SCIENTOLOGY RELIGIOUS TRAINING
As described above, the Bridge to Total Freedom is a spiritual path consisting of the two complementary religious practices of auditing and training. Participation in both is essential for the attainment of a complete understanding of all life—all eight dynamics.
While auditing enables the individual to inspect and overcome spiritual encumbrances and rise through a series of ascending levels of spiritual awareness, training consists of the intensive study of the tenets of the religion.
Study of the Axioms and fundamental truths contained in Scientology Scripture leads to a complete understanding of man’s spiritual nature—the relationship between thetan, mind and body; the relationship between theta and MEST; and the precise means by which a thetan becomes entrapped in the physical universe.
There is no part of life that Scientology training fails to address—from the seemingly mundane to the highest truths of existence. Studying these truths invariably answers many questions the individual has had about himself, his fellows, and the universe in which he finds himself. Training is thus a path of personal revelation and an indispensable part of an individual’s personal progress up the Bridge.
