Text in bold and italic, like this, is notes to people working on this draft, and will be taken out before publication.
This item is to go on the following item [[1]] just after the introduction (that is to say before the item First Happiness Rundown).
I, Ant, I am doubtful about finding a good heading for this area.

Data on Preparation of HRD

From Janis Grady

Subject: Re: Request: any information about The Way to Happiness?

Hi Ant,

I might be of some help.

When LRHL. Ron Hubbard wrote The Way to Happiness he was in hiding with Pat and Annie Broker, so I was not there. But what I do remember is that when the book was received, the LRHL. Ron Hubbard PRAbbreviation for public relations. The art of making good works well known. (HCO PL 21 Nov 72 I) had to get it published and do up a campaign around it and the Snr CSAbbreviation for 1. Case Supervisor. 2. Commodore's Staff. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). Int Office had to work out the rundown of processes. This is what RTRC (LRHL. Ron Hubbard Tech and Research Compilations) would do. They would take everything LRHL. Ron Hubbard had written or spoken about a subject and put the processes together and write it up in bulletin form under the name of LRHL. Ron Hubbard.

Based on the year TWTH came out, the rundown would have been compiled by David and Merrill Mayo, Julie Gillespie-Mayo and perhaps Penny Eldredge.

Hope this helps.

Surname would be also a good idea ;-)

Hi Ant,

Dan [Koon] is right, I was up to my ears in the HRD evolution - first as a trainee at ASHOAbbreviation for American Saint Hill Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). when it first came out in '81 (under David Mayo's supervision), then as 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 and C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE at Phoenix Org, and finally in Senior C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE Int's office in late '82 to '84. I was 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 RTRC (LRHL. Ron Hubbard Technical Research and Compilations) and the one who did nearly all the work on the revision project, eventually submitting the new HCOBHubbard Communications Office Bulletin (technical bulletin) Also colloquially referred to as "red on white" HCOB's are always red ink on white paper. drafts to Ray Mithoff and LRHL. Ron Hubbard for approval.

Here's a fast summary of what went on, as I recall it.

1. LRHL. Ron Hubbard did write TWTH. As far as I know, he wrote it entirely on his own, in late 80 and maybe early 81. I know (from despatches to Snr C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE Int in 82/83) that he was proud of it, and considered it one of his most important legacies.

2. The HRD was put together by Mayo and (I believe) Melanie Murray [Melanie Seidler Murray]. Others on David’s staff very likely contributed, too. It was based on Ron's notes and instructions, also from late 80 and early 81. In other words, Mayo and Co. did not make this stuff up out of their own heads.

3. A big training and export evolution was done at ASHOAbbreviation for American Saint Hill Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). in spring - summer 81. The idea was to haul in 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 and a C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE from as many orgs as possible, train and intern them on delivering the rundown, and send them back to their orgs to deliver tons of it. Mayo was there (at ASHOAbbreviation for American Saint Hill Organization. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976).) at the start of the evolution. I arrived (from Phoenix Org, where I was the Snr C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE at the time) shortly after Mayo left - but the evolution was still in full swing, and David came by to check up on progress a time or two. I never saw Melanie, though I believe she took part in setting up and starting the training program.

As a side note, the subject of auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) basics was a major element of the HRD courses and training program. The courses included 8 or 10 LRHL. Ron Hubbard lectures on auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) basics, along with numerous issues, lots of drills and so on. I believe the rationale was dual. First, HRD worked best when 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 basics were solidly in. Of course that’s true of any auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975), but it's particularly applicable in the casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) of HRD, due to the nature of what it addressed and that fact that for many preclears it was some of the earliest auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) they received (so that they may have been a bit more "fragile" as pcs). Second, since the rundown was to be pushed as “the next big thing,” with orgs and missions training lots of people to deliver it (new auditors and old hands, too) – it offered an opportunity to improve 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 basics broadly.

4. HRD was marketed and pushed heavily, mid-81 and into 82. As I recall, it was extremely popular and a big success. Fairly easy to deliver, got lots of rave results, okay to deliver on people at many points on the grade chart, relatively affordable, etc. Good stuff.

5. Mayo was removed from postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) in late August/early Sept 82. Ray went on postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) as Snr C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE Int. I was the first techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) person added to his new office, Sept 82. One of the earliest projects I was given was overhaul of the HRD (Ron had asked Ray to get this done, and Ray assigned it to me). Over the next several months (into the summer of 83? - I don't recall exactly) the HCOBs for the rundown were all revised, and the "new" rundown was piloted to ensure it worked. It did work, and the revised rundown was submitted to LRHL. Ron Hubbard for approval, along with a program to implement it internationally. LRHL. Ron Hubbard approved the issues and program, and the rundown was "re-released." It continued to be delivered, but never had the same popularity (or marketing attention) as when it first came out.

Opinion, big time: First, after Mayo’s removal, the rundown may have been somewhat "tainted" in the eyes of some public and staff because of its association with Mayo, who had been thoroughly, loudly discredited and disgraced. When it came out in its revised "purified" form, it was viewed with suspicion by some, because it came from LRHL. Ron Hubbard Tech Research and Compilations, not directly from LRHL. Ron Hubbard (and at that point anything not 1000% Ron was viewed with suspicion). I remember seeing and receiving letters to this effect from techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) staff around the world, as RTRC Director. Also, the revised rundown changed some things in a rundown that had been working very well for people. Most notably the checking for reads point, which made it more complex and difficulty-prone. Finally, HRD was almost completely eclipsed by the next Next Big Thing, which I believe was FPRD. (That’s another whole story in itself, OMG.)

Anyway, since HRD was no longer pushed and wasn't a mandatory Grade Chart step, it faded into obscurity in most places. By the time I went on postA position from which a terminal operates in an org, where one knows that somebody is at. (FO 2200) as Services Executive International many years later (mid-95), there was zero management attention on it. The push was all sec checking/FPRD, all the time (except for the big-money services at AOs and Flag and Freewinds). I did receive a few letters and reports from techAbbreviation for technology. The methods of application of an art or science as opposed to mere knowledge of the science or art itself. (HCOB 13 Sep 65) terminals here and there, saying they were still delivering HRD with great results and wondering whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) it wasn't being promoted.

I hope that's of some use to you. Again (and in the interest of the precept "Seek to live with the truth") it is just what I recall of events that took place 30+ years ago. It includes opinions, and some of the data is probably a bit off (though not intentionally so). Unfortunately, aside from Dan [Koon], I don't know anyone else to refer you to for more info about the whole thing. Maybe if you could reach Melanie or David, they'd have some useful input. (If you do, please tell them I said hello!)

[In a later email Russ adds:] You're right, the revised bulletins are not enormously different from the originals. The big casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) histories issue was dropped because it was considered (a) not really necessary (b) not asked for or approved by Ron, and (c) liable to be full of outpoints and "twists," put there by the "suppressive" Mayo and Murray.

[And in another email:] I had a quick look at the pages you linked to in the message below - very interesting, even on just a fast scan-through. I'd forgotten about that cancellation HCOBHubbard Communications Office Bulletin (technical bulletin) Also colloquially referred to as "red on white" HCOB's are always red ink on white paper.. I wrote that one, with some help from Ray. It was also seen and okayed by LRHL. Ron Hubbard, though I don't know how closely he actually reviewed it. Nor do I know that all of what it said was actually correct. The main thing that jumped out at me as possibly being horse shit is, once again, the point about checking for reads on HRD questions. Reads weren’t checked in auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) the original rundown, and in my experience as 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 and C/S2. the C/S is the case supervisor. He has to be an accomplished and properly certified auditor and a person trained additionally to supervise cases...MORE, it worked extremely well that way - probably for the exact reasons mentioned (and the LRHL. Ron Hubbard data referred to) in one of the write-ups you linked to.
