Yet the more one comes to know this man and his achievements, the more one comes to realize he was precisely the sort of person to have brought us Scientology-the only major religion to have been founded in the twentieth century. So, no, L. Ron Hubbard is not an easy man to categorize and certainly does not fit popular misconceptions of “religious founder” as an aloof and contemplative figure. Similarly, there are factory workers across Eastern Europe who know him only for his administrative discoveries children in Southeast Asia who know him only as the author of their moral code and readers in dozens of languages who know him only for his novels. There are tribesmen in Southern Africa, for example, who know nothing of Dianetics and Scientology, but they know L. Ron Hubbard, the educator. If nothing else, his life was too varied, his influence too broad. They are the generations of students now reading superlatively, owing to L. Ron Hubbard’s educational discoveries they are the millions more freed from the lure of substance abuse through L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in drug rehabilitation still more touched by his common sense moral code and many millions more again who hold his work as the spiritual cornerstone of their lives.Īlthough best known for Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard cannot be so simply categorized. In evidence of the second are the hundreds of millions whose lives have been demonstrably bettered because he lived. There are only two tests of a life well lived, L. Ron Hubbard once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his life’s work, including the more than ten thousand authored works and three thousand tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology.
