Thank you. Thank you.

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

I want to wish you a happy AD 11. Happy New Year!

Thank you, thank you.

Okay. It's about time you woke up after that horrible evening you had last night.

How are you?

Well, I have good news for you today; very, very good news for you today. We're going to talk about practically nothing but technical all afternoon: Your case and you. God help you now.

Audience: Fine!

But that's all right. You may even survive these lectures. There are cases which have been known to survive these lectures. That's right. That's right.

Well, I guess we've got a congress.

We have – we have several people who have.

Audience: Yes, yes.

Now, there's probably a lot of things I could tell you. One of the things I could tell you is that if you want to get a Professional Auditor's Certificate, you'd better enroll in the Academy this week because it is about to disappear as an Academy course. We're about to teach a Practical Scientology course which is the same as the old Professional course, but you don't get the certificate.

Have we?

After you've gone through the standard course to a course completion certificate for Practical Scientologist, you then begin to study Scientology. And when we think you are ready for it, and when we think you can run a Central Organization, and when we think you can clear cases, and when we think a lot of other things, you might get a certificate if you're nice.

Audience: Yes!

That's a change, isn't it?

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

That lets everybody have auditing in lieu of training, and they can go – oh, nobody got that joke. Please wake up!

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

A lot of people enroll in the Academy just to get processed. Got it?

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

Audience: Yes.

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

Hey, what the hell is this? An English audience?

Audience: Hello!

Now anyway, the exact line-up because of the new PE Foundation setups and the expansion of Central Organizations and a lot of other things, it isn't wise to go on teaching a Professional Auditor Course at an 8-week level because tremendous numbers of people want this course just for its information. And you will be able to enroll tremendous numbers of people in a practical Scientology course and it can be taught by any Central Organization.

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

But after this, we're going to have to be awfully choosy about auditors, believe me.

Audience: Sure, yeah.

And so an auditor who doesn't know a Central Organization would be a lost dog, and he'd have to be pulled into a Central Organization and trained and groomed and have to retake all the weeks that he – the Instructor in the Academy, you see, said, "Yes, you – you passed. You're through." And then he comes back for his certificate, you see. He's now decided – at a very small extra cost, you see, very small – he comes back and he says, "Well, I think I want to be a professional auditor."

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

All is changed. And the Instructor, the Academy Administrator goes down the list, and he says, "Well, you flunked week 2, week 5, week 7, you flunked your examination on the Axioms. Now, when you retake those, we can talk some more."

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

You get the idea? We intend to be real rough on a professional level and let lots of people know all there is to know about Scientology. That's a new policy. And after this week, it'll be in effect in Washington. It's your last chance to get a certificate easy.

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

Not trying to sell you certificates, I'm just giving you warning.

Audience: Sure. Yeah.

Now, we're getting cases off the bottom. We're scraping them from below bottom. We move them up through the negative gain stages to a point where they're at the bottom. There's a tremendous number of changes have taken place.

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

Let me start in at the beginning and tell you how auditing sets up these days.

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

There are two distinct classes of auditing. Two distinct classes.

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

For the last ten or eleven years, I'm the only one who has been able to do Class II, but that doesn't say it doesn't exist.

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

I've been able to teach a very few auditors here and there a few of the tricks of Class II auditing. Very few. But it still exists and is a class of auditing. It would turn Mr. Sigmund Freud around in his grave like a whirling dervish and paint him a bright green with envy. You can do a five-year psychoanalysis in an afternoon. That's Dianetics. Did you ever hear of it? So we exhume that from its grave and it exists again. And it had better exist because you're the first time for a long while going to be facing the raw public. You'd be surprised what happens in Central Organizations. They've all gotten down to a point where it's a big club, see? And we know everybody and we know all their withholds, and why their cases didn't advance, and who they knew and didn't know, and so on.

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

Well that's great.

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

Well, that club still exists. It's not being wiped out by a long way. It still exists, and it'll get bigger. But we're going to start handling the raw public. Raw meat.

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

They walk off the street and feel through the door, you know, and they say, "I have nightmares every night."

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

They don't say, "What's Scientology?" We just assume suddenly that we're the total monopoly in the field of psychotherapy throughout the world. We don't bother to explain to them what we're doing. We do it.

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

This gets on some Central Organization's nerves. And you want to see a Central Organization the first time it starts facing nothing but raw meat off the street.

And I said, "Yes."

They didn't know cases could be that low. You've got to be able to do a five-year psychoanalysis in an afternoon. Otherwise, you can't get the fellow to sit in the chair.

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

Today Dianetics is done with an E-Meter. You takes your E-Meter, and the pc takes his chance. You can clear up a neurosis, a psychosis, something like that, in a relatively few hours.

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

Now, in view of the fact that the target of Scientology is not a neurosis or psychosis, we've never paid much attention to this particular field. But it still exists as a class of auditing. And we mustn't forget that it does because it ends psychotherapy as an end of cycle. You think I'm kidding.

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

There are many items which aren't immediately and directly hit by Scientology auditing. In other words, you don't take the fellow's goals and immediately translate them into accomplishment the way you sometimes did in Dianetics, you know? Bang! You know?

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

You work on him, you increase his reality, you make him more and more capable of understanding and living in the real universe around him. You don't pay too much attention to what is wrong with him. You find out what is right with him and you improve that ability.

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

Well, out in the raw public, the bulk of the cases have something so wrong with them that there is no ability to improve. So that end of the angle had better be known and had better be known right well.

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

A girl comes in and she has a terrible fear of husbands, and she's so afraid of husbands that she can't even sit in the auditing chair.

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

Well, your best bet is to cure her of this neurosis because it's a neurosis. She's got a win now, and she can go on from there. It's an incidental activity, but it's quite valuable. Now, Dianetics can do that.

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

Dianetics is yesteryear, way back when, but it's still very valuable, and with what we know about the E-Meter today, it becomes extremely valuable.

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

HCO Secretary a short time ago said, down in Johannesburg, says, "Well, I don't know. There's one thing that nobody's ever got to. I have a terrible fear of snakes."

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

We were sitting in the living room of my house down there, and a couple of guys were sitting there. I didn't even use an E-Meter.

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

Ran her back down the track, found the engram necessary to resolve the case and ran the engram. Twenty minutes later, she had no further fear of snakes and hasn't had since. What's this? A twenty minute run of an engram? Did anybody blink or did they think they heard wrong?

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

You know that it takes 75 hours to run an engram. Not if you can audit. Longest I think I ever spent on an engram was 9 hours. Been very hard to teach people this. But there's a new way of running engrams. I will give you immediately and directly what it is.

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

There is an area of existence known as experience. The willingness to experience. And when an individual will not have anything further to do with something, he becomes the effect of it. Right?

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

Audience: Right.

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

The poor girl who leaves home and leaves her husband because she can't stand him anymore, thinks she will be happy. But she goes off down the road with his valence shoved into her face. She is now the total effect of him because she can't stand there anymore. In other words, she's unwilling to experience. Unwillingness to experience is the tombstone of all cases.

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

This fellow's going down the street saying, "Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak." Just about ready to run for president or something. Totally done in, and well, what do you know about this man?

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

That exact condition is what he is unwilling to experience, so he's in it. People become the total effect of those things they are unwilling to experience. The whole political grab bag of the northern hemisphere, at this particular time, is based and predicated on one thing only: They are unwilling to experience an A-bomb. So all politics, and before you know it, all personal behavior, will be colored by this one thing.

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

And people will be going around saying, "Boom! boom! boom!"

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

We used to say that which you resist you become. Well, that's another way of saying the same thing. But this is a little more thorough and a little more practical statement of it: That which you're unwilling to experience you become. There's somebody sitting back there right now in the uniform of a soldier who doesn't want to be in that uniform.

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

This, you understand, doesn't mean that everybody being what he is being has been obsessively unwilling to experience it. Do you follow that? That doesn't mean that.

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

This means that your superreactive, unthinking, unanalytical level, this condition obtains. You can always find some justification of this. You can find times when you were unwilling to be a human being. That isn't the reason you are a human being. It isn't true that all things in this universe are bad. It is true that all things that are thought bad in this universe are bad.

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

But this unwillingness to experience opens up an entire new field of the running of an engram. And it cracks Dianetics. I haven't got very much news for you in this congress. We've just ended cycle on Dianetics. Because you can run this.

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

Now, Dianetics is a blackjack psychotherapy. In the hands of a Dianetic Auditor who is willing to apply the force, a pc hasn't got a prayer.

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

Now, the pc's self-determinism may not improve. The pc may not get better as a human being, but the pc will cease to be sick or nuts. You see what can happen there?

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

The technology easily overwhelms the aberrations and psychosomatic illnesses of the case. The technology overwhelms. It doesn't necessarily make the person better, but it certainly straightens them out. Very often you will find a pc with Dianetic therapy being most recalcitrant about the whole thing. There's a fellow came into a Central Organization on a wheelchair, you know. And he was all crippled up. Arthritis, you know. And they audited him for a while, and he finally got rid of the wheelchair. A few months later, he was found on a golf course. He was there playing golf, you know. Also striking for president.

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

And a friend of his said to him, "Well, that Dianetics sure fixed you up, didn't it?"

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

"No," he said. "It didn't do a thing for me. Didn't do a single thing for me. I've still got my asthma."

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

He was cured of an incurable illness and never found out about it. And this you can ask old pros. And by George, they'll tell you. There's just case after case like this.

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

So we can assume that the technology of Dianetics can overwhelm the psychosomatics and neuroses of the individual without his finding out about it. It doesn't necessarily improve his reality or his ability, but it certainly subtracts from his beingness a lot of the things that were blocking any further progress. This is an interesting fact.

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

I don't care what else is read into it. It's just a fact. It's a matter of our experience over a long period of time.

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

Well, there's a brand-new one in the running of an engram. "What in that incident would you be willing to be?" And if you don't doodle-daddle around about it and monkey and shove tobacco cans into electric fans and do other things auditors are not supposed to do, if you just audit by the code, that incident is going to go phzzzzzt. The kick is going to come out of the incident – and rapidly.

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

Beingness can be run on relatively low level cases. Now, you could take someone who is totally spinning, and you could ask him, "Is there anything around here that you'd be willing to be?"

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

He'll find something; sugar bowl or something. And all of a sudden start coming out of his psychosis, just like that. Because all psychosis is, in terms of experience, is an unwillingness to be anything, which, of course, is a necessity to attack everything.

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

A guy's got down to zero beingness. Neurosis is a person is unwilling to be to such a degree that they can't confront even thinking about not being it. But every time it gets in any way restimulated, they go naaaooooooo. Some of you – some of you people possibly have stage fright. You wonder how I can stand up in front of a lot of people and talk to them.

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

Several ways of doing it. One is just not being here. Loud speakers do that. They never – never seem, however, to communicate with the audience. It's a mystery, you know?

I said, "Doing what?"

Another method is just be there. Another method is be willing to be somebody who is speaking to an audience. The other thing is to be willing to be an audience. There's a lot of, a lot of gradients on this. This is all there is to stage fright in terms of experience. There isn't anything else connected with it. But you can find, Dianetically, particularly with the meter, the exact moment on the whole track when the individual became convinced that he was not willing to be a speaker. He just decided it that instant. Oh, I don't know, he was a member of an audience or he was – walked in the back of a hall or something like that as the head of the Gestapo or the Secret Police of Marcab and some fellow was mouthing evolutionary activities at a mile a minute or something like that, and so they lifted their tommy gun and shot the speaker. Something like that, you know. Some kind of an overt.

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

It's always an overt against the thing they're unwilling to be. And you run this down, you find it. "Oh, no. I don't want anything to do with that incident."

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

And that's why it's a blackjack method.

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

You say, "Well, now, in the Auditor's Code we are going to run it, and the best part of – don't, no-o-o-o, you can't leave. Ha-ha. No-o-o, no." The best part of the Auditor's Code is always flatten the process. Even if you have to flatten the pc.

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

And a little while later, the person will say, "Well, I don't see anything wrong with being a speaker. I don't see anything wrong with this. Seems perfectly all right to me."

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

And if they also say to you, "But what did this incident have to do with it?" don't bother to explain. You were – you were knocking out a neurosis of some kind or another. Don't expect it to be an intelligent neurosis.

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

Now, old time psychotherapy had its tough moments. I imagine the toughest part of it was sitting there all those hours not listening. But it must have been pretty hard to know they really weren't helping anybody. There must have been kind of a spinny situation.

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

Now, in view of the fact that we have the psychologists of this country now maintaining that IQ can be changed (ha-ha-ha-ha); we've got the medical doctor maintaining there is such a thing as prenatal and birth engrams; we have the psycho – the psycho-sologists maintaining IQ and personality can be changed, and so forth; and the next thing you know, we'll have them maintaining that the best thing that people can do is go to the Central Organization of Scientology.

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

But this is quite important, actually as an announcement because it isn't fair to suddenly begin clearing people with Scientology, with purely Scientology techniques, without having ended cycle on Dianetics.

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

Dianetics mustn't sit there as a failure, and it doesn't sit there as a failure now. But I will tell you that it takes forceful auditing, it takes very clever auditing. It takes very clever E-Metering in order to do it. And it's practically auditing with a blackjack sometimes. You find yourself sitting on the pc's chest saying, "Go through it once more/" That's about the way it has to be sometimes.

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

I'll give you an idea. Here's a difference between these two subjects. Anatomy properly belongs to Dianetics, which discovered most of it.

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

But here's a – here's a – here's a large difference. We have a husband and a wife who been feuding. I know this sounds unreasonable to you, that a husband and a wife could ever have any differences.

He said, "What's this?"

But let's say hypothetically that they have been feuding. Now here's the proper, exact, long-term and best way to handle it Scientologically.

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

We do a Marriage Co-audit. We bring them both in the same room, the auditor sits down with both of them present and runs O/W, Overt-Withhold on the wife about the husband while he sits there and takes it. And then you flip it, and run O/W on the husband about the wife. "What have you done to her?" "What have you withheld from her?" And clean them both up so they got no secrets no more, of no kind, no how. We get that tone arm standing there and the needle quiet with sensitivity at 16.

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

That marriage will go along just fine. I can guarantee it. That's a Marriage Co-audit, and the best way to handle one.

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

Now, the next thing I'd like to bring to your attention is that perhaps the wife is always mad at the husband and he can't figure out how or why or something of the sort. And it seems to be a situation out of gear just as it would be in a Scientological auditing, see. But Dianetically, you would handle quite a different way, with an engram sort of thing. Now get this trick. This is a very important trick. It took me a long time to find this trick, and it's so simple, it's easily forgotten. We put the husband on the meter, and we say, "When did you decide to get even with your wife?" And we run it back down to the exact moment in time and we will find a totally occluded incident which may come up as a secondary.

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

And we take the wife, and we find "When did you decide to get even with your husband?" and we run the secondary out of him. And we produce a found – profound, rapid change, if we can do it.

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

Now, this is the – this is the difference between these two subjects. There is a difference. There are two subjects. One, we clip it out with a secondary and the other, we unburden it with 0/W.

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

You say it'll eventually both amount to the same thing. Well, I'm not so sure that it'll both amount to the same thing. Because I had a pc who had been run on O/W on her husband a considerable length of time and spotted her on an E-Meter because I knew it wasn't getting right. It just wasn't adjusting properly and spotted it on an E-Meter on "When did you decide to get even with your husband," found an incident she didn't remember, a person she didn't remember, and circumstances that she had never had in sight. She was just totally unwilling to be any part of that whole thing.

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

Now, it wasn't that O/W didn't get it. O/W would have gotten it eventually, but maybe it would have been flat on a longer run. And of course, the case would have been flatter and the case would have been in more satisfactory condition, perhaps, on the Scientological side of the thing, but maybe you didn't have time for all that.

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

Well, facing the raw meat of the public, you'd take such a person, put him on the E-Meter, and you'd say, "When did you decide to get even with your husband?"

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

She'd say, "I'm having an awful, lousy time. My husband beats me every night, and he kicks me, and he throws me out of bed, and he keeps throwing me out of the window, and throwing my clothes out the window after me, and cutting all of my shoes up with scissors, and so forth."

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

And you ask the husband, "Did you ever lay a hand on her?"

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

And he says, "Well, as a matter of fact I did. When we were first married, I carried her across the doorstep."

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

This data doesn't agree. She's trying to make him guilty. Now, please note, however, that you're dealing with the stuff of neurosis, not just an ordinary disagreement. She's nuts.

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

One of the best ways you can get this thing is locate the hidden incident and run it out.

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

Now, how would you get rid of this incident. Well, just make her go through it a few times with old-time Dianetics would get rid of it if it's a light secondary. It wouldn't take you too long to do that.

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

But that's a fast patch-up. It's good. It'll stay that way. Probably wouldn't make her any better woman, but it'd make her nicer to her husband. Get the difference?

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

Now, in Scientology you'd straighten this girl out on the sane level, and she would eventually be able to be nice to husbands. Not nice to Joe, particularly, or necessarily. You'd straighten her out on the subject of husbands.

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

You take this thing, this fear of snakes that Scientology could handle and would handle. All you'd have to do is run Help in various ways on a snake, and it'd handle this thing eventually. Perfectly well, too.

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

But let's say a person is real batty on the subject of snakes, and say, "Just get the idea of a snake," and they start going, "nnnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn." Even their hands remind them of one. Well, if they're neurotic, you're not going to be able to get them to sit still to run anything very much, and it won't bite or anything else. You won't get their attention on it.

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

You just have to overwhump them. Say, "All right. What – what did you do with the snake – to a snake, when?"

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

"Oh, I never did anything to a snake."

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

"What's the date of that? and so forth, at such and such a time, period, place, so on." Locate it exactly.

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

All of a sudden, willy-nilly, they're staring at the engram.

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

"All right. What part of that incident would you be willing to be?"

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

"Oh, not the snake."

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

"Well, is there any part of the incident you'd be willing to be?"

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

"Well, I'd be willing to be that rock down there."

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

And here we go. We just start picking it out. All of a sudden the instant changes. Moves forward. Bang! Moves through a couple of times automatically, and we don't have a neurosis on the subject of snakes anymore."

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

Dianetics is psychotherapy. It's an end cycle on psychotherapy. In old time Dianetics, I've seen somebody auditing out of Book One, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, rescue somebody out of an insane asylum, where they had been incarcerated as hopelessly insane for many years. Stand them up against the wall in the corridor and run them through engrams until they were sane.

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

Of course, running through the engram is a token willingness to be, and that's why engram running works: willing to be in the situation again. But it really might take some strong arm on the part of the auditor to get them near the situation. It might register on the meter, but not on the pc's memory.

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

So we're dealing here, actually, with different approaches entirely. And in auditors' hands, I don't think Dianetics will clear anybody. I can clear people with Dianetics; have never been able to teach anybody to clear with Dianetics. Some people have cleared people with Dianetics, but I'm talking about broad clearing that would anywhere near approximate any percentage of the cases at all.

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

Well, you'd be able to get anyone here and there and clear them, and so forth. You have to look into Scientology for the improvement of IQ and ability. You can clear them with Scientology. It's relatively easy to do today.

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

What'll be taught on the 22nd American rather easily clears people. It's complicated. The processes are complicated, but the clearing is well assured.

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

I don't know how long clearing takes these days, probably 250 hours, something like this. Most cases. I haven't got any timing on the thing to amount to anything. There's a lot to know about clearing in Scientology.

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

The goal of Dianetics was clearing. Well, I've cleared people in Dianetics, but I've not been able to teach auditors to do it. But I have taught auditors now to clear with Scientology. So that's a successful field. And quite an accomplishment.

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

We have done the impossible. You know, there's always been some savant, Messiah, wise man, soothsayer, thunderbolt that came out of a Zeus, full armed or something, that could always come down with a bunch of hocus-pocus of some kind or another and make people into angels or something. This was always – there's always been people like this around.

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

And it never did anybody any good that I've ever been able to find out.

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

The only possible way you could do anything for man would be to teach man to do something for man. And that's been my solution, right or wrong, and that's the way I worked on it, and that's the direction I have worked.

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

And it's come true. It's worked out.

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

You should realize, however, that in the process of working all this out that there's been a terrific liability. All the way along the line there has been a heavy liability. Very heavy.

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

You cannot partially solve the riddle of the human mind. You might partially solve it, but you'd better not. You just better not.

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

This is something that will not stand up to partial solution. Partial solution is a sure method of going out the bottom fast. You can't have part of the answers to the human mind any more than you can take a hand grenade and pull its pin and take your hand off the safety catch, and sit there and look at it. You get your head blown off. This is dynamite. This is real dynamite.

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

I have, to some degree, known what I've been up against under this line. The goal was set to make other people be able to help other people. That's all.

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

It couldn't be partially solved. It would only be partially solved if I could help other people. That's a partial solution, isn't it. What I could do wouldn't matter because someday I'll get bored or something like that and kick off.

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

Well, what – what's this done for anybody? Put everybody at effect, that's what. Totally at effect.

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

Supposing you had it all solved except the overt-motivator sequence.

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

Well, supposing that was missing. The fact that what you do to others is what you get kicked in the teeth with. Your failures, rather, on others visit home unto you. Nobody'd ever be able to explain why everybody spun in when anybody tried to help anybody. They'd have to decide then that helping people was dangerous. And that would end the whole action, wouldn't it.

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

Or supposing – supposing you knew all about the human mind except the engram. Suppose you didn't know anything about engrams, but you knew everything else. That was the state psychology was in. You know, they couldn't explain anything. Psychiatry was in that state.

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

They'd walk into their institutions. They'd have to list thousands of types of cases. They finally just stopped classifying and said they're all schizophrenics, except some of them: they're paranoid schizophrenics. They'd have had to throw their classification away. Otherwise, every case was a different class. There are only two types of psychotics. One is a computing and the other is a dramatizing.

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

The computing psychotic is stuck in a circuit. The dramatizing psychotic is running endlessly through an engram.

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

And you go down to an institution. If you know Dianetics – you go into an institution – you know exactly what any patient there is doing. It's an open book. All they're doing is dramatizing their engrams. They're totally in, that's all. Or they're dramatizing a circuit.

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

Well, supposing you didn't know anything about engrams, and there would be the greatest wonder here. You'd be stuck in the mystery of it all. Supposing you knew all about the human mind except thetans. You knew nothing about thetans.

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

Well, just look at it. I mean if you could imagine a subject which would know all about the human mind but nothing about the actual being himself.

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

Look at how its practitioners and followers would spin in. They would think it was all being done by the brain. And they'd spin in. It'd stick them, but good, because there'd be this missing mystery.

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

Furthermore, there'd be absolutely no hope, and also there'd be no explanation for how anybody got that way because the bulk of aberration is on the whole track. It's not the present lifetime.

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

Oh, you think you've been bad in the present lifetime. Ha-ha-ha, waa, oh-ho. Last time I met you in Rome; oh, mo. What you were doing then. Whew. Well, I won't tell it out in public here.

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

If you don't know anything about the life unit, you would know nothing about life. And a thetan is a life unit.

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

I'm just pointing out to you that if we omitted various parts of the whole pattern, we'd wind up nowhere and almost be worse than never having studied it. Almost. And traditionally people who study in this subject wind up utterly mad.

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

Now, the subject of the human mind is known to be a very dangerous subject. One of the first things you were told probably when you got into Dianetics or Scientology was that you should leave your mind alone. Somebody certainly told you that.

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

Well, it's based on the wisdom of the fact that if you don't know all there is to know about the mind, you'd better not know anything about it at all. You'd just better vegetabalize.

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

Now, there are several reasons why you ought to be trained, not just processed. There are several reasons why you ought to be trained. One is it is better to help than be helped. Auditors are almost going Clear these days auditing people. They developed a profound contempt for the aberrations of mankind. They have become much less important and those things which become less important tend to fade away.

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

But there's other reasons why: is a partial knowledge of the subject isn't good enough. You've got to have an experiential knowledge.

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

Unless you're able to be an auditor, how can you be audited. You're unwilling to experience or unable to experience being an auditor because there's wide gaps about it all. You got the idea?

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

That's the reason why we're shifting over to a practical Scientology course which is the same, really, as the old professional course. An individual will wind up at the other end, not being a professional, nobody expects him to be a professional, but he will know all about it and be able to do it. And you'll find out he makes tremendously higher gains. That isn't just a come-on. It's just good sense.

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

Furthermore, somebody's IQ goes up to 176. Well, this is all okay. The IQ goes to 176, but that's a potential knowingness. Does he know anything with that 176? Got the idea? You give him something to know with the 176.

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

The whole of psychotherapy has been most dangerous to the practitioner in partial knowledge. Not in Dianetics or Scientology; we've always been a few thousand yards ahead of the lion. We have. We're able to get results, and fortunately, because we're cohesed, staying together and weren't being dictated to – don't think people haven't tried to dictate as to what we were supposed to research and what we were supposed to do and what we were not supposed to do. People have tried this very hard.

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

Amongst the sinners are the American Psychiatric Association. They've tried to tell us what we could do and what we couldn't do. These poor boobs can't do anything. These guys were fighting the only fellows who will eventually pull them out of the soup because they're never going to get out of the soup on their own. And one of these days, why, you may have a psychiatrist on your hands.

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

Well, that'll be rough, man. That'll be a rough case because he's done the adventurous thing of entering the field of psychotherapy without knowing any of the answers and then has punished psychotics because he doesn't know anything about the overt-motivator sequence.

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

He electric shocks and operates and abuses and renders dead and non compos mentis and things – psychotic individuals. Oh, wow! Poor guys. Don't cheer, boys. The poor devils are going nuts because they're going to flip into that valence. And the whole subject has the reputation of putting its practitioners into asylums.

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

Nurses, attendants and psychiatrists in institutions – find all too great a percentage wind up in their own institutions. I'm not just talking to – I'm not even fighting this organization. I'm just telling you factually that they are lucky that we exist. And yet they are the last ones to give us a break.

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

And yet if they ever pull out of it, it'll be because of us. A typical psychotic reaction. To cut to pieces only those who would help them.

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

But if you know the subject and you know the subject well, you, of course, know the mind, and you have experiential data on the subject of the mind and it doesn't baffle you anymore. And of course, just on that basis alone, you become more able.

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

There's all sorts of auditors around who, auditing a pc, have practically spun themselves in. They've had a dozen failures on the same pc, you know, consecutively. Auditing the pc when they are tired. Auditing the pc under the various conditions that it'd be absolutely, completely certain that the auditor would wind up almost spun in. Well, how is it that they don't? Because they don't. Psychiatrists do. But auditors don't. They wake up the next morning and it all goes out of restim. That's because they understand enough about it not to be afraid of it.

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

They may think for a day or two and wonder why – "Why did I – what was it all about?" That would just be the missing data that they had about the thing. Then they come out of it.

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

But knowing enough about it, they are no longer afraid of it and so are no longer resisting it. If you can solve or resolve or as-is, more importantly, psychosis and neurosis, then let me assure you that you don't mind being it.

So here you are.

Of course, you've got the question of being it perpetually. Well, that's a conditional beingness; adds the illusion of time. If you get the idea of being a psychotic perpetually, however, of course it as-ises being a psychotic perpetually.

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

The universe can't win, that's all. Not with us around.

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

So here is the, here is the breadth of what we're doing today. We have two distinct spheres of action.

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

Many of the old old-timers are pretty slippy with old Dianetics. They can do some weird things with Dianetics. Well, if they add that skill to good skill with an E-Meter and follow the meter and use the type of process of "What part of that incident would you be willing to be?" this type of shortcut auditing, they all of a sudden find that this becomes very simple, and they can knock out neuroses or little psychotic bugs out of a case with great rapidity. "What compulsion, obsessions do you have? What are you most afraid of?" Make a list of these things, and just knock them out. And then go on with auditing with Scientology. This would be an interesting method of proceeding. Got the idea?

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

What they're liable to do, however, is try to finish a case with Dianetics. Yeah, they would utterly finish a case being neurotic and psychotic. And what would they have left? A humanoid. I beg your pardon. I apologize. There was probably two or three in the audience.

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

But the recognition of the spheres of knowledge of existence and what those things are, that all by itself tends to drop the mystery out of it all and permits one to more closely experience existence.

Thank you.

Now, let's take some fellow who's been reading space opera. I know. I like to read space opera. I've written a lot of it. As a matter of fact, they don't write it anymore.

But this fellow just can't seem to keep his nose out of space opera, and he said, "Gee! I'd like to do that sometime in the future when this civilization – when we get really geared up and when we really get into the future, and when we really have space ships, and when we really, and…" All this time he has this horrible burning sensation on the end of his nose, you know? And he can't quite account for that, but he's into space opera, but he's not in space opera, but he likes to read it, but it has a horrible effect on him, and-and-well, the first time he can enjoy space opera is when he finds out he's been a rocket jockey for the last 18 dozen lives.

No wonder he gets a burning nose. One of the favorite skills he had back in the early days of one of the space societies was shooting off doll's noses. He didn't like to hurt them. He just singed their noses, you know. Fast draw. You wonder why all these guys are fixated on western movies. Western movie is mostly a substitute for space opera if you only knew it.

It's space opera that's full of the fast draw and shoot them dead. Listen, human bodies are not bulletproof. I don't know if you've ever experienced that fact or not. Probably not in this lifetime, but you do have some evidence to this effect. If somebody stood up and pointed a gun at you, something in you would tell you that it would make a hole in you. Well, I wonder how you learned that. Not by watching western movies because they all die very cleanly and very calmly, mostly, except when they are being filmed with realism. Then they splatter a little blood on the fellow's shirt, you know, make him cough twice.

Factually speaking, it takes a doll, if you please, a nonhumanoid body to be able to stand up to firearms of that character. There isn't any reason you should be killed dead just because you're shot. There isn't any real reason why it should hurt very badly.

You're afraid right now of travelling down an icy, slippery road at 110 miles an hour. You'd say that'd be a bum show. Why?

If you were in a doll body: So it plows into the concrete abutment, and it dents up your new shirt. Next time you think of it back at the base while you're over to the armor, and you say, "Hey, pound out my chest, would you? That's right. Pound it up, smooth it up a little bit. The enamel's cracked there too. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. That's better. That's better." And you haven't learned not to go 110 miles an hour on icy roads. Because there's no reason to learn it.

'Tisn't a particularly dangerous activity. And the Marcab Confederacy within the last 200 thousand years, racing cars went 275 miles an hour and were turbine driven. Everybody thinks a racing car should sound like a Marcab racing car. Just ask somebody how should a racing car sound.

Well, they don't say, "brrrrrrrrrrr" like an Earth racing car. They say "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." That's a Marcab racing car. They don't have any here on Earth.

Everybody knows how it is. I wonder why they know this so well.

Well, they were using meat bodies on some of that stuff, and boy, did they get messed up. Meat bodies. Imagine driving in racing cars like that. It practically cured everybody of driving, so nobody on Earth can drive.

But I don't want to talk about past track because some amongst us are in the innocent state of thinking they have lived only once and are right here. But, I will give those who have been annoyed by people who sneered – you know, how a guy can cover up 99 and 9999999 percent of his experience and say it never existed, and then be happy thereafter, I wouldn't know. But people seem to be trying this. And you'll find many bad-off cases are very afraid of going into the backtrack or are trying desperately to do so but can't, they tell you.

Well, there's an HAS Co-audit process to be released shortly which takes care of this. It's an old one. An old process.

Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting. Run long enough, the fellow's memory keeps improving, his memory keeps improving, his memory keeps improving, and his memory…

"Spiders' bodies are very hard to move, aren't they? Well, I never had anything like that!"

"Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting."

"Oh, well, that I ever had a spider's body."

That'll turn on your backtrack. I know of only one case that couldn't run it. And he kept answering it this way:

"Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting."

And he'd say, "Well, I wouldn't mind forgetting an appointment with somebody I didn't – well, I don't know. I don't know. I probably ought to remember that."

He kept going on this way for some time. We caught him about a year later and audited him again. By this time he could run it. We must have done something else to him. Well, for a long time he couldn't run it. But most cases can run this, and with great benefit.

You want to improve your memory? Get it run. That turns on your whole track and makes life much less mysterious.

It's like Suzie. The Director of Security and I'd take her out in back of the house up against the hill, and he gives her a gun, which is a model of an old western gat – peacemaker – and we show her how to – we show her how to load the thing. He shows her how to load it rather. And so on, standing there. "Supposed to shoot that box over there, see?"

Well, Suzie is a nice, delicate, little feminine girl. You know Mary Sue. And you don't expect a nice, delicate, little feminine girl, even if she is from Galveston or Houston or something, you don't expect her to pick the thing up and fan it six times.

We tried to get her to shoot it some other way, but she couldn't hit anything. But fanning it! Yeah, we didn't bother to teach her much more about guns. But it's a terrible mystery to a guy finding he has memories, odd memories, odd nightmares, odd skills, and if he's never – doesn't know anything about a thetan or ever having been around except in this life, then he has no accounting for it, and he's really stuck in the mystery of it all, isn't he?

Well, anyway, today your case is pretty well taped. One of the best ways to tape your case is by being able to experience taping cases. I'll give it to you frankly.

You can't sit and be a pc forever. You can't be the effect of anything forever. You got to reverse that line sometime or another. Well, it's pretty easy to do.

Now, the world is far too accustomed to these fellows who march forth upon the stage of affairs and magically wave the magic wand, and drive thousands of swine out of pcs or something, and all at a, you know, hocus-pocus, prestidigitosis, you have no leprosis.

The world has been pretty well indoctrinated into this type of individual and has been convinced that it is some peculiar thing, some long spark that makes it possible for them to do this. And that it is a beingness of such magnitude that they would never possibly be able to approximate it because it is native in that individual and not in themselves.

You'll find that this mechanism has been done time after time after time on the whole track.

Now, the only thing that makes it impossible for you to do this sort of thing is you just don't know how, that's all. And you just might as well get over the idea that you have to be a Messiah. I'm just a guy and appeared at the right crossroads at the right time – he lied – and put the thing together.

But the point is, the knowledge is there, the knowledge isn't something I dreamed up, the knowledge is residual in you, or you wouldn't even be able to understand it. The knowledge is yours as much as mine. You should be able to know how to use that knowledge and you should be able to know all about that knowledge, and stop respecting it as something superspecial because it's just the woof and warp of which life is made.

And if you don't understand all sides of it, you won't get anyplace.

Most Scientologists have as their only nightmare, kicking off and not being able to remember Scientology. That would be a rough one. The easiest way to do that is just "something you wouldn't mind forgetting." Get the forgetter off – you see, people are obsessively remembering all the time and they never decide to forget things, really. It's all on automatic. Take it off automatic and you remember all the data. But I can already assure you that people when they back out of their heads, when they've been trained, they don't forget it.

They think of their responsibilities and they think of this and they think of that and when they're back there about eight feet, they find they're still stuck on something, so they audit the beam off and depart.

And then they get overwhelmed and conscience-stricken about it all and come back and pick up the mock-up. And they'll tell me about it occasionally. "Well, I almost dropped the mock-up the other day, but I got to thinking what would you do for a D of P," or something like that, you know. Brings them back, but they do fly out of their heads knowing all about it, providing they know all about it.

And I'll assure you of something. You can't remember something you don't know anything about. It's pretty hard to do.

Now the whole of cases today has only one hole in it, and that is because of me. I know I don't have very much to do. I'm very lazy. And it's been very remiss of me not to get it all down in book form right up to date, ss-bang. I haven't been able to do that.

The only thing I can do is put it on tapes and teach it in some courses. And one of these days, when you get good enough to carry your share of the load, why, then I can write it all down for the future.

So help me out, will you?
