Throughout the world of man you will find very many pleasant things occurring. And man isn't all bad, not quite. Business isn't entirely crooked and so on, not quite. I found an honest businessman once. He lived in China. He was back - in a little back town in China. And I sent him some currency one time and told him to send me a couple of pieces of jewelry and he did. And there was no receipt involved for the currency or anything. I mean, he actually sent them and so forth. That's honest business. Of course, I wouldn't strain that one too far. I wouldn't look here in America and make that crack.

And I want to know first, before we go further in this, what you have done with this process this morning.

But man in all of his behavior is being supported at this time by a few fairly high-level thetans that kind of keep things in line. Well, these fellows don't even know what they're doing. Every once in a while somebody comes along and - most of them, they don't know what they're doing. They're trying to hold up a cultural level. But one by one, back along the track, these boys have been getting yanked in and pushed deeper.

Don't all speak at once, please.

Randomity in the past was very good - randomity in the last part of the first thousand years since the end of the Roman Empire, along about 800, 900 A.D., there was still quite a bit of randomity. That was because nobody who amounted to anything was going back through the screens. And you had some fellow who was the king, and so forth, and he was a pretty good thetan. And you had somebody who was a baron or something of the sort. These boys hung around this way. They seldom went into the church, but they would play around at that level. So you had an actual divine rule by families. You see, you could - king could count on the fact that it was probably his grandpop in his boy. You know? The guy - the guy hadn't - didn't go back through the Martian screens or he didn't get messed up in any fashion and he came in and he got born and he was, I mean, he took the body that was offered and bapped the hell out of anything else that was trying to get it. And along about the second or third year, why, some nurse would say to him, "Now eat your cereal." And he would be saying, "Did you add 'Your Royal Highness' to that? No? Footman, ten lashes!" You know, three, two. I mean, they had really imperial ideas. You don't find that sort of thing happening.

What happened with you, Mr. Young?

At that time you still had a lot of thetans who were flying around Earth who were not in bodies. They'd pick up one occasionally or guide it around. You had thetans that were still playing "King of the Wood." You had actual temples which had actual spirits with them. You had phenomena occurring which was miraculous. And in short, man was a bit burdened by the fact that thetans like randomity.

Male voice: Well, a lot of chips blew.

But life was interesting. Life was very interesting all the way across the boards, But it was too interesting for some and gradually the Martian screens got very, very efficient. I doubt there are very many thetans here on Earth today who aren't making a routine trip, life to life. We're really getting "Arslycusified" here on Earth. And you don't have Apaches. Amongst the Apaches, now, you find it rather routine, nobody has picked up the - nobody has picked up the Apaches to amount to anything.

Hm?

And you go find an Apache and you say, "All right. Now let's remember a time when you were up on that bluff;" or something of the sort.

Male voice: I say, a lot of chips that I have been getting for the last few days, quite a lot of them blew.

And he'd say, "Yes."

Quite a lot of them.

And you say, "When?"

Male voice: Quite a lot, yes.

"Oh, it was a couple of lifetimes ago I was up there."

Hm-hm. Anybody's perception turn up a bit on it?

Routine, utterly routine.

Female voice: I ran it and I believe mine did, just running it.

And you say, "All right. Well, now, how far back can you remember?"

Good. You mean running it on somebody else?

"Well, yeah."

Female voice: Hm-hm.

You say, "What have you got there?"

Yeah. What happened to your pc?

"Oh, I killed a couple of US troopers. Gee." That sort of a reaction.

Male voice: Well, I don't know. I think something - something happened to him; he speeded up a bit on his ability to...

What's his level of reality on it? Same level of - probably a better level of reality than most Americans eating breakfast. They're recalling back three, four, five lives at a crack. In back of that the scenery is altered so much that it's become unimportant. It's just the scenery itself that has messed up their memory bank. Get the idea? There's nothing to refer to so that you would have to handle them with mock-ups, and so on.

Hm.

Well, now, this wipeout between lives is a pretty, pretty terrific snarl. But you start up a great deal of thetan activity here on Earth again and you're going to get lots of randomity.

Male voice: ... shift. And I know I turned on something on me while I was running him. It just came - came and went.

Civilizations have existed on Earth which were very pleasant civilizations. There have been very pleasant things to do on Earth. People have been happy on Earth. War was not always a depersonalized, you-get-drafted situation but was very often a lot of fun. Greek war: "Well, I got killed fighting Sparta last time." It was fabulous.

Uh-huh. Did you try black anchor points?

Now why these boys never put more of their own information down on paper or left it coming along the track is not a mystery. The information's been carefully destroyed - carefully destroyed - by the one organization which was supposed to be keeping it alive, corrupting it the whole distance.

Male voice: Yeah. I did.

Now, let's watch what's happened to Dianetics and Scientology. People have just been breathless trying to get some kind of a claim on being authoritarian in Dianetics and Scientology so they could turn it into buffoonery of some sort or another. There hasn't been a person - and I know a couple of places in the US which still profess to have some claim to this. They expect me to go into a fight on the subject all the time. That's real interesting. Somebody comes in every once in a while, says, "Why don't you do something about this?" And I had to think for a while to figure out why I should do something about this. And then I figured out that it was because they thought I should do something about this.

Well, the next time you audit it or anybody audits him, put imaginary anchor points there.

But anyway, these places aren't even vaguely handing along any information on the subject although still professing themselves to be madly devoted to Dianetics; not even vaguely handing out anything. They hand out the basic law of survive and they hand out the dynamics. Then they run two or three other laws in there that don't have anything to do with this, see? And then that sort of flips things. And then they take an AP&A; and they've taken Postulate Processing and turned it around, one way or the other, so it's not quite workable. And the people going through those places are - this is not propaganda, I mean this is just a demonstration point of this lecture are being sent to spinbins all too often. It's not for your operating information. That's just a demonstration of what happens any time you try to put out information along a line which will bring up and represent a greater freedom.

Male voice: Hm-hm.

A greater freedom. Every time you mention a greater freedom, you mention with the same words - you mention, to most people, a greater terror. They think security actually lies in being completely chained down.

He can have his certainty that the anchor points that he's putting up are imaginary. Also, put up his body eight times. That's the way you drill into a case like that where you don't produce a fairly swift result instantly with this process.

But none of the data which should be handed forward on the line of the spirit, the soul, what you do after this life, or anything of the sort, is being handed along by those allegedly responsible for it. And the people at this present time doing that, and for the last many hundreds of years who were doing that, haven't even known they were being irresponsible.

You find out that there has been anchor point trouble. There has been real anchor point trouble.

I doubt anybody has even dragged up There's still some of the dialogue - the dialogues of Plato are still in existence which cover, to some slight degree, Theta Clearing. And Homer is still in existence and it just beats it to death!

Now, let me give you an example of what kind of anchor point trouble there can be. If we're operating on a level, Homo sapiens processing and so forth, we better know something about what kind of anchor point trouble he can get into. And one of them is the trouble of the unwanted child. And his anchor point trouble is the fact that he can't have any anchor points of his own because it is made pointedly clear to him that these anchor points belong to his father belong to his mother or belong to the orphanage or belong to the state or something of the sort. Well, you can really chew right in with this technique - pam - pam - on a factual level rather than let it happen as what it is, which is just an excellent drill on space, that the thetan, after exteriorization, simply starts picking it up as just a wonderful method of getting precise and locating things and getting perception and so forth.

And yet this is all - until just about sixty, seventy years ago, Troy had never existed. Everybody was being very careful about the fact that Troy had never even... I don't know how on earth they could have missed Troy's existence because it's the only place that you would have put a town. And there were seven Troys or nine Troys (I think they've gotten up to now). And how people would say there was no town there was more than I can figure out. Is it nine now?

In other words, he's pretty well already on the road to using it, exactly what it is. He has got to be able to make and unmake space with rapidity in order to get anything accomplished that he might want to accomplish, including having an interesting time of it. The making and unmaking of space is what he has to be able to do.

Audience: Fourteen.

So, we find a thetan exteriorized - accepting it on that level. Arid we find somebody who is not yet well exteriorized accepting it on the level of the resolution of the reason for: "What is the significance of?"

Oh, they've now got down to fourteen. I haven't watched them digging lately.

Well now, to get the preclear into communication there has to be some of the Q and A factor involved between the preclear and the auditor. In other words, the preclear must be able to feel that the auditor appreciates the fact that the preclear is having reasonable difficulties. That's not making light of his difficulties; he just has to accept it on that basis.

Well, it just shows you here that we're putting out at this moment, at this very instant, a piece of information which should have been carried along for a long time. But I'm afraid you would have to go back pre-Earth to get this data, because thetans didn't have this data by which to prevent their going through these screens and taking care of situations that they should have been taking care of. So they'd evidently forgotten that they knew, but they didn't even hand forward their own existence in a form that could have been of any help to anybody here.

So, with such a case, the case has to have a reason for and wants the effect of. Well, then let's be very precise about what we are doing. In such a case, we want an assessment - a good assessment; and we want to find out what kind of anchor points is it he had trouble with. Well, the kind of anchor points: Is it familial? Is it state? Institutional? Religious?

I don't know how far on the track you'd have to go back for the definition of space. It's the only thing you're looking for. It's all you're looking for. How far back do you have to go on the track for a definition of space? You won't find it in any electronic society or any space opera. That's the last thing they would hand out to a space technician: a definition of space - with a viewpoint in it? Oh, no. No, we know viewpoints don't exist.

We'll find that anybody has a certainty on something somewhere on the inverted dynamics. No matter how inverted they are, he's got a certainty someplace or he wouldn't be in communication at all. And he can have a terrific certainty on one of these dynamics, even if it's only a certainty on a crucifix, even if it's only a certainty on some girl who has left him flat, or even on some guy that's left her flat. She's got a certainty, he's got a certainty somewhere on these dynamics. Use those for anchor points and you've immediately established the reason for.

So, in short, they had other definitions of space. There are more workable, materialistic definitions of space than they have now, by the way. You can actually do fantastic things with space if you just work with anchor points. But if you don't have any viewpoint in there to represent it, you never get humanity out of it. And that's why science never leads to humanity; why science only leads to a destruction, war, enslavement.

He can get a certainty on an object in mock-up. He's actually using a duplication of the MEST universe - heavily. You see how that would be?

The condemnation of science is long overdue and, what do you know, has already occurred on the European continent and has occurred even in a more advanced state in England. Today the word science is so bad that when I started calling what we're doing Scientology I got in to a minor revolution. It wasn't anything but the fact that the English people today believe that science has let them down but thoroughly. And anything with science connected with it is something they rather smile sarcastically about. It's not that they're interested in humanity. They just know science doesn't work. And what do you know, they're drawing right back out of science. They are not following scientific method worth a nickel.

We take somebody who has been jilted at the altar; have her put up the bridegroom. She's sure certain of him - boy! She may not be certain of anything for the next eighty years unless you process her. But she's really going to be certain of this fellow; he jilted her. And that sure stuck her on the time track - pam! So, have her put up the bridegroom in a bracket of six. And then have her contact this universe on your next six number of brackets, and here we go. Simple as that.

What's this got to do with what I'm telling you? It's because what I'm telling you doesn't take very long to tell. I'm trying to give you some sort of an idea of what can occur to you and to people.

The next thing, we find out that it was her mother that pushed her into the marriage; now she's certain of Mother What's she trying to do? She's trying to fix responsibility. Every time she tries to fix responsibility on something or has fixed responsibility on something, we use it for anchor points. And the total bracket on this is, if I remember rightly - let's see, that's one, two, three, four, five - it's eleven; it's a bracket of eleven really when you use the MEST universe confines, plus the other person's universe, plus one's own universe; there are eleven commands. You just run it right straight through.

If you become free and able to operate, you won't find yourself terribly interested in the baser games any more than you go passionately and devotedly down to the corner grocery store to watch a checker game if you 're living in a small town; any more than you would drive five hundred miles or something like that to watch a boys' grade school play football. See, I mean, it's just not a game.

But what do we - what do we do with the bridegroom when we run into the MEST universe? We simply have the bridegroom hold on to four corners of the room, and have people hold on to the four corners of the room for the bridegroom. See, this is - this is how we run the play called "Jilted at the Altar."

So we don't have to worry too much about disrupting what takes place. But those - the society is suffering today from a lack of clear view and randomity. It's suffering badly. Otherwise, it would go down into a technological society. Well, let's try to stop it from going down there. How do you do this? Definition of space. It's as simple as that.

Now, without - without being facetious to the preclear and thus upsetting his - his concept of how serious it all is with him - you remember that you can actually push him back. The one thing he's deathly afraid of; if he has gotten into this situation, is ridicule, which is why he won't put out his anchor points, see?

So we get to the process, which I'm giving you at this time, which is "running eight anchor points in a bracket of six." And if I give you this, I give you also no particular responsibility on how to use it because the use of it brings about all full responsibility, which is, of course, no responsibility at all. But as you use it you're going to see people come up through all the brackets there are to come through, and one of those is cruelty. They can get real cruel. Cruelty is pretty base actually. If a guy - if a guy can't have any sensation except by being cruel, he's in real bad shape.

That - he can't put out his anchor points is expressed to him as a fear of ridicule; he can't get them back in, is what this really is. So he's trying to pull all anchor points in. This - he's playing the game "The reason why" - fear of ridicule, fear of betrayal, so on - the reason why. He's trying to fix or she's trying to fix responsibility. "Why was she jilted at the altar?" Well, we don't know why she was jilted at the altar. There isn't any reason why she was jilted at the altar. The fact is she was jilted at the altar but she wants the reason why.

You'll be bringing people up through ethics and all of this level. Well, the only way to tell you where a person goes with the use of such a process is just run it and find out. But you're used to handling less effective processes, so remember that this isn't a less effective process on this universe, the other fellow's universe, and your own universe. And by the time you run this and exteriorize your boy, you can drop him anywhere you want on the exteriorization.

Well, so she'll try to fix it on the bridegroom, then try to fix it on maybe the bridegroom's mother or her mother or the bridegroom's family or there'll be some specific character; she'll finally get down to a desperation. If she were not being processed in the process, she would be very desperate, if after she'd sorted this through she had found out that she had to fix it on the fact that the dog which she had owned as a little girl had not had any puppies. And this psychoanalysis simply marches forward very boldly and lets her remove responsibility completely out of the sphere of action and anchor points that she can have anything to do with and pushes it madly back into some symbol of the symbol of the symbol of the symbol, and this is quite acceptable. What is this? This is an inability to accept responsibility.

Well probably, with all the people we have here, we have that many different ideas of how the society ought to run in order to run well. We have this many different concerns about existence. It's a funny thing - it might - you could controlledly change a person's direction by running such a technique. So remember that you can. The only thing that I look toward this technique is rather puckishly look to the fact that the least that'll happen is people will stop going through the screens - the Martian screens. Yeah, it's very upsetting. There's already a very large section of the barracks and so forth up there really smoking. Some places are just kind of mounds.

Responsibility would merely mean the ability to accept various patterns of anchor points and various ownerships of anchor points. Flexibility to accept responsibility, ability to own an anchor point is - about the lowest understandable MEST language that you can put it. Of course, there isn't any up above that. I mean, responsibility? This is real silly!

But here, let's get on to business, here. We've dillydallied around with this long enough.

"Fix responsibility? Well, I'm responsible, of course. How silly!" I mean, it's just that sort of a reaction. What are we talking about this for?

A bracket of six is other people's space for other people in which somebody else gets caught, as the additional point. It makes this difference: that there's others for others in which you get pinned down.

Low on the scale we have to fix responsibility. The fixation of responsibility each time is, again, the reason why. And so we use Acceptance Level Processing for such a person; he's very satisfied. It's these damned screens; it's these doggone objects; it's denial; it's restriction; it's... See, again we're into the reason why.

Somebody puts up some space for somebody else and it surrounds you and you're there. It's not intended for you and this is the innocent bystander. And the other one is the technique of the other person is the innocent bystander. Other people put up space for other people, hut a third party gets caught in it. And that's the bracket of six.

But when you're picking a case up the line, we can cross, we can cross with great ease "The reason why" and Anchor Point Processing by merely making the anchor points into forms of which the person is very sure of.

And that goes this way: You have the preclear put up eight anchor points for himself. What kind of anchor points? I don't care. He doesn't care either. And you'll find out that somebody that's had - been in jail a couple of times, if you ask him to put up jail windows as the anchor points, he'd get a real big certainty on it. He'd also get darned upset. But the essence on this thing is that it's run, again, just as you handle the hack corners of the room, without thinking. Each one of these is run without thinking. Have the preclear put up anchor points. He can't see? All right, have him put up black anchor points - eight of them, in which he's sitting.

Now, the way we get him "very sure of" is because anything they have tried to fix responsibility on as the reason why is, of course, to them the cause. So, although they put up the anchor points, they "know" they're not putting up the anchor points because they're not cause - no sir! Under no circumstances - they're an effect.

And then give him this that he has somebody else put up eight anchor points for themselves. But he does it with this. He gets them simply putting up eight anchor points for themselves or himself See? Then it's others.

So, the only way that you could get them to put up anchor points is to put up something which they have assigned to be cause. So we would have the girl who is jilted, she didn't - she didn't jilt herself - no sir! She knows that; any fool knows that! And so naturally, to get her to put up any anchor points - she has been betrayed. This means all of her anchor points have got to fold up on her, slam back into her. That's the way you demonstrate that you have been betrayed. You see, she says this, and this is obviously true.

Now he gets other people putting up eight anchor points in which he's situated but the anchor points being intended for somebody else. That takes familial problem - a little kid, parents; Papa got the home for Mama, but the kid's there and he's not appreciated.

So, you just sneak it in kind of sideways on her. And you say, "All right. Now, put up - put up the fellow who jilted you eight times," and keep putting him up in brackets; that's all. She's cause so he's kind of putting up the anchor points too and somewhere along the line she'll realize that she is really putting up the bridegroom as anchor points. Although she will do it quite willingly, she's not going to admit that she's doing it.

Now we get other people putting up anchor points for other people in which, again, a third party is trapped. You see how that would look? You get how it would look; that's the main thing.

And you get the idea, the difference between admitting that she is putting up the anchor points and putting up the anchor points, that is accepting the ownership of the anchor points.

Now, let's get somebody putting up eight anchor points which surround the preclear but not the other person. And the preclear - by the way, early in the case, take this one last - the preclear putting up eight anchor points for somebody else.

She'll - very often they look like thieves or something while they're being processed. Like some - some girl, something like that, who is terrifically occluded, they look - they - ahhhhrnm. They'll put up these anchor points - they're somebody else's but they'll put them up. Good joke on the auditor. Real good joke on the auditor. They aren't her anchor points! She'll put them up. She stole them; she knows that. She's borrowing them for the moment of the session. She'll return them afterwards. See, this is the kind of an attitude. They aren't real; they aren't hers. This is the - what you accept as a no-responsibility level. Well, it's true.

Male voice: Around someone?

And you'll get many preclears who are tremendously cooperative and completely irresponsible. Now, just mark that down as the - what you're looking at when you look at some of these preclears who say, "No. That didn't do me any good." They've just got something there. There's something somewhere in the bank they can put up that is direct effect upon them - direct - has a direct effect upon them.

Yeah. That's just all in his own or other people's universes. Get the idea? That's just own and other people's universes. When he does that he's up against letting people go free which is giving them space. And that one he will care to ponder over for a long time but you don't worry about him pondering, just have him put them up there.

Now, remember I said we mustn't forget that Dianetics says that they get stuck on the time track. Well, they can be stuck on the time track or they can be STUCK on the time track. See? Gradient scale. Well, when they are really stuck, oh boy, you better find something close to the specie of what's sticking them in order to free them.

Male voice: He's running out a punishment in brackets.

What is getting stuck on the time track? It's an old space being gone from a facsimile. And the facsimile now is trying - tries to expand and when it expands it takes the space out of the adjacent material because the preclear probably was putting no space back into it.

Mm-mm.

When you ran a facsimile all you did was put space back into it - present time space. He went over the incident several times and, of course, he kept putting space in it. He'd eventually put enough space into it so that it would disappear. In other words, we kind of wore it thin. Here was a process by which you could iron out or scrape or claw at or erode a deposit of energy. You'd let space into it gradually and it would gradually expand.

Male voice: Should he - should he know the people that he's putting it up for? Should he be putting up for particular persons or...

Well, if you could find the place where the person was stuck on the time track - that was the game we were playing - find out where he's stuck and then let some space into it. When he lets some space into it, it would no longer stick to him and because he was not then being the effect of it, he did not think he was in 1892 or something. See, this facsimile occurred in 1936, let us say, and - it occurred in 1936 and it affected him greatly. In other words, it took all the space out of some moments.

No. And the auditor never directs who. Just put it up for somebody else or put it up - next time you go through the bracket, just say, "Put it up for other people. Put up space for other people now."

Now, if you've ever noticed, you run a preclear, his reality fades out when somebody departs from him suddenly. He can actually feel the reality in the environment go. You ever had it happen to you? Somebody gave you some terrifically bad news - oh much too fast or too quick, and you just watch the environment just fade right on out - just out.

Now, you want him to put up just one piece of space, in other words, eight anchor points making one cube of space.

Now, when you strike an incident on the time track in Dianetics, at the beginning of it you could actually have watched your preclear's reality just fade as you hit it and then start -increase as he put space into it. The only way he could possibly put space back into it again, you were there helping him.

Now, the essence of a technique is that he's making space, but space in brackets. And not - if you can possibly get him over this very early, if his case is bad off, you'll have to just bust in very rudely and tell him, "All right. Now, other people as spirits or thetans and the space for you as a thetan." And he keeps wobbling with this because he keeps sitting in this space as a body and he keeps putting it up for other bodies. The hell with bodies! Let's get earlier. Let's get more natural. Let's not go to the other person through the stage of a body and all that sort of thing. Just get it put up for him as a - as a thetan. Because if you keep doing this with a body, you'll just start melting the body down, and it gets gluier and gluier and gluier. It won't do any harm, but it's just no, no dice. You want it put up for him as a thetan. And you can explain to him what a thetan is, "Your spirit, then."

When people tried to self-audit themselves on this, all these things he just reversed the process and he started taking the space out of them; he's tried to make them explode.

"Oh," he'll say, "my spirit. All right. I'll put it up over here as - so my spirit can..." That's the Christian church, you see? The Christian church tells you that you have to save your soul. And then they call themselves "spiritualists" and "religionists." Very, very amazing. They fix it up so nobody can have a soul. The soul is always a third party - third party to the church and third party to the - for the religious person.

Now get the analogy but, of course, it evaluated the time for him. This thing that had no space in it was 1936-1936, June the 4th or something like that - didn't have any space in it. So, we let some space into it and, of course, he was no longer being the effect of it. But by being the effect of it he also picked up its time tag; so it was 1936! He was the effect of it. Every time he tried to cause anything to happen to it, it simply grabbed some more space off of him because it was a space starvation deposit.

All right. Now, when you run this bracket of six, round and round and round and round and round, you'll notice that your preclear has a tendency to get very philosophical. Now, if you simply shut him off and tell him "No, no, Just don't think about it," and so forth, "just get on with the process," and so on, you will inhibit your communication with him to a degree where he will start going through the process mechanically and it will - it won't stop the process, but it'll take longer.

All right. Let's look at this, now, with this preclear and we find out that he's having trouble with this process. (He is not going to have trouble very long with this process, by the way. You just can take it straight and beat it through one way or the other.) But he goes out of communication with his auditor if it is beaten too hard. The way he goes out of communication with the auditor is by putting in space, space, space; he is unable to put in enough space fast enough that he is sure of in order to get the thing to unfold.

Now, because something happened to him with this process is no reason it won't happen again and that puts this process immediately on the other side of the borderline. The process you've been handling is if it happened to him once, he somehow or other managed to stop it from happening twice. Well, he can't stop this one from happening twice if you just continue to run it because it continues to run out what's happened to him. It runs out itself.

So, what does he do? It's very simple what he does. He - you take the object which he considers cause and put it up as the anchor points. It apparently, then, is shedding space and he is waiting for Aunt Bertha or somebody to put the space back into that engram. He's been waiting, apparently, all these years for somebody to come along and put the space back.

You can do all sorts of things with this. You can put space within space within space within space. And the way you do that is tell him "Now, all right. Now, you got eight anchor points around yourself. Now, put eight more anchor points around that." In other words, space enspacing space. Various tremendous differences - variation. But you don't have to worry about doing that. Just take it in a bracket of six and you've got it - mechanical, very mechanical.

You'll find a preclear saying this sometimes, if you - if you really look closely - they'll - they seldom will tell you, "Well, only Mother could remedy this situation." Well now, you hear that much less seldom because it's on an earlier dynamic than, "Only Christ could remedy this situation." And you hear that quite often. Why? It's that distance out on the inverted dynamics. "Only Christ could forgive me." You hear that continually. What do you mean "forgive you"? Let some space in, of course. See, he could intercede with God, and God owns all space, so we could get some space back into the facsimile or the ridge. This is elementary.

Now you turn around and you use the room he's in or the town he's in as an actual piece of MEST. And instead of him holding the two back corners of the room, you have him hold all eight corners of the room, and then have somebody else hold them, and other people hold them from [for] other people, and then him hold them for somebody else and then somebody else hold them for him - the corners of the room.

So, what do we do with a case that after a few minutes of this processing is apparently... Well, he has gone through Step I, Step II, Step III; what do we do with him? We process him; we're just going to be bound and determined we're going to let some space in rather than some light in - letting light in is sort of a poor technique, really.

And having gone through that bracket of five, you go back to his own and other people's universe in a bracket of six. Then you go back into this five again, and then into this six.

We are going to process him on this technique. Well, let's E-Meter him and let's find out what kind of cause he is certain of. See, what's - what cause is he certain of? What caused his present dilemma? Or who caused his present dilemma? Or what area caused his present dilemma?

Now, sometimes you teach a pilot to fly and he'll learn accidentally to fly with his left wing slightly low. Well, let's not do that on this process, huh? In other words, let's not learn it wrong first and then keep on using it with a slip.

He finally tells you that it was Keokuk - that time he spent in Keokuk. There are a lot of ways to handle Keokuk; Change Processing - bing! bing! bing! - is the best process that you could possibly use on it if you're just simply trying to free up geographical areas. But you're not trying to free up geographical areas with this character. Step III is working poorly on him. You notice that right away; it's working poorly on him. So what do you do?

Terrifically simple process. And I'll give you the patter. Now, we have preclear X - don't anybody run this right now, please - we have preclear X. He's sitting up here... Oh, throw me a preclear from back of the room. You've got a doll around there someplace. Good.

What area caused it? What person caused it? What thing caused it? Just E-Meter him until you can find something that he actually will attribute his demise, decline and so forth to. Well, see if he can't get some certainty on it.

All right. We've got this preclear here. You say to this preclear... You hypnotized or something? We got this preclear and we say, "Okay, put up for yourself eight anchor points." Now, the auditor stays in communication with the preclear.

The funny part of it is, is he very often will got a clear and beautiful picture of it - quite often! Put it up as eight anchor points. Well, you're doing at once Duplication, Spacation and "The reason why." Now, have somebody else put it up - eight anchor points. Boy, he can do that like a shot because he knows everybody else put it up; he never did. And so we work this thing out and we find another thing that caused all this. And we can play this game with him for some time. But we won't play it too long because he'll start slipping. "Who's cause?" That's the game of "The reason why."

Preclear says, "All right, I've done it."

Now, you could assign a play title to every preclear - a play title. I've just given you the - "The Jilted Bride." What is this girl playing? This girl is now seventy-two and so forth; what play is she playing? She is playing the play called "A Jilted Bride." It isn't a fact that there is a finite set of these any more than there's a finite set of stories but everyone of them is playing a story. What story are they playing? That's what they're assigning cause to. At seventy-two, playing "The Jilted Bride," you'd think is rather strange.

And the auditor says, "You did? Where?"

There's a story of that - the old gal who kept running over her marriage that almost came about and didn't come about, and she lived in the old house all by herself, so forth. Well, the technique indicated for this character would simply have been just let's eight-terminal a bridegroom. You would have found a lot of resistance to this as an auditor but she would have done it. The second she did it she would have stopped playing that play. As long as she goes on playing this play, which is a dramatization, it's pretty rough.

"Oh, out there in the next county," or someplace.

Now, a lot of them sink down to sordid levels of plays. A lot of them play "The Stabbed Fetus." You find a lot of people playing this play. You'll find other people playing almost anything you can think of. There's as many games as they can play in this wise as there are titles that you can think of. But look at it that way - a dramatization.

No, the hell with that. "Put up eight anchor points around you."

Somebody, I've forgotten just who it was, and of course, you wouldn't recognize it at all, said, "All the world's a stage." Well now, we're not trying to give you the feeling of a reality like it's all just tinsel and brass and there really isn't any suffering anyplace. Yeah, there's suffering. A lot of people play the game called "suffering" and a lot of them play it very easily and very well. A lot of them play it very convincingly.

"Well, how do I put them?"

If you've ever seen an automobile wreck, you look in there at those mockups - boy, they're really playing the game "suffering" but beautifully. Funny part of it is, is they will start to play this game and then decide all of a sudden they don't want to play it. And they start to play it and then they don't want to play it and then they keep on playing the game of "Well, I started to play but now I don't want to play." And now we're getting into a more central game. Because that game could characterize the game which the preclear's playing. That is the senior play; that one you might say is the basic plot.

"Well, put four above you and four below you.

"Look! I started to play this once and then I didn't want to play it." Remember, they all started to play it once as a game and then they didn't want to play.

"Well, I can't see. How can I put up eight anchor points? What are you talking about anchor points, anyhow? What is an anchor point?"

Well, that's true of an accident. A fellow runs into another car head-on and he - at just a moment there, he - he's going - he's going at the rate of sixty, eighty miles an hour, down the highway, driving madly and if you saw that sparkle in his eye, you'd say here was an accident coming. He wants to play that game called "accident." And then, the next thing you know, he just doesn't want to play it. He stops wanting to play it about a sixteenth of an inch before his skull crashes in on the windshield. If you run it and get the fellow to really evaluate it for you, you'll find out that it was a lot of fun right up to that instant.

"Well, an anchor point is just a point."

Or sometimes, it's the instant of recognition that the game is - that he wanted to play is now going to be played. And he's something on the order of a stage-frightened child who has come out to sing a Christmas carol and all of a sudden doesn't remember any of the words of the Christmas carol but somehow or other just goes right on and sings the Christmas carol, anyhow - this big strain.

"Well, what is a point?"

The - an actor is always, of course, sort of daring the audience to jump over the footlights and eat him all up. Once in a while an audience does. You'll find that the moment when the first foot went over the footlights, he has decided he didn't want to play that game. You see, there you get your departure and arrival of an anchor point between points A and B.

"Well, a point is just a point, you understand?"

Now, "they have to go" is another game that people play and that's a very standard game; "they have to leave." But of course, they can't leave because they can't arrive. You'll see some pcs starting to play this game, "have to leave."

"Well, but what is it?"

"Have to leave." Well, don't take the place they have to leave from. Take the place they think they have to leave to and use it for anchor points. If you can just get them to give you the place they have to go to, well, you can use that for anchor points and they'll put it up very happily. Then you'll inevitably find some horrendous big engram suddenly unfolding as it sucks up this space, but madly.

"Well, you see that cigarette package?"

You know, they have to go to Keokuk. That was the childhood home, the whole thing. You start mocking up Keokuk eight times - well they're practically there. But that Keokuk can't touch them, so it'll stay out there very easily. You see the mechanism: they can't arrive at Keokuk, so if you use Keokuk for anchor points then they won't collapse on them so easily.

"Yeah, all right."

You can rationalize on this any way you want to but the point is, use something of which the preclear is certain if the case isn't moving well.

"You've got this cigarette package? All right, put up eight cigarette packages around you."

Made a clear point there? Make more sense?

"Well, I can't - I can't see. I mean, I'm totally occluded, really. Honest"' The preclear's saying, "I'm actually very occluded and I can't see and can't feel, can't hear very well as a thetan and I can't get out of my body."

Audience: Yeah.

This is, by the way, it's just done when you hit Step III which is what we're doing; we've done Steps I and II on this preclear.

Yeah.

All right. He thinks he's stopped you, see?

You'll find someplace in the lifetime of the preclear, he will tell you, his emotions shut off; and if you want to E-Meter him to that moment and use that for an anchor point, it's a very fast road - very, very fast. That's an express highway. All right. And he'll fold up and start talking about it, though. You don't bother with that, just put him - have him put up that as anchor points for a while.

You say, "Okay now, put up eight black anchor points around you the size of this cigarette package."

Now, let's go into the second stage of this process. You must realize that doing this process on an agile thetan would be something like asking the boy on the flying trapeze to sit on a car seat as a stunt; and it just isn't any stunt. And as he does this drill, these eleven points, he becomes better and better and better and better and he finally can contact the universe quite easily - his own, other people's quite easily. And you'll notice what's happening is the precision with which he is placing his anchor points is the keynote.

Kills him. He's dead now; he's got to do that. So he resigns and he puts up eight of them. He puts them up - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. And you say, "Okay." You say, "All right. Now, put up eight anchor points..." No, no. "Have somebody else put up eight anchor points," you say at this stage. "Have somebody else put up eight. Mock it up, all right."

Now, the precision of placing of anchor points is in itself competence and is in itself responsibility - that's certainty of arrival and certainty of departure.

See, you don't have to run these brackets in sequence. And once in a while, if you'll shift the sequence on a bracket it breaks down his randomity. He's got a monotony on this and he's got a randomity resistance and so he'll start doing something automatically. By the way, he can do this very automatically and it still does terrible things to him. But you can always break down a bracket.

Now, if you were to ask him to put up eight anchor points and then put place A and place B inside that space and ask him to start a particle at A and have it go to B and then go back to A again, why, he - he's very interested. If he were to test this from time to time, he would be able to accurately, more and more and more precisely spot these two points - A and B. And then very precisely make a new particle coincide with A and so travel to B and then go back to A again. That, in essence, is communication. That's all it is. But the greater the precision...

All right. So, he puts up this person out here in front of him or this idea of a person out here in front of him. He says, "I'm still awfully occluded." He says, You've turned on a terrible headache, but I'm still awfully occluded."

Now, you wouldn't think this is any fun doing this. Well, actually it isn't too much fun doing a drill. It's something on the order of practicing swordsmanship just so you can be a good duelist. There's no fun in practicing swordsmanship to amount to anything, but a thousand years or so ago - less than that, six, seven hundred years ago - there was still quite a bit of sport in killing a man in a duel. Well, the great precision with which an individual could place the extended point of a rapier was a delight; it delighted him greatly. You would be surprised at the amount of emotion there is in this kind of competence.

And you say, "Now have that person put up eight anchor points." And he says, "But I - he - he - I can't see ..."

Now, I've talked about killing a man. In this society - the same thing - being able to reach up and catch the football at the exact instant and do exactly with it what one desires and to put oneself and the football at an exact place in the field. One estimates and then places - pam! pam! And there's a terrific exhilaration in this degree of competence. Now you're lifting his degree of competence up. Competence, responsibility - same thing. A man cannot be - cannot be responsible if he cannot geographically place.

"Well, you can have him see them."

The only reason the Navy Department orders officers around from one point or to another, it's trying to convince them that it's responsible when they know it's not. By ordering them around geographically enough, why, the officers become very obedient after a while - by ordering ships around and so forth.

"Well, okay."

You've never seen anything quite as convinced of his own deity as an admiral who has, in his hands, the independent selection and ordering of positions of officers and men and ships. He is very cocky. Now, he knows they'll arrive there; he knows they'll arrive. He'll have somebody shot or court-martialed if they don't, you see. And as he goes along, everything is going fine till one day, some ship has the cast-iron nerve or bronze-coated nerve of busting its propeller and not arriving on schedule. Now, if you've ever seen a little child go into a tantrum and get down on the floor and scream, you have some idea of the seething state of mind of that admiral of the anchor point not arriving at the right place at the right time. "Outrageous!" And then, of course, he starts going down Tone Scale because he finds out that it was all justified and completely reasonable. You see? So, he starts into the cycle which is the declining cycle.

So, you put up these eight anchor points - these eight black anchor points - around this other person. He puts four down here at the feet of this other person and then he puts four up here. As soon as he's got those, he's said, "Sure I've got those."

One is outraged at the anchor point not arriving and then one is baffled by discovering there was a reason why. One is always baffled by the reason why, for the excellent reason that there's no reason why. If this admiral were so darned good, what was he doing making those ships go around with their propellers going? Well, just answer that. Unless, of course, he wanted to limit himself in a game. If he wanted to limit himself in a game, all right; then he also has to take the reason why the ships never arrive.

Now you say to him, “All right. Now get - now you get the other people putting up anchor points for other people, but you're in the middle of those anchor points."

So, the limitation of the game and the reason why are the same thing. The reason why is the boundary on the tennis court. We have agreed that if you put a ball outside that - new service. Actually, it's just a white, lime line; it's nothing. You could move it, you could make it bigger, you could make it smaller, sometimes they do, and that line is the reason why. Why do you have to have a new service? It's because the ball did not fall within that line. That is the "because." What is "because"? "Because" is the necessity to have a limitation in order to have a game.

He says, "How do I do that?"

If you've noticed little kids playing - it's a wonderful place to study this - if you've looked at little kids playing, you'll have found out that the extent of their reasoning on games, where you have several of them involved and there's a little brute force being applied by some of them, is "Why has so-and-so lost?" And the others will just simply stand around and say, "Because. Because." Superior force, that's all. That's all they're trying to say. "Because we've lost, that's all."

"Well, you got some other people over there on the left side of you."

"You have too lost!" You get - this is - this is reasoning. That doesn't exist; there isn't any reason why he lost because in the first place it's all built speciously on the idea that he was dead when he was shot; and he wasn't dead and he explains he wasn't dead and so he couldn't have lost; and they say he is lost because he's dead; and you've already entered more illogic than you need to play the game "MEST universe."

"Okay"

"I - I've lost because I'm dead" or "I've won because I'm dead," is an equally good reason. See, the chaps, for instance, who got killed in the original attack on Quebec - they went up and got their heads blown off. And Montgomery, and so on, and the rest of them under, what was his name - oh, the famous general that won the Revolutionary War for America - who is that fellow? Famous general who won the Revolutionary War. I'm not very good on names here today - Benedict Arnold!

"All right. Now, have them put them up so there's some people over here on the right side of you. Got that?"

Anyway, Benedict Arnold laid around there with the rest of these poor guys that just hadn't won in the fight on Quebec (see, Quebec held out) and the fellows that got killed won. Well, how did they win? Because the rest of them laid around outside of Quebec with the smallpox the rest of winter trying to inoculate each other and having one hell of a time - starving and cold and really rough. And then they had to go back and tell the people back home they had lost the war as far as Quebec was concerned. So, who - who won?

"Okay"

Male voice: The smallpox.

"All right. Now have these people over here on the left side of you put up eight anchor points around you that are really intended for the people that are over there on the right side of you. You got that?"

That's another "because." The smallpox won. That's right.

"Oh yeah, I can do that."

So, what do we have here in the - in reasons underlying this? We have the positioning of anchor points. What is the end - all of responsibility? Being able to position the anchor point.

"Okay." He puts them up again around himself.

What do we mean by "force necessary to"? We mean force necessary to position an anchor point, maintain it or withdraw it. What do we mean "opposing force"? We mean that force which is opposing the withdrawal or advancement or positioning of an anchor point.

Okay. Now, you say, "Have other people put them up for other people in which somebody else gets enclosed."

The only error anybody could ever make if he started to use force, is not to use - is to use not enough force; that's the only error he could make if he had any responsibility or competence of any character Because he would try to position this anchor point at position A and he wouldn't be able to shove it hard enough against the forces at position A to position it at position A.

"Well I don't get that."

You see, taking responsibility for the forces at position A would probably be to warp them in such a line that they would position the anchor point itself. You'd cause a vacuum at position A, and you'd pull in the anchor point. So, you get a terrific variety of games coming out of this. See, that's half responsibility. And how about just taking responsibility and commanding the forces at position A, too? If you did that, there's nothing easier than to simply spread apart the particles at position A and let the particle you're positioning through, exactly, to point A. There's nothing to that.

"Well, come out here in front of you. Come out here in front of you. And have some people out here on your port bow and have these people out here put up anchor points for these people out here. But have this other person be in the middle of them."

You'd be surprised that as elementary as this is, man misses it all the time. He thinks the way to get his point in position A, of course, is just apply enough brute force to shove it into position A. Never occurs to him to take over position A and open it up so the particle would get through and be positioned. If he meets resistance at position A, his (quote) "education" on the track, and so forth, is such that he'll merely keep pushing or he'll not push at all. He hardly ever bothers to withdraw!

"Oh, that's too complex. I can't do that."

After some workman has become completely discouraged about the positioning of his materiel, you'll find his tools on the ground around the point; they leave their tools there; they abandon their points. Now, abandonment of the anchor point is just symptomic [symptomatic] of the baggage, the armor, left on a - the dead left on a losing field.

"Well, can you get an idea of other people being out there?"

This become quite obvious to you why - how we're handling responsibility and what competence is?

"Yes."

Well now, a thetan upscale using this as a game, just as a drill, getting more accurate, getting better perception, so forth, he's just content to do this - just to do that, that's all. Not as a game itself but just as practice. He's content to handle this and he gets faster and faster and he sees that with some satisfaction.

"Can you get the idea that there ever been anybody else out there?"

But your person who is not yet running it as a drill has to have a reason, first, to run the drill. And then later on, of course, doesn't consider it a drill at all but is treating this like it's death itself - really grim; it's a real grim business.

"Yes."

If you've ever seen the face of a - of a V or a VI undergoing processing, you can know how grim life can be - very serious. Well, this is nothing. Laughter requires an explosion; humor requires the ability to explode. Put out anchor points suddenly or retract anchor points suddenly and you can get laughter. It's what laughter is.

"Well, that's all right. That'll do for that step."

All right, let's - let's take a look at what we do with this thetan, though, who's just considering it a drill and after a while gets kind of bored as a drill. Well, it's because the process, as I've laid it out, doesn't happen to be complete enough or involved enough to drill all the capabilities of an Operating Thetan. You notice it's a static process as I've laid it out. And, if you notice, all of these processes are laid out first as a static process and then as a motion process.

"Now, let's you - let's - you, flow, hold on to the upper two back corners of the room without thinking about it."

Step V, as written up in SOP 8, is written up as a relatively static process. Now, you began to examine this and use it as change of geographical location - ping-ping-ping-ping-ping-ping. You found out it was a high-motion process. Well, similarly, the laying out of anchor points become a high-motion process in an Operating Thetan level.

By the way, if he starts thinking, he's actually wrecking the process. He can think this process into a null. It's the only way he can flip it, is start thinking about, "Gee, that reminds me of this and reminds me of that and associative logic and it's all so meaningful, so significant, so significant..." All he's doing is bailing into this space all this terrific amount of garbage; and you're trying to get space and he's trying to fill it up. See how that amounts to?

What you want to do is make them start doing evolutions and change the evolutions: anchor points in motion - starting, stopping, changing the motion of the anchor points; varying and making complex the patterns of space; interweaving the anchor points; having enough viewpoints to run several series of evolving anchor points; making anchor points run anchor points.

So you say, "Well, all right. Now get in the back of your head here, someplace - you - just kind of get the idea of holding on to those two back corners of the room. You got that? All right, hold on to the rest of the corners of the room. Well, you got that? Okay. Well, you don't get that very plainly. Oh, you want to know what they look like? Well, you'll find out sooner or later. Oh, you want to take a look? Well, all right, take a look. Okay. You got ahold of them, now?"

Now, automaticity actually concerns itself with starting an anchor point in motion and keeping the anchor point running - circle or a figure eight or something. Now it, after that, is going to keep on traveling that way, you say. And then you - people want to know why do you want to keep on - travel that way. Well, you have to limit the restriction, then you have to say, "Well, there's something down there which needs to have a beacon" or you have to have some kind of a limitation why that anchor point should go on this way. Actually, there's no reason why it should go on that way at all, except that it's fun to watch the anchor point doing this. It's motion.

"Yeah, yeah. I've got ahold of them."

TBD So, the next thing we must do with - on an Operating Thetan level is to get complexity of pattern and motion. A thetan should be able to make these anchor points go out with great rapidity, come in with great rapidity. Two sets of space - one coming in and one going out and interchanging with great rapidity. All of this and to be able to operate with a number of viewpoints watching a number of things operating in a number of different ways. And you've started to get up someplace toward the ability of the thetan to be complex. But this is what you exercise him at.

"Okay. Now, have somebody else take ahold of them and hold them there."

Now, one of the things you want him to do, if you're exercising somebody, is outside of the elementary things of making spaces expand and contract while doing this whole bracket of eleven - you'd start this, by the way, on the MEST universe itself If your thetan is very good, you'd start hearing things creak if he starts running anchor points in the room expanding and contracting.

"Okay. My father. Yes, I often remember my father used to ..."

You're going to get, as a result of this, quite a test on your own ability, as a thetan, to be sufficiently complex to actually drill this other being on up. You see? See how we - we'd have to get pretty complex. Or we simply consult him as to what should we do next, what kind of a series or evolution should we go into; and then you do the opposite. He says, "Well, I think we ought to practice up with all of these brackets going simultaneously and contracting."

"No, just a minute, just a minute. Just you have - have somebody else hold on to them. Is it all right?"

And you say, "That's fine. Let's do that. And now let's have all these brackets going simultaneously with the brackets outside of these brackets going simultaneously, but that second set expanding at the same time."

"Okay."

Always make it more complex, not less, as far as he's concerned. You'll actually realize, then, why two thetans fooling around and so forth, start a universe or start some kind of an operation which grows successively complex. In order to stay interested it has to become increasingly complex.

"Now; what about getting other people to hold on to them for somebody else?"

The simple things of life are so neglected, at last, and so forgotten that after a couple have been drilled this way and then they have gone through and done a lot of worthwhile things this way, and they've caved in and had a lot of things explode on them this way, it probably wouldn't occur to either of them, unless it was on a billboard or on - written on Rush Memorial or something of this sort, what the basic drill was: viewpoint of dimension, of course.

"Sure. Well, that's always me and my brother! You know we used to fight like mad," and so forth.

How many viewpoints of dimension can he get? Is it enough to just run the anchor points? No, it sure isn't. Let's run viewpoints within the spaces as more important than complexity of spaces. Let's get lots of viewpoints. This will immediately start baffling your preclear.

"That's terribly interesting. Your brother lived a long time, I'm sure he is, right? Okay? That's fine. Now, you got somebody else holding on to them for somebody else?"

How does he get enough viewpoints inside there? Just keep asking for them. Because he gets a jumbled view after a while; these things start mixing. Well, you'd better drill him up by a gradient scale; make him use two viewpoints, each one equally well, simultaneously, with two different patterns of automaticity going on simultaneously. And you've taught him how to make life units which is, in essence, a life unit.

"Oh, I forgot about that. I was disturbed there for a moment." Okay. Now we're holding on to them.

Now, all sorts of weird and strange and complex things will show up as he does this, and all sorts of ridges will blow. There's no reason to pay much attention to them.

"Well, how long am I supposed to do this?" the preclear says.

The one thing you will pay attention to is the sudden nothingnesses that begin to show up around him. Every once in a while you will have him up to a certain point, "Oh, he's doing fine; everybody knows he's doing fine. He's so happy he's doing fine." And then he finds out he has 185 lines attached to him, personally. These just never seemed to get into view before. And there's various things you can do with them, such as throw them away, and so forth. Various things you can do.

"Well you just - just do it."

All kinds of nothingnesses will suddenly, just suddenly, show up as having something in them. Why? It's just because you're adding space adding space, adding space, adding space.

"Well how long though?"

Do you follow this? The complexity of drill, the complexity of drill should hit... It's easy for you and you will think of - start thinking immediately in terms of more anchor points for this preclear when you're running an Operating Thetan. Nuh-uh! More viewpoints for these anchor points is the way you should be thinking. You get what a difference this would make in processing?

"Well, just do it."

Now, there's another little trick I should tell you about in straightening up the body because you don't want to run space processing too much around the body. You won't kill it off or anything of the sort but you start running much of it, it gets kind of gooey. A lot of things happen. You let too much space into the wrong spaces and so forth, so that - that's not too good. So we have line handling by the thetan as a very favored technique or energy-deposit handling.

"Well, how long am I really supposed to hold on to these anchor points of other people holding them on to for other people?"

Now, as you start to handle these things he'll start to get gaps that he has to fill in and that is to say, actual physical geographical locations. As you throw away lines off the body, remember that you are interfering with the havingness of a thetan.

Doesn't like that - butchery. You've hit something hot, see. When he starts protesting about how long he's doing it and so forth, just plow it to him. Don't even think about it. Don't even talk about it. Just make him do it.

As you get rid of ridges you are upsetting the havingness balance of the thetan. He now has less energy than before - torn all these lines off and all these ridges off and everything - he now has less energy than before, unless, as you're drilling him, you'd throw it to him occasionally that he should restore the energy amount. You don't want this same kind of energy that you had before. Let's get a better energy - a bit smoother energy; you've aligned it. So, you want to put fresh new energy in there and pack it down real good and make a good ridge where you took out a ridge. You've taken out an aberrative ridge and you've simply put in an energy ridge. Well, remember that this is - this is very easy.

If left to his own devices at that point he would simply quit the process and say, "There is a process. It's undoubtedly a good process and I'll have to run it sometime."

Now, there's a basic process on doing this which might escape your eye unless you were quite alert as a thetan. Any thetan I think would run into this sooner or later. Have him look for black spots or unseen spots or something around his body. This is very basic, very elementary. It's so elementary that I forgot to mention it. I actually have just forgotten to mention it until it suddenly came up here in the last twenty-four hours under another more complex guise. And there's no sense in it being very complex.

All right, So we've got to make sure that any time he gets real interested in not doing it, that he does it. We can do this very persuasively and very quietly, We don't have to hit him over the head with a chair but be prepared to do the latter if he won't. Okay.

But you can send an energy patch to almost anybody. That is to say, you can hang them onto almost anybody. It's ruinous if you really want to start in doing this. But a lot of preclears go around, they have a tremendous impulse to pick up the energy and ridges of other people; they - they're hungry. They'll steal people's ridges. This is the basis of vampirism and so on. They actually will steal a ridge.

Now we've got this person again and we say, "All right. Now put up eight anchor points around for yourself."

All right. Any energy deposit of a body that is black has all the same a sign on it which says "not mine." It also says "effect." It also says "I'm not cause. Also says "no responsibility for this area; somebody else's." Now, you see how nicely this ties in with Anchor Point Processing. At the same time what do you do with those things?

"Oh, you mean hold on to the corners of the room for myself again?"

You just ask the preclear to get back and take a good look at his body and see if he finds any black patches. "Who does it belong to?" you say.

"No, no just put up your own little space for yourself. Okay. Now what have you got there?" Well, here's what he's got. Body, eight anchor points.

"Well," he says, "it belongs to Papa," or "it belongs to the teacher," or "it belongs to somebody or other," and sometimes he can't quite tell and he'll look at it very closely and he'll finally get to the idea that it belongs to so-and-so. You just tell him to send it back. And they'll really go wham!

"Now, you put those up..." This is the second time around. "You put those up for you as though you were a spirit and the body had nothing to do with it."

And very often your thetan becomes concerned and simply asks you in so many words - pardon me, your preclear becomes so concerned he asks you "Please duck," or "It would go right through you if I let it go," and he will restrain it - something like that. It's about the only trouble he ever has. But this material really leaves on a lot of preclears. It really leaves! It is a tearing fury! It gets gone quick. Something for you to remember It just says, "Not mine. Not my space."

"Well, I can get that idea. I've read a couple of books. I know what you were telling people the other night and so on. Seems sort of unbelievable, but..."

Now, what about a preclear that is occluded? As a thetan he's not his - simple, isn't it? His whole beingness belongs to somebody else.

You say, "Will you please get that as a spirit?"

Now, I'll give you a method of artificially occluding a preclear: Ask him to put up eight very, very heavy anchor points and pull them in on himself suddenly; put eight anchor points around him and pull them in on himself suddenly. He'll blow; he'll occlude. His visio at the moment you do this will be practically identical with any black visio you've ever seen. How do you ask him to remedy this? You have him put up eight black anchor points very, very heavy and yank them in on him; ask him to do it several times, that's all. His visio will suddenly clear and clean up again. Basic mechanism of occlusion: black anchor points which is somebody else's; but that's just by definition.

"Okay."

There's no reason in the world why you can't have a black deposit of energy which belongs to you and which you say is causing something. We don't have to limit this game. See? I mean, there's no reason why you can't do that. It just happens that the game has been played in the past that way. So, therefore, these processes work

"Now you got it? What's the matter?" Silence.

Blackness had always meant somebody else's or what's the significance and so forth. Well, that's just the definition of blackness. Blackness could just as well and does mean knowledge, in other words, ink. Ink is knowledge in this society. If you just drink enough ink, why, you're tops in this society - as a thetan, of course.

You can fully expect that to happen. The guy's done a bunk! He had an argument on the situation. Now you can expect that to happen anytime in this process. But don't expect it to happen as a sudden phenomenon, I'm merely informing you that it will occasionally happen as one. It'll happen usually as a very orderly and routine phenomenon - just routine.

All right, we have some indicated drills and processes here, now, as an expansion and enlargement of exactly what we've been talking about. And I want the - the auditors who have been doing the auditing, now to get some auditing themselves for the remainder of the afternoon.

So, he puts up these for himself. And then he puts them up again, as we went over it the first time. Has somebody else put them up - eight points out there around this other person. And then we have other people put them up for other people with the preclear inside the points. And then this other person - other people put them up for other people with this other person inside the points. But each time we're steering him just a little bit closer to this idea of a spirit. See, we don't give it to him that time. We don't give him the double whamnzo on his own universe. We give it to him on this one.

That concludes this lecture but not the assignments.

"Now get yourself as a being, you know, as a being without a body, holding on to the eight corners of the room."

"Well, I will, but it doesn't seem very real."

"I don't care how real it is, just hold on to them. Now, get somebody else, as though he were a spirit, holding on to the corner of the room."

Now, you hold the preclear's head on at that moment if you're real smart. Because the sudden idea that some other spirit might be in the room, something of the sort, is liable to just plain murder him.

If your preclear is really skittish - really skittish and real scared about things - what you would do is run this all the way around being very quiet about spirits for some time, and you'd sure run "making space for other spirits, other beings," and let him hold that for a little while, because he'll get in - very philosophical about whether he ought to go on with this or not or whether you're really doing anything real good or not, or why you probably should take it very easy about this whole thing, because he is not willing to let other spirits go free. He's all right to let bodies go free. That's different. Spirits are dangerous. Bodies aren't.

So, we have him and other people, as spirits, hold on to the eight corners of the room for other spirits. Now, if he objects to the word spirit (it's just a word; it's a communication symbol), shift it around, call them thetans. If he objects to the word thetan, call them ghosts. If he objects to the word ghost, call them life units. You know, if you have a scientist, you can always say life units. Sounds so scientific. All right.

He goes through that again. And now we. say, "All right. Now get you, as a spirit, holding eight anchor points around yourself. You got that? What color do you say they are? Oh, they're gold. Well, that's right. That's perfectly correct. They ought to be. All right. Now, let's get eight - somebody else as a spirit holding eight anchor points around him, got that?"

"Yes."

"All right. Now get some spirits holding eight anchor points for some other spirits, but you're in the middle of them."

"Middle of the spirits?"

"No, in the middle of the anchor points - middle of the anchor points."

"Oh, in the anchor points. That's all right, then."

"And now we get other people - other people holding eight anchor points up for other - other beings holding eight anchor points out here for some entirely different beings but somebody else in the middle of the anchor points."

"Oh, sure."

"Okay, Now have you, as a spirit, put up eight anchor points for other thetans."

"Mm-mm." He won't like that, so you let him hold that one for a while.

"But, now get other spirits - other thetans - putting up eight anchor points for you." He won't like that very good either but he'll let it happen.

And we go around through the walls of the room again and so forth. Very shortly you're going to have to take in bigger space. You better be - hold on a couple of planets or something of the sort; it's easier. The other is kind of crowded. But eventually you can come back to making him do a spacation beautifully in a matchbox with perfect comfort and ease.

You see, that's a symptom of dispersal, the idea of having to occupy the whole flam-bam universe just to get some distance. That's why I talked about it on that line as people find it so very agreeable to hold on to planets. But you can do a spacation in a matchbox or in a small microphone or in a tube. Of course, if you start doing it in an electronic tube and the machine's in use, it's liable to short-circuit. But anyway...

We have this preclear now to a point where he's getting, at least at this point, he's getting yank-ins and outs or some such thing. He's getting these tensional snap-lines and things like that. And it may be - it may be that some terrifically terrific thought has occurred to him. You suddenly find out that he has spent a year in prison. Well, believe me, that is the state fixing his space. Or even worse, he's been in the navy for a year or so, or he's been in the army.

It's not stepping out of line at all to vary the process at the moment he discloses this - or that he has sent somebody to prison, is what will turn up immediately after this, by the way, or he's done something to somebody. It's the overt act-motivator sequence. You're just getting space. It varies the procedure to have him put up some army hats or some navy hats or something of the sort as his next anchor points. It just varies it, you understand. It isn't good, it's just different. Just plain anchor points is always best because the more you let him think and the more you let him put up objects which are in terms of his immediate environment and this immediate culture, the more you're making him agree that the culture can affect him. So, you just have him put up anchor points. Well, you just go over it that way. I mean, just go round and round - just round and round - a bracket of six.

Now what questions are there on this?

Female voice: You don't have somebody putting up anchor points for the person they were intended for. That is, having a third person for whom the anchor points were intended be in that space at all?

You can. You can vary it any way you want to. There is no significance to this beyond the fact that you've gotten the various combinations of thought and interpersonal relations and you're untangling them. The problem is essentially, one, the problem of co-ownership of MEST. You're trying to get the preclear up so he doesn't care who owns that stuff. He can use it for anchor points. You're booting him out of secrecy, hiding, protection, ownership, being dead, being invisible, all of these various things. You're just booting him right on up the line. That's why this is a terribly dangerous process and why I'm a very dangerous man to have released such a process.

You just keep this up. How many hours will it take? Well, on you I would say - on any case that's hanging fire around here - I'd say twenty or thirty hours of this, maybe fifty or sixty, maybe eighty, ninety, a hundred hours, or something like that, because of the case's time estimate having been processed for a long time on older techniques. Somebody who just walks in off the street, I'd say about five, ten to twenty minutes - case equally rough.

And the other thing is, is a fellow can enjoy the hell out of this, by the way, First moment he sees some beautiful anchor points and Saint Elmo's fire glowing off the roofs of houses and lighting up the surrounding countryside and so on, he gets just real happy about it.

I told you yesterday that you made MEST by pulling the affinity out of mass and energy, And therefore, you blow it up again by just adding some affinity to it. What is this stuff you're building automobiles out of and using for automobiles and wearing as clothes? What is this stuff that you're combing and - what is this stuff?

Well, this process shows a fellow rather rapidly what stuff it is. It's just facsimiles gotten real hard. He eventually gets the idea, he eventually comes up the line and we can forecast this for you because you'll be running it yourself very shortly, but it's very amusing. When I first tripped into this level and just started applying basic definition of space to processing itself, as processing and I'd ask somebody to start this on the MEST universe and he'd come on up Tone Scale with great rapidity. "Gee," he says. "Yeah," he says, "it's a lot of work building this stuff" he says, "but you sure can enjoy it after you've got it. Yeah, a lot of work." Level of concern about the MEST universe.

Of course, the idea that he's still got these particles around which have been made in the past, that doesn't upset him any, I mean, he might as well use secondhand anchor points as new anchor points. So what! Thirdhand anchor points, twelfthhand anchor points. Repair them if you want to. Work with them if you want to. If you don't have something to exert energy against, you're fighting nothing.

Have I closed circuit on what I'm teaching you?

If you get a guy to fighting nothing all the time, if he's just putting out his own anchor points all the time, all he can fight is his own anchor points. But if he's got something around there that is co-owned, somehow or another, he can at least satisfactorily, and rather pleasantly, lean up against it and get a nice hard shove back that often surprises him a great deal.

Now, it's up to you to know what this stuff is and it's up to you to use this technique.

Now, I'm wasting auditing by not taking our rougher cases and going over them but there isn't much reason why I should. Because we're up at a level there where this technique doesn't get spoiled except as you might, as an auditor completely bust up with a preclear so badly that you drive the preclear out of communication entirely. That's about the only thing you could do because this keeps undoing these various things that are done with great speed. How fast does this blow a lifetime? Well, that's up to you to find that out. Just too fast actually. You've gone to all this work living all this horrible life and collect all this beautiful sadness. Just start putting up Spacation in brackets of six - gone!

Oh, so you have to mock it all up again. You realize that you could have mocked up a much better life in the first place and that makes you feel very happy about the whole thing. And then, everybody knowing this technique knows you've probably mocked up the past you're talking about and so forth, and knows you probably aren't using the other because you had this technique used on you and probably you don't have the other and it's not true and it's not real, so they probably won't listen to you. So they probably don't have any sense of aesthetic anyway.

Boy, if you can get a thetan to communicate with a thetan in the lower stages of processing, you're really doing wonders. People say, once in a while - once in a while in a lecture, somebody will say to me, "Well, why don't you just talk to us on theta beams?" Somebody who's real mystic, you know; telepathy on the brain. Boy, if you can get any thetan after he's been exteriorized who hasn't had such a process as this run on him, such as making space for others, hrrr-murder! You haven't had this process run on him - just about as much as get him to listen to you as you'd get a bullet to stop in midflight and come back and load itself. They just don't hang around.

Now, in using this process, you can flub it any way you want to and it'll still pick itself up again. But you're into the over-the-border case - the process which lets itself be repeated. Those beautiful gold anchor points - once a fellow has seen those he'll give up an awful lot of beautiful sadness and motivator hunger just to have them again. They're really nice, nice; Saint Elmo's fire glowing all over everything.

I've seen a preclear sit after I'd run this process on him, just sit and sit and do nothing but put it on top of lampposts and out in the street and put it on top of things. And he isn't actually in his body anymore, he gets so interested in doing this. He's just fooling around. It's sort of - he's reassuring himself "My God, it can happen after all these years”.

Okay. Any questions about this again? I've presented it to you rather lengthily, rather discursively. One of the reasons I've done that is so you won't use it as a completely automatic process and so you can expect things to happen to personalities. Because they will.

Male voice: Uh....

What?

Male voice: Just one question.

Right.

Male voice: This is a Step III process?

This is Step III. After you've done it for a while, you simply flip back to Step I, and let's go again.

Male voice: But you wouldn't use it on...

It's very surprising to find a fellow very often is already exteriorized before you got him to Step I.

Male voice: You wouldn't use it on a lower-step case?

Hm?

Male voice: You wouldn't use it on a lower-step case?

Than III? Yes. Yeah, I'd use it all the way through. I said - this is any one of these doggone Processes - you just keep nagging the fellow, plus and minus, long enough to get out of your head.

You know, you don't realize that we're classified normally as - processing is some second cousin to therapy, you see; so we don't thoroughly appreciate the fact that this really isn't therapy we're doing. We're working with life. This is living we're doing. We're looking over the business of living and trying to take a deep breath right here in midflight down the time track, trying to discover whether or not there isn't something more to be known than what we've been doing. And you can actually exteriorize any case, including a psychotic case, merely by telling him to get out of a head. That's all you have to do, is just tell somebody to be out of his head or tell somebody not to be out of his head. You can do it right straight up. It - you see, it's this society that gives you the limitation.

When I say that - when I say that, a Roman would understand this immediately, You can always get a guy out of his head, not necessarily by killing him. A Roman would say, probably, "Why, gee, you wouldn't even have to kill the tough case sometimes. Just be reasonable to him."

You take anybody and shoot him in the arm with a hypo needle and tell him to leave and he'll go. Just lean over an unconscious man and so forth and say, "How about you - how about you going out and finding a baby in Arizona?" You'd have a dead body on your hands. They were that close. Many a doctor has sent his nurse for an instrument and the thetan has departed and the body died on the operating table. See what's basically haywire with engrams? See?

"Go down in the next block and get me a paper." If - see - if he just said go down the next block or go into the next room or something like that forcefully enough to a thetan that thinks it ought to be obedient when it's anesthesed, why, you'd get results, you see? I mean, you're really handling dynamite.

There's nothing easier than to hypnotize somebody and say, "All right, now be in Philadelphia. Now be in the city hall. Are you in the city hall? Very good. Grab a hold of the mayor's head. You've got his head? Now, give him a terrible headache. You've done that? That's very good. Now be back in your body, 3-2-1 wake up."

And this is very elementary stuff we're playing with. I mean, these things happen. These are the routine. But people can't dare - don't dare look at that routine at any time. It's too simple. Really spoil the game like mad. Well, how would you have the game "army or army air force" being run on Earth, if all the political problems of Earth were simply solved by one guy in a government office with dirty shirt sleeves, or something of the sort, who merely did a little hypnotizing of young boys that he picked up down at the orphanage, and they went over and put all the political opponents of the nation into a frame of mind necessary to resolve all the problems of the international situation? And yet you could do that, you see, but you'd just spoil that game "army," You'd spoil the game "taxpayer," too. Now, all of those problems would get spoiled.

Well, all right. You very well may, as you run this process, you. I told you in advance that you can be fully prepared to run it on somebody in this unit here much longer than you'd run it on somebody off the street. Not that the cases are resistive because the fellow is here with a different idea. He wants to see what's happening! Your task is to make it happen to him not to something which he mocks up so he can inspect it, so that he can study it and know more about it.

So, let's just get busy and I'm it's probably premature of me to push this process through like this for the good reason that I don't have to get out and scrounge up some preclears. I think that possibly I'll do something on polio. You think I ought to do something on polio? Would you like to see a few cases suddenly walk again or something like that? Okay, I'll do something about that today.

That's the end of the talk.
