I shall attempt to provide a common sense summary of Dianetics and Scientology, after eliminating any verbosity and overblown promotion.
I think that the subject of Scientology derives its basis from thousand of years of sound observations. But any such knowledge may be perverted to serve selfish interests.
Here is a very brief look at the basic assumptions in Scientology.
Dianetics and Scientology axioms have been established on a trial and error basis. Work continues to prove or disprove them. Scientology claims that by the use of these axioms certain definite and predictable results can be obtained.
Earliest Dianetics axiom assigns a dynamic principle of existence, SURVIVE, as the lowest common denominator to everything in this universe. All animals, vegetable, and minerals are assumed to have a purpose to survive toward some end.
The urge to survive underlies all activities of life from forming a cell to possession of a central control system, which was designed to solve problems relating to food, defense, protection and means of procreation.
In surviving, the ultimate success would be immortality, and the ultimate failure would be death. In the middle would be mere existence without hope of much success and without fear of failure. There will be gradations of success above it, and gradations of failure below it. This idea is presented in Scientology in the form of a scale called TONE SCALE.
The organism acts within its environment upon information received or recorded. The mind as the central control system of the body, poses, perceives and resolves problems of survival and directs or fails to direct their execution.
The DYNAMIC is defined as the persistency of the individual in life. INTELLIGENCE is defined as the ability of the individual to resolve problems relating to survival. The Dynamic and Intelligence are two primary factors independent of each other.
PLEASURE is a perception of advance toward the ultimate goal, and PAIN is a perception of reduction of reach toward that goal. Both are necessary survival factors.
GOOD are those things that aid the dynamic drive of the individual, his family, his group, his race, or life in general. EVIL are those things, which tend to limit the dynamic thrust. Good may be defined as constructive. Evil may be defined as destructive. The perception of good and evil may be modified by the viewpoint.
HAPPINESS depends upon making, consolidating, or contemplating gains toward one's goal.
Hope this helps.

I am very interested in how scientology actually works.
