Tonight I want to talk to you about confusion.

I want to talk to you now about the identification of ones Theta body. This is a step by step plan which makes it possible for an individual to reach a point where he can locate, find, and recognize the fact that he is a Theta body, and not a MEST body. You will discover on running this on PCs, that the PC is going to tell you how confused he is about this. He is going to protest about this. He probably is going to squirm around about this considerably. Follow this routine anyway - just boot him through, kick him through, have a club handy, and hit him every once in a while if he doesn’t run it. Directive therapy, and this calls for directive therapy. A large number of your PCs are going to be only too interested to run this. They will run it without any confusion whatsoever, and will wind up in beautiful condition with everything all identified and squared away. However, a certain number of PCs are going to run it just so far, and then they are going to jump off into a “maybe” one way or another, and land in the wrong corner. It is going to take considerable persuasion on your part in order to carry them on through. In either case, this procedure is the one that is applicable. We must have a plan of operation. The basic principle of this plan is: How did you get a MEST body in the first place? How is it that you came to have a fixation on MEST bodies? You unravel this fixation or obsession or concentration on having a MEST body, and you have achieved by that process, the location of the Theta body. You run how it is that this PC came to possess, and had an obsession about his MEST body. From this you get the location of his Theta body. That follows! You see, he all of a sudden discovers that his MEST body is not native to him, that it is something else, and that he is not necessarily solely, only, and completely the guardian of this MEST body. The second he discovers this, his sphere of activity gets much wider, much much wider. He can start going out then into the upper numbered dynamics, but until then, he will have a hard time doing so.

Many lecturers and many speakers are not as honest about their talks, and give them titles. The lecture tonight about confusion is designed to leave you unconfused, not to confuse you. Therefore, you couldn’t classify it as a political talk, or a talk on psychology, or a number of other things. Actually, there are several of these tonight, in addition to confusion. There is a talk about “Action on the track as a result of energy behavior” and so on. These subjects are short, and each one is applicable to Technique 88.

At the level where most PCs are - you will find that these people believe that they are a lot of other people, and that there is a big oneness about the universe, and about existence, and about identity. That they are part of everybody else, and so on. This is part of the same confusion. This individual has thrown himself over so many MEST bodies, he has entangled himself in so many lives, on a MEST level that he has come to forget his own individuality, and is sort of mixed up in the pool of the general individuality. At that level, his brotherhood (you might say) with the rest of the race is pretty aberrated.

The first thing perhaps that we should understand thoroughly, is the difference between Technique 80 and Technique 88. It is an odd thing, but these definitions apply very very closely to clarifying the process. The process becomes clear the moment that this (the definitions) becomes clear to you. Technique 88 is processing the theta body, and anything that pertains to processing the theta body can be lumped into 88. Technique 80 is a method of application - which can be applied to: (1) MEST bodies, (2) one lifetime, (3) some segment of the Whole Track, (4) to the Whole Track.

This whole problem is one of steps on the tone scale. As you go up on the tone scale, you reach each time, new levels of ARC with your own kind, and reaching these new levels of ARC with your own kind, brotherhood becomes more possible. Close, loving association with your fellows is actually only possible well above 2.0 - and these confusion levels where everybody thinks that everybody is one - that is pretty low compared to a real operating efficiency. At a level where you can trust, feel confidence in, and never feel that you have to arm yourself against - that level would be a level of true brotherhood. Enforced brotherhoods are many.

When I say, ”Segment of the Whole Track”, I mean that you can take and specialize with Technique 80 on addressing the genetic line of the MEST body only. You can take Technique 80 and apply it only to the genetic line. It takes a person from you might say: from photon, helper, sloth, piltdown, to New Yorker. You can take this line, and can use Technique 80 on this line. You will find each time that you run this line, that there are motivators and overts making an overt act situation or a DED situation. You can do that - just that, or you can take somebody and process only space-opera. The 2 or 10 million years somebody spent in space - space ships, invader forces, thought people. Fascinating stuff, just fascinating - drama, lots of it. You can take that section and you can process it, but the section is one thing, and the process is Technique 80. Again, we use Motivators, Overts, Deds, and so on.

There have been many times in the past when people have had enforced ARC substituted for actual ARC. They are not in affinity with their fellows at all. They are merely forced to be, and they will go through the social graces, and they will very viciously hate their fellows the second that there is no need to go on being in enforced ARC with them. They do not trust people. They have no confidence in, and they would not turn their backs to, individuals. That’s a bad level actually, but that happens to be the level where the bulk of this race is located. And with good reason - an enforced ARC produces these various effects of perverted and twisted affection.

Or we can take a Thought People section. There are long stretches on the track where one has been part of a thought people. They had nothing much to do with MEST, very little to with MEST (the material universe). They sort of floated across the tops of the daisies and made pretty pictures. They had enormous codes of . . Oh, the codes of operation - because, you see, if everybody was a perfectly free theta body, why you had to use some method of controlling them. You had no electronics with which to control them, so you would invent morals, “It is immoral to ....” Well, morals in that line were mostly superstition. They said: “Now, the way to do so and so, is to do so and so, and so and so,” and make some big complicated process, you see. So, you will find people every once in a while who will come up and they will say: “But of course, in order to leave ones body it is necessary to lie down, count to ten, sneeze twice, turn over once . . ., it’s a big process. It’s something you have to be taught very carefully, and you have to observe all the rules, and if you go away from your body and you don’t do so and so, why then when you get away from your body you won’t be able to come back to it. “ If you do come back, not all of you will get back - it’s very dangerous.” That is all under moral codes. That is something like, “Don’t spit on streetcars.”

As you go up the line, you find a real strong bond amongst your own kind. That is why I say that if we obtained a number of Theta Clears, the chances of them becoming wide apart andseparated and fighting with each other is rather faint, because fortunately the ethic level goes up as a persons sanity goes on up. You would find a small group probably operating in harmony and with considerable individuality. The third dynamic and the first dynamic can operate together, but you have to have very able people on the first dynamic in order to operate a smooth third dynamic operation. On low levels on the tone scale you will find people will use the third dynamic wholly and solely to protect and excuse the first dynamic. In that wise, you find individuals who are saying: “A group exists solely to protect me and my self-determinism, and therefore, I mustn’t upset the self- determinism of any part of this group, I must go on and be autonomous, etc.” Well, they haven’t got a group.

So, here is a thought people - they are operating perfectly happy. They have this heavily moralized society - they get together, the elders, etc. and say for instance: “You will not transmit telepathically between the hours of ....” It’s very amusing, but you will get a PC occasionally who is just convinced that this section of track is the only section of track there is, and he’ll insist on processing this area. Then you will get somebody who wants to process invader sequences. That is another type of activity. Here is a thought people, and all of asudden they are hit by electronic people. Actually, people are people. You are the people, whether you were the thought people or you were the electronic people, you were the people.

At a slightly higher level than that, a real group is all for the group. A communistic cell operates that way, for instance. The individual (the first dynamic) is absolutely nothing, it’s the group, everything for the group, life or death for the group, the group only, and as far as the self-determinism for the individual is concerned - it is completely overcome by the self- determinism of the group. There is only one self- determinism there, and that is the self- determinism of the group. The group utilizes that self-determinism to survive and to make itself as affluent, and as powerful, and as well cared for, as possible. When they want something done, then 2 or 3 of the first dynamics go out and do it, and if they fail - they die. That’s all there is to it, there is no compromise. So, a third dynamic group operating in that fashion (sacrificing the first dynamic 100%) actually is capable of getting a considerable amount of work done, and actually will produce a level of loyalty and cooperation which is not possible operating on the first dynamic only.

Some of you were following along the electronics line, and you landed on this planet and it was a thought planet - all they knew what to do was just thought. Of course, you as an electronics person became very baffled, because every time you started to lay down the law, or post an order which said: “Martial law has now been declared in this area,” the order burned. They get tired chasing around trying to find out, “Who killed poor old Joe last night on Guard Duty?” They get sick of this sort of thing, so finally the invader starts gunning down thought people just at random. Then he starts setting up various kinds of traps, and he does all sorts of things in order to control this area. He has a bad time doing it, but the thought people will eventually succumb.

Now, we have to go well up the tone scale in order to get a third dynamic group which will survive all by itself for the group, and for the individual too. Why? It’s because high on the tone scale you get greater and greater spreads out into the dynamics. As a person goes up the tone scale his ability to control his environment becomes wider and wider, and includes outer, further dynamics. So, until he has controlled all of ONE, it is almost impossible for him to control TWO. And until he has controlled TWO, it is almost impossible for him to either control or operate successfully on THREE. And until he is able to operate wholly successfully on THREE, he can’t operate on FOUR, and so on. It is an expanding perimeter. If you had a group on the face of the earth today which was operating very heavily on the third dynamic (which also included the first dynamic) it would be people who were so facile, who could so easily, and so quickly see the proper solutions, that there would never be any argument amongst them as to what was best. They would also be very active, and they would be going out at terrific velocity. This earth today would fall into the possession of that group with such speed, nobody could prevent it. Even the group couldn’t prevent it. It is not that anybody is forming up such a corps to do that, but any group operating first and third simultaneously on a high level of survival, would be so far above any existing group on the face of the earth today that people would start looking at it, because it would be cause. It would be able to cause things which no other group could cause, and people would start looking to it for solutions. And it, in order to survive in that world and to keep itself from being bothered particularly, would start to take on more and more problems.

You must understand when you are processing PCs, that Technique 80 tells you that 9 times out of 10 they will go over on to what was done to them, rather than what they did. So to hear them, you would think these poor thought people were awfully abused and down trodden, shot to pieces and electrified, pegged and categorized, jailed and trapped, and hunted down like lice - Oh Yeah! You find out what they did to the electronic people. Those are overt acts, and they make very interesting telling.

More and more problems, like - “And tomorrow we will have to advise the government of Canada that they can’t keep monkeying up the water along the St. Lawrence, because it is fooling around with our project in New York, which we had to take on because so many people were starving in upper New York, and this includes the economic conditions of lower New York ....” In other words, they would just start inheriting. They can’t help it, they just start inheriting.

Then you will get somebody who was a thought person, these are just two categories of people, by the way. They just tell you that the electronics people happen to be an evolutionary line which is heavy gravity planets, and so they develop electronics. The thought people are on light gravity planets, so they don’t develop anything electronic. Electronics and Thought just makes two classifications of people - because you’ll find they battle, and you will see this fight going on right now in modern engineering. You go around to a modern engineering laboratory and you say to these people: “Now, you take the human mind . . . “ They say: “You take it.” They don’t like it.

Anybody, as he starts coming up the tone scale starts inheriting. He inherits more and more and more, and his only relief, his only help is to keep on going up the tone scale. Now we have a way of doing that. In the past, everytime somebody would inherit anything he was depressed down the tone scale, because he went into ARC with things that needed help. They needed help so much, and so strongly, that he went on down the tone scale, because they kept pulling at him and doing aberrated things to him. So, it’s sort of a contest. If you keep it processed out fast enough you would keep on going up the tone scale, and you just inherit more and more and more - you just can’t help it. That will happen to any one of you in your own community. You just sit on the front porch and it will keep right on happening. You can’t stop it from happening, because it is a natural sequence. If you go up to a point of ONE (survival as self), that has a potentiality of being a very strong part of THREE (a group), the group will locate itself to find you. It just works that way.

You will find Thought People, and you go around to them and you say: “Here is this electronic gadget that . . .” and they say: “Noooow . . . What!” They don’t want anything to do with this! This same person in some phase of his development was a Thought Person, and at some other phase was an Electronics Person. But what he has in restimulation in this life is his Thought phase, or his Electronic phase, and so he will react reversely to Thought or Electronics. It’s just as the Roman Empire set up the Blues and the Greens as the circus teams that fought with each other; so has randomity appeared in the past as Thought and Electronics.

So, when we talk about affinity (one for another) this technique does not in any degree try to go on an enforced ARC basis. It doesn’t try to do anything which will upset ARC specifically and directly, but Oh, what it does to it. Very interesting. You must understand the mechanism by which people come to feel protection and love for, an aberrated lower level protection and love for. You see, there are many levels on the tone scale where people feel protection and love for, but unfortunately this business about the body is one of the lowest levels. It’s obsessive, and it’s psychotic. There is no reason why you can’t feel considerable affection for MEST bodies, without feeling a terrible compulsion to just be a MEST body only. That would be quite different you see. You would have neglected a great deal of your own self- determinism if every part of your self-determinism were devoted wholly and exclusively to the care and feeding of a MEST body. So, if it is reductive of self-determinism, it is also automatically reductive on the tone scale. Well, that is how you get there - ARC with the body, enforced brotherhood with the body, you got there to a point of that. Then you started to get enforced brotherhood with other bodies, and the next thing you know, you’ve got it all across the board. You start thinking of yourself as part of this, part of that, parts actually of aberrated groups. So, being part of aberrated groups, you naturally lost a great deal of the determinism necessary to bail yourself out. So, we have to examine the mechanism of: How does an individual come to regard, or be fond of, or protect something? What is the mechanism ?

So, you will find this young Thought Person has been grabbed off as an interpreter and he is riding around with the invaders. Actually, his race was kind of killed off, that is to say, they were given bodies and various things. So the invaders were riding around, invading planets and so forth, and here is this puckish (mischievous) Thought Person who has been drafted as an auxiliary. Maybe he’s a young fellow, and boy has he been abused by these Electronic People. He is practically a slave, to hear him tell it. Then you will find out that his favorite method of amusement was sitting at the mess table in the wardroom and making the Captains teeth fall out. He would sit there, you see, and every time the Executive Officer would start to spoon up soup, the soup would fly up and hit him in the face, and this Thought Person would be sitting there very innocently.

We have taken care of it actually, in Technique 80, which is a process that tells you what you have to process. This is a mechanism that builds up to a very closely identified thing, and a very closely identified thing would be a completely smashed in, unidentified affinity. Now, how do people get into that state? Basically and at first, individuals did not believe themselves to be even vaguely in brotherhood with MEST bodies. Do you think that you belong to the great brotherhood of great Danes? NO, you don’t. You are rather apt to be short and fast with great Danes, or cats, or beef steers. You realize that they are for your use, but if you went into close affinity and did nothing but protect short horned cattle - you would get pretty obsessed about cattle after a while.

You can see how some race possessed of unlimited weapons, could consider itself very tolerant and very benign - up to a certain limit. After it had just so much “Soup in its face” it would start to use its almost unlimited weapons, and start gunning down the Thought People. Of course, it’s very easy to gun down Thought People. You set up traps of various sorts, and gradually you would pick them all up and give them bodies and start them building walls or something. So, you can process that section or phase of the track, but don’t forget when you are processing some phase of the track, process it with Technique 80. Technique 80 doesn’t change. Technique 80 - you could probably process the Main Body of Theta with it. Anything that is to be processed - use Technique 80.

You go out on the western range, and you talk to some of these cattlemen. All they talk about is cattle. You look at some of them, and they actually look slightly like cattle. That is a small part of what you see in this other mechanism. Now, how does a fellow get excessively fond of cattle? Well, he decides to be a stockman and raise cattle for his own use, he is raising them so that he can make money for himself or his family. So, he starts raising them. He handles them this way, and that way, and he brutalizes them this way, and that way. He is just being very effective and efficient from his own standpoint, with no real care beyond that level of efficiency.

Now, way back along the line, you will find various strange and terrible things happening to people - just don’t overlook the fact that they did strange and terrible things.

In Texas right now, they don’t rope cattle, because they claim it will take 35 pounds off a steer to drop a rope around his neck and pull him down to his knees. So, you just don’t do that, and you don’t run cattle either - it’s a financial situation. Now, here is a young boy being raised on that farm, and he goes out one day just after a big blizzard and the wind is still blowing, and he finds a little calf that has lost its mother. He will take the calf in, and he will take care of it. He will be fairly efficient about this, he will be interested in, and fond of that calf. Now one day, you come in and tell him: “Well, we have to take the calf to market, he is going to get slaughtered, he is a young steer now and he is worth 500 dollars.” He screams, “No!” What a row. You have interfered with ownership. One of the most valuable things there is would be something that has a great deal of flowing theta - or life rather than flowing theta, but had capable theta in it. So, he has got hold of this steer. Ow! There have been more farmers boys hearts broken because the sheep goes to market, the pigs go to market, or the cow goes to market, and they were theirs. You see, they endow and imbue these beasts with personalities. They give them names, they will play with them, they will tie hair ribbons on them - the darndest things. It’s just sort of a natural activity, it’s there natively. You understand that nothing can be boosted up to an aberrative level, that does not exist as a native capability of theta. Theta is natively able to do anything which you can compel it to do.

Now, here is the first point of confusion in these Techniques, it’s “Who is they?” Now, you’ve got it straight that Technique 88 applies to processing the Theta Body, not to processing a MEST body. It’s a very specialized technique and it processes the Theta Body. A Theta Body is located in a certain way geographically with relationship to MEST bodies, and it is capable of many other things than MEST bodies are capable of, and it needs a very very special method of processing, because it is a special entity, and article. You will learn more and more about it the more you process it, because it is there and accessible. It is easy to process, and this material is there to be learned. Well, that is Technique 88, the processing of this Theta Body, this aura, this shell, whatever you want to call it - that goes around MEST bodies. So, that is Technique 88, and that is highly specialized.

So, how would we get very aberrated on this subject? Well, the farmer boy goes out and he is practicing roping. He’s being “Hop-along Cassidy” or something, and he ropes this young calf; the calf goes appetite over tin cup down the wash and busts himself all up. The boy has a little bit of affection there (natively) but he sees what he has done. That’s bad! Up to this time he hasn’t thought about calves as something you could hurt, but this calf evidently hurts. Somehow or other he gets this calf back to the ranch, and the calf goes on living. It is a heck of a nuisance by the way, it hangs around the back door and it thinks of itself as a pet dog and so on. One day, Pop comes in and says: “Well, we will have to take your calf “Jerry” to market.” Oh no! Now that is 8,000 times as bad as the other, because it was preceded by an overt act.

Now, to get back on the track, “Who was THEY?” That’s a big point of confusion. Who was they? YOU! I want to answer this several times. The villain in the piece was YOU - the hero in the piece was YOU. The people who were on neither side, that was YOU too. In other words, you want to know - who did it to you. Well, you did. Don’t try to find any goats.

Now, what’s the cycle there? He hurt the calf, then he saw that it was hurt, and then he felt some sympathy for the calf. What is sympathy? You have 2 tuning forks here, you sound one (a) and purely by “sympathy” this other one (b) will hum. That is sympathy, and it’s an energy flow level.

You start a PC into any part of this line, and he’s looking and looking for a goat. He keeps on looking for a goat, and he keeps talking about “they”. He keeps talking and looking further for this goat who did these terrible things to him, and all of a sudden as he is lying there on the couch he says: “Baa Baa.” (laughter) That’s very important, because he finds out he was the goat.

He does a mock-up for himself of the calf hurting, and he feels how the calf hurts. He is actually getting a wave action comming back at him which vibrates him enough, so that he gets a mock-up of that calf hurting. Now, he gets this mock-up of sympathy for the calf, and maybe it happens many times, maybe he injures many calves. Everytime he injures a calf he feels this sudden sympathy only the sympathy is getting stronger, and he finally gets up to the point where he is preventing calves from being hurt. He doesn’t want calves to be hurt anymore. People shouldn’t rope calves. When he has kids of his own, he just wales the tar out of them if they even think of roping a calf. He gives them lots of reasons, and none of them valid. The kids are not supposed to rope calves, and that’s all there is to it. Now, what do we get out of that? Injury, because of an overt act - usually this is a DED, the calves have done to him before he did something to the calves. We get that followed by sympathy, and we get that followed by protection. So your cycle is always: overt act, sympathy, protection. When you have followed that cycle up to where the protection is obsessive, it’s a psychosis.

Then you get this poor little girl who has done nothing. She was trapped, she was caught, she was ruined, and they did it, they did terrible things to her, they hypnotized her, and sent her from one track to the other track. At some time or other they wanted to fix up a political area or something, so they sent her in there to seduce the prince or something. Oh, all these awful things have happened to her, until you find her doing something, like sending the prince over to seduce somebody in another area. Or, all of a sudden you find out that this poor- defenseless little girl was sending forth the guard regiment to carve up her guests at the banquet. The guests would all be seated there at the banquet, and all of a sudden as she snapped her finger or something of the sort, everybodies head came off. It was sport.

There are people who protect animals in this fashion, and protect plants in this fashion, and protect MEST in this fashion. There are undoubtedly people in this society today who protect machinery in this fashion, and they will just cut people down who dare harm pieces of machinery. It’s just that cycle - they have done this and that, and they eventually come to protecting it. So, it will even go into machinery, however, it is much more apparent in live things.

So don’t get upset about this “they” proposition. Nobody did it to you, but you. There is no race, no peculiar, strange or fantastic race which is different. There are five invader forces active and one aborning. That is to say, there are six invader forces in total, but the one “aborning” is not active at all. It is really in its infancy. It will probably be several million years before you even see this one begin to lift its head very far. Counting from the first time most of you hit the track, counting from then (about 60 trillion years ago in the MEST universe) some of you hit the track 60 trillion years ago MEST universe, and some of you didn’t get into the MEST universe until about 3 trillion years ago - that is invader force one and invader force two. All I’m telling you here when I’m telling you any of these things, is E-meter data, confirmed from PC to PC, invariable from PC to PC, one after the other. They read on the E-meter. The incidents are there, and the incidents get processed and people get better. That is what I am telling you about- I’m not telling you romance As a matter of fact, if I were to romance this thing I could make it much, much, much the same as it is. (laughter)

One could say that a person never comes to love an item unless he has first injured it. You don’t think anything about this new roadster that you have. It’s pretty and everybody admires it. You take it down the street and run it off the curb, and you bend the running board. Everything goes along all right, and one day somebody hits it and dents it. It’s getting worse you see, and gradually as you do things to it, or you cause things to happen to it; you can get into a highly protective state of mind about the roadster. Now you understand, that although you get a cycle of: injury, sympathy, and protection for an item, that this sequence can be repeated often enough to drive you down tone scale on that subject. In other words, it gets more and more intense, because you are in sympathy with injured objects and you come down tone scale, because injured objects are down tone scale. It gets to a point finally, where you have recognized your inability in protecting or in helping some item or some object, and you go into apathy about it. You will go into apathy about a car. You will say eventually that you can’t do anything about this car. You are in apathy on the subject. Somebody tells you about a car injury, and you just feel apathetic.

Therefore, you have Invader Force One - they are really old timers, and they have been on the track an awfully long time. The reason you say Invader Farce at all, is because at some time along the line (fairly early in its youth) it took off to conquer the whole MEST universe, gobble glop- You succeeded of course, until Invader Force Two came along and you got rickety- By that time you had probably evolved into this and that, or changed into Thought People, or taken up religion, or gone into monasteries, or something of the sort, because of overt acts. You became a Thought Person and all of a sudden out of nowhere, and without any provocation from you of course, Invader Force Two suddenly showed up. They gunned you down, manhandled you, kicked you over, put you into bodies, made slaves out of you who had been emperors and kings. Now, we don’t see anything of Invader Force 3, here on Earth. That is because they are holding the fort pretty well here and there. They have never been shot down here (to earth) that I know of. I just haven’ t found any Three’s. As far as Invader Force Four is concerned; it is really holding the fort someplace or other.

The same way with animals, animals could get repeatedly injured, and you would eventually go into apathy on the subject. A small boy is given a dog. He hurts the dog, he abuses and teases the dog, and one day the dog gets hurt badly. He takes care of the dog, and he gets more and more attached to this dog, and then one day the dog kicks the bucket. Oh boy! Well, this little boy (who is getting older) will get another dog, and something will happen to this dog. Then he will get a little older, and something will happen to another dog, and ail of a sudden, he will not care to have any more dogs. He doesn’t want anything more to do with dogs. He doesn’t own a dog now, he remembers these dogs only vaguely. He talks about them seldom. He is in apathy on the subject of dogs. He doesn’t own a dog, yet once upon a time he considered dogs very joyful things to have around, but he lost one too many dogs. He is in apathy on the subject of dogs, and when he gets down to apathy about dogs, very often he will be in the valence of a dog. He has helped this dog, and he couldn’t help this dog, and finally he went into the valence of the dog and did a life continuum for him, which is the final method of helping the dog. Look at that mechanism, you have seen it in PCs.

Mind you, these people come in, (one way or another) into planets, and they just take over, that’s all. It would not be very surprising for people to suddenly land here on earth and take it over, Bang! And don’t think people (earth people) don’t know this. Do you know that Orson Wells put an “Invasion From Mars” broadcast on, and people panicked and practically died in their tracks in all directions. What panic! Why did they panic that way? Well, it had happened so often, and it certainly was restimulative. They put this same broadcast on down in South America and I think they tore apart a ten million dollar radio broadcasting building - tore it to ribbons and killed I believe, 17 people. The riot was so fantastic, people were so frightened, they went tearing around and tore everything up. On what? Just the Spanish translation of Orson Wells, “Invasion From Mars.” As a matter of fact, this is ordinary. It doesn’t happen very frequently, but every few million years some planet will get taken over in this fashion by an invader force. Usually it has been fairly spectacular. The fellows land, they’ve got on fishbowl type helmets, and they have equipment of various types. Mind you, Theta bodies don’t care what kind of MEST bodies they are picking up, supporting, and carrying around. So you could expect almost anything in terms of physical form, which matched up a particular purpose of this group.

You have seen them do it, you know people who have life continuums on for aunts, uncles, dogs, cars, and bedsteads. They are doing a life continuum because they failed completely to help, and finally the last apathy is that they abandon their own identity and live on a life continuum. You can solve more cases using life continuum.

So they would land, and all of a sudden here would be the aborigines (that is, some decayed race that had sort of forgotten what the score was) or somebody who with some relief, had gotten off to the edge of the line, and so you got a sudden enturbulence. An invader force lands, and they say: “Hey you”, and possibly one of you says: “Yes?” You are kind of scared. You see that big shiny thing out there and it’s a little bit restimulative - you wonder what it is an where it’s from. These beings don’t look like any beings you have ever seen before (for the past few lives you have handily forgotten your earlier past) they maybe look like Arslycans to you or something of the sort, and you say, “Yes, sir.” They say: “How far is it to the next town bud?” or something like that.

Now, what do you think happens with a MEST body? The same cycle. Here is a MEST body (you have of course a native feeling of aesthetics) and one day you are going along, and you’re not paying any attention much to MEST bodies, they’re just MEST bodies. You are going along on your job doing things, and you suddenly see this MEST body and it attracts you somehow or other. You say: “Isn’t that a nice MEST body?” like “Isn’t that a cute puppy?” Then some horrible thing like this might happen: You might go over and wrap yourself around this MEST body and say: “Mmmm, feels nice - nice and silky.” That’s fine, nothing has happened there, you are simply able to appreciate something aesthetically. But supposing you wrapped yourself around it, and it kicked the bucket instantly? That would certainly be a shock to you. You’d say, “What happened?” Well, you didn’t understand this particular mechanic, that a MEST body when crushed, dies. And, if you throw in a couple of thousand kilowatts on both sides of that MEST body, it would sort of go up in smoke. You don’t realize at that time that you shouldn’t do that. You say, “Gee! What happened to it? I couldn’t have done it, there it lies.” Unfortunately, you possess at that moment the facsimiles of it kicking off.

This would be just like if a flock of troops should come in here, Russian troops or something of the sort. At first there is no real thought of fighting them. Also, they usually have some gimmick like Fac. One. Now, if they are an experienced invader force, they’ve got it all rigged. They’ve got it all rigged and it will run off by rote. They will pick up these people one after the other, and they will say: “Well, you’ve got to come over here and register.” Of course, the fellow walks over and registers The light flashes, the guys past life and everything about him goes out, - and he remembers no more. Sometimes this fellow will turn around and walk back to his own group and say: “Nothing happened”, and the next guy walks up to register “SNAP” and he will walk back to his group and say: “Nothing happened.” Or they will come in and they will sell all the aristocracy in the area the idea that, “This is the way you can really control these people. We are going to put weapons of control in your hands. Now, just step right up, and sign here.” SNAP. They get the aristocracy under complete control, and control the people from there. In other words, control has been the main thing. How do you control territory? The way to control territory is to control people.

Did you ever see a little girl go up and take hold of a kitten and “squeeze” it because she “loved” it so much? She loved it so much and squeezed it, and all of a sudden the kitten is deader than a mackerel. The little girl says: “What happened?” Very upset. By the way, that is an actual case - I mean going up and saying: “What a nice MEST body - what a nice MEST body - it’s dead!”

Then you as a Thought Person (suddenly made into a slave) would cruise along for a while, and one day you would be sitting in this society and somebody would get this wonderful idea: that this is the way you ought to put electrons together so they would go BOOM. Or so they would fly out the tail end of a jet, or so they form up antigravity, or repulsers, or something. Somebody gets a big idea about electronics and there you go - and you were out and way into space - and zingity bang over to the next planet, and you gun them down and you set up the same sort of situation out of desperation.

Now, there is also the business where one realizes that his world was run all right. Here you are, you are living in a certain place and you are conducting your affairs in a certain way, and a billy goat keeps running into the front yard. You say: “I don’t want any billy goats around here.” So, you get a gate and you shut the gate, but the billy goat butts through the gate and comes in anyhow. The next day there are 2 billy goats. You growl at them and they continue eating the porch swing, and butting people when they come to call on you. You pick up a rock and say: “You billy goats beat it.” and pitch the rock at them, not intending to hit them at all, and you didn’t hit them, but the billy goats didn’t beat it. They stayed right there and every day they kept coming back, so next time you threw the rock and you did hit them. They still didn’t go away, so you got a little bit stronger weapon. Of course that depends on a good weapon estimation. Supposing your estimation was so bad that you went and bought yourself a 50 caliber rifle and said: “This will discourage those billy goats.” Billy goat splatters over half the front yard, and the other billy goat stands there, bleats, and wonders what happened to its mate. You say to yourself justifiably: “Well, that fixed him, he shouldn’t have done it. Who shouldn’t have done it? I guess I shouldn’t have done it either, he’s awful dead and messy. Here was some nicely organized MEST and it was putting along just fine, and all of a sudden I splattered it all over the terrain.” Furthermore, dead things have a way of making themselves antipathetic to living things, particularly in an August sun. You see how terribly degraded a body can get? Dead - decayed - and messy.

The second you start to run into a Thought People that don’t have MEST bodies you say: “This is very unhandy,” and you make sure that they have MEST bodies right away. So, you have been in and out of bodies, you’ve been this, you’ve been that, you’ve been sheep and goats, spacemen, space officers, governors, kings, princes, ditch diggers, slaves, glaziers, carpenters, brick layers, amusement park barkers, operators. You have turned planets into parks and parks into cinders. You, at one time or another on the track have had weapons in your hands of sufficient magnitude that you only had to say, “Boom” and the whole planet blows, and sometimes you didn’t care whether you used it or not. Interesting, you talk about drama! Well, don’t be amazed at anything your PC comes up with, because as you take that individual track map and plot it up for a PC (get those time bops, and plot those incidents in) you will find out that there were various peoples as a part of invader force one and invader force two - which you represent.

One of the finest passages that I know of is in T.H. White’s “Witch in the Wood,” whereby the boys go out to hunt a unicorn. It’s well worth reading, if you want to know a cycle of complete degradation, and complete dog-conscious boys who finally realize what they have done in killing this unicorn. It was such a beautiful unicorn and they didn’t mean it any harm, but after they killed it, it was too heavy and they had to cut its head off, and that was horrible. Then they had to drag the head back, but there was a lot of sharp gravel and it cut the head to pieces. It was really a mess. They were getting it for their mother for a birthday present. Well, the sequence on that would be that the next time they thought about killing a unicorn, they really wouldn’t think about it, they would say: “No.” Now, some hunter would come along and say: “You know, I’m going out and kill a unicorn,” and those boys would probably attack him with staves, “Oh no, you’re not going to kill any unicorn, not while we’re around.” That is your natural conclusion. They would go all the way through, and start doing a life continuum on the unicorn.

Now, there are various peoples, and these incidents occurred more or less at the same time. For instance, Fac-One is in the vicinity of one million years. Fac-One is called Fac-One because it was discovered One, and then because it is a good one for an auditor to start in auditing if he is going to audit MEST bodies. There is nothing to it. It’s a misnomer, It really should be called Fac. One Million, because that is about its date. You will find that (incident after incident) PCs, whether they are in communication with each other or not, you can put them on an E-meter and each one gets the same similar incidents in the same time areas. They go through the same cycles, very fascinating. So don’t get confused, and don’t let your PC get confused about what he’s been. Don’t let him get confused about “They”. “They” is him.

Well, after you have shot the billy goat with a rifle, don’t be too surprised if once in a while, instead of belching you say: “Baaaaa”

Don’t think there was a big, monstrous, horrible race waiting and ready to pounce at any moment. Many people, after they have gotten a certain distance through the MEST universe, had gunned down so many people, had set traps for so many people, had ruined and laid waste enough areas, that they began to think there was somebody around who was not quite healthy for the community. So, with this conviction they began to suspect there was some kind of a residual race that was fighting them. So they set this up in sort of a paranoia, this “They.” Now, you will get PCs who will tell you rather hauntedly, “I wonder if “They” are still around?’ “They” are! Sitting right there holding the electrodes. They will get the idea, “There was a THEY, there must have been a THEY.” Well, there is always a THEY, there is the individual, and there is everybody else. He lumps everybody else into a “THEY” and he is an “I” So, you have this “I” versus “THEY” catagorizing as a sloppy method of going about it.

You will find more PCs carrying on a life continuum in this fashion for animals. Every PC you know is carrying on a life continuum for a MEST body (for a large number of MEST bodies) to the point where they are completely identified with these MEST bodies. Sequences like this - they had this place, it’s a small abode on a mountain side. These are theta bodies, individuals, not filmy something’s, just individuals, and they have this nice place on the mountain side. They like to sit there and watch the rain clouds go across the valley and so on, and I’ll be a son of a gun if some hikers don’t keep coming up and throwing garbage all over. After a while they (theta beings) get tired of it. So, the leading hiker one day comes by to throw cans - and picnic papers all over this pretty little pasture, and one of the theta bodies goes over and gives him what he considers a nip. Just a little nip, just to short circuit him a little bit. Hardly anything to it, but this fellow goes into a horrible writhing and falls down dead, “I didn’t mean to do that!” Well, life goes on and this theta being doesn’t consider that this was very horrible, but the guy did, and as the days went by he sort of swelled up and bloated in the sun, it wasn’t very nice.

I’m telling you this because you are going to find PCs frantically worried about there still being such things as monitors, and the basic electronic people that inhabited or invented this MEST universe. They say, “Gee, I don’t dare tell you this, because I wonder if you were one of them. They might still be around, they might be drifting by your left ear or something of the sort.” You can quiet them down by saying, “All right, you were THEY, let’s not worry about that.” They have good reason to be worried about this. Ask them this question once in a while just to reassure them, “What - would you think about you if you could suddenly become invisible, detach yourself, and bust up anything you wanted to at will? Supposing you were suddenly able to move out and hit anybody you wanted to - BAP - just out of nowhere this person gets slapped? Supposing you were able to do that, would you be rather careful about you? Would you be spooked about you, if you were somebody else?” The guy has a tendency to say: “Yeah, I’d be afraid of me all right.” And then you say: “There is THEY.

You get awfully annoyed one day, you’re going down through the canyons and somebody has strung a fence across the canyon, and you have seen that MEST animals go there to drink. You sort of like to watch them come down to drink at this place, and somebody has fenced it. You’d say to yourself, “Huh.” Well, the fellow comes down to finish up the fencing or something like that, or maybe you broke the fence down so the animals could still go through there, and the next time the guy comes down to repair this fence you say, “Well, this time I’ll be careful, I’ll only nip him a little tiny bit, just enough to keep him away from here.” Zzzzzt, and he falls over dead too, only the top of his head comes off this time, and you say, “I didn’t mean to do that.”

Actually, we all ought to get together and arrange some sort of Code of Behavior on this whole thing, like: “Don’t sleep between ten and one on Sundays, make sure that any MEST body that you grab isn’t wearing this particular design pin, any- body tattooed with 3 small circles and a triangle around it is already owned by the corporation, no sexual hanky-panky with any of the girls in lower Hoboken, this is the territory of . . . “ You could actually get these things arranged. Somebody was just asking me, “Where is the next conference going to be held?” Well, if you remember your Arabian Nights, they knew all about this. They talked about the Genies and when the Genie was getting ready to leave, he always said he was going to fly away to Mount Calf. So, “Where is the next conference going to be held?” I told him jokingly, “Mount Calf.”

Then you have the fact that you can pick up sensation from these MEST bodies. So, you get “The Halver,” a beautiful implant that gives you sexual impulses, it aberrates sexual impulses. You use this halver one day, all of a sudden you feel something come over you and you blanket a MEST body or a couple of MEST bodies. That term “Blanket” you can use as a technical term. It means, “To settle down over one or more MEST bodies.” So, you blanket this person or persons and you were not very careful, and maybe when you finish up they are dead, just like that. You will run that out of more PCs, because there is a terrific, high level sensation (zing, bang, then apathy, death, or agony) on the part of the MEST body. You are in close emotional contact with it, with the desire to be in that contact at the start of it- and Bang, Oh boy! Remorse, regret, and you sort of have to pry yourself off of it. You’ve got a nice facsimile; you’ve got the facsimile now. Just keep that up a few times, and one day you are going among (you are flying away to Mount Calf, and you are enjoying yourself and everything) and you notice a theta being settling down over a small boy. The last MEST body that died when you went into an orgy of this character was a small boy, and you say to yourself, “Oh, that theta being shouldn’t be doing that.” For you see, if you don’t protect the thing, you become the thing that is attacking it, and you don’t want to be that. So you say, “I’ll protect that boy,” and you settle down and all of a sudden blanket the boy and defend the boy. You just fight off anything that comes in at him. Of course the boy is kind of surprised and half scared to death, and later on you try to run this and you get his facsimile of being frightened. But, you have protected him, and he survived it all right.

Seriously, you are looking down the barrel at a very interesting future. Unfortunately, practically none of you have any high reality on this yet, so you are perfectly willing to sit there and listen to me tell you about it. Fortunately, your reality isn’t high on it all, at the moment. But you get some Technique 88 processing on this line, and this body, and you will say: “It’s a very funny thing, the book first came out and I thought Hubbard was crazy, but I found out after running prenatals out of 862 Pcs that they exist.” Then you go up the line and you say, “Well, Hubbard is crazy again.” Then some people beg off and they say, “Well, Hubbard makes a postulate and that makes it true.” I wish to thank the people that set that rumor going. That really sets one up as cause, but it doesn’t happen to be true. So, on all this new stuff, of course Hubbard is crazy again.

Well, you don’t become unconscious of what you are doing for an awful long time. You do this just repeatedly. You start off on a crusade of defending small boys and then you finally set yourself up - possibly there is a small group of boys in the woods that have sort of learned that you are around. Maybe they have built a little cairn of stones or something of the sort, like the Greeks used to do to the Wood God. You are the theta body that lives there, and you protect them, and you see that when they lose marbles, they get more marbles. You take care of them one way or the other. One of them gets sick one day and you go over and try to pull him through it, and you don’t pull him through it. You hit a bad curve - you are all the time going down tone scale, but fortunately there is a terrific depth of tone scale to go down. You can do it for centuries, for thousands of years really, without finally hanging up and going psycho on it. There is just enormous latitude allowable. You can do it over and over and over, times and times, so that you just process a few of these and a fellow becomes alert to what he is doing and what he did. This is fortunate, because the theta body has great capability and capacity of recovering, and so on.

Fortunately this thing will unsettle itself, and settle itself out again, because some of you are going to get very ambitious and ride over your initial points of confusion and get swamped up in a hurry, and some of you will be too late. You see, some of you will say: “I’ll wait for somebody else to try these techniques, I’m going on and keep processing one life, and so forth.” As the days and the months go by, somebody is always coming up the tone scale. Your PCs are just easing up so fast, and then all of a sudden you find out that the social order has changed or something or other has happened. This happened and that happened, and somebody is off to the races. Well, you will have to get in there in a hurry and really dig, so don’t be late on this material.

Now, as you went along through this period, you gradually became more and more addicted to protection of ... sympathy for ... protection of .... Everytime you blanketed a MEST body, it became a little more difficult for you to get off of it afterwards, until finally one day, you didn’t get off of it. You stayed with it, and there you were. Understand, that when you did this, you actually felt perfectly content and justified to do it. You said, “Now I’m going to take care of this being, I’m going to nurse this being along and I’m going to take good care of this being, make sure that it gets along fine, make it smart, make it admired, and so on.” You are just devoting yourself actually, to the care of this body, out of all the tremendous number of overt acts, protections, and failures. You finally get down to a point where you sacrifice your own identity to this MEST body, and you say, “I’m doing a life continuum now, of the MEST body.” Now what happens? You take care of this body, etc. but inexplicably the thing starts to get old. It gets older and older, and you try to make it young again, and frisky, and help it, and of course you are the only one that has any thoughts about it, so you try to take care of it, but it keeps getting older. What happens? Does the little boy remember his first dogs? You have processed a lot of PCs. Do they remember their allies vividly? They sure don’t. Well, one day the theta being (living now as a MEST being) is going along and the MEST being dies. OH, this is a horrible shock. No being there, it’s lost. This is a real loss, big loss, gone, and he will pick up another one, somewhere or other.

There are 2 kinds of Theta Clear, you see, Theta Clear would mean clear of a MEST body, or cleared of the necessity to have a MEST body. That would be your basic definition of a Theta Clear - clear of a need to have a body.

By the way, in the early days these were picked up in you - they weren’t picked up as babies or anything like that. You just go off, and you find another one. Eventually you get to the point where you devote yourself to it, and you got to a point finally, where you didn’t think that you could exist unless you had a MEST body, and every time you lost one of these MEST bodies it wiped out everything about it. What happens? What do you do with a babies toys after the baby is dead? If you lose a child, what do you do with its toys? Do you keep them out on the mantle piece? No, you sure don’t? You bury them deep in a drawer some place where you won’t look at them. Well, that’s what the theta body does with all the facsimiles of the MEST bodies its lost. It just throws them aside. It says, “NO, no, that was yesterday, I’ll do better tomorrow somehow or other,” each time, on each cycle. It gets to the point finally where it picks them up as babies. On each cycle as it goes along, he will just hope, hope, hope he is going to big, strong, ambitious, and he’s going to do everything for it, going to get it up higher in life, and suddenly he realizes that this same cycle is being followed all over again.

Your next level is a Cleared Theta Clear - whereby all of a persons engrams have been turned into conceptual experience, he is clear all the way along the track, he can really deliver the horse-power and the whip-crack without much trouble. Two different beings.

You don’t need any implants to blank out between lives when you look at this mechanism, because it is an automatic wipeout. A person just lays aside the loss, the failure, because this is a big failure - the loss of this MEST body. Now, you become addicted to the care of MEST bodies. You have a natural liking for living things. That is natural, but an addiction - a life continuum (for all these MEST bodies consecutively) is very far from natural and as a matter of fact, is quite insane. Supposing you knew somebody who was nothing but a series of life continuums on all of his allies, and he wasn’t there at all himself. You would say, “Gee whiz, he’s sort of funny.” Well, that’s your PC, he is a life continuum for all of these bodies. He doesn’t admit, even to himself, that any of these are his own experiences, “They belong to the body, they belong to the body.” So, what is the process by which to undo this? The process by which you undo it is - to locate with an E-meter or just making the person travel on the track, you locate the first time, or one of the very early times when the theta being of the individual blanketed, for any reason what so ever, a MEST body. Run that very thoroughly. Then get a next time this theta being blanketed a MEST body, for any reason whatsoever, and then run a third one, locate it and run that incident out. Then find 3 or 4 second dynamic blankets. Times when the PC has blanketed beings or animals on a sexual line, and run each one of those (as itself) out. Every one of those is an overt act, and very often they go back to (as the motivator) the Halver - this one that makes a person Black on one side and White on the other. The halver is usually the motivator for those sexual ones, but you’ll get blankets without that one, you would have gotten blankets anyhow. So, you get these sexual adventures which will run against this, and run against that, the halver. Now, you will find that each one of these when it is an overt has motivators kicking around the track that you will have to run half way, and they will just show up automatically. You run the motivator - run the overts - run the motivator - run the overts. So, run at least 3 times when your PC has blanketed MEST bodies for any purpose whatsoever, usually way back. Run those all out, and you have to resolve them as maybes, because each one is. Then run at least 4 times, 4 incidents where your PC has blanketed MEST bodies (1 or 2 MEST bodies at the same time, on the second dynamic) for the second dynamic reasons. By the time you have done that, your PC should be pretty well differentiated with regard to which is he.

Now, in that it is confusing to some degree (speaking of confusion) to process ones Theta Body while a MEST body is still injected into it. In that this is a little bit puzzling, probably the first level of concentration should not be on a full clear of the track. The concentration should be on clearing up those things which make it necessary to have a MEST body. Then of course, you can go on and process without having a MEST body inside of you and interfering with you.

He will all of a sudden recover recognition of what he is. He will know what is he is by that time. He will know where his theta body is too. Now, having done that - and by the way, 20 such Incidents of each kind here (blankets) would not be too many to run to achieve that goal, because it doesn’t take too long to run them, with attention units and so forth. Then you run the incident which we will call “The Duplicator”. We will call this incident “The Duplicator.”

Now, don’t think you have to have a MEST body in order to run engrams, you don’t. Your MEST body kind of gets in your road. This is the next point of confusion that I would like to cover with you. Which is the body? What body are you trying to process? Well, there are lots of somatics that you have run into on the track that just didn’t reduce worth a nickel. Where were they, what were they, etc.? The basic confusion of homo sapiens is, “Who am l?” Everywhere you go you can ask this one question, “Who are you?” and the fellow will give his name, until he realizes that you are serious. Then he will start puzzling over it, and then he will start telling you, “Well, I don’t like such people, because they wont let me be myself.” And you say: “Who are you, and what do you mean by, YOURSELF? Do you mean your flesh and blood?” “That is very peculiar” you say, “because if you lost an arm, you can go down to any Veterans Hospital and find fellows who have lost limbs and so forth, and they don’t consider themselves any less them because they lost a limb. So, their identity didn’t seem to be too dependant upon the flesh. So what is this? Who are you? What can you do, and what can you not do?”

Here is a theta being and here is the individual which he is today, in solid lines. He thinks he is this MEST body. Well, make him find the one represented by the dotted line, the facsimile that he has confused with his present identity. Now, that facsimile is “ridge,” it’s got ridges on it, and it is fitted pretty well over his present MEST body. It is an old facsimile - you will have to run it as ridges, and you will find out that it is a Holder. He is holding on to this MEST body, and he may or may not be trying to get off of it, but it’s a MEST body that he unsuccessfully tried to leave. It’s a facsimile which says, “I couldn’t get off of it. This old one is a point where he got hung up with it. That is “The Duplicator.” Here he is, and actually in his theta beingness he has a facsimile that he thinks he is - and it’s thousands, or hundreds of thousands, or millions of years old.

Now if you have a basic confusion on identity; of course it is an identification, and it is very basic, and so it would be very aberrative. What is the Number One identification then, for this race? It is: “Who am I,” but there is a very specific “Who am I” about it. The reason that you could never really admit that your MEST body was you, is because - it isn’t, and therefore you get confused. You say: “Who am I” and you look in the mirror and it doesn’t seem quite right to you. It isn’t right. You are your Theta Body, but as long as you have these things held so tightly, one to the other - you consider that you are somehow inside a MEST body, and that you are the MEST body.

In other words, but let me draw that for you again. I’ll draw it for you the other way now. Here he was, in dotted lines (B). Here he was, and he had a MEST being here (this may have been a couple of million years ago) he had hold of this MEST being, and here (in dotted lines) is his Theta being surrounding this MEST body, and has a hold of it for some reason or other. He was exerting pressure on all sides of it - it was actually probably struggling or something and it was making a ridge pattern. A pattern that is just like a shell; it is almost solid in this facsimile. So, he had a hold of this MEST body and then tried to leave, and he didn’t make it. Now today, your PC is walking around and here (B - in solid lines) is his Theta body, and here (in solid lines - B) is the MEST body he has now. He has the old facsimile of the old MEST body (dotted lines) that he is packing right along with him, complete with its ridges and everything else. He is packing that old facsimile right with him, and actually it is probably his arthritis. He is trying so hard to hold on to this old one. He will try to hold on to this body with this old one, and it’s liable to smash his nose out of line, or it will aberrate him one way or the other. In other words, it will aberrate his physical features, because he is trying to make this present body into a duplicate of the old body, willy nilly, unwittingly. Now, because he can’t get off this body he restimulates the other one - sometime or other, in an operation or something, he tried to leave and he found he couldn’t do it, so then he has both, the MEST body and the facsimile. In some PCs you will find several “Duplicators”, there are several facsimiles that are in restimulation, and so there he is in a shell, and so on.

Now, that is a basic confusion. You add to this confusion by identifying everybody you see by their MEST body, and so you compound the felony. You keep saying to people: “That is Jones, he has green hair. That is Smith, he always wears a plaid suit, etc. etc.” In other words, you identify the individuality by the MEST body.

You will get many PCs who have the feeling that there is an actual ridge to themselves, that they are a ridge, or that some area is a ridge, and that their Theta beingness is itself an actual physical shell. They will think that this is the case, because of these old duplicator facsimiles. Well, find that facsimile, “The Duplicator” and run it. You will have a time with that. By that time the PC should have differentiated well enough, but he will still have a tendency to say, “Let’s see, which body am I? Oh yes, yeah, I can run this and run that, etc.” You will have to run out these times when he was unable to get off, in order to get him to a position where he can just step off. Some people will be found who can do this right now, some people have to be audited through a half-dozen incidents, some 25, and some 200 before they can do this, and the process of stepping off means just that. Now you mock-up with a facsimile a MEST body of your own, or you can take over another MEST body.

You can process this on any PC and start to get yawns off of him, because he knows basically that it isn’t true. Then, he is identified as a name applied to his MEST body. Now, his identification of people by looking for their looks and appearances as a MEST body, and his identification as a being as a MEST body with a finite name in this lifetime and so forth, is also a confusion line. In addition to this, you have a whole society that is propitiating the MEST bodies they have hurt, harmed, seized, mauled, mangled, and shot to pieces - by doing nothing practically but taking care of a MEST body. Work it, feed it, work it, feed it, make it sleep, dress it, clothe it, just like the care that a mother does. Actually, if you want to know what mother care is, just start running this stuff on yourself. You’ll find out how you hover over, take care of, and protect this MEST body, and you know that a little child which is carefully protected by mama is seldom very healthy. And so it is - if you cannot abandon yourself just to use this MEST body, you don’t find the MEST body very healthy. You are too busy hovering over it, taking care of it, patting it into line, making sure it has its rubbers on, making sure it doesn’t go out in the cold, and making sure it doesn’t get hungry, etc. etc. You also have every advertisement you see practically telling you - “Take care of the MEST body.” Now, the only liability you have is the food, clothing and shelter of the MEST body, and police liability. It can work, but it can be identified by police. Therefore, your activities are limited to this degree. Also, your activities are limited because it is a carbon oxygen engine which has a tendency to run out of fuel every so many hours. And you have an economic system that you set up to make it necessary for you to earn so many dollars in order to acquire so many calories of food to feed the MEST body to keep it going so that it can work, so that it can earn so many dollars so that it can get so much food to keep the MEST body going so it ....

Now, here is another typical incident, and it may be necessary for you to run this incident before you do it. Here was your Theta being and you are doing all right, he had a MEST body and everything was swell. By the way, are prenatals ever restimulative to this. A MEST body in the womb is putting up a sphere. Well, a baby in a womb has a sphere around it, and a Theta being very often has one of these old facsimiles with a ridge - this area is a ridge, energy is piled up there to make a ridge and then he joins this MEST body in the womb, and it almost automatically keys in an old duplicator, because this is a body in a sphere, and that is the way he feels about it. This whole process is why prenatals go into restimulation so easily. You don’t need to audit any prenatals anymore, but you will find out they hang up with this. All right, here is the Theta being doing perfectly fine. He got hold of this MEST body and he had it animated, and he was doing all right by it, and one day some other Theta being came along and blanketed him. This other Theta being didn’t see that MEST body had a Theta being, and settled over it - Zing - and you have this being who was here originally, struggling and trying to blow the second one off. The one that blanketed him sees a terrific upset and all that sort of thing, and it makes quite an enturbulence. Later on, PCs begin to wonder and say: “I wonder if there are any Theta beings around here?” They get scared of them, because they have been jumped on accidentally - blanketed every once in a while. Now, here then is a bad situation. It is also bad for the exterior being (the one who does the blanketing) because he says: “Here is just a MEST body,” and he comes down over this thing, and all of a sudden it starts developing voltage. It goes - Zing - and it’s uncomfortable, so you get a confusion where this happens on the track. So, don’t run into an incident of this character, which is “The Double Play.” Don’t run into this situation and wonder why it is so confused, because all of a sudden he will say: “Yes, I know where my Theta body was, because I can feel it crushing here.” What he can feel is another Theta body crushing him. There is a double.

Then they set it up so that you can’t short cut it. You are not supposed to walk into any bank and pull out a gun and shoot down a couple of guards and get a million bucks. It’s passé. They used to do this here in the West, but they don’t do it now - not as frequently- You aren’t supposed to do that, and the best guarantee that you won’t do it is the fact that your MEST body has the distinguishing characteristics of finger prints. It is so high, it’s so wide, it has certain coloration’s, and it can be put in the clink, and you don’t know how to pull yourself off of it and leave. So therefore, police control becomes possible where a MEST body is. Economic control becomes possible only where MEST bodies are something for you to think about.

Now, the mystics had what they used to call “Concentric Shells.” They conceived man to be built this way: and each one of these shells was a new identity, and so on. Actually, it’s a take off on The Double Play incident. Now, as you run this you will be able to find concentric shells, and run them one after the other. You will find a lot of these old ridges, but they are just old ridges, that’s what they are. They are pretty heavy, pretty messy, they burn down rather easily, and you can free an Individual this way. Always use Technique 80 in reducing these incidents. Now, those are most of the conditions involved in this.

All of these things form together to make a process all by itself. if I didn’t tell you anything about Theta bodies, but I just designed this process to process out of you (one way or another) MEST body care: People insisting you take care of your MEST body, and you insisting they take care of their MEST body - people identifying you as your MEST body and you identifying people as their MEST body - it would look very mysterious to people, because they would come up the tone scale faster on that than they would on any other straight wire. Identification, identification - just process out that, up along the line. You could take a PC who didn’t know anything about MEST bodies or Theta bodies and give this designed therapy to him, and he would get well. That is very peculiar, because it is sitting on a hidden truth, but it wouldn’t matter that the truth was hidden, he would get well. That’s the test of any one of these things.

I want to add a word on Energy Running. I made you a list of the bouncers, denyers, holders, etc. You will find out that your PC is not at all willing (sometimes) to go very deeply into this, and he will go into it so far, and he will sort of bounce out of it. That is why it is very good to run this on a meter. You can tell whether he is running or not. He will say: “Yes, I’m running it, yes, I’m running it,” and the meter just sits there. “I went through it again,” the devil he did. What has happened when you get that sort of situation is that he has settled down over this area, and there was a dispersal going on. He settles over this area and has run into this dispersal, and of course the dispersal bounces him. So, he goes into the incident, there is a dispersal going on, and he can’t settle over this MEST body because of the dispersal, usually that’s a Double Play incident going on. This inner-body starts dispersing energy to drive this other one off. All right, here is your dispersal going, and your PC is bouncing. What did you do with the early Techniques we had on a bouncer? You made him repeat the bouncer until he got into the incident again. You de-sensitized the bouncer, in other words.

You want to try this straight wire, “When is the last time you identified somebody by seeing what they looked like?” The fellow says: “Why all the time of course.” You say: “OK, go back to the first time it struck you as odd that you would do that.” He says: “It never did, Oh! Wait a minute, I remember thinking about it when I was five.” Now, this makes a process, but if you have been addicted to, pushed into, held in, mauled in, and convinced that you must have a MEST body (for generations and generations) you of course consider yourself your MEST body. If somebody says you are something else and you try to locate that something else; you are going to have a hard time doing so. You will say, “Huh?” and if you didn’t have some of the behavior of a Theta body, and if you didn’t possess the whole track, the probability is that you would never (most of you) never locate your Theta body. You would just go on arguing. It takes incidents in the past to show them up. Now, the sequence of how you come into possession of a MEST body, and why you took over a MEST body, resolves your having a MEST body, and suddenly brings you out into your own identity. Did you ever see anybody that was actually insane on the subject of taking care of something? Let’s say that somebody has a keepsake, and every time you try to touch this keepsake, or do anything to this keepsake, or remove this keepsake in any way - they would practically spin. They would spend all their time taking care of this.

Well, in this case - he gets it - he struggles for a minute - and all of a sudden he is off it again - he’s gone. He says: “Yes, I’m running it.” Oh no he’s not, he has bounced. You can tell whether he has bounced or not, because he is suddenly calm about the whole thing. He was excited, and then he is calm - he is bouncing, he is hitting an energy dispersal. Well, get him to run the feeling of energy exuding from what he is trying to settle over. You just get him to run that, run it from its central source, and all of a sudden he reduces that particular dispersal and he goes right into the incident. In such a wise, if he sticks, you know that he has hit ridges. He is in a ridge if he is stuck. If he is running along just fine, it is an energy flow, just a plain energy flow. He will go on and reduce the incident.

How about a mother? Have you ever seen a mother obsessed with the care of a child? The child grows, it gets to be a man, and mother is still taking care of it. Obsession - Obsession. No freedom of action for this person at all. She keeps taking care of that child until she goes to her grave. She is obsessed with the idea of it. She lives in the child - she lives for the child - the childs’ goals and ambitions (which are hers, implanted into the child usually) when they are obtained, they are obtained for her. This is her life, she has sublimated her own existence into the existence of the child. Have you ever seen this?

Now, what do we have to know in particular to safeguard against? It’s just the same thing as in Technique 80. It’s, don’t let him run too much motivator without running some overt, and don’t let him run too much overt without running some motivator. He will tell you what the overts are, and he will tell you what the motivators are, because they are sitting right there, they aren’t hard to find. They are usually part of the picture that he is getting - he is getting some sort of a picture - well, he’s getting the other side of the picture. So, remember that he can come off of it.

All right, you have the same situation with regards to you and a MEST body, only its intensity is about 50 to 100 times greater. It’s way up there in intensity. The first intimacies, the initial shocks, whereby you started mopping up, combing up, kicking in the teeth, and throwing away MEST bodies - started to mount up on you and mount up on you and finally you started to protect them. You got this same cycle of overt act, sympathy, and then protection. You can see this operate (it’s covered in Advanced Procedures and Axioms) you can see this operating all through human behavior.

Now, what is a real convincer for this Technique? How would you like to be able to get a tactile (maybe for the first time) and something that really feels like a tactile, and you get it 2 feet from your body or 5 inches out from your head where there isn’t any nerve line? Maybe your PC has never felt anything in recalling his facsimiles, and all of a sudden he is getting a tactile- clear out here! He is touching something out there. You are running an old facsimile, and you are getting a sense of touch maybe way out here, that is very solid. Well, don’t let him get just a faint shadow of touch when you are running a facsimile, because it is the Theta body that gets perceptics. The real good perceptics you get on a case, you get with the Theta body, the Theta being. MEST body perceptics are faint compared to the perceptics of which the Theta being is capable. So, you want to get a sense of touch. I can’t tell you too much about sight on Theta beings, you can figure that out for yourselves. It’s an easy one, and you don’t have to know about it anyhow, but the sense of touch is something that you should remark on, because you can get a sense of touch exterior to the MEST body, and if your PC can’t get this sense of touch in a facsimile, outside himself, lord knows what he is running. It will be there, he can get it, the only reason he won’t is this dispersal effect probably, or because you have just hung him up in too many facsimiles, and he is on a sort of apathy line. If he doesn’t get a sense of touch around himself, or outside of himself, why you just haven’t run it very far. Now, you could possibly start one of these incidents through a half dozen times, and then after you’ve done this he would say: “Oh, that’s fine, I’m not worried about it anymore.” He probably hit it once and bounced- He hit a dispersal and bounced. He’s not in the incident, he hasn’t been in the incident, he isn’t worried about it because he is running away from it so fast that he is away from it. You make sure that he runs it until he gets a tactile on the incident, and a tactile from the incident. You make sure that he runs it that long. Do you understand?

We will have to take up love, in connection with that. But this cycle which I will go over tonight - this cycle takes place and finds you sacrificing everything for this MEST body. Why do your past lives disappear? The grief is too great on the loss of this intimate thing. We got into a psychotic line on this. That is actually what it is, it’s a psychosis. The way people safeguard each other and so forth - the way they safeguard and take care of themselves - their complete inability to go into any kind of an abandoned action, a clear swinging action - should demonstrate to you this.

Don’t think that because the Theta body is filmy, thin, ethereal, and ephemeral, that it isn’t solid on its contacts with the MEST universe - it sure is. And on recall, you will get a stronger tactile perception than your PC has ever been able to get with his MEST body, because all MEST body perceptics are secondary to Theta body perceptics. The heaviest incidents that your PC has run since he has been in processing were (unwittingly) Theta being incidents. He didn’t know quite what they were, and the somatics didn’t fit in quite the right place. His arms were sort of sticking through in some direction or other, but they are the strong perceptics. He ran these strongly, and all of a sudden he had this weird somatic over here, and there was apparently a head over here on this side, coming half-way through his head. So, what you have got is a Theta body that throws this facsimile into place, and it just happens to penetrate this present MEST body, and as it touches this body it makes ridges, because this MEST body has some matter in it which conflicts with the old energy flows. Do you see how this is?

You will suddenly find an actual other dynamic relationship, the first dynamic is NOT to the MEST body. Dynamic one is the Theta body to the Theta body. The Theta bodies’ concern with the Theta body is dynamic one. Apparently, dynamic one is the Theta bodies’ concern for the MEST body. When you say about somebody, “H is all on the first dynamic, he is number one, he is taking care of himself, and he is getting things.” He is actually getting things for this MEST body. He is doing things for this MEST body to get ahead - this, that, and so on. It’s his own MEST body alright, but he is actually doing something for another object than himself, and he can get pretty psycho. He can get very protective on this line, oh! he can really go a long distance from there. You think this is the first dynamic - No! It’s not! The first dynamic is not that, you are looking actually at a group action.

Now, what is a Theta body after you get! all through with it? It is a body capable of possessing any other body, but it can also do a mock-up and be its own body. It is a composite of all the memories that a person could have. There are 2 types of Theta Clear. The Theta being which is cleared of the necessity or compulsion to have a body, and a Theta being which is cleared all the way along the track. Well, make the one without any need or compulsion for a MEST body, before you make the other. I would recommend, if you process PCs to make them very well, that you don’t tell them what you are trying to process, just tell them what you are looking for. You will be able to process more, and you will be able to process it faster than processing MEST bodies. If you must process MEST bodies process it in this life only, and if you have to go back into the past about MEST.

Have you ever seen a family where somebody would fight at the drop of a hat if somebody insulted his sister, brother, or something like that? You are getting that kind of a protective relationship of the Theta body (the individual) towards this thing called the MEST body- Now, somebody comes along and he challenges this. He says: “Hey look here, this isn’t you.” The other guy says: “Oh yes it is,” and you know, you have to process 3 or 4 incidents before he gets over it, and all of a sudden he says: “What!” and there it is, plain as could be. However, in order to get there, he will go through a period of confusion. The main confusion is that every time he tries to run out the somatic on some old MEST body he has, he’s got a MEST body sitting right there, inside the field where he is trying to run the somatic. This is kind of rough, and so he begins to think that he is running the somatics out of the MEST body.

When he is running whole track, he thinks he is running his own track, until he is shown how, and why, and what’s happening with regard to it. You can get him over that area of confusion by demonstrating to him, tactile exterior to his body, tactile stronger and plainer than he has ever experienced in running on the track in his MEST body. You show him that a foot or two from him and he’ll say, “Something is happening.” Then you get him when he has done a Blanket (which is the term for throwing yourself over a MEST body) where he is blanketing a couple or something like that - he obviously has two MEST bodies there. He knows this, he senses it, and all of a sudden he has his shape and general characteristics. Then you have to resolve his emotional attachment for MEST bodies, the emotional attachment for the earliest MEST bodies on the line, and after that he begins to loosen up and free up. You don’t care whether this fellow walks off (and this is not a goal of processing) and leaves this MEST body or not. Nobody is trying to take anybodies MEST body away from him, but you would like to put him into a situation where he can take care of this MEST body, where he would at least be free to leave it - or at least you want to be free to leave yours yourself. You can leave it or stay with it, keep it or not keep it. In other words, that is returning ones self- determinism, and then you could go through life very happily.

By the way, a Theta body has great potentialities in reshaping a MEST body, but as long as it is aberratively unaware of the fact that it is holding a MEST body, it will pull that MEST body all out of shape using past facsimiles on it. It will just haul it out of shape. It will make it grow in the wrong direction, and the wrong size, and the wrong shape, and malform its bones, do everything to it that you could think of: warp it, twist it, (all unwittingly) because it is taking such good care of it. It’s holding on, and the more things that happen to it, the harder the Theta body will hold on to it, and finally the fellow is in horrible condition - he gets normal. Now he is no longer free to shape himself or grow.

Now, suppose you get him unconfused on this subject, and bring him up the line to a point where he knows where the old facsimiles are, and what these new facsimiles are - he can remold, and don’t think that flesh won’t remold. It will remold rather rapidly. You get them over the first initial humps on the line and a fellow can pretty well straighten up or change a lot of his physiology. He can do this, he can straighten himself up remarkably, considerably. There is where you get the elasticity of the body. One fellow gets into an accident and his body falls to pieces, he never gets over it. Another fellow gets into an accident and gets all torn up, but he all of a sudden heals up - Boom - and he seems to be as good as new. Terrific variability’s! It is the capability and awareness of the Theta body in taking care of MEST bodies, and that’s what you process.

As I talk to you about this you go all the way back along the line, and you hit a lot of invalidation’s. As your PC hits these invalidation areas (these heavy force areas which crush him in, smash him down, and so on) he gets, “Can’t believe it,” and you restimulate the unreality in your PC. You understand that by bringing yourself up the tone scale, by clearing up any confusion YOU have about your own case, about what you are doing, that you can take Technique 80 and process any phase or facet of some other individual. You don’t have to make a Theta Clear out of him, but you can make him well. When you get yourself way up along the line, do you realize that nobody could restimulate you? Nobody could confuse you very much. Somebody threatens he is going to do so and so to you. So what? So what if he did, what would he hit? He would hit the MEST body, and that is about all he could hit. If you were perfectly capable of putting a MEST body back into condition in a heck of a hurry, you could cure yourself up of things you never dreamed of curing yourself of before. So, all I am asking you to do as individuals, is not process PCs up to that level particularly; process yourself up to that level. Then you can process PCs up to any level you choose, which seems to be rather important to me. Possibly, a couple of hundred Theta Clears on the face of this earth today, could handle this world the way it has never been handled before. If they stuck to it to straighten things out, and they stuck together, and they were fairly well agreed upon their goals - that they were going to put this planet in pretty good condition, they would probably lay it out, segment it out, and figure it out. Gee! Things would get, - uh - different. I wouldn’t say they would get calm. You wonder if a group of Theta Clears would hang together, and I can very well state, they would.

In the very complex process involved here then (it doesn’t look very complex to you the first moment you start running into it and it starts proving up) you will find your PC going over a bridge of confusion. What his basic confusion is however, is first: Where is he? What is he? and then eventually he will get a somatic and this somatic will be different from what and where he thinks it ought to be. Then he will have an awful time running this somatic, because he’s got a MEST body in the place where the old MEST body was. After he has run this and its emotional cycle 2 or 3 times - it unconfuses, and he more or less goes across the bridge. You can expect to have anybody you try to process through that area . . . you can expect to go through it- yourself - to find your MEST body very much in the road of your old MEST body facsimiles that are inside of the Theta body. They will get in the road, and you will get all mixed up sometimes, but that is about the only mix up there is.

Once you get that thing - straightened out, you have straightened out the basic neurosis’s possible in life, which is a confusion of identity. You get that straightened out, and you no longer have any confusion of identity. The second you have no con- fusion of identity, believe me, nobody can do anything to you. Except to turn some electronic guns on you, and get you re-aberrated and into some sort of situation. Or you going out and getting yourself fouled up beautifully and gorily by taking over this MEST body, and that MEST body, and this other MEST body, and getting stuck finally on one, and saying: “The dear, sweet thing, I’ll take good care of it.”

Then you wind up by saying: “I’m it. I’m going to devote myself wholly to it, now I’ve sacrificed everything for It.” Simple, and silly.

The confusion then, is just these things that I have enumerated. The first is, Don’t confuse these 2 processes. You can run anything with Technique 80. Technique 88 is clearing the MEST body out of the Theta body. Technique 88 is the handling of the Theta body, and it is a Theta body line of techniques. Now, if we had another method of application besides 80, which was applicable on 88, we would use it. It would not alter 88. Understand this - it wouldn’t alter 88, because all 88 is, is the knowledge and know how necessary to clear a Theta body. You have to have the data - 88 is the data. Where has it been? What has it done? Now understand that there is a terrific amount of technology involved in this sort of thing. I’m not telling you this is hard to know. It isn’t hard to know, but believe me, it is pretty hard to find out. I stand up here very glibly, and I tell you that the Theta body is on the outside. How long do you think it would take to find that out? How long do you think it took to develop some kind of a technique whereby you could demonstrate it to somebody so that he could get unconfused? How long do you think it took to go through the walls of confusion which I am telling you about right now, and fight through them completely blind? It took quite a while. But, I’m telling you now, right where the confusions are.

The next confusion line is the person trying to run a Theta body - he’s trying to run a- Theta body holding some old MEST body (he is his Theta body) you are trying to process this old MEST body, and he is getting it confused with his own MEST body. The next thing you know, you think you are processing this body here in present time with big somatics, only that isn’t where it is - it’s past. You have got to get him to a point where he is differentiating between this body and the body he’s had. It’s long gone, he is processing its facsimiles. When you get to a state where that is very easy to do (and by the way, that isn’t very hard to do) all of a sudden you feel this body kind of evaporate, and your concentration level is very very high on your present MEST body. You are very aware of it - it is something like having a sliver in your finger - you are very aware of it. You will eventually get to the point where you sort of feel no substance for this body, and you feel the old body. That is when your facsimiles are really running well, and running smoothly. Let’s say that you are running and feeling the arm of the old body, and the facsimiles are so arranged that the arm of the old body actually penetrates through this body, but you don’t feel this body at all, you just feel the arm of the old body. Do you get the idea? You just get the shape, the size, the characteristics of the old body, disentangled from this body. Well, the old facsimile is in the past, and this body is in the present, so what -you are actually doing is separating past and present, and your awareness of time markedly increases.

The next thing that there is any confusion on at all is simply your desire - why did you do it, and so on. I can tell you by rote why you did it, but you will have to run it in order to be convinced, because it is pretty powerful, pretty strong. It is just the magnitude of emotion on the incident, that’s all. It isn’t that you have to cry or anything else, these emotions run very easily. There is very little confusion possible, if the truth be known. Those are the points of confusion.

The other one is: Don’t let anyone get into the basis of “THEY.” You can audit somebody and process them on motivators, motivators, motivators, what was done to him, what was done to him, what was done to him in the MEST universe. He gets the idea finally that there wasn’t anything all through the MEST universe but a bunch of villains who had nothing as their goal except his banishment’s, punishments, and kicking him in the teeth, and this is not true. He sure did his share. So, don’t let anybody get confused about that. The second you start to get anybody confused about that, you have a point where you know that you are not running 80 correctly. That is to say, you are not running enough overt acts or enough DEDs. It tells you immediately that this person has done far more overt acts than he has motivators to account for them, the second he starts that line with you - so you just run overts instead, Pay attention to this fact: Are you all unbalanced? Do you keep on running on this PC things that have happened to him? Or do you salt it off, and get what he has done to others?
