| 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 |
What is Scientology? SCIENTOLOGY EMBRACES and treats of human ability. |
[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 SECOND DYNAMIC — is the urge toward existence as a sexual or bisexual activity. This dynamic1. any one of the eight subdivisions of the dynamic principle of existence-SURVIVE. (PXL, p. 49) 2. dynamic is the ability to translate solutions into action. (HFP, p. 171) 3. the tenacity to life and vigor and persistence in survival. (DMSMH, p. 38) actually has two divisions. Second Dynamic (a) is the sexual act itself and the Second Dynamic (b) is the family unit, including the rearing of children. This can be called the SEX DYNAMIC.

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

| 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.

| The earlier science 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 included Dynamics One to Four.

| 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.

| The Future of Scientology With man now equipped with weapons sufficient to destroy all mankind on Earth, the emergence of a new science capable of handling man is vital. Scientology is such a science. It was born in the same crucible as the atomic bomb. The basic intelligence of Scientology came from nuclear physics, higher mathematics and the understanding of the ancients in the East. Scientology can and does do exactly what it says it can do. In Washington, D.C., there is an enormous file cabinet filled with thousands of casethe whole sum of past by-passed charge. (HCOB 19 Aug 63) |
