If you have ever studied Scientology you may recognize the name as appearing in one of the most famous of L. Ron Hubbard's recorded lectures -- the Phoenix Lectures.

While he lived in this modest home in Phoenix Mr. Hubbard's research into the spirit and life took on a completely new dimensions, as it was here that he developed processes that enabled the individual to gain certainty of himself/herself as a spiritual being.

The basic books and lectures of L. Ron Hubbard were released last month at an international Scientology event in Clearwater, Florida. David Miscavige did a three-hour long presentation documenting the tremendous work that was done to go back to L. Ron Hubbard's original works including the wax disks on which the material for all but one of the basic Scientology books were dictated and from which the books were transcribed.

It was fascinating to see how transcriptionists had altered what he dictated. And it is very exciting to now have this original research in a pure form for study.

And since so much of the original work came from the years when LRH lived in Phoenix, it is fitting that this part of history has been memorialized in this museum.
