hrough his extraordinary journey to the founding of Dianetics and Scientology, Ron did just that. From his adventurous youth in a rough-and-tumble American West to his far-flung trek across a still mysterious Asia; from his two-decade search for the essence of life to the triumph of Dianetics and Scientology—such is the story Ron recounts in a lecture so legendary, it has been heard by millions.

Si has tenido alguna vez la sensación de que algo te estaba reteniendo en la vida, arruinando tus planes o impidiéndote ser lo que tú querías ser; estás en lo cierto. El hecho es que, hay una única fuente para todos tus problemas, el estrés, la infelicidad y la propia falta de confianza. Se llama la mente reactiva: la parte oculta de tu mente que almacena todas las experiencias dolorosas y luego las usa contra ti. Con Dianética, puedes aprender a controlar tu mente reactiva; liberándote para vivir una vida extraordinaria y ser tú mismo.

Since time immemorial, Man has sought to liberate the soul from the body and so achieve immortality. In this account of the religious heritage that stands behind Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard recounts the extraordinary story of Man’s epic quest for a way to attain that goal.

The single word “liberty” articulates not only basic rights, such as freedom of speech and religion, but many other vital concepts: opportunity, choice,security and even happiness. Indeed, it is a word that symbolizesthe dreams and goals of every human being.Yet its very power makes it liable to abusive ends entirely opposed to its true meaning.

L. Ron Hubbard reveals discoveries that provide a wholly new perspective on efficiency—not in a mechanical sense, but in terms of thought, emotion, and effort. Moreover, here is the explanation of why an address to thought is of paramount importance, in that thought alone can change emotion and effort. In full, then, contained within this lecture is the “secret” of efficiency and the very means of overcoming the vagaries of emotion and the effort of work.

Money is, of course, something with which everyone is familiar. But how many people truly understand the role money plays in the society? Judging from the duress and anxiety associated withthis subject, few people are aware of the real purpose and function of money. Here Ron delineates its proper role inassisting the survival of individuals, groups and cultures.

What motivates life? What motivates Man? Those were the questions Ron posed when seeking workable answers to the problems of both the individual and society. After examining the whole of life in its variety and complexity, he isolated a common denominator to all living things—the Dynamic Principle of Existence: Survive!

It has no mass or location. It is not energy. Yet it is alive. And it gives life. Such are the characteristics of “a life-giving unit” - the source not only of all thought, but of all that is decent, ethical and noble. Indeed, this is you. The discovery that each individual is, in fact, a source of life radically alters the relationship between Man and the material universe.

When still a young man attending university, Ron observed that those working in the humanities had no training in the exact sciences. Believing that the precision of the scientific method might furnish a solution to the problems of life, he urged faculty members of the psychology department to apply the principles of physics to the field of the mind. It was an entirely novel approach. And when no one took up the challenge—either then or in later years—Ron undertook the task himself.

It is no minor breakthrough to at last answer the question of how to achieve abundant survival in this crucial part of life. With this knowledge, anyone can discover what the Second Dynamic really is and understand its exact relationship to the rest of their life. And thus, whether as individuals, couples, or families, they can finally realize its full potential for happiness.

Here is a story that begins with Ron’s immersion in a deeply spiritual, deeply traditional Asia, where he met and befriended - among other savants - the last of the greatmagicians whose predecessors served in the court of Mongol emperor Kublai Khan. Yet not withstanding the feats that testified to remarkable powers, here was a land where wisdom was deemed sacred - so sacred, in fact, these Oriental holy men declined to use their considerable abilities to solve the real and urgent problems of living....
