L Ron Hubbard, Dianetics, Science Fiction and The Dangerous Dimension. RTGA.

Some thoughts on the works of L. Ron Hubbard and the problems they pose to are project of reviewing the golden age of science fiction.

It occurs to me that the description of what auditing is meant to accomplish may not be entirely precise. For one thing Scientologists would use the term reactive mind where I use the term unconscious mind. I have tried to research it properly but may not have fully understood everything.
