Scientology - a Workable System?

By Hari Seldon, Trantor

(Ref: HCO P/L 7 Feb 1965 - Keeping SCN Working)

Hubbard pointed out that Scientology was a workable system and that
'Man has never before evolved workable mental technology ... '.

Looking at the free zone or the the Cof$ today I would say that few
Auditors and even fewer Scientologists really understood and assumed
responsibility (part of the KRC triangle) for what Hubbard said
in HCO P/L 7 Feb 1965, 'Keeping Scientology Working' (See
OEC Vol 0 - page 35-39 and if you look it up, please do
also read HCO P/L 14 Feb 1965 'Safeguarding Technology' on
page 40 and 41 in the same Volume). If you then speak about how
many of these that assumed responsibility for what Hubbard said about
the WHY behind the tech in this famous HCO P/L the whole matter starts
to become ridiculous.

Why is it that so very few human beings have been able to assume
responsibility
for the Technology that Hubbard gave to us???

In this article I will only point out what Hubbard really tried to
get across (and obviously failed to get across in many cases.)

Standard tech

First let's look at what a 'Workable System' is. It has a
lot to do with Hubbard's definition of 'Standard Technology'
or Standard Tech.

'A System that is proper and adequate to achieve a specific
purpose.'

This does not mean that the Scientology Auditing Technology is
necessarily
the best system that can ever be evolved. It also does not mean that
'the Technology' is perfect. It only means that if you know
how to apply it you will get the results it was designed to
achieve.

It does not mean that the technology will inform you before you have
achieved those results, what the reults are. It does not mean that
the student or pc will not have 'Hidden Standards' (see Tech
Dictionary). It only means that if and when the technology is
correctly
applied you will get the results it was designed to create.

The workability of the technology was established early on. Once
Hubbard
learned that the technolgy did work, his only problem (See Problems
of Work) was to get the stable data of the technology across to
Auditors, so they could apply it and get the desired results.

Problems Theory

Now we are getting to the point that so very few people have ever
grasped in Scientology. To grasp this point you need to understand
a few 'Stable Data' that Hubbard presented in his Academy
Course Level 1 (Problems):

1. When you have a problem there is always a 'Prior
Confusion'.

2. To fully handle the problem you need to 'solve
the Prior Confusion.'

If I was Hubbard I would now say: 'I tried to get this idea across
to you. I wrote a book about it (Problems of Work!) I wrote HCOB's
about it! I tried to train you into understanding it! But you
have still not understood! How can I get this Idea across to you?'

Well, ... I am not Hubbard, but I hope to be able to put attention
back onto the subject and maybe revitalise some hopes and purposes
around 1. Having the correct Technology. 2. Knowing the Technology.
3. Knowing it is correct. 4. Teaching correctly the correct
Technology.
5. Applying the Technology. 6. Seeing that the Technology is correctly
applied, etc.

To achieve this I want to point out a few facts (stable data) that
may be necessary to better Understand the situation:

1. Man on planet earth is in a confused state.

2. Any Technology that can handle this state in Man
needs to contain stable data, that will 'bring order into the
confusion'.

3. Hubbard's Auditing Technology does contain stable
data that will bring order into man's confusion if correctly applied.

4. The only reason Hubbard's auditing Technology
does not seem to work is that it has not been correctly applied to
beings it will work on (that is not every human being on this planet.)

5. It is not necessary to Understand why Hubbard's
Auditing Technology works to benefit from it. But it is necessary
to Understand (=ARC) the Technology to get lasting gains from it.
And it is necessary to be able to apply Hubbard's Auditing Technology
to Life to keep on benefiting from it.

It is also necessary to assist in creating the Technology to maintain
and expand the gains available. And it is necessary to expand your
wins from the technology to keep on winning and growing with the
technology.

The WHY

However, you do not need to know why this is so. Just as you
do not need to know 'How come Hubbard came to rise above the bank'
(page 37 OEC Vol 0).

All you need to do is to learn How to apply the Auditing Technology
and trust it. If you do that it can assist you in bringing order into
the confusions of your mind. Once that confusion is handled
you can then understand WHY.

To sort out the confusion of your mind (the problems of your mind
has a 'Prior Confusion' before it), you need the stable data
of the technology of Auditing (or some other workable system, which
I do not know exists on this planet).

Always the same lesson. You need stable data to sort out your
confusion.
Hubbard's auditing Technology with its levels (training) and grades
(auditing) is a workable system that will get the confusion
of your mind handled if correctly applied.

There are, however, some demands put on you to make it possible for
you to benefit from it. You have to learn to Understand the
Technology.
You have to learn to apply the technology, not only in a formal
session,
but also in life

Life and growing KRC.

It is not enough to become a 'Grade 0 release' to be grade
0 for the rest of your life in this Universe. If you do not also
gain the KRC necessary to create your state of release and expand
it into your life (move your Grade 0 release anchor points out into
the higher dynamics = grow your KRC) you will key-in again and become
a weak Valence (= Victim) instead.

The hardest thing there is to do when you deal with Human Beings is
to teach them to grow in Responsibility. Most human beings prefer
to be Victims and 'blame others' (i.e., responsibility as
blame). It is so easy to find faults in what others do and it is so
hard to perform better than those others that the human (confused)
solution is to become a Victim and stay Victim.

I am telling you now: Do not blame the Cof$ because you did not
go OT. Accept responsibility for not being OT today by 1. Having
the correct Technology. 2. Knowing the Technology. 3. Knowing it is
correct. 4. Teaching correctly the correct Technology. 5. Applying
the Technology. 6. Seeing that the Technology is correctly applied,
etc.

We do not need new Technology. But we do need new (better)
Understanding
and new (better) application of the Technology.

The secret behind all these failures is contained in: 'Failing
to grow from the ARC-triangle to the KRC-triangle.'
