Whether by fate or fortune, you have found yourself to be a member of a group

that has an interesting technology and a definite set of standards of conduct.

Whether this is fortunate for you or unfortunate, you are yet a member of this group by the simple fact of working in it.

That you do not have any knowledge of its technology does not make you any less a member of this group.

You are only expected to uphold certain standards as a member of this group. These standards are rather easy to understand:

1. This group has accepted you at face value. No one of this group will hold your past against you. A person entering a Scientology group is looked upon as a person whose conduct now is important, but whose conduct in the past is utterly unimportant.

2. This group is composed of people who want to get more able in life and to live a better life. These people have, unlike others, enough courage to face their own past and misdeeds and recover from them. Ordinary people most often run from their past or blame it on others. When you see a person upset in an auditing session, it is because he had enough nerve to try to face his past and get the better of it. Such people are stronger and saner than people who, like chips of wood, merely drift on life’s river, or who cry and moan in the eddies that life has “done them in”.

3. A person does not have to know Scientology to be a member of a Scientology group. They only have to believe people can be or deserve to be helped.

4. This group believes that honest people have rights and that dishonest people have sacrificed their rights by being dishonest. The definition of dishonesty is whether or not a person is trying to hurt his fellow human beings with malicious talk, hidden actions and injustice or outright crime.

5. This group frowns heavily on trying to prevent people from being processed by cautioning them against it, lying to them about it or just being ignorant of it.

6. This group believes that making a commotion around or talking around an injured person can hint his chances of recovery. As this has often been proven to be true and can be demonstrated, members of this group do not talk to or around or make commotions around people who have just been hurt. They work quietly and silently to help the injured person.

7. A member of this group may be a member of any religion.

8. This group refuses to speak ill of Scientology or criticize it to outsiders.

9. This group will not talk about Scientology to members of the press.

10. There are the Code of Honour, the Code of a Scientologist and the Auditor’s

Code. All other group standards are wholly technical. There are no secret standards.

As a member of this group, you are expected to uphold these elementary standards of conduct.

You are quite welcome to know more about Scientology, about life, and about your life. But nobody is going to force you to study it.

Everyone on earth has problems. They would not be human if they didn’t. Primarily Scientology helps people to come up to handling their problems instead of being handled by them.

Just suppose for a moment Scientology really worked. Just suppose it could really free men from pain and suffering and help them with their problems.

Just suppose people you like or know were in need of help and Scientology could give it to them.

Scientology can help you if you haven’t done things to hurt its people.

But however that may be, by working at Saint Hill, you are a member of Saint Hill. Its standards are those of Scientology. This is a good group. Be proud to be here. We are glad to have you.
