The new Christmas catalog for Dianetics and Scientology materials has just been released. In terms of design, this copy smokes! Better than any other Christmas catalog I have ever seen, by far.
The catalog is fully translated into over a dozen languages, including Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
There are some new releases in there too… More about that later, but if you want a sneak peak, check it out!
Perhaps you have wondered “Who should be a Scientologist?”, “Could I be a Scientologist?”, “Would I want to be a Scientologist?” or “Is Scientology for me?”, etc.
“SCIENTOLOGY is the name of a body of knowledge discovered by L. Ron Hubbard. It means scio (knowing, in the fullest sense of the word), logos (study of).
“In it are the answers sought by Man in the fields of religion, mysticism, spiritualism, philosophy, mental arts, metaphysics, science and allied studies.
“Its goal is the attainment of the full ability of the individual in all activities.
“It has a long and vivid record of success even before it achieved full development.
“Its earlier precursor was Dianetics (dia through, nous mind or soul).
“Scientology contains the answers to life and death and proudly delivers exactly what it promises to all those who wish to pursue its way properly.
“Scientology is given only to those who personally want it.
“Scientology is undoubtedly the best and most comprehensive body of knowledge in the reach of Man. At its highest levels it resolves even Scientology, an ability never possessed by any other study.”
Safeguard and Improve Your Environment - The Way to Happiness
We live in a world where not everyone cares to look beyond their daily woes at the scenery around them. Nor do many care about the world and its natural resources and its beautiful wonders. Thank god there are those few who do think about the environment and who do spend immeasurable energies to better it.
All of Man has a responsibility to safeguard and improve the environment in which they live. It is up to us to do our part in addition to encouraging others to do theirs too.
The Way to Happiness is a book by L. Ron Hubbard which delivers a set of basic morals for our modern world. You can greatly enhance others you associate with by having them apply these precepts. Precept # 12 is “Safeguard and Improve Your Environment.”
L. Ron Hubbard wrote in a section called “Help take care of the planet”:
“The idea that one has a share in the planet and that one can and should help care for it may seem very large and to some, quite beyond reality. But today what happens on the other side of the world, even so far away, can affect what happens in your own home. …
“Cut down too many forests, foul too many rivers and seas, mess up the atmosphere and we have had it. The surface temperature can go roasting hot, the rain can turn to sulfuric acid. All living things could die.
“One can ask, ‘Even if that were true, what could I do about it?’ Well, even if one were simply to frown when people do things to mess up the planet, one would be doing something about it. Even if one only had the opinion that it was just not a good thing to wreck the planet and mentioned that opinion, one would be doing something.
“Care of the planet begins in one’s own front yard. it extends through the area one travels to get to school or work. it covers such places as where one picnics or goes on vacation. The litter which messes up the terrain and water supply, the dead brush which invites fire, these are things one need not contribute to and which, in otherwise idle moments, one can do something about. Planting a tree may seem little enough but it is something. …
“There are many things people can do to help take care of the planet. They begin with the idea that one should. They progress by suggesting to others that they should.
“Man has reached the potential capacity to destroy the planet. He must be pushed on up to the capability and actions of saving it. It is, after all, what we’re standing on.
“If others do not help safeguard and improve the environment, the way to happiness could have no roadbed to travel on at all.”
Here is an interesting quote I just came across in L. Ron Hubbard’s book, Problems of Work:
“If you are afraid of losing your job,
it is because you suffer already
from too many forbiddings to work.
The only way to hold a job
is to make it every day,
to create it and keep it created.
I you have no wish to create
and continue that job
then there must be something
at cross-purposes with purpose.
There is something wrong between
what you think would be a good purpose
and what purpose your job has.“
