Okay. This is February 1st, 1954, afternoon lecture.

This is February 1, 1954. This morning we have a couple of things you’ll be very interested in, I know. One of them is-and the most important-is exteriorization-interiorization when used in connection with Opening Procedure. And you take a fellow’s hat and have him exteriorize and interiorize his hand out of it. Get a basket. Put a small basket over the top of a beer bottle cap or something like that and have him grant the beer bottle cap beingness and exteriorize and interiorize the beer bottle cap. This is a fantastic process in that it very often knocks your preclear completely out-just boom. And he goes anaten like mad and tells you right there why he isn’t exteriorizing easily;

The solvent particles are courage, enjoyment, admiration. These are very solvent. See, they’re very good. They kick together all sorts of things and kick them apart.

Of course, the main difficulty with any preclear is his inability to take orders. Dianetics, where it failed, failed exactly over that stumbling block: the inability of the auditor to give orders and the inability of the preclear to receive orders of the simplest nature.

It might occur to you sometime that you had to let courage or admiration or enjoyment out of something. Every once in a while a big black shape shows up like that-soft sort of a shape or something like that, to a preclear, and he doesn’t quite know what to make of this. Tell him to puncture it and let the favorable emotion run out. He’s liable to get admiration or something like that He’s just saving it.

You would be amazed at the difficulty the public has with minor machinery. You possibly would be very edified to talk to somebody who writes instruction books. People who write books on how to use the gimmigahoogit. People who try to write books on an army mess kit, use of. This is a very, very difficult thing. It is not difficult to write it at all, but it’s a very difficult thing to relay the method of use of something from one to another.

Literally true that somebody could be loved to pieces or that somebody could enjoy himself to death. And certainly true that many a man can courageously face the world and die in the bargain.

Now, these poor boys that are around beating their heads to pieces, trying to figure out how to use an army mess kit, Mark IV, in such a way that somebody reading that little manual will then be able to use an army mess kit, are up against something that’s too terrible for them to face, too horrible for them to face. And, that is to say, the people who will have that mess kit can’t take an instruction off of a piece of paper. That’s about all there is to it. There isn’t any sense in anybody being upset about-unable to give directions to somebody via a piece of paper, because actually it’s a job of auditing that’s necessary.

Well now, after running Courage Processing, one expects that to happen which happens, which is to say, that a lot of havingness gets dissolved. One doesn’t expect particularly, however, an enormous amount of upset by this by an auditor who knows what he is doing, that there has been some upset because of this. And so some of you obviously don’t know what you’re doing.

Now, I very often will pick up something in the society, some mechanical gimmick, which is very, very simple to use and try to show somebody its use, particularly when I have a piece of equipment of my own that somebody else is going to employ for a short time, such as a piece of office equipment. And two or three minutes later, why, almost have an utterly wrecked machine on my hands. Whereas it’s almost impossible to wreck this piece of machinery, it’ll be wrecked. Well, the reason it gets wrecked is, of course, level of acceptance and ability or inability to take orders or directions.

Now, it’s a very remarkable thing that I could give you over and over, as many times as I have, the basic principles of havingness: what havingness is, the reduction of space resulting in havingness, mock-ups of havingness, havingness being time. And for you still to wonder why individuals get stuck on the time track and wonder why they remain stuck on the time track-that’s quite remarkable. I mean, that is a feat, that’s quite a feat.

The simplest directions can go awry. You as an Instructor will be faced with this continually. And you as an auditor and the auditors that you train will be faced with this. The preclear is essentially incapable of observing his surroundings, which of course is an incapability of reducing the surroundings to a symbol. You see that? That observation and direction are-verbal direction-are apart just that much on the Tone Scale. You have what the person should observe, anyhow, having to be condensed down to words. Well, this is all very well. It is a problem in “can’t look,” you see?

And the other, you’ve had a lot of talk about automaticity. You should know what automaticity is and you should know how to remedy it. And for somebody to go around wildly and dramatically dramatizing frenzy, immediately after running Courage Processing, would merely state to an individual that the auditor didn’t know what the hell he was doing. Because that is the immediate next step in running Courage Processing: frenzy, despair, loss, pain, fear, horror, chagrin, so it just wasn’t handled, that’s all.

Now, you will find in every large company there will be-companies don’t know this ordinarily except by experience, but if they knew it a little bit better, they would look for it very hard-but they will have people in their midst who will be able to look over a piece of machinery, something of the sort, and say, “Well that’s so-and-so and so-and-so and that does this and that does that and that does something else and that does something else.” And say, “Well that’s the way it works.” Fine.

Now, I’m going to come down on you with both feet. Of all these processes, the most important processes are the unlimited processes and the only important subjective process, as such, that there is, is Havingness Processing.

And then somebody comes along with the instruction manual and says, “You have to study this.”

In order to run Havingness Processing, you have to be able to run automaticities. Just to say, something strange, peculiar and alarming shows up and almost stops the preclear in his tracks, you have to know enough to tell him to put it there three or four more times and go on with Havingness Processing. If you don’t know enough to tell him to put it there three or four more times, he’ll get stuck with it.

And the fellow says, “Well, okay, okay, okay.” He looks over the instruction manual and so forth and goes on using the piece of machinery.

An automaticity, a sudden unpredicted motion or object or figure shows up, just tell him to throw that in there three or four more times too and keep on with Havingness Processing. That is not too much to ask that you do this.

Other people they give the machinery to, look for the instruction manual, read it, then think they have to have a lot of experience on the machine and so forth.

Because you to some degree leave a preclear stuck on the time track when these wild automaticities show up and the auditor doesn’t ask him to even repeat them once or twice, just to take the edge of them off.

And you know the difference between those two people? The difference is very, very wicked: the fellow who says, “Yup, that’s what that’s for” and so forth, “sure I’ll read the manual, yeah,” and the other fellow, is the machine won’t run for the second fellow and it will be a mass of junk in a relatively short space of time. Because the index of fear, you might say, is that index of “can’t look.”

All right.

See that? The fellow who has to have it explained in terms of the machine and he has to read the instruction book several times and then he has to take coaching and then he has to have somebody being very alert in maintenance and so forth, to keep giving him this and that, that fellow is going to wreck that machine. And very funny, he’s not just going to wreck it in terms of bad handling in, you know, misdirection, but he’s going to leave a monkey wrench or something lying up there on the spinner wheel at the time he turns it on. Or he’s going to have a steel plate sitting underneath the needle when he pushes the button accidentally, you see, and that crushes the entire needle-button arrangement. He’s going to let the filings accumulate underneath this-various parts of the machine so they grind out all the bearings. And you know, you know, no machine.

How do you run Havingness Processing? And you better listen because that’s all you’re going to run for the rest of this week on anybody, anywhere. I don’t care if it bogs you down to purgatory. If you as an auditor are so bad off that you can’t have, don’t dramatize it by not letting the preclear have too. That’s about what it amounts to. There isn’t any slightest excuse for a single case here to be other than Theta Cleared right here at this minute, right this instant, no slightest excuse, because the tools are to hand. They are simple enough to understand and they require the flimsiest, thinnest, most briefly stated directions to use.

Well now, where you have an automatic society, a society that is running, running, running, automatically on all sides, it gets to be the ambition of the engineer to build things that will have no maintenance problem of any kind. None. He is just obsessed with this as a problem.

That you would have to spend any time at all learning how to use these things is remarkable to say the least.

His ideal machine is one that is unbreakable and untamperable, which is enclosed in a housing and you throw on a switch and it does something automatically without a human being even coming near it; And he begins to be afraid of human beings in terms of machinery. He’s always trying to design the human being out of the machine. That is, at length, his obsession. It’s an obsession.

How do you run Havingness Processing? Well, you tell a guy to get an acceptable version of Earth-let’s get it in its simplest form now-an acceptable version of Earth and deteriorate it until he can accept it or until it bangs in or pops in on him. And you want this stuff banging in on him, you don’t want him putting it in.

Well, what’s he doing? He’s dealing with human beings who have to work to eat. He’s dealing with people that if they don’t put out effort, won’t have any effort and in addition to that, won’t be sane. So his effort, of course, is putting people out of work and this is the fight against the machine. But people get put out of work when they hit that part of the band when they can’t look something over and understand what its use is.

Some preclear says to you, “Oh, nothing will snap in on me.” Run a little bit of Courage Processing on him, at least get the immediate, the immediate, instant barrier out of the road. Run a little bit of unlimited processing on him.

You would be fascinated at the complexity of some of the early machinery-some of the very early machinery which was put out. How much servomechanism a man had to be to that machine. If you take an early steamboat-the amount of valves and things that had to be adjusted manually in order to make it run right-you’d be fascinated. You’d say, “How could a man have that many hands and work that fast?”

When I say “a little bit,” I mean three minutes’ worth, two minutes’ worth. When I say “a whole lot of auditing,” I mean an hour’s worth. I mean, when I just mean a tremendous hard labor at auditing, I mean five hours’ worth.

Well actually, those early steamboats worked. They crossed the Atlantic and they did all sorts of interesting things. And they blew up once in a while and burned down and so on, because in any age, at any time, there are aberrated people. Anything as touchy as one of those steamboats-I’m talking now about oceangoing steamboats-required an awful lot of experience in design work before it came up to the point where it could combat the sea successfully, just that.

Let’s shorten this up. How many hours have we put in here auditing? What have we been doing? All right.

But a fascinating thing that you found those ships, so equipped, doing rather marvelous things in terms of horsepower and length of time run and all that So much so that one time in a very isolated part of the world, I ran across a steam vessel which had been in operation since 1865 and the engines were still running. Why, this is incredible! The engines were still running on that thing.

Havingness Processing is run very simply. You tell him to get a version of Earth, deteriorate it somehow, some way, until it can snap in on him. And then you get lots of them. And then you get lots more of them and then just for variation, you get lots more. And when the stars suddenly showing up coming in on the guy, you tell him to get the stars too. And anything that shows up in terms of mass, you get more of. That’s easy, isn’t it?

Compare this to World War II, where the very best diesel equipment that could be manufactured in the United States, on the very best design, was put into corvettes and escort vessels and put into the hands of people that-all they really had to do was push the fuel injection lever and pull the air andpam, they were off and running. And actually, this one type of machine simply required this and nothing else: required that it be run at flank speed, never reduced. Don’t ever run it slow, run it fast, run it all the speed it would take because it was designed to run at that speed.

And all of a sudden the preclear says, “I am about to have a convulsion.” Let them flip-flop their body across the floor a few times. Or the fellow says, “I’m stopped dead in my tracks. I just can’t do another thing.” You stop him dead in his tracks three or four times and keep up with the process. I said three or four times, not three or four hours! Make him flip-flop across the floor till it doesn’t worry him. And how long is that? In my auditing, it’s thirty seconds at the maximum and that’s all. Just take the edge of it off.

Well, do you know that one-third of the engines thus produced were relegated to port duty, United States only, and were not permitted to adventure out upon the high seas in vessels far larger than the early packets that were crossing the Atlantic, with horsepower far greater. And with all of these many, many decades of technology in between, one-third of the engines installed in such vessels were so distrusted that they could not be permitted out of the sight of the US mainland. Fascinating isn’t it?

Why do you give it a lick and a promise like this? That isn’t thorough, is it? Well, Havingness Processing is thorough. Listen, the only reason he’s got an energy pattern with significance in it in restimulation is he doesn’t have enough energy to compensate for his appetite. That’s the only reason he’s got a facsimile pulled in on him. It’s the only reason he’s frantic.

Well, let’s take just one of those vessels and get the human difference. Here-the name of the engine, by the way, was the HOR, the Hearns, Owens, Rentschler. It’s a stationary engine normally used in light plants and it was installed in vessels after being stripped down.

He’s got a facsimile. We all know about these facsimiles. Well, what the hell is it doing there stuck? What is he doing pressing a Fac One against his chest? Why is he in an electronic? Why can’t he get rid of these locks? Why does he have a chronic somatic? What’s the answer to every question you have asked since you came into Dianetics or Scientology? It’s he ain’t got enough energy, that’s all! It’s energy starvation, that’s all! And he’ll pull in any kind of energy, anything, just anything because he thinks that’s all he can have.

But that engine was in a ship and this engine room was under the commands of a chief motor machinist mate, US Navy-regular navy-about fifteen years service. And this set of engines did nothing but break down, nothing but break down! You couldn’t come alongside of a dock and safely land, because one of the engines wouldn’t be running all of a sudden. So I began to make eggshell landings and so forth. I had quite an experience with this problem. And got rid of that chief motor mach and got another one-also regular navy-this one with about twelve years’ service. And the engines continued to break down. And it was to a point where I used to have to go down into the engine room to check over the lubrication of the engines, just to look them over to make sure that they were still getting lubricated in the right places and so forth, just so they wouldn’t quit on the next landing or something of the sort.

He can have a Fac One because it’s a lousy piece of energy. He can have a conception or he can have a railroad wreck. We can examine all the mechanics of these and understand them, but if you don’t grasp them instantly, it doesn’t matter, because the only thing that’s significant about it is it’s all he can have is a railroad wreck. And he can’t quite have it, so it stops. And he’s got it. And that’s not because there’s any significance to railroad wrecks or anything else. The only significance is, is this individual can’t have large dense masses. And not able to have large dense masses, of course, he can’t have space because every automaticity he’s got is involved in trying to give him more dense masses than he already has.

And then finally asked who in the engine room is usually obeyed by the kids on duty? Who do they look to? And fellow says, “Fellow by the name of Reisling.” Well, he’s a second-class motor mach. So I looked up this fellow Reisling, found out he’d been in the navy for a very, very short space of time, hadn’t even gone through boot camp, had just missed it in all directions and had suddenly landed on the deck of my ship as a second-class motor machinist mate for the excellent reason that he owned a garage which serviced truck diesels in Chicago. Total experience with the sea, nonexistent. And all of a sudden, these huge HORs began to run and they never broke down and there wasn’t a single part went bad on them. And they never did anything after that but run at the speed they were supposed to run at and they continued right straight on up to the time the vessel was sunk.

So the answer to it is give him the largest and mostest dense masses that you can give him. And how long do you give it to him? Until he’s well! And how long is that? Three hours, five hours- certainly no more than that.

Now, here we have a case in point. What’s the difference between this fellow Reisling and these chief motor machs USN? It’s something about taking directions, isn’t it? There would be something there. And sure enough, here you have men who are beaten into taking directions. They are argued and court-martialed into taking directions. They are taking directions under duress consistently and continually until at last everything they touch falls apart. Because when they try to give anything directions, it restimulates what’s happened to them, which is to say, “Make a sailor out of him or make an engineer out of him by ruining him.” So they follow the philosophy of “Make an engine out of it by ruining it.”

The most significant and horrible Freudian experience, the most terrific operation, the awfullest engram which we ever spotted on the track, will blow through. It’ll almost kill your preclear sometimes, but the way to have it really kill him is to stop the process and go into deeper significances. You see how to really butcher him? Interrupt his havingness. Because that’s all anything and everything has been doing to him since the beginning of the track was to interrupt his havingness, which is, of course, interrupt his time.

And there is where control by force, rather than leadership by reason, foul up. There is where control by force brings an entire society, at length, to its knees. Because an individual will pass on-in directions he is giving anything and anyone, after he gets to be a stimulus-response mechanism-pretty well the type of direction which indoctrinated him.

All right. Your preclear is stuck in past time. That’s because he can’t have the future, isn’t it? Well, that’s good and significant. Well, if he hasn’t got enough havingness to balance his bank out, he can’t have any future, of course. Because every significance in the entire bank eventually goes into restimulation because he keeps picking up more and more lousy and useless and worthless pieces of energy and stuffing them in and they carry big significances. And so we get a phrase from Papa which is terribly aberrative, a phrase from Mama which is terrifically aberrative, a phrase from Uncle Oscar which is tremendously aberrative.

Therefore, we get interested in this stimulus-response mechanism and we know that to patch somebody together we had better clean him up so that the stimulus-response mechanism itself will not be relayed on down the line through everything in his existence.

You don’t even have to run Uncle Oscar, just run some more planets. Because it tells you this: The individual is hugging in a piece of energy in spite of what it says. The terrible value of energy.

And when you have to beat a man to give him directions, you’re installing an automatic machine which has “wreckage” as its primary goal. If you say, “If you don’t do this, we’re going to wreck you.” Therefore, he has to turn around to everything he runs and his machinery and actually (and what we’re really getting toward here) the automatic machinery in his bank, his own automaticities. “We cannot handle without wrecking” is the motto. “We cannot handle without wrecking.”

If you could hang around the neck of any preclear that sat on the couch a sign that said, “An example of the terrible value of energy,” you would have diagnosed the case completely. Significances only become significant and only move in on the preclear when he is short of energy.

You are, to some degree, handing off to those things you are trying to direct, the same goal that was handed off to you when people were trying to direct you.

Now, he can create energy, but he’s creating it mostly through bypass machineries. Well, he keeps the machines and they keep working in spite of the fact he doesn’t need them, because they’re built out of energy.

Now, if people tried to be reasonable and decent to you in trying to train you, why, you-if you were working totally stimulus-response-would have a tendency to handle machinery rather decently, to handle people rather decently. See?

Now, you say this preclear can’t reject anything. That’s true. You say this preclear has got to reject everything. Well, you can find something that he can accept in spite of the fact he’s got to reject everything.

But supposing you were trained on the basis of “Well, you can’t go to the movies unless you do so-and-so and furthermore, not only the movies, but if you don’t do so-and-so, we’re going to halfway murder you, we’re going to beat you, we’re going to throw you out the window, we’re going to stamp on you and so forth. You’ve got to learn to put your clothes away, you’ve got to da-da-da-da-da-da-da-yap-yap-yap-yap.” Goal: wreckage. Because what’s the threat? Unless you obey and comprehend, you will be wrecked. So then the individual turns around and those things which he’s trying to run-his own body, the machinery he’s surrounded with, his clothes, his effects, all of these things-rhen he turns around and gives them the goal. “If you don’t obey me, you’re going to be wrecked.”

But more important than that, you can find something he can accept that will start pouring in like mad. What is it? Let’s get a deteriorated rock, a deteriorated piece of Earth or Earth itself or any mass of any kind and then move it as rapidly as possible into the biggest and most dense masses that you possibly can and crowd them in. This is simple auditing, isn’t it? You merely keep the confidence of the preclear by not jarring him and racking him around and you keep tally on what’s happening. And when the flow stops, you can say, “Well, feel a little courage toward it or feel some enjoyment about it.” How much? Three seconds’, five seconds’ worth, just that much, see? That unlocks the flow again and away she goes.

Do I make my point about direction?

But you can also unlock the flow by deteriorating the mass-you know, “worse condition,” “more horrible.”

Now, the fellow who designed the Hearns, Owens and Rentschler engines did a good job, there’s no doubt about that because I’ve driven those engines at flank through attack after attack. No trouble with them at all. The only thing he did wrong was leave too many gadgets hanging out that could be adjusted. And he did that wrong. But he never designed the engine for that kind of use and that the engine would run at all for that kind of use was remarkable anyhow.

Now pay attention, because this week that’s all you’re going to run.

Well, here we have this problem. What emotion, what motive, are individuals relaying on to their environment? It will be that emotion and motive which their early environment laid into them, unless they themselves are capable of stepping above this thing called a stimulus-response mechanism and operating with reason. They can do that so long as they do not feel that if they operate with reason, they will fall immediately foul of pain.

Now, remember that there is a series of unlimited processes, such as Holding the Back Corners of the Room, Six Ways to Nothingness and Opening Procedure. These are unlimited processes. So salt your auditing down here and there with them. But you will err this week in the direction of not running enough havingness. Not in the direction of running enough unlimited process, because we can run unlimited processes on groups and make sure that we throw one in every fifteen minutes or so in Group Processing and that’s enough to rebalance in the boy.

If an individual has been trained to believe that he will be punished, if he employs reasonable measures, he is penalized in the handling of all the people, equipment, environment and very, very particularly, what I’m aiming straight at, are these automatic machines in the bank. And very often, he has been penalized for being reasonable. People around him, bigger than he, have punished him one way or the other for being reasonable.

Now occasionally, when you start running havingness on an individual, you find out that they’re very shaky about what they can have. It’s sometimes necessary to run the next-to-the-last step of Self Analysis on the individual who is that way-a totally occluded case or something.

He said, “Well, the right thing to do is so-and-so and so-and-so” and he’s actually been punished because he dared reason for himself.

You know that you’re actually remedying their havingness with the next-to-the-last step because you’re pulling back out of certain incidents desirable emotion. They find out they could have a past, that’s all it teaches them. Well, you wouldn’t spend too much time on that, you’d get in there and pitch with havingness. Now, let’s just do that.

So we have a penalty about being reasonable, about looking, and so it’s difficult to hand on such a thing as direction to somebody else.

Now, what do you do with an individual that’s exteriorized? Well, you try to run any process on an individual exteriorized rather than interiorized. Anytime you audit somebody, if you can exteriorize him, why, you run him exteriorized. That’s so much better than running him interiorized there’s hardly any comparison. But if you remedy havingness properly, the individual will automatically exteriorize. That’s surprising, isn’t it?

Well, all this would be very sad if we didn’t have a fairly decent remedy for it. One of the ways to get at this is just old Opening Procedure. The only trouble is, in running Opening Procedure, the atmosphere of the processing is normally that of play, you might say, or it’s something-it is not serious. It lacks the pressure and the duress and so itself doesn’t restimulate the stimulus-response mechanisms. But we don’t actually want anything to do with these stimulus-response mechanisms. Hell with them.

The only thing that’s keeping him in is tight lines. And the only reason the lines are tight are because they are made out of energy and he can’t have enough energy, so he’s tightened up the lines. And he’s actually bleeding the energy out of the residual tension lines between himself and the body. And so the lines are tight, so you get the “yo-yo effect.” Out he goes, in he goes, out he goes, in he goes. If he goes out, he snaps back in instantly so fast that he really doesn’t know he was out. You’ll see a fellow being thoughtful about it for a second, even the worst case you ever processed. You say, “Be three feet back of your head,” he’ll be thoughtful about it for a second. He was out and in, but, by golly, the second he did, why, it just released a little tiny bit of energy and he just drank that up. All right.

So we have two choices: we can string that line from C to E directly or we can try to put the fellow’s bank back together again-one or the other. Well, it usually winds up with a case that we do both-generally we do both.

An individual who is very occluded can have blackness of various kinds. They can, they can have blackness. They can have various things. But if you go on the basis now-you see, Dianetics worked, when it worked, on knocking the significance out of the existing energy. And so the guy was in better shape because he had the significance gone from the existing energy, plus the fact that you were actually, when you ran an engram eight times, you were actually mocking it up eight times. So you gave him some more energy, see? But when you ran it the other way on the postulate of “get rid of it” and all that sort of thing and you permitted him to just sit there and eat up his ridges and so on, why, he’d get worse.

My belief is that any preclear who is hanging fire, to any great degree, has had an enormous amount of trouble in this lifetime with this thing of direction. Two things have happened: He has been given direction under pain, he’s been given directions consistently and continually with pain, duress. Or, on the other side of it, he has given orders for which he has become sorry. He has given orders which caused pain.

All right. Even the most desperately occluded case you ever ran into has got some level of acceptance of havingness. It’s up to you to find out what that is. You have to go a long way south sometimes with an individual and you have to start in sometimes with very insignificant things. Get something he is very certain that he can have and he’s quite certain he can have and start the ball rolling. Think of something else he’s certain he can have.

If you ever want to see a man in terrible condition, get a wartime bomber dispatcher. The fellow who signed them up to go out. And that fellow’s orders, of course, inevitably resulted in some sort of chaos and death, danger, upset.

And if he’s very occluded, some black object will start and you will start rolling and you will get “snap-in.” Now, this manifestation of “automatic run” is something you’d better pay attention to because you just start the machine up-the preclear is starring the machine up and it runs in on him like wildfire.

So, when we have a problem with a preclear, it’s a problem with his postulates. And a preclear is as well-off as his postulates can be effective upon him.

Now, there is the occasional case who does a rejection first before you can get into the havingness and if all else fails and if you actually can get nothing to snap in-you remember that-if you can get nothing to snap in, why, you get something to snap out. And only let it snap out long enough till you can get something to snap in. We’re going to beef this boy up to a point where he can own the universe again.

Lots of remedies for this sort of thing. I’m giving you this little talk this morning on this subject, just so you can reclarify, through all of the technical information you have, what your actual goal is with an individual. It’s make his postulates positive with him, under his own self-determinism, so he does not necessarily either have to obey himself or not obey.

Now, this is an interesting thing: The individual who most hates life is the most starved for it. The individual who most hates the MEST universe has the greatest appetite for it. An individual’s conflict in interpersonal relations is totally involved with havingness. He feels that the mere existence of other life forms will prevent him from having something.

Many people are afraid to make postulates, by the way, because they are immediately taken up. He immediately obeys them. He says, “I don’t know, but I’m probably going to be sick about two o’clock” and he is. These people are frightened of the tremendous effectiveness of their own postulates, they’re very afraid of these things.

I ran into a lady a couple of weeks ago, made an interesting little case history for you. She didn’t like Arizona. And this was so strange and peculiar at this season of the year that I said, “Why don’t you like ...” (she didn’t know me from anybody) and I said, “Well, why don’t you like Arizona? What’s the matter?”

Therefore, in Opening Procedure and other processes, you should put very heavy weight on this particular facet, very heavy weight on making the man make a postulate.

Well, yap-yap-yap and she starts in with the people and so on and so on.

Now, there’s a little trick in Opening Procedure we have not used yet, and which I recommend to you, is the making of security postulates. This individual that we’re processing probably has the feeling that if he makes a postulate that’s quite actual, then it will come about for the worst. So we can use all sorts of mechanisms here to disabuse him of this.

And I said, “Well those-see those mountains out there?”

We can say, “All right. Now, let’s get some sort of a postulate that you could make now that would apply to this immediate environment that would be a safe postulate to make or a safe statement to make, a safe prediction to make about this room in the next thirty seconds” and go on from there.

“Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah” and sort of wincing and a little bit of flinching and so forth.

For instance, “If I stand over in that corner, the ceiling will not fall on my head.” “All right. I can say, ‘The ceiling will now fall on my head the moment I touch this table.’” And he finds out that doesn’t happen.

And I said, “What’s the matter with them?”

Such mechanisms give a person considerable freedom. But remember your goal is to make his postulates more effective, not less effective. So don’t just keep breaking a person’s postulates, that is to say, make him make postulates that don’t come true. Have him make postulates that do come true. And this of all others is the most effective of the processes, the postulates which do come true.

And she says, “Well, there’s snakes in them.”

He says, “That ashtray is going to be at the other side of that table about thirty seconds from now.” Then he reaches over and moves it over to the end of the table.

I said, “Well, can you get pictures when you look at things?”

“This beer bottle cap is going to be exteriorized from underneath that hat-and this is the most important of them, exteriorization-interiorization postulates-it will be out from underneath that hat in another ten seconds.” Bang. And he moves it out. See, make it come true rather than the other way.

She said, “Yes.”

There are lots of mechanisms that we could get him over the hump of this horrible feeling that something horrible is going to happen if he makes a postulate-exteriorization-interiorization postulates.

“Well, why don’t you cover them with snakes. Oh, lots of snakes. Lots more snakes. Lots more snakes.” “Now,” I said, “now throw a lot of mountains out there, a lot more mountains, a lot more mountains.”

Now, there’s another one which doesn’t particularly conduce a quiet atmosphere, merely because it moves people around, but there’s this one: people are going to go in and out of rooms and houses-“Exteriorize yourself out of this house.”

She says, “What are we doing?”

Fellow does, he takes himself out on the street, see.

I said, “I don’t know. How do you feel?”

“Now interiorize yourself into this room or house” and he does.

She said, “Feel all right.”

“Exteriorize yourself,” “interiorize yourself,” “exteriorize yourself.”

And I said, “How do you like Arizona?”

It’s very interesting. Your preclear’s liable to pass-if he’s having difficulty with his case, he’s liable to practically pass out on his feet doing this.

She says, “It’s wonderful.” [laughter]

It’s not a light process for a heavy case. It’s a light process for any case that’s in good shape, just as any process is light for such a case. The very heavy case that’s having difficulty, this is one of the damnedest processes that ever came up.

She didn’t even know that the process and what I’d asked her to do had any connection with her change of feeling and didn’t even know that her feelings had changed radically. That’s Homo sapiens walking around in a fog.

Exteriorization-interiorization, prediction and when. “Now tell yourself to move yourself out into the street and tell yourself when to.”

Therefore, you should keep your eye on this in running havingness-this one particularly-is that a planet or a star are important havingness and a body is only slightly important connected with them. And a body is only as important as it is dense, no more important than it is dense.

Out he goes, in he goes. So you’d start out at first just using, oh, a hat and the beer bottle cap and you’d finish up by moving him physically. He’d move his body in and out of the house.

Papa is no more important than he is dense. Mama is no more important than the mass she occupies. Your preclear has weight and is unable to regulate his size and density and weight just to the degree that he can’t have.

You’d be quite amazed, I’ve had a preclear just stand in front of the door, still inside the house-all he has to do is reach forward and open the door and move outside-and just have him stand there paralyzed, you know, unwilling to touch that doorknob. He’s dramatizing 100 percent, exteriorization prohibitions.

Now, when you start in materializing something, if you have a tremendous appetite for it, it’s going to soak into you and your bank before you can perceive it. And this is what is happening with a Step V. He gets the mock-up. If you ran him for a long time on mock-ups, you would eventually find-he would say, "You know, I get them there for just a second now.” Well, the only trouble is you’re not asking him to mock-up anything that’s on an acceptance level, so it takes quite a while to do.

People have prevented him from being exteriorized for so doggone long and the motto “You will be interiorized” has been carried forward so thoroughly by armed services, the family, Mama, school and so forth that he daren’t move himself out anymore. You’ll every once in a while run into a preclear who can’t go out of the house or can’t get more than a few blocks from a house. This is very common. This is merely an exteriorization-interiorization problem which is one of the key problems which we have.

So let’s get some kind of an acceptable mass which he can recognize and actually bring in upon himself.

Well now, an individual who is wrecking or damaging things by postulates when he exteriorizes himself or interiorizes himself is liable to ruin some of his machinery-mess things up, run into postulates he shouldn’t, go around and do things which he feels would be very destructive.

Now, when I say "automatic flow,” I mean that. The individual who is running this right is getting a constant, continuous, horrendousflood of planets, stars, comets-anything else you want. Getting a terrific flood of these things: in on his body, in on a vacuum point, in on himself as a thetan. You don’t happen to give a doggone what they’re coming in on. Run him exteriorized if possible. Snap the masses in on him while he’s exteriorized if possible. But if they are pouring into the body, let them pour.

See this now? The postulate exteriorization-interiorization-when I’m going to do it, how I’m going to do it and then do it.

Now, you’re going to find the five, six, eight, ten horrible experiences of the preclear will show up in this process. If you detour to listen to a long story about these things, you’re wasting your time and your effectiveness. It’s much more fun to go on and see the incidents blow into something enjoyable, without even your preclear mocking-up enjoyment of them. They do with the most horrible things.

Well, if everything he tells himself to do results in ruin, he, of course, is going to get into a wonderful situation with regard to exteriorization and operation of the thetan because he’s going to make himself do things wrong in such a way as to inhibit further free exteriorization-interiorization.

This fellow says, "Well, I was in this automobile accident and-and my wife lost both of her legs and a child was killed and so forth and-and my life has never been the same since.” Well, you could sit there and be sympathetic and pat his hand-if you couldn’t do anything effective!

And an auditor who is having trouble with exteriorization-interiorization is liable to get somebody who is exteriorized and make him do things which will pin him again. Not for any other motive than that the stimulus-response cycle must end up in wreckage. “We’re going to wreck you unless you obey,” you see? That’s the goal: wreckage. How do you solve this?

Well, it’s a funny thing that mocking-up large masses of planets will suddenly blow this incident. And he could say, "Well, it sure was dramatic” and go on to something else.

Sounds very silly, by the way, but there is a process which is quite simple-you have the process: End of Cycle. End of Cycle with wreckage. End of Cycle with somebody beaten to dust. End of Cycle with somebody cracked up and crushed and crashed and so forth. This is End of Cycle Processing. Wreckage. You can run a lot of that on a preclear.

Or he can even get the idea that it was rather enjoyable really.

Okay. Now your next point here, some more of these particles. You know there are an awful lot of these little teams of particles of one kind and another. We’ve been hitting with courage a very high spot because it graduates very abruptly and quickly immediately into serenity.

How do you expect anybody to materialize anything or to materialize any particle of MEST energy or to mock anything up if he’s so starved for it that the second he puts up • anything it just simply snaps in on him? He’s not going to do it, is he?

But there are lots of these particles. I’ve mentioned nobility and so forth. It’s very interesting but more an academic exercise than anything else to team these up and show the bridge of consequence. That is to say, the consequence to courage is cowardice across the bridge of pain and so on.

How do you expect anybody to levitate or be able to lighten himself or pick himself up or move objects when every single concentrated effort that he is making is to get enough sustenance or substance out of Earth? So he keeps his body and objects pinned right straight to Earth. This in itself is the mechanism known as "gravity.” Appetite, gravity-same thing. A hunger for Earth.

Now, there’s another one of these that peculiarly enough will very often take precedent over courage. It is not a more important particle than courage, but it very often will. Now, I mentioned to you last Friday that there were a lot of preclears around who wouldn’t give you satisfaction as an auditor, by doing what you were supposed to do.

All right. This individual tells you that he can’t survive and so forth and he’s off on the lowest part of the band-sex-and he’s having an awful time and his certainties are terribly poor and all kinds of things are very unreal and so forth. Doggone it! Unreality itself is a lack of mass!

Well now, let’s again-let’s take this into postulates and what do we find? We find in postulates that if the individual had obeyed every time he was ordered, Mama would have been right and Mama mustn’t be right, Mama has to be wrong. So we get into this horrible situation that the individual cannot obey an order without giving satisfaction to somebody else who would wreck him. See that? He just can’t obey an order, no matter how simple it is, without giving somebody satisfaction and his entire defense and existence is not to give satisfaction about anything. This goes immediately into eating. Not giving satisfaction is refusing to be eaten-matter of fact, not giving enjoyment, refusal to give enjoyment, refusal to give satisfaction, all the same thing. Now, people know this particle by enjoyment. It’s slight past tense, you know, a little more past tense than enjoyment is satisfaction.

Now, we say “the individual doesn’t have enough space.” Well okay, space is the third thing you would run, mass is the first one. A guy, of course, can’t have space if he’s trying to make everything dense in order to answer up to a perceived appetite. See? He just isn’t going to look at energy flowing, or motion, until he gets his masses straightened out. Now, when he got his masses straightened out, then we can straighten out motion and we got his motion straightened out, then we can straighten out space. And then he can have space, after he’s remedied all these other things.

An Operating Thetan should be able to mock this particle up in tremendous quantity. And a preclear who still hangs fire when you are working Courage Processing-he can’t get it easily—should be shifted over to enjoyment, mocking-up enjoyment. He refuses to give enjoyment or satisfaction to himself or anybody else and so he’s not happy. Now, right along with that, have him waste pain and then run some more enjoyment and then run some courage and then have him waste some pain, in brackets, you know, and then have him run enjoyment in brackets.

Now, he has to be able to get this stuff in tremendous quantities and get it until the automatic machinery quits entirely, until it’s just absolutely dead. And then you make him pick up a lot more masses and only then have him move them in. And then you have him duplicate the action of the automatic machinery, then you start and find out something that he can get rid of.

He’s going to find out something. He’s going to find out something he doesn’t know: that there’s no part of life and no action in life that is not in itself personally enjoyable. Not enjoyable to somebody somewhere but personally enjoyable. There is no experience which is not personally enjoyable. Getting killed, raped, ruined, operated on, anything has in it enjoyment.

Well, if he can’t get rid of anything at that point, if he still can’t throw anything away, start it all up again and run it all the way through again until he can finally pick up a planet and throw it away. Till he can pick up a lot of masses and throw them away. And then is the time to stop processing mass: when he can throw anything he wants to away and get anything he wants to back. His reality, then, will be up. His reality will never be up until he can throw something away-until he has an adequate mass.

Now, this is another one of these solvent particles: it starts blowing down ridges. The solvent, of course, really is life. There is nothing that resolves livingness better than livingness itself. It’s just a little bit difficult to look at a preclear and tell him to put all this into one package, this thing called “life.”

Your next problem, of course, is to give him adequate action. And the next problem after that is adequate space. Spacation actually belongs after havingness and doingness have been very thoroughly worked over.

But I’ll tell you what happens to a preclear who cannot experience enjoyment. A very vicious thing goes on in his bank-very, very, very, very bad for him. And that is, he gets to the feeling that life being a dog-eat-dog proposition and all being for the body and the body is edible and all that sort of thing, he gets to the situation where he doesn’t believe that he will be able to enjoy life unless the entire planet of Earth has been depopulated of all kinds of life. At that moment, he will be able to enjoy life. That is dramatized by the nuclear physicist and is the mechanism behind the atom bomb and why me and my fellow classmates never got along.

How do you do doingness? Well, it just sort of follows as a very interesting easy thing after you’ve got havingness remedied, because doingness requires a certain amount of used energy. So you have the preclear having mock-ups doing this and mock-ups doing that and so forth. That’s about all there is to it.

Now, this isn’t just an observation on existence. If it didn’t fit in here with technique, I would never be mentioning it to you. But our problem with a preclear is that the truth that he enjoys living always overrides this other computation that life is detestable and he must destroy it.

But after you’ve remedied havingness, the individual is going to be able to exteriorize. But he’ll be able to exteriorize best when you’ve remedied objects and space. You can even neglect doing this.

And your individual may be operating on a basis of he wants to help people, he wants to help himself, he wants to do things. He’s operating on a very reasonable rationale and lying underneath of that is this bear trap, this stimulus-response bear trap: the actual computation that he cannot enjoy life unless all life is dead. He could enjoy Earth if only fewere the resident thereof. And that is the “only one” computation which you make more and more acquaintance with. An individual withdraws and withdraws and withdraws and withdraws until, at length, he is the “only one.” He’s been forced to take on more responsibility than he should have taken on, on a fault-blame proposition and then draws back to a point where he’s the only one who can take care of things and then he’s the only one who can take care of himself and he’s just divorced himself from the human race.

Now, there is your process. And it’s a process I want to see you doing, I want you to get experienced with this process. And I don’t want you to go deviating in any direction whatsoever to look for any significance under the sun about anything. And I don’t want you to go beating around the brush, getting a long sad story out of the preclear, when you ought to be sitting there auditing havingness.

Well, this individual has. And under this underlying computation-it’s routine, I mean, it’s just nothing strange or rare, it belongs right on the curve of he gets to the point where all life must be destroyed before he can live. And that stems out of an absence of the particle called “enjoyment.”

And when the preclear says, “There’s a stuck facsimile right in front of me,” I want you to have enough judgment as to when to hit it and when not to. And what do you do if you hit it? “Put it up there three more times.” “Now mock-up some more planets.” Because if you just went on mocking-up planets, stars, comets and other things inflowing-you just kept it up and you ignored that facsimile, it would eventually blow up of its own accord. He’d suddenly say, “Boom! That’s very strange and peculiar, it’s just blown up.”

When an individual depends on eating for enjoyment, for instance, when he depends on other things to furnish him with this particle called enjoyment, he gets to a point of dependency where he expects the world to present him with enjoyment of living on a silver platter. And the only one that can mock it up is himself. So he’s turned over to his automaticities-and has then wrecked them, as he has other types of machines-this business of enjoyment. And so he loses the particle. And he does not realize that there is no experience anywhere in the firmament which is not in itself enjoyable.

Now, when things slow down and so forth, sometimes you ask him “Run a little enjoyment toward them” or “a little courage toward them,” it suddenly loosens it up. Now, there’s where you use the solvent and that’s why I wanted you to be very acquainted with this solvent and its thoroughness. Running a little admiration toward it is less effective. All right.

That sounds-would sound to almost anybody to be a very wild, embracive statement: that there is nothing that is not enjoyable.

I don’t want you to make a mistake about this. Because you could run all over the heavens and Earth looking for significances and the deepness and the backness of beyondness of all of this, without getting anywhere.

The difference between an individual with stage fright and an individual who is an accomplished actor is whether or not the person enjoys acting. The difference between imagination and fact or symbols is enjoyment. You’d look for a lot of things before you’d realize that particle, apparently non sequitur, is the bridge particle from laughter to seriousness, but more importantly, from poise to stage fright. It is the basic particle of competence and it’s a bridge particle. It belongs in there with courage.

Now, I’ve given you the edge in. That is to say, we have the road with communication, understanding of duplication, the fitting of the dynamics; Certainty Processing; and the use and handling of these solvents; and that time is stuck together-two particles stuck together, or two particles stuck apart is a freeze in time. We have this as a background now and if you want this stuff to all integrate and become very easy now, from the beginning of this next-to-the-last week here, let’s just bust loose with havingness and roll. And let’s get good at this. Let’s get real good at this: Getting a preclear to find something he can have or telling him to put something there and then deteriorate it till it snaps in. And the latter is, of course, what you will have to do anyhow.

Now, I gave you courage and let you knock courage around and you found out it worked. Well, actually, courage is more efficacious in terms of plowing through effort, ridges and so forth and is a senior particle. But if you don’t pay some attention now to this other particle, enjoyment, why, your cases that are hanging up, will hang up. They won’t give satisfaction. Well, that goes into recovery. They wouldn’t give you the enjoyment of letting them recover. And they very often don’t suspect they’re doing this.

He’s got some kind of an automaticity that’s going to feed him dense masses, it’ll feed it to him. Well, you set that loose and let her run.

Well now, let’s find out what happens to somebody’s imagination-we commented on this some time before-but imagination invests itself into symbols. An individual is constantly investing imagination into symbols. You might say imagination is sort of a raw material which he’s then pushing into significances and compressing and he gets symbols.

The handling of a preclear does not so much depend upon the preclear’s confidence in you. It depends upon your ability to give orders and have them be carried out without a hitch. Your ability to give an order and then have it carried out before you give a second order.

Somebody creating a body and animating it or granting life to something is still investing imagination. Well, the funny part of imagination is-an investment in symbols-is there isn’t, at this time, any technique that bridges it, just as such. You just can’t suddenly up and run “imagination going into symbols” and expect your preclear to do anything. And he won’t.

Now, do you know why your preclear’s postulate machine is jammed? It’s because he and others have given so many orders before the ones earlier than those orders could be carried out, that the machinery itself is jammed.

There’s another one like this, by the way, there’s one that’s perfect. It’s “When I reach they won’t withdraw” and “When they reach I can’t withdraw” or “When they reach I must withdraw.” This type of a computation can turn on some of the heaviest effort you ever saw on a case, but isn’t efficacious. It doesn’t work. It’s a technique which directly robs an individual of what masses of havingness he has. See, I mean, it’s just a direct robbery. It would tear ridges to pieces faster than anything else you ever saw. “I withdraw while they reach.” “They won’t withdraw while I’m reaching.” Any such combination will just rip ridges to pieces, reduces a person’s havingness too much.

Papa was a bad Papa, not if he punished and laid it on the line, but if he said, “Now, go clean up the backyard.” And the second you put your hand on a piece of wood or something to clean up the backyard, he says, “No, I think you had better get the rake to the front yard.” “No, why don’t you ...”

Well, you see, there is no finite quantity of imagination. When an individual begins to believe that he doesn’t enjoy doing this anymore and so he stops imagining things, so he runs out of his own imagination, you see, just by stopping imagining. And after that he holds on to the symbols he has because he can’t create more and there is the entrance into that creation cycle, that labyrinth of computation known as creativeness. Creative writing, creative living, all that sort of thing and that labyrinth is entered by this: the individual is dependent upon the environment to give him enjoyment. He has demanded of the sunset that he enjoy it, because it says to. The particle of enjoyment, he believes, is in the sunset. It is not, it is in himself. And when he ceases to put it there, he runs fresh out.

And then Mama came out and said, “Why don’t you run down to the store for me.”

Now, he’s probably run into people who are on a manic on enjoyment. Somebody has got an automatic machine of enjoyment running like mad and they have done things that were very harmful to him which they enjoyed a great deal. And therefore, he’s begun to believe that the particle enjoyment is disgusting or something. He has a lot of computations on it and he’s, of course, checked himself out of the land of the living the moment he did this.

And the kid never got a chance to complete an action cycle of work because franticness about orders and directions on the part of his parents-they couldn’t give directions and they couldn’t give orders.

And there is your make-break point. Just as an individual slides inexorably into pain when he ceases to mock-up courage, so does an individual slide immediately into a detestation of the entire universe and the computation that he must be the “only one,” by deleting all other life through refusing anymore to mock-up the particle called “enjoyment.” It’s mocked-up and handled like any other particle.

There have been parents that have been tougher than whang leather who have turned out perfectly fine children-because they were a terrific certainty, those parents were. When they said something was to be done or something of the sort, they would inexorably go through and see that it was executed. They were interested in execution. And there was a certainty there.

Admiration, by the way, is junior to these particles. It’s junior to enjoyment and courage is senior. Enjoyment, probably, if you were drawing a gradient scale, would belong way above admiration and just below courage and it would belong above nobility. All right?

But the parent who scatterbrainedly tells the kid one thing and then tells the kid another thing and no orders ever get a chance to be carried out, puts an individual in the condition that he can’t complete his own cycles-of-action.

What’s boil-off? Now we’ve brought you far enough along here now on a lot of things-what’s this thing called boil-off? Why does your preclear dope-off, why does he go anaten and so on? This is a problem of havingness, is only a problem of havingness and is a problem of reality itself Havingness is reality, to a large degree, and it is remedied by what he can accept and what he can reject. You’re making him reject things which he feels he can’t reject by running techniques which bypass his understanding and so rob him. And then you get his havingness down and he responds by going anaten. Very mechanical. Preclear starts to dope-off or his reality starts to cut down, why, you can be pretty sure that you have tapped a reservoir of havingness which you’d better replace.

Well, don’t let this sneak up on you as an auditor. Don’t, don’t. Just make sure that that cycle-of-action is carried out-make sure that it’s carried out. I£ the preclear simply cawVdo it, don’t abandon it, simply modify it. He doesn’t object to a modification, but he objects to an abandonment.

Now, the odd part of it is that as an individual is coming up from the very low ranges, this is routine. He starts to boil-off, get dopey, things get unreal, you patch up his havingness. Then you give him some other of the same kind of process that you were giving before and then he starts to dope-off and get unreal and you patch up his havingness. And then you give him some more of the same kind of a process you gave him before and that works for a little while and so on.

And if your preclear is boiling-off under the process of havingness, there’s something kind of funny going on with regard to the things he’s getting. He’s either altering them in some way and not telling you what he’s doing or he’s off on another process. But bringing in large masses of things will occasionally itself do a reverse boil-off.

You’re starting to change his ridge pattern. What are you doing? You’re exchanging masses of energy which have no significance for those he had which were masses of energy with significance. He wanted the mass of energy in spite of the significance. If it was energy, he would have it and its significance too. But he would much rather have masses of energy without any significance in them. And what you’re doing with processes is stripping the bank of its significances and giving him back-if you process to restore his havingness and so forth-you’re giving him back masses of energy which are minimally significant. You’ll find your preclear, sooner or later, gets up to the point where he can simply mock-up masses of energy which don’t have any significance in them. And they will become acceptable to him if they have no significance in them.

Actually, you’ll see some blow into view and go on out again. You’ll occasionally see this happen. But that is not routine. You’re sort of running the track backwards on the boy.

You can have him mock-up big globs of energy and on the basis that there’s no significance in them at all, have them snap in on him rapidly, fast, make him feel very good. See that? Well now, our routine of Courage Processing is essentially the same routine that you would use on enjoyment. You would use enjoyment as a particle in there in connection with courage. Nothing much to that. And you would keep very alert for this boil-off, anaten proposition, because you’d realize that you were running into less havingness and you were stripping away some kinds o£ havingness of the preclear which he needed.

Havingness. What can the preclear have? Well, this goes in with acceptance level: it’s what can he accept. But that ties in with something else. That ties in with what will his machinery feed him? And uniformly his machinery will pour it in on him like an avalanche. And what you’re trying to start with a preclear is this avalanche, in terms of heavy masses. And you fish around and deteriorate masses and bring them back up again and so forth until you get it started real good.

This is nothing to fight away from, by the way. It’s inevitable that he will go in and out of these as he comes on up the line. Just don’t let him go out so far that he will suddenly start snapping in large masses of energy which have lots of significance in them, because you’ll have an individual on your hands who has electronics in restimulation, who has somatics, who will get colds and so forth. You see that?

Now, don’t you be worried about making the preclear pour it in on himself, because it’s right there ready to pour. He’s braced against it in some fashion. You shake that brace loose.

You say, “Well, we don’t want him to boil-off.”

Several ways to do it. One of the ways to do it: he’s trying to pull in and so you have him be courageous about it and then go right on with Havingness Processing. And you see this now? Courage Processing, as itself, will cut havingness to ribbons.

Well no, we don’t want him to go into a long sleep and that sort of thing. But when a fellow is starting to dope-off while you’re running any process, restore his havingness a bit.

All right. You’re sure of that now, let’s see that it’s a solvent. And then let’s start rolling.

Now, here’s another funny one with regard to havingness. Do you know that most people fight against having Earth. And they will give you one of the most remarkable dissertations on the subject of having MEST itself and so on, they don’t want it-they say. It’s tremendously valuable. You go through that band, you’ll find out that’s what they do want. They want Earth, but they feel they can’t have it, that other life forms are denying them Earth. And therefore, the remedy of havingness of Earth, the Sun and the Moon is quite important to your preclear. The havingness of Earth, the Sun and the Moon.

One of the first processes I told you about, in one of the earliest lectures I made to this Unit, I have talked about consistently ever since-havingness.

You have to get these into an acceptable condition where they can be accepted and then get them into a condition where they can be rejected. And you’ll find out that he has a starvation for Earth, which is in itself the manifestation he’s experiencing called “gravity.” That’s a starvation for mass. You want somebody to levitate and you don’t have anybody resolved on his havingness of Earth, why, he doesn’t levitate of course. And if you solve this, why, Lord knows what’ll happen to your preclear, but ... See that?

I audited one of you here for about an hour just before lunch, who was all griefy and upset and so forth.

Now, there’s a funny one that shows up occasionally in this. You’ll find many people are stuck on the time track in the earlier centuries on the subject of Earth. You see they have no visual proof that Earth is spherical or solid and the early yap-yap on this subject is that Earth was flat. And you’ll find out that many a preclear thoroughly believes Earth to be thoroughly flat. It’s cute, isn’t it? I mean he believes Earth as a mass is flat. He believes that if he dived under the ground and so on, deeper than six feet or eight feet or something like that, he’d just exteriorize out the back side and he would be elsewhere and that there’s another world and so forth.

[to student] Why don’t you say what happened?

Edgar Rice Burroughs went into this considerably. There is supposed to be an entire life-type and society and so forth that lived inside Earth, Earth being a shell. Well, the funny part of it is that your individual gets this and if he has this solidly enough and this is his installed manufactury of Earth itself, Earth for him is flat, he’s never put in the other particles. It’s flat. He could exteriorize straight down quicker than he could exteriorize up.

Female voice: Oh, it was like a miracle.

This is one of the first times when you find reality suddenly creaking a litde bit. This is real cute, He’s never put these particles in. His automatic machinery doesn’t put Earth together that way. It puts Earth together as a slab.

Okay. What happened? Just give it over, check it over and say what happened there in the process-exactly what was run, how was it run?

Well now, being buried six feet into the ground has confirmed this quite often. People don’t mind being buried by the way, they say they do, but they don’t. It gives them a lot of Earth, an awful lot of mass there.

Female voice: Well, when Ifirst went in there, of course, I was in tears and utter state of collapse, could hardly talk, could hardly breathe. Andi told you I had run the postulate that only L. Ron Hubbard can save me. And I’d thought Ed gotten rid of that, but, anyway, I came in and asked you for help and you started running me on Havingness.

Well now, a very routine endeavor for your Operating Thetan is exteriorizing him into and out of-back and forth, back and forth, back and forth-masses. You take a mountain, interiorize him into the mountain and exteriorize him again and you let him do this, constantly and consistently and continually, in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out. Interiorize him and exteriorize him from Earth and the Sun and so on. Out and in, out and in, out and in, out and in, and you’ll find out that he is rather slow at it at first and draggy, but he will pick this up rather rapidly and speed comes up on it.

And how did I do that?

But remember that you’re stripping away his havingness when you’re doing this, so after you’ve got through doing it, have him mock-up lots of anchor points and snap them in on himself. You’ve taken away energy from him which had significance and given him back energy which doesn’t have any significance and he wants the energy with no significance.

Female voice: Well, at first you had me put out Mother and bring her in, it was definite specific objects. And then a mother in the house, childhood home and then Mother in a nun’sgarb because there was a nun creeping in there.

All right. Now there’s an exteriorization process which if followed on a very rough case or on a very easy case is a very fast process. That is, you get him to get a dot of light-you run him, Opening Procedure exteriorization-interiorization into a hat and so forth-and then you have him put a dot of light into a mountain or put a body into a mountain or whatever else he picks up and exteriorize it and interiorize it and exteriorize it and interiorize it and exteriorize it and interiorize it and exteriorize it and interiorize it and he will finally get over the jumps about exteriorization. But every time you do this, you’re going to take havingness away from him. So you just have him take this mock-up or spot of light or a black body or anything he can get-but remember he can almost always get a black body and move it around-you take this and move him in and out and then you restore his havingness.

Um-hm.

See, you don’t move your preclear in and out of his head and move your preclear in and out of the mountain. You have him mock-up something and move it in and out of the mountain.

Female voice: And brought that in and then you asked me to accept an Earth. And I couldn't and you had me deteriorate it till it was just a little wisp of vapor floating around someplace and I took in the Earth that way and it kept materializing and becoming better and better and finally I could take in a whole beautiful Earth and it just kept bombarding me just like a terrific explosion and stream. And then you had me with planets and stars and then these facsimiles kept sticking there and you told me to put that up a couple of times- there were two in particular I couldn't get rid of. And the stars and the planets would come right through these facsimiles and finally one blew. And you did let me talk for about thirty seconds because I had to get my story in, with my glint of pride, you know, about what had happened to me was worse than had happened to anyone else.

Now, there’s-much closer to home than the mountain. If the mountain seems very unreal to him, give him a hat and have him move himself in and out of the hat as a concept of beingness. You know, grant his? own beingness to inside the hat and then move that outside of the hat and move it inside of the hat and outside of the hat.

And then you had me go back again and-oh yes, when it stuck, you said, “Well, put a little courage around that incident” and “Now put a little enjoyment around the incident, ” just briefly, couple of seconds, and then we started running some more planets and stars and they turned into big black planets and then silver planets. And well, I startedfeeling more wonderful and more wonderful. And I started getting terrific heat and I just sweatedfrom head to foot, just absolutely running.

But I again repeat, this takes more havingness away from an individual in less time than anything you’d care to front up. So he’ll start into a boil-off, at which time you give him things which are acceptable to him.

And my throat cleared up and well, I just feel like a new person. Just glowing all over, you know.

Now, if you’re exteriorizing and interiorizing him out of a mountain, haying him do that, of course, what begins to be acceptable to him is Earth, so you have him mock-up

Okay, [laughter]

Earth in acceptable forms. If he finds it is a six-foot-through slab, okay. Let’s mock it up that way as long as it’ll snap in on him, but you satisfy his havingness. What’s boil-off? That’s reduced havingness and you have to remedy that. You got it?

Female voice: And I want to thank you because it was really like going from a hell, the depths ofdespair, right up to livingness itself.

Now, the fact of the matter is, of course, these havingnesses aren’t necessary to the individual. They aren’t needful to the individual, but he believes they are and he responds as though they do and they are needful to the GE if the GE is going to operate. So we’d better restore his havingnesses, we better not argue with it. He’s always got less mass than he thinks he ought to have.

Well, good. Thank you.

Now, I’ll tell you a very funny little instance. A fellow I knew went into an area and practically lost his memory. And this was very perplexing to him and everybody else, but he had practically lost his memory. He moved away from the place and didn’t get much better. We traced back to find out that he had gone into an area where he had lost a great many things. He’d lost a wife and he’d lost a car and he’d lost a house in this area. When he moved back into the area, his memory went. Do you see that? Very goofball little manifestation.

Did you notice a slight increase in your reality by the way?

How was this remedied? We just gave him back acceptable forms of those things he had lost and his memory returned. So I repeat, your memory of your preclear on the whole track depends upon the restoration of the havingness which he has lost upon the whole track. The loss of a body, a piece of havingness as intimate as a body, to which he has granted his own beingness is very serious to an individual and therefore he loses his memory of the whole track.

Female voice: Definitely. Everything seemed so unreal before. Now Ifeel like Fve arrived and I’m really here.

Now, do not for a moment suppose that we can just compartment all that off and forget about it. Don’t suppose that this preclear is some kind of a peculiar beast that just because he went through an experience, he thereafter won’t mind the experience and is better off to have forgotten it.

Good. Good.

You had better take your sights off of this lifetime as being the ideal thing and put it on this: the blankout of the whole track is a tremendously serious blow to the ability of the preclear. You could say very easily that 99 and 44/100ths percent of his capabilities are swallowed up in the lost havingnesses of the whole track. And if you want to restore his reality up to the stars, you just get in there and slug on the subject of the particle called “courage” and the particle called “enjoyment” and exteriorization and interiorization and the remedy of havingness of every damn body, wife, dog, cat, husband that he has lost.

This Havingness Process has the effect of bringing somebody to present time simply by making it unnecessary to hold on to all those things that are holding on to past times.

You just better restore them and you’ll find out the most important things are the largest masses. If he lost a battleship one time, boy, that’ll really stick. And if he lost Earth time after time, that really sticks much worse than the battleship. See?

Female voice: Uh-huh.

Remedy of havingness, restoration of reality and memory, these things are all interconnected.

I wouldn’t say that this was a completed process here, in terms of numbers of hours that Havingness could still be run, but a marked change takes place.

Okay.

Now, an auditor doesn’t run this process, occasionally, because he’s dramatizing that he can’t have himself and it’s about the only threat the process has-about the only threat it has. Because the simplicity, actually, in making something deteriorate or shaking it up a little bit or run some courage at it or throw in a couple of more-a purple planet comes in suddenly or something of the sort, throw a couple of more purple planets in or run some purple planets in, anything like that, and that automaticity will go by the boards.

Well, we want to get this avalanche started and it’s a real avalanche. It works. It works even if you-preclear simply reaches out and pulls them in on himself. I mean, you don’t have to have it happening automatically, you understand, it will work any way that you remedy the havingness.

Now, I remedied another case, not too long ago, by having him “move into” so he could exteriorize “out of” a sofa. And the guy got into the sofa and said “Oh, boy.” And I suddenly realized-I hadn’t realized before where this case was on the Tone Scale, because I was working the case just very-rather quickly and that was sure an index. “Oh, boy! A sofa-nice mass-you know, oh, beautiful, beautiful mass.” Here we go.

So by the time we got through, we had wrapped all the furniture in town around him and then all the Earths we could possibly get on him and then all the Suns that we could make him mock-up and all these things got conjoined together in a great big mass and he started decorating it with Christmas tree ornaments. Well, this was a valuable mass, real pretty. Needed more mass run at the time I parted with the case. The case entirely changed complexion, however.

Okay. I don’t have very much to add to that. The woof and the warp and pattern and plan with what we’re dealing here-you’ve got an awful lot of background here now. You should know what an automaticity is. Now it’s time for you to learn about the birds and the bees.

And that is that any mass is a good mass, as long as it’s mass, as long as it’s mass, as long as it-zz/$&, slurp.

Now, a person has been taught carefully that he doesn’t own the Earth. There are even cliches about this, you see, and so on. It’s the only way you could keep a slave a slave.

You see, the fellow who really owns the Earth won’t manage it. It doesn’t need managing if he owns it. He owns it as it is and is interested in watching it as it does.

People only start madly hashing existence apart when they can’t have existence. Okay?

I say the only real error you could make in auditing is just to fail to follow through on an order. You tell the preclear, “All right, now let’s get a mock-up of Earth.” And he says, “I can’t.” You don’t at that moment tell him to grab the two anchor points at the back of the room.

You say, “All right. Get a mock-up of a-well, can you get a mock-up of an apple?”

“Well, yeah. Maybe.”

“Well, how about a wormy apple?”

Yeah! Yeah, one thats half eaten. I can get a wormy, half-eaten apple with a worm in it. With a worm bit half in two in it.” What’s worse than a worm in an apple? A half a worm in an apple, of course.

And so, the order is changed, you see, on a very gradient scale—you don’t give him a failure. If you keep giving him loses, why, he’ll get into real foul condition, if you keep giving him loses. So, pile it to him on that.

You can cut a communication line with a preclear, by the way, by seeming to be completely unsympathetic with what they’re trying to communicate to you. And you can also cut an auditing session to ribbons by letting the preclear talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. One of the biggest problems an auditor has is the communication problem with the preclear, whereby the preclear won’t communicate enough or the preclear communicates too much and either one of them impede auditing.

Now, where we have a aberree, we got a guy that “ain’t got.” And the way to fix him up is to fix him up so he can have. And not only so that he can just have these large masses and keep them, but so he can have these large masses ... I hate to tell you this, but since we’re going for Operating Thetan, it’s very funny to come up with a technique which apparently is a technique that would go for way downscale. He better have full memory of his track, folks. And this is the way you give it back to him.

I don’t say that you will suddenly turn up with a full memory of your track, because it’s very possible that your auditor won’t audit you that long, because it takes a lot of mass. But remember that it’s mass. It is not the kind of mass, it is mass. The biggest and mostest masses and the fastest return into the individual of these masses is our goal.

When I said in The Factors that beauty and ugliness were matters of consideration, that bad and good were matters of consideration, I wasn’t writing lightly. It’s demonstrable that these things are matters of consideration, because any mass is desirable. There is no such thing as a bad mass-not to a thetan. I don’t care what it is.

Now, he gets into a very nicely trained pattern whereby his criteria and his play is calling for the role that in this role we must consider disease bad, disease is now bad in this role. Okay, disease is bad. That’s just a little temporary rule of the game.

Resistances, people becoming what they resist and that sort of thing, is on this matter of consideration, “I mustn’t become that because that’s bad” and so forth.

Well, what’s happened? The fellow’s been denied all the mass of which that thing consisted. See, “You can’t have that because that’s bad.” Well, that means you can’t have that mass. Any sensation is better than no sensation. Any mass is better than no mass, any space is better than no space and here we go.

Well, after you’ve remedied mass, we can talk some more about it. But I don’t think there’s anything that you will fall over or trip into now which will exceed the pound, pound, pound that I have been doing on these fundamentals.

Automaticity. What’s an automaticity? So as we run this thing, the fellow starts to flip-flop around-you know, he’s getting frantic, he’s getting frantic-you know where he’s slid to: he’s slid off the courage band down into the fear band, just as easy as pie, that’s where he is.

And fear of what? Fear of loss of control of the body as he runs this. Well, so you make the body do the flip-flops. You just have him mock-up the body doing flip-flops or make the body sitting right there do flip-flops-out of control flip-flops. Where he all of a sudden gets these things that are getting very rigid and he’s feeling more and more rigid, well, just have him get rigid two or three times and pass along-go along to the next whistling-post.

You’re dealing with something that’s very easy, but because you like to be deep, you like to be complex, you like to be a mystery, you’d hate to think that you’re lying out there on the most simple chart that anybody could ever draw. And that chart simply says, “Anything is better than nothing.” “Any mass is better than no mass and the denser the better.” And the significance is holding close to the preclear because it happens to be contained as a pattern in the energy which the preclear thinks he’s got to have.

Give the preclear a method to separate the significance out of the energy and he’ll do it like a shot-that’s Dianetics, very popular. You separate the significance out of the energy and you have the energy.

Well, your poor people that won’t exteriorize are going through this same deal. If you’ve ever noticed that a sudden loss caused a feeling of great unreality to come over you, then you should realize that a sudden loss or a slow loss will bring about an unreality and so they will. And it brings about the dwindling spiral and what’s to be remedied there, in terms of loss, is not the emotional stress and not the postulate about the loss and nothing about the loss, any way, shape or form, except the mass connections of the loss and that’s all that’s important about the loss: so much mass disappeared.

Now, the individual who goes unconscious is experiencing loss on a rebound. (I showed you that this morning.) He hits the wall and bounces back off the wall. It’s the loss of the impact which makes him unconscious, not the impact itself. It sounds funny, isn’t it? But there is his unreality and his unconsciousness, is after the impact not before the impact.

For instance, one day I was running an individual and he kept doping-off, he kept floundering around and doping-off and having a rough time of it and life seemed very cruel to him and we weren’t getting too far on the thing. And we were obviously in the middle of an engram somewhere and, come to find out, he had had an appendectomy. The ether didn’t bother him and nothing else bothered him, the pain didn’t seem to bother him-I couldn’t find anything that bothered him except one: He lost a part of the mass of the body and that was what he was boiling-off on. He wasn’t boiling-off on the ether, because the second we started to stuff appendixes back there where the appendix had been taken out, we almost immediately experienced a resurgence from this unconsciousness condition. And just to make a test of it, I gave him other types of masses and so forth and we were getting a “gunshot” on it. You know, and we were getting the whole thing-all kinds of things started to come off.

But just this one operation, it was completely wiped out simply by restoring the fellow’s appendixes and we only had to give him about fifty appendixes before he was clean out of the operation. It was the loss of the appendix that counted, not the ether.

I believe it’s the thought of the loss which starts to knock them unconscious before the ether can hit them, because I don’t think a person could be rendered unconscious by ether, myself.

Well now, if you find this difficult auditing, you better ask yourself the question, “How much do I want this preclear to have, anyway?” Cute question, huh? Mean. As an auditor who hasn’t had his havingness remedied, he will just sit there sometime and drool over this process, it’s very upsetting to him. And then when he’s audited, why, you find the session that he has given the preclear running out first. But it runs out.

Now, this is the process which remedies with great ease (and I’ve been saying this for a long time and haven’t brought it up much except to these Clinical Units), but this is the process that remedies Book One and anything that’s in it. And everything that’s in Book One will be found running off and you’ll find all sorts of weird and interesting things occurring.

But we don’t care how many weird and interesting things occurring, we’re just trying to restore the havingness of the individual and that’s all we’re interested in. So we want this stuff to avalanche in, we want the GE to get nice and replete and we want him to get all set and we want everybody to get all set up and real cheerful and happy and this is what you’re going to do for the rest of the week.

And this is what you’re going to do in Group Processes with this single difference: In the Group Processes particularly, at least every ten or fifteen minutes, throw in a good, nice, solid unlimited process: Hold on to the Back Anchor Points of the Room, Six Ways to Nothingness, get three sensations in the body you’re sure of and something on this order-unlimited processes or the next-to-the-last list in Self Analysis. And count on the Group Processing session to pick up any bulls, blunders, restimulations or sudden session endings that would have occurred otherwise. I see no reason why these things should occur, but you people can do anything, [laughter]

Okay. Now are there any specific questions about this process? Yes.

Male voice: Automaticities - when do you stop running them ?

When do you stop running them?

Well, I covered that a little earlier. I’ll go over it again.

Male voice: I was just asking.

Yeah. When the automaticity-that’s the “snap-in,” the avalanche. You get the fellow’s stuff snapping in on him-snapping in, snapping in. You get it snapping in until this is remedied.

You find it, start it, keep it rolling and then you’ll find out it’ll eventually slow down. Well, you don’t slow it down, you just keep it going. And then you have the preclear start it and have the preclear do it more and more and more and more until a preclear is giving them to himself at the same rate of avalanche as the “automatic bank” was giving it to him and you’ve got the automaticity of this type of havingness worked out in its entirety.

You do the same thing on rejection. You start to waste something and all of a sudden stuff starts to pour away from him like mad, you just let it pour away from him, that’s all. It pours away and pours away and pours away and then it’ll slow down after a while and then it’ll finally kind of come to a stop and you have him then start throwing the stuff-mocking it up and throwing it away from him again.

But that is an inferior technique to the other one. You don’t have to worry so much what happens on the reject as what happens on the income. This income is real important.

Now, that’s the biggest automaticity there is in the bank, so you trigger it and you get it rolling and you’ll have it. Papa’s death and the loss of the old farm and the loss of proprietorship of New York City in 1720 and the loss of the pair of earrings and the sexual libido theory of the left-hand lobotomy-these things will all fly off and they will go away.

You’ll see Fac Ones and “Fac Twenties.” It doesn’t matter what you see coming off the bank, it’s just energy with a pattern on it. It’s too bad that it has a pattern on it.

Remember that the preclear does not depend upon this pattern for his memory. His memory is wholly devoted to seeing or feeling out of this energy what’s happened to him. That’s memory. If a fellow knows what happens on the track, he doesn’t have to remember it. He doesn’t have to tie a piece of string around his finger and look at the piece of string.

He gets into this condition when havingness is reduced so that the energy pattern starts to show up, then he gets the reason which follows in after the action and the reason why comes in. Why does he have these energy patterns, what are they doing showing up? Well, obviously he needs them to remember. He reasons it all out. Wonderful mechanism is reason. All right.

When memory comes in, it’s because havingness has already come down. You want to restore knowingness on the whole track, then you’d better restore havingness.

It’s much more important to remedy the income than the outgo. A person isn’t going to be able to get rid of one single lock, who is real bad off, on the subject of appetite. He’ll keep going over this foolish lock.

[to student] How many times had auditors audited those incidents that we were talking about there?

Female voice: Well, at least ten different auditors hadprocessed two incidents - Dianetic-wise, Creative Processing-every one you can think of - two facsimiles.

Yeah. Two facsimiles processed over and over and over and still stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck. Well, we sure got planets roaring through them.

Female voice: Sure did-right through these incidents and cleaned up the incidents.

Sure.

Well, we have numerous examples of this sitting around. It’s a process which I customarily use when I’m - there’s several I use, actually - but I have never given up hope of cutting short havingness. Therefore, I talk about other things so as to leave you not badly grounded. You know, if other material suddenly shows up on the line, it’s not new and strange to you, you’re grounded in this basic theory because there’s upper echelon material in havingness.

But, the cockeyed process of Havingness just keeps walking in and demonstrating its efficacy come hell, high water, theory or whatnot. Doesn’t matter what theories are applied or anything else-of course, we got there to Havingness, itself, on theories. It doesn’t violate any theory that we have and so forth, it just happens to be fantastically workable.

Now, it’s-only thing that really recommends it is workability and it doesn’t mean that some day or other we might not find another process that works and cuts the bank to pieces much quicker or does something else or remedies that. But until that is well proven and delivered into your hands, my conclusion at having watched you audit and watched the states of your cases over the last little while here, is that the only thing I can really put in your hands is a lead-pipe cinch and so let’s use the lead-pipe cinch, huh?

Because I frankly don’t think your cases are ever going to resolve entirely until you’ve had this lead-pipe cinch handled.

We don’t have to hold our little finger in any particular position to audit this. You just do a good job of auditing, you stay interested in the preclear and you keep the stuff running. Your total inventiveness is to get something to improve or, in the case of rejection, you generally have to improve things until they’re unattainable and so they reject; and on acceptance, deteriorate things until they’re obtainable.

But the only place where you’re going to get any strain put on you is to get the thing which the preclear can accept and has some idea he can have and then get a lot of those and so on. And it’ll get a little bit tough in trying to kick one of these V’s around far enough so that he will at least be able to get a black mock-up of some sort or another-or something which will start to pour in on him, but this condition will be remedied. He’ll, by the way, quit on you rather rapidly because he’s going to be afraid he’s going to get sick. He’ll try to knock off.

Because dont mistake it, you’re going to turn on worse somatics on lots of preclears with this type of process than you’ve ever turned on with E-Meters and just looking for them. It can get real vicious this process can, real vicious.

I’ve seen a preclear actually go into a convulsion and knock over three or four chairs and so forth with me sitting there calmly saying, “Now, make the body flip-flop around a couple of more times.” “Okay. Now mock-up four more Earths and snap them together.” “Now mock-up eight again.” “Now get those going. Okay.”

And he’s lying there wheezing and half screaming and so and he gets the process started however. Because remember that no matter what the body seems to be doing, why, the thetan is still fairly alert and the thetan is doing this process.

Note: In this section of the lecture there is a flaw in the original recording.

Any questions about this?

Male voice: Ron, is itfeasible to run this on yourself?

Is it feasible to run this upon yourself?

There is a case diagnosis. Yeah. Yeah, it’s possible to run this on yourself-when you’re a Step I and exteriorized and close to Operating Thetan. Because the individual who starts to run it on himself will start running it on himself out in the street or in the car or someplace or another. And the next cockeyed thing you know, why, he’s doped-off and he starts running another circuit and then he runs something halfway through and he gets this avalanche going and then he has to stop because he’s going to do something or other and so forth. And it gets to be a very messy proposition, honest.

Okay?
