A friend of mine does lectures on Dianetics in Canada. After one of these lectures, he was having a “discussion” about Dianetics with someone that was going to school – training to be a psychologist. In this discussion, this person made a critical comment about Dianetics. My friend asked her how long she’d been studying psychology. The answer was 2-3 years. He then asked her if she felt she was an expert in psychology. The answer was a definite no – she did not feel herself, by any means, an expert yet. He then pointed out that she was passing judgment on Dianetics after a 30 minute lecture.
When one reads the manual for their new phone or VCR or DVD player, it takes actually working with it to feel comfortable with the knowledge and its application.
Here is what L Ron Hubbard has to say about learning and applying Dianetics Therapy:
“Any person who is intelligent and possessed of average persistency and who is willing to read this book thoroughly should be able to become a Dianetic auditor. When he has Cleared two or three cases, he will have learned far more and understood far more than is contained in this book. For there is nothing which develops an understanding of a machine like handling it in action. This is the instruction book, the machine in question is ready to hand wherever there are men.”
