Hello.

Thank you!

Audience: Hello.

Well this is just about the most gimmick first day I think you’ve ever seen isn’t it? Now well that’s because I’m getting my havingness up you know. And, ah, you’re about to see ah, some various, ah, oddities again. And then there will be nothing tomorrow, you’re going to do nothing tomorrow.

Imagine finding you here. You're going to get the idea that this congress is full of gimmicks. Well, it's just today that's gimmick day. You get no further gimmicks after today. Boy, what you will watch out for tomorrow.

First before going much further, I had better tend to business here a little bit. And I’d better read some greeting-grams here of one kind or another. And the first one of course just by accident is on top. But ah, it’s to Scientology Washington D.C. “Hello and greetings to all. Have a wonderful congress. And to my favourite lecturer all my love, Mary Sue”.

This happy sound here. You hear it?

Ah, dear Susie, she walked into it head on you know. She was going to go down to South Africa and have a very nice ah, vacation. She thought it’d be a very nice to have a vacation. And when she arrived they didn’t have much of an HGC so I put her on as D of P. She got that all straightened out got some people trained up along the line for HGC Admin and was taking care of about 30 PCs a week and everything was going along fine and then I made her Assoc Sec. Put her in charge of the organization. This was mean you know. But she had looked forward to a nice time, visiting you know all the wild animals and enjoying herself you know and just having a time. And that was what happened to poor Mary Sue. But she really does hope you have a wonderful congress and she does give you all her greetings.

Audience: No.

And here is ah, “Have a good congress. I find that people really know and apply your development in Scientology to be the best for my hat is off to you. Glen Vance, president of the Advance RD.”

You didn't hear it. Well, it's just bubbling away merrily. You can hear this one.

And, “Here is our very best wishes for a very successful congress and may “61 be even more successful for us. Pam and San Diego staff.” That’s Pam Kemp.

You see this thing? This is an electrostatic… Pretty good, huh? This is a skull. We were afraid he'd get his ears cold.

Here’s one from Johannesburg, they don’t know how appropriate this is. Oh yes, I guess they do. “Have a roaringly successful congress, love from HCO, HASI and The Lions Johannesburg.”

This lecture is simply indicative, no more and no less, than the fact that the natural sciences, the physical sciences, are the basic sciences from which Dianetics and Scientology comes. And in this one hour I am going to show you the bones of a twenty-lecture course called the Anatomy of the Human Mind. I'm just going to give you a light pass over and show you what this type of course is all about because this course is going to be very important to you here and there, throughout the world.

And, “Here’s best wishes to Ron, staff and all congress attenders for a fine congress followed by a stupendous ACC from all staff HCO, St. Hill.”

Therefore, I feel that you should know something about this course and that you should get some sort of an insight into it.

And here is, “Ron, our very best wishes for a marvellous congress. Love Jack and Alison, HASI Ltd. Cape Town.”

Something new has happened. Something brand-new has happened. Many brand-new things have happened, but this particular brand-new thing is this: The world of the mind formerly belonged totally to the figure-figure of philosophy. It was owned property of the field of philosophy. It was the boys in the ivory tower who never went down and sweat and stunk in life who figured it all out. So, of course, they made very little progress.

And here’s one from the director of security Johannesburg he says, “We miss you in God’s Country. Stop. Ron come home. Come home Yank!”

Now I'm not that one – kind of fellows. It's sometimes a shock to you that I am not one of these ivory tower characters. I'm not trying to tell you I have lived. But I am telling you that I have been down with the troops in the trenches.

And here’s. “Best wished for greatest success of congress in the new year. May it be the best yet. HCO and Church of Scientology Los Angeles.”

Life, life has to do with livingness. It doesn't have to do with figure-figure. Life has to do with environment. It has to do with beingnesses and doingnesses and havingnesses, and it's not the high and lofty thing of a big – a big – oh, read Spinoza. Read Spinoza. Oooh. Anybody who ever did otherwise than go nuts on such fare, was lucky.

Well… there’s are lot of good people in this world. That is for sure, for sure, for sure.

Let me tell you. Life is life. Life is livingness and there are things with regard to life. And you want to know what is new about Dianetics and Scientology and what very, very, few people, except the old-timers in this field, fail to grasp is that Dianetics and Scientology is as demonstrable as a foot rule.

Well, you know, getting down to business here. I have some ah, data that you might be interested in which is not basically Scientological but which has quite a bit to do with Scientological data. I have been down in the most controversial country on earth today which is South Africa. Would you like to hear a little something about South Africa?

Now there were many attacks upon the field of the humanities and the human mind. Many, many attacks from the field of the natural sciences. These began in the days of Newton. They tried to take Newton's three laws of motion and apply them to human livingness.

Ok. The ah, most controversial spot on earth today probably is South Africa. And the only reason I would like to talk to you about South Africa is because it points out something that you yourself should be tremendously aware of in The United States and England. You should be tremendously aware of the dangers involved in propaganda. The entire Communist campaign is being conducted with propaganda. The campaign in it’s entirety is propaganda.

There were several activities in that regard some hundreds of years ago. If you want to know more about them, read up on it in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. There are several remarks in the Encyclopaedia Britannica of trying to apply Newton's laws of motion to livingness in order to get a direct result. These failed. These efforts failed. They didn't get anything coordinative. I don't know how they missed, but they didn't.

And the only shocking thing about the South African situation is just this: That not one word of truth has been written in the northern press about South Africa from the first days of the beginning of this campaign. Now you don’t have to take my word for it, actually if you went there yourselves, and if you had nerve enough and energy enough to go around and look at all of the areas and all of the plots in South Africa that have been talked about and talk to all the people without reserve in this situation you would then begin be able to appreciate the extreme truth of what I’ve just told you. That not one word of truth has been published in the northern press concerning South Africa. Not one word!

And as time went on, there has not been one natural scientist, not one physicist of any note, who has not tried to enter the field of the humanities.

Name anything, anything that has been said about South Africa. Anything! I can give you prima facie evidence that it is not factual. What is fantastic about this whole picture is that these statements occur uniformly and regularly on a planned order throughout the press of the northern hemisphere. I’m pointing this fact out to you for just one reason only. That if you can believe this and believe these things about South Africa, then you must also be getting fed a tremendous amount of publicity and propaganda about America and England which is also false and which is planned exclusively and completely in the Propaganda Ministry of Moscow. And is fired off on schedule through some of the most unlikely and unsuspected voices.

What we are doing is not new. The effort and intention is not new. That it has come to fruition in terms of success is new and is the first time that any success has been obtained in this field.

I’ll give you an example: A minister in England said, he wasn’t very high in the government, but he said, “There is one thing you can be certain of about South Africa, that there is going to be a great explosion.” And simultaneously this same statement was being made by a man by the name of Moss who is a senator from Utah in The United States. And it was also being made in four or five other quarters, always the same statement occurred in many places and is then replaced by a new statement which is made in many places and is then replaced by a new statement that is made. Who plans these statements?

You'll find that a fellow by the name of Sir James Jeans wrote endlessly on this subject. He tried to enter the field of life from the field of the natural sciences. He felt that there ought to be something in the field of livingness as precise as we already had in the field of physics.

And you can’t watch this thing without becoming aware of the fact that there is an orderly, organized propaganda campaign going on against the free governments of earth. And because certain things can be blown into being as quote “great truths” amongst the population of the northern hemisphere actions are taken which are favourable to the people who are inflating earth at this particular time, the communists.

The reason natural scientists tried to do this is they felt an enormous impatience with the wiggle-waggle, figure-figure, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work of the humanities. They had a tremendous impatience for the impositive character of knowledge which existed in the fields of the past for the humanities.

I am not particularly against the communists. I am only against the slave maker. I am only against the liar, the cheat and the thief. I don’t like these people, it’s a peculiarity on my part. Now maybe you don’t like some of the things I’m going to tell you in this lecture. But may I preface them by a letter I received immediately before my departure from the Minister of Defence of South Africa in Pretoria: “Dear Doctor Hubbard. As a South African I can only express my appreciation for the stand you are taking, not on the side of white South Africa but on the side of truth. Thank you. J. Fouché.

You see how this could be. A natural scientist has the idea that a mountain exists or it doesn't exist. And it isn't dependent on anybody's opinion whether it exists or doesn't exist. A mountain is or a mountain isn't. And where were we in the field of the human mind? A fellow was nuts or was he nuts? There was nothing positive about it, you see?

I know many of the cabinet ministers of South Africa. These men are some of the hardest working government officials you ever cared to meet. They are very sincere. The only weakness they have – they have two weaknesses. One is security. They do not push security home, they are too decent. And two information. They do not conduct a comparable propaganda campaign to the communist campaign which has been launched against them. These are their two weaknesses. They have no other weaknesses. Just as you are prepared to forgive people you consider friendly and decent some of their sins, so was I prepared to forgive the government of South Africa some of it’s upset when I went down there.

Anybody could make capital out of it. There isn't a person in this audience who hasn't at one time or another been called insane. Not one of you. That's right, isn't it?

I knew they had a hard time, I knew they only had about three million whites and they had fifteen million Bantu. I knew they were trying to handle themselves particularly. I’m not against the Bantu, I’m not against the black man. As a matter of fact I’m probably more friendly toward the black man than any person in this audience. I don’t want him thrown in over his head as he’s been thrown in in the Congo by the propagandists of state department of The United States and Moscow.

Somebody, some time or another has said you were crazy. On what evidence? On what evidence? And by the way, if you're still oppressed by the subject, I think you're sane.

Two hundred Balubas a day are dying of starvation at this instant. Three hundred thousand of them will die. Why? They didn’t even know what a vote was. They didn’t even know what self-determinism was. But all of a sudden they were told, we now abandon you. I don’t care how you talk about this thing called freedom. There is freedom and there is abandonment and the United States and other counties is following the policy today of abandonment of the black man. They don’t care to put out the money by which he can develop himself, train himself and go forward. Subsidize himself until he can stand on his own two feet. So they abandon him by telling him he’s free! And that’s the source of all this talk of freedom.

Now, if an engineer has to pass a railroad from point A to point B, when he finishes his task, he either has a railroad from point A to point B or he doesn't have a railroad from point A to point B. That's all there is to it. He either has it or he doesn't have it. And nobody can come along and give his opinion on whether or not he has it. You get the idea?

Now there are other ways to do this. Right now you tell me, “Well, the government of South Africa does not permit the black man a vote.” Ha ha – he doesn’t even know what a vote is. What do you want, another Congo? But the untruth of that situation lies in this: The Bantu administration of South Africa is working as hard and fast as it can in the direction of getting the Bantu a vote in spite of the fact that most white South Africans are upset by the fact that they’re going to be outvoted someday if this program is permitted to go all the way through. Now does this sound like a bad government that is denying people the vote? How far do your kids have to walk to school? Well a Bantu child only has to walk a maximum of a half a mile to school. How do you like that? In the locations and townships there is a school every half mile.

Audience: Yes.

We’re told that they will not permit the Bantu to be educated. I walked into a high school, a Bantu high school. And I though well, what are they teaching them? I didn’t even know they permitted them to go to high school. What are they teaching them? I was rather suspicious as a matter of fact. But I was much luckier that a great journalist.

This is very different than the way they were feeling and working in the field of the human mind.

One of the things that gets on the government’s nerves down there is that every American goes down there and spends ten days and writes a book or an article. Alsop of The Saturday Evening Post only had to spent nine days, he’s brighter than most. But do you know that in South Africa he did not go near one government official to write the article he just published in The Saturday Evening Post. He didn’t talk to any person or inspect any situation that would have anything to do with it, yet he was very knowledgeable, wasn’t he? This is very interesting isn’t it?

All right. What we have done that is spectacular is to make a complete breakthrough in the field of the human mind, taking the predictable, practical character of the physical sciences and moving them over into the humanities. And that is what has happened in Dianetics and Scientology. You can argue with it for years and it still exists that we have made the breakthrough.

Now look, I’m just a Yank. I’m not expected to be an authority on South Africa, and yet I’ve become one in Johannesburg to white South Africans because they themselves haven’t bothered to inform themselves of what’s going on with the government. Doesn’t that sound wild? Now there’s where – why I say the government falls down in the field of information.

We can change IQ. We can change personality. We can alter and handle human interpersonal relations on a highly positive basis. The degree that we can handle them actually is the degree that we are experienced and able in the fields of Dianetics and Scientology because Dianetics and Scientology has the answers.

Now I went into this high school and I say they couldn’t possibly be teaching them standard high school subjects because I’ve heard there are even laws in this country against educating the Bantu. I’ve read this in the press. And what do I find? Euclidian geometry all over the blackboard. Biology. Then the high school principal, a black Bantu, his main interest in life had to do with whether or not Mercedes Benz cars were better engined with diesel or with petrol. He himself favoured diesel and so his Mercedes Benz had a diesel engine.

Now, that's a new look. Even to some old-timers, that's a new look.

This boy took me secretly into a closet and showed me that controversial evolution chart. He said, “There it is Dr. Hubbard”. It’s the same Darwinian chart that is taught in England and the United States. I looked at it and laughed at him. It’s the same chart, there’s no difference. It’s out of the same text book. His main concern was his library wasn’t big enough.

There are twenty items in Dianetics and Scientology that have nothing to do with figure-figure. Twenty separate items which are as solid as one of these test tubes. Twenty separate, different items are included in Dianetics and Scientology which form the backbone of this new lecture series: The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course. I haven't even written up the course yet. However, it's being given in Joburg and it is fantastically successful. Guys are just walking in off the street, never knew anything about anything, and the Instructor there, giving one – they come in any part of the course, you see? And the Instructor gives this lecture right according to a formula, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Shows them the item and then makes them find it in one another and then has a discussion period, and that is the whole thing.

Later when I went through a Bantu university where they are specially teaching Bantu doctors and other such chaps and teaching the forward lines of agriculture the same curriculum used in agricultural colleges here in The United States. I was tagged for an even bigger bid for a library. And one of these days I’ll be calling on you to help me give them a library. But the point is not even the white South African, who doesn’t stir much out of his city, is well acquainted with what’s going on in South Africa. And that’s what’s fantastic because lying over the country itself is a network of propaganda, and people read the propaganda.

And these people are going, wow, you know?

The main anxiety of the white South African however is not to give the black his freedom but the fact that he might suddenly be given his freedom because they live with him. And they know very well what he’ll do.

Why are they going wow? It's because they're not expected to sit there and figure-figure about it. Here is a thing, a concrete thing, and it can be demonstrated to them that it exists independent of opinion.

The communist message to the world is all you have to do is get the European out of Africa and there will be total peace and it will be OK in Africa. What happened when the Belgians left the Congo? Well that is what will happen throughout Africa. All development and advance whatsoever will be stopped if the European is driven out of Africa. You can count on it.

And existing independent of opinion, it therefore and thereby becomes as exact and accurate as the physical sciences. And there is our breakthrough. We have a practical subject that has nothing to do with anybody's beliefs.

Now what I’m telling you probably doesn’t make too much sense. What’s this Bantu being educated and Bantu being this and Bantu being that. I myself have handled about four street fights amongst the Bantu. They don’t attack Europeans. The Europeans sometimes have to handle them. But the only riots I’ve been a part of or near riots were occasioned by a government administrator who said to a bunch of Bantu in a little village, “What’s this I hear about all you people wanting the national government out?” And he meant it as a joke so I would get a back flash or get a kick out of it.

Every once in a while I am accused of romping fantastically and meanly and viciously over people's personal beliefs. Well, you'll find out that I really don't try to. I don't try to stamp all over their personal beliefs. I only ask them to realize I have mine.

And all the Bantu said, “What? What? Who? Who? Who want’s to drive the government out? Who, who?” And they were very upset people. Because the Bantu knows very well what will happen to him if he is turned over to total exploitation. The people who want that government knocked in the head are people who wish to exploit the Bantu. The government will not permit the exploitation of the Bantu.

Look, today people aren't arrested for murder. The country's full of murderers who have never been caught. People are arrested and tried today for behavior. Is their behavior peculiar or isn't it? Does it agree with the norm or doesn't it?

The Bantu today, on the average, working in the cities, make more money than the equivalent British worker in England. His payroll is fantastic. He’s divided into two classes. He’s the city Bantu and he is the aboriginal tribesman. And the aboriginal tribesman is being brought up as fast as he can be brought up to some semblance of order. But he hates other tribes to such a degree that it is always a worry and an upset trying to keep them from killing each other off. That has been the history of South Africa, the blacks kill off the blacks. And all you’ve got to do is pull a stable government off the top of them and they promptly start killing each other off.

Do you realize that that great un-American activity called the US government has as a basic rule that in times of national disaster, such as an atomic bombing, if they find anybody who was trying to do anything about the situation, he is to be arrested at once! Did you know they had that rule? Well, read their schoolbooks. Read civil defense books.

It’s very funny in an old location Father Huddleston, whatever his insanities by the way, made too much money selling beer to the Bantu to forgive the government from moving them from huts which he charged them a pound a month for, which were made out of tin cans, into decent homes in the location. He was the source of this current bang and it would cost him a lot of money when the government entered into the picture. But the Father Huddlestons had their own exploitive efforts. They wish to exploit the Bantu, they want to hire him for nothing, they want to sell him at high prices. The present administration does not permit an Indian or a white tradesman in a Bantu area. Does that sound like oppression?

If anybody is trying to do anything or is being active, he is therefore being dangerous. Did you know that? That's behavior; policing of behavior. It'll get to a point finally that if you have a belief or if you behave in a certain way – they used to call them eccentrics, now they call them crazy.

Now you can be right down there in the middle of all this and you listen to all of the press and you hear all of this sort of thing. But look. I’ve dragged through the mountains with the government. I’ve been in the Rain Queens country and I’ve been through the locations and they didn’t keep me from seeing anything. As a matter of fact they kept pushing me in deeper. You know, take a look, take a look, take a look.

You're getting to a point where you don't dare relax because behavior is being policed; because nobody has an idea of what right behavior is or what wrong behavior is. Somebody gets an opinion that something is wrong behavior and that's what's policed. This country, by the way, is one of the great sinners on the idea of trying people in public opinion. They throw it into the newspapers, and the guy's done. He's not tried in courts. He's tried by public opinion. That's policing of behavior.

Here is probably the greatest resettlement project on earth is going on in South Africa right now. They won’t permit these Bantu to live in slums they are resettling them and they’re giving them decent homes. Well if you saw it on TV, there’s a picture of it by the way. One of these resettlement areas is hanging up back there with me looking at it. Ah… as far as you can see in all directions from a watch tower they’ve built homes. They go to them at high express urban electrical lines that go out to these things and they give them most anything you can think of.

But do they find out if the fellow who are policing him are sane or insane; if these people themselves are psychotically attacking or are psychotically critical or anything? Do they ever find out about these fellows? No. Because they don't know anything about that field.

But you can live right in South Africa and not find out what the government is doing. So that’s their frailty, it’s the frailty of information. You can be right there, you can hear all sorts of lies. But’s that’s basically because they don’t trust any people any more. They have had more journalists come down there and look at all these things and then suddenly go back and write the wildest lies anybody ever heard of.

Now look, for a people to be free, they must be free to behave as they think proper, so long as that behavior is not injurious to the – a greater number of the dynamics. You got the idea?

They got used to me after a little while and they got very happy about the thing and they saw I wasn’t looking for a pitch. They saw I was perfectly willing to look at the situation and see it for what it was and after that they opened up every door they had.

As soon as they tell you that this is wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong, ask them sometime, "Well, what's right?" and stop them in their tracks.

Probably the most modern prison on earth is Leopold. There the Bantu is rehabilitated and it’s return is only forty five percent. It has been cut, these figures are approximate, the return has been cut by forty five percent. This is fantastic. There isn’t another prison on earth that doesn’t have a much higher return. The return in prison life is usually eighty percent. We have to go to a quote “police state” called South Africa to find a prison where the return is only forty five percent. Social reform is everywhere.

No, when the whole of the humanities gets summed up into this figure-figure thing called behavior, based on something nobody knows anything about, the Tightness and wrongness of existence goes by the boards. And people become slaves just on this one thing alone.

But beating these people up… People are kind of mad in South Africa at the government but that madness normally generates from anxiety, they don’t trust the government to hold the Bantu back. But if you can think of the wild west in it’s old days and let’s say there are about three million whites out there and about fifteen million Indians and then the press saying all the whites should be killed, what would you think? Wouldn’t you think that’s an odd picture?

They are slaves because they are ignorant. What man in the society is right? What man in the society is decent? These are questions that can't be asked.

Actually the Bantu is not like the American black man and you can’t understand anything about the Bantu by understanding about the American black man. The American black man in the first place has been mixed with Indian and white blood over a period of a couple of centuries or less. But has actually been in close proximity to the white man and white man civilization for a century or two you see. At the least the last ones that came have been in contact a century or two. And for almost a century he has had, on paper at least, the vote. Of course, the southerner didn’t give him the total run of things and it’s only recently they’ve had decent or fair legislation with regard to the vote. But this is a different breed of cat.

Well, look, what's a government going to do, run totally blind? Well, as long as you don't know anything about human beings, what else is there to do but drive totally blind and hope for the best. Think of that.

Do you know the Bantu peoples were not conquered by the South Africans until the slaying of Dingin in about 1879 or there abouts. And only then a few of them became associated to any great degree with the whites. The Bantu was the wild man down there. The early associate of the South African was the Hottentots and the bushman, not the Bantu. The Bantu is not indigenous to the area but comes down from central Africa. It isn’t his home, he was moving into the area the same time the whites were moving into the area from below.

How would you like to be somebody in charge of this government right here at this moment with no more knowledge of the human mind and human existence than a government official at this time, does have? You'd go mad because you couldn't tell whose heart was in the right place and whose heart wasn't; who did a job – who would do a job and who wasn't; what anybody's motives were or what they weren't. All you could do is guess.

The history of South Africa is quite similar to the history of the United States, except we fought our revolution in 1776 and won it. And they fought their revolution somewhere in the vicinity of the turn of the century and lost it. And they're trying to make headway now in spite of losing their revolution.

You wouldn't know whether your own party was supporting you or not if you didn't know anything about the mind.

But these are good people, they are mostly comparable to American frontier people. They have a high culture of their own. As far from being a police state, they're not even half as tough as the American cop. And you could just go all over the place without seeing cops. They don't have enough cops, they don't give the Bantu, actually, enough police protection. They haven't got enough cops. That's the facts of the case.

Now, when it all goes into opinion and when it all goes into theory and when your behavior is all totally policed, you are no longer free and you can no longer govern and people can no longer live happily.

But these sentiments are not particularly welcome to people. But I only call to your attention, that I'm only telling you what I myself have observed, having been given ample opportunity to observe it, and I'm giving you nothing but what I myself have observed, and not anything anybody has told me. It's what I myself have seen.

You have to have a practical science, not a science that is a good science because some philosopher with a long, grey beard in some ivory tower has said, "This is wisdom."

But I have also seen an American newspaper photographer take a playground barbed wire area, and take a little Bantu boy and make him go in back of the barbed wire, which was to keep the little Bantu children from getting run over on the street and was wide open, and have him pose there; so he could show a concentration camp for children.

Whole nations have gone by the boards – whole, whole nations – because they had a bunch of wisdom, none of which made any sense. India, China, these are countries which right now are almost gone. They're in total tumult. They have been upset with all manner of political flurries. They had great wisdom, didn't they?

The great Margaret Bourke-White, whose emblem is the garbage can, and are you aquatinted with that life photographer's badge of office? Goes out and shoots the garbage cans in the slums. She had a ball shooting pictures down there, but she couldn't get enough bad pictures so she sort of gave it up. They won't photograph anything that is happening in South Africa and they won't really talk about anything that's happening. I'm only telling you what I have seen, I have also seen people in South Africa who themselves had not had energy enough to go out and look at anything, and who themselves had totally erroneous opinions concerning what was going on in the country. I listened to some of the wildest tales from South Africans you ever wanted to hear about what was going on, they themselves didn't know. And I myself had in the odd position, that's when director's security down there said "Come home yank!". He's just mirroring the fact that in any gathering of South Africans, when they wanna know what's going on in the government they ask me. [Applause]

I knew, as a little boy in my teens, I saw their great wisdom. And I was disgusted with it because it always went with poverty and dirt, and that to me is not wisdom.

Now I've driven an awful lot of weary miles, because South Africa is a big country, looking at the country and looking at the people, that sort of thing. And I'd say they got about 50 years to go before they get the South African Bantu up to the same status and level of civilization of the American Black. But I will add this, we started a security program, just to help the peace of the area, we don't take sides politically, we're humanitarians not politicians. And the Bantu doesn't register the same on an E-meter as a White. And I've had to start a whole program of research, in addition to everything else I've been doing, trying to find out how to read a Bantu on an E-meter. Because he doesn't operate like an American Negro, or like a European. And that's an interesting level of study. As I've told you, I myself have no trouble with the Bantu, I wish him well. As a matter of fact, they called me "Ezimhlophe Sangoma". And there at least one person here who I think knows what that means. It means "The White Witch-doctor". [laughter]

Yes, anybody in his right mind should be able to tolerate having a dirty face for a while, but not be proud of it! Not have as one of the primary requisites of being a commissar, the fact that one can have filthy, dirty fingernails at all times and bite them.

And I've learned some things about the Bantu, his nervous system and reaction, which are of considerable assistance trying to get along with the Bantu, and the things they blame him for happen to be native in the Bantu. And his nervous system is not the same as us, so he gets tremendously blamed and knocked around for things he does differently than we do, it isn't that he does them better or worse, he does them differently, he's built differently. There's certain things you have to do, so I've had to make considerable study of the Bantu, that study is not completed, and the only thing I can say about it at this time is that it's arduously in progress.

No, no. We have, we have in – on Earth here today, a great many woes and difficulties and a great many unhappy people, a great many starving people, a great many people who can't make it and they all stem out of the fact of ignorance. They don't know They have no literacy about the mind at all. They're living in a total darkness. And having no literacy, they can't understand their fellows and they don't know which man means them well and which man means them badly. They know none of the rules of the human mind.

As far as my getting along with the Bantu is concerned I say I get along with him wonderfully. It's very difficult for me not to build up a practice. One of the first things one of the boys, we have tremendous numbers of Natives working in the central organization, and we have lots of Coloureds working in the central organization, and lots of Europeans. And of course, the people we have at home, we have four Bantu there. And these people in the central organization made me a sign, and it has feathers, and knucklebones, and Dr. L. Ron Hubbard, and then it says Scientologist, and below that it says "Ezimhlophe Sangoma". I didn't even have to hang out my shingle, practically any of the yard boys, or servants, or brothers, sisters, aunts, or cousins, anywhere in our neighbourhood, or anywhere in the central organization's neighbourhood, were liable to turn up with a sore fist, or a limping foot, or a hernia, or something of the sort, and ask me to do something for it. My reputation had gone along way ahead of me, see. And just on the basis of the reputation I'd say, "Well, who did you think an evil thought about?" They'd tell me, and their sore foot gets well. [laughter]

What this world needs is a practical science, the parts of which are clearly visible. And if you can see this, then you can see into men's hearts and know them and live. That might not make sense to you at this moment. But it will. It will.

The only thing I'm trying to point out to you, I'm not actually trying to sell you the South African government. I could easily do so because I consider these men very able, from what I've seen, they're nice guys. I know them personally. And they're not as advertised, just the only thing I'm trying to tell you is there's these tremendous reports in the northern press, concerning a country on Earth, and none of these reports are factual.

But let's talk some more about this anatomy course.

But South Africa has gold, and it has diamonds. And I think we're looking at a new type of imperialism. Now the same thing goes on against America, the same thing goes against England in various areas, and the same thing goes on against Scientology.

This anatomy course is fantastic simply because it takes its audiences, raw meat off the street, and they take a look at it, and they say, "What?" "This is the anatomy of the human mind!" Well, it is, you know. And they just lap it up, and they say, "That's it." And they feel very happy about it, and things go whirr – click in their heads, and they go gee, you know, that's real good, and that's very true, and so forth, because we just show them twenty things that are real, that they can find anyplace.

The press has ceased to be factual, has ceased to be a reporting medium, and has become a propaganda media throughout the world. Therefore before you believe anything wild, whether about Scientology, South Africa or anything else, there's only one thing I ask you to do. And that's to, well, the advice of Minister Fouché, not necessarily a stand on the side of South Africa, but certainly a stand on the side of truth.

Now, when I say things, I say – I mean things. There are twenty things. They are very concrete things. I'm not going to give you a list of them because I didn't bring my notes.

"Just because you hear it, it isn't true. Even just because I told you, it isn't true." Remember, that what you see, what you experience is factual, whether in Scientology or world affairs. And I believe that America can win across the world the moment it recognizes that the sole weapons of the communist are propaganda. And his sole stock and trade are lies, and his sole aim and goal is slavery. We don't hear any more of these countries they have overrun, they have disappeared. What of their talks of freedom of the press, when there is no press that isn't government press left in the countries that have been overrun by Communism.

This is probably the one time in history – this is the one time in history that I needed my notes. I'll write all these up and we will be able to actually get into it and do something. Ah! One of Kennedy's appointees.

So let's take a look at the status of things, recognize that the war that we are fighting is a war of information, a war of propaganda, and that the enemy wishes us to believe many things which are not true, so he can achieve his end-goal of slavery. That's the only thing I'm trying to tell you.

But having no notes, why, I'll just have to play it off the cuff and show you only this – I'm not going to show you these twenty things but I am going to show you this – that we are in possession of things. We are studying things.

What is true for you is what you have observed yourself. And when you lose that, you have lost everything. What is personal integrity? Personal integrity is knowing what you know. What you know, is what you know. And to have the courage to know and say what you have observed, and that is integrity. And there is no other integrity. Of course, we can talk about honour, truth, nobility, all of these things, these esoteric terms. But I think they'd all be covered very well if what we really observed was what we observed. That we took care to observe what we were observing. That we always observed to observe. And not necessarily maintaining a sceptical attitude, a critical attitude, or an open mind. Not necessarily maintaining these things at all, but certainly maintaining sufficient personal integrity, and sufficient personal belief and confidence in self, and courage that we can observe what we observe and say what we have observed. Nothing in Scientology is true for you unless you have observed it and it is true according to your observation. That is all. [Applause]

Now, I want to discuss first some of the things that the predecessors, our predecessors, have been discussing. But this, oddly enough, is one of the things which is taught in this particular course. One of the things taught in this course, The Anatomy of the Human Mind, is an item which I think you had better inspect fairly closely because you probably have never seen one.

Now, whether or not the MP regiments will be reconvened, across the length and breadth of South Africa, with total right to kill all other black men. Or whether or not they won't be, and will continue to be governed with restrain, educated, and brought up to a properly domesticated level before they are let loose. That is a problem which has to do with the men who are on the ground, and what they stand up to, and what they surrender to. These various factors.

It's very necessary that you see one, because our predecessors came aground on just this one thing.

But let me tell you right now, that if the fondest hopes of many great powers were realized, and total determinism was granted to every Black in Africa, the Black population of Africa would be reduced to 50% within a year.

There is the human brain. Well, you think I'm kidding. There's a brain. And I hope you realize that this is all they study in psychology. They study the brain.

Who is it [that] wants this many men to die? And that's the question you ask.

Now, this stuff – this stuff is pretty – it's pretty ploppy. Now, it is – happens to be one of the things that is studied in the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

Before the coming of the White man, the population of the Bantu peoples was very small, because he kept himself killed off. One tribe would go running over the heads of the other tribe with these very weapons which I'm holding in my hand here. They'd wipe out whole tribes, whole villages, they were like armies of ants, they just swarmed and swooped down upon everything and slaughtered every man, woman, and child in their path. Millions of Blacks died this way! And the White man came along and kept them from fighting. Started civilizing them. The last time the Bantu did this was 1879. Not even a hundred years ago!

This brain is a shock absorber which prevents electronic currents from injuring the beingness of the person. It's an electronic shock absorber and people have them in their skulls. If you were to touch your skull at this moment – please do, touch your skull at this moment – realize one of these brains is under it. Would any of you like to – to tes – ?

Now that is something for you to understand. Because it hasn't been but yesterday.

Now, this is the brain, and this purpose of the brain is to arrest impulses and prevent them from causing severe pain and injury. That is actually its basic purpose. Various parts of this brain are supposed to do guidance of currents and are supposed to connect up into the inner control mechanisms of the individual. But they do less so than is commonly believed.

Who wants all these Black men to die? Who are the evil people of this world? Same question. We understand that the world right now is being given a great deal of propaganda on the subject of overpopulation, we're told that we're going to get all overpopulated. Now, is this freedom kick a bid to prevent overpopulation? What is this?

Those studies in psychology which tended to demonstrate this, were taken from war casualties. If the brains of war veterans were injured in certain places and the war veteran could not move certain portions of the body, they then assumed that the brain controlled those portions of the body. And that is how the brain control pattern was made.

But on the subject of overpopulation I have asked myself several times "Who will be the overpopulation?". You? Me? The fellow who doesn't agree? Who is the overpopulation? What is this idea that we mustn't have overpopulation? What is this? Where did this come from?

However, in Dianetics and Scientology we have restored control of those portions even though that part of the brain remained missing.

I personally, in dealing with plant experiments in England, demonstrated that it would be rather easy to grow about 5 times the amount of foodstuff in England as is grown there right this minute. It'd be perfectly easy to do this by erecting dams in South Africa, only 15% of their land is arable, by preserving their rains and using all their subterranean sources, and building up various reactor power units, and so on. The country could, well, it could raise, I don't know, 20, 30, 40 times the produce that it's raising right now and it's very productive. The whole of Central Africa was not at all until a few Whites went in there and were subsidized by England in order to open up a plateau and grow some things and so forth. And they made progress, agriculturally.

So there's the human brain and it's in the skull and it's one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. Okay?

The Sahara could be recovered again, I remember when it was wiped out, if you pardon me for harroping(???) on the Whole Track. A fellow the name of Belisarius and Justinian wiped them out. It could all be put back together again. As far as that's concerned, all you'd have to undo is some of these silly customs that are used in India and China under the heading of, ha, agriculture and get them to grow something and they wouldn't even feel they're overpopulated.

Audience: Okay.

What is this talk about it? It hasn't anything to do with food! Why, we're throwing food in the oceans! Here? Isn't real, is it? If we're at an over-surplus, and we aren't even exploiting the United States to the degree of raising food.

Okay.

So what is this kick called overpopulation? Is it an attempt to keep you from getting another body? Or is it because there are areas of man that just hate man? And can't to see him around so they decide that the best thing to do is to put out a lot of propaganda that permits him to wipe him out.

If anybody'd like to inspect those, he can later. Okay?

What is this kick "overpopulation"? As far as South Africa is concerned, the final thing I will say, which is probably very shocking to you, is there isn't any trouble in South Africa. There isn't any trouble. The only problems they've got in South Africa is the idea that they have problems. There isn't as much crime in South Africa as there is in Washington D.C. This becomes fascinating, because it's probably the most peaceful country on Earth. It is peaceful. And the Bantu is working, and the Government is working, and everybody's happy, but there are a lot of people around saying "Yow yow yow yow yow! Look at all the Trouble! Look at all the upsets! [Unintelligible]"

All right. Now, that's one lecture, and we're not going to give you the full lectures of these things, but don't you think it makes the man in the street green when he recognizes the situation. No racial prejudice guides this at all. I mean there's no racial prejudice involved in this.

I'm not necessarily approving or disproving of South African policies, as a matter of sober fact, I believe their policy is slightly dangerous. I believe if they bring the Bantu up to a level of civilization and give him a total vote, I believe they will fall short of bringing him up to that level that they desire and will yet him the vote. And will yet wipe out White civilization in South Africa. I believe that this is a high probability that will occur. But it will occur because the Nationalist people are too kind and too decent, not because they are too rough.

This is another lecture of the series of the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

The picture is an entirely different picture than one would expect, and it's very amusing to be an American, in the midst of South Africa, very very amusing.

By the way, these lectures have an exact pattern. They go this way.

I am making good success with learning Zulu. As a matter of fact while I was at that high school, the English teacher, a Black Bantu looked at me and he said to me "Ah, hmm. How do you do Doctor?" and then he said to his class instantly, you know, about 40 persons, teenage class, "Here is an American! And I'm going to ask him to say something to you in American! Now, Doctor Hubbard would you say something to him in American? Say something to the class!". And you know me. [laughter] In Zulu, in perfectly good Zulu, I said to them "Well thank you very much! I am very glad to be here! Good day!". These Bantu sat there, you know, round-eyed. They weren't expecting to hear Zulu, and they heard Zulu, and then you never saw a joke fall flatter. [laughter] They were reading The Hound of the Baskervilles by A. Conan Doyle, which was their lesson of the day. So, I gave them a talk on The Hound of the Baskervilles by A. Conan Doyle, in English, even in American. And they were all very erudited, but to this day I don't any of them realized that I said something to them in Zulu. [Laughs]

One is a description and definition of Dianetics and Scientology. Mostly just a definition of Scientology, such as Scientology is the study of knowing how to know and is a study of the human mind, and so forth.

But oh, kidding aside on this, the White South African, deserves my greatest admiration as of course the Scientologist there. The country is full of Scientologists. There are lots of them. And, from the Government, because it doesn't have any Communist infiltration or propaganda hitting it in the teeth all the time, Scientology doesn't get knocked in the head. After I was persona grata with most of the Government the head of the South African Psychological Association decided that we were going too far, and got very angry about it, and told some people in authority that he was now going to write letters to the Prime Minister and all the Cabinet Ministers, telling them what a bad person I was, and what a terrible subject Scientology is. The only trouble is, I had been talking to them, via central organizations for years, and for months I had been fast friends with Cabinet Ministers in South Africa. He didn't get very far. And I think they consider he's a little odd and he now probably is on the suspects list.

Then the second statement of the lecture is that if you finish this course, you get a course completion certificate because they keep forgetting it, and they'll stop attending lectures. That is to say they'll miss a lecture or two or something like that, thinking they can make it up later and still get a certificate, which they can't.

But my hat particularly is off to the White South African because he's been pretty scared from time to time. He's been jarred by lying press in his own country and so forth. He's been holding the fork any way he can, and these chaps realize that in Scientology they have an answer to ability, that a person who can ring control and quietness to his own area is very desirable to have in South Africa and they recognize that Scientology does this. Scientology, right now, has in two cognates a contest going on. Australia claims it is going to be Scientology country on Earth, and South Africa claims that it is going to be. So they can fight about between them. But these are great people, and that's a wonderful part of the world. You ought to know these people, you would find that of all the peoples of worth you would be able to talk to them the easiest.

The next statement is a description of what we're covering, this date. So it'd be the human brain. "We're going to cover the human brain. The human brain is something or other, something or other, and the psychologists have studied it, and they think it's this and that, and actually here…"

But here, we have, a very serious lecture to close this particular day on. Probably you're not particularly interested in this particular subject, beyond the fact that there could be this many lies told and believed this firmly about a country which weren't based in fact.

Next is the thing itself, described and demonstrated. That is followed by having half of the audience find in the other half of the audience the thing described, and then, turnabout, have the other half find in the first half the thing described.

But more importantly, more importantly, I tried to give you some sort of an idea about what I've been up to. I haven't been doing anything, I've just been observing and making friends. And that's one of the better things to do in the world.

Then there is a break and then they come back for a brief question discussion period and definitions, just to make sure they found out what this thing was, and that is the end of that particular lecture.

Of course, I've been very busy technically, and I've been very busy central organization-wise, and I have a few hats that I wear. But of course one of these hats isn't trying to pat South Africa on the back one way or the other. It is just telling you what I have observed about them. These sentiments may not be popular but ask yourself why they aren't popular. Because I've simply told you that there is a country on Earth which has a lot of decent people that are doing their best. And if these words be treason, make the best of them.

Do you get the exact pattern of this lecture? It is a pattern of demonstration of things. It has nothing to do with their philosophic aspect whatsoever.

But you've had a very gimmicked up day, haven't you? Lots of gimmick created today, you don't get any tomorrow. In the evening seminar however, I'm about to have sprung upon you, if the seminar leaders will assemble, up here in the dressing room, I will tell them what to spring on you. Because there's a brand-new process, brand new one, and I think you might have a lot of fun, one and all, running it, on a couple seminars tonight. It's a process that does everything. Doesn't necessarily clear anybody, it isn't necessarily an undercut or anything, but it's HAS Co-Audit Process No. 1, and I think you ought to get used to it because we no longer use un-co-audits, the processes which we will be using on HCC Clearing Courses. We've got a brand-new series of processes which are used, only and entirely on Co-Audits, I think you might be interested in it so we're going to use some of them on you in the seminar.

Now, here is one of these things. And this is the way we demonstrate them. The human nervous system. If we were giving this in the lecture, I'd give you the definition of Scientology, and I would give you the fact that you would get a certificate if you finished the course successfully. I would give you the statement concerning the nervous system and then let you find nervous systems in each other, probably by hitting the reflex points, or your knees and things of that character.

While I hope that I haven't bored you totally stiff with all the matters of politics and other things, and I hope that tomorrow you will have survived the seminar tonight. Because you are the guinea pigs, if you can't run this we'll abandon the whole project.

But let us suffice here that we have a puppet. Here is this puppet. And this puppet, of course, in the hands – my hands here – can do various things and jump around and so on, and look fairly live.

Thank you very much for coming to the congress and for being here today. Be sure to appear at the seminar, I will see you at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, thank you.

But here's the human nervous system demonstrated. If you'll notice as I move this bar here, I move two black threads which you can see easily against my white coat.

And now as I move those two threads one way or the other, we see the two feet go jumping up and down. Is that right?

Now, as I move this – as I move other cords and send messages down these lines, we get an accompanying dancing of the puppet.

Now, we can move the head, we can move the arms, and so forth. As we move one of these strings, we move that. Those are control lines. This could be called the nervous system. The nervous system also serves as a warning and a pain absorption system as well as a control system. Those three things are the things contained in a nervous system: warning, control and arrest of pain.

Now, a nervous system stops pain from reaching the individual rather than accelerates it. If you didn't have a nervous system that channeled it and slowed it down, it would probably damage the limb area or the body area far more, and so a nervous system is a pain absorption system.

As we noticed that we pull a string, something jumps here. Now, if we were giving this lecture full out, I would simply have half of you find in the other half of you reflexes of one kind or another, or get you to move the other fellow's arm and make him move the arm, and so on.

Actually, it becomes rather clear to the individual that he is moving the arm, if you get him to do it for a little while, and that he's using some kind of a string mechanism in order to do so.

There is a lecture on the human nervous system which of course knocks out about two years of the college.

Okay. So much for that fella.

Now, you think that – you think that you'd quickly run out of these things. Now, I'm not going to demonstrate to you the most obvious things in the world. One is the human body. Very obvious. That's a thing. The other is the physical universe. That's just a thing. And it's demonstrable. It exists. It is. But, much more important to us, there is the lock, the secondary and the engram, and these are certainly things. If you've ever made one bite somebody, you realize there is something there; not a belief.

Oh, it used to drive me mad. As late as 1951,1 was still finding old Dianeticists around who believed that an engram was an idea somebody had. And it was just about all I could do to keep my cotton-pickin' hands off of them and keep from throwing them into birth or something, you know? Or roll them up in a prenatal ball, and say, "Well, it's just an idea you've got. Get out of it yourself."

Now, we have – we have these – these – these items. They're very demonstrable items. Actually, in the lecture series itself, we'll have an 8 millimeter motion picture of an incident taking place that is a lock, another incident which is a secondary and another incident which is an engram and also another incident which shows the overt-motivator sequence of an engram. These are all things.

Then we turn the audience around (each – each one of these is a lecture) and we have them find in one another these things. You would be fascinated that on a raw audience, just culled off the street, how – any engrams they can find and how often they curl up in a ball and go through the sperm sequence and do all sorts of wild things just like they used to in 1950.

Of course, those are very obvious items, aren't they? Well, a less obvious item is the overt-motivator sequence. It is a thing. The overt-motivator sequence.

It is a very low order – let me tell you something about this and give you a demonstration of it – it is a very low order sequence.

It falls out when the person ceases to be as reactive, because it is based upon and is a Q and A with Newton's law of interaction. For every action there's an equal and contrary reaction.

The overt-motivator sequence. If you do something to Joe, then Joe, of course, is going to do something to you, isn't he?

Well, the overt-motivator sequence is a little more serious than this. The plain law of interaction is that if I take the red ball and drop it against the yellow ball, then the yellow ball is going to come back and hit the red ball, isn't it? Watch. See? That's Newton's law of interaction at work. And people who have gone down and are beginning to Q-and-A totally with the physical universe use this law as their exclusive method of operation. Revenge, ha-ha-ha. "You hit me, I'll hit you. Ha-ha-ha-ha." "National defense: If we get enough atomic weapons, we will, of course, be able to prevent people from throwing atomic weapons at us."

Think it over. If we got enough atomic weapons, what's going to happen to us? We're going to get clobbered with atomic weapons. Right?

Audience: Right.

Somebody talks about the fact that you can't lick the commies, for instance. You can use this same thing, this same item to lick commies with. They use propaganda all the time. Just use their propaganda. Commie propaganda? Red. Here it goes. Ta! Right in the teeth yet. And it's true; the one thing they can't stand is propaganda. Anticommunist propaganda, and man, do they curl up in a ball.

And there is this thing called the overt-motivator sequence. There is more to it than just Newton's law of interaction, which is why they didn't make it work in the 17th century; because there's more to it.

If Joe hits Bill, he now believes he should be hit by Bill. More importantly, will actually get a somatic to prove he has been hit by Bill, even though Bill hasn't hit him. He will make this law true regardless of the actual circumstances. And people go around all the time justifying, saying how they've been hit by Bill, hit by Bill, hit by Bill.

"My mother beat me every day." You put them on the E-Meter. You say, "Did your mother ever beat you?" The E-Meter never wiggles.

You say, "Now think it over. Well, just exactly – give me one time when your mother beat you."

"I can't remember any."

"All right. Now, think hard. Think hard. Something about your mother and beating you and so forth."

"Oh ho. I just remember, I hit her with a baseball bat once."

Yeah. But this has ever since expressed itself as a necessity to believe that Mother has beaten him, because this law must exist. Got the idea?

Even though it hasn't occurred, human beings on a low reactive basis will insist that it has occurred. And that is the overt-motivator sequence.

If a fellow does an overt, he will then believe he's got to have a motivator or that he has had a motivator. If he hits somebody, he will tell you immediately that he has been hit by the person, even when he has not been. Got it?

Audience: Yes.

That's another one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. And a very valuable thing it is to know.

You hear the wife saying how the husband beats her every day. Look under her pillow for the brickbat that she uses because just sure as the devil, if she's saying that the yellow ball has hit the red ball, notice that the red ball had to hit the yellow ball first. Got it?

Audience: Yes.

Well, that's another one of these twenty things.

Now, to show you the physical universe, of course, would be too easy, but just remember that that's one of the things just as the body's one of the things. But we have certain scales, very definite, certain scales and certain cycles which we use in Dianetics and Scientology, and they are not figure-figure cycles of any kind whatsoever. They are not figure-figure cycles.

The truths of the matter is – you know, any one of you could probably do this particular one better than I can – but I want to show you here, here is a no created thing. It's just a piece of paper. (Of course, it's gotten created.) But we are going to show you now a cycle of action in terms of create-survive-destroy.

There is such a thing as the cycle of action. Its earliest genus of create-survive-destroy comes actually out of the fourth hymn of the Veda; about 10,000 years old. It describes it much more lengthily, and so on, and we use it today on the basis of the cycle of action. We call it the create-survive-destroy cycle. That is its crudest form, and actually is only an apparency, but is nevertheless a demonstrable thing.

I want to show you how this works. Here we have nothing created. We just have a piece of paper. Now I am going to create something. As I say, any of you could do this better than I.

The making of a boat or a hat, of course, has its complications. Some people prefer them larger and some people prefer them smaller, some more complicated and some less complicated. But here, so far, we have gone this far, and now we will go just a little further. (This is probably going to cause an upset with the management when I get through with it.)

Well, you see here, I am creating something rather laboriously. Are you with me? All right. I'm busy creating a boat. Having a large sailorish background, and noticing several in the audience who also have, we will make a freighter. There's a boat. Okay?

Audience: Yes.

Now, we're demonstrating this thing called a cycle of action. And there is a boat created which is now surviving. There it's surviving. Look at it. It still sits there. It is continuing. After having been created, it continues. There it is. It's busy continuing, innocent as the driven snow.

But watch it. What's it doing? It's surviving. There it is. What's it doing?

Audience: Surviving.

Oh, you're convinced now.

Audience: Yeah.

Well, all right, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, we have another step which I would like to show you. Because the cycle of action has three steps. Okay?

All right. I hope people have fire extinguishers here. We are now entering the phase of destroy. Correct?

Well, at least I have enough inflammable chemicals to throw on it here. Okay? Cycle of action. Create-survive-destroy. Are you convinced that the third stage is destroy?

Audience: Yes.

That's pretty good. You learn fast.

One of the things of the physical universe. One of its basic fundamentals.

Some of you out there realize that I am not in keeping with the fire regulations. Oh, well, if it burns up, it's all right. There's plenty of firemen in the place. Burning. There it goes. Now, what's the cycle of action.

Audience: Create-survive-destroy.

Do you think a green audience would understand that?

Audience: Yes. Sure.

And they think they understood something there about life, wouldn't they? Now, if each one in the audience was turned to another one, half of the audience was turned to the other half of the audience, and they had to find examples of the cycle of action in the other audience half – you know, plague them, "Give me an example of the cycle of action," see? "Give me another example of the cycle of action." Then they turn about: "Give me an example of the cycle of action." Actually, it'll move them on the time track. Do you realize that?

Now, it moved, didn't it? There it is. There it is. Beautiful white sheet of paper, and we created a boat and the boat became a survival factor. And then the survival factor disappeared and we had the remainder of it, simple, huh?

It's rather fascinating, when you look the thing over, that you can demonstrate these things. Now you see why I had this set up as a laboratory setup. The physical sciences: We are looking at the physical sciences, and the practicalities of the physical sciences are right here.

Actually, there are twenty of these items. I'm not even going to try to give you a list of these things for the excellent reason that I haven't got my notes.

But I'll give you another example, another example, which is probably the hardest lecture to confront giving, but is actually the most responsive as far as an audience at large is concerned. And that is to demonstrate to people the existence of a body.

I had the awfullest argument with Pete, D of T, Johannesburg, on this subject. He kept coming in and asking me what he was going to say when he got to the body. And I kept telling him, "Well…" He was trying to demonstrate these things in people. He didn't have this at first. He finally got this thing taped down pretty good, and on a body – but a body, he couldn't get the idea of what he was to do with a body. When a body came along and he was to do something with a body, what was he supposed to do with this body?

"Well," I says, "you get him up on the stage, and you show people a body. You know, here's a body, and you point out various things about the body like, here's a hand, and so on. And then you have people in the audience find bodies. Half the audience gets the other half of the audience to find bodies. And this is what you do in bodies."

And he said, "That certainly doesn't sound like much."

Now, the oddity about all of this is the simplest things are the most demonstrable things are the most neglected things in life. It is because everybody got so fantastically complicated that they missed this continuously, on and on and on. The whole science of the mind as it sat there was missed because it was all figure-figure and it was all supercomplicated and it was all over everybody's heads. And one of the things that they tell you today at the university, they tell you, "Of course, nobody can really understand anything about it, and it's much too complicated for you to find out anything about."

Well, that's the first lie. Is there anything complicated in this demonstration of the cycle of action? Well, it's all that simple. And that's why everybody missed it. And that's why, if you ever give this course yourself, you're going to occasionally miss the boat because you're going to get too significant.

Poor Pete. He had this vast mob of people, all of them green and so forth, and they came into the hall, and so he says, "Well, you know. I'm a martyr. I'll do what Ron said. It'll probably be all right because he said it, but there's no telling what can happen."

So he got a fellow up on the stage. And the fellow – he pointed out, he says, all of a sudden, he said – the fellow's hand – he says, "Well," he says, "do you see that skin?" (It's a body demonstration.) He said, "Do you see that skin? There's meat under it."

A fellow says, "By golly, there is, isn't there, you know." And the fellow says, "Aw, gee." He says, "I won't dare but be able to look at a girl walking down a street without realizing I'm looking at some meat."

And Pete made this person – body – walk up and down a little bit and said, "You see how the hands move and the legs moves, and so forth. And it's a body, and it has a head and it has hips and legs and arms and hands and its head and it moves this way and it is a body. All right. Thank you very much."

And, well, I think he brought another body up, a female body, and showed that it had similar things, but was different. And then he had half of his audience finding bodies in the other half of the audience. And in the first two minutes of play he had about half of these people pooom! out of their heads, which, of course, happens every time you ask some greenhorn to look and find some bodies. He's not used to it, and he'll – they saw the insides of their heads, you know, and they saw the backs of their heads and bodies and they found out they were different than bodies and there it was. He had also demonstrated the human spirit which, by the way, is not one of the things listed.

Well, this is the brand-new course; will be an evening course of about twenty different evenings at about two evenings a week.

Anybody could give one of the things. All you've got to do is look up and find the subject matter of Dianetics and Scientology and show people that they are things and that they exist, and that you are dealing with a practical science. You're not dealing with an esoteric – esoteric, philosophical treatise on thin air. You're dealing with the things of life.

Once a person has seen an engram and seen that the thing bites and answers up a lot of his difficulties in existence, once he's seen a secondary or a lock, something like this, he's seen these various things, he knows he's looking at the parts of the human mind and he recognizes, completely aside – because in no part of this course do you tell anybody even that you can handle these things or that you can get any results from them or that you do handle them, except maybe to say, "Well, if you ever want to become a professional auditor, why you'd learn how to handle these various things which we're demonstrating to you." And you'd let it go at that.

But you just show them the parts. And you say, "These are the parts of life."

Of course, these people will go out and they'll run into some old-time 19th-century psychologist and they will say to him, and they'll say to him, "Well, I'm up in your field now. I'm studying all about the anatomy of the human mind."

And the psychologist will say, "Where?"

And he'll say, "Oh, down there at the Scientology Organization. I'm studying there down at the center; studying about it. Ha-ha. It's pretty good, you know. Pretty good."

"Well, did they teach you anything about the brain?"

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We learned all about the brain."

"Well, did you learn about the human nervous system?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We learned all about the human nervous system."

"Oh, well, don't you realize that it takes six years to learn all the parts of the mind?" the psychologist will say. "It takes six years and then you don't know anything, you know."

And your student will say, "Well, it's what the Instructor told us. Told us that it – you have to study quite a bit to learn more about it."

"Oh, you're taking some lay course. Oh, how nice. Well, I guess that's all right."

Like a psychoanalyst that came down through the test section. Psychoanalyst brought in his patient to get tested and evaluated. And we tested his patient and evaluated the patient. And the psychoanalyst sat there, and he says, "Well, it's taken me about 2Y2 years to figure all those things out about that fellow. And you figured them all out in about a half an hour. That's right. That's right. That's what's wrong with him. I agree with what you have said is wrong with him. Yeah. I agree with that. Is it all right if I go in and get tested?"

Well, similarly, the psychologist could come down and attend this course and go away thinking well, maybe there was some more for him to learn about the human mind, thinking the course was all right.

It isn't something that'd necessarily rub him the wrong way, but it'd sure expand his horizon off the figure-figure, and by getting psychologists to teach that course, you of course will do such a thing as probably take the whole field of psychology.

But it's an interesting course, don't you think? It's a new look at things, isn't it? If this was a four-day congress, I'd lay the whole thing out for you.

As it is, the only thing I can do for you is to give the listings and the bulletins and give you a publication on the thing and wish you luck.

Male voice: Thanks.

Oh, I don't really think you'll need much luck. You don't need all this paraphernalia to go on with. But the human mind, of course, is a sort of a bag of tricks. It's the bag of tricks that a thetan has developed to keep himself from getting bored to death in this universe, and has then considered too complicated to understand and has gotten himself into serious trouble with.

One of the first things you'll find the public will listen to is an exact list of the parts of a human mind as I've more or less demonstrated them to you here, except there are twenty different parts. Did you like that?

Audience: Yes. Very much.

All right.

Thank you.
