"I am more and more of the opinion (speaking of processing the
pro-clear) that the
greatest benefit comes from one person sitting with another to
hear him talk and try to
encourage him to get past his complexes, habits of reaction,
mental or physical, and to
assist back to sanity. One low self seems to learn from another.
and a well one seems to
exert a fine influence in helping a sickish one get straightened
out on sick points which can
be uncovered. For this reason, any kind of processing, no matter
how silly it May Sound, may
get frequently good results. Self-development exercises such as I
lay out in our new book
(Growing Into Light") should help the individual in due time,
even without an auditor. Huna
has so much to offer of reasonable information and theory as well
as practicality in the job
of living here or hereafter, that I believe it will be here a
long time."--Max Freedom Long,

or stupid, or whether
anybody else agreed with me; but I found Scientology to be
confusing, non-scientific, and less
capable Of producing results than the techniques of 1952 and
1953. Finally they made a
religion out of it, and I am a scientist. A religion may help a
lot of people a little; I
prefer to help a few people a lot. Such is my goal. So, I find
some agreement in your paper.

"I am primarily a nutritionist, but use dianetics when indicated,
and when the patient
wants it and is ready for it. On this basis I have obtained
wonderful results. I do not
