Tolkien Hubbard - Biography

Lafayette Ron Hubbard (L. Ron Hubbard) was born on March 13, 1911, in Tiler, Nebraska, United States. His parents, Harry Ross Hubbard and Leda Waterbury, were ordinary citizens. L. Ron Hubbard spent many years of his childhood and youth in various places such as California and Washington. In the 1930s, he began his studies at Georgetown University, but did not finish it and instead went to travel the seas and learn the world.

L. Ron traveled for many years, working on various ships and getting to know different cultures and religious beliefs. These experiences and adventures inspired him to start writing, and he became the author of numerous novels and short stories, including popular works such as "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mind" and "The War of the Invisible."

In 1950, he published his most famous book, "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mind," which became the basis of the Scientology movement.

In 1954, after the success of Dianetics, L. Ron founded the Church of Scientology. This new religious movement united his philosophical and spiritual ideas, and he became its spiritual leader. The Church of Scientology rapidly expanded and attracted many followers around the world.

The central concept of Scientology is the idea that a person can achieve spiritual perfection and higher awareness through special techniques and practices proposed by L. Ron Hubbard. These techniques include auditing (a psychological counseling procedure) and the use of emethicons (organs of the human soul, as Scientology describes them).

Scientology causes many controversies and counterversions. Her supporters claim she helped them improve their lives and achieve personal evolution. Still, critics accuse the movement of sectarianism, financial exploitation and human rights abuses.
