This morning we are going to continue, as we will all this week, on subjective processes. I am doing it - this to you with malice aforethought. We have some lovely cases here. There's no reason to chew into these cases and bust them all up, you know. It would just ruin everything because what we want here is to give you a good reality on subjective processes - "processes" for Great Britain if these tapes are ever played there. [pronounced in the British manner the second time. - Ed.]

Now, you see what we're doing here? We're doing a very - really a very careful approach. We are walking forward through all of this in an effort to give you a reality on both subjective and objective techniques. Next week you're not going to get a chance to run a subjective technique, so let's get some reality on it this week. Next week we're going to run objective techniques - very, very few and very, very little subjective techniques.

And I just got through telling you I spent the morning auditing this case - part of the morning - which has been audited before.

So we've got now, just today, tomorrow, Saturday to finish off subjective techniques. Now, when you realize that subjective techniques cover everything that has to do with a person's own thinkingness, you realize that we're finishing off quite a piece of stuff here.

In 1951 I released techniques to at least two of the auditors who have audited this case and as far as I know these techniques have not been utilized.

Right here let's get a good solid definition on what is a subjective technique. It's pertinent.

One of these auditors I remember scolding severely for not using the next - what is now the next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis, "Remember something real."

What is a subjective technique? It is a technique where its highest reality will be a subjective reality. It will be the reality for the person himself and for no other. And if we call it subjective technique, then, we realize what reality we are trying to achieve. The reality we're trying to achieve here is a very simple one and it's simply this reality: Can we do something subjectively to an individual to bring about a change in his thinkingness? And do we find this a relatively long and arduous process or are some of these techniques easy, simple and quick?

Every once in a while I run into this. It's utterly maddening. How an auditor can take somebody who is a bit adrift and not make this simple test - knowing the test, knowing it is in existence and knowing it is workable - I'm sure I don't know.

The only thing wrong with the mind would be in the mind itself Isn't that true? The only thing wrong with thinking would be thinking. Is that so? Q and A. All right.

But in this particular case, that test should have been used - oh, but thoroughly should have been used. He could have put in just hours and hours and hours and hours of the same list, just as it came out in 1951.

When we talk about thinking we are talking, then, in a subjective technique, on the lowest level of line collapse. It's thinking and then there's effort and then there's emotion, which is feeling, and we go out beyond that and we get looking.

And there's another thing in 1951, the other technique released - maybe you remember this, but I remember training two of these auditors in this. You put up - you have the preclear put his hand up in front of his face and feel the force of his words. And if he's above 2.0 or thereabouts on the Tone Scale, he of course recognizes immediately that there is no force in words. There isn't any force.

Well now, a subjective technique, again, by definition as we're using it here, is one which deals with the most close-in part of it and which causes thinking. Now, we're covering the subject of thinking. Now, do you see that there is a difference here? That there's a very marked difference?

The second I had this preclear do that, she got explosions. Now, this says a great deal - this says a real great deal for these boys, doesn't it?

Subjective technique would be that technique which went up to and did not exceed the boundary of; certainly, feeling about it. It would be thinking about it. There's subjectiveness.

Their acceptance level, obviously, must have been on well people. It just must have been, that's all, because this is too obvious.

Now, we're already - we're exceeding that boundary slightly. And the reason we're examining this field - it's the closest one in to the individual and it's the easiest one at which we can look, right at the present moment; we're looking at thinking. I mean, you better find out what you can about thinkingness and get some sort of a subjective reality on this, then, because we're dealing with the activity of the person within his body - again, a subjective technique.

Now we come out with a technique: "What room?" "What room?" I've been talking about this for a long time - talked about it at the conference. But this preclear refused to have this run on her because it was a psychotic technique. And yet when she just touched one side of this room and walked across this room to the other side of the room and was asked, "Now, is this at a distance from the wall which you just handled just before you touched the wall you're now touching?"

Furthermore, the results of subjective techniques are most markedly boundaried by this: The person knows he is better but nobody else does. All right, that's a remarkable and miserable thing, if you come to think about it.

"Oh, yes. Yes, a different wall."

In this country, this country here - I think this is the United States this morning - the fact of personal relationships is probably poorer than any other part of the globe. The United States today is much more able with MEST - much more able with MEST - than other nations. It's just at a wonderful inverted 6; real good at inverted 6. This country sneers at other nations for not being so inverted at 6.

"How do you know?"

America today believes it has reached its highest level of aesthetic with metal. Is this anything peculiar to this society? I just happened to remember that it hasn't changed since 1621. An artist was permitted to work with wrought iron in the seventeenth century, but if he worked with anything else they burned him or something, excommunicated him, shot him. Because it was wicked and vicious and vile to fiddle around with paint and other folderol.

"Because I can see the facsimile of a wall I just touched right in front of my face."

We find Paul Revere, a remarkable artist, working in copper and silver. And we find other people in the American scene working with metal. America can make metal very beautiful. It's always, then, in its culture itself; had a stick at an inverted 6.

We go across the room again and touch the radiator; make sure it's real. And we come across to the other side of the room, touch the wall again. "Now, what did you touch just before you walked across the room?"

When we got the Hessians - when they disbanded those Hessian regiments after they were captured at Saratoga and were put in barracks in Boston, it was much easier just to forget about them than to pay the king for them that lent them to the British. These men were wheelwrights, blacksmiths; they were tradesmen. Remarkable country over there that had sold its artisans and tradesmen into the military.

"Radiator."

Almost as remarkable as modern day whereby we sell all the youth and brains of the country into the army. "Yuh-huh! Well, huh-huh, we got a president, for a -he was a general and it's all very sensible. The thing to do to get everybody up high-toned, you know, so we'll have a good civilization is take everybody when he's eighteen years of age, you know, and put him in the army so he gets well drilled."

"How do you know?"

If the country doesn't fall on its face because of this idiocy, it won't be Truman's and Eisenhower's fault, believe me.

"I-I see this facsimile of it right in front of my face."

I tell you frankly, speaking strictly as a scientist, which I can speak as, and as a pretty good sailor - I can speak that way, too - I can tell you, confidently, that modern methods of warfare don't happen to require manpower. You don't want anything to do with manpower; they get in your road. You don't want the enemy to mobilize either because that makes some of his populace safe; it puts them in front-line trenches. If you were today to hire five thousand scientists and about five thousand hot rod kids for applicators, you could practically wipe out life on Earth, which I think is the end goal of war. You could. You just give them their head and say, "Well, let's go boys; let's figure it out," and away you'd go. The problem is not a problem of manpower.

"Well now where is the radiator which you just touched?"

Yet, America today is striving madly with its educational programs, with every other government program, to depress the thought level to thought only. Well, let's just kind of make everybody into an automaton who thinks.

"Right here in the facsimile."

One of our great universities - they made them take the red lights off the girls' dormitory recently; and the faculty finally got rid of seven or eight of the communist professors they had there and they - they've got it pretty well straightened out - they've cut down the number of class in class there from 400 to 398; real progress - the University of California. This great educational institution has signs - down in the Los Angeles branch of it - has signs all over the place: "You're here to learn how to think."

People have been trying to run engrams on this case. People have been trying to run all sorts of things on this case.

I can show them how to fix up kids so they think. I can show them real easy how to fix up kids so they think. Just give them a lot of psychiatric electric shocks. They'll think; they won't be able to do anything but look [think] when they do that to them. Or just simply take brickbats and start hitting them. And if you hit them enough and shot at them enough and gave them enough shocks, they'd really think. It's the slow method to educate them into it. Unfortunately, I've had to do with some of the graduates of this great institution during this late slight riffle in international affairs. I found each one of them was very capable of thinking but he sure couldn't act! He couldn't even vaguely act. He couldn't get into motion; he couldn't complete a cycle of action. You'd say, "Go down and get a can of paint," and he would come back three hours later by saying he had signed in the wrong line of the requisition place or something and he was very confused and he didn't have...

The condition of a psychotic is so heroic, so bloody, so terrible, that of course it follows immediately by Q and A that one can only use, then, heroic, bloody and terrible techniques, doesn't it? And yet these are the people that have to be processed with a powder puff. Oh, how lightly. Oh, how lightly.

[Please note: At this point in the lecture a gap exists in the original recording. We now rejoin the class where the lecture resumes.]

But to show you how far you can go with a technique just as a case history: I actually had this person well exteriorized and blowing things up before I ran room contacts. A little bit rough at first but pushed her right on through it.

Continuing this morning lecture.

Now, this person is a cat person. There's some of that in the Doctorate tapes. There's seventeen or so races which have come down to us. There's the snake people. There's the bear people, the cat people. There's a dog people. These things key in simply on animals and the only reason we're calling them cats, birds, dogs, bears, snakes, something like that, is because that's as close as you come down here. There's a canary people. We just have a word and the word says "canaries" - it's not canaries. But it's something that vaguely resembles Earth canaries so there's your key-in.

The toleration of motion of a nation is very poor indeed where thinkingness is its largest goal. Everybody is supposed to be thoughtful in this country and believe me, they really get thoughtful.

And this case was a cat person. With explosions and with actual room techniques, I changed the color and expression of this person's eyes. Took me two and a half hours, but I changed the color of her eyes from almost washed-out blue to hazel brown. So I knew I'd effected a communication change.

A test of this: You will find that if you put in charge of an organization as its hiring and firing agent a person who is afraid to hurt other people, he will wind up by murdering not only them but the organization itself. In other words, this is intensely impractical as a solution - but intensely impractical!

Now, here is an acute state of energy scarcity, which is space scarcity, which manifests itself on what we call an "inverted dynamic." And today we're going to talk about these inverted dynamics (and I was right on schedule). And this case doesn't particularly exemplify this, but this person on explosions began to tell me, "Yes, I'm right up there." Now, just get that phraseology again. "Yes! I know I'm exteriorized - I'm right over there in the corner." We follow this?

In the first place, conclusions are not reached by thinking as it is fondly believed to be thought by the public at large. People do not reach conclusions by sitting down and saying, "Now I am going to think." If they do they're going to be wrong.

Boy, fan your ears for that on a preclear. Just fan your ears real well, because they're on an inverted dynamic. All right. Cover that later, but that's - that's terrific. That is just simply the best doggone psychometry you possibly could ever lay your hands on. That's Dianometry. That's Scientometry.

We even have a national penchant here not to think - not to act, rather, impulsively - to think first and act later. I know of a large secret organization in this country which has as one of its mottoes: "Think twice before acting once." Well, that's a way to slow everybody down, isn't it?

Here we have a case that is so swimming around in personally generated energy, and she's dodging her own energy much more than she's dodging her own body or MEST objects. Yet, this case is still moving, walking straight up and doing pretty well. Doing pretty darned good.

Well, what are we going to do one of these days for executives? What are we going to do one of these days for somebody to build a bridge? Everybody's in the little red schoolhouse now. What the hell is going to happen with this metal down here when we no longer have somebody sufficiently - sufficiently screwball to push around one of those big trucks, like the one that just walked away out there - ten tons worth of truck!

Computation on the case is, of course - I look at the case - cat people. She was auditing people at a distance: other people's problems. See what the computations are? How fast they come out? Why cat people? Her eyes look like cat's eyes, that's all.

We have a need in this country for people of action. Every success you ever ran into anyplace was good at action and very, very poor at sitting still.

Well, how do cat's eyes look? They look just like a cat's eyes and you don't have to stretch your imagination a doggone bit. They're not necessarily the color of cat's eyes, but if you'll notice a cat's eyes sort of sweep up. The shape of the outer lid - that is to say, the lid of the eye, the amount of eyeball exposed - it's long and slitty and swept up at the end. Very recognizable.

Now, it is true that education can be effective when you are dealing with essentials as how to become active though educated. As long as you are dealing with that, you're all right. As long as you're on that line, nothing bad with it.

I know four or five of these cases that are very extreme - keyed way in. Well, all these cat people have about the same computation, so it's awful easy. They - any adventure, misadventure they had with a cat when young - oh, there's a beautiful explanation for why they are cat people. And they had trouble with Papa and cats, or Mama and cats, inevitably and invariably.- It should strike you as rather strange that practically everybody has the same sort of incident but it only keys in on one person.

But to sit down and become cultured by memorizing the names of 875 paintings, 662 symphonies, and to know whether to say "Oh!" or "Aw!" when looking at a famous painting... Well, you see, that method of becoming cultured will wind up in no art.

So don't-don't-don't get - don't - I know none of you would do this, but don't let some auditor you're training get super, super brilliant, let him draw this fantastic conclusion that the incident about the cat is the incident for which he's searching and is an incident, and that these people who are fascinated with cats and so forth... A cat person isn't necessarily fascinated with cats. They practically never talk about cats unless you push them. That's the difference between people who are just enamored with cats and cat people.

This country right now has a chance of pulling upstairs but it's doing everything it can to go downstairs. It has a wonderful opportunity because of its food supply, not because of its culture, to start pushing out across the world - a wonderful opportunity. But is it? All right.

If this character, this auditor, dreams this up as an explanation, he will then run the incident and hang the case up on the track the like of which you never saw anything hung up on a track. A cat person will hang up on a track when the childhood cat incident is run. Now, you can think this is very, very strange, but the cat involved and the cats involved don't happen to be Earth cats. They are flying cats. And you can run flying cats on these people and it's quite shocking to them, to say the least.

Subjective reality is the last one you want because it's the computation, the "only one."

But they all have an incident whereby Papa drowned cats, Mama killed cats or they strangled cats. And when looked for, you find this incident and there it is and there - leave it alone. Just leave it alone. It's just a key-in. And if they're down the groove on this at all, they've got so much past history on it and it has happened so often and there are so many incidents under it and it will so confuse them to run it, they're in no condition to run it. There you go.

In America people can live in apartment houses for years and never know who lives next door. That is a result of pulled-in anchor points. Be pretty hard to figure out how anybody could manage this but they sure do.

A cat people, unlike the snake people - snake people are unauditable, practically, because they sort of slither around everything you say and do. They're very, very unmistakable people.

People drive down highways here at a mad rate of speed. Somebody gets a flat tire, "Hell with him; he's in the road." That's not high-toned; that's real low-toned.

Well, you know, I'm talking to you here you think very seriously about these kinds and brands of people and you might, therefore, do well just to simply memorize all these people - this isn't the point. It doesn't matter whether there is such a thing as a cat tribe that got imported into this universe or not. But the computation is the reverse computation of the cat.

So, what do we find here as a change? We find a change in the people themselves. Not too long ago, it was actually possible for the people of this country to get a flat tire and be assisted bounteously. That's only about thirty years ago. Gee, you passed a car someplace, something like that, and you were just as like as not to stop, and say, "Hello. How are you? What are you going? What are you driving?" Never been introduced to this fellow.

The cat's computation is "Oh, how independent we have to be." There is nothing quite as contemptuously independent as a cat. And there is nothing so frantically helpful as a cat person. They do not bear that personality characteristic. Call them cat people just because they have eyes like cats. All right.

Move into a new neighborhood; people came over and asked how you were getting along. They didn't look through drawn blinds to see what furniture was being unloaded from the van. Now they don't even do that; they don't even try to find out what your furniture is like before it's moved in. This is just simply the "only one" computation keying in, keying in, keying in further and further and further and further and further.

"Other people's problems”, you’ve seen that. That's quite a button. Well, when it becomes the case computation, thoroughly, a hundred percent, you realize that somebody must be trying to atone or pay for something which is impossible to pay for. And it's just hopeless. These poor cat people. However they got into this universe I don't know. But they're completely lost. They're completely helpless. They are utter final bait for anybody who wants to clip them or gyp them or swindle them - they're trying to help. And if you were to tell a cat person that he or she couldn't help, they'd spin. Just like a spinning top, away they go.

Thinkingness - resist with your anchor points; fight the MEST universe. Well, all that winds up with is thinking. And by golly, when you complement that with education and when you complement it with psychotherapy and when you get the entire goal of psychology concentrated on nothing but thinking, you've got trouble. You've got trouble in science; you've got trouble in thinking in general throughout the country. The most astonishing things occur.

You tell any psychotic that he can't help, if you don't find something for him to do, oh boy, you're liable to just pull the string on him. He's gone - round and round and round and round.

Some fellow comes across with some kind of a something or other; boy, everybody is told what to think about it. You have a fellow by the name of Gabriel Hotrod who tells everybody what to think about it, and so everybody thinks that. You go down on the corner and after a program like that, you want to know about this situation, why, you can find out about it; you'll find the same opinion you've heard over the air fifteen minutes before. This is real good. This is exterior determination but thorough.

I've seen three of them have psychotic breaks immediately following a hint from me that they couldn't help. So, after these things happen, and so on, I always find something for them to do. This is no clue to it at all, but I always tell them to do something. But remember, you don't have to be sequitur with such - such a case level, you don't have to be sequitur When they say, "Help," you just define help for them right then and there. And the best way for them to help is ____, and then you just define it. I don't care what you tell them to do. Make sure that people don't get parking meters overstuffed or overtime; have some nickels in their pockets when they walk down the streets and put them in parking meters for people whose parking meters have run over. Anything! Anything. Anything at all.

Is this thinking a method of reaching a usable conclusion? No! Because what they're calling "thinking" is circuitry, and it is not a good method of reaching a usable conclusion.

Tell them that the best movement in the country is the Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts and the best thing they can do is go and take Dianetics or Scientology or something into that group or troupe or something. But give them something to do, for God's sakes! Just don't leave them standing there, because they'll - they'll spin on you.

I put a car once - there had been a terrific storm and a tree blew down across the road and there was electric-light lines lying all through the wet foliage of this tree and several thousand volts crackling through there. And I was going along at a fairly low speed, although the wind was still high and the street was still wet. And there was a little knoll just on the other side, a little roll in the road, a little crest there just on the other side of this big tree and a truck came booming up over that rise. I was going pretty slow, about twenty-five miles an hour. Well, there was a spot underneath this tree which was free of all the light wires, which was just the height of the car hood and so I simply inserted the car's hood underneath the tree. Didn't scratch anything. It stopped the car very thoroughly and got it out of the road of the truck.

You say, "Well, there isn't anything you can do here, really," so on and so on. Away they go. Wham-wham! Bad deal.

And that was the first time I ever found out that you didn't think about anything. It suddenly occurred to me later - I went over the thing very carefully, thinking it over - and I said that's very remarkable. There wasn't a single thought that crossed my mind the whole operation. Golly, that's a relief; I said to myself. Not a single thought.

Conversely, you could take one in a terribly bad spin and if you had them in an emergency area of some sort or other where work was actually going forward like a hospital or insane asylum, if you just suddenly said to one of them, "Here! Give me a hand calming this fellow down!" They'd just snap sane right then. They'd probably stay sane. It takes an emergency situation to give them that much juice suddenly.

You'll find in any spontaneous action where you've done exactly the right thing, you didn't sit around and think about it, you just acted.

Well, all right, I got away with processing out Papa and cats by not processing Papa and cats. I just simply had her blow up men and women and herself and cats and then I had her holding cats and the cats were cursing her. And they were going to get even with her and she had to throw them out away from her and have them explode. And she'd get another cat - she'd produce this new cat - and the cat would curse her and say he was going to get even and she'd throw him out and explode. Well, she really was grooving down the line on this, see? She blew up more doggone cats than you can count.

Well, what's this? It means that when you get time into thought you have injected MEST into thought and all that MEST is going to do for you is just lie down and be apathetic. When you put time into thought you inject MEST into thought.

And in the process of this, I ran another technique I'll tell you about, whereby you get something to create something to create something to create something. The Quaker Oats technique, we call it - the mock-up within the mock-up within the mock-up within the mock-up. You know on those - some breakfast food boxes, you see a picture of the breakfast food box on the box of breakfast food. And it's got on it a picture and that's got a picture of a box of breakfast food on it and it runs on, on down. I think several artists have gone psychotic trying to get in the last box of breakfast food in the pictures.

Now, there's no sense in trying to take MEST out of thought when we're dealing with circuitry because that's the trouble with it; there isn't any MEST in it to a sufficient quantity. It had MEST in it and now it hasn't got the MEST in it anymore, so it's on an inverted 6. It had MEST in it and now it hasn't got any MEST in it and after that it goes onto thinking.

Anyway, here we have this case, which is just bank completely starved for energy. And yet under good auditing, energy was under complete obedience. So we found another - found a prime button, "Afraid to get old." And if you add this up, you'll realize what a button that is. It's in a lot, in fact, the majority of old people. How do you know it is? Because they go psychotic. How do they go psychotic? They turn into senility. They've been pushing the time track and locking themselves up in time so hard that they push themselves back into childhood and restimulate it so that they won't be old. Fighting age, fighting time. Time is the single aberration. Okay.

Now, someday when you're flying around the universe amusing yourself; you'll probably want to amuse yourself with a thinking machine. I'll tell you how to make one.

Let's - let's see how we do this. All right. We blow up old people. We blow up old people and we blow up old people's voices and we blow up old people's sight and we blow up their hearing and we blow up their teeth. These - you know, teeth is one of the most intimate communication perceptions a person has - crunch! Very intimate.

You take a little piece of space with nothing in it and then start building around it shells of energy; you build actual shells of energy around this little space. And now get on the outside of about fifteen or twenty shells, which are concentric (all of them concentric in spheres, you see, around this little, tiny space), and shove like hell from all sides simultaneously, at a tremendous crush - pam. And because you put the energy there and because there is an aliveness to it every time it's addressed - I mean, because there is an aliveness potential to it, every time it's addressed by a piece of live energy, the live energy will behave in a certain fashion. It will behave to give back a computation. This is a thinking machine. That's all there is to it - crush! That's it.

Anyway, just keep blowing these up, see, in big quantity, way up in space and so on.

Now after that anytime energy tries to get in through those crushed spots, it'll find itself running through hollow spots and vacuums which are distorted. And this distortion will make the energy behave so that you can feed any kind of a thought in there and it'll come out the other side with some other kind of a thought; and that's thinking.

Well, before I'd done very... And then - then we turn around and we have little children in mobs with this great determination in them that they're going to grow up. And of course that's what's the maybe. For the first part of a person's life, he's got to be old. For the last part of a person's life, he's got to be young. And between these two when they lock up on the complete maybe you get senility. Okay.

Thinking is the conversion of a postulate into a reason. And this is simply done by distorting it. And when you get a distortion pattern parallel to another distortion pattern you get an agreement in thinkingness. And if everybody accepts this as reasonable, why, then you've really got it; you've really got everything you went for - the worst parts. Okay?

Blew this up and what do you know? She was saying, "Well, we were five thousand feet up, see." And here she was saying, "Yeah, the mock-up is right out in front of me. And there's a platform under it. I've got this platform under it and there's this and there's that and so forth and ..."

Subjective reality is the reality one gets on a change occurring in such a compression sphere. If he can change the center of the compression sphere, he now has a subjective reality on thinkingness - a change in thinkingness. And that's what you do when you run a button; you distort or change the center of compressed space in a thinking machine.

In other words, by the time we'd done what I've just described to you in various ways, and done nothing else but this, we had this person actually exteriorized. What do you know! They weren't exteriorized and detached from the exteriorization. They weren't on the - in other words, we'd inverted the dynamic. They were - this person was five thousand feet up, see?

It's kind of a game. If you had this desk up here covered with little ENIACs and UNIVACs and the game you'd be playing is "Let's see if we can put a powerful enough thought and hold it long enough in each one of these UNIVACs or ENIACs to cause the thought to alter." Now, we put enough pressure on these machines and enough voltage in them so we will actually get an alteration of the thinkingness - you've got subjective processing.

They weren't here saying that - here over to the left - saying that the thetan is five thousand feet up having exteriorized it from the body. See, they are exteriorized already! Then they have to take something out of the body and send it five thousand feet up, see, and audit it. But this person really exteriorized and pam! went into valence as herself and was considerably easier and the color of her eyes flicked suddenly; it was quite an amazing sight. Her eyes kept going kind of flickery and all of a sudden - pow-pow!

And the end goal of subjective processing is the reduction, removal and discarding of these UNIVACs and ENIACs. That's what you're trying to do, see? You want to change those to a higher level, so you want to change each one. Well, the reductio ad absurdum is you put enough juice through them so that they distort more and more and then distort less and less. And you will get your UNIVACs and ENIACs and so forth eventually melting and running away. And then you have, not only a cleared desk, but you have cleared up thinkingness.

And one of the techniques I use which I omitted there was I had her blowing up eyes - just lots of eyes. When she first tried to put up two eyes they kept slapping together, naturally - double terminal. But eventually got her blowing up eyes in tremendous quantity. "Eventually" - within three minutes. All right - from the moment she first began to have trouble with eyes to blowing them up by the billions - individually, collectively. At first she couldn't blow up green eye - blue eyes; she could blow up brown eyes. And we blew up the brown eyes and we blew up the blue eyes. And her eyes were evidently trying to keep from being brown eyes or something of the sort, which accounted to some degree for the color shift. All right.

When a person is running postulates on himself; on somebody else, he can achieve an effect anytime he wants, so long as he isn't running one of these compression balls of energy. If he's running one of these things, he's trying to change the characteristic of distortion. And his end goal and the finish of the cycle on changing it, is simply its disappearance. You see that?

Then we finished up with completely objective techniques. Now, these techniques - any of these techniques, you see, are quite valid for any level of any case. But these objective techniques particularly so. And if you want to get a line charge on a pc, you follow this technique.

So taking apart a thinking machine merely depends upon just taking it apart. That's all. That's all you do; you just take it apart. But the more shocks you put into it, the harder it's compressed, the more it thinks. So electric shock is not the answer in how to remove a thinking machine.

How about you standing? You're handiest there, John.

Can a person think with a thinking machine? Well, no. You see, actually what they do is they say, "I have a thinking machine out here in front of me and what I'm going to do is run a thought in one end and get an answer out the other end. Now, let's see; if I put the answer out this end I'll be sure and get a right answer. Now I'll forget I did that. And now I'll run the thought through," and the thought comes out to the other end and you get an answer. A thinking machine - MEST thinking.

Now stand up over by the window and look inboard toward a spot here. Now you say to the spot here, "How are you?"

Do you know... You ever see one of these fellows who could look at this tremendous column of figures everybody has written down and then write down the answer? There is some - used to have Japanese in vaudeville, and so on, that did this. They'd write upside up and upside down with their left hand and right hand simultaneously, and then they'd do mathematical problems. They'd have six columns of figures and they would have fifty of them in the same column and the second that was presented to them, they would write down the answer. Well, you can do that. There isn't any sense in adding them up because - mostly because there's no sense in arithmetic.

Male voice: Mm-hm.

Arithmetic is just a method of slowing down thinking process. And if you want to slow down your thinking a trifle you can get any arithmetical answer, but if you think you have to speed up and work with and inject time into your arithmetic, you're in a hell of a spot.

Well say it!

Okay. Let's envision the picture of this machine. It's got a hollow spot in the center. It's got a lot of shells around it composed of old facsimiles and impacts and so forth. They'll distort, see. They'll distort a channel. And sphere after sphere after sphere, more or less, is on the outside of it. And then it's been pushed like hell and you've got a thinking machine. And let's - let's really take a look at what we're running because that's what it looks like when you get outside and take a look at it.

Male voice: How are you?

Now, you feed it - a little current into it, a little life energy, a little life current here into one side of it with a little postulate and it'll go around and around - zoom! zung! zung! zum! And some of these are real tricky.

I don't know. Come over here. Turn around and face the window and refuse to answer. Okay, go back there.

The slowest one I ever saw was nine years! The answer turned up nine years after the question. But your Q and A on such a thing ought to be instantaneous and every time you introduce MEST into it, it gets less instantaneous. This is just a problem in Q and A; a thinking machine is something that keeps the answer from being the thing. See? We take a coin and we face the coin up one side as the question. The answer to it, of course, is that it's a coin; there isn't any further answer to it.

Turn around and face this spot again and say, "What's wrong with you?"

But now we address a thinking machine to this problem, and it says, "Let's see now, a coin? A coin is a unit of exchange. And it goes all through the society and it does this and it does that. It's made by the US Government. The government is empowered to issue money, and so on and so on”. Well, about - oh, God. If you wanted to read something about - just get the word coin down at the local library and you'll see there's a lot of books on the subject. Those are just thinkingnesses.

Male voice: What's wrong with you?

Well, that's all very fascinating. But the point is, is it's an activity on the part of some other group than yourself or part of your own group to get you to use mutual anchor points; that's all a coin is. You just use these mutual anchor points. And if you're using mutual anchor points, of course, you consider that you're equal; and democracy has succeeded.

All right. Now refuse to answer it.

There have been very few military aristocracies which have ever used coins - very few. Military aristocracy is different than a military dictatorship - military aristocracy.

All right, go back over there again. Now look at this spot here and say, "You've got to answer me!"

Some of the old castles on the knolls in France tell you this story very well. The minute the guy would sit down - good old forte main, you know - and he'd say, "Well, we're protecting all the peasants around here and that's why you are bringing up all your produce to us." The peasants wouldn't and they'd get a little revolt or something of the sort, so he'd just put on a few more recalcitrants as men-at-arms and the provisions would roll up to the top of the hill, and the wine would roll up to the top of the hill. And it was defying gravity but certainly the military aristocracy was seldom defied, except by another military aristocracy. Here was the use of force in the extraction of gain. They didn't have coins.

Male voice: You've got to answer me!

Somebody invented coins about the time of the Crusades and said you had to have gold to take a passage across the Mediterranean; you had to have gold to pay ransoms. It ruined all the military aristocracies of Europe. They found out that it didn't matter how many moneylenders you shot, hacked, burned, killed, hung, people still went on with this stuff; because the peasants fell for it. They had - all had mutual anchor points already - all kinds of mutual anchor points. Communal state: everybody owned the pig - a mutual anchor point - so it was very easy to say to them, "Well now, you see that little, little, tiny piece of copper; well, that's a pig. Huh." Interesting, but it's also a bushel of wheat. Well, that's very interesting but it is also a new suit. Peasants were confused. They'd fall for this. Obviously, to them everything was A A A A anyhow so a coin could buy anything, see? You'd say a new - a new suit made out of silk is two of these things. Well, they could make a mistake between quantity and quality, and so on.

Turn around. Now say, "What do you want to know?"

You look at this stuff - there is nothing but a bundle of errors. If you start - because all the reason under God's green earth has been applied to this. If you want to know about reason, look at money.

Male voice: What do you want to know?

You go down here to the local library and you'll find Alexander Hamilton on the subject of banking. This is the most idiotic thing you ever heard of. The United States Government in its Constitution was very well authorized and extremely well authorized and very pleasantly authorized to issue its own currency. And this joker by the name of Hamilton, up to the day of his "regretted" demise, kept explaining to the government how the government couldn't have any credit unless it was in debt and why all his buddies up around New York ought to be the fellows that held the debt. And that this was much better and so they defied the Constitution and continue to do so until today by the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States which has no connection with the government; it is a private bank. Everybody thinks it's a government bank; it's not. Your money has got Federal Reserve Bank all over it. That's not money; that's a private issue. But there are silver certificates and stamps, so on; these are money as far as the government issuing and obeying the law which everybody agreed on.

All right. Go over there again.

The rest of this stuff is spewed out of the printing presses and sent up to New York to the Federal Reserve Bank with their name on it, and so forth, and it becomes legal currency. How they managed that in the first place is nothing but the most marvelous piece of insanity you ever heard of.

Male voice: This is driving me ragged. I'm wearing out.

All right, up there at the Federal Reserve Bank, how do they get the government to issue money? Well, it runs something like this: They have a big ledger, see, and they write down one billion dollars in the ledger and then they write down to the government, "We've just written one billion dollars down in our ledger," so the government sends them up a billion dollars' worth of bonds. Then they buy these bonds off the government and then the Federal Reserve Bank, having gotten these bonds off the government, you see, can then issue a billion dollars' worth of currency. So they issue the billion dollars' worth of currency and there it goes and it's all printed by the government and the government sends it a small printing bill.

Say - just say, "Are you all right?"

I think the only interchange in it is the five or six hundred dollars it takes to print a billion dollars' worth of currency. I don't know who puts that up but it's probably put up by putting it down in the ledger too. You look in vain to find this money represent anything but a figure in a ledger put down by some clerk.

Male voice: Are you all right?

But here we're getting - people are getting shot for this stuff! People will sweat their guts out building this and that and something else just to get ahold of this stuff! A woman will sell her virtue for this stuff! Wonderful! Just wonderful stuff and yet we can't find it coming from anyplace except somebody writing down a figure in a ledger and saying to the government, "Well, you've now got to issue us bonds."

Now say, "I'm fine now that you started talking to me”.

Well, how this outfit could write it down in the ledger and tell the government to issue it bonds, I don't know, because this outfit doesn't have any hoods, or any gunmen or any soldiers. So, it must be that the government must be running by a bunch of people who have an agreement with these people up there which is kind of behind the scenes. "Look, every time you write that billion bucks down, why, slide a few dollars sideways this direction and we'll be all set. Ah-ha!"

Male voice: I'm fi ... Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine now that you started talking to me.

We've disenfranchised the American people from the right of making money. So, this puts the control of the country someplace where it's not supposed to be but this is very valuable stuff. But when - you get how all this reason - it's not reasonable. If you really look at the backbone of money, you won't find anything reasonable about it.

Okay, that's - that's - this technique, it just goes on along this line.

The only thing about deflation and inflation, they discovered during the war, is when a country has too many goods and too little money it has deflation. When a country has too few goods and too much money you have inflation.

Okay, this is - demonstrates to you that you can very closely approximate mock-up Q and A on this line and it just works beautifully. Okay.

Sounds awful simple to me. A country which has inflated currency just better make some more goods or it better take some money out of circulation. That's easy to do. If it was created by writing a figure in a ledger sheet, it is sure easy to take it out of circulation; you just erase it.

Now, did this, and came right on up the line.

And as far as deflation is concerned, all the government has to do with deflation throughout the whole thing, all the government has to do with a deflate is simply print some more money. Of course, if then - if somebody had to put it down in the ledger in the first place before they could print it that would leave the government deeply in d..

Well, anyway, the techniques not to run on this case - actually, one was taking a chance by running explosions, because one saw that obviously we had an inverted dynamic. This case is not what you would call psychotic - not even vaguely. The case is on a balance, however, between what you might call "Theta universe" and this universe, to a point where the body - it's much more easier to substitute a mock-up for the body - you know, give the mock-up more validity than the body.

I see I'm looking at a fellow here by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt; he was a great man. By the way, I'll have to tell you about cripples someday. Anyway.

Now, this case could be in terrifically bad condition and most cases, in that case's boots, are in bad condition. This case happened to be moving very, very well for this condition.

When they really got going, they got the economics so fouled up that nobody can untangle them. Why can't anybody untangle them? Well, that's because they've all gone through a process of reason or evolution. Well, nobody can untangle all of this, because it's all in the past.

Now, an invalidation of the case had occurred which blew off in several different auditing sessions. And the invalidations were just the basis "Oh, that technique is too much for you." She wanted to run a certain technique, so - so on. "That technique is too much for you."

Let me ask you something: Did it ever exist? Did it ever exist? No, not actually. Masses of energy filtering through various reasons and giving parts and changes of form. Well, it's all right. You can do that to a certain degree and you'll get a certain amount of randomity. But when you push it too hard, its falsity shows up and you start getting minus randomity, immediately.

And she came up to me, really, to find out whether or not she was all right. I told her she was all right and she was. Felt lots better. People had been worrying her.

You start depending on this thing called reason and it just doesn't give you randomity. Up to a certain point, introducing reasons into something is simply injecting arbitrary stops in games. That's all. That's what reason is. It's just a method of limiting play so that there can be two or more sides to a play; and that's what the first entrance into reason is.

Now, but this is an interesting session just from that basis. It took a long time to run from a basis of just time - two and a half hours' worth of auditing on this sort of thing and yet we were auditing with pretty good rapidity.

Now, the next entrance into reason is forgetting some of the rules that have been injected in the game. Now, if you can substitute for this with superstition, you can take the phases of the moon and say whether or not they're going to do the future for you or something; but it gets kind of unreasonable from there on down.

Gave this technique: The idea of the hand across the mouth and I had her say - oh yes, there was another technique I used - I had her say, "The terrible force of words" against her hand. And she agreed with me completely, "Yes, her words had a terrible force." She could feel them, right there. How do you like that? She never did get to the point where words did not have a terrible force because this case is running on a computation where she backs up every word with an energy flow. And she's sufficiently crossed up in universes that when she speaks, she speaks with beams to the mock-up of the person she has made to substitute for the mock-up of the person. Interesting, huh?

It's marvelous that anybody can proceed at all using what is called logic or reasons; it's just marvelous that anybody can proceed doing that. It certainly does speak well for a man's ability to postulate and unpostulate that he can make thinking machines work. He's got to keep putting that answer on one side of the machine and feeding the question to the other side of the machine, and so on. And why he wants that arbitrary machine sitting there, we're not quite sure because he doesn't use it, except to play with.

So, of course, the terrible force of words was definitely there. And every time she would speak like that she would blow the mock-up up. She couldn't keep it from blowing up; she was having a bad time with it. So I had her put her fingers on her windpipe and feel the vibration of the windpipe with her fingers and she finally straightened out very well on that. She blew that and then I ran some Comparison.

The scientist looking at this stuff and taking it apart and putting it back together again is just playing a game. Everybody teaches this game as something very serious and threatens you with mayhem, and so forth, if you flunk some science course.

But I ran another technique - a live technique, that is to say, not a mock-up technique - having her run this - none of these are psychotic techniques; these are just techniques - I had her say, "Dirty word" and then rush - jump out of the chair and - I'll show you.

The truth of the matter is, I had to unlearn everything I ever knew about science in order to get going on the subject of science - to find out something about it. Because science is a search for data.

Sit right there.

Data is the substance of a thinking machine. Data has no existence except a flock of postulates. Now, you get this data all massed up in one lump and shoved together and crushed down - now, somebody starts to do some research with his mind and oh, boy!

Turn your chair around. You - get your chair now. Turn your chair sideways.

There's a central postulate sitting in there. One of the rules of the game is you mustn't fool around with the rules of the game or the thinking machine. You mustn't fool around with this because just like if you yanked the curtains back on any altar, you'd find there was nothing on its platform. Really, there's nothing on its platform; there's a piece of MEST but it doesn't have any life.

Okay. Now say, "Dirty word." Sit down in your chair. Now say, "Dirty word."

The mystery: The most mysterious thing about any mystery is that there's no mystery. The secret - the secret of the MEST universe is that there is no secret. The secret of the preclear is that he has no secret.

Male voice: Dirty word.

You start to run this concept and he gets this awful foolish feeling of very - poof! - very intense!

Now reach out and grab it.

"Now, let's run the fact that you have no secrets. Now that you have secrets; that you have no secrets." And boy he can really thrash up some there for a little while and all of a sudden the machine he has been fooling himself with starts to fold up on him. And the second this machine starts to fold up, he gets in very bad order. And he starts to feel embarrassed and he'll start to squirm. He didn't have any sex guilt peccadilloes when he was a small boy at all.

Male voice: Ho-ho! Like that?

Now, psychotherapy in the past has followed this through slavishly. And you, whether you like it or not, have inherited from the field of psychotherapy, whether you ever studied psychotherapy formally or not, you inherit this from the society and the stories. During the last twenty, twenty-five years, writing has more or less gone down into apathy and Freudian psychoanalysis is the keynote used by authors for characterization of characters; the libido theory is carrying through. Well, it makes good plotting because people are interested in it - sensation.

Yeah. And say, "It'll betray me."

But as far as psychotherapy is concerned, in the past it dealt with subjective material. Once in a while somebody dashed up and got something like psychodrama going. That's all right; it's all right; it was at least an effort. But then, by God, he had to work out the reason why with psychodrama. See, psychodrama would've worked if they'd just omitted the reason why.

Male voice: It'll betray me.

People don't talk now, very well, in this society really because they're afraid their words will betray them; they have been taught by their literature, by movies, by examples on every hand, that their words may betray them.

Now hide it.

Psychology and Freud's associative word plays have reduced this - general semantics: done the same thing - that if you utter a word it means that you're masking another word. You know? If you use a certain concatenation of words, you will find out that this concatenation of words may betray the fact that when you were a little boy or a little girl - well, really.

Male voice: I hid it.

Well, we ran this on John yesterday; I was just saying, "A word will betray you." And he just suddenly decided, "Well, no. It won't betray me." Of course, that's the easiest thing in the world to decide because it's the blunt truth.

Hide it!

But the society at large gets people worried about this. The first thing wrong with your preclear: He's afraid his words, appearance and action will betray him; he's afraid of this.

Male voice: Oh!

Fear of fear is your primary setup. A man is afraid of being afraid. He is not afraid. Get the difference. A man is never afraid. Nobody is ever afraid from one corner of the universe to the other. A man is afraid of being afraid.

Physically.

The only thing wrong with thinking is that it is about thinking.

Male voice: Okay, I'll put it in my pocket.

You actually, back on the track, have, with malice aforethought, designed thinking machines. And your preclears have actually built thinking machines to which they are now the effect. They've created the thinking machine and they are now the effect of the thing they created. And that is the second law of magic: Don't get hoist by your own petard; do not become the effect of your own cause.

That's all right. Put it in your pocket. Now say, "Dirty word" again.

Now, as a result, your preclear, subjectively, is floundering around in the midst of a thinking machine.

Male voice: Dirty word. You want me to grab it?

How do you build a thinking machine? You take a little space and you take some shells of energy, and you go crush! And when you get it real compact, you've got a thinking machine. And when you put a little energy in one side of it, it'll wander through and it'll hit this and it'll hit that and it'll come out. Now, these are very complex. The whole universe will do this.

And say, "It'll betray me."

When you take a picture of the universe around you and get a facsimile, you are actually complementing part of this thinking process because all the objects you see are designed from some effort to distort truth so as to get a form.

Male voice: It'll betray me.

There is such a thing as beauty; there is. But where facsimiles are taken of the environment so as to prevent something in the future, you get each facsimile based upon a falsity of reason. And the answer to the facsimile is the facsimile; it's not the words in the facsimile. It's not the perceptions or the colors; it's just the facsimile, that's all.

And hide it. Now, say that again.

You take a picture of an aberrated environment, you've got a picture that is an aberrated picture - naturally - you couldn't do otherwise. So when you take a bunch of these aberrated pictures and start piling them up on top of the thinking machine, why, for heaven's sakes, everything starts going yap-yap and yow-yow and you get people's - people's heads full of talking voices and you get - oh, you get the most marvelous - well I think that a thetan standing outside of one of these things early on the track must have been utterly fascinated!

Male voice: Dirty word. This can go here.

Well, when you catch it out there, say, "It'll betray me."

The factor of surprise - a fellow is always trying to surprise himself with what he'll find out. But one of the best ways to do this... You know, you don't have any future unless it surprises you. If you can predict your future, you're on what I was talking about yesterday; you're on a total predict and that's no fun at all.

Male voice: Oh, yes. Dirty word. It'll betray me.

It's when the fellow falls off of this level of total predict and goes down toward a no-predict that he starts getting into trouble. He goes too far toward no-predict, now he's into plus randomity.

Say it again.

Okay.

Male voice: Oh, this is goofy! Dirty word. It'll betray me. I'm getting my pockets full. Some more?

What are you trying to take apart with subjective stuff? I've been talking a lot here about that. Remember, we've been talking about subjective processing; you're processing a thinking machine.

Go ahead.

Now, if you could just envision it as a box which has been pushed together so as to make it very compressed, so it won't have very much space, so there will be strange pressure areas and so on, and so it itself; when restimulated with a little energy, will then distort the energy; you realize that that is a thinking machine. And if you want to test out whether or not that's a thinking machine, you'll find out that you will understand about everything there is to know about subjective processing.

Male voice: Hm. Dirty word. It'll betray me. Dirty word. It'll betray me.

What the hell is the idea of standing in the middle of the machine thinking? All right, what's the idea of going on running a machine? The only trouble with a preclear is he has run these machines until he's slavishly dependent upon the machine and he thinks he's in the center of the machine.

Go ahead.

He isn't in the center of the machine. Everybody told him to be thoughtful, that he must think, he must think twice before speaking once. He's been told that he must figure everything out; he has no choice but to figure everything out and so he remains in the center of the machine.

Male voice: Dirty word.

And with that, this morning, I am going to give you the most vicious process I know on subjective processing. I want you to run it on cases, particularly the cases that have more occlusion than brightness.

Now think the dirty word as you say "Dirty word" and make a substitute for it.

I hope, by the way, that some of you made the test of the emanation of the rays and stopping them. Did you make that test yesterday?

Male voice: Oh, okay.

Male voice: Yes.

Think the dirty word.

Did you find it amusing?

Male voice: I'm going to get all mixed up here.

Male voice: Yeah. Amusing.

Come on.

You didn't like it?

Male voice: Dirty word. Nah, they won't betray me.

Male voice: I ran it on somebody else.

Okay. Go ahead.

Yeah. And did they find it amusing?

Male voice: Ahh! Neither will I.

Male voice: Yeah.

Okay.

You just want to get some guy aware of the fact that that's what he's doing. He's sending out mock-ups all the time, he thinks, because the MEST universe makes up mock-ups all the time by reflecting, that's all.

Male voice: Dirty word. None of them will!

All right, let's take this subjective process. It's called Perimeter Processing and its keynote is: You can't take a machine apart by sitting in the middle of it.

Well! Turn around. None of them will, huh?

Do you notice that a man trapped in a cave has to be rescued by picks and shovels from the outside? I give you that as the very, very observable: Fellow trapped in a cave has to be dug out. And this process digs the preclear out.

Male voice: No, none of them will.

Let's say the preclear is in a cave, or in a cage, which is the center of the thinking machine. Now, the thinking machine is a sort of a mountain and this shows the preclear how he can take down the mountain and walk out of the machine. He really isn't in the machine but he's so convinced!

Okay. Do it a couple more times.

All right. Yesterday, we talked about the inverted dynamics. Let's look at these inverted dynamics and see them for what they are: It's the extension in terms of distance into the environment. That is the dynamics; the dynamics are extension in terms of distance into the environment.

Male voice: Trying to remember some more dirty words. Okay Dirty word. No, that one won't either.

Eight is furthest away. Now, let's take a series of concentric shells. And these concentric shells go from the outside shell to the inside shell and you can consider that there are eight shells. And the biggest shell outside (this is just for description only) would be called the eighth dynamic. And the next shell inside that would be the seventh dynamic. And the next shell inside that would be the sixth, fifth, fourth, third, two, one. We'll just consider that.

Okay.

A person goes as far into the environment as he is well-off on the dynamics. It is a problem of distance; it is not a problem of subjective reason. A fellow doesn't inhabit the rest of the universe because he's worried about God. He can't inhabit parts of the universe because God occupies all space.

Male voice: Dirty word. Forgot to think of one.

Now, we get down to seven: Spirits occupy some space.

Well, what do you know. Okay, skip it.

Now, we get down to six: Well, there's anchor points out there that don't belong to us. See, they're somebody else's anchor points that's put up in some fashion that's very strange and peculiar.

A person down the line - thank you - a person down the line... Did you feel any pressure coming off in any fashion whatsoever? Did you?

And then you get down to the fifth dynamic and you've got the computation, "Well, actually all these bodies all over the universe are just animals," and so on and they're something else, something else.

Male voice: No, the only thing is that I just - the only thing was that I thought I might say one of them, and then I knew I wouldn't.

Now, let's get down to the fourth and you say, "Well, man is a certain kind of an animal on this planet, and so on, and he's sort of spiritual and he's this way and he's that..." Lots of reason in it.

Okay, now you know you won't.

Now we get down to the third: "I belong to a group who is part of man, but I can't take part in the activities of man; I can only take part in the activities of the group."

Male voice: Yeah.

Second dynamic: "I have to go into the future. I can't stay here in the present."

Well, you'd be surprised how far this would go with a person who is bad off. Every word they say they've got their hands mocked up, dancing in front of their mouth to grab the word and throw it away. They've got beams and things out in front of them to catch things that might - might slip, return them and put them away. They got all kinds of mock-up mechanisms by which anything which might betray them can be caught before it betrays them and then they can stow it. None of you are psycho. You don't appreciate this. But you'll see it. Words are objects to these people.

And the first dynamic - we're talking about inversions, you see - it's -he's all the way in.

This girl, as she did that, had the words exactly located geographically at the time she caught up with them and had to really stretch a couple of times to grab them because they were slipping through the wall. And then after a while sort of decided the same way, you know, "They're not going to betray me. Ha-ha!" That's the only certainty you're trying to reach.

Now, that was going down the cone from the top. See? "God occupies an awful lot of the universe, so I can't occupy it." He loses his eighth, then he loses his seventh, then he loses his sixth, fifth, fourth, three, two, one. Now we start the opposite direction.

Well, that's a sane certainty. But that is the end product of psychoanalysis: "Words will betray you. We'll know all those vile and terrible things about which you're thinking. All we have to do is analyze what you're saying and you have betrayed yourself." It's just a typical MEST universe game. It has the same therapeutic value as the actual commodity which the betrayal represents. None! But it has a reverse value. It is destructive. Why is it destructive to have a person under inspection? Because he might betray himself so he's given the idea on Q and A that he has something which might be betrayed. Q and A, see?

"Well, I have to go up into the future with sex. I'm being forced to, but inhibited from, going into this sensation called sex and I really can't have it."

Everybody is waiting for him to betray himself with a word, which gives him the idea that there is something in his past which he may betray to you. You follow that? Q and A. You manufacture, then, a guilt complex in the person and he doesn't know what he has done, but he knows he must have done something, because he obviously is betraying himself with his utterances and actions. Right?

And then we drop into the third dynamic.

So, we have manufactured a guilt complex about a no-incident. And the incident doesn't exist, so we leave the patient fighting a zero. We leave him fighting nothing in his past. He hasn't betrayed himself because there's nothing to betray in the past. Think this over. I see you're laboring on it. Your wheels are grinding.

And what are we getting here? We're getting the fellow being forced to be bigger than he is. Now he has a form and this form is now being blown up and expanded like somebody shoved an air hose down his throat. And now he's finally forced - he's forced to be number one, then he's inhibited from being number one, now he's forced - as we go down the inverted cones - forced to be two. He has just got to have sex, see, rrrh-rrrh!

Male voice: Has this ever been done for appearances as well as words?

And then all of a sudden somebody comes along and says, "Sex is evil."

Oh, yes! Sure, I mean, you could...

"It is?"

Male voice: Would you just have them mock up out there - a mock-up of appearances?

"Yes. It is so evil that you dare not engage upon it. People who engage on sex very often go to hell if not always. And in hell you burn. We've already shown you what fire is and that's really sex."

You don't mock up anything. You play it in real life if you possibly can manage it.

It doesn't sound logical. Well, who said everything - anything was. So he's inhibited from being the second dynamic.

Male voice: Well, what would you have the person do? Grab an object as an appearance and then...

Now we've got the second dynamic and we've got the inhibition of the second dynamic. And now we've got an enforcement on the third dynamic: "Well, if I can't have sex, I'll have to live as a group. Think I'll join the Communist Party or get a job at Boeing's." Same deal.

Ah, I see what you mean, yes. You don't - you don't run this in a mock-up.

Now he's inhibited as a group. "You can't be a part of this group because the group won't survive and you won't survive and nobody likes you in the group, and so forth."

What I'm trying to put home to you is, you would have - a pimply face - you'd have him put out an array of a pimply face and he reaches out and grabs that, see, and hides it. And he reaches out - and you have him put up the mock-up of a poor or cheap or shabby shirt - and he reaches out, see, and grabs that and hides that. You get the idea? And the whole thought is when he grabs it, he must think "It'll betray me." See?

Well, the guy says, "I'll be - I'll be part of man." And then he realizes man can't last either; wars and things like that disabuse him and inhibits him from being man.

And the other thought is somebody holding a pimply face or a shirt or a dirty word out there - they run right into this immediately, because they get the thing going out and returned, and they finally decide that if they do anything it'll be returned to them. So you bring them up track and then you'll decide people will hold it out on them. And that's ridicule. So you get pimply face, ridicule; cheap shirt, ridicule. Somebody is holding these items out there. "It betrayed me" is the thought which follows with that. Simple, supersimple technique. Idiotically simple.

So he says, "Well, there's always animals; they're always your friend. Dogs are loyal." You'll have a lot of preclears come in and tell you very fixedly, "Well, people are no good, but dogs - dogs are loyal. Dogs - dogs know how you feel. Cats are sympathetic, too, sometimes. Except I do envy their independence. Ha-ha!" Now, we've got number - number - number five. And all of a sudden one day the dog bites him or shoots him or something and we get down to number six.

The fact of the matter is, is everybody is putting out mock-ups all the time in terms of light waves. They can't help but put up these mock-ups in terms of light waves. And these mock-ups are consecutive and continuous and they're radiating out from their body in all directions, obviously, because other people are receiving them.

And the fellow says, "Well, there's always objects. Money is an object. And there's - I can have an object. I - here's this stamp. Did I ever show you my stamp collection?" he says. "Did I ever show you my coin collection?" Well, this starts to get inhibited and he starts to collect the damnedest things. He'll collect - as this thing dwindles out - he will collect the most foul and loathsome things as a tremendous idea. Well, he's collecting things; he s in objects.

So a person gets the idea he continues to put up this mock-up and he decides he doesn't want to put up this mock-up anymore so he goes into occlusion and won't put up mock-ups. You should get that real clear. You should drill on that until you've really got that.

Now he goes down into seven and he has decided he has lived a life of evil and he should pay for all this because Christ's spirit is calling to him. And finally he gets inhibited from being Christ; somebody walks up to him someday and points out the fact that he hasn't healed anybody by looking at them for some time. And having pointed this out is a great shock to him and he realizes this is true and so he can't be Christ because at that level of the Tone Scale all somebody has to say is "You're not succeeding," and he doesn't. Other people's postulates are stronger than one's own postulates any day of the week.

Your face is putting up MEST universe patterns to somebody else, obviously, all the time. So therefore, you are putting out mock-ups which other people are grabbing. And they remember them so they hold them. And if other people keep telling you that they remember what you did or what you looked like - even if it's complimentary - it eventually will get on your nerves something fierce. Because it makes you aware of the fact that you're putting out a mock-up continuously and consecutively from your body out into the air and to the people around you, whatever else you're doing. So the obvious answer for this is try to keep from putting out a mock-up. In other words, become a priest and wear a cassock or something. No, what do they wear - hassocks?

Then he gets down into God and he's in a spinbin someplace in a sanitarium; that's that.

Female voice: Cassocks.

They're inverted dynamics. Well, what is this? This is a problem of really having the whole condemned environment from one corner to the other and having your postulates work in it and then that inverts and goes down to nothing and then is pushed out again to where it's all uninhabitable, but you have to be there anyway.

Male voice: Cassocks.

And you'll find out that your people who are on the lower inversions have to be spread all over the place but they can't be. And they are at some dynamic or other.

Well, you don't put out a mock-up if you possibly can help it.

Perimeter Processing simply takes the outside sphere and runs four consecutive things on it by the preclear who is in the center.

This is the hooded, occluded figure, see? It doesn't want to put out a mock-up. And this is the better way: Every time he sees light, he ducks back in; he's using it like radar. At the same time he's also keeping light waves from putting out a mock-up. Follow? You've got to stop those light waves and keep them from putting out a mock-up.

Let's consider this is the preclear in the middle of the sphere and you have him run at a distance as far as he can think. This is awfully easy because he can do this.

The fact of the matter is you could do that, but that's why and how you got into one of the genuses of mock-ups: facsimiles. Because you don't want to put out a facsimile, so you stopped facsimiles of yourself from going out. See how that is? Because other people receive them and if they receive them and remember them, they are obviously holding them, so they have something of yours which they are holding and it's out away from you and you can't get it back.

"Get as far as you can think, now, in every direction, the thought that explosions are sparking out there; now that there's nothing out there; now that there are black explosions out there; now that there's ...." You intervene nothing there - nothing out there as far as he can think in 360 degrees. And then that you have vacuums out there as far as he can think in all directions. You operate the outside of the shells from the inside. It's as far as he can think in all directions; and that's 360-degree spheres. Now, you make sure, patiently and carefully, that he covers a 360-degree sphere with each one of these.

Auditors fall into a dramatization of this when they're trying to run out facsimiles from people. They're trying to wipe out the mock-ups they have made.

I'll give them to you again. It's very simple, they're the most elementary things we have: (1) Explosions. Make sure that he gets a ring of explosions - just the idea that he's getting explosions - as far out as he could possibly get in 360 degrees from where he is. Preferably as many at a time as possible. You don't run this very long - thirty seconds.

Now you get nothing out there. Just get the idea that there's nothing out there as far as he can think. There's a spot of nothing; not that there is nothing between where he is and it, see, but he thinks that there's a spot of nothing way out there. See?

They're not interested these auditors, at that level of the scale - they're not particularly interested in making a preclear happy or healthy. They just want to wipe out all the mock-ups they've made in the past which are being held by people which makes them, of course, ridiculed.

Male voice: A spot in that shell?

This is not the universe of betrayal. That's obvious. Its waves go in - pound! pound! pound! pound! - and reduce the thetan to zero. And then they turn around and reflect back out and are held at a distance. And nobody wants that last. That last is really fatal. That is the return of the wave. And they're holding these images out at a distance and that is ridicule.

Well, he's - at the outside of the rim of the furthest shell there's a spot of nothing; there's a spot there and a spot there and a spot there. Not that it's nothing all the way around - he can't embrace this. See? It's just like you've got these little, tiny explosions on the outside of the big shell; well, now you get spots of nothing all over there.

And when the sun shines upon Joe, its waves then turn around and reflect back to Bill, and give - whether Joe wants it or not - a mock-up of Joe to Bill. Bill will eventually get impatient about this if Joe shows any disposition not to like Bill. Therefore, this is the "friendly universe"; everybody has to be friendly. The best thing to be in this universe is friendly.

Now you get black explosions all over the most exterior shell and then get nothing, same way, 360 degrees.

And then you get nothing 360 degrees and then follow that up with vacuums. You got the idea; there are little, tiny vacuums - here-here-here-here - all the way around.

And you just keep that up. Do you talk about dynamics? Do you talk about God? No, no! You don't talk about any dynamics or any God or anything else; you encompass the whole condemned works. Because you're just working with areas and distances. And if your preclear is someplace else but inside his body, he'll sure find it out.

& ...se [universe?] and then we see more and more and more that he only copied what he saw. In other words, he was obsessively in communication with a universe that was held in agreement with one and all.

This is not a short process; it is a brutal process. And it should be run. You can bring a person out of it rather easily but he will get somatics. You make him neglect the center of the sphere.

& Now, the CDEI cycle begins at the moment he departs from his own universe. He's curious what would happen if. And if we just wrote that on every tombstone that was out here in every cemetery, we would have the only truthful inscription present. "Dear and loving mother of twelve mourning children," a usual inscription, "Departed from his beloved business and family," another inscription and so on. We look these over, sometimes they're dramatic.

Don't let him run the center of the sphere; he has always been chewing on this! And it's like the miner trying to dig himself out of a cave-in: The second he pulls down a little block of stone the rest of the cave starts falling in on him. And he pulls out another little piece of sand and the rest of it falls in on him again. He can't chew himself out of the middle of it, but he can chew himself out from the outside in. And the joke is, is he's not in there, you see. So if he's not in there, it's very easy for him. And he will eventually go around and start chewing on this shell from the outside. Soon as he does that he says to hell with it.

& Like there's a couple out in Columbia, California that are very dramatic. One of them says, "Killed by a," this is not a direct quote, "Killed by a sniveling skunk that also tried to cheat him at cards." And the next grave to it says, "The sniveling skunk," erected by his brother, the first man's brother. Very interesting, but those things are not necessarily truthful. But if you put it on there, CDEI....

The end product of this is simply to rid the guy of the idea that he's in the middle of a whole bunch of pressure ridges or vacuums. Get him out of the center of the thinking machine, that's all. That's all you have to do with him; just get him out of the middle of the thinking machine.

And this is called Perimeter Processing - explosions, nothing, black explosions, nothing, vacuums. And if you want to go all the way around, you'd run nothing again and explosions and nothing and black explosions and nothing and vacuums and nothing and explosions and nothing.

& ...and eventually becomes homo sapiens, OK? (Well, that's one of the attainments, stopping time...) Well how could you; what is time but a change of location of a particle in space? So if you change the pace of a particle in space, you'd stop time. (That's right.) That's right. And there's your time, time stops.

Now, how long do you run each one of them? Thirty seconds, fifteen seconds. Just keep him rolling till he's got that 360-degree arc. Now, you make sure that he isn't missing some arc because they'll miss in back of them. They're usually up against the thinking machine. They're this way on it; they're kind of outside of it.

& OK. Now we've got this reflective quality down, I hope you recognize that. I want you all to do this little silly exercise. It's very silly, but I want you to turn around with your whole body to stop something, not just with your hands. Just turn around and face your whole body with that mock-up. You know, it's coming out radiation, and then your effort to stop that radiation. Do it a few times. Then get the idea, have somebody else stand up there and you just stand there and try to stop the radiation that's coming from him. He's not doing anything. Let's not go into speech or worry about speech. Let's just realize that this is a matter of a pretty solid mock-up, but it's mock-up, it's universe.

And you'll notice that there's some wicked somatics turn up with this process and that this process is intensely damaging. Now, I want you to run it therefore. I want you - to show you what these subjective processes do to a pc but I also want to show you the anatomy of a thinking machine. Nobody will spin on this, but if anybody gets in trouble in this process, why - if an auditor gets in trouble on this process or something weird or strange or terrible starts to happen, just grab a couple of back corners of the room, let the guy hold on. Very satisfying sort of a thing. If he gets too wobbly then give him a little Self Analysis. If he gets too bad off get ahold of me.

Now, this is no process to run on a psycho. But that's all right. As far as we are concerned anybody in this class can run this process. As far as that's concerned, anybody who has been exteriorized can run this process. As far as that's concerned, anybody who's still pinned inside can run this process.

Male voice: Do you tell them to be on the outside at the beginning?

Oh, no. No ...

Male voice: You don't say that?

.. No, let's not get original; that might help them. You're supposed to run Perimeter Processing from the inside.

Now, as far as your boy who's exteriorized is concerned, the guy who gets out of the body easily, you run this process slightly different. You do the same process but you just get him to hell and gone away from the body while he runs it. And get him to run it on the body. We don't care where he is; get him to run it on the body, see. You got a thinking machine sitting in front of you in the body.

And then, when he's exteriorized, get him to run it around himself as a thetan. Get him to get a quick once-over to the body on this; then get him exteriorized and run it as a thetan. Okay? You run the same process. If he can be exteriorized, tell him to get out, run it around himself

Now, I didn't tell you that this is a helpful process, I merely told you that this is a painful process. Well, I told you also that it ought to be run, not just as a demonstration on you; you're going to have to run it someday, anyway. Because there are sleepers all over a case.

You get somebody and boy they're just coming up the line terrifically, and you go in and you all of a sudden take a look at this case, and you say, "What the hell is the matter with the auditor?" because, my God, this case has a glob of energy sitting about one inch from the nose. Do you have to see the glob of energy to know that it's one inch from the nose? No, you don't. Just look at the condition of the nose. And you say this case is horribly messed up with some kind of a glob of energy.

Well, if you've done the thinking machine (which should possibly be the name of it; Perimeter Processing is the best name), if you've done the thinking machine, why, you would have caught this on the way in. See?

Now, do you at any time tell him how far to put the explosion from him? Not beyond this: "Just as far away from you as you can think; think a spot as far away from you as you can think the spot."

He does this weird one: sometimes he starts thinking of these spots at some distance from him; when he finishes up with the thinking machine, he has been operating the whole time within a sphere that has no more than a cubic inch in it; and he has been going out there miles!

The zone of occlusion is what you're trying to run here, too. You can find out that a person has a zone of occlusion. He'll find it out for himself - arbitrary zone - goes out anywheres up to fifteen, twenty feet - sometimes no longer than three or four feet; sometimes no longer than a couple of inches - there's a zone of occlusion. He can always put a mock-up on the other side of a zone of occlusion and get it beautiful. This is real silly, by the way. He keeps putting them inside the zone of occlusion, though.

Thinking machines are distorting machines. The only way to get rid of them is to run the various kinds of energy performances - space performances -there are. Which is nothing, vacuums, black explosions and white explosions. So let's find out how to chew on them.

There any questions about this?

Male voice: Yeah. When you have an exterior run this around the body, what do you have him do? Have him take a look at the body and have him. put out as far as the body can think, or what?

When you have them exteriorized? Have them think around the spot where they find themselves when they're exteriorized.

Male voice: Well, you mentioned something before that about having them run it on the body

Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Run the body as a sphere.

Male voice: Oh.

Just run the body as a sphere and put it all around the outside of the body and let it smooth on in toward the body, and so forth. They've got a thinking machine - if they've got any thinking machines around they're parked in the body.

Okay.
