Template:ScientologySeries The Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) was incorporated in the State of California, USA in 1982. This non-profit organization owns all the copyrights of the estate of L. Ron Hubbard. The CST does business under the assumed name of L. Ron Hubbard Library. The CST is unusual in that it has no members or clergy, which is allowed under California law. This church gets its income from royalty fees paid to it by licensing of the copyrighted materials of Dianetics and Scientology to Scientology-connected organizations approved by the Religious Technology Center, and from its wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary Author Services Inc. which publishes Hubbard's literary works.
The CST oversees the Scientology scriptural archiving project, which aims to preserve the works of Hubbard on stainless steel tablets and encased in titanium capsules in specially constructed vaults throughout the world. The most famous example is the Trementina Base, an underground vault built into a mountainside near Trementina, New Mexico. It is marked by a CST logo visible only from a high altitude and is patrolled by armed guards.
For the first 21 years of its existence, few members of the Church of Scientology ever heard the name Church of Spiritual Technology. Its founders included Meade Emory, a non-Scientologist who used to work for the Internal Revenue Service. Unlike other Scientology organisations (which require all corporate officers to be Scientologists in good standing), the Church of Scientology includes "Special Directors" who are not required to be Scientologists, but who are required to be lawyers. This seems to contradict a policy set by L. Ron Hubbard in 1971 from the Flag Executive Briefing Course, 7101C24 SO FEBC-8, "Viability and the Role of the HAS", page 5 of transcript, 5th paragraph:
- "There are two people you never want anywhere near an organization in control of that organization. Two people. They do not establish management policy. One of them is accountants, and the other is lawyers. And this isn't my datum, and it's not built out of my antipathies to either of these people."
and also from the Establishment Officer Lectures, 7203C06 ESTO-11, "F/N'ing Staff Members - Part 1", eighth page of lecture transcript, end of 2nd and beginning of 3rd paragraph:
- "An organization must never be run by either a lawyer or an accountant.
- "They will both try to move into the field of management and they will both try to tell you what to do, and they are the two types of individuals who are not qualified to run an organization. Why? Because their think is wrong. The lawyer's think is caution, the accountant's think is just the money he sees on the ledger in front of him."
