“Along with Scientology there’s a spirit of advance, of liveness, of doingness, of hope, of future. And when you are studying these bare bones, remember that it takes a certain livingness to clothe* them. It takes an intelligence to use them, but above that it takes a livingness to clothe them.
“All things proceed from livingness. This is very true of scale. A scale, intelligently used, is a wonderful yardstick. But like arithmetic, you must remember that two apples plus two apples may equal four apples, but the fact itself is not going to do anything for anybody. You have to apply these scales to cases, to people, to things.”
— L. Ron Hubbard
*clothe: provide something with additional features or qualities that make it more developed or useful.
Excerpted from the lecture Scales delivered on 8 April 1959. This can be found in the Special Hubbard Professional Auditor Course lectures. Track 2.
