MINISTERIAL COURSE - PART 0/2

**************************************************

This is the Ministerial Course Course Pack as 
issued and delivered in the 1980 - 1985 time frame.

NOTE:  With the following exceptions, all documents
are reproduced exactly as issued.

All italicized or bold characters and underlines

minor spelling errors have been corrected.

**************************************************

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judiasm form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

Note:  Neglect of this Pol ltr has caused great hardship on staffs, has cost 
countless millions and made it necessary in 1970 to engage in an all out 
International effort to restore basic Scientology over the world. Within 5 years 
after the issue of this PL with me off the lines, violation had almost destroyed 
orgs. "Quickie grades" entered in and denied gain to tens of thousands of cases. 
Therefore actions which neglect or violate this Policy Letter are HIGH CRIMES 
resulting in Comm Evs on ADMINISTRATORS and EXECUTIVES. It is not "entirely a 
tech matter" as its neglect destroys orgs and caused a 2 year slump. IT IS THE 
BUSINESS OF EVERY STAFF MEMBER to enforce it


                                ALL LEVELS

                        KEEPING SCIENTOLOGY WORKING
                     HCO Sec or Communicator Hat Check
                     on all personnel and new personnel
                               as taken on.

   We have some time since passed the point of achieving uniformly workable
technology.

   The only thing now is getting the technology applied.

   If you can't get the technology applied then you can't deliver what's 
promised. It's as simple as that. If you can get the technology applied, you can 
deliver what's promised.

   The only thing you can he upbraided for by students or pcs is "no results".
Trouble spots occur only where there are "no results". Attacks from governments 
or monopolies occur only where there are "no results" or "bad results".

   Therefore the road before Scientology is clear and its ultimate success is 
assured if the technology is applied.

   So it is the task of the Assn or Org Sec, the HCO Sec, the Case Supervisor, the D of P, the D of T and all staff members to get the correct technology applied.

   Getting the correct technology applied consists of.

   One:    Having the correct technology.

   Two:    Knowing the technology.

   Three:  Knowing it is correct.

   Four:   Teaching correctly the correct technology.

   Five:   Applying the technology.

   Six:    Seeing that the technology is correctly applied.

   Seven:  Hammering out of existence incorrect technology.

   Eight:  Knocking out incorrect applications.



                                    - 1 -


   Nine:   Closing the door on any possibility of incorrect technology.

   Ten:    Closing the door on incorrect application.

   One above has been done.

   Two has been achieved by many.

   Three is achieved by the individual applying the correct technology in a
proper manner and observing that it works that way.

   Four is being done daily successfully in most parts of the world.

   Five is consistently accomplished daily.

   Six is achieved by instructors and supervisors consistently.

   Seven is done by a few but is a weak point.

   Eight is not worked on hard enough.
   Nine is impeded by the "reasonable" attitude of the not quite bright.

   Ten is seldom done with enough ferocity.

   Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten are thc only places Scientology can bog down in
any area.

   The reasons for this are not hard to find. (a) A weak certainty that it works 
in Three above can lead to weakness in Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten. (b) Further, 
the not-too-bright have a bad point on the button of Self-Importance. (c) The 
lower the IQ, the more the individual is shut off from the fruits of 
observation. (d) The service facs of people make them defend themselves against 
anything they confront good or bad and seek to make it wrong. (e) The bank seeks 
to knock out the good and perpetuate the bad.

   Thus, we as Scientologists and as an organization must be very alert to 
Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten.

   In all the years I have been engaged in research I have kept my comm lines 
wide open for research data. I only once had the idea that a group could evolve 
truth. A third of a Century has thoroughly disabused me of that idea. Willing as 
I was to accept suggestions and data, only a handful of suggestions (less than 
twenty) had long run value and none were major or basic; and when I did accept 
major or basic Suggestions and used them, we went astray and I repented and 
eventually had to "eat crow".

   On the other hand there have been thousands and thousands of suggestions and 
writings which, if accepted and acted upon, would have resulted in the complete
destruction of all our work as well as the sanity of pcs. So I know what a group 
of people will do and how insane they will go in accepting unworkable 
"technology". By actual record the percentages are about twenty to l00,000 that 
a group of human beings will dream up bad technology to destroy good technology. 
As we could have gotten along without suggestions, then, we had better steel 
ourselves to continue to do so now that we have made it. This point will, of 
course, he attacked as "unpopular", "egotistical" and "undemocratic". It very 
well may be. But it is also a survival point. And I don't see that popular 
measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for Man but push him 
further into the mud. Currently, popularity endorses degraded novels, self-
abnegation has filled the South East Asian jungles with stone idols and corpses, 
and democracy has given us inflation and income tax.

   Our technology has not been discovered by a group. True, if the group had not
supported me in many ways I could not have discovered it either. But it remains 
that if in its formative stages it was not discovered by a group, then group 
efforts, one can safely assume, will not add to it or successfully alter it in 
the future. I can only say this now that if is done. There remains, of course, 
group tabulation or co-ordination of what has been done, which will valuable-
only so long as it does not seek to alter basic principles and basic 
applications.

   The contributions that were worth while in this period of forming the 
technology were help in the form of friendship, of defense, of organization, of 
dissemination, of application, of advices on results and of finance. These were 
great contributions and


                                   - 2 -


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
hank. 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, Nina 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 as 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


                                    - 3 -


cognition and abandoned Process X while it still gave high TA and went off running one of Auditor B's own manufacture, which nearly spun Preclear C. Auditor B's IQ on examination turned out to be about 75. Instructor A was found to have huge ideas of how you must never invalidate anyone, even a lunatic. The Case Supervisor was found to be "too busy with admin to have any time for actual cases".

   All right, there's an all too typical example. The Instructor should have done Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten. This would have begun this way. Auditor B: "That process X didn't work." Instructor A: "What exactly did you do wrong?" Instant attack. "Where's your auditor's report for the session? Good. Look here, you were getting a lot of TA when you stopped Process X. What did you do?" Then the PC wouldn't have come close to a spin and all four of these would have retained certainty.

   In a year, I had four instances in one small group where the correct process
recommended was reported not to have worked. But on review found that each one
had (a) increased the TA, (b) had been abandoned, and (c) had been falsely reported as unworkable. Also, despite this abuse, in each of these four cases the recommended, correct process cracked the case. Yet they were reported as not having worked!

   Similar examples exist in instruction and these are all the more deadly as every time instruction in correct technology is flubbed, then the resulting error, uncorrected in the auditor, is perpetuated on every pc that auditor audits thereafter, So Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten are even more important in a course than in supervision of cases.

   Here's an example A rave recommendation is given a graduating student "because he gets more TA on pcs than any other student on the course'" Figures of 435 TA divisions a session are reported "Of course his model session is poor but it's just a knack he has" is also included in the recommendation. A careful review is undertaken because nobody at levels 0 to IV is going to get that much TA on pcs. It is found that this student was never taught to read an E-Meter dial' And no instructor observed his
handling of a meter and it was not discovered that he "overcompensated" nervously, swinging the TA 2 or 3 divisions beyond where it needed to go to place the needle at "set". So everyone was about to throw away standard processes and model session because this one student "got such remarkable TA". They only read the reports and listened to the brags and never looked at this student. The pcs in actual fact were making slightly less than average gain, impeded by a rough model session and misworded
processes. Thus, what was making the pcs win (actual Scientology) was hidden under a lot of departures and errors.

   I recall one student who was squirreling on an Academy course and running a lot of off-beat whole track on other students after course hours. The academy students were in a state of electrification on all these new experiences and weren't quickly brought under control and the student himself never was given the works on Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten so they stuck. Subsequently, this student prevented another squirrel from being straightened out and his wife died of cancer resulting from physical abuse. A
hard, tough instructor at that moment could have salvaged two squirrels and saved the life of a girl. But no. students had a right to do whatever they pleased.

   Squirreling (going off into weird practices or altering Scientology) only comes about from non-comprehension. Usually the non-comprehension is not of Scientology but some earlier contact with an off-beat humanoid practice which in its turn was not understood.

   When people can't get results from what they think is standard practice, they can be counted upon to squirrel to some degree. The most trouble in the past two years came from orgs where an executive in each could not assimilate straight Scientology. Under instruction in Scientology they were unable to define terms or demonstrate examples of principles. And the orgs where they were got into plenty of trouble. And worse, it could not be straightened out easily because neither one of these people could or
would duplicate instructions. Hence, a debacle resulted in two places, directly traced to failures of instruction earlier. So proper instruction is vital. The D of T and his Instructors and all Scientology Instructors must be merciless in getting Four, Seven, Eight. Nine and Ten into effective action. That one student, dumb and impossible though he may seem and of no use to anyone, may yet some day be the cause of untold upset because nobody was interested enough to make sure Scientology got home to him.

   With what we know now, there is no student we enroll who cannot be properly trained. As an  instructor, one should be very alert to slow progress and should turn the


                                     - 4 -


sluggards inside out personally. No system will do it, only you or me with our sleeves rolled up can crack the back of bad studenting and we can only do it on an individual student, never on a whole class only. He's slow = something is awful wrong. Take fast action to correct it. Don't wait until next week. By then he's got other messes stuck to him. If you can't graduate them with their good sense appealed to and wisdom shining, graduate them in such a state of shock they'll have nightmares if they
contemplate squirreling. Then experience will gradually bring about Three in them and they'll know better than to chase butterflies when they should be auditing.

   When somebody enrolls, consider he or she has joined up for the duration of the universe -- never permit an "open-minded" approach. If they're going to quit let them quit fast. If they enrolled, they're aboard, and if they're aboard, they're here on the same terms as the rest of us -- win or die in the attempt. Never let them be half-minded about being Scientologists. The finest organizations in history have been tough, dedicated organizations. Not one namby-pamby punch of panty-waist dilettantes have
ever made anything. It's a tough universe. The social veneer makes it seem mild. But only the tigers survive -- and even they have a hard time. We'll survive because we are tough and are dedicated. When we do instruct somebody properly he becomes more and more tiger. When we instruct half-mindedly and are afraid to offend, scared to
enforce, we don't make students into good Scientologists and that let's everybody down. When Mrs. Pattycake comes to us to be taught, turn that wandering doubt in her eye into a fixed, dedicated glare and she'll win and we'll all win. Humour her and we all die a little. The proper instruction attitude is, "You're here so you're a Scientologist. Now we're going to make you into an expert auditor no matter what happens. We'd rather have you dead than incapable"

   Fitting that into the economics of the situation and lack of adequate time and you see the cross we have to bear.

   But we won't have to bear it forever. The bigger we get the more economics and time we will have to do our job. And the only things which can prevent us from getting that big fast are areas in from One to Ten. Keep those in mind and we'll be able to grow. Fast. And as we grow our shackles will be less and less. Failing to keep One to Ten, will make us grow less.

   So the ogre which might eat us up is not the government or the High Priests. It's our possible failure to retain and practice our technology.

   An Instructor or Supervisor or Executive must challenge with ferocity instances of "unworkability". They must uncover what did happen, what was run and what was done or not done.

   If you have One and Two, you can only acquire Three for all by making sure of all the rest.

   We're not playing some minor game in Scientology. It isn't cute or something to do for lack of something better.

   The whole agonized future of this planet, every Man, Woman and Child on it, and your own destiny for the next endless trillions of years depends on what you do here and now with and in Scientology.

   This is a deadly serious activity. And if we miss getting out of the trap now, we may never again have another chance.

   Remember, this is a our first chance to do so in all the endless trillions of years of the past. Don't muff it now because it seems unpleasant or unsocial to do Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten.

   Do them and we'll win.

                       HCO POLICY LETTER OF 14 FEBRUARY 1965
                       (Reissued on 7 June 1967, with the word
                       "instructor" replaced by "supervisor".)


                             SAFEGUARDING TECHNOLOGY


	For some years we have had a word "squirreling". It means altering 
Scientology, off-beat practices. It is a bad thing. I have found a way to 
explain why. 

	Scientology is a workable system. This does not mean it is the best 
possible system or a perfect system. Remember and use that definition. 
Scientology is a workable system.

	In fifty thousand years of history on this planet alone, Man never evolved 
a workable system. It is doubtful if, in foreseeable history, he will ever 
evolve another.

	Man is caught in a huge and complex labyrinth. To get out of it requires 
that he follow the closely taped path of Scientology.

	Scientology will take him out of the labyrinth. But only if he follows the 
exact markings in the tunnels.

	It has taken me a third of a century in this lifetime to tape this route 
out.

	It has been proven that efforts by Man to find different routes came to 
nothing. It is also a clear fact that the route called Scientology does lead out 
of the labyrinth. Therefore it is a workable system, a route that can be 
traveled.

	What would you think of a guide who, because his party said it was dark 
and the road rough and who said another tunnel looked better, abandoned the 
route he knew would lead out and led his party to a lost nowhere in the dark. 
You'd think he was a pretty wishy-washy guide.

	What would you think of a supervisor who let a student depart from 
procedure the supervisor knew worked. You'd think he was a pretty wishy-washy 
supervisor.

	What would happen in a labyrinth if the guide let some girl stop in a 
pretty canyon and left her there forever to contemplate the rocks? You'd think 
he was a pretty heartless guide. You'd expect him to say at least, "Miss, those 
rocks may be pretty, but the road out doesn't go that way."

	All right, how about an auditor who abandons the procedure which will make 
his preclear eventually clear just because the preclear had a cognition?

	People have following the route mixed up with "the right to have their own
ideas." Anyone is certainly entitled to have opinions and ideas and cognitions-
so long as these do not bar the route out for self and others.

	Scientology is a workable system. It white tapes the road out of the 
labyrinth. If there were no white tapes marking the right tunnels, Man would 
just go on wandering around and around the way he has for eons, darting off on 
wrong roads, going in circles, ending up in the sticky dark, alone.

	So when you see somebody having a ball getting everyone to take peyote 
because it restimulates prenatals, know he is pulling people off the route. 
Realize he is squirreling. He isn't following the route.

	Scientology is a new thing-it is a road out. There has not been one. Not 
all the salesmanship in the world can make a bad route a proper route. And an 
awful lot of bad routes are being sold. Their end product is further slavery, 
more darkness, more misery.

	Scientology is the only workable system Man has. It has already taken 
people toward higher IQ., better lives and all that. No other system has. So 
realize that it has no competitor.

	Scientology is a workable system. It has the route taped. The search is 
done. Now the route only needs to be walked.

	So put the feet of students and preclears on that route. Don't let them 
off of it no matter how fascinating the side roads seem to them. And move them 
on up and out.

	Squirreling is today destructive of a workable system.

                           HCO POLICY LETTER OF 17 JUNE 1970

Remimeo
Applies to all                        URGENT AND
SHs and                               IMPORTANT
Academies

Franchises
 
                                 TECHNICAL DEGRADES

                        (This PL and HCO PL Fob 7,1965 must
                        be made part of every study pack as the
                        first items and must be listed on
                        checksheets.)


Any checksheet in use or in stock which carries on it any degrading statement
must be destroyed and issued without qualifying statements.

Example: Level 0 to IV Checksheets SH carry "A. Background Material-This section is included as an historical background, but has much interest and value to the student. Most of the processes are no longer used, having been replaced by more modern technology. The student is only required to read this material and ensure he leaves no misunderstood." This heading covers such vital things as TRs, Op Pro by Dup! The statement is a falsehood.

These checksheets were not approved by myself, all the material of the Academy
and SH courses IS in use.

Such actions as this gave us "Quickie Grades", ARC Broke the Field and
downgraded the Academy and SH Courses.

A condition of TREASON or cancellation of certificates or dismissal and a full
investigation of the background of any person found guilty, will be activated in the case of anyone committing the following HIGH CRIMES.

1.   Abbreviating an official Course in Dianetics and Scientology so as to lose the full theory processes and effectiveness of the subjects.

2.   Adding comments to checksheets or instructions labeling any material
"background" or "not used now" or "old" or any similar action which will result in the student not knowing, using, and applying the data in which he is being trained.

3.   Employing after 1 Sept 1970 any checksheet for any course not authorized
by myself and the SO Organizing Bureau Flag.

4.  Failing to strike from any checksheet remaining in use meanwhile any such
comments as "historical", "background", "not used", "old", etc. or VERBALLY STATING IT TO STUDENTS.

5.   Permitting a pc to attest to more than one grade at a time on the pc's own
determinism without hint or evaluation.

6.  Running only one process for a grade between 0 to IV.

7.   Failing to use all processes for a level.

8.   Boasting as to speed of delivery in a session, such as "I put in Grade Zero in 3 minutes." Etc.


                                    - 1 -


9.   Shortening time of application of auditing for financial or labor saving
considerations.

10. Acting in any way calculated to lose the technology of Dianetics and Scientology to use or impede its use or shorten its materials or its application.

REASON: The effort to get students through courses and get pcs processed in orgs was considered best handled by reducing materials or deleting processes from grades. The pressure exerted to speed up student completions and auditing completions was mistakenly answered by just not delivering.

The correct way to speed up a student's progress is by using 2 way comm and
applying the study materials to students.

The best way to really handle pcs is to ensure they make each level fully before
going on to the next and repairing them when they do not.

The puzzle of the decline of the entire Scientology network in the late 60s 
is entirely answered by the actions taken to shorten time in study and in 
processing by deleting materials and actions.

Reinstituting full use and delivery of Dianetics and Scientology is the answer 
to any recovery.

The product of an org is well taught students and thoroughly audited pcs. When
the product vanishes, so does the org. The orgs must survive for the sake of 
this planet.

MINISTERIAL COURSE - PART 2/2

**************************************************

This is the Ministerial Course Course Pack as 
issued and delivered in the 1980 - 1985 time frame.

NOTE:  With the following exceptions, all documents
are reproduced exactly as issued.

All italicized or bold characters and underlines
have been omitted from this reproduction.  Only 
minor spelling errors have been corrected.

**************************************************

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judiasm form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

004  PAB No. 32  7 AUG 1954  Why Doctor of Divinity 



From: L. RON HUBBARD                     Through: Hubbard Communications Office 
                                         163, Holland Park Avenue, London, W.11 



                     PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR'S BULLETIN No. 32


                              7th August 1954


                          WHY DOCTOR OF DIVINITY?


	There has been some stir amongst auditors concerning the fact that 
Scientology has allied itself with the Church of American Science, why a Church 
of Scientology has come into existence and why auditors qualified by training 
and personal attainments are applying for and have received ordination as 
ministers in these churches.

	To some this seems mere opportunism, to some it would seem that 
Scientology is simply making itself bulletproof in the eyes of the law, and to 
some it might appear that any association with religion is a reduction of the 
ethics and purposes of Scientology itself. The broad majority of those 
interested have accepted this step, but not all have entirely understood it.

	First, let me briefly take up with you the history of knowledge on this, 
our planet Earth, in the last three and one half millenia. At the beginning of 
our written history there was only one trace of workable knowledge which had 
been handed down from pie-historic times. This was contained in the Vedic hymns. 
The Vedic peoples are directly responsible for that principle known to us in 
Scientology as the Cycle of Action. The invaluable observation that birth 
proceeded into growth, that growth proceeded into an unchanging state and that 
this unchanging state then proceeded into decay and finally concluded with 
death, gives to us in Scientology our create-survive-destroy curve. Although it 
was not originally apparent that our dynamic principle of survive was an 
inherent part of this cycle of action, the usability of survive was discovered 
some time ago to be materially expanded by the recognition of the beginning and 
end of the cycle of action curve. Here we find a principle extended to us from a 
religion. The Vedic hymns are religious hymns. Yet the material in them contains 
all that is to be found in the works of Charles Darwin and even in the works 
used today by nuclear physicists. A survey of these hymns as they are now 
written and available in your local library would astonish you. It demonstrates 
clearly that our earliest indebtedness was to a religion.

	The next single most important philosophic advance within our written 
history was accomplished by Gautama Sakyamuni. This work was part of a religion 
known as the Dharma. The Dharma, existing some time before the advent of 
Gautama, is a religion preached by individuals known as Buddhas. The Western 
world knows this as Buddhism and variously believes it to be a superstition or 
idolatrous practice or believes that it was founded by a man named Buddha, none 
of which are true. A Buddha is simply one who has attained Bodhi. A Bodhi is 
"one who has attained an ideal state of intellectual and ethical perfection by 
purely physical means". There have been many Buddhas and there are expected to 
be many more.

	A very cursory glance at the Dhanna discovers that it embraces these 
facts. "All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on 
our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts." "By oneself evil is done; by 
oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone; by oneself one is purified. 
Purity and impurity belong to oneself; no one can purify another." "You yourself 
must make an effort; the Buddhas are only preachers. The thoughtful who enter 
the way are freed from the bondage of sin." "He who does not rouse himself when 
it is time to rise, who, though young and strong, is full of sloth, whose will 
and thoughts are weak, that lazy and idle man will never find the way to 
enlightenment." "Strenuousness is the path of immortality, sloth the path 


       - 2 - 


of death. Those who are strenuous do riot die; those who are slothful are as if 
dead already."

	In the "Surangama Sutra" giving a discourse to one Ananda, Gautama said, 
"If you simply do not follow after these twelve notions of conditioning 
phenomena, namely: motion and stillness, separation and contact, variability and 
constancy, appearing and disappearing, passing or impenetrability, brightness 
and darkness, or should ignore any pair of them you will be freed from bondage 
to all mental contaminations."

	Although the Dharma does not give and does not contain, as it is handed 
down to us, any real or workable methodology to accomplish the state of Bodhi, 
it cleaves very strongly to a scientific rationale which, coming to us from two 
and one half millenia ago, is startling in view of the fact that it is more 
delineative, more exact, more comprehensive and more comprehensible than any and 
all psychological doctrine as known to us in this Twentieth Century.

	Here is an amazing body of scientific-philosophical-religious truth. These 
texts written about 600 B.C. outline a scientific religion of compassion and 
magnitude.

	What has been the fate of the Dharma in these past centuries? What mark 
has it left upon Earth? The Dharma rose in an Asia enslaved by animism, 
superstition, idolatry, cannibalism and slavery. It was a barbaric world in 600 
B.C. Gautama Buddha and his handful of followers, pretending nothing to the 
supernatural, using only wisdom, teachings and the technologies of civilization, 
spread through India the doctrines of the Dharma and brought to these hundreds 
of millions a much greater civilization than they had known. Penetrating into 
China, the Buddhist priests spread civilization before them. Penetrating into 
Japan, they taught the Japanese to read and write, to weave and sew, until two-
thirds of the Earth's population had attained higher levels of wisdom. Spreading 
westward, the Dharma came into the Middle East and there presented its message 
of "love thy neighbor" and general compassion for life. And the parables of 
Gautama Buddha were re-expressed with some differences and additions to spread 
westward again as Christianity. And today, the entire western civilization lies 
under the spell, if at a lower intellectual level, of the teachings of the 
Dharma.

	You are left to conclude what you will concerning the actual foundation of 
religion on this planet and of the factual structure underlying Christian 
churches. Our only concern here is with the fact that religion is basically a 
philosophic teaching designed to better the civilization into which it is 
taught. Backed fully by the precedent of all the ages concerning teachings, a 
Scientologist has a better right to call himself a priest, a minister, a 
missionary, a doctor of divinity, a faith healer or a preacher than any other 
man who bears the insignia of religion of the western world. And remember that 
it is precedent which masters the opinion of multitudes and nations.

	Why should Scientology ally itself with religion or use the word religion 
in connection with its philosophy?

	There are many, many reasons. Amongst them is that a society accords to 
men of the church an access not given to others. Prisons, hospitals, and 
institutions, and those who manage them, cannot do otherwise than welcome men of 
the church. We are talking now about more than simply expediency or protection 
under law. We are talking about urgency indeed. For to my hand is a document 
written to me by one of our auditors concerning a woman who had remained 
senseless for three months following an accident. Her husband was desperate and 
desired a Scientologist to do what he could to return this woman to 
consciousness. The Scientologist did so and made excellent progress simply by 
putting the woman into communication by hand pressures. Although she could not 
speak, she could yet express herself and respond and even do mock-ups. The 
terrible condition of her body bettered and when she was returning to the world 
of speech and action, the medical doctor in charge of the hospital who 
heretofore had granted grudgingly, on the husband's persuasion, 


       - 3 - 



interviews between the Scientologist and the patient, seeing the improvement, 
turned on the Scientologist and forbade him to touch the patient or see the 
patient or have anything more to do with the patient even though he could find 
nothing in the case but improvement and although no incident of any kind other 
than improvement had occurred. The Scientologist was turned out of the hospital 
and a few weeks afterwards the woman, relapsing into the apathy of 
unconsciousness, died. We will not charge this medical doctor with murder. We 
can only charge him with ignorance and barbarism. For we live today in what is 
at best, so far as social usages are concerned, a barbaric society. Those who 
profess to heal more often than not exist to collect. Those in charge of the 
insane are little better themselves than their patients. We live in a society 
where dreadful and terrible weapons and controls are commonplace, yet which is 
without many of the benefits of compassion, mercy and charity.

	If we in Scientology had to hand only the weapon of better knowledge, if 
we had no technologies, if we could not-other than give him wisdom and hope-make 
any man well, we could still take what we know about life and with that as our 
message effect a wide and compelling influence upon the civilization of our 
times. For any message carried forward to a people which gives them hope cannot 
but reflect to the betterment of their culture.

	But we have more than a message. We have more than a handful of axioms or 
explanations of behavior. We have in this year of 1954 processes which, even 
when worked upon groups, produce en masse a state of beingness which 2500 years 
ago was being groped for by the select few. We have more command over the 
phenomena of life than any have ever had before.

	Were we to accept our rightful role, were we to accomplish our teachings 
and deliver to our culture this bettered state of beingness, we would have 
changed at least the entire pattern of the western world.

	If we can accomplish psychotherapy, this does not mean that we are 
psychotherapists. If we can accomplish better communications in business, this 
does not mean we are business specialists. It may be that we could conceive 
ourselves as emissaries to a barbarism grown lawless in the possession of 
weapons too powerful for the understanding of their wielders.

	In another time, in another place, those men (the Buddhas) responsible for 
what western culture calls their religion, called themselves priests. I do not 
see, then, any inconsistency of any kind in the issuance to those well-schooled 
and well-skilled in Scientology the degree of Doctor of Divinity as a. passport 
into those areas where they are needed. Only a barbaric minister is a "Man of 
God". In all enlightened religions such men are called "Men of Wisdom".

                                  ---------- 

	I do not mean to tell you that Scientology is an extension of the Dharma, 
or that the forecasts of the Tibetans concerning the western world are now 
coming true, or that you should embrace Asiatic philosophy, or even that the 
efforts of the Buddhas and the Scientologists are comparable. I am telling you 
this mainly because western civilization is extremely ignorant of its sources 
and because these facts, no matter how true, are probably very little known in 
America and Europe. And I am telling you this to dispel some of your shyness and 
to increase your boldness and overtness where the society itself is concerned. 
No door need be closed to you, nor need you apologize should you accept through 
the Church of American Science or the Church of Scientology any degree or title 
for which you are qualified. Western civilization is engaged in a worship of 
superstition, the supernatural and the miraculous even as other nations long 
ago. Its only other worship is that of the machine. Where else could men and 
women of compassion and skill serve better, and what else should they call 
themselves but Teachers of Wisdom?

                             and Religious Practice" Revised)


	Scientology is a religion by its basic tenets, practice, historical 
background and by the definition of the word "religion" itself. The following 
will help clarify the philosophical and practical aspects of religion.

	Religious practice implies ritual, faith-in, doctrine based on a catechism 
and a creed.

	Religious philosophy implies study of spiritual manifestations; research 
on the nature of the spirit and study on the relationship of the spirit to the 
body; exercises devoted to the rehabilitation of abilities in a spirit.

	Scientology is a Religious philosophy in its highest meaning as it brings 
man to Total Freedom and Truth. Our Confessional relieves the being of the 
encumbrances which keep his awareness as a being limited to the physical aspects 
of life.

	Scientology is also a Religious practice in that the Church of Scientology 
conducts basic services such as Sermons at Church meetings, Christenings, 
Weddings and Funerals.

	Scientology does not conflict with other Religions or Religious Practices 
as it clarifies them and brings understanding of the spiritual nature of man.

	Scientology has amongst its members people of all the major faiths, 
including many priests, bishops and other ordained communicants of the major 
faiths.

	Scientology's closest spiritual ties with any other religion are with 
Orthodox (Hinayana) Buddhism with which it shares an historical lineage. But 
even here the relationship is based mainly on friendship and the recognition of 
the Being as a Spirit rather than on any organizational ties.

                                TO A ROMAN CATHOLIC


	In Ireland, where we had an office for some years, the problem of 
processing persons of the Catholic faith was thoroughly worked out and the 
Church did not consider itself interested in the matter of auditing Roman 
Catholics and did not restrain any from being audited when Roman Catholics asked 
permission to be. Indeed Scientology is closer to the "Faculty Psychology" of 
the Church in the sixteenth century than modem psychology is. Modern psychology 
is not accepted by the Church because it considers man to be an animal with no 
soul. Scientology not only accepts but can prove than man does have a soul. 
Saint Thomas Aquinas is an early forerunner of Scientology. Scientology is not 
an heretic religion and demands no belief or faith and thus is not in conflict 
with faith. Several monsignors of the Church have been interested in Scientology 
and have approved of our activities. The late Pope Pius was an enemy of 
psychoanalysis but was heard to express a neutral attitude toward Scientology. 
He once assisted us in handling a government matter in the United States.

	All that processing requires is that you obtain a better reality on your 
environment and all its drills are aimed at this. Thus it has no conflict.

	Just as your religion would not forbid you to obtain a better command over 
a typewriter, so it could not be expected to forbid you to obtain a better 
command over your office, staff, or home. There is no conflict here.

	It is interesting that in nearly ten years of public presence, the 
materialistic sciences have often rapped at Scientology (Communism is a violent 
foe of ours) but never once in any country including Ireland has the Roman 
Catholic Church raised its voice against us.

Remimeo

                        HISTORICAL PRECEDENCE OF ETHICS

	One of the early codes of regulations and right conduct is contained in 
the following article (about 2500 years ago in India).

	More importantly, the regulations quoted here are the direct forerunner of 
our own Ethics system.

	This is of interest in event of any challenge of the validity and 
religious nature of our Ethics system.

	This well written summary is taken from the 1965 Buddhist Annual.






Matters Judicial
                                                T. H. Perera


	The Vinaya Piaka, in particular the Culla- vagga, contains the rules of conduct for the purity of the monk-life. The Buddha enacted these rules only when a moral lapse on the part of a disciple was brought to His notice. 

	These rules of conduct are intended for the rehabilitation of an erring 
monk rather than to punish him. The rules (227) are known as: morality 
consisting in restraint, with regard to the monk-rules. Except for the four 
major offences called Prjik (defeated), which entail on the offender the 
expulsion forthwith from the Order, all the infringements of monastic conduct 
could be atoned for in the manner prescribed in the Vinaya Pitaka.

	These infringements of monastic rules are classified according to their 
ascending order of gravity into: Dukkat, Thullaccaya, Prjik.

	For instance, suppose bhikkhu A entertains displeasure towards bhikkhu B, 
notices a new robe belonging to B, and maliciously hides it causing pain of mind 
to B, then A has commit-ted a dukkat. if he maliciously causes damage to a new 
robe belonging to B, he has committed a thullaccaya. if he steals a new robe 
belonging to B, he has committed a parajik. The same gradation applies to 
injury to person: simple hurt, grievous hurt, murder.

	It must be emphasized here that the Buddha did not consider Himself as a 
Supreme Law giver, nor did He entertain the suggestion of a successor. He passed 
away leaving behind the Teaching and Discipline as successor, counsellor  and 
guide.

	After the Buddha's demise, the Elder Ganak  Moggallna raised the 
question of a successor.  Ananda told him that the Ptimokkha rules were the 
successor and guide. It is interesting to  note here that the time-honoured 
custom of  bhikkhus meeting together, once a fortnight,  for the recital of the 
Ptimokkha rules in order to seek remission for any infringements (lesser) of 
the monastic rules, and thus establish their  purification, dates back to this 
reply.

	The Vinaya Piaka, apropos the rules of Discipline, permeates, is pregnant 
with and redolent of the demands of democracy. Every Ecclesiastical Act is 
reinforced with the spirit of democracy-a very significant fact, which will be 
appreciated as the subject is developed here.

	One more significant matter: the decisions of the Ecclesiastical Court with regard to capital offences such as Nissaya-Jeamma which carries a period of surveillance on the offender, Pabb janya-kamma which is temporary removal of the delinquent monk from the rma, Prjika which is instant expulsion of the transgressor from the Order-these decisions received the fiat of the King's Court, and were duly put into 



MATTERS JUDICIAL                     - 2 - 


execution,

  The Ecclesiastical can be classified under four categories:

	Disciplinary action taken for the violation of one or more of the 
Patimokkha rules (monastic etiquette).

	Procedure adopted at the hearing of an alleged offence by a monk, and the 
passing of sentence if the offender is found guilty.

  Conduct of monks while serving a sentence for moral delinquency.

  The restitution of the rights and privileges which a monk lost while under 
surveillance, or removal from an rma.

Preliminary Procedure

	Questions as regards the minimum number of monks required for an 
Ecclesiastical Act are raised and settled.

	Thereafter, the chapter of monks to form the Court is selected by the 
unanimous vote of the monks resident in an arama.

	The President of the Chapter of Monks is chosen by a unanimous vote.

Minima 

	Four monks who are of the higher ordination(upasampada) shall form this 
Chapter of Monks for all acts, except ordination, the concluding ceremony of 
Vassvsa (pavrand), and recalling a monk after probationary discipline 
(abbhna).

	Five upasampada monks for all acts except ordination and abbhana.

	Ten upasampada monks for all acts, except abbhana. These are considered 
sufficient for an ordination.

	Twenty upasampada monks for abbhana and all other acts.

	(If any Ecclesiastical Act is transacted below the required Minima, then 
ipso facto it becomes invalid and ceases to be operative.)

The President

	The President shall be a senior monk (seniority in regard to upasampada), 
of unimpeachable character, one who is an accepted authority on the Dhamma-
Vinaya and one who has gained the Jhanas. (l) He shall be a person who commands 
the respect and confidence of the entire Sarigha resident in the rma. The 
Chapter assemble and select by voting one of their numbers possessed of the 
above qualifications as the President of the Court. The voting is either by show 
of hands, by secret ballot, or by whispering.

Charge-Sheet

	The information regarding the alleged offence is brought to the notice of 
the Court, in the form of a resolution moved by a senior monk, it is then 
seconded and read a second and a third time. If the resolution fails to obtain 
the unanimous vote of the assembled monks, then a nolle prosequi is entered, and 
the accused monk goes back to his monk-friends with no taint on his character.

The Plea

	The offender has the right to defend himself, dispute, debate and argue 
the case, if the decision of the Court goes against him, he has the right of 
appeal to a higher corporate body of the Sangha. All decisions are arrived at by 
a majority vote. However, unanimity is striven for.

	If a difference of opinion arises in regard to the interpretation of a 
Vinaya rule or the relevancy or otherwise of a particular piece of evidence, it 
is referred to a special committee of two or more monks who are acknowledged
authorities on the Vinaya. The committee, having considered the matter in 
dispute in all its aspects, reports back its decision to the Court, which 
decision is final. The committee which settled the matter in dispute is called 
the Ubbhika.

Some Offences

	We may now proceed to discuss briefly some of the offences, which are not only repugnant to the moral well-being of the community of monks but also retard the spiritual progress of the monk who succumbs to moral turpitude. Let us first of all deal with the two major offences of Prjika and Saiigh~disesa. 

Prjik

	Parjik means "defeated", that is, the of-

_____________________________________________________________________________
(1.) The last is no longer observed-Ed.





                                                BUDDHIST ANNUAL 2509 

fending monk has failed, beyond redemption, to honour the pledge which he took 
to observe at the moment he entered the Order. A monk who falls a victim to the 
demands of the flesh has fouled the Walk to the Supreme (brahma-cariya). The 
Buddha would not compromise on this grave lapse.

	The first recorded instance of an adulterer (2) was Sudinna, the monk. He 
admitted his offence, explaining that he was persuaded to commit the offence by 
his parents, who had their own motives. The Buddha pardoned him as a first 
offender. Thereafter, Sudinna led an exemplary life.

	Stealing, murder and persuasion to commit suicide, and pretending ultra-
normal powers are the other three offences under Prjik. The offender is 
liable to immediate dismissal from the Order. If he so desires, he may return to 
the Order. In that event he can remain only as a novice.

Saghdisesa

	The thirteen Sahghadisesa offences-offences against person and property-
are a degree less than Parajikd, but they are more grievous than Pcittiyas. 
Sahghadisesa offences are so called because the Sangha should assemble at the
beginning and at the end of this Sahgha-kamma. The Chapter to hear an offence of 
this nature should not comprise less than twenty. The offender, if found guilty, 
is suspended from the Order, and is kept on probation for a specified period. 
During this period, if his conduct is found satisfactory, he is readmitted.

	Some of the lesser offences of monastic misconduct will now be noted. 

Act of Censure (Tajjaniya-kamma)

	A monk who is prone to pick quarrels, is vicious and is vindictive,

	A monk who, by nature, delights in the commission of offences.

	A monk who is fond of the company of householders (lay folk).

	A monk who pays scant respect to monastic etiquette.

	A monk who speaks openly against the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sagha.

	Tajjaniya-kamma is pronounced on a monk who is found guilty of any one of 
these offences, which may take the form of a vote of censure on the delinquent 
monk, or the monk is asked to confess his error and seek expiation for it, or he 
loses the rights and privileges enjoyed by a monk.

Restoration of Status

	A monk on whom Tajjaniya-kamma is pronounced, wherein he loses certain 
rights and privileges of a monk, and who conducts himself thereafter in keeping 
with the Vinaya rules, is afforded the right to seek a revocation of the 
punishment passed on him, and also seek a restoration of the rights and 
privileges which he lost.

Nissaya-Kamma

	A monk is seen to associate with house holders in a manner contrary to the 
bhikkhu life. In doing so, he participates in such acts as: putting a monk on 
probation, suspending a monk for a Sanghadisesa offence, and recalling a monk 
who is on probation.

	The offender, if found guilty, is punished in this manner:-

	(a) He is put under a senior monk who is to be his teacher (b) He must 
devote himself to the study of the Tipitaka with his tutor's guidance.

	Such restoration of status is as prescribed for Tajjaniya-kamma.

Pabbajaniya-Kamma

	The following are the violations cognizant of this Act:

	i.  A monk who through his misbehaviour spoils the faith of the supporter-
families in the monk.

	ii.  A monk who is fond of garlands, unguents, music and dancing.

	iii.  A monk who is frivolous and lacks manners. 

	Such a monk, if found guilty, is removed from his rma to another rma till he makes amends. 

	The restoration of monk rights is as provided for above.

______________________________________________________________________________ 
(2.) What is specifically meant is a sexual act committed with anyone-Ed. 






MATTERS JUDICIAL

Patisaraniya-Kamma 

	A monk causes loss or attempts to cause loss to a layman or reviles him. 
The offender is brought before the Court, and asked to recant his wrongs and beg 
pardon of the layman.

Ukkhepaniya-Kamma

	This is the punishment imposed upon are calcitrant monk, who is obdurate 
and refuses to acknowledge or confess a wrong act. It involves the total 
segregation of a monk till he realises his folly and becomes amenable to 
discipline.

Parivsa-Kamma

	There are four kinds of Parivsa. One of them deals entirely with persons 
belonging to non-Buddhist sects who are kept on probation for four months. The 
other three are punishments imposed on Saitghadisesa offences. The whole of the 
Parivsikakkhanda deals with the procedure of keeping a delinquent monk under
surveillance for a specified period.

Patikossana-Kamma

	This Ecclesiastical Act is prescribed for minor offences (totalling 92) 
and are called Pacittiy-dhamma. The offender is brought before the Sagha. He 
confesses his fault and is reproved.

Other Ealesiastical Acts

i. Nissran is the act of expelling a monk from the Order.

ii. Osaran is the act of revocation of disabilities imposed upon a monk by the 
Ecclesiastical Acts (see above).

iii.Abbhana is the elaborate process of recalling a monk who has fulfilled the 
Vinaya requirements during the period he was under probation. However, if the 
monk under probation fails to fulfil the necessary requirements expected of
him, then he is placed under: 

iv. Mulaya-patikassana which is a further period 	of Parivsa or Manatta. 
(3) This process is repeated till the monk is found fit to be recalled to the 
Order.

	Those notes should provide a fair idea of the disciplinary methods 
operating in the community of Buddhist monks.


________________________________________________________________________________
(3.) Manatta-kamma is also a form of punishment for Sanghadisesa offences. It 
runs almost parallel with Parivasa-kamma: T.H.P.

	Visual evidences that Scientology is a religion are mandatory on the PES.

	Any staff who are trained at any level ii auditors (but not In AC).) are 
to be clothed in the traditioned ministerial black suit, black vest white collar 
silver cross for ordinary org wear.

	Creed of the Church is to be done big and plainly posted in public areas.

	Stationery is to reflect the fact that orgs are churches.

	All public literature must state that Scn is religious philosophy.

	Since its first incorporation as HAS! Arizona all orgs have been Religious fellowships by corporation statements.

	All orgs are now Churches by their C of S of California affiliation.

	The minister's course is a requisite for permanent certification.

	The legal decisions handed down on Scn by US high courts uphold it as a 
religion.

	It has never been anything else. It seeks SPIRITUAL FREEDOM.

	This may or may not be publicly acceptable. This is NOT the point. It is a 
requisite defense and it is true. Those are the points.

	Reinforce this in all possible ways.
