Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

I come bringing goddesses.

Now, once upon a time there was a mystery. And it consisted of what is the pc thinking about? What was he thinking about? Was he doing the audit­ing command? What was wrong with him? He'd get all tired out going in and out of his head, try and look and the great, great, great, great grandfather of this was invented. Great great grandfather. Cheer up! There you are. It's reading her. Good. Now ... Oh, you think it wasn't? There it is. All right. Well, let's see if we can make it read him. He's off the meter. What are you doing in a female valence?

Last time I looked it was November the 16th. And the last time I looked it was the 1st Melbourne ACC. Of course, things might have changed the last hour or two. Making OTs has its liabilities; time shifts sometimes.

This E-Meter probably makes auditing possible. It certainly makes clearing possible. And I don't know how you'd go about clearing somebody without an E-Meter today. I don't know how you would go about it.

They get to a point where they get very cocky and turn the clocks back or something.

Let's look at this first phenomenon. Pc's reading up here about 5.0 on the tone arm. Pc's reading 5.0 on the tone arm. You're going to audit this pc? Oh, no you're not! You can't audit this pc! This pc is too fixated on PT prob­lems, ARC breaks and overt acts that are current, right now. Now have you all learned that this far?

I've been talking to you about the goddess Kali. And I'm going to show her to you. Here's the platform she stands on which is a dead man sur­rounded by poisonous snakes. See that? It's a dead man and he's lying there. And he goes like this, and then the goddess herself, oddly enough — this is a fairly good one — the goddess herself representing sudden death, goes like that.

Audience: Yes.

And there's the goddess Kali, as worshiped at this moment in British India in a city founded by the British and doubtlessly very civilized by them. But after three hundred years they still have as their chief festival, the god­dess Kali. There she is with dead men's heads! A dead man's head. Snakes. Usually as represented in a temple, why, there will be jackals and evil demons and so forth standing around about the goddess. And there she is of course with man prostrate.

Well, we used to tell auditors, "Find the PT problem and flatten it, get off the ARC breaks." Well, this right here, tone arm — tells you they exist and just by bringing this back at least, at least to the Clear reading for the pc — not even fascinated with bringing it any further down — but at least bringing it back to the Clear reading for the sex of the pc (3.0 for male, 2.0 for female), you're pretty sure you've got the PTPs and the ARC breaks off the case. You got that?

The funny thing about this is ages and ages ago reputedly, why, she gave a hand to somebody or other ... (Hm, I wonder if there isn't another piece of this goddess in there. Apparently is, probably a head missing in there some-place. A head in this hand.)

Audience: Yes.

She gave somebody a hand during a revolution or something reputedly, the Divine Krishna or something. And he gave her afterwards the right to kill any men, or any man, or to destroy anything and everybody. And of course, the Indian now explains to you, "Well, it's just the goddess and actu­ally that's a version of the Divine Earth Mother and ..."

And then auditing can happen. Not to do this is a disobedience of the Auditor's Code. Stay in two-way communication with the pc. You're not going to be in two-way communication with somebody that's got private problems he's not talking to you about. You're not going to be in two-way communica­tion with a pc that's got a whole bunch of ARC breaks with you as the audi­tor. And much more vitally, which is a brand-new point on the research line, only about a year old, and only just now being widely released to you, is that a pc with overt acts he knows about on any dynamic is not in two-way com­munication with his auditor. And there is no process known to man that will bite on such a pc and clear him. Now get that!

That's fine except I know more about his mythology than he does. Which is not unusual.

Now this imposes a brand-new responsibility on you as an auditor. Clause nine of a Code an [of a] Scientologist says not to impart the secrets of my preclear. Now, of course that means the personal secrets of the pc are invio­late to the auditor until the pc doesn't give a damn who you tell. And that happens awfully fast in Scientology. That's very fortunate because that doesn't bottle us up with eighteen billion secrets. You understand?

Worship of destruction. Now, simultaneously, of course, the basic worship of India is sexual creation. And you can't walk anywhere in India without seeing sexual symbols all over the place and so forth. They are busy worship­ing that and this is their principal goddess amongst the people. Isn't that interesting?

We ask him after a while "You know that affair you had in Austin. How about that? Still a secret?"

This, many years ago, before they started downhill too badly — many, many centuries ago — was only the goddess of the thuggee, who as a murderer and a thief used to gather in bands along the principal roadways of India and guide a caravan to a nice, quiet place and then suddenly jump upon them in the middle of the night, kill everybody in the caravan. They even had ways of slitting the stomach so it wouldn't gather gases, and breaking the bones in a peculiar way, and then they'd dump them in a pit somewhere near the road-way, and they would simply disappear.

"Oh-ho-ho, nonsense," you know.

Then there was a huge market and the thugs took all of these stolen goods to this market and once a year would go down there and get back their share of the proceeds and so forth.

We ask this girl, "Your husband know yet?"

Now, creation being their basic worship, sexual symbols and so forth, creation in merely a body form, responding at once with the destruction of their principal goddess worship was Kali. Interesting, huh?

And she says, "Well, yes, yeah. What about it?"

A country that has just jammed tight on the cycle of action. Now, it would be as much as anybody was worth to create anything in India. See?

"Oh," you say, "okay."

All you would have to say is, "This is an original painting" and off with your head. Get the idea? These two things are tight, man. Tight.

You'll find out that it's only somebody that's pretty doggoned aberrated that is holding them to their bosom and will never afterwards permit any-body to say anything about it. They're not getting Clear.

Of course, the old John Company was fairly well — well understood by the British. The old John Company was very well understood. The British under-stood it to be a bunch of robbers and thieves that are keeping a whole coun­try enslaved and they thought this was terrible and it ceased to exist back in the middle of the nineteenth century. It was the original white lord and mas­ter of India, and it took over, of course, from the Mongols or the Moguls which were left there from Tamerlane's invasion, and it was just a private company, as you know, and they took the place over and all they were inter­ested in was, as an American would say today, "a quick buck." They were interested in a quick buck. And actually they were pretty well understood by the Indian. The Indian knew what they were all about. They simply robbed everything they could get their hands on.

Look, I know what sin is. I've run across very few pcs that ever commit­ted a sin. These little, two-bit, half-hearted transgressions that most of them are totally hung up on, you can't even get your teeth into. You know, they just aren't important to anybody but the pc.

Now, probably if any of you were part of the old John Company, you'd probably get up and say, "We stood for good order and discipline and we only slept with the Memsahibs and white women were all imported and we were pure and honorable and just and noble and so forth."

A pc is so starved for social acceptance, so frightened of loss of two-way communication with his or her fellows that they withhold these transgressions so thoroughly that they knock themselves out of two-way communication — right out of it. Because they don't want to be knocked out of two-way communication they knock themselves out of two-way communication.

That may well be but the history of the company was sufficiently rapa­cious it actually kept it under control — kept India under control for the Brit­ish for — well, it continued the original seventeenth-century conquests and it had almost a total monopoly for over a century.

A hundred random pcs, stacked up in a row, haven't enough present life-time sin to make a good pornographic piece of literature. That's right!

When the Crown took over, the Crown said, "Justice." And the Crown said, "Better facilities." It said, "Less disease." It said, "Lower taxation."

Most of the sin is on the back track. And they can talk about that because, fortunately, the society still has a feeling that a death pays the pen­alty. Still believes this, see. Everybody else believes this, too. So that they get their past lives and go crazy.

The Indian couldn't understand this, so destroyed the British rule of India. Because here was what the Indian worshiped: destruction.

But, the point I'm making here is that given this lifetime, the number of dread, dark secrets that you drag out of a pc, which must never, never, never be told anybody, anybody — honest, you're just going to sit there and go, "Ho-hum."

Of course, how — what better destruction could there be than a rapacious tax gatherer and somebody who didn't care how filthy the drains were, how much disease was rampant.

"Well, there was this little boy in the neighborhood. I hate to have to tell you this. I hate to." (Oh, so what!)

Well, you think that's all off the subject of Scientology, don't you? Audience: No.

"Well, when I was a little girl, I was in a variety store, I stole a balloon."

Well, it's basically this close in: is, there goes white civilization. And the eighty-thousand people who sleep every night without covers over their heads in the streets of Calcutta are the result of the combined aberrations of a race that got to a point where it could no longer produce without producing chaos. Where individual life and that sort of thing became almost worthless.

"One day, the neighbors let me take care of their baby and I spanked him. I did. I probably ruined his life. It proves it because twenty-three years later, he broke his leg."

And although you're told the Indian is now pulling out of it, you're told this mainly by American and British missions, and so forth, that gather their contributions from that propaganda.

Aw! Modern man doesn't know what sin is. That's right. I'm not asking for more sin. I'm just warning you what kind of balderdash you're going to pull this needle down with. See? You're going to pull this tone arm down with some of the darnedest things that are secrets.

I don't believe they're pulling out of it. I believe they were let down. I never am supposed to make political comments particularly, but the few I do make — I see that they might have had a chance with a very, very strong European hand. They might have had a chance. But I don't think they've got much of a chance now. They are simply going to lie there and be eaten up by the commie. The commie will come in and eat him up and the commie has already started, he has already started feeling out their borders. Communist China is already making the little push in. And the roads followed by Tamer-lane will be followed again, and there will be more starvation and death and misery and suffering in India than before. And that is the downward spiral.

But, it imposes a responsibility on you. Amongst auditors it is very, very difficult to keep a secret. Scientologists do talk to Scientologists. All too much. All too much. They kind of consider it in the family, and so forth, and that makes it all right.

And what you're looking at when you look at India is the future of Eng­land, the future of America and for that matter, the future of Australia.

Well, be polite. After you've got the processes flat and so forth, just ask the guy, "Is it all right if I mention your case?" And if you've flattened the process, a hundred and ten times out of a hundred, he'll say, "Oh, yeah, that. Yeah, oh sure. Yeah. Wonder why I was so worried about that?" Well, he was so worried about that because he was nuts! Let's be factual.

Unless somebody picks up this spiral when it can be picked up, the next step down is the Messiah age. Where everybody in a wonderful mystic spin goes around reading minds and futures and nobody can confront any MEST.

Now, only here and there is there a secret imparted to bring this tone arm down which would actually cause the person to be imprisoned or severely injured if it were known. Well, I'll tell you, frankly, I'm going to expect you to get so clever at pulling down the tone arm that nobody is safe with you on the other end of the meter! You understand? I'm going to ask you to get that clever.

Now, it's that cycle of action which is indicative of a country's health, the condition of that cycle of action. How much destruction is posed against what creation? And if you can answer that one question about any country, you can tell practically everything else you want to know about that country, promptly. And when these two things are almost identical, hah, of course they've had it. Now, it's very easy to discuss the third dynamic. You can get a broad look at the third dynamic. It's not so easy to look at the individual, the individual person. But as things happen on the third dynamic, so they hap-pen in the individual.

At the same time, although the bulk of these — just chaff and a breath in the wind ... Oh, for instance, marriage would be better off if they both talk. As a matter of fact, this is such a truth that, as a little boy I remember standing in a motion picture, silent picture theater, at the back — I was leav­ing; they'd already shown the serial, you know, and everybody was being killed in the serial, that was all I was interested in, and they were showing this — this horribly gruesome, long drawn out story of a couple who were hav­ing trouble with each other. I remember standing in the back of the theater looking back at this thing, and so forth, (I think I must have been all of about five, you know) and saying, "Aw, why don't they talk. Just why don't they talk to each other, you know. What a pipe. What a couple of saps, you know." And went on my way. Very fundamental truth.

He starts out, he is perfectly capable of very broad, very good produc­tion. He can produce! He can make things. He can create things. Very early on the track he could create bodies just like that, bang! There weren't — wasn't any machinery in the bodies, didn't need any.

They're keeping dread secrets from each other to this degree: that they come to hate each other. And their total hatred of each other is based upon their total overts.

All right. Goes on to a point of where the bodies that are created inevi­tably die. Well, that sounds like a very funny mechanism. It's already hap­pened that he's obsessively creating if a body goes through a cycle to destruction. Because all destruction is, is a continuous creation which is capped or surrounded by a new creation which mishmashes it.

Somebody starts hating you — casewise, you'd better look at what you did to them, but lifewise, you'd better figure out what they did to you because that's the only thing that can cause them to be estranged. Got that? We hate those we have done things to. Got it? It's just as simple as that.

In other words, there sits a decaying temple. We lob some six-inch shells into it and it becomes rubble. But something is still creating a temple, don't you see? The rubble is still there, only it's been overcreated. Don't you see?

And you find some little girl hating her mother. Yeah, maybe her moth­er's an old harridan — it's all explained, you've got it all figured out, it's so obvious why she should hate her mother. No! It's not obvious at all! You could run out Mother ad nauseam without ever changing the child's feeling to Mother. You mean to say a child cannot cope with a rowing, mean, ornery mother? See? Child can cope with it. What you've got to do is find out what the child did to Mother. I know it sounds extreme but all of a sudden the child looks at Mama and sees Mama for what Mama is and says, "Well, that's my mama!" Got the idea?

Now, without the first creation being removed the destruction remains. You've got to get rid of the first creation. Therefore, if you want to treat a preclear rough like I'm treating some of them rough because I'm not bother­ing to take it easy on them; they scream, and throw down cans and so on. You just process "create," and create carries all the way through the cycle of action.

And you see a mother hating the child, don't go looking at how tumultu­ous and difficult this child is. Look at what Mama did to the child. You'll find all sorts of things: didn't want it, you see, and all the time it was coming, didn't want it and hoped to get rid of it, you know; thought mean thoughts about it; wanted a boy and got a girl or wanted a girl and got a boy, you know; and winds up chop, chop, chop, chop. If you were to say, "Mama, what have you done to that child?" "Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I've not done any-thing to the child, at all."

The cycle of action: create-survive-destroy is actually composed of create, create-create-create — continuous creation, and then a superimposed creation which brings about a destruction. Only it's not a destruction at all. The pieces are still there.

"What have you done to your husband?" You know.

Now, to get rid of the rubble you'd have to get this obsessive creation off the line because the only reason the rubble can stay there at all is because it's based on a prior creation.

"Nothing."

And as I have told you before, this is confused by source-point, distance, effect-point. Cause-distance-effect of the communication formula: that gets confused with it so that any source-point is a create-point, any create-point is a source-point.

"What have you done to anybody in the world?"

One of the reasons you're anxious to find the source-point, and you are, is because you realize the rubble will start blowing up if you find it.

"Nothing."

And you found one in Scientology and the rubble started blowing up whether you were running creation or not. Don't you see? You knew you were at source.

Look at that tone arm, sitting way up! See, sitting up there pretty near 5.0. Well, that's the time for you to get clever. Get clever. This is the time technology is not at all going to fail you, if it ever has. Not going to fail you at all! There are no special cases where the tone arm is high because of a strange valence. Do you hear me? Because the second you begin to believe that, somebody can fool you. You can believe this: that you haven't been clever enough to find the overts.

All right, therefore the rubble blew off because the — some of the obses­sive creations were handled. But there's still rubble, still broken bits and pieces, until the exact moment that you address original creation.

Now, the way you get clever — there's a very pattern way to do this — you say to the pc, you say: "What question mustn't I ask you?" And you get a duck and you say, "That's it. What is it?" and he generally tells you. See, you do that a few times, you know. "What question shouldn't I ask you?" Bang! You got the information, right now! See? It brings it down that far. And you say, "Well, what question shouldn't I ask you?"

Now the way to address original creation is to simply rehabilitate "will­ingness to create." And when that's rehabilitated then original creation appears and there goes the rubble.

"Can't think of one."

But watch it, there would go the whole universe, too, unless there was somebody to put it back. Got the idea? See?

Needle doesn't apparently register. Nothing seems to be happening on this meter. You say, well, I can't get it out of her, or I can't get it out of him. I can't figure it out: what it is. My pat question, "What question shouldn't I ask you?" that has failed. So, that relieves me of all further responsibility.

And you see a pc's body one day just get thinner and thinner and disap­pear in the chair, that's right. You're fortunately looking at a pc which you've brought up to being able to put a body in the chair. That's very fortunate for you. Of course, it would probably be very perplexing for the wife or husband when that pc goes home because the pc could materialize or dematerialize.

About the only answer you'd have left at that time would simply be to end the session. Because I'm telling you, don't audit them with their tone arm that high! See? Now between the point where a pat, immediate, forth flow of the pc of all the hot dope, between that point and the point where you get the arm down: it's your cleverness. You've got to be clever. Understand? So, just believe me right now, you're clever! No other answer, and so on.

Now, the only real method, the only actual method of causing anything to cease to exist is to stop creating it. That's the only method of getting any-thing to cease. You just cease to create.

You can do this sort of a thing by assessment. You can start up the dynamics — not calling them one, two, three, four but just like you do any other — any kind of an assessment. You talk about any part of any dynamic you can think of and watch that needle, if you want a pattern way of going about it. But you watch that needle, and you get clever. It wiggled a little bit when you said "children," but it dived when you said "animals." "Animals. Children. Puppies. Young animals. Rabbits. Young rabbits." Psewwwww! Tone arm fluctuates.

And man is so obsessive on creation, he's totally lost sight of this and he doesn't cease to create something. He creates something new to destroy the old and of course that leaves him with any God's quantity of rubble. That leaves him with all the brick and mortar dust and the bullet splinters. That leaves him with the broken bones and the tombstones. Got the idea?

"I didn't think you'd ever know."

It also leaves him with physics. That's the total genus of physics. Physics has its original assumption — all subjects start with an assumption, except Scientology. Dianetics started with an assumption: "The basic principle of existence is survival." You see how close we're back on the groove though? Because we're talking about the same curve that that word survival occurs on. Don't you see? And we're right back on the groove, except we're just a little bit ahead of it. All right.

I don't know — tell you what they did to young rabbits. If they don't tell you, then, spot it in time. Do an "over and under," you know. "Ten years ago? More than ten years ago? Less than ten years ago?" Get it bracketed right down practically to the instant of the day and, believe me, by that time they'll be sitting there, even if they're occluded, sort of feeling the whole thing again. Almost nothing can stand up to that.

Now, obsessive creation could be said to be his only fault. But this leads into the assumption by the physicist of "conservation of energy." Now Lord knows what the physicist means by "conservation of energy."

But, you've got to be slippy. You've got to be clever. It isn't enough to say: "Children? Sex? Groups? Mankind? Animals? Physical universe? Thetans? God?" "Hm. Well, it must be a special kind of valence." You got to flog around on this thing. Now, it's a nice trick doing this without ARC breaking the pc totally.

I've asked professors, and I've asked them and asked them, "What do you mean? Look if there's conservation of energy then there must be conser­vation of space, conservation of mass, conservation of time. I don't hear any-thing of those in your textbook."

I remember talking to a young criminal. And the meter said very, very clearly that he was a criminal. Meter said with great clarity that we had a criminal on our hands. When we talked about groups, it went zzzzzzz. When I talked about cops, it went duuuuuu. Oh, I got it down that far. I talked about jail, needle tied a bow in itself. So, I said, "Have you ever been to prison?" "Nope." Psewwwww! "Nope. Nope. Nope." So, I just launched out on a disser­tation of the horrors of solitary confinement. Hm! And said it was real hell going through the rest of your life in solitary.

And they say, "What? Conservation of space, energy — waaw." You know. Of course, I just slid a shiv into them because it's a new principle they don't know anything about.

He just, boom, "All right. Yes. That's right. If anybody found it out, that'd be the end of it. Job finished. The family finished. Everything wiped out. Throat cut and so forth. But, it's true. All right. That's it." Laid it on. Drew it out in pictures. And I said, "Well," — the needle didn't come down all the way, you know — and I said, "Now, what crime have you committed that you weren't arrested and jailed for?" Psewwwww! Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. No further conversation or two-way communication involved. That was it. Brick walls were flimsy compared to this boy because he could be sent to prison for this one.

But conservation be damned! Why don't they just say, "persistence." And then they would have been close to truth, but they said "conservation" and then they didn't even define this very well, and it left them with a queer and peculiar jump-off. It left them dealing actually with "what is rubble?" That's right.

So I just started in on all the things you could do. Rape, theft — theft of a car finally showed up — type of car, and I got down to the point where the owner's name began with a letter in the first half of the alphabet. And he said, "All right. All right. All right. It was in Seattle and so-and-so and so-and-so, and nobody's ever found out about it to this day and the car was wrecked and so forth, and I got out of it, and I — I — I was st — st — still on probation when it happened."

And as they go along the line, all their new inventions invent in the direction of making more rubble because they're dealing with nothing but rubble because their jump-off spot in the language is rubble.

I said, "Why don't you go tell the cops?"

The reason matter persists is because it's so alter-ised that nobody can find out where it came from. They hope. And the way it is made to persist is by con­tinuous creation which is then out-created or overcreated and so destroyed.

"Oh, no! I thought you'd do something like this and betray me."

And that new thing goes along and it is out-created, overcreated and that's destroyed, and boy, you're getting lots of rubble now. And then this rubble goes on, and this rubble goes on, and it goes on, and 'the new creation coming out over the top of that and tha — . And after a while there is so much rubble lying around, everybody gets together and says, "Let's make mud pies out of the "rubble." And says, "The only creation left is creation of mud, which is already here."

I actually got him to go tell the police. He wasn't wanted for anything. They couldn't have cared less. They skipped the whole thing. This fellow had been living a terror for years over a crime that nobody, evidently, had ever reported.

And what are you doing mocking up any new energy you don't need to create because the physical universe has already done the job complete, full, utter, consistent, and it's helping you out. So, therefore you don't need to create any more. In fact, you'd better not. Because if you did, why, if you started creat­ing the ground Moscow stood on, well, there's liable to be none. No Moscow.

You know, in Self Analysis, it tells the story of the fish in Lake Tangan­yika, and the fish just won't swim through those shadows. Well, this is what you're blowing up with this instrument — shadows. It's the darnedest thing you ever watched. But, you be clever, see. There's gen, there's lots of gen about one of these instruments, lots of it. There's lots of know-how about one of these things.

That's a horrible state of affairs, isn't it?

Beyond the five basic movements of the meter there are also some tone arm positions and I will tell you about some of those now, if you would like to hear about them.

Why you — you're liable — you're liable to be down at Fort Knox and be looking at all that beautiful gold that's all stored away down there, and acci­dentally say to yourself, "Well, you know, I wouldn't mind creating all that gold — fooom." And the guards run in and run out, and the bells ring and so forth, and say, "Somebody stole all the gold." Nobody stole any gold. Some-body disbelieved this fact: "It is no longer necessary to create anything because we've got everything, haven't we. Particularly the wreckage."

Audience: Yes.

Well, I'll tell you something. If you can create so well as to make the gold of Fort Knox disappear, you have to be able to create very well to conceive of the original creation of the gold of Fort Knox. See? You have to be able to create real well to do that, to conceive of it.

A reading above male or female Clear, for the sex of the person, means overt act, ARC break, PTP on one or more dynamics. One or more dynamics. Not against the auditor, not against Scientologists, perhaps. Just one or more dynamics. Overt acts, PTP, ARC breaks and what do PTPs and ARC breaks add up to but overt acts. That's overt acts: heavy, current, felt and expressed: not to the auditor, not expressed to the auditor — unwillingness to, and held in.

Well, if you can create that well, then theoretically you could say in the next few minutes, "Let there be gold with my initials stamped on it." And then the guards would run in and out and have an awful time because some-body had monkeyed with the gold.

Now, the exact phenomenon of that might be very interesting to you. We'll go into it now. Male reading is male, 12,500 ohms. That's approximately the reading of a dead body. A real dead body uninfluenced by a thetan should read somewhere around there. A man's dead body. This is high probability.

Supposing it had "Australia" stamped on it instead of "US." Terrible state of affairs.

That sounds funny because a dead thetan reads clear up above 6.0. But a dead body unoccupied by a thetan, reads down here at male Clear or female Clear for a woman. That sounds weird, doesn't it?

In order to make something persist it is not necessary, of course, to stand there and continue to create it forever. That's not necessary. It's only really necessary — you don't need this mechanism at all, that's the horrible part of it. All you have to say is that the creation will persist. And that's an entirely different plot than standing there creating-creating-creating-creating, then destroying what you're creating while you're creating it over here, and you're creating something over here and you're destroying it over here at the same time, and you have to remember to create here and so you forget that and you just keep doing that automatically while this ...

That means a body uninfluenced, now, I've — as soon as I take "dead" out of it, you'll understand it. It's a body uninfluenced by the densities or masses appended to the thetan. With the densities and masses associated with the thetan, you instantly get a different read than Clear. Got it? That's very com­prehensible. Just the word "Clear" means a person who can be in a body without grossly influencing it with his own ridges and so forth. Got it?

Get the silly picture this would be? Huh?

Audience: Yes.

Well, that's the way it's being done right now. I think basically it's lack of trust that does this. I think that you believe that somebody could out — unmock your creations. So, it's better to have an indecipherable system that nobody can get back to. Well, whatever rationale there was on it, obsessive creation comes about basically from mistrust. You create forever, and keep created forever a bad experience to remind yourself that bad experiences can occur. That's distrust, isn't it? That's distrust of self. See, you made a mistake so you kept the bad experience there.

That's all that is. Now, when a person is withholding a present-time problem or an overt of some kind or another, they actually have a mass out in front of them or behind them or below them or above them, someplace, and by withholding it from you, they pull it in on the body. Actually, this meter reads the body plus the thetan's physical mass. And as soon as you alter the mass of the body with a facsimile, picture, ridge, circuit, machine of a thetan, you get a different read than Clear. You got that? You get a different read.

The funny part of it is all bad experiences erase only on the overt. They don't erase on the motivators. You can just forget motivators. You can! Just forget them! I've been working this summer hard along this direction. Finally, had to realize the horrible truth of the matter; that nobody can bust your nose, nobody can kick you in the shins, it's not possible without you doing it. Someplace, somehow, you had to set it up so that you would get busted in the nose and kicked in the shins, and you have to even cooperate to make sure that you continue to have a busted nose. It's the most fantastic piece of cooperation you ever saw. It's totally an overt. It's almost as if you didn't even get the other fellow to do it, you know, so that you would then be able to mock up a broken nose. See? You didn't get the other fellow to do it or anything. You just did it. You know?

Now, a thetan who didn't have to have circuits, machinery, ridges, pic­tures plastered all over everything all the time would be a Clear. You got that? There's the mechanical explanation.

And the proof of the rice pudding with curry sauce is trying to eat it. When you try to eat this one, you can process this process and you will find out exactly where it winds up.

Now, we care nothing about the electronic explanation. And electronics men are going to go mad every time they — they look at this thing because it doesn't quite make sense to them. But, it is a fact that the more mass a thetan pulls in on himself, the more density is expressed by the tone arm of the meter. But, everybody will tell you the more mass, the less ohms.

"What overt acts have you done?" Now, you could say, "against Earth or against this system or against the galaxy, or against this universe, or against anything." It doesn't matter what.

In this particular case the more mass, the more ohms. Now, whether the meter's wired backwards or whether or not the thetan's facsimiles are actu­ally less dense than the body and are not-ising the body, whatever that has to do with, we don't care.

"What overt acts have you done?"

Down here at female is 5000 ohms of mass. Now, that's what a female body, short, thin, fat, Venus de Milo, should read: 5000 ohms. This is not an absolute. We're just dealing with a factor here. Male bodies should read 12,500 ohms and that's what you have at 3.0 on the meter tone arm. And as we go up, we get more and more ohms, but it means that the thetan's masses are more and more dense. He's pulling in harder and harder on the body. Got that? So, when he withholds, he impinges masses on the body and you get a higher read on the tone arm.

And just watch the track fly apart. It's a total one-shot Clear. Motiva­tors? Nothing to do with it.

Now, if the last session he was run on was stuck up, gummed and messed up and he had a lot of overts in it, it merely breaks down to an ARC break. But, the thing is still in restimulation and can cause the meter to read high. He's got the masses of the last session unresolved and pinned down on the body. He's not let go of them. That's because he's guilty of an overt of some kind or another against the auditor, or something. Get the idea?

You can evidently only be at effect-point by being practically total cause. How we stay in communication is the mystery.

Now, that is the this-life, present time condition of facsimiles, ridges and so forth. Got it?

Sometimes one gets to believe that we're talking to ourselves. But you can simply neglect the effect-point or the motivator. You can just forget them in processing. I've proved it conclusively and you can come right along and prove it yourself.

Audience: Yes.

This guy is lying there with blood all over the pavement, you know, gasp­ing in agony and so forth, and he's just been run over and flattened. Somebody came along afterwards with a truck and spilled tar all over him. Now, that's obviously a motivator. Obviously! Something obviously happened to him.

You create this condition artificially and get this tone arm moving up and dropping back to the degree that you restimulate the thetan into pulling ridges, masses, machines, circuits, facsimiles, spaces and so on into PT against the body. You say, "Think of a girl you have kissed." You're going to get a mass change. Got the idea? "Think of a new dress you would like to wear." And a person whose facsimiles are not clear but are simply under the orders of the auditor at all times, instantly will change the mass of the thetan and the body. That's all. And that tone arm, then, fluctuates back and forth.

But only by believing something happened to him does it continue to happen to him. And that's the mock-up. By believing something happened to him, we make such an outrageous postulate, which isn't true, that it can happen. Got the idea? Only the apparency of it happens.

So, when you first key one in, and you say, "What part of a bean pot wouldn't you mind creating?" the guy will do something and then there's more bean pot and more bean pot and more bean pot and more bean pot and up goes the tone arm. See? More bean pot, more bean pot and all of a sudden it comes down to less bean pot, less bean pot, less bean pot impinged against the body. You see? And then more bean pot, up it goes again, more bean pot, more bean pot, but not so much bean pot now. Now, less bean pot, less bean pot, less bean pot. Got it? No bean pot. See, for this girl — no bean pot. You could drop it right then, by the way.

But now, as you know from old Dianetic days it took one awful long time to process out an engram. And if you just hadn't — didn't have the perfect knack and weren't going exactly right, you didn't process anybody to Clear.

See, it'll match up with comm lag, it will match up with all the other auditing phenomena. Which means I must have been pretty bright to work out the other auditing phenomena that would break it down to these tone releases and so forth without the things being plotted mechanically. But, here the meter comes along and proves that these other flattenings and cog­nitions and three comm lags and same equal length and ability regained and all that sort of thing — well, they all match in here now against this meter.

Why? Because when you were running engrams, there was an accidental which was never mentioned. It wasn't sorted out until just a few months ago. There's an accidental in there. .Did you run out the motivator or the overt? Did you run out enough motivator that the fellow at length ran out his overt?

All right. So, here it is down to female Clear for this girl on the subject of bean pots. You could skip it, if it's really down there and not just a quarter above it. See? Really down there, you could skip it. Chances are, however, it would be a quarter above that and then you'd say, "What part of a bean pot would you be willing to create?" you see, and you'd get a little bit more up like this and then back down like this and then it'd come down exactly to female Clear. See. Skip it! Clean! See.

Ah, but you say, there ' couldn't be any overt in a fellow who has been splattered all over the pavement, and there is blood all over the place, and then he's got tar dumped on him. See? This couldn't possibly be anything but a motivator.

Funny part of it is, if you ask the question a dozen more times in the early stages of a case it'd probably come up a little tiny bit and go back again. But, boy, I tell you, that's really flatten them, rubbing them out, running steamrollers over them, hitting them over the head with clubs. You got the idea? So, that would be almost a total clearing of bean pots, which is almost impossible to select one particular object — I worked on this most of the summer, to try to get one object to flatten it totally. And thought at one time that I could make it work but I found out it was just my auditing. That's right. I mean, I could finally blow the person down to Clear. I'd turn it over to somebody else and they couldn't do it, they didn't do it. And we had to make up my minds that this was not something that was ordinary and skip it.

Well, processed as a motivator, it just takes hours and hours and hours and hours. It takes as long as you accidently clip the overts.

You are very seldom going to pick out of the blue one terminal, audit it with any process and have the whole thing read very cleanly at Clear. You see, and be flat and then stay that way, totally uninfluenced by anything else. See? We audit bean pots and then, pretty soon, we audit Mexican hats; there's some association between the two. We come back to bean pots and find bean pots reading just a little bit off. Got the idea? It didn't stay totally Clear. Got the idea? Because the case is too cross-associated in its early stages to clean one terminal cleanly, independent of all other terminals. You get the idea? There's too much identification left on the case. That's all that amounts to. Got that?

If you wanted to process it fast, you simply walk up to the fellow, and you would say, "What have you done to that car?" "What did you do to the pavement?" Got the idea? "What are you doing to that tar?" Now, theoretically the guy will be on his feet walking.

Audience: Yes.

And the whole of medicine is dedicated to convincing him he's been hurt. And that's merely because it's so popular; everybody wants to be a victim. So, man, do they support medicine.

What you're trying to do is get this swing up and back, up and back, up and back, up and back, to come back down within a reasonable distance of Clear before you stop the session.

They say, "Cut me up."

Now, the funny part of it is, if you left the tone arm high during the session, in about three days it would have come down anyhow. That's the key-out. It takes from, sometimes a real rough one — it takes something like ten days to key out. And if you were running Step 6, I don't know how long it'd take to key out. That's just beefing up the whole bank and the whole bank gets solid and gets impinged on the person, on about fifty percent of the people Step 6 is running on.

Why do they say, "Cut me up?" Because it can't possibly be done. Oh, you say, "Yes, and so on and so on."

Now, let's take a look at this and find if there are any more significant readings that we could get into. Yes, there is. There is a reading halfway between male and female, 2.5 on this meter tone arm, which is neuter gen­der, thinking machine, circuit, or a male and female couple. See, man and a woman so closely identified that they will read center. See that? 2.5 on the meter: neuter gender.

Well, as a matter of fact, people are so tricked around on the thing, they believe it can be done and they've got the valences so shifted that they believe it's being done to somebody else while it's being done to them. And then they can feel pain. I know that doesn't make it hurt any less. The pain is real. The cut-ups are quite real. But the mechanics of how it got there are the damned­est things you ever saw. In some corkscrew way this fellow has to believe he is somebody else. Don't you see? And he is observing somebody else get cut up and feels so sympathetic about it that he hurts because he did it. You see?

Now, oddly enough, there was one period of track where there was a third sex, and that thing reads off-beat somewhere in that vicinity. You tell me how it took three to make one. It actually took three sexual partners or something of that sort. It was pretty weird. But you'll find that on the zone of the track. And once in a blue moon you'll find somebody sitting here in, actu­ally, that third sex. The third sex will be sitting there.

So, he says, "This body — I am somebody else in this body." Not even the body is something else but, "I am somebody else." Of course, "The body is me" and all this sort of thing comes in here. It isn't even, "The body is I." It's as crude as, "The body is me."

But, usually, it's a thinking machine, a robot (thinking, acting machine) — robot. But in general it's an object of some kind no matter what its purpose.

And, "Therefore I have to keep the body from being hurt" and "The body can feel" — which it can't.' And it's just the most weird put-together you ever saw when you watch the fact that a person can only be at cause-point; can't be anything else; corkscrew it around to where he can actually feel agony and then corkscrew it around further, so he doesn't know anything about it.

Now, when this needle falls for a man down to female you have nothing more serious on your hands than a female valence. And it's very, very funny to run some man, first, on a male valence and then a female valence — fellow's reasonably Clear: we've gotten his needle knocked down — well we run him on a female valence and he first comes to female and then pops to male. And we say, well, we got him out of that female valence! You see? Now have him run a male valence and he pops over here to female. See?

Why, it — that's wonderful, you know? Just how could this be?

It's whichever valence he's facing, the opposite one he goes into. Now, you can have this thing go flip-flip, flip-flip, male to female, male to female, back and forth, depending on what you've got your pc confronting and he's snap-ping into the opposite valence, see. In order to get a male reading, for instance, in order to get a male reading we run him on females and he reads at male very nicely while we're running him on female. See? Now, while we run him — we run him on males, he slaps over here to females. Now, that's quite usual. That is not even unusual.

Well, it just shows that a thetan can think of almost anything. That's what it proves, if it proves anything that's what it proves.

Now, if you're running something like a couple, you know, "What part of a couple wouldn't you mind creating?" something like that. You'll get the pc going from female to male to female, whichever one he happens to be concen­trating on at the moment or sticking in between, or going to male or going to female. See, he can't quite make up his mind which two, and he's separating them out from two simultaneous valences. And he flips to one side and the other side, and so forth — and a very silly looking picture. See? But a very factual one auditing-wise. Got the idea?

But by the time everybody is totally out of valence and protesting all on the wrong side, specializing in motivators, spinning themselves in gorgeously this way and that — they actually do get trapped. What do you know? The fantasy becomes the fact and then they don't know how they got that way.

Now, let's take a look at a low reading. Now, not as much is known about low readings, at this time, as will be known. That's for sure. Just as I can say not as much is known about this meter as will be known. I can make it talk and sing "Yankee Doodle" and "God Save the Queen" but I'm sure there's more can be done with it. Because I've already found out enough in the last few months to hold the next E-Meter manual up just because I had some more stuff to put in it. And then I figured out, well, I wasn't going to get it all sorted out before the 1st Melbourne, so I might as well let the meter go, so I — meter manual go, so I shipped the meter manual back and then sorted it all out almost at once!

And a country goes downhill and a people goes downhill until eventually everybody is saying whatever they say about Kali, here. Lovely creature. Inky black. That's so you can sink in. That's right. Rapacious.

Now, you can say that a male, reading below male reading but not down to female, is in a female or a neuter gender, neuter valence or a thinking machine or a circuit. But a male reading on down below female is in a mind-less object. Mindless object, an object with a minimum of facsimiles as you would suspect as the lack of ohms resistance on this thing. See? There's very few ohms resistance expressed by one and a half on the meter. I don't know what that is; never calculated it out, where it's sitting now. It's sitting at about one and a half, something like that, somewhere down around this thing. I don't know, maybe a couple of thousand ohms, 1500 ohms, something like that. I don't know what it'd be. But he's actually reading in a sort of a detached, dispersed sort of way, outside of his own bank and he has a mind-less object collapsed on the body that he is busy being.

There's a better one. This is merely the country — goddess as she appears in modern times. This is a right now Kali, you see? There's much better ones on the backtrack. And there's one in the British Museum on the second floor which is probably the old thuggee's Kali. It's very, very much better done.

When we say mindless object, we mean something that isn't developing facsimiles, isn't developing ridges and so forth. For instance, this ashtray is a mindless object. Got it? Now it very well might be, and I can't tell you this yet, that a person will register this way on tiny animals or mollusks or bacte­ria or something of this sort. See? Or they might think of themselves as a lonely energy particle that has no other energy particles anyplace and this might read low. Get the idea?

For instance, the womb is totally cut out. Incapable, totally incapable of creation, you know, as represented by the womb cut out. And she is the ghastliest looking thing you ever wanted to see.

But basically, it would be something without a mind. That's as much as I can tell you about it now and I'm perfectly willing to contradict that state­ment at any time. That's not given totally unqualified, you understand? There's more to be learned about this. One of the reasons I sent the manual back. I said, "Oh, aw! You talk the guy down and he keeps just on going down." Didn't stop at Clear; he stopped in a weak valence. Well, of course, anybody's got a weak valence around but they don't always come down to these weak valences.

Whereas this one, why, they've got her pretty well bumped up here. But eventually, why, here they go. That's as close as they get to a thetan: is wor­shiping some abstruse goddess of destruction. Arid that's pretty remote.

Now, somebody was circulating the idea that to audit somebody, you talked them into a weak valence and then audit them out of it. That's not the purpose whatsoever! As a matter of fact, I wasn't doing that earlier at all. I was simply talking the person down to Clear and if he sank below Clear, I talked him back up to Clear. The easiest way to talk him back up to Clear for almost any-body, but is not recommended, is to ARC break him back up to Clear.

And boy, don't think they can't feel pain by that time. You should see a psycho sometime stick a pin in his finger, "ki-yi, ki-yi, ki-yi." It's really agony, he's not pretending worse than somebody else. The further down they spin the worse the agony gets.

But this minus object here, minus object, might be almost anything. But whatever it is, you can run it if you find out what it is. And, of course, you get what it is with some kind of a Dynamic Assessment. Again you're clever. You sort it out. You don't run "mindless object." You get "hat rack." He's just a ruddy hat rack, that's what he is. "Walnut." In an earlier famous case, "horsed chestnut." This person was a horse chestnut, being a horse chestnut, that was the valence he was in. Got it? "Bedpost."

So, if the doctor really wants to hurt you, he knocks you out. That's right.

Oddly enough, one negative valence I ran into was being a stone ax. He was being the head of the stone ax. That was very understandable: it was an executioner's stone ax. And he'd cut off or bashed in enough heads that he, eventually, in an incident, flew into the ax and was being an ax. And before it was run very far, he flew back into his head and was apparently totally dis­related; he thought he was being a stone. That was as near as we could get to it. Then, he thought it might be a stone ax and then he was a warrior, a Roman soldier (Roman soldiers don't carry stone axes) and then he was being in the tip of a lance. All of a sudden I realized what the early stone was. He was trying to go up the whole line of weapons being on the tip of a weapon of some kind or another all the way up the line. He was mishmashed all over the place.

I have an awful time in this particular regard because anesthetics don't work on me but you have to go into agreement with what they're doing. You go back in the corner of the room and sit down while they're doing whatever they're supposed to be doing to the body the way they used to insist on it in the war. They could order you to — they order — order you to surgery, you see, in the war. And go back in the corner of the room and sit down, "Ah, for Christ sakes." And you're supposed to be unconscious and you can't feel any-thing and so forth.

Well, you've got a nice contest when you start doing that because you're on a chain, you're not on a single object. So don't be too satisfied. And you audit the single object very long, he's liable to fly into the middle of an engram that he won't like at all and start screaming. You got it?

A decade afterwards, why, we were having trouble blowing these things, you know.

And research will tell whether it's always the best thing to audit the valence or not. There may be better ways of handling this situation than by auditing the weak valence. I don't know of one now. But, there very well may be. I know I got away with it for a long time simply beefing up the pc to a point of where he skipped it.

For instance, after I got a bomb flash in the eyes, why, they were busy washing off my eyeballs every morning. That's right. I don't know what that was all about.

A very fast way to raise the horsepower of a thetan is get him to audit strong valences. And he flies into the weak valence and then yo-yos out of it into a strong valence and gets halfway between, goes into the weak valence and finally comes out into the strong valence and then comes out of both of them. Entirely separate approach from the one you've been using. See?

A much more sensible treatment was later indicated in auditing, if they'd just taken a big magnet or something of the sort and dragged it back and forth across my chest, and gotten some of the very tiny steel splinters out of me, and out from underneath the armpit, and out of my skull, why, I'd have been probably all set. I was having probably a lot of trouble unmocking steel splinters.

The general class of the process is, "Recall a source-point," and that gives you a strong valence, you see. And the guy in the weak valence, he goes — drives obsessively into this weak valence for a short time and then he starts coming out of it. Got the idea? Hell on the pc. If he's being a horse chestnut, believe me, he gets down to the last atom in the meat before he finally comes back out of it again.

Matter of fact I evidently still have a lot of trouble because one came out of my throat not too long ago. Like to cut my hand to ribbons, you know? You put your finger under your collar, you know? You go like this and all of a sudden blood, you know? Blood? Where's that come from, blood? Reach in and pull out a long, steel splinter.

You could do it this way: you find out the guy is being a hat rack and you say, "What is the hat rack's worst enemy?" And he says, "Koala bears." All right. Audit koala bears. Got the idea? And you'll get the double valence.

The fragmentation, types of fragmentation that they were using in World War II was quite, quite remarkable in the way it fragmented. It was high, very high velocity and it splintered up considerably. Wasn't made out of lead. They should have done something about it.

Now, girls go down into this same bracket in exactly the same way. But when they're mixed up with men, they go higher. When a girl is into a male valence and so forth, she runs higher than her Clear reading, not lower. Man runs lower; girl runs higher than F, number 2.0. And you can count on girls just flicker-flackering back and forth as they're audited; and men go back and forth and so forth.

Well, there was this society, World War II, Korean War, nowadays with the atomic bomb. What are they doing? What are they doing? Huh?

But, a very peculiar manifestation is to have a girl leave the session every time at 2.0 and come back into the session each time at 3.0, when she hasn't had enough time to commit another overt act. That phenomenon just snap! When we're dealing with phenomena of that character, we're probably dealing with a machine mind, a thinking machine of some kind or another, because valences are never that sharply flicking on a thetan who isn't also doing all of his work on the automaticity of a machine. You got the idea? And you'll find such a case will probably settle between the two, into the object, got — the thinking object. And where you get these clank! clank! clank! valence shifts: suspect machinery. You'll generally find this is the case — machinery. Got the idea?

Goddess Kali, here. Only they haven't got her built into a form yet. See?

Now the tone four needle: sweep, bang, sag. Sweep, bang, sag. The tone four — stage four, pardon me — phenomenon is always a machine. You just audit a machine or a circuit or a robot or something like that or a UNIVAC or an ENIAC or a government, and you got it made. Got the idea? It's a machine. And it will normally clear down to between — if you're clearing the person verbally, it'll clear between F and M: neuter gender, a thinking object. Below F: a non-thinking object.

Nuclear physicist, you know, he's sort of in the prior form, you see him in Life magazine and so forth.

The only other thing I could tell that you really need to know about this meter is, when it's all the way up to the vicinity of 6.0 or even into the black, you're reading a thetan who believes he is dead. Completely aside from the theta bop, these are the readings of a body if it were dead: but the thetan believes he's dead up that high.

If you ever saw any photographs of those guys, I hope nobody ever — nuclear physicist ever hears this tape, because, well, I'd just better not say they look like a lot of apes. They do. They're in the world's worst condition, those men. But they're sliding right on through. They're sliding right on down the line in a hurry.

I learned this from plants. When plants think they're dead, man, they rise right up there and there they are. And a plant can conceive that it's dead long before it departs. It says, "I'm dead," goes right on up here to 6.0. After that, you get no needle motion. You get nothing.

Well, the further they get down the line, the more they can feel and part of the descent into the maelstrom is, "desire for sensation." And that's proba­bly the only little trap that a thetan lays for himself, knowingly and wit-tingly, that starts pulling himself down the line.

Now, there is the — the stuff as far as one of these E-Meters is concerned. And there's what one of these E-Meters is all about. Does this clarify what you've been doing with the E-Meter?

He starts to figure out, "Let's see, how can I have some sensation?" Everybody talks about how wonderful — this is an early track gag, "How wonderful this sensation is we are all feeling."

Audience: Yes.

And the stranger comes in and says, "They're feeling sensation? I don't feel any sensation."

It does. You found this helpful to some degree?

And they say, "Ah, it's a marvelous sensation! You just ought to feel it, you know?"

Audience: Yes.

Of course, they don't feel a thing. It's just a gag, you know?

Very good. There's no substitute for the auditor! Once in a blue moon, you'll know better than the meter. But the meter, if you're right, usually doesn't contradict you. They — they do not have strange, inexplicable, sudden departures. They're very constant in keeping with most things in the physi­cal universe.

And, he comes in and he says, "There must be something wrong with me, I don't feel it," you know.

Now, therefore, running by the meter or auditing by the meter is infi­nitely safer and infinitely better than auditing just off the cuff. I can tell you this because you're not going to argue with me on the grounds that if you're going to be an OT, you shouldn't also be an E-Meter! Get the idea?

So he gets himself all mocked up and so forth so he can feel some sensa­tion, not that he likes it particularly, but he — it's the thing to do. And oddly enough it wouldn't work on him if the day before he hadn't pulled the same gag on somebody else. See, he wouldn't twist himself up like this at all.

You'll get strong ideas sometimes and strong impressions. Please don't discount them as you go along and say to yourself, well, this is somebody else's case, my case, or it's really not true or something like this. You've got a strong idea about this case. It's probably very explicit. Don't go around trying to pick these strong ideas off the trees and don't try to audit with them exclu­sively but at the same time, when you get them pay attention to them. Huh? Just pay attention to them.

The first entrance into this universe and the companionship of thetans was an overt. And anything that's happened to a person ever since is an overt. It's an awful thing.

One of the things I do very often is, somebody tells me something, I see a picture of theirs. I'm not even busily looking, you know, I just, kind of, I get interested and I sort of look at this picture and it's made out of mass, too. Pic — mind's made out of mass, you know. Or they write me something or something like that and I see a picture. It'll inevitably be their stuck picture or it'll be the incident necessary to resolve the case. They're stuck at it, I'm in communication with it, I'll just be sitting there looking at it. You know?

You either keep your head amongst all these overts and are able to dif­ferentiate between "What is an overt act, and what isn't?" or just "Every-thing gets to be an overt act." No matter what you do, "It's a sin against all dynamics."

Oh, it's no particular oddity. It's not even a tremendous ability. But, you're just stupid if you don't pay attention to it.

Now, I'm not mentioning any names, but there are some organizations that have been here on Earth for a couple of thousand years that think of nothing else but trying to get you to realize that everything you do is an overt act.

Because about two, three, four weeks ago, I cracked up a case that had been hanging fire for literally years. I couldn't do anything with the E-Meter to amount to anything; case was stuck right up in the dead category, see, and the E-Meter just wouldn't wobble. And every time I'd had to look at this case, I'd seen a picture of a four-poster bed. So, I just followed it down, finally dug up a sexual overt and the needle fell off the pin. But, I did it on my own facsimile of — of that person's facsimile. I wasn't even looking at their facsimile in this particular case. You got it? Can happen.

Now, they feel if they can get it made, why, they've got it made. But there's only one compensation with it; is the nicer sensations, so-called, do last for quite a ways down the line. The nicer sensations go right along with the nastier ones.

It's undoubtedly a facility which is easily developed. With your familiar­ity increasing, your own knowingness goes up. But I wish to call to your attention that when I want to get a job done fast, I don't trouble myself by peekabooing in and outside of somebody else's skull. I just get an E-Meter and bang through. Got the idea?

Oh, early space opera. The pay was being able to be in a room that fills you full of sensation. You could be in this room for a day or so, you know. Come back from a long cruise, "Well, we'll let you have a crack at this sensa­tion room."

Not even terribly dependent on an E-Meter because I also know, that when you can really audit, you haven't got a meter, you can also just some-how or another bang through, you understand. Maybe not always with the same speed. Maybe not always with the same accuracy. But, you certainly can do something. And you have done things for people without a meter.

Later on they give them seventy-two hour passes in Paris. It's just a spin on the same spiral.

But, to get clear — fast clearing and so on, you better find out that the meter is a constant and it is of use to you and you better learn how to use it and you better work it to death because it can tell you an awful lot. Okay?

Another two, three hundred years, if we didn't have anything to do with it, probably their pay would be "permitted to have an electric shock and be implanted." See?

Audience: Yeah.

People get sensations out of these things, quite remarkable.

Okay. Now, I want anybody who's running on a valence at this time, any-body who's being fished around on a valence or any valence that has been found that should be run in this particular unit, to be switched over: "What part of a (unit name) would you be willing to create?" Okay? "What part of a (blank) would you be willing to create?" All right. And you run that, huh?

Now, a "sweetness and light" case is an interesting case. This case, (quote) "likes anything." Anything! It's on an inverted destruction, you see. Particularly destruction of things. They love them, and so on.

And those of you that have been running a mind — in and out, and enter­ing, well you just might as well be assessed until something handy can be found to run. Because your case is undoubtedly shaken out to a point where it will really start purring. Okay? Just find something to run; I don't care how illogical it is.

Well, for instance, as bad off as I ever got along that line is I'm just nutty about a good fight. You know? Slightly nutty on the subject. Good fight, high game. And most people think I'm crazy, you know, if they think anything about it at all, for being so brave. Hasn't anything to do with this. Got nothing to do with it at all. It's just pretty darned exciting, you know. You get the idea?

One of the best things to search for is a psycho of some variety or another on a case and get the mad men and the mad women off the case. That's not any particular favorite of mine, but it's just the one that plows people up the worst because it's the weakest human valence.

It's the fashion today to be afraid. That's the effete fashion of today, is to be afraid. And if you go against this, and you are something else, then you're not in fashion, you're not in style, you see.

And when you get a valence or two flat, why, you can then go onto audit­ing, "What part of a body ..." and then, "What part of a mind would you be willing to create?"

But I don't know, I'll always take the higher point on the Tone Scale if I've got to take any fad. Wouldn't you?

Okay? That's it.

Audience: Mm-hm.

Thank you.

No, I think you, too, would find a scrap, and resisting overwhelming odds, and so forth, you'd find that that was very, very interesting. You'd think that was pretty good.

Well, that's merely because of the "threat of overwhelmingness" and a "victory against considerable odds" and actually so forth and so on. That game, by the way, goes at about 22.0 on the Tone Scale, not 2.2, 22.0 and sort of peters out as a game from 22.0 on down. About the highest or I'd say the lowest point of enjoyment of a game, is about 4.0 and after that it's all got to be sort of internal. It can have nothing to do with the other person. Sensations or games or some-thing like that all start running down toward the first dynamic.

About the time you get to zero on the Tone Scale it starts to go into inversions. And you go back up the dynamics on inversions and go down the Tone Scale even further.

What I'm talking about is, is you could still conceive of considerable excitement, or being excited about doing something, you see, or getting a bang out of confronting something and standing up to it and realizing, you know, that you've done it.

Oh, as crude a thing as this psycho starts screaming around and he's going to cut your head off and so forth, and you stand him up straight, and you say, "That's it." And they say, "Oh," you know. And you tell them what to do, and they do it. And you say, "Wow, pretty good."

Or automobile is running wild down the street or something without a driver in it and you get on the running board and pull the brake or some-thing you know.

You're doing something, you get away with it. Some surprises, some ran­domness in life. It doesn't much matter what it amounts to.

Well, it might be very hard for most of you to conceive of this but cer­tainly from 2.0 on down there is no external sensation of any kind. It is all internal. It's all internal.

For instance, well, at grief-grief is almost totally self-pity. It's the wild­est thing. Just try to get a person in grief to feel sorry for somebody else. They just feel sorry for themselves. So much so that I can upset people by turning on a synthetic grief, occasionally, when they are being audited, you know.

I see they're about ready to spill a grief charge, or something like that, I turn one on. How? Just look at them sympathetically. Lower and gentle the voice a little bit. You know, turn on the feeling of "feeling sorry for them," and inflow some "sorry for them" into them, you know, and so on. And it's sometimes just that little bit extra that's necessary, you see. They look up and "He's sorry for me," you know? Bowww! Get the idea?

Audience: Mm-hm.

But you can count on the fact that it's an in — introverted, not inverted, but it's an introverted emotion. One is looking in on self.

Now, a whole race can go this way. If you've ever seen a Japanese movie. Have you ever seen any Japanese movies?

Audience: Yeah.

I remember one Japanese movie. A soldier goes off to the wars and leaves his sweetheart, and she receives a report that he's killed. That's all in the first fifth of the first reel. The thing goes now for about ten reels. And all she does for the remainder of the picture is walk over circular bridges and sees his face in the water. You see? She — she stands under trees and hears his voice in the wind. You see? Just reel after reel after reel of this stuff, you know. Just goes on and on and on and there sits the audience crying quietly to themselves. You know? You'd expect they'd be all caved-in. Well, as a mat-ter of fact they were tremendously uplifted. Leaving the theater, they'd actu­ally been brought way uptone to grief.

Because the first time I ever saw one of these doggone things, I could hardly contain myself, you know? It would be a matter of putting a hot towel in my mouth, you know, to keep from disgracing the American race.

But as they go down to destruction, destruction itself appears to be the desirable end and goal. That appears to be desirable. And creation ceases to be desirable at all.

And don't be too surprised merely because it so jars against your point of view, to find some people around who only start to wake up and get alert and so forth, when they're presented with a method or act of destruction.

You see a bunch of people in the street, well they've all — like an accident happens, somebody falls off a bicycle alongside of a park, you know, and everybody has been sitting in the park bored to death. You know? Somebody falls off a bicycle, you know, and he appears to be hurt, and they all rally around. Just look at them, how cheerful they look sometimes. That's — that's right there man! That's okay. Kind of a weird way to look at it.

Now practices such as flagellance, and so on, destruction of bodies with whips, can totally take the place of sexual satisfaction. Destruction. There's no sex left in it at all, there is simply a beatingness involved.

And you get some very, very, very caved-in girl, and so on, why it's — this is by the way, down around insane category. The only way she could ever experience any pleasure is have her head knocked off. And here and there, there's some poor guy married to her. See? He has never got enough sense to knock her head off. See, one or the other. Either she demands to have her head knocked off — well, either knock her head off or get her audited.

And similarly there are husbands around who just can't stand it. This girl is going on, she's leading a straightforward, constructive life, she's try­ing to take care of the home, she's trying to do this, she's trying to do that. And she thinks something is terribly wrong with him because the highest level of wife he could accept is somebody who is gnawing on his leg about twenty-four hours a day. Get the idea? It would have to be somebody who was destroying him constantly and continually. Have to be totally overt destruction.

And she said, "Well, my marriage would break up if I even cast an eye at another man. I know! Just break up, just like that."

One fine day, she says, "The dickens with this guy. You know, he's dead in his feet." She casts an eye at the man next door or something like that and turns around and her husband's all cheered up. Yeah. So, she might go a little bit further than this and go over and visit a girlfriend, you know, and stay there till nine o'clock the next morning. Women will start doing this by the way, once in a while, and then come back and say she's been out with another man. Cheers him up no end. This is not usual.

But sometimes, sometimes acceptance levels of "what is sensation" and the idea of "what is necessary in the way of create-survive-destroy" are so different between a pair in a marital partnership that they just think each other's crazy. Just neither one can understand the other.

I had a fellow complain to me, his wife thought that she had a dreadful disease. And I traced this down. He was sitting there in old shoes and last century's overcoat, telling me all about this. His wife thought she had ter­rible diseases all the time and he's going on and on and on about it.

And I'd listen to this and I got a picture of his wife as being a totally psychotic person, you know. All the symptoms and so on. And he was just a research pc. And I said, "Well, send her in." I wanted to see this real nut.

And here comes in a good-looking, well-poised, healthy. girl whose total crime was taking a bath every day.

He couldn't understand it! And he'd reasoned it all out that she must think that she had a terrible disease because she felt that she was dirty! And he knew this wasn't right — he hadn't taken a bath for years.

As you get these cycles of action different, you get it so different that you, here, going to India, you'd say, "Well, I just don't understand these people." That's right. You'd say that, perhaps, if you weren't a Scientologist, you'd say that.

And — Indian comes over here and he looks at Australians, the English, something like that, "I just can't understand these people, you know, they're crazy, you know!"

What they're saying basically is "They're too different on the Tone Scale for me to agree with."

Now about as far different as you can get on a Tone Scale is half a tone to get agreement. And you can get within half a tone of somebody's chronic tone, you've got agreement. And if you want to be at the command-point, you go a half a tone above his tone. You want to be at his effect-point, go a half a tone below. It works every time.

If you really want to turn on somebody's 1.5, for instance, act afraid. Got the idea? You'll really see his 1.5 go on. He gets into agreement with this instantly! He'll keep on being angry if you're angry usually, and so forth.

But if you become coldly antagonistic he folds up. Got the idea?

Well, the cycles of action match in much this same way. The distance between create and destroy. "What it is permissible to create" "What it's per­missible to have survive" "What's permissible to have destroyed?" all match that Tone Scale one way or the other; they haven't been added into it yet, closely.

But you get a narrowing of the cycle of action between create and destroy as you go down the Tone Scale, down to about zero and then you start to get a flip. From about zero on down you start to get reversals and it starts to become rather incomprehensible.

In order to create somebody, you have to beat hell out of it. You see? That's the way to create things, you beat the living daylights out of some-thing, you know.

The way to — the way to make chickens lay more eggs is to get out with a whip and hit them. That's right.

Do all sorts of weird things like this in order to accomplish various actions, only they're so reversed and so forth, that they don't quite work.

Now, the cycle of action of a body is fairly low scaled but bodies tend to start in the cycle of action immediately after they're destroyed. After a body is destroyed it tends to start in a cycle of action. You've got a linear run.

In other words, create-survive-destroyed body; new body, survives, is destroyed, and so forth. It's a linear run.

Well, as you look down from the longer lived mammals, you'll get the more intelligent mammals and so on. You go on down, you get into lesser and lesser life forms, you'll find that you come clear down to the mayfly which has as its total create-survive-destroy cycle, one day. See, the lives get shorter and shorter and shorter.

You could probably put together something that would give you relative intelligence of animals without regard to the societies that take purview over these various bugs and animals. You could probably put together a scale by the longevity of the beast, its relative intelligence.

Now, of course, this doesn't make man fit right at all. What's the matter with man?

Nearly all mammals are about six times their growth cycle — comprises their adulthood. In other words they live six times as long as it takes them to grow up. And man doesn't live anywhere near that. See, that's — it's pretty messed up.

So man, somehow or another, must be messing up his own cycle of action. See, he must be doing something here because he disobeys the laws applying to practically every other mammal.

Man, theoretically, should live something on the order of a hundred and twenty years. And he lives on an average right now, I think, about fifty-six, fifty-seven, I don't know what the actuarial figures are and they're not sev­enty. But he ought to live somewhere — an average of a hundred and twenty. Now that would put him in proper intelligence swing because just under him would be the elephant at about a hundred. I don't know what the age of an elephant is; I haven't talked to any elephants lately to find out how long they're living.

But you — you'd possibly be able to get this in line.

Some errors have been introduced here is about the best we could say about all this. These things are not running their basic, laid-out pattern, something is interfering with this basic, laid-out pattern of the create-survive-destroy on the original mock-up. Bodies ought to be living the period they should be living. That's for sure, because that would only be the original intention of the mock-up. See? So, something's cutting this back.

Well, the basic thing that's cutting it back, of course, is a thetan, his overts, the mishmash of the society and man's growing urge to destroy every-thing that creates in the Western society. His growing urge to destroy.

And that is getting very badly in his road and that's crossing him up. That's spoiling his looks. That's making his women old before their time. That's doing all sorts of things, you see.

Now, the very least we should be able to do with ease, the very least we should be able to do is to bring man's cycle of action up to somewhere around a hundred and twenty. We ought to at least be able to lay it down against its original pattern, its original apparent pattern.

So, a woman's seventy, she's a pretty good-looking woman. See? She'd just be getting into her prime. The boys would still be whistling at her.

Now, if we did that every insurance company in the world would go broke but I don't have any stock. I don't have any stock in insurance compa­nies and I don't think you have too much either, so let's not worry about that.

The basic thing I am talking about is the shortening of the cycle of action, create-survive-destroy, shortening of it. Distance between creation and destruction and the inversions of creation and destruction as they eventually overtake man and his various civilizations. It overtakes them pretty fast.

Thank you.

Thank you.
