KSW - LRH as Source

"The Monk watched in transfixed awe. The man, he believed
with an instant effortlessness which would have impressed even a Scientologist,
must be a God of some kind to arouse such fervour.
He waited with bated breath to worship him."

- Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

"A true teacher leads you to Allah.
A false teacher leads you to himself."

- Sufi Sheikh


The first policy letter you study in every Scientology course - and I do mean every Scientology course - is Keeping Scientology Working. (There's a link to the text on the right-hand side of this page.)

In a nutshell: You learn that, had LRH not been brilliant and courageous and daring beyond your wildest imaginings, there would be no hope for mankind. He - and he alone - single handedly dragged himself out of the mud and mapped the way out for the rest of us. He - and he alone - is Source.

In all the years I have been engaged in research I have kept my comm lines wide open for research data. I once had the idea that a group could evolve truth. A third of a century has thoroughly disabused me of that idea. Willing as I was to accept suggestions and data, only a handful of suggestions (less than twenty) had long-run value and none were major or basic; and when I did accept major or basic suggestions and used them, we went astray and I repented and eventually had to “eat crow.”
And so the work of Scientologists is not to research or innovate or be creative with the technology. Their work is to follow that path to the letter. No additions. No deletions. No alterations. In order for the tech to work, it must be pure and must be applied exactly as LRH wrote it. Don't think for a minute that you can improve on it. You can't.
Our technology has not been discovered by a group. True, if the group had not supported me in many ways I could not have discovered it either. But it remains that if in its formative stages it was not discovered by a group, then group efforts, one can safely assume, will not add to it or successfully alter it in the future. I can only say this now that it is done.
KSW is also full of jargon and Scientology nomenclature. This makes it especially difficult for the uninitiated. Just getting through these 3 pages if you're not familiar with the terminology is a monolithic task. It can take hours - sometimes even days - to complete.

I used to think this was unfortunate - understandable, of course, but unfortunate.

Now I think it's deliberate.

I'll explain in the the next post: The Misunderstood Word.
