Scientology - Its General Background by L Ron Hubbard
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. Embracing a tradition from the very dawn of civilization, here is the history of Man's relentless pursuit of the knowledge which inspired this planet's great philosophies and religions. Moreover, as the details unfold of their swift expansion across a then barbaric world-civilizing East and West alike-he isolates not only the very reason and substance of religious influence, but also the common purpose uniting all religious thinking. Against the backdrop of this epic drama, L. Ron Hubbard reveals how Scientology, drawing from and building upon the aspirations and achievements of 10,000 years of thinking men, represents an historic, long-sought triumph for Man. For with its discoveries and technology comes the culmination of Man's oldest quest and the accomplishment, in the here and now, of his most enduring dream-the freeing of the soul by wisdom. Here, then, is how East and West, science and religion, have finally come together.
Author, humanitarian and Founder of Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard is one of the most acclaimed figures of the modern age. In a writing career spanning more than half a century, he was both a leading light of American fiction and the author of more than 35 million words of nonfiction--the single most embracive statement on the human mind and spirit, providing the only road to total spiritual freedom. To date, more than 320 million copies of his works are in circulation worldwide, in 71 languages. All told, those works comprise over 3.000 recorded lectures and some 1.084 written publications, including nineteen New York Times bestsellers. Accordingly, and in testament to the magnitude of his literary legacy, there are his four Guinness World Records: most published author, most translated author, the author with the most audiobook titles and the single most translated non-religious work. Yet the essence of L. Ron Hubbard's legacy is perhaps best expressed in his simple declaration: "I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days. "These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. And I am afraid I am just as delighted as he is."
