A person in good shape........LRH quote for the day Author: virginia Posted: 2001-12-26 15:48 From "Reality Scale in Action", 3 January 1957, from "The Anatomy of Cause" tape set.-LRH "A person who is in good shape does not regret his past. In any given moment he knew he was doing the best he could do under the given circumstances. And even though people railed at him, and told him how bad he was and how mean he was and how no-good, and how he shouldn't at any time have been allowed to live -- being the author of such vile, hideous and horrible deeds -- no matter what people said to him, his own ability to have an opinion would be sufficiently great that he knew that at all times he was doing the best he could do, and that it was only an opinion of the surrounding environment which was at variation from that. If he depends on agreement utterly, then he tries to vary his opinions to come up to the ciritical opinions of the surrounding environment, and he loses his skills and abilities. "As you audit a person, he gets into sufficiently good shape that he looks back down the track, trying to find something to regret, and he cannot find anything to regret. That doesn't mean that he became amoral because of auditing. He merely became, to a marked degree, proof against criticism, in that he did not care whether he was criticized or not, in that his own opinions -- which is to say, his own postulates concerning his past -- had more validity than the disagreement or agreement of the environment concerning it."
