Okay. And this is the afternoon lecture of February the 3rd. We’re going to do a little bit of work on case patch-up today. I mean just that, no more. Also a few tricks of the trade and so forth.
Your activity in auditing must take into account auditing. Auditing is a specialized action. It has not happened before to the individual. It lays in a peculiarity of behavior pattern all of its own, which occasionally, when derailed, can interrupt the progress of his case somewhat. This is not difficult to patch up, but it is something which has to be patched up as itself.
Now, the reason it has to be patched up as itself is simply because it is not comparable, actually, to his behavior pattern, normally. And therefore it’s a new type of lock and so forth. It doesn’t fit into any particular category except auditing. It comes right close to thebusiness of livingness and as such, sort of lays in a little, abrupt, short curve or pattern of the entire track and it can lay that in quite abruptly.
Now, auditing stirs up automaticities and as an auditor you have to know how to handle automaticities. And this is the main thing that auditing stirs up and throws into action.
Let’s take some preclear-doesn’t work well. You ask him, “All right, now, have you been audited before?”
Now this is an inevitable question. It’s a question you must ask. “Have you ever been audited before?”
And he says, “Yes, Jerry Switzbottom out in Pokokomuck which is-he was a graduate of the Dianetics Ramfadoodle Foundation and he ran Spooforino Procedure on me and this is where you get the bams going into the cetas and so forth.”
And you say, “Well, is that what that funny hitch is when you walk?”
And he says, “Well, I have been doing that ever since. I keep bamming my ceta all the time.” [laughter]
And you must handle this quite routinely-routinely with this fellow. Somebody has been fooling around with his mind. Well, the same way, psychoanalysis is its own pattern. And somebody has been fooling around with somebody’s mind so, very often, but not ordinarily, because it wasn’t very serious-it didn’t have much effectiveness-we’ll have to handle psychoanalysis in the same way.
Well, some auditors’ ideas of auditing are peculiar, to say the least. And when they even track in close to an actual process, they will sometimes kick in and out funny and weird things that wouldn’t ordinarily have occurred to the individual. Therefore, you must ask the question, which is the only point I am trying to make, “Have you been audited before?”
And whatever he says, you must realize that he has had some sort of-if he’s been audited well, all right. I mean, he’s up. But if he hasn’t, it may take him a few minutes to recall his auditors. The worst auditor will be buried the deepest. Now, just take that and put it down there good and black, as far as your handling a preclear is concerned: the worst auditor is buried the deepest.
Now, one of the ways to do this, if you exteriorize the fellow and he doesn't seem to be making much progress in a hurry, is to suspect on this order if you haven’t routinely asked the question and you just chase him around to all the auditing rooms. And he said he was audited three times earlier in three different rooms. That’s fine. Then you can expect the fourth room to show up and the fifth and the sixth and the seventh and the eighth and the ninth and the tenth. And we go on in this fashion and on and on and on. And we sometimes have to boost it if we’re not doing Change of Space auditing-if a fellow isn’t exteriorized-if you’re not exteriorized, you don’t do Change of Space auditing. We could run it out “Why, give me three auditors that are not auditing you at the moment.”
And you saw a demonstration of this here, one day, by me. “Give me three auditors who aren’t auditing you right now.” “Give me three preclears that you are not auditing right now.” “Let’s get another auditor and get three preclears he’s not auditing right now.” And we just beat it back and forth with Straightwire and it took, in that instance, I suppose it took about fifteen minutes to show up the auditor who was stopping the case. Do you see?
There was an unreality there-an invalidation or something of the sort. We don’t care what, but all of a sudden the auditor showed up and the preclear felt better, started to work again.
All right. This isn’t saying it’s bad to have had a lot of auditors or something of the sort. An auditor’s breaks can be very easily remedied today. The point we have to make is, for God’s sakes, remedy them!
I ran into one preclear in the Second Unit, she’d gone along two weeks, made absolutely no progress whatsoever, was falling all over herself, stumbling, walking in a hole and getting ready to jump. And I finally asked her one day, I said, “What’s the matter with your case?”
And she said, “Well, I don’t know. I... it just hasn’t worked well for quite a while.”
“How long?” I said.
“Well, for quite a while.”
“How long hasn’t it worked well?”
“Well, quite a while. It hasn’t worked well for several months” and so forth.
“Well, what happened to you before it started to work badly?”
“Well, uh ...”
Whooh! This is a new thought to her: something might have happened to her in auditing-you know, what fog? And by the way, she’d been audited by auditors for a couple of weeks and nobody had ever asked her anything like this. Nobody ever thought it was strange for a preclear not to get a change in an hour’s auditing. You guys still haven’t changed your sights on that. You still think that it takes about two months or two weeks or eighteen hours a day for a year or something. This is not true. All right. It’s just asking the right question, using the right technique at the right time and your case will roll. All right.
She said, “Well, now let me see. Let me see.”
“Well,” I said, “do you exteriorize at all?”
And she said, “Yes.”
I said, “Well, drop over at the office.”
And she dropped over at the office and I said, “All right. Let’s hit the first toom in which you were audited.”
“Okay.”
You know, “Be three feet back of your head and be in the first room where you were audited. Now be in the second room where you were audited. Now the third and the fourth. All right. Now be in the first room again and the second and the third. And now be in the first room and the second and the third and be here. First room, second and third and here. First room, second, third ...”
She said, “Gee whiz, there’s five, six, seven and eight here.”
So, I said, “All right. Now be in those rooms, consecutively, and then be here.”
And-" Wait a minute, I haven’t got the right first room. It’s another room that’s number one. I was audited once before that... no, twice ... I was audited before ... uh ... uh ... gee! I was audited about, oh, I don’t know, a lot of times before that, back in Dianetics, and I’d forgotten all about that.”
“Well, be in the first one of those rooms. Okay. Be in the next one, the next one, the next one, the next one, the next one, the next one, be here. Be in the first one of those rooms again.
“It’s a new first one.”
“All right. The next and the next and the next-room, room, room, room, room and here.”
And all of a sudden she says, “Wait a minute.” She says, “About two and a half months ago, somebody was trying to use negative exteriorization on me. ‘Try not to be three feet back of your head.’”
And she said, “I’d had a very bad night and a hangover the next morning and I’d just forgotten this incident entirely.”
And she says, “You know, I kind of have the feeling like I’ve been trying not to be three feet back of my head ever since. Because I got awfully mixed up on it, it was very easy for me to be three feet back of my head. But when the auditor would tell me to be ... try not to be three feet back of my head, why, of course, I wouldn’t be three feet back of my head. And this got the auditor very upset because I should have been three feet back of my head when I was trying not to be and it got me very upset.”
And before we went on with a long dissertation of this, I said, “Be in the first room where you were audited, the second room you were audited, the third room, the fourth room” and all of a sudden, an attempted rape showed up. This had been forgotten, utterly.
So we chased her around through the various rooms and chased her around again and again and again. To hell with the significance, let’s get those areas of the MEST universe cleaned up and into present time. That’s all we’re trying to do. If you used that, if you could get a person just vaguely out of his head and started to do Change of Space auditing, first on light things and then on heavier things, you’d eventually clean up all the areas of the MEST universe. It’s one of these-like many of these processes, an “all” process.
If you could just sneak them out and they were still saying “What wall?” you could still chase them around to these various places in the MEST universe where they’d had difficulty.
Everywhere is out of present time but where the preclear is. Well, you get everything into present time including where the preclear is and, of course, you’ve got an Operating Thetan. I mean, it’s as good a definition as any. And it’s a good mechanical definition, it’s usable.
All right. We went round and round with this character and I audited her on this, I will say, for about an hour and a quarter. But the last half hour I spent exclusively on being various spaces. “Be a space back of your body, be the space of your body, be the space of the room” and so on. And the last part of the session I kicked out an automatic machine that was turning things gray. Kicked that out and perception turned on very full and the case was rolling on down the line like a freight train.
Well, what was so confoundedly clever that I did, huh? I want to ask that question. What was so strange and new and peculiar and clever?
You could say, “Well, the preclear had confidence in me.” This is true. Not because I’m me, but because when I audit, I am confident. You get that little difference? All right.
And what was so peculiar about this session? Well, perhaps it was just this: Perhaps I looked at the case and recognized that the case should be advancing and wasn’t. Now, perhaps that was the difference between the auditing I was giving this preclear and the auditing the preclear was being given by her classmates. That’s probably the main thing. Because I knew the case ought to advance and it wasn’t advancing. So therefore there was something holding the case up that was significant and peculiar. I also knew this case had been in Dianetics and Scientology for a couple, three years.
Well, what have we got? Anytime we’re dealing with the business of living-and we’re dealing with the most potent factors in livingness-why, we of course can skid and slip with them, one way or the other, and louse up a preclear somewhat. But at the same time, you can straighten him out as fast.
Way back-way, way back, we could make blunders which couldn’t be remedied by auditing with ease, but that hasn’t been true for a year. It’s been definitely untrue for a year. Any blunder is remedied by auditing. All right.
Now, there’s another case: fellow creeping along with an eyelid flutter.
Well, I grabbed him by the nape of the neck one day and I says to him, I says, says I...
[to student] You’re wondering if you have an eyelid flutter. You don’t have an eyelid flutter.
An eyelid flutter-have you ever seen a butterfly batting its wings very agitatedly? You get that speed. Brrrrr. That’s the eyelid flutter. The fellow’s eyes are wide-open and then you ask him to close his eyes or something like that and instantly you get this flutter. Oh, you know, it’s unmistakable, it’s very peculiar-you don’t see it around very much.
Anyway, I noticed this fellow had an eyelid flutter and so I knew that what he was getting audited out of him by his auditors was tapes, that’s all. I mean, he was getting the day’s lecture audited out. Naturally, that was the only thing that would be available there.
Now, the shortcut on the case, of course, would have been-the easy way to handle a case is just say, “The world is now sitting in front of you, very massive and very dense and it is now moving in on you and it is now totally enclosing you. Now, another world is moving in on you and is totally enclosing you.” And he would have blasted out of it one way or the other. He just would have blasted out of my mock-ups, see. Hypnotized.
Well, how did we break this hypnotic spell? We broke it mainly just by exteriorizing him and duplicating. What do you know, real simple. “Be three feet back of your head” intended volition for him, you see. “Be three feet back of your head” left the door open for him to exhibit some volition. Well, with this flutter about to take off with his eyelids, you know, naturally, it betokened no volition.
I was right about this, by the way. The second I saw the fellow doing this, I knew that the tapes were being audited out of him every morning. So I asked his auditors how he was working and they had recognized this, that the tapes were being audited out - I didn’t shoot them, I let them live. After all, they’ll be MEST someday too-edible. [laughter]
Anyhow, the point I’m making here is that this person would have had to exhibit volition. So I told him, “You are three feet back of your head.” Of course he was.
“Your vision of the room is now perfect.” Of course it was.
“Now be at the place where you entered the MEST universe. You are there. You are now here, you are now there, you are now here, you are now there, you are now here, you are now there.”
All of a sudden, the guy starts shaking his head and feeling groggy and so forth and I... “What’s the matter?”
“I don’t know, something’s happened here. Something is happening.”
“All right. Be at the place where you entered the MEST universe. You’re there. Now be here, you’re here. Now be at the place where you entered the MEST universe. Be here.” Bing, bang, bing, bang, bing, bang, bing, bang-no eyelid flutter.
This was about eight minutes of auditing. He was out of an hypnotic trance and after that his sessions counted. Why didn’t they count before? Well, none of his auditors would have recognized what a hypnotized person would do if you told them to. Of course, they would account the fact if you said to a person who was hypnotized, “Be three feet back of your head” or “ You are three feet back of your head,” they would have thought of this as-he would have an illusion or a delusion that he was, that it wouldn’t really be true.
Well, how do you suppose you get moved around from planet to planet and life span to life span? Somebody baps you with a ray or something of the sort and says, “You are now Queen Nefertiti and you are now going to louse up King Nefertiti-ha-ha.” [laughter] That is the oldest trick in the universe. And some of these people you’re trying to exteriorize have been kicked out of their heads and into other lives.
One girl, by the way, who had the body of about an eight- or ten-year-old girl (a physiological arrestment if I ever saw it) and yet, who had the characteristics which bordered over toward the prostitute-a fascinating case, just because she looked so young and sweet and innocent and had such a record. And I took this girl and I was tracking back and researching at that time this business of being in other places and how did people get here and there and so on.
We picked up an incident on the E-Meter of her sitting on the curb and the most-as a little girl, she was about eight years old-and the most gorgeous officer came along, mounted on a beautiful horse and picked her up off the curb and put her across the pommel of his saddle and gave her some candy and took her down to the fortress. That’s all, bud.
They threw her in a cell which was an electronic-you know, radiation-type cell-and put a prostitute on the other bunk and then moved the girl into the prostitute to pick up the characteristics, to move her into the wife of a king who was giving them trouble politically, to disgrace the king, see. She was still running this crazy engram, round and round and round and round.
Well, a lot of auditing, we busted her out of that. She busted out of that. By the way, the process that was used on her to bust that out was Self Analysis, next-to-the-last list, and then Self Analysis in mock-ups. She was a black case but she could still get mock-ups by covering them with blackness first. And she broke right straight out of it and got a physiological progression-her body moved along.
Now, I never did establish whether it was her as a thetan that this had happened to or whether it had happened to some ancestor or engram or something of the GE. Never separated these things, didn’t bother to or didn’t try. The point is that we got her progressing physiologically, which is all we were trying to do.
Now, that sounds very far-fetched and sounds very strange and peculiar, but people do this very often in operations. They move somebody out of their body. Their chit-chat and chatter-chatter will actually boost somebody, who is very anaten, off the operating table-out of his body, you might say-and up into the corner of the room or clear back to the between-lives area. These people report back. And they report back-they’re very much out of order in reporting back and if they report back and find their body and return, that’s all right. But if they report back and find their body is now missing, the terrific faith they had in the between-lives area gang to keep their body and preserve it forevermore is shattered at that point. And the individual after that operation will be in a wonderful condition.
Now, under Dianetics you’d say, well, this is an engramic condition. What is the important part of the engram? Well, it was the part of the engram which told them to move out of their body and so forth. What kind of phrases might do this? “Get out and go back,” said to a nurse coming in the room or something of this sort, might re-register on the individual and exteriorize him and boot him out of his body. A lot of deaths on the operating table are caused by this, by the way. An individual is put into an anesthetic and then the chitter-chatter is such that the thetan is put into a high state of confusion and is booted out. And the body just lies there and doesn’t come awake.
There are bodies lying around, I dare say, in this very area, in hospitals, which have simply been disenfranchised in that fashion. They don’t got a thetan in them. They’re still working-you know, coma, we call this.
Now, these factors I’m telling you about are not new, strange or unreal. This happens to be a closer grip on reality than walking around saying, “We’re all bodies and we can’t be removed from anywhere,” because that leaves a tremendous amount of unexplained phenomena going on all the time. So if we take the general premise of existence-you know, this agreement of this society, this culture at this time: “There is no soul, everybody is a body. It’s all a machine and you’re going to die and be dead forever.” And if we take this as the general agreement, the scientific approach, we find out that we get just billions of unexplained phenomena. It doesn’t run out to one or two, it just fills the whole universe full of unexplained phenomena.
Now, let’s take this other pattern of a thetan and the body and so forth. We can handle that. We not only get further in handling it that way, but we get an awful lot of phenomena explained which was unexplained before. So which is the better system in terms of workability? Which is the better data in terms of workability? Well, the thetan, the body moving out of this body and into that body and so forth is better data.
Now, remember that your preclear maybe had been moved out of the body and have gotten into-and this is the other thing that could have happened in auditing, just get off that, he could have been moved out of his body and given a lot of strange or weird commands: told to find a lot of things, or something of this sort, and he got restimulated because he had some old operation back there. He’s been sent out to find things before-particularly his own body that he left in the safekeeping of somebody or other and now it’s gone.
I had one fellow, by the way, run the awfullest rage at the Statler Hotel system. He’d left a body in a Statler Hotel and they’d disposed of it. Recent, isn’t it? He was mad. He never knew quite why he was mad at hotels in general and we finally got it down to the Statler Hotel and we finally got it down to that.
This individual had been exteriorizing and interiorizing at will-he exteriorized very easily. And I’d caught him as a school boy. He was about a nine-year-old schoolboy and I exteriorized him. He was mad at the Statler Hotel system, at what happened to his last body. They evidently thought it was dead and took it and gave it an undertaking and buried it. That was the end of that. And he had exteriorized from it-carelessly.
An individual is in pretty bad shape, a thetan is in pretty bad shape, by the way, who permits this to happen to his body. And he must be very short on concentration. He’s in foul shape if he deserts a body utterly, you see, and doesn’t have any record of what’s going on. He can’t know what’s going on in the body, while he knows full well what’s going on where he is-shortage of attention units. All right.
Now, as we go over this, however, we’ll find such incidents cropping up this way: an auditor told a preclear to be three feet back of his head and then the auditor said, “All right, now are you there?”
And the fellow said, “Yes.”
And the auditor says, “Well, where are you exactly?”
And the preclear said, “Well, ummm ... uhh ... back of my head.”
“Well, where are you back of your head?”
“Well, some little distance back of my head.”
“Well, now just give me exactly where you are back of your head.”
And by this time the guy’s going-he’s looking around all this time trying to find himself. That’s one thing a thetan can’t see, is himself. Very hard to do. So asking him where he’s not is closer to truth. Ask him where he is makes him try to look at himself, which is, again, the old technique of “put your attention on yourself.” That’s one of the oldest gimmicks that anybody uses to silence somebody or nail him down, is make them put their attention on themself.
The fellow is talking along and he says, “I just don’t like girls.”
“Well, you don’t like girls, well that’s quite obvious. Have you ever thought of the fact that the girls probably don’t like you?” You know, put your attention on yourself.
Well, the auditor is doing that when he says, “Where are you?” All right.
And then the auditor said, “All right. Now go over and find out what books there are in the library. Now you call off the titles of the books up there on the library shelf.” Then the auditor hides a ring under a cushion and he says, “Now,” he says, “come and tell me what’s under this cushion.”
By that time the prcclear practically gives up - unstable, very uncertain, new experience, all strange to him. He feels a little bit strange and degraded anyhow-he’s just lost a mass that he was very fond of, he thinks. And now he can’t find things exactly and his vision isn’t on well and so he pops back into his head.
Now, you come along here another month or two later and you say, “All right. Now be three feet back of your head.” And he says, “I can’t move, I can’t budge.”
Well, now it isn’t up to you at that moment to take the hard road, let’s take the easy road. Let’s find out if he’s been out of his head before in this lifetime. “Have you been audited before? Has anybody moved you out of your head before?”
Asking him if anybody has ever asked him to be out of his head before, by the way, may turn on some type of an incident like an operation, not auditing. See? We’re liable to immediately get a tale of having been almost killed and going someplace and never dared tell anybody that he’d gone there and, sure, he was dead but he wasn’t dead and he’s been kind of dragging himself around ever since. The fellow would never tell anybody that, unless you ask him it directly. “Have you ever moved out before?” Well it’s an obvious thing to ask him.
Now, the other thing you’ll find is the individual has gone through an auditing session, then he’s gone home, he’s got to thinking about this. And all of a sudden he’s moved out of his head. Just to see if it could be done, he’s gone over and grabbed a hold of the drapes, he’s stuck on the drapes, he’s put a beam on the body, he couldn’t get the beam turned off, it scared him half to death, and flip! he went back into his body and he hasn’t been out since.
Well, he obviously can’t have MEST because MEST hangs on to him. The guy has an overdose of this consideration called gravity-gravity is a consideration-and he carries the concept of gravity along with himself as a thetan. So we find the individual having very strange ideas about what’s going to happen to him if he gets out and holds on to something. He’s going to stick there, that’s what’s going to happen to him. MEST grabs him, he doesn’t grab MEST.
Well, how do you handle this? Well, let’s run that session. We find out the biggest thing that happened to him was he didn’t know. This was a cinch: he didn’t know and he couldn’t let go-that’s the old-usually the real thing. He didn’t know. That’s the big stop.
All right. We repair masses of the room in which this happened. We give him havingness in terms of the room in which it happened. We repair his havingness, we repair his knowingness. We could even just run the incident. Lot of ways to do it. The easiest one, by the way though, is to repair the havingness. Just give him lots of masses of that room and lots of masses of that body and lots of masses of that bed, in an acceptable level. You know, he might find out that the wall was actually a very beautiful wall, but the only way it’s acceptable to him is that wallpaper is all torn off and hanging.
Ran a preclear not too long ago who found out his acceptance level of the childhood home was two rickety boards propped up, one against the other, to make a “V,” inverted “V,” that was his level of acceptance. Snapped in like mad after he did that.
Well anyway, our preclear, then, has had an experience, which is a bad experience, which is directly in parallel with what you’re trying to get him to do. And if he’s had a bad experience directly in parallel with what you’re trying to get him to do, he has, of course, made the postulate that it must never happen again. And he’s probably running already on postulates that say “things can only happen once” or “I must be original” or something of this sort. You’re not interested in what the postulate is. The thing to do is to find the area of the incident and remedy its havingness. That’s the fastest way to do it. That’s the quickest way.
I tell you, even these very, very Black V’s could get acceptable things that snap in on them if you make them jockey around long enough.
All right. So this is repairing a case, patching a case up.
All right. Let’s say for three weeks you’ve been auditing Bill and, at the first of this week or four weeks, you’ve been auditing somebody else and then Bill. And then the first of this week, you all of a sudden got a new preclear-you haven’t audited this preclear before. If you just took off and assumed that this case had just been running in a certain way and fashion and you never did anything about the former auditing, oh, well, you’re just going to set yourself up the nicest little failure you ever saw. It’s a lead-pipe cinch there have been auditing breaks. Not code breaks, auditing breaks-just lousy auditing.
You’ll find this is what normally he tells you. “Well, I kept getting this big, yellow light out in front of me and it looked like the old lamp and so on and the auditor said not to pay any attention to it and go on and do something else. But,” he said, “I couldn’t get anything else but the lamp,”
Well, now that you’re into avalanches and so forth you’re going to find out that somebody has abruptly and crudely stopped an avalanche and didn’t let it run or something like that and the guy is parked there with that avalanche. It’s only the parallel, you see, it’s only that you’re trying to do what’s already been done to the individual and been done poorly, see. It’s only the fact that you’re paralleling these two things that makes it strange and peculiar that you have to remedy auditing. It isn’t auditing is terribly aberrative, or bad auditing, it’s just the fact that you’re now going straight up against what, in the field you’re trying to do, are now heavy locks, you see? Just because of that. So you have to remedy this.
You can chase the preclear around, if you’ve got the preclear even vaguely exteriorized, chase him around to his own room, the place he eats, the lecture hall and the auditing rooms. But don’t omit his own room, because he might have done some self-auditing and he might have been audited there and don’t omit the fact that he may have been audited in somebody else’s room. And don’t omit the fact that he’s probably been audited all over the place before he came to the Unit.
This means, in terms of patch-up, that you want to start the case, when you really get down to brass tacks, in the most optimum shape possible. So let’s patch the case up and then start to audit it. And if you keep that in mind, you will get that there’s a slight difference. You’re going to patch the case up and then you’re going to start to audit it. You’ll find that some of the patch-up work won’t give you enormous gains that you can see. They’ll just put the preclear back to battery again, put the preclear in a state.
Now, there are some people here that say, as Step I’s, they have deteriorated in their certainty. Somebody must have sent them out to find things or there must have been some invalidative sequence or another which is peculiar to this.
Now, I’ll show you another way to patch up a Step I, in terms of certainty. We just go on the same pattern I was showing you this morning. I want you to do this, by the way, if you can. If you can’t do it, do it anyway, while interiorized, because this is a light one and an easy one.
Be about ten feet back of your head. You are ten feet back of your head.
Now duplicate the room.
Ten feet back of your head. You’re ten feet back of your head and duplicate the room.
Duplicate it again. Again. Duplicate it again. Duplicate the room again. Duplicate it again. And again. And again. And again.
Now throw those duplicates away. Do anything you want with them, it doesn’t matter.
All right. Duplicate the room. Now change this duplicate around.
Now duplicate what you’ve just gotten. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it.
Now do whatever you please with those duplicates.
All right. Now duplicate the building. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it arid duplicate it. Smash all the duplicates together.
All right. Throw them away.
Now duplicate the building.
Now change it. Change it again. Change it again. Change it again. Change it again.
Duplicate what you now have. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it. Smash the duplicates together. Do what you please with them.
All right. Now get a dog’s body that you have exteriorized from. Let’s just assume for a moment you’ve exteriorized from a dog’s body, not your body.
Now pat the dog on the head and say, “Poor dog, nice dog.”
And duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him. Smash them all together. Do what you please with them.
Now let’s get a horse body and say we’ve just exteriorized from this horse.
That’s what we are right now, a horse.
We’ve just exteriorized from this horse’s body and get the nice feeling of how nice it is to eat oats, get the horse there.
Now duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him and duplicate him.
Okay. Smash the duplicates together.
Do what you please with the mass.
Okay. Now be the space back of your body.
Space of your body. Space behind your body.
Space of your body. Space behind your body.
Space of your body. Space behind your body.
Space of your body. Space behind your body.
Space of your body.
Space of the room. Space of the body.
Space of the room. Space of the body.
Space of the room. Space of the body.
Space of the room. Space of the body.
Space of the room. Space of the body.
Get a body that is now acceptable to you. Be ten feet back of it. Duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it. And smash them all together.
Throw them away.
Okay. Duplicate your body. Duplicate it again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Smash them all together.
Okay. Give me three things you don't have to be certain of.
Give me three things that won’t make you unconscious.
Give me three places you’re not.
Give me three things you don’t want to be in the future.
Three things you don’t mind if you are in the future.
Three places you’re not.
Give me some things now that don’t make you unconscious instantly.
All right. Only those people who are exteriorized with fair or good certainty do this next one.
Be up over Phoenix.
Find a mass of rock.
Be in the center of the mass of rock.
Exteriorize from it.
Interiorize into it.
Exteriorize.
Interiorize.
Now make yourself move out of it.
Now have yourself move into it.
Now move in and out of it rapidly and with increasing rapidity.
In and Out of it.

Be over Phoenix, duplicate Phoenix. Duplicate it, duplicate it, duplicate it, duplicate it. And change it into Chicago.
Change it into Phoenix.
Make it be a different color.
Another color.
Duplicate it, duplicate it, throw it away.
Be ten feet back of your head.
Give me some places you’re not.
All right. Give me some things that you can have at this instant.
Things you’re very certain you can have.
And some more places you’re not.
Okay. Be where you please.
End of session.
Anybody’s perception, picked up now? Hm?
Audience: [various responses]
Sure. That doesn’t sound to me like very tough auditing. Does that sound like it’s tough to do?
Well now, anybody whose case is deteriorated just needs some more of that, if this little span here didn’t remedy it. It’s very easy to do.
What happened to you?
Female voice: I don'y know. I just passed out.
Oh, I’m talking about kicking people out of their bodies and hypnosis.
Female voice: Something hit me in the face and brought me back, but I don't know what happened or where I was or anything...
You don’t know where you went, huh?
Female voice: Complete amnesia, until something hit me in this direction.
Good.
Have something hit you in the face again and bring you to.
Female voice: [laughs]
Have something hit you in the face again and bring you to.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
Something hit you in the face and bring you to.
Have something drift away from you and you become unconscious.
Have something drift away and you become unconscious again.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
Something drift away and you become unconscious.
Feel better?
Something hit you in the face now and bring you to.
Now have something hit you in the face and bring you to again.
Something hit you in the face and bring you to.
Something else hit you in the face and bring you to.
Something else hit you in the face and bring you to.
Now have something slide away from you and become unconscious.
Have something do it again.
Female voice: I feel like I’m hypnotized.
Okay.
Female voice: I’m refusing ...
We’re talking about hypnosis.
Female voice:... to go fly away—and I was alive ...
All right.
Female voice:... and yet I’m conscious.
Put the chair into a sudden hypnotic condition that’ll surprise it.
Put the ceiling into the same state.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
The table in front of you into the same state.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
Put your left foot into the same state.
Female voice: Mm.
Your right foot into the same state.
Female voice: Yeah.
Wake your right foot up.
Female voice: [laughs]
Wake your left foot up.
Huh?
Female voice: I woke up my left foot.
Okay. Fine, fine, good.
Reverse the right side of your body and the left side.
Reverse them back again.
Reverse them back again.
Female voice: Okay.
All right. And have the bulletin board become unconscious.
Have it slapped in the face and brought to.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
All right. Hypnotize the front door.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
Slap it and bring it to.
Okay. Hypnotize your necktie and have it go unconscious.
Slap it and have it come to.
Female voice: Mm-hm.
Feeling better?
Female voice: Yeah.
Yeah.
Female voice: Yeah!
Yeah, all right.
Female voice: Thanks.
You bet.
Now, here’s the other thing we’re going to do now, and everybody can do this. Let’s get this-let’s everybody get this one.
I want you to repeat the earliest automaticity that you remember having occurred in auditing. And duplicate it.
The earliest automaticity which occurred in auditing that you can recall right now, and duplicate it. And duplicate it. And duplicate it. And duplicate it. And just continue to duplicate.
Now, all right. Now let’s pick up another automaticity which occurred in auditing, that you recall, pick it out, make it happen again. And duplicate it many times.
Okay. Now let’s pick up another automaticity which has now probably occurred to you, that occurred during auditing, and let’s repeat it and duplicate it many times.
Okay. Now let’s waste a machine that gives you things. Waste it for sure, a machine that gives you things.
Now somebody else waste a machine that gives them things.
Get two other people and have one of those waste the machine of the other, that gives the other things.
Now have somebody waste your machine that gives you things.
And you waste somebody else’s machine that gives them things.
All right. You have some kind of an idea of the machine now, duplicate it. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it. And pull all the masses together and put them on your head.
Okay. Let’s find the two hack corners of the room. And sit there and don’t think.
Okay. Make up your mind when you’re going to let go of them and let go. Let go of them again.
All right. Now let’s take the worst session you’ve had. Duplicate it. And duplicate it. And change it. And duplicate the change and duplicate it, duplicate it. Move it somewhere else. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it. And change it. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it. And throw it away.
Okay. Now, one little note on this-black machines. Some people around here still getting some blackness, probably. Just those people now, nobody else, just those people that have some blackness as their chief worry. I want you to turn things in the vicinity black, by keeping them from becoming black.
All right. Now let’s pick out some object and keep it from becoming black.
Another object, ditto.
Make it turn black by keeping it from becoming black now, please. Another object, ditto. Another object, ditto. Another object, ditto. Another object, ditto. Another one. Another one. Another one.
You doing that?
Make them turn black by keeping them from becoming black. All right.
All right, just say, “Don’t get black now” and kind of strain at it and keep it from becoming black and then turn it black.
You’ll probably have to do both actions now. Say, “Don’t get black” and then make it get black.
And now start picking up objects and saying, “Get black” and make them turn black.
A lot of them.
Okay. Now, get an object-be yourself and get an object, which is not black, and have it remain as it is.
Try that again. And again. And again. Okay.
Now anybody who has a predominance of soft facsimiles, soft ridges-buttery, massy stuff-whose facsimiles aren’t hard and sharp, anybody whose facsimiles aren’t hard and sharp. Close your eyes, pick out a mass in the area and make it get buttery-you know, soft.
Pick out another hard mass in the area and make it get soft.
And another one. And another one-just continue to do that.
More of them, have them get soft.
More of them, have them get soft.
Now pick out one and don’t make it soft.
Be yourself, pick out one, don’t make it soft. If that one did, get another one.
Okay. That working?
Did you make some get soft?
Audience: Mm-hm.
Okay. Now, put something up against the wall over there and make it go splat and form a hard plate. You know, some kind of a liquid or something, make it go splat on the wall, black liquid or something, and make it form a hard plate.
Another one. Another one. Another one.
Now put up your own wall and put a liquid against it, splat, and make the hardness of the wall you’ve put up, make it go into a hard plate. Do that.
Now get the idea of your own body going utterly soft, whole body going soft.
Now make it get hard.
Now make it get soft. And hard. And soft. And hard.
Okay. Now anybody who can, now, if not before, let’s be a distance back of the body, a distance back of the body-any distance. And duplicate the room. And duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it.
Push all the duplicates together.
Make it into a hard mass.
Push it in on yourself.
Be where you please.
Find your feet beneath the floor.
Anybody’s perception picked up here?
Anybody’s certainty of exteriorization picked up a little bit? Hm?
Anybody’s certainty of exteriorization picked up here?
Okay. If you asked the preclear that and he said, “Well, no” and his uncertainty of exteriorization is his prime worry, you could run a little Straightwire. “Give me some things that you’re sure you’re not in.” And it straightens up a lot of certainty on this.
Okay. Well, so much for that. That, in essence, is case patch-up.
Female voice: Now, when I was first in the-taking a course in England and it had a good standard. And I-the first day, I could get out and see things a bit more and had visio and color. Then we changed Instructors. And this Instructor used to, if you got out, and if he didn't know whether you got out or not, but you're in session and he thought you were dopey, he'd come along and kick you. I'm in deep anger now, I'm in a rage about this.
Well you found out what’s wrong.
Female voice: Sure. I've had enough-what he's been doing to everybody else?
That’s right. Remember I told you the first session here, I gave you here, one of the first things I told you in this Unit is stirring them up out of boil-offs and that sort of thing abruptly and so on, is an abrupt change of survival pace.
Female voice: I used to be so well exteriorized, but I mean, I was scared in the end. To get away and leave my body because I knew someone always kicked mine, [laughter]
There’s another test you should run on somebody who’s exteriorized, is get him used to having the body. This is another drill. It’s not that kind of a drill, you don’t catch him in boil-off and do that. But you get somebody who is exteriorized and then you administer a gradient scale of sensation or pain to the body, which is up to tolerance for them, so that it doesn’t snap them back in. You could actually get them up to a point where you could cut their head off and they wouldn’t snap back in. [laughter] That’s known as the pain test.
Okay.
