Dianetics Featured at Book Expo America

At the Book Expo America, three publishers presented L. Ron Hubbard's works in the non-fiction, fiction and "effective education" categories. Mr. Hubbard's best-selling books are the most translated in the publishing industry, according to Guiness Book of World Records. Every six seconds, someone buys a book by L. Ron Hubbard, the world’s most translated best-selling author.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 24, 2006 -- Each year, Book Expo America (BEA) parades everything new in books for the publishing trade and this year at the Washington Convention Center, one author stood out: L. Ron Hubbard. As is traditional at the world’s largest book trade show, thousands of first-time novelists and international best-selling authors promoted their titles over the weekend to retailers and distributors who decide what will fill bookstore shelves for the next year.

The diversity and international appeal of Mr. Hubbard’s works was reflected in the three publishers exclusively representing his titles at the BEA:

Bridge Publications showcased Mr. Hubbard’s non-fiction titles, including Dianetics, an international publishing phenomenon, which has sold over 21 million copies in 55 languages. Many industry observers find it astonishing that the full library of Mr. Hubbard’s works on Dianetics technology and the Scientology religion he founded includes more than 3,000 lectures, three encyclopedic series and over 40 million written words.

In a year in which it has sparked more grassroots interest than ever before, spokespeople for Dianetics announced its entrance into one of the world’s most popular sports, joining the NASCAR family. On Friday, May 19, the new “Ignite Your Potential” Dianetics Racing Team, was unveiled at the BEA by Kenton Gray, founder of Freedom Motorsports Group, Inc., and a top performing Southern California race car driver. Gray and Bridge Publications’ representatives unveiled both the new Dianetics race car and book’s new sales campaign.

Galaxy Press (www.galaxypress.com) continued to introduce whole new generations to Mr. Hubbard’s master storytelling. This weekend, they presented their 25-year publishing plan, re-releasing some 250 L. Ron Hubbard classic fiction titles spanning genres of adventure, westerns, suspense, science fiction, fantasy and mystery, and using original cover artwork and illustrations.

A third publisher, Effective Education Publishing fulfilled the worldwide demand for Mr. Hubbard’s educational books that detail his breakthrough learning methods. Not only do some of Hollywood’s biggest names use and promote these works, but so do tens of thousands of teachers and millions of students the world over, as well.

With more than 230 million works sold, L. Ron Hubbard continues to break publishing records 20 years after his passing. He is unquestionably one of the most acclaimed and widely read authors of all time, with new international sales figures confirming that an L. Ron Hubbard book sells every six seconds.

Mr. Hubbard’s prolific output is recognized across the world, witness the Guinness World Records, which spotlights him as “the World’s Most Translated Author”-verified as such in 65 languages, topping Sidney Sheldon’s previously set record of 51, and the unofficial counts for J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter (63) and Anne Frank’s classic Anne Frank Diary (64). The United States Library of Congress’s Rare Book and Special Collection Division also honors Mr. Hubbard’s writing career, archiving a full collection of his early pulp fiction works adjacent to the writings of Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.

Dianetics Websites in Languages

The great thing about the Internet is that you can communicate to anyone, anywhere in the world in seconds. However, this means that your material has to be in their language.

Here are some of the foreign Dianetics websites in some of the not-so-comm languages:

Dianetics Booksales and New York

Dianetics Books and the Church of Scientology of New York

New York is the greatest city in earth.

As Mr. David Miscavige said at the grand opening of the Church of Scientology of New York, "New York is the hub of everything from American Publishing, to fashion, the nation’s financial capital and epicenter of global trends, not to mention the international center for entertainment and media. And all in addition to the most diverse culture on earth, which sets the trends across every generation and spectrum of life."

But it is also the city where the Scientology Volunteer Ministers program took on a new dimension, with the help rendered to the emergency teams at Ground Zero.

And New York Scientologists have inspired the world in the way they have made the Dianetics book available to everyone in the city, by providing free stress tests and book booths all over town.

Here’s more on the Volunteer Ministers at Ground Zero from the Scientology.org newsroom
and more about Mr. David Miscavige from the Religious Technology Center web site

The only thing I'd like to add is that Dianetics changed my life and I love hearing about new people finding out about it!

Silent Birth: Uncovered Truth

There is a lot of buzz on the Internet, TV, Radio and newspapers today regarding silent birth. Most have questions and curiosity about anyone able to ‘remember’ their infancy. It stretches one’s reality and understanding of life and raises many questions. Just what is the truth?

In speaking with a young man, he happened to relate a story which bears consideration.

It turns out that the young man went into a local Scientology Church and decided to try Dianetics. In the process of the Dianetic auditing, it is apparently common practice to have the person move back in time in order to resolve certain spiritual conflicts. As the young man continued to move ‘back in time’, to earlier and earlier situations, in order to address a problem he continued to have in his present environment, he recounted his birth.

Apparently he was a cesarian birth -- that is his mother was cut open as she had already two c-sections done. At the time of his birth, this was an accepted norm. In the process of the birth, the young man recalled the fact that the smallest finger on his right hand had been cut by the Doctor’s scalpel. He remembered seeing the blade come close to his face and putting his hand up, while inside his mother’s womb. He also remembered that he was in pain and was upset, coming out crying while the doctor held him up by his arms. Of interesting and amusing note, the young man remembered how upset he was at the doctor and his only defense was to urinate on the doctor. The doctor apparently turned the baby away from him to avoid the cascade, however the young man remembered that he just twisted his little body in such a manner so as to continue to ‘let the doctor have it’.

At the end of the auditing session, and feeling quite relieved from recounting the birth incident. The young man was still not sure that this had actually happened, as he had never heard this story from his mother. He did, indeed, have a small scar on his little finger, which he had had his entire life. But the additional data regarding his urinary attack still made him wonder if this had really happened.

That following evening he received a call from his mother as they spoke weekly. In the process of the conversation the young man spoke of his birth and only reminded her of the small cut on his finger. His mother then commented that in addition to the cut, he really ‘peeed’ on the doctor. As they both shared the laugh, she then also recalled that even funnier was the fact that it seemed he was quite determined to continue ‘nailing’ the doctor. The young man asked her to clarify what she meant, as this was information he had never been told before. She then said that at the moment that he started to urinate on the doctor and ‘scream his little head off’, the doctor had immediately twisted his body away from his face; the son then seemed to twist his little body and continued to ‘nail’ the doctor. Her comment was that he seemed intent on doing this and it just seemed a bit odd as she felt he was doing it intentionally. But how could a little baby really do this?, she said. The young man said no more other than to acknowledge her statement and said, “I don’t know, I must have been really pissed!”

They both shared a good laugh, however the young man had his answers and realized that he did, in actual fact, recall the incident in it’s entirety. And since having that personal conviction on birth, he now is a real believer in silent birth.

Loss of prized pet handled with Dianetics

It is not unusual or uncommon for a pet to become a 'member of the family'. In many cases, such as dogs or cats, their lifespans range from 10 to even twenty years. So it is no wonder that when a pet dies, a tremendous loss is felt throughout the family, with depression occurring for days if not weeks.

Such was the case with a family and their beloved cat, 'Anthony'. He had been with the family for over 14 years. And at age 14, still considered himself a kitten. He had his own personality , and, as one member put it, "You knew when he was in the mood to be petted and definitely knew when not to bother him." They even said that there were instances where they even learned lessons from him, simply because he seemed to know when a family member was not doing well and stayed with each through their illness rather than going off to chase a bird or catch a mouse.

One night, Anthony when playing with the oldest son, shreiked, fell silent and died. It was no surprise that the entire familyexperienced a feeling of deep loss. Each had shared moments of joy with Anthony and all felt a gaping hole in their hearts.

The depression lasted for several days and began to deepen. The house grew somber with each passing day.

One of the family's neighbors saw the progressive depression and suggested to the parents their son, who was a Scientology Volunteer Minister, could probably help them through their loss. Their own family had had a similar situation and, suprising as it sounded, he had helped them through theirsl.

The parents agreed and the following day the Volunteer Minister arrived.

He listened to them and then suggested they be allowed to use a 'spiritual tool' he found quite helpful. Although it would not bring Anthony back, at least they could resolve their real loss.

The Volunteer Minister proceeded to explain to them what Dianetics technology is and how it works. He then, over the course of the next few days, delivered Dianetics auditing to each of the four family members. Each one in turn, discovered what was holding the feeling of loss in place for them and resolved their personal issues regarding it. These were all discovered and resolved without any advice or comment from the Volunteer Minister, as this is not how Dianetics Auditing works.

The family was able to resume their lives. It was not long after this that they went to a shelter for homeless animals and found another cat to fill the home, once again, with the happiness Anthone had given them. They knew that Anthony would never come back. Their memories of Anthony were no longer was connected with pain and loss. Rather, now they were left with all the happy memories .

Months later the family communicated how much they appreciated the help of their neighbor's son - the Volunteer Minister - and his Dianetics techniques. For them it gave them a fresh start in life and resolved their loss.

Woman Helped to Recover with Dianetics

An elderly woman had both knees replaced and was at home recuperating. She was still having tremendous problems walking and quite apprehensive about being able to walk comfortably again. She was also having difficulty healing and it seemed to her doctors that, due to her age, it was just going to be that way.

One of her next door neighbors had a son who was a Scientology Volunteer Minister. Having the idea that there might be some spiritual component in the length of time it was taking for her to recover, they told her they wanted to have their son come and see if he could help. They'd heard that Dianetics technology handles psychosomatic problems and were wondering if that might not be exactly what she needed.

The following day the Volunteer Minister arrived at her door. He introduced himself, in fact the neighbors were with him just to ensure that she would be comfortable with him. After a brief introduction, the Volunteer Minister applied a couple of assists, techniques developed by

L. Ron Hubbard that operate on the principle that one tends to withdraw mentally or spiritually from an injured area. Only by restoring communication with this area can one bring the spiritual element into healing, thereby greatly speeding the healing process.

The woman felt less pain in her legs, however she still felt apprehensive about walking.

The Volunteer Minister suggested Dianetics counseling. He briefly explained its procedure and
scheduled to come see her the following day.

He began delivering to her Dianetics auditing and did this over a few days, for about an hour and one half or so each day. In the process of the auditing the woman discovered for herself why she was so apprehensive and why the healing process had been taking longer than usual. She found great relief in receiving the auditing and her rehabilitation time actually was cut better than half, which surprised the doctors and physical therapist to no end!

The woman now walks every day -- at least a half mile every day -- in addition to her daily household routines.

At 80 years old, this is quite an accomplishment.

She attributes it all to Dianetics!

Volunteer Minister helps person walk with Dianetics

A Volunteer Minister was asked to help a man who had been bedridden for many months. Doctors were unable to find the cause of his inability to walk and were a bit mystified.

A family member had heard about Scientology Volunteer Ministers on television and that they used the technology of L. Ron Hubbard. He contacted the local church and asked for the help of a Volunteer Minister.

The minister arrived and after a short interview with the man in bed, decided to apply Dianetics technology to the situation.

After several hours of auditing, addressing the spiritual component to the difficulty, the man began having feeling in his legs and realized that he could walk. He was helped to the side of his bed and, on his own, stood up. Although very shaky at first, he was able to begin walking and is still doing so since the auditing he received.

The man attributes his ability to walk to his having come to see how he himself as a being had been holding the disability in place with Dianetics techniques. He is now reading the Dianetics book, written by L. Ron Hubbard.

Dianetics is described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.

Dianetics addresses the part of the mind that operates below the conscious level, exerting a hidden influence that causes the person to react irrationally, and have inexplicable emotions and ills that hold back intelligence and ability.

Rocky relationships handled with Dianetics

Relationships and the problems which arise from them at times plague all of us at one time or another.

Here's just one of many examples of how Dianetics techniques help people overcome past losses and clear the way to better relationships.

A young man was having continuous problems -- relationships with the kind of women he was attracted to never resulted in a lasting, stable relationship. No matter how he tried, he just was never able to break out of this pattern, which led to tremendous frustration and upset as the outcome was always the same.

A friend told him about Dianetics and then about the Reactive Mind. He gave him the book Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health. The young man read the book and then found that there was a 1-800 number in the back of the book. He called the number and found a church near where he lived and went to the church to get the auditing described in the book.

After a simple interview, he was introduced to someone who took him into session.

The young man had been dating a girl. Out of the blue, one of her old boyfriends had contacted her and said he wanted her back and she left the young man for the old boyfriend. The loss of the girl was addressed with Dianetics and the young man realized she this fit into the same category as the other relationships that had plagued him.

Within a few days, In the course of his auditing, he discovered why he had dated these women. This wasn't something the auditor told him - it was something he realized for himself.

A few days later he happened to be in a store when he saw a beautiful young woman. She was quite different from anyone he had ever met and he decided to take a chance and introduced himself. To his surprise, she was quite willing to talk with him. In fact, she agreed to meet him for coffee at the local cafe.

The two began dating and now are married. The young man credits what he handled in his Dianetics auditing with his being able to create this stable and fulfilling relationship.

Volunteer Ministers use basic Dianetics auditing techniques to relieve the anxieties that a people have from recent incidents containing injuries or trauma. Using simple one-on-one auditing techniques, relief from stress, depression, loss or any other affliction can be addressed with good result.

The people that receive Dianetics have each said they feel better about life and believe they can now move forward as the barriers that they had originally perceived were now shattered. Many even state that they have experienced miracles with this technology as developed by L. Ron Hubbard. Although not a 'cure', recipients of this technology have experienced complete resurgance in health, eyesight restored, and illnesses cut short, just to name a few.

It is a technology whose time has come in a troubled world.

I found my wife with the help of Dianetics technology

I had been through many relationships and realized that I was not really happy.

A friend of mine told me about the book Dianetics and said I should read it. I bought the book and began reading it and found it made a lot of sense. I began to think that maybe there was something connected to my 'going in and out of relationships' with what the book called 'the Reactive mind'.

I contacted the local Scientology Church and found out that they provided auditing that the book talked about. It was actually quite inexpensive and so I decided to try it out.

I was met by a nice young man who called himself an 'auditor'. He sat me down and introduced me to what auditing was and then just started.

I met with him at the church and got audited every day for about an hour or so. By the end of the fourth day I was looking at a situation that I never knew had so much upset and loss. After going over it several times something even more basic came up and then my world just kind of lightened up. I realized what I had been doing and why relationships always never lasted. It wasn't anything the auditor said to me, it was my own realization.

A few days later I met this beautiful young woman, who just 'walked into my life'. It was as if she was made to order and it was incredible. We have two children now and it has been an incredibly good life. All thanks to Dianetics.

Dianetics Success

Here is a Success story that I really like from a lady who has improved her life through the application of Dianetics technology.

Since Dianetics, I never get depressed anymore.
“I've been depressed most of my life, not constantly, but up and down in depression. You wake up in the morning and you don't feel good. You don't like doing anything. I'd go a couple of days fine, and other days I would be really depressed, feeling very bad about myself, feeling like why am I like this? Why am I depressed?

“I received Dianetics auditing and I discovered where those trouble spots were and when I found them and talked about it, they were gone. All these years I felt depression, just gone. I never get depressed anymore. Ever! And it's so easy.”

I lost my allergies with Dianetics

I got the book, Dianetics, The Modern Science of Mental Health and began reading it. It sounded pretty revolutionary to me and yet I was interested and wanted to try it out. I looked in the back of the book and discovered that there was a Church in my area and contacted them. The receptionist got me in touch with a consultant who signed me up for some auditing.

I started the auditing (Scientology spiritual counseling) and found it was a lot of fun. The person (auditor) who delivered this to me was very friendly and never told me what to think about anything I said, but just continued with the process listed in the book. While on the third session, we were looking at something that happened to me when I was about 10 years old. I experienced a lot of emotions, high and low. Finally at the end of the session I felt really good about what had happened and realized something changed. I didn't know what it was, but it changed.

I went on to my routine that day and that afternoon I went to a monthly meeting where the execs of that company smoked cigars. Every month they would do this at this meeting and I would get tremendous migraines. You see, I had always been told I had allergies to cigarettes and that the reactions to smoke was the allergy - that I would have this for the rest of my life.

I went through the entire meeting that day without a flinch or a thought about the lack of reaction to the smoke in the room. It wasn't until late that evening at home I was surfing the Internet that I began to smell the cigarette stench on my suit. I then realized that I did not react to the smoke - no headaches, nausea, heavy pains in my neck, etc. I recognized that earlier that morning I had had a Dianetics session and that what I had addressed in that session somehow resolved the condition that had been told to me by medical doctors would last my life. So because the real cause of these alergies were spiritual in nature, the technology of L. Ron Hubbard, in a short time had resolved this. It was incredible.

I have had no allergies to cigarette or cigar smoke since. I came to understand what the hidden enemy was - The Reactive Mind - and had gotten personal understanding of its existence.
