Of course man may have other goals outside of the physical universe, but we note that he is most concerned here on Earth with a conquest of MEST. Naturally he is concerned about his fellows and living organisms in general, for he is in a sort of brotherhood with all life.

Life in general is engaged upon this conquest and man is the highest form of life on Earth. Without this cooperative effort of all life, a conquest of the physical universe or even survival on a barest-necessity basis would be impossible. Man is sufficiently complex as a mechanism that he must live upon lower orders of life which only in their turn can take sunlight and chemicals and evolve complex foods such as proteins.

The data in Scientology aren’t isolated opinions but a structural whole, and with that whole, one can accomplish an occasional miracle and can almost always effect a marked improvement in an individual. This has never been done before with any consistency, and so one hopes that these data are being studied a little for themselves, not for how well they may agree with old ideas. For they don’t agree with old ideas—and old ideas produced unhappiness, starvation, quick death, wars, insane asylums and much other unwanted bric-a-brac. This is not just a plea for understanding. If you want to get better than you ever could have been before, let’s try these on for size and wear them until we clearly see their workability. If, after a thorough trial, you find they do not work, then you have every right to discount them. One can say this to you without any fear that you’ll discover otherwise—too many miracles have been happening in Scientology.
