Scientology in Dublin, Ireland — Personnel Efficiency & the Solution to Poverty

Scientology in Dublin, Ireland -- where L. Ron Hubbard originally developed the Personnel Efficiency Course, so as to improve the prosperity and worth of the working individual.

As a part of Blog Action Day, I found it fit to mention our Church of Scientology in Dublin, Ireland.   As the theme of this Blog Action day is poverty, it’s only fitting to bring up the location where L. Ron Hubbard developed and delivered the Personnel Efficiency course — a course designed to take the average working man or woman, and immediately increase their ability to communicate and be effective in their work place or their home.

Based around many of the simplicities you find in the Scientology beginning book, The Problems of Work: Scientology Applied to the Workaday World, this course made use of testing and simple basics of communication, confusion and the stable datum, and the tone scale to raise anyone’s effectiveness and happiness in their daily work.

The Church of Scientology Mission of Dublin continues this tradition, offering all of the basic services of Scientology to the people of Dublin.  Get directions to Scientology Churches in Ireland here.

I bring this up as part of the Blog Action Day theme, as whilst the answer to poverty does in some cases involve the bringing of aid and donation of money and goods to those in need, it is many times more effective in the long run to increse the effectiveness, productivity and purpose of the individual himself — as that then opens the door to a long-term handling of poverty.  Learning to organize, to educate, and to find something useful for his fellow man to do and to get them to it — this in itself is a much more real and lasting solution to poverty.

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers of West Bengal, India provided seminars to some of the Santhal tribes in the neighboring state of Bihar.

So, it’s this technology that I would most rather see applied to be able to overcome the troubles that affect poverty-stricken nations.  In many cases a full solution to their problems will start with a number of people getting themselves trained up on technology like you see being made available for free at the Scientology Volunteer Ministers On-Line Training center, where one can learn to be more effective, efficient, and a faster learner, and at no cost at all.

But the bottom line, is that springing from our center in Dublin is a technology that — if applied — can result in solutions to poverty for anyone.

Church of Scientology of the Foothills in Montrose, CA

The Church of Scientology Mission of the Foothills in Montrose, CA, recently put up their new website at http://www.scientology-montrose.org.  It’s a beautiful site, from a beautiful region.  Just try putting in their address (Montrose, CA)  in to Google Earth, or check out their Google Maps-enable contact page, and you’ll see that it’s a hilly, but busy region in Southern California — and yet another location badly in need of LRH Technology.

Scientology Missions all over South Africa

Ever since the Grand Opening of the Central Church of Scientology of South Africa in Johannesburg in 2003 (with Mr. David Miscavige as keynote speaker for the event), the Church there has been taking an ever-increasing role in terms of responsibility to the community as well as for expanding Scientology activities throughout the continent.

Of note recently:

31 March: The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour, working in Maun, Botswana, work with government, civic and community leaders to make the technology of L. Ron Hubbard broadly available.

21 June: Drug-Free Marshals and East Wave FM teamed up and visited some of the primary school in Lenasia, South Africa. Their purpose was to provide a message about the life-ruining dangers of drugs and to hand out information fliers about the effects of drugs like dagga (cannabis), cocaine, mandrax (a synthetic drug that is highly addictive), alcohol, heroin and ecstasy.

Scientology Missions Opening Up All over Bay Area Due to new Scientology Church

Shortly after keynote speaker David Miscavige cut the ribbon at the new Church of Scientology of San Francisco (located in the famed original Transamerica Building in downtown San Francisco), new Scientology groups and activities started popping up all over the Bay Area.

Of note, there was the Petaluma Scientology Mission which opened up, as well as other ones further out like the Scientology mission in Chico, etc.

Along with various efforts in Education and drug rehab it just shows that some dedicated people in a fantastic building like what Scientologists put together in San Francisco, can do some pretty amazing things.

Scientology Mission of East Toronto

Recently opened in the Toronto metro area was the East Toronto Mission. Toronto has had a steadily expanding field of Scientologists in the area over the past several years, and is the center of Scientology activities in Canada. The Church of Scientology of Toronto, which is the center of this activity, is renovating its Yongue St. location, to better provide Scientology services to the many people in the area who are reaching for it. The Church of Scientology of Buffalo, only a hundred or so miles to the south, did a similar cycle of renovations in 2003. After their Grand Opening (with Mayor Anthony Masielo and Mr. David Miscavige Speaking), they over doubled their outreach efforts – an activity Toronto could use as well.

This Scientology mission in East Toronto recently held its grand opening, which was attended by civic leaders and dignitaries from the area, who welcomed the church and the programs it will bring to the area in terms of drug rehabilitation, education programs, and Scientology services.
