The word Scientology literally means "the study of truth."
It comes from the Latin word "scio" meaning "knowing
in the fullest sense of the word" and the Greek word
"logos" meaning "study of."
Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship
to itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises
a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths.
Prime among these:
Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends
well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited,
even if not presently realized — and those capabilities can
be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems,
accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also
achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability.
In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief
or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed
to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology
works by personally applying its principles and observing
or experiencing results.
Through Scientology, people all over the world are achieving
the long-sought goal of true spiritual release and freedom.
