Throughout the world of man you will find very many pleasant things occurring. And man isn't all bad, not quite. Business isn't entirely crooked and so on, not quite. I found an honest businessman once. He lived in China. He was back - in a little back town in China. And I sent him some currency one time and told him to send me a couple of pieces of jewelry and he did. And there was no receipt involved for the currency or anything. I mean, he actually sent them and so forth. That's honest business. Of course, I wouldn't strain that one too far. I wouldn't look here in America and make that crack.

But man in all of his behavior is being supported at this time by a few fairly high-level thetans that kind of keep things in line. Well, these fellows don't even know what they're doing. Every once in a while somebody comes along and - most of them, they don't know what they're doing. They're trying to hold up a cultural level. But one by one, back along the track, these boys have been getting yanked in and pushed deeper.

This morning - had a happy little thought this morning. You know Alley Oop in the comic strips, how he dashes around in time travel to various civilizations and so forth? Well, a very, very pleasant little game to play is to just consider yourself from that viewpoint, you see, and start looking at this society. It's very amusing.

Randomity in the past was very good - randomity in the last part of the first thousand years since the end of the Roman Empire, along about 800, 900 A.D., there was still quite a bit of randomity. That was because nobody who amounted to anything was going back through the screens. And you had some fellow who was the king, and so forth, and he was a pretty good thetan. And you had somebody who was a baron or something of the sort. These boys hung around this way. They seldom went into the church, but they would play around at that level. So you had an actual divine rule by families. You see, you could - king could count on the fact that it was probably his grandpop in his boy. You know? The guy - the guy hadn't - didn't go back through the Martian screens or he didn't get messed up in any fashion and he came in and he got born and he was, I mean, he took the body that was offered and bapped the hell out of anything else that was trying to get it. And along about the second or third year, why, some nurse would say to him, "Now eat your cereal." And he would be saying, "Did you add 'Your Royal Highness' to that? No? Footman, ten lashes!" You know, three, two. I mean, they had really imperial ideas. You don't find that sort of thing happening.

Picked up a dime this morning with the head of somebody on it, and it was obviously a king. The date on it was 1935 so obviously this country had a king in 1935, so obviously there's been a revolution, you see, and so on. And so I think I'd better ask a few people about the revolution in this country. Obviously, there was a king in 1935 - he had his head on a coin. And we don't have one now. It's a "general" somebody or other.

At that time you still had a lot of thetans who were flying around Earth who were not in bodies. They'd pick up one occasionally or guide it around. You had thetans that were still playing "King of the Wood." You had actual temples which had actual spirits with them. You had phenomena occurring which was miraculous. And in short, man was a bit burdened by the fact that thetans like randomity.

Well, generals ordinarily succeed rules, and so forth, so it must have been a palace revolution. Probably the captain of the guard or something of the sort. And if you ever feel terribly bored with the terrific seriousness of this society just pick up some bric-a-brac on it and just start to extrapolate and try to figure out what the society is all about. And what do you know, you come up with much better history and much better purposes than are presented to you.

But life was interesting. Life was very interesting all the way across the boards, But it was too interesting for some and gradually the Martian screens got very, very efficient. I doubt there are very many thetans here on Earth today who aren't making a routine trip, life to life. We're really getting "Arslycusified" here on Earth. And you don't have Apaches. Amongst the Apaches, now, you find it rather routine, nobody has picked up the - nobody has picked up the Apaches to amount to anything.

Well, this morning, now that you know all there is to know on the subject of Spacation, there's hardly anything I have to offer at all. Of course, it does happen that the last few weeks we seem to have been going over an awful lot of other stuff that probably should fit in someplace, but naturally this Spacation in a rote process - we obviously don't need it, so we will go into the rest of Spacation this morning.

And you go find an Apache and you say, "All right. Now let's remember a time when you were up on that bluff;" or something of the sort.

And I have to kind of keep tabs on what we're doing here a little bit and once in a while I write it down on a piece of paper. Sometimes I even put the piece of paper down here on the desk and sometimes even read it.

And he'd say, "Yes."

Let's look immediately at a couple of facts with - regarding anchor points. And let's correlate anchor points and attention for a change. And we will find immediately that attention falls into two categories which is "too much" and "not enough." The norm has not been discovered in this universe yet; that is to say, the ideal (pardon me) has not been discovered in this universe yet but one of these days somebody will discover the ideal amount of attention past, present and future and will - of course, the universe will stop moving then. Because the only way you really get any randomity, I mean, randomity immediately into attention, is to have plus attention or minus attention. You either have too much attention or too little attention on something or not on something.

And you say, "When?"

So we find out that our thetan - he is brought up and exteriorized, and he just goes along beautifully up to the point where he discovers once again he has too little attention.

"Oh, it was a couple of lifetimes ago I was up there."

This morning somebody was telling me about what is the significance of this. A car appeared where no car was. The next thing the pc knew he was standing there with his hand on the fender of the can. It stopped but it took a long time. He had to jump up somebody's control centers or do something of this sort in order to get the car to stop. But anyway, it came to him as a shock. He didn't know quite what was on the time track immediately back of this.

Routine, utterly routine.

Well, I'll tell you what was on the time track immediately in back of this - of course, I wouldn't evaluate for him, so he'd better put his fingers over his ears for a moment. But it was - it was just minus attention, too little attention.

And you say, "All right. Well, now, how far back can you remember?"

Now, it doesn't matter whether the car appeared by supernatural means, he still - he still should have been able to have enough attention to detect the super-naturally appearing car before it appeared. You see how obvious this is. So, nearly anybody running in this society today is running on minus attention.

"Well, yeah."

Now, you start to ask somebody to get attention and what do we run into? We run into the fact that it's awareness, and that is debarred to him by pain and the pain of the situation is intolerable, so his answer to that is to be unconscious.

You say, "What have you got there?"

What is "unconscious?" Unconscious is minus attention, minus randomity. It's also the end product of no-responsibility.

"Oh, I killed a couple of US troopers. Gee." That sort of a reaction.

Now, no-responsibility and unconsciousness and too little attention are, of course, all lumped up into the subject of too few anchor points or not enough attention to anchor points.

What's his level of reality on it? Same level of - probably a better level of reality than most Americans eating breakfast. They're recalling back three, four, five lives at a crack. In back of that the scenery is altered so much that it's become unimportant. It's just the scenery itself that has messed up their memory bank. Get the idea? There's nothing to refer to so that you would have to handle them with mock-ups, and so on.

So, all this starts to look a little more intelligible, I hope, because anchor points are completely unnecessary unless you're going to put some attention around because you wouldn't care whether there was any space there or not unless you wanted to do something with attention.

Well, now, this wipeout between lives is a pretty, pretty terrific snarl. But you start up a great deal of thetan activity here on Earth again and you're going to get lots of randomity.

But you try to turn on some preclear's attention and turn up his attention units a little bit higher and this is going to turn up his awareness, which is going to turn up immediately his consciousness, which is going to bring him into expanding lines and as they expand - because you're going to get him into more space, you see? So his anchor points are going to start going out from him; he's going to have more space. And the next thing we know we are into a situation whereby he hurts. So he immediately turns down the volume control on attention which brings him back to a comfortable amount of space. He has to have a comfortable amount of space because he doesn't have enough attention. See?

Civilizations have existed on Earth which were very pleasant civilizations. There have been very pleasant things to do on Earth. People have been happy on Earth. War was not always a depersonalized, you-get-drafted situation but was very often a lot of fun. Greek war: "Well, I got killed fighting Sparta last time." It was fabulous.

What is a comfortable state of mind? Well, it would be: have just enough space to be taken care of by the amount of attention which you were able to put out.

Now why these boys never put more of their own information down on paper or left it coming along the track is not a mystery. The information's been carefully destroyed - carefully destroyed - by the one organization which was supposed to be keeping it alive, corrupting it the whole distance.

Now, we wonder why these cases get very upset and very fidgety, and so forth, when we try to change their perception level. Because perception, of course, and the subject of anchor points is the subject of attention, is the subject of unconsciousness and consciousness and sensation and effort and all the rest of it, and we wind it all up there together rather neatly. And we see that we try to push this fellow's attention units out any distance - nuhah! His anchor points expanding is something he can't tolerate.

Now, let's watch what's happened to Dianetics and Scientology. People have just been breathless trying to get some kind of a claim on being authoritarian in Dianetics and Scientology so they could turn it into buffoonery of some sort or another. There hasn't been a person - and I know a couple of places in the US which still profess to have some claim to this. They expect me to go into a fight on the subject all the time. That's real interesting. Somebody comes in every once in a while, says, "Why don't you do something about this?" And I had to think for a while to figure out why I should do something about this. And then I figured out that it was because they thought I should do something about this.

So, that you find a case that's being very comfortable on one cubic micro-millimeter of space - the average person - you find him being comfortable with that and all of a sudden you start pulling his attention units out - his - pardon me, by pulling his anchor point units. And you start to pull these out and he doesn't like that. Well, that's ridicule is the way he expresses it emotionally and you start pulling somebody's anchor points out, very fast, see, and that's loss. And you pull them out slowly and hold them, that's ridicule.

But anyway, these places aren't even vaguely handing along any information on the subject although still professing themselves to be madly devoted to Dianetics; not even vaguely handing out anything. They hand out the basic law of survive and they hand out the dynamics. Then they run two or three other laws in there that don't have anything to do with this, see? And then that sort of flips things. And then they take an AP&A; and they've taken Postulate Processing and turned it around, one way or the other, so it's not quite workable. And the people going through those places are - this is not propaganda, I mean this is just a demonstration point of this lecture are being sent to spinbins all too often. It's not for your operating information. That's just a demonstration of what happens any time you try to put out information along a line which will bring up and represent a greater freedom.

If you - really, ridicule is to pull them out slowly, hold them there and let the next few pile up before he notices it. Then that's ridicule.

A greater freedom. Every time you mention a greater freedom, you mention with the same words - you mention, to most people, a greater terror. They think security actually lies in being completely chained down.

I mean, you can take any case that has too little attention and start to extend his anchor points and he'll become very restless unless you use just Anchor Point Processing. He gets nervous, upset; he gets the feeling like he's being ridiculed.

But none of the data which should be handed forward on the line of the spirit, the soul, what you do after this life, or anything of the sort, is being handed along by those allegedly responsible for it. And the people at this present time doing that, and for the last many hundreds of years who were doing that, haven't even known they were being irresponsible.

And if you were to suddenly let go of the anchor points - "Yeah, all right," he says, "yap-yap-yap, I don't want to be processed" and so forth. "I'm from tone 5 to 8 on the Tone Scale and I don't need to be processed," and so forth.

I doubt anybody has even dragged up There's still some of the dialogue - the dialogues of Plato are still in existence which cover, to some slight degree, Theta Clearing. And Homer is still in existence and it just beats it to death!

Well, just the threat that you're an auditor and are - possibly might give him a Straightwire question is sometimes enough for one of these people. And if you want to know what a sudden antagonistic reaction to you or Scientology amounts to, it's just that: You might ask him a question; you might do something; you're dangerous. So he goes into an immediate barrage of protection. He's trying to use you as an anchor point and then hold you off That's quite a trick. And so in trying to shove you away his antagonism, of course, is just shotgunning all over the place.

And yet this is all - until just about sixty, seventy years ago, Troy had never existed. Everybody was being very careful about the fact that Troy had never even... I don't know how on earth they could have missed Troy's existence because it's the only place that you would have put a town. And there were seven Troys or nine Troys (I think they've gotten up to now). And how people would say there was no town there was more than I can figure out. Is it nine now?

Now, you come up and you say, "There's a subject, Scientology, and it's been doing things for people and we can probably do something about your wife's obsession with tiddlywinks," something like that.

Audience: Fourteen.

And you immediately are taken aback by the fact that the fellow says, "Oh! One of them quack things, huh?" Well, where did that reaction come from? He suddenly realized that somebody might do something to expand his anchor points.

Oh, they've now got down to fourteen. I haven't watched them digging lately.

And then - and then you say, "Well, all right. If we don't want to talk about it - well, that's perfectly all right with me if you don't want to talk about it."

Well, it just shows you here that we're putting out at this moment, at this very instant, a piece of information which should have been carried along for a long time. But I'm afraid you would have to go back pre-Earth to get this data, because thetans didn't have this data by which to prevent their going through these screens and taking care of situations that they should have been taking care of. So they'd evidently forgotten that they knew, but they didn't even hand forward their own existence in a form that could have been of any help to anybody here.

Then he really gets kind of sore. Why? You betrayed him. How did you betray him? Well, you - this is his level of ridicule and betrayal, you see. You might have pulled something out of him and now you have shoved back in the possibility that you might have pulled something out. See how completely nebulous it is? And so, he's betrayed. "Yes, I knew one of those auditors once. He didn't do me any good at all. I talked to him for over thirty seconds." That's about the way it works, you see? I mean, just the threat of something coming out or coming in.

I don't know how far on the track you'd have to go back for the definition of space. It's the only thing you're looking for. It's all you're looking for. How far back do you have to go on the track for a definition of space? You won't find it in any electronic society or any space opera. That's the last thing they would hand out to a space technician: a definition of space - with a viewpoint in it? Oh, no. No, we know viewpoints don't exist.

Well, people go forward into the future to anticipate the behavior of anchor points because they know very well that they cannot regulate the behavior of anchor points because they can't control anchor points. This they're convinced of.

So, in short, they had other definitions of space. There are more workable, materialistic definitions of space than they have now, by the way. You can actually do fantastic things with space if you just work with anchor points. But if you don't have any viewpoint in there to represent it, you never get humanity out of it. And that's why science never leads to humanity; why science only leads to a destruction, war, enslavement.

Well, how do we tie attention, then, in with this and what does it do for a case?

The condemnation of science is long overdue and, what do you know, has already occurred on the European continent and has occurred even in a more advanced state in England. Today the word science is so bad that when I started calling what we're doing Scientology I got in to a minor revolution. It wasn't anything but the fact that the English people today believe that science has let them down but thoroughly. And anything with science connected with it is something they rather smile sarcastically about. It's not that they're interested in humanity. They just know science doesn't work. And what do you know, they're drawing right back out of science. They are not following scientific method worth a nickel.

You'll always find that a case has his attention on an anchor point or a class of anchor points. And this is what we know as the play I was talking about yesterday; everyone of them's playing a play. Well, what play is it? It's "What I'm doing with my anchor points at the moment," is the name - the real name of the play. But he has some sort of a pattern which he's trying to maintain. He has his attention too fixed or too dispersed.

What's this got to do with what I'm telling you? It's because what I'm telling you doesn't take very long to tell. I'm trying to give you some sort of an idea of what can occur to you and to people.

And in any one case you could make the grand statement that covers the whole case, "He's a case of too fixed attention units" - take a nuclear physicist. And you could make the grand statement about another case (completely embracive statements, you see), "Well, his attention units are much too dispersed" - some clerk in a cosmetics counter. And you look at her and her attention's just all over the place and it's just - nothing settles on anything, you see? And you say, "Well, her attention is too dispersed."

If you become free and able to operate, you won't find yourself terribly interested in the baser games any more than you go passionately and devotedly down to the corner grocery store to watch a checker game if you 're living in a small town; any more than you would drive five hundred miles or something like that to watch a boys' grade school play football. See, I mean, it's just not a game.

Well then, don't be surprised as an auditor, having made this postulate and hung your preclear and you with it, that the next thing you discover is a condition with the too fixed case of too much dispersal; and with the too dispersed case, too much fixation on something. Because it goes in successive waves and these successive waves go to make up the descending spiral, the Tone Scale, DEI, cycles of action - all of these things fit in right into the same bracket.

So we don't have to worry too much about disrupting what takes place. But those - the society is suffering today from a lack of clear view and randomity. It's suffering badly. Otherwise, it would go down into a technological society. Well, let's try to stop it from going down there. How do you do this? Definition of space. It's as simple as that.

Now, ridges are points where attention is too fixed. There are too many anchor points per unit of space if the ridge is a painful or unwanted ridge. So, what do you do? You just got too many anchor points in the same unit of space...

So we get to the process, which I'm giving you at this time, which is "running eight anchor points in a bracket of six." And if I give you this, I give you also no particular responsibility on how to use it because the use of it brings about all full responsibility, which is, of course, no responsibility at all. But as you use it you're going to see people come up through all the brackets there are to come through, and one of those is cruelty. They can get real cruel. Cruelty is pretty base actually. If a guy - if a guy can't have any sensation except by being cruel, he's in real bad shape.

Now, let's take where we have no attention; I mean, it's just all over the place. You really have a condition there of unable to fix on any anchor point. And you'll find that there's a near vacuum around this person. There's just - there's just no attention units in it at all, no anchor points in it.

You'll be bringing people up through ethics and all of this level. Well, the only way to tell you where a person goes with the use of such a process is just run it and find out. But you're used to handling less effective processes, so remember that this isn't a less effective process on this universe, the other fellow's universe, and your own universe. And by the time you run this and exteriorize your boy, you can drop him anywhere you want on the exteriorization.

So, these two conditions are the two conditions of a case. But both of the conditions change as the spiral is unwound backwards or as it proceeds down through life.

Well probably, with all the people we have here, we have that many different ideas of how the society ought to run in order to run well. We have this many different concerns about existence. It's a funny thing - it might - you could controlledly change a person's direction by running such a technique. So remember that you can. The only thing that I look toward this technique is rather puckishly look to the fact that the least that'll happen is people will stop going through the screens - the Martian screens. Yeah, it's very upsetting. There's already a very large section of the barracks and so forth up there really smoking. Some places are just kind of mounds.

You find this girl who is scattering her attention here and there will eventually get into a situation where her - oh, something happens - life and some young fellow marries her or something and leaves her or something happens like that. All of a sudden her attention goes bong and fixes. This is how you hypnotize somebody. You lead him into dispersing his anchor points all around, see, and then making him suddenly fix on one anchor point.

But here, let's get on to business, here. We've dillydallied around with this long enough.

This is very curious. I had this happen a few times. One notable time I noticed this was - I was just a kid and it was a situation which had a little bit of - a lot more drama than is permissible on this planet.

A bracket of six is other people's space for other people in which somebody else gets caught, as the additional point. It makes this difference: that there's others for others in which you get pinned down.

Down along the docks and this - I had a ship, the old Doris Hamlin, and a sailor who was wobbling around and pretty, pretty darned drunk took out a knife and started in my general direction and I planted a shot exactly to part his hair, just exactly and that's exactly what happened. That's very dramatic. This doesn't happen very often on this planet. You don't get this opportunity unless you're young and don't care what the police say.

Somebody puts up some space for somebody else and it surrounds you and you're there. It's not intended for you and this is the innocent bystander. And the other one is the technique of the other person is the innocent bystander. Other people put up space for other people, hut a third party gets caught in it. And that's the bracket of six.

The guy went into a complete hypnotic trance. His attention unit was completely dispersed all over the place, you see, and then all of a sudden this slug and a sudden noise takes a few of the hairs out of the top of his crown of his head and it was no impact there or anything like that; it knocked his hat off He went into a complete hypnotic trance. He just stood there and his eyes dilated from the relatively small point they were in, completely out! They just went zzrooomm. There he was!

And that goes this way: You have the preclear put up eight anchor points for himself. What kind of anchor points? I don't care. He doesn't care either. And you'll find out that somebody that's had - been in jail a couple of times, if you ask him to put up jail windows as the anchor points, he'd get a real big certainty on it. He'd also get darned upset. But the essence on this thing is that it's run, again, just as you handle the hack corners of the room, without thinking. Each one of these is run without thinking. Have the preclear put up anchor points. He can't see? All right, have him put up black anchor points - eight of them, in which he's sitting.

Anyway, I said to him, seeing something had happened to him with regard to this - I says, "You will now be a model sailor and will be very obedient to your captain." And he was.

And then give him this that he has somebody else put up eight anchor points for themselves. But he does it with this. He gets them simply putting up eight anchor points for themselves or himself See? Then it's others.

For years, though, I wondered why he got sick after he left that ship. He got real sick. He used to write me once in a while, what he could write, Real mean, I keyed in space opera.

Now he gets other people putting up eight anchor points in which he's situated but the anchor points being intended for somebody else. That takes familial problem - a little kid, parents; Papa got the home for Mama, but the kid's there and he's not appreciated.

And space opera, they used to just walk aboard the ship automatically, you see, usually drunk, something of the sort or under dope. And they'd no more than pass through the airport of the - of the spaceship as it was parked in port like out here at the airport or something of the sort, and that recruit would no more than walk through, then there'd be a zizzzzz on both sides of the airport and he was indoctrinated. High speed - "You will be obedient to the commands of the officers. You will not mutiny, you will not leave the confines of the ship. You are dedicated to the job of being a tubeman third class." See? Just zoom!

Now we get other people putting up anchor points for other people in which, again, a third party is trapped. You see how that would look? You get how it would look; that's the main thing.

And he was all set then. These sailors would walk around, completely controllable except, of course, when they mutinied and killed their officers and stole the ship. Anyway. The other method of indoctrination was to put somebody in a - he'd go aboard and he'd lie down and go to sleep in the bunk that had been assigned to him and a little box over the top of the bunk would go bizzzz and he would be completely indoctrinated.

Now, let's get somebody putting up eight anchor points which surround the preclear but not the other person. And the preclear - by the way, early in the case, take this one last - the preclear putting up eight anchor points for somebody else.

What did those little boxes do? They simply completely fixed his attention - pam! Sometimes cruder old tramps - they'd have a doctor or something of the sort and he'd just give them a shot and give them narcosynthesis and tell them - sort of a thing. Didn't have any modern conveniences on those ships.

Male voice: Around someone?

Now, you would think that the officers were pretty bad beasts who did that. What do you know, they were indoctrinated, too. A line or owners or something like that or the state would pick up these officers and bizzzz, "You're an officer You will not" - and this is interesting with the crew. You will find people doing this in this society, still dramatizing old space opera because this society does it like mad, too - "Crew member, you will not go forward into officers' quarters. You must not cross the line of class on officers. In other words, you mustn't ever answer up or talk up to officers."

Yeah. That's just all in his own or other people's universes. Get the idea? That's just own and other people's universes. When he does that he's up against letting people go free which is giving them space. And that one he will care to ponder over for a long time but you don't worry about him pondering, just have him put them up there.

And the officer was indoctrinated never to feel himself even vaguely associated with a crew member. And the idea of the crew was put straight into his head and his own responsibility with regard to the crew and so forth, but the - he was never given to believe that they were human beings that breathed and everything, and so you had very nice, very nice, smoothly operating lines.

Male voice: He's running out a punishment in brackets.

Why was this necessary? You had so much space that an officer going off a little bit or a crewman going off a little bit would mean the immediate loss of a ship because if you stop and think of what you could do with a spaceship of almost unlimited range - you could just go over to another galaxy and set up a kingdom.

Mm-mm.

There's hardly been a single man in space opera who hasn't played God or king or government simply on the process of stealing a ship and going and setting things up elsewhere. So, you see these indoctrinations were real rough. They make a psychiatric electric shock these days look like the pat-a-cake that it is.

Male voice: Should he - should he know the people that he's putting it up for? Should he be putting up for particular persons or...

Now, the odd part of it is, these ships were very often surrounded by points of light which were the demarcation points of furthest departure on the part of the crew and on the part of the junior officers. It's real interesting. In other words, they gave them anchor points and they didn't dare leave those anchor points.

No. And the auditor never directs who. Just put it up for somebody else or put it up - next time you go through the bracket, just say, "Put it up for other people. Put up space for other people now."

Now, you wonder why the devil and how in the name of common sense somebody is stuck on the time track in space opera - just look at that operation.

Now, you want him to put up just one piece of space, in other words, eight anchor points making one cube of space.

Nearly anybody who gets into the armed services, particularly the Navy today, will get space opera keyed in. Most spaceships are gray, so on.

Now, the essence of a technique is that he's making space, but space in brackets. And not - if you can possibly get him over this very early, if his case is bad off, you'll have to just bust in very rudely and tell him, "All right. Now, other people as spirits or thetans and the space for you as a thetan." And he keeps wobbling with this because he keeps sitting in this space as a body and he keeps putting it up for other bodies. The hell with bodies! Let's get earlier. Let's get more natural. Let's not go to the other person through the stage of a body and all that sort of thing. Just get it put up for him as a - as a thetan. Because if you keep doing this with a body, you'll just start melting the body down, and it gets gluier and gluier and gluier. It won't do any harm, but it's just no, no dice. You want it put up for him as a thetan. And you can explain to him what a thetan is, "Your spirit, then."

Well, all right. I'm just giving you this, not as pleasant history, but as something very important. You give him the feeling that he must not exceed a certain limit of space. Now, how did you do that? How would you go about doing that?

"Oh," he'll say, "my spirit. All right. I'll put it up over here as - so my spirit can..." That's the Christian church, you see? The Christian church tells you that you have to save your soul. And then they call themselves "spiritualists" and "religionists." Very, very amazing. They fix it up so nobody can have a soul. The soul is always a third party - third party to the church and third party to the - for the religious person.

You'd get his attention - his own anchor points which are actually in defensive patterns - and you'd get them dispersed so that he wasn't looking anyplace, and then you would suddenly come through with a crusher which was not in words but which merely fixed him in a space.

All right. Now, when you run this bracket of six, round and round and round and round and round, you'll notice that your preclear has a tendency to get very philosophical. Now, if you simply shut him off and tell him "No, no, Just don't think about it," and so forth, "just get on with the process," and so on, you will inhibit your communication with him to a degree where he will start going through the process mechanically and it will - it won't stop the process, but it'll take longer.

If you notice, I said space opera - the indoctrination was done as he stepped through the airlock. It would give him that much space and that's all the space he had. In other words, it fixed all of his attention on that space simply by making that space intolerable and then creating a vacuum of it. See, a sudden shock and that's intolerable, but it overflows any remaining anchor point pattern which he has erected and that, of course, comes in and as it comes in it leaves a vacuum. That vacuum is appetite, wantingness, whatever you want, so he "wants" to stay in the spaceship.

Now, because something happened to him with this process is no reason it won't happen again and that puts this process immediately on the other side of the borderline. The process you've been handling is if it happened to him once, he somehow or other managed to stop it from happening twice. Well, he can't stop this one from happening twice if you just continue to run it because it continues to run out what's happened to him. It runs out itself.

Now, you'll get preclears who can't leave their own homes. Well, this is partially because home at first was so intolerable to them - their original homes and so forth were so intolerable they couldn't tolerate the idea of even staying in them for a moment, and then somebody forced them to stay in them and the next thing you know, why, they wanted to stay in this - in a closed space. They don't know why, you see, but they just do, and they do stay in closed spaces. It just keys in all electronics and everything else on the track.

You can do all sorts of things with this. You can put space within space within space within space. And the way you do that is tell him "Now, all right. Now, you got eight anchor points around yourself. Now, put eight more anchor points around that." In other words, space enspacing space. Various tremendous differences - variation. But you don't have to worry about doing that. Just take it in a bracket of six and you've got it - mechanical, very mechanical.

Other-determinism would be considered - could be considered to be the process of disarranging and then rearranging one's anchor points, or arranging carefully and then disarranging one's anchor points. That's other-determinism at work. What is it that other people do? They try to get you to arrange anchor points quietly and orderly and nicely so that they can disperse them with great suddenness or they disperse your anchor points one way or the - they give you a lot of bad news and all that sort of thing - so they can suddenly drive through with the big king-sized impact which, of course, fixes your attention.

Now you turn around and you use the room he's in or the town he's in as an actual piece of MEST. And instead of him holding the two back corners of the room, you have him hold all eight corners of the room, and then have somebody else hold them, and other people hold them from [for] other people, and then him hold them for somebody else and then somebody else hold them for him - the corners of the room.

What's happened to your preclear? It's just this pattern has been going on and on and on and on and on. His anchor points have been unfixed and scattered and then suddenly fixed in a pattern, or fixed in a pattern and then scattered. And we've just got this continuous cycle of unfixing all these anchor points and then giving him pam!

And having gone through that bracket of five, you go back to his own and other people's universe in a bracket of six. Then you go back into this five again, and then into this six.

Now that, in essence, is the operation of the between-lives area at this time. See? His anchor points are nicely fixed. He's in a body and all of a sudden the body kicks off. Now, that's a shock which disarranges his anchor points - the death shock. There's an actual electronic shock at death. You could put a rabbit on it and kill the rabbit and you could read the meter on him. You'd find out it was quite a large electrical shock.

Now, sometimes you teach a pilot to fly and he'll learn accidentally to fly with his left wing slightly low. Well, let's not do that on this process, huh? In other words, let's not learn it wrong first and then keep on using it with a slip.

And then with that dispersal of anchor points he has (quote) "nothing left to do but fall back on a prearranged set of anchor points," which is to say between-lives area - pam. He's in that area now, see? And now, the second he's there, they fix his anchor points on that area and then fix them again on something like a maternity ward - pam, pam! See? And it's done real fast.

Terrifically simple process. And I'll give you the patter. Now, we have preclear X - don't anybody run this right now, please - we have preclear X. He's sitting up here... Oh, throw me a preclear from back of the room. You've got a doll around there someplace. Good.

People are very amazed. They put people on an E-Meter and they say, "Well, how long was it between two lives?" And they normally find that it was ten or fifteen minutes. Real quick. And every once in a while somebody will come to you and say, "You know, I wasn't in a body there for a long time" or "I don't know what I did. I left the body and then I don't know what I did."

All right. We've got this preclear here. You say to this preclear... You hypnotized or something? We got this preclear and we say, "Okay, put up for yourself eight anchor points." Now, the auditor stays in communication with the preclear.

Well, anybody that's counting on the body to be the anchor point in the absence of a body and in the absence of the other bodies that he was surrounded with, of course, doesn't have any patterns, So therefore, (quote) he doesn't have any memory (unquote), Of course, he has a perfectly good memory of it, but if he was counting on other kinds of anchor points which suddenly weren't his, then, if this was his memory arrangement and that's gone, then he knows he can't remember

Preclear says, "All right, I've done it."

It's not true that he can't remember, See, he doesn't depend on anchor points to remember. Knowledge is not dependent on n anchor points. Never was and never will be. So, that's the first operation on the track.

And the auditor says, "You did? Where?"

Well, let's look at the PC. You're going to run him then - he's running up toward Operating Thetan, he's doing all right, and the next thing you know he has this to worry about. His anchor points don't fix well. It's a heck of a note but they just - they're getting dispersed, and that's not good - and scattery.

"Oh, out there in the next county," or someplace.

Well, he misses the - you know, every once in a while they'll take somebody out of prison, send him home and then the fellow is miserable unless he can live in a closet. Well, this is what happens to him: He just - his anchor points are now too dispersed and he's unhappy about it and so forth. And he will come along, actually, and fix up some kind of a pattern, and then finally say this is it. And you're going to process him after that. No, he's decided this is the pattern, so on. You know, you're not going to process him anymore - until this afternoon when he suddenly realizes that this pattern is a fixed pattern and that it had to be altered about five times in the last five hours, and he'd certainly better improve his methods of handling patterns.

No, the hell with that. "Put up eight anchor points around you."

So that afternoon he's perfectly willing to be processed and the process then would merely consist of scattering the pattern which he set up and letting him set up another pattern, if you were doing it by implants. Or if you're actually becoming an Operating Thetan, you just make it easier for him to fix and unfix patterns, and that would just be exercises with anchor points.

"Well, how do I put them?"

The ability to fix and unfix anchor points, to have and not have space is the only thing you really work with because you're working with somebody in this universe and this universe has given him the habit of having anchor points and so forth. He'll eventually get to a point where it is terrifically certain to him that he doesn't need anchor points, but that only comes about when he is so expert with them, he finds he can neglect them. See, up to that time, why, he has to count on them for everything.

"Well, put four above you and four below you.

Now, the use of anchor points is to some slight degree an agreement with this universe, but in view of the fact that thetans made this universe, it's also in agreement with thetans, and in view of the fact that the preclear himself wants to go on doing this, it's in agreement with him, too. So, merely exercises, precision, competence in handling anchor points is your keynote.

"Well, I can't see. How can I put up eight anchor points? What are you talking about anchor points, anyhow? What is an anchor point?"

Well, now let's take this fellow way downscale. He's still in a body, he can't get out of a body - ohhh. He's in one of two conditions. Don't ever make the mistake, by the way, of thinking that he is in one condition if he's occluded. Occlusion can be two conditions: It can be too dispersed or too fixed. See, it's one or the other

"Well, an anchor point is just a point."

And the first thing we would examine with regard to him - did you ever look at a - watch a play in which somebody was searching through the drawers? The - somebody or other was searching through the drawers of the bureau on the stage and so forth quickly while - before Albert comes in? Hm? You've watched somebody searching madly through something and trying to get a job done on a - and just before he's discovered - you know what that feeling is? You have Mata Hari or something like that. Last night's TV - the guy doing this - they had half of the TV program; he was simply trying to photostat something or other. I bet the audience was ready to fall to pieces waiting for the CPs to drive up to the door and demand the packet which he had in charge but he had to photostat it for the FBI.

"Well, what is a point?"

FBI - I heard about this FBI last night. I was very, very curious; I didn't know we had an international police here, and I am trying to figure out now... I don't think it's a galactic police but I've got to look into it a little bit further. Might be a system police, so on. I noticed the weapons though, the clothes that the FBI man wore in it and no ray gun, so I don't think they're system police. He didn't seem to have a weapon. It's pretty hard to figure out this society. Well, that's - they're probably galactic police. We'll go in for that. Anyway.

"Well, a point is just a point, you understand?"

Have you ever seen - have you ever seen anybody do that and get a reaction yourself? Get this reaction? That's what's known as suspense. Now, you're not supposed to be caught is what it - the postulate sort of goes into it; you're not supposed to be caught doing that.

"Well, but what is it?"

But what do you know, it's just a problem in anchor points. One or two categories: "not supposed to be" or "supposed to be elsewhere." An anchor point is not supposed to be there or it is supposed to be elsewhere or both. And if you just run this as a drill on a pc in a full bracket, you will get that same emotion turning on in the pc and it's what's holding him on the time track. He's not supposed to be there; we've added consideration to the position of an anchor point.

"Well, you see that cigarette package?"

And that's what a fellow who is very occluded is doing. He's either supposed to be there or he's not supposed to be there in a body!

"Yeah, all right."

Now, what do you know, these poor people, do you know, have in restimulation most of the time, without realizing how intense it is, the idea that they're not supposed to be there or they're supposed to be elsewhere. They're always feeling like this, you know.

"You've got this cigarette package? All right, put up eight cigarette packages around you."

It's all right to be home but it would probably be much better if they were elsewhere; you see, they're really supposed to be elsewhere. Well, when people don't know where they're supposed to be, but they know they're supposed to be elsewhere, that means they've "got to go." And you've got the "got to go" case, and they've got to go in all ways, shapes and forms; they must depart. They don't know why and they don't have any destination to depart to, but they must depart. They're supposed to be elsewhere.

"Well, I can't - I can't see. I mean, I'm totally occluded, really. Honest"' The preclear's saying, "I'm actually very occluded and I can't see and can't feel, can't hear very well as a thetan and I can't get out of my body."

And then there's the case who won't move. And this case, of course, is quite the reverse of it - not "must depart" but "he mustn't arrive." In other words, the anchor point must not be at the point B in this little diagram I keep giving you of the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight corners of a cube of space, and then the little diagonal in it of travel from point A in it to point B in it. You see, he's not quite at A but he knows he must never be at B, and then he doesn't know where B is anyplace in - someplace in this cube of space, but he mustn't be there wherever it is, see? He mustn't arrive.

This is, by the way, it's just done when you hit Step III which is what we're doing; we've done Steps I and II on this preclear.

The cycle of action is dramatized in this particular society by "he mustn't die." In other societies, earlier ones, it was dramatized by "he mustn't go insane."

All right. He thinks he's stopped you, see?

Probably - this society uses - doesn't use insanity very much; it's minor, but it has this other mechanism, the better solution called death. It thinks its death is a better solution than going crazy,

You say, "Okay now, put up eight black anchor points around you the size of this cigarette package."

But earlier on the track there wasn't any way to die except, you see, say, "I'm no longer responsible; I'm crazy. Now, you have driven me crazy, so I'm no longer responsible for my actions, so therefore cannot be punished anymore."

Kills him. He's dead now; he's got to do that. So he resigns and he puts up eight of them. He puts them up - one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. And you say, "Okay." You say, "All right. Now, put up eight anchor points..." No, no. "Have somebody else put up eight anchor points," you say at this stage. "Have somebody else put up eight. Mock it up, all right."

Death is only a mechanism to stop things from punishing you. And insanity was the early track mechanism of stopping things from punishing you. Same deal, same thing.

See, you don't have to run these brackets in sequence. And once in a while, if you'll shift the sequence on a bracket it breaks down his randomity. He's got a monotony on this and he's got a randomity resistance and so he'll start doing something automatically. By the way, he can do this very automatically and it still does terrible things to him. But you can always break down a bracket.

Now in this society they go on punishing the insane. And when they dramatize that - that's relatively ancient but it's quite late on the track overt though it's ancient to us. You see, then, it's a no-solution. You go insane so they stop punishing you. That ‘s not a good solution. Even today they're dramatizing the final overcoming of that mechanism; they electric shock the insane or give them prefrontal lobotomies. In other words, if they go insane they punish them more, In other words, the situation caved in and reversed itself so it's not a solution.

All right. So, he puts up this person out here in front of him or this idea of a person out here in front of him. He says, "I'm still awfully occluded." He says, You've turned on a terrible headache, but I'm still awfully occluded."

Now, death is under attack as the solution. Get this, it's quite important. Death is a good solution for life, real good solution. He didn't stop dying. Of course, he has to make it convincing. That's why people don't have immediate memory on past lives, not because anybody's tampered with their anchor points, because they tried to be convincing and death is something you don't remember anything after; that's part of its definition. And therefore, if you really want to stop being punished, why, you have to have a complete blank on ever having lived before. See, that's the complete wipeout. This is the wipeout mechanism of past lives. All right.

And you say, "Now have that person put up eight anchor points." And he says, "But I - he - he - I can't see ..."

Death right now is under attack. These doctors come around with penicillin and the guy, oh, he's having a hell of a time trying to get himself knocked off! He's been punished and punished and punished and punished and he's just sick of it!

"Well, you can have him see them."

There are more people around who are having a good time and lots of randomity by using him as the whipping boy, the whipping post, the cutting carcass, anything, see, and there's the family and everybody and argue, argue, argue and he's all ready to quit.

"Well, okay."

They start quitting, by the way, inversely on the dynamics. That is to say they quit at 8 and so on and slide on up to 1 again; there's an inverse of the inverted dynamic. You see, after all the dynamics have inverted, then they'll invert the other way.

So, you put up these eight anchor points - these eight black anchor points - around this other person. He puts four down here at the feet of this other person and then he puts four up here. As soon as he's got those, he's said, "Sure I've got those."

For instance, a marsupial - I don't know what's wrong with modern science, they call a - they call mammals and marsupials - this is - so then, those two words are not of the same class. This always puzzles me every time I run up against it, because a mammal has mammary glands and so does a marsupial, but a marsupial is that which carries the young internally for a short time and then they come out and they put them in a pouch and attach them to a mammary gland, exteriorly, instead of an umbilical cord.

Now you say to him, “All right. Now get - now you get the other people putting up anchor points for other people, but you're in the middle of those anchor points."

Well, the marsupial consistently fails in its contest against a placental - what you should call - a proper name for it would be placental mammals, who simply carry their young all the way forward up to a time when the young are quite well developed and advanced. The marsupial just carries them for a short time.

He says, "How do I do that?"

What's this a symptom of? The marsupial, you see, is - he's simply quitting on the second dynamic on the evolutionary chain, and now he's quit almost entirely on the evolutionary chain. See, he wouldn't even carry his young very long before he got rid of them.

"Well, you got some other people over there on the left side of you."

And what do you know, you chase a kangaroo (a marsupial) and most of the marsupials... There used to be marsupials all over South America. They have this pouch. There are marsupial bison and marsupial foxes. There's a marsupial anything, marsupial wolf - still a marsupial wolf in Tasmania.

"Okay"

Well, in Australia they have marsupials instead of mammals. They throw a mammal in there and immediately the mammal starts winning. Why? He's just younger on the evolutionary track, that's all. Marsupial was - has been fading out on his evolutionary line for a long time.

"All right. Now, have them put them up so there's some people over here on the right side of you. Got that?"

You chase a kangaroo mother who has a couple of young kangaroos in a pouch and she'll take them out and throw them away, just like that. It's a mechanism of existence, I mean, that's part of her death. She's willing to die on the future track at the moment. See?

"Okay"

And you'll even find human beings doing this. They try to throw their kids away before they kill themselves. And death is a good solution see? And it's - death is a gradient scale and it goes inversely up the dynamics.

"All right. Now have these people over here on the left side of you put up eight anchor points around you that are really intended for the people that are over there on the right side of you. You got that?"

And you just start unconvincing a person, dynamic by dynamic, and they will die eventually, whether you shot them or not. Totally mechanical method of killing somebody is just be - just invert them selectively on each dynamic.

"Oh yeah, I can do that."

If you don't think this is done, just listen to some of the people around in the streets. They're just slaving like mad to invert various dynamics up the line and kill everybody around them. They're doing a good job of it, too. It's not arrestable but it's murder All right.

"Okay." He puts them up again around himself.

Not off on the subject of marsupials - I'm just showing you that a line fades out on death. It ceases. Well, what is this? It's a cessation of a pattern of anchor points. It isn't a cessation of the living being. The potential manipulator, arranger of anchor points does not die. What dies is the pattern. And people believe that they should look at the pattern. So, that's all there is to look at, they say, so they look at the pattern. And the pattern of the mammal is younger and the mammal is in pretty good shape - the placental mammal. The marsupial has faded out practically all the way around the world.

Okay. Now, you say, "Have other people put them up for other people in which somebody else gets enclosed."

There are marsupials, by the way, just on that, in South America - marsupial cattle. And when the land bridge formed down across the Isthmus of Panama, North American cattle (mammal, placental mammal cattle), came in and, boy, the marsupial cattle just disappeared. Well, it wasn't anything to do with the marsupial and the mammal and the survival of the fittest and that sort of thing. Actually, it's just the wearing away and the arranging of anchor points and their decay. I mean, the marsupial would have faded out whether anybody came in from North America or not. See, he was just getting down... They'd inverted on the second dynamic, even. All marsupials would do that, by the way.

"Well I don't get that."

You get this point? I'm making this point very strongly because you're looking at somebody who is trying to die, ordinarily, as a solution. He has been punished too much.

"Well, come out here in front of you. Come out here in front of you. And have some people out here on your port bow and have these people out here put up anchor points for these people out here. But have this other person be in the middle of them."

Now, you have to resolve this idea with him: that if he goes on living he won't be punished more.

"Oh, that's too complex. I can't do that."

He's going to use processing immediately to kick himself off - suicide. He wants you to assist him in a suicide, suicide being illegal. You can be arrested for suicide in this society.

"Well, can you get an idea of other people being out there?"

Everybody's rushing around trying to keep people from dying and saying that this is mercy. Has nothing to do with it. It's a - it's a downright cruelty.

"Yes."

You take a battlefield, something like that. The idea of guys going across a battlefield and carefully salvaging what they call wounded. You know, some fellow has got his head blown off, he's still alive, he'll go on living for years; another guy has no limbs left and he's in horrible shape.

"Can you get the idea that there ever been anybody else out there?"

I think up to a few years ago they still had veterans from World War I sitting - who had been mustard gassed - sitting in tubs of olive oil in veterans' hospitals. How long after the war? It's just an incredible line. They had veterans around who couldn't speak, who couldn't communicate, who had no limbs and who could manipulate nothing.

"Yes."

But how gruesome do they want to get? This - they wouldn't dare let any kind of a weapon that this person could manipulate get anywhere in his vicinity because he'd simply kill himself, quick. He thinks he has to kill himself before he can exteriorize and shove off. See.

"Well, that's all right. That'll do for that step."

Now, you're coming along with a terrific solution for somebody who is on that computation, you see? And you think he wants to live and be happy. Well, that's your mistake, that isn't his because if you pried into it very closely you'd find out that this fellow had just been punished within an inch of never. All the way down the line, he's just been beaten around and operated on and put into pain and upset and jailed and hammered and socked until he just - he's just not willing to carry this mock-up on anymore, that's all. It doesn't say that he isn't willing to pick up and carry on another mockup, but this one has an identity. And there are lots of people around that could do this, still, so he'd better get rid of them - he'd better get rid of this identity, rid of this mock-up, put up another mock-up. He'll even get rid of it to the point of completely sacrificing his personal life.

"Now, let's you - let's - you, flow, hold on to the upper two back corners of the room without thinking about it."

If you were to ask a young boy, a fifteen, sixteen-year-old kid, "Well, how would you like to give up all of your personal memory and not know that you had ever - even lived before?"

By the way, if he starts thinking, he's actually wrecking the process. He can think this process into a null. It's the only way he can flip it, is start thinking about, "Gee, that reminds me of this and reminds me of that and associative logic and it's all so meaningful, so significant, so significant..." All he's doing is bailing into this space all this terrific amount of garbage; and you're trying to get space and he's trying to fill it up. See how that amounts to?

"Are you crazy?" he'd say. "That's incredible. No, no, no" - most of the kids out here. A year or two later when he found out he was going into the army you'd probably get a softened answer on it. The government put a bar across the time track as a punishment for his being alive. Got to be something that has no adventure, no colour, no pay.

So you say, "Well, all right. Now get in the back of your head here, someplace - you - just kind of get the idea of holding on to those two back corners of the room. You got that? All right, hold on to the rest of the corners of the room. Well, you got that? Okay. Well, you don't get that very plainly. Oh, you want to know what they look like? Well, you'll find out sooner or later. Oh, you want to take a look? Well, all right, take a look. Okay. You got ahold of them, now?"

And up the line, you ask him when he's really been knocked around by existence, boy, he's just been knocked from one end of existence to the other. And he has enough overt acts sitting around in the community here and there so that he knows sooner or later one of these may catch up with him. Only they are undefined and actually aren't covered well in law, and nobody will ever catch up with him - he just feels this to a point where - now you come along and you ask him, "Now, how would you like to die and not have any personal memory anymore?" And he'd say, "Gee! Well, of course, personal memory would be a little bit rough. I'd like to know I've been alive, maybe." And if he's really, really, really bad off; he'll even sacrifice personal memory.

"Yeah, yeah. I've got ahold of them."

Now, compare that to the kangaroo throwing away the children - throwing away her babies. See? Inverted dynamics. Memory is something you can throw away. You say, "I'm dead. Look, I'm dead and death is terrible and that's what you've done to me!"

"Okay. Now, have somebody else take ahold of them and hold them there."

The most direct line of accusation that can be pointed at anyone is, "You killed me." And the way to really make it stick is to lie there dead with no memory of having been alive, you see?

"Okay. My father. Yes, I often remember my father used to ..."

Well, what's this pc trying to do that it's hard to exteriorize? Get this rule. I've told this to you over and over and over and over and over, and I'll tell it to you over and over again. It's just this one; If you can help him do what he's trying to do he will recover from the condition he's in. Help him do what he's trying to do.

"No, just a minute, just a minute. Just you have - have somebody else hold on to them. Is it all right?"

You know, every once in a while, somebody is hanging out of the twenty-seventh story window of a hotel or something about to jump and a big crowd collects down and everybody yells at him, "Don't jump! Don't jump!" And people come around in back of him trying to grab him and pull him back in the window again and that sort of thing, and of course, the fellow jumps.

"Okay."

Nobody ever understands exactly how this can be. If they really wanted to save him, they would say, "If you go up two more floors," they would call up to him, "the drop will be very certainly fatal. Here I'll drop you a rope so that you can get up two more floors. Here, sit down in that chair there and we'll haul you up two more floors so that you can jump further." He'll get over his idea of suicide, but he won't jump.

"Now; what about getting other people to hold on to them for somebody else?"

Another way, of course, is to take the brute force angle which works on some portions of the cycle, which is if a cop were to stand down in the street and start shooting at him. You just pushed him into a higher immediate level of desperation. He'd immediately go back inside the window again. And he'd be mad and probably make a complaint to the police department for having tried to kill him. See?

"Sure. Well, that's always me and my brother! You know we used to fight like mad," and so forth.

Here's the problem of the inverted dynamics and the problem of what your preclear is trying to do.

"That's terribly interesting. Your brother lived a long time, I'm sure he is, right? Okay? That's fine. Now, you got somebody else holding on to them for somebody else?"

Well, it might come through to you, now, that he's trying to have no anchor points because the only way he can be punished is for somebody to grab them. And the total fixation of the case may be upon death and total fixation on death would be a total fixation on no anchor points.

"Oh, I forgot about that. I was disturbed there for a moment." Okay. Now we're holding on to them.

And if you could help the preclear do what he is trying to do, you probably would find your preclear recovering from the condition he's in. Because you're trying to change his condition. See?

"Well, how long am I supposed to do this?" the preclear says.

Now, how would you go about solving the case of somebody who, after a few minutes of processing - I mean, just a few minutes of processing, pong, pong, pong, pong - on anchor points as given in this bracket of eleven (MEST bracket of five and two other-universe bracket of six, call it a bracket of eleven to save breath), and he didn't exteriorize and you didn't get him much better off; his perceptics didn't clear up, in other words, you weren't getting a noticeable change, very fast change? Well, you'd certainly just better shift your gears into "no anchor points." Get him to have no anchor points.

"Well you just - just do it."

Well now, if he is really bad off, he'll have to have a kind of no anchor points. He can't have just a no anchor point up there. He's got to have a kind of no anchor point to be up there. In other words, he's really into the reason why.

"Well how long though?"

Here again is a case of fixation of attention. You do this very readily; where is his attention fixed? His attention is fixed upon the body but it might not be fixed upon the body at all, and we go right back into our inverted dynamics which we were covering much earlier in the course. Use them for anchor points; he's got his attention fixed on one of those dynamics inverted.

"Well, just do it."

"No Christ." See? He has got his attention fixed on "no Christ." Well have him put "no Christs" up in a bracket of eleven. See?

"Well, how long am I really supposed to hold on to these anchor points of other people holding them on to for other people?"

Now, it might be a position of his body. There might be some chronic somatic he has. Well, don't begrudge him this chronic somatic too much, because it's something that he's been careful of for a long time; it's the last point of sensation he's got. Volney with his ping meter over here is getting it all set up so the last point of aliveness which the person can have, is going to be pushed by the boards. All right. And then he is going to wonder why there's a resistance to this machine. Okay.

Doesn't like that - butchery. You've hit something hot, see. When he starts protesting about how long he's doing it and so forth, just plow it to him. Don't even think about it. Don't even talk about it. Just make him do it.

There - he might have a chronic somatic. If he has this chronic somatic, use it in a bracket of six anchor points. And then just use the other bracket of five on the MEST universe just without any regard to a fixed somatic, and then use this fixed somatic. I call it chronic somatic - we ought to he calling it fixed somatics, I suddenly realized. A fixed somatic is used, then, eight times around him in the bracket of six and you'll find things happening to his case right up to a certain point.

If left to his own devices at that point he would simply quit the process and say, "There is a process. It's undoubtedly a good process and I'll have to run it sometime."

You do that very long and he starts to fall apart at that point. Why? You are putting too much space into an area.

All right, So we've got to make sure that any time he gets real interested in not doing it, that he does it. We can do this very persuasively and very quietly, We don't have to hit him over the head with a chair but be prepared to do the latter if he won't. Okay.

Well, occasionally you go through the shift of punching a hole in what he's got so as to let the affinity out. Honest, you get some very occluded case, you'll be amazed if you tell him that - to have a white cloud suddenly appearing and going in all directions like punctured balloons suddenly fly through the air. See. Then you get - that's - he's got to let the affinity out of it.

Now we've got this person again and we say, "All right. Now put up eight anchor points around for yourself."

If it wasn't for the fact that "everybody loved" him, he could kill himself off very easy, but he's - these people are dependent upon him! "Goddamn them." You see.

"Oh, you mean hold on to the corners of the room for myself again?"

It's like Mehitabel and - the cat, you know. She left them in the - remember old Don Marquis's Archy and Mehitabel? She left the - her new litter of kittens in the garbage can, the lid was off and she hoped it didn't rain while she was gone and fill up the garbage can because she'd feel so bad if anything happened to "them poor dears." They're in definitely this frame of mind. People who don't get out of their body easily, there's some of that frame of mind hanging around, you see.

"No, no just put up your own little space for yourself. Okay. Now what have you got there?" Well, here's what he's got. Body, eight anchor points.

"Well, they love me, and they like me and I've got this responsibility and I'll have to take care of them one way or the other." Actually, they're perfectly - they will often measure up to be very, very responsible beyond anybody's expectation of responsibility just because of this.

"Now, you put those up..." This is the second time around. "You put those up for you as though you were a spirit and the body had nothing to do with it."

Well, you go immediately from the fixed somatic to the next part of the process with this case, is to find the anesthesed area. Now, you remember about anesthesed areas? They anesthese all the way down the dynamics. A fellow has an anesthesia of God - he's gone. All right.

"Well, I can get that idea. I've read a couple of books. I know what you were telling people the other night and so on. Seems sort of unbelievable, but..."

We go all the way down the dynamics on anesthesed areas. What do you mean anesthesed areas?

You say, "Will you please get that as a spirit?"

One of the first things you'll find out is he hasn't got a face or he hasn't got a head or he hasn't got any inside to his head: it's missing. So, you just start taking missing parts. Well, if his attention is on the body, you may be able to just exteriorize him by just working the body itself on the basis of no face.

"Okay."

"Now, all right, you say you've got a pain there in the sacroiliac. Now, let's use the sacroiliac. Now a bracket of six, see, on a sacroiliac." You're putting up sacroiliacs; he has a pain there.

"Now you got it? What's the matter?" Silence.

Follow that immediately afterwards - you do, then, the bracket of five on the MEST universe without any regard to sacroiliacs and then immediately after that you would take a look at him.

You can fully expect that to happen. The guy's done a bunk! He had an argument on the situation. Now you can expect that to happen anytime in this process. But don't expect it to happen as a sudden phenomenon, I'm merely informing you that it will occasionally happen as one. It'll happen usually as a very orderly and routine phenomenon - just routine.

And by the way, the ping meter - that's where it really would shine, in its present situation there. It's where you found an anesthesed area. Just have him put it up in a bracket of six, that's all. You get - on this basis, you found his nose was anesthesed, so you have him put his nose up on the basis of "no noses" in a bracket of six, making space out of no noses.

So, he puts up these for himself. And then he puts them up again, as we went over it the first time. Has somebody else put them up - eight points out there around this other person. And then we have other people put them up for other people with the preclear inside the points. And then this other person - other people put them up for other people with this other person inside the points. But each time we're steering him just a little bit closer to this idea of a spirit. See, we don't give it to him that time. We don't give him the double whamnzo on his own universe. We give it to him on this one.

It's really interesting. You'll find some people who have had a lot of tooth trouble; they have lots of tooth trouble. You put up mouths and so forth. We've gotten down into a reason why when we've gone into this, you see.

"Now get yourself as a being, you know, as a being without a body, holding on to the eight corners of the room."

Well, of course, the best and mostest reason why is they're not supposed to be there, they're supposed to be elsewhere. So, if you just get the idea of "not supposed to be" and put up the idea... Now we've really got the case at the vanishing end of nowhere, see. I'll go into this very quickly and make a clean statement of it.

"Well, I will, but it doesn't seem very real."

You run the absence of an anchor point as the positions you use for the anchor points. See - no nose, no noses no faces up eight times, no noses up eight times.

"I don't care how real it is, just hold on to them. Now, get somebody else, as though he were a spirit, holding on to the corner of the room."

And the next thing you do is, of course, use ideas instead of anchor points. You'll find out that practically anybody who's bad off in this society is using a word - masses of words as anchor points, or masses of money as anchor points; one or the other. This is just open and shut case. Or an absence of money as anchor points, or an absence of words as anchor points This is the way it looks, works, is.

Now, you hold the preclear's head on at that moment if you're real smart. Because the sudden idea that some other spirit might be in the room, something of the sort, is liable to just plain murder him.

Now, "mustn't be there" is used as an anchor point or "must be elsewhere" is used as an anchor point.

If your preclear is really skittish - really skittish and real scared about things - what you would do is run this all the way around being very quiet about spirits for some time, and you'd sure run "making space for other spirits, other beings," and let him hold that for a little while, because he'll get in - very philosophical about whether he ought to go on with this or not or whether you're really doing anything real good or not, or why you probably should take it very easy about this whole thing, because he is not willing to let other spirits go free. He's all right to let bodies go free. That's different. Spirits are dangerous. Bodies aren't.

And now let's go right on into Acceptance Level Processing on space. What kind of space is acceptable to this preclear? And we're off onto a brand-new technique, you see. We've just moved into IV with Spacation. What kind of space is acceptable to him? Spaces full of cobwebs? Spaces full of dead bodies? Spaces full of excreta? Spaces full of what? What kind of spaces is he in?

So, we have him and other people, as spirits, hold on to the eight corners of the room for other spirits. Now, if he objects to the word spirit (it's just a word; it's a communication symbol), shift it around, call them thetans. If he objects to the word thetan, call them ghosts. If he objects to the word ghost, call them life units. You know, if you have a scientist, you can always say life units. Sounds so scientific. All right.

Well, some of them will just say, "I can have bad space. It's got to be bad space." So, we put up "bad space" all these times. Bracket of six on "bad space." Any shape to it? Any points in it? Nope, just bad space. Bad space for themselves and bad space for other people and other people making bad space for somebody else's and so forth. Because we've got again - we've entered consideration into anchor points.

He goes through that again. And now we. say, "All right. Now get you, as a spirit, holding eight anchor points around yourself. You got that? What color do you say they are? Oh, they're gold. Well, that's right. That's perfectly correct. They ought to be. All right. Now, let's get eight - somebody else as a spirit holding eight anchor points around him, got that?"

Now, there's one thing, is what I told you yesterday, it'd probably take eighty or a hundred hours to batter cases to pieces that were in this particular class, but it's very simple. They have forewarning on how to keep their anchor points from being rearranged by you. See, you've told them the technique; they know the technique is going to be run on them. So they have an opportunity, then, to make set the anchor points which they have, so that you can't disrupt them with this particular threat, you see - pam.

"Yes."

But there is one that busts it up. And that, again, goes back to what I was telling you the other day about effects. Using "bad cause" as anchor points or "bad effect" as anchor points - just the thought "bad cause and bad effect." It's quite interesting.

"All right. Now get some spirits holding eight anchor points for some other spirits, but you're in the middle of them."

What is more interesting than that is using as anchor points "the effect that can't happen again." Because that's where they're stuck on the time track. Every time somebody produced an effect upon them with auditing, they knew that was one they couldn't have again. See?

"Middle of the spirits?"

And you say, "Well now, what happened to you in processing?"

"No, in the middle of the anchor points - middle of the anchor points."

"Oh, one time I got this marvelous flash of insight into everything and I just don't get it again. And every time I turn around I seem to get this marvelous flash of insight, and yet I just - I don't get it anymore and so forth. I guess I'm just deteriorating and decaying."

"Oh, in the anchor points. That's all right, then."

Actually, what they're doing is just following out their goal of vanishing on all the dynamics. The mock-ups vanish. They vanish - the - reality vanishes, the mock-ups vanish, the anchor points vanish, they - everything starts vanishing, vanishing, vanishing and thin pretty Soon they're gone, too. That was a relief! See? Been punished too much.

"And now we get other people - other people holding eight anchor points up for other - other beings holding eight anchor points out here for some entirely different beings but somebody else in the middle of the anchor points."

So, let's just look at that This could be - the word is overly severe. This isn't the succumb case; this person is trying to survive. He's; trying to survive, now, by being somebody else or being somewhere else and having another body certainly.

"Oh, sure."

"Okay, Now have you, as a spirit, put up eight anchor points for other thetans."

"Mm-mm." He won't like that, so you let him hold that one for a while.

& And this is continuing, continuing this morning lecture period, a little more on this. Pretty recent. I just want to go over this with great rapidity here.

"But, now get other spirits - other thetans - putting up eight anchor points for you." He won't like that very good either but he'll let it happen.

Continuing the morning lecture of the 29th of October.

And we go around through the walls of the room again and so forth. Very shortly you're going to have to take in bigger space. You better be - hold on a couple of planets or something of the sort; it's easier. The other is kind of crowded. But eventually you can come back to making him do a spacation beautifully in a matchbox with perfect comfort and ease.

You can rationalize, that is to say justify or excuse, any of this you want. But your overt act-motivator sequence is what is worrying your people who are trying to succumb. That should have been obvious to you the second I said they were trying to die. They had been punished too much and this means they could be punished more. And they don't dare give anybody an excuse to punish them any more. So their overt act-motivator sequence is worrying them.

You see, that's a symptom of dispersal, the idea of having to occupy the whole flam-bam universe just to get some distance. That's why I talked about it on that line as people find it so very agreeable to hold on to planets. But you can do a spacation in a matchbox or in a small microphone or in a tube. Of course, if you start doing it in an electronic tube and the machine's in use, it's liable to short-circuit. But anyway...

Now, you can take somebody in Scientology and you can make him run as anchor points - this is very specialized to Scientology or Dianetics - you can make him run as anchor points his concepts concerning the subject. such as his overt act-motivator sequence. See?

We have this preclear now to a point where he's getting, at least at this point, he's getting yank-ins and outs or some such thing. He's getting these tensional snap-lines and things like that. And it may be - it may be that some terrifically terrific thought has occurred to him. You suddenly find out that he has spent a year in prison. Well, believe me, that is the state fixing his space. Or even worse, he's been in the navy for a year or so, or he's been in the army.

You just say, "All right. Now make eight anchor points out of the overt act-motivator sequence." It's very interesting. Use survive as anchor points; use this as anchor points, that as anchor points. You can simply blow him to pieces.

It's not stepping out of line at all to vary the process at the moment he discloses this - or that he has sent somebody to prison, is what will turn up immediately after this, by the way, or he's done something to somebody. It's the overt act-motivator sequence. You're just getting space. It varies the procedure to have him put up some army hats or some navy hats or something of the sort as his next anchor points. It just varies it, you understand. It isn't good, it's just different. Just plain anchor points is always best because the more you let him think and the more you let him put up objects which are in terms of his immediate environment and this immediate culture, the more you're making him agree that the culture can affect him. So, you just have him put up anchor points. Well, you just go over it that way. I mean, just go round and round - just round and round - a bracket of six.

Now, a case who's really - who's really - doesn't want to cave in but is caving in, and so forth, will use as anchor points just this one thing: processing. That's very hard - I see a couple - a couple of - a couple of Step I's who are well up around here having to think for a moment in order to get that one in, but that's a fact. These people's condition is being solved by processing, not solved by getting well; because they know that in these techniques I've been working with and getting together here and we've been studying and so forth that the method to die painlessly is contained - to "not be anymore" with a total justification for not being anymore. You see? I mean, that's their total...

Now what questions are there on this?

And they're trying to solve "How do you die - how do you - how do you pass away and not be - how do you render yourself unpunishable so that you can get a few licks in yourself so that you can't be identified and still retain some personal memory on what you're doing?" The - death is not the perfect solution. It's a good solution, it's not a perfect solution, you see, so they're trying to better this solution of death before they take it as a plunge.

Female voice: You don't have somebody putting up anchor points for the person they were intended for. That is, having a third person for whom the anchor points were intended be in that space at all?

Now you'd say these people are suicidal. Well, every once in a while out in public or something of the sort, I've mentioned the fact that psychoanalysts during psychoanalyzing and the three months succeeding work with a psychoanalyst, the incidence of suicide is fabulous. Oh, it's just out of sight.

You can. You can vary it any way you want to. There is no significance to this beyond the fact that you've gotten the various combinations of thought and interpersonal relations and you're untangling them. The problem is essentially, one, the problem of co-ownership of MEST. You're trying to get the preclear up so he doesn't care who owns that stuff. He can use it for anchor points. You're booting him out of secrecy, hiding, protection, ownership, being dead, being invisible, all of these various things. You're just booting him right on up the line. That's why this is a terribly dangerous process and why I'm a very dangerous man to have released such a process.

I mean, any psychoanalyst - you could just sit back knowing nothing about his practice or anything of the sort, simply say, "Well, the suicides during the last month rather condemn what you're doing, don't they?"

You just keep this up. How many hours will it take? Well, on you I would say - on any case that's hanging fire around here - I'd say twenty or thirty hours of this, maybe fifty or sixty, maybe eighty, ninety, a hundred hours, or something like that, because of the case's time estimate having been processed for a long time on older techniques. Somebody who just walks in off the street, I'd say about five, ten to twenty minutes - case equally rough.

And he'll explain to you carefully how these three boys and these two ladies all came to him too late. He could have done something for them but they came too late. You didn't even know there had been any suicides in his practice. Well, you can just pick up a shotgun and just fire just on that basis and you've got it. There sure were.

And the other thing is, is a fellow can enjoy the hell out of this, by the way, First moment he sees some beautiful anchor points and Saint Elmo's fire glowing off the roofs of houses and lighting up the surrounding countryside and so on, he gets just real happy about it.

So, why is that? Well, these people have gone to the psychoanalyst to find out if there's some easier way to solve this thing than by going crazy or by dying. "Is there some way I can unload all this affinity with which I'm burdened so that I can then be completely free?"

I told you yesterday that you made MEST by pulling the affinity out of mass and energy, And therefore, you blow it up again by just adding some affinity to it. What is this stuff you're building automobiles out of and using for automobiles and wearing as clothes? What is this stuff that you're combing and - what is this stuff?

These people who want to - want to be completely free, they want to be free of affinity so that they can kick the bucket. And they find out there's no solution in psychoanalysis, so they just chuck in the sponge and blow their brains out or take strychnine, so forth.

Well, this process shows a fellow rather rapidly what stuff it is. It's just facsimiles gotten real hard. He eventually gets the idea, he eventually comes up the line and we can forecast this for you because you'll be running it yourself very shortly, but it's very amusing. When I first tripped into this level and just started applying basic definition of space to processing itself, as processing and I'd ask somebody to start this on the MEST universe and he'd come on up Tone Scale with great rapidity. "Gee," he says. "Yeah," he says, "it's a lot of work building this stuff" he says, "but you sure can enjoy it after you've got it. Yeah, a lot of work." Level of concern about the MEST universe.

& The easiest thing, the best thing a psychoanalyst could have done, knowing as little as he knew, was to have a book on painless ways to commit suicide. I, as a matter of fact one time, was very, very interested in the medical examiner of the city of New York, he was a good friend of mine. He's what compares to a coroner in the rest of the country, and this chap gave me quite a rundown, quite a rundown on how you went about the business of committing suicide painlessly. He'd made a great study of it, because he'd had lots of subjects to look at. And I should go and get hold of that fellow, and get him to write a little booklet on the subject in the society. And you'd find out it'd really sell wonderful, "A Thousand Ways to Commit Suicide Painlessly." Fabulous, huh? Alright

Of course, the idea that he's still got these particles around which have been made in the past, that doesn't upset him any, I mean, he might as well use secondhand anchor points as new anchor points. So what! Thirdhand anchor points, twelfthhand anchor points. Repair them if you want to. Work with them if you want to. If you don't have something to exert energy against, you're fighting nothing.

There's - you know what to do about such a case and pull it apart? Acceptance Level Processing on space. He doesn't want to be there. Use the anchor points that - "the effects which won't happen again," "the effects in processing which I can't have," you know, no effects from processing as anchor points. You'll find out that he starts to settle down to a long grind. He's depending on processing. He isn't depending on getting well. He isn't depending on getting better. He isn't depending on being more able or anything else. He's just depending on that one thing: processing.

Have I closed circuit on what I'm teaching you?

You take a capitalista - we have such a case, don't we? He's using as anchor points "dollars" and "no dollars." And that's the total anchor point.

If you get a guy to fighting nothing all the time, if he's just putting out his own anchor points all the time, all he can fight is his own anchor points. But if he's got something around there that is co-owned, somehow or another, he can at least satisfactorily, and rather pleasantly, lean up against it and get a nice hard shove back that often surprises him a great deal.

You wonder why it is - you go into a home that's not furnished in any good taste or anything... Somebody out in the street, he'll sit around and tell you about having made twenty-five thousand dollars that day by hooking Joe Blow and company, and so forth, and if you involve him in domestic affairs, it will simply be the cost of the rug, the price of the - the price of the van Gogh he has hanging up on the wall. I see a number of sighs. Evidently you've had conversations with these people. Van Gogh doesn't exist there, you see. There isn't a van Gogh there. There's something like seventy-five thousand bucks hanging on the wall. Everything is money. That's an anchor point. Money is an anchor point, that's all.

Now, it's up to you to know what this stuff is and it's up to you to use this technique.

Now, of course, their contest, then, becomes, "How do we grab everybody's anchor points? How do we get hold of everybody's anchor points?" Then "We can't have this kind of anchor point, so let's jettison this kind of anchor point and we'll have charity one way or another, so they can... We won't have charity, we don't want charity. You can't make any money out of it. Let's give it away." And then they find out, belatedly, that it cost them money too, but it was kind of surprising but that's the way it goes.

Now, I'm wasting auditing by not taking our rougher cases and going over them but there isn't much reason why I should. Because we're up at a level there where this technique doesn't get spoiled except as you might, as an auditor completely bust up with a preclear so badly that you drive the preclear out of communication entirely. That's about the only thing you could do because this keeps undoing these various things that are done with great speed. How fast does this blow a lifetime? Well, that's up to you to find that out. Just too fast actually. You've gone to all this work living all this horrible life and collect all this beautiful sadness. Just start putting up Spacation in brackets of six - gone!

Everybody has an anchor point which he's fixed on. If you hit it, as a pc, he's a solved case. Everybody has an anchor point he doesn't dare look at. Now, we've been going heavily on "he won't look; don't think, look." I've been waiting for somebody to pick it up on the reverse side because this process has been out long enough; matter of fixed and unfixed anchor points. To date nobody's mentioned it to me and they should have. Just bait lying there. There's the guy who's got to look. He looks and he looks and he looks and he looks, and he - that is to say he can't get any space into what he's looking at, so he can't disperse.

Oh, so you have to mock it all up again. You realize that you could have mocked up a much better life in the first place and that makes you feel very happy about the whole thing. And then, everybody knowing this technique knows you've probably mocked up the past you're talking about and so forth, and knows you probably aren't using the other because you had this technique used on you and probably you don't have the other and it's not true and it's not real, so they probably won't listen to you. So they probably don't have any sense of aesthetic anyway.

Now, you get the idea of a fixed beam going straight at one thing only. That's no space. That is no ability to spread one's attention span. And the preclear who's handling his body with beams has surrendered to this idea that "we've got to have these fixed spans on these certain subjects which are unmovable," and that, in essence, is automaticity. You just start letting space into it.

Boy, if you can get a thetan to communicate with a thetan in the lower stages of processing, you're really doing wonders. People say, once in a while - once in a while in a lecture, somebody will say to me, "Well, why don't you just talk to us on theta beams?" Somebody who's real mystic, you know; telepathy on the brain. Boy, if you can get any thetan after he's been exteriorized who hasn't had such a process as this run on him, such as making space for others, hrrr-murder! You haven't had this process run on him - just about as much as get him to listen to you as you'd get a bullet to stop in midflight and come back and load itself. They just don't hang around.

Well, how about letting space out of a case? Do you know that people will actually - they love this exercise of trying to make hard space. Trying to make hard, close, closed, tight space. So, we start running brackets of six whereby we pull in all the anchor points to a nice, tiny, closed-in space. We don't let it explode, you know. Just have a small space. And we pull in eight anchor points and we again have a small space. Eight anchor points and we again have a small space. So, bracket of six - people making small spaces for other people - bracket of six. Tiny spaces. Infinitesimally small and a great many of them for other people.

Now, in using this process, you can flub it any way you want to and it'll still pick itself up again. But you're into the over-the-border case - the process which lets itself be repeated. Those beautiful gold anchor points - once a fellow has seen those he'll give up an awful lot of beautiful sadness and motivator hunger just to have them again. They're really nice, nice; Saint Elmo's fire glowing all over everything.

Some of these people have let in enough space, accidentally into their body at one time or another, so they felt their body - some of them have - they're just suddenly going to go this way - poom They've got too much space, too much affinity, too much this and that. So, just let some of it out.

I've seen a preclear sit after I'd run this process on him, just sit and sit and do nothing but put it on top of lampposts and out in the street and put it on top of things. And he isn't actually in his body anymore, he gets so interested in doing this. He's just fooling around. It's sort of - he's reassuring himself "My God, it can happen after all these years”.

Will - people will begin to desire hate. They've gone too far on the no-space brackets.

Okay. Any questions about this again? I've presented it to you rather lengthily, rather discursively. One of the reasons I've done that is so you won't use it as a completely automatic process and so you can expect things to happen to personalities. Because they will.

I don't know - see anything else on this piece of paper. I haven't looked at it so far but it says up here at the top, it says "Suspense, guilty, wrong”. You know, must be elsewhere in terms of an anchor point. That's guilt. Or "I must be here and I'm not." Guilt. Now, get the lag index of the MEST universe. Star explodes, a million years later, by MEST universe waves, you see it. You could see it instantaneously yourself.

Male voice: Uh....

So, something might have happened somewhere which is now traveling toward one, see, and he probably shouldn't be there; and his is anxiety. "I probably shouldn't be here because something is liable to arrive here at any moment, although I can't perceive anything, even on the road to arriving here." That's the lag. And you'll find this person runs longer and longer communication lags. They're more and more concerned with the fact that it takes time for the message to get to them using MEST messages.

What?

All right. Now, I notice here, I've got start up - this is quite a button-wasting effects that could be produced on him. This is a button in passing. Use that for anchor points: effects that could be produced upon him, and you'll find out all sorts of strange things turn up to your pc.

Male voice: Just one question.

Now, it says, "Thetan wastes by giving things to the body, or giving effects to the body," and that is the little hidden sneaker that a person processing who isn't well exteriorized yet runs into. He thinks it's perfectly reasonable because he's doing it too. He thinks the fellow has an effect because it happened to the body. Nuh-uh. The fellow has wasted an effect if it happened to the body. The thetan wastes effects by having them happen to the body. See, that's a method of wasting.

Right.

Now, as one produces effects continually, the motivators must be adequate. You go on producing effects all the time, and all of a sudden no effects are produced on you, boy, it's really out of balance. See, you get stuck flows - good old stuck flows.

Male voice: This is a Step III process?

Well, we've covered negative anchor points. Here's a real hot button: there's "hope" as an anchor point and "reassurance" as an anchor point.

This is Step III. After you've done it for a while, you simply flip back to Step I, and let's go again.

I ran "reassurance" on a case one time. I ran two things on a case one time: "Reassurance" and "logic" was all I ran on this case using some of these techniques I've been giving you. Gee, I thought I'd have that fellow splattered all over the universe before I got through. I've never seen quite as much commotion. Oh yes, and "stopping the emotions of the opposite sex." That was it. "Reassurance," "logic," and "stopping the emotions of the opposite sex" and "hope." The guy goes to running consistently on "hope," you see, he's waiting for. And you as an auditor, trying to get an effect, well, he can only wait for an effect. This is rather silly, you see. He's lag-timed behind the auditing.

Male voice: But you wouldn't use it on...

Also knew a case one time that couldn't get an effect from auditing until two days had gone by. That's a nice long communication lag. That's all it is. You process something on this case and two days later, why, it would happen. How far removed might you say this person was from his own reality and control? Pretty far.

It's very surprising to find a fellow very often is already exteriorized before you got him to Step I.

And "the absence of effect one had once" - just as a button. "Let's use as anchor points now 'absences of effects that you've had.'" Just another way of stating something we've already been going over And particularly "no face" and "no body" as negative anchor points.

Male voice: You wouldn't use it on a lower-step case?

What's a negative anchor point? It's using something that isn't there as an anchor point. Using the fact that it's not there. Now, people do this who are rather high-toned. "Well, gee, it's a beautiful day. There's no trouble anyplace." I don't know how these two things go together, but they manage that. "It's a beautiful day, very restful. Wonderful, I just feel great, there's no trouble anyplace." It might be a terrible day, you see. They just don't see any "day" about it. The only thing they're concentrated upon is the fact they haven't immediately been accosted by trouble.

Hm?

Now, people get to a point where they will actually live from moment to moment on the no anchor point of trouble. See, no trouble. They can live for minutes, and breathe - no trouble.

Male voice: You wouldn't use it on a lower-step case?

Another thing, of course, that goes with that "mustn't be" and the negative guilt and so forth - that is a Change of Space drill. And it runs as a Change of Space drill. Let me make that much more clean That doesn't belong with anchor points; it's Change of Space drill - Change of Space Processing.

Than III? Yes. Yeah, I'd use it all the way through. I said - this is any one of these doggone Processes - you just keep nagging the fellow, plus and minus, long enough to get out of your head.

All right, now, "Let's get the place you're supposed to be and aren't. Let's be in a place you're supposed to be and aren't. All right, let's be where you are and waiting. Supposed to be and aren't. Where you are and waiting." You'll tear his flung-dunged head off. You can actually use that process and just take a V and just bodily blast him out of his body. Blast him! I mean, that's it because you're running back through - but you can expect him to be pretty doggone jittery in running this process.

You know, you don't realize that we're classified normally as - processing is some second cousin to therapy, you see; so we don't thoroughly appreciate the fact that this really isn't therapy we're doing. We're working with life. This is living we're doing. We're looking over the business of living and trying to take a deep breath right here in midflight down the time track, trying to discover whether or not there isn't something more to be known than what we've been doing. And you can actually exteriorize any case, including a psychotic case, merely by telling him to get out of a head. That's all you have to do, is just tell somebody to be out of his head or tell somebody not to be out of his head. You can do it right straight up. It - you see, it's this society that gives you the limitation.

Now, I heard of a little girl yesterday - just as a footnote to this lecture this morning, I heard of a little girl yesterday - somebody should take this lady today. I'll mention this case. I have to mention her name because it's her case. Her name is Allgood: A-l-l-g-o-o-d. And of course what she's using as anchor points, now that she is unable to be all good, is of course, "no evil." And she actually has - she actually has a rough problem. She has a little orphan and wanted processing for the little orphan. I said we'd better process the guardian of the orphan first. She - by the way, I didn't say that; she said so.

When I say that - when I say that, a Roman would understand this immediately, You can always get a guy out of his head, not necessarily by killing him. A Roman would say, probably, "Why, gee, you wouldn't even have to kill the tough case sometimes. Just be reasonable to him."

And a doctor cooperating with us gave this little orphan a short run - pam, pam - just nothing, you know. And upset the case just out of this world. Not because of inexpertness. What do you know? This is one of the first times I've ever seen this happen. Must - might have used it too rapidly and didn't use it on a gradient scale, but Contact Processing failed in that doctor's hands on a twelve-year-old girl. Step VII, SOP 8. She couldn't get the little girl to touch the room there.

You take anybody and shoot him in the arm with a hypo needle and tell him to leave and he'll go. Just lean over an unconscious man and so forth and say, "How about you - how about you going out and finding a baby in Arizona?" You'd have a dead body on your hands. They were that close. Many a doctor has sent his nurse for an instrument and the thetan has departed and the body died on the operating table. See what's basically haywire with engrams? See?

Now, the girl's guardian was going on and telling me at great length all about this, see. And going to tell me all about the case, and just simply told me in just so many words what the other doctor had done and all that sort of thing. And she just no more than went into that and said, "Well, the little girl was terribly upset and very agitated after she'd seen this doctor because the doctor wanted her to touch the wall, and was just very nervous and very upset so I wouldn't want that to happen to her again." Well, I don't know. There might have been a personality conflict or something of the sort, But my God, look at that case!

"Go down in the next block and get me a paper." If - see - if he just said go down the next block or go into the next room or something like that forcefully enough to a thetan that thinks it ought to be obedient when it's anesthesed, why, you'd get results, you see? I mean, you're really handling dynamite.

I said "Madam you have told me all that you need to tell me concerning this twelve-year-old case." This kid is in school and... Parents are divorced, nobody cares about her, nobody cares for her or anything of the sort. But this case is - this is a running "not want to be in this universe" with only the velocity which could be assumed by a twelve-year-old girl. Nobody can get her to touch the room, my God, how does she bear to walk? She probably doesn't.

There's nothing easier than to hypnotize somebody and say, "All right, now be in Philadelphia. Now be in the city hall. Are you in the city hall? Very good. Grab a hold of the mayor's head. You've got his head? Now, give him a terrible headache. You've done that? That's very good. Now be back in your body, 3-2-1 wake up."

If you were to process this little girl, you'd probably start in right there, the constant point of contact which is her feet against the floor.

And this is very elementary stuff we're playing with. I mean, these things happen. These are the routine. But people can't dare - don't dare look at that routine at any time. It's too simple. Really spoil the game like mad. Well, how would you have the game "army or army air force" being run on Earth, if all the political problems of Earth were simply solved by one guy in a government office with dirty shirt sleeves, or something of the sort, who merely did a little hypnotizing of young boys that he picked up down at the orphanage, and they went over and put all the political opponents of the nation into a frame of mind necessary to resolve all the problems of the international situation? And yet you could do that, you see, but you'd just spoil that game "army," You'd spoil the game "taxpayer," too. Now, all of those problems would get spoiled.

Very, very interesting. I've never had - never even had a psycho take off on that line. This doctor must either have done it to her too fast, too much rapidity involved, or just flubbed the dub entirely.

Well, all right. You very well may, as you run this process, you. I told you in advance that you can be fully prepared to run it on somebody in this unit here much longer than you'd run it on somebody off the street. Not that the cases are resistive because the fellow is here with a different idea. He wants to see what's happening! Your task is to make it happen to him not to something which he mocks up so he can inspect it, so that he can study it and know more about it.

Okay. This lady, by the way, will be in for a 3:00, and I don't know, we could just do all kinds of things with this case, undoubtedly, but I think a short run by somebody here might do something interesting - just a charity case. Somebody for you to work on.

So, let's just get busy and I'm it's probably premature of me to push this process through like this for the good reason that I don't have to get out and scrounge up some preclears. I think that possibly I'll do something on polio. You think I ought to do something on polio? Would you like to see a few cases suddenly walk again or something like that? Okay, I'll do something about that today.

Now there's somebody shaking his head - "Oh, boy!"

That's the end of the talk.

What would you do with that case, though? I've just told you about the lady. What would you do with the lady?

Miss Allgood, her name is.

Male voice: Use "no evil" as anchor points.

Huh?

Male voice: Use "no evil" as anchor points.

That's right. And also because it's Miss Allgood, you would put up "no man" as anchor points. She mentioned it to me. You could do this on a six-way drill. I wouldn't go at the case that way. I'd get real smart about this case. I'd get real sneaky about this case. I'd do something very covert with this case. I'd use SOP 8. I'd say, "Well, all right, now, can you get the idea, or can you be a couple, three feet back of your head? No? Well, that's just a test we use, you know. No reason to get upset. Now, it just measures the amount of reaction time you have on being startled. Good. Now, the next thing is, can you get a picture of yourself out there standing - facing...? Oh you - well, that's all right. You don't have any truck with these mental pictures. Well, it's all right. Some people do, you see. It's very wrong when they do, of course, we know that. All right. Now, let's see if you could get a white ball out in front of you there and hold it steady." That being still the best test I know for a III without going into any further lines. "Oh you can't? It keeps flying off at odd angles, hm?" Well, I would just jump IV and go into Exteriorization by Scenery, maybe. Probably skip that, and V. "Well, now, let's remember something real." And there you would go. The lady would feel much better and everything would work out fine.

In the case of the little girl, if somebody had done SOP 8, they might have sprung a lock or two or oriented her up to a point where you could have done step VII, because the little girl might have been in an anxiety concerning what was going to happen to her in that office, see? A lot of factors could have entered in there. That's just a bad deal when you can't get a little kid to touch a wall or something.

But I would have asked her to touch some MEST, not a wall. A wall is something that stops one, and this girl is very literal. I'd have said, "What is the realest thing there is in this room?" you know. Just routine, standard procedure. "What's the realest thing in this room to you? Oh, I am? Well, okay. What part of me is the most real? My shoe. Good. Let's see if you can touch it. Good. Now, let's see if you can withdraw from it. Good. What's something else real around here. Oh, still me, huh? Well, all right. Now, how about reaching out and touching my fingers. Okay. Now, we're talking. Good. All right, what else is - looks good and real to you? Oh, you think that pack of cigarettes looks quite real. Why don't you reach out and touch them now.”

It's a gradient scale of doing Step VII. You let them determine what's real to them. In other words, you're asking them, "What can you touch around here?" When you say, "What's real," you're saying, "What can you touch?"

A person's reality is as great as they can touch the anchor points of space with which they're surrounded. There isn't any more to reality than that, man.

If you ever - if you ever had one of these shocking, horrible moments of awful bad news being given to you and have felt the entire MEST universe just move in on you like that and be right here, for instance. You'll know, if we've ever processed a preclear, he - when you hit these moments of unreality, it's just completely unfixed attention, see. No attention. Mmmm. You're at a point of the no attention, which is no anchor points, no space, no nothing, and you've brought him to the inconceivable point of zero.

What's his reality on that? Well, he can't have any reality because it's untouchable in the first place. The actual thing he made there is something that can't be touched. Every once in a while you'll have a preclear mock up something, and you can't find out anything about it. You have a hell of a time. You can't discover what he has mocked up. They'll do that for two reasons. Way upscale, that's just a game - mock up something that you have - that has tremendous no significance.

Okay, any questions?

& Male voice: Is Allgood the child's guardian or is she someone else?

& She's the child's guardian, but I don't know quite; the child lives with her all the time. She probably is having a rough time of it, a little bit. She's a bit, got a lot of energy starvation. I imagine a case a bit better off, but more determined morally than the one you processed about, a short time ago. Well I'm not asking you to do anything, you can stop looking disturbed, Tooley. You have a preclear, I have to push this one around.

& Male voice: She said she wanted to see me out in the hall yesterday.

& That's right. That's right, I saw her.

& Male voice: I wonder if [continues with "you could" below.]

Male voice: You could tell me - how did you say you'd go about Step II? I missed Step II when I was writing down...

You shouldn't have been writing it down, now, that's right, because that piece of paper can't remember a thing. That's all right though. When one turns around and starts to instruct on this, only to have to be able to do it, it's a good thing to have notes. But it's better to know your subject A to izzard.

Now, on Step II, what would you tell them to do?

Male voice: Yes, I...

Oh, I'd just get a picture of yourself out there with your back to you. Preclear would make all sorts of weird comments to you when you ask them to do these things. "A picture of me? Well, that's childish. One's not supposed to have pictures," you see.

Actually you could take the preclear right at that moment and do some very interesting tricks with them. You could say, "All right. Get something out in front of you; say, 'Now I'm supposed to. Now I'm not supposed to. Now I'm supposed to. Now I'm not supposed to.'" Just have something say that in front of the preclear if he - and he goes nyaa, whoa. They sure know something's happened.

Okay. Let's call it a morning.

& On the assignment...
