DRUGS AND TONE SCALE

Introduction: There is a correlation between drugs and Tone Scale. It is mainly people with low tones who turn to drugs. People are also much more vulnerable to drugs when they have been destabilized by one or more events or circumstances.

Drugs and Tone Scale

In the book “Science of Survival” there is the “Hubbard’s Chart of Human Evaluation and Dianetic Processing” – a very valuable and helpful scale.

I would like to add an additional column to this chart: drug use.

In general, there is a widespread belief that drugs are addictive – in other words, that it is the drug itself that causes addiction. But what if this is not true?

For many years, I have observed that it is primarily low-tone people who turn to drugs. People are also far more susceptible to drugs when they have been thrown off balance by one or more events or circumstances – that is, when they fall down the tone scale.

One might also ask whether it is rather the case that drugs make people low-tone. They certainly do – but in my opinion, that statement does not go far enough.

Scientology brings people up the tone scale. They become healthier and happier, receive their Grades, develop joy in communication and are able to find it. They are in present time, can solve problems, lose their resentment, and become causative. They love taking on new things, can handle change, are free from upsets, and are not fixed.

All of these are high-tone qualities. A high-tone person does not need drugs. And it is their natural inclination to get rid of them.

Many of our members used drugs before Scientology – I have heard many such stories. But once they found Scientology and took just a few basic steps, they shot up the tone scale and dropped drugs from one day to the next.

The lower a person is on the scale, the stronger the craving for drugs.

As mentioned, I have observed this connection for many years. But when I read about the Rat Park experiment, I felt I had to write about it. Because rats – even when made addicted – took opiates only if they were forced to live a low-tone, rat-unworthy life: a metal box without companionship, without dynamics, and without any future perspective.

In a life-affirming environment, they no longer touched the opiates. You can read about it here.

As I said, one could add an additional column to the chart, but ultimately everyone can imagine it for themselves. Drug dealers would probably be placed around 1.1 to 1.5. People below 1.0 are at risk of addiction – naturally including the minus tone levels.

 “Science of Survival” is an extremely valuable book. I repeatedly recommend it even to brand-new people, because it is one of the best basic books we have. It is the handbook for Scientologists.
