From the Horse's Mouth Fact sheet 4 (rev1):
L. Ron Hubbard's Broken Promises and False Claims Documented (This
version: November 2008) Here is another work in progress, which should be helpful in discussing the many claims and promises made by L. Ron Hubbard regarding Dianetics and Scientology, many of which can be easily proved or disproved in the laboratory. Paragraph A of the License Agreement of the Hubbard Ecclesiastical League of Pastors/Field Auditors (Marks), L. Ron Hubbard's "writings and recorded spoken words with respect to SCIENTOLOGY applied religious philosophy and the organizations formed for the purpose thereof" are the Scientology Scriptures. The quotes which follow are from the irrefutable "Source" so far I have been able to track down and verify references in many books published by the CoS themselves less than a year ago, as well as Hubbard Communications Office documents and the recorded lectures given by L. Ron Hubbard. Many of these can be found in university and public libraries around the world, as well as online. I will update this as I find other reliable sources. Thanks again to the anon who provided me with the actual books, hard bound and in the factory wrappers. I have finished my first reading of all 18, and will soon be beginning more in-depth study. “The hidden source of all psychosomatic ills and human aberration has been discovered and skills have been developed for their invariable cure.” [Dianetics. i.] “With the techniques presented in this handbook, the intelligent layman can successfully treat all psychosomatic ills and inorganic aberrations.” [Dianetics. i.] “…the skills offered in this handbook will produce the Dianetic Clear, an optimum individual with intelligence considerably greater than the current normal, or the Dianetic Release, an individual who has been freed from his major anxieties or illnesses.” [Dianetics. i.] “…the Release will not relapse.” [Dianetics. i.] “The Clear, the goal of Dianetic therapy, can be created from psychotic, neurotic, deranged, criminal or normal people if they have organically sound nervous systems.” [Dianetics. iii.] “Cleared, “I” is able to reach all moments of his lifetime without exertion or discomfort and perceive all he has ever sensed, recalling them in full motion, color, sound, tone and other senses.” [Dianetics. vii.] “Of what must a science of the mind be composed? … “3. Invariant scientific evidence as to the basic nature and functional background of the human mind. “4. Techniques …by which the discovered single source could be invariably cured. “5. Methods of prevention of mental derangement. “6. The …cure of all psychosomatic ills…” [Dianetics. 9-10.] “A science of the mind, if it were truly worthy of that name, would have to rank, in experimental precision, with physics and chemistry. There could be no “special cases” to its laws. There could be no recourse to Authority.” [Dianetics. 10.] “…Dianetics does and is these things: “1. It is an organized science of thought built on definite axioms: statements of natural laws on the order of those of the physical sciences. "2. It contains a therapeutic technique with which can be treated all inorganic mental ills and all organic psychosomatic ills, with assurance of complete cure in unselected cases. ... “6. The single source of mental derangement is discovered and demonstrated, on a clinical or laboratory basis, by Dianetics. ... “11. A workable explanation of the physiological effects of drugs and endocrine substances exists in Dianetics and many problems posed by endocrinology are answered. ... “13. The field of cytology is aided by Dianetics, as well as other fields of research.” [Dianetics. 10-11.] “A Clear can be tested for any and all psychoses, neuroses, compulsions and repressions (all aberrations) and can be examined for any autogenic (self-generated) diseases referred to as psycho-somatic ills. These tests confirm the Clear to be entirely without such ills or aberrations. Additional tests of his intelligence indicate it to be high above the current norm.” [Dianetics. 13.] “A neurotic individual, possessed also of psychosomatic ills, can be tested for those aberrations and illnesses, demonstrating that they exist. He can then be given Dianetic therapy to the end of clearing these neuroses and ills. Finally, he can be examined, with the above results. This, in passing, is an experiment which has been performed many times with invariable results. It is a matter of laboratory test that all individuals who have organically complete nervous systems respond in this fashion to Dianetic clearing.” [Dianetics. 13-14.] “One of the incidental things which happen to a clear is that his eyesight, if it had been bad as an aberree, generally improves markedly, and with some slight attention will recover optimum perception in time.” [Dianetics. 16.] “Any person can be cleared unless he has been so unfortunate as to have had a large portion of his brain removed or to have been born with a grossly malformed nervous structure.” [Dianetics. 24.] “…a human being, growing from zygote to adult, evolutes through all the forms which the whole species is supposed to have evolved through.” [Dianetics. 30.] “Two hundred and seventy-three individuals have been examined and treated, representing all the various types of inorganic mental illness and the many varieties of psycho-somatic ills. In each one this reactive mind was found operating, its principles unvaried.” [Dianetics. 64-65.] “Discharge the content of this mind’s bank and the arthritis vanishes, myopia gets better, heart illness decreases, asthma disappears, stomachs function properly, and the whole catalogue of ills goes away and stays away. “Discharge the reactive engram bank and the schizophrenic faces reality at last, the manic-depressive sets forth to accomplish things, the neurotic stops clinging to books which tell him how much he needs his neuroses and begins to live, the woman stops snapping at her children and the dipsomaniac can drink when he likes and stop. “These are scientific facts. They compare invariably with observed experience.” [Dianetics. 65-66.] “If you care to make the experiment you can take a man, render him “unconscious,” hurt him and give him information. By Dianetic technique, no matter what information you gave him, it can be recovered.” [Dianetics. 69.] “In “normal people,” in the neurotic and insane, the removal of these engrams wholly or in part, without other therapy, has uniformly brought about a state greatly superior to the current norm.” [Dianetics. 84.] “…on the level of laboratory observation, we discover much to our astonishment that cells are evidently sentient…” [Dianetics. 87.] “…by dianetic therapy any experience occurring during sleep can be recovered with ease.” [Dianetics. 89.] “Any perception can be occluded in recall. And whenever it is occluded in recall, it affects actual perception and the organ of perception as well. “You can’t see!” may reduce not only recall but the actual organic ability of the eyes, as in astigmatism or myopia.” [Dianetics. 109.] “Psycho-somatic illnesses are those which have a mental origin but which are nevertheless organic. Despite the fact that there existed no precise scientific proof of this before Dianetics… Peptic ulcers... Allergies... “The problem of psycho-somatic illness is entirely embraced by Dianetics, and by Dianetic technique such illness has been eradicated entirely in every case.” [Dianetics. 111.] “Clears rarely have accidents.” [Dianetics. 112.] “Arthritis, dermatitis, allergies, asthma, some coronary difficulties, eye trouble, bursitis, ulcers, sinusitis, etc. form a very small section of the psycho-somatic catalogue. Bizarre aches and pains in various portions of the body are generally psycho-somatic. Migraine headaches are psycho-somatic and, with the others, are uniformly cured by Dianetic therapy. (And the word cured is used in its fullest sense.)” [Dianetics. 113.] “…the common cold has been found to be psycho-somatic. Clears do not get colds. Just what, if any, part the virus plays in the common cold is not known, but it is known that when engrams about colds are lifted, no further colds appear -- which is a laboratory fact not so far contradicted by 270 cases.” [Dianetics. 113.] “A number of germ diseases are predisposed and perpetuated by engrams. Tuberculosis is one.” [Dianetics. 113.] “At the present time Dianetic research is scheduled to include cancer and diabetes. There are a number of reasons to suppose that these may be engramic in cause, particularly malignant cancer.” [Dianetics. 114.] “…it can be predicted with confidence that the deletion of engrams from the reactive bank has a marked effect upon the extension of life. A hundred years or so from now this data will be available, but no Clears have lived that long as yet.” [Dianetics. 117.] “…the scientific fact is that when an engram is picked up and deleted about an area containing arthritis, that arthritis vanishes and does not return and this is X-ray plate evidence. “ [Dianetics. 121.] “...it happens every time and does not happen because of any suggestion or medicine; it happens because an engram is picked up and refiled. As the engram goes away, so goes the pain, so vanishes the arthritis. This forms a whole class of ills, of which arthritis is only one. The mechanisms involved vary slightly. All can be headed under “physical derangement caused by reduced body fluid flow.” “Class 1b of psycho-somatic ills, magnification of fluid flow, contains such things as high blood pressure, diarrhea, sinusitis, priapism (overactivity of the male sex glands), or any other physical condition resulting from a superabundance of fluid. “Class 2a can cause such things as a withered arm, a foreshortened nose, underdeveloped genital organs or any other underdevelopment of a gland having to do with size (which cross-classes this with 1a), hairlessness (which also like the rest can be part of the gene pattern and therefore inherent), and in short reduction in size of any part of the body. “Class 2b causes such things as oversized hands, a lengthened nose, oversized ears, enlarged organs and other common physical malformations. (Cancer might possibly come under this heading as overhealing.) “Class 3 would include tuberculosis (some cases), liver trouble, kidney trouble, rashes, common colds, etc. (cross-classing with others, as do all of these in one way or another). “Class 4 would include those diseases which, arising without psycho-somatic influence, yet fix upon by accident a previously injured area and by restimulation, keep an engram keyed-in in that area so that a condition becomes chronic. Tuberculosis could be included here. Conjunctivitis, all running sores and any condition which refuses to heal, etc. “This fourth class would also include all bizarre pains and sicknesses which cannot be found to have actual pathology. “Class 5 includes an enormously wide catalogue of conditions, any one of which may cross-index to other classes or which arise solely out of engrams which dictate the presence or necessity of an illness. “You always have colds,” “I have sore feet,” etc. announce a psychosomatic illness and the mechanisms of the body can furnish one.” [Dianetics. 121-122.] “Antipathy toward children means a blocked second dynamic. Physiological examination of anyone with such blockage will demonstrate a physical derangement of the genitalia or glands.” [Dianetics. 162.] “All these things are scientific facts, tested and rechecked and tested again. And with them can be produced a clear on whom our racial future depends.” [Dianetics. 162.] “There is genetic insanity but it is limited to the case of actually missing parts.” [Dianetics. 163.] “Conditioning does not, however, exist. Pavlov may have been able to drive dogs mad by repeated experiments…. But it was not conditioning. The dogs went mad because they were given engrams if and when they did go mad. A series of such experiments, properly conducted and observed, proves this contention.” [Dianetics. 175.] “Take any one of these “criminals” and Clear him and the society regains a rational being of which it can use all it can get.” [Dianetics. 180.] ““Toothache” is normally psycho-somatic. Organic illnesses, enough to fill several catalogues, are psycho-somatic.” [Dianetics. 185.] “Cleared drivers could have accidents only through two sources: (a) mechanical failure and, more important, (b) because of accident prone people.” [Dianetics. 189.] “Morning sickness is entirely engramic, so far as can be discovered, since Clears have not so far experienced it during their own pregnancies.” [Dianetics. 192.] “The result of this will bring about… optimum analytical ability for the individual and, with that, all recall. The experience of his entire life is available to the clear and he has all his inherent mental ability and imagination free to use it. His physical vitality and health are markedly improved and all psycho-somatic illnesses have vanished and will not return. He has greater resistance to actual disease... His ethical and moral standards are high… he is creative and constructive. It is not yet known how much longevity is added to a life in the process of clearing, but… it is most certainly raised.” [Dianetics. 207-208.] “A Clear, for instance, has complete recall of everything which has ever happened to him or anything he has ever studied. He does mental computations, such as those of chess, for example, which a normal would do in a half an hour, in ten or fifteen seconds.” [Dianetics. 208.] “…while that engram existed, unentered, it was fully capable of sending people to an institution to lie in a fetal position. Anyone left in institutions who has not been given shocks or pre-frontal lobotomy and who suffers from this type of insanity can be released from such an engram and restored to present time simply by use of Repeater Technique. It sometimes takes only half an hour.” [Dianetics. 260-261.] “This is so observably the case that when an individual is being cleared, growth process begins to bring the body up to genetic blueprint even before the case is completed: the change which takes place in the physical being of the patient is sometimes so remarkable and so marked that it is far more startling than the mere disappearance of a catalogue of psycho-somatic ills such as coronary, ulcers, arthritis, allergies, and so on.” [Dianetics. 301.] “The mother, subject to high blood pressure, continually brought about a condition of great pain in the unborn infant… This is a prime source of migraine headache.” [Dianetics. 324.] “It is too often the case that birth, if prematurely contacted, will give the patient a headache and a cold.” [Dianetics. 351.] “The chronic alcoholic is physically and mentally ill. Dianetics can clear him or even merely release him without too much trouble for alcohol is apparently not physiological in its addictive effect.” [Dianetics. 436.] “C’s therapy was progressing… her I.Q. went up about fifty points after five weeks of therapy…” [Dianetics. 449.] “An auditor could walk through any sanitarium and simply tell patient after patient “come up to present time,” and he would find that some very small percentage of the “insane” people would come up to present time and would begin to be sane: this has been done several times, with some astonishing results.” [Science. 120.] “…[I]n war, cities which are under sporadic bombardment show a lower incidence of psychosis than cities which, far behind the lines, only read about the deaths in newspapers.” [Science. 199.] “These show swift rises in intelligence and marked betterment of personality in ratio to the amount of processing done.” [Science. 219.] “…and elderly woman who had been bedridden for sixteen years… disabled with locomotor ataxia to be unable to take a single step. She was processed for four weeks… and at the end of this time had lost her symptoms and was walking by herself.” [Science. 220 (footnote).] “…the running of engrams reduces the amount of vitamin B1 in the system.” [Science. 262.] “…if one went through a sanitarium and told patients one after the other “Come up to present time” a certain low percentage of the inmates would thereupon become sane. The simple fact of being in present time is in itself a factor of sanity. At a certain sanatarium, some doctors made this test with the patients, and one of these, who had been insane for a considerable period, who ordinarily refused to talk, and whose face was a mask of acne, responded to this command, and as a result of no other ministration returned to present time and to sanity.” [Science. 269-270.] “There is no argument concerning the existence of prenatals. They… have been adequately proven by experiment at Rutgers University.” [Science. 275.] “One specialist in Parkinson’s disease in New York City, although he did not understand very much about Dianetic processing, used straight memory to achieve the alleviation of Parkinson’s disease, at least temporarily, in three cases out of five on which it was employed.” [Science. 288.] “One can also do this trick with lock scanning: he can refresh an education. An individual can be given an examination in, let us say, history, eighth grade. He can then be lock-scanned through the actual study of history in the eighth grade and given another examination. It will ordinarily be found that he will receive a higher grade after he has been lock-scanned through that educational period. And yet the lock scanning may not have required more than fifteen or twenty minutes. In this wise, lock-scanning is an excellent trick for those about to take an examination on academic subjects.” [Science. 360.] “The auditor can walk into a maternity ward and take over the case of some young mother who… has developed a post-partum psychosis and can audit out the birth in its entirety.” [Science. 391.] “The individual who is receiving this auditing will, according to observation, recover much more rapidly from the illness or accident, the healing will be cleaner, the incidence of infection will be less, and the seriousness of the injury and the shock contained in it will be greatly reduced by the reduction of the moment of injury itself. It is hoped that sooner or later an auditor will stand at the emergency entrance of some hospital simply to audit all accident victims who come in, and that the statistics of infection rate and mortality rate of this hospital’s patients will be compared with those of other hospitals. Evidence indicates that the mortality rate will be much lower on those who have had the last injury audited out, that the incidence of infection will be less, and that the time of recovery of the patient will be greatly shortened by this Dianetic assist.” [Science. 391-392.] “…the scientific evidence which continues to accumulate in Dianetics, what these frontiers and the knowledge they embrace will do to alter or enhance Man’s culture cannot at this time be estimated. For example, even at this time in Dianetics, one can prove, as science demands proof (in terms of sensing, measuring, and experiencing), the immortality or near immortality of the individual.” [Science. 485.] “This is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner.” [History. 3.] “Further, it is very hard to argue with a miracle. Today, Eleanor has arthritis. She is audited whole track with 1952 techniques. Tonight she doesn’t have arthritis. Miracles using whole track are plentiful.” [History. 6.] “Cancer has reportedly been eradicated by auditing out conception and mitosis.” [History. 31.] “It is called FACSIMILE ONE because it is the first proven-up whole track incident which, when audited out of a long series of people, was found to eradicate such things as asthma, sinus trouble, chronic chills and a host of other ills.” [History. 103.] “Scientology can demonstrate that it can attain… wisdom, good health, and immortality.” [Slant. 25.] “A Scientologist can make an individual well, happy and grant him personal immortality, simply by addressing the human spirit.” [Slant. 26-27.] “It is a discovery of Scientology—a discovery susceptible to the most arduous scientific proofs—that people are not bodies…” [Slant. 27.] “Arthritis of the knee, for instance, is the accumulation of all knee injuries in the past. … The proof of this is that when the knee injuries of the past are located and discharged, the arthritis ceases… And this happens ten cases out of ten…” [Slant. 74.] “Take a bad heart. … Find and eradicate or nullify an actual physical injury to the heart and the heart …gets well. “Nothing is easier to prove than these tenets.” [Slant. 74.] “Scientology… can predictably raise intelligence…” [Slant. 129.] “Look what has to be done to the true story of Scientology in order to “make it a news story”... Conflict must be injected where there is none. Therefore, the press has to dream up upset and conflict.” [Slant. 260.] “In actual fact, the developer of the philosophy was very well grounded in academic subjects and the humanities, probably better grounded in formal philosophy alone than teachers of philosophy in universities” [Slant. 261.] “My service record states… ‘permanently disabled physically.’” [Slant. 274.] “Scientology, used by the trained and untrained person, can improve the health, intelligence, ability, behavior, skill and appearance of people.” [Fundamentals. 6.] “It is interesting that people only need to study Scientology to have some small rise in their own intelligence…” [Fundamentals. 7.] “in July 1952 in Phoenix, Arizona, I established along scientific rather than religious or humanitarian lines … that: That thing which is the person… is separable from the body and the mind at will and without causing bodily death or mental derangement.” [Fundamentals. 65.] “Phrases spoken over an anaesthetized person can have a later effect upon that person. It is not necessarily true that each and every portion of an operation is painstakingly “photographed” by the reactive mind of the unconscious patient. But it is true that a great many of these stimuli are registered.” [Fundamentals. 70.] “the use of electrical shock was never intended to be therapeutic, but was intended only to bring about obedience by duress, and, as far as it can be discovered, to make the entirety of insanity a horror. Electrical shock… is always succeeded by bad health or physical difficulties and never does otherwise than hasten the death of the person.” [Fundamentals. 74.] “Scientology… is the only science or study known which is capable of uniformly producing marked and significant increases in intelligence and general ability. “Scientology processing amongst other things can improve the intelligence quotient of an individual, his ability or desire to communicate, his social attitudes, his capability and domestic harmony, his fertility, his artistic creativity, his reaction time and his health.” [Fundamentals. 114.] “the science of Dianetics and its results… are as demonstrable as the proposition that water, at fifteen pounds per square inch and 212° F. boils…” [Evolution. 8.] “…what we refer to, ordinarily, as conditioning, is actually an engram command laid down in a specific moment. This is easily susceptible of clinical proof. The conditioning of a lifetime on the subject… breaks down the instant that the engram command demanding it is deintensified.” [Evolution. 79.] “…the objective reality of prenatal engrams is evidently quite valid. Any psychologist can check this…” [Evolution. 98.] “Where do people get ulcers? In the womb usually, AA.” (AA is LRH’s abbreviation for Attempted Abortions) [Evolution. 98.] “What’s that chronic cough? That’s mama’s cough which compressed the baby… when he was five days after conception.” [Evolution. 98.] “What’s arthritis? Fetal damage or embryo damage.” [Evolution. 98.] “…a Clear can control all his body fluids.” [Evolution. 98.] “What’s TB? …The psychosomatic ills, the arthritis, the impotence, this and that, they can go away when the engrams are cleared…” [Evolution. 99.] “…Dianetics is easy to apply… and can relieve his occlusions and colds and arthritis and other psychosomatic ills.” [Evolution. 103.] “The intention of this book is to decrease your reaction time, improve your efficiency and well being, to extend your life.” [Handbook. 2.] “The data in this new science aren’t isolated opinions, but a structural whole. And with that whole, one can accomplish an occasional miracle and can almost always effect a marked improvement in an individual. [Handbook. 18.] “The first spark of life which began animating matter upon Earth began recording facsimiles. And it recorded from there on out. It is interesting that the entire file is available to any mind.” [Handbook. 38.] “…facsimilies produce over 70 percent of the illness of Man and make him weak enough to fall prey to the diseases and accidents which account for the other 30. Sinusitis, arthritis, eye trouble, liver difficulties, ulcers, migraine headaches, polio aftereffects and so on… surrender if one reduces the facsimile causing the trouble.” [Handbook. 60.] “If you were simply to walk through an insane asylum and tell each inmate, “Come up to present time,” a small percentage would immediately become sane and stay sane. ... It has been tried and has succeeded.” [Handbook. 119.] “…a totally blind man under processing stopped the session on the abrupt realization that he would see wholly and clearly…” [Handbook. 136.] “At the Foundation we can repair psychotics… in a relatively short period of time. …we are restoring the sanity and effectiveness of psychotics… We even restore psychotics who have been given “modern” treatments, shock and the rest of it.” [Handbook. 189.] “Nobody ever became ill without wanting to be ill at some earlier moment in his life. …a polio case, in bed two years… became ill because she felt sorry for another little girl who got polio and so decided to get it herself.” [Handbook. 208.] “Dianetics has been found to successfully resolve migraine headaches, ulcers, arthritis, astigmatism, bursitis, stammering, glandular imbalance, asthma, allergies, and other psychosomatic ills. It has also successfully removed any compulsions, repressions, neuroses, and psychoses to which it has been applied.” [Original. 1.] “Psychosomatic ills, hysterias, rages, tantrums, criminal acts and any and all content prejudicial to the survival of the organism in which the organism is seen to be indulging, has as its source the reactive mind.” [Original. 68.] “…no matter what his raving state, providing his brain structure is normal and complete, the basic personality is entirely sound and sane and will cooperate. After auditing the person will become this strong, competent and able personality.” [Original. 94.] “When a child is abnormally afraid of the dark, he probably has a prenatal experience.” [Original. 97.] “a standard patter during emergencies or stress creates certain types of engrams which in turn create types of insanities. Insanities are so definitely contagious that when a child is raised by aberrated parents, he himself becomes aberrated.” [Original. 107.] “…the removal of physically painful experience from the life of an individual, immeasurably increases both his dynamic force and his intelligence.” [Original. 123.] “…a prenatal human being can be severely torn and ripped without becoming structurally deficient.” [Original. 156.] “…large sections of the prenatal human being’s brain could apparently be injured without the brain being deficient or even scarred after birth.” [Original. 156-157.] “Unless the umbilical cord is severed or the heart is stopped, it is apparently the case that no damage, particularly in the earlier months, is too great for the organism to reconstruct.” [Original. 159.] “…one wished all his ailments upon himself.” [Advanced. 10.] “One can take a preclear, all unsuspecting of anything but the "lived only once theory", and throw him back with “efforts within efforts” into some remarkable experiences. This is a biologist’s dream, for he can look at original forms and trace genetic lines in individuals who may not even know of evolution. The genetic facsimiles of the whole evolution chain are on file and have thus been discovered.” [Advanced. 58.] “A process known as the “Remedy of Havingness” is capable of altering the weight of a man, upwards of twenty to thirty-five pounds, even though there is no change whatsoever in the diet or the living habits of that person. In other words, the life which is in the body of the man (and which is actually the man) can, by a certain process, increase the amount of mass of this man. Another process known as "Perfect Duplication" can reverse this, and again, without change of diet or the living habits of the man, decrease the amount of mass of a man without the complications of heat or waste-products being present. Thus, forthrightly and directly, in the same frame of reference as that used by the physicist, it is easily demonstrated that life does create mass and can cause mass to disappear.” [Dianetics 55. 23.] “It goes further and demonstrates that the awareness of awareness unit can bring about, without further contact, an energy flow in a body at a distance. This is a very startling demonstration, and is one of the more significant electrical discoveries of recent times. The conditions of the experiment are sufficiently rigorous to dispel any doubt, in the mind of a physicist, concerning the authenticity of the current.” [Dianetics 55. 28.] “…mental energy pictures …have considerable mass in them—mass which is measurable on a thing as common and as everyday as the bathroom scales. [Dianetics 55. 28.] “A Clear has this to a very marked degree. By actual check of many such cases, their moral behavior is intensely superior to that of people who pride themselves on “being good.”” [Dianetics 55. 45.] “…the awareness of awareness unit can control or even make physical bodies…” [Dianetics 55. 50.] “…at the rate of 2,000 mental patients a year dead under electric shock machines. And …a very high percentage dead under brain operations.” [Dianetics 55. 68.] “With Dianetics… we have assumed some control over insanity, neurosis, aberration and can actually start, stop and change aberration.” [Dianetics 55. 68.] “A man can be killed by too much conversation around him while he is injured.” [Dianetics 55. 82.] “…questioning by police is quite restimulative …and many severe complications after accidents have been traced immediately to this activity on the part of the police.” [Dianetics 55. 82.] “…one might go so far as to say that a bullet's arrival is a heavy sort of hypnotism. The individual receiving a bullet does not outflow a bullet and thus he is injured. If he could outflow a bullet immediately after receiving a bullet, we could introduce the interesting question: "Would he be wounded?" According to our rule he would not be. Indeed, if he were in perfect communication with his environment, he could not even receive a bullet injuriously…” [Dianetics 55. 105.] “Anything you have read about concerning the potential abilities of the Clear (and a lot more) come true when we follow this course.” [Dianetics 55. 172.] “Opening Procedure of 8-C and the Mimicry techniques, as given in the Professional Auditor’s Bulletins, resolve psychosis. … These Six Basic Processes also resolve psychosomatic illness and do other remarkable things.” [Dianetics 55. 179.] “A couple of auditors were sent into this area to teach everybody communication lag and Opening Procedure of 8-C. … They did so. And several lives have been reported saved to date.” [Dianetics 55. 194.] “Long since, we have had a One-shot Clear for 50 percent of the human race.” [Dianetics 55. 220.] “Self Analysis will not empty insane asylums or stop war. These are the tasks of the Dianetic auditor and the Group Dianetic technician.” [Self. 5.] “As for …sinusitis, allergies, some heart trouble, “bizarre” aches and pains, poor eyesight, arthritis, etc., etc., etc., down through 70 percent of Man’s ills—Self Ananysis should be able to help markedly.” [Self. 7.] “Then there’s the matter of how young or old you may look. Self Analysis can make quite a change there.” [Self. 7.] “Glasses are a symptom of the decline of consciousness. One needs his sight bolstered to make the world look brighter. The loss of the ability to move swiftly, as one ran when he was a child, is a decline of consciousness...” [Self. 28.] “Yawning is a release of former periods of unconsciousness.” [Self. 105.] “For I assure you… people have not often recovered from overts against Scientology, its organizations and related persons. … Literally, it kills them. And if you don’t believe it, I can show you the long death list.” [Ethics. 42.] “All learning is accomplished by random effort.” [Basics. 45.] “An Operating Thetan, then, is one who can handle things without having to use a body of physical means. “Poltergeist” is a learned term for only one of the phenomena of this state.” [Basics. 425.] Scientology “…was designed to “make the able more able,” not to “treat” the psychotic or neurotic or psychosomatically ill. But …when done by a competent and properly trained practitioner, forms the only thoroughly validated psychotherapy known to man today and, by its use, some 70 percent of Man’s ills may be remedied at a cost of time and money lower than any other similar effort and with higher effectiveness.” [Scientology. 12.] “The assist is very important as it can cause an injury to resolve or a person to recover in a fraction of the time which would otherwise be required. And in many cases it may save the life of the individual and has done so many times in the past.” [Scientology. 67.] “The rehabilitation of sight in the blind, hearing in the deaf, the ability to speak, anesthesia of the body or body areas or the genital organs, depends upon the rehabilitation of the preclear’s ability to handle energy. Creative Processing, with particular attention to handling blackness, is essential in this process.” [Scientology. 97.] “The goal of this process is the rehabilitation of as much of the thetan’s capability as possible, to permit him to utilize or be free of bodies as he chooses, and even, in lesser magnitude, to rid the preclear of psychosomatics, eradicate compulsions, obsessions and inhibitions, to raise his reaction time and intelligence level.” [Scientology. 163.] “After a very large amount of auditing, even as much as fifty hours (when the preclear has regained his ability to create, with considerable solidity, his own illusions), it will be found that the preclear can at will perceive the MEST universe and can do so with accuracy. He can further (without the aid of a body) move objects, heal at a distance and do a thousand other “interesting tricks” which could very well be viewed with considerable awe. For they have not been seen on earth in recorded history, but have lived in legend.” [Scientology. 170.] “The state of Cleared Theta Clear is, however, another thing. For it means a person who is able to create his own universe or, living in the MEST universe, is able to create illusions perceivable by others at will, to handle MEST universe objects without mechanical means and to have and feel no need of bodies or even the MEST universe to keep himself and his friends interested in existence.” [Scientology. 175.] “The thetan can repair the body quite easily…” [Scientology. 193.] “Get an invalid, by whatever means, pleasant or unpleasant, into communication with a withered limb and it will heal.” [Scientology. 285.] “IN PROCESSING PSYCHOTICS AND NEUROTICS OF WHATEVER DEGREE, USE ONLY R2- 16, OPENING PROCEDURE 8- C, EACH PART UNTIL THE PERSON IS SURE WHO IS DOING IT. USE ONLY R2- 16 UNTIL THE CASE IS FULLY SANE. USE NO OTHER PROCESS OF ANY KIND.” [Creation. 85.] “The ability to laugh is rehabilitated in general by Scientology, as it advances the ability of the preclear to know—which is to say, predict.” [Creation. 113.] “Healing at a glance is done by a thetan, not interiorized, making perfect duplicates of the illness of a body without perfectly duplicating the body itself.” [Creation. 136.] “The lame can walk simply if asked “How do your legs seem to you now?” enough times.” [Creation. 142.] “Tooth trouble can be traced to the inhibition of making noise.” [Creation. 148.] “A ‘difficult’ case is simply an incomprehensible case. “The processing on this is done by the command: “Spot something incomprehensible,” repeated many, many times. “This ‘ups’ I. Q. and raises perception.” [Creation. 234.] “A person with a milk allergy must be able to give away, in mock-up, enormous quantities of milk, wasting it, before he can accept any himself.” [Creation. 324.] “If the fact is that human illness, disability and aberration uniformly cease to be because of Scientology, the effect is not intended to be primary…” [Creation. 347.] “Operating Thetan should be able to fix and unfix ideas in energy, i.e., to be able to fix into a car an idea that “it can’t be stolen,” and it won’t be.” [Creation. 376.] “Scientology …is still the only completely and thoroughly tested and validated science of existence.” [Problems. 14.] “Scientology can, and does, increase human intelligence. By the most exact tests known, it has been proven that Scientology can greatly increase intelligence… It can reduce reaction time and it can pull the years off one’s appearance.” [Problems. 14.] “Did you know that a mad person could be made well simply by getting him convinced that he has some purpose in life? Well, that can happen. It doesn’t matter how thin or artificial that purpose may be, mad people can be made sane with it.” [Problems. 36.] “Insanity is contagious.” [Problems. 61.] “Energy is subdivisible into a large motion—such as a flow, a dispersal, or a ridge—and a small motion which is itself commonly called a “particle” in nuclear physics.” [Discovery. 98.] “It is simply that we have advanced a technology toward a logical conclusion and have obtained logical results. “These results are revealed, at this time, only because they can be demonstrated easily, with oscilloscopes, with groundings, with the manufacture of energy…” [Discovery. 103.] “When a thetan discharges energy, another person may feel hot.” [Discovery. 110.] “The thetan can clean up and heal his own body and those of others at will.” [Discovery. 111.] “The test of this technique is that in from two to twenty-five hours of processing, an individual can expect to be far above the level of MEST clear.” [Discovery. 118.] Bibliography
