"There's nothing (that) succeeds like insouciance. Plain flippancy will

actually get more done in less time than anything else you can name.

As we go up the tone scale and things become lighter and lighter,

a person can of course become much more ethical

and at the same time lots less serious.

It sounds funny that a person who is very serious

is liable to fall short on his ethics. ...............

As we get up the tone scale, we find that individuals

are airier and lighter and actually more aesthetic.

And the more serious you take the game,

the less chance there is of winning. ................

This tells you it takes lots of space, and lots of unseriousness to win."

"Scientology has opened the gates to a better World. It is not a
psycho-therapy nor a religion."

The Creation of Human Ability, L. Ron Hubbard, 1953.

Hmmmmm, yeah, my all time favorite. Right up there with talking about the misery of poor little clams roasting in the suns relentless heat after the tide goes out.

"Now the caste system of game consist of this: The Maker of Games, he
has no rules, he runs by no rules. The player of the games, rules known but
he obeys them. And the assistant players merely obey the players. And the
pieces obey rules as dictated by players, but they don't know the rules." And
then, what do you know. There's broken pieces, and they aren't even in the
game, but they're still in the game. And they're in a terrible maybe: "Am I
in the game or am I not in the game?"

Now, "How to make a piece. This is how to make' a piece: First, deny
there is a game. Second, hide the rules from them. Three, give them all
penalties and no wins. Four, remove all goals" - all goals. "Enforce them..
their playing. Inhibit their enjoying. Make them look like but forbid their
being like players" - look like God but uh.. you can't be God.

"To make a piece continue to be a piece, permit it to associate only
with pieces and deny the existence of players." Never let the pieces find out
that there are players.

Now out of these you're going to get games. Now here's a process that
has to do with the making of games, and all this process adds up to, is you
just address to those factors which I just gave you, oh, run and change
postulates and any creative process that you can think of and shift
postulates around, you get a whole process.

But remember, that up at the top of it there is a big postulate,
"There must be a game." Therefore if you want to regain the Spirit of Play,
people have got to unmake postulates they've made all along, saying, "There
mustn't be a game. There mustn't be a game. It can't be a game. Don't play
with me. I mustn't be played with. Life is serious. This isn't a game. We're
playing for keeps. I'll never get out of this," and so forth. In other words,
the postulates which they've made to convince themselves that these are the
rules and the only rules that can be played, and these that I've just read
off to you.

"You might say all things worth understanding are infinitely simple. And all things which are very, very difficult to understand aren't worth studying."
— L. Ron Hubbard
