A lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello.

I want to wish you a happy AD 11. Happy New Year!

Audience: Hello.

Okay. It's about time you woke up after that horrible evening you had last night.

Imagine finding you here. You're going to get the idea that this congress is full of gimmicks. Well, it's just today that's gimmick day. You get no further gimmicks after today. Boy, what you will watch out for tomorrow.

Well, I have good news for you today; very, very good news for you today. We're going to talk about practically nothing but technical all afternoon: Your case and you. God help you now.

This happy sound here. You hear it?

But that's all right. You may even survive these lectures. There are cases which have been known to survive these lectures. That's right. That's right.

Audience: No.

We have – we have several people who have.

You didn't hear it. Well, it's just bubbling away merrily. You can hear this one.

Now, there's probably a lot of things I could tell you. One of the things I could tell you is that if you want to get a Professional Auditor's Certificate, you'd better enroll in the Academy this week because it is about to disappear as an Academy course. We're about to teach a Practical Scientology course which is the same as the old Professional course, but you don't get the certificate.

You see this thing? This is an electrostatic… Pretty good, huh? This is a skull. We were afraid he'd get his ears cold.

After you've gone through the standard course to a course completion certificate for Practical Scientologist, you then begin to study Scientology. And when we think you are ready for it, and when we think you can run a Central Organization, and when we think you can clear cases, and when we think a lot of other things, you might get a certificate if you're nice.

This lecture is simply indicative, no more and no less, than the fact that the natural sciences, the physical sciences, are the basic sciences from which Dianetics and Scientology comes. And in this one hour I am going to show you the bones of a twenty-lecture course called the Anatomy of the Human Mind. I'm just going to give you a light pass over and show you what this type of course is all about because this course is going to be very important to you here and there, throughout the world.

That's a change, isn't it?

Therefore, I feel that you should know something about this course and that you should get some sort of an insight into it.

That lets everybody have auditing in lieu of training, and they can go – oh, nobody got that joke. Please wake up!

Something new has happened. Something brand-new has happened. Many brand-new things have happened, but this particular brand-new thing is this: The world of the mind formerly belonged totally to the figure-figure of philosophy. It was owned property of the field of philosophy. It was the boys in the ivory tower who never went down and sweat and stunk in life who figured it all out. So, of course, they made very little progress.

A lot of people enroll in the Academy just to get processed. Got it?

Now I'm not that one – kind of fellows. It's sometimes a shock to you that I am not one of these ivory tower characters. I'm not trying to tell you I have lived. But I am telling you that I have been down with the troops in the trenches.

Audience: Yes.

Life, life has to do with livingness. It doesn't have to do with figure-figure. Life has to do with environment. It has to do with beingnesses and doingnesses and havingnesses, and it's not the high and lofty thing of a big – a big – oh, read Spinoza. Read Spinoza. Oooh. Anybody who ever did otherwise than go nuts on such fare, was lucky.

Hey, what the hell is this? An English audience?

Let me tell you. Life is life. Life is livingness and there are things with regard to life. And you want to know what is new about Dianetics and Scientology and what very, very, few people, except the old-timers in this field, fail to grasp is that Dianetics and Scientology is as demonstrable as a foot rule.

Now anyway, the exact line-up because of the new PE Foundation setups and the expansion of Central Organizations and a lot of other things, it isn't wise to go on teaching a Professional Auditor Course at an 8-week level because tremendous numbers of people want this course just for its information. And you will be able to enroll tremendous numbers of people in a practical Scientology course and it can be taught by any Central Organization.

Now there were many attacks upon the field of the humanities and the human mind. Many, many attacks from the field of the natural sciences. These began in the days of Newton. They tried to take Newton's three laws of motion and apply them to human livingness.

But after this, we're going to have to be awfully choosy about auditors, believe me.

There were several activities in that regard some hundreds of years ago. If you want to know more about them, read up on it in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. There are several remarks in the Encyclopaedia Britannica of trying to apply Newton's laws of motion to livingness in order to get a direct result. These failed. These efforts failed. They didn't get anything coordinative. I don't know how they missed, but they didn't.

And so an auditor who doesn't know a Central Organization would be a lost dog, and he'd have to be pulled into a Central Organization and trained and groomed and have to retake all the weeks that he – the Instructor in the Academy, you see, said, "Yes, you – you passed. You're through." And then he comes back for his certificate, you see. He's now decided – at a very small extra cost, you see, very small – he comes back and he says, "Well, I think I want to be a professional auditor."

And as time went on, there has not been one natural scientist, not one physicist of any note, who has not tried to enter the field of the humanities.

All is changed. And the Instructor, the Academy Administrator goes down the list, and he says, "Well, you flunked week 2, week 5, week 7, you flunked your examination on the Axioms. Now, when you retake those, we can talk some more."

What we are doing is not new. The effort and intention is not new. That it has come to fruition in terms of success is new and is the first time that any success has been obtained in this field.

You get the idea? We intend to be real rough on a professional level and let lots of people know all there is to know about Scientology. That's a new policy. And after this week, it'll be in effect in Washington. It's your last chance to get a certificate easy.

You'll find that a fellow by the name of Sir James Jeans wrote endlessly on this subject. He tried to enter the field of life from the field of the natural sciences. He felt that there ought to be something in the field of livingness as precise as we already had in the field of physics.

Not trying to sell you certificates, I'm just giving you warning.

The reason natural scientists tried to do this is they felt an enormous impatience with the wiggle-waggle, figure-figure, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work of the humanities. They had a tremendous impatience for the impositive character of knowledge which existed in the fields of the past for the humanities.

Now, we're getting cases off the bottom. We're scraping them from below bottom. We move them up through the negative gain stages to a point where they're at the bottom. There's a tremendous number of changes have taken place.

You see how this could be. A natural scientist has the idea that a mountain exists or it doesn't exist. And it isn't dependent on anybody's opinion whether it exists or doesn't exist. A mountain is or a mountain isn't. And where were we in the field of the human mind? A fellow was nuts or was he nuts? There was nothing positive about it, you see?

Let me start in at the beginning and tell you how auditing sets up these days.

Anybody could make capital out of it. There isn't a person in this audience who hasn't at one time or another been called insane. Not one of you. That's right, isn't it?

There are two distinct classes of auditing. Two distinct classes.

Somebody, some time or another has said you were crazy. On what evidence? On what evidence? And by the way, if you're still oppressed by the subject, I think you're sane.

For the last ten or eleven years, I'm the only one who has been able to do Class II, but that doesn't say it doesn't exist.

Now, if an engineer has to pass a railroad from point A to point B, when he finishes his task, he either has a railroad from point A to point B or he doesn't have a railroad from point A to point B. That's all there is to it. He either has it or he doesn't have it. And nobody can come along and give his opinion on whether or not he has it. You get the idea?

I've been able to teach a very few auditors here and there a few of the tricks of Class II auditing. Very few. But it still exists and is a class of auditing. It would turn Mr. Sigmund Freud around in his grave like a whirling dervish and paint him a bright green with envy. You can do a five-year psychoanalysis in an afternoon. That's Dianetics. Did you ever hear of it? So we exhume that from its grave and it exists again. And it had better exist because you're the first time for a long while going to be facing the raw public. You'd be surprised what happens in Central Organizations. They've all gotten down to a point where it's a big club, see? And we know everybody and we know all their withholds, and why their cases didn't advance, and who they knew and didn't know, and so on.

Audience: Yes.

Well that's great.

This is very different than the way they were feeling and working in the field of the human mind.

Well, that club still exists. It's not being wiped out by a long way. It still exists, and it'll get bigger. But we're going to start handling the raw public. Raw meat.

All right. What we have done that is spectacular is to make a complete breakthrough in the field of the human mind, taking the predictable, practical character of the physical sciences and moving them over into the humanities. And that is what has happened in Dianetics and Scientology. You can argue with it for years and it still exists that we have made the breakthrough.

They walk off the street and feel through the door, you know, and they say, "I have nightmares every night."

We can change IQ. We can change personality. We can alter and handle human interpersonal relations on a highly positive basis. The degree that we can handle them actually is the degree that we are experienced and able in the fields of Dianetics and Scientology because Dianetics and Scientology has the answers.

They don't say, "What's Scientology?" We just assume suddenly that we're the total monopoly in the field of psychotherapy throughout the world. We don't bother to explain to them what we're doing. We do it.

Now, that's a new look. Even to some old-timers, that's a new look.

This gets on some Central Organization's nerves. And you want to see a Central Organization the first time it starts facing nothing but raw meat off the street.

There are twenty items in Dianetics and Scientology that have nothing to do with figure-figure. Twenty separate items which are as solid as one of these test tubes. Twenty separate, different items are included in Dianetics and Scientology which form the backbone of this new lecture series: The Anatomy of the Human Mind Course. I haven't even written up the course yet. However, it's being given in Joburg and it is fantastically successful. Guys are just walking in off the street, never knew anything about anything, and the Instructor there, giving one – they come in any part of the course, you see? And the Instructor gives this lecture right according to a formula, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Shows them the item and then makes them find it in one another and then has a discussion period, and that is the whole thing.

They didn't know cases could be that low. You've got to be able to do a five-year psychoanalysis in an afternoon. Otherwise, you can't get the fellow to sit in the chair.

And these people are going, wow, you know?

Today Dianetics is done with an E-Meter. You takes your E-Meter, and the pc takes his chance. You can clear up a neurosis, a psychosis, something like that, in a relatively few hours.

Why are they going wow? It's because they're not expected to sit there and figure-figure about it. Here is a thing, a concrete thing, and it can be demonstrated to them that it exists independent of opinion.

Now, in view of the fact that the target of Scientology is not a neurosis or psychosis, we've never paid much attention to this particular field. But it still exists as a class of auditing. And we mustn't forget that it does because it ends psychotherapy as an end of cycle. You think I'm kidding.

And existing independent of opinion, it therefore and thereby becomes as exact and accurate as the physical sciences. And there is our breakthrough. We have a practical subject that has nothing to do with anybody's beliefs.

There are many items which aren't immediately and directly hit by Scientology auditing. In other words, you don't take the fellow's goals and immediately translate them into accomplishment the way you sometimes did in Dianetics, you know? Bang! You know?

Every once in a while I am accused of romping fantastically and meanly and viciously over people's personal beliefs. Well, you'll find out that I really don't try to. I don't try to stamp all over their personal beliefs. I only ask them to realize I have mine.

You work on him, you increase his reality, you make him more and more capable of understanding and living in the real universe around him. You don't pay too much attention to what is wrong with him. You find out what is right with him and you improve that ability.

Look, today people aren't arrested for murder. The country's full of murderers who have never been caught. People are arrested and tried today for behavior. Is their behavior peculiar or isn't it? Does it agree with the norm or doesn't it?

Well, out in the raw public, the bulk of the cases have something so wrong with them that there is no ability to improve. So that end of the angle had better be known and had better be known right well.

Do you realize that that great un-American activity called the US government has as a basic rule that in times of national disaster, such as an atomic bombing, if they find anybody who was trying to do anything about the situation, he is to be arrested at once! Did you know they had that rule? Well, read their schoolbooks. Read civil defense books.

A girl comes in and she has a terrible fear of husbands, and she's so afraid of husbands that she can't even sit in the auditing chair.

If anybody is trying to do anything or is being active, he is therefore being dangerous. Did you know that? That's behavior; policing of behavior. It'll get to a point finally that if you have a belief or if you behave in a certain way – they used to call them eccentrics, now they call them crazy.

Well, your best bet is to cure her of this neurosis because it's a neurosis. She's got a win now, and she can go on from there. It's an incidental activity, but it's quite valuable. Now, Dianetics can do that.

You're getting to a point where you don't dare relax because behavior is being policed; because nobody has an idea of what right behavior is or what wrong behavior is. Somebody gets an opinion that something is wrong behavior and that's what's policed. This country, by the way, is one of the great sinners on the idea of trying people in public opinion. They throw it into the newspapers, and the guy's done. He's not tried in courts. He's tried by public opinion. That's policing of behavior.

Dianetics is yesteryear, way back when, but it's still very valuable, and with what we know about the E-Meter today, it becomes extremely valuable.

But do they find out if the fellow who are policing him are sane or insane; if these people themselves are psychotically attacking or are psychotically critical or anything? Do they ever find out about these fellows? No. Because they don't know anything about that field.

HCO Secretary a short time ago said, down in Johannesburg, says, "Well, I don't know. There's one thing that nobody's ever got to. I have a terrible fear of snakes."

Now look, for a people to be free, they must be free to behave as they think proper, so long as that behavior is not injurious to the – a greater number of the dynamics. You got the idea?

We were sitting in the living room of my house down there, and a couple of guys were sitting there. I didn't even use an E-Meter.

As soon as they tell you that this is wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong and that's wrong, ask them sometime, "Well, what's right?" and stop them in their tracks.

Ran her back down the track, found the engram necessary to resolve the case and ran the engram. Twenty minutes later, she had no further fear of snakes and hasn't had since. What's this? A twenty minute run of an engram? Did anybody blink or did they think they heard wrong?

No, when the whole of the humanities gets summed up into this figure-figure thing called behavior, based on something nobody knows anything about, the Tightness and wrongness of existence goes by the boards. And people become slaves just on this one thing alone.

You know that it takes 75 hours to run an engram. Not if you can audit. Longest I think I ever spent on an engram was 9 hours. Been very hard to teach people this. But there's a new way of running engrams. I will give you immediately and directly what it is.

They are slaves because they are ignorant. What man in the society is right? What man in the society is decent? These are questions that can't be asked.

There is an area of existence known as experience. The willingness to experience. And when an individual will not have anything further to do with something, he becomes the effect of it. Right?

Well, look, what's a government going to do, run totally blind? Well, as long as you don't know anything about human beings, what else is there to do but drive totally blind and hope for the best. Think of that.

Audience: Right.

How would you like to be somebody in charge of this government right here at this moment with no more knowledge of the human mind and human existence than a government official at this time, does have? You'd go mad because you couldn't tell whose heart was in the right place and whose heart wasn't; who did a job – who would do a job and who wasn't; what anybody's motives were or what they weren't. All you could do is guess.

The poor girl who leaves home and leaves her husband because she can't stand him anymore, thinks she will be happy. But she goes off down the road with his valence shoved into her face. She is now the total effect of him because she can't stand there anymore. In other words, she's unwilling to experience. Unwillingness to experience is the tombstone of all cases.

You wouldn't know whether your own party was supporting you or not if you didn't know anything about the mind.

This fellow's going down the street saying, "Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak." Just about ready to run for president or something. Totally done in, and well, what do you know about this man?

Now, when it all goes into opinion and when it all goes into theory and when your behavior is all totally policed, you are no longer free and you can no longer govern and people can no longer live happily.

That exact condition is what he is unwilling to experience, so he's in it. People become the total effect of those things they are unwilling to experience. The whole political grab bag of the northern hemisphere, at this particular time, is based and predicated on one thing only: They are unwilling to experience an A-bomb. So all politics, and before you know it, all personal behavior, will be colored by this one thing.

You have to have a practical science, not a science that is a good science because some philosopher with a long, grey beard in some ivory tower has said, "This is wisdom."

And people will be going around saying, "Boom! boom! boom!"

Whole nations have gone by the boards – whole, whole nations – because they had a bunch of wisdom, none of which made any sense. India, China, these are countries which right now are almost gone. They're in total tumult. They have been upset with all manner of political flurries. They had great wisdom, didn't they?

We used to say that which you resist you become. Well, that's another way of saying the same thing. But this is a little more thorough and a little more practical statement of it: That which you're unwilling to experience you become. There's somebody sitting back there right now in the uniform of a soldier who doesn't want to be in that uniform.

I knew, as a little boy in my teens, I saw their great wisdom. And I was disgusted with it because it always went with poverty and dirt, and that to me is not wisdom.

This, you understand, doesn't mean that everybody being what he is being has been obsessively unwilling to experience it. Do you follow that? That doesn't mean that.

Yes, anybody in his right mind should be able to tolerate having a dirty face for a while, but not be proud of it! Not have as one of the primary requisites of being a commissar, the fact that one can have filthy, dirty fingernails at all times and bite them.

This means that your superreactive, unthinking, unanalytical level, this condition obtains. You can always find some justification of this. You can find times when you were unwilling to be a human being. That isn't the reason you are a human being. It isn't true that all things in this universe are bad. It is true that all things that are thought bad in this universe are bad.

No, no. We have, we have in – on Earth here today, a great many woes and difficulties and a great many unhappy people, a great many starving people, a great many people who can't make it and they all stem out of the fact of ignorance. They don't know They have no literacy about the mind at all. They're living in a total darkness. And having no literacy, they can't understand their fellows and they don't know which man means them well and which man means them badly. They know none of the rules of the human mind.

But this unwillingness to experience opens up an entire new field of the running of an engram. And it cracks Dianetics. I haven't got very much news for you in this congress. We've just ended cycle on Dianetics. Because you can run this.

What this world needs is a practical science, the parts of which are clearly visible. And if you can see this, then you can see into men's hearts and know them and live. That might not make sense to you at this moment. But it will. It will.

Now, Dianetics is a blackjack psychotherapy. In the hands of a Dianetic Auditor who is willing to apply the force, a pc hasn't got a prayer.

But let's talk some more about this anatomy course.

Now, the pc's self-determinism may not improve. The pc may not get better as a human being, but the pc will cease to be sick or nuts. You see what can happen there?

This anatomy course is fantastic simply because it takes its audiences, raw meat off the street, and they take a look at it, and they say, "What?" "This is the anatomy of the human mind!" Well, it is, you know. And they just lap it up, and they say, "That's it." And they feel very happy about it, and things go whirr – click in their heads, and they go gee, you know, that's real good, and that's very true, and so forth, because we just show them twenty things that are real, that they can find anyplace.

The technology easily overwhelms the aberrations and psychosomatic illnesses of the case. The technology overwhelms. It doesn't necessarily make the person better, but it certainly straightens them out. Very often you will find a pc with Dianetic therapy being most recalcitrant about the whole thing. There's a fellow came into a Central Organization on a wheelchair, you know. And he was all crippled up. Arthritis, you know. And they audited him for a while, and he finally got rid of the wheelchair. A few months later, he was found on a golf course. He was there playing golf, you know. Also striking for president.

Now, when I say things, I say – I mean things. There are twenty things. They are very concrete things. I'm not going to give you a list of them because I didn't bring my notes.

And a friend of his said to him, "Well, that Dianetics sure fixed you up, didn't it?"

This is probably the one time in history – this is the one time in history that I needed my notes. I'll write all these up and we will be able to actually get into it and do something. Ah! One of Kennedy's appointees.

"No," he said. "It didn't do a thing for me. Didn't do a single thing for me. I've still got my asthma."

But having no notes, why, I'll just have to play it off the cuff and show you only this – I'm not going to show you these twenty things but I am going to show you this – that we are in possession of things. We are studying things.

He was cured of an incurable illness and never found out about it. And this you can ask old pros. And by George, they'll tell you. There's just case after case like this.

Now, I want to discuss first some of the things that the predecessors, our predecessors, have been discussing. But this, oddly enough, is one of the things which is taught in this particular course. One of the things taught in this course, The Anatomy of the Human Mind, is an item which I think you had better inspect fairly closely because you probably have never seen one.

So we can assume that the technology of Dianetics can overwhelm the psychosomatics and neuroses of the individual without his finding out about it. It doesn't necessarily improve his reality or his ability, but it certainly subtracts from his beingness a lot of the things that were blocking any further progress. This is an interesting fact.

It's very necessary that you see one, because our predecessors came aground on just this one thing.

I don't care what else is read into it. It's just a fact. It's a matter of our experience over a long period of time.

There is the human brain. Well, you think I'm kidding. There's a brain. And I hope you realize that this is all they study in psychology. They study the brain.

Well, there's a brand-new one in the running of an engram. "What in that incident would you be willing to be?" And if you don't doodle-daddle around about it and monkey and shove tobacco cans into electric fans and do other things auditors are not supposed to do, if you just audit by the code, that incident is going to go phzzzzzt. The kick is going to come out of the incident – and rapidly.

Now, this stuff – this stuff is pretty – it's pretty ploppy. Now, it is – happens to be one of the things that is studied in the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

Beingness can be run on relatively low level cases. Now, you could take someone who is totally spinning, and you could ask him, "Is there anything around here that you'd be willing to be?"

This brain is a shock absorber which prevents electronic currents from injuring the beingness of the person. It's an electronic shock absorber and people have them in their skulls. If you were to touch your skull at this moment – please do, touch your skull at this moment – realize one of these brains is under it. Would any of you like to – to tes – ?

He'll find something; sugar bowl or something. And all of a sudden start coming out of his psychosis, just like that. Because all psychosis is, in terms of experience, is an unwillingness to be anything, which, of course, is a necessity to attack everything.

Now, this is the brain, and this purpose of the brain is to arrest impulses and prevent them from causing severe pain and injury. That is actually its basic purpose. Various parts of this brain are supposed to do guidance of currents and are supposed to connect up into the inner control mechanisms of the individual. But they do less so than is commonly believed.

A guy's got down to zero beingness. Neurosis is a person is unwilling to be to such a degree that they can't confront even thinking about not being it. But every time it gets in any way restimulated, they go naaaooooooo. Some of you – some of you people possibly have stage fright. You wonder how I can stand up in front of a lot of people and talk to them.

Those studies in psychology which tended to demonstrate this, were taken from war casualties. If the brains of war veterans were injured in certain places and the war veteran could not move certain portions of the body, they then assumed that the brain controlled those portions of the body. And that is how the brain control pattern was made.

Several ways of doing it. One is just not being here. Loud speakers do that. They never – never seem, however, to communicate with the audience. It's a mystery, you know?

However, in Dianetics and Scientology we have restored control of those portions even though that part of the brain remained missing.

Another method is just be there. Another method is be willing to be somebody who is speaking to an audience. The other thing is to be willing to be an audience. There's a lot of, a lot of gradients on this. This is all there is to stage fright in terms of experience. There isn't anything else connected with it. But you can find, Dianetically, particularly with the meter, the exact moment on the whole track when the individual became convinced that he was not willing to be a speaker. He just decided it that instant. Oh, I don't know, he was a member of an audience or he was – walked in the back of a hall or something like that as the head of the Gestapo or the Secret Police of Marcab and some fellow was mouthing evolutionary activities at a mile a minute or something like that, and so they lifted their tommy gun and shot the speaker. Something like that, you know. Some kind of an overt.

So there's the human brain and it's in the skull and it's one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. Okay?

It's always an overt against the thing they're unwilling to be. And you run this down, you find it. "Oh, no. I don't want anything to do with that incident."

Audience: Okay.

And that's why it's a blackjack method.

Okay.

You say, "Well, now, in the Auditor's Code we are going to run it, and the best part of – don't, no-o-o-o, you can't leave. Ha-ha. No-o-o, no." The best part of the Auditor's Code is always flatten the process. Even if you have to flatten the pc.

If anybody'd like to inspect those, he can later. Okay?

And a little while later, the person will say, "Well, I don't see anything wrong with being a speaker. I don't see anything wrong with this. Seems perfectly all right to me."

All right. Now, that's one lecture, and we're not going to give you the full lectures of these things, but don't you think it makes the man in the street green when he recognizes the situation. No racial prejudice guides this at all. I mean there's no racial prejudice involved in this.

And if they also say to you, "But what did this incident have to do with it?" don't bother to explain. You were – you were knocking out a neurosis of some kind or another. Don't expect it to be an intelligent neurosis.

This is another lecture of the series of the Anatomy of the Human Mind Course.

Now, old time psychotherapy had its tough moments. I imagine the toughest part of it was sitting there all those hours not listening. But it must have been pretty hard to know they really weren't helping anybody. There must have been kind of a spinny situation.

By the way, these lectures have an exact pattern. They go this way.

Now, in view of the fact that we have the psychologists of this country now maintaining that IQ can be changed (ha-ha-ha-ha); we've got the medical doctor maintaining there is such a thing as prenatal and birth engrams; we have the psycho – the psycho-sologists maintaining IQ and personality can be changed, and so forth; and the next thing you know, we'll have them maintaining that the best thing that people can do is go to the Central Organization of Scientology.

One is a description and definition of Dianetics and Scientology. Mostly just a definition of Scientology, such as Scientology is the study of knowing how to know and is a study of the human mind, and so forth.

But this is quite important, actually as an announcement because it isn't fair to suddenly begin clearing people with Scientology, with purely Scientology techniques, without having ended cycle on Dianetics.

Then the second statement of the lecture is that if you finish this course, you get a course completion certificate because they keep forgetting it, and they'll stop attending lectures. That is to say they'll miss a lecture or two or something like that, thinking they can make it up later and still get a certificate, which they can't.

Dianetics mustn't sit there as a failure, and it doesn't sit there as a failure now. But I will tell you that it takes forceful auditing, it takes very clever auditing. It takes very clever E-Metering in order to do it. And it's practically auditing with a blackjack sometimes. You find yourself sitting on the pc's chest saying, "Go through it once more/" That's about the way it has to be sometimes.

The next statement is a description of what we're covering, this date. So it'd be the human brain. "We're going to cover the human brain. The human brain is something or other, something or other, and the psychologists have studied it, and they think it's this and that, and actually here…"

I'll give you an idea. Here's a difference between these two subjects. Anatomy properly belongs to Dianetics, which discovered most of it.

Next is the thing itself, described and demonstrated. That is followed by having half of the audience find in the other half of the audience the thing described, and then, turnabout, have the other half find in the first half the thing described.

But here's a – here's a – here's a large difference. We have a husband and a wife who been feuding. I know this sounds unreasonable to you, that a husband and a wife could ever have any differences.

Then there is a break and then they come back for a brief question discussion period and definitions, just to make sure they found out what this thing was, and that is the end of that particular lecture.

But let's say hypothetically that they have been feuding. Now here's the proper, exact, long-term and best way to handle it Scientologically.

Do you get the exact pattern of this lecture? It is a pattern of demonstration of things. It has nothing to do with their philosophic aspect whatsoever.

We do a Marriage Co-audit. We bring them both in the same room, the auditor sits down with both of them present and runs O/W, Overt-Withhold on the wife about the husband while he sits there and takes it. And then you flip it, and run O/W on the husband about the wife. "What have you done to her?" "What have you withheld from her?" And clean them both up so they got no secrets no more, of no kind, no how. We get that tone arm standing there and the needle quiet with sensitivity at 16.

Now, here is one of these things. And this is the way we demonstrate them. The human nervous system. If we were giving this in the lecture, I'd give you the definition of Scientology, and I would give you the fact that you would get a certificate if you finished the course successfully. I would give you the statement concerning the nervous system and then let you find nervous systems in each other, probably by hitting the reflex points, or your knees and things of that character.

That marriage will go along just fine. I can guarantee it. That's a Marriage Co-audit, and the best way to handle one.

But let us suffice here that we have a puppet. Here is this puppet. And this puppet, of course, in the hands – my hands here – can do various things and jump around and so on, and look fairly live.

Now, the next thing I'd like to bring to your attention is that perhaps the wife is always mad at the husband and he can't figure out how or why or something of the sort. And it seems to be a situation out of gear just as it would be in a Scientological auditing, see. But Dianetically, you would handle quite a different way, with an engram sort of thing. Now get this trick. This is a very important trick. It took me a long time to find this trick, and it's so simple, it's easily forgotten. We put the husband on the meter, and we say, "When did you decide to get even with your wife?" And we run it back down to the exact moment in time and we will find a totally occluded incident which may come up as a secondary.

But here's the human nervous system demonstrated. If you'll notice as I move this bar here, I move two black threads which you can see easily against my white coat.

And we take the wife, and we find "When did you decide to get even with your husband?" and we run the secondary out of him. And we produce a found – profound, rapid change, if we can do it.

And now as I move those two threads one way or the other, we see the two feet go jumping up and down. Is that right?

Now, this is the – this is the difference between these two subjects. There is a difference. There are two subjects. One, we clip it out with a secondary and the other, we unburden it with 0/W.

Now, as I move this – as I move other cords and send messages down these lines, we get an accompanying dancing of the puppet.

You say it'll eventually both amount to the same thing. Well, I'm not so sure that it'll both amount to the same thing. Because I had a pc who had been run on O/W on her husband a considerable length of time and spotted her on an E-Meter because I knew it wasn't getting right. It just wasn't adjusting properly and spotted it on an E-Meter on "When did you decide to get even with your husband," found an incident she didn't remember, a person she didn't remember, and circumstances that she had never had in sight. She was just totally unwilling to be any part of that whole thing.

Now, we can move the head, we can move the arms, and so forth. As we move one of these strings, we move that. Those are control lines. This could be called the nervous system. The nervous system also serves as a warning and a pain absorption system as well as a control system. Those three things are the things contained in a nervous system: warning, control and arrest of pain.

Now, it wasn't that O/W didn't get it. O/W would have gotten it eventually, but maybe it would have been flat on a longer run. And of course, the case would have been flatter and the case would have been in more satisfactory condition, perhaps, on the Scientological side of the thing, but maybe you didn't have time for all that.

Now, a nervous system stops pain from reaching the individual rather than accelerates it. If you didn't have a nervous system that channeled it and slowed it down, it would probably damage the limb area or the body area far more, and so a nervous system is a pain absorption system.

Well, facing the raw meat of the public, you'd take such a person, put him on the E-Meter, and you'd say, "When did you decide to get even with your husband?"

As we noticed that we pull a string, something jumps here. Now, if we were giving this lecture full out, I would simply have half of you find in the other half of you reflexes of one kind or another, or get you to move the other fellow's arm and make him move the arm, and so on.

She'd say, "I'm having an awful, lousy time. My husband beats me every night, and he kicks me, and he throws me out of bed, and he keeps throwing me out of the window, and throwing my clothes out the window after me, and cutting all of my shoes up with scissors, and so forth."

Actually, it becomes rather clear to the individual that he is moving the arm, if you get him to do it for a little while, and that he's using some kind of a string mechanism in order to do so.

And you ask the husband, "Did you ever lay a hand on her?"

There is a lecture on the human nervous system which of course knocks out about two years of the college.

And he says, "Well, as a matter of fact I did. When we were first married, I carried her across the doorstep."

Okay. So much for that fella.

This data doesn't agree. She's trying to make him guilty. Now, please note, however, that you're dealing with the stuff of neurosis, not just an ordinary disagreement. She's nuts.

Now, you think that – you think that you'd quickly run out of these things. Now, I'm not going to demonstrate to you the most obvious things in the world. One is the human body. Very obvious. That's a thing. The other is the physical universe. That's just a thing. And it's demonstrable. It exists. It is. But, much more important to us, there is the lock, the secondary and the engram, and these are certainly things. If you've ever made one bite somebody, you realize there is something there; not a belief.

One of the best ways you can get this thing is locate the hidden incident and run it out.

Oh, it used to drive me mad. As late as 1951,1 was still finding old Dianeticists around who believed that an engram was an idea somebody had. And it was just about all I could do to keep my cotton-pickin' hands off of them and keep from throwing them into birth or something, you know? Or roll them up in a prenatal ball, and say, "Well, it's just an idea you've got. Get out of it yourself."

Now, how would you get rid of this incident. Well, just make her go through it a few times with old-time Dianetics would get rid of it if it's a light secondary. It wouldn't take you too long to do that.

Now, we have – we have these – these – these items. They're very demonstrable items. Actually, in the lecture series itself, we'll have an 8 millimeter motion picture of an incident taking place that is a lock, another incident which is a secondary and another incident which is an engram and also another incident which shows the overt-motivator sequence of an engram. These are all things.

But that's a fast patch-up. It's good. It'll stay that way. Probably wouldn't make her any better woman, but it'd make her nicer to her husband. Get the difference?

Then we turn the audience around (each – each one of these is a lecture) and we have them find in one another these things. You would be fascinated that on a raw audience, just culled off the street, how – any engrams they can find and how often they curl up in a ball and go through the sperm sequence and do all sorts of wild things just like they used to in 1950.

Now, in Scientology you'd straighten this girl out on the sane level, and she would eventually be able to be nice to husbands. Not nice to Joe, particularly, or necessarily. You'd straighten her out on the subject of husbands.

Of course, those are very obvious items, aren't they? Well, a less obvious item is the overt-motivator sequence. It is a thing. The overt-motivator sequence.

You take this thing, this fear of snakes that Scientology could handle and would handle. All you'd have to do is run Help in various ways on a snake, and it'd handle this thing eventually. Perfectly well, too.

It is a very low order – let me tell you something about this and give you a demonstration of it – it is a very low order sequence.

But let's say a person is real batty on the subject of snakes, and say, "Just get the idea of a snake," and they start going, "nnnnn-nnnnn-nnnnn." Even their hands remind them of one. Well, if they're neurotic, you're not going to be able to get them to sit still to run anything very much, and it won't bite or anything else. You won't get their attention on it.

It falls out when the person ceases to be as reactive, because it is based upon and is a Q and A with Newton's law of interaction. For every action there's an equal and contrary reaction.

You just have to overwhump them. Say, "All right. What – what did you do with the snake – to a snake, when?"

The overt-motivator sequence. If you do something to Joe, then Joe, of course, is going to do something to you, isn't he?

"Oh, I never did anything to a snake."

Well, the overt-motivator sequence is a little more serious than this. The plain law of interaction is that if I take the red ball and drop it against the yellow ball, then the yellow ball is going to come back and hit the red ball, isn't it? Watch. See? That's Newton's law of interaction at work. And people who have gone down and are beginning to Q-and-A totally with the physical universe use this law as their exclusive method of operation. Revenge, ha-ha-ha. "You hit me, I'll hit you. Ha-ha-ha-ha." "National defense: If we get enough atomic weapons, we will, of course, be able to prevent people from throwing atomic weapons at us."

"What's the date of that? and so forth, at such and such a time, period, place, so on." Locate it exactly.

Think it over. If we got enough atomic weapons, what's going to happen to us? We're going to get clobbered with atomic weapons. Right?

All of a sudden, willy-nilly, they're staring at the engram.

Audience: Right.

"All right. What part of that incident would you be willing to be?"

Somebody talks about the fact that you can't lick the commies, for instance. You can use this same thing, this same item to lick commies with. They use propaganda all the time. Just use their propaganda. Commie propaganda? Red. Here it goes. Ta! Right in the teeth yet. And it's true; the one thing they can't stand is propaganda. Anticommunist propaganda, and man, do they curl up in a ball.

"Oh, not the snake."

And there is this thing called the overt-motivator sequence. There is more to it than just Newton's law of interaction, which is why they didn't make it work in the 17th century; because there's more to it.

"Well, is there any part of the incident you'd be willing to be?"

If Joe hits Bill, he now believes he should be hit by Bill. More importantly, will actually get a somatic to prove he has been hit by Bill, even though Bill hasn't hit him. He will make this law true regardless of the actual circumstances. And people go around all the time justifying, saying how they've been hit by Bill, hit by Bill, hit by Bill.

"Well, I'd be willing to be that rock down there."

"My mother beat me every day." You put them on the E-Meter. You say, "Did your mother ever beat you?" The E-Meter never wiggles.

And here we go. We just start picking it out. All of a sudden the instant changes. Moves forward. Bang! Moves through a couple of times automatically, and we don't have a neurosis on the subject of snakes anymore."

You say, "Now think it over. Well, just exactly – give me one time when your mother beat you."

Dianetics is psychotherapy. It's an end cycle on psychotherapy. In old time Dianetics, I've seen somebody auditing out of Book One, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, rescue somebody out of an insane asylum, where they had been incarcerated as hopelessly insane for many years. Stand them up against the wall in the corridor and run them through engrams until they were sane.

"I can't remember any."

Of course, running through the engram is a token willingness to be, and that's why engram running works: willing to be in the situation again. But it really might take some strong arm on the part of the auditor to get them near the situation. It might register on the meter, but not on the pc's memory.

"All right. Now, think hard. Think hard. Something about your mother and beating you and so forth."

So we're dealing here, actually, with different approaches entirely. And in auditors' hands, I don't think Dianetics will clear anybody. I can clear people with Dianetics; have never been able to teach anybody to clear with Dianetics. Some people have cleared people with Dianetics, but I'm talking about broad clearing that would anywhere near approximate any percentage of the cases at all.

"Oh ho. I just remember, I hit her with a baseball bat once."

Well, you'd be able to get anyone here and there and clear them, and so forth. You have to look into Scientology for the improvement of IQ and ability. You can clear them with Scientology. It's relatively easy to do today.

Yeah. But this has ever since expressed itself as a necessity to believe that Mother has beaten him, because this law must exist. Got the idea?

What'll be taught on the 22nd American rather easily clears people. It's complicated. The processes are complicated, but the clearing is well assured.

Even though it hasn't occurred, human beings on a low reactive basis will insist that it has occurred. And that is the overt-motivator sequence.

I don't know how long clearing takes these days, probably 250 hours, something like this. Most cases. I haven't got any timing on the thing to amount to anything. There's a lot to know about clearing in Scientology.

If a fellow does an overt, he will then believe he's got to have a motivator or that he has had a motivator. If he hits somebody, he will tell you immediately that he has been hit by the person, even when he has not been. Got it?

The goal of Dianetics was clearing. Well, I've cleared people in Dianetics, but I've not been able to teach auditors to do it. But I have taught auditors now to clear with Scientology. So that's a successful field. And quite an accomplishment.

Audience: Yes.

We have done the impossible. You know, there's always been some savant, Messiah, wise man, soothsayer, thunderbolt that came out of a Zeus, full armed or something, that could always come down with a bunch of hocus-pocus of some kind or another and make people into angels or something. This was always – there's always been people like this around.

That's another one of the things of Dianetics and Scientology. And a very valuable thing it is to know.

And it never did anybody any good that I've ever been able to find out.

You hear the wife saying how the husband beats her every day. Look under her pillow for the brickbat that she uses because just sure as the devil, if she's saying that the yellow ball has hit the red ball, notice that the red ball had to hit the yellow ball first. Got it?

The only possible way you could do anything for man would be to teach man to do something for man. And that's been my solution, right or wrong, and that's the way I worked on it, and that's the direction I have worked.

Audience: Yes.

And it's come true. It's worked out.

Well, that's another one of these twenty things.

You should realize, however, that in the process of working all this out that there's been a terrific liability. All the way along the line there has been a heavy liability. Very heavy.

Now, to show you the physical universe, of course, would be too easy, but just remember that that's one of the things just as the body's one of the things. But we have certain scales, very definite, certain scales and certain cycles which we use in Dianetics and Scientology, and they are not figure-figure cycles of any kind whatsoever. They are not figure-figure cycles.

You cannot partially solve the riddle of the human mind. You might partially solve it, but you'd better not. You just better not.

The truths of the matter is – you know, any one of you could probably do this particular one better than I can – but I want to show you here, here is a no created thing. It's just a piece of paper. (Of course, it's gotten created.) But we are going to show you now a cycle of action in terms of create-survive-destroy.

This is something that will not stand up to partial solution. Partial solution is a sure method of going out the bottom fast. You can't have part of the answers to the human mind any more than you can take a hand grenade and pull its pin and take your hand off the safety catch, and sit there and look at it. You get your head blown off. This is dynamite. This is real dynamite.

There is such a thing as the cycle of action. Its earliest genus of create-survive-destroy comes actually out of the fourth hymn of the Veda; about 10,000 years old. It describes it much more lengthily, and so on, and we use it today on the basis of the cycle of action. We call it the create-survive-destroy cycle. That is its crudest form, and actually is only an apparency, but is nevertheless a demonstrable thing.

I have, to some degree, known what I've been up against under this line. The goal was set to make other people be able to help other people. That's all.

I want to show you how this works. Here we have nothing created. We just have a piece of paper. Now I am going to create something. As I say, any of you could do this better than I.

It couldn't be partially solved. It would only be partially solved if I could help other people. That's a partial solution, isn't it. What I could do wouldn't matter because someday I'll get bored or something like that and kick off.

The making of a boat or a hat, of course, has its complications. Some people prefer them larger and some people prefer them smaller, some more complicated and some less complicated. But here, so far, we have gone this far, and now we will go just a little further. (This is probably going to cause an upset with the management when I get through with it.)

Well, what – what's this done for anybody? Put everybody at effect, that's what. Totally at effect.

Well, you see here, I am creating something rather laboriously. Are you with me? All right. I'm busy creating a boat. Having a large sailorish background, and noticing several in the audience who also have, we will make a freighter. There's a boat. Okay?

Supposing you had it all solved except the overt-motivator sequence.

Audience: Yes.

Well, supposing that was missing. The fact that what you do to others is what you get kicked in the teeth with. Your failures, rather, on others visit home unto you. Nobody'd ever be able to explain why everybody spun in when anybody tried to help anybody. They'd have to decide then that helping people was dangerous. And that would end the whole action, wouldn't it.

Now, we're demonstrating this thing called a cycle of action. And there is a boat created which is now surviving. There it's surviving. Look at it. It still sits there. It is continuing. After having been created, it continues. There it is. It's busy continuing, innocent as the driven snow.

Or supposing – supposing you knew all about the human mind except the engram. Suppose you didn't know anything about engrams, but you knew everything else. That was the state psychology was in. You know, they couldn't explain anything. Psychiatry was in that state.

But watch it. What's it doing? It's surviving. There it is. What's it doing?

They'd walk into their institutions. They'd have to list thousands of types of cases. They finally just stopped classifying and said they're all schizophrenics, except some of them: they're paranoid schizophrenics. They'd have had to throw their classification away. Otherwise, every case was a different class. There are only two types of psychotics. One is a computing and the other is a dramatizing.

Audience: Surviving.

The computing psychotic is stuck in a circuit. The dramatizing psychotic is running endlessly through an engram.

Oh, you're convinced now.

And you go down to an institution. If you know Dianetics – you go into an institution – you know exactly what any patient there is doing. It's an open book. All they're doing is dramatizing their engrams. They're totally in, that's all. Or they're dramatizing a circuit.

Audience: Yeah.

Well, supposing you didn't know anything about engrams, and there would be the greatest wonder here. You'd be stuck in the mystery of it all. Supposing you knew all about the human mind except thetans. You knew nothing about thetans.

Well, all right, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, in view of the fact that we have this boat surviving, we have another step which I would like to show you. Because the cycle of action has three steps. Okay?

Well, just look at it. I mean if you could imagine a subject which would know all about the human mind but nothing about the actual being himself.

All right. I hope people have fire extinguishers here. We are now entering the phase of destroy. Correct?

Look at how its practitioners and followers would spin in. They would think it was all being done by the brain. And they'd spin in. It'd stick them, but good, because there'd be this missing mystery.

Well, at least I have enough inflammable chemicals to throw on it here. Okay? Cycle of action. Create-survive-destroy. Are you convinced that the third stage is destroy?

Furthermore, there'd be absolutely no hope, and also there'd be no explanation for how anybody got that way because the bulk of aberration is on the whole track. It's not the present lifetime.

Audience: Yes.

Oh, you think you've been bad in the present lifetime. Ha-ha-ha, waa, oh-ho. Last time I met you in Rome; oh, mo. What you were doing then. Whew. Well, I won't tell it out in public here.

That's pretty good. You learn fast.

If you don't know anything about the life unit, you would know nothing about life. And a thetan is a life unit.

One of the things of the physical universe. One of its basic fundamentals.

I'm just pointing out to you that if we omitted various parts of the whole pattern, we'd wind up nowhere and almost be worse than never having studied it. Almost. And traditionally people who study in this subject wind up utterly mad.

Some of you out there realize that I am not in keeping with the fire regulations. Oh, well, if it burns up, it's all right. There's plenty of firemen in the place. Burning. There it goes. Now, what's the cycle of action.

Now, the subject of the human mind is known to be a very dangerous subject. One of the first things you were told probably when you got into Dianetics or Scientology was that you should leave your mind alone. Somebody certainly told you that.

Audience: Create-survive-destroy.

Well, it's based on the wisdom of the fact that if you don't know all there is to know about the mind, you'd better not know anything about it at all. You'd just better vegetabalize.

Do you think a green audience would understand that?

Now, there are several reasons why you ought to be trained, not just processed. There are several reasons why you ought to be trained. One is it is better to help than be helped. Auditors are almost going Clear these days auditing people. They developed a profound contempt for the aberrations of mankind. They have become much less important and those things which become less important tend to fade away.

Audience: Yes. Sure.

But there's other reasons why: is a partial knowledge of the subject isn't good enough. You've got to have an experiential knowledge.

And they think they understood something there about life, wouldn't they? Now, if each one in the audience was turned to another one, half of the audience was turned to the other half of the audience, and they had to find examples of the cycle of action in the other audience half – you know, plague them, "Give me an example of the cycle of action," see? "Give me another example of the cycle of action." Then they turn about: "Give me an example of the cycle of action." Actually, it'll move them on the time track. Do you realize that?

Unless you're able to be an auditor, how can you be audited. You're unwilling to experience or unable to experience being an auditor because there's wide gaps about it all. You got the idea?

Now, it moved, didn't it? There it is. There it is. Beautiful white sheet of paper, and we created a boat and the boat became a survival factor. And then the survival factor disappeared and we had the remainder of it, simple, huh?

That's the reason why we're shifting over to a practical Scientology course which is the same, really, as the old professional course. An individual will wind up at the other end, not being a professional, nobody expects him to be a professional, but he will know all about it and be able to do it. And you'll find out he makes tremendously higher gains. That isn't just a come-on. It's just good sense.

It's rather fascinating, when you look the thing over, that you can demonstrate these things. Now you see why I had this set up as a laboratory setup. The physical sciences: We are looking at the physical sciences, and the practicalities of the physical sciences are right here.

Furthermore, somebody's IQ goes up to 176. Well, this is all okay. The IQ goes to 176, but that's a potential knowingness. Does he know anything with that 176? Got the idea? You give him something to know with the 176.

Actually, there are twenty of these items. I'm not even going to try to give you a list of these things for the excellent reason that I haven't got my notes.

The whole of psychotherapy has been most dangerous to the practitioner in partial knowledge. Not in Dianetics or Scientology; we've always been a few thousand yards ahead of the lion. We have. We're able to get results, and fortunately, because we're cohesed, staying together and weren't being dictated to – don't think people haven't tried to dictate as to what we were supposed to research and what we were supposed to do and what we were not supposed to do. People have tried this very hard.

But I'll give you another example, another example, which is probably the hardest lecture to confront giving, but is actually the most responsive as far as an audience at large is concerned. And that is to demonstrate to people the existence of a body.

Amongst the sinners are the American Psychiatric Association. They've tried to tell us what we could do and what we couldn't do. These poor boobs can't do anything. These guys were fighting the only fellows who will eventually pull them out of the soup because they're never going to get out of the soup on their own. And one of these days, why, you may have a psychiatrist on your hands.

I had the awfullest argument with Pete, D of T, Johannesburg, on this subject. He kept coming in and asking me what he was going to say when he got to the body. And I kept telling him, "Well…" He was trying to demonstrate these things in people. He didn't have this at first. He finally got this thing taped down pretty good, and on a body – but a body, he couldn't get the idea of what he was to do with a body. When a body came along and he was to do something with a body, what was he supposed to do with this body?

Well, that'll be rough, man. That'll be a rough case because he's done the adventurous thing of entering the field of psychotherapy without knowing any of the answers and then has punished psychotics because he doesn't know anything about the overt-motivator sequence.

"Well," I says, "you get him up on the stage, and you show people a body. You know, here's a body, and you point out various things about the body like, here's a hand, and so on. And then you have people in the audience find bodies. Half the audience gets the other half of the audience to find bodies. And this is what you do in bodies."

He electric shocks and operates and abuses and renders dead and non compos mentis and things – psychotic individuals. Oh, wow! Poor guys. Don't cheer, boys. The poor devils are going nuts because they're going to flip into that valence. And the whole subject has the reputation of putting its practitioners into asylums.

And he said, "That certainly doesn't sound like much."

Nurses, attendants and psychiatrists in institutions – find all too great a percentage wind up in their own institutions. I'm not just talking to – I'm not even fighting this organization. I'm just telling you factually that they are lucky that we exist. And yet they are the last ones to give us a break.

Now, the oddity about all of this is the simplest things are the most demonstrable things are the most neglected things in life. It is because everybody got so fantastically complicated that they missed this continuously, on and on and on. The whole science of the mind as it sat there was missed because it was all figure-figure and it was all supercomplicated and it was all over everybody's heads. And one of the things that they tell you today at the university, they tell you, "Of course, nobody can really understand anything about it, and it's much too complicated for you to find out anything about."

And yet if they ever pull out of it, it'll be because of us. A typical psychotic reaction. To cut to pieces only those who would help them.

Well, that's the first lie. Is there anything complicated in this demonstration of the cycle of action? Well, it's all that simple. And that's why everybody missed it. And that's why, if you ever give this course yourself, you're going to occasionally miss the boat because you're going to get too significant.

But if you know the subject and you know the subject well, you, of course, know the mind, and you have experiential data on the subject of the mind and it doesn't baffle you anymore. And of course, just on that basis alone, you become more able.

Poor Pete. He had this vast mob of people, all of them green and so forth, and they came into the hall, and so he says, "Well, you know. I'm a martyr. I'll do what Ron said. It'll probably be all right because he said it, but there's no telling what can happen."

There's all sorts of auditors around who, auditing a pc, have practically spun themselves in. They've had a dozen failures on the same pc, you know, consecutively. Auditing the pc when they are tired. Auditing the pc under the various conditions that it'd be absolutely, completely certain that the auditor would wind up almost spun in. Well, how is it that they don't? Because they don't. Psychiatrists do. But auditors don't. They wake up the next morning and it all goes out of restim. That's because they understand enough about it not to be afraid of it.

So he got a fellow up on the stage. And the fellow – he pointed out, he says, all of a sudden, he said – the fellow's hand – he says, "Well," he says, "do you see that skin?" (It's a body demonstration.) He said, "Do you see that skin? There's meat under it."

They may think for a day or two and wonder why – "Why did I – what was it all about?" That would just be the missing data that they had about the thing. Then they come out of it.

A fellow says, "By golly, there is, isn't there, you know." And the fellow says, "Aw, gee." He says, "I won't dare but be able to look at a girl walking down a street without realizing I'm looking at some meat."

But knowing enough about it, they are no longer afraid of it and so are no longer resisting it. If you can solve or resolve or as-is, more importantly, psychosis and neurosis, then let me assure you that you don't mind being it.

And Pete made this person – body – walk up and down a little bit and said, "You see how the hands move and the legs moves, and so forth. And it's a body, and it has a head and it has hips and legs and arms and hands and its head and it moves this way and it is a body. All right. Thank you very much."

Of course, you've got the question of being it perpetually. Well, that's a conditional beingness; adds the illusion of time. If you get the idea of being a psychotic perpetually, however, of course it as-ises being a psychotic perpetually.

And, well, I think he brought another body up, a female body, and showed that it had similar things, but was different. And then he had half of his audience finding bodies in the other half of the audience. And in the first two minutes of play he had about half of these people pooom! out of their heads, which, of course, happens every time you ask some greenhorn to look and find some bodies. He's not used to it, and he'll – they saw the insides of their heads, you know, and they saw the backs of their heads and bodies and they found out they were different than bodies and there it was. He had also demonstrated the human spirit which, by the way, is not one of the things listed.

The universe can't win, that's all. Not with us around.

Well, this is the brand-new course; will be an evening course of about twenty different evenings at about two evenings a week.

So here is the, here is the breadth of what we're doing today. We have two distinct spheres of action.

Anybody could give one of the things. All you've got to do is look up and find the subject matter of Dianetics and Scientology and show people that they are things and that they exist, and that you are dealing with a practical science. You're not dealing with an esoteric – esoteric, philosophical treatise on thin air. You're dealing with the things of life.

Many of the old old-timers are pretty slippy with old Dianetics. They can do some weird things with Dianetics. Well, if they add that skill to good skill with an E-Meter and follow the meter and use the type of process of "What part of that incident would you be willing to be?" this type of shortcut auditing, they all of a sudden find that this becomes very simple, and they can knock out neuroses or little psychotic bugs out of a case with great rapidity. "What compulsion, obsessions do you have? What are you most afraid of?" Make a list of these things, and just knock them out. And then go on with auditing with Scientology. This would be an interesting method of proceeding. Got the idea?

Once a person has seen an engram and seen that the thing bites and answers up a lot of his difficulties in existence, once he's seen a secondary or a lock, something like this, he's seen these various things, he knows he's looking at the parts of the human mind and he recognizes, completely aside – because in no part of this course do you tell anybody even that you can handle these things or that you can get any results from them or that you do handle them, except maybe to say, "Well, if you ever want to become a professional auditor, why you'd learn how to handle these various things which we're demonstrating to you." And you'd let it go at that.

What they're liable to do, however, is try to finish a case with Dianetics. Yeah, they would utterly finish a case being neurotic and psychotic. And what would they have left? A humanoid. I beg your pardon. I apologize. There was probably two or three in the audience.

But you just show them the parts. And you say, "These are the parts of life."

But the recognition of the spheres of knowledge of existence and what those things are, that all by itself tends to drop the mystery out of it all and permits one to more closely experience existence.

Of course, these people will go out and they'll run into some old-time 19th-century psychologist and they will say to him, and they'll say to him, "Well, I'm up in your field now. I'm studying all about the anatomy of the human mind."

Now, let's take some fellow who's been reading space opera. I know. I like to read space opera. I've written a lot of it. As a matter of fact, they don't write it anymore.

And the psychologist will say, "Where?"

But this fellow just can't seem to keep his nose out of space opera, and he said, "Gee! I'd like to do that sometime in the future when this civilization – when we get really geared up and when we really get into the future, and when we really have space ships, and when we really, and…" All this time he has this horrible burning sensation on the end of his nose, you know? And he can't quite account for that, but he's into space opera, but he's not in space opera, but he likes to read it, but it has a horrible effect on him, and-and-well, the first time he can enjoy space opera is when he finds out he's been a rocket jockey for the last 18 dozen lives.

And he'll say, "Oh, down there at the Scientology Organization. I'm studying there down at the center; studying about it. Ha-ha. It's pretty good, you know. Pretty good."

No wonder he gets a burning nose. One of the favorite skills he had back in the early days of one of the space societies was shooting off doll's noses. He didn't like to hurt them. He just singed their noses, you know. Fast draw. You wonder why all these guys are fixated on western movies. Western movie is mostly a substitute for space opera if you only knew it.

"Well, did they teach you anything about the brain?"

It's space opera that's full of the fast draw and shoot them dead. Listen, human bodies are not bulletproof. I don't know if you've ever experienced that fact or not. Probably not in this lifetime, but you do have some evidence to this effect. If somebody stood up and pointed a gun at you, something in you would tell you that it would make a hole in you. Well, I wonder how you learned that. Not by watching western movies because they all die very cleanly and very calmly, mostly, except when they are being filmed with realism. Then they splatter a little blood on the fellow's shirt, you know, make him cough twice.

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We learned all about the brain."

Factually speaking, it takes a doll, if you please, a nonhumanoid body to be able to stand up to firearms of that character. There isn't any reason you should be killed dead just because you're shot. There isn't any real reason why it should hurt very badly.

"Well, did you learn about the human nervous system?"

You're afraid right now of travelling down an icy, slippery road at 110 miles an hour. You'd say that'd be a bum show. Why?

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We learned all about the human nervous system."

If you were in a doll body: So it plows into the concrete abutment, and it dents up your new shirt. Next time you think of it back at the base while you're over to the armor, and you say, "Hey, pound out my chest, would you? That's right. Pound it up, smooth it up a little bit. The enamel's cracked there too. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. That's better. That's better." And you haven't learned not to go 110 miles an hour on icy roads. Because there's no reason to learn it.

"Oh, well, don't you realize that it takes six years to learn all the parts of the mind?" the psychologist will say. "It takes six years and then you don't know anything, you know."

'Tisn't a particularly dangerous activity. And the Marcab Confederacy within the last 200 thousand years, racing cars went 275 miles an hour and were turbine driven. Everybody thinks a racing car should sound like a Marcab racing car. Just ask somebody how should a racing car sound.

And your student will say, "Well, it's what the Instructor told us. Told us that it – you have to study quite a bit to learn more about it."

Well, they don't say, "brrrrrrrrrrr" like an Earth racing car. They say "mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm." That's a Marcab racing car. They don't have any here on Earth.

"Oh, you're taking some lay course. Oh, how nice. Well, I guess that's all right."

Everybody knows how it is. I wonder why they know this so well.

Like a psychoanalyst that came down through the test section. Psychoanalyst brought in his patient to get tested and evaluated. And we tested his patient and evaluated the patient. And the psychoanalyst sat there, and he says, "Well, it's taken me about 2Y2 years to figure all those things out about that fellow. And you figured them all out in about a half an hour. That's right. That's right. That's what's wrong with him. I agree with what you have said is wrong with him. Yeah. I agree with that. Is it all right if I go in and get tested?"

Well, they were using meat bodies on some of that stuff, and boy, did they get messed up. Meat bodies. Imagine driving in racing cars like that. It practically cured everybody of driving, so nobody on Earth can drive.

Well, similarly, the psychologist could come down and attend this course and go away thinking well, maybe there was some more for him to learn about the human mind, thinking the course was all right.

But I don't want to talk about past track because some amongst us are in the innocent state of thinking they have lived only once and are right here. But, I will give those who have been annoyed by people who sneered – you know, how a guy can cover up 99 and 9999999 percent of his experience and say it never existed, and then be happy thereafter, I wouldn't know. But people seem to be trying this. And you'll find many bad-off cases are very afraid of going into the backtrack or are trying desperately to do so but can't, they tell you.

It isn't something that'd necessarily rub him the wrong way, but it'd sure expand his horizon off the figure-figure, and by getting psychologists to teach that course, you of course will do such a thing as probably take the whole field of psychology.

Well, there's an HAS Co-audit process to be released shortly which takes care of this. It's an old one. An old process.

But it's an interesting course, don't you think? It's a new look at things, isn't it? If this was a four-day congress, I'd lay the whole thing out for you.

Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting. Run long enough, the fellow's memory keeps improving, his memory keeps improving, his memory keeps improving, and his memory…

As it is, the only thing I can do for you is to give the listings and the bulletins and give you a publication on the thing and wish you luck.

"Spiders' bodies are very hard to move, aren't they? Well, I never had anything like that!"

Male voice: Thanks.

"Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting."

Oh, I don't really think you'll need much luck. You don't need all this paraphernalia to go on with. But the human mind, of course, is a sort of a bag of tricks. It's the bag of tricks that a thetan has developed to keep himself from getting bored to death in this universe, and has then considered too complicated to understand and has gotten himself into serious trouble with.

"Oh, well, that I ever had a spider's body."

One of the first things you'll find the public will listen to is an exact list of the parts of a human mind as I've more or less demonstrated them to you here, except there are twenty different parts. Did you like that?

That'll turn on your backtrack. I know of only one case that couldn't run it. And he kept answering it this way:

Audience: Yes. Very much.

"Tell me something you wouldn't mind forgetting."

All right.

And he'd say, "Well, I wouldn't mind forgetting an appointment with somebody I didn't – well, I don't know. I don't know. I probably ought to remember that."

Thank you.

He kept going on this way for some time. We caught him about a year later and audited him again. By this time he could run it. We must have done something else to him. Well, for a long time he couldn't run it. But most cases can run this, and with great benefit.

You want to improve your memory? Get it run. That turns on your whole track and makes life much less mysterious.

It's like Suzie. The Director of Security and I'd take her out in back of the house up against the hill, and he gives her a gun, which is a model of an old western gat – peacemaker – and we show her how to – we show her how to load the thing. He shows her how to load it rather. And so on, standing there. "Supposed to shoot that box over there, see?"

Well, Suzie is a nice, delicate, little feminine girl. You know Mary Sue. And you don't expect a nice, delicate, little feminine girl, even if she is from Galveston or Houston or something, you don't expect her to pick the thing up and fan it six times.

We tried to get her to shoot it some other way, but she couldn't hit anything. But fanning it! Yeah, we didn't bother to teach her much more about guns. But it's a terrible mystery to a guy finding he has memories, odd memories, odd nightmares, odd skills, and if he's never – doesn't know anything about a thetan or ever having been around except in this life, then he has no accounting for it, and he's really stuck in the mystery of it all, isn't he?

Well, anyway, today your case is pretty well taped. One of the best ways to tape your case is by being able to experience taping cases. I'll give it to you frankly.

You can't sit and be a pc forever. You can't be the effect of anything forever. You got to reverse that line sometime or another. Well, it's pretty easy to do.

Now, the world is far too accustomed to these fellows who march forth upon the stage of affairs and magically wave the magic wand, and drive thousands of swine out of pcs or something, and all at a, you know, hocus-pocus, prestidigitosis, you have no leprosis.

The world has been pretty well indoctrinated into this type of individual and has been convinced that it is some peculiar thing, some long spark that makes it possible for them to do this. And that it is a beingness of such magnitude that they would never possibly be able to approximate it because it is native in that individual and not in themselves.

You'll find that this mechanism has been done time after time after time on the whole track.

Now, the only thing that makes it impossible for you to do this sort of thing is you just don't know how, that's all. And you just might as well get over the idea that you have to be a Messiah. I'm just a guy and appeared at the right crossroads at the right time – he lied – and put the thing together.

But the point is, the knowledge is there, the knowledge isn't something I dreamed up, the knowledge is residual in you, or you wouldn't even be able to understand it. The knowledge is yours as much as mine. You should be able to know how to use that knowledge and you should be able to know all about that knowledge, and stop respecting it as something superspecial because it's just the woof and warp of which life is made.

And if you don't understand all sides of it, you won't get anyplace.

Most Scientologists have as their only nightmare, kicking off and not being able to remember Scientology. That would be a rough one. The easiest way to do that is just "something you wouldn't mind forgetting." Get the forgetter off – you see, people are obsessively remembering all the time and they never decide to forget things, really. It's all on automatic. Take it off automatic and you remember all the data. But I can already assure you that people when they back out of their heads, when they've been trained, they don't forget it.

They think of their responsibilities and they think of this and they think of that and when they're back there about eight feet, they find they're still stuck on something, so they audit the beam off and depart.

And then they get overwhelmed and conscience-stricken about it all and come back and pick up the mock-up. And they'll tell me about it occasionally. "Well, I almost dropped the mock-up the other day, but I got to thinking what would you do for a D of P," or something like that, you know. Brings them back, but they do fly out of their heads knowing all about it, providing they know all about it.

And I'll assure you of something. You can't remember something you don't know anything about. It's pretty hard to do.

Now the whole of cases today has only one hole in it, and that is because of me. I know I don't have very much to do. I'm very lazy. And it's been very remiss of me not to get it all down in book form right up to date, ss-bang. I haven't been able to do that.

The only thing I can do is put it on tapes and teach it in some courses. And one of these days, when you get good enough to carry your share of the load, why, then I can write it all down for the future.

So help me out, will you?
