This page aims to give a summary of books concerning Scientology which were not written by the founder (so-called) of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard. Contributions are invited by all who have data on non-LRHL. Ron Hubbard Scientology books, following Wiki principles, and I am starting it with the books I have. It is arranged in order of publication, and using most browsers, you can search for individual titles or authors using Contol-F. It is split, somewhat arbitrarily, into two parts, before and after 1980, just after 1980 being the time when there was a large exodus from the "Church" of Scientology, and, with the advent of the world wide web and other technologies, 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
was maintained world wide with those who practiced forms of Scientology outside the jurisdiction of the official/original Scientology body. 1980 is very roughly around the time when Ron Hubbard lost control of Scientology (near his death).
If you access the item marked Discussion to the right of Ron's picture at the top of the page you will be able to see, and possibly contribute to, ideas behind setting up and improving this (in the end) pretty long page.

Scientology: Science of the Constitution and Usefulness of Knowledge by Dr. A. Nordenholz
The above is a translation of the German title: Scientologi: Wissenschenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens.
Dr. Nordenholz was a German, living in Argentina. There was a second edition of the book, which was reportedly following more closely Hitler's 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) of thinking.
In the 60's a translation of the book was made by an American Saint HillThe name of LRH's home in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. (BTB 12 Apr 72R) Briefing Course student, Woodie McPheeters, who was declared a Suppressive Person2. a person who rewards only down statistics and never rewards an up statistic. He goofs up or vilifies any effort to help anybody and particularly knifes with violence anything calculated to make human beings more powerful or intelligent. A suppressive automatically and immediately will curve any betterment activity into something evil or bad...More. The book became more widely known, and re-translated and printed in both German and an English translation in 1995, by Freie Zone e.V – Eigenverlag, and copies are still available. There are articles about it in the magazine IVy (International Viewpoints) notably a summary of most of it by C.B Willis. You will find them in issues 29, 30, 31, 32 and 35 (page 44) – see ivymag.org/pdfs . With regard to Woodie McPheeters part in it, see page 8 on of IVy_106.pdf. See also [1]

In about 1957, when he was Shipping Officer at London (Fitzroy Street) Antony Phillips was offered and bought this book. It was a green hard cover book (no dust jacket). He was offered it as it was being taken off the list of books for sale. It had descriptions of some cases, as far as he can remember, some concerned homosexuality. He can't find it now.
1952
An Outline 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.

Health and Happiness by John Davis
"The booklet you mention was "Health and Happiness." It was actually written by John Davis, a Hollywood script writer who was also my 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. Gordon Beckston (Beckstead) a PhD in Psychology from Phoenix, AZ published this booklet as well as the tapes from Howes' processing in Minneapolis, MN. Notice that Hubbard did not gnash his teeth and rent his clothing because I used some of his material as well as that of my own. You can read his comments in the booklet itself because the booklet is part of my "File:During the Dawn of Dianetics and Scientology - Perry A. Chapdelaine, Sr .pdf" found on Kindle at Amazon.com or Nook at Barnes and Noble, all online.
You can contact me at adminA contraction or shortening of the word administration, admin is used as a noun to denote the actions involved in administrating an organization.

Summary of Scientology by Jack Horner
This is an all round summary of Scientology for the public written by someone other than Ron Hubbard. It covers the main theories and practice of Scientology as known at that time (which is a remarkably large amount of what has remained to this day). Jack had experience in the very early days 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.

1958
Creative Education by Dame Muriel Payne
Published by William Maclellan, Glasgow - data taken from bibliography of The Road to Total Freedom by Roy Wallis. We don't have the book or data on it. There is a link at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Education-plates-Muriel-Payne/dp/B0017CX36S . If any one cares to investigate this book and author and pass the data on to Scientolipedia readers it would be most welcome.
We, London Scientologists in 1958, were given to understand that Muriel Payne was a Dame (the female British equivalent to a Knight of the British Empire/Commonwealth) and worked with education in India, using Scientology principles (of that time - before "Study Tech" of the 60s). Quite a fuss was made of this form of "official recognition" of Scientology.
Have You Lived Before This Life

1982
Excalibur Revisited by Geoffrey C Filbert
This book, first issued in a very limited edition, is remarkable in that it is probably the first book which gives the majority of Scientology processes including their commands and confidential material. The original was 800 pages and contains a lot of material which in many ways gives a second opinion on Scientology and in some cases gives the authors extensions to the subject. You are referred to the article on it at: [[9]]
1984
The O.J. Roos Story
This account Otto Roos gave of his experiences in Scientology, including his trying to handle the auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975) of Ron Hubbard, originated as a letter to John Atack. Shortly afterwards, on 16 October 1984, Otto Roos gave permission for it to be distributed to 40 terminals around the world who formed a loose Freezone 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.

1997
Self Clearing by The Pilot
The Pilot wrote anonymously because he was in the Church of Scientology and didn't want to be found out, owing to the fact that he was reformer and had strong views about the way the Church was going, abandoning many of the basic theories and principles. The Church was then very harsh on "deviants", would have excommunicated him if they could find him, which he did not want. He had previously issued another book, Super Scio, and been communicating every fortnight on a secret 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) to an Internet newsgroup widely read by people interested in Scientology. At the time this book, Self Clearing, could have been considered revolutionary. It consists of do-it-yourself Scientology procedures, and the do-it-yourself principle, which gave no income to the Church of Scientology and was called self auditingThe application of Scientology processes and procedures to someone by a trained auditor. (Dianetics & Scientology Technical Dictionary (C) 1975), was severely frowned upon by the official Church. The book therefore gives the opportunity for the adventurous person to bypass the Church of Scientology in handling his/her problems, and increasing ability and understanding of life.
