All things depend on communication...
“But let’s get down to communication and space, and we find his communication activity with another being through and across space was his first action which might have been susceptible to future mishmash and aberration.
“Hence, communication is the top, single aberrative button that you can push and push and push, and it’ll run out the whole track.
“Because, all things depend on communication. Communication is the common denominator to all reality. Communication must exist, whatever else exists, or one would never know that anything else existed."
Communication:
Cause to Effect
An article by L. Ron Hubbard
excerpted from the Success Congress lectures
Because nobody else was ever able, really, to get you into trouble; you had to get yourself into trouble. Because of this, then, the communication factor involved in this was from cause to effect.
You have to process a preclear at cause-point. And it was at cause-point that you have to hit, or it’s at cause-point that you have to hit with all processes. You can’t hit at effect-point. If you continue to hit at effect point you’re running, again, a second postulate.
So, we have complete communication as earlier and more powerful than incomplete communication. And we have cause as earlier and prior than effect.
If you can get the idea—this is an erroneous idea—but you get the idea of a thetan, sails into the universe; he has to communicate before he’s communicated to. He has to make himself visible, which is a communication generation, you see; he has to say he’s there one way or the other, by either bringing in a body or throwing out some sparks, or doing something. He has to say he’s there before anybody can communicate back to him. So therefore, all communication is priorly cause—causative communication. And we get complete causative communication as being the button which then undoes all incomplete communications, all effects, and everything else right on up the line.
Because communication is the common denominator to everything else all up the line, you can use it to run out practically anything and everything, anyplace.
An individual’s decision to succumb came about on the day when he decided to register an observation of somebody else’s postulate that the other person had been injured by his communication. He had to decide his own communication had been bad or had been improper, and that it had caused something to happen at the other end he didn’t want to have happen.
He let himself be convinced one way or the other that his communication should not have occurred; that the receipt-point of the communication did not deserve it and should not have had it.
Now, this becomes the single trick—the single aberrative trick which is prior to all other aberrative tricks, and on which all other aberrative tricks played by anybody depends.

Success from listening
to the Congress Lectures
"I have been listening to LRH lectures for a long time. I listened to the PDC lectures 25 times. For about 4 years, my job consisted of driving all over the country and I listened to tapes all the time—at least 5 hours a day for 4 years. So I have listened to lectures!
"But the Golden Age of Knowledge, starting with the chronological study of the Congresses is such a difference. It’s amazing. Getting it in sequence and how it all fits together makes all the difference in the world. It is light-years of difference! In certain policies, LRH talks about getting back to the basics, to what works, and I have found that the Congresses do that. Like the theory of Tone 40—this is where you get the data of it. It has totally changed my whole perspective of what I am going to do in my life—I am going to get going on my own training!
