HELPING THE GOVERNMENTS OF EARTH

(From an undated despatch.)

A government will always be a helping hand but it is so scarce that it takes a government leader a long time to be convinced that it being held out. So few people help the government that they don't know what the hand is for. Men use governments to feather their own nests and better their own ends, but there are sincere men in government who are trying to do what is right.

If we wish to go in any direction in the field of politics, let's be sure we go in the direction of giving the existing government a better understanding of life. If we bring about a higher level of civilization and a better powers such as be in hand at anything we should strike at these intermediate problems that the atomic bomb, smallpox, whooping cough, bubonic plague and all the rest of things that confront Man as his enemies.

What do we have in Scientology with which to help Man and governments? We have something which assists, not fights, Man's enemies. Man will fight his real enemies which he isn't fighting now.

Our job as Scientologists in this society is to bring Man up to a level where he can confront his natural enemies and live at peace with his fellows, and if we can do that on very broad level, as we are doing in a smaller sphere, then we would have brought a better civilization to earth—and that I think, is what we are trying to do.
