contribute to family life, not just be "seen and not

heard" as the old saying goes. Children are spiritual

beings, and as such they need to exchange with those

around them in order to thrive and live productive, happy

lives. For more information on handling children, the

book _Child Dianetics_ and the course "How to Be a

Successful Parent" are recommended.

Most children raised in good Scientology homes are above

average in ability and quickly begin to understand how

and why people act as they do. Life thus becomes a lot

safer and happier for them.

4.18 Can one make up his own mind about Scientology?

One can and indeed one should. Scientology enables you to

think for yourself. There is no purpose served in

studying Scientology because someone else wants you to.

But if you've taken a good look at your life and have

decided that you want to make it better, the best thing

is to start and find out for yourself what Scientology

can do for you. One should read one of the basic books by

L. Ron Hubbard, such as _Dianetics: The Modern Science of

Mental Health_ or _Scientology: The Fundamentals of

Thought_.

What is real in Scientology for you is what you find in

it that is real for you.

4.19 What is the Scientology cross?

It is an eight-pointed cross representing the eight parts

or dynamics of life through which each individual is

striving to survive. These parts are: the urge toward

existence as self, as an individual; the urge to survive

through creativity, including the family unit and the

rearing of children; the urge to survive through a group

of individuals or as a group; the urge toward survival

through all mankind and as all mankind; the urge to

survive as life forms and with the help of life forms

such as animals, birds, insects, fish and vegetation; the

urge to survive of the physical universe, by the physical

universe itself and with the help of the physical

universe and each one of its component parts; the urge to

survive as spiritual beings or the urge for life itself

to survive; the urge toward existence as infinity. To be

able to live happily with respect to each of these

spheres of existence is symbolized by the Scientology

cross.

As a matter of interest, the cross as a symbol predates

Christianity.

4.20 What religious holidays do Scientologists celebrate?

Scientologists celebrate several major holidays annually.

These include the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard (March 13);

the date marking the initial publication of _Dianetics_

(May 9); Auditor's Day, in honor of all auditors (second

Sunday in September); and the International Association

of Scientologists Anniversary, to mark the founding of

this organization which unites, supports and protects the

Scientology religion and Scientologists in all parts of

the world (October 7).

Additionally, each local country or area may observe its

own significant dates, such as the founding of the church

in its area or the opening of the first Dianetics or

Scientology organization in that country. Members of the

Church also observe traditional religious holidays such

as Christmas.

5. SCIENTOLOGY'S FOUNDER

5.1 Is L. Ron Hubbard still alive?

No. L. Ron Hubbard passed away on January 24, 1986, but

he remains with us in spirit and through the legacy of

his technology and its continual application around the

globe.

5.2 Who was L. Ron Hubbard?

L. Ron Hubbard is the Founder of Dianetics and

Scientology and the author of its scriptures. His

research on the mind and life is recorded in the tens of

millions of words on the subject of the human spirit

which comprise Dianetics and Scientology philosophy. His

works cover subjects as diverse as drug rehabilitation,

education, marriage and family, success at work,

administration, art and many other aspects of life.

His best-selling self-help book _Dianetics: The Modern

Science of Mental Health_ alone has sold millions and

millions of copies and has continued to appear on the New

York Times and other best-seller lists around the world

over four decades after its original publication.

Testimony to the applicability and workability of his

discoveries are the millions of happy and successful

people and the hundreds of Dianetics and Scientology

churches, missions and groups internationally.

L. Ron Hubbard dedicated his life to helping others. He

saw that times needed to change, and he created a

workable technology so that needed changes could occur

for millions of people. He departed his body on January

24, 1986 leaving with us his life's work which is

continued today through the application of his

discoveries which help millions around the world.

5.3 What was L. Ron Hubbard's role in the Church?

L. Ron Hubbard founded the Scientology philosophy. A

group of Scientologists then formed the first Church of

Scientology in Los Angeles in 1954.

Mr. Hubbard ran the early Dianetics and Scientology

organizations until 1966, when he retired from running

them on a day-to-day basis and turned this function over

to Scientology Church executives. He continued to take an

interest in the Church's expansion and advised on

administrative matters when specifically asked for

advice, but he mainly spent his time researching the

upper levels of Scientology and codifying the technology.

5.4 Has L. Ron Hubbard's death affected the Church?

L. Ron Hubbard recorded the results of all his research

in writing, on film or in taped lectures so that the

technology would be preserved. As a result, Scientology

has continued to expand, and its future survival is

assured.

All great religious leaders of the past have died. Their

work flourishes. Men die. Wisdom and ideas do not.

5.5 How did L. Ron Hubbard rise above the reactive mind when

others didn't?

He applied to himself the principles he had found.

5.6 Did L. Ron Hubbard make a lot of money out of Scientology?

No. He received no royalties from the fees paid to

Scientology organizations for training and processing. In

fact, L. Ron Hubbard forgave Scientology churches a

thirteen-million-dollar debt in 1966 when he retired as

Executive Director.

He made his money from the royalties on his books. One

book alone, _Dianetics_, has sold *millions* of copies,

and his total book sales of both fiction and nonfiction are

in excess of one hundred million copies around the world,

including more than twenty national best-sellers in the

1980s. In fact, Mr. Hubbard's books still sell by the

millions each year and the royalties from the sale of

these books and his life's fortune were willed to the

Church to help ensure the future application of his

technology to the betterment of mankind.

5.7 Was L. Ron Hubbard a millionaire?

L. Ron Hubbard was one of those fortunate people who

never made problems over money. He inherited some wealth

at an early age, but in the early 193Os became one of the

highest paid writers in America long before _Dianetics_.

He was a millionaire several times over from his book

royalties. His public book sales continue to be

astronomical.

5.8 How is it that one man could discover so much information?

He simply cared enough to want it and had the

intelligence and persistence to research and find it.

Few men have been trained in all the Eastern philosophies

and in the highest levels of Western science as well.

Knowing that his research was only as valuable as it

provided workable solutions to man's problems, he tested

all of his discoveries and found the most effective

methods for applying the results of his research. His

workable methods enabled him to continue research into

higher and higher realms of spiritual awareness.

5.9 Do Scientologists believe that L. Ron Hubbard was Jesus

Christ?

No. L. Ron Hubbard personally stated he was a man as

others are men. He was a much-loved friend and teacher

and continues to be respected and loved.

5.10 Did L. Ron Hubbard go Clear?

Yes. In order to map the route for others he had to make

it himself.
