L. Ron Hubbard Advocated Silent Birth in Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health
There's a good story today from AP that's been picked up far and wide, about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' planned silent birth.
But to really understand the significance of silent birth people should read Dianetics the Modern Science of Mental Health. This was the book L. Ron Hubbard wrote to make Dianetics techniques broadly available, but it also is a full description of the reactive mind, and why Scientologists always try to maintain silence around an ill or injured and unconscious or partially unconscious person.
This coming weekend, Scientologists around the world will be participating in a Book-a-thon to make Dianetics books available to people in their communities.
I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is brilliant and extremely helpful.
Scientology churches also have Dianetics workshops. For more information contact a Scientology church or mission and ask them when their next workshop is being held.
