The Sleep Scale

Here’s another great one I got from my Scientology 0-8 book:  the SCALE OF SLEEP — from an L. Ron Hubbard lecture of 31 July 1957:
Quote:
Sleep
No Sleep
Exhaustion
Manic State
Degradation
(a harmonic of exhaustion)
Death
To me, that explains why you have so much in the way of degraded material on the Internet that people can get sucked into when [...]

How many people will play the game?

This is one of my favourite scales in the Scientology 0-8 book that I’ve read so far.  It’s called the Third Dynamic Scale.
If you don’t know what the 8 dynamics are in Scientology, this video will explain it to you:

The scale itself reads:
“Number of people who will participate in the game.
“Number of people who will [...]

What comes after the Basics?

In reading a chapter in Scientology 0-8, I came upon the Tone Plotting Scale from a June 1955 lecture by L. Ron Hubbard.  Looking this up on the Materials Guide Chart, I saw that this was from the Anatomy of the Spirit of Man Congress which LRH held at that time.   However, I quickly also [...]

Are you running on automatic?

The whole purpose of Scientology is to bring people up the tone scale such that they can really take control of their own lives.
Another one I read from Scientology 0-8 today is this — a scale of Self-Determinism.
The gist of the scale is that at Tone 40, one is totally self-determined, and running 0% on [...]

How do you make someone curious?

Here’s another one from my Scientology 0-8 book — this time a scale called the “Hide to Curiosity Scale”, excerpted from another Scientology book entitled “Creation of Human Ability“.
This one I found interesting:
I’ve long heard of what’s called the “DEI Scale” which is the scale of
DESIRE
ENFORCE
INHIBIT
…which is used any time one is first talking to [...]

Single-Valued Logic - The Will of God?

There is another pretty nifty scale and schematic in the Scientology 0-8 book, this one that goes over the Evolution of Logic (it’s on page 152).
Mr. Hubbard diagrams the 4 various kinds of logic there are — which are:
1. Single-valued logic
2. Two-valued logic
3. Three-valued logic
4. Infinity-valued logic
Single-valued logic is just neither right or wrong — [...]

Tone Scale of a Government or Company

Here’s an example from Scientology 0-8 of one of the gradient scales I mentioned, this one from 1951 entitled “TONE SCALE OF GOVERNMENTS, COMPANIES OR GROUPS”.

“Near Cooperative State
“Democratic Republic
“‘Emergency Management’
“Totalitarianism
“Tyranny
Apathy of a dying organization or nation”
– LRH
Very interesting to me to compare that against countries like the USA, or countries like Zimbabwe.  The USA [...]

Scientology and Gradient Scales

I read something else interesting in my Scientology 0-8 Book today.  This was on the subject of gradient scales and their use.
I’ve always known in Scientology that we do things on a gradient scale, and don’t believe in skipped gradients or giving someone too much of something that they’re not ready for, etc.  It’s a [...]

Dianetic Axiom 142: Self Determinism

I read another one in my Scientology 0-8 book, this one again bearing notation, from the Dianetic Axioms:
“Axiom 142:  An organism is as healthy and sane as it is self-determined.” - LRH
This one axiom alone basically explains the foundation of the whole technology of dealing with suppressive persons and why one gets ill when he [...]

Dianetic Axiom 25

Dianetic Axiom 25: “The basic purpose of reason is the calculation or estimation of effort.”  - LRH
From the book Advanced Procedure and Axioms in The Basics. It’s excerpted in the book Scientology 0-8, which I’m reading right now.
