Safeguard and Improve Your Environment - The Way to Happiness

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.”

This is quite true!

Afraid of Losing Your Job?

Afraid of Losing Your Job?

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.“

You’re a Giant Tied Down with Cotton Lint

You’re a Giant Tied Down with Cotton Lint

In his book, Handbook for Preclears, L. Ron Hubbard stated:

 ”Innately, deep down, you know this.  Actually you are a giant tied down with cotton lint. 

“You tied the knots and furnished the string and said where you’d lie.

“The only trouble you might have in processing is refusing — for some strange but discoverable reason, having to do with concern for others — to burst these list strands and stand up.

“Fortunately this volume offers more than such inspiration.

“But the cold, basic truth is that you are a vital and necessary part of this world and anything that is wrong with you, you have assumed in an effort to be what has passed for ‘human.’”

Study Handbook for Preclears and listen to the Life Continuum lectures.  These L. Ron Hubbard materials are part of the Basics — Scientology’s Golden Age of Knowedge!

Freedom of an Individual

Freedom of an Individual

“The freedom of an individual depends upon that individual’s freedom to alter his considerations of space, energy, time and forms of life, and his roles in it.  If he cannot change his mind about these, he is then fixed and enslaved amidst barriers such as those of the physical universe and barriers of his own creation.  Man thus is seen to be enslaved by barriers of his own creation.”

Self Analysis - Amazing Experience

Self Analysis - Amazing Experience

Learn to Know Yourself - And Not Just a Shadow

Self Analysis describes a broad array of discoveries including time, remembering, forgetting, imagination, valences and special auditing lists for each.  And beyond all those revelations, self-processing lists that provide the most powerful of auditing and which can be done anywhere and at any time — uncovering the real world of you.

The barriers of life are really just shadows.  Learn to know yourself — not just a shadow of yourself. Containing the most complete description of consciousness, Self Analysis takes you through your past, through your potentials, your life. First, with a series of self-examinations and using a special version of the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, you plot yourself on the Tone Scale. Then, applying a series of light yet powerful processes, you embark on the great adventure of self-discovery.  This book further contains embracive principles that reach any case, from the lowest to the highest — including auditing techniques so effective they are referred to by L. Ron Hubbard again and again through all following years of research into the highest states.  In sum, this book not only moves one up the Tone Scale but can pull a person out of almost anything.

Here is a great success story, from this book:

“Before the actual processing (i.e., counselling) section of Self Analysis, L. Ron Hubbard educated me. Then I read all the lists and chapters and began auditing.  List 5 sent me back to birth and soon I could remember exactly what happened — before, during and after I was born. I had somatics turn on and I continued just as L. Ron Hubbard says.  And before long, the somatics blew. I continued with the list, going back to a previous lifetime to an incident where I was injured badly.  I had a headache, I was dizzy and my heart hurt badly.  I was feeling all of this as I carried on through the incident, using the wheel to reduce it.

“After about 20 minutes the somatics blew and I used the second at the back of the book to get back into present time.  I was then able to plot a general time track on paper of my last life! Previous areas that were occluded are no more.  One of the somatics that turned on was to do with my legs and when I stood up a stiffness that I had around my legs for my entire life was gone — completely.  Being audited by L. Ron Hubbard with this book was an amazing experience!” — L. R.

Dianetics - Ahead of Its Time

Dianetics - Ahead of Its Time

Dianetics is the only workable technology of the mind.  It is also the number one self-help bestseller ever.  Rightfully so.

Here is an interesting story of one man’s discovery of Dianetics.  He said:

“As a little boy I always saw the commercial for Dianetics on TV and was always interested in it, ‘The Modern Science of Mental Health’ and I wanted to read it someday or know more about it. So at the age of about 10 years old I somehow came across the book and excitedly sat down to read it.  But to my dismay, I really couldn’t understand it. It was above my comprehension, even though I wanted to read it very badly.

“So almost 20 years later, in finally reading Dianetics, I was able to get out of it what I was seeking 20 years prior, and much, much, more.  Dianetics is where it all started.  It is a must that every Scientologist read it, cover to cover with a dictionary; and completely finish it. This book and the understanding of this book is why I am in Scientology today. I’ve always been interested in the mind and psychology and so forth, but I never got concreate answers — until I read Dianetics. Learning about the reactive and analytical mind, how and why it works, and why we do the things that we do was astounding to me.  Understanding engrams and how we get them was of great interest to me. Getting rid of these engrams and reaching the state of Clear, to me was like ‘modern day enlightenment!!

“In Dianetics, L. Ron Hubbard talks about psychosomatic illnesses and confronting so many things in our lives that we generally don’t know about or repress in our minds. I learned that these are the very things we need to take responsibility for and confront. After reading Dianetics, I realized how and why the human mind works and how it evolved to this day.

“I truly believe Dianetics is ahead of its time.  The world doesn’t yet see or realize the power of this science and its workability.  I believe however, that one day it will.  This book has single-handedly made me go up The Bridge, and that decision has changed my life for the better, more than anything else I have ever, or will ever experience.”

Frankly, I have to agree with his last paragraph in particular.  The power of Dianetics is still untapped to a large degree.  As Dianetics and Scientology continue to grow, the visibility and availability of Dianetics will be ever so greater.  Those who find Dianetics now and become free first are the lucky ones.  Why continue to suffer in life, harbor hatred, feel fear, hang on to pain, when one can become free and Clear?

Life Continuum

Life Continuum

There is a concept in Scientology called Life Continuum wherein a person inherits and then begins living the life of another, by means of adopting that person’s ways, mannerisms, actions, viewpoints, pains, etc.

Below is an interesting success story relating to Life Continuum.  Here it is:

“For three years, since my daughter’s death, even after fabulous Scientology counselling that helped so much, I still felt like I had a knife in my heart and it would often twist and I would be in grief and get depressed.  I came to the Church of Scientology Flag Service Organization in Clearwater, Florida a few weeks ago and the other day I was watching the OT Summit 2007 event on the Basics while waiting for a counselling session.  When the Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige, started talking about Handbook for Preclears, it really caught my attention.  then there was a one or two minute excerpt from an L. Ron Hubbard lecture about Life Continuum.  I couldn’t believe it! I realize that I had been doing a life continuum for my daughter.”

Shortly thereafter she received Scientology counselling on the same procedures that deals with the life continuum.  Whereupon she said:

“The result was beyond belief.  The knife is no longer there and I feel totally different.  I feel like myself again.  The data in the lecture was so explicit, it gave all the requirements and boy did I ever have them.  It was an amazing cognition.  I can hardly wait to read the whole book.”

I find it quite interesting that a person unknowingly takes on the beingness of someone else that they loved who has since passed away.  Yet, it is true.  It does happen.  Life has many interesting twists and turns sometimes.

Success with Work Problems

Success with Work Problems

The materials of Dianetics and Scientology comprise the largest body of information ever assembled on the mind, spirit and life, rigorously refined and codified by L. Ron Hubbard through five decades of research, investigation and development.  http://bpi.goldenageofknowledge.net

Every day people are faced with problems at their work, during business hours, unsolvable situations, etc.  The stress it causes can be exasperating.  But wait…  Below is what one person said about L. Ron Hubbard’s “The Problems of Work.”

“Last night, I picked up and read half of The Problems of Work book in 2 1/2 hours!  You have to understand that this is something that just does not happen with me.  Ever!  Reading The Problems of Work was a piece of cake.  It was just easy.  There is such clarity in the book.  It’s incredible.  The examples in the book are so simple and so clear-cut.  I usually have a large stack of dictionaries on my desk when studying.  In four chapters of The Problems of Work I looked up about five terms in the glossary.  I thought, ‘Oh my God! This is so simple!’ and that was only the beginning.

“Each chapter laid each of my problems in front of my eyes. The first two chapters completely untangled me on a business expansion problem that I had not been able to wrap my head around for the past two years.  I had run into such a failed purpose balancing my family and my business.  Reading this chapter I was like, ‘Oh, God, of course!’ I was so amazed!

“The third chapter untangled my daughter on her music.  As soon as I read it, I spotted what was happening with my daughter whose progress had stalled on her music lessons for a week. She was right in front of me.  I applied it straight from the book and she is now progressing once again.

“The fourth chapter pointed out the personality of my staff right in front of my eyes.  Clashes and arguments were resolved immediately.  It handled considerations and now everything in the physical universe just goes.

“It gave me back my certainty in life.  It revitalized my purpose on everything.  I am absolutely thrilled.”

Now, when I see successes like this, it just makes me feel so excited to read the book myself.  Could your work problems disappear with this book?

The Way to Happiness - Flourish and Prosper

The Way to Happiness - Flourish and Prosper

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 # 21 - “Flourish and Prosper”

Ever feel like someone is against you?  Have you ever wrongly felt like you were a victim of someone’s harassment?

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “Sometimes others seek to crush one down, to make nothing out of one’s hopes and dreams, one’s future and one, himself.”  Ever experience that?  Unfortunately there are people who want others to succumb.

Mr. Hubbard further stated: “The real handling of such a situation and such people, the real way to defeat them is to flourish and prosper.”

Definitely an important datum in today’s society.

The Way to Happiness - Fulfill Your Obligations

The Way to Happiness - Fulfill Your Obligations

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 # 15 - “Fulfill Your Obligations”

Fulfilling your obligations is obviously necessary in any society.  Personally, one must be honest and keep his integrity in.  He must deliver as promised.  If you pay for something, you should have the money to back it up.  If you say you are going to clean the car, then you need to clean the car.  If you know you have to file documents by a certain deadline, well then you have to do that.  If you know your kids are hunger and they expect you to get them some food, well, this is your duty.

L. Ron Hubbard wrote: “The way to happiness is very hard to travel when one is burdened with the weight of obligations which one is owed or which he has not discharged.” 

The Way to Happiness Foundation promotes L. Ron Hubbard’s book (The Way to Happiness) in over 90 languages.  You can also get your own booklet copy with your own custom cover.  Check out http://www.thewaytohappiness.org/ or http://www.twth.org for more information.
