Source: http://www.rightscientology.org/For countless ages a goal of religion has been the salvage of the human soul. Man has tried by many practices to find the pathway of salvation. He has held the imperishable hope that someday in some way he would be free. Man has spoken of the second coming of Christ and of the Judgement Day. America has kept wide the doorway for this salvation by retaining religious freedom. And here, after these ages of grief and suffering, through terrible wars and catastrophe, the hope still lives—and with that hope, accomplishment. […]

Hymn of Asia
According to the introduction in the 2000 edition, “L. Ron Hubbard wrote Hymn of Asia for a Buddhist convention during the 1955-56 worldwide celebrations of the 2,500th year of the Buddhist era.” The specific prophesy he claimed to fulfill:
When he shall be seen in the West, seated in the Western fashion, his hair like flames about his noble head, discoursing, then shall the inhabitants of the Three Worlds (*) rejoice, knowing that the emancipation of all sentient beings is imminent. Then it shall be called the age of the blessed because it will become commonplace to achieve emancipation in one lifetime.” (*) The “Three Worlds” in Tibetan scripture refers to: Body (the physical world pertaining to the body and life), Speech (the “world” of communication between entities and things) and Mind (one’s own world, the world of one’s own Creation.)

Introducing Dianetics - Public Lecture Given at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles
There are many questions that have come up regarding Dianetics, some of which I will
answer here.
[…]
“Are there Catholic practitioners of Dianetics?”
We have been receiving a great many letters from persons of the Catholic faith. I know of a Catholic priest who has been having excellent success with Dianetics, and there are many others. The Catholic Church in many of its locales seems to be using Dianetics and finding no evidence that it questions the Catholic religion.“What will Dianetics do for an atheist?”
Atheism is rooted in engrams, and people who have had such engrams run out of them are no longer atheists. It does not mean that they suddenly have an abiding faith in religion. But a man who has no faith, even if it is only faith in himself, has no purpose.
The ministers and priests who have been working with Dianetics have been espousing it, and I have had no single letter from any church organization which condemned Dianetics. There is no conflict. After all, it says right in one of the tenets of Dianetics that a man seeks his potential immortality as a spirit.Dianetics does not take into consideration such a thing as a belief. A science can’t believe in something. For instance, physics never believed in Einstein, and as a result there is no conflict between the two. You will find, however, occasionally an aberrated person will feel assaulted by Dianetics and he will become very protective of his own engrams and will find some excuse to take it up. But so far there is nothing between Dianetics and religion and I hope it so continues.
