For those of us who use the Philosophy and Technology of L Ron Hubbard on a daily basis we often tend to forget the sheer amount of information and techniques he has provided for us over the years. For most it is a way of life that we use and practice; which is as it should be. It is worth reflecting, however: “What would our lives be like without his Technology?” It is an interesting question to ask oneself and others … It is worth learning it well, so we own it, now, and in the many futures still to come!
Below is a random selection of quotes from Ron …

As people descend the tone scale, they become more and more difficult to communicate with and things with which they will agree, become more and more solid. Thus, we have friendly discourse high on the scale and war at the bottom.
