“So we always make it the first condition of a group to make its own way and be prosperous on its own efforts.

The key to such prosperity is exchange.

One exchanges something valuable for something valuable.

Processing and training are valuable. Done well, they are priceless.

In many ways an exchange can occur. Currently it is done with money.

In our case processing and training are the substances we exchange for the materials of survival.”

– L. Ron Hubbard, HCO PL 3 Dec 71 – Exchange 

First consider a group which takes in money but does not deliver anything in exchange. This is called rip-off. It is the “exchange” condition of robbers, tax men, governments and other criminal elements.

Never seek a subsidy for what you are doing as at once you or any subsidized office will cease to promote to the public individuals. You throw out anything or anyone who is working to make you get a subsidy or who demands a subsidy to operate an office, as there goes your public contact. It ceases to have a point as there’s no dependence on the public individual so he ceases to be served. Subsidy is a fine way to fail and always leads to a dead end. A subsidized office ceases to promote as it no longer depends on doing (3) Dissemination – accumulation of the identities of the persons and (4) Salesmanship – offering those identities something they will buy for its daily bread. So it is useless in the scheme of things and, not serving, becomes dangerous.

Now, I’ve talked to you a lot about exchange and you say, “Well, it doesn’t have much to do with Scientology,” and we have here on Scientology 8-8008 on page one, we have the factors. And the factors mostly concern exchange, probably’ve never realized that before. Before the beginning was a cause and the entire purpose of the cause, the creation of an effect. In the beginning and forever is the decision, the decision is to be. Let’s assume a viewpoint and so on, and number seven is "And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are made and there is communication." Exchange. The truth of the whole thing is that a thetan does what he does so that he can exchange, and if a thetan can’t exchange anything, he gets very miserable and very unhappy and that is one of the reasons why production is the basis of morale, elementary. So therefore when I talk to you about exchange, I’m talking to you really about the factors and if you want to look into those, study it over, you’ll see that it all fits. It’s the way life runs.

THIRD DYNAMIC TRIANGLE, I wonder if there isn't a third dynamic triangle like the ARC Triangle that goes:

Maybe People are A, Service is R and Funds is C. Sort of a solid ARC triangle. Seems to work that when you drop out people you drop out service you drop out funds. An org that dismisses staff to save money drops service and winds up with a high debt. In an org when I manage one directly, I always push up numbers of staff, push up service and the money rolls in. There is a contrary fact. Governments use tons of people, absorb tons of funds and give no service and are largely out of ARC. So it isn't just numbers of people that made the A. "People" probably needs a special definition. It may be "beings" or "productive individuals" or people in affinity with each other.

The only reason orgs exist is TO SELL AND DELIVER MATERIALS AND SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO GET IN PUBLIC TO SELL AND DELIVER TO. THE OBJECT IS TOTALLY FREED BEINGS!
