Scientology: Fundementals of Thought


You may have been taught that the mind, spirit and life are very difficult things to know about. This is the first principle of Scientology:
"It is possible to know about the mind, the spirit and life."— L. Ron Hubbard


Designated by L. Ron Hubbard as the Book One of Scientology.
After having fully unified and codified the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology came the refinement of their fundamentals. Originally published as a resume' of Scientology for use in translations into non-English tongues, this book is of inestimable value to both the beginner and advanced student of the mind, spirit and life.Equipped with this book alone, one can begin a practice and perform seeming miracle changes in the states of well-being, ability and intelligence of people.

Contained within are:
The Cycle-of-Action, revealing what underlies the continuous cycle of creation, survival and destruction — a cycle that seems inevitable in life, but which is only an apparency.
The Conditions-of-Existence that comprise all life and livingness — and by which one can truly be.
The Eight Dynamics upon which all life is compartmented and by which one can resolve the puzzle of their own existence.
The Affinity, Reality and Communication Triangle, revealing and explaining the underlying principles of true human relations.
The Parts of Man, the comprehensive explanation of Spirit, Mind and Body, their anatomy and interrelationship in every being.
The Reason Why, answering the questions of "what it's all about" and giving the very elements of survival, happiness and life itself.
Scientology Processes that unlock the life force that is you. And, with this book, you won't just "learn" — you'll discover these principles for yourself. Because this is Scientology — the knowledge of you.

This book is available in our bookstore in Hardcover, paperback and audio book. Buy your copy today!

Self Analysis


Self Analysis is the first book to provide definite techniques to improve memory, speed reaction time, handle psychosomatic illness and reduce stress. It offers the means to spiritual self-discovery through a series of processes designed to give you the clearest look you have ever had into your past.

A series of tests at the beginning of the processing section enables you to assess your current emotional condition and spiritual state before starting, and provides a gauge of the improvements achieved as you progress through the book. You then embark on an analysis of your past, guided by simple and specific directions.Through the processing contained in Self Analysis, you can discover that you are a much better friend to yourself than you ever thought possible.
Here is the easy do-it-yourself manual on how to apply Dianetics techniques to yourself.

The barriers of life are really just shadows. Learn to know yourself — not just a shadow of yourself. Containing the most complete description of consciousness, Self Analysis takes you through your past, through your potentials, your life.

First, with a series of self-examinations and using a special version of the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, you plot yourself on the Tone Scale.

Then, applying a series of light yet powerful processes, you embark on the great adventure of self-discovery.

This book further contains embrasive principles that reach any case, from the lowest to the highest — including auditing techniques so effective they are referred to by Mr. Hubbard again and again through all following years of research into the highest states.

In sum, this book not only moves one up the Tone Scale but can pull a person out of almost anything.

Book is Available in Hardcover and paperback at our bookstore.

Science of Survival


The most useful book you will ever own.

Built around the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, Science of Survival provides the first accurate prediction of human behavior.

Included on the chart are all the manifestations of an individual’s survival potential graduated from highest to lowest, making this the complete book on the Tone Scale.

Knowing only one or two characteristics of a person and using this chart, you can plot his or her position on the Tone Scale and thereby know the rest, obtaining an accurate index of their entire personality, conduct and character.

Before this book the world was convinced that cases could not improve but only deteriorate.Science of Survival presents the idea of different states of case and the brand-new idea that one can progress upward on the Tone Scale.

The Science of Survival Lectures
Underlying the development of the Tone Scale and Chart of Human Evaluation was a monumental breakthrough: The Theta-Mest Theory, containing the explanation of the interaction between Life — theta — with the physical universe of Matter, Energy, Space and Time — mest.

In these lectures, delivered to students immediately following publication of the book, Mr. Hubbard gave the most expansive description of all that lies behind the Chart of Human Evaluation and its application in life itself. 4 lectures on CD.

This book is available in hardcover only.

Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health


Dianetics is an adventure. It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast and hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads.” — L. Ron Hubbard

Containing discoveries heralded as greater than the wheel or fire, Dianetics has remained a bestseller for more than 50 years. And with over 20 million copies in print, generating a movement that spans virtually every country on Earth, it's indisputably the most widely read and influential book ever written about the human mind. Here is the anatomy and full description of the Reactive Mind, the previously unknown source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurities which enslave Man. This book shows you how to get rid of it, and so achieve something Man has previously only dreamed of: the State of Clear.Among the discoveries herein:

*The Goal of Man

*The Dynamic Principle of Existence — the one word that motivates all living things

*The Four Dynamics — the drives upon which all of life is compartmented

*The Descriptic Graph of Survival — revealing one's true potential and how to achieve it*The discovery of and complete anatomy of the Reactive Mind

*The painful experiences — engrams — contained in the Reactive Mind which command one to act irrationally against their own wishes and goals

*The impact of prenatal engrams — what took place before you were born and how it's influenced you ever since.

Dianetics enables you to discover and eradicate these harmful experiences so they never affect you again, revealing the one person you've always wanted to know — you.

Dianetics Lectures and Demonstrations: Immediately following the publication of Dianetics, LRH began lecturing to packed auditoriums across America. Although addressing thousands at a time, demand continued to grow. To meet that demand, his presentation in Oakland, California, was recorded. In these four lectures, Ron related the events that sparked his investigation and his personal journey to his groundbreaking discoveries. He followed it all with a personal demonstration of Dianetics auditing — the only such demonstration of Book One available.

This book is available in our Bookstore in hardcover, paperback and in audiobook format. Lectures are available on CD.

Dianetics: Evolution Of A Science



Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science is L. Ron Hubbard's own story revealing how he arrived at his discovery of the Reactive Mind that underlies and enslaves man.

Originally written for a national magazine — published to coincide with the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health — it started a wildfire movement virtually overnight upon that book’s publication. Here then are both the fundamentals of Dianetics as well as the only account of Mr. Hubbard’s two-decade journey of discovery and how he applied scientific methodology to the problems of the human mind. Evolution of a Science contains the only account of:

-How the optimum computing machine — the mind — works

-How Mr. Hubbard discovered Basic Personality

-How the Dynamic Principle of Existence — SURVIVE! — was first isolatedHow wrong answers enter into the mind and are held down, giving further wrong answers

-How there seem to be "Demons" of the mind

-How the engram was discovered

-How Dianetics techniques were developed.

That's why Evolution of a Science is the story of the greatest adventure of all — the exploration that discovered the Reactive Mind and the technology to conquer it. He wrote it so you would know.

Available in hardback, paperback or audiobook format. Call our bookstore @ (206) 365-1884 to place your order.

Scientology and Christmas

Here is Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard's famous Christmas message to all Scientologists:

“The spirit of Christmas lives with us.
We are the protectors of the real tradition of Christmas
– peace on earth and goodwill to all.

We are the hope of man. The only hope.

Mankind’s salvation lies within our hands.
With our tech and ability we can create here on earth
a real heaven where men can be free.
In our hands lie the power to restore to man
his determinism and all that he finds
good in himself, his honesty, his integrity
and the thrill of being of real help to others.

A very Merry Christmas to you all
and a bright friendly New Year.

LRH, Christmas Day 1976 "


Wishing you a Merry Christmas from the Staff of the Mission of Seattle.

The Basic Books of Dianetics and Scientology.


As the year comes to a close, the last few postings for this year will be on the basic books of Dianetics and Scientology. No matter what you are told, the ONLY way to get a understanding of this subject for your self is by studying the books and lectures. So here we go!

The materials of Dianetics and Scientology comprise the largest body of information ever assembled on the mind, spirit and life, rigorously refined and codified by L. Ron Hubbard through five decades of research, investigation and development. The results of that work are contained in hundreds of books and more than 3000 recorded lectures.
Dianetics is a forerunner and substudy of Scientology. For people new to the subject, we will give you information on the reommended books for beginners and the sequence they were written starting with the first one.

Dianetics: The Original Thesis
Ron’s first description of Dianetics. Originally circulated in manuscript form, it was soon copied and passed from hand to hand. Ensuing word of mouth created such demand for more information, Ron concluded the only way to answer the inquiries was with a book. That book was Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, now the all-time self-help bestseller.Find out what started it all. For here is the bedrock foundation of Dianetic discoveries:
-The Original Axioms
-The Dynamic Principle of Existence
-The Anatomy of the Analytical and Reactive Mind
-The Dynamics
-The Tone Scale
-The Auditor’s Code and the first description of a Clear. Even more than that, here are the primary laws describing how and why auditing works.
It’s only here in Dianetics: The Original Thesis
This book is available in Hardcover, Paperback and Audiobook. Contact our bookstore (206) 365-1884 on how to purchase it.

Goals and Games

Taking yesterday's blog a step further, what is the optimum way to achieve your goals?

The majority of people in Scientology treat a goal in the same way they treat life: as a game!

L. Ron Hubbard wrote in his book: Scientology: A new Slant On Life


"Life is a game.


A game consists of freedom, barriers and purposes.


This is a scientific fact, not merely an observation.


Freedom exists among barriers. A totality of barriers and a totality of freedom, alike, are

"no-game conditions." Each is similarly cruel. Each is similarly purposeless"


More information on games is contained in this book. Try it.

Goals

There are probably many people out there you can name who achieved great success in an endeavor after they were told: you can't do it!, it's impossible, no one would ________ , etc...

One difference between being a success or not is having a goal and believing you can achieve it.
Be True To Your Own Goals is the last point in the Code of Honor.

So the first thing to making the above an actuality is to have a goal. Now that you have a goal, is it a pro-survival one? Not just for yourself but for others. And then are you willing to go through any barrier that may get in your way? If you are, not only will you be true to your goal, you will achieve it!

Unless you have done quite a bit of study into this area on your own, you should prepare yourself for one hell of a shock as you find out what is really going on.”

Whose decisions should you trust?

The simple and correct answer is-Your own!

Point #14 of the code of honor is:
Be your own adviser, keep your own counsel and select your own decisions.

Some things may play a part in it like information, knowledge (or lack of), others advice, etc... but in the end the decisions you make are the ones you'll have to live with.

You make a wrong decision. So what! If it doesn't cost you physical harm or your life and/or affect others the same way, more times than not you will have an opportunity to correct it. Sometimes, it better to make a wrong decision than no decision at all.

And when you make a correct decision, take all the credit in the world for it.

This does not mean never listen to anyone or take their advice. Just make sure you decide in for yourself if it's good or not for you and other around you.

December

December is upon us and it symbolizes many things. Among them is the beginning of the holiday season and also the end of the current year.

The holiday season is fun for some, depressing and stressful for others. It really doesn't have to be the latter. You can decide and create how you want it to be for you. Not saying it will be easy but it can be done. Go out and see some live events: plays, music etc... . That is much better than sitting around and watching TV or doing nothing. Have fun this season.

December is also great from the standpoint of if your year went well, it gives you the momentum to do event better next year. And if your year wasn't as great as you wished, you can end cycle and start off fresh.

Another way to build your morale and feel good this season is to help others. You can send Christmas or Holiday cards to the troops, help at your local food bank or other helpful organization. You can call our church also to volunteer your help.

There are no shortage of things you can do this season. Have fun!

Discovering the Threat


Over the past few weeks, we have given you some tools that will help you be more at cause over the threatening environment. But what is the threat and who and what are keeping things stirred up to continue the threatening environment?

The more obvious answer may be organizations like a government, rogue countries, etc... but there are less obvious people and groups that have a hand in this.

Read the article called The Merchants of Chaos which is in the booklet Solutions for a Dangerous Environment.

Why Dianetics?


Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health has been a best-seller since 1950 and is needed more today than when it was first published. But why this book?

There are good things happening in society and there are also a lot of problems out there. The solutions people use to solve these problems usually result in wars, shootings, "revenge" or just plan stupid things that if it does solve anything, it is short term.

Dianetics tackles the long-term solution to man's social problems. It discovers the source of these problems and what you can do to get rid of it forever.

It's not an accident that this book has survived the test of time. IT WORKS! And that is why you should read the book for yourself.

Want To Be Well-Liked?

Most, of course, would say yes. But do you know that some of the toughest, most dedicated and most successful people and organizations in the world are hated, despised and even attacked by "The People"? Yet, they continue to product great products.

It is safe to say that the above, if they want to be liked, don't desire it. That leads us to point #13 of the code of honor: Don't desire to be like or admired.

Some people go out of their way to have the press, public, etc... want to like them. Others do the opposite to not like them. Both are foolish. If you do good things that does the greatest good for every one involved (heard that one before?), for certain you will have people that won't like you but you will have many more that will like you and admire you to boot because you are doing something that helps them. The thing may be is that they don't have a speaking platform to tell you so and the others do but be assured they are out there.

So here is the the answer to the question Want To Be Well-Liked? Don't desire it!

Ways to Lessen The Threat #4

Here is another way on how to become more at cause over the dangerous environment:

4. Find Something That Isn’t Hostile to You
There are people who feel as if everybody in the environment is hostile to them.
For a person like this, there is another technique that will lessen his fears.
One could ask any of several different questions, depending upon the situation. Examples of these are:
“Find something people say or do around here that isn’t hostile to you.”
“Is there one person in the company who isn’t actively hostile to you?”
“Is there anything said today that wasn’t directly and immediately hostile to you?”
Ask the person one of the above questions (or a similar question with a wording more appropriate to the person’s situation). For example, ask him, “Is there one person in the company who isn’t actively hostile to you?”

Continue this until the person feels better, is happier and has had a realization about himself, the environment or life in general.

Sunday, November 16, 2008

In a Just Cause

This next point in the Code of Honor is simple but also complex:
#12. Never fear to hurt another in a just cause.

It's simple when it involves yourself or your immediate family members.
The complexity comes when people take it too far or worse yet, do nothing, when needed, for fear of being ridiculed, etc... . So what would be a just cause?

You have doing something for the greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics. Any person or thing that would do something that is not in the greatest good would be a just cause. Keep that in mind when deciding on whether to act or not.

Ways To Lessen The Threat #2

Last week, we gave you one thing you can do to become at cause over your environment. Here is another one, taken from the Scientology Handbook booklet; Solutions For a Dangerous Environment:

2) Don't Read the Newspaper

This part is not mentioned in the booklet but you should include Don't Watch the News on TV also!

"This is very simple, Tell the person "Don't read the Newspaper for two weeks and see if you don't feel better"

If he doesn't read the newspapers for two weeks, of course he will feel better.

Then tell him " Now read the newspaper for a week, and at the end of that week you will find you will feel worse. Then make up your mind whether or not you ought to pay any attention to the newspaper"

Try it as an experiment.

Sunday, November 9, 2008

Why Regret Your Past?

If you view the news, a lot of supermarket magazines, the Internet and other media, the main point of an attack on someone is attacking their past. This person did this and that person did that!

Or maybe you haven't done as well as your wished and made decisions that led you astray from that. Ever regretted not doing something?

Possibly your past was something to be questioned, condemned or scorned. Maybe that is your present situation. What can you do about it?

Point #11 of the Code of Honor gives and answer:
"Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow".

Regret is a very low emotional state and does more harm than good. A better solution is to rise up and look forward to facing the challenges of tomorrow. You have the vigor and energy to do it.

Now this code doesn't mean do not have take responsibility for what you have done or are doing if it's bad or not desirable and want to change it. Not taking responsibility is probably what got you in the situation you're in. Just don't stay in that state of regret and look forward to tomorrow.

Ways to Lessen the Threat #1

It's not that things are not dangerous out there but some people have this crazy idea by their actions to make things far more dangerous than they actually are. So are going to go over some solutions or things you can do to lessen and become more at cause over it. One of them was mentioned last week with Take a Walk. Here is another one, taken from the booklet; Solutions For A Dangerous Environment:

1) Find Something That Isn't Being a Threat
" When one gets too upset or confused, one can have him look around his environment and find something that isn't being a threat to him. Carry on doing this until the person is very happy or relieved and has a realization about him the environment or life in general."

Try it!

Your True Self

The 10th point of the Code of Honor is: Your Integrity to yourself is more important than your body. I guess you could look at that physically and spiritually. What is your definition of integrity? And do you judge that more importantly that your or any one's physical looks?

Friday, October 31, 2008

So, What is Money ?

... which is what most have their attention on these days. Actually, the topic we should be talking about is Economics but that is for another day. The government can just print it but if there is no products to use it for, it is as worthless as the paper it is printed on.

Despite the million and one ways to twist and corrupt money and its use, there are some basic principles that if applied, can increase the amount of money you can make.

We offer a basic course called The Dynamics of Money and from that you can learn those basics and start applying it increase your inflow of money. Stop in our Mission or any Church and take this course.

If you want to which Person, Politician or Presidential Candidate to trust. you will have more insight after reading this booklet.

A Near Cure-All !


In the last blog, we mentioned about working and producing a worthwhile product. But have you ever felt so down and tired that you don't want to do anything? Could that be the condition where certain people who do not have your best interest in mind want you to be?

The way to start handling those "certain people" is contained in the Cause of Suppression booklet. There is also a very simple thing you can do to handle the down and tired feeling.

L Ron Hubbard mentions this in his book: The Problems of Work. He says;

"When one feels tired on finishing his work - no matter if the thought of doing so is almost all he can tolerate without falling through the floor - he should go out and walk around the block until he feels rested.

Take a Walk is, within reason, a near cure-all. "

That and other great tidbits are contained in the above book.

Self Determinism & Honor

It's been a couple of months since we last talked about the Code of Honor and I want to pick it up from there.

So far the codes we have gone over are:

1) Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble.

2) Never withdraw allegiance once granted.

3) Never desert a group to which you owe your support.

4) Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power

5) Never need praise, approval or sympathy.

6) Never compromise with your own reality.

7) Never permit your affinity to be alloyed.

8) Do not give or receive communication unless you yourself desire it.

That brings us to the next one; Your self-determinism and your honor are more important than your immediate life. While this could be seen easily when talking about a Fireman or woman, a Police Officer or someone in the military, it's not so when talking about everyday life.

Find out what you think is honorable and how does it align with the greatest good for everyone and use your self determinism to achieve it is one suggestion. This is not an easy one and takes some time to make it work for you!

Have you noticed how we have more and more regulations; more and more police; more and more force being used on us?

Here is what LRH says:
“Here we have this remarkable thing: a computation that the only way to bring about law and order or to bring about control or direction or even betterment, is by applying more restraint, more law, more handcuffs. And that is the computation.”

You see this game of force causing a rapid deterioration in the world around us!
Here is what LRH says:
”By decreasing freedom you increase trouble. By increasing freedom you decrease trouble. That’s the truth.

Help your friends find out how they can break out of this and other traps! Call the Org and ask Christina to reserve your seats.

Your minister is Rev Bob Hamilton.

See You in Church at 11am this Sunday!
Where: Church of Scientology of Washington State
601 Aurora Ave. N.
Seattle, WA 98109

The Raising of Children


We have talked about children, schools and drugs over the past month but the one thing that hasn't been brought up is the raising of children. How do you get off to a good start so that all the bad stuff could be curtailed, or prevented all together?


Here is a basic book that will give you the tools on raising a sane, happy child. Contact us at (206) 365-1884 for more information or to purchase the booklet.

Start of School!

The school year has started for some or is just around the corner for others. Here are some sites you should visit:

Archives.gov is a must to learn about the US Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and other documents that make the US what it is (or what it should be).

Youth for Human Rights teaches children about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If you never heard of it, well that is one way to keep people uninformed, by not promoting it. Know your global rights by reading the document contained in this site.

The Way to Happiness is a site that teaches successful living from a non-religious viewpoint. The 21 precepts have been documented here on this blog and you can check out the site.

Drug Free World is a site that gives the kids the straight facts on drugs, legal and illegal. Definitely you or your child should check out this site. It may save your child from a lifetime of drug-taking.

Friday, August 29, 2008

Recommended Sites For Educational Tools

For most this is the last weekend before school starts up. All of the books mentioned are available at our Church including the courses that go with them.


For those who make have a problem in doing a course here, there are a couple of sites you can visit:


Applied Scholastics International is the top place to train teachers to become better Educators. They also have all the books mentioned earlier, have course materials for teachers. and a home study course you can do.


Heron Books is a great place to get lesson plans, course materials and other study stuff on specific subjects.


E Learn Aid is an on-line store that has an array of study books, dictionaries and encyclopedias for every student and teacher in several languages.

Instead of using drugs to get your child (or yourself) through the year, use some of the tools mentioned over the past month. You'll be glad you did!

Stay Up And Study

We have been talking about study and education all this month. Drug go hand in hand with the educational problems we face. The video Stay Up And Study shows you some of the perils in using drugs to study.

Monday, August 25, 2008

Your Next Step


Now that you have all the basic books on study under your belt, here is a book that you will need. How to Use a Dictionary will help speed your progress in learning anything.

This book provides students with the means to get the most out of their education. Students learn everything from finding words quickly to understanding the symbols in dictionaries. It opens doors for those who would otherwise be unable to understand even the simplest of terms.
This book is available in itself and to do as a course. Contact us for more information.

Child's Play for Adults


It's a shame that this book has the title it does, Grammar and Communication for Children because it's one of the best book on basic grammar. The majority of the people taking this course at our mission are and have been ADULTS!

This book utilizes simple text and clear explanations to provide students with the basics of grammar, and spoken and written communication. Its clarity is key in preventing students from developing an all too common distaste for the subject. It helps students clarify grammar with the purpose of improving the ability to communicate.
So don't let the name fool you. It's a powerful book and course for any person at any age.

The Divine Right to Communicate

There is Freedom of Speech in our Constitution in the US. Just because you have the right to communicate doesn't mean you have to.

Do Not Give or Receive Communication Unless You Youself Desire It is the next point in the Code of Honor. Some people feel any comments they have about something (namely this site) has the right to be heard and published here. There was a great blog a couple of months back in Grahame's Scientology Blog site that tackled this. Read it for yourself and come to your own decision.

You have the right to give and receive communication as you wish.

True Friends To The End

Other people can sway how you feel about someone, even from one friend towards another. You could have an influential person in your life saying you should hang out or talk to so and so anymore for whatever reason. And this other person has been a friend. How do you handle this?


If that other person is a true friend, try code #7 of the Code of Honor:
Never Permit Your Affinity to be Alloyed.


A definition of Affinity, taken from the book: Scientology: A New Slant on Life is "A degree of liking" and a definition of Alloyed would be to weaken or reduce the value of. People will try to have you not associate with people if they feel it would not serve their own ends. You really have to look out for this if you become a person of power and influence. Others can discourage your from being with good friends you grew up with, etc...


In short, YOU decide whether you want to be friend with a person or not. Don't allow others to decide that for you. And if you have a true friend, be a friend to the end !

To be Popular

Learning how to study is just one of the pressures students have to face when in school. Another is drugs and the peer pressure to just "try it" by other students. Here is a video that show the disastrous results in the attempt to become "Popular" .

Monday, August 4, 2008

Learn how to Study!


It was mentioned that we would tell you about some great books and courses you child can participate in to get ready for the up-coming school year. The first one is a beginning book that introduces your child on how to study.

The book is called: Learning How to Learn

This extensively illustrated book communicates in an easy to understand manner. Study methods are communicated that will help your child to really understand what he reads. Also communicated is what to do when he or she is having trouble with a subject. Three barriers to study are covered. How to detect the barriers and how to really handle them. This information will help your children to get better grades and more importantly it will help them to understand and apply what they study so they can do well in life.

You can purchase this book in our bookstore and we deliver a course at our mission where you child will get hands-on supervision so they will be able to apply what they learn. Contact us to get started.

Sunday, August 3, 2008

What is True for You

We all have our own reality on things whether it's beliefs in religion, the existence in the Easter Bunny or whatever.

Never compromise with your own reality is point #6 in the Code of Honor. The toughest thing is keeping your reality despite others trying to change it. Always remember that what is true is what's true for you ! And until you find out for yourself otherwise, you should stay to what you believe.

Thursday, July 31, 2008

August

July is behind us and we look forward to August. Since school is around the corner, we will tell you about some thing that could improve your child's learning ability and education in general.

Stop in the Mission and check out the books.

The Scientology Video Channel has been updated as it will be periodically. Among the new things are 12 new PSA's on drugs. Check out what's else is new and even the other thing that are there.

Coming Together to Fight Drugs

Scientology has many effective Social Betterment programs and among them is the handling of the drug problem. But if you think this is only for Scientology and Scientologists. Think again!

It is for use for anyone who wants to get rid of drugs ans one of the main problems we have in our society. Here are what other people, non-scientologists, say about our programs and the effectiveness of ridding the world of drugs

Who was L. Ron Hubbard ?

Here is a video that show the life of L Ron Hubbard, The Founder of Dianetics and Scientology.

Sunday, July 27, 2008

Praise, Approval and Sympathy

The next point in the Code of Honor is; Never Need Praise, Approval or Sympathy. If you stick to your guns and accomplish things that will enhance survival, you'll get all of the praise and approval you can handle. Just don't demand it!

A word on Sympathy. You might think it's all right to give out sympathy. Person's relative passes away, another person is not doing too well in life. One thing you need to know is that sympathy is low on the emotional tone scale (remember that?) and in most cases does more harm than good. It is far more helpful to do something for the person to lift them up, even a little bit. We have in Scientology many tools you can use to accomplish that. If you can't accomplish that, you can at least make them feel comfortable, but that doesn't include sympathizing with them.

This is tougher than you think but give it a try.

The Mind and KRC


We have been talking about Knowledge, Responsibility and Control over the past couple of days. The Mind, Body, Spirit and life are excellent subjects to know and apply KRC to. After all, they are part of you whether you realize it or not. Scientology is an Applied Religious Philosophy that gives you the tools to have KRC on the above.

There has been an unwritten rule that only certain people should know anything about the mind. This is what L.Ron Hubbard said about the in the book: Dianetics 55.

" WHY SHOULD ANYONE want to know anything about the Human Mind? And for that matter, why should anyone believe the knowledge of the human mind is either unobtainable or undesirable?

Anyone who knows the structure, function and dynamics of the human is very difficult to control. The only way a mind can be controlled is by enforcing upon it ignorance of itself."

Pretty cool huh !

The Other Triangle

If you have ever seen the Scientology Symbol, you will notice there is an S imposed over "two" triangles. The bottom one is the more well known and it is called the Affinity, Reality & Communication (ARC) triangle. The ARC triangle is the key to understanding anything and well worth knowing and applying.


So what is the "other triangle" and what does it stand for? If you read yesterday's blog, at the end is your clue. The other triangle, the top triangle is the KRC triangle and stands for Knowledge, Responsibility and Control. It relates with minimizing your power or strength from the standpoint of to the degree you minimize yourself, the less KRC you have with things in life. As with the ARC triangle, this "other triangle" is worth knowing too.

Sunday, July 20, 2008

What is your true strength?

Think of this scenario. You are a kid in school and you're pretty bright. Every time the teacher asks a question and when the rest of the kids don't have an answer, you do. The other kids start making fun of you so not get teased anymore, you "play dumb" and don't answer as many questions.

Or this one: You are a runner and you know all of the runners at a particular are better than you. So you fake an injury and not participate.

There are a million such scenarios like the above and all are doing the same thing,
Making yourself and your abilities smaller than they actually are !

Never disparage yourself or minimize your strength or power is Code of Honor point #4. Unfortunately, the society in a way advocates people or groups who minimizes their strength and power. The main way is by using labels. "At Risk Kids", "Battered Women", "ADD or ADHD", "Minorities" "Disabled" and a host of others serve that purpose. And they are not needed.

The truth is there isn't a person around that couldn't rise up and increase their abilities to some degree. It takes Knowledge, Responsibility and Control. Try it !

Friday, July 18, 2008

Is One Enough ?

If you are talking about drugs, Yes. Watch this short but powerful video on the effects of just
"One Hit".

What's Happening at the Mission

We are in the middle of our Summer Maiden Voyage events but there are many other things you can participate in every day we're open at the mission.

Inside a Church of Scientology

So what is inside a Church of Scientology ? Here is a video that give you a look.
Inside a Church of Scientology

Hopefully, this will be the first look of many for you !

Sunday, July 13, 2008

Who Deserves Your Support?

This one may sound a little like code #2 but this is aimed more toward groups. We live in an era where it seems like most people join a group or organization with one foot out the door, ready to abandon it at the first word of bad news or rumor about that group. Whether that news or rumor is true or not, you have to look at the whole purpose and work that group does to come to a true decision on them.

Never desert a group to which you owe your support is Code of Honor point #3. What factors could you look at in determining if you should support a group? Here are some points:

1) Are they more constructive to society than destructive, in other words, doing the greatest good for the overall scene?

2) Do they do what they say and deliver what they promise more times than not?

3) Can what that group produces help improve your life and others?

Those are just some. If a group meets the above, it's a safe bet to assume that they are worthy of your support. As part of one group, Scientology, we can never "go on automatic" and think people will support us because of what we do. As for you, the only way you will truly come to an answer for the above is to Look and Observe. Be critical, doubting or skeptical if you want but also be sure to Look !

Does Scientology deserve your support? How about the Red Cross, Microsoft, your local police or even the government ? Look and find out for yourselves.

Life Improvement Center


And here is a rendition of what the new Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center in will look like. It is located on one of the busiest streets in downtown Seattle and in fact, is in the area where L.Ron Hubbard picked the organization for Seattle to be.

Seattle Org's New Home


I mentioned in the last blog about the Church of Scientology of Washington State new quarters. Here is a rendition of what the outside will look like when it is completed. I will have all of the amenities that will make it Ideal and expand Scientology not only through Seattle, but the entire state of Washington.

Monday, July 7, 2008

Scientology in the Seattle Area

Scientology has a long history in the Seattle area and here is an overview of the Churches and Missions around.

We have 3 Scientology Missions and 1 larger Church (The Org) in the area. The larger church is the Church of Scientology of Washington State. Believe it or not, it is one of the oldest continuing organizations in the world for Scientology (established around 1957). They already have their Ideal Org building funded will be moving in their new quarters soon. They will also have a Life Improvement Center downtown in the near future. Here, you can purchase and do the
Basic Books of Dianetics and Scientology Home Study Course, Life Improvement course and get Scientology Counseling (Auditing). Their main purpose is train people to become Scientology Counselors (Auditor). This is also the hub for all of Scientology's social reform activities in the Seattle area and where you can attend a Scientology Sunday Service. For more information, click on their link or contact them at (206) 284-0604.

The 1st of the Missions is the Mission of Seattle. We have been around since 1980 and at our current location for the last 10 years which is in North Seattle. Our purpose as with all of the other missions around the world is to promote Scientology to the public and sell and deliver basic books and courses to improve and better their life and the lives of others. You can get the
Beginning Books of Dianetics and Scientology here as well as do the Basic Books and Lectures courses. We also have courses on life improvement, studying, handling stress and upsets, communication, marriage and children and improving integrity. There is Scientology Auditing and we give free lectures and introductory services you can take and have films you can watch. You are welcomed to visit. For more information, click on our link or contact us at (206) 365-1884.

The next one is the Eastside Mission , located in Redmond, Washington. They are about 10 miles to the east of Seattle and the 2 well known companies located in their area are Microsoft and Nintendo. They have the same Scientology books, courses and auditing services as the Seattle Mission does. Click on their link for more information of contact them at (425) 558-7600.

The last of the missions is the Bellingham Mission, located in Bellingham, Washington which is 90 miles to the north of Seattle. They are geographically closer to the Vancouver B.C. Org than Seattle. They have and deliver all of the basic books and service except Scientology Counseling. For more information, click on their link or contact them at (360) 715-8803.

So Scientology in the area has endured and withstood the test of time. The public are invited to visit any of our locations to see what it is all about. And for Scientologists, to keep it there in the future, we would love to have people come and help us by volunteering, joining staff which is most important or doing whatever they can. Contact any of the organizations and help us make Scientology happen in the area.

Through Thick and Thin

We all have friends but sometimes you are not sure if they will "have your back" when times get tough. And we may have wavered on our friends or group when they needed us.

That brings is to point #2 of the Code of Honor: Never Withdraw Allegiance Once Granted.
Allegiance is a strong word and the definition is: loyalty owed to one's country, loyalty to or support of a person or cause (Oxford American Dictionary).

Allegiance is not something that can be forced on or by someone. It has to be earned. But once earned, whether it is a person or group, keep your loyalty with them

Independence Day

Happy Independence Day from the Mission of Seattle !

This day is more than BB Q's and fireworks. This is the date that 56 brave men from 13 Colonies took a stand against oppression and unfair treatment. They formed and signed the
Declaration of Independence, announcing their freedom from England. If you have never read this document, take the opportunity to do so by clicking on the link provided which is supplied by www.archeives.gov.

Freedom has to be constantly fought for, not always by war, but by knowing your rights and liberties, given by the laws of that land and by the creator, and ensuring they are maintained.

Keep fighting for true freedom!

Putting Ethics into use

Now that you know what Ethics is (if you don't, read the link in Monday's blog), the next question could be; "How does this apply to me?" Did you know there are exact steps you can follow that will lead you to a better condition in life? And better yet, they are already written out for you.

Click on the link and read the article Conditions: States of Existence. Everyone is in a certain condition, good, bad or in the middle and this could help you up. It may not be an easy to do but if followed, it will lead you to where you always wanted to be in life, and without the baggage. Good luck and we welcome your comments.

Ethics and History

As you can read in The Basics of Ethics, man has been trying for a long time to sort out the difference between ethics, morals and justice. This article gives the difference between them and why we need these in the first place.

To Help or Not to Help ?

That is an interesting question. Probably a better one would be "Who to help or who not to help?" You tried to help someone and got stabbed in the back for it. Or you didn't help a person and they got in worse trouble than if you would have given them a hand. So what do you do?

Precept #1 of the Code of Honor is: Never desert a comrade in need, in danger or in trouble.
Now remember, this is a code of luxury and it cannot be enforced on you. I bet you can think of several people, past and present, in your life that truly need some help of any kind. It could be as simple as helping them come up with a solution that could solve their own problems.

Look at how you can put this first code to use in you lives. There is no wrong answer to this, except perhaps not doing anything at all !

Scientology's System of Ethics

You have heard about Ethics or at least heard the term. There is the Ethics Committee in congress, and businesses have Ethics Officers. What is Ethics and what is the Scientology system of ethics? That information you a read below.

The Scientology system of ethics is based wholly on reason.

L. Ron Hubbard has defined ethics as “reason and the contemplation of optimum survival.” He has also pointed out: “Dishonest conduct is non survival. Anything is unreasonable or evil which brings about the destruction of individuals, groups, or inhibits the future of the race.”
Ethics may be defined as the actions an individual takes on himself to ensure his continued survival across the dynamics. It is a personal thing. When one is ethical, it is something he does himself by his own choice.

The Scientology ethics system includes a body of technology called conditions formulas. L. Ron Hubbard discovered that there are various states of existence and that there are exact formulas connected with these states. A person can determine what condition any area of his life is in and apply a formula to immediately improve this condition. While very simple, such actions are quite powerful and have enabled millions of individuals to improve their lives in ways never thought possible.

Another part of Scientology’s ethics system is what is known as Confessionals. Man has long postulated a means by which he could put himself on the right path. As long ago as 500 B.C., religions recognized that confession frees a person spiritually from the burden of sin. In Scientology, it has been found that a Confessional (a type of auditing) assists the person who has transgressed against his own and his group’s moral code to unburden himself and again feel good about himself and be a contributing member of the group.

As L. Ron Hubbard has written: “No man who is not himself honest can be free — he is his own trap. When his own deeds cannot be disclosed, then he is a prisoner; he must withhold himself from his fellows and is a slave to his own conscience.”

These are just two of the tools from the wealth of ethics technology that exists in Scientology. Complete information on this subject is contained in Introduction to Scientology Ethics by L. Ron Hubbard. Click here to buy the book.

Introduction to the Code of Honor

In November 1954, Dianetics and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote the Code of Honor.

What is unique about this code is that it is NOT a moral code that can be enforced but it actually a code of luxury.


We have moral codes all over the place. Most of them were taken from experience in that they were committing those acts were more harmful than helpful. Sometimes a code could get passed that should be a luxury code and was turned into a moral code. Years ago (late 1990's, early 2000's) there was an incident I believe here in Washington State, where a child was unfortunately killed and the mother attempted to have a law passed where it would have been MANDATORY that you help a person in danger and it would have been enforceable. That is an example of making a code of luxury into a moral code.

Therefore, it is code that is used by the self determined decision of the person to follow it. To quote Mr. Hubbard's comment on it;

“If you believed man was worthy enough to be granted by you sufficient stature so as to permit you to exercise gladly the Code of Honor, I can guarantee that you would be a happy person. And if you found an occasional miscreant falling away from the best standards you have developed, you yet did not turn away from the rest of man, and if you discovered yourself betrayed by those you were seeking to defend and yet did not then experience a complete reversal of opinion about all your fellow men, there would be no dwindling spiral for you.

“The only difference between paradise on Earth and hell on Earth is whether or not you believe your fellow man worthy of receiving from you the friendship and devotion called for in this Code of Honor.”

Moral Codes we live by

Every Religion has their own moral code and Scientology is no exception. Here is the question answered as taken from the book What is Scientology?. We will take up one of these codes (The Code of Honor) and go through one each week as they are good to know and live by.

What moral codes do Scientologists live by?
There are four main codes that Scientologists apply in life. One is the Auditor’s Code, which gives the basic rules an auditor must abide by to ensure excellent auditing results. Another is the Code of a Scientologist, guidelines which Scientologists agree to follow in order to achieve the aims of Scientology. There is an ethical code, called the Code of Honor, that Scientologists follow in their day-to-day activities with their fellow men. L. Ron Hubbard also has written a nonreligious moral code called The Way to Happiness which gives basic precepts for a happy life. This moral code is used by Scientologists and non-Scientologists alike, and tens of millions of copies have been distributed in communities all around the world.
