t’s been claimed by some “experts” that a person is born with just so much intelligence and that’s all there is, game over.      Well, think for yourself. Compare it to what YOU know of life. It doesn’t make a lot of sense, does it?      Perhaps you’ve also heard it said that we only use 10% of our potential intelligence. Did you ever wonder what happened to the remaining 90%?      We say you CAN increase your intelligence and recover your full potential, because SCIENTOLOGY is primarily concerned with the full rehabilitation of man’s innate spiritual self, his awareness and his capabilities.      SCIENTOLOGY provides exact principles and practical technology for improving self-confidence, intelligence and ability. It does not require blind faith or belief – one can apply the principles and see for oneself if they work and are true.      SCIENTOLOGY addresses the spirit – not simply the body or mind – and is therefore completely apart from materialistic philosophies which hold that man is a product of his environment – or his genes.      Through its drills and studies one may find the truth for oneself. It is the only thing that can show you who you really are.      Applying SCIENTOLOGY technology to life dramatically improves conditions and restores a person’s ability to think for himself and solve his own problems. This technology is known as “auditing.”      SCIENTOLOGY auditing could be described as a unique form of personal counseling which helps an individual look at his own existence and improves his ability to confront what he is and where he is.      Through auditing, one improves the ability to confront and handle the factors in life. There are vast differences between the technology of auditing and other forms of counseling. There is no use of hypnosis, trance techniques or drugs. The person being audited is completely aware of everything that happens. Auditing is a precise and practical activity that gets results.      The goal of auditing, then, is to restore beingness and ability and this is accomplished by (1) helping the individual rid himself of any disabilities and (2) increasing individual abilities. Obviously, both are necessary for an individual to achieve his full potential.      A person trained and qualified in applying auditing to individuals for their betterment is called an “auditor” from the Latin “audire” meaning to hear or listen. That’s because he listens and understands what people are saying and makes sure they get the full benefit of the SCIENTOLOGY technology.      An auditor does not engage in some vague form of mental exploration, nor does an auditor offer solutions, advice or evaluation. Auditing is not something that is “done” to a person. Its benefits can be achieved only through active participation and good communication.      Auditing is an incomparable experience, its full description well beyond the scope of this article. However, imagine something that has been troubling you all your life – some feeling or attitude or experience. Something you KNOW is holding you back. Now, imagine sitting with someone who is calm, who doesn’t tell you what to think about yourself, who you feel confident talking to about anything, and then imagine being asked an exact question – the right question – that enables you to suddenly see the truth of the situation, the real source of it.      Then, imagine the relief, the return of understanding, the sense of freedom, the restored confidence in yourself that comes with the realization of the truth.      This is what auditing is.      And it is essentially because of this spiritual transformation that someone, somewhere in the world, every minute of every day goes free with SCIENTOLOGY.      That someone could be you.      See for yourself what auditing is all about. Gain your own understanding of why SCIENTOLOGY has grown and continues to grow as rapidly as it is.       And you will see what SCIENTOLOGY can do for you.
