Now this is the third hour of December the fifth, afternoon. We have been covering aspects of interrelated cycles of action and we have found that by postulating or by acquiring or by assuming a new type of cycle called the tone scale that we can bring into relationship human experience, experience of a thetan and the conditions of space, time and energy so that by working one we can attain another.

December 5th – December 5th, first hour afternoon.

We have set up an arbitrary crossroad by saying there is a tone scale. Now by the Introduction of that we put up a crossroads. And that must be a pretty good crossroads because since 1950 it has been producing very good results; it is something that is accumulating data and simplifying data.

We’re going to – now that you know all about gradient scales – take up that very interesting subject known as a Cycle of Action.

As the slide rule is to the engineer which is an arbitrary after all – it’s a logarithmic scale – so might be said the tone scale is to an auditor. It solves problems for him. And the better he knows how to use it, the better an auditor he is. This tells him that in creative processing the mock-ups which he addresses to the preclear can go higher and higher and higher in level with great variety.

You had to know something about space and anchor points and points of origin and so forth before we could take up cycles of action. Now that is a uh… precaution on my part which has not been observed in the past in the field of physics. They just assumed there was an in before they decided what was in it.

If he did not give that variety he would not maintain the interest of the preclear; furthermore, if he doesn’t have an existing coincidence or association between human experience and thetan’s experience and space, energy and time he would not be able to remedy aberration really in terms of the MEST universe. Here we find somebody in the MEST universe and we want to know how we can either one, improve his status in the MEST universe, two, make him into a thetan and improve the status of the thetan in the MEST universe, or three, make it possible for him to create uh… items and objects and so forth in the MEST universe, or four, make a universe of his own, or five, handle and control universes, or six, skip it.

And uh… the cycle of action, therefore, did not come up into the prominence that it should and is, as a matter of fact, one of the first uses of it and it has not been used enough to bother with, except by statisticians that wish to prove something that they were trying to hide, uh… since the Vedic peoples’ statement concerning this very interesting datum – that things started with creation, continued through growth, went through a period of decay and then died away. And they assigned this to the universe.

Now he has all those various choices and uh… essentially we are studying choice and intention. Now you want to know what lies above 40; one of the things which lies above it would be intention. Now if the intention is to have objects; well, one would go through uh… whatever he had to go through to make the object. Or he’d just postulate there was an object there and have an object; or if one wanted action, his intention was action, he could have action. If his intention is just to have lots of space, he could have lots of space.

Now that was a very wise sort of a statement and very possibly a piece of information about which they might have known a great deal more once. As it is now, it is a piece of information which is submerged into the Vedic Hymns.

Or if his intention was to continue along a subject known as progress, he could follow the cycle of action through from space to having an object. In other words, his intention in each case continually one after the other could be a selective thing.

Now, let’s take a look then at the microcosm called „Man“, and uh… let’s take a look at him as uh… a cycle of action.

Now there’s great lucidity in this. There’s great fluidity. He has set himself up to agree to the arrival into the possession of an object by the adoption of a cycle of action. And he has even gone so far as to think he has to have an object to have a memory. He has… manufactures in homo sapiens facsimiles, engrams, secondaries, locks, data, facsimiles, pictures, books, all that sort of thing, words, all these things. Now in order to… to – he’s gone into this scale.

He starts in with conception – starts in here with conception, goes through into birth, goes through into childhood, goes through into man and then here’s an old man, and then dead. That is what he believes his cycle of action is.

Now it’s gotten into a gradient scale and a new scale here, quite Important – the scale of automaticity. I’ll have to cover that scale. And he’s gotten everything to a point where it’s all automatic. So it’s all got to be made for him, so it’s all got to be pre-existing objects before himself. He exists before any object exists, but he’s got it so twisted by this time that the object exists before he exists.

And uh… sure enough, for one body, that is for one term of havingness, if you measure havingness in terms of the body – let’s not worry about time, let’s just say a term of havingness – he continues through this cycle and was for a long, long time content to believe that he ceased to exist when the end of the cycle was reached. That’s peculiar to this cycle of action – is the relative content with which it has been accepted. Anything which is quietly accepted, such as a bullet in the brain, being disemboweled, dying of pneumonia, being buried in mud, being trapped – you know, there must be some… quite some pressure in there to insist that this has… has uh… agreement. There must be very heavy agreement on this. Otherwise, otherwise nobody would ever stand for it.

And uh… he boy, he’s… he’s starting low and diving full throttle.

All right, now let’s take… let’s take what is known as a spiral. And this is one why… now this is a spiral. And we’ll start in this spiral here at Creation. This is a spiral for Mao. We start in here at Creation, Conserve, End.

And this then is a number of choices. So intention exists above 40.0. Other things can exist above 40.0 too, but intention exists.

Now there are several other points on that gradient scale, but a spiral is simply this: A spiral is a term of lives, or a term of existences or a single existence which bear an intimate relation, one to the other. You, for instance, will go back in a preclear’s past and you will find out that you have an overall spiral of him being in a body. He picked up a body some time or another, he was in and out of bodies for a while. And then all of a sudden we get a long spiral that uh… it’s just life after life after life after life after life after life. And he goes downhill in the end and he is no longer… he is no longer on the spiral of bodies. Now that’s… that’s a bigger spiral.

Now he could simply say I have action. A magician, uh… the magic cults of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th centuries in the Middle East were fascinating. The only modern work that has anything to do with them is a trifle wild in spots, but it’s fascinating work in itself, and that’s work written by Allister Crowley, the late Allister Crowley, my very good friend. And uh… he… he did himself a splendid uh… piece of aesthetics built around those magic cults. Uh… it’s very interesting reading to get ahold of a copy of a book, quite rare, but it can be obtained, THE MASTER THERION, T-h-e-r-i-o-n, THE MASTER THERION by Allister Crowley. He signs himself The Beast, the mark of the beast six sixty-six. Very, very something or other, but anyway the… Crowley exhumed a lot of the data from these old magic cults.

The universe could be said to be, although this term YEAR is very deceptive, it could be said to be about 74 to 76 trillion years. That is to say, homo sapiens is found here on the planet Earth in the solar system at this end of this galaxy, uh… found to be about 74, 76 trillion years. Now exactly what they’re computing as a year, I do not know. But you simply say „year“ and you get an immediate response on the E-Meter.

And uh… he… he, as a matter of fact, handles cause and effect quite a bit. Cause and effect is… is handled according to a ritual. And it’s interesting that whenever you have any of these things you can always assign a ritual to it and that ritual is what you do in order to accomplish this. Or how you have to go through and how many motions you have to make to come into the ownership of that. And that’s a ritual.

Now it could mean that they are talking about a galactic year uh… as plotted arbitrarily, they’re talking about some planetary swing, uh… something of the sort. But it’s so many swings and this all boils down to so many units of havingness. A year, you see, is a unit of havingness. That’s why it gets to be a unit of time.

Or how many motions or words you have to say in order to be something else. Now that’s a ritual. And that is a… each ritual is a cycle of some sort or another. Now you can have cycles that start low and end high, but because homo sapiens has agreed to a cycle that starts with space and ends with matter, when homo sapiens starts into a cycle of action he finds himself up with his hands full of gold and with shackles on every limb.

Now that spiral at first was 100 million years old, at least. A fellow entered the MEST universe and he went 100 million years until he finally conceived he was dead. And then he conceived that he was resurrected again by some necromancy and he thought himself a new being, an entirely new being, and he went on this time for maybe 50 or 60 million years – his next spiral. That’s a spiral. And then he felt himself „dead“ and he was resurrected again and he went on for maybe 25 million years – getting shorter each time. And the current spiral for most people here is 34 thousand years. You’ll find some preclears who are about three thousand years on their current spiral, and you will very rarely find one who is any longer than that. When you do, you find somebody who isn’t tracking with the… with the culture.

Now he continually knows completely that all he has to do is start low and go high. He… he knows that. Uh… he said, „Well, now all we have to do is go up this gradient scale – ta-da-da-da-pa-ba.“ And he hasn’t had a route that led through anything to reverse this cycle because he had agreed so heavily to having the cycle of action which is this MEST universe itself, he can’t bring himself to completely reverse this without backtracking the agreement cycle merely because he’s ethical and his word is good.

There we have, then, spirals. And those spirals come down on the order of 100… well, 100 million, and then maybe 50 million, and then maybe… and so on, until they’re down here right now to this microscopic spiral point which is uh… this current spiral. And Man is part of that microscopic point in one lifetime.

However bad he may seem to you at this level on the tone scale, he isn’t bailed out of it for one reason and that is his word is good.

Now let’s just measure in terms of havingness. A year is a term of havingness. A year here on Earth: we have Spring – creation, growth, Summer – continuance of growth, Fall – decay and conservation, Winter is death. And then from Winter, again emerges the year once more.

Now when he backtracks this cycle of action he just has to back it up and you’ve got to start low and arrive high, and in Scientology we have as far as I know in this universe a… as far as I know the first time we have a cycle of action which starts low and goes high and gets there. And doesn’t start with the low we have and then denies its existence and just tries to wipe that out and sails off someplace else.

This is the spiral of havingness and a cycle. And unless you have the factor of havingness, designed as a spiral, you cannot get, really, anybody to agree to the unit of time. Take a month: a month is having a full moon. The moon is not there, then the moon is suddenly created, and then the moon swings around and gets larger and larger and then it declines and gets smaller and smaller, and then it isn’t there any more and uh… that has passed by.

There’s something like a cul-de-sac, a blind alley, a box canyon; you come galloping into the MEST universe full of vim and vigor and all of a sudden crash – here you are at the bottom of the tone scale, the cycle of action.

A day starts with dawn as its creation, and swings on through to the pre-dawn death. If you don’t think that just before dawn it’s death, the whole world feels like death at that time. Very few of you, probably, have ever had too much to do with wide spaces just before dawn, but the confoundedly most darkest hours are in that period.

Now we have a cycle of action which goes backwards. It starts with stop, which is homo sapiens, and ends with intention, which is your thetan bailed out all the way. Good workable cycle of action. What you’re studying, if the truth be known, is a cycle of action which can apply because it is very carefully based upon the reversal of the cycle of action which made the MEST universe.

As an odd coincidence, in a day, most people die at 2 o’clock in the morning. There’s an enormous majority of deaths at 2 o’clock in the morning. It goes right around that. They feel that if they can just live through the next… if they can get through the next two or three hours they’ll go right through another day.

And in order to make this new cycle of action the cycle of action originally agreed to broadly and generally had to be completely understood. Now that we’ve got that cycle of action we can turn it backwards. But it isn’t backwards; it’s forwards and upwards, because our sole motive here isn’t simply the reversal of a cycle of action. We’re trying to establish a cycle of action in this universe which will work for individuals. And it works; Scientology 8-8008 is a design of a new cycle of action.

So here we have these spirals of havingness. They seem to want to go into divisions of four, for some reason or other – although I’ve written three here each time.

That’s a design right there. It tells what the cycle of action goes to: an unapplied infinity, a potential, and it tells how you get there and it says you go up tone scale, and you see MEST universe is infinity at the bottom of the tone scale. It’s all a motion, it’s all a matter. It’s all somebody else’s and none of your own. You see, actually motion becomes an all-motion becomes a no-motion and that’s matter, so you’ve got… you start there at the infinity which is the MEST universe, and the MEST universe is never more real than from four down.

Now we have four periods for the moon, we have four periods for the year, and uh… there are possibly four periods for an outer spiral. But it would be quantity of havingness would measure the span. And that quantity of havingness is determined on this spiral, and we find this spiral excessively native to the MEST universe. You can use this spiral in any universe, and it is used to a large degree, but I want you to view it as a specialized thing, not as an inevitable thing. This spiral of action, then uh… pardon me, this spiral of growth and decay is also many other kinds of spiral.

And you go back up the line of that and you’re going upscale all the time, and you’re getting upscale there and the MEST universe ceases to be, completely, at 40.0. Just isn’t. For the preclear, you say you’re bringing him up tone scale. You’re bringing him up to the point where the MEST universe is going to be zero.

All right, when we reach out for the whole universe, we find out that the MEST universe itself is doing a spiral which began with its creation and is going through to its death. And that’s the big spiral for this universe. But it is certainly going on through to its death.

He… you could stop him or he can stop himself at about 20.0 and he’s got a choice. He can be… he can contact the MEST universe, he can have the MEST universe, or on the other hand, over here, he can have a universe of his own or be part and parcel of another universe, or all those choices which I gave you the first part of this hour.

Now there’s the spiral of action of a game – any game has this spiral of action uh… if it’s plotted out on rules even vaguely similar to the MEST universe. That doesn’t mean that every game has to have this as a spiral – I scan, this as a cycle.

Now, uh… we’ve got that cycle of action. Now it tells him quite additionally that his additional cycle of action depends upon these cycles of action, and that he has a pattern for the construction of his own universe, which he can do with pretty much as he likes, but it doesn’t define what the infinity of his own universe would be and it doesn’t say that it has to be an all-motion thing at all.

Uh… here we have, then, the whole universe going from creation to death, and we have the macrocosm. And up here we have Man under the microscope. So that’s the big and the large in terms of this spiral.

But it tells him that he can raise his own universe from zero and take it through to infinity. So we’ve got this cycle of action. Now that’s a cycle of action which would graph like this.

Now if this thing can be found as such an interesting common denominator, then it must have some intimacy with the whole field of experience. In this universe, then, there must be an intimacy between this and the whole field of experience. And let’s make it our business now – we’re in the business right now of building, and uh… conserving and destroying universes and it’s… it’s a fairly big contracting business, and we should know a little bit about what we’re contracting to do.

So of course infinity would be all possible cycles of action, and when you say infinity of his own universe, he could make it any cycle of action, so the first infinity means all possible cycles of action or any other type of pattern or any other type of ridge, or any other type of intention which he cares to engage in.

Uh… people who take contracts to the US Government in wartime don’t have that laborious requisite laid upon them that they have to know what they’re doing before they can do it. But we… we should.

Now we find the MEST universe is most real down here at uh… 0.0. Boy, there’s… you’re really real when you’re dead. And uh… that goes on up the line up here – that would be infinity. And that goes on up the line up here to 20.0 which would be halfway between infinity and zero. Up here and it’d go on out and at 40.0 you would have for the MEST universe, that’s zero phi, infinity phi, you would have 40.0 up here at the top. That’s out. You understand that – I mean, that’s… that’s out of the universe.

So, let’s take a look here and find that uh… what space is. Now, oddly enough, a piece of space… a nice piece of space is a postulated particle. Now you have to have a particle before you can have space. And before you can have an actual particle, you have to… before you can have space you have to have a particle, and before you have a particle you have to have space. So it’s a coincident manufacture. They are very intimate. They’re not two different things.

Now that goes from here then for zero of his own universe; we just have to reverse this thing, and let’s say his own universe has a tone scale on an entirely different principle. You have a tone scale on this principle which takes us from a 40. uh… 0 of his own universe to a zero of his own universe or a zero of his own universe. And I don’t care which way you put it.

Two particles, that far apart, become two anchor points. You say, „Well, there’s a point over there and a point over there.“ Now you could be mathematical about it and you could simply say, „Well, that point has neither length, breadth nor depth.“ That’s your right to say so. And you’ll find it’s difficult to hold it in one place. But uh… that’s your right to say that, and so… so it is.

So, we’ve got this… this thing lying from a zero or nothing but space or something for his own universe (he makes it out of space) down to there. And this, of course, for his own universe, could be called infinity. And for his own universe up here could be called a zero.

And then your next step could be a particle. Or you could simply just be more confronting about it and you could say, „Now here’s a particle, now it has mass,“ and you’ve got your creation of space. Your particle has mass. Now your particle could be something without mass. The… the particle… it’s not necessary for a particle to have mass. It’s… it could be just a piece of space, a microscopic piece of space which you then… then give mass to.

Well, it doesn’t matter how… how I draw this. If you have any curiosity about that second graph, it’s because you’re trying to relate it to the first tone scale graph. And he could… he could design a tone scale for his own universe which would be a beauty. Uh… it could do anything, torsional space or quadrupeds, or anything you want, but he doesn’t have it now, that’s a cinch, he doesn’t have it now, so perhaps it’s best to draw this thing this way. So it should go… and this would be „0“ because certainly at 40.0, at 30… 40.0 he can start toward the infinity of his own universe, can’t he?

It… it’s merely postulates you’re dealing with here. I… I can see on some of your faces you have this creepy notion that this thing is going to slide in sideways on you somehow or other and turn into a very difficult feat in physics. But honest, HONEST, it… it… it’s just… it’s just too simple, actually, to be… to be readily grasped. You have a particle and you put that particle there, and you have a particle and you put that particle there.

And uh… at uh… zero here, zero point zero on this tone scale he doesn’t have one, does he, because at zero a man’s hopes, dreams, illusions and all those things which he graces the MEST universe with are dead, they don’t exist. Death comes about only when one is no longer able to place any of his own force, dream, hope, intention, upon the MEST universe.

Well, where do you get these „theres“ from? Well, that’s very simple. You just say, „They’re there.“ You have to take a viewpoint of dimension and you have a viewpoint. Now you have to say you have a viewpoint before you have a viewpoint, and in order to have a viewpoint you have to have something to view. So that’s coincident, too, isn’t it?

If you want to kill a man, the most effective way of killing a man may be with a shotgun, but that shotgun is telling him in a terribly brief instant that he has met something in the MEST universe which he cannot overcome in terms of force. And if he’s met that, he is dead. Very simple.

So you get the… the viewpoint, the coincidence of view, uh… the anchor points and the particle actually simultaneously. That should tell you something very interesting. This is all going on here at once. I mean, they can’t divide these things so that you have… „Well, now we have space.“ Oh yeah? Yeah?? The heck you do. If you’re going to say „space“ you’re going to have to say „anchor point to anchor point“, not just arbitrarily. The second you sweep your hand this way or something of that sort, or motion out that way, you’ve got an indicator, and you’re indicating a point or a line in which you are now going to view an emptiness, and which emptiness you may or may not adventure to fill. But we’ve got the… all of these things.

Or you simply start in on him and start working on him when he’s very small and you say, „You shouldn’t imagine such things, you shouldn’t do such things, da-da-da-da da-da-da-da da-da-da-da, you gotta work, you gotta work hard, now that you’re married you gotta work hard, and you’ve got to do this, you got to do that, and we expect certain things of you, we… and so on, and you got to go through this and you got to go through that; you can’t do this and you can’t do that, you can’t do this and you can’t do that.“ So that it gets up to the point of restriction.

Now what about the intention? You actually can’t state this intention without it happening. Of course, you could state it in such a way that it wouldn’t happen. But uh… if you stated the intention, uh… you say, „Well, now I’m going to put a piece of space out to here,“ you’ve already lined the thing up, and you can’t have instantaneousness.

Had this mathematician one time, I told him about this, and he right away figured out something that was called an abstrict, and he found out that every time anybody spoke to him they were trying to lay a restriction upon him, of one sort or another. It had to do with a restriction.

Where… we can’t get off zero of the stopwatch with this. Uh… every time we add one of these things to another one of these things, we find they’re being done at the same moment. That gives people the creepy idea of the simultaneousness of time. And time, sure enough, is terribly simultaneous because it doesn’t exist. Time is something they invented. The great god Moloch, you know. Uh… he really didn’t exist. But uh… somebody had to invent him in order to keep the… keep the slaves in line.

And so he suddenly realized this and with this clear, brilliant recognition suddenly went up the pole, got up there to eight hundred thousand feet with no parachute and was quite somebody for quite a little while. He was a problem. He uh… grabbed ahold of a girl who was married because he loved her and he convinced her that this was the case. And she said, „By golly, that is the case,“ and picked her up by the nape of the neck and went to another state and they’ve lived happily ever after, and they married. You just don’t do that in this universe, you know.

And Time… they have to invent him. He has an altar and uh… a beingness and is sacrificed to in every factory in the land. That is a time clock which is a nice little altar, and they come in and they feed him pieces of… little bits of paper, and he goes „chomp-whirr!“ and that’s… that’s the Oracle. And every time he says „Chomp-whirr!“ he is saying, „Bless you, my child. You will be paid.“

You don’t take this girl and she’s married and she’s all pinned down and she’s got an identity and so forth, and you don’t suddenly say, „Now look, do you know that everything here that everybody’s saying to you is really an attempt to restrict you in some way or another? Now look, we can have a pretty good… pretty good time of it here and why don’t you just come down to the train and pick up the kid and we’ll leave.“ He’s known her for maybe 24 hours.

They’d actually get much further if they would simply put a pot-bellied god up there on the wall and give it a good-looking face instead of a silly circular face with Arabic numerals on it, because a god with Arabic numerals all over his face is kind of dull.

And uh… they do; they’ve been very happy. You see, you’d expect this, you’d expect this; the MEST universe would tell you anything that starts like that will wind in disaster. Uh-uh. Anything which starts the other way is what winds up in disaster.

Uh… now they tell everybody that this is an… is an object known as Time and it is a great mystery. And it is a mystery which you mustn’t crack because if you crack this mystery too solidly, you’re going to crack everything else too, and there’s a lot of people got a lot of vested interests around here. They can’t manufacture energy themselves, they couldn’t build a universe themselves, three or four people couldn’t get together and slap one up that uh… looked pretty good, so they say, „We’ve got to keep this one – we’ve got to keep this one.“

You know, you… you meet somebody and then you know them for a long period of years, maybe three years, you have an engagement. And then he works very hard at a job in order to save up enough money to put the down payment down on a house and uh… then they finally get married. And with everybody’s consent and everybody’s approval, and then they have some children with everybody’s consent and everybody’s approval, and then they… they… they work harder and harder and they send the kids to college. And when the kids get through college, they say to hell with the old folks. And uh… so on, and they finally wind up footsore and weary but with this righteous feeling of, „Well, we did our best, and we have helped them all out and now we two can pass away.“

Those people are on the center of this action cycle.

That’s practically what MEST says all around sort of thing: We helped you out, we went to the end of the trail. You say, „I got that sad, sad remorseful feeling.“ Of course, there isn’t a piece of MEST in the MEST universe that hasn’t been abandoned so often it’s got that written all over it.

All right. Now what do we have here as an interrelationship of cycles? Let’s just take a look at this very broadly and let’s say we – just… just for fun – that we have to have space before we have action. Now that’s actually not a… not a good way to look at it at all. But uh… we say we have to have space: Space is a requisite to action. Actually, as you have action, you have space; as you have space you have action. As you have space and action, you have havingness. And then… and it’s just all right there in what… simultaneous time, and it’s very easy to have simultaneous time because, as I said, that is a myth and a mystery.

So, we’ve got here then Scientology 8-8008 in the form of an action cycle, which gives us a process. And it said, „This is a track and if you go on this track, now these are your potentialities. And if you like the other track and if you think this MEST universe is a wonderful place that you want to agree and agree and agree and agree and agree, brother, it’s yours.“

But this other is not a myth and a mystery. You can experience this. So God bless anything you can experience and to hell with everything you have to take on somebody’s word.

They give… if you just like this universe, that’s up to you. That’s thoroughly up to you. In view of the fact that there you are at… at uh… 2.5 or 3.0 on the tone scale and there you are at 3.0 on the tone scale and you are perfectly agreeable, you think everything that’s happening is all for the best. And you’re perfectly happy, and it’s all working out the way it should work out and if you can find a fellow who is like that and who doesn’t want to take this road, I’ll give you a lot of MEST as a reward, because I have not been able to find him. But he exists as a myth and an illusion.

So here we go on a first action cycle. We have here uh… space postulated, you know what space is. This is the same space we were talking about yesterday. And that comes through here to particles. And this comes through here to action, and this comes through action to solidity, and here you have matter.

Now a magician – getting back to cause and effect and Allister’s work – a magician postulates what his goal will be before he starts to accomplish what he is doing. The old magician was the great-great-great-grandfather of your modern stage magician. Your stage magician doesn’t even know the old magician even existed.

Matter is a condensation of space. How much will space condense? It’ll condense, of course, back to zero, because you’re not condensing space. It’s just… you’re just narrowing dimensional viewpoints on something and postulating more particles in it, that’s all. It’s a… you say, „Well, it’s a…“ and so on.

And the stage magician gets up there and he waves this around and he has a hat and he has a wand and he has his bric-a-brac of various sorts, and he doesn’t really know where it came from. This is a great joke on him. These are pieces of ritual out of the 8th, 9th, 10th centuries and they – each one of them means something terribly specific and the most awesome ritual in the world is associated with their use. And the magician was very ritualistic and he would very carefully postulate what effect he was trying to achieve before he would be cause for that effect. That’s the first thing he’d do: What am I trying to do?

Now you actually have as much time as you postulate space and particles. And if you postulate lots of space and few particles you have action; you have a field of action there can take place. And if you postulate very little space and an awful lot of particles you have solid matter.

Then he would make a statement of what he was trying to do and having made a statement of what he was trying to do, he would just then initiate the steps necessary to accomplish it. If one did not do this, one would inevitably fall into this trap: he would become the effect of his own cause. Because what he had eventually accomplished would seem surprising to him. And might seem desirable as an effect upon him.

Now there isn’t any reason why you couldn’t do that one instantaneously. You could say, uh… „Now it’s from here.“ Don’t think these things have to grow. They don’t. That’s… that’s the whole trick of the universe. You could have this… you could say „From here to here, and there to there, and there to there, and there to there and there to there. That’s… that’s a piece of space. And now it is a solid mass of particles – there you are: a piece of iron.“ I mean, there isn’t any reason you couldn’t do that. Just simultaneous time.

So he carefully stayed out of that rat race; he had nothing further to do with it and at any time that he achieved this effect, then he would say, „You see, I achieved that effect.“

It does not depend upon any gradient scale of occurrence. Let me make that very plain to you: It doesn’t depend upon a gradient scale of occurrence.

It uh… he was, still cause to that effect, but a fellow who just flounders around and says, „Well, I think I’ll do so-and-so and so-and-so and we’ll leave it ail up to luck. And, what do you know, what happened – I finally wound up so-and-so and so-and-so and isn’t that cute of me?“ He gets over to a point of where he’s being continually the effect of his own cause. And sure enough, then and there we get a time illusion, because he becomes a thing more and more. He’s an object, more ‘n more ‘n more ‘n more an object.

Now there are many people around who know this instinctively and they can’t possibly figure out why they have to go through all this work, .particle collection idea, in order to have a whole flock of particles which then go together and form an object. Or why they have to go on a gradient scale of this sort of thing. And you can take a little kid and uh… when he wants something, he wants it right now. He doesn’t want it „till Daddy works another month so that you collect enough paycheck to this and that.“ And „Yes, dear. Now you want to be very… you realize, dear, that uh… these things take a little time, and so forth. And you have to work for what you get. And if you go to school and you gradually go across the line uh… and so on, why, you eventually work for 80 or 90 years and they will finally let you be a psychiatrist.“

And of course he can now only inevitably go down this tone scale until you get an infinity of MEST universe and a zero of personal cause, so you start out being at cause, be sure you don’t wind up as an effect, and the only way you can wind up as being an effect is forget that you wound up this effect over here. You did it. Nobody else did it. You did it. And as long as you know you did it, why, you’re all right.

And uh… uh… they… the fellow is in instinctive protest, is saying, „Noooo! This doesn’t have to be!“ And every once in a while somebody will jump sideways on this and say, „I want it right now! Zing! No gradient scale, anything of this sort. It’s got to be right now.“ And he’ll get into trouble with the rest of the society. They all come around and tell him how this takes time, They don’t tell him what time is. They merely say it takes time.

Now because a person suddenly says, „Well, all right, I take full responsibility for everything I’ve ever done and I’m to blame…“ well, you see, he didn’t postulate what he was trying to do in the first place, so you’re picking your preclear up where he sits as a sort of a pawn.

What they’re telling him is, „You put a lot of particles in gradually.“ They’re telling him the difference between, „Now we’ll make this box up here – this big cube – and now you want to just say, „That’s all full of particles and all those spaces are occupied and they’re in juxtaposition to each other in such a way that they’ll cohese, and those kind of tetrahedrons in space are going to do this and that, and therefore you’ve got iron.“ You… you just want to say, „Zong!“ and that takes place.“

He’s just been shuttled around here and there and so on. He never really had any intention clearly stated anywhere along the line. Now it’s up to you, it’s up to you to get him to state an intention – what is he trying to do? What does he want to become?

„Whereas we assure you solemnly that we know utterly that that cannot be done, because WE can’t do it.“ So they say, „Here’s the way you do this. First you make this big empty box. Now you’ve got that? Now you can’t have anything. You’ve just got to have an empty box and it has the flimsiest possible anchor points. So we can say they’re practically zero. Now we’ve got that box, and we take great care that it has the perfect geometric shape, and so forth. Now we take a particle – another little piece of space here – and we take this particle and we say it’s all full. We say that is in the shape of a tetrahedron and that is all full.

You make him state it. If you state it for him and if you do… if you state it for him, then be sure to remember that you stated it for him. Be sure you know when he is finally super-cleared or something of the sort, that you did it. And if he suddenly comes around and blows your house down as a result thereof, you have introduced some randomity that you did. But you shouldn’t be in a situation where it would upset you any to have your house blown down.

„Now we’re going to take that particle and we’re going to put that in the box, understand? All right, now we’re going to take another small piece of space here, because you see, we can’t do these big things. We’ve got to do small things. And uh… just take this second little tiny piece of space here and we say that’s all full of particles, that’s fine. That’s another tetrahedron, and we’ll put that in this big box. And this way… this way, eventually we will have a box full. And it’s much more satisfactory to do it that way.“

If you’re going to go up into altitudes like that, somebody comes around and blows your house down, .so you put the house together again. Boom, you say the house is there. You say, „What’s the matter, boy, you losing your force?“

And if you said, „We will make a large tetrahedron of space and fill it full of particles. And then two more, and then four more and then put those in this big box,“ that would not be fair. And you say, „What’s fair?“

Now here… here we have all up and down the scale, then, these various gradients, these cycles of action, and we find a cycle of action comes about because an individual does what? He starts in doing something and uh… he doesn’t say what he’s doing.

„Well, fair.“

Like the parson in the church, he asked the congregation if they liked his argufying and spewdifying and the whole church looked at him and kind of doubtfully. And finally the deacon said, „Well, we’re very fond of your argufying and spewdifying but you don’t show wherein.“ And the whole point of it is the fact that here’s your guy going into action action action action action and he just don’t show wherein at all. He… he’s just in action.

Evidently what’s fair is not well done. And that, by the way, is… is terribly true all across the line when people start to talk about what’s fair.

He takes somebody else and something else and… and uh… he gets kicked here and he says, „Well, it’s probably…“ He… he goes down and he eats a decayed whale upon the beach and he gets a terrible bellyache and he sits down, upon the sand a la Kipling and he says, „The gods have afflicted me.“

Now you’ll get the idea here, gradient scale. They want a gradient scale. They can’t do a lot of it at once, so they want to do a little bit at a time.

And every time he says, „I’m an effect, I’m an effect, I’m an effect, I’m an effect,“ or realizing that he did it, „I’m to blame,“ he digs himself further into the MEST universe cycle and that cycle goes from space to object, and an object is matter and things handle the object – the object doesn’t handle other things. So there’s your cycle and it is a cycle of failure to postulate cause and recognize that one is the effect of cause. Now you can start any time to do that because it’s not in existence in time.

Now this universe is built on that postulate that I just gave you. It’s built on the postulate that you take this space and you make little particles and fill the big space that way, and it’s built on the postulate additionally that when you get it just so full it starts to get smaller. That’s shrinkage and decay. In this way we’ve got a method of getting rid of these masses of things, or maybe a way of collecting them, or something. Nobody’s ever quite sure what they’re… what they’re doing on this. But it’s… it’s a game. And it should… should be just awfully bare-faced to you, you’re supposed to go down and…

It only becomes a time flow when one begins to abandon responsibility for the causes he postulated. And you start… the worst thing that could possibly happen to your preclear, one of the things that… that’s really nice and hot to run on homo sapiens, wonderful thing, are the times he denied that he had said it when he had. The times when he denied himself, and when he denied himself, he was dead. And a lot of little mites dance around in this society around people and they want to say, some of them say all the time, „Admit you didn’t say that.“

People are building an airplane down here, and they go down and they… they make the sheets, and they put the sheets on the airplane and so on. And that’s all very interesting.

„You have broken my heart, what you said was so terrible and so forth. Now tell me you didn’t say that. You didn’t mean that, did you?“

And they build this airplane and they put a motor on the front end of the airplane and they put gasoline into the thing. And they take a young boy and they train him how to fly, and they take the airplane out to the landing field and they take the young boy who knows how to fly and they put him in the cockpit. And they go up here to the… to the tower and they have a man in the tower who knows how to dispatch airplanes. And they have radio men and weather men to make sure that the airplane won’t get into trouble in weather. And they have radio stations and other fields and other places where you can get gasoline. And they’ve got this all figured out.

He said, „You are easily the um-hum-hum-hum-hum!“ And then they don’t… they don’t go around saying, it’s „I feel bad because he’s postulated that I am that, or has tried to direct me.“ No, they say, „Tell me you didn’t mean it.“ Or the whole argument will resolve around and finally when „peace“ is made, it will be on these lines: „I didn’t mean what I said.“

So what? So he can fly. You sit him down in a chair and you say, „Be two feet behind your head. Now go to Chicago.“

Oh yes he did! If he said, „I meant what I said and I meant every word of it. Just now I think you’re lovely and charming,“ he doesn’t deny himself. You see that that in essence is honesty with himself; he has not abandoned his own beingness. Because at the moment he said „You are easily the um-hum-hum-hum-hum,“ that was beingness and it was beingness before and it was beingness afterwards, but all of a sudden he’s taken a violent action point of beingness and intention. Then a little while after that he said, „No, that wasn’t I…“

And you immediately say, „But you can’t take a body to Chicago.“ Why should he take a body to Chicago? If he gets hot enough, when he gets to Chicago, he’ll make one.

So he’s saying „Any time I administer force or use force even in the shadow of a communication line, that isn’t I.“ And what do you know, he suddenly winds up as not being himself. He doesn’t know who he is.

That, that by the way, is the essence of teleportation. Well, what do you want to lug… lug a body around for? If you… you’d have to lug something around and it would encumber you.

And he’ll come around and ask you pathetically… he’ll ask you the most pathetic question. He’ll… he’ll say, „It… which… well, could you tell me… well, if I could just find out who I am, I think I would be all right.“ And he’ll pull that on you just continually: „If I could just find out who I am.“

A person has to encumber himself to the direct degree that he cannot create and destroy. And so if you want to lug this body around all the time… you could teleport it, sure enough one way or the other, but uh… why? You just uh… you’ve got this nice body and everybody looks at it and it feels solid to them and it’s all set and uh… you come in and there they are. And they say, „Well, I think I’ll go to Chicago.“ Poof! Poof!! There they are – walking through the Loop.

And the big joke is, he’s him. He’s asking, for instance, he’s asking on this astonishing thing. He’s saying, „Will you please tell me what names I have been assigned in the past, would you please give me a list of the effects I have been? Will you please give me a list of the times when people have assigned me an identity, in other words, when they have made an object out of me by giving me a name and a location? And they have given this to me and I have these things now, so I now am.“ Oh no he isn’t. That’s the moment when he’s not. He’s not himself at all, he is a name.

And that’s very simple, but they’d have to be able to re-create themselves a body when they got to Chicago which compared to this body, so there would be identification involved in the thing, if they’re that MESTy that they have to have identification.

One of the slippiest tricks again in Kipling that you can get a preclear to do uh… is just start repeating his own name. Tell him to repeat his own name. Repeats his own name, repeats his own name, „Well, who am I?“ And he gets this horrible funny state of being but not identified. And oh… it’s an interesting experiment.

What… what you really get identification on is matter. You don’t get identification over here on particles. A person who can BE a universe is not worried about whether his name is Jones or William’s or Spooner. He… he is not worried about what his name is. And possibly the beings which were in his universe, and so forth… he probably wouldn’t go around with his ear very harshly and solidly to the ground to make sure that they kept on calling him Jones – anything of that level.

If you get a little kid to do this, you’ll talk him right out of this universe. You just say, „Now what did you say your name was – Johnny Jones? Okay, now just start saying Johnny Jones.“

Now you say, „Well, Jones owns so-and-so and so-and-so, and you have private property. Therefore you have to have a label so that you can tell what he owns.“ Oh, what the… what the… hey! Wait a minute! What he owns? You mean to say that the guy’s got to own? Oh, this fellow has to own, huh? Why, I thought we were talking about gods! Gods don’t have to own, they create! And they don’t sell, they destroy!

The kid says, „Johnny Jones, Johnny Jones, Johnny Jones… The hell. Who am I?“ You’ll just desensitize it. It wears his name out because that’s just an identity.

There is no traffic in the marts of the Valhalla we’re talking about.

And therefore it’s an object so therefore it can be used up. The one that can’t be used up is his own beingness. Who is he? He’s him – that’s who he is. And as far as beingness is concerned, he’s who he decides he is, he’s not who somebody else decided he was.

Now when you get, however, into this whole subject of… of cycles of action, you find out that the imposition of a gradient scale on the manufacture of an item gives the illusion called time. And you want to unsolve this with the preclear – you’ll find your roughest preclear is the one who has the roughest time with possession. The roughest preclear has the roughest time with possession. He wants – he can’t have. The mere fact that he wants to be out of his head is enough to confirm the fact that he’s going to be IN his head. The fact that he doesn’t want something is the surest guarantee that he’s going to get it. He is just in a complete reversal, lower than that, he’s practically MEST. He cannot handle force, which means he cannot make objects. So if he cannot make objects, he is at the bottom scale of having to want.

And every time he decides to be somebody that somebody else decided he was, he gives up his own beingness and becomes an object.

So let’s take that as a cycle there. And uh… that would be… that would be the cycle of an object here, this space, particles, actions, solid and matter, and objects. And we put this on here very carefully: „MEST Universe.“ Now we’ll put also very carefully „December 1952“ and we’ll… we’ll make a translation of that uh… so that we know what 1952 we’re talking about. Because that is based on a very, very tremulous sort of thing.

Uh… the… the idea of naming is great magic in itself that the boys didn’t cover in this dissertation at all. I’m not giving you data out of that area. It’s just the… those boys were very cognizant of that one point. When thou dost not make a statement and clear intention of what thou art trying to become, thou unbecomest, Bud. Do not be hoist by thine own petard. Do not uh… suddenly pretend that you didn’t have anything to do with bringing about what you have now found yourself surrounded with.

It’s… it’s a… it’s right on the razor’s edge because that says, „A.D.“ And I don’t know that we know whose „A.D.“ it’s for. So we’ll put it what it is, which is Cycle 56, Marcation Two – which is Hub Time.

That gives you time, you see, the upset of cause and effect, the upset of it buries time. But the use of cause and effect brings it into being. And cause and effect, as it is deserted, brings about various states of being. And force, as it descends on the tone scale in the MEST universe, partakes more and more of solid character. And it gets solider and solider and solider and solider and solider, and down at the bottom of the tone scale, your preclear couldn’t quite know what to do with it to handle a force band.

Now there is the cycle of an object. Now get it very specifically: the cycle of an object here and now at this time, the place and what… what agreements you find yourself in.

Uh… to handle a piece of force he’d think you needed a derrick, really. You’ve at least got to have a wire. You’ve got to have a wire with great big insulators. And you’ve got to have all sorts of things in order to get force from one place to another.

Now, what cycle of action, then, for an object that’s built like that? Well, a cycle of action for an object that’s built like that goes this way: it goes Start, it goes Change, and it goes Stop. Those are the three characteristics of motion, that’s all. That… those… those… motion does those three things. It doesn’t do four things or six things or twelve things. It just does those three things: starts, changes and stops.

It wouldn’t occur to him that what he would do with the middle action of the band in action, he would say, „Let’s see, they want some force flowing along this line or something of the sort. All right. Kerrrwhap!“ He’s got force flowing along that line, oh, but, brother. Or if he were a little higher on the tone scale, he’d say, „Oh they need some force there? Well, okay, it’s there.“ And it would be there. Zong, zong, zong, zong.

Now, you can fancy this up here, then, as motion actions. You can fancy all this up, and make it very, very interesting by putting in here just a little bit more particulars, see? You have Start, and then you have Change additive, and you have Null Change, and then you have Change negative, and then you have Stop. Now that’s just highly particular. That’s null there in the middle.

Silly, it sounds to you, uh… perhaps, but there’s nothing easier to fool with than force; but there’s nothing more incredible than force, down at the bottom of the tone scale. Oh boy, is anybody in effect of this stuff. You know, you take a lousy little hundred and ten A.C. and you hook it into the mouth of a homo sapiens and he’ll complain.

Now this compares to this: uh… Start, Increase, Decrease, Stop. Start, Increase, Decrease, Stop. That’s the way this works out. This is the formula of agreement on how we’re to make matter and maintain it and increase it and decrease it and so forth. Here we have again – Conception, Growth, Conservation here in the middle, then Decreasing – you notice old people start shrinking – and then Stop. When they turn to dust they really shrink.

Now this force as it goes down scale is descriptive of certain states of being and the first one is how much agreement as you go down from… from 40 down, is how much agreement has a person had or used; and the next one is how much communication does he enter into; and the third one is what is his state of affinity or emotion? And up here it’s sensation, way up here, and then it becomes affinity as we call the emotional band.

Now there is all these related cycles of action. They’re just all the same thing; we just kept drawing the same thing only we’re getting more and more into experience on this. So let’s just be… let’s say to hell with this and go right on out and find out how many of these things can we interrelate.

Right in here… we’re quite, of course, very accustomed to what homo sapiens uses as part of an emotional band and the fellow really doesn’t think that a person has other emotions than this. He thinks that he knows something about „the emotion, spirit of play.“ He’s a complete foreigner to it.

Well, we have to go into comparative experience. You saw yesterday space was beingness. We could compare space to beingness. Now that’s very handy, because as a person increases in space, he increases in beingness. This is observable in a preclear and it’s extrapolable from other things. So, all right, we’ll say space is beingness, and this is doingness, and this is havingness. Beingness, Doingness, Havingness.

He… he knows that it’s lots of fun to go out and play a game. And sometimes when he is 30 or something like that, he’ll go out and play catch with his boy or something of the sort, you see. And he knows what play is – It’s something you work at. And he has the spirit of work down pat, well, that is the emotion called effort. But the spirit of play he doesn’t know too much about.

And up here we have this, of course, as space, energy, object – object doesn’t matter. When you say „object“, we’re talking about energy, too.

And you suddenly spring a preclear into the spirit of play and he says, „My God, where the… where’s this been? I’ve got a ghosty feeling that when I was a little kid I used to feel this once in a great while, once in a great while, something like this, but this is really something.“ And he will suddenly recognize that this has more intensity to it than sex.

All right, and this is Start-Beingness-Space, and this is Start, Change, Stop. And this is Creation, and this is Conservation, more or less, and that’s Destruction.

Ho, sensation – spirit of play – so we have those various things that come down tone scale from here to here and those things, the communication ability and the agreement level, and the uh… communication, agreement, and emotional or sensational state, the three of them exist at any level; they are a constant. They are interdependent at a constant and we get the triangle ARC.

And all through all of these things we have a related experience. And that’s very strange that all we have to do when we’re looking at uh… all of this material is uh… just interrelate these items. When we’re processing or trying to understand something, we can’t understand it in one category, shift it over to another category of the same bracket and we can understand it.

Now ARC, ARC in the past we used as an interrelated experience. We knew that affinity was related to communication and that these two were related to agreement, that you could not go into communication with something without at least partially agreeing with it. You agreed with anything to some degree that you went into communication with and to agree with something you have to go into communication with it. You had to agree or disagree with something, and that was very certain. Disagree with it or agree with it in order to be in communication with it. You had to have something about that.

We’ve got three things working here, then.

And so you had your communication uh… band over here was dependent upon the emotional band. The amount of uh… communication you would enter into and the type and variety of that communication was established by the sensation. Uh… the emotion, the affinity, the way you felt about this and uh… so you… you have your interconnected things there.

Now we’ve got the various items here of energy, and when we get down to the final analysis, how does this relate? A preclear must be able to create the condition, energy or object, he must be able to conserve it, protect it, control it, hide it, change it, age it, make it go backwards on a cycle of action, perceive it with all perception, shift it at will in time, rearrange it, duplicate it, turn it upside-down or on its side at will, make it disobey MEST laws, be it, not be it and destroy it. If he can do all of those things, he’s answered every condition that is possible in the MEST universe.

You couldn’t agree with somebody without going into communication with him and having some emotional upset, even if it was something you were fondly calling no emotion about it: „I didn’t get upset about it, I held myself in; I can control myself beautifully. I had no feeling about it.“

Now that just comes out of this stuff. This is with ease… considerable ease with which you do this stuff. Space and beingness are coincident. A man is as much beingness as he can handle space. He easily starts things because he can always create space for himself, a little more difficult to change things, and it’s sometimes quite difficult to stop things, once changed, in this universe.

Oh yeah? Well, that’s a sensation. So, we had ARC ARC ARC, so at any point on this from zero, zero from minus eight-point-zero right on up at any level, we have an ARC and an ARC and an ARC and an ARC, and for any level of that tone scale, we’ve got ARC.

So the… as far as energy is concerned, it requires energy to do. It also requires space and matter, because energy or little tiny particles of matter, which sum up to big particles of matter with no space in which to move, very rapidly and that is matter. A particle with no space to go anyplace is matter.

Well, looks like we have to get into something a little hotter. We haven’t tied… I just say there’s ARC at any point of that tone scale and we don’t tie those things in any closer to the MEST universe than just ARC. So we better tie those in.

Now we have, then, uh… energy compares to doingness and, of course, the essence of energy is change. We get uh… things shifting this way and that way and around and around, and we get change – consistent and continual.

And we’d better tie them in, but good. And that doesn’t take me forever to tie them in, fortunately, because I finally hooked them up into terms of conditions of energy. And ARC comes to mean, suddenly, conditions of energy.

And energy, of course, when we… I put conservation in there just to mark the center point. Then it ought to be also „Grow, Conserve and uh… Decay.“ And the operation of energy can be found to be in Growth, Conservation and Decadence. It’s uh… uh… that’s Change, but those are your characteristics of Change.

Now, we had better look at energy and find out what are the three component parts of energy, if we’re going to do that. And we found that energy requires space and it’s a particle and it’s action and it becomes an object. We found that doesn’t… energy, but what do you know, there’s three varieties of that happening.

Now Change is marked out in terms of increase-decrease. And doingness, up here, is initiate-inhibit. You can… you can… you can initiate and carry forward something, or you can inhibit something in doingness. And just pure doingness wouldn’t do either. If you really wanted to be very technical, it would neither initiate nor inhibit, but you can’t have a theoretical uh… null in the middle of action. So right in the middle of action there’s always an umpire. You can always have an umpire on a game, because that has to be one of the characteristics.

There’s the big variety of their being, just a… a flow and then there’s a dispersal and then there’s a ridge. Now, we get here a flow, there’s… these are the three kinds of energy. Three actions of energy, that’s a flow. Now you understand that that could be a smooth wave as it is, a sine wave or something of the sort, or it could be a noise wave.

So, over here we have an object, or matter. And that’s havingness, and that’s stop, and that’s destruction. And those are related things.

Or it can be… it can be a complex wave here. Something that goes like this, it doesn’t matter what kind of a complex wave it would be. Any one of those things are flows. And it really doesn’t matter whether that is a small wave or a great big wave like this.

Now let’s… let’s… apply this practically in the business of running the game called „MEST universe.“ Let’s not worry about processing for a moment, and let’s take a look at these things and see if they’re useful. We want to kill something. All you’ve got to do is stop it often enough and it’ll die, just as simple as that. You don’t have kill a puppy dog by shooting him in the head. Every time he runs in the room, stop him – stop him – stop him. He tries to bark – stop him. He tries to jump up in a chair – stop him. He wants to do this – stop him. He wants to do that – stop him. Don’t let him do anything. Any time he starts to initiate any action or carry forward any action, you insist that his position on the cycle is stop – and he will die.

Anything like that is a flow and your flow goes from this point to this point, point one, point two. You see, now we could say that an effort flow was a… a big heavy wave that went like this and that it was an effort flow, so it… there was… did you ever notice, by the way, that somebody trying to pick up something heavy trembles? That he’s got a shake to it, he can’t hold it very stable and you get this kind of a noise wave going along with an effort band. You get a noise wave going along with it. You get a tremble that would go along with it.

Now let’s say you want to stop something. You want to stop something – give it things. Give it lots of matter – lots of matter. And the more matter you give it, the slower it will operate. And you want to stop it dead in its tracks, just empty the dump trucks on it. It’ll stop. Just give it things. Give it things that it considers quite desirable – gold watches and… and Cadillacs and mink coats and… The more you give on this, why, the uh… more upsetting it is to this person. And they… they KNOW they want to have these things, they know that, because that’s right, it says right there on Agreement One: „I want to have the MEST universe.“ And it… they say they want things – but the more they get of them, the unhappier they get.

Now all of these things can be graphed on a cathode ray tube, kinephotometer, uh… numbers of other ways of doing it. Uh… they could follow magnetic patterns on pieces of tape. You can measure these things with meters.

And if you want to just get rid of somebody, just completely, start giving them a lot of presents. You’ll just… you’ll just – bye-bye. You have to exaggerate it quite a bit, but if you were handy at making things so that every… every 15 or 20 minutes, why, they could receive another present, they… they would either run away utterly or die in their tracks.

It doesn’t matter whether they’re a wave of the sea, a… a rarefaction condensation wave such as that passes through air, whether or not it’s the passage of a particle as in an X-ray machine, because that is a very… that’s an interesting one. That’s a… a particle going bzzzzzzzt like this in a motion and it’s flying from here to there. The bottom here is a particle.

That’s one of the biggest mistakes that… that women make – or men make – in interpersonal relationships. There’s a good and adequate reason for that, by the way.

In other words, to have a particle you would say it’s… it’s going vrvrvrvrvr and then we sent it going zzzzzzzzzt. So it’s a specialized kind of a wave, and therefore when the professors stand behind their benches in physics classes and they say, „Well, tell me, is it a particle or is it a wave?“ they’re full of beans. They’re just full of beans.

Now, let’s take… if you want to stop something, the neatest way to do it is destroy it… really the neatest way is just destroy it, it’ll stop.

A straight line is inevitably a type of wave. You couldn’t possibly have a straight line that wasn’t a wave. Because a wave essentially is a path of flow, and you wouldn’t have… you wouldn’t have any better or more useful definition than to say a wave was a path of flow, or a pattern of flow and, by God, the day that you can take a straight line out of the category of patterns, I haven’t seen yet.

And uh… if you want matter… if you want matter… keep stopping things, don’t start starting things. If you want to accumulate matter, start stopping things. And if you stop enough things, you’ll get lots of matter. It is an operating principle of such magnitude that it would shock you. You think the capitalista has to be very, very sharp, you think he has to be a real sharp boy and get around there, at the right place at the right time, and call up Bill… He’s actually just cutting his throat. Every time he makes a motion, he’s cutting his throat, if his goal is to be a great capitalista. He should never, under any circumstances, do that sort of thing. All he should do is keep on stopping things.

So, is it a particle or is it a flow? They’re just obfuscating themselves. You know they keep changing their minds about it, which is the most humorous of all.

If’ he finds out that there’s going to be a bank loan which is going to be transferred to such a place, all he should do is make it his business to stop it from happening. If he finds out that they’re going to build a certain item in a certain place, all he’s got to do is stop that from being built.

One day, one year, it’s fashionable to say… it’s fashionable to say X-rays are flows, and the next year it’s uh… fashionable to say X-rays are actually particles in motion, which are travelling in straight lines. And the next year they change their minds again. They say a photon is travelling in a straight line so therefore it’s a particle flow – it is not a wave motion.

If there’s a new law going to be passed, he should stop it from being passed. It doesn’t matter what it is – of course, they’ll kill him, but then what the hell. I mean, he’s just a capitalist. Uh… and, by the way, it works out the same way for the commissars. That’s a big joke, you know. There’s no… there is no mental difference and no ridge structure difference between a commissar and a capitalist, which I think is the most amusing thing of all. And, of course, this would have to be true or the two bums would never be clawing each other’s throats out. They’re both trying to have so madly that they have to stop each other.

Oh, no, I mean, these are not workable definitions and that’s all you want in a definition. Anything that’s flowing on a wave is a particle flow. You take an electric line and it has electrons in it and those electrons are going brrrr. They’re a particle of flow.

You wonder what’s going to happen to communism; well, it will stop capitalism. You want to know what’s going to happen to stop capitalism; well, it’ll be stopped by communism. It’s very simple because they’re both heading for the same goal. Now we get a nice interlinked relationship of stop going in both directions there.

They’re going like mad in there, and you get the number of inches which an electron moves on that electrical flow that’s coming in there now during a day, you can measure it with a tape measure.

Now the destruction should be… should be the main business of the capitalist – that’s what he should specialize in. And sure enough, there’s always a little suspicious thread of – you know that last little war we just got through fighting? You know, I could swear somebody promoted that for their own benefit. I could just swear that was the case. It just looks that way.

It isn’t flying down that line like water through a pipe; it’s being kicked and it’s uh… like a… you rack up a flock of billiard balls here… in order to have billiard balls you gotta have things that are in motion. They’re not statics.

Now you take Pearl Harbor. Let’s see: they ordered in all the ships into the harbor for a three-day’s admiral inspection immediately before it was bombed. Yet, at the same time they had service from the Russian Intelligence Corps that said that Pearl Harbor was going to be bombed at eight o’clock on Sunday morning. Now they had other confirming lines, and 24 hours before Pearl Harbor was bombed a submarine had been sunk immediately outside the harbor at Pearl Harbor. Now it’s a very funny thing that an admiral’s inspection was what was ordered, because an admiral’s inspection means that you take all your ammunition out of the ready boxes on deck and put it below in the magazines. That’s very peculiar, and it’s very funny that in the first lines of strategy and tactics – it says, in the US Naval Academy it says, „When two nations are engaging in diplomatic relations and adjustments“ – or words to that effect, meaning when there’s a little strain in the air – the position of the fleet should be at sea with whereabouts unknown.“ That’s line one of elementary tactics, US Naval Academy.

We’re studying statics and kinetics, only we’re really studying statics and kinetics. And the old boys really just pretended they were. They said, „You see this object; it is sitting there, isn’t it?“ All right, there it sits and therefore it’s a static. And you say, „Oh, no, where do you get this?“

And it’s very strange thing that when you have a message that says, „Pearl Harbor is going to be bombed at eight o’clock in the morning,“ and you get this, somehow or another the admiral in charge of all this in Washington is at a party and somebody else is at another party and they finally get in touch with these fellows and they… find out, they get in touch with somebody over there – whoever was there at the time, I’ve forgotten. And uh… they… they uh… get these people, and then these people all say, all say, „Well now, the thing to do…“ – see? There they sit. They’ve got batteries of telephones, secret circuits and everything else. „And th… th… the thing to do is to put that in top secret naval code. Well, that only takes about three hours to encode; they probably don’t even have it in Pearl Harbor, but uh… we will send them word of warning in plenty of time, and we’ll put this in top secret code, and it’ll take three hours to put it in the code and about an hour to transmit it, and then when it gets there it’ll take them four or five hours to break it down.“ And what do you know? That code was broken down and finally the message was read at ten o’clock Sunday morning, Pearl Harbor time – two hours after everything was in ruins.

That thing has eight motions already if it’s on the surface of earth. Well, there’s the motion of the earth going around the sun; there’s the motion of the variation of the position of earth with relationship to the sun called the orbit. There’s the rotation uh… it… it, by the way, is a changing motion, it’s not a… a stable motion; and there is in addition to that the spin of the earth around its axis; and that ball sitting there statically, motionless, you see, is travelling already, being on the surface of the earth, by one motion alone: it’s travelling at almost a thousand miles an hour.

Now I don’t mean to infer by that that there was anything strange or peculiar about Pearl Harbor. I don’t tell you the thing was sold out at all. The thing was not sold out, very, very definitely wasn’t sold out. It was just „stupidity’d“ out. And uh… there is fortunately no monopoly on stupidity, and stupidity is no test they use in politics or naval or military circles. They never test for stupidity. They say „intelligence tests“, and so forth. They never have stupidity tests.

Any time you can show me something that’s going a thousand miles an hour and say that thing is standing still, you’d have to be a better magician than a physics professor. Because a static would simply mean something by definition that had no motion in it.

Yeah. When you get these three things working together, you really have a mess on your hands, because they don’t work together, they work simultaneously: Havingness will stop, Stoppingness will destroy, Destroyingness, oddly enough, results in Havingness.

They define the word STATIC as something without motion. That’s great. Kinetic is motion, something that’s moving, or a potentiality of motion. You look right there in Webster’s and you look in the physics books and you look everyplace and it says a static is something that isn’t moving and a kinetic is something that’s moving, or can move, and there it is.

Now you want to know how that possibly short-circuits. Well, let’s look at war; if you destroy the army you get the country. You get the idea? Havingness. If a fellow has to have something which somebody else has, it’s a lead pipe cinch that he’s going to have to destroy to get it. And what do you know? He’ll destroy what he is getting, too. He’ll lessen its workability. There’s be an element of destruction entered into anything which is procured in that fashion. And this is a working, a little working rule in the MEST universe.

And then they show you a ball which is sitting on the surface of the earth moving in eight different directions simultaneously. There’s the tip of the solar system, there are all sorts of motions with relationship to other spaces. Completely in addition to that, let’s take this billiard ball and look inside of it – its own structure – and we find out that we could actually trace the pattern of molecules and atoms through that billiard ball and they’re going like mad inside the billiard ball, and the particles which make up the molecules and atoms of each of the molecules and atoms are going like mad in the molecules and atoms, and yet somebody tells you that thing is not in motion. Well, brother, it is in motion.

Somebody wants to go down here and take over… take over the combined Dupont factories. And they go into a… a destruction of a lot of reputations and a lot of fortunes and a lot of this’es and that’es, and finally they get the Dupont factories over. And the Dupont factories, at that time, would not produce what they had produced. You’d think they’d go right on producing, but they won’t do it.

Cause that’s motion itself and by definition motion, so when we study a static for heaven’s sakes, a static would have to be something that had no wave length. It would have to have no volume. It would actually have no location in space. This would be your static. And it would be nothing there. And that would be a static.

Let’s take General Foods: General Foods accounts for one or two percent of all the food that’s distributed in the United States. Well, it’s just wonderful that at the time that General Foods was making a rush to get this terrific monopoly on food preparation and so on in the United States, they kept grabbing little companies, and they would go out and they’d grab products which were good products. And they would cut a few throats and lay them in the streets and run a few tanks over them and uh… wipe them out on the stock exchange, and uh… buy up their due bills and close down on them so they couldn’t get machinery that they were using from the places they were. In other words, cut off, cut off, cut off – stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. And all of a sudden the little company would say, „All right, I have no choice. We will sell out to you.“

So we’re studying a static and a kinetic – just above 40.0 we have a static, a real static. And when we get down to MEST down there, low part of the scale, we’re studying a kinetic. So we’re studying the science of static and kinetics in Scientology. And that science has not been outlined in the subject of physics. Hummm.

And, by the way, it never occurs to a person in that bracket to walk in the front door and say, „Here’s three million dollars. Now how about your company? That’s fine. Let’s sign on the dotted line.“ He… he just can’t… he just wouldn’t know how to operate. That would be beyond him. He… he’s got to do it the other way and invariably will. You just look at the… the trading that goes on in the back of the bank. It’s fascinating.

It’s very, very amusing, it’s very amusing, the limitations which homo sapiens puts upon himself. He… he sets out to study the science of static and kinetics and then he doesn’t define a kinetic and he doesn’t define a static. Except he put. it in the dictionary: it’s exactly what they are, and then he never tries to study them.

All right, so we get… we get Postum – let’s take Postum. Uh… General Foods uh… cut its throat and uh… threw it over the shoulder and… and… and packed it off into slavery, and the product called Postum went down in quality – zoooom! The type of can in which it was packed was markedly changed, and that went down in quality – zoooom! And the sales of Postum went down in quality – zoooom! And then General Foods sits back there and say, „You’ve got to have, you’ve got to have, you’ve got to have. Advertise, advertise, advertise, advertise. Postum, Postum, Postum – everybody drinks Postum, Postum, Postum – everybody, everybody, everybody… horrible stuff – drink it.“

Yeah, he says… he’s said all this time what a static is and then he’s never studied a static. All right, let’s take a look at this then. We find out that this flow is a characteristic and that this flow can exist at any level of the whole wave scale, and the wave scale can go from a wave length of one over infinity down to the wave length of infinity.

„All right, we surrender. We’ve got to have.“

But the second you say it has zero, it becomes a static and does not become a wave motion. That’s simplicity, isn’t it? So we’re studying from static to kinetic, and we’re really studying it here. We’re finding out some terribly interesting things, all of which could have been found out much earlier.

The degree to which a person has to have is the degree to which he will survive. If he’s got to have everything all packaged up solid, he’s stopped and he’s dead, because although possession is an end goal, when attained, it ends the cycle of action.

That’s a flow. Now an aesthetic wave would be a flow, an emotional level could be a flow, effort could be a flow, electric lights are a flow, supersonic is a flow, uh… X-ray machines are a flow, uh… the uh… path of wave motion through the ocean is a flow, the path of wave compaction, rarification as you go through a block of ice is a flow, doesn’t matter what wave length. A radio station sitting out here madly emanating electronic magnetic waves uh… is establishing a flow and those are all wave lengths because they are all measurable in terms of wave length.

There is never a great adventurer who did not end his career upon having discovered the sacred treasure of Peru. Bolitho, good old Bolitho, with his TWELVE AGAINST THE GODS – it’s a wonderful thing to read – gorgeous! And the introduction of TWELVE AGAINST THE GODS is one of the best pieces of work I know of, even related to a lot of things, and particularly to this subject.

In physics you try to divide these things into… into rarification and condensation formations and actual flow formations. And yet they show you what they have as actual flow formations or rarefaction condensation formations. That’s what’s interesting.

You know, we can add this little line to it: we… if a fellow,. if a fellow would act and act. and act and then finally with his terrific ambition attain the treasure of Peru, and then he would turn around and look at all the people who had impeded him in getting it and he would simply take the bars of gold and the gems and make those people have them, he’s all set. And if he would walk away from his greatest triumph – and if a man ever could do this – walk away from his greatest triumph with his hands empty and his pocket empty and with maybe just the shirt on his back, he would live to triumph again and again and again and again. If he could do that.

Rarefaction condensation takes place in an electric light line in order to get electricity to flow. Okay, you see, another thing, funny part thing part about radio, it’s going through space where there is nothing and it’s doing rarefaction condensation to go through space where there is nothing.

You know, we live in the midst of a tremendous amount of propaganda – continuous MEST universe propaganda on which the vector is 180 degrees twisted, so that we are led to believe that so-and-so is the case. And then we take that on faith, and we don’t go out and look. We don’t see what is the end product, for instance, of finding the treasures of Peru.

That’s why the old boys said there has to be such a thing as ether. Doesn’t have to be anything like ether. All you have to do is put out a big, big fan of ion beams of some sort or another, throw out ions of some sort which they probably have not described adequately yet, and then you just rarefy… fy and condense these… these uh… ions as you go through and you have a perfectly adequate wave flow.

Let’s just take the sweepstake winners of a few years ago; let’s look them over and find out what happened to them. I know a little girl in Hollywood who is a very famous star today. Very good friends, and she is a… well, they got lots of MEST… they’ve got lots of MEST today, she and her husband. And uh… gosh. The only thing she was interested in was her family. Her family in the East. And they all came out to Hollywood and she had this tremendous income. And she could give them anything they wanted. She proceeded to do so. She has no more family – the one thing that she cared about, her sisters and so forth. And then the whole group has just gone to pieces completely. And yet what is she interested in? She’s interested in her work. She isn’t interested in what she has. She would buy a Cadillac and leave it on the driveway and never look at it again. She would be in a position where she could do that.

See what we mean by flow? All right, let’s put flow under one heading. How does it… what is it in experience? It’s communication. Let’s go on to the next one.

Do you know that this kid isn’t happy? You see… you see this kid’s name in lights all over the place. And you’d say, „Gee, this kid certainly must be happy.“ Oh, no! If this kid could just make up her mind that what she was trying to do was what she was trying to do – she was trying to act and she loved to act and she loved the atmosphere and the creation of acting. And if she would go into her dressing room in her gingham dress, or her 3.98 dress and put on the costume of the play and take it off again and put on that dress, and every time they gave her a pay envelope, take 50, 60 dollars, enough to eat out of the thing and pay her hotel rent and throw the rest of it in the nearest garbage can, she’d be a happy girl.

We have here a ridge. A ridge is formed from two flows. And these two flows hitting will pile things up. If you were to take a stroboscopic picture of throwing a bucket of water against the side of a house – you would find that at the moment it hit the side of the house that there was a great big gob of water standing there. There was a lot of water there. It’s standing there in a mass. The water stops flowing when it leaves the lip of the bucket and it hits the side of the house and it goes kaplash.

But nobody can expect her to do that, and the studio gives her all this money and they… they wonder why she isn’t happier and why this old spark isn’t always there and so on. They’re killing her, little by little, inch by inch.

And then it stands there in a mass for an instant and then… then trickles on down the wall, pulled by gravity, not by any… any necromancy, it’s just pulled by… by the agreement called gravity and uh… this goes down the wall and what do you have left? A dry wall? No, you don’t. You have a wet wall. And that wet wall is a remaining part of a flow which is impinged upon the wall of the house and which in itself is embryonically a ridge.

And that’s completely contrary to the way the MEST universe is supposed to run. You’re told very carefully, „Now look: if you’re a success, you get an awful lot of stuff. And you can have all these things. And you can have these big beautiful homes and you can have all this way, and you can have all that way, and you can be very happy then.“ And actually you can persist in that… you can persist in that delusion, because it’s a completely backwards modus operandi and it doesn’t fit and it won’t work out that way at all. You could persist in that to kid yourself in order to keep yourself in action. But the second you cease to know it’s a pretense, you get caught in the trap of it.

Now if you were to take two buckets of water and you were to throw them at each other, you would have two flows which would be meeting in mid-air and if you’d have a stroboscopic camera there, you would be able to study the pattern they made and the wall they made when they hit each other. The two flows hit each other and they make a wall.

You actually have to be in a position like this sometime to have a superfluity of MEST to find out what it does to you. It’s just fabulous what a lot of MEST can do to you. It makes an awful „MEST“ out of you.

Now if we take electronics, the boys just got wise to this not too long ago. Uh… the… very, very, very new, newer than our material, uh… no coincidence in this at all, I mean the fact that we’ve been studying ridges like this and been talking about electronic densities, because this… this other stuff, really there’s no relationship, because there’s some very old writers who suppose something like this might happen. Well, we can prove it happens.

Now, these things are then related. And where you see these things cropping up as manias, where you see havingness mounting up and the MEST stacking up all over the place and getting higher and higher and higher, and that is more or less your object and modus operandi, you’re going to get a stop, and where you get stops, you’re going to get destruction. And where you get destruction and stop and so forth, there’s going to be more matter there.

You take an electronic beam of some sort and you pour it in from the right, which is flow A here, and you take an electronic beam and you pour it in from the left and we call that B. And if you hit them one against the other – crash. They stand for a moment. You turn the beams off and they’ll stand there. Isn’t that peculiar? You’ve got a persistence of crash. Good name for it – just a persistence of crash.

Boy, there is nothing as full of matter as a battlefield after the battle has been quote „won“. You’ve really got an awful lot of bodies there if your goal is bodies. They’re in sort of a secondhand state, because they always are on such a thing. But that’s the way it goes.

Now if you have a whole lot of electronic beams with lots of horsepower in it and a whole lot of electrons, that means a whole lot of force in it, and they hit each other and they ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and ran, the persistence of crash would eventually become matter.

Well now, these are interrelated experience. If you want to know why this man’s space is in bad shape, it’s because he conceives his beingness to be in had shape. If his beingness is in bad shape, then it’s the matter of ability to start is in bad shape. And if his ability to start is in bad shape, that simply has to do with what he can create. If he can create, his beingness will be in pretty good shape. If his… if his creation is in good shape, his space will be in pretty good shape. They just all go together.

And that persistence of flow hitting each other would take on the emotional aspects of such things as apathy, anger, conservatism, in other words, those things which hold. The formation of matter could well be accounted for by electronic flows in space hitting hitting hitting hitting and this persistence continuing and continuing until at last you have something which is in apathy and that something which is in apathy is a ridge, which becomes matter.

Now if you want to knock out this – we have all these various lines here – uh… interrelation, if you want to correct any one of them, address the other three. Remember old ARC? Well, we’ve got it right here.

So we have that flow hitting that flow. Now there are numbers of ways you could make ridges. You have here what is called a dispersal. A dispersal is a specialized kind of flow. But that’s your next type here. There is where you’re getting an outrush from, and oddly enough, we will just have to classify under dispersals implosions. This is an ex- and this is an in-.

ARC, by the way, is – I’ll comment on it much more broadly – just to put it in here and show you that we’re not out of the frame of reference we’ve been studying for an awfully long time. There’s an ARC here and an ARC here and an ARC here. There’s a gradient scale of ARCs, only ARC is the plane but uh… it’s a triangular plane, and it adjusts up and down, back and forth on this scale. And you can say ARC, ARC uh.

Here… here everything is dispersing down to a point because it’s particles which are dispersing, you understand; this is not a picture of a… we’re not… that’s not the name of a pattern so much as the name of the behavior of particles in space. And those are going from where they are at a mad rush and they could be coming down to this point in the middle and that would be implosion and they could be going out from this point and that would be an ex – dispersal.

We have over here ARC, and so on.

You could probably call it an impersal and an expersal, if you wanted to invent a lot of words – we don’t happen to need the language.

Now let’s… let’s look at this and let’s get into the most vital center of what we know to be the backbone of thinking ability. And that’s Differentiation, Association and Identification. We’re right back there. Differentiation, Association, Identification. Out of Association, you get logic, you get action thinking. You reach things, and so forth, with action thinking.

Now where that… let’s say two dispersals hit each other, and they hit each other. Materials rushing out here like mad and so on. And here’s another one bang bang bang bang. We… we get this thing exploding out from the middle here and where they hit in the center area, the impact of energy together will again make a ridge.

And out of Identification you get insanity. You go down to the spinbin and you’ll find identification is identification. And so „he rowed a horse“ R-O-W-E-D is the same as „he rode a horse“ R-O-D-E. And there he sits with the oars on the back of a horse.

But… what is that? That is just the number of flows at random hitting one to the other. Now we could combine an implosion and an explosion in such a way as to get a turbulence. Ah, now we’re getting someplace, aren’t we? We can get a turbulence of electronic flow and we get a consistent turbulence of electronic flow; you get a ridge.

Identification, Time, everything else, ceases to be, it becomes a solid mass.

The three actual levels of energy behavior are flows, ridges, and dispersals. But a dispersal as you can see is a specialized multiple flow. It’s just because a flow is parallel that you can call those the three.

So let’s just put this in here where it belongs: Differentiation, Association and identification. And there they are.

Now a flow comes along here and a flow comes along this away and it’s behaving itself very nicely and it all of a sudden hits an existing ridge. And it’ll go splash. See, it’s going in that direction and it goes splash back this way and leaves a certain amount of its energy residual here on a ridge. Ridges are best formed when two flows hit, but we’ll say there’s just something there already and it hits that and you get that thing flowing. So we’ll see here that the actual pattern of progress of electronic current is from a flow to a dispersal to a ridge.

So we have related the gradient scale of insanity to the gradient scale of action… of the Cycle of Action and Space, Energy and Matter.

Let’s see, you get a dispersal at the moment of impact of the flow. So you could categorize this as the three types of flows here which… I mean three types of the characteristics of energy; I should be very precise about this, flow, dispersal and ridge.

Let’s take a break.

Energy as it begins to form goes into flows, dispersals and ridges. At the top of the tone scale, you have the unimaginably very, very, very tiny flow dispersal ridge which makes, what do you know, a particle. A particle consists of a flow dispersal ridge, flow dispersal ridge, flow dispersal ridge, and is itself then a particle. And it’s doing all sorts of weird things inside itself.

Now your next step down from a particle you would start coming in wider space, and this wider space would be particles which were doing flows dispersals ridges, flows dispersals ridges, flows dispersals ridges. When I was talking about harmonics a little earlier, I was talking about less and less heavily formed ridges, up the scale.

A ridge is fairly light at the beginning. Now we get the ridge itself – doing some flowing and some dispersing and a new ridge, and we come down tone scale. So we plot the tone scale from 40 down in terms of flow dispersal ridge, what do you know? uh… as being that pattern which is coming down there. Now we have a flow dispersal ridge, new tone, and we get a flow dispersal ridge and we get a flow dispersal ridge. Get that! Now you see that gradient scale?

You’re looking at the construction of matter. Flow dispersal ridge, flow dispersal ridge, flow dispersal ridge. Now you’re also looking at postive-negative plate voltages. Every time this thing hits you get a ridge at one potential positive, let’s say – that’s have us. And the next one down from that is don’t have us, and the next one is have us and the next one is don’t have us, and you get a continual interchange of energy flows, dispersals and ridges up and down the tone scale; that’s why you have these dichotomies.

Positive-negative poles make electrical flows and they can make them at any level of the tone scale. And why then is this so important? This is terribly important because it’s the… we treat those things in the human experience as sensation and we therefore have the gradient scale of sensation so when we look at this… this flow dispersal ridge proposition we are getting then sensation continually all the way down the line as different things, different things, and more and more solid things. And any sensation could be categorized as a… as a dispersal or as a ridge or as a flow.

And what is agreement? And what’s reality? That is the direction of the flow. Reality is the direction of flow; if your disagree is flowing out, your agree is flowing in. If it’s flowing in you get reality of agreement, if It’s flowing out you’ve got a reality of disagreement. Then direction of flow is reality whether it’s a flow, dispersal or a ridge, is it affinity, and whether or not it is at one point or another on the band scale, which I showed you is at right angles to this, tells you what kind of communication it is.

At the level of light it’s sight. At the level of… of sound it happens to be hearing. At the level of tactile it’s another thing. At the level of effort it’s another thing, and each one of those is being used as a… as a perception band, and the perception band is present at each level of these things. But where it’s a ridge it’s blind. Where it’s a flow it can be seen, where it’s a dispersal it’s scattered and changing.

And so as you go up tone scale with a preclear you’re getting these three conditions in terms of perception all the way up the tone scale and they’re getting less and less and less. But they turn from excellent to poor for each band and then they’ll turn good again.

And… but they’ll turn better and then they turn poor, and then they turn better than that and then they turn a little less poor, and then they turn much better than that and what are you studying then when you’re studying communication? You are studying what point of the tone band and whether or not the affinity of it is a flow, a dispersal or a ridge.

And those three interactions which we’ll cover much, much more thoroughly are then the three characteristics of ARC as measured up against space, energy and objects and we have then human experience.

That will be all, thank you.
