Do you really know yourself? With this self-processing book, you can. Applying a series of light, yet powerful processes, you embark on the great adventure of self-discovery. The barriers of life are really just shadows.
Built around the Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation, Science of Survival provides the first accurate prediction of human behavior. Included on the chart are all the manifestations of an individual's survival potential graduated from highest to lowest, making this the complete book on the Tone Scale. Knowing only one or two characteristics of a person and using this chart, you can plot his or her position on the Tone Scale and thereby know the rest, obtaining an accurate index of their entire personality, conduct, and character.
True joy and happiness are valuable. If one does not survive, no joy and no happiness are obtainable. Trying to survive in a chaotic, dishonest and generally immoral society is difficult. It is in your power to point the way to a less dangerous and happier life.
What on Earth are the Voltarians up to now? Fast cars...and fast women. Start your engines! Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller is putting the pedal to the metal - and the action is about to shift into high gear. Behind the wheel of his souped-up Caddy, Heller's in a race against time - not to mention against suicide car bombers and accelerator bullets - and the fate of his top-secret mission hangs in the balance. But his greatest challenge is yet to come: a fight to the death high atop the Empire State Building.
Earth does not exist.... Or so they want you to believe. Who are they? What do they want? And who do they think they are? They are the Voltarians of Voltar - an empire 110 planets strong. They are already among us. And the invasion is about to begin...in a hundred years or so. Or is it? The truth is far more sinister.
The wait is over. Powerful forces are on the move. Entire planets hang in the balance. The moment of truth is finally at hand - and it's a real blast! In the middle of it all stands Royal Officer of the Fleet Jettero Heller, a man determined to save both Voltar and Earth from extinction. Together with an outlaw emperor and an army 100,000 strong, Heller lays siege to Palace City, which has fallen into the depraved and diabolical hands of Lombar Hisst. But the success of Heller's great adventure is far from a sure thing.
In Villainy Victorious The Death Battalion from the planet Voltar is sent by Apparatus Chief Lombar Hisst, who refuses to give up his maniacal plan to take over the throne from Emperor Cling the Lofty. Caught up in a power-crazed frenzy, Hisst holds the fate of the world and the entire Voltar Confederacy in his greedy, grasping hands. Can Fleet Combat Engineer Jettero Heller, the beautiful Countess Krak, and the dying Emperor survive?
Earthlings: Beware! Do you know who your enemies are? Your neighbor? Your boss? Your butcher? Your wife? Only the Voltarians know for sure. They've successfully infiltrated our little world - and it may never be the same. They walk among us. They work among us. And they're making themselves right at home, prepping the planet for a power play unlike any you've ever seen before.
They're here. They've arrived. And they're all eyes. The Voltarian scouting party - illegal aliens extraordinaire - on a top-secret expedition led by one Jettero Heller, Royal Officer of the Fleet. His mission: rescue the planet from pollution - and make it safe for the upcoming invasion. His problem: the planet may not want to be saved - and the invasion may just be a trick.
The Voltarian invaders are getting down and dirty...in the deadliest of games. The price: Planet Earth. Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller has heart, nerve, and a quick mind on his side. His archenemy, Soltan Gris, has cunning, ruthlessness, and a devious plan on his. But what neither of them has is money - and without that they may as well pack up and go back to Voltar. Because as every earthling knows - no pay, no play. Heller's solution is a weekend in Atlantic City, where he puts a new spin on gambling.
Who is the true master of disaster? Earthlings: Prepare for the shock of your lives! Global warming...reversed. The energy crisis...over. The greatest problem on Earth...solved. Voltarian Royal Officer of the Fleet Jettero Heller has it all figured out. And he's devised a daring and ingenious plan to make it all happen...if he lives to see the day. Saving the world is never easy, and for Heller it turns out to be a tricky - and risky - business.
For thousands of years Man has searched, pondered, and speculated about the true "meaning of life". But in Scientology, that search has culminated - for the secret has now been discovered. Based on precision Axioms (self-evident truths), these are the answers - answers you've been looking for, answers that work.
In his search to understand Man, Ron discovered that there is a single common denominator to existence: Survive! No matter the varied experiences or activities of individuals, everyone is seeking to survive and that is the only common denominator to all life. Then, examining life still more closely, he further discovered that survival subdivided into eight separate urges or drives, known as the Eight Dynamics. In brief, one seeks to survive for oneself (1), the family and the future generation (2), one's group (3), Mankind(4), all life organisms (5), the physical universe (6), as or for spirits (7) and the Supreme Being, or infinity (8).
The materials of Scientology are the greatest accumulation of knowledge ever assembled on the mind, spirit, and life. Through more than 100 books and publications, thousands more articles and essays, and over 3,000 recorded lectures, the works of L. Ron Hubbard embrace virtually every aspect of living.
