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