Please, keep in mind3. a network of communications and pictures, energies and masses, which are brought into being by the activities of the thetan versus the physical universe or other thetans. The mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE the statements made by David Miscavige with respect to “correcting” the original text when he released his 2007 version of Science of Survival at the Basics release event in 2007:

“The chart of human evaluation is not only the primary tool of a casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) supervisor, but the theta-MEST1. a coined word, meaning matter, energy, space and time, the physical universe. All physical phenomena may be considered as energy operating in space and time. The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta. (Abil 114-A)...More theory and the tone scale5. a scale which plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and consciousness through half-vitality and half-consciousness down to death. (SA, p . 3 7 )...More is the basis of our entire Grade Chart! In other words, to say the book is important would be a gross understatement.”
...
“When Science of Survival was published it was presented with a subtitle of 'Simpler and Faster Techniques.' If that's the casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63), then how come so many find it so complex?”
...
“This too was a dictated book. And since the transcriptionist and the editor were the first to touch this book, the very book defining the various tone levels, it then follows that they were also the first one one (1.1) since the tone level was discovered. And here is what I mean – they were so indecisive they really didn’t know where to begin or end the sentence, specifically, here is where they weren’t sure if it should be a comma or a period and so they split the difference and used a semicolon [presenting animated example of a page on the screen getting populated with semicolons, not a photocopy from an actual book] which a good percentage of readers never understood in the first place. And given one semicolon begets another, it wasn't long before it was the march of the semicolons frustrating readers and lengthening lines to word clearers from one end of Scientology to another.

Not that I want to overstate the matter or bad mouth somebody who was trying, but when you consider that even when they didn't use their multitudes of semicolons, they still started sentence in the wrong place, and when you further consider that when the book was returned to its original and intended form, it reads with a simplicity of a Self-Analysis – it really does bare comment. So let me put it this way: yes, this book too is now perfect; and the number of incorrect instances of punctuations that had to be corrected – hang on to your seat – three thousand eight hundred and twenty five (3825). So yes, you were right, something just didn't make sense.

Whereupon what more is there to say? Students were previously spending weeks upon weeks digging their way through this book, perhaps “suffering” is a better word; and yet many students currently on a pilot program are completing this 550 page book in as little as 22 hours. Even if you double or triple that time you are still looking at one tenth (1/10th) previous times.

So for the first time you have LRHL. Ron Hubbard's text as he originally intended providing the very basics of the Tone Scale, The Basic Laws of Theta1. theta is thought, life force, elan vital, the spirit, the soul, or any other of the numerous definitions it has had for some thousands of years. (SOS, p. 4)...More – ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C. To Scientologists it has come to mean good feeling, love or friendliness, such as “He was in ARC with his friend.” One does not, however, fall out of ARC, he has an ARC break. (LRH Def. Notes)...more, including their interaction on the tone scale5. a scale which plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and consciousness through half-vitality and half-consciousness down to death. (SA, p . 3 7 )...More, and so it goes chapter by chapter. For any who have ever had difficulty with the book, it's now so clear – you will actually wonder where the confusion ever was. Because the book is that simple – JUST as LRHL. Ron Hubbard wrote it.”

4th printing (same year as first publication in 1951) of the original text was also available for this review and is sometimes referred to in comments on alterations. It has not been compared on 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) by 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) basis, but on cursory inspection of the text in the 4th printing it looks exactly the same as the text in the 15th printing which would make sense.

In addition, an earlier - 2001 - version of an already altered edition of "Science of Survival" was also acquired for the purpose of determining the total time frame that the parishioners and staff at the Church of Scientology were exposed to the massive alterations that can be found in 2007 text. Not all alterations cited below have been verified against the 2001 edition, but more serious alterations were looked up and in most cases were found to be already present in 2001 edition. Where it has been verified, it was noted in the comments that such alteration is or is not present in 2001 edition. Where it is not noted, it is safe to just assume that such an alteration can already be found in 2001 edition of the altered text. This particularly applies to contextual alterations, not to alterations in punctuation.

What this means is that those Scientologists that studied "Science of Survival" beginning with 2001 edition had their minds populated with "crushing MU's," and as many Scientologists familiar with study technologyThe methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) ''Abbr.'' tech know that this can lead to a variety of undesirable phenomena including: lack of comprehension, inability to apply, confusion and strange ideas, committing overts (harmful acts), and blowing from the subject altogether. And this is just ONE book out of a pile of other materials that could have been and probably were altered in various ways.


To aid the ease of analysis, alterations in "Science of Survival" can be separated in four major categories:
Alterations in CAPITALIZATION
Alterations in SPELLING
Alterations in PUNCTUATION / SENTENCE STRUCTURE
Alterations in WORDING


Some key terms relating to grammar should be cleared before reading this report: sentence, subject, verb; coordinating conjunction; participle adjective; the use of a comma, a period, a semicolon, parenthesis and a dash in punctuation.


Note! Boldformatting in citations was added to highlight key areas of alteration.Key areas of punctuation will be underlined.Square brackets - [ ] - were used to insert comment where needed. With a few exceptions comments will also appear in italics, but italics formatting inside the quotations is original formatting of how it appeared in the book from where it was quoted.

Many dianetic terms have been capitalized which were not capitalized in the original text:

Dianetic, Dianetically, Dianetic Release3. a person who has been able to back out of his bank. The bank is still there but the person isn't sunk into it with all its somatics and depressions. (HCOB 2 Apr 65) 6. a series of gradual key-outs. At any given one of those key-outs the individual detaches from the remainder of his reactive bank. (SH Spec 65, 6507C27)...More, Release3. a person who has been able to back out of his bank. The bank is still there but the person isn't sunk into it with all its somatics and depressions.

(SH Spec 65, 6507C27)...More, Clear3. a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind .

One does this many times and the whole chain of locks become ineffective in influencing one. (HFP, pp. 99-100), Lock Scan, Lock Scanned, Lock Reduction, Chain Scanning, Repeater Technique, Affinity, Reality, and Communication, First through Seventh Dynamic, Auditor’s Code, Repeater Technique, Theta-MEST1. a coined word, meaning matter, energy, space and time, the physical universe. All physical phenomena may be considered as energy operating in space and time. The movement of matter or energy in time is the measure of space. All things are mest except theta. (Abil 114-A)...More Theory, Standard Procedure, Positive Processing.


The word “clear” was capitalized into absurdity of having it capitalized where it did not even mean the state of clear as in “Clear3. a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind . ( SH Spec 80, 6609C08) ...more-thinking”:

2007: B2-267) Well, Clear3. a Clear is not an all-knowing being. A Clear is somebody who has lost the mass, energy, space and time connected with the thing called mind . ( SH Spec 80, 6609C08) ...more-thinking, strong individuals are highly necessary in this society at this time.


Word “clear” was also improperly capitalized where it served as a participle adjective “cleared”:

2007: B2-382) The auditor1. one who listens and computes; a Scn practitioner. 2. one who has been trained in the technology of Scn. An auditor applies standard technology to preclears. 3. a person who through church training becomes skilled in the successful application of Dn and Scn to his family, friends and the public to achieve the ability gained as stated on the Gradation Chart for his class of training...more, thus, must be compatible with the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life. (The Phoenix Lectures, p. 20) 2. a spiritual being who is now on the road to becoming Clear, hence preclear. (HCOB 5 Apr 69) 3. one who is discovering things about himself and who is becoming clearer. (HCO PL 21 Aug 63) ''Abbr.'' PC and must have been Cleared with the preclear1. a person who, through Scientology processing, is finding out more about himself and life.

Some other terms not directly related to 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. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more were capitalized as well:
Absolute Truth, Forced of Good, Forces of Evil, Devil, Communism, Man, Mankind, Mama and Papa.

It is interesting to note that while the word “devil” was capitalized in instances where it was not capitalized in the original text, the word “Godless” was de-capitalized where it was capitalized in the original text.

Many wo Many words which were originally spelled using proper British spelling were changed into American spelling format. The following is a list of words that were noted to have been changed in spelling. There could be more examples in text:

Favour > favor; behaviour > behavior; endeavour > endeavor; amongst > among; skilfully > skillfully; honour > honor; analyser > analyzer; sanatorium > sanitarium; theatre > threater; anaesthetic > anesthetic; labelled > labeled; odour > odor; mould > mold; centre > center; programme > program; towards > toward; favourite > favorite; pretence > pretense; judgement > judgment; odour > odor; paralyse > paralyze; criticising > criticizing.


Many numbers that were written in words were changed to number format such as “seventy” to “70.”


There were also changes in the use of a hyphen in either adding or removing it such as in the following examples:

A-R-C > ARC1. a word from the initial letters of Affinity, Reality, Communication which together equate to Understanding. It is pronounced by stating its letters, A-R- C.
