Enlighten the people generally and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish.

The title of this post is from Thomas Jefferson. The brilliant Mr. Jefferson was a great observer of life and as a great observer of life could then take his knowledge and be an architect of the most successful nation in history.

As a student of Scientology I, like other Scientologists, have learned to observe and understand life more and more with integrity. Like most people, I am in agreement with Mr. Jefferson's quote that people should be enlightened and if then enlightened. (able to understand and observe better and better) then the world gets better, one person at a time.

What is meant by observation?

Well, to observe is see, to look at directly without prejudice or preconceived notions. When you can do that it ties directly into one's own personal integrity. With individuals gaining personal integrity through their own conclusions base on observation - each person becomes better.

Here's what philosopher L. Ron Hubbard says in part about Personal Integrity:

"WHAT IS TRUE FOR YOU is what you have observed yourself and when you lose that you have lost everything.

What is personal integrity?Personal integrity is knowing what you know–What you know is what you know–And to have the courage to know and say what you have observed.

And that is integrity.

And there is no other integrity. "

As an aside, if you're wondering What Scientology is, try observing directly by reading the Scientology sites or reading Mr. Hubbard's books. If you do, you may be on your way to the personal enlightenment that Thomas Jefferson refers to.
