59. Then the student must complete the "non-existent" condition
formula which makes the student more compliant and coordinated within
the group.
60. The process to rectify the out-ethics action of playing
basketball when the student should have been attending a course next
involves successfully completing the "danger" situation. Here the
ethics officer has the student examine habits and routines and
"irresponsible tendencies" in life and to formulate and adopt firm
policy which will detect and prevent those habits and tendencies from
occurring again. In the student's case this might be something like,
"every time I get a feeling like I don't want to go to course and would
rather go fool around with my friends, I will call the course supervisor
and tell her my feeling, so then she can get me to change my mind right
away."
61. Now the student has a future prevention policy to handle
himself if he even thinks of playing basketball or other things when he
is supposed to be on his course.
62. The next condition on the pathway back to a normal ethics
condition is emergency. To complete this condition, the Scientologist
must produce fast and furiously, stiffen the student's discipline and
burning the midnight oil.
63. After the student successfully completes the emergency ethics
condition, he or she moves up to "normal" which says to not change
anything -- keep doing what you're doing that's causing your good
productivity in Scientology.
64. Then next up is the condition of affluence which applies if
your statistics skyrocket, which shows your productivity for Scientology
and yourself is continuously very high.
65. If everything continues to go well for an extended period of
time, you can do the "power" condition. Completing the power condition
requires the student to write in detail everything that the student did
to maintain his or her high productivity. This allows the student to
pass this information about how he or she achieved the condition of
power on to others so they can follow in the student's footsteps.
66. At this point, the student has gone from denying that he or
she did anything wrong, to confessing ethical breaches whether real or
imagined, to seeking forgiveness from other Scientologists for confessed
out ethics behavior, to paying penance for the alleged misdeeds, to
rededicating oneself to Scientology to boosting production, an
achievement for which the Hubbard tech is given credit, to becoming so
much a part of the system that the student authors a write-up to assist
others to achieve the same success.
67. You now have this student locked in that corral for good. He
not only will happily put the chains and locks back in place on the gate
if they get loose or fall off, he is happily influencing everyone else
in that corral to follow in his footsteps.
68. Another key function of Ethics methodology is to seek out
those Scientologists who are connected in some way to people who are
against Scientology in any way. The reason for this is, that
antagonistic person may cause trouble for Scientology in some way or may
upset the Scientologist by telling him bad things about Scientology or
Hubbard. The Scientologist may even leave the organization and turn
against Scientology.
69. Once an Ethics officer finds out about a Scientologist being
connected to someone who is antagonistic in any way towards Scientology,
he labels that Scientologist a Potential Trouble Source ("PTS"). Then
that Scientologist won't be allowed to take any further Scientology
services until he has handled the antagonistic connection. This is done
by causing the antagonistic element to changing his mind and either
agree to like Scientology or at least agree to it being okay for the
Scientologist to continue on up the Bridge.
70. In some cases the antagonistic person won't change his mind
and the Scientologist then needs to disconnect from the antagonistic
person. Normally, the Ethics Officer will instruct the Scientologist to
write a letter denouncing the antagonistic person and cutting off all
future ties and contact with that person.
71. Basically this whole procedure fixes it so no one from outside
the corral in which the Scientologists are located, can come and
convince any of them that the "grass is greener on the other side" or
anything of that sort. So this ethics procedure, again, helps to keep
the Scientologists happy to be in the corral.
THE USE OF ETHICS IN THE SEA ORGANIZATION
72. The Sea Org is an elite group of people who have dedicated
their heart and soul and life, for the next billion years to the freeing
of humankind throughout the universe from the spiritual enslavement to
which they have been subjected. This is what the Sea Org members truly
believe and they believe Scientology is mankind's ONLY hope for
spiritual and mental freedom. The vast bulk of Sea Org members receive
virtually no material benefit for their service and receive only $30.00
