The upper ten thousand people on Earth...

"Scientology and Dianetics have included the upper ten thousand of Earth very easily. If you don't believe that and you're not a professional auditor - if you don't believe that, why, just try some professional auditing some day and just start picking them up at random off of the streets or out of the hospital wards and so forth, and start processing them. And you will find - you will find that you are amongst the upper ten thousand of Earth.

"Now, I'm not trying to give you a swelled head. It's true. It's true. You had brains enough to know you didn't know, just like I had sense enough to know that I had to do some tall remembering and reorganization here in order to get anything together, because most of the information had gone zock. And we knew we didn't know, and that made us the smartest people on Earth. Most of the rest of them think they know, and that is the high tide of ignorance. The most ignorant man in the world knows that he knows everything there is to know about everything." --- excerpted from the State of Man Congress lectures

Cause is all in this universe

An article by L. Ron Hubbard
from the State of Man Congress lectures

The only effects you can experience are those which you yourself dream up to experience. That's fantastic! It gives us a brand-new look at cause, distance, effect. The truth of the matter is more like cause, distance, cause. All is cause. The Buddhist, you know, never got this one wrapped up. And his answer to it was have nothing to do with cause and have nothing to do with effect - leave them both entirely alone - making himself, therefore, totally guilty of the sins of omission of never assuming cause, which was the surest way in the world to spin anybody in.

But he knew something was wrong with this cause, distance, effect, and that's all I wish to call attention to here. He did know something was wrong with this cause, distance, effect.

But what's wrong with it is effect! Tsk. You're flattering yourself if you think you can cause an effect without the cooperation of the other fellow. All of your ability and slyness must be devoted to getting that cooperation.

Now, where you have - where you have an individual who is obviously the effect of somebody, and you audit him as having been the effect of somebody, nothing happens. Now, that alone has caused us to mark a lot of time in these last ten years. We've gotten an awful lot done, an astonishing amount of things done in the absence of this particular datum. But now, boy, all of the time that was wasted on that, totally devoted onto this other thing - wow! Wow! Man, you ought to see cases go to pieces under this one. Zip-bang-thud! Because you're not paying attention to untruths; there are no lies in auditing.

In other words, you're not auditing in the direction of a lie that the preclear's condition is the result of an other-determinism than himself. You see, I could have figured this out ten years ago if I'd been that much smarter. I have to apologize once in a while for having been stupid about all this.

But we could have figured it out this way: If auditing pc A in 1959 can clear up a circumstance which occurred in 1699, and the circumstance clears up without any of the personnel in 1699 being present, then obviously the person we're auditing in 1959 did it all. If it clears up, he must have done all of it. It's worth looking at, isn't it?

But trying to draw a plot of the universe on this basis becomes a near... I feel for people like the Jesuits and so forth when they eventually have to tangle with this one. They're great figure-figure people, you know? They're great philosophers. Actually, they're pretty smart people. They turned out - practically the only educated men in the last couple of thousand years were turned out in Jesuit schools.

But they're very good at figuring things out and making graphs of it all and figuring it out and postulating it and straightening it out. And when they try to make a graph of everybody in the universe being cause... Actually, it's dead easy. All you have to say is, "Every man in the universe is cause of his own participation," and that's it.

And where he has participated unworthily, all you have to do is knock it out by knocking out the cause of his own participation, and you'll free that zone of evil or mishmash or discreditable creation or whatever it is in the universe. -L. Ron Hubbard, excerpted from the lecture WHY PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU

This lecture is available in the State of Man Congress lectures.

Successes from listening to the Congress Lectures

"I totally changed my viewpoint on responsibility when I listened to the second CD lecture, 'Responsibility', from the State of Man Congress. It was exactly what I needed to hear and I needed to hear it from Ron himself. It shifted everything in my life-all my considerations, excuses and non-confront-and it left me just standing there, acknowledging my power as a being.

"The feeling was quite wonderful and with it came great responsibility and the realization of what exactly I needed to do to handle my life.

"I took a step back and I looked at my life and I asked myself, 'What was I doing?' and all of these non-optimum and non-survival areas came to view. But now I could confront and handle them.

"After listening to this amazing lecture, I know there is hope for me and I have Ron and all the people helping me to thank for that.

"It is a little strange for me now. I feel like I am in a new body or something. People even look at me differently. BUT I can say whole-heartedly that I am using my power for good.

"Thank you for reading my success story and I encourage you to listen to the State of Man Congress as well. This is something for everyone."

Responsibility vs. Case
Only one will win...

"If the definition of Operating Thetan is knowing and willing cause over all dynamics then we can see at once that responsibility must go hand in hand with making an Operating Thetan." - L. Ron Hubbard, from the "State of Man" Congress

Beginning with Book One in 1950, and continuing through each successive year, it was a decade of monumental discoveries and milestone technology towards the goal of Clear.

Here, then, is the Congress that launched the next decade, and set the whole of Scientology towards Operating Thetan. It all followed from the very definition of OT as "knowing and willing cause over all dynamics." For while all earlier efforts were aimed at clearing people on the First Dynamic, Ron opened this one with the startling announcement: "What I've arrived at this Congress with was how to clear them on the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Dynamics." While even more startling was the breakthrough that made it possible: Responsibility and the watershed technology of Overts and Withholds.

Here, then, is technology spanning every dynamic from the individual, to marriage, to entire governments. Here, too, is the very long view of the overt-motivator sequence across scores of lifetimes, and why that whole track seems so dim. Finally, here is lecture after lecture, each now legendary in its own right-from Responsibility, Overts and Withholds, Why People Don't Like You and Your Case. Technology drawn from Ron's first OT Research, and the crucial make-break of case gain-herein lies the key to responsibility across all dynamics, and hence, your route to the State of OT.
