Portions of You

If the world around him is bad, then he is
unwilling to grant life. If the world around him
he conceives to be good, he is willing to grant life
to it. A world with life granted to it runs well. A
world with no life granted to it goes into chaos
and disappears. Now, this is the riddle of the
centuries. - L. Ron Hubbard

It has no mass or location. It is not energy.
Yet it is alive. And it gives life. Such
are the characteristics of "a life"'giving
unit"-the source not only of all thought, but of
all that is decent, ethical and noble. Indeed, this
is you.

The discovery that each individual is, in fact, a
source of life radically alters the relationship between
Man and the material universe. Based not on faith
or belief but on axioms as precise and workable as
any in science, it has been conclusively determined
that the life"'giving unit preceded matter, energy,
space and time. From that perspective, here are the
infinite ways in which an individual endows his own
environment with life. From physical well"'being to the
state of civilization, these principles are in continuous
operation-every hour, every day. Understood and
applied by a single individual, they lead to a far better
life. Applied by everyone, they would lead to a far
better world.
