Lecture: Technique 88: Overts Acts Motivators & DEDs (continued) (1952)
Now, perhaps you think I am being very unsympathetic with human beings and human aberrations by speaking in this gross, even disrespectful tone of voice with regard to the poor pitiful plight of people. Well, I am. Because the moment you understand a level of something, and understand it well, see it operating under your hands; you don't have to worry about it anymore, for it stops being serious. Why does it stop being serious? Because you can do something about it. If you can take a case, run … [Read more...] about Lecture: Technique 88: Overts Acts Motivators & DEDs (continued) (1952)
Lecture: Technique 88: Anatomy of Maybe (1952)
Here on the diagram is space zero and space infinity, thought zero and thought infinity, and time zero and time infinity. You can tell quite a lot by remembering this little picture. This is a simple picture. You can see that motion depends upon both space and time. If there is no time involved there can’t be motion. If you move your hand from one place to another it involves time. It was there it is now here. Regarding space, nothing can occupy space except for a period of time. If something … [Read more...] about Lecture: Technique 88: Anatomy of Maybe (1952)

Lecture: Effort Processing Summary (1951)
This is the mechanism on that: Any time an individual goes down to the acceptance of, obedience to or belief in–all the same thing–the absolute MEST-enforced[1. Define: MEST] command of another, he has gone into apathy as far as his own personality is concerned at that moment. That is a static. Furthermore, he is held on the track at that point. Each one of those statics is an automatic holder. You will find each one of these statics to be an agreement of the individual on what he really … [Read more...] about Lecture: Effort Processing Summary (1951)
Letter: Hubbard to Readers, Astounding Science Fiction (August, 1950)
Dear Readers : I would like to express my deep appreciation for the magnificent response given to the article: "Dianetics: The Evolution Of A Science." Over two thousand letters arrived in the offices of this n1agazine and Hermitage House in New York, the publishers of the handbook. As the letters are still arriving, as this is written, at the rate of more than two hundred per day, I cannot say with accuracy what the total response will be. Less than fifteen of these letters were adversely … [Read more...] about Letter: Hubbard to Readers, Astounding Science Fiction (August, 1950)
