Introduction — Original Edition (1968), Restored

This edition provides the original version of L. Ron Hubbard's Introduction to Scientology Ethics exactly as it appeared in the 1968 edition, including original passages that were altered or deleted in later editions and without disorienting additions. In the foreword, the editor explains why this version is important and shows how later revisions have distorted ethics technology.

A practical, directly applicable handbook on ethics technology—not as an abstract teaching piece, but as a tool: this book guides you step by step through the conditions (from non-existence to danger and emergency to affluence and power) and provides a clear formula for each state that you can apply immediately in your everyday life. Whether it's relationships, health, career, or political responsibility—the condition formulas show how to recognize your current condition and what specific actions will lead you back up.

What is particularly valuable about this edition is that sections that were removed in later official editions have been restored here and explained in context. This gives you the complete original technology—not the revised, botched version from the 1970s or later.

What you will find in this book (highlights)

• A clear table of conditions and the associated condition formulas — directly applicable to individuals, teams, and organizations.
• Formula for a new position: how to systematically get from zero (non-existence) to stable working ability and beyond. Practical for new appointments, promotions, or restarting after a failure.
• Restored sections on handling betrayal and enemy states—historically removed material that led to the misuse of the lower states.
• Concrete, everyday steps—the book is structured so that the ethics methods can be applied without a special assistant; ethics is described here as a personal tool that brings immediate relief.

Who is this book for?

It is especially suitable for readers who want to learn about the original ethics technology—explained in full and in its historical context.
