The book did hit #1 on the best sellers list in 1950 that was the only time it got there legitimately. He and his whacko's have kept it on the list every since. Members are still expected to buy several copies a year out of there own money. When I bought my house in the Santa Cruz area one of my neighbors came by on the day after we moved in. She seemed nice enough and brought a welcome basket with her. In with the usual fare was a Dianetics book, I handed back the basket and slammed the door.
So basically Scientology is a mish mash of Darwin's ideas about survival of the fittest, psychology intelligence and personality testing, psychoanalysis and regression techniques also including past life regression, self help workshops, hypnotism (because R.Hubbard was an accomplished hypnotist), sociology and anthropology with a little sci-fi and spiritualism thrown in for good measure! He covered everything as far as I can see LOL

I wonder what "Old Mother Hubbard" thought about this? Her son has claimed abuse; as he was raised in a shoe, "and so forth." Legend has it that mom "had so many children, she didn't know what to do!"
"I don't make any money whatsoever..." "...(funding) comes from my personal fortune."
And this is from the founder of the "science of mind?"
I think DM and co. treated LRH like the "crazy granddad" he was (is the word "insane?") and abandoned only the teachings and practices that were low-profit!
he is right
look at our society now

"The insane and so-forth, somebody else can have them; they've already failed."
Why does Mr Cruise criticise psychiatric practice so passionately in public if his religion doesn't give a toss about the "already failed"??
