WHAT IS DIANETICS - AND WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH MENTAL HEALTH?
That's the focus of this lens. It's about sharing, talking about, and introducing people to, a great book called DIANETICS. I think Dianetics is the most important and valuable book ever written on the human mind.
I found it not only interesting but very credible because the concepts and information made sense to me and I could apply them in my life. Many ideas I had were validated, many incidents explained. I learned a lot about the mind and want others to have this information.
HEY, WE ALL HAVE A MIND - SHOULDN'T WE KNOW HOW IT WORKS? For this reason alone I think everyone should read it.
The word Dianetics comes from the Greek dia, meaning "through" and nous, meaning "soul", and is defined as "what the soul is doing to the body."
DIANETICS AND THE REACTIVE MIND
THE SINGLE SOURCE OF ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
Well you were right. Something is and it is called the Reactive Mind - the hidden part of your mind that stores all painful experiences and then uses them against you.
Dianetics gets rid of the reactive mind. It's the only thing that does.
Who Wrote Dianetics?
WHERE DID THESE IDEAS COME FROM?
Dianetics was published on May 9th, 1950 and became a New York Times bestseller. 18 million copies have been sold since then. Dianetics is the only book to appear on the New York Times bestseller list nearly fifty years after its first publication and appearance.
Walter Winchell, noted columnist of the New York Daily Mirror described Dianetics "as revolutionary for humanity as the first caveman's discovery and utilization of fire."
DIANETICS VERSUS PSYCHIATRY
HOW DO THEY DIFFER?
L. Ron Hubbard gave us a completely new way of looking at the mind. In fact he discovered HOW the mind works. With this knowledge he was then able to create solutions for dealing with and handling the mind, for solving mental and emotional problems - real solutions that work. Psychiatry has never given us that. Psychiatry has never provided certainty. Psychiatry uses drugs, and/or hypnosis. Dianetics never uses drugs or hypnosis.
PSYCHIATRY: AN INDUSTRY OF DEATH
Psychiatry: An Industry of Death, Introduction
Think psychiatry has nothing to do with you? Think again. Through rare historical and contemporary footage and interviews with more than 160 doctors, attorneys, educators, survivors and experts on the mental health industry and its abuses, this riveting documentary blazes the bright light of truth on the brutal pseudoscience and the multi-billion dollar fraud that is psychiatry. We think you have the right to know the cold, hard facts about psychiatry, its practitioners and the threat they pose to our children.

- Thanks Ryan,
I am glad that you found my lens interesting. Please do yourself a favour and read the book. The information in it is amazing. Every time I read Dianetics I wish that everyone else could read it too. It is that powerful.
Yes, Elizabeth, NJ is where Mr. Hubbard is from! Cool that it is also your Dad's home town.. Have you been there?

More Books by L. Ron Hubbard - The Basic Books & Lectures Collection
18 Hardback Books, 14 Lecture Series - A total of 280 Lectures
"THE BASIC BOOKS AND LECTURES FORM THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THE BRIDGE TO FREEDOM IS BUILT."
"They are presented in the sequence Ron wrote or delivered them. In many instances, Ron gave a series of lectures immediately following the release of a new book to provide further explanation and insight of these milestones. Through monumental restoration efforts, those lectures are now available.
While Ron's books contain the summaries of breakthroughs and conclusions as they appeared in the developmental research track, his lectures provide the running day-to-day record of research and explain the thoughts, conclusions, tests and demonstrations that lay along that route. In that regard, they are the complete record of the entire research track, providing not only the most important breakthroughs in Man's history, but the why and how Ron arrived at them.
Not the least advantage of a chronological study of these books and lectures is the inclusion of words and terms which, when originally used, were defined by LRH with considerable exactitude.
Far beyond a mere "definition," entire lectures are devoted to a full description of each new Dianetics or Scientology term-what made the breakthrough possible, its application in auditing as well as its application to life itself. As a result, one leaves behind no misunderstoods, obtains a full conceptual understanding of Dianetics and Scientology and grasps the subjects at a level not otherwise possible.
Through a sequential study, you can see how the subject progressed and recognize the highest levels of development. You will then be able to fill in missing gaps, not only gaining knowledge of each breakthrough, but greater understanding of what you've already studied.
This is the path to knowing how to know, unlocking the gates to your future eternity. Follow it."
