Scientology believes that its doctrines have the same significance and objectivity as scientific laws. The Church of Scientology says, “Scientology works 100 percent of the time when it is properly applied to a person who sincerely desires to improve his life”. L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of Scientology said of the ‘religion’: “For a Scientologist, the final test of any knowledge he has gained is, ‘did the data and the use of it in life actually improve conditions or didn’t it?’”
Scientologists believe that the ‘thetan’, an individual’s cosmic force (or life force) is the true identity of the individual. The thetan is intrinsically good, and capable of unlimited creativity. A long time ago, thetans created the material universe for their own pleasure, the universe not really having an independent reality but only existing because most thetans agree it does. Thetans began to identify with their creation and eventually forgot their true nature, coming to think of themselves as nothing but material beings. Thetans are reborn again and again in different bodies, similar to the reincarnation principle in Hinduism. With each rebirth, the effects of the material universe become stronger on the thetan. I certainly wouldn’t sacrifice my damenuhren for this ‘religion’!
