Where personal pride, group pride and initiative are lacking, ethics has to be used as a substitute.

I’ve heard it said that as “source” I should handle something way outside my general activity.

Groups never seem to realize that their hard times are brought on by failures in responsibility and sharing the load.

This is a confusion between SOURCE and CAUSE.

In fact all slavery is the consequence of irresponsibility and failure to do one’s Job.

You are CAUSE over your area. Results are the effect of your own efforts. When these support general programs we all win.

There is ample reward in the satisfaction of doing one’s Job and being part of a self respecting group.

You should not minimize yourself as CAUSE. It Is your greatest ability.

Riches and power spring from that base.

Being blamed sometimes blunts Being Cause. But if one’s total ambition is to be blameless the best situation is to get one’s name on a tombstone. And it’s no fun being dead.

Until one at least gets up to the level of a self respect­ing group with high Standards one can look forward only to poverty and hard times.

Being CAUSE over matter, energy, space, time, force, form, location and life is just another way of saying “OT”.

One has an Org to the degree he or she contributes to its perfection by showing initiative and handling what comes up. Individual Initiative, not orders make a true group.

Start adding your Job up to maximum on it and show initia­tive. Anyone showing initiative is liable to get into an occasional argument. The willingness to accept that too is all part of initiative. One can’t be totally safe in this universe. But one can at least be effective! It’s your world, your Scientology and your Org too you know.
