We Are the Free People / L. Ron Hubbard
We are the Free People. We have grown up—grown up to Freedom, not
senility.
We are the Free People. The Scientologist has left behind the claws and
barriers of miscontrol.
We are the Free People. Grown from out the mud and jungle rot of fear,
our unchained minds can reach afar and grasp the idea of ultimate
Freedom.
We are the Free People in whom the whims of "I'm supposed to" have no
rule, on whom the scientist can blunt his weighty arguments to prove we
are not Free.
Be glad, they said before we came, that you are mad, insane, for there
is genius, so they said. You cannot change. Our brand on you is fixed.
Your brain is all you are and fixed like clockwork in a robot head. So
think, they said, as we have said, to think, for thought is our own
chain and your ideas nil.
Die, theysaid, and live no more and become dispossessed so we can own.
Fall down, they said, and worship clay or maybe space, but of course
wrath. And sing lugubrious songs to fear or maybe international cults
that specialize in slaves.
Believe, they said, that Man is just a shiny thing well meant to die
beneath the pounding of their bombs—the mightiest God they knew.
The flesh, they said, is All and you are but a decay of yourself.
And so they barriered All men.
The witch and the pot; the test tube and the scope; the cell and the
club; the textbook and the lies-Control! Control them or we die! Beat
them or they win! Starve them or we shrink. We are afraid, afraid,
afraid!—they said in that old age we killed.
Freedom becks and we now laughing at their lies, went free.
Scientology—The Road Sign Out.
We are the Free People. We LIVE! We're Free !

THE STORY OF A STATIC
Once upon a time there was a thetan, and he was a happy little thetan
and the world was a simple thing. It was all very, very simple.
And then one day somebody told him he was simple.
And ever since that time he has been trying to prove that he is not.
And that is the history of the Universe, the Human Race, the Fifth
Invaders, the Fourth Invaders, the 31/2 Invaders, the people on Mars,
Saturn, Jupiter, Arcturus, the Markab Galaxy, the Markab System, the Psi
Galaxy, Galaxy 82—
I don't care where you look—that's the story.
Only it's too simple a story, much too simple a story, because a thetan
would have to admit he was simple if he understood it. L R H
