I know, it’s fashionable for the newspapers to say I never went to college, and there are several colleges at this particular time that are wishing that I hadn’t gone there. But I can also assure you that you give them another decade or so, those colleges I haven’t even done more than go to a prom at will have some plates on them. You know? Man is silly, you see? Anyway, in college we were taking atomic molecular phenomena, which is a very interesting subject. And they should have left it … [Read more...] about Lecture: Dianetic Auditing And The Mind (1966)

Lecture: Case Analysis – Rock Hunting – Q & A Period (1) (1958)
Male voice: I'd like to hear your explanation of how you started on all this in the first place. Started on what? Male voice: Scientology. Dianetics. How you sort of independent - became independent again now, or - how did all this really come about? Oh! Nothing-very, very simple. Male voice: I mean, maybe a lot of people have heard it but I haven't heard it. I just died about three times in this lifetime and got used to being outside.[1. being outside: exterior. Definition: … [Read more...] about Lecture: Case Analysis – Rock Hunting – Q & A Period (1) (1958)
Operational Bulletin: The Turn of the Tide (1955)
BRAINWASHING MANUAL HISTORY In our studies of brainwashing it has been necessary to procure what information existed on the subject. Fortuitously, in Phoenix there came into our hands two manuscripts on the subject; as well as I can recollect, they were left there at the front desk with the request that they be mailed back to their owner. We are not sure exactly from whom these came, but we understand now that this is unimportant since the subject is broadly rather well known in a book on … [Read more...] about Operational Bulletin: The Turn of the Tide (1955)
Lecture: Havingness (1954)
You know, psychosis is quite a game itself. There is nothing like an eccentric behavior to command a great deal of scurry on the part of the environment. We have this boy Hutson out here, psychosis is just a game to this boy. It's revenge. His mother, a Christian Scientist,[1.

Hubbard spoke many times about his knowledge of Christian Science, and about statistics relating to Christian Scientists and mental illness. … [Read more...] about Lecture: Havingness (1954)
Lecture: Restimulation of Engrams, Experiences (1953)
Because the truth of the matter is that low on the Tone Scale[1. Definition: tone scale] man is recognizing a mockery of the truth which is quite obvious high on the Tone Scale; and this truth high on the Tone Scale is a very simple thing. It simply says, "We're all in this together. These molecules belong to all of us." And one isn't worrying about ownership. And then he starts down Tone Scale and he decides to go into a co-operative operation in order to keep somebody else from doing … [Read more...] about Lecture: Restimulation of Engrams, Experiences (1953)
Lecture: Chart Of Attitudes Rising Scale Processing (1952)
A lot of your bad science fiction is written by boys who… they were just bad the whole track, but they weren’t very bad. The guys who really write the good stuff, and so forth, boy were they horrible! What are you laughing about? Yeah-yeah. I never wrote any science fiction myself. People think I’ve written it. That’s right. It doesn’t classify as science fiction. There’s ‘One Was Stubborn’. There’s a story which you would be vastly amused about in this class. It appeared in Astounding … [Read more...] about Lecture: Chart Of Attitudes Rising Scale Processing (1952)
