    1. HIRING

    1. HIRING

    The society is running a massive can’t have on the subject of people. Automation and employment penalties demonstrate an effort to block out letting people in and giving them jobs. Confirming this is growing unemployment and fantastic sums for welfare — meaning relief. Fifty percent of America within the decade will be jobless due to the population explosion without a commensurate expansion in production. Yet production by US presidential decree is being cut back. War, birth control are two of many methods used to reduce population. THIS THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS A REFUSAL TO EMPLOY PEOPLE. EXCLUSION OF OTHERS IS THE BASIC CAUSE OF WAR AND INSANITY.

    2. TRAINING

    2. TRAINING

    Education has fallen under the control of one-worlders, is less and less real. Data taught is being taught less well. Less data is being taught. School and college unrest reflect this. Confirmation is the deteriorated basic education found in teenagers such as writing. Older technologies are being lost in modern rewrites. THIS THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS A COVERT REFUSAL TO TRAIN.

    3. APPRENTICESHIPS

    3. APPRENTICESHIPS

    The most successful industries, activities and professions of earlier centuries were attained by training the person as an apprentice permitting him to understudy the exact job he would hold for a long period before taking the post. Some European schools are seeking to revive this but on a general basis, not as an apprentice system. A third DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS A DENIAL OF ADEQUATE EXPERIENCE TO SUCCEED.

    4. UTILIZATION

    4. UTILIZATION

    In industries, governments and armed services as well as life itself, personnel are not utilized. A man trained for one thing is required to do something else. Or his training is not used. Or he is not used at all. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS FAILURE TO UTILIZE PEOPLE.

    5. PRODUCTION

    5. PRODUCTION

    Modern think is to reward downstats. A person is paid for not working. Governments who produce nothing employ the most people. Income tax and other current practices penalize production. Countries which produce little are given huge handouts. War which destroys attains the largest appropriations. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS TO PREVENT PRODUCTION.

    6. PROMOTION

    6. PROMOTION

    Promotion activities are subverted to unworthy activities. True value is seldom promoted. What one is actually achieving gets small mention while other things are heavily promoted. Reality and PR are strangers. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS UNREAL OR NONFACTUAL PROMOTION.

    7. SALES

    7. SALES

    Sales actions are unreal or out of balance. Clumsy or nonfunctioning sales activities penalize producers and consumers. In areas of high demand sales actions are negligible even when heavy advertising exists. This is proven by the inability to sell what is produced even in large countries so that production cut backs are continual threats to economies and workers. A population goes half fed in times of surplus goods. With curtailed car factories a nation drives old cars. With a cutback construction industry people live in bad houses. Sales taxes are almost universal. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS THE IMPEDING OF PRODUCT DISTRI­BUTION TO POTEN­TIAL CONSUMERS.

    8. DELIVERY

    Failure to deliver what is offered is standard procedure for groups in the humanities. Commercially it is well in hand.

    9. FINANCE

    9. FINANCE

    One’s own experience in finance is adequate to demonstrate the difficulties made with money. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS THE PERVERSION OF FINANCE.

    10. JUSTICE

    10. JUSTICE

    Under the name of justice, aberrated man accomplishes fantastic injustices. The upstat is hit, the downstat let go. Rumours are accepted as evidence. Police forces and power are used to ENFORCE the injustices contained 1 to 9 above. Suppressive justice is used as an ineffectual but savage means of meeting situations actually caused by the earlier listed psychoses. When abuses on 1 to 9 make things go wrong, the social aberration then introduces suppressive injustices as an effort to cure. Revolt and war are magnified versions of injustices. Excess people — kill them off in a war. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS THE SUBSTITUTE OF VIOLENCE FOR REASON.

    11. MORALE

    11. MORALE

    A continuous assault on public morale occurs in the press and other media. Happiness or any satisfaction with life is under continuous attack. Beliefs, idealism, purpose, dreams are assaulted. INSANITY IS A REFUSAL TO ALLOW OTHERS TO BE, DO OR HAVE.

    Any action which would lead to a higher morale has to be defended against the insane few. A THIRD DYNAMIC PSYCHOSIS IS A DETESTATION OF HIGH MORALE.

    A. Believing it impossible to obtain money or make it, a firm cannot hire enough people to produce. So has little sell, which is badly promoted and is not sold so it has no money to hire people.

    B. Needing people for another job the firm robs them from a plant which then col­lapses and fails to make money so no new people can be hired. This reduces production so people have to be dismissed as they can’t be paid.

    1. HIRING

    Letting people INTO the group at large is the key to every great movement and bettered culture on this planet. This was the new idea that made Buddhism the strongest civilizing influence the world has seen in terms of numbers and terrain. They did not exclude. Race, color, creed were not made bars to membership in this great movement.

    Politically the strongest country in the world was the United States, and it was weakened only by its efforts to exclude certain races or make them second class citizens. Its greatest internal war (1862-65) was fought to settle this point, and the weakness was not resolved even then.

    Thus inclusion is a major point in all great organizations.

    Thus inclusion is a major point in all great organizations.

    The things which set a group or organization on a course of exclusion are (a) the destructive impulses of about 10 or 15% of the society (lunacy) and (b) opposition by interests which consider themselves threatened by the group or organization’s potential resulting in infiltration (c) efforts to mimic the group’s technology destructively and set up rival groups.

    All these three things build up barriers that a group might thoughtlessly buy and act to remedy with no long-range plans to handle.

    These stresses make a group edgy and combative. The organization then seeks to solve these three points by exclusion, whereas its growth depends wholly upon inclusion.

    No one has ever solved these points successfully in the past because of lack of technology to solve them.

    It all hinges on three points: (1) the sanity of the individual, (2) the worthwhileness of the group in terms of general area, planetary or universal survival, and (3) the superiority of the group’s organization tech and its use.

    Just at this writing, the first point is solved conclusively in Scientology. Even hostile and destructive personalities wandering into the group can be solved and, due to the basic nature of Man, made better for the benefit of themselves and others.

    The worthwhileness of the organization is determined by the assistance given to general survival by the group’s products and the actual factual delivery of those valid products.

    Thus inclusion is almost fully attainable. The only ridges that build up are the short term defense actions.

    For instance, Scientology currently must fight back at the death camp organizations of psychiatry whose solution is a dead world, as proven by their actions in Germany before and during World War II. But we must keep in mind that we fully intend to reform and salvage even these opponents. We are seeking to include them in the general survival by forcing them to cease their non-survival practices and overcome their gruesome group past.

    There are two major stages then of including people — one is as paid organization person­nel and one as unpaid personnel. BOTH are in essence being „hired“. The pay differs. The wider majority receive the pay of personal peace and effectiveness and a better world.

    The payment to the org of money or the money payment to the staff member is an internal economy. Pay, the real pay, is a better personal survival and a world that can live.

    Plans of INclusion are successful. They sometimes contain defense until we can include.

    Even resistance to an org can be interpreted as a future inclusion by the org. Resistance or opposition is a common waypoint in the cycle of inclusion. In an organization where everyone wins eventually anyway the senselessness of resistance becomes apparent even to the most obtuse. Only those who oppose their own survival resist a survival producing organization.

    The idea that it takes twelve years to make a mud pie maker is false. TIME in training does not determine quality of training. Amount of data learned that can be applied and skills successfully drilled determine training.

    The deputy system is easily the best system. Every post is deputied for a greater or lesser period before the post is turned over and the appointment is made. When the deputy is totally familiar he becomes the person on the post.

    Economically it has limitations. One has to weigh the losses in not doing it against the cost in doing it. It will be found that the losses are far greater than the cost, even though it increases personnel by at least a third for a given organization.

    When an organization has neglected it as a system (and has turned over too many posts without deputy or apprenticeship action) its economics may decay to where it can never be done. This is almost a death rattle for an organization.

    In a two-century-old highly successful industry, only the apprentice system was and is used (Oporto wine industry). The quality of the product is all that keeps the product going on the world market. If the quality decayed the industry would collapse. Apprenticeship as a total system maintains it.

    Certainly every executive in an organization and every technical expert should have a deputy in training. Only then could quality of organization be maintained and quality of product guaranteed.

    The total working organization should be on this system actually. And whenever a person is moved up off a post, the deputy taking over, a new deputy should be appointed. The last step (appointment of a new deputy) is the one that gets forgotten.

    Failure to recruit new people over a period will very surely find the whole organization declining soon solely because there is no apprentice system of deputies. The organization ex­pands, singles up the posts, promotes some unapprenticed people and begins to lose its economic advantage. Low pay ensues, people blow off, and then no one can be hired. It’s a silly cycle, really, as it is prevented easily enough by hiring enough soon enough when the org is still doing well.

    The rule is DEPUTY EVERY POST AND NEWLY DEPUTY THEM WHEN PROMOTIONS OCCUR.

    The rule is DEPUTY EVERY POST AND NEWLY DEPUTY THEM WHEN PROMOTIONS OCCUR.

    The most covert way to get around this is just to call each person’s junior a deputy even though he has other duties. This makes it all look good on an org board. „Do you have each post deputied?“ „Oh yes!“ But the deputies are just juniors with posts of their own.
