With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard.

Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

While, as such, he presents the culmination of science and spiritual technology as embodied in the religion of Scientology.

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC IN THE DERIVATION SENSE OF THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 22, 2016
Wow what a book! Due to the need for excessive "word clearing" it took me 8 years to finish it but the "cognitions" I got out of it were fantastic and I mean "fantastic" in the derivation sense of the word:
"Late Middle English (in the sense of existing only in the imagination, unreal)"

I didn't know that I used to be a clam, a sloth or, as everyone knows, the scientifically proven Piltdown Man. Because of reading this early on and really getting it without questioning I was able to complete OTIII without considering that having Thetans blown up in an Hawaiian volcano 75 million years ago by that cosmic jackass Xenu, they would have a hard time having been the victims of that since there were no Hawaiian volcanos at that time.

But that's what makes Scientology so great is that is only for the insiders to be the ones privy to information that may seem outrageously stupid to the average person and because basic logic and common sense does not live in the rarified realms of the upper levels of the Operating Thetans. Operating Thetans such as Hubbard can create their own realities and in his case he put them down on the printed page and I don't see any reason that all humanity should not believe what he wrote word for word without any alterations.

After my 8 years of completing this book I left it with a sort of consistent buzz in my ears and a sort of floating feeling that made it a bit difficult to order eggs and pancakes at Denny's but considering my trillions of years of existence and now my understanding of it all by reading this book, that is a small price to pay for my ultimate freedom down the line by going up the Bridge. I say "down the line" since unfortunately I only have $1.97 in my bank account (Hey, Denny's is getting progressively more expensive!) and I know going up the OT Levels will cost at least 10 bucks. Maybe in another 8 years I can scrounge that up. I wonder if eggs and pancakes taste better when one is freed of body Thetans?

I suggest everyone read this book if you are curious about the egg-stent of your history as a spiritual entity!!!!!!!
