“Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.” Stated by Ron Hubbard, the founder of scientology. This might seem like a logical even inspirational quote, but as we look further into the foundation of this statement we see the truth and real meaning behind simple statements like this and to the world of scientology created by a man named Ron Hubbard.

First we look at where scientologist believe we came from. They believe we come from what is known as the Theta theory, which is a divine energy or spirit. A more simple way to understand this would be to think of the Theta theory as static, it does not have a dimension or length, it is merely itself. The physical universe is known as MEST, which stands for mass,energy,space
They believe we are fragmented from God. First we must understand what they think God is, to a scientologist God is known as the eighth dynamic. The eighth dynamic is a set of principles they follow that help them achieve a higher level of survival or higher level of oneness.These principles begin with self, creativity, group survival, species, life forms, physical universe, spiritual dynamic, and infinity. Once they complete one dynamic they are allowed to move on to the next dynamic or level.To them God and their identity is simply becoming infinity or becoming the best you can be.

This can be avoided by becoming clear, when this happens a person can think for themselves and will have a better chance of becoming one again. A few techniques were developed by Ron Hubbard and are said to be very effective they include different clearing courses and an auditory repeater technique.

Lastly is truth knowable to scientologist? Scientologist believe that there is knowable truth through experience. The truth to a scientologist is to survive and become the best being they can be. The better one lives his life is the truth to him. Pain, sadness, and regret are the truth to those who have failed to survive on a higher level, but success, joy, and pleasure are the results of becoming one and moving to a better spirit. The truth to a scientologist is what he believes is true and if he can become one with God
