No more fitting statement typifies L. Ron Hubbard than his simple declaration, "I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days."
With over 250 Million copies of his works in circulation and dozens of international best-sellers, he has inspired a movement spanning every continent on Earth. All told, those works comprise some 5,000 writings and over 3,000 recorded lectures and, as such, not only stand as the single most embracive statement on the human mind and spirit but provide the only road to total spiritual freedom.
Yet the greatest testament to L. Ron Hubbard are the miracles of his life-improving technology, and the millions of friends who carry forth that technology into the future. Both continue to grow with each passing day.
