Love the introductory video. It is such an excellent graphic presentation of what the reactive mind is and how it affects you.
I've been reading the Basics Books, and I've just started re-reading Dianetics: the Original Thesis and I'm amazed how each time I real this book I get more out of it.
L. Ron Hubbard explains how the analytical mind dreams up justifications when you do something you know, down deep, is irrational. It does this because it feels it has to have an explanation for acting this way. Ever since reading that I've been noticing when I offer up justifications (even just to myself) and realize that there must be some reactive material under that, if I'm still trying to "explain" this to myself. Helps me keep a perspective, and spot when I'm just running on autopilot and should look around and make a saner decision!
A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.~~~
