"The Road to Truth" Explains man's attempts to find truth and the traps and half- truths that he has fallen into on the way. Mr. Hubbard tells why this has occurred and how the road to truth can be traveled. "Scientology and Effective Knowledge" Describes why man has remained for so long at a loss for workable answers to life. Explains the relationship of observation to knowledge and reveals the key to truly knowing and understanding a subject. "The Deterioration of Liberty" Discusses three subjects -- freedom, liberty, justice -- important to man's survival. Analyzes how man loses his freedom and outlines the actions one can take to regain it, for himself and his fellows. "Power of Choice and Self-determinism" Man's ability to determine the course of his life depends on his ability to exercise power of choice. L. Ron Hubbard describes how one can increase the power of decision for himself and for others. "Scientology and Ability" Tells how a person becomes unable to cause things in his environment and explains workable methods which can be used to restore a person's ability and success in life. "The Hope of Man" Various men in history brought forth the idea that there was hope of improvement, but L. Ron Hubbard's discoveries in Dianetics and Scientology have made that hope a reality. Explains how Scientology has become man's one true hope for freedom. "The Dynamics" Data on the eight dynamics is covered here, including how man creates on them, what happens when a person gets stuck in just one dynamic, and how wars relate to the third dynamic. "Money" Explains what money really is and how a money system operates. Provides an understanding of how one can gain greater control over his own income and finances. "Formulas for Success -- The Five Conditions" Natural laws govern the conditions of life, with exact steps to take in handling each of these conditions. Invaluable technology to help one succeed in *any* endeavor. "Health and Certainty" Explains how one's health is related to his certainty or lack of it, how false certainties can be forced on him. Shows the way to achieve certainty and improve one's condition in life. "Operation Manual for the Mind" Difficulties of trying to get along in life without knowing how the mind works are explored. Describes why man existed for thousands of years without any understanding of how his mind was supposed to operate, and how this problem has been solved in Scientology. "Miracles" Defines what a miracle is and sheds light on why they are so apparently lacking in the world today. Miracles are usually thought of as only having happened centuries ago in some distant place but this is not the case. "The Road to Perfection -- The Goodness of Man" Unlike earlier practices that sought to "improve" man because he was "bad," Scientology assumes that man has good qualities that simply need to be increased. Shows how workable this assumption really is, and how one can begin to use his mind, talents and abilities to the fullest. "The Dynamic Principles of Existence" Some people seem more interested and involved in life than others, and generally have more fulfilling lives as a result. Discusses the importance of being a knowing part of and participant in any and all of the functions of life. "Man: Good or Evil?" Gives usable definitions of *good* and *evil*, and powerfully illustrates what man's basic nature really is. Man has struggled with the concepts of good and evil throughout his history This lecture greatly illuminates them. "Differences Between Scientology and Other Studies" Oftentimes the important questions in life are the ones a person asks himself; and unlike other studies which try to force a person to accept beliefs, Scientology enables one to find his own answers. It points the way to true understanding of and belief in oneself. "The Machinery of the Mind" Gives an understanding of different mental phenomena, how these can cause a person to lose control and how one can regain power of decision and control of his life. "The Affinity-Reality-Communication Triangle" Explains how the ARC triangle works and how it can be used to resolve problems and improve personal relationships. "Increasing Efficiency" Inefficiency is a major barrier to success, but there are ways to increase one's efficiency. Provides data on how to increase one's effectiveness in life. "Man's Relentless Search" Describes what man is really searching for in life and how he can find it. His quest to find himself has repeatedly ended in failure and disappointment.
