There are those that believe explaining the trap of of dianetics or scientology cannot be explained by using Hubbard, and one must venture outside hubbard's idea's using psychology or current think or ideas. I somewhat believe this, but I also think revealing Hubbard's idea's from another point of view can help, and that is from the POV that he was a writer, IMHO.
I believe these two concepts are part of the woof and warp idiom of scientology.
1. Hubbard explained the "mystery sandwich" in the tech dictionary, and he says "the principle of mystery is, of course, this: the only way anybody gets stuck to anything is by a mystery sandwich."
bold by Hubbard and not me in the above quote.
2. Hubbard also mentions in a lecture that stories need to have a weenie and that means the thing everybody is after in a story plot or movie. Nowadays it might be referred to as cliffhanger.
So how do those two concepts play out from Excalibur to OT 8 and beyond?
In the very beginning, b/4 dianetics, Hubbard said he wrote a book called Excalibur, and the mystery, that he told publishers was that people who read it went insane and jumped out of windows because he revealed in writing and thru his discoveries the secrets of life.
