This is continuing the first lecture, but it’s Lecture Two, second hour, evening class, December the 11th.

This is the lecture of December 11th, first hour afternoon. And we have here a few little things, odds and ends that we should button up about this and that.

Uh… speaking about Rising Scale Processing, there is the second method of doing Rising Scale Processing. Don’t underestimate this method, don’t under-evaluate it. This method is senior to any flow processing or engram processing that you can do.

Got a textbook, SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008. And the actual truth of the matter is that uh… your text is a highly precise rundown – highly precise from the standpoint of very little space devoted to anything. The data is there, but has about the same adroitness as a Browning machine gun. It uh… just says, „fact, fact, fact, fact, fact, fact, fact, fact.“ And uh… it disposes of, on page 38, all past methods of processing, in the following paragraphs – 38, „Methods of running. There are many methods of running – facsimiles and handling ridges and flows. These have been covered in other publications. All of them have validity and can advance cases.

You can do this on anybody… for the excellent reason that they don’t require any information or any qualification of the scale that they are working. You get some preclear who is stumbling in out of the dark of the street and uh… comes into your brightly lighted web, uh… he shouldn’t have to be educated ad nauseam about what you’re doing. So uh… you just start to do this and you start to do that, and you don’t bother much, really, to educate your preclear.

„In the present publication there are only two processes which are stressed and these processes are superior to others published prior to December 1st, 1952.

Truth of the matter is, on education of the preclear, it’s really just a little bit of cruelty to make a preclear a theta clear and drop it. It’s just… just a little bit of a cruelty to do so, because he starts going up the line, he wants to keep on going up the line. Or if he’s not going to go up that line, he’s going to go in the opposite vector so fast, but you’re not going to have to worry about him. You’re either going to… you’re going to fix him up with some kind of processing.

„A great many tests have established the fact that two processes, both of them simple, produce far better results than any of the others.

You can get him with mock-ups and that sort of thing just as fast in the head as out for chronic somatics and uh… little abnormalities of various sorts; such as, he’s a cashier at the bank and he has this obsession that makes him put five thousand dollars in his pocket every night. Uh… you could get mock-ups. He’s just worried about money so you mock up making money and unmaking money, and spending money, and then getting money of various patterns and shapes and money the sizes of newspapers and plastering rooms with money and the body with money and weighing the body down with money and manufacturing it and tearing it up and throwing it away and getting more. And curing the scarcity of money for him, in other words. You could do that with great ease. But, if you get a person up to theta clear and then you don’t do anything else for him, God help him, really. He’ll move in, he’ll get in trouble. He wo… won’t know what he’s doing, he won’t have any kind of an education. And it’s something like… like uh… you… you’re… you’re playing midwife to a thetan and you get him born and you say, „The dickens with him; we’re not going to educate him. We’re just going to let him grow up like Topsy,“ only he isn’t going to grow anyplace. He’s going to fool around and stumble around. He’s not going to know the laws behind all of this stuff. And he’s not going to have any idea of what his capabilities should or shouldn’t be. And he gets enlarged and swollen ideas about how big he is, and the next thing you know he’s changed… going to change the affairs of the world. And then the only trouble is that the moment he’s crossing the Pyrenees he trips and falls flat on his face and he crawls home. Or he gets wandering around some place out in a much larger sphere and he runs into some place where there are lights flashing, a light hits him in the eye and he doesn’t come home.

„The title SCIENTOLOGY 8-8008 means the attainment of… of infinity by the reduction of the MEST universe as apparent infinity to zero, and the increase of the zero of one’s own universe to an infinity of one’s own universe.

You’ve still cured him of a number of things; but for… I leave you to… to… you’ll find out that you’ll be educating them. You’ll be telling them… you’ll be telling them very carefully… you’ll feel something like… like an old, old soldier telling the young recruit – something of this sort.

„This road is attained by postulate processing and creative processing. To run any incident or use any process, it is necessary for the auditor to have a very sound idea of what he is doing; and to this end it is recommended that he know and be able to use the following processes.

For that reason if you’re not a theta clear and you’re doing a lot of auditing uh… it… it gets to be rather upsetting to you to be telling this theta clear about what’s coming along because… and so on. All of a sudden he picks up and he starts running like a freight train and you wonder where the heck you are. And he just widens the gap. But he’s still not educated. He’s quicker at picking things up and all that sort of thing.

„Processing. The code, the theta entity, the entities, running engrams, running secondaries, running locks, concepts and feelings, running ridges, circuits, running live flow, freeing the thetan by concept and feeling, freeing the thetan by present and future randomity, freeing by dichotomies, freeing by tone scale, freeing the thetan by orientation, freeing the thetan by positioning and exhaustion of flows.“

Well, anyway, Rising Scale Processing is not a mock-up process. It is strictly postulate processing, but you use it on a rising scale basis. Your preclear comes in off the street. You don’t educate him. You don’t tell him anything. You merely say, „All right, now there are two conditions: Surviving and Dead. Is that right?“

End of paragraph. The next one is, „Postulate Processing,“ which is one of the things.

And he says, „That’s right.“

Now uh… it’s… it’s what you call… what you call the amount of space occupied here. There’s 38 – that’s about two-thirds of the page. Uh… the amount of data that really occupies that small two-thirds of a page there has been the subject of, let us say, oh, I should say offhand, a million and a half words, two million written words – something like that. And I don’t know how many words of lectures.

„Now, let’s get the concept of being dead. You got the concept of being dead? All right. Now let’s shift it to… towards surviving.“

Now if you want to go over this and look it over step by step, it is pretty important that you have some conversance with this, because an auditor will start running some sort of a… he’ll just run postulates and all of a sudden, boom! Or he’ll all of a sudden start running mock-ups. Or he’ll suddenly start going through exercises of lifting and Boom! There’ll be phenomena lying there. And he’ll think he’s looking at something that is just – oh boy! I mean gosh!

„Oh, yes. I can do that.“

„You mean when you start to lift uh… the lifting exercises and so on, with… with… with energy, you… you mean that… and… and the preclear’s got a log across his legs?“ And he’ll say, „That’s very funny. Log across his’ legs. Now let’s see. I know some about Freudian symbolism and uh… log across his legs, this is probably uh… ear envy. And uh… uh… let’s see now. That probably associates itself in some fashion or another as… it’s a… you said it’s a log?“

„All right, let’s do it again. Get the concept of being dead. Now shift it toward the concept of surviving. You got that?“

And the fellow said, „Yeah, yeah. It’s a log. The log’s. lying right here across my legs and that’s why I can’t lift one of my legs.“ „Let’s see now uh… oh, it’s a log! It’s got bark on it.“ „Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah!“ „Oh, you don’t like dogs. Okay here we go.“

„Yeah, yeah, I did that.“

Now that can be the subject of a long dissertation about the fact… they always start in this way. The squirrels are wonderful. They spend two seconds observing, uh… five minutes contemplating the glories of having observed, and then many months talking about the phenomena.

„All right, now get the concept of being dead and shift it toward surviving.“

But uh… nowhere along this track do you find very much data. And… and I would be the subject of many letters uh… long letters describing this log across the preclear’s legs. That’s… that’s right – I mean, this has happened time after time. This falls into the band of facsimiles and it would fall into the category of probably a past-life facsimile.

„Ooww!“ he says.

We were trying one exercise last night, Nibs and I, just fooling around, and so forth. We were knocking facsimiles into view faster than any auditor has ever been able to locate them in the past, by doing what? By trying to lift his ankle, that’s all. He was lying down, he was just trying to lift his ankle, he was fooling around with it rather arduously by snapping anchor points around – just interesting stuff. And first he found (you don’t mind my mentioning this) uh… first he found three corpsmen holding him down in a tonsillectomy and he blew them through the roof. And uh… then he found a log across his legs and uh… blew that out. And then he found eight times when that leg had been fractured, and uh… four times when the other leg had been fractured. And uh… that’s all back along the track somewhere.

„What happened when you do that?“

These… these facsimiles just kept flying off, flying off. Of course, he couldn’t lift his leg because of all these facsimiles.

„Something went ‘ping!’ or something.“

Well now, uh… the way he handles facsimiles, of course, he says, „Look, another picture“ and uh… pitches it out the nearest window, or… or uh… makes it disappear down the time track or something.

„Well, you blew a little ridge.“ You set him up one way or the other.

But uh… preclears that you’re working uh… initially don’t have this skill. They… they… they say, „A log across the leg – okay. My agreement with the MEST universe says if I have a picture of a log across the leg, then I have a picture of a log across the leg, that isn’t a picture of a log across the leg, that’s actually a log. Therefore I pick up the weight factors in that log which is lying across the leg and I pick up all the other perceptics I had and let’s not forget the emotion on the thing. Ah, I’d better feel like I’m dying. Okay, here I go.“

Now let’s go on to the next one. Let’s get… there’s a scale that goes between a gradient scale, that is to say, degrees of being right and degrees of being wrong. „All right, now let’s get the concept of being wrong.“

And you could sit there and snap your fingers over this preclear for some time uh… insisting that he get this log across his legs by uh… get it off or on and so forth, in order to handle the facsimile.

„Yes.“

Well, of course, you’re handling the facsimile to get it into position so that it can be run. A person who cannot run a facsimile is simply unable to get the facsimile into the position where it can be run. That is, he could not move a picture before him, behind him, above him, below him and into last week. You get the idea? That’s why he can’t get the facsimile to run – it’s very simple. We’ll just short-circuit all that. You… you… you just get the person so that he can handle a facsimile, or handle a picture, handle mock-ups and pictures in this fashion – make them appear and disappear and increase and decrease and turn upside-down and the content changed. And uh… the next thing you know, why you’ve got yourself a nice smooth uh… facsimile there that uh… can be picked up and thrown out the window – it doesn’t have to be run. If… if you can orient it to this degree, well why run it? The guy’s handling it, isn’t he? And if his handling uh… is of this nature, why uh… let it go. Increase his ability to handle it.

„All right, shift it up toward being right. Now get as close as you can to being right.“

Now just above that level, you’ll start picking up the agreements which are sub to a postulate but are sort of a postulate. It’s… it’s… a postulate is something the fellow himself makes, and an agreement would be his co-postulating or his agreement with somebody else’s postulate. That is, acceptance of somebody else’s illusion which would be, of course, delusion for him.

„All right – yeah.“

Now uh… therefore uh… an auditor who doesn’t know the basic manifestations and what can happen uh… can have these things sort of fly into his face and get in his road and upset him and all that sort of thing. They’re liable to think all sorts of things.

„All right, now get wrong – now wrong. Shift it toward being right.“

If they haven’t seen some of these things in operation, they don’t know they are there, and believe me, they’ll start to use an innocent little gimmickahoojit like… like mock-up processing. And all of a sudden Boom! Boom! Boom! There’ll be all sorts of phenomena. Now here’ll come… all of a sudden the preclear’s… you can practically see his hair standing straight back. And… and you say, „I wonder what’s happened? I wonder what’s happened? I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this. It must be some sort of an electrical disturbance in his vicinity someplace. And I just saw his hair standing up and – and uh… that’s very interesting because that lightning bolt that keeps flashing there uh… between his hands uh… certainly should…“

„Yeah!“

„Let’s write an article for the American Medical Association for this and… and say that electricity, when used on a preclear, is very bad because the electricity which goes through an E-Meter uh… seems to build up somehow and uh… gets up to the level of developing lightning bolts. And uh… this is what happens with E-meters and this is what E-meters do.“

„Now,“ you say, „get being wrong.“

You see, he could draw a completely different conclusion. He every once in a while will get ligh… get lightning bolts shooting around the place. Or he’ll just have some simple mock-up… have this girl – „Oh, you’ve got a headache? Well, have this beautiful girl stand behind your head.“ You see, you can use mock-up processing without theta clearing somebody and you can knock out chronic somatics boom! – boom!

„Hey, I can’t get that anymore.“

You say, „All right, mock up this beautiful girl and have her stand behind your head – you have a nice headache there – and then have her… have her patting your head. That’s fine, now have her come around to the front of you and sort of stroke your hair down on that side. That’s fine. Now have her move around to the side of you and put a green gown on her and have her pull off a small section of the skull, quietly and pleasantly, to find the headache. Oh, yes, yes. Now have her sew it up real good so that it won’t get away. And now have her turn your head back and forth.“

„Well, get the concept of being right.“

And the fellow will say, „Say, you know, there seems to be some kind of an electrical storm going on around here.“ What you’re doing is blowing a ridge like mad, see. I mean, you’re not… you’re not just talking about this beautiful girl.

„Yeah, I can get that.“

The physical universe says, „Agree with me! Agree with me! Please! Please! Please! I’ll give you the seas, the stars, everything if you’ll just agree with me and… and uh… uh…“ That’s its latter stages. Its earlier stages, it says, „Oh, you’re disagreeing with me. Well, I’m going to ruin hell out of you.“ And it starts saying „Rowrr!“

You’re shifting his postulates using extreme ranges. So you’re just jumping from the bottom to the top, ka-boom, bang! Ka-boom, bang! Something’s going to break.

Well, any one of these things can result in lightning bolts passing from the left hand to the right hand. Any one of these things can result in… in fabulous manifestations, which are fabulous if you don’t know what they are, and they’re really very simple.

What do you know? Give a girl… give a girl whose endocrine system is all shot to the devil an hour of this processing. Kind of boring – very little randomity to it. You just give her an hour of this processing. You just take your gradient scale here and, „Let’s get the idea of no responsibility at all. Now let’s get the idea of complete responsibility.“ You’d think she’d go down scale on that. She doesn’t.

So, when you start to do mock-up processing, don’t think you’re avoiding handling – you’re NOT avoiding handling. You’re not doing, mock-up processing in order to make these manifestations occur. You’re doing mock-up processing to make all such manifestations stop occurring for ever more until the end of time, such as ridges blowing, flows running, facsimiles jumping up and getting out of line, uh… locks being picked up, people getting upset because this and that happens to ‘em. You’re just ending this sort of thing.

It’s the scale… of course the MEST universe says, „No responsibility is the thing to have and full responsibility is very hard work.“ Nya! That is exactly in reverse. No responsibility is horrible! And full responsibility, of course, is a very light-hearted thing. It’s just in reverses.

Y… and the sooner you can bring it to a full halt… I’ll have to stop… stop talking about smoking brakes. Every time we were running an incident last night with Nibs, he got brake smoke because he’d stopped himself from going in some direction or another. Room got practically loaded with it. Wasn’t good lining he was using either. He’s had some kind of a scarcity complex or other – cheap lining.

All right, and then we get the… „Now get the concept of owning nothing. Now get the concept of owning everything. Now let’s shift it between owning nothing and owning everything. Can you get that? Owning nothing.“

Anyway, uh… the… the list of phenomena should be at an auditor’s fingertips and should be easily identified by him, so that he never turns a hair. And I’ve just given you here a… really, a list of phenomena which is covered EXHAUSTIVELY in past processes. It’s just covered. There’s just ways of running this… this – Oh, my God! The last time I got uh… a small count of the number of surefire, positive, handy jim-dandy little techniques for handling black and white flows, I had over 80 techniques.

„Yeah, it makes me feel sad.“

And somebody wrote in the other day and said, „You know, I have a technique for handling black and white flows.“ Boy, that’s just… that… that’s… that’s like… that’s like uh… uh… taking a cubic foot of smoke to Pittsburgh – just pointless.

„All right, now shift that toward owning everything.“ And you do that shift a few times and you come back here.

Now I have no doubt that there exist somewhere in that – in man or in beingness – types of things which have not been cataloged adequately, since this was not a cataloging job at any time; it was an action research. And it wasn’t a research. It was the first look. And it was just action – there it is, how do we handle it? „Why does he act that way?“ „Oh, here’s 8 reasons why he acts this way.“ „How many ways can we get to solve these?“ „Oh, we’ve got 52 reasons for every one of the 8.“ „Okay.“

„Now get the concept of being nobody, just nobody at all. Now let’s get the concept of being everybody. Now let’s shift between being nobody to everybody.“

And that was about the kind of research it was. It wasn’t saying, „Now, let’s carefully make a big, big catalog here: specimen 872 – Engrams when they are on the left-hand port quarter of the starboard side of the ruddy-rods uh… have in them, when they contain sonic perceptics, 1.682 ohms of resistance when in the proximity of…“ I mean, no scientist did this job.

„Now get the concept that never… there’s just no… nothing will ever happen. Let’s get the concept of ‘never’. Now let’s shift it up to the concept of ‘always’.“ They do… do that a few times.

See, that’s very obvious. It’s very obvious because there’s no catalog goes along with it. But there are frames of thinking which include all this phenomena. And you’re getting here, actually, when we take a rundown on this, frameworks of existence of phenomena. Something is going to fall in… well, if you find something it’ll fall into one of these baskets.

„Get the concept of being stopped. Now let’s get the concept of starting. Stopped-starting. Get the concept of having hallucinations. All right, let’s get the concept from there of being truth itself. Okay.“

Now uh… it’ll fall into the baskets of pictures uh… in motion or in black and white or in color, which are still or motion pictures. And uh… they will fall into the catalog… that’s they contain all perceptics and there are over a hundred perceptics in each one of these pictures – it’s quite remarkable.

„Now, get the concept of distrusting everything. Now trusting everything.“

And that catalog or that frame expands out, then, to embrace what? Energy. Okay, I mean… and we’re right there on the common denominator. And when we start to handle energy we run into the framework of space. And so it falls into these categories.

„Trusting everything… trusting,“ they say, „that reminds me of my ex-husband. You know, I could never trust him a minute.“

Now the second we look at an object – „Arthritic knee“ – we know that we will find on it dammed up flows, energy not free somehow to run, we’ll find the preclear out of communication with it – we’ve got ARC – he’s out of communication with his own leg. And we could solve this in several ways. We can just hire a couple of… of gremlins uh… and uh… get the preclear to hire ‘em, and string some telegraph wire uh… down through to that knee. Or we could install pump mechanisms and uh… and all sorts of things in order to get circulation flowing through the knee again. That’s one of the most interesting mock-ups is to get somebody working on something like an arthritic knee.

You say, „Well now, that’s all right. That’s okay. That’s fine. I’m very glad to hear about your ex-husband. Now let’s get that concept.“ Don’t get them straying off.

„All right, let’s mock up… now let’s mock up a… a pneumatic drill. Okay. We’ve got that pneumatic drill? Now let’s start busting up some pavement with it. Okay. Now let’s move the pavement around back of your back and start busting it up back there. All right.“

You know this theory that a person, if he talked along enough would talk out all of his aberrations is about as sensible as the… if 50 million monkeys were turned loose on 50 million typewriters for 50 million years, they would write all the literature ever written. It doesn’t say what else they’d write. Probably write Time magazine.

„Now let’s move it up above your head and start breaking it up there, and let’s change the pneumatic drill to one of these great big widow-makers, the kind they take cliffs down with, you know? And let’s start busting up pavement with that. All right. You’re gettin’ that. And you see it’s falling down on you. Well,’ take one of those pieces – now make it fall upwards.“ We’ve finally accomplished that. Put it down below his feet and that sort of thing, and then put the whole thing into yesterday. He can’t put it into yesterday so we go to some gradient scale and we take a toothpick and we put that into yesterday. We take all kinds of things that have no real value and we put those into yesterday. We make them disappear.

Uh… „Now let’s get the concept ‘I know not’, just the concept you know nothing. Now shift it up to the concept ‘I know’. Now let’s get the concept of everything having an effect on you – everything affecting you – just everything affecting you. And then causing things to happen.“

Then we find out if he’s making them disappear by dropping black curtains over them or stopping looking at them. Uh… and we solve that by letting him put lots of black curtains over them, and so forth, and still pick it up and find out it’s still there. You’ll find out after a while it’s still there unless he makes it disappear.

He’ll say, „I can’t get that. The concept’s too big for me“.

And uh… we… we then drill him, „How do you know you had breakfast in 1932?“

You say, „All right, get… get being… being affected by everything by only being affected by what you want to be affected by.“

The fellow says, „Well, I’m still alive.“

„Yeah, I got that. Yeah, that’s good. Yeah, I’ll get that again. Dom-Dom.“

And uh… in other words, we solve time right on the spot. The first moment that we find out there is something flukey about him making things disappear, we just go on a gradient scale of havingness. We… we get him drilled until he can have or not have a picture, or have or not have an object.

„Now you go over to being nothing – that you don’t exist, to really being. Now let’s shift those concepts.“

Now the worst gradient scale of the whole thing is to actually give him a toothpick, a MEST universe toothpick, and say, „Okay, you got this MEST universe toothpick?“ And he’ll look at it and he’ll say, „Yes.“

„Being nothing – really being. Yeah, I got that.“

And… and… and, „All right, now. Take it over and throw it out the window.“

„All right, now get the concept of losing everything.“

Do you know how many preclears won’t do it? They’re really psycho when they won’t do that. They’ve got a toothpick and it might have some value, it might be connected to something or other, and so the best thing to do with this toothpick is sort of stick it in your pocket.

„Oh, yeah. That’s a sad one.“

Some of them, real, real bad ones, won’t even give it back to the auditor. That’s just a gradient scale of things disappearing, you see. Time is just a trick method of making something disappear.

„Now shift that up to winning – winning everything.“

Time is havingness, and when time i… goes along the line you get changingness in havingness – I mean you get alteration in havingness, and… or you can make something disappear. Well, you get anything to alter enough, you can get it altered small enough until he can’t see it. And then you say, „Hey, it disappeared, didn’t it?“

„Yeah, I got that one.“

„Oh, no,“ he said, „I finally did it.“

„Now get the concept of everything being the same, whole thing the same, everything the same – to everything being different.“

Uh… that just… just run him onto that basis and then the next thing you know uh… what… what do you… what do you do with this arthritic knee? Well, it hasn’t got any circulation in it or something of the sort. So we take a knee uh… uh… any kind of a knee, and we put it way out there – can’t get a knee. So take an elbow. Work with this elbow until we finally take this pneumatic drill which he already knows how to use and bust… and then case the elbow in concrete and then break the concrete off the elbow. And just go through gradient steps like this until we finally have… up the line we finally have, oh, probably, great big pumps and uh… all sorts of prevention mechanisms installed, mechanical devices of all kinds and descriptions, doctors standing around in attendance, mechanics standing around in attendance on the machinery, uh… hot and cold running waitresses standing around to serve tea to the mechanics uh… all of this stuff.

„Yeah, I got that.“

And we’ve got this, and the… and the person finally says, „You know, the hell with this knee.“ You know how fast that knee will go away? Just blink… just in a blink, if you do it right.

„All right. Now, get the concept of… of… of being all possessions – just being possessed and owned entirely. Now let’s shift that from the concept of owning entirely or possessing everything or being everything“ – however you want to put that last line.

Yeah, everybody knows it takes a long time for arthritis to go away. But if you’ve done a proper job on the thing, it’s gone, „blink“. And it might come back tomorrow, a little bit of it, you know? Just take him and renew all this machinery and make it much better and uh… fix it up much better and they say, „You know, I can’t get any sympathy for this knee. Of course, I’m not so sure that I need sympathy by now.“

Now what do you do with this next? You go back to ‘dead to survive’ and you just go around in circles with this chart of attitudes, and running the whole scale. Now you… as soon as you’ve gone down to being had or possessed to owning or being, come around here and get ‘dead’ again, to ‘survival’ and ‘wrong to right’ and so on. Get them a few times each. Go around and around. And when you get around to the end of it again, start back at the bottom and shift to the top once more on the first one and the second one and so on. Just keep this up.

But uh… on its recurrence, on a recurrence of a symptom, you always can expect a symptom to flash back on the preclear once in a while. Don’t worry about it (the preclear will) uh… why, get… get this knee and put it up in a… shop window on Main Street and have all kinds of people coming by and looking at it and feeling so sad because of the knee, you see? And then put it there as part of an underwear ad. And have them come by and feel so sorry for this knee. And then have all the members of the family come in very carefully. And then have the knee crowned with a crown and set on a throne so it can rule the whole world – I mean, any way you want to go this way, see.

It will do this: it will boost a person straight out of a Fac One. It’ll just kick him out of Fac One. It is a manhandling process. It just literally takes this guy by his bootstraps and boots him up the tone scale.

All of a sudden they’ll say, „The hell with this thing! Why did I ever bring this up?“ Well, that’s right. They brought it up Lord knows how long ago, as a mechanism.

And you can expect such things as this to happen, not as a uniform result, but you can expect it often enough if you keep at this with this Rising Scale process, you can get into a state where all of a sudden, as the person shifts up tone scale they feel a sudden ping! in their head that isn’t any ridge breaking. They feel a shudder and a shake go through their whole body. They feel a sudden warmth and an action taking place in their body which they’ve never had before.

In other words, mock-ups directly apply to these things.

They say, „What on earth is this?“ They say, „I feel like something turned on. I’m… I feel like I’m turned on all of a sudden!

What are you doing to it? You’re really doing this to it: You’re taking a part of the body which is disowned and for which the person is not responsible. A person has decided that that part of the body is harmful to him and he has actually cut communications with it and will not let it communicate in any direction.

Things are kind of light!“ And so forth. Well, they’ll turn a little bit off again very subsequently, so you have to get them back and do this process for another half an hour or so again. And you’ll probably have to do it several times. And each time they really think they’re hitting the top of the scale every time. They’re not. New ideas turn up, flash through and they are shifting higher and higher on the scale, higher and higher on the scale. They’re getting wider and wider on these two concepts and they’re getting less and less able to get the bottom concept. Until one day you would say, „Now get the idea of being d…“

This is very silly, because it stops its flows. It can’t flow. How the dickens can arthritis dissolve if the various glandular uh… secretions and so on in the blood stream that pick up calcium uh… if… if they don’t uh… go through the area? Or if the blood flow is slow through the area? So you get deposits, just as a river when it turns a corner leaves silt. Now uh… you’ve got a physiological condition. First, you… you just got concrete sitting in there. Well, just don’t try to solve it in terms of physical structure. True enough, a person can get sick. He can get sick from bacteria. Bacteria exist as far as he permits them to exist. If he’s down tone scale, he’ll permit bacteria to exist like mad. So he has bacteria and everybody has agreed ever since Pasteur that the… all these diseases were caused by it. Sure enough, they probably were. There were other factors involved, but there’s still bacteria.

„How can you get the idea of being dead?“

The guy can still get chewed up by bubonic plague or yellow fever or cholera. Let him drink some water which has carefully had placed in it, as they do in China – I think they have little Chinese coolies around on all the streams to drop in uh… Asiatic cholera into the stream at so many… so many cholera cysts per cubic inch of water. I think it’s an awful lot of trouble, but I’m sure they do that, because I’ve never seen a sample of water in China that didn’t look like a menagerie, You look at it through a microscope.

„Well, you just get the idea of being…“

And by the way, the Asiatic cholera cyst is a fascinating thing. It won’t dissolve in chlorine. Oh, I mean you can drop it into a heavy chlorine solution and leave it for hours and hours and hours – a heavier chlorine solution than you’d dare drink – and just leave it there for hours and hours and hours. And take it out and it’s just as alive – fascinating. That thing has really had things fight it! And is it armor-plated and protected! The way you do it, you boil water for about 10 minutes. Don’t eat vegetables, though, because, my Lord! If you ate vegetables that had Asiatic cholera spore on them… why, you could spray them with potassium permanganate. That ruins the flavor of the vegetable but you feel you have to have green stuff. As a matter of fact, you can get so craving, the phys… GE can crave greenery to such a degree that he’ll even do that – he’ll s… dip things in things like potassium permanganate and hope that it’ll do something to the bacteria. It won’t – not the Asiatic cholera.

„I can’t get the idea of maybe something else being dead – not that very well. Gee, everything’s alive! I mean, how can it be dead“ They’ll argue with you. Their concept is changed to a point where they actually couldn’t recognize DEATH as any kind of a permanency or a state or anything else to be dreaded.

And uh… the preclear can get sick from this cause, yes sir. The GE has agreed for a long time that he suddenly and inexplicably became sick. Well he went into apathy and didn’t observe bacteria any more. There’s no reason why he can’t look at bacteria. They can shoot a guy up with penicillin or something like that, or make him well from bacteria and fever.

Their whole endocrine system is liable to turn on with it. The pineal – that mysterious, mystic gland of all mysteries – is liable to turn on. Fac One’ll turn it on – if you just run a Fac One. But you can turn on a pineal every once in a while with this sudden jump process on the Chart of Attitudes. Very worthwhile process. One that you ought to kind of write down in your hip pocket as being… some character who isn’t doing too well on mock-ups or you… you’re too bored to run ‘em on it or something of the sort, just try this other one and your… just… you just kick them right on up top tone scale. You’re just booting them up bodily. You’re putting them in the elevator and turning it on full juice and letting it roar on out the roof.

Of course, it is true that the bacteria can’t fasten upon him unless he’s weak in some fashion or another. But outside of that and the fact that you have to treat… treat a broken leg, and if a fellow has a tourni… is… if the fellow is bleeding to death, and pumping blood all over the place, this is no time to sit down and audit. Put a tourniquet on him. Uh… because uh… the thetan becomes inaccessable when his standard communication line, the body, goes out. Uh… he doesn’t if he’s up tone scale, but uh… this is not the preclear I’m talking about.

It’s that… actually that’s rough a process and yet it apparently… it does not handle flows. If you catch the guy wincing and using effort and using force on this – nahh, he’s not doing it. Or his postulates are so bogged down in the middle of flows that he’s just having a horrible time doing it. Just tell him to get just the idea. Just coax him until he finally will get the idea so he can sit there and think, „Yes, dead.“ Instead of „Yeah – dead – DEAD. Yeah, I got dead; now I’ll shift that up!“

All right, this means then that as far as a permanent structural goal is concerned, the devil with it! Don’t… your… your fella… don’t let him get operated on to have his tonsils removed or something of the sort, or teeth pulled on the theory that this is going to alter his condition permanently. That won’t. You see, this is a chronic condition – it’s something that extends over a long period of time, and so on. If it extends over a period of time, his havingness on it is, of course, very great. Right? So it isn’t going to be solved by tinkering around with surgery or something of the sort.

What he’s doing is, he thinks he’s lifting weights and you’ll see him strain on this – effort. He’s putting a lot of effort into it. You want the idea shifted. And you keep explaining it to him if he does that.

If it’s an acute condition, just had an automobile accident, yes, you can solve the reason he has automobile accidents. If he’s just had one and his throat’s half cut – sew him up. Uh… emergency surgery or surgery which is directly addressed to an acute illness – he’s sick – is superior to auditing. The moment he’s had the surgery, however, run out the whole incident and the engram. He’ll get well. He’ll get well much faster if you do it that way. So here’s an acute state of disease, and here’s a long chronic state of disease. Well, it doesn’t do any good, really, broadly, to address surgery and drugs and monkey business and all sorts of cures and vitamins.

But I saw this have a very signal and wonderful effect. This little process here – there’s an awful lot of stuff parked away in Scientology that probably never sees the light of day and possibly never will. Such a process as this is senior to running engrams. It’ll make a MEST clear just like that.

The Japanese are wonderful. They’re one of the most unhealthy people uh… well. And, boy, do they take vitamins. They… Japanese Army, every time you took over a Japanese Army base you… you never found very much in the way of cameras or anything else. Some of the marine sergeants used to go around and kick the gold teeth out of the wounded and so on. But uh… uh… they… they used to consider that somewhat valuable because the Japanese love gold teeth. But uh… ooh! And uh… but the only stores you would find around… you might find a paucity of food, but you wouldn’t find any paucity of vitamins – great warehouses full of vitamins. Boy, did the Nipo believe in vitamins! I swear he fed his troops vitamins when he couldn’t feed ‘em anything else. They would… they would skip the rice ration if they had vitamins, and boy, were they unhealthy.

You don’t just say, „Well, I’m a self-determined individual and now I’m going to be self-determined and now I’m SELF-DETERMINED, you understand? And anybody that says I’m not self-determined is going to get his throat cut! I’m very free too. I’m very unemotional! Grrr!“

You can actually feed a… an unbalanced vitamin ration where the vitamins and minerals are all unbalanced – and do what? And knock a preclear’s teeth out, knock his sight out, give him ulcers, do anything you want to to him by simply removing from the system the minerals and other things which are vital to a certain area. You give him an overbalanced ration – uh… let’s say it takes an awful lot of calcium to make teeth. And let’s give him a ration of vitamins, let’s pump him all up on proteins and minerals and vitamins – and omit the calcium. Huhh! The rest of the body is going to say, „Look, we’re rich and therefore we must have lots of calcium. Therefore if there’s lots of calcium around here, we naturally can build up everything and we can use the…“ Oh, boy! It doesn’t have any calcium, so it runs around – let’s see. It takes it out of the bones, it takes it out of the teeth, and so on. The first thing you know, the guy hasn’t got any teeth or something of the sort.

I saw Dave MacLean pull that after just 24 hours with Ron House. Gee, that was really a rough deal.

You could actually vitamize an unbalanced vitamin ration. I picked up quite a process by that, by the way. I figured out the mineral content of many parts of the body, simply by overdoses of proteins and minerals and vitamins, and omitted, carefully, each vitamin in turn and each mineral in turn. And would overdose the guy to such a degree that he was developing such a thing as scurvy. You can induce scurvy this way.

Uh… that isn’t the same… same process or isn’t even vaguely like that. What you’re getting is change and you’re operating change. And of course, there’s a third stage on each one of those and you never mention it.

You can take vitamin C, omit it from the ration, and then give him a TERRIFIC dosage of proteins and vitamins and minerals – with no vitamin C, no ascorbic acid, and in eight or ten hours of such dosage you can give him a case of scurvy, the like of which you’ve never observed. You can have his teeth just rattling in his gums. Gums all swelling up – oh, fascinating!

When you get the guy stopped to starting, you’re going through change. And in each one of these things when they get the center band on any of these, you’re getting a change.

And uh… now – now do we know that that’s vitamin C causing it? Well, it’s the imbalance and the inability of the genetic entity to handle anything above MEST. Do you think he’s a superior illusion because he’s so solid? He’s a superior illusion because he’s used a solidity that uh… he took out of a more superior illusion, the MEST universe.

So you’re just running up and you’re changing. And he’s going through… these two concepts have changing concepts between them, so of course they change. And the mechanism is hidden from the preclear entirely. He doesn’t realize that to go from stop to start you have to get up through change. He doesn’t know that. He doesn’t know anything about cycles of action, and you’re just setting up the cycles of action and running the end of the cycle to the beginning of the cycle.

And uh… he’s got this all stacked together. And you think he’s in wonderful… wonderful shape? Well, he can’t handle an imbalance like that. What do you do? How do you know it was vitamin C? How do you know it really went to the teeth? Why, sure. He’s got a bad… bad teeth now, hasn’t he? He temporarily… you haven’t ruined him. any, particularly. Now let’s just omit everything and let’s pump him full of vitamin C. Now the vitamin C is a sort of vacuum. And it goes instantaneously into the teeth and the gums and he will develop a toothache the like of which no dentist… dentists really ought to know about this. They’re pikers, I mean, with their drills and all of that sort of thing. They try, I know they try, and they’re good boys, and I know that some of those dentists that… that got down to the point of putting… putting spiked pads on their knees to put those on the patient’s chest. And these little refinements uh… that they’ve used – they’re still pikers. I’m sorry to have… they’d have to find this out eventually. But uh… you feed that guy, after he’s been overdosed in everything else – don’t feed him proteins or vitamins or minerals, just feed him vitamin C. And feed it to him fast, and feed it to him in great big doses like a thousand units, you know, a thousand milligrams at a crack.

And you’re reversing scale on him, and you’re turning the cycles of action backwards, so that in each case, as we look up here on this chart that we used in the first hour, second chart, we find out that your cycle of action is being shifted from bottom to top. Of course, it shifts all cycles. It goes through practically every cycle there is that is intelligible.

And he will develop a toothache that he would rather be SHOT than suffer. He can just feel those teeth as cracking and creaking and trying to go back together again too fast. Too much havingness, you see.

There is another cycle of action, by the way, I’ve never mentioned. It’s Positive – Current – Negative; Start, Change and Stop. It could be Minus – Current – Positive too, because they’re named wrong. We won’t worry about that. That’s an electronic guy’s dream. We’re not interested so much in electronics. We’re interested in preclears and human beings. Only reason we have to get interested in electronics to the degree that we get interested in electronics is we’re trying to pull a guy out of a force universe, or pull the effect of the force universe off of him so he doesn’t wind up in night court. So he doesn’t wind up…

And… and the scurvy will cure up. Of course, what you do after you’ve noticed this is just feed him some more proteins and vitamins and minerals, and they’ll take the vitamin C back out and they’ll tend to balance the ration.

You could do this just to that degree, you know. You can straighten a guy out so he’d be the damnedest homo sapiens anybody ever saw coming down the street. He’s not a theta clear, he doesn’t know anything about the thetan, he doesn’t know anything about this new technology at all.

You can balance him up and get him back to, quote, normal, unquote, again. But uh… now let’s take that… let’s take this whole formula with vitamin C in it this time – everything in it. And now let’s carefully remove B1. Oh, let’s remove B1. Yeah, that’s what we’ll do. This time we’ll give him an overdose of B1 afterwards. See, we’ll feed him up for about 10, 12 hours on all… a pluperfect ration of protein hydrolysate and all the fancy minerals in their most digestible form, no food, you see. I mean the protein is a food. Protein, and minerals and… and uh… vitamins. And we’ll just omit vitamin uh… vitamin B1 – thiamine chloride. Just overdose, overdose, overdose and this guy will all of a sudden be saying, „You know. There’s things crawling on the walls, there’s spiders, there’s…“ Oh, God! Has he got a wonderful case of DTs! You can fix him up quickly.

You can simply pick him up by his bootstraps and boot him up into 4.0 and say, „There you are, Bud!“ Don’t do it… don’t do it too long with these techniques though, ‘cause you’ll spring him accidentally.

Now… now cut him off all that other ration and right quick start shooting him full of B1. Well, he’ll snap back, but there are pyrotechnics to be observed there on a mental strata that you would be quite interested in. Because the way the pictures try to flash back into line – wonderful to behold. It tells you that B1 as a particle flow… as a particle is… somehow or other fits into the pictures of pictures, you understand? It says it has something to do with holding pictures in suspension. Or it ‘has something to do with goofballing up the thetan or the GE so that he thinks he has a big flow of something when he doesn’t have it. It’s upsetting. You could study it for a while, you’d probably understand what it was. The study has yet to be made. I just studied this other.

You keep up postulate processing… I dare say if you kept up postulate processing on the roughest case you had that’s so mired in you couldn’t get him out with a building jack, if you kept up postulate processing and mock-up processing for 200 hours, the guy would be outside and well-collected and in good shape. I’d say so, just offhand at a guess.

All right, let’s take that full dosage again and let’s omit another vitamin and we’ll find out suddenly that the liver on this super overdosage with one thing missing, the liver just goes to pieces – ha-wham! Oh, does he get in terrible condition quick. Now take that one and overfeed him on it and the liver just goes into straight agony in reverse as it tries to right itself. And then of course, balance it out, and the guy gets all right again.

I’ve never been able to run these things that long on a person. They generally spring in the first five minutes or the first fifteen minutes or the first hour or the first two hours.

It’s fascinating that the GE is so fixated on having to have certain kinds of MEST. He has… he’s agreed so thoroughly with the MEST universe that he couldn’t substitute B1 for C. Oh, no! No, he knows he’s got to have that crystal form B1 or he knows he’s got to have that C. And he does this purely by association: „What’s there? What’s been there? Well, we… then we’ve got to have that. We can’t have any substitute on the line.“ He’s still differentiating but how’s he differentiating? He’s differentiating along about this level. Is it a chair or is it a table? And he is able to tell which is the chair in terms of crystals and virus structure in general.

One guy really didn’t intend to be at all… he didn’t intend to…he wasn’t doing it. He was doing mock-up processing for an entirely different purpose. And he was doing the British Edition of SELF ANALYSIS. And he was doing it with a group. And after he’d been doing mock-ups for a short time… he’d been doing, I think, something like about uh… six weeks, couple hours a day. One day he was… a little tiny bit of auditing and he was out of his head – bang! He just moved right straight on out and there he was looking at himself. And yet, at the first session he got… boy, he couldn’t have gotten out with a sledge hammer. If you’d sawed his skull in half, he wouldn’t have gotten out of there.

He’s… he’s smart, see. He’s utterly dependent upon this stuff, but he couldn’t turn B1 to C. He couldn’t do that. And if you as a thetan are unable to do that after you’ve been in process for four or five months, you ought to go out and shoot yourself.

Uh… interesting difference: he had just used nothing but routine, the most routine of uh… of mock-ups. I mean, just routine mock-ups, routine mock-ups, routine mock-ups. And that’s something on the neighborhood of about uh… 45 – that’s about 90 hours. And he’d done it with a group. And he wasn’t good at it to begin at all – he was terrible at it. It was an unexpected result, because he wasn’t trying to improve his ability to get out – completely unexpected.

As far as matter and its basic structure is concerned, it is terribly alterable. But the GE can’t alter it. He’s not a superior illusion at all.

Now these processes, then, this shift up scale, the wide change, top – bottom, bottom – top. You could get yourself a flow kind of process here. Get ‘Being dead, not being dead’, ‘Surviving, not surviving’, ‘Trying not to survive, other people keeping you from surviving’. Those are all flows. If you started running that, positive-negative, the guy would find out uh… after a very short time, he felt like he was in the middle of a hurricane. He’d have flows, flows, flows, flows going in all directions.

You can goofball up the GE and the body in the most fascinating ways. But it’s much easier just to convince him that he’s been goofballed. All you have to do is convince him he has been.

And as a result you would be having a flow-type processing. He would go through lines of being frightened, he would get upset, he would get sick – lots of other things’d happen. And you start fooling around with flows, unless you’re going right straight out to handle nothing but flows, you’re going to handle that flow and exhaust that flow, leave it alone, because it takes very – a lot of auditing to get any result and uh… it will upset a preclear.

Uh… some time or other… some time or other get him into a very somnolent state and… and then drink some whitish powder and put some flour in it or something of the sort and don’t let him know anything about it… this, see – don’t let the preclear know. And he drinks this whitish powder, „Drink it down. That’s fine. You’ve just taken arsenic.“ If he’s in a very susceptible frame of mind he will lie down on the floor, writhe, and he will give you all the symptoms of dying by arsenic. It will be very puzzling to him why he doesn’t go all the way through with it, but by examining the structure of the thing at length, he will be able to take it and – „This is not arsenic.“

You start running a preclear on flows, you get a preclear who’s running flows and you don’t turn it immediately into mock-up processing, but you just let the flows run, I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. His ability to do mock-ups will reduce, just like if you let a preclear start using pieces of the MEST universe or pieces of his facsimiles to patch up his mock-ups, something like that, why, it isn’t going to assist him. He’s saying „The MEST universe has to be leaned on in order for me to have a mock-up.“

Well, now that tells you then that your GE can be hit on two levels – we’re not too interested about the GE. But he can’t be hit on a structural level… he can’t be hit on a structural level if the functional level is shot. You can do anything you want to an alcoholic. You can take enzymes, benzenes, methylzenes, magazines, anything you want, and fool around with an alcoholic. You can feed him sugar uh… you can feed him spice uh… you can s… make him stand on his head, you can train him how to… how to… that he has to live for two seconds at a time and no longer – you can do all these wonderful things – and you’ll still have alcoholics.

Well, he’s leaning on it quite a bit anyway, but if he starts leaning on it in mock-ups too, that’ll lead to most anything.

The test of an alcoholic is can an alcoholic sit down and take a drink and just stop with that one drink and feel all right. Uh-uh. He can’t do it. The GE has a scarcity obsession on some type of crystalline structure. All you have to do is deny him this structure and deny him this structure and deny him this structure, and he’ll decide he can’t have it any more. And he will take a substitute for it. And then if you make THAT scarce, he will become psychotic on it. This is strictly your MEST universe at work.

So there we have then the Chart of Attitudes as a process. And uh… I recommend anything that changes postulates. That’s even senior, you see, to making things, mocking up and so on. That’s way up the line.

You could take a little kid – now get this – you could take a little kid and deny the little kid candy. And deny the little kid candy and deny him candy and not let him have candy and tell him how bad candy is for him – until at last you have created an utter apathy on the subject of carbohydrates.

Or, if you must run flows, run the straight flow Agree – Disagree, if you MUST run a flow. Get Agree – Disagree, Communicate – Not Communicate, or Communicate Out – Communicate In. Or the characteristics of emotion – if you have to run them.

Having created this complete apathy upon this, you now make it possible for him to have the altered form of candy without digesting it – namely alcohol. And the second you do this, he of course knows that he cannot have, and therefore he can’t tolerate and therefore it is dangerous, candy. He KNOWS he can’t have candy – but he can have alcohol. And he’s so greedy for it that he’ll goofball. It starts in with a functional scarcity or a functional enforcement.

But it would be a strange obsession if you ran flows in preference to creative processing. Easiest way to run flows is just the way I was running them on you tonight. Very easy. Turn a firehouse in a guy’s face if you want to run a flow, and then change the firehouse all around – you think you’re running an electronic flow.

Now let’s… let’s just go the other way around. Let’s take the little kid and force him to have candy and we force him to have candy, and we force him to have candy. We make it possible for him to get alcohol. He’ll… he’ll eventually go into apathy on the subject of candy and you get practically the same manifestation. That’s because your… your vectors go both ways. It really doesn’t matter much whether you inhibit or enforce something. The end result is the same. Blank, and uh… apathy. It’s just an upset of self-determinism.

There’s another way to run flows which is quite interesting, is run invisible flows, and have him make out how he knows they are invisible flows, why he knows they are invisible flows and that sort of thing. Sound, you see, is an invisible flow. And it’s quite aberrative because a person can’t control as well that which is invisible as he can control things that are visible. So sound, therefore, has a terrific power over him that light doesn’t. And therefore he’ll lose his hearing acuteness before he loses his sight acuteness.

All right? The guy has a good chance of becoming an alcoholic. Sure, it evidently is physiological. What do you have to do to… to fix that up? You just have to fix him up so that you… he doesn’t feel quite so degraded. Uh… you return his self-respect a little bit and tell him he can handle matter. If he can handle matter a little bit and so on, he’ll come up the line awfully fast. It’s a terribly artificial condition.

It’s harder to control sound because you can’t see it. And that’s why we are very sound in processing words.

But in particular, let’s cover the subject of candy. You’d better not try to cover it by giving him a piece of candy, the first time you ever give him a piece, if you ever treat him… if you were to force him to have a piece of candy, you would just drive him nuts. You would make him quite ill. That’s right. You… he… he becomes sick. He doesn’t want anything to do with carbohydrate in that form.

All right – very early in the game – they’re sound. They’re made out of sound; they’re symbols of sound; you couldn’t see them, so forth. If you want to know how aberrative sound is, why that’s a test to make – which we’re going to go into.

All right, I’m not recommending that the cure of alcoholics be accomplished through the rehabilitation of the ability to eat candy, but that is a direction it can go.

Now, this kind of processing of actualities is nowhere as good as mock-ups, but processing postulates is much, much senior. And making a person mock up emotions and mock up various other things is much senior to any of the other classes of processing.

It doesn’t lie basically, as basic causation, enzymes or snenzymes or benzymes, in other words it has… it’s not basic causation. And you could stuff him full of all the enzymes and benzymes and magazines you wanted to stuff him full of, and he would not recover from his alcoholism. They go to the Keely Institute and then they come out, and then they go back to the Keely Institute, and then they come out and they go back, just for variety. There’s some crackpot out in… out in Kansas, I don’t know, he sells a patent medicine or something of the sort. Uh… I think it’s Menninger’s Cough Syrup or something like that – oh, Menninger’s Psycho Syrup, that’s right! And it’s made of some… some jerkwater. There’s…

So you do mock-ups as senior to all processes done to date, and then postulate changing as senior to mock-ups. And make sure when you’re changing postulates, you’re changing postulates.

Have you ever been across the continent? Well, there’s one… one place there… there’s – oh, you wouldn’t remember this, but there’s a place there where the train whistles twice, and – uh… yeah. And… that… that… that’s different from all the other places – it whistles five times at all the other watering stations. And as it goes past this place there, you might look around and there’s a little adobe shack or something over there. Anyway, they get… they get alcoholics there. And they… they take ‘em in and then they take their money and they let ‘em out after a while. And then they take them back in again, if they find out the family’s got some more money, and they let them out after a while. And then they take them in again, just for variety’s sake, and then they let them out after a while. And when they haven’t got any more money, this character Menninger then ships ‘em across the river where they go to the State Institution permanently.

Now that’s… that Chart of Attitudes there is all categories of knowledge that we need to monkey with at this time. It’s really all cycles of action.

You know, that’s not a libelous statement? You know that’s fact?

Now let’s cover a little bit about mock-ups. Now I can say a lot more about mock-ups, but let me… let me cover mock-ups very briefly here in this little sequence of the processes we are using.

Student: Fact?

Mock-ups are done by gradient scale and you get the least he can get. Don’t concentrate on visio any more than you would on any other part of the band. Don’t go goofing off on the subject of all visio, all visio and no sound; all visio, all visio and no emotion. All visio – no, sir. You get the emotions out of those things, this guy, and so on.

That’s fact. Uh… they… uh… he used to be director of the state institution. He can put any of these patients that have run out of dough over there. He killed a fellow recently… he didn’t kill a fellow. A fellow by the name of Hacker. This guy Hacker used to jump around all over Los Angeles and say, „Dianetics – down with Dianetics! Down with Dianetics! We know all there is to know! And we’re sane. We’re sane! I’m sane! I’m sane!“ You know. Typical uh… quiet, calm, reserved, orderly fellow. And uh… and there was a motion picture actor by the name of Walker, you know? He played Private Hargroves and so forth?

Use, at the beginning, simple geometric forms in preference to complex forms. Use black and white to improve color. If your preclear’s having trouble, look over the problem from the standpoint of space, because you’ve got to have space before you can have mock-ups. He might not have any space.

Well, Menninger had him first. Menninger let him in and let him out and let him in and let him out, and let him in and let him out. And finally after about six months of this sort of thing, they sent him back to Hollywood and then Hacker, of course kept shootin’ him all the stuff and shootin’ him the stuff and shootin’ him the stuff – kept him under heavy drugs. Of course, a man kept under heavy sedation, everything that’s happened to him gets worse and worse and worse. And then one day he shoots him too full of drugs and kills him, murders him. And uh… and under any code of laws – if there was any law in California – it would be murder.

This would be a big joke on you, you know, to be sitting there and you’re running him and running him, and he hasn’t got any space to put these mock-ups in.

And uh… everybody said, „Poor… poor Walker. Well, Hacker did the best for him. Hacker did the best he could.“ That’s right. Hacker did the best he could – kill people.

And the first rule about mock-up processing would be, of course, not what you give the preclear but what you find out the preclear’s doing. It’s more important for you to know what the preclear’s doing than it is for you to have a… have a large repertoire on the subject of mock-ups. Because you can turn mock-ups into a high level of generality that doesn’t strain yourself at all.

Now they’re making a basic, horrible basic error. They keep trying to treat structure without remedying function. Yeah. You’ll run into the damnedest books on the subject of this – oh, just wonderful – about how… how… how this kind of drug and that kind of something or other all effect this wonderful digitalic uh… uh… acafluence uh… upon people and so on. But don’t put it to use, or don’t test it out. It’s been run just like any other squirrel investigation. It’s been tried on two cases, failed on both of them; the notes were written up favorably and it was released.

But we could make up something… we could make up something called a uh… yeah, a routine. We could… we could make up a routine. Now we could do a routine with a mock-up. Now a routine with a mock-up might run something like this, „In front of you, behind you, to your right side, to your left side, above your head, below your feet. In front of you 20 feet away, behind you 20 feet, to the right side 20 feet, to the left side 20 feet, above you 20 feet and below you 20 feet. In front of you a hundred feet…“ See, you could just have this as a rising scale mock-up. „In front of you a hundred feet, in back of you a hundred feet, to the right of you a hundred feet, to the left of you a hundred feet, above you a hundred feet and below you a hundred feet.“

Now that’s… that’s historical fact.

Now you could, to keep the preclear from getting confused, you could call them uh… well, let’s be very original right here on the spot. Let’s just say, „We will have a five foot routine“ and that would mean „In front of you five feet, behind you five feet, to the right five feet, to the left five feet, above you five feet, and below you five feet.“

Now what do… what do you do then on this? What do you have to do to clear it up? You have to clear up agreement with the MEST universe in terms of scarities and enforcements which comes down at last to a craving, a shortage, terrible shortage. And it solves on this. You have to have it, you can’t have it. If you just ran that on any injury or obsession or compulsion: „Now you have to have it. You have to avoid having it. All right, you have to have it. You have to avoid having it. You have to have it. You have to avoid having it.“ And you just go on like that – it’s a process all by itself.

Let’s have a routine on ten feet, let’s have a routine on 20 feet, a routine on a hundred feet, a routine on two light-years.

Just sits there. If that’s all we knew, we could probably stand around and talk and have our… have our post in glory for a long time. If we just knew that one… one dichotomy. And an awful lot of this stuff like that. If you just had that one, you could work. If you just had… if you knew about what responsibility was and you just work responsibility and no responsibility as a dichotomy, why you could get to solve cases.

Now we could do a routine on anchor points in the same way. We could have anchor points in front of you, anchor points above you, behind you, around you, anchor points up close, anchor points far away. That sort of thing. But that isn’t as important, because there’s no great this and that on anchor points.

If you get terribly desperate with a preclear some time or another, and they’ve got some kind of a chronic somatic, just sit down and grind the damn thing out. If you can’t do anything else, just say, „Have to have it. Have to avoid having it. Have to have it. Have to avoid having it.“

What… what we would want in this case would be mock-up placements. It’s very silly for the auditor to have to sit there and do those. Well, if you wanted to educate your preclear, you could educate him into doing a routine. But remember that the second you get him grooved into a routine, of course he’ll be able to do just these things and no others.

Somebody was asking me the other day, „How do you solve being degraded?“ Well, you have lots of ways to solve being degraded. Mainly force – rehabilitation of force.

Yeah. So, your routine, with something that you could turn on and then once in a while vary – vary like mad.

So, how… how… how… how could you solve it? If we didn’t have any other process. Well look: If you ever get down a blind alley and you say, „Now let’s see. Now we’ve got a terrible case of ruddy-rodism. And no research has ever been done in Scientology on ruddy-rodism. And it’s a horrible, malignant phobia which causes traffic cops to arrest speeders“ or something of the sort. „It’s terrible, and I have this preclear and God knows, nobody knows anything about this. And I’m sure Hubbard never… never processed anything like this. And this is worse than anything I ever saw. The time the guy comes into the office, why he… he just sits there and I just mention ruddy-rodism and so forth, and he just sits there and he vomits and he vomits and he vomits. Now what am I supposed to do?

Now, you could shift it from the front to the right, now shift it back, and so on.

And I say, „Mock up something,“ and he vomits. And I tell him to mock up vomiting and he vomits.“

But when you’re handling simple geometric figures, you would be handling dots, discs, circles, triangles, squares, cubes, cylinders, pyramids – simple geometric figures – rather simple. Now get ‘em in all colors and get ‘em in all positions.

Well, if you ever get in that kind of a pinch, or if your wits just congeal on you when confronted with some horrendous problem, there is a common denominator of all these things, since time is the single arbitrary of aberration. This was discovered empirically, this datum. And then it was found out how it fitted. And now, boy does it fit. And that is Having to have it, and Avoiding having it. Trying to escape from having it – anyway you want to phrase this. The… the point is, it’s having… trying to escape from having it; now trying to force yourself to have it; now trying to keep yourself from having it. Just go up and down the line of Desire, Enforce and Inhibit.

Now don’t let me hear you… any of you having this kind of difficulty: „Well, this preclear can’t change things rapidly“ or… or „This preclear changes things rapidly“ or „This preclear – „ so on. That preclear does what that preclear does as long as that preclear’s doing it. Don’t try to rush him. And don’t try to slow him down. Let him hit his own speed. Only you make sure you find out what he’s doing. Don’t just sit there and optimistically suppose he’s doing everything he says he’s doing. That means that any 1.1 you’ve got your hands on would just fool the hell out of you. Every time you said „in front of you“ he’s thinking „behind him.“ And every time you say „below the feet“ he’s putting it in his right pocket.

All right, wanting to have it, trying not to want to have it; wanting to have it, somebody else wanting you to have it. Any time you want to run brackets, you could get fancy on this, you see. You could run a complete bracket, that is, to… the preclear needing it, somebody else wanting the preclear to need it, the preclear wanting somebody else to need it, other people needing it, and other people wanting other people to need it, and everybody restraining everybody from doing all those things, and then everybody re… forcing everybody from doing… to do all those things.

The best thing to do is run mock-ups with an E-Meter in the guy’s hands, and you just watch that thing. Because if he’s doing wrong, it’ll be too much of a strain for him and that needle will keep knocking around, knocking around, knocking around.

You could just play this organ in any one of those stops. That’s a bracket: to the preclear, to another, to others. Preclear doing it to somebody else, somebody else doing it to the preclear, others doing it to others. Another way of running a bracket: Overt act, Motivators, DEDEX – you get ‘em all. They’ll all come out in that fashion.

You say, „What’s you running, fella?“

But if… if that all deserted you and… and you found yourself creative processing, postulate processing uh… I… I don’t know where I’m going next. I… I seem to be in the Texas of a pilot house, and so on. And that’s all very well, but I thought we were on the Mississippi, and here we are in the North Arctic Ocean. And it turns out not to be the Texas uh… on a steamer at all but uh… hy golly! The thing looks like an electronics lab or… or something. And I’m getting awfully squirrelly too.“

„Oh,“ he’ll say. „Well, I’m… just what you tell me.“

Just look at the preclear desperately and you say, „Now you notice the obsession you’ve got there, you know. Now you got that now? Now get having to have it. Now, not having to have it. Now, having to have it. Now, trying to avoid having it. Now having to have it.“

And you say, „Well now, did you put that last one behind you?“ He’ll say, „Yes,“ and the needle will go „Wham!“

If you… that… that’s the only thing you could think of, it’d work. It’ll work. You can grind it right straight on out, because you’re working with time and you’re knocking the thing back down the time track, that’s all.

And you say, „Are you sure you put it behind you?“

Now if you get… if your… if you… your wits are just a little more fluid, why having to have it, having to avoid having it, or avoiding having it. Now trying to make somebody else have it, now trying to keep somebody else from having it, now others trying to keep others from having it. Okay, and back we come again to uh… trying to keep from having it, trying to have it.

„Well, as a matter of fact, I couldn’t get it loose.“

It’s just a positive-negative, see. Any way you want to phrase it, as long as you run the positive and negative on the thing.

„It’s about time you told me,“ you’ll say.

So this… this kid’s got a club foot, terrible shape club foot. Okay. „Get having to have the club foot… trying to avoid having the club foot… having to have it…“ I don’t care how many hours you run it. He’ll start to develop pain very shortly in his foot.

You’ll save a lot of time in this wise. Your preclear’s your best E-Meter… pardon me… your auditor should be the best E-Meter, but if he is, then he’s got to keep his eyes on somebody else’s energy all the time. And it’s a strain, so why bother with that? You can sit down and look at an E-Meter dial and relax. You could look at it with ‘theta-vision’ if you want to. You don’t have to look at with MEST vision. That’s right.

If you want to get real fancy, turn it white and then run this. Or turn it white and black and run this. Or any w… thing… th… anything you want to do to it, as long as you’ve got that basic fundamental – having to have it, not having it. And you could run that on a stomach ache. Oh, some preclear, you’ve done mock-ups and you know there’s everything this preclear can create and destroy and this preclear is terribly competent – well, of course preclear probably isn’t mocking up anything. Preclear probably sitting there, being very obliging, saying, „Yes, yes.“ All right.

But – uh… uh… you’ll have a preclear get disgusted every once in a while. You have to remember when you’re running a preclear, when you are outside of your body and you’re running a preclear, remember to keep your eyes open. He’ll think you’re asleep or something and he’ll get upset. Yeah, that’s an idea.

And you run him on the E-Meter and you say, „Well, all right. Could you create a cat?“ E-Meter doesn’t register. „Could you destroy a cat?“ E-Meter doesn’t register. You say, „Well, he’s all right on the Fifth Dynamic, evidently.“

Now uh… next thing you should know about Creative Processing is don’t let this guy get away with having everything going „Brrrrrrrr“ by, and flicker and flack and change and kid himself that „Yeah, he said it to do that. Yeah, he said it to do that.“ Each time, agree late, see?

And, „Destroy your parents?“ – E-Meter doesn’t register. You say, „Yes. Create your parents?“ – E-Meter doesn’t register.

„Yeah, well that did that because I really said it, I guess. I’m not sure… I mean hmm.“ Things random as hell. He’s not controlling anything. Yeah, he’s getting beautiful mock-ups. Yeah, it’s „Mock up this way bicycle. Okay, got a bicycle?“

It’s stuck. I mean, they’re stuck in something. They’re… they’re so monomanic, in one direction and one compartment and one department, they aren’t even in communication. And yet they’re apparently sitting there saying „Yes“ and „No“ – all sorts of thing. Boy, are they really out.

„Yeah.“

You’ll run into this case every once in a while. If a case is in terrible shape and looks awfully perplexing to you, you just haven’t… and you can’t find out what’s wrong with the case, just put it down to this: The case just isn’t registering. The case may look like a Three, or may look like a Two. They’re not. They’re a Seven. They’re just not registering. You can’t get them to do… you… they… they say, „Yes – they’re doing these various things,“ and they’re not doing them. And here they go, and they’re being very obedient. You’re working a Seven. Have him locate the room.

„Fine, fine, fine. You got that? That’s good. Good bicycles? Yeah, that’s good. Now let’s put it behind your back. Yeah, good boy.“

It’s liable to be with a great shock that the fellow will look at you and say, „I… God… gee I… but the iron bars do look kind of unfamiliar.“ They’ve never looked at this room. They’re trying to avoid having it. They’re trying to avoid having a body. They’re having to have a body, having not to have… not have a body and all sorts of this.

What d… what he’s got is… what he’s got is a bicycle which changed to a 1912 bicycle which changed to a little kid riding a tricycle which changed to an ape in a circus riding a monocycle. And he… this is happening without his consent at all. I mean, he’s got a bicycle and it’s going in all directions. That’s automaticity taking place, see? You find out if he got the bicycle.

So, if you ever get down… now every once in a while one of you come up and ask me, you say, „Well uh… how do you solve this?“ or, „How do you solve that?“ or, „What’s the specific solution?“ Now, if you couldn’t think of just running mock-ups, if you couldn’t think of what mock-up would fit into this thing, if… if… if that was too much of a strain on it, or appears too terrible to handle or something of the sort, remember that this other one always will handle it. Having to have it… hav… you don’t have to worry about flows. Just having to have it, not having to have it. maybe it’ll take you 24 hours or 60 hours to grind the thing out finally on brackets and various things on havingness, but it’ll grind out. It will grind out eventually.

Remember that conserve is middle scale. You’ve got to teach him to conserve as well as destroy. And if a person is having this trouble and he’s having it very badly and he really can’t control mock-up worth a doggone, have him controlling spots and dots. That’s the favorite. And „Put a dot up there.“

And somebody is asking me up here, „How do you solve degradation?“ Well, if you can’t solve degradation any other way – degradation is being big and getting small – uh… if uh… you’re uh… and that is by big… getting big and being small, and not at your own uh… request.

Now he’ll ask you all sorts of questions. „Do you think I’m just imagining it? Or am I… are you really supposed to see it?“ A guy that asks you that is really worried. He’s worried about one thing; he’s worried about hallucinating. He’s afraid that if he really sees something he’ll hallucinate. He… he’s… he’s sure of it.

Another way, people get degraded on the subject of sex because it’s – like the alcoholics – there’s suddenly a great scarcity of sex – terrific scarcity. So sex gets more and more precious and more more precious and they feel more and more degraded by having to have it. And at last they’re practically out through the bottom – crash! Scarcity. It’s scarce and they can’t have it, but they have to have it. And if they have to have something, they can’t have, it demonstrates to them that their ability to create is terrible and this demonstrates to them that they must agree with the MEST universe if they have to have it.

And very often a person who has had a great deal of experience with people who hallucinate will be instinctively afraid of getting a controlled mock-up. Remember that.

That’s why some guys spin in. You de… you just show them… show them a ring or a marriage licence, some guy or some girl or something like that and they just go, „Bzzzzzzzzrrrllmmmm!“

Hallucination is an uncontrolled, unwelcome, come-and-go-without – being-asked thing. And a mock-up is a heavily controlled thing, and if a person just imagines the concept of it or something like that – huh – hmmmmm. Because we get our next definition of a mock-up. A mock-up occupies space of the preclear’s creation. It occupies a space. It isn’t an imaginary’ picture, it isn’t something he kind of sees in his mind. There is a mechanism in the mind which will see little imaginary pictures. And they go by flickity – flickity-flickety-flick. It’s usually a circuit. Yes, it’s controlled to some degree, but that’s not a mock-up. A mock-up’s out in front. A mock-up has distance from the preclear. A mock-up has substance. And when you get good on them they have body. And you want your… drill your preclear about reaching over and feeling the body of the mock-up every once in a while – the thickness of it.

Did you see WINGS – uh… back… the old… the old production, World War 1 planes and everything else? They had some of the beautiful shot-downs there. I mean, the… the Fokker or the Spad or something or other would be shot down and they’d go down in beautiful falling leaves and trailing smoke and terrific sound effects and so forth. And finally, way below on the… on the grass, crash.

The guys have been putting up cardboard pictures all this time. And you say, „Get a cardboard picture two feet thick.“

Well, there are various buttons in people’s lives that are like a… a whole hatful of machine-gun bullets into the gas tank of a Spad, which wouldn’t fly anyway. The only reason they flew – nobody ev… really knew this – but you know that World War I’s planes didn’t fly. They just found fellows who were strong enough to lift ‘em up into the air and carry them.

„No, I can’t do that. I…“

Ever since… ever since… since that race sort of died out, why ever since they’ve been… they’ve been trying to get an airplane to fly.

„Well, feel the thickness of the cardboard you’ve got it on.“

Well, when you ask about degradation or when you ask about, „What is this thing about money? Yeah, money, let’s see. Money-money.“ Well, of course, there’s a lot to know about money.

„Ha-ha! What do you know! I DO have it on thick cardboard. Yes, about an inch thick.“

Money… Howard Scott… there’ve been some guys beating their brain cells together in this cen… century. Howard Scott uh… had some very interesting theories on the subject of money. It’s the circulatory system of this society.

„Well, all right, let’s… let’s just swell that guillotine out there to the proper blade width. Now let’s feel it the proper blade width. You got that?

Let’s uh… put it into our frame here and call it, „Money is the attention units of a society“. And they circulate one to another, and back and forth again. And that’s proven out by the fact they operate like attention units. Let’s say a dollar’s an attention unit. And actually where you find the greatest interest centered, you’ll find the greatest number of attention units.

„Ah, it’s a cardboard blade. I can tell – I can bend it.“

Now that person who can force the greatest interest, gets even more attention units because attention units are force units – dollars are force units. They’re enforced by bayonets, and they’re enforced by scarcity and they’re enforced by what they laughingly call the law of… of „Demand the supply“.

„Well, put a steel blade on it. Oh, I know, let’s have a real good guillotine. Let’s have a solid gold blade. Now feel that blade – you got that? It’s got depth, huh?“

Uh… and uh… so you want to… you want to have a lot of dollars coming your way? Be interesting. That… that’s if you want to be… just be interesting. They’ll flow your way. Wear a… wear an eight-foot hat down the street. One way or another, dollars will come your way if you do that.

„Yeah, what do you know? It’s got depth.“ In other words, work it out with him.

Of course, there is interest with repugnance, and then that means attention, although it flicks in your direction, flick off. Dollars won’t flow in on that one. They just flick in, flick off.

This mock-up has got to be better than anything the real universe – hah! laughingly called – can possibly produce. In the end, that’s the test of a mock-up. Is that senior to anything there is in this universe? Is it better? Brother, it better be. That’s all you’re doing. The MEST universe has been in contest with your preclear, saying, „Nya, your illusions are no good. You can’t create anything. You haven’t got any strength. You haven’t got any force. Nya, nya, nya.“ Criticize, criticize. Bark his shins, kick him in the head, fix him up. Get him to agree again; throw him into a snake pit; get him to agree further. Then pull him out and say, „You’re no good,“ and so forth. „We promised you the moon. Yes, I know. We promised you the moon. You can have the moon – it’s all full of grit. Here. You’ve got the moon. We’re pushing it in your face this minute.“ Crunch!

Well, you can’t figure out how to solve money? Having to have money, not having to have money. Just run it.

Typical, you see? I mean, it’s uncontrolled! It’s not his – his sense of ownership is bad.

Now this fellow keeps telling you… keeps telling you, „But how do I solve this body? I haven’t got a body – I mean, I’ve got a body and I… I’m uh… not in it, but I am in it. And I… I know this and I… I’d like to be free and I don’t feel free and so on.“ And you’ve just tried everything. You’ve burned up his body, and you’ve thrown it out the window, you’ve made it appear and disappear and he still can’t get out of his body. And mock-ups don’t seem to work too well and they’re upsetting to him that… there could be a bug there, you see. There’s the way he’s handling them. And he isn’t handling them the way he says he is. And uh… you’re not feeding ‘em to him very fast the way it is. And there’s an upset there some place – bad upset.

Well, let’s go to another step about mock-up processing. You know that if you were to put out eight anchor points and stabilize them with the preclear in the center – he isn’t out of his body or anything else – and just have him sit there and hold those anchor points – I don’t care how long – 80 hours – one hour – two hours – half an hour – I don’t care how long you do this. It doesn’t matter. An anchor point is an anchor point. There isn’t supposed to be any action in it and no action will take place.

It would be an application upset – a technique? No. You just have failed to sight whether or not he was really doing what he was doing. Or failed to start in simply enough so that he’s just kind of swamped and he’s going along and not telling you what he really is doing. You’ll find those preclears, by the way, in abundance.

You’ve given him some space. And the first thing you know the… the walls – there aren’t any walls. You’ve just put out eight points, you see, and he’ll feel this dark substance kind of moving in and out of them, and he’ll feel the wall kind of creak. He isn’t putting out any effort at all except to hold the anchor points. He isn’t pushing this stuff back out. And don’t let him start either. Let’s just de… de… feel this thing going on. He’ll feel his body sort of going „creak“ and it’s very strange. And all of a sudden he’ll… he’ll have a… he’ll very often have the funniest sensation: „You know, I’ve got some space of my own?“

Well, all right. If you’ve got a problem of that nature, it will always solve on this one – Having to have a body, needing to have a body, having to be able to control a body, having to be able to own a body, having to be able to protect a body, having to protect people. And NOT doing so, all the way down the line.

And he’ll actually feel ridges leaving him, and he’ll feel his breadth and expansion a little bit. And he’ll feel so restful.

Just the sub-zero tone scale, positive-negative. Dichotomies will cover that more thoroughly. So you could run these dichotomies back and forth. But what’s it boil down to? Having to have a body, and trying to avoid having a body.

If you want to know the way to go to sleep, by the way, just put out eight anchor points and hold them there. Beautiful feeling – just gorgeous.

And the guy running this dichotomy, having to have a body and trying to avoid having a body and so on – he’ll get unsquirrelled eventually on the subject of bodies. It’s a funny thing that that technique sits there kind of isolated. You won’t appreciate this unless you’ve really, really taken a look at it. But having this technique sitting there uh… isolated – having to have it, possession, or control.

The next step to that is to put out eight anchor points and hold them there and not let anything else be in it. But put something else in it. Throw a chair into the middle of your eight points. And then get it, finally, to where that chair doesn’t exist in the eight points. Get complete nonexistence of the chair. And do it on a gradient scale. Get a little matchbox to put out there, and finally get that selected out of. You know, it’s there but you’re not admitting its presence. And then finally it just isn’t there – for you.

Control is slightly different as a technique. Being able to control a body, not being able to control a body. Wanting to control a body, not wanting to control a body, brings in Have and Control at the same time. To own is to operate. You’re going up scale a bit, you see, when you talk about control.

Then put a chair in, or put something else in or put a couch in – or something heavier in amongst those eight points. And then put something very heavy in there. And just hold the eight points until it’s gone. Your space, see?

But it’s a very funny thing, that Control is better than Have, really. But uh… you’ll find Have is so intimately Time, that here… here are just thousands of things that you could apparently run quite logically – being guilty and not being guilty, being guilty and not being guilty. You’d think that would produce a result. Obviously, it should produce a result of some sort. Uh… being worried – you being worried, you worrying others, others worrying you. Let’s run that back and forth a bit.

Well, you shouldn’t make the decision to pull these in yourself, if you’re doing it yourself; you do this for the preclear.

You think that produce terrific results? No, that won’t. It just won’t do it. It will produce some results, yes. More spectacular than a lot of other results. But having to have and not having to have hits it right on the button. And trying to control and not trying to control hits it on a little higher button.

By the way, an auditor prevents the preclear from making decisions – really. If the preclear had to make postulates about all these things, he wouldn’t get well near as fast. The auditor makes these postulates for him and that’s perfectly all right. Can you finally see the mechanism behind that? He has to say, „Now I will imagine there is…“ or „Now I will mock Up…“

Those are two buttons. They’re standing out there very isolated and no other flows work like those.

And the auditor says, „Now put a…“ so he hasn’t had to postulate that it was not there before he put it there. The auditor says, „Well now, put it there,“ and he puts it there.

So, when you get all these techniques all boiled down there, there’s anything that’s worrying the guy and you have to run actual facsimiles – having to have, not having to have, if you’re so rattled you can’t think of anything else, well, go right across the boards on it.

And uh… so let’s get a… an eight-point space and let’s put a chair in it and a sofa in it and – a real chair, you understand. I mean, you know – this chair. Some chair – put it in there and then just have it there in that eight-pointed space, with those eight anchor points, until it’s not there, until the guy’s fairly sure that chair’s not there, until he’s POSITIVE that chair isn’t there. What do you know? He’s got a body in there! He’s got a body in those eight points. He can make MEST objects disappear. Well, he can handle the body better than he can MEST objects.

And having to control, or trying to control and not being able to control is a little higher echelon than that. Okay? Let’s take a break.

All of a sudden he realizes the body’s not there and he simply moves off as a thetan – negative clearing.

Now you could do this. You can sometimes set up the four corner points of a room as this, and you start doing it, and then the guy…it knows it isn’t his space. He’s using MEST universe corner points. And therefore he realizes anything can come into that space – anything can. And he’s liable to find gorillas and giraffes and wild elephants and dogs and cats and airplanes flying through it. And he’s scared to do anything about it, and he can’t move out of the body because he hasn’t got any space to move to. You’ve got to make him create the space by putting these anchor points out. You don’t mock up anchor points – don’t make that mistake. You don’t mock up an anchor point. You put an anchor point out. An anchor point is real. It has actuality. Just because it doesn’t hang around and bong against the MEST universe every way you turn isn’t any reason why you… why it’s not real.

An anchor… don’t get the idea… give the preclear the idea, „Well now, mock up some anchor points,“ uh-uh.

If you want to get outside and take a look at the GE, you’ll find out he’s got anchor points.

For instance, Nibs was telling me to get up – I never tried that for some reason or other. It never occurred to me. You start pushing around the GE’s anchor points, and they’re not like your own anchor points at all. They snap back into position – they move right back into position again. You can push them out of the road – they’re way out. But you can push them out of the road and they move back into position again.

So, what have we got then in terms of space? This is another method of space, another method of the body, another method of mock-ups. You could reverse a mock-up then, can’t you? Well, after a guy’s been running for a short time with mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, he can make mock-ups, gradient scale. If they change too fast, if he can’t control ‘em, for God sakes give him something he can control. „Little black spot on the wall.“ That’s black and white control processing. We’ll go into that more deeply. But black and white control processing – until he can hold it steady and he doesn’t get a lot of randomity in it. Give him as much as he can control and then let him learn how to control that. And he’ll get there.

And then you get a negative result, finally. You’ll get him good at… you’ll get him so good at creating his own things, that he can uncreate MEST objects in his area.

Well now if you were just to give a guy practice in mock-ups and practice in mock-ups and then let him get around to a point where he’s pretty good with mock-ups, just fair with mock-ups, and then you could run him into the… uncreating MEST. He can always uncreate MEST to the degree that he can create mock-ups – that’s for himself.

And if he can create mock-ups that are visible to others and solid to others, he can uncreate MEST that is observably uncreated by others.

A lot of times when you’re doing this, it’ll key in some existence as a magician on your preclear and he’ll start doing it all with black cloths, by the way. And instead of making something disappear, he’ll hol… haul a black cloth over it. And instead of making it, uh… uh… change or shift or something, why he’ll turn a cloth around or do something like that. You find out what he’s doing. He keeps talking about all this blackness in the area – he has some kind of an existence as a magician. Or he has used this blackness, and he’s using blackness to make objects disappear and appear again. And that’s no good, of course. Just give him his surfeit of black cloth. Just give him all the black cloth you can possibly give him. Just give him lots of black cloth, just give him lots of it. And then have him take a little tiny piece of it and tear it up and throw it away. And then give him black and white spot processing and control processing. And then give him black cloths again – lots of them. Give him… oh, just fill the joint up with curtains and curtains and curtains. And then have him make somebody walk through the curtains. And then fold them all up and sell them for enormous cost. And then mock up some more, and so on. Until he’s so damned tired of black cloths!

And he finally says, „All right, I’ll just make it disappear.“ It stands there, and it goes.

You’ve got to drill a guy in time. And he very often will use black cloths to cover up the fact that he hasn’t actually made something disappear. Something will be out there and you s… you say, „All right, put it in yesterday.“

And he’ll say, „Okay.“ The only trouble was he dropped a black cloth over it. It’s still there. He’s convinced he can’t make anything disappear. So you’d better work on something to make it disappear.

And if he really can’t ever make anything disappear, you give him a real MEST object and make him disappear that one. How does he disappear that one? Give him a toothpick and let him throw it out the window.

Now, in other words, uh… at least get down to some level of activity where he can make these things come about.

Now this uncreation follows… uncreation of MEST is a process right along with with creation of mock-ups. You can call it ‘unmocking’ because MEST is just a mock-up. That is, I’m telling you that because we’re shaky on our pins that we don’t know where MEST is. I can sure handle MEST – I’m sure you can too. But the truth of the matter is that you can take MEST away, in your space, really, surely as good as you could mock things up in your space.

Now I… I want you to try that. I want you to try that. I want you to put some anchor points right now a few inches below the floor. Now unmock the floor. A few inches below the floor – unmock the floor. Just get the floor non-existent. It’ll give you a funny feeling if you do it. Sure you can take the floor right out from underneath you. –

Actually, if any of you were really up scale, batting up around 6 or 8 on the tone scale with your mock-ups and so forth, you’d actually have a little trouble here. You’d probably have to take it up with John over there, and Helen, because pieces of the floor had probably gone missing – get thin.

Now the upshot of this is that there is a method of springing the thetan. The thetan is in a what? A MEST universe object. So you do mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups. That’s fine. Lots of drill. Hell, don’t forget that there’s another process. It’s unmocking.

Now, all right. Now let’ s get… put out anchor points. That’s spacation – getting him oriented in space. If he can’t get oriented in his own space, why get him oriented in… in… in MEST universe space at least, somewhat. Then get him oriented by putting out his own anchor points, and practice with that for a little while. And then get him into doing… doing mock-ups in that space. And then the next thing you do is put MEST objects in, actual MEST objects in – and unmock them.

He’s in a body. You see, it’d be the same thing – if he could unmock the body, he could move out of it. It couldn’t hold him if it weren’t there in terms of a mock-up. Just as he could move into one of his own mock-ups and feel its weight. Well, he could… if he could unmock the body thoroughly, he, of course, would be free as a thetan. He could move anyplace.

So when your tough, real tough cases, and so forth… you can follow this process of unmocking.

Now, you carry this process of unmocking far enough, you can mock up things that people can see, and you can unmock things and so on.

So your next level… your next level of process – another thing on this – your next level of process above that is use of force. You’d come back every once in a while and start using force. And get the guy so good at using force he doesn’t have to use force. You don’t learn to use force by not wanting… just… just by saying, „To hell with force. I’m going to do this otherwise.“ You’re going to have to go through force objects, you’re going to have to be able to use force; I’m afraid that’s the only way out of it.

And you go through this process: you have him pick up his f… one finger, and then you have him pick up two fingers, and then you have him pick up three fingers – using beams. They can do that very early in the case, lots of times. Have them pick up beams and then have them… have them pick up a finger and move a finger sideways. And then pick up the whole hand. And then pick up the hand up to the elbow. And then pick up the hand and yank it straight up into the air and throw it backwards. And… and uh… the guy is outside, of course. He has to be outside to do this.

And uh… as far as I know. I guess maybe he could lean over. I guess you could, really, lean over your hand and put a beam down from the center of your… now that doesn’t sound very practical. It’s easier to move outside.

Anyway, uh… you could go ahead. And you pick up the hand, and then you get so that you pick up the other hand. And then… and because the guy is free to move objects which he customarily moves. He’s very convinced these objects are movable.

Now after he’s picked up hand after hand after hand, arms and both arms and so on, have him pick up his ankles – various methods of doing this. You put up a couple of anchor points and put a line from the anchor points, down around the ankle and have it hold hard and then shorten the line. Or push the anchor points wider. Very simple.

Or you erect a tripod and lengthen the tripod – any kind of a jerry-rig he cares to make. He’s actually picking up the hand with postulates, but he knows he has to use force. And so you’ll have to use force in order to do that so as to get up to a point where you can do it without force.’ It’s going through the middle of the scale.

All right, when he gets so that his hand can be picked up and his arm can be picked up and his legs can be picked up, why have him pick up his body rather forcefully – one direction or another – and handle his body from outside. Boy, that is worth a lot of processing: a guy gets bigger and stronger and tougher.

But remember, in every case, as an auditor, that you mustn’t let him exceed what he can comfortably do at any one time. Keep insisting he do it, but grade it down a little bit so he’s always accomplishing something. In an all gradient scale – that’s the motto of the gradient scale – he must accomplish at least some of it. And you’ve got to do that. You mustn’t leave the auditor… you mustn’t leave the preclear in a failure.

I was going to say the preclear mustn’t leave the auditor in a failure either. It’s up to him, too.

Actually where you guys are processing each other, the favorite trick of a preclear leaving the auditor in a failure is one that ought to have the preclear’s teeth kicked in. A preclear ought to be very careful never to leave the auditor in a failure. Never come around the next day and say, „I had a terrible slump… terrible slump right after you audited me, and I went in a terrible spin, and so forth. I felt… feel much better because you audited me but I’m in a terrible spin.“

Nuts! The auditor will audit you again. You don’t have to do that.

Now… so anyway, uh… you start lifting a fellow up like this one way or the other and you get him very accustomed to handling force. Now don’t think just because he’s picked up his hands, arms and legs and made the body sit up and lie down again that you’ve really done a job on the exercise known as lifting. You haven’t done such an exercise yet. You supplement that exercise with mock-ups. You make him mock up something and lift it, mock up something and lift it, mock up something incredibly heavy and lift it, and then have him lift a part of his body. Don’t leave him in periods of long agreement with the MEST universe.

„Lift the body, lift the body.“ Then „Mock up a body and lift it. Mock up a body and lift it.“ Then „Lift the body. Lift the body. Mock up another body and lift it. Heavier, bigger, stronger body,“ and so on. You’ll find out that he’ll stay very well off.

Otherwise you’ll find his energy what? Declining, because he’s agreeing with the MEST universe and the energy in the MEST universe is triggered and rigged so he will decline the more he uses it, unless he also creates in his own universe at the same time.

And you can find yourself doing that from here on out as long as you hang around this universe. You’ll be in a good shape as long as you alternate these two things. When you do something in the MEST universe, do a mock-up. Do a mock-up. Do the ‘mock-up a lot better.

If you insist on handling things with MEST universe laws, and so forth, mock ‘em up and handle them with some other laws. Then alternate that. Here you are walking around 24 hours a day, agreeing with the MEST universe. Well, get in a few mock-ups – much more important TO YOU PERSONALLY.

It’s more important really – that low on the tone scale you may… maybe don’t see this – but it’s really more important to you to do a good mock-up than to do a good job down at the factory or something. It’s more important. It’ll work out in the long run to be.

So this lifting is quite interesting. You do your mock-up interspersed with – and remember too that when you mock up, why you have to go through the same series and sequences as always. But on your… on your lifting, work for speed. Don’t just get… work for force. Don’t try to be a barbell man, you know. Get down there and go „Creak – creak – creak. Look! Muscles! Look! Facsimiles!“ Same thing: muscles, facsimiles. And „Creak – and now I’ve got it up here and it’s only taken me a half an hour to get it up to my shoulders. And just a minute while we read another copy of Bernard McFadden’s latest magazine.“ And uh… you’ve… you’ve got that…

Now don’t get that at all. You aren’t trying to build a tank. You’re trying to build a fast plane. You want this guy so he can pick the arm, throw it up it full length, a way an arm could never fly if you were just uh… lifting it with muscles. Pick it up at full length, practically knock it out of its socket again, and drop it – disconnect! Learn how to disconnect. Handle and disconnect; handle and disconnect. And for God’s sakes, if you never do anything else in drills at all, learn how to disconnect!

One thing you never learn. You have to hold to „you want, you want.“ And all the energy you’re surrounded with says, „I want you, I want you,“ or „Don’t want me,“ or something like that.

It… it’s all saying, „Don’t disconnect! Don’t disconnect! Don’t disconnect!“ As a consequence, the first time you get your preclear out there and throw him… have him throw a tractor beam on something, you say, „Now turn it off.“ Yeah, he can turn it off. Yeah, sure. Five, six, ten minutes – three seconds, eight seconds. That’s slow! That’d be…

Would you turn some guy loose with an automobile who had a one-minute reaction time? He saw the stoplight and one minute later put on the brakes. Wouldn’t be safe, would it?

Now, would you turn somebody loose with an automobile who had a three-second reaction time? He sees the stoplight and he puts on the brakes – sees the spotlight and two and three. Boy, there’s an awful lot of fenders smashed in that period of time. That’s not safe. That’s a… that’s fast for a lot of preclears. They put a tractor beam on something, you say, „Now turn it off“ and the second you say, „Turn it off,“ it’ll be turned off about – one, two, and he’s cut it off.

Ahhh, he might as well take a gun and shoot himself, theta-wise. It’s murder! You mean, when a body gets hurt on which he’s got a tractor beam – for some reason or other – when that body gets hurt, he can’t get that tractor beam off? The second he sees the body is going to get hurt, he can’t get the tractor beam off fast enough. Because at this moment he’s rattled. He sees the body is going to be hurt. It’s… he’s rattled and he tries to disconnect and it’s going to take him that long? That’s why he’s here.

Out West when they used to bury a dead man they’d say, „A case of ‘too slow’.“ And I can look at all the cases in the room and know that I’m looking at a case called ‘too slow’.

Get that drill. Turn those tractor beams on… just put them on something and hold it still. You don’t have to move it. Just put a couple of tractor beams on something and turn them off. Put them on something – turn them off. Put a mock-up out here and put a tractor beam on it, and turn it off. Put a mock-up – turn it off. Mock – turn it off. Put it on a real object – turn it off. Real object – turn it off. Your own objects – turn it off. Real objects – your own object – turn it off. MEST universe objects – turn it off.

And then what? When you’re picking up pieces of this body, learn to hit and run. Pick ‘em up and hold them once in a while just to show you can get the persistence, hold ‘em for a half an hour. So, a half an hour’s nothing. They’re… just hang a line up so they’ll stay up half an hour. It’s all right.

Uh… used to do that every once in a while. It used to upset people like mad. Put your arm up in the air and just hold it there in an uncomfortable position, up like this. And of course, you’re not holding your arm up at all. You’ve got a line on it. It’s just staying there.

Or can you imagine anybody’s body staying in this position, perfectly steady for an hour? There’s no trick to it at all. It’s that kind of thing the yogis saw… saw some boys doing with dolls way back on the track and the yogi’s been trying ever since. All you do is hang the body up or tie in some direction or other and go off and leave, you see? It’s like tethering a horse. Anyway, uh… now, picking up a limb and dropping it is terribly important. Pick up a limb – drop it. Pick up a limb – drop it. You know what it works out to be finally? It works out to be you don’t put lines on ‘em any more. You say, „The limb will lift and drop.“ The limb will lift. There it is – very peculiar.

But you have to be tough enough with force to be able to do it with force before you can say to a limb, „It will now lift.“ See?

So you do that drill, do it fast. And then get so you can pick up the whole body, drop it down on the floor. I won’t tell you where to go from there. If you haven’t figured it out by this time, you ought to quit!

There’s one thing about this whole thing! Don’t you go throwing this planet out of its orbit! Now I can give you the names and addresses of quite a few planets, and I’ll even go with you in great cooperation, great cooperation on a very specific subject: I will incinerate and help you burn up pieces of country or towns, if you must, that you don’t like about the planet. But let’s not get so generalized.

Now if we’ve gone to all the work of getting a lot of auditors together and having a good exit depot, we can have this thing smooth as grass. That’s okay. You could put a nice cordon around it so anything comes in – a spaceship comes in – why, you just happen to be noticing that we’re going to be in trouble. Or an atom bomb comes over, or something like that, somebody would say, „Hey, look at the atom bomb!“ The fellow takes the fuse out of the thing – it’s coming over at 30,000 miles an hour – and takes the fuse out of the thing, and says, “Hey, yeah! Ha-ha! Isn’t that a funny little top? Hey Bill, can you use some atomic power? Oh, you don’t need any. Well, let’s sell it to somebody. I know somebody I don’t want to survive. Let’s give it to him.“

Well, let’s not go throwing this planet out of its orbit or getting fancy with it. You understand that.

Another thing, is don’t go putting the sun out. I know some good suns – you can put those out – lots of ‘em. If you’ve got to put a sun out, mock up your own. Go over, out and beyond and that sort of thing. Because once you’ve gone to all the trouble of orienting and learning the culture of an exit depot – well, you don’t want anybody messing it up too much.

I know there’s a lot of people we can do without, there’s a lot of thetans we can do without. I know that. We’re not even setting ourselves up as judge and jury on the thing. It happens that they’re completely hopeless. They… they actually wreck themselves on the whole deal.

But uh… just… good thing that two things are happening. That… that is to say that this is all incredible and that none of this could happen. That’s very, very… that’s a good thing. It makes it whether you want it or not. I stand here and I… I’m telling you two varieties of data. And one of those varieties of data is the actual scientific datum which has been dug up out of this universe and out of all universes. That’s the… the specific datum, and it’s application to the homo sapiens and beings in this MEST universe. And that data you can be darned sure of.

Next is the data… I… it’s not data. Next is my opinions. Hell’s bells. I reward myself for my labors by having opinions.

Uh… just separate out those two things. Don’t separate out on the thing that Scientology’s one thing, Hubbard’s another. You say, „You know, Dianetics is one thing, Hub…“ That’s old Art Seppos, the old… flatulence… the old… the old stupid bum! He… every copy of the first book that sold he lost a little more control of his publishing company. He wanted to walk in and buy it for two thousand bucks. When he got through, the publishing company was worth a hundred thousand bucks.

So he fixed up a preface and all sorts of things so the book wouldn’t sell, and he wouldn’t distribute it or anything else. He was having cat fits two-and-a-half years ago because that book made a pauper out of him. He couldn’t buy the company that published the book. He was only the president of the company. Oh, boy! And he used to tell people that. Anything he could do – he once called trans-continental to San Francisco to tell the „San Francisco Chronicle“ what a horrible fellow I was. It was the opening night of a lecture there. And… we’ve had some real squirrels here on Earth. You’ve got no idea.

But the point I’m making is… is… he didn’t go in for that, but just… just modify the thing like this: There’s a lot of viewpoints that I have that you might not have at all. If I have a lot of axes to grind, they’re very obvious axes – extremely obvious.

Uh… and they actually don’t influence this data at all. What I give you as fact is fact. What I give you as opinion – you’re welcome to it or not as the case may be. But I’m not asking you to agree with me. For God’s sakes, don’t do that! Just go look.

Goodnight.
