SEA ORGANIZATION

FLAG ORDER 909

5 October 1982

HCO Policy Letter
18 June 1968

ETHICS

The purpose of Ethics is:

TO REMOVE COUNTER-INTENTIONS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT.

And having accomplished that the purpose becomes:

TO REMOVE OTHER-INTENTIONEDNESS FROM THE ENVIRONMENT.

Thus progress can be made by all.

Many mechanisms can exist to mask a counter-intention.

One has an intention to expand the org. An "expert" says it is
difficult as "The building society...." The impulse is to then handle
the problem presented by the "expert" whereas the correct ETHICS
action is to remove his counter-intentionedness or
other-intentionedness. If he were an EXPERT he would simply say,
"Okay. I'll handle my end of the expansion."

There are many ways to handle counter- and other-intentionedness.

There is a fine line between Ethics and Tech.

The point where a thetan goes mad is very exact. It is the point where
he begins to obsessively stop something. From this the effort becomes
generalized and he begins to stop lots of other things. When this
includes anyone who or anything that would help him as well as those
people and things that help, the being is suppressive. His intentions
counter any other intention, particularly good intentions.

Other-intentionedness comes from unawareness or dispersal. It is
handled by removing things which disperse others. Offering bottled
medicine to cure "the blues" is a direct distraction. It is the
purveyor of the distraction who is the target.

The person who enters a Scientology group to then sell other-answer is
of course an enemy.

However we go about accomplishing the above is the action of ethics.
The above is the purpose.
