SCIENTOLOGICAL TECHIi-IQUES:A MODEFN PARADTGM FOR EXPIORATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND PSYCHIC INIEGRATION

lPaper by Ingo Swann, C]rurch

of

Scientofory;la-G"e-1i;-_f--.' (1973 - Prague)

ltext] In L953, a novel method. of psychical rehabilitation through the use
of recall and. eiasute of tramatic material- was introduced by the publication of "Dianetics: Mod.ern Science of tr4ental Healttrr" by l. Ron zultara.
It enjoyed. volurdnous sales and" accJ.ai-m. Itubbard zubsequent\y d.eveloped
other mental inspection processes which, because these d.iffered. in conterct
fbon Dianetic recall, he temed. as scientolory, or rrthe science of knowing
how to know." Since the introduction of scientolory, both the subject and
the rnovenent it has inspired anong many peopl-e have been bottr topics of derision fyon detractors on the one hand, and. the source of signifieant emergent ability iwlFrovement on the other hand among most who have availed theroselves of seientological techniques.
It is not the plryose of this present paper to rerriew the phenonenolory
dianetics and. scientology have engendered. in the sociological sense. Neither fill an endeavor be nad.e to view the zubject llon the viewpoint of
critical appraisal. An assessment of scientoJ-ogical teehnigues indicates
wide possibilities for pedagogical- studJ'. A review of the l-iterature of
the scientological premises and. methods ind.j-cate involvement w:ith the problematic man and his view of himself as a conscious psyehic entlty atteqtting to correlate hinself with ptrysica-1 constnrcts of matter, energf,
spaee and tj.ne.

It is tttus

seen that the fl:.nd.anentals of scientological inquiry stand upon
certain concepts of awareness and consciousness, as weLL as psyclr:ic apprj.sement of nan within the physical universe. fn this context the premises and techniques of scientology, as established by its found.er, L. Ron

in many aspects to have both valuable correlates in several fields of scientifie inguiry, and. al-so contain possibte practical application within the context of ernergent alternative flrtrre histories.

advancing discovery. It is now welL estabLished that there are fieLds

psi fields are, in a zubtle way, nonmaterial, yet they are described. by the
nost j-uportant and the most basic e-.quations of present-tlay quant;m mechan-

tcs.

As ear3ry as pll, Edd.ington (Z) iraa indicated. tirat the nind has rby its sel-ective power fitted. the processes of nature into a -f"ane of law of a pattern largely of its own chooslng; and in the diseovely of ttr-is system of
larr the mind may be regard.ed. as regaining flom nature that r*rich the nind.
has put into nat*e.'r WhiLe this view night well- be eonsiclered specuJ-ative, in 1937 Jeans (f ) naa ind.ieated. the w'id.e measure of agreenent a.nong
the sciences, almost approaching una!.iynibr, that the accu:o,rlation of kno'wl.e$ge of the physieal sciences was head.ing toward a nonrnechanical- real-ity,
anti that the '\rniverse begins to look more like a great thorght tha"n like
a great nachine.t'
Itubbard (4), in establishing in 1952 basic concepts for scientological
thought, indicated that if life (Life) :-s a ni.rf,or antl a creator of motion
which can be nrirrored., it follows then that mirror-w'ise, the whoLe of the
Laws of motion can be found in thought and behav:ior, ancl even thinking partakes of the physical universe laws regard.ing natter, enersr, space and
tirne. In essenee, lfubbard was leil to postuJ-ate in add.ition to the usual
physical coneepts an ad.d.itional- aspect ryhich he l-abeIed. "theta"--or
thought--anci which follows d.eflnite laws, to account for life phenomena.
It was his opinion that such an extension was necessary ln ord.er to express In its tota3-ity the anjmate as weII as the inaninate world of matter
in motion. (5)

r,Iriting in L)J2, Parili (5) feft that the psychcplgrsical palra].lelim envi:
sioned. in the l-ast century couId. not account for the genera3- problen posed
by the relationships of uind/body, by ttre irurer and. outer, and. that nodern
science, by introducing the coneept of com;13-ementarity into physics itself
perhaps had. ind.icated. a more satisfactory solution if nind and bodgr could
also be interpreted. as cor4fanentarlr aspects of the sa.ne reality.
Clricago lectures :-'n3],2), Heisenberg (7), in reviewing the flrnclaruenprinci-ples
of quantum theory had ind.ieated. that although the theory of
tal
relativity ruakes the greatest of demands on the abiliff for abstract
thought, nevertheless it flrl-fiIIed. requirements of traditional scj-ence.
It pe:mitted. division of the world into srrbject a.nd. objeet (obse:rrer and.
observed.), &d henee a elear delineation of the laws of causality. However, in quanturn theory, where in classica3- p\rsical theory it was assumed
that observer-obsenred. interaction was negligible, this assu-uption was not
pe:rnissibJ-e in atornic plSrsi-cs, sinee the interaction between obse:srerobserved. caused large or uncontrollable eha.rrges in the systen being r'

1-evel, the objective world. in space ancl tirne no longer existed.. tr\fther,
the mathematical synbols of theoretical pl:ysics referted mere\r to possibilities and. probabillties, not to facts.
By I)Jz, the tj:ne of ltubbard.'s major theoretlcal productlon, it had becme
witt- eslabllshed. in science in general, at least in theory, that in ternrs

calrsal-ity fr"A to be abandoned.
terial substancb was no longer upheld, since atculic particl-es d.id. not possess the unambiguors nabrre of the solid. bodies of the rnacroscopic world..

With the prysical sciences grappling w'ith this vacuum, Itubbard. felt it necessa4r tJinterject a metaphaysical prenise, wluich became the basis of scientological thought. He introduced the concept that the considerations
wlich ihe conscious or psychic entity holds take rank over the mechanics of
space, energy and time. Since tlds vas by obsenration obvious\y not the
''r*r.f-caser-he zugg"stea (fO) that the individual $as in an inverted state,
and ttrat ttre primaql goal of scl-entology would be to bring an j:rdividual
into such thorough commnication with the physical- universe that he could
regain the power and. the abillty of his or,in postulates. IIe indicated that
thJ nechanics of the ptrysical- (and eventua!-\r the mental) universe are the
products of agreed-upon consid.erations which life m.:tually holds. Aceorrting
1o this line of ttrought the reason we have space, energy, tiroe, objects,
etc., is that life has agreed. upon certain things, and ttuis agreenent has
resuit6a in a solid.ifi-cation. Orr agreed-upon naterial is then quite observable.

tn L953, Eccles (t1-) wrote that in practical- life atl sane men assumeofthey
thi ability to mod.if! and. eontrol their actions by the exercise
wiIL. Ttrere was, he stated., no doubt that a great part of activity fYon
the cerebral cortex is stereoty?ed. and. autoraatic. Bat he contended" that
it would be possible to assme voluntarlr' control of such actions, Ttre
neurophysiological lq4lothesis would. be that the "w-i11" nodifies the spaf,io1.rU'oral activity of the neuronal network by exerting spatio-tem5roral
"field.s of influence. " Since sueh rdnd'i-nfluences harre not yet been d.efrave-

These "uind.-influences" have not been neglected in the seientological systan, however. Itrrbbard. (tZ) inaicates that the aspects of existence when
viewed. from the leve1 of rnan is a reverse of the greater tnrth above, for
rrian seens tO wOrk on the Secondar5r opinion that mechanics are real, and.
that his own personal eonsid.erations are Jess i-uportant than space, enerry
a3d tjme. Tttis, he suggests, is an inversion. He fl:rther indicates that
the fleed"om of an individual- d.epends upon that individual's fbeedom to aIter his consid.erations of 'space, enerry, tj-ne and forts of l-ife and his
roles 1n it. If he eannot change his nind about these, he is then fjxed'

Koestler (1S) in I)+5, indicated that volition, in its psyehological aspeet,
nay be the interplay of i4nrlses and inhibitions. lf this interplay takes
place on the conscious or, as llrbbard srggests, on the higher sensory f\rnctlonat 1evel, it is efperienced as a process of choice, and. the zubjectlrre
experience of fbeeclccr becmes stronger the el-oser the process is to the focus of attention. It is frrrther indicated. that the experience of fbeedm
resulting fYom processes in tLre focus of attention is probably synonyllnlls
with consciousness itsel-f .

In establishing conceptual scientolory, tirbbard proscribed. two d.istinet di1nisions in scientolory. The first is phiJ.osophic; the second is concerned'
with technical aspects, these being the orclered. processes ancl psychopi:ysioIogical feedback techniques derived fYm research to restore to the ind.ividual the eonscious process of ehoice, both in terns of hj-mself and. in
tems of his faniLiarity, thus, cause, with the plrysical universe. Any
ottrer condition of existenee, Iirbbard suggests, contrilrutes to a less than
seLf-deten::ined existence in a ptrysical- universe which is the inevitable
average of illusion.
The end point of the clianetic and scientol-ory rehabilitative processes is
considered. to be the ability to be conscious and ceusal in any desired. ciirection of aetivity, and ttrus has i:rplications for the developnent of alternative futr:re histories in which psychoenergetic factors rnay pl-ay a:r increasing role.

This present papef uitl contain a description of relevant seientol-ogical
plr-iloioplic factors, as weff as certain technotogical processes, and wlJJinclud.e d.escriptive data on certain scientological- concepts which d.o not
as yet have correlations in other fiel-d.s of inguiry. fhe concluding discussion wiLL ind.icate certa:in potential directions for scientologieal- applications.
