Scientology: An Introduction part 4

No religion in history has spread as fast or as far in as short a time as Scientology. Today it is practiced in more than 30 languages in 129 countries on every continent. This part details the expansion of Scientology from its birth in the United States in the early 1950s to its scope today. The next five chapters cover a wide variety of data on Scientology and Scientologists, the breakthrough firsts which have spurred its ascendancy, the history or its expansion, documentation of the sources who have opposed it and the predictions about Scientology by sociologists, religionists and others. Scientology follows a long tradition of religious practice. Its roots lie in the deepest beliefs and aspirations of all great religions, thus encompassing a religious heritage as old and as varied as man himself. Though drawing upon the wisdom of some 50,000 years, Scientology is a new religion, one which has isolated fundamental laws of life and, for the first time, developed a workable technology that can be applied to help one achieve a happier and more spiritual existence. Scientology is therefore something one does, not merely something one believes in an important point which will be greatly clarified as you read on. That Scientologys development and rapid promulgation was made possible, in part, by advances in the physical sciences through the first half of the twentieth century is significant. Scientology constitutes mans first real application of scientific methodology to spiritual questions. For more videos go to the
