Celebrating the Anniversary of ‘Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,’ the All-Time Bestselling Book on the Human Mind

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Scientologists, neighbors and guests gathered at an outdoor auditorium at the Church of Scientology Los Angeles Saturday, May 11. They filled Scientology Churches up and down L. Ron Hubbard Way in East Hollywood for a dinner and awards ceremony to honor top-producing Dianetics auditors and disseminators, celebrate the 74th anniversary of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, and launch the book's diamond anniversary year.

The word Dianetics comes from the Greek dia, meaning "through" and nous, meaning "soul," and is defined as "what the soul is doing to the body." Dianetics is a methodology that can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears, and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress).

Those attending spanned a wide spectrum of interests and experience, from those new to Dianetics, to local Scientologists, and those in Los Angeles to study Dianetics and Scientology from across the country and beyond. There were those currently experiencing the miracles of Dianetics, those studying Dianetics, and those practicing Dianetics. But all were moved by the testimonials shared by those using Dianetics to help themselves and others overcome their limitations and achieve their full potential.

"Dianetics is an adventure," wrote L. Ron Hubbard in his introduction to the book. "It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads." And although it has firmly established itself as the most widely read and influential book ever written about the mind, Dianetics is as revolutionary to those discovering it today as it was in May 1950, when 50,000 copies of the book rolled off the presses, selling out immediately and propelling the book onto the New York Times best-seller list where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks.

Now available in 50 languages, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health is accessible to the wide range of cultures and ethnicities living in Los Angeles and to over 90 percent of the world's population.

L. Ron Hubbard always intended Dianetics for use, and in 2009, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center and ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, made it possible for anyone to learn and use the technology with the release of How to Use Dianetics: 32 films in 17 languages containing 4 1/2 hours of visual instruction in Dianetics principles and procedures. The book and these films form the basis of the new Hubbard Dianetics Seminar, available at any Scientology Mission or Church in the world. And with the use of the book and these films, within hours, anyone can begin their own adventure and help another do so too.

With the launch of the Scientology Network, the reach of Dianetics has skyrocketed, with Dianetics programming reaching 240 countries and territories in 17 languages, broadcast on Direct TV channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T U-verse, and streaming at Scientology.tv, through mobile apps, Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Celebrating the 74th Anniversary of L. Ron Hubbard’s ‘Dianetics’: The Exciting Adventure Continues

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Untold millions have benefited from L. Ron Hubbard's perennially best-selling "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" since it was first published on May 9, 1950. As the book's diamond jubilee year begins, "Dianetics" is still startling and new to anyone reading and using it for the first time. And the reason is simple. As Mr. Hubbard stated at the beginning of the book, "Dianetics is an adventure. It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads." And with the Dianetics Seminar available at Scientology Churches and Missions the world over, it is easier than ever before to experience that adventure.

Amy, who was looking for something that could "heal the soul," responded to the Scientology Super Bowl ad suggesting she should satisfy her curiosity by simply walking into a Church of Scientology. She took part in a Dianetics seminar, where people new to the subject partner with another person to learn the basics of Dianetics and use it with each other.

"I was nervous at first," she says. "But I followed the instructions, and that made me feel more comfortable and confident." She felt "really in tune" with the woman she was helping.

Then, when it was her turn, Amy says, "I was able to address an incident that happened when I was 17 years old. Instead of avoiding it, I felt all the emotions and pain as if it were happening now. I expressed emotions in session that I never allowed myself to feel, and I realized that this really works. And now that incident has been erased. I am no longer afraid to talk about it." And the incident no longer has any hold over her.

For Bikash, before he began the Dianetics Seminar he felt as though he was "at the end of the line. I sometimes hated myself. I had a lot of problems that I just didn't know how to deal with."

This took a toll on his marriage. "I couldn't explain how I felt," he says, describing his relationship with his wife as "a real roller coaster."

"The Dianetics Seminar made me more effective in controlling my emotions and solving the issues I faced," he says.

Before using Dianetics, the way he would deal with a situation "used to make me feel just horrible," he says. "But now, I can look at that same situation, and while it hasn't changed, how I view it has changed." And bottom line, "I am so much happier."

Warren had no idea he still had grief about his grandmother. "I was honestly surprised that I cried, but it was a great feeling to release my emotions on that," he says. "I felt a great weight lift off me." He can now talk about his grandmother "without experiencing the pain of her loss."

But Warren also says it was gratifying to help guide the man he was partnered with, using Dianetics procedure, "so he could feel relief."

Before her Dianetics Seminar, Cristina used to think "everything bad that happened was my fault." Now she knows that's not true "and I don't feel guilty anymore."

The publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health on May 9, 1950, unleashed "a full-scale explosion," as newspapers of the day described it.

When Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health rolled off the presses 74 years ago, the book soared onto the New York Times bestseller list, where it remained for 26 consecutive weeks. Publishers Weekly described Dianetics as "perhaps the best-selling non-Christian book of all time in the West" and awarded it the prestigious Century Award for appearing more than 100 weeks on its bestseller list. It is unquestionably the most popular book ever published on the human mind.

Dianetics now spans every culture, across every continent, in more than 50 languages.

The Dianetics Seminar is based on the book and a set of 32 films called How to Use Dianetics. Available in 17 languages, the films provide more than four hours of visual instruction in Dianetics principles and procedures. The films and the book can be purchased at any Scientology Church of Mission, most bookstores, and through Dianetics.org.

David Pomeranz Discusses the Modern Science of Mental Health at Los Angeles Concert

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- At a concert at the Church of Scientology of the Valley community auditorium, legendary pop singer/songwriter Pomeranz introduced "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" to the Filipino community in Los Angeles, just as he did nearly 20 years ago in Manila.

Multiplatinum recording artist David Pomeranz performed at a private charity concert for Filipino-Americans at the Church of Scientology of the Valley community auditorium on Saturday, benefiting the Victory Life Foundation. The nearly two-hour set of many of his most beloved songs included "Got to Believe in Magic," "Born for You," and "King and Queen of Hearts."

From the stage, between performing his hit songs, Pomeranz shared his experience with "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" and how he used it to alleviate the anxiety and depression that typically come with a lifelong career in the music industry.

"I am so happy that you are here," he said. "And if you don't mind, I'm going to tell you from my heart that this book, 'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,' is something I've wanted to share with my L.A. Filipino friends for some time."

"The world pounds at you, right? Pound, pound, pound. Anxiety, depression everywhere - up down, up down. We are all experiencing it," he said. "'Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health' handles that."

Nearly 20 years ago, in April 2004, Pomeranz introduced Dianetics to the Philippines on a national scale with a tour that included personal appearances throughout metro Manila and Baguio, and interviews on national network television talk shows and regional radio. Dianetics became a national best-seller and a new Hubbard Dianetics Center was established in Manila, with Pomeranz performing at the grand opening.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, lays out the discovery of the "reactive mind" - that part of the mind that is the source of unwanted emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused by the mind). And it provides techniques anyone can learn and use to become free of its debilitating effects.

"Because of the impact of David's 2004 Philippines tour, many people became interested in addressing their mental health issues in this new and far more effective way," says Robert Anderson, president of the Dianetics Center in Manila.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" is the best-selling book ever published on the human mind. Translated into 50 languages, including Tagalog, more than 22 million copies have been sold worldwide.

For more information on Dianetics, contact the nearest Scientology Church or Mission or visit the Dianetics website. Two films on the subject are also available on the Scientology Network: What is Dianetics? and The Dianetics of Grief.

Since its dedication in March 2017 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Church of Scientology of the Valley has become a meeting ground of cooperative effort to uplift people of all walks of life, backgrounds and denominations.

The Church of Scientology of the Valley is spotlighted in an episode of Destination Scientology and David Pomeranz is featured in the original series Meet a Scientologist on the Scientology Network, available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and streaming at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Celebrate ‘Dianetics’ Because This is a Book That Can Change Your Life

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- May 9, 1950, was the day L. Ron Hubbard's "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" burst onto the scene. Its meteoric ascent to the top of international bestseller lists was fueled by its results. The date of its publication is celebrated by Scientology Churches, Missions and groups throughout the world and by countless more who have simply picked up and read the book and have found hope and relief through its use.

Available in 50 languages "Dianetics" reveals the source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurities, psychosomatic illnesses, stress, anxiety and depression, and contains a technology anyone can use right at home to address these. And the need for effectively overcoming these issues is indisputable.

The World Health Organization points out that more than 1 in 100 deaths internationally are suicides. Depression and anxiety increased more than 25 percent in the first year of the pandemic.

With over 22 million copies in print, "Dianetics" is the most widely read and influential book ever written about the human mind.

The book reveals:

* Why people give up on their dreams

* Why people hurt the ones they love

* Why some are prone to illness

* The real cause of depression

* The anatomy and cure for stress

* How to conquer fears

* How to improve your mental health

* How to reach your full potential

But the value of any subject lies in its results:

"After my father died, I was devastated and at 20 years old I basically lost the will to live," says one person who read and used 'Dianetics.' "Then 10 years after suffering the pain of my loss I met someone who listened to how upset I was and took me to the Dianetics Foundation." She describes the result of the Dianetics session she received. "The pain got less and less until it was gone. I was so relieved, and I felt some life coming back to me for the first time in 10 years. It's been 36 years now and I continue to have a very good life."

"I was feeling very depressed," says Luis. "I had problems at work. I couldn't get those problems out of my head. I couldn't handle it anymore. I started reading 'Dianetics.'" On using it he says, "I remember one of the sessions very vividly. And what I went through that session totally changed my life. I was in control of my mind. I could handle my problems, my work.... I'm no longer afraid."

Another man describes life before using "Dianetics." "I couldn't sleep. I couldn't do anything by myself. I felt tired all the time. I would fall apart." A friend introduced him to "Dianetics." He had a session and these feelings started gradually disappearing. "And this wave of relief I've never felt before. And that one session literally got rid of the thing that was preventing me from being happy in life."

Publishers Weekly has described "Dianetics" as "perhaps the bestselling non-Christian book of all time in the West" and awarded it the prestigious Century Award for appearing more than 100 weeks on its bestseller list.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" is available in most bookstores. The Dianetics Seminar, released in 2009 by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, is an easy way to begin the adventure. The Dianetics Seminar is available in Scientology Churches, Missions and groups everywhere. To learn more, watch "What is Dianetics?" by L. Ron Hubbard on the Scientology Network.

"You are beginning an adventure," wrote L. Ron Hubbard in the opening pages of the book. "Treat it as an adventure. And may you never be the same again."

Scientology Churches Around the World Celebrate the Anniversary of Dianetics Today

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Published May 9, 1950, "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" burst onto the scene, creating an international phenomenon that continues to this day. In Scientology Churches, Missions and groups on six continents, May 9 has a very special meaning. It marks the day that the first edition of "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" rolled off the press. And it was only two years later that L. Ron Hubbard founded Scientology, the world's youngest major religion.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" created a whirlwind of excitement. It soon climbed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list and remained there for 26 consecutive weeks.

Its effectiveness inspired immediate and dramatic response. Those reading the book connected with each other, teaming up to use this new technology. With 750 Dianetics groups cropping up in the United States, and many more across the English-speaking world, a new movement had begun.

Scientology Churches and Missions and Dianetics groups deliver Dianetics "auditing" - a term that comes from the Latin "to listen."

And with the book now in 50 languages, making the technology available to more than 90 percent of the world's population, Mr. David Miscavige, ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion, released a series of films, "How to Use Dianetics," along with a new Dianetics Seminar. These make it easy for anyone to put Dianetics to use in their life.

Dianetics helps people free themselves from nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurities and psychosomatic illnesses, with results like these:

Grant experienced panic attacks so severe that the left side of his face would go numb, making him feel almost paralyzed. He received a Dianetics session and by the time it was over, "the panic was gone," he says, "and I have never experienced a panic attack since."

When her son was born prematurely with respiratory distress syndrome from immature lung development, Cindy found herself unable to cope. After she and her husband brought their son back from the hospital, Cindy would wake up every time it got quiet, terrified her child had stopped breathing. "I was flooded with irrational waves of guilt, haunted by the question, why did it happen to me?"

Dianetics helped her through her emotional suffering. "I was able to separate out the pain from the memory and remove its negative influence over me and overcome these unfounded fears. I finally slept through the night for the first time since the delivery." And she was able to enjoy every moment with her son. "Rather than worry, I found peace."

Page's dad paid a visit to the doctor because he wasn't feeling right and came home with the news that he had terminal cancer. The shock of his death soon after was devastating to her. "I am so grateful for the Dianetics counseling I received when he died," she says. "I still miss him and love him, but afterward, the unbearable sense of loss was gone."

And the rewards of helping another using Dianetics is every bit as worthwhile. "I have salvaged marriages and helped people overcome drug addiction," says Melissa. "Auditing others gets you in tune with people. When you make one person happy it causes a ripple effect."

The Church of Scientology invites everyone to experience what L. Ron Hubbard made available on May 9, 1950, with the release of "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health," where he wrote, "You are beginning an adventure. Treat it as an adventure. And may you never be the same again."

Visit a Scientology Church or Mission to enroll on the Dianetics seminar.

"Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" may be ordered from a Church of Scientology, the book's publisher Bridge Publications, through Amazon.com and other bookstores.

Or for more information, visit the Scientology network and watch the films "What is Dianetics?" Dianetics: An Introduction and "The Dianetics of Grief." The Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and streams at Scientology.tv, on mobile apps and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.
