Hello.

Well. Well, thank – thank you very much. Thank – thank you very much. You see – you see – I just came in from South Africa and I was wearing the wrong mock-up. I'm very sorry I have – if it occasioned any difficulties in the audience, why, let me know and I'll process it out. Now for those few who didn't understand it was a gag, let me introduce the lion.

Audience: Hello.

Thank you, thank you.

Imagine finding you here. You're going to get the idea that this congress is full of gimmicks. Well, it's just today that's gimmick day. You get no further gimmicks after today. Boy, what you will watch out for tomorrow.

How are you?

This happy sound here. You hear it?

Audience: Fine!

Audience: No.

Well, I guess we've got a congress.

You didn't hear it. Well, it's just bubbling away merrily. You can hear this one.

Audience: Yes, yes.

You see this thing? This is an electrostatic… Pretty good, huh? This is a skull. We were afraid he'd get his ears cold.

Have we?

This lecture is simply indicative, no more and no less, than the fact that the natural sciences, the physical sciences, are the basic sciences from which Dianetics and Scientology comes. And in this one hour I am going to show you the bones of a twenty-lecture course called the Anatomy of the Human Mind. I'm just going to give you a light pass over and show you what this type of course is all about because this course is going to be very important to you here and there, throughout the world.

Audience: Yes!

Therefore, I feel that you should know something about this course and that you should get some sort of an insight into it.

Well, by golly, I'm real glad to see you people. I didn't think I was going to get here. I didn't think I was going to get here at all.

Something new has happened. Something brand-new has happened. Many brand-new things have happened, but this particular brand-new thing is this: The world of the mind formerly belonged totally to the figure-figure of philosophy. It was owned property of the field of philosophy. It was the boys in the ivory tower who never went down and sweat and stunk in life who figured it all out. So, of course, they made very little progress.

I took off from Rome. That's a small area that still thinks it's in charge of the world. You know they haven't changed a thing in Rome, by the way. You know, they still give you bath towels you can't lift. You know. Still overcharge you for everything. Same rackets.

Now I'm not that one – kind of fellows. It's sometimes a shock to you that I am not one of these ivory tower characters. I'm not trying to tell you I have lived. But I am telling you that I have been down with the troops in the trenches.

Anyway. We were… I took off from Rome after waiting in the station there for six hours. And we flew all over the North Atlantic, and we flew all over the North Atlantic to such a degree, we couldn't get into New York - sleet and snow, you see, so they took off and went back to Newfoundland. By this time, any fish in the North Atlantic that sees me again will say "Hello, Ron!"

Life, life has to do with livingness. It doesn't have to do with figure-figure. Life has to do with environment. It has to do with beingnesses and doingnesses and havingnesses, and it's not the high and lofty thing of a big – a big – oh, read Spinoza. Read Spinoza. Oooh. Anybody who ever did otherwise than go nuts on such fare, was lucky.

But after spending a night with an Eskimo… you know, but he always lands on his feet. Anyway, I managed to get here and I'm awful glad to see you. So, hello!

Let me tell you. Life is life. Life is livingness and there are things with regard to life. And you want to know what is new about Dianetics and Scientology and what very, very, few people, except the old-timers in this field, fail to grasp is that Dianetics and Scientology is as demonstrable as a foot rule.

Audience: Hello!

Now there were many attacks upon the field of the humanities and the human mind. Many, many attacks from the field of the natural sciences. These began in the days of Newton. They tried to take Newton's three laws of motion and apply them to human livingness.

Now, factually this here congress, we have so much to talk about this congress that we're going to have to give a four-day congress here in these next two days. Hope that's all right with you.

There were several activities in that regard some hundreds of years ago. If you want to know more about them, read up on it in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. There are several remarks in the Encyclopaedia Britannica of trying to apply Newton's laws of motion to livingness in order to get a direct result. These failed. These efforts failed. They didn't get anything coordinative. I don't know how they missed, but they didn't.

Audience: Sure, yeah.

And as time went on, there has not been one natural scientist, not one physicist of any note, who has not tried to enter the field of the humanities.

It's very difficult, you know, giving a four-day congress in two days, because you live the time track twice. And you have to keep your eye on it because as the time track goes up, you see, and back to go up again, you're liable to get stuck on this go-back, you know, and find yourself in 1960, and God forbid!

What we are doing is not new. The effort and intention is not new. That it has come to fruition in terms of success is new and is the first time that any success has been obtained in this field.

Well, I can't see much of you there at the moment. We've put out the houselights, but you feel good. You feel very good. And personally, if I have many more 1960s, why, you won't be bothered by any more of these lectures. This has been a rough year. It's been a rough year. This was the year of the great – well, I would say the great change. This was the year when we stopped retreating and started attacking. This was the year when we decided we had been backward long enough and when we reversed the flow.

You'll find that a fellow by the name of Sir James Jeans wrote endlessly on this subject. He tried to enter the field of life from the field of the natural sciences. He felt that there ought to be something in the field of livingness as precise as we already had in the field of physics.

Want to talk to you a little bit about the history of Clearing. May I?

The reason natural scientists tried to do this is they felt an enormous impatience with the wiggle-waggle, figure-figure, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work of the humanities. They had a tremendous impatience for the impositive character of knowledge which existed in the fields of the past for the humanities.

Audience: Sure. Yeah.

You see how this could be. A natural scientist has the idea that a mountain exists or it doesn't exist. And it isn't dependent on anybody's opinion whether it exists or doesn't exist. A mountain is or a mountain isn't. And where were we in the field of the human mind? A fellow was nuts or was he nuts? There was nothing positive about it, you see?

That has a lot to do with this. Dianetics and Scientology now are really about thirty years old. Only ten years of this have we been together – besides those times on the backtrack. Yeah. Occasionally we do meet each other on the backtrack, you know. I mean, we have. I've run into a few instances. For instance, I remember being just a little bit late relieving a garrison in Numidia or someplace, and Suzie has never forgiven me. She keeps saying every once in a while, muttering to herself, "There you were, stopping at every tavern." But even these things can be processed out.

Anybody could make capital out of it. There isn't a person in this audience who hasn't at one time or another been called insane. Not one of you. That's right, isn't it?

Probably the genus of Dianetics and Scientology lies in the late twenties, really, when I was a young kid in the Orient. Strange place for a young American to be, watching all sorts of oddities, seeing nonsense such as little boys jump up to the top of ropes that weren't there, and people worrying and wondering about what the soul and mind were all about.

Somebody, some time or another has said you were crazy. On what evidence? On what evidence? And by the way, if you're still oppressed by the subject, I think you're sane.

And the more they seemed to know about it, the more impoverished they seemed to be. So I decided they didn't know much about it. But I thought, well, the Western civilizations have it all taped. America has it all taped. America knows everything.

Now, if an engineer has to pass a railroad from point A to point B, when he finishes his task, he either has a railroad from point A to point B or he doesn't have a railroad from point A to point B. That's all there is to it. He either has it or he doesn't have it. And nobody can come along and give his opinion on whether or not he has it. You get the idea?

So, while I was going to George Washington University, I conducted a series of tests. Which – actually they were tests of poetry of all things. I found out that poetry gives off the same wavelength in any language, and I was testing it out on Koenig photometers. And I said, "What's this all about?"

Audience: Yes.

So I went over to the psychology department, and there was a fellow over in the psychology department – I believe he's still alive here in Washington – and he said, "Where are you from?"

This is very different than the way they were feeling and working in the field of the human mind.

I said, "I'm from over in the engineering school."

All right. What we have done that is spectacular is to make a complete breakthrough in the field of the human mind, taking the predictable, practical character of the physical sciences and moving them over into the humanities. And that is what has happened in Dianetics and Scientology. You can argue with it for years and it still exists that we have made the breakthrough.

He said, "Why don't you stay there?"

We can change IQ. We can change personality. We can alter and handle human interpersonal relations on a highly positive basis. The degree that we can handle them actually is the degree that we are experienced and able in the fields of Dianetics and Scientology because Dianetics and Scientology has the answers.

And I said, "Well, I would happily, but I just want to know some of the stuff that you chaps have already got taped, you know. You know, some of the stuff you've already got figured out, and so forth. And, do all minds react the same to poetry? You know. Is there a repetitive wavelength that goes through all minds, and are all minds the same?"

Now, that's a new look. Even to some old-timers, that's a new look.

He said, "You say you were from the engineering school?"

There are twenty items in Dianetics and Scientology that have nothing to do with figure-figure. Twenty separate items which are as solid as one of these test tubes. Twenty separate, different items are included in Dianetics and Scientology which form the backbone of this new lecture series: The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course. I haven't even written up the course yet. However, it's being given in Joburg and it is fantastically successful. Guys are just walking in off the street, never knew anything about anything, and the Instructor there, giving one – they come in any part of the course, you see? And the Instructor gives this lecture right according to a formula, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Shows them the item and then makes them find it in one another and then has a discussion period, and that is the whole thing.

And I said, "Yes."

And these people are going, wow, you know?

He said, "Well, poetry belongs in the arts college."

Why are they going wow? It's because they're not expected to sit there and figure-figure about it. Here is a thing, a concrete thing, and it can be demonstrated to them that it exists independent of opinion.

So you know me, I got right down to cases, and I says, "Do you know anything about this or don't you?"

And existing independent of opinion, it therefore and thereby becomes as exact and accurate as the physical sciences. And there is our breakthrough. We have a practical subject that has nothing to do with anybody's beliefs.

And I made the horrifying discovery in 1931 that nobody had the mind taped. That was it. It was a totally wide-open field.

Every once in a while I am accused of romping fantastically and meanly and viciously over people's personal beliefs. Well, you'll find out that I really don't try to. I don't try to stamp all over their personal beliefs. I only ask them to realize I have mine.

There was philosophy, but there was nothing that had anything to do with the mind. Not really. There were a bunch of suppositions back in the fifteen, sixteen hundreds. There was something called faculty psychology that was taught by the Catholic church. Had to do with the examination of perception.

Look, today people aren't arrested for murder. The country's full of murderers who have never been caught. People are arrested and tried today for behavior. Is their behavior peculiar or isn't it? Does it agree with the norm or doesn't it?

Then I found out, in 1870 a fellow by the name of Wundt had decided we were all animals. He didn't have any evidence. He wasn't there. And he had established a modern school known as psychology. But psychology is defined this way: psyche-ology; spirit, study of.

Do you realize that that great un-American activity called the US government has as a basic rule that in times of national disaster, such as an atomic bombing, if they find anybody who was trying to do anything about the situation, he is to be arrested at once! Did you know they had that rule? Well, read their schoolbooks. Read civil defense books.

First line of any textbook in psychology is likely to run as follows: "Of course, we know nothing about the spirit or whether it even exists." Just psyche-ology, and, "we don't know if the spirit exists," and yet, this is the study of the spirit. Psyche: spirit.

If anybody is trying to do anything or is being active, he is therefore being dangerous. Did you know that? That's behavior; policing of behavior. It'll get to a point finally that if you have a belief or if you behave in a certain way – they used to call them eccentrics, now they call them crazy.

Well, what is this thing called psychology? What is this thing called the mind? What is this all about?

You're getting to a point where you don't dare relax because behavior is being policed; because nobody has an idea of what right behavior is or what wrong behavior is. Somebody gets an opinion that something is wrong behavior and that's what's policed. This country, by the way, is one of the great sinners on the idea of trying people in public opinion. They throw it into the newspapers, and the guy's done. He's not tried in courts. He's tried by public opinion. That's policing of behavior.

I tried to find the smallest particle of energy, was what I was looking for, and I concluded it must be in the human mind. I put out a theory at that time, which, by the way, got currency in Austria.

But do they find out if the fellow who are policing him are sane or insane; if these people themselves are psychotically attacking or are psychotically critical or anything? Do they ever find out about these fellows? No. Because they don't know anything about that field.

And it ran this way. It said… I figured out how many perceptions there were (I didn't know there were fifty-three at that time, I thought there were some fifteen, or something like that), and figuring that the eye ran at the rate of a twenty-fifth of a second. They now claim it runs at a tenth, but mine runs at a thirty-fifth, so some argument there.

Now look, for a people to be free, they must be free to behave as they think proper, so long as that behavior is not injurious to the – a greater number of the dynamics. You got the idea?

Man, taking mental image pictures and recording them, must be storing them someplace. All right, that's fine. But the calculation was that protein molecules, if they have holes in them, might require the storage – I've forgotten these actual figures – a hundred memories per hole and twenty holes to a molecule or something like this. And it comes out to the matter of twenty-of ten to the twenty-first power binary digits of neurons, and if everything a man experienced in three months was so recorded and so stored, he had exhausted his entire memory supply and nobody could possibly remember longer than three months ago.

As soon as they tell you that this is wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong, ask them sometime, "Well, what's right?" and stop them in their tracks.

Something wrong with this, but I put it out as a theory to demonstrate that man couldn't possibly remember mechanically. And in Austria they put out the theory again from that original paper saying that this was how man remembered. I thought, "Somebody's alter-ising around here."

No, when the whole of the humanities gets summed up into this figure-figure thing called behavior, based on something nobody knows anything about, the Tightness and wrongness of existence goes by the boards. And people become slaves just on this one thing alone.

But going forward from that time, it was not until 1938 that I had a common denominator of all livingness. I had studied amongst very primitive cultures – and at the Explorers Club, by the way, am known for that field, the field of ethnology, not archaeology as they call it in the colleges. It's ethnology. An ethnical field. Primitive cultures.

They are slaves because they are ignorant. What man in the society is right? What man in the society is decent? These are questions that can't be asked.

And I knew I had evidence that survival was a common denominator to all these races – this is apparently what they were trying to do – and possibly would work out as a common denominator to all life.

Well, look, what's a government going to do, run totally blind? Well, as long as you don't know anything about human beings, what else is there to do but drive totally blind and hope for the best. Think of that.

And going along in that wise, did quite a bit of research, which actually culminated theoretically in 1938. I was up at the Explorers Club and ran head-on to our first international complications, which is why we fight on an international front.

How would you like to be somebody in charge of this government right here at this moment with no more knowledge of the human mind and human existence than a government official at this time, does have? You'd go mad because you couldn't tell whose heart was in the right place and whose heart wasn't; who did a job – who would do a job and who wasn't; what anybody's motives were or what they weren't. All you could do is guess.

I better tell you about this because you will wonder and think I am opinionated and against people unless I tell you about this. This is old news to a lot of you. I'm trying to tell it the same way, too.

You wouldn't know whether your own party was supporting you or not if you didn't know anything about the mind.

The – works this way: Any government these days is terribly interested in how the mind works, but dead against anybody that knows more about it than they do. Figure that one out.

Now, when it all goes into opinion and when it all goes into theory and when your behavior is all totally policed, you are no longer free and you can no longer govern and people can no longer live happily.

I was at the Explorers Club for tea and there was a fellow there whose name was Commissar Galinsky. He was from Amtorg, the American-Russian Trading Organization, which at that time served as the – well, we had no diplomatic relations with Russia and they served actually as the diplomatic channel: Amtorg, New York.

You have to have a practical science, not a science that is a good science because some philosopher with a long, grey beard in some ivory tower has said, "This is wisdom."

And this Russian smiled at me and he said, "I've been hearing about your researches from some of your friends. I understand that you know something about what makes man work and how you can select men who will work and men who won't work."

Whole nations have gone by the boards – whole, whole nations – because they had a bunch of wisdom, none of which made any sense. India, China, these are countries which right now are almost gone. They're in total tumult. They have been upset with all manner of political flurries. They had great wisdom, didn't they?

I said, "Well, that might or might not be," rather defensively.

I knew, as a little boy in my teens, I saw their great wisdom. And I was disgusted with it because it always went with poverty and dirt, and that to me is not wisdom.

And he says, "Well," he said, " I'll tell you," he said, "we'd be very happy to make you an offer. As a matter of fact, I can have you talking to Stalin in about three weeks. We'll just fly over and talk to him." They were hiring lots of engineers for various things in those days.

Yes, anybody in his right mind should be able to tolerate having a dirty face for a while, but not be proud of it! Not have as one of the primary requisites of being a commissar, the fact that one can have filthy, dirty fingernails at all times and bite them.

And I said, "Well," I said, "I'm awfully, awfully engaged." I said, "As a matter of fact, I know a blonde up on Amsterdam Avenue…" No, that's another story. "And I have commitments in the United States, and I won't be able to go to Russia, thank you."

No, no. We have, we have in – on Earth here today, a great many woes and difficulties and a great many unhappy people, a great many starving people, a great many people who can't make it and they all stem out of the fact of ignorance. They don't know They have no literacy about the mind at all. They're living in a total darkness. And having no literacy, they can't understand their fellows and they don't know which man means them well and which man means them badly. They know none of the rules of the human mind.

Next time I saw him at tea at the Explorers Club – which is quite international, by the way. It still carried Nazi officers as members clear to the end of World War II. Famous explorers in Germany, famous explorers in Russia. All sorts of the allies and the enemy and everything else still held memberships in the Explorers Club, and the Explorers Club was being very, very careful not to cancel out their memberships before they knew whether or not they were missing or had forgotten to pay or were unable to pay.

What this world needs is a practical science, the parts of which are clearly visible. And if you can see this, then you can see into men's hearts and know them and live. That might not make sense to you at this moment. But it will. It will.

So he says to me, he says, "We've taken this up with Russia – with our government – and we're willing to offer you Pavlov's old quarters and two hundred thousand dollars and all your expenses for further researches."

But let's talk some more about this anatomy course.

Well, of course, I didn't have very much money in those days, and I thought, "Two hundred thousand dollars. Only trouble is it'll probably be paid in shinplasters or something of the sort."

This anatomy course is fantastic simply because it takes its audiences, raw meat off the street, and they take a look at it, and they say, "What?" "This is the anatomy of the human mind!" Well, it is, you know. And they just lap it up, and they say, "That's it." And they feel very happy about it, and things go whirr – click in their heads, and they go gee, you know, that's real good, and that's very true, and so forth, because we just show them twenty things that are real, that they can find anyplace.

And I said, "No, thank you, no, thank you." I said, "I don't think – I don't think I'd like to go."

Now, when I say things, I say – I mean things. There are twenty things. They are very concrete things. I'm not going to give you a list of them because I didn't bring my notes.

"Well, come over and have dinner with us. Come over and have dinner with us and talk it over."

This is probably the one time in history – this is the one time in history that I needed my notes. I'll write all these up and we will be able to actually get into it and do something. Ah! One of Kennedy's appointees.

Well, I had dinner with them, and talked it over, and said no. And they said yes, and I said no, and they said yes. Well, that was the end of a beautiful friendship. And that end has lasted to this day.

But having no notes, why, I'll just have to play it off the cuff and show you only this – I'm not going to show you these twenty things but I am going to show you this – that we are in possession of things. We are studying things.

The commie doesn't like us, not because they wouldn't be happy to use the information, not because they wouldn't be happy to use these organizations, not because they're against anything we believe in at all, but I said no.

Now, I want to discuss first some of the things that the predecessors, our predecessors, have been discussing. But this, oddly enough, is one of the things which is taught in this particular course. One of the things taught in this course, The Anatomy of the Human Mind, is an item which I think you had better inspect fairly closely because you probably have never seen one.

About two years later they broke into my quarters, or some unknown people did, something on that order, two or three years later, and stole the original manuscripts of this. I have a flimsy copy of the first manuscript of this subject which has never been published. It's not, however, complete. I've got – had withholds on you. The Russians have got the original.

It's very necessary that you see one, because our predecessors came aground on just this one thing.

Well, all went along very well and we got into a war. Do you remember there was a war? The war that ended nothing, except some of our healths and finances. World War II they called it. Well, this silly mess came along, and a lot of us went over and did various things. And after that – I had done quite a bit of study in the last year of that war of the endocrine systems and a bunch of things – and I did an enormous amount of work in 46 and 47 which finally culminated in the writing of the book Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health, published in very early 1950 – May, actually.

There is the human brain. Well, you think I'm kidding. There's a brain. And I hope you realize that this is all they study in psychology. They study the brain.

Well, just about the time it hit the stands, I was in Washington, DC. This very same city. And a very high ranking officer, a very, very, very high ranking officer you know, Brass! You know, Brass! Scrambled eggs, you know. Gilt on the cape edge, you know. Wow, you know. Just look at him – blinding.

Now, this stuff – this stuff is pretty – it's pretty ploppy. Now, it is – happens to be one of the things that is studied in the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

I was teaching some of the psychiatrists here in Washington how to run engrams, or trying to. The last effort we made, I think. We did make a sincere effort, by the way, to give Dianetics to psychiatry, to the medical profession, to teach them how to use it, and so forth, and we found out they didn't know what they were doing and we skipped it. That is – that happened clear back then. So don't think it's anything new when we claw up psychiatrists, or something of the sort. They started it. They kept asking me too many stupid questions in lectures I was giving and I never forgave them.

This brain is a shock absorber which prevents electronic currents from injuring the beingness of the person. It's an electronic shock absorber and people have them in their skulls. If you were to touch your skull at this moment – please do, touch your skull at this moment – realize one of these brains is under it. Would any of you like to – to tes – ?

Anyway, this bunch of scrambled eggs comes walking up the steps, and it was on a Monday, and he said to me, "Well, well, Hubbard, how are you?" you know, "Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. How are you, Hubbard?"

Now, this is the brain, and this purpose of the brain is to arrest impulses and prevent them from causing severe pain and injury. That is actually its basic purpose. Various parts of this brain are supposed to do guidance of currents and are supposed to connect up into the inner control mechanisms of the individual. But they do less so than is commonly believed.

And I said, "What – what's this guy want?"

Those studies in psychology which tended to demonstrate this, were taken from war casualties. If the brains of war veterans were injured in certain places and the war veteran could not move certain portions of the body, they then assumed that the brain controlled those portions of the body. And that is how the brain control pattern was made.

He said, "How would you like to work for the Office of Naval Research?"

However, in Dianetics and Scientology we have restored control of those portions even though that part of the brain remained missing.

I said, "Doing what?"

So there's the human brain and it's in the skull and it's one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. Okay?

"Oh, using what you know about the mind, you know, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Uh – to make people more suggestible." I won't announce this man's rank or name, not in public.

Audience: Okay.

But I said, "Well, sir" – it was in underscore and sir was in italics. "Sir," I said, "I'm not interested." After all, the book had just been published, the first Foundation was just forming, we were just kicking off and this guy wants to drag me into the Navy. He says, "Well," he said, "you'd better watch out, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha ha-ha, you'd better watch out, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Because I can pull you back into service at your old rank."

Okay.

"Oh," I said, "here we go." See?

If anybody'd like to inspect those, he can later. Okay?

So he left feeling very complacent; and I immediately got on telephones. I had to find some place in the United States, a naval district, that was stupid enough to let me resign. And I found them, God bless them, right down here at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue, the Potomac River Naval Command, which was set up during the Civil War to patrol the Confederate states, and was still a full naval district. Isn't that marvelous! It had admirals and everything, and I went in going, "Oohoo, oohoo, ahh, ahh, ahh." I had a service record and I had my health record, had my resignation all written out. And, factually, up until 1947, I was unable to walk without a cane, I couldn't see, I was blind. I got processing about that time, however, and ruined my naval record.

All right. Now, that's one lecture, and we're not going to give you the full lectures of these things, but don't you think it makes the man in the street green when he recognizes the situation. No racial prejudice guides this at all. I mean there's no racial prejudice involved in this.

And I showed the old admiral down there how I could never be of any use again to the Navy, showing him all the casualties, you know, and sheets of paper, and…"Oh," he says, "you poor fellow!"

This is another lecture of the series of the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

And I said, "Huu, huu, huu, yes, that's right, that's right!"

By the way, these lectures have an exact pattern. They go this way.

And he says, "You poor fellow. Yes, I'll accept your resignation."

One is a description and definition of Dianetics and Scientology. Mostly just a definition of Scientology, such as Scientology is the study of knowing how to know and is a study of the human mind, and so forth.

They rushed it up, got a special assistant to the Secretary of the Navy to okay it, and on Thursday, when the high brass came back to see me again, he says, "Well, have you decided?"

Then the second statement of the lecture is that if you finish this course, you get a course completion certificate because they keep forgetting it, and they'll stop attending lectures. That is to say they'll miss a lecture or two or something like that, thinking they can make it up later and still get a certificate, which they can't.

"Yes," I said, "I've decided not to go in."

The next statement is a description of what we're covering, this date. So it'd be the human brain. "We're going to cover the human brain. The human brain is something or other, something or other, and the psychologists have studied it, and they think it's this and that, and actually here…"

He said, "Well," he said, "I guess I have no other choice but to draft you in at your old rank."

Next is the thing itself, described and demonstrated. That is followed by having half of the audience find in the other half of the audience the thing described, and then, turnabout, have the other half find in the first half the thing described.

And I said, "I'm very sorry," omitting the sir (italicized), "I'm very sorry, but I'm no longer a member of the Armed Services."

Then there is a break and then they come back for a brief question discussion period and definitions, just to make sure they found out what this thing was, and that is the end of that particular lecture.

He said, "What's this?"

Do you get the exact pattern of this lecture? It is a pattern of demonstration of things. It has nothing to do with their philosophic aspect whatsoever.

I said, "Yes, as a matter of fact here it is. Here's the Secretary of the Navy's okay. He accepted my…"

Now, here is one of these things. And this is the way we demonstrate them. The human nervous system. If we were giving this in the lecture, I'd give you the definition of Scientology, and I would give you the fact that you would get a certificate if you finished the course successfully. I would give you the statement concerning the nervous system and then let you find nervous systems in each other, probably by hitting the reflex points, or your knees and things of that character.

And that was an end of a beautiful friendship with the American government. And I have to tell you all this, because it's not that it's terribly important, but it's very interesting from a standpoint of we have kicked in the teeth and have overts against the Russian government and the American government. And you wonder sometimes why the American government or something like that doesn't in a great burst of enthusiasm set up a hundred-billion-dollar project to fix up all of their pilots so they can fly airplanes, and their radar operations so they can watch radar, and their scientists so they can think.

But let us suffice here that we have a puppet. Here is this puppet. And this puppet, of course, in the hands – my hands here – can do various things and jump around and so on, and look fairly live.

And it goes right back to that engram. Office of Naval Research. "Hubbard said, 'No.' To hell with him."

But here's the human nervous system demonstrated. If you'll notice as I move this bar here, I move two black threads which you can see easily against my white coat.

Well, remember they didn't make up their minds that we were no good, and we were gyps and clips and stiffs and McGees, until we had said no. That's an important point. That's a very important point. We have not made friends or influenced people in those departments. But it has left us free. And we probably today are the only free organization on the face of Earth, and that is saying something. Because we are the only organization on the face of Earth which is winning flat out right this minute.

And now as I move those two threads one way or the other, we see the two feet go jumping up and down. Is that right?

The things I have to tell you in this congress, you will at first perhaps temper a little bit by saying, "Ron has been optimistic before."

Now, as I move this – as I move other cords and send messages down these lines, we get an accompanying dancing of the puppet.

I'm not being optimistic now. It's been my lot for eleven years to keep you from losing heart. To keep the show on the road and keep the gains and advances which you could obtain being gained and being advanced. And that's been my role for eleven years, so that I could do the research and train people with enough background so that we could keep it rolling.

Now, we can move the head, we can move the arms, and so forth. As we move one of these strings, we move that. Those are control lines. This could be called the nervous system. The nervous system also serves as a warning and a pain absorption system as well as a control system. Those three things are the things contained in a nervous system: warning, control and arrest of pain.

I knew that we couldn't clear everybody who walked up to us. I knew that. Now, if I never made that succinctly plain, although I believe I have told you that from time to time, it's because I didn't want to dampen your ardor, or upset you. But let me tell you this: it's been a mighty hard job keeping the show on the road, and if you hadn't been with me on it, it would have been a long time dead. So thank you very much for the part you have played in it. Thank you.

Now, a nervous system stops pain from reaching the individual rather than accelerates it. If you didn't have a nervous system that channeled it and slowed it down, it would probably damage the limb area or the body area far more, and so a nervous system is a pain absorption system.

Now, as we look over our accomplishments, we find they are many. And I have several things that I could announce to you and then explain to you later, and I think I'd better announce these things.

As we noticed that we pull a string, something jumps here. Now, if we were giving this lecture full out, I would simply have half of you find in the other half of you reflexes of one kind or another, or get you to move the other fellow's arm and make him move the arm, and so on.

Looking over the political background, it is not odd to find that we today float free of political commitments. We are not owned. This is the one organization on Earth that isn't owned and owes no favors. If we're for something, we simply think it's a good thing to be for. If we're against something we just think they're no good.

Actually, it becomes rather clear to the individual that he is moving the arm, if you get him to do it for a little while, and that he's using some kind of a string mechanism in order to do so.

I'm afraid there is no college professor in America could make this statement. I've had very many vivid illustrations of that fact. They have to think of their jobs, they have to think of the party line of the Republican Party or the something of the sort, you know. They have to think about what they're doing. They have to be consistently and continually alert to what they say. They can never be totally honest.

There is a lecture on the human nervous system which of course knocks out about two years of the college.

We can be honest, and it sometimes steps all over people's toes. But for that very reason we have enough verve to win.

Okay. So much for that fella.

A few months ago, we licked communism in Australia. Just like that. The biggest communist publication in Australia devoted the entirety of an article to an apology to us for all the dirty, nasty, vicious things they've been saying about Scientology. Magazine's name is The Nation.

Now, you think that – you think that you'd quickly run out of these things. Now, I'm not going to demonstrate to you the most obvious things in the world. One is the human body. Very obvious. That's a thing. The other is the physical universe. That's just a thing. And it's demonstrable. It exists. It is. But, much more important to us, there is the lock, the secondary and the engram, and these are certainly things. If you've ever made one bite somebody, you realize there is something there; not a belief.

The British Medical Association unfortunately went into collusion with the Communist Party in Australia. Don't ask me why. They have no part of the British Medical Association of England, by the way; they're Australian. But all of the statements being made by one of their fellows – the top man – I don't know, you had a fellow over here that was kind of this kind of a louse. Let's see, what was his name? Morris Fishcake. I think that was his name.

Oh, it used to drive me mad. As late as 1951,1 was still finding old Dianeticists around who believed that an engram was an idea somebody had. And it was just about all I could do to keep my cotton-pickin' hands off of them and keep from throwing them into birth or something, you know? Or roll them up in a prenatal ball, and say, "Well, it's just an idea you've got. Get out of it yourself."

He got sued, by the way, for pretending to be a doctor in Texas. And they awarded ten million dollars damages to the person who sued him. Did you know that was what happened to Morris Fishcake over here? That's right. Yeah, he pretended to be a doctor. He was in charge of the American Medical Association at one time. Oh, you don't know these things. They never get publicity somehow. Somehow we never read them on the front page. We read "Khrushchev says," "Khrushchev does." But we don't read things like that. I wonder why. Well, anyhow, we'll take that up in the last lecture.

Now, we have – we have these – these – these items. They're very demonstrable items. Actually, in the lecture series itself, we'll have an 8 millimeter motion picture of an incident taking place that is a lock, another incident which is a secondary and another incident which is an engram and also another incident which shows the overt-motivator sequence of an engram. These are all things.

The point I'm making here is they thought they could clean up on Scientology in Australia. They thought they could do it. They got a practitioner in Scientology who was somewhat squirrelly, who was operating up in Perth, and who had already gotten out of England because the organization was on his heels. And they tagged him with an arrest for practicing medicine without a license. This made them very brave.

Then we turn the audience around (each – each one of these is a lecture) and we have them find in one another these things. You would be fascinated that on a raw audience, just culled off the street, how – any engrams they can find and how often they curl up in a ball and go through the sperm sequence and do all sorts of wild things just like they used to in 1950.

They waited for months. They carefully prepared a campaign. And evidently, using all communist outlets, the British Medical Association spread a fantastic campaign against Scientology in the country of Australia. Awfully coincidental, isn't it? – the British Medical Association using communist outlets. And they tried to put us under the Health Department of Australia so that we could not practice or operate, so that we would be regulated.

Of course, those are very obvious items, aren't they? Well, a less obvious item is the overt-motivator sequence. It is a thing. The overt-motivator sequence.

And every Scientologist in Australia united arm-to-arm, took their pens in hand, and under a heavily directed campaign, fought back hard! They wrote every government official in Australia. Everybody was being inundated by mail saying, "How is it that the British Medical Association uses communist outlets in Australia?"

It is a very low order – let me tell you something about this and give you a demonstration of it – it is a very low order sequence.

And then we wrote a petition. And Scientologists in Australia took it around to all of the medical doctors. Individual medical doctors, who are good Joes, and don't have anything to do with their own associations. And they're the kind of slaves – that's right. We wrote a petition that said, "We do not feel that we are such expert healers that we should block all fields of healing, and we don't feel that we know all there is to know about healing. And that we are not presumptuous asses after all. And therefore we hereby do petition the Legislature and Parliament to soften their medical legislation and abolish the monopolistic appearance of the British Medical Association in Australia."

It falls out when the person ceases to be as reactive, because it is based upon and is a Q and A with Newton's law of interaction. For every action there's an equal and contrary reaction.

And these medicos, you know – Scientologists would walk up and say, "Would you please sign this petition?"

The overt-motivator sequence. If you do something to Joe, then Joe, of course, is going to do something to you, isn't he?

This medico, "What the-what – what the devil is this? What's this? Have we lost?" It's the kind of a document that you'd only sign if you had lost a war the hard way. Total surrender, see?

Well, the overt-motivator sequence is a little more serious than this. The plain law of interaction is that if I take the red ball and drop it against the yellow ball, then the yellow ball is going to come back and hit the red ball, isn't it? Watch. See? That's Newton's law of interaction at work. And people who have gone down and are beginning to Q-and-A totally with the physical universe use this law as their exclusive method of operation. Revenge, ha-ha-ha. "You hit me, I'll hit you. Ha-ha-ha-ha." "National defense: If we get enough atomic weapons, we will, of course, be able to prevent people from throwing atomic weapons at us."

Of course, none of them signed them, but they turned around and cut their own association to ribbons. And when they found out their own association chiefs were using communist channels, they turned around and cut communism to ribbons. They chopped everything up.

Think it over. If we got enough atomic weapons, what's going to happen to us? We're going to get clobbered with atomic weapons. Right?

And all of a sudden a very contrite government wrote us a letter and said, "Please, please, please! We're not going to put you under the Health Department. We're not going to do anything to you. You have a perfect right to practice, go away!"

Audience: Right.

I think party line in Australia now is "Don't say anything about Scientology." But you know, we haven't even heard them talking in general. We have learned something. We have learned that they are very afraid people and that they run. And all you have to say is, "Boo!"

Somebody talks about the fact that you can't lick the commies, for instance. You can use this same thing, this same item to lick commies with. They use propaganda all the time. Just use their propaganda. Commie propaganda? Red. Here it goes. Ta! Right in the teeth yet. And it's true; the one thing they can't stand is propaganda. Anticommunist propaganda, and man, do they curl up in a ball.

The United States will always have in it people who will reason that you shouldn't fight the enemy. As a matter of fact, that's all I have to find fault with with generals and admirals. They won't let you fight. You see, to be a general or admiral, one has to get promoted, and to be promoted one must never do anything bad or wrong, and to never do anything bad or wrong you have to have good training from your mother. And mothers don't like you to fight. So all the generals and admirals are usually trained not to fight and not to let other people fight. And we win wars in spite of them. I've said, "Well, so, so they've sold out to the enemy. That's all right. Go ahead and fight."

And there is this thing called the overt-motivator sequence. There is more to it than just Newton's law of interaction, which is why they didn't make it work in the 17th century; because there's more to it.

And we keep winning wars. We can win wars in spite of the fact that we have generals and admirals and politicians. They're not the fellows who do 8 any of the fighting anyhow. Have you ever noticed one out with a tommy gun?

If Joe hits Bill, he now believes he should be hit by Bill. More importantly, will actually get a somatic to prove he has been hit by Bill, even though Bill hasn't hit him. He will make this law true regardless of the actual circumstances. And people go around all the time justifying, saying how they've been hit by Bill, hit by Bill, hit by Bill.

Have you ever? You ever seen them out fighting in the trenches? I never have.

"My mother beat me every day." You put them on the E-Meter. You say, "Did your mother ever beat you?" The E-Meter never wiggles.

I remember I used to say, "Well, it's a good thing all the admirals that we have are very experienced in our particular branch of warfare because their experience has taught us an awful lot, taught us an awful lot here in World War II, taught us an awful lot. All you have to do is read their orders and know what you should do: do the opposite."

You say, "Now think it over. Well, just exactly – give me one time when your mother beat you."

It's a bitter war. There are always people in a country who will tell you not to fight the enemy. There are always people who will tell you that it's not nice to fight. These people also think it's not nice to win. But today across the world we are winning and not because we're not fighting.

"I can't remember any."

You see, we're in the wonderful position of being able to run out the consequences of having attacked somebody – before we get the motivator.

"All right. Now, think hard. Think hard. Something about your mother and beating you and so forth."

Now, there's one very signal victory. That's a very calm, beautifully affluent, nonattacked area of the world right now, Australia is. Of course, you have to keep fighting for liberty or the right to do.

"Oh ho. I just remember, I hit her with a baseball bat once."

South Africa: I'll tell you more about South Africa. There's a wonderful example of this sort of thing. We're winning there.

Yeah. But this has ever since expressed itself as a necessity to believe that Mother has beaten him, because this law must exist. Got the idea?

Nineteen fifty-four, fifty-five, fifty-six, all American activities and Scientology were bitterly fought in England. But that's all passed away. That's passed away. There isn't – there isn't any fight left in the opposition. They had actually fixed it up so I couldn't really enter the country. And all sorts of weird things were in the files. And I finally got some members of the British Parliament to go through the immigration files and clean out all this nonsense planted in it. And they cleaned it all out. And after that they say, "You want to stay a year, stay a year. If you want to stay ten years, stay ten years. You're all right with us."

Even though it hasn't occurred, human beings on a low reactive basis will insist that it has occurred. And that is the overt-motivator sequence.

You can win. That was all commie pressure. In the early days here in America, we had a tremendous amount of trouble with communism. It's either communists cause trouble, or they want to cause trouble, or people at a level that cause trouble become communists. Whatever the answer is, we had trouble with them. We're not having any trouble with them now. They'd think a long time before anybody'd launch an attack against a Scientology organization in the United States. We have hit back so hard. We hit back so out of proportion to the amount we're attacked that we win. I'm not joking.

If a fellow does an overt, he will then believe he's got to have a motivator or that he has had a motivator. If he hits somebody, he will tell you immediately that he has been hit by the person, even when he has not been. Got it?

Constant and continual alertness is the price of freedom. Constant willingness to fight back is the price of freedom. There is no other price, actually. And we have stayed across the world a free organization. There isn't anybody we have to take our hats off to. Nobody.

Audience: Yes.

The psychiatrists of any country are captives of that country. Do you realize that? The government brings in somebody and says, "Electric shock this fellow. He's politically unacceptable to us." They electric shock him. Why? Because most of those institutional posts are government-paid posts. Everybody would lose his job. You get the idea?

That's another one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. And a very valuable thing it is to know.

We are a free people. And we may be the last free people on Earth. I don't wish to exaggerate, but we very well may be. And in that particular role, we are winning – beyond your imagination. There are more people in HPA/HCA classes today. There are more people being processed than there ever were in the early sunburst days of Dianetics. It is enormously bigger. We have administrative and organizational networks of considerable size, effectiveness and magnitude. We are there. We have an office on every major continent on Earth and sometimes two. We are people now who are united clear across and all the way around this planet. We're not just Americans. There's hardly any Scientologist holds very heavily with supernationalism. After all, they've seen too much nationalism cause too many wars.

You hear the wife saying how the husband beats her every day. Look under her pillow for the brickbat that she uses because just sure as the devil, if she's saying that the yellow ball has hit the red ball, notice that the red ball had to hit the yellow ball first. Got it?

Scientology is not basically American. Too much work has been developed in England for it to remain exclusively American. Too much work, and too much activity has occurred elsewhere in the world for it to remain exclusively American. But nevertheless, it has an American impetus and a certain American coloration because this is where it was generated. You'll find the countries of Earth today are becoming Americanized to an enormous extent, in spite of the government. The only opposition, by the way, we had in Australia was the American Consul in Melbourne who was saying we weren't an American organization. He's since been removed.

Audience: Yes.

In spite of the government, Americanism goes abroad. Today, California had better look to its laurels. California had better watch out. California has been complacently sitting there getting a swivel-chair spread. California has been sitting there enjoying its smog and holding its suspenders out, you know, and saying, "Well, we're something on a stick." They better watch out, there's a country called South Africa, that's got them taped. Better climate, more Americanization.

Well, that's another one of these twenty things.

You'd be amazed today. Nineteen fifty-two, the commies were still fighting America very hard abroad. You'd go to a stage play or something like that, and you'd hear a lot of anti-American sentiments. Well, they resisted themselves into becoming Americanized. That's about all it amounts to. You don't hear these things now. Instead, why, you see the Buicks and the Fords. Ice cream sodas and iced Coca-cola. You see all the things that appertain to an American civilization. That's natural because we have a better civilization.

Now, to show you the physical universe, of course, would be too easy, but just remember that that's one of the things just as the body's one of the things. But we have certain scales, very definite, certain scales and certain cycles which we use in Dianetics and Scientology, and they are not figure-figure cycles of any kind whatsoever. They are not figure-figure cycles.

The world had an old civilization called the Roman civilization. It was the last, large export civilization. It was exported to the known world. Now we have a civilization that we are exporting to the known world. The English had for a while. And we actually have taken over their industrialized attitude and then we have reexported it, we've added new ruffles, and so forth. And we're exporting a civilization today.

The truths of the matter is – you know, any one of you could probably do this particular one better than I can – but I want to show you here, here is a no created thing. It's just a piece of paper. (Of course, it's gotten created.) But we are going to show you now a cycle of action in terms of create-survive-destroy.

That makes Scientology have lines to travel along, but it peculiarly enough hasn't any real nationalization color. It isn't colored by this nationalization. You'd be surprised how many accents I have heard Scientology vocabularies pronounced in. And you'd be amazed right now how many languages a model session has been translated into. And how many nationalities have their own ideas on the subject of which axiom is most important.

There is such a thing as the cycle of action. Its earliest genus of create-survive-destroy comes actually out of the fourth hymn of the Veda; about 10,000 years old. It describes it much more lengthily, and so on, and we use it today on the basis of the cycle of action. We call it the create-survive-destroy cycle. That is its crudest form, and actually is only an apparency, but is nevertheless a demonstrable thing.

We are the largest – and this is the first time I can say this with honesty – we are the largest mental health organization on Earth. We have the longest communication lines, the most practitioners, the most people under treatment on Earth. We are the world's largest mental health organization.

I want to show you how this works. Here we have nothing created. We just have a piece of paper. Now I am going to create something. As I say, any of you could do this better than I.

That's pretty hard to believe, particularly with some of you chaps that were – have been right with it from the beginning, but it's nevertheless entirely true. What makes it true, of course, is all other organizations are national. They are small, they are compact and they are enslaved and they don't grow.

The making of a boat or a hat, of course, has its complications. Some people prefer them larger and some people prefer them smaller, some more complicated and some less complicated. But here, so far, we have gone this far, and now we will go just a little further. (This is probably going to cause an upset with the management when I get through with it.)

You add up our communication lines in Scientology and I don't know many – how many times they would go round and round the moon. I haven't any idea, but they are long, our communication lines are.

Well, you see here, I am creating something rather laboriously. Are you with me? All right. I'm busy creating a boat. Having a large sailorish background, and noticing several in the audience who also have, we will make a freighter. There's a boat. Okay?

We get complaints about it too. America has no direct telex connection with South Africa. And HCO Washington has been batting its brains out while I've been down in South Africa. Has to go in through London. And there's more lines.

Audience: Yes.

We own a tremendous amount of property. We own a tremendous amount of material, and so forth. And it keeps growing. But that's not important. When buildings get important to us, for God's sake, some of you born revolutionists, will you please blow up central headquarters. If someone had put some HE under the Vatican long ago, Catholicism might still be going. Don't get interested in real estate. Don't get interested in the masses of buildings, because that's not important.

Now, we're demonstrating this thing called a cycle of action. And there is a boat created which is now surviving. There it's surviving. Look at it. It still sits there. It is continuing. After having been created, it continues. There it is. It's busy continuing, innocent as the driven snow.

What is important is how much service you can give the world and how much you can get done and how much better you can make things. These are important things. These are all that are important. A bank account never measured the worth of a man. His ability to help measured his worth and that's all. A bank account can assist one to help but where it ceases to do that it becomes useless.

But watch it. What's it doing? It's surviving. There it is. What's it doing?

When you're not well fed and you aren't enjoying your favorite breed of cat or something like this, why, maybe you're not in the frame of mind that gives the best possible service. So these things add into it too. You don't have to be a pauper in order to service things.

Audience: Surviving.

But it's true that we have considerable wealth around the world, but we are growing bigger. On our own initiative we are growing bigger. We are doing better. Our people are doing better. They are better looking. They know more. They are more effective people. All of these things add up. And now all of a sudden all of this is taking place without any change. You understand: this is taking place as a natural consequence of the general growth which began unevenly in 1950 and became rather smooth and gradual from 1956 on.

Oh, you're convinced now.

If we just left it at this, if we didn't do anything else at this level, and if we got no more results than we have gotten in the last few years, we would still make it in our lifetimes all the way around the world. Now, we've been aware of this for some time.

Audience: Yeah.

And look what I've gone and done. Look what I've done: in South Africa all of a sudden found a gimmick that turns a Central Organization on full blast; that puts thirty new people off the street a day into the reception room of the Central Organization. Add it up, thirty new people a day. Poor South Africa.

Well, all right, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, we have another step which I would like to show you. Because the cycle of action has three steps. Okay?

The organization down there had been running along like other Central Organizations. It'd been doing just fine in its own quiet way and had been solvent by working its Registrars to death, and so forth. Its technology was no better than it should have been. And then all of a sudden I throw the switch.

All right. I hope people have fire extinguishers here. We are now entering the phase of destroy. Correct?

Now, look, I gave you warning. I gave you warning actually a year ago that I was going to throw the switch. I said the second we had it solved, that every case that walked in was processed perfectly by others than myself, everybody got gains, we had technical wins all the way and we're clearing right along the line – I said as soon as I was absolutely certain of that I was going to throw the switch.

Well, at least I have enough inflammable chemicals to throw on it here. Okay? Cycle of action. Create-survive-destroy. Are you convinced that the third stage is destroy?

All right, sometime in October of 1960, I became aware of the fact that we had it taped. The 1st Saint Hill ACC was moving cases up the line wholesale that had never moved before in years of processing. There were some of those cases that had never moved under processing. And we moved them. We had it taped right there.

Audience: Yes.

And then I turned around and I went to that country on Earth which has been noted for its toughest cases: South Africa. And I went on an all-out research program, taking off from the data we had in the first Saint Hill, to fix it up so the HGC in South Africa would crack every case that came in, in the first few hours of processing. And I set it up, and in two-and-a-half months of research, obtained that goal, and it is now a fact!

That's pretty good. You learn fast.

So don't think – don't think you can upset me now with your case.

One of the things of the physical universe. One of its basic fundamentals.

The eleven-year phase of building a better Bridge is ended. It is ended totally and for sure. More auditors have to be trained in this. But HGCs which have good 8-C from their Director of Processing are uniformly breaking every case that walks in the front door, regardless of the condition it's in and regardless of how close to Freud's totally failed case it is. We are cracking them all.

Some of you out there realize that I am not in keeping with the fire regulations. Oh, well, if it burns up, it's all right. There's plenty of firemen in the place. Burning. There it goes. Now, what's the cycle of action.

It is now, at this time, when we are capable of delivering a totality of service, that I am willing that that switch be thrown. And you wonder what's held us back all these eleven years. I have. That's right. You ask old Dick some time if I didn't tell him several years ago, "Well, Dick, when we can make it roll all the way across the boards with not a single technical slip, I'll be willing to let it roll. Until that time I have a very light foot on the accelerator." Because I can promote. I think you know that.

Audience: Create-survive-destroy.

But look, it is not safe to let Registrars sell tremendous quantities of processing to people unless they are absolutely sure that they can get a result.

Do you think a green audience would understand that?

Now, sure, we've been getting results for years. We have been getting results, very worthwhile results. This is nothing to do – we're not kicking in the head the results you've been getting. But we also, here and there – and worse than here and there – we have been failing on certain cases. Let's admit it. After all, Freudian analysis never admitted it, and they failed on a 110 percent. They said there were certain cases they couldn't solve.

Audience: Yes. Sure.

Let's be just as honest and say there are certain cases that we haven't been moving, that's all. They've just been too rough, and that's been going on for the last eleven years. There have been cases here and there that walk in – we got them all on the first Saint Hill. I never… I don't know if I ever told Dick and Jan this, but at the last moment on the first Saint Hill, I wanted every rough case I could get in England, so I said it required no down payment and no further payments to get in. And, of course, that brought in all the rough-rough cases. Now I tell you! We had all the tough ones, and we moved them all. That was heroic.

And they think they understood something there about life, wouldn't they? Now, if each one in the audience was turned to another one, half of the audience was turned to the other half of the audience, and they had to find examples of the cycle of action in the other audience half – you know, plague them, "Give me an example of the cycle of action," see? "Give me another example of the cycle of action." Then they turn about: "Give me an example of the cycle of action." Actually, it'll move them on the time track. Do you realize that?

But it only takes a few failures to kill the impetus of any great forward drive. It only takes a few failures in an organization, or by an organization, or by its HGC, you see, to discourage it. Let's say it has a hundred wins and it has ten failures. Well, those ten failures still pile up.

Now, it moved, didn't it? There it is. There it is. Beautiful white sheet of paper, and we created a boat and the boat became a survival factor. And then the survival factor disappeared and we had the remainder of it, simple, huh?

You never saw anything as cocky right now as the Johannesburg HGC auditor. There are a tremendous number of auditors on that staff now, by the way. I've forgotten how many. I should have gotten some statistics of the last few weeks, how many pcs per week they're getting on there. I did it by the simple expedient of saying Mary Sue was going to run the HGC for a little while. And she did. And she did a terrific job as she always does. And she'd find mobs of pcs, you know – mobs of them! And it's up somewhere around thirty-four or thirty-nine pcs a week, something on this sort. You see, it's way up there.

It's rather fascinating, when you look the thing over, that you can demonstrate these things. Now you see why I had this set up as a laboratory setup. The physical sciences: We are looking at the physical sciences, and the practicalities of the physical sciences are right here.

And these auditors are getting insufferable. The HGC Assistant Admin came into my office the other day and said, "Well, Ron, when would you like some processing?" I never saw a man quite as cocky, you see. It was perfectly all right of him to offer me some processing but I took a look at him while he was doing this. A lot of auditors have offered me processing and I accept it. But I took a look at this boy and I thought, "My golly, there's what Freud would call a swollen id." They're insufferable.

Actually, there are twenty of these items. I'm not even going to try to give you a list of these things for the excellent reason that I haven't got my notes.

Poor pc comes in and says, "I have worked for years to gather up these tremendous problems which are totally unsolvable."

But I'll give you another example, another example, which is probably the hardest lecture to confront giving, but is actually the most responsive as far as an audience at large is concerned. And that is to demonstrate to people the existence of a body.

And the auditor says, "Yes, yes. Okay. Now, let's see."

I had the awfullest argument with Pete, D of T, Johannesburg, on this subject. He kept coming in and asking me what he was going to say when he got to the body. And I kept telling him, "Well…" He was trying to demonstrate these things in people. He didn't have this at first. He finally got this thing taped down pretty good, and on a body – but a body, he couldn't get the idea of what he was to do with a body. When a body came along and he was to do something with a body, what was he supposed to do with this body?

And the pc says, "And I have not been able to get along with my husband, and I'm a mystic, and I'll be able to sit here and worry you practically into your grave. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha."

"Well," I says, "you get him up on the stage, and you show people a body. You know, here's a body, and you point out various things about the body like, here's a hand, and so on. And then you have people in the audience find bodies. Half the audience gets the other half of the audience to find bodies. And this is what you do in bodies."

And the auditor says, "Well, that's good. Fine. Start!"

And he said, "That certainly doesn't sound like much."

And there goes the case. There it goes! First few hours, it's on its road, that's it. These boys are doing it. Now, some of these fellows are field auditors who have just been pulled back on staff, have been briefed by the Training Officer of the HGC, and who have been sicked on to the pc, not even knowing what the tools could do, but knowing better than to shift that far off. They have in South Africa, what they call a sjambok. It's a little whip, rhinoceros hide, you know And they don't use a sjambok in the HGC, that's too mild. An auditor departs from routine, why, he's practically had it. They just hold these fellows right on routine, and all of a sudden the fellow gets this terrific certainty, see. Zoom! Here he goes! Well, we haven't worked with other Central Organizations, but they've been using these processes and they've been doing very, very well. But here's an example of a high concentration of it.

Now, the oddity about all of this is the simplest things are the most demonstrable things are the most neglected things in life. It is because everybody got so fantastically complicated that they missed this continuously, on and on and on. The whole science of the mind as it sat there was missed because it was all figure-figure and it was all supercomplicated and it was all over everybody's heads. And one of the things that they tell you today at the university, they tell you, "Of course, nobody can really understand anything about it, and it's much too complicated for you to find out anything about."

Now, it's safe to open that front door. Take them all, take them all. Because there are going to be no loses along the line. And if there are no loses along the line, what's that going to add up to? Look how much power we've won already on the fact that we could still have some loses.

Well, that's the first lie. Is there anything complicated in this demonstration of the cycle of action? Well, it's all that simple. And that's why everybody missed it. And that's why, if you ever give this course yourself, you're going to occasionally miss the boat because you're going to get too significant.

It isn't clearing cases that has held us up. It's starting cases that has held us up. Getting cases started. If we get them started, we can clear them. Getting them started into stable gains, that's been our problem. And we can sweep them all up these days.

Poor Pete. He had this vast mob of people, all of them green and so forth, and they came into the hall, and so he says, "Well, you know. I'm a martyr. I'll do what Ron said. It'll probably be all right because he said it, but there's no telling what can happen."

And I've turned on a new program down there that's bringing in thirty new people walking off the pavement a day into Scientology And that's an awful lot of people.

So he got a fellow up on the stage. And the fellow – he pointed out, he says, all of a sudden, he said – the fellow's hand – he says, "Well," he says, "do you see that skin?" (It's a body demonstration.) He said, "Do you see that skin? There's meat under it."

No, we've got dissemination solved. We have the administration end of it solved. We have, eleven years, have been digging our forward trenches and sinking in the concrete and getting ourselves ready to launch an assault. And even before we launch it, we find ourselves the largest mental health organization on Earth. I know, I've looked at the figures, and we are, right this minute. And we are a free organization, owing no allegiance to any government or financial or politically interested group. We're a totally free group.

A fellow says, "By golly, there is, isn't there, you know." And the fellow says, "Aw, gee." He says, "I won't dare but be able to look at a girl walking down a street without realizing I'm looking at some meat."

Where do we go from here? If we've gone this far with occasionally broken weapons, with our own cases falling in, with various other things happening, without organizational know-how – if we've gone this far in this condition, how far are we going to go now? Well, I can tell you frankly, we're going to go all the way.

And Pete made this person – body – walk up and down a little bit and said, "You see how the hands move and the legs moves, and so forth. And it's a body, and it has a head and it has hips and legs and arms and hands and its head and it moves this way and it is a body. All right. Thank you very much."

So here you are.

And, well, I think he brought another body up, a female body, and showed that it had similar things, but was different. And then he had half of his audience finding bodies in the other half of the audience. And in the first two minutes of play he had about half of these people pooom! out of their heads, which, of course, happens every time you ask some greenhorn to look and find some bodies. He's not used to it, and he'll – they saw the insides of their heads, you know, and they saw the backs of their heads and bodies and they found out they were different than bodies and there it was. He had also demonstrated the human spirit which, by the way, is not one of the things listed.

Some Scientologists don't like this. They don't like it because the old, exclusive club-tie atmosphere doesn't become the total atmosphere.

Well, this is the brand-new course; will be an evening course of about twenty different evenings at about two evenings a week.

You also have this other atmosphere of the public storming up and saying, "I want some – what do you call it – processing. Um, when did Freud invent Scientology?" And some Scientologists, by the way, they look at this and they quail, because it's the raw public, you know, in droves, coming around for service; demanding it.

Anybody could give one of the things. All you've got to do is look up and find the subject matter of Dianetics and Scientology and show people that they are things and that they exist, and that you are dealing with a practical science. You're not dealing with an esoteric – esoteric, philosophical treatise on thin air. You're dealing with the things of life.

The old school tie, however, still obtains. I'll never forget the guys that have been with it for eleven years, because this is our show, isn't it? And I'm real happy to be able to announce to you that I decided to turn the switch, that we've got it licked technically, and we're over the hump, and we're away.

Once a person has seen an engram and seen that the thing bites and answers up a lot of his difficulties in existence, once he's seen a secondary or a lock, something like this, he's seen these various things, he knows he's looking at the parts of the human mind and he recognizes, completely aside – because in no part of this course do you tell anybody even that you can handle these things or that you can get any results from them or that you do handle them, except maybe to say, "Well, if you ever want to become a professional auditor, why you'd learn how to handle these various things which we're demonstrating to you." And you'd let it go at that.

You can sit there complacently and be very comfortable and not have to believe it for the moment. It doesn't have to be real to you. I won't insist. But it's like the German soldier that was standing in a trench, and a Gurkha who had long knives during World War I came over and he swished at the German soldier's head and the German soldier said, "You missed me." And the Gurkha said, "Shake your head, Fritzie."

But you just show them the parts. And you say, "These are the parts of life."

I'm afraid the reality of this will all too soon be upon us. You're just about to inherit this planet, whether you like it or not. I can only hope that you're in good enough shape to like it.

Of course, these people will go out and they'll run into some old-time 19th-century psychologist and they will say to him, and they'll say to him, "Well, I'm up in your field now. I'm studying all about the anatomy of the human mind."

Thank you.

And the psychologist will say, "Where?"

And he'll say, "Oh, down there at the Scientology Organization. I'm studying there down at the center; studying about it. Ha-ha. It's pretty good, you know. Pretty good."

"Well, did they teach you anything about the brain?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We learned all about the brain."

"Well, did you learn about the human nervous system?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We learned all about the human nervous system."

"Oh, well, don't you realize that it takes six years to learn all the parts of the mind?" the psychologist will say. "It takes six years and then you don't know anything, you know."

And your student will say, "Well, it's what the Instructor told us. Told us that it – you have to study quite a bit to learn more about it."

"Oh, you're taking some lay course. Oh, how nice. Well, I guess that's all right."

Like a psychoanalyst that came down through the test section. Psychoanalyst brought in his patient to get tested and evaluated. And we tested his patient and evaluated the patient. And the psychoanalyst sat there, and he says, "Well, it's taken me about 2Y2 years to figure all those things out about that fellow. And you figured them all out in about a half an hour. That's right. That's right. That's what's wrong with him. I agree with what you have said is wrong with him. Yeah. I agree with that. Is it all right if I go in and get tested?"

Well, similarly, the psychologist could come down and attend this course and go away thinking well, maybe there was some more for him to learn about the human mind, thinking the course was all right.

It isn't something that'd necessarily rub him the wrong way, but it'd sure expand his horizon off the figure-figure, and by getting psychologists to teach that course, you of course will do such a thing as probably take the whole field of psychology.

But it's an interesting course, don't you think? It's a new look at things, isn't it? If this was a four-day congress, I'd lay the whole thing out for you.

As it is, the only thing I can do for you is to give the listings and the bulletins and give you a publication on the thing and wish you luck.

Male voice: Thanks.

Oh, I don't really think you'll need much luck. You don't need all this paraphernalia to go on with. But the human mind, of course, is a sort of a bag of tricks. It's the bag of tricks that a thetan has developed to keep himself from getting bored to death in this universe, and has then considered too complicated to understand and has gotten himself into serious trouble with.

One of the first things you'll find the public will listen to is an exact list of the parts of a human mind as I've more or less demonstrated them to you here, except there are twenty different parts. Did you like that?

Audience: Yes. Very much.

All right.

Thank you.
