In Scientology, the concept of thetan (pronounced THAY-tan, /'θeɪtən/) is similar to the concept of spirit or soul found in other belief systems. The term is derived from the Greek letter theta, which in Scientology represents "the source of life, or life itself."[1] In Scientology the Thetan, not the central nervous system, is believed to command the body through communication points.[

What is the 12th order in Scientology?
There is no "12th order" in Scientology. This is a bogus question. <a href="http://www.scientology.org">Scientology</a> is a religion formed in the early 1950's based on the works of <a href="http://www.lronhubbard.org">L. Ron Hubbard</a>, a writer and philosopher who was a hugely popular pulp fiction author in the 1930's and 40's. The Scientology religion has basic levels of progress called "grades" and those go from 0 through 4. These grades help a person learn to be more causative over his own life, in areas such as communication and handling the problems life presents. Above these grades are levels called OT levels. "OT" means "operating thetan" - a thetan is the Scientology term for a human spirit (not a mind or a body or a soul, but the person himself) and "operating" means able to operate as a spiritual being. Those OT levels go from I to VIII (currently released). There are a few more OT levels that have not yet been released. But there is no "12th Order".

What is dienetics?
Dianetics is a set of ideas and practices regarding the relationship between the spirit, mind and body that were developed by L. Ron Hubbard. According to Hubbard the word "Dianetics" is derived from the Greek διά (dia) meaning "through" and νους (nous), mind; so it literally means "through mind".[1] Hubbard wrote that mental and psychosomatic physical problems are caused by traumatic recordings called engrams that are stored in the reactive mind. The goal of Dianetics is to erase the engrams in the reactive mind to achieve the state of Clear. Once this state of "Clear" is achieved, according to Hubbard, an individual is able to function at his or her full potential. The ultimate goal is for one to reach the level Cleared Theta Clear, described by Hubbard as: "A thetan who is completely rehabilitated and can do everything a thetan should do, such as move MEST and control others from a distance, or create his own universe".[2] Dianetics is still employed and disseminated by the Church of Scientology, as reaching the state of "Clear" is a requirement to access Scientology's upper levels. The scientific community has never recognized Hubbard's "Modern Science of Mental Health" as a valid scientific theory, and it has repeatedly been dismissed in print as pseudoscience. Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science by Martin Gardner includes an entire chapter on the subject as pseudoscience.
What is the story of Scientology?
Improved Answer:A Philosopher writes and lectures about his philosophy of Life and researches more to press forwards towards achieving the goals envisioned for Life.People get interested. People try it. People find that it works for them.At 11 years old the Philosopher muses about space and how space might be formed and viewed by Life. These musings were later released as a portion of the backstory of Scientology as the 'The Factors' published by the author in 1954.In 1938 a Philosopher summarizes his studies and research in an unpublished manuscript. He says Life is trying to 'Survive'. He calls this dynamic nature of Life 'The Dynamic Principle of Existence'. He then searches urgently for exceptions to this principle for five years and finds there are none. The manuscript has been called 'Excaliber', after the grand and romantic idea of the magic sword made by Merlin called 'Excaliber' from fictional literature. All of the topics from this manuscript have been released to the public in the materials of Dianetics and Scientology.The best way to discover the story of Scientology is to read the basic books of the subject at your local library and listen to the Companion Lectures for each one if they are available to you. This is one way to follow the adventure, more or less day by day, as it unfolds.The author describes the basic qualities of Life and how a spiritual being can move from a capability to be, and then make the conscious choice 'TO BE' an individual which then realizes a 'Thetan', an individual spirit that has chosen to be and that has many very special qualities including the ability to make decisions and have opinions. All of this is quite apart from any physical manifestations that we might see in our daily lives. A Thetan has apparently nearly or completely unlimited potential.This Philosopher's Philosophy explains what there is to achieve and how one might achieve it.Again, People get interested. People try it. People find that it works for them. And a few people are critical of this. And a few people are diabolically clever with their criticism.Second Answer:Scientology is based on the belief that 75 million years ago an evil intergalactic ruler named Xenu was concerned about the mass over-population of the universe. Consequently he massacred the populations of 76 planets, froze them, and transported them to earth. On earth he put them into volcanoes and exploded them with atom bombs. However their souls or spirits - called Thetans - were blown apart and left to hover about looking for new bodies to inhabit. Thetans can move into and out of bodies at will, and now inhabit human beings. A Thetan is thus the Scientologists term for the spirit of a person.Thetans have been compulsively recording intergalactic history for several quadrillion years. Each time a Thetan inhabits a new person they bring with them all the history they have recorded. This means a person has all the memories of previous lifetimes - including lives on other planets and in other galaxies. During the course of these lifetimes evil forces implant people with engrams (motivations to hurt others), or overts (undisclosed actions). In order to become a "Clear", that is one clear of implants, a person needs to be "audited" until they reach the stage of a Top Level Operating Thetan. Auditing involves being connected to a slightly modified lie detector and being asked questions while an auditor takes notes.A Top Level Operating Thetan is considered to be a spiritually liberated person who is no longer trapped by past life memories or implants. Such people are said to have the ability to make things disappear using the power of their minds. Scientology calls this "as-isness".AnswerScientology is not a new concept. The principles that are involved have been around longer than I have. The main theme of this idea is to learn how to control, and to get your concious and subconcious mind to work together in an effort attain a more positive outlook thus attracting positive things to come your way. This same theme is called 'faith' in the bible. The earliest pioneer of this concept to my recollection is the author Norman Vincent Peale. His book, The Power of Positive Thinking sort of paved the way for all the other 'self help' books that would come later. Back in the 1980's, another author L. Ron Hubbard released his version of this and called it Dianetics where he refers to the concious/subconious mind as the active/reactive mind. There is also The Magic of Believing by Claude M. Bristol where again the same principles are expressed but just in a different way.
