The subject of communication occupies a prominent place in the legacy of L. Ron Hubbard’s research. He often lectured on the application of communication to benefit others seeking to improve and wrote several books and hundreds of shorter articles on the subject. This section could only touch upon some of the most basic principles. There are, however, many other materials available for the interested reader. Those listed below are recommended for further data about communication and practice in its application so as to become skilled in its use.
Success Through Communication Course
A week-long course which thoroughly teaches communication skills to train a person to guide and control communication in social or other situations. Contains eighteen separate drills, each one of which deals with a different aspect of good communication. Students learn effective ways to listen, make themselves understood, get their questions answered, handle communication upsets, start and maintain a conversation, get another person talking and much more. This course is for anyone who wants to communicate better. The skills taught here are used by thousands to bring greater success in relationships, careers and many other dealings with people. (Delivered in Scientology organizations.)
The New Hubbard Professional TR Course
This is the premier course on Scientology communication technology. Here, the full theory on communication is covered, including all writings by Mr. Hubbard on the subject, films which provide visual explanations of all aspects of communication as well as superb demonstrations of how to correctly do the TRs, and seven taped lectures wherein Mr. Hubbard demonstrates the correct use of the TRs and proper handling of the cycle of communication. Additionally, the course contains special exercises which vastly increase a person’s subjective understanding of communication, helping him to perfect his communication skills. These elements, plus supervision of the student’s TR drilling by trained organization staff, result in a course graduate who can handle anyone with communication alone and whose communication can stand up faultlessly to any situation no matter how rough. (Delivered in Scientology organizations.)
The Hubbard Professional Upper Indoc TR Course
The ability to control things and direct people and situations is key to any success in life, and can be learned by a student who has completed the Hubbard Professional TR Course. Upper Indoc TRs (indoc is short for “indoctrination,” meaning to teach) are the most advanced communication drills in Scientology. On this course one studies the theory of these drills, which includes eleven lectures and demonstrations of the TRs by Mr. Hubbard, and a film which shows how to do each Upper Indoc TR. The student then learns a high level of skill in starting, changing and stopping communication cycles and life situations through drilling and mastery of these TRs. It is not possible to successfully do anything in life if one cannot control objects, situations and communication. This course teaches that skill. (Delivered in Scientology organizations.)
