And yesterday a Mr. Davis who has written over here several times wondering whether or not he couldn't be processed - paying preclear, by the way, I mean, he's perfectly willing to pay and all that sort of thing but he came in; he's an art - painter of some sort or another - designer. The girl in the office got him - got him mixed up with a - with a fellow coming up with wallpaper.

This afternoon we're going to take up something on the order of Acceptance Level Processing. I said I would take some of this up earlier and actually, one way or another, have been taking it up because it all comes down to "have" and "not-have" when we finish up with the integration.

I haven't seen this report - or heard from them - it says, "October 27th. Processed by me for one hour; reaction time is very slow." That is a masterpiece of understatement. His reaction time was "slow"; it was detectable.

If you have anchor points, you have space; but you're not likely to have much space unless you have some anchor points; but it is a scarcity of space; but it still comes into a havingness as far as space is concerned. And you get this entire problem interwound within itself.

"From one minute for Straightwire..." - one minute for Straightwire?

Actually, the instantaneous fact - if you can imagine an instantaneous fact - the instantaneous fact is space, anchor points, nothingness and somethingness combined. And that instantaneous fact, added to it the ingredient called theta, and you've got life and its performance.

Male voice: From one minute - one minute longer.

The ingredient called theta is seldom visible to the common public. The main reason it's not visible to the common public is they don't look. Now, it may or may not be true that theta is nothing and MEST is something. This was the theory which brought us into the techniques which we are now using. A theory is as good as it will take you, and the theta-MEST theory is still taking us places.

Yeah. Oh - longer? One minute longer Oh!

That theory is simply that - that theta is a static in terms of this universe, which means that it has no wavelength, no dimension, so forth.

"... He exteriorized readily, and was only then able to get him on the meter satisfactorily. Assessment taken and Creative Processing done so that he could handle Mother and God. He held corners, and so forth, and reaction time improved by over 1000 percent." You see any marked change in his handling of the mock-up, as we call the body?

Oddly enough, after I'd defined this, I suddenly recalled the definitions for zero. And what do you know, mathematics had never defined zero and we had mathematicians dealing with a wild variable continually. Was it a past, present or future zero? Was it a zero of geographical location? Was it a zero - a zero of something? So if we had a zero of something we were postulating continually a mathematical absolute, and it was just about as usable as it has turned out to be true. In other words, the mathematical zero is not true. Therefore, you can expect theta, as a theoretical zero, to suddenly develop at any time - a somethingness.

Male voice: Yes.

And the more you start unveiling a case, and the more you start picking up the lines and getting him back to look where he all of a sudden says quite happily, "Well, there's nothing there," if it's close to the end of a session, you just leave it at that. But if there's really nothing there, you'd keep mocking up "nothing there" and fooling with this thing and going around and walking around and looking at it and forgetting about it and coming back to it again and so forth.

Marked change?

Because any time anybody traced a communication line which wound up in nothing, he has hit something which hasn't enough body for him to perceive at the moment you're processing him. You've simply exceeded his ability to shift wavelength, and that is all. And when you have exceeded his ability to shift wavelength, you have simply and plainly and flatly come up against a "No, I won't look." That's about all there is to processing is find the nothingnesses and get something there, take the somethingnesses and get nothing there and everything reduces back and next thing you know, why, you have things pretty well straightened out.

Male voice: Oh, a marked change.

So you have an instantaneous fact in operation all through cases. And cases are prone to shift and change on you from session to session.

Alert?

A great many sessions of very short duration is superior to a few sessions of very long duration. A pc has a tendency after a half an hour or an hour to fog up a little bit, one way or the other, in the hands of most auditors. Let's qualify it. If the auditor is on the ball, the pc never gets a chance to. The auditor conceives that there are nothingnesses around which ought to have somethingnesses in them and immediately begins to build back the missing items in the case. So we're up against the problem of restoration of havingness, aren't we?

Male voice: Very much alert.

You might think that processing consists mainly of reducing everything to nothing. A V is doing that. But this is not true. Actually, processing consists of restoring havingness. We run somebody up to the other end, we say, "Take a look at your body now. Do you see a communication line? All right. Where does it go? Well, just run up on the line and see where it is. What do you got there? Well, that's very interesting. That's fine. Duplicate it, duplicate it, duplicate it, duplicate it, blow it up. All right. Now, duplicate it a couple more times and blow it up. Yank the line and throw it away. Okay. Got another line? All right, trace that up." Follow-follow-follow-follow...

Uh-huh. Did he get up like he knew he was going to get up? Or did he get up like he was... When he first came in, he got up and then found out that he had stood up.

"Well, what do you know, there's nothing here! Uh-oh! Oh-oh!" You get the handling of lines? "Nothing there."

Male voice: Well, he went like he knew he'd been here.

"All right, put nothing there. Put nothing there."

Good. Good. That's fine. This boy is a caved-in artist, a caved-in painter And - that's just real fine.

There's a lot of ways to handle this, by the way, just tons of ways. The more surprising ways you think of to handle it, the faster your preclear will work, too, because he gets (quote) onto your tricks after a while (unquote) and realizes that you are (quote) forcing him to look (unquote). And he'll play along with you. And you may be processing somebody for several minutes before you suddenly realize that, gee, he's doing a royal dodge on you. He just isn't looking. And he's bouncing all around and skittering all around something and trying to find something that is sufficiently consequential to attract the auditor's attention - sufficiently consequential to attract the auditor's attention - and not sufficiently consequential to suddenly blow him into the middle of next week. See, it becomes a contest, then, of the auditor persuading the preclear to look and the preclear's contest persuading the auditor not to let him look. And this, downscale, is why cases have a rough time of it sometimes - the restoration of havingness. Therefore, Acceptance Level Processing should be something that you understand very, very well.

Male voice: The exteriorization - I kept him on quite some time on that back in June and it proved to be a valuable exercise for him, and he just came up prettily.

A lot of your people out in the field, now, they've heard of Acceptance Level Processing. They're going to get, pretty soon, three PABs - I think PAB 13, 14 and 15 are Acceptance Level Processing. PAB 12 is explosions. It doesn't give them all the dope on explosions but it'll make them happy for a while. It gives them all anybody would care to handle at the moment. But 13, 14 and 15 are devoted to the character and so forth of man and Acceptance Level Processing.

What was the valuable exercise?

Now, you understand that Acceptance Level Processing is a tool to develop understanding, primarily, and secondarily, a tool for auditing. You get that? That's SOP 8-L. Acceptance Level Processing shifts in and Expanded GTTA goes out. SOP 8-L: What is the acceptance level of the pc? We determine this by the fact that he has vacuums sitting all around that will soak up one kind of item - there's a hunger. What you can say about the pc is that he's hungry. What you can say about any pc is that he's hungry. But you as an auditor have to find out "for what." He's hungry for the damnedest things.

Male voice: Exterionzation from place to place and position to position - exteriorized.

People come in, they look gaunt, they look starved, like that fellow you processed yesterday - real gaunt, see? Now, if you'd suddenly started to - now, that's why I say "secondarily processing," you understand - because if you'd started to satiate his hungers, yeoow! You'd have just been at it and at it and at it. Furthermore you would've jarred his bank up to such an extent that he wouldn't have exteriorized easily. See?

Oh, you mean change of - let's get these processes right now. Exteriorization isn't a process.

But if he hadn't exteriorized right when he did, after you did what you did - a few explosions, you exteriorized him, and you went on and worked him; the case got a lot better That's the right way to go about it. But if he hadn't exteriorized and he hadn't exteriorized and he hadn't ex- he's hungry for something. He's so hungry for something that he just can't let go of what he's got, it's so scarce, it's so rare, it's so unhaveable. In other words, something has escaped his ability to have. And the second it's escaped his ability to have, he'd hold on to any shadow of it. And a mock-up on an inverted dynamic is a shadow of something he can't have. And a missing mock-up is something that just doesn't exist, it's so rare. See?

Male voice: Oh, I'm sorry, Step I.

So, when we find the blank and the nothingness when we're tracing lines - we have nothing - it's something that's so scarce that he can't have it. Whatever computation went with it, who cares. It's some form, some aesthetic, some something, which is a nothing as far as the preclear is concerned.

Yeah, that's right; it's not a process. And the other, from place to place, is Change Processing, just as a designation which I have been using - change of space processing. Got that?

All right. What does this have to do with a case who is interiorized? It's a case of havingness. You ask this pc to take a look at his body. Does he take a look at his body? Nnnn. He can't see his body. Now, just tie this up with running up the end of a communication line and finding no terminal. And then you work with a terminal and you work with a terminal and you work with a terminal; all of a sudden he develops a terminal. Isn't this strange?

Male voice: Yeah.

Well, how do you do this? You put up nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Now blow up some nothings. If you really wanted to work hard at this, it gets very silly. You say, "Blow up some nothings." Okay, he blows up some nothings happily because he knows "nothing" can't blow up.

Now, exteriorization shouldn't be put down in your book as a process; it's not a process. It is a natural condition which we're restoring to a preclear. And when fellows get to a point where they're popping in and out of bodies, God help us. It means that they've got to own them, they've got to hide them and protect them, and - they're real bad off when they're in bodies. I mean they're just in a terrible condition when they're in a body. Horrible!

And then you get nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, duplicate, duplicate, duplicate, dupli- . "Now blow those up." "Hah! All right, there's nothing there." Duplicate, duplicate, duplicate, duplicate, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. "Now, now blow that up." "Wait a minute. There's the most curious thing here." It suddenly strikes him, now he's going to be curious about it. And he'll fight and fend around and talk about it and argue and so on. Well, you just keep him at work on duplicating whatever he's got there and blowing it up until eventually he realizes he's destroying something at the same time he's creating it. You ask him to duplicate it, so he can create it. "Well, blow up the duplicate." Well, he can destroy it. If he can create and destroy it, it can't be senior to him and it can't be dangerous to him, so therefore, "Well, let's take a look at the damn thing!" See, if we just go in on a gradient scale this way.

Male voice: I know that and I heard you.

Well, what's this got to do with a fellow who's in his body and can't get out? Here's a question of havingness. What's this got to do with Acceptance Level Processing? A great deal. Because if you were to sit down and just shoot Acceptance Level Processing at a preclear, just hour after hour after hour, you'd practically shatter him. You'd practically finish him. It's lots of fun but he would get so bogged that you'd probably have a hard time bailing him out because he starts to go to pieces physically if he's nailed down in a body and you start running Acceptance Level Processing.

Practically nothing can be done about them. I mean...

But sometimes, sometimes on one of these cases you start running Acceptance Level Processing and he will have a scarcity of something that is so apparent, right there, that it'll blow. And you can see how this is. He's nothing on the other end of a communication line. There's him to the body, see? There he is, there the body is with a collapsed terminal in between.

Male voice: It's worse than that in some cases.

Now, the body essentially is a something with a nothing on the other end of a collapsed terminal - a thetan. And basically, he can't look at himself. That's where the nothing is.

Yeah, well...

All right. Let's just try this, just as a little stunt.

Now, we have - we have in this - very interesting. I didn't mean to correct their - you on that - it's just that I want to straighten out that point real quick. That's very good; that's very good. Very good work, thank you.

LRH: All right, John, put nothing behind your head. Nothing there again.

I've got to start beating up the brush now for a few pcs. How long did this session take?

Well, let's duplicate it. Let's duplicate it again. Let's duplicate it again. Duplicate it again. Duplicate...

Male voice: Well, he could only stay one hour.

PC: What do you want me to do with the duplicates?

Well, it took an hour; I mean he took a long time on the session.

LRH: All right, just get a lot of duplicates there. Duplicates of nothing back of your head. Now, blow them all up. What do you get?

Adjust - adjust to that - long, long session. Just - get your - get your gun-shots in there so that the muzzle velocity is high enough to adjust to the techniques.

PC: What do you think?

Do you know, actually, auditors will say, "Well, this is a tough case," which means, "It ought to take a lot of hours." And then they will sit down and figure out, actually, how it can take that many hours. I mean, this has been going around the bunch. All right. So much for that as a case report.

LRH: Well, what do you - what do...

This morning, it's about time that I lowered the boom on you with regard to a process which is - we have been fooling around with but which is very serious and is the process and is the key process. One might say that this is the announcement - this isn't ultimate but this is an announcement of; as far as you'd care to be, pretty close to the top of the ladder for this universe and bodies and exteriorization and all that sort of thing.

PC: Nothing!

Now, there's some of you people who've been worrying a little bit because you weren't flipping happily and readily out of the body and flying about the place and seeing everything in a beautiful roseate or golden glow. And some of you have been worrying about this.

LRH: Okay. Now, is that real good, having nothing there, or bad?

Well, you haven't worried me, merely because we, here, learned something about human beings and learned something about life and so forth.

PC: I don't know.

There's no sense in ruining, as Burke said early in the course, all these beautiful cases. But I've got to start beating up the brush here, because we're going to be fresh out of cases here in a very short time. You see what a resistance Homo sap will put up unless you practically turn sixteen-inch guns on him.

LRH: All right, let's put nothing back of your head again. Now, let's duplicate it.

We have been talking about SOP 8 and we've been using SOP 8-L - 8-L is a learning process. You can run this on a preclear just as that and he'll learn something about life. Much more important, it's an educative process as far as we're concerned.

PC: Mm-hm.

If you're going to do anything about Mr. Homo sapiens, you had certainly better know how he operates. Why, that sounds - sounds very silly to say that; it sounds asinine for me to say, "Well, in order to do something about man you've got to learn something about man." It's silly for me to say that; it's too obvious. Only it's terribly original. It is painfully original in man's annals, archives - you don't find it - in order to do something about it.

LRH: Duplicate it again. Again. Again. Again. Can you duplicate it easily?

Now, you had a fellow by the name of Alexander Pope. In one of the earlier tapes I razzle-dazzled up poetry by attributing Gray's "Elegy" to Alexander Pope, and so forth. I was immediately assured after the lecture by two or three of the auditors that Gray's "Elegy" had been written by Gray. I get too subtile once in a while. Sometimes I get so subtile I don't know what I'm saying either. So you see, so it's even. I get lost, but when I open the box it's a big surprise. Anyway.

PC: No, it takes a little longer than that.

Anyway, when we look into the annals and archives we find Pope's magnificent piece. It's much greater, that poem, than Zeno's Apatheia. I guarantee that if you brought this poem into a sick room your patient would die; we could guarantee that it would work that way. He says, "The proper study... Seek not for God to scan. The proper study of mankind is man." Nobody took his advice. He didn't take his advice either.

LRH: Oh, it's-it's...

He goes on, then, stanza after stanza saying how it's hopeless. It's a gorgeous poem; you ought to get it and read it sometime. It's man's - the highest tone man ever reached in the study of himself Really fine, fine piece of poetry. Scans every line, rhymes too.

PC: It takes long enough to think it.

So we have then - we have, then, back on the time track just about that: a study of man. You have no idea how difficult it's been to study man; I can tell you now - take down my hair a little bit amongst us girls - I - it was just incredible. It was impossible to find out, as far as I could see, just where we were going with this because cases kept showing up which were worse off than cases I had ever seen. And cases were terribly bad off and they kept moting.

LRH: ... is it slowing down?

And the wonderful thing about it was, is how the people that I've seen walk through clinics and through my processing rooms and so forth - how people could still operate. This is fantastic. So we could just assume that man will operate - he will operate below anything else's operational level. And if you got way down below anything's possible operational level, you would reach a high-toned man. That's about it; I mean, it's real grim.

PC: No. It takes long enough to think of it.

Now, I've had you running computations, I've had you running all kinds of circuitry and shown you this and that, so on. We could go on for some time with this sort of thing because it's a beautifully complex problem and you can hit every part of it and it looks beautiful and it looks very convincing and so forth. Well, we could go on doing this.

LRH: Oh, you have to have time to think. That's right.

It just shows you how hard man will fight to keep a game going and how many things he will hide to keep a game going. It actually isn't very necessary for you to go out and clear all of mankind suddenly, at a swift swoop, for the excellent reason that if you did you'd spoil the game; you'd just ruin it - ruin it utterly.

PC: Evidently.

Capitalists wouldn't have any slaves anymore, communists wouldn't be able to parasite on the workers - you just wouldn't have any game going at all. Medical doctors, you'd give them no pain at all. I mean, think of what you'd deny a doctor or surgeon - blood flying around the place and arteries beating and the terrific drama - the terrific drama of going down and showing the appendixes - the appendixes to the - showing them to the relatives saying, "Just in time! Just in time!" I've seen a doctor actually spatter blood on himself so that he could go down and see the relatives, saying the operation was just in time.

LRH: Okay. Get some duplicates there of nothing.

Think of the drama - the drama that you would spoil.

PC: I've got about ten.

The only thing that happens to this drama is after a while it gets so - so dramatic that they can't tolerate it anymore so they say that's actual, and that's really real, and then nobody can tolerate the drama so nobody can have any drama and it just gets dull.

LRH: Blow them all up!

Now, the only thing you would really do... You would, if you just cleared everybody across the boards, a full sweep, you'd spoil the game but remember the game gets spoiled in another way. The game gets spoiled by arbitrations of "let's restrict." And everybody has agreed on "let's restrict." And that's the one thing they have agreed on: that we have to restrict to have a game. And then they get too good at it. And they get to a point where there's no motion. And there's where the game is now.

PC: Mm-hm.

So, actually, all you really desire is just to bring up the level of the game, not to knock out the game. You'd be surprised how boring it is sitting out nowhere for a long time - very boring, no action, nothing like that.

LRH: What happens as you do this?

Of course, action is compulsive, you understand. You go high enough up Tone Scale and you're perfectly happy to be serene. That's a funny, redundant statement, but there isn't any other way to state it in a MEST language.

PC: Oh, I feel a little shift.

So the technique I'm giving you now, actually, spoils your game to some slight degree.

LRH: Mm-hm. All right. Let's put nothing back of your head. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Now blow that up.

The beautiful idea of "The fellow is awfully aberrated and we have to do something for him." We could have the terrible drama of dashing in to the relatives and saying, "Well, he only lives twice."

PC: Mm-hm.

We saw a psychiatrist - we saw a psychiatrist last night - a play; oh, beautiful play, I mean, it was gorgeous. It opens up with a psychiatrist telling somebody - and it was on television, they've got that up pretty good now, you can almost see a picture - if you use your imagination. Anyway, this psychiatrist opens it up by telling the fellow, who is terribly discouraged, that it will take a long time. Well, he shouldn't really, really - he should realize something can probably be done, possibly, but it's going to take a long time. He explains this to his patient and that sets the note of the picture. And then he goes down and finds this girl who won't talk and can't communicate and who was arrested for murder, or something of the sort, and finally gets her to talk. And he runs half of the engram and gets her up to a terrific emotional charge, where she is just about ready to spill the grief on the charge, and so forth, but all he wanted it for was evidence for the court. So, he turns around and gives it over to the court; he leaves the engram half run.

LRH: Now what do you got?

And then they go away saying - she recounted how she'd murdered the fellow, you see, and she was just getting down into a beautiful release of grief when he just quits, you see, and ran out and told the judge what the score was, and so they - everything was fine.

PC: Nothing.

And this is real sloppy processing - real stinking, real stinking. Right in the middle of the engram (while she's running the engram), he says, "Hold on to yourself" Isn't that great? I mean, so we can assume from this movie which was a factual movie, and so forth, that they had good technical direction, and we can assume that this sort of thing occasionally happens, that a psychiatrist does not know Dianetics, much less Scientology. We can assume that. Well, that's just an incredible fact: I hardly feel you would accept it for a moment, but it's true.

LRH: Nothing. Good. Let's take that nothing and duplicate it. Duplicate it. Duplicate it. Duplicate it. Now what do you got?

And then he finishes up the picture telling - with the statement that the girl may recover sometime or another. Well, I don't know quite what this is all about, you see? "The girl may recover somehow or another," when the fact - the fact of the matter is that he had the engram half run.

PC: A lot of duplicates of nothing.

You see that? He has it half run and then he says she may recover sometime or another. Well, that is a beautiful example, and the only reason I'm bringing in television on you is just to demonstrate that that's the way they keep a game going. They do the right thing halfway and then hope that something else will happen. See, cause and effect, cause and effect.

LRH: Blow them up.

Don't dare take on a full cause; if you took on a full cause you'd ruin the game. Well, does a process exist which gunshots the case and exteriorizes people rather easily? Yes. But you had a good time with computational processes. And I hope that with these processes you have gained an understanding of what Homo sapiens is all about and how you exteriorize him and how he resists it and what he will get into and what he thinks.

PC: Mm-hm.

Because, believe me, after this it's going to seem kind of unreal to you that we would go through all of this amount of trouble. And if you start processing a preclear and he starts telling you this and that and so forth, it's all right in the processing room just to shoot him down in his tracks with a very fast technique.

LRH: Okay. Let's put - what do you got there now?

But remember, he's alive, he's out there on the street. That street isn't a processing room. You have to have some sort of an understanding of what makes him tick, for two reasons: one, so your insatiable curiosity will not lead you into numerous traps set by him, into tremendous numbers of insincerities rigged up as beautiful sincerities. You get the idea? It's the guy on the street we've been learning about, the fellow in the state house, the fellow in the government, the reactions that we see about in.

PC: Nothing. LRR: All right. Let's duplicate it.

Well, here are two guys and they have a couple of cars. There's one very gorgeous car and it has run into - it's right up here up the street, up here, this morning - it's run into the back of a - of a rather knocked about Ford sedan. But this beautiful green car - brand-new car - evidently plowed in real hard and - as was pointed out - and the fellow in the big new car slammed on his brakes to keep from running into the back of this other car in the rain. The nose of the big car dipped, you see, and then struck, and then, of course, came back up - you know, when they slam their brakes the nose dips. A very lousy sort of a way to build a car, by the way. If you build a racing car that does that too often you're in real trouble because you get up there around anything that could be considered a velocity, like 150, and you have one that ducks its bonnet and does a bow, and it bows all right, it also somersaults. But anyway, they built this big beautiful car this way, so that it does that. Its front springs aren't tense enough.

PC: Mm-hm.

So, here are two wrecking trucks, and one has hold of the front car by the front bumper and one - the other has hold of the back car by the back bumper, and they're trying to get these two cars apart.

LRH: Duplicate it.

And now let's get - let's get what they're doing. At the moment we passed, the wrecking trucks, each one having solid holds on the car with the big, beautiful new car sort of tipped up with its hind wheels slightly in the air, started to drive in opposite directions at the same time, you see, and yank and pull and bang, and you could hear pieces of bumpers coming apart and all of this sort of thing. It's very interesting.

PC: I'm just keeping right on duplicating.

Now, there's a perfect explanation: they're "wrecking cars," aren't they? And by Q and A there has been a wreck. So, what do you do about it? What do you do about a wreck? You do just what firemen do about a wrecked house by fire, you wreck it. See - Q and A. You can watch this identification running and actually it affords a great many jokes, because it's pretty silly. His intention - his full spoken intention, you see, is to - is according to what he said - what the owner understood - was that he was trying to "salvage" these cars, you see, and make them - bring them apart and repair them and fix them up and keep them from being further injured. That's what the owner understood. But there's no communication between the owner and the wrecking truck driver on this subject.

LRH: All right. Smash all those duplicates together with a terrific bang.

The wrecking truck driver - I'm sure that if you questioned him very carefully on the subject, you would find him very blank about it. What was he trying to do to that car? He wouldn't give you a satisfactory answer. He'd say, "Well, I was trying to get them apart, of course!" That's the obvious thing. Well, what is he trying to do? He's a wrecking car, so he has to wreck cars.

PC: Mm-hm.

Anyway, we have this sort of thing going on. As you see man operating, he becomes very funny. Now, as an auditor, you go much further on this and a lot of other things become very funny to you.

LRH: What happened?

There's this fellow lying on a sickbed, and this beautiful sadness is going on in all directions, and the children are about to starve because Papa is dying or something of the sort. And this can become screamingly funny, believe me. It is very, very funny. Here's this fellow about to shove off and pick up another kid, see, throwing all of his responsibilities to the winds. See - wham. Dickens with them. And here are all these - these other beings - totally certain that they have to depend utterly upon this fellow who is passing away.

PC: I feel like I've come up to the front of my face.

Why do they have to depend upon him? Well, they have to depend upon him, you see, because he's leaving. It's just complete idiocy.

LRH: Well, let's put nothing there again.

I remember one time I was driving down the road - this was in the Bible Belt - and driving down the road. It never quite hit me what they had been about in the Bible Belt until I saw this huge, huge hearse. It was just a wonderful hearse. It must have cost fifteen or twenty thousand dollars; the most gorgeous limousine you ever saw; a better car than anybody was driving around alive in. And it was piled high with beautiful flowers - much better flowers than anybody had on his table or at any wedding. And it was followed by car after car after car, all of which were just completely crammed with weeping relatives.

PC: Mm-hm.

And I looked at this thing going along and I couldn't restrain myself; I started - it was just one of those moments when I was carried away, and I began to laugh because it was so silly.

LRH: And again. Now duplicate those two nothings.

This fellow, for just one - one sweep down the line of cars and so forth, had never in his lifetime been accorded anything even vaguely resembling respect. He had been sponged on and ruined, one way or the other, and everybody - particularly the closest relatives, were real happy about all this, and they were weeping and they were carrying on and all this beautiful style was going on. To do what? Well, to put this mock-up down in the ground someplace and cover it over. It - honest it was real silly.

PC: Mm-hm.

And it had just come from an undertaking parlor where the undertaker had made a better looking mock-up out of it than it ever had been. So all the aesthetic, the flowers, the harmony, the sympathy - everything the guy needed in his lifetime, see, but never got - he's got it now; he's dead; he's on his way.

LRH: More duplicates.

This is a sort of a brutal sort of a - of a sarcasm or some kind of a ridicule on the part of a society, and yet they'd never see it that way, you see. Very, very fascinating. Man - man is just fabulous. He is - people - people say, "Well, why doesn't this Operating Thetan go out and do something or other in Russia and so on?"

PC: Mm-hm.

I know one pc I was processing was just furious with Russia beyond fury. And she kept on coming up the line, coming up the line, coming up the line, till one day it occurred to her that what on earth would she be doing for randomity. These Russians were such beautiful game. And a bunch of overt acts on the track, one way or the other, suddenly showed up and blew. Well, as a spirit she hung around Russia for some time before she finally got trapped in a body. And one of the Russians' penchants is to go on into the barn and all sit down griefily and burn the barn down on themselves, see? So she used to help them out getting into the barn.

LRH: More duplicates.

And here - here's this vast country that if today - if you were to put the face of Christ above it in a - in a huge visible mock-up above Russia - why, the whole government would cave in and everybody would go to pieces. And if you put up signs or icons to the effect of "Lenin has come back after having joined Christ and seen the light," Russia would never - Russia would never never be able to rest again. I mean, that would finish - finish off communism, it'd just be dead-pam. There would be no more communism.

PC: Mm-hm.

When the truth of the matter is, you see, that they've done this in the past. The Russian peasant is actually so accustomed to the rigors of living and is quite savvy, really, about thetans; he knows he's a thetan. And so people come up who don't even look the least bit like the fellow that's dead and they suddenly say, "Well, I'm so-and-so." And others come around and they say, "They're so-and-so," too. It doesn't make any difference to anybody in Russia. Big revolt! Shoot down the government; kill everybody; burn all the barns! I mean, it's just fascinating.

LRH: More duplicates. More duplicates. Now smash all those together violently.

Some leader dies - somebody could come up right now and if religion was still allowed to run in Russia - that's why they're holding religion down, see, at the muzzle of a gun - somebody could come along and say, "I'm Stalin." And if Stalin had any friends (which he didn't have), the government of Russia would just go appetite over tin cup - pam. That's all there is to it. But actually it takes somebody of a saintly, apathetic sort of a character to get the Russians upset this way. You see?

PC: Mm-hm.

So this Operating Thetan immediately saw all these things, understood all this and so forth, and just didn't back off from the whole problem. It just melted as a problem; wasn't a problem. Says, "Look at that beautiful playing field." It's something - you - they get up on world affairs somewhat on the basis of "What! Burn down Yankee Stadium?" It's just that silly.

LRH: Now, what do you get with that?

All right. Well, there are processes which burn down Yankee Stadium. We won't worry about those. We'll talk this morning about a process that brings a preclear into pretty good shape fairly fast.

PC: Nothing

You've had this process; I've been talking about it all along; you've been walking around the edges of it. This changes utterly nothing I've been talking about for a long time but you must know that SOP 8, as released, is not complete. No Step listed is complete.

LRH: Nothing again. Good. Let's put some nothing in back of your head. Got it?

There's just enough SOP 8 printed to do a job on psychosomatic illness and aberration and exteriorization up to a medium level of cheerfulness. That's how much SOP 8 there is out there. Every one of those steps, all the way down from I to VII, would require, for an outline of its total possibilities, at least a large chapter in a book to give everything that you really did with the Step all the way through. Those are model Steps, and the most elementary form of each Step is the part of SOP 8 that's been printed - just a mod - just an elementary summary.

PC: Yeah, got lots of them.

Somebody could very cleverly take one of these Steps and expand them, and so forth, and he'd see where they led. If he just carried it out just a Step and never figured it, he didn't figure any further, just carried the step out to reductio ad absurdum, all the way down the line, just completely exhausted it as a Step, he would see that Step I, Step II, Step III, Step IV...

LRH: Got a lot of them. Smash them together again. Now what do you got?

Step IV, well, as I said, it's got a sleeper in it: level of acceptance; how you have to waste. People can't even waste some of those things, do you know that? You can take as rough - rough subjects as there are in that list - some of the - even the rougher subjects - some people can't waste them.

PC: I haven't quite got them smashed yet.

I had somebody this - a very short time ago trying to waste boredom. I swear, I could just hear his brains cracking as he was trying to waste boredom, and it was utterly impossible. And then he got around to a way of where one didn't have to have boredom and he called that wasting it.

LRH: Well, it's easy to smash, they're all nothing.

It - this just was an impossible problem for him because I just started him in at a wrong level on the Tone Scale, and I just did it on purpose and just pushed him into the wrong level of the Tone Scale and he ran up against a blank wall, just as though he had hit a - hit a concrete wall with a tank. And he just - you could just hear his brains crack and his ridges creak; he was having an awful time. What he had to waste was apathy and then he had to waste grief and fear, hate, antagonism and then he could have wasted boredom with great ease. But we don't go into that sort of thing because it's very hard to get people to read anything that's very long, and also there isn't any sense in putting out that much information in one fell swoop.

PC: I know that.

Now, I haven't been holding back information. It's partly laziness on my part. There is no significance to me doing this, just beyond the fact that it isn't all there. But it's workably there. Do you follow me?

LRH: Well, duplicate what you haven't got smashed now.

On a Step I it says drill dangerous places, do this, do that and so forth. Also, I don't know whether it says it in the present issue, but it says earlier that you do all these on a thetan exteriorized - do all these Steps. I don't know whether SOP 8, as printed right now, makes that clear or not. You get the thetan outside and then you do all these Steps.

PC: Mm-hm.

All right, let's take Step II. Step I as printed merely says you take him to all these other places and you do this and you do that and so on. Well, it doesn't go into Change Processing; it doesn't go into shifting him from one viewpoint to another viewpoint and building up his viewpoint and so forth, but a fellow would understand that if he read the Factors. I mean, all I've been trying to do is make sure the information didn't get lost; it could be reevolved.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

II, Step II. Obviously if a fellow just kept mocking himself up and mocking himself up and mocking himself up, if he was in pretty good shape, why, he would exteriorize; if he was in pretty good shape. But you can use Step II for a total exteriorization.

PC: Mm-hm.

How? Well, you have to know about anchor points. You're not going to run any degree of charge off of the case one way or the other by putting up one anchor point; you don't have space there, you have a line.

LRH: And again.

Why do you think people have communication lines to other people? It's just because, you see, the whole universe would disintegrate if there was two of each of you - if you had two bodies and if there was somebody just exactly like you - someone just exactly like you - go through the same motions - you'd get a meltdown.

PC: Mm-hm.

Now you've seen Matched Terminaling? Well, the two terminals disappear; I mean, they just melt each other up, that's all. That's because you have a line between those two and you've got the rudiments of a plane which is at least part of space. But a line - a line is too rudimentary So if you've got one individual and he's very different from every other individual, naturally all you'll get between individuals is lines and this makes energy. And you can compound the lines up and pack them down and stuff them into things and make energy out of them and all sorts of things. But just don't go around being two identical people.

LRH: And again.

Twins for instance, have lots of fun but that's merely because they're rare. If you ever wanted to look into the mental makeup of a twin, if you ever had twins as preclears, you're in for quite a time They re just melting each other down all the time. It's fabulous, and they're meshed and merged and they - their individuality is shot, and one of them hurts herself and the other one gets hurt too, and - just fabulous. I mean, they may be miles and miles and miles apart, and one of them is in an auto wreck and the other one develops a headache or ... The motor rapport is too close.

PC: Mm-hm.

So, being an individual is, in part, a prevention of what? Of melting the whole universe down. That's about what it amounts to. Don't have two of everything; that makes them less valuable, you see?

LRH: And again. And again. Now slap all those together real hard.

Now, tells you that just putting out one mock-up, then, doesn't answer all the conditions of Step II. I was telling you now, Self Analysis, yesterday, get two mock-ups - space. Did you find that very interesting reading? Very interesting on a case level. Well, it would get a hell of a lot more interesting than that if you put up your body eight times and made space out of it. A fellow's got terrific certainty on his body; it's the first anchor point he'll get. So just put it up eight times. Some very interesting things will occur.

PC: Mm-hm.

Now, what about these people that the fellow's worried about? He knows there's a witch from Haiti hanging around or he knows he has a couple of friends or something of the sort, that keep pestering him when he's asleep, and he knows he's haunted by demons or something of the sort. He's real certain of it, isn't he?

LRH: Got that?

Well, for God's sakes take the most certain thing of the case and make anchor points out of them, and by that I mean at least four-point space and really eight-point space. He'll make eight-point space with great ease. He's certain of it; all right, let him make space out of it. So, he's just lost his - he's just lost his child or something of the sort. He's real certain of that child; he's never been more certain. As a matter of fact if you ask him closely as he's doing mock-ups, an image of the child will keep flipping in and out on him. It'll be blackness and the child and blackness and every once in a while he'll run into this image again.

PC: Yeah.

Remember? Invalidation is: make anchor points uncertain. Well, he's got a certain anchor point there, and that's beautiful stuff to make space out of; so let's just have the child around in eight points of space and his concern about it will vanish. It's a very simple process.

LRH: Did they go together more easily that time? Good. Now, let's mock up nothing right where you are.

Somebody says, "I knew this girl. She left me, and my emotions have been off ever since." It's not - doesn't follow that he - you can't turn these on just because he says they're off. He's quite certain of this girl; he doesn't get a visio of her, but he will very shortly. Just make space with her. A lot of these things will blow. You don't have to have any motion involved in it; no motion at all involved.

PC: Mm-hm.

See how that works? You take things of which the guy is certain and you make anchor points out of them, and he'll fly out into that space. He'll get all mixed up with life and so forth, and he will eventually pin his hopes on one type of anchor point; he's always got one anchor point, two anchor points, three anchor points. Well, you make space out of them. And the problems concerning these things will blow, but that's almost immaterial.

LRH: Nothing again.

And the point is - is you start him exteriorizing; that's Step II. Just keep it running all the way out. Most certain thing he's certain of is his own body; now, there's the entering wedge on a process. So just make - put eight - eight bodies; put him around eight times. When he can finally do this stably, he'll exteriorize.

PC: Mm-hm.

All right. Now, let's go down to Step III. And here at Step III is plain unadulterated murder. It says, "Spacation." Now, you're running concepts in brackets and that's all you have to know about it see? You run concepts in brackets. You just do a bracket - actually, it amounts to a bracket of six on space. It's a bracket of six, it finally works out to be. I'll show you what it is in a minute - the extra bracket, but we - the extra point. Just space.

LRH: Nothing again - just in the space coincident with your thinkingness.

And now we reduce that all the way and we find that we run a bracket of holding the corners of the room. It doesn't matter whether you do two or eight of them; it's best to do eight of them.

PC: Oh, not duplicating it.

Your pc will all of a sudden get blazingly bright, clear, golden anchor points sitting all over the place! He's liable to go around saying, "Gee, I got anchor points! I got ahhr-ahr!"

LRH: All right. Space coincident with your thinkingness.

How long did it take you to do it? Well, it didn't take you very long to do it. Everything is dark as a coal scuttle. Next thing you know he's got bright anchor points, and he sits them all over the house like Saint Elmo's fire. He's never seen like this; he's fascinated.

PC: Mm-hm.

Now somebody comes along and they haven't got good perception. I've given you some class demonstrations here; notable for the slowness of the process. But very interesting that these class demonstrations will pick up perception. Very interesting - one yesterday - pick up reaction time. Gave you another one yesterday - finding the nothing at the end of the communication line. That is the search for the other terminal, and that is the biggest search anybody makes in the universe - the search for that confounded lost anchor point. And the only reason they're stuck in the universe at all is they're trying to find that lost anchor point.

LRH: All right. Duplicate what you've got there.

Did you ever see anybody lose a collar button? Well, he'll just keep at it and at it and at it and there are about five other collar buttons sitting in that doggone bureau, and he'll just keep looking and worrying and wondering and fussing about that lost collar button. That's what people are doing with the missing terminal at the end of the communication line. He actually has an impulse to make things valuable, which makes them scarce. And you make things - something valuable, you've got to have few of it, believe me. So his idea, then, is the thing that has the fewest of anything is the thing which the most is lost. The fewest - the fewest is where it was but isn't and that's really upsetting.

PC: Mm-hm.

He wouldn't stay in this universe at all if he didn't think he'd lost something. Fellow says, "Do you want to take another airplane flight?" And the other fellow says, "No, I didn't lose anything up there." The hell he didn't. He's got things lost all over space; he's lost them on purpose so he can surprise himself when he finds them Then he's forgotten the mechanism And he has a hell of a time after a while, he just - he thinks he's lost, too. And he goes on down the line - great speed.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

Well, this is just a question of anchor points, isn't it? Anchor points or terminal points - it doesn't matter; there's a lot of classes of anchor points; there are anchor points, dimension points, terminal points and merely mass points. You know, you just got a lot of points and you throw them all together and that makes a mass and then you can make a bigger anchor point; but every point in a big anchor point is mass. Call them "anchor points" and you're just as happy as dimension points. They're just points and they make space.

PC: Mm-hm.

The whole problem blew apart at the moment we cracked the definition for space. This utterly, inanely simple definition for space was missing in the technology and knowledge of man - utterly missing. Now, he could have had that definition, you see, without blowing up the universe, you know. He didn't have to be this obtuse.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

At first - he didn't have to he this stupid as to pretend to have a science of physics that depends upon space - utterly dependent upon space and then ignore the fact that it's dependent upon space and study energy. That's really "don't look at it," isn't it?

PC: Mm-hm.

And then it keeps talking about space though: things drop through space, space, space. Everywhere you go in a physics textbook, you'll discover that they're using space, space, space, space, space; it's all they're talking about.

LRH: Again. Smash all those in.

And a physicist's main worry is, as he boils down atoms and gets more and more atoms, and they get less and less, and so forth is that - the fact that he finds smaller units all the time and so on, and he's running out - he - he's - right now, he's getting frantic because if he can't find a smaller unit than he's found, he'll have to face the fact that he's looking at space. See that? He can't do that, so you get - by the way, your nuclear physicists of today are crazy.

PC: Mm-hm.

That was the fastest route to insanity, the study of nuclear physics, if you were going to take it seriously. You find them dropping down Tone Scale like bombs. Why, these nuclear physicists are joining the "Committee for the Enforcement of Communist Liberty in America" and recommending enemy aliens for employment on secret projects and just... Ah, boy, they're really on their way. In a beautiful condition they are, for a - an auditor. How can anybody be that bad off and still live?

LRH: What happens?

You - to understand this and appreciate this you'd have to know some of these boys intimately, and if you do then you know what I'm talking about. But you haven't seen, on the streets, anybody as bad off as a nuclear physicist. In the common concourse of man, in the delicatessens and so forth, you just don't find anybody that bad off. Why?

PC: Well, it just seems like a little tiny black point.

He is avoiding the last avoidance, which immediately tells you that his case must be in terrible condition. He's down there to a point of where he is doing a "must avoid but can't avoid." And that's like "must reach but can't reach," and so it develops an insanity; and these boys are mad as hatters.

LRH: Oh? Curious. Let's duplicate it. Let's duplicate it again.

The one piece of technology which they have to have to resolve nuclear physics and to resolve their own madness is just that idiotically simple definition of space - a viewpoint of dimension. They cannot admit that there is a viewpoint! Everything is impartial, you see? There is dimension but they can't figure out what makes space because they can't admit the existence of the viewpoint. And so, the whole subject is lost to them because they can't admit livingness, which is source, you see? So they're looking at the ultimate effect of livingness and are reaching as far away from livingness as they can reach!

PC: Yeah.

Well, just of course, in this whole statement you've got, why you get technical societies just going by the boards. My God - a technical society. If any of you have rehearsed any of your space opera lately - holy God!

LRH: Let's duplicate it.

They have a big tower in the town, you know, and the fellow thinks a hostile thought to the government and goes down and turns himself in for an electronic shock treatment. Why? Well, he knows it's picked up on the tower. How does he know it's picked up on the tower? Well, he's been told so, with a few thousand volts behind it.

PC: Yeah.

If you think a hostile thought or an unsocial thought with regard to the town or the government of the town or the people connected therein, you see, it says here in small electrons, you have to go turn yourself in to the local police station. They just simply walk in and turn themselves in, saying, "Well, I thought a hostile thought this morning."

LRH: Duplicate it.

"Okay, sit in the cabinet on the left" and the technician presses a couple of buttons and depersonalizes them completely; in other words, takes everything they've got and throws it away and then put them in a new doll or something that goes out and shovels...

PC: This could go on for about two hours and I'd have enough to fill up a cubic centimeter.

I don't know how they invent work for these people to do, is what's most interesting because all the machinery does all the work. This is a this is a technical society. And that's the kind of a society which an engineer creates.

LRH: Oh, I see. They're this tiny, huh?

And now, you talk with engineers about the human mind and he says, "Ahh! the human mind," he says, "is subject to error," he says. "UNIVACs and ENIACs," he says, "they're much more reliable."

PC: Yeah.

What's his level of certainty? You just never happen to tell him, you see - you just - just don't ever bother to tell him this one because it's a crusher; he can't quite avoid it. What dreamed up the UNIVAC and ENIAC? If you force him down onto it, he will eventually have to admit that the human mind did. And this makes the human mind cause. He either goes immediately into apathy or goes into rage. You give him a rough time when you do this sort of thing to him.

LRH: All right. Say you've gone for two hours now and have a cubic centimeter of it.

I don't know a single engineer working with this sort of thing who isn't, bluntly, in the early stages of neurosis, and the bulk of them I have found have been in the late stages of neurosis. All of them are having tremendous trouble on the second dynamic, particularly. They're in bad shape, poor guys. All right.

PC: Mm-hm, pepper.

These lads, of course, because they're figure-figure-figure- figure-figure-figure-figuring all the time, and because they have gone past the point of any conscience with regard to anybody else; that is to say, they're not alive so they know nobody else is, you see? They've gone past the point of conscience. What they dream up as a society is an inverted level and so you get societies composed of God and so on.

LRH: Got it?

This society is on the verge of sinking into a technical society and that's no game at all; that's what you call no game. It's all electrons and everything. And everything's push-button and automatic and so forth.

PC: Yeah.

Okay. Spacation, then, embraces space. And space is simply a viewpoint of dimension. And if carried out as a process will just knock cases just to flinders because it makes the case admit that space is caused by a viewpoint! And it's a process that has just as much duress on it as an electronic shock if you'd run it hard and tough. And it doesn't matter a damn how you run this process, I hate to tell you. As long as you run it in its orderly sequence, you can be as tough as you want, as mean as you want, interrupt anybody as often as you want and really boot them around because the process simply runs out every lock that you put into it. Just - that's fact.

LRH: All right. Come down on it real hard from all sides and smash it in on itself.

And it gets the guy over the biggest hang-ups he's got which is DED-DEDEX, without thinking about them, and the overt act-motivator sequence and his unwillingness to free other beings. His fear of other beings is such that he's unwilling to free them, and so he hates to confront a solved problem on the subject of freedom of others.

PC: It won't smash.

Now, how do you run a Spacation in brackets? Well, I'll come hack to that in a moment and we'll cover the rest of SOP 8.

LRH: It doesn't smash? Well, make a duplicate of what didn't smash.

Acceptance Level Processing is a learning process. The pc finds out that he has been tying to get himself to get mock-ups accepted and it shows him what kind of a mock-up is acceptable. Sick little boy was all that was acceptable to his parents. "What.." you'd say, "... what kind of childhood did you have?

PC: Mm-hm.

"Oh, I don't know, I was sick my whole childhood."

LRH: And a duplicate of that.

You say, "Well, mock up a sick little boy. Mock up a sick little boy. Sick little boy. Sick...”

PC: Yeah.

"Well, I can't get any mock-ups," he'll say. It's pretty ... "I really - really once in a while get one but I mean I was a sick little boy, see. It's very hard..."

LRH: And a duplicate of that.

"Oh, come on, get a sick little boy."

PC: Mm-hm.

"Oh, yeah, well I get that all right, now. Yes."

LRH: A duplicate of that.

"Well, who's accepting it?"

PC: Mm-hm.

"My parents."

LRH: Take the last duplicate and smash it.

You say, "Just mock it up again. Mock it up again."

PC: Mm-hm.

"Yeah, the only ones that do accept it is my parents."

LRH: Did it smash easily?

"Mock it up again. Again."

PC: Mm-hm.

"You know all they wanted around was a sick little boy! To hell with them!"

LRH: All right. Smash all the other duplicates and the original together.

See, that's kind of an immediate sort of a reaction you very often get off of a preclear.

PC: Mm-hm.

He learns that a medium state of sickness, amongst other things, is what is acceptable to the society; the society doesn't accept somebody who's well. And - the - you can't tell him this because it's just evaluating for him; just get him to run this process: "Now, put yourself up as mediumly sick - not objectionably sick." Just get him to put that up a few times. "Now get other people putting it up." All of a sudden he'll say, "You know, the whole society runs that way, doesn't it? It's kind of silly, but it's true. Everybody's got to be just a little bit sick so they're not too dangerous."

LRH: What happened as you did that?

In other words, he learns also that he has to hold back his own brightness, his own recognition, his own lookingness. You can teach him this with Acceptance Level Processing.

PC: Well, it seemed like a peace pipe.

Now, let's have "What kind of lookingness..." (we were running this yesterday), "What kind of lookingness is acceptable to Papa? And what kind is to Mama?"

LRH: A peace pipe, huh?

Normally, if a case is really bad off; he'll come - always come up with this: "Gee, no kind at all!"

PC: Just before I smashed it.

Case is stone-blind. Now, this is - what is his perception level - the level of acceptance of his perceptions? Well, this has a tendency to sort of clear the air for the ease and makes him kind of understand that maybe - maybe he wasn't the beast, the dog, the bum that everybody wanted him to believe.

LRH: Hm?

"Now, let's mock up an unsuccessful man." See, and he mocks this up and he mocks this up and he mocks this up, well, until you ask him, "Who - who's that acceptable to?" He's telling you his life has been very unsuccessful. Who's he acceptable to? Not his father, not his mother. Why, his grandmother! Bums coming to the rear door were the only ones who ever got fed and the only people she was ever nice to - tramps. Well, boy, you'll blow a whole character right there like you pointed a demi-cannon at him, see? There's nothing like this kind of recognition to teach your preclear what he's been up against, so that he will be willing a little more willing to be shot around.

PC: Yeah.

Now, he always will go on figuring - unless you run something like this - there's something really wrong with him that he's still hiding from the auditor; he's still hiding some- something really wrong with him, because, and so on.

LRH: Just before you smashed it. What have you got left after your smash?

Of course, the auditor's level of acceptance is assumed to be very, very sick and aberrated people, so very often you'll get somebody who is very anxious about being accepted, so they sit down on the couch and the first doggone thing you know they - they're just madder than hatters. Doesn't matter how computational this is, the point is that the acceptance level of the auditor, according to the preclear, is somebody who's madder than a hatter. And they want processing so they would simply act crazy. See how that is? You get this every few cases. The fellow is acting much worse than he is. Yeah, you'll get it - very interesting.

PC: Nothing.

And when we get to V, of course, we get Exteriorization by Scenery as simply Change Processing done and done and done and done and done and done. And it finally turns out to be real.

LRH: You got that nothing?

And VI - well, I don't know any handier process in recovering some certainty on the fact that he's been alive and by that he may be able to adjudicate that he will be alive; that's all we're really trying to do with it one way or the other.

PC: That's right.

And he can't have any anchor points in this universe so let's have him have some anchor points in his own universe, so he can locate himself in his own universe, anyway. You'll find that process III run too hard on a very low Step case will just butcher him for a while. They'll feel their - feel their wits staggering, so you don't want to push it too hard. This fellow looks pretty shaky to you, well, give him a little bit of Self Analysis, anyhow. Let him find the room before you lower the boom on him.

LRH: Well, good! Let's just mock that nothing up as a duplicate.

Now we go into "What room?" we get just contact processing which is physical contact processing and we have talked a great deal about what you can do with various contacts, various viewpoints, people sitting in one chair and the other chair, and you can go on and on with this process. And it gets back to Step III again. All of this stuff keeps coming home to Rome, and Rome is Step III, because it has to do with space.

PC: Mm-hm.

There isn't any energy, as such, but there is reduction and increase, vanishment and creation of space; holding space steady and static - there's lots of space. That E-Meter over there is made out of something which is there because it doesn't have any space in it compared to how much space it could have in it. So you have metal. You see.

LRH: Another duplicate.

And what's astonishing to the physicist continually is the fact there's much more space in this universe than there is matter, and he looks in the electron and boy he looks at those light-years between the electron and the proton in comparison to the size of the electron and proton and he gets really astonished. It's lots of space in the doggone electron. So he's scared to really look too close because he'd find it was all space: because he'd look in the electron and he'd find out that there was a lot of space inside the electron. He'd look in the proton, there's lots of space inside of the proton.

PC: Mm-hm.

Now he finds that this space, again, is demarked by "yumptrons" or something of the sort. They're probably - probably would be called "peditrons" or it would be something learned like that and he'd look in there and he'd discover that what these things were composed of was lots of space. In other words, he's just looking at space, space, space, space, space and each time finding the dimension. And he thinks - he thinks he's looking for something. He isn't looking for anything! He's looking - you see, he isn't looking for any thing; he's just looking for space!

LRH: And another duplicate of that.

And if the guy would only suddenly relax and say, "Gee! I'm looking at a lot of forms of space," his problems would fall away, they'd be solved. He's looking at forms and arrangements of spaces.

PC: Mm-hm.

Male voice: What he's - trying to do is prove he's not a view point.

LRH: And a duplicate of that.

You're right. You - that's a very good summation of what he's trying to do. Trying to prove he's not a view- viewpoint, that's right. He has got to waste himself as a viewpoint to that level and prove he's not a viewpoint.

PC: Yeah.

You ought to see those guys optically. You'd think that they were all equipped to go on the firing range with optical range finders when they start polishing up their glasses.

LRH: And a duplicate of that.

Well, it's all gotten down to space. Now, let's take space in a bracket.

PC: Yeah.

First, let's take the guy's own space and the other universe's space and thus dispose of two universes simultaneously. And it would go like this: We would have the fellow - let's just use eight anchor points just for the dickens of it - preclears don't have to have just two, there's no scarcity of them. And this works, by the way, very well if you just start out using eight anchor points. You don't have to work up to eight. But occasionally, if you ran into a case that was very resistive on the thing, theoretically and only theoretically, it might be best to start out with two, three, four and work him on up to eight. Personally, I wouldn't do that; I would just tell him to get eight anchor points, and he'd gasp and fume and fuss - and say, "Well, get eight black ones in the blackness."

LRH: And a duplicate of that. Now knock all those duplicates together suddenly.

"Oh-ho-ho! I can do that." He can do that! What do you suppose he's doing?

PC: Yep.

LRH: Okay. What did you get when you did that?

PC: Intersection - the lines intersection.

LRH: Have you got a line intersection there now?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Let's duplicate the line. Duplicate it again. And again. Again. Again. Again. Now take the two ends of this line and join them both together - the original line.

PC: The original, which one's that?

LRH: Oh, you can't tell them apart now. Good. Just take all those lines and join all their ends together.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got that real good?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got a sort of a big loop or circle or something?

PC: Well, I've got a lot of loops.

LRH: You've got a lot of them, huh? Come down on them with a big smash.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: What happens?

PC: Mm, like a piece of string with a knot in it.

LRH: Made it real small. Duplicate that.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Again. And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Again. Now, roll all those duplicates together and then arrange them as a cube of space.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got that cube of space? Now, put yourself in the middle of it.

PC: I guess.

LRR: Got it?

PC: I guess!

LRII: All right. Yank all those down on you suddenly.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Do you like that? What do you have left as you do that?

PC: Nothing. LRH: Hm?

PC: Nothing.

LILH: They all disappeared again?

PC: Well, l made them into a cube of space - I kind of disappeared them. You see how that - I'm - what I mean, I just made a chunk of space out of them.

LRH: Oh, I see. Well, why don't you get them back again and put them around as eight...

PC: All right.

LRH: ...anchor points.

PC: Oh, all right.

LRH: How did you have this cube of space, by the way?

PC: Just a little cube of space.

LRH: Yeah.

PC: ... about an inch in diameter.

LRH: A little cube of space?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Which direction is it from you right now?

PC: Well, I tried to have it where I was.

LRH: Okay. Let's put these eight anchor points - these eight cubes - get eight cubes just exactly like you made before - and put those around you.

88 PC: All right.

LRH: You got those? Yank those in on yourself suddenly.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Come in easily?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: No resistance to them at all?

PC: No,. there wasn't at all.

LRH: Hm? Good. Good. What do you got left?

PC: I've got this string waiting around here.

LRH: All right. Duplicate the string.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Give it a yank so it gets longer.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Did it get longer?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: You didn't believe it did.

PC: Well, I believe it as well as I believe any of the rest of this stuff.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Sure.

LRH: Oh, you mean this stuff's giving you a little trouble, huh?

PC: Well, I don't see any of it.

LRH: You don't see any of it.

PC: I get an idea.

LRH: Oh, you get an idea. Duplicate that idea of it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Duplicate it again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now smash all these duplicates together.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: What happened?

PC: Oh, got a little mass, seems like, to it.

LRH: You got a little mass there?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Well, duplicate it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LURH And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And again. Now, we get you playing "Ring-Around-the-Rosy," around it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Can you do that? Doesn't seem to interest you.

PC: Well, I don't know...

LRH: You got it real good there?

PC: Yeah, I got it stacked like a stack of soda crackers.

LRH: You have, huh?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now grab it suddenly and keep it from exploding. What happened?

PC: Well, I just got an idea of "hanging on for dear life." If it was about to explode, I don't see why I was hanging on.

LRH: Now, what have you got there?

PC: Well...

LRH: This string developed any?

PC: Well, it's not a string anymore.

LRH: What is it?

PC: Well, let's see. First it was some ideas and then I smashed those down; it got like a little wafer and then I made a bunch of duplicates like a stack of crackers. : LRH: Now what is it?

PC: The same.

LRH: Just a stack of duplicates?

PC: That's right.

LRH: Well, grab it quick again and keep it from exploding.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Make a quick lunge at it again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRR: Another quick lunge at it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another one.

PC: It's only about this thick now.

LRH: Make another lunge at it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Is it disappearing? Huh?

PC: It's just about gone.

LRH: Just about gone, that's too bad.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, blow it up.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Did it blow up nicely?

PC: It's gone.

LRH: It's gone. Okay. This gives you no - does this give you any idea there might be a communication line around there anyplace? PC: No, it didn't.

LRH: It didn't, huh?

PC: To me - to me there isn't any.

LRH: Okay.

PC: But...

LRH: All I was trying to do was develop a line...

PC: What it does do...

LRH: ... to tell you what I was doing. Trying to develop a line so we could find nothing at the end of it. What was it doing?

PC: Well, what it does do is it - I kind of get an idea of more substance to these things than there is to my mock-ups.

LRH: Oh. That's real interesting. Good.

PC: There's not much substance.

LRH: No, nobody's finding you with any substance.

PC: There's more.

All right. This one carried on and on and on and on and on and on, far longer than I'm willing to carry it on, will - at this time - will eventually develop with the preclear a piece of communication line. Now, he starts developing and stops developing, and so forth, and he'll eventually get an expanded line of some sort or another. He'll be at the other end of it - the first thing that he associates with him. But he won't associate himself with it. He'll be "no responsibility." And this is the case of "all lines" and so forth. And when we're searching for a total responsibility, we're searching, at the end of every line, an identification with the terminal.

Now, you see the analogy between nothing at the end of a communication line and a person not getting out of his body. Do you see an analogy there? Well, do you see an analogy with no communication lines of any kind, and a possible development of a communication line? It's the same, same gradient scale, see? Nothing and then - a nothingness of communication lines and then the semblances and so forth of communication lines and then gradually, little by little, more and more of the preclear.

PC: You get wisps. The first time that I imploded just a nothing behind my head, well, it just seemed like wisps of smoke back there.

LRH: Okay. This is just no effort, really, to get somebody to look, but this is giving him as much at a time as he will look at, that's all.

PC: That's right.

So you just might as well settle down for a long haul on that kind of processing. Perfectly good processing, by the way. And if a case is - doesn't exteriorize, sometimes you run that processing for a very short time and the guy will suddenly exteriorize. That's all there is to that.

Now, let's add this up about acceptance level and havingness. Now, we know that anything a person has been thoroughly denied becomes scarce with him or nonexistent. Well, that's somebody else putting up a screen for him to protect him from something. And the screen will have in it something on the order of "no soda crackers." (He's mentioned soda crackers, all right.) He's got - obviously had no soda crackers and then he could have a soda cracker. All right. So we're just busting through screens, screens, screens, screens, screens and it develops on to Acceptance Level Processing.

Once in a while somebody will say, "Licorice. What am I expected to do with all this licorice?" or "What am I expected to do with this or that?" He's just come into the possession of licorice. And if he were to think about it for a moment, he'd feel kind of pleased (if you called it to his attention). You don't have to call it to his attention though, it just passes away.

Now, here's your acceptance level building up. What I'm trying to show you is it's the bottom rung of automaticity. This is automaticity in operation. It's automatic automaticity, if you want to call it that. Well, the process which simply unveils automaticity, minute after minute and yard after yard, and so forth, will eventually wind up with less automatic operation of the body and more self-determined preclear. That's obvious, isn't it?

Well now, let's just take the horns by the bull and stab the preclear straight to the heart. What can't he have? He builds up a screen against soda crackers. You throw a soda cracker in front of him; you find soda crackers on the E-Meter - pang - charge on soda crackers. All right, you just have him mock up soda crackers, soda crackers, soda crackers, soda crackers. All of a sudden they seem to be going into some section of blackness - pong, pong, pong. And the next thing you know, an old force screen or something will appear which was set up there to resist soda crackers. Of course, soda crackers is not something that people just put up force screens to resist usually, but it's much worse that they are resisting.

For instance, sex. People are walking around all the time, they wonder why they have a sexual anesthesia - some of these cases that do have one - they don't get any fun out of sex anymore. Well, if you just start having them mock up everything connected with sex, in shape and form and size, they'll all of a sudden find these mock-ups - well, they - the mock-ups at first won't exist - no existence, no existence, no existence, none, none, none, none.

You say, "Well, just keep putting them there. Keep putting them there. Put some more there. Put some more there. More. More." All of a sudden they say, "Well, now it's getting - it's very funny, it stays there for a moment."

Now, if you keep this up, in a moment or two - I mean, in a few minutes you ask them, "All right. Now what are the mock-ups doing?" They say, "Well, you know, there just seems to be a vacuum cleaner sitting around here someplace."

You get that? It sets up a force screen. That which a person resists he eventually gets a starvation for. This is a starvation screen. You want to know what I mean by hunger? He resists something, that makes it scarce, and then he'll get hungry for it.

This is a heck of a note. This is why electric shock is so effective on insane people. You hit them with a hard shock, you see, and they set up a resistance of being shocked while they're dragged in there, you see? And then the shock hits them and then they get a hunger for electric shocks. And you know, they'll come back for their electric shocks just as regular as clockwork. They can let them go anyplace and say, "You be back Thesday for your electric shock," and they report right back for their electric shocks, see? Because the screens that they're setting up every time are so quick - they sell themselves they can't have a shock and it creates an instantaneous hunger for a shock. You get the force involved with it. The force is so great.

The worst thing in the world you could do for anybody in that condition is to give him a heavy jolt of MEST - easily the worst thing, see? You just have to turn every reason that anybody ever thought of inside out to figure out an electric shock. But the patient gets a hunger for electric shock machines. And that's all there are to it.

He doesn't want them, the force screen is caved in on him, and the caving is so violent that it creates a vacuum, and the vacuum is created - an electronic vacuum - and this is created by an electric shock so that the only thing that fills the vacuum is electric shock.

Now, what's that got to do with electronics? Every once in a while you get a preclear who has - seems to get an absolute thirst for electronics. They're - every time you turn around, they're in a new electronic.

"Oh, boy!" you say, "For God's sakes!" so on. Well, the way to do it is just have them rig up electronics that same way. "Mock up an electronic. Mock up an electronic. Mock up another electronic facsimile. Now mock up big machines, and all this sort of thing," - electronics, see? And you'll see them going into the bank, slurp, slurp, slurp. And the next thing you know there'll be heavy jolts and that sort of thing, and the fellow has fulfilled some of his acceptance level of living. It isn't just a - his acceptance level: What's his acceptance level? Shocks.

Now, this business of having to waste things before he can have them is an assurance that they exist. See, it's an indirect method of observing them, that's all. And it answers up on the subject of waste. Well, there's a lot deeper reason and significance to it than that. The best significance to it is that it works.

Now, let's take, then, what this preclear really can't have. He compulsively comes back and grabs bodies, but he can't have one, they don't exist. He has physical anesthesia. He can't have a body.

Now, in Acceptance Level Processing, unlike Expanded GITA - Expanded GITA is a bit different. You waste things before you can have them. But Acceptance Level Processing is just an effort to determine what grade of the object - when you're hitting at a real object, see, real direct - you vary the grade, that is you vary the quality of the object until he can accept it, rather than waste it first, you see? You vary the quality of the object. Now, that is the significant difference. It's done in brackets of five just like everything else is.

But what is the quality of the object? Now, if you can find the quality of the object that he will accept - like an egg. The person can't have an egg. You've found out that he has an allergy to eggs. All right. You'll find out that he can accept some kind of egg. You know he's going to be able to accept some kind of egg. But you just start downstairs on eggs. Of course you go immediately into rotten eggs, and maybe he can accept rotten eggs. That's good. And you just let him accept rotten eggs till he can accept good eggs. Simple.

But usually if there's an allergy to it, it's a little worse than that. So it'd be a rotten egg where the chicken was about to be hatched and died and is now lying in there all decayed. And he can't quite accept this but if you put mold over the outside of the - you see, you're caving in a lot of screens at once - if you put mold over the eggshell and then if you were to paint it with some unmentionable subject, and so forth, he's going to be able to accept some portion of this.

Of course, you can be fully prepared, after he's all through, to get the dead chicken, whatever the unmentionable stuff was the egg was painted with, and the mold - they're all gone - and there sits, very purely, an eggshell. He can't accept it. I mean, here we go. I mean, you could be prepared for that sort of thing to happen.

But what the preclear can't have, of course, on an inverted dynamic... If he's in a body, you're just trying to exteriorize him; and when we get this specialized, why, what he can't have, of course, is a body. This is terribly elementary. He's in a body and you're asking him to get out of the body and he can't get out of a body because he hasn't got a body.

That's what no responsibility is. He is on the basis of "I am not and I do not have a body and I am sitting in nothing, but I am alive and going through life."

How does he account for this? Well, he goes through and accounts for it on the basis that he is a stimulus-response mechanism which is being guided by the social world around him and he is under the influence and effect of the world around him, and this accounts for every and any impulse of thinkingness or anything else that he has.

What is the level of psychology and psychologists on the subject of bodies? Right there. They don't exist and they can't have one and there are no communication lines, therefore, from themselves to the body; and the body is thereby and therefore solely monitored on stimulus-response mechanisms coming in from the environment. And in addition to that, it's all monitored by some mysterious entity known as God, or something, who started it all out. And you have adjustment to the environment by psychology. This is about as degraded as you could get, but they've managed it.

Now, their acceptance level is fantastic. They're even "can't survive" on a body they can't have. They have to go out, in psychoanalysis, into the second dynamic, which is the future. They not only can't have a body, but the body they can't have can't survive as itself so they have to concentrate on the second dynamic. But everybody knows the second dynamic is no good because that's all anesthesed too, so we have to go off into cravings which stem from an extended second dynamic - which doesn't exist - and, of course, the cravings are forbidden by the society, so you get a dead end. So that is how they say apathy is produced.

This is how - how far can you get from not having? But that's all you're leaving is - you're leaving from the point of being able to have, and then as the person goes down the line on deterioration, why, you get this sort of thing. They go down the line on the dynamics: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. They can't have a body but they can have God. Now, that's all the way out the line. But intervening, they can't have themselves, they can't have a communication line in themselves because they don't exist. Now we get to the first dynamic as represented by a body. Now we're already inverted, so we can't have a body, and this body we can't have, can't survive either - it's very frail and not dangerous to the environment - so we have to go into the second dynamic. And we find out that there is - one can't have babies, that's just unthinkable - have babies. So we've barred on can't - on a "can't survive" there, as a "can't survive" on babies, so we have to go into sex itself and account for it as a sensation. And then, of course, there isn't any sensation in it unless it itself is a bit twist- . But there's no sensation that way because the society bars that out. So we have to look for it in a group.

Now, we get a basis of we can't survive in a group because politics and so forth are all balderdash, and we can't get anywhere like that, so we can't survive in groups, so we can't have a group.

So we look over here and we find we can't have man. The reason we can't have man is man is stupid and he's here for a very short time and he can't survive and he is prone to be destroyed in a very short time anyway by atomic warfare, so we can't have man.

Now, that's all very interesting, but if - see what we can have here. Let's get the level of acceptance. We go out from can't have man - fourth dynamic - to animals. And of course, it was very cute to have puppies and cats and that sort of thing when one was a very, very little child, but, of course, "one isn't a child anymore, and they're too much trouble, and one always loses one's pets anyway," so he can't have any pets, so that's a can't survive on the fifth dynamic.

Now, the MEST universe is all very well but it's all illusion. Well, one doesn't want an illusion, so he can't have an illusion. And when he was very young, why, Christ was all right, he was very friendly, as a matter of fact, and so on. But that's mostly - people, you know, they have to believe in that sort of thing. And they did once, but it requires nothing but faith and, of course, they can't have any faith anymore and they did have hopes on that once in a while, but actually religion doesn't lead anybody anyplace in the final analysis because you never get your wish anyway so, of course, one can't survive on the basis of spirits and religion, and so forth.

So that leaves just, of course, God. "And, of course, God naturally exists because there is all this space around here and this space is obviously surviving so, of course, it's obviously surviving. Of course, the space itself is liable to collapse. But the prime mover unmoved is not liable to collapse because he created all this, and maybe he can't either." And nobody yet has come up with as flat a "can't survive" as "God will never again be able to create another MEST universe." But if we mentioned it, brother, it'd be out in the streets.

"It is highly unlikely that God, having created this universe, will be able to create another one. After all, look at the lesson he's learned from looking at man down through the ages." If you were to start beating the pulpit on that you would really see some apathy, because when they go all the way out on the inverted dynamics, they get out to that one, and God, he survives.

And you go down to the sanitarium, the boys who are completely inverted on all eight, so on, they can turn to just one, one location. You can't even take Christ in a sanitarium. There's nobody going to do anything about Christ, particularly. If you find anybody there "he is Christ," he's already completely inverted on it, see?

Okay. What's this a problem of then? It's a problem of havingness on the inverted dynamics. If you just wanted to turn all these things around and run Acceptance Level in brackets on any preclear who simply couldn't get out of his head, you're going to be able to turn all these things around and just wind up back up the track again.

Fortunately, the people with whom you have to deal and the techniques with which you are dealing - present moment - are sufficiently strong so that you could start in, in full stride. You don't have to go through too much of this. But let me assure you that that I have just given you as the reductio ad absurdum of the case - remember it, because it's the inverted dynamics, in brackets, on Acceptance Level Processing.

Some day, in dumb desperation or other, you may all of a sudden find somebody who doesn't respond anyplace but the seventh or eighth so completely that it's only the seventh or eighth in a completely debased form that he can accept. Now, remember that. You'll even have to get the seventh and eighth.

You're trying to get this fellow to have a body so he can get out of it. This is the same thing I've been talking to you about for days. It's just another method of attack on the same problem.

All right. Acceptance level. Pc dropped in - processed some little time ago, the other day - and I ran her for about ten, fifteen minutes. This auditor had run Expanded GITA on her, just ad nauseam, and it had turned on considerable nausea. She was in bad shape. So on the basis of the fact that the "hair of the dog that bit him" is the best cure, why, I fed her some more Expanded GITA and snapped her out of it. Odd part of it was that her eyes, and so forth, had hung into the color and she'd stayed stable through this. She was just sick physically. So I hit it right where it was and got her to accept healthy bodies. It was an immediate result. This case exteriorizes, by the way.

"All right. Healthy body. Get another healthy body, put it in the chair there. Another healthy body. Another one. Another one. Another one. Another one." This case is getting sick by this time, see? "Another healthy body." Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Getting real sick. Getting much sicker. And suddenly the gastric juices were in contest with one another and she was getting into a rather desperate look on her face as she picked up gaily another healthy body and another healthy body, and she was putting them on, you see, sitting there in the chair, one after the other. And this was getting horrible. She was getting into terrible condition, you see?

So, naturally, I was just trying to build this thing up to jar into her what her goal was. And then I gave her an old, moldy, decayed, dead body that had died of psoriasis. And boy, she put that on and that was much better. And she put on more and more and more of these and gradually she was up to a point where she was taking bodies that were merely dead. And then she was merely taking old bodies that were about to die. And all this with great rapidity, you understand. I mean, there wasn't any slowness about this, she was getting - communication line picking up - she was feeling better and better and better and better. In other words, by forcing her - pardon me - by giving her healthy bodies she was being forced at the wrong level of the scale. And by feeding her a gradient scale of bodies she could accept, she recovered from this illness. That's something for you to remember.

To give her something she could accept - it was right on the button was a certainty. What was it a certainty of? You see why it was the wrong end of the scale? She knew she couldn't accept, but she was being forced to accept a healthy body, so therefore, the mock-up, everything else, was insecure, uncertain. But to give her a body that was at her level of acceptance - this was great certainty. And so we merely had her certainly accepting bodies, which was what our goal was. Our goal was not to feed her decayed bodies, our goal was merely to get her to accept something she could accept and knew she could accept it, and therefore, on a gradient scale of certainty, bring her right back on up to the point where she could accept a healthy body.

A little bit of this processing is fantastic. This woman was ill and she left not ill on this process which I tell auditors, "Don't use this broadly on cases," mainly because it's not necessary to, but mostly because they just don't have the instruction, the indoctrination on the thing.

There comes a time, and there are some cases, where you run Acceptance Level Processing - they're bad enough off on acceptance - where they run Acceptance Level Processing and Expanded GITA simultaneously. Now, how do you do this?

You find the worst body you can possibly think of; in the worst condition, in the worst location, and they still can't accept it. Well now, you can run all the way on out the dynamics and run it by the dynamics or you can simply start in and shortcut it by running "wasting the last body you thought of." And if you had exhausted it down that far, they will probably be able to waste, in brackets, that body.

Such cases, fortunately, are not particularly numerous. They're - it's kind of rare. But the point is that any time you run Acceptance Level Processing and you just can't get bad enough on this case to get him to accept some kind of an item which he has to be able to accept - the only one you're really interested in is a body, right at this stage - is you run it all the way down scale as far as the condition of the item is concerned and then waste it. And that last one - wasting it in a bracket and then bringing it back up and accepting it - very, very well may turn the trick.

But the quickest shot in is Acceptance Level Processing. The longer process is Expanded GITA. You follow this? See, in other words, to do a fast job we do Acceptance Level Processing. And we just take a good shot at what this person has, and we guess - we guess this will do it, and we give them that, and then we run it down scale a little bit and generally they can accept it right along. But if they don't accept it with a little feeling of relief, if you don't really get that relief reaction from them as they accept it, you haven't gotten far enough down scale for - they're just being obedient. It takes your judgment as an auditor to know whether or not they're accepting this thing with certainty. That's the judgment.

What kind of a body will somebody accept who doesn't get out of his body easily? Well, that's for you to find out as an auditor. And you run it on Acceptance Level Processing.

All right. Let's take a pc that is in pretty good shape rather than someone who's in bad shape - there aren't any here really in bad shape.

LRH: All right. Now, let's put on a beautiful girl. Mock up a beautiful girl and put it on.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another beautiful girl and put it on.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another beautiful girl and put it on.

PC: Mm-hm. Each different or the same?

LRH: I don't care.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, each was different.

PC: No, they tend to be the same.

LRH: Yeah. Well, do you find it very easy to accept this?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Very easy?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good! See. All right. Another beautiful girl.

PC; Mm-hm.

LRH: A really gorgeous girl, now.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Oh, fabuious, with lots of training and manners and oh, stuff, you know? You know? Now one with terrific choreography ability.

PC: All right.

LRH: One with a beautiful singing voice.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: One who is rich.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: You notice all those talents? Put on this beautiful babe.

PC: Yes.

LRH: Is that better?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH.~ Put on this real good looking babe. Huh?

PC: Yes.

LRH: A nice-a nice babe, now.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: A very polite girl.

PC: No.

LRH: See? I was just doing that for - just to razzle-dazzle on the PC. There's an example of what acceptance is.

All right. Now get this completely uninhibited, utterly defensible woman.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now get one who is very beautiful on top of all this.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now get one who is very vicious.

PC: Mm.

LRH: A very beautiful, vicious woman.

PC: Mm.

LRH: A very beautiful girl who could get exactly what she wants.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: We hit it. How do you know we hit it?

All right. Let's take this beautiful girl who can get exactly what she wants, again.

PC: Yep.

LRH: Again.

PC: Mm-mm.

LRH: Again.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Again.

PC: Yes.

LRH: Let's mock up a lot of boxes of her; boxes full of her

PC: Mm-hm.

LIW: All right. Now keep taking them out of the box and putting them on.

PC: Mm.

LRH: What's the matter?

PC: By the dozens.

LRH: Dozens.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Good. Let's rig in some more boxes, have a whole bunch of freight trucks pull up outside and get people carrying those boxes of them upstairs - putting them on with fair rapidity. Let's have a warehouse of them down on the Delaware River, all of them beautifully animate. And get them, now, that are perfectly controlled by you.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: That better?

PC: Mm.hm. Mm.hm.

LRH: Get them now that can perfectly control others, too, but not you.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Don't like that so well?

PC: Mm, too tiresome.

LRH: Tiresome. Well, now get them that just love to be crushed.

PC: Mm.

LRH: That better? Whose emotions and impulses go out of control very easily.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Have to be watched very carefully. Hit it. Now let's get those, lots of them. Now get them with very beautiful eyes, particularly lovely eyes. All-seeing eyes, now, that can look straight through people, but are very beautiful.

PC: Mm. No.

LRH: Eyes that people are afraid of.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Eyes that pull people in.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Eyes that are very daring.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Just simply beautiful eyes. All right. Get a girl now who has eyes and really can use them.

PC: Mm.

LRH: And has no inhibition whatsoever about doing so.

PC: Mm.

LRH: What have we hit? Go on. Another beautiful girl.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Another one.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Another one. Another one. A very relaxed, feline girl now; very nice, beautifully dressed.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Daringly dressed.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Nakedly dressed.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: More of them.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Get lots of them.

PC: Mm.

LRH: One that can't be embarrassed.

PC: Mm.

LRH: More of them. More of them. Why don't you just cram all these down in a space where you are.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Cram them down real good.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Real tight. Okay. Now get a flock of them for the future. Enormous number of them for the future.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Now get babies that will grow into them in the future.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Enormous numbers of these.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Get those all racked up properly so they're available at any moment.

PC: They're almost so available they might begin to get boring sometime.

LRH: They're so terrifically available?

PC: They're beginning to get a little bit that way.

LRH: Is that right?

PC: Mm.

LRH: Well, let's get...

PC: Not quite.

LRH: ... about twice as many.

PC: All right.

LRH: Now let's have them perfectly preserved. Now let's have an entire - a tremendous system of completely reliable preservation for these bodies, so there's just no slightest chance that you would ever miss getting one of them anytime you wanted one.

PC: Mm. Yeah.

LRH: Got it?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Real good system. Now just hide that whole setup so it's only you know where it is.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now let's mock up a bunch of babies that will grow into such beautiful women in the future.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got that?

PC: Acres of them.

LRH: Acres of them?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And now have them - have beautiful women, too, so you wouldn't have to even go through the trials of being a baby to become one.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Got that?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Got that? Well, put some protection around these.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now on each one make sure that you paint the sign - of your own sign, insignia - as your property.

PC: Yeah. Yeah.

LRH: Got that?

PC: Yes.

LRH: All right. Put a big sign over the gate about "sole proprietor."

PC: Yeah.

LRII: Okay. Well, let's be about ten feet back of your head.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Better ease on it?

PC: I like "Over" better than "in back."

LRH: All right. Be a thousand feet up, then.

PC: Oh no. Don't rush to extremes!

LRH: Okay.

PC: Yes.

LRH: Be above.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now exteriorizing a little more easily?

PC: Mm.

LRH: Mm? Now, what would you lack to exteriorize much better?

PC: Mm.

LRH: What do you think you might have?

PC: Perception.

LRH: You might have some perception. What kind of perception do you want?

PC: Visual mostly.

LRH: Mm?

PC: Visual is what I lack the most.

LRH: Visual, huh?

PC: The Seeing Eye dog is a little nearsighted.

LRH: Good. Well, let's take this visual idea now and let's find out what kind of looking you can have.

PC: Well, fuzzy, to begin with.

LRH: Well, let's take very fuzzy looking.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Fuzzy and blurry.

PC: Yes.

LRH: And a limited number of objects.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Fuzzy, blurred. Now mock that up, mock up that kind of looking.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And get yourself accepting it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And let's get - accepting some more of it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Let's get it foggy, fuzzy and blurred. Got that?

PC: Yes.

LRH: Let's get some more of them.

PC: Yes.

LRH: Now let's get a very limited number of objects that you can discern.

PC: Yes. LRH: Let's mock up accepting it some more. Let's get lots of it.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Okay. Let's take a look around now. Is that a little better or a little worse?

PC: Mm.

LRH: A little worse?

PC: A little better.

LRH: A little better?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Let's get the kind of looking you would get through cataracts - through eye cataracts. Mm?

PC: That's kind of blotchy and gloomy.

LRH: You don't like that so good. You could have that.

All right. Now, let's kind of get the kind of looking you'd get through great thick spectacles.

PC: That's too clear.

LRH: That's too clear? Well, get thick spectacles that have been stained almost black.

PC: No.

LRH: Well, how about mud splashed on them?

PC: No.

LRH: No. What kind of looking would you say it was?

PC: Just a little vague and distorted.

LRH: All right. Let's get distorted - distorted-vision lenses in these so they distort the vision. You know, blur the vision?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now let's accept a lot of those.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Easy to do?

PC: I'm not enthusiastic about it...

LRH: Let's get other people accepting them, too. Just start throwing those things out into space and find out who they are acceptable to.

PC: I see quite a lot of people that are very curious to look through them.

LRH: Oh, is this what's wrong with them? Yeah.

PC: They're like looking at a crazy house mirror or something.

LRH: Oh, I see. Well, get gauze to look through.

PC: Gauze?

LRH: Mm-hm, gauze.

PC: Mm.

LRH: Lots more gauze to look through.

PC: No.

LRH: You don't like that? What do you like, then?

PC: Just sort of musty vision, you know, sort of a - through a rain or a little foggy or...

LRH: Good. Good.

PC: ... something like that.

LRH: Let's get it through a hard rain.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Get lots of vision through a hard rain now.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: More vision.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: More vision now. More vision now. Now let the rain let up somewhat.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now let it let up somewhat again.

PC: Mm-mm.

LRH: Okay. Now get what would happen to you, where you are there, if you suddenly did take a look.
