Ortega, Tony (September 28, 2013). "Blood Relation, Blood Ritual: A Hubbard Family Occult Mystery". The Underground Bunker. In February 1978, Hubbard was convicted, in absentia, by a French court for obtaining money under false pretences. He was fined and sentenced to four years in prison. [250] On August 18, 1978, Hubbard collapsed while filming in the desert. [251] Suffering from a pulmonary embolism, Hubbard fell into a coma, but later recovered. [252] Hubbard summoned his personal auditor, David Mayo, to heal him; Mayo recalled: "Hubbard considered the cause of illness to be some bad auditing he'd had just prior, so the idea was to find out what had gone wrong in the auditing and correct that - it would be a spiritual cure." [240] Miller 1987, p.149: "With cooperation from some institutions, some psychiatrists, [Hubbard] has worked on all types of cases. Institutionalized schizophrenics, apathies, manics, depressives, perverts, stuttering, neuroses—in all, nearly 1000 cases. But just a brief sampling of each type; he doesn't have proper statistics in the usual sense. But he has one statistic. He has cured every patient he worked with. He has cured ulcers, arthritis, asthma."

We stress getting a HIPAA form so that through the medical system, we can find out the conditions of our loved ones. Each person knows that they don’t even know they have. They’ll say something and someone else will say, “That’s right. I could do that. I did do that.” My son said the same thing, and it’s a vast feeling of not being alone.

Retrieved February 14, 2011.With the other general groups, we have some formerly incarcerated people that come into this group as well and give a realistic view of, “Here’s what I experienced when I came out and the struggles that I had.” It’s so beneficial. We also talk about the fact that preparing for re-entry starts on day one. There are things that the family can do to help their loved one who is incarcerated. There are things that the incarcerated individual can do as well while they’re in prison to prepare for the most success afterward.

Hubbard has been described as an "eclectic and ingenious" religious innovator who cobbled together ideas from a diverse array of sources and traditions. [273] Hubbard explicitly cited Freud's psychoanalysis as a source for Dianetics and Scientology, renaming some terms. [274] [275] Hubbard's wife Sara recalled him discussing biologist Richard Semon, who had coined the term " engram" which became a centerpiece of Dianetics. [275] Hubbard incorporated the 1920s psychoanalytic theory of birth trauma and taught his followers to maintain total silence during the birth process. [276] [275] Hubbard explicitly credited Social Darwinism pioneer Herbert Spencer who coined the phrase " survival of the fittest" -- Hubbard taught the 'one command' given to all life is to "survive" and later authored a book called Science of Survival.

I want what I wanted at the beginning of the time that I started this with my husband. The children’s group is a great caveat off of this as well. My kids are in that group and what they get out of it is as good as what I get out of the group that I facilitate.
