                        WHAT IS DIANETICS?

"DIANETICS is defined as DIA (Greek) 'through', NOUS (Greek) 'soul'.  Dianetics
is ... WHAT THE SOUL IS DOING TO THE BODY." - L. RON HUBBARD, HCO Policy
20 September 1981 "Dianetics and Scientology Redefined."

"Dianetics is an adventure.  It is an exploration into terra incognita*, the
human mind, that vast and hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our
foreheads.  The discoveries and developments which made the formulation of
Dianetics possible occupied many years of exact research and careful testing.
This was exploration, it was also consolidation.  The trail is blazed, the
routes are sufficiently mapped for you to voyage in safety into your own mind
and recover there your full inherent potential, which is not, we now know, low
but very, very high." - L. Ron Hubbard, Dianetics

*terra incognita: an unknown land; a region or subject of which nothing is
known.

                        WHAT IS SCIENTOLOGY?

"SCIENTOLOGY addresses the thetan (spirit).  Scientology is used to increase
spiritual freedom, intelligence, ability, and produce immortality.
SCIENTOLOGY is ... THE STUDY AND HANDLING OF THE SPIRIT IN RELATIONSHIP TO
ITSELF, UNIVERSES AND OTHER LIFE." - L. Ron Hubbard, HCO Policy 20 September
1981 "Dianetics and Scientology Redefined."

SCIENTOLOGY means scio, knowing in the fullest sense of the word and logos,
study.  In itself the word means literally knowing how to know. - Scientology
Technical Dictionary

It is the science of how to change conditions.  It is the only thing which can
salvage you from sickness and eventual death.  It is the road, the way, the
bridge that leads upward and out.  And it is the ONLY science of the mind that
works.  SCIENTOLOGY is valuable.  As valuable as your life, your future and
your happiness.  And those are beyond price.  With SCIENTOLOGY alone you can
change yourself, your environment and your future.  Nothing else can do that.
Open the door to your tommorrow with the only key available to Man that fits
the real door - SCIENTOLOGY! - P. 14 The Bridge 1991
