This new book of Ron's, SCIENTOLOGY: The Fundamentals of Thought, does more of what books don't do than any book this or any reviewer has before seen. It comprises an action defin- ition of life. Organized so that a complete translation of all of it will de- liver without interruption or destructive change the basics of Scientology into non-English tongues, this book has the quality of a true classic: elementary and sharply clear. It has alsoa quality that is of great value to the Scientologist, whether sea- soned veteran or tyro - it takes him, regardless of the pitfalls and collapse-points of past education, straight through the es- sential data for the exact understanding of the elements of life. In other words, the book is good teaching and good processing. Another thing that is interesting about what this book does is that it lights up and makes more modern all the past light-year stones of Scientology literature suchas BookOne, 8-80, 8-8008, Science of Survival, Dianetics, 1955! The reason for this is of course the fact that in the past six years Ron and Scientologists have accomplished a lot of Scientology and therefore have made the subject talk more and more clearly, SCIENTOLOGY: The Fundamentals of Thought is available now in the Autographed Edition for $2.50. There are no dis- counts on this special autographed edition, Order now from SCIENTOLOGY, Box 242, Silver Spring, Md. A NEW BOOK FOR NEW PEOPLE SUMMARY OF SCIENTOLOGY by Jean F, Horner, D.D., D.Scn. An excellent text, designed by the author to introduce the English-speaking reader to the scope and intention of the subject of Scientology. Written in South Africa and published in England by the HASI. 96 pages. $1.00 (Member's price) From London and Silver Springll A.C.C. The first A.C.C, in well over a year is about to start in Washington on October 15th. 1 The A.C.C, (Advanced Clinical Course) is Ron's own. It has no connection whatever with any organization - not even the Acad-~ emy or the HASI, It is personally conducted, taught, lectured, coached and supervised by L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics and Scientology. This course requires a seasoned veteran at the start andits finished productisthe key personnel of Scientology, With the spectacularly successful Games Congress just com- pleted Ron sailed on the SS Queen Elizabeth. to get ten days of good writing time and to get ready for the Congress to be given on October Ist in London. He was also planning his new course, The Course is something completely new from beginning to end. it includes: (1.) a three-week intensive for every student (with certain surprises as to processes and how an intensive is run), (2. )atwo-week "High School'' Indoctrination Course. It's called “high school" because it's not the same as the famous Academy Indoctrination course. It is also completely new and dynamite. (3.) one week instruction on procedure, processes and theory. Eligible for entrance to this course are recognized profes- sional Scientologists having the certificate of H,A,A. or B.Scn. Tuition: $800. 00. If you want to make a last-minute decision on the A.C.C., senda wire to L, Ron Hubbard in Washington, D,C, The A.C,C, registration address is 1812 19thStreet, N. W., Washington, DC. H.G.C. CURIOUS ABOUT YOURSELF? If you have ever had any idea at all that you would maybe like totry out some of this processing youhear about or if you've ever been curious about what your native abilities and what the real problems before you are like, give yourself a break - get in touch with the director, Julia Lewis, and arrange for your own intensive, The end object of Scientology is not the making into nothing of all of existence or the freeing of the individual of any and all traps everywhere. The goal of Scientology is the making of the individual capable of living a better life in his own estimation and with his fellows and the playing of abetter game, And12 that's a direct quote. The things that are being done andthe up-curves inlivingness that are being accomplishedand the miracles that are being pas- sed every day at the HGC in Washington and the HASI Clinic in Londonare not small and merely interesting changes - they are the opening of new life and the command of new game for the in- dividual and for his fellows if he also so chooses, There is a game in progress right now, it is called life. It can be a tough game and it can be an interesting game. The thing that should impress you and me the most however is the fact that we are engaged in it right now - be it by player or be it by pawn, All they've got at the HGC is the skill, the experience, the knowhow, and the great intentions of true Scientology toward YOU. THEY'RE winning - their preclears are winning - the playing of a better game. NOTE: Don't wait until you have "enough problems" to get an intensive. The HGC will not take away your problems, we pro- mise you. They will, however, show you some problems that you do have right now where you read this that you are not aware of even vaguely, They will show you problems of such magnitude that you would be willing to solve a problem, Things get better when you know about life. Life gets bigger. And you get more you. It's all yours. Apply to: in London Dr. Julia M. Lewis Dr. Ann Walker H.G.C, #1 Brunswick House 231515th St., N.
