Now back to your regularly scheduled posting....
It's not...Maxwell Maltz was a very famous Psychologist...L. Ron Hubbards futuristic religion is called Dianetics & Scientology...with a hook-you-into-it book that I think is called Cybernetics, but not sure...Maxwell Maltz's book was calle Psycho-Cybernetics and if I remember correctly the main theme was about something he said, "what the human mind can conceive, it can achieve"...hmmmm...or was that Napolean Hill that said that? Btw, D&S came about as conversations between L. Ron Hubbard and the famous SF mag editor John W. Campbell, of Analog SF Mag, about what futuristic religions might seem like...this is one of the reasons that D&S kept L. Ron locked up in his later years...he originally wrote the books as a SF exercise, from what I understand, never really expecting them to be taken seriously, however...and that's the rest of the story as Paul Harvey usta say...
