Scienetology Outline

OUTLINE: SCIENTOLOGY ESSAY

Introduction: Scientology, which means “the study of truth”, is a religion that was born out of a self-help program called Dianetics established by L. Ron Hubbard. He first published his ideas in a self-help book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. This self-help program covers the three parts of man; the mind, the body, and the spirit and goes in depth into how to balance your life. Beliefs that relate to the meaning of life are The Dynamics, which are the eight areas in which human’s urge for survival breaks down to. There are also the two triangles, the ARC triangle, affinity + reality + communication = understanding, and the KRC triangle, knowledge, responsibility, and control.

First Paragraph: ARC triangle: Affinity + Reality + Communication. How ARC is used in conversations to make things more meaning full.

Second Paragraph: The dynamics: How they determine what is meaningful in what sort of context.

Third Paragraph: Operating Thetan level: Reaching the pinnical of scientology and the meaning of life.

Conclusion: Scientology’s views on the meaning of life focus more on each individual person and the bigger picture ideas are mostly just there to give framework on which each individual persons life can be given meaning. We understand that the ultimate goal of life is to reach the final level of Operating Thetan and to obtain a sort of enlightenment. To reach this Scientology has set down a number of doctrines that include ideas such as happiness and understanding to help a person live a more meaningful life and eventually reach the level of Operating Thetan.
