For thousands of years on this planet thinking man has upheld his own spirituality and considered the ultimate wisdom to be spiritual enlightenment. The new radical thought that man is an animal without a spiritual nature has a name: totalitarian materialism. Materialism is the doctrine that "only matter matters."

Now and then you hear me speak derisively of governments and ideologies – including democracy. If, by seeing I criticize an ideology, anyone seeks to believe I embrace its opposite, he has failed to get the point. The basic building block of any political system is the individual. you can't have masses which aren't made up of single units.

One must bring about change and be able to handle it. Man is basically good but can act badly. True greatness merely refuses to change in the face of bad actions against one. Why should one change and begin to hate just because others have lost themselves and their own destinies are too cruel for them to face. One must act, one must preserve order and decency, but one need not hate or seek vengeance.

Any fixed idea, is stuck on the time track. Any fixed idea is stuck on the time track. So the number of ideas a person has over which he cannot exercise judgment determines how far out of PT he is. He's that far out of present time to the degree that he has fixed ideas which cannot be altered by his own judgment.

A spirit seeks to advance, to improve. Each way is blocked. This universe knows only how to decay. Can we escape? Yes, it is possible. We have it in Scientology now. I have found it and charted it. I know exactly how to open the gate. What is the way out? With no excuses, no byroads. Straight out. All the way.

The Art of Remembering and of Forgetting: In Homo sapiens there seems to be a fundamental fear of forgetting. It manifests in the feeling that one must not forget. Thus one hold on to memories and do not complete the cycle. Everything is cluttered. To bring order into an overcrowded mind, one must first create empty space.

When we consider that a great deal of what we now know with great exactness was already known and lost thousands of years age, we begin to see that we are not dealing with something new when we are dealing with Scientology. It is not something new.

The Acali Experiment proved that violence is often a result of external pressure and "control" systems. When left to their own nature, humans instinctively lean towards kindness and cooperation. It proves that the natural social structure of human beings is not competition, but cohesion to survive.

We are reasonable about so many things. The sheer amount of it is frightening. Humanity is trapped in Reasonableness worse than someone who has sunk into mud and digs himself in deeper with every movement – unable to get out without external help.

Many of our members used drugs before they knew about Scientology. Once they found Scientology and took just a few basic steps, they shot up the tone scale and dropped drugs from one day to the next.

An obsessive sense of responsibility that compels you to go everywhere to destroy all bad ideas, all at once and all at the same time, is almost as crazy as not fighting them at all. There is a spectrum between irresponsibility – bad – and total responsibility – bad. In between, there is a mixture of responsibility and irresponsibility. This is a perfectly acceptable attitude.

The most fundamental button man has is help. And that button which can be most easily tampered with or upset or aberrated in man is help. When help is straightened out in an individual, not only does his IQ go up but his freedom, of course, and belief and confidence in himself increase. Help is the button which can be just knocked to pieces or re-established in the individual. That's a tremendously powerful button.

The viewpoint of a professional is that the end result of your observation is simplicity, not complexity. The end result is simplicity. A thing is what it is. What's complicated is the world's unwillingness to face anything.
