Those "helpful" voices in your head are a hidden menace

"I know I can't do this," or "He couldn't be interested in someone like me," or "Damn it, what's wrong with me? Why did I say that," and even worse "I know I'll never get over this," "I'm such a dumb f**k".... Sound too familiar?

Even if you never hear this kind of thing rattling around your head, and you just sometimes think out loud or talk to yourself when you're in a tight spot, you might be surprised to find out that these "helpful" voices are actually a hidden menace too, cutting down your own drive and intelligence.

On page 107 of the new edition of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health, (released in late June/early July by David Miscavige ) L. Ron Hubbard explains how these mental "circuits" are set up and how they parasite off your own native horsepower.

Law of Affinity

Here's one of my favorite quotes from Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health.

"Man must be in affinity with Man to survive."

May sound idealistic, but it is nonetheless true. It is also a commentary on the human condition in an abberrated state (a state characterized by departure from rationality). But do you have any idea how many wars are being carried on even as I write and you read this posting?

Goes back to the reason I say Dianetics is so important, and another of my favorite quotes from this book

"Man's primary fight is not with Man: that is insanity. Man's primary fight is with those elements which oppress him as a species and bar his thrust toward high goals."

As I read these books I am once more (and continually) reminded of what a genius L. Ron Hubbard is. (and, by the way, this is the nicest book I've owned. This new edition released by David Miscavige in July along with copies of all the basic Scientology and Dianetics books and lectures from 1948 through 1956, is a delight to read!)

Dianetics Harlem

This article appeared today on CityLimits.org

Seems the news about the new Church of Scientology and Dianetics Center of Harlem is creating a lot of interest, and that's just great!

Dianetics is so effective, and so easy to learn to use, and provides so much help, I am thrilled to see it making it into the New York limelight!

The first thing many subway riders hear as they exit the subway station at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue often is, “Ma’am, do you have stress in your life?”

It's an initial hint of one newer brand of religious outreach that continues on street level – and 125th Street in particular has seen its share of street-corner religion, from mainline Protestant denominations to the Nation of Islam. The latest comer is the Church of Scientology in Harlem, which last week purchased two new properties on the street and is planning a major recruitment drive. The church is significantly enlarging its space and programming – and nearly doubling its office staff, from 43 to about 80. The church’s growth comes at time when real estate pressures have created challenges for some smaller religious institutions, but with support and financial backing from its California base, the Church of Scientology in Harlem is planning to expand.

Scientology is news because it provides so much help. And now more than ever. The Harlem church has a very active Volunteer Ministers program centered around the Scientology Handbook There is a whole new series of courses available at the Harlem church and all Scientology churches that cover the basics of Scientology making it very easy for anyone to learn them and get the help they need in life.

Dianetics and Scientology books and taped lectures. WOW, What an Experience!

I just finished reading the newly released version of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health today. What a read!

To describe L. Ron Hubbard as a genius is such an understatement. How he broke through the built-in protective mechanisms of the reactive mind to come up with this technology is an adventure story in itself (that's covered in Dianetics: the Evolution of a Science, which is a great read too!)

I learned so much about myself, I hardly know where to start.

It's funny, but as I read along I found myself feeling better and better about myself, and understanding why people react the way they do, recognizing patterns in my own life and in the lives of some of my closest friends, my sisters and my folks.

I started right on the next book (Science of Survival) and found, to my surprise, L. Ron Hubbard was still talking about Dianetics in that book! I hadn't realized it was a Dianetics book too.

I have to say that when I saw the event where David Miscavige released these books and taped lectures I was impressed, but now that I've started studying the materials I can really see why Mr. Miscavige was so excited about what has been done to restore these!

Dianetics!--The release of the Basic Books by L. Ron Hubbard

If you know a Scientologist, chances are you've already heard the buzz. Last month, David Miscavige spoke at an international event which was promoted before hand as an announcement that would change the future for Scientology forever.

May sound a bit dramatic, but when I saw the event I saw exactly why he said this.

Mr. Miscavige announced the completion of a tremendous project, to go back to the original tape recordings from which the basic books of L. Ron Hubbard were transcribed and correct the errors, restore the original edits Mr. Hubbard had made and put out the books in the exact form that LRH had always intended.

He also announced the two new publishing facilities in LA and Copenhagen that makes it possible to produce books on demand, and raises the bar on quality.

Now I've started reading the books and I can see that it is exactly as he stated!
