FOR DIANETICS
Mr. Miscavige unveils another epic chapter in Dianetics history—a Landmark Site that helped shape Dianetics in 1950.
“For all the thunder you’ve just heard, there is still another word due on this 75th Anniversary,” Mr. Miscavige says. “Because, to fully grasp what today means, we must return to where it all began.”
A LEGACY REBORN
This is 42 Aberdeen Road in Elizabeth, New Jersey, site of the first Dianetics Foundation—opened last month as a historic L. Ron Hubbard Landmark Site. The Diamond Anniversary Celebration includes a stunning visual presentation of the dedication ceremony as a Dianetics legacy comes back to life.
The evening continues with a multitude of surprises for the audience—all revolving around Dianetics, the bestselling book ever on the human mind—which leads to continued excitement throughout the hall.
The first Dianetics announcement raising the crowd to its feet is the grand reveal of new editions of the book itself—not just one, but in fact five different releases heading out to the world.
“We are in the midst of something historic and as regards the world of Dianetics, the next Book One explosion commences now.”
—Ms. Erin Banks, General Manager, Scientology Media Productions
Dianetics: Clear Talk marks the night’s next big announcement, a new talk show, filmed before a live audience on Scientology Network. Hosted by TV star Jason Dohring, and interviewing award-winning actress Erika Christensen in the premiere, the show features entertainers, entrepreneurs, athletes and more from all walks of life, sharing personal stories of how Dianetics changed their lives.
The audience is overwhelmed with the news—a tremendous opportunity to spread even further the miracles contained in the book that started it all. The ovations are loud and wall-shaking—but there is still so much more to come.
In the name of planetary dissemination, the audience is thrilled to salute Scientologists from around the world who are tops in transforming lives by introducing Dianetics—winners in five different categories from three continents.
“What we acknowledge tonight is not only the reach of Dianetics, but those who drive that reach, day in and day out … they are the top players planetwide.”
—Ms. Sarah Sears, International Management Public Relations Office
The number one bookseller has literally traveled all over Italy, bringing Dianetics to 18 cities and towns in just the past 12 months. “After reading Dianetics, I wanted to make it known to millions of people. So I immediately started going out on the street and contacting people, selling books in every way and in every possible place.”
—Top Book One Bookseller,
Emanuele Dimastromatteo
The top Book One Auditor not only delivers some 30 hours of auditing each week in São Paulo, Brazil, he broadcasts a weekly Dianetics radio program. “Brazilians are famous all over the world for being friendly, warm and willing to improve. With Book One auditing, it is possible to make people smarter, happier and more able.”
—Top Book One Auditor,
Jorge Jucoski
Reading Dianetics forever changed their lives and, while this Book One Group (“Spartacus Warriors”) calls Bulgaria home, they’ve also pioneered Dianetics into Albania, Ukraine, North Macedonia, Türkiye and Taiwan. “I remember saying, and still believe to this day: ‘These books are 100 years ahead of anything I have ever read.’ I feel like Davy Crockett, opening the doors like pioneers from the past.”
—Top Book One Group,
Marc De Turck
The top Book One Mission has years of experience as five-time International Book-A-Thon Champions. “When we go out into the world with a book in hand, or guide an auditing session, we don’t do it as spectators—we do it from certainty! And everywhere we go, people say, ‘I need this.’”
—Top Book One Mission,
Quito, Ecuador
The top Org for Dianetics competed under the motto: “We are Mexican and we are making a boom!” and won the trophy in their first year as an Ideal Org. “Since our Grand Opening, we’ve brought Dianetics to 50 indigenous communities. We’ve also delivered Dianetics Seminars to dozens of companies. Again and again, we see the same scene unfold … the magic of Dianetics!”
—Top Book One Org,
Del Valle, Mexico
The crowd reaction to all the winners is thunderous, enthusiastic and overwhelmingly appreciative of the work they have done—which is inspirational to all.
“With that, we come to the next momentous chapter of this Diamond Anniversary Celebration,” Mr. Miscavige says, “and the ultimate embodiment of everything Book One set in motion.”
A NEW TOWER OF FREEDOM IN EASTERN CAPE
The impeccably restored 90-year-old building opened in the heart of the very province where freedom fighter Nelson Mandela was born. The Grand Opening ceremony was attended by city and religious leaders—all of whom effusively spoke of the joy they shared welcoming the newest Ideal Org.
Again, the crowd is elated and eager to see what else is possibly coming on this night of historic expansion—and they are rewarded.
“For all you’ve seen tonight, there’s still another dimension to consider,” Mr. Miscavige says. “When it comes to inviting the world out there into our world … there is nothing even remotely comparable to Scientology Network television.”
The next revelation is a preview of the upcoming season of Scientology Network, which doubled its viewership in just the last year and is seen in every country on Earth.
The new season continues Scientology Network’s bold tradition of 24/7 inspirational and groundbreaking programming. Highlights include the premiere of Dianetics: Clear Talk, hosted by TV star Jason Dohring; a Signature Performances documentary featuring Grammy Award-winning composer Mark Isham; and the debut of The Scientology Podcast, hosted by broadcast icon Kerri Kasem.
WATCH
As the evening draws to a close, the crowd stands in utter appreciation of all they have seen and what it means for the immediate and long-term future for Scientologists and the world.

“You have to ask yourself—as LRH once did: Now that the history of Dianetics has begun, what other things can we bring about tomorrow?

“Well, my friends…
tomorrow is here.”

—Mr. David Miscavige,
Ecclesiastical Leader of the
Scientology Religion
