The exploration of the theta lines has been underway for a very long time. It has been underway, certainly, thousands of years and, with myself, has been underway now, oh, better than fifteen years intensively.

& Voice in audience: He's looking for me, that's why he hasn't found you.

This machine, the electropsychometer, has been acting as a pilot since about the first of January 1952. Very early I wanted a pilot; I had to have some method of metering prectears which was not dependent at all upon opinion or judgment. And I went out and looked at the existing lie detector equipment and I could not find anything which would do a job of work.

& Yeah?

Now, Volney Mathison out on the Coast heard a talk out there one day, and I mentioned this fact. RCA had told me, Bell Labs had told me, numerous engineers had told me, that by the time you took a current and built it up stage by stage through battery set and battery set and battery set, you'd have to put somebody in a wire cage (a lot of people ought to be there in the opinion of engineers, anyway), and you put somebody in a wire cage of copper screening so as to cut down the interference, and one of them suggested that you hooked the needles into his brain tissue (I looked at him quickly to see if he was joking - he wasn't), and this way you possibly might be able to get a read - which would still have variation and fluctuation ad infinitum.

& Voice in audience: Just waiting to put my me with the filing tax. I ain't saying nothing.

I had one of the fanciest electroencephalographs made and it didn't do anything very much, police detectors didn't do anything very much, and Mathison went to work and he floated a current within a current.

& What do you know? Well we've got to make a couple of theta clears quick and wreck these income tax people right quick.

This machine is relatively simple, but it's a current floating inside another current, and actually gets from a tenth of a millionth to a fiftieth of a millionth amperes, something like that, per current. I haven't the technical data on this machine at my fingertips.

Tonight, tonight I'm going to give you two, two talks with possibly a very short demonstration. I'm going to carry this forward very rapidly, I didn't realize last night until the intermission that a lot of people completely unfamiliar with Dianetics were present and I'm going to feed it to you hot and fast, just more or less like it will come out on the summer course.

But what it actually does is throw a current of electricity through meter worksthe body and this will hit the various centers which connect up with the memory, and so on. And what happens is a facsimile moves in or out as the memory or the beingness of the person is restimulated, and so this little tiny trickle of electricity is shut off or let go. And so you get your difference of responses on this machine. And it's very simple in its operation, but it is considerably different. And I am, by the way, very much indebted to Mathison just on this basis of all of a sudden having a pilot.

Tonight I want to talk to you about theta bodies. The anatomy of a theta body itself and the anatomy of a composite which you are calling you, and you might find this of considerable interest. This is a matter of research which is quite old. People have been working in this field on Earth here, that I know about, for the last ten thousand years, and they've been working elsewhere on this field for many more years than that. And the data which has been amassed has more or less up to this time, been one sided. Nobody went backwards on this data. That is to say, they knew how to do things to theta bodies and they knew how theta bodies would behave when you did things to them, but they did not know what to do to a theta body to undo what was done to it.

Well, as soon as this pilot was available I tried to work with it; but during a present lifetime, even then its responses, if you just take one lifetime, are not very terribly marked. Grandfather's death will fall a couple of degrees - couple of divisions. Don't get me wrong: you can find out a great many things about this lifetime, such as you can find out whether or not somebody is loyal or disloyal, or something of the sort. It is very valuable for this lifetime, but I'm talking about auditing now.

In other words, the reverse process. Now by getting some thought, emotion, effort recordings, facsimiles and now the anatomy itself of the theta body it is possible for us to turn around and reverse vector on this whole problem. We can take apart what has been done to theta bodies. We can examine what theta bodies are natively and what are their, at least the greater part of their total potentials.

Well, when you look over the last trillion years, the incidents you're looking for are incidents which drop this machine a dial, a half a dial, five dials, ten dials - in other words, this machine really acts up. And the incidents which we are trying to audit and the reactions which we are trying to get and find, locate and pin down are traceable very easily on this instrument.

It becomes obvious that nothing that has been done to a theta body in the last trillion years, if you will pardon my statement, I'm merely following an electro psychometer's reading preclear after preclear, trillion or trillions of years is about the age of the theta body, MEST universe time. It is discoverable now that the theta body at one time possessed enormous potentials and did not need very much of what we call experience. And that these potentials were seen and recognized for their potentialities, the potentialities of the theta body were such that at no time could anyone thoroughly control them. And today theta bodies can turn around and move out of this control sector.

I know I can be accused of putting in plugs for this electropsychometer but actually they're not plugs. It isn't possible to look back through the past as an uncleared individual without this machine.

So the whole effort of the last umpteen lord knows how long years, has been a bust. There, in other words, the efforts of controlling, localizing, centralizing, compounding, impacting, upsetting, turning around, using theta bodies has been fruitless. Nobody knew how to turn these things around until he knew something about thought, emotion, effort. Now all of a sudden we take apart the composite theta body which is you, into its component theta bodies, and we take these apart as regard to the experience, and we find the potentiality of which a central theta line is capable. And this is not slight, this is tremendous. We're back at the potentiality as it was, plus the knowledge of how to take it apart if it gets any other way than how it was. So we've made a little bit out of this, if anything.

You get somebody up into a state of Theta Clear, why, he can take a look and read somebody else's mind very, very readily and very rapidly - probably much more accurately than this machine can.

Now if anybody becomes uncomfortable while I'm talking here, be assured it is probably a temporary condition. Very few of these composite bodies are very well stuck together. They're not well glued, in other words, and at the first signals of awareness, things start to happen. Actually at this time and with the subject matter which I'm giving you tonight, you won't probably experience much more than a mild somatic or a hot somatic or feel an empty space or something of the sort. But what we're dealing with is very root stuff. Up to this time we've been dealing with facsimiles. Now we are dealing with the theta body and part, partly with facsimiles. But if you can introduce the awareness of each part of the composite which is you, you get total awareness and you also lose a lot of parts; this is not bad.

But how do we get anybody up to the state of Theta Clear? Well, we've got a pilot. Now, this pilot went in ahead of the research line and so the auditing procedures which have been developed have been developed right along the same line as the research line. They follow as a parallel line. What we have, actually, is a series of incidents and reactions which are easily traceable on a psychometer. And the psychometer also lends reality to the preclear and, additionally, lends a great deal of certainty to the auditor. Because the auditor can be auditing any one of at least seven entities. And this is where the psychometer comes in very handy. He starts auditing one entity and the machine is operating.

It is interesting as we view the fact of theta bodies, how many people were very right on the subject. When I was a very young fellow in India, the things that I was told were to me undemonstrable to a large extent, and yet one had a haunting feeling that they were so. And one could go around and look at people here and there and see that there was some ghost of proof about this. Now we have tools that take apart practically everything that has been stated correctly about the human soul, the human beingness and so on. And we can examine this for ourselves, which makes this very interesting.

Now, he audits the preclear with the electrodes in the preclear's hands. And it doesn't matter too much under this type we are doing now whether the preclear looks at this needle or not. You hit the incidents that are the incidents and that needle will fly; he can't stop it.

I have found this a very fascinating line of research. You might realize that much of this research has been kept under a lid. The tone scale of Dianetics which was drawn in December and January 1950-51, had a bar up at the top of it which said "One thousand, capabilities unknown," or "capabilities unexplored," I was actually into this line of research with both feet at the time. But we had to build a bridge. Now that bridge was simply learning the mechanics of thought, emotion and effort. How does the theta body effect the physical universe, how does the physical universe effect the theta body?

And so he watches the needle as he's auditing along, and so on, and he knows whether or not his prectear is doing anything. And your preclear, for instance, may go into a boil-off. Is he in a boil-off or is he asleep? Now that's a question. Now, you've sat alongside of a preclear sometimes for hours while he was (quote) 'boiling off' Only he wasn't! He was asleep.

Let us take it now just as thoroughly and as calmly and dispassionately as MEST anatomy is taken out of Gray's historic book on anatomy, and look at a composite body. A human being, what we're calling today homo sapiens, is a composite of about seven theta lines, about seven. And these theta lines are each one a theta body in it's own right, and some of these seven are slightly composite. That is to say, they may consist of two or three, but they call them central theta lines. Now these are theta bodies. They come together from their first level into a greater and greater degree of complexity, simply by adding new lines or adding new bodies. And this is no more, no less complicated than simply taking the digit two, which is evidently the basic unit and then we add two more, we add three, and then we add two more on top of that. There are usually three specific incidents on the track which are additive incidents, call them in slang, joiners. And these lines come together then. First they suddenly appear as two, there are two theta bodies which become a composite of one theta body.

What's the difference between a boil-off and asleep? He keeps moving through the incident in a boil-off, and you get characteristic needle fluctuations that shows that he's hitting holders and bouncers and everything; he's going through this incident and the needle fluctuates up and surges down and goes back and forth, and maybe it does it more slowly when he's so dopey. But all of a sudden you start to get a little gradual tone rise; then the machine quiets down. And you go down to the foot of the bed and give him a good sound kick on the soles of his feet. The machine will do a jump, and you come back and sit down in the chair and say, "All right. Now let's start in at the beginning of it again." "Rrr-rurr-rw-ruff"

Now I'm not talking now in terms of all the incidents there are. You see, each one of these has had an experience before it joins up as this first composite. And we'll call this first composite a personality, something of the sort. Now here you have then the basic unit of two. Back of that, these two have broken away from the main body of theta, two or three minor incidents have occurred and we get down to this basic unit of two. That's joiner one. Usually one faces forward and one faces back. They are put together face to face. Now these are outside of any universe that we know about. They begin outside of any universe that we know about. And they have the potentialities of goals. And each one probably has a slightly different goal than the other one, so that you get a good balance between the two. They have agreed on what their goals are and they've also agreed that their goals are different, some slight degree.

"All right, let's pick it up now at the beginning, and go all through it again." And you watch that needle and the needle will flick and move, and it'll show you he's moving on the track, and he's goin through the incident and everything is fine, and then all of a sudden it'll bog again. Shake him out of it.

We come down the line a little bit further and we get joiner one which is the first possibility of a body and this is another universe than the MEST universe again, usually. And I am now describing an average line, a line which you might find varying considerably from preclear to preclear. But your added three permits the first two to have a body. And this body possibly has many descriptions, you can get it variously described. But it doesn't have perceptions really as we know perceptions, because you still have theta body awareness of immortality and continuance and proceeding. Now on the entrance into the MEST universe, there is an additional addition.

In such a wise, you can get auditing done. But about 80 percent of your boil-off, so-called, is actually sleep. And the sleep doesn't do anybody any good, but the boil-off with the incident in motion definitely does. So that's the first thing this machine does for you, is save all the time you've been sitting alongside of the preclear watching a (quote) boil-off (unquote).

Now this talk I'm giving you is not a talk describing the various incidents. I'm just showing you here is additive factors. These lines are coming together, and each time you have more composite for a body. Now that's what's important because these things are making a body or they're entering bodies and so on.

Now, tie next thing that it does is tells you if you've slipped off an entity and into another entity - if you slipped off one theta line and into the other theta line. That's the next thing it tells you. The reason this another in auditing happens is very simple. You're just getting fine needle reaction, you re getting surges down that shows you're hitting things and that you're really auditing, and this entity, this theta line that you're addressing, is just clearing up just dandy, and all of a sudden the machine said, 'Mmm.' The fellow says, "Well, and so-and-so and so-and-so.' "Well now, let's go through it again."

Then you get what we call the genetic line. Now this genetic line, which produces your present body, actually is a continuance through the MEST universe here on Earth. And you didn't join this line as the composite theta body line, "you", until well, varying terms of years ago, maybe two, three or ten thousand years ago. But this genetic line has its own theta body, and as the Greeks said, the mind was in the stomach. it carried what you might call a theta body line in the stomach. That was its center of awareness. And when it was joined, it was joined in the head by the other lines and in short, you had a genetic line coming along and being joined by an already composite line.

"Oh, I am. So-and-so and so-and-so." Machine just sitting there - see, movin a little drifting - that's all.

Now the composite line had what you might call a stomach theta body, or a stomach soul. And this stomach soul and the genetic line soul are overlaid in the middle of the body. And their conflicts, upsets and so forth are many, and there is your anxiety stomach, your general fear reaction, and the theta body composite that comes in on the theta body line, not the genetic line. We'll call this other a genetic theta line, just for a better use. This composite line stomach soul is quite often if not almost always, psychotic. That stomach soul is psychotic. It has been through just once too many and a little bit too much. And it's interesting that you can take this, this particular theta body and bring it up to present time and knock out an anxiety stomach very easily, or even, even let this entity go away.

What happened was, is you slid off the entity that you were auditing and you went in over on another entity. His beingness became somebody else at that moment and when his beingness became somebody else, what you're trying to clear up on the case isn't clearing up. And in such a wise, you can audit an engram half out of a theta line, and then go over to another theta line and audit the engram half out of it. And then jump into a completely disrelated theta line and a completely disrelated incident and go auditing merrily on that, and what have you accomplished? You've accomplished a complete confusion on the part of two or three theta lines, and you haven't cleaned up any one of them. And so you will do this just so long and you'll get a perceptic shut-off on your preclear.

Now this is more or less an average number of standard lines that make up the composite which is referred to as homo sapiens. It's interesting and extremely interesting that none of these lines need any of the other of these lines to be a complete entity. But they are joined together. They are under compulsion and they are under duress because they have been used, they have been abused and they have been united for other purposes than those in the best interest of self determinism. Self determinism has been led however, all down the line to slightly aid, abet and help out this composite state.

This prevents it from happening. Why? You see how the entity is operating that you are auditing; you see how the machine is moving and how the entity is going through the incident, and you see that this incident is getting about a ten-point drop. He goes over certain points of it: it's a ten-point drop and it's an eight-point drop and it's a fifteen-point drop and it's a ten-point drop, and all of a sudden you're only getting a half-point drop and a half-point drop and a half-point drop. Well, he might have hit a sticker; he might have hit a holder in that entity, but the chances are he didn't.

Now riding over the top of this whole line all the way down through the universes to now evidently, is this first duo, the first double, the basic unit two. And one of these theta lines is slightly senior to the other. And that you will find, as the others peel off, is the native, controlling, natural you; and that's what you recognize as you. You say, "Who am I?" well, it is the senior of the first duo. And the conduct of the senior of the first duo is modified by the junior of those two, and is then modified by the additive lines on and on and on and on until the senior of those is quite normally asleep, gone. As far as he's concerned, he believes he's dead or he has strange ideas about himself. His ideas of awareness, he's sort of delegated everything to everything else. He's in apathy, really. Homo, homo sapiens.

So you say, "Well, let's roll through that again," and then if you keep getting your drops characteristic, you're still on that entity. But supposing you just all of a sudden just suddenly start to get a little surge up, and it sort of idles around and so forth. Well, instead of auditing the right outboard theta line, you're suddenly auditing the left side. The machine characteristic will shift very markedly. Therefore the preclear can't lie to you, and he can't sit there and audit something else. And very often any preclear has an entity sufficiently neurotic to start lying to the auditor. He'll say, "Oh, yes, I'm running it. Yeah ha. Yeah, I'm going right through it. I'm just doing a fine job of it. Yes, yes. Mm-hm. Mm-hm." What he's actually doing is scanning out yesterday. He will lie there on the couch and scan out yesterday, and he'll scan out something else. And what he's doing is just - one of his theta lines is just holding you off and the other one is running through inconsequentials. And you can just spend hours and hours and hours doing this.

The activities in which people engage are quite normally carried through lower levels of the theta line. And people quite commonly run on their right sides, or their left sides which, by the way, is the next factor I would like to tell you about.

The next thing it does for you, it tells you: "What kind of an incident am I auditing?" If you are auditing a facsimile, You're getting smooth sweeps, react on the meter smooth sweeps - back and forth, up and down. Drifts down, coasts, goes back again. That's a facsimile, that is a memory you are auditing; you're auditing the thought, emotion, and effort out of a memory.

These theta lines have anatomical positions in the body. You can easily discover these. You'll know where they are, what they do, what they try to control. It is very interesting that they are not necessary, any of these added lines, to the control of the body. The central senior soul, the central senior theta line is itself completely capable of doing the entire job. And the person could only be considered, could be considered a clear only if he were monitored and governed solely from this unity of one. And your second one might still remain, but it would be a junior position.

If you're auditing a between-lives incident - and that's very important to audit - this machine hunts. It comes down ten points and goes flick-flick-flick-flick-flick - the needle does-and then goes up maybe three points, flick-flick-flick, and then down five, flickflick-flick-flick, and then way up, flick-flick-flick-flick, down, flick-flick-flick-flick. Hunt. Hunt. And if it's doing it on a small level of let us say about five points on this scale or a small arc on the scale, that hunt-hunt-hunt is doing it on a wider scale and is still hunting ferociously, it's a between-lives of an earlier period. And if it"s swinging about fifteen of these points of arc and clicking at the end, and going over and click over and click, and click-click in the middle and then click, and then it's click again, you're auditing before universe.

Now here you have then, here you have unnecessary additives all the way down the line. And these, these additives however, have taken over anatomical positions. Precise you might say, a geographic position in the human body. There's one on the right side, there's one on the left side, of the central soul. There's one behind the central soul and there's one in the solar plexus area, and then the next two are outboard of the first two I've mentioned, so that you have the two outboard souls. Then the next one is the stomach soul with the two side inboard souls. So your right side would have two souls, your left side has two souls. And then you have the central soul forward and the central soul back. And in addition to all these there is the theta body of the genetic line which is evidently resident somewhere in the middle of the body.

So you can tell immediately what he's in and you can also tell what part of his body is in it, because you ask him, "Is this your right side? Is this your all-the-way-out right side? Is that what's running?" And the machine is absolutely still. No, it isn't.

Now the theta body of the genetic line could of course swell up and take entire command of the body, and so could any other theta line we have. Any one of them could take over almost or complete control of the body, or can take over a sectional control of the body. A little bit of it or a lot of it. Any one of them has this potentiality. And what are we looking at now? We're looking at theta bodies in their essence. A theta body then, is nothing more and nothing less than the personality that you talk to every day, and it has no difference whatsoever between itself in an aberrated state and a human being at any given moment, because at any given moment a human being is actually running on one theta body. Of course that one theta body can be modified by having to look through another theta body in order to express itself, and there's complications of this character. But I want to drive this home very thoroughly, is there's nothing strange about a theta body. You walk with them, you talk with them, you are them. And the reason I'm calling them theta bodies is to give you a very good differentiation, because a human being, homo sapiens, as he exists today in a normal state, is a composite of these bodies. But he is manifesting usually, only one of these personalities.

You say, "All right, which side is this? Is this the center that's doing this?"

Now, homo sapiens is in the very interesting state of having the upper two centers, if seen or heard at all, in a sort of a background awareness state that only, about the only way they would ever come through to you, if they got very interested they'd give you flash answers.

Machine drops. "Yeah. All right, it's the center. Well, let's shift over to the right side and audit the rest of that engram out." And immediate your machine starts acting again.

Now here then you have other modifications and you have these others, one by one down the line at one time or another, have been almost in entire control of the body, and the bulk of them but not the first two, are psychotic. The bulk of the theta bodies which are different than those first two, are in this society, mad as hatters. You ask them to come up to present time and you get snapped at and snarled at. Any one of them forms the foundation of what we called earlier in Dianetics, demon circuitry.

This is in the interests of cleaning up a case sometime between now and judgment Day. You understand that many entities will get the sudden idea that they are about to be handed their discharge papers and cut loose and sent hither to and forevermore. And they will suddenly start saying, "Hmm! Let's see, this is Dianetics, huh? Tsk! Well, let's see. Now, this guy is pretty easy to fool." And so they start to work on you.

The demon circuitry sets as individual and obsessions in the theta body, and these theta bodies being low toned and in a somewhat hypnotic and neurotic, at least, state, will copy and mimic other human beings which they observe or feel in their environment. And they will hold these imitations and they will hold on to the aberrations which they observe and they are very confused, normally. They're extremely confused. They do not know there are any other theta bodies present, and they are just as willing to hurt a body as to help it. A peson's right hand is always cutting him. Well, it's either the inboard right hand soul or the outboard right hand soul is sort of cross about the whole thing, and you as the auditor start to address this soul, and you get the most interesting responses.

That's a fact. And by the way, that may be the history of a great number of preclears who have an awful lot of auditing and who don't seem to get well. You've got an entity in there that says, "No! No! No! No!" And the rest of the preclear is saying, "Oh, yes. Yes, sure, sure. Mm-hm."

What is this soul's regard toward this body? Very often you'll get something very foggy, "What body?" Sometimes you'll get, "Well I got to kill him," and so on. But here you're getting a response different than the early responses on circuitry. Now you know, in the old days I tried to keep people from examining this. I might as well confess now, the demon circuits themselves could be cleared by picking up incidents. But the theta bodies themselves were very, very tricky to handle and one had to find out several things about them. And one of the things one had to find out about them is, are they all following the same rule of order? Do they all respond to the same mechanics or are there such things as demons, idle spirits, devils, any one of these things, or are they just psychotics? Or what? And it turns out after a great deal of research that they're just normal or neurotic or psychotic and so on, in their effects on a preclear.

But this entity is saying, "No, no, no, no, no. Hm-mm! Not on a bet!" And so every time the preclear starts into something, the entity will knock him to sleep, and you get what is known as a very phony boil-off; the entity just puts him to sleep, that's all. It objects and it hits the sleep centers, and out he goes - swish.

The anatomy then of a composite theta body which is you, is traceable back down this minimum, minimum as far as I've been able to determine, and though my figures are, the number of cases is not as large as I would like to have it, it's seven. The minimum is seven. Why do I say minimum? It's because every one of those joiners has put into every one of these theta bodies, the compulsion to pick up more theta bodies. And it does so automatically, does so just automatically, so that somebody comes along and he commits an overt act. He kills, he kills our old friend Bill or something of the sort, and then he says, "Gee this is uuh, too bad I killed Bill." He's got Bill. He's got the composite Bill. He's got all of Bill.

Well, this machine will detect it, and this will tell you why a preclear is balking. You can go over a preclear anatomically, thetawise, and you can say, "Now, are any of your theta lines blocking auditing?" And the machine doesn't say anything. It just sits there quietly and doesn't do anything at all; it just wobbles a little bit.

And it actually can get down to a point where the composite you, fortunately very lightly so, can actually be influenced by thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of theta lines which you've picked up, but which aren't your theta lines. You're just sort of holding them trapped. And they've tried to go back, and go where they're supposed to go between lives and they try to do this and they try to do that. Maybe they're so groggy they don't know enough to do this, and so on. You take somebody who is really sick and you run out an overt act, if he'll get a grief charge on it or if you reduce this overt act, you have probably also jettisoned a captured theta body, just like that.

And you say, "All right, is your right-all-the-way-out right side doing it? Mm-hm?"

Now it's wonderful what the aberrations are on this theta line, the aberration of a theta body. It is fabulous because it is very standard. There are very few of them and they are best described by reading the bottom of the chart of attitudes plus two, plus two columns. And that one column would be freedom at the top and restraint at the bottom, and win at the top and lose at the bottom. That would be fourteen buttons on the chart of attitudes and the bottom line would describe pretty well the complete aberration or the completely aberrated theta body. For instance, "I know not, I am not, I am nothing but effect," and so on.

No. No action.

Freedom/restraint column comes in interestingly because need or desire for or compulsion to have a body is on that column, and that is just an aberration. So as you take a person up that column on need of and care of the body, it forms one of the most powerful processes there is. Very interesting process. And the other column of course, is lose. They are trying to lose because it's the only way they can get free. But what does lose mean? Lose would also mean just jettisoning this body, so it would align with a cross on those two columns. The only way it could get out of this universe is to fail enough to lose, and people try that.

"Is it the inboard right side?" No action.

TBD magnet Now what happens to these theta lines? What happens to them when they become psychotic or neurotic or normal, what happens to them? They simply run down the line with less and less sense, with less and less power, with less and less direction. And so arrive at what the mystic normally referred to, or the spiritualist, correcting myself, referred to as the idle spirit. The psychotic theta body is what we call demons and they're very magnet as genies and so forth. If you want to know then what an aberrated theta body looks like, just look at an aberrated human being, that's all. Just look at an aberrated human being and you're looking at an approximation of this.

"Is it the center?" No action.

TBD terminals or channels? Now it has some specific obsessions with which you should be very well familiar. And these obsessions are these. One, it has to have a body. Two, it has to be, these are plants, by the way, these are planted. There are points on the track where they've agreed to this, but these are mostly implanted into the theta body to get it into order. Has to have a body. And two, it cannot perceive without looking through a body's perceptic terminals.

"Is it the inboard left side? There." Zing!

Now get that as important because it's a blinder. It has to stand behind a pair of optic nerves before it can get a facsimile of this MEST universe, it thinks. It has to stand behind ears before it can hear. It has to stand back of a whole battery of nerve channels in order to feel. And this should explain to you immediately why it is so easy to shut off - recall perceptions, are very easily shut off, simply because they lie squarely on top of the theta line obsessions that won't see, feel or hear or anything.

"Is the inboard left side stuck in an incident?" Zing!

[Gap in original recording]

'What is the date of this incident?"

It's quite interesting material to find out that you can get complications in a case to the degree that you can get, because of these variables.

Oh, and the fellow says, "Oh, it says - it says 1670." No reaction on the needle. You say, "Is it some other date?" Ask that portion - that entity - "Is it some other date?"

When you have seven preclears on a couch and any one of those seven may have a half a dozen more, things can get quite complicated.

All of a sudden he says, "Well, it's ... I get about a thousand." The machine just quivers a little bit.

The only way I've been able to thread through this with great accuracy, has been with an E-meter because they'll generally answer up if put to the question in this fashion. Now most of your preclears have an enormous number of potential chronic somatics.

You say, "A thousand B.C.?" Just quivers a little bit.

[Gap in original recording]

"A thousand A.D.?" Zing! You've got the thing spotted. Now you know what you're auditing, very rapidly. There's a theta line which is stuck on the track, and it's going to be stuck on the track and it's going to keep every other theta line there from operating until it's released and brought up into present time. And so you just take the blocks off the case, one right after the other, until you've got all the case up in present time.

..chronic somatic and then get rid of another chronic somatic. And each one unless you've kept on with your processing, would continue to be chronic from the moment you stop the processing. You see how that would be? Some of you have had that happen to preclears.

And by the way, a lot of these, when they get up to present time, say, "What the devil am I doing here?" and leave - just like that. "Well, I've gotten out of that one."

You get them all over a psychosomatic nose condition and after that they have psychosomatic toenail condition. Now your experience in this line however, has not been anywhere near as bad as old time psychotherapy. This was nightmare alley because as soon as you persuaded somebody, and argued somebody in him, which they weren't trying to do, argued somebody into not doing that anymore, something else came in and said, "Well we'll do this now." A psychotherapist then assumed as a rule of the road that any time you got rid of a psychosomatic illness in a preclear, you would then find another psychosomatic illness substituting for it in the preclear. This was a rule of the road. They just got to a point finally, where they would diagnose all psychosomatic illnesses as substitutions for something else. Well that's quite interesting. A substitution was a substitution, was a sublimation, was a substitution. How else could you look at it with this may variables and with no means actually, to eradicate that particular psychosomatic illness so it wouldn't kick back? This was a very difficult problem.

So, you can keep check on the thing. Well, we've never had any way to keep check on - and as a matter of fact, our auditing techniques were being addressed on the theory of whole beingness.

Now any one of the entities with which you are dealing, any one of the theta bodies with which you are dealing in a preclear, is capable of producing an almost unlimited number of psychosomatic illnesses. You could get something like this. Supposing your preclear was just one theta body, so on. You're familiar with this condition. You audit him for a while and you get him up to a position where he's no longer stuck in that engram. No longer in that incident, and now he's in another incident. Now you'd audit that incident long enough so that he was no longer stuck in that incident or it didn't influence him, he'd be in another one. Meantime sort of coming on up the track, a little bit later and later incidents, or maybe sometimes flicking back and going into earlier incidents. There's a finite end to such a thing.

The people that you cleared up were cleared up in two ways: One, you were auditing the central, and somehow or other got it on by getting back early in a person's life, a childhood. That's why childhood is important, is because it will flick on the center sometimes. If you can get the childhood bank you've got the center on, because it's holding the childhood bank. So that's this address: it isn't childhood memories; it's what time of life was the center in evidence. So you get the center on and the person right away brightens up. Very simple.

So long as you as an auditor do not become tired, you can actually, tired or low in tone or discouraged or something of the sort, you can actually exert enough influence on this preclear to hold him in one theta body. That's a trick which is observable. You've seen some preclear change auditors and right away the second auditor gets an entirely different case. And he comes around and he says, "Well you know that case, and you were trying to run out all those prenatals and those locks on the mother and so forth. Actually it was the father. Father was the whole solution of the case," and drop a curve on you. And they were auditing another theta body.

Now, the other thing we were doing was somehow or other exorcising. We were! High in tone, your auditor would simply scare some of these theta lines either into apathy or out.

Now if you change from a man to a woman auditor, the man will find himself auditing one theta body, and the woman auditor will find herself auditing quite another theta body automatically, because men and women are responded to in a preclear by different theta bodies.

Now, you take a theta line which is holding a case of arthritis in very solid arthritis. This theta line has the right side beautifully paralyzed as far as holding is concerned, and the calcium deposits are gathering apace. And you, as an auditor, drive the right side down in tone and bring the central preclear up in tone to a point where you've unbalanced it and the right side goes into apathy. The second it goes into apathy, of course, it releases and you get a disappearance of arthritis. All you've done - that is a mild exorcism; that's just nullification exorcism. And some of you have merely looked a demon in the eye and said "Phew! and he's gone. And you audited the fellow only a half an hour and all of a sudden he was well. Wasn't that interesting? There he is; he's well.

TBD grow Now these variables need not be perplexing and are actually only perplexing if they aren't understood. If you realize suddenly that you're playing an organ with twelve stops, you can reach in and pull the stops in and out. That's very simple, and you can play Home Sweet Home twelve times. Fortunately for you, all these beings don't receive the same engram at the same moment. Now you've seen this trick of valence manifestation. You take the preclear back on the track and he's way out of valence, and you work and work and work to get him in valence. Well there's a good reason why you're working to get him in valence. What you're doing when he's out of valence, you'd be trying to audit an observer. Well now, it so happened that this observing theta body would actually have some charge on the incident. This observing theta body which is the preclear too, would be watching this incident happen and he doesn't like it just as an observer, just as any other observer in the room wouldn't like it. So you can audit out. But for heaven's sakes, audit it out as an observer. Don't just harass the preclear to get him into valence, just audit him out as an observer. Alright, so you watch this. OK, grow it.

The cases which we've had trouble with are the cases that are playing a game with us. Poor case doesn't know it's playing a game with us.

You will find as you run the case, that gradually you can bring such an incident, and this is the manifestation of running through an incident several times and then suddenly finding the person in valence. What you do is audit out this observer, this observer, and then audit out one observer over here and then audit out one observer over here. And then all of a sudden this central case here, you come onto that and it alerts because why? Because it's getting the incident restimulated. The theta being is getting the incident restimulated over and over by these observers. They go through the incident, observers go through the incident and that restimulates your center one, so all of a sudden he's on to the incident. And he's awake in it.

But there are two or three entities present and they'll cross over, and you 'II start to audit one and you'll find yourself auditing another one, and then you'll be auditing another one. And about the time that you're really getting in there someplace, all of a sudden you're auditing another one. And the result is that some of these have the "I can't know, I won't know" and "I won't tell" - some of these entities have these in such strong restimulation that a person has this strange idea that he could tell if he could tell, but he can't tell, because every time he starts to tell he sort of forgets. Or every time he starts to come up with any part of an incident, it all of a sudden blanks out on him. Or he tries to get the perceptic that matches the incident, and somehow or other something just moves in across it. Well, this is just entanglements of these theta lines. They're just cagey.

Generally when you see this manifestation, the person the preclear was, the being the preclear was at the time, is getting so much charge during the incident that quite often if it's a severe incident that entity stops there and sort of passes out, goes to sleep, considers it's dead, considers it's finished, that it is no more, there's no use to carry on, it stops right there on the track. But with this other stuff going on around it, all of a sudden it will shake loose enough on the track so that you can audit it, wakes up to that degree.

Now, an unknown datum can produce too much randomity - too, too much - and that is the case here. Not one of these theta lines was actively aware that a personality existed except itself. They were not aware, one theta line to the next, that there were other personalities or theta lines present. And you simply start identifying them, one after the other to each other, and they come way up in tone, one after the other, because they know what's going on. They know that somebody else was there, and somebody else and somebody else and somebody else. And the prectear gets much cleverer.

Now let us clarify terminology here, then. We wanted to really be precise in any communication, we say exactly what we mean and therefore we have to have some words that say exactly what they mean. So for no other reason than that we can find it handy in communication, let us classify these bodies, these theta bodies, in this wise. Let's call the theta being, let's say theta being would be the central senior person, the one that the person would be, your preclear would be if he were entirely cleared up on his way to a theta clear. And this would be the last entity you would be addressing. That's the top, senior entity and the one which will preserve as the preclear. Let's call that a theta being, or his theta being. Now let's call the remaining theta bodies, let's call these remaining theta bodies souls; and not call this... You don't like that word. Alright, what do you want for words? Let's call them then, entities. Let's call them entities. Hm?

Well, you might leave a couple of them that were the bad psychos in him - you might leave these way stuck on the track, and therefore he has somatics and so forth. But the usual thing is that he just becomes a lot more cheerful. This point alone, in other words, produces a marked advance in the case: the identification of the theta lines, one to the other.

TBD Male Voice: Possession Entities

The best way to identify them, of course, is show them to him. And he'll start thinking about the thing and so on, and he'll all of sudden recognize this and that.

Alright. You've got a whole series of these now, 'cause these by the way, have not walked in. These have not walked in unbidden. They are actually have been gathered up in groups. Some of them are there under compulsion from elsewhere.

These theta lines can be neurotic enough to hold on a somatic and to throw the somatic on violently every time the preclear starts to get rid of an incident. He starts to get rid of an incident; this line says, "He's starting to get rid of his 'soul' and that's me. We will show him - crunch!" and picks up pain out of its own memory bank and turns it on. Just like you might spank a small child that was causing you trouble. You want to administer pain. So this theta line will think, "Pain, pain," and turn on a somatic. And here you get a chronic somatic that just rides there and rides there. And you run this on the case and you run that on the case, and you run something else on the case, and somehow or another this chronic somatic just won't go away. Well, that's because every time you start to get in close to this theta line it gets very cagey and turns on this somatic. But it's not going to be located.

Now let's call the third order; these are the ones that are supposed to be there; this would include the theta being and then six entities and then the remaining ones, let's call these things idle entities, or some such word. These idle ones then, are very idle. They are actually theta beings which have run downhill to the point where they're practically out the bottom. They couldn't have a body if, it's just, that's where your; by the way, that's where all these beings go eventually. They just peel off downhill they're longer capable of having bodies, they're so thoroughly stuck on the track. Well, there's these idle beings.

Now, it's your job on a chronic somatic to locate what being it is that's turning it on - what theta line it is that's turning it on, which is to say - and getting that thing unstuck out of the incident so it's rational enough to find out whether or not somebody else is present and find out what it's doing. And you will find out in each case that it is stuck somewhere on the track in something very violent. And it's rather easy to audit out and at that time the chronic somatic will cease.

Male voice: You call those vampires?

Now, this is really pinpointing your case. Here somebody comes in to you and they have a chronic somatic. Well, you have three choices. You throw the entity that is giving this person this pain or illness into apathy; that's the worst choice. The optimum choice is to be so clear yourself that you just simply move through and in this entity and it goes phew! and it's gone. You say, "Well, all right, that's twenty-five dollars, please," and the preclear walks out the door.

Well they'd be vampires, alright. OK.

And the technique which is available to you and most useful to you now, is simply identify the thing - preferably on an electropsychometer - identify which entity it is and what it's stuck in and then just audit it through what it's stuck in, regardless of how silly or how strange it seems. Whatever the incident is - audit it through, audit it through, and get this entity at least out of that somatic, if not into present time. And your chronic somatic will go away.

Now those come in on the individual. They come in on the individual, but not unbidden. He asked for them. Or one of his, one of his entities asked for them authorizedly or unauthorizedly, out of a compulsion to join up. Therefore you have this, this stack that looks like this. First there's the theta being. Now it has co-mingled in company, but hasn't co-mingled in identity, with a second, with a second being. Now this other being's pretty senior and probably won't leave. These two then have added to them, these entities, one after the other. And these entities in turn have enough compulsion on them to add in even more beings, so that you eventually wind up with a very large number.

That means that a psychosomatic illness can be treated selectively by an auditor - very selectively.

Now an entity then, is classifiable to the degree that any entity may have an elsewhere body, for homo sapiens at the present time, any entity may have an elsewhere body. These idle ones generally don't. The theta being may himself have an entity - a - another body. May have. There's no reason to be very complex about this. We could each, actually go through and number them on their positions and you'd know exactly where they are.

You take glasses. Now, there's the facsimile field of auditing. Memories have pain in them; you audit out the facsimiles which have the pain, and the pain or disability goes away. That's techniques as we have known them; you see, you have to know the same techniques in order to work one of these entities.

The theta being normally faces forward and is in the head and can emanate there into the whole body and can be the whole body. And when your preclear is well, when he is well disposed, when he is in good condition and so on, it will be this being that he is. The second one has different goals but is sort of a partner to the first one. And it normally considers itself to be facing back in the head, because where it's most easily reached. And it too could pervade the whole body without any very bad consequences, although the goals of this being, this entity, are not as high or as good as the theta being's goals. Alright.

All right, let's take glasses. In the facsimile level, glasses mean that one of these entities, at least, is over into a monitor valence of some sort or another, probably in Facsimile One. You will find some part of this preclear is in Facsimile One, and it's being a monitor valence and the glasses are what the monitors wear in Facsimile One. And a person is safe as long as he wears glasses, and if he takes his glasses off he's not safe anymore.

Your next being would be the right inside, and the next being the left inside; these are entities, now; right inside, left inside and stomach. And now you have two more entities added. Now I don't know whether this happened in every case, but these last entities seem to have been added after Earth. They were added here on Earth somehow or other. I haven't that story very clear yet. And there is another entity which is the somatic entity, which is continued all the way along the track as the body. And it's actually responsible for having developed the body and has on its file all of the genetic line data, like the Boohoo, the Helper, and so forth. That's its data bank.

But what about this? We've known for a long time that if you could get a person's tone up, the somatics dropped out. There's billions and billions and trillions and quadrillions of facsimiles - painful ones, severely painful ones. Well, you can't audit all of these. Well, how do you get a preclear's tone up? Well, auditing a theta line or auditing a theta incident advances tone very rapidly and tends to stabilize it - until you go to the next entity, and then you'll find the tone will drop a little bit, but not as far as it was before. And then you audit that tone up and you'll find out he comes up. It is nothing, in two hours to four hours, and certainly in ten hours, to take people off the top of this machine by auditing theta-line incidents. You can't do that by auditing facsimiles; you've got to audit an awful lot of facsimiles before you get tone up to that degree.

Now each one of these, at one time or another in a preclear's many existences, has been in charge. Not for any other reason than that the theta being has gone to sleep or has failed or has been pushed out of a position of command. And so most people have one or another of these beings taking over this way and that. Very interesting. Some of these entities are or have been theta beings, and as such are accompanied by their own sub-order. But you find them all in the same location, all in the same location, so don't be surprised. This is why I say it takes an E-meter to keep track of all these, because any one of them, and this is a rule of the road on this, any one of these can take over and invest the entire body, can operate solely with its own data bank and can create a somatic anywhere in the body. The geographical locale is only where you will find them more or less native. But they can actually take that area and extend from that area and become the whole being or extend from that area and suddenly control a part of the body which is quite distant from their seat of command.

So what happens? Let's take Facsimile One now. It's important to know that Facsimile One is there, because so many people are stuck in it; so many people go over into the monitor valence of it; so many people are in the victim valence of it and holding forth regardless. Do you have to audit this thing? Not if you find out which entity is holding on to it. And then not if you find a theta incident -that is to say, some incident a little bit earlier, like a joiner, that makes this entity hold on to incidents and facsimiles. There's just this one entity now, you're asking, "Why do you hold on to facsimiles?" And all of a sudden you find that there is a reason and you audit the line through that reason and blow Facsimile One. Cute - very tricky.

Now let no one be confused about the theory of epicenters. The theory of epicenters is quite valid. It is a trace, a tracking of how the body evolved. And all of these epicenters have data banks but they are all under the command of the somatic entity. And the somatic entity has, as it comes along, been formed and added to structurally. So the control centers or the epicenters of a body are merely the points of the body from which the mechanisms and limbs of the body are handled. And they came into existence very smoothly by counter-efforts being applied to that point. That's structure, that's physical structure.

Now, you can audit Facsimile One out from beginning to end over and over again, and you can make sure that you audit it out of any being that had it in its bank.

Now get this picture. Here is a big control panel. Every button on this big control panel could be called an epicenter; might say an embryonic brain or a nerve center, a command post or something; and here are all these buttons. And you push one of these buttons and certain lights go on and certain motions take place. A doctor takes his hammer, his little rubber hammer, and taps somebody on the knee cap and the, and the leg flies out. And he says, "Well your central nervous system's in good condition." In other words he's saying that epicenter's connected, because he can come along and by the application of mechanical motion, create a structural response. Now that's what an epicenter is, it's just a push button. It's built in structure and it has neurons, synapses and so on. It's just the mechanics of a body.

There's at least seven banks you will find Facsimile One in - that's why it's so deadly. I amend that. There are at least five banks or four banks; there are a couple of additives afterwards. Facsimile One took place about a million to a million two hundred and fifty thousand years ago.

Now here's this big switchboard. Who's running it? The theta being is the person who's supposed to be running it, amongst other things. He can do lots of things besides run this switchboard. As long as you are the theta being, then anybody could theoretically come along and run this switchboard, particularly a theta being. The somatic entity actually is very, very low in command power, compared to the theta being. But before, before this Earth body was joined up by a theta being or any entities, it was running along just fine. It was thinking, it was operating, it was acting, it was not too intelligent, it was not too fast. You get a preclear sometime back to a time when you have him with a theta body and he's in the, in a sloth, and he is thinking. I had that experience one time. I think I blew a line charge for a long while. "Now I am going to think." Signal for action.

So, we have much more recent material that has been poured in, and much more recent matters of interest to us.

Now heretofore, before this theta being and the entities joined this body, the somatic entity then was in complete charge of this switchboard button control. And it could walk up to this button control you might say, and say, "Well we lift this arm, we lift this leg, and we lift this arm, we lift this leg," bump bump bump bump, push push, operating on epicenters to do this sort of thing. Your switchboard system is tapped and that hits the other control centers and these things operate, muscles flex and blood runs and all sorts of interesting things happen in this carbon/oxygen engine. So along comes the theta being. A child has a rather hard time of it, has to learn how to handle a switchboard. The child is quite intelligent. The theta being of the child is usually on the beginning of a cycle, very alert.

When it comes to auditing a theta line, you are playing tag with a will-o'-the-wisp, because one of these - if you can't see them yet, one of these theta lines can be very, very cagey, and they can cross over and cross you up and so on. Most rapid job you can do there, therefore, is a machine job, and you just start hitting them one after the other until you have all of these entities up in present time and particularly until you have the center one up in present time. And this is the one you take in preference to any other.

And so what do we get? We get a pilot, an untrained individual rather, shoved into suddenly, the cockpit of a B-47. There he sits with controls, controls, controls, controls. How does he hook up to the controls? How does he operate this mechanism? The body, the theta, the body is joined by the theta being and the other entities just before birth. And these beings have the strange obsession that they have to join the body by an entrance through the mouth. Odd, this is an old, old, old superstition and it's evidently true. But it's just a compulsion. They don't have to do that at all. And it's just before birth ordinarily, when this happens. The somatic being, entity is running the body up to that point. Alright, the theta being joins in. The next thing you know it starts to say, "How do we move an arm here? Which button?"

Now, therefore auditing procedure as I would recommend it at this time - which is subject to change - auditing procedure would be simply this: You clean up theta lines only to the point where you can handily and easily reach the center. And then you clean up its line as far back as is necessary to keep it from holding on to other entities. And then you'll find your preclear is in much better state; therefore you should just go back and clean up then, this central being up to a point where he's a Theta Clear. And that would be a procedure. There may be a faster way of blowing a theta line; that's why I say it's subject to change because there may be this faster way of blowing a theta line. I don't know of one at this time beyond complete rehabilitation of the center. And sometimes you can't just say to the center "All right-be," 100 percent .. Sometimes, by the way, you can, though. You can suddenly say - you locate the center for the fellow and you show him on the machine - "Now that's the center."

We've all had lots of periods now, many lives when these buttons so, but there's a button around here someplace. And it also has to sort of train this body into it's responses. And so between the two you get a year or two before the baby is able to care for its whole body and operate. Now it gets along for quite a while. Children are quite responsive. They get, they're very good. And along about six, seven, eight, nine, a child is very accurate, his reaction time is very good. And then of course somebody comes along and punishes him or sends him to school or tortures him or grinds him up for hamburger, does something to him. And at that moment, the theta being fails. Well one of the things that it fails on school by the way, is it knows it. It knows all this. And then somebody comes along and says, "Now you have to learn this and we're going to punish you unless you learn it," and resultant confusion. "Why do I have to learn what I know?" And you get an awful confusion at that point and that starts to send the theta being down in tone.

"Oh, is that me? Oh, is that how I feel? Oh, gee! Yeah."

Well from there on out, it takes maybe just one operation, one accident, the theta being goes back of the switchboard and one by one these other entities will take over that switchboard. And the theta being is trying to operate through these other entities. Delegation of authority. He says, "I can no longer trust myself. Maybe Pete can do it. Maybe Bill can do it. Maybe Sue can do it." But what is this now? You're getting, you're getting one being going out and others, and other entities cutting in. But you're still getting the theta being operating on a level of awareness which is very, very, very low, but sometimes being quite intelligent if it's not taking any of the responsibility, and so it pushes solutions through.

"Well now, just get that in communication with every part of your body. Now, get it in communication with all of the MEST universe." Boom! Terrific change takes place. But unfortunately this can't be done all the time, so the other procedure is to clean up the lines which are keeping it from happening, and then just to the point where you can clean it up, and so you get the person up the line on that.

Although the body is very definitely in the hands of some entity, the theta being pushes the solutions through of a problem here or a problem there. And sometimes it comes through quickly and sometimes it comes through very slowly. And you can actually snap the theta being into giving you responses, simply by asking for flash answers. This is your manifestation. He's not really just a file clerk. He's not a file clerk at all, actually. You're trying to reach the beingness of a person in this way.

Now, theoretically all the other beings ought to blow immediately that this thing decides - this center being, you, which is really you, by the way - will decide.

Now when you start to audit this person the first thing that you ought to know is how many psychos do you have on your hands? That's the first thing you want to know. Who's stuck on the track? What is psychosis? You can reduce psychosis to this definition. Psychosis is the condition of an entity or idle spirit you might say, moving in to control, but being stuck on the track. Now that, that's psychosis; trying to control, stuck on the track. Now you can just throw away what you know about circuits, 'cause I'll show you what circuits are in a moment. But there is your basis on psychosis and also on neurosis. There's your basis on it.

Now, your preclears can give you a bad argument every once in a while. They give you a very bad argument. They will say to you, "Well, I can't audit that, because if I audited that" - they will have the idea that "If I audited that, something horrible would happen to me." Well, you're not talking to the prectear; you're talking to the facade in front of the facade of the preclear. In other words, you're talking to a couple of theta lines deep before you're reaching the central being.

What's our goal then? If you have a psychotic entity on your hands, your problem is a very simple problem all of a sudden. You don't have to worry much about a circuit. What you have to worry about is how do we get the preclear moving on the track, because for all intents and purposes and for the moment of your auditing, that entity that you're trying to audit is, is the preclear. Now you have to audit this entity, usually through the preclear, or you can audit this entity direct. It all depends on how high you are on the tone scale.

It's an amazing thing, but I'm sure that you'd have this happen if you were working around sanitarium people or something like that, or working on - oh, some very, very, very neurotic people: you would find them a being which was not their central being but which was saying it was their central being. In other words, it'd fool you. So you'd be busily giving them over into the hands of some lesser line which was psychotic as could be, and you want to avoid that if possible. It's not terribly important, but you want to avoid it, because your central being is not going to blow out; this would just make the case a little bit longer.

Now here you have then, a simple problem of finding out where he's stuck in the track and in what kind of an incident he's stuck. First, what entity is stuck, when is he stuck, and run it out. That's you run it out with thought, emotion and effort, routine procedure. Now if you can't contact him very well, you can do such tricks as making him remember something absolutely real. Or you can ask the preclear's higher levels to simply move in over this entity, possess the entity and boom him through the incident. Entity doesn't like that, but you can actually move in over the top of one of these entities and just grind him through the incident. He can't do anything about it, he won't even protest. But when they're very soundly out of communication and quite asleep, quite unconscious and so on, you quite often have to do this because they think this is happening just now. There's the big mistake they make in time. It seems to them that this place they're stuck and the incident which they're running is now. That is the manifestation of psychosis, the timelessness of an incident and the conviction that the incident is happening now.

Now, you actually could become, theoretically, this expert, that when you find a body has suddenly been vacated - the fellow says, "Well, goodbye. Phewww!" - you look at this body lying there and you say, "Is anybody else here?" You don't get any response on the machine, starts turning kind of blue, you listen to the heartbeat and it's slowing way down, and what happened was even the genetic-line body's soul blew, and - well, shoot them with some adrenalin or something like that and pick up an idle spirit (there'll be a lot of those around) and shove them into the body real quick and say, "Hey, here's a body. Quick, rumpf! and stuff them in right quick and get the person animated again.

Alright, with thought, emotion and effort then; either by making the preclear move over the top of the entity and push it on through, or directly to the entity making it go on through, or if you're high enough on the level, just moving in and going on through it yourself; you then bring this entity out of its era and you bring it into present time, in other words. And one after another you spot and straighten up these entities. Now you're going to find out, because of this little trick which I say might possibly be going on at this time on another planet, you may find out that you pick up each one of these sub-entities and you'll have to kick them over and run out a death on a simultaneous time track.

I just give you that. Don't delay too long on it, because in hot weather you know how it is. (audience laughter) Of course, there are many people here, as I say those words, that think I'm serious. Well, I am. (audience laughter)

You run out this death on them if there's, if it's there, because they're very ordinarily stuck in it if it's in restimulation at all. But if it's not, don't bother with it, just make sure they're in present time. And get the theta being of the individual alive, awake and alert as soon as possible. Get that being audited then, because that's what you're trying to address your auditing to. And the only reason you're trying to take these entities and other things present out of the way, is that you just want them out of the way so that you can audit this theta being. That is what you are doing. That's a very simple job. It becomes much simpler, much, much simpler as a concept, than any we have had before.

Let's take another very, very short break and let me give you the rest of this - if you want me to.

Now get this about circuits. A circuit is quite real, but a circuit happens to be a being, an entity or an idle one, mimicking. And you know, a preclear goes low enough on the tone scale will get into a physiological rapport or a mental rapport with somebody and will mimic, mimic, mimic. That's hypnotism. And these, these entities will actually copy other people. They'll copy other people so thoroughly that they'll get their identity confused with those people. Thoroughly confused with them so that you get this kind of a manifestation. You start running this entity back and you find this entity is somebody that the person knew one time or another, and it isn't at all.

[tape continues]

What do you want to put? Because you as an auditor actually can assist them to establish this thing. An E-meter will prevent you from making this mistake, but you should be able to prevent yourself from making this mistake anyway. Because an entity that will hurt a preclear or harm him is pretty bad. The theta being of an entity is usually very well intentioned toward him. Very well intentioned and would not hurt him, would not hold a somatic, would not hold an aberration up. All a theta being will do is more or less doze off and go to sleep.

HOW TO AUDIT A THETA LINE, PART II

[This final section of HCL 21 "ANATOMY OF THE THETA BODY" is not on the old reel but is included in R&D volume 10. It continues on directly from the preceeding paragraph.]

A lecture given on 16 April 1952

Now, that's fortunate for us.

[tape continues]

That's not true of the entities. They don't just doze off and go to sleep. If you wake them up suddenly, they hardly knew where they were or why they were there or anything else - all of a sudden they say, "Ah! Somebody to control. Flesh!" And zing! they go right into standard operation. You've seen human beings do this. A 1.5 comes along, walks into a classroom of little kids and so forth and says, "Which one can I control first?" just that. Little Johnny over there happens to be sucking his thumb or something of the sort and they - whap! whap! It's nothing to them that johnny's sucking his thumb; it's not going to hurt them any. But it's just that they got to control; they got to control.

[At tiis point there is a gap in the original recording.]

& [There is an unitelligible sentence here on the tape which does not appear in the R&D transcript]

.. entities have been so hammered and pounded and driven by the compulsive attitude of people who have tried to control us back through history, that - what's their first shift? Each one can do valence shifts, by the way; they can be this or be that. They're very good mimics. And so they become people who have tried to control us and their only method of operation that they know or can follow, unless they're brought up to a point where they'll think again, is to force with pain, to force with threat, to force with aberration, a MEST-force operation on the preclear. So when a preclear has a chronic somatic, you know immediately that he has an entity that is trying to force something on to him and that this entity is not the theta being. It tells you that immediately.

Well, now I'm going to tell you something about what can be done with a theta line. You understand I'm only talking about what can be done with a theta line.

This preclear is auditing himself continually, continually, continually, continually without any slightest gain. What's happening? One of his entities has decided this is a wonderful way to torture him. Of course, it's perfectly true that you could clear up one of these entities or clear up the theta being and say, "Okay, audit the rest of them." And he would! And do a good job of it. But the accident would be where one of the entities just learns how to audit. There we go. And they'll very carefully run the incident half out and leave it. They'll very carefully jam every theta being present somewhere on the track. And they'll work at it and work at it and work at it and work at it. It gets pretty grim after a while.

What can be done with a theta body? The first answer to this is "What can be done with a human being?" Anything that can be done mechanically with a human mind can be done to the theta mind - to a theta being - except these strange complexities of cross theta lines. That is to say, one theta line being cleared and another theta line coming across and stopping it from being cleared. All right.

Now our task then is, as ever, a task of differentiation: learning to differentiate. Differentiate amongst the beingnesses of a person in an effort to recover into the power of the theta being the entire control of the individuality, and all the individuality there is in that theta being. To do this is not now very difficult. Imagine how it would be to run a preclear who didn't have any circuits. You just said to him, "Now where are you on the time track?"

Let me tell you some of the things that can be done to a human being, and understand that I'm still talking about theta bodies because there's not any difference except a human being and his mind as he exists today - Homo sapiens - it's just more of them.

And he says, "1861."

YOU can hypnotize a human being or drug a human being and move him as a theta body, in all or in part, to remote distances and have him observe or act or communicate and move back to his body again. This has been - he has many descriptive phrases, such as "astral walking.", It's of no importance what you call it. The point is that you can actually hypnotize yourself, which is one theta body hypnotizing another theta body inside yourself, and send that other theta body off to some vast distance and observe something and have it come back and so on.

And you say, "All right. Go to the beginning of the incident and run it (snap) through to the end." No complications. He just goes to the beginning of the incident and with full perceptics, runs it through to the end.

This is very common. Your hypnotist knows this manifestation very well. You take somebody, hypnotize them, send them down to where somebody else is having a dinner party. And you count the people at the table and get the order of seating and what is going on and what is being eaten. And then come back and wake up and get on the telephone and tell them. It's very upsetting to them.

You say, "Go over it again. Go over it again. Over it again. Where are you now?"

You can, by hypnotizing yourself - that is the usual mechanism by which this is done - send one of you over to somebody who is sleeping and say to that somebody, "Now, you want to call me at 10:15 in the morning and say, 'I have a wonderful idea' and you will have a wonderful idea. Now be sure and tell me this." And you'll come back again, and 10:15 in the morning the person either has an impulse to call you, or they will call you, or they won't. But the oddity is that it's at 10:15 that they call and they do say to you, "I have a wonderful idea." It all depends on how good you are at astral walking, how positive are your results.

"Hmm. 1902."

Now, you can astral-walk some theta body clear across the United States or clear across the world and find out all sorts of things. And as a matter of fact, you can even dictate to it as to what it's supposed to do and get information from it while it is at this remote place. I am now talking to you about very, very elementary manifestations. These are quite well known.

"What's happening to you?"

Self-hypnosis, as I say, is one line hypnotizing another line - in you. When a person is hypnotized, what happens is the control center which is uppermost - the control being which is uppermost - is put into some sort of a sleep and another being that isn't normally available is thereby exposed to view. And that other being is almost always neurotic or psychotic or very literal. And the second being can be told things. And then the person is awakened, which is to say the theta line which was put to sleep (which is normally in control) is awakened. And sitting back of that is another theta body, see, and it says, "Now, you will do so-and-so and so-and-so, and you're not supposed to remember it," so forth.

"Oh. I just fell down a sewer pipe."

Just think of a lot of little kids playing a game and this is about the manifestation you get. You see? So that's a posthypnotic suggestion and that is also an engram in operation.

"Okay, roll it again. Go over it again.

A person is operated on. All theta bodies are asleep except one; this one observes everything there and then you run the person through the operation. What you've done is wake up six bodies if you run him through it thoroughly. See how that would work?

Where are you now?"

Now, awareness means awareness of what? What's awareness? There are a minimum of seven awarenesses. Which one of these awarenesses are you reducing when you give a person anesthetic? And how many of them are you sending away? How many of them are you holding on to?

Oh, 1938. Yeah."

Now, get valence. There are two valences. There is a command valence which shifts from one theta body to the other. It isn't the words that do it; it's the fact that a person is shifted on theta bodies because somebody told it to shift. Running back through incidents, you will find peclears out of valence. Well, that is to say, you're running a theta body which wasn't the theta body to which this happened, but the theta body which observed it happening to the other theta body. Get the idea?

"Well, roll it. Roll it through. Where are you now?"

It happened to theta body A, and as you run him through the incident, you're running theta body B through the incident, so theta body B goes through the incident. And where was it where the incident took place? Well, oddly enough, time and space have very little to do with this, and so theta body B thought nothing of standing out in the middle of the room and watching it, particularly if there was charge on it.

"Present time. Gee, I feet wonderful!"

Somebody comes along and hits the little kid in the jaw. Theta body B said, "No!" saw the blow coming and stepped out. Theta body A stood there and took it. Bow! You run the person back - they don't have any somatics, they tell you quite happily. "I don't have any somatics. No, I see myself."

Wouldn't that be nice?

You say, "Well, this is some illusion. It's-all-illusion - it's-all-delusion - and - let's-all-be-illusive-and-delusive - and-let's-grant-no-reality-to-anything - and-that's-the-way-we-all-stay-insane." Boy, that's a philosophy. (All those words that I just uttered have hyphens amongst them.)

Well, that's the kind of auditing you're doing, and as long as you remember that that's the kind of auditing you're doing, you can't get into trouble. Because if you're not doing that kind of auditing, then you've got another theta being that's doing a cross-up on you. So you just get rid of that one first.

When you run this prectear back through again, you're running the wrong theta body back through. Now, you tell the right theta body to go through the incident and you get the somatics and so forth. But this right theta body may be so frightened by this time of existence and so on, that it takes a lot of persuading.

So you see, this thing has become very simple. A lot of questions that we had in the past can go. What's a circuit? A circuit is a psychotic stuck somewhere on the track who keeps mimicking somebody, mimicking Mama or mimicking Papa or doing a mimic job and so on, but quite psychotic. They have data banks. Every one of them has data banks. What do you do about a perceptic shut-off case? Hm. Nothing easier than a perceptic shut-off case. You just find out who it happened to. If the perceptics are shut off, then you're auditing one of them that didn't have it happen to them, or auditing the one that did have it happen to him who's stuck on the track, and so he isn't perceiving. You have to get the being moving on the track, you see, before he can perceive. Well, it's relatively easy to get these beings moving on the track. Well, that's your perceptic shut-off

Now, how do you get a person to run through an incident in valence? Find the theta body that the thing happened to - the theta body in control, the theta body which has the memory bank containing the incident and all of its somatics - if you want to run the incident. Find it, run the preclear through enough data until the incident unburdens on the theta line that the incident happened to.

Now, what is an out-of-valence case? An out-of-vatence case is a person who has been one being at one time in his life, and has now shifted over and is another one - is an entity or something of the sort. And so, when you try to audit the first beingness he was, you're not auditing with its bank. You're trying to audit things that happened to it with the bank of things it didn't happen to, except as an observer. And you'll find out that maybe there's only one, or possibly two, of these entities observe what is happening to another entity or the theta being. That's very lucky; very'fortunate. Cuts down the amount of observation. The others are completely btotto on the subject. They just don't know. They didn't know what happened at that period of time.

Now, you try to run childhood out of somebody and they've shifted into five consecutive different theta bodies since - the fifth body over there didn't even know the person had ever been a child. It was just out, it had nothing to do with the childhood, it was just there, and it was going around saying, "Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm." He wasn't even aware of time passing or something of the sort. And one day have the entire load and control of the human body dumped on it; one day it suddenly found itself in control of everything.

So you get somebody and you say, "Well now, what happened when you were eighteen?"

You know, dental operation, a couple of theta bodies got something in restimulation and so got a toothache, and so the thing to do is to go down to the dentist and have the dentist - anesthesia, pry, squeeze, yank, stamp, knee in the guts, you know, with lots of words. And the theta body which is in operation up to that moment says, "This is too thick. Another life, and it's still happening! I quit." And so it does. It says, "Well, here I am asleep.' And it stays asleep.

And he says, "I don't know. I've never been able to remember that period."

Now this person teeters around after the operation and says, "Well, I feel different somehow." You try to put this person back through the operation and they're out of valence. Now, if you will notice closely, they can call themselves the dentist as they go through the operation; they can go into the dentist, and so on. This is another manifestation of which theta lines are completely capable-of stepping into other people. And they do. They just simply step into somebody else.

"All right, try hard. See if you can remember it. Now go on, try hard." You're just working an entity that doesn't have a bank on the year eighteen. So what do you do? If you really want to find out what happened to eighteen you just get him shifted around until you find the entity it did happen to, and it's in that bank. Very simple.

If a theta body, a theta line, is very mixed up and can't get control of the person in any other way, it will step into person B and activate some theta line in person B so as to do something to person A. You get that?

You must be able to differentiate amongst the entities and find out more or less when they were alive - when. If you want to do a job in just one lifetime you can produce very marked results without going earlier than this lifetime with a prectear. Why? Because you can put the theta being of the individual back into power. It doesn't take you too long. You might be able to do it in a half an hour; you might be able to do it in two hours; you might be able to do it in five or ten hours. You can do this.

Here's a theta line that's in person A, and person A is not under the control of this theta line; this theta line is quite psycho and very possessive, or something of the sort. This theta body will step around into another person and motivate them into getting angry at A. And then yap-yap-yap-yap-yap- Somebody will say, "I wonder why I am so angry at him. That was silly," but go right on saying, 'What's the idea?" and so on.

The second you get that theta being back into power, you're going to have something in excess of a MEST Clear, so long as that being doesn't suddenly kick out a lot of the data banks. A MEST Clear technically is defined as one who has on record everything there is - everything that's happened to him. Well, so he does - the theta being - have on record everything that's happened to the theta being in that body. But this doesn't mean that he's got a consecutive record of everything in school or a consecutive record of everything that happened to him in the army or something of the sort - some other entity recorded that.

And person A all of a sudden says, "Hm! Somebody is angry at me. Why are they angry at me?" And gets good and mad, and so you get a fight started. Because theta bodies are just people and they will start fights and they will argue, but sometimes they go about it circuitously. You find a mention of this in the first book, by the way.

And here you get these cases of sudden amnesia. Person is going along as one entity and studies this and studies that and so forth. And suddenly that entity kicks off over on the other track and sticks, and says, "I'm dead." Which he is, elsewhere. Hasn't any recall all of a sudden. Isn't moving on the track. And suddenly another entity takes over and I think if you examined amnesia cases you would suddenly find the preclear working on a data bank that didn't apply to this life. See how that would be.

Now, the manifestation, then, is that a theta body is not locatable in time and space except as it thinks it is. It believes it's here and therefore acts on MEST here. Or believes it's there and therefore acts on MEST there. Believes it's supposed to stay inside (and by the way, that's a big aberration to have to stay inside the body, they're not supposed to leave, and so forth - most of them have this aberration) and so stays inside or goes into another body and stays in there. A person can lose his theta lines.

He'd have a full set of skills. All of a sudden he'd be a painter. He never could paint before, but all of a sudden he's got complete amnesia, he doesn't know he's Joe Jones anymore, and he thinks he's Bill Sikes, painter. And here he is out there busily painting and doing a pretty good job of it. The little men in white go find him and give him a few electric shocks, kick him in the stomach, give him a prefrontal lobotomy," generally give him the kind and gentle treatment for which they're noted, and they get his memory back for him; they get his memory back at last. I won't say for what life or when, but you can be sure something will happen.

The only one that seems to have any constancy at all is a very old stable line, which is the center line. And that's quite stable, and when de-aberrated that line is very active - original line. All right.

Now, what is a case of homosexuality? You see a lot of these entities are identifiable as men, identifiable as women. Now, you take a young fellow, he's been going along just fine, he's a boy. Perfectly normal as a boy, and all of a sudden at the age of ten, some other boy seduces him or something of the sort, and after that he's a homosexual. What happened? Well, nothing very complicated about it. Regarding him and giving him approval all of a sudden validated a female entity. And this female entity says, "Aha! I've been validated; now I guess I'm boss around here." Moves in, takes over and that's that! How do you cure it? Straighten it out? Audit the old hag. That's easy. just audit and kick her out.

Now, when you look at this manifestation, what is it possible to do with a theta body? And the answer is anything. When you look at human behavior, what's possible? You can have one insane person pervade a whole group. You can have all sorts of things taking place.

Now, something else happens, by the way. Very often - you see, it's not normal for people to do this jump cycle and go between lives; that is not laws of the universe. That is something just foisted off, and it's only been temporary. It's happened earlier times, but it's really temporary. It's been going on here for the last thirty-five thousand years, and that's very recent. So this between-lives cycle and diving into the body just before birth is not native to the universe. That just happens to be what goes on here right now - temporary sort of a thing, probably won't last but a few more months. Anyway - unless a lot of these spirits are very well indoctrinated.

But back in the bad old days of sorcery, somebody wanted to get rid of somebody else - you see, you're not supposed to do that anymore, either. That's awfully hard to track down by law, and so forth. Here's a fellow 3,000 miles away from another fellow and the other fellow dies. And so all of a sudden we found that we didn't believe in ghosts anymore or we didn't believe in spirits anymore. A lot of things happened in this society to prevent this.

It's pretty hard to keep a tab on what it's going to be, a boy or a girl. So you et this package of theta beings all advised as to the fact they're supposed to go down there and be a good fellow this time, and it's a woman's body. That's very complex. Or you go down there and you say - the goal that's been appointed - "Now, you're supposed to be a dancer, a beautiful dancer and you're supposed to lure men." Goes down and dives in and it's a boy! Complex sort of a thing. What do you do with a boy's body that's supposed to be a beautiful dancer? "I'm sane, there's nothing wrong with me. Yap, yap. And here's this boy's body and I'm supposed to be a beautiful dancer."

But it's very possible to take, say, a child here and take one of the theta lines of the child, hypnotize the line and send it someplace else and invest somebody else and have that child be that person. You take somebody in apathy walking down the street. If you were very able theta-wise and you could get in and out of yourself at will, there's no trick at all of ust suddenly stepping into that person and making him think and do exactly what you wanted him to do. That's right. It's against the law that has been imposed on the aberration track, because it was found out that all of these lines had to be kept in one place in space or time before YOU could punish anybody. And it was very necessary to punish people, so you cou nail them down.

You get these terrific conflicts in people in the arts. They're trying hard to carry on in the arts against MEST universe which believes chaos is it. You see, theta is aesthetic and the MEST universe is force. The MEST universe is all past and theta is future. And you get somebody in the arts and he's having a rough time of it anyway, and he gets enough slaps in the face, and the first thing you know, gee, he'll shift sex or valences and he'll be very hair-trigger about things. Very upsetting. He's trying like mad to somehow regain or retain some equilibrium in a world which just isn't tailor-made for aesthetics, that's all. And so he can get into a lot of trouble.

What I'm talking to you about, you actually know natively that you can do; you feel a quiver on it, but it's against the law. And what's law?

How do you rehabilitate one of these artists? just find out who is the artist. That's all, just find out who is the artist and patch this up and square it around. You may get a fellow who was a great failure in the arts who is all of a sudden happy as a clam to be a house painter. And you may get some fellow who's a house painter that really should be a great dancer. In such wise, the entities, in shifting, will shift goals - and shift them very badly.

Compulsion - that's it, compulsion. You're supposed to stay inside and you re supposed to be good. And you're not supposed to influence anybody else and you're not supposed to send any of these theta lines anywhere else and do anything to anybody else's body.

Now, the problem, then, of auditing is just what you know it to be - thought, emotion and effort, with this simplification: you know very well from the behavior of your preclears that you haven't been auditing just one person. They just keep shifting under your hands. Something else - too complex and so on. So you just make sure that you differentiate from entity to entity and try to get them unstuck off the track very neatly and nicely and get the theta being back in power. And if you're going with this preclear on through to Theta Clear, to start bringing up that theta being, bring it up, up, up, up, up, up, up the line, get every kind of an incident you can think of and take that incident off - incidents you'll find on the track map - and you will blow by its horsepower alone the rest of the entities and, of course, blow everything below that level of entity. You'll have a unity, then, which may or may not be modified by its partner.

Now, I'm not advocating that you do. I'm not advocating that you do at all, but I am telling you that these are possibilities and potentialities inherent in the theta line.

This, then, is auditing beings.

You can go down to the library and you can pick up books about India, books about many things, and you'll find this and that happening. Think of what I have told you in these lectures and add it up on this theta line, and you will see all of a sudden a lot of these things suddenly clarify; they all of a sudden will jell.

Let's take a break.

People knew that you could take these lines and do things with them, and in the past they did. They did with a fullness and abandon which is very wonderful to behold. They would transfer theta lines and they would influence lives and they would cross things up in a most wonderful and remarkable fashion.

I wonder if I mentioned the word "building roads" to you - building roads in the sky, and just building roads and building roads and building roads, and building roads around sort of towers, and building roads across vast pieces of space, and building more roads just endlessly a nd endlessly - any of you feel tired when I tell you about that?

Well, once upon a time some of the human race got caught a pushed into bodies and built roads. That's one of the joiner incidents.

You can run somebody back into this one and they get pretty tired, because it was a static. A person went on and on, life after life after life after life after life. You see, they knew that there was such a thing as life consecutiveness; they knew all about that, they could observe that. The fact that we don't know about it now is one of the control measures.

And so they went on life after life after life after life doing the same job and the same cycle in the same place, on and on and on, under very heavy control. And so you'll find that section of the track is quite aberrated.

Now, how did they do this? How could you possibly catch a theta body? It's air, sort of -, it's worse than air, it's just nothing. How do you lay got trapped hold of it? Well, you can attract it by its feeling of ethics. You can attract it by its curiosity, or any other way that you can influence a human being into doing something that you know very well is bad for him.

You invite his interest; you give him a lot of bow-row-rowr-rowr. And remember, in those days theta bodies were not invisible any more than they're invisible now.

So, your theta body could be attracted to a body for some very noble purpose or something of the sort, and then the purpose would get ignoble suddenly. Something would happen; a switch would happen. When this would occur, somebody would be trapped, because a theta body could be put to sleep. It could be put this way, it could be pressed that way.

And some genius somewhere along the line picked up a wave that was very close to the wavelength of one over infinity. And it's so close to theta that it'll affect theta; it's the same wavelength as emotion. Emotion is one of those very, very short wavelengths. It'll affect a facsimile or a theta body or the MEST universe, so it makes a crossroads.

If you had a wave - electronic wave - in that area or part of the band, all you would have to do would be to shove it at a theta body and you would get some sort of a result resembling unconsciousness, or the theta body could not get away or something of the sort. In other words, there's a part of a band, such as emotion - there's an electronic approximation of it possible - by which a theta body could be trapped. This is initially how it began to happen.

And then how did you keep somebody there? How did you keep them from getting away? Well, these are big problems. It took giant brains to figure out these things.

One of the ways you could do it would be to take some of the physical body and get the theta body attached to it. Take a portion of it; keep this portion in pawn, in hock. Put it in a little field so that it would live, you know, and put it in - like Alexis Carrell and Lindbergh figured out, keep the cells growing happily. And then, if you did something wrong over there a couple of miles, just - tsk! - stick it, and you'd hurt over there a couple of miles away because you were told you would. You had to be educated into physical universe pain. Well, that sounds very wild, but it's a possibility. And all I'm telling you about are possibilities, right now.

Now, there is the distinct possibility of doing this with a theta body: here is a theta body or several bodies in a MEST body. Here's a MEST body, much like you or I, or maybe one-eyed. Here's this NEST body and this MEST body is in perfectly good condition. And one day it walks along the road and sees this sign - says "Volunteers" or something of the sort, "Big Project - Big Project." And walks inside the building to find out what is this big project and there is the most gorgeous glowing block of stone which is hanging in midair - much like Mohammed had - except it emanates. He's gone. You walk in - bing! That's it.

Then somebody (and this is theoretically, of course), somebody could take you and put you over in a building, you know, and they could shoot you full of narcosynthesis and say, "Now, you'd better, for your own good and because you have this big mission to accomplish, go to such-and-such a place and take the body which you see there, and work with it to accomplish so-and-so. And when that body dies, you will return here. And we will take very, very good care of this body here all the time you are gone. And you needn't worry about this body, because we will take good care of it. And you'll go down there and you do so-and-so and such-and-such and all will be well."

Well, all right. This individual, theoretically, could leave then. Theta body leaves - goes down here, leaves a little bit of theta there, you know, keeps the body ticking over, and comes down here to this area and takes over this other body. Of course, this other body always seems sort of unreal (there's already a soul in it). But it seems sort of unreal somehow but he works with it. And he doesn't quite know what he's doing, and he goes on. He's supposed to keep the body from pain, and he's supposed to do good, and he's supposed to do that and he's got a big goal and so on. And all of a sudden, one day, gets himself killed. Hah! He's supposed to report back now!

So he reports back; he walks in and he gets into the body, the body wiggles a little bit and the guards come along and they say, "Hah! There's another one." They pick him up and take him in. "Now, what did you do? What's it like? Give us a report. Now, all right. Mm-hm. Hm, that's very interesting. Mm-hm. Very interesting. Are you sure that's what you did? Yes, yes. Go on. Are you sure you know what you're doing? Mm-hm. You sure you were there? Mm-hm. Mm-hm. How do you know that was good? Well, why did you do it? Now, we going to open and write it down here in a big book, and I think you'd better go back again and see if you can't do better this next time. Well, forget it!" Bang! The person forgets it.

Then they take him over in the next room and shoot him full of stuff again. And they say now, "Yappity-yappity-yappity-yappity,yap," and "Here's what,you're supposed to do; you're supposed to go down there and get the next body you can come across down there, and it's all fixed up and you're - all good shape. And this time your goal is to organize a church. Yeah, you're supposed to organize a church in this life. So, goodbye."

The person would appear down here as a baby - the line already has a soul in it - would appear down here all of a sudden as a baby, and go along and try to organize this church and try to organize this church.

Now, the funny part of it is that he could be a composite mass of bodies, that is, theta bodies, which was - just amounts to one personality, and they could all be shunted simultaneously. So there he goes.

And he organizes a church and he organizes a church and he organizes a church. Only he doesn't organize a church very well and one day he gets killed. So, he's loose, he's outside of the body again and he - this is strange - he thought he belonged in that body. The second he gets out of it he realizes he doesn't belong in that body, but he's very foggy - when he gets out of it, he gets just awful foggy. So he goes back again and he - this body twitches and one of the guards says, "Well, come along with me," take him down. Write down in a big book, "What did you do? Why? Oh, you didn't do that! Yeah. Well, are you sure that was right? Are you sure that was what you were told?" Confuse, confuse, confuse, confuse. "Well, forget it. You'll have a to go down again."

"But you told me I wouldn't have to go down again!"

"Well, forget it. So-and-so and so-and-so and so-and-so. Yeah, your goals this time is to go down and be very good in the hay business." Well, the fellow goes - very dopey about this whole thing and he goes down, and sure, this is all he's supposed to know. He's supposed to be in a body, supposed to go through this routine and goes to the other end of the line. And how long could it go on?

Well, it could go on until such a body fell apart. That's the truth. Because you could keep a body - even with methods of food preservation we have here on earth and mechanisms which we have right here on earth at this time - you could probably keep a body ticking over for hundreds of years. Theoretically, you could keep one ticking over for thousands of years.

Then one day he goes back and he says, "I have no body." So he kind of shuffles down the hall - that's where he's supposed to go - and he shuffles down the hall and nobody sees him. But he stands around for a while and he says, "Well, I guess this is time I go back there again" and - pop! keeps going through the cycle endlessly, endlessly, over and over, but now with no implanted goals, and so he gets pretty aimless. He'd sure be puzzled, wouldn't he?

You could do such a trick if you wanted to control a planet, if you wanted to control a people or if you wanted to get something done for your own purposes. And if you were very good at electronics and that sort of thing, well, just a hair better than we are now, you could do this. You actively could accomplish this by shifting theta bodies around with astral projection.
