Scientology Beliefs  
JUST THE FACTS 

Tags: scientology, celebrities, religion

Scientology is a body of teachings and related techniques developed by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard began Scientology in 1952 as a self-help philosophy, an outgrowth of his earlier self-help system, Dianetics, and later described it as a new religion. Here are some of the beliefs associated with Scientology.

	Evidence is not required for a belief. You can believe anything you like.
	Belief in Deity: There exists a life energy or force (Theta) beyond and within all.
	Incarnations: There are no particular human incarnations of God, as the universal life force (Theta) is inherent in all. All humans are immortal spiritual beings (thetans) capable of realizing a nearly godlike state through Scientology practices.
	Origin of Universe and Life: All is manifestation of the universal spirit, which is all that actually exists.
	After Death: Rebirths continue until one consciously confronts all pre-birth, current-life, and previous-life traumas and realizes one's true nature as a "thetan," immortal spirit--transcending matter, energy, space, and time.
	Why Evil?: Painful experiences and harmful acts in one's prebirth, current, and past lives become imprinted in the reactive mind and lead to irrational behavior.
	Salvation: The ultimate goal is to realize one's true nature as an immortal spirit, a thetan.
	Suffering: Occurs as part of the spirit's entrapment here in the physical universe.
	Contemporary Issues: Favors the use of their methodology for spiritual/mental healing over the use of conventional treatment.
