Dianetics has a great many friends. It has a few small, measly and unimportant enemies.
Nevertheless, it is a very dull fellow who neglects all of his enemies. Of course,
I could spend the rest of my life hunting down these dogs, but I've got more important
things to do. I know enough about the modus operandi of theta/entheta to know that all
I would succeed in doing is enturbulating the devil out of myself and out of Dianetics.
All I can keep doing right at the present time is just carrying the ball, getting out some
books, advancing research and taking care of the things in Dianetics which have to be cared for. The
entheta line has to be left where it lies.
We have to stand together when it comes to the effort of thrusting out a new idea, a new
concept and a new goal, into a reluctant and debased society. We have got a great deal of work to do.
For your own safety and the security of Dianetics, the use of proven procedure, until proven
procedure is altered by these new techniques, should be a primary concern of yours. Believe me,
I think I have proven myself to be your friend with regard to them, and I would like to have you
be mine with regard to them. (1951, The Completed Auditor, II - Dynamics, Interior
