have the effect of rejuvenation on a being, a group or an organization
which has begun to die. Periodic sweep-outs of antiquated and didactic laws
(rather than general concepts and sub-purposes) must be undertaken by a
being, organization, group or race or species. However, such an action must
be carefully done, selecting only those laws or rules which came into being
because of pressure groups or infrequent enemies or which were derived from
no experience. And before throwing any policy away one must carefully
examine its history to see if it is still restraining an enemy or
forwarding some sub-purpose. For throwing away a lot of lessons could also
collapse the forward thrust of the basic purpose which has "gotten this far
for some reason."
SUB-PURPOSES are the purposes of the various sections or parts of the
being, organism, group, race or species which forward the basic purpose.
They must amplify, qualify and/or describe the action or procedure of the
part of the whole in a brief and crisp way so as to hold them in function
in their support of the basic purpose. They could also be called, the
PURPOSE OF A PART OF THE WHOLE, or as we use them, the purpose of a post,
unit, department or an org with a special function. When one hears of the
PURPOSE of his hat or section, unit, department, org or Division, he is
observing the SUB-PURPOSE of a part of the whole organism which is vital to
the action of forwarding the BASIC PURPOSE of the movement. Indeed he may
never know what the BASIC PURPOSE really is and only know the SUB-PURPOSE
of his own hat, section, unit or department. However, by studying the
various SUBPURPOSES of several hats or sections he could probably figure
out the SUB-PURPOSE of the Department and by studying the various SUB-
PURPOSES of the departments of an org he could probably guess at the BASIC
PURPOSE of the whole being or organization or movement. If study of SUB-
PURPOSES either fails to locate any or ends in being unable to relate them
into any large PURPOSE, one is of course studying a disorganized movement.
One can change a SUB-PURPOSE (cautiously indeed) or add parts with new
SUB-PURPOSES, and leave a movement (a) unaffected, (b) increased in scope,
or (c) decreased in size and influence.
One can, up to a point, add Policies on and on, limited only by the
ability to get them known and leave an organization or movement (a)
unaffected, (b) increased in readiness to meet emergencies, or (c)
crippled. The wisdom of the policy and whether or not it was a successful
solution to some actually possible confusion or crisis determines whether
or not it should be added or deleted. Foresight plays a large role in
formulating a SUB-PURPOSE or a Policy. These two are never wholly the
product of chance or experience; indeed they may be 80% wise foresight and
20% experience and still be good useable SUB-PURPOSES or Policies.
Twentieth Century Science sought to discount wisdom entirely and beings and
organizations were educated or developed with no SUB-PURPOSES whatever and
all policies were developed either by clerks, teachers or legislators
inexperienced in any part of life or were taken from past experience only
with no refinement of any wisdom. The failures of governments and systems
and races in the first half of the Twentieth Century were wholesale and the
wars frequent and senseless.
Personal, state, or organizational or social chaos results from adding
parts with no well defined SUB-PURPOSES, enforcing Policies based on rumour
or taken from the data of mere theoreticians in their ivory towers, an
irresponsible press or legislators in their self-interested heads and smoke-
filled rooms. A study of how the pressure groups, clerks, theoreticians and
irresponsible press and duly elected but completely unselected and
uneducated legislators destroyed individualism, states, businesses,
civilizations and races would be only a study of how not to organize and
survive, how to ignore, abandon or discredit all basic purposes, sub-
purposes and successful policies. The scene was one of indescribable chaos
that filled one with protest and dismay. If there was a wrong way to do
things it became the order of the day and youth went into a complete
apathy, purposeless and drifting and the world began to die a little each
day, the mental hospitals became flooded, life ceased to be any fun at all.
Things are not always like this and indeed don't have to be.
Mismanagement or misgovernment of self, an organization, group or state
would then consist of failing to forward the BASIC PURPOSE, not grasping
and specifying SUB-PURPOSES, and not experiencing and formulating policies
to strengthen successful ideas or actions that forward the Basic and Sub-
Purposes and impede ideas or actions that retard them and not recognizing
actual enemies or oppositions or planning and carrying out successful
campaigns to handle them. Failing in any of these actions the individual,
group, organization, state, civilization, race or species will falter, fail
and die.
