Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 21 SEPTEMBER 1980 ISSUE III | Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 21 SEPTEMBER 1980 Issue IX (Originally LRH OODs items of 12 November 1970 and 24 June 1971) |
SOURCE TO CAUSE | TROUBLE |
I’ve heard it said that as “source” I should handle something way outside my general activity. | The fastest possible way for a senior to get into trouble is to fail to get in ethics on a downstat junior. |
This is a confusion between SOURCE and CAUSE. | The US “solves” all this with huge government payoffs and propitiation. And look at the upsurge of riots. |
You are CAUSE over your area. Results are the effect of your own efforts. When these support general programs we all win. | Capitalism works only on the reward side. It takes two sides to make a game. |
You should not minimize yourself as CAUSE. It Is your greatest ability. | If an I/C lets ethics go out on his juniors, he pulls the rug out from under himself — and slaughters the juniors also. |
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. | A team is composed of teammates. Those who mess up the team aren’t teammates. |
Being CAUSE over matter, energy, space, time, force, form, location and life is just another way of saying “OT”. | Orgs are teams and all of Scientology is a team. It takes teamwork and backup to make things go right and stay right. |
