"Now,
we Scientologists very often, some
of us, make a slight error. We think
Scientology is totally auditing. Scientology
is not totally auditing. Scientology
is a broad address to life itself.
"I
just received a letter from an auditor
who says, 'I am not working professionally
in Scientology now,' and then goes
on to say that she's running an accounting
business which is succeeding wonderfully
because she's using Scientology in
it. And she's handling all her help
with this and handling all of her
customers with this, and she's getting
along beautifully, and she's straightened
out her home with this. And it's never
occurred to her that she is operating
as a professional Scientologist and
could simply expand that accounting
business of hers to organizational
accounting, with Scientology, to a
level that she hasn't dreamed of yet.
"She
has thought of Scientology as simply
auditingjust auditing a preclear
to better his health. That's what
she's thought of Scientology as. Now
that's an awfully narrow lookan
awfully narrow look. But there are
those of us who do just this and do
no further than this. And that is
all right too, because in order to
run a business with Scientology, or
to conduct yourself as a professional
business Scientologist, you would
have to know auditing and be a very,
very good auditor. Because it's essentially
the action of bringing people into
an awareness of themselves, their
surroundings and you."

Willingness and the power
of choice
An
article by L. Ron Hubbard, from
The Power of Simplicity lectures
Now, if everybody
was a brute and everybody could get through
life by using his two fists, we wouldn't have
any civilization. If the government depended
completely upon its bayonets to enforce its
laws, there would be no government. They are
dealing with a random factor. That factor
is willingness.
All an industry can take
from its employees is the willingness of
the employee to serve. And when that gets
dulled down, it's gone. And no matter how
much force you use, you're not going to
get any work done.
This is something the
great empires of Earth
I don't know,
they're buried someplace. I noticed old,
ragged bones showing through the soil every
now and then which was some great empire
of Earth.
And these great empires
of Earth, one after the other, have failed
to learn this lesson: Man cannot be controlled
by force. Man is controlled only by his
own willingness.
It's a fantastic lesson.
You'll never get anybody who has the power
of hiring Lord-knows-how-many legions convinced
that he might have skipped the recruitment
in the first place if he wanted a decent
state. The legion blunts the willingness.
You can force into position
and situation, people, to the degree that
they are willing to be forced into position
and to cooperate. That willingness is so
tremendous that it is only measurable by
the will to live itself. That is a tremendous
willingness. What it takes to blunt it is
fantastic; but the only thing that ever
blunts it is force. Forceapplication
of force to an individual to overcome the
self-determinism and power of choice of
his own mind. When force is used to overcome
the power of choice of an individual, we
may have the individual moving along a certain
pattern afterwards, but the movement will
become devious, interestingly random and
will then cease. And so do nations run down;
so do they get old.
There is a random factor
at all times amongst people, and that random
factor is the power of choice of the individual.
An individual becomes as well as his power
of choice is restored to him.
It's quite an interesting
thing to just set out with a process which
is determined just to do nothing but restore
a person's power of choice. Now, to give
you a pat process that would do this would
be rather silly. But I can give you a class
of processes that would not be silly.
Let's just go on the
line of decision. Decision itself is not
the topmost bracket of power of choice,
because the word "decision" implies
that something goes before. He has to decide
about something. Therefore this is
a very low-level process. Two things must
exist, or more, to then demand of the individual
a decision amongst them, and so this precludes
that we have a primary-cause situation here.
But the power to postulate
lies through the power to decide. When an
individual cannot decide, it's a certainty
he cannot postulate; that's fairly certain.

The Power of Simplicity
|
"Once
upon a time there was a little thetan. And
he was a happy little thetan and the world
was a simple thing. It was all very, very
simple. And then one day somebody told him
he was simple. And ever since that time
he's been trying to prove that he is not."
L. Ron Hubbard
A thetan in his native state
is utterly simpleand powerful.
But colliding with the seemingly
endless and intricate complexities of living
in the MEST universe, a being can find himself
unable to hold a position, unable to perceive,
unable to duplicate or act as well as he
knows he truly can.
In this series, Ron covers
in detail the factors of simplicity and
complexity, relating them to such Scientology®
fundamentals as creation, confront, communication,
the ARC triangle, the Tone Scale, games,
duplication, confusion and the stable datum
and the basics of education and learning.

and much more, equips one with the wisdom
necessary to create desirable changes in
the conditions of life and to better operate
as an OT, no matter one's case level.
