student tell him his story about why he went and played basketball, and
he'll read the supervisor's report. He'll then ask the student what
"condition" he is in.
47. In Scientology there are 10 "conditions" in life. A person
will always be found to be in one of these "conditions." There is a
step by step "formula" to follow to successfully come out of one
condition and move up to the next. The names of these conditions from
lowest to highest are (1) confusion, (2) treason, (3) enemy, (4) doubt,
(5) liability, (6) danger, (7) emergency, (8) normal, (9) affluence,
(10) power.
48. If the student can't see why he should have to do one of the
lower conditions and if the ethics officer can't convince him even with
denigration, intimidation and incrimination, he would order the student
to write up all the bad things he's done, especially to Scientology.
The belief in Scientology is if a person has that much resistance to
following the rules of getting his mind reconditioned in ethics he must
have done harmful acts, especially to Scientology. (Following the steps
of the formulas of the lower conditions would have made him resolute to
never go play basketball or anything else when he's scheduled to attend
Scientology courses.
49. If the recalcitrant student refuses to write up any bad deeds,
the ethics officer will order the student to get a "Security check". A
security check ("sec check") is a list of questions which ask in various
ways whether the student did any harmful acts. In a security check, the
student would be placed on an E-Meter, so his physical reactions to the
questions can be measured. The sec checker is trained to get the person
to talk and admitting to their harmful deeds.
50. If all goes well, the student is likely to feel some relief by
getting some harmful deed off his chest. He is likely now to cooperate
with the ethics officers and agree and decide he probably had gone into
the condition of "doubt."
51. The steps of the formula of the doubt condition make you
decide what group or type of people you want to befriend and be part of
exclusively. In this case, the student needs to decide between the
group of Scientology and the group of "those type of people who
irresponsibly will just go off and play basketball when they should be
on course."
52. The steps you do to help you decide between the two groups is
basically to look at the intentions and productivity of both groups.
Then join or remain in and befriend the one that does the greatest good
for the greatest number of people. Then you announce the facts to both
sides. This can be a notice on the notice board saying you were doubt
but you've come out of it and have decided to join the group of
scientology and that you denounce the group of irresponsible people who
. . . . Then you do everything in your power to improve the actions
and statistics of the group in which you've decided to remain.
53. As you can see from the way this formula is constructed, every
Scientologist would choose the side of Scientology. Notice well that
you can only choose one side and it has to be wholly to the exclusion of
the other side. After doing scores of these doubt formulas which most
long-term Scientologists have, you end up forfeiting your prior goals
and ideals and natural tendencies that were part of your natural
personality and devoting all of your time and energy to Scientology
alone.
54. Once the ethics officer deems the student has done the steps
of the formula for doubt correctly and came up with the correct answer,
he authorizes the student to move up to the next condition, which is
liability.
55. The liability formula basically has you discover who your
friends are. Nor surprisingly, the ethics processing does not let you
advance until you conclude that your only friends are Scientologists.
The ethics procedures requires the student to conclude that he or she
must deliver an effective blow to the enemies of Scientology -- which in
this hypothetical case is the type of irresponsible person who would put
something else in life, like basketball, ahead of going to course.
important than going to course." This might talk a couple of his old
friends into feeling irresponsible and get them on course.
56. Then the student must make up the damage he or she has done by
contributing far beyond the normal demands of the group member.
57. Then the reformed student must ask every group member to agree
to consider you a group member again. So in the student's case, he'd
write up what he did on this formula and what amends he did and have
each person in the course room sign it saying they agreed to let him
back in the group.
58. As you can see this puts an extra seal on his resolution to
never be the "irresponsible" type again and puts him in a frame of mind
that to be really good and ethical, is to really devote all his time and
energy to Scientology.
59. Then the student must complete the "non-existent" condition
