Many falsehoods and inaccurate statements regarding several aspects
of the religion of Scientology have been observed on ars.
The purpose of this message is to give you a sample of the true data
from the book 'What is Scientology?' and show you where you can look
to get the full contents of this book.

                         -------------

The goal of Dianetics is a new state for the individual, sought throughout
history but never attainable before Dianetics. This state is called
"Clear."  A Clear is a person who no longer has his own reactive
mind and therefore suffers none of the ill effects that the reactive
mind can cause.

The Clear has no engrams which, when restimulated, throw out the
correctness of his computations by entering hidden and false data.

Becoming Clear strengthens a person's native individuality and creativity
and does not in any way diminish these attributes. A Clear is free
with his emotions. He can think for himself. He can experience life
unencumbered by inhibitions reactively dictated by past engrams.
Artistry, personal force and individual character are all residual
in the basic personality of the person, not the reactive mind.

Clears are self-confident, happy and generally successful in
both careers and interpersonal relationships. It is a highly desirable
state for any individual and is attainable by virtually anyone. In
fact, thousands upon thousands of people have achieved the state
of Clear, a living tribute to the workability of L. Ron Hubbard's
discoveries and the technology he developed.


The Attributes of Clear

Clear is a state that has never before been attainable in man's history.
A Clear possesses attributes, fundamental and inherent but not always
available in an uncleared state, which have not been suspected of
man and are not included in past discussions of his abilities and
behavior.

The Clear is:

Freed from active or potential psychosomatic illness or aberration
Self-determined
Vigorous and persistent
Unrepressed
Able to perceive, recall, imagine, create and compute at a level
high above the norm
Stable mentally
Free with his emotion
Able to enjoy life
Freer from accidents
Healthier
Able to reason swiftly
Able to react quickly


Happiness is important. The ability to arrange life and the environment
so that living can be better enjoyed, the ability to tolerate the
foibles of one's fellow humans, the ability to see the true factors
in a situation and resolve problems of living with accuracy, the
ability to accept and execute responsibility, these things are important.
Life is not much worth living if it cannot be enjoyed. The Clear
enjoys living to a very full extent. He can stand up to situations
which, before he was cleared, would have reduced him to shambles.
The ability to live well and fully and enjoy that living is the gift
of Clear.
