Perhaps you've heard the term before, "Dianetics."What it is?This doctrine of the metaphysical relationship between the mind and the body, created by American science fiction writer Lafayette Ronald Hubbard.
In recent decades, the theory in Russia is not so popular.And in Soviet times it professed many famous statesmen and bright scientific minds.But first things first.
Dianetics - what is it?
still need to begin to consider this doctrine to the theory proposed by Ronald Hubbard.Referring to his book "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health."It was written in three months and was released in 1950.
So, on conviction of the founder of Dianetics - the science of how to think and live right.Using this methodology and techniques, you can achieve healing of many physical ailments and painful burden of the past mistakes and also start to think positively.
Dianetics separates the human mind into three conditional parts: the mind (analytical mind), the subconscious (reactive mind) and so-called somatic mind.The aim of the practice is becoming followers of Hubbard's deliverance of man from the consequences of the work of the reactive mind, which affects the behavior, life and human health.The impact is as follows: all the experiences recorded in the subconscious, and then in a similar situation is experienced again.There is a so-called engram.For example, a man toothache, and at a time when it is suffering from pain in his house running and noisy children.Time passes, and when the children rasshumyatsya again, this man could again teeth ache for no reason, or even the recently healed perfectly healthy.
On assurances Hubbard Dianetics - The Modern Science of Mental Health, which means that it can help a person achieve harmony and psychological comfort.In addition, following the canons and keeping some guidance proposed by the founder of the theory, we can supposedly live forever.
Dianetics about survival
Ronald Hubbard proposed scale, the beginning of which was nevyzhivanie and end - eternal life.Man strives for immortality and overcome on its way a huge number of levels, and the existence of the so-called four speakers:
- first - the desire to survive for the sake of himself;
- second - for the sake of the survival of their families and loved ones;
- third - life for a group of people;
- fourth - the existence of the individual for the benefit of all mankind.
Survive man helps his mind.Just getting rid of the adverse effects of engrams, you can move to a higher standard of living.And Dianetics involves a certain procedure, whose purpose - to save people from engrams.
Working with engrams
Hubbard proposed auditing process - active listening, how it is Dianetics.What it is?The procedure is as follows.One person who has certain vital problems that are treated in Dianetics as the negative impact of engrams, recounts his difficulties to another person, the auditor.To listen to the thoughts of the narrator directs an awareness of pain they experienced.He asks questions and uses special techniques of Dianetics to help get rid of the impact of engrams.
Thus, gradually the life of a person leaving the effect of all engrams.But this is the ideal scenario.No one, even the most Hubbard, still died in 1986, to achieve to get rid of the reactive mind, and along with it, and immortality, failed.
However, many scientists, analyzing the theory of Dianetics noticed that create such a doctrine could only person like Hubbard.Why is that?
History of Dianetics
As mentioned above, the book "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" was written in a very short period of time.Hubbard and his followers explain this insight, but critics Dianetics pay attention to the very different moments.
Erich Fromm drew a parallel between Hubbard's auditing and popular in their time cleaning the chakras and holotropic breathing.Scientific basis for these methods is not, or rather, some of them need any justification is simply ignored, while others take as a basis the teachings of the recognized masters of psychology.So he entered and Hubbard.
And here Freud?
his Dianetics, Hubbard tried to link psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud, modifying the teachings of the famous physician and the method of free association, as well as the procedure for the psychoanalytic session.Fromm says that if Dianetics was a restatement of the teachings of Freud, it would not render any negative influence on the minds of ordinary people, its followers.But psychoanalytic terms Hubbard misinterpreted as he perverted understanding of the value of the human person.
Dianetics - the science of the mind?Maybe.But if we allow it, as well as the scientific basis of the theory, we thereby recognize that the person does not have the ability to build their lives by committing acts and logical choice, we recognize that man has no personality.Hubbard believed that the program on the individual actions can, eliminating him from engrams.That is, by clicking on the desired leverage, you can get from a man certain actions.
Psychoanalysis aims to help the individual, identify the contents of her psyche which remains unconscious and slows down development, while remaining in the shadows.Ronald Hubbard Dianetics deprives a person of ability to think and understand, it teaches reject engrams and "to press on the levers."Dianetics thereby killing the very identity of the person.
Some biographical facts
Hubbard, Hubbard was a writer.First, he created fantastic stories, which were published in several American magazines and then, according to his followers, he has collaborated with Hollywood, and even wrote a few scripts for a movie company Columbia Pictures.But that's his name in the credits for some reason did not appear ...
During the Second World War, Hubbard commanded the ship, but because he organized the pursuit of, apparently, not existing submarine, and then firing the Mexican islandshe was removed from his command and put ashore.
After the war, Hubbard went to the hospital with war wounds.Any documents and extracts from medical affairs at the moment there is no way, however, it was not before.Presumably, Ronald Hubbard self-inflicted wound to leave the fleet and faster to get to dry land.
In the hospital, he, according to his statements, has developed a special technique that could help heal the terminally ill patients.After the war, he created became widely known works, and on the covers of his books bore the "L. Ron Hubbard: Dianetics."
Dianetics and Scientology
These teachings are interrelated.However, if Dianetics was originally marketed as a science writer, then immediately Scientology was built by him in the category of religion.Scientology and Dianetics are using very similar terms, but some differences in content is still there.So
and Dianetics and Scientology, the sole purpose of proclaiming the survival of man.Both exercises were separated on an analytical mind and the reactive and auditing postulated as the primary way to get rid of all problems and diseases.However, Scientology proclaims the human good by default, and its own identity - the eternal and indestructible foundation of life, calling it a new word "thetan".
Scientology has a direct relationship to the company, "Cleansing", which was also the founder of R. Hubbard.Dianetics, by the way, by the time (the 60s of the last century) has been criticized by the American scientific community, which is quite possible, and was the impetus for the emergence of new concepts developed by Hubbard.Its beginnings like getting good: the company "Purification" has been developed for the rehabilitation of drug addicts and ex-offenders.However, these good intentions were again commercial organizations - "Narconon" and "Criminon".
Criticism Ronald Hubbard's teachings
initially been criticized Dianetics.Reviews of the scientific community of America were reduced to one: Hubbard is not mandatory for psychoanalysts authorization to conduct his own medical practice.The postulates of his theory have not received adequate theoretical foundation and were considered unscientific.
In the 50s, Hubbard gave an interview for the "New York Times", in which he stated that they had conducted a study phenomenal - a psychometric test, in which participated more than 80 people with various pathologies.According to Hubbard, the majority of them showed improvement after they passed under the care of Dianetics and his patients get rid of asthma, ulcerative colitis, arthritis, bipolar disorder and severe homosexuality.Confirmation of this was found.
Following a scientific Dianetics and Scientology has been criticized.At first it was about the definition of it as a religion.Scientology takes a theory as to Christianity, and from philosophy, psychology and the humanities.In fact, neither one of these directions knowledge it does not belong.
Later, scientists and the media, it was suggested that Scientology - a commercial organization, with which Hubbard hiding from persecution on charges of illegally provide them with medical services.It thus served him some façade, allowing to remain in the status of a leader and the founder of the doctrine, as well as earn money.
Scientology and Dianetics were not only criticized in his time, but also subjected to real harassment by law.
Stories adherents fatal
Such cases are few.The most famous - the death of Lisa McPherson.She soon came to Scientology.She was already adept when it happened an accident, an accident, after which Lisa got to the hospital.Adherents of faith take the girl to the current center of Dianetics and Scientology, to avoid interference in the fate of her doctors and therapists.After two and a half weeks Lisa died.
Another woman, Susan Meister, shot on board a ship owned by the Church of Scientology.More precisely, the version of suicide offered themselves followers of Hubbard, but in fact it was established that killed Susan.Perhaps her death was part of a Scientology rite.
two men, Patrick Vic and Richard Collins, jumped out of the window.However, the reasons for each of them are diametrically opposed: Patrick did not have enough money to pay for another theoretical course of Dianetics, and Richard wanted to get out of the Scientology sect, but they would not let go.He regularly came to threatening letters from former comrades in the church, and driven to extreme despair man found no other way out for themselves.
associated with Scientology and some other cases of suicides committed by former members of the organization.As a rule, the reason became bitter disappointment in religion and personality of the teacher - Ronald Hubbard.
In the words of Hubbard, his teachings should heal, but, as we see, the cause of the crash was human destinies became Dianetics.Responses about it, of course, were quite unflattering.However, as was the case in the United States.How belonged to Hubbard's teachings on the other side of the world?
Dianetics and Scientology in the USSR in the USSR
Ronald Hubbard Dianetics came in the '70s of the last century.Before she arrived in our country it has once been criticized in the United States, and was quite well known here.
Hubbard's teachings admired by many men of science of the time, and students of educational institutions most inspired professors taught courses.Scientology was perceived as "the science of science", its categories and postulates deep study and tried to reinterpret and apply in practice.
The Russian centers of Dianetics and Scientology existed in the 90s.Later, the former Soviet Union and the doctrine of Ronald Hubbard was prohibited as contrary to the canons of scientific and bearing failure.However, some of the postulates of Dianetics have been borrowed by the founders of the destructive sect "Sinton".
conclusions about Dianetics
So, the theory of Ronald Hubbard was considered destructive, non-scientific quackery and practically.However, Scientology and now there, and her church reserves all copyrights to Hubbard's Dianetics.Many people still consider themselves to be adherents of Scientology, among them there are even very well-known media personalities: John Travolta, Tom Cruise and ex-wife Priscilla Presley, Elvis.
This is strange, incomprehensible and largely absurd theory of Ronald Hubbard - Dianetics.What is it really?Another chapter in the life of all humanity, not exactly rosy and nice, but flip that is still possible.
