[
0. the
company which operated all
Scientology organizations over the
world and was the
general membership
group of the Church from mid 1950s to mid 1960s. The Church of
Scientology International has replaced
HASI in the
operation of
orgs, and the International
Association of Scientologists (IAS) is the current membership
group.
(OEC Lectures Glossary)] 1. the
company which operates all
Scn organizations over the
world and
Saint Hill.
(HCO PL 20 Feb 65) 2. the first
organization we ever had in
Scn was the
Office of L.
Ron Hubbard. That was the
old Phoenix,
Arizona,
office that I first put together. It eventually became
HASI.
(SH Spec 57, 6504CO6) 3. the
principal Scn organization in the
world is the
Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. The
HASI in (city) controls all
Scn in (country). The
HASI is (country's) largest mental health
organization and has a dozen
practitioners for every one in other mental practices. The
association is not political in
nature. It is
humanitarian.
(HCO Info Ltr 14 Apr 61) 4. HCO has no
interest in the number of
personnel employed by
HASI in
tech or
admin, this being entirely up to the
Central Org officers. If
HASI thinks it can get along with far less and still
render service acceptable to
HCO, then it's all up to
HASI.
HCO's
primary function today is to do
broad dissemination and
drive business in on the
Central Org by any means within
HCO's
power. On
promotion, driving in people on the
Central Org is a
primary function. This does not mean
individual people. It means
masses of people.
HCO deals in
masses and mobs and
HASI deals in individuals.
HCO is a
mass dissemination organization.
HASI is an
individual service organization.
HCO is the "
Madison Avenue" of
Scn, meaning it's the
advertising broad public presence unit. But "
Madison Avenue" does not
run the
business it serves. It only makes them
look brighter to the
potential public. I think this gives us a new
look at
HASI-
HCO relationships and their zones of
responsibility.
(HCO PL 28 Oct 60, HASTHCO Relationship Discussed) 5. a
religious fellowship to which all the people interested in
Scn or the higher
level, higher
echelon of
life as a
science belong. This
organization (the
HASI) was put together by myself first as the HAS and then there was a
Raw in its
incorporation papers (which flaw is just simply an attorney's foolishness-he didn't
state accurately whether it was a
profit or non-
profit corporation). In
order to get over that we organized the
HASI. In other words changed its name to
Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. By the addition of that name we
got a reincorporation of it merely to clarify its
corporation papers. That
organization is mainly a
professional organization of auditors. It still does publishing, it does
handling and more important than that it has a
Corporation Service Department and that handles the various
business matters for a percentage of these other corporations. The
HASI is employed by other corporations which have
different boards entirely to do its
business. Rather than have a big
staff for the
Foundation (
Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation) which handles the
certificates and handles the mailing the
Foundation simply hires the
HASI staff to do this.
(541OC04) 6. the
HASI is not a successor
corporation to the HAS. The
HASI is a
religious fellowship and it is in
company with and affiliated with but is not the same
corporation as the Church of
American Science on the one
hand and the Church of
Scientology on the other
hand. These are three organizations which
fit together with the sole and
avowed purpose of doing something about the
human soul, about
life in
general. The two churches
involved there simply
form the
public organizations of the
HASI. With these two corporations we
form public congregations and so forth. The
public would belong to one of these churches individually. But everybody managing or
having anything to do with that church really on an official basis would actually be a
member of the
HASI. The
public doesn't belong to the
HASI. The
public belongs to the church.
(541OC04) 7. purpose: to
disseminate Scn. To
advance and protect its membership. To
hold the
lines and
data of
Scn clean and
clear. To educate and
process people toward the
goal of a civilized age on earth
second to none. To
survive on all
dynamics.
