I don’t have the material at hand but I have it on good authority that the “study tech” was presented to Hubbard by a married couple who were school teachers… name of Berner, I believe. They were both Scn students. Hubbs presented their material the very next day in a lecture that became known as the “student hat tapes” (study tapes). He failed to mention the Berners or give even the slightest credit to them. That material is not the be-all, end-all of study but IMO can be quite useful. This was not a one-off situation either; from what I’ve read from people who were there in the 50’s & 60’s, much of what Hubbs claimed as having discovered or developed himself was actually the result of other peoples work. He was very clever and a gifted organizer but also pretty twisted. IMO he eventually came to believe his own stories and delusions of grandeur were real.

Yes Jere. I refer to him as YKW (You Know Who) because I can’t stand to write or speak his name.

Wow! Thank you ever so much, Jere. That is very reassuring.

mmmm… anything dusted and hot out of the fryer. <3

How is that? I don’t understand, jere.

I think you are right!

The “freezone” is pretty much dead. A handful of people still chasing space cuties in hopes of super powers. Very sad.

Don’t worry Jere as ANYTHING written or said by Hubbard of any lasting value has been said or written by another. Only better.
