THE PRACTICE OF SCIENTOLOGY
A DESCRIPTION OF SCIENTOLOGY TRAINING
A fundamental idea of Scientology is that increased spiritual awareness is the only factor which offers any road to increased survival and happiness.
Through auditing one becomes free. This freedom must be augmented by knowledge of how to stay free. Scientology contains the anatomy of the reactive mind in its axioms and the discipline and know-how necessary to handle and control the laws of life. The practice of Scientology, then, is composed in equal parts of auditing and training in Scientology principles which includes the technology of their application. Knowing the mechanisms by which spiritual freedom can be lost is itself a freedom and places one outside their influence.
Auditing lets one see how something happened, training teaches one why.
Therefore, because of the importance of training, one will find Scientologists studying the works of L. Ron Hubbard in any church of Scientology. If one were to look in on them, anywhere in the world, the scene would be the same:
Scientologists seated at tables read the written works of L. Ron Hubbard, dictionaries at hand. Some, wearing headphones, listen to his lectures, while others drill the principles of application — all in a precisely laid out sequence.
There are no teachers present. Instead, an ambulatory Course Supervisor moves from individual to individual, monitoring their progress, while a Course Administrator provides any needed materials. Here one sees enthusiastic people, not only assimilating data, but actually learning how to apply it.
This is Scientology training, and it is unique in the field of learning.
