were, and are, appreciated. Many thousands contributed in this way and made
us what
we are. Discovery contribution was not however part of the broad picture.

    We will not speculate here on why this was so or  how  I  came  to  rise
above the
bank. We are dealing only in facts and the above is a  fact-the  group  left
to its own
devices would not have evolved Scientology but with  wild  dramatization  of
the bank
called "new ideas" would have wiped it out.  Supporting  this  is  the  fact
that Man has
never before evolved workable mental technology and emphasizing  it  is  the
vicious
technology he did evolve-psychiatry, psychology, surgery,  shock  treatment,
whips,
duress, punishment, etc, ad infinitum.

    So realize that we have climbed out of the mud by whatever good luck and
good
sense, and refuse to sink back into it again. See that  Seven,  Eight,  Nine
and Ten above
are ruthlessly followed and we  will  never  be  stopped.  Relax  them,  get
reasonable about
it and we will perish.

    So  far,  while  keeping  myself  in  complete  communication  with  all
suggestions, I
have not failed on Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten in  areas  I  could  supervise
closely. But it's
not good enough for just myself and a few others to work at this.

    Whenever this control as per Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten has been relaxed
the
whole organizational area has failed. Witness Elizabeth, N.J., Wichita,  the
early
organizations and groups. They crashed only because I no longer  did  Seven,
Eight, Nine
and Ten. Then, when they were all messed up, you saw the  obvious  "reasons"
for
failure. But ahead of that they ceased to deliver and that involved them  in
other
reasons.

    The common denominator of a group is the reactive bank. Thetans  without
banks
have different responses. They only have their banks in common.  They  agree
then only
on bank principles. Person to person the bank is identical. So  constructive
ideas are
individual and seldom get broad agreement in a human  group.  An  individual
must rise
above an avid craving for agreement from a humanoid group  to  get  anything
decent
done. The bank-agreement has been what has made  Earth  a  Hell-and  if  you
were
looking for Hell and found Earth, it would  certainly  serve.  War,  famine,
agony and
disease has been the lot of Man. Right now the great  governments  of  Earth
have
developed the means of frying every Man, Woman  and  Child  on  the  planet.
That is
Bank. That is the  result  of  Collective  Thought  Agreement.  The  decent,
pleasant things
on this planet come from individual actions  and  ideas  that  have  somehow
gotten by the
Group Idea. For that matter, look how we ourselves are attacked  by  "public
opinion"
media. Yet there is no more ethical group on this planet than ourselves.

    Thus each one of us can rise above the domination of the bank and  then,
as a
group of freed beings, achieve freedom and reason. It is only the  aberrated
group, the
mob, that is destructive.

    When you don't do Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten actively, you  are  working
for the
Bank dominated mob. For it  will  surely,  surely  (a)  introduce  incorrect
technology and
swear by it, (b) apply technology as incorrectly as possible, (c)  open  the
door to any
destructive idea, and (d) encourage incorrect application.

    It's the Bank that says the group is all  and  the  individual  nothing.
It's the Bank
that says we must fail.

    So just don't play that game. Do Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten and you will
knock
out of your road all the future thorns.

    Here's an actual example in which a senior executive  had  to  interfere
because of a
pc spin: A Case Supervisor told Instructor A to have Auditor B  run  Process
X on
Preclear C. Auditor B afterwards told Instructor A that  "It  didn't  work".
Instructor A
was weak on Three above and didn't really believe in Seven, Eight, Nine  and
Ten. So
Instructor A told the Case Supervisor "Process X  didn't  work  on  Preclear
C". Now this
strikes directly at each of One to Six  above  in  Preclear  C,  Auditor  B,
Instructor A and
the Case  Supervisor.  It  opens  the  door  to  the  introduction  of  "new
technology" and to
failure.

    What happened here? Instructor A didn't jump down  Auditor  B's  throat,
that's all
that happened. This is what he  should  have  done:  Grabbed  the  Auditor's
report and
looked it over. When a higher executive on this case did so she  found  what
the Case
Supervisor and the rest missed: that Process X increased Preclear C's TA  to
25 TA
divisions for the session but that near session end Auditor B  Qed  and  Aed
with a
