L. Ron Hubbard had that same purpose in a much broader sphere. The discoveries he made along that line are so fundamental that they can be applied to any activity or area of knowledge--even printed circuit design. I have applied many of his discoveries to developing Streamlined Design and I hope I have done a good job of it. When the coursework here is fully completed, I hope it will serve as a good example of that.
I would do a great disservice to you if I tried to explain the foundation of Streamlined Design without explaining how it relates to L. Ron Hubbard's discoveries about life and universes: Scientology. In fact, if I tried to operate on that omission, the result would be incomprehensible, impossible to write let alone read; so inseparable are those principles explored and written up by Mr. Hubbard from my own work here.
The discoveries of Scientology were made with a view toward handling and improving any man or woman's life and out of this developed a technology for doing so. To deliver the results of this technology to actually improve the lives of individuals required teamwork; and out of this need Mr. Hubbard developed the technology of creating and managing groups, calling greatly on his discoveries about life itself. It is these techniques for handling groups that Streamlined Design is most based upon. This sector of Scientology is available to everyone in non-religious form through WISE, the World Institute of Scientology Enterprises . WISE is a truly secular activity and as such qualifies for use in corporations of the United States and elsewhere around the world in countries where, in order to protect religious freedom, religion and commercial business are deemed separate by law.
Mr. Hubbard had a good reliable handle on the subject of truth. He gave some lectures about his perspective on it and what he had discovered about it, which are now available as a taped lecture series named The Perception of Truth. He also broached the subject in a short essay called " Personal Integrity ."
Yes, I am a Scientologist. It is not my purpose here to proselytize, only to help. Study of L. Ron Hubbard's works have put me in a good position to do that. If you are curious about personal freedom, you can certainly find out for yourself about it . You could even start with my own personal experience if you wish.
There is one principal used in Streamlined Design that comes directly from "The Scientology Axioms": our motto, "Create a perfect duplicate of the engineer's intentions." It is based upon (and is quite a trivial dilution of) Axioms 12 and 20. One would have to at least read from Axioms 1 through 20 to understand how Axioms 12 and 20 work. I encourage you to read them and apply them to your own fields of endeavor. They are better read in hard copy than on a computer screen. Have a decent dictionary on hand, such as MacMillan's Dictionary for Students, and do not read past any word you don't understand. But hold onto your hat, because you are about to delve into the mysteries of the universe. And if you must take a look this instant, you can view the data online: "The Scientology Axioms."
My application of Scientology to printed circuit design may be incomplete and contain errors in interpretation. I take responsibility for my efforts here; they don't necessarily represent the viewpoint of WISE or the Church of Scientology or L. Ron Hubbard.
I hope this training proves to be a help to you. You can contact me anytime and let me know.
