The Conditions Formulas

The MultiGen Mindset Framework for Reading Your Life and Rising Upward

Every part of your life — your work, your finances, your relationships, your leadership, and your spiritual growth — is always operating in one of several conditions. The Conditions Formulas are precise, step-by-step procedures for recognizing exactly which condition you are in and taking the right actions to climb to the next level. Apply the correct formula and you rise. Misread your condition and you slip downward.

Below are the six core conditions — Non-Existence, Danger, Emergency, Normal, Affluence, and Power — each with its purpose, the signs that you are in it, the steps to rise through it, common mistakes, reflection questions, a working affirmation, and the specific way money should be handled at that level.

These formulas are Scientology technology — specifically the Conditions of Existence (the Ethics Conditions) developed by L. Ron Hubbard and taught in Scientology Ethics. This material is Scientology Tech, reworded and expanded here through the MultiGen Mindset framework as a practical discipline for living. All rights to the original technology belong to their respective owners; MultiGen Mindset is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Church of Scientology.
Condition

Non-Existence

Purpose

To establish connection, identity, and value when entering a new environment, role, group, or responsibility.

Summary

Non-Existence occurs whenever you enter a new job, role, group, or area. You are unknown to others and must integrate through communication, understanding, and aligned production.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • You are new to a group or position.
  • Others do not yet know who you are.
  • Your contributions are not yet visible.
  • You have no established production record.
  • You are unclear about expectations or needs.
Example Scenario

Starting a new role in an organization where you must quickly discover what the group needs and begin contributing real value.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Find a communication line — identify who you report to, who you coordinate with, and who handles key functions.
  • Make yourself known — introduce yourself directly, professionally, and clearly so people know your role.
  • Discover what is needed and wanted — observe, ask, listen, and study what the group actually requires, not what you assume.
  • Produce and deliver it — deliver needed production quickly and accurately, which moves you up to higher conditions.
Common Mistakes
  • Assuming you already know what is needed.
  • Hiding or staying quiet instead of introducing yourself.
  • Producing things no one asked for.
  • Trying to change things before fully understanding the environment.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What communication lines must I establish right now?
  • What does this group truly need from me?
  • Where can I deliver value immediately?
  • How can I make my presence known respectfully and professionally?
Affirmation
I integrate quickly, confidently, and with purpose. I discover what is needed and deliver real value.
Outcome

Done correctly: You become a known, contributing, trusted member of the group.
Done incorrectly: You remain unknown, disconnected, ineffective, or create confusion.

Spiritual Development Principle

Non-Existence develops humility, awareness, and the ability to listen and serve.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Non-Existence you embrace the spirit of the Initiate. This stage is about humility, openness, and the willingness to learn and integrate. True growth begins by listening and understanding the environment, laying the foundation for meaningful contributions and genuine connections.

Leadership Focus: A leader in this condition focuses on connection and understanding. Your role is to bridge gaps, foster trust, and align with the group’s needs, leading by example with openness and a collaborative spirit.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include uncertainty, curiosity, and a sense of being overlooked. Handle these by encouraging open communication, fostering inclusivity, and providing clarity and direction.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: Money is barely coming in. Cashflow is unsteady. The environment does not yet know or trust you, and the activity may not be started yet or has dropped to zero.

Strategy:

  • Spend almost nothing.
  • Pay only what keeps the activity technically alive.
  • No expansion spending and no back-bill payments.
  • Make your only financial priority showing up and producing.

Key Rule: “Cash is sacred. Every dollar must go to production first.”

Reserve / Savings: 0% into savings — all flow goes to promotion.

Goal: Free up maximum cash to establish presence and begin producing.

Condition

Danger

Purpose

To take immediate control and stop further decline or threat to survival, production, or stability.

Summary

Danger is assigned when production is crashing or the area is at risk. You must act decisively — bypassing routine, correcting the situation, and reorganizing for stability.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • Production has fallen sharply.
  • Systems are failing or chaotic.
  • Deadlines are being missed.
  • People are confused or overwhelmed.
  • Crisis, confusion, or disorganization is present.
Example Scenario

A department losing clients rapidly requires bypassing normal routines, taking direct command, fixing the urgent issues, and reorganizing for stability.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Bypass habits and routines — do not follow failing systems; jump in directly.
  • Issue your own new orders — create new instructions that handle the real situation.
  • Handle the danger — confront and fix the immediate threat or cause of decline.
  • Reorganize to remove the cause — repair the broken structure so danger cannot recur.
  • Assign roles to stabilize — make responsibilities clear and aligned with the new structure.
  • Resume normal operations once danger is removed.

Danger ends when truth is faced, systems are corrected, and responsibility is restored. It demands bypass, truth, and decisive correction — anything less prolongs the crisis.

Common Mistakes
  • Waiting instead of acting.
  • Following old routines that caused the danger.
  • Failing to confront the real source of danger.
  • Not reorganizing afterward, leading to repeated crises.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What is the exact danger right now?
  • What must be confronted immediately?
  • What broken system allowed this danger to occur?
  • What must be reorganized to prevent future danger?
Affirmation
I take decisive action, confront truth, and restore stability.
Outcome

Done correctly: The area stabilizes quickly and rises back to Normal.
Done incorrectly: Crisis becomes chronic, leading to Emergency or collapse.

Spiritual Development Principle

Danger develops courage, confrontation, and leadership under pressure.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Danger you embody the spirit of the Warrior. This stage is about courage, decisiveness, and bold action to protect and stabilize. True leadership emerges when you confront threats head-on, ensuring the safety and integrity of your environment.

Leadership Focus: A leader here focuses on protection and immediate action, taking charge, making swift decisions, and reorganizing resources to neutralize threats and restore stability.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include fear, urgency, and heightened stress. Handle these by maintaining calm, providing clear directives, and reassuring your team while addressing the crisis.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: You are losing money. Bills are piling up and cash is falling. Investigate any non-production, waste, or dishonesty around money, and remove anyone draining cash without adding production.

Strategy:

  • Halt all back-bill payments.
  • Pay only bare-minimum expenses to keep the activity alive.
  • Put every possible dollar into production and promotion.

Key Rule: “If it does not produce money today, it does not get paid.”

Reserve / Savings: 1–3% of revenue into security savings (reserve seed planting).

Goal: Stop the bleeding and redirect all cash toward fixing the crisis.

Condition

Emergency

Purpose

To stop decline and increase production through rapid action, efficiency, and discipline.

Summary

Emergency is assigned when production is falling. You must promote, economize, shift strategy, and enforce strong ethics.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • Statistics or income falling.
  • Overwhelm or chaos increasing.
  • Resources stretched thin.
  • Declines occurring week to week.
  • Pressure rising with no relief.
Example Scenario

A business suffering declining revenue must promote hard, cut waste, shift its operational basis, and correct the source of the drop.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Promote, promote, promote — increase communication, visibility, and outreach.
  • Change your operating basis — stop what is failing and shift to what works.
  • Economize — cut unnecessary costs and time-wasters.
  • Prepare to deliver — organize for incoming demand.
  • Stiffen ethics — remove distractions and enforce discipline.
  • Evaluate and handle the sources of emergency — identify and eliminate the root causes.

Emergency ends the moment you promote, economize, change basis, and bring the environment under your control.

Common Mistakes
  • Making big changes instead of strategic ones.
  • Failing to promote strongly enough.
  • Cutting the wrong resources.
  • Not enforcing discipline.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What must I promote immediately?
  • What failing tactics must I stop?
  • Where am I wasting resources?
  • What is the true source of this decline?
Affirmation
I increase production, remove waste, and regain momentum.
Outcome

Done correctly: Production rises back to Normal and then toward Affluence.
Done incorrectly: Emergency becomes chronic, leading to danger and burnout.

Spiritual Development Principle

Emergency develops discipline, efficiency, and clarity.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Emergency you take on the role of the Strategist. This stage is about resourcefulness, efficiency, and rapid adaptation. True progress is achieved by optimizing resources, promoting innovation, and enforcing discipline to overcome challenges.

Leadership Focus: A leader here focuses on efficiency and adaptability — streamlining operations, promoting essential actions, and keeping the team focused and productive under pressure.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include overwhelm, frustration, and urgency. Handle these by prioritizing tasks, maintaining discipline, and guiding your team through streamlined processes.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: Income is falling, expenses are rising, and you must turn the trend around fast.

Strategy:

  • Promote heavily.
  • Cut all waste.
  • Adjust spending to whatever generates money this week.
  • Delay all debt until out of Emergency — pay only rent, utilities, essential operations, and minimum mandatory obligations.

Key Rule: “Promote + economize = survival.”

Reserve / Savings: 3–5% of revenue into security savings.

Goal: Reverse the downtrend and push revenue to the point you re-enter Normal.

Condition

Normal

Purpose

To maintain consistent production and avoid destabilizing changes.

Summary

Normal exists when things are steady. The primary rule is: do not change things wildly. Make only slight improvements.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • Production stable week to week.
  • No major swings in results.
  • Systems functioning predictably.
  • Calm, balanced activity.
  • Stable morale and environment.
Example Scenario

A business hitting consistent weekly revenue should not overhaul everything, but rather protect stability and apply small enhancements.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Do not change anything that is working.
  • Ease back pressure lightly — remove unnecessary force while maintaining output.
  • Preserve what works — protect successful systems.
  • Push slight improvements — add small enhancements.
  • Maintain production without wild swings — keep statistics steady and predictable.

Guard stability. Strengthen the systems. Improve with precision. This is the essence of Normal operation.

Common Mistakes
  • Introducing unnecessary big changes.
  • Becoming complacent.
  • Failing to maintain order and discipline.
  • Not watching for slow decline.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What is currently working well?
  • What small improvements can be added?
  • What must be preserved at all costs?
  • What early signs of decline must I watch for?
Affirmation
I maintain stability and strengthen predictable success.
Outcome

Done correctly: Stable, predictable growth.
Done incorrectly: Unnecessary changes trigger Emergency or Danger.

Spiritual Development Principle

Normal develops consistency, patience, and focus.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Normal you embody the spirit of the Steward. This stage is about consistency, patience, and sustainable growth. True success is maintained by nurturing stability, preserving what works, and making incremental improvements.

Leadership Focus: A leader here focuses on stability and continuous improvement — protecting successful systems, fostering a balanced environment, and encouraging steady progress.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include complacency, mild anxiety, and routine comfort. Handle these by maintaining vigilance, encouraging small enhancements, and preventing stagnation.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: Money is flowing at a predictable, stable level. You have economized, normal flow is in, savings are accumulating, and now you keep it going unchanged.

Strategy:

  • Maintain consistency.
  • Apply small improvements.
  • Keep the financial system stable — pay bills on time, keep expenses consistent.
  • Do not expand aggressively, take on new debt, make major investments, or spend out of emotion.

Key Rule: “Do not make big financial changes.”

Reserve / Savings: 5–10% of revenue into security savings — a reserve fund you do not touch, kept to protect against future drops.

Goal: Hold the financial line steady and prepare for Affluence.

Condition

Affluence

Purpose

To protect and strengthen a surge of success, avoiding the common crash that follows achievement.

Summary

Affluence occurs when production rises sharply. The formula prevents reckless expansion and ensures the success becomes permanent.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • Sharp increase in production.
  • Higher income than usual.
  • Systems running efficiently.
  • High morale and momentum.
  • Demand increasing.
Example Scenario

A business suddenly doubles income. Instead of overspending, Affluence requires economizing, paying bills, investing wisely, and reinforcing what caused the rise.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Economize — prevent overspending or resource drain; do not commit to new expenses, people, or things.
  • Pay every bill — past-due bills, old debts, vendors waiting, and taxes.
  • Invest the remainder wisely — expand or strengthen systems strategically.
  • Discover what caused the affluence — identify the exact causes of success.
  • Strengthen and reinforce that cause — double down on what worked and remove what did not.

Do not let success make you careless. Affluence is the test of identity: will you strengthen what built you, or forget how you rose? A king does not celebrate Affluence — he protects it.

Common Mistakes
  • Overspending.
  • Assuming success will continue automatically.
  • Expanding too quickly.
  • Failing to identify what caused the success.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What new resources must I protect?
  • What exact actions created this success?
  • Where should I wisely reinvest?
  • What should I reinforce immediately?
Affirmation
I protect success, strengthen it, and turn it into long-term prosperity.
Outcome

Done correctly: Affluence becomes the new stable level.
Done incorrectly: The surge collapses, leading to Emergency.

Spiritual Development Principle

Affluence develops stewardship, gratitude, and wise expansion.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Affluence you assume the role of the Builder. This stage is about stewardship, wise expansion, and gratitude. True prosperity is sustained by careful resource management, strategic investment, and reinforcing successful practices.

Leadership Focus: A leader here focuses on stewardship and strategic growth — safeguarding resources, investing wisely, and building upon the foundations of success to ensure long-term stability.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include excitement, temptation to overspend, and overconfidence. Handle these by promoting financial prudence, reinforcing disciplined growth, and focusing on sustainable expansion.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: Production surges and revenue spikes. You have more money coming in than usual — more than you need.

Strategy:

  • Economize first and stop unnecessary spending.
  • Pay every bill, including all back-bills, old debts, and taxes.
  • Invest the leftover wisely into marketing, better systems, and expansion.
  • Find what caused the affluence and protect it; expand only the successful action.

Key Rule: “Affluence is when you finally pay every single bill — and do not buy new stuff. If you spend more instead of invest more, you will go bankrupt.”

Reserve / Savings: 10–20% of revenue into security savings.

Goal: Convert temporary success into permanent financial stability.

Condition

Power

Purpose

To stabilize long-term success and pass strength downward into the organization or environment.

Summary

Power is achieved when you rise through all conditions and consistently produce at a high level. The formula ensures stability, ethics, and strategic leadership.

Signs You Are In This Condition
  • Consistent high production.
  • Strong team or support beneath you.
  • Clear systems and organization.
  • High trust and influence.
  • Long-term stability.
Example Scenario

A leader running a thriving division ensures the organization beneath them is strong, teaches successful methods, and maintains high ethics.

Steps to Rise Through This Condition
  • Do not disconnect from the flows that created power — stay connected to what works.
  • Write up your successful actions — document winning strategies.
  • Teach these actions to your juniors — strengthen others through training.
  • Strengthen the organization beneath you — build systems, structure, and leadership layers.
  • Maintain ethics and keep the area relentlessly clean — protect integrity and eliminate decay.

True power is the ability to build order, raise leaders, and establish a structure that endures beyond your lifetime. Power is maintained by staying connected to what created it, writing your successful actions, and strengthening the lines beneath you.

Common Mistakes
  • Disconnecting from successful actions.
  • Letting discipline or ethics decline.
  • Failing to teach juniors.
  • Assuming power is permanent without maintenance.
Self-Reflection Questions
  • What exact actions created this power?
  • Who needs to be trained beneath me?
  • What systems must be strengthened?
  • What ethical standards must be upheld?
Affirmation
I build legacy, strengthen others, and maintain ethical power.
Outcome

Done correctly: Power becomes long-lasting and expands through the organization.
Done incorrectly: Loss of power, decline, or collapse of the leadership structure.

Spiritual Development Principle

Power develops legacy, mastery, and generational impact.

MultiGen Spiritual Lesson: In Power you embody the spirit of the King. This stage is about legacy, mastery, and generational impact. True power is sustained through mentorship, ethical leadership, and the continuous strengthening of the organization. As others rise, so do you.

Leadership Focus: A leader here focuses on legacy and ethical stewardship — mentoring others, maintaining high standards, and ensuring success is passed on and preserved for future generations. This is the condition where you pass on the systems, flows, and functions you have built, with leadership focused on delegation.

Common Emotional States & How to Handle Them: Typical emotions include confidence, responsibility, and occasional isolation. Handle these by fostering a culture of mentorship, upholding integrity, and encouraging collective growth. In this phase you must duplicate what you have built into others and pass on the torch of responsibility and function.

Financial Handling

Financial Reality: The business is producing consistently at a high level. Cashflow is stable, strong, and predictable.

Strategy:

  • Maintain ethical power and build infrastructure.
  • Delegate and strengthen the organization.
  • Invest in long-term growth and generational wealth — create reserves, build a capital fund, acquire property, and train juniors to handle money properly.
  • Codify the financial system with policies, checklists, and roles so juniors can run the money lines without collapse if you step back.

Key Rule: “In Power, you become the banker — investing in long-term Power Change.”

Reserve / Savings: 20%+ of revenue into security savings. When security savings reaches six months of combined expenses, stop contributing to the security fund and invest the same amount into capital accounts that fund other operations.

Goal: Build legacy and ensure the business survives beyond you.
