Another point directly in the interest of keeping the general public
to the general public communication line in good odor: it is vitally
important that a Scientologist put into action and overtly keep in
action Article 4 of the Cole: "I pledge myself to punish to the fullest
extent of my power anyone misusing or degrading Scientology to
harmful ends." The only way you can guarantee that Scientology
will not be degraded or misused is to make sure that only those who
are trained in it practice it.
If you find somebody practicing
Scientology who is not qualified, you should give them an oppor-
tunity to be formally trained, at their expense, so that they will not
abuse and degrade the subject. And you would not take as any
substitute for formal training any amount of study.
You would therefore delegate to members Of the HASI who are
not otherwise certified only those processes mentioned below, and
would discourage them from using any other processes. More par-
ticularly, if you discovered that some group calling itself "precept
processing" had set up and tstablished a series of meetings In your
area, that you would do all you could to make things interesting for
them. In view of the fact that the HASI holds the copyrights for
all such material, and that a scientific organization of material
can be copyrighted and is therefore owned, the least that could be
done to such an area is the placement of a suit against them for using
materials Of Scientology without authority. Only a member of the
HASI or a member of one of the churches affiliated with the HASI
has the authority to use (his information. The purpose of the suit
is to harass and discourage rather than to win.
The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment
on somebody who is simply on the thin edge any.vay, well knowing
that he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his pro-
fessional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly.
A D.Scn. has the power to revoke a certificate below the level of
D.Scn. but not a D.Scn. However. he can even recommend to the
*CECS Of the HASI that D.Scns. be revoked, and so any sincere
Scientologist is capable Of policing Scientology. This is again all
in the interest of keeping the public wi,-h a good opinion of Sciento-
logy, since bad group processing and bad auditing are worse than
bad publicity and are the worst thing that can happen to the general
public to general public communication line.
