23. First International Congress Of Dianeticists and Scientologists

   Upon his return to America in late September 1953, nearly 400 delegates gathered in Philadelphia for the First International Congress of Dianeticists & Scientologists. Throughout five days of lectures, seminars and meetings, they received not only an overview of research from the earliest days, but the growth of Dianetics and Scientology in society.

   This Congress spans the breadth of Ron’s research from techniques that exteriorize a being as given in Standard Operating Procedure 8 (SOP 8), to the means by which a Scientologist can instill into society the finer qualities of cooperation, love, goodness, mercy and justice.
