Thus areas taken purely by force of arms can never be held by force of arms
in the absence of demand for product and thus demand by the area for
occupation and consolidation.

    As we have a product that frees in an ultimate  sense  and  de-aberrates
there is of course an end to the game. But it is so far ahead,  embracing  a
whole universe, that it requires minimal consideration.

    Expansion requires area to expand into. And  we  are  in  no  danger  of
running out of that.

    If we were dependent  as  nations  often  think  they  are  on  boundary
expansion on one planet, or  into  one  planet's  populations  as  companies
think they are, we would have brakes on expansions  due  to  territorial  or
population limitations alone. But  we  are  not  likely  to  encounter  such
barriers for a period  of  time  so  long  we  can  consider  our  expansion
potential as infinite-and are the only organisation  that  honestly  can  so
consider. We are not conquering land in the government sense anyway.







                               OVER-EXPANSION



    All factors, then, in policy are rigged for expansion.

    And this brings about a possibility one can  be  asked  about,  that  of
overexpansion.

    One can "over-expand" by acquiring too much territory too  fast  without
knowing how to handle it. One can conquer  new  territory  as  fast  as  one
wants IF he knows how to handle the situation.

    There are several ways one can "over-expand". They all boil down to over-
extended administration lines in a single administrative unit.

    In this one  must  know  the  principle  on  which  the  org  board  was
originally conceived. It is that of Thetan-Mind-Body-Product.

    If there is a thetan, a mind (organisation potential not a harmful mass)
can be set up, a mind which will  organise  a  body  which  will  produce  a
product.

    If any one of these elements (Thetan-Mind-Body-Product) are missing then
an organisation will fail.

    Man is so aberrated all mental actions seem to him to be  reactive  mind
actions. But there has to be in organisations a  data  and  problem-solution
coordination unit in order to set up a body. (A thetan can do  this  without
a lot of mass, having his memory and perception and intelligence.)  We  have
then an Advisory Council to coordinate acquired data, recognise and  resolve
problems. Above it there has to be a thetan somewhat detached from it.  This
may be a higher mind (Ad Council) operating as a director to  the  lower  Ad
Council.

    The mind must operate to form a body. This  body  is  the  Mest  (Matter
Energy Space and Time) and staff of the organisation.

    This body must produce a product. This in  the  HGC,  for  instance,  is
resolved cases.

    Any smaller part of the whole organisation is also  a  Thetan-Mind-Body-
Product. Often the executive is both thetan and mind but as soon as  traffic
gets too heavy, he must form a  separate  mind  such  as  an  administrative
committee or a personal staff to compose the mind. In such  a  smaller  unit
than the whole org, there is yet a body (the staff and Mest  of  the  unit).
And there must be a specific product. The product sometimes  is  absent  and
sometimes incorrectly assigned but if so the unit won't function.

    Over-expansion occurs only when one tries to handle  the  larger  volume
with the same Thetan-Mind-Body-Product numbers one had before.
