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 Scientology is making the individual capable of living
a better life in his own estimation and with his fellows.

Although such a statement may seem simple and modest, the ramifications
are immense and embody the dream of every religion: the attainment
of complete and total rehabilitation of man's native, but long -
obscured abilities - abilities that place him at knowing cause
over matter, energy, space, time, form, thought and life.

Yet even well before one reaches this state, the changes Scientology
can bring are profound. Personal relationships can be repaired or
revitalized. Personal goals can be realized and happiness restored.
Where once there were doubts and inhibitions, there can be certainty
and self-confidence. Where once there had been unhappiness and confusion,
there can be joy and clarity.

Those who have seen Scientology at work today cannot easily close
their eyes to the results or fail to acknowledge that it does truly
work. For Scientology has taught that a man is his own immortal soul.
In Scientology, the riddle has been solved and the answer found simple.
