I have been engaged in the investigation of the fundamentals of life, the material universe and human behavior,” wrote L. Ron Hubbard of his larger philosophic journey towards Dianetics and Scientology, and proceeded to reference a search “down many highways, through many byroads, into many back alleys of uncertainty.” In a further explanation of that search is the introduction and first chapter to a retrospective, “The Rediscovery of the Human Soul.” Begun in 1956, but never completed, the … [Read more...] about Web article: On the Rediscovery of the Human Soul (n.d.)

“Is it possible,” Ron asked, “that with this new branch of nuclear physics we might be able to locate the energy of life?” Returning to the United States to further his education, Ron enrolled in the engineering school of George Washington University where he joined the first classes on nuclear physics -- then called Atomic and Molecular Phenomena. It was very much a pioneering field at this time and involved the study of the smallest energy units known to man. But while other students in this … [Read more...] about Article: The first Steps to Discovery (continued) (n.d.)
Web article: Rediscovery of the Human Soul (n.d.)
The story starts in the physics laboratories of George Washington University in 1930. Quite coincidentally at almost this same time Professor Thomas Brown in charge of that department, was launching experiments which within fifteen years would bring forth an atomic bomb upon earth largely through Dr. George Gamow an assistant in this same laboratory. Unwitting of the ferocity being planned within a few yards of me, I was engaged upon an experiment about poetry. Now usually poetry has little … [Read more...] about Web article: Rediscovery of the Human Soul (n.d.)

Lecture: Dianetic Auditing And The Mind (1966)
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)
