Dianetics: The Original Thesis

About Dianetics: The Original Thesis

Here is L. Ron Hubbard’s first description of Dianetics. It was originally circulated as a manuscript among a few friends, then soon reproduced and passed from hand to hand until it had literally circled the globe. The resulting word-of-mouth enthusiasm fueled even greater interest. Thousands of letters arrived requesting more information. L. Ron Hubbard concluded that the only way to answer all the inquiries was to write a book. That book was Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health—the now-unrivaled bestseller on the subject of the mind. Discover how it all began. For here are the fundamental discoveries and factors of Dianetics, including:

• The Fundamental Axioms of Dianetics – axioms upon which the entire subject is built
• The discovery of the dynamic principle of existence, which constitutes the driving force for all life forms—SURVIVE!
• The four dynamics into which life is divided and which determine a person's survival
• The discovery and formation of the reactive mind
• Engrams, the sole source of all irrational behavior
• The effective command within every engram that, prior to Dianetics, prevented it from being discovered and cleared.
• The analytical mind: how it functions and operates
• The first description of the "Clear" state, its characteristics, and its possibilities.
• And, most importantly, the laws of return—which contain the explanation of how and why auditing works.

Here, then, are the fundamental breakthroughs L. Ron Hubbard used to produce the first Clears—breakthroughs that enabled the development of a technology anyone could use to begin clearing a planet; breakthroughs found only in Dianetics: The Original Thesis.
