Lecture: Dianetic Auditing and the Mind

I know, it’s fashionable for the newspapers to say I never went to college, and there are several colleges at this particular time that are wishing that I hadn’t gone there. But I can also assure you that you give them another decade or so, those colleges I haven’t even done more than go to [...]

Lecture: The Role of Earth

Now, you’re looking at – what I’ve been describing here – you’re looking at the reactive mind. You’re not just looking at something that’s vaguely like the reactive mind of the first book; you’re looking at the reactive mind. The first book1 could be said to be a  description of ridges2 and the behavior of [...]

Lecture: The Logics

In Dianetics we introduce infinity-valued logic1, and this is our second logical postulate. You have probably seen this before. It is in earlier notes and lectures. I will go over it very briefly in order to give you just a little review.
On one side we have right, on the other we have wrong. On each [...]

Lecture: Flows: The Part Force Bears In Clearing

We  find  out  that  an  individual’s  concept  of his  space  regulates  his concept  of  density.  And  his  concept  of  density  would  be  his  degree  of aberration or his degree of freedom,  as the case may be. And we could just arbitrarily divide  up  the  arbitrary scale we  call the  Tone  Scale,  something like this. [See [...]

Lecture: MEST Processing

Let’s go into the history of what they laughingly used to call psychotherapy. The first thing that man came up with in this line that was really effective was shock treatment and hypnotism. These are the oldest varieties —sedation, narcosynthesis, shock and, at about the same time, brain operations. These are about two thousand years [...]

Lecture: Study of the Particle

I don’t know what kind of a socialism, it’s invented all the time. But we’re fondly believing that our forefathers fought for democracy. They didn’t, they fought for rugged [...]

Lecture: Formative State of Scientology: Definition of Logic

It is all very well to say, “One equals one,” until you ask, “One what?” It’s very nice to have an abstract datum: one,  and this abstract datum is a symbol  that  will   represent  another  one,   and   that  is   a   symbol  which represents—but let’s  say,  “One what?” And we say, “One  apple.” And if we [...]

Lecture: Agree and Disagree: Have, Not Have

What is space? Space is a viewpoint of dimension. Is it an actuality? No, it’s not an actuality. It’s just viewpoint of dimension. Therefore, many things can  exist  concurrently  with  many  other  things  in  the  same  space.  Why? Because the space isn’t there. Does this call Korzybski a liar? Yes, it does, but he didn’t [...]

Lecture: Logics 1 – 7

The Logics  are  as follows:  The  Logics  are  a  method of thinking.  They apply to any universe or any thinking process. They do not have to apply. You can get the doggonedest combinations simply by disobeying a Logic. Some data which you should have in advance of the actual Logic, and one is the defmitions [...]
