View source for Spectatorism (HCOPL 800913)

Spectatorism is very great in our modern society.

Because some people cannot conceive of ''causing'' anything they just watch it. They don’t ''do'' anything. They are not '''participants'''. They are spectators.

You see this in magazines. Hee hee hee articles about how ''odd'' this is or that is. No understanding of it. It’s just odd and one watches it in a detached sort of way.

Below this is somebody who doesn’t even notice. Such a person has to come up scale just to be a spectator.

An unfinished cycle of action comes about because

# (a)  The importance of it is not grasped.
# (b)  The cycle itself is not fully understood.
# (c)  Non-compliance and false reports are given as a method of self-protection wherein are hopes it will not be noticed.

What we need are more '''participants''', more team mates. 

The degree you can be cause in handling the targets and needs of the group determines right away how far you’ve come up the line.

Blaming ''case'' is effect, isn’t it?

Sex is effect, isn’t it?

I don’t care what your grade is, you are alive. Your true ability depends on the degree you can exercise the definition of OT over your post in forwarding the purposes of the group.
