Fourth reel, December 17. Continuing demonstration of Step Four.

This is first hour, afternoon lecture, on December the 17th following Dreadful Tuesday.

LRH: All right. Now let’s mock up, let’s make sure now we’ve got one for each… every good friend that you had for the last 74 trillion years and mock ‘em up there 360 degrees all the way around.

Now, some of you have accused me of operating in this… I mean, of… no… some of you, just – I think, just one has mentioned it to me, „You of course are not giving these lectures with any organizational plan“ – that’s been mentioned to me. And uh… well, that’s all right. And that has not been true up to this moment. What you got was the basic fundamentals you had read to you there the first 20 pages of the book which covered some of the old material and lined it up and showed how much of it we were still using, and this material was followed by our newer theory. And that newer theory was merely, as I was showing you in the last lecture, a little bit higher up the cone than we’d been before, and evaluated the same data. And then this was followed by an interweaving of Tone Scale and Cycles of Action and Cycles of Action and the Tone Scale and Tone Scales and Cycles of Action. And there was an awful lot about Space. There was an awful lot about Energy. And there was quite a bit following that on various techniques, one way or the other. And I talked to you about handling preclears, here and there throughout these lectures.

PC: Um-hm.

But we built up the body of theory before I started to talk about Standard Operating Procedure. And then I started to talk about Standard Operating Procedure and gave you Standard Operating Procedure and outlined Steps One, Two, Three, Four pretty well. And I outlined earlier Step. No. Five.

LRH: Got ‘em?

And I brought you now to a point where, theoretically, you could operate simply by using this information. And so it has not been true that these lectures were completely disorganized until this minute. And now it happens to be true.

PC: Yeah.

It happens to he completely true from here on. We haven’t, really, any more data to tell you. Somewhere in the bulk of these last many hours of information, practically every datum that interrelates and makes up the package which you need in order to understand and evaluate the human mind has been present, somewhere or other. And in your hands is SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008 and this gives a very rough, brief summary. And the only thing new about it is the technique – the exact technique known as Spacation. And the exact technique known as Balancing. And we’ve given you Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five instead of Issue Three, as given in the book. And these techniques are outlined on mimeographed sheets which are in your hands.

LRH: All right. Let’s just start picking ‘em up and cramming ‘em in.

So there’s really… there’s really nothing more to know about the human mind, about the universe, about aesthetics, space opera… past lives, other planets – you can read WHAT TO AUDIT if you want a disentanglement. Whether that’s true or not, whether the material in it is exact or not is beside the point. That material is there not to tell a story, but to help an auditor solve a case. And it’s told from that viewpoint and from that viewpoint it’s accurate.

PC: Hmm.

It uh… is also, by the way, probably to a large degree true. But I can’t tell you exactly to this day exactly how this GE gets himself into such an accuracy in building a carbon-oxygen engine; he becomes fixated on it. Or if the GE is really just a decayed thetan or another breed of cat. Or if there is such a thing as a thetan native to the MEST universe. I know you’re not. No preclear I ever processed was native to the MEST universe – not one.

LRH: What’s the matter?

But it’s very possible that the GE and its ilk are. I don’t know. Don’t have to know either. Otherwise we would have taken large steps to find out.

PC: The first guy in was a cave man – hmm.

And so now that you’re full equipped and need nothing, not even experience, to go on and produce all the results produceable, why, probably I ought to simply go over something that is very technical or uh… uh… show you that really you don’t know after all and that uh… when you do get certain facts memorized you will become an authority and uh… so on. I should do that, but I’m not going to.

LRH: Okay.

The fact of the matter is, is when you haven’t seen any of these techniques in operation, really in operation, beyond those few demonstrations which I have given you in between breaks. And some preclear says so-and-so and so-and-so. I didn’t give you too much of a demonstration when I did that.

PC: Okay.

So I think probably from here on, the best thing that I could do is to show you this stuff in action. And in so demonstrating it to you, give you some feel of how you go about it, because otherwise there might always remain a doubt in your mind about the fact that ‘Hubbard’s doing something else’, and ‘I’m probably not doing it according to Hoyle’ or something. And uh… it might have a different aspect entirely. There is that possibility.

LRH: Got ‘em all?

Now, therefore, the first thing that we ought to do is take a Step One and very briefly tell you how to handle a Step One and then very briefly show you the Operation Step One, on somebody who is a Step One.

PC: Umm-hmm.

And then I ought to tell you a little bit more about Two and about Three and about Four and about Five. And we haven’t got any Sixes. (We’ve got several Eight’s.) Now we’re not going to cover that technique. There’s a special technique for these which we’re still withholding and which we’ll never give up.

LRH: Now, let’s mock up all the enemies you’ve had for the last 74 trillion years.

And uh… therefore Step One is the first thing in order. I want… I want you to understand this. You really do have all the theory and all the applications and the interweavings in the materials which I outlined to you. You really do have these things at this time. Don’t think something new is going to slap you in the face. In other words, you can relax about this.

PC: Umm-hmm.

There’s a lot of things on these tapes that you didn’t hear; that I can guarantee, because that’s always the case.

LRH: Umm-hmm.

But that doesn’t mean the data is not available to you because at the very worst, if you were to move out to – well, let’s really get out in the sticks. I mean, let… let’s… let’s get out – well. I don’t know, I heard that a human being went there once. Let’s go to Wichita uh… on this uh… on this level and… and you… you were sitting out in Wichita and you… you didn’t have these tapes and all of a sudden you were confronted with a preclear and you were told solemnly that this preclear had epiglootis, and you say, „I wonder how you solve epiglootis?“ and you could get to worrying about this. Well, actually you have the methods of solving epiglootis in these handouts and that textbook. Who cares who gave it a name? Who cares? Who cares what the symptoms are? I mean, just frankly that – who cares what the diagnosis is?

PC: That’s not fun.

And besides, it is against the law to diagnose. There are 25 ills that it’s against the law to cure in California. You could go to prison for years for curing a case of arthritis. That’s right – 25 ills – 25 ills; they’re just outside the realm of action. You didn’t know that? There are several states that have those things.

LRH: That’s not fun, huh?

You never want to advertize that you cure anything. You can tell people you theta clear somebody or you can tell people that you will process them, and this is simply to make the able more able. If they happen to have epiglootis… this isn’t just covert hostility; this is the actual truth! If they happen to have epiglootis and the epiglootis doesn’t happen to be there when you finish up what you were trying to do, that’s their hard luck. That’s nobody else’s hard luck. That’s their hard luck. That’s right! You’re not Interested in anything, really, but making the relatively able much more able. You’re interested in that and you’re not interested in epiglootis. You’ve got epiglootis – if you don’t believe it, go out and find a case. And how do you handle it? Step One, Step Two, Step – oh, he’s a Step Two. Good. Goal of the body? None. Goal for the thetan? Operating thetan. That’s… that’s a lot different than an ambulant body that doesn’t have epiglootis. That IS a lot different.

PC: They’re there.

Somebody comes around to you and says, „Now, do you people believe… do you people believe that uh… anybody should be permitted to operate upon the mind? Hmmm-hmmmm?“ – somebody that looks awfully official or somebody who’s trying to get you to make an incautious statement. Because I don’t believe that and you don’t believe that. And the answer which I give them is perfectly true and perfectly straightforward. I tell them, „Nobody who has not been thoroughly educated in the field of the actual human mind has any business whatsoever doing anything with it at all.“ That’s with thoroughness. Unless they REALLY have been educated in it… unless they REALLY KNOW the human mind, they shouldn’t do anything with it. And that’s the stand we’re stuck with. And they’ll come along on the other side, and they’ll say, „But you train anybody.“ That isn’t true. We don’t train anybody.

LRH: They’re there. 360 degrees?

Liability on training at this time is terribly off. I mean, the liability has lightened up enormously because of the techniques themselves. And when we say an auditor is a theta clear, he’s just going to have to gimp along because of our time span and so forth, while we are here. But you’ll find out that there’s no substitute for it, if you’re an auditor. And there isn’t much time that you have to put in on it in order to accomplish it. If you think you really have to put in a lot of time on it, you’re just not operating in the same reality that we should be operating in.

PC: Hmm-hmm.

A Step One can actually be pushed up the line to a theta clear in about six or eight hours – all the way up. And if you are taking longer than that, you are just poking around, and that’s all there is to that. You’re just poking. You’re just wasting time some way or another if you take any longer time than that. And that includes the various exercises comprising Step One.

LRH: Any behind your back?

Now as the cases go on into the deeper steps, it requires more and more time. But how much time is ‘more time’? Well, if you were doing your job well, accurately, and doing Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five, for me to make a precise estimate for each case level would be folly indeed, because it has the two variables: The case itself, which will vary in the length of time in each Step; and the speed with which the auditor’s willing to audit. And these are two variables.

PC: Come to think of it, there was about a slice like a pie that wasn’t… didn’t have anything in it.

But believe me. If you spend more than 50 hours on a Five, you ought to have your head examined because I can kick a Five out by running the dichotomy of Responsibility and No Responsibility – in 50 hours. And I’ve done it. Just all the various ways you can say, „Do you want to be responsible?“… „You don’t want to be responsible“… „The beautiful sadness of being responsible“… „The ugliness of being irresponsible“… „The joy of being irresponsible“… „The joy of being responsible“… „The glee of being insane“… „The horribleness of being insane.“ They just go on like this. Run it, run it, run it, run it, run it, run it, run it.

LRH: Isn’t that true?

The guy will wake up sooner or later and he’ll say, „What? What do you mean… do it in front of my body? I can’t reach way down there!“

PC: Okay, they’re there.

And you say „What’s the matter?“

LRH: They’re there.

„Well, I’m… I’m auditing this stuff up here in the corner of the room.“ And you’ll say, „Now, wait a minute. How’d you get up there?“ „Oh, I’ve been up here for hours, didn’t you know that?“

PC: Incidentally, the emotion hits pretty strong on this. Wowee!

Now that’s the truth of the matter. So, I know that a technique exists which will do in a Five way back on the track. I mean, way back on our developmental track.

LRH: It does, huh? All right. Now let’s take one of ‘em and make him walk away and just keep walking – just one of them – any one of them.

So what’s the next? We can then… then rather safely estimate at a guess that if you spent 50 hours on a Five, you sure would have been loafing along the wayside, because you would have gotten there… you would have gotten there if you had just run dichotomies on Responsibility and all the various ways that can be run – because that could be run a lot of ways, see? You could start adding them up.

PC: Okay.

Oh, yes, yes. I remember something I wanted to talk to you about. I wanted to show you a wheel – a wheel. I’ll give you an hour on that wheel.

LRH: Let him keep walking, and send another one after him.

All right, in other words, the uh… point we’re making here is that you are wasting time, then, if you’re going above 50 hours on a Five, at a guess or an estimate. So how much time does it take for an auditor to get in good shape? How much time does it take for an auditor to get up to operating thetan?

PC: Okay.

Well, let’s say each one of you could afford 100 hours of auditing. That is relatively, maybe, five times as many as you should have if you are being well audited. Let’s put the factor of five in there. And uh… just throw that in there and say it’s 100 hours. Could you afford to spend 100 hours as an auditor on the couch? Boy, I’m sure afraid you could. Well, you could dig up 100 hours some place. You could put in three nights a week at a couple of hours a session. Well, what would happen if you put in three nights a week at two hours a session? That adds up to six hours a week, doesn’t it? How long does that take to get to 100 hours? 6 and 2/3, is that right? Six and two thirds weeks – sixteen. I have to figure in arithmetic. I have an awful time with MEST arithmetic – just horrible, just terrible. Sixteen weeks. Okay? That’s very interesting. I have to completely change reality to get a MEST arithmetical thing.

LRH: …and another one, and send him after him.

You see, MEST arithmetic doesn’t happen to be real – I mean, happen to be actual. It’s real. Fascinating.

PC: Okay.

You know if you put up a whole flock of apples, if you put up 100 apples and then you divide the apples by ten apples, you theoretically get ten piles of ten apples, don’t you? Pile 100 apples and divide it by ten and you get ten apples. You can’t do that. Why, you… my whole beingness revolts against saying, „Ten into 100 apples gives you ten.“ Boy, that’s really down tone scale! It’s really diggin’ it!

LRH: Now let’s just get ‘em departing.

All right, regardless of that. Let’s take a look, then, at how many amours of auditing you as an auditor oughta have. If you were to put in, let’s say theoretically that figure was 16, if you were to put in 16 weeks ~t a couple hours a night, three nights a week, it… it… it wouldn’t cost you a great deal of time. If you were interchanging this auditing with another auditor who was about your level of action, why you ought to be up there at operating thetan if you audited and co-audited with him, you would be putting in, then, 12 hours per week of auditing! You auditing six and being audited six.

PC: Okay.

And now the best way to do this, however, is to have a triangular team – not to have a two-team. Because they just ‘flow’ at one another. Uh… let’s have three and let’s have point A audit point B audits point C audits point A, and then their cases are all disrelated. And that… that’s easily a much more workable arrangement.

LRH: Get ‘em all shoving off.

But we go on from that and we find out, then, that you’re stable enough so that you shouldn’t require, after that, vast quantities of auditing. You can go in and tackle a preclear and you have your own energy level up to a point where you wouldn’t have to apply yourself to swamping yourself up. In other words, you’re not doing the trick of crawling up three inches and failing back two, and so on. Maybe you are during those 16 weeks.

PC: Umm-hmm.

And let’s just kind of lay that down and wonder if we could spend that much time on a case – that’s yourself. Now the lower a person goes on the steps, the less time he’ll spend on his own case, until he starts to get down to the bottom and then he’ll run himself automatically – that’s automaticity – that’s final level.

LRH: Did you get rid of ‘em all? Good. Did you get rid of ‘em all?

Well all right. Let’s suppose now you’re out in the sticks – I… I… I… hope none of you have to go that deep into the mire and jungle as that unmentionable place I just mentioned. But let’s say you… let’s say you get to Bingamton, New York, and the nearest auditor who is a professional auditor is Bungumton, Vermont. Well, you can’t audit by mail very well. Now auditors will ask you this question, and so I’ll answer it for you: Can you audit yourself up to theta clear? Well, I don’t know how long it would take you. I… I really don’t know how long it would take you. And I don’t know how fouled up you would get or how flat you’d spin or anything, but it could be done with just using Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five.

PC: Yeah. Boy, what a pleasant feeling! Okay.

You’ll find yourself lower on the tone scale when you’re self- auditing… I mean lower on the tone scale of steps, than another auditor would find you, because you’ve got to set up a circuit to audit a circuit and then audit both of those as a thetan and do some other complicated things in order to do this. But if you were to sit down and do this, theoretically you could then, attain theta clear in God knows how many hours – I don’t know. Two hundred? Five hundred hours of self-auditing. Because the liability of self-auditing has disappeared. You start self-auditing, you’re starting to agree with the MEST universe like mad, and you’ll get mixed up in flows. And the second you get mixed up in flows, you can go on forever, and I do not believe it is is possible for a person… I have no evidence – no evidence of any character that tells me that it is possible for an auditor to self-audit himself or for an individual to self-audit or self-process himself up scale – no evidence to this effect – on old techniques. On techniques which existed up to three months ago. No evidence.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s mock ‘em all up again in the worst guises, their worst natures. 360 degrees of ‘em, all the enemies you’ve had for… 360 degree sphere around you. All the enemies you’ve had for 74 trillion years.

But I had every evidence to believe that one who audited himself on these flows and techniques of various conditions and running engrams – particularly running engrams – would become slightly relieved about the area around him, but his compulsion to audit himself would increase and increase and increase and finally go out of… almost out of control. And I have lots of evidence in that direction that that took place and no evidence that anything took place beneficially beyond deintensification of the effect of the environment upon the individual, with the consequence that if it were maintained too long, a person would sort of fix himself on that rat race on and on and on and on.

PC: Okay.

And if you find somebody auditing himself on old techniques, audit him on new techniques and he will stop auditing himself. That’s all the solution we have about self-auditing, and that’s because it’s all we need. A person stops self-auditing when you run Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five on him. That’s… that’s all there is to that. We won’t care if he’s self-auditing; we’re not even vaguely interested whether he is or not. It’s where we find him on the steps and there… where we spring him and what we do for him. That’s all.

LRH: All right. You got ‘em now?

So, our answer, then, on anything up to three months ago – and as far as you’re concerned, up to these lectures because none of this material was at large – that self-auditing was impossible, underscore, exclamation point. Unless you just took SELF ANALYSIS, old American edition, and used it or did HANDBOOK FOR PRECLEARS, self, and did it routine and then you could get an improvement because it’s relatively light auditing – it’s locks and so forth. I don’t think you could even keep that up too long all by yourself without any… this and that. I don’t think you could keep that up 200 hours without uh… getting into the other rat race. You start to obey flows, or something of the sort. It would be very bad.

PC: Umm-hmm.

All right, then what’s the answer to this then? Why are we all of a sudden able to say it may be possible for a person to audit himself? Well, that’s because Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five opposes and disagrees with flows. So you don’t start up the horrors of obeying energy and flows. And it’s theoretically and untestedly possible to audit oneself to operating thetan – theoretically possible. Those tests which I have seen so far were in the direction of alleviating one’s condition, and improving one’s general health and ability. Doing mock-ups all by itself, by oneself, is tremendously improving.

LRH: Turn ‘em purple.

If a fellow were to have an automobile accident and find himself sitting there with his… all over with bruises and he were to audit out the engram of the automobile accident, he might get away with it – he MIGHT. If he were to audit the flows and effort of the automobile on himself, my evidence is very straight that he would start himself down and would be a little worse off than otherwise. If he audited it just as an engram, you see – different. But I mean, if he started using high-powered stuff like 8-80… oohh! Not good. He’d chop into that one and then he’d go into an earlier one and he’d find a past death and he’d be handling energy as itself and the flows would start up and he’s in a weakened condition. But he could sit there and do mock-ups for maybe as little as 10 or 15 minutes and find himself in a remarkably improved condition and probably with the engram flipped out. Just do mock-ups.

PC: Okay.

Or, he could do a Spacation – just sit down and do a Spacation. Just bang-bang-bang – not pay any attention to the automobile accident. Find a spot; exaggerate its motion and minimize its motion until it’s suddenly stopped. Hold it. Then, handle it; hold it; do two-dimensional space. Then take the two-dimensional space and make it resistive, unresistive. Get that solid and go right straight on through doing the rest of the exercises contained in Spacation. If he just did those by rote: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six – did a Spacation, he probably wouldn’t have an automobile engram sitting on top of him. He probably would be in most remarkably good condition.

LRH: Turn them blue.

Or if he just did a mock-up series and he just says uh, „All right, now let’s see, uh… That was a Packard car. All right, let’s take a Packard car and let’s paint it red and put dolls in it and run it down an incline, or have it run up this other hill.“

PC: Okay.

The first time he’d start this… and now let’s put the mock-up behind him; and now let’s turn the car green. Now let’s turn it around and make it run wrong way to up the hill. Now let’s put it down under the feet. Now let’s have another car come down the other incline and – let’s see – have these two cars start to approach each other and then turn off and go the other way. Now let’s have them start to approach each other and crash. Anyway he wanted to put this together as mock-ups, as long as he was adequately handling cars, he would clip the engram, the trap being that he could trap himself into suddenly getting terribly interested in agreeing with the MEST universe. And that’s the only liability of self-auditing. The only liability of self-auditing is that the pressure of the flows and somatics cause one to do what one automaticity starts to do, and that’s to agree with the MEST universe. And one will be running flows when he ought to be running mock-ups. And that is considerably difficult for a person to overcome. But if he overcomes that, there is no reason why he couldn’t audit himself right straight up the line to an operating thetan, really.

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

God knows how long it would take him, how many times he would falter, how many mistakes he would make, how many times he would get upset and feel like he was about to die as a result of not having finished a session. All of those things regardless, we have a possibility sitting there.

PC: Okay.

All right, now. Let’s take another one: He’s in an automobile accident, he’s sitting alongside the roadside and they’re waiting for the ambulance or something of the sort. And what’s he start to do? He starts to balance flows – Give and Take Processing on automobiles. He takes all the automobiles he ever owned or ever had and stacks ‘em in himself and makes them run away from him. Or he parks them around all the way outside of him and makes them run into him. Oh, he’d feel horrible doing that for a very short time. Theoretically, he would be out of the engram in a very short space of time. And this applies not just to an assist, it applies also to what an auditor ought to do for a preclear. And it applies also to the proper method of uh… going up the line, because it says ‘Don’t let your preclear agree with the MEST universe’. It says, ‘Keep him disagreeing’.

LRH: Turn ‘em green.

All right, now… now here’s… here’s little tricks that a person can use. A person starts… he’s thinking obsessively. He starts thinking obsessively on something, see? And he’s thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking – what he’s going to say to this, what he’s going to do to that, where’s he going to go? What’s he going to do? What…? Thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking… running the whole thing off before something or other occurs and… Oh, no! How does he cure that? He makes himself reduce it and increase it, and reduce it and increase it, and stop it and start it and stop it. He puts it on somebody’s hat and flits it. That’s right, and he won’t think obsessively after that. How do you handle that on a preclear?

PC: Okay.

A preclear comes in and says, „I get these gruesome ideas of this… these horrible idols and they keep coming in and their jaws clank and they’re about to eat me all up, and besides I’m covered with grasshoppers all the time!“

LRH: Make ‘em shift first to one foot, and then the other foot.

Would you go ahead and handle idols and grasshoppers? That’s hallucination. You’re not interested in hallucination. You’re interested in mock-ups. What would you do about this? He’s thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking – and he can’t stop. He’s seeing, seeing, seeing, seeing – and he can’t stop. You just don’t pick up an idol and have him run around.

PC: Okay. Sounds like a bunch of soldiers marking time.

You increase doing what he’s doing – you want a fast one? This is the fast way to do it: You increase him doing that, and you make him have more and more idols, and more and more horrible bugs crawling on him, and get ‘em bigger and bigger, and then turn ‘em different colors and get ‘em bigger and bigger and more and more of ‘em. And then you have just a few less. Now you have more and more of ‘em; now a few less, now a few less; now more and more and more; now a few…

LRH: Oh yeah? Good. Now make ‘em about face and be on their way.

He says, „To hell with it!“ I mean, it’s that fast.

PC: Okay.

So when I say don’t treat this just as a mock-up – just don’t run mock-ups on these things he’s talking about, there’s a specific way to do it. Do it by a cycle of action. Yes, use the idols and use the grasshoppers if you want to. Turn them a different color. Tie bows on ‘em. Turn ‘em around. Ship them the other way. Put ‘em in coffins. Turn ‘em into dead men. Put ‘em behind his back and so forth. If you want to, put them behind his back – okay.

LRH: They on their way?

But there’s this one, is „Just think about ‘em. Now think HARD about ‘em. Now think worse and worse and worse and worse about ‘em. Now think just a little bit less. Now think much more. Now think a little bit ‘less. Now think a little bit less. Now… now let’s think REAL HARD about them.“ He says, „To hell with it!“ It is actually faster when handling an obsession.

PC: Yeah.

Now the fellow finds himself unable to think about something. He just can’t BEAR to think about it. Just make him ‘Can’t bear’ harder. „Well, let’s not think about this“ you say. „Let’s really shut this thing down.“

LRH: Good. Mock ‘em all up again.

The guy can’t remember something. The MEST universe runs in reverse. So you say to him, „Well, let’s shut this down and let’s not… now let’s not… let’s put on all the force you can to thinking about not thinking about keys“ – the guy habitually forgets keys. All right, „Let’s not think about keys. Now, let’s not think about them a little harder. Now let’s not think about them a little less. Now let’s keep those keys away a little harder. Now let’s keep ‘em away a little less.“

PC: Okay.

All of a sudden he’ll say, „Wait a minute. I’ve got these keys flying past my ears here like mad. What am I going to do with all these keys?“

LRH: Now, make one of ‘em walk forward toward you, and cram him into the body.

And you say, „Well, all right. Make ‘em flow faster. Now slow it down. Take one key out every once in a while as they go by. You got that? Oh, they’ve slowed down? You say they’ve quit? All right, now what else is worrying you?“

PC: Okay.

I mean, it’s really a very fast way to do it on a cycle of action. This is also the way you handle thought. The guy comes in and he says, „I think all the time about…“ something. That’s worrying him. He has this piano music going through his head all the time. He has the ringing in his ear all the time. He has something or other all the time. Well, you can do mock-ups and train him around, particularly if you want to clip something else off his case. You figure out, well there’s probably a lot on this case. You could do something else and ignore what he’s talking about for a while. And then, to really impress him, leave it till last, when you do something for him. And then you’ll get a lot of other things off the case that should be gotten off the case that didn’t have anything to do with what he’s talking about.

LRH: Another one.

So, what do we do? We make him think faster and faster and then think slower and slower and then think faster and faster and faster, and then a little bit slower, and then a little bit faster and faster and then a little bit slower – and then all of a sudden, stop it. He’s trying to finish a cycle of action. You have.; in any organism, in any action in the MEST universe, the most persistent and constant effort is to complete a cycle of action. You can think about these things in this line. I… I might not have mentioned it too much in this frame of reference, but I know I mentioned it. I was talking about cycles of action. You think about this in this framework, that anything the preclear can’t do is stopped on a cycle of action that is close to the end of Stop.

PC: Okay.

I’ll show you this: Here’s a cycle of action he can’t do. And this is, of course, Start for any cycle, Change for any cycle, Stop for any cycle. All right, he can’t do. Where’s that going to be located? He can’t do! So it’s a cinch that he, at one time, has tried to do, because what he’s saying when he says, „I can’t do so-and-so,“ he’s telling you immediately, „I’m trying to do so-and-so,“ because he wouldn’t be interested in a ‘can’t’ unless he was trying to do – you understand that? If he comes around and he’s worried about… he runs this buzz-saw all the time and he can’t bring himself to reach for the switch and turn it off. He’s trying to reach for the switch and turn something off. And somewhere on the time track, somewhere, Lord knows where in the past or anything like that, where there’s an incident where he didn’t reach the switch. And he finds himself now with… he can’t reach the switch. He’s trying to figure out a cycle of action.

LRH: Good. Now let’s just keep ‘em all coming on in, and stuff ‘em all into the body.

The runner who is trying to win obsessively – he must run races, he must win – is running a cycle of action on some race where he didn’t get to finish the race, that’s all. Simple, huh?

PC: Okay.

So, he can’t do something, means he’s trying. And so he’s put over here somewhere on this level of action. And he could be right here before Stop, or he could be actually over here trying to Start. But, is he at the beginning of the cycle? No, he’s not. He’s already started. And you could call the history of any organism, or the history of any thought, or the history of any action the effort or ambition or intention to complete a cycle of action. Everything’s trying to complete a cycle ‘of action and when it becomes aberrated they’re hung up on some point in the cycle of action, and that cycle of action, of course, is…

LRH: Now let’s rig ‘em all up again.

The thought just occurs to me, there’s so many of these cycles of action, there must be a common denominator we don’t even know about. There must be some common denominator cycle of action.

PC: Okay.

Anyway, uh… I just thought of it, uh… the point is that he’s trying and so you’re going to pick him up someplace and you don’t care where he is on that cycle of action. You just run a cycle of action and he’ll come off of it. You just start running cycles of action; you increase and decrease and start and stop and you’ll pick him up anyplace he is on any cycle of action.

LRH: How’s that pie slice?

So just by increasing and decreasing, starting and stopping anything, this guy will complete, eventually, all the cycles of action he has ever tried to engage upon in the MEST universe.

PC: Oh – hmm.

Now the trick of the MEST universe is that it won’t let anybody finish a cycle of action, because its vectors are 180 degrees in reverse. So, what’s basically wrong with the case is that he can’t finish a cycle of action and he’s trying to finish a cycle of action. That’s about all there is to it – simple, huh?

LRH: Hmm?

So, you just keep that one in mind in treating minor things. This is a good showmanship technique. Very good showmanship – put it on a postulate level.

PC: It comes and goes.

The guy says, „You know, I think about the future all the time and I kind of see that the future is…“ and so on. You… you ask him, „Do you see the future?“ „Yeah.“ „Well, where do you see the future?“

LRH: Well, put… put that particularly full of guys, enemies with weapons in their hands.

„Well, as a matter of fact, it’s just ahead of my nose. Well, I don’t know,“ he says, „that’s impossible, isn’t it? But it is. As a matter of fact, when I see the future, I’m looking just ahead of my nose.“ And he says, „The future is definitely black and bleak and terrible and it’s not under my control, even vaguely.“

PC: Yeah, most of them have got weapons in their hands as it is.

The effort to ‘will have’… ‘I hope to have’… ‘I’m going to have’ has been disappointed sufficient times so he fills in an area and calls it ‘the future’, and of course it gets solid because his ambition is to have OBJECTS in the future. So he keeps adding energy into the future in hopes of getting energy in the future, until the future becomes a solid object or a mass of energy or a ridge somewhere in the vicinity of his head. This is just showmanship techniques; you’d run into these various things.

LRH: Yeah, I know. But let’s put those guys in that pie slice.

And what do you do about this? Well, you turn it blue, of course. And then you turn it red, and then you turn it green and then you turn it orange and then you turn it yellow, and then you make it little bit longer. You’re just handling a ridge, see? All right, now make it a little bit shorter, and then you make it a little bit redder. and you say, „Where did you say that was, in the beginning of your nose? Well, let’s shift it up just there so you can get a better look at it there. Let’s get it up just above the level of the eyes. That’s good. Now turn it redder; now turn it bluer, now turn… By the way, just to make sure we get both ends of this, let’s put it around to the back of a head and uh… fix it up. Okay, you got it there now? All right, we… now we can run it better there. Now, make it get redder, now darker, now make it sort of jumpy like that. Now make it go smooth, like that. Oh, you can do that? That’s fine. Well, now get it down here in your hand, so you can watch it a little bit better. You got it there? All right. Now let’s make… What are you doing with your future in your hand?“ That’s… that’s all.

PC: Okay, okay.

Now what do you do with him? You just change his position on the cycle of action grossly. One by one you can knock out and let him finish any cycle of action there is on the track. But of course, the finish of every cycle of action on the track is nonexistence on this track. So what are you trying to do? The preclear goes ‘poof!’ That’s right.

LRH: Now make ‘em look real mean.

Well, so, when you’re confronted with a terrible problem, you’ve always got this one to fall back on. If you can’t think of anything else, as I told you much earlier, get the effort to have it and the effort not to have it, and get the effort to have it and the effort not to have it, and he has half the bellyache he had before.

PC: Okay.

Or, you say, „All right, now, get that bellyache. Well, there’s no reason for you to stand up so close to it. Mock-up something out there and get its bellyache.“ If he can’t do that, „Well, just put where it’s bellyache would be and let’s…“ I mean, you’re already on your way. He’s put that bellyache out here in front of him.

LRH: Turn ‘em purple with rage.

If you just run it out here a little while, no matter how bad that bellyache is, it is eventually going to be out there. And it’s going to be out there, it’s going to be over here some place and he’s going to put his stomachache up here. And actually a fellow will sit there and run a stomachache down below his feet and behind his head and… and so forth.

PC: Okay.

And you don’t have to ask him, as I asked that pilot that night – an awful shock! „What are you doing with an earring on top of your head?“ I mean, that’s just too good to miss. That’s just randomity for my sake. That has nothing to do with processing. As a matter of fact, it injures the process just a little bit. But it’s fun. It didn’t do him any harm.

LRH: Now make ‘em look very sly.

Uh… so, wherever he is on this cycle of action, he’s still trying.

PC: Okay.

Now of course, if he’s got to, what’s got to? If he can’t do… all right, he’s got to. He’s trying. This… this simply means he can’t, obviously. So we have Start, for any; Change, for any; Stop, for any. That’s ‘for any’ – ‘any’ here is Cycle, of course. He’s got to and he can’t.

LRH: Make ‘em all look very sly.

Well, what’s the score here? Compulsion – compulsion. He has a cycle of action operating on him, and this is a circuit really – this is a compulsive circuit working – and he’s got a cycle of action operating on him which is trying to start him. He’s over here a little bit along the way on Start. And if he’s got to go into action, he’s on a compulsive cycle of action, but the truth of the matter is that he’s more likely to be with this one right here; he’s much more likely to be because it’s closer to apathy, you see. He’s much more likely to be at position ‘A’ here than down in this other cycle, position ‘B’ here – just more likely to be, not necessarily is.

PC: Yeah, okay.

‘He’s got to’ means an impulse in an effort to increase. But at the same time, ‘he’s got to’ can be over here. Why is that? Because of flows run both ways! So compulsion is the same as an inhibition as far as your handling is concerned on a cycle of action. You don’t care, then, where the cycle of action is. All you’ve got to do is increase and decrease whatever he’s trying to do, change what he’s trying to do, stop what he’s trying to do, start what he’s trying to do, or increase, decrease, change, stop and start what he can’t do.

LRH: All right. Get ‘em walking forward toward you now, the whole lot of ‘em.

So, enforcement and, up here, inhibition – same breed of cat. Well, where does this apply on what case on what tone scale? I showed you the… the small cycle inside the big cycle, didn’t I? So we could have this thing operating anyplace on the tone scale for any action, because actually the theory of a cycle of action is the theory that if you start, stop, increase, decrease anything that’s occurring or can’t occur – let’s make it ‘can’t occur’ more. Let’s really stop it. He’s over here at ‘A’ – something like that – flagrantly at ‘A’. He’s stopped – just before he got to the real stuff. He never finished it.

PC: Okay.

Where will you find the guy parked on the whole track? You’ll quite normally find him deceased at the end of a spiral, so grandly and with such wild abandon, deceased that he couldn’t finish the spiral. Many deaths can occupy one spiral, you see? One piece of livingness – but all of a sudden he was going to live a spiral this time that was maybe as much as two hundred, three hundred thousand years ago. Nobody determined this. It was just his potentiality as you see in the ratio of energy use… change. He was going to run this spiral that long and he lived for eight thousand years and then one day ran into the most horrendous ‘poof’ that ever puffed, and it stopped the spiral. Where will you find him? RIGHT THERE. You’ll find him at point ‘E’. He’s still trying to finish a spiral of action which… the havingness of which marks it on an E-Meter as eight million years ago. He stopped on a cycle.

LRH: Crowd them into the body.

So when you say a person is stuck on a time track, he is stuck on a cycle of action, and a cycle of action goes from… from no space to all object. So of course he’s stuck on the track. And when we say ‘stuck on the track’ that means he’s… he’s got too much energy in one lump about something that he has nothing further to do with, and that energy may be representing something, which is symbolism, or it may be the actual energy he was working with at the time. And there he is on the track, in that fashion.

PC: Okay.

Okay. What’s stuck on the time track then? Now you can get this – the effort to have it and not to have it. That’s peculiarly workable. Or you can spring somebody with just Responsibility or No Responsibility. But this is a better way to do it.

LRH: Got ‘em? Pack ‘em down tight. You got ‘em all?

If you have to address the actual injury, if this automaticity is such that he thinks he’s doing mock-ups and he isn’t, you’ll probably go along for quite some time with mock-ups – until all of a sudden you ran Into this thing called a ‘cycle of action’ in processing. And you increase, decrease, change, start, stop – anything that he can’t do, make him ‘can’t-er’, and he can do, make him ‘can-er’; that is being done to him, make it ‘do-able’ harder. In other words, overplay it, get it up that increase curve. But ‘can’t’ is way over, usually, past change. So to get it upscale, you just change it. Got it?

PC: Yeah.

Well, that’s the length and breadth of it. Now I’m just giving you that as a… as a note here, relatively interjected. And now I’m going to ask for Step One. As I say, Step One consists of telling somebody to be two feet back of their head, and then getting them – a few mock-ups until they’re fairly well oriented and they can more or less perceive where they are and what they’re doing with a little certainty. And then you get them to lift pieces of the body and nothing to that.

LRH: Pack ‘em down real tight. Now let’s get that first crew, uh… the last crew of friends that were packed in there and let’s have them leave.

And when all of a sudden they say, „What do you know? I can handle this body from outside!“ That’s all you’re interested in convincing them.

PC: The last crew of friends?

Okay, who’s the One? Are you the One? Have you ever been out?

LRH: Yeah, we packed a bunch of friends down there.

Voice: I’ve been out…

PC: I thought we sent ‘em out? Okay, I’ll mock ‘em up packed in and send ‘em out.

LRH: But?

LRH: All right. You thought we got all those friends sent out?

Voice: But the visio is… I wouldn’t say I can pick out objects, but I certainly have pretty decent mock-ups.

PC: Yeah, I thought we did – yeah. Okay.

Voice:… at one point – I was being audited and I was told to put the mock-up behind my head and I had to pop in to find out where the head was.

LRH: Let’s send the whole crew of ‘em out.

LRH: Maybe we’ll catch you later on this cycle. Who’s got fair visio outside? Have you got fair? Who’s got pretty good visio outside? Let’s really boot somebody up the tone scale. Who’s got good visio outside? Who would say he had pretty fair visio? What’s the matter? Somebody scared? You mean Washburn?

PC: Umm-hmm.

Voice: Try me.

LRH: Now let’s send another wave of ‘em out.

LRH: Hmm?

PC: Okay.

Voice: Try me.

LRH: How far are they going?

LRH: All right, all right. All right.

PC: Oh, about five miles so far. They keep on going.

Okay, you want to uh… I’m going to move this machine down and put it in front of the pc.

LRH: All right. Let’s take about three more waves of ‘em, good friends. Get the nostalgia of their leaving – how sad they feel at leaving.

Okay. Sit down. Sit down. Make yourself comfortable there. You’ll notice I’m not doing an assessment again. Now the reason I’m not doing assessment is just pure cussedness on my part because this is just a demonstration.

PC. Umm-hmm.

Actually, I know this man’s psychometry uh… his electrometry. Uh… mind if I mention it?

LRH: You got it?

Voice: No, go ahead.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: No? All right. This is really too good. I ought to read this to you later. I could actually send him out of the room and tell you what you will find on the machine, and then afterwards… How could I do this? Well, I’ll tell you: It’s just gauging physiology, that’s all. It’s just looking at the physiology of the human being.

LRH: Get them all gone.

But that isn’t fair to say that the physiology of the human being is gaugeable and that that is the test, because the truth of the matter is the engram he is sitting in, is sitting right straight in front of his face and it’s about as visible as it gets. All you have to do is shift wave length, get his wave length, and take a look at it. Just walk in around behind it, take a look at this motion picture that he won’t let finish. He’s stuck at scene two. There’s one entity on the thing which is in pawn. Got a body in pawn, and it interferes with you as a circuit.

PC: Yup.

Did you ever have any…? What do you… how do you… how do you feel about arrests?

LRH: All right. Mock up another s… full sphere of enemies.

PC: About what kind of arrest?

PC: Okay.

LRH: Being arrested?

LRH: Make them take one step toward you.

PC: Oh, I don’t like it!

PC: Okay.

LRH: You don’t like it.

LRH: One step back.

LRH: You’ve got lots of company? Now do you ever have the feeling of… of uh… has anybody ever tried to force food on you? Tell you you had to eat? How do you feel about that – have to eat?

PC: Okay.

PC: I think that – yes.

LRH: Bring ‘em in.

LRH: You feel bad about that?

PC: Okay.

PC: No – I think I had food forced on me at one time or another.

LRH: Pack ‘em down.

LRH: You got that feeling?

PC: Uh-huh.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Got them?

LRH: What kind of feeling does it make – do you feel?

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Well, full…

LRH: Okay. Now that you’ve got all those enemies there – now that you’ve got all those enemies there, let’s mock up all the way around you all the parents you have had on the whole track.

LRH: Full.

PC: Yeah – okay.

PC: Hm…

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

LRH: Awful full.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Hm…

LRH: Turn ‘em blue.

LRH: Have you ever had sort of a gritty feeling in the stomach, or kind of whitish in the area of the stomach while very, very badly stuffed?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Have ‘em turn around and walk away.

LRH: Hmm?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: They all walkin’? Keep ‘em going, and send after them the last group of enemies.

LRH: Did you ever have that feeling?

PC: Umm-hmm.

That’s the way they fed them at Arslycus and that’s the way they feed one of the particular entities who are sometimes kept in pawn. This is really wild stuff. You don’t have to know anything about this. It is the most curious thing, though, in the world. And that has a physiological aspect and if in restim will actually change form and if knocked OUT of restimulation will completely change a person’s build.

LRH: The next to the last group of enemies.

PC: I got some… One time I ran… and I felt… thought as if I had something hanging right here ar the waist. It was, say, about that big, and I thought that was gotten rid of.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, it is, it is, they just never changed this particular physiology. Now which side of your body do you feel most alive?

LRH: Make ‘em turn purple as they’re leaving.

LRH: All right, I’ll ask you another question, if you didn’t decide that in a hurry: Uh… how about the middle of your body? Does the middle of your body feel a little more alive than some other part of your body?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah. LRH: Yeah.

LRH: All right, just get rid of the rest of the groups of enemies, just have them keep on walking out.

(to class) Because that’s where that entity is sent to the center of the body. There’s a center to the body entity. And forcing a child to eat – you’d think might make it thin – will very often kick in one of these old, old, old past deaths.

PC: Okay.

(to pc) Mock up a body lying on a wooden… on a wooden board.

LRH: Got ‘em all gone?

PC: Yeah.

PC: All gone.

LRH: We might just as well finish this thing off. Mock up this body on this wooden board. Got it?

LRH: All right. You’ve got ‘em all gone?

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Put it behind your head.

LRH: Real good. All right. Let’s mock up a whole bunch of houses all the way around you – all sorts and descriptions. We want every house in the last 74 trillion years. We want ‘em all.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Above your head.

LRH: Got ‘em all gone?

PC: Yeah.

PC: I’ve got them all here.

LRH: To your right.

LRH: Got them all…

PC: Yeah.

PC: All here.

LRH: To your left.

LRH: All here? All right, send ‘em away.

PC: Yeah.

PC: I’m having a little trouble pushing things away from behind me.

LRH: Below your feet.

LRH: Oh, yeah?

PC: Yeah.

PC: They go away in front pretty easy but behind me…

LRH: Turn it blue.

LRH: Well mock up a wave… mock up about six more for every one behind you.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Scrunch it into a football.

LRH: Is that easier?

PC: Okay.

PC: Shall I send them out?

LRH: Take a great big bicycle pump and pump up its stomach – great big bicycle pump and pump up its stomach.

LRH: Umm-hmm.

PC: It exploded.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Huh?

LRH: Turn ‘em blue back there.

PC: It exploded.

PC: Okay.

LRH: The stomach exploded?

LRH: Turn ‘em orange.

PC: No. The football.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, the football. Oh, I beg your pardon. I was way ahead of you on the mock-ups. All right – exploded, huh? PC: Yeah.

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

LRH: All right, let’s put that right back where it was, and put that football back there again. PC: Yeah.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: And this time, no matter how much air is pumped into it and no matter the terrific strain that comes onto it, just pump it up.

LRH: Turn ‘em all yellow, 360 degrees as they’re departing.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got it pumped up real good? Now let’s take a needle and not let it break but make it feel like it’s going to. Let’s jab it with little pins and not let it break. How does that make you feel?

LRH: All right. How far are they away from you?

PC: Hmm, it makes my teeth chatter.

PC: Oh, a mile or so around the sides and in front. Not so far away in back.

LRH: Yeah? That’s the way they treat that particular body in pawn – fascinating.

LRH: Not so far away? Put about 20 more back of you. What happened?

(to class) You can probably have more fun monkeying around with this stuff, particularly because in a mock-up, it’s no liability.

PC: I don’t know… (unintelligible)

(to pc) Now shove that body out and put that… shove that football out and put teeth in it.

LRH: Huh?

PC: Yeah.

PC: I don’t know? Oh, on the mock-up?

LRH: Got the teeth in it?

LRH: No. No. What… what happened to you?

PC: Yeah.

PC: I don’t know. I just got a muscle jerk.

LRH: Got them real good?

(to class) You want to watch for these. Every once in a while a line will snap or something of the sort. We finally hit… as we go down this sequence, we only handle those things long enough until we hit one that’s a tiny bit difficult.

PC: Yeah.

(to PC) All right, let’s put about 80 more behind you.

LRH: Now make ‘em chatter. Can you make ‘em chatter?

(to class) Naturally homes would always appear at the back. That would be the stuck – walking away down the road.

PC: I get much motion in there and just barely get them to…

PC: I can get the sensation of me going away from them, but them going away from me? No.

LRH: Won’t stop, huh? Well, get a bunch of teeth going around and around in an orbit. Got that?

LRH: Can’t get that, huh? Well all right. Put up about… put 360 degrees worth of these houses, all the houses, all the dwellings – everything that you’ve lived in for 74 trillion years. Now: let’s put them all up here.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Real good. Okay. You got that real good? Does this make you feel unhappy?

LRH: Got them all?

PC: I don’t notice about being unhappy.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Well, put some unhappiness on the mock-up. Make the mock-up feel unhappy. Now put it up your head… above your head and make it feel cautious.

LRH: All right. Let’s take all those in front…

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now put it below you and have this football suddenly develop this and get up and just bat its way straight through a wall. PC: Yeah.

LRH: …and stuff them into the body.

LRH: Make you feel good?

PC.: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Got ‘em all? Just stuff ‘em in.

LRH: All right, let’s bat it through a second wall.

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now let’s take those that are behind you and stuff them in.

LRH: Now mock up a couple of ghosts who are guarding it.

PC: Umm – okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: What’s happening?

LRH: Strangle ‘em.

PC: The behind ones didn’t want to move, but they went in.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: They went in. Okay. Now let’s mock up 360 degrees. Let’s mock ‘em all up again. Let’s get… recreate them. Let’s don’t get the other ones. Re-create ‘em now… 360 degrees.

LRH: Throw ‘em away. Put the mock-up above your head. In front of you. Blow it up.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Get ‘em behind you real thick. There are lots of ‘em.

LRH: Step two feet back of your head… be two feet back of your head. How was that?

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Let’s turn all of these red.

LRH: You there?

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All of ‘em blue.

LRH: Okay, now let’s mock up this room as being full of goats right from two feet back of your head.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Turn ‘em all white.

LRH: Now let’s take a… a great big squirt gun…

PC: Incidentally, these mock-ups don’t have much reality. There’s uh…

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Hmm.

LRH: … and shoot each goat.

PC: …just the uh… occasional outline of the house.

PC: Where do you want to start?

LRH: Ridge. Okay, that’s all right. That’s all we want.

LRH: Huh?

PC: But I know confounded well they’re there.

PC: Where do you want to start?

LRH: All right, let’s just pick up those that you see and stuff ‘em into the body. Those that you see, and stuff them in.

LRH: Oh, it doesn’t matter. Just go around the room with this squirt gun and shoot all the goats.

PC: You mean the ones I see individually?

PC: Okay.

LRH: Yeah. And the outlines. Making it?

LRH: Now make the blue goats develop halos and have them ascend to heaven. They all get there?

PC: They’re pretty good.

PC: Yeah. LRH: Just take a look at the room.

LRH: Well, create… for every one there, create two more.

PC: Yeah, they’re all there. There’s nothing here now.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Are you two feet behind your head?

LRH: Turn ‘em all red and snap ‘em into the body.

PC: Yeah.

PC: I can snap ‘em in in a mass but I can’t do it individually.

LRH: All right. Let’s take a look at the room. How does the room look. Shut your eyes.

LRH: Hmm.

PC: Yeah.

PC: I can kind of run a sweeper on ‘em and pull ‘em in, but to pull them in one by one and see them as individuals coming in, I can’t do it.

LRH: Take a look at the room. Where’s the dark spots? I just want to find the dark spots in this room. Remember I told you about finding out what’s in… lurking in that space?

LRH: Well, just pull them in as a mass.

PC: Uh…

PC: Okay.

LRH: What would you hate to see there? Where’s the dark Spots?

LRH: Put them all out there again. Keep those you’ve got in and mock them all up again.

PC: There’s a dark spot out there and I think one here.

PC: Okay. They seemed to be farther out this time, for some reason or other.

LRH: Oh, there’s one right back there?

LRH: Oh, yeah? No!

PC: Yes.

PC: Yeah. It was a narrower band of them too.

LRH: What would you hate to see right there in that dark spot right behind your shoulder?

LRH: And uh… let’s take them all and turn ‘em red.

PC: Well, I don’t know. I’ve got a hell there.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Huh?

LRH: Turn ‘em blue.

PC: I’d hate to see a hell there.

PC: All right.

LRH: You did? You would?

LRH: Turn ‘em natural color.

PC: Yes.

PC: Hmm.

LRH: Well, put a trident there – a spear.

LRH: What’s the matter?

PC: Yeah. All right. Put some weenies on it.

PC: They all went brown and they shouldn’t, if they’re natural color.

PC: Some what?

LRH: Okay, well, you expected it to happen automatically. Turn ‘em all brown.

LRH: Weenies.

PC: Okay.

PC: Weenies?

LRH: Bring ‘em all in, in a mass.

LRH: Frankfurters.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Mock ‘em all up again.

LRH: Got that?

PC: It keeps getting thinner – farther out.

PC: Yeah. LRH: Build a fire out in front of you and toast the frankfurters. Did you make that?

LRH: Oh, yeah?

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah. It seems like they’re a couple of miles out there.

LRH: Okay, let’s throw that away. What would you hate to see in that area out… out that-a-way?

LRH: Okay. Now let’s have them all snowed on.

PC: Well, I don’t know.

PC: Incidentally, I can see another line of them just beyond. They’re awfully awfully far apart and scattered around.

LRH: What would you hate to see out there? Well, just name something.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Sugar.

PC: Hey, this is interesting.

LRH: Hmm? What?

LRH: Let’s have them… let’s have them all snowed on.

PC: Sugar.

PC: Snowed on. Okay.

LRH: Sugar?

LRH: Let’s have them all rained on now.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right, put some sugar out there. Put a whole bunch of sugar out there. Great big bags of sugar. Got that?

LRH: Let’s have them all blown on.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now mock up a sugar termite.

LRH: And let’s have the sun shining on all of them.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got that?

LRH: Now let’s have it be twilight on all of them.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Hmm? Yeah. Okay.

LRH: Now have this sugar termite dwindle in size to only one inch long.

LRH: What’s the matter?

PC: Yeah.

PC: I’m just fascinated. I can keep seeing houses farther and farther out, more and more lines of them.

LRH: Now let’s have him get in… down in size to a quarter of an inch long.

LRH: Oh, yeah.

PC: Yeah.

PC: I’ve got five of them out there now… four… four lines. They’re awfully… awfully far apart out there. That’s the last bunch.

LRH: Now let’s let him see a mock-up of sugar.

LRH: Yeah. What do you know! We got houses! All right. Why don’t you put twice as many out there?

PC: Incidentally, for what it’s worth, I got a kind of an odd sensation. The darn things are stacked up this way, too – in all directions.

LRH: There couldn’t be any relationship to this and scrambled anchor points. Let’s mock up twice as many.

PC: Twice as… Okay.

LRH: Oh, you didn’t want to do that?

PC: Yeah, I did it.

LRH: Well, let’s mock up twice as many again.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Let’s turn all of those red.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Let’s have night fall on them.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Let’s have dawn break on them.

PC: All right.

LRH: Let’s bring them all in and stuff ‘em into the body.

PC: All the different…

LRH: Everything.

PC:. …lines of them out there?

LRH: Yeah, everything. You like those lines, don’t you?

PC: Yeah, I get a kick out of ‘em.

LRH: Let’s just bring ‘em all in.

PC: I get them in fairly close but they don’t seem to want to pop in.

LRH: Make twice as many.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em all red.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em all blue. What’s the matter?

PC: I’m kinda bewildered, their being all over.

LRH: Hmm?

PC: They’ve lost their… their flat orientation to a high degree, and they’re all over.

LRH: Well! Anchor points. Okay. Now let’s take all of those houses – take a good look at ‘em. Then pick up one house and stuff it in.

PC: All right. They’re coming now.

LRH: Okay.

PC: They’re in.

LRH: Good. Pack them all down tight. Make sure that the anchor points are packed down too, tight.

PC: Make it what? Okay.

LRH: Pack ’em down tighter.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right, let’s mock ‘em all up again, particularly behind your back.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Let’s make those behind your back shoot away from you very fast.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Now stop their going, turn ‘em around and make ‘em fly into you very quickly.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Stuff all the rest of ‘em in.

PC: Okay.

LRH: What happened?

PC: I had a little trouble getting ‘em in, but they kind of got in.

LRH: Well, stuff them down real good.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now make one very good-looking house out in front of you – very good-looking.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Change it around until you know it’s yours.

PC: Well, I know it’s mine now.

LRH: Okay. Put it behind you.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Bring it in.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Now, put it way out in front of you.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now let the next rank… the last group of houses go on out and keep going.

PC: Okay.

LRH: The next to the last group… just let the houses keep going until you’ve got ‘em all gone – all waves of houses.

PC: I’ve got a sort of feeling of relief.

LRH: Kind of pent up, are you?

PC: Yeah, in some way.

LRH: You feel pent up?

PC: A little bit.

LRH: All right, now…

PC: Right now.

LRH: … inside yourself… now inside yourself, without creating them outside, but just create a mass inside which are all the women you’ve ever known.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Now have them get out and leave, and just keep them going out.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Lots of them?

PC: Yeah, lots of them.

LRH: Lots of eem – keep ‘em going. Create lots more now inside yourself and keep ‘em going.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Create lots more and keep ‘em going. Now as they – what’s the matter?

PC: Okay.

LRH: What happened? What were you going to tell me?

PC: Well, for a little while there was this area – probably 25 yards in diameter – that didn’t have any women in it.

LRH: No…

PC: I had to mock up some more to get ‘em coming out.

LRH: Okay. Now as they leave… as they’ve left there, reach way out and pat one of them on the head and feel how sweet she is.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Feel how nice they all were.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Inside yourself now, mock up all these friends and start them leaving.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now following them, just start mocking up houses, one after the other – lots of them – and have them leaving.

PC: These dang things aren’t going out flat at all like you’d think they ought to. They’re going out in a sphere more or less.

LRH: The houses?

PC: Everything.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Friends, women, what have you. They all go out in a sphere.

LRH: Umm-hmm. Anything wrong with that?

PC: Come to think of it, it makes sense. Okay.

LRH: Okay. How far have they gone?

PC: Oh, five, ten miles.

LRH: None of them stop? Now mock up a very, very nice house right behind you.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Now, let’s make it move away with rapidity behind you.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Easy to do.

PC: Umm-hmm!

LRH: Okay, mock up a whole lot of enemies inside yourself and have them leave.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Follow that by mocking up a whole lot of currency inside yourself and having it leave.

PC: Hey, that’s fun. Okay.

LRH: Is it still leaving?

PC: Sure.

LRH: Okay. Let ‘em roll. Let’s mock up a whole lot of food inside yourself and let it leave.

PC: Hmmmm…

LRH: What happened?

PC: That steak looked good.

LRH: Good. Good. Okay. Let it leave. You holding on to it?

PC: Well, there’s a pork chop!

LRH: Pork chop?

PC: Okay.

LRH: All gone.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay, let’s put a uh… point…

PC: Yeah, but that steak’s still there!

LRH: That steak’s still there?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, just create several platters of steak.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, let’s get them stacked now. Lots of platters of steak on top of platters of steak. Got that?

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now get beautiful waitresses carrying each platter of steak.

PC: All right. They’re gone!

LRH: They’re gone. All right. Okay. Now uh… one more… still taste it?

PC: Confound it, I could.’ Yes.

(to class) Well, we of course go into this – we go into another Spacation besides this, but I want to test something here.

(to PC) What’s the matter?

PC: Oh, I just get a kick out of it, that’s all.

LRH: Okay.

PC: I could really taste that confounded steak for a while there.

LRH: Let’s put a point out in front of yourself.

PC: Eyes open or closed?

LRH: Doesn’t matter.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Is it stable?

PC: A lot more stable than it was, yes.

LRH: A lot more stable than it was?

PC: Pretty – pretty stable.

LRH: Well. oh, let’s just shoot the moon here. Uh… let’s take a look at the inside of your forehead.

(aside to class) Two ways to play this, the spacation is the safe way.

PC: I’m still getting a lot of purple, but I think that’s a visio through the normal eyes.

LRH: Yeah? Well, let’s put a beam out against the front of your forehead and shove yourself out the back of your head, if you can find yourself there. If you can get that. What do you get when you do that?

PC: Well, it’s still uncertain, but I’ve a kind of a hunch that I might be there.

LRH: Kind of a hunch you might be there, huh? Well, let’s mock up the body, dress it up in a turban, and put a big feather in front of the turban.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Got that? Okay. Now let’s explode the whole thing with a bang of electricity.

PC: Mmm… okay. It didn’t explode very well. I busted it in two, and I’ve got the halves lying there.

LRH: Okay. All right. Where the halves are lying, have them get uh… all blown up with electricity.

PC: Is that them too? Okay.

LRH: You got it? Let’s take a… let’s take a look there at the back of your head.

PC: Hmm.

LRH: What’s the matter?

PC: I was starting to begin to ask myself ‘which direction?’ And looking at the outside seemed to be easiest.

LRH: The outside seemed to be…

PC: Yeah. I don’t know. I just suddenly began to wonder which direction I look at it from, and…

LRH: Okay. Let’s call that a process.

PC: Okay.

(to class) You wouldn’t ordinarily do what I just did.

Okay, uh… that’s just simply that. I could have gone down through the rest of the line but I had sympathy for your appetites and so on, you’ re very patient, and uh… if you’ll notice there, one point about it, he did have a little bit higher level of certainty. We tore up all his anchor points and we did a lot of other things.

Now that is not a complete – not complete Give and Take. A complete Give and Take would be as given. I introduced some randomity in it just to show you that you don’t have to go according to the rule book. And uh… that was played in the direction as to give him minimals… minimal can’ts. If you’d rigged up all these enemies, for instance, and done nothing more about them, and had them suddenly spring, and so forth, you would have run into a little bit of ‘can’t’. In other words, we’re just keeping on the sunny side of ‘can’ all the way through. Now we get through, he’ll have a better sense of orientation. And that’s what we’re looking for.

Now how many people in this class have been… how many people in this class have been outside and know it? Just have been outside and know it? That’s what we’re saying. Let’s count this.

Would you count it?

Voice: There’s 13 or 14 – 14 out of about… we’ve got a couple of them. We’ve got two or three more slightly doubtfuls.

LRH: Two or three more doubtfuls. We’ve got 13 or 14.

Voice: Yes.

LRH: Or we’ve got just a little bit over a third.

Voice: Uh-uh.

LRH: That’s not good enough, you know?

Voice: About 40 percent.

LRH: You’re not working hard enough, that’s all. Just been too many lectures here in this period of time. Now you can blame me.

But, when we get down to a Standard Operating Procedure, Issue Five, you can do it with a great deal more randomity, with a lot less uh… color. mean by that, a lot less razzle-dazzle, as I’m doing it. You can do it on a strictly ‘plug-it-out’ basis. I don’t care what you do as long as you avoid the ‘shuns’ and just carry through. Why, you’re gonna… gonna get there with the pc.

Now you’ve had… you’ll have some time for auditing after this, but uh… that is because we haven’t had time to audit. That’s because I haven’t done as much auditing here as I should have done – too many lectures again.

Now you may have, at this moment, a little more Idea of the level of precision demanded. It’s sloppy, isn’t it? That’s the level of precision – sloppy.

You know, if you go out… if you go out with a… on a Chicago piano loaded to the hilt, and then put four more Chicago pianos around it so it fires in all directions, and then get inside and pull the trigger; and your target is a sphere located five feet away, you are sure to hit the sphere. Level of precision.

Now the way you make a man fail in Standard Operating Procedure – you couldn’t just in auditing make him fail very badly – but you could make him fail by just getting can’ts, can’ts, can’ts, can’ts, can’ts. And then… one little win, and then cant’s, cant’s, cant’s, cant’s. Because at the level you find your preclear, he can’t get too many loses. An operating thetan can get loses without much affecting his skill. So you want to get him up there, otherwise he rollercoasters around.

As I started to say, if you were out in Curlique, New Jersey, or uh… the other end of the moon or some place, you take SELF ANALYSIS all by itself, with mock-ups for yourself and do it – put the mock-ups in front of you and behind you – I don’t know how long it would take off-hand. Maybe… I don’t know, 60, 80, 90 hours – you’d get there, just on that level of randomity.

So let’s not strain too hard to make sure and be very serious and very careful about the whole deal. Let’s just keep him winning and follow SOP Issue Five. And uh… follow it as roughly as that. See, I… I played a game there. I… I did a risk. He said, „It’s more stable than it was.“ If he’d said, „It’s completely stable,“ I could, of course flipped up to Two without much trouble. „It’s more stable than it was“ – that really indicated Spacation – here we go. And you actually would have done it… done Spacation at that point and just gone right on through and done a complete Spacation.

And if your session was all busted up by time, you’ve ended a session, you end another session and you end another session. If you would just bring him to a win. It’s easy to find wins in this processing – very easy. ‘All the houses lined up out there’ actually were a win. He suddenly realizes that ‘he had them, sort of’, in an orderly effort to orient them or… or something of the sort. Why, there he sat, they were aligned. It’s a funny thing, anchor points and there the darn houses were…

I don’t know, how’d you feel about that?

PC: l can’t correlate them – with an anchor point. I mean, that’s the only thing I have trouble finding… Where do you get the connection? To me they’re houses, period.

LRH: They’re houses period, that’s right. But it’s funny – they all lined up. The only mock-up that lined up for you. We don’t have to get a connection. Nobody asks a preclear to think or evaluate. I was just doing that for your own benefit.

And don’t look at the preclear and expect that uh… he’s going to thank you tremendously and depend on him for a licence to survive, because this immediately tells you that you’re not cause.

It’s an inevitable fact that you can make not only a theta clear, but an operating thetan. And you start operating with a postulate at whatever level you’re going to hit or whatever you’re going to do. And then you just go ahead and do it – no automaticity to amount to anything. All the automaticity you need is in the organization of this subject. And boy, it’s cut down up there at least about C on that cone I was showing you last night.

And your level of precision can be even sloppier than this level if you just follow those steps. But if you think it’s terribly serious and it’s terribly important and it’s terribly this and it’s terribly that, the strain will tell, not necessarily on the preclear, but you.

Now, when you audit, don’t worry about… don’t worry about consequences too much because sooner or later in using any of the steps you’re going to hit a win. And leave him in a win and keep him winning, because winning goes up-scale. And losing goes down-scale. That’s all you need. And you start going up-scale on wins and you get automatically, up into the energy band, you get right on up into the being band. That’s all. Just keep winning. And you as an auditor make sure with your preclears that you win. That’s the only thing that you want to do. And that will make you a better and better and better auditor.

And then one fine day you walk down the street, and you say, „Now that’s a fine-looking man. He ought to be a theta clear!“ POP! „Now how do you feel?“ you say theta-wise.

And the fellow says, „Well, imagine me being here!“

You say, „Well, you imagine it if you want,“ and uh… walk on down the street.

The fellow says, „Wait a minute, uh… uh… you say, you were thinking at the time of so-and-so and so-and-so?“

And you say, „That’s right. That’s right.“

He says, „Well the last thing that I was going to do before I got into this spiral is I knew a little thetan – cute little thing – up on uh… uh…uh… Ganymede in uh… the Upper Constellation of the Swan and… Goodbye. Thank you.“

You talk about healing at a distance. Don’t you worry about healing at a distance until you can heal instantaneously up close. If you can heal instantaneously up close, Lord knows what will happen.

But again, it isn’t an automatic process. It’s because you BE the thing, and ‘be’ it perfectly – simple, isn’t it? Just be it, and then be it perfectly, and then be something else. Don’t go on being it. It wins then too, and you stay up scale.

Okay, that’s uh… it and uh… we’ll have a few more demonstrations of these principles.
