Scientology Volunteer Ministers in Kolkata, India Train Nursing Students

A seminar organised at a nursing college of Kolkata on Scientology Assist Technology enlightened the students about this technology and motivated them to use it while taking care of their patients.

I read a great article today about the Volunteer Ministers.  You can find the full article here: http://www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=125337 Otherwise, below is some of the data from the article which explains the help the Volunteer Ministers were doing in teaching nursing students how to help their patients.

Students at a nursing college in Kolkata got the help they needed through a seminar on Scientology Assist Technology organised by Scientology Volunteer Ministers (VMs) of West Bengal in coordination with the Scientology Volunteer Ministers India Goodwill Tour.

The Volunteer Ministers chose the native language i.e. Bengali to deliver the lectures to 41 students at the nursing school. After listening to them the students realised that they lack the skill of taking care of patients by keeping the spiritual aspect in mind. And without this skill, the nurses who are surrounded by sufferings give up themselves to the idea that in many cases, nothing could be done about it.

The motto of the Volunteer Ministers is exactly the opposite. Their motto is ‘Something can be done about it.’  And this is also true because of the technology developed by its founder L. Ron Hubbard.  For example, one of the subjects in which Volunteer Ministers are trained is ‘Scientology assists’. This subject includes the simple procedures that address the emotional and spiritual side of the trauma, illness or injury.

The nursing students were also taught to use the Locational Processing Assist. A Locational assist is provided by deviating the person’s attention from the painful area of his body to somewhere else. When someone’s attention is fixated on a physical problem or on any emotional difficulty, a Locational Assist can help in deviating the attention, leaving him or her extroverted, in good spirits and more able to solve the problem. L. Ron Hubbard described the qualities of a Volunteer Minister in an essay, titled Religious Influence in Society: “A Volunteer Minister does not shut his eyes to the pain, evil and injustice of existence. Rather, he is trained to handle these things and help others achieve relief from them and new personal strength as well.” 

The nursing students were delighted with the seminar.  They now understand that why Hubbard described VMs in these terms, because in the three short hours they also got to know about the tools they could use immediately and with the help of these tools they can take care of the patients in more efficient manner.
