Is life a serious game?  
 

"The idea that it is a world of tooth and claw doesn't work, it doesn't work. It isn't a world of tooth and claw, it's a world of games. And when games get so serious that everybody becomes entirely introverted into the game, he ceases to realize that it is a game but, nevertheless, he is still mixed up in a game."

—L. Ron Hubbard

"The right postulate saved my life..."

"And I knew that I got out of it because I had been listening to tapes about postulates..."

"One day after listening to a Philadelphia Doctorate Course lecture about time and postulates I was on my motorbike and unfortunately a drunk driver chopped me with his car on my side. The impact pushed my bike away and I was suddenly flying in the air. Under "normal" circumstances I would have had no time to do anything to get myself out of this accident; I should have been effect and should have crashed into a window display and gotten severely injured. But when I was in the air I told myself without any misemotion 'Hm! How am I going to get out of this?' And that was it! I landed on the floor almost smoothly and got myself back on my feet and took my bike back home. The people who saw the accident were not able to understand how I managed to get out of it. And I knew that I got out of it because I had been listening to tapes about postulates and that it was exactly what I had done when I was in the air… The right postulate saved my life."

Handling Life with Scientology by L. Ron Hubbard

"The average man is up against problems. He is asking himself, 'How can I make more money? How can I make my wife faithful to me? How can I help my children grow up?' These questions absorb a tremendous quantity of his energy. But he can't do anything about it because he is so immersed in it. So in Scientology processing he resolves these questions, he understands what he's doing, and he turns from a man who is simply a puzzled static being into somebody who is more than that."

There are two distinct divisions in Scientology. The first is philosophic, the second is technical. Under the philosophic heading one discovers the ways and means of forming new ways of life and evaluating or creating standards of livingness and beingness. Scientology concludes and demonstrates certain truths. These truths might be considered to be the highest common denominators of existence itself. They have the aspect of precision observation rather than philosophic hazardings. When treated as precision observations, many results occur. When regarded as philosophic opinions, only more philosophy results.

By this knowingness alone and without processing (individual technical application), it should be understood clearly that a new way of life could be created or an old way of life could be understood and better endured or altered.

Under the technical division we have a long series of developed processes which, applied immediately and directly to life or an organism thereof, produce desirable changes in the conditions of life. This division comprises Applied Scientology or Scientology Applied Philosophy and contains standard technology.

I looked early and long at man to find out what methods he used to survive, how he adapted himself to environments in his attempt at survival, and what I found was that man advanced to the degree that he preserved his spiritual integrity, that he preserved his values, that he remained honest, that he remained decent - and I found that he disintegrated or deteriorated to the degree that he abandoned these things.

The average man is up against problems. He is asking himself, "How can I make more money? How can I make my wife faithful to me? How can I help my children grow up?" These questions absorb a tremendous quantity of his energy. But he can't do anything about it because he is so immersed in it. So in Scientology processing he resolves these questions, he understands what he's doing, and he turns from a man who is simply a puzzled static being into somebody who is more than that.

We see governments and societies desperately trying to help man. They are trying, however, to solve his problems for him, and their efforts to do this have not resulted in any great advance for man.

The real work is to put individuals into a mental condition where he can confront his own problems and solve them - to put him in a position where he can confront life better, where his reaction time is better, where he can identify the factors in his life more easily. And so he looks around, starts solving his own problems and betters his own life. That is an essential difference between Scientology and other efforts to help man.

The Game of Life By L. Ron Hubbard

No matter what else you are doing in life, you are actively involved in a game, whether you know it or not.

What is this game?

Living.

Life is, no matter what else we label it, a game. And the importance of knowing how to play this game is touched upon by here:

"When games conditions are knowing, you can play in any game you want to play.

"And the game is no fun unless you know what game you are playing." —LRH

In the Game of Life lectures, LRH tells you in detail about this game we have been playing for 76 trillion years. And that's a long time to go without having the tech on how to play it.

Just after releasing the book Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought to the broad public, LRH wanted to give a deeper, no-holds-barred briefing about those same basics. So, in August 1956, he met with a group of Scientologists in London and did exactly that - delivering 20 lectures in all - these cover an in-depth description of the Scientology basics like you've never heard before. Not just what they are, but why they are, their origin, their exact anatomy, underlying principles, and of course how you, as a Scientologist, can USE and operate with this data as part of your daily existence.

Some other points you will find out in this series are:

  • What it is the single thing that will transform, overnight, a boring or pointless life into an exciting life?
  • Why is the 6th dynamic (MEST) amongst the most aberrative of dynamics yet at the same time the single most therapeutic dynamic?
  • Find out at what point in a game you take on an opponent's postulates and somatics.
  • Discover the basic reason why a thetan will hold onto a game no matter what.
  • What would happen if you went to the edge of the universe and looked?

Below is synopsis of what LRH covers in each lecture so you can see for yourself:
