They teach that people can mistakenly solvetheir problems by thinking only of their ownpersonal interests and overlook or ignore howtheir acts affect others. This is what createsour interpersonal strife and problems.
• Basic BeliefsScientology believes in increasing the abilityand intelligence of the individual so he or she
can improve his own life, overcome thosefactors that hold him down, and solve his orher own problems. What's more, once onehas accomplished this he or she naturallystarts to reach out to help his family, friendsand society.
• Doctrinal Belief’s Over the last century or so the materialisticidea that man is a mere animal similar to amonkey, cat, dog, lion, rat etc has taken hold.
Scientology teaches that this idea is patentlyfalse, unworkable, and acts as a barrier to uscoming to an understanding of life.
• Doctrinal Belief’s Scientology seems to directly address ourspiritual nature with answers to the age-oldquestions — Who am I? What do I consist of?Where do I come from? Where am I going?It is this spiritual enlightenment that leads tothe personal understanding of oneself, andour relationship to the Universe.
L. Ron Hubbard being well studied in theoccult I have little to no doubt that Hubbard'sterm thetan is pronounced to sound likesomeone with a lisped saying the name Satan
One phenomenon of the thetan, as taught byHubbard, is exteriorization.
Exteriorization is the ability of the thetan toleave the body and exist independent of theflesh. Exteriorized, the individual can seewithout the body's eyes, hear without thebody's ears and feel without the body's hands.
In Short the thetan is our being our life whichlives forever in or out of the body.
As Christians what we call a soul is the closestthing we have that can be compared to whatthey call the Thetan. Be clear though they arenot the same, the soul is Biblical. The Thetanis pure satanism.
