Ron Hubbard's personal philosophy was to help people accomplish all they were capable of accomplishing. One aspect of his doing this was the Writers and Illustrators of the Future contest and the Science Fiction and Fantasy publication by that same name that appears is published annually.

Ron Hubbard's Own Philosophy In an essay titled My Philosophy, L. Ron Hubbard once wrote: “I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself from the shadows which darken his days.” I've always been impressed with L. Ron Hubbard's care and with how true he was to his own philosophy as stated above, but now that I'm studying the Scientology basic books and lectures this has comejennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764288.post-3891371741431625362007-09-18T21:20:00.000-07:002007-09-18T22:27:27.125-07:00What Motivates Mankind?While it is true that I'll go a long way to avoid pain, it's also true that I'll put up with an awful lot of pain and discomfort to accomplish a pleasurable goal. I remember one time staying up three days straight to finish an art project because "I was so close" and didn't want to lose my train of thought. And when I finished I was so tired I could hardly move, but I was so happy!

Ron Hubbard wrote a book called Self Analysis in which he said, "Probably the most neglected friend you have is you." The other day I was going through a rough spot and I pulled this out and this line resonated. I realized I needed to make friends with myself again, and started using the techniques in the book.

Ever wonder how the mind can turn emotional reaction into physical reaction?

Ron Hubbard comes from the first chapter of Self Analysis: Ron wrote: Are you a friend of yours? Probably the most neglected friend you have is you. And yet every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself.This was a new concept when he wrote it in 1951, but even though others have spoken of this since then, Self jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764288.post-69191318493229807132007-08-17T18:04:00.000-07:002007-08-17T21:28:36.233-07:00Idealism in Early Scientology WritingsI was really fascinated to find out that L. Ron Hubbard was intent on a social mission from the very beginning of the Scientology movement. I knew that the aims of Scientology are aligned in that direction. I just had no idea he was looking at this way back in 1950 and 1951.

When I first read this, America was at war and Viet Nam was where the US and the Soviet Union were squaring off. We were right in the heart of the arms race. "Terrorism" hadn't made it into our vocabulary. Al Queda had yet to be born. Iran was an ally and Iraq wasn't a subject of discussion.

Ron Hubbard's BirthdayAs we approach March 13th, all Scientology churches are racing to complete what we call the LRH Birthday Game. It's a great contest. It pits each church against every other church in competition, but they are competing for how much they are helping their parishioners and their community. Typical of LRH that he'd create a game that would result in helping people, all over the world.

One was a teenage when he ran away from home to join the Navy and served under LRH during World War II; there was a woman who was a young girl back in 1937 when LRH wrote the book Excalibur.
