As the editor of Thrilling Adventures magazine, one of the more than 30 magazines he headlined, wrote in October 1934, “L. Ron Hubbard needs no introduction. From the letters you send in, his yarns are among the most popular we have published. Several of you have wondered, too, how he gets the splendid color which always characterizes his stories of the faraway places. The answer is: He’s been there, brothers. He’s been and seen and done. And plenty of all three.”
While continuing to write for his New York editors as well as screenplays for Hollywood such as Secret of Treasure Island, he never stopped his vital researches into man.
L. Ron Hubbard was searching for a principle which would lead to the unification of knowledge and explain the meaning of existence – something other philosophers had set out to find in the past with varying degrees of success. In fact, many Western philosophers had given up on the idea that different peoples held anything in common and were no longer even asking questions about the life force or the essence of life. Man had become just another animal, mere flesh and bones.
