Integrity: Making the Right Decision
July 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
What causes people to withdraw from participation in life? A carefree child grows reserved and wary as a teenager. A successful career woman who leaves one personal relationship after the other suffers from lack of self-esteem. A retired man looks back at his life with regret over the choices he made. There is a reason for these all-too-common scenarios. They don’t “just happen,” nor are they subject to fate. L. Ron Hubbard amassed a body of research which squarely … [Read more...]
The Surprising Source of Conflicts
July 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment
It seems that people often have trouble getting along together. Families argue, neighbors come to blows, countries lob weapons at each other. Is this the way it has to be? Anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists and others say it is. Having observed a long history of Man’s quarrelsome behavior, they claim that Man has animal instincts, or that he is anti-social and violent by his very nature. In truth, Man is rather peaceful. But he can be driven, individually … [Read more...]

Consider this for a moment: In all your schooling, did anyone ever teach you how to study something? Today, people are graduating school unable to read or write at a level adequate to hold a job or deal with life. It is a huge problem.

Ron Hubbard filled this gaping hole by supplying the first and only technology of how to study. He discovered the laws on … [Read more...]

Scientology beliefs on raising children
July 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment
How to raise a happy, healthy child is not something most parents are taught. In fact, many just stumble through the entire process, albeit with the best intentions. Consequently, it is all too common to find an unhappy state of affairs in families, with constant friction between parents and children. It is not a natural state of affairs. In fact, it can be avoided entirely. L. Ron Hubbard developed many methods to bring out the best in a child—and its parents. In this course, … [Read more...]
RUMORS
July 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Webster’s dictionary 1828 defines rumor as “Flying or popular report; a current story passing from one person to another without any known authority for the truth of it.” In Webster’s 4th College Dictionary it is defined as “gossip, or a story that is not confirmed but is being discussed.” The Web has so much outstanding potential but it carries with it the potential for rumors, exactly as defined above, being carried far and wide. In 1972, L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “… a … [Read more...]
