Dr. Francis M. Pottenger

Lecture: Handling Personnel – Part II (2) (1972)

  

There is one fellow who had the most remarkable ability to treat tuberculosis that anybody had ever heard of, and he was down there on the outskirts of Pasadena and he ran a hospital down there for many years. And he used to be harried and harassed by the medical profession to end all harassments, because he didn’t bother with X-rays and things like that.

Lecture: Organization of Data (1952)

  

In this 1952 lecture, Hubbard criticizes the scientific method that he says has been in use for a long time, because it "results in super specialization."

Lecture: Indoctrination in the Use of the E-Meter (1952)

  

In this lecture about Scientology's psychogalvanometer, Hubbard mentions Dr. Pottenger's style of diagnosis. I want to give you a talk and indoctrination on the use of a psychogalvanometer. Anyone who pretends to a knowledge of auditing should also at least pretend to a knowledge of how to use one of these machines. This machine is a small edition of those machines employed by police departments and which they call "lie detectors," The difference between this machine and a police department … [Read more...] about Lecture: Indoctrination in the Use of the E-Meter (1952)
