Game (Scientology)

Game (Scientology)

In the Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard's concept of "game" is defined in the Official Scientology and Dianetics glossary as:

game: a contest of person against person or team against team. A game consists of freedoms, barriers and purposes, and there is a necessity in a game to have an opponent or an enemy. Also there is a necessity to have problems, and enough individuality to cope with a situation. To live life fully, then, one must have in addition to "something to do," a higher purpose, and this purpose, to be a purpose at all, must have counter-purposes or purposes which prevent it from occurring.

The Aberree noted in its Volume 3, issue 1: "Scientology is Hubbard's game......It is also anyone's game who really wants to own and play it." [ [http://www.aberree.com/v03/n01p12.html Volume 3, Issue 1, page 12 | The Compleat Aberree ] ]
