I recently read Dianetics: the Evolution of a Science.  I'd read it before but, as with most of L. Ron Hubbard books, I find each time I read it I learn so much more.

What is really fascinating about this book, in my opinion, is the way Mr. Hubbard came to discover what he did about the mind.  He describes the path of discovery in this book -  the path of investigation he followed, what he looked into, what he discarded and why.

Not only does it give you a lot of insight into Scientology and Dianetics, but it is also a great lesson in how to do effective research and think out of the box.

Dianetics the Evolution of a Science can also be read online.

 

I've had some people ask me what to do if there is no Dianetics group or Scientology church near where they live.  The fortunate thing is that today most people in the world can take advantage of Dianetics by using the Internet.  You can go to
https://www.dianetics.org/html/en_US/feature/contact/communicate.html and ask for help finding a Dianetics Auditor. 

For example I just checked Viet Nam.  There doesn't appear to be a Dianetics center in Viet Nam, but the Dianetics book is published in Viet Namese and chances are there are people who have purchased the book and also want help.

There is someone on call at www.dianetics.org who will help you find an auditor.  In some cases it will be another person new to Scientology and Dianetics and you will get help in learning how to audit (applyDianetics to one another).  You can use the hotline if you run into anything you can't figure out.  In no time at all you will be a competent Dianetics auditor, able to help others improve their lives and overcome the things that plague them in life.

I have a new friend in Pakistan who is starting a Dianetics group this way.  He has read the Diaentics book and has the Dianetics DVD and he and his friends are just diving in, getting help when they need it from the Dianetics hotline.
