L. Ron Hubbard's Works



L. Ron Hubbard's work impacts on every aspect of life because it is a study of life itself. But his most remarkable achievment is reflected in one of my favorite LRH quotations:

"You are a spirit. You are your own soul. You are not mortal. You can be free."

L. Ron Hubbard


You often hear the name "L. Ron Hubbard" in conjunction with humanitarian work. Mr. Hubbard himself was so dedicated to helping others that he inspired this attitude in those who knew him or studied his works.

The book Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought by L. Ron Hubbard is an excellent way to find out about the Scientology religion.

Here's what it says about this book at http://www.lronhubbard.org/book/html/sl1.htm

The Scientology philosophy presents the first truly honest study of life in all its parts--a study based on practicality and workability, not on the vested interests of our modern materialistic world. In Scientology, you will discover new and effective principles to make dramatic changes in your life and the world around you.

David Miscavige at the 2004 LRH Birthday Event


I just attended the LRH birthday event for 2004. It's a tradition in Scientology to commemorate L. Ron Hubbard's birthday each year, and review the events of the past year as regards expansion of the Scientology religion around the world. This year's event was a blockbuster, with a presentation by David Miscavige on plans for the future - very exciting.

The effectiveness of Scientology technology in handling problems is tremendous and so far-reaching, from handling literacy to drug rehabilitation, from patching up relationships to raising stable and happy kids.

Most people I know have several areas of their life they would like to improve - some have given up, but if they had any idea that life could be better they'd do something about it. There are answers to these problems in Scientology, and you don't have to believe it - you just study the information and apply it.

Religious Technology Center

On the web site of Religious Technology Center, www.rtc.org , a very important aspect of Scientology is described, and one which explains much of what Mr. David Miscavige has accomplished as Chairman of the Board of RTC:

"The philosophy and technologies of Dianetics and Scientology were discovered and developed solely by L. Ron Hubbard. It is a fundamental belief of Scientologists that, if the technologies are applied exactly as he recorded them in Scientology scripture, they are universally workable and will improve conditions and result in greater spiritual awareness and ability for everyone.

"For this reason, Scientologists emphasize the orthodox and standard application of the Scientology scripture."
Mr. David Miscavige has done a tremendous amount of work to ensure that Scientology technology is applied exactly has specified by L. Ron Hubbard.

Social Betterment


Mr. David Miscavige has repeatedly called upon Scientologists to do all they can to take responsibility for the condition of society.

Applied Scholastics

An example of this is that Mr. Miscavige encourages Scientologists to help others with the technology they have learned. One thing the society urgently needs is the effective study technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard. Several years ago Mr. Miscavige announced that the International Association of Scientologists was going to sponsor a new campus for Applies Scholastics International in Spanish Lake, Missouri (Spanish Lake is part of greater St. Louis). At International Scientology events, David Miscavige often covers outstanding examples of what Applied Scholastics is doing to help people, and how it is addressing the serious problem of illiteracy on this planet.

Narconon International, at Arrowhead Oklahoma

All you have to do is read one of the success stories of a former addict, helped by Narconon, or speak to a recovered addict or someone in his or her family to know how vital it is that L. Ron Hubbard drug-rehabilitation technology, as delivered in Narconons around the world, is made available to everyone in need of it.

Mr. Miscavige announced several years ago that Narconon's facilities were being greatly expanded and enhanced with the purchase and full renovation of Narconon Arrowhead. This would enable many more people to take advantage of its services.

Since the International headquarters of Narconon moved to Arrowhead so many people have come for help and to learn how to open centers of their own that Narconon is planning to add more buildings to accommodate the expansion.

The Way To Happiness

L. Ron Hubbard wrote a very simple and extremely effective booklet called The Way To Happiness which is a non-religious moral code. What we are confronted with in society today is a complete breakdown of moral standards.

Yet Mr. Hubbard's research showed repeatedly that it is only by having and adhering to a moral code that the individual can achieve happiness.

This booklet is so simple and yet so profound. Every time it is distributed it calms down the area. It is the text of this booklet that is used by Criminon a criminal-reform program supported by Scientology churches around the world.

Several years ago Mr. Miscavige announced that The Way To Happiness Foundation was moving into brand new premises in Glendale, California, where it now has the facilities to be able to publish custom version of this booklet for any group, in any language. There are some pretty miraculous results accomplished by this booklet on a social level, and on an individual basis it is remarkably effective in helping the individual live a better and happier life.

Mr. David Miscavige Officiates at L. Ron Hubbard's Birthday Celebration


On March 13th Scientologists celebrate the birthday of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion.

Each year, the church the most rapidly expanding Scientology church in the world is awarded for what it accomplished in the past year.

Several years ago the Kansas City Church of Scientology received this award and it was covered in their local newspaper:

More People in KC Finding Way to Scientology's Door

This event is always hosted by the Church of Scientology, Flag Service Organization in Clearwater, Florida -- over recent years the event has been held at the Ruth Eckerd Hall - Center for the Performing Arts but will soon be able to hold it at our own auditorium when the construction of the new church headquarters is completed.

David Miscavige is usually master of ceremonies at these events, and it is an opportunity to see how much impact Scientologists are having on society. Mr. Miscavige's speeches are always very inspiring.

New Scientology Building in Clearwater


The groundbreaking ceremony for the new Scientology building in Clearwater was several years ago David Miscavige and other Scientology officials attended, and kicked off the construction of this new center, which is scheduled to open this year. I am really impressed with how they kept the architecture consistent with the Fort Harrison hotel. When you see the buildings together they look of a piece, even though the hotel was built 77 years ago.

Mr. David Miscavige Announced the Expansion of Scientology in Clearwater

Construction on the new Scientology headquarters in Clearwater started a few years ago. At that time there was a groundbreaking ceremony where Mr. David Miscavige of the Religious Technology Center officiated. Here's a page on a Scientology web site that explains the purpose of the Scientology church in Clearwater. It explains the purpose of Scientology religious retreats.

The new building should open this year. I'm sure this will bring incredible expansion, not just to Scientology in Clearwater, but to the city of Clearwater too.

David Miscavige officiated at the groundbreaking ceremony for this new building. There were fireworks and hundreds of people came to share in this landmark event.
