How to Use Scientology…

I wanted to write something that provides value to anyone thinking of studying scientology, or who has recently begun learning any subject.

The advice is actually cryptically suggested in the title of my post ‘How to Use Scientology”. The idea is that if you’re going to study the subject – study it to USE, not for reasons that aren’t to do with USING.

LRH commented on how the VALUE of knowledge to a person is directly related to how one uses that knowledge. (see LRH study materials.) Many people evidently have ulterior motives to studying a subject, perhaps for reasons of status, “Look, I have a degree!”…

…And those types of people often don’t fully understand the subject they studied because they don’t ever use it in their life. This devalues the subject they studied.

So, here comes my advice to you. If you’re going to study Scientology (or ANY subject), study it for a purpose related to using it or doing something. Whenever you come across a datum in Scientology, try and work out how you can use it to improve your life.

For instance, read up on ARC (Affinity, Reality and Communication) and create examples on how to use it in your life. Then actually use it. Observe and evaluate whether use of that particular concept has helped you or been useful to you.

But if you don’t study scientology for use, but only as a piece of theory to file away somewhere, then you might as well not bother with it, IMO.

The big question to ask yourself when studying a subject or choosing a subject to study is “How am I going to use this subject?”.
