WHAT DOES THE WORD SCIENTOLOGY MEAN?

The word Scientology, conceived by L. Ron Hubbard, comes from the Latin scio which means “know” or “distinguish,” and from the Greek word logos which means “reason itself” or “inward thought.” Thus it means the study of wisdom or knowledge. It means knowing how to know. Scientology, however, is defined as the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life.

The primary goal of both Scientology and Dianetics is increased spiritual awareness for all. For this reason, neither Scientology nor Dianetics is offered as, nor professes to be, physical healing, nor is any claim made to that effect. Individuals who desire treatment of a physical or mental illness or condition are not accepted but instead, should obtain a competent medical examination for their physical or mental condition(s) or emotional disorder, by a qualified medical practitioner, before addressing the spiritual aspect of any such condition.
