The genus of marriage on the whole track

"The genus of marriage is one of these things that is a big pose on the early track. And that is thetan association. Thetans early on the track very often got the idea that they would mock each other up, you know, as—they would be brothers, or they would be a family or something of the sort, and they would all appear to be related: cousins, sisters, uncles, aunts, mothers, fathers.

Mothers/fathers actually comes later on the track. Earlier it was just thetan brotherhoods."

What is a marriage or relationship?
An article by L. Ron Hubbard from the State of Man Congress lectures.

Because when you're getting married, you're doing something you don't know anything about. Did you ever think of that? Hm, did you ever think about it? That's the one trip, one lifetime sort of a thing, don't you see? And when you try it a couple of times, why, usually you know less about it the second time than you did the first time.

Now, it doesn't say that operating manuals haven't been written for marriages. I know there are several extant, all written by bachelors or people who have not been—like most of the care-of-children-for-the-mother books are always written by bachelors.

Now, marriage is an interesting boat to steer. It's not a third dynamic activity, and yet it is kind of. It generally ceases to be a second dynamic activity but has to remain so.

The genus of marriage is one of these things that is a big pose on the early track. And that is thetan association. Thetans early on the track very often got the idea that they would mock each other up, you know, as—they would be brothers, or they would be a family or something of the sort, and they would all appear to be related: cousins, sisters, uncles, aunts, mothers, fathers.

Mothers/fathers actually comes later on the track. Earlier it was just thetan brotherhoods. And this pretense at association was something that seldom worked out very well because everybody knew they were just pretending and they knew there was no real familial relationship. This falsity or the ideas of this falsity actually continue forward into the modern family. It's very easy to break down a family because there is no relationship in a family except a pretended relationship. Think of it for a moment and you realize you're supporting a thing which can't exist. A thetan was never the daughter of another thetan. No thetan was ever the father of another thetan, no matter what the Good Book says. That's the truth of the matter.

Now, any time you have a relationship which isn't inherent or based on immediate and direct fact, you have to work at it.

Now, I'm not saying that marriage is a false relationship. It isn't. In this society and time, a family is the closest knit, self-perpetuating, self-protecting unit and is necessary economically and otherwise to the society the way it's rigged at this present time. And who destroys marriage, destroys the civilization. That's fairly sure.

A culture will go by the boards if its basic building block, the family, is removed as a valid building block. But this is no reason we should get mawked-up and silly about what the relationship is. The relationship, basically, is a postulated relationship. There is no truth in the relationship. It is a postulated relationship.

And when people stop postulating it, it ceases to exist! And that's what happens to most marriages. People stop mocking up the family unit, and the moment they stop mocking it up, it isn't. You see what happens to marriages?

It isn't the other way around: It isn't that all men are evil, so therefore, contracts such as marriage dissolve usually in infidelity and go all to pieces. That is not true. The reverse is true: that when you have a purely postulated relationship which has no real existence in fact, you have to continue to create it. And a family which doesn't continue to create itself as a family will cease to exist as a family. That's about all you need to know about it.

When I was a little kid, most people in this society at this time had a considerable formula. All over the world people are having trouble with this thing. They're having lots of trouble with this thing because they're running on an automaticity; they think this thing will hang together through no effort of their own. And if it hangs together through no effort of their own, I've never heard of it. It won't.

Success story on the State of Man Congress

"It shifted everything in my life—all my considerations, excuses and non-confront—and it left me just standing there, acknowledging my power as a being."

"I totally changed my viewpoint on responsibility when I listened to the second CD lecture, 'Responsibility', from the State of Man Congress. It was exactly what I needed to hear and I needed to hear it from Ron himself. It shifted everything in my life—all my considerations, excuses and non-confront—and it left me just standing there, acknowledging my power as a being.

"The feeling was quite wonderful and with it came great responsibility and the realization of what exactly I needed to do to handle my life.

"I took a step back and I looked at my life and I asked myself, 'What was I doing?' and all of these non-optimum and non-survival areas came to view. But now I could confront and handle them.

"After listening to this amazing lecture, I know there is hope for me and I have Ron and all the people helping me to thank for that.

"It is a little strange for me now. I feel like I am in a new body or something. People even look at me differently. BUT I can say whole-heartedly that I am using my power for good.

"Thank you for reading my success story and I encourage you to listen to the State of Man Congress as well. This is something for everyone."

—K.O.

The pathway to the highest states for every individual runs past the milestone of Responsibility. LRH's research discovered that if one would attain personal freedom, there factually is no other road. Any other way that seeks to avoid responsibility leads to individuation, lessened reach and diminished power.

A conscientious grasp of the knowledge here not only speeds one's ascent to Clear and OT, it guarantees that one will make it. These lectures, in fact, hold the secret of the dwindling spiral itself, and the keys to reverse it. So fundamental are these principles, that they underlie the technology of the OT® booster L Rundowns, technical province of the highest trained auditors there are, the Class XIIs.

Whether rehabilitating creativity, revitalizing a government or mending a marriage, the State of Man Congress lectures cross many dynamics. Most personally, they are the keys that open one's whole track memory. With the case gains that result when this ability is restored, one knows he will make it all the way to the top. And this is why the State of Man Congress is the bestselling lecture series of all time.

Nine lectures complete with transcripts, glossaries and supplement containing essential LRH writings on overts and withholds, justification, blow-offs, rightness and wrongness, and more.

Also covered by LRH in this series:

How you lost abilities you had in past lives and how to regain them.
