L. Ron Hubbard

I am studying ancient civilizations, trying to find what happened to them, finding out why they went into a decline, why they died.

When a culture has fallen totally away from spiritual pursuits into materialism, one must begin by demonstrating they are each a soul, not a material animal.

Well I don't know that I'm okay any more than anyone else is okay, I lead a happy life and a very full one - I have a happy marriage and my kids are all cheerful, and no one is finding fault with me, personally.

One tends to overlook the fact that all during the 30's and actually during the late 40's I was a highly successful writer and a great many properties accumulated during that period of time.

Scientology is the study of knowingness. It increases one's knowingness, but if a man were totally aware of what was going on around him, he would find it relatively simple to handle any outnesses in that.

I am a writer of the textbooks of Scientology.

A man is as alive as he can communicate.

If there is an authoritarian structure at St. Hill it has been brought into being by the government itself. St. Hill is trying to correct itself. It doesn't know what it's trying to correct because nobody has told it what to correct.

A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in Scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.

Oh yes, as a matter of fact it is quite interesting that exercises can be conducted which demonstrate conclusively that there are memories which exist prior to this life.

A suppressing person isn't critical. A suppressing person is a person who denies the rights of others.

The mind when it has an old experience will add that data into its current experience, and it keeps coming up with wrong answers.

One of the ways you learn about life is to associate with people.

You don't have a soul; you are your own soul. In other words, you are not this book, your social security card, your body, or your mind. You are you.

Let me clarify this very definitely. This is not an authoritarian organization.

Nothing in Scientology is true for you unless you have observed it and it is true according to your observation.

I have seen life from the top down and the bottom up. I know how it looks both ways. And I know there is wisdom and that there is hope.

There were very, very large sums of money that I made when I was very young - 15 million published works and a great many successful movies don't make nothin'.

Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.
