Jack Horner was a good example of early Scientology. He ran ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.'s, in 1956 Scientology published his book Summary of Scientology, he was active in England, USA and South Africa, he left Scientology 1965, formed a "splinter" group and gave a series of lectures to the group many of which represent original Scientology.

Jack achieved a BA in Journalism and did postgraduate work in psychology and education, but was most dissatisfied with what psychology had to offer. He read science fiction magazines, saw Dianetics1.

(Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) three preclears, who responded as predicted in the book. He described his experience as follows:

So being a reader of science fiction since about 1937, I got very interested in this work called , and when the book came out I read it. I was taking graduate classes, seminars, and I carried the book with me, and read the book in class for something to do. And so I had the book about two days before I could give anybody a session. I’d hold the book in my lap and say, “Well when I count...”. What do you know, it happened! “Oh, good. Well, now do this, do this, do this”, and then the guy’d come up with something. “What the hell do I do now? Where’s that note?” Worked right out of the book, but the first three people I utilized those rather primitive techniques on responded exactly as they were supposed to, without knowing that’s how they were supposed to respond. And I said, “My god, this is what psychology should have been.” So I got very interested. The idea was that if you could get a person to recover his total experience of a lifetime, get him to have at his available consciousness his total experience from conception to present time, and in his control, you’d have a clear human being. And you did that by having the person methodically find the blocks and unblock them, by re-experiencing the incidents which he wasn’t willing to experience in the first place, until all the pain was gone, at which point it’d just be experience without pain. So he wouldn’t have any data that was unknown to him, and he would have an optimum degree of consciousness and information to work with in order to survive. That was great.

I got so interested that I dropped my graduate work. I talked enough people into paying me in advance for a course, to go back to New Jersey and study on the first course that Ron Hubbard taught there. It was really the first and a half course, [be]cause there were about a half a dozen guys who started a week or so before some of the others of us did. It was a very long course. It was a month long. And it was composed of lectures. If you could get any you got it from wherever you got it from. If you could give any, if you could talk anybody into letting you them, you did.

We had long lectures from John Campbell on psychosomatic conditions, and long lectures on attempted abortions and the instruments used to attempt them, because we were quite interested then in running prenatal incidents. That was a big revolutionary idea 21 years ago, in 1950.

The above is taken from a fuller account by Jack in IVy 43 http://articles.ivymag.org/pdf/IVy43.pdf (this link may download the pdf file). There was a relatively big demand for courses, 500 waiting, according to Jack, and Jack was hired as one of several instructors who came out to Los Angeles to help teach the first course in Los Angeles. He was one of the original founders of the California Association of Dianetic Auditors (“C.A.D.A.”) in 1950. At about this time, he says, he invented a process "concept straightwire" which was a repetitive process1. is simply a process that is run over and over with the same question of the pc. The pc answers the thing and the auditor gives him an acknowledgment. Gives him TR-4 on his origins and it is run until it is flat. (SH Spec 169, 6207C10)...More, and thus the first repetitive question process in Scientology.

England

Jack traveled to England and in the late summer of 1951 gave a Congress. He returned later and gave three Advanced Clinical Courses (ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation. the highest course in Scientology in the 50s). He was the only person apart from Ron who was allowed to runUndergo processing. (Science of Survival, p.75) Advanced Clinical Courses

South Africa

Jack traveled to South Africa and ran an HPAAbbreviation for Hubbard Professional Auditor. (Modern Management Technology Defined (C) 1976). course (together with Margaret Scholtz) and an ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation.. I have a vague memory of hearing that he made the South African Personality Analysis, which was a version of the OCA (Oxford Capacity Analysis) and APA (American Personality Analysis) tests (the 200 question test widely used in Scientology in the 50s). When he was there his book (which he possibly wrote in England) was published by Scientology under the title Summary of Scientology. He had published it himself under the title Fundamentals of Scientology.

Leaving Scientology

Jack describes the process of his leaving Scientology as follows (taken from http://articles.ivymag.org/pdf/IVy44.pdf page 5 and 6 - link will download pdf file)

"Scientology, because of its Clear program, was getting a lot of publicity and growing all over the world very rapidly. But it went on a very militaristic and fanatic . The minute you get on the “only source” and the “only solution”, you get into fanaticism. And they started building a semi-military organization called the “”, to keep people in ."

"Now one of the fantastic and yet unfortunate things about Scientology, and the reason many of us stayed with it for so long, is that Hubbard had discovered so much, and if he didn’t discover it all, he certainly put it together very well. He was so right about so much that if we didn’t see something, we were a little prone to say it was our failure of vision, not his. “He must see things we don’t see” tended to be our rationalization on it. So we’d go along with things we didn’t agree with, because maybe we just didn’t understand them yet."

"And it was the only game in town. By that time, in teaching this subject around the world, I had looked at every imaginable philosophy, spiritualism, type of psychology and so forth, and I didn’t find anything with a better set of generally applicable techniques. So where else was there to go?"

"And I had 15 years of personal contacts tied up in that. It was quite an interesting bridge to burn, to cut myself off from 15 years of worldwide friends, who weren’t allowed to talk to me anymore because I disagreed. Now, that to me was a violation of the whole concept of what we were trying to do in the first place."

"But I eventually discovered that, in cutting myself off from Scientology, I had stopped using my knowledge. The act, if any, was on myself. Because I wasn’t sharing all of that understanding that I had gained from the years of work I’d put in. And I was cutting my own throat. So I bandaged my throat and started lecturing again."

From that it looks to me that Jack was very self-determined when he left official Scientology. Nevertheless "The Church" declared him suppressive, and I found one Ethics order on him, dated September 17th 1965.^[1]

In 1969 Jack formed a new group, incorporated under the name “Association of International Dianologists,”^[2] and began giving lectures on a subject he called “Dianology,” later renamed “Eductivism.” The first public lectures of Dianology and the first professional course in the subject were given in an apartment on Fuller St., Los Angeles, starting in September of 1969. The first Dianology office was at 1700 Westwood Blvd., starting January 1, 1970 (ground floor only) and one year later a second floor was added. The Los Angeles center moved to an office on the grounds of the Santa Monica Airport in the summer of 1974, where it remained until early 1976, and after that it relocated to several other offices in Westwood and Santa Monica, California. Also there was a period of about 2 years, from mid-1974 through part of 1976, during which Jack maintained a satellite Eductivism center on Union Street in San Francisco.

The Dianology/Eductivism centers generally had one or more larger spaces for lectures and course room activities, private offices for Jack and usually an assistant functioning as a registrarIn a Scn org, the person signs up people for Scn service (HCO Admin Ltr 30 Jul 75)/director of processing, and a number of private auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) rooms.

The name change from Dianology to Eductivism apparently occurred in January of 1971, based on numbering of his lecture tapes. (The first lecture given an "EJH" rather than "DJH" designation was titled "Eductivism" and was given on January 9, 1971.)

One feature of the Professional Eductor's Course was that once a student paid for the course, most new technical developments were generally issued to the student at no additional 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, and any student who finished the course would be free to come in and participate in course activities at any time. (This was also the policy in Scientology in the 50's - if you took an ACCAdvanced Clinical Course - ACC - one of a number of theory and research courses delivered by L. Ron Hubbard during the years 1953 to 1961, which gave a deep insight into the phenomena of the mind and the rationale of research and investigation., the highest Scientology course, you got all further course , which would probably be retreads, free)

Official Scientology could not accept Jack's departure, and Jack describes some of the opposition he had and how he developed the subject as follows (again from IVy 44 page 6)

"Then I was informed that the had hired some special people on a mission to get me. In the first place, in giving the lectures I started to give, I was sending people to them. I guess it was too much for them to confront. And they wouldn’t leave me alone. During that period a man appeared at our back door in Evanston, Illinois with a bottle of acid in one hand and a gun in another. Also during that same period a man named Otto Roos was sent by L. Ron Hubbard on a mission here to Los Angeles (I was not in Los Angeles, I was in Chicago), to rent a theater, advertise my name in the newspapers, and say I was giving a lecture and then when the people got there, lock them in and chant phrases at them."

"They were advertising in the Scientology papers at that time, “If any of you members of the see the following people use R2-45”, and they listed some names of people. R2-45 is by gun. You know, you take a 45 automatic and a hole in somebody’s head, and that gets them . Most people didn’t remember this. Too many newcomers didn’t know, but Hubbard demonstrated this at a congress one time. He demonstrated it with blanks."

"Here’s a subject which is presenting wisdom, and has tremendous amount of validity, tremendous amount of workability, but is also dramatizing insanity. Whatever happened to Hubbard? I didn’t know for sure what had happened to him. The people I knew in Scientology were among the most intelligent people in the world, and how they could go along with that sort of thing was difficult for me to understand."

"Now, should the good be lost because of the insanity? So I said, “Hubbard must have missed something”. And I started going back over my experience, I dug out all of my books, and I started researching to find out what had Hubbard missed."

"And out of that came what was called Dianology. For years I had kiddingly said, “Someday somebody’s going to start Dianology and Scien-tetics”. I was looking around for a name, and looked in a Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, and there was “Dianology” in the dictionary. So I said, “Well, it’s in the dictionary, we can use it”."

"And also it was close enough. I knew there were thousands of people who’d been trained in and Scientology and had their techniques and tools for helping to clear people, but who were dissatisfied or could not go along with Hubbard’s organizations and his no-pay schedule. So should they go without being able to use their knowledge and share it, too?"

"Okay, so I wrote a book called Dianology, A Better Bridge1. the route to Clear, the Bridge , which we call the Classification, Gradation and Awareness Chart. (Aud 107 ASNO) 2. a term originating in early Dn days to symbolize travel from unknowingness to revelation. (Aud 72 ASNO). to Personal Creative Freedom. The last page 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 said, “For god’s sake, get busy and build a better bridge”. And for years I helped him build his. Finally, I realized it didn’t have to be that one. So I started very quietly out here in Los Angeles around April of 1969 to teach a few people what I knew, and I called it Dianology."

"I didn’t throw away the good that I knew from and Scientology, whether developed by Hubbard, or developed by myself, whether developed by Joe Winter or John W Campbell, or John Farrell, or Perry Chaptalain, or Wing Angell, or Nibs Hubbard, Jr., or anyone of a number of people who contributed heavily and importantly to the subject called Scientology. I took the best of that, and from the axioms that came from Dianology created processes that weren’t in Scientology and as well."

"Well, last year [spoken in 1971] they couldn’t have that either. We were getting too successful. First they sent a spy in and he carried a little tape eraser around with him and erased all of the tapes, particularly those having to do with the history of and Scientology. We didn’t notice it for a while, until a student started to play a tape and there was nothing on it."

"I threatened to suspend the student that I suspected, and that same night this place was broken into. The door downstairs was broken down. In the office all of the tapes that they could find were stolen, mostly mine, all the lectures I’d made up to that point, plus all the administrative records, mailing lists, so forth, meters, our receipt books for the first six months, a couple of Scientology certificates, and a few other things."

"The only things that were stolen were materials of that kind. No typewriters, or anything important from a thief's point of view. It’s kind of interesting, because later on a guy named Bob Thomas, who was kind of a big wheel in the Scientology organization, came to talk to me and John Mac [McMaster] about possibly getting back into Scientology. And we asked him a couple of questions that he couldn’t have answered unless he’d heard the tapes. He answered the questions."

"They got so uptight that they had a guy waiting out in front of my front porch of my apartment one night and proceeded to pound on my skull, which was kind of an interesting experience. I live in a very nice neighbourhood, but I came home after a night course here one night and as I proceeded to open my front door — John Mac was sitting inside, he was staying with us at the time — some guy came running across the street and I happened to notice, I turned around, there was a fist coming at me. So I got a few body blows before I managed to get the guy off of me. I couldn’t quite catch him. He had a car waiting for him with a driver. It was a lighted doorway and he made no attempt to take anything."

"But kind of the ironic thing was that after I staggered inside about 14 cops showed up because various neighbors called the police and so forth in very short time, and I locked myself in the bathroom and sat down and ran out the incident, using Dianetic techniques to out what they had just done. I was laughing and crying, you know. I was crying about the fact that people would think I was that bad. Still kind of ironic."

Dianology becomes Eductivism

The last mentioned happenings caused Jack to change the name of what he did, as he describes here (more from the transcription of the same lecture in IVy 44):

"We haven’t had any particular trouble since, but I decided something, because Scientology was involved in what I considered psychotic activity. They were still locking people up in chain lockers. They were still putting 6 year old kids on bread and water for a week or two at a time aboard that ship. I decided that I did not want to be connected in the public in any way with Scientology. And Dianology was a name I had taken because I couldn’t find a better one at the time."

"So we spent a lot of time researching names again and I found a verb in the dictionary which was to “educe”. To educe means to draw out the potential of, or uncover that which is hidden. So from that I coined the word “Eductivism”, which means the practice of bringing out the potential of or uncovering that which is hidden. And the term “eductor”, which means one who helps somebody develop his potential or uncover that which is hidden, and the term “eductee”, meaning one who is doing that. And this name at least is a clearly differentiated name from Scientology and ."

As a permanent member of the board of directors of C.A.D.A., Jack was involved in the resurgence of the organization that occurred in the 1980’s, serving as its secretary in 1982, and as its vice-president in 1983. For several years during that period the meetings of C.A.D.A. were held at the Eductivism center, at its final location at 3003 Santa Monica Blvd., in Santa Monica, California. Jack maintained the center in active operation there until his death in 1989. Although some of Jack’s staff and students made an effort to keep Eductivism going after his death the physical location of the center had been closed by early 1991 when a final Eductivism newsletter was issued. Today (so far as I know), there is no active continuation of an Eductivism group.
