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:

L Ron Hubbard's 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 and Scientology books have been altered from his original writings and publications, and not for the better - the proof is in this and related articles attached.


“SCIENTOLOGY: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THOUGHT”


Comparing 1973 edition (17th printing – 1976) copyrighted under L. Ron Hubbard [ISBN 0-88404-018-6] to 2007 edition copyrighted under “L. Ron Hubbard Library” [ISBN 978-1-4031-4420-1]


As you review this report, 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.

The very first (1956) edition of The Fundamentals of Thought was also available for this review and was found to be basically the same as 1973 publication used in this report.


BASIC HIGHLIGHTS

Nearly all direct references to Scientology being a SCIENCE were 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 as a “religion” in the original text of The Fundamentals of Thought. On the other hand, Ron Hubbard used the word “religion” throughout the book to refer to traditional religions as it is commonly understood. Examples:


“There is no argument whatsoever with the tenets of faith since it is not precisely stated, uniformly, by religions that one immediately goes to a heaven or hell.” (page 66 in 1973 edition or altered version of this sentence on page 77 in 2007 edition)


“One protests against the physical universe only when he feels that he can have no part of it or does not belong in it or, as in religion, is not looked upon kindly by what he conceives to be the Creator of the physical universe.” (page 74 in 1973 edition or page 88 in 2007 edition)

Science of Survival - Alterations

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 flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more 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.

Example of alterations in punctuation:

1973 page 70 2007 page 80
There is no effort in Scientology to out-create each and every thetan1. the living unit we call, in Scn, a thetan, that being taken from the Greek letter theta, the mathematic symbol used in Scn to indicate the source of life and life itself. (Abil Ma 1) 2. the awareness of awareness unit which has all potentialities but no mass, no wave-length and no location. (HCOB 3 Jul 59) 3. the being who is the individual and who handles and lives in the body. (HCOB 23 Apr 69)...more that comes along. It is, of course, possible to conceive Scientology as a creation, and to conceive that it is overwhelming. It should be viewed otherwise, for it is intended as an assistance to life at large, to enable life to make a better civilization and a better game.

For it is intended as an assistance to life at large, to enable life to make a better civilization and a better game.

[Starting a new sentence with “For” which is really a continuation of the thought from the previous sentence is a sign of poor grammar.]

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 flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more of author's thought.


The list below also does not include SPLITTING MATERIAL within one chapter into several chapters or moving sections of text into a different chapter. This again leads to disruption in the thought flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more of the author and results in a loss of full conceptual understanding on part of the reader.


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” was 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."


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 flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more of conceptual understanding has already been interrupted.

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.

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.

[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.

[Word “bisexual” was removed and the third sentence was broken into two.]


1973 page 38 2007 page 39
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. THE EIGHTH DYNAMIC — is the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as 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.
