In closing, however, I would like to offer one more thought on what this day represents to Scientologists.

For when you consider the great religions of the world and look at the Vatican, or Mecca, and what their construction so many centuries ago meant to their faithful —therein lies a little of what this day means to a Scientologist.

Because the creation of our mecca is right here, and right now!

So as this building begins to rise, I want you to remember all it signifies, as a place of learning, as a place of wisdom, and as a place of spiritual freedom from which we work to achieve the aims of Scientology and what L. Ron Hubbard wrote in conclusion of those aims –

“The sun never sets on Scientology.

“And may a new day dawn for you, for those you love and for man.

“Our aims are simple, if great.

“And we will succeed and are succeeding at each new revolution of the earth.”

“Your help is acceptable to us.”

“Our help is yours.”
