The Components of Understanding

One of the basic tools of knowledge that not only Scientology Volunteer Ministers can use but which anyone can use to help other people and also get along better in life is called the A.R.C. triangle. There is a booklet called "The Components of Understanding", which based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics and Scientology, that explains this concept and how one can use it to help people for real. Anyone can obtain this booklet and learn some the basics of how the A.R.C. Triangle works.

The Dynamics of Existence

Ever wonder what might motivate someone to be a Scientology Volunteer Minister or volunteer to help out one's fellow man in any way one can? There is a specific reason you know - probably best understood within the subject of the Dynamics of Existence. This is probably best stated on the web page that describes the booklet entitled: The Dynamics of Existence, which says: "You have seen the mad men that live in this world, people taking drugs, marriages falling apart and war. How do these things affect you and your world? This is not just a matter of 'somewhere over there' as these factors effect your life and your future." I know that with me, with some understanding of this concept, I was able to get a new prospective on the value of helping others. This booklet, which is based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, is really designed to help anyone do better in life.

Children

One of the most rewarding jobs I ever had was to be a professional tutor and 2nd Grade Elementary School teaching assistant back in the early 1990s. When working with children in the 6 to 8 year age group it can be very rewarding and there are some definite tools that are very workable in dealing with children. There is a wonderful booklet, based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard, which provides a lot of the basics of working with children and has some wonderful insightful information about children.

The Technology of Study

There is a great booklet that anyone can buy for $5.00 that covers some of the most basic aspects of the Study Technology that was developed by L. Ron Hubbard. The Technology of Study presented in that booklet is just one of the basic tools that a Scientology Volunteer Minister uses to help people do better in life. You can get more details about the Technology of Study from this informative booklet.

Helping People Everyday

One thing that may not be realized is that Scientology Volunteer Ministers don't just help people in disaster situations but also help people handle daily life problems. Some of the activities I've actually done to help people include: helping an illiterate adult friend learn how to read using L. Ron Hubbard's Study Technology, organized a Neighborhood Watch in my community to help keep my neighbors safe and provided advice to a business client to help her improve her business using basic Scientology administrative principles.

So being a Scientology Volunteer Minister is not just about providing disaster relief, it's about helping people in their day to day lifes so that they can do just a little bit better than they were before.

Disasters Relief in Australia

Recently at the end of March 2006, our Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Brisbane and Sydney were in Innisfail, Queensland, helping bring disaster relief to the people most affected by Cyclone Larry, which was the strongest cyclone ever to make land fall on Australia’s shores. We worked with many other individuals, local officials and relief groups in order to provide assistance to help people repair their homes, to help those left homeless and to provide relief for the trauma that remain in the wake of this major storm.

Helping No Matter What

The relief effort that was put forward in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 was the largest we Scientology Volunteer Ministers had done so far up to that point. It involved over 1,000 individual Volunteer Ministers and included many non-Scientologists who just wanted the opportunity to help and who were trained up to do so. As the relief effort continued, more and more Volunteer Ministers continued to come to the U.S. gulf coast area from around the U.S. to help and eventually we manned up as many as 38 shelters in our relief operations. We did everything we could to help where it was needed most. Here are some more pictures of some of the wonderful work we did. I was so proud of our guys in the yellow shirts. They did great!

French Scientologists Helping In India

I just read an amazing account about a team of French Scientologists, who traveled to Pondicherry, India after the tsunamis in December 2004 and who have stayed there to work with the community to help the local people of the affected area. It really is an inspiring story of caring individuals helping their fellow man. You can read more about the story of these Scientology Volunteer Ministers here. Good reading and very inspiring.
