(For the first time Certainty magazine has the scoop on new material, beating out the PAB and Ability, the only other magazines in Dianetics and Scientology which have the goals of helping people.)

Dear John,

... I have just ended here seven good hard weeks of training, being on the platform five-and-a-half to seven hours a day, training, I am not quite sure how many students, but in excess of thirty, and for the first time in Scientology history, getting this type of comment from the students trained: “This is the first course I was ever on where I would in the last week permit anyone on the course to audit me.” This is literally true. We sweepingly made these people into fine auditors. Great Britain is now richer to that degree.

... The British operation is quite interesting. It occupies one-and-one-quarter floors of Brunswick House, a building on the comer of Palace Gardens Terrace and Bayswater Avenue, one of the most traffic jammed streets in London. It consists of a great many offices, classrooms and auditing rooms, and has a staff of about twenty people, there being about three hundred trained auditors certified in Great Britain. Of course, I don’t mean in the British sense that these auditors are certified, since that in Great Britain means “insane,” which is why we call them Hubbard Professional Auditors here. We have now given up the small quarters down at 163 Holland Park Avenue, because these were far too cramped, and inadequate for our purposes. The guys here took one of the large rooms and painted, carpeted, and draped, and fixed it up into a very swanky office for me which is still in a state of improvement, but which I have been using these days since the close of the ACC course. The ACC course did not give me any time whatsoever to think about occupying more office than my hat.

There are five items in Scientology which have been discovered which make the difference between slow cases and fast cases, failed cases and successful cases. These are:

My first job when I first got here was immediately visible to the eye. I had to make some up-to-date crackerjack auditors. I went ahead and did so. I am still doing that on night courses and HPA courses and these people are really getting the results and coming right along. We have an auditing staff here of about five under the direct supervision of Dr. Ann Walker. It is a great oddity that almost everybody in this operation here has been with the movement since the earliest days. The ranks keep swelling, but those most intimate to the organization here are long-time and old-time Dianeticists and Scientologists, a thing which speaks very well.

NATIVE STATE: A thetan in his native state has the potential of knowing everything. If one knows everything he cannot have a game. To have a game one must make a postulate:

... This scene is much less foreign to one’s eye than one would expect. London is sort of a New York of 1890, but much, much faster, with its streets jammed with fast small cars, huge fast buses. It is a very exciting town, and a very sociable town. In fact it is so sociable that I have an awfully hard time keeping my calender clear enough to get some work done. I feel like a New York debutante complaining about parties, parties, parties.

FIRST POSTULATE: I do not know about...... SECOND POSTULATE: I know about that item. THIRD POSTULATE: I have forgotten about that item. FOURTH POSTULATE: I remember that item.

... Tonight is Thursday night when the second night of the week briefing course for auditors in general is held and at 8:30 I will talk to them for an hour. I am going to talk to them explaining to them that you can’t run present time problems on preclears who are low in havingness if you have them solve the problems. Such preclears can be run only by having them invent problems. Even if they invent problems of comparable magnitude, they are liable to drop too low on havingness.

The first postulate, because it is not perverted or denied, is the truth. The second postulate, since it denies the first postulate, is a lie. The third postulate is the not-is-ness of the second postulate. The fourth postulate is the alter-is-ness of the third postulate. Hence the act of continuous remembering brings about the changes in mass which we call ridges. The act of forgetting is putting aside and twisting something which is already a lie. The act of knowing about SOMETHING is not only an invention but a denial of the first postulate. The first postulate is a denial of the native state of a being. Hence we have the various conflicts of the mind.

I very much miss, despite all this sociability, my friends in Washington, since I am doing a piece of research work which is right straight down the groove. I am really shooting for the moment on this one. SLP will stay pretty much the way it is for some time to come, since it was fought for and won with the ACC and tested while training them. But what I am shooting for now will be done with the co-operation of the staff auditors here at Brunswick House. This is too early really for any general release, but I have done two things with some new processes, which make me extremely hopeful for the future of Scientology. Boy, you ain’t seen nothing yet, John.

CONFUSION: Random knowingness and not knowingness create when unaligned a confusion.

... I hear good comment everywhere on Ability.

AXIOM 53: A Stable Datum is necessary to the alignment of data.

AXIOM 54: A tolerance of confusion and an agreed upon Stable Datum on which to align the data in a confusion are at once necessary for a sane reaction across the eight dynamics. (This defines sanity.)

ONE: Awareness of the auditor, the auditing room, that a session is in progress and that the preclear is being audited.

TWO: Two-way Communication on a casual basis. THREE: The delivery of the question.

FOUR: Communication Lag.

FIVE: The acknowledgement of the question. SIX: The duplication of that exact question.

Establish ONE of Rudiments.

Discuss any present-time problem. If there is one ask the preclear what he means to do about it often enough to as-is some of its confusion by injecting into it stable data or unbalancing it by deciding to make a forward motion toward it.

Follow remainder of Rudiments while doing so.

The object of Locational Processing is to establish a stability in the environment of the preclear on the subject of objects and people. It can be run in busy thoroughfares, graveyards, confused traffic or anywhere that there is or is not motion of objects and people. It is run in the auditing room itself to orient the preclear.

Commands: “Notice the (object).”

“Pick out some people who seem especially real to you.” “Spot a car.”

When a preclear is oriented and up in A-R-C, shift to:

The object of the Separateness version of Locational Processing is to establish and run out identifications. It is noteworthy that its opposite Togetherness does not run and is not a workable process.

Commands: “Select an object from which you are separate.” “Select an object which is separate from you.”

Run the first command only until the end of any given session or until the preclear “dopes off.” Then run the reverse command the next session until its end or until the preclear “dopes off.” If grogginess or “dope-off” occurs run the opposite command until pc is alert, then return to the “command of the session.” This method is used on all commands in LEVEL ONE only.

This is used to remedy valence difficulties, to establish identities and run them out, and to raise the tone level of the preclear on the third dynamic.

Commands: “Select a person from whom you are separate.” “Select a person who is separate from you.”

This process is utilized only when the earlier steps of Locational Processing have been completed and when the preclear is in excellent A-R-C with his auditor. This is the power-process of the group of processes we call Locational Processing. An extraordinary amount of two-way communication and in particular acknowledgement must be used to run this process. Run at least 15 hours in frequented places.

Commands: ”Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about that (indicating or describing) person.”

“Tell me something that person can NOT-KNOW about you.”

To not-know is an ability.

This level is reached when the preclear is originating communications smoothly and, without coaching, acknowledging the auditor’s communications well.

There is no command, as such. There is a subject of communication: secrets. It is expected here that the preclear will now discuss freely his various problems.

This is the subjective level. Here the preclear is invited to inspect his own “reactive bank” or his own thought processes. All the processes of Dianetics and early Scientology were subjective processes; it is noted that these did not work on some persons since no homo sapiens can actually introvert safely with a very good auditor on the job unless he has already attained this level.

Definition Processing is done by asking the preclear over and over, smoothly and pleasantly, keeping good two-way communication, to define such things as ==Exteriorization, Problems and Solutions, Creativeness, etc. ==

Commands: “What is?”

This is done by having the preclear invent various ideas or considerations, by which he creates stable data to displace aberrated stable data.

Commands: “Invent some problems.”

“Invent some solutions.” “Assign some no-intentions.”

The resolution of only persistent engrams is done by Level Three Engram Running. It is only done when specific difficulties are apparent from obvious engrams. The name is also given and the process used on strange manifestations in the reactive bank such as “demons” and “hallucinations.” WARNING: This process is only done when lower levels are entirely flat.

Commands: “Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about that picture.” “Tell me something that that picture can NOT-KNOW about you.”

These commands are run, a few of one, a few of the other, then a few of the first again, etc. The command can be varied when some other manifestation is being addressed.

Run “Things you NOT-KNOW about...” with the Expanded Gita List of SOP 8.

This is run exactly as given in earlier manuals. This is the upper harmonic of Locational Processing and accustoms the preclear to taking commands, discovering that these do not create new confusions, and making decisions.

This is done until the preclear can duplicate easily. The process is done with a book and a bottle as the two objects. It is done exactly as given in earlier manuals with the following command changes:

Commands: “Do you see that book?”

“Walk over to it.” “Pick it up.”

“Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its colour.” “Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its temperature.” “Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its weight.” “Put it down in exactly the same place.”

“Do you see that bottle?” “Walk over to it.”

“Pick it up.”

“Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its colour.” “Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its temperature.” “Tell me something you can NOT-KNOW about its weight.” “Put it down in exactly the same place.”

“Do you see that book?” Etc. etc.

Run with good two-way communication. Do not vary commands. Does not need to be followed by regular Opening Procedure by Duplication.

This is the level of the remedy of havingness and spotting spots. By modern processing these are done simultaneously in addressing the drilling of the exteriorized thetan.

The only change would be in using showers of hellos and okays or “things you can NOT-KNOW” on spots in the universe with which the preclear might have any difficulty.

By modern processes the preclear should have been exteriorized some time earlier in processing without much being done about it beyond recognizing the fact clearly.

Any preclear exteriorized earlier than this release should be started at Level One and carried through all steps.
