After the break up with 2nd wife Sara, from which Hubbard never recovered - as she rejected
him - and the falling out with business partner Don Purcell (whom Hubbard had swindled), Hubbard, out of the blue, came out with his "Whole Track Maps," and then his "What to Audit' a.k.a. 'History of Man'.
Was Hubbard explaining (possibly to himself?, and definitely to others) why Sara had left him? He said she had been "PDHed" or "Pain Drug Hypnotized," which was a kind of "implant." This would have "keyed in" prior "whole track implants").
Old timer and Hubbard confidante at the time, John Sanborn, suggested that Hubbard was attempting to drive Don Purcell (who was a one lifetime, 1950s style, Dianeticist) a bit crazy.
One thing for sure, Hubbard's "research" into trillions of years of time track was done practically overnight.
Inventing a vast past for his followers gave him a certain amount of power over them.

"
This is a cold blooded and factual account of your last sixty trillion years," from 1952's '
What to Audit' found
Hubbard telling others the contents of their minds, but it was premature "mind grope."
Just as the early 1950s e-meter reactions projected on the wall with shadows, while the audience went "ooh!" and "ahh!," was
premature "Your e-meter will tell you"-ism.
And the 1951 ('Science of Survival") "No rights of any kind" was
premature SP Doctrine.
And the 1951 "dispose of quietly and without sorrow" was premature Fair Game Law and
premature disconnection - disconnection in its most extreme form.
It was too early for the implementation of these ideas on the still small, fragile and tentative membership.
In the mean time, Hubbard surrounded himself with those excited about his much advertised vision of a better world, and excited about the full releasing of spiritual ability.
Hubbard liked to write and he liked to lecture, and he had a knack as a practical psychologist. He drew on the ideas and innovations of the most creative of those around him, and drew on his own knowledge of abreaction (catharsis, "get it [buried thoughts and emotions] off your chest") therapy, Korzybski's General Semantics with its "earlier similars" etc,, and Aleister Crowley's Magic(k).
He re-worked the (four 'letters' - ingredients - of the) Kabbalistic 'tetragrammaton', and it became his 'Four Conditions of Existence'. Hubbard rewrote Crowley's 'Naples Arrangement' and it became his 'The Factors'. He borrowed Crowley's idea of a multiplicity of infinite minds and further excited Scientologists with that notion. None of these were original with Crowley, who was as much a relay point as was Hubbard.
Yet, unlike Crowley, Hubbard would eventually incorporate the methods of psychological warfare into his system, and use those methods, not only on his perceived enemies, but on his own followers.
And when he finally - in the mid 1960s - unleashed, mostly covertly, the psychological warfare methods of the "Russian Textbook" on Scientologists, he also returned to fully utilizing those ideas he had briefly tested more than a decade earlier.
He gave them a past, he gave them a future, he told them the contents of their own minds, and made it plain that only HE knew and others were going to be
told.
Hubbard had written confidentially of the importance of "using enemy tactics," and would even use those "enemy tactics" on his own loyal followers. He had written of psychiatrists in August 1963:
"Psychiatry is authoritarian and tells the person what's wrong with him, often introducing a new lie."
(An old con man trick is to warn others about bad ideas and actions, done by bad people, and then turn around and use the same ideas and actions on those whose guards are now down, having been warned about the bad guys by their "greatest friend.")
Soon to follow would be the
secret and very serious, and very (Scientologists were told) dangerous, and vital to your survival "Clearing Course," "OT 2" and "OT 3," in which Hubbard would do what he said the psychiatrists did.
Hubbard had done this in 1952, but by the 1960s it was formalized and institutionalized, and a senior part of the doctrine of Scientology doctrine.
From Hubbard, 1966:
"Many persons experience unreality at the start of [implant] GPM running [told to you, not asked, by Hubbard through the materials]. This leaves when you see the meter reads."
L. Ron Hubbard, from 1946, from his (private) ''Affirmations':
"Your writing has a deep hypnotic effect on people and they are always pleased with what you write.
"Your psychology is advanced and true and wonderful. It hypnotizes people. It predicts their emotions, for you are their ruler."

Scientology, the trap, first needed its "cheese," and Hubbard spent the next ten years (approx 1953-1963) concentrating on that, before unveiling his 'bait and switch' "Bridge to Total Freedom" trap.
By the way, I
like the idea of universal history and extraterrestrials, I just don't like being
told the contents of my own mind and space by anyone - including L. Ron Hubbard.
That's "implanting."
And because of confidentiality, and also PR tech with its smoke and mirrors, it's covert "implanting."
Covert "Implanting" disguised as "auditing."
Hey, I think I just defined Scientology.
