CHAPTER 5
THE AIMS AND OBJECTS OF SCIENTOLOGY.
5.1. Mr. Hubbard in his writings states in effect that Scientology developed out of
Dianetics. "The early days of Dianetics were the early beginnings of Scientology."1, 2a It is
"that branch of Scientology that covers Mental Anatomy."3a, 4a "Scientology evolved from
Dianetics."4b "Scientology ... is an extension of DIANETICS which is in itself an extension
of old-time faculty-psychology of 400 years ago."5
5.2. The goal of Dianetics is "A world without insanity, without criminals and without
war ..."3b In September, 1965, Mr. Hubbard formulated the aims of Scientology as "A
civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper
and honest beings can have rights, and where Man is free to rise to greater heights ..."6, 2b, 7
Having so enunciated the aims of Scientology, he elaborates thereon as follows:
"First announced to an enturbulated world fifteen years ago, these aims
are well within the grasp of our technology.
Non-political in nature, Scientology welcomes any individual of any creed,
race or nation.
We seek no revolution. We seek only evolution to higher states of being
for the individual and for Society.
We are achieving our aims.
After endless millenia of ignorance about himself, his mind and the
Universe, a breakthrough has been made for Man.
Other efforts Man has made have been surpassed.
The combined truths of Fifty Thousand years of thinking men, distilled
and amplified by new discoveries about Man, have made for this success.
