Happiness Rundown - English Edition
Based on the booklet "The Way to Happiness"
Essentially, what the booklet does is give people stable data which holds off confusions. For people will be found to be quite confused on this subject (morals).
This moral code is different in that it can be kept. It consists of 21 major rules or precepts and about 15 subrules making a total of about 36 in all. In number 20 there are about 20 additional items, in all, the rundown then would be handling about 56 separate concepts on the subject of morality, plus morality itself. There are probably around 10 steps for each concept. There are therefore over 500 questions or actions. This gives one some idea of the length of the rundown.
The object of the rundown is to clear up any confusion's on the subject of morals, any and all transgressions against these specific morals, to slide the person out of the valence of any immoral person and obtain an EP [endpoint] of realisation/cognition that one really is on the way to happiness.
Although the rundown is handling very hot charge, it runs very lightly and smoothly.
As these precepts and booklet do contain, in fact, the major principles of morality as they apply to modern life and as it is a fact that tragedy and unhappiness occur when these points are violated, the rundown should steer the person in the direction where s/he is certain s/he can live a happier life. So the rundown should be quite successful. It is quite a tour de force, really, to assemble the essentials into a modern moral code. And because these are somewhat universal, they will be found to have a lot of charge them as they were the points where one went off the rails.
The rundown itself picks up specific confusions, transgressions and valence closures. It will probably get rid of a lot of shame, blame, regret. A person should feel pretty clean and sparky after it. The potential is there.
Added May 2025. There were two editions of the Happiness Rundown. Ostensibly it was because the first one was done by David Mayo and David Mayo was in disgrace (possibly because people left Scientology or the Sea org having taken the original HRD). I can't see much difference between the two versions, but to be on the safe side I always take the first (original). The following is a link to background data in Scientolipedia: https://scientolipedia.org/info/Two_Happiness_Rundowns
-------------
If you have been in contact with someone who has broken one or more of these rules or precepts, negative characteristics of theirs are liable to brush off on you and the rundown helps eliminates that influence.
The last sentence is by Antony Phillips (in 2023) and the earlier part is taken from the Happiness Rundown materials.
