The Basics

   The pivotal breakthrough in this book, pointing to all that would follow, was encompassed in one word: Self-determinism. And while self-determinism in its native state is positive and strong, an individual can determine to be used or worked upon by the environ and its people. As Ron otherwise wrote, “Engrams are effective only when the individual himself determines that they will be effective.” The “Fifteen Acts” of Advanced Procedure are oriented to the rehabilitation of the preclear’s self-determinism.

   While in preparation of his newest book and the Doctorate Course he was about to deliver, L. Ron Hubbard called together auditors for a new Professional Course. As he said, “For the first time with this class we are stepping, really, beyond the scope of the word Survival.” From that vantage point, The Command of Theta gives the technology that bridges the knowledge from 8-80 to 8-8008, and provides the first full explanation of the subject of Cause and a permanent shift of orientation in life from MEST to Theta.

   On the heels of L. Ron Hubbard’s discoveries of Operating Thetan came a year of intensive research, exploring the realm of a thetan exterior. Through auditing and instruction, including 450 lectures in this same twelve-month span, he codified the entire subject of Scientology. And it’s all contained in this handbook, from a Summary of Scientology to its basic Axioms and Codes. Moreover, here is Intensive Procedure how the process is used, why it works, the axiomatic technology that underlies its use, and the complete explanation of how a being can break the false agreements and self-created barriers that enslave him to the physical universe.

   In short, this book contains the ultimate summary of thetan exterior, OT ability and its permanent accomplishment.

   With all breakthroughs to date, a single factor had been isolated as crucial to success in every type of auditing. As L. Ron Hubbard said, “Communication is so thoroughly important today in Dianetics and Scientology (as it always has been on the whole track) that it could be said if you were to get a preclear into communication, you would get him well.” And this book delineates the exact , but previously unknown, anatomy and formulas for perfect communication. The magic of the communication cycle is the fundamental of auditing and the primary reason auditing works. The breakthroughs here opened new vistas of application—discoveries of such magnitude, Mr. Hubbard called Dianetics 55! the Second Book of Dianetics.

Dianetics Lectures and Demonstrations

   Immediately following the publication of Dianetics, LRH began lecturing to packed auditoriums across America. Although addressing thousands at a time, demand continued to grow. To meet that demand, his presentation in Oakland, California, was recorded. In these four lectures, Mr. Hubbard related the events that sparked his investigation and his personal journey to his groundbreaking discoveries. He followed it all with a personal demonstration of Dianetics auditing—the only such demonstration of Book One available.

This is the story of how L. Ron Hubbard discovered the reactive mind and developed the procedures to get rid of it. Originally written for a national magazine published to coincide with the release of Dianetics...

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health Extension Course
by L. Ron Hubbard

The bolt from the blue that began a worldwide movement. For here is L. Ron Hubbard's landmark book presenting his discovery of the reactive mind that underlies and enslaves Man. It's the source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets and insecurity. And here is the way to get rid of it and achieve the long sought goal of Clear. This is the complete handbook of Dianetics procedure and, with it, any two reasonably intelligent people can break the chains that have held them prisoner to the upsets and trauma of the past.

A bestseller for more than half a century and with tens of millions of copies in print, translated in more than fifty languages and used in more than 100 countries of Earth, Dianetics is indisputably the most widely read and influential book about the human mind ever written. And for that reason, it will forever be known as Book One.

Here is the bedrock foundation of Dianetics discoveries, the Original Axioms, the Dynamic Principle of Existence, the Anatomy of the Analytical and Reactive Mind, the Dynamics, the Tone Scale, the Auditor's Code and the first description of a Clear. Even more than that, here are the primary laws describing how and why auditing works.

   With the potentials of a thetan fully established came a look outward resulting in L. Ron Hubbard’s monumental discovery of a universal solvent and the basic laws of the theta universe—laws quite literally senior to anything: The Factors: Summation of the Considerations and Examinations of the Human Spirit and Material Universe. So dramatic were these breakthroughs, he expanded the book Scientology 8-8008, both clarifying previous discoveries and adding chapter after chapter which, studied with these lectures, provide a postgraduate level to the Doctorate Course.

   Here then are lectures containing the knowledge of universal truth unlocking the riddle of creation itself.

   Designated by L. Ron Hubbard as the Book One of Scientology. After having fully unified and codified the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology came the refinement of their fundamentals. Originally published as a résumé of Scientology for use in translations into non-English tongues, this book is of inestimable value to both the beginner and advanced student of the mind, spirit and life.

   Equipped with this book alone, one can begin a practice and perform seeming miracle changes in the states of well-being, ability and intelligence of people. Contained within are the Conditions of Existence, Eight Dynamics, ARC Triangle, Parts of Man, the full analysis of Life as a Game, and more, including exact processes for individual application of these principles in processing. Here, then, in one book, is the starting point for bringing Scientology to people everywhere.

Here, then, in one book, is the starting point for bringing Scientology to people everywhere.

  Here are the Fifteen Acts of self-processing oriented to the rehabilitation of self-determinism. Moreover, this book contains several essays giving the most expansive description of the Ideal State of Man.

   Discover why behavior patterns become so solidly fixed; why habits seemingly can’t be broken; how decisions long ago have more power over a person than his decisions today; and why a person keeps past negative experiences in the present. It’s all clearly laid out on the Chart of Attitudes—a milestone breakthrough that complements the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation—plotting the ideal state of being and one’s attitudes and reactions to life. 

   In self-processing, “Handbook for Preclears” is used in conjunction with “Self Analysis.”

   While Fundamentals of Thought stands as an introduction to the subject for beginners, it also contains a distillation of fundamentals for every Scientologist. Here are the in-depth descriptions of those fundamentals, each lecture one-half hour in length and providing, one-by-one, a complete mastery of a single Scientology breakthrough—Axioms 1–10; The Anatomy of Control; Handling of Problems; Start, Change and Stop; Confusion and Stable Data; Exteriorization; Valences and more—the why behind them, how they came to be and their mechanics. And it’s all brought together with the Code of a Scientologist, point by point, and its use in actually creating a new civilization.

   In short, here are the lectures that make a Professional Scientologist—one who can apply the subject to every aspect of life.

   Introduction to Scientology Ethics contains all one needs to effectively use Ethics Technology in one’s daily existence. This is the basic Ethics Handbook. And with it, one can honestly reverse any deteriorating trend. For contained in this book are the breakthroughs that bring understanding to the subjects of right and wrong, good and bad, death and survival.

   Besieged with requests for lectures on his latest breakthroughs, L. Ron Hubbard replied with everything they wanted and more at the Second Annual Conference of Dianetic Auditors. Describing the technology that lies behind the self-processing steps of the Handbook—here is the how and why of it all: the discovery of Life Continuum—the mechanism by which an individual is compelled to carry on the life of another deceased or departed individual, generating in his own body the infirmities and mannerisms of the departed.

   Combined with auditor instruction on use of the Chart of Attitudes in determining how to enter every case at the proper gradient, here, too, are directions for dissemination of the Handbook and hence, the means to begin wide-scale clearing.

   This renowned series stands as the largest single body of work on the anatomy, behavior and potentials of the spirit of Man ever assembled, providing the very fundamentals which underlie the route to Operating Thetan. Here it is in complete detail—the thetan’s relationship to the creation, maintenance and destruction of universes. In just those terms, here is the anatomy of matter, energy, space and time, and postulating universes into existence.

   Here, too, is the thetan’s fall from whole track abilities and the universal laws by which they are restored. In short, here is L. Ron Hubbard’s codification of the upper echelon of theta beingness and behavior. Lecture after lecture fully expands every concept of the course text, Scientology 8-8008, providing the total scope of you in native state. Includes accompanying reproductions of the original 54 LRH hand-drawn lecture charts.

   Here is the panoramic view of Scientology complete. Having codified the subject of Scientology in The Creation of Human Ability, L. Ron Hubbard then delivered a series of half-hour lectures to specifically accompany a full study of the book. From the essentials that underlie the technology—The Axioms, Conditions of Existence and Considerations and Mechanics, to the processes of Intensive Procedure, including twelve lectures describing one-by-one the thetan exterior processes of Route 1—it’s all covered in full, providing a conceptual understanding of the science of knowledge and native state OT ability. 

   Here then are the bedrock principles upon which everything in Scientology rests, including the embracive statement of the religion and its heritage—Scientology, Its General Background. Hence, this is the watershed lecture series on Scientology itself, and the axiomatic foundation for all future research.

As L. Ron Hubbard describes in this book, life is composed of seven-tenths work, one-tenth familial, one-tenth political and one-tenth relaxation. Here, then, is Scientology applied to that seven-tenths of existence including the answers to Exhaustion and the Secret of Efficiency. Here, too, is the analysis of life itself—a game composed of exact rules. Know them and you succeed. The Problems of Work contains technology no one can live without, and that can immediately be applied by anyone in the workaday world.

   As L. Ron Hubbard explained, “Technique 80 is the To Be or Not To Be Technique.” With that, he unveiled the crucial foundation on which ability and sanity rest: the being’s capacity to make a decision. Here, then, is the anatomy of “maybe,” the Wavelengths of ARC, the Tone Scale of Decisions, and the means to rehabilitate a being’s ability To Be …almost anything.

   The most useful book you will ever own. Built around the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, Science of Survival provides the first accurate prediction of human behavior. Included on the chart are all the manifestations of an individual’s survival potential graduated from highest to lowest, making this the complete book on the Tone Scale. Knowing only one or two characteristics of a person and using this chart, you can plot his or her position on the Tone Scale and thereby know the rest, obtaining an accurate index of their entire personality, conduct and character.

   Before this book the world was convinced that cases could not improve but only deteriorate. Science of Survival presents the idea of different states of case and the brand-new idea that one can progress upward on the Tone Scale. And therein lies the basis of today’s Grade Chart.
