iven all we have presented here reflects a personal philosophic conviction, let us also now present L. Ron Hubbard’s “My Philosophy.” Dating from the spring of 1965, the work has been rightly described as the definitive LRH statement on his philosophic stance. Although no other explanation is necessary, the following may be of interest: In alluding to injuries suffered through the Second World War, he is referencing wounds sustained in combat on the island of Java and aboard a corvette in the North Atlantic. In noting his abandonment as of 1945, he is citing a sad and all too common fate of returning American soldiers, i.e., the reluctance of families, and wives in particular, to assume the burden of crippled veterans; hence the rash of postwar divorces. Finally, and lest it is not already obvious, all sentiments expressed here were life-long, and he did, indeed, continue “writing and working and teaching so long as I exist.”
