The broad path a Scientologist follows to spiritual enlightenment is known as the Bridge. This embodies an ancient concept—a long-envisioned route across a chasm between Man’s present state and vastly higher levels of awareness. The Bridge is comprised of gradient steps so that gains are incremental, predictable and apparent.
There are two sides to this Bridge: On one side, by receiving auditing (spiritual counseling), one reaches the highest states of awareness as a spiritual being; on the other, one studies the Axioms and principles of Scientology, learns to become a skilled auditor (from the Latin word audire, “one who listens”) and continues on the path to spiritual advancement. The spiritual freedom available through Scientology requires passage along both these paths. For while one becomes free through auditing, this must be augmented by knowledge of how to stay free. Knowing the mechanisms by which spiritual freedom can be lost is itself a freedom, and places one outside their influence. All told, then, the Bridge constitutes a route upward from the lowest states of human existence to hitherto unimagined spiritual heights. And in that respect, it represents a spiritual dream that is as old as Man himself.
