re you a friend of yours?
Probably the most neglected friend you have is you. And yet every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself.
In this society, where aberration flourishes in the crowded cities and marts of business, few are the men who have not been subjected, on every hand, to a campaign to convince them that they are much less than they think they are.
You would fight anyone who said of your friends what is implied about you. It is time you fought for the best friend you will ever have yourself.
The first move in striking up this friendship is to make an acquaintance with what you are and what you might become. “Know thyself!” said the ancient Greek. Until recently it was not possible to make a very wide acquaintance. Little was known about human behavior as a science. But atomic physics, in revealing new knowledge to Man, has also revealed the general characteristics of the energy of life. And by that, a great deal can be known which was not before suspected.
You do not need to know atomic physics to know yourself, but you need to know something of the apparent goal of life in general and your own goals in particular...
Just now let's talk about the general goal of all life. From whence did we come and whither are we going? Knowing that, we can know something about the basic laws which motivate your own urges and behavior.
All problems are basically simple once you know the fundamental answer. And this is no exception in life. For thousands of years men strove to discover the underlying drives of existence. And in an enlightened age, when exploration of the universes had already yielded enough secrets to give us A-bombs, it became possible to explore for and find the fundamental law of life. What would you do if you had this fundamental law? How easily, then, would you understand all the puzzles, riddles and complexities of personality and behavior? You could understand conjurers and bank presidents, colonels and coolies, kings, cats and coal heavers. And more important, you could easily predict what they would do in any given circumstance and you would know what to expect from anyone without any guesswork indeed with a security diabolical in its accuracy.

“The Basics really form the fundamental knowledge that comprise Dianetics and Scientology. I have been in Scientology since I was five (thirteen years) and there is data in these books and lectures I have never heard of before. I thought I knew what Scientology and Dianetics were, but I was really mistaken in that assumption. In doing the Basics it's as if I'm on a journey with Ron, exploring new realms and finding out about areas Man never dreamed of before. Because of the consecutive study, the data becomes one big concept and it is really easy to understand and makes sense because of its chronological sequence. If I hadn't listened to the lectures, I'm certain I wouldn't have gotten the full understanding I have of everything in the books. Because the lectures give all the data of importance that lead one from the last book to the next one. (And just because the books were written in close intervals, it doesn't mean that there isn't a lot of data in between because there is!) Those who want to call themselves Scientologists have to do these courses to really know what they are.”
“It is becoming clear to me that I'm being processed personally by Ron on every course and throughout every lecture. In addition to gaining knowledge of Dianetics and Scientology, I am blowing off an incalculable volume of charge simultaneously. The reason that I do the books and lectures concurrently is that the lectures bring the practical application of the data in the books. Because of the smooth sequence of the materials from discovery to discovery I have full understanding of exactly what Ron is talking about and I really get it. That's not to say that I don't get a lot of TA from completing the books on the checksheets, because I do. On every book, when I complete the essay and clay demos on the checksheet, I immediately have charge blowing off. In answering a question for an essay, my mind is straightened out on that particular point as opposed to my mind being in a tangle. It all untangles and is much more like layers of straw because it's not as intertwined as it was. To put that in another way, my confusions are simply being unwound.”

THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE OF SCIENTOLOGY...
These books and lectures contain the discoveries and codifications LRH made during the pivotal early years when the foundations of the subject were laid down. Yet, until now, they have never been available.
The lectures comprise the running record of LRH’s research into the mind, spirit and life, while the books are the summary conclusions of his monumental discoveries. Here are not only the basics such as ARC, the Tone Scale and The Factors, here too are the principal incidents on the whole track, the electronics of human thought, the potentials of theta, exterior OT abilities and much more.
This is the path to knowing how to know, unlocking the gates to your future eternity. Follow it.
