Scientology and Dianetics Books
In June, David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center released the most important breakthrough in recent years for the Scientology religion: the publication of an entire new edition of all of L. Ron Hubbard's basic books on Scientology and Dianetics, and the simultaneous release of all the lectures accompanying these books -- more than 250 lectures in all.
The significance of this is that these are the very materials which describe the basic principles of Scientology and the route by which L. Ron Hubbard researched them. Anyone studying these books and lectures will come away with a thorough understanding of Scientology.
So much for the rumor mills and the crazy false information people sometimes have about Scientology. Now anyone who really wants to, can find out what it is really all about for himself or herself.
The amount of data is the equivalent of at least a four-year university study of any other subject if not more, but it can be completed in 5 to 56 weeks of full-time study (the rough equivalent of the amount of actual time a college student puts in on his studies —at 60hours per week or more study vs. 12 to 15 hours per week in college, most of which is discussion about vs. actual study of the subject.
I've started my study of the Scientology Basics, as they are called, and I have to say that if anything, David Miscavige was mild in his praise for the magnitude of this project. On a purely subjective basis, I have gained a tremendous amount that I can use and am using in my work and my relationships with others, and it is really changing things for me. I'm more optimistic than I have been for years, and I am so keen to share this with everyone I know, whether or not they are Scientologists.
