The Discoveries Of Dianetics
http://www.rehabilitatenz.co.nz/pages/discoveries-of-dianetics.html

One of the basic discoveries of Dianetics was that unconsciousness and all the
pain
attendant upon it was stored in a part of the mind and that this pain and
unconsciousness
accumulated until it caused the organism to begin to die
Another discovery of Dianetics was that this pain could be nullified or erased
with a return to full consciousness and a rehabilitation toward survival.
In other words, with Dianetics, it became possible to cancel out the accumulated
unconsciousness and pain of the years and restore the health and vitality of an
organism.
Accumulated physical pain and loss brings about a reduction of consciousness, a
reduction of
physical health and a reduction of the will to live to a point where the
organism actively, if often
slyly,seeks death.
Erase or nullify the physical pain, the losses of a lifetime, and vitality
returns.The vitality of
living, of seeking higher levels of survival, is life itself
The human body was found to be extremely capable of repairing itself when the
stored
memories of pain were cancelled. Further it was discovered that so long as the
stored pain
remained, the doctoring of what are called psychosomatic ills, such as
arthritis, could not
result in anything permanent.
Psychotherapy, not knowing about pain storage and its effects discovered long
ago that one could rid a patient of one illness only to have another pop up -and
psychotherapy became a defeatist school because it could do nothing permanent
for the abberrated or the ill even when it could do a little something to
relieve it. Hence, all efforts to make men vital and well became suspect because
the reason they were inefficient and ill had not been discovered and proven.
With Dianetics it became possible to eradicate aberration and illness because it
became
possible to nullify or eradicate the pain from the pain-storage banks of the
body without
applying further pain as in surgery
Consciousness then depends upon the absence or the nullification or eradication
of memories
of physical pain, for unconsciousness is a part of that pain- one of its
symptoms
Arthritis of the knee, for instance, is the accumulation of all knee injuries in
the past.
The Body confuses time and environment with the time and environment where the
knee was
actually injured and so keeps the pain there.
The fluids of the body avoid the pain area, hence a deposit which is called
arthritis
The proof of this is that when the knee injuries of the past are located and
discharged, the
arthritis ceases, no other injury takes its place and the person is finished
with arthritis of the
knee. And this happens ten cases out of ten-except in those cases where age and
physical
deterioration are so well advanced toward death that the point of no return is
passed
Take a bad heart. The person has pain in his heart. He can take medicine or
voodoo or
another diet and still have a bad heart. Find and eradicate or nullify an actual
physical injury
to the heart and the heart ceases to hurt and gets well. Nothing is easier to
prove than these
tenets. A good Dianetic Auditor can take a broken-down, sorrow-drenched lady of
thirty-eight and knock out her past periods of physical and mental pain and have
on his hands
somebody who appears to be twenty-five-and a bright, cheerful twenty-five at
that
Sure it's incredible. But so is an A-bomb, a few pennyweights of plutonium,
which
can blow a city off the chart. Once you know the basic tenets of life and how it
acts as
energy, life can be put back into the ill, the devitalised, and the would-be
suicide.
And more important than treating the very ill mentally or physically, one can
interrupt the
downward spiral in a man who is still alert and well so that he will not
thereafter become so
ill. And one can take the so-called "normal" person and send his state of being
up to levels
of brilliance and success not possible before
Restore an individual's full consciousness and you restore his full life
potential.
And it can now be done .
