Where unwanted emotions come from — anger, jealousy, guilt, fear.
The Dianetics site has this message:
| |
For as long as man has walked the Earth, he has looked earnestly for happiness....
....dramatic results from Dianetics can begin right away since one is actually handling the SOURCE of his or her problems. Such results go far beyond anything produced by older subjects or means.
In a recent survey of Dianetics users, they reported that using Dianetics technology had reduced their stress by 46%, cut down their level of anxiety by 55%, and slashed depression by 72%. While 92% of those surveyed said Dianetics had improved their relationships.
Dianetics is All Over the Place

Incredibly Helpful 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" :-)

Stress Takes its Toll
Say, what? That's outrageous.
Billions of dollars get spent every year on medical bills and prescriptions just to handle these stress-related physical problems.
But stress is obviously a spiritual problem. It is how the being (the person himself) reacts to the difficulties he/she encouters in life.
According to the Dianetics and Scientology dictionary, Dianetics spiritual healing technology... addresses and handles the effects of the spirit on the body and can alleviate such things as unwanted sensations and emotions, accidents, injuries and psychosomatic illnesses (ones that are caused or aggravated by mental stress). Dianetics means “through the soul” (from Greek dia, through, and nous, soul). It is further defined as “what the soul is doing to the body.”
The results of Dianetics counseling are spectacular, and even more so when you realize that anyone who wants to benefit from it is welcome to come for a Dianetics seminar at a Scientology church or mission.

A Dianetics Success
"My well-being has returned with Dianetics.
“I had tremendous weight loss — extreme fatigue, just getting up and doing my basic routine was almost more than I could do. I was losing most of my hair, I suffered from horrible headaches, and I just was dying basically. I was going from doctor to doctor, and they basically said ‘There’s not a lot we can do for you, we really don’t know why your body's doing what it's doing... you're probably going to die.’
“I was devastated, I was a young woman, I had my youngest son getting ready to get married and I might not have been a part of it.
“One of my son's friends introduced me to Dianetics. We had just three sessions and totally handled the problem. I began to get healthy again, I began to stop losing my hair, my weight started to come back on and the headaches are gone. Dianetics, to me personally, saved my life. I know that without it, I wouldn't be here.”

Dianetics Trademarks
"The philosophy and technologies of Dianetics and Scientology were discovered and developed solely by L. Ron Hubbard. It is a fundamental belief of Scientologists that, if the technologies are applied exactly as he recorded them in Scientology scripture, they are universally workable and will improve conditions and result in greater spiritual awareness and ability for everyone.
"For this reason, Scientologists emphasize the orthodox and standard application of the Scientology scripture. Thus, Scientologists never interpret scripture for each other but always refer to the original source materials. A Course Supervisor in a Scientology church is not a teacher in that he does not lecture or give his own opinions because to do so, even if well-intentioned, would inevitably enter alterations, even if slight, into the technologies which would lessen their effectiveness. This alteration could accumulate over time to the point where Scientologists could never achieve the full spiritual benefits of the religion.
"For these reasons the Church and its members want, above all else, to preserve and apply the Scriptures exactly as set forth by Mr. Hubbard.
"Earlier, L. Ron Hubbard personally supervised the practice of the religion, and he also registered as marks many of the religion’s identifying words and symbols, such as “Dianetics” and “Scientology.” These registered marks provided a legal mechanism for ensuring that the Scientology religious technologies were orthodox and ministered according to the scriptures. They also provide a legal mechanism to prevent anyone from practicing in a non-orthodox manner or engaging in some distorted use of L. Ron Hubbard’s writings, while then claiming it is standard Dianetics or Scientology.
"In 1982, Mr. Hubbard donated these marks to the Religious Technology Center (RTC), and entrusted it with the responsibility to protect the religion by enforcing orthodox application of his Scientology technologies, and to protect the public by ensuring that only authorized church organizations used the identifying religious marks.
"Thus, while Church of Scientology International serves as the mother church and is responsible for the overall ecclesiastical management, dissemination and propagation of Scientology and the various churches of Scientology, Religious Technology Center serves as protector of the religion. While each Scientology organization and, indeed, every Scientologist is expected to enforce the standard application of scriptures, RTC is the final arbiter of orthodoxy.
"RTC is not part of the management structure of the Church and is not involved in its day-to-day affairs. A major reason for having the marks held by a separate Scientology organization is so that it is removed from the daily exigencies of management and so can more effectively perform its functions.
"RTC has an ongoing program to register its religious marks in many countries around the world -- even those that do not yet have a Scientology organization. Doing so ensures that the religious marks will not be usurped in those countries and that their citizens will know that they are receiving orthodox Dianetics and Scientology religious services when a Scientology organization is formed in their area.
"To ensure the purity of the religion and its Scriptures, RTC supervised a massive five-year project, only recently completed, to republish all of L. Ron Hubbard’s writings on Dianetics and Scientology. RTC ensured that the authenticity of each work was verified by comparing them word by word with his original manuscripts -- only once RTC was satisfied that the works were accurate were they republished. RTC then helped see that archival editions of these materials were produced, thus ensuring the availability of the pure unadulterated writings of Mr. Hubbard to the coming generations. As part of this project, Mr. Hubbard’s original tape-recorded lectures -- most of them over three decades old -- were restored using state-of-the art technology, and then accurately transcribed. Even the translations of the Scripture are scrupulously checked for accuracy by RTC prior to any publication.
"RTC has many other activities, all of which add up to performing its basic ecclesiastical functions: ensuring that what is represented as Dianetics or Scientology is genuinely so; protecting the general public by not allowing any organization or individual to do something entirely different while using the religious marks to misrepresent itself as Dianetics or Scientology; and not allowing any individual or organization to deliver Dianetics or Scientology while calling it something else. Any misuse or unauthorized use of the Scientology religious marks is rapidly corrected by RTC so that the religion is kept pure and all people may benefit from the application of Mr. Hubbard’s Scientology technologies.
"Mr. David Miscavige has served as RTC’s Chairman of the Board, its most senior position, since 1987. Mr. David Miscavige is uniquely qualified for this position. An active Scientologist for most of his life, he has been involved with nearly every aspect of the Church’s activities for many years and worked closely with Mr. Hubbard. Mr. David Miscavige has worked tirelessly to protect the religion. He authored the early 1980s reorganization of Church corporate and management structures which have given the religion years of sustained growth and stable leadership. "

Self Esteem.
One of the most remarkable thing about Dianetics technology is now simple it is to get to the underlying cause of this change in self esteem and gain back personal trust.
And it is really simple to do.

Stress
Did you know that most people find some relief from stress from their first Dianetics session?
Scientology churches and missions provide Dianetics seminars where persons attending get paired with others and they help each other with Dianetics techniques, under the supervision of trained staff.
In the course of a weekend or a few week nights most students can learn enough of the technique to help their partner. It is very simple to learn.
Here's just one example of what people get out of Dianetics:
"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"

Dianetics Definitions
The book contains a very extensive glossary of terms, necessary because what L. Ron Hubbard discovered about the mind is actually new and so required terms to name them.
There is also a good glossary of Scientology and Dianetics terms online.
For an interesting view of Dianetics, from the Indian perspective, there is a good site: Lifepositive Scientology and Dianetics.
And for an excellent overview on where the Scientology religion stands at the beginning of the 21st Century I recommend reading the transcript of the David Miscavige speech called This is Scientology or better yet purchasing a copy of the actual speech in DVD form online or at a Scientology church (really worth doing because Mr. Miscavige is such an excellent speaker).

I first read the book Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health in 1970.
I was really unhappy at the time. I was in a bad relationship and my self-respect was at an all-time low.
A friend of mine gave me his copy of the Dianetics book and told me that this was exactly what I needed.
I hoped he was right.
I started reading and thought it was "interesting." Then at some point, a few chapters into the book it was like I was jolted awake! I got the concept of what L. Ron Hubbard was describing about the mind, and just knew it was true.
Suddenly, so much about my life made sense.
That was a turning point in my life. From that point on things got better and better for me, and I've never looked back.

Scientology Missions International web site had this story:
Executives of the Church of Scientology Mission in Modena, Italy recently started a game to get hundreds of Scientologists in their community trained up on the techniques to deliver Dianetics auditing to thousands of others in their community and thereby help them change their lives for the better by ridding themselves of their reactive mind.
Through a step-by-step plan of promoting in their city, holding seminars & workshops and airing TV shows on the miracles of Dianetics, the Modena Mission staff have already, in just a matter of months, trained over 225 people on how to deliver the techniques of Dianetics to others.The reason I was delighted to read this is because Modena has to be one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. I fell in love with the city when I was last there. And I had the great good fortune of meeting some of the Scientologists from the Modena Mission. They were absolutely wonderful.
Sorry if I go on about them, but I will always remember their hospitality and warmth.

Dianetics Book Review
I loved "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health". It is very much a manual of the mind. Most other books on the subject that I've read are just theories and are not really workable. I have tried the techniques as descibed in this book and loved the results! I have worked these techniques on others (what an adventure!) and had them worked on me. Smiles, laughter and happiness all around.
I would highly recommend anyone to read this book whether you think you have problems or not. There are people around you who do and these CAN be handled with these Dianetics techniques. I know; I've seen it. Also, it tells you why people do the things they do -- you know... those odd and bizarre things that keep you wondering about someone.
My recommendation? Read it and try it out.

Life Positive of India Talks about Dianetics
"This apparently academic discovery put a whole new spin to the then current (and still fairly popular) theory that life is nothing more than a game of chance. Unlike Darwin's theory of evolution, which gave importance to survival only to the extent of natural selection, Hubbard postulated that the command to survive comes from an 'intelligence' behind the scheme of life. In his work Excalibur, often considered the precursor to Dianetics, Hubbard writes: 'All life is directed by one command and one command only—SURVIVE!'"

Dianetics Seminars in Java
It is pretty shocking when you realize that this was a 6.2 magnitude quake. A similar quake in Los Angeles resulted in practically no deaths compared to the nearly 6,000 deaths in this region of Indonesia. Sure, some houses were destroyed, but the destruction in Java is hard to conceive.
I was so happy to hear that the Scientology Volunteer Ministers that flew to Java to help are not getting Dianetics technology delivered in the form of seminars.
To live through such a catastrophe must be so devastating. Dianetics technology can really help.

The Dianetics Racing Team
In this item, it describes how the idea to have Bridge Publications (the publishers of Dianetics: the Modern Science of Mental Health) sponsor this car.
Dianetics has supported many winning teams in a variety of competitive sports including running, surfing, bicycle racing, wind sailing, motorcycle racing, skateboarding, soccer and even hot air ballooning.
Kenton Gray, launched into racing at ten years old in go-karts (see fmgracing.com). After reading Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard in 1996, Kenton began his professional racing career. In 2000-2001, Kenton formed the Dianetics motorcycle racing team, placing in the top 5 for the year. In 2004, Kenton then moved up into driving at one of the best short tracks in the country, the Irwindale Speedway, racing in the Dodge Weekly Series. Coming in first place 5 times, and taking a top 5 ranking in other races, Kenton presented his program to Bridge Publications in January of 2006.
Dianetics brings out the winner in you. When you know and understand how your mind works, you ignite your own potentials and move to the front position in your drive for success
I've never been much of a NASCAR fan before, but this team has me making plans for the racetrack this summer!

Jenna Elfman on Dianetics
TMR: You’ve said before that Scientology has made your life better. How did you find the religion and why did you choose it?
JE: Oh yeah. I heard someone say how much they were able to help their mother by helping her with Dianetics, and I went “Really? You can help someone with Dianetics?” And that just interested me because I like helping people, and the person really felt good by helping their mother with some problems she was having. I was like, “I want to read that book.” I had said to my husband I want to learn about Dianetics, but I am not sure I want to read this whole book. I was nineteen years old and I don’t think at that age I had the patience to read the whole book. And Bodhi, who was my boyfriend at the time, said there was a Dianetics Seminar Course you can do where you read part of the book - the main part - and practice applying Dianetics. And I went, yes, I am totally into that. I went and did the course, and it was exactly what I had been looking for. I went and saw for myself that it worked and it totally made sense to me, and it answered all the questions I had through life. I was like “That makes sense!” I have been going strong and applying it to my life ever since and having a great time.

Trauma Relief
It is very simple to learn how to give a Dianetics assist. Assists are 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.
With war, natural disaster and the daily issues each of us face, I'd say this help is vital.
In his speech called "This is Scientology" Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, talks about this and other activities Scientologists are involved in to help society.

Dianetics NASCAR
The No. 27 red "DIANETICS" Taurus -- decorated with the volcano from the cover of L. Ron Hubbard's book of the same name -- showed up at California's Irwindale Speedway, the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer reported Wednesday.
