Besides having a couple of other things to do in the last eight years, I have been in search of an open channel for Dianetics and Scientology which would not run into large obstacles and which would thereby make it possible for organizations and auditors to outflow what we know to a maximum with a minimum of difficulty. When you have to qualify and explain what you are doing continually, you have only in that an obstacle. Since there was no immediate forebear to Dianetics and Scientology, … [Read more...] about Professional Auditor’s Bulletin: The Open Channel (1956)

Lecture: Havingness (1954)
You know, psychosis is quite a game itself. There is nothing like an eccentric behavior to command a great deal of scurry on the part of the environment. We have this boy Hutson out here, psychosis is just a game to this boy. It's revenge. His mother, a Christian Scientist,[1.

The conditions and mechanisms which hide the engram bank do not vary: they are uniformly present in every patient, in every human being. The techniques of Dianetics may be improved upon-and what scientific technique, particularly in its first few years of existence, cannot be-but they also do not perform selectively but are applicable to all individuals.

INTRODUCTION In 1932 an investigation was undertaken to determine the Dynamic Principle of Existence in a workable form which might lead to the resolution of some of the problems of Mankind. [1. See Bare-faced Messiah timeline .] A long research in ancient and modern philosophy culminated, in 1938, in the heuristically discovered Primary Law. A work was written at that time which embraced Man and his activities.[1. Excalibur The Dark Sword.] In the following years further research was … [Read more...] about Book: Dianetics: The Original Thesis (1) (1950)
