Books

Advanced Procedure and Axioms (November 1951)
This is a Dianetics book which introduces such subjects as the Dianetic Axioms—all of the axioms on which the theory of Dianetics is structured; the Dianetic Logics, a system of thought and analysis based on infinite-valued logic and through which any situation may be evaluated. This book also introduces such concepts as "Self-Determinism", "Absolute Responsibility", and the "Service Facsimile"—a mechanism by which the individual seeks to make themselves right and others wrong by suffering from some inability, illness, etc. ISBN   9781403144140

All About Radiation (1957)
Out of print. An early edition was titled All about radiation : man's inhumanity to man. Variously labelled over the years as being authored by L. Ron Hubbard; by "a nuclear physicist and a medical doctor" (c. 1967); by Hubbard, Gene Denk, and Farley R. Spink (1989); and other versions included a Richard Farley. [1] : 7  [7] ISBN   9780884044468

Art (1991)
Art was originally a technical bulletin on the theory of art, Hubbard's attempt at codification of an aesthetic theory. Hubbard's approach focuses on the overlap between communication and art. The three axioms of art that he proposed in the book was that first, "too much originality throws the audience into unfamiliarity and therefore disagreement". Second that "technique should not rise above the level of workability for the purpose of communication". Third, "perfection cannot be attained at the expense of communication".

This book is a basic text for the Church of Scientology's Purification Rundown. [11]

The Creation of Human Ability (July 1954)
This book contains all of the processes derived from previous data and the newly introduced objective processes—which deal in directly perceiving and affecting objective, present-time reality both with the person either interior or exterior to his body. Theologian Marco Frenschkowski comments that the book was created as a reference guide for auditors, to address the practical necessity of orienting them to a "more technical, less philosophical side of Scientology." It was compiled by Hubbard's office and starts with a bible quotation from the gospel of Luke, one of the longest biblical quotations in the founder's writings. The quotation considers Scientology as similar to early Christian missions, because of the common sense of urgency and experience of being in a mission. [12] [13]

Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science
Published in article form in Astounding Science Fiction (May 1950), and republished later as a book, it contains the only account of how the optimum computing machine—the mind—works, how Hubbard discovered "basic personality", how the dynamic principle of existence—survive—was first isolated, how wrong answers enter into the mind, how there seem to be demons of the mind, how the concept of the engram was discovered, and how Dianetics techniques were developed. [3] : 418 

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
First published in May 1950 and referred to as "Book One" by Scientologists, this book describes Hubbard's ideas about the "reactive mind", the time track, and his therapy technique for getting rid of psychosomatic illness. Abbreviated as DMSMH. [3] : 417 

Dianetics: The Original Thesis
First published in 1951 under the name Dianetics: The Original Thesis, and retitled in 1983 as The Dynamics of Life. [3] According to the forward of the 2007 version of the book, the editors write that this book had originally been circulated in manuscript form to a few friends, copied and passed hand-to-hand. It generated a large inflow of correspondence filled with questions, prompting Hubbard to write Dianetics: The Modern Science to Mental Health. [14]

Dianetics 55! (December 1954)
This book deals with a very large range of processes all centering around the subject of the individual's communications with his environment. It is the 1955 answer to Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.

Excalibur (1938)
Unpublished, but oft-mentioned by Hubbard.

Group Auditor's Handbook [2]

Handbook For Preclears (December 1951)

[1] The book is edited from a lecture and formerly published as A Test of Whole Track Recall. "It is a report on missions sent out to Sardinia, Sicily and Carthage to see if specific evidence could be found to substantiate L. Ron Hubbard's recall of incidents in his own past, centuries ago." [17]

Notes on the Lectures of L. Ron Hubbard [2]

The Organization Executive Course and Management Series (12 volumes) [2]

The Problems of Work (1956) [2]
Purification: An Illustrated Answer to Drugs [2]
Research and Discovery Series [2]

Science of Survival (June 1951)
In this book, Hubbard introduced concepts that were later to become key elements of Scientology: theta, the tone scale, and the possibility of past lives. It contains a description of how theta interacts with the physical universe of matter, energy, space and time—termed MEST. The book is written around a Chart of Human Evaluation, providing a complete description of the tone scale and the components of emotion—the triangle of Affinity, Reality and Communication and how these components work together (ARC). [18] [8] [19]

Scientology: A History of Man (July 1952)
Also known as History of Man and its original title What to Audit, this book Hubbard gives ample general case data and rudimentary instructions on how to audit the "Whole Track" (all of the incidents lived by the individual—known as the thetan) and certain common incidents found in all genetic entities (the theta entity apart from the individual himself, which has been found to play a key role in the evolution and development of the body). Among the genetic entity case stories are some of single-celled organisms, clams, sloths and neanderthals. On the thetan's whole track are incidents loosely called "space opera," including "implants," which are strong engrams deliberately inflicted on the victim for political purposes.
One of Hubbard's first documented writings on the process of "theta clearing" was in the book, where Hubbard states, "Theta clearing is about as practical and simple as repairing a shoelace. It has nothing to do with hypnotism, voodooism, charlatanism, monkeyism or eosophy. Done, the thetan can do anything a stage magician can do in the way of moving objects around." (p.59) [12]

Scientology: A New Slant on Life (1976)
Compiled from works by Hubbard, it contains such Scientology articles as "Is It Possible to Be Happy?", "Two Rules for Happy Living", "Personal Integrity", and "'The Anti-Social Personality." "A New Slant On Life is a highly practical handbook for the reader seeking to understand himself or herself, and discover his or her own answers." [20] [21] [22]

Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought (1956)
This book contains all basic Dianetics and Scientology principles and processes developed to the individual and their life as a game. A basic concept in the book is that life is a game no matter what, and that the basic variable is the degree to which the individual knows what games they are playing and the degree to which they can knowingly come up with new ones. [23]
The Scientology Handbook (1994)
The Scientology Handbook is an 871-page handbook published by the Church of Scientology. [24] Although Hubbard is listed as the sole author, it is described as having been "compiled by the LRH Book Compilation Staff of the Church of Scientology International". [25]

Scientology 0–8: The Book of Basics [2]

Scientology 8-80 (November 1952)
This book contains the basic laws by which the thetan is able to create energy and therefore influence the environment around him. It also therefore includes newly developed processing related to energy production and stuck or uncontrolled energy over which the thetan is not taking responsibility.

Scientology 8-8008 (December 1952)
This is one of the most important books in Scientology. The number 8-8008 is a symbolism for the reduction of the MEST universe to zero and expansion of one's own universe to infinity. This book deals in the subject of postulates, considerations and the way in which the individual perceives and therefore creates the physical universe and also his own universe. Processing here deals with the complete rehabilitation of one's own universe so that one can cause an effect on the shared physical universe.

Self Analysis (August 1951)
Included in this book are the laws of survival and abundance, the most embracive description of consciousness, humanity's efforts for immortality and its relationship to matter, energy, space and time, Essays describing a broad array of discoveries including time, remembering, forgetting, imagination, valences and special auditing lists for each. This book also includes self-processing lists that provide the most powerful of auditing and which can be done anywhere and at any time.
The Technical Bulletins of Dianetics and Scientology (18 volumes) [2]
Understanding [2]
Understanding the E-Meter [2]
The Way to Happiness (1981)
In this book, Hubbard wrote a set of relatively loose, common-sense guidelines to achieving happiness.

Notes

  1. ↑ Quote: [Mr. Hubbard's testamentary trust] has continued Mr. Hubbard's practice of copyrighting his works and licensing the rights to produce and distribute Scriptural material to Bridge, New Era or CSI, as appropriate. In order to continue using Mr. Hubbard's name in the copyright notices (copyright notices of posthumous works must be in the name of the decedent's executor or personal representative), the executor of his estate (and later the trustee of the Trust) registered and used the fictitious name "L. Ron Hubbard Library" as a legal form of operation. As a result, copyright notices on Mr. Hubbard's posthumously registered works read "L. Ron Hubbard Library" rather than the individual name of Mr. Hubbard's personal representative. [4] : 54, Bates 150131 
  2. ↑ Quote: There are also many books published by Scientology organisations as "based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard". These usually are selected and thematically linked passages from his original books. [1] : 9 
  3. ↑ Quote: [The books] list no author or editor. The covers all say "Based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard", and the copyright registration is held by the L. Ron Hubbard Library, the business alias of the Church of Scientology's corporate alter ego, the Church of Spiritual Technology. ... The decision to list no author or editor was made by Scientology's publisher, Bridge Publications, on the grounds that: "Mr. Hubbard was the author of the ideas and the technology of study... As they are Mr. Hubbard's ideas and methodologies, and his alone, Bridge Publications assigned the credit where it is incontrovertibly due, to L. Ron Hubbard, the originator." (Scott D. Welch, Senior Vice President of Bridge Publications, in a letter to the editor of Education Week, published October 10, 1997) [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Scientology beliefs and practices</span> Scientology beliefs and practices

The Church of Scientology maintains a wide variety of beliefs and practices. The core belief holds that a human is an immortal, spiritual being (thetan) that is resident in a physical body. The thetan has had innumerable past lives, some of which, preceding the thetan's arrival on Earth, were lived in extraterrestrial cultures. Based on case studies at advanced levels, it is predicted that any Scientologist undergoing auditing will eventually come across and recount a common series of past-life events.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Thetan</span> Scientology concept of life-force

In Scientology, the concept of the thetan is similar to the concept of self, or the spirit or soul as found in several belief systems. The term is derived from the Greek letter Θ, theta, which in Scientology beliefs represents "the source of life, or life itself." In Scientology it is believed that it is the thetan, not the central nervous system, which commands the body.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Operating Thetan</span> In Scientology, an ostensibly spiritual status above Clear

In Scientology, Operating Thetan (OT) is a state of complete spiritual freedom in which one is a "willing and knowing cause over life, thought, matter, energy, space and time". The Church of Scientology offers eight "levels" of OT, each level costing thousands of US dollars. The OT levels are confidential and not revealed to Scientologists until they reach the third Operating Thetan level. In practice, the objective of these levels is to remove "body thetans" which are "confused, disembodied souls from other planets who have attached themselves to us".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">R2-45</span> Scientology slang for murder or suicide by gun

R2-45 is Scientology slang for murder or suicide by gun. Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard described it as "an enormously effective process for exteriorization but its use is frowned upon by this society at this time". In Scientology doctrine, exteriorization refers to the separation of the thetan (soul) from the body, a phenomenon which Hubbard asserts can be achieved through Scientology auditing. R2-45 is said to be a process by which exteriorization could be produced by shooting a person in the head with a .45 caliber pistol. This literal meaning is acknowledged by the Church of Scientology, although they deny that it is meant seriously.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Auditing (Scientology)</span> Methodology of Scientologists

Auditing, also known as processing, is the core practice of Scientology. Scientologists believe that the role of auditing is to improve a person's abilities and to reduce or eliminate their neuroses. The Scientologist is asked questions about past events while holding two tin cans attached to an electrical resistance meter (galvanometer) with a dial. The term "auditing" was coined by L. Ron Hubbard in his 1950 book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health which describes the process. Auditing uses techniques from hypnosis that are intended to create dependency and obedience in the subject.

<i>Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health</i> 1950 book by L. Ron Hubbard

Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, sometimes abbreviated as DMSMH, is a book by L. Ron Hubbard about Dianetics, a pseudoscientific system that he claimed to have developed from a combination of personal experience, basic principles of Eastern philosophy and the work of Sigmund Freud. The book is considered part of Scientology's canon. It is colloquially referred to by Scientologists as Book One. The book launched the movement, which later defined itself as a religion, in 1950. As of 2013, New Era Publications, the international publishing company of Hubbard's works, sells the book in English and in 50 other languages.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Space opera in Scientology</span>

Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard explicitly compared his teachings to the science-fiction subgenre space opera. In his writings, wherein thetans were reincarnated periodically over quadrillions of years, retaining memories of prior lives, to which Hubbard attributed complex narratives about life throughout the universe. The most controversial of these myths is the story of Xenu, to whom Hubbard attributed responsibility for many of the world's problems.

In Dianetics and Scientology, Clear is a status afforded to followers by the Scientology organization, or by other Scientologists, after they complete certain activities. It is one of the major ostensible "states" practitioners strive to reach on their way up what the Scientologists call the Bridge to Total Freedom. Scientology followers are given the status of Clear when a person is deemed to be free of the influence of engrams – supposed unwanted emotions or painful traumas which Scientology claims are not readily available to the conscious mind. Scientologists believe that human beings accumulate anxieties, psychosomatic illnesses, and aberration due to receiving engrams throughout their current or past lives, and that by applying Dianetics, every single person can obtain the status of Clear.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">MEST (Scientology)</span> Scientology term

MEST is an acronym for matter, energy, space and time, and means the physical universe. It was coined in 1950 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and is spoken as a word rather than spelling out the letters.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Engram (Dianetics)</span> Scientologys mental image of an unconscious past traumatic event

An engram, as used in Dianetics and Scientology, is a detailed mental image or memory of a traumatic event from the past that occurred when an individual was partially or fully unconscious. It is considered to be pseudoscientific and is different from the meaning of "engram" in cognitive psychology. According to Dianetics and Scientology, from conception onwards, whenever something painful happens while the "analytic mind" is unconscious, engrams are supposedly being recorded and stored in an area of the mind Scientology calls the "reactive mind".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of Dianetics and Scientology</span> Early events related to Dianetics

History of Dianetics and Scientology begins around 1950. During the late 1940s, L. Ron Hubbard began developing a mental therapy system which he called Dianetics. Hubbard had tried to interest the medical profession in his techniques, including the Gerontological Society, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the American Journal of Psychiatry, but his work was rejected for not containing sufficient evidence of efficacy to be acceptable.

<i>A Piece of Blue Sky</i> 1990 book about Scientology and Dianetcs

A Piece of Blue Sky: Scientology, Dianetics and L. Ron Hubbard Exposed is a 1990 book about L. Ron Hubbard and the development of Dianetics and Scientology, authored by British former Scientologist Jon Atack.

According to the author, it provides "a coldblooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years." It has gone through many editions since its first publication and is a key text of the Church of Scientology. The book has been ridiculed by critics of Scientology for its unusual writing style and pseudoscientific claims; it has been described as "a slim pretense at scientific method ... blended with a strange amalgam of psychotherapy, mysticism and pure science fiction; mainly the latter."

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Scientology and religious groups</span>

The relationship between Scientology and religious groups is very complex. While Scientology claims that it is fully compatible with all existing major world religions and that it does not conflict with them or their religious practices, there are significant contradictions between Scientology and most religions, especially the major monotheistic religions. Members are not allowed to engage in other similar mental therapies or procedures, religious or otherwise.
