1.2 What is Scientology about?
Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology provides *exact*
principles and practical technology for improving self-
confidence, intelligence and ability. Scientology does
not require faith or belief -- one can apply the
principles and see for oneself if they work and are true.
Scientology addresses the spirit -- not simply the body
or mind -- and is therefore completely apart from
materialistic philosophies which hold that man is a
product of his environment, or his genes.
Scientology is a religion by its basic tenets, practice,
historical background and by the definition of the word
'religion' itself. It is recognized as such by courts in
country after country around the world, including the
highest courts in the United States, Australia, Germany,
Sweden, Italy and many others.
All denominations are welcome in Scientology.
Scientology is a *route*, a way, rather than a
dissertation or an assertive body of knowledge.
Through its drills and studies one may find the truth for
oneself. It is the only thing that can show you who *you*
really are.
The technology is therefore not expounded as something to
believe but something to *do*.
