TERRA INCOGNITA
The Mind, by
L. Ron Hubbard

Originally published by the explorers Club in the Explorers Journal edition of Winter-Spring, 1950.
Here is an excerpt from this 24 page booklet:


It was discovered that the human mind has not been too well credited for its actual ability. Rather than a weak and capricious organ, it was found to be inherently capable of amazing strength and stamina and that one of the primary purposes was to be right and always right. The normal mind can be restored to the optimum mind rather easily, but that is again beside the point.

The Focus of infection of mental and psychosomatic ills was discovered in a hidden but relatively accessible place. During moments when the conscious mind (Dianetically, the "analytical mind") is suspended in operation (by injury, anesthesia, illness such as delirium), there is a more fundamental level still in operation, still recording. Anything said to a man when he is unconscious from pain or shock is registered in its entirety. It then operates, on the return of consciousness, as a posthypnotic suggestion, with the additional menace of holding in the body the pain of the incident. The content of the moment or the period of unconsciousness is called, Dianetically, an "engram." The words contained in the engram are like commands, hidden but powerful when restimulated by an analogous situation in later life. The pain in the engram becomes the psychosomatic illness. Any perceptic in the engram is capable of reviving some of the strength of that engram when it is observed in the environment. The engram so planted in the mind has its content of perceptics - smell, sound, sight, tactile, organic sensations. It has them in a precise order. the engram can be played off like a drama when awake life perceptics restimulate it, which is to say that for every perceptic in the engram there are a variety of equivalents in awake environment. A man becomes weary, sees one or more of the perceptics in his surroundings and becomes subject to the engram within him.

For example, a man falls into a crevasse and is knocked out. His companions haul him forth. One is angry and comments over the unconscious man that he was always a clumsy fool and the party would be better off without him. Another member defends the unconscious man, saying he was a good fellow. The unconscious man, received a blow on the head in his fall, and his arm was slightly injured in the recovery.

After regaining consciousness the injured man has no "memory" of the incident, which is to say, he cannot recall it consciously. The incident may lie dormant and never become active. But for our example, the man who criticized him one day says, at the moment when the formerly injured man is weary, that somebody is a clumsy fool. Unreasonably, the former injured man will become intensely antagonistic. He will also feel an unreasonable friendship for the man who spoke up for him. Now the engram is keyed-in for it has become a part of the subject's behaviour pattern. The next time the injured man is on ice, the sight of it makes his head ache and his arm hurt in dwindling ratio to how tired he gets. Further, he may pick up a chronic headache or arthritis in his arm, the injuries being continually restimulated by such things as the smell of his parka, the presence of the other members etc. etc.

The engram, a period of unconsciousness  which   contained physical pain and apparent antagonism to the survival of the individual, has been isolated as the sole source of mental abberations. A certain part of the mind seems to be devoted to their reception and retention. In Dianetics, this part of the mind is called the "reactive mind." From this source, without otherwise disclosing themselves, the engrams act upon the body and cause the body to act in society in certain patterns. The reactive mind is alert during periods when the analytical mind 9or conscious mind) is reduced in awareness.

It is a matter of clinical proof that the persistency, ambition, drive, willpower and personal force are in no degree dependent upon these engrams. the engram can only inhibit the natural drives. The value of this unconscious experience is valuable to an animal. It is a distinct liability to Man, who has outgrown his animal environment. The reactive mind, so long as it limits its activity to withdrawing, instinctively, a hand from a hot stove, is doing good service. With a vocabulary on it, it becomes deadly to the organism.

FROM NICK BROADHURST
Canberra

I have been counseling Dianetics since 1987in many countries around the world.

This subject is simple to learn and the above book on Dianetics teaches how. I deliver Dianetics exactly how it is presented in this book. It is simple to learn and practice. You can learn this at home.

We have courses on how to learn Dianetics. It minimally takes a week end.

I also counsel Dianetics professionally. If you want, I can offer you a free hour of counseling once you have bought the book. I often meet people and just give them a free hours counseling. It definitely helps them.  I like helping others.

There are people who want to help others, want to help their fellow man. I do this for very little reward. When I hear a person say their whole life just changed from my counseling, that is a reward. But I am not so foolish to think a few hours counseling will totally handle a lifetime of misery for some. I have been doing this for 22 years. I know it works. I know what I can fix.

That is why I want you to read this book. Yes. Buy the book. Order it and I will ship it to you. Then - if you want - I can stay in email contact with you - and take you through the steps of this book so you can learn it for yourself.

There is no pressure and no hype. I just want people to get better.

And, if you want, I will offer you the free counseling first. 

Why would I do this?  I am not desperate to meet people. I am not desperate to help people. But if you have clicked onto this site you are looking for an answer, a real one. A natural one that works. As Dianetics helped me and it has helped millions. I have personally counseled thousands in Australia, Japan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Indonesia. 

So, what have you got to lose? The price of this book is already heavily discounted. If you do not want me to email you, I will not. Just let me know. But in all likelihood, you have read this far and have decided you can accept it.

Dianetics does work. Buy the book and see. I will ship it to you immediately. You can ring me any time, email me or just drop in.

Good luck!

THE DIANETICS OF GRIEF
An Article by L. RON HUBBARD

Throughout the ages grief has been one of the heaviest and most painful burdens to be carries by Mankind. It is to these countless sufferers, present and future, that Dianetics brings hope. For Dianetics eases the load not by sealing off a painful past, but by opening it to the light, by discharging pent-up feelings so that all is free and healthy again.

When Shakespeare said, "No longer mourn for me when I am dead, than you shall hear the surly sullen bell give warning to the world that I am fled," he was recognizing the unnaturalness of excessive grief.

A maiming accident, a business failure, the death of a loved on - all are real experiences, all are real losses, and each of them does carry with it a reduction of the survival potential, a small piece of death. That is why people can become so overwhelmed by grief that they decline and even die.

But since life must go on regardless of losses or catastrophes, it is much better for it to do so happily.

How much better to be able to look back with pleasure and be able to say, "It sure was swell while it lasted!" The individual does more for himself and his environment when he achieves a calm retrospect, without aching heart or tear-dimmed eye.

In the science of Dianetics we find the key for unlocking and draining the reservoirs of destructive emotion. And the techniques of Dianetics are simple - as simple as going back to last night's supper. They form a method of tapping tears at their source so that dreaded memories will no longer be painful. It is a clean, simple scientific method of accomplishing an end which has been the aim of grief rituals of many religions and many peoples - the reaching of peace, harmony and a reorientation toward the future without denying or negating the past.

it is wonderful to see what influence the discharge of pent-up grief has on a personality, to see an individual  become radiantly and vibrantly alive, to see him turn toward normal living and good, healthy relationships. It is almost like a miracle to see his physical tone rise as the debilitating effects of grief are repaired and his emotional tone lift as he finds new hope in life.

The technique of Dianetic processing is a simple one. It consists of closing the eyes to assist in withdrawing the attention from present surroundings and returning the attention to past incidents of grief or fear or pain. These incidents are then recounted in detail with the aid of a Dianetic auditor who supervises the process, bringing to it technique and perspective. By repeating recounting of such a past experience, the tension is discharged from it and it is reduced to calm, matter-of-fact reality.

It is important to note that the recounting of pleasant experiences by the same technique enhances pleasure and renders them more brilliant in recall. That is because the mind is self-protecting. It is oriented toward survival of the individual and the triumph and pleasure over pain. Indeed, exploration and supposedly unpleasant experiences frequently discovers in them pleasure previously concealed.

The basis for the power of grief over the mind and body lies in the nature of the reactive mind. The reactive mind is a newly discovered part of our mental function. It is not a mind which thinks. It is a mind which reacts blindly and irrationally. The reactive mind is composed of the memory recordings of those things which happened during unconsciousness. And the function of the reactive mind is to energize in our behaviors actual dramatizations of those experiences during future emergency situations of a similar nature. It is to these memories of moments of unconsciousness (or engram, as we call them) that the charges of grief attach themselves, intensifying their dramatizations.

Experiences during unconsciousness of small or large degree are found recorded over the entire time track of a person's life, even in the prenatal period. Their presence at such an early period does not imply hearing or understanding by the fetus any more than a phonograph record hears or understands life. In later life, however, whenever the environment reminds one vigorously of these recordings, the reactive mind springs into action. The mind replays the recordings in the form of bodily ills, in mental processes such as anxiety and worry, and in our actual physical behaviour.

And just as the replay dramatization of worry is worry, so the dramatization of pain is pain. The dramatization of tears is tears. The type of compulsive behaviour which people find themselves engaged in when they say, "I don't know why I act like that" is usually the dramatization of material from one of these engrams.

Those sudden thrusts and twists of painful emotion which clutch the heart at a poignant scene in a movie are old grief in restimulation. Those rushes of tears and sadness which cloud the mind when familiar scenes and phrases again meet the eyes and ears are old grief in restimulation. The tears of sympathy, the tears of compassion, all are tears of grief. They are the outward signs of feelings imprisoned in grief engrams, feelings which need only to be released for mental tranquility.

The releasing of grief often requires the recounting and reduction of pain engrams which underlie the grief. The return to these engrams and their verbal recounting is handled by the same processes as the discharge of the grief itself, and the Dianetic auditor must be skilled in handling this work precisely and sympathetically. Dianetics gives him a scientific method for the deepest insight into the human mind yet discovered.
