All right. And yet where are we today in the field of reason? - you might say the healing of reason. Where would you go to in the society? Let's take conditions as they existed in 1945. Where would John Doe have gone in the society to have had something happen to his reason to better it? Let's say he'd been through a long and arduous war. Let's say he'd been many - two years, maybe, a prisoner of the enemy. He'd been starved; he was upset. He found out that every time he heard something drop … [Read more...] about Lecture: Universes (1) (1954)

Bookstores in Los Angeles were selling "Dianetics" on an under-the-counter basis.
