Stars in the Milky way

In this way, a work free of deformations and
misleading opinions. It stands for itself. It does what it promises. It does not need any clever tricks to make any "isms" believe.

Stars in the Milky way

​Philosophy for a New Civilization


I have been at work for seven years to produce a series of techniques which any well trained auditor can use to clear people. We now have them.


I am truly sorry that this took seven years. Actually, it took more than twenty-five.


Under other “systems of research” it could not have been done. It was financed at first by my writings and expeditions. Some 15,000,000 words of fact and fiction articles ranging from political articles to western were consumed in a large part by this research – but it was free to act if not free from sweat.


No bullying dictator wanted it for his mass slaveries as happened to poor misguided Pavlov. No big corporation wanted it for a better Madison Avenue approach to advertising – another kind of slavery. 


No big Research Foundation like Ford was there to interject their “America First” philosophy. These had not paid for it; therefore they didn’t own it. The work stayed free. Thus it prospered. It did not wither in support of some aberrated “cause”. It bloomed.


But the violence of protecting this work while continuing it took a toll nevertheless. Special interests believed it must be evil if they did not own it. Between 1950 and 1956, 2,000,000 traceable dollars were spent to halt this work. Newspaper articles, radio ads (as in Seattle from the University of Washington) bribed “patrons”, financed “patients” all cost money. You hear the repercussions of this campaign even today.


Money could not stop this work by then. It was too late. If anything had been wrong with our organizations, my character, our intentions or abilities the whole advance would have crumbled. But we had no Achilles heels. We carried on. All that has survived of this attack by the two APAs, the AMA and several universities is a clutter of rumors concerning your sanity and mine – and rumors no longer financed will some day die.


And so the work has emerged free of taint and misguided slants. It is itself. It does what it says it does. It contains no adroit curves to make one open to better believing some “ism”. That makes it singular today in a world gone mad with nationalism. Buddhism, when it came to the millions, was no longer free of slant and prejudice. Taoism itself became a national jingoism far from any work of Lao-Tze. Even Christianity had its “pitch”. And if these greatworks became curved, with all the personal force of theircreators, how is it that our little triumph here can still be found in a clear state?


Well, no diamonds and palaces have been accepted from rajahs, no gratuitous printing of results has been the gift of warlords; no testament had to be written 300 years after the fact.


For this we can thank the gentleman from Gutenberg and the invention of magnetic tape.


Therefore, although we have no such stature as the Great Philosophies, I charge you with this – look to source writings, not to interpretations. Look to the original work, not offshoots.


If I have fought for a quarter of a century, most of it alone, to keep this work from serving to uphold the enslavers of Man, to keep it free from some destructive “pitch” or slant, then you certainly can carry that motif a little further.


I’ll not always be here on guard. The stars twinkle in the Milky Way and the wind sighs for songs across the empty fields of a planet a Galaxy away.


You won’t always be here.


But before you go, whisper this to your sons and their sons – “The work was free. Keep it so.”


– L. Ron Hubbard – 1957
