Handling Life
with Scientology
By
L. Ron Hubbard
"There are two distinct divisions in Scientology. The
first is philosophic, the second is technical. Under the philosophic
heading one discovers the ways and means of forming new ways
of life and evaluating or creating standards of livingness
and beingness. Scientology concludes and demonstrates certain
truths. These truths might be considered to be the highest
common denominators of existence itself. They have the aspect
of precision observation rather than philosophic hazardings.
When treated as precision observations, many results occur.
When regarded as philosophic opinions, only more philosophy
results.
"By this knowingness alone and without processing (individual
technical application), it should be understood clearly that
a new way of life could be created or an old way of life could
be understood and better endured or altered.
"Under the technical division we have a long series of
developed processes which, applied immediately and directly
to life or an organism thereof, produce desirable changes
in the conditions of life. This division comprises Applied
Scientology or Scientology Applied Philosophy and contains
standard technology.
"I looked early and long at man to find out what methods
he used to survive, how he adapted himself to environments
in his attempt at survival, and what I found was that man
advanced to the degree that he preserved his spiritual integrity,
that he preserved his values, that he remained honest, that
he remained decent and I found that he disintegrated
or deteriorated to the degree that he abandoned these things.
"The average man is up against problems. He is asking
himself, "How can I make more money? How can I make my
wife faithful to me? How can I help my children grow up?"
These questions absorb a tremendous quantity of his energy.
But he can't do anything about it because he is so immersed
in it. So in Scientology processing he resolves these questions,
he understands what he's doing, and he turns from a man who
is simply a puzzled static being into somebody who is more
than that.
"We see governments and societies desperately trying
to help man. They are trying, however, to solve his problems
for him, and their efforts to do this have not resulted in
any great advance for man.
"The real work is to put individuals into a mental condition
where he can confront his own problems and solve them
to put him in a position where he can confront life better,
where his reaction time is better, where he can identify the
factors in his life more easily. And so he looks around, starts
solving his own problems and betters his own life. That is
an essential difference between Scientology and other efforts
to help man."
