Summary/Abstract: The great “discovery” of Scientology is that all human beings are, in fact, immortal tetans and possess an infinite creative potential. Tetans are not part of the physical universe, made up of energy, space, time, but have the ability to control it. They have lost contact with their origins and have remained in the bodies of mortal men as in a trap. Then they moved from one body to another, passing through successive lives without remembered their original state. Because of this amnesia, the tetanus has come to accept the illusion that they are nothing more than physical bodies. The most important practice in Scientology is called auditing, through which it identifies the engrams of the reactive mind ofa prelude (a being possessed by the reactive mind) by observing its reaction to certain key words. This is done following meetings where the subjects undergo several exercises (training). The purpose of “auditing” is to remove the engrams so that individuals can relate their experiences directly and not through the reactive mind filter. The auditor's ultimate goal is to make the subject remember the first engram, received immediately after conception. In the higher stages of the audit, the individual becomes aware of his previous lives, lived as a tetanus in other bodies on this earth and even on other planets. The goal of dianetic therapy is to get the level of "light" (clear). “Luminaries” are those whohave been cleansed from the memory of past traumatic experiences and, therefore, have more success in daily life, are healthier and have more communication skills. Because of this, dianetics has also been called “applied theoretical psychology”. The purpose of Scientology therapy is for the individual to become aware of the tetanus that lives in him. Achieving these goals is accomplished through practices that are characteristic of Scientology: auditing and training, purification, monitoring.
