DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY INTRODUCTORY SERVICES
It is easy for someone new to Scientology to take his first steps on the Bridge to Total Freedom. His introduction to the religion usually comes through reading one of L. Ron Hubbard’s books and/or attending a lecture about Dianetics or Scientology given by a Scientologist at a church or mission. After realizing there are areas in his life and environment that he would like to change for the better, and that Scientology has a technology that will help him achieve this, he is usually eager to begin a service. And with this as the impetus, he finds Dianetics and Scientology introductory services which provide an accessible first step.

While the following services are described as “introductory,” their power to bring about positive spiritual benefit should not be underestimated. Each service provides much insight into the basic precepts and practices of Dianetics and Scientology and furnishes valuable data one can immediately apply to improve life — one’s own and that of others.

Dianetics and Scientology is a vast body of wisdom. It is presented in a series of gradient levels that enable one to rise in spiritual awareness and ability with certainty and stability. And like all services in Scientology, these initial ones are designed on an ideal gradient.

Introductory services are usually short in length and can be completed in a few evenings at any church or mission. Several, but by no means all, of these services are described below. While they are usually done in the order given below, this may vary according to an initial assessment which helps gauge a person’s current spiritual state. This includes testing such as a personality profile which measures ten different traits, the person’s knowledge of Scientology, what Scientology books he has read, and other factors. With the help of a Scientologist who knows exactly what part of Scientology best matches the individual’s immediate needs, he can then progress in the sequence that is right for him.

His first action before beginning any service, however, will invariably be to see the Orientation film which, as described below, shows him what he will find in a church of Scientology. The next step is usually the Success Through Communication Course which provides invaluable tools which will help him progress more effectively in everything he does in Scientology. In addition, one finds a lineup of introductory services which address specific needs which may be appropriate depending upon the initial assessment that has been done. All exist, however, to move him through the introductory area and onto and up the Bridge to Total Freedom.

If you’re interested in Dianetics and Scientology Introductory Services, contact your nearest church of Scientology.

Orientation — the Film
Orientation answers the question, “What is Scientology?” and is the film everyone sees before beginning their first service. As its title suggests, the film thoroughly orients the viewer to what happens inside a Scientology church and, in fact, shows him exactly what to expect from the moment he enters. It also provides an understanding of the Scientology religion, its purpose and the vital role it plays in society. Scientologists from many walks of life describe what Scientology means to them and relate the profoundly positive effects they have experienced through its application in their lives. By the end of this film, the viewer will have a clear understanding of his role in Scientology and of what he is aiming for.

Life Improvement Courses

The Scientology Life Improvement Courses are designed to fit the different needs of individuals based on their knowledge of Dianetics and Scientology, what books they may have read and their situation in life. These contain the basics of Scientology technology which can bring immediate improvement to a specific aspect of an individual’s existence.

The confusions of modern living require solutions. A difficulty in a relationship, a business or family situation can grow and consume far too much attention. In fact, it is these seemingly commonplace problems that often work to distract one from the more important things in life, particularly one’s spiritual growth. Each Life Improvement Course contains Scientology breakthroughs one can use to rectify specific problem areas and improve conditions. There are services addressing interpersonal relations, overcoming the ups and downs in life, personal values and integrity, understanding others, working more efficiently, marriage, raising children, and many more.

In every sense of the word, then, these are practical courses. Each is illustrated to facilitate understanding, with an emphasis on practical application. One learns the theory of basic Scientology principles relating to each area, then applies these in course room exercises until they can be applied in life.

For example, in the Life Improvement Course which deals with improving relationships, one discovers ways, based on Scientology fundamentals, to improve relationships with others. He learns the true basis of interpersonal relations, the affinity, reality and communication (ARC) triangle, and then practices the precise steps set forth in the course for improving or repairing any relationship. He learns principles of communication and their application. He learns the Third Party Law, L. Ron Hubbard’s discovery concerning the underlying cause of any conflict, and how to employ this discovery to resolve strife. Given these and other tools, he can change and improve his life. He learns things he can actually do, not only for his own benefit, but also for the benefit of others.

Life Improvement Courses are unique to Scientology. Unlike other religions, Scientology offers a practical technology about man that can be applied to actually improve conditions in life. As one applies this technology to day-to-day concerns to better himself and others, he finds he is now more able to continue his journey to higher levels of spiritual awareness and ability.

Improve your ability to communicate. It could make all the difference at home, at work, in every area of your life.

SUCCESS!

“Before this course I often felt people weren’t really listening to me. I was incapable of starting meaningful conversations with anyone I did not know well. What a waste!

“Now I’m able and willing to enter into a conversation with anybody! I have gained tools that enable me to control conversation and guide it.

“My work is more productive (I manage people). I am in better communication with my boss. My confidence is greatly increased!” — K.L.

“Now I can confidently face anybody, no matter what the situation is. The course taught me how to efficiently handle a conversation and at the same time adjust to the situation.

“The course gave me the basics I will need not only for my job but also in everyday life.” — P.F.

“Overall, I’ve gained tremendously in just knowing that I’m actually able to control and guide communications. I was totally unaware of the mechanics involved in doing this before I did this course!” — G.L.

“When I finished the first drill on the Success Through Communication Course I felt like I was more in communication with the person I was drilling with than I had been with anyone else in my entire life. This has given me the ability to confront those things in my life I need to overcome.” — J.H.

“Prior to Scientology, my wife and I had not been getting along. But with the skills I learned from the course, I communicated eye-to-eye with her for the first time in 6 months without any arguments. We are both thrilled! We’re communicating!

“And I experienced a tremendous increase in my sales (closing ratio went up five times).” — G.K.

The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course
After being introduced to either Dianetics or Scientology, people who want to know more about the mind and about the thetan’s relationship to the mind take this service. Here they learn that the human mind has an exact anatomy. Before Dianetics, this anatomy was essentially unknown because those seeking to understand the mind did so from a wholly material perspective.
The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course contains a precise description of the mind, its components, its workings and its relationship to man as a spiritual being. This extensive service includes twenty lectures by L. Ron Hubbard, detailing every aspect of the mind. Each lecture is followed by demonstrations and practicals so one gains a comprehensive understanding of such basics as the reactive mind, mental image pictures, engrams, the analytical mind, the being, understanding, the body, its nervous system and aberration. The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course imparts a real understanding of these principles, one which brings about a vast new understanding of life. This course can be done at any church of Scientology.

BOOK ONE SERVICES:
Hubbard Dianetics Seminar Those familiar with Mr. Hubbard’s Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health can experience the workability of Dianetics technology for themselves by attending a Dianetics Seminar and participating in Dianetics auditing. One need not have read the book to participate.

In so doing, one can begin to rid himself of the barriers to his confidence, well-being and success.

A Dianetics Seminar begins with a video presentation that explains basic Dianetics principles and what occurs in an auditing session. Then one reads selected portions of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health and “pairs up” with another seminar participant to practice auditing procedures. After only a few hours he will be familiar enough with Dianetics technology to audit another person or to receive auditing himself, always under the guidance of experienced seminar supervisors who are highly trained in Dianetics auditing. During the seminar one may participate in as much Dianetics auditing as he wishes and thereby gain firsthand understanding and benefits of its power.

Hubbard Dianetics Auditor Course A Hubbard Dianetics Seminar graduate is likely to want to continue co-auditing while learning more about Dianetics. If so, he will probably decide to take the Hubbard Dianetics Auditor Course, which provides the perfect way for him to sharpen his skills as a Dianetics auditor and gain more experience with, and benefit from, Dianetics auditing. This is an extensive course containing tape-recorded auditing demonstrations by L. Ron Hubbard.

Assisted by a trained and experienced Course Supervisor, individuals on the Hubbard Dianetics Auditor Course learn exactly how to deal with anything that could arise in an auditing session through hands-on application of the procedures in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. This course can be done at any church of Scientology.

Introductory Dianetics Auditing Anyone interested in experiencing Dianetics auditing, exactly as is learned on the Hubbard Dianetics Auditor Course, can receive auditing from an experienced Dianetics auditor. This is available in blocks of auditing to provide the greatest possible benefit. Just as it did in 1950, Dianetics auditing can bring about life-changing results by addressing the unwanted elements in life that hold one back. One can recognize and resolve the hidden sources of pain, nervousness, unwanted behavior patterns, psychosomatic illness, negative emotions and more. And it is available for everyone. There is no need even to have read a book or to have done a course to discover how Dianetics auditing can change one’s life. This service can be done at any church of Scientology.

BEGINNING SCIENTOLOGIST GRADUATE COURSE:
Hubbard Qualified Scientologist Course
Everyone is involved in life whether he is happy about it or not. There are, however, basic laws on the way life operates, and a knowledge of these laws can make life easier to understand and provide tools to improve conditions. This is the subject of the Hubbard Qualified Scientologist Course, the last and most wide-ranging of the introductory courses, and is usually done following the Success Through Communication Course.

This service offers a broad and thorough grounding in key Scientology principles and introduces one to Scientology auditing. It consists of six of L. Ron Hubbard’s basic books, a filmed interview with Mr. Hubbard in which he discusses how he developed Dianetics and Scientology and explains their principles, and many practical assignments that apply what has been studied to real life situations. From these practicals one can come to a certainty as to how to apply these principles rather than treating them as simply some kind of an intellectual pursuit. On this service one learns to audit basic Scientology processes and gains experience auditing others. He drills communication fundamentals and learns how to properly minister an auditing session. After drilling different auditing techniques, he then both audits another and receives auditing himself. These powerful techniques include methods to spiritually assist those suffering from illness or an accident, to make an intoxicated person sober, and processes which greatly raise one’s awareness of his past.

The Hubbard Qualified Scientologist Course gives one an excellent general understanding of what Scientology is about, and how it is applied to help others as well as oneself. It could be said that after completing this course one has “graduated” from the introductory services and is now ready to move up the Bridge towards the state of Clear, and beyond.

INTRODUCTORY AUDITING:
The surest way to understand what Scientology auditing can accomplish towards bettering an individual’s life is to go to a Scientology church or mission and actually experience an auditing session with a highly trained auditor. In fact, this is a vital step for new preclears.

In charting the route to higher spiritual states, L. Ron Hubbard developed processes for taking one to the next higher level of awareness. Many of these processes are designed specifically for the person just beginning auditing. There are hundreds of processes which can be used to introduce one to what auditing is and demonstrate the gains available from it. These are processes that deal, among other things, with increasing communication abilities, raising awareness, expanding affinity and willingness to assume responsibility, and even resolving the causes of unhappiness rooted in failures to adhere to a moral code or helping someone become able to learn. Introductory auditing can produce remarkable changes in conditions and increase spiritual awareness.

There are also many other kinds of introductory auditing, including:

Group Processing. Here, an auditor increases the ability of individuals being audited as part of a group. Group Processing improves a person’s alertness and awareness of the environment, as well as his communication. Some individuals have reported spectacular wins including increased havingness and even exteriorization. For more than four decades Scientologists — newcomers and old-timers alike — have enjoyed the excitement, wins and gains of Group Processing sessions, and, in fact, the sheer fun of them.

Assists. These are actions that are taken to assist the spirit to deal with trauma, losses or upsets, or confront physical difficulties; while not intended to replace medical treatment, they do much to help alleviate physical pain and discomfort.

To learn how to help others with assists or to receive assists contact The nearest Church of Scientology.

Marriage counseling. This addresses marital problems and, through the application of Scientology technology, helps couples create healthy marriages based on trust.

The fact that these services are introductory in no way diminishes their precision or their potential for providing insight into life. In fact, since these services provide an individual with his first spiritual gains from auditing, they often end up as among the most memorable services he will ever experience.

There are also other services an individual can do to begin his Scientology journey if, for example, he has difficulties with study or comprehension, or if he has a history of extensive drug use. These services all have the objective of assisting one to take his first steps onto the Bridge and continue on the path to total freedom.

Life does not have to be an unhappy plight, but one would be hard pressed to find a person who has not had his share of knocks or who cannot name some aspect of life he would wish to improve. Millions have found the answers on introductory services at a Scientology church or mission. And, armed with these answers, they are ready to continue up the Bridge to Total Freedom.
