I want to talk to you about time, space and energy in terms of experience. The name of this talk could also be "Be, Have and Do." An interrelationship now exists between theta, its goals, self-determinism, space, time, energy and experience, behavior and activity, which make this subject much too easy. And I want to ask you to keep it quiet — the fact that it's gotten awfully easy. Don't go out and tell what I'm going to tell you tonight to Homo sapiens as he walks around, because it all becomes too plain to him. Don't, by any means, tell a physicist about this because he's got to be an expert to go on earning his living.

And don't make the horrible mistake, when you're processing a preclear, to do it in the first three minutes, or he'll feel that he didn't need processing.

Now, in this being, havingness and doingness, I was going to say it probably would never occur to somebody who isn't very facile in getting in and out of his body that there's only one place he conceives that he is permitted to be. He conceives he is being permitted, which is typical of what the MEST universe does for you: it permits. It permits you to act or it motivates your actions. That's very fine. It makes you act, and if you aren't motivated in that way, it punishes you until you do act in that fashion, and so forth. It just cuts down self-determinism, self-determinism, self-determinism.

That's why we're running in now, at this time with these new techniques, an assessment — a good, thorough assessment before every session. That's so the session will take up some time, you see?

The biggest foe of the MEST universe is the person who can invent a universe, because you can invent a universe good enough and big enough that it'd eat this one up, if you concentrated on it hard enough, if it's worth doing.

And on first glance, I want you to regard this material with great awe.

It has not occurred to some of these people, then, that one of the reasons they can't get out of their body is because all the space anywhere around them is owned by somebody else. They don't dare move out in that space. It's another's. They dare not be elsewhere. So they can't be out of their bodies, if they're very low on the Tone Scale. They just can't be out of their bodies. They aren't when they get out of their bodies, because they can't be because that isn't "their space." And if it isn't their space, they can't self-determine space, they naturally cannot be. Because space is be, and that's all there is to that.

Actually, you probably should; I've been digging at it now for I don't know how long. But I want you to regard it with great awe, and take it so seriously and regard it with such awe and consider its importance so great that you'll never be able to use it. I mean, if you can just get serious enough about this material now, we can guarantee what I first said there will take place: that it will remain so difficult, and so forth, that you too can be an authority.

Well, just think of it for a moment. Think of being in one of those coats over there. You know that's not your space. You get people... a thetan, and you tell this fellow, you say, "All right. Now, let's go over and take a look in the window across the street." "Nuh-uh." He says, "No, no. I couldn't do that." "Why not?" "Well, I just kind of feel like that's private. That's somebody else's business and it must be ethical or something of the sort, and I just couldn't do that." Much less "Now, let's see. Why don't you go down... I tell you, we need somebody in this photograph we're taking here. Why don't you just go down the street and pick somebody up and bring them up here and we'll put them in the picture and take their picture, and so forth." The fellow says, "Oh, I just couldn't do that." You see, you're asking him to accomplish a doingness for which he has no permission. He believes he has to have permission. Actually, he has to run on a moral code of the MEST universe, the automatic moral code of the ms' universe, which says, "Nothing belongs to you except what you are given. And therefore, things can be taken away from you at any moment because they've only been loaned to you. You own nothing. So long as you agree perfectly with the MEST universe, you can own some part of the MEST universe, and we're permitting you to exist. Your beingness is only MEST beingness." God help these poor fellows who have this "man to mud" theory or "mud to man." That's horrible. I mean, just think of that. That's a gorgeous theory.

And so there's two ways to go about this, now. If you will at least become very, very serious and concentrate very, very hard on this and know that this must be difficult — because we are actually, throughout, dealing with factors which only recently were solved in a lower strata in physics — and if you regard this with sufficient importance and awe then you'll never be able to use it and I won't have any competition on the thing. I'm the only person that I know today — it's very unfortunate — who never seems to have any failure with these techniques. I just never seem to have that happen. Of course, that has mostly to do with luck. Luck. It isn't because I observe the preclear or it isn't that I use the technique exactly as it is written down. Those two points wouldn't have anything to do with it. Think it's probably pure luck or maybe it's reputation or something like that. That probably has much to do with it.

The fellow is being allowed to live by mud. Very, very aesthetic concept, especially some of the mud I have smelled around the Channel in England.

So again, it leaves me... I say that because the first class hasn't got any of its certificates yet. And the reason it hasn't got any of its certificates yet is because it's got an unsolved case in its midst. And I'm going to get awful bored with this and I'm going to take just exactly the principles which were taught the first class and solve this case some afternoon when we've got two or three minutes.

All right. Now, possibly this individual who's having a rough time getting out of his body — there aren't many that do, but supposing he's having a rough time getting to be a Cleared Theta Clear. He is a Theta Clear; he's trying to get up the line, and boy, just clear it up in all directions, develop his potentials like mad in all directions, and he's just sort of not making it. Probably wouldn't occur to him that he is being asked to desert some of the havingness which has been presented to him. And unless he deserts some of the havingness that has been presented to him, or at least devaluates it — he can still hold on to it, no value to it — why, he's just pinned right there. Only he's in a bad state. His time is fouled up on him. Time.

I mean, it's just as ridiculous as that to have an unsolved case. It's just that ridiculous. It's just also ridiculous, anybody being in this subject very long, to keep on wearing glasses. You shouldn't wear glasses; there's no point in wearing glasses. Do you realize that glasses actually absorb a considerable percentage of the photons entering? They're hard... they're hard to see through! And I don't know, you want to put up barriers for yourself or something, that's all right.

You see, the body acts not as an ethereal sort of a meter. I mean, it's not a meter that we just guess at or something of the sort; it's a good, solid timer. It has a life of its own and it acts as a timer, and it keeps the thetan very much in line. And the thetan is so completely out of practice balancing himself in present time — he thinks the body does it all the time — he steps out of the body and he looks around and it's yesterday. He says, "This can't be right." Now he says, "All right. Now, let's straighten all this space out here.

But now, sidestepping all this persiflage, let's get down to something terribly serious, which is the anatomy of universes. This is what's known as a small subject — the anatomy of universes.

Now, wait a minute. That's the ceiling of my little room when I was a kid and that is combined with the office desk where I worked as a clerk and I look over at these chairs. And what do you know, these chairs were the kind which, I don't know, maybe they won't be there till tomorrow. And all of this is the composite view which I see. Neow!" "Something," he will say, "is upset around here. Something is upset." Well, I'll tell you what's upset about him: space, be. His beingness as a thetan is so upset that his space is upset. So space is upset on this thetan?

Universes are composed of space, time and energy. And these factors, combining, make objects and matter, in general. Now, that is the anatomy of a universe. And that's all you have to know about a universe, and that's obviously all we need to know about a universe, because that's all that modern physics knows about one.

Okay? Space is upset. He's worried about being a thetan. Diagnosis and analysis. Very simple. He's worried about being a thetan. There's something wrong with being a thetan. So there's something wrong with space. If you find he has something wrong with space, then, there's something wrong with what he is being. Very simple.

Now, I'll go over that again. This is the actual scope today, stated in a round sentence. The anatomy of a universe is as follows: It's space, time and energy, which combining, forms matter. So you have matter, energy, space and time as the component parts of the universe.

Actually, if there's something wrong with space to him as a MEST body — he just doesn't have his space lined up well as a ms' body. You go into his office and he's got this great big office, enormous office, and way over here in the corner he has this desk. And it's just heaped up and mounded with stuff in all directions. And as you walk in the room, you see these spectacles peering out from amongst these papers, and the rest of the room is bare — there's something wrong between that fellow and space.

Now, I'll explain this in the way one of my college professors would have explained it, back there about twenty year ago, man and boy. I had some very, very good professors, by the way. They have no peers, no peers whatsoever. Ninety-five percent of them were incomprehensible and the other five percent wouldn't communicate.

Now, preferably, this fellow will have a little tiny room, just a little tiny room, and that'd be just about right. That's his concept of how much he is.

My professor of mathematics was supposed to have been the only man in the United States who could understand the Einstein theory. He sat there proudly understanding the Einstein theory. He sat there for years doing that.

But actually, the MEST universe can present him with an awful lot of things like this. It can increase his beingness, it says — it's all a sort of a ghastly trick, you see — it says, "Now, we'll make him a present of this big estate with an enormous castle on it and all that sort of thing." Well, this fellow is still the same aberrated fellow... MEST universe... Too late in life -you've often seen this — too late in life he wins the jackpot; too late in life he acquires some space. And how much space does he use of it? Now, he's got that great big hall and way over here in the corner of it is this little tiny desk. He isn't able to absorb it. Now, if that were done to him when he were young, you see, he'd suddenly say, "My beingness expands to this degree." Space. That's why land is so important to people. Ooh, there have been more people killed over land. Yeah. If you let the question of land come up in a family or the question of possessions come up in a family... Possibly some of you have been to a funeral, and they couldn't quite hold the funeral because the relatives were — well, they shed a couple of tears, but they're in there having a devil of a fight over the wardrobe of the dear dead departed. And it's unimportant. You'll find them — they won't do anything with this wardrobe after they get it. I mean, it just seems to be... it's a terrible obsession. Beingness.

But don't ever go in to him and say, "Say, I'm sorry this happened. I'm awfully sorry this happened, but in analytics, there are five unnecessary steps in solving slope formulas." Don't say anything like that. No, you have just reached up upon the altar and torn down all the sacred vessels and bitten holes in them and dented them and thrown them out into the barnyard.

All right. Now, for instance, I mention to you, "Are there spaces where you dare not be?" "Are there spaces where you dare not be?" Just like that: "What spaces would you not dare be in?" And you start sorting those things out and you'll find out your tone comes up, thetawise.

He would say at that moment, "I think it is best for you to use those five steps. They are there for a purpose." I didn't understand him at first, until I at last realized that they were there for a purpose: to confuse people. That's true, that's true. There is no subject under the sun which cannot be refined, no subject under the sun which cannot be simplified, and there's no subject under the sun which can't be made more complex.

Perhaps you'd forgotten about these things.

Now, just because the last is true is no reason to go on doing it.

There's spaces here, not too far distant, that you'd care not to be. One of them is jail, You wouldn't want to be in the jail. The very best way to do this — Creative Processing and so forth — if you have the fellow already out of his body, send him down... send him down to the jail, let him sit on a cot for a while, examine the joint, walk out and walk into the jail and then walk out of the jail and walk into the jail and walk out of the jail and walk into the jail He'll say, "The heck with this." And he'd get to feel more important.

But that also applies to Scientology. Now, people watch Scientology and see it simplifying. That's wrong: it ought to be becoming more complex, but it's not doing that. It's simplifying, it's simplifying. And today — today — it is possible to say that the anatomy of the universe or the anatomy of any universe is composed of these four simple elements.

Odd, but you just... you're taking up the spaces he dare not be. You're just picking those things up. Simple. This is terrifically practical application, you see, in processing. It's just as practical as "To drink coffee it is a very good thing to have coffee. In order to put coffee in somebody's stomach, give them a cup of coffee." I mean, it's this kind of information — this kind of information.

Now, as one of my professors would have said, "Matter? Matter, that's... that's energy; that's energy in space and time, energy which has combined in atoms and molecules in space and time." "I see. Well now, what's energy?" "Energy... energy, that is motion; that's change in space. That's... that's motion, and change in space requires time. And when this change in space occurs, the manifestation of its occurrence is energy." You say, "Thank you. Now, what's space?" "Space... space is that area occupied by the energy which is changing in time." You say, "Well, I... Thank you. Thank you very much. But, what's time?" "Time is that manifestation of change in space which can produce energy." You say, "Excuse me. I didn't quite know where we came in on this rat race. But it seems to me that we keep saying A, B, C, D; A, B, C, D. It just seems to be a circle." Now, somewhere somebody's got to find a hole where he can get into this exclusive circle which defies all breakdown. Of course, the second you start to say breaking down anything like a universe, everybody gasps in horror.

If you want to clear somebody and you want to theta clear somebody, you're asking him to remove himself from a space where he is very sharply identified, that he owns, that he has as his own beingness, and if these things are terribly valuable to him and if he feels pretty queasy about his beingness anyhow, you're asking him to remove from a space where he dare be to spaces where he dare not be. And you would be surprised, but one of the spaces he dare not be may be a foot from his head. It might be five feet from his head. He might dare not be one inch from his head. Maybe all the space outside of his body from one sixteenth of an inch — from there on out to the rest of the universe is where he dare not be. He doesn't dare to be in any of these places.

Everybody knows there's such a thing as conservation of energy.

Now, that is his level of beingness, and all of a sudden you give him that.

Einstein's last paper — you ought to get that sometime; be some light reading. It's something like twenty-six pages solid — twenty pages, something like that — of solid figures. By the way, have you seen that? That's a gorgeous thing. One of my friends got ahold of it, and somebody had mimeographed it at Princeton, or something of the sort. It's not been published widely. And it goes page after page, and you've got these, ooh, just symbols and cube roots of square roots all divided by zero time, and their times constants. And then all of a sudden there'll be a big S and then there'll be a small s and that has to do with space, but that is space within space. And then you'll see something over here that's the strangest letter out of any alphabet you ever saw, and that's the fourth dimension. It keeps sticking its head in. And when he gets all the way down to the bottom of the thing, he says triumphantly, "Conservation of energy!" He said, "Now, we have identified time, space and energy in terms of conservation of energy." Now, that might not be exactly a rendition of Einstein's paper; that's not a direct quote. But when it comes to the actual last line, that's pretty close. It's sort of as if he said, "Now, look you. We got this all buttoned up, and we don't want any tampering from here on out because we have absolutely proven, at this level, an interrelationship which is so interlocked and so dose between space, energy, time and matter that nobody will ever break through the cordon." Well, fortunately, I — or unfortunately — I put my foot in the wrong place not too long ago and broke through. And all of a sudden, time, space and energy became related to self-determinism. We suddenly found out that the goal of theta... And this works, by the way. It's a test of any theory, is does it work? It's all right to get a theory. I can get lots of theories. But the point is, let's get one that functions.

There's something funny about theta. There's something very strange about it, in that in spite of the fact that it doesn't have wavelength or motion or anything else, it seems to have different potentials from person to person.

Well, 1951, there was this theta — MEST theory, and this theta — MEST theory just seems to function. And there wasn't any reason for it, it just seems to function.

And you'll find some fellow who has, for him, a terribly low concept of beingness — for him — and he's nailed down tight. And you'll find somebody else who has a very indifferent sense of beingness, very indifferent, and they can go anyplace, it doesn't matter — doesn't matter to them. They can go anyplace — perfect reality, and so on.

Now, the theta — MEST theory is refined to this degree: we have, on one echelon, something of no time, no motion, no space, nothing. The nothingest nothing that ever anybody conceived. Nobody ever conceived a nothing as nothing as theta. But isn't it interesting that that nothing-nothing thing has a potentiality and a capability?

What it is, is actually, would be in a motor would be differences of horsepower. Actually, what it is is willingness to let go force. And a person has to reckon with this. You cannot draw — all I'm cautioning you against — is you cannot draw an inference as to the capabilities and intelligence of an individual simply by whether or not they step out easily.

The closed circuit, of course, has been in existence now for quite some time.

It's not a direct circuit because of this: The fellow who has a lot of doingness — fellow who has a lot of doingness — gets born into this life, and the society turns around and takes a look at this kid and it says, "Whhhh! Hello, Sonny!" There he goes. He's all set. And he revolts against this. And the society — this MEST universe has almost unlimited force. And he tries to fly in its teeth and rebel, and the MEST universe said, "Well, we can take care of things like you." Bang! Out he goes, in he flies, in and out he goes — back and forth, back and forth. He tries to do, do, do. Against any odd he just keeps on doing, doing, doing, and the next thing you know the violence leveled against him — it becomes fabulous in terms of quantity.

That is evaluation of space, time, energy and matter all by itself. And you can expect things to get into that state of affairs. They sort of evaluate everything... A person starts to describe cats and he starts to describe cats in terms of cats, in terms of cats, in terms of cats, and you keep — and if he were saying all this time "Whumps in terms of whumps, in terms of whumps. And it's bigger than a whump, you see. I mean, but it's just a little bit longer than a whump." And you keep saying... you keep saying, "What's a whump?" And he'd say, "Why, a whump, that's very simple. A whump is... well, a not-quite-so-much whump." And you'd find him quite bogged down logically.

Now, let's take some fellow and he's very nice, he's very mild, he's very agreeable. He doesn't try to do anything. Somebody says to him, "Be here" -he is; some, "Be there" — he is; and "Go here" — he is; and so on. And boy, he winds up — he's clear as a bell. And you say, "Be out of your body," and he is.

Now, you can do that same trick by saying, "A whump and a wag and a stug and a moog." And you say, "What is a whump?" "Well, it's a stag and a moog, as modified by a wag." And you could just go around in circles, and they might as well be those words. Really, they might as well be those words, because they don't interconnect otherwise. They're just four symbols, and each symbol is evaluated by the other symbols.

He didn't ever fight.

Well, I got stuck one night on something or other, something came up, and this theta — MEST theory came up — statics and kinetics. Theta is a static.

Well now, there can be reasonable factors behind this. You see, it isn't necessarily true that he has less power than the other one, for the good reason that he might have grown up in a very favorable environment that didn't even mildly object to his revolutionary tendencies. He might have grown up on a farm or something of the sort, and the day that... when the other kid was having to walk down the back alleys of someplace in order to get away from enemies that were pursuing him in earnest with clubs just because he existed, why, this other kid, he'd clamor around and Mama would finally say, "Oh, why don't you go out and play." That's how tough the environment was. I mean, "Oh, why don't you go out and play in the orchard. Go out and play with the horse" — the old plug horse — and he'd go out there and... Real big, exciting life.

Well, what is a static? We have the theory in the physical sciences that energy and physics and all those things are statics and kinetics. They're sciences of static and kinetic stuff. Well, all right. We take... let's take something that they say is static — and they know it isn't static, by the way.

Now, you take a person who has been transplanted a great deal in his current lifetime, he'll keep living life cycles within his current lifetime cycles.

Nobody fools that. You put this down — this eraser. You say, "It's a static, doesn't move. There it is." Oh, boy, is that thing going like mad! That has eight separate motions just being connected to Earth. You know that thing is traveling at a thousand miles an hour? It's fantastic, the number of speeds and motions. In another direction, it's going twelve and a half miles a second. That doesn't sound like it's very static to me. It's changing location in space and time with rapidity.

He just keeps living these cycles. He'll pick up and he'll get very facile for a long time. Boy, he can put together a little universe at an awful rush. He'll just gather the odds and ends of this universe together and he'll sort of hang them together rather sketchily. He's skeptical after he's done this a few times, but he'll still hang it together and it doesn't seem very real to him.

But even more than that, it's only held there by an equilibrium of forces. In other words, it requires forces to hold this thing in an equilibrium of force.

And his time factor is quite bad, really. It'll get worse as he goes on. He transplants. But then because it's very hard to make a universe there and that sort of thing, he'll become disgusted with it after a while or something like that, and he will try to transplant and move over again and start another universe. And he gets the idea after a while that, well, if you kind of perpetually create a universe you can have some kind of a state of havingness.

Now, let's look at its real, actual anatomy. And we find out that it is composed of material which is composed of atoms and molecules. A Swiss cheese is very, very solid compared to a piece of matter. You start looking at a piece of matter and you start swishing it around in cyclotrons or something of the sort, and you take a few electrons and push it around and then you shoot them this way and that. And you've got this steel bar. They don't hit anything. They just went right on through, that time. And then the next time they hit something and so on. It's almost as if you were firing a .22 bullet through the solar system, and then say, "Well, the solar system is solid. I hit Earth, didn't I?" Well, that wouldn't quite hold true.

And it's interesting, because he doesn't have any continuum of possession. The body alone, practically, gives him a continuum of possession. Of course, as he gets older, he'lllook in the mirror and it's not quite the same body either. So he'll say, "Youth, boyhood — well, that's just completely unreal." Or, "When I was a girl — let's see, when I was a girl I was um... tsk -uh... yeah, I... I remember the name of the town, the uh... Well, I was born. I was born. I've seen that in the birth records." Now, you want to know why youth disappears so chronically. I mean, every time you get hold of a preclear, you say, "Remember this in your youth." And he says, "What period of my life?" And you say, "Your youth." "Oh! Oh, well, after I got out of school so on..." "No," you say, "no, no, no, no, no. Your childhood. You know, childhood.

Now, quite in addition to that, you see the planets in motion, you see the sun in motion, and all of that. Similarly — according to theory, which nobody has proven — atoms and molecules in this. It's just a good theory. It doesn't necessarily hold all the way across the boards. In the science of chemistry and the science of physics, they have entirely different structure patterns which don't compare to each other today on account of nuclear physics — what works as an atom for a chemist does not work as an atom for a physicist, and vice versa, but they're evidently both working with matter. They have different pictures of the same object. And they're quite different. But they work for them, so that shows that we're working with a theory.

Real early, real early." Very often it hasn't occurred to this fellow for just years and years and years he ever had a childhood.

Now, that atom, which... You see that atom right on the end there?

Now, you take him in the middle span of life, this is particularly true. He's just forgotten his childhood. He doesn't have any of his possessions of childhood with him. He doesn't have the family, he doesn't have the house, he doesn't have any of the conveyances, none of the toys, the surroundings, that sort of thing, and he just doesn't have a continuum. So he just apparently doesn't go back to childhood. No "have." He's got a different body, really — it looks different.

That little one? All right. Now, that atom is doing a migration of some sort into this or it may be doing a migration off. And if two or three years from now we came along, probably the atom that's there has been worked clear over to there. In other words, this thing is not a static at all. Even as it sits at a state of rest, we find that it is full of motion.

You've got to call it to his attention... If, by the way, you call this to his attention, start getting him to remember this of childhood, and he will start to draw a similarity and he will patch up a time track. And all of a sudden he has a childhood. If you want to know how to get a childhood out, and so forth, just get this factor of "have" to work. It's "had," "should have had," "did not have." That's childhood. Childhood is actually the story, in most men, of "did not have." And that develops into "cannot have," which goes very easily into "will never have." For a long time he sort of could tell himself, "Well, someday I will have.

Let's take something else. You ever hear of a cosmic ray? Cosmic ray goes through almost anything. You have something like — I don't know what the figure is — something like twelve cosmic rays are bursting inside you every hour or every minute or every second or... There's something very explosive going on. And each one of them releases a megavolt. And first time I read this I said, "Gee, you couldn't possibly be here if this were taking place." That's what they assign mutation to. It's evident,though. You can watch an area with a photographic plate; that is to say, just expose a photographic plate that'll only record cosmic rays, and you get these explosions in a certain area.

There will be time: future time, future time, future time." And then that word future gets fainter and fainter and fainter and fainter. And when he's lost his hope for the future, he doesn't have a future and he will not make himself a future and he will not plan for a future and he won't even think logically. Why? Because logical thought depends upon you having a future.

And jokingly enough, if you're running the genetic-line track, there is an engram back there called the Cosmic Ray. And if you start running this on a preclear, you have a picnic. You don't tell him what this thing is; it's just simply an explosion, that's all. He was so tiny on the genetic line at the time this thing took place, that a cosmic ray explosion looked like the whole firmament blowing up to him. And its explosion is on the genetic line. It's very amusing. I just throw that in sideways. You find that on E-Meters. If sometime you haven't got anything better to do with a preclear and he's almost gone anyway or something, run the Cosmic Ray, just for amusement.

You're not going to think logically, unless you're thinking toward a goal.

The point here is that a true static, a true static would not have any of these properties. It couldn't have any of these properties. It might have qualities or capabilities or potentialities, but to have potentialities... It is evident, because this theory has worked out so beautifully and it's working out and taking in so much territory in seven-league boots, and preclears are recovering at such remarkable speed by the use of this theory, that it must have some validity. And if it has some validity, we have this on our hands, we have this fact: It does not require time, space, energy, matter, wavelength, substance, in order to have potential.

And in order to have a goal, you've got to have a future. Fellow won't have a goal. He doesn't have any time. His time track ends at any given moment right where he is. There's his time track. You'll find most of the people that you will help have their time track ended either in now, at which they're neurotic, or tomorrow, at the absolute outside, at which time they're pretty normal. The next few days, the next few weeks — that's future. That's a big future, that is. That brings a person up.

Theta can do something. Theta has a potential. It can locate energy and matter in space and time. It has a potential. And yet it doesn't have a beingness. It has a potential beingness. It doesn't have anything, though, in terms of matter and energy, space and time.

Now, actually, if you want to plot future, you've got to plot immortality and you've got to plot havingness. And if you plot these things, you will find out that some guarantee of the future, fear of the future and that sort of thing, prevents a person from having any future. There is no future to him; it just doesn't exist. And where does he go? He goes back to "should have had" or he goes back to "did have," and that's psychotic.

So right there, as I was telling you the other night, there's our Q level.

This fellow — you run into this fellow, he had a business failure. He had a big business failure. He was running this peanut stand, or something of the sort. And a taxicab hit it one day and spilled the peanuts all over and there nobody was insured and it wiped him out — a big business failure.

Now, that's way up there, and that's inexplicable at the moment, for one reason only: A datum must be evaluated by a datum of comparable magnitude.

Actually, I can be sarcastic about that, but if that fellow were sixty years of age and that was his total capital investment, it would probably break him so that he wouldn't be able to talk to you about it. It'd probably finish him to that degree — just that little peanut stand gone.

The God, the Devil. We understand God because of the Devil; we understand this, we understand that. These are double data. The basic unit of the universe is two, not one. And we suddenly announce, "Theta has as its potentiality the location of matter and energy in space and time, and can, as well, create space and time." Well, once we say that, and the same time we say it has no wavelength, it — boy, we're really describing a beast here. This thing couldn't possibly have any position in the real universe. And sure enough, it doesn't.

Now, let's say he's somewhere in his forties and he had this small store, and something happened and it went by the boards. He lost it. Well, he's... it'll make him pretty shaky. He isn't able, actually, to plot well, after that, about his futures.

But, we play this static... That is a true static, you see? And we play this true static against a kinetic — space, time, energy and matter — and what do we get? Life, life forms and energy and matter itself. That should become very interesting right about that point. The potentialities of this thing actually create energy and matter.

Well, let's take him — he's about twenty. Take him about twenty. And he has this big bicycle plant with about 250 employees, and he runs into a capitalist or a banker or — oh, I don't know — commissar or something of the sort.

Now, it doesn't say that it can destroy out of existence time, space, energy and matter, but it can create into existence, evidently, time, space, energy and matter. It can do that. Well, if it can do that, it doesn't necessarily have to destroy them out of existence. And you'd get your explanation of the MEST universe being an expanding universe and the law of conservation of energy being true.

He runs into one of these characters and they, of course, do the legal-legal necessary to cause them to have what somebody else has. And his bicycle plant with 200 employees passes into the hands of another. He's twenty.

The law of conservation of energy does not say that energy cannot be created.

What's he do? He goes out and he builds another bicycle plant. See, he's still got future. He still can have.

It just says that created energy doesn't dissipate, it translates. It becomes something else. All right.

All right. Take this girl. This girl is eighteen. She's pretty, they have a nice home, everything is going along fine. And one day the whole house burns down and the baby gets killed. Boom! You probably won't see her as a preclear, not unless she's in pretty bad shape before she got to that point, for the good reason, maybe her husband is twenty-one, twenty-two, he can still make money and things can go along all right. The next thing you know, why, they've got another home and she's had another baby and life is moting along somehow. Yes, it left a scar in her life, slowed her down a little bit, but it hasn't broken her.

Now, here we have this no-motion thing playing against that. Well, does that have just to do with life? Oh no, it doesn't. The electrician, in forming... The first chaps who did the very wonderful work in forming the basic laws of electricity did well, however, any investigator is liable to overlook some simplicity. It's very easy to get complex, but it's not very easy to get simple for these people, evidently. And someday somebody can say that about me, I guess, and probably will. So... But the point is this: that in the basic and elementary laws of electricity they had left something undescribed. It was there all the time, they used it all the time, but they didn't say it was there.

All right. We take this thirty-two-year-old girl and she has tried for twelve years to have a child. She finally succeeded. And one day the home burned down and the child was killed. You've got her as a preclear! You've got her as a preclear, right now, because she doesn't feel very much capable of a will have again. And it breaks her pretty badly.

Now, you wonder how that came about. Well, it's just so obvious, but they never connected it up on a gradient scale of logic to find out where the datum led, and so they'd never considered the datum of any importance.

Now, we go on up and we say something like this happened to somebody who was more advanced than this — I'm starting to show you something here.

Everybody knows in order to generate an electrical current that you have a plus terminal and a minus terminal, and you put a magnetic field in between, and as you shift the magnetic field between the plus terminal and the minus terminal you get an electrical flow. Everybody knows that, and that's all you need. That's all you need. Every basic textbook on electricity, whether it's in high school or an electronics laboratory or in the hands or in the library of Einstein happens to be in error. That is not all you need, not even vaguely all you need.

We find out that if something like that happened, I mean, this person... they'd probably just sit; they'd probably just sit and stare into space — be that bad.

You take an alternating current. In order to have — you just start looking this over — in order to have a flow, you've got to have a plus — minus and a minus — plus at the same time you have a plus and a minus. It's just one extra curve on that line. We'll let that go by the boards for a moment because that is subject to question.

Well, they've got themselves tied down on the time track with the age of the body. Their hopes, dreams and aspiration are all wrapped up in space and what they have in terms of a body and what the activity that body can accomplish -what activity that body can accomplish at that period of life. And when the body is very active it, of course, can have. And when it's less active, it's less able to have, and so forth. And the fellow has got his whole life monitored against this silly time track for one lifetime. And it's silly. There's nothing sillier.

Now, that's subject to question; we could argue about that. But you look it over in the light of what I'm going to give you here, and you'll see that this is not subject to question but it looks just too idiotically simple. And those of you who do not know basic electricity will say, "Well, that's perfectly natural and I'm sure that could not have been omitted." Well, I assure you that it has been omitted, because it changes the formula, the basic formula known as the alternating current formula in graphs.

The truth of the matter is a Theta Clear could step outside and start dressing that body up so he can turn on its hormone system again, amongst other things. This body doesn't have to go on the same old rolley-coaster of, see, conserve it. Oh, it grows. Everything is fine, rosy, wonderful. It's growing, he's changing, it's action, motion, "has"; it has aesthetic quality, and so forth. And, of course, he is — the world is his oyster and he is king — and doing, all that sort of thing. And then he gets up here to conserve and then he says, "Well, I have to be a little bit careful what I eat and so on, but I get along all right, and so on. I have a little bit of trouble now and then, but nothing like that." And he's still doing, doing.

Here is a motor. Here we take a motor. Now, there sits the motor and there's the terminal and terminal. Let's take these two things and we'll call these terminals. Now, we put a magnetic field between these two terminals.

And then one day he hits the decay part of the spiral. And there he goes.

And this is a plus terminal, this is a minus terminal. And we put a magnetic field between them. What happens when you take a plus side of the magnet and the minus side of the magnet and you just suddenly turn them loose?

And if he talks about anything, when he's about seventy, it's what he had, when.

They'll snap together, won't they? Well, according to present design, that is exactly what would happen to terminals.

He will talk about the shotgun that was given him on his tenth birthday. He will talk about his faithful old dog who has now been dead for fifty-six years. The world is full of dogs. All he's got to do is go out here in the street and say, "Whwwt!" and he's got a dog. But he's got to be... talk about poor old Rover.

You can't make electricity with the present formulas. If you... It's just that everybody has seen this generator, and they keep looking at the generator and they know what a generator looks like, and then they go and look at the formulas and then they make one. But if you took a savage out in the bush and he just took the formulas all by themselves and he says, "Gee, that's wonderful." And he'll take this terminal and hell take this terminal and he'll lay them together and he'll put a magnetic field between them, and they'll go clink. And he'll say, "All right. Now, I'll turn on the electric light." He'll say, "That's very strange. It says right here in the book, all you have to do is impose a magnetic field... All right. I'll do that again. We'll lay these two down here. All right. Now, we'll put a magnetic field between the two of them and then turn on this electric light again." Clink. "Okay. Must be something wrong. White men are crazy. We always knew white men are crazy. Shoot the next one and have him for dinner. We have done, at this moment, with modern electronics." What's left out of this? What is left out of this? The base — the base of the motor, now... the base of the terminals. That sounds to you terribly idiotic. It is idiotic. It is idiotic, but boy, it certainly took us with seven-league boots into a lot more knowingness than we ever had before. Because all of a sudden we looked at this and we said, "Where is the base described?" No place.

Just Rover, that's all that existed. It was just Rover.

How important is the base? Terminal, terminal, fixed to the base. We put a magnetic field between these two terminals and they will stay fixed. They do not collapse. And is it a plus terminal and a minus terminal together which is giving us an interplay? Or is it effort and matter? Are we putting mechanical energy up against this base in order to get electricity? Yes, we sure are.

Now, actually, you'd be surprised how aberrative childhood pets are.

We're pouring effort in between these two terminals, and the effort translates into energy. And the reason we can do this is because we're working the dichotomy between effort and matter — effort and matter. And so we get an electrical flow.

They're terrifically aberrative, because the child is confronted with this wonderful thing — a live toy, a live toy, and he knows that it can't be replaced.

But here's this base. It holds these two terminals apart. And unless these two terminals are held apart — in other words, unless they are located in time and space; unless, as you turn that electrical field, it imposes time on this and then time on this and time on this and time on this and time on this — and unless this base holds them apart and says, "Space, space, space, space, space" all the time, you'll get no flow. And what happens out of this?

Rover is never replaceable. Never. Use Creative Processing, he gets over Rover in an awful heck. Oh, it's very, very swiftly. Nothing to that. You can get over Rover in about ten minutes.

So help me, the anatomy of electricity falls out in our laps and we don't have to go on saying till the end of time, "Well, the first thing you know about electricity..." — which is what they say in the textbooks — "first thing you know about electricity is that nobody knows what electricity is." Well, we can at least know a little bit about what electricity is. Electricity is a dichotomy which comes about through locating things in time and space.

All right. Just using be, have, do. What did he have? So, let's do an additional assessment on our preclear, in addition to another one which you will learn by and by — Create and Destroy Assessment — and let's find out, then, the factors of past, present and future havingness; past, present and future doingness; past, present and future beingness; and we will have the time, space and energy of the thetan.

Now, if you have two poles, you might say — a plus and a minus — and they're located alternately in time and space, you're going to get current flow.

And what are we trying to do with the thetan? It's just one thing to get a fellow outside of his body. Yeah, that's just that, see? And that's very nice.

And this becomes very interesting, because it means that the thetan, of all things (theta, in the form of a thetan), actually sets up facsimiles. He can not only set up a facsimile, he can dream up and set up a facsimile in time and space which he has dreamed up, evidently, and then set up another facsimile and get an energy discharge between — just like an electric motor. But on what wavelength? Whew! Way up here, see? It's not the kind of a wavelength that lights this electric light; it's another kind of a wavelength. It's way up there. And evidently that doesn't require very much anything. But here's this fabulous characteristic.

But he's not very satisfied with that.

Now, let's take this motor base which is... We'll talk about the base -not this ashtray here — we'll talk about the base which is under the steam generator not too far distant from here which is holding the terminals of that big generator apart. We'll talk about that base. It's located here; it's probably not... a few miles, at the most, from here. We'll talk about that base.

Oh, well, he's just steamed up to get outside and be able to control the body from outside; he knows that's where he's supposed to be and everything.

Now, because there's time and space taking place there, and an alternation of time and space, you pour some coal in the thing, you see, that gives you heat and that forces some effort onto a rod. And because those terminals are held there, every time that thing turns over, it's grinding out an enforcement of time and space on the dichotomy of effort and matter, effort and matter, effort and matter, effort and matter — gives you time — effort — matter, effort — matter, effort — matter, space, space, space, space. And all the time that's happening, it raises the devil along these electrical lines. And that agitation which you see up there is the agitation which pours through as a result thereof, because the goal of a static is to be a static, and this static is very badly being upset.

He is on fire to go ahead and get this, and all that sort of thing, and so on.

Well, let's talk about that base. What's that base fastened to? It's fastened to a concrete floor. What's that concrete floor fastened to? That's fastened to a planet called Earth. What's Earth fastened to? Well, believe me, Earth's really fastened. It's got centrifugal and centripetal forces. It is held in equilibrium in a nearly circular, but actually elliptical... It's very nearly circular. You'd be surprised how close to a circle Earth makes around the sun. It's called an ellipse almost for politeness's sake. And it swings around the sun, and the gravity of the sun and the gravity of Earth interlock, one against the other, and we have Earth held in place — but severely held in place.

And you get him outside and he's stable outside and he can remain outside, and you say, "Well, that's good enough." He says, "Now, wait a minute. Now," he says, "let's get on with developing some energy and getting these perceptions a little bit better. Actually, I got to have these perceptions better," and so on. He's got space all scrambled up or other things all scrambled up, somehow or other. He's got to perceive these things better.

And the sun is held in place by the general magnetism — gravity, you might say — between itself, other suns and its force vectors as it travels through space. It is bound on a certain course in relationship to the hub of the universe. And it is part of a galaxy which is going in a certain direction in a certain part of the universe.

Well, how does he perceive these things better? He perceives these things better in terms of beingness, havingness, doingness. Therefore he has to be , able to shift postulates. So you just do an assessment to find out what he didn't have, what he doesn't have, what he'll never have, what he had, what he has, what he will have.

& And that is traveling in relationship to other galaxy's ... [gap]

By the way, you will come right up against one with that "will have." He'll suddenly say to you... oh, he can tell you what he will not have. Oh yes, life is probably all gone for him. It always is. But in terms of what he will have, he's liable to sit there and just gawp for a couple of minutes. He hasn't anything up the time track to have when he gets there. And this will puzzle him and puzzle him and puzzle him and puzzle him, and is actually enough of a puzzle to actually debar some person from becoming a Theta Clear. He can't figure out what he'll have. So if he can't figure out what he'll have, hell have no future time, if he's a Theta Clear. He knows what he'll have: "Ill have a body." He knows that; that's all he knows, though. "I'll just have a body. Well, can't have anything else, naturally. Couldn't have health, too." I mean, usually if he's in that area of the Tone Scale, you see, well, he could have a body. It probably... body would have to be pretty sick, because otherwise somebody else would want it, if it wasn't sick So, you say, "Do." All right, now, "Done, doing" — doing, very exciting.

Now, they talk about this universe being expanding. That's cute. That's very cute. That is a wonderful way of just skipping the whole point. See. How could you have some space that was expanding? Well, it'd have to be expanding in relationship to more space, and that'd have to be expanding in relationship to other space. And you get this eat-chasing-his-tail proposition around of matter is energy which is congealed in space and time and all that sort of thing. Well, we're not interested in that.

Now, you say, "Will do." And he'll say, "Well, I can go over that — I tell you what I won't be... won't do. I'm not gonna go around and do this and do that," and he lays down a lot of postulates which he'll later erase. But "What'll I do if I'm Theta Clear? Well, what... what will I do if I'm..." See? "What's my goals?" All of a sudden, you take this fellow and he's built his lifetime up. And they've said, "If you drink babroot this will happen and if you take that, this will happen and that will happen. And if you drive an Armstrong Snorts something else will happen, and wear Bond Street bumps and that's what'll happen." And here we go, we've just got it... all the will-haves. Will-haves are all related to body. And there isn't a single advertising... You can look on these lorries as they go by out here. You can look on every single lorry.

Let's take a look at this and say that there's a finite limit on the universe. We have no right to say that. In other words, just say there is. There's a finite limit on this here universe that we've got here, and it doesn't go on forever in all directions. And let's look at an axiom. This axiom works out.

You can go down in the underground, you can look in all the cars, you can look at all those signs, they go downstairs, and nowhere will you find anybody advertising anything for a thetan to have.

We find everywhere we look that absolutes are really unobtainable.

Now, that should tell you something. This society isn't rigged that way.

You can't even attain absolute zero. Guys have gotten awfully close to absolute zero; they've really gotten things cold. But absolute zero would be absolute motionlessness, and they haven't attained it yet.

He'll have his own universe and he'll be able to make himself effective upon this one, but if you can't figure out something for him to have and if he can't figure it out for himself — hell have to figure it out for himself — why, he isn't going to want to have any future time as a thetan. But hell want to have future time as a body, and so you've got your identifications mixed. So he'll want body space, not thetan space. He'll want all... he don't want all space, he just wants the body's space, because the body will have and therefore by being very covert about the whole thing, he will be able to acquire, because he has a body.

All right. It's unobtainable, so let's say infinity is unobtainable, too. Doggone it! Somewhere theta could be said to be holding a conceived time and space to achieve an energy and a matter, and that makes the material universe. Now, that solves very nicely — I mean, we could say that very nicely.

You know, you go to the theater. As you walk past the ticket window, they say to you, "Ticket, please." And you get a ticket and you get to see the show. Well, in the MEST universe, you walk past the ticket window and they say, "Body, please." And you say, "Got a body. Here it is." And they say, "All right, here's the show." And he doesn't have a body, he doesn't have a body. That's all there is to that. And he's got to resolve this. It presents a fellow with a considerable problem. He's got to solve it himself.

Actually, we've only removed the problem one step further on, but we do have a connection here. We do have a definite connection. Here's the base of this generator down there in the electric-light plant, and the base of that generator leads right straight back to theta, as we have described theta.

Actually, it's a very easy problem to solve. What he'll have, well, it can be a very unlimited affair, believe me. But he has to understand a lot of the mechanics. But you want a lot of the mechanics of what he's doing. That's why you theta clear somebody and they're not satisfied even vaguely. They want to go on up the line, because they've run into this: be, have and do. And you've run into it past, present and future and you resolve that.

The second I saw this, "Oh, my God," I said, "there's self-determinism.

Now, if you want your thetan to have power... A thetan... it's just no good for a Theta Clear to go around with no horsepower. I mean, he walks up and picks up something — he couldn't pick up that. That's a fact. He couldn't knock the catch — most of your thetans — on that. He'd come around and he would... It's just horrible; he just can't do anything with it.

Aha, self-determinism. Ya-pa-pow" And it sure didn't take very long to take an ice pick to that little cat-chase-the-tail matter, energy, space and time and just bust up that happy little group, because we had a higher Q. And any time you have a higher Q and you've adequately described a higher Q, even if you've postulated or theorized that it's there, if it is a workable Q, you can evaluate things below that level.

You would be surprised in how his morale picks up, as one fine day he's just sort of... he's given it all up, but he feels pretty good this day, and he knocks over this old bread crumb and it goes skitter. And he says, "For goodness sakes. Fifteen inches — fifteen inches, right down the fairway. There it goes." And he'll go around, he'll try to duplicate it, and it will have frightened him so that he probably won't be able to do it for a few times. And then he'll get back on to it again and he'll take on a smaller crumb. And then one day he'll be sitting in a restaurant and he'll all of a sudden go ptock! with one of the rolls, and it flies out into the middle of the room. He says, "What do you know!" Actually, it isn't any sense being anything unless you can move things. So you want your thetan to develop energy and horsepower.

And we stepped up, and all of a sudden got the qualities of something which was above the level of matter, energy, space and time. And we got what the quality was and we look around at a man, and let's take a look at this man and we see that this man is trying to be self-determined. That he's very interested in being.

& And if he's gonna develop energy and horsepower, you have to resolve ...

And let's find out why people are sick. We've already found this out.

Their self-determinism has been upset in this quarter or that, and when we relieve that, they get well. Empirical. All done by theory, but empirical evidence kept bearing it out.

Now, let's take this definition... let's take this definition of self determinism. We say self-determinism is the effort of an individual to attain the goals of theta. What are the goals of theta? Goals of theta seem to be the ability to impose matter and energy, time and space — not just on time and space. It can create... theta can create, conserve, alter (and I'm not sure about the last; it would hold, on every other theory, but I'm just not sure about it) and destroy matter, energy, time and space. That could be said to be a goal of theta — a goal of theta.

And you'll find universes running in cycles. You'll find a single life span running in a cycle. And everywhere you look, you find everything has beneath it the common denominator of this cycle of creation, growth, decay and death. And that is the repeated, continuous cycle everywhere you look.

And let's look at energy, and we'll find energy has three characteristics: start, change and stop. And that compares to creation — all the other things -alteration and death. And we find that's what energy does: it can start, it can change and it can stop. Oh, boy, are these things starting to fit together very nicely.

Now, continuing in this matter of be, have and do, I have made it very complicated so you'll realize that there's a considerable problem and I'm very, very clever to have solved it. And when I showed you this little girl or, let us say worse than that... Who's got a match? When I show you this, here is...

Now, let's see if that applies to an individual. Does it apply to an individual to such a degree that by using the definition of self-determinism in times of the highest electronics so far extant here, do we suddenly get a preclear weller faster? Oh, boy, do we. By about ten thousand to one. It's just fabulous! The technique works. You can ask any early first class. They'll tell you, "Well, yes, Standard Operating Procedures works. Yeah, placing things in time... yeah, yeah." You try it yourself, "Yeah, yeah, that works." That's how you get a fellow well; that's how he becomes more selfdetermined; that's how he becomes able to handle this material universe. He goes on up the line.

See that match flare? Where's that energy? Just where's that energy?

Now, let's take another one: Creative Processing. Creative Processing, Scientology 8-8008, the rehabilitation of the individual's own universe and the reduction of the MEST universe in terms of importance to him. Now, we just take that process; let's look at it. Is it a good valid process? Yes, we can take Creative Processing all by itself and make a person well Just like that. Isn't that fascinating? Don't have to pay any attention to this MEST universe at all. Tells you immediately there's tons of universes. There'd have to be. There just have to be.

Male voice: It's changed and done all sorts of things.

All right. You're in the high and rarefied air of theory. But that theory actually boils down to something very simple: a static and a kinetic. You have a no-motion acting against an all-motion. And a no-motion acting against an all-motion gives you energy. And what's motion? It's time and space. What are the capabilities of theta? Creation, conservation, alteration, perhaps destruction, of matter and energy and time and space. What's self-determinism? Same as theta.

It has done all sorts of things, that's right. We hope it has. But that flare of the match is there someplace. Now, I want you to close your eyes - close your eyes and take a look at that match flaring again. Do you see that match flare again?

And so, if you want action, if you want these other things, can we just shift these factors around, just willy-nilly, and fit them this way and fit them that way and fit them any other way and invent six processes now and a hundred tomorrow and you can't think up a good one, just remember your definition and say, "Well, it ought to work this way" — zing, zing — and bang, break a case? Sure. Yeah. That's very interesting.

Male voice: Yes.

All of a sudden, we've burst out into the sunshine of a very, very clear concept. Highest potentiality of theta is evidently the creation and management of universes. The way you create and manage a universe is you invent some space and then you have to invent some time. And between the time and the space you have to have something in them, so you put something in them. And you... to do that, you have to use energy, and that... congeal that into matter and you got a universe. And that's very simple to do. Nothing much about this, and there's actually no limitations upon the creation of this; I mean, that's all you do.

Okay. Well, now, you made a recording of the match. There are about five ways you could have made this recording. It's no wonder somebody gets a little bit crowded up with a number of ways one can think and remember. You could actually just create the flare of the match again, and you could create it with enough accuracy so that you would see the flare of the match again.

Now you... Let's take a writer sitting at his desk, and he's pounding a typewriter, and so what's he doing? Inventing time and space, and energy and matter and so on. Only trouble is, he takes it out and he compares it to the real universe and the real universe says, "I'm real because I can kick your shins in, but that cliff you just invented in that story, it isn't even vaguely going to hurt anybody." And the fellow has been beaten down like this for an awful long space of time, so he doesn't bother to fix up his cliffs so that if you kick them they kick back. This doesn't say he can't. Doesn't say he can either, but it just doesn't say he can't.

You could also create all the perceptions having to do with the flare of the match. You could do that. Or you could recover the time-space moment of the flare of the match, and look at it. Or you could simply knock out, for the moment, your time-space differentiation and look at the match flaring. That one we'll go into in a moment.

Now, when you guide this poor writer, who has been comparing his universe toward the MESTuniverse, the MEST universe has been saying, "I'm real, yours is not." Everybody tells him that, by the way. All criticism and everything sums down to this: "What you've just thought of is not real because here is the real universe and it's much bigger and tougher and it's an ally of mine, and we're going to crush you with it." If you're going to get into an involved argument — criticism of arts, invalidation of Joe Louis as a boxer, the way you wipe out companies with stocks and bonds sales, or any of these things — you'll have somebody rushing in with a conclusive, proven fact which crushes out an imagined or unsupported fact, and there you go. So this universe was designed on the beautiful basis of "You'd better agree with me or else." And so is that a basic design of any universe; otherwise it won't hold together. But of course, very few universes get so slopped over as this one seems to have done.

Now, quite in addition to this, you could have taken energy — a ridge -and made a facsimile which recorded all the perceptions that were present at that time and have held these, and then just flipped the time factor on that ridge and looked at it again. You just looked at it again. You just took a picture of it and then you looked at it again.

Now, this universe, of course, doesn't occupy all the space there is and it doesn't occupy all the time there is. You could compose another universe and it wouldn't go at right angles to this universe, because this universe, if you knew the truth of it, isn't here. But boy, it's sure got a way to say it's real.

Now, you could have taken some of this energy immediately before you and recomposed it and then looked at it. And those are the five ways in which you could have seen that match flare.

This universe really isn't here; it's an illusion.

Now, all those ways are present. You wouldn't be able to perceive this material universe at all, at all, at all, if you were not continually manufacturing time and space, if you weren't continually manufacturing the triangle. And so you go right along with it, and you continually manufacture the triangle.

The most interesting part about it is, as hard as physicists have worked to prove, in natural history, all sorts of things and so on... Natural philosophy, they used to call it; yeah, that's right. Way up since the time of Aristotle, one of the things they really concentrated on proving all the way along the thing: materialism — it's real, it's real, it's real, it's real. And they kept pointing at it. They kept saying, "It's real, it's real, it's real, it's real," and then their finger went through. And when you got up to that stage, why, you walk up to a physicist, he doesn't know whether he's a monk or a scientist today, because he has proven conclusively that what he's working with really isn't there.

Don't do this to a preclear, but this happens to work. Don't do it to him unless you care to assume that your judgment is sufficient to tell you that he is not needed anywhere along the track from here on. You make him pull all of his perception into present time. Remember everything he ever said or did or felt in present time, instanter, right now. He won't be much good after that, unless you process him back to a point where he'll differentiate time and space again. Because you've just told him all time and space are the same, and you've told him to grab all the energy he has parked in all the time-spaces which form his time track and pile it all together in one lump.

You get Sir James Jeans and others and they think and they think and they think and they think and they finally say, "It finally boils down to a thought, as near as we can think it out." And it's very fascinating, but that is physics. Its evolution has been toward the direction of demonstrating with great conclusiveness that they are working very materialistic with something that is quite illusory and really isn't there.

And that could be quite cataclysmic, and actually is.

But if you agreed and everybody else agreed and if you're... as a theta being, if you were forced to agree continually that it was there and it was there — do you realize that you're able to create time and space? So if you create time and space, if you've agreed and agreed and agreed with the MEST universe, the time and space which you create is the MEST universe time and space. The energy which you find in the MEST universe — you can create it and put it there.

Now, in deep hypnotism, narcosynthesis, this can be particularly horribly effective, and is one of the dangers which makes narcosynthesis impractical. Narcosynthesis does nothing if not create a tremendous dependency — at least does that. The next thing it does is it takes a complete record of everything that happened in narcosynthesis and turns it into an engram.

And so you all sit around and here's the MEST universe, here's the MEST universe — create time and space, time and space, time and space, and oh, boy, we mustn't get out of agreement on this. Let's put it in there very carefully.

It's very astonishing to people who are using narcosynthesis to suddenly have an auditor slip the preclear back into the moment, have the preclear recapture that moment again and inspect it thoroughly and run it through and run it through and run it through, and all of a sudden have all the perceptions turning up that occurred during the narcosynthesis, even at its deepest and most unconscious moment. That's a baffler. That isn't supposed to happen, yet it can be done.

I bet if one of you went away and stayed on a desert island for several years, and stayed very much out of connection with things and there was nothing there, like a sun cycle or something, to demonstrate things to you; you'd come back and find that you have missed it. You'd probably get back here in 1954 when it ought to be 1955 or something, and it'd be very embarrassing to you.

Now, out of these five ways of reperceiving, there are two of them that are aberrative above the others. One of them is pulling the energy into present time where it sticks, and say, "That energy now rides in present time." And the other one is — and it's practically the same thing; practically the same thing — jarring it into an association short circuit. That would be the same as getting a key-in. Fellow has an engram, then he starts to get key-ins and key-ins and key-ins and key-ins and he gets into this horrible and deplorable state of affairs.

Men get very anxious about this. Even Robinson Crusoe, with no calendars, time clocks or anything to worry about, carefully kept the passing of each day. Great. Awful concern about this — horrible anxiety. That's because you don't think, anymore, you could create one. Of course, you've got to keep this one. Now, the funny part of it is, is there really is no real concern about that, because this universe is very easy to find. There's too many people concentrating on this moment of time and space.

Now, you see here what we're talking about. We're talking about the basic mechanisms of the mind. Now, we've got an awful lot of material in the earlier books, in Dianetics and so on, all these basic mechanisms, and each one is actually taking up another mechanism or a faster mechanism or a swifter way of using that mechanism. But what do you know? That material all works; it's all valid and it's part of the same puzzle right now; it's part of the same picture that you're looking at at this moment. We just looked at it harder and harder, and I just worked with it longer and longer and I probably... and found better and better common denominators, better and better definitions to do it faster and faster. But we go back to the earliest method there was and, yes, it still obeys what we're doing now. That is to say, we're handling experience and energy. And of course, that's part of the three sides of this triangle. We're handling something. We're putting something under control when we're erasing an engram. The mechanisms of erasure and the answers to that are contained in these things which I'm just telling you about.

What happens to your preclear when you send him back down the track?

Now, when I say time is "have," it's simply that. You can be without having. You can have pretty near without being. You can, too! They go down the street and they say, "You see that big house there?

He can create the time and space of his past, he can put it in there. Or he can read it off actual energy, which is sort of suspended.

That's Doakes's house. He's dead." So you see, you can have without being; you can be without having.

Now, what's all this have to do with be, have and do? Well, it has a great deal to do with be, have and do because when you translate, now, from selfdeterminism into matter, energy, space and time, you can get a direct result in terms of experience. You can say "time is" in terms of experience, "beingness is" in terms of experience, "doingness, then, is" in terms of experience.

Now, this becomes very interesting from this standpoint that you have to have and be in order to do. And doingness consists of thinking and acting as its two subdivisions, thinking and acting as its two subdivisions.

And if you can do those tricks, and if I could communicate it to you, you wouldn't be wandering around in a fog about what time is.

You have to be in order to think. And you can't help but have to some slight degree if you think. And if you do you will have. And if you have you will be. Oh, boy. This thing's going around in a beautiful circle again. What do you know! We got another, as the pilots call them, a rat race — round and round and round and round and round.

What's time? "It just sort of goes by, I mean..." Only it doesn't go by, because you're right here. "Well, it's change, you see, in space. Well, oh, clocks. Heh-heh." Big relief, you see, you say, "Watches! Yeah, watches.

You see, we define havingness in terms of beingness and doingness. And we determine doingness in terms of beingness and havingness. And we determine beingness, actually — if we want to observe somebody being, in this universe at least — in terms of doing and having. We say, "What's Mr. Jinks worth?" "Well, Mr. Jinks has..." We take two sides of this now. Let's take plus-doingness. A person can do so much that they decrease their beingness and their havingness. And in order to do anything very fast, you have to actually risk your beingness and havingness. Race driver. Airplane pilot. He has to rate down his beingness and rate down his havingness in order to do swiftly.

They... " Then you stop to think for a moment. "Those hands are in the same place; they're just making a motion in space. Hmm. Closest we can get to time is motion." Gee, as close as we can get to time is motion. That's obvious, isn't it? Very, very obvious.

Now, let's take this... another fellow. He works so slowly that he is the eighth assistant janitor — no beingness to amount to anything — and he doesn't have a thing. And he's doing too slowly. So, you see this factor of doing is actually monitoring being and having. Or let's take it in reverse, more properly, and being and having monitor doing. The beingness and the havingness of the person establish his doingness.

Well, that's not as close as you can get to time.

Now, the goal of every capitalista is to have and have and have and have and have, and if he has enough, then he can dispense with doing. Only, is that the way it works out? That's always the grimmest jest of the material universe.

I'll tell you how close you can get to time: motion. But that really isn't the way you ought to say it. What you ought to say is "Time is the illusory word which you put up to describe as the existence of motion." And the truth of the matter is, time isn't there at all, but motion is. What's motion? Well, that's great. I mean, you could go around in circles like this just for hours and hours and get dizzier and dizzier and it wouldn't do your preclear any good at all.

The more you have, the more you have to do. And you can acquire possessions, and at first you're yourself, and then you get so you own something and, boy, are you on the time track. Right now, you own something, you're on the time track.

And that's what Homo sapiens has been doing. He has been agreeing to this motion, agreeing to this space, agreeing to this time, agreeing to this motion, agreeing to this space, agreeing to this time, until he doesn't feel he can create anything anymore, and so he just goes on agreeing and agreeing.

You're on its time track.

And how sick can he get? How sick can he get? Just take at random a strata through the society and pick up your real sick ones, and what do you find? He has agreed almost 100 percent. How do you know he's agreed 100 percent? Because he has no more illusions of his own. He has no more hopes, he has no more dreams, he's a sick guy. In fact, if you want to find that fellow, I invite you to go out to the graveyard, because he's dead. He is no longer a living organism.

And the more you own, you say, "Well now, if I own rawr-rawr and so on and so on, boy, will I be." You'll be what it wants you to do. You'll be what it wants you to be, eventually, if you go and overload this line too heavily. You can possess yourself into an eternity of time track.

Now, you want to find how bad off your preclear is. As a matter of fact, you can just take a look at a preclear and you'll know how bad off he is: how thoroughly he is agreeing with the material universe. And the more thoroughly he has agreed with the material universe, the worse he's going to be.

The Hindu, for instance — he instinctively works against this. He says he doesn't want to have anything. He just denies everything; he doesn't want anything. And if he doesn't want anything, then can he really increase his beingness! Well, it so happens he's going to enormously increase his beingness, and the way to do that is to cut down doingness to zero. Now, he's going to cut down his havingness to zero and he's going to cut down his doingness to zero in order to increase his beingness to infinity.

That's horrible, isn't it?

Well, he still holds on to a body. And the second he holds on to a body he has something. The second he's holding on to a body he's on the time track. If he cuts down doingness to nothing he's putting his body in jeopardy, but he still has his body. And his beingness is not very good, let me assure you. It's not very good.

Because... Several reasons for this. Agreement, by the way, is a oneway flow. You start to do something to the universe and the universe says, "Gonna do something to me, huh? Bap!" You go out, you're going to play.

If you practice these same tenets, your beingness will go downhill so fast that you will wonder how you got there. You didn't see that toboggan slide, but you must have come down one. Or it must have been an elevator shaft you dropped down, or something, because here all of a sudden you are in the basement.

You're going to be a steamboat, something, and you... little kid, and he goes running down the street, "Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo" — Crash! Well, he didn't run into a dock, and he hasn't got any fenders out. He fell on concrete and it skinned his knee. He said, "I am a steamboat." And the MEST universe says, "You're a little boy in a very destructible body. We've got you taped. We've convinced you." And every time this little boy tried to put up a big illusion, every time he tried to do this, what happened to him? MEST universe said, "Nuh-unn." And yet, horribly enough, the only parts of the MEST universe that are habitable, the only parts of the MEST universe which have any meaning to life itself are those parts which have been conquered by life.

This doesn't work slowly. There is nothing slow about suddenly saying, "I'm going to deny the material universe, I'm not going to have any part of the material universe, and I'm not going to do anything about it. And therefore I can be." And if you think it goes to infinity, it doesn't; it goes to zero, right along with do and have. And it's just a horrible rat race from which man has been trying to escape, endlessly trying to escape.

The lichen, the moss, in operation together, in terms of soil. And you get some soil, then you get some little plants, and pretty soon — so on.

He gets into a balanced proposition, but that balance depends upon the universe which he is patronizing. What universe is he patronizing? If he's patronizing the MEST universe and he's set up his stand in the MEST universe, by having MEST he is able to establish his beingness. You see, it's very hard to establish identity unless you've got a bracelet or a union card or a ration book or your fingerprints are on file someplace, or you've got a body that has the fingerprints to be on file. And you just sail out as a Theta Clear and say, "Well, no body — Boom! Now, we're not going to worry about this body anymore; we'll put it down there on the bus stop and walk off and leave it." And the frame of reference, in terms of other people, of your beingness, is gone — right there. You don't exist as far as they're concerned. You just wouldn't exist.

It'd only be a psychotic that would devote his lifetime to making a pet out of a pebble. He would not be interested in any life form or anything of the sort. He'd just have this pebble. And this pebble, he'd pet it and this was...

Now, if you were constructing your own universe and you were existing perfectly well in that or if you were in a cooperative construction of a universe of some sort, and you just suddenly launched out and you knocked off from the MEST universe, in order to have any beingness in your own universe, boy, would you have to do. But what would you do? You would accomplish havingness, and you'd have a universe. The anatomy of a universe.

Nuh-nn. Life is fondest of life, and only life graces this universe, really. The stark, utter chill of the outer dark above the ionosphere and the Heaviside layer is quite emphatic, quite emphatic. It's cold up there.

You'd have to have space, time and energy. Space, time and energy. Now, how do you mark time? Does time exist for you? Actually, in absence of havingness, no. What happened to your past lives? You've still got some facsimiles kicking around; you still got some memories kicking around; you certainly have some aberrations kicking around from an awfully long track. I'll ask you just to take that on with a big doubt and so forth, if you want to. It's something we can safely let you doubt, very safe to let you doubt that, very safe to let you repudiate it and so forth, and you can hold it as long as you don't get near an E-Meter or an auditing couch.

All right. Now, what's an illusion? An illusion is a universe, in embryo -unformed, thin, gauzy. But gee, a universe of the illusion characteristic, theoretically, could be as strong and as tough and as resistant as this stuff.

One fellow was saying, "I couldn't possibly have lived before." And some fellow said something on the order, "Well, shut your eyes. Now, what was it like a million years ago?" And the fellow says, "Well, so-and-so and so-and-so, and I was living in this cave... Hey, wait a minute. What are you doing?" It just never occurred to him to look before. Why? He didn't have anything back there. He's lost all possession, including a body. All his possession is gone, so he has no connecting link with that time. And if he has no connecting link with the time in terms of havingness, the time does not exist in terms of beingness.

Theoretically. And what is the thing which delights audiences most? Stage magic. People are always showing that something solid has just turned up where it shouldn't be. He can create matter. Fascinating. He can also reduce space, and so on. These are the tricks of the magician. Audiences are delighted with them. Why? If the audience was just supposed to agree with the material universe, they'd get awful mad at that magician. He just keeps on telling them, "You can disagree with the material universe." All right. Let's look this over very carefully and not strain too hard on it, because it's awfully easy. And the definitions which are necessary to an auditor and to a very good understanding of Scientology are that selfdeterminism tends to attain the goals of theta. The goals of theta are to achieve the potentialities of theta, and this is the creation of matter and energy in space and time, and the creation of space and time in which to create matter and energy. And that puts you up above the level of space, time, matter and energy, and we can get off of that racetrack for the first time. And how do you get off the racetrack?

Now, you could start working somebody on the track. How do you pick up the reality of the past track? You just pick up the things the fellow had.

You're waiting to hear about this. Here's space. Down here at the lefthand corner of the triangle we have time, and over here we have energy.

Pick up his body, get him to put his body through the paces. All of a sudden he comes into the ownership again of his body. Get him to pick up the area, get him to pick up a few of his possessions, and will he start getting confused about then, because he'll start wondering what happened to his possessions.

Now, what on earth... how do you relate those things to experience?

And he will get sort of... kind of mad about it, too. He gets upset.

Well, that's very simple. Except you can't relate time to experience, because that's an abstract; you know that.

Who's got these things now? He had this nice whimmegagoodgit and so on.

And space, of course, doesn't relate to experience either, because, well, actually, how big is a piece of space? Well, it's as big as it's bounded. Mmm, that's awfully suspicious; it's as big as it's bounded.

And there was this quarterhorse (the quarterhorse is probably dead; probably died after he did) and so forth. But that doesn't account for what happened to the sulky. And... But the fellow realizes and there's that property he had... that property he had down in East London: Who's got that now?

And energy — well, nobody sees the motion of energy, so... but energy is obviously there and we kind of take that one for granted, too.

That was a nice house. Boy, does he get upset! And he'll get upset enough because he can't connect up with his past time to wipe it out.

And now we know all about the material universe, and we don't need to know any more to relate this to experience. And now that we're all straightened out, why, just the realization that we know all about it should make us all Clear.

"Well, I've started a new life. I'll have to go on bravely into the future and I'll just have to make it up some other way." He's pretty unhappy about it.

Well, it hasn't made physics clear, not clear for anybody for an awful long time. It's been getting worse and worse and worse. They're at a frantic stage now. They have a mathematics born out of Planck's quantum of energy.

But you say, "Why don't people remember their past existences?" Actually, you can take a preclear and get him out of the body and say, "All right, now. Let's pick up the memory bank that has to do with playing the piano." "Okay." He'll say, "There's one around here someplace or another. Here... here's... here's a... here's a... one with a... but it's got a bad facsimile in it." "Well, why don't you take the bad facsimile out and take that out and strip that away. Have you thrown it away? All right, darn it. Now, plug it into the motor controls." "Okay." "Plug it in the motor controls." "Okay." Don't pay any more attention to him; don't ask him, "Can you play a piano now?" or anything invalidative like that. Just forget about it. And if you come around where that fellow has got a piano or something of the sort, why, he'll be playing the piano.

And quantum mechanics are the most gorgeous mathematics — if you want to call them that — that you ever laid your eyes on. They throw three factors and a guess and equate it with a maybe and they've got it! And that is a symptom of getting frantic.

You'll say to him, "Say, do you realize that... doesn't it seem strange to you?" He'll say, "What?" "Playing the piano." "Mm, why should that seem strange? What's the matter? Something wrong with you? I could play the piano. I could always play the piano. What's the matter with you?" "Well, for a long time you couldn't play the piano." "Oh. As for that, that's of no importance." Bang, bang, bang, and plays ...knocks off Mozart or something of the sort. Couldn't play a note twentyfour hours before. It's a very interesting fact.

By the way, they don't work any... I'm sure they don't work anything, really, by quantum mechanics. I think they go in and they take bars of uranium, or something, and they juggle them around, you see? "Yeah, quick! Write up the formula. Yeah, we found out it's this many bars and that much ener — Write up the formula, huh? That's right. That makes forty millicuries. Now, put down the answer there. Now, write backwards. Now, we'll put in the constant and the c and the quantum, so on. Now, turn it in to the front office, quick." I'm sure they must do it this way.

Or perhaps you'd walk down the street and you've told this fellow to plug in his French. And he's plugging in his French. You've told him to plug in his Oxford education, or anything of the sort. And you go down the street and here's this Frenchman and he's gab-gab, walla-walla, gab-gab, walla-walla, comment, nyah, wah, nyee, nyee, ror.

All right. What can we put here then? We know these three factors.

And you say, "What accent are you speaking with?" He says, "Well, actually, I'm speaking with a southern French... southern France accent, and so forth. I never could stand Parisian," He wouldn't comment on it, but the day before he couldn't speak French. See, it doesn't seem odd to him because it's real.

What can we put here? There's something belongs here. Mm-hm. Space is "be." Let's relate this to experience. Space is "be." Now, the reason space is "be" is because one can be without acting. That right? He doesn't require motion to be. Let's just look at that. But he would require — let us hypothesize — some space to be. He'd have to be where? Well, all right — there. But you notice, also, that even in the English language, the verb to be does not require an object. In fact, it can't take one. All right.

That's what truth is. When a man recovers a truth, it's true to him. It isn't strange to him.

That's true in practically any language, by the way. In other words, beingness; isness. Isness. All right, that's just space. That's simple; be is space.

But, again, he is marked up against his past because he has something from it. Have. What's he got in the future? What's he got in the future? Well, you show me a fellow who is upset and who isn't getting along well, and I'll show you a fellow who has no hope of future possession. He hasn't got anything in the future.

Now, here you are; you're sitting in this space. Now, we can chop it off, as far as time is concerned. And even though we chop that very thin and stop time down to zero, you would still be in this room. You wouldn't fly out of this room, just because we stopped time. But boy, you'd sure fly out of it if we stopped space.

The future. And all time is... Now, don't say, "We are bending time and redefining time in terms of having." Oh-ho, no, we're not. We're not bending or redefining. We're talking about time when we're talking about having. And time is the manifestation of havingness — time is havingness. I mean, that is the experience connected with time; the experience of time is havingness.

All right. So, we have space is "be." Well, now, over here we have time.

Now, you keep on, then, with your illusion of havingness by creating space-time, space-time, space-time; and by continual agreement with the MEST universe, the MEST universe, you think, permits you to have. And it's all it permits you to have. And you completely overlook the fact that probably even in the aust universe, if you got over this insidious agreeing with it all the time, you could probably put almost anything you wanted into the MEST universe. And if you had enough force, enough beingness and enough doingness, you could make it stick. You could probably manufacture pound notes just by holding it out and say, "There's your pound note." Now, that's theoretical, but that would be crossing universes. We're not interested in crossing universes, we're simply interested in a man's own universe. His own life is his own universe. And even in this MESTuniverse, he may think he's living in a universe which belongs to somebody else or something of the sort, but any part of that universe which he perceives, really, is his to some degree. It is his. And his investment in the universe is continual space-time-energy, space-time-energy, space-time-energy, space-time-energy.

And everybody knows that time is just an interrelationship, but it's a very funny thing about time. Let me tell you how I ran into this. I kind of collided with this thing on a dark night with a preclear that was mighty skittish. I had tried everything on this preclear

He's turning over like a twelve-cylinder car on that basis. He's just going on that all the time: zingety-bing, zingety-bing, zingety-bing, zingtyings, spacetime-energy, space-time-energy. He's at that continually. And the second he ceases to be at that, he isn't, as far as this universe is concerned. He just isn't, at that moment.

& including paragoric and this preclear kept insisting that this symptom was still there, and the symptom was still there, and the symptom was still there, and the symptom was still there. I started running — well, all right... She seemed so proud to have it; that was what started to get me. "Now, get having it." "Now, get not having it." "Now get having it." "Now get having to have it." "Now having not to have it." Ptock, ptock, ptock, ptock, ptock, ptock. The dichotomy of "have" and "not have," you see — back and forth.

Now, the trick we're doing in Scientology in Theta Clearing is demonstrating for the individual his beingness as independent of having a body, which is a special kind of havingness. Now, as soon as you can demonstrate that and get him stably exteriorized from a body so that he doesn't have to have a body to be, he actually can assume a higher plane of being. He can assume that plane then, because he isn't subject to the terrific liabilities but he is not outlawed from having. He isn't outlawed from having, he can still manage his body. He just doesn't have to be in it.

She says, "It's gone." "Oh?" Now, I had run a lot of other things, and any one of those — I'd run responsibility and I'd run this and I'd run that and I'd run other things, and Papa and Mama and husbands and pet cats and pet cows and anything I could think of. And all of a sudden I ran that little simple dichotomy — which is the first time I ever ran it, by the way — and kaboom! The symptom's gone.

And if anything happened to the body, he'd say, "Well, that's too bad. I certainly will have to do something else about this now." Well, what he would do about it is his business. Maybe he would get some sort of a symbol, some sort of an identification, of any kind or characteristic and... Or maybe he'd just go down to the maternity ward and pick up another body. But it'd be a big joke on the family, because the baby would get to be about two months old, when it could finally use its vocal cords and it'd say, "You know, I'm awfully tired of this. Why don't you call up that blonde down on High Kensington. She'd make a pretty good nurse." Now, this is far from being in the category of not beyond the realm of fancy. What we're talking about happens to be fact. I mean, this is the kind of a "will have" you can look forward to.

So, not too long later, I run into this preclear and this preclear is one of these can't see, can't hear, what space? what universe? what wall? sort of a normal. And I started running this and that, and this preclear was very anxious to get rid of a bad knee. So we started in on the basis of whose knee was it, and let's get a communication line through it, and he kept saying, "Ah, yeah, what knee?" And, "Oh, the knee. You know, the one you complained about." "Well, what, what... oh, oh, the knee. Yeah. Yeah, all right. All right.

Anyway, what do you possess? Well, your possessions would be limited to your ability to do. And your time is also limited by your ability to do. You know that, oh-oh-oh, how strongly. Your doingness is limited by the amount of time you have. Well, it works the opposite way. Your ability to do makes the amount of time you have. But if you have only a body to do it with, it gets tired, it gets worn out, it has to eat; everybody's got this universe figured out on a scarcity racket.

All right. All right. No. No, I don't like Chaucer." I mean, the case was not very good.

And so, you can't have very much. Well, if you can't have very much, you won't be able to do very much or be very much. Now, if you want to increase these three factors, you have to increase them uniformly up the time. If you want more time, you have to differentiate between these two points: Do you want more time self-determinedly? You want more self-determined time? You can have that.

But I finally pinned the case's attention down on a number of things and ran a number of things and we got a little bit of alleviation, we got a little bit of change of mind about this and that. The person got happier. Then all of a sudden I said, just out of thin air, "Well now, get having to have that knee." "... not having to have the knee." "... having to have... " zig-dig — ptock, ptock, ptock, ptock. No knee pain.

Or let's go at it the other way. Now let's ask the question the other way: Do you want your time to be more determined? Now, if you want time to be more self-determined and to have more self-determinism over your own time, get rid of what you have. Unload it fast! Because what you have determines your time.

I thought, "That's peculiar. In this whole mess, it suddenly occurs to one that having does not quite compare with being. There's something strange and peculiar about having that is different than these other things, that sort of hits a button." Boom! Hits this little button. And you can sometimes produce results with this confounded "having" and "not having" that you don't produce with this enormous battery of terrifically logical this-and-that. I mean, some of this stuff is almost as logical as Germanic logic. And havingness, havingness.

Now, do you just want more time? Do you just want the illusion of lots and lots and lots of time, and there just being lots of time all up and down the track and a time which is imposed on you? The time is imposed thoroughly on you? Well, the way to get that time is acquire possessions — get lots of them, get all sorts of things. Go down to the junk shop, go down to auctions, collect things in your desk, collect things in your pockets, collect things in your purse, fool around — get possessions, possessions. If you just stack up enough possessions, believe me, every bit of time you've got will be determined for you. You just won't have any empty time on your hands at all.

Till I was fooling around the other day — and you won't credit this when you first look at it, you won't credit it at all, but that's time. That actually works out to be time. Fantastic, but true. Time is "have." "Had," "have," "will have" gives you a time track. Now, you stop and you say to a preclear... Hey, by the way, take this little exercise right now.

Now, that shows you there's two sides to this sort of thing.

I'd say: Mock up something. Just mock up anything. Now put it in yesterday. How'd you put it in yesterday?

All right. Let's take energy. Let's take energy. Do you really want energy which you can determine the existence of? Well, all you have to do is to free yourself a little bit from havingness and not be quite so sold on the subject of beingness and you'll have lots of energy with which to do what you like with. And that'll be your energy — your energy. Okay?

All right. Now, put it in present time.

How do you get more energy, though? How would you get more energy, not your energy?

Now put it in tomorrow.

Factually, here, the trick is we're really looking at the Tone Scale. We're looking at the Tone Scale and at the bottom of the thing it says "all MEST" and at the top of the thing it says "theta all by itself, pure, knowing and there, and unidentified by anybody, but very self-complacent." All right. How do you cut down the Tone Scale? How do you go down the Tone Scale on this and get down below where you are determined, and so on?

How'd you get it into tomorrow?

You just borrow energy. Get lots of energy, lots of energy. Have gasoline motors — gasoline motors to move you around with and have electric lights and have fires that keep things nice and warm and get lots of energy, get lots of energy. And then get lots of people to do things for you. Now, the more people you can get that will do things for you — just for you, you see — why, the less energy you have to put out.

Male voice: Moved it along.

Unfortunately, that works immediately to be the less energy you will put out, which means immediately the less energy you will have. So it just goes right on down Tone Scale, real fast, real fast.

Hm.

If you just collect enough... enough doingness directed toward you — oh, boy. You're all set.

Male voice: Pushed it along; pushed it back.

Now, at the same time, your MEST beingness will become better and better and better. You will be Mr. Gotbucks, or almost anything — Milord Moneybags, any great name. Great Rolls-Royce, gold-plated with a gold roof and a couple of beautiful blonde chauffeurs dressed in short pants, something real fancy — probably carrying tommy guns because you have to protect yourself -would be driving you down the street, and you draw up before the most exclusive club in London, which has only one member, and that's you. There'll probably be crowds lined up around, and they'll roll this carpet out so that you can walk over the velvet carpet in, and you sit down.

Sure, you moved it along and moved it back, but let's have it right there.

But you'll notice that everything is being done for you. And I frankly don't think you'll be able to walk after a short space of time.

Right there.

Now, but your beingness from a MEST standpoint will be tremendous. Oh, everybody will say, "Mmmm." But what do you know? From your own standpoint, you practically won't exist. You'll be very unhappy, you'll wonder why you're kind of mopey, and you'll wonder why things aren't running well and why you don't feel well, and things are kind of a worry to you, and you're just upset — just upset; that's all there is to it.

All right. Let's put that item again that you thought up, and it's right there, it's right there. Now let's put it in yesterday.

Now, so your MEST identity and your MEST havingness and your ncaa doingness — the amount of energy you acquire, the amount of beingness which is assigned to you and the amount of havingness — can be an inflow or an outflow. And if it's very heavy and very MESTy it is inflow and you have agreed with the MEST universe. You've agreed with it thoroughly. And that's inflow, and you've got good identity and you've got good possession and there's a lot of energy serves you.

Can't do it? Hm. We were using space for time, and that's quite aberrative, because a guy gets confused about it.

But if you want self-determinism, you have to go up the Tone Scale and you have to start some outflow. And if you really go up the Tone Scale, you have to make your own universe. But if you did that, you would have to be able to make a lightning bolt kerzap across the face of the MEST universe, which would upset people a great deal. So, you see, there's a theoretical point up there that demonstrates condusively that we have an optimum action level at 20.0, and an undesirable importance and beingness below 3.0 which isn't worth having. But according to the MEST universe, it's sure worth having. That's the MEST universe; it's presented you with its all. Yes sir, even a gravestone.

All right. I want you to put here, I want you to put here a little girl with curls, little girl with curls right in the middle of her forehead. Put this little girl with curls there.

All right. Now, what's this beingness, havingness, doingness got to do with processing? Well, let me tell you, a Theta Clear who can't step outside of his body is having a hard time trying to conceive himself as being in any other way. He's having a very rough time with having, because he can't feature that he'd have any body. He has to have a body, and the body is somebody else's or something. He has to have it. He's got to have it. As far as his doingnesses are concerned, he couldn't perform such an action, because it would require energy.

Now, put her right there yesterday.

How do you get him up the Tone Scale? All right. There's positive-andnegatives on each — positive-and-negatives: be — not be; have — not have; do -not have; do — not do — past, present and future. And I will give you a full list of that our next night, and exactly how you apply this to processing.

Oh yes, you can. You got her there right now?

All right. Just remember she was there yesterday.

Male voice: But she wasn't. I just put her there.

Ah. I said, though, put her in yesterday. That's part of the exercise.

All right. Now, just remember she was there yesterday. That's — how could you put her in yesterday unless you did that? All right. Remember she was in yesterday. Can you remember she was in yesterday?

All right. Now, let's put her there tomorrow. Now, that's an easy one.

That'll become on your consecutive track.

Put her there tomorrow, now. Put her there tomorrow.

Now, how do you get her there tomorrow?

Female voice: By not having her today.

I'll tell you, the actual...

Male voice: The whole time she's there.

The actual way you do it... the actual way you do it, is you kind of say to yourself, "Well, I'll walk in tomorrow morning and there she'll be." Now let's go through that again. This will straighten you out on time faster than anything else I know.

Put this little girl here.

Now, put her in yesterday.

How do you get her into yesterday?

You just pretend she was there and you remember it. It's easy.

All right. Now, let's put her in present time. Let's put her right there, now, get her good and solid. She shouldn't use pomade on her hair. Put her right there.

All right. Now, put her in tomorrow. Now, how do you know she's going to be there tomorrow?

All right. Now, blow her up.

Actually, that's the way time works.

& and you will find about 88 and 88 and 8/3rds of your preclears are completely fouled up on how they do thinking with ...
