Dear Fellow Scientologist,
L. Ron Hubbard's Congress Lectures are creating major effects in the lives of those who listen to them! For example:
"Immediately after listening to the first few lectures, I wondered how I could even call myself a Scientologist without knowing this data. I thought 'How many times has someone asked me to describe Scientology? How could I sum it up in a few sentences?' Well now I can do it. Even though I am a trained OT, these Congresses undercut everything that I have learned and give the simplicity of it all. I am so impressed with the Golden Age of Knowledge that I set aside time EVERY day to listen to them. Without this knowledge I would have a hard time actually saying 'I am a Scientologist.'"
For the first time, really, in all our years, we now have the KNOW-HOW of KNOWING HOW TO KNOW. This can not be understated. For now it is totally possible to know truth and to practice truth. On which it has been said:
"The actual barrier in the society is a failure to practice truth. Living lives of white lies, they find it difficult to grasp that truth actually exists. This can hang on as a habit during the first studies of a student and he can defeat himself utterly by continuing a dishonesty in his study - skipping this, not doing that. For Scientology is the road to truth and he who would follow it must take true steps.
"There is undoubtedly a considerable amount of neating up that I could do, including making all materials more readily avaliable, seeing to the compilation of a very extensive dictionary of terms, filling in incidental gaps where materials may not have been fully recorded. These are difficulties of a minor nature compared to the research in making the result attainable.
"It has been difficult working in a confused and, yes, even primitive society that is starved for workable knowledge in the humanities. The very condition that made it vital to seek out and release the material also made it difficult to do the job in the first place.
"Scientology now has more than enough data and technology to handle even the broad problems in the humanities. The main task now is getting it fully used, and along this line there are hundreds of thousands working every day around the world.
"Scientology is the fastest growing religion on the planet by actual surveys and statements by sociologists. And this is the more remarkable as in this period orthodox religions have shrunk before the materialistic onslaught of our times.
"The materials of Scientology are the result of forty-three years of search, coordination and application to millions. The organizations of Scientology have been building and expanding for nineteen years (despite the fears and hates and jealousies of this civilization) on five continents and making it all the way, thanks to the magnificent people of Scientology.
"We are very rich in materials, in results and in the potential future. Through our hardest times we have endured. Into our brightest times we are expanding.
"These materials contain the full basics of the only game in the universe where everyone wins, the game of triumphant life itself." - L. Ron Hubbard
The way to do this is simple. Get your set of Congress Lectures. LISTEN to them. And may you never be the same, from here out into eternity.
