The subject here today, the third lecture of the afternoon Professional Course, is Standard Operating Procedure, Issue 2.

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.

Now, Standard Operating Procedure, probably to you who have not tried it down the line, Issue 1, is actually much easier to do if done by its own tenets and so forth, than any other technique that has existed in Dianetics or Scientology — much less the field once upon a time, which once existed, of the psychotherapies.

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.

You take an Aesculapian technique. Now, that really required operation. The temple, the Aesculapian cult, operated in Greece; operated somewhere around the — about 300 years, thereabouts, B.C. — and it used convulsive shock, used a drug known as hellebore. And through its patients who were there for psychotherapy — just that, psychotherapy; the Greek actually recognized that something could be wrong with the human mind — and the drug hellebore was used to produce a convulsive shock which in itself was then supposed to expel from the body unwanted demons and was supposed to, by its shock, relieve the psychic tension of the individual.

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 Aesculapian techniques included also narcosynthesis, which is just a new and fancy name for a technique which is much older than the Aesculapian cult.

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

A man was given narcosynthesis. He was given a drug — generally just plain, routine, run-of-the-mill opium — which was exuded as smoke into a chamber into which the patient was placed. The smoke was perfumed. And he would then, of course, in his unconscious state, babble and talk, and from this babble and talk the priests would derive some idea of his character. Or from his past history — if he were a very wealthy psycho case — from his past history the priest would have gleaned, from the household slaves, from his wife and so forth, data sufficient for him to solve the case to the degree that it was possible to solve this case. That was not a very big degree.

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.

And he would then be given assurances and be made to dream that a god had come to see him and that the god had reassured him about his state of being.

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 percentage of cure was 22 percent. Oddly enough, a great deal of data is available to us on Aesculapian therapy. It has also been available very widely through the Western world because the Roman had no psychotherapy beyond a prayer to the god Febris — Febris, the god of fever. And this prayer sufficed to cure anything — schizophrenia, manic-depressive — any one of the various ills and catalepsies which the Roman saw quite easily would seize upon the mind.

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.

The Roman, toward the second century A.D., had, of course, come into a level of identification so that he could barely differentiate between the sane and the insane. And the history of the next several centuries demonstrate to us adequately that the state of the Roman Empire was something on the order of one of our wilder sanitariums. It was terrible.

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.

The Roman saw nothing wrong in the emperor of all Rome and all of her territories cavorting about the streets, making himself publicly ridiculous, electing his horse to a consulship — one of the highest posts in the empire. They saw nothing wrong in that same character being placated by his mother through sexual intercourse. This wild, mad and insane scene comes home to us as not a scene in which anybody really would have thought of psychotherapy as a necessary element. And what do you know, they didn't think of it as a necessary element, so they cured patients with a prayer to the god Febris and the results were about 22 percent.

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.

It's a wonderful thing that the wealthier people still patronized the Aesculapian temples. They would actually go over to Greece; that was the thing to do — something like many, many centuries later it was the thing to do to go to some spa.

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.

And so we came forward and we got demon exorcism as the next most significant change in psychotherapy and its processes. And demon exorcism was practiced on the theory that insanity and illness was occasioned by the inhabiting of the body by a malignant spirit and that this spirit was a minion of the devil and was there for the purpose of robbing the individual of his sanity.

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.

This should be very interesting to you from a standpoint of responsibility. It demonstrates to you — this technique began to flourish about 700 A.D. and it went steadily up and we still find it in practice in 1700 A.D.

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.

It's an interesting thing that that level of responsibility was so poor. You get that as an index of the responsibility of the practitioner and of the patient: that this patient had done nothing, really, that this patient needed to have nothing changed in him, that just by some unhappy mischance a demon had begun to inhabit his body and that was why he was insane. This complete departure from any responsibility on the part of the patient was indicative of the times and actually carries us through the apathy periods which are known as the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages; because those periods for most were apathy — and for the higher level, the crudest of force, misapplied.

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.

That brings us forward to about 1700, at which time we began to practice different and new things. Man had become a little more — come a little higher in tone and he had begun to use clubs and water cures, chains and other mild, soothing instruments upon his patients.

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.

You have today in England an institution known as Bedlam. Bedlam is today one of the most humane and quiet sanitariums in the world, but its name sticks in the popular ken. They still use bedlam as descriptive of confusion. The techniques practiced in Bedlam two and three hundred years ago — maybe not quite that long ago — were essentially those of "If you make insanity uncomfortable enough, he'll get sane." And it was on that theory that man progressed and that was his significant development.

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.

Coming into the Western world, then, we found such things as the Arabian Nights. We find the Arabian Nights appearing in France and being retranslated in England. With the Arabian Nights came such things as the Vedic hymns. This is about the middle of the eighteenth century. The Vedic hymns and other things began to infiltrate the Western world.

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

For the first time your Westerner was aware of the fact that somebody did something about the mind, that there was a mind. Up to that time the Western world considered the mind and body — well, there was a sort of a spirit and it didn't have much to do with the body. It was something you sort of held in pawn, and if you died, why, it went off to heaven or something of the sort, or it went off to hell, and that was about all he thought about it.

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.

As far as the body itself was concerned, the customs of the time, the marital customs and so on, indicate that the human body was considered — and the human being was considered — somewhat on the order of animal husbandry, the raising of poultry, anything like that. Marital customs tell you that particularly. A woman was an owned thing, very thoroughly owned. She was so owned that just about that time she was ceasing to be sold, for instance. Anybody could have sold his wife, for instance. It's very fascinating, the customs of the times. The human being was nothing.

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.

All right. Now, from this sudden, savage, impatient attitude on the part of the treaters or practitioners, we have walking onto the stage from the East, evidently, Anton Mesmer. And one might say that there was the first glance that the Western world took into the depths and mysteries of the mind since the last of the Aesculapian cult died away. That was the first revival. And actually one could say that it came from the East; it was almost East and I think the Aesculapian cult probably infiltrated from Persia — some evidence of this.

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

So it came into the Western world that a human being could be placed in a comatose state and would then utter various things.

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.

Animal magnetism came into the knowledge of man and he began to be very excited because he knew animal magnetism could be true because it said that animal magnetism had taken place in the Bible. And if it had taken place in the Bible, then, of course, it was true. That actually — I'm not joking — that was the level of his critique. Not too bad a level of critique if you haven't any.

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.

Now, the next step was introduced by Charcot in France. And Charcot introduced hypnotism more or less as we know it. The most astonishing — in 1832, the most astonishing variety of experiments were conducted by Charcot and in that period. Fascinating, fascinating. It is so far in advance of and so much more adventurous than 1950 hypnotism. They knew so much more about it through their experiments that one is left a little bit agape at how in the nineteenth [twentieth] century so much technology could have disappeared from the general ken of the hypnotist.

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?

Now, we have Charcot bringing forward and wondering about many of the data which only today in Scientology can we explain. What on earth were these patients doing? Because other hypnotists in the following century could not create the same condition of this same perception — they abandoned it. Yet in the year 1898, we find in a textbook on hypnotism some of these things mentioned again. We find that they were still able to differentiate between mesmerism and hypnotism.

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

You as a practitioner should know the difference between mesmerism and hypnotism. It's very significant. Actually, it wouldn't do you any harm to know a great deal about hypnotism because hypnotism is the primary control tool that's been used for the last 76 trillion years. Everything is more or less hypnotism. What you're trying to do to a human being is unhypnotize him. Certain things have been implanted in him which are contrary to his best interests and he obeys them. This, you might say, is hypnotism — not necessarily contrary to his best interests, but any implant is contrary to one's best interests because it cuts down analytical awareness.

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.

All right. We look back then across the past and we find these techniques which I have outlined to you, and we find that it was only in 1894 when man once more began to walk upward toward the Aesculapian techniques — he only then started to.

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.

In 1942 we find man again employing narcosynthesis. A little earlier than that he began to employ convulsive shock once more, and he modified it. You see, to this day, one of the primary treatments of insanity is such a drug as Metrazol — it produces a convulsion actually in its essence — or insulin, which produces a coma.

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.

Now, you could take an electric shock machine and produce a convulsion. And this, you will find in the early writers on electric shock, is the reason why electric shock is being employed. It produced a convulsion.

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.

We find Reich, Wilhelm Reich; he is a fellow and he (he lives someplace or other) — this character says, "Now I have the essence of the essence of the essence." And this is what they do in his clinic. I don't care what it says in any book he ever wrote — if he could write. This is what they do in his clinic: they simply train a patient to go into a convulsive state. They give him something that is more violent than an epileptiform seizure by training, and of course the patient can't do this — he can't stop doing this most of the time after he leaves his treatment. It's an effort to give a convulsive shock without the introduction of electricity and drugs, which are themselves harmful; but we still have the central idea: convulsive shock. There is no other theory back of convulsive shock than that.

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.

I have seen speculations on it which run clear back from the times before Christ. If you can make a man shudder and shake enough, something happens. That's about it.

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.

Now, you can produce with any auditing technique — you can produce, if you just sit down to do just that — an epileptiform seizure, a convulsive shock, anything you want to produce. You can make this body do anything. But don't for a moment suppose — don't for a moment suppose that the treatment of mental illness and the betterment of mankind in his abilities has been other than an extremely dark and arduous track, extremely so.

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.

The day when you confront an insane person and have to use your head and look at that insane person with a sufficient dispassion to treat and remove that insanity, you will understand in that moment why that track remained dark. Unless an individual has a technique by which he himself can regain his sanity, he has no business touching the insane. In the absence of techniques, or in the presence of techniques such as convulsive shock, it would have been far, far better for the human race just to have taken the insane and dumped them into the Hellespont.

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.

Because the toll the insane takes of the practitioner is fantastic. You stand up against insanity day after day after day after day and you don't want to think about the insane. All you want to think is, "How can we get through to whatever is there hard enough to throw it into apathy." You'll find, because of the violence of behavior on the part of many of the insane, or the complete despair in which they exist, that your initial impulse will be to run away and leave it alone and have nothing to do with it. And your second impulse, if you start to treat it, is not to be rational at all, because aberration is contagious and insanity is contagious.

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

And the next instant after you start to practicing, you will probably find within yourself a small urge to just take the fellow and throttle him! Anything, just get him quiet, get him out of the road, stop that insane babble or chatter. Or if they just lie there in a catatonic state, you'll find yourself at first shaking them a little bit, and then all of a sudden you begin to wonder if you shoved a spike in them if it might not move them.

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.

Just because insanity is a desperate situation, however, is no reason it calls for desperate measures. Man, in identifying in his thought, has, of course, assumed that was the case. Insanity is a desperate condition, therefore it requires a desperate measure. This is quite far from the truth. Insanity is such a desperate condition that it will surrender only to a featherweight. The tiniest, lightest technique you know is the only technique that will work on most of the insane.

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.

The insane person is saying to you, "Don't kill me, because I am already beyond responsibility." And he says it in a myriad of ways, and he says it very convincingly. The only way a thetan back on the track could die was to say, "I am no longer responsible, leave me alone," because a thetan can't die. Now, that is a pitiful fact.

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.

A thetan, actually, in many cases would — feels he would be much better off to have a body which could die. And we're living on a tacit consent today: "When the body is dead, I'm gone." And you can make a body look so dead. And once the truck has gone over or the firing squad has fired or something of the sort, or the rack ceases to clack-clack, why, there's the body. It's dead. It's observably dead. There's physical evidence that it's dead: the heart is no longer beating, the respiration no longer occurs and the body gets cool. What a relief that was.

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.

Death is an invention. It is a last-ditch invention, and the only other remedy — the only other way to stop alien, hostile and predatory forces — if one cannot die is to say, "I'm insane." Thus you find insanity as a solution and the man has attained the solution. He is saying, "I can't die, but I am mad and therefore I'm not responsible so there's no reason to keep on punishing me."

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.

This person has really been punished. But it comes from way back on the track. Don't look for insanity in this lifetime. It's nonsense. It's not in this lifetime. It's thousands, millions, billions, trillions of years ago that you'll find the E-Meter sparking on insanity.

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

Insanity says, "I have lost all my. control." And here we're getting into this — you probably think I am taking a long way around, but I'm not. Insanity is Step VII of Standard Operating Procedure, Issue 1, and insanity is protesting against having no control of any part of the physical universe. The insane is insane. He knows he's insane because he is no longer able to locate in space and time any energy or matter. He is simply triggered in this lifetime; he is not driven insane in this lifetime.

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.

Don't think that the experience of a Japanese prison camp, don't think that Stuka dive bombers or incendiary bombs or seeing the rest of one's company go up in smoke — kapoof — is enough to drive a person insane. That's too mild entirely. And if you think that that — it should drive a person insane, then go out and take a look at the people who've been through it and you will find an astonishing lack of insanity! It's all very well to theorize that it's stress that does it. Oh, no, it isn't stress that does it. It's lack of control that does it. Lack of control, not stress. So don't look for stress, look for where control was denied and look where one had no answer left, except: "I'm no longer responsible, don't torture me further."

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.

You see, you can torture a thetan, you can keep hitting him with electric blasts, you can keep spinning him around or dancing him up and down and doing other things to him or taking the wavelength of pain, if you please, and just playing it over him constantly; not for a year, but maybe five years or ten years or eighteen thousand years, nothing but pain. Fascinating, isn't it?

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.

After a while, the fellow is going to start looking for somebody to say, "Look, there's no reason to keep on doing this to me because I won't ever handle anything in the physical universe again. I won't ever initiate anything, I'll just quit. I won't get — have any force. I'll just give up; I have no reason to go on and I'm insane." Because, you see, the poor fellow can't die.

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.

Insanity, then, is deeper than death. It's much deeper than death and is so regarded by the insane, as a much more heroic remedy. But they are driven away from dying by a fear of dying, into an insanity from a fear of living. And there you have his maybe: He's afraid to die and he can't live. And there you get the solution to the maybe and that's — he's mad.

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

And the reason he knows he can't live and the reason he knows all these other things is a very simple reason, is he can't locate anything in space and time. So therefore he knows he's insane. He knows the time has come for him to, colloquially speaking, "spin off" or "flip his lid." And when will that time be? Well, nobody can tell if a fellow has that on his bank.

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

Throughout most of his lifetime this individual is very easy. Oh, you can spot a person that's going to go insane. Don't ever think about it with regard to yourself particularly, don't ever be queasy about it. If you're not crazy now, you probably never will be.

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.

But you can tell a person who is going to go insane. You can know this. You can know this. How do you know this? It's by his inability to handle space and time. It's a direct test, and the person who is going to go insane . . . This society has such a low tolerance level — I mean, pardon me, a high tolerance level — for insanity, that a person can bumble around and run into things and all sorts of things, and people still don't recognize what he is: He's a borderline case. He'll do such things as he can't quite remember where yesterday was. And he'll mimic insane things, and he'll do various things. But this is a continual practice.

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.

And this is the primary part of it. The old saw about the fellow being insane being the one who never knows it is too true, is too true. Because if a person knows he's insane, he's as sane as they come. Insanity in its essence is knowing one is sane, because insanity is rational conduct to the insane. It's a rational solution. Irresponsibility is a rational solution.

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.

And sure enough, you look at a lot of these insane people, you'll find out it's a very rational solution. I know one of them, he hasn't done anything, not a tap of work — he hasn't reported to a desk, he hasn't had to answer a telephone in earnest or anything else for two years. He's an electric shock case, and so forth. But he has not had to be placed in time and space for two years. What's his solution? He's insane. It's very remarkable, he goes around saying, "The 'enthetans' are about to get me."

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.

But a Theta Clear can feel the blast coming off of him. The glee of insanity. Insanity and irresponsibility is a sort of a glee. A Theta Clear sort of — he just can see the stuff on himself; he just peels it off. It's a horrible kind of a glee.

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.

All right. What, then, is the predominant characteristic of the insane? One, he doesn't know it and he isn't going to do anything about it. That's characteristic one. If he knows it and he's going to do something about it, he's neurotic. He still has responsibility, don't you understand? He has responsibility for his own state of beingness. But if he has no responsibility for his own state of beingness and just merely assures you that that's all he can do about it and that's him, and life is just that way and so forth, he's nuts! You see?

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.

The very fact that he will take enough responsibility for himself to say, "Somebody has got to help me out," — see, he says to himself, "I've got to be responsible for myself." He's not insane, because that's outside the definition of insanity which is, of course, no responsibility. And no responsibility is pretty bad. So when you get complete no responsibility you actually have insanity.

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?

Now, there are insanities where people will go out and dance in the streets — mass insanities. They'll dance in the streets in the face of some great cataclysm. All of a sudden they recognize they can't do anything about this and so they throw masked balls and go running around in the streets and dancing, and throwing garlands of flowers over everybody's head until they all keel over dead. This was particularly popular in the days of the plague. It never occurred to any one of those nitwits that all he had to do was go around and sit down for a couple of minutes and think. Now, all he had to do was just say, "Let's see, plague. Whenever we have plague what factor changes? What factor has changed preceding the plague? What is the changed factor? There must be one factor common to every plague." That's all he had to say to himself. Any one of these dopes could have solved plague ages before Ronald Ross started nailing down this sort of thing. It was very simple.

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

There were always rats in plenty, and just before a plague struck you found the rats dead in the streets. They'd come out in broad daylight — rats would.

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.

I mean, it wasn't one of these little signs that you'd look for with a microscope. It was great big wharf rats running all over the city and through the grocery shelves and past people's heads, and The Pied Piper of Hamelin just about describes the hordes of rats that immediately would precede the plague; and then you'd see them dead all over the place. You'd see them dead on your breakfast tray. You'd see them dead in the market. You'd see them dead everywhere, feet up in the air. If you'd taken any one of those rats, you simply would have looked and he would have been lousy in the very proper usage of the term, lousy. And it was the bug that was doing it. And they — it's fascinating, but they never added this up. That's how insane the period was!

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.

So, the terrible irresponsibility of this resulted in joy. But this isn't telling you that the manifestation of joy is always irresponsibility. Joy also stems from an ability to command: the entire opposite end. Joy does not only continue from — and actually doesn't continue from at all — irresponsibility. Joy that is — derives from that is very nervous and very hectic. You think the little child who is just getting out of school for his vacation is truly joyful. He isn't. Such a terrible weight of responsibility has been lifted off of him that he gets hectic and if you watch him very carefully, he's very hectic. And it's that sort of a hectic, spinny kind of a joy that is — that is first cousin to insanity.

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.

Actual pleasure and so forth comes from the ability to locate things in time and space, and if you locate things in time and space accurately and well — hm-hm, there's real happiness.

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?

All right. Now, let's take a look then at this number VII, the bottom — running this thing backwards — this number VII. This is running backwards on the theory of "How bad can they get?" And then when I get up to your case it'll look so easy that before I leave you this afternoon you'll say, "Well, gee, I'll just be cleared — boom!"

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.

Now, how do you treat this VII? How do you treat him? Well, there are several ways of treating him. But you better think — instead of treating the VII, you better think in terms of the third dynamic with regard to insanity. It sounds very inhuman where I'm concerned, perhaps, and I don't know any reason why I should sound human. I'm telling you very practically, with great practicality, that the problem of insanity is a third dynamic problem, not a first dynamic problem, because this fellow has abandoned himself utterly and completely. And by the time you have fished around into the very thorough job that's been done on him in keying it in in this lifetime and in early lifetimes, after you've fished around and fished around and fished around, you'll have a miracle to bring him up to a level of a terribly bad neurotic.

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.

Because you're sort of doing this: You're taking something that insists it can't be there. Actually, it is easier — and get this — this might sound very wild to you, but it's actually easier for you to create a being. Because you've not only got to bring this person back to life again, you've got to find him first. He's sitting right in front of you there, but you've got to find him first. That's quite a contest because his total goal is "get lost."

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.

He's lost someplace in time, he's generally as lost someplace in space, and even though he is apparently quite rational for hours at a stretch or days at a stretch or months at a stretch, he's just doing that because at the moment he sees no reason to be lost again. And he'll fool you, because that is the essence, that's what he's trying to do. He's playing a game with you, "I'm not there, I'm not here, I'm not anywhere. I won't be anywhere." Past, present and future: "I don't have anything, you can't take anything away from me. It's all right, go ahead and kill me — anything. And here I am, and so on, and I'll just prove to you how I am not here. I'll just show you that I couldn't even be responsible for my own life because here!" And he'll pick up a gun that he has hidden someplace and take a shot at you.

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.

And you'll say, "Well, why did he do that? I'm just here to help." Well, he's just proving to you that he can dare anything; he's gone. That he isn't there. He can't be responsible for you or for anything else.

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.

Third dynamic problem, not a first dynamic problem. And what is the answer, the real answer to insanity? Quarantine — quarantine. Because, you see, it isn't practical to process an insane person in this lifetime. There are too many able people whose services are desperately needed by man. It just isn't practical. And you'll find any one of these insane people has done a contagion of insanity to considerable depth in his immediate environment.

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.

His family will just be frantic — or her family, just be frantic. Every economic tie has been seized up to a point where it can have no further notch in it. Every single social and human attribute of the family is being damaged something on the order of how a nerve would be damaged if you started to saw on it with a wood rasp. When you look at the insane, look at the group in which that person is; look at the group. This insane person is backed off to a point where he doesn't even contact anymore usually. He really isn't in contact at all. Look at that group.

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.

And somebody asks you for an opinion on this, something of the sort, you actually don't have any right to give any opinion on this. Nobody has any right to give any opinion on this. I don't have any right to stand here and tell you this opinion, but I'm just telling you from a standpoint of a practical thing, when somebody asks you, "What am I going to do? This and that has happened," sure, take a passing glance at the case. Just take a passing glance, because every once in a while it has triggered at a specific moment, and it's a quick salvage, once in a while. You're actually dealing, though, when that happens, only with a neurotic.

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

You take somebody who has just had a baby and they're off their rockers. They won't take care of the child and they want to murder the husband, something like that — run out the delivery. If you can get their attention, run out the delivery, they very often snap right back.

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.

That person will be inaccessible, but that person won't present the same manifestation that I'm talking about. They're not really insane, they're just completely unbalanced by their environment. So you see, we're on a gradient scale here. We're not talking about sharp differences; there are things classified as — and which you would classify at a glance as — insane, which could be patched up quickly.

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.

But the fellow that's been insane for just years and years and years and he's done this and he's done that and they've had him here and they've had him there and they've wah-wah-wah-rah-rah-rah — quarantine him. And process the group in which he was.

We find everywhere we look that absolutes are really unobtainable.

And when he dies, very possibly the between-lives area will rip off enough facsimiles, and he might get into the environment the next time and be all right and sort of key out. It will take care of itself in the next 50 or 60 years.

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.

The roughest thing I know for an auditor is the insane. And you can work on them, you can work on them, you can work on them, every trick, every trick you know, and they're just there to do one thing: to convince you they're not responsible. And they'll take everything you throw at them to convince you they're not responsible. And you at length will practically go by the boards. You're needed for better things. You can do it, don't doubt that for a moment. You actually can do the job. You could stay in there and slug maybe for thirty hours, maybe slug fifty hours, it's quite unpredictable — 200 hours.

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.

But let me ask you this on VII cases. Please, please remember that if you were to save all the insane in the world today and make them all right as rain, the only thing you would have done was prevent the contagion of aberration of chronic insanity in the society. That's all you would have done. But to have accomplished that, you would have to do the job of making sane all the insane in a period of a few months around the whole world — because if you picked up one at a time, one at a time, one at a time, they're going crazier faster than that, you see? You just haven't got enough time; we don't have enough auditors and we never will have. This universe just won't have enough auditors ever to be able to take this job in that fashion. No, the job comes in another way — see, it will be answered in another way. There is an answer up the time track to this, but it just doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with auditing.

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.

It is a big problem, it's a mass problem, it's a special project, and if you went to all the work of doing all of that and you cleaned up all the insanity, you would have bettered mankind — well, the same gradient scale is about one degree on a Fahrenheit thermometer. You wouldn't have done a thing, actually. You wouldn't have done anything.

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

It's not a good goal. You will not have practiced, then, an optimum solution. And the essence of definition of an optimum solution is the greatest good on all the number of dynamics. And it so happens that the treatment of three by auditing up a flock of ones is not the greatest good on all the dynamics by a long ways, because your solution as the greatest good on the greatest number of dynamics asks you to invest your time in producing the greatest good on the greatest number of dynamics. And you are an essential part of that equation in this society and world today. You are the most vital factor today in that equation.

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.

There's another very unvital factor — it's a good dead factor. It's actually a lack of responsibility on which any thinking being could spit. That's an A-bomb — now it's an H-bomb: "Now we can kill them all a lot faster!" That's irresponsibility, international irresponsibility for the fourth dynamic.

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.

You actually could produce enough miracles . . . You're not accustomed to thinking in terms of superlatives, of hyperbole, because in the past you haven't had that comparative viewpoint, and your own resistance to change sort of tells you it possibly couldn't happen.

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

Oh, yes, it could happen! The greatest empire on the face of the earth went by the boards — the greatest empire Earth had known went by the boards — because of the miracles produced by thirteen men. Now remember that. And, boy, it caved in quick. But it caved in because it was a vile and vicious empire and all it took was an injection of hope into the multitude. That's all it took. "Something can happen for us. We are not pinned here forever. We don't have to be in apathy."

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.

And you know what they learned? They learned a very interesting fact and that interesting datum was this. They knew this inherently, and they learned this, then, by religious teaching: "We can't die. We don't die; there is life after death." That's what they learned.

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 therefore, you could fly in the teeth of any unreasonable force because you couldn't be punished simply by having your body cut up to pieces. Now, we've gone on the opposite side of insanity. They had a body that could die so they were spared the other, and they learned all of a sudden that the machine guns of a large and vicious state — it wasn't machine guns in those days, they did it with arenas and crucifixes — were powerless, because all they could do was kill them. That's all that could happen to them. They could just be killed.

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, boy, that state which had reduced into slavery almost two thirds of its population — two thirds of its population was living in kennels the like of which you wouldn't keep a London pet in — and they just suddenly said, "You're through, boys," and the Roman Empire was through.

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, I'm not saying at any moment that there's any great empire to be overthrown. At the present time, there isn't. We haven't got an empire in this world today. We just don't have one. There is an anarchy of nations. The family of nations on Earth today live in anarchy, and they go to war because the people are afraid. You can make a populace afraid so long as the populace believes it can die. And you can make it so afraid of dying that they will enter into the enterprise of killing and dying to just throw in the sponge finally and say, "Well, that's all." That's a fantastic thing, but if you took some of the pressure off, just took some of the pressure off internationally, it would be very, very difficult for anybody to get people hot enough so that we would have another war.

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.

If just the people in this room did their job well and spotted their target where the target should be — and you don't have to go out and stand on soapboxes or anything else. All you have to do is apply some techniques, that's all, and they're easy techniques to apply. And all of a sudden a bunch of "can't" cases suddenly "can." And people say, "Hey, what's happening!" You don't have to have it in the newspapers; the devil with the newspapers. The only publicity there is that's worth anything is just word of mouth. It's Uncle Joe getting helped and Aunt Agatha hearing about it. And it looks slow at first and it creeps at first, but then it goes a little faster and a little faster and a little faster, and with Theta Clearing, they know — nobody has to tell them again — they know they can't be killed. Now, that's fascinating, isn't it?

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.

You actually can carry a message to the people of the world to the effect that man is immortal, and that takes all the international pressure off — just that little fact all by itself.

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.

And let's take a much more important project than insanity — infinitely more important than insanity. Let's take one, just one: criminals, criminals.

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.

Supposing all the time in the past the psychotherapists have been putting in on insane people, they put in on criminals. The criminal is kind of bad off, but he's a criminal because he's in revolt against the society and because he is degraded. And he's easy to patch up. And the best way to patch up the criminal is to get the young criminal; and the young criminal is so easy to process, you'd be ashamed of yourself for ever thinking for two seconds that you couldn't handle these techniques.

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.

You get ahold of some young juvenile delinquent and you say, "Just be ayard back of your head." Bang! You say, "All right, change the postulate abouthow you have to get even with everybody." Bang! "Okay, step back inside. That'sfine, Johnny. Next." You'd be ashamed of yourself. If you were to learn how easyit was to process out of existence the criminal, and you had spent a thousandhours of auditing time curing up somebody's aunt who believes that the goblinsare going to get her, and curing up Mr. Blow, the notorious alcoholic just becausehis family had money, you'd have a feeling of shame and a bad time investment.All of a sudden you walk into this big problem, which is a big problem inthe world today. You know why nations go mad? They go mad because of police.

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.

And why do you have to have police? Because you have criminals. And why do they go mad because of police? Because the police exist as the interconnecting link between the honest, forthright and constructive citizen and the criminal element of the society. They carry plague.

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.

You take a police sergeant who has had to be in the midst of criminals for four or five or six months and you turn him loose amongst a bunch of good citizens, and he takes days and days to reorient. He has a terrible time reorienting. Awful! Gosh! It's a very amusing thing. They've found in most police forces now that you have to take people off the criminal division and put them in the traffic division regularly every three or six months. And what do they do the first few days that they are in the traffic division? "Pull over to the curb! Where do you think you're going? A fire? Well, here's a ticket. We're going to show you!" A few weeks later the fellow said, "What's the matter, you in an awful hurry? Well, that's all right, only just don't take it so fast, don't take it so fast — other people on the road, too. Okay, next. Let's go." Fantastic.

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.

If you don't think the criminal actually is an aberrated area! But the only reason it's terrifically aberrated, and terrifically aberrative, is because the police are applying force to it. Oh, you'd be amazed at how much force the police force exerts against the criminal. And when that much violence and when that much lawlessness can exist in a society, that society can be oppressed down the Tone Scale. The best man in it eventually is no longer free. And war results when freedom goes.

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

And if there are no criminals, there are no dictators. There's no Schutzstaffel. There's no German youth who are going to march! There's no Spanish revolution. They just don't happen when there's no criminal element, because these things start in the high cause of glory, glory, glory and boom, boom, boom so that we can rob a few more houses, so we can bust open the fronts of a few more Jewish stores and get a few more souvenirs to slip to the Fräulein, or the "Fräulein." That's how those things get started — as a chance for loot, loot, loot! And they think that's wonderful, so they flock to the banner of any criminal who will stand up and say, "Mein Kampf." Mein bedpan! He doesn't have any "Kampf." All he has is a chronic and terrific inability to resolve problems because he can't perceive what the problem is. No nation can do without a good leader, and no nation can afford a warlike one.

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.

And so it fits right into Standard Operating Procedure. It says right up the Tone Scale, clear up to the top, who do you treat, what do you invest your time in? It says the criminal has much more bearing upon the world today than the problem of the insane. It says the criminal is easier to process than the insane and it says that you are doing something on the third dynamic which makes it an optimum solution. And if you don't think the ranks of the criminals are wide open to you, you're mad. The criminal forms a state within a state. Call up a couple of societies and say, "Twice a week, I will take some person who has recently been released from prison and needs rehabilitation." Oh, just that. That's a crude way to go about it because you're taking people who have already been in the big house and they're out again, and that's pretty bad. So if you were to just call up a society and say — and then they say, "Well, who are you?"

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.

You say, "I'm a psychotherapist."

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.

"Oh, is that so?" "Yeah."

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.

"All right." These societies don't care. They're so burdened down with the problem, they're in complete apathy about the problem.

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.

I walked into a medical center once and I said, "I'll take all your charity patients."

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.

And they said, "What? Who are you?"

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

I said, "A psychotherapist."

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.

Went over, they said, "Well, they go through a psychiatrist whose name is so-and-so."

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.

I went over to see the psychiatrist. I found him in mesmeric rapport with anyone. I suddenly discovered this. I picked up a cigarette, he picked up a cigarette. I crossed my legs, he crossed his legs. I said, oh boy, this condition I have seen in the Malay states. So I began to cross my legs the other way, and put out my cigarettes in other ways, and smoke cigarettes and went into irrational actions, small ones; and I said, "You don't mind, then, if I treat all of the charity patients who are in this entire city?"

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.

And he said, "No, I don't mind if you treat all charity patients in this entire city."

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.

So, I said, "That's fine, you'll tell them so, when the telephone rings?"

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.

And he said, "Of course, yes." And I left. Poor guy. He'd been trying to handle the problem of the insane for about twenty years, and they really had him. It doesn't say you have to hypnotize a psychiatrist. I do that every once in a while just for fun.

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

I hypnotized the entire staff one time, of one of the biggest sanitariums in the United States, talking to them. Wonderful. If you only knew what you could do. If you only knew. These people were pretty bad off.

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.

I'll tell you how you do that. There's just a specific way you go about it. You just make them imitate your gestures. And you talk in a certain tone of voice and your voice becomes more and more soothing. The first thing you know, you watch their eyes and through the audience you see the eyes start to going like this. So you just talk more soothingly and you start to sort of swing. Make sure that you have a bright tie pin. You just sort of swing back and forth, evenly. You'll notice all of a sudden shoulders are starting to move through the audience. You've got them. Then you say, "Now, in the future you will believe that Dianetics is a wonderful thing and should not be opposed. Thank you very much." (laugh) It's simpler than trying to reach reason. (audience laughter) That's just amusement; that's just amusement only. All right.

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.

Now, your problem as a therapist, then, has a practical aspect against all the dynamics. And your success as a therapist — or your success as a Scientologist, not just a therapist — will take place to the degree that you apply your knowledge in an optimum solution. And an optimum solution would be for the greatest good of the greatest number of dynamics. Observably, this would then result in having number one for you in good shape, and no good solution can exist without number one being in good shape. It's the best solution for three, it's the best solution for four — it's an optimum solution.

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.

So when you're dealing with the lower ranges of Standard Procedure, when you're dealing with those lower ranges, you're dealing in every case that you treat with this equation of the optimum solution. And about as far south as you want to bother is V.

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.

What do you do with a VI? Talked about a VII. The technique for a VII, by the way, just sandwich it in and just throw it in, you know it, it says there in the bulletin: You just get him to locate things in time and space. That's all. Locate him in present time. Get him to locate himself in present time. Locate his foot or the foot of the bed or you or just let him take one of his delusions and put it on the other side of the room. It's wonderful; it'll work. Just make him place delusions around here and there, and that's the way you do VII.

That's horrible, isn't it?

A VI — ARC Straightwire is what it says on Standard Operating Procedure, Issue 1. Well, that is not what you do with a VII — with a VI, rather. You do a near equivalent to it, but you do the lightest level of Creative Processing, which I will take up later. You do the lightest level of Creative Processing with a VI.

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.

Now, what do you do with a V? The VI, by the way, is somebody who can't remember — the test for a VI is he can't remember something real, easily. Things that he remembers aren't real to him. All right, now — and by the way, that's still a wonderful way to solve a VI. Don't think I'm changing that. ARC Straightwire: "Remember something real," "Remember a time you were really in communication," and so forth, because he'll snap up above the line of VI very quickly on that technique; but there is an even faster technique. I don't like these twenty-minute techniques when it can be done in five minutes.

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.

Now, you take a V, you take a V. The second we labeled a level on Standard Operating Procedure, the second we labeled a V a V, we, of course, had to have a lot of people who immediately became Vs, and hold grimly and deathly onto the category V in spite of anything you can do — just because it's a category, just because it's there. It has to be there . . . (audience laughter)

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.

What's the matter?

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...

Male voice: It never hit me.

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.

Never hit you. Well, that's true. They label themselves and that makes a postulate. The auditor labels them and they say, "Yes, I'm a V, I can't immediately get out of my head," so they make a postulate that says, "I can't get out of my head." The first thing you pick up with a V is a postulate that he can't get out of his head.

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.

Very often, very amusingly, the V isn't even in his head. You get him to scan up the time track and you'll find out for the last dozen years he's been — they've been very careful to always sit in the corner of a room as far from the body as possible.

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?

Another thing you'll find out about a V is he thinks he's supposed to be a spot of energy, or something of this sort, and he happens to be the kind of a case that moves out whole cloth. He thinks of himself as a whole body and he moves out of the body as a whole body. There are various things happen here.

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.

The very least that's wrong with a V is that he is stuck in some body which is no longer alive.

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

All right. After you've found out that he's a V and he can't get out rapidly, and after you've used Creative Processing for a while, for God's sakes, remember to do this — remember to do this: Get him to sweep out all of his processing and all the times when he's discovered he couldn't get out.

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

Now, if you just go over that, the fellow goes into a terrific state of relief because every time he tried to go out of the head, or every time he tried to back out, or every time he tried to locate himself anyplace, and so on, and realized that he couldn't, he hit a failure. And these are pretty heavy failures. And so you just pick these things up as a matter of course and he brightens up markedly.

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

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, 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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

& 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

All right. Now, put it in present time.

Now put it in tomorrow.

How'd you get it into tomorrow?

Male voice: Moved it along.

Hm.

Male voice: Pushed it along; pushed it back.

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

Right there.

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.

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

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.

Now, put her right there yesterday.

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 ...
