What attracted me to Dianetics in 1969 was the simple approach it seem to provide in the book DIANETICS: THE MODERN SCIENCE OF MENTAL HEALTH. My first 25 hours of Dianetics session seem to take that simple approach, and they did yield some fantastic results. Later auditing, however, got into grinding and the results were few and far in between.
Today we know what happened to that simple approach. It had taken off in the early 50s but then it died soon after. Hubbard's efforts to revive it never succeeded. I have a pretty good idea now as to what happened.
Hubbard's Dianetics has been based on his research (described in the book EVOLUTION OF A SCIENCE) where he forced a mental patient into a painful incident. Hubbard knew about that incident because it had come up in a drug hypnosis session with that patient. But the patient didn't know about it as he was under drugs at that time. So, Hubbard took on the task of making the patient aware of that incident even if it took brute force with the patient awake. Hubbard succeeded in that and the result was spectacular. With this incident the idea of ENGRAM was born.
But there are no engrams really. This painful incident could have been gotten if the mind were unstacked properly the way it was stacked up. No force would have been required then. But Hubbard was always in a rush.
Hubbard's later effort then became to somehow trick the mind to reveal painful incidents, which seem to release the most tension. His operating procedure became bypassing the natural stack up of tension in the mind.
This became Dianetics. But the downside was the stacking of the mind that was bypassed. As more and more "stacks" of the mind were bypassed, they generated their own tension and it became more and more difficult to get to painful incidents that were sought after.
What worked in earlier Dianetics was LOOKING on the part of the preclear. What didn't work was bypassing the natural stacking of tension in the mind.

Procedures that are not error tolerant are not adequate to clear the planet. Book One auditing had some potential but it got suppressed.
Unfortunately, the focus of Hubbard has been on money from the very beginning (50's). He needed that money to protect himself from dangers he felt were lurking all around him.
Book One auditing didn't require keeping of any pc folders. It was an effective technology based simply on LOOKING, and could have been improved by simplifying its complex computations.
This was accomplished to a large degree by John Galusha in Idenics. It has now been accomplished in the KHTK approach too. See Vinaire's Blog.
