March 13 is L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday

March 13 is L. Ron Hubbard’s Birthday

Many people around the world today celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday. As the founder of the Scientology religion, his legacy lives on as the Church of Scientology continues to grow.

His legacy in the technology of study continues to spread while it helps thousands through Applied Scholastics and other schools and institutions all across the world.

Hundreds of thousands have learned his views on drugs and the harmful effects these have on the body, and live drug free lives because of this. Through his works in drug rehabilitation and drug education, Narconon continues to help people get off drugs in one of the most successful drug rehabilitation systems available.

Because of his amazing ability in the field of writing, L. Ron Hubbard’s books have been sold in the millions and still sell today at a massive rate. L. Ron Hubbard is the most translated author. Guiness World Record Awarded to L. Ron Hubbard.

There is no doubt that L. Ron Hubbard has changed the lives of millions, all in the name of love, increased ability, increased potential, freedom, caring, human rights and through his own self desire to help others.

L. Ron Hubbard will continue to be revered as one of the greatest men of recent times.

And best of all, myself personally, I celebrate L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday because I have studied a good portion of his religious works and I have found so many truths contained within them that mean much more to me and my own life than I can even figure out how to describe. He has done a brilliant job at sorting out so many things about people, their emotions, their problems, their decisions, and how to handle these, as well as how to increase abilities and how to help someone regain their own viewpoint and desire to create and be cause over life. For that I am too grateful and so I share the occasion with many on this day to celebrate his birthday.

Scientology Continues to Help Belgium

Scientology Continues to Help Belgium

Athletes Run from The Hague to Brussels to Raise Awareness About Drugs in Europe.

Scientologists continue to help Belgians by educating and supporting activities to make Belgium a country free of harmful drugs.

The first week of August 2007 marked the completion of a 180 km (112 mile) relay race from The Hague, Netherlands to Brussels, Belgium, conducted by the Foundation for a Drug-Free Europe, to call attention to the urgent need for increased drug education as a means of curtailing drug abuse among youth.

One thing Scientologists are definitely known for is their stance against harmful drugs. So it was no surprise when the Foundation for a Drug-Free Europe (FDFE) in cooperation with Narconon drug rehabilitation center in the Netherlands and the “Say No to Drugs-Say Yes to Life” campaign, which is coordinated by Scientology churches in the Netherlands and Belgium organized the marathon.

At public events along the route the runners distributed drug education booklets, published by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World. The booklets present the facts and speak to youth in their own terms, and they also help parents and educators understand the issue, recognize the signs of drug abuse and communicate better with young people about the subject.

“Many parents today don’t realize that when they send their children off on holidays they may be putting them at risk,” said Paul Rood, spokesperson for the marathon. “Exposure to drugs and alcohol typically increases at holiday locations. Young people need factual information so they can make informed decisions about drugs.”

Scientology - Effective Solutions: Savings Lives from Drugs

Scientologists are Drug Free

Scientologists are Drug Free

One thing about Scientologists is that they are 100% drug free.  Scientologists therefore are obviously very concerned with the harmful results drugs have on families and people in general.

Many celebrities have stated that Scientology has helped them get rid of their drug habits, including Kirstie Alley, Lisa Marie Presley and Juliette Lewis.

Scientologists engage in many activities to assist others to get off of drugs and stay off of drugs. 

For example, in virtually any Church of Scientology around the world, you can enroll on what is called the Purification Rundown.

What is the Purification Program?

The Purification Program is a carefully designed combination of exercise, vitamins, nutrition and sauna use which dislodges drug residues and other toxins from the fatty tissues so that these substances can then be eliminated from the body. While the Purification Program rids one of the biochemical residues that reactivate past drug experience, it is but the first step to a full resolution to the spiritual devastation caused by drug, medicine and alcohol abuse. http://www.scientology.org/en_US/news-media/faq/pg019.html

Here is a success story from the Purification Rundown: 

“I had used drugs ranging from marijuana to cocaine as well as others in between for three years. I was failing in school, disliked myself and had absolutely no inkling as to what I was doing or where I was going in life. The only time I had “fun” was when I was high on drugs. I then started the Purification Rundown and finished it in several weeks. I have been a changed person ever since! I am alive. I no longer have a fog around me. I can see what is really going on in life rather than living in a “fairyland.” I have been off drugs for six years now and I am a productive person in society. The Purification Rundown completely changed my life.” G.S.  http://www.purificationpgm.org/

Clear Body Clear Mind

A lot of the concepts contained within the Purification Rundown can be found in a book L. Ron Hubbard wrote called: “Clear Body Clear Mind.”  Kelly Preston has personally promoted this book widely because of the great information contained within it.

The Purification Program can help reverse the harmful spiritual and mental effects drugs can have on someone.

Narconon

Narconon is a non-profit drug rehab program dedicated to eliminating drug abuse and drug addiction through drug prevention, education and rehabilitation.  Narconon methods are based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, but it isn’t part of the Church of Scientology.

There is over 100 Narconon drug rehab centers around the world and Narconon prides itself in being one of the greatest drug rehab programs around.  The Narconon Program has one of the highest success rates in the field of drug rehabilitation, with outside studies showing 75% of the graduates going on to lead stable, ethical, productive drug-free lives.

Here is a success story from the program:

When I first came to Narconon back in 1997, I was 27 years old, had been using every drug under the sun for 15 years and was basically in apathy as to whether or not anything could be done to help me. This was my third rehab in a year and I truly wanted help, I just didn’t think it was available. So I started doing the program and I could not find anything wrong with it. No matter how hard I tried, with all of my old paranoia and distrust in full effect, I just couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Here was a program that didn’t have me admit I was powerless and diseased, want me to relive my terrible past 90 times in 90 days (for the rest of my life) or want me to take “medication” for my “manic depression”.

“This is a program that truly showed me that I am powerful, that I can repair the past and that all the happiness I ever hope to find is within myself. This program not only showed me how to stay off of drugs, it did just what it promised, it gave me a new life. If you’re at the end of your rope and you’re ready to put in some good, honest hard work to make a change for the better, without drugs, Narconon is hands down the best drug rehabilitation drug program on the planet, period. I’ve been clean for 3 years now and I owe it all to my grandmother for getting me to Narconon and to Narconon and Mr. Benitez and Mr. Hubbard.

“Thank you very, very much.”

Kelly Preston and John Travolta are also really fond of Narconon and were recently in Hawaii to help establish another Narconon there (http://www.narcononhawaii.org) and raise the needed funds for this.  See my other recent blog entries relating to that:

Drug-Free Marshals

The Drug-Free Marshals is a youth education and prevention campaign the Church of Scientology International founded to popularize being drug-free.  Kids get others to recite the Drug-Free Marshal’s pledge, which is:

As a Drug Free Marshal, I pledge to lead the way by:

1. Living a drug-free life.
2. Showing my friends that a drug-free life is more fun.
3. Helping my fellow Drug-Free Marshals.
4. Learning more about how drugs really harm people.
5. Telling people the truth about the harmful effects of drugs.
6. Helping my family and friends be drug-free.
7. Setting a good example to all children by leading the way to a Drug-Free USA.

http://www.drugfreemarshals.org/thepledg.htm

The Drug-Free Marshals have a world wide network of people working to keep kids off drugs.

Foundation for a Drug Free World / Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life

As an effective drug education program, the Foundation for a Drug Free World, promotes the slogon: Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life.  They have produced a handful of booklets which introduce the truth about drugs. 

Among these booklets are:

The Truth About Drugs

The Truth About Heroin

The Truth About Cocaine

The Truth About Crack Cocaine

The Truth About Crystal Meth

The Truth About Ecstasy

The Truth About Joints

The Truth About LSD

The Truth About Painkillers

The Truth About Kiddie Cocaine

Each of these booklets are jammed filled with vital information about drugs, their effects as well as solutions and what you can do about them.

The Foundation for a Drug Free World even has an education kit for teachers and others who wish to carry on the torch.

New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project

This is a detoxification project which Tom Cruise highly supports.  This project followed the 9/11 attacks in New York City.  NYPD and NYFD worked tirelessly at Ground Zero helping those caught under the debris, however, as a result, they suffered badly by the amount of toxins in the air as you can imagine.  Talk about toxic exposure.  The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project was established to rid people of these toxins.  This procedure has been very effective and is based off of L. Ron Hubbard’s technology.  See my other blog entries about the NY Detox here:

CCHR - Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights

CCHR International headquarters in Los Angeles, California

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) is a non-profit, public benefit organization dedicated to investigating and exposing psychiatric violations of human rights. It also ensures that criminal acts within the psychiatric industry are reported to the proper authorities and acted upon.

Dr. Thomas Szasz

CCHR was founded in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and the internationally acclaimed author, Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the State University of New York, Syracuse.

CCHR also exposes the deadly side effects of drugs and how bogus psychiatric disorders are created by psychiatrists to give them another reason to prescribe drugs to people and make more money, while harming the society.

Many Scientology celebrities, such as Catherine Bell, Kirstie Alley, Leah Remini, Kelly Preston, Tom Cruise, Danny Masterson, Marisol Nichols, Jenna Elfman, support CCHR and their activities to save kids from being drugged to death.

In conclusion, you can clearly see that Scientologists are completely anti-drug and are 100% drug-free.  It goes without saying that Scientology does not support groups or people who are for drugs.  Reversely, it is interesting to know that a good percentage of people who oppose Scientology are actually pro-drugs, despite the violence, suffering and deaths caused by them.

Nevertheless, Scientology will continue to be drug-free, allow people to think freely and will continue to campaign a drug-free world.

John Travolta Says Narconon is the Best Drug Rehab Program

John Travolta Says Narconon is the Best Drug Rehab Program

John Travolta told Extra: “Compared to other rehabs, we’re the best.”

Kelly Preston and John Travolta were in Hawaii recently to put on a fundraiser for Narconon which raised over half a million dollars for the drug rehab program.

http://www.narcononhawaii.org/

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawaii

John Travolta and Kelly Preston host fundraiser for Narconon in Hawai’i

HONOLULU, HAWAI’I: Kelly Preston and her husband, John Travolta, were hosting a lavish dinner celebration today, Thursday to support a new Narconon rehab center in Hawai’i.

“This is my baby,” Preston told The Associated Press of her efforts to provide drug education, prevention and rehabilitation services.

A Hawaii native, Kelly Preston said she came home to help address the islands’ growing problem with crystal meth. She started three years ago, working with school and government officials to launch Narconon in Hawai’i.

The dinner will raise money to support that program as well as a new residential drug-rehabilitation facility. The 60-bed Narconon Hawai’i center is expected to open in “two to three months,” Preston said.

She was quoted saying: “This is my first one” and ”I would love to continue doing it on the islands — on each of maybe four or five of the main islands — and I’d love another one also here, a juvenile facility.”

She also told the local TV station (KgMB9): “I know that this program works.  I know that it gets a 75% success rate.  It’s amazing.”

Narconon is a worldwide drug rehabilitation and education network with facilities in 40 countries. It is based on the principles of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.  It is also one of the most effective drug rehab programs.  http://www.narconon.org  Narconon has more than 100 drug prevention and treatment centers around the world.

“Our goal collectively as an organization is to help with collaboration of everybody else, have a drug free Hawaii,” said Narconon Hawaii president Myron Thompson.

As you know, Kelly Preston and Travolta, who have been married 15 years, are both Scientologists and as humanitarians both have been supporting efforts to get kids off drugs for a long time.   Read my prior article on this very point: Kelly Speaks Out Against Drugs.

http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/05/24/arts/NA-A-E-CEL-US-Kelly-Preston.php

Here is a story about a man named Chad Bloom whose life was destroyed by drugs until he found the Narconon program:

Kapolei resident Chad Bloom, 21, told KGMB9 (local Hawai’i tv) his life was a mess before Narconon.

“That’s when I quit work.  And that’s all I was doing.  Going out to find more drugs.  Going out to find where they were.  And using them,” Bloom said.

Desperate for help Bloom entered the Narconon rehab program in Oklahoma last December.  He graduated from the program in mid-April and today says he is drug free.

“I’m very confident that I’m done with it.  I have no doubts what so every that I won’t go back to it,” Bloom said.

“It’s wonderful.  I mean, he’s back and he’s that person I always knew he could be,” added Lari Bloom, Chad’s mother.

http://kgmb9.com/kgmb/display.cfm?storyID=11527&sid=1183

Narconon Hawai’i has been delivering basic drug education in Hawai’i schools since January 2005. To date, Narconon drug educators have given presentations to more than 23,000 students in 65 schools. Analysis of initial responses from those students have shown positive results–informal surveys show that 89% stated they would never start taking drugs, or were now against drugs as a result of the Narconon presentations.

A year ago, Preston and Narconon Hawai’i teamed up with other island drug prevention groups to distribute free “parent kits”, designed to help parents learn how to more effectively talk to their children about the dangers of drug abuse. The kit, introduced by Lt. Governor James “Duke” Aiona and University of Hawai’i football coach June Jones, includes essential information and simple lesson plans most anyone can follow. As a result of the distribution campaign, which included television public service announcements featuring Preston airing repeatedly on all four local networks, thousands of families requested and received the free kit.

Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann proclaimed the week of May 20 - May 27, 2006 “Teaching our Kids the Truth About Drugs Week” to commemorate the launch of the kit distribution on the islands.

The Foundation for a Drug Free World also heavily promotes drug-education materials with their newly designed website at http://www.drugfreeworld.org.  They also have booklets on key drugs which provide lots of useful information concerning these drugs and the harm they create and what to do about it.

Juliette Lewis - Success with Scientology

Juliette Lewis - Success with Scientology

Juliette Lewis has been a long time Scientologist.  She is quite famous as an actress and is now quite famous as a musician too.  Her band Juliette & The Licks is totally rock-and-roll.  She has a great website up at http://www.julietteandthelicks.com/

Juliette is quite a character. I think this is one of the reasons she is quite popular.  She can be wild and have fun at the same time.

Her website is kind of cool too.  You can experience what her music is like from there.  It also has the latest information about her site available.

Juliette & The Licks on May 28th, will be re-releasing “Four on the Floor” with a bonus DVD full of amazing footage of the band on stage and on the road! 

I found a Scientology success story from Juliette Lewis which I felt I should share.  It was published in a book called What is Scientology?  She stated:

“I am no longer stuck in the bottomless pit of despair and apathy. Having achieved the state of Clear is the single most important thing that I’ve done for myself. It has allowed me to experience life in a way I only imagined.”

http://www.whatisscientology.org/html/part05/chp19/pg0310-a.html

http://www.whatisscientology.org

She also links to http://www.narconon.org from her website.  Narconon is a drug education and drug rehab program that has been found to be very successful and is based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard.

John Travolta - Success with Scientology

John Travolta - Success with Scientology

John Travolta has been a long time Scientologist and his movies continue to be rake in the millions and please his fans.  His last movie Wild Hogs did very well.

John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston are also very active on various community activities, which I find to be a very humanitarian effort.  For example, they will be at a fundraiser in Hawaii on May 24th, 2007 to support Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program which has proven to be a very successful program. (http://www.narconon.org)  Read my earlier blog entry on this at: http://spiritualbeing.wordpress.com/2007/05/09/john-travolta-and-kelly-preston-to-host-anti-drug-event/

To say that John Travolta has had a successful career in life would be an understatement.  Not to mention, he happens to be one of the only celebrities that I know that fly jets and can park one by their own house.  It is quite amazing.

John Travolta has definitely expressed a lot concerning his religion of Scientology and here is a success story which I found which was published in the book What is Scientology?

“In January of 1975 I was working on my first film in Durango, Mexico. There I met an actress who gave me the book Dianetics. During the five weeks we were filming she gave me some auditing sessions and applied some basic principles. That was when I became involved in Dianetics – because it worked.

“When I returned to the United States I began Scientology training and auditing. My career immediately took off and I landed a leading role on the TV show “Welcome Back Kotter” and had a string of successful films. I have been a successful actor for more than twenty years and Scientology has played a major role in that success.

“I have a wonderful child and a great marriage because I apply L. Ron Hubbard’s technology to this area of my life.

“As a Scientologist, I have the technology to handle life’s problems and I have used this to help others in life as well.

“I would say that Scientology put me into the big time.”

Catherine Bell - Giving Back

Catherine Bell — Giving Back

Catherine Bell has a great website up at http://www.catherinebellonline.com.  It is a very cool and well-designed site.  On there she has a section called “Giving Back,” which says:

These are all groups that I am closely involved with and I support them because they WORK! They have extremely effective and workable solutions to everything from criminal rehabilitation to teaching the illiterate to read.

CRIMINON www.criminon.org
CCHR www.cchr.com (video)
EARTH ORG www.earthorganization.org

NARCONON www.narconon.org
APPLIED SCHOLASTICS www.appliedscholastics.org
LABEL ME SANE www.labelmesane.com
EPIDERMOLYSIS BULLOSA www.ebkids.org

This is a great list.  A lot of these groups are associated with L. Ron Hubbard’s technology.  Seeing that she is a Scientologist, this would make sense.  Her comment (above) really points out why she refers to these.  She stated: “I support them because they WORK!”

In that end, that’s what really matters anyway.

She also has a section called “Links” which also refers to Scientology-related sites or friends of hers which are Scientologists, and celebrities.  Here’s what it says:
