Scientology is a religious movement founded by science fiction writer El Ron Hubbard in the early 1950s.

It is based on Hubbard's teachings and a set of doctrines outline in his writing, particularly in his book,

Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health, published in 1950.

Central to Scientology is the concept of auditing, a form of spiritual counseling,

aimed at helping individuals overcome past traumas, known as Ngrams, and achieve spiritual lightment.

Auditing often involves the use of an electronic device known as an e-meter,

which is believed to measure a person's mental state and can help

identify areas of spiritual distress. Scientology teaches that humans are immortal beings called

Thaetans who have forgotten their true and spiritual potential. Through auditing, as well as other

Scientology practices, followers seek to free themselves from spiritual limitations and achieve higher levels of awareness and ability.

The Church of Scientology founded in 1953 continues to serve as a central organization for the dissemination and practice of Scientology beliefs.
