Last summer some members of this Assembly were privileged to receive a foretaste of the "way to happiness" teachings of the said Mr Hubbard. They were sent an expensively bound de luxe edition of what was described as
"a very popular non-religious common sense guide".
Unfortunately, one did not come to me, but I have managed to obtain a copy. The sayings of Mr Hubbard are certainly basic. I have extracted just three gems for the debate. The first reads:
"Happiness. True joy and happiness are valuable. If one does not survive, no joy and no happiness are obtainable."
The second reads:
"Eat properly. People who do not eat properly are not of much help to you or themselves. They tend to have a low energy level."
That one really touched my heart. The third one states:
"Preserve your teeth. If one brushed one's teeth after every meal, it has been said that one would not suffer tooth decay."
That is hilarious but, incredibly, people are apparently drawn into that organisation by trite and puerile quotes of that kind. Some will say that if people are naive and foolish enough to be persuaded by that kind of juvenile rubbish, that is their own business. To some extent I go along with that, but at the same time one has always to watch for the motives of these people. Why are they trying to attract young people and others into their ranks? We have a duty to watch and monitor these groups and where necessary - it is not always necessary - to warn parents and young people about the groups' methods and motives.
