There are two distinct divisions in Scientology. The first is philosophic, the second is technical. Under the philosophic heading one discovers the ways and means of forming new ways of life and evaluating or creating standards of livingness and beingness. Scientology concludes and demonstrates certain truths. These truths might be considered to be the highest common denominators of existence itself. They have the aspect of precision observations rather than philosophic hazardings. When treated as precision observations, many results occur. When regarded as philosophic opinions, only more philosophy results.

By this knowingness alone and without processing (individual technical applications), it should be understood clearly that a new way of life could be created or an old way of life could be understood and better endured or altered.

Under the technical division we have a long series of developed processes which, applied immediately and directly to life or an organism thereof, produce desirable changes in the conditions of life. This division comprises Applied Scientology or Scientology Applied Philosophy and contains standard technology.
