This is continuing the first lecture, but it’s Lecture Two, second hour, evening class, December the 11th.

All right, let’s go in for something here on this third hour of December 11th, afternoon. Let’s go in for something very much more specific. And I’m going to give you your straight rundown on this quite rapidly on this page 38, List of Processing.

Uh… speaking about Rising Scale Processing, there is the second method of doing Rising Scale Processing. Don’t underestimate this method, don’t under-evaluate it. This method is senior to any flow processing or engram processing that you can do.

„All processes are based upon the original observation that an individual could have implanted in him by hypnosis and removed at will any obsession or aberration, compulsion, desire, inhibition which you could think of – by hypnosis.“ Hypnosis, then, was the wild variable; sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t work. It worked on some people; it didn’t work on other people.

You can do this on anybody… for the excellent reason that they don’t require any information or any qualification of the scale that they are working. You get some preclear who is stumbling in out of the dark of the street and uh… comes into your brightly lighted web, uh… he shouldn’t have to be educated ad nauseam about what you’re doing. So uh… you just start to do this and you start to do that, and you don’t bother much, really, to educate your preclear.

Any time you have a variable that is as wild as this, study it. The essence of solving problems is the essence of solving one against the other: the highest certainty that you can reach, versus the most variable thing you could reach.

Truth of the matter is, on education of the preclear, it’s really just a little bit of cruelty to make a preclear a theta clear and drop it. It’s just… just a little bit of a cruelty to do so, because he starts going up the line, he wants to keep on going up the line. Or if he’s not going to go up that line, he’s going to go in the opposite vector so fast, but you’re not going to have to worry about him. You’re either going to… you’re going to fix him up with some kind of processing.

Well, I had a high certainty already – I had survival. Got that in

You can get him with mock-ups and that sort of thing just as fast in the head as out for chronic somatics and uh… little abnormalities of various sorts; such as, he’s a cashier at the bank and he has this obsession that makes him put five thousand dollars in his pocket every night. Uh… you could get mock-ups. He’s just worried about money so you mock up making money and unmaking money, and spending money, and then getting money of various patterns and shapes and money the sizes of newspapers and plastering rooms with money and the body with money and weighing the body down with money and manufacturing it and tearing it up and throwing it away and getting more. And curing the scarcity of money for him, in other words. You could do that with great ease. But, if you get a person up to theta clear and then you don’t do anything else for him, God help him, really. He’ll move in, he’ll get in trouble. He wo… won’t know what he’s doing, he won’t have any kind of an education. And it’s something like… like uh… you… you’re… you’re playing midwife to a thetan and you get him born and you say, „The dickens with him; we’re not going to educate him. We’re just going to let him grow up like Topsy,“ only he isn’t going to grow anyplace. He’s going to fool around and stumble around. He’s not going to know the laws behind all of this stuff. And he’s not going to have any idea of what his capabilities should or shouldn’t be. And he gets enlarged and swollen ideas about how big he is, and the next thing you know he’s changed… going to change the affairs of the world. And then the only trouble is that the moment he’s crossing the Pyrenees he trips and falls flat on his face and he crawls home. Or he gets wandering around some place out in a much larger sphere and he runs into some place where there are lights flashing, a light hits him in the eye and he doesn’t come home.

1938 or before that. And uh… I’d studied the endocrine system and structure at will. Oh, just… oh, just studied it and studied it and studied it. I spent a year doing nothing but studying the endocrine system, trying to find out if anybody know what happened to the endocrine system. The British solved the endocrine system better than the Americans had. And it was a… really some kind of an alarm, or monitoring system of the body. But it did not respond to matter. It couldn’t be monitored very much by matter, but boy, could it be monitored by mind.

You’ve still cured him of a number of things; but for… I leave you to… to… you’ll find out that you’ll be educating them. You’ll be telling them… you’ll be telling them very carefully… you’ll feel something like… like an old, old soldier telling the young recruit – something of this sort.

Wooo! You could take somebody and you could remove a compulsion or an inhibition and his endocrine balance would just go Zing! – way up along the line. Or you could hypnotize him and selectively repress, if you please, almost any gland he had. And then knock that repression out and turn the repression on again. Handle it at will with direct command and hypnosis. That’s function, you understand. And you could feed him hormones and you could feed him anything else you could think of and you couldn’t materially change his behavior.

For that reason if you’re not a theta clear and you’re doing a lot of auditing uh… it… it gets to be rather upsetting to you to be telling this theta clear about what’s coming along because… and so on. All of a sudden he picks up and he starts running like a freight train and you wonder where the heck you are. And he just widens the gap. But he’s still not educated. He’s quicker at picking things up and all that sort of thing.

So I had solved the basic problem of what did you study? Structure or function? If it had been function, I would have gone into function on an engineering level and uh… tried to knock the problem apart from that angle. It turned out that wasn’t it. It was: structure was uh… not the answer or the road to an answer because you couldn’t do anything with structure. You could use the most rigorous tests you could set up and observe as close as you wanted to, and nothing happened. Nobody’d ever tried to do this before in the history of the examination of man. I want you to understand that that job had not been done.

Well, anyway, Rising Scale Processing is not a mock-up process. It is strictly postulate processing, but you use it on a rising scale basis. Your preclear comes in off the street. You don’t educate him. You don’t tell him anything. You merely say, „All right, now there are two conditions: Surviving and Dead. Is that right?“

Nobody divided the problem into two halves – structure, function – and had then selectively taken each one of these halves and seen if you could monitor structure and function by treating just one half of it.

And he says, „That’s right.“

In other words, could you change structure and function by handling only structure? That was a question that should have been asked. And then, could you handle structure and function by handling only function?

„Now, let’s get the concept of being dead. You got the concept of being dead? All right. Now let’s shift it to… towards surviving.“

Well, you have to break a problem down before it can become a problem, so maybe nobody even know there was a problem here. But certainly, there weren’t any answers to it. I don’t make any reservations on that. Louis Pasteur’s work is a shining example of uh… accuracy in a field which is otherwise just flop. Uh… even Pasteur, he should have looked a little closer. He had all the tools to look with.

„Oh, yes. I can do that.“

What happens to an experimenter or an investigator is something very interesting. He becomes so convinced… he becomes so convinced that he has to be right, that he doesn’t bother to look. There’s a good dissertation on this – Will Durant once wrote a beautiful dissertation on this – they find something and then they’ve got to rush around like mad and wave this thing around and never look any further.

„All right, let’s do it again. Get the concept of being dead. Now shift it toward the concept of surviving. You got that?“

They want to hit an action spot, accomplish it, and there they go. In other words, they’re running on a very short cycle. As soon as they start something, they’ve got to stop it. You’ve got to run on a long cycle to tackle a long problem like this.

„Yeah, yeah, I did that.“

So, here you had all these people running around – they… oh, operating and chopping and shooting people with things and… and oh God! on and on and on and on and on – without ever having taken the problem apart.

„All right, now get the concept of being dead and shift it toward surviving.“

Well, all it required was, we took the problem apart, just compartmented it. All right, we find out… oh boy! were there some crews operating on this! There were a lot of people working on this. How do you change mental behavior and structural action by treating structure? Oh, they were shooting… they had people out of these Japanese prison camps and so forth, and they were shooting them and they were giving them narcosynthesis uh… and doing all sorts of weird things in various directions. And it all boiled down to a structural address to the problem.

„Ooww!“ he says.

Well, to an engineer it’s appalling for anybody to work on a problem… to even work on a problem if he doesn’t even have the design. „Let… let’s work on this thing before we answer the question „What’s it for?“ – you know?

„What happened when you do that?“

It sounds so idiotic to an engineer. We say, „What’s it for?“

„Something went ‘ping!’ or something.“

And they say, „Well, there isn’t any reason for it and there’s no goals. We’re all in apathy anyhow and it doesn’t matter. And the problem’s too complex.“

„Well, you blew a little ridge.“ You set him up one way or the other.

You ever ask somebody about this: „How about working on the problem of the mind, trying to do something about the problem of the mind?“ „Well, that’s too complex.“ You say, „Rut you’re working on the problem of the mind.“

Now let’s go on to the next one. Let’s get… there’s a scale that goes between a gradient scale, that is to say, degrees of being right and degrees of being wrong. „All right, now let’s get the concept of being wrong.“

„Well yes, I know. But it’s too complex – there’s no s… real solution to it.“

„Yes.“

In other words, you’re in a complete defeatism on the problem. Well, how does anybody ever solve a problem if he knows it can’t be solved as his first postulate? Nuts to you brother! And I didn’t realize that it was even… it was that bad for a long time. I… I just found out it was that bad just increasingly. I started out first believing that there were a lot of people who were doing something on this. All right.

„All right, shift it up toward being right. Now get as close as you can to being right.“

I turned around and I had hypnotism. I had a little advantage there because I was using hypnotism that I had learned in India. And that doesn’t bear too much resemblance to Western hypnotism. You’ve got variety of hypnotism there. There are ninety thousand ways of putting a guy out – I swear there must be that many ways. I mean, you can just run on and on and on. There’s various things you do; you treat the perceptic lines in certain ways and guys go „Ka-boom!“

„All right – yeah.“

For instance, I had a… very amusing one time; I talked to the staff at Saint Elizabeth’s. If you can place somebody in time and space – we can put it out now – if you can place somebody in time and space with great accuracy and then put a monotony on it, damnedest things happen.

„All right, now get wrong – now wrong. Shift it toward being right.“

So I talked to these people from Saint Elizabeth’s, a spin-bin down around Washington, talked to the staff. And I was very careful to talk to the staff in a certain way – and put ‘em to sleep.

„Yeah!“

Uh… hypnosis bears a considerable resemblance to sleep and a person knows… any auditor knows when he’s dealing with a hypnotic subject. Any auditor should know something about hypnosis because it’s a very standard set of something or other. There are various things that will happen. The breathing will become shallow, and uh… the next thing that happens is their eyes will roll back up in their heads, like that, or roll down like this. And their eyelids will go flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker. And uh… if you do anything that makes people do that, and you’ve got them hypnotized, that’s all.

„Now,“ you say, „get being wrong.“

There’s various methods used. You just capture their perceptic line and you’re the only one in whom they’re on agreement. You’ve just separated their agreement from the rest of the world and they think you’re the only one, see? Very simple.

„Hey, I can’t get that anymore.“

Then be careful never to remind them that there’s any other part of the world with which to agree – don’t do as I do here. I talk about this field and that field and some other field. And it spots it around, and it requires… you… you go all over the doggoned space area, see? Well, that keeps people awake, and it keeps them alert and they keep learning. Otherwise they just get to be a phonograph record. You could just turn them on and they go „Yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap“ and they run the whole lecture off verbatim and they haven’t got anything there at all. All right. Now hypnotism could then selectively vary structure. Anybody for the last 120 years could have carried out this research project. This is not a special project and it’s not anything unroutine. This was carried out as a routine piece of research. Routine.

„Well, get the concept of being right.“

What do you do to a problem to solve it? First you ask the question. Before that you have to assume there’s probably a solution. No reason to work on problems if you don’t think there’s any solution. You just assume there’s a solution, then you go ahead and solve ‘em.

„Yeah, I can get that.“

And then you take the bodies of data that you have and you cut them up in compartments and make sure that the compartments don’t get confused on you. In this case, we cut up structure and function; we didn’t say, „What are we going to use this bridge for?“ and then neglect completely uh… how… what we were going to build it out of. And we didn’t uh… we… we… we… we chopped the problem in half, in other words, so that each half would be all: structure down to function and structure. Function down to function and structure. One or the other probably did it. It certainly wasn’t both, although it could be this third one – it’s a team. Does it respond to teamwork? The hell it does!

You’re shifting his postulates using extreme ranges. So you’re just jumping from the bottom to the top, ka-boom, bang! Ka-boom, bang! Something’s going to break.

Guys sick and dying and brokenhearted and insane and unable to heal their bodies and everything else, so it isn’t working as a team.

What do you know? Give a girl… give a girl whose endocrine system is all shot to the devil an hour of this processing. Kind of boring – very little randomity to it. You just give her an hour of this processing. You just take your gradient scale here and, „Let’s get the idea of no responsibility at all. Now let’s get the idea of complete responsibility.“ You’d think she’d go down scale on that. She doesn’t.

All right, then therefore, they’re probably separate functions. So let’s… let’s see if we can solve it that way. Hypnotism varied the hell out of the endocrine system; the endocrine system apparently was some kind of a meter. You could look at this meter called the „endocrine system“ and you could tell whether something was happening to somebody.

It’s the scale… of course the MEST universe says, „No responsibility is the thing to have and full responsibility is very hard work.“ Nya! That is exactly in reverse. No responsibility is horrible! And full responsibility, of course, is a very light-hearted thing. It’s just in reverses.

So if you varied their mind, you varied their structure. Oh boy! Could you vary their structure. You could take hypnosis and you could selectively shut off, by knowing what these glands influenced, you could shut off that function in the individual.

All right, and then we get the… „Now get the concept of owning nothing. Now get the concept of owning everything. Now let’s shift it between owning nothing and owning everything. Can you get that? Owning nothing.“

You know you can hypnotize somebody and tell him his nose is running? And… and his nose is running. You can just get torrents of mucus running out of his head, just torrents. He could just take handkerchief after handkerchief after handkerchief, and he’ll just get them sopping. You can start a person perspiring on command, and he’ll sweat and sweat and sweat. You can turn him hot; you can turn him cold; you can extend his hearing; you can contract his hearing. You can do anything of these with hypnotism. And boy, it’s just no good at all to find out what something’s wrong with somebody because they’re non compis mentis when they’re hypnotized. They’re just an effect.

„Yeah, it makes me feel sad.“

But you set up this thing and you use this and you use it as a meter – a specialized form of use of the structure/function mechanism of the human body. You become the mind, let them be the structure and the somatic mind, or something of the sort.

„All right, now shift that toward owning everything.“ And you do that shift a few times and you come back here.

Now, can we vary it? Boy, can we vary it! We can make guys fat, we can make guys thin. We can do all sorts of things if you use good hypnotism. But we can’t do it all the time. Why the hell can’t we do it all the time? We find out in the field of structure we can never do it – that’s advisedly stated. It’s just never.

„Now get the concept of being nobody, just nobody at all. Now let’s get the concept of being everybody. Now let’s shift between being nobody to everybody.“

Take the structural approach of electric shock, that’s structural. They give people electric shock. Do you know they haven’t got a record of electric shock ever doing anything for anybody? There isn’t any record. But they do have a record that says that if they didn’t give people electric shocks, they get out of institutions six weeks earlier.

„Now get the concept that never… there’s just no… nothing will ever happen. Let’s get the concept of ‘never’. Now let’s shift it up to the concept of ‘always’.“ They do… do that a few times.

You know that these figures were never collected? You want to know about criminal acts against humanity – go ahead and practice something without ever getting any statistics – hmmmm. That’s interesting, isn’t it?

„Get the concept of being stopped. Now let’s get the concept of starting. Stopped-starting. Get the concept of having hallucinations. All right, let’s get the concept from there of being truth itself. Okay.“

You know that I have the only survey that was ever impartially – and it was really impartially – done on the subject of electric shock. And I hired a guy to do it. He was not interested in Dianetics; he was not interested in psychiatry. He was an investigation publication man and all we did was get all the results there were on the subject of electric shock, wherever they were published by anyone, anywhere. And we collected them all together and drew them up on charts. Didn’t cast any evaluation on them at all, just drew them on the charts to see what the statistics would say. And I’ve just given you the results. We couldn’t find a case anywhere – just a case nowhere – where electric shock had ever improved anybody.

„Now, get the concept of distrusting everything. Now trusting everything.“

We couldn’t even find out where it had selectively quieted people down. We found out that there was a „three-day period“ in electric shock. You gave them a shock every three days; they stayed very tractable, you know – „Duhhh!“

„Trusting everything… trusting,“ they say, „that reminds me of my ex-husband. You know, I could never trust him a minute.“

Now anybody can make a corpse. You can do it with a bullet, but you don’t call bullets therapeutic. You see? So we had to define what’s therapeutic. But you say you can make the person better. Well, did it calm him down and make him happy or anything? No, definitely not.

You say, „Well now, that’s all right. That’s okay. That’s fine. I’m very glad to hear about your ex-husband. Now let’s get that concept.“ Don’t get them straying off.

It gave him a terror of electricity, though. Fixed him up so he wouldn’t use force in any category, made him shed all responsibility for everything. Uh… did interesting things.

You know this theory that a person, if he talked along enough would talk out all of his aberrations is about as sensible as the… if 50 million monkeys were turned loose on 50 million typewriters for 50 million years, they would write all the literature ever written. It doesn’t say what else they’d write. Probably write Time magazine.

You can rehabilitate an electric shock – by the way, the way you repair elec… electric shocks aren’t serious… the way you repair it is just rehabilitate the guy’s ability to mock-up force, that’s all. You don’t even address the electric shocks. He’ll feel a buzz in his head once in a while when you’re doing this, and you just keep mocking up force – standard routine mock-up processing. Electric shock is simply electricity.

Uh… „Now let’s get the concept ‘I know not’, just the concept you know nothing. Now shift it up to the concept ‘I know’. Now let’s get the concept of everything having an effect on you – everything affecting you – just everything affecting you. And then causing things to happen.“

First thing you know – Room! There goes all the electric shocks in the bank. They don’t go suddenly or anything. They just cease to have any effect upon him. So they are really pantywaist when it came to hurting people too. They weren’t even tough enough to hurt people. Prefrontal lobotomy? Fix the guy up so he gets another body.

He’ll say, „I can’t get that. The concept’s too big for me“.

Uh… okay. Now uh… they’re not dangerous. I talk about it merely because it’s a…

You say, „All right, get… get being… being affected by everything by only being affected by what you want to be affected by.“

There… there’s only one thing that really outrages me. I… I get outraged just because I can’t believe it. It just won’t fit into the frame uh… uh of reasoning. It… It’s just one of those things that I’ve always been completely unable to see, is why can’t somebody solve that problem? Uh… this… these problems are all easy, they’re just… just so easy. And yet, something like… you… there’s somebody… he’s in… he’s in bad trouble, see? He’s in bad trouble – he’s starving to death. He… he’s… he hasn’t got anything to eat and he’s getting skin and bone and there he sits. And all that he’s got in front of him is a whole ham and loaves of bread and so forth. And he’s unable to solve the problem of how to get it into his mouth.

„Yeah, I got that. Yeah, that’s good. Yeah, I’ll get that again. Dom-Dom.“

You say, „No! That’s complete idiocy!“

„Now you go over to being nothing – that you don’t exist, to really being. Now let’s shift those concepts.“

So you go at that problem. Anybody who wants to backtrack on that work will find them very interesting material on it. And that’s covered rather full in Book One. It tells the various things you can do to somebody to stop this and start that. So it means what? That there’s some kind of a mechanism by which, if you can get some guy to agree, why then anything can happen. You could make him believe anything if he’ll agree with it. Haaaa! Hmmmm! He has to be in a special state.

„Being nothing – really being. Yeah, I got that.“

All of a sudden you just take a look at the human race – we’re trying to unhypnotize people. We’re trying to wake people up, and it’s simply that: we’re trying to make them higher and higher alert.

„All right, now get the concept of losing everything.“

I… I dare say someday we may have a process which… by which some magical formula or other we simply say… we simply say, „All right, now here you are in a hypnotized state with regard to life and existence, and you’re in a little bit better, more awake condition at this moment than you ordinarily are, but there’s a much awaker condition than this, and the way you awaken somebody out of this condition is to count from five to one and snap your fingers. And if you count from five to one and snap your fingers, a person wakes all the way up. Now when I count from five to one and snap my fingers, you will awake. Five, four, three, two, one – wake up!“ The guy comes into full consciousness. There might be such a… such a process. It would head in that direction.

„Oh, yeah. That’s a sad one.“

By the way, you once in a while do that to a preclear and he gets very startled. „Doiing! The lights just turned up!“ Something like this. All right.

„Now shift that up to winning – winning everything.“

So that’s the kind of modus operandi in which we worked and out of this we discovered something which you can use today. There is a gimmick in the environment called a restimulator. You give a guy an hypnotic implant and you tell him to play with his tie. You tell him any time you play with your tie, he’ll do so and so and then you wake him up. So you adjust your tie, and he does so and so. And pretty soon he says, „I wonder what I’m doing this for? Well, I explain it this way…“ And he’s got some wild explanation that has no bearing on your tie.

„Yeah, I got that one.“

For instance, you’ve said, „Every time I touch my tie,“ when he’s hypnotized, „every time I touch my tie, you will now… you will cough.“

„Now get the concept of everything being the same, whole thing the same, everything the same – to everything being different.“

Okay. So every time you touch your tie he says, „Aha-ahum,“ he says, „awfully drafty out, don’t you think?“

„Yeah, I got that.“

And you say……

„All right. Now, get the concept of… of… of being all possessions – just being possessed and owned entirely. Now let’s shift that from the concept of owning entirely or possessing everything or being everything“ – however you want to put that last line.

And he says, „Aha-ahum.“ Fascinating. And he just keeps this up and you finally wear the button out.

Now what do you do with this next? You go back to ‘dead to survive’ and you just go around in circles with this chart of attitudes, and running the whole scale. Now you… as soon as you’ve gone down to being had or possessed to owning or being, come around here and get ‘dead’ again, to ‘survival’ and ‘wrong to right’ and so on. Get them a few times each. Go around and around. And when you get around to the end of it again, start back at the bottom and shift to the top once more on the first one and the second one and so on. Just keep this up.

Two things you learned: the button can be worn out, and you can have some kind of a gimmick like a tie which will start a guy coughing. Hah!

It will do this: it will boost a person straight out of a Fac One. It’ll just kick him out of Fac One. It is a manhandling process. It just literally takes this guy by his bootstraps and boots him up the tone scale.

But what’s he do? First he rationalizes very generally, then he narrows the rationalization – decides it’s in the room. Then he narrows the room to you and starts to find a little bit of fault maybe with your clothes. And all of a sudden he’ll look at your tie and he’ll suddenly remember and he’ll go „Boom!“

And you can expect such things as this to happen, not as a uniform result, but you can expect it often enough if you keep at this with this Rising Scale process, you can get into a state where all of a sudden, as the person shifts up tone scale they feel a sudden ping! in their head that isn’t any ridge breaking. They feel a shudder and a shake go through their whole body. They feel a sudden warmth and an action taking place in their body which they’ve never had before.

„Oh, it’s that tie! You told me when I was asleep so-and-so, that I would cough every time you touched your tie! Aw, nuts!“

They say, „What on earth is this?“ They say, „I feel like something turned on. I’m… I feel like I’m turned on all of a sudden!

Now that means then that behavior can be transmitted to somebody who is put under a heavy current, and so on, a monotonous current inflow. And he could be put into this state. Doesn’t matter much whether you shot him in the face with a gun and said, „You’re dead“ or you shot him in the face with a gun with a blank cartridge in it and said, „You’re dead.“ Most of the time he’d die if you said, „You’re dead.“

Things are kind of light!“ And so forth. Well, they’ll turn a little bit off again very subsequently, so you have to get them back and do this process for another half an hour or so again. And you’ll probably have to do it several times. And each time they really think they’re hitting the top of the scale every time. They’re not. New ideas turn up, flash through and they are shifting higher and higher on the scale, higher and higher on the scale. They’re getting wider and wider on these two concepts and they’re getting less and less able to get the bottom concept. Until one day you would say, „Now get the idea of being d…“

You get the level of operation, then. It’s just an inflow – boom! It doesn’t matter whether it happens fast. If it happens very fast, you could implant it quick. If it happens slow, you implant it more slowly. It operates in any case.

„How can you get the idea of being dead?“

A man can be knocked out with drugs, he can be knocked out with a blow. He can be hypnotized by physical pain, or by over-perception. Any of these things. So we add these… all these things up and you say, „For heaven’s sakes, these people are going around and they’re falling down and they’re getting unconscious and people are saying, „Well, he’s pretty bad off, and he’s awfully sick! Let’s see if we can dig up any of these experiences when somebody’s unconscious and find out if this is a hypnotic state.“ And you say, „Look at these people are going around and they do act as though they had restimulators in their environment. They… somebody comes in a perfectly warm room and says, „My, how cold it is,“ and that’s terribly aberrated behavior. And I keep observing it at all hands. And I wonder if it has something to do with this ‘pin mechanism’, the restimulator, which is the tie in the hypnotic incident.“

„Well, you just get the idea of being…“

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let’s knock ‘em out colder than a mackerel with physical cause and physical reasons, and we’ll just avoid all the ritual and mumbo-jumbo of hypnotism and we will say, „Whenever I touch my tie, you will cough.“ And they come out of it groggily. And you know, they… they… they just don’t quite uh… you touch your tie and they just look a little uncomfortable – nothing.

„I can’t get the idea of maybe something else being dead – not that very well. Gee, everything’s alive! I mean, how can it be dead“ They’ll argue with you. Their concept is changed to a point where they actually couldn’t recognize DEATH as any kind of a permanency or a state or anything else to be dreaded.

And then you say, „Well, uh… speaking of ties……“

Their whole endocrine system is liable to turn on with it. The pineal – that mysterious, mystic gland of all mysteries – is liable to turn on. Fac One’ll turn it on – if you just run a Fac One. But you can turn on a pineal every once in a while with this sudden jump process on the Chart of Attitudes. Very worthwhile process. One that you ought to kind of write down in your hip pocket as being… some character who isn’t doing too well on mock-ups or you… you’re too bored to run ‘em on it or something of the sort, just try this other one and your… just… you just kick them right on up top tone scale. You’re just booting them up bodily. You’re putting them in the elevator and turning it on full juice and letting it roar on out the roof.

And the fellow says, „What? Ahem!“

It’s that… actually that’s rough a process and yet it apparently… it does not handle flows. If you catch the guy wincing and using effort and using force on this – nahh, he’s not doing it. Or his postulates are so bogged down in the middle of flows that he’s just having a horrible time doing it. Just tell him to get just the idea. Just coax him until he finally will get the idea so he can sit there and think, „Yes, dead.“ Instead of „Yeah – dead – DEAD. Yeah, I got dead; now I’ll shift that up!“

And you say, „Well, I was just talking about clothing – ties and that sort of thing.“

What he’s doing is, he thinks he’s lifting weights and you’ll see him strain on this – effort. He’s putting a lot of effort into it. You want the idea shifted. And you keep explaining it to him if he does that.

„Ahem!“

But I saw this have a very signal and wonderful effect. This little process here – there’s an awful lot of stuff parked away in Scientology that probably never sees the light of day and possibly never will. Such a process as this is senior to running engrams. It’ll make a MEST clear just like that.

And you say, „Uh……“

You don’t just say, „Well, I’m a self-determined individual and now I’m going to be self-determined and now I’m SELF-DETERMINED, you understand? And anybody that says I’m not self-determined is going to get his throat cut! I’m very free too. I’m very unemotional! Grrr!“

And he goes, „Ahem!“

I saw Dave MacLean pull that after just 24 hours with Ron House. Gee, that was really a rough deal.

There’s another condition necessary then. Ho-ho! There’s a thing has to happen called a key-in. When the unconsciousness is way deep, in order to get it into an action strata, there has to be a lock sitting on the very deep one.

Uh… that isn’t the same… same process or isn’t even vaguely like that. What you’re getting is change and you’re operating change. And of course, there’s a third stage on each one of those and you never mention it.

So you’ve got the engram but it doesn’t key in; it just sits there until somebody comes along and mentions it in such a way as to sort of trigger that into a higher level of consciousness. But it’ll still lie there as an unconscious experience.

When you get the guy stopped to starting, you’re going through change. And in each one of these things when they get the center band on any of these, you’re getting a change.

Do they wear out like hypnosis? Oh, yes, yep! You can wear this button out just like you can wear out hypnosis. Hmmm. Well, let’s just have him go over it again. And the guy remembers it all. At first he remembers just the beginning, and then the end. And then he remembers the rest of it. And then there’s more of it and then more of it. And what do you know! The button wears right on out.

So you’re just running up and you’re changing. And he’s going through… these two concepts have changing concepts between them, so of course they change. And the mechanism is hidden from the preclear entirely. He doesn’t realize that to go from stop to start you have to get up through change. He doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know anything about cycles of action, and you’re just setting up the cycles of action and running the end of the cycle to the beginning of the cycle.

And you finally says… you finally mention „ties,“ he doesn’t cough. You touch your tie; he doesn’t cough.

And you’re reversing scale on him, and you’re turning the cycles of action backwards, so that in each case, as we look up here on this chart that we used in the first hour, second chart, we find out that your cycle of action is being shifted from bottom to top. Of course, it shifts all cycles. It goes through practically every cycle there is that is intelligible.

And what’s he do when he finally discovers what you’ve done to him in the hypnotic incident? He says, „Aww, nuts! That’s why I was coughing!“

There is another cycle of action, by the way, I’ve never mentioned. It’s Positive – Current – Negative; Start, Change and Stop. It could be Minus – Current – Positive too, because they’re named wrong. We won’t worry about that. That’s an electronic guy’s dream. We’re not interested so much in electronics. We’re interested in preclears and human beings. Only reason we have to get interested in electronics to the degree that we get interested in electronics is we’re trying to pull a guy out of a force universe, or pull the effect of the force universe off of him so he doesn’t wind up in night court. So he doesn’t wind up…

And with that same incident, you can turn on streams of mucus out of somebody’s nose. You can… you can completely regulate their endocrine system in the most selective way. You could say, „Now, look. This stuff testosterone is bad, see. Your body can’t absorb it. When you get a shot, it gives you no lift up sexually. Sexually, you’re dead, fellow.“

You could do this just to that degree, you know. You can straighten a guy out so he’d be the damnedest homo sapiens anybody ever saw coming down the street. He’s not a theta clear, he doesn’t know anything about the thetan, he doesn’t know anything about this new technology at all.

Two ways to do it: one is kick him in the genitals – that’s correct. Just as an injury of that selective line, all of a sudden interrupts the testosterone balance of his system and keeps it interrupted long after you’d think that injury should have been set up. Or you can simply slug him out and tell him so. Two methods – both of them highly effective.

You can simply pick him up by his bootstraps and boot him up into 4.0 and say, „There you are, Bud!“ Don’t do it… don’t do it too long with these techniques though, ‘cause you’ll spring him accidentally.

As long as we have the mind going unconscious when it happens. Otherwise, nothing happens, except some kind of a little key-in or something.

You keep up postulate processing… I dare say if you kept up postulate processing on the roughest case you had that’s so mired in you couldn’t get him out with a building jack, if you kept up postulate processing and mock-up processing for 200 hours, the guy would be outside and well-collected and in good shape. I’d say so, just offhand at a guess.

Well, if we run it through enough times it wears out, the endocrine system turns on again. Function is monitoring structure. What do you know, we got engrams.

I’ve never been able to run these things that long on a person. They generally spring in the first five minutes or the first fifteen minutes or the first hour or the first two hours.

Now we can operate on this guy; we can shoot this guy full of hormones; we can talk to him about this; we can talk to him about that. We can hypnotize him to heal it, or we can feed him religion. And he doesn’t get well!

One guy really didn’t intend to be at all… he didn’t intend to…he wasn’t doing it. He was doing mock-up processing for an entirely different purpose. And he was doing the British Edition of SELF ANALYSIS. And he was doing it with a group. And after he’d been doing mock-ups for a short time… he’d been doing, I think, something like about uh… six weeks, couple hours a day. One day he was… a little tiny bit of auditing and he was out of his head – bang! He just moved right straight on out and there he was looking at himself. And yet, at the first session he got… boy, he couldn’t have gotten out with a sledge hammer. If you’d sawed his skull in half, he wouldn’t have gotten out of there.

You can go out and you can say, „Now look. If you just believe in the great god Throg-Magog, and so on, you can put this whole god over alongside of you and he’ll monitor you and he’ll tell you what to do after this.“ And it’ll just work out fine for a couple of days and then the guy will spin – zing! He’ll really spin because he’s made something else responsible, of course, as we know now.

Uh… interesting difference: he had just used nothing but routine, the most routine of uh… of mock-ups. I mean, just routine mock-ups, routine mock-ups, routine mock-ups. And that’s something on the neighborhood of about uh… 45 – that’s about 90 hours. And he’d done it with a group. And he wasn’t good at it to begin at all – he was terrible at it. It was an unexpected result, because he wasn’t trying to improve his ability to get out – completely unexpected.

All right, the great god Throg-Magog, then, could handle him for a couple of days and then handle him no more. Then he just goes downhill and downhill.

Now these processes, then, this shift up scale, the wide change, top – bottom, bottom – top. You could get yourself a flow kind of process here. Get ‘Being dead, not being dead’, ‘Surviving, not surviving’, ‘Trying not to survive, other people keeping you from surviving’. Those are all flows. If you started running that, positive-negative, the guy would find out uh… after a very short time, he felt like he was in the middle of a hurricane. He’d have flows, flows, flows, flows going in all directions.

So what? All of these duress or control therapies – structures, unconsciousnesses, hypnotism, medicine – in no case would alleviate a condition. They would hold it in suspension or hold it in abeyance in some fashion or another. But in the presence of a mental block on the subject, nothing could be done!

And as a result you would be having a flow-type processing. He would go through lines of being frightened, he would get upset, he would get sick – lots of other things’d happen. And you start fooling around with flows, unless you’re going right straight out to handle nothing but flows, you’re going to handle that flow and exhaust that flow, leave it alone, because it takes very – a lot of auditing to get any result and uh… it will upset a preclear.

If mister has gotten his back broken because he’s got an engram about his back, it would be the same thing as though you told this fellow under hypnosis he had to go out and get his back broken. Same thing. And you told him forcefully enough and that he had to have an injured back, and it was necessary to his survival to have an injured back, and everybody feels so sorry for him to have it, and make it very desirable to have an injured back, he’d go out and break his back.

You start running a preclear on flows, you get a preclear who’s running flows and you don’t turn it immediately into mock-up processing, but you just let the flows run, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. His ability to do mock-ups will reduce, just like if you let a preclear start using pieces of the MEST universe or pieces of his facsimiles to patch up his mock-ups, something like that, why, it isn’t going to assist him. He’s saying „The MEST universe has to be leaned on in order for me to have a mock-up.“

And what do you know? You heal it up and you could strap it up and heal it up and fix it up any way you wanted to and it wouldn’t get well, and it wouldn’t get well, and it wouldn’t get well until you pulled the doggoned incident.

Well, he’s leaning on it quite a bit anyway, but if he starts leaning on it in mock-ups too, that’ll lead to most anything.

Now you can ha… do that. And the tests… we’re on such things as a cut finger. You’d knock the guy out and cut his finger and then tell him how valuable that finger cut was, and tell him he should get his finger cut. Just put a little pain in it, don’t hurt it any. But give him enough pain so he’s got pain on the unconsciousness. And out he goes, and hurts his finger. And he’ll hurt his finger, and he’ll hurt his finger – and he’ll hurt his finger, and he’ll hurt his finger. And every time he hurts his finger he gets another engram. Hmmm. He gets more sympathy too. Hmmm.

So there we have then the Chart of Attitudes as a process. And uh… I recommend anything that changes postulates. That’s even senior, you see, to making things, mocking up and so on. That’s way up the line.

In other words, it’s getting deeper and deeper and deeper, and worse and worse and worse, all the way down the line.

Or, if you must run flows, run the straight flow Agree – Disagree, if you MUST run a flow. Get Agree – Disagree, Communicate – Not Communicate, or Communicate Out – Communicate In. Or the characteristics of emotion – if you have to run them.

So we’ve got the same mechanism at work and they can be worn out. But they require key-ins just like hypnotism does. And you can run all of these various experiments and you’ll find them very productive. And you’ll find out you can run incidents like locks, and you can run locks wholesale. You can scan ‘em, you can run all sorts of things all over the place, and you won’t have any trouble with them.

But it would be a strange obsession if you ran flows in preference to creative processing. Easiest way to run flows is just the way I was running them on you tonight. Very easy. Turn a firehouse in a guy’s face if you want to run a flow, and then change the firehouse all around – you think you’re running an electronic flow.

Now on the assist, for God’s sake, don’t forget the assist because it’s one of the best ways to handle something – an immediate injury. Boy, you can get that thing down, bang!

There’s another way to run flows which is quite interesting, is run invisible flows, and have him make out how he knows they are invisible flows, why he knows they are invisible flows and that sort of thing. Sound, you see, is an invisible flow. And it’s quite aberrative because a person can’t control as well that which is invisible as he can control things that are visible. So sound, therefore, has a terrific power over him that light doesn’t. And therefore he’ll lose his hearing acuteness before he loses his sight acuteness.

But there’s what’s known as a creative processing assist. Give him new thumbs, if he’s hurt his thumb. Process parts of the body: mock up parts of the body, get superfluity on parts of the body, lots of ‘em. Break the back of the MEST universe motto, „It shall be scarce!“ And break the back on it. And the way you do that is just that, by giving the guy an abundance of mock-up.

It’s harder to control sound because you can’t see it. And that’s why we are very sound in processing words.

You see, the mock-up is more real than actuality as some people here are finding out. „You know, this MEST universe isn’t very real. But these mock-ups I’m getting are beautifully real.“

All right – very early in the game – they’re sound. They’re made out of sound; they’re symbols of sound; you couldn’t see them, so forth. If you want to know how aberrative sound is, why that’s a test to make – which we’re going to go into.

Now of course, you get somebody… you back somebody up, you have to know where you’re backing them to. And we find out, all of a sudden, you’re backing them to a high level of self-determinism and yet we find out to stop at a short point on self-determinism is almost… is quite undesirable.

Now, this kind of processing of actualities is nowhere as good as mock-ups, but processing postulates is much, much senior. And making a person mock up emotions and mock up various other things is much senior to any of the other classes of processing.

So you have to get him up to a high level of self-determinism where he is a good, ethical being as well as a very strong one. And we find out he has to be a very strong being in order to be an ethical being. And uh… so that sort of has to solve itself in that direction.

So you do mock-ups as senior to all processes done to date, and then postulate changing as senior to mock-ups. And make sure when you’re changing postulates, you’re changing postulates.

And we’ve moved right straight out of structure entirely. The second the guy can handle all force, he can handle structure. He can have it or not have it at will. He can step out of his head and mock up some structure, and he can do it well enough so that somebody will have to accept it. You can do a much better job than this universe, by the way.

Now that’s… that Chart of Attitudes there is all categories of knowledge that we need to monkey with at this time. It’s really all cycles of action.

Now, you could continue to live in confluence with your friends. You could continue to live in the MEST universe. You could continue to do all sorts of things. But with this knowledge and this information you could bail yourself out. That’s important. With the data which has been accumulated on this, you can bail yourself out. There isn’t much that you can get into that you can’t get yourself out of, even if you’re all by yourself. These processes will work actually, on yourself, all by yourself.

Now let’s cover a little bit about mock-ups. Now I can say a lot more about mock-ups, but let me… let me cover mock-ups very briefly here in this little sequence of the processes we are using.

So we’ve gone on up the line to a collection of data, and this data is very brief, but really – it’s there. It’s just all roads lead to Rome on the thing. Self-determinism and that’s Q-l.

Mock-ups are done by gradient scale and you get the least he can get. Don’t concentrate on visio any more than you would on any other part of the band. Don’t go goofing off on the subject of all visio, all visio and no sound; all visio, all visio and no emotion. All visio – no, sir. You get the emotions out of those things, this guy, and so on.

And… but – look at the basic datum: what was Man trying to do? He had the answer to that: he’s trying to survive. That sounds kind of silly, „He’s just trying to survive,“ but that’s right. That’s all he’s trying to do. There’s no reason why he’s trying to survive. It’s just a game, it’s something to do and he got in too deep. And then he got to be a broken piece and then nobody could help him out. Then he couldn’t help himself out, so somebody had to bail him out. I think he could’ve helped himself out, myself.

Use, at the beginning, simple geometric forms in preference to complex forms. Use black and white to improve color. If your preclear’s having trouble, look over the problem from the standpoint of space, because you’ve got to have space before you can have mock-ups. He might not have any space.

Now, uh… the data accumulated showed us a heck of a lot of things and all of these things were of the highest importance maybe, at one time or another, uh… as processes. But fortunately, you don’t have to know all these trick processes. But you do have to know the phenomena, because you’ll encounter the phenomena and their… you have to know that direct address of phenomena is an agreement with the MEST universe that it exists. So you have to back up from that phenomenon.

This would be a big joke on you, you know, to be sitting there and you’re running him and running him, and he hasn’t got any space to put these mock-ups in.

So under processing we get, of course, the Auditor’s Code, how is it done? It’s done from a high level – that could also be called the Code of How to Be Civilized – it’s done from a very high level of ethic. Not from a moral… when you start to get victimized by the Auditor’s Code it has become a moral code to you, because it’s no longer reasonable, because it’s damaging one dynamic. But don’t bust it as a straight break, because that is even more damaging. There is an ethical way of handling all of this. And the best way is to be so strong that you wouldn’t have any inclination to. And you start to help somebody out, they just get helped out, poor fellow.

And the first rule about mock-up processing would be, of course, not what you give the preclear but what you find out the preclear’s doing. It’s more important for you to know what the preclear’s doing than it is for you to have a… have a large repertoire on the subject of mock-ups. Because you can turn mock-ups into a high level of generality that doesn’t strain yourself at all.

And the fellow says, „Well, yap, yap, yap.“

But we could make up something… we could make up something called a uh… yeah, a routine. We could… we could make up a routine. Now we could do a routine with a mock-up. Now a routine with a mock-up might run something like this, „In front of you, behind you, to your right side, to your left side, above your head, below your feet. In front of you 20 feet away, behind you 20 feet, to the right side 20 feet, to the left side 20 feet, above you 20 feet and below you 20 feet. In front of you a hundred feet…“ See, you could just have this as a rising scale mock-up. „In front of you a hundred feet, in back of you a hundred feet, to the right of you a hundred feet, to the left of you a hundred feet, above you a hundred feet and below you a hundred feet.“

And you say, „Huh?“

Now you could, to keep the preclear from getting confused, you could call them uh… well, let’s be very original right here on the spot. Let’s just say, „We will have a five foot routine“ and that would mean „In front of you five feet, behind you five feet, to the right five feet, to the left five feet, above you five feet, and below you five feet.“

„Well, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.“

Let’s have a routine on ten feet, let’s have a routine on 20 feet, a routine on a hundred feet, a routine on two light-years.

You say, „Poor guy, you really mean it.“ It doesn’t bother you.

Now we could do a routine on anchor points in the same way. We could have anchor points in front of you, anchor points above you, behind you, around you, anchor points up close, anchor points far away. That sort of thing. But that isn’t as important, because there’s no great this and that on anchor points.

He runs all around the neighborhood, he says, „You know that auditor down there, he’s just terrible. He does horrible things,“ and so forth. „Beautiful women go in there day and night. You know, he really, all horrible things happen in that place – terrible. Very immoral and all that sort of thing.“

What… what we would want in this case would be mock-up placements. It’s very silly for the auditor to have to sit there and do those. Well, if you wanted to educate your preclear, you could educate him into doing a routine. But remember that the second you get him grooved into a routine, of course he’ll be able to do just these things and no others.

If you’re tough enough and you radiate far enough, do you know that the neighbors wouldn’t uh… wouldn’t even be disturbed. Doubtful, though, in this society. One has to assume there’s something there, and so on.

Yeah. So, your routine, with something that you could turn on and then once in a while vary – vary like mad.

All right. Now in page 38 here we have the Theta Entity and the Theta Entity is a misnomer. There is no such thing as the Theta Entity. It’s a typist error, uh… and it might not be in the book. It should have been caught. What’s meant there is the Thetan. We know about that. Uh… the entities? They’re ridges on which facsimiles are planted and I was drawing you some pictures in a recent lecture about all these squares and – compartments across the top. Each one of those things can be a thinking entity. It thinks it’s alive. It can think as a being as long as energy is fed to it.

Now, you could shift it from the front to the right, now shift it back, and so on.

Always remember that one: as long as energy is fed to it, it can think and act as a being. Therefore, if you, quote, pay attention to it, it will think and act. You start talking to an entity and, of course, it talks back. With what energy? Yours.

But when you’re handling simple geometric figures, you would be handling dots, discs, circles, triangles, squares, cubes, cylinders, pyramids – simple geometric figures – rather simple. Now get ‘em in all colors and get ‘em in all positions.

Now the auditor can actually start talking to an entity and energize it, just as people in a person’s environment energize his entities very often. They come in and energize an entity and they get him dispersing and doing this and that. They actually are blowing energy at an entity. And it’s apparently thinking, acting – that’s the way they control him. That’s a beautiful control mechanism.

Now don’t let me hear you… any of you having this kind of difficulty: „Well, this preclear can’t change things rapidly“ or… or „This preclear changes things rapidly“ or „This preclear – „ so on. That preclear does what that preclear does as long as that preclear’s doing it. Don’t try to rush him. And don’t try to slow him down. Let him hit his own speed. Only you make sure you find out what he’s doing. Don’t just sit there and optimistically suppose he’s doing everything he says he’s doing. That means that any 1.1 you’ve got your hands on would just fool the hell out of you. Every time you said „in front of you“ he’s thinking „behind him.“ And every time you say „below the feet“ he’s putting it in his right pocket.

The entities will have the damnedest facsimiles on them, and they’ll apparently be stuck on the time track someplace. Each one different from every other one. That’s because of the various ridges on which facsimiles are planted. And that’s all an entity is.

The best thing to do is run mock-ups with an E-Meter in the guy’s hands, and you just watch that thing. Because if he’s doing wrong, it’ll be too much of a strain for him and that needle will keep knocking around, knocking around, knocking around.

You can blow an entity to pieces any time you want. Every once in a while you get the strangest spooky notion that there’s other thetans. And every once in a while in a preclear you’ll get some very, very decadent thetan out of him.

You say, „What’s you running, fella?“

You take a look and he’ll say, „You know, that’s a funny thing. There’s a glow that’s of a very low order on a ridge and I can’t seem to handle that ridge. And I don’t seem to be able to do anything with that ridge.“

„Oh,“ he’ll say. „Well, I’m… just what you tell me.“

You say, „Is there anything else on it?“

And you say, „Well now, did you put that last one behind you?“ He’ll say, „Yes,“ and the needle will go „Wham!“

„Yeah.“

And you say, „Are you sure you put it behind you?“

„Well, now detach that thing. Well, you got that thing detached there? Well now detach the whole ridge and throw it away.“

„Well, as a matter of fact, I couldn’t get it loose.“

They actually will be occasionally, but they’re not active.

„It’s about time you told me,“ you’ll say.

Preclears will also have the idea that they’re hanging around the backs of their necks. They’ve got old currents and old ridges will go into vibration. And they start thinking about the backs of their necks and, of course, any ridge that’s on the backs of their necks will go into vibration. And they get the idea that entities or… or en-thetans – ah, that’s a wonderful word – en-thetans are creeping up on them and crawling up on them, and that they’re being mobbed by this and that and so on. They can be very convinced about this, by the way; and that they’re… they’re about to be attacked, or the whole town is about to be blown up or any damn thing you could think of. And uh… they’ll get very worried about this.

You’ll save a lot of time in this wise. Your preclear’s your best E-Meter… pardon me… your auditor should be the best E-Meter, but if he is, then he’s got to keep his eyes on somebody else’s energy all the time. And it’s a strain, so why bother with that? You can sit down and look at an E-Meter dial and relax. You could look at it with ‘theta-vision’ if you want to. You don’t have to look at with MEST vision. That’s right.

The truth of the matter is, no matter how dark it is there’s nothing can touch you. Unless you sit down and carefully determine that something’s going to. And if you carefully make up your mind that something is going to happen to you, you can undoubtedly fix it up so it will.

But – uh… uh… you’ll have a preclear get disgusted every once in a while. You have to remember when you’re running a preclear, when you are outside of your body and you’re running a preclear, remember to keep your eyes open. He’ll think you’re asleep or something and he’ll get upset. Yeah, that’s an idea.

Now, that’s the sum and substance then of entities. As far as running engrams, I’ve just given you a dissertation on it. That’s really all you have to know about running an engram. Spot the incident where it happened, and make the guy go through it so many times he is so sick of it.

Now uh… next thing you should know about Creative Processing is don’t let this guy get away with having everything going „Brrrrrrrr“ by, and flicker and flack and change and kid himself that „Yeah, he said it to do that. Yeah, he said it to do that.“ Each time, agree late, see?

It’s very strange to people sometimes. They’ll be quite amused at the first time they ever discover a this-life engram. They went all the way through the operation; they were completely alert all the way through it. Or… or there are parts of the operation that they’re not alert in.

„Yeah, well that did that because I really said it, I guess. I’m not sure… I mean hmm.“ Things random as hell. He’s not controlling anything. Yeah, he’s getting beautiful mock-ups. Yeah, it’s „Mock up this way bicycle. Okay, got a bicycle?“

Don’t be too surprised if there’s chunks of engrams that ought to be there that aren’t there. Don’t be too surprised at this. You’re dealing with energy and concept of energy, and the fellow had a concept that it was there once upon a time, but something might have caved that ridge in. There might be a heck of a scramble of energy in the vicinity of this thing. A piece of it might be missing.

„Yeah.“

Now sometimes during an operation a whole ridge will blow. Don’t think that a preclear suddenly… by the way, never make this mistake, that this is a sudden and strange manifestation that occurs – these ridges and flows and things like that; they’re… they’re sudden manifestations that occur the moment the person became a preclear and never existed before that. Don’t make that mistake. They put a… put a patient on an operating table and they come down with that knife or that machine or something of the sort, and there’s a bad shock. And this shock results in an electronic flash. And that’s some ridge blowing up. They don’t have anything connected to him to demonstrate what’s happening. But he comes out of that and he’s a vastly changed being. They’ve blown his bank up. And scrambled his incidents and ruined him. And he’s got to be rehabilitated in the handling of energy.

„Fine, fine, fine. You got that? That’s good. Good bicycles? Yeah, that’s good. Now let’s put it behind your back. Yeah, good boy.“

Very often an operation produces results solely because it merely shifts a person on a time track. Probably that’s the only reason it does, I don’t know. But uh… I wouldn’t say so far as that. You can still patch up a broken leg, although you’re a hell of a… you’re a hell of a thetan that can’t fix up a broken leg, let me tell you. Well, throw that one away and get another one. That’s right, it’s a better looking leg anyway. I mean that’s… that’s about the way it goes.

What d… what he’s got is… what he’s got is a bicycle which changed to a 1912 bicycle which changed to a little kid riding a tricycle which changed to an ape in a circus riding a monocycle. And he… this is happening without his consent at all. I mean, he’s got a bicycle and it’s going in all directions. That’s automaticity taking place, see? You find out if he got the bicycle.

All right, uh… the running of engrams, then, can become complicated by manifestations of energy and the fact that one tries to have the engram so he can run it. And of course there are vectors in it, so the second he tries to have it the thing will very often go away from him and he doesn’t have it any more. Or he tries not to have it and, of course, it moves at that moment right in on him.

Remember that conserve is middle scale. You’ve got to teach him to conserve as well as destroy. And if a person is having this trouble and he’s having it very badly and he really can’t control mock-up worth a doggone, have him controlling spots and dots. That’s the favorite. And „Put a dot up there.“

There’s one way of doing this, is sort of emanate in the direction of the ridges. You emanate in the direction of the ridges, they’ll start lighting up. Just blow in their direction. Don’t emanate anything except a… a flow – not a agreement or disagreement or anything else – just… just emanate in that direction, and look. And, what do you know? Engrams will come into view.

Now he’ll ask you all sorts of questions. „Do you think I’m just imagining it? Or am I… are you really supposed to see it?“ A guy that asks you that is really worried. He’s worried about one thing; he’s worried about hallucinating. He’s afraid that if he really sees something he’ll hallucinate. He… he’s… he’s sure of it.

You just postulate yourself a little higher up tone scale, see, than you have to be. You don’t agree or disagree or have to have or not have to have, and so forth. Just emanate a little bit in that direction. Just feel yourself flow in that direction a bit and engrams that are otherwise……

And very often a person who has had a great deal of experience with people who hallucinate will be instinctively afraid of getting a controlled mock-up. Remember that.

The guy says, „I can’t run that incident,“ and you know he’s sitting in Mama’s death and so forth. You can just get him to emanate kind of out in front of him or around back of him or wherever this engram’s parked. It’s parked geographically. It… because… he… it’s just one that he didn’t say, „Go into yesterday“ to.

Hallucination is an uncontrolled, unwelcome, come-and-go-without – being-asked thing. And a mock-up is a heavily controlled thing, and if a person just imagines the concept of it or something like that – huh – hmmmmm. Because we get our next definition of a mock-up. A mock-up occupies space of the preclear’s creation. It occupies a space. It isn’t an imaginary’ picture, it isn’t something he kind of sees in his mind. There is a mechanism in the mind which will see little imaginary pictures. And they go by flickity – flickity-flickety-flick. It’s usually a circuit. Yes, it’s controlled to some degree, but that’s not a mock-up. A mock-up’s out in front. A mock-up has distance from the preclear. A mock-up has substance. And when you get good on them they have body. And you want your… drill your preclear about reaching over and feeling the body of the mock-up every once in a while – the thickness of it.

See, you have to actively say to an engram, „Go into the last five minutes,“ or it won’t go. And then you have to hide from yourself the mechanism of doing that in order not to know you do it. Automaticity enters in on it and you’ll forget you’re doing it.

The guys have been putting up cardboard pictures all this time. And you say, „Get a cardboard picture two feet thick.“

Actually, it’s a completely conscious process. Every instant of time is a completely conscious process. So that if you… if you… if you’re not just saying, „Time. Time. Time. All right. Don’t have. Don’t have. Don’t have. Park. Park. Park. Park. Park. Park“ of time, you haven’t got any time track.

„No, I can’t do that. I…“

A guy sometimes gets into the state of not doing anything with it, see? And he wonders, „Where’s my sonic?“ It’s all stacked, right in front of his face. It’s all right. He can stretch it out and he’s got it all again. Only he’s got to stretch it out. He’s got to say, „Well, that’s in last year. Now we’ll string it from there.“ And he’d have a track.

„Well, feel the thickness of the cardboard you’ve got it on.“

But you have to do that, you see? And it’s not spatial. YOU DON’T SHIFT SPACE. You have to… you… it’s the same space as the thing occurred – in. It’s just disappearing in that space. And when he’s mastered that trick, he’s mastered time. It… it’s simply time… time past is „not have“. It’s just „not have,“ that’s all.

„Ha-ha! What do you know! I DO have it on thick cardboard. Yes, about an inch thick.“

And time that isn’t is just „will have“. And time that is, is „have it“. It’s so simple. You can go on like this and explain like this. And it’s something like trying to explain ad nauseam that golf balls are white because they’re white. That’s all, they’re just white.

„Well, all right, let’s… let’s just swell that guillotine out there to the proper blade width. Now let’s feel it the proper blade width. You got that?

Now you run secondaries, grief charges, and you’re into the subject of loss. And what do you know, right back into time again. Loss is what? No time. You run a secondary the same way you run an engram. You start them in at the beginning. They can be in terror, they can be in fear, be in any of those things. If you just tell the preclear, start him just like this.

„Ah, it’s a cardboard blade. I can tell – I can bend it.“

You say, „All right, when was the first moment you received news of your father’s death?“

„Well, put a steel blade on it. Oh, I know, let’s have a real good guillotine. Let’s have a solid gold blade. Now feel that blade – you got that? It’s got depth, huh?“

And the preclear says, „Well, I remember clearly that so-and-so,“ and he’s doing a big pretense. The engram is sitting right in front of his face and he’s saying it isn’t there. See? „Well, I recall this, I know this. Yeah. And, uh… somebody told me……“ That’s a lock on it – „that.“

„Yeah, what do you know? It’s got depth.“ In other words, work it out with him.

And you say, „No, no, no, no, no, no. When is the first moment you can pick up there that you heard your father died?“

This mock-up has got to be better than anything the real universe – hah! laughingly called – can possibly produce. In the end, that’s the test of a mock-up. Is that senior to anything there is in this universe? Is it better? Brother, it better be. That’s all you’re doing. The MEST universe has been in contest with your preclear, saying, „Nya, your illusions are no good. You can’t create anything. You haven’t got any strength. You haven’t got any force. Nya, nya, nya.“ Criticize, criticize. Bark his shins, kick him in the head, fix him up. Get him to agree again; throw him into a snake pit; get him to agree further. Then pull him out and say, „You’re no good,“ and so forth. „We promised you the moon. Yes, I know. We promised you the moon. You can have the moon – it’s all full of grit. Here. You’ve got the moon. We’re pushing it in your face this minute.“ Crunch!

„Oh, um, I guess it was a telephone call.“

Typical, you see? I mean, it’s uncontrolled! It’s not his – his sense of ownership is bad.

„All right. Answer the phone.“

Well, let’s go to another step about mock-up processing. You know that if you were to put out eight anchor points and stabilize them with the preclear in the center – he isn’t out of his body or anything else – and just have him sit there and hold those anchor points – I don’t care how long – 80 hours – one hour – two hours – half an hour – I don’t care how long you do this. It doesn’t matter. An anchor point is an anchor point. There isn’t supposed to be any action in it and no action will take place.

„Well, I can’t remember that far…“

You’ve given him some space. And the first thing you know the… the walls – there aren’t any walls. You’ve just put out eight points, you see, and he’ll feel this dark substance kind of moving in and out of them, and he’ll feel the wall kind of creak. He isn’t putting out any effort at all except to hold the anchor points. He isn’t pushing this stuff back out. And don’t let him start either. Let’s just de… de… feel this thing going on. He’ll feel his body sort of going „creak“ and it’s very strange. And all of a sudden he’ll… he’ll have a… he’ll very often have the funniest sensation: „You know, I’ve got some space of my own?“

„Now just a minute. Pick up that telephone. Where does the telephone normally sit? Take a look at it. All right, you got the telephone? Well, now answer it. Now what is said to you over the phone?“

And he’ll actually feel ridges leaving him, and he’ll feel his breadth and expansion a little bit. And he’ll feel so restful.

And the guy runs it off, and all of a sudden, „What the hell,“ he says. „I’m hearing this again.“ He runs it on through and at first he’s very vague and he gets upset and it’s very thin. And then he gets closer in and closer in to the thing. And then cries maybe or gets terrified or gets upset and… and it all goes by the boards. Well, that’s solved by having and not having. You could say, „Now get having and not having on the subject of Papa, having to have a father, not having to have a father.“ You do the same trick by running it on a flow so these processes are not disrelated.

If you want to know the way to go to sleep, by the way, just put out eight anchor points and hold them there. Beautiful feeling – just gorgeous.

Now, running locks, you can just scan those wholesale. A lock requires a heavy incident to sit on. There’s got to be pain and unconsciousness in the incident before locks started gathering on it.

The next step to that is to put out eight anchor points and hold them there and not let anything else be in it. But put something else in it. Throw a chair into the middle of your eight points. And then get it, finally, to where that chair doesn’t exist in the eight points. Get complete nonexistence of the chair. And do it on a gradient scale. Get a little matchbox to put out there, and finally get that selected out of. You know, it’s there but you’re not admitting its presence. And then finally it just isn’t there – for you.

So when Joe Jinx comes in the room and he says, „Eeeeeowwww! A black cat!“ you say, „What’s the matter with you?“

Then put a chair in, or put something else in or put a couch in – or something heavier in amongst those eight points. And then put something very heavy in there. And just hold the eight points until it’s gone. Your space, see?

„Oh, I hate black cats! Do you know every time I see a black cat, I get a black eye? I’m going to leave. I get terrible sinusitis too. Ohhh! You’ve got a potted geranium! Oh, I can’t stand geraniums! I’m……“ and so on and so on. As he goes down the steps he sees that somebody’s left a roller skate on the steps. He can’t abide anything like that. Why aren’t people…… „Oh, a newel post on a ban……“

Well, you shouldn’t make the decision to pull these in yourself, if you’re doing it yourself; you do this for the preclear.

What is this guy trying to do? He hasn’t found his restimulator. He’s looking all over the environment, see, trying to find the guy with the hand on the tie. He knows there’s a signal and he’s supposed to do something, and he fu… lost the signal. And he just starts jumping at the whole environment. And you get what is known as associative restimulators. Because it’s a hand on a tie he’s looking for, any tie hanging up anyplace drives him into fits. And because ties hang on shirts, any shirt hanging up anyplace turns him into fits. And because shirts go on bodies, then any body hanging up any place turns him into fits. And because bodies hang any place, then any place turns him into fits. You get how this is working?

By the way, an auditor prevents the preclear from making decisions – really. If the preclear had to make postulates about all these things, he wouldn’t get well near as fast. The auditor makes these postulates for him and that’s perfectly all right. Can you finally see the mechanism behind that? He has to say, „Now I will imagine there is…“ or „Now I will mock Up…“

All right, you can actually sit a guy down on an E-Meter and look for the restimulator. „What’s the gimmick? What’s making you jump?“ You could just search for it relentlessly. It’s rather a long process but you just search for it and you’ll find that the reason this guy’s nervous and the reason that guy’s eyes are bad – for instance, why is the guy’s eyes bad? You could look in the real universe, laughingly called, and find out exactly what he’s hoping he won’t see.

And the auditor says, „Now put a…“ so he hasn’t had to postulate that it was not there before he put it there. The auditor says, „Well now, put it there,“ and he puts it there.

So the first drop you will get is, „Are you afraid you’ll see something“ – crash! Now what is it he doesn’t want to see? He doesn’t want to see one of these restimulators. Because if he sees this restimulator, then he has to do a Saint Vitus Dance, or something, see, he knows that.

And uh… so let’s get a… an eight-point space and let’s put a chair in it and a sofa in it and – a real chair, you understand. I mean, you know – this chair. Some chair – put it in there and then just have it there in that eight-pointed space, with those eight anchor points, until it’s not there, until the guy’s fairly sure that chair’s not there, until he’s POSITIVE that chair isn’t there. What do you know? He’s got a body in there! He’s got a body in those eight points. He can make MEST objects disappear. Well, he can handle the body better than he can MEST objects.

All right, so we’re right back on to the same basic formula that we were on before – the environment is upsetting. Well, he has certainly agreed that it would be upsetting so you’d better gradiently break his agreement with the whole darned environment. Because if you don’t, there isn’t any halfway point.

All of a sudden he realizes the body’s not there and he simply moves off as a thetan – negative clearing.

Oh, get that envir… that… get that environment beautifully unreal. Get him absentmindedly walking through walls, tipping his hat to his hostess at night and walking through the front door and out, forgetting to open it. Going out and sitting down comfortably just outside of the curb, and turning on the switch and driving home – not remembering that he didn’t bring the car that night.

Now you could do this. You can sometimes set up the four corner points of a room as this, and you start doing it, and then the guy…it knows it isn’t his space. He’s using MEST universe corner points. And therefore he realizes anything can come into that space – anything can. And he’s liable to find gorillas and giraffes and wild elephants and dogs and cats and airplanes flying through it. And he’s scared to do anything about it, and he can’t move out of the body because he hasn’t got any space to move to. You’ve got to make him create the space by putting these anchor points out. You don’t mock up anchor points – don’t make that mistake. You don’t mock up an anchor point. You put an anchor point out. An anchor point is real. It has actuality. Just because it doesn’t hang around and bong against the MEST universe every way you turn isn’t any reason why you… why it’s not real.

Life could be beautiful. Of course, I don’t guarantee what’s going to happen to other people. You see, in view of the fact that this is all science fiction, it’s so incredible that uh… nobody will believe it anyway. And a fellow says, „Oh! This big tough guy at the party. He’s always the life of the party, you know. He’s big and he smokes cigars, you know, and he drinks heavily and he was a boxer in his youth. He’s strong, knocks the girls crazy. He, oh, they’re for him. And he tears telephone books in half, you know. Throws them negligently over his shoulder. Tears packs of cards in half – real tough, see? Real strong.“

An anchor… don’t get the idea… give the preclear the idea, „Well now, mock up some anchor points,“ uh-uh.

It won’t hurt this fellow’s reality any after he’s torn telephone books in half to have them lie on the floor and then tear ‘em in quarters – without anybody touching them.

If you want to get outside and take a look at the GE, you’ll find out he’s got anchor points.

So, it’s a good thing we’re… we’re operating completely behind the mask of any reality.

For instance, Nibs was telling me to get up – I never tried that for some reason or other. It never occurred to me. You start pushing around the GE’s anchor points, and they’re not like your own anchor points at all. They snap back into position – they move right back into position again. You can push them out of the road – they’re way out. But you can push them out of the road and they move back into position again.

You’re gonna bust somebody’s reality to glory with this sort of thing. You can already bust their… if you just took one of these processes here, you could still bust their reality.

So, what have we got then in terms of space? This is another method of space, another method of the body, another method of mock-ups. You could reverse a mock-up then, can’t you? Well, after a guy’s been running for a short time with mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, he can make mock-ups, gradient scale. If they change too fast, if he can’t control ‘em, for God sakes give him something he can control. „Little black spot on the wall.“ That’s black and white control processing. We’ll go into that more deeply. But black and white control processing – until he can hold it steady and he doesn’t get a lot of randomity in it. Give him as much as he can control and then let him learn how to control that. And he’ll get there.

„Everybody knows that after a certain age, such and so couldn’t possibly happen and the body couldn’t heal about this and that.“ My God! We’ve turned off cancer and diabetes and leukemia and… and so on. The… actually auditors have hauled them off of death beds now for two and a half years and braced them up and put a couple of spikes through their hair to hold them up on the wall until a better process came along. But they are still alive!

And then you get a negative result, finally. You’ll get him good at… you’ll get him so good at creating his own things, that he can uncreate MEST objects in his area.

Actually Dianetics and Scientology have probably saved several thousand lives – I don’t know. I would say so because I kept… I started keeping a case history on… a long time ago, and it got too numerous and I couldn’t keep it. Guys would just keep writing in. I wish I had it now, the… the… just what letters I had on the subject, and so forth, were once in existence. And they’re not now.

Well now if you were just to give a guy practice in mock-ups and practice in mock-ups and then let him get around to a point where he’s pretty good with mock-ups, just fair with mock-ups, and then you could run him into the… uncreating MEST. He can always uncreate MEST to the degree that he can create mock-ups – that’s for himself.

But, uh… gee, they just kept coming in and coming in and coming in and coming in. It’s a very funny thing. There are an awful lot of book auditors out in the field who did a tremendous amount of good, really used it down the line.

And if he can create mock-ups that are visible to others and solid to others, he can uncreate MEST that is observably uncreated by others.

Some of… sometimes these auditors study a technique, they’ll find it too fast, they can’t charge a preclear enough for it. They’d rather have a slower technique than these new techniques. Boy, that’s really… they’re really in agreement with the MEST universe when they figure that there’s got to be scarcity. They’re creating a scarcity themselves.

A lot of times when you’re doing this, it’ll key in some existence as a magician on your preclear and he’ll start doing it all with black cloths, by the way. And instead of making something disappear, he’ll hol… haul a black cloth over it. And instead of making it, uh… uh… change or shift or something, why he’ll turn a cloth around or do something like that. You find out what he’s doing. He keeps talking about all this blackness in the area – he has some kind of an existence as a magician. Or he has used this blackness, and he’s using blackness to make objects disappear and appear again. And that’s no good, of course. Just give him his surfeit of black cloth. Just give him all the black cloth you can possibly give him. Just give him lots of black cloth, just give him lots of it. And then have him take a little tiny piece of it and tear it up and throw it away. And then give him black and white spot processing and control processing. And then give him black cloths again – lots of them. Give him… oh, just fill the joint up with curtains and curtains and curtains. And then have him make somebody walk through the curtains. And then fold them all up and sell them for enormous cost. And then mock up some more, and so on. Until he’s so damned tired of black cloths!

You see, if they suddenly took up… took ten people and took ten days and cured all those ten people – oh, no! The… the horrible reality shatter that would occur in their neighborhood would be such that there would be Aunt Mamie and Uncle Joe up there, the relatives, saying, „You know, I have a friend. And I wanted to know if you couldn’t do something for this friend of mine, because uh… uh… of course, that friend wouldn’t be me.“

And he finally says, „All right, I’ll just make it disappear.“ It stands there, and it goes.

Now, that’s all very simple, this business of running concepts and feelings. You can get any kind of a concept and just get the guy to hold it for a little while – and it wears out.

You’ve got to drill a guy in time. And he very often will use black cloths to cover up the fact that he hasn’t actually made something disappear. Something will be out there and you s… you say, „All right, put it in yesterday.“

And uh… then there’s running ridges, running circuits out, there’s blowing up circuits. Well, your thetan can run around the body and pull these things off, you know, and hook ‘em up to light taps or digest the energy or squash ‘em, or light fire to one corner of the ridge and blow up the rest of the ridge. It’s very fascinating. You can handle a ridge any way you want to. You just simply get out and take a look at it and do something with it. Ground it, or turn it purple or change it around or fit it across the back instead of across the back of the head. And then finally you’ve changed it often enough, you said, „To hell with it. We won’t bother with this ridge any more.“

And he’ll say, „Okay.“ The only trouble was he dropped a black cloth over it. It’s still there. He’s convinced he can’t make anything disappear. So you’d better work on something to make it disappear.

All right, let’s put another ridge on, and then mock up one and put it on, then fasten that one in good and strong. You say, „Wait a minute. I’m fooling with my own body, and the ridge which I just mocked up is a perfectly good, solid ridge.“ We’d better come off of this. We’d better not do this any more because that’s getting just too real.“ And then one day you say, „I wonder, if I put a ridge between those two E-Meter cans, if it’d short out the E-Meter?“ And you sigh deeply because there are the E-Meter cans lying several feet apart, and you’ve got a line between them and the needle registers.

And if he really can’t ever make anything disappear, you give him a real MEST object and make him disappear that one. How does he disappear that one? Give him a toothpick and let him throw it out the window.

You say, „I thought I was handling just… just imaginary things, and here I was handling real juice!“

Now, in other words, uh… at least get down to some level of activity where he can make these things come about.

And running a live flow, that’s running present time flow. You just manufacture energy and blow things up with it, that’s all. You just say, „Let’s see now. There’s a lot of ridges on me, or there’s a lot of ridges on this preclear, or there’s a lot of flows going on, or a lot of dispersals going on. Let’s see – what do we do about this? Hmrrrnmm, well, let’s just throw a beam at it. Let’s throw a beam at ‘em and burn ‘em up.“ And boy, you don’t want to get too fancy with that the first time your power starts coming on. You’ll blow the GE up – really. He’ll just go… start going „Ka-paw! Pow! Pow! Pow!“ And the preclear’s sitting there.

Now this uncreation follows… uncreation of MEST is a process right along with with creation of mock-ups. You can call it ‘unmocking’ because MEST is just a mock-up. That is, I’m telling you that because we’re shaky on our pins that we don’t know where MEST is. I can sure handle MEST – I’m sure you can too. But the truth of the matter is that you can take MEST away, in your space, really, surely as good as you could mock things up in your space.

If you wanted to be real ornery, just take a bead on his ridge – on a front ridge. It’s bad to blow ridges, to hell with blowing ridges. Just put them in yesterday or something. Why worry about blowing ‘em.

Now I… I want you to try that. I want you to try that. I want you to put some anchor points right now a few inches below the floor. Now unmock the floor. A few inches below the floor – unmock the floor. Just get the floor non-existent. It’ll give you a funny feeling if you do it. Sure you can take the floor right out from underneath you. –

Uh… but… uh… you put a beam on this ridge he’s got across his face, you could really raise hell with him. Just kind of tune it and say, „Kok! Wave length is so-and-so.“ You don’t have to say wave length any more. You say s… „Now match the wave length now. Okay, there’s the ridge. Now, an energy flow will flow – ker-whap!“

Actually, if any of you were really up scale, batting up around 6 or 8 on the tone scale with your mock-ups and so forth, you’d actually have a little trouble here. You’d probably have to take it up with John over there, and Helen, because pieces of the floor had probably gone missing – get thin.

And the guy’ll go „Booo!“

Now the upshot of this is that there is a method of springing the thetan. The thetan is in a what? A MEST universe object. So you do mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups. That’s fine. Lots of drill. Hell, don’t forget that there’s another process. It’s unmocking.

And you’ll say, „My God! What happened? What happened? Did a lightbulb blow up? I’m kind of blind. There was a flash.“ And it really will. We’re speaking in a term of reality, now, that you test with great ease. Those are the easier things.

Now, all right. Now let’ s get… put out anchor points. That’s spacation – getting him oriented in space. If he can’t get oriented in his own space, why get him oriented in… in… in MEST universe space at least, somewhat. Then get him oriented by putting out his own anchor points, and practice with that for a little while. And then get him into doing… doing mock-ups in that space. And then the next thing you do is put MEST objects in, actual MEST objects in – and unmock them.

Now as far as freeing a thetan by concept and feeling is concerned, and freeing the thetan in various other ways, present and future, by dichotomies and tone scale – all of that, we’ve been covering all this.

He’s in a body. You see, it’d be the same thing – if he could unmock the body, he could move out of it. It couldn’t hold him if it weren’t there in terms of a mock-up. Just as he could move into one of his own mock-ups and feel its weight. Well, he could… if he could unmock the body thoroughly, he, of course, would be free as a thetan. He could move anyplace.

„Get the concept that you need a body. Now let’s get the concept that you don’t need a body. Let’s get the concept that you do need a body“ – you’re not running a flow, really, and so…

So when your tough, real tough cases, and so forth… you can follow this process of unmocking.

And the guy says „But I DO need one.“

Now, you carry this process of unmocking far enough, you can mock up things that people can see, and you can unmock things and so on.

„Well, get the concept that you do. All right, now get the concept you don’t.“

So your next level… your next level of process – another thing on this – your next level of process above that is use of force. You’d come back every once in a while and start using force. And get the guy so good at using force he doesn’t have to use force. You don’t learn to use force by not wanting… just… just by saying, „To hell with force. I’m going to do this otherwise.“ You’re going to have to go through force objects, you’re going to have to be able to use force; I’m afraid that’s the only way out of it.

„But I do need one.“

And you go through this process: you have him pick up his f… one finger, and then you have him pick up two fingers, and then you have him pick up three fingers – using beams. They can do that very early in the case, lots of times. Have them pick up beams and then have them… have them pick up a finger and move a finger sideways. And then pick up the whole hand. And then pick up the hand up to the elbow. And then pick up the hand and yank it straight up into the air and throw it backwards. And… and uh… the guy is outside, of course. He has to be outside to do this.

„All right, get the concept that you do,“ and you say, „For Christ’s sakes! Get the concept that you do.“ And the guy runs it.

And uh… as far as I know. I guess maybe he could lean over. I guess you could, really, lean over your hand and put a beam down from the center of your… now that doesn’t sound very practical. It’s easier to move outside.

Two hours later, „You still got that?“

Anyway, uh… you could go ahead. And you pick up the hand, and then you get so that you pick up the other hand. And then… and because the guy is free to move objects which he customarily moves. He’s very convinced these objects are movable.

„Yeah – got the concept that I do.“ Two hours and fifteen minutes later, „You know I’m getting the idea that I don’t need this body!“

Now after he’s picked up hand after hand after hand, arms and both arms and so on, have him pick up his ankles – various methods of doing this. You put up a couple of anchor points and put a line from the anchor points, down around the ankle and have it hold hard and then shorten the line. Or push the anchor points wider. Very simple.

Well, you don’t just abandon it at that moment. You say, „All right, get the concept you don’t need the body.“ He’ll run that for an hour. „Now, get the concept you do need the body.“ He’s changed his mind again, flows reversed, you see? You’re not paying attention to the flow, you just hold the feeling and God knows what happens – or hold the concept, rather.

Or you erect a tripod and lengthen the tripod – any kind of a jerry-rig he cares to make. He’s actually picking up the hand with postulates, but he knows he has to use force. And so you’ll have to use force in order to do that so as to get up to a point where you can do it without force.’ It’s going through the middle of the scale.

Now the feeling is quite different than the flow. Aesthetics are very good. You are right on solid ground and as far as by dichotomies, why, there’s nothing easier than dichotomies to run – positive and negative. I mean your flow comes one way, then goes the other way.

All right, when he gets so that his hand can be picked up and his arm can be picked up and his legs can be picked up, why have him pick up his body rather forcefully – one direction or another – and handle his body from outside. Boy, that is worth a lot of processing: a guy gets bigger and stronger and tougher.

Dichotomy means yes and no – positive and negative. It says, for everything… now, somebody was saying, „How would you run Agree and Disagree on having?“ Well, get your agreement to have, get your disagreement in having – positive and negative. And you’ll get flows and they’ll flow around. Of course, that’s slow freight. Actually running flows and that sort of things or running engrams has this… has a bug in it, as a process, and why it was always a slow process.

But remember, in every case, as an auditor, that you mustn’t let him exceed what he can comfortably do at any one time. Keep insisting he do it, but grade it down a little bit so he’s always accomplishing something. In an all gradient scale – that’s the motto of the gradient scale – he must accomplish at least some of it. And you’ve got to do that. You mustn’t leave the auditor… you mustn’t leave the preclear in a failure.

The preclear has to postulate that he’s an effect of them before he has anything happen to him. He has to say, „All right, now I know that it’s there,“ and maybe this is just admitting it’s there. But at the same time he’s waiting to be an effect of an energy flow, never a cause of an energy flow.

I was going to say the preclear mustn’t leave the auditor in a failure either. It’s up to him, too.

So you’re processing somebody down scale, and when you’re running mock-up processing you’re postulating your preclear as cause continually, and never as an effect.

Actually where you guys are processing each other, the favorite trick of a preclear leaving the auditor in a failure is one that ought to have the preclear’s teeth kicked in. A preclear ought to be very careful never to leave the auditor in a failure. Never come around the next day and say, „I had a terrible slump… terrible slump right after you audited me, and I went in a terrible spin, and so forth. I felt… feel much better because you audited me but I’m in a terrible spin.“

He says, „Now look,“ he says. „I keep getting these mock-ups!“ He says, „My God, do you know the back of my neck is about to burn! I can just feel the flames coming on… off of it!“

Nuts! The auditor will audit you again. You don’t have to do that.

And you say, „Well, no, no, no. That’s just all right. All right, now get this anchor and put it back through the bottom of the boat. Now lift it up. All right, all right. It’s a lot of work.

Now… so anyway, uh… you start lifting a fellow up like this one way or the other and you get him very accustomed to handling force. Now don’t think just because he’s picked up his hands, arms and legs and made the body sit up and lie down again that you’ve really done a job on the exercise known as lifting. You haven’t done such an exercise yet. You supplement that exercise with mock-ups. You make him mock up something and lift it, mock up something and lift it, mock up something incredibly heavy and lift it, and then have him lift a part of his body. Don’t leave him in periods of long agreement with the MEST universe.

„You know, my neck…!“

„Lift the body, lift the body.“ Then „Mock up a body and lift it. Mock up a body and lift it.“ Then „Lift the body. Lift the body. Mock up another body and lift it. Heavier, bigger, stronger body,“ and so on. You’ll find out that he’ll stay very well off.

You say, „We’re worried about an anchor. Now how about that?“

Otherwise you’ll find his energy what? Declining, because he’s agreeing with the MEST universe and the energy in the MEST universe is triggered and rigged so he will decline the more he uses it, unless he also creates in his own universe at the same time.

Now don’t think, really, that your mock-up has to be very similar to the ill the person is running, because as he gets better and better, you can test whether he’s getting better and better because at first when you’ve got Mama, you had Mama – identification, see? Mock-up identified with reality. And then next you could… you could get something dressed up in women’s clothes and so forth, vaguely the same period, and that could be called Mama. And then… he’s perfectly satisfied with that. Now the next time he gets something and he’s got a broomstick. And he can… he can call that Mama. And now the next thing he’s got out in front of him there, uh… he’s got a… his mother never had anything to do with church and he’s got a hymn book. And he can call that Mama. And then he’s got a crumpled-up sheet of paper – no significance, you understand. I mean there’s no symbolized association.

And you can find yourself doing that from here on out as long as you hang around this universe. You’ll be in a good shape as long as you alternate these two things. When you do something in the MEST universe, do a mock-up. Do a mock-up. Do the ‘mock-up a lot better.

Now, Freudian psychoanalysis halted people in the association band. It at least permitted them to associate instead of identify, and then stopped them in that band, by insisting that it was an association and that their symbolizations associated with real life. And then having gotten them into that band, took them downband again by making them agree.

If you insist on handling things with MEST universe laws, and so forth, mock ‘em up and handle them with some other laws. Then alternate that. Here you are walking around 24 hours a day, agreeing with the MEST universe. Well, get in a few mock-ups – much more important TO YOU PERSONALLY.

And if the IQ were ever taken on a patient undergoing psychoanalysis, daily tests – that sort of thing – if there’d ever been any thorough work done on this field…

It’s more important really – that low on the tone scale you may… maybe don’t see this – but it’s really more important to you to do a good mock-up than to do a good job down at the factory or something. It’s more important. It’ll work out in the long run to be.

You think I’m just being sarcastic. Well, for any field to stand around and pretend we do thorough research. Oh, my God! They never did any. You look in the books and all you’ll find is opinions, opinions, opinions, opinions, opinions. „Where’s the data? How many people were run to get this opinion?“

So this lifting is quite interesting. You do your mock-up interspersed with – and remember too that when you mock up, why you have to go through the same series and sequences as always. But on your… on your lifting, work for speed. Don’t just get… work for force. Don’t try to be a barbell man, you know. Get down there and go „Creak – creak – creak. Look! Muscles! Look! Facsimiles!“ Same thing: muscles, facsimiles. And „Creak – and now I’ve got it up here and it’s only taken me a half an hour to get it up to my shoulders. And just a minute while we read another copy of Bernard McFadden’s latest magazine.“ And uh… you’ve… you’ve got that…

„Well, we never ran anybody on that opinion that’s… the aesthetics wouldn’t let us. Let’s go into the aesthetics before we go into any reason. Let’s not get to the aesthetics afterwards.“

Now don’t get that at all. You aren’t trying to build a tank. You’re trying to build a fast plane. You want this guy so he can pick the arm, throw it up it full length, a way an arm could never fly if you were just uh… lifting it with muscles. Pick it up at full length, practically knock it out of its socket again, and drop it – disconnect! Learn how to disconnect. Handle and disconnect; handle and disconnect. And for God’s sakes, if you never do anything else in drills at all, learn how to disconnect!

Uh… and – by the way, what’s wrong with most young writers is when they’re trying to make this society agree with them and buy their stuff. They fail to get a reasonable bone structure with which to be aesthetic. And they insist on being aesthetic without a bone structure.

One thing you never learn. You have to hold to „you want, you want.“ And all the energy you’re surrounded with says, „I want you, I want you,“ or „Don’t want me,“ or something like that.

Psychoanalysis did that – Freudian psychoanalysis insisted on being very aesthetic, without any guts. And uh… they didn’t know what this was and yet they tried to dress it up. This society and Man at the state he was, wouldn’t stand for this. And that is not just the failure of psychoanalysis. I would not say it failed – it never got started.

It… it’s all saying, „Don’t disconnect! Don’t disconnect! Don’t disconnect!“ As a consequence, the first time you get your preclear out there and throw him… have him throw a tractor beam on something, you say, „Now turn it off.“ Yeah, he can turn it off. Yeah, sure. Five, six, ten minutes – three seconds, eight seconds. That’s slow! That’d be…

Anyway uh… the point we’re having for supper tonight is simply this little slight datum. And that is that you want your preclear to be cause all the distance you can, so even though he starts to get into a period… First he’s identifying. He has to see Mama in the mock-up to have Mama in the mock-up. Mama has to be live and breathing and everything before he’s… she’s really satisfied that he’s there. Of course, if he’s negative, he can’t even get Mama in the mock-up, it’s below that.

Would you turn some guy loose with an automobile who had a one-minute reaction time? He saw the stoplight and one minute later put on the brakes. Wouldn’t be safe, would it?

And then he gets a broomstick and then he gets a prayer book and then he has a crumpled piece of paper. And then he’s… he tells you he’s got a whup. And you say, „What’s a whup?“

Now, would you turn somebody loose with an automobile who had a three-second reaction time? He sees the stoplight and he puts on the brakes – sees the spotlight and two and three. Boy, there’s an awful lot of fenders smashed in that period of time. That’s not safe. That’s a… that’s fast for a lot of preclears. They put a tractor beam on something, you say, „Now turn it off“ and the second you say, „Turn it off,“ it’ll be turned off about – one, two, and he’s cut it off.

He says, „Well, you can’t see it. Well, yes, you can. See?“ And you look at this thing, and it’s a nice piece of Picasso design work – that’s Mama. No significance.

Ahhh, he might as well take a gun and shoot himself, theta-wise. It’s murder! You mean, when a body gets hurt on which he’s got a tractor beam – for some reason or other – when that body gets hurt, he can’t get that tractor beam off? The second he sees the body is going to get hurt, he can’t get the tractor beam off fast enough. Because at this moment he’s rattled. He sees the body is going to be hurt. It’s… he’s rattled and he tries to disconnect and it’s going to take him that long? That’s why he’s here.

DON’T EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, exclamation point, underscore, in italics in 18 points caps, ASK YOUR PRECLEAR TO EVALUATE WHAT HIS MOCK-UP MEANS IN TERMS OF REALITY. If you do that, you have missed the whole point of 8008. You’ve just missed the whole cockeyed show.

Out West when they used to bury a dead man they’d say, „A case of ‘too slow’.“ And I can look at all the cases in the room and know that I’m looking at a case called ‘too slow’.

Never ask him… you… you know damn well, you say, „Isn’t that interesting? Every time we talk about his boyhood he gets this factory chimney – ha! Phallic symbolism. Every time we do.“

Get that drill. Turn those tractor beams on… just put them on something and hold it still. You don’t have to move it. Just put a couple of tractor beams on something and turn them off. Put them on something – turn them off. Put a mock-up out here and put a tractor beam on it, and turn it off. Put a mock-up – turn it off. Mock – turn it off. Put it on a real object – turn it off. Real object – turn it off. Your own objects – turn it off. Real objects – your own object – turn it off. MEST universe objects – turn it off.

Well, you know something? If you were to suddenly point this out to him or have him find it out, you know he’d go down tone scale on a meter and in IQ. The work in this field has been carefully done – extremely carefully done. And I wish somebody had done that careful work before, because I had to do a lot of work that should have been done.

And then what? When you’re picking up pieces of this body, learn to hit and run. Pick ‘em up and hold them once in a while just to show you can get the persistence, hold ‘em for a half an hour. So, a half an hour’s nothing. They’re… just hang a line up so they’ll stay up half an hour. It’s all right.

That made me mad, by the way. I got awful mad about that. But… I went on a tearing fury about five years ago. I found out all of a sudden there wasn’t any statistical data in the field of psychoanalysis. And I – unhhhh! It’s been in existence since 1894 and nobody’s ever done statistics. And I kept asking people and I went around to psychological departments and I went around to other people and they said, „Why, no. It doesn’t exist.“ And they said, „Well, we have experimental psychology.“

Uh… used to do that every once in a while. It used to upset people like mad. Put your arm up in the air and just hold it there in an uncomfortable position, up like this. And of course, you’re not holding your arm up at all. You’ve got a line on it. It’s just staying there.

And I said, „No, no, no, no, no. I want to know what’s happening in the field of psychoanalysis. I’m not interested in anything else. Now where’s the statistics?“ Ummmph!

Or can you imagine anybody’s body staying in this position, perfectly steady for an hour? There’s no trick to it at all. It’s that kind of thing the yogis saw… saw some boys doing with dolls way back on the track and the yogi’s been trying ever since. All you do is hang the body up or tie in some direction or other and go off and leave, you see? It’s like tethering a horse. Anyway, uh… now, picking up a limb and dropping it is terribly important. Pick up a limb – drop it. Pick up a limb – drop it. You know what it works out to be finally? It works out to be you don’t put lines on ‘em any more. You say, „The limb will lift and drop.“ The limb will lift. There it is – very peculiar.

I’ll be damned if I didn’t have to sit down and for 30 days – I would have been much rather out there pushing a car on the desert, or I would have been much happier down in a hotspot or someplace else. I have to sit down and run people on libido theories.

But you have to be tough enough with force to be able to do it with force before you can say to a limb, „It will now lift.“ See?

You say, „Well now, how is your guilt“ – and by the way, I did this very well. I’m very well educated and so on. „Yes, Mrs. Jones. Yes, life has been hard for you, hasn’t it. Well, now supposing you just go on talking. Uh-huh. Just go on talking – that’s right. Just go on talking some more.“

So you do that drill, do it fast. And then get so you can pick up the whole body, drop it down on the floor. I won’t tell you where to go from there. If you haven’t figured it out by this time, you ought to quit!

And you all of a sudden said, „Oh again. What was that again?“

There’s one thing about this whole thing! Don’t you go throwing this planet out of its orbit! Now I can give you the names and addresses of quite a few planets, and I’ll even go with you in great cooperation, great cooperation on a very specific subject: I will incinerate and help you burn up pieces of country or towns, if you must, that you don’t like about the planet. But let’s not get so generalized.

„Ohhhh, why, you seem to be fixated on the Grand Canyon. You’ve mentioned the Grand Canyon eight times. Now what does the Grand Canyon mean to you? Oh? Tch-tch-tch-tch-tch.“ Just go ahead on this line.

Now if we’ve gone to all the work of getting a lot of auditors together and having a good exit depot, we can have this thing smooth as grass. That’s okay. You could put a nice cordon around it so anything comes in – a spaceship comes in – why, you just happen to be noticing that we’re going to be in trouble. Or an atom bomb comes over, or something like that, somebody would say, „Hey, look at the atom bomb!“ The fellow takes the fuse out of the thing – it’s coming over at 30,000 miles an hour – and takes the fuse out of the thing, and says, “Hey, yeah! Ha-ha! Isn’t that a funny little top? Hey Bill, can you use some atomic power? Oh, you don’t need any. Well, let’s sell it to somebody. I know somebody I don’t want to survive. Let’s give it to him.“

Now let’s find out that – I… I didn’t know what I was doing to this degree: I didn’t know a lot of things, but I knew this, that I could get people who had had analysis, whose college within the last three or four years, had been – therefore psychometry was fully in existence at the moment of their leaving college – who had then had an analysis.

Well, let’s not go throwing this planet out of its orbit or getting fancy with it. You understand that.

God! Getting the statistics together took about 30 days of precious time and the statistics were damning! Oh, they were just grim! Terrible! It said 25% of them went spinny. Hah!

Another thing, is don’t go putting the sun out. I know some good suns – you can put those out – lots of ‘em. If you’ve got to put a sun out, mock up your own. Go over, out and beyond and that sort of thing. Because once you’ve gone to all the trouble of orienting and learning the culture of an exit depot – well, you don’t want anybody messing it up too much.

It said some percentage I won’t mention committed suicide because of it. And you know where the gimmick is? They, made the patient agree with the real universe and it spun him in. And they showed him that every dream he had, every dream he ever could have was really caused by the real universe. And that he wasn’t free to have an illusion of his own, but that every illusion was motivated by the real universe. And that’s a control operation that kills them. It slaughters them in their tracks. That’s right.

I know there’s a lot of people we can do without, there’s a lot of thetans we can do without. I know that. We’re not even setting ourselves up as judge and jury on the thing. It happens that they’re completely hopeless. They… they actually wreck themselves on the whole deal.

So, don’t ever let me catch you pulling the same operation. The course runs the opposite direction entirely, Get them to disagree with the MEST universe. And not even by fighting it, just „to hell with it!“

But uh… just… good thing that two things are happening. That… that is to say that this is all incredible and that none of this could happen. That’s very, very… that’s a good thing. It makes it whether you want it or not. I stand here and I… I’m telling you two varieties of data. And one of those varieties of data is the actual scientific datum which has been dug up out of this universe and out of all universes. That’s the… the specific datum, and it’s application to the homo sapiens and beings in this MEST universe. And that data you can be darned sure of.

And you’ll find out their differentiation above the association level – they differentiate more and more and more and more and more and more – until there isn’t any relationship between what they’re mocking up and the MEST universe.

Next is the data… I… it’s not data. Next is my opinions. Hell’s bells. I reward myself for my labors by having opinions.

Okay. Let’s call it an afternoon.

Uh… just separate out those two things. Don’t separate out on the thing that Scientology’s one thing, Hubbard’s another. You say, „You know, Dianetics is one thing, Hub…“ That’s old Art Seppos, the old… flatulence… the old… the old stupid bum! He… every copy of the first book that sold he lost a little more control of his publishing company. He wanted to walk in and buy it for two thousand bucks. When he got through, the publishing company was worth a hundred thousand bucks.

Hope you’ve learned something this afternoon.

So he fixed up a preface and all sorts of things so the book wouldn’t sell, and he wouldn’t distribute it or anything else. He was having cat fits two-and-a-half years ago because that book made a pauper out of him. He couldn’t buy the company that published the book. He was only the president of the company. Oh, boy! And he used to tell people that. Anything he could do – he once called trans-continental to San Francisco to tell the „San Francisco Chronicle“ what a horrible fellow I was. It was the opening night of a lecture there. And… we’ve had some real squirrels here on Earth. You’ve got no idea.

But the point I’m making is… is… he didn’t go in for that, but just… just modify the thing like this: There’s a lot of viewpoints that I have that you might not have at all. If I have a lot of axes to grind, they’re very obvious axes – extremely obvious.

Uh… and they actually don’t influence this data at all. What I give you as fact is fact. What I give you as opinion – you’re welcome to it or not as the case may be. But I’m not asking you to agree with me. For God’s sakes, don’t do that! Just go look.

Goodnight.
