Some Context on Scientology's Origins and Development

No matter how long or short your involvement with Scientology has been, a familiarity with the faith's origins and early development is always welcome. You can use this to see if it's worth your time and effort.


L. Ron Hubbard presided over the Church of Scientology in its formative years. Crucial initiatives for the Church's growth were outlined. The Church eventually amassed vast wealth. Once Hubbard left in 1966, his son David Miscavige took over as Church leader in 1986. Man, according to Scientology, is fundamentally spiritual. Accounting is a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith. To conduct an audit, it is necessary to pose clear and precise questions; auditors do not evaluate but rather pose questions.


A central tenet of Scientology is that human potential is unlimited and that one's knowledge and wisdom continue after death. According to Hubbard's theory, we are descendants of people who lived on Venus 74 trillion years ago and developed what we know as human consciousness. Scientology teaches its adherents to better themselves by reading and implementing Hubbard's writings.


Scientology's tenets can offer a refreshing new perspective when applied to one's daily life. Applying even a few strategies can make all the difference when dealing with difficult people, such as irritable kids, rigid bosses, or angry friends.


Scientology's tenets can be broken down into two camps: those that are obvious to everyone and those that must be practised individually. The most simple to recall and describe are the self-evident ones. The ARC triangle is a good example of a diagram that can be used to show the interplay of ideas. Knowledge, Responsibility, and Control are all interconnected, as depicted by the triangle.


Scientology has always been involved in various charitable causes and initiatives as a religion. The Scientology community has contributed to disaster relief, education, and the fight against drugs. The results of these actions have been positive. The Scientology organization held a silent auction at their charity gala to raise money for their future endeavours. In Australia, the Church hosts an annual street festival in addition to its humanitarian efforts.


The good works of Scientology have reached all corners of the world. Specifically, in December, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake struck Croatia, and churches affiliated with the Church of Scientology responded. The churches not only assisted earthquake victims but also participated in the reconstruction of Zagreb and Sisak-Moslavina County. Also, the Church hosted a charity fete at its main building to help the community.


Inmates can benefit greatly from the information presented in the Criminon program, designed with that goal. Education programs are provided in various correctional institutions and juvenile detention centres around the globe. These initiatives cover a wide range of topics, from drug awareness training to crime prevention. It's common knowledge that the United States cannot keep up with the escalating number of people locked up behind bars. As a result, 100 adults out of every 100 are currently behind bars. While this may be disappointing to the general public, it's great for the people who are a part of the program. The best part is that Criminon does not have to worry about a budget, and its volunteers are always eager to help.


Despite Scientology's official status in Australia, the Church has failed to attract many new followers. This could be because of hostility from authorities or systematic bias against its constituents. In addition, allegations of sexual misconduct and other potentially harmful behaviour have surfaced. The Church of Scientology has been the target of extensive media criticism. High-profile campaigns on its behalf have prompted petitions, protests, and parliamentary debates. The goal of these campaigns has been to increase general acceptance. The company's reputation may be affected by its fundamental principles.


Members of the Church of Scientology have been accused of being hostile toward their detractors. Because of this, people no longer feel like they can trust the company. As for the media, the Church has been accused of being biased and of engaging in aggressive lobbying. Moreover, the Church has been charged with resorting to violent methods to subdue and terrorize its opponents.


Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission looked into Scientology complaints back in 1998. They discovered Scientology's use of violent methods to intimidate and frighten members of the public. Furthermore, they were said to have invested heavily in "expensive courses" to address their homosexual tendencies.
