I saw this in a public book on comparative religion; Hubbard produced a scale of all human emotions showing which ones were closest to one another (for example, fear can be turned to anger most directly). I presume it is documented elsewhere, but cannot find it.

This is called the Tone Scale, and it can be found here:

It can't have been a very good book on comparative religion...

" First I must tell you that there is no scientific evidence for most of Hubbard's theories, despite his claim that they are "scientific facts". Secondly, Hubbard had no academic background to come up with theories of the mind, despite his false grandiose claims of world travel and incredible education. Finally, the actual scientific community and in fact the real world all dispute with credible evidence almost all of Hubbard's theories."

"Beside emotions, Hubbard gives in Science of Survival for each level also other characteristics like health state, sexual activities, dealing with truth, activity level, and also worth to society. These descriptions are very detailed, e.g. persons at tone level 1.5 (chronic anger) are said to be prone to arthritis, people at tone level 1.1 (covert hostility) are said to be inclined to sexual perversity and homosexuality. People stuck at 2.0 (chronic antagonism) or lower on the tone scale have, according to Hubbard, a negative value for society and are described as sociopaths; furthermore, these people are said to be dangerous as the emotions or moods in the negative range theoretically impair the person's interactions with the world around them. Hubbard tells clearly how they should be dealt with in his opinion: "…any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind, because by abusing those rights they bring into being arduous and strenuous laws which are oppressive to those who need no such restraints" [1] and "There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the tone scale, neither of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by unenturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow. Adders are safe bedmates compared to people on the lower bands of the tone scale." [2]

Critics of Scientology see the following points regarding tone scale as problematic:

* The tone scale is said to be too simplistic and arbitrary to evaluate people. [citation needed]
* The tone scale has no scientific basis.
* As "sympathy" is defined at a low point on the tone scale[3] (below "Despair", "Terror" and even "No sympathy"), critics say the result is that Scientologists are conditioned to show no sympathy to anyone. The Church of Scientology claims that "sympathy" on the tone scale actually refers to a chronic demand for sympathy: "Sympathy is commonly accepted to mean the posing of an emotional state similar to the emotional state of an individual in grief or apathy" (Advanced Prodedures & Axioms, p.23). "The non-survival value of sympathy is this: an individual fails in some activity. [...] Even though he isn't sick actually he makes a bid for sympathy." (Handbook For Preclears, p.122) Advocates of the tone scale also claim that although "compassion" is marked nowhere on the tone scale, it is part of tone scale doctrine that moving up the tone scale will be accompanied by an increase in one's compassion for others [citation needed].
* Denying rights to people considered to be lower on the tone scale is an arbitrary violation of human rights, particularly of article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees the "right to life, liberty and security"."

Hubbard was a conman pure and simple. See here for how and why he created Dianetics and then Scientology. This is an independant biography by a renowed writer.

It has 1000's of communities and firms around the planet. stable administration : Harmonious alignment. undesirable administration : Disharmonious alignment. LRH from a Technical Bulletin. L.Ron Hubbard, properly, he grow to be L. Ron Hubbard. He did a lot of study, traveled, reported existence, asked questions, spoke back many questions, wrote books, started distinctive communities and activities, explored, mapped the two bodily and Spiritually. and actual lots, lots, greater. No, he never disassociated himself from Scientology, besides the shown fact that he did get people to run it organisationally. He had added study to do to end the 'Bridge to entire Freedom'. the elementary premise of Scientology is entire Freedom as a non secular Being. As a Scientologist 'i think' there grow to be a guy on the planet that grow to be much greater religious than many. He would have been called Jesus or Isa or another interior of sight call. i'm particular that he grow to be a non secular Being with an more suitable and greater intimate expertise of God than maximum. His physique grow to be from earth and he the Being, i'm able to easily assume from a non secular Realm. so some distance as Son of God, i do no longer understand. that's actual obtainable, I fairly have not considered it disproved. thank you for the question. stable success sifting by using the fake strategies.
