 Examples of alterations cited below are by no means a list of ALL alterations that can be found in 2007 ''Fundamentals of Thought.'' Alterations not included in the list below include BREAKING DOWN or COMBINING PARAGRAPHS and CHANGING PUNCTUATION which result in a loss of conceptual concentration and disrupt the thought flow of the original author who is L. Ron Hubbard, not any other individual or a corporate entity. Such alterations diffuse the thought and lead to a significant reduction in conceptual understanding, not its improvement.

 Another example of this is Chapter Twelve of 2007 book titled '''“Beingness, Doingness and Havingness.”''' In 1973 edition this was originally included in Chapter Three “The Conditions of Existence” (starting on page 27) as a more thorough conceptual understanding of the conditions of existence (be, do, and have) and how this is applied in Scientology processing. Chapter Three in the original 1973 was TEN pages. It is barely two in 2007 version leaving the reader “incomplete” in terms of truly understanding “the conditions of existence” until he reaches Chapter Twelve by which point the flow of conceptual understanding has already been interrupted.

 You see that already in 1988 it sounded quite convoluted. Even though a detailed comparison was not performed for 1988 edition, on the surface it looks much more in line with 1973 edition in other areas of the book. The word SCIENCE was still preserved in many places in 1988 edition where it was senselessly removed in 2007 edition. <br><br><br>

-Nearly all direct references to Scientology being a SCIENCE have been removed and in some instances replaced with a word RELIGION. Except for a standard declaimer at the beginning of the book defining Scientology as “an applied religious philosophy,” there is no single mention of Scientology defined as a “religion” in the original text of “The Fundamentals of Thought,” 1973 edition. On the other hand, Ron Hubbard used the word “religion” many times throughout the book to refer to traditional religions as it is commonly understood. Examples:

-For example, in the original version a more concentrated explanation of '''self-determinism''' and '''pan-determinism''' appeared toward the end (pages 50–51) of Chapter Six “The Reason Why” which introduced the concept of life as a game along with its component parts: freedom, barriers, and purposes. The concepts of self- and pan-determinism are lightly introduced mid-way in this chapter and then explained in more concentrated form toward the end of the chapter. In 2007 book, these two sections have been taken out of Chapter Six and moved toward the end of the BOOK in its own, separate chapter – Chapter Fifteen – where it does not even belong. This “Chapter Fifteen” has been placed within a more general section titled “Part Two Scientology Processing.” There are no processes cited in “Chapter Fifteen”. It is merely a more concentrated definition of self-determinism and pan-determinism, and it belonged where these concepts were first introduced – in Chapter Three “The Reason Why."

 Read the original version with a comma (pause) and a single sentence at the end. Read the “corrected” 2007 version and notice the difference of how a “mere” change in punctuation results in a significant disruption in the flow of author's thought.
