Comparing 1977 reprint copyrighted
under L. Ron
Hubbard [ISBN: 0-88404-017-8] to 2007 edition copyrighted
under "L. Ron Hubbard Library" [ISBN 978-1-4031-4418-8]

The next book in the chronological sequence is of course
Dianetics:
The
Evolution of a Science, and as many of you know this book was
originally
published in a national magazine to coincide with the release
of
Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health.
And after all you’ve just
heard regarding
The Original Thesis, you’ll be
happy to know the story
is not so dark when it comes to this book, at least not by comparison.
Indeed, the most notable discovery was
the inclusion of a
footnote
written by the editor of the magazine that first published the book and
erroneously included in all published editions.
Indeed, a
later editor
decided to reinforce that false datum adding the letters “LRH” which
weren’t even part of the original footnote. Needless to say that
footnote happens to be the most confusing part of the book and has been
appropriately deleted forevermore.
…

There is not much that can be said on the differences in the
actual content between
1977 reprint and 2007 edition of
The Evolution of a Science,
but one alteration is worthy of note - hitting the definition of an
enegram again:
1977: 67 |
2007: 72 |
 |
An engram is an energy-picture.
It is made during a period of physical pain when the
analyzer is out of circuit and the organism experiences something it
conceives to be or which is contrary to survival. |
An engram is simply a period of physical
