Scientology: Auditing A Sane World

Scientology is a religion based on freeing man kind and creating a sane world. It was founded in 1954 after L. Ron Hubbard had been publishing psychology books about the mind, reactive mind and exteriorization. Exteriorization is a belief that one’s spirit is separate from the mind, which is a substantial belief in Scientology today. Scientology is focused on man’s spirit, and the idea of making today’s unsettled society more balanced.
