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.

We have as our coverage level one of the many times which we will use the tone scale. The reason we have to get the cycle of action covered more or less and given a… a bit of an overall coverage, fast-like, is so that we can get into the subject of the tone scale, because the tone scale is essentially a cycle of action.

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.

And the second you know that the tone scale is a cycle of action you can start booting preclears around on the tone scale. Now you know from experience that the best way to get somebody well and in good shape is to boot him on up the tone scale.

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.

And that is the one thing you keep striving to do, and very often you hit it and sometimes you miss it and… and… and so on, and it becomes too much randomity. So how do you move somebody up the tone scale?

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.

Well, we have been doing a number of these things simultaneously without having them properly divided. And one of the ways you boot somebody up the tone scale is you get them to stop identifying. And uh… you get them so they’ll associate one thing with another instead of identify with it.

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.

Uh… you can get them to differentiate. Uh… you uh… start them up the tone scale by getting them to get their… their visios in motion, or something of the sort. Or you get them up the tone scale by running out all the times people were trying to wipe them out. Or get them up the tone scale by reducing their desire to be an effect and… and making them desire to be a cause.

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.

Or you get them up the tone scale by running out enough secondaries so they can assume a higher level of emotion. Some secondary’s pinning them down – they’re in a terror engram or something of the sort. You run out the terror engram and after that they’re in anger.

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.

And you’ve got this sort of a series of combinations with which you’ve been working uh… straight through uniformly in Dianetics and Scientology and working with this tone scale and you know that moving a person up the tone scale makes a person well. We also found out that moving a person up the tone scale restores a self-determinism.

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.

So we just extrapolate across of that, we find out that moving a person up the tone scale uh… increases their self-determinism and uh… it also increases this, that and so on and so on. Well, every time you say „If you move a person up the tone scale it will improve this and this and this,“ that is automatically a statement that if you do this and this and this and this and this, you move a person up the tone scale.

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

We can make this statement both ways and so we have now a very large number of ways to move somebody up the tone scale. With creative processing you can address directly each one of these ways and they keep just coming right on up the tone scale.

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.

So the tone scale becomes something that is very easy to move people around on – not something which was a terrible arduous hit over the head with a club sort of e thing, of „We’ve got to move him up the tone scale and Lord knows how we’re going to do it. But we’ll try somehow.“

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.

„And uh… maybe running this and running that and doing something or other – maybe this is going to move him a little bit. He’s… he’s in better tone, his tone’s better. He’s just a little more self-determined. He got up off the couch the other day and he said to me, uh… he said, „You’ve got your nerve doing so and so.“ He’s always been very meek and mild and propitiative before, so he’s up the tone scale.“

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.

We’ve got a gauge here. Now this tone scale was a very interesting thing. And the development of this whole science actually could be monitored by or measured by how well-developed the tone scale was.

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.

In Book One we had a tone scale. That’s the first plate, the first illustration in Book One. It’s the tone scale in its embryonic form. And then in Science of Survival we started to move out onto the line and we really got behavior at these various levels.

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.

Now it’s a funny thing about the tone scale is you get a person at a certain position on the tone scale and he operates right straight on across the tone scale, and we also found out that man was such a composite of beings that he had two positions on the tone scale. We found out first that he had a couple of positions on this tone scale. He was at… be at 1.5 and he’d he at 2.5. That was very strange.

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.

Well, he seemed to be – very, very upsetting. And we tried to explain it by harmonics and so forth and it was quite easily explained that way and that still has some truth in it but the… but the fact of the matter is that this fellow… this fellow was on the tone scale as a social, educational unit which was part of a society and that was his stimulus-response activity.

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.

And then he was on the tone scale at an entirely different level a“ the thetan. What was he as a thetan? Now he was conforming to or not conforming to the society to the degree that he was sane or insane as a… as the thetan. So we have this monitoring unit and we look on the tone scale and we find we can plot the thetan on the tone scale and just independently. And we find out he’s just usually clear down below zero and we can plot the body response, social-educational strata, which we can trace all the way through this boy, we say „He went to Eton.“ We’ve immediately set a position on the tone scale.

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.

And then we had the composite being plottable on the tone scale. Social, educational, environmental background, so and so and so and so and so and so modified by the thetan. The thetan’s willingness to accept this or his… his anxiousness to reject it.

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.

So we had the thetan on the tone scale; we had the body on the tone scale. And then we had this position on the tone scale which was gotten because of the interaction between those two facts. So there are actually three places a person could have been on the tone scale. And their… their common denominator, mean position, the… the place where they were located however would demonstrate a predictability, which in itself was horrible to behold. If you looked across the tone scale and you found out that somebody was continually withholding information from you, withholding information from you, withholding information from you, you all of a sudden – you would find yourself just being ruined by this person. You couldn’t quite figure out why this was. Well, if you looked across the level, it says „Communication“ and then in other positions on the Science of Survival tone scale under „Ethics,“ under „Behaviour,“ sex and other things, you could have predicted exactly what that person would have done.

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.

Now there’s a very good reason for this. The tone scale is a very clear-cut pattern and it becomes very clear-cut to us now that we can relate experience all the way up and down it and so it becomes very easy to use and you use this in creative processing and you use it continually in creative processing because the composite, the overall… the overall picture of the case can be altered now by the use of any of the principles we’ve covered in the last hour and about five or six more. There are about five or six more interrelated experiences of lesser magnitude, really.

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.

Five or six more that we can cross line and, as the anti-aircraft gunner says, we can take the preclear with him and then let him have it. Because we’ve got any number of conditions we… which we can alter or throw at him or vary and demonstrate to him that he can where he says he can’t. You do that with mock-up processing.

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.

Therefore the use of the tone scale might be said to be the use of processing itself. Now, if you know the tone scale, and if you know the tone scale’s principles, you can do a very good job of processing. The tone scale could be conceived to be a scale of wave lengths. Now that actually would be another scale. Uh… it’s actually a different scale.

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.

Wave lengths uh… are not an adequate demonstration of the tone scale. But the states and conditions of beingness proceeding from Q-1 are positions on the tone scale. Here we have then a tone scale from forty-zero through twenty.

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.

I keep putting down twenty and the harmonic picture figures it out to be sixteen or twenty-two to be the optimum action points by the way. I just keep splitting this thing in half just to give the zone of action. I say, „Well, it’s in the general zone of twenty.“ But actually twenty itself is a conservatism. You figure out the harmonics that way.

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.

And we have here zero-zero and then we also have minus eight-point- zero down here and then we have another interesting point and this point is four-point-zero. Another interesting point is two-point-zero. Now those are very interesting points on this tone scale. I give you the most interesting points on the scale. Now those are arbitrary numbers.

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.

They are numbers with which you compute harmonic“,. Well you say, we… we just… there is an arbitrary number. They’re just a value assigned arbitrarily with no uh… relationship to anything else except this scale. They say these things might as well be called A B C D as positions, but if you use them arithmetically you can compute from them harmonic values.

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.

If you have harmonic values with our tone scale here you can compute which ones are harmonics of lower ones and that figures out numerically. Now really the tone scale should start at zero. The tone scale should be at zero just at plutonium. That should be zero on the tone scale. And because that is all this destruction from there on south which starts in again on creation…

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.

It’s a… you know, a beautiful piece of symbolism that they have used plutonium at last for a weapon. That is the most. wonderful piece of symbolism possible, because plutonium is the level or they think… they… these guys go around wild-eyed talking about low-order fission. Did they get hydrogen so it would have a chain reaction, and so on and so on and – no no, they… they… they just happened to hit at the point where they got the lowest point of stop, where stop comes to a point where it’s got to start again and that element is plutonium. It is so dense that it can’t stay dense. And so that would be zero.

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.

Now there is a condition of plutonium whereby it will stay together and a condition of plutonium where it won’t stay together and the difference is the difference between the old cycle’s end and the new cycle’s beginning.

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?

When plutonium explodes you can do all sorts of things with it. You can run all kinds of things with plutonium. You have an almost unlimited energy source which the boys are throwing around. And naturally with that order of magnitude you would knock apart the section of the MEST universe with great adequacy. You would just knock things apart wonderfully.

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.

And uh… here we have then what would be the actual theoretical – you see there might be other elemental picture… elementary pictures which wouldn’t make this an absolute in any way here in this universe. Certainly there are different pictures in other universes of material. But we have there, that would be real zero, but this tone scale up… was first. tailored to apply to human behavior.

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.

And oddly enough this tone scale has gone into parlance; the boys know what you’re talking about when you say he is a one-one, he is a one-five. I was processing a one-five the other day and… and when – that statement one-five is a great big picture of behavior.

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.

Auditor knows the tone scale well, that is to say he knows how to speak Scientology well, he just comes right on straight across the line very easily and he said, „Oh, you one-five?“ Yeah, it says to him immediately: holds on like mad, uh… quite destructive, uh… yet at the same time uh… has impulses toward uh… helping and being upset and uh… supposed to be doing it for his own… everybody’s good but is quite brutal about the whole thing. He has arthritis. He probably is holding on to flocks of ridges in these various patterns.

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.

Uh… it just tells you, if you gave him a communication line uh… he’d just flip it the opposite way so that it’d be destructive if he… if he let it go on at all. He’d be just holding pattern after pattern after pattern by saying a number. He’d say one-five.

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.

Now you say two-zero; two-zero, that’s the antagonistic fellow who stands down in the middle of a park and lectures from a soap box and says „Down with the government. You’ve got to do something, workers, uh… uh… throw off your chains because we’re going to destroy the government and uh… you’re all going to inherit the government providing you… you go ahead and do so because the government’s done this and it’s done that.“

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.

Well, actually that’s more one-five, toward… more towards one-five than two-zero when he starts talking about destruction. But he’s going on or, an antagonism level. That’s antagonism.

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.

They’re this. They’re that. They’re something or other. They’re so on and so on and so on, uh… antagonism. Now four-point-zero, that’s enthusiasm. He’s going in or going out on the line of four-point-zero. He’s saying, „Now what we ought to do is so and so and so and so and if we get together in there and if we do this and we do that why we know we can do it. Now let’s…“ so on.

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.“

And at zero-point-zero the fellow says… there you are on the tope scale. Now this band between zero-point-zero and four-point-zero is very well plotted. It’s found on the chart in SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL. There’s nothing changed on that chart, hasn’t varied at all. And we have… when we look that over, we have a very clear picture of what we’re talking about.

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.

Actually there’d be no reason why I should suddenly start in here and give you the various characteristics of people because the entire Book One of SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL covers this, and Book One of SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL could be called „Human Evaluation“ and human evaluation applies very broadly. And it is still as valid as it was the day it was written.

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.“

And so it has come into even better use right now than it has been in the past. We… we have more use for that book now than we had when it was written, so there’s no sense in my standing here and giving you a long dissertation on these various levels of the tone scale, from zero-point-zero to four-point-zero.

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.

You don’t know very much about minus eight-point-zero, nor too much about four-point-zero and forty. And uh… this forty by the way I was showing you there on that cycle of action in an earlier lecture, uh… that forty- point-zero I was putting over there toward infinite rightness. And if you made any confusion about it being over there toward infinite rightness, it’s not even vaguely toward infinite rightness.

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.

It’s way in, I was just showing you more or less what a gradient scale would be plotted on this tone scale. You can have a gradient scale for any cycle of action. But forty-point-zero is so far from infinity that uh… you couldn’t hardly measure it.

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?

It’s… it’s quite finite. It’s within the realm of experience of any one of you, forty-point-zero is. It has a certain number of emotions, so forth, if you’ll look in the Chart of Attitudes, which I’ll have to cover a little bit more, but I’m not going to cover all of it.

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.

The Chart of Attitudes in the HANDBOOK FOR PRECLEARS, which is the most valid portion of the HANDBOOK FOR PRECLEARS, it’s that little chart. Uh… when you look across there you’ll find a certain number of conditions which go between twenty-seven-point-zero and forty-point-zero.

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.“

Some of them are above forty, some of them are below forty. I wasn’t arbitrary enough to assign them straight across the boards there for forty. So you look across there, you find out what’s at that band. And that band uh… has the very interesting characteristic of having an awful lot more in it than it appears at first glance, by a long ways. But the most interesting of all this is the fact that the darned thing is a harmonic.

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.

It observably is a harmonic. This was not immediately apparent on drawing it at all. But you know, all through the MEST Universe you find these harmonics. A harmonic is sort of this way. You’ve got something that… you’ve got a tuning fork, you have two tuning forks, and one is uh… one tuning fork, let us say, is one thousand and twenty-four vibrations per second.

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.

When you strike it, if you counted the vibrations, it was vibrating at that. It will give you a certain musical note. Now let’s take and strike that thing and what do you know? Another tuning fork sitting alongside of it which is five hundred and twelve vibrations per second would give a much fainter but a much… just half a note. I mean half of a note level below it it’d go hummmmm. You haven’t struck it.

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.

You’d strike the upper one and the lower one is half its vibration count, half its wave length in sound. Now if you were to take the five hundred and twelve one and the ten… uh twenty-four one is still – the five hundred twelve one – if you were to hit the five hundred and twelve one and go bong, why, what do you know, this… everybody knows that another five hundred and twelve one would certainly go bong right alongside of it.

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?

The two – you strike one and the other’s going to vibrate – they just… that’s what’s known as sympathetic vibration and is one of the mechanisms that is contained in sympathy itself. Five hundred and twelve – this person’s at five hundred and twelve vibrations per second, that’s more or less just a handy way of saying where he is and he’s going to try and make everybody else five hundred and twelve by being sympathetic.

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.

He turns on this and they get to be five hundred and twelve too. Maybe they’d like to be much higher. So, ten twenty-four, however, and that’s the oddity, is that not as many people know that at ten twenty-four you would get the tuning fork sounding if you hit half of its wave length. And it goes this way in multiples. If you get… if you… down here if you turn on a radio station, a radio station is a thousand cycle or a thousand KCs or something like that. It’s a thousand KC, you’re going to get something… it’s… it just is operating at that and receivers around which were set at five hundred KC and receivers around which were set at two thousand KC will also he able to get a small chunk of that reception.

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 this is more… very marked when you get right up against the transmitter. Those people who are unfortunate enough to be up against heavy transmitters, in cities and so on, they can pick the harmonics all up and down the line.

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.

Radio stations are continually in receipt of nice letters from the Federal Communications Commission saying „We understand that your harmonic at so and so, double your wave length, something like that, is far too heavy; you will have to modify this and uh… or cease broadcasts.“

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.

There’s sometimes the harmonic will get so strong that uh… you could actually tune in your radio set uniformly at half the wave length and get it just as easily as the main wave length; that’s the idea of harmonics. Repeats in other words, repeats. Well, what’s this a repeat of? Actually it’s a harmonic of densities.

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.“

It’s just densities – anything that’s half as dense as something will go along and vibrate with something. So let’s take density unit one. Anything which is density half of that one or density twice of that one will be company to it, they will do the same things that…

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.

And… but things that are at different – let’s say something that’s a third of that or something that’s two-thirds of that and so on – you won’t get as marked uh… action there. You might even get a different action entirely. This is harmonics in observation in this universe. You could put in quite a study on this, but just let me point this out.

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.“

Apathy is not too much different than anger. Apathy sits down there to the lower band; it’s quite wide, but apathy is holding, isn’t it? And it’s motionless isn’t it? And anger is holding, isn’t it? And it’s more or less motionless. The fellow, you can just see him just tightening up his chords and so forth and rigidity is setting in and he gets arthritis and so forth.

„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?“

Well, there’s a relationship then between apathy and anger. Matter of fact, a fellow in anger can be thrown into apathy with great speed because it’s such a related condition. So he’s in anger, he has a companionship with apathy.

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.“

Now let’s look at three-point-zero. Three-point-zero is conservatism. „Well, yes, Mr. Jones, if you come back tomorrow we will think it over very carefully. Of course this company has a very conservative policy and we don’t want to encroach too much upon your time or anything like that but uh…“ and so on stop motion stop motion stop motion, let’s hold it down, let’s not do anything. Let’s not be very advancing and let’s seem so calm about the whole thing because that’s the nicest stupidest trap there is in the universe: that these calm people have anything to contribute to the society or should at any time be consulted because conservatism is a very low harmonic of serenity. Very, very low harmonic on it and it is a rather near harmonic of anger and apathy and it is destruction. And it is so low on its tone scale but is so high compared to a lot of things, that people get quite fooled by it.

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…“

They think it has some value to be conservative and uh… to he rather poised and conform and to restrain. Now apparently – that’s all of science today writing in any field – runs something like this: „Well, evidently, according to some of our investigators, who of course we cannot possibly guarantee the reliability of, but it just seems to us as we look at their work that a condition might possibly exist, under, of course, certain restricted conditions and not at any time pervasive into any workable or useful brand of information, but this condition was found by certain things and at various times was observed and so we can say at this time that we tentatively advance, without endorsing it of course, this datum.

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.

Now according to Professor Snodbump we have…“ and here we go: modern scientific writing. It means what? It says „We don’t take the responsibility for this. We take no responsibility, we take no responsibility and just for variation we take some slight responsibility if there’s anything to have. But if there’s nothing immediately to have, well, we don’t take any responsibility for that and if we have to have anything we’ll have to have procured it rather covertly as though it was somewhat our due, and so on, and if we took responsibility for anything, why that would practically butcher us in our tracks because we’re scared to death really.“

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.“

„We’re just sitting right there at the decks and if anybody said „Boo“ real quick, we would run and run and run.“ Actually, they’ll go into anger and apathy. Now, here… here is your picture of conservative things.

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.

It is another beautiful way of destroying. Uh… the young inventor who just got the new wumagajugit that makes the Sherman tank actually spufflelacate and he rushes in, and he’s… he’s… he’s been working in their design department, he rushes into the front office and he says, „Look, the government is about… the government is about to… to… to throw out our orders on General Sherman tanks and so forth because they won’t spufflelacate. And I’ve suddenly found out that if you turriapate them they’ll spufflelacate. And just look, look, and… and come out and look at the test,“ and the fellows all in the front office, they… they… the clerks and so forth, they get quite excited.

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.

But then they get into the… the boss and the boss sits there and he says, „Well, then, let’s see, what’s spufflelacation? Well, that’s sperffelacate and oh, I… well, what terms are you using there? Well, that’s very interesting, that’s very interesting, why don’t you uh… write a – memorandum about it and uh… put it in channels and uh… we’ll consider this at the next board meeting, perhaps, if we get around to it“ and uh… so on. The young fellow says, „But I heard the government was about ready to canc…“ „Well now, you shouldn’t concern yourself with these high policy level things and uh… that uh… is about that,“ and he goes out and the clerks noticed how he was treated. So they are kind of conservative to him too.

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.“

And uh… so he goes back into the plant and he sits there and he kinda gets sore about this a little bit but he doesn’t think too much about it. He doesn’t think much more about it. A few days later the government cancels all of the orders on General Sherman tanks and uh… the General Sherman tanks they do make… they finish up the orders on the thing – well, they are delivered but they don’t work in battle and a lot of men get killed and that sort of thing.

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.

But we couldn’t take responsibility in the front office, could we? Well, that’s… that’s actually the truth of the matter. Young kid down in the oil well fields, he just… he just, God help him, if he finds out how to save the company 50% of their production cost. God help him, because conservatism is a gradient scale of die. It’s stop. And it’s one of the stopping stop cycles of action. And you could say actually that there’s a cycle of action interposing between conservatism and anger.

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.

It starts in conservatism and ends in anger. So you could say there’s a whole cycle of action in there. And there’s a cycle of action that goes from anger and it leads straight into apathy. This whole thing from forty to minus eight could be called a cycle of action. This would be a full cycle as far as behavior is concerned, because we’re interested in it.

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

But there could be a cycle of action as we’ve seen here between four-point-zero and death. Here’s a fellow’s been enthusiastic all his life and uh… he winds up and one day he’s dead too. So this is homo sap and uh… that’s his widest cycle of action.

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.

Now a thetan has that first full cycle of action and the universe itself has this full cycle of action. But things which start in conservatism will end in anger. Things which start in anger, you could see – you could start creating at any one of those hold points really. And you’ve got numbers of cycles marked in here. That’s why we can say we start him up here with differentiation and we wind up with complete identification.

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.

What’s matter? The thing that is solidest is matter, it’s matter and what do you get? You get an identification of particles inside that, and you get an identity and an identification, and they mean the same thing, identity and identification. Because identity is not individualism, identity is: We are all the same. I have a name, too. But individualism depends on differentiation which is: I am so different I don’t need a name. The guy is so observably different he doesn’t need an artificial classification.

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.

So we get individualism as being way up scale and we get identity as being solid matter. Now what uh… that… that by the way interrelates most terrifically. We find out down at the bottom of the line a symbol becomes the thing. The term is the thing. I mean there’s no differentiation at the bottom of the scale. Psychotics are just that way. They hand you a symbol, they reach into their pockets and hand you a thing. It’s fascinating to observe. In scientific books it is much more important, in these very conservative low-level books, it is very very much more important to have the proper classification, but look at this difference. I think it’s the field of biology or botany, I have to look this up one day, and uh… I just caught it going by about twenty-five years ago and I didn’t read it straight.

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.

But uh… Francis Bacon was writing a philosophical treatise, he was dashing one off, you know these… takes a long time to write these things. Uh… uh… the better writers took a long time to write things. You know that it is an actual fact that the longer it takes to write something the better the story. Well, it must be true because every time you look in the magazines or something of the sort it says this story took seven years to write. And a good… good writer will look at something like that and say „I wonder what’s wrong with that story. What couldn’t be solved in it.“

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.

Evidently you’re supposed to have written a paragraph at a time and then laid it aside for a month or something. I can’t see the virtue of all this slow motion. But uh… the funny part of it is that writers, knowing this, rather hide from the general public the speed of operation. Poor old Dickens, he certainly… certainly – no popularity in his work of course, and it’s not even vaguely accepted or clever, actually he’s still the most popular writer in England, I think.

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.

Uh… Dickens dished it out at a speed which would have made a modern court reporter dizzy. If you don’t believe that, add the number of years that Dickens was alive and the number of books he wrote and the number of words per book and then find out how much he wrote a year and you’ll find out he was topping the fastest pulp writer in America. Interesting, isn’t it?

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.

Uh… that uh… old Eddie Poe used to dish this stuff out at a speed which would look like greased lightning to a fast newspaper writer. He was writing what he wrote faster than the modern newspaper writer writes that horrible junk that you read, about the murder and so forth. Uh… it doesn’t seem to have any relationship to time, quality does, except you can pretty well count upon it having bad quality if it took too long. And modern scientific work which goes on and quibbles about the word Professor Yockgatta says that uh… this word should have been A but Professor Yackwalla says that it should have been A uh… to the variation, nyheauw – and the book goes on for half of its length discussing whether it should have been A and this book is on Ice Ages.

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 you’re looking there in vain; you’re just looking all the way through this book to find what causes a glacial period. And you look and you look and you look and you look and it doesn’t say anything. It describes a glacial period by saying that it is thought, it is heard, it was believed but we… we supposed, and evidence, all those others exist – what do you get?

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.

You get no cause stated in the whole subject of Ice Ages and glaciers in any publication of which I have any knowledge and if you read the – Encyclopedia Britannica on the subject of Ice Ages, they don’t even suppose that they ever were caused by anything.

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.

You can look there in vain to find out the cause of Ice Ages, and you don’t find this in scientific works. They don’t even talk about the cause of Ice Ages. Why? Because they’re writing at a tone level of identity and identity is never otherwise than a full effect. And you don’t get guys and things that are at the level of full effect writing about cause. They wouldn’t even know cause if they ran into 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.

The fellow that made this universe could meet them in the street and shake them by the hand, and… and have every possible reason to bel… they’d have every possible reason to believe that they were talking to the guy who made this universe and they would still go out and write: I… it is thought, and I feel, and uh… evidences do not seem to indicate at this time…

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.

But you know what the rest of the conduct is at that tone band – it’s a fascinating thing – complete no-responsibility. These things which they’re actually espousing… these things which they’re espousing they have not tested, and that is the most shudderingly horrible thing of the whole thing.

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.“

They put out this terrific level of conservative approach and then wind up advocating that everybody take a yackgalla. And what’s their series of cases for the prefrontal lobotomy, to test whether or not it worked?

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.

What was the exploratory investigation course of the prefrontal lobotomy which is so widely advised, so widely advised that a court would consider it malpractice if the physician didn’t do it if it were indicated? And the number of cases which tested the prefrontal lobotomy is exactly zero. It started into practice in the United States as a thing in practice.

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.

It was not investigated and at no time along the line has anybody ever found out if it did anything to or for a patient. Now isn’t that fascinating?

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.

There… the only existing record and investigation of figures on this happens to sit in myvault. It was compiled at great expense, but it was all the data that could be gotten on the subject – not slanted data – all the data that could be gotten on the subject of prefrontal lobotomy and electric shock.

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.

They shifted their words around. They said improvement means stopped shaking so violently or something like that. But they’ll say improvement was indicated, and you find out what the improvement was. Improvement was observed; you find out that the fellow used to fall off of his couch and scream and roll all around on the floor but now he doesn’t fall off of his couch. He… he screams and rolls around on the couch and that’s superior.

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.

There is nothing. The first case on that that it’s based on was a crowbar blew out of a forge and ran through the prefrontal lobes of somebody in Bavaria. You look over the case history on this and you’ll find there’s somebody in Bavaria uh… just, before this happened, uh… he stuttered or he was stupid and uh… he was… he was a moron and one day he walked up to this forge and the forge exploded and this crowbar blew right straight through his temples and went out the other side and made a hole clear through the prefrontal lobes.

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.

Go on, why don’t you ask me what happened? What… what… I mean, what happened to his stammering or his disability in general or whether he ceased to be a moron? That’s not part of the case history. There isn’t any.

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.

And nobody writing or studying on the subject evidently has enough brains to realize that it’s an integral portion of the case history. Don’t ever look around at a piece of matter and respect it. Don’t ever respect matter. That’s the first thing… mistake you can make, because what you’re doing is lending your support to something which is full effect and if you let yourself be full effect of that piece of matter it puts you lower than the matter.

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.

So any time you lend your support to anything as thoroughly matter as such a… a yakgullayupyup or treat it otherwise than – gee, what do you know, they uh… what do you know, those pebbles down there knock each other together. Psychiatry… they… pebbles – you can’t go out on an all-out basis against psychiatry because you’re in communication with something that’s full effect and it’s pretty hard to get in communication with it because it hasn’t any communication lines to amount to anything.

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.

It’s… you can zap it but why, you can always… you can always demolish matter, and you can do other things with matter, but it isn’t even there. All right, now get… get your study then of where these various bands are. And that’s three-point-zero on the tone scale – conservative scientific writing. Three-point-zero on the tone scale. Gee, homo sapiens is really operating there in a narrow band, isn’t he?

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.

He sure is, too. He’s in a narrow tolerance band in every other direction. Goes up there eighteen thousand feet and he’ll probably die of anoxemia. If he went down a couple of miles, he’d… probably something else would happen to him, roast or something. And uh… he… he certainly can’t go down two feet below the level of the sea, so he’s pinned between sea level and about eighteen thousand feet.

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… he ‘s not only that but uh… he’s pinned on a certain… certain uh… zones of this pole; he’s here between uh… oh he’s not very much above seventy. You have to have a technology, an Eskimo technology, to exist above that, which just is fascinating to behold, how technical it is. And uh… there’s nobody living down in Antarctica. And directly on the Equator at sea level brrrr and uh… so he’s… he’s on this little tiny globe in the MEST universe.

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.

And he can’t go up more than eighteen thousand feet and he can’t go down any distance and his temperature gradient without clothes or other protection and so on is very slight; it’s about fifteen or twenty degrees, really, if it were constant. Very slight, if they had no protection.

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.

But with all of his protective mechanisms ant so forth, he can live from forty below zero, if he has all of his protective mechanisms, up to about 135, if he has all of his protective mechanisms. But. if he doesn’t have these protective mechanisms, he slims right on down from about. – oh I don’t know – 70 to 85 or something like that. He’s… pretty narrow if you didn’t have roofs and other things to hide yourself under when that sun started beating hotter than 85, that would be the end of you probably. And uh… certainly cold is… would get you rather quick, so he’s… he’s scared. He hasn’t got any space to operate in. He’s got a tolerance band of temperature; he’s got a tolerance band of motion. Do you know that if you hit a homo sapiens at seventy-five miles an hour against a brick wall, he splatters. He hasn’t any… any motion tolerance to amount to anything.

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.

If you put him in a ship which had an acceleration of eight G’s he’d probably squash pretty flat. It’d hurt him bad; he’d have to have special mechanisms. If you suddenly threw an acceleration of twelve times or twelve gravities, thirty-two point two feet per second acceleration uh… if you had that much acceleration – twelve gravities – he probably wouldn’t even be alive to tell you about it; he would just burst to pieces.

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.

Did you know that boys operating on PT boats when they’d go across rough seas, it would knock their kidneys down, their kidneys would displace. Uh… just a PT boat hitting a heavy chop, or a uh… guy riding a motorbike, if he doesn’t wear a belt, and so forth, he’ll eventually knock his guts and kidneys out of place. Guy on a PT boat by the way jolted his whole brain low in his skull. So this is… this is interesting.

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.

I mean he has very little tolerance for motion and so on. So he’s on a narrow band and he feels like he’s walking on the thinnest of thin ice. And you wonder why homo sapiens is afraid, he has no space, and he cannot generate a high motion. He has to have a low motion. And the fact that he does anything at all is just fantastic. It is… it’s a very great tribute that he would work in this narrow, narrow tiny little tolerance band and actually create something and protect himself and survive.

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 about the only reason that he was doing it is homo sapiens for – his own environment was a very tough boy. For his own environment – he was tougher than dinosaurs, he was tougher than snakes and alligators and tougher than armadillos and he was tougher than birds, and he was tougher than anything else – so he owns this planet.

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.

All right, so he takes up that much of the tone band when you’re operating on a preclear and you’re having a tough time getting this preclear up from one-one to two-point-zero. And you’re having a tough time doing that with old techniques; your frame of reference on what should happen to him is itself quite narrow. To make… to take a fellow from one-one to two-point-zero. So, when we have a narrow band of this character we are apt to forget that there is this band of action to work on.

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.

We’re doing a rather incredible thing of viewing from this little tiny band here the ability to ascend a very large band. You can clean up homo sapiens in a very short space of time with these techniques. You can shift him around on the tone band, but you have to take into consideration, if you do that, these various cycles.

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 we… let’s take what we have here and find out what is at forty and we have at forty, we have space, beingness, creation, start, in terms of motion, uh… cause, very important there, now we have differentiation. Now let’s take the center band and let’s find out what we have there on the center band.

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.

We have energy, we have doingness; you want to get somebody into high level action, you have change. The essential of doingness is change, and you have, in addition to that, uh… conservation comes in there. And you have, of course, logic and association. Now down here on this lower band you have matter; of course, the guy’s in a body, the thetan is in a body at that stage; it’s the matter band that you’re into.

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.

You have havingness; of course your thetan is clinging madly on to this body; he has to have something. You have in addition to that stop, and in addition to that destruction, and of course anything that came along could use homo sapiens. Why? Because homo sapiens is pretty close to a full effect, in that you’re death. And you have identification.

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.

You just take all those cycles of action and let’s compose them all together and let’s take a look at what you get here. And you get this… this picture of all these cycles, and that’s cycle after cycle after cycle after cycle and if you change his position on any one cycle you change his position on all cycles.

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.

Now let’s do one more thing on this. Let’s take this and take a gradient scale of energy and energy is here, perhaps a particle and there, particles which are designed chiefly to move or be moved. And here we have collections of particles down here. This would be positions on the scale of uh… A B C. Down here at C we have particles which are either constructed to be or because of condensation; there we have the non-motion particles.

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.

They’re supposed to stop motion or to be stopped. There’s the various design of the particles. The space in that area is contracted so that particles will stop and be stopped. That’s designed to stop space. It… it’s what you call stop space. That’s… it’s a condensed space.

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.

So space itself condenses from forty and comes on down here. Now actually if we looked from here flat on the band, if we just looked straight on we would really have here… we… I… I wish I could draw this on here, I’ll put it in… in red as a pole which is coming out toward you. Uh… it looks like a tack maybe, but if you could imagine yourself… yourself looking from this pole on down here – you see the pole came out this way – you would be looking at gradient scales of wave lengths into the chart, so if… as you were to work on gradient scales of wave lengths into the chart, you would find that almost any wave could exist at almost any position on this chart. That’s quite hard to draw. In 8-80 I knew the existence of that but I couldn’t figure out any way to explain it without fouling anybody up like mad. But I can tell you about it. That’s different from writing about it, and so on.

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.

So let’s have a… let’s have this thing here at any point and let’s just take the other plane out toward us and let’s look at wave lengths. And now we could have then… there’s a gradient scale of particle distances which could fit against any of these spaces.

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.

Now there’s more to be said about that, but this is sufficient for our knowledge here. And here’s… here’s a silly thing called… called the aesthetics band.

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.

Now the aesthetic band is very close to theta and theta could be tractored into the lower end of the chart by aesthetics. How do we demonstrate this? Me take bodies, bodies are aesthetic, he’s attracted to bodies and so he gets himself down into this lower band of the scale, down in the C area, by an aesthetic wave.

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.

So there’s an aesthetic wave accompanying even the heaviest effort wave you have on the effort, what we call the effort band. That is an effort level which could exist at a certain, depth here across the full face of the chart. And we would have reason existing also as a… a wave length. These two things can’t be envisioned on a flat… flat surface, a two-dimensional surface. They’re a three-dimensional thing.

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.

As a matter of matter of fact“ you’re trying to put in terms of dimension things which have to do with experience, and your particle flow is essentially experience operating here under these various stressed conditions. So, let’s look out here and let’s find that we have reason which has a very fine wave. We have aesthetics here and we have this here and that here at almost any level of this chart.

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.

You can envision it that way, you can see how twenty-point-zero could entain… contain a terrific effort. See? How twenty-point-zero could have this fantastic effort, which a person could accomplish because he was at twenty-point-zero. But that same effort at four-point-zero would be something you couldn’t touch. But it could be the same effort at twenty-point-zero. Same effort at four-point-zero. In other words, twenty-point-zero is able to handle the whole band out here and four-point-zero is not able to handle the whole band out here but the whole band is present at four-point-zero and present at twenty-point-zero. You get the idea?

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.

So we’re taking the capabilities of handling the whole band. So we… look… look at how this thing does – it scales down this way. You needn’t bog your wits down too badly with this but it’s quite interesting that it scales down this way.

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.

At forty-point-zero these things are so unessential that a person pays mainly attention to the aesthetic band. Well, ……… aesthetic, he’s not going to worry about effort.

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.

At twenty-point-zero he wants to go into motion, so he’s going to pay attention to visible particle bands like light, uh… like electricity, uh… that sort of thing. He’ll see these things snapping and booming around and he’ll use this stuff and so on and it’s also present and can be present at forty-point-zero, you see. But it’s just used more at twenty-point-zero.

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.

And now let’s get down to… to… to C as a position there and we find out that although there’s… there’s all of these beautiful aesthetic bands and there’s all these light snap uh… high wave abilities to think and everything else there at C, the same as they were at twenty-point-zero, when we get there at C we find out that the person’s ability to handle the wave spectrums and so on has decreased to a point where he has mostly to do with the very heavy solid particle waves of matter.

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.

And he’s handling matter with matter and heavy juice and that’s about all he’s willing to handle. And he doesn’t add much of the aesthetic band in there. So one could say that as here at the top there’s a capability; we’d have a triangle out here, you see, a triangle which would be facing you and it’d come out here from forty and you’d have this terrific capability out here about three feet. In triangles you’d have the whole band which would go from the tiniest wave length there was to the heaviest wave length there was. Anything could be handled at forty-point-zero with great selectivity, if you wanted to handle it. No need to handle it though.

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.

So what’s selected out here, it’d be what is closest to you, furthest up the scale. See it’s only apparent that these scales are parallel. They’re not – they’re at right angles to each other. All right, so forty-point-zero would be most likely to handle a various state of light wave, there’s no necessity to do anything else about it.

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-.

But it could handle a full wave if it wanted to and if it started to handle what we would call the effort wave, the heavy effort waves of – well, heavy electricity and so forth – if it wanted to handle those it could simply start out from scratch and handle those and it wouldn’t be able… it wouldn’t be able to conceive… it wouldn’t be able to conceive there was a great difficulty in handling heavy effort any more than it would have great difficulty in handling aesthetic, but it would differentiate widely amongst these waves. It would be able to pick up this wave and then it’d say, „What do you know, that is a heavy… that’s a heavy photon wave, ah well,“ and then So on. Uh… now if this line would cave back in toward B and at B would be about halfway back and we would find that this capabilities to use waves at B was simply this: It was unwillingness to use upper band waves because capability requires a lot of heavier stuff, but this level at B would sort of select the center out of the band.

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.

You… you wouldn’t use terrifically high aesthetics, but it’d use toward aesthetics. And it… it wouldn’t use terrifically heavy matter if it didn’t have to, but it would use matter, you see. And so you’d have its capability. Now its preference for waves would be middle-band waves. That would be the preference for it. You want… you want energy which goes zzzzap and which will travel across a very large amount of space and accomplish a heck of a lot with the least effort. That would be the optimum kind of energy.

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.

We want a lightning bolt that is fast and portable and that you can put in your pocket and use at will, but what do you know: already this person at twenty-point-zero or at B on the tone scale is sort of sliding in to: It has to be made for me or I have to have it in a package. He’s already to that degree in that state of being. Uh… it is valuable for me to take from the commissary uh… certain packages of. It is a good thing to have with you a transformer pack for a replacement in these jets.

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.

See he’s already come down to the point where he isn’t thinking too much in… let’s make a transformer pack for these jets, oh to hell with the jets, let’s just go on over there – and by the way at that point on the tone scale you find people doing that. They’ll fool around with a piece of machinery or a piece of power pack or a piece of equipment or something like that and they fool around with it.

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.

And they fool around with it, that guy gets bored with it ‘cause it’s… there’s… the parts and replacements aren’t there, and they’re a little bit out of technology, they don’t know quite what to mock up in the thing… well, to hell with it. And they just go abandon it and then they go over someplace else and pick up some new equipment over there. Or make some new equipment over there. They… as far as transportation is concerned it is a limitation which they will accept but uh… which they will very easily… can reject; they can very easily reject it. All right, now let’s get down here to this poor son of a gun at C.

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.

He’s… what he selects out is of course what’s being used on him. Now he… the whole band spectrum is available to C. An engineer operating in this society at this time can pick up, manufacture, use, do almost anything he wants to with any part of a whole spectrum of energy. It’s just that he doesn’t seem to want to play around with the upper part of the spectrum.

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.

It’s just as easy to make. He’s… he’s gone into this astonishing death datum. C, oh it’s important, C, he can’t fit it into anything, he doesn’t do anything with it, uh… but he’ll… he has to throw in quantum’s. Uh… whenever he starts using quantum mechanics he uses a… he uses a C. Well, here’s a C here and a C there, and a C someplace else. It has something to do, I suppose, with his desire to see it. It… that… it… I don’t think it has much other… other relationship because of this: every time you see C appearing in a formula I’ll be a son of a gun if you don’t have C, a bugger factor, appearing in the same formula. And you say, „What’s that bugger factor doing there? What’s that point eight six six zero eight nine ten doing? What’s… what’s that in that formula?“ And he’ll say, „Well,“ he says, „that’s… that’s… that’s the balancing, that’s you have to balance it up.“

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.

„Hey, now wait a minute, why don’t you just divide that bugger factor into C and find out what the speed is for the…“ „What are you talking about now? There’s… there’s C.“ C is sacred. There’s a god by the name of C and uh… he lives at one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles a second and an engineer in this life at this time considers that is fast living for anybody so he’s… so he’s willing to respect this god. But it’s not substantiated in any way that the fastest energy travels is a hundred and eighty-six thousand miles a second. That isn’t vaguely substantiated.

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.

You can conduct a few little experiments and give an accelerator ring booster onto a fast condenser action, and you’ll find enough data to sort of upset things; you can shoot energy out. Energy seems to want to travel; this isn’t any terrifically factual thing because we haven’t even played around with it. Just enough evidence to demonstrate what the score is on it.

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.

If you… if you… Energy travels at the speed ratio of its emission and if you emit… let a condenser or an ac… an accelerator ring emit energy at a terrifically brief period of time it apparently goes much faster. And then we gotta… we… there’s a… there’s a… a bugger factor in that and it’s demonstrated that that is the case and that a hundred and eighty-six thousand is very interesting if we insist on working with light.

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?

But of course the guy is impressed with light who’s working on this. When he’s born they shine it in his face. And uh… so there we have light. So at each one of these at C equally you will find some heavy MESTy old boy sitting around with a paint brush and so forth and he’ll be working really with aesthetics.

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.

Trying to work away with aesthetics, and you’ll find somebody else trying to work away with reason at that band, and using it, but you find that society has agreed mostly between what we would call the emotional band and the effort band. They’re agreed that those are the bands you should use. The thing to do is work.

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 it says emotion, emotion – boy, that’s what we need. Actually emotion is lower than sensation and in order to get emotion you have to recover sensation. So they’re using at that bottom scale just that little section of it. I hope now you understand this tone scale a lot better than it has been understood, because I know I do.

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.

All right, let’s take a break.

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.
