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

The fastest possible way for a senior to get into trouble is to fail to get in ethics on a downstat junior.

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

The US “solves” all this with huge government payoffs and propitiation. And look at the upsurge of riots.

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

Capitalism works only on the reward side. It takes two sides to make a game.

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

If an I/C lets ethics go out on his juniors, he pulls the rug out from under himself — and slaughters the juniors also.

Riches and power spring from that base.

A team is composed of teammates. Those who mess up the team aren’t teammates.

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.

Orgs are teams and all of Scientology is a team. It takes teamwork and backup to make things go right and stay right.

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.
