Stressed for the holidays?

Whether based on our job, our relationship with others or on world events that
threaten our lives, stress is a fact of life in the modern world. Stress can result
from exposure to shocking events or painful emotions. As a result, stress may
also be accompanied by illogical fears and irrational behavior.
One well-known self-help author says that the foundations of stress can be
found in what he has called the reactive mind. According to author L. Ron Hubbard,
the reactive mind is the portion of a person's mind which works on a totally stimulus-response
basis. It is not under his control and can exert power over his awareness, purposes,
thoughts, body and actions.
In his popular book, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,
Hubbard explains that there is something effective available to help people deal
with stress. Dianetics describes just how the reactive or subconscious part of
the mind can overwhelm the analytical mindand why this causes stress. This
mechanism in the mind managed to bury itself from view so thoroughly that only
many years of exact research and careful testing uncovered it.
"This is the mind which makes a man suppress his hopes, which holds his
apathies, which gives him irresolution when he should act and kills him before
he has begun to live," writes Hubbard in Dianetics.
The book Dianetics provides techniques one can apply to get to this source
of stress and anxiety and eliminate it. Whether a person is experiencing stress
in the workplace and just cannot stop himself from making the same mistakes on
the job again and again; or there is something that a person's loved one is doing
out of no ill-will that the person cannot help but "blow-up" aboutthus perpetuating the stress in the relationshipthe carefully researched
techniques in Dianetics have been found to be able to get to the bottom of it.
Stress is often mentally "brushed off" as a normal part of life,
something to grit one's teeth through and hope for a better day. Yet just as one
would not let a machine continue to operate under extreme pressure, neither should
one do that with the mind. There is a way to gain control and operate without
the hindrances of stress, anxiety and depression.
Join the millions over the world who have used Dianetics® technology to
become truly well and happy. Take your next step towards getting rid of your reactive
mind!

Why should you know something about your mind? by L. Ron Hubbard
"Thus it is of enormous importance that we understand
something about the mind, that we understand we are minds, that we are not machines,
and it is of enormous importance that Man attain at once to some higher level
of freedom where the machine reaction of destruction may be controlled, and where
man himself can enjoy some of the happiness to which he is entitled." L.
Ron Hubbard

the initial release of Dianetics, Thousands came to see the author himself demonstrate
Dianetics techniques. |
Why should you know something about your mind? A question
of similar magnitude would be "Why should you live?" A science fiction
writer once conceived a world composed entirely of machines, composed to a point
where the machines were repaired by other machines, which in turn were repaired
by yet other machines, and so the circle went 'round and the machines survived.
He wrote this story from the fondest belief of nuclear physicists that there is
only a machine, that man derived from some spontaneous combustion of mud, that
the soul does not exist, that freedom is impossible, that all behavior is stimulus-response,
that causative thought cannot exist. What a world this would be! And yet this
world, this pattern, is the goal of the slave makers. If every man could be depressed
from his freedom to a point where he believed himself but a cog in an enormous
machine, then all things would be enslaved. But who would there be to enjoy them?
Who would be there to profit? Not the slave maker, for he is the first to succumb.
He succumbs to his own mechanisms. He receives the full jolt of his own endeavors
to entrap. What would be the purpose of this world of machines? There can be no
purpose worth contemplating which does not include happiness and experience. When
a man is no longer able to envision happiness as a part of his future, that man
is dead. He has become nothing but an animated robot, without understanding, without
humanity, perfectly willing, then, to compose missiles of such detonative quality
that an entire civilization could perish, and that the happiness of all could
be destroyed in the experience of radiationan experience which might be
considered digestible by an atomic pile*, but not by a human being. Thus, as we
depart from the concepts of freedom, we depart into a darkness where the will,
the fear, or the brutality, of one or a few, no matter how well educated, may
yet obliterate everything for which we have worked, everything for which we have
hoped. This is what happens when the machine runs wild, and when man, become a
machine, runs wild. Man can only become a machine when he is no longer capable
of understanding his own beingness and has lost his contact with it. Thus it is
of enormous importance that we understand something about the mind, that we understand
we are minds, that we are not machines, and it is of enormous importance that
man attain at once to some higher level of freedom where the machine reaction
of destruction may be controlled, and where man himself can enjoy some of the
happiness to which he is entitled.
L. Ron Hubbard
