Scientology Books by L. Ron Hubbard

<sup>The new Scientology web site has videos of recent events, including the release of all the books and lectures of L. Ron Hubbard. You can find out what a breakthrough achievement is was to correct the books and what it took to do so. David Miscavige does the presentation. It is really worth watching. I've been reading the books and listening to the lectures and the quality of presentation of both is just the best.

Are You a Friend of Yours

The book Self Analysis was written so that anyone who wants to improve their awareness, ability, happiness, stability and any of many qualities that make for a better life can pick up the book and use its exercises to accomplish just that.

One of my favorite LRH quotes comes from this book:

Are you a freind of yours?

Probably the mosts neglected friend you have is you. And het every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself."

You've probably heard something like that before. Maybe your mother told you something like that, or your favorite teacher. but I bet they didn't tell you HOW. That's the difference between L. Ron Hubbard and the rest of the people who give you advice like this. LRH delivers!

The World Scene -- Has it Really Changed?

I was just reading the Dianetics book and came across one of my favorite passages.

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.

The more things change the more they remain the same?

Here's the quote. I think you will see what I mean.

"No nation ever fully won a war. No nation ever finally triumphed by force of arms. No nation ever averted war by posing threat or exhibiting defense.

"Man is now faced, by these pyramiding hatreds, with weapons so powerful that Man himself may vanish from the Earth. There is no problem in the control of these weapons. They explode when and where Man tells them to explode. The problem is in the control of Man.

"There is no national problem in the world today which cannot be resolved by reason alone. All factors inhibiting a solution of the problem of war and weapons are arbitrary factors and have no more validity than the justified explanations of a their or murdered."

I recommend to anyone who really wants to do something effective about the situation we live in to read the Dianetics book. Last month a new edition of this book was released, as announced by David Miscavige at an international Scientology event. You can find a copy at the web site for Bridge Publications.

Are You Worth a Bit of Effort?

If, by dedicating a few weeks of study, you could greatly increase your understanding of yourself, your past, the people you know and people in general, wouldn't you put the time in to checking it out?

At an event held in Clearwater Florida a few weeks ago, and shown in every Scientology Church in the world over the past few weeks, David Miscavige announced the release of the Basic Scientology and Dianetics books and lectures, otherwise known simply as "The Basics."

The books are beautiful and so easy to read. They contain very comprehensive glossaries, not only of Scientology and Dianetics terms, but of other terminology that might not be fully understood. Everything has been done to make it simple read and understand these books, including an extension course anyone can enroll on to get individualized supervision by a staff member at a Scientology church to help you make sure you get it.

And these books contain the answers to so many questions.

I got my full set and have been reading them chronologically. I am amazed by the breadth of knowledge of L. Ron Hubbard and his skill as a writer in imparting it.

At the event in Florida, David Miscavige went into great detail on the books. It's an event well worth watching, and for anyone interested in learning about Scientology and Dianetics I recommend a visit to your nearest Scientology church or mission to watch it.

"The materials of Dianetics and Scientology comprise the largest body of information ever assembled on the mind, spirit and life, rigorously refined and codified by L. Ron Hubbard through five decades of research, investigation and development. The results of that work are contained in hundreds of books and more than 3,000 recorded lectures.

"The books and lectures that follow form the foundation upon which The Bridge to Freedom is built. "

This is the description on the new web site at Bridge Publications of the fantastic new release of the Golden Age of Knowledge -- new editions of all 18 basic books by L. Ron Hubbard, announced this past week at an event by David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center in a brilliant speech that described all the work that went into the project.

These books are absolutely beautiful. But that's not all. Because all the original tape recorded lectures describing the research that went into these books have now also come out in CD form, with glossaries and transcripts. All totally state of the art!

You can order them online (I have!)
