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.)
