well said, go12_3!!

Life is about singing a line in the symphony of other's lives
Life is about giving and receiving
Life is about finding and being you, and being there for others
Life is being a flower (rather than a bug) in the bouquet that makes up humanity
Life is about seeking beauty, and adding a bit if you can
Life is about seeking truth, and adding a bit if you can
Life is about seeking peace (if only with yourself), and adding a bit if you can
Life is about learning to awe about the grandness of life, the universe and the rest
Life is about learning and adding a drop to the sea of wisdom and knowledge, if you can

Life is about living

Live your life!

The Meaning of Life is a Monty Python film :D

When you ask what the meaning of life is, do you mean our own personal reasons to live, or the purpose of life itself in the universe?

Life has no meaning.

Kidding! We as a species are in dire need of thetan cleansing. We are but thetans in a cluttered mass of sepulchral waste known to us as bodies. Contact an auditor now.

What exactly do you mean by that? I know an auditor is like an accountant, because my mom was one. So surely you don't mean it literally.

An auditor is a specialized person in charge of lessening the strains placed on ourselves by the strains of living. Through well paced and patented techniques, an auditor can safely rid one of such ailments as emotional trauma, pain, etc. The website in my signature is of great guidance.

Scientology was started by the 4th grade SF writer Hubbard to make a buck (vitually all sects have a "give me all you money/belongings" rule), proving along the way that no matter how outragiously rampant nonsense you utter, you can get followers. The only thing this mob will relieve you of is your money, personality and dignity. Since Scientology is therefor a criminal organisation (and was intended to be so), trying to lure people into it for it is simmilar to trying to get members for the Maffia, the Ku Klux Klan or simmilar. Anyone doing such advertising should be banned, forever, from this or any Forum, website and the like. If you are actively acting as a lure to drag people into this despicable institution, and it very much seems that way, you are a criminal and I loathe and despise you beyond measure.

If this sounds hostile, it is, and very much so.

You are an uneducated, fearful person. :) You obviously do not understand anything about Scientology or what it is capable of. A 4th grade writer started it? That is some gifted 4th grader don't you think? Scientology is a legal religion and we have endured great hardships to establish it as such. To an uninitiated mind such things as the E-meter or auditing may appear as absurd, but so did the ideas of Darwin appear absurd to the beliefs of closed minded insects. Criminal organization? Really? You need to do some research! It is folks like you who fear us because we are superiour. If this forum agrees to ban me for my beliefs then it will be fine with me. I am just here to make things clear.

I understand exactly what it is capable of!

Unfortunately so, it should be rated an illegal criminal organisation.

You've managed so because authorities, who should know and act better, are fearful of attacking anything that is done or said under the flag of "religion". Scientology is not a religion, it's a load of crap (which in itself isn't a problem, most if not all religions contain at least some), presenting itself as a religion in order to make itself immune for the law and to avoid taxes, and acting as a method of luring in people to rid them of their money and personality. Such applies agian, in part, to most organised religions, but they at least were not explicitly started to do so. Scientology is akin to things like the Maffia and it's siblings, and should be treated as such.

No, it appears to be absurd to those who apply their brain even for less the 0,1 seconds. It's bogus and a fake, as Mr. Hubbard himself very well knew.

I have, hence the conclusion.

You're overestimating yourself quite abit there. And exposing yourself for what you are along the way. Fear you? Not in your wettest dreams. You're last three words sound very much like what someone like Adolf Hitler said, and said often. And no coincidence.

A typical response from an ungrateful, closed-minded person. People come to Scientology not because it is popular or even glamorous, but for a different reason- a metaphysical reason. This is a concept that your type will never comprehend. You are a materialistic, down-to-earth "know-how" who can't catch a glimpse of the world beyond your nose. It is because of people like you that many do not reach their full potential. It is because of your "scepticism" that many never resolve their emotional conflicts and continue an existense in spiritual crisis. Scientology offers that which many disciplines seldom offer. It is the serum of nostalgia; a bridge if you will. It is a bridge between that what is and that what could be. You are to be very foolish to accept that all scientific dogma is they key to true knowledge. People are prone to supernatural belief, but your small mind never ceases to find ways to stop that. Your materialistic dogmas compartmentalize everything and then stifle it.

Scientology offers people a bridge between the material and the spiritual. It is the desire of the soul that fuels it. Yes, we may have started off as a cult, but have flourished as an official religion. You though, along with the rest of the ignorant masses, have been conditioned to think in chunks. For you, "cult" equals "evil," is it not?

Is it evil to provide people hope? Is it evil to provide an opportunity for moral development. If anything should be a crime, it should be your closed-mindedness.

there's actually a scientologist on this forum?

From what i've gathered, which is enough for me, any further gathering would be a waste of time really, the process of auditing, w/e it is, i assume its a way of getting over things, gaining insight into your real problems, and mentality, etc. This "auditing" is done frequently, except in the real world they are called focused psychoanalytic therapies, its a longer name, but hey, at least you save THOUSANDS of dollars with the latter, and get the same effect. Another advantage of the therapies is that upon its success your mind doesnt tell you, maybe there really is some all power numnuts that was created trillions of years ago. Whoever hubbard was, or whoever started scientology, clearly did not understand the concept of time, or maybe he did, and thought he'd trump the measley 5 billion years with trillions. I guess the more ludicrous the religious claim, the more likely people will believe it. kinda makes no sense. but you know, who cares about sense, as long as you get paid.

Not too sure about some of the stuff people say here (a bit too biased and aggressive), but I kinda get the vibe that our lives are meant to be enjoyed while mutually supporting the lives of others around us.  Very simple: I don't want my life to be dictated by those "superiors" who somehow know the key to life, but I also don't want to go rogue and selfishly ruin what people close to me have.

I also like the ideas of the universe expanding and contracting, and that we could have possibly experienced "life" an infinite amount of times prior to the present day.  Stuff like this makes me want to sit at the piano and improvise, or grab whatever I can draw with and scribble crazy stuff!

If you refer here to our dear Scientology member, and my perhaps less lovable reaction to that, I have not trouble whatsoever with people who "follow a different believe system". I try my best to treat people according to the way they treat other people. But Scientology isn't a belief system, it's a system to swindle people, and specifically set up to do so. And I despise people who actively participate in such a system. Feel free to check this out: https://www.xenu.net
