Scientology Web Site Inspires Personal and Social Change

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site provides tools to improve conditions in life.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site took on a new dimension last year with free online courses anyone can do. The result is a virtual nexus, where people from all over the world learn simple tools developed by L. Ron Hubbard and use them to improve conditions in their own lives and those of their friends, families and their communities at large. Scientology leader David Miscavige described the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program: “The final word, as regards our front-line work bringing our help wherever and whenever needed is our corps of Scientology Volunteer Ministers — on call, 24 hours a day in scores of nations.”

A student from Senegal in western Africa, who found the web site through Google, said, ” I think that even just reading the information I can achieve my goal: to avoid violence and create peace in my community.”

“I was thinking—How can we actually make a difference in the world?” wrote an industrial engineer from Bolivia, “and I was worried about the things that were happening. How can we face injustice, crime, and totalitarianism? We have to teach people to live by certain rules that ensure that these things won’t happen. We have to conquer darkness with light and develop social networks that bind people together with common principles of mutual caring, respect for law and respect for our neighbors. My country is going though very difficult times. There is violence and racism and hate. My search for peace and a way to make this world more secure led me to your web site.”

From Kenya, a childcare specialist wrote “Your lessons and strategies of dealing with children has really motivated me to join with your network.”

An engineer from Oman said “My interest was drawn to the real life issue assistance that I may attain from your courses. They seem to be the missing something that we very often overlook in life and forget to pass on to our children and peers.”

“What particularly got my attention,” wrote a manager from the Philippines, “is how your organization focuses its assistance on specific concerns and problems with solutions that can be applied immediately. I have been experiencing a great deal of change in myself and how I view others. And I want to learn more.”

The free Scientology courses provide tools to help with such things as marriage problems, trouble in relationships with others, raising children, difficulties on the job and overcoming stress, anxiety and depression. These are self-guided courses, meaning people move through them at their own pace. Each course includes practical exercises where students get hands-on experience in applying the data. The courses are supervised by trained extension course supervisors who ensure the students can use the material and provide feedback, guidance and help where needed.

To enroll on a free course, visit the Scientology Volunteer Ministers web site.

Scientology Volunteer Ministers

Friends of mine are Scientology Volunteer Ministers heading off for Bihar in India to help flood victims. I am so amazed that there are people who will drop everything to go help total strangers just because they are in need.

And it's not like these people are independently wealthy or have businesses that can float them cash to enable them to go. No. They are just ordinary working people like me and you who know that their going to help in a disaster will save lives.

Here's what David Miscavige has to say about Scientology Volunteer Ministers. I have to admit I completely agree.

Video Site Online

You would have gotten from my last post that there's a new feature on Scientology.org of short video clips that describe Scientology principles and show what we're doing in our communities and in society as a whole.

There are some wonderfully moving videos. I highly recommend a trip over there.

Videos Highlight Scientology Humanitarian Efforts

There is a new section of the Scientology web site that has videos about Scientology and the many various activities Scientologists do in society. I knew we were committed to making this a better world, but seeing it all together like this I realized how much we are actually accomplishing.

Still, there's a lot more to do.

Real Live Philanthropy

Whatever your opinions may by of the Microsoft empire, what Bill and Malinda Gates have done with their money is saving lives.

An article this week on Newsweek covers their work in sub-Sahara Africa to contain AIDS and bring in the needed resources to end deaths from treatable/curable diseases which still plague these countries. >>more

Heroes Come in All Sizes

I was so impressed with the story of this two year old child who called 911 when her mother collapsed in their home, I had to share it.

"In a military town filled with heroes, Alana Miller has the distinction of being the smallest of them all.

"The 2-year-old girl is also on her way to becoming a miniature celebrity.

"Oak Harbor High School swim coach Erika Miller came home to her family’s house on the Seaplane Base last Thursday night with a migraine headache. She got up from the couch to make sure a door to the garage was locked. She fainted in the hallway, knocking her head on the floor.

"The precocious toddler sprang into action. She picked up the phone and dialed 911. She told the dispatcher in her tiny voice: 'momma owie, momma owie.'>>more
