stories is that they are now more in control of their

lives than they ever have been.

In fact, Mr. Hubbard was one of the first to discover and

expose *actual* mind control and brainwashing

experimentation conducted by United States military and

intelligence agencies during and after World War II. He

called these techniques "pain-drug-hypnosis" or PDH.

In his 1951 book, _Science of Survival_, Mr. Hubbard

wrote: "There is another form of hypnotism . . . This

form of hypnotism has been a carefully guarded secret of

certain military and intelligence organizations. It is a

vicious war weapon and may be of considerably more use in

conquering a society than the atomic bomb. This is no

exaggeration. The extensiveness of the use of this form

of hypnotism in espionage work is so wide today that it

is long past the time when people should have become

alarmed about it. It required Dianetic processing to

uncover pain-drug-hypnosis. Otherwise, pain-drug-hypnosis

was out of sight, unsuspected and unknown."

Not only did he uncover such blatantly destructive

experimentation, but the technology he developed,

Dianetics, could *undo* the effects of PDH and free a

person from the grip of mind control.

Years after Mr. Hubbard learned about these government

sponsored psychiatric mind control experiments, documents

released under the Freedom of Information Act detailed

the extent to which these techniques were being used.

Over the years, the Church of Scientology has exposed

numerous instances of brain-washing or mind control

practices, such as those involved in so-called

"deprogramming." In this case, individuals are taken

captive and forced to renounce their chosen religious or

political group, generally using some form of coercion,

food or sleep deprivation and sometimes drugs.

Such practices are diametrically opposed to the aims of

Scientology, which are to free man and return to him his

ability to control his own life.

6.15 Does Scientology actively promote for new members?

Yes. Scientologists make the technology broadly available

to others because they want others to receive the same

gains they have experienced. The Church wants more people

to know and apply the works of L. Ron Hubbard and

actively and vigorously promotes this.

6.16 Does one really need Scientology to do well in life?

That is a question you will have to answer for yourself.

A Scientologist's viewpoint is that while some people

might be surviving quite well without Scientology, they

can always do better and expand their potentials even

further. In fact, Scientology was developed to help the

able become more able and one usually finds the people

doing best in life are the first ones to embrace

Scientology.

If you are interested in self-improvement, Scientology

provides a tested route by which you can obtain

tremendous benefits and learn to use your mind, talents

and abilities to the fullest. If you know people who are

doing well but have never heard of Scientology, the

question is: "Could they be doing better?"

6.17 Does one have to believe in Scientology?

No. One is not expected to believe in Scientology. One is

only expected to study and apply the data and see for

himself if it works for him. To quote L. Ron Hubbard,

"Anything that isn't true for you when you study it

carefully isn't true."

6.18 Why do Scientologists sometimes seem so intent on what

they are doing?

If you had a chance to change yourself and civilization

so greatly, you would be interested as well.

6.19 What do the terms 'preclear', 'student' and 'auditor'

mean?

A 'preclear' is someone who is receiving Scientology or

Dianetics auditing on his way to becoming Clear. Through

auditing he is finding out more about himself and life.

A 'student' is one who reads in detail in order to learn

and then apply the materials he has studied. One studies

Scientology for itself and uses it exactly as stated,

then forms his own conclusions as to whether or not the

tenets he has assimilated are correct and workable.

An 'auditor' is a Dianetics or Scientology practitioner

trained in the technology of auditing. 'Auditor' means

"one who listens" (from the Latin word 'audire'). An

auditor listens and computes, applying standard

technology to preclears to help them achieve the

abilities as stated on the Classification, Gradation and

Awareness Chart. An auditor's job is to ask the preclear

to look, and get him to do so.

6.20 What is the E-Meter and how does it work?

E-Meter is a shortened term for 'electropsychometer'. It

is a religious artifact used as a spiritual guide in

auditing. It is for use only by a Scientology minister or

a Scientology minister-in-training to help the preclear

locate and confront areas of spiritual upset.

In itself, the E-Meter does nothing. It is an electronic

instrument that measures mental state and change of state

in individuals and assists the precision and speed of

auditing. The E-Meter is not intended or effective for

the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any disease.

The book _Understanding the E-Meter_ offers a simple

explanation of how the E-Meter works and what it actually

measures. In order to understand what the E-Meter does,

it is necessary to understand some basic Scientology

concepts.

There are three basic parts of man -- mind, body and

thetan. The thetan is an immortal spiritual being -- the

individual himself. He (the thetan) inhabits a body,

which is a carbon-oxygen machine. He has a mind, which is

a collection of mental image pictures he has created.

These pictures have weight and mass and can impinge on

the person when he is emotionally upset.

This is what makes the E-Meter read -- the impingement of

such pictures against the body.

The E-Meter puts a very small electrical current

(approximately one and a half volts) through the body.

This is about the same amount of current as in the

average battery-powered wristwatch.

When a person thinks a thought, looks at a picture, re

experiences an incident or when he shifts some part of

the pictures in his mind, he is moving and changing

actual mental mass and energy. These changes in the

person's mind affect the tiny flow of electrical energy

generated by the E-Meter, which causes the needle on its

dial to move.

The E-Meter thus measures changes that are caused by the

spiritual being in his own mind (i.e., the movement of

mental masses around him) and in this capacity, it is a

religious artifact.

The E-Meter is used to help the individual who is being

audited uncover truth. By locating areas of mental or

spiritual trauma, the E-Meter helps both the auditor and

the preclear locate exactly what to address in auditing.

7. THE ORGANIZATIONS OF SCIENTOLOGY

7.1 Scientology is a philosophy. Why does it need to be

organized?

Scientology is an *applied* religious philosophy.

Therefore organization is needed to make the technology

available and teach people to apply it.

7.2 How many people work in a Scientology church?

The number of staff varies from church to church. Small

churches may have 20 and large ones over 500.

7.3 How is Scientology organized?

There is a "mother church" which is the Church of

Scientology International. It is headquartered in Los

Angeles. It is responsible for the ecclesiastical

supervision of the rest of the Scientology churches

around the world, which are organized in a hierarchical

structure not dissimilar to that of the Catholic Church.

(For more information about the structure of the Church,

see Part 5 [of _What is Scientology?_].)

7.4 Where are Scientology churches located?

Scientology churches and missions exist all over the

world. There are a great many churches and far more

missions in various countries.

7.5 What does a Scientology church or mission actually do?

The main activities of Scientology churches and missions

are training Scientology ministers and providing

auditing. The church also conducts Sunday services,

weddings, funerals and christenings and delivers other

chaplain services. The church helps the individual become

more able to help himself and to help others.This is done

by training and auditing.

7.6 What is the Office of Special Affairs?

The Office of Special Affairs (OSA) deals with legal

affairs for the Church. It also publishes the facts about

the social betterment works of Scientology, informing the

government, the media, other religions and other groups

with interests similar to those of the Church. OSA also

oversees the social reform programs of the Church, among

which are those that expose and effectively handle

violations of individual and human rights.

7.7 What is the Flag Service Organization?

The Flag Service Organization (FSO), often referred to as

"Flag," is located in Clearwater, Florida [USA]. It

delivers advanced spiritual training and auditing. It

retains its name from the days when it used to operate

from the flagship 'Apollo', ("Flag" in nautical terms

means "the flagship" or the vessel which gives orders to

others.)

7.8 What is the Flag Ship Service Organization?

The Flag Ship Service Organization is located aboard the

450-foot ship called the 'Freewinds', and is an advanced

religious retreat that delivers the level of auditing

called New OT VIII and specialized training to

Scientologists.

7.9 What is the Sea Organization?

The Sea Organization (commonly referred to as the Sea

Org) is a confraternal organization existing within the

formalized structure of the Church. It is composed of the

most dedicated Scientology staff who have decided to

devote their lives to the delivery and expansion of

Scientology.

The Sea Organization has no separate corporate structure

or identity and its members work for various different

churches of Scientology and are subject, as are all other

employees of that church, to the orders and directions of

the board of directors.

The Sea Org was established in 1967 and once operated

from a number of ships. It was set up to help L. Ron

Hubbard with research of earlier civilizations and to

carry out supervision of Church organizations around the

world to keep Scientology expanding. It is also entrusted

to deliver the advanced services of Scientology.

The Sea Organization retains its name in celebration of

the fact that the Founder's life was majorly connected

with the sea. It exists to help keep Scientology working.

7.10 Is it true that people in the Sea Org sign a billion-year

contract?

Yes, they do. It is a symbolic document which, similar to

vows of dedication in other faiths and orders, serves to

signify an individual's eternal commitment to the goals,

purposes and principles of the Scientology religion. Sea

Org members have dedicated their lives to working toward

these ends and toward a world without war, drugs, crime

and illiteracy.
