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.

Dianetics Success

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.



Here's a story that appeared on the Scientology Press Office that illustrates the point.>>

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

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.
