We exist therefore in a rather madly tossing sea, beset by numerous counter
currents.
As we grow we can remove vicious causes that make our problems problems.
Only then can we begin to drop certain programmes as the problems will
cease to exist. But at this writing those problems do exist and holding
them in check are numerous solutions we call programmes.
Where one of our standard programmes fails through lack of recognition
we then see a problem charging in on us demanding crash programming by
higher executives.
When we let uninformed or worse people put in new arbitraries or
solutions that solve no problem we disturb old programmes and soon have
heavy trouble through unnecessary programming. (Watching a new
inexperienced Ad Council propose "programmes" is a painful experience to a
trained and effective executive. These proposed measures look silly because
they confront no real problems of the org and are dangerous because they
will distract the org from correct existing programmes of which the new Ad
Council seems blissfully unaware.)
When an org doesn't know its programmes it can get pretty silly and
deeply in trouble. If it also knows its problems it is fortunate.
But any Scientology org is rich in programmes already proven and tested
and in exact drill. If it just keeps these going it will win even if it
doesn't see the problems.
As it wins the org expands, can afford more assistance, is less under
duress. Then it can begin to examine the problems themselves (still keeping
the solution as a programme) and possibly remove some of the causes of the
actual problem. Only when the problem is gone can one drop a programme.
A Scientology org is best fitted to do this as its staff is going up
tone by processing and is more and more able to confront and see source.
Therefore it eventually can remove the causes of its problems since it can
(a) see the problem and (b) see the bad sources which make the problem.
Until it can see, it is not safe to drop any of the solutions. And as
orgs are a channel or a way in themselves they always will have a bottom
strata of people who cannot yet see the problems and so need explicit
programmes to follow. As the lower strata moves up, a new lower strata, by
expansion, takes its place so there is no real end to programmes until the
day comes when the Universe is sane.
And that's not tomorrow or even the day after.
But we are making steady, relentless progress in that direction. Mainly
because of our programmes, well applied.
