Dr. Berg answers questions about Scientology and his personal beliefs. Read Dr. Berg’s response to an interview related to Scientology.
Are you a Scientologist?
Yes. I have been a Scientologist for 30 years. My whole life has been searching for wisdom. This search led me to discover Scientology in 1993. It’s the same drive for truth that has fueled my work in health and wellness.
What does the word Scientology mean?
Sure, the term actually comes from scio which means "knowledge" and the Greek logos - I believe its Greek. Essentially the word means "Study of Knowledge".
What have you donated Scientology for?
I donate to an educational campaign called The Truth About Drugs, run by the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, a non-religious, non-profit that is sponsored by the Church of Scientology. More than 3.4 million children around the world have pledged to be “Drug-Free Marshals,” sending a positive message to their friends and communities.
Why don’t you ever mention Scientology in your videos?
It’s not appropriate. My health channel is about health, not my philosophy or religion. I respect other people’s viewpoints, no matter their faith or lack of it. People can believe and have whatever viewpoint they wish.
What made you look into Scientology, a subject so controversial to say the least?
In my first associate job in the early 90s, the lead doctor told me, whatever you do, don’t ever get into Scientology, it’s weird, it’s a cult, they will take all your money, you’ll go bankrupt, and end up getting a divorce. That was interesting because that doctor WAS going broke, filing for bankruptcy, AND getting a divorce. His comments made me want to look into the subject even more.
You tell me NOT to look, I will look. So I decided to check it out – ordered Mr. Hubbard’s book about study and learning, and started reading it.
I learned that memorization is not learning, and this gave me some great information on how to actually learn something without memorizing it. It allowed me to quickly understand a lot of detailed information.. In the past I would just "memorize" something and forget about it.
Why do people attack Scientology?
It’s pretty much what’s happening right now. Certain groups are twisting the truth to make all sorts of people look unethical, racist, you name it. As soon as Mr. Hubbard’s book “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health” came out in the 50s, the attacks came rolling out. Ever since that point, you have every governmental agency on the planet trying to wipe out Scientology – why? Because it helps people. It’s strange that “help” is attacked. But Scientology did survive.
If you want to really know about Scientology, you can either read a book "Dianetics" or go to official Scientology website - scientology.org
