Thank you. Thank you. Feel ... Thank you. Thank you very much, I'm glad to see that you're happy to see me. How are you?.

Thank you. I have always threatened to bring notes. And actually you realize these congresses would not be possible, and these lectures would not be possible, without notes, although you always keep them for me.

Audience: Good. Fine.

I suppose you're curious about this new 3D package. I think it might be a very good thing to talk something about. Would you like to hear something about it?

Well, I am very glad to see you. I really am very, very happy to see you. Best reason I'm happy to see you is I probably have the best news for you that I have ever given at a congress. Applause.

Audience: Yes.

You know, we've been talking for a long time about Clears. We've been talking for a long time about worldwide dissemination. And there are some people amongst us who had never heard before of Scientology before their friends brought them here today saying they ought to go to a congress and see what it's all about because the lectures are very introductory.

The difficulties of processing a person are extremely complicated by the fact that this person has been playing a game, and I should tell you a bit about that. I think that might be a very good idea.

They're very simple. They're much simpler than a PE. We'll bow our heads for a moment of silence for those people, because they're about to get it between the ears. Because at this congress I'm not going to pull any punches for you at all.

Anyhow, I want to tell you something about 3D. 3D. You've had Clears. We can make Clears, but not everybody goes Clear. Why? Because it isn't possible to key some people out of the mess they're in. If you can key a person out, you can clear them. If you can leave the litter on the backtrack and park it on the backtrack, you can clear them. If you can.

A tremendous amount of data has been gathered since I was last here. And a tremendous amount of accomplishment has been accomplished. And I will be here again in June. And I hope to be OT in June.

The person can park this material on the backtrack, key it out, and maybe it'll key in in a century, and maybe in a week, and maybe six months or maybe ten years. Who knows when it'll key back in again, but that is the limited status of Clear, and that is the status of Clear and that is what happens to Clears and that's all there is to it. You key this stuff out, you put it on the backtrack, they are in wonderful shape for some momentary period of time, not finite. They are never as bad off as they were before, but they will slump. Why? Because the stuff can key back in again.

So at this particular congress, if you'll put up with my ragtag, bobtail appearance and the fact that at the moment I am not scintillating as a thetan over your heads in the middle of the hall, why, I will appreciate your forbearance.

It isn't as serious as it might sound; it doesn't mean that Clear isn't a state which is desirable — it is a state which is desirable. But let's compare that now that — now that we know that fact. I found it out. I didn't know that you all had these masses because some of you were sufficiently blind you couldn't see them. I'll call your attention to these black masses as of 8-80 — 19-God-knows-when. Remember way back then.

With a tremendous amount of material, an enormous amount of accomplishment has occurred since February of 1961. And as a result, one has to put it all together because a new complexion has come to Scientology entirely, than we have had in the past. There are new factors involved in Scientology which you wouldn't have recognized two or three years ago.

And a lot of you came up and said, "Well, I never saw any of these — what you talk about, black masses; I never saw anything — black masses. There's nothing wrong with me. I look around and I just see nothing. There's nothing everyplace." So I couldn't prove conclusively that there was such a thing as a mass in the reactive mind. I couldn't prove this. It was very difficult because the perception of people was not up to the observation of this sort of thing. That was what was necessary.

We are at a period where the skills of an auditor are finite. They are extremely finite. If you know how to do these things, these exact things, then probably you can handle any technology that comes along after them. If you can't handle these things, why, stick with the CCHs or run Rising Scale on somebody.

Now, it has become evidential that nobody would be in the shape he is in unless these masses did not [did] exist in the reactive mind — period! It is the phenomenon which retains a person's status quo and keeps him parked at the bottom of the Tone Scale. That is what it is. It's unhandleable masses.

But a new level has been reached. We have gone up the ladder and we have hit a new plateau. That does not wipe out the old plateaus. They still exist. Anything that could have been done yesterday can still be done today. But it does mean — very, very definitely and very emphatically it does mean that a brand-new aspect has arrived.

Now, we have gone a step beyond pictures. Interesting? Now, we're into processing of masses of pictures. And everybody has these things.

This is a new plateau. This is "for God's sakes, build a better bridge." Well, you put up new girders and new spans across new streams and people look at you in some horror. They say, "What? Where have we gone now?"

Now, you can key those things out and lay them aside and park them over — 1954, I think, London, Admiration Processing, "There are some corners of the mind which are better off left unentered." A direct quote — something like that — 53, 54 — something like that. This is all material which we have had, but there was no guarantee that everybody had these; there was no guarantee that it wasn't just an occasional phenomenon.

That's all right. Wait till they look at their cases and find out where they've got to go.

Well, we kept running into people who could only see blackness, or we kept running into people who could only see invisibility and who couldn't see pictures and that sort of thing and engrams and so on. And apparently uniformly a requisite of a psychiatrist or psychologist is to be totally immersed in the Goals Problem Mass, so they never see any pictures. So they say, "Only idiots and morons have pictures." Direct quote. "Only idiots and morons have pictures."

When you tackle anything as undone as the human mind and the status of life in this universe, unassisted by any textbooks that are not booby-trapped, you've got a handful. And piloting the way on such a thing is full of many surprises; it's full of many simplicities and many complexities. But let us not make the mistake of believing we are doing something other than what we are doing.

Why? Well, a review of this breed — it is a type of thetan. I am sorry to have to tell you that, but it is a type of thetan and you have got to live it down. But these characters, of course, couldn't see any masses or couldn't see any pictures. Well, why couldn't they see masses and pictures? Why couldn't they see masses and pictures? Because they were unable to perceive to that degree. They had them, but they couldn't see them, so therefore you couldn't guarantee that they had them.

The first error we could make is assuming that we are doing less than we were doing or we're doing something else than what we are doing, and that would be a serious error. Because we are doing exactly what we are doing.

Yes, but the mechanism which was residual is called the Goals Problem Mass. And that is the name which is assigned to these black masses which kick around in the bank. And that, when a person puts on weight, is what he has run into — the Goals Problem Mass. When a person has a solid, continuously unremovable somatic apparently, that is the Goals Problem Mass. When individuals are mired down in the midst of all of this, they have no perception beyond it. Their attention is totally introverted into this particular mass. Therefore, they behave behavior patterns dictated by these masses.

And you get people all around the fringes and they say, "Well, what they're really doing, you see, is so-and-so and so-and-so on and da-sk-sk-da-da-da. And really it's like psychotherapy, only a little better, you know. And uh, it's uh — it uh — it's uh — uh, uh — well, you know, uh, it — it teaches you a new way to think. Uh, it uh, it — it — it uh — it uh, well, it — it betters your IQ. It's like psychiatry, only different."

Now, what are these masses? They exist in the mind and the sum and substance of the reactive mind is composed entirely of these masses — period! The reactive mind of course can be monitored by pictures around on the fringes of the masses. But, if you key out the masses, then they won't affect the individual, but if they do not — are not susceptible of being keyed out, or you can not key them out or they are stuck too thoroughly in, then of course the person will go on behaving — will go on having the psychosomatics, will go on having the bad eyesight, will go on having the deafness, will go on having the pain in his back, will go on having the flat feet, will go on being a thetan in trouble, because he's up against something he can't handle. These things have been unhandleable by past technology — period. There was no handling them. The only thing you could do was key them out.

This is man's fantastic effort to get a datum of comparable magnitude to Scientology. How do you get a comparable magnitude to Scientology? Well, how much trouble are you in this universe in? That's the comparable magnitude to Scientology. And let me assure you that child psychology that teaches them to put block A on block B and then knock them down so they can abreact their hostilities is not a comparable magnitude to what we are doing in Scientology.

But we weren't even working consciously on the basis of heading in a direction just to key out these black masses. I was given this problem by you, by you, nobody else, of why didn't you go Clear? Why didn't certain processes clear you rapidly? Why? Why did we clear so selectively? Why only here and there could you make a Clear? Why couldn't clearing be done on a 100 per-cent basis?

This is the road out. This is the effort of individuals who have been drifting along by actual fact — and now the person next to you who's never heard of Scientology before should be advised at this point, "Well, past lives — you'll come — you'll come onto that later. It's just — just, it's — it's — it's just an idea he has, you see."

And I will not ever settle for any figure less than that, because then I know you still have something you don't know about the mind! If you can't do it to each and every thetan as he steps up and salutes, then there's some-thing you don't know about thetans! Right?

But apparently this has been going on for a couple of hundred trillion years with no change except a bit of worsening. A little cave-in here and a little cave-in there, and a little skid here and a little skid there, and it's been going on and on. Because, what you will learn more about, the 3D package demonstrates conclusively that its elements have been around for at least 200 trillion years. So that means it's been an awful long time since you've been sane, brother. You'll have to explain to that person next to you, "Well, that's the way he talks early in the congress."

Audience: Yes.

But we're not — we're not running this toy tractor over a ridge in the rug, see. This isn't what we're doing. This isn't what we're doing. We're flying into the teeth of the Fates — and auditing them, too.

And when you can't do it to any of them, you're a psychiatrist.

It isn't a matter of being able to change your complexion so you won't have to wear Max Factor — not a datum of comparable magnitude.

Now, you want to know why you have a stuck somatic? Well, why do you keep on going this way every time you try to read the signs in the distance? Why? Does it say "stop" or "60-mile-an-hour minimum?" Why, if you are a bit heavy, don't you lose your weight? Why doesn't this weight just suddenly disappear? Or is — is that — is that a problem of the GE — that belongs to the GE who is residual in the stomach and that's it? Is that just a problem of the GE? No! What are all these things about?

There you sit. How long have you been around doing things you didn't want to do and not understanding what you were doing? Look at it. You any idea of magnitude? "Yeah, well," you say, "childhood." Great! Great! Been around since childhood, have you? Childhood when?

Why is your behavior pattern consistent, consistent, consistent? You audit somebody and he goes out and falls on his head, and you audit him and he goes out and falls on his head, and you audit him and he goes out and falls on his head, and you audit him and he goes out and falls on his head. He falls on his head a little less each time, so you're making progress. Last time he only fractured his skull; time before he put out both eyes. What is this? What is it that stops the forward progress of the mind?

Now, I realize you're very happy with the game you are playing. Cheerful game — whatever the game is. Keeps you occupied so you won't think of other things. Games such as "all garbage cans must be emptied." You know, high-level game. Something with nobility and future.

Now, I tell you that there is something that stops the forward progress of the mind if only from this rationale: You as an auditor, or you as a preclear, are perfectly willing to try anything that would handle any of your difficulties. That I guarantee you. So there must be something preventing us from doing it.

And you get so you think there's no other game, you know. "Got to keep those garbage cans emptied, man. If we empty them good enough and long enough, why then we'll get to empty more garbage cans. And maybe someday we'll work up to only emptying garbage cans and we won't have to do any-thing else. Won't have to think of anything else. And there we are — emptying garbage cans."

And a very exhaustive study of this thing has turned up some of the most remarkable data that has ever been turned up in Scientology, and that is the existence of and the exploration of the Goals Problem Mass. They are masses of mental energy, you might say, burned down to the last notch, and nobody can get rid of the cinders. How do you handle a mass of cinders like that? Nobody can eat them, and as far as a thetan is concerned — do you know that thetans do not have dumping grounds. Do you know that? There is no place to throw stuff away. You throw it away over there four feet away and then you walk over here and it's still there four feet away, it doesn't stay over there. You drop your current body and you pick up another mock-up and you say, "Well, thank God, I got rid of that sciatica. Wow! Boy! Huh! Sure feel ..."

If it weren't for Scientology, 200 trillion years in the future, there you would be emptying those garbage cans. Well, maybe you like to empty garbage cans, so Scientology isn't for you. It's true there have got to be hewers of wood and drawers of water and emptiers of garbage cans. That's a stable datum for this universe.

You have been unlucky the last few lives, every body you pick up has a slight migraine. What's got the migraine? You or the body? Well, we already know that a thetan packs his own somatics and you can very often back a thetan out of his head. One more very remarkable example was backing a thetan out of his head who had coughing spells. And this thetan coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed, and there was nothing you could do about stopping this cough, you know. Until one day, we backed him back of his head and he was back of his head coughing. The body stopped coughing but he didn't. That's the truth, and that isn't just a few of them that have been like that._

But you've been running on this track for a long time — a very, very long time. And you may be telling the other fellow that you feel all right about it, but just sort of look back at you and I don't think you feel all right about it. I think you get the idea occasionally there's something you don't know. There's something that is not quite explained about all this.

Now what is this? What is it that makes the person do this? The person doesn't want to do this, but what makes him do this?

You're sitting at the breakfast table, you look at your mother-in-law, you grip your knife. You think, "At happier times and places, this could have been a poniard, and no law would have intervened." You know, times have been better.

It isn't true that everybody is being willfully aberrated. Just lay that one aside. They are not. They attacked certain things at some time in their insidious past and got hung with the overt — motivator sequence and now they can't get rid of them. And in their own state unassisted, they have been totally unable to handle this ever since, so they have been in trouble. And you, as you sit there right this minute, know that I am talking the truth. You know that you have always had something that you really wished you could handle. Now, it's all right for an auditor saying, "Oh, well, he just wanted to be that way." Yeah, it's true, once. But it was so long ago that he stopped wanting to be that way. That's what we discount. He hasn't wanted to be that way for a long, long time. That's what's interesting.

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. And all of that is totally based upon ignorance of things as they are. These are the assumptions one can make. It isn't a new thought that man might get out of the cycle of action. It isn't a new thought at all.

Now, what is this thing? What does it consist of? Now we've had some remarkable gains in the past, and we've had some remarkable legs up on the subject of the mind. We've had some remarkable data and information, that's for sure, and this has got every one of them beat hands down. Man, that was nothing.

Twenty-five hundred years ago, Gautama Siddhartha, variously known as Buddha, had a big ambition. He thought man could break out of the cycle of birth and death, and twenty-five hundred years ago, apparently a few made it. But as time has gone on, even Buddhism has become booby-trapped to such a degree that you're supposed to sit and contemplate your navel. And actual, technical experimentation has demonstrated that regardless of the size or attractiveness of the navel, regardless of how well cut was the umbilical cord, one can probably sit and regard it for the next 200 trillion years without a blessed thing happening except that he will get more so than he was.

The anatomy of this thing, mapping the anatomy of this thing as I've done in the last, well about — actually started this line of research in February of 1961 in Johannesburg, and carried on forward and was making Clears in South Africa, and moved on along the line. And Williams was down there teaching the course and I got him pretty well genned up, and he went back to Australia, and ran some courses back there and they made some Clears there. And we were going ahead very well, and we moved forward with more and more velocity and then suddenly, somebody comes up with the idea that we ought to be making lots and scads of Clears all over the world and we were making them quite selectively. In other words, we were making people Clear who could be keyed out, that is all.

I don't mean to paint a dismal picture. This is a universe. This has beings in it, and they are doing this and they are doing that. And this would all — be all right providing those beings were happy doing what they were doing and wanted to do nothing else but what they were doing and nothing interfered with what they were doing and they could go ahead and do what they were doing and so forth, and nothing ever interrupted this or threw it on its head.

And then we move into a further lineup. We move into a further lineup. The state of Clear had a barrier that did not consist of getting, in old Routine 3, merely the right goal and the right terminal, because there was no way you could guarantee what goal you had gotten or what terminal, and you could lay your hands on an offbeat one.

Perhaps that would be all right. But if we look at this straight in the face, we find before us a rather cruel universe. We find it rigged in most directions, and I think it's an — worthy opponent. We look at the laws of nature, so called — the law of tooth and claw, the spider eating the fly, the waterbuck and the tiger — we look at the various games of life. And I don't know, maybe you'd like to lie down and be eaten alive by a tiger, but I find it myself an unpleasant experience.

Well, I had a lot of students processed and they were making progress and I was trying to make Class IIs out of them, I wasn't using them experimental. But it turned out that it would have been a waste of time at any time simply to have gone ahead on a clearing basis. That's the way it turned out. Because those that we had started in that direction — and we had gotten close to the end line of clearing — the moment that we turned them head-on, not into key-out, but head-on into the package they went clank! And any gain we'd gotten on a loosed up needle and everything in beautiful shape was lost in the twinkling of an eye. All you had to do was find what is called the modifier and everything froze up like a car run without oil. That was it. So there was all of your beautiful clearing gone. You could cancel clearing.

This universe is an interesting universe. And it remains interesting to the degree that it remains unknown. As long as people can sit around and make up stories of how it got here — well, I'll give you one of the fairy tales, one of the current fairy tales.

Well, I went ahead and did the anatomy of this thing, and I worked very hard on it and I finally got it taped. Called it the Goals Problem Mass and worked the thing out and so on. We had already had the techniques of assessment. These things had already been worked out, so I could go ahead and work out the rest of this thing. And it turns out that the Goals Problem Mass has an anatomy, and it is the anatomy of the reactive mind. Give me the anatomy and I can give you a win. Show me — show me where-the bullet should enter the tiger and you will have a dead tiger, and that is all we had to know. The thing had Achilles' heels and everything else; it could be taken apart. It is an anatomy.

There was a sea of ammonia — sea of ammonia — and it was out there and there it was, and all of a sudden there was a spontaneous combustion some-where in it and sufficient chemical elements combined in this sea of ammonia so that this beautiful girl walked out of the waves. Oh, I beg your pardon, I'm mixing it up with Greek mythology as well as current mythology.

It's very interesting the thing — the mind would have an anatomy, a precise anatomy. And what does the Goals Problem Mass look like?

But isn't it an interesting fairy tale? Look at the despair of such a theory, the utter despair of such a theory. That there was this sea of ammonia — from where it came nobody bothers to explain, you see — and it was sitting there, and suddenly all these elements combined — 8,642 elements combined at CO2H3SOP4 beep-beep, you know, some chemical formula — and it all combined just at that instant and then life was caused, see. Life, see. That's where you started. This is — this is science, you see. And you haven't been able to understand household ammonia since.

There are several items of which it is composed. The most available of these is the pc's goal. That's easily available. The next most available thing is the opposition terminal to the goal. The next most available thing is the goal of the opposition terminal. The next most available thing is the modifier of the pc's goal, and that's a very good thing to have because it's all he ever dramatizes in session. If he is doing anything offbeat in session, he is only dramatizing his modifier.

Anyhow, along with this interesting, widely held theory is a tremendous contest that you have never lived before. Isn't that interesting?

And actually, if you wanted to cure an ARC break, if it wasn't attributable strictly to withholds — the pc is sort of acting up and so forth — and you can't quite assess him very well — say his modifier to him three times and that finishes that, and he quiets right down and that's the end of that. The rudiments go in. The rudiments go in with a clank. The only thing that could be wrong with this is you have the wrong modifier.

Well, let's look at this. The best-held scientific theory is that there was this sea of ammonia and all the elements combined and there was life. And cell by cell it accumulated and eventually you have this cellular conglomeration of God-'elp-us and there you are, see. All right. That's fine.

You can have the modifier misworded or you haven't completed the modifier right or something like that. If there is anything wrong with the modifier this won't happen. But if you do have the pc's right modifier, it just — clank! That's it. It's very fascinating.

Now — now, sitting right alongside of that, taught in the same lecture room in the same university at the same moment is the fact that you have only lived once. Where does that put the sea of ammonia? Well, let's look this over.

The guy is saying, "Yow, yow, yow, yow, yow! And you did this and motivator, motivator and oh, isn't it terrible, and I'm going to cut my throat and your throat," and so forth. And you say, "And raise hell with everybody and leave. And raise hell with everybody and leave. And raise hell with everybody and leave." And he says, "Okay, go on. Go on. Go on with the session."

There must be a sea of ammonia each time you get born. Well, that's obvious, isn't it? If you've only lived once and you've never lived before this life, then the sea of ammonia, of course, obviously occurs at the exact instant of your gestation or combustion or something. So this would have to be a repeating cycle, or, what? It would had to have occurred a long time ago, so if it occurred a long time ago, the agglomeration of God-'elp-us that is you, scientifically, must have been coming along for a long time. Yeah, but you don't have anything to do with the long, continuous line of protoplasm going through space. This protoplasm runs independently of you.

The funny part of it is, your — it isn't making him guilty and makes him stop dramatizing. What you do is just desensitize it momentarily. But because it belongs to another entity than the pc, it of course will only desensitize. It won't run out till you run out the entity, but you can take out the kick out of it any time you want to.

Oh, wait a minute. Let's go back over this thing again. Where'd you come from? If there's this unending stream of protoplasm which comes up from the spontaneous combustion in the sea of ammonia and arrives in present time and this is you, cellularly, why then — and if you have never lived before and you just occurred in this lifetime and your consciousness is that — well, they explain that very carefully.

Wouldn't it be interesting if you knew your boss's modifier? Wouldn't that be fascinating?

They say, "Well actually, you and your personality and that sort of thing is a motion-picture camera taking a picture of a motion-picture camera taking a picture of a motion-picture camera. That's right. That's what you are."

Your sales manager — he isn't making any sales, he isn't making any sales, he isn't making any sales, and you make his modifier. You know his modifier, you go into his office, you say, "And never get rid of anything and leave. And never get rid of anything and leave. And never get rid of anything and leave," and then he has a good day and makes nice profits. Fantastic, but it — that modifier of course is what they do when their goal doesn't work. If they have a failure of the goal, then the modifier goes into full action. Interesting, isn't it? So the modifier is how they get even with life if they don't win. And of course the funny part of a thetan is he always tries to win.

Now, I tried this experiment. I set up a motion-picture camera and I took a picture and then I took a picture of the motion-picture camera taking a picture and then I took a picture of the motion-picture camera taking a picture of a motion-picture camera taking a picture, and it wasn't alive. There wasn't a single thing there more alive than there was before. It didn't — I ran out of motion-picture cameras. Of course, you can say, of course, that if I'd put up enough motion-picture cameras, of course, the whole thing would have come to life and functioned like a human brain. But isn't that true? Isn't that true? The visual image out in front of you is supposed to come in through your optic nervus and registers on some sort of a coordinated screen, and that gives you the stimulus-response mechanism that creates consciousness of the scene before you. I don't think there's anything wrong with the theory. The very — the very, very, very best authorities adhere to this theory today.

You know a thetan never gives up? Never! Did you know that? That's — it's most horrifying! His last revenge is to forget.

So it must be true, mustn't it? They draw a lot of pay. They've got tremendous numbers of letters after their name. So obviously it must be true — except it doesn't make sense. But it must be true. But it doesn't make sense.

This is one of those little two-second techniques: "Who'd be upset if you forgot that?" It's very interesting. It's quite workable, you know, as a little hunt-and-punch mechanism, you know.

And that is modern science and life. And it's gone no further than that. I actually believe — I favor — I favor some of the theories I have heard in Stone Age societies.

The fellow's — the fellow, oh, he's got a horrible headache this morning. He's got a horrible headache this morning. Well, the possibility is you could get rid of the headache just by saying, "Who'd be upset if you forgot about it?" Something on that line. "Who'd be upset if you forgot about that headache?" "Who'd be upset if you forgot about what's happened to you?" You very often watch a very 1.1 gleeful little smile come across the pc's face and he says, "My mother." That's his last possible avenue of getting even. If you can't remember your whole track you are simply getting even with somebody someplace. It's as simple as that.

Ug is sitting there going, "Ooga ooga boongoo boongoo boongoo boongoo um booua."

All right. Now, let's go back and take a look at this Goals Problem Mass.

And you say, "Well now, Ug, where'd you come from, Ug?"

The next item after the modifier is the terminal. That is the pc's terminal, and those are all the parts of any one 3D package.

"Oh, me child of lightning. Oo-hoo. Ugugug lightning strike, Mama say 'Yeep,' there me." Much better theory. Much better theory.

The parts of a 3D package then consist 100 percent of the pc's goal, the oppterm (opposition terminal), the oppgoal, the modifier and the terminal.

You say, "Where'd the lightning come from?" He'd never bother with that — "Oh, lightning." Then he goes off and he says, "Oh, that was God. That was one of the gods. That was a god who did it."

All right now, a bad auditor, not knowing what he's doing, and not fully trained in assessment, and not fully trained in how to put this package together, and any of us before we knew about it, could have gotten the pc's goal as the opposition goal, and could have run the pc on his opposition terminal. And that is usually what happened when a case ran forever and ever and ever on old Routine 3 clearing. It is not safe to run Routine 3 — period! There are ways you could put it together so it would be safe, but by and large it is just not safe to run a pc without a whole package, proved and checked out.

And you say, "That's good. Thank you." Let's not bother any further, you know.

You run this opposition terminal, he feels like his hair is being parted by all the winds of Venus, you know. You'll see him going like this. When you find the opposition terminal, your pc gets very nattery and very unhappy — you haven't got his modifier yet — and you find this opposition terminal. You could ask him all the things which would oppose making pudding. See, "to make pudding," this is what you've got as his goal. All right, opposing all the things of making pudding. "Who or what would oppose your making pudding?" All right, and he gives you a long list and then you assess this list and you turn up with this item. Well, it's only conditional, the opposition terminal, only conditionally; it's until you finish the package you don't know. But that's good, all right, we will buy that, that's all right. Because we can always say, "Who or what would oppose which?" and get a crisscross and get the rest of the package. See, if you've got any part of a 3D package you can get the rest of the package.

But when they have deserted deity as a marvelous explanation — you see, deity's a very good explanation. They say, "Well, God did it. I haven't got anything to do with it. You don't have to understand anything about it. Just — he did it. You want to know about the wall? He did it." They never bother to say, "I have no responsibility, no responsibility, no responsibility," but of course that's the case level of such a theory.

So, we go ahead, then, and we'd say, "If you failed on your goal, if you failed, what would you do to get even with people?" or any such phrase. "How would you get even with people?" You can even go at it on this basis, "All right, supposing you were making pudding and you spill the lot, what would you think and do? That's good, thank you." Such things as that, and he'd tell you what he would think, what he would do, and you eventually wind up with a long list of things. You assess these, you have to crisscross and take pieces of them out and fit them all together again and you eventually jigsaw together this — and it would be something like, "And I'd pick it up and pitch it out the window and blow the place forever," or something weird like this. That is actually the modifier. That's what he would do if that goal were not followed through. And you get a list of those things and you get this thing called modifier.

Oh, I didn't mean to insult you there. I know there are people in the crowd who still go to church. And I should think — I think you should. I think you should. I think you should go to church. Only stop sleeping and wake up and hear what they're telling you.

Now, of course, it's very easy to get the pc's terminal. It'd be all right to say, "Who or what would make pudding?" That's easy. You could get a long list, "Who or what would make pudding?" Oh, my God, he could give you hundreds and hundreds of people and things that would make pudding. "Well, batter stirrers and, well, pastry cooks, and . . ." He could go on and on, "housewives, women, men, men cooks, barbecuers." No, your problem is not that difficult now. You want to know "Who or what would make pudding and throw it out the window and blow the place forever? Who or what would do this?" He says, "A French chef. A Louisiana cook. Mama," and so forth, and he gives you a list that might only consist of fifteen items. You can go down the list — brrrrrt — there it is — bang! You've got his terminal. Simple. Your goal plus modifier, of course, gives you a limited terminal list that assesses at once, whereas, your goal all by itself gives you a very long list.

People say I must be an atheist. Oh no, I'm not an atheist. I believe in God. I believe in God 100 percent, absolutely, across the boards. I'm no agnostic like these other denominations. I really believe in it. I believe you've been around for a long time raising hell.

Now, you have to go ahead and crisscross this thing and prove it out and find out which is which is what — confronts who and you make up his 3D package and you've got the pc's terminal and the oppterminal and the goal and you've got all the rest of it and that is one package.

Only I'm not kidding myself about what this deity thing would be all about. As far as I can tell — well, you'd either have to go on the basis, you see, that there are more thetan — some thetans are more thetan than other thetans — see, you could get that theory. And then you'd have a big thetan and then you could blame everything on the big thetan, see? That's called the "big thetan" theory.

Now, additional items could be picked up. This terminal — this terminal here — could be the oppterm and the oppterm could be in the place of the terminal. See, you could have gotten them backwards. Because you might have found the opposition goal on the pc and mistaken it for the actual goal of the pc. So there of course, the opposition goal has a modifier, doesn't it? You've got another modifier you could find on the pc and put with the opposition goal. So there's an additional item. You don't need it. At the moment there's no, you know, possible use for it, but you might find yourself winding up with it.

Now — and now there's another theory you could lay along there. There's the "you and me and him got careless one day and we were throwing stuff around and it collided. And it was him that made a mess out of it. But we will admit the responsibility that we were at least there to be messed up. And anyhow, Joe and Bill and Agnes and Bessie and Pete, and we sort of came into collision on this subject and we started making this stuff that we're now sitting in and we forgot to stop making it and here we are." Now that is the "us" theory. And I think you will find that one bears out. Who did it? Not "you did it" or "him did it" — "we did it." I think — I think you'll find that bears out._

And then you might have this kind of a situation resulting from the thing: You've got the modifier and it modifies the opposition goal, doesn't modify the goal. Now, this is mostly judgment on the part of the auditor as what makes sense and what's the game. And you fit it together and it does make sense and it does make the game.

You didn't arrive as a spontaneous combustion. You was simply you, and you've been you, and in view of the fact that "you" doesn't have any time factor in it, you can also manufacture the illusion of time, so there you are.

But you also will find out that the opposition terminal not only has an opposition goal, the opposition goal is "to raise hell with cooks." See, that's the opposition's goal as viewed from the viewpoint of the pc's terminal.

Now, this again would be a very poor theory if it is unsupported by evidence. The theory must be supported by some sort of evidence and observation. But when you find out how busy a pc is, manufacturing a bank, it doesn't take very much imagination to extend it just a little further of his manufacturing a few other things. I mean, that is an understandable factor. And if you want to subscribe to the big thetan theory, fine, by all means go to church. But recognize what you're doing. You're not taking responsibility for what you probably had a hand in.

See, that's what the opposition goal looks like to the pc. Actually, the opposition goal is "to kill cooks" or "never to have anything to do with families," you see, something wild like this. It doesn't have anything really to do with this.

Now personally, this big thetan theory is all right except it — it designates an overwhump. It designates that somebody has been overwhumped. That's Scientologese for "overwhelmed." But it says that one thetan overwhumped the other thetan. And as a result of this overwhump, the thetan who got overwhumped is now in a state of worship of the thetan that overwhumped him. And I don't know, you may at some time or another have gotten into the condition whereby when the traffic cop gave you a ticket you drove away worshiping traffic cops. This may be true — may be true. You possibly did.

So you can get extra little pieces and it doesn't matter how many pieces you've got, you go ahead and collect pieces. When you finally wind up at the end you have a goal, an opposition terminal, opposition goal, a modifier and a terminal, and that's all you want, and out of that you make a 3D package, and you've got a package. And boy, does this make sense.

Maybe you worshiped the government the last time it made you pay four times as much tax as you were supposed to pay. But here is the rest of the story.

Now, you aren't able, actually, to do this type of assessment unless you've done about seventy-five hours, at least minimum, of expert preparation of the pc because these things read small — except on a Mark IV — British Mark IV meter. You'd have an awful time because the read is so tiny. It's almost reading it with a magnifying glass. As a matter of fact, I have read on a Mark IV with a magnifying glass. That's very delicate work, isn't it? But you finally find them all, and they all read right. Get them all checked out.

Maybe you drove away worshiping that traffic cop saying, "Yes, Officer, isn't law and order — aren't they masterful. Look how strong they are." Maybe you went away with all this theory and so forth, and when you drove away that was the way you felt.

Up to this time the pc says, "Uh — uh — uh — French cook. Boy, yeah, I've always been a French cook. Yes, I've always wanted to be a French cook, absolutely. Yes. Me, that's me, a French cook — French — French cook. Yeah. Yeah. Jawohl, je vois," something. "Me, a French cook. Yeah. Always. Always. Always. Yes," you know, it's just sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, "That's me," you know, sell, sell, sell. Hell no, the French cook is the opposition terminal in this particular case, he's not the French cook at all. But he's convinced he is. But he'll go through all kinds of ramifications. "Oh, yes, that's my goal, that's always been my goal!" It's the opposition goal. He doesn't know which is which. Why doesn't he know which is which?

But you run into an auditor and without informing you of anything, he simply runs out the incident, and you go into a vituperation about halfway through about these condemned, cotton-picking traffic cops. That's where the big thetan theory breaks down. You can't take anybody who has been overwhumped, run out any of the circumstances of the overwhump without his being mad as hops and then coming back to a parity with what overwhumped him. And as long as he is overwhelmed, he is suffering from ulcers; and as long as he himself has overwhelmed, he is suffering from ulcers; and he's in good shape, you know, in good shape. If he's very careful.

Well, this thing is a mess of garbage that nobody could have piloted-his way through. Nobody could have. It was absolutely impossible to find out which was which at anything. And it looked like a total confusion. And the triumph of the thing is — my part — is being able to make sense out of it and find its parts. The second you make sense out of it and find its parts, you can pilot your way through it.

He's in terribly good condition all the way along the line except for being so sick all the time. And you want to cure his sickness or make him feel better or make him effective in any way, or make him stand up and take some responsibility for what he's doing, and you have to run out the overwhumps. You have to find those periods when he was stamped down to a point of where he believed he was nothing.

But the pc sits there while you're doing it and because it's his bank — "Yeah, well, I've always hated French cooks. Never wanted anything to do with French cooks, that's — yeah, that's me, a French cook. Yeah, I like French cooks. French cooks are fine. I don't think this is any part of me. I don't think I would be a French cook. That's me, French cook."

And having — having found this to be the case, you will discover that he recovers and all of his aches and pains disappear and he's in pretty good shape. And he's now effective. Now how does this compare as the best possible recommendation of the big thetan theory? Does that recommend the big thetan theory? Or does it say the big thetan theory — oh, no, no, I won't — I won't say that the big thetan theory is totally responsible for all the ills of the world. There are other theories.

Because as you run the thing of course these valences are turning through the pc like a roulette wheel and you — it's like a player piano. The pc sits there and you put the roller on the thing and it plays "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles," and the pc, roller, you know, he says, "I'm forever blowing bubbles," see. You just play him like a player piano, he'll dramatize it 100 percent. It's an awesome thing to watch, let me tell you. You just quote some of these parts at him sometimes and the pc — you know, like "singer" and you just say, "Singer, singer, singer, singer, singer, singer, singer, singer, singer," hum-hum-hum-hum, hum-hum, hum-hum-hum-hum-hum.

But you get the idea there of — there's this fellow and he's all overwhelmed and he can't move and he can't see and he can't do anything very much. And there he is, and we keep falling over him — go down the road and we fall over him, come back up the road and we fall over him — and there he is and so forth.

Well, those are the parts, and they are very easy to find by expert assessment, only by expert assessment on a very reliable E-Meter.

And we finally say, "Well, let's take this fellow and sit him on the curb and find out what's going on." And we say, "All right. Here, Bill Thetan, what's the matter with you?"

There aren't many auditors in the world that can do this right at the present moment. They are very, very few. But there's — oh, there are about four or five in the United States now; there are six or seven coming over here — you get how small this is to date. But those people really know what they're doing. They really can do it. It's quite remarkable.

And "Oh, I just don't know. I was just fine, but it's — it actually — the big thetan has smoted me."

All right, now what's this thing really look like? I say a 3D package, and you thought at the same time I said the 3D package, didn't you? Ha-ha! You're always optimistic, that's what's — always filled with optimism.

And you say, "All right. When did you get the idea that you'd been smoted by this big thetan?"

You know that at any moment — well, even Mary Sue looked at me disappointedly one day, and she says, "Well, why can't it all be just one package and you run it out?" You know, as though I was a bit guilty for not having made it that way. Well. So if even she can say this .. .

Well, he could trace it back and you could run it out and you could fix it up and at the end of that time, he says, "Well, what do you know?" He says, "I'm as big as the big thetan," or "I don't feel so overwhelmed," or "Actually, I overwhelmed him."

No, it is the package you find. It is the package which is available, the package which can be proved out and the package which can be run. And just as we ran the first terminal out and the first goal, in Routine 3, we run the first part of the 3D package out. And then we upgrade the whole package and hit it again, and we go through all of it again. We go crisscross. We may keep one or two or three of its elements, but we keep upgrading the package and upgrading the package.

And when he gets this type of realization on the thing, what does he do? He recovers. The next time you walk up the road, you don't fall over him. The next time you walk down the road, why, he's doing something interesting on the corner. And he says, "Hi ya, Joe."

What is this upgrade? Well, you found what the pc had a prayer of handling, that is what you found. That is what the pc has a prayer of handling providing you use the exact process — and that was a trick, too, devising the processes which would actually handle the package and don't think it wasn't — the exact process. And that chips off a piece of the package and you can move on.

And you say, "How are you, Bill." And there's some life around.

And here is what a Goals Problem Mass looks like. Here is one — down here at the bottom is a — is a kind of a little package. You sometimes don't find this one at all. This one will blow sometime later in the run, but it exists and it has existed only in the last few thousand or million years. That is a rather recent thing. And all of the characteristics of the mainline terminals and all of the characteristics of the mainline opposition terminals finally deteriorate down to this little, tiny package.

These things don't compare to the theories and philosophies which we have been taught in the past. They don't exist in that area. And we look for a comparable magnitude to S — a datum of comparable magnitude to Scientology, we don't find one. We find a lot of dead-ended attempts to straighten it out or understand it. And having found these dead-ended attempts, we find out they've been booby-trapped to push people in further, which makes a very interesting picture.

And it's understandable once you know what it is, why this package has everything, but it happens to be unrunnable. It isn't aberrative enough to bother with, but he's liable to be dramatizing it, so both sides all combine into nothing, and he's liable to be, well, he's liable to be a garbage collector who doesn't want anybody to cook while he cooks. You see, it would be all — everything all mixed up. You seldom find this one but it exists and it'll run out.

Therefore, you are very — it's very fine for you to regard Scientology with some suspicion. The usual course of somebody hearing about Scientology, he'll either say — well, he hears about it and he says, "Boy," he says, "that's the thing, you know. Boy! That's just what I've been looking for. Whee-bang!" you know, and so forth.

The one you usually find is somewhere in here. Here is your first pair, first available pair. Here will be a terminal and here will be an oppterm. And if you ever heard of a problem — did you ever hear me talk about problems: postulate — counter-postulate, mass — counter-mass? Well, that is all the Goals Problem Mass is, is a series of very complicated problems. Only the problem's in valences, not a problem in ideas; a problem in identities, not a problem in — "Well, I — I wasn't able to get my wife to cook dinner last night. That's a problem, see, how to get my wife to cook dinner, you see, that's a problem." No, it's a problem that "I am I, and my wife is my wife." You see? This is the crush problem. It's personality versus personality. It's that high velocity of problem, and these personalities are represented by masses which down through the trillennia have gradually accumulated to them totally their characteristics and they act just like people. In fact, they are people as you see them on the street. They are being one or more of these masses.

And he hears some more about it and he gets the PE Course and he gets some more and somebody runs a Touch Assist on him and all of a sudden he doesn't do this all the time, you know.

So here was your terminal — oppterm, and just above this is another pair, and above this is another pair, and above this is another pair, and above this is another pair. Actually, there are hundreds of these pairs, hundreds and hundreds of them. But in the matter of processing, four, five, six of these pairs is about all you ever catch sight of, because running a pair of them blows another half a hundred pair. So it's a sequence.

And everything is just going along fine, and then one day he's sitting there and he hears this true datum, you see, that one of the auditors drinks coffee with lemon in it. This is pretty reprehensible, you know. So he wonders if it's all that it's cracked up to be.

Now, this is plotted according to the time track. Here is now, and here is beginning of track. And these masses are black — and this one is against that one like that, and this mass is against this one like this, and this one is against this one like that, and this one is against this one like that, and that one is against that one like that, and this one is only against itself. And that's the anatomy of a Goals Problem Mass. And don't think you had — hasn't been one awful trick plotting that thing out. But that is what it looks like and that is a picture of your reactive bank.

And he goes through this period of doubt.

Why does it hang up? Well, because each one of these terminals and oppterms, each one of these terminals and oppterms of course is a complete personality package held in place because it has an opposition! And it isn't in opposition against the world and the thetan isn't holding it in place; he has two of them which are holding each other in place of which he is one.

"Well, I don't know. I guess it's too good to be true. It was a beautiful dream, anyway. And it's awful nice." And he goes loafing off and empties a couple of more garbage cans, you know. And feeling kind of sad about it. It was a nice idea, but of course it was all a fake, you see, the whole thing's fake and so forth.

Now, do you remember the old games condition? The person could be self-determined, other-determined or pan-determined. Remember that? Well, in each one of these packages he's gotten over to a total self-determinism and a total other-determinism and a zero pan-determinism. And it actually doesn't pervade very far in life. His life is only monitored by the exact identities of these things. It frightens you to the degree that this is so.

And then — then one day, why, somebody's — falls over a lamppost or some-thing of the sort, and he remembers something he learned on a co-audit and he says, "Well, stand here and touch the lamppost for a few minutes," you see.

One of them's a hangman, one of them's a rebel. At a certain portion of the track, well, that's the game he played: hangman and rebel. Sometimes he was the hangman, sometimes he was the rebel. And then he got so that he was only the hangman, and then the cycle ended.

And the fellow stands there and touches the lamppost for a few minutes and wham! he's all right now. And he walks off down the st — .

Now, back in the History of Man I talked about cycles. Did you ever hear about cycles? Great long periods of track. These are cycles. This is the game he played on that cycle, and then the game he played on the next cycle, and the game he played on the next cycle, and the game he played on the next cycle. And sometimes he gets all loused up and plays a game on an earlier cycle when he's on a later cycle, and does he get confused.

"Gee," he says, "thank you."

And then, sometimes he will play a game with this terminal versus this terminal. And man, does he feel overwhelmed! Because this is something like God or somebody, you see, somebody like a planet builder versus a janitor. And the auditor, when he gets this, can't conceive how these things could possibly be: mass versus mass, planet builder and a janitor. "Well, I guess a janitor could . . ." And he'll — the preclear can explain it all to you. He says, "Well, actually after they build the planets, why, somebody has to clean them up. And while they're building them they clutter up everything so you have to clean it all up afterwards."

The fellow says, "Maybe there is something to Scientology. Do you sup-pose there is something to Scientology?" and so forth. And then he meets a friend of his and this friend of his is something of the sort, and he says to this friend of his, "You know what you need is some Scientology. Yeah, that's what you need," and so forth. "It's a good thing. It's a good idea."

"Ah, well, I don't know, it doesn't sound right to me." Well, it isn't right, but it will run.

And he goes away and he says, "I wonder if that's right. Yes, I guess it's right. Scientology's okay, I guess. It's — it's really Ron. That's — that's the thing. The guy runs things, you know. He just runs things, you know. He says — he says 'white' and everybody has to say 'white.' I don't know. It's pretty bad, you know, and so forth. But I don't know. This is too bad. A lot of the stuff in S — there's some of the things in Scientology work, I guess," see?

You're just simply running a terminal which is within the last two or three cycles of time, sixty thousand or six hundred million or something like that, years long, and you're running one of these recent terminals through the whole Goals Problem Mass in such a way that the Goals Problem Mass in the bank if you saw it — of course just doing a small picture of it, is — sort of looks like this. See? But then it's all like this anyway! You know, it's .. .

And then one day he happens to find some money he didn't know — quite know what to do with. And he goes down and he says, "Well, I might as well — I might as well take an HPA Course, something like that." And he goes in and takes an HPA Course. The first three weeks — absolutely wonderful, and then he finds out the Instructor comes late to class every now and then, and he gets corrected several times and then he kind of misses out and he gets some infraction sheets and he knows he didn't do anything wrong.

Now, it's a characteristic of a problem that if it's totally balanced and perfectly balanced, that it becomes timeless. There is no time connected with it, so it just floats forever. There's nothing can disturb its equilibrium, so every time is its time.

And then he goes through a period in class of not knowing whether or not Scientology is or whether it works or whether it doesn't work. And he comes out of that and then he knows Scientology really works. And then he doesn't know if it really works or not. And then he knows .. .

Why does a man go on worrying? You've seen people around who were worrying about their family after having been gone from home for fifteen or twenty years working in the slaughterhouse. They're still worrying about their childhood and their family. Did you ever notice this? Well, what is hanging up there and why that is, is the problems have drifted forward because there was no time in them. Instantaneous no-time. And that's where an E-Meter comes in. E-Meter spots this only on instant reads and spots with-holds and reactive bank only on instant reads, because the reactive mind is unable to differentiate time. Only the analytical mind can differentiate time. So you get instant reads and you know you're reading the reactive mind on an instant read. But if you're reading a latent read, you're reading the analytical mind.

You think I'm joking. Just look at your own history. See, I mean, you've gone on and off the bandwagon, and on and off the bandwagon. Well, what's so peculiar? Everybody does. It's too good to be true that there's a breakout of this magnitude and progress. Look at the number of times you hoped there was in the past, and there wasn't. You keep stumbling into those things, you see, and they keep getting restimulated and can't be true and then you're getting withholds off a preclear sometime and you — he says, "You know, you know frankly, I have a big withhold. I have a big withhold. I heard somebody else say that actually Ron was seen smoking a pipe."

Well, that's a very interesting package. It doesn't look very difficult there. Let me assure you, however, it has been giving you a lot of trouble.

And the auditor sits there in a state of shock. He said, "What? No. Not really," you know, said this to himself. But he has to withhold it now because he's auditing in session, and he goes around . . . This happens all the time, you know. It's wild, man.

Who are you? What are you playing against? And from a personal point of view, what do I represent in your bank? Isn't that interesting? The probability is I represent nothing. But here and there where people are late for coffee or things like that, I am — they're probably the rebel, you see, and they've got me mixed up with Big Brother. See, I am Big Brother in the bank, you see, or something like that, and they're the rebel, see. And that is the package, you see. Weird! Quite fascinating, quite fascinating to watch this in play. I'll tell you tomorrow a lot more about withholds, and how this whole — all of these tie in and why they tie in. But it's quite curious.

What is fantastic is they always come back. That's what's fantastic, you see. You never lose them completely. We'll even pick up them as has went out the hard way in the next life or two.

Do people know what they are fighting? No. Do they know who they are? No. It strikes a pc like a bolt of thunder when he first finds out.

Some people have doubted so hard and fought so hard and raised so much hell and so forth, they finally kicked themselves off. And no auditor was around to pull them back in and audit them, and they're off someplace attending school in Nueva Vizcaya, upper Bayombong or something at the present moment, and we'll even catch up with those.

"What? Me?" I've seen a pc come out of a — of a checkout -he didn't believe it right up to the time it was checked out by an Instructor — he just couldn't believe it!

But stop looking at things as they ought to be and start looking at things as they are, including Scientology, and you will be much happier.

And he says, "What do you know? Me, a (blank)! A (blank). Me! Me! Me! What do you know. It's right, though, but me? Hm. Hm."

Absolutely marvelous. Of course, a bunch of aberrated guys, including you and me, start putting a lot of things together, start getting results and start making it out along the line and really start doing something and getting somewhere and actually proceeding and not falling on our heads totally, being 51 percent right while we're being 49 percent nuts — we of course are going to make a few mistakes.

And of course, because it's timeless, he tends to believe that he has always been a tailor, and that the only package in the bank of which he has ever been or is being will be a tailor, and so he settles for "tailor" at that moment. He thinks himself as a tailor, and of course, until it's run out he's nicely settled there. But of course, at the same time, he's been unable to be a tailor, or something has been wrong with tailoring always, you see, always having trouble. All of his motivators come from tailors. It's always a mess. But the fact of the case is, you upgrade it only after his attention is totally off of it.

But look at what's really happening. We are making it. Wobbly, yeah. Driving all over the road, sure. But we're making it. The point is, is don't go completely into the ditch. That's all I ask of you. I don't expect you to be driving down the highway with a great big flag on your radiator cap — Scientology, the S and double triangle — and shoot everybody dead who dares whisper against Scientology or spread any entheta or something of the sort, and never yourself doubt anything and always be in there — a sterling, good, solid representative Scientologist at all times. I've gotten sick of you, too, occasionally.

Now, you can't run out the ideas out of these packages. The ideas won't run out! Why? Because it's a total package and you don't take the ideas off the package and run them out. That's why they won't blow. Fascinating? You've got to run out the whole package and then it disintegrates and goes away.

You almost say there must be something the matter with a fellow who's never fallen on his head on the subject sooner or later. He must be fixated.

In other words, if the terminal is a French chef, you don't run all the ideas of a French chef to get rid of the French chef, you just run the French chef, and more or less how you've solved problems with relationship to French chefs. And you get all that off the top and you get the problem handled, because these are a series of problems.

Well, it's remarkable, you know. They — you see them around and then you see them disappear and then you see them come back again and you're used to a familiar face and all of a sudden it's missing. And you hear they had this terrible time and they had this bad auditing and then they did this and this was done to them and that was done to them and it was all pretty hard and so on. And then somebody reports having seen them — they're going down the road under full motivator. And maybe a year, two, three years might go by, and all of a sudden you look up and there they are at the congress.

And as John — just left Saint Hill just a few days ago — John said, "You know, I don't think anybody has ever had ten ideas in this lifetime. There haven't been ten ideas out of this lifetime that a person has ever got. They're all from one of these packages way back when, trillions of years ago, and those are the ideas that a person uses, and those are the ideas he walks with." Which is quite interesting. That's just a quote from him. It gives you an idea of how — the permeation of one of these — one of these packages and how it drifts forward.

And they feel all contrite, you know, and they — "I'm sorry, Ron, you know. Sorry, Ron."

Well, we call it a package so as not to treat it with respect, because you've been treating it with respect far, far, far too long. You've been saying, "Well, there's me and them, and there isn't very much you can do about it." Furthermore, it apparently makes a nice game — hangman and rebel. You always go where there are rebels so that you can hang them. Or if a country has hangmen you always rebel so that you can be hanged. Nice game.

Okay. It always upsets the living daylights with them because the truth of the matter is, is I'm always glad to see them again and so is everybody else.

But some of these games are very complicated. You would be amazed how complicated the game is. Fabulous! Somebody is being an airplane pilot or a rocket jockey, or something like that, versus — seldom machinery — but it'd be versus — an airplane pilot versus airport personnel. It'll be as sensible a game as that, see? You'd have a hard time predicting what kind of a game it would be. You must never tell the pc what it is, because you don't know. You always have to take the data from the pc; you never suggest any data to the pc. You only take what the pc — what you tell the pc to list, and then you list what he says and you never suggest anything else. That is a frailty in training young — new auditors on how to do this. They very often make this mistake. They sort of suggest this or that, and they must not do it. It is very unsuccessful, because it isn't their bank they're running.

When you can take away and handle the crimes, overts and withholds of man, let me assure you, you don't worry much about retaining their guilt in order to keep them in line.

Now, in view of the fact that everybody's bank is different than every-body else's bank, then people can audit each other on this stuff with practically no restimulation whatsoever. Except in one case. Supposing the pc's opposition terminal is a woman, and he's got a woman auditor? And every time she sits down there to audit him, he has a feeling like he ought to have ARC breaks or something because she throws his bank into restim. And what do you know, she can even audit him if she's good. She has to be a better auditor, that's all.

We know the fellow must have had something on the ball or he'd have never been around in the first place and he never would have come back. That's what you expect of a Scientologist.

But this is the Goals Problem Mass. And the anatomy of it is no more complicated than what I have just given you. Each one of these things is a compact and condensed personality that is versus something else, and the something else is right there too, and the pc can partake of the qualities of either one.

But, of course, if everybody did that all the time we would be in a mess, and we have people who have stood by and who are straight along the line. But they themselves have had their moment of grief, every one of them. And me, too.

For instance, he is the airplane pilot who is against airport personnel. And every once in a while he finds himself with a tremendous urge to dispatch. And he goes up to the dispatcher's office and that sort of thing and he feels right at home. That's a real place to be — that's a real place to be. Until he burns a hole in his pants with a cigarette or some other untoward thing happens that alerts him to the fact that he should not be there! And then he gets kind of critical about them all of something they have done to him. And he'll gradually sit there and engineer the most fantastic conflicts. And what a thetan can do with these packages is quite remarkable. He will bring the opposition into full play every time. It is marvelous. What skill! What talent! What a mania for collecting motivators. People will always play their own package. They'll work it somehow.

So it isn't a terrifically easy road. I've tried to put all the possibly soft paving blocks I could possibly find on the highway and put a few rest camps along the line as well as I could. But remember, I'm just me. I'm not in the paving business.

Let's take the terminal combination of a waterbuck and a tiger. There hasn't been a tiger in the country for hundreds of years. The guy finds him-self a waterbuck, somehow he'll materialize a tiger. Somehow he'll manage it.

Possibly the toughest thing which I myself have to bear along this particular line is your ought-to-be. What I ought to be.

He's got a company which is running very, very calmly and quietly. Let's say — this is a very common package: worker and boss, see, worker — manager. This is a nice clean-cut time-honored reactive game. What's the guy doing being a worker? If he doesn't like to be a worker, why should he be a worker? Well, he is a worker because of the package; he couldn't be anything else, see, violate the package. So he is a worker, and let's say he's in a cooperative which has no manager. He will be the first person to propose an election and get one so he can cut him to ribbons. This is the most marvelous thing you ever watched. It fills you with awe.

Recently some of the organization members and International Council members down in South Africa went out on a tour of the various cities. And they had to ask everybody's — answer everybody's questions such as, "Well, does Ron have horns, not have horns. Does he grow wings? Does he lecture from the middle of the hall, you see, supported in translucent splendor or something of the sort? Or does he do this or does he do that?" And they have to answer all these questions. Nobody ever believes them.

But as you examine people and you realize that these 3D packages exist in people, and you realize for instance that you're trying to run a nice family, and you've got some element of the family is just wilder than a hatter, and you can't get this settled down. One of these days you will get a 3D package, you will know exactly why, and that nothing under God's green earth could have ever been done about it, except to get the 3D package. There is no stop-ping short of that to knock the whole thing out.

They say, "Well, Ron is just a guy, and he's just trying to do a job and so forth. And the best thing you could say for him is he keeps on and he does deliver the bacon as he — as he goes. That's about the best you could say for him. And there it is, and everything's fine and — but he's just a guy," and so on. And people don't want that.

The person's opposition terminal is "family." It's as simple as that. That's easy. So anything he has to do with a family is going to go wrong and he's going to have a game and he's going to have a fight. And you could serve him soup in bed and you could do anything you wanted to do, he'd spill it! Damn it, he'd spill it all over himself and burn himself! He would, you know. He'd make it. They're good at this. They're good at this.

Man, you really run it on me. You really run it. One of the toughest things about a congress is one always has to come up bright and shining on a certain date. This is from my point of view, you see.

So, you have difficulties — where a thetan has difficulties, he insists on this pattern of difficulty and what is remarkable is, he doesn't get into difficulties that aren't on this pattern of difficulties. These are the difficulties he gets into, nothing else.

If I came limping on the stage, "Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough — I'm sorry I can't give you much of a lecture and so forth, because" — be several people say, "Scientology doesn't work. Look, he's sick."

I'll tell you, a fellow could stand in the middle of a forest with a roaring forest fire going on around him on all sides, and if it had nothing to do with his Goals Problem Mass, he would not even get singed! He wouldn't even lose his shoes! But he could be in the middle of the forest, and there is a boy with an air gun five miles away and his opposition terminal is a small boy, and there are just thousands of trees and it is only an air gun bullet. He'll get himself killed! He'll make it! It's almost as if he has to get out of his head and lead the bullet through the barrel, over, and get himself shot.

Well, look at this — meat body. It's a meat body, nothing else. Been dead three times in this lifetime. Been through a war. Lived in the United States. What I'm proudest of, you never notice — I'm still alive and functioning.

Well, I give you a preview of this. Human behavior becomes highly predictable and extremely intriguing when you start looking at 3D packages.

Now, for instance, I should never show up at a congress with a finger bound up. See, the ought-to-be. That's — that's pretty — pretty grim. "Well, I don't know whether Scientology works or not because, you know, actually at the congress in Washington there, Ron had a — had a bandage on his finger and so forth. It was the Clean Hands Congress, too."

What you need amongst you is not necessarily auditors at this instant who can audit 3D packages, but auditors who are very, very good at Class II activities, so that they can — you can be led up to a point where getting a 3D package is a very simple affair. And then, of course, you need auditors who are experts at Class III and we'll have those too. We have proven out that this can go.

Now, I'm always supposed to be bright and shining, all on — always on top, always rolling on all eight wheels. It's fantastic — I usually manage to. But you've got no right to demand it of me, that's all! Let me fall on my head someday. I haven't had a vacation, actually, in years. And how I keep going, Lord knows — I don't. Work about 28 hours a day. I should be at Saint Hill right this moment, I shouldn't be standing here. Nothing's going to pieces, but we're right in the middle of a forward advance of magnitude right at the present instant and it's not a moment of advance at Saint Hill — it's happening right here in the United States. And you possibly haven't noticed it. We'll take it up at greater length in this congress, but it is rather fantastic what is occurring.

So there's what we're doing, there's what we're going, and there's what happens. I consider it fantastic that the thing was resolvable. The complexities of it are absolutely fantastic. The steps you have to take in order to assess it, in order to prepare the assessment, I didn't at first believe auditors could learn. But I find they learn these much more easily than much simpler steps taken on other old techniques. Fascinating.

But that I can appear at a congress at all is pretty good from my point of view, see? That I can last out six, twelve, eighteen hours of lecture and so forth, I think that's pretty good.

But there is a 3D package, and there is what a human being's behavior is all about for the first time on this planet, announced.

You say, "Well, of course, he would be able to do it," you see? "Of course, well, that's — that's easy," you see.

Thank you.

There's no glory in it for me, don't you see? I can't say, "Look how terrific this is, folks," you see? I can't say that. You say, "Well, that's — that's just what we expect of you, Ron," you see? "That's what you're supposed to be able to do," you know.

Thank you.

Well, pretty good, pretty good. But could you do it? And well, you possibly could. I'm — certainly I'm trying to put you in shape so that you definitely could. But I'm not in shape so that I can. And yet I do. That's the ought-to-be versus the actuality.

See you tomorrow.

The only thing that you can really count on me for absolutely across the boards, and I think you have learned this over the years: One, I know where we're going, I know what we're doing, and I will work very sincerely and put everything else aside to accomplish our definite goals and ends in this particular direction. And I know that you know you can count on that.

And beyond that, I'm afraid I can't recommend myself very much. Get cross. Meaner than a cat, man. You ought to see me sometime when a message comes in from Johannesburg that they have just been threatened with liquidation because they forgot to pay the water bill. You ought to see me, you know. I'm not trying to keep Johannesburg from liquidating and make sure they pay their water bills, but I have to make sure they do, you see? Boy! It's a good thing I have spoken several languages on the track because I would run out of curse words. And it's a terrible state of shock that some staff members sometimes — only new ones — go into. They find me in a hall, you know, and I'm chewing somebody up, my God, you know? And he's trying to tell me desperately that isn't his department and he's not responsible for it and I say, well, you know, something — something very pleasant like, "You're trying to tell me you're not responsible?" You know, something like this.

And they say, "Gee, he can get mad."

Well, that's another ought-to-be. You see, I'm never supposed to get mad,I'm supposed to withhold it. Well, I'd be withholding more anger in fifteenminutes over some things than most people express in their entire lifetime.Frankly, I am simply libeling myself at the moment because I am a fairlyeven-tempered character. But don't deny me the right to get mad about some‑thing, because I do. And once in a while I curse and damn some Scientologistwho is far away, the story on which I have totally wrong. Very often this is the case. I just get mad as hops, you know. "My God! What the hell do they think, so on, so on and so on and so on and so on." Cables fly out in all directions. "Yank his certificates, nail him to the cross, kill him."

I get this rather pathetic letter back and say, "Ron, that was in Pomona. That was in Pomona that happened, not in Riverside. And the auditor was from Seattle."

And I say, "Prove it." And they do, and I say I'm sorry. I'm a liability along these lines, let me tell you.

But the reason the person took it and will take it and so forth, is because they know that I'm totally sincere in trying to keep the show on the road and keep it straight and get the right thing done. So they even forgive that.

Well, that's the way it goes. But it's been tough the last ten or eleven years, let me tell you, particularly the last ten years of going along, having to do so many other things than my job; trying to take care of so many other things all the time. Having to hold together administrational activities and so forth which frankly didn't have too much to do with me.

In 1950, I said Scientology (or Dianetics then) would go as far as it worked and not a bit further. And therefore, to expend tremendous quantities of time on administrative procedures and keeping everything straight administratively was a very short-sighted action. One would do the best he possibly could along the administration/communication lines of Scientology and Dianetics throughout the world, and keep the eye on the main chance, which was to do the best possible technical advance. Concentration on technical.

And although we have put together Central Organizations and so on in the past, it is interestingly significant that now we are going for blood on the administrative front because we now know exactly where we are going and exactly what we are doing and we have made it. And now is the time to make it neat. And I'll appreciate your cooperation in making it neat.

Because we've got a mighty fine future, and we've got a tremendous, wide, unimaginably wide area of advance immediately ahead of us. I speak to you from the terrifically confident, complacent standpoint of knowing exactly what you can do. I have for many years spoken to you from the standpoint of knowing what I could do and hoping what you could do. And I now speak from the viewpoint entirely of knowing exactly what you can do and exactly how far along you can go and exactly how distinctly good your skills can and will be and exactly what you can accomplish. And I speak exactly and totally and exactly from the point of view of knowing what you will become.

Now I don't care whether you fall off the bandwagon and roll off one side of the road and onto the other side of the road and wobble around and so forth — the other end is inevitable. The course of existence is pretty well plotted, because this is one track you can't start going down and then turn back. Because no matter how mad you got, no matter how upset you got, no matter how betrayed you felt, you are still accompanied by this fascinating little point — one little point: It might be true. It just might be true. And that's right. It is true. But I've been trying, and I've been taking your support over eleven years to make a breakthrough which was positively — which included everybody. And that breakthrough has now occurred. And that is news.

And I tell you at this congress that — not "you too can be Clear," but "you too can go all the way no matter how you have been falling on your head." That I can tell you with great certainty. And I can also tell you that you can learn to do it and you can do it. And these are tremendous certainties and they exist with me right here at this moment after a great deal of experience along that line. And I've never been able to speak to you from that level of confidence before.

I've spoken to you with the confidence it can be done: "I can do it. I hope you can. Here is what I hope you will be able to do. And basically, here is what will cure and clear quite a few people. And you can (I hope) do these techniques." You get this? This is the viewpoint on which we've been carrying forward as opposed to this viewpoint: "I know exactly what you can do. I know exactly what is going to happen to you, and exactly where you are going, and that is it. I know that I can teach you rather easily to do these exact things. And I know that anybody who then falls in your hands to be cleared or given other boosts forward and so forth, will receive an exact and finite end. Not necessarily in an exact length of time — it'll take some longer than others because that's monitored by the difficultness of the case and the speed and enthusiasm with which you will work, but I can tell you positively that it will occur."

And that is news. Applause.

Of course, we find the United States at this particular moment in the ho-hum of, "Well, we've heard about clearing before. Oh yeah, we've heard that before. You know, we've heard about clearing people and so on. Possibly true, possibly not true. He's talking about clearing again. Well, I went down to get cleared one time. I went down to get cleared by an auditor. He was an auditor. He said he was an auditor. And he ran a process on me. It was 'look at that light' we ran, long time. I've had other gains. I've had a lot of other gains. I've had a tremendous number of other gains, but I didn't get Clear. Keep talking about these Clears and there aren't very many, and there are really none in the United States or anything like that. The — I don't know what this is all about. Be a pretty dream, though, if it were true."

Well, I'm standing here to tell you that I'm not going to clear you and I'm not going to see you cleared. It's a waste of time. "What? What did he say? What did he say, Joe?"

We could have cleared anybody at Saint Hill rather easily, because clearing is a specific activity which is a way-stop on the road to other ends. We could take and orient totally what is called now a 3D package and run only one terminal to that package and get a free needle rather easily. And we could show the fellow the free needle and you'd say, "Look, you're Clear, son," and he'd feel great. And he would be Clear and everything in Book One, everything's fine. He's vaguely aware of the fact that someday something might fall in on him, but that's all right. That's all right. He's Clear. There's the free needle. He's — everything is expected — as expected and so forth. He isn't being troubled by a lot of things being trouble before.

Why do it? Just so he'll feel good. I know this is unpopular. This is not commercial. You could go ahead and do this. Be perfectly honest of you. Go ahead and clear the fellow. You get a 3D package and then clear him.

Why spend any time clearing him when with the same 3D package you can push him through to OT? Because clearing is not a way-stop on the road to OT. It's a byroad. That's news, isn't it?_

Audience: Yes.

It's easier to go the whole road without traveling on any country lanes. Even though it's interestingly harder and even though it's rougher. But after a fellow's going to be Clear, he's got to go all over it anyhow. You're going to put him all over the jumps anyway. So why'd you waste any time putting him in this hole when you're trying to go up this road? So we have just bypassed this particular goal, and although this is fine and so forth, he is going to wind up Clear, but you'll have to call Clear with a capital C or something to differentiate between what we have been making. We have been making Keyed-Out Clears. We have keyed people out. And that has been the Clear of the past.

There's a lot more to this — and yes, oh yes, he felt fine and everything of the sort. And everything was written down and — as prescribed and so forth, but it was Keyed-Out Clear. And there wasn't any way to go all the way through and make the total breakthrough until just a few months ago.

And now there is the way by which you go the whole way and make the total breakthrough, but you have to confront up to God-'elp-us what. That's rough. That's tougher. It's meaner. The somatics are worse.

When you get out at the other end, yes, you're Clear, but it would probably be the Clear which you have envisioned as a relatively absolute s — closer to absolute state with certain powers and abilities to exteriorize and all kinds of odd things that we have also talked to. It'd be closer to an absolute state of Clear.

Clears we have made have been Keyed-Out Clears. The state which we are making is the state which we have called OT. We are making Clears. There's no doubt about that. There were — on the congress in South Africa a very short time ago, six Clears stood on the stage together. All of them Clear as a bell. Wonderful shape. Marvelous condition.

We've done some clearing here or there. There's been clearing done in Australia. I'm not trying to downgrade the state these people are in. We are making Clears. We've accomplished that particular goal. These Clears are relatively stable, but only relatively stable because they are keyed out. Now I'm not spending much time making Clears. I'm pushing it straight on through the whole way and making people that can make people go the whole way.

So that is what I mean by a new plateau, and that is what I mean by a brand-new upgrade of the whole subject. Because to do this other trick requires auditing skill of a very definite nature. There are very definite skills. They are very, very precise. We will take those up in this congress. And the best news is that you can do them. I have proven that. I have proven that. I have been teaching people to do them and they have been doing them very successfully and very well. I didn't know that they could, but apparently a Scientologist can do a rather complicated, precise operation if he knows exactly where he's going, to the exact end product, without any doubt whatsoever about exactly what you do after you do something. And apparently he can learn this and he can do this and he can do this well. And that is very good news, because we are not having any failures along in this line.

It's sort of a black and white, yes or no proposition. Today on these upper echelons, we don't invalidate the old-time auditor — no, no, he had his skills too. We upgrade these skills enormously, put them on a terrifically precise footing and carry them forward from there, and then this fellow really can work magic. But the techniques which he is using require such enormous precision of use that there are no arguments about it, and after he's trained along the line in this way, he sees clearly that there are no arguments about the precision with which these things have to be used and his understanding of his job. We have walked into a point of complete — tremendous demands on the skill of the auditor. And the news is, the auditor has been able to measure up and we have had no difficulty, even though it took us quite a while to do it, we have been having no difficulty at Saint Hill teaching auditors to do these things. And they have come to do them very, very, very well.

So much better that if at this moment you were to see or be audited by a Saint Hill graduate, you would be very startled. You would know that this was right and that they were doing exactly right and it was going off exactly as it was supposed to go off and there wouldn't be much strain with regard to the thing, but it would be an entirely different auditing experience than you had ever before had.

It would be very rapid and very skilled. So don't kid yourself at all about how difficult it is to learn these things or do these things. Look rather at the truth of the matter, which is they can be learned and these — these end goals and end products are being duplicated by auditors and people like yourself. They have been able to do these things. And that has not been true of many of the old-time techniques.

These fellows can do a tremendous job and so can you. And these are spreading out across the world now, and I will take this up later in this congress exactly what we are doing with this sort of thing, and it's a tremendous new impact that you are looking at.

You have a new horizon, a new future. It isn't life in the old horse, it's a brand-new horse. And you've had a rough ride up to now and you'll have a rougher ride in the immediate future and then it's going to be about the smoothest ride you ever heard of.
