LRH isn't SOURCE

For anyone who believes LRH was creative enough to originate all the ideas to write Dianetics:The Modern Science of Mental Health. You need to read a book titled "The Mnene" by Richard Semon. It was written in 1909 then translated in the years 1912-14 to English and then published in 1919, 30 years before Dianetics: The modern Science of Mental Health. Your man L. Ron Hubbard obviously did read it. In this book is found the use of the word Engram in it's current meaning for the first time. Originated by Richard Semon. He writes...."Apart from this association of ENGRAMS created by the simultaneous action of thier engraphic stimuli, which, in keeping with the terms already introduced, we may describe as association of simultaneously created ENGRAMS, a second and equally important association may be observered, which, is also dependent on the time-relation of the action of the engraphic stimuli." This one line was taken from page 37, but the whole book deals with this subject which LRH found fascinating too. So, you can see that LRH really isn't the SOURCE of ANYTHING!!!! If you whant to know where he got "Fundementals of Thought" from, just read Alfred Korzybski's "Science and Sanity" & "Manhood of Humanity". And you can find OT material in Aleister Crowley's "The Book of Law","Book 4","Magick in Theory & Practice" & "Magick without Tears". On the other hand, I belive he did write "The History of Man", totally on his own, well maybe not without the help from LSD. I've never laughed so much reading a book scince Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers" series. I suggest every new Scientologist read that one first, then you might reconsider spending $100,000's of dollars and years of your life sitting in front of an E-Meter asking your clusters of "Body Thetans" about that mean ol' Xenu. By the way if any of you Scientologists find out where Xenu is, tell him I looking for him, he owes me some money, and I'm gonna kick his ass. I've read alot of LRH books, I had to for the HQS course, which I compleated in Sept. 1993. I've done the Purif. , Comm. Course, & some other mini courses and Book One stuff. I find his work extramley watered-down, extreamly verbose, and he never states a fact, only hypothisies based on hypotheticals, totally chaotic, without a stable datum except for a few he might have stolen from somewhere else. This "so-called" Religion is beggining to dissolve, now that the first OT's are begging to realize what scam it all was, and now Hubbard is gone, and it will never survive as the great Religions of today are. Christianity has been around for 2000 years. In 2000 years from now and I guarantee no-one will have remembered who LRH was.
