Dianetic Basics
A guide to psychology (Oval Books – 2005) says fundamentalist religion includes experimental and applied psychology working in labratories and rootling around in the real world with psychoanalysts attending lectures with behaviourists and cognitive-behavioural analysts.
Dianetics ( Gr. Dionoua, thought ), the science of the body and mind, made its introduction in the under the article, “Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science”. ¹ Note the article was published after the publication of Hubbard’s text on the subject. Because the high population of mental institutions constitutes experimental evidence that something in the way of revision of psychotherapy techniques is in order. Statistics show fifty percent of the country’s hospital beds are filled with mental cases. Doctors say seventy percent of all physical ailments show a root-cause from psychosomatic causes. L. Ron Hubbard claims Dianetic techniques regularly cure psychosomatic and all psychological troubles. Every case treated by his method of understanding was successful. Dianetics is called a science because by following readily prescribed techniques, which can be specifically stated, based on definetly stated basic postulates, a specifically described result can be obtained in every case.
The spiral technique is to gather evidence, form hypothesis, make a prediction, check validity, apply engineering attributes, form new hypothesis and make new predictions. In designing this portable computer for scenarios, the computer should be like the human mind with its synapse, neuro-transmitters and neuro-electrical-pathways connected to the body’s central nervous system. Fed by glucose (honey, maple and corn syrup) they improve their analytical mind. Science from this time said, the electronic computer should be as accurate and quick in multi-tasking problems, self-evaluating on memory chips for storage on external hard drives, which could only be changed using a password entry key. The computer should also learn from repetitious input and possess spyware detection while being connected to a visual Information Highway or World-Wide-Web; currently controlled by the US Military adapting to Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) on a hand-held device.
The description behind the experiment reminds me of Doc Savage and the way he approached the problem in his Crime College. Doc Savage, being a surgeon and engineer also questioned transorbital leukotomy and the practice of subtotal euthanasia by destruction of the neural pathways to the prefrontal lobes. What bothers the psychiatrist is “intractableness” not the insanity which bothers the patient. There is a frantic search in a controlling method for race-homicidal, race-suicidal tendencies without enacting mind-murder – creating patient zombies avoiding pain. A function of the brain is to avoid pain based on a preconditional response; it is countersurvival – avoid it. Physical pain can be modified and changed from human memory. Dianetics with Life Coaching is helping to restore many persons with mental disease or a head injury. New legislation slated for 2013, for marijuana possession in the states of Washington and Colorado, should back-up statistics and lower the crime rate by at least five percent. Other studies by Universities are tapping into the pain relief properties of illegal narcotics. How the states will tax it, is still in debate. Well, it serves you right for leaning on authority! One investigation leads to another because memory is in use leading to conclusions drawn from experience and conclusions drawn from its conclusions. The results are computed in various ways to obtain correct answers. Beliefs such as thought alienation, blocking, broadcasting, insertion and withdrawel are delusional and dealt with by hidden unconscious memories because we have minds with which to think. Make note: the velocity of light is half that of electricity – we just have to plug in. Further application of a lithium power-grid would give us warp speed (2.5 times the speed of light). The stars are up there and we can reach them.

This seems to use the strategy the creationism movement employs to make their drivel seem scientific. Write an article about actual science and bury a few intelligent design references in there as though they belong.
This article says nothing about dianetics, other than an un-sourced claim that it helps treat mental illness.
