Scientology: It's General Background by L. Ron Hubbard
“Any work that I am doing or have done, and that you are doing, has a tremendously long and interesting background. You are delving with and working with the oldest civilized factors known to man.” —
L. Ron Hubbard,
Scientology, Its General Background
In 1954, L. Ron Hubbard was living in Phoenix, Arizona, where he conducted a series of courses for advanced students. In this single year he delivered more than 450 recorded lectures. The object of this intense activity was the achievement of a goal as old as man himself — the freeing of the human spirit. This year also marked the establishment of the first Church of Scientology in Los Angeles, California, and so, on the 19th of July, Ron delivered a talk to students at the Hubbard College in Phoenix, Arizona on its religious heritage. Here he validated Scientology’s status as a church in the truest sense of the word with a unique presentation of man’s spiritual quest throughout the ages.
Ron presents a fresh perspective of the development of mankind and religion. Beginning with its Eastern roots, he follows the path through the Middle East and into Western civilization. He contrasts the enlightened yet impractical philosophy of the Orient to the highly practical approach of the West, which advances forward with great haste but without purpose. And he explains how Scientology reconciles these divergent philosophies into the first workable religious practice man has known. Carrying forward this tradition of wisdom into our spiritually bereft modern culture, it gives new meaning to life.
This is truth available nowhere else, a constant source of enlightenment and inspiration, both to newcomers and those at the highest levels.
