Difference between revisions of "Books – Scientology – excluding LRH books"

Revision as of 11:46, August 28, 2015

This page aims to give a summary of books concerning Scientology which were not written by the founder (so-called) of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard. Contributions are invited by all who have data on non-LRHL. Ron Hubbard Scientology books, following Wiki principles, and I am starting it with the books I have. It is arranged in order of publication, and using most browsers, you can search for individual titles or authors using Contol-F. It is split, somewhat arbitrarily, into two parts, before and after 1980, just after 1980 being the time when there was a large exodus from the "Church" of Scientology, and, with the advent of the world wide web and other technologies, communication1. the consideration and action of impelling an impulse or particle from source point across a distance to receipt point with the intention of bringing into being at the receipt point a duplication and understanding of that which emanated from the source point. (HCOB 5 Apr 73)...more was maintained world wide with those who practiced forms of Scientology outside the jurisdiction of the official/original Scientology body. 1980 is very roughly around the time when Ron Hubbard lost control of Scientology (near his death).

If you access the item marked Discussion to the right of Ron's picture at the top of the page you will be able to see, and possibly contribute to, ideas behind setting up and improving this (in the end) pretty long page. For LRHL. Ron Hubbard books you can look at L Ron Hubbard Book Alterations - Science of Survival - Alterations - Fundamentals of Thought - Alterations - A History of Man - Alterations and www.truelrh.com.

Before 1980 (before the first great exodus)

1934

Scientology: Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge by Dr. A. Nordenholz

The above is a translation of the German title: Scientologi: Wissenschenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens. Dr. Nordenholz was a German, living in Argentina. There was a second edition of the book, which was reportedly following more closely Hitler's lineThe military type of organization form whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of command. Orders pass from top management down the line of command and compliances and data pass on up without by-passing the chain of command. (Modern Management Defined (c) L. Ron Hubbard, 1976) of thinking.

In the 60's a translation of the book was made by an American Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Briefing Course student, Woodie McPheeters, who was declared a Suppressive Person2. a person who rewards only down statistics and never rewards an up statistic. He goofs up or vilifies any effort to help anybody and particularly knifes with violence anything calculated to make human beings more powerful or intelligent. A suppressive automatically and immediately will curve any betterment activity into something evil or bad...More. The book became more widely known, and re-translated and printed in both German and an English translation in 1995, by Freie Zone e.V – Eigenverlag, and copies are still available. There are articles about it in the magazine IVy (International Viewpoints) notably a summary of most of it by C.B Willis. You will find them in issues 29, 30, 31, 32 and 35 (page 44) – see ivymag.org/pdfs . With regard to Woodie McPheeters part in it, see page 8 on of IVy_106.pdf

In about 1957, when he was Shipping Officer at London (Fitzroy Street) Antony Phillips was offered and bought this book. It was a green hard cover book (no dust jacket). He was offered it as it was being taken off the list of books for sale. It had descriptions of some cases, as far as he can remember, some concerned homosexuality. He can't find it now.

1952

An Outline of Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma. The mental image pictures are believed on the basis of personal revelation to be comprising mental activity created and formed by the spirit, and not by the body or brain. (BPL 24 Sept 73 V) 2. Dn addresses the body. Thus Dn is used to knock out and erase illnesses, unwanted sensations, misemotion, somatics, pain, etc. Dn came before Scn.

Creative Education by Dame Muriel Payne

Published by William Maclellan, Glasgow - data taken from bibliography of The Road to Total Freedom by Roy Wallis. We don't have the book or data on it.

We, London Scientologists in 1958, were given to understand that Muriel Payne was a Dame (the female British equivalent to a Knight of the British Empire/Commonwealth) and worked with education in India, using Scientology principles (of that time - before "Study Tech" of the 60s). Quite a fuss was made of this form of "official recognition" of Scientology.
