Performance of Scientologists in Moscow 10 July 2011 by [1]

Scientology ( Саентоло́гия) is considered as scientific religion, assumed to combine the best achievements other religions and science. The scientology of century 21 is based on works by Ron Hubbard [2].

Scientology caused hard discussion in the Russian section of wikipedia [3]; the English version [4] looks more serious and constructive.

Axioms

Scientology seems to be one of the first philosophies based on axioms. The site of the Church of Scientology [5] suggests 58 axioms, pretty different from the set of axioms of TORI. The first 16 axioms of Scientology are relatively short, they are copypasted below:

Axiom 1. Life is basically a static.

DEFINITION: A life static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or in time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive.

Axiom 2. The static is capable of considerations, postulates and opinions.

Axiom 3. Space, energy, objects, form and time are the result of considerations made and/or agreed upon by the static and are perceived solely because the static considers that it can perceive them.

Axiom 4. Space is a viewpoint of dimension.

Axiom 5. Energy consists of postulated particles in space.

Axiom 6. Objects consist of grouped particles.

Axiom 7. Time is basically a postulate that space and particles will persist.

Axiom 8. The apparency of time is the change of position of particles in space.

Axiom 9. Change is the primary manifestation of time.

Axiom 10. The highest purpose in the universe is the creation of an effect.

Axiom 11 The considerations resulting in conditions of existence are fourfold:
a. AS-ISNESS is the condition of immediate creation without persistence, and is the condition of existence which exists at the moment of creation and the moment of destruction, and is different from other considerations in that it does not contain survival.
b. ALTER-ISNESS is the consideration which introduces change, and therefore time and persistence, into an AS-ISNESS to obtain persistency.
c. ISNESS is an apparency of existence brought about by the continuous alteration of an AS-ISNESS. This is called, when agreed upon, reality.
d. NOT-ISNESS is the effort to handle ISNESS by reducing its condition through the use of force. It is an apparency and cannot entirely vanquish an ISNESS.

Axiom 12. The primary condition of any universe is that two spaces, energies or objects must not occupy the same space. When this condition is violated (a perfect duplicate) the apparency of any universe or any part thereof is nulled.

Axiom 13. The cycle of action of the physical universe is create, survive (which is persist), destroy.

Axiom 14. Survival is accomplished by alter-isness and not-isness, by which is gained the persistency known as time.

Axiom 15. Creation is accomplished by the postulation of an as-isness.

Axiom 16. Complete destruction is accomplished by the postulation of the as-isness of any existence and the parts thereof.

Applied orientation and success of Scientology

Scientology seems to be first among religions to declare its applied character [6]; so, the religion appears as an instrument, as tool to solve practical problems that arises at the human activity.

As many other religions, Scientology declare its success. The maps of the Scientology locations are suggested for various countries, including Japan [7]; there exist the Scientology churches in Russia and, in particular, in Moscow [8].

Discussions about Scientology

There is special forum about scientology [9].

In particular, very critical opinions about scientology are available [10].

The following description is suggested: В прошедшее воскресенье, сотрудники и прихожане Саентологической церкви Москвы устроили по этому случаю настоящий праздник своим детям, для которых он имеет особое “вкусное” значение. Как и положено торжеству, не обошлось без выступления артистов. Только возраст их был таким же, как и основных участников: от 2-х до 12 лет. Подопечные творческого “Центра Марии Струве” выступали со сцены с танцами, песнями, а каждый из детей мог запросто выйти на сцену и спеть что-нибудь из своего репертуара. Талантов оказалось так много, что остановить их было невозможно. Даже когда их стали фотографировать, они продолжали петь.

Scientology is not just a self-help group. Scientology is not just a wacky cult that Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and other Hollywood celebrities belong to. Scientology wants you too, and will go to any length to get you.
