Those familiar with the life of L. Ron Hubbard as recounted in issues of the Ron Series will recall repeated references to the LRH trail of research through the latter 1940s. Generally touched upon are his 1945 endocrinological studies at an Oak Knoll naval hospital near San Francisco, his 1946 examination of narcosynthesis at a California Veterans Administration, his 1947 work with neurotics from the Hollywood film community and his 1948 treatment of the criminally insane in a Savannah, Georgia … [Read more...] about Article: Letters from the Birth of Dianetics (n.d.)

Article: In Pursuit of the Answers to the Mind (continued) (n.d.)
Traveling east in 1948, Ron spent three months helping deeply disturbed inmates in a Savannah, Georgia mental hospital. "I worked with some of these," he recalled, "interviewing and helping out as what they call a lay practitioner, which means a volunteer. This gave me some insight into the social problems of insanity and gave me further data in my own researches." It also restored sanity to a score of previously hopeless cases and once again proved that his discoveries were applicable to all, … [Read more...] about Article: In Pursuit of the Answers to the Mind (continued) (n.d.)
Article: A Note on Excalibur (n.d.)

Lecture: Esto’s Instant Hat (1972)
In 1950 I was looking for group auditing because I was well aware of the fact that groups could get an engram, mutual. And group auditing has been experimented with and worked with from time to time, even on a continental level, in an effort to do something about this. And what do you know, we finally have found what it is. It’s a wrong why that causes a group engram. And to de-engramize a group, all you have to do is do a complete, competent evaluation and find the right why and handle it … [Read more...] about Lecture: Esto’s Instant Hat (1972)
