I’ve been re-reading all of my Dianetics material. These books have been republished within the last year with corrections made according to the original transcripts. I just finished the book Evolution of a Science, which gives a kind of History of Dianetics. If you want to know how this subject came into being, what logic was used, the trials and tribulations that went into the discoveries, then this is the book to read. It will tell you why a new society will thrive and exactly why one that has been around for any length of time will start to dwindle. It also lays out solutions for these developments.
“The black enchantment of Earth didn’t turn out to be a sinister barrier. But it’s a black enchantment all the same. The social and personal aberrations, traveling from Egypt’s time and before, piling up higher and higher, being broken only by new lands and new mongrel races.
The black enchantment is slavery. Man’s effort to enslave Man so that Man can be free. Wrong equation. That’s the black enchantment. We’ve a magic word to break it and a science to be applied.”
from “Evolution of a Science” by L. Ron Hubbard
