WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS UNIVERSE: A WORKING PACKAGE FOR THE AUDITOR

Flows: The Part Space Bears in Clearing

A lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard on the 9 December 1995A Lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard on the 9 December 1952

December 9th, unless I’ve lost track of a few dates, first hour of the afternoon lecture. We have today quite a little bit of coverage to do, because today we’re going to tie in several points now that we have covered ARC and Be, Have and Do, and all these cycles. And today we’re going to tie these into a first, a „What’s wrong with this universe,“ and second, a working package for an auditor.

This is the second hour of the night lecture, December 9th.

Now, as you well know, there… there… there might possibly be something wrong uh… with the MEST universe. There might be something wrong with it. It’s an incredible thing that uh… anything could be built on a hundred and eighty degree reverse vector. Never give a win without giving a lose. Never let anybody get ahead unless they’re backwards.

We covered the part force bears in clearing a pc. Now let’s go in over something that we’ve already been over several times, and let’s get the part that space bears.

Uh… I don’t know if you have heard a tape on game processing. I will cover game processing before I get out of here, try to at least. But uh… how do you set up a game? How do you set up a game that will just go on forever?

We find out that an individual’s concept of his space regulates his concept of density. And his concept of density would be his degree of aberration or his degree of freedom, as the case may be. And we could just arbitrarily divide up the arbitrary scale we call the tone scale, something like this: And, get down here at minus 8 and let’s take that, and let’s find out the gradient scale of space.

Well, you say it’s one kind of a game and uh… lying right underneath that kind of a game you have an entirely different game going on. Now that’s set up this way. You very often find your preclear is suddenly turning up and he’s complaining that every time he goes into a between-lives area or something of this character, or what he calls that, he is saying that he’s… he… he’s being promised that if he just goes back one more time, why, the next time, why, he’ll practically be ruler of the universe, and all that sort of thing. And uh… this time he has to accomplish so-and-so and so-and-so. And they give him a very specific goal. And then what do you know. They booby trap it. They give him a very specific goal and then give him an aberration that makes it impossible to accomplish that goal.

Now let’s take the first level here of Differentiation. Let’s take down in this band Association, and down in this band and from here down, Identification. Now let’s just take those as three levels. And let’s look at space in relationship to these three things. I give you Korzybski when it comes to a complete, exhaustive dissertation on Differentiation and Identification. You don’t need to study that but you can c… conceive of a fellow who can… you know, the best way I know of to recognize this, is to get some fellow who’s having trouble with his wife and give him some good old straightwire – the First Book covers this, by the way, considerably. We get this fellow who’s having trouble with his wife and get who he has her confused with – just that. And you’ll find out he’ll study around and he’ll study around and he’ll study around and finally he’ll find out that she wears her hair exactly the same as his mother. Or she has a certain mannerism that connects him to an aunt, or Grandma and his wife are confused, and he has attached to his wife everything he has found wrong with Grandma. Ha-ha! And furthermore, his wife won’t do the things he expected from Grandma. That’s a real lovely piece of identification, isn’t it?

Actually, who’s they? They are uh… people remarkably like thee and me, but uh… either just a little further down or a little further up on the tone scale, what you call a player, an assistant player. And the game divides down into players, assistant players, pieces, and broken pieces. These are actually the component parts of a very wide game. But you can actually take an E-Meter, take any preclear – they don’t know anything about past lives or between-lives or anything of the sort – you put them on the E-Meter and you say, „All right, do you have any basic goals?“

You’ll find more fellows have married their grandmothers and their aunts and so forth, and the wife isn’t there at all. She isn’t present.

And the fellow says, „Oh, I don’t know,“ the E-Meter goes bang!

Well, what do we do? What do we do? We… in the old days we got him to take a look at Grandma and then look at his wife, and we found he was occluded on Grandma. How do we solve that today? Make him create his wife and put her through her paces and even create a body, his own body, out there in a mock-up, and have his wife put that body through its paces. And we go around on this and do the create and uh… alter and destroy cycles, start, change, stop cycles, and so on. We… we do all these things and uh… we find out that the other just sort of clips out.

And you say, „Well, now uh… at the beginning of this life did you have a certain job to do?“

Why? Because all of a sudden he’s gotten action, capability of control in space over an energy form.

„Well, I… I kinda… kinda felt like it, but uh… uh… I’ve… I’ve often had the idea,“ and the E-meter’s going bang! bang!

Now how would we… how would we really get Grandma back? We haven’t been able to ever find Grandma, we know Grandma’s very aberrated… get an E-Meter… every time the E-Meter says uh… we say, „All right, now Grandma,“ and uh… the E-Meter goes „Rrrrrrr.“ You can just feel the brake lining smoke as it stops and sticks. He’s evidently somewhere there on Grandma, and is she solid! Or we get a sudden change of density. He just gets a lot thicker all of a sudden.

And you say, „Did anybody tell you before you were born that you should do so-and-so and so-and-so?“ And the E-Meter will go off its pins.

You see, that me… E-Meter registers thickness – density of energy. The denser, the thicker, your preclear is, the less space he has.

All right, you start tracing this down and you find out that all his life this individual has been trying to accomplish this thing, trying to accomplish it; but he can’t accomplish it because he has an aberration that… now you can just trace it right there. What is the thing he has which does not permit him to accomplish this goal?

So we say, „All right, now mock up… mock up something which we will now call ‘Grandma’. Okay, we’ve got Grandma. Now we’ll have Grandma go through her paces.“ That is just your standard cycle running, and try to run her upscale – reverse the scale on Grandma, and so forth. ‘Regret’ is the attempt to reverse scale, by the way. ‘Regret’ is the attempt to not have, and reversing scale is to not have by getting space into it.

Of course this works out mechanically. You find out that an absolute’s unobtainable here; therefore if you had an absolute right, you would get the end of the universe. It just works out that way.

So we just handle this thing.

An absolute right would be a right on all eight dynamics, and if all eight dynamics were right, you would pass instantly into a static, and the universe would not be here anymore. And if you had an absolute wrong then all eight dynamics would be wrong and you would have the death of everything in the whole universe to have an absolute wrong.

Now it doesn’t matter whether he gets a pumpkin on a stick or… or uh… whether he gets uh… uh… a skeleton, or whatever he handles that he calls ‘Grandma’; he’ll handle this after a while and he’ll finally realize that there was some possibility he did have a native capability of being able to control the old gal. So he’s willing now to get a pumpkin with a skirt on it, or a skeleton with uh… the typical hairdo Grandma had, or something strange. And you get him to handle this. And if you just went on down the line, the first thing you know he could… he could mock up Grandma three – dimensionally and she’d really be Grandma. And the same time you do this, he could look at all his facsimiles about Grandma too. Don’t even direct his attention to ‘em. He just could do that.

So, it just works out mechanically, not paranoiacally, that uh… the individual who is given a basic goal in any between-lives area is also given much more abundantly the reasons he has to lose. And you will trace for any lifetime or for spirals or for the whole track, these various efforts to get something done. The pc definitely has the idea that he is an integral part of a large goal, that something is really trying to be done in this universe. And the most appalling, and upsetting thing in this universe is the fact that he has never at any time on the track been able to accomplish wholly one goal. Because every goal he has ever been given has a big lose tacked to it. You cannot win without losing; that’s this universe.

So we’ve solved those two points. Now just let him stand Grandma up there and stand his wife up there, if necessary, these two mock-ups side by side. Probably by just handling ‘em, you’ve blown all this. But the truth… the final finishing touch would just be: „Look at them. What’s similar about ‘em?“ And the fellow all of a sudden says, „Well, what do you know? They both have flat feet,“ or whatever it is. He has this identification. He’s taken a single point of similarity and he has made it equal to the other point of similarity. You see, they both had flat feet; that made ‘em similar. They both complained about their feet; that made ‘em similar. And he’s closed the gap on this similarity down to a point where there’s a solidity in the fact that we have Grandma-Mama, or Grandma-wife being the same feet. And out of this we get ‘same person’ and out of this we get ‘same behavior’ and out of this we get the same reaction toward ‘em. Well, that’s an identification.

Now let’s take a look at that and find out if the universe at large is more or less rigged on this basis, and in the meanwhile I invite you to do a little experimentation on the E-Meter with those principles.

Now obviously this fellow has no space with regard to them. He’s never been able to cause them to act. That’s one… that’s one: he… he wants Mama to come in and tuck him into bed and she never does. Just let him start on that one. Uh… and… and she… he just never could control her, he never could, he’d be lonesome or he wouldn’t have anything to play with or something of the sort, and he’d want Mama to read to him or something like that, and she… she’d go over and do something else. He tried to say, „Come here“ or „Go there.“

Uh… it’s… it’s… it’s just horrible, I mean this couldn’t happen to somebody. I mean he’s given the basic goal: at this time he ought to get something done and they… all kinds of specious statements have been made and this time he’s decided… You’re awfully… looking awfully gloomy. Don’t tell me that I’m hitting… hitting home with this.

A little baby, by the way, will get completely outraged about this. They have no concept of the idea that they can’t place in time and space at will, because they’re pretty high on the tone scale, although they’re all messed up with trying to learn how to use a MEST body all over again. And uh… you just get the baby reaching for a bottle, and then just arbitrarily move the bottle in some other location. And move it back and forth, and boy! That baby will start to raise more cain than anything you’ve ever seen.

Well, his… his whole modus operandi keeps getting jammed and he can’t quite figure out why this is. Well, he’ll jam it himself. You watch this odd phenomenon of a fellow going right straight toward a goal and he’s just evidently succeeding beautifully on this goal and then the next thing you know, bong! He’s wrecked his car or he’s… he’s thrown something in there. There’s something weird has entered in suddenly that kept him from reaching that tall cliff.

But let’s feed the baby so we don’t even have hunger as a sort of thing, and then let’s get the baby’s eye on something like the bottle that sparkles or attracts the baby’s attention. And now let’s move it out of reach. The baby will start reaching – move it out of reach. When the baby doesn’t reach for it, make him have it. You could drive him silly. I mean, he’d just go crazy right on. He’d just spin right before your eyes if you were to keep this up continually on and on and on. When he doesn’t want something, make him have it; when he… when he wants something, don’t let him have it. And you’ll just spin him in.

Well now, this is a very simple thing. That is: no win without a lose. Of course, if any piece won, that piece would be a player, and here on Earth we on… by and large, don’t even have pieces, and out in the slave strata of the outer… of outer space you don’t have pieces, you have broken pieces. And a fellow gets up to being a piece again and uh… he… he wants to go right into action unless you’ve pulled the trip on this goal.

Why? Because you’re keying in the whole doggoned track of the MEST universe on him. You’re just dumpin the… the… the whole aberration scale that he has right on his head.

It’s a… it’s a phony, this goal is. In the first place, nobody has any use whatsoever for this universe. There is no show to be gotten on the road by the MEST universe. That is the horrible thing about the MEST universe, is that there isn’t even a secret about it. The big secret about the MEST universe is that there is no secret.

So he wasn’t able to command, control or locate, or even get into a reasonable agreement with, the control and location of Mama in time and space. He’ll stand for a lot, but ordinarily he cannot control this factor and in view of the fact…

You will notice the modus operandi of mystery in this universe. You see, it doesn’t happen to be a pattern for all universes, fortunately, but the modus operandi of mystery is simply to hide nothing.

And by the way, I should define ‘control’ for you. Control is simply locating something in time and space. Creation would be uh… locating something to control – or creating something to control.

Lord Dunseny tells one of the most wonderful stories about a monastery which was scheduled to fall one day, and this monastery was up on a high hill and there was a rumor and a legend had gone forward for many centuries that on a certain day the monastery would fall. And uh… the day came, and one of the peasants in the valley walked up to the monastery and walked in the front gate. He was quite astonished to find no guards on duty because the guards were back in a corner of a courtyard weeping because that day the monastery was scheduled to fall.

And uh… he isn’t able to do that and so what happens? By golly! She goes out as a perceptic. Goes right on out on a pers… I was going to say, when it goes out in terms of perspective. She goes out in terms of PERCEPTIC. And this vanishment is because she has gone out in terms of perspective. He can’t control his viewpoint where she is concerned. He cannot control then, he figures, any space in which this character has been, which is all around him. And he can’t control the force and can’t control the location and it gets awful solid and the next thing you know, it’s just energy he can’t handle. You see, it’s a body of energy, a collection of particles. And so he says, „I can’t therefore view it.“ So you get an occlusion on the track. Isn’t that interesting?

And so he walked on through to an inner chamber and he was not stopped because all of the guards there were weeping ‘cause the monastery was scheduled to fall that day, and he walked on into an inner sanctum and an inner sanctum sanctorum sanctorum plus, and uh… finally came down unguarded corridors to the largest central room of this entire place where the mystery of all mysteries of all mysteries was kept, and here behind, at the far side of the room… obviously, the mystery was behind these huge black curtains, and he walked over and he looked at the curtains and he thought, „Well, it’s a very adventurous thing to do,“ but the monastery was scheduled to fall that day, so he adventured to do it. And he reached up and he pulled the curtains down and there was nothing there. And the monastery fell that day.

All right, what do we get then in terms of identification? Identification is quite black ordinarily. Now we get Mama or Grandma, or somebody like that. He hasn’t been able to handle that… that mass of energy. And in view of the fact that he hasn’t been able to handle it, control it, something like that, it buries itself. Well, now it buries itself. He’s immediately saying, „I can’t take responsibility for it.“ He can’t take responsibility for it because „It’s cause and I’m an effect. Well, if it’s cause and I’m an effect, I don’t want anything to do with it, and the best thing to do is just shut that thing off completely.“ So he takes no responsibility for the vision or anything else. Saying, „No responsibility for the vision“ is just exactly the same as saying, „I don’t want anything to do with that force. That force can master me.“

That is any mystery there is in the MEST universe. Of course, it fell, it didn’t have a mystery. And that’s true of any mystery. The boys who sit down and beat their knuckle bones and drums… oh, be… beg your pardon, they don’t do that in this culture. Let’s see, what do they do in this culture? Oh, yes, they… they uh… flick a phallic symbol over the audience. Yeah, now just a minute, I’ll get it. I… I get these ethnologies mixed up. Uh… they uh… yeah, they have these gourd – no, it’s beads, beads, beads, they count beads in this place. Anyway, uh… they… they had uh… all of these things of that character.

No responsibility is the inability to handle force. Responsibility is the ability to handle force in the MEST universe. And that is the definition of responsibility and that’s all there is to it.

Now there is a tremendous facade, with tremendous proof and yet the biggest business of the Middle Ages was manufacturing authentic religious relics. All you had to do was hide their history and they immediately became authentic.

Now… so we get this solid pack idea of identification. Therefore, anything that comes along that vaguely relates to this commanding energy, the energy which handled him which was Mama and which is now in the engram bank as Mama, we’ll get the engram bank identified with Mama or Grandma, or whoever it is. We get that bank identified with them and anything else that moves into present time throws the bank into restimulation and actually will handle him in the same way. And he can’t identify the difference between one and the other because he’s got ‘em in identification. He is identifying, that’s the trouble with him. He identifies Mama alright. What we want to do is differentiate Mama.

Now just look at this, look at this. The monastery fell that day because the mystery is no mystery. And, of course, when its mystery was gone, the monastery was gone, all right. You lift the curtain on the MEST universe and you find nothing there. It’s just empty.

Now, we start moving it up the line and the occlusion disappears and so on, and we get into a degree where he can see that they are just similar. They vaguely associate one with the other, and there’s just this similarity and you could actually interpose what? Space! You put space into action there. And the form that Mama is, is no longer packed tight. It’s… it’s gotten space in it. And other things don’t pack in with it. You’ve got space in there again.

They… they tell you, „All right, now what you’re supposed to do, is you just go down to that galaxy, that solar system, or let’s do something or other, and let’s get everything all set because actually the real truth of the matter is that uh… this culture’s growing fairly old and we need a new culture and we ought to do something with that.“ And you go down into this system and you find everybody rushing this way and rushing that way and trying to get something done, and just the second a man finds his hands upon the bushel basket full of gold, just the moment the person is about to drive in the last spike of the imposing city, just at the instant when he has success within his grasp, just as Dumas ended his… after twenty years, the marshal’s baton of France is being extended to the hero of the story, and as he reaches for it saying it was about time he got it, a cannon ball takes off his head.

So you get up the line up here, and when a fellow’s really free, he can create space. He can make space open up and close up around these things.

There’s no win. Now this is… this is actually part of the postulates of the MEST universe. Don’t… don’t… don’t look at it in reverse. Don’t look at it and say, „The energy behaves that way. That’s why these other things behave that way.“ No, the energy behaves that way because of postulates. You see, the postulates are senior to, in any case, the behavior of any particular field of action. The postulate is the senior thing in the pc although the pc is made out of energy.

One of the interesting exercises is to put a couple of anchor points out here on either side of some object he’s created, he’s got that, and then make it get bigger by expanding the anchor points. If you keep doing it, it just gets into smoke. It is practically… gets to be smoke and that’s all, ‘cause you’re putting more and more space per particles… unit particle.

Now how does the energy behave in the MEST universe? Well, I want to show you that the mystery was no mystery. We have two kinds of energy in the MEST universe. There’s have energy and have not energy.

Now there’s association: Association is logic.

MY! Some of you look awfully grim about this. I don’t… I don’t really blame you as a matter of fact. Uh… it… it so happens… it so happens that there are goals amongst the universes, there are universes. It so happens that there are universes where uh… love and other things can flourish and where a person can sit down on a pink cloud for twenty or thirty thousand years, and just sit there and nobody will come along and say, „Hey, uh… now uh… we’d like you to volunteer.“

Well now, there’s differentiation at one end and identification at the other end. And logic sits in between. Uh… what’s this business then of finding the common denominator of all of these other things? Finding all these common denominators and so forth? Well, you’re actually identifying so you can pull to pieces again. You’re… you’re showing, „Now look: these things are related to this degree. Now we can bring them up into association. And now we can bring them up into complete differentiation.“

And the fellow says, „I don’t want to volunteer,“ and uh… so then… then there’s this… he hears this little hissing sound, ssssssssss, and he says uh…

When you start to differentiate, you have looked over this, you find a common denominator to any problem – it will actually be up in a high band. The common denominator is in the high band because you can take it then, and build down into an identification with it. So you can go both ways on this thing, and your association can be… I mean, your… your uh… common denominators can be top scale or bottom scale.

They say, „All right, now that you’ve volunteered, you know you’ve volunteered, don’t you?“

What we’re studying is: What series of postulates would you make to cause the MEST universe? So we’re studying this thing from… from up here at uh… point Observer.

And he’ll say, „Yes, I agreed, yeah, I volunteer,“ on his way, there he goes.

What’s this silly series of isolated postulates that differentiate everything in the MEST universe? What postulates are they? Well, you’ve got the first postulate in Q-l. And uh… that is that uh… you’ve said that… you’ve said it could locate in space and time. You’ve said, „Well, we can create space and we can create particles, and we can get action this way. Well, I agree… agree… agree… agree.“ It doesn’t mean that that’s all theta can do at all! Or even vaguely! We’ve just got the highest level that we can get there and uh… have a MEST universe. We can have any kind of a universe we want to if we go on to that point ‘X’ Observer and looked down, and made another postulate. Let’s make the postulate that the capability of theta is to produce solid matter, uh… capability is to produce solid matter which then will create space. Anything. I don’t care how backwards it would be. You could think and think and figure and figure and all of a sudden you could figure out how a universe could operate that way. You could make it operate.

That’s a very odd thing but you’ll get any pc that you want to put up there will say, „I volunteered, yes, I agreed to this.“

Now this goes from the Observer, then, into high complexity, because from the time you get down here to identification, it… it’s really very complex. It’s all solid and there’s not much space. AND EVERYTHING IS IDENTIFIED. You say, „This is… this is hydrogen. That is gold. Something or other is that. This is a body. Uh… this is a swamp. That is a planet. This is an asteroid.“ We’ve got classification by object.

And you just ask him three times, no more, no less, don’t infer anything, not even by a tone of voice, and just say, „Are you sure now that you volunteered of your own free will?“ He will look kind of odd for a moment. And you say, „Well, now we’re just asking you factually just to make sure we get it straight. Was it of your own free will that you volunteered? Was there any… there was no persuasion of any kind used?“ And the E-Meter suddenly goes neeeeooooow.

You want to how NOT to find out about the physical universe? Classify it by object. German classification as the modus operandi and the only way to go about it would have led into deeper and deeper and deeper MEST. And it would have become more and more solid and more and more cumbersome and more and more cumbersome, and more and more solid. Until one day, with the solidity, the bottom falls out.

The body that’s held in pawn, the goals which are extended to him, these big volunteer projects, started out something in this fashion. There was a big building. He was curious, he was very curious, and he… he wanted to know what was in the big building. It was very fancy.

You get differentiation and association in space. That means restoration of space, then, is the key to this thing, hmm?

Maybe this fellow had a… had a… job, maybe he was already doing something. And he was going around through the civilization. He was already in use and uh… he saw this big building and he thought uh… he’d heard some mystery had taken place in there so he goes in to take a look. It’s wide open, it’s very easy to walk into, and what does he find?

All right, let’s take uh… find out how Start has to do with that. Now Start can exist there and this could exist in Change, and this can exist down here in Stop. But, you say, that stuff down there is in motion. Well, that’s true – that’s true. That… that’s down at 0.0. Uh… you’ve got objects which are in motion. They’re not true statics at all. They become dead as far as theta is concerned. And all of these scales are viewed from the viewpoint of theta and its capabilities. Don’t try to view this picture from the standpoint of MEST.

He finds this enormous stone hanging suspended in the middle of a room. This is an incident called the Emanator, by the way. And this thing is, by the way, the source of the Mohammedan Lode Stone that they have hanging down there that uh… when uh… Mohammed decided to be a good uh… small town booster in uh… Kansas Middle East or something of the sort… by the way, the only reason he mocked that thing up is the trade wasn’t good in his home town. That’s right. You can read the life of Mohammed. And he’s got a black one and it’s sort of hung between the ceiling and the floor and, I don’t know it… maybe it’s called a casbah or… or… or something. Any… anyway that thing is a mock-up of the Emanator. The Emanator is bright, not black.

Now if we looked from here up, we look from identification… everything… we say, „Now look. We’ve got to identify this and we’ve got that identified, and we’ve got something or other identified. We try to look up from here to 40.0. Oh, no! I’m sorry. It just uh… it just gets to be too airy. It’s just thin and airy, and you look high enough and there’s nothing there. And Man’s been doing that just uh… since… for ages and ages and ages. You run preclears, „If I just could find out the secret of the MEST universe, I could have put my own back together again and I guess I’ve been worried about it ever since.“ You get this off of preclears.

And so your volunteer, who is just on a sightseeing trip, goes in and this thing is standing in the middle of the room, and it’s going wong, wang, wang, wang, wong, and he says, „Isn’t that pretty?“ It sure is. And then he says, „Neeeooow ponk.“ Well I tell you, they cart him from there and they take him in and they do a transposition of beingness.

You say, „What are you really worried about?“ or something like that, and the E-meter’s falling, and you say, „Well, your own home?“

Transposition could be the technical term for… and is a very, very technical term and a very authoritative word, and I want you to take particular note of it because I just made it up. Uh… the transposition would be that act of taking a person who is here and under influence, like hypnosis or something of this sort, persuading him to be somewhere else and then monitoring him somewhere else by addressing the body which is kept in a state of trance or drugs here.

And the guy says, „No, I’m… yeah. I’ve always been worried about the house. I don’t want to leave it.“

You will find the lostness of your preclear normally stems from these transpositions, and why he can’t remember his past track, past this life, is partially because he doesn’t have anything from that period and the other is that he’s lost his space, and if he’s having trouble with space you’ll find these transpositions.

And you say, „Well, uh… sort of like a little world to you, isn’t it?“ Whamm! And you say, „It’s interesting you don’t like to stray far from it. What are you… what’s the matter? You afraid something will happen to it when you…“ WHAAMMM!

Little girl, she’s sitting on the curb, she’s playing uh… with a… jacks or something of the sort, and this will be in the year, oh, a couple trillion years ago, and she’s sitting on this big, beautiful city and here’s a very, very nice-looking hussar uh… who rides up and says uh… officer, and he said, uh… „How are you?“ and… and gives her some candy. Well, after she passes out, uh… why, he takes her across the saddle bow and takes her into the… into the big castle and there she is placed in a room remarkably like those that are in use right at this moment. Uh… there’s a shining grate or something of this sort and it keeps her in a state of trance.

Well, you could run out houses until you were blue in the face. But if you just start to mock up houses, in a lot of preclears that you run, you’ll all of a sudden get this tremendous spaciousness. You… you… the guy’s looking at a plain or he’s looking out here at a tree, or… or… a… a world that’s flat, or something. He… he’s looking at this plain. And you say, „Now we were trying to mock up houses. Now let’s… let’s get down to cases on this. Now let’s mock up houses again.“

Well, they take her, persuade her that she is a prostitute or something like that, or they get a prostitute and they bring her in there too. And they swap those bodies and then they will send this little girl off to all of a sudden occupy or take over the body of some political uh… some queen or something of the sort someplace or another, and make a prostitute of her so that she will disgrace the king and the government will fall. And this is politics par excellence MEST universe.

And the guy mocks this up, and he says, „I keep getting this plain, and that’s about all I wanna mock up.“ He gets real interested in this, and he feels all kind of griefy, and he gets kind of upset. There are many things that lead him into this. He’ll tell you… some of the most esoteric things are responsible for this state of mind, until you suddenly spring the one „home universe“ on him. „Eeeowwwww!“ It was a universe he and several others, or just himself, built once.

Uh… isn’t this wild? Incredibly wild. I haven’t seen this done here on earth uh… to any great extent at all. As a matter of fact, I haven’t seen it done here on earth as such. I’ve done it, but I haven’t seen it done.

One preclear had a home universe which consisted of simply one thought pool. They had fixed up a sort of a place and they’d just sit there and look in the pool. And one day the pool turned black and they couldn’t figure out why the pool turned black. And they sat there and sat there, and what do you know? Seventy-four trillion years later, in a session, in Scientology, we found this preclear. For all intents and purposes she was still sitting alongside of the thought pool. She sort of dragged it along with her and sort of hid it behind her back. And that was the case in her… her case. If she just could have found the secret of the MEST universe. She kept thinking about this, „If I could just know the secret of this, and what had happened to that pool, why it would have been all right. But then one day I found it out and I told somebody and they really gunned me down or they did something to me, but after that it was too late and it didn’t matter,“ or something of this sort. Very sad.

Now when I started finding this on the E-Meter, I decided that it’s something we ought to look into. And so I… I got ahold of a… of a… of a… well, he was in terrible shape anyway, and uh… uh… he… he… he’d never liked Dianetics. Ah… and uh… I don’t know, he’s probably all right right now, he’s probably happy. Ah… we had an awful lot of trouble with the body though. Uh… and uh… he went afterwards down to Fairhope, Alabama, and he hasn’t been doing too well, but one of these days we’ll give him his soul back. That’s all a joke, by the way.

Uh… you’ll… one time a preclear of such a history in processing uh… oh, a violent, violent distaste for anything like past lives or anything like that! Oh, no! And uh… I saw this on the E-Meter and ran this on the E-Meter. So uh… we suddenly hit the word ‘stars’ and we got nothing but this: „The day the stars fell down.“ And she cried and she cried and she cried. This person had never spilled a grief charge. And this person just cried and cried and cried and cried. And then she’d utter that phrase again and she’d get this visio. It was the day the home universe caved in. The MEST universe had overlapped and with a dull crash, that was the end of the home universe.

Uh… anyway, just experimented – this is a number of years ago – just experimented this way, can you send a person zip zip zip. Well, I didn’t know the mechanics exactly of what they did in this universe with this thing, you know. Could you send a person zip to here and there to there? Was this just astral walking? Or was it actually… did we produce a result? Well, it’s all right to sit around and theorize and say, „Well, astral walking is this and something or other is that.“ As a matter of fact, astral walking is the palest shade of anything like this. Just the palest of shades. And uh… this uh… do… can we actually make this person influence somebody at a distance?

And so a viewpoint up here, looking down at this, we can see what’s going on. But if we try to keep on viewing this thing from MEST and holding on to MEST while we go ahead and do this, and so on, it’s not so good.

And by working on it, really working on it, putting him into a very deep trance, narcosynthesis uh… which is used every day on people. And… very, very, very funny, I mean nobody ought to fool around with a human mind that doesn’t know his hat from his horse, uh… nobody.

Now when we say, „Start, change and stop,“ we actually could write right here, „Start – change – stop,“ see? We could uh… just have those just a little bit on the scale. Just this little tiny gradient here at the place marked „2“ here. Have this little gradient, Start-change-stop. And as we go down there we… we see that there’s a slight drop – oh, just one of these little emotional curves. And that’s what an emotional curve is: Starts something, changes, stops.

That’s right, uh… because psychiatry does this unwittingly all the time. They throw a guy under narcosynthesis and they say, „Be back on the battlefield now, all right you’re on the battlefield. Well, you were unconscious at that moment so we won’t pay any attention to that, now let’s go through,“ and so on. And the guy comes home and he walks around like a zombie and they wonder what’s wrong with him.

The fellow who thinks he’s still operating this universe can get Start. He still thinks he’s operating his home universe, he’ll get Start. And all of a sudden things will get three-dimensional to him. He’ll get Start – he’ll get things three-dimensional. And then you say, „All right, change it,“ and it’ll – „not quite so much.“ And then, „Stop,“ and it goes „Flap!“

You go ahead and you get one of these fellows and you have to collect him off this battlefield. They actually sent him over to the battlefield and the guy’s been sitting over there on Green Beach One for three years looking at the waves come in, saying, „I wonder where the battle was?“

Most of you people with bad eyes think the whole environment’s holding against their face. They have no space points.

Yeah, yeah, wonderful, isn’t it? All right, uh… so I sent this… this… this – three guys as a matter of fact – I sent several of them, but I… I hate to break down and tell you about that. Uh… none of them liked Dianetics so it’s all right uh… and uh… one of them was, well, that’s all right.

So we get this Start, Change, Stop. And there’s two reasons for this: In one’s own universe, all he had to do was say, „Let’s do it,“ and uh… that happened. There’s nothing to that. There was no balk. But in this universe, he could start something very easily, but to change it became a little harder, and to stop it practically became impossible. So he gets quite upset. He’s still trying to run his own universe.

Ah… anyway, could we take a homo sapiens and just simply tell him he was somebody else and make him orient and regulate and monitor the activities of the person we told him he was? Yes, to this extent, to tell this guy, drugged, to go over and get ahold of Bill and be Bill and have Bill get into the car and drive straight up to the front door.

So we get this Start, Change, Stop. And we get it for that reason. But there’s a deeper reason than this, and it’s simply this reason: Start, Change, Stop on the big scale. Of course, you have three-dimensional visio when you say, „Start it.“ That’s space. ‘Start’ and ‘space’, for this universe, are synonymous. So when you get visios you can always conceive of starting something, you have space. Then you tell your person, when he’s mocking up things, you say, „All right, now change it,“ and he has a little more trouble with it and it sort of wants to cave in on him. He started it all right. He had it way out there. He had it out there about 30 feet. And it was just fine, and you say, „Change it,“ and this thing shows! It’s going to start coming back in on him again. And you say, „Stop,“ and then my golly! He just can’t hold it out there.

You give it 15 minutes and you look outside and there’s Bill. So just as Bill is going to get out of the car and before you have any slightest chance of doing anything else here just take this fellow and bat him around a little bit and wake him up and say, „You are still Bill, now drive down to the City Hall and apply for a marriage license. Now you are driving down, now apply for this marriage licence. Now go on down there. Now go on, walk up,“ and so on.

Now you say, „All right. Now let’s mock up this thing, and now let’s… let’s uh… let’s make it walk to the right. Now let’s stop it. And every time he starts to stop it, he find it’s sticking on his nose practically. It just flies in and hits him.

All of a sudden this fellow Bill calls you up and he says, „You know,“ he said, „I’m beginning to worry about my mind. You know that yesterday I applied for a marriage licence and I don’t even know any girls.“ This was in Hollywood, and of course no Bill in Hollywood would be interested in girls.

Why is this? It’s because Stop at 0.0 has no space, and Start at 40.0 does have space. You see why this is? Be… and differentiation is simply the distance between the particles. When you have all the particles on one point, so to speak, you’ve got identification; and when they’re just a short distance from one another so you get some sort of a battery action amongst ‘em – a mild battery action – they trickle through. You can think consecutively: add up, subtract, run this facsimile into that facsimile, cook up a new one, pour into the cook’s stove and boil it up real hot and serve it out as a geometry. Uh… and you get more particle distance in it where there’s no interaction between these points, and we get, of course, difference. Well a particle is different from another particle just simply because it is located in a different point of space, that’s all. And we get thinking, then, can be very airy. I mean, the fellow can think about this particle for a while, and he can think about that particle.

So you want to know: Can it work – does it work? Does it exist? Is it phenomena? Boy, is it!

Now, hold your hats, because there’s a higher drill than differentiation. You’ve got to be willing to use force. And the postulates that you get down lower scale are pretty interesting, but they get enforced by force. But you can actually do this drill and improve the ability of a person to run mock-ups very fast. A lot of you have asked, „What… what about… what about getting a concept of this dog. I can just get this concept of this dog marvelously, but I don’t see a dog.“ No. No good – not a mock-up. A mock-up has a location in time and space – not a thought. You’re thinking of thinking of a dog… you’re thinking of seeing a dog, not seeing a dog or perceiving a dog.

Your preclear has been… been shuttled. Many of your preclears that are really lost have been shuttled from hither to thither to whither until they finally don’t know what… if they’ve got any space. One moment they… they’re… they’re sightseeing, they’re on… they’ve just gotten off a ship or… or something of the sort, and they’re walking along and there’s this big, beautiful building and it says Free Excursions: See the… the panoramic or something, and… and they walk in and that’s… their ship is still sitting out on some airport some place. The baggage is still in some waiting room, the wife and kiddies are still wondering – hardly, because this is probably millions of years ago – they’re still wondering whatever happened to him. And, of course, it’s just too horrible a fact for him to face that all of a sudden, he could cease to be here and suddenly materialize there as somebody else. You wonder what happened to his space – it’s scrambled all over the place.

What’s indicated there? Black and White Control Processing! And I don’t mean by running black and white now. I mean you mock up a black point in front of the preclear with his eyes open or closed. He finally gets to a point where he can see this black point no matter how small, no matter how big. He can SEE something in front of him. And you ask whether or not you should see these things in your imagination or see ‘em actually. Well, they… they look awfully thin when you first start, but you actually see them. You… you… you know when they’re there and you know when they’re not there: That’s the criteria of it. „Do you know that thing’s there? Do you feel that it’s gone when it’s gone? Do you… when it’s there do you know that it’s there?“ That’s about it. Rather than the thinness of the perceptions.

Now I… I could give you… give you a rundown on this and maybe… maybe I will. But it’s… it’s just too fantastic for words. That’s just too fantastic so, of course, nobody would believe it, and that again is the main stock-in-trade of the MEST universe.

The fellow… fellow will feel this sudden surge or something when he knows this thing’s gone, when he knows it’s there, when he knows it went into yesterday, something like that. You… you’re figuring for that positiveness.

You notice that everybody triggers on a „I can’t believe it.“ You notice that… that’s some of the nicest mechanisms there is. The reason why Scientology can’t actually take the guts of nuclear physics, extend them; we’re more usefully in the direction of chain fission, low-order chain fission than the boys are out at Los Alamos. We could take that, we could ship it to Russia, we could ship it to Germany, we could do anything we wanted to.

All right, let’s just drill with a grey spot on the wall… or a black spot on the wall, and let’s move it no matter how slightly to the left, no matter how slightly to the right, no matter how far up, no matter how far down. And let’s turn it a color, or let’s increase it in size and let’s drill with little black spots and little white spots and big black spots and big white spots. And move ‘em around in time, space. Put out a couple of anchor points and put the spot in there. Deal with that simple geometric figure. And deal with it and deal with it till all of a sudden the fellow heaves a sigh of relief and he says, „Ahh! You know? I believe I can see something!“

I could go down here and take an electronic laboratory and build a gimickgahoojit that would bop bop gamma rays like mad and we’d just have the most fun. Nobody would pay a bit of attention to what was going on. Why? That is the main mechanism of the MEST universe. Does it immediately agree with a person’s immediate surroundings? Well, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t exist. Oh-ho, nobody is really permitted to imagine out beyond the surroundings in which he finds himself. That’s one of these agree mechanisms.

That’s very fascinating. There’s all kinds of variations of this drill. You take the black spot. All right, now cut it in half and move the two halves in opposite directions. That’s kind of complicated. Now turn just one of them into a cross. Now turn the other one into a cross. Now turn the first one you turned into a cross back into a circle. See, it’s just control. You’re practicing on control on a mock-up.

You do something that is completely out of agreement… supposing, supposing we went down and… the doggonedest things could happen, you know. Ah… you could suddenly take over the Empire State Building in New York City and uh… if you had it on the proper deeds and so forth and… and everything was all set up, why, you’d have the Empire State Building as long as you’d gone through the agreement of the environment. The whole society is wide open, it’s just like it’s Swiss cheese, it’s very solid compared to this… this society. It just lies here; it’s as porous as a sponge and nobody eats it up. Somebody ought to wonder why.

And that… imagination isn’t good enough. You have to… you actually… what is indicated, if a person is doing this, or if a person is worried about imagining it; if he can imagine it all right but he can’t see it and this is worrying him, start him in at the bottom of the energy scale, which is black and white spots. If he can’t see a black and white spot after a lot of figuring, if he can’t get some kind of a flicker – somewhere – with his eyes open or his eyes closed or something like that, ask him to see if he can conceive a little bit of space – by putting out a couple of dimensions. And if he can’t do that um… in imagination, at least let him locate the anchor points in the room he’s sitting in. And if he’s gone down to that level, he will receive quite a shock when he locates the anchor points of the room he’s sitting in.

There’s two reasons why, is MEST has no real value, and the other reason why is… is because there are a lot of people making awfully sure right now this place doesn’t get eaten up.

You think, just because you can see them, that he does. He thinks he’s seeing them, but he actually hasn’t located them at all, or they don’t exist for him or he coils at the thought of putting out anchor points. So this is your gradient scale of how you move in on energy. You’ll find out uh… by the way on… on this, it’s… it’s very amusing what you can do to give the fellow the difference of concept on anchor points.

Now I ask you to… to qualify all that I’m telling you and realize that it’s far too incredible, far too incredible to oh… actually be. But don’t get an E-Meter and start asking questions. You start to collect your preclear in space, you start to sum up his space, where did he suddenly cease to exist and where is he still trying to hold on, and you will get a state of mind which says… which has no fluidity. It… it says… it says, „Now look, it’s happened to me once too often. I was here and then all of a sudden, bow, I was someplace else and… and I… I’m sure I’m here,“ and your preclear is hanging on to any anchor point the MEST universe cares to give him. He knows he’s here.

Now, let’s get Start, Stop and Change on a chain of thought. Start, Change and Stop on a chain of thought. Let’s start a guy thinking about some thought or other on some subject. Now let’s increase the amount of thinking he’s doing. Now let’s decrease the amount of thinking he’s doing. Now let’s stop. Now let’s pick the chain up he was thinking about just before you started processing him, let’s decrease it and uncreate it. That is to say, stop it again.

Your preclear as you’re processing him on mock-ups will occasionally open his eye and look around the room just to make sure he’s here. And he’s… he’s… where’s here? Well, any here is better than no here, so he at least knows he has a location, that he hasn’t suddenly gone zook and appeared on Arcturus as a street sweeper.

Let’s work until the preclear can start thinking about anything. Increase his thinkingness about it, decrease his thinkingness about it, and stop thinking about it.

Oh, it’s fantastic enough uh… when you come to think about this, that uh… that something like this could go on and never get detected even vaguely. Well, fortunately, it’s very easy to solve. It is tremendously easy to solve once you know spacation. Because you can just solve it by mocking up anchor points and that sort of thing and the fellow is ill… you’ll wonder why this makes a fellow feel so much better. Actually he’s… most of your people have been transported and supertransported too wildly for his own credibility, much too wildly.

Let’s work until he can start out thinking about guitars. All right. He thinks a little harder about guitars. Now he changes from thinking about – change is in there too, you see – he changes thinking about guitars to thinking about guitar strings. Now he decreases thinking about guitar strings, then he stops thinking about guitars. Rrrrrrrrr.

Now, at the same time, just because that condition of affairs can exist – and it can only exist because it is unknown, that is, it’s a mystery, it’s hidden – just because that strange state of nonsensical things can exist uh… disconnected uh… uh… the fellow loses when he thinks he’s winning and he wins when he loses and all this is hidden back of the lines, is because of two things.

You would be amazed what will happen to some preclears. You say, „All right, and let’s start thinking about cars. Okay, fella. All right, now let’s think a little bit more about cars. Now let’s change to thinking about car tires. Now let’s decrease our thinkingness about car tires. Now let’s stop thinking about it.“

That is, one, the preclear himself never got oriented the instant he stepped into the universe. He was disoriented at that moment because it was strange space and he is at the present time gripping with terrible tenacity to any orientation to which he can credit a reality – any one. So one of the reasons why mock-up creative processing works is because it, for the first time, starts to treat the only anchor points he ever had or he ever will have.

„All right, now let’s start in thinking about…“ And you keep it up, at that rate the fellow can just feel his brakes start smoking on some of these lines.

He… he doesn’t have any other anchor points than his own anchor points, but somebody could come along with trickery and drugs and persuasion and shift him from one place to another just grandly and beautifully and here you have, then, your preclear losing space and appearing in one space and in another space.

„Now let’s think about a guy you don’t like. Now let’s increase the thought about it. Now let’s decrease the thought about it. Now let’s stop thinking about him.“

This material becomes deadly when your psychotic is faced with it – just deadly. Oh, it’s just grim. The poor guy has com… he has adequate reason to be completely fruitcake, anybody has, and somewhere along the track he’s taken refuge in the fact that he was no longer responsible so somebody could stop punishing him.

Oh, boy! You can… you can see the brake fluid squirt out of his ears, sometimes, when he tries to stop some of these chains of thought.

And you see when a guy can’t die, he can be punished and punished and punished and punished and punished, so his final answer to inability to die is to say, „I’m not responsible and I can’t be responsible,“ and the… the substitute in the thetan for death is insanity. And that, of course, came about and the person chose the substitute of insanity before he chose uh… to have a body and have it die.

What you’re doing… what you’re doing is just working with the control of association when you’re doing that – mostly, associative thinking, and you’re doing it on this little band here, rather than on a large band.

You know, it’s a very good thing to have a body because we have an agreement here… here and that is to say when you kill the body the fellow is legally dead. You can only go so far with punishment. You can’t keep going after that point.

Now you get all sorts of pictures and mock-ups and everything when he does this, quite ordinarily, but he isn’t paying any attention to them. You just want him to get his time factors in there.

Now these incredibilities add up to a squirrel cage, and when a fellow starts looking at the unknowness of it, he’ll suddenly stop knowing himself.

Now you could do at it… more… „Now let’s think of a big, wide space. All right. Now let’s change it. Now let’s think of a little, bitty cooped-up place. All right, now let’s… let’s… let’s change it into a nicer place. Now let’s think of a big wide space.“ You’ve got the guy on up the tone scale. And he’ll generally laugh or smile or feel pleased about it.

What is knowingness composed of? It’s composed of having anchor points and being able to handle and combine energy. That’s all known… knowingness consists of really. It’s… if you can do that then you have the capability of knowing, which is to say, computing anything that has to do with a universe. Now if you can do those things, you see, the data which we have here… look, all of the data we have is MEST universe data. There’s datum after datum after datum and they’re all MEST universe data just as though they were important.

Now wherever you can run these curves backwards, do so, but most of the curves, when they run Start, Change and Stop and so forth, the guy’s Start gets awfully confused with Stop. So if you start an automobile, back it up. You’re running a curve backwards. Have him stop the automobile; now make him make the automobile back up. And he’ll be back at the beginning of the thing again.

It doesn’t really matter a tinker’s doggone where this preclear has been transported to from one place to another; it does not matter a bit how much MEST universe space he has lost. It doesn’t matter how many identities have been taken away from him, really, in this universe; that is of no consequence. Rut a psycho, all of a sudden, is faced with some terrible problem in this life and he starts to look for the answer and he starts to look, God help him, in his facsimiles, and the second he starts to look for the answer to some all-pervasive problem about knowingness, the wrong place to look is facsimiles because the energy in them is rigged backwards. It is zong, 180 degree wrong. So uh… the fellow starts looking through this and of course he knows less and he knows less and he knows less. What is he finding out from these? He’s finding out past identities, but these identities were not his identity.

But get… now, of those drills, this starting and stopping a chain of logic is a very interesting one. Of course, that doesn’t cover too much, but when we apply that on a chain of logic to thinking about wide spaces, changing their character, thinking about small places, thinking about a little bit bigger places, thinking about big wide places again – why it’s interesting what happens.

His identity is solely and only his own beingness high on the tone scale, that identity which he assigns to himself is his individualism; that’s his individualism. Uh… he is actually has to be robbed of his individualism to become John Jones, which is an identity.

Now we could take the whole emotional scale and we can start planting the emotion – this is quite necessary in this mock-up – we can plant the emotion in the incident uh… in the… in the scene. In that case, you have to have scenes. Or you plant the emotion in the thought chain. „All right, let’s… let’s think… let’s think now about your grandfather. All right now, let’s think cautiously about him. Now let’s hate him. Now let’s be… feel fear of him,“ see? Now it’s best to put a mock-up out there and put the emotion on that. „Let’s… let’s get afraid of him. Now let’s feel a little bit of grief about him. Now let’s feel a little bit of caution about him. And now let’s feel enthusiastic about him.“

So uh… that’s all the identity the fellow’s ever going to have and he just hasn’t made up his mind to it. Uh… but he still thinks that it was more important to have been assigned an identity; you get preclears coming around and saying, uh… „I was uh… Noah,“ or… or… or something of this sort, „and I have these terrible crimes upon my back, yap yap.“ It will… so what, so what?

Of course, you’re taking the guy up scale when you get these upscale emotions, because they’re on the emotional curve. Enthusiasm is at 4.0 and apathy is at the bottom, so you can run the guy from apathy on up.

You’ll find, by the way, another manifestation is preclears will shift identities and borrow facsimiles like mad. There’s what they call the Christ game and that game has been played and played and played and played – honest to Pete, these cards are just so thin. They’ve been laid down amongst the coffee cups and so forth of a whole universe.

„Now let’s feel… let… let’s get a visio of a stopped car and feel apathy about it. Now let’s change the thing and feel cautious about it. Change the car and feel cautious about it. Now let’s start the car and feel enthusiastic about it.“

You’ll find out thousands of years before the year one A.D. Earth, you will have facsimiles and dolls made up like Christ. Fac One a million years ago is occasionally rigged with Christ and the Devil and an angel. It’s a fascinating thing, it’s an old game.

By interrelating those two things, you’ve shot the guy up tone scale. You’ve done the same thing as, „Take a little tiny space; now make a little bit bigger space; now make a great big space.“ You’ve brought him up tone scale on that gradient scale, and you’ve got Start, Change and Stop regulated against emotions, which again give more space!

Here on Earth there was undoubtedly a Christ. Well, one of the reasons he was… he swept in so suddenly uh… and… and he would go forward so hard is he had a good assist back of him in terms of an implant.

Do you know… ever hear of anybody who was enthusiastic spoken of as ‘broad’ and ‘expansive’? Yeah, that just means more space in him. And did you ever hear of anybody uh… apathy, and so on – actually there are a lot of degrees of apathy – but a guy… a guy gets awful solid at apathy. A catatonic schiz is actually so solid in some cases that you can mold their flesh, and it stays the way you put it. They’re still alive it says at the bottom of the bed chart.

All right. Now he… you’ll find preclears, and this is a little problem that will come up with you. You’ll find preclears all of a sudden are Christ. You will actually find a preclear will go all the way through with a crown of thorns and every other darn thing. Just look for an overt act against Christ, and it solves itself.

Now, therefore, identification, association, differentiation goes from condensed space, such as an object, through wider spaces with more or less related objects in them, or disrelated objects, up to widely different objects.

What they’ve done is picked up an implant phrase and done a mock-up on it. They can do it… they can do this. They pick up some kind of an implant or some kind of a terrible upset or a conviction of some sort or another, and then they’ll go ahead and, my lord, they’ll carry that cross clear up to the top of Golgotha and get themselves nailed on it, and uh… very few of them go to the point of getting the… the uh… gall bladder stuffed in their mouth or something like that – little Christian niceties – uh… but uh… they… they… they will be just about as good as this as they know about Christ. They’ll add no new data to the situation.

„Let’s uh… let’s get a picture of a mine, uh… in the West and a plugged hat. Let’s get a high silk hat and a mine in the West. Uh… now let’s get the uh… now let’s get a factory chimney and a breadfruit tree.“ See, those are widely different things; they’re in widely different places. Now you might experience just a little bit of difficulty sitting ‘em down side by side. Now you could practice sitting ‘em down side by side and then start moving them out again.

This is an overt act against religion, and the person has been made guilty in terms of some religious cult, and so on and the only reason that could ever happen to him is because at some time or another he has deserted a group which was a high ethical group and after that he can become prey to other things.

Your enthusiasm and zest for existence comes mainly from your ability to differentiate. You go into one place, you one… one quarter of the country – one province – and you find out that they’re talking there with uh… one accent; you go over the border of that area and you find out they’re talking with another accent. And you say to yourself, „My, isn’t that interesting?“ A guy alongside of you who’s way down tone scale, heard ‘em talking the first accent, went over the border, heard them talking the second accent and there was no difference between the two accents. Didn’t make any difference at all to him. He couldn’t tell the difference between the two. Oh, he really could tell the difference between the two; it’s all the same to him. It would’ve meant space caving in on him.

Man’s degradation always stems from his first desertion or breakage of, really, the Code of Honor. He breaks the Code of Honor and after that he starts downhill and he gets worse, and worse, and worse, and worse, because his trust in himself is worse and therefore he can’t trust what his own space is or his own energy is or anything else.

Now you get… get the difference and the handling of and the similarities in and the identification of s… objects and spaces with regard to thinking.

So this is a completely wild picture when you look at Man’s location in the MEST universe and what he has or has not been through. The picture is just incredibly wild. And you start to search through facsimiles to set this picture to rights, all you’re going to find is the track of agreements which lead him to finally agree to be what he is right now. Now you’ll be able to map that, but as far as his identities being shifted in space, being shifted in time, all of these things – of no importance. The dickens with it.

You know space, by the way, has another action in it. You can get always a minus side of the curve. What do you think when you have to drive a long way across a lot of space to get someplace? Lots of space with very little havingness in it? Well, how do you think some rocket jockey feels when he would shove off from one planetary system to another one by slow freight. There’s LOTS of space. It sure increases the appetite for havingness and there’s lots of space in between those two.

And you… if your poor… if your poor psycho can only realize this, brother, it doesn’t amount to two whoops and a collar button what you’ve done, where you’ve been, who you’ve butchered, how many crosses you lugged to Golgotha, oh, that… that’s really vicious. You go down an… an insane asylum corridor and you see these religious implants are just leaping, it’s something in the order – it’s at least one out of three inmates in any asylum are spinning on religion. Why? God occupies all space. That’s all you have to convince a guy and he’s dead. That’s right, that’s all God’s space and any space which you occupy will be God’s. Oh, brother, just look at that as an operation. The guy can’t throw out any anchor points of his own without getting God into that space. And he’ll spin like a… like a spinning mouse if he finally gets this down the line.

Space, however, becomes infinite and so forth, only… and becomes too big, only to the degree that a fellow feels he can handle force. Oddly enough, if a fellow can handle lots of force, he can handle lots of space. He’s just as happy about it as a clam.

And you look down these things and you find these guys are trying to depend upon or trust upon the other thing that they’re worried about, God help them, is they have found out how perishable a commodity ARC is in this universe, how perishable; they have had an ARC break with the rest of the race.

But for instance, if you were to suddenly adventure upon a voyage which would take eight months and you would not even see land or water or trees or anything else for eight long months, and all this time you could see by the passage of stars that you were on your way someplace, I’m afraid that the degree of force of which you’re capable of handling right at this moment would make you feel awful funny.

Now this actually violates the individual’s own reality. It actually violates any way he would set up a universe if left to his own devices. He would set this thing up on a high-level ARC and try to keep it there, but he has been tricked here into believing that certain things comprise ARC and he… he’ll – all of a sudden you t… start tracing back a preclear’s life – where are his major ARC breaks? And he all of a sudden realizes that this human being’s no good and that human being’s done him in and that human being’s no good, and that he can’t help some other human being, and this sort of a progress has been setting in on him just… just year in and year out and he has never found this out.

Now if you want to get that same feeling, go out and look at a bright sky, a real bright sky when there’s no moon and just look at that sky for a while. And just spend a few minutes looking at that sky, or a half an hour just looking at that sky. And you’ll all of a sudden find out what your force registry is with regard to space. God, a guy gets tiny! Gee, he becomes weak looking at all that space, all that distance, all up there. Eeeowwww!

A human being finds it almost impossible to do these two things – one, be a driven slave under the whip of energies and necessities and spaces which are not his own, and to be at the same time a real being.Hefinds it almost impossible to cross the MEST universe with faith, hope, charity, love, friendship and so on. It’s dog eat pig.

Now you take somebody else… somebody else – maybe young and feels enthusiastic and zip, and so on – terrific capability of force, he’s got his ideas. And he looks at all this space and he says, „Ad astra per astrum!“ or „Stars, here I come!“ Yes yes. That’s very interesting, the interrelationship of that.

Look at… look at the way… look at the way the food system’s rigged. If anything is silly, it’s rigging a food system so that every time a being eats, something has had to die. Isn’t that wonderful? Every time a being eats, something has had to die even if he’s eating celery. The cells that go to make up that celery are live cells, that’s livingness. Here is theta has got this weird endless chain.

Now, space has a great deal to do with „Let’s pretend,“ and the reason why it has a lot to do with „Let’s pretend“ is because when you see lots of space you know there’s lots of room to set up lots of things in it. So it doesn’t matter whether anything you set in it is true or not, there’s lots of space to spare. If you want to repair the ability of a man to pretend, the ability of a man to assume, and so on, show him that he can keep manufacturing space and putting things in it almost ad infinitum. That there’s no capacity; that he can keep manufacturing space and putting things in it and knocking things out of it. And all of a sudden he’ll get more and more expansive and more and more expansive. It’s actually more important than anything else to demonstrate lots of space. And one of the ways you demonstrate lots of space is by mocking up a space, pull in… putting up… up anchor points, and then putting something in it and then putting it in yesterday. And then mock up lots of space and put in anchor points and then put something in it, and put it in tomorrow. And the guy has a flicker of a notion of how to do this, at first. If he’s worried about his facsimiles being in present time, something like that, give him one. Just tell him to mock up a facsimile and put it in yesterday. And then put that in a thousand years ago. And of course it’s all the same thing.

Go out and look at the sea sometime if you want to see how bad off theta can be. Take… take a big spotlight down in tropical waters and shine it into the water alongside the thing and then… then just… just watch. You don’t have to do anything, just turn on the spotlight and the little fish will come up to see what’s happening to the… in all this light, because they figure light=algae, that sort of thing and uh… they’re eating the algae, and the next thing you know there’s a flurry and a flash and there’s another big fish in there and he leaves a lot of maimed little ones and then he comes back and eats two or three of those, and then there’s a big flash from the bigger fish that’s suddenly cut in half by a barracuda and there’s a big flash because this time there’s blood in the water and you see a big barracuda come in there and then you see the slow lazy turns of a shark and Mr. Shark will come in there. Mr. Shark looks… looks awfully religious, he… he… he… he is… he’s… he’s very nice.

The way you do that – he just knows they’re there. And you’ll find 90 percent of your preclears that are in bad shape will be doing this trick: They will be going back to yesterday. And they know it’s there because they’ve still got their eye on it.

You know he has lids on his eyes and he can blink at you particularly when he’s dying, the most touching blink you ever saw. And uh… so Mr. Shark comes in there and starts to mop the joint up and then maybe a couple of sharks will get in a fight and then the shark that gets wounded gets eaten up by the rest of the sharks present, and if you’ve ever seen a bloody swirling turmoil that will really turn you just a little bit gaggy and cold, just do that trick sometime in tropical waters.

Then you’ll say to ‘em innocently, „Now…“ just very innocently, „Now… now how do you know it’s there?“

Now that’s… that’s… this universe then throws some sort of a… of a vile curtain across things. It’s… it’s an interesting thing, one of the commonest incident you’ll find in pcs is somebody telling them what they really face in the MEST universe and making sure that the guy knows how bad it is. Just… just… just pounding it to them, and then just breaking them down and showing them how degraded he is and so on.

„Oh, I’m looking at it!“

They get a fellow… you see, if a fellow didn’t consent to become degraded one of the fine days he could just suddenly throw out his chest and there would be a sort of a flash and a tinkle of glass and a faraway cry of the inventor of this place as he fell through all of his own space.

Here is a guy with tremendous space scarcity. The way you give him more space in a hurry is just simply to put him straight and then drill him until he’s got it well that all he has to do is say, „I know it’s in yesterday.“ That’s all there is and the thing disappears. That’s all there is to yesterday you see. Yesterday is „I recollect that I had – and n… now necessarily… don’t necessarily not have, but I probably don’t have now.“

I think he should fall through all of his own space endlessly myself, I think we should have endless space, a sort of a circle with leading type gravity. Because look at that, every… every sensation, then, every sensation is based upon some debasing thing. This is not native to theta, theta can be pushed in that direction. Because bad and good are practically without classification, but it can be pushed in that direction and it can be trapped in that direction and it can be made a slave to do this sort of thing, but God help us. The fellow who has had these ARC breaks, ARC breaks, ARC breaks, down the length of his life, what he’s doing is making the basic error of supposing he’s on his home ground.

Now if he still can’t get this, you get this one: „Well, take a look at it and realize you had it yesterday too.“ He finally can stretch his imagination far enough to grasp the fact that he had it yesterday. He can convince himself that he had it yesterday.

He is underestimating the amount of power and force that is driving or that the… his friends think are driving them. He’s faced, then, with people who are not able to act out of their own election but people who are caught enmeshed and enmired in a world where something has to die before anything can live.

When he’s got himself convinced that he’s looking at it and he had it yesterday too, he can also get the concept: „I won’t have it then tomorrow.“

Now it’s… you’re undoing then a very strange picture. You’re undoing a very strange, complex and upsetting picture.

Now really throw the… throw the 64 dollar one at him: „All right. Know it’s tomorrow now.“

You find… you think your preclear’s liked some of it, he’ll try to hold on to something because he’s liked some of it and you process him for a little while and all of a sudden – boom. He finds out that wasn’t the case, that he had himself kidded one way or another about that.

Work anyway you can to get him to get things to disappear in space. There’s another method of getting things to disappear in space. You put out anchor points and put an object in the midst of all these anchor points and then you collapse the anchor points. And that stuff will disappear. There’s no space for it to sit in. If he can’t get that, just make him vanish things and vanish things.

And uh… he… you find out that… he tells you probably that he won a prize and then we found out the award of the prize was getting up on top of a chute and going down the chute and getting all the emotions installed one after the other, and he gets to the bottom completely degraded. The emotional shoot, it’s just an incident. And so they had a big contest to find who the smartest thetan was in this area and at the end of this contest the thetan that had won the prize got to go down this chute. And of course that finished him.

Now here’s a neat trick for you: „Get a concept… get a concept of anchor points WAY OUT in front of you. Get this concept of these way out anchor points: One to the right and one to the left – way out in front of you. All right. Now bring those anchor points in until they sit about three inches in front of and to the side of one eye, and three inches in front of and to the side of the other eye. Got those anchor points in? Now put them out about 2O feet. Now put them out a few hundred miles – that should make you feel more comfortable.“

You’ll find that comparative operation in Formosa, the little Nippo did 50 years ago or so, more than that, a grab of a little island called Formosa. Formosa up to that time was inhabited by the Chinese and had uh… its mountains were full of head hunters and uh… hut it had a lot of randomity and uh… people were quite sick on it. And the Nippo, however, has taken great care that no Formosan has ever risen to any stature that would permit those people to govern themselves, and uh… the way he has done it is by awarding prizes to learn the Japanese language and by carefully making a drug addict out of any potential leader that rises amongst the people. He carefully makes a drug addict out of him.

You know, you can actually knock a man down with that trick. He… he doesn’t know what you’re doing. You say, „Get two points now and let’s put those points as far out as you can get ‘em. You got ‘em now?“

That is just typical of MEST universe control. You’ll find out that those people who best approximate the modus operandi of the MEST universe in methods of control are the most successful in the MEST universe.

„Oh, yeah.“

Well, this is a complete reversal to the purposes and actual uh… hopes of… of a thetan; he… he… he knows this… this is just… just haywire. Ah… what? Evil is rewarded, uh… only evil is rewarded with success, you mean you have to follow along with these trickeries and twistings and turnings and upsets one way or the other in order to… in order to bring about anything like success you have to be a dirty double dealing dog? uh… uh-huh. But remember what the fellow who is successful wins, he wins MEST. And that, of course, is the trick within the trick within the trick within the trick.

„Now bring ‘em in right to here.“

After a fellow has completely won the MEST universe, what does he have? He has, God help him, the MEST universe. But these tricks as they twist back and forth follow no good pattern of logic. Your thetan believes earnestly, it is very touching, this… this effect, he will believe consistently and continually and earnestly down to the bitterest day of his death that he has actually been trying to act somewhere within the framework of decency to the allowable uppermost limit. I don’t care whether he’s Pretty Boy Floyd or Mussolini or anyone of the sort. He thinks he had to do what he did when he did it in order to accomplish a goal of a wider level than… you know, he… he… he doesn’t think in terms really of evil goals.

And he’ll go ‘reel’ – he starts bringing in all the energy with him. Did you notice that? You notice you had the idea?

He’s… he sort of gets this way and he gets that way and he gets his values assigned some other way and he gets these things crossed up. And he tries to figure out this riddle. And maybe he hasn’t got a very good think tank to figure it with.

Do you know there are a lot of people walking around with the… with the whole environment sitting here? Right here on the ends of their noses? Collapsed space: There’s no space in front of them. Well, various things that have happened to them is… is people have kept insisting that they do things. People will stand up in front of ‘em and say, „Now you do this. Now you do this. Now you go there. Now you do this. Now you do that.“ And they’ve done very little of that, you see. „Now you do this, Now you do that. Now you do something else,“ and so on and so on and so on. „And you ought to be careful. And you shouldn’t talk so much. And don’t be so enthusiastic about things. And you know it probably won’t come to pass anyway.“ Just this noise – sound – yak. And it’s poured at them from a close distance and they keep trying to get rid of that yak. They don’t want that, but somebody’s convinced them they don’t own any space right in front of their bodies. And so they get this idea they don’t own anything there, and the first time you ask them to put out an anchor point, it’s quite common that some person will appear in it. Bang! Or, there’s a great big black curtain appears in it. Ask ‘em to reach over and pull the curtain aside, and find out if anything’s there. And they’ll say, „Yeah! I wonder where that came from? That’s a picture of my mother!“

And uh… the next thing you know, why, uh… he’s finding himself doing the damnedest things.

Now that’s, by the way, one of the tricks in… in mock-ups. One of the ways a preclear gets rid of things is to drop black curtains over them – quite common. He keeps pretending to himself that he’s got rid of them. He’s lost the ability to make them disappear. He’s run out of space. How he can run out of space is more than I know. This MEST universe is really lovely. That you could run out of space! People think they have though.

Well, to a limited degree he is successful. But all such successes are disposed of and any kind of success is disposed of. The reward of the most successful writer in the whole universe is a loss of his ability to write. The final reward of it.

You know uh… you couldn’t hire somebody that’s lived in Lower East Side, New York to… to move out, really, in the wide open spaces. They would get upset. They’d really get upset. That’s too much space and their… the amount of force they have does not match up to that much space. It has to have a much narrower space.

The reward of the greatest conqueror that ever rode with sword or tank or rocket wagon across the stars or across the steppes or any place else was not just six feet of earth. It was infamy, utter debased infamy. It didn’t matter what he started out to do. He wound up doing about 180 degrees different.

Well, anyhow, you get this fellow that thinks he doesn’t have… that he doesn’t have enough space or something of this sort, and he hasn’t made objects go away. Or he’s got a terrific „Save it, hold on to it“ or something of this sort. And he actually has this black cloth sitting across the object. And you take a look at his visio – a funny thing will happen: This fellow’s got no field of visio. And yeah, he can’t do a mock-up or anything like that. You say, „How about…“ just… just as a little test, „how about reaching out now and picking up the corner of a black curtain and lifting it and see what you see. Put… pick it up very cautiously and take a look at it.“ My God, there’s everything he’s ever mocked up or thought of, it’s sitting right there with him. It looks like a junk heap or something or other to him. You’ll have to teach him how to get rid of it.

So remember this when you look at your preclear. You’re looking at a puzzle that every time an individual started to go in one direction to meet a goal, the game was so rigged that he wound up with a… just exactly the opposite polarity of goal.

Now very often you will find him slamming down a black curtain right straight across his face and saying, „Yes, it’s gone.“ Sure it’s gone! Same way a little kid will hide his head under the pillow and say, „I’m hid.“ He can’t see you, so therefore he figures you can’t see him. Just as silly.

That which a person works hardest on, he winds up having. That’s one of the fundamentals of this universe. That to which he devotes energy, he finally has. How do you work this out?

So this is the trick on space. You’ve got to drill your preclear into realizing he’s got lots of space and he can create lots more. And you do that by drilling with anchor points, and also, you do it by reversing these scales. You get him starting things, and you start him upscale about this. You get him upscale on emotions. You have him mock up things and then run him up scale. See, don’t run enthusiasm uh… enthusiasm, conservatism, anger and then finish it up in apathy. Uh… if you want to, you can go ahead and do that. Of course, you’ll kill the fellow if you keep on doing that. Let’s not do that now.

Matter is condensed energy. So therefore, if you keep pouring out energy on something you will eventually have it. I mean, it’s just as simple as that. It’s just horribly simple.

Let’s start in fairly low on the scale. If you can figure out what his chronic tone is. Maybe this guy’s scared. All right, this fellow’s afraid. Let’s see if he can feel some grief. „Let’s feel some fear. Let’s feel a little bit of anger. And let’s feel a little bit of that.“ First you start in depressing his tone. Then you bring it up: „Now let’s see if you can feel some enthusiasm.“ You’ll find normally he can’t feel any enthusiasm. No-no. He can sh… feel a little conservative about it because he’s got that mixed up with a lower scale. Because your person who is afraid very easily feels boredom.

Now we’ll get a group that is, you see, we… we’re actually in a very strange situation. That’s why I can speak up well in advance of your own experience on this line is I… I know what you’ll find.

Now another thing the fellow will be doing, he’ll be holding on to things like mad to keep his space contracted. He’s got things flowing in on him, and you try to solve that and it doesn’t solve right away quick. Well, the reason why it’s not solving is a very simple thing: He’s simply trying to keep things from going away from him. He keeps the inflow, he’s doing it. You’ll find that every once in a while. Ask Mr. E-Meter along about that time: „Now let’s see. Are you holding things in?“ What do you know? The E-Meter will go „Zong!“

You might sit there; an auditor would say, „My God! Gee, this sure is wild. Boy, how wild can this get.“ Believe me, it can get a lot wilder than I’m talking.

You ask him now, „Are you trying to get rid of these things?“ E-Meter – no move.

And… and you’ve… you’ve got somebody that every time he had a goal, every time he postulated a goal, he postulated simultaneously his failure in the goal and didn’t know it. Every time he had a goal. We could bust that cycle. We can break it to smithereens.

„Well, you want to get this engram and stuff away from you?“ No move.

But get that. He wanted to do this and this. And he’ll find himself finally having accomplished that and that. He will find it now has an opposite meaning.

And you say, „Are you trying to get this stuff out there?“ No move. Yet he can’t put a toothpick out five feet in front of him without it slapping him immediately in the face. Bop! You obviously say, „The trouble with this preclear is everything is flowing in on him. All right then, everything flowing in on him.“ He’s getting all packed full. Ah, he wants it that way. He knows as long as things are flowing in on him they’re not flowing away from him. It’s very good, see. I mean, that’s very good philosophy. If you keep things flowing in, they won’t flow out. Now that’s good.

Let’s take the cops. You wonder why police forces periodically collapse. Why, you’ll have to have the heads of the detectives changed and the… the Chief of Police changed, and all the rest of the… the… the people in the City Hall changed one way or the other. They’re fighting crime, and they were putting energy on crime. And they’re putting energy on crime and they’re putting more energy on crime. And what do they finally have? They have crime. Now, that’s true and could work out this way, you see.

So how do you solve this? You just mock the fellow up, get the fellow to mock himself up, or mock something up that vaguely is a shadow that he calls him, or anything you can put over there, and you say, „All right, now get it holding things in. Now get it holding things in.“ And the guy’ll look at this thing and all of a sudden it’ll get very thin, I mean the… the constituency of it’ll get thin. The size of it will start increasing, and increasing and increasing and increasing. It’s letting things go.

If they started putting energy on honesty and put more energy on honesty and… they’d finally have honesty. But they would just have to forget about crime.

And then you turn around to run this flow back here and you find out the flow’s much better. So you take this nebulosity again and you make it smaller, and then you make it even bigger. And then you move it someplace else. And then you change it to a color. And then you make it much bigger, and then you change it to some color. And you put it over here. And every time you make it bigger you bring him on up tone scale.

You see, a criminal goes down and he busts into a store window, and then… then they… this happens a few times. And the City Council has to pass a law saying, uh… oh, this… this is common throughout the universe, had passed a law that after a certain hour nobody could be on the street, something like that. You… you’re not going to… you’re… you’re part of that town and you’re not going to break into any shop windows. And yet what do you find happening? That during certain hours of the day you find yourself restricted in the space in which you were permitted to move. Why? Because some stupid uh… yap out of some reform school or something of this sort has busted into stores too often. And you are penalized. That is law at work in the universe. Penalties, penalties, penalties.

The fellow who could handle, customarily, mock-ups and say, „Well, where do I put the head?“ and you say, „Why do… why do you want someplace to put the head?“

You don’t have to commit the crime to be subjected to the law. Your group, any member of the group, the foulest member of the group gets the most attention under law. Your newspaper headlines for instance are given to the foulest murderer. They’re not given to the most honest citizen. There could be some citizen who, by his good works and winning ways and a few other things, had really improved the hell out of the town and he is just made an announcement that he’s just improved the devil out of this town.

„Well, the MEST universe isn’t quite big enough.“

And so you look around and they said, „Yes, sir, there’s… there’s 92 acres of park fixed up and the kids have got a playground and… and this will cut down juvenile delinquency and everything else,“ and… and uh… sure he… he’ll… he’ll get some kind of a mention back alongside the obituaries or maybe when he’s dead why they’ll run it as part of the funeral notices and it will be the last line. Of course, much bigger right above it will be the name of the funeral parlor where he’s buried.

When he’s dealing like that, don’t think that he’s… he’s feeling insignificant. He’s not feeling insignificant. He’s trying to get spatial uh… expansion on something. He’s holding in something for a long time. He’s suddenly starting to get expansion. Well, get him to decrease it down and up and get things relative to the way HE wants them, till he can finally get this figure which is very small or in the distance or something, and realize that it… know completely that it is 2000 feet tall and he’s much bigger than that. That’s one of the ways of going about it.

But uh… this is typical, and so we get what is known as a dwindling spiral. And the dwindling spiral is based upon that principle – that on which one expends energy one has.

Well, the idea is to get more space. We… we want more space in these incidents, we want more space around the preclear, we want these ridges out further and we want all this to take place. And you’ll get action when that takes place.

Now because you can break this cycle and because there is such a thing as auditing, it is quite safe for an auditor to audit. It’s quite safe for an auditor to audit because he can rehabilitate himself. He can knock this stuff out and particularly now with creative processing. The theory of validation processing arose in 1951. It was based on this, I… I concocted it because I saw that the more you validated something, why, the stronger it got, as a basic theory. So let’s see what we validate and start working out on validation processing and sure enough it works.

Well, one of the reasons why he’s holding on to something goes right back to what I started to tell you about a little while ago, and that’s the loss of the home universe. As long as he keeps things flowing in, nothing’s going to flow out. And the reason he doesn’t want anything to flow out is because he remembers losing the home universe and one day it flew out. Somebody sort of pulled the bottom out of the tub and bang, there it went, down the drain and he never could figure out what happened to his universe.

But energy is such that every time you try to go toward a plus or good thing the guy’s bank will flip into a minus and, boy, if you’ve never examined this you’ve got a treat in store. In the E-meters’ uh… boxes Volney has a… a… history of that in the back of the E-Meter manual he’s sending out. Uh… pleasure moments, they’re running a pleasure moment with an E-Meter.

Or, one tricky fellow still had it, and I imagine many of them have facsimiles of them. And you start uncorking the facsimiles, (sh… tell me) the facsimiles of the home universe and they’re very, very beautiful. The guy doesn’t want to get rid of these. He doesn’t want to touch these in any way. That’s the only recollection he’s got of the whole deal and he’s sort of been hoarding these all the time. Why? He’s gotten into a state where he couldn’t possibly create another home universe, he thinks, so he’s holding on to it like mad.

You say, „Let’s get a time you were eating a steak dinner.“ And the preclear starts to eat a steak dinner and all of a sudden there’s a big drop on the E-Meter. And you say, „What you dropping for on the E-Meter?“

And if you want to look around your preclear with an E-Meter or you want to look around your preclear in processing or mock-ups or something like that, you’re going to find those facsimiles. You’re going to find he’s holding on to ‘em. And tha… that’s what he’s dodging mainly. That’s the secret. Somebody got to it before and so we’d better not find out how anybody gets to it again.

And the fellow says, „Well, I dunno… I’m just… I’m running this incident but I… I’m really not enjoying this steak.“ And you say, „Well, what’s the matter?“

Well now, you know a minus space… minus space would be into somebody else’s space and scattered. And that’s what takes place from 0.0, on an arbitrary scale, down. Your thetan… your thetan is in somebody else’s space, and there’s a MEST universe space and he’s scattered in it. And therefore he’s in minus space, and that’s why you have a minus tone scale below there: He’s dispersed. And you’ve gotta collect him. And the way you collect him is he thinks he’s got a lot of space. But you’ll find out when you first start processing him, he won’t even vaguely be able to handle space. He’ll get real upset if you ask him to „Now saw out a square block of space.“

„Well, it reminds me of my poor husband.“

He’ll say, „I don’t want anything to do with it.“

And… very interesting, you can’t have any pleasure, you see. Uh… the goal is pleasure so you have pain. The goal is pain, you’ll have pleasure – goes in opposites. So every time you try to run a pleasure moment, any time you try to run a pleasure moment on a pc you’re going to get something or other, and then when you’ve run enough painful moments he’s going to extrovert and he’ll flip up the line, but that’s not breaking the cycle.

Well now, isn’t that strange? I mean, you’re gonna saw out an imaginary square block of space out of the room and move it someplace, and he doesn’t want anything to do with it. He’ll be on the minus scale.

The way you break the cycle is to really get what you validate. Put energy on what you want, therefore an auditor really hasn’t got a heck of a lot of business monkeying around too much with psychos and neurotics and… and ills and ailments – why should he?

And as you get this person more and more able to handle space, he passes this point of 0.0 and goes right on up the scale. And after a while becomes terrifically able to move around.

This is probably a new thought to you, some of you, you’ve got yourself plotted out you’re going to help people. Good, good, nothing wrong with that, except this. This is something like turning a., a uh… 12 cylinder Hispano Suisa uh… loose in order to run between the kitchen and the living room.

Now the wrong way to get somebody out of his head like that is just keep hammering him and damning him and shaking him and uh… processing him and uh… sort of saying he’s being reluctant and he’s being mean because you can’t move him out of his head easily with perception. He hasn’t got perception because he can’t handle energy, and he can’t handle energy ‘cause he’s in minus space. That’s all there is to that, so you rehabilitate his anchor points, rehabilitate his ability to use space and you run him up scale on emotion with Start, Stop and Change and other things in the mock-ups and so forth; and you give him differentiation and you give him space back.

Now that’s just one of these minor, minor affairs. You see, once you’ve broken the cycle and you can make the able more able, let’s apply it to you first and let’s make that ability more able than that has ever been able to be able in this universe and let’s… let’s just fix it up so that short-circuits the action of the universe against you.

By the way, this person could possibly be the most logical person and very forceful person you ever saw. Well they’ve just got a lot to spare, that’s all. That’s why the MEST universe was tough on them is ‘cause they were tough on the MEST universe. They started in on the MEST universe and they started going „Rrrrrrrrr“ – the MEST universe gunned ‘em right back. Because all that you’ve got back from the MEST universe was the volume you put into the MEST universe – no other volume.

You’ll win, you’ll win because you’re no longer playing ball with the plus-minus set-up of the MEST universe. Oh, we… we’ve got a nice big win for you. Why, I… I wouldn’t uh… we got a nice big win for you, here it is, here it is, now you’ve got it? Well, what do you know? You’ve lost. I mean that’s typical. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised one of these fine days to see all sorts of… of… of… ships and beautiful women and cargoes of gold, and diamonds and pearls being flown… flown in here just like mad with ferry services and… and governments of the world trying to buy you off. The natural impulse is to halt an operation which will break the cycle called MEST universe.

So, do we have this now and so on? This person is in other space than his own and dispersed in it. And then a 0 would be a sort of a solid dot in space. And as he comes up the line he is a solid bit of energy, and as he comes up the line a little heavier he might be appended to some old MEST body down here at 0.0. He’s got some old body, he thinks he’s a space ranger, he thinks he’s a school teacher or he thinks he’s buried someplace, right about that level.

Oh, man, the guys who are being the most victimized by it are trying the hardest to keep it ticking, keep it ticking. All you’ve got to do is just step off that line. Just step off that endless belt, and just… just skip its idea of every time you win you’ve got to lose and every time you lose there’s some win connected with it and it’s all parity and that sort of thing. You can actually turn around just off of that use of creative processing and the rehabilitation of your own universe and your own capabilities. You can turn around and you can make this universe do anything you want it to do. It will do anything you want it to do, if you want it to do anything.

And the way you get him out of that is just ge… he gets to be an energy unit and he’ll be shooting energy all over the place, and all of a sudden he’ll get all very active and he’ll start talking to you about ray guns and… and how he – „Look at that streetcar conductor. Now look at him now. Okay. Ha! The guy’s hat flew off,“ see. Something like that. He’d say, „What do you know. I’m getting a little bit better. Marksmanship is getting pretty good.“ And uh… you keep him from going back into action there because that’s kind of senseless, wanting to go into action.

Now we wonder… we wonder about this – can you really reverse the vectors on the MEST universe? You sure can. You sure can, but don’t think you’re going to do it without a screaming, smoking flash because there… it’s not a mild one. But you see you’re playing the MEST universe’s game. All this is too incredible. No… nobody believes it. What do you know.

And then let’s get up the scale higher here, get up the scale and he’s getting more nebulous and all of a sudden he finds out one day he can mock up a body. He’ll say, „Isn’t that pretty? I am that body,“ and… and all that. He’s got lots of space and he can make lots of space and he feels very free about it all. And then one day he makes a MEST body and uh… he… he’s just sitting there calmly at the office and the such… secretary comes in and says confusedly, „I didn’t know you had callers.“

Supposing you, as a group, suddenly decided to wipe out crime in the United States. Supposing you just decided to do that. Now you devoted your attention to crime and so forth, well, you know the MEST universe’s rules of opposites. You’d know you’d have to put your attention on honesty in order to wipe out crime. So you’d take all the criminals and you would make sure that they made sure that they set an example of honesty so everybody would be honest.

And the body gets up and says, „Well, I’m sorry. I was just going.“

That sounds strange but that’s what you would do. It would be a very successful program. Uh… you would just put the police, you would put the police in cages so to speak. And you would… you would set the criminals up so that uh… the criminals up so that the criminals were very sure that uh,. they weren’t fighting crime, they were just making sure that everybody was being honest.

Okay, that’s how she is did. And uh… those are our aims and goals in how these cycles of action run.

You could form an organization with… not even with Scientology, but just something like Alcoholics Anonymous uh… which would uh… make every criminal responsible for one more criminal or something of that sort, just treat it as a disease and it would work out right there without any processing. You could end crime. You could end it utterly. And uh… you can win is what I’m trying to tell you, because you start tracking back with your preclear through he was here and he was there and he was shifted someplace else and his identity was so-and-so and he owned – the hell he did, the MEST universe never let go of anything yet.

Now you understand, of course, that any cycle of action that goes from 40 down here to minus 8, any cycle of action can be used to reverse this, and every one of them reversed will give us what? Space! And we’re looking for space, because if you haven’t got space, you aren’t going to be able to get out of this space because you haven’t got anyplace to go. You know that horrible line? No place to hide? Well, that’s a guy who’s in somebody else’s space and dispersed in that.

After a fellow has built something out of the MEST universe, it still belongs to the MEST universe. He’s maybe got a label on it but that’s an identification. It just says it’s MEST. And so he goes on with this endless chain and he gets nothing when he finally finishes; there is no reward.

Thank you very much, and good night.

And as a net result we have, when we look this picture over there, we… we see that an individual in order to win has to get off the treadmill of the win-lose built-in little gimickgahoojit in the MEST universe. He… he has to get off of that treadmill because it is pure deception. And when I tell you about some preclear being… being flipped from this body into that body and elsewhere and this being done and that being done and he getting ‘tween lives and he’s given goals and he’s given missions, he’s supposed to do this and he makes products, all that sort of thing – every one of those is a trick and a trap. You’ll have what you devote energy to, but remember that it’s your own energy you’re devoting to it and it doesn’t necessarily belong to the MEST universe at all.

(TAPE ENDS)

When you devote your own energy to it, you’re going to have something worth having, but when you insist on having that energy handed to you by the MEST universe, you’ll wind up with trash – every time. So what I’m trying to stress here is the confusion that’s the MEST universe is not even uh… important anymore to address even vaguely. All you have to do is rehabilitate the individual’s ability to handle his own and make his own space and energy. And only then can he or you be sure what is happening.

In a moment, next hour, I will cover… I will cover these contradictory flows to show you how the MEST universe flows are set up and what’s wrong with them.

Now let’s take a break.
