GROUP PROCESSING: START LAUGHING

A lecture and group processing session given on the 19 January 1955

Psychotherapy, as such, demands at the beginning of the action, that a person be potty. And people who are a bit potty, psycho, who are skidding their wheels mentally and other technical terms, don't group audit worth two nickels and a collar button. They just don't group audit.

You put them in a group and they goof - that's the technical term for sitting there.

Now, Group Auditing actually belongs in the field of the sane and able, although you could take a group of people who weren't too well off and do a lot with them with Group Auditing; this we know.

But at the same time, the place where it belongs is with the people who are pretty sane, who just have some minor odds and ends - broken backs and that sort of thing - wrong with them, and who actually want to do a little bit better in life than before.

Now, what exactly does Group Auditing do? Group Auditing has the remarkable ability to increase one's awareness of the environment, and to increase one's communication.

Now, let's take playing baseball. Do you suppose that if a baseball player had difficulty communicating with a baseball he would be a championship baseball player? No, if you were to actually test just this one factor: the communication consideration of the baseball, amongst a lot of baseball players, you could pick out blind the big-league players. See, you could just pick them right out of the lineup. Or two or three bush-league players who ought to be in the big leagues, and two or three big-league players who ought to be not even in a bush league. It'd be the ability of the individual to communicate with a baseball. All right.

Here is an individual who is not having too good luck with a car. We put him into better communication with this car. Just have him touch the steering wheel and let go of it, and touch it and let go of it. And touch the fender and let go of it. And touch the starter button and let go of it. And touch another wheel and let go of it. And touch the steering wheel and let go of it. And we keep this up for about a half an hour a day, for a week or so, an individual who was not able to drive a car is now able to drive a car. Peculiar, isn't it? We increase his communication, we increase his ability.

Group Auditing belongs to the sane and to the field of increasing endeavor and ability. And unless somebody in this mechanical society today starts to practice increasing one's ability to do, the next thing you know we're all going to be sitting back there with folded hands while the machines grind on. The ability to construct the machine will have been gone.

That would be an interesting society, wouldn’t it? One that ran totally on machinery and then all of a sudden there was nobody in the society left who could build a whole machine. And a machine breaks down, and another one breaks down, and another one breaks down, and another one breaks down, and nobody can put together any machines anymore. Be an interesting society - look peculiarly like this one.

So Group Auditing belongs to the field of higher alertness and higher awareness, and what we are trying to do with these exercises is simply increase your alertness and awareness. If it accidentally knocks out a psychosomatic, if it betters your eyesight or does something of this character, why, do not be alarmed, do not be alarmed, that was just an added bonus. And don't look for anything to happen at all. Don't expect something to happen. If it happens, I will simply make it happen. You don't have to do anything about it. Okay.Now let's find the floor.

Audience: Sure. Yeah.

There is?

Audience: Yes.

Well, is there a distance between the eyes themselves? Is there a difference between them?

Audience: Yes.

You got it?

How about the back side of them? Is there any difference in the back side of them, the right and the left eye?

Audience: Sure. Yeah.

Uh-huh?

Audience: (various responses)

There is a difference, huh?

Audience: Yeah.

Well, all right.

Now let's take your right ear and left ear. Is there a difference between your right ear and left ear?

Audience: Certainly. Yeah.

Hm?

Male voice: Sure.

All right.

Let's find another difference between your right and left ear. All right.

How's that now, huh?

Female voice: Fine.

Real good?

All right.

Now let's find a difference between the right and left wall of the room. A difference between the front and the back of the room.

A difference between the floor and the ceiling.

Audience: Mm-hm.

And a difference between you and the person next to you.

Audience: (laughter; various responses)

Male voice: Okay, wise guy, shush up.

Can you find a difference between you and the person next to you?

Audience: Yes. Yeah.

I thought you couldn't laugh.

Female voice: What do you want me to laugh at?

All right.

Now let's find another difference between you and the person next to you.

Female voice: All right. Audience: (various responses) Can you get this difference?

Audience: Yes.

Is it unique and distinct?

Audience: Yeah. Yes.

All right.

Now let's find a difference between you and the rest of the people in your row.

Audience: Yeah. Yep.

Can you find that difference?

Audience: (laughter; various responses) All right.

Now let's find a difference between you and the people in the room.

Audience: (various responses)

Got that?

Now let's find a difference between the people in your row and the people in the row next to it.

Is there one?

Audience: Yes.

Is there one really?

Audience: Yeah.

Well, fine. Fine.

Now let's find a difference between the lower part of the room and the upper part of the room.

Audience: (various responses)

Is there a singular and remarkable difference?

Audience: Yes.

What's the difference?

Audience: People.

No people in the upper part of the room! That's fine.

Now let's consider the upper part of the room the lower part of the room.

Female voice: Sure. Sure. Can you do that easily?

Audience: (various responses) Huh?

Audience: (various responses)

Can you consider you're sitting on the ceiling?

Audience: (various responses)

All right. Fine.

Let's consider now that you're sitting on the floor.

Audience: Okay.

Male voice: Plop. All right.

Now let's consider you're sitting on the ceiling.

Audience: (various responses)

All right.

Now just for novelty, let's consider you're sitting on the floor.

Audience: Okay. Floor. The floor.

All right.

Now let's consider, just for novelty, that you're sitting on the ceiling. No, so that it's commonplace that you're sitting on the ceiling.

Audience: (various responses)

You get the idea of you're sitting on the ceiling, and that if you fell you would go down there?

Audience: (laughter)

Can you get this easily, that if you fell you'd go down there? Can you get that?

Audience: (various responses)

Well, fine.

Now let's consider that if you fell, you would fall to the floor.

Male voice: Ow!

Now let's consider that if you fell you would fall to the ceiling.

Female voice: Oh.

Male voice: Altogravity.

Now, can you consider now you're all sitting upside down?

Audience: Mm-hm.

Huh?

Female voice: Right.

Can you consider that easily?

Audience: Yeah. Mm-hm.

All right.

That's a good place to end the session, isn't it?

Audience: (laughter)

All right.

Now let's consider you're sitting right side up. Just for fun, let's consider you're sitting right side up, that the room is right side up and that Earth is beneath you.

You got that?

Audience: Yeah.

Huh? Can you do that?

Audience: Yes. Yeah.

Well, now let's consider that Earth is sitting above you.

Audience: (various responses)

You get a rolly-coaster sort of feeling?

Audience: (various responses)

All right.

Now let's just suppose that Earth is sitting under you - can you do that?

Audience: Yes.

That you are sitting in this room.

Audience: Yes.

That you are sitting in a chair.

Audience: Yes.

Good.

And that you are sitting in a body.

Male voice: Yes. We can do that.

Can you do that?

Audience: Yes.

All right.

Now let's consider that you're in good condition.

Male voice: Yes.

Can you do that?

Audience: Yes. Sure.

All right.

And now let's consider it's end of session. Thank you very much.

Thank you.
