HCO Policy Letter of 7 February 1965.
Keeping Scientology Working Series 1.
Note: Neglect of this PL has caused great hardship on staffs, has cost countless millions and made it necessary in 1970 to engage in an all-out international effort to restore basic Scientology over the world. Within 5 years after the issue of this PL with me off lines, violation has almost destroyed orgs. "Quickie grades" entered in and denied gain to tens of thousands of cases. Therefore actions which neglect or violate this policy letter are HIGH CRIMES resulting in Comm Evs on ADMINISTRATORS and EXECUTIVES. It is not "entirely a tech matter" as its neglect destroys orgs and caused a two year slump. IT IS THE BUSINESS OF EVERY STAFF MEMBER to enforce it.
SPECIAL MESSAGE
THE FOLLOWING POLICY LETTER MEANS WHAT IT SAYS.
IT WAS TRUE IN 1965 WHEN I WROTE IT. IT WAS TRUE IN 1970 WHEN I HAD IT REISSUED. I AM REISSUING IT NOW IN 1980. TO AVOID AGAIN SLIPPING BACK INTO A PERIOD OF OMITTED AND QUICKIED FUNDAMENTAL GRADE CHART ACTIONS ON CASES, THEREBY DENYING GAINS AND THREATENING THE VIABILITY OF SCIENTOLOGY AND OF ORGS.SCIENTOLOGY WILL KEEP WORKING ONLY AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR PART TO KEEP IT WORKING BY APPLYING THIS POLICY LETTER.
WHAT I SAY IN THESE PAGES HAS ALWAYS BEEN TRUE, IT HOLDS TRUE TODAY. IT WILL STILL HOLD TRUE IN THE YEAR 2000 AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD TRUE FROM THERE ON OUT.
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN SCIENTOLOGY, ON STAFF OR NOT, THIS POLICY LETTER HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU.
ALL LEVELS
KEEPING SCIENTOLOGY WORKING
HCO Sec or Communicator hat check on all personnel and all new personnel as taken on.
We have some time since passed the point of achieving uniformly workable technology.
The only thing now is getting the technology applied.
If you can't get the technology applied, then you can't deliver what's promised. It's as simple as that. If you can get the technology applied, you can deliver what's promised.
The only thing you can be upbraided for by students or pcs is "no results". Trouble spots occur only when there are "no results". Attacks from governments or monopolies occur only when thare are "no results" or "bad results".
Therefore the road before Scientology is clear and it's ultimate success is assurred if the technology is applied.
So it is the task of the Assoc or Org Sec.the HCO Sec. the Case Supervisor. the D of P. the D of T and all staff members to get the correct technology applied.
Getting the correct technology applied consists of:
One: Having the correct technology.
Two: Knowing the technology.
Three:Knowing it is correct.
Four: Teaching correctly the correct technology.
Five: Applying the technology.
Six: Seeing that the technology is correctly applied.
Seven:Hammering out of existence incorrect technology.
Eight: Knocking out incorrect applications.
Nine: Closing the door on any possibility of incorrect technology.
Ten: Closing the door on incorrect application.
One above has been done.
Two has been achieved by many.
Three is achieved by the individual applying the correct technology in a proper manner and observing that it works that way.
Four is being done daily successfully in most parts of the world.
Five is consistently accomplished daily.
Six is achieved by Instructors and Supervisors consistently.
Seven is done by a few but is a weak point.
Eight is not worked on hard enough.
Nine is impeded by the reasonable attitude of the not quite bright.
Ten is seldom done with enough ferocity.
Seven,Eight,Nine and Ten are the only places Scientology can bog down in any area.
The reasons for this are not hard to find. (a) A weak certainty that it works in Three above can lead to weakness in Seven, Eight,Nine and Ten. (b) Further, the not too bright have a bad point on the button of Self-Importance. (c) The lower the IQ. the more the individual is shut off from the fruits of observation. (d) The service facs of people make them defend themselves against anything they confront, good or bad, and seek to make it wrong . (e) The bank seeks to knock out the good and perpetuate the bad.
Thus, we as Scientologists and as an organization must be very alert to Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten.
In all the years I have been engaged in research I have kept my comm lines wide open fro research data. I once had the idea that a group could evolve truth. A third of a century has thoroughly disabused me of that idea. Willing as I was to accept suggestions ( less than twenty) had long-run value and none were major or basic: and when I did accept major or basic suggestions and used them, we went astray and I repented and eventually had to "eat crow."
On the other hand there have been thousands and thousands of suggestions and writings, if accepted and acted upon, would have resulted in the complete destruction of all our work as well as the sanity of pcs. So I know what a group of people will do and how insane they will go in accepting unworkable "technology." By actual record the percentages are about twenty to 100,000 that a group of human beings will dream up bad technology to to destroy good technology. As we could have gotten along without suggestions, then, we had better steel ourselves to continue to do so now that we have made it. This point will, of course, be attacked as "unpopular", "egotistical" and "undemocratic." It very well may be. But it is a survival point. And I don't see that popular measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for man but push him further into the mud. Currently, popularity endorses degraded novels, self-abnegation has filled the the Southeast jungles with stone idols and corpses, and democracy has given us inflation and income tax.
Our technology has not been discovered by a group. True, if the group had not supported me in many ways, I could not have discovered it either. but it remains that if in it's formative stages it was not discovered by a group, then group efforts, one can safely assume, will not add to it or successfully alter it in the future.I can only say this now that it is done. There remains, of course, group tabulation or coordination of what has been done, which will be valuable - only so long as it does not seek to alter basic principles and succesful applications.
The contributions that were worthwhile in this period of forming technology were in the form of friendship, of defense, of organization, of dissemination, of application, of advices on results and of finance. These were great contributions and were and are appreciated.
We will not speculate here on why this was so or how I came to rise above the bank. We are dealing only in facts and the above is a fact - the group left to it's own devices would not have evolved Scientology but with wild dramatizations of the bank called "new ideas" would have wiped it out. Supporting this is the fact that man has never before evolved workable mental technology and emphasizing it is the vicious technology he did evolve -psychiatry,surgery,shock treatment,whips,duress,punishment. etc.. ad infinitum.
So realize that we have climbed out of the mud by whatever good luck and good sense,and refuse to sink back into it again. See that Seven.Eight.Nine and Ten above are ruthlessly followed and we will never be stopped. Relax them, get reasonable about it and we will perish.
So far, while keeping myself in complete communication with all suggestions, I have not failed on Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten in areas I could supervise closely. But it is not enough for just myself and a fgew others to work at this.
Whenever this control as per seven, Eight Nine and Ten has been relaxed the whole organizational area has failed. Witness Elizabeth, NJ: Witchita;the early organizations and groups. They crashed only because I no longer did Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten. Then, when they were all messed up, you saw the obvious reason for failure. But ahead of that they ceased to deliver and that involved them in other reasons.
The common denominator of the group is the reactive bank. Thetans without banks have different responses.They only have their banks in common.They agree then only on bank principles. Person to person the bank is identical.So constructive ideas are individual and seldom get broad agreement in a human group. An individual must rise above an avid craving for agreement from a humanoid group to get anything decent done. The bank-agreement has been what has made Earth a hell - and if you were looking for hell and found Earth, it would certainly serve. War, famine, agony and disease has been the lot of man. Right now the great governments of Earth have developed the means of frying every man, woman and child on the planet. That is bank. That is the result of Collective-Thought-Agreement. The decent, pleasant things on this planet come from individual actions and ideas that have somehow gotten by the Group Idea. For that matter, look how we ourselves are attacked by "public opinion"media.Yet there is no more ethical group on this planet than ourselves.
Thus each one of us can rise above the domination of the bank and then, as a group of freed beings, achieve freedom and reason. It is only the aberrated group, the mob, that is destructive.
When you don't do Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten actively, you are working for the bank-dominated mob. For it will surely, surely (a) introduce incorrect technology and swear by it. (b) apply technology as incorrectly as possible. (c) open the door to any destructive idea, and (d) encourage incorrect application.
It's the bank that says the group is all and the individual nothing.It's the bank that says we must fail.
So just don't play that game. Do Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten and you will knock out of your road all future thorns.
