Cause level — the first ladder to OT  
 

"Well, I did have something to talk to you about, now that I think it over very carefully. And what's wrong with you—there's something wrong with you, of course—is just this:

"You're so bird-dogged* onto the dazzling glories of OT that you're going to leave the rest of the human race hanging in midair between the bottom rung of the ladder to OT and the ground. Because the bottom rung of OT does not sit on the ground. There's a large gap between the ground and the bottom rung. And there's another ladder there. And you try to climb the upper ladder without letting anybody climb the lower ladder, or try to get people to climb the upper ladder without letting them climb the lower ladder or showing it's there, there's going to be an awful lot of people walking around in circles thinking you're nuts or we're nuts or it doesn't work or it's too horrible or something is all wrong, and it'd be something like there's a big amusement park but they can't find the gate to get in, don't you see? There's all kinds of weird randomity and dev-t is about to develop on this one point.

"Because most everybody is thinking and gets bird-dogged onto and fixated with the idea that OT starts from the ground. And OT doesn't start from the ground, it starts from the top of another ladder. So that the public at large is going to have its attention centered on the second ladder and everybody's going to be sweating and working to get them to climb this second ladder and selling this second ladder and talking to them about the second ladder and getting them all whipped up about the second ladder, don't you see? And hell, they can't find any second ladder. There isn't—can't find any ladder at all. Because their attention is not being directed to the first ladder.

"And the first ladder could be called 'cause level.'"

Balancing the use of force and intelligence
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from the Saint Hill New Civilization Series lectures

And what we're doing, actually, so you won't be in the dark, is we're closing out a very long cycle, of a long, losing cycle—tremendous length—of the OT. The cycle of loss, of the OT. And a being now had to come to a point where he believed—and couldn't do otherwise—the only safe place to be was in one of these meat-body civilizations, complete with airplanes, and that that was the more or less winning side of the ledger and there was no real possibility of being free of that economic duress, be—these two-bit games, these accelerated aberrative conditions, as they march forward. There was no going and sitting on a mountaintop quietly for a few thousand years and catching your breath. The fight had been lost, in order words. In other words, a strata and quality and character of life had been lost. That is a defeat.

You don't see any OTs walking around right now. Well, it's very peculiar that they reach almost to modern times—almost to modern times. As you audit pcs, you'll be quite surprised now and then to find one that was OT five hundred years ago.

You look on this normally as something that occurred on the very, very far backtrack, something that occurred in the dimmest beginnings of history, but in actual fact, this is not true at all. These reach right up practically to present time, but losing all the way.

There was no method of retaining and maintaining a stability. ...

And eventually here you sit, and what are you doing here? Well, what you're doing here is you're in a meat body, and you see the airplanes flying around overhead, and you realize that the continuous association with a meat body is just a continuous concatenation of collecting engrams like mad and keying in things like crazy, and that it's the downward spiral with accelerated jets behind it.

What made that condition? How come this took place?

Well, all battles are won by a combination of two elements, and these are force and intelligence. And given enough force, of course, there is no opposing side—everybody hopes. The United States in World War II eventually got up to the idea of a small task force had to practically raise the level of water of the Pacific Ocean before they would make an attack. Tremendous, tremendous force. Tremendous force.

And of course you take something like an atomic bomb that can obliterate an entire country, that is tremendous, tremendous force. And it succeeds in short-term wins—short-term wins. And that is all you ever get from tremendous force is a short-term win, never a long-term win. Never.

The long-term win is achieved by a balance between force and intelligence. Now, intelligence alone in active action is not enough. The wise men of Tibet were just a few years ago driven out of their mountain fortresses by the dumbest infantrymen the world has known for some time. Isn't that interesting? They were infinitely wise and their infinite wisdom brought them total defeat.

So, when you take these two elements, if you are sometime trying to solve the problem of whether you did right or whether you did wrong, take these two elements and look them over in relationship to what you did, and you'll find out that there is an imbalance in any defeat. There was an imbalance of intelligence and force, these two things were out of gear. You're either using all force and practically grasshopper intelligence or you're using monumental intelligence and saying "God will protect me," forgetting at the same time that you were the only god around to do any protecting.

It's sort of pathetic, this OT sitting down on the Vatican steps saying, "God will protect me," when he may very well have started the whole myth. Where does he think he still is?

Now, all of your losses were contributed to by these two elements out of balance. And any coordinated civilization plowing forward, using technology, combining that technology with force, keeping some sort of balance between these two things, can make a monkey out of an OT—literally. There was an implant four galaxies over that taught you, you came from apes. Darwin—that's the whole of the Darwinian theory is implanted there in the course of about a day and everybody bought it. You know, you come up through the mollusk and sloth and ape and all this sort of thing and there's not a damn word of truth in it, see. You see that? Nothing to do with it.

OT® Dissemination Lectures


From the heights of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course and the dawn of the OT levels, comes advanced knowledge with the power to salvage a planet and raise it to a higher plateau.

These are Ron's briefings that provide an OT viewpoint of the application of Scientology at the highest echelons to the social, political and scientific problems: How to reach the reality of any peoples on Earth. What to expect as Operating Thetans move out across the society, and why. Broad programs to de-aberrate the 4th Dynamic at the national or international level and establish bases for making OTs in an aberrated society. In other words, vital knowledge for thetans whose awareness extends across the spectrum of life.

In the history of the universe, technology for handling a planetary population has been lacking, often with catastrophic consequences. But with the monumental LRH advances that occurred at Saint Hill, it became possible to create the first educated OTs in the universe.

And in these lectures, Ron imparts the importance of those educated OTs to leave behind a bridge so others can follow them to the next level.

Discover the blueprint for planetary rehabilitation, Project 80, which delineates the levels of Scientology® knowledge, from Scientology Zero to Scientology Five. Here are the means to communicate Scientology to any reality level on Earth, data from the viewpoint of OT—knowledge crucial to the survival of the 4th Dynamic.

Which makes the Saint Hill New Civilization Series the most important OT lectures ever made available. For here is more than the potentials of OT, here is the very test of OT—the ability to make things go right and how to do it.
