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.

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.

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.

The merchants of fear have lost all ability themselves to create, they cannot work themselves, they must either amass money which is never to be spent or must prevent others from amassing money. They produce nothing, they must steal one way or another, and then devaluate whatever they obtain. They speak very sternly of honesty or ethics and put on a formidable front of complete legality.

The physical universe is built on a games condition and the optimum game in the physical universe is described by exactly these rules: minimum ease of entrance, followed by maximum involvement.

It is probably also the first time in many thousands of years that it is possible to simply say no. Today, we have achieved the level of prosperity that allows us to say no. But does that make "yes-sayers" the losers? There may be a spark of truth in this. I think "yes-sayers" are courageous people. They are people who set off for new horizons. They are the ones who invest in the future – and believe in it.
