HAVINGNESS

EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAINWASHING

A lecture given on 2 September 1956A lecture given on 2 September 1956

Thank you.

You know, we've had a — we've had an interesting time here for six years, haven't we?

Thank you.

Audience: Yeah!

I take it that the congress has started.

Oh, heck, we've had a more interesting time than that.

Audience: Yeah!

And I hope that's nothing compared to the interesting time we're going to have for the next six.

You might wonder about what this is, but over in England — over in England where all American styles go but from which American styles used to come, we find that most professional men — clubmen, sports and that sort of thing — they wear blazers with pocket badges. And we couldn't be outdone by that and so we up and got a blazer with a pocket badge.

Now, I want to clarify something. People have been walking up to staff members and they've been saying, "What's all this about Ron says he's all through with research? Yeah, I've heard that before. Isn't true."

We couldn't get them made anywhere in the Western Hemisphere for anything reasonable, so we got the badges made in Hong Kong, China. Very, very interesting — clear from Hong Kong.

Well, that isn't essentially what I said. I said the critical point of research — I didn't say this, but let me be very clear, concise — the critical point of research has passed. It actually has. It was critical up to a relatively few weeks ago when I finally got in the returns on what processes were doing to cases of various types here and there in various auditors' hands.

The international character of Scientology then, you see, is all squared up. Here I am on an American stage with a British jacket with a badge from Hong Kong, China, you see?

Given indoctrination — thorough indoctrination and in particular what we call High School Indoctrination of the type that those attending the ACC will get, I don't believe now — I know I have said this before; I'm telling you a fact now — I don't believe now that there is a case that is still breathing that talks the language that you happen to be speaking, or not, as the case may be, that can actually remain in a status quo under modern auditing. I really don't believe there is such a case. Now, that's no dare. That's not myself talking. I would have told you this years ago. Because I don't know any cases I couldn't crack.

Speaking of the international character of Scientology, I have pointed out the fact that you have to mock up a Canadian flag there. And back here, there's a couple of flags that are in error; not very large error, but there are a couple of flags that are in error. This one, because we are really not a member of the United Nations. The fact of the matter is that no petition has been made to the United Nations to include us as a chartered organization of that organization. We do not have a delegate in the United Nations at this time. We're processing them first!

But I'm now speaking of the auditor who is well trained and knows his business, and cases have actually ceased to give them a bad time.

Well, I guess you — I guess you have decided that you're here and the congress has started and it's a very, very good thing that you're here in such a complacent frame of mind because I haven't got anything to talk to you about today. I have talked myself out, completely!

It becomes an interesting — very, very interesting consideration of how long is it going to take — how long is it going to take to crack a case. That's a problem: How long is it going to take? What are we going to be able to do with this number of hours?

First I blew out the PA system 100 percent. Now I'm blowing my voice out.

And from where I sit, and I am sure in the next few months you will find this to be a reality, I don't know now how tough a case would have to be because I haven't seen one.

Actually, it isn't very difficult to talk here in this hall, aside from the fact that the pillars kick back the voice, but we'll work on the pillars perhaps a little bit more today and they'll be gone!

Here's a fascinating thing. A case can be awfully resistant in one way or the other, but when you're — can unlock resistance itself, you find the resistance was resisting the preclear also and he's very happy to have this unlocked.

So, wherever we get together like this, however, if I talk to you for a few minutes I sort of get the idea that there might be something I could say to you that would have some small value — perhaps of no great extent. And just saying I didn't have anything to talk to you about reminded me that I have never really talked to you about havingness.

Well, therefore, if you can — if you can unlock the resistance that he is putting up to having his case washed up, well, wonderful. It would be good roads and good weather. He doesn't argue with you, that's all. He just doesn't argue with you.

Now, the funny part of it is, is I had to talk to you about game conditions and solids before I could talk to you about havingness. So, you see that there might be something that we have yet to learn about this subject of havingness if it is preceded by games and preceded by solids and the Know to Mystery Scale.

Now, it should — it should be rather encouraging to you. We've had a lot of cases around dragging their heels. They shouldn't, not now, and I hope they won't.

All right. Do you want to hear something about havingness?

As far as future research is concerned, as far as the tomorrow of auditing results are concerned, the situation is sufficiently in place that we have passed the critical point.

Audience: Yeah!

In other words, there are people who believe that the only direction they can now pursue is down! You got that? Their upswing or ability to recover is doubted by them. Do you get that point of doubt?

It's quite a peculiar subject — peculiar subject.

Well, when you run a modern process on them a great change takes place because he realizes he can get well, and that is an awfully high point of realization. He might not realize it for eight or ten hours, but he will find it out, and after that he knows there is something on Earth which can pull him out of the mire. Now, that in itself is a terribly heartening thing — very, very heartening, very wonderful thing.

Since Havingness appeared on our scene as a process by accident, it was obvious that masses had something to do with the state of health of a pre-clear. But we thought so little of Havingness just seven months ago that we dropped it almost entirely from our memories and knowledge. We just forgot to put it on the list.

People for years have been — well, at a low case level have been sort of held in place, not slipping any further. Well, we're at a point in research where there is a point of return and they can start up again. It's quite remarkable.

Now I had — I've always told students in the ACC Course — of course, I have told them so doggone many things — often, probably from their view-point, so contradictory, so unreconcilable with any other data, that they sometimes don't cognite on them for a year or two. We get long comm lags on this sort of thing here. Very interesting.

Now, what does this mean to Scientology? Well, it means first a much broader reality on the part of the professional auditor regarding his own capabilities because the processes today have crossed a boundary which is most astonishing.

But Havingness itself is one of these peculiar, peculiar things. We didn't even get upset when people were not remedying havingness for a while. And I didn't even notice there was anything gone out of our processing tools — hey, that's pretty good. I said "processing" this time. That's pretty good. You know, I must be in America!

We could have said a few months ago — did intimate it — that auditing should not be restimulative. Nobody should go downhill simply because he was auditing. Well, that has turned to this degree and an important degree it is. Auditing has taken the turn today where it is therapeutic.

Well, we didn't even notice there was anything gone from our processing tools until Julia started shipping over the tons of tests she ships me every week and the London Director of Processing started unloading me some more tests, and there was nothing happening in these tests! And for a week, two weeks, three weeks — and I said, "Practically every auditor in the HGC has suddenly gone mad! They're all breaking the Auditor's Code. Lord knows what they are running; they're probably reporting one thing and running something else. What's happening here, I don't know." But it became obvious that there was a process in Scientology that was being omitted somehow or another from the regular and routine processes generally used by the clinic.

That's a very important factor, very important. Because one of the reasons auditors start sliding out of auditing and stop professional practice is they find they can't stay in there and take the battering they've been taking from preclears. They get a run of very rough preclears and all of a sudden they have a feeling that they just don't want to audit the next one; they'd rather go out and play golf.

We used to say in ACC Courses, "When in doubt, remedy havingness. When in doubt, remedy havingness." You remember that old phrase?

All of you have had that feeling. I've had that feeling. I've had somebody walk into the office and say, "Ron, there's somebody out here and they want you to audit him." Happens fairly often. And I say — sitting there — I remember the last one, see. I say, "I'm awfully busy writing a book." And they say, "But Ron, the organization is broke."

Audience: Yes.

You know, I never get any auditing fees. I — this — aren't any auditing fees as far as I am concerned. I have the lousiest professional practice in Scientology. It's terrible! If I do any auditing it is for the purposes of research and if I have to do some auditing in the organization, I never collect a penny for it. The organization goes south with the cash. I never see it. They say, "But Ron, you know, you know, those new drinking fountains — mighty expensive." "Yeah," but I say, "I — my tires are almost off my car. I mean, can't I do something about this?" And they say, "Yes, we've got another preclear out here."

Well, evidently nobody was in doubt except the tests! And I didn't know what was wrong! It took about three months for me to square this thing around and look at it and see what process was missing.

Well, I've spent quite a few hours in an auditing chair, quite a few. Huh! Wow! Time track — time track. And by this time I've audited French, Spanish, Italians, Chinese, Negroes, Africans, English, Mexicans, Canadians, Hawaiians, Japanese — must be some other race.

When you have 10,000 processes, then you might have 10,000 things missing and the whole 10,000 processes were not being run on preclears, so it became guesswork. What had become wrong with Scientology that it suddenly wasn't working smoothly? Only a few gains here and there. No big gains were taking place. What was happening? What was gone?

Male voice: Americans.

I finally found out what was gone — Havingness. We had dropped this as a process.

Oh, yes, Americans!

Now, for those of you who have — feel a little shaky about your auditing or aren't auditors, let me tell you what we mean by Havingness. We have the preclear — the old style — mock up something like a mass and shove it into his body. This is on the rationale that people eat and people do take in masses and solids and so as we process we feel that we should make people take in masses and solids. That's — was the basic theory behind Havingness.

It has been said that I have audited more people per square yard of engram than any other auditor. This may or may not be true because I don't audit all week, every week. Somebody may have been sneaking up on this by this time.

We found out that an individual could be processed for a little while and he'd start to — he'd start to shake, get a little bit upset, twitch, get agitated. What's wrong? He's uncomfortable.

But I was auditing some people recently and I planned on having a session before I came over here to the congress so I could stand the mock-up up a little more — betterwise. And I had a very interesting session all planned. I had it all figured out, and I started to audit a preclear on very modern procedure. And I audited the preclear and I audited the preclear and I felt — I thought, "This is interesting" and I kept on auditing the preclear and I kept on auditing the preclear. And the next thing you know, why, things were clearing up all around and the slime and the dust of London was kind of going away from my theta perception and I kept auditing the preclear and I thought, "Gee-whiz. What do you know! I mean, I'm — here it is" — I better not tell you this story — a breach of the Auditor's Code — "here it is 11 o'clock at night and I'm not even tired." As a matter of fact the preclear went home — came back the next day and I audited the preclear and I audited the preclear and I audited the preclear. And the preclear shoved off about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I went out for a walk.

We processed him a little bit further without doing anything about his havingness and he would say, "You've broken the Auditor's Code. You've done something bad to me. You are telling me to do things I can't do." In other words, he'd argue and argue and start arguing. He'd get argumentive. He'd go down Tone Scale — something would happen to him.

A little — my little copper nob, Diana, she always comes around, and she says, "I want to go shopping with Dada." She knows what she's doing. She's a smart girl. He always buys her candy, you know. She's almost four now. So anyway — very bright — and she's walking along the street alongside of me and she started to run into a fruit cart. You know, busy English traffic — the English are — well, a lot of them wear glasses but I'm not sure why they do because they can't see through them. And a couple had walked past her, one on one side and one on the other side and they just spun her around. And she came out of it — and she'd been sort of half-running to keep up with me — and she tipped over and started to go into a fruit cart. So, I was about ten feet from her, so I turned her around and put her on the sidewalk and we went walking on up the street.

But, if you had him mock up or create a mental image picture containing some mass and take that mental image picture and shove it into his body, he would recover from this agitation. He would feel better. So, it became a rule after this was omitted from that and we found it again, that havingness had to be remedied.

I, all of a sudden said, "Now, wait a minute. Now, just a minute." She was chattering along madly — couldn't think. I said, "There's something to all this." So I very carefully watched some people stepping up a curb, and there was an old lady there who was about to step up on the curb and miss it. So I took her foot and put it more solidly on the curb. And I suddenly realized there isn't the least bit of difficulty controlling any number of bodies, if you do enough auditing.

We already knew about havingness. We said any time an individual began to twitch, become restive or go unconscious during processing, his havingness had been dropped or changed.

Now, very oddly, what I've just told you happens to be the truth. It hap-pens to be the truth.

Now, it isn't necessarily true that he will go unconscious during a session simply because his havingness has been dropped. Funny part of it is, is you remedy some preclear's havingness and they go unconscious and you have to say, "Come on. Come on. Mock it up. Push it in. Mock it up. Push it in." He goes dong! you see?

There's some processes today which are the best processes to run on preclears, very smooth, easy processes, best processes to run. There are ways to run them. But the auditor has to refrain from doing it. By refraining from doing it, however, he gets into an interesting situation.

"Ah. Yeah. Yeah."

Remember, in 8-C, I've often said you can monitor the preclear's body without letting him participate in the session at all? You know that? That's real wild. The auditor's sitting there and he is saying, "Go over and touch that wall." The body will — the preclear's body walks over and touches the wall. "Well, go over and touch that wall." The preclear's body goes over and touches that wall.

"Well, mock it up and push it in. Mock it up. Push it in" — dong!

You have to actually add another thing. You have to add another thing to that process in order to make it a good process. You have to say, "All right, now, go over and touch the wall." You have to say, "Who touched it? Did you touch it? Are you sure you touched the wall?" You got the idea? You have to make the fellow aware of it and build his awareness of it; otherwise, if you're pretty hot at this sort of thing, you will just simply walk this other body around and it just goes walking around. And it's a very funny thing to watch this kind of a situation. It's really remarkable!

And all of a sudden after they've done this for quite a while, they don't go buong anymore.

Now, I'm sure some of you have had this happen. We have a little process that handles an object. And we were handling this object the other day and Smokey back there said, "Well, it must have been telepathy or something. But the fellow said that just before he intended to stop it — I told him to stop it — but just before I said stop it, his hand stopped it. I tried to tell Smokey that there was a distinct possibility that he had done enough of the process so that he had to start avoiding this sort of thing, otherwise, auditing session would consist of Smokey sitting there running this other body, see. You have to get in there and get the other fellow aware that he's running his own body and then he gets well.

I'll give you an example of the use of this: I had a preclear who had a totally black field. This is called an "occluded case" — actually should be called a "black case" or a "lightless case."

Now, that sounds spooky, doesn't it? That sounds bad. That sounds like a terrible invasion of privacy! It sounds like one interrupts the preclear's self-determinism, doesn't it? Well, at a certain level of case, you can ask this nasty question. What self-determinism? I'm afraid out of self-defense pre-clears being audited will have to get better!

Tell a person to close his eyes, he sees a blackness that is not the blackness simply occasioned by his eyelids. Actually, eyelids are blackish but slightly red to most preclears. So, if he closes his eyes and doesn't see any-thing, if you ask — that's very funny — you ask most people, you say, "Close your eyes." The person closes his eyes. You say, "What do you see?"

You could take all that with a grain of salt if you want to. It's worse than that except you wouldn't believe me. When you start picking up old ladies' feet and putting them on curbs, making horses walk sideways just to embarrass a mounted policeman; when you start putting on the other drivers' brakes and stopping all traffic on the side streets, whether there are stop signs or not, just so you could go through, I'd say we are absolutely ruining self-determinism. And it's about time somebody got pan-determined!

He says, "Nothing!"

You know, they tell a story about the wolves and the rabbits. Somebody comes along and he gets a bunch of rabbits and he makes them into wolves, see. And then these rabbits over here have got to become wolves, too. As soon as they become wolves then these do and then somebody comes back here and makes a superwolf. And then these wolves in order to get along have to be superwolves. Isn't that a horrible thing to happen? Well, it would be horrible if you were making wolves but we're not in that business!

And you say, "That's good! That's fine! Good! Now, what do you see?" "Nothing."

The only time I've seen preclears fight and start to become wolves and start to be very upset about the whole thing — you could practically see lycanthropy coming like sparks up above their ears — they are just about to bare their teeth and really get going — was when you were collecting your auditing fee. This has — this has a certain restimulative action on some preclears. But naturally, now it is very easy for an auditor to do that. He just reaches into the fellow's pocket and . . . No, it's not as bad as that.

"Come on. What are you looking at?"

Do you know actually, it's — there's something funny that I had to tell people over in England, but I had to tell them this because it's a fantastic — an utterly fantastic situation. You think it's possible to make people worse, don't you? You think it's possible to make people worse by auditing. We learned something in 1950 and I see some faces in this room that will confirm this. As terrible as the auditing was, it was better than no auditing!

"Nothing."

I sat down one day to find out what this was all about. And you know what I discovered? Man is basically good. I hate to tell you this, since good and bad are apparently merely adjectives and considerations as we have often said. Well then why is it that a man will go toward good but not toward bad? I don't know. I don't know that.

"Well, just try. Just look, will you? What do you see?"

In order to change a person, you have to make him better. And that is the total success of Dianetics and Scientology, owing to the fact that they went on a reverse vector to every other psychotherapy and activity in the mind that was ever advanced or invented. That's an interesting point. We went straight reverse.

If he's doing this, he then normally says, "Blackness. I do see blackness."

Now, don't tell me — don't try to tell me that we should be charitable. Don't, please, tell me I should be charitable. I'm so damned tired of being charitable! Charity begins at home.

And it doesn't come to him as a surprise that he is looking at something when he never has looked at anything before. He is in such a state that he isn't looking at anything. First thing he sees when he starts to see is blackness.

I recently made a study, and published it in a PAB and I'm sure quite a few of you have seen it already, called, A Critique of Psychoanalysis. Male voice: Yeah, yeah.

What is this blackness? It's actually masses of energy which are a total effect on the thetan on which he has little or no effect. Do you follow me? He has little or no effect on the blackness, the blackness has a great deal of effect on him, so he then and there puts the consideration into consistent practice that it is all black and there's nothing he can do about it.

Now, you probably thought I was just being mean. Actually, the reason I had to write that was to tell auditors something about what made cases go a bit off beam, to tell auditors what was bad auditing. And I found out that all of the things — I think there were some ten things psychoanalysis does. I got a letter of protest from Sweden on that PAB. I got another one, a letter of protest from Switzerland and got another letter of protest from Vienna, Austria, all of which were incomprehensibly stupid in their real — in their rationalization of the subject.

Actually there are energy masses of a mental sort sitting in his skull and around in front of his face and they are black and they are almost indestructible. When you try to get a preclear to chew one of these things up or do something to these things, he has great difficulty. You've all had experience with this. It's because the blackness has normally put him in a no-game condition.

The only criticisms I got on it were indecipherable. I don't care what language they were written in. It was something on the basis of "Freud was a kind man. And everybody was a kind man. And the sublimation of the ego self is the real self and that isn't the self because the self is the self is the id is the self is the real self." This is just about the way they read. "And you haven't any right to criticize because to criticize because to criticize because to criticize. Sincerely yours." Boy, have they been analyzed!

Well, give you an old Remedy of Havingness — an old-time Remedy of Havingness. You ask somebody to mock up something and shove it into his body. Mock up something else, shove it into his body.

But you would think immediately that I published those things to indicate that psychoanalysis was making people sick! I didn't say that. I merely said it was dishonest and it would keep a case from advancing and it would make a case feel sort of funny in auditing if they were done.

You never did a complete Remedy of Havingness. Later on Remedy of Havingness meant you mock up something and shove it into his body. You mock up something and shove it — throw it away. Mock up something and shove it in. Mock up something and throw it away. That was a complete Remedy of Havingness — we could do both of these.

But there is, it seems, a sort of a mechanism about the mind that when it finds out it is being abused it cuts the circuit. That's an interesting thing. This is so much the case that short of surgery or the installation of an engram directly, so-called therapeutic measures are actually powerless to materially injure a mind. The only thing they can do is make the person a little more careful or a little more worried or a little more upset. But as far as actually injuring his IQ and his intelligence profile, they can't do it.

But the early nomenclature simply said a Remedy of Havingness — he mocked up something and shoved it into his body.

Three to five years of psychoanalysis — and I have this on very, very bad authority (a psychoanalytic report) — demonstrated no worsening of cases by reason of having been analyzed over that period of time. No betterment but no worsening.

All right. I've taken a preclear who was totally black, as far as the field is concerned, couldn't see anything but blackness. The blackness was a quality and character of black basalt. And we expected this preclear to be able to do something with mental image pictures, to see engrams, to do this, to do that. Very interesting — he couldn't do any of these things at all. Why? Because he couldn't really see what he was doing. He had a black screen in front of his face and this blackness acted very badly on any processing efforts that we made.

There are a lot of people who commit suicide after analysis, I am told. But the funny part of it is, is they simply delayed the suicide until they found out that analysis didn't work either. So you can't even really assign a suicide to analysis.

Well, I have had a preclear on whom no other process to recover vision from all this occlusion — I've had a preclear actually go through this sort of an action. (Nothing else had ever touched this person's blackness.) "Mock up a black mass and shove it into the body."

*[Editor's Note: A copy of the Professional Auditor's Bulletin referred to here can be found in Volume III of the Technical Bulletins Volumes as PAB 92 of 10 July 1956 and its continuation at PAB 93 of ''24 July 1956.]

"Mock up a black mass and shove it into the body."

If anybody says we have a large rack of suicides and deaths and casualties and so forth, boy, are they spreading propaganda. Let me guarantee some-thing to you, if we'd had a lot of that sort of thing I would have heard about it.

"Mock up a black mass and shove it into the body."

Years ago there were two or three — three or four political deaths, you might say — politics: people arguing with people and so forth over the relative merits of this and that and it got messed up that way.

"Mock up a black mass and shove it into the body."

The only death, I think, that ever occurred in the eastern area occurred on the part of a boy who came into the New York Foundation to be — to receive some Dianetic auditing. We had a psychiatrist there who was on duty, because the publisher there in New York said that that was the legal thing to have. And anybody who came in and looked a bit desperate or something of the sort would be a mental case and therefore should be interviewed by the psychiatrist. He went in, saw the psychiatrist, the psychiatrist said there was nothing could be done. The psychiatrist told the auditor in question that he wasn't to audit him and they sent the boy back out of the Foundation, and he went home and killed himself. That happened in New York City. It was smoothed over very quietly but there's no particular reason to smooth it over because we didn't kill him. That was an interesting thing.

The preclear had a great deal of trouble with it, went anaten, went upset, did this for fifteen minutes and during the entire fifteen minutes I don't believe the preclear was actually conscious more than one or two of those minutes, but yet was going on with the process even though completely unconscious.

He was turned away from being helped. He was in a frame of mind to commit suicide; somebody told him he ought to go down to the Foundation and get some help. He went down and ran into a psychiatrist. It was a dirty trick to pull on a man, wasn't it? Boy, I had that psychiatrist out of there so fast, he's probably still running. No, that's about the only casualty I know of in the East Coast. That's a pretty terrific record for all the God knows how many people have been handled and audited in Dianetics and Scientology, believe me.

And at the end of this time, all of a sudden the black field changed and I had the preclear doing mock-ups. The preclear then did very brilliant mock-ups and I did another couple of processes and the preclear was able actually to get rid of energy.

You must understand they are different subjects.

By the way, it was very amusing, the process used to have the preclear get rid of something — everything snapped in on this preclear only — the process used to make this preclear get rid of something was to — oh, I'll tell you, first the mock-ups were just that big.

The difficulties that psychotherapy had were not the difficulties really of bad treatment but of not helping. Do I make a point there? It wasn't that the treatment was terribly harmful. It's that their hope, raised, was never answered. And it was so poorly responded to that there was no further hope and they occasionally committed suicide and knocked off and did things like that. But they were simply on a waiting period and cases didn't worsen actually because of it.

I finally said, "How big are these mock-ups?"

As nearly as I can find out, even an expert auditor a few months ago could not have worsened a case. He could have worked at it. He could have done funny things to it. But you know, I actually conducted a series of experiments — I have in three different occasions conducted a series of experiments to find out how you could mess up people. Volunteers — they knew I could pull them out of it. We went ahead and tried to get a real flat-out mess and we've never succeeded.

"Ah, they are pretty good size. They're that big."

Well, I tell you, some of those tests are really grim. Some of those tests are just too grim to — huh, wow! Have a fellow take an IQ test. Then he sits over here on the couch. Gets pushed back into birth, run halfway through, invalidated, evaluated for, restimulated and struck. Then he's set down in this chair over here to do an IQ test and he does better!

I says, "We'll see if we can't get them just a little bit bigger."

You can say, well, the intention in that room was pretty good and he responded to it but, no, the fellow's intention was really to get worse. We found out eventually we were adding to their havingness and improving their intelligence and profiles in just that wise. We were restimulating engrams and this made them smarter.

And we started building them up and they finally got to be life-size, and had the preclear do several innocent things, mock up various innocent devices of one kind or another, you know, images, and push them in, do things with them.

Now this is — this is a fact. You go before a class. You explain to them all about birth, prenatals and backtrack and everything else, you'd think you'd just spin them in. Well, once in a while you have somebody there who has a game of spinning. You know, this person lived this kind of a life before that. Mother came in, dusted off the top of the table. "Oh, you've killed me."

And then had the preclear mock up an elephant and the preclear was perfectly happy to mock up this elephant. The elephant at first was this big, the second time this big and then it got this big and then it got to be an elephant, see?

They were at school and the teacher dusted some chalk off the board and sat there and said, "Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh." Auditor comes in the room. They say, "You've broken the code."

When the — when the elephant was sufficiently big that the preclear was not comfortable, I said, "Now have the elephant walk away."

And he says, "How did I do that?"

The preclear had the elephant walk away. He said, "He is having a dreadful time getting through the door." The elephant managed that. Boy, were barriers real to this preclear.

"Now you've invalidated me."

He said, "He's having an awful time now with the front door. He can't manage the knob." The elephant walked out on the street.

You stand up in front of them and give a lecture on electronic-type engrams and they say, "Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh," same one. In other words, we assume this person goes "Huh, huh, huh, huh." So what?

And I said, "Now, just have him keep on walking."

Well, we ran another series of tests. We wanted to find out how bad instruction was. This was out in Phoenix. Some of you people right here were part of this.

He was out of sight by this time and the preclear said, "Yes." And I said, "Well now, have you gotten rid of something?"

We practically did nothing to one whole unit but teach them. Did a little Group Processing — didn't amount to anything — and then just taught them. Taught them anything; I lectured to them about anything I could think of. And when they all finished up they were all better and it was a more successful group than groups which had indulged in auditing.

And the preclear said, "Hey! What do you know!"

So we went ahead to find out further how bad it was to restimulate people with Scientology data. We set out overtly to do this — audit for twenty minutes, evaluate for twenty minutes, audit for another twenty minutes, evaluate for another twenty minutes — on volunteer preclears. They wanted to die. They tried hard and didn't make it. They got better! They actually got better.

And we had more elephants walk away and camels walk away and finally we got down to where anything would walk away and we finally got to the point where the preclear could mock up a mental image picture and push it in with great ease or mock up a mental image picture — the preclear could take it and just go phewww! and away it was gone. In other words, the pre-clear could throw it away and pull it in. Now that was a total Remedy of Havingness.

Of course, evaluation isn't too bad unless it contains a lot of contradiction — invalidation along with it. But we actually did inform them of this and that.

What happened to that preclear's processing? This preclear began to make progress for the first time. Up to that time only little, tiny things had taken place and none of these things were really real. Somebody else could see that the preclear no longer had a toothache or something but the preclear wouldn't admit it.

Now, we've taken somebody — we've given them some book like What to Audit. You know, that book's name — real name should be now What Not to Audit. But, oh no, I beg your pardon — I just thought of something. That book at one time was, What to Audit and then for a while was What Not to Audit and is now What to Audit. Yeah, book title finally came due.

In other words, this preclear was in one of these almost total no-game conditions — game conditions. You see? That was Scientology theory applied to the case.

Anyway, person starts reading this book, you know, "Gee, gee, the Bouncer — the jumper — the Clam." Person says, "Ohhhhh, what horrible somatics I've got. Ohhhh, man — I've ju — . Boy, I'm stuck in something."

Well now, that's very interesting. A person should be able to handle his mental image pictures. If he cannot, they handle him.

Unfortunately, stuck in something he is smarter and has a better profile than not stuck. We've given him the book to read — given a preclear, that is to say, a volunteer, What to Audit to read — with four or five people, unbeknownst to him that they were part of the test, telling him, "Oh, man, you don't want to read that. Now, look — now, for once Ron's gone too far. He's gone too far. He wants you to read that late at night without having eaten any supper."

Now, that just gives you an idea of an old-time Remedy of Havingness. It's workable.

We've gone too far now — and actually say that they were going to protest to me about it — and got the person nice and worried. So it was about all that somebody else could do to push him into the experiment. You know, "You volunteered. It's too bad. You can't go back on it now. You know, mankind and all that."

Auditors have very often avoided this with some disaster. I'll tell you part of the disasters which could occur.

So, person read it, got restimulated, got very upset, took an after-test and it was better than the former test. I don't know, what are you going to do with these people? Person, of course, is basically running on the postulate that Scientology makes people well so he just gets well. They don't know how to do anything else, I guess!

A preclear is run on figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure, you know, "All right. Now get a concept. Get an idea. Get a concept. Get another idea. Now change the idea. Now get a concept. Get an idea. Get a concept. Get an idea."

It's very funny, though, the mind puts brakes on. You can smell the rubber. When it feels it's getting into too much trouble and that it isn't getting competently handled, it just puts the brakes on, restimulates, pulls itself out of it and so on — fights like mad with the auditor and he insists on going on, pushes the person into it bodily with a thud. You just don't — it just doesn't get there, that's all. There has to be ARC in auditing or it doesn't occur. You all know that. Auditing doesn't occur in the absence of ARC. It doesn't occur at the behest of a club.

Those are all think processes, see. They lie below solids.

All right. We conclude and concluded by many tests that teaching people the data of Scientology was not aberrative. We had to ascertain this. Once in a while we used to get — before we had indoctrination courses — bad auditing in HCA schools.

But thinkingness as-ises solids! Thought destroys solids!

Now, I know this is a very discreditable thing to have and I would — I hate to have to tell you about it but I have to because there's so many of you here who have had rotten auditing in HCA schools. That's true, isn't it?

A preclear starts thinking a little bit, he'll think a little bit more. Why? He thinks a hole in his head.

Audience: Yeah.

Let me show you exactly how that is. He really does think a hole in his head.

Pretty grim some of it. You know, we finally got to a point though where we realized with modern training — that these auditors trained modernly don't know how bad it can get. In the absence of school auditing, they never learn. But modern school auditing done after indoctrination, so forth, has very definitely minimized if not entirely eradicated this factor.

You'll get this whole basic mechanism here. Here's a preclear. Nice comfortable preclear with a lot of vision. It's in — he's in there. He's in there someplace. There's the preclear. He's fairly comfortable. He's got all that nice mass next to him.

But back when we were getting real bad auditing on occasion, somebody would come in — he'd run, oh I don't know, a little this and a little of that and a little of something else and call it what he was doing and the preclear would get real upset and we'd get protests on it one way or the other.

So he says, "Well," he says, "there must be something wrong because I don't see all there is to see and I feel impatient and I worry once in a while."

And we would have profiles on students. And when one of these profiles would drop, we had to know this answer: Were these profiles dropping because of the data the person was taught or because of the auditing the person was receiving? A dropping profile — terrible thing, awful thing. Profile is going down from where the person had been put by Scientology and we learned that a person can lose gains he makes in Scientology auditing by more Scientology auditing, but the livingness of two or three years doesn't decrease the result. This is goofy, you know.

An auditor comes along and he says, "All right. You worry once in a while, huh? All right. Well now, think of a — of a — something to worry about."

Only Scientology auditing can undo Scientology auditing but not even Scientology auditing can make a case worse than it was when you first saw it. I don't know, I mean, I'm just giving you the data. It doesn't have to be reasonable. It's true.

The preclear does.

In other words, we pick the case up down here on the graph and we audited him up here. And — oh, a preclear of ours — now he's getting training and we get him an IQ test or something halfway through training and he's here. In other words, he's now only this high above where he was originally. He was there. In other words, he's lost some of his Scientology gain. That's what he loses.

The auditor says, "Worry about it."

And we found out that teaching him anything in the way of Scientology data is powerless to decrease his profile level. Teach him anything you want to. You can say — of course, you don't teach the public this if you want them to stay in class along with you on a group course.

The preclear does.

But supposing you said, "Well, I don't know. You have lived before. The proof of the matter is that probably at any given instant you could shut your eyes and see your last dead body before it."

The auditor says, "Now think of something else to worry about." The preclear does.

And the fellow would say, "Hey, that's right! Boy, is that a horrible death. Say, you know, Instructor, that was a horrible death."

All of a sudden something peculiar happens — a new energy mass of some sort or another turns up and pulls in on the preclear. What essentially has happened? The preclear thought a hole in his head.

I don't care what you teach them. Doesn't matter. Because the totality of aberration is not know — not-knownness — it is unknowingness and anything he finds out about himself, anything he finds out about the track, any truth he learns about life pulls him up scale! And because he has some mechanism in him that knows what a lie is, he doesn't buy them.

Here he is here, see, and he has started to do this. Well, what have we got here? We have an area of no mass sitting in the area of mass and there's pressure out here. Get it?

He can go down scale from having played too many games too long — the games then becoming unknown. That's how far he can go down scale and he does go down scale over long periods of time and terrific duress.

So, what's the final result of this? The final result is this: The preclear is sitting in the middle of that now. Do you see how this is? In other words, he gets solider.

The things I have discovered though that are depressing in life, I don't think you'd be able to write about them. You haven't heard anything really this horrible on this planet.

A preclear is — boy, there is nothing more like a thetan than a thetan. They try to get themselves into more trouble than they're in, if you give them half a chance on the reasoning and belief that if they get into enough trouble they won't be in any trouble. Only nobody has ever found bottom on the amount of trouble you can get in.

The stuff that is on the backtrack of the preclear is of such major nature that the little old "tiddlywink" games he's been playing for the last two or three thousand years — except for some of the majesty of Rome, that was fun — aren't aberrative. And you teach him something about his backtrack, he pulls up a picture here and he pulls up one there and he says, "Whee! Look at the picture of the rocket" — boom! "I have a somatic." And he actually feels better for at least knowing that there was a possibility that it happened to him, than not knowing about it at all! How do you like that? Isn't that a terrible thing?

You know, the old song — the words of "Turkey in the Straw." The fellow lost everything and a cyclone came and took the house and barn away and then a tax collector — he's lost everything by this time — and a tax collector came around and charged him up with a hole in the ground. Well, that's essentially what happens here. See?

Now, with terrific duress, torture, getting maimed and — he loses the whole planet and he falls through space for 18,000 years and then he's put to work plastering one wall for the next 10,000 years and if he leaves that wall, why, they have a little piece of his flesh in a vat up in headquarters and all they have to do is stick a pin in it and he says, "Ow!" and he reports back. Well, that's sort of rough, you know in a mild sort of whole track way, that's sort of rough.

He's thought a hole in his head. That's all. And the pressure vectors — it's quite mechanical, it's just like handling bread dough or something — finally winds him up twice as pushed in and only half as able; and yet that's evidently a very fine process. It's — evidently restores the preclear's power of choice and his ability to decide and everything.

But that's the past of your preclear, not "Well, when I was a little boy — when I was a little boy, an older girl — she said a nasty word to me and that's why I'm crazy." Oh yeah?

"You worry, huh? All right, well, think of something to worry about. Good. Now worry about it."

So anything he learns about himself or life that he knows is true, that he has the feel of truth about it, actually makes him feel better.

It doesn't work. Why? Because — I'll tell you what's wrong with thinkingness: Thinking!

The actual livingness at Lord knows what duress makes him feel worse and it just takes hundreds and hundreds of years to push a guy down scale. That is our finding. It's an important finding. Does psychoanalysis — you mean sitting on a couch and lying about all the — well, lying has — that aberrates somebody? No. No. It does not.

Now, if you could just run out thinking without thinking you could stop him from worrying. And you can. You can. You can run out thinking without thinking.

I don't even know if it hurts a thetan to have his prefrontal lobes cut out. We had a fellow come in one day with no prefrontal lobes and we audited him after a while. And he forgot about having no prefrontal lobes and he was as good as anybody else. That's the truth. We actually did that right here at the HGC in Washington. Putting the shock to somebody, pouring the juice to them. Nah! So they dance around for a while and they feel bad. When we get ahold of them, they're a little more explosive than other cases.

Here he is, we've got him down to this now. Now let's get him down a little further and have him mock up a black mass out here — he's here, see — and push that in. Mock up another black mass. Push that in. Mock up another mass out here. Push that in. First thing you know we at least got him back up to this. He didn't have to think to do that, did he?

One of the reasons we consistently fail on psychos is because they keep — we don't — we don't treat psychos, we're not in that business. We are not equipped to handle psychos and other people keep shooting them with the needle, you know. You know, pick them up, dope them up, give them a shock, something like that, and then they are dumped back on the auditor again. He all of a sudden says, "What's the matter with him?"

And the next thing you know, you have him — if you are very good and you work at Havingness very well and you run Havingness of the physical universe and Havingness of the bank both, you get him into this interesting condition.

"Oh, I don't know. He just . . ." So on. The auditor finds out he's been in eighteen institutions, that sort of thing. He didn't know this. He can't protect himself. There is no way really for an auditor to protect himself thoroughly against having a psycho pushed off on him which he then is expected to audit. It's not his business. He shouldn't be in that business! Yet there is no law which protects a person — there is no law which says, "It is against the law to walk in and ask for educational ability or spiritual guidance" or some-thing like that "when you really want psychotherapeutic treatment." There is no law like that. The reverse is the law. We don't — we don't care about this law one way or the other, we think it's for the birds.

I am now going to draw you a picture of a preclear who is out of this mess. There. There he is.

Every psychiatrist — I'm not talking psychiatrists down. I know you don't like me to cuss psychiatrists. I mean I really know that. I really do. You don't like me to cuss psychiatrists. You think it's beneath my dignity and I want to thank you for it.

But the funny part of it is, is when he wanted to get out of this mess, he got into that. So, when we simply gave him more mess, we got that. Do you follow me?

But we get into this for an excellent reason that it exists and it's part of life, this little game called, "Ruin them." It's part of life. And if we're in a position where we're so weak-headed that we feel that we must avoid this part of life and that part of life, the first thing you know life will say, "It's avoiding me — sluuuuuup," and we'll all be psychiatrists, and I wouldn't wish that off on you. So we have to cuss them a little bit.

So, that by apparently pushing him down scale with the exact situation he is in, too much mass, we actually bring him back up scale again.

But the finding is a very, very interesting finding and a strange commentary on a line in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, a very strange commentary. It said, "Man is basically good." The duress required to make man worse is so tremendous that I do not believe there is known to the communist today, as he operated in the Korean War, any technique that would have worsened the IQ or actual ability of a human being.

When he — we let him think, he tries to go in the direction of less mass directly. He's in a no-game condition here. Everything is having an effect on him. He's having an effect on nothing. We have him think and he goes into a further no-game condition because he himself is not creating the thing which is victimizing him.

Now, you've heard about brainwashing. I happened recently to have gotten hold of the totality of information contained in the book written by Pavlov for Stalin and which hitherto has never been outside the doors of the Kremlin. I have that book. I've tried to boil it down and write it simply because it is an interesting book. It tells the researches of one man. And I can't write that bad! I actually can't. You think I'm fooling. I can't write this book. I can't boil it down. I all of a sudden start filling in all the missing pieces. No, that's right. You would too! You would!

And that is the basic rule of the whole of auditing. You make the pre-clear create what is victimizing him. And he's not being victimized by thought; he's being victimized by masses he cannot control. So you have him make some — up some masses and put them under his control. Now, that's the theoretical fundamental of Havingness. Do you understand that?

You know so much more about the mind than this guy did that you'd start writing and you'd say, "Boy, did he miss it there. Well, it really is this way. And then it . . ." And I've started that thing about four different times trying to make a quick synopsis of it to select out the salient pieces on which Pavlov operated because I think it might be of interest to people. And I just pick it up and throw it on the back of the desk. I just can't do it. One of these days I'll be less of a prima donna with my pen.

Audience: Yes.

No, but actually that's true. This book is mentioned, by the way in — I think his name is — Edward Hunter's book on brainwashing, which is currently selling here in the United States. And this book is a fascinating book. It's about 400 pages long and it tells how all of Pavlov's experiments on dogs could be applied to human beings in order to produce a certain given result and that is the text of the book.

The preclear believes fondly that what is wrong with him is, let us say, that ceiling. It is so solid. He can't duplicate it. It can't duplicate him.

That book never left the Kremlin. Pavlov was not permitted to leave the Kremlin while he was writing that book and he was later more or less held in arrest but he didn't realize it to the end of his life. And they started using this in the spy — not the spy trials but the trials of communist officials. Remember, back in the 30s, all of a sudden the world was startled at all these top Russian leaders confessing to everything? Well, I don't know whether they did or not. Nobody has confessed on this pattern since — or using the same material. And nobody did it in the Korean War.

You have to push him up to a point of where he himself can create the ceiling before the ceiling doesn't ever worry him anymore. Why? It's a game condition.

Along with that I have a summation ... I wanted to write a little book called — a technical book on brainwashing, and the only reason I wanted to write this book is because it is not effective. Brainwashing is not effective. I repeat that. It is not effective. It does not do a job.

Now, the first rule I gave you is a rule out of old Creative Processing: Whatever is wrong with the preclear, make him do it. Remember? It doesn't matter what's wrong with the preclear, make him do it.

Evidently a certain small percentage of people can be driven mad if you sneeze at them, but they're mad already. And on these people brainwashing works. But it's such a small percentage that it's hardly worth bothering with.

Now, there was an old field of — I don't know what it was, say, it was phrenology, I think it's named — and they went so far as to say, "He has to do what he is afraid of doing or he has to do what he is upset about doing."

The number of man-hours concerned in brainwashing one human being is about twice as many hours as were consumed by a Dianetic preclear in 1950! Two or three thousand.

See, that's almost right. You'll find top sergeants subscribe to this. A fellow is afraid of climbing a flagpole and the first thing the sergeant thinks of is to make him climb the flagpole. See? Unfortunately, it's not therapeutic. It works sufficiently often to give it credence, but it's not really therapeutic. Every now and then somebody dies of heart failure. Of course, that's nothing to a sergeant!

Now, look-a-here, what are we all spooking about this thing called brain-washing for? It's a hoax — a hoax of the first order of magnitude. The communist can't brainwash anybody that isn't brainwashed. He can't do it; he doesn't know how.

But here we have this condition and if we merely knew that you make the preclear create what is wrong with him — if you just do that — you'd think he'd get out of anything then, wouldn't you? But that's not the story. I wish I could just say that, but that was a fallacy we had for years and it was a mistake — it was an error. It was an error of magnitude because it put the emphasis on creativeness and that is not where the emphasis should be. The emphasis should be on playingness.

Now, you could doubt this because you've heard an awful lot about these terrible duresses of brainwashing and you even heard it from me and you heard it from other people but I had to get down and look. So I — having looked — I might as well tell you that I picked the cover of it up and peeked under the edge of it and found something about as — well, I suppose it's much more dangerous to put small firecrackers in your mouth and light them. It's probably much more dangerous than to get brainwashed.

Now, why was he upset about being in the middle of a mass?

They did such a bad job and they know so little about the mind that it makes a Scientologist just go, "No! No! We ought to get over and show those guys how!"

You mean to tell me that a thetan is going to be upset about being in the middle of a black mass? I've been in black masses, maybe you have too. They didn't upset you.

Brainwashing. This book I was going to write was a summation of the actual effects that it had on cases. You see, I knew a lot of Japanese war prisoners. In the last part of the war and so forth, I was actually interviewing quite a number of Japanese war prisoners as they were returned from prison camps. I was interviewing these chaps and taking down their experiences. They weren't being brainwashed. They were simply starved. Japanese weren't doing anything to them. They were in worse shape than the brain-washed Korean prisoner! And these guys talk about brainwashing!

Well, then what's upsetting about this? There must be some other condition that is upsetting rather than mass. Yes, there is. He has the sensation of "being done to." It's been done to him. He didn't do it. He's in, in this condition, a no-game condition. I was talking to you yesterday: no-game condition.

It's one of these propaganda weapons. That's all it is. They say, "We have this terrific weapon called brainwashing — we're going to brainwash everybody." Well it would be awfully dangerous if they could. But do you know there is practically not a person in this room that would be permanently harmed by brainwashing except as it related to being starved and kept under conditions of duress. In other words, if you put a guy into a military stockade and fed him poorly for two or three years he's going to be in secondhand condition, isn't he?

To put it into a game condition, you have to get him to make a game out of this.

Male voice: Yeah.

And now we say, "Mock up a mass and shove it in. Mock up a mass and shove it in."

Well, that's just exactly the effect brainwashing had on them. It had no more effect than this.

It worked. Why didn't it work all the time? It should have worked uniformly. If it had been wholly right, it would have worked all the time, but it didn't work all the time. Every now and then we got ahold of some black case and it didn't respond to this sort of thing, we said it wasn't real and it wasn't this and it wasn't that — a lot of critical lines because we didn't know quite what we were doing.

If I myself had not known and seen and talked to and interviewed and made the official records of many Japanese prisoners of war, I too, would have been shocked by brainwashing. But remember, the Japanese prisoner of war was not brainwashed, he was simply kept as a prisoner of war under duress, had very little food and very little rest and not much medical treatment over a period of years. And that's rough. But the Japanese prisoner of war was in worse shape than those held by Chinese communists and brain-washed for two years! That's something to think about, isn't it?

All right. The truth of the matter is you put him into a game condition of "no effect on self, effect on others" and you have him mock up these black masses and put them on other people and we find out it's one of the basic tricks of a thetan — is to put another thetan in the dark. The game has been done to him and he's stuck in a lose. You've got to make him play the same game again!

Boy, they tried. And all they succeeded in doing was making a good game which took the ennui out of being in prison!

Now, you see this business about creativeness and so forth wasn't true. See? It happened to approximate a games condition. See? Have him mock it up and shove it in isn't quite the right circumstance. Have him mock it up and put it on another thetan — a theoretical thetan — a few times does what? It continues the game. Therefore, it takes him out of a lose and we've got a game condition again where he himself is saying, "I am no effect — no effect on me, effect on others," see?

Pavlov talks about making a dog insane. I'd like to shake the paw of a dog the techniques contained in his book would make insane.

So, you've got to get the game started again to get him to come out of it. And his efforts are mainly along the lines of "let's get the game going again" rather than "let's get a game going." Got that?

These learned experiments by which we reduce a circle to a square and reduce a square to a circle while ringing gongs and dah-dah bells and feeding the dog and beating the dog — oh, bah.

He's got lots of games. Actually he has to invent a few more every now and then in processing or he will run out of them. But it's the truth — the actual factual truth is that whenever he's in this kind of a condition — it doesn't matter what silly condition he's in, and let me assure you, a thetan can get into some of the silliest conditions I have ever seen.

I had a malamute once, he was a tough dog. The only way he could accept an acknowledgment was if you took a stick of firewood and hit him between the ears. My mother, who is a very little person, very small person, used to take a stick or a chain to this malamute and just used to beat him and beat him and beat him to make him stop chasing cows. And the dog would say, "Hahh-hahh-hahh-hahh-hahh-hahh." He'd say, "I love you too!"

Here's a young man. He looks good, strong, virile, you know, going up and at them, walking down the street, girls whistling at him and he says, "Women don't like me."

I used to come home after an absence. This dog was very ferocious. He was half malamute, half spitzbergen, very tough dog. He only knew one thing: when you put him on a leash and he felt that harness against his chest, he'd pull! And you went whether you wanted to or not. And he used to come — he'd see me coming up toward the house and he would rush out of the gate. I'd been gone for a month or two or three. And he would rush out of the gate with every fang bared. And I'd wait until he got there and I'd pick up the loose skin on both sides of his jowls and use his momentum and throw him about that far. And he would go over there about 25 feet and he would land, see. And he'd get up and he'd say, "Oh, it's you, Ron. How are you?" That dog was half Russian! And Pavlov said that denying him a little food would drive him crazy.

We say, "What's the matter with this guy? Maybe he's just that way. What's the matter with this guy? Hm?"

It's not true — it's not true that the tiny amount of duress recorded would have done anything to anything. A myth was built up, a fear was created in men's hearts that something could be done to their mind by men who did not know how and who had no technology about the mind anyway! And they built this myth up so good that the United States War Department and even the Marine Corps — which is surprising since they have sense — was actually willing to brainwash a bunch of people that they had, so as to proof them against brainwashing. You might as well proof a guy against suddenly leaving Earth and flying into the moon. It's just not going to happen. Why proof him against it?

I'll tell you what's the matter with him. He was playing a game of "girls don't like me" and he lost. So he's always trying to get this game going again. Eventually he'll do the darnedest things. He'd take up smoking Mexican cigarettes. He finally goes through all sorts of fads and devices and so forth, all of them calculated to drive girls away!

There was no such subject, is all of the technique I am trying to get across to you! Not known to the Russians — there's no such subject as brain-washing. I've read their records and what they've done to people. I've studied them carefully. I've studied the best records existing and those records don't even exist in the United States. And they didn't have a subject and they didn't do it but they meant to scare everybody to death with it.

He comes up to us as a preclear and he tells us, "Women don't like me," smoking Mexican cigarettes. Kicks off his shoes, we say, "Dzahhh." Says, "When do we start processing?" We find out he should use Listerine too. He's wearing some old rags no girl would ever look at. And we say, very obviously — now get where our failure would be there — we say, "Look, girls don't like this fellow because he's doing all these things."

But they achieved one awful, horrible fact when they started this. They achieved something desperate and deadly: They got us to thinking about the subject.

So, we as practical people, would simply say, "Stop smoking the cigarettes. Use Listerine. Take a bath once in a while. Get some decent clothes. And straighten yourself up." You got it?

Well, one time — once upon a time there was a Russian country — a Russian empire. I think maybe somebody will say that someday: "Once upon a time there was Russia."

So, we start to work on him. And we burnish him up, you know, and we shine him and we shine him up some more. We see him the next day and he goes, "Phuh," and we go, "Dzahhh." And we see him a few days later and you just never saw a guy revert so fast!

Possessing almost unlimited means at our disposal in terms of research on the whole track and its unlimited means to be able to research every point and development on the whole track for 76 trillion years — that's a lot of data to look over — we went looking for real brainwashing on the theory that if it frightened people, somewhere on the track it must have happened, actually.

Now, if we just said, "Well, he has an engram that tells him to do this," we would be partially right. This thing does stem from an engram.

Now, if it actually happened, there would be a record of it, and there was. It did happen; there was a record. Billions of years ago they knew how to do it. And the only result that a modern practitioner could get on the subject of brainwashing would be to restimulate it, but that — at that time, the fellow would know more about it and he'd be smarter than he was before.

But what is the rationale and use of that engram? A very simple ration-ale, I assure you.

Male voice: What about Fac One?

He had a game going once and he lost. Or he won! But in any event, it was a good game and it stopped. And ever afterwards he's trying to start this game up again!

Fac One was a Sunday school picnic. Fac One was so mild that I wonder that anybody ever bothered to let himself get aberrated with it. Boy, must he — he must have been short of problems!

I'll give you some sort of an idea about it. He was walking by the Delphi temple, and boy, were there some nice looking vestal virgins — way back in ancient Greece — and he was walking by and he said, "Hm." So, he had a terrific thought! And he went up the temple steps and he asked the oracle, "Why don't girls like me?" And of course, the whole cast tried to convince him that they did.

No, there are methods of brainwashing people and you could do them right this minute. You can brainwash a man thoroughly in twenty seconds and the HGC could undo it in about an hour. And we could knock him down to being totally blank in a complete amnesia and then brightened right up and looking good.

Next life as a Roman legionnaire, he was sitting around a baron's table on the Rhine and a beautiful thought came to him because sitting at the foot of the table were three lovely looking maids and there was the baron's wife and so on. So, he thought to himself, "Ah. You know ..." And he starts drinking the mead, you know, he starts drinking it up.

In other words, the Russian did accomplish something: He made us think. A brainwashing could be done but Russia does not know how to do it.

"What's the matter? You look sad," they all say.

There are records of brainwashing on the whole track but the only person that would be able to understand or do anything about it is a Scientologist and I never met a Scientologist who was so stupid as to brainwash anybody.

"Well, you see, women don't like me."

All a psychiatrist is doing with psychiatric treatments is dramatizing later-day brainwashes. He isn't doing a good job of it; it's just a dramatization, not a treatment. I say that advisedly not to be wicked. I mean, that's a technical fact, because the second you try to put him in the patient valence, he goes mad — boom — as is learned by institutions. But the whole subject of brainwashing is too complicated or too simple for anybody to grasp. He'd have to know all about engrams. He'd have to know all about the electronic phenomena of the body and he'd have to be able to group the whole works suddenly and quickly so that it was indecipherable. You got it?

"They don't? Oh, no, you're wrong. Ha-ha!" And they prove it to him!

But then, of course, an auditor could come along, run Over and Under, which is the process that straightens it up, and the track would go back together again. Why brainwash anybody? He would benefit perhaps — he would probably be a little bit injured one way or the other because a sudden shock that way would probably upset him. But he would benefit to the degree of having enjoyed an auditor's company for an hour or two.

Along about 800, he's got a good racket going with the church up near Pisa or something and he has — varies it by saying, "The Virgin Mary doesn't like me," and the girls in his congregation prove to him that he is likable.

I will tell you something dreadful. All this sizes up to is just one thing. It's a horrible fact, we might as well face it. It is all but impossible to make a mind worse! And almost anything sincerely done makes it better. But the only direction of change there is, is up as far as treatment is concerned.

It's been going on like this for ages.

In other words, you couldn't make a fellow, by some duress or another, worse. It would take him just thousands of years and lots of Fac Ones and lots of electronics and lots of losses and he — oh, I don't know, two or three times of being an emperor and being dethroned by his own mother and cast in a dungeon while a usurper, you know. It just — it'd just have to be drama, drama, drama, drama, games, games, games, games. You're not going to get that in an auditing room. You're going to get lots of games in an auditing room, but you're not going to get several million years' worth.

But, the funny part of it is that somewhere along the line it didn't work or it worked too well! Got the idea? In other words, it went into a win or a lose capacity and stopped the game! It's a game he's not supposed to play anymore.

And when you finally — when you finally get through with all of this, he can remember it, have that much experience and be much brighter than he ever was before he started playing all these games. So what did he lose? We're here.

He said to himself, "I mustn't play this game anymore because it is a dangerous game."

The reason why phrenology never changed the IQ of a human being is because they couldn't worsen it. It doesn't worsen! If they had ever tried to better anybody's IQ, they would have found out that was one of the easiest things there is to do. It tells you which direction they were going. Game dramatization — that sort of thing is a dramatization, don't you see? It's not a study, it's dramatizing study.

But that never stopped a thetan! That never stopped a thetan!

And so, it's very difficult to make anybody worse. It's very easy to make them better. All you have to do is change somebody. To change somebody is to make him change in the direction of good, better, and he changes. Make him in the direction of bad and he doesn't change.

He says after that, "I ought to be playing that game; I don't dare," and that is aberration.

Now, that's horrible, and I'm sorry and I'm sorry if it violates the favorite tale we used to tell of the little, sweet, innocent sixteen-year old girl who goes out and takes her first drink, meets a guy, he ruins her, he wrecks her life, and so forth, and that is what is wrong with her. I am sorry if it wrecks this kind of a myth. Boy, was she looking for it! You got the idea?

On one side he says, "I must reach with that game."

It is so simple, so basically simple to make a person better; it is so difficult to make him worse. The direction that has to be gone is the direction of "toward better" or "toward good." And as that is simpler, it would take a simple-minded fellow such as myself to ever try to go in that direction, it'd be probably because he was too dumb or too lazy to go in the other direction, and that's why we've won.

On the other side he says, "I must not reach with that game."

This whole subject of brainwashing is the greatest hoax of modern times. I hate to have to tell you that, because look at what an exciting game we had all mocked up about it. I wouldn't tell the government down here. Say, "Brain-washing, oh!"

He says, "I must withdraw from that game. I must not withdraw from that game because look at how successful that game was. Of course, I don't dare play it! But it is a terribly successful game."

The government shouldn't be robbed of a game like that. It would take us to do it and unfortunately we would be able to mop it up, so of what importance is it? You can't threaten a man with a disease for which there is an instant cure. The funny part of it is that if you really did this type of brainwash of which I am speaking well and thoroughly, he'd probably feel better.

You got this?

What you do is give him a total amnesia, that's a brainwash, you see. And he wouldn't have any wife to worry about and he wouldn't have any old games to worry about and he wouldn't have anything to worry about and he'd go out and he'd say, "Huh! Oh, what a nice world. I wonder where I got this body? Says here my name is Joe. Well, this is a funny kind of a way to come in, I — but I — here I am. I wonder if I will get educated again?" I mean it'd be this kind of thing. He'd just be in a total amnesia, that's all.

And he could actually go mad on that computation. And that is the computation of madness.

Scientologist would get hold of him, have him pull at least one little image picture out before and a little image picture afterwards and a picture before and a picture afterwards and a picture before and a picture after-wards, and pictures — sluuuuup-urp! He'd say, "Oh, shucks! She nags all the time."

"I must do it. I can't do it. I've got to keep from doing it. I must." Mostly must.

I'll tell you what's serious. I'll tell you what's serious, is having no game at all. That's serious — having nothing at all to do, having no purpose or direction. And having to sit with your existing aberrations inactive! In other words, the state the human race is in right now and from which we are trying very successfully to rescue it.

And it's been our task to find out what it is that he must or must not do. And it's just a game. What game is it? That's your job as an auditor.

Thank you.

But all these games boil down to havingness. There is connected with them havingness.

If you have some doubt of that just — I told you several illustrations and so forth — there was havingness connected with each one of them. There was something to gain, some mass to win, in each one of these. And there was some-body to discourage in each one of these.

For instance, the baron — he had to be fought. And in the temple there was probably the grand priestess who was an old bag that was just jealous as the devil. She would have had him fried over the nearest sacred fire if she'd found out what was going on in her sacred precincts. You get the idea.

There was an enemy! There was something to be won, some boodle, some loot.

And he'll run a game to such an extent that he believes after a while it is the only method of procuring. Since a thetan would — believes in systematized procuration. He believes in this if in nothing else.

How do you get money? You ask a bricklayer how you get money? If he's a good worker, honest fellow, he'll say, "You lay bricks, of course! That's how you get money. Simple. Anybody knows that."

A fellow who hauls beer, you say, "How do you get money?"

He says, "Well, you haul beer. That's how you get money."

A banker, "How do you get money?"

And he says, "Well, you'd have to understand banking."

But they all have a belief of how you get something. You see? It's a system.

Now, they get convinced of how you get. It becomes a conviction and you get a system going, a method going and that method thereafter is not particularly departed from. And if the fellow suddenly lost this method, you'll find him going along for a long time not able to recognize any other method.

Now, let's do this, let's offer this fellow who rassles beer trucks and beer barrels all day long a perfectly simple job of laying bricks at three times the pay — much easier work. He won't keep the job. He won't stay with it. Why? It obviously isn't a real method of procuring anything. Do you follow me?

Now, we ask the banker, "Why don't you go out and haul beer if you're having such a bad time with finance and you're not even making wages? There's a job down here; they haul beer."

"Oh, no!" And he'll give you all sorts of reasons. He'll say it's beneath his dignity. Although I don't know what dignity would possibly obtain in being a banker. You get the idea?

Fellows get these games going.

Now, we just think of life and work loosely and quickly, you see, on that sudden basis of, "Well, of course you work to get money."

No, let's think of it on a wider basis. Look at its actual mechanics. The money is simply the boodle, the loot, the gimmick. It's just the havingness of the game. That's all. Everybody holds this havingness in common, therefore, you can have some terrifically complicated, widely agreed-upon games with it.

In football it isn't money, it's a piece of leather and rubber, you see, and that's the thing, plus a couple of goal posts in a little area. Now, the havingness of the game also includes, of course, the bodies of your own team. The can't-havingness of the game is just as important as the havingness because that gives you the opponent. The can't-havingness of football is the bodies of other players. They're not supposed to have bodies and you're not supposed to have their bodies! In other words, that's a can't-have situation. Your goal posts are a can't-have situation for them. You see?

Now, money is something we don't consider as a game except loosely. And we say, "Well, all right, they're not supposed to be able to have my money, but I'm supposed to be able to have his money." You get the idea? And the money is the money, but it's just the assignment of ownership on what dollar it is, isn't it?

Now, "I'm not supposed to have his house. He's not supposed to have my house." You see? "But I have my house and he has his house." And you get the haves and can't-haves involved in the games of being neighbors.

Now, the actual weenie or football or boodle or loot in playing the game of neighbors can include lawn mowers, garden sprays, wives, all sorts of things. See?

And two guys actually will live in a very friendly atmosphere playing the game of being neighbors and playing it as a game. Not really being neighbors, you see, but chop-chop and, "Hello, George. How are you, George? I'd like to borrow your lawn mower."

"You didn't return it last spring, you know."

"Well, that's all right. I'd like to borrow it anyhow."

"Well, I haven't got it, you have."

"No. I lent you mine." You know?

Very involved. Then they can — they can say, "Well, we're enemies today." And then tomorrow, why, you'll find them sitting down friendly as Punch. Why do they make friends again? See, it's an end of game if they don't!

If one had said, "Love thy neighbor," whenever no-game conditions are attained — so if we get enough communication to get the game going again it would have been a very workable statement because that's what people do.

You merely said, "You must love your neighbor at all times," you'd have a no-game condition. People would get very unhappy about it and that's a fact. It would be the truth.

You put any of these absolutes into action and you normally get a no-game condition.

Well, you see what this thing is about a game and the havingness of the game? There is havingness in the game.

Well, there are reverse havingnesses; there are desirable havingnesses and undesirable havingnesses.

Now, a bunch of black masses are desirable just to this degree: You can use them on somebody else! And he did and missed.

Now, if you actually asked this fellow ... I'll tell you the rationale back of this. It actually succumbs to an interesting test.

You say — this fellow with blackness, "All right, now get the idea . . ." Don't make him look at this thetan too long because Conceiving a Static is quite upsetting — they get sick at their stomachs sometimes.

You say, "Get the idea of a thetan going along there innocently. Now you drop a big black mass over him. Now, get another idea of a thetan going along there and quickly drop a black mass over him. Another idea, drop a black mass over him. Another thetan, get — drop a black mass over him."

Now, you'd say offhand that this fellow was mocking up a bunch of new crimes and he's going to suffer from these crimes.

No, the overt act — motivator phenomena is much lower on the Tone Scale and much lower and further below this other games phenomena. It takes place. It occurs.

You beat somebody up; you feel beaten up. But that's only from a fellow who is in, really, a good solid no-game condition. He's in bad shape if this overt act — motivator sequence happens. It happens.

But up higher on the scale this process works. But even on a low-toned preclear it works, but it's just a higher scale process. All right?

He does this for a while — he does this for a while — and he all of a sudden says, "You know, I shouldn't do this. I feel apathetic about those poor little thetans that I'm messing up."

He's come up to apathy.

Now, normally we would have stopped before because we would have thought we were driving him down to apathy. Now we ask him to do it some more.

You say, "Get the idea of a thetan walking along there. And you drop one of these black masses over his head. And get a thetan over there . . ."

If he's very queasy about this, you say, "Get an idea of a thetan perched on that lamp. A thetan over on that picture. A spirit over there someplace.

And you drop this mass on him. And you drop it on him. And you do it to him. And you do it to him."

All of a sudden he comes up Tone Scale on the thing. He reverts. And his field clears!

In other words, you got the game going again and then you did better than that. You didn't put it on a win, you put it on the one thing he was trying to do with it to give it a consistent continuation. And he has achieved a consistent continuation of game. He feels he can now play the game any-time. And you've completely spoiled the obsession to play the game by putting it into a rational games capacity. In other words, you've taken it out of an unknowing condition and put it in a knowing condition.

Now, he didn't know he was playing a game. He's just dead in his head, you see. It's an unknowing games condition. He doesn't know about it, where it came from or anything else. Now, you tell him to play that game again — drop a black mass on a thetan and do it again and again and again — he'll tell you, he'll cognite he must have done this at some time or another. You get it into a knowing condition and suddenly, why, he's no longer playing that game.

You get it into a knowing condition, you give him power of choice of being — over being able to play the game and he is able to play it.

Do I make myself very clear?

Audience: Yes.

Well, havingness — havingness, as I say, is the gimmick, the boodle, the reward, the — and in the case of a black mass — the penalty. And it has many sides. That it simply, bluntly and blatantly works is remarkable.

You just say — you run everything on the basis of have and you have some small workability.

But actually, it has to be selectively run to be very effective. Havingness is really run in this fashion: First dynamic: have. And then all other dynamics of which one does not consider he is a part: can't-have. That's it! That's the rule.

It's "you have." You see? "It, he, she, they, anything else can't have," and you'll usually be safe.

But when that becomes flat — in other words, when you run "Look around the room and find something you can have" flat, you could then run "Look around the room and find something your body can't have," and that goes flat.

The next time you say "you," something new and peculiar has happened. Without your differentiating it at all, he says — when you say, "you," he takes himself plus his body. Have you got it? So, you run "self plus body" flat.

And then, "Tell me something that your family," you see, "can't have." "Look around the room and tell me something your family can't have." And he selects all this out, and he runs that nicely flat.

And the next time you say, "you" he takes himself and his family as "you." Got the idea?

So, you say, "Look around the room and find something you can have," he is sort of including into that the whole family and himself and his body and so on.

So, you just pick out enemies up the dynamics one way or the other and run can't-haves on those and every time you turn around and run haves on the preclear he has a tendency, just a tendency — he very often would deny that it exists, in which case it isn't flat — to include the dynamics that you have flattened on can't-have as his friends. Got the idea?

You make friends right up — right through the dynamics for the guy. You see? By running them out as enemies.

First, he considers everything in the whole universe, except himself, an enemy. Now that is really a compulsive game condition. There are no friends or anything anywhere.

Now, people object to this. They say this couldn't possibly be. It is not a natural or a good thing. Well, it's natural, but it's not good because it isn't even a good game condition.

Would you consider it a good game for you all by yourself to be standing up there versus seven other dynamics and everything in them? Pretty good, huh? You going to win that fight or are you going to lose it?

Audience: Lose it. Win.

Now, that actually, weirdly enough is and becomes almost a total no-game condition.

Now, how does a guy get into that sort of a thing? How does he get into a total no-game condition? That's by — in an anxiety to have a game, and every thetan has an anxiety to have a game — every one of them does. They're nuts! I mean, it's true. There's something basically wrong with the beast! I've examined him. I say, "What's the matter with you? What've you got to have a game for? You are always in trouble with it."

"Yeah," he says, "isn't that what a game is? Ha-ha."

When it gets down to the third dynamic and one is no longer able to operate on any third dynamic at all, one starts to get too much game and it's when one departs from all thirds that he goes below 2.0 on our own Tone Scale.

When all thirds are gone, he's below 2.0. In other words, he's in awfully bad shape.

Now, he is only in an unknowing games condition. Everything is above this level and it is his enemy! The whole world is his enemy.

And then he gets down to an inversion, which is very peculiar to witness. This fellow has been chop-chop, cut-cut, slash-slash and he's been going around and he's been cutting throats and tying up people's clothes when they're in swimming and doing other insidious acts.

And one fine day — one fine day he says, "I've sinned."

Well, this thing of "I've sinned" is a recognition that he is suddenly all alone somehow and he makes an effort to get back into the game. But what game is he trying to get into?

He's now trying to get into a game where he's offended everybody. Every-body, anywhere, no matter what their race, color, creed, description, form or politics might be is an enemy. He knows that! The other person doesn't know it, but he does. You see?

So, he has to go in and he goes on a very low-scale propitiation. "Please. Won't somebody talk to me?" You see, he really doesn't have very much to offer, so nobody talks to him. You get how this is?

Now, there's a disgraceful thing, that all insanity, neurosis and mental difficulty, each and every one and all of them, are simply exaggerations of sane actions.

Get that very clearly. If you don't have that already — it's an old part of Scientology and Dianetics — but if you don't have that, you're missing some-thing; you're missing something there.

All you have to do is take one sane quality. You know, a fellow likes to have some candy in his pocket to give kids when he meets them on the street.

That's a sane action. See? Exaggerate that on and on and on and on and on and it becomes a psychosis. All he can do is — you see, this psychosis is all he can do is — limitation of, total limitation — all he can do is, is go around and any way he can get some hand — get his hands on some candy and shove it into kids' throats. You see? It's just a slight (it's not even a twist), it's just exaggerating an action and that — he say — you say he's nuts.

Now, for instance, you and I have an idea that we have something to offer the world or something to do for the world. Well, you see, we have that. We're not obsessed by this in any way. But we believe that this is the case.

Now, one day — I was just walking down the steps at the HASI the other day and a chap — a chap was walking down with me that we had just cured recently of being Napoleon. And I was thinking about some third dynamic plans that we have that are pretty workable plans. They're all right and — third dynamic organization — and I was getting along okay. And I just got through talking to some people about it and here this fellow says, "You know — you know, Ron, you've got to process me some more."

I hadn't processed him at all, but this was his tete-a-tete.

"Got to process me some more because with this Suez Canal crisis coming up, I won't know what to say to Nasser. I can do so much for England," he says.

It hurts sometimes to talk to these psychos. Because they're playing an insane, fixed version of a perfectly legitimate game.

See, if there was nobody on Earth who could do anything for the British, they'd be in a hell of a mess. You see, if there was nobody on Earth that could do anything for the American civilization, it would be in an awful mess, too!

I mean, a social service nurse that goes around and knocks on doors is doing something for the whole country, actually, as you build it up, don't you see? But the difference is she is actually doing something! And the psycho never does! He just stands in one place and jitters about this game. See? There's no action involved in it because he must withdraw; it's so dangerous that he must do it, that he — dzuhhh.

So, you take any sane manifestation, exaggerate it, it becomes an insane or a neurotic manifestation. Do you follow that closely? So that you might say insanity and neurosis were systems of making a dirty crack at sanity and your ability. In other words, they're an exaggerated method of insult.

A fellow doesn't dare come up to your face and say you're a dog, so he dramatizes something you're doing in a bad way that makes you feel like a dog. You see, he sets an example that he wants you to follow.

Now, the direct sensation and manifestation of neurosis and psychosis is very, very easy to understand. All you have to do is process a psychotic — if you could audit him — or a neurotic on this process and you'd have it all set.

Have him sit out on a porch or something and look at traffic go by and have him put his peculiar fixation into every person that passes by in the street and after a while he feels better. In other words, you let him continue the game that he must not continue. And so he comes out of it.

You say, "This is an awful dirty trick to play on a bunch of people walking by on the street."

Well, where did you get the idea that fellows who went nuts had any horsepower? All they have is agitation and confusion. They don't have horse-power.

We speak of the "horrible strength" sometimes possessed by insane people. Ha! It's horrible strength just on the same order that an electric charge or something is a horrible charge — it doesn't happen to have adequate direction in order to do anything.

If you had this fellow with "horrible strength" out there on the porch having him put "horrible strength" into the people that went by, it would actually fly up and go into roofs and do all sorts of things. It just wouldn't exist. It wouldn't affect anybody.

The common denominator of all this, by the way, is "thought has no effect on." As a person goes down Tone Scale, his thought does not have an effect on thoughts or masses anymore and these people do not have any power.

They — you can get quite agitated around them. That's because they've got a bunch of old engrams. Here they are sitting here and then all the way around them you've got this sort of a picture. You come along and you stand there.

All of a sudden you feel this — you say, "What's going on here? Makes me uncomfortable to be around that person," you say. You say, "Oh, I feel all right now."

Why? He's in an engram powerful enough to influence his body and it will influence yours. But all it is, is a rest point surrounded by motion and you get into the motion area. But that is simply a case of his last havingness, his last game, his last havingness.

Here he is with some small mass. This motion threatens to take it away from him. He is always on the verge of losing what little mass he has left. Always he's in danger of losing that little, tiny bit of mass. So he has to hold on to that mass.

Unfortunately, connected to the mass is all this wild motion and confusion and painful reactions which have a total effect on him, you see?

But he has to hold on to this mass because it's all he's got. He's only surrounded by the Empire State Building, the Atlantic Ocean, New York City and millions of people. See, and he has this little, tiny mass.

In other words, he's got to win. He won this mass in a national contest. He doesn't play that game anymore. He is it! He is the game! He isn't playing a game.

You make him play this game again and he ceases to be it. In other words, you've got to get him back in a game condition.

He'll hold on to his wins or loses because these masses are something on the order of the old lady's medals. These masses are the old lady's medals. He says, "Well, I was in a game once. See? See this scar?"

"I was in a game once," is all a scar says. Any fellow that scars up easily, by the way, he's been short on games when it happened, to have to keep around the tokens or havingness of the game.

Do you know there are fellows that get into automobile accidents and get hurt? Well, that just shows you what a scarcity of automobile accidents they have. They just aren't in enough of them.

People get into automobile accidents, by the way, because they're not sup-posed to cause them. You follow me? "Don't you dare cause any accidents."

You could take any accident-prone, by the way, and give him an old jalopy on a playing field that's rigged up for it and let him run it into a few walls and run it off of things and run it in ditches and turn it over a few times and so forth and he'll say, "Boy!" But it's twice as good if you gave him some levers and signals that he could juggle around and wreck cars. That's a real game, you see — like is played by traffic engineers. Well, anyhow .. .

You might say American traffic is being ruined, stopped and wrecked in order to promote the sanity of a few traffic engineers who were potty before they got the job.

Well, this thing called havingness is the subject of prizes and sometimes, they're — you might say, the prizes and penalties. And sometimes they're prizes and sometimes they're penalties. If the thing the fellow has is a penalty, you want to have him mock it up one way or the other of giving it to somebody else. And if it's a prize, well, you want to mock it up so that he gets it. Do you understand?

In other words, he gets what he considers prizes and you have him put off on somebody else what he considers penalties. But I'll tell you something. You'll just have to consult the preclear as to what's a prize and what's a penalty.

Well, I've often said there's just no understanding a thetan. But this is havingness. Havingness is the award or the penalty and in both cases it has mass, actually, bringing him into command of solids in general, bringing him out of an upset about havingness itself or possession.

Now, the subject of havingness is not the subject, then, of possession. And that which is havingness is not necessarily possessed at all.

This fellow has some crossbow bolts all ready to load and fire. The intention of that havingness is, of course, a penalty in somebody's back. Do you see that? He himself doesn't want the crossbow bolts. He wants the bolts so that another guy can have them.

Now, this is in contradistinction to a pretty girl. He wants the pretty girl so he can have the pretty girl, so the other fellow can't have the pretty girl. And to resolve the problem of women with some man — or men with some woman — you have to run Have and Can't-have. Can't-have on the man's opponents, you see, and Have on women. You see that? And on the girl, if you were trying to get her over upsets and scarcities on this, you would have to run, as far as she's concerned, Have on men and Can't-have on other women.

It's just as necessary to run one as the other. Now you wonder why these things haven't resolved? They haven't resolved because it — to no great extent have we been totally in possession of the exact facts. We haven't had dossier: thetan, type: Earth 1950, very closely filed until now.

But right at the top of the tag you have havingness and solids as to identification of desire and reason why you have, so he can continue a game that was once an awful lot of fun but got dangerous.

Thank you.
