Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
What is Dianetics?
The word Dianetics comes from the Greek dia, meaning “though” and nous, meaning “soul”, and is defined as “what the soul is doing to the body.”
Dianetics is a methodology which can help alleviate unwanted sensations and emotions, irrational fears and psychosomatic illnesses (illnesses caused or aggravated by mental stress). It is most accurately described as what the soul is doing to the body through the mind.
How did Dianetics start?
Dianetics technology was developed by renowned American author and philosopher L. Ron Hubbard.
L. Ron Hubbard began his study of the mind in 1923. Through his extensive travels, study of the many cultures around the world and scientific research, he developed and tested man’s fully workable technology of the mind.
In 1950, Mr Hubbard wrote Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, a comprehensive work detailing his discoveries and techiques and the first and only definitive manual of the mind.
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health became a nationwide bestseller almost overnight. By late summer, 1950, people across America were not only reading the book, but were also organising groups for the purpose of applying Dianetics techniques. The book has remained a bestseller ever since, becoming number one on The New York Times bestseller list almost four decades after its initial publication. It continues to appear on bestseller lists around the world.
What is the significance of the Dianetics Symbol?
The Dianetics cymbol uses the Greek letter Delta as its basic form. The stripes are green for growth and yellow for life. The four green stripes represent the four subdivisions of life which are delineated in Dianetics

What is the Mind?
The mind is basically a communication and control system between the person and their environment. It is composed of mental image pictures, which are recordings of past experiences. The individual uses their mind to pose and solve problems related to survival and to direct their efforts according to these solutions.
What is the Reactive Mind?
The reactive mind is the portion of a person’s mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis, which is not under their volitional (willing) control, and which exerts force and the power of command over their awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions.
Can Dianetics Technology help me overcome feelings of grief and loss?
Yes. The source of any negative emotion, attitude or feeling is fully revealed in Dianetics. The causes of a person’s feelings of grief or loss are buried in the person’s reactive mind, able to influence and control the person.
Dianetics technology guides a person through his or her reactive mindto locate - and permanently eradicate - the actual source of the upset. With the cause of the upset handled, the person is once more able to live a happy, healthy life.
What is a Clear?
A Clear is a person who no longer has his own reactive mind, and therefore suffers none of the ill effects his own reactive mind can cause.
