Lecture: SOP: Spacation (continued) (1)
If a person doesn’t want to have a psychotic around him, if he’s afraid to have a psychotic around him, he won’t take possession of a psychotic long enough to break the case. That’s very obvious to you now at this stage of the game in your training. If he’s busy running [...]
Lecture: Handling Psychotics
The problem here is that of accessibility. The Standard Procedure Chart has right under its heading “(For Accessible Cases).” I have talked earlier about accessibility1, and the least accessible character of them all is the psychotic. That’s what it means. He is inaccessible. If we modified our terminology to make it [...]
Lecture: Introducing Dianetics – Public Lecture Given at Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles (1)
There are many questions that have come up regarding Dianetics, some of which I will answer here.
“What are the results with psychotics?”

Treating a demon circuit psychotic you will have to probably discover the source of the demon circuit. These demon circuits are “Everybody’s against me” control circuits, “You don’t dare tell him the truth” circuits, and so on, but this person will move to some slight degree on the track. You may have to push him [...]

Simple though it is, Dianetics does and is these things:
1. It is an organized science of thought built on definite axioms (statements of natural laws on the order of those of the physical sciences).
2. It contains a therapeutic technique with which can be treated all inorganic mental ills and all organic psychosomatic ills, with assurance [...]
PAB: The Open Channel
Besides having a couple of other things to do in the last eight years, I have been in search of an open channel for Dianetics and Scientology which would not run into large obstacles and which would thereby make it possible for organizations and auditors to outflow what we know to [...]
Book: Dianetics: The Original Thesis (1)
INTRODUCTION
In 1932 an investigation was undertaken to determine the Dynamic Principle of Existence in a workable form which might lead to the resolution of some of the problems of Mankind. 1 A long research in ancient and modern philosophy culminated, in 1938, in the heuristically discovered Primary Law. A work was written at that time [...]
