The book is “Advanced Procedure and Axioms,” and the technology contained within is Thought, Emotion, and Effort. Now, if THOSE TERMS AND THEIR MEANING ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZABLE OR FAMILIAR TO YOU, then consider this: Effort Processing is the very technology LRH used to map the genetic line, meaning, the whole track of genetic evolution. It’s also the technology to get rid of disabilities and so filled the barrel in the reception room of Wichita Foundation with discarded eye glasses. And if you think lack of knowledge of this “old tech” hasn’t relegated it to the category of historical, why then don’t you see it in use? Indeed, this 1951 technology – Effort Processing – is even mentioned by LRH in a 1981 HCOB on Introductory Processes for all Org public divisions. So no, “lost tech” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Then
again, here is one where everything we’ve covered so far comes into
play – the book itself, definitions, and most definitely it’s never
before available companion lecture series. So let’s start
with the book and why it’s “lost tech.”As for why, here is the classic case of something not quite right: you go back to the time you were doing well, but you keep running into a wall because THE PAGES ARE IN THE WRONG SEQUENCE! Specifically, if any of you by chance attempted to follow the procedural steps of Effort Processing and figure out just how LRH mapped that genetic line, well, you may well have felt like a Neanderthal the moment you hit the key chapters on effort processing. Why? Because THERE WAS NO KEY CHAPTER ON PROCEDURE. Yes. LRH wrote a chapter entitled “Effort Processing,” but an editor with a brain of a shell fish inserted it into the previous chapter. In other words, two separate chapters were jammed together with the second page of the first chapter become the last page of the second, and while they were good enough to insert a paragraph break, the concepts didn’t quite connect. So, while you may have found yourself pausing over Advanced Procedure and Axioms, it’s not because the book is too advanced for us humanoids; it's simply because someone from the wrong side of the gene pool messed up the manuscript.

Then
there is the later editor from the not quite right side
of the track
who decides he’ll interject his clarifications so he assumes with no
basis in fact except his own case that everybody must have
misunderstood words whereupon he footnotes every word YOU don’t
understand turning a one page LRH introduction into 5 pages with the
LRH text only occupying the top inch and a half of the page – the rest
reserved for his definitions. It not only doesn’t make for an aesthetic
read, it also destroys the entire book, in effect, throwing it entirely
out of sequence, and here is why: the definition of terms that editor
decided to throw on page one are, each one, the subject of an entire
chapter later in the book where LRH gives the first and very complete
definition of these new subjects so you get “thought” defined in a
footnote on page 1 after getting to read all of one sentence of the
book, and yet thought is the subject of a two page chapter 44 pages
later. Wow, Mr. Editor, thanks a million for the clarification.But, yes, all of it is back to source a 100% and that means: the full description of self-determinism, and the discovery that one’s own decisions underlie any disability. Then again, “The Evolution of a Man” and the tech of thought, emotion, effort, postulates, computations, and the no holds barred definition of responsibility: all acts, all emotions, every dynamic.
Finally, most important of all, here is the discovering description of the service facsimile because, yes, THIS book reveals the source of disability and that source is the service facsimile, but more on that in a moment; because in addition to what I’ve already described, the recovery of lost tech includes the glossary LRH wrote FOR Advanced Procedure and Axioms. A previous editor has deleted it since he’d already covered it in HIS glossary – talk about misunderstoods. The LRH definitions aren’t even in alphabetical order since they are meant to be read as a chapter itself providing the NEW meaning of NEW terms and each definition building upon the last. In other words, put them in alphabetical order as that editor did and you NEVER get it.
And finally, here are definitions, logics, and axioms of Dianetics and is but a final important point: those logics and axioms actually precede and are the basis of everything contained in the main body of the text. In other words, the correct sequence is to study the axioms first and then read the book. However, even with all I’ve listed there is one more thing. Yes, you can now read the book and get it, but we are not just shooting for getting it – we want FULL CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING! Actually, we want that next level beyond understanding – PURE KNOWINGNESS; and if you only read the book, you would have this question: What happened? How did LRH move from Science of Survival and Self-Analysis to his next plateau? The answer: “Books are only summaries of conclusions as they appear on our track. The tapes are the only running record of research we have.” LRH And in this instance, it’s the new lectures series – “Thought, Emotion, and Effort” – which is in fact two lecture series in one.
