L. Ron Hubbard è tra gli autori più duraturi e letti del nostro tempo, con 19 bestseller del New York Times e oltre 350 milioni di copie delle sue opere in circolazione. Come figura di spicco della narrativa pulp americana degli anni '30 e '40, è considerato uno degli autori più influenti dell'era moderna. Il suo impatto è evidente, poiché molti maestri di racconti immaginifici hanno reso omaggio al suo lavoro. Hubbard è anche noto come il Fondatore di Dianetics e Scientology, l'unica grande religione nata nel XX secolo, che incarna il culmine della scienza e della tecnologia spirituale.
Le barriere della vita non sono, in realtà, che ombre. Imparate a conoscere voi non solo un ombra di voi stessi. Con la più completa descrizione della coscienza.

Poi, applicando una serie di procedimenti leggeri, ma potenti allo stesso tempo, vi imbarcherete nella grande avventura della scoperta di voi stessi.

I Problemi del Lavoro contiene i principi e le leggi fondamentali che si applicano a ogni impegno, a ogni problema di lavoro. Sono le scoperte che mettono a nudo il nucleo di questi problemi e spiegano la stessa essenza della vita.
Le scoperte dettagliate qui includono:
• L'Anatomia della Confusione — e la sua cura
• La Dottrina del Dato Stabile — la legge più fondamentale del lavoro e della vita
• L'Anatomia del Controllo — e come trasformare il "cattivo controllo" in buono
• L'Anatomia della Vita come Gioco — e le regole secondo cui viene giocata
• Il "Segreto" dell'Efficienza
• Gli elementi più fondamentali della vita — Affinità, Realtà e Comunicazione
• E la causa fondamentale dell'Esaurimento, con i potenti processi di Scientology che restituiscono l'energia della giovinezza
Ecco quindi non solo tecnologia per portare stabilità sul posto di lavoro, ma i processi magici per restituire la gioia stessa a tutta la vita. Perché questa è la Scientology.

A monumental work acclaimed as a genuine masterpiece, L. Ron Hubbard's 1.2-million-word ten-volume MISSION EARTH dekalogy brilliantly blends science fiction and action/adventure on an interstellar scale with sharp satire reminiscent of Voltaire, Swift, and Orwell. This publishing phenomenon set precedents as each volume became a New York Times and international bestseller, selling over five million copies and remaining on bestseller lists worldwide. It has won France's Cosmos 2000 Award and Italy's Nova Science Fiction Award, and was nominated for a Hugo Award. The epic narrative unfolds a secret invasion of Earth, narrated by aliens who live among us unnoticed. The story features memorable characters and settings, including Palace City, Joy City, and the ominous prison fortress of Spiteos, against the backdrop of the Voltar Confederation's plan to use Earth as a staging area for galactic conquest. Combat Engineer Jettero Heller is sent on a top-secret mission to save the planet from pollution and other threats. Unbeknownst to him, a rival faction, the Coordinated Information Apparatus, is using Earth as a drug supply base and dispatches its own mission to thwart Heller's efforts.
La morte è una fine o un nuovo inizio? Ti sei mai sentito turbato da pensieri strani che non riesci a spiegare? Hai mai visitato un luogo per la prima volta e hai avuto la sensazione di esserci già stato? Un libro o un film sul passato ti ha mai disturbato così profondamente da farti chiedere perché?

Leggi i racconti straordinari di quaranta persone comuni che hanno contattato esperienze di vite passate utilizzando tecniche specifiche.

Albert Einstein ha detto che usiamo solo il dieci per cento del nostro potenziale mentale. "Dianetics" ti dice come liberare una fetta molto più grande di tale potenziale. La fiducia in se stessi, relazioni interpersonali armoniose e un atteggiamento positivo nei confronti della vita possono assolutamente essere raggiunti. Si possono raggiungere le proprie mete con maggior certezza se si è in grado di scoprire la causa dei turbamenti, delle reazioni o delle emozioni indesiderate. La mente umana non è un puzzle misterioso, impossibile da risolvere. Leggi "Dianetics" e lavora con esso, vedi in che modo funziona per te e trai le tue conclusioni. Il libro fornisce una chiara descrizione di ciò che avviene nella mente e spiega un metodo pratico che ti permette di esplorare il tuo subconscio e di sbarazzarti di ciò che ti tiene giù, dando come risultato un Q.I. aumentato e benessere. Si consiglia di vedere il DVD "Come usare Dianetics" man mano che si legge il libro, in modo da avere una spiegazione visiva dei concetti e dell'applicazione pratica.

Il Manuale per i Preclear è il leggendario manuale di auto-elaborazione che segna la transizione dal soggetto della Dianetics alla Scientology. Qui si trovano le scoperte che hanno rivelato il fenomeno del CONTINUUM DELLA VITA — un meccanismo attraverso il quale ogni individuo assume le disabilità dei defunti, fino a non vivere più la propria vita. Qui, quindi, ci sono le risposte per liberarsi di tutte quelle parti di "te" che non sono realmente TE. Il libro include:
• Saggi espansivi che forniscono la descrizione più completa dello Stato Ideale dell'Uomo
• La Mente Umana, come opera e il suo scopo sottostante
• Il Centro di Controllo, l'unità di "consapevolezza della consapevolezza" della mente, e come essa sia la CAUSA del corpo e dell'ambiente
• I Quindici Atti di auto-elaborazione che spostano un individuo da EFFETTO a CAUSA — processi così potenti che questo libro è ora conosciuto come il libro dei miracoli
Questa edizione del Manuale per i Preclear è stata specificamente progettata per facilitare l'uso nell'elaborazione, con spazio fornito per rispondere a domande di elaborazione e risultando in un record permanente e completo del proprio caso per l'uso in future elaborazioni. Nell'auto-elaborazione, il Manuale per i Preclear è utilizzato in congiunzione con l'Autoanalisi.
This book introduces a pivotal concept: Self-determinism. While inherently positive, self-determinism can lead individuals to be influenced by their environment and others. As noted, engrams only have power when the individual allows them to. The Fifteen Acts of Advanced Procedure focus on restoring the preclear's self-determinism.
With new insights into engrams, the text reveals the use of Service Facsimiles, mechanisms that rationalize life’s failures but trap individuals in negative behavior patterns. The technology of Advanced Procedure is presented as a means to rehabilitate self-determinism.
Key elements include: the interplay of Thought, Emotion, and Effort; the Fifteen Acts of Advanced Procedure; identification and management of Five Types of Cases; the Emotional Curve and its impact on life; Effort Processing, which uncovers the full history of Man and genetic evolution; a legendary chapter on Full Responsibility that shifts perspective from Effect to Cause, paving the way to true freedom; Logics, which outline a structured approach to data alignment; and Axioms, which codify the mind and life.
This book reveals how every mental and physical aberration stems from an initial postulate, guiding readers to uncover the decisions and evaluations that have made them the effect of their own cause.

Productivity, efficiency, time management and security in the workplace are some of the subjects are covered in this book. As L.

What is Knowledge? What is Truth? And what is the Secret? If you knew the answers, you'd understand everything. Fortunately, they are within reach.

This concept serves as the "magical formula" that guides the journey out and reshapes auditing at every level.
