The Ideal Org

“The ideal org would be an activity where people came to achieve freedom and where they had confidence they would attain it.

“The ideal org is the image one builds toward.

“Anything which is short of an ideal org is an outpoint that can be put right.

“It is the product of the causative actions of many.

“The end product is not just an ideal org but a new civilization already on its way.”

“If we win, you will win. The kids in school will grow up. And we will have a world without criminality, without war.

Image

“A poor org public image can cost an org nine-tenths of its income, thus greatly curtailing pay and facilities. It can lead to trouble with the area. It can reduce the expansion of Dianetics and Scientology to near zero.

“If an org and its staff display a downstat image, public confidence in Dianetics and Scientology is shaken.

“By showing a good org mock-up, we are living examples of what Dianetics and Scientology can do.”

Unpostulated Group

“And a group cannot exist unless it continues to be postulated into existence by members of the group. And when large numbers of the group are engaged in unpostulating it, or in postulating it our of existence….then, or course, the rest of the group has to work much harder to keep the group back in.”

“But if we’re going to have a group, then we have to work at a group. The group has to be clean as far as the individuals in the group are concerned. There has to be free communication, and there has to be a continued wish to continue to postulate the group into existence. If we do those things, we have a group.”

Help

“Capability of help is entirely independent of duty or obligation to help. These two things should be entirely different things. And an individual cannot make up his mind on the rightfulness or wrongfulness of help so long as he himself is not totally clear on the subject of help.

“Now, there are fellows who run around and are criticized by their fellow man because they’ve got to help everybody, and they’ve got to help this and they’ve got to help that, and they’re always helping stray dogs, and they’re always helping stray cats.

“I think some lady who can only help stray cats is still luckier than any politician I ever met who could never help anything to the end of his days.”

SPs and Crimes

“Orgs are in the very new, for this universe, business of setting people free.

“SPs will find all manner of reasons not to, for this is what they, with their own crimes, fear.

“Thus it follows that they cut dissem lines, corrupt tech, suppress and confuse orgs, persuade people to be inactive and resort to other shifts, all quite ‘reasonable’ and ‘logical’ as to why this must be the way it is; so be alert to this and go ahead and set people free.”

“One’s appreciation of the MEST universe is almost uniformly the energy which one himself places upon the MEST universe, in other words his illusions.

Rank of Considerations

“Considerations take rank over the mechanics of space, energy and time. By this it is meant that an idea or opinion is, fundamentally, superior to space, energy and time or organizations of form, since it is conceived that space, energy and time are themselves broadly agreed-upon considerations. That so many minds agree brings about reality in the form of space, energy and time. These mechanics, then, of space, energy and time are the product of agreed-upon considerations mutually held by life.”

“An objective can always be achieved.

“Scientology can and does change human behavior for the better. It puts the individual under the control of himself-where he belongs. It is a science of life and it works. It handles the basic rules of life and it brings order into chaos.”

Making Sure No One Succeeds

“We work, in our organizations, in the face of a bank that says that the group is all and the individual nothing. This you know. Know, too, that the same bank is constructed to make very sure that no one ever succeeds in forming anything resembling an effective group with true survival goals or purposes. So we face quite a challenge. But in standard admin policy we have a potent weapon with which to meet this challenge: a codified system or organization which, were it has been applied purely, has resulted in the most powerful and effective organizations this planet and sector have ever known. Required only are the courage, determination and confront to master and use this weapon.

“I count on you–the individual Scientologist–to take up the challenge, to put standard Scientology administrative policy to work, and to WIN. You can, you know. And the victory will be not only for you but for Scientology and for all mankind.”

Courage

“Courage could be summed up in: one, being willing to cause something and two, going ahead to achieve the effect one has postulated against any and all odds. There doesn’t happen to be any such thing as failure. There just doesn’t happen to be any such thing.

“But of course, you all want to agree there’s such a thing as failure so that you can have a reason to fail so you won’t have to be cause. That’s another thing. But there isn’t any reason to fail. There’s no excuse for any failure that ever occurred any place in history, except this–except this: There was just not quite enough carry-through and push-through.

“You can mark the high tide of any empire or of any army in any period in the history of Homo sapiens and you’ll find out somebody, someplace on that track was deficient in guts. And when he was, he lost the whole track. There isn’t even such a thing as ‘carrying on too long in one direction toward the postulated effect.’ There isn’t even that. There isn’t even such a thing as ‘there are too many odds.’ That doesn’t exist. Nor there isn’t such a thing as saying, ‘Well, what I postulated was unreasonable and therefore I have to abandon that goal now because it was unreasonable,’ and so forth.”

“Oh yes, I know the insane commit suicide. Yes, I know the psychs believe that we are just brains and thus soulless zombies. Yes, I know they hope they live only one life.

“Only the insane or a zombie would imperil his own future…

“It isn’t a matter of ‘What can I make on the first dynamic.’ It’s ‘What can I make for the third and fourth?’…

And Alexander came out with about eighty thousand Macedonians and Greeks and a little handful of cavalry and said, “Huh! Look at those guys! Well, you take the left flank, we’ll take the center and you take the right flank over there – and let’s go.” And Darius’ army collapsed. Eighty thousand men in hand-to-hand combat with comparable weapons cannot whip a million and a half men, obviously! But this was the group espirit of Alexander’s forces, and they hit Darius’ forces and just rolled them over like tenpins.

“Alexander had that forward motion about everything. “A town? Oh, that heap of mud. We’ll take that this afternoon, but this evening we’ve got to get busy.”

“At one of his furthest reaches in India he laid siege to an enormous town, a big walled city. They tried battering the gates, and archers and everything else were shooting at them and the army was getting pretty tired of this. So Alexander told his troops, “Throw me and two other guys over the wall and we will open the door for you.” So they did, and they took the town. They threw Alexander and two soldiers over the wall into the hands of the enemy forces, and Alexander went over and opened the gates.

“If you looked at life this way and said, “I don’t see anything that could offer me any trouble. There are no obstacles around here that I can see. As far as putting forward my ideas, as far as even thinking up ideas, as far as carrying forward in life at large, I don’t see any obstacles,” you wouldn’t have any.
