In a Lecture in 1959 by L. Ron Hubbard 5907C04 "HCO Worldwide and Research" he said:
"Hence, we have a program then, a program of codification
getting it into the file drawers. It's going to put a
little economic stress on us to get it totally wrapped
up and into the file drawers. We will still have service
units. Service will still be charged for, training and that
sort of thing will still be charged for because these things
cannot exist actually unless they are paid for. But as far
as data and the availability of data and so forth, that's
got to be free. It's got to be free before man can be free."
L. Ron Hubbard
The quoted lecture "HCO Worldwide and Research" was delivered by L. Ron Hubbard on July 4, 1959, during the Theta Clear Congress. Here is some background information on the context of the quote:
In this lecture, Hubbard first describes the acquisition of Saint Hill Manor in England as the new headquarters for the Hubbard Communications Office Worldwide (HCO WW). He explains how this estate is intended to serve as an economically independent base for Scientology's communication lines by generating its own income.
Hubbard then talks at length about what he calls "research fraud" in conventional psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis. He criticizes these disciplines for receiving billions in research funding without producing real results or helping people. In contrast, he presents the successes of Dianetics and Scientology, which were achieved with significantly fewer resources.
The main point of the lecture is that research in Scientology has been completed up to the level of "Theta Clear" (a very high state of spiritual freedom) and that it is now necessary to enter a phase of systematizing and disseminating these findings. The quote about the need to make the data freely available is also relevant in this context.
The "Codification" program aims to systematically organize and document all of Scientology's knowledge so that it is not lost and is easily accessible. While Hubbard emphasizes that services and training must remain fee-based to ensure the survival of the organization, he sees free access to basic data and findings as essential for human freedom.
The quote is therefore part of a broader vision for the future of Scientology as an organization that systematizes and makes its knowledge freely available while remaining economically independent in order to continue its mission.
