Scientology addresses the
spirit - not the body or mind -
and believes that Man is far
more than a product of his
environment, or his genes.
Scientology comprises a body
of knowledge which extends
from certain fundamental
truths. Prime among these
are:
Man is an immortal
spiritual being.
His experience extends
well beyond a single
lifetime.
His capabilities are
unlimited, even if not
presently realized.
As with any religion,
Scientology seeks to help
humanity understand what is
broken in the world and how to
fix it. By understanding the
Eight Dynamics (more on this in

to both the physical and
spiritual realms, each individual
can achieve a spiritual
awareness that will lead to
ultimate fulfilment and
longevity. Focusing on
improving relationships and
communication, counselors offer
"auditing" to help individuals
recognize the things from their
past that are blocking the
expression of their potential.
"I love talking about Scientology." - Giovanni

promoted Dianetics as a scientific
idea, its rejection by the scientific
