...lizations 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.
7.11 Why does Scientology have ministers? Are all
Scientologists ministers?
The Church of Scientology has ministers to deliver
Scientology religious services to church parishioners.
Only those who specifically enroll in and graduate from
the Scientology Minister's Course and its prerequisites,
and fulfill the requirements for ordination are
Scientology ministers. All Scientology auditors are
required to become ordained ministers; however, they are
allowed to audit as ministerial students while fulfilling
their ordination requirements.
7.12 What are field staff members?
Field staff members are individual Scientologists who
disseminate Scientology, provide books to interested
friends, family members and associates and introduce (or
select) people to the Church. They are appointed by their
nearest Scientology organization. Because they have had
gains from Dianetics and Scientology themselves, they
naturally want to share it with others.
7.13 Why is everything copyrighted and trademarked in
Scientology?
Scientology and Dianetics are technologies that work if
applied exactly. If they are altered, the results will
not be uniform.
For this reason, the technology is copyrighted and the
words and symbols which represent the technology are
trademarked. This way, nobody can misrepresent something
as standard Scientology or Dianetics that really isn't.
In fact many persons have tried to rip off and profit
from the technologies of Dianetics and Scientology. The
subjects were developed for spiritual salvation, not for
anyone's personal enrichment. Through ownership of the
trademarks and copyrights, such ill-intentioned actions
are prevented by the Church.
[7.14 Does the IRS recognize Church organizations as non-profit
charitable organizations?]
[Yes, in the Fall of 1993, upon finishing an extensive in-
vestigation of the Church's organizations and their fi-
nances, the IRS ruled that the Church of Scientology and
its organizations were non-profit charitable organizations
and therefore eligible for tax exempt status in the United
States.]
8. CHURCH FUNDING
8.1 Why do Scientologists make donations?
Some churches have a system of tithes, others require
their members to pay for pew rentals, religious
ceremonies and services. In the Church of Scientology,
parishioners make donations for auditing or training they
wish to take. These contributions by Scientologists are
the primary source of financial support for the Church
and fund all the community programs and social betterment
activities of Scientology. Scientologists are not
required to tithe or make other donations.
Ideally, Dianetics and Scientology services would be
free, and all Scientologists wish they were. But those
are not the realities of life. When one considers the
cost of delivering even one hour of auditing, requiring
extensively trained specialists, and the overhead costs
of maintaining church premises, the necessity of
donations becomes clear.
The donation system in Scientology is the most equitable
as those who use the facilities of the Church are the
ones who most directly contribute to its upkeep and
continued existence. Naturally, no donation is expected
from those not receiving auditing or training. And church
doors are always open to those who wish to learn more
about the philosophy of Scientology, be they parishioners
or not. There are tape plays of L. Ron Hubbard's
lectures, introductory lectures, books available, people
to discuss questions with, and of course the more
traditional church activities — Sunday service, sermons,
weddings, christenings, funerals — all of which are
provided without any donation necessary.
Scientology does not have hundreds of years of
accumulated wealth and property like other religions --
it must make its way in the world according to the
economics of today's society.
Scientologists' donations keep the Church alive and
functioning, fund its widespread social reform programs,
make Scientology known to people who may otherwise never
have the opportunity to avail themselves of it, and help
create a safe and pleasant environment for everyone.
8.2 Why does one have to make donations to separate
organizations for their services?
Scientology churches and missions are separate
corporations and have separate financial records. The
donations that go to each church for services delivered
by that church must be separately banked and accurate
records kept in alignment with the accounting procedures
and laws in each country.
8.3 What about those who cannot afford to make donations for
services?
There is a Free Scientology Center in churches of
Scientology where those who cannot afford the donations
can receive free auditing from ministerial students.
Many Scientology services are free and the knowledge is
free to all men. There are also books, books, books and
free public lectures, Sunday services and other religious
services for which there is no cost. Books can be
obtained in the local area either by going to a church of
Scientology, a public bookstore or local library.
But it's interesting that once a person becomes more
causative through the application of Scientology
technology in his life, he does not usually need or want
free services for very long. He becomes capable of
holding a good job and thereby able to exchange for the
services he wants.
Ministers-in-training can receive free auditing from
other students while they are doing their training.
8.4 Is the Church profit-making?
No. Scientology churches are nonprofit organizations, as
the donations all go back into the support and expansion
of the Church.
8.5 How much does it cost to go Clear?
The cost varies from individual to individual depending
on which route to Clear one takes.
One route is to pay for professional auditing and get
audited all the way up to Clear. The preferred route,
however, is to get trained as an auditor and co-audit
with another Scientology student. The co-auditing route
to Clear requires far less donations than professional
auditing plus one helps another to progress. As
professional auditing is much more expensive for the
organization to deliver (requiring several staff to
service one parishioner) the donations are necessarily
higher. Training donation rates are much more economical
and an incentive for persons to train while they co-audit
without cost to the state of Clear.
No matter which route one chooses to achieve the state of
Clear, all who have attained it express the pricelessness
of the increased spiritual freedom they have achieved.
8.6 How well paid are Scientology staff?
The pay varies from church to church and from time to
time. Staff are paid in proportion to the amount of
donations received by their individual organizations.
Thus, staff members are in control of how much they make
by virtue of how well they perform individually on their
own jobs.
In any event, Scientology staff aren't motivated by money
and in no instance anywhere in the church structure is
pay exorbitant. Scientology staff are motivated by a
desire to help, not get rich.
[8.6 Are donations made to the Church of Scientology tax
deductible in the United States?]
[Yes, according to a 1993 decision by the IRS, donations
of any kind made to the Church of Scientology (including
auditing and training donations), are tax deductible in
the United States.]
9. SCIENTOLOGY BOOKS
9.1 What is the best book for a beginning Scientologist to
read?
_Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health_ which is
the best-selling self-help book of all time, is the book
recommended for beginners who are interested in the mind
and how it works. This book has been a best-seller for
over forty years.
In 1977, 'Publishers Weekly' called _Dianetics: The
Modern Science of Mental Health_ "perhaps the
best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West."
In 1988, 'Publishers Weekly' awarded _Dianetics_ its
prestigious "Century Award" for more than 100 weeks on
its best-seller list, officially designating it the No.
1 best-selling self-help book of all time.
If a person is more interested in starting with a broad
summary of L. Ron Hubbard's research and findings about
man as a spiritual being and basic principles of life,
the first recommended book is _Scientology: The
Fundamentals of Thought_. (Chapter 41 [of _What is
Scientology?_] gives a more detailed explanation of the
books available and suggested course of reading.)
9.2 Are the books difficult to understand?
Not at all. The books are quite easy to understand.
Depending on what aspect of Scientology and Dianetics you
are most interested in, any church Bookstore Officer can
recommend the best sequence in which the books should be
read.
9.3 Where can L. Ron Hubbard's books be purchased?

definitely makes people happier.
10. DIANETICS
10.1 What is Dianetics?
L. Ron Hubbard discovered the single source of stress,
worry, self-doubt and psychosomatic illness — the
reactive mind. In his book _Dianetics: The Modern Science
of Mental Health_ he described the reactive mind in
detail and laid out a simple, practical, easily taught
technology to overcome it and reach the state of Clear.
Dianetics (which means "through soul") is that
technology.
10.2 What is the mind? Where is the mind?
The mind is basically a communication and control system
between the thetan — the spiritual being that is the
person himself — and his environment. It is composed of
mental image pictures which are recordings of past
experiences.
The individual uses his mind to pose and resolve problems
related to survival and to direct his efforts according
to these solutions.
10.3 What is the difference between the analytical mind and the
reactive mind?
The analytical mind is the conscious, aware mind which
thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves
problems. The reactive mind is the portion of a person's
mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis,
which is not under his volitional control, and which
exerts force and the power of command over his awareness,
purposes, thoughts, body and actions.
10.4 What is the difference between Scientology and Dianetics?
Dianetics is a technology which uncovers the source of
unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and
psychosomatic illnesses, and which sets forth effective
handlings for these conditions.
'Dianetics' comes from the Greek 'dia' meaning "through"
and 'nous', "soul." It is further defined as "what
the soul is doing to the body."
'Scientology' is the study and handling of the spirit in
relationship to itself, universes and other life. It is
used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence and
ability and to enable a person to realize his own
immortality.
Dianetics and Scientology are *separate* subjects, but
the delivery of each has in common certain tools like the
E-Meter and the basic rules of auditing.
