Answer 1

Watch out for answers from disciples of cult religions; they are after your soul!



In psychology, introspection means to talk about your feelings and thoughts; usually in response to some questions set for you so that the analyst/researcher can get you to focus on what the particular aims might be.



I would venture to guess that the scientologists will be asking you to define your early feelings and desires; your family relationships and love life.



I have picked those topics because, if I wanted to exploit any personal weaknesses you might have, I would use such a method to get you to freely divulge what causes you most emotional distress and then promise you that you could have your heart's desire of whatever (let's say girlfriends).



Then some girl will be assigned to "encourage" your feelings and when you are hooked - reel you in.



However, it's your life and nobody can make your decisions for you. If you want the Scientology treatment, that I would not try to intervene with. If you are searching for spiritual guidance, listen to your heart. Does it tell you to follow a particular religion? If not, check out a fw books at the library before you end up getting brainwashed by any cult!

A rundown is a series of actions designed to handle a certain part of a person's case. It always has a specific end phenomena which signals the end of the rundown.



The Introspection Rundown is a breakthrough made by Ron Hubbard in 1973. It's purpose is to locate and correct those things which cause a person to fixate his attention inwardly on himself or his mind. The rundown extroverts a person to he can se and handle ies environment better.

First, rundown is a series of steps or procedures that all lead to a goal that is defined. I don't have exact data about Introspection Rundown, so I am not going to talk rubbish like Dr. Bob who answered the same question somewhere else till I get them. All I can is to explain what a rundown is - for now. A series of steps and/or procedures that are done as a program to achieve something. There are many rundowns in Scientology and one of them is Purification Rundown the purpose of which is detoxication of your body. The different steps you do are: taking exact amounts of vitamins, minerals, lecithin, cold pressed oil, raw vegetables, running and sauna. There is much more details but - briefly - this is Purification Rundown - program the purpose of which is to detox your body which affects positively your thinking as well. You do different detox methods in Yoga too.



Well, Dr. Bob says complete nonsense - from the first letter to the last - pure rubbish and I don‘t want to go over all the nonsense he says but let me just mention one fraction of Hubbard’s career and success as sci-fi writer (he wrote also many other genres but these are not mentioned at all by people who want you to believe he was ONLY sci-fi writer who made everything up; why to bother to mention westerns, thrillers, adventures etc.).



“The internationally bestselling Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000, for example, not only stands as the largest single volume of science fiction to date, but among the most honored. In addition to both the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films’ Golden Scroll and Saturn Awards, the work has earned Italy’s Tetradramma D’Oro Award (in recognition of the story’s inherent message of peace) and a special Gutenberg Award as an exceptional contribution to the genre. Similarly honored was the ten-volume Mission Earth series, each topping international bestseller lists in what amounted to a publishing phenomenon and cumulatively earning both the Cosmos 2000 Award from French readers and Italy’s Nova Science Fiction Award. Then again, one could cite all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the model author in many a university – very much including the L. Ron Hubbard wing of Moscow University’s Gorky Library – and all else he represents to modern fiction as a whole: “...one of the most prolific and influential writers of the twentieth century,” to quote critic and educator Stephen V. Whaley.”

Answer 4

No idea.



Of course the whole Scientology thing doesn't make sense in the first place, since Hubbard made it all up based on a failed science fiction idea, just to prove he could create a religion.
