Scientology

The word "Scientology" means “knowing how to know.” Scientology contains knowledge and practical methods for improving life.

If things were a little better known and understood we would all lead happier lives. If we understood others better then we could get along with them better. If a man understood his wife better or a wife understood her husband better then the difficulties in a marriage might be resolved.

Scientology is a practical religion. It may well be the world’s first practical religion. It helps each individual to better understand themselves, their family and friends and the world around them. While other efforts to help Man have tried to solve problems for him, Scientology is different. For it believes that an individual, placed in a position where he can increase his abilities and where he can face and identify the factors in his life more easily, is also able to solve his own problems and so better his life and the lives of those around him.

This is achieved through two basic routes: Scientology Training and Scientology Counseling (known as “Auditing”)

Scientology Training

In Scientology Training one learns basic truths about life and then techniques using these truths to improve one’s life. An example would be one of the Life Improvement Courses, such as the "How to Improve Relationships with Others Course" which amongst other things, teaches

• The three vital components of understanding and how to use them every day
• Two rules for happy living
• How to spot the source of any interpersonal conflict
• The secret to confident and flawless manners, no matter what social circles you associate with.

At the Church of Scientology Mission of Sarasota we deliver all the Scientology Life Improvement Courses, the Scientology Handbook Courses and Scientology Extension Courses for all basic Scientology Books.

Scientology Auditing

Scientology Counseling is called "Auditing". The word "audit" comes from the Latin word "audire" which means "to hear". The person who delivers Scientology Auditing is called an auditor, which means "one who listens". An auditor is a person who is trained and qualified in applying Scientology processes to individuals for their betterment. The word auditing was chosen instead of counseling because an auditor never tells a person what to think about himself or his life, the auditor listens and guides the person to a greater awareness so the person himself can come to his own conclusions and resolve the situations being addressed.

At the Church of Scientology Mission of Sarasota we deliver Introductory Auditing which addresses the areas of a persons life that are giving them the most difficulty.
