Relationships and Dianetics

Our lives are full of relationships whether they be family, friends or business. Love or hate, we are relating with and communicating to people all around us everyday.

Most people do not understand what makes one friendship or marriage work and another go sour. One moment things can be sailing along like a summer breeze – you are madly in love. The next moment, the person who worshiped the very ground that you walked on now won't give you the time of day. What happened – Did the romance just evaporate? What happens? Why can't you create something beautiful with that person anymore?

Solutions common today such as pharmaceutical drugs and alcohol simply mask the source and actually exacerbate the problem.

The actual source of this strange behavior that confuses and confounds our lives is called the reactive mind. ("The reactive mind is the portion of a person's mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis, which is not under his volitional (willing) control, and which exerts force and the power of command over his awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions. The reactive mind is that portion of the mind which files and retains physical pain and painful emotion and seeks to direct the organism solely on a stimulus-response basis." From Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health)

Volumes have been written about the "subconscious" or "unconscious" mind. In the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, L. Ron Hubbard, clearly defines and explains the subconscious or reactive mind this way:

From this one could easily see a relationship going awry for no other reason than a person's inability to understand, rise above or get rid of the Reactive Mind.

Explained in the book Dianetics is the headache that occurs "for no reason at all" each time you are with a certain family member, the uncontrollable nervousness when you have to talk to a business meeting, the cold sweat that happens when it's your turn at bat or when it's time to ask the young lady out on the first date.

All of these things can be solved. A short study of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health can put one in a position to do something about it. One can actually be rid of their so called neuroses – their nervousness, cold sweats, rage or uncontrollable anger.

Doing Dianetics, one can achieve their goals and be happy.

"Happiness is the overcoming of not unknown obstacles toward a known goal and, transiently, the contemplation of or indulgence in pleasure."
