What is the difference between Scientology® Applied Religious Philosophy and Dianetics® Spiritual Healing Technology?
Dianetics comes from the Greek dia meaning “through” and nous, “soul.” It is further defined as “what the soul is doing to the body.” Dianetics uncovers the source of unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and psychosomatic illnesses, and sets forth effective handlings for these conditions. Further research into the spiritual aspects of Dianetics led to the discovery of Scientology.
Scientology, on the other hand, is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, to universes and to other life. Through the practice of Scientology one can increase his spiritual awareness and ability and realize his own immortality.
Are Hubbard Dianetics Foundations a ‘For Profit’ Business?
No.
The Hubbard Dianetics Foundations throughout Australia, New Zealand, Oceania and in fact world wide, are all not for profit organizations existing purely to help the people of their community. They are manned by staff who are there to help and have non-profit status in Australia, New Zealand and all other countries around the world that they exist in.
Is the Dianetics Procedure hard to do?
Not at all, in fact, you can come and do a Dianetics Seminar that will have you actually doing the procedure for real in less than a half hour of study, under the guidance of a trained supervisor. Of course, like any skill, there are levels of ability and you can definitely learn how to be a professional, able to handle any situation, which would take many more hours or dedicated practice and study, but for the simple application of the technology it is fast and easy to learn the basics and dive right in.
