Millions of people all over the world have used Scientology to improve their lives and help their fellows. This handbook contains the basic Scientology principles and methods most often employed to help people get along better in interpersonal relationships, be more successful in their work, improve their family life, and effectively help their friends, family and associates do the same.

Read The Scientology Handbook.

How to Help Others

The best way I have found to help other people is firstly to be there for them. To me this means using tools to help people handle whatever problem they may be running into. I didn't realize how many different things this can involve, but the good thing is that L. Ron Hubbard came up with amazing ways to deal with life's challenges.

It's all the Scientology Handbook.

The Right to Help

At the Celebrity Center Gala two weeks ago, the Vice President of Celebrity Centre gave a terrific quote by L. Ron Hubbard.

It was something to the effect that the greatest human right there is is not the right to assembly, freedom of speech or religion -- rather it is the right to help.

I would never have thought of that, but it is so true.

HAS ANYONE SEEN THESE PSAs?

On the new website for Youth for Human Rights (www.youthforhumanrights.org), there are 30 PSAs (Public Service Announcements) that are so touchy and really give a message of the fact tat men and women are basically good and want to survive.

The PSAs are a great piece of art and communication to anyone interested in Human Rights for real and for truly making a difference.

Here is the exact URL for the PSAs: http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/watchads/index.html

Self Analysis

One of my favorite Scientology books is Self Analysis, because it is very easy to learn to use and you can help just about anyone by using this as an auditor (a person trained and qualified in applying Dianetics and/or Scientology processes and procedures to individuals for their betterment; called an auditor because auditor means one who listens.)

The Scientology Handbook

There are many ways that one person can help out another person who is having difficulties in life.

As a Scientologist the main tool I use is the Scientology Handbook. This has an answer for just about every situation. I gave a copy to a friend of mine who is not a Scientologist and he uses it all the time for problems at work, in the family or whatever. The thing is these simple actions can be used by anybody.

Volunteer Ministers in South Africa

I had to add this in. This is an article about Scientology Volunteer Ministers hard at work in South Africa

Scientology Volunteer Ministers have joined with rescue teams around Port Elizabeth to help in the aftermath of flooding that left thousands homeless this week.

Torrential rains caused roads and schools to be closed and left most of the area without electricity. Almost all of Port Elizabeth's low-lying areas were transformed into endless lakes of muddy water.

Worst affected were thousands of residents living in shacks in informal settlements in low lying areas.

Working alongside the rescue teams the volunteer ministers collected donations of food and clothing and distributed them to those in need and worked on repairing and constructing homes.

They also helped relief workers and survivors alike with Scientology assists, techniques developed by L. Ron Hubbard that alleviate stress and physical aches and pains, and orient a confused or distraught individual to his present environment.

Although the immediate danger is over the Volunteer Ministers team are continuing to work with community leaders to help them cope with the needed reconstruction of the area.

The Problem with Kids

The main problem with kids is their parents.

I remember the first time I read this quote by L. Ron Hubbard "The main problem with children is how to live with them. The adult is the problem in child raising, not the child. A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have.

"The main consideration in raising children is the problem of training them without breaking them. You want to raise your child in such a way that you don’t have to control him, so that he will be in full possession of himself at all times. Upon that depends his good behavior, his health, his sanity.

"Children are not dogs. They can’t be trained like dogs are trained. They are not controllable items. They are, and let’s not overlook the point, men and women. A child is not a special species of animal distinct from man. A child is a man or a woman who has not attained full growth."

I so totally agreed with it. It was exactly the way I felt about it.

So I think the most usual problem with kids is their parents.

YOUTH FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

I wrote about this earlier but want to include some more information, as there is just a terrific response to these public service announements that are currently being distributed by Churches of Scientology around the world.

Recently Mr. David Miscavige hosted an event aboard the motorvessel Freewinds, where new public service announcements were released. These are very special PSAs with a very special message.

As a Scientology Volunteer Minister I am going to help get them distributed and seen everywhere I can - they are just amazing.

What they depict is true examples of violations of each of the points of the United Nations Declaration for Human Rights. They really communicate what people's rights actually are and I was amazed to learn how many people don't know their god-given rights.

I hope that getting these seen will help people be more tolerant of each other and bring about respect in the world - I believe they will.

To see the ones published so far go to the Youth for Human Rights website.

What a Child Really Needs

Here's one of my favorite quotes from L. Ron Hubbard:

“A good, stable adult with love and tolerance in his heart is about the best therapy a child can have.”

That's one think I love about the Scientology religion. It makes so much sense!

Helping Kids in India

There are some great stories on the ScientologyVolunteer Ministers web site of the work Mohammad Khalil Ullah is doing, using
L. Ron Hubbard technology to help the kids of Calcutta.

There are more than 12 million people living in Calcutta. Many of them in the slums. These kids don't have a chance for a decent life. Most of them are without education; far too many fall into the hands of drug and sexual traffickers. Even if a child avoids getting involved in crime, what chance does he or she have to move up in society without knowing how to read.

In his speech called This is Scientology Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center emphasizes that the solutions we need today are found in the material but in the spiritual. Mr. Ulla is someone who recognizes this and has been using Scientology technology to help resolve serious issues in society.
