Beliefs and adherents
The Church of Scientology is a self-professed religion.
Scientology teaches that trauma impacts people’s ability to view reality through a clear, analytic mind.
so that experience true reality, one must go through the process of getting clear.
This is a matter of finding the trauma’s root, reliving it, and eventually finding neutrality.
The individual can then experience true reality, unclouded by past traumas.
The ultimate goal in Scientology is to become an “Operating Thetan.”
A thetan is an immortal being, which Scientologists believe people are at their very core.
“It’s a long list.”
