Some people have been very fond of rushing up to me and saying, “You know, I’ve got a big idea of how we can sell Dianetics to psychiatry!” I can just see some fellow standing on a man-of-war, up on the signal platform working the shutter of a big searchlight, and it is going bippity-bap, bippitybap, and he is signaling to a submarine that is three hundred feet deep with no periscope up. The person rushing up to me saying “I know how we can sell Dianetics to psychiatry” is telling me to start … [Read more...] about Lecture: Survival Processing (1951)

Lecture: Address Of Auditor To Preclear – Saturday Evening Course (1) (1950)
Your own inventiveness could be called upon very definitely in establishing the bond of affinity, if we just had a little firmer grip on what affinity actually is. It would be interesting to be able to both establish or break the bond. The law of affinity becomes very embarrassing to a male hypnotist, for instance, who is foolish enough—and many of them are—to hypnotize a nymphomaniac, or for a woman hypnotist to hypnotize a satyr. I was working with a hypnotist who had as one of his … [Read more...] about Lecture: Address Of Auditor To Preclear – Saturday Evening Course (1) (1950)
Lecture: Conception (1950)
Once upon a time I turned a patient over to a hypnotist. I showed the hypnotist how to work Dianetics. It was a long time ago and the patient had a very large amount of material and had to be worked in amnesia trance, which is very slow work, and I was quite tired of working it. So I asked this hypnotist if he would go ahead with the case, seeing this person was a very good friend of his. I told him some of the rudiments of Dianetics and he was perfectly satisfied to take on the case and go … [Read more...] about Lecture: Conception (1950)

Lecture: Dianetics: First Lecture of Saturday Course (5) (1950)
Several years ago when research was very intense, I learned this the hard way on a young man who maintained that he could run his own engrams. He kept insisting on it. He wanted all his engrams up in present time where he could run them himself. So finally I swamied him into a deep trance and said, "You can remember everything you’ve ever felt, heard or seen in present time. You can remember all these things in present time." That’s it, just you can remember—permission. There was enough … [Read more...] about Lecture: Dianetics: First Lecture of Saturday Course (5) (1950)
