Ron Hubbard, the prolific science fiction author and founder of the Church of Scientology, may have been judged “a mental case” (according to the F.B.I.) and “a pathological liar” (according to a Los Angeles Supreme Court judge), but to tens of thousands of his eager followers worldwide, the man discovered an approach to recovery that outclasses ...

TVA L'auteur de science-fiction L. Ron Hubbard a fondé l'Église de Scientologie en 1954.

Seule l'application rigoureuse des techniques développées par Hubbard permettent de s'en débarrasser et d'arriver au statut de personne ...

TVA L'audition est au coeur de la scientologie. Il s'agit d'une technique où l'auditeur, en posant une série de questions, guide la personne auditée à travers ses souvenirs. L'audition est censée permettre de retracer et d'éliminer les traces laissées par les traumatismes passés. Cela ressemble parfois à l'hypnose et les personnes auditées affirment d'ailleurs souvent avoir revécu des moments passés de leur vie. Nos collaboratrices ont été initiées à l'audition au cours d'une fin de semaine de Dianétique, passage obligé pour tout ...
