It's continuous expansion of volume, continuous expansion of organisation,
continuous expansion of demand. Where one lags behind the others one gets
trouble.
It is almost impossible to run a non-expanding organisation with ease.
One gets into financial crises, staff troubles and overwork. Decay has set
in. And fighting it is sure to overwork an executive. The easiest course is
to expand. Then one has the help.
Summary: In understanding policy one must understand its key and that is
expansion.
Only a Scientology organisation has an unlimited horizon. But any
organisation must expand to survive.
The only ways you can "over-expand" are to fail to expand with new
demand and keep pace with it evenly with organisational expansion as well
as numbers.
It is easier to expand than to "remain level". Organisations and units
which do not expand cannot stay level and so contract.
Org executives and personnel are overworked only when they cannot afford
to expand and thus cannot get the help they need to do the work, quite in
addition to there being more problems made by contraction than by
expansion.
Scientology organisations are designed for expansion.
Expansion requires an expansion of all factors involved and when
something expands out of pace with the rest which is not expanding at the
same rate, trouble is caused.
Uniform expansion of demand. Ethics and service into new fields and
areas as well as old areas of operation is needful to trouble-free
activities.
Each member and unit of an organisation has a product which is
different, contributes to the whole product of an organisation.
The ultimate product of Scientology is a universe that is decent and
happy to live in, not degenerated and made miserable by suppressives as it
has been. This is accomplished by the de-aberration of individuals and the
prevention of blunted demand and re-aberration by suppressives and this is
the method of expansion.
If in these early days of Scientology we have any troubles they occurred
by an earlier imbalance of expansion.
Demand was created without handling suppressives which unequal expansion
gave us a backlog of unhandled ethics in the society. All we need do is
catch up our backlog in those organisational functions which were not
expanded when they should have been and all will go smoothly.
Any time you do not expand uniformly with all functions you get an
appearance of over-expansion by some functions. The best answer is not to
cancel the expanded functions which over-reached but to catch them up by
expanding the ones one neglected in support. You will have trouble wherever
you cut back an expansion as that is contraction. The answer, within
reason, is to advance all else to catch up to the expanded portion while
still, more calmly, expanding it.
