Dianetics and Scientology Books

<sup>In 2007 all the basic Dianetics and Scientology books and lectures of L. Ron Hubbard were re-published in beautiful new editions. It was discovered the material had been altered in many cases, and this has now all been put straight, and the books are easier to read than ever. The story of how this happened, how the books were corrected and excerpts from many of the lectures is all available online now on the new Scientology web site, which has several international Scientology events including the 2007 event where David Miscavage announces the Golden Age of Knowledge.

DIANETICS: UNDERSTANDING THE MIND

From Scientology.org

The Dianetics symbol uses the Greek letter delta as its basic form. The green stripes stand for growth, the yellow stripes are for life.

The four green stripes represent the four subdivisions of Man's urge to survive which are delineated in Dianetics.

Dianetics: dia (Greek) through, nous (Greek) mind or soul.

To understand exactly how Scientology is used, something should be known of the track of research L. Ron Hubbard traveled and the antecedent of Scientology—Dianetics.

Dianetics is a methodology which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress).

It is most accurately described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.

Prior to 1950, prevailing scientific thought had concluded Man’s mind to be his brain, i.e., a collection of cells and neurons and nothing more. Not only was it considered that Man’s ability could not be improved, but it also was believed that with the formation of his cerebral cortex, his personality was likewise irrevocably established. These theories were, however, inaccurate and as a consequence science has never evolved a workable theory of the mind nor a means to resolve problems of the mind.

L. Ron Hubbard changed all that with Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. Its publication in 1950 marks a watershed in the history of Man’s quest for a true understanding of himself.

Like Scientology, Dianetics rests on basic principles, easily learned, clearly demonstrated as true and every bit as valid today as when they were first released in 1950.

In this portion of the website, you will become familiar with the basic concepts of Dianetics and how it works, the goal of Dianetics, and an understanding of the state of “Clear.”

Dianetics in Hualien, Taiwan: the Navigator Dianetics Group

Along the east coast of Taiwan lies the port of Hualien, a city of concealed contrasts. On the surface, it’s a fertile plain bounded by the Chungyang Mountains and reminiscent of a China of ancient and imperial composure. But look deeper and there stands a post-industrial Taiwan, which has paid the price of material gain with broken lives and crushed spirits.

In his book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, L. Ron Hubbard wrote, You are beginning an adventure. Treat is as an adventure. And may you never be the same again.

Entering the workforce straight from high school, Yu-Wen Hsu was fast on the road to occupational burnout. Then she discovered Dianetics and instinctively knew she’d found her true career calling.

Yu-Wen immediately trained as an auditor. Auditor means one who listens, from the Latin audire meaning “to hear or listen.” An auditor is a person trained and qualified in applying auditing, Scientology and Dianetics counseling, to individuals for their betterment. She then started her own Dianetics Group, calling it “Navigator,” a word conveying her purpose to help guide the Taiwanese people through the din of Hualien’s workaday world.

Her living room served as headquarters where she reached out to friends and former colleagues. Then came books to new readers and personality tests (Oxford Capacity Analysis, or OCA Tests) filled out right on her coffee table. That’s also where she held Hualien’s first Dianetics seminar and co-audit. A co-audit is “cooperative auditing,” in which two people learn how to audit, and audit each other.

Those who stepped on board became the backbone of the navigator staff, and with her team in place they advanced into the heart of Hualien’s business district. They placed posters in shop windows along Jung Yuan Road and distributed handbills up and down Suyida Jai and Chi Sin Tan Streets. They sold books along every side street from the Yenpin Temple to Beibin Park. Yu-Wen also printed open invitations for OCA testing in the pages of the Gun-Sun Daily News to 50,000 more.

The result was a flood of people that quickly outstretched her living room. That’s when the Navigator team opened their New Knowledge of Life Center, where they could accommodate better than 50 people at a time.

Offering a weekly Dianetics seminar filled to capacity public went right into auditing each other using Dianetics—from the bank teller who’d suffered a series of losses, now able to move beyond her grief, to the salesman who rid himself of chronic terror crippling his career, word spread farther by the week.

Taiwan’s shaman healers were more than a little interested in how to handle psychosomatic ills when they were introduced to Book One at the Wung Gu Temple.

Response to a lecture for executives and staff of the nation’s largest insurance company was so positive that the human resources manager called for follow-up training.

With word of mouth also spreading along the academic grapevine, You-Wen was the guest of honor at Tzu-Chi Buddhist College for a workshop and lecture at the nursing college on Preventive Dianetics.

Future guidance counselors at National Taitung University were taught Dianetics theory, followed by a student-to-student co-audit. Yu-Wen then took Dianetics to the famed Hualien Tourism and Hospitality College, where she addressed 600 members of the student body.

Then for one more zone of Hualien society in dire need of Dianetics, at Hualien’s district Detention Center Yu-Wen laid out the fundamentals of Dianetics to the Director of Corrections, who opened the doors for a Dianetics seminar and inmate co-audit.

On the flip side of the law enforcement equation, Dianetics wasn’t just a hit with the Shin-Cheng District Police, it was front-page news in the Eastern Daily Newspaper, which proclaimed, “Dianetics reduces police pressures.”

Yu-Wen Hsu and her ‘Navigator’ Group are bringing Dianetics to every sector of Hualien society.

With Navigator now guiding whole sectors of the regional population, Yu-Wen saturated the rest of her city with word about Dianetics through the media—on the “Wisdom Treasure Box Show” on Happy Radio FM 98.3, the “Fashion Top Party” show on Top Radio 89.7, and the popular morning television program, “Hotline Talking Show” on CATV.

What began with one Dianetics auditor has swelled to a full-fledged grassroots movement in Hualien, benefiting the 203,490 people now introduced to Dianetics.

In his book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, L. Ron Hubbard wrote, “You are beginning an adventure. Treat is as an adventure. And may you never be the same again.” Yu-Wen Hsu and her Navigator Dianetics Group are bringing this adventure to the people of their city.

Dianetics in Mali, Making Life Better

A Dianetics group in the West African nation of Mali uses Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health to make a real difference in peoples lives

With Dianetics now translated into 50 languages, people in every corner of the globe are reading the book and using it, to help themselves and others. A Dianetics group in the West African nation of Mali is making good use of the book in French.

“Dianetics” means “what the soul is doing to the body through the mind,” and the book, Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health is a handbook of Dianetics procedure.

Using that book as a text, the Mali Dianetics Group sets up seminars, workshops and study groups in Bamako and Timbuktu, and trains people from all walks of life. The group reaches out with this technology, developed by L. Ron Hubbard. And it really changes lives.

In their seminars and workshops, people gain first hand experience with Dianetics. Those attending these training sessions team up with each other and use what they learn to help one another. And their gains are often spectacular.

One example is the story of a man who came to the group for help. Someone had robbed him at gunpoint, stealing his money, papers and phone. Since that time he could hardly sleep at night. He became nervous and depressed, which cut across his ability to live and work. As time went by and he continued to suffer from this, he became despondent. He came to the Dianetics group hoping for some relief. After one Dianetics session, he was no longer afraid. He could walk through the streets where this robbery happened without fear. He could talk about the experience without getting upset, which he could not do at all before.

Dianetics on Human Rights Day

<sup>Equality, Freedom, Opportunity. All the things that are the keynotes of human rights. But without a science of the mind that works, each of us in the human family are deprived of these rights by our own limitations and irrationality. To really fulfill the promise of human rights requires understanding yourself and being able to help yourself and others.

Plus, who but the insane would rob people of their rights, subject them to torture, indignity, poverty and death.

And if insanity can really be overcome, then human rights can indeed become a fact.

Scientology Course on the Human Mind Delivered in Romania

With interest high in Scientology and Dianetics a course called “The Anatomy of the Human Mind” met with great success in Timisoara, Romania.

The publication last fall of 9 Scientology and Dianetics books in Romanian has ignited tremendous interest in the subject of the human mind. Add to that the presence in the country of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers European Goodwill Tour, and demand for Scientology and Dianetics courses was inevitable.

In answer to the many requests for more information, a course was presented called “The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.” It was held in the city of Timisoara, Romania to a packed house and covered basic concepts of the Scientology religion. The course was based on a series of lectures first delivered by Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard in December 1960 and January 1961.

The course contains a precise description of the mind, how the mind works, its components, and its relationship to the individual. It addresses such things as improving memory, how past instances of pain and painful emotion affect one’s life in the present and how to eradicate these ill effects.

Copies of the original lectures by L. Ron Hubbard are available in English and 15 other languages through New Era Publications Incorporated in Europe and Bridge Publications for the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania.

Church of Scientology of Malmo Introducing People to Dianetics

Staff and volunteers of the Church of Scientology of Malmö take to the streets to share the good news about Dianetics with their community

Malmö-Since its grand opening in April, staff and members of the Church of Scientology of Malmö have been introducing their neighbors in the greater Malmö area to Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health, and its potential for bringing about important reforms and improvements in the city.

First published in May 1950, this perennial bestseller has even more relevance today than it did 59 years ago. And nowhere more so than in the greater Malmö area.

The people of Malmö face enormous challenges. According to one recent article, unemployment in the Rosengaard district of the city is 70 percent, crime affects one of every three Malmö families each year and the number of rapes has tripled over the past 20 years.

The first step in changing any situation is understanding the underlying causes of the problem. In addition to revealing why people act the way they do and how to dramatically improve the quality of life on a one-on-one basis, Dianetics also “embraces the conditions and processes of leadership and intergroup relations,” explaining how groups, cultures and even nations become irrational. It goes on to state, “There is no national problem in the world today which cannot be resolved by reason alone.”

L. Ron Hubbard wrote Dianetics so that anyone could read it and easily learn techniques to help people overcome the most unwanted conditions in their lives. In addition to making this book broadly available, the Church of Scientology of Malmö offers Dianetics Seminars courses and profession training at its new headquarters at Sockerbruksgatan 2, Arlöv, 23 235 Malmö.

For more information, contact the Church of Scientology of Malmö or visit the Dianetics web site.

Dianetics Again

I'm reading Dianetics again, for the second time in a few months. Utterly amazing how much more I get out of it each time I read it.

I was so happy when David Miscavige released the new edition and basically told every Scientologist that their highest priority is to read the books. I've always been a book reader, but sometimes I felt like I was the only one. Now "everyone" is doing it. But this is a fad that makes everyone more an individual!

If you haven't gotten your Scientology and Dianetics Basics, check out the Bridge web site. You can order them online!

New Video Website at Dianetics.org

In celebration of the 58th anniversary of the release of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the Church of Scientology has now launched a new and interactive portal at Dianetics.org for access to testimonials, videos, excerpts, home extension courses, and all information regarding Dianetics. The launch is also supported by a national television advertising campaign. By doing so, the Church of Scientology is able to provide expansive and enlightening information to those who have questions about Dianetics.

What is Dianetics?

The culmination of decades of research, L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics The Modern Science of Mental Health" was released on May 9, 1950. The Dianetics book was an immediate best seller, hitting the NY Times Best Seller List where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks. It sparked a movement which today spans the globe. Further, the principals and techniques of Dianetics laid the groundwork for the Scientology religion.

Dianetics Success

I've been talking to lots of my friends who are studying the Scientology and Dianetics basic books and lectures and the wins they are having are totally cool. Makes sense, cuz that's the kind of wins I'm having too. L. Ron Hubbard was an utter genius, and I'm so glad David Miscavige put the time and manpower into getting these materials published—that are making so much difference in the lives of just about anyone I know who's read them.

Bookathon is Back

This weekend is the next Dianetics bookathon, and everyone is getting ready!

The last one was intense. Incredible competition between Scientology churches and missions for which group was going to get more Dianetics books into the hands of people in their communities than anyone else.

New York has been in the lead most bookathons. But this year it was the surprising Bitza Mission of Moscow that won.

Every time I watch TV or read a magazine or newspaper I am struck by how much people are in need of Dianetics. There isn't anyone I've met yet who doesn't have something about their life that is dragging them down, and which they are really missing a way to remedy. And the work L. Ron Hubbard did that resulted in his release of Dianetics has saved more lives than I can count.

I am thrilled with the quality of the book now and I so appreciate the Mr. David Miscavige did to ensure these books are exactly as LRH intended.

And I'm really looking forward to this weekend's bookathon! We're going to WIN!

Thanks to L. Ron Hubbard, we have a technology anyone can use to

Intro to Dianetics video

I watched the introduction video on the Dianetics site again tonight. I was impressed by how much of the theory of Dianetics they were able to include in such a short video clip -- only 4 minutes long. And it's visually really compelling. Shows in images what it could take pages to explain in text. That's the beauty of video.

What a fantastic new site, to let people know about Dianetics!

I love the first video -- an overview of what Dianetics is and how it works.

And the testimonials of people who have experienced wins through Dianetics auditing are really worth watching and listening to.

I've had a lot of people ask me for more information on Dianetics. I'm really pleased with the upgrade of this site so I can send people there to watch the videos so they get the information they're looking for.

The site was launched to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the publishing of Mr. Hubbard's book -- May 9th marking that date.

Dianetics and Scientology Books Donated to Philippines Library

The Scientology Volunteer Ministers Goodwill Tour in the Philippines donated a full set of Dianetics and Scientology books to the Cebu City Rizal Library and Museum. An article in the Philippines Sun Star points out:

The major purpose of the Scientology Volunteer Minister Goodwill Tour is to share the knowledge developed by their founder to improve the people’s conditions in life. The books contain comprehensive and substantial information on the way to happiness, and the development of human ability and how to handle life at all times. “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,” which is a bestseller for more than half a century already was written by the founder of Scientology. It is the first book about the human mind that has been translated in more than 50 languages.
It also lets readers know that there is free disaster relief training available at the Volunteer Ministers tent.

It's in the section under "Scientologty beliefs." You can navigatge to it by going to "Beliefs and Practices" and clicking on "Basic Principles of Scientology." It's the video furthest to the right.

Amazing! Scientology Videos Online!

I could hardly believe it when I heard about this new Scientology site. The addition of videos to it brings it right up to the cutting edge of the Internet.

What can I say. It now speaks totally for itself!

A religion for the 21st century: Scientology

Great story about Dianetics and Scientology in the North County Times!

What We Believe: The Church of Scientology

By: RUTH MARVIN WEBSTER - Staff Writer
Questions of faith and religion aren't usual topics of Hollywood buzz. Drug use, infidelity, weight and cosmetic surgical procedures are.But any tidbit about the Church of Scientology or its high-profile celebrity believers seem to be the exception, attracting attention at every turn.

First there was the controversy in Germany, which in December declared Scientology unconstitutional and banned it. Then there was the release of Andrew Morton's unauthorized biography of actor Tom Cruise, which coincided with the broadcast of a nine-minute video of Cruise extolling the virtues of the faith, viewed by millions of people around the world before it was pulled from YouTube.

But more than material for late-night talk hosts, the Church of Scientology is the belief system of more than 3.5 million Americans, including more than 18,000 people in the San Diego area, according to Dave Meyer, president of the Church of Scientology of San Diego.

Scientology has been called by some the only major new religion to emerge in the 20th century with no heritage from any mainstream Judeo-Christian faiths. Nor is it connected with the churches of Christian Science or Religious Science. Others, however, say Scientology is not a religion because of its methods, including the practice of charging for some of its services.

'We so respect him'

Scientology grew out of a best-selling book called "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," published in 1950. The book includes a concept of God expressed as the urge toward existence as infinity or the supreme being.

The author of "Dianetics" was L. Ron Hubbard, a filmmaker, aviator, adventurer, photographer, philosopher and expert mariner. The founder of the Church of Scientology, he is considered a genius by his followers.

Among those followers are Kathy and Ed Marsh of Escondido. The library in their guesthouse is home to thousands of first edition and signed volumes, many written by Hubbard. The room also contains pieces of Hubbard memorabilia that Ed Marsh, a Scientologist since 1969, has collected over the years, such as a package of Hubbard's favorite Kool cigarettes and his early aviator helmet.

But Scientology is not about worshipping Hubbard, said Meyer, who has been the president of the Church of Scientology of San Diego for the last two years.

"We so respect him (Hubbard) for his deeds and accomplishments ... and for his caring factor," said Meyer.>>

Clear and Aesthetics

One of my favorite quotes from the Dianetics book goes as follows:

The glory and color of childhood vanishes as one progresses into later years. But the strange part of it is that htis glamour and beauty and sensitivity to life are not gone. They are encysted. one of the most remarkable experiences a Clear has is to find, in the process of therapy, that he is recovering appreciation of beauty in the world.

Scientology Basics - Major Breakthrough.

<sup>The release of the Scientology Basic Books and Lectures is a monumental breakthrough. Scientologists all over the world are obtaining and using these materials, resulting in huge success in life.

These materials are for everyone. Find information on them on this site.</sup>

The Scientology Basics

The Scientology Basics books and lectures package, including the recently released version of Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health, can be purchased from Bridge Publications.

This package is the basic foundation on which all else is built in the Scientology religious movement. Having and using the materials has resulted in tremendous wins and success stories from Scientologists all over the world.

Everyone needs this.

The Scientology Basics

<sup>The recently released Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health book was fascinating to read, I was riveted to it all the way through. For the first time I have a complete understanding of this vital technology.

I am on the book Science of Survival now, which is a total pleasure to read. My understanding of the different levels of the tone scale and how people manifest them is much higher.

I have noticed that reading these books has increased my understanding of myself and my own life as well, so my control and capabilities are steadily increasing.

Mr. David Miscavige has accomplished a tremendous achievement releasing the Basics of Scientology.</sup>

What is the Scope of Dianetics?

L. Ron Hubbard began the Dianetics book with a chapter titled "The Scope of Dianetics" with one of the most famous quotations of this book—one of my favorites:

"A science of mind is a goal which has engrossed thousands of generations of Man. Armies, dynasties and whole civilizations have perished for the lack of it. Rome went to dust for the want of it. China swims in blood for the need of it. And down in the arsenal is an atom bomb, its hopeful nose full-armed in ignorance of it."

Dianetics is just such a science of the Mind, and with the June release, by David Miscavige, of the new editions of all basic Dianetics & Scientology books and lectures, it has really come into its own.

And none too soon. The condition of our world is, if anything, far worse than that of 1950. Because added to the threat of nuclear annihilation, we have also managed in the intervening 57 years to destroy our environment, wipe out countless species, and invent or fail to contain (depending on whether you are a conspiracy theorist or not) AIDS, which is causing a genocide in Third World countries.

Anyone unwilling to simply stand by and watch this continue down at the breakneck speed at which it is traveling would do well to read Dianetics.

Dianetics Boston

I was happy to see Dianetics Boston promoting the film Dianetics the Evolution of a Science. It's a very well made, entertaining short film, that packs such an incredible message.

Dianetics is so simple yet so powerful, literally anyone who can read can pick it up and in a matter of hours learn how to help someone else and get help him/herself in return.


^{The primary step in resolving the broad activities of man could be considered to be the resolving of the activities of the mind itself.— L. Ron Hubbard -- Scientology founder}

Dianetics and Emotion

It wasn't until I got well into Science of Survival in my study of the Scientology and Dianetics Basics that I realized how much this book follows on from Dianetics. Of course it would be obvious to anyone who looked at it, but I'd never read these books in chronological sequence before, and although Science of Survival has long been one of my favorite books, I didn't see that it had such an intimate relationship with Dianetics.

I had always wondered what it was that caused some people to pick up the mannerisms of others and act a bit like their own version of someone -- usually of one of their parents or the leader of their group or the boss at work, It puzzled me that they would sound like this person and move like him, etc. In reading one of the chapters in this book, not only did I understand this but I realized what can be done to help a person be himself and why that's important from a perspective a spiritual gains.

And one other point about these materials--when I heard David Miscavige describe the care that went into restoring these books to their original intended content I was impressed by all the work and care that went into it. But when I started reading Science of Survival that turned into awe, not just for the work Mr. Miscavige and the Sea Organization put into doing this (the religious order of the Scientology religion) but for Ron. I always loved this book, but now it is incredible how easy it is to understand and how much I'm getting out of it. I look forward to the time I get to study my books every day.

Feeling Grumpy?

Ever feel grumpy for no good reason?

I used to have a friend who was just not worth talking to before 10:30 in the morning. In fact I learned that if I wanted to avoid a nasty fight it was best to pretend I didn't know her until noon. When I forgot to carry that out I was always sorry.

It wasn't till I read Dianetics that I finally understood what was going on with her. It's really simple, actually. But you have to read the book to get it. (And, by the way, for anyone who read the book before wait till you read the new edition, released last month by David Miscavige as part of the Scientology Basics. It's SO much easier to read with the way they have typeset and presented it. And the glossary is fabulous).

I see people getting into fights sometimes and wonder what my life would be like without having read this book. It's such a relief to understand simple things like that. Makes me feel so much more stable.

Dianetics

<sup>Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health has been released with the rest of the Basic Books and Lectures of L. Ron Hubbard. This book is intensely interesting and the technology given in it unquestionably is needed by every person.

Mr. David Miscavige is greatly appreciated for his care and hard work in making these materials available.</sup>

Where Did the Joy Go?

Here's something that really struck me while reading Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health (the new edition released last month by David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center).

"The glory and color of childhood vanishes as one progresses into later years. But the strange part of it is that this glamour and beauty and sensitivity to life are not gone. They are encysted. One of the most remarkable experiences a Clear has is to find, in the process of therapy, that he is recovering appreciation of the beauty in the world."

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!

Idi Amin - What Motivates Such a Man?

Congratulations to Forest Whitaker on his Oscar.

What drives a man to the level of cruelty and savagery of Idi Amin? Without an understanding of the Reactive Mind, seeing someone act as he did could confirm one's distrust in his fellow man and make one believe that man's basic nature is evil.

Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health is an important book to read, to understand what drives a man like that.

The primary step in resolving the broad activities of man could be considered to be the resolving of the activities of the mind itself.— L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology 0-8

Great story about the Baton Rouge Mission in the Advocate.com today. Googled it in Google News:

The volunteer ministers the Church of Scientology brings to respond to disasters come out of many walks of life.

Dentists, office managers, roofers and the actress who gives voice to Bart Simpson all donned the church’s bright yellow T-shirts and went to work.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, about 1,000 volunteer ministers from across the United States and Canada came to Louisiana in clusters of about 300 at any given time, church officials said. They worked with other faith groups and the Red Cross to assist and in some cases run the shelters.

While other faith groups that responded — Catholics, Baptists, Methodists — already had a large presence in the Gulf Coast region, the Church of Scientology is relatively small.

However, the visibility and goodwill earned during relief efforts following hurricanes Katrina and Rita created momentum that has helped the church open new missions in the region and see increased interest at the ones it already had.

“We grow as much as we help people,” explained Craig Gehring, an employee at the Church of Scientology’s Mission in Baton Rouge. >>

Dianetics Used in Disaster Relief

Scientology Volunteer Ministers use Dianetics techniques to help people recover from otherwise permanent effects of trauma.

The relief people experience is life saving.

Dianetics in Africa - Statistics

There's a new Dianetics web site in South Africa to help people in that country and throughout Africa learn about Dianetics and get paired up with someone else who also wants Dianetics and start helping each other, one-on-one.

There are literally millions of Dianetics books in circulation, and I think it's really important that anyone who wants to use Dianetics gets the help they need and gets to get going!

Scientology churches, Scientology missions and Scientology and Dianetics groups offer Dianetics seminars that get the person going right away. Attending a weekend seminar, you can usually set up a "co-audit" (that's the term for two people who help each other back and forth with Dianetics or Scientology counseling. "auditing" is the term for this counseling, as it meanst "to listen" it Latin.)

So - some results:

How has Dianetics technology affected your personality?

76% More understanding 74% More self-confident 73% More extroverted 72% More self-control 69% More easy going 69% More honest

67% More self-respect 65% More outgoing 64% Less critical 64% More patient 61% Better as a friend

Mr. David Miscavige and Dianetics

In this interview of Mr. David Miscavige by the St. Petersburg Times, an interesting point is that a short Dianetics session dramatically changed his life and he realized that he had found the answer.

An Introduction to Scientology

There is a brand new version of the only filmed interview ever done of L. Ron Hubbard. It is now available, fully restored, in 50 languages, and is called An Introduction to Scientology.

It is an incredible product. I was astounded by how much easier it was to see and hear the interview because of the quality of the technical work done in restoring this film.

Ron answers many questions about Dianetics as well, and anyone interested in Dianetcis should definitely get a copy of the DVD.

Dianetics - an Indian Perspective

There is an interesting article on Dianetics in LifePositive.com.

One of the first Scientologists in India gives his perspective about Dianetics and its relationship to eastern philosophy.

Strange though it may sound, but the logically and empirically sound philosophy of Scientology does share quite a few things with ancient Indian philosophy. According to Ambala-based DR Subhash Sood, one of the earliest Scientologists in India, one major similarity lies in the concept of liberation.

Have you ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be?

There is a single source for this, and a solution. For information go to www.dianetics.org.

Why Some Memories Hand Around...

Have you ever had a thought you just couldn't shake?

Not a pleasant thought. A bad one.

For example, have you ever continued to be angry or annoyed long after having a fight with someone? Did you ever know that you shouldn't hold a grudge, but you just couldn't seem to let go of it?

The reason for this is all contained in Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health and you can attend a weekend seminar at a Scientology church, mission or group and pair up with someone else who wants to use Dianetics and start chipping away at what is making you react in ways that are just making you unhappy.

Barriers to Success

To find out the cause behind a person preventing himself from succeeding or being happy and the solution, read Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health.

Ever Feel Like You're Just Not Like Yourself?

Ever have the idea that you have different personalities vying with one another?

Do you ever notice you have adopted the mannerisms of someone you know?

Do you ever lash out at someone in a way that you would not ordinarily want to treat people?

Do you ever "sound just like your mother/father?"

There is a subject called "valence" in Dianetics. It is a very fundamental thing that can happen with the mind. And it explains not only why this kind of thing happens but how to handle it.

What Causes a Song to Repeat Over and Over in your Head?

Ever wonder what makes a song repeate over and over in your head?

Ever walk through a department store where some really bad piece of music that you hate was playing, and wake up the next day with that playing off to you inside your mind?

Ever can't get rid of a tune?

Ever wonder why?

It's all in Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health.

Sick of Hearing about SSRIs

I am so sick of the depression and bipolar ads.

Whoever agreed it was okay to do direct to consumer mental health medication ads should be shot.

First of all these drugs are DANGEROUS!

But totally apart from that, why get into that when the actual effective method to handle what's bother you was discovered 57 years ago! Just read Dianetics, the Modern Science of Mental Health!

Grief Counseling

I have met people who have held onto their grief when a loved one passes away.

A good friend of mine once told me she didn't want Dianetics auditing because she wanted to hold onto her grief.

I can only presume the reason she felt this way was to stay close to the person she just lost. And although it is true that when you are mourning for someone who has died that person does tend to persist in your thoughts on a fairly constant basis.

But what my friend didn't understand is that once you have erased the loss from the Reactive Mind, your memories of your loved one are absolutely still intact, and the spiritual bond you had with the person is absolutely still there. In fact it is stronger than it ever was before.

DIANETICS Defined

Dianetics: comes from the Greek words dia, meaning "through"and nous, meaning "soul." Dianetics is a methodology developed by L. Ron Hubbard which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses. It is most accurately described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.
From the book What is Scientology?

Dianetics at the New Church of Scientology of London

You may have seen the news of the grand opening of the Church of Scientology of London, where an impressive aray of dignitaries joined guest of honor David Miscavige in welcoming this church to its beautiful new Victoria Street home.

But you may not know that the Church offers Dianetics seminars, workshops and professional training. You can also take an extension course for the Dianetics book and get Dianetics auditing from a trained counsellor right there as well. If you've heard about it and would like more information or want to get going on using Dianetics to sort things out for yourself -- highly recommended -- contact the church at (0207) 246-2700.

DIANETICS

Before Dianetics the world did not have a precise and workable means to resolve problems of the mind. Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health was published on May 9, 1950. It was hailed as a breakthrough by Walter Winchell, noted columnist of the New York Daily Mirror "as revolutionary for humanity as the first caveman's discovery and utilization of fire." Read this book!

Harry Wong on Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health

Here's what Doc Wong (Chiropractor, Dr. Harry Wong) says about the Dianetics book:



"I found this book incredibly helpful in explaining what was going on with me and how to improve myself. I read the book and then did some of the techniques and WOW, they work and I love it.

"Over the last several years I can't believe the changes in me, I'm much friendlier, happier and getting on in life so much better. Many old friends are stunned at the improvement in attitude and have told my wife: 'whatever you've done to him, keep it up' :-)"

Dr. Harry Wong

Dianetcs Success Vidoe

Here's a success story from the Dianetics site.


“Before Dianetics I never knew what a Reactive Mind was. I didn’t know there was an enemy there and that the enemy was in my mind, right here. You know, I was always looking for it outside in other people, you know, my older brother, my wife, my parents, the world and it wasn’t there, you know it was always inside of me.”

How Drugs Affect the Mind

One reason Scientologists are so opposed to drugs is because of the long term and very damaging effects drugs have on the mind.

In the book Clear Body Clear Mind L. Ron Hubbard explains a great deal about how this happens and why it is important to get rid of these toxins.

Below is a photo of a Scientology anti-drug group, the Drug-Free Ambassadors, promoting drug-free living to kids in Australia.

What is Dianetics?

On Scientology Today there is page with
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS MOST COMMONLY ASKED BY MEDIA
on What is Dianetics?

Dianetics spiritual healing technology can help alleviate such ailments as unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illness caused or aggravated by mental stress). The word Dianetics comes from the Greek words dia, meaning through and nous, soul. The full and proper definition of Dianetics is what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.

Before L. Ron Hubbard published the fundamentals of Dianetics in 1950, prevailing scientific thought held that man’s mind was his brain, nothing more than a collection of cells and neurons. IQ was considered unimprovable and personality fixed.

Dianetics technology changed all that. Its effectiveness, astonishing in many cases, has been documented in a multitude of case histories over nearly half a century of application.

Dianetics uncovers the source of unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and psychosomatic illnesses, and sets forth effective handlings for these conditions. Further research into the spiritual aspects of Dianetics led to the discovery of Scientology.

Scientology, on the other hand, is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, to universes and to other life. Through the practice of Scientology one can increase his spiritual awareness and ability and realize his own immortality.

Helping Earthquake Victims

Dianetics techniques help the individual overcome trauma.

Scientology Disaster Relief Teams usually provide Dianetics training to help people recover from their experiences.

This story about Yogyakarta on the Scientology News web site is a case in point.

Dianetics

The book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health was the first book I read after being introduced to the Scientology religion. It explained a lot about things in life I had always wanted to know but could never find answers to. Up to that point I was going on a fast downward spiral in life. The knowledge I gained from this book started me back up. It was the first step to a bright future. It is highly recommended.

Insanity

I think it is outrageous how psychiatrists are classifying just about every human reaction or quirk as insanity (disorder, they call it) and "treating" it with drugs.

It is all the more tragic in this day and age where Dianetics can help anyone change their outlook for the better, cease their irrational behavior and life a happy and healthy life.

All you have to do is read the book. You can just grab someone and audit each other back and forth.

And if you want to improve your auditing skill you can take a Dianetics seminar or a professional course in Dianetics auditing at any Scientology mission.

Dramatization

Have you (I'm sure you have) ever seen someone just go off and act out some huge dramatic "thing" that simply was not what was going on at all?

My father used to "pop" from time to time and just GO at us. There was no controling him at all. The only thing to do was stay out of his way until he chilled out on his own.

In Dianetics that is called "dramatization," and LRH discovered what causes it.

It's right there in Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health and is DEFINITELY worth learning about.

Dianetics technology is life-saving. The only thing that holds a person back from happiness, success and achieving goals is the reactive mind. The book Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health describes what the reactive mind is and what to do about it. It is vital data for everyone.

Dianetics Co-Audit

A co-audit is when people team up and audit one another. Auditing is Scientology or Dianetics counseling.

It is actually very simple to start helping someone with Dianetics.

Believe it or not, you can go to a seminar or workshop, get a simple grounding in basic Dianetics principles and techniques and start helping someone else and getting help yourself in a few hours.

There is a lot more to it than that, but the thing with Dianetics is that you can START almost right away.

In fact I've heard stories of people who didn't even have the benefit of any training except for reading the book and they've done fine as Dianetics auditors.

I have a friend, as a matter of fact, who is from Russia. Her family got hold of a copy of one of the first Russian editions of the book and several of them read it and started auditing the rest of the family. They clocked hundreds of hours on one another to the great benefit of all concerned!

Dianetics Results

I have experienced Dianetics results personally. I achieved a level of happiness and rationality to an extent I previously would not have thought possible. As an additional bonus, physical problems that were causing me much pain and discomfort disappeared. It is a truly amazing and effective technology. My introduction to the subject was the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. I highly recommend reading and applying this book.
