OK. And this is the afternoon lecture of January the nineteenth.

Okay. We have now a little example on exteriorization. I want to give you first the I routine for exteriorization and I do mean the routine.

And then, I wanted to tell you about this chap, this very interesting case, who said, "Auditing would be all right if it weren't for people and thetans." [audience laughter]

You ask a preclear to “Be three feet back of your head” and when he is with some I certainty or without even much certainty, you ask him for three places he is not. You never ask him where he is. Until he is absolutely certain of his location and volunteers.

Well, that's very interesting that people really don't have to worry about people, but people don't know this so people worry about people. Quite remarkable that the individual is his own communication index in terms of hate and resentment and fear and so forth.

I the fact, you never send him to various portions of anywhere. You just start asking him к for “places he’s not.” “Be three feet back of your head.” “Give me some places you’re not.” Then you can run off, actually, the rest of Step la of 8-C if you want to. It is designed for that.

How well do you think a ridge flows? It doesn't flow very good. It'll flow to another ridge, then you've got a terminal in operation. You see that? So we get in interpersonal relations practically no danger in anybody below 3, the truth be told, unless you pay attention to them and agree that they're very dangerous. And if you start fighting this kind of danger, which is what they want you to do, you wind up with a tendency toward their level of the tone scale.

Now, if you ask him where he is, you’ll actually upset him. If you ask him to go to specific places and he doesn’t know where he is already, you’ll upset him further. If you start sending him places immediately when he’s completely uncertain and shaky about the thing, you’ll turn on an automaticity-it may send him places.

Now, the mission of duplication is to duplicate and make everybody else duplicate and duplicate, duplicate, duplicate, let's all go nuts. To duplicate or not to duplicate, that is the hang up on the time track.

In other words, what you want to do is to run the lightest that you can run after a person is exteriorized.

Or we get a ridge flowing to a ridge and we've got a little bit of current, but what do you know, the current is going between those two ridges. And in terms of electronics, you even need a wire to get it away from those two ridges and you need a wire to get it between those two, really, if they're very far apart. So we find hate not going very far. We talk about this horrible poison called hate and how you don't want anybody to hate you. Go ahead and let them hate. You'll just hang them up on a ridge and a ridge can't communicate, unless you mock yourself up as a ridge and they can communicate to that. Throughout the history of Man, the fighting of low-tonedness has inevitably, invariably wound up with low-tonedness.

All right. We’ll give you an example of this.

Now, there's a couple of ants out here, live on McDowell Street and these ants live just by the curb and they hate every automobile that goes by. Boy, they hate 'em! And you know, there hasn't been a single flat tire because of that. That's because motorists, it doesn't occur to any motorist to fight the hate of ants, it just doesn't occur to them.

LRH: [to pc] George, be three feet back of your head.

Of course now, if you went down and told every motorist, just before he went by the place, that there were two ants up the line there and they hated him, you'd probably get a line charge. This is why you can't get an operating thetan to take anything serious that is an international problem. He can't believe that the hate of ants is going to ruin him. And, honest, that sounds awfully superior and snobbish and all that sort of thing. It would be if it were in any of those categories. But you see, it's not in any of those categories, 'cause it just isn't an assigned problem. They can't get into the frame of reference that it's a desperate thing that they ought to do something about. They'll do something because it's dramatic, not because it's necessary.

Now give me three universes you’re not buttered all over.

The number of necessities which come about in man are few. As long as he's here on Earth, remotely doing some kind of a job, floundering around, he'll get there one way or the other. Mostly he'll go on down and around, and wars will come and wars will go.

PC: I’m not buttered all over my universe.

The only thing that's really objectionable about man - that he's bored. There's not much drama connected with man. Nearly all of his drama is in his story books, or on the television screen. There's not much drama there.

LRH: Okay, give me another one that you’re not buttered all over.

Now, what's the real trouble with a war is hurrying up to wait. That's the only real trouble with a war.

PC: My Home Universe.

And when we talk about counter-emotion, it's a very, very happy thing that the counter-emotions which are the most dangerous are of the type that can't emanate. Because by definition there is less emanation in them. Let's take fear.

LRH: Okay. One more.

Now, if you get everybody more or less at a tone level which approaches fear, and they're being suppressed this way and that way, and they have to be afraid of an awful lot of things. They have to go on resisting an awful lot of things, they go floundering around with a lot of things. Well, what do we have there?

PC: [sighs] Your universe.

We have a mass agreement which is ready to trigger into a tone level which it is very near. And so we get mass hysteria, and stories of mass hysteria or mass fear, in such places as the cotton mills of the south. A girl is frightened by a mouse or something, lets out a piercing scream, and all the girls from the factory promptly start screaming. Now here you have this manifestation of mass hysteria.

LRH: Okay. Be three feet back of your head and find a nothingness somewhere, [pause] Got it?

You find this recounted and very, very badly reported in tremendous numbers of psychological textbooks. Mass hysteria. It must be important one way or the other, or it wouldn't be duplicated so often, according to MEST universe logic. Well, if it is that important, why, we ought to know something about it.

PC: No.

If we have a number of individuals on the verge of something, then it is easy to trigger them into the something, isn't it? But if they're a long distance from the something, they don't trigger into it. Now, it's very hard to fall in a well when you're five miles from the well. That's communication distance. But in tone, it would be very hard to fall into fear if you were in serenity. Same kind of drop. Five miles away, only it isn't in distance. It's a difference of state of mind. But it's very easy to fall into anger if you're in resentment. It's very easy to fall into fear if you're in anger.

LRH: Can’t find a nothingness?

Its quite remarkable that the great dictators - I don't know, I can't think of any of them at the moment that were great; but anyway, qthese boys go out in a tone of 1.5, and they go, "wwrrraa, wwrrraa, wwrrraa, wwrrraa, be mad at everybody, be mad at everybody, be mad at everybody", and they'll go along in that tone and all of a sudden they'll trigger into fear. They go to 1.0. It's so easy. Because the moment they really start emanating, they're dispersing. So their next drop down is to a dispersal. And we get them being very erratic. We get them going out of their way to find things to be afraid of. It's quite amazing that Hitler was so afraid of spirits. He was all messed up with the seventh dynamic. And he would go into spasms of terror which approximated the magnitude of his anger.

PC: No.

It was inevitable, just on the basis of electronics, that anybody who is in that much of a ridge, when he disperses that much, will of course go to the next lower dispersal.

LRH: Can you get a nothingness of your body?

The mechanical aspect of this - a fellow's riding a ridge, he starts to communicate. He can communicate just so long, and he finds himself, of course, in terror. You should understand this, because you'll see preclears doing it on the way up, and occasionally, when you drop them in tone, on the way down. They hit a ridge, then they hit a dispersal, then they hit a ridge, then they hit a dispersal, and so forth.

PC: Kind of the idea of it.

Well, every time you hit a ridge you get somebody solid and not communicating. So you mark hitting these ridges by hitting the comm lag. And the ordinary course up the tone scale of a preclear is not by jumps, it's just marching right on up the tone scale. When he's not on going up the tone scale, you're not doing a good job of auditing. You're just not paying attention to certainty and fundamentals, as we covered this morning. It's almost impossible to keep him from going up the tone scale on the material that you have. Real hard to do. You have to be awful careful the way you use the stuff. Because if you use it in any vague sort of a routine job on the thing, the fellow will eventually go up the tone scale. If you pay attention to certainty, he'll go up the tone scale.

LRH: Well, can you get an idea of it?

All right, what do we do then about these communication changes? What's this communication change all about? Well, outflow, outflow, inflow, inflow, and of course you get this sort of a, sort of a problem. At each point of this scale, one way or the other, flows are imbalanced. And ridges are of different density.

PC: Yes.

Now, you're not trying to run out a flock of flows or a bunch of ridges. You're trying to get the individual up to a security where this particular type of ridge does not trouble him. Therefore, straight wire is a better technique than any plow horse technique.

LRH: All right. Is that nothingness giving you orders?

Because all you're trying to do with a thetan is change his mind, wherever you will see him. Wherever you find him, outside or inside, all you're trying to do is change his mind. Interiorized, he's got himself connected with the body to a point where he tries to change the body's mind as well as his own mind at the same time. This sympathy with the "body's mind" and his own mind results in the fact that he thinks he has to change the body's mind before he can change his own mind.

PC: No.

Well, this is very difficult to do in view of the fact that the command post center that the body uses from the motor control isn't a mind. So it's quite hard to change the mind of something that doesn't have a mind.

LRH: No. You certain of that?

But the thetan has put a very complex mind sitting there in the body. He's got this all rigged up, and there are beautiful circuits and machines and so forth, so when you're trying to audit somebody who's inside the body, you spend most of your time auditing him so he will audit the thing which he has set up which represents the body's mind which he is also in sympathy with. So we get this very circuitous type of auditing.

PC: Yes.

You're auditing somebody who is auditing something. You're not auditing a preclear, you see? You're auditing an auditor of a preclear. Well, a preclear is normally a flock of circuits or something. He'll sit there and audit demon circuits like mad, and all that sort of thing. Well how do you get away from this? Well nobody ever audited out a demon circuit and went anyplace but down in tone. It reduced his havingness, in other words. Well, the more effort and seriousness there is about his handling this problem, of course the harder it is for him to handle the problem, because you've suppressed him toward the effort band.

LRH: Let’s get another nothingness that isn’t giving you orders.

Now, when you set in to do a tremendously serious job of auditing, and it has a great deal of concern in it, your preclear is trying to duplicate you to some degree, and he goes on being very, very concerned. You see that? Whereas, you could boost him up to a point where he'd be less concerned. Well, if a preclear has a serious problem you can just bet your boots that it's got some heavy flows connected with it.

PC: [sighs] Nothing is-just make a thought.''

Well, a way for you to handle this is to put him into a condition where he can handle flows, ridges, and energy and so forth, and the spaces that are interwoven with them. So it's of the essence, because these things have spaces too, it's of the essence that your preclear be able to handle space, energy, time. Those three things. If he can't handle those three things, why, he won't be able to handle the reactive bank, because it's composed of nothing else.

LRH: Okay. Now give me three places you’re not.

The only trouble with a reactive bank is that its' particles are mocked up particles, which approximate mest universe particles which aren't there anymore. So it is essentially a lie.

PC: Not in that corner of the room, that corner and that corner.

The reason auditing out an engram brings relief when it brings relief; there are two reasons, one, it demonstrates to the preclear that he could re-experience the same experience and probably live through it. The second one is, it explodes the lie. These are not the particles which were present during the incident.

LRH: Good. Be three feet back of your head.

He discovers that he is not handling the particles that he was handling during the incident. He is not in an operating theater with a scalpel sticking in his stomach. He finds out that that scalpel that he can plainly see that is sticking in his stomach can also be looked through, and it will vanish with great speed. So the scalpel isn't still there. He was living a lie.

PC: Okay.

Nothing wrong with lying, except when it's the truth. And the G.E. runs backwards. And everything is so true that the more lies he gets in place the truer it gets, and then you tell somebody to "face reality". And he faces a flock of data based on what the G.E. is doing.

LRH: And give me three more places you’re not. [pause] Now get real certain about this.

The more a person agrees with the past, of course; theoretically, the more he thinks the past is there and necessary and he has to agree with it at all times, the more enforced agreements you're liable to have on the case. And you get this problem of psychotherapy always processing the past.

PC: Notin El Cerrito.

Now, the only reason I'm trying to talk to you about this at all, is trying to get you out of the idea of thinking the past is important. It is more important to teach your preclear to tell good, big, believable, unbelievable, bald faced lies, than it is to teach him how to tell the inescapable truth of what everybody knows happened.

LRH: Mm-hm.

Now that sounds like it's immoral or unethical. No. It is very, very immoral and unethical to make a man agree with the actual incident which has taken place. Very immoral. Because it'll kill him. And that's the only reason he dies. He dies out of these things called "truth of actual occurrence". These are data truths. Actual occurrences. These are agreed upon truths. And these aren't truths at all.

PC: Not in my room in Phoenix.

A number of people could get out front and agree perfectly that this was not a house here, but it was a black cat. And the next guy that comes up they could say to him, "Now, look at that black cat." And the fellow looks at them, and he says, "What's the matter with you people? That's a house. That isn't a black cat." And they'd say, "Yes it is a black cat". Pow! And after they'd beaten him up enough and given him enough energy and impacts and certainties in various categories, and arguments, in other words, he too will tell you it's a black cat. Furthermore, he'll be able to feel the fur on that cat and hear it purr.

LRH: Mm-hm.

Now, I don't recommend that you should make this experiment daily. But it's how you got that way. "Well, you see that over there? That's a mouse." "No it isn't a mouse, a mouse is only an inch high. I know what a mouse is. Where we come from the thing we call a mouse is only an inch high. That's what a mouse is." "Oh no, that isn't what a mouse is. That mile high thing over there is a mouse." "No it's not a mouse. It isn't even an animal, it isn't even like the mouse. Well now look, I have my own right to my..." Pow! It's a mouse! "Well, I guess around here they believe that mice are a mile high. I guess we better just talk about a mouse that's a mile high. Well, I have to agree with it in order to live with them. Every time I say mouse I mean something an inch high and every time they say mouse it means a mile high. I'll kind of remember that mice are one inch high."

PC: I'm not in close to Phoenix.

A few years later he doesn't remember that mice are an inch high and he goes back home again. Somebody runs out of the house and says, "There's a mouse in the house." He says, "That's impossible!" "No it's not impossible, there is a mouse in the house." "Well look, that house is only fifty feet high. It can't possibly be, because a mouse is a mile high." "Oh, you think a mouse is a mile high, huh?" Pow! So he gets convinced the other way.

LRH: Good. Give me three more places.

Now he only gets convinced to the degree that he can be mobbed up on or manhandled. Now, we're not talking now about any legal trickery or anything of the sort, we're just talking about being manhandled. Hit with energy, having his space condensed, having things pulled away from him, being mauled, mobbed, kicked around, booed at, and so forth. That's all we're talking about. I mean violence. It takes violence to really make these things stick. So god help the individual the first moment he ceased to be dangerous to the environment, and the first moment the environment started really being dangerous to him.

PC: I'm not in the front office here.

These are two (quote) "frames of mind." (unquote) Am I dangerous to my environment, or is my environment dangerous to me? If you are dangerous to the environment then your engram bank is in danger from you without you thinking anymore about it. But if your environment is simply dangerous to you, then your engram bank, being part of your environment, is dangerous to you, too.

LRH: Mm-hm.

Now, we say engram bank we have a misnomer. So let's shift it over and call it a reactive mind. And let's find out that that's made up of automatic machinery and it wasn't lying there in neat quiet piles of pictures.

PC: Not in the house next door to the left.

Get a different sort of a thing. Let's get an, get an idea of it being boiler rooms and machinery and perpetually producing stuff and with tax collectors that take your energy away from you and make it, to make itself run. That should be more what a reactive mind looks like.

LRH: Mm-hm.

As far as the analytical mind is concerned, that's slightly a misnomer, because it isn't analytical. It knows. And you don't know because you are analytical. But by analytical we departed a little bit in words, and we meant conscious. You know, more conscious. Well this is the self determined mind of the individual, versus the stimulus response determined mind of the individual. What are these two minds? One is the guy and the other is the machinery.

PC: Next door to the right.

Well now, let's take up the winning valence. Every once in a while you process a preclear and he all of a sudden has, has a stuck visio of a bathroom, or a stuck visio of a bedroom. You haven't any idea why he's got this stuck visio of the bedroom. You inquire into it on the standpoint of valences, however, and make him look around a little bit, he's liable to find his body there. He isn't in his body. He's looking at the room from the standpoint of the bedpost. Why is he looking at it from the standpoint of the bedpost? Because the bedpost just won. He barked his shin against it and it hurt him hike hell and he couldn't punish it, so it won. For an instant he was the bedpost. Very shockingly true.

LRH: Okay. Now where aren’t you thinking right now?

But an individual has a tendency to shift into the identities of those things that win. And this is his effort to become dangerous to his environment. He becomes dangerous to his environment to the degree that, he believes, he takes on identities of things which are dangerous to their environment.

PC: Not thinking on top of the Empire State Building.

We get the subject of butterflies again. And we'll have the most ferocious looking patterns on the wings of butterflies. And these patterns all demonstrate to the world that the butterfly would be awfully hard to attack. The butterfly is operating on a winning valence proposition. Nothing dangerous about this butterfly at all, but he takes on a pattern of some dangerous thing. See that? That's, that's simply winning valence. Well, there's hardly a preclear alive who, as he came down the track, didn't skid into one of these automatic machines and be it, leaving himself go to hell. Because his automatic machinery, one after the other, are apt to become winning valences. And so it is that many a preclear who goes into auditing gets pushed over into the automatic doctoring machine. See that? Automatic doctoring. The automatic healing machine, or the automatic memory machine.

LRH: Okay.

Each one of these things has beingness, and so he can be them. They have beingness. He granted them beingness. You can make any number of individuals if you want to. You can make as many chess players as you want to make chess boards. No finite number and so you can make a tremendous amount of machinery that itself has identity. And then if you lose your own identity one way or the other you can always be a machine.

PC: Top of the Westward Ho.

Memory. Let's take memory. Memory is that thing which is supposed to give back former incidents to you. In other words it's an automatic pound-in mechanism. Well, that's all right as a mechanism. "This is supposed to give me back incidents when I think of them. This is supposed to give me the incidents which have happened, and so that they will then reoccur to me so that I can have the incidents which I have lost in the past." This is one way of beating the past, is memory. So one sets up a machine to do this. And then what do you know, he's in a universe that pounds him from three hundred and sixty degrees. So this inflow is aided and abetted by MEST universe inflow. So here he is being pounded from all sides by inflow and he's also got a machine which inflows the past at him.

LRH: Good.

An auditor quite often becomes an automatic memory machine. His own identity is pretty shaky and so he just decides to be an automatic memory machine for the preclear. How's this machine operate? Well, some of these machines are quite complex. They present pictures to the thetan. The thetan won't remember something and then the automatic memory machine presents him with a picture. This is only one method of an automatic memory machine. They also present him with a thought, so you get associative logic. I don't know what's so logical about it, but it's sure associative.

PC: And underneath this building.

Now, you get individuals who don't want to be reminded of things. They don't like things because they remind them of other things. Don't want to be reminded. Don't want to be reminded. So they've got an automatic memory machine that is set up to do just this; remind them. It's set up on the basis when the fellow is cocky and feeling brassy if you set it up, "It will remind me of everything I think of and what happened in the past so I will know about it in the future." So an auditor can become an automatic memory machine. I see at this moment that a lot of auditors immediately have assigned this and diagnose themselves as having lost their own identity and have become these automatic memory machines. Well, you're also the automatic memory machine, that doesn't mean you've lost your own identity.

LRH: Good. Give me three auditors who are not auditing you at this moment.

When an individual skids down the track he obliterates his old identities because he believes that they were not dangerous to the environment, and he assumes new identities which he believes are more dangerous to the environment. The odd part of it is that no identity was ever dangerous to the environment. The only thing that is really dangerous to the environment is nothing.

PC: Pam, Ross, Lee.

You take a nothingness that can put out energy beams - that's about the most dangerous thing you could run into in the environment, as far as that's concerned. So, he is perfectly willing to assume, if you process him for a while and get over the ideas of how horrible it is to be nothing, he'll all of a sudden realize that being nothing isn't so bad at all. 'Cause it's quite dangerous to the environment.

LRH: Okay. Give me three more that aren’t auditing you at this moment.

Alright, what's the goal in auditing any automatic machinery? Well it's to rehabilitate the fullest possible individuality and beingness of the preclear. His own. Where you gotta go for it? It's liable to be geographically placed. He lost his identity in 1832 in Hoboken. He just wasn't proud anymore. And then he became a doctor. Well, why did he get unproud? Well, some doctor fixed him up, really fixed him up. He was having an affair with the doctor's wife and the doctor operated on him, or something. Something weird like this will happen. Well, after that he became a doctor, a winning valence. But the guy could become a doctor really, only if he had an automatic machine which would lay in the basic foundation for being a doctor. Then having been a doctor he finds out that he hates doctors, so he doesn't like himself, so he looks around for something else to lick him, so he can be it.

PC: John, Tom, Esta.

You might say it's a perpetual search to be beaten. On some low toned cases, they say that. Well, when they get well down, when they start getting very thoroughly below 3, thoroughly below it, why they go around looking for things to beat them up. They start to lose. Why do they want to lose? So they can win, of course. Method of survival. That's another method of survival, being something which has a survival potential. If something wins, it of course survives better.

LRH: Good. Give me three more that aren’t auditing you at this moment.

So we get the contest with the environment. And we get the break point of the preclear at 2, where the environment becomes rather thoroughly dangerous to him and he is no longer dangerous to the environment. And above that why he's a little bit dangerous to the environment and the environment's pretty dangerous to him, and you go on up to a point of where he isn't, where the environment isn't even vaguely dangerous to him, he's only dangerous to it, and then we get up into a reasonable level where we find the preclear not being interested in whether the environment's dangerous or not. It's merely amusing. And the environment is as dangerous as there is low tone in it to which a person can get into the winning valence of.

PC: Jeannette, Carroll...

[Gap]

LRH: One more.

I'm continuing this afternoons lecture.

PC: Burke.

An individual that, who is in a shaky frame of mind about his own winningness will only then find danger in the hate, the fear, the mass hysterias of his environment with people. Because the truth of the matter is, is people below 2 communicate so badly, so badly that a person has to go out of his way to get a communication to and from them, and actually has to be them to communicate with them, to some degree. You see that? And an individual will get along as badly with them as he has to fight them. You know, resist. And in he goes. Bang. Favorite trick of the universe. But this only occurs in the lower tone band.

LRH: Okay. Now give me three preclears you are not auditing at this moment.

It is of course quite dangerous for society where everybody is walking around trying to find a winninger environment, and trying to find a winninger valence to be into, and therefore trying to get beaten by it. It's quite dangerous for, for very low tone people to be loose. But who is it dangerous to? It's dangerous to low toned people. That's who it's dangerous to.

PC: Lee, Bob, Tom.

Now, it isn't true that a thetan just automatically will snap inside of anybody that he swats. You had a good time swatting bodies for a long time before you got to enough overt acts, enough overt/motivator sequences, enough collapsed terminals, to where you slid into one. And you probably had already forgotten that you'd ever had anything to do with bodies, when one day you slapped one and in you went, so it appears very mysterious to you. You never considered it important before, then you couldn't get out of one.

LRH: Okay. Give me three auditors you are not being audited by at this moment.

The body being something, and being very convincing - its convincing, not true - the body. There's a big difference, you know, between proof and convincing and truth. Convincingness will make anything true. Proof will make anything true.

PC: John, Edna, Jim.

There's no more dangerous maniac than a scientist with a test tube. That bird can prove anything is true. And down through the ages past they have, repeatedly. But the earliest crews that were proving something true to somebody else, of course was just thetans. They were doing such things as playing a game. "Now go into that hole there and find something, there's a something in the hole." Of course there's nothing in the hole, but, "Go into that hole and find something there." "All right, I will." So he'd go into the hole, and the fellow says, he mocks up a clock or something and he throws that out and he says, "Well, was this it?" And they say, "No, that wasn't it." And so on and so on and so on. Of course the fact of the matter was, the hole was empty, but it's just one of these little mild games.

LRH: Good. Three more auditors you’re not being audited by at this moment.

Well, a fellow could get sold on the game and if he got himself into a situation where he's trying to protect something he was trying to prove. You have to see how locked up this has to get to get loused up. Yes, he has to protect something he's trying to prove, then he gets very convincing about it and he'll skid. And that's the only way he'll really skid. Because, below 2, people aren't dangerous.

PC: Maida, Dick and Janet.

They, the people who get furiously angry at no provocation are not dangerous to a thetan. They can be dangerous to a body, because they're liable to start shooting, or something. But they're not dangerous to a thetan. They're not even dangerous to a thetan in a body beyond giving him some losingness. Now, they can storm and rant all they please, but the truth of the matter is there's darn little emanation. That's a ridge talking, and if it talks long enough it'll go into fear. Now the emanation, the words, MEST words flying around are about the only counter emotion there is in the low tones. A person has to approximate fear in order to feel fear.

LRH: Good. Now give me three auditors who aren’t auditing me at this moment.

Only the higher parts of the band emanate easily. They're the only ones that have any power, because they're the only ones where the individual can flow or not flow as the case may be. Those things which are stimulus response mechanisms, which flow and don't flow, are of course not even vaguely dangerous. All right, let's take somebody. Let's, let's take, let's take one of you.

PC: Me, Jeannette...

You set up a clinic. And you've been treating a bunch of school kids, or something of the sort, and you've been running a group. Now all of a sudden somebody comes in with hectoronomy or something, and they move in across the street. Well now you could conceive there was vast danger in these people across the street, because the first thing they do is demonstrate how much they hate you. They're using or trying to use materials which you yourself are using. And they're calling it something else and they're calling people up, and they're saying how you don't know your business, and how you just ruin everybody. And they go on and they're doing, according to what you hear, an awful lot of talking. Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap. Unfortunately for them, your business will decline and your traffic in your clinic will decline, only to the ratio that you conceive their existence to be dangerous, and permit them to communicate, because they can only use your comm lines, they haven't got one. They're not dangerous. You can err, you can err only to the degree of permitting them to communicate. I speak from experience on that.

LRH: Mm-hm.

The only way you permit them to communicate, or stop their communication one way or the other, is simply you've got to hang up a communication line for them to communicate on. You don't even hang up the subject or the symbol or anything like that. That isn't even good enough. You actually have to get in there and practically mail their letters for 'em. Now, they will set up shop and fail. They will, see there's no doubt about it. Might take them a long time to fail.

PC: ...and Ross.

Preclears, or two of yours who are pretty low toned, might fall into the rat trap and that might swamp them one way or the other, and of course if you get mad enough about it and tell enough other preclears about it, and make communication for this outfit, why it can hurt you. But if you set yourself up to protect every single person in the entire community, you'll set yourself up to change the life of every person in that community.

LRH: Good. Three more that aren’t auditing me.

Therefore you set yourself up to control every person in the community and monitor his actions, and therefore you set yourself up to protect each individual person in the community. Well that's, that's a real hard job. You know, you could own a whole community without protecting a single part of it. But that's a different level of ownership than most people can understand.

PC: Jim, Joe, Marilyn.

For instance, I talked to a couple of officers on a bridge one day about the Tribleovs. We were cruising in along the Tribleovs and I said, "Well, I've got some islands over that way, over there". And they said, "You've got some islands over that way?". And I said, "Sure". They said, "Why gee whiz, nobody owns them." And I said, "Oh you're wrong. I do." And we were talking this way and that about the Tribleovs, and they became more and more and more upset. This was not occasion for a joke, you see, this started out as a joke and they became more and more upset. Well, their level of ownership was so tenuous that they secretly owned the Tribleovs. And I overtly owned them. And they of course became very concerned. It was not a joke.

LRH: Good. Three more that aren’t auditing me.

And if you start to talk much about the ownership of things and stuff around in the community and so forth and you'll find people don't like for you to talk that way. Because by, they couldn't own it themselves, but by you overtly owning it you disenfranchise their coversion. Well similarly, if you start talking about owning a whole community, why people get upset with you. Or if you own a monopoly on anything, or say you do, people get very upset with you. But the people who get upset with you are the people who are having trouble with ownership, who are the people who will fail. And the reason they will fail is because they don't communicate well, because they're usually ridges or low dispersals. A dispersal doesn't communicate, it's something communicating for the individual. A fear dispersal for instance communicates, automatically, fear.

PC: Jonathan, Lulu, Jeannette.

Well all right let's move over into something a little more practical, and we find out however, that an individual can be suppressed into being one of his own automaticities. And this is the more peculiar case. Here is the case with five personalities. You can locate geographically where the individual is located by the way, in relationship to his body. You needn't be too concerned about this. This isn't important material I'm giving you, it's just brick-a-brac. But don't get puzzled over it. If I had never mentioned this why, you might have run into it and said, "My god, my god what has happened here? This fellow is obsessed by a lot of demons." Yeah he's got at least seven, eight, nine, ten demons that we can count and so forth. There was another fellow back on the time track who was fooled by this manifestation. We won't mention any names, we don't want to be sacrilegious. But the demons which are attacking the individual are almost uniformly his own automaticities. Because if he only knew it, or would admit it, he has enough beef, strength, power, that he's practically puncture proof.

LRH: Mm-hm. Three more.

A body is quite explosive. The chances of this individual having his body taken away from him are quite slight. A body which is very low toned can be monitored very, very easily by a theta clear. It can be monitored with great ease by an operating thetan. But boy, that body'd have to be in lousy shape, otherwise there's going to be electrical circuits and so forth, that'll short.

PC: Ed, Brad and Alan.

It's a very hard thing for an individual who is pretty well up the line to manage a body in the first place, without blowing up pieces of it, because he'll over reach himself all the time. He gets tired of being so careful. And he's liable to blow ridges on it. You'll very often find a preclear who'll blow a whole series of ridges in his head. And just give him a terrible flock of pains that go shooting through the head. He blows up a whole lot of little tiny control ridges one way or the other. Oh, it's very upsetting.

LRH: Okay. Now three that aren’t auditing you at this moment.

Well, a strange thetan coming around and trying to interiorize as such, in a body which you already have energized, just doesn't have much chance of doing so. You'll run into this as you work along, you'll see more people get electronically jolted out of some body. You know, you tell a preclear to move in, he moves in very smoothly and he can control this particular body. And then the next time we turn around, why we get this kind of a manifestation, entirely different manifestation. We get a; he starts in, and he comes out faster than he moves in. Mostly because he himself is a certain mass. He has to use some energy in order to control a body, he has to go on the wavelength of the body. There's already some energy in the body, because there's already somebody in the body.

PC: Runa, George, Alphia.

You'll find preclears all the time worried about getting their body stolen. They aren't going to get their body stolen. They could even be miles and miles away from it without it being stolen and animated by anybody else, simply because they have tremendous control lines on it and tremendous energy deposits in it and around it. See that? It's not very important. Now... But yet they worry about it.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s get a wider time view of this. You know, you’ve been in this business a long time now. Give me three auditors that aren’t auditing you.

Now you might not quite see how this is and so forth, This is all you need to record on it, it's just, there's not much danger in this particular line. There's not anywhere near as much danger in it as there would be in a, in the preclear shifting around and hitting one of his own automaticities or attacking one of his own automaticities.

PC: Marilyn, Dick...

Now these automatic machines have beingness in 'em. That's the only way they can operate. They have to have a beingness in them or they can't operate at all. To that degree they're alive. To that degree they're you. Because they are you because you made them.

LRH: Mm-hm.

We don't have any problem here. I mean it's, you could say you can see it on a MEST level, an E-meter builds a small E-meter. Well, it has to put into the small E-meter at least something of itself. You see that?

PC: ...and Smokey Angell.

Alright. Our problem of strange and peculiar manifestations really narrows down in terms of ghosts, spirits, haunts, and that sort of thing, into a person' being slugged by his own automaticities.

LRH: Okay. And three that are not, on a long-term basis, of the auditors you've known, three that aren’t auditing me.

And the strange problems of valence that we run into is generally a person shifting around from one automatic machine to the other automatic machine, having deserted the central command post, which is the position he should be in. But if he's in one of these automatic machines he puts an awful lot of beingness in the machine. There isn't such a thing as his ceasing to be and then becoming the machine. There's such a thing as his being able to pretend utterly that he's the machine. And being able to pretend that he isn't.

PC: Um . .. Bruce.

You can look around though, have him look around, and you can find the geographical location he ought to be in. That area is not alive, not until he goes into it. A lot of control lines and things like that go out from that area which he very, very politely used to have.

LRH: Mm-hm. [pause] Two more.

Now once in a while you get this weird manifestation of a preclear, you run something, and all of a sudden the preclear feels terrific and stays that way for about two or three days, and then feels awful. What we know as a manic.

PC: I’ve got a couple, but I can’t get their names. Jack...

Well, manics are not very important, but he could hit a high charged machine and exhaust a lot of residual lines and so forth to the machine, and be in a high state of motion. Or he could simply have begun to occupy once more his own control center as a thetan. You know, he just is a place he ought to be in as a thetan, and so it makes him feel terrific. Only he can't stay there because it's too difficult to stay there, because it's too dangerous to stay there, and so on. You just keep up your common ordinary drills and you'll get him out of this.

LRH: Mm-hm.

But how do you work an automaticity? You have the person be the machine, and be himself, and be the machine, and be himself. What happens? How do you work a preclear who is being his own automaticity? Have him be a man being worked by himself, and then have him be himself working himself, and back and forth, back and forth, get some beingness and some doingness mixed up in it, and just by going, all of a sudden the automaticity breaks down.

PC: ...Conrad.

If you were to break down all of a preclears' automaticities you'd probably break a body completely to pieces. We had one case of a fellow who had automatic machinery taken away from him for about two solid hours and he was doing it rather well, and so his auditor just sat there and took this machinery away from him for a couple of hours. And all of a sudden at the end of the time he collapsed. Suddenly his body collapsed. He began to pant, he was in a dreadful state of commotion. And he dropped straight into some space opera, and he had just that moment been shot. And if there was any carefully compartmented engram of anything, it was the engram of his having been shot that time, mostly 'cause there was so much energy in it. I suppose he's keeping it around to make a new machine out of it someday. But he dropped square into it and he panted and so on. All the auditor did was restore some of his havingness, give him back a few automaticities, spread him around, let him catch his breath, and he was in beautiful condition. So you see there's not much liability to it.

LRH: Okay. And three that aren’t auditing you.

Alright, as we go over this picture of the preclear we find he is as complex as he cares to be. But he is complex upon these centralized points as we go down the line, of knowingness, duplication, control, beingness, doingness, havingness, space, energy, time, communication, cause, effect, the scale from know down to sex, the curve of nothing/create/survive/destroy/nothing, the dichotomy of nothing/something, the eight dynamics, ARC, the tone scale, including of course ownership, protection, hiding. He's mixed up, he's a different kind of cake. He's always a different kind of cake, but he's always baked with the same ingredients. Or half baked.

PC: John.

Now, recognizing the anatomy of the beast it's very easy to take the beast apart. But don't be surprised to find some of these beasts suddenly becoming wash basins. Momentarily the fellow says, "I have funny feeling around my collar." "What is that?" "I don't know", he says, "I don't know what it is. Funny feeling, though." Well, you don't even have to pay too much attention to it. Have him look through it and it'll generally go away. But you've hit a time when he - when a wash basin won. That's all. It's no more inexplicable than that. A wash basin won.

LRH: Mm-hm.

Now, do you know that you will run into preclears who quite uniformly shift in and out of the human body line? So don't be upset about that either. You see the, I mean the guy runs a horse this life, he decides he'll be a horse, he's a perfectly good horse, and then he decides he'll be a human being. The Egyptians used to talk about transmigration of the soul, as though this is something that happened and it migrated with immigration papers or something. That a fellow who has been very mean to horses is liable to make it up by being a horse. He can be a very savvy horse. Well every once in a while you run into a real wise horse. Real smart horse. Can't get him to do anything, work his way out of anything. Well, that's some thetan running the glorious irresponsibility of being a horse.

PC: Bruce...

Once in a while you run into a dog. I ran into one yesterday. Tipped my hat and said hello. He was a real smart, wise old dog. He was a very fine dog. He was a cross-breed of this and that and he was real tough and he was with a couple of young boys that he looked after. You could look in his eyes and see that there was more there than a dog, very, very easy. So I said hello to him and asked him if he was having a good time, and he barked once.

LRH: Mm-hm.

Now, a thetan can play the game of "let's pretend" to such a tremendous degree that he can convince himself utterly. Now that is one of the weirdest talents he has. To be able to play the game of let's pretend so thoroughly that he won't have any memory beyond a certain point, that he won't remember certain things, that he won't recall his own anatomy or know how he got there, or know where he's going, or anything else. He's playing the game of let's pretend. So he can let's pretend I'm a wash basin, or let's pretend I'm a lion.

PC: Joyce.

One day, one day at one of the old foundations we ran a preclear through the lifetime of a lion who had bitten her keeper. Do you remember that one? And she recovered from her psychosis. That was all that was done to her, we just ran out the overt act of biting the keeper. Everybody says, "My god, what will these preclears think of next?", you know, and they were all upset about this. She'd been a lion, no doubt about that.

LRH: Good. Let’s be three feet back of your head.

Well, "Be surprised at nothing" is a tremendously good motto. And even though there are many beautiful surprises, it'd be a dull universe if there weren't. Don't, just because you run into surprises, start taking your fingers off these very specific essentials such as knowingness, control, duplication, beingness, doingness, havingness, space, energy, time, communication, cause and effect, the scale from know down to sex, the nothingness/ create/survive/destroy/nothingness cycle of action, the nothingness/something dichotomy, the eight dynamics, ARC, the tone scale clear on down to ownership and hiding.

Little easier now?

The most common tone to cases that don't exteriorize or work well is fear. So you start running, "Give me three things you're not afraid of" to a great certainty. He's liable to wind up by getting three nothingnesses of something that he's not afraid of. Of course, when you get nothingnesses being wonderful you're running a case which is looking for relief, not looking for release. Two different things.

PC: Little bit, not too much.

Of course, relief comes at the end of an operation or the end of ardor. You're running a case who requires an enormous enforcement of present time to be in present time. You're running a case which goes up to present time for emergency periods only, who is otherwise waiting for something to force him into present time before he's in present time.

LRH: Not too much. All right. Give me three places in your body where you aren’t thinking.

You run cases of that character these cases are normally... they're not in fear, they're not at 1.0 on the tone scale. But the one band they can't cross or fool around with very much is fear. They can't touch the wall, they get hold of the wall, they can't let go of the wall. Things like this. They are having trouble, they're afraid of things and they're doing an automatic let go. They expect you by some necromancy to make them let go of their own head. They're waiting for an effect, of course.

PC: Hot thinking in my right foot, left foot, my right kneecap.

Such a case is unmistakable since it runs rather uniformly any case even vaguely resembling that, and almost any case that will not exteriorize. Except the very, very low toned ones where they're in catatonic schizophrenia. You know, just wuaaa. Almost any case is doing this, they put out an idea to get a recoiled action against their own body. You ask them to run a concept, they put out the concept so that they can get a somatic. And that's a common denominator of cases that don't exteriorize well.

LRH: All right. Three more places where you’re not thinking.

And the other, the other common line that we've been working forward toward and up to here during these first couple of weeks, we've tried to go over theory and get you well grounded in that so that you'd understand some more of exteriorization and it's mechanics. The one band that they, that they free on is fear. And the fear of course, when freed, will leave the auditor with a certain amount of hate to resolve. There's hate kicking around here. So, "Give me three things you don't hate, give me three things you're not afraid of", you get 'em with certainty. Run a lot of that.

PC: My lefthand, my abdomen, my pelvis.

And don't forget, in all auditing, in all auditing, to have people put emotions into things and feel them back, thinkingness into things and feel them back, sensations into things and feel them back. That's background music to auditing. You're probably not doing even vaguely, even vaguely enough of that.

LRH: Okay. And give me three auditors that aren’t auditing you at this moment.

Put blackness on the outside of the wall; something wrong with the case, have him put it on the outside of the wall, and get it back. You'd be surprised at some of the effort on some of these cases every time the guy starts to think of something angry he closes his eyes, he puts out a certain amount of energy, and it'll, he'll get the visio of the wall being knocked out. And as he lets it go he'll get a visio of on the whole town being knocked flat. That's how mad he is.

PC: Melanie, Margaret and Elizabeth.

And so you start putting anger into things, running the preclear one way or the other, well, you can expect destruction and chaos to be envisioned by him in all directions. Of course, because it happens in mock up, not actually, it only demonstrates this - this is what he'd like to do and can't. So therefore he can do it to a mock up and say he's doing it, but he won't do it on the actuality then, because he hasn't got enough fear.

LRH: Okay. Three more.

You get an operating thetan up along the line; if he became too slighted by a town I imagine he would knock it flat. That's tough. But, gee you'd have to work to get him sore. You'd just have to work like mad. And it'd probably take an operating thetan to get him sore, to get him real mad. It'd have to be some awful dirty trick. I can't imagine off hand exactly how you would go about getting an operating thetan mad enough to flatten a town. I know because a few times, puckishly I have sat around and tried to persuade some of them to knock Moscow flat. It's as though I considered it was very serious and this is something that should be done, and so forth. And I'd even gone to the point of getting one to volunteer to do it and go on his way. And then have him get interested in a peasant fishing in the river, or something else.

PC: Jonathan, Pam, [sighs] Jim.

A thetan, by the way is, will get, is tremendously non-sequitur. This non-sequitur-ness is a, is a symptom of very high tone. It's tremendous differentiation. It is the perfectly connected logic for him for instance, to say, "This room, the library, doesn't have any chrysanthemums." And that would be even a little more logical than he would consider logical. As a person begins to differentiate, meanings become wider and wider apart and a consecutive flow of conversation then becomes wider and wider apart.

LRH: Okay. Now give me three preclears you’re not processing right now.

Did you ever know anybody who double-talked with great ease? You know, he talks about the chrysanthemums and the beer and why do submarines and there are no spokes; because of the air. And we're drawing a long monologic conversation on this subject. But don't look at that person, look at the persons around listening to him ...[?] dying!

PC: Lee, Edna, Jackie.

LRH: Good. And three auditors who aren’t auditing you right now.

PC: Cliff, Wanda, Jerry.

Also have him put blackness on the outside of walls and feel it back.

LRH: Good. Three more that aren’t auditing you.

The Greeks booby-trapped thetans with their (pagan) theta traps. If anyone ever tries to build a temple to you, knock it flat.

PC: Connie, Esta, Vicky.

A case can almost be indexed by the amount of static energy he has hanging around. A case that talks about energy and yet isn't high toned is having only facsimiles. He can't have.

LRH: Good. Give me three techniques that aren’t being used on you at this moment.

PC: Repeater.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Double Terminals.

LRH: Good.

PC: Self Analysis.

LRH: Good. And three auditors who aren’t auditing other auditors.

PC: Hank, he isn’t auditing Alphia.

LRH: Good.

PC: Dick isn ’t auditing Carroll.

LRH: Good.

PC: Pam isn’t auditing Lee.

LRH: Good. Give me three auditing breaks which aren’t being made at this moment.

PC: Not being invalidated, being evaluatedfor, not being made uncertain.

LRH: Not being made what?

PC: Uncertain.

LRH: Good. All right. And three auditors who aren’t auditing you?

PC: Is it all right to start duplicating?

LRH: Well now, there’s no laws against duplicating, not around here.

PC: Jeannette, Ross and Dick.

LRH: Okay. And what auditor in particular isn’t auditing you right now?

PC: Lulu.

LRH: Mm-hm.You sure of that?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Then be three feet back of your head.

PC: A little bit easier.

LRH: Good. Throw up a mock-up of buttering you all over the universe.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw the duplicates away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Be three feet back of your head now and make a duplicate of the room.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Mock-up a horse’s body (this is nothing personal), just mock-up a horse’s body that you’re going to say you’ve exteriorized from right now-pretend you’ve exteriorized from this horse’s body.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And get where you’re not in this horse’s body.

PC: I know Гт not in his head, not in his feet, not in his tail.

LRH: Good. Now get exactly where you are located with regard to the horse now.

PC: About three feet above his head.

LRH: Good. Good. Now make the horse go away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Now let’s get a baseball from which you’re exteriorizing.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And get how fine this is to exteriorize from dead horsehide, not live horsehide.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: You got that? All right. Now tell me where you’re not in the baseball.

PC: Not in the center of it, not on the seams, not touching it.

LRH: Good. Throw it away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Go awayokay?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now let’s get a very, very old man that you’re exteriorizing from at this moment.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got him?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Now tell me where you’re not thinking in his body?

PC: Not thinking in his beard, not thinking in his head, in his chest.

LRH: Good. Throw him away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Now let’s be in the place which is most pleasant to you in this life.

PC: Someplace I’ve actually been?

LRH: I don’t care. You’re telling me.

PC: Well, there’s a real nice island in the South Seas.

LRH: Good. You got it?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got it realgood? Has it got good mass?

PC: Mm, fair.

LRH: Fair. Whydon’t you give it some moremass. Make several duplicates of it and push them into it.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Pretty good?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Better?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Take one of the duplicates out and throw it away. Maybe you had too many there.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Now mock-up two more duplicates and push it in.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Now let’s get a no-island right along side of it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now which is the most pleasant?

PC: The no-island.

LRH: The no-island. Okay. Now let’s be sitting on top of this no-island and get a no-girl, [laughter]

PC: Okay.

LRH: Pretty good?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now let’s throw all this away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Be three feet back of your head.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And give me three places you’re not.

PC: on the microphone, not on the right-hand upper thumbtack in the bulletin board.

LRH: Good.

PC: And I'm not in the lower back left-hand corner of the room.

LRH: Good. All right. Now, how’s your certainty now of exteriorization? A little better, a little worse, how?

PC: Much better.

LRH: Much better.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: I wonder what could have made it much better. Well.. . All right. Now be three feet back of your head there and mock-up a set of eyes.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another set.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another set.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another set.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Another set.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now let’s mock-up a set and waste them.

PC: Okay.

LRH: How did you waste them?

PC: Squashed them with a big hammer.

LRH: Good. All right. Now let’s take a set of these and see how beautiful they are to look through.

PC: Yes. But got an idea things could be much more beautiful.

LRH: Yeah? Oh, no. Let’s get how beautiful they are to look through and how it’s just the thing, the thing to have, the thing to do.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Throw them away.

PC: M.m-hm.

LRH: Okay. Now, tell me three things you don’t have to know at this moment.

PC: Don't have to know how many people there are in this room.

LRH: Good. Another one.

PC: Don't have to know what time it is... the exact time.

LRH: Good.

PC: [sighs]

LRH: One more.

PC: Don't need to know what’s happening at the North Pole.

LRH: Good. All right. Tell me three more things you don’t have to know.

PC: Don't have to know what’s going on at the city hall.

LRH: Good.

PC: Don't have to know what the temperature is at the center of the Earth.

LRH: Good.

PC: Don’t have to know whether it’s going to rain five months from now.

LRH: All right. Now give me three things of which you don’t have to be certain. [pause] Give me one.

PC: Having trouble.

LRH: Just one, one thing of which you don’t have to be certain.

PC: Don’t have to be certain what nothing is.

LRH: Okay, [laughter] All right, one more.

PC: I don’t have to be certain of how far it isfrom here to the Sun.

LRH: Good.

PC: Reallydon’t have to be certain of what you re going to do in the next few minutes.

LRH: Okay. Good. All right. Now let’s get three questions you’re not being asked.

PC: I'm not being asked my name. Not being asked where I am.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: And now I'm not being asked what time it is.

LRH: Good. Now be three feet back of your head there and tell me how your certainty and perception is.

PC: Better, but still not very good.

LRH: Not very good. Well, tell me three places you don’t have to perceive.

PC: Don't have to perceive in back of this building.

LRH: Good.

PC: Don I have to perceive on the Moon.

LRH: Good.

PC: Don't have to perceive what’s going on in the Field Museum in Chicago.

LRH: Good. All right. Now, your perception getting a little better or certainty getting a little better there as we go along or...?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Now tell me three places you don’t have to be this very instant.

PC: Don't have to be in Oakland, Don’t have to be in New York. Don’t have to be in Nashville.

LRH: Good. Three more places you don't have to be at this instant.

PC: Don’t have to be in Austin, Texas. Don’t have to be in Rockford, Illinois. Don’t have to be in Newmarket, Ontario.

LRH: Good. And three things now-three more things of which you don’t have to be certain.

PC: I don’t have to be certain of what everybody else is doing.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: What everybody else has.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: A nd of what everybody else’s certainty is.

LRH: Okay. That’s a cagey one.

All right. Give me three places where it wouldn’t be necessary to be in present time.

PC: Well, it’s not necessary to be in Central Drive-In, not necessary to be in Enis Department Store, not necessary to be in the store across the street.

LRH: All right. Give me three things around here close someplace that it isn’t important for you to smell.

PC: Hmmm. It’s not important for me to smell the air outside right now.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Not important for me to smell some garbage can outside.

LRH: Good.

PC: And it’s not important for me to smell what’s on the porch here.

LRH: Good. Now what emotions don’t you have to combat at this moment? Give me three emotions you don’t have to combat at this moment.

PC: Apathy, grief, serenity.

LRH: Good. Now let’s get-that last one’s real good, isn’t it? You don’t ever have to combat it. [laughter]

All right. Give me three things you’re not trying to be at this instant.

PC: I got cat, man and dog.

LRH: All right. Are you trying to be a man at this instant?

PC: I can take a double look at that.

LRH: Well, give me one...

PC: The answer is no.

LRH: Huh?

PC: The answer is no.

LRH: Okay. All right. Now be three feet back of your head and get a body, no matter what kind of a body.

PC: Mock one up?

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And then duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now just continue to duplicate it until you got an awful lot of it.

PC: It r a pitiful looking thing.

LRH: Okay. Get a lot of it.

PC: Actually doesn ’t even have a head.

LRH: Good, [pause] Got lots of them now?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Give them to somebody they’d be acceptable to.

PC: They’d be acceptable to a scarecrow.

LRH: All right. Give them to a scare crow.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Now let’s mock-up a little bit better kind of body.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: You as sure of this one?

PC: I'm having difficulty getting it.

LRH: Well, get a worse kind of body.

PC: Okay. This one is just kind of a stick figure.

LRH: All right. Now duplicate it a lot of times.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Great. Now give all those to whoever it would be acceptable to.

PC: May be acceptable to a little boy to play with.

LRH: All right. Give them to him.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now get a much worse kind of body.

PC: [yawns]...[laughs] I get a rounded ball sort of face.''

LRH: All right. Good. Now duplicate it several times.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Who’s that acceptable to?

PC: Hm. Acceptable to some other beings that have round-ball bodies.

LRH: All right. Give it to them.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Now mock-up your body and blow it up.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Mock it up and blow it up again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now mock it up and implode it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Mock it up and implode it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Okay. Get a nothingness of your body.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Be three feet back of your head.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: How are you doing?

PC: Better.

LRH: Doing a lot better? Perception any better?

PC: Blackness right now.

LRH: Blackness. But do you have a feeling of...

PC: Yes.

LRH: ...being more in a unit?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Okay. Put a big sphere of blackness around the blackness which you now have.

PC: [laughs] I had to go outside and look at it to make sure it was bigger.

LRH: That a boy! [laughter]

All right. Throw it away and be where you please.

PC: Okay.

LRH: You all right now?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Grab on to two back anchor points of the room.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. End of session.

PC: Thank you.

LRH: Good.

Okay. Any questions about this session? Any new, strange or irrelevant material suddenly show up?

I was using Acceptance Level Processing there, not absolutely necessary, but very interesting. Sometimes on a case like that, why, a person gets a body that’s terribly acceptable to him.

Yes?

Male voice: Was there some reason for sticking to names of auditors who are not auditing you for some reference?

Yes. There was a specific reason. There had been an auditing break on this preclear, an auditing break on George here in the last twenty-four hours, which had spattered him around a little bit. And this person’s name wasn’t coming up, which was why I just kept drum-drum-drum-drum-pound-pound-pound-pound until we finally got the auditor’s name. As soon as we got the auditor’s name, well, we kicked it out.

You see what I was looking for there?

Now that took a long time, didn’t it, George, to unearth? You notice we were-it wasn’t a preclear problem, because we had a fast communication. But it must be an auditor problem because we weren’t getting too much change on the auditor lag. So I changed it off into a present time bracket, more or less. Three auditors that aren’t auditing me and so forth, just so we get shaken up on the subject of auditors a little bit. And we finally get this out.

This is a very indirect method, but a very effective one of recovering sessions and so on.

Another one, with a preclear being a little bit more stable condition, exteriorized, see, a little bit better exteriorization-you just chase him around to all the auditing rooms. And more auditing rooms show up on some preclear that’s been in Dianetics and Scientology. There’s just lots and lots and lots of auditing rooms. And first he finds three of them and then he finds four of them and then he finds eight of them and then he’s got, finally, twenty-five of them and then he’s got thirty-five and then he’s got a couple of hundred. And he’s finally moving around being in this one and that one and the next one and the next and the next and the next, just ziggity-ziggity-zing-a-zing-a-zing-zing.

And then he’s in present time in all of them and says, “What do you know, they’ve redecorated the place.”

Well, as soon as you start to get this kind of a manifestation, you’re snapping him into present time in those places. You’re getting the manifestation of present time elsewhere. See that?

Although the patter I was using on George here was apparently not-although we did have this specific problem we were working out, you generally have a problem you’re working out with a preclear if you’ve done your work well-one kind or another.

Well, although the patter I was using was apparently not very specific and so forth, it was just standard patter. It was varied a little bit here and there and the only process I threw in on him was Acceptance Level Processing. The only reason I threw that in is because he hadn’t yet mentioned that he had a view of his body. So, I was just using this process to get him to mock-up and look at bodies. That’s the only reason we were using that process. Had no deeper significance than that.

Preclear will always read much deeper significance into what you’re doing than what you’re putting there-inevitably.

But the cardinal crime in auditing is to ask somebody where he is. You can ask him Ц if he’s stabilized or if he’s certain he’s outside or something. But “Where are you?” and then start sending him to places when he hasn’t yet answered this question to his own satisfaction...

Now, he has to volunteer the answer to it. I don’t care if it took you fifteen hours, you wait for the guy to volunteer this. And he suddenly says, “You know, I’m sitting right up here in the corner of the room looking down at the whole room.” Okay. So he’s there in the corner of the room. He volunteered the answer. You never ask him for it.

So, you ask him where he’s not, never where he is. You got it?

Female voice: Mm-hm.

Well, we’re late for lunch. Let’s go!
