Self Analysis 1951 Preface

The simplicity of this volume is matched only by its effectiveness. It is not necessary to study the introductory chapters in order to get started in Self Analysis. The reader may turn at once to page 39 and follow the simple directions there and begin immediately upon self processing.

Or the reader may turn first to page 31 and take the first test and by it learn accurately his potentials and future and so be able to measure, by taking these tests from time to time, his improvement under the processing section.

Or he may begin at the beginning and find out such interesting things as the basic goal of life, the role language plays in existence, and the basics of human behavior as well as the mechanisms of the human mind.

This volume includes an explanation of the principles involved, a set of examinations which the reader administers to himself, a tone scale which delineates the classes of human personality into which all human beings fall, and the selfprocessing section.

Simply by answering the questions contained in the various processing sections, the concerns and worries of the individual’s life resolve automatically.

A card is provided for the readers use which he rotates from question to question and which tells him what sense perception to give attention to in the memories revoked.

Self Analysis is simple and easy. Only a vast and complete understanding of the human mind such as that possessed by L. Ron Hubbard could evolve such a system. For although the reader may never be aware of it, an enormous amount of technical knowledge and experience underlies Dianetic Self Analysis.

In using Self Analysis the reader will experience things he had not thought possible. For anything as fundamental as this system, capable of producing the results it produces, could not be otherwise than powerful.

A system such as Self Analysis has never before been possible for the basic laws of human thought and behavior were not known until L. Ron Hubbard applied his brilliance and his trainir.g in the field of atomic and molecular phenomena to the field of human thought.

His discoveries and the results he has achieved with them have rocked the savants and old schools of thought to their roots, leaving Dianetics the only validated method of increasing sanity and happiness known to man.

It is not necessary for you to take anyone’s statement for it. Apply Self Analysis for a short time and feel the results for yourself. If you are truly skeptical have yourself tested thoroughly by doctors and psychometrists, use the self-processing section for half an hour a day for a month and then cause the tests to be repeated. If you have been faithful to your task, the change in you should be sufflciently marked to cause a considerable stir. Things like this have simply never happened before—increased intelligence, faster reaction time, improved physical condition, a happier outlook on life and much more likely to be liked by your friends.

After their initial antagonism—understandable because Dianetics thoroughly invalidated their beliefs and teachings— leadingauthoritiesnowadmit that Dianetics accomplishes things never before possible in the humanities.

Self Analysis and its organization is in itself a triumph, for it gives the benefits of Dianetics to everyone. The scholarly and very intelligent reader can pursue the explanations and axioms contained herein and explore the whole of Dianetics through more basic tests on the subject. But the reader who cares little for the technicalities and only wants results can benefit by following the simplest directions.

This volume and its system of Self Analysis is not intended for the severely neurotic or psychotic person but only for the reasonably stable individual, to increase his ability, efficiency, well-being and longevity.
