   and abilities to the fullest. If you know people who are
   doing well but have never heard of Scientology, the
   question is: "Could they be doing better?"
   6.17 Does one have to believe in Scientology?
   No. One is not expected to believe in Scientology. One is
   only expected to study and apply the data and see for
   himself if it works for him. To quote L. Ron Hubbard,
   "Anything that isn't true for you when you study it
   carefully isn't true."
   6.18 Why do Scientologists sometimes seem so intent on what
   they are doing?
   If you had a chance to change yourself and civilization
   so greatly, you would be interested as well.
   6.19 What do the terms 'preclear', 'student' and 'auditor'
   mean?
   A 'preclear' is someone who is receiving Scientology or
   Dianetics auditing on his way to becoming Clear. Through
   auditing he is finding out more about himself and life.
   A 'student' is one who reads in detail in order to learn
   and then apply the materials he has studied. One studies
   Scientology for itself and uses it exactly as stated,
   then forms his own conclusions as to whether or not the
   tenets he has assimilated are correct and workable.
   An 'auditor' is a Dianetics or Scientology practitioner
   trained in the technology of auditing. 'Auditor' means
   "one who listens" (from the Latin word 'audire'). An
   auditor listens and computes, applying standard
   technology to preclears to help them achieve the
   abilities as stated on the Classification, Gradation and
   Awareness Chart. An auditor's job is to ask the preclear
   to look, and get him to do so.
   6.20 What is the E-Meter and how does it work?
   E-Meter is a shortened term for 'electropsychometer'. It
   is a religious artifact used as a spiritual guide in
   auditing. It is for use only by a Scientology minister or
   a Scientology minister-in-training to help the preclear
   locate and confront areas of spiritual upset.
   In itself, the E-Meter does nothing. It is an electronic
   instrument that measures mental state and change of state
   in individuals and assists the precision and speed of
   auditing. The E-Meter is not intended or effective for
   the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease.
   The book _Understanding the E-Meter_ offers a simple
   explanation of how the E-Meter works and what it actually
   measures. In order to understand what the E-Meter does,
   it is necessary to understand some basic Scientology
   concepts.
   There are three basic parts of man -- mind, body and
   thetan. The thetan is an immortal spiritual being -- the
   individual himself. He (the thetan) inhabits a body,
   which is a carbon-oxygen machine. He has a mind, which is
   a collection of mental image pictures he has created.
   These pictures have weight and mass and can impinge on
   the person when he is emotionally upset.
   This is what makes the E-Meter read -- the impingement of
   such pictures against the body.
   The E-Meter puts a very small electrical current
   (approximately one and a half volts) through the body.
   This is about the same amount of current as in the
   average battery-powered wristwatch.
   When a person thinks a thought, looks at a picture, re
   experiences an incident or when he shifts some part of
   the pictures in his mind, he is moving and changing
   actual mental mass and energy. These changes in the
   person's mind affect the tiny flow of electrical energy
   generated by the E-Meter, which causes the needle on its
   dial to move.
   The E-Meter thus measures changes that are caused by the
   spiritual being in his own mind (i.e., the movement of
   mental masses around him) and in this capacity, it is a
   religious artifact.
   The E-Meter is used to help the individual who is being
   audited uncover truth. By locating areas of mental or
   spiritual trauma, the E-Meter helps both the auditor and
   the preclear locate exactly what to address in auditing.
   7. THE ORGANIZATIONS OF SCIENTOLOGY
   7.1 Scientology is a philosophy. Why does it need to be
   organized?
   Scientology is an *applied* religious philosophy.
   Therefore organization is needed to make the technology
   available and teach people to apply it.
   7.2 How many people work in a Scientology church?
   The number of staff varies from church to church. Small
   churches may have 20 and large ones over 500.
   7.3 How is Scientology organized?
   There is a "mother church" which is the Church of
   Scientology International. It is headquartered in Los
   Angeles. It is responsible for the ecclesiastical
   supervision of the rest of the Scientology churches
   around the world, which are organized in a hierarchical
   structure not dissimilar to that of the Catholic Church.
   (For more information about the structure of the Church,
   see Part 5 [of _What is Scientology?_].)
   7.4 Where are Scientology churches located?
   Scientology churches and missions exist all over the
   world. There are a great many churches and far more
   missions in various countries.
   7.5 What does a Scientology church or mission actually do?
   The main activities of Scientology churches and missions
   are training Scientology ministers and providing
   auditing. The church also conducts Sunday services,
   weddings, funerals and christenings and delivers other
   chaplain services. The church helps the individual become
   more able to help himself and to help others.This is done
   by training and auditing.
   7.6 What is the Office of Special Affairs?
   The Office of Special Affairs (OSA) deals with legal
   affairs for the Church. It also publishes the facts about
   the social betterment works of Scientology, informing the
   government, the media, other religions and other groups
   with interests similar to those of the Church. OSA also
   oversees the social reform programs of the Church, among
   which are those that expose and effectively handle
   violations of individual and human rights.
   7.7 What is the Flag Service Organization?
   The Flag Service Organization (FSO), often referred to as
   "Flag," is located in Clearwater, Florida [USA]. It
   delivers advanced spiritual training and auditing. It
   retains its name from the days when it used to operate
   from the flagship 'Apollo', ("Flag" in nautical terms
   means "the flagship" or the vessel which gives orders to
   others.)
   7.8 What is the Flag Ship Service Organization?
   The Flag Ship Service Organization is located aboard the
   450-foot ship called the 'Freewinds', and is an advanced
   religious retreat that delivers the level of auditing
   called New OT VIII and specialized training to
   Scientologists.
   7.9 What is the Sea Organization?
   The Sea Organization (commonly referred to as the Sea
   Org) is a confraternal organization existing within the
   formalized structure of the Church. It is composed of the
   most dedicated Scientology staff who have decided to
   devote their lives to the delivery and expansion of
   Scientology.
   The Sea Organization has no separate corporate structure
   or identity and its members work for various different
   churches of Scientology and are subject, as are all other
   employees of that church, to the orders and directions of
   the board of directors.
   The Sea Org was established in 1967 and once operated
   from a number of ships. It was set up to help L. Ron
   Hubbard with research of earlier civilizations and to
   carry out supervision of Church organizations around the
   world to keep Scientology expanding. It is also entrusted
   to deliver the advanced services of Scientology.
   The Sea Organization retains its name in celebration of
   the fact that the Founder's life was majorly connected
   with the sea. It exists to help keep Scientology working.
   7.10 Is it true that people in the Sea Org sign a billion-year
   contract?
   Yes, they do. It is a symbolic document which, similar to
   vows of dedication in other faiths and orders, serves to
   signify an individual's eternal commitment to the goals,
   purposes and principles of the Scientology religion. Sea
   Org members have dedicated their lives to working toward
   these ends and toward a world without war, drugs, crime
   and illiteracy.
   7.11 Why does Scientology have ministers? Are all
   Scientologists ministers?
   The Church of Scientology has ministers to deliver
   Scientology religious services to church parishioners.
   Only those who specifically enroll in and graduate from
   the Scientology Minister's Course and its prerequisites,
   and fulfill the requirements for ordination are
   Scientology ministers. All Scientology auditors are
   required to become ordained ministers; however, they are
   allowed to audit as ministerial students while fulfilling
   their ordination requirements.
   7.12 What are field staff members?
   Field staff members are individual Scientologists who
   disseminate Scientology, provide books to interested
   friends, family members and associates and introduce (or
   select) people to the Church. They are appointed by their
   nearest Scientology organization. Because they have had
   gains from Dianetics and Scientology themselves, they
   naturally want to share it with others.
   7.13 Why is everything copyrighted and trademarked in
   Scientology?
   Scientology and Dianetics are technologies that work if
   applied exactly. If they are altered, the results will
   not be uniform.
   For this reason, the technology is copyrighted and the
   words and symbols which represent the technology are
   trademarked. This way, nobody can misrepresent something
   as standard Scientology or Dianetics that really isn't.
   In fact many persons have tried to rip off and profit
   from the technologies of Dianetics and Scientology. The
   subjects were developed for spiritual salvation, not for
   anyone's personal enrichment. Through ownership of the
   trademarks and copyrights, such ill-intentioned actions
   are prevented by the Church.
   [7.14 Does the IRS recognize Church organizations as non-profit
   charitable organizations?]
   [Yes, in the Fall of 1993, upon finishing an extensive in
   vestigation of the Church's organizations and their fi
   nances, the IRS ruled that the Church of Scientology and
   its organizations were non-profit charitable organizations
   and therefore eligible for tax exempt status in the United
   States.]
   8. CHURCH FUNDING
   8.1 Why do Scientologists make donations?
   Some churches have a system of tithes, others require
   their members to pay for pew rentals, religious
   ceremonies and services. In the Church of Scientology,
   parishioners make donations for auditing or training they
   wish to take. These contributions by Scientologists are
   the primary source of financial support for the Church
   and fund all the community programs and social betterment
   activities of Scientology. Scientologists are not
   required to tithe or make other donations.
   Ideally, Dianetics and Scientology services would be
   free, and all Scientologists wish they were. But those
   are not the realities of life. When one considers the
   cost of delivering even one hour of auditing, requiring
   extensively trained specialists, and the overhead costs
   of maintaining church premises, the necessity of
   donations becomes clear.
   The donation system in Scientology is the most equitable
   as those who use the facilities of the Church are the
   ones who most directly contribute to its upkeep and
   continued existence. Naturally, no donation is expected
   from those not receiving auditing or training. And church
   doors are always open to those who wish to learn more
   about the philosophy of Scientology, be they parishioners
   or not. There are tape plays of L. Ron Hubbard's
   lectures, introductory lectures, books available, people
   to discuss questions with, and of course the more
   traditional church activities -- Sunday service, sermons,
   weddings, christenings, funerals -- all of which are
   provided without any donation necessary.
   Scientology does not have hundreds of years of
   accumulated wealth and property like other religions -
   it must make its way in the world according to the
   economics of today's society.
   Scientologists' donations keep the Church alive and
   functioning, fund its widespread social reform programs,
   make Scientology known to people who may otherwise never
   have the opportunity to avail themselves of it, and help
   create a safe and pleasant environment for everyone.
   8.2 Why does one have to make donations to separate
   organizations for their services?
   Scientology churches and missions are separate
   corporations and have separate financial records. The
   donations that go to each church for services delivered
   by that church must be separately banked and accurate
   records kept in alignment with the accounting procedures
   and laws in each country.
   8.3 What about those who cannot afford to make donations for
   services?
   There is a Free Scientology Center in churches of
   Scientology where those who cannot afford the donations
   can receive free auditing from ministerial students.
   Many Scientology services are free and the knowledge is
   free to all men. There are also books, books, books and
   free public lectures, Sunday services and other religious
   services for which there is no cost. Books can be
   obtained in the local area either by going to a church of
   Scientology, a public bookstore or local library.
   But it's interesting that once a person becomes more
   causative through the application of Scientology
   technology in his life, he does not usually need or want
   free services for very long. He becomes capable of
   holding a good job and thereby able to exchange for the
   services he wants.
   Ministers-in-training can receive free auditing from
   other students while they are doing their training.
   8.4 Is the Church profit-making?
   No. Scientology churches are nonprofit organizations, as
   the donations all go back into the support and expansion
   of the Church.
   8.5 How much does it cost to go Clear?
   The cost varies from individual to individual depending
   on which route to Clear one takes.
   One route is to pay for professional auditing and get
   audited all the way up to Clear. The preferred route,
   however, is to get trained as an auditor and co-audit
   with another Scientology student. The co-auditing route
   to Clear requires far less donations than professional
   auditing plus one helps another to progress. As
   professional auditing is much more expensive for the
   organization to deliver (requiring several staff to
   service one parishioner) the donations are necessarily
   higher. Training donation rates are much more economical
   and an incentive for persons to train while they co-audit
   without cost to the state of Clear.
   No matter which route one chooses to achieve the state of
   Clear, all who have attained it express the pricelessness
   of the increased spiritual freedom they have achieved.
   8.6 How well paid are Scientology staff?
   The pay varies from church to church and from time to
   time. Staff are paid in proportion to the amount of
   donations received by their individual organizations.
   Thus, staff members are in control of how much they make
   by virtue of how well they perform individually on their
   own jobs.
   In any event, Scientology staff aren't motivated by money
   and in no instance anywhere in the church structure is
   pay exorbitant. Scientology staff are motivated by a
   desire to help, not get rich.
   [8.6 Are donations made to the Church of Scientology tax
   deductible in the United States?]
   [Yes, according to a 1993 decision by the IRS, donations
   of any kind made to the Church of Scientology (including
   auditing and training donations), are tax deductible in
   the United States.]
   9. SCIENTOLOGY BOOKS
   9.1 What is the best book for a beginning Scientologist to
   read?
   _Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health_ which is
   the best-selling self-help book of all time, is the book
   recommended for beginners who are interested in the mind
   and how it works. This book has been a best-seller for
   over forty years.
   In 1977, 'Publishers Weekly' called _Dianetics: The
   Modern Science of Mental Health_ "perhaps the
   best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West."
   In 1988, 'Publishers Weekly' awarded _Dianetics_ its
   prestigious "Century Award" for more than 100 weeks on
   its best-seller list, officially designating it the No.
   1 best-selling self-help book of all time.
   If a person is more interested in starting with a broad
   summary of L. Ron Hubbard's research and findings about
   man as a spiritual being and basic principles of life,
   the first recommended book is _Scientology: The
   Fundamentals of Thought_. (Chapter 41 [of _What is
   Scientology?_] gives a more detailed explanation of the
   books available and suggested course of reading.)
   9.2 Are the books difficult to understand?
   Not at all. The books are quite easy to understand.
   Depending on what aspect of Scientology and Dianetics you
   are most interested in, any church Bookstore Officer can
   recommend the best sequence in which the books should be
   read.
   9.3 Where can L. Ron Hubbard's books be purchased?
   All of his books are available at missions and churches
   of Scientology. Many of his books are also available in
   popular bookstores and in libraries in cities all over
   the world.

   compiled from his works, and are just a few of the dozens
   and dozens of Scientology and Dianetics books available
   at churches of Scientology.
   9.5 How can one get happiness out of a book?
   The key to happiness is knowledge. Scientology and
   Dianetics books contain knowledge one can actually apply
   in life. Being able to accomplish these improvements
   definitely makes people happier.
   10. DIANETICS
   10.1 What is Dianetics?
   L. Ron Hubbard discovered the single source of stress,
   worry, self-doubt and psychosomatic illness -- the
   reactive mind. In his book _Dianetics: The Modern Science
   of Mental Health_ he described the reactive mind in
   detail and laid out a simple, practical, easily taught
   technology to overcome it and reach the state of Clear.
   Dianetics (which means "through soul") is that
   technology.
   10.2 What is the mind? Where is the mind?
   The mind is basically a communication and control system
   between the thetan -- the spiritual being that is the
   person himself -- and his environment. It is composed of
   mental image pictures which are recordings of past
   experiences.
   The individual uses his mind to pose and resolve problems
   related to survival and to direct his efforts according
   to these solutions.
   10.3 What is the difference between the analytical mind and the
   reactive mind?
   The analytical mind is the conscious, aware mind which
   thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves
   problems. The reactive mind is the portion of a person's
   mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis,
   which is not under his volitional control, and which
   exerts force and the power of command over his awareness,
   purposes, thoughts, body and actions.
   10.4 What is the difference between Scientology and Dianetics?
   Dianetics is a technology which uncovers the source of
   unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and
   psychosomatic illnesses, and which sets forth effective
   handlings for these conditions.
   'Dianetics' comes from the Greek 'dia' meaning "through"
   and 'nous', "soul." It is further defined as "what
   the soul is doing to the body."
   'Scientology' is the study and handling of the spirit in
   relationship to itself, universes and other life. It is
   used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence and
   ability and to enable a person to realize his own
   immortality.
   Dianetics and Scientology are *separate* subjects, but
   the delivery of each has in common certain tools like the
   E-Meter and the basic rules of auditing.

   11. SCIENTOLOGY AND DIANETICS COURSES
   11.1 What training should a person take first?
   The first action a person should take in his Scientology
   training is to read a book, such as _Dianetics: The
   Modern Science of Mental Health_ or _Scientology: The
   Fundamentals of Thought_. He can study these on an
   extension course which is designed to help people
   understand the basic fundamentals of L. Ron Hubbard's
   books and find out about Scientology for themselves. The
   lessons in the course are completed and mailed in to the
   Extension Course Supervisor who grades them and informs
   the student by return mail what his grade is and any
   parts of the book he may have misunderstood.
   After completing a book or extension course, he should go
   into a church and see one of the Public Division
   Registrars who can help him decide which course he should
   do next. There are many different services available. For
   instance, many Life Improvement Courses exist, on such
   subjects as marriage, children, work, relationships with
   others and personal integrity. These help a person move
   from effect to cause in a specific area of life. Or there
   is the Hubbard Dianetics Seminar which utilizes Dianetics
   auditing techniques based on _Dianetics: The Modern
   Science of Mental Health_, providing as much Dianetics
   auditing to a person as he wants and giving him
   experience applying Dianetics to another. There is also
   the Success Through Communication Course which teaches
   the basic communication skills one needs to succeed in
   social or other situations.
   Factually, it is best to talk to someone to find out
   which of the many courses available is addressed most
   directly to what one wants to handle or improve in life.
   11.2 What does one get out of Scientology and Dianetics
   courses?
   Training gives a person the knowledge and tools to handle
   life. A basic datum in Scientology is that what one
   learns is only as valuable as it can be applied, and as
   it helps one do better in life. This is why Scientology
   is correctly called an *applied* religious philosophy.
   The information and technology a person learns is not
   just to increase his understanding (although it will
   definitely do that as well), but it is for USE.
   Although many Scientologists become practicing
   Scientology ministers, many others simply use the data in
   their everyday lives, on the job, and with their friends
   and family members. They report that life becomes more
   confrontable, their abilities increase and they are
   happier because they are winning in the game of life.
   11.3 How are Scientology and Dianetics training different from
   studying philosophy or other religions?
   The major difference is that Scientology and Dianetics
   training give one *tools* to use in life. Whereas
   studying other philosophies or religions may provide
   information that is interesting, only in Scientology does
   the individual get the exact tools he needs to change and
   improve conditions in his life.
   11.4 Should I get my auditing before I get trained?
   L. Ron Hubbard has written many times about the fact that
   50 percent of one's gains are from training and 50
   percent are from auditing. It is actually impossible to
   successfully make it through the upper processing levels
   of Scientology without also being trained. Therefore, to
   get the most from Scientology, one progresses in his
   training simultaneously with or at a comparable rate to
   his progress in auditing.
   11.5 When can I take Scientology courses?
   Most churches of Scientology are open from 9:00 in the
   morning until 10:30 at night weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to
   6:00 p.m. on weekends. Several different course schedules
   are offered within these hours.
   11.6 How are Scientology courses run?
   Scientology training is unique. Each course is done by
   following a checksheet. A checksheet is a list of
   materials, divided into sections, that lay out the theory
   and practical steps which, when completed, lead one to a
   study completion. The items contained on the checksheet,
   such as books, recorded lectures and other written
   materials, add up to the required knowledge of the
   subject. Each student moves through his checksheet at his
   own rate. This ensures nobody is ever held back by slower
   students, and no one is under pressure from faster
   students. A trained Course Supervisor is always available
   to help the student, to refer him to the exact mate
   rials, to answer his questions and to ensure he is
   applying standard study technology to gain the full
   benefits from his studies.
   11.7 When do I actually gain experience in auditing others?
   Every major training course in Scientology is followed by
   an internship. This is a period of auditing others under
   the supervision of technical experts. In this way, an
   auditor's skills are honed and polished to a very high
   level of proficiency.
   11.8 When can I take the Minister's Course?
   This course can be studied by any Scientologist who is
   training in Scientology or Dianetics. The course provides
   an appreciation of the world's great religions, the
   religious background and philosophy of Scientology, the
   ethical codes of Scientology and the ceremonies of the
   Church. One also learns to deliver services and carry out
   basic ministerial duties.
   11.9 How long do courses take?
   Each course takes as long as it takes -- since the
   student goes through each course at his own pace, he
   regulates his own progress. How long it takes depends on
   how diligently he applies study technology and how
   honestly he completes each item on his checksheet before
   proceeding to the next. The length of each course will
   also depend on how many hours he studies per week. On the
   average, Scientology courses take anywhere from a few
   days (for most introductory courses) to several months
   (for more advanced training).
   Introductory services are designed to take one week at
   2.5 hours a day. Academy training to become an auditor is
   generally two weeks, at forty hours a week, for each
   individual level.
   The required time to complete the more advanced courses
   is quite extensive. The Saint Hill Special Briefing
   Course, which is a chronological study of Scientology and
   Dianetics from 1948 to the present, takes approximately
   one year, at forty hours a week. This course gives the
   Scientologist the entire philosophic and technical
   development of the subject, and is the most extensive
   training course in Scientology.
   Church staff ensure that auditors are professionally and
   thoroughly trained so that they can achieve the best
   results with their preclears.
   11.10 Are Scientology Course Supervisors university trained?
   According to demographic studies, a high proportion of
   Scientologists have graduated from college or university
   studies. However, this is not a prerequisite for becoming
   a Scientology Course Supervisor.
   In Scientology there is a very precise technology of how
   to supervise and successfully help students through their
   courses. All Scientology Course Supervisors are trained
   in this technology to ensure that students get the most
   from their training.
