Actually, this is and always has been part of a wider program, the program which includes the third and fourth dynamic. For a long time there have been many things on our future time track. There was the university, a place where the broader applications of arts and science could help to realize a better Earth. And not least is that item called the atom bomb and programs to either defeat its destruction if applied or even to nullify its application. | Actually, this is and always has been part of a wider program, the program which includes the third and fourth dynamic.

Very few people have realized that while organizational shapes have changed, the program has never changed. It has not even been slowed regardless of organizational ineptness for the first point I had to win for us all was MILESTONE ONE. That had to be reached. MILESTONE ONE is the point where you and I as individuals, become the best beings we know how to be. The techniques to permit us to reach that had to be perfected and they had to be perfected to a point where not just Hubbard could "make it work": they had to come up to point where an auditor, with minimal study, could make it work. Well, we have the techniques and communications lines, from this office to you, to permit MILESTONE ONE TO BE ATTAINED. I am getting my two hours a day. You, with the information now developed can, with me, reach that milestone. | Very few people have realized that while organizational shapes have changed, the program has never changed.

So near is this goal, so easy is it to attain now, that at last the wider program of DIANETICS can begin, emanating, in terms of service and publications and packaged courses, from this office. Dozens of clears are backing it up in every part of the country. We're away from the post and beginning to assemble a MILESTONE ONE. So what if it took me longer to get us away than we hoped? The point is that we're already on our way on the third and fourth dynamics and we daily have more reaching MILESTONE ONE. Our cleared nuclear physicists are springing up with data which should alarm proponents of bombs. And our communications, by August, Will reach the world. | So near is this goal, so easy is it to attain now, that at last the wider program of DIANETICS can begin, emanating, in terms of service and publications and packaged courses, from this office.

Now I am going to need your help to carry the fort. I'm going to need good, solid, loyal cooperation, a deaf ear to the entheta merchants, a turned back to those who would stop us legally or organizationally. With cooperation we can turn the world into something better than an entheta factory for the hopeless. | Now I am going to need your help to carry the fort.

I want you to write and tell me how things look from your viewpoint and give me your suggestions as to what we should do to make DIANETICS roll. And then I can give you service enough to get this job done. We need to be a close-knit, one goal group, individually and collectively strong enough to make ourselves felt and felt like a battering ram in the cause of sanity. Forget yesterday.

HUBBARD COLLEGE | HUBBARD COLLEGE |
Hubbard College is established in Phoenix, Arizona. It consists of a graduate school and an extension course college. Hubbard College Associates are operating in the major cities of the United States and Canada, and these are individuals and groups who have agreed to furnish training facilities on a par with those available in Phoenix. | Hubbard College is established in Phoenix, Arizona. It consists of a graduate school and an extension course college.

The Office of L. Ron Hubbard, at 1405 North Central, Phoenix, Arizona, handles correspondence, book orders, and acts as general communications center for Mr. Hubbard and Hubbard College. Of particular interest to groups everywhere are the various services offered by this Office. Groups can register with the Office merely by sending in a list of the officers and members and listing the official group name and address. Once a group is registered, it is eligible for 40% discount on publications, and can get special Group Courses to aid in training. | The Office of L.

Once a group is registered, it is eligible for 40% discount on publications, and can get special Group Courses to aid in training. |
The Group Courses are actually a part of the Hubbard College Extension Program. One course consists of 12 lectures on tape recordings, by L. Ron Hubbard, accompanied by 10 sets of twelve booklets which are to be studied in conjunction with the tape lectures. Ten sets of other needed instructional materials are included, such as Handbook for Preclears and Advanced Procedure and Axioms. Included in this course is a Mathison Electropsychometer. The total value of all these items is over $500, and the Course is offered to Groups at $250. Thus a group of ten people can obtain all the needed data and materials to begin active and effective work in Dianetics, at $25 per person. This is truly a bargain. | The Group Courses are actually a part of the Hubbard College Extension Program. One course consists of 12 lectures on tape recordings, by L.

College Associates offer courses similar to the long course mentioned above. Anyone who successfully completes the long course, either at a College Associate or through Group work, receives the designation of "Registered Dianeticist." College Associates also offer more complete courses leading to certification as a Hubbard Dianetic Auditor (H.D.A.). | College Associates offer courses similar to the long course mentioned above.

Instruction at Hubbard College is personally supervised by Ron Hubbard, and he participates in personal lectures and instruction of the students there. The regular H.D.A. course at the College is eight weeks in length and costs $500 plus room and board. Graduate courses are also offered; these are intended for those who already possess H.D.A. certificates and who have been practicing extensively for some time. These courses lead to the degree of Bachelor of Dianetics; Masters and Doctors degrees in Dianetics are also available after taking much longer courses through special arrangements. Auditors who have been certified by College Associates may take their degree courses, if they are qualified, by going to Phoenix. | Instruction at Hubbard College is personally supervised by Ron Hubbard, and he participates in personal lectures and instruction of the students there.

Many of the newer concepts in Dianetics are far beyond the bounds of what this society generally considers possible. As an aid to meeting the inevitable resistance which arises in such circumstances, the small, 12 lecture Group Course described above contains only a bare minimum of the more advanced information; yet the data presented is sufficient to get newcomers in the field well launched as auditors. From then on, they will presumably unearth some of the newer concepts in their own work. | Many of the newer concepts in Dianetics are far beyond the bounds of what this society generally considers possible.

When he laid himself down to rest, the world was not too terrible.

When he awakened, however, things had changed. He stood outside his cave and looked at the world. Yes, somehow it had changed. The hills were ugly and brown. Near at hand two women were quarreling. Far away a red cloud rose and when he looked more closely he saw that it was a battle. And so he walked down through the fields and towns trying to find what had happened. | When he awakened, however, things had changed. He stood outside his cave and looked at the world.

Men glowered at him. Children did not play. And there was little food and the haggard faces of all showed that each staggered under some heavy burden of grief.

And the man, or perhaps he was not a man, saw that the world had come into trying times. |
He wandered about, understanding that here he faced a black enchantment, thickly laid upon the souls of men. Perhaps some sorcerer had done it to men, perhaps men had done it to themselves. But it did not matter. The world had gone mad. Somebody must do something. | He wandered about, understanding that here he faced a black enchantment, thickly laid upon the souls of men. Perhaps some sorcerer had done it to men, perhaps men had done it to themselves. But it did not matter. The world had gone mad. Somebody must do something. |
The man thought for many days. And then he made a golden ball and filled it with everything necessary to undo a black enchantment. It was a very pretty ball, on the end of an ivory stick. And it was very easy to use for one had but to hold it over the head of a human being and wish him well to break the thrall which held that being. | The man thought for many days.

And the man went forth and held it over the heads of dozens of people and did not tell them what it was and they suddenly smiled and became bright and the thrall was broken for them. And the man saw that this was good and so he showed many people how to use the golden ball and told them all that was necessary to break the black enchantment clear across the whole world. | And the man went forth and held it over the heads of dozens of people and did not tell them what it was and they suddenly smiled and became bright and the thrall was broken for them.

And some used it. But others said, "Isn't it pretty!" and began to play catch with it. And some said, "It isn't really gold." And some wanted to hide it for fear it would be stolen. And some said, "It's GOLD!" and bought knives and pistols with it and fought. And some said cunningly, "With thig POWER I can rule Earth." And others simply ran about and said it wasn't really a ball and that the man had stolen it from others and they clutched their black enchantment about them and whispered that the man had done it in the first place and that he planned to kill them all. | And some used it.

But the man paid little heed. He tried to form companies to make the golden ball available to many. But the people in the companies said, "It's mine!" "It's power!" "It's gold!" and "The man will kill us all!" and so they fought amongst themselves and threw dust over the golden ball and tried to dent it. | But the man paid little heed.

The above listed package is labeled the SUMMARY COURSE IN DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY. This is a course which brings all of the latest developments in this science into one very neat package of technique. Mr. Hubbard leads the student through the necessary understanding of terminology; points out each phenomena of behavior and of the mind; demonstrates this phenomena and then leads the listener into a recognition of the invariability of the axiom related to this phenomena. Yes, this is the course that will introduce you to Dianetics and Scientology, make you acquainted with the knowledge that has been changing lives, giving man the opportunity to be SANE, HEALTHY, AND MANAGE HIS ENVIRONMENT. This course is designed so that the leader of a group, the HDA, the BOOK AUDITOR can put the tapes in operation over a set schedule and continue its operation on the basis that a charge is made only for the books involved - not for listening to the tapes. Testing is done only to prove up the fact that the student has accomplished his goal. Certificates of accomplishment are issued from this office. | The above listed package is labeled the SUMMARY COURSE IN DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY.

This course is designed so that the leader of a group, the HDA, the BOOK AUDITOR can put the tapes in operation over a set schedule and continue its operation on the basis that a charge is made only for the books involved - not for listening to the tapes. Testing is done only to prove up the fact that the student has accomplished his goal. Certificates of accomplishment are issued from this office. |

The first 27 booklets parallel the 27 lectures of the Hubbard College Lecture Series given in Wichita in March 1952. Booklets 28 to 31 are taken from the Technique 80 Lectures of Phoenix, May 1952. The reamaining 19 booklets are based on the Technique 88 Lectures of June 1952. Tapes of these lectures were supplemented by the booklets and together they formed the Professional Course. | The first 27 booklets parallel the 27 lectures of the Hubbard College Lecture Series given in Wichita in March 1952.

These "50 Course Books" carried forward all the basic technology of Dianetics and Scientology, with particular emphasis on the material developed between January and December, 1952. They contained an enormous amount of material fundamental to an understanding of the mind, with many illustrations. They could be said to have comprised a study course in themselves, but were at the same time part and parcel of the Professional Course. | These "50 Course Books" carried forward all the basic technology of Dianetics and Scientology, with particular emphasis on the material developed between January and December, 1952.

In April of 1952, a special courier arrived within the range of the writer bearing type-written transcripts of ten of Mr. Hubbard's lectures, which had very recently been given and recorded on tapes. With the transcripts were two sheets of instructions from Mr. Hubbard which told just how the booklets were to be prepared and what was to be in them. The writer accepted the transcripts and the job but took very few pains to follow the instructions. The first ten booklets were written without any consultation with Mr. Hubbard, and the following seventeen have been written after only five days spent with Mr. Hubbard, plus a few telephone calls. | In April of 1952, a special courier arrived within the range of the writer bearing type-written transcripts of ten of Mr. Hubbard's lectures, which had very recently been given and recorded on tapes.

Mr. Hubbard's confidence in those who assist him is widely known for its dramatic qualities. It is all or nothing at all. Either he assumes that his assistants can do no wrong, or he fires them from cannons. In the case of these booklets, in a manner typical of him, Mr. Hubbard has assumed that the writer could do no wrong, and he has not bothered to read much of the material which has been prepared. | Mr. Hubbard's confidence in those who assist him is widely known for its dramatic qualities.

The writer assumes no liability for the inventions and discoveries of Mr. Hubbard. The writer did not invent, develop or discover theta, MEST, facsimiles, past lives, thought, emotion, effort, affinity, reality, communication, or any of the numerous other parts of Dianetics and Scientology. The writer refuses to assume responsibility for any of these things and shoves the entire blame for them off on Mr. Hubbard. | The writer assumes no liability for the inventions and discoveries of Mr. Hubbard.

On the other hand, Mr. Hubbard is not responsible for any of the bad jokes, misinterpretations, repetitions, maddening questions, non-sequiturs, contradictions, misspellings, typographical errors, or pedantic scholasticisms which some readers may fancy they find throughout the forogoing work. D. Folgere regretfully and covertly assumes the responsibility for these, but will not be at home any time to discuss them with anybody. | On the other hand, Mr. Hubbard is not responsible for any of the bad jokes, misinterpretations, repetitions, maddening questions, non-sequiturs, contradictions, misspellings, typographical errors, or pedantic scholasticisms which some readers may fancy they find throughout the forogoing work.

The writer has learned a great deal while preparing these booklets. Sometimes the texts of the lectures were read four or five times before the writer felt that he could summarize or paraphrase the meaning of them. Often there were little contradictions, inescapable in an informal lecture, to be resolved. From time to time there were gross misrenderings by the transcriber. In number seventeen, for example, the auditor asks the pre-clear if he has ever split anyone's head open with a mace. The first transcript which the writer received of this lecture substituted the word "vase" for "mace." Consequently, the word "vase" appears in booklet seventeen, and it looks quite silly. The writer should have had enough on the ball to catch this, but didn't. | The writer has learned a great deal while preparing these booklets.

The writer hopes that the reader will be helped by these booklets to extract all possible information out of the recorded lectures. This has been a conscientious effort to render, in language quite different from that of Mr. Hubbard and from a much more commonplace point of view than that of Mr. Hubbard, the ideas which are sometimes so beautifully expressed and sometimes so annoyingly passed over or merely hinted at in the lectures. | The writer hopes that the reader will be helped by these booklets to extract all possible information out of the recorded lectures.

The writer hopes that reading the booklet will be a good substitute to the student for the opportunity which the writer has had to study the original texts of the lectures at length and in detail. It cannot be denied that if a thing is expressed in two ways, by two different persons, it is more likely to be understood than if it is only expressed by one person; on the other hand, when that idea is the creation of one individual, it is hard for another individual to catch hold of it and turn it around and send it out again without missing a few of the fine points here and there. | The writer hopes that reading the booklet will be a good substitute to the student for the opportunity which the writer has had to study the original texts of the lectures at length and in detail.

1. Theta, operating in the physical universe, can be said to do two things: it can be said to BE, and it can be said to receive and record impressions of the physical universe. A mind, then, can be said to be made up of an initial and constantly reiterated decision to BE, plus many recorded impressions of the physical universe which are used in controlling the physical universe. This description, however, though useful, is misleading when applied to a living human being, since the mind of a living human being is apparently made up of more than one BEING and, consequently, of more than one set of recorded impressions. | 1.

| 2. The beings which make up the mind of a human being are here called ENTITIES. They may be thought of as separate persons with separate past lives and memories though they may hold many memories more or less in common with other entities which are parts of the same mind. One entity may be the actor in a certain experience, another entity may be present only as an observer, while a third may not be aware of this experience at all, and still all three of these entities may be parts of the mind of the same human being. | 2.

3. We may begin our enumeration and description of the entities which make up the human mind with that entity which is least surprising, the somatic entity. The somatic entity is that being which carries on the evolution of an organism, following the genetic line. The somatic entity would include under its command all the epicenters of the organism. The somatic entity would be independent of the protoplasmic line, the undying organic line without which no organism but the simplest is brought into existene but it would follow the course of that endless flow of organic life closely in most cases. We might suppose that a certain somatic entity might be named Smith in many succeeding organisms. | 3.

We might suppose that a certain somatic entity might be named Smith in many succeeding organisms. |
It is interesting to speculate upon the relationship between the somatic entity and the protoplasmic line. Probably the closest approach which can be made at this writing is that the somatic entity is like an individual running along a road, expertly rolling a great many hoops. He would be the captain of a company of little life organisms, the cells, and particularly the reproductive cells, of the body. Other somatic entities might be supposed to stand by the side of the road, waiting for some of these hoops to become detached by procreation, and expecting to take charge of them and roll them when they became detached from the hoops of the first entity. There might be a group of Smith entities which had charge of the Smith line so long as there were enough Smith hoops to go around, or who called in help from elsewhere or split themselves when too many Smith hoops were created by procreation. | It is interesting to speculate upon the relationship between the somatic entity and the protoplasmic line.

These hoops would, of course, have a certain amount of forward motion of their own. They would contain enough theta to continue their life briefly as cells, but their organization into more complete organisms would depend upon the guiding hand of the somatic entity. If left to themselves, they would soon slow and fall (the death of the cell.) If left to themselves as groups (human beings) they would slow down and break up (the death of the more complex organism.) | These hoops would, of course, have a certain amount of forward motion of their own.

The somatic entity might be supposed to be quite similar for an animal and a human being. The difference would be only that the somatic entity of the human being would be "bigger" and would have more work to do. | The somatic entity might be supposed to be quite similar for an animal and a human being.

4. There are three or four other classes of entities making up the mind, besides the somatic entity. The somatic entity is far from being in command of the mind, although like any other entity it may take command under the proper circumstances. | 4.

16. Now the question arises, if the somatic entity is the only one which is intimately connected with the genetic line of the organism, when do the other entities join the organism? The most accurate answer which can be given at this time is that the thetan and the other principle entities join the organism just before birth. The two outboard entitles, however, seem to be added after birth, although not much evidence has been examined on that subject at this writing. | 16.

These join the organism at the invitation of some entity. They appear to be gathered up by the entity for the purpose of life continuum. If the individual, under the command of a particular entity, performs an overt act, killing someone, he may as that entity invite some entity of the victim to join his organism and be a part of his organism. This invitation would be for the purpose of continuing the life of the victim and "proving" that no overt act has been performed after all. | These join the organism at the invitation of some entity.

Idle entities are characterized by a certain decadence. They have apparently not enough force left in them to make them capable of running an organism, and so they drift about at the beck and call of other entities. | Idle entities are characterized by a certain decadence.

20. Any entity which inhabits an organism is capable of producing a somatic in that organism. This should indicate the futility of embarking upon an auditing procedure of running out somatics, to the exclusion of thought, emotion and effort. Somatics can be run out, but there is an alInost infinite number of them, since each entity may have millions, to be over-conservative. | 20.

21. Different entities respond to different auditors. For this reason, a case which is being audited by one auditor, say a man, may turn into a very different case when being audited by another auditor, say a woman.

22. Sometimes the auditor will find himself auditing an incident in which the pre-clear is "out of valence" The pre-clear is an observer, watching the organism go through the experience. What is happening is that the auditor is auditing an entity which was aware of the experience but was not in command of the organism during the experience. This entity will have some charge on the experience as an observer and may be audited as an observer. The main charge will be on the entity which was in command, but that charge may have put that entity to "sleep", leaving some other entity in command. Auditing the observer through the incident will usually wake up the former command entity in the incident, and then the main charge may be run. | 22.

23. Second and third year students will readily recognize the same old phenomena with which they are so familiar being explained more profitably in the light of new phenomena turned up by later research.

25. If the auditor asks the pre-clear to give the first answer which occurs to him in terms of yes-or-no, or a number or a name at the snap of the auditor's fingers, the preclear may give information which he has been otherwise unable to give. This phenomenon has been called the File Clerk phenomenon. Later research and theory suggests that "File Clerk" answers are solutions to problems which are being offered by the thetan, which is operating at a reduced level of awareness but which still retains enough awareness to overrule the commanding entity now and then, particularly when directly addressed by the auditor. | 25.

26. A circuit is a theoretical item, described as a portion of the mind, compartmented by a postulate which is enforced by pain, acting as another person within the mind. (An even earlier definition substituted "phrase" for "postulate", but since a phrase is only a counter-effort unless accompanied by a postulate, the presence of the postulate was understood.) This definition has now been improved upon. It has been improved upon so much that the word circuit is not longer a necessary word in the vocabulary of the auditor. A circuit may now be considered an entity ("a portion of the mind... compartmented... acting as another person within the mind...") which is out of present time (under the influence of a postulate which is enforced by pain.) An entity which is out of present time. The new definition simplifies the old, clarifies it, and renders the word "circuit" obsolete. | 26.

27. Some entities are out of present time, When they take command of the organism or conflict with the entity which is in command, the postulates which are keeping them out of present time and which are present in the incidents in which they are caught are entered into the thinking of the organism. | 27.

When an entity which is psychotic, because it is out of present time, takes command of the organism, the organism becomes psychotic. The thetan retires for the duration and we say that the "I" of this individual has disappeared. | When an entity which is psychotic, because it is out of present time, takes command of the organism, the organism becomes psychotic.

28. A valence is a mimicry of another person. There is much in common between the vaudeville performer who imitates Lionel Barrymore and the individual who has assumed the identity of his deceased grandfather. The main difference is that the vaudeville performer has assumed the identity of Lionel Barrymore for a few moments, knowingly, for the purpose of entertaining an audience, and the other individual has assumed the identity of his deceased grandfather during a period of years (or even centuries) "unknowingly" for the purpose of continuing the life of his grandfather in order to prove that the overt act which he committed against his grandfather did not really happen, since grandfather is not really dead. This mimicry will be carried out by one of the individual's entities. | 28. A valence is a mimicry of another person.

29. A valence is, then, only a mimicry. An individual would no longer be said to be "out of his own valence" when his thetan was not in command, since the idea of entities relieves the word valence of double duty. (Formerly, "valence" meant both the mimicry and the entity which was doing the mimicry, a doubling which caused some confusion.) The individual does not mimic himself, he IS himself. Valence becomes purely and simply mimicry. Various of the individual's entities mimic various other persons. He shifts his valence by shifting entities. Or, if he is a vaudeville performer, he shifts valence by deciding to mimic first one person and then another. | 29. A valence is, then, only a mimicry.

30. This subject of valence, in reference to the actor, has long been of high interest to many people. Just what does an actor do when he "becomes his part"? Why do some actors walk onto the stage or before the camera, do their part well and convincingly, and then walk off and immediately drop the character which they have assumed? Why do others "throw themselves into their parts" so deeply that sometimes traces of the character which they have played stick to them ever afterwards. We say of one actor, "Jones can play any part you give him. He is a good workman." We say of another, "Elsie is a great actress. She becomes the character. She lives her part." We say of another, "Ever since Jukes played the Corsican Bandit he wears a sword, even around the house." What makes these differences? We may, perhaps, come closer to an explanation at this writing than anyone has come before. We may say that Jones assumed identities consciously, like a vaudeville performer, and casts them off as quickly. He is good at mimicry. He has his facsimiles well under control. Elsie, on the other hand, may not have her facsimiles so well under control. Her "greatness" may come from putting an entity in command which has a valence or which IS a character much like the one she is supposed to play. This entity may continue in command throughout the production, changing Elsie's personality considerably for that period. After the production, she may say to herself, "Well, I'm through with that character! Whew! What a relief! At times I really felt that I was Lucretla Borgia! And she may succeed in getting her thetan or some other entity back into command. Poor Jukes, however, has given command to some entity in order to take advantage of the personality of that entity or of some valence of which that entity is capable, and then he has been unable to get that entity out of the driver's seat. He wears a sword around the house. Many actors do this. Sometimes it is a great success. | 30. This subject of valence, in reference to the actor, has long been of high interest to many people.

39. Successful and unsuccessful self-auditing may be decided by this one factor: what is the intention toward the individual of the entity which is doing the auditing? What does this entity wish to accomplish? If it is the thetan which has learned to audit, some very good results may be obtained. But if it is some aberrated entity, who has been controlled and controlled and controlled until the only goal left for him is to control and enslave whatever organism falls into his clutches, the auditing results may be horrendous. | 39.

40. Any case which does not run easily for an auditor is most likely not under the command of the thetan. Other entities will have to be gotten out of the way before the case will run easily.

| 41. Some cases used to be called "out of valence" This meant that they were not "themselves", We would say now, of such a case, that one entity had been in command at one time, and now another entity was in command. The auditor is, perforce, auditing the entity which is now in command. If he tries to run the pre-clear through an incident which occured when the former entity was in command, he will discover that the pre-clear recalls this incident as though he were only an observer which is just what this entity was. | 41.

42. The auditor has to know which entity he is auditing in order to know what he is doing. Accuracy in knowing which entity is being audited will depend, in most cases, upon the use of an E-meter. The added view into the mind which the E-Meter gives the auditor will make it much easier to know to whom he is listening. | 42.

47. Theta is creative. It can make new things. The rule which we have all heard so many times, that imagination is merely a recombining of old experiences, does not hold, evidently. The power of theta to create extends much deeper into the MEST universe than our former educators would have had us believe, It may be possible to give some estimate of the depth of this creativity in subsequent writing. As the relationship between theta and MEST is examined, the borderline between them becomes harder to find, and theta emerges more and more as CAUSE. It begins to look as though theta may be the cause not only of the organization of MEST but also of the very existence of MEST. Even this subject is within the second echelon of knowledge. We may suppose that the question "What is the cause of theta?" lies within the third echelon. | 47. Theta is creative. It can make new things.

48. EXPERIENCE is a sort of MEST substitute for KNOWING, which is a function of theta. We have seen how some quick-thinking individuals can learn an operation so rapidly that they appear to have known it all along, while others may experienCe the same operation many times and still make mistakes in it. These differences between individuals are very great, even as we observe them in daily life. There is no reason to suppose,however, that these great differences account for more than a very narrow band of the spectrum of KNOWING. At the upper end of this spectrum, experience may bg something which is just not necessary, or is necessary to such a slight degree that it could hardly be called experience. | 48.

49. If this idea of the importance of experience is a valid one, then the value of facsimiles is also altered. The computation of courses of action by comparison of facsimiles comes under the heading of experience to a larger degree. Possible, an individual who KNOWS (who is at the upper end of the spectrum of KNOWING) would consider any facsimiles which he had bothered to keep as mere relics of something he had decided for the moment to call "past", and possibly he would not compute any courses of action from facsimiles but would merely look at present time and KNOW what course to follow. | 49.

It may be that the intellectual processes which we have come to regard as the highest possible activity of the beings which we are, admirable as these processes may seem to us, are merely aberrations and perversions of the true state of KNOWING.
