L. Ron Hubbard looked early and long at man to find out what methods he used to survive, how he adapted himself to environments in his attempt at survival, and what he found was that man advanced to the degree that he preserved his spiritual integrity, that he preserved his values, that he remained honest, that he remained decent—and Mr. Hubbard found that he disintegrated or deteriorated to the degree that he abandoned these things.
The average man is up against problems. He is asking himself, “How can I make more money? How can I make my wife faithful to me? How can I help my children grow up?” These questions absorb a tremendous quantity of his energy. But he can’t do anything about it because he is so immersed in it. So in Scientology processing he resolved these questions, he understands what he’s doing, and he turns from a man who is simply a puzzled static being into somebody who is more than that.
We see governments and societies desperately trying to help man. They are trying, however, to solve his problems for him, and their efforts to do this have not resulted in any great advance for man.
