Default In scientology, how much does it cost to remove engrams from paying the huge engram c

I have been told that engrams are "bad memories". I have also heard that the engram counseling fee's are outrageous, ranging in the tens of thousands of dollars. Therefore, removal of engrams seem to be rather expensive and, for me, would be the source of many many more engrams from actually paying that much money.

The rates continue to rise. It is part of the "only the one who hurt you can make you feel better" theory, cited by many abusers.

There are multiple ways to go about and get Scientology.
1. You can do volunteer work in a church and get your services for free.
2. You can take the courses and become an Auditor your self and do all your auditing with a partner.
3. You can pay to have a professional Auditor audit you.
Honestly training is the preferred route for people to get Scientology because not only you get your Auditing done, you have get full understanding of how it works. The reason Scientology charges fees for its services is because they don't take donations in their Sunday services, they rather earn their money by delivering courses and auditing.
Fees from professional Auditing are no more expensive that going to a Psychologist (for hour). And fees for training are no more expensive than taking a course in you community college.
But if you are rich and you want to receive your Auditing while staying in a 5 star rated Scientology resort or the Scientology Cruise Ship, of course is going to cost you.

I have a very thorough answer to what Scientology is all about, but in there is nearly exact prices for auditing. Read this answer and know the truth. This is what Scientologists ACTUALLY believe:

Xenu was an alien ruler of the "Galactic Confederacy" who, 75 million years ago, brought billions of people to Earth in spacecrafts resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and blew them up with hydrogen bombs. Their souls then clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living. The alien souls continue to do this today, causing a variety of physical ill-effects in modern-day humans. L. Ron Hubbard (a science-fiction writer and the creator of Scientology) called these clustered spirits "Body Thetans," and the advanced levels in Scientology place considerable emphasis on isolating them and neutralizing their ill effects.

To rid ourselves of "Body Thetans" and also ?engrams? (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind) so that we can become ?clear?, we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the ?church? who uses an "e-meter" to measure our ?reactive mind?...... and we have to pay lots and lots and lots of money for ?auditing? (purchased in 12.5-hour blocks, costing anywhere from $750 for introductory sessions to between $8,000 and $9,000 for advanced sessions) and to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher ?levels? in the ?church?. The ?church? has also taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry and psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional in everyday life. They deny the reality of chemical imbalance and profound mental disturbance and accordingly do NOTHING to effectively stabilize the dangerously unstable. The ?church? has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from member (with deadly results).

Scientology is undeniably a cult. Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following five characteristics:

(1) It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate and retain its members [convincing potential members that they are unhappy and Scientology is the only means of helping themselves]. (2) It forms an elitist totalitarian society. [they label everyone who disagrees or questions as a ?Suppressive Person? and requires members to ?disconnect? from them] (3) Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma. [Yes, that would be Hubbard] (4) It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people. (5) Its wealth does not benefit its members or society. [self evident proof for 4 & 5 as it does milk members for virtually everything they have and it?s wealth dozen?t find it?s way back to it?s members or society at all]

Cults are extremely harmful. To remain within the strict mental and social confines of a cult for even a short time can have the following disastrous effects:

Loss of choice and free will. Diminished intellectual ability, vocabulary and sense of humor. Reduced use of irony, abstractions and metaphors. Reduced capacity to form flexible and intimate relationships. Poor judgment. Physical deterioration. Malnutrition. Hallucinations, panic, dissociation, guilt, identity diffusion and paranoia. Neurotic, psychotic or suicidal tendencies.
