Ron in Southern Africa
"From Southern Africa will spring the next great civilization
on this planet…” L Ron Hubbard
Anybody who has studied even a small part of L Ron Hubbard’s
life will be struck by the fullness of it; he was an adventurer,
musician, humanitarian, photographer, and ship captain, pilot
and not least an author, the content of which will be found in
over 1,000 published works making Ron the most published author
of all time according to the Guinness Book of Records.
As a philosopher and a man of action it is befitting that Ron
developed a full technology of life that has practical value to
all manner of people regardless; his works range from a simple
non-religious moral code, to detailed writings on drug rehabilitation,
and includes documented evidence of the spirituality of mankind.
His research was done across the globe; from Alaska to Africa,
from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, the America’s to the
Far East, resulting in 100 000 sea miles travelled and 21 cultures
studied by the time Ron was 29 years old, all aimed at gaining
an understanding of man’s nature and potential.
The statement above, which is the driving vision of NCI, is made
that much more profound when viewing Ron's body of work, the depths
of his research and the profound impact this has had on our planet.
What is remarkable is that this postulate is repeated and agreed
upon by others including Ghandi, Mandela, Tutu, Sisulu, and Luthuli.
Oprah Winfrey and Sir Richard Branson who have invested time
and money here are in good company; Ron recognised the special
quality and potential of the region in the 1960’s just like
these recent stellar visitors. He established the first black
owned business in Rhodesia, wrote a constitution for both Rhodesia
and South Africa and even coined the phrase “one man, one
vote” whilst visiting our shores.

About Ron
There are only two tests of a life well lived L. Ron Hubbard
once remarked: Did one do as one intended? And were people glad
one lived? In testament to the first stands the full body of his
life’s work, including the more than 5,000 writings and
3,000 tape-recorded lectures of Dianetics and Scientology. In
evidence of the second are the tens of millions of individuals
whose lives have been demonstrably bettered because he lived.
They are the more than 3 million children now reading because
of L. Ron Hubbard’s educational discoveries; they are the
millions of men and women freed from substance abuse through L.
Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in drug rehabilitation; they
are the more than 50 million who have been touched by his nonreligious
moral code; and they are the many millions more who hold his work
to be the spiritual cornerstone of their lives.
Although best known for Dianetics and Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard
cannot be so simply categorized. If nothing else, his life was
too varied, his influence too broad. There are Bantu tribesmen
in southern Africa, for example, who know nothing of Dianetics
and Scientology, but they know L. Ron Hubbard the educator. Likewise,
there are factory workers in Albania who know him only for his
administrative discoveries; children in China who know him only
as the author of their moral code, and readers in a dozen languages
who know him only for his novels. So, no, L. Ron Hubbard is not
an easy man to categorize and certainly does not fit popular misconceptions
of “religious founder” as an aloof and contemplative
figure.
Yet the more one comes to know this man and his achievements,
the more one comes to realize he was precisely the sort of person
to have brought us Scientology – the only major religion
to have been founded in the twentieth century. Find out more about
Ron.
