John Galusha and L. Ron Hubbard
Idenics has had a wonderful influence in the development of KHTK (Mindfulness), and this should be acknowledged. Idenics helped set up the bridge of understanding between the influences that KHTK had from Buddhism and Scientology.
Like Buddhism, KHTK is a grass-roots movement that employs mindfulness. But it incorporates the modern technology of “directed mindfulness” as introduced in Scientology but finally rounded up in Idenics.
If a person is having difficulty with the self-application of KHTK exercises and processes, I shall certainly recommend that person to go to an Idenics practitioner for assistance.
NOTE (February 22, 2020): KHTK is an acronym formed from Knowing How To Know.
NOTE (February 12, 2021): I now prefer Subject Clearing under the Discipline of Mindfulness over Idenics. You handle such points of equilibrium (or shocks) on a gradient in your contemplations during subject clearing.

Here is a question I have for Scientology “purists” that I put on JIM ROSS MESKIMEN’S BLOG
.
I saw this article on Facebook, and that is why I am here. I like Scientology too because I have been helped by it, but there are also aspects of Scientology that I don’t like, and which I try to understand. I hope you wouldn’t mind if I take up one of those aspects for discussion on your blog.
My earlier experiences in Scientology were wonderful; so much so that I documented them in My Introduction to America. Those early experiences gave me hope that I could get a grass-roots movement in education going in my country (India), through which people could improve themselves. The ancient movement of “meditation” had lost its steam long ago. But auditing as “directed meditation” could put life back in it.
But then I saw Scientology moving away from its early promise of creating a grass-roots movement in the field. I saw it becoming very sensitive to criticism even if that criticism were valid. I saw it declaring people as squirrels and suppressive if they thought on their own to make Scientology principles easier to apply at the grass-roots level. I saw an obsessive control to keep the technology out of general reach under the pretext of keeping it “pure.”
As we see in the field of science that the purity of knowledge would always be aspired for and any corruption of knowledge would just wash away over time. All one has to do is to make those basic principles easier to understand and apply. And that is what I have gone back to doing on my blog, which may not be appreciated by the “purists.”
Should or should not the Scientology research be continued by others, after Hubbard’s passing away? Shouldn’t the principles discovered by Hubbard be made easier to be applied at the grass-roots level?
.
PS: It was 1969 when I first came across Dianetics and Scientology, and dreamed of a grass-roots movement going in India. But, today, my country is the United States of America. It is where I live. And now I dream of a grass-roots movement in education started throughout the world.
I hope to accomplish that dream with the help of KHTK (Knowing How To Know), which is inspired in part by Scientology.

An example of a process based on this mindfulness approach is the following,
This approach may be done solo, or with the help of a Mindfulness guide. I shall be tweaking this approach further and reporting on it on this thread.
