<br><br><i>Please, keep in mind 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:</i>
+
<br><br> “The chart of human evaluation is not only the primary tool of a case supervisor, but the theta-MEST theory and the tone scale is the basis of our entire Grade Chart&#33; In other words, to say the book is important would be a gross understatement.” <br>
+
... <br>
+
“When Science of Survival was published it was presented with a subtitle of 'Simpler and Faster Techniques.' If that's the case, then <b>h</b><b>ow come so many find it so complex?</b>” <br>
+
... <br>
+
“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 [<i>presenting animated example of a page on the screen getting populated with semicolons, not a photocopy from an actual book</i>] which <b>a good percentage of readers never understood in the first place</b>. And given one semicolon begets another, it wasn't long before it was <b>the</b><b> march of </b><b>the</b><b> semicolons frustrating readers</b> and lengthening lines to word clearers from one end of Scientology to another. <br><br>
+
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, <b>they still started sentence in the wrong place</b>, 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 <b>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)</b>. So yes, you were right, something just didn't make sense.<br>
+
[<i>audience standing up and clapping</i>] <br><br>
+
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 <b>one tenth (1/10th) previous times</b>.<br><br><b>So for the first time you have LRH's text as he originally intended</b> providing the very basics of the Tone Scale, The Basic Laws of Theta – ARC, including their interaction on the tone scale, and so it goes chapter by chapter. For any who have ever had difficulty with the book, it's now so clear – <b>you will actually wonder where the confusion ever was</b>. Because the book is that simple – <b>JUST as LRH wrote it</b>.”<br><br>

<br><br><br><br><div align="center"><b>START OF ALTERATIONS REPORT</b></div><br>
+
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 line by line 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.<br><br>
+
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&nbsp;edition of the altered text. This particularly applies to contextual alterations, not to alterations in punctuation.<br><br>
+
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 technology 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.<br><br><br>
+
To aid the ease of analysis, alterations in "Science of Survival" can be separated in four major categories: <br>
+
Alterations in CAPITALIZATION <br>
+
Alterations in SPELLING <br>
+
Alterations in PUNCTUATION / SENTENCE STRUCTURE <br>
+
Alterations in WORDING <br><br><br>
+
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. <br><br><br><i>Note&#33; <b>Bold</b></i><i>formatting in citations was added to highlight key areas of alteration.</i><i>Key areas of punctuation will be <u>underlined</u>.</i><i>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.</i><br><br><br><br>
+
 
+
<div align="center"><u><b>CAPITALIZATON</b></u></div><br>
+
Many dianetic terms have been capitalized which were not capitalized in the original text:<br><br>
+
Dianetic, Dianetically, Dianetic Release, Release, Clear, Tone Scale, Tone, Straight Memory, Lock Scanning, Lock Scan, Lock Scanned, Lock Reduction, Chain Scanning, Repeater Technique, Affinity, Reality, and Communication, First through Seventh Dynamic, Auditor’s Code, Repeater Technique, Theta-MEST Theory, Standard Procedure, Positive Processing. <br><br><br>
+
The word “clear” was capitalized into absurdity of having it capitalized where it did not even mean the state of clear as in “Clear-thinking”:<br><br>
+
2007: B2-267) Well, <b>Clear-thinking</b>, strong individuals are highly necessary in this society at this time.<br><br><br>
+
Word “clear” was also improperly capitalized where it served as a participle adjective “cleared”:<br><br>
+
2007: B2-382) The auditor, thus, must be compatible with the preclear and must have been <b>Cleared</b> with the preclear (as a group of two) if he expects to run any secondary engrams on this preclear. <br><br><br>
+
Some other terms not directly related to Dianetics were capitalized as well: <br>
+
Absolute Truth, Forced of Good, Forces of Evil, Devil, Communism, Man, Mankind, Mama and Papa. <br><br>
+
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. <br><br><br><br>
+
 
+
<div align="center"><u><b>SPELLING</b></u></div><br>
+
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: <br><br>
+
Favour &gt; favor; behaviour &gt; behavior; endeavour &gt; endeavor; amongst &gt; among; skilfully &gt; skillfully; honour &gt; honor; analyser &gt; analyzer; sanatorium &gt; sanitarium; theatre &gt; threater; anaesthetic &gt; anesthetic; labelled &gt; labeled; odour &gt; odor; mould &gt; mold; centre &gt; center; programme &gt; program; towards &gt; toward; favourite &gt; favorite; pretence &gt; pretense; judgement &gt; judgment; odour &gt; odor; paralyse &gt; paralyze; criticising &gt; criticizing. <br><br><br>
+
Many numbers that were written in words were changed to number format such as “seventy” to “70.” <br><br><br>
+
There were also changes in the use of a hyphen in either adding or removing it such as in the following examples: <br><br>
+
A-R-C &gt; ARC; pre-clear &gt; preclear; psycho-surgery &gt; psychosurgery; psycho-therapist &gt; psychotherapist; coaudit &gt; co-audit; nonsurvival &gt; non-survival; un-enturbulate &gt; unentrubulate <br><br><br><br>
+
 
+
<div align="center"><u><b>PUNCTUATION / SENTENCE STRUCTURE</b></u></div><br>
+
At the center stage of changes in punctuation is breaking down joined sentences often resulting in a very much unwanted dispersal of conceptual concentration and an unpleasant read. <br><br>
+
Many sentences that were joined with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, etc) and a comma were broken down with a period. Examples:<br><br>

| valign="top" | <i>What is Scientology?</i><br><br><b>Scientology is that branch of psychology</b> which treats of (embraces) human ability.

Psychology, the study of the spirit (or mind) then came into the peculiar position of being “a study of the spirit which denied the spirit”. For the subsequent decades, Wundtian “psychology” was taught broadly throughout the world. It taught that man was an animal. It taught that man could not be bettered. It taught that intelligence never changed. This subject, Wundtian psychology, became standard, mainly because of the indifference or lack of knowledge of people in charge of universities.<br><br>

Scientology is actually a new but very basic psychology in the most exact meaning of the word. It can and does change behavior and intelligence, and it can and does assist people to study life. Unlike Wundtian pseudo-psychology, it has no political aspiration. Scientology is not teaching dialectical materialism under the heading of “psychology”.<br><br>

The term Scientology is taken from the Latin word <i>scio</i> (knowing, in the fullest meaning of the word) and the Greek word      <i>logos</i> (study of). Scientology is further defined as “the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life.”<br><br>
 +
Dianetics is a forerunner and substudy of Scientology. Dianetics comes from the Greek words <i>dia      </i>(through) and <i>nous</i> (mind or soul). Dianetics is “what the soul is doing to the body.”<br><br><b>Neither Dianetics nor Scientology should be confused with “modern” psychology.</b> More acceptable and normal psychology, such as that begun by Sain Thomas Aquinas and extended by many later authors, was (in 1879) interrupted severely by one Professor Wundt, a Marxist at Leipzig University in Germany. This man conceived that Man was an animal without soul and based all of his work on the principle that there was no <i>psyche</i> (a Greek word meaning “spirit”).

Unlike Wundtian pseudo-psychology, it has no political aspiration.

It is noted here that the section defining the subject of Scientology was already severely altered in the first edition of “Fundamentals of Thought” under the new copyright “L. Ron Hubbard Library” in 1988. The text there went as follows:<br><br><br>
|  align="center" scope="col" width="50%"| <b>1975: B1-15</b>

“What is Scientology?<br><br><b>Scientology is an applied religious philosophy.</b><br><br>
 +
The term <i>Scientology</i> is taken from the Latin word <i>scio</i> (knowing in the fullest meaning of the word) and the Greek word <i>logos</i> (study of). In itself the word means literally “knowing how to know.”<br><br><b>Scientology is further defined as the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life.</b> [<i>Nothing of this sort can be found anywhere in 1973 edition.</i>] <br><br><b>Any comparison between Scientology and the subject known as psychology is nonsense.</b> Early psychology such as that begun by St. Thomas Aquinas and extended by many later authors was, in 1879, interrupted severely by one Professor Wundt...” [<i>the text continues...</i>] <br><br>
 +
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>

| The word <i>somatic </i>means, actually, <i>bodily      </i>or <i>physical. </i>Because the word <i>pain      </i>is restimulative, and because the word pain has in the past led to a confusion between physical pain and mental pain, the word somatic is used in Dianetics to denote physical pain or discomfort of any kind. It can mean actual pain, such as that caused by a cut or a blow; or it can mean discomfort, as from heat or cold; it can mean <u>itching—in short</u>, anything physically uncomfortable.<br>

[<i>Here “And will assert more reality, but will actually have less” is not a correct sentence because it does not contain a subject. Comma between “less” and “and” were used in the original text as a matter of style and not to separate two sentences joined with a coordinating conjunction as usually the case.

Let’s look at Miscavige’s claim with respect to the use a semicolon a little closer: <br><br>
+
 
“…they [<i>transcriptionist and the editor</i>] 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…” <br><br>
+
== CHAPTER EIGHT ==
First of all, there was no “they.” The author of the book is L. Ron Hubbard. Second, this utterly absurd statement should make one wonder – does David Miscavige himself understand the use of a semicolon in sentences or even the grammatical construct of sentences in general? It is quite obvious from the ample examples provided in this report that this man, who never published a single book in his life, must himself lack some very basic education to say the least. <br><br>

So what are the rules for using a semicolon? This can be easily answered by anyone with Internet access and some ability to read. Some good resources for understanding the use of a semicolon: <br>

General rule: “The main task of the semicolon is to mark a break that is stronger than a comma but not as final as a full stop. It’s used between two main clauses that balance each other and are too closely linked to be made into separate sentences.” [http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/semicolon]:<br><br>

+
Parenthesis are commonly used in sentences to include optional text that clarifies something in the sentence but is not considered essential, meaning – if you read the sentence without the text in parenthesis, it is still a complete communication. There are quite a number of cases throughout 2007 "Science of Survival" where phrases within sentences were surrounded with parenthesis erroneously communicating to readers that the text now enclosed in parenthesis is an optional addition and non-essential instead of being an inseparable part of the sentence. Here are a few examples:<br><br>

THE VITAL STATISTICS OF SCIENTOLOGY Scientology Questions and Answers

What is Scientology?

Scientology is that branch of psychology which treats of (embraces) human ability. It is an extension of DIANETICS which is in itself an extension of old-time faculty-psychology of 400 years ago. More acceptable and normal psychology such as that begun by St. Thomas Aquinas and extended by many later authors was, in 1879, interrupted severely by one Professor Wundt, a Marxist at Leipzig University in Germany. This man conceived that man was an animal without soul and based all of his work on the principle that there was no “psyche” (a Greek word meaning “spirit”).

Psychology, the study of the spirit (or 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) then came into the peculiar position of being “a study of the spirit which denied the spirit”. For the subsequent decades, Wundtian “psychology” was taught broadly throughout the world. It taught that man was an animal. It taught that man could not be bettered. It taught that intelligence never changed. This subject, Wundtian psychology, became standard, mainly because of the indifference or lack of knowledge of people in charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more of universities.

Scientology is actually a new but very basic psychology in the most exact meaning of the word. It can and does change behavior and intelligence, and it can and does assist people to study life. Unlike Wundtian pseudo-psychology, it has no political aspiration. Scientology is not teaching dialectical materialism under the heading of “psychology”.

The term SCIENTOLOGY is taken from the Latin word SCIO (knowing in the fullest meaning of the word) and the Greek word LOGOS (study).

Scientology, used by the trained and untrained person, improves the health, intelligence, ability, behavior, skill and appearance of people.

It is a precise and exact science, designed for an age of exact sciences.

It is employed by an AUDITOR (a Scientology practitioner) upon individuals or small or large groups of people in their presence. ...

What is Scientology?

SCIENTOLOGY EMBRACES and treats of human ability.

The term Scientology is taken from the Latin word scio (knowing, in the fullest meaning of the word) and the Greek word logos (study of). Scientology is further defined as “the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life.”

Dianetics1. DIA (Greek) through, NOUS (Greek) mind, deals with a system of mental image pictures in relation to psychic (spiritual) trauma.

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 is a forerunner and substudy of Scientology. Dianetics1.

More acceptable and normal psychology, such as that begun by Sain Thomas Aquinas and extended by many later authors, was (in 1879) interrupted severely by one Professor Wundt, a Marxist at Leipzig University in Germany. This man conceived that Man was an animal without soul and based all of his work on the principle that there was no psyche (a Greek word meaning “spirit”). Psychology, “the study of the spirit,” then came into the peculiar position of being “a study of the spirit which denied the spirit”. For the subsequent decades, Wundtian “psychology” was taught broadly throughout the world. It taught that Man was an animal. It taught that Man could not be bettered. It taught that intelligence never changed. This subject, Wundtian psychology, became standard mainly because of the indifference or lack of knowledge of people in charge1. harmful energy or force accumulated and stored within the reactive mind, resulting from the conflicts and unpleasant experiences that a person has had. Auditing discharges this charge so that it is no longer there to affect the individual. (Scn AD)..more of universities.

Scientology is actually a new but very basic psychology, in the most exact meaning of the word - “a study of the spirit.” It can and does change behavior and intelligence and it can and does assist people to study life. Unlike Wundtian pseudo-psychology, it has no political aspiration. Scientology is not teaching dialectical materialism under the heading of “psychology”. As has been the tradition for thousand of years, the study of the spirit and all spiritual matter rightfully belong to religion.

Scientology, used by the trained and untrained person, can improve the health, intelligence, ability, behavior, skill and appearance of people.

The Scientology religion is precise and exact, designed for an age of exact sciences.

Scientology is employed by an 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 (a Scientology practitioner).

[alteration highlights: the very definition of the subject was changed, key sentences were removed, new sentences were added, a word “science” replaced with a word “religion,” a word “can” was arbitrarily inserted in “can improve” as opposed to “improves”]


It is noted here that the section defining the subject of Scientology was already severely altered in the first edition of “Fundamentals of Thought” under the new copyright “L. Ron Hubbard Library” in 1988. The text there went as follows:


1988 page 9)

“What is Scientology?

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy.

The term Scientology is taken from the Latin word scio (knowing in the fullest meaning of the word) and the Greek word logos (study of). In itself the word means literally “knowing how to know.”

Scientology is further defined as the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life. [Nothing of this sort can be found anywhere in 1973 edition.]

Any comparison between Scientology and the subject known as psychology is nonsense. Early psychology such as that begun by St. Thomas Aquinas and extended by many later authors was, in 1879, interrupted severely by one Professor Wundt...” [the text continues...]

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 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) 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.

THE EIGHTH DYNAMIC — is the urge toward existence as Infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. It is carefully observed here that the science of Scientology does not intrude into the Dynamic of the Supreme Being. This is called the Eighth Dynamic because the symbol of infinity stood upright makes the numeral “8”. This can be called the INFINITY or GOD DYNAMIC.

As has already been noted, the triangle is not an equilateral triangle. Affinity and Reality are very much less important than Communication. It might be said that the triangle begins with Communication, which brings into existence Affinity and Reality.

The most primitive Scientology definition of Communication is “Cause-Distance-Effect”. The fundamental manual of Communication is the book, 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.

As has already been noted, the triangle is not an equilateral (all sides the same) triangle. Affinity and reality are very much less important than 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.
