3. Hubbard Communications Office Bulletins
(Added HCO-file nr. 3)
The texts here are presented in a different lay-out as those of
the 'normal' HCO's. That's because I've received them as a sort
of (secret) booklet.
These materials are the base of the Scientology / Dianetics Juridical
System.
A system with its own Courts (Committees of Evidence), Legislation and
Punishments. To dedicated Scientologists it is prior to the Laws of the
Countries in which Scientology operates...
Keep in mind that Hubbard teaches in the 'Fair Game Law':
"An enemy / critic ...
... may be deprived of property or injured by any means".
... may be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed".
Introduction to Scientology Ethics, 1967 (3 files)
CONTINUED FROM HERE.
Here are the formulas of conditions given in order of
advance upward:
NON-EXISTENCE
- Find a communication line
- Make yourself known
- Discover what is needed or wanted
- Do, produce and/or present it.
EXPANDED NON-EXISTENCE FORMULA
- Find and get yourself on every comm line you will
need in order to give and obtain information relating to
your duties and materiel.
- Make yourself known, along with your post title
and duties, to every terminal you will need for the
obtaining of information and the giving of data.
- Discover from your seniors and fellow staff members
and any public your duties may require you to
contact, what is needed and wanted from each.
- Do, produce and present what each needs and
wants that is in conformation with policy.
- Maintain your comm lines that you have and
expand them to obtain other information you now find
you need on a routine basis.
- Maintain your origination lines to inform others
what you are doing exactly, but only those who actually
need the information.
- Streamline what you are doing, producing and
presenting so that it is more closely what is really
needed and wanted.
- With full information being given and received
concerning your products, do, produce and present a
greatly improved product routinely on your post.
DANGER
A Danger Condition is normally assigned when:
- An emergency condition has continued too long.
- A statistic plunges downward very steeply.
- A senior executive suddenly finds himself or herself
wearing the hat of the activity because it is in trouble.
The formula for the senior declaring a Danger Condition:
- Bypass (ignore the junior normally in charge of the
activity - handle it personally)
- Handle the situation and any danger in it
- Assign the area where it had to be handled,a Danger
Condition
- Handle the personnel by Ethics Investigation and
Committee of Evidence (Committee of Evidence: A
fact-finding group appointed and empowered to impar-
tially investigate and recommend upon Scientology
matters of a fairly severe ethical nature)
- Reorganize the activity so that the situation does
not repeat
- Recommend any firm policy that will hereafter
detect and/or prevent the condition from recurring.
The senior executive present acts and acts according to
the formula above.
Junior Danger Formula
Where a danger condition is assigned to a junior,
request that he or she or the entire activity write up his or
her overts (contra-survival actions) and withholds
(undisclosed contra-survival actions) and any known out-ethics
situation and turn them in at a certain stated time on a
basis that the penalty for them will be lessened but if
discovered later after the deadline it will be doubled.
This done, require that the junior and the staff that had
to be bypassed and whose work had to be done for them
or continually corrected, each one write up and fully
execute the FIRST DYNAMIC' Danger Formula for
himself personally and turn it in.
First Dynamic Formula
- Bypass habits or normal routines.
- Handle the situation and any danger in it.
- Assign self a Danger Condition.
- Get in your own personal ethics by finding what
you are doing that is out-ethics and use self-discipline to
correct it and get honest and straight.
- Reorganize your life so that the dangerous situation
is not continually happening to you.
- Formulate and adopt firm policy that will hereafter
detect and prevent the same situation from continuing to
occur.
EMERGENCY
- Promote. That applies to an organization. (To an
individual you had better say produce.) That's the first
action regardless of any other action, regardless of
anything else, that is the first thing you have to put their
attention on. The first broad big action which you take is
promote. Exactly what is promotion? Well, look it up in
the dictionary. It is making things known; it is getting
things out; it is getting one's self known, getting one's
products out.
- Change your operating basis. If for instance you
went into a condition of emergency and then you didn't
change after you had promoted, you didn't make any
changes in your operation, well you just headed for
another condition of emergency.
So that has to be part of it, you had better do
something to change your operating basis, because that
operating basis leads you into an emergency, so you sure
better change it.
- Economize.
- Then prepare to deliver.
- Part of the Condition of Emergency contains this
little line - you have got to stiffen discipline or you have
got to stiffen Ethics. Organizationally when a state of
emergency is assigned, supposing the activity doesn't
come out of that emergency, regardless of what caused
the emergency, in spite of the fact they have been labeled
a state of emergency, they have been directed to follow
the formula, they have been told to snap and pop and get
that thing straightened out, and they are still found to be
goofing, the statistic is going down and continues to go
down, what do you do? There is only one thing left to do
and that is discipline, because life itself is going to
discipline the individual.
So the rule of the game is that if a state of emergency is
ignored and the steps are not taken successfully then you
get an announcement after a while that the condition has
been continued and if the condition is continued beyond
a specified time, why that's it, it has to walk forward into
an Ethics matter.
NORMAL OPERATION
- The way you maintain an increase is when you are in
a state of Normal Operation you don't change anything.
- Ethics are very mild, the justice factor is quite mild,
there are no savage actions taken particularly.
- A statistic betters - then look it over carefully and
find out what bettered it and then do that without
abandoning what you were doing before.
- Every time a statistic worsens slightly, quickly find
out why and remedy it.
And you just jockey those two factors, the statistic
bettering, the statistic worsening, repair the statistic
worsening, and you will find out inevitably some change
has been made in that area where a statistic worsens. You
had better get that change off the lines in a hurry.
AFFLUENCE
- Economize. Now the first thing you must do in
Affluence is economize, and then make very, very sure
that you don't buy anything that has any future
commitment to it. Don't buy anything with any future
commitments, don't hire anybody with any future
commitments - nothing. That is all part of that economy,
clamp it down.
- Pay every bill. Get every bill that you can possibly
scrape up from any place, every penny you owe anywhere
under the sun, moon and stars, and pay them.
- Invest the remainder in service facilities, make it
more possible to deliver.
- Discover what caused the Condition of Affluence
and strengthen it.
POWER
First Dynamic Power Formula
- The first law of a Condition of Power is don't
disconnect. You can't just deny your connections, what
you have got to do is take ownership and responsibility
for your connections.
- The first thing you have got to do is make a record
of all of its lines. And that is the only way you will ever be
able to disconnect. So on a Condition of Power the first
thing you have to do is write up your whole post. You
have made it possible for the next fellow in to assume the
state of Power Change.
If you don't write up your whole post you are going to
be stuck with a piece of that post since time immemorial
and a year or so later somebody will still be coming to you
asking you about that post which you occupied.
- The responsibility is write the thing up and get it
into the hands of the guy who is going to take care of it.
- Do all you can to make the post occupiable.
Third Dynamic Power Formula
- Life is lived by lots of people. And if you lead you
must either let them get on with it or lead them on with it
actively.
- When the game or the show is over, there must be a
new game or a new show. And if there isn't somebody else
is jolly well going to start one and if you won't let anyone
do it the game will become "getting you".
- If you have power use it or delegate it or you sure
won't have it long.
- When you have people use them or they will soon
become most unhappy and you won't have them anymore.
- When you move off a point of power,
pay all your obligations on the nail, empower all your friends
completely and move off with your pockets full of artillery,
potential blackmail on every erstwhile rival, unlimited
funds in your private account and the addresses of
experienced assassins and go live in Bulgravia and bribe
the police.
And even then you may not live long if you
have retained one scrap of domination in any camp you
do not now control or if you even say, "I favour Politician
Jiggs." Abandoning power utterly is dangerous indeed.
- When you're close to power get some delegated to
you, enough to do your job and protect yourself and your
interests, for you can be shot, fellow, shot as the position
near power is delicious but dangerous, dangerous always,
open to the taunts of any enemy of the power who dare
not really boot the power but can boot you.
So to live at
all in the shadow or employ of a power you must yourself
gather and USE, enough power to hold your own - without
just nattering to the power to "kill Pete", in straight-
forward or more suppressive veiled ways to him as these
wreck the power that supports yours. He doesn't have to
know all the bad news and if he's a power really he won't
ask all the time, "What are all those dead bodies doing at
the door?" And if you are clever, you never let it be
thought HE killed them - that weakens you and also hurts
the power source.
"Well, boss, about all those dead
bodies, nobody at all will suppose you did it. She over
there, those pink legs sticking out, didn't like me."
"Well," he'll say if he really is a power, "why are you
bothering me with it if it's done and you did it. Where's
my blue ink?" Or "Skipper, three shore patrolmen will be
along soon with your cook, Dober, and they'll want to tell
you he beat up Simson." "Who's Simson?" "He's a clerk
in the enemy office downtown." "Good, when they've
done it, take Dober down to the dispensary for any
treatment he needs. Oh yes. Raise his pay."
Or "Sir, could
I have the power to sign divisional orders?" "Sure."
- And lastly and most important, for we all aren't on
the stage with our names in lights,
always push power in
the direction of anyone on whose power you depend. It
may be more money for the power, or more ease, or a
snarling defense of the power to a critic, or even the dull
thud of one of his enemies in the dark, or the glorious
blaze of the whole enemy camp as a birthday surprise.
If you work like that and the power you are near or
depend upon is a power that has at least some inkling
about how to be one, and if you make others work like
that, then the power-factor expands and expands and
expands and you too acquire a sphere of power bigger
than you would have if you worked alone.
Real powers
are developed by tight conspiracies of this kind pushing
someone up in whose leadership they have faith. And if
they are right and also manage their man and keep him
from collapsing through overwork, bad temper or bad
data, a kind of Juggernaut builds up. Don't ever feel
weaker because you work for somebody stronger.
The only failure lies in taxing or
pulling down the strength on which you depend. All
failures to remain a power's power are failures to contribute
to the strength and longevity of the work, health and power
of that power. Devotion requires active contribution outwards
from the power as well as in.
POWER CHANGE
There are only two circumstances which require
replacement, the very successful one or the very un-
successful one.
What a song it is to inherit a successful pair of boots,
there is nothing to it, just step in the boots and don't
bother to walk. If it was in a normal state of operation,
which it normally would have been in for anybody to have
been promoted out of it, you just don't change anything.
So - anybody wants anything signed that your
predecessor didn't sign, don't sign it. Keep your eyes
open, learn the ropes and, depending on how big the
organization is, after a certain time, why, see how it is
running and run it as normal operating condition if it's not
in anything but a normal operating condition.
Go through the exact same routine of every day that
your predecessor went through, sign nothing that he
wouldn't sign, don't change a single order, look through
the papers that had been issued at that period of
time - these are the orders that are extant - and get as busy
as the devil just enforcing those orders and your operation
will increase and increase.
Now, the fellow who walks into the boots of somebody
who has left in disgrace had better apply the State of
Emergency formula to it, which is immediately promote.
WISHING YOU SUCCESS.
FORMULAS FOR CONDITIONS BELOW NON-EXISTENCE
CONDITION OF LIABILITY
Below Non-Existence there is the Condition of
Liability. The being has ceased to be simply non-existent
as a team member and has taken on the color of an enemy.
It is assigned where careless or malicious and knowing
damage is caused to projects, organizations or activities.
It is adjudicated that it is malicious and knowing
because orders have been published against it or because
it is contrary to the intentions and actions of the
remainder of the team or the purpose of the project or
organization.
It is a liability to have such a person unwatched as the
person may do or continue to do things to stop or impede
the forward progress of the project or organization and
such a person cannot be trusted. No discipline or the
assignment of conditions above it has been of any avail.
The person has just kept on messing it up.
The condition is usually assigned when several dangers
and non-existences have been assigned or when a long
unchanged pattern of conduct has been detected.
When all others are looking for the reason mail is
getting lost, such a being would keep on losing the mail
covertly.
The condition is assigned for the benefit of others so
they won't get tripped up trusting the person in any way.
The formula of liability is:
- Decide who are one's friends.
- Deliver an effective blow to the enemies of the
group one has been pretending to be part of despite
personal danger.
- Make up the damage one has done by personal
contribution far beyond the ordinary demands of a group
member.
- Apply for re-entry to the group by asking the
permission of each member of it to rejoin and rejoining
only by majority permission, and if refused, repeating (2)
and (3) and (4) until one is allowed to be a group member
again.
CONDITION 0F DOUBT
When one cannot make up one's mind as to an
individual, a group, organization or project a Condition of
Doubt exists.
The formula is:
- Inform oneself honestly of the actual intentions and
activities of that group, project or organization, brushing
aside all bias and rumor.
- Examine the statistics of the individual, group,
project or organization.
- Decide on the basis of "the greatest good for the
greatest number of dynamics" (Dynamics: The urge,
thrust and purpose of life - SURVIVE! - in its eight
manifestations. See Glossary for these) whether or not it
should be attacked, harmed or suppressed or helped.
- Evaluate oneself or one's own group, project or
organization as to intentions and objectives.
- Evaluate one's own or one's group, project or
organization's statistics.
- Join or remain in or befriend the one which
progresses toward the greatest good for the greatest
number of dynamics and announce the fact publicly to
both sides.
- Do everything possible to improve the actions and
statistics of the person, group, project or organization one
has remained in or groined.
- Suffer on up through the conditions in the new
group if one has changed sides, or the conditions of the
group one has remained in if wavering from it has lowered
one's status.
CONDITION OF ENEMY
When a person is an avowed and knowing enemy of an
individual, a group, project or organization, a Condition
of Enemy exists.
The formula for the Condition of Enemy is just one
step:
FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
CONDITION OF TREASON
The formula for the Condition of Treason is:
Find out that you are.
CONDITION OF CONFUSION
There is a Condition below Treason.
It is a Condition of CONFUSION.
The formula of the Condition is:
FIND OUT WHERE YOU ARE.
It will be seen that the progress upward would be in
Confusion, find out where you are; in Treason, find
out that you are; and for Enemy, find out who you
are.
The additional formula for the Condition of Confusion is:
- Locational on the area in which one is. (Locational:
"Locate the ".
The auditor has the preclear locate the floor, the
ceiling, the walls, the furniture in the room and
other objects and bodies.)
- Comparing where one is to other areas where one
was.
- Repeat Step 1.
Lack of this Condition sometimes brings about an
assignment of Treason in which the person cannot
actually find out that he is and so occasionally does not
make it on up the Conditions.
Many more persons are in this Condition than is
generally realized.
THE ETHICS CODES
OFFENSES AND PENALTIES
These are the penalties we have always more or less
used and these are the offenses which have been usually
considered offenses in Scientology.
Formerly they were never written down or routinely
enforced, there was no recourse, and these lacks made
staff members uncertain of their fate. They knew
something happened but not why. They knew certain
things were frowned on but not how much or little. The
penalties were suddenly administered without warning
as to what they would be or for what offense.
This then is a code of discipline which we have almost
always more or less used, made plain for everyone to see,
with limits against over-punishment and recourse for
those who are wronged.
Accordingly this Code of Offenses and their penalties
becomes firm and expressed policy.
Lack of specified offenses, penalties and recourse
bring everyone to uncertainty and risk at the whim of
those in command.
There are four general classes of crimes and offenses
in Scientology. These are ERRORS, MISDEMEANORS,
CRIMES and HIGH CRIMES.
1. ERRORS.
Errors are minor unintentional omissions or mistakes.
These are auditing "goofs"; minor alter-is of Tech or
Policy; small instructional mistakes; minor errors or
omissions in performing duties and admin errors not
resulting in financial loss or loss of status or repute
for a senior.
Errors are dealt with by corrections of the person,
reprimand or warnings by seniors.
Certificates, classifications and awards may not be
canceled or suspended or reduced for an Error. The
offender may not be transferred or demoted or fined or
suspended for committing an Error. No Committee of
Evidence may be convened because of an Error.
Repeated corrections, warnings or reprimands by a
senior can, however, bring the repeated Error offenses
into the category of Misdemeanor.
2. MISDEMEANORS.
These are:
Such offenses are subject to direct punishment by
order and for a staff member the punishment is the
assignment of a personal condition of Emergency for up
to three weeks and for an executive staff member the
assignment of up to a three-month personal condition of
Emergency.
Personal conditions of Emergency reduce pay or units
one third for the period assigned.
Recourse may be had by requesting a Committee of
Evidence for return of pay but not damages.
The same offenses may be used for a Committee of
Evidence but not both a Committee and punishment by
direct order - one or the other.
However, if any of these offenses become the subject
of a Committee of Evidence the penalty for a
Misdemeanor may be increased to include suspension of
a single certificate and/or classification (but no more) or
a minor demotion or transfer, but not dismissal. None of
these offenses may be made the subject of dismissal by
direct order or Committee of Evidence.
Persons may not be dismissed for Misdemeanors. Nor
may any certificates, classifications or awards be
canceled.
Non-staff or field or franchise Scientologists committing
those of the above (except org) offenses
applicable may have a Committee of Evidence convened
on them.
Where serious, repeated or of magnitude harmful to
many, the same offenses can be reclassed as Crimes by a
Convening Authority.

Crimes are punished by convening Committees of
Evidence and may not be handled by direct discipline.
Crimes may result in suspension of certificates,
classifications or awards, reduction of post, or even
dismissal or arrest when the Crime clearly warrants it.
But such penalties may not be assigned by direct
discipline. Certificates, classifications or awards may not
be canceled for a Crime.
4. HIGH CRIMES.
These consist of publicly
departing Scientology or committing Suppressive Acts.
Cancellation of certificates, classifications and awards
are amongst the penalties which can be leveled for this
type of offense as well as those recommended by
Committees of Evidence.
A reward system for merit and good performance also
exists.
