From the Horse's Mouth Fact
sheet 2 (rev5d): Scientology's Objective: Clearing the Planet Documented (This version: December 2008)
Here is another work in progress, which should be helpful in discussing one of the the Corporation of Scientology's goals, a "Clear Planet."
Paragraph A of the License Agreement of the Hubbard Ecclesiastical League of Pastors/Field Auditors (Marks), L. Ron Hubbard's "writings and recorded spoken words with respect to SCIENTOLOGY applied religious philosophy and the organizations formed for the purpose thereof" are the Scientology Scriptures.
These quotes are from the irrefutable "Source," meaning I have been able to track down and verify the references (and provide them to you in the bibliography) in the many L. Ron Hubbard books published by the Corporation of Scientology themselves in 2007, as well as Hubbard Communications Office documents and lectures given by L. Ron Hubbard. Most if not all of these can be found in university and public libraries around the world, as well as online. I will update this as I find other reliable sources.
Thanks again to the anon who provided me with the actual books, hard bound and in the factory wrappers. I have finished my first reading of all 18, and am beginning more in-depth study.
In recently leaked documents dealing with the Church of Scientology’s Clear Expansion Committee, they clearly state their purpose.
“PURPOSE: TO UNITE AND COORDINATE ALL SCIENTOLOGISTS, SCIENTOLOGY GROUPS AND ACTIVITIES UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE ORG TOWARDS MAKING LRH TECHNOLOGY WIDELY KNOWN AND BROADLY APPLIED WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF CLEARING THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND BUILDING A SCIENTOLOGY WORLD.” [IMEC PGM 312. p. 2.]
What would a “Scientology World” or “Clear planet” look like? What kind of society would it produce? Let’s look at what the founder of the Church of Scientology L. Ron Hubbard (whose writings and recordings constitute the “scriptures” of the CoS) had to say about this very important topic. To begin we can see from his first book on Dianetics that LRH believed his ideas could be applied to people, courts, governments, and entire cultures.
“An ideal society would be a society of unaberrated persons, Clears, conducting their lives within an unaberrated culture: for either the person or the culture may be aberrated.” [Dianetics. p. 482]
“Judiciary Dianetics covers the field of adjudication within the society and among the societies of Man.” [Dianetics. p. 481]
“The social organisms which we call states and nations behave and react in every respect as though they were individual organisms. …This, all too briefly, is an analogy used in Political Dianetics.” [Dianetics. p. 485]
What kind of government would rule over a “Clear Planet”? Where would it be run from?
"You want to know what happens when you clear everybody in that neighborhood, the only thing that [Scientology] center can become used for is a political center. Because by the time you've done all this, you are the government..." [9Jan1962.]
"Once the world is Clear - a nation, a state, a city or a village - the Scientology-organization in the area becomes its government! And once this has taken place the only policy accepted as valid is Scientology policy." [9Jan1962.]
Would L. Ron endorse something resembling a democracy?
“...I don’t see that popular measures, self-abnegation and democracy have done anything for man but push him further into the mud.” [KSW.]
“Democracy is only possible in a nation of Clears--and even they can make mistakes. When the majority rules, the minority suffers. The best are always a minority.” [2Nov1970.]
Well, at least he would want to guarantee everyone equal rights under the law, wouldn’t he?
“Perhaps at some distant date only the unaberrated person will be granted civil rights before law. Perhaps the goal will be reached at some future time when only the unaberrated person can attain to and benefit from citizenship. These are desirable goals… “Even now the codes of jurisprudence can be reformed…” [Dianetics. p. 483]
“In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind. …none below 2.0, chronically or acutely, should be used as a witness or jurors in courts of law…” [Science. p. 152]
According to L. Ron Hubbard, an “unaberrated” person or “clear” could be produced by auditing. When a person has completed the process:
“…He has a composite being, good enough to be called Homo novis—a theta-animated MEST body possessed of new and desirable attributes. …The auditor has made what we are calling a MEST Clear—a good, sane, rational being about a skyscraper higher than Homo sapiens.” [History. p. 62]
And what is the individual who has not had or does not want Dianetics processing?
“He is Homo sapiens. He is in terrible condition taken from the viewpoint of Homo novis. …He is somewhat of a liability…” [Advanced. p. 74]
“The COMPUTING PSYCHOTIC passes quite commonly for a “normal.” …Many esteemed and respected Homo sapiens in many professions are yet computing psychotics…” [Advanced. p. 75]
“…if society were to recognize this personality type as a sick being as they now isolate people with smallpox, both social and economic recoveries could occur.” [Slant. p. 196.]
How long does it take to produce this new breed of man?
“In relatively skilled hands, it is a twenty-five- to fifty-hour process to advance a Homo sapiens to a Homo novis.” [Advanced. p. 14]
Is this Homo sapiens/Homo novis talk figurative or are we talking about actual human evolution here?
“The auditor is causing any preclear he processes to evolve into a higher plane that was hitherto reached on the evolutionary scale… “The work of the auditor is not related to any past –ology, but to evolution itself.” [Advanced. p. 22]
Thus, Hubbard’s “tech” claims to produce a new race of beings, indeed a master-race, introducing a fascinating thread of racism into the warp and woof of Scientology. In pursuing the goal of a “Clear Planet” how should the new race, now believing that they are really immortal spirit beings called “Thetans” handle the remaining Homo sapiens who do not believe in or want to join the new “Church”?
“Unfortunately, it is all too often true that suppressors to a creative action must be removed before construction and creation takes place. Any person very high on the Tone Scale may level destruction toward a suppressor.” [Science. p. 169]
“There are only two answers for the handling of people from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale, neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise them on the Tone Scale by unenturbulating some of their theta by any one of the three valid processes. The other is to dispose of them quietly and without sorrow.” [Science. p. 183]
“Where you spot a sudden cessation of auditing, the barring of a person from auditing or a refusal to audit, you can be certain that the person responsible for this cessation of auditing or the refusal to permit or encourage it has a selfish profit to make or is hiding something. A person like this is such a menace to himself and to others around him that auditing is much too good for him; he should be shot.” [Science. p. 174]
“R2-45: “An enormously effective process for exteriorization but its use is frowned upon by society at this time.” [Creation. p. 179]
“Death is not the same as clearing but there is, remember, R2-45. It's a very valid technique. A lot of people have used it before now.” [15July1958.]
How will the thetans (Homo novis) handle the situation if large numbers, some significant percentage of the population, refuse to join Scientology?
“Possibly a handful of thetans will someday become alarmed at the worries and efforts of Homo sapiens and try to throw the remaining race into a super-controlled slavery.” [History. p. 74]
“The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the Tone Scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered. It is not necessary to produce a world of Clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order. It is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough to get their tone level above the 2.0 line… or simply quarantining them from society. A Venezuelan dictator once decided to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country were also beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and destroying all the beggars in Venezuela, and end was put to leprosy in that country.” [Science. pp. 183-184]
“It is doubtful if the thetans will pull off the ultimate trick—simply knocking out the atmosphere of the planet—that “clears” everybody after a fashion.” [History. p. 74]
“…And it will happen and be allowed to happen simply because all this is so incredible that nobody will even think of stopping it until it is far, far too late. Its incredibility is its best safeguard…” [History. p. 74]
“Don’t get spectacular until a few of the boys make it. You don’t want to be lonesome—and you’ll need reinforcements…” [History. p. 74]
“Let sleeping sapiens snore in the bulk for yet a while. Then meet someplace and decide what to do about him and his two-penny wars, his insane and his prisons.” [History. p. 75]
