"And
what does one do about 'how bad it
is'? Well, if one depends for a long
time upon others or the environment
to do something about it, or depends
upon force, he will fail. From his
viewpoint the only one who can put
more life, more understanding, more
tolerance and more capability into
the environment is himself, just by
existing in a state of higher understanding.
Without even being active in the field
of auditing*, just by being more capable,
an individual could resolve for those
around him many of their problems
and difficulties."
L. Ron
Hubbard

a communicating process or a communication
process with the end goal of raising
the ability of another person so that

and environment in general.

Tools for coping with
stress

Whether stemming from our job, our relationship
with others or from 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"
aboutand thus 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!

Man or machine? 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

After
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 there
be 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, and 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
