The group succeeds only by the efforts of individuals who rise above their
banks
and do their best for their fellows despite the vicious character of groups
and the idiot
nature of collective-think.
Believe in the individual being and work with him and you will find he
is basically
good.
Work only with a group and you work with collective-think which is
basically
bank and therefore evil.
Scientology gives us our first chance to have a real democracy.
By freeing from the worst aberrations each individual, one then achieves
a group
which doesn't react only on bank and which will be, like the individual,
basically good.
For the bank was made to keep people who were not bad from going bad. It
was a
mistake. So it is bad.
We prove daily in Scientology that an individual freed of aberrations
reacts more
decently toward his fellows and that an individual, restimulated, acts
worse; we prove
that the individual under stress of aberration is unreasonable and an
individual freed is
bright.
So we can conclude on actual evidence that the first true democracy will
emerge
when we have freed each individual of the more vicious reactive impulses.
Such beings
can reason, can agree on decent and practical measures and be depended upon
to
evolve beneficial measures.
Until we have done that we will continue to be critical of human
"democracy"-
and any other political philosophy advanced upon Man as a cure for his
ills.
A political philosophy can't audit. We can.
And don't be so sensitive to popular reaction. Just get on with making a
saner
world and it will all come out all right.
