“There’s many an auditor sitting around today waiting for something to happen, if he applies such and such techniques. Well, the funny part of it is, is it will happen if he applies such and such techniques, which is, actually, the wonder of it all in Scientology. It’s fantastic that the technique’s applied and it will produce a result. But it produces much faster if instead of sitting around waiting for the technique itself to produce the result and wanting and waiting to find out what happens, if he gets around over to the cause side of the ledger and produces what happens. Why, he’d just say it was going to happen. …
“The reason science has gotten into the state it’s gotten into is because the scientist waits to find out what happens if he does something. You see why he would get around to an effect? He’d be an effect from there on out. And of course, he’d just become MESTier and MESTier and MESTier. No escape from it. …
“But if he were over on the other side of the ledger, he would simply—you know, intention—effect. And there’s how life works best.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
