TIME, ASSUMPTION FACSIMILES, OVERT ACTS, DEDs

And we are also going to take up lines, cords, ridges, havingness, bric-a-brac, brac-a-bric and odds and ends. The end of the lecture we will take up miscellany - she's a very easy preclear. All right.

In discussing this now, you see, we have this factor: that if all the facsimiles get jammed in this fashion, in this file, and this is the command filter - if a preclear is off on time he will use a last year's or last decade facsimile for a present time command filter because that is what is jammed in this pattern of energy. None of this pattern would stay in restimulation if the preclear were perfectly clean on the subject of time. No facsimile would get in the - in the thetan's road if the thetan ably handled time.

The auditor should know something about an Assumption. The Assumption is that moment which occurs in the lifetime of nearly all babies when it becomes attacked, feloniously assaulted and stolen and deprived forevermore of its self-determinism, the love of its parents, its wealth its health its longevity, and anything that could have been good, nice, pleasant or desirable for the baby. And, of course, all of this is the fault of; the blame of the thetan. And this is what we're going to take up.

The only difficulty which a thetan experiences as he exteriorizes is the scenery isn't the scenery. If he gets that - into that difficulty - the scenery isn't the scenery - all he has is too much significance on the scenery.

However, this morning - this morning I figured out that the baby was to blame for the whole thing. What was the idea of getting born? What was the idea of having parents? What was the idea of these two parents becoming excited on the second dynamic? What was the idea of laying out such trap bait as that and thereby luring in some perfectly innocent, sweet, impossibly pure spirit and corrupting it and degrading it and tying it down to gravity and to Earth?

But what is the significance basically? This significance is that he has his time factors shuttled. That's all. His time is off. His competence depends utterly on being able to observe and estimate, by observation, the distance a particle must travel and the speed of its travel. And that is competence.

And we found out that it was the baby's fault entirely for being aesthetic, for being so beautiful, so - being so covered over with womb wax, for being so, so tasty a morsel. And this we considered was the baby's fault.

So that if his time factor is off - you have the baseball player who just is a wonderful pitcher, except he never could throw a slow curve - his time is off on the subject of slow curves.

The actuality is, is any time you start figuring out fault and blame in any department at all anywhere, for any reason, you immediately can find that any motivator is an overt act, and any overt act is a motivation. And if you don't believe this, figure it out sometime.

You have a football player who always tackles a second too late. Maybe - maybe it's only a tenth of a second too late but he does it consistently - his time is off. His time is off on any athlete, somewhere, and that will be at the area of his nonobservation. That will also be the area of his observation, where his observation itself is aberrated, the command direction line twisted by a thinking machine or a facsimile. Do you see that?

Now, all you have to do is get a preclear up to a level of certainty on this - now it's like this - it's like this: now, let's just - let's just be certain right now that all the motivators which you need to completely balance up your case have actually occurred in the last three seconds in plenitude.

Now, aberration means nonstraight line - a very apt word. So you get a straight line as meaning a sane action.

Can you be certain of that?

So, you get people out and the - all the parallels in the scenery are off. That's just because their observation is first passing through its thinking machine. Lots of ways to do this; you just start blowing up thinking machines. You know, I mean, it's a silly remedy but it's a workable one because he knows he has these thinking machines. But the knowledge itself is covered because the thetan can't think. Now, think of that for a minute.

I'll tell you, it's something on this order - something on this order: there is a neglected process which you had better know as it is a tremendously valuable one and which you should not omit from your abilities, and that is making the preclear able to handle time. You could spend a long time on gradient scales with this until you had accomplished it and you would have a preclear in pretty good shape - just this one all by itself. And that is making an anchor point disappear.

All by himself without a single energy deposit around, without a single incoming wave, and with nothing but himself in space of his own creation - that's all - he would merely experience happiness.

Imagine the lot of a poor preclear who could put up anchor points but he can't vanish any. He has agreed with conservation of energy. And conservation of energy is "we must not destroy each other," which is communism. (Now, how did we get over in that bracket? Excuse me.)

Until he put out a beam that bounced off something and introduced that - enough randomity, he wouldn't think of a thing. And he'd only start thinking, as we call "figuring," by the time he had run forms into forms into forms into forms, and energy deposits into energy deposits into energy deposits until he was so damned confused he didn't know whether he was coming or going, and then he'd have to think everything out.

"We mustn't destroy each other, and therefore, we have to be very good to each other because particles are indestructible because if you destroyed particles the police drive up in a paddy wagon ..." (How'd we get off on that?)

Now, the way out of this is look. And if you don't believe this you could put a preclear down and just have him start looking at his own energy deposits. The second he starts looking they melt. You just say, "Look at the easiest thing in the room for you to look at. Well, let's take a real good look at it. Now let's look through it. Well now, just keep right on looking; let's look some more”.

Don't tell me that this thing about conservation of energy has something vaguely to do with human behavior. Indeed it does. By the time the person has agreed with the MEST universe to the degree that he cannot himself vanquish molecules, atoms, when he can't out-competition fission and all these other various things, when he can no longer do these things, why, then he gets the idea that he cannot destroy. One - "Life is so precious, and everything is so precious, that we must not destroy anything."

You can work a person this way to a point where the MEST walls start to dissolve as far as he's concerned. Fascinating experience, by the way. You get a preclear - you get a preclear off to a point where he - where his MEST vision is registering radar, see. It isn't registering reflected rays.

Well, we get a culture hanging together. It's always good sense, you know, to leave something undestroyed around. But it's awfully bad sense to leave everything undestroyed everywhere. This is pretty bad because it fouls up time and time goes out on the preclear.

You could actually - I every once in a while get some auditor who does this - great pride or great alarm, one way or the other, he says, "You know, I processed this preclear and I had him looking at black spots and white spots and green spots and things like that and all of a sudden there was no wall." He says, "I had to work with him another ten or fifteen minutes to get a wall up there," or "It only went off for a couple of minutes, it sure did scare him." He's never very unhappy about this, the auditor isn't, because the fact of the matter is that it's quite a trick seeing that wall.

Now, you'll see as the first entering wedge of a dwindling spiral in a preclear this symptom. You'd do well to take note of this symptom because it is the first thing you may notice about a preclear. He's still in good shape when he's doing this, you understand, but the end is not in sight or anything like that when he starts this - but it's just a little entering wedge. He all of a sudden finds himself short on time. He's just a little bit short of time. Time is a little bit shorter and a little bit shorter and he has less and less time.

The only thing that could see that wall is the stuff the wall's built out of; which is to say electrons. And an electron is just a heavy wave. It's quite a trick feeling that wall. The only thing that could feel that wall is a flock of electrons - same wave. That's all that can feel it.

Now, eventually he gets to a point where he doesn't have time. He's rushing time. No matter how illogical it may seem, he just doesn't have any time, so he has to sit around all the time because he just doesn't have any time to get anything started, you see? And there is the point which, incidentally, is not too far down on the Tone Scale. Not too far gone.

So that a preclear agreeing with the MEST universe is turning all of his wavelengths into the wavelength of the electron - the electron, the electron, the electron. "Oh, I'm much better now with the electron. Yes, I can see at the wavelength of the electron much better now. Oh, I can see it much, much better now. Let's see now, I've just got through studying nuclear physics. Yes, much, much, much better now, yes sir. As a matter of fact we can look straight at the electron and... I was down to the oculist the other day there and he said he'd have to boost these glasses out to a half an inch thick and - but I've been able to figure, now, with a slide rule and I've been able to figure this and figure that, and so forth, and we're really getting the wavelength of the electron now. And we can actually go into the front part of a book on stimulus-response mechanism and fill it full of eight pages or eight chapters full of mathematics before we ever get into saying that an electron exists; and here we are into the band of the electron and we're in there very perfectly."

You'll find people in various climes who are just very much this way. They just don't have any real time to do anything because, you see, they just don't have any time; and so they sit down, you see, and have to be more or less motionless about the whole thing.

I'm not describing Norbert Wiener; I said I'd never use his name in connection with Dianetics or Scientology and so I never do. It's too bad, he contributed quite a bit. I never read the book but I'm sure he did.

Well, you watch that symptom about time - no time - because it'll show up in mock-ups in this fashion: "no destruction."

This - this boy would be a prize to you. You would just fall upon him with - with gleeful hands because, my golly, he'd - he has a terrible time. He has these thick glasses and he walks around with his nose way up in the air so that he can kind of see under this terribly thick band of blackness he's wearing. He's having a rough time, but boy, does he know electrons. You get the idea how somebody keys in with this universe?

You want to watch how people put things into yesterday - this is the tool we're talking about - and put things into tomorrow.

All right, now let's take resistance. People become that which they fight. Good, that's fine, let's figure out how this is. Now, supposing a fellow started to fight ultraviolet. Normally, there is where your thetan has progressed to. He's begun to fight ultraviolet. He didn't like ultraviolet anymore. It'll show him up because it's closer to easy wavelengths, otherwise. Therefore, certain areas - areas in pawn, and so forth - use ultraviolet light. You can actually take a picture of a thetan with ultraviolet light if you want to fool around with photography sometime. Infrared film.

Now, you're giving people drills.

All right. Seeing is matching wavelengths, that's all. And if you keep insisting on seeing MEST, and nothing but MEST forever and aye, all you do is match wavelengths. Well unfortunately, most of the cases you run into have sunk below the ability to see MEST! And that's why holding on to the two back rooms - two back corners of the room...

Now I'm going to give you, as a unit here, a drill right now on this and give you a demonstration of how this is. All right.

I always put five or six rooms around, I'm sorry - lots of nothing. By the way, making anchor points out of nothing is very adventurous. I had somebody find that out this morning, making them out of nothing.

Let's mock up a white ball.

We have rooms, then, becoming visible and the pc getting into better shape. He's coming up to a point again where he can match electrons. Now, that's really glorious, I mean, a guy is... But gee-whiz, don't think he should stop at the sixth dynamic.

Now let's put it in yesterday.

Now, why is it that people go down scale suddenly? They just match something which they're going to fight. They'll go down scale unless they have, themselves, the ability to reoriginate admiration particles, because admiration is actually a long line of looking. And it's a special type of lookingness. And if they can admire a fight, they'll never get in trouble with a thing but things will sure get in trouble with them.

Now let's mock up a green ball.

Have you ever watched anybody go into a fight with a gleeful smile upon his face? Did you ever know a dog that'd say, "Gee, a fight! Gosh! Grrrr! Chomp." Dogs for miles around just take one look at him and ki-yi and disappear. He doesn't get mad.

Now let's put that in tomorrow.

What is anger? If you got mad at an electron it merely means this: you have locked equal wavelengths with electrons. If you got mad at Papa, you have locked equal wavelengths with the MEST body of Papa. So therefore, people getting mad at people, you see, has the interesting effect of pushing you right down into the MEST universe. And so people begin to think that this would be really terrible to fight with thetans if it's so rough fighting with people. No, fight all you want with thetans. Go around and have a gleeful time blowing up everything. But by golly, don't start fighting MEST bodies in the MEST universe, and fight, fight, fight without ever a smile about it. You get real mad, see. That's what you want to do, you want to get mad.

Now let's mock up an X and put it in yesterday.

You call this universe a love-hate universe, but its love and its hate go on very, very deep. Its love, by the way, is like glue - this is real gluey. It's a sort of an apathetic surrender. That - that's love as it's generally understood and sung about over the radio; love - somebody who's insane and can't eat. And you get - hate is just locking energy wavelengths with.

Now let's mock up a circle and put it in ten thousand years ago.

So, this all becomes elementary if you really wanted to - really want to start dreaming up processes; it would be processes which got people to shift wavelength. Now, if you really wanted to start dreaming up processes that would handle energy, and so forth, and - of course, these are probably very lengthy processes, and so forth - but you would go into that field. You'd do it something like this.

Okay. Now, how many - how many here did this one? Moved it geographically?

You'd say, "All right. We're locking wavelength and energy on the thing, all right, now..."

One, two.

Let's - I'll show you how this is done. Let's - let's all get real mad at music. Get the idea of being awful mad at music.

Female voice: You mean put it in one place or another?

Now let's get the idea of how wonderful music is.

Yeah. Put it in another space to put it in the past?

What happened as you did that?

Female voice: I did.

Male voice: Moved in.

One, two, three, four, five.

Hm. All right, let's get mad at music again.

Okay. Now, I'm just going to - that's enough so I'll just give a little more drill to the class here and we'll have this thing out of sight right now.

Now let's think it's wonderful.

Let's put a white cube up.

What happened as you did that?

Now let's put it in three minutes ago.

Male voice: It's better to get mad at the music than it would be the musical instrument.

Now let's put a green cube up.

Ha-ha!

Put it in ten seconds ago.

Female voice: Yes.

Now put it in a minute ago.

All right. We'll get to that in a minute.

Now in ten minutes ago.

Now let's get - let's get music being real mad at us.

Now, where'd you move it to, to put it in ten minutes ago? You didn't move it anyplace, did you? Is that right? Didn't move it anyplace.

Now get it being very fond of us.

Male voice: On the first one there, why, it just sort of disappeared and then I got it again and I put it in some other time and...

Now, what happened as that - you did that?

Mm-hm.

Theoretically you would have plowed out the bang-bang that you had mad at you there for a moment. It would have suddenly hit you just before the sweet music did.

All right, now let's put an automobile out in front of you.

Male voice: Well, you get the idea that it's laughing at you and then it starts feeling sweet to you.

Now let's put it in yesterday.

Yeah. All right. You get all these manifestations. But now let's get mad at piccolo music, flute music.

Where'd you put it? Did you move it geographically to put it in yesterday? Well, how did you do it?

Now let's just love bass drums.

Female voice: Popped away and disintegrated just immediately.

See what happens when you do this?

Hm?

Male voice: When I got angry at the piccolo or flute music, they turned on - I got sonic on them. When I liked bass drums they turned off like that.

Female voice: Disintegrated just immediately.

The bass drums turned off?

How did you do that?

Male voice: Yeah, just disappeared.

Female voice: Be gone!

Male voice: Well, I got mad at the flute music and then when I started liking the bass drum music the flute music took off.

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm.

Female voice: Even faster than that.

Male voice: Left.

All right, now let's mock up an automobile and put it in twenty seconds ago.

Sure.

Now, what happened? What did you do with it?

If you worked with this for a while you would find out there are various comparable waves. But theoretically there is a method of processing a preclear by which you would turn on up here ultraviolet light in front of the room. Have the preclear emote anger at the lamp - all in darkness except the ultraviolet light - and he would probably blow free of this and that.

Now let's mock up an automobile and put it in a half an hour ago.

And then you would get him to get above the ultraviolet light and blow. Well, how does a thetan change wavelengths? People ask me that every once in a while. He just says he does. It's the easiest thing in the world. It's idiotically simple. Just "I have a higher wavelength than that," and everything would go flowing on by. Just get - just tell yourself right now "I have a higher wavelength than MEST sound."

Now let's mock up an automobile and put it in a thousand years ago.

Now, "I have a higher wavelength than infrared."

How are you putting it in a thousand years ago? How did you do that?

Now, "I have a higher wavelength than any MEST energy."

Female voice: I just sort of heaved it.

If you just did this repeatedly this would be a gunshot technique that would actually move everybody out of flows.

You threw it someplace.

The only reason anybody stays on a flow basis is he's packing this Assumption around, really. He's trying to control a body and he's got the Assumption in the road. When a person Step I's easily, they don't have the Assumption in. If they don't - if they Step I, Step II, Step III, Step IV, right about there - the Assumption - III, IV, V, VI, VII, the Assumption's in there - overt act-motivator basis.

Female voice: Mm-hm.

A lot of ways to handle this. You can waste babies and waste lives and waste this and waste that. You can do a lot of things with this. But the Assumption is a very simple mechanism. The - quite normally the person hits the between-lives area he's only there about fifteen minutes. It's pretty black, and he gets a lot of this and that thrown at him - wavelengths which, of course, he fights. He picks them up, they have (quote) meaning (unquote) in them. And then he shifts through the - into a maternity ward, or something of the sort, is the next scene. If you run a preclear through birth and you didn't touch the Assumption, you left the Assumption to some degree in restimulation.

Yeah! That's the symptom... I'm sorry to use you as a horrible example; you'll have some processing this afternoon and you can run it out.

And the thetan will pick up a baby in a very certain and intricate pattern. And it's a very remarkable pattern. It's a two-handed pickup with a couple of feet thrown in the bargain. And it's into the lower abdomen of the baby and across the front of the mouth - upper teeth, gums area of the baby. And when the Assumption goes into - real seriously - there is a consistent, continual mouth somatic; and there's the top of the gum - above the top upper row of teeth, and so forth - it gets into restimulations. It's - the whole gum goes into restimulation. And the face, and so forth, will have various somatics that follow this pattern. It's real rough and the thetan is trying so hard to hold on to the baby and he doesn't realize how much he has to - power there to hold on with. And boy, that's a real good solid one, but he sure has got hold of the baby.

That's the only thing really wrong with a case. She's throwing things to another geographical area in order to vanish them.

Now you'll ask somebody to step out of his head. Here's all this effort to hold on to a baby which is immediately there, and he can't - he - he just says he can't undo this.

Now, please, let's look at this thing very sensibly.

Well, you start running this and you find out that he won't take any responsibility for it. And there is your key-in of responsibility on the case itself.

And you see this box here. Now, I say about this box, "It is here." Now, if I say about this box, "It is here," - we'll just take this as present time - and now I have to put it in a thousand years ago. "Okay, I'll put it in a thousand years ago" - has this got anything in it? - and I as a preclear, I say, "Okay." "It's in a thousand years ago." The hell it is! It's on the floor. You get the idea?

And the reason why he - anybody of his family could do anything that... You'd - you know it should have struck somebody as odd that everybody will let almost anybody in the family do anything to them. They'll take the - most guff off their father and their mother, and so forth. It should have struck somebody odd that the command that fathers and mothers have over children, completely aside from carrying them around and evaluating for them - for instance, your bus driver doesn't evaluate for you just because he drives you to work every morning, or something like that. I mean, it wouldn't be, you see? But Papa and Mama - one has done a deadly overt act, and I've had preclears turn this on. They suddenly flop out dead flat like a dog playing dead, and they suddenly say, "Well, they can do anything they want to me because, after all, I did steal the baby."

All right, now, I say - you say, "All right, here's a box. Put up-mock up a box." There's the box. "All right, let's put it in tomorrow."

The thetan can't support this level of overt act, and that's all. It's just - he just stole it one hundred percent and by Q and A he is now the baby but he knows he's not the baby. And any person whose papa and mama have seemed to want to get rid of him has begun to believe that Papa and Mama know. And that all they're trying to get rid of is the demon and trying to keep their baby. And the demon (the thetan) is trying to run away with the baby in this circumstance.

"Okay. I'll put it in tomorrow."

If you have a history of somebody who tried consistently to run away, you probably also have an occluded case.

Only it isn't - it's over here on the floor. Now, you wonder why this person's bank jams up? Have I made an adequate demonstration of what happens to old facsimiles? It's just a misconcept with regard to time.

Male voice: What's basic on this for whole track?

Time is a moving pattern of particles.

What's basic on it? Oh, there's an earlier one than an Assumption. There's several trick types of traps. Wonderful things. There's one whereby a person goes through a sort of a wishbone arrangement; and he no more than gets through the wishbone arrangement and starts to grab on to something than a magnetic field turns on and holds him suspended in that position. So he gets these enormously complex patterns of energy about holding on to posts, traps, and so forth. And all this just goes right on down the line. It's just a theta trap. And the more the thetan thinks about getting loose, the heavier the deposit becomes.

Now, the way - the only way you could vanish this - you could put this here yesterday. But you understand if I put that in yesterday, it might very well be here today, too.

And I handled an Assumption here for you one day to give you some idea of it. I didn't handle this thing all the way out the window, but it was handled just about the way you would handle any Assumption.

So, if I said, "Well, let's put it all in yesterday and not today," we'd have it. If I put it all in yesterday and not in today, all I would have put there is - right in the same spot that it's in - I would say, "Well, I remember it was there yesterday." And one says that with certainty, "Oh, yes, I remember it was there yesterday."

You'd have the thetan - the thetan holding the baby up and then you'd have the baby holding the thetan up. And then you'd have babies stomping on thetans, and papas and mamas, killing thetans and pulling them off of babies. And you'd just go in for lots of motivator. And then you figure out - finally get the guy to figure out so he could be absolutely sure that it was all the baby's fault. And well, we didn't run that that day, but it's a motivator action.

Now, put it in a thousand years ago. "Oh, yes, I recall about a thousand years ago. Mm-hm, just about the time of the Crusades. Mm-hm, earliest Crusade, and so forth, and it was right there in - hanging in midair in North America, which was unexplored at the time, and it looked very peculiar there, too." But you'll be very - you'll be very surprised.

This demon has been - this demon, this horrible thing, this - this thetan - has done something that nobody else in the whole universe has ever done. He's stolen a baby.

The next thing a preclear will do is he's - as he's running this - is he will put it into a thousand years ago (proper geographical locale, you see), he put it in a thousand years ago and you want to ask him this: "All right, now," he says, "yes, I remember it was there a thousand years ago and it's not there now; but it was there a thousand years ago. I'm sure of that."

You asked me what was basic on this. I might as well go for broke on this thing as long as we're talking about it. You should know this stuff and understand this.

And you say, "Can you still see it?"

The overt act originally on the line is the thetan's first contact with a body. And if you look for the thetan's first contact actually with a body you will find that the body - was told, or he heard from another thetan - he heard someplace or another, or he actually experienced the fact for himself - that there was an enormous amount of sensation to be found in a body. And he went and tested it out and he felt terribly degraded when he did. The reason he felt degraded when he did was because he started pulling the body to pieces and he picked up the sensation somehow, some way. And the - it's nipping and blanketing - particularly blanketings as you'll find in What to Audit - are basic on it.

And if a case is having any trouble with time, he'll say, "Yes!"

And there is one type of body which the thetan has blanketed more than any other type of body and this will be the type of body which he's most defensive of. And when he is unlucky enough to get a similar body to the first one he blanketed, he's in for a very messy life. He might as well jump off a bridge and go out all over again or get processed.

And you say, "Well, where is it?"

But if you were to locate, in the Assumption, if you were to do a good workmanlike job of this, you would handle in Creative Processing form the whole chain of blanketings, and so on. It's quite an extensive proposition. You'll find, for instance, that a girl who is very unhappy about being a girl has actually committed her first blanketing on a boy and has thereafter been trying to protect boys from girls. You got that?

"Well, it's in a picture a thousand years ago."

Now, there's all sorts of things on this. But the thetan, after he's done this overt act of blanketing a few times to get the sensation out of a body, gets sort of a sense of feeling he has to protect the body because there's a tremendous surge - there's an upward surge of... Remember the old emotional curves - running emotional curves on people? Well, you could trot that old tool out when you're running anything like a blanketing. Just run - emotional curves which go from curiosity, expectation, high sexual desire, which plunges off into an utter apathy and degradation - and that is the curve of an Assumption. Because immediately after the orgasm or the discharge of admiration on the part of the body there was a tremendous reduction of tone; tremendous reduction of tone and it's a phenomenal drop.

This is only a person who can't part with something. This is just another question of Expanded GITA: can't have, too scarce, can't part with. See that?

Do you know that the human body's temperature rises about one - well, it rises about two degrees on an orgasm. Hardly anybody was ever scientific enough to work out this fact but I decided to put it to test one day (and did) and found out that was the case. The temperature shoots up that high on an orgasm or ejaculation.

So, you ask somebody, you say, "All right. Now, put it in yesterday."

Well good God! There isn't anything that will shoot the temperature up. I mean a guy can go out here and run around the block and he can - he can run into cars and do all sorts of things; you put a temp - thermometer in his mouth immediately afterwards and he's got 98.6. But not right after an orgasm; his temperature goes up a couple of degrees and then dives off.

And he says, "All right. I did."

So it's quite a wham! And your thetan got caught in this, and very often the guy gets all these blanketings into restimulation. One of the main things wrong with a V, he's got so damn many blanketings in restimulation that he can't see straight. And he's got - these got keyed in by sexual overt acts and motivators.

And you say, "Well now, can you still see it?"

Of course, people have blanketed him while he was a body, but the blanketing is always a DED and never a motivator-overt sequence, which makes it deadly. He goes on practically through to the end of track trying to get a sufficient and adequate motivator to account for his first DED. And he'll never make it. He can't.

"Well, yes," he says, "you kind of have to hold it there."

Now, the fact that his parents don't like him is enough of an accusation so that he immediately knows how guilty he is and he reacts like hell. Then what his parents did to him was horrible, and so forth. Well maybe it was. But the point is that if he could only have gotten them to do a little more, he feels, he would be paid off. That's what his reaction is on the line.

You get these manifestations?

But don't think there's too much deep significance to this; there isn't. It's just deposits of energy. And the Assumption goes into restimulation. Then he tries hard to achieve some sexual stimulation out of the body afterwards. And he starts draining the GE's and his own engram bank - in a society as puritanical as this - for sexual satisfaction. And here's the second dynamic keying in and nailing the guy down.

Now, put it in tomorrow. Now, how do you put something in tomorrow? Well, you remember for yesterday, but tomorrow you say, "Yeah. Well, tomorrow I'll walk in and I'll find that on the desk." Okay. It's in tomorrow.

You run a preclear through a few of these blanketings and it's strictly, whee! They're - it's really charged stuff. But what you're trying to do is work out this - well, you can work it out with Creative Processing.

You don't even have to be that literal - you just, "I'm certain it's in tomorrow. It'll be there tomorrow. It'll be there tomorrow at 10:03." That's all. But that is the only way you put things in yesterday or tomorrow.

What's a blanketing like? The thetan just dropped down over the body, that's all.

Now, if a person is no longer able to vanish something, which is to say handle it in time, he's no longer able to destroy. They're mostly the same thing; the great destroyer is time. So, you simply do this with a preclear as an automatic reaction; and I'll do it with a preclear as often as - actually as often as I am consistently, or even now and then, processing a preclear.

Now, very often two thetans got together and got a couple of bodies and pushed them together; or one thetan got ahold of a couple of bodies and smashed them together. Well, of course, a thetan didn't measure what his energy - own energy output was or what he was doing to these bodies and he didn't care what happened afterwards and, boy, he really messed them up but good. They nearly always ended in death for the principals - the bodies concerned. Nearly always.

I'll always ask him, "All right, now we've got this and that, so on, and so on, and so on. Mock up this and that." And he's getting all set to have a big explosion. You suddenly say, "Well, put it in yesterday."

So it's a heavy overt act line. And if the Assumption is really keyed in, but good, really keyed in, an auditor really has no other choice on the matter outside of using just those types of present time processes and mock-ups in general - just the shotgun techniques. They're - they'll be lengthy in this case; he really has no other choice but to track back this line and find out what the hell this overt act was against because it - it's a DED, and clean it up by mocking up many times the same thing happening to the thetan as a thetan.

"Yes," he'll say, "yes, yes."

Of course, it never could happen to the thetan but make it work somehow or another, because he can't have the thing squared around; or just make him remember one on the track that happened to him while he was a body before he saw his first body. Anything like that.

Now, you can tell right at that moment what the heck he's doing with this, because if he's getting a big explosion knocked together, he generally will have a little bit of tenseness about it. And then you tell him to put it in yesterday and he's still tense. Of course, that is practically the supreme test: Can he start an explosion going, all ready to go, and then deny himself the explosion? Yes, pretty rough.

We've been talking about DED-DEDEX sequences on blanketings and Assumption here for a long time - over a year in Scientology and directly connected with Theta Clearing. And at the end of a year it is still quite apparent that this is the line of no responsibility which a thetan has elected to take. They run straight back to the earliest blanketings of the case.

You ask him to put it in yesterday; he'll say, "Yes. Yes. What else do you want me to do to it?" Because he's still got hold of it, And he's saying, "Well, that's yesterday."

And where you have your thetan going into big dives and swoops and around and not able to take much responsibility, his case remaining blacker than the ace of spades, in spite of what you do to him, you're just fooling around with some early blanketing that is being keyed in like mad with some present-life situation having to do with his own or the opposite sex.

Now, another way to do it is to just keep on looking at the thing and say, "Well, that's a facsimile of it as I saw it yesterday." You get all sorts of rationalizations. But the point is the preclear has to be able to vanish things like this.

Now, there is about the end of it. And one of these cases every once in a while gets pretty rough and it hangs fire and doesn't resolve fast - I mean, somebody doesn't exteriorize readily, so forth. If you have any trouble running SOP 8, you remember that the early SOPs, when they got down to that level, ran blanketings. DED-DEDExes on blanketings is SOP 1, Step V. DED-DEDEXes on blanketings, period.

How do you do this? Well, you get that same gradient scale as I just gave you, "Put it in ten seconds ago." "Put up a white cube. Now, put it in twenty seconds ago." That was a moment before, you see, you gave the command. Well, that's easy to do.

Nothing has occurred to change the state of cases. A lot of remedies have appeared for changing cases, however. You wouldn't run those things today on the basis of running out DED-DEDExes.

You just say, "Well, he - I just put it there before he asked me to, which makes me real smart." Become complimentary.

You would run them with Creative Processing and you'd run them in such a way as to pay back the thetan enough motivators of the exact kind necessary for him to get around never having had that motivator in the first place. It was a DED. And you just feed him that; and you feed him enough of them and his sense of responsibility and power would come back up. He actually won't let himself come back up the line because he doesn't deserve it.

"Put it in tomorrow." Now, how do you put it in tomorrow? You say, "It will be there." How do you put it in yesterday? "It was there." How do you put it in last week? "It was there. It was in last week."

It's computational to a large degree as far as he is concerned. There is that first postulate sitting in there: "My God, I shouldn't have done it. I am disgraced. I have had to do with a body. Why would I do such a thing?" and so forth. He's just completely outraged about himself and everything else. But where did he get all this?

Does time change a geographical location? No! Anything put in this room yesterday - we consider this room that space which has these MEST anchor points - anything put in this room yesterday is in yesterday of this room. Do you see?

He just got this from the defense mechanism of the body itself. If you were to go sailing down the street right this moment as a thetan and pick up some - some nice-looking guy or girl and give him a good hard nip, that same emotion would be yours, unless you knew how to disconnect. Or unless you understood that emotion so well and could mock it up so plentifully that its newness and novelness no longer whetted your appetite.

Now, a person's time track will go so far on this that it'll start to jam; and all yesterdays are today and all the tomorrows are today. And he gets into a hell of a mess, and the only thing he can do to it is to shroud the whole thing with blackness and skip it - another thing he can do with occlusion. Or you just get him to part with something.

Because that degradation which you now know as degradation is educatedly degradation. You've been told that this is degradation. You believe that you should feel guilty. It never bothered you until after the fact, "you've done wrong." You became convinced that you had done wrong. It was just early on the track "Whee! Now I'm degraded. Let's all be degraded. Okay, let's all be degraded. All right, let's all explode now!" You can just see a bunch of thetans playing a game.

Well, now, to show you that this is scarcity, you'll handle a preclear, then, this way: you'll say, "All right. Now, let's mock up a box. Let's put it in yesterday," and he throws the box on the floor or something, and he says, "Okay, I've got it in yesterday." The hell he has! He knows he can turn right around here and pick the thing up. That's good and safe, see?

But the body is so condensed as to looking that when a thetan and that much energy matches its wavelength and hits it, that lookingness starts to uncondense. And, of course, its emotion of uncondensing is degradation. Why? It's because the guy isn't looking at that energy.

So, what do you do? Here we go with duplication. Put the box here. Now have him put a duplicate of the box here. "Good. Put another duplicate of the box here. Put another duplicate of the box here. Put another duplicate of the box here. Put another duplicate..."

Now, the best - the best remedy for this sort of situation - I will be very frank with you - the best remedy for the case that hangs fire now with these techniques, the best remedy, does not have to do with running DEDs and DEDEXeS. It has to do with Self Analysis. If a case hangs fire after so many hours of processing I take that case by the nape of the neck and I set him down and I make him grind out Self Analysis until they know they can have their own anchor points anyhow which tells them where they are.

Now he's starting to look kind of bored about the whole thing. You say, "All right, take that last duplicate and put it in yesterday." "Okay," he'll say, "it was there." He'll do that automatically.

And after that I make them handle time until they get real expert in the handling of time, and so on, and start plotting things out. Turn on, preferably, a lot of whole track memory, one way or the other, and then work them out of it. Or with that technique - DEDs-DEDEXes - if I want to be a short term, "Let's take a guess at it," "Let's try and see whether or not we can plow through this thing" - I'd simply take an E-Meter, find the DED, find the DEDEX sequence, take a complete chance on whether or not this guy's going to get sick or whether or not I'm going to have to process him ten hours, or something of the sort - just let all that go to hell, see - and just plow in there madly and start making him cap and blanket his own body until he's just convinced that he has really been blanketed enough. Make him blanket his own body and then run the emotional curve; blanket his body and run the emotional curve; blanket his body and run the emotional curve. Grim! The reason it's grim is because the body itself starts to come to pieces.

So, when you ask him the question, "Now, what did you do with it?" or "Can you still see it?" you are testing him and the answer to this is make enough duplicates of the object you had him mock up until he can put one in yesterday. And you just work with the preclear on this. If you've got that thing solved so he's certain something is in yesterday, you have to give him enough mock-up in present time.

But once in a while, why, he'll just find his particular DED-DEDEX, something like that, he all of a sudden feels better. And feeling better on the line, will then be able to exteriorize. But believe me that is not the best technique. That's not the best technique because it doesn't have uniform success in the hands of auditors. And sometimes the case isn't much affected by it or anything, they just don't seem to be able to do anything about it. In that case you just solve it with Self Analysis.

Now, blackness starts to get valuable to people after a while, so you have some people mock up some silence and put it in yesterday; mock up some blackness and put it in yesterday.

The very, very, very best technique for doing something like this is for five or six thetans to stand around and give a yank. That's the very best technique on such a case.

You can - sometimes have to have them make up enough blackness so they have enough blackness at the moment in order to be able to afford one piece in yesterday. This is totally a problem of mechanical scarcity and that's all.

Now, you get recurrent revulsions from a thetan hanging around a body. He'll all of a sudden feel a tremendous amount of revulsion for his body. You mustn't overlook this as a point in a case because it's going to happen. It's "looking" uncondensing. He just gets to handling the body with beams and the body starts to uncondense just as nice as you please. And its uncondensing follows through the - exactly the same routine as the first blanketing. These beams and energies of the body itself start to stretch out and you get this emotion of degradation following through it.

It is resolved by making duplicates of the object which you're trying to get him to handle till he's finally willing not to have one now but to have it tomorrow, as well as all the others he has now. And then you just take the rest of those duplicates and one by one you put those whichever direction in time. Get that: direction in time. It's a misnomer in the language, and is the most aberrative part of the English language - is the - its misconceptions about time.

You want to handle this body - actually a good Operating Thetan would not handle his body with beams. And he really wouldn't come anyplace near it.

Time is a change of pattern, anchor points with regard to space, and that's all it is.

I came near this body not too long ago and it was a very remarkable experience. The first part of last week, and so forth, I was going around here, I didn't know whether I'd need a wheelchair or not, because I blew the whole back control panel as far as the body was concerned. I'm pretty well patched up; there's a few tacks still showing. But I just reached too close to the body too quick with a beam, that's all. Thetans will use beams; they're so pretty.

And you say, "This collection of points, or anchor points, was here yesterday," - pang! should be gone.

You shoot a great big golden streamer out someplace and wrap it around something a couple of times - it looks very pretty, it's nice. Stretch it and condense it a few times. Skip rope with it once in a while. Do something like that. Beams are not much good for anything because you're right into agreeing with the MEST universe. Everything in this universe is handled by beams and motion.

You don't disintegrate the object just because it was here yesterday. You don't have to destroy it just because it was here yesterday.

Okay. Now, I want to define for you invalidation once more. I'll evaluate for you in order to define invalidation.

But a person who can't place these things in time is having trouble with what? Facsimiles. And which one in this Earth, at this time, is he having the most trouble with? And that is the Assumption.

Invalidation is the process of rendering the thetan uncertain of anchor points. Invalidation is making a thetan uncertain of his anchor points.

Now, why is he having the most trouble with the Assumption? Well, that's very simple. He's having the most trouble with the Assumption because the poor fool has started in using facsimiles for his directive order change to the MEST body. And he started this at birth - and practically everybody did.

This can be done by showing him that they are destructible by hitting them, knocking them flat, scrunching them, squashing them, as in the case of a lost ally. A lost ally dies, it's an invalidation of an anchor point; something happened to it, he's certain it went someplace but he wasn't quite sure where.

Now, let's take a look at the facsimile package which a person accumulates from childhood, from infancy - the Assumption.

And an invalidation of a subject which is making somebody well is again merely the vanishing of an anchor point. And a person who can't get anchor points has been made too uncertain of his own worthiness to have anchor points and so he has been invalidated.

He grabs the body and starts giving the body orders; it starts giving him orders; he starts giving it orders. He has to build up enough training patterns and make the body fall down enough and stand up enough and do this enough and get trained enough and so forth, he believes, until he has enough energy deposits kicking around so that he gets a stimulus-response package on his hands. So when he says, "Lift the right foot," he lifts the right foot.

Now, what about people who have had very good success in your hands as an auditor and have come back to you in a month or so and they're still in pretty good shape but they're very shaky about a lot of things and they're not quite so sure? People have invalidated the subject to them. The best remedy - and they've invalidated you as an auditor, therefore, if they invalidated what you know and your skill.

This, in essence, is what "training" and "learning" is supposed to compose of. He learns to run. "Well, he has to learn to walk before he can run. Everybody knows that." There isn't any reason why he can't just tear off down the road. But as a thetan he's so darned weak he can't do that. So he builds up these deposits and you've got automaticity at work.

So the only thing that you have them do is simply mock you up and mock up the subject on a gradient scale until they're absolutely certain they have two anchor points out there, then four, then eight. In other words, can make space with the subject again.

Then he's got all these training responses. Well, this is just higher and higher certainty on being able to handle a body and as the body ages he feels that this is himself. It is not. The body is not physically capable of doing certain things until certain ages have passed. So, a thetan is actually monitoring himself against the growth of the body, the capacity of the body to do.

What do you mean by the subject? Well, it's just any kind of an anchor point which they - represents symbolically the subject which made them well.

So if you want sometime, just try and get a ten-year-old boy, or something like that, with about a ten-pound or fifteen-pound pack on his back to walk up the side of a mountain. He gets about halfway up the mountain and he'll fall on his face. Why? His rate of burning is too fast and his energy storage, as far as a physical mechanism is concerned, is too little. So, everything is arguing against him, but mainly just his age and his bone formation and that sort of thing. He just isn't up there yet.

Now, a person who has been rendered very insecure in - of psychology by psychology, of course, has lost an anchor point. One of the best ways you can handle it is completely rehabilitate psychology and then change it into what you're doing for them. That's all.

Now, this is training in terms of physical beingness, and the thetan gets this all mixed up with energy deposits and eventually a thetan starts keying in. And what does he do to give the body any orders? Big joke! He goes through - back through this training communication system. And that is composed - that's composed of every confounded facsimile he's got keyed-in.

The rehabilitation of invalidation of your auditing - the fellow goes home; he was in perfectly good condition when he left the house. He see - you see him the next day, he's in terrible condition. What happened to him? His wife said that he was always thinking he had something happen to him that was good and that things would be better but he knew that they never were, or something like that. Or she knew personally that you as an auditor had actually been sleeping with some of your preclears or that you as an auditor's wife had a very immoral and a hideous background as a sorceress or a witchcraft doctor or something. Or that she knew in school that you had always failed or something - something weird. Or that "the subject was all right but Hubbard was all wrong and he was actually terribly immoral and unable. And actually we didn't object to the subject; we objected to Hubbard or something on..." This is the goddamnedest - the damnedest squirrel cage anybody ever got into, I mean, it's lovely.

Now, you wonder why people act like other people? Well, let's take the package and let's have a whole bunch of lantern slides up here. Let's consider the thetan is able to propel the body by means of a stimulus which is a tiny beam of light.

Well, this one goes round and round - that's all just invalidation. That's an effort to shake somebody's anchor points up and make them disappear. Simple, simple. I'm not talking about this because it comes anywhere close to me; I'm just showing you what happens to an anchor point.

Now, let's take a facsimile - let's do it by facsimiles; this is real dumb, but we'll - this is the way they start doing it after a while. We throw this beam of light through the slide and it causes a certain image which we will call an action to appear. Now, he eventually gets this way: he finds out that that one image, that isn't so good, so he puts two slides, then he puts three slides and he puts four slides and he puts five slides.

Now, somebody who's been - run some space opera and has been shaken up on space opera, just have him put a few spaceships out for anchor points until he's sure he's got some out there and he'll feel better right away. Somebody told him that was Buck Rogers.

Well, he's going through these old energy deposits.

Now, the fellow who has been made insecure by a planet has become affected - the effect of the planet, finally. How would you rehabilitate somebody around the clock about a town? You just mock up the town eight times. Give him eight anchor points so that he can make space with that town.

Now, he says to the body, "Run!" and the body starts running if he's quite young. If he says - thetan says, "Run!" the body may lie down. And that's when he's really keyed-in back down the track. The idea of running brings on an apathy - he knows he can't run or something of the sort.

How about a whole planet? Well, you can rehabilitate Earth, that's the nearest planet. Let's just put it up there eight times, that's all. And let's get it there real good and real stable and so it lasts. That's all there is to it. And that's a rehabilitation of invalidation - one of the tougher problems an auditor faces.

Well, is this a studied thing? No, it's totally stimulus-response. There is stimulus-response at work.

Now, you'll find that in every preclear's case there is one person, at least, that they cannot mock up. Again we're going into the auditor's skill in detecting what is wrong with a case. You can detect what's wrong with a case and do a patch-up on the case mighty quick.

At the age of about thirty he's already going through dozens of these facsimile ridges in order to get a communication through to the body.

Just this morning I was - did a little patch-up on something that was sitting right up in the open, but there was no necromancy or guesswork that was doing it - we just went into it on a gradient scale. We just found out approximately what it was and then the preclear said what it was and there it went and we at least took some of the charge off of it.

If you want to really see this in operation you should run somebody on old-time Ridge Running. You tell the body, "Walk," and then have the body say, “Can't walk." And you'll actually have the preclear seeing small beams of light in his head. And these little beams of light he can see that they get longer and longer.

All right. An auditor's skill in doing this is merely keeping his eyes open and following through. Well, there's a lot of clues that come up this way. What are these clues?

"Now, just tell yourself to run as long as you can see a white beam. Oh, you can't see a white beam now? It's all black? All right. Now, tell yourself that you can't run. Okay."

All of a sudden, the preclear starts telling you he can't see something or he tells you he goes up this line and there's nothing there. Now, we start taking lines off of the body. And we run the preclear back and have him look for the source of the line. All right, he finds the source of the line - he's exteriorized - we find the source of this line, and make him duplicate it, and then duplicate it some more, and then duplicate it some more, and then blow up a duplicate, and then blow up more duplicates, and then blow up the whole thing. And then get him real good at this and then the whole line's liable to explode. He's liable to have a hell of an electronic shock back into the body if you do this a few times.

"Yeah, it's turning white again."

But then keep him going until all of a sudden he tells you he can't find anything on an end of a line. You're into hot work, fellow. You just have a little hot energy and have him mock up nothing for a while and the first thing you know, "Well, we've got that end of that line. You say there's nothing there? It's just coming out of nothing? Okay. Mock up two more nothings. Mock up another nothing. Mock up another nothing."

First they'll say, "No, no," and "there's nothing white in there."

Sometimes something will appear there but normally that isn't what happens. You get a kickback into the body and the next thing you know, the body which has been fighting like mad not to be in this facsimile is all wrapped up in it and the preclear's taking a look at it. And that's all there is to it. And you just start doubling it up and blowing it up. And any time you can find bringing apart a couple of anchor points or putting a couple of anchor points together into it, do it. Put them together and blow them up; pull them apart and implode them. Just any way you can handle two points in relationship to each other. And more darn mysterious stuff will turn up on a case and blow out and every other darn thing will happen - totally mechanical procedure.

"Now, 'you can't run.'"

One of these mechanical procedures is that he finds nothing at the end of the line. You ask him to, "Change your wavelength. Now take a look at the lines in your body. All right. You can find that end. All right. We blow that up. We got that line off; we got this line off," and all of a sudden you go up this line.

And then it goes a certain distance white and then it goes black again. Now, you start in the other way and you say, "All right. Give the command - body the command to run again."

"That's funny," he says, "there's nothing there! Ha-ha-ha-ha."

The body gets the command "run" and it goes through and it's white-white-white-white-white-gray-gray-gray to black.

The hell there isn't something there. That's something he can't look at. And lines don't end in nothing, believe me.

Now, give the command "Can't run."

All right. That's one symptom. Here's another one - much closer to home.

What are you doing? You're just running through these old facsimile packages.

There's always somebody on a case the pc can't mock up. Find out who it is. And then mock them up by mocking up a piece of sand that they looked at a thousand years before or something. And then mock up a footprint of the person and then this of the person and that of the person. Gradient scale - build the person until the fellow can look directly at the person he couldn't mock up before. Now he can mock up this person. Good. Now have him put up that person about six, eight times as anchor points. He'll find out that this person either invalidated him or herself completely or was invalidated completely by somebody else or both; and he lost an anchor point.

Well, everything would go along beautifully; this system would work like mad except for one thing: great big gaps occur in the package and those gaps are known as unconsciousness. After a while he gets the idea there must be somebody in those spots telling him something or other, so he'll fish them up - they're curious - and he'll plug one of those things in by accident. And after that he's in a good - he's in for a real good time, because all the language during the moment of unconsciousness will go into restimulation because it's in the package.

Now, the case that tells you, "All right, my life was all right until - my life was all right until MX2377-M, my last girlfriend, left," - used the girl as an anchor point. She was an anchor point in his life. And all of a sudden he found out she was no good and wouldn't do anything for him, and so on. He's - terrific invalidation, you see, and then she up and left him; anchor point gone; everything gone to hell - left him with no space.

It's all very simple. We're just talking about Dianetics now. But that is the pattern of the stimulus-response mechanism on the part of a thetan. He says to the body - and where the devil does he first connect? What's his first connection? This is why basic-basic was so important.

Why? Because his concentration was so solidly upon this girl, whether she was good or bad - good for him, bad for him, that doesn't matter - just concentration heavy on her, see? All of a sudden - pam! - she hasn't got him anymore - he hasn't got her anymore. We just build her up until he can put eight of her around and make clear, concise space with her. Any visio he gets of this person, this girl, will be one figure in a fixed position. Well, let's just bust this up until he can make this figure drill and put it up eight times and make space out of it.

The first connection the thetan uses, of course, is the Assumption. When he starts this stimulus-response thing he will start filtering all of his commands through the Assumption. Well, it will go into restimulation. And then he finally gets the tonsillectomy in there and it goes into restimulation and he's at length... We wonder why - what's this business about the winning valence?

All right. Same way for a girl. She's lost a man and ever since has been kind of unemotional about life. She's just fixed there with no space because she's missing one particular anchor point. The anchor points in that fashion are the parents, the grandparents, the childhood home, the entire neighborhood in which the person was raised and from which he has been transplanted and the love affairs and marital partners; and that includes practically the whole gamut of such anchor points.

It's just that the beam of energy put in goes automatically through - is attracted to and goes through all the winning valences in the package because those are the command valences, so that any command agrees with them and the agreement straight through the line of packages winds up with all the winning valences. This is a map of the bank. And you can draw that map just as I've given it to you now, and maybe you should.

If you rehabilitated a person - gradient scale - until he could mock up clearly and put in eight spaces around him each one of those things, you'd have a Clear. It's not a terribly long job. It's an entirely new approach to you perhaps, but it - it's inherent in Self Analysis. He just mocks up enough anchor points until he's sure of them. But in this case it's a lower-scale process than the highly differentiative mock-ups he'd get out of Self Analysis.

Now you just - then you're just practically looking, looking at the - what is laughingly called the "human mind." Nobody would ever believe in such a mechanism as this but it really exists. All the winning valences.

You see, because he's agreeing with the MEST universe, he's letting it tell him where he is. So it's a junior process to random mock-ups. But if you want a fast relief on a case, find out where his emotion shut off; just where it shut off; who it was, mock this person up in a gradient scale by first mocking other people up, and so forth. And then get energy to move in on this person and then get this person there for eight anchor points - his emotion will turn on again.

What's a "winning valence?" It's just that thing which had the command value over the preclear at the time it happened.

Okay. Now, if you - if you get a certainty in mock-up, in any field, on any subject, for God's sakes, know that you've got your case entrance on a heavily occluded case and you've got major case repair well in progress on a case that's exteriorized. He can be completely certain of his mock-ups, completely certain of all their behaviors.

This, then, could be space, a rock, unconsciousness. I saw a little advertisement this morning in a garbage can down here in the medical building this morning and it said, "the round-the-clock sedative," something about "the answer to a physician's care”. It said that on the package. I thought that was very fascinating, "round-the-clock sedative." So that a sedative has won and everything else has won. Now, you wonder why this thetan worries about being able to control his body. And why you get some of these fellows when you tell them, "Be three feet back of your head" - "Huh-uh!"

Well, when he's completely certain about them he can put them in space and they stay there, or they don't stay there, they go into yesterday or tomorrow the way he tells them to, and so forth, when he's way out in space. And he can blow them up and create them and implode them and move them around, and when he traces up lines he always finds things at the end of it. And he can look at anything he wants to look at anywhere around the body or around anyplace - you needn't worry about him anymore.

The one thing - I could assure you of this - of all other computations, the devil with them, there is this one and you will run into this one on every single case, is they're afraid they can't control the body from any other place than where they're occupying it because they're filtering every darned command they give through package after package after package of stuff. It's going through all these lantern slides. And the picture of every lantern - when a lantern slide - is a moment of force or impact - and this moment of force or impact, of course, is adding... It's a very good system, you see. It's a perfect system. It always works. It just goes through every impact on the whole chain.

But he's got to do all those things, so remember what he's trying to do. We're trying to get him so that he can mock up anything, he can unmock anything, he can use anything for an anchor point, he can see any kind of a cord or line he desires to or not see it if he doesn't want to, he can trace down and find the ends of anything on anybody - your boy's in good shape.

Now, you wonder what's an accident-prone? If a fellow were only doing this kind of thinking, why, naturally, every one of those winning valences is potentially destructive.

Now, there are many cases here right at this moment that are right up toward that level. That's why I'm saying to you that we've got to start really polishing our fingernails on some of these cases because there's just no sense in any case hanging fire right now. There's no sense in a case being even vaguely static.

Now, we say this fellow was well as long as he could (quote) "abreact his hostilities." We made him a sergeant in the army and he could be mean to everybody and after that he would have got in good shape. Well that, unfortunately, is not a gunshot process; that is not a point where you could put every preclear because many of them are so frightened of the winning valence that although the commands may plow through there, the preclear is someplace else to receive them.

A case would only be vaguely static if we didn't quite understand what we're trying to do. We're trying to get this fellow certain, at will, of anything. That's what we're trying to do - certain, at will, at his will, of anything. So he can use anything for anchor points, so he can be anywhere and look at anything. Be in anything is another way to do it. You get him chasing around and able to do all these things and he's in beautiful condition, believe me.

So, you have the thetan calling himself up on his own phone lines so that he can put himself into operation.

And also there's a lot of things that he has to be able to do - if you want them as drills; all lead more or less to the same thing: handling the body well exteriorized, making the body do various things without a hitch. That's one way, but these are more or less modus operandi than anything else.

But he starts out and gives the order as a thetan and then it goes through the phone line and he receives it as a human being who is actually in the valence of a bedpost. So he obeys his own commands in this fashion.

He also should be able to take ahold - if we were really going to college on this, why, we would be - have - the preclear and the auditor would be sitting there patiently at the window looking out the window, and the auditor would suddenly say, "All right. Now, you see that dog down there? All right, make him walk. Make him turn around." And here we'd go. I mean - but that would take quite a bit of coaxing on the part of the auditor and a little bit of gradient scale work because the person is very unsure of himself when he starts in to handle something that somebody else can see.

Now, these commands go rocketing back and forth through the bank and he at length gets into apathy about tracing them and he just lets it go through the bank.

You get what this invalidation is? Your thetan has the idea that if he puts up a mock-up and somebody else sees it, "Aw, the other guy would steal it" at least, or destroy it, or something of the sort. So he mustn't put up things. If the computation - there's a button behind that, by the way - is "Every time I put up anything beautiful, it's spoiled." And that's sitting on practically every case. "Every time I put up something beautiful, it's spoiled."

"Well, I think I'll go down to the store now. I haven't much to do. But I guess I might as well go down to the store. Yes. Well, here I am going down to the store. Well, I should have taken my car; it's a long walk down to the store. Well, I didn't take my car and here I am walking down to the theater. I wonder what I'm doing walking down here to the theater. I was going to buy something, I am sure. It must have been something for my car." Where did all this start?

Women have a better chance of outriding this than men do, because men can't even wear a pretty coat in this society. It's impossible.

And you get psychology. The one great contribution of psychology is to kick everybody who has studied it into being a stimulus-response machine attempting to adapt to his environment.

Now, aesthetics. You should be able to turn on aesthetics. But a fellow is so leery of aesthetics; he's leery of aesthetics like he's leery of admiration. You know, at any moment he's liable to turn on enough admiration to just blow everything to hell and gone. He actually will find himself restraining himself to keep himself from admiring a wall or something. But don't worry, you'll never blow that wall with admiration; it's below the wavelength. I mean, it's like trying to - trying to stretch both ends of a spectrum and making them meet in the same spot, or something of the sort; it just doesn't do it.

Psychology is the great preachment of associative reasoning. There is no reasoning that is associative. That is unreason.

Admiration for MEST? Oh, yak, yak, yak, yak. I mean, it's just - admiration for its aesthetic form, yes, but admiration to a rock for having the molecular pattern of a rock - nah, nah.

It means, "A beer keg is a beer barrel. Bigger. Which means 'my brother' because he's bigger. But now, if brother is bigger I shouldn't drink beer because that makes me smaller, but it cheers me up and therefore it makes me feel bigger, so therefore I ought to beat up my brother."

Now, aesthetics are similarly dynamite. We'll go into that a little bit later and we'll run some experiments on aesthetics, and so forth, but they're similarly dynamite. You put aesthetics around - you put up an aesthetic mock-up, for instance, and then put up another mock-up and let the aesthetic mock-up come into confluence with the second mock-up and, gee, it blows up pretty.

So this is actually associative logic. A much better logic than most people use, by the way. It just goes on and on.

Aesthetics are quite dangerous. By the way, a thetan's going the wrong direction when he's starting to make things unaesthetic. Actually, the most dangerous thing he can do is be tremendously aesthetic. But it's the case - same case as in force, you know. The only thing wrong with force is when you've tried to use it, you didn't use enough of it. When you kicked him down and he was lying on the ground you said, "Now that'll teach him and in the future I won't have to worry about him." And the next day he got ahold of a knife and shoved it in your back. That is not enough use of force. You should have stove in his skull when he was lying on the ground. Do you see that? So that force always fails by falling too short.

And now they've gotten every writer in the American scene today writing on the basis of voices talking to them. The fellow - what they call in literature a "stream of consciousness." And practically everyone has adapted Freudian characterization and stream of consciousness. People don't think like that, that's all, unless they are crazy!

Now, the thetan is always trying to cut his own force short enough so that he can participate in the game without stopping the whole game. He doesn't want to stop the game, you see? So he gets down to the point where, as the hero, he unbuckles his guns before he beats up the villain.

The fellow who goes down and opens the door of his car saying, "Let's see, now I have to get the keys out of my pocket. Well, I think I'll get into the car. I wonder what she was really thinking about when she made that remark." This guy's nuts! This guy is all ready for the spinbin because he's depending on the body or the situation to restimulate some kind of a conversational thought. And the guy is down to a point where he is operating only in symbols. And the symbol is once removed from the actuality or a thousand times removed, in the case of a word.

See, this is real silly. I mean the thetan can always win, all he has to do is pull - pull a beam out of his hip pocket and drive it through somebody else's skull and explode the pineal gland or something. All you've got to do is touch somebody's pineal gland and you never saw such utter agony in your life as will come over that body. I mean it will just lie there and writhe and writhe and writhe.

People don't know what words mean but they sure chuck them around, if they're real nutty, as though they were objects. You can see somebody pick up words sometimes out of his head and express them. You can actually watch this operation as though he were running big derricks in on himself. He's got a word. And that word goes through something or other, and the word is the thing - this guy's nuts if he's doing that.

You talk about generating horsepower to make a beam. Ah, not so. You don't have to generate any horsepower to make a beam. You just put a - put a beam on a pineal gland and that body's practically finished. Well, a thetan knows this so he starts - he doesn't use energy around the body very well.

People who are in good shape just don't think on associative logic. There is no such operation goes on in the mind. The fellow looks, sees what the situation is, and then if he has been taught by education, psychology or something of the sort that he should think about it, he will run in after the fact of operation a stream of logic which justifies his having done it. And the stream of logic very often is much less valid than the looking that he did in the first place.

But a thetan doesn't want to put up a mock-up that somebody else can see. So one of the most damaging things you can do to a preclear is to say, "Yes, I see your mock-ups."

And then he gets to the point where he has to do this so much that he doesn't dare let himself know that he looked. He looked, then said he didn't look and then justifies it with a big stream of logic and then comes up and puts it into action later on.

Okay. What's invalidation?

All he's done is postulate the action and then this big gap of odds and ends and do-nothingness and to hell with it, and so forth, and "I'm all being so reasonable and this explains it all, even to me," and then he puts the action into action.

Male voice: Destroying someone's anchor points, pulling them out, hammering them in.

You know that nobody can drive an automobile on the basis of stimulus-response, associative logic and training patterns and reasoning? None of that bric-a-brac explains how you drive an automobile. An automobile is going too fast.

That's right. Demonstrating an insecurity - a finer definition - the - demonstrating an insecurity of anchor points.

You get almost any driver down here on the road and say, "How do you know your wheels are at the distance they are from the edge of the pavement?"

Male voice: Removing them from his control.

"Well, I don't know. I guess there's a - I line up the fender. It's a matter of training. I've just been at it for a long time."

That's another one.

The guy who is a real bad driver is the fellow who is so short of viewpoints that he can't kick one out there that he doesn't know about that rides along on - alongside of a car and actually monitors the front wheel of the car to the edge of the pavement. That's the end of it. He just drives the car by looking at it.

Male voice: Establishing them for him.

The fellow who didn't know he was going to have a wreck before he started on the trip is already a little bit too loopy for you and I to have too much to do with. See, he sees all the patterns and he sees the postulated patterns of action. He looks at them - all the patterns which are poised there for action all the way down the line. He sees his own and a thousand other people's at a glimpse and he just makes a prediction, then, on where all these particles of action are going to happen and he knows that they're going to happen wrong.

That's a real good one. That's fine.

Very often some poor guy, because he's been taught he - taught there's nothing to superstition, there's nothing to prediction, there's nothing to this, there's nothing to that and it's all witchcraft and magic and mysticism; this poor guy had - knew he shouldn't have gotten out of bed that morning, but he lay there and he did it, he got out of bed that morning! And he - the next three months he was still regretting it. But he knew he shouldn't have gotten up.

Mm-hm. Establishing them for him and then assuring him they aren't his. That's the necessary part of the operation.

But everybody - no, he couldn't have explained it to anybody. And after a while he's been right a couple of times and everybody has shaken his faith in his own predictability to such a degree that he feels kind of ashamed of it; and then he starts postulating bad things to have happen to him that won't come true; and then he starts postulating good things that have got to come true, then bad things that won't come true and - you see, so often he doesn't know what is going to happen in the future now because he knows he should think about the future. He shouldn't look at it but he should think about it.

Parents do that all the time. They say, "Johnny, here's a pair of shoes. You like that pair of shoes, Johnny? Now, keep them polished. Johnny, why haven't you polished your shoes?"

Boy, I tell you, it's a complete impossibility for a mind to predict the future. If you just add it up actuarially you will find out there's about a hundred billion factors - just about a hundred billion - involved in you going down to the drugstore and buying a Coca-Cola, drinking the Coca-Cola and returning here. And if you could say with accuracy, "I will be back in sixteen minutes," there's about a hundred billion factors against you being back there in exactly sixteen minutes - for and against it. I mean, it's just one of these terrific computations; you couldn't lay it out on an ENIAC. You - it just staggers.

Why haven't you polished your shoes? Well Johnny can't figure this out. He says, "But, gee, gee they're my shoes, but they aren't my shoes." But those are anchor points. They sure are anchor points; they're the one thing he marks where the ground is. Parents are always obsessed with shoes. I guarantee, they're just obsessed with them. They give a kid shoes and then they expect them to do this and do that, and so forth.

It's why boys operating in psychology just - well, literally thousands of them - blew their brains out every time they started thinking about the brain. Because it's just too complex if you add up the brain this way. If anybody here is finding any complexity in the problem of the brain, it's just because they've added up this lantern slide thing I'm just telling you about, and they said, "This is thinking" - this impossible number of factors, impossible!

Clothes. Practically every preclear you run into you'll find various anchor points which he's wearing. He can't - you just start running Expanded GITA while he's exteriorized. Just take what you see - shoes, stockings, feet. And you find they belong to a gym instructor someplace. And we just start taking him apart this way and all of a sudden the guy starts to realize he's walking around in a complete unreality because he doesn't have any body. How can he possibly move out of it? It belongs to everybody. It doesn't belong to him. And you just start assaying the various things which he has and he finds out he owns nothing. But instead of getting discouraged about this he's coming on up Tone Scale. He's "Ha-ha, what do I know? I don't own a thing! Ha!" Wonderful.

You - there isn't a machine made today - whether it's to calculate astronomy or IBM compressed air computers or ENIACs and UNWACs - you could mark them all together and hook them all up and they would not recover for you all the data or hold all the data contained in one mile of driving! Just wouldn't do it!

Now, the other operation which is done along with the anchor points is the insistence upon love at various levels of the scale. At various low levels of the scale you find love itself, which is a fairly high-level emotion, being utterly decayed, oh, but - just put into a level of revulsion the like of which you've never heard of. Just as a bid to be parasitic. It's the same kind of love that the Spanish moss displays for the oak.

Because it just - it isn't that the mind is wonderful - the way I was buttering up people a year or so ago - that it can do this. The marvel of it is that people are so stupid that they think that they do do it.

And somebody all the time down the track - somebody's always falling for this, see. And it's love, love, love, love. Well, it's just this little general rule: it's normally - when it's a great deal talked about, and it's mentioned often, and it's mentioned in friendship, and it's talked about overtly and continually, and so forth, just have the person shot because it doesn't exist. That's right, it just doesn't exist.

If you keep up a consistency of looking and an alertness and a minimum communication time, you just take care of just billions of factors just as fast as they happen.

Okay. If there are any questions about this, as they come up, why, you be sure and bring them up. Or any difficulty you have along any of these lines, why, bring them up.

How do you take care of them? Well, you take care of them by seeing them a few feet before they hit you! And in some cases, if you're real up Tone Scale, you can see them a mile or two before they hit you!

You're driving a car or some guy who's - really thinks he's driving a car - he's down there in back of the wheel of that car and he's in the car and that's all he is driving - watch out! He's a dangerous driver.

A fellow that isn't riding out there to a point where he's driving five, six, ten, fifty cars - like the guy - so you drive with some driver and you come up to a blind turn and this driver is going seventy miles an hour down the road wapity-wapity-wapity-wap, and all of a sudden he takes his foot off the accelerator. There isn't any turn. There's a slight curve in the road, see? He takes his foot off the accelerator, taps the brake a couple of times and brakes her on down to about forty miles an hour. There isn't enough curve there to justify it but just as you get around the curve - he's never been on this road before - there's a turn, you see, and there's a big signboard there and there's a side road, and so he slacks her off again to about thirty and then the truck rolls out of the side road which has been completely hidden by the signboard.

Now he starts to do this consciously. Now he starts to think about "How am I doing this?" And instead of realizing, this stupid idiot, that he did it simply by looking down on the scene and seeing a truck rolling up there in a side road and driving on a map - just driving by the stars, you might say, is just driving on a map. He's just on the map and he is guiding the car on the map and he's doing all these other actions; there's nothing to this.

Instead of realizing this enormous simplicity - how do you trace a particle - he tries to do it by arithmetic, calculus, UNIVACs, ENIVACs, anything, see, and he gets completely screwy. He's saying, "My goodness! This must be very mystic. I wonder how on earth I could have predicted that that truck would be there at that time?"

Generally this happens when somebody retracts his attention by saying, "Gee! How did you know that truck's going to be there?" So, the guy immediately puts this on, see? "I wonder how I did know that that truck was going to be there? Gee. You know, I didn't see that truck!" By which he means "I didn't have my MEST eyes on that truck." Well, look at the difference between just looking at the situation.

Well, it's the same way with handling a body. Any day you start handling a body with beams, beams, beams, you're in for trouble.

One of the first jobs an auditor should have is just start disconnecting these beams the fellow's using to handle the body with. Disconnect and throw them away. Because all a fellow has got to do is just tell the body "Walk."

Now, the funny part of it is, if he's in real good condition, all he's got to do is lean on the window ledge and he sees somebody going by on the street and he just impresses it upon them sufficiently that they ought to turn around and go home for their wallet, and they will, although they got their wallet in their pocket.

Well now, how do you do this? By using super lengths of energy? No, by having a sufficiently high level of potential, and so forth, that just by looking at somebody you just tune them in, that's all. It's again lookingness. It's a postulate that is so potent in energy that it doesn't require any energy to kick it through, merely because energy is a measurable manifestation and one of these things isn't. It isn't a nothingness he's handling there. It's real power. That is real power. Energy isn't power. Energy is when you kind of quit using real power, see, and you start to help it out with sticks and crutches and ...

An energy beam is a sort of a crutch to a thetan. Yeah, he has to prove it to himself he's doing something to it, see, so he puts a beam on it too.

This is real interesting. And now there is a lower level of all this, you see; way down on the Tone Scale the guy is in this same kind of a boat. He says, "Gee, if I think this thought the other people will do it and then I'll be guilty and be to blame. So therefore, I had better not think this thought."

And you get at the lowest level on the thing - restrained thought. That's right down there. A mystic has to think right thoughts. Restraining thought. That is something on the order of putting fences around air. Restraining thought - you just can't do it. There isn't any sense in this at all because you'd have to make the thought into energy and then put some kind of a barricade screen around it. And this would look a real interesting setup by the time you restrained a thought.

What do you know though? A fellow who's at that level of the Tone Scale has no power in his thinking. There isn't any horsepower in it. Now I don't know why these people worry so much about right thoughts or wrong thoughts. People at that level on the Tone Scale can't hurt each other for the life of them. They're like turning an army loose with soda straws and telling them to bat each other's brains out with these soda straws - these people that worry all the time about this kind of thinking.

The reason why this is taking place and why they are worried about it is because they've got this filter system in operation.

Now, do you see what this facsimile system of handling the mind does? The facsimile system of handling thinking and action is filtering through all these packages of ridges and all that sort of thing and it's very fantastic.

It looks like shooting a beam of light through an enormous number of lantern slides. And believe me, by the time that thing hits the screen it's a mess. And there isn't hardly - there isn't enough light hits the screen to even show an image in most cases. The thought just never gets through.

The thetan, after a while, is so bamboozled and so upset with a thought going through this thinking machine - we're talking about this same thinking machine we were talking about the other day - he's so confused he doesn't know whether he's issuing the commands or somebody else is.

About the time you've bailed him out of the middle of the thinking machine, got him out someplace so he can actually see he is - nobody else thought that thought, he did - he says, "Walk" and the body walks. That's a big moment when he's certain the body is walking because he told it to walk. So you want a control drill there as one of these drills.

Well, the worst part of all of this is that the package starts with the Assumption with this one body. And that's a vicious one because it's a thetan who is immediately out of the between-lives area who is - has a collapsed terminal on a baby.

Now, you get that very clear. A thetan doesn't come down from a between-lives area and traverse a piece of distance in order to be with the baby. No distance is covered.

What happens is the between-lives area collapses the space. And it's just a neat trick like that. And he's there. And this will more or less puzzle a preclear. A preclear can get upset about this on how we collapse space this easily.

Well, there's - shouldn't be very puzzled about it. It's just a collapsed space. That's all.

As far as the thetan's concerned, it's the best little old collapsed space you ever saw in your life.

So, he's getting the between-lives area as an energy deposit, lying on the front face of the body and it means that all of his commands to the body are going through - this is the neatest little facsimile anybody ever figured out. Oh, it's a honey. Just don't miss this one. If you ever set up a universe, don't ever omit this one. This is really just too good.

Every command he gives the body is being filtered by the commands he got in the between-lives area to "Go down; make MEST out of yourself; be a good boy; help everybody; don't ever recover and then come back here when the body's dead if you can make it." And it also, "So you're here again; so you failed again; so you don't have anything more to do; so we've got to send you back again." Yap-yap-yap-yap-yap!

And all of this is sitting where as a command deposit? It's sitting on the front of the body. The thetan had it in full restim at the instant that he hit the baby. Savvy?

How dreadfully, gruesomely simple this is. This is how you keep it in restimulation.

He knows he can't leave the body, if he's really got the Assumption in full, roaring restimulation, until it's dead. So, if he's impatient with life he'll have to start in killing the body and he will.

He'll also try to turn the body into himself. You will see many a man walking around who looks like a Fifth Invader. You just look at them sometime - this fellow, he's kind of ailing, but there's something or other wrong with his physiognomy, or something or other. He's trying - he's a thetan trying to turn the body into meat.

He can't leave the body without disappear - disobeying orders, but nobody told him he couldn't eat it.
