  <abstract>Handbook for Preclears by L. Ron Hubbard (1951) is a self-processing manual that marks the pivotal transition from Dianetics to Scientology. It provides fifteen guided mental exercises ("Acts") designed to help individuals clear past negative conditioning, break destructive habits, and restore personal self-determinism. A central concept introduced in the text is the "life continuum"—the process by which a person unknowingly inherits or takes on the physical disabilities, attitudes, and traits of deceased or departed loved ones instead of living their own life.</abstract>
