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.

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 the 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.
[audience standing up and clapping]

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.”

You can see the full version of this video on the official Church of Scientology website at this address: http://www.scientology.org/david-miscavige/basic-books-and-lectures.html
The segment about Science of Survival starts at 57:17 time marker of the video.

For those Scientologists who truly bought into all this nonsense from David Miscavige, consider this:

Science of Survival was first published in 1951. Ron Hubbard officially “departed” in 1986. Unlike some other basic books, Science of Survival never even had another edition in all of 30 years that this book was in publication and in active use during the earlier time in Scientology history. The same text was simply reprinted in consecutive reprints as can be seen on the copyright page of the 1975 reprint[1] used in this report. Do you really think that Ron Hubbard, a very experienced and accomplished writer, in all of 30 years of using Science of Survival never even bothered to check if the book was exactly as he wanted? This is especially in light of the fact that this is the one book, apart from 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, which provides the foundation for the entire Grade Chart as David Miscavige himself had noted?

In addition, Science of Survival is one of the few books that was placed on record with the U.S. Library of Congress carrying a unique U.S. Library of Congress number (52-5566). Do you think that Ron Hubbard did not make sure that “all the commas were in the right place” before the book was fixed in its state to be preserved for future generations?

Do you also not think that if any students had difficulties understanding the book because of “semicolons” that it would not be brought to Ron Hubbard's attention in all of 30 years that he 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 the Church?

David Miscavige also misstated an important fact. The first publication of the book was NOT subtitled “Simpler and Faster Techniques.” As can be seen on the description page in 1976 Technical Volume I[2], Science of Survival was originally subtitled “Simplified, Faster Dianetic Techniques” which would make sense since it is the next book that followed after the first publication 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. It disposed of body illness and the difficulties a thetan was having with his body. (HCOB 22 Apr 69)...more: The Modern Science of Mental Health.” And, once you have it in front you, it is almost impossible not to notice how toward the end of his talk David Miscavige says “just as LRHL. Ron Hubbard wrote it.” Didn't he earlier state that the book was DICTATED? That's whyThat basic outness found which will lead to a recovery of stats. (HCO PL 13 Oct 70 II) “the transcriptionist and the editor were the first to touch this book.” No? Is this not a clear example of Miscavige starting to get tangled up in his own web of deception?

POLICY APPLICATION

Note, that the following generalizations are a direct manifestation of the first anti-social characteristic*:

how come so many find it so complex?

a good percentage of readers never understood in the first place

the march of the semicolons frustrating readers

they still started the sentence in the wrong place (no specific examples)

*The first anti-social characteristic:

“The antisocial personality has the following attributes:

1. He or she speaks only in very broad generalities. “They say …” “Everybody thinks …” “Everyone knows …” and such expressions are in continual use, particularly when imparting rumor. When asked, “Who is everybody . . .” it normally turns out to be one source and from this source the antisocial person has manufactured what he or she pretends is the whole opinion of the whole society.

This is natural to them since to them all society is a large hostile generality, against the antisocial in particular.”

START OF ALTERATIONS REPORT

First, there is an obvious change in the material form of the book: 2007 edition is much larger and heavier.

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! Bold formatting 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.

Fundamentals of thought Alterations

CAPITALIZATON

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. (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, 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, Tone Scale, Tone, Straight Memory, Lock Scanningone contacts an early lock on the track and goes rapidly or slowly through all such similar incidents straight to present time. 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. (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 (as a group of two) if he expects to runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) any secondary engrams on this 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.

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.

A History of Man - Alterations

SPELLING

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. 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; pre-clear > 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; psycho-surgery > psychosurgery; psycho-therapist > psychotherapist; coaudit > co-auditThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975); nonsurvival > non-survival; un-enturbulate > unenturbulate

PUNCTUATION / SENTENCE STRUCTURE

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.

Many sentences that were joined with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, etc) and a comma were broken down with a period. Examples:

1975: B1-5	2007: B1-6
Each form evolved from the initial impact of theta against 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, and each form on a higher level is supported by lower-level forms.

Some sentences with a coordinating conjunction were broken down where there was not even a punctuation mark such as a comma or a semicolon requiring a pause. Examples:

1975: B1-13	2007: B1-15
The result is that when he is in a restimulative environment he may be covertly hostile but in a more favourable environment he may be analytically very productive.

Many sentences that were joined with a semicolon with or without a coordinating conjunction were broken down with a period (see “MORE ON THE USE OF A SEMICOLON” section for examples).

The indiscriminate breaking down of sentences extended into a total absurdity of resulting in sentences that are grammatically incorrect:

1975: B1-52

2007: B1-59

First, the pre-clear would be in very deep apathy, not knowing or caring whether this incident would resolve or not. He would then go up the scale to apathy, then to grief.

First, the would be in very deep apathy, not knowing or caring whether this incident would resolve or not. He would then go up the scale to apathy. Then to grief.

[“Then to grief” is an incomplete sentence since it does not contain a verb and is just a continuation of the concept being expressed in the preceding sentence.]

2007: B1-91

The word somatic means, actually, bodily or physical. Because the word pain 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 to denote physical pain or discomfort of any kind. It can mean actual pain, such as that caused by a cut or a ; or it can mean discomfort, as from heat or cold; it can mean itching—in short, anything physically uncomfortable.

The word somatic means, actually, “bodily or physical.” Because the word pain 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 , to denote physical pain or discomfort of any kind. It can mean actual pain such as that caused by a cut or a . Or it can mean discomfort as from heat or cold. It can mean itching. In short, anything physically uncomfortable.

[Notice how in the original sentence a semicolon was skillfully used to connect related sentences in a more continuous flow1. an impulse or direction of energy particles or thought or masses between terminals. (HCOB 3 Feb 69)...more of thought – this was broken up with periods in the “corrected” 2007 version. In addition, “in 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” was surrounded by commas where it did not need to be, and “in short, anything physically uncomfortable” was separated into its own sentence resulting in incorrect grammar since it does not contain a verb.]

Here is another clear example:

1975: B2-11

2007: B2-225

The mate who is lower will demand more and give less, and will assert more reality but will actually have less.

The mate who is lower will demand more and give less. And will assert more reality, but will actually have less.

[Here “And will assert more reality, but will actually have less” is not a correct sentence because it does not contain a subject. The comma between “less” and “and” was used in the original text as a matter of style and not to separate two sentences joined with a coordinating conjunction as usually the casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63). Also, there is no need for a pause between “reality” and “but” so there was no need to have a comma in that place.]

MORE ON THE USE OF A SEMICOLON

Let’s look at Miscavige’s claim with respect to the use a semicolon a little closer:

“…they [transcriptionist and the editor] 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…”

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.

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:
http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/semicolon
http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/semicolons.asp
http://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/Semicolons.html (you can also use this website for definition of terms: independent clause, coordinating conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs, and transitional phrases).

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.” [3]:

1975: B1-42	2007: B1-49

There is much more that could be discovered about this mechanism or conversion of physical pain to, for instance, terror or grief or apathy; and the discovery probably lies in the field of further examination and understanding of free theta; but it is certain that secondary engrams, with their mis-emotion5. emotion could be called the energy manifestation of affinity. As used in Dn, emotion could be called the index of the state of being. In the English language, “emotional” is often considered synonymous with “irrational.” This would seem to assume that if one is emotional one cannot be reasonable. No more unreasonable assumption could possibly be made. (SOS, p. 48)...more, occlude somatics.

MISLEADING USE OF PARENTHESIS

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 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. 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:

Examples of misusing parenthesis like the few above are abundant throughout the text – at least a few in nearly every chapter. Alterations in punctuation overall however are so abundant that it would be an overwhelming task to even just count every single occurrence. Miscavige did say 3825 – he wasn't kidding.

A “too-complicated” school of thought, masquerading as science, took up this argument, seeing that it obfuscated any real explanation, or reason for one, and began to say that the human , being part of a machine which was too complicated for biology and biochemistry, was of course too complicated to understand. It is felt that this waving aside of the problems of operation, this acting on the defeatist principle that the could not be solved, introduced “therapies” which were “too complicated.” It took four to twelve years to get an inkling of these therapies and all evidence to hand, carefully compiled, shows that they do not work, that the problems of criminality, insanity and war still remained, with these systems of “therapy,” far out o f control. The too-complicated school of life and operation gives us a picture o f a group of demon exorcists rushing around plague-ridden London a couple of centuries ago, telling everyone they had the solution to the plague, while some hundreds of thousands of Englishmen died the black death.

It is felt that this “waving aside of the problems of ” operation, this operation on the defeatist principle that the could not be solved, introduced “therapies” which were “too complicated.” It took four to twelve years to get an inkling of these therapies.

[The two sentences defining the Eighth Dynamic were not written by L. Ron Hubbard. This text does not appear even in 2001 altered edition. How exactly does one survive “through” the Supreme Being?

The ONLY place where a definition for the Eighth Dynamic appears in the original text of Science of Survival is in the Publisher's Introduction – the very section that was not included in either 2001 or 2007 altered versions of the book. The definition went as follows:

1975: xi) Dynamic eight is the urge toward survival as a part of or ward of a Supreme Being. The number eight, laid on its side, gives us the symbol -∞- for infinity.

Even a more precise definition of the Eighth Dynamic is given in the original Fundamentals of Thought book:

1975: 38) “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 mind is a communication and control system between the thetan and his environment. (FOT, p. 56)...MORE of its own all of a sudden.]

These are very easy to spot, however, since dub-in sonic usually is inane.	These are very easy to spot, however, since dub-in sonic usually is inane and does not make sense.

[“inane” already means that it “does not make sense” according to the very definition of the word.]

The dub-in sonic , after it has been worked for a short time, can be expected to lose the dub-in, once the causing it is contacted or when the tone of the casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) rises. A non-sonic results.

The dub-in sonic , after it has been worked for a short time, can be expected to lose the dub-in. Once the causing it is contacted, a non-sonic results.

[In addition to a missing phrase, notice how a change in punctuation from a comma to a period results in a loss of meaning: a clear connection between losing a dub-in through contacting the circuit1. a part of an individual’s bank that behaves as though it were someone or something separate from him and that either talks to him or goes into action of its own accord, and may even, if severe enough, take control of him while it operates. A tune that keeps going around in someone’s head is an example of a circuit. (NOTL Gloss)...more that is causing it is lost.]

This has misled practitioners and authorities in the past into believing that sonic recall was only to be found in idiots and morons, an entire falsity based on limited observation.

The thinking on this subject in the past has been entirely too short. The strange belief has been held in the past that a great deal of aberration meant a great deal of thrust and drive and, therefore, that an individual who was neurotic could be expected to perform in the arts and in other directions m ore ably than a person who was sane.	The thinking on this subject in the past has been entirely too short. The observation has been, in past schools, that a great deal of aberration meant a great deal of thrust and drive and, therefore, that an individual who was neurotic could be expected to perform in the arts and in other directions more ably than a person who was sane.

[“Belief” and “observation” are totally different concepts!]

The running of future pleasure moments sometimes tunes up the perceptics. These are actually imaginary incidents, so far as can be told. The tone of the individual goes up when running moments of pleasure, and so when moments of pleasure in the future are imagined, the tone of any individual may be expected to rise.

The running of future pleasure moments sometimes tunes up the perceptics. These are actually imaginary incidents, so far as can be told. The tone of the individual goes up when running moments of pleasure and so when moments of pleasure existing in the past are runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) or when moments of pleasure in the future are imagined, the tone of any individual may be expected to rise.

[Looks like someone was getting confused here – a portion of the sentence “The tone of the individual goes up when running moments of pleasure” already communicated the fact that one's tone goes up from running “moments of pleasure existing in the past.” It does not need to be repeated in another arbitrarily added portion of text in a sentence.]
