ESSAYIST

Between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, and following a greater geopolitical study of what most plagues this world, L. Ron Hubbard authored an extraordinary series of essays on the “cultural inadequacies”; of the late twentieth century. Primarily intended for Freedom magazine — where the bulk of these works, in fact, appeared — virtually every aspect of our social, political and economic existence was addressed: forms of government, questions of individual liberty, the structure of monetary systems and the preservation of human rights. That the Founder of Scientology would provide us these essays — and quite in addition to all else he provided for the advancement of Scientology through these years — is fully consistent with his view of the church as a traditional force of freedom and decency. Thus, as he tells us, if there is a “fruitful source of suppression, then it is a legitimate field for comment”; That these essays further provide us an utterly incisive grasp of just what went awry in this twentieth century is likewise consistent with the larger LRH vision. For in the final analysis, as he tells us, “Understanding is the universal solvent. It washes away everything.”
