What about those who cannot afford to make donations for services?
There is a Free Scientology Center in Churches of Scientology where those who cannot afford to donate may receive auditing without donation. As described above, many Scientology services do not require donation, and Scientology scripture is available at local Churches of Scientology and libraries.
There are also books, books, books and free public lectures, Sunday services and other religious services for which there is no donation. Books can be obtained in the local area by going to a Church of Scientology, a public bookstore or local library.
Is the Church profit-making?
No. Scientology churches are nonprofit organizations, and all donations they receive are used exclusively in their ministries.
How much does it cost to go Clear?
The cost varies depending on which path one takes.
One way is to donate for auditing and participate in auditing services all the way up to Clear. The preferred route, however, is to become trained as an auditor and co-audit with another Scientologist. The co-auditing route to Clear requires far less in donations than to only have auditing ministered to oneself, plus one helps another to progress spiritually. As auditing costs much more for the church to supply (requiring several staff for each parishioner) donations necessarily must be higher. Training is much more economical and an incentive for persons to receive training and then co-audit, without cost, to the state of Clear.
No matter which path one chooses, all who have attained the state of Clear express the pricelessness of the increased spiritual freedom they have achieved.
