I've been talking to you about the goddess Kali. And I'm going to show her to you. Here's the platform she stands on which is a dead man surrounded by poisonous snakes. See that? It's a dead man and he's lying there. And he goes like this, and then the goddess herself, oddly enough — this is a fairly good one — the goddess herself representing sudden death, goes like that. | I've been talking to you about the goddess Kali.

And there's the goddess Kali, as worshiped at this moment in British India in a city founded by the British and doubtlessly very civilized by them. But after three hundred years they still have as their chief festival, the goddess Kali. There she is with dead men's heads! A dead man's head. Snakes. Usually as represented in a temple, why, there will be jackals and evil demons and so forth standing around about the goddess. And there she is of course with man prostrate. | And there's the goddess Kali, as worshiped at this moment in British India in a city founded by the British and doubtlessly very civilized by them.

The funny thing about this is ages and ages ago reputedly, why, she gave a hand to somebody or other ... (Hm, I wonder if there isn't another piece of this goddess in there. Apparently is, probably a head missing in there some-place. A head in this hand.) | The funny thing about this is ages and ages ago reputedly, why, she gave a hand to somebody or other ...

She gave somebody a hand during a revolution or something reputedly, the Divine Krishna or something. And he gave her afterwards the right to kill any men, or any man, or to destroy anything and everybody. And of course, the Indian now explains to you, "Well, it's just the goddess and actually that's a version of the Divine Earth Mother and ..." | She gave somebody a hand during a revolution or something reputedly, the Divine Krishna or something.

Worship of destruction. Now, simultaneously, of course, the basic worship of India is sexual creation. And you can't walk anywhere in India without seeing sexual symbols all over the place and so forth. They are busy worshiping that and this is their principal goddess amongst the people. Isn't that interesting? | Worship of destruction. Now, simultaneously, of course, the basic worship of India is sexual creation.

This, many years ago, before they started downhill too badly — many, many centuries ago — was only the goddess of the thuggee, who as a murderer and a thief used to gather in bands along the principal roadways of India and guide a caravan to a nice, quiet place and then suddenly jump upon them in the middle of the night, kill everybody in the caravan. They even had ways of slitting the stomach so it wouldn't gather gases, and breaking the bones in a peculiar way, and then they'd dump them in a pit somewhere near the road-way, and they would simply disappear. | This, many years ago, before they started downhill too badly — many, many centuries ago — was only the goddess of the thuggee, who as a murderer and a thief used to gather in bands along the principal roadways of India and guide a caravan to a nice, quiet place and then suddenly jump upon them in the middle of the night, kill everybody in the caravan.

Then there was a huge market and the thugs took all of these stolen goods to this market and once a year would go down there and get back their share of the proceeds and so forth. | Then there was a huge market and the thugs took all of these stolen goods to this market and once a year would go down there and get back their share of the proceeds and so forth. |
Now, creation being their basic worship, sexual symbols and so forth, creation in merely a body form, responding at once with the destruction of their principal goddess worship was Kali.

A country that has just jammed tight on the cycle of action. Now, it would be as much as anybody was worth to create anything in India. See? | A country that has just jammed tight on the cycle of action. Now, it would be as much as anybody was worth to create anything in India. See? |

Of course, the old John Company was fairly well — well understood by the British. The old John Company was very well understood. The British under-stood it to be a bunch of robbers and thieves that are keeping a whole country enslaved and they thought this was terrible and it ceased to exist back in the middle of the nineteenth century. It was the original white lord and master of India, and it took over, of course, from the Mongols or the Moguls which were left there from Tamerlane's invasion, and it was just a private company, as you know, and they took the place over and all they were interested in was, as an American would say today, "a quick buck." They were interested in a quick buck. And actually they were pretty well understood by the Indian. The Indian knew what they were all about. They simply robbed everything they could get their hands on. | Of course, the old John Company was fairly well — well understood by the British. The old John Company was very well understood.

Now, probably if any of you were part of the old John Company, you'd probably get up and say, "We stood for good order and discipline and we only slept with the Memsahibs and white women were all imported and we were pure and honorable and just and noble and so forth." | Now, probably if any of you were part of the old John Company, you'd probably get up and say, "We stood for good order and discipline and we only slept with the Memsahibs and white women were all imported and we were pure and honorable and just and noble and so forth." |
That may well be but the history of the company was sufficiently rapacious it actually kept it under control — kept India under control for the British for — well, it continued the original seventeenth-century conquests and it had almost a total monopoly for over a century. | That may well be but the history of the company was sufficiently rapacious it actually kept it under control — kept India under control for the British for — well, it continued the original seventeenth-century conquests and it had almost a total monopoly for over a century. |

Well, it's basically this close in: is, there goes white civilization. And the eighty-thousand people who sleep every night without covers over their heads in the streets of Calcutta are the result of the combined aberrations of a race that got to a point where it could no longer produce without producing chaos. Where individual life and that sort of thing became almost worthless. | Well, it's basically this close in: is, there goes white civilization.

I don't believe they're pulling out of it. I believe they were let down. I never am supposed to make political comments particularly, but the few I do make — I see that they might have had a chance with a very, very strong European hand. They might have had a chance. But I don't think they've got much of a chance now. They are simply going to lie there and be eaten up by the commie. The commie will come in and eat him up and the commie has already started, he has already started feeling out their borders. Communist China is already making the little push in. And the roads followed by Tamer-lane will be followed again, and there will be more starvation and death and misery and suffering in India than before. And that is the downward spiral. | I don't believe they're pulling out of it. I believe they were let down.

Now, it's that cycle of action which is indicative of a country's health, the condition of that cycle of action. How much destruction is posed against what creation? And if you can answer that one question about any country, you can tell practically everything else you want to know about that country, promptly. And when these two things are almost identical, hah, of course they've had it. Now, it's very easy to discuss the third dynamic. You can get a broad look at the third dynamic. It's not so easy to look at the individual, the individual person. But as things happen on the third dynamic, so they hap-pen in the individual. | Now, it's that cycle of action which is indicative of a country's health, the condition of that cycle of action.

He starts out, he is perfectly capable of very broad, very good production. He can produce! He can make things. He can create things. Very early on the track he could create bodies just like that, bang! There weren't — wasn't any machinery in the bodies, didn't need any. | He starts out, he is perfectly capable of very broad, very good production. He can produce! He can make things.

All right. Goes on to a point of where the bodies that are created inevitably die. Well, that sounds like a very funny mechanism. It's already happened that he's obsessively creating if a body goes through a cycle to destruction. Because all destruction is, is a continuous creation which is capped or surrounded by a new creation which mishmashes it. | All right.

In other words, there sits a decaying temple. We lob some six-inch shells into it and it becomes rubble. But something is still creating a temple, don't you see?

Now, without the first creation being removed the destruction remains. You've got to get rid of the first creation. Therefore, if you want to treat a preclear rough like I'm treating some of them rough because I'm not bothering to take it easy on them; they scream, and throw down cans and so on. You just process "create," and create carries all the way through the cycle of action. | Now, without the first creation being removed the destruction remains.

The cycle of action: create-survive-destroy is actually composed of create, create-create-create — continuous creation, and then a superimposed creation which brings about a destruction.

All right, therefore the rubble blew off because the — some of the obsessive creations were handled.

And you see a pc's body one day just get thinner and thinner and disappear in the chair, that's right. You're fortunately looking at a pc which you've brought up to being able to put a body in the chair. That's very fortunate for you.

Now, the only real method, the only actual method of causing anything to cease to exist is to stop creating it. That's the only method of getting any-thing to cease. You just cease to create. | Now, the only real method, the only actual method of causing anything to cease to exist is to stop creating it. That's the only method of getting any-thing to cease.

And man is so obsessive on creation, he's totally lost sight of this and he doesn't cease to create something. He creates something new to destroy the old and of course that leaves him with any God's quantity of rubble. That leaves him with all the brick and mortar dust and the bullet splinters.

It also leaves him with physics. That's the total genus of physics. Physics has its original assumption — all subjects start with an assumption, except Scientology. Dianetics started with an assumption: "The basic principle of existence is survival." You see how close we're back on the groove though? Because we're talking about the same curve that that word survival occurs on. Don't you see? And we're right back on the groove, except we're just a little bit ahead of it.

Now, obsessive creation could be said to be his only fault. But this leads into the assumption by the physicist of "conservation of energy."

But conservation be damned! Why don't they just say, "persistence." And then they would have been close to truth, but they said "conservation" and then they didn't even define this very well, and it left them with a queer and peculiar jump-off.

The reason matter persists is because it's so alter-ised that nobody can find out where it came from. They hope.

And what are you doing mocking up any new energy you don't need to create because the physical universe has already done the job complete, full, utter, consistent, and it's helping you out. So, therefore you don't need to create any more. In fact, you'd better not. Because if you did, why, if you started creating the ground Moscow stood on, well, there's liable to be none.

Why you — you're liable — you're liable to be down at Fort Knox and be looking at all that beautiful gold that's all stored away down there, and accidentally say to yourself, "Well, you know, I wouldn't mind creating all that gold — fooom." And the guards run in and run out, and the bells ring and so forth, and say, "Somebody stole all the gold." Nobody stole any gold. Some-body disbelieved this fact: "It is no longer necessary to create anything because we've got everything, haven't we.

Well, I'll tell you something.

Well, if you can create that well, then theoretically you could say in the next few minutes, "Let there be gold with my initials stamped on it." And then the guards would run in and out and have an awful time because some-body had monkeyed with the gold. | Well, if you can create that well, then theoretically you could say in the next few minutes, "Let there be gold with my initials stamped on it."

In order to make something persist it is not necessary, of course, to stand there and continue to create it forever. That's not necessary. It's only really necessary — you don't need this mechanism at all, that's the horrible part of it. All you have to say is that the creation will persist. And that's an entirely different plot than standing there creating-creating-creating-creating, then destroying what you're creating while you're creating it over here, and you're creating something over here and you're destroying it over here at the same time, and you have to remember to create here and so you forget that and you just keep doing that automatically while this ... | In order to make something persist it is not necessary, of course, to stand there and continue to create it forever.

Well, that's the way it's being done right now. I think basically it's lack of trust that does this. I think that you believe that somebody could out — unmock your creations. So, it's better to have an indecipherable system that nobody can get back to. Well, whatever rationale there was on it, obsessive creation comes about basically from mistrust. You create forever, and keep created forever a bad experience to remind yourself that bad experiences can occur. That's distrust, isn't it? That's distrust of self.

The funny part of it is all bad experiences erase only on the overt. They don't erase on the motivators. You can just forget motivators. You can! Just forget them! I've been working this summer hard along this direction. Finally, had to realize the horrible truth of the matter; that nobody can bust your nose, nobody can kick you in the shins, it's not possible without you doing it. Someplace, somehow, you had to set it up so that you would get busted in the nose and kicked in the shins, and you have to even cooperate to make sure that you continue to have a busted nose. It's the most fantastic piece of cooperation you ever saw. It's totally an overt. It's almost as if you didn't even get the other fellow to do it, you know, so that you would then be able to mock up a broken nose. See? You didn't get the other fellow to do it or anything. You just did it. You know? | The funny part of it is all bad experiences erase only on the overt. They don't erase on the motivators. You can just forget motivators. You can! Just forget them! I've been working this summer hard along this direction. Finally, had to realize the horrible truth of the matter; that nobody can bust your nose, nobody can kick you in the shins, it's not possible without you doing it. Someplace, somehow, you had to set it up so that you would get busted in the nose and kicked in the shins, and you have to even cooperate to make sure that you continue to have a busted nose. It's the most fantastic piece of cooperation you ever saw. It's totally an overt.

This guy is lying there with blood all over the pavement, you know, gasping in agony and so forth, and he's just been run over and flattened.

Why? Because when you were running engrams, there was an accidental which was never mentioned. It wasn't sorted out until just a few months ago.

Well, as a matter of fact, people are so tricked around on the thing, they believe it can be done and they've got the valences so shifted that they believe it's being done to somebody else while it's being done to them. And then they can feel pain. I know that doesn't make it hurt any less. The pain is real. The cut-ups are quite real. But the mechanics of how it got there are the damnedest things you ever saw.

A much more sensible treatment was later indicated in auditing, if they'd just taken a big magnet or something of the sort and dragged it back and forth across my chest, and gotten some of the very tiny steel splinters out of me, and out from underneath the armpit, and out of my skull, why, I'd have been probably all set.

Just goes on and on and on and there sits the audience crying quietly to themselves. You know? You'd expect they'd be all caved-in. Well, as a mat-ter of fact they were tremendously uplifted. Leaving the theater, they'd actually been brought way uptone to grief. | I remember one Japanese movie. A soldier goes off to the wars and leaves his sweetheart, and she receives a report that he's killed. That's all in the first fifth of the first reel. The thing goes now for about ten reels.

Because the first time I ever saw one of these doggone things, I could hardly contain myself, you know?

And don't be too surprised merely because it so jars against your point of view, to find some people around who only start to wake up and get alert and so forth, when they're presented with a method or act of destruction. | And don't be too surprised merely because it so jars against your point of view, to find some people around who only start to wake up and get alert and so forth, when they're presented with a method or act of destruction. |
You see a bunch of people in the street, well they've all — like an accident happens, somebody falls off a bicycle alongside of a park, you know, and everybody has been sitting in the park bored to death. You know? Somebody falls off a bicycle, you know, and he appears to be hurt, and they all rally around. Just look at them, how cheerful they look sometimes. That's — that's right there man!

And you get some very, very, very caved-in girl, and so on, why it's — this is by the way, down around insane category.

And similarly there are husbands around who just can't stand it. This girl is going on, she's leading a straightforward, constructive life, she's trying to take care of the home, she's trying to do this, she's trying to do that. And she thinks something is terribly wrong with him because the highest level of wife he could accept is somebody who is gnawing on his leg about twenty-four hours a day. Get the idea?

As you get these cycles of action different, you get it so different that you, here, going to India, you'd say, "Well, I just don't understand these people." That's right.

What they're saying basically is "They're too different on the Tone Scale for me to agree with." | What they're saying basically is "They're too different on the Tone Scale for me to agree with." |
Now about as far different as you can get on a Tone Scale is half a tone to get agreement. And you can get within half a tone of somebody's chronic tone, you've got agreement.

Well, the cycles of action match in much this same way. The distance between create and destroy. "What it is permissible to create" "What it's permissible to have survive" "What's permissible to have destroyed?" all match that Tone Scale one way or the other; they haven't been added into it yet, closely. | Well, the cycles of action match in much this same way.

But you get a narrowing of the cycle of action between create and destroy as you go down the Tone Scale, down to about zero and then you start to get a flip.

Well, as you look down from the longer lived mammals, you'll get the more intelligent mammals and so on.

Nearly all mammals are about six times their growth cycle — comprises their adulthood. In other words they live six times as long as it takes them to grow up. And man doesn't live anywhere near that.

Man, theoretically, should live something on the order of a hundred and twenty years. And he lives on an average right now, I think, about fifty-six, fifty-seven, I don't know what the actuarial figures are and they're not seventy. But he ought to live somewhere — an average of a hundred and twenty. Now that would put him in proper intelligence swing because just under him would be the elephant at about a hundred. I don't know what the age of an elephant is; I haven't talked to any elephants lately to find out how long they're living. | Man, theoretically, should live something on the order of a hundred and twenty years.

Some errors have been introduced here is about the best we could say about all this. These things are not running their basic, laid-out pattern, something is interfering with this basic, laid-out pattern of the create-survive-destroy on the original mock-up. Bodies ought to be living the period they should be living. That's for sure, because that would only be the original intention of the mock-up. See? So, something's cutting this back. | Some errors have been introduced here is about the best we could say about all this.

Now, the very least we should be able to do with ease, the very least we should be able to do is to bring man's cycle of action up to somewhere around a hundred and twenty.

The basic thing I am talking about is the shortening of the cycle of action, create-survive-destroy, shortening of it. Distance between creation and destruction and the inversions of creation and destruction as they eventually overtake man and his various civilizations. It overtakes them pretty fast. | The basic thing I am talking about is the shortening of the cycle of action, create-survive-destroy, shortening of it.
