Because, really, if you attacked the preclear directly, you would find out that you had selected him as the counter-effort and selected as your effort his aberrations and, of course, would swamp him.

Now, however much this has been in practice in old psychetherapy, however much this has been done here and there, it is not advisable in this field to select the aberrations of the preclear as your allies. Because then you line them up so that you and his aberrations attack him and his basic personality, and of course he won't come up the Tone Scale.

What you want to do is take the preclear as your effort and select out as the counter-effort his aberrations.

Now, when you walk up to a preclear and you say something-"You're always saying something or other, something or other. Well, who said that!" Now, you're making yourself big, tough and strong by making an ally, an effort, out of his counter-efforts, and you're attacking him. Therefore, you reduce him on the Tone Scale quite markedly.

If you walk up to him and said - no matter how strange this might sound to him - if you walked up to him and said, "You know, knowing the family you've got, you must be an awfulIy tough guy to kick back all these aberrations." He'd come up the~one Scale whether he liked it or not, even though he might say, "What a corny remark" or something of the sort. He couldn't help it because you've selected him as an effort and his aberrations as a counter-effort.

Now, one of the mechanisms of society in the control of individuals is: "Criticism is good for you. We are giving you constructive criticism," Now, if you give a person enough constructive criticism, he'll cease to exist. If you give an artist enough constructive criticism, he will utterly cease to "art."

This practice in the American university is responsible for the fact that the American university has proven itself completely incapable of teaching any of the arts, in any university, in any part of the country, under any management. I don't want to be particular or selective about this.

A poll ofthe American Fiction Guild in the old days demonstrated that we had one major in English literature in our midst - one - who had studied writing in a university, It was a good university, and he'd studied all the way through and he'd gotten A straight through to the end. This fellow was a literary agent, Now, you see, that set him up beautifully.

Now, all of our constructive criticism, examining the fellow on this and examining the fellow on that, and doing something or other about trying to grade him and make him better and improve his imagination and do this about him and do that about him and do something else, is validating his inabilities and invalidating his abilities.

Now, the field of the arts must be of all things the most selfdetermined of any of man's activities. An artist who is not operating on his concept and his own interpretation, or a group of artists which are not operating on their interpretation of the material universe and the human race and the dynamics in general, will not produce art! This accounts for Hollywood. [audience laughter]

Now, when we have, then, constructive criticism, we only have a vicious method of reducing an individual's self-determinism, his ability and his reasoning powers - to keep him from producing. Grim!

"But, you know, you have to accept it because it's - I'm saying it for your own good, And I wouldn't really tell you this, but people really don't like you and if I - you know, they of course don't like to admit it - they don't say it to your face or anything like that - but if you'd just dress better, I think you'd get along fine," That's a very overt level.

And, "Yes, my dear, I think your hat is just stunning; I've thought so for years." That's on a covert level, But that's all on the same line, What passes for conversation amongst the "normals" today is actually very bitter, destructive invective, if you want to know the truth. Now, the criticism I have made of the American university and its utter and complete and dismal inability to instruct in the field of the arts is not intended personally for anyone in the universities And it is said only in sympathy for a student who has been subjected to this line.

The American universities two years ago graduated two hundred and eighty thousand Bachelors of Art - no artists. Supposing you graduated into a society two hundred and eighty thousand clear-eyed, well-trained, well-schooled, practiced artists. You would see that society change in its shape, color and structure in a single generation above the maddest dreams of anyone.

Well, a preclear is making himself very, very vulnerable indeed when he permits himself to be audited. And he is expecting you to validate him and his self-determinism as much as possible and fight against his aberrations. Your constant hammering and insistence that he is succumbing to his aberrations will cause him to succumb to them. Because what you're doing is telling him, "Now, the reason you can't run these is because you can't run them because they're too strong for you, and you actually are them, and how do you know that these aren't you, and where are you anyway?" He would become in very, very bad condition.

In order to produce good, solid results with a preclear, you have to validate his ability to run an incident. You could even cheer a preclear up through an incident where he's suddenly bogging, by not giving him sympathy. Not invalidating him, you understand, but don't give him sympathy - saying, "Yes, I know it's awfully tough, but let's try to run it anyway."

You should tell him, "Well, go ahead, the worst it can do is kill you" - something on that order. You consider it's a sort of a crack he isn't quite expecting out of you; you're not giving him sympathy. Therefore if you don't give him sympathy, it means you don't pity him. That means he's not down Tone Scale. That means he can probably run it.

Or if you said to him, "Well, go ahead, let's get rid of this lock where this truck runs over you and get in some real stuff," And by golly, that truck incident, if you say that, even if he knows you're joking, has a tendency to bloeu just on that, because he changes his evaluation of the incident.

People who stand around somebody that has had an accident occur to them and say sympathetic things: "You poor fellow. I'm so sorry that it happened. Oh, how will - I'll do my best to help you get over this." It means, "You poor boob, I can't possibly see how you would ever recover from anything like this, you weakling, and somehow or other I am going to give you enough of a helping hand so you can get your jellylike limbs and spirit into line."

Now, there are three levels of doing something for a preclear, One is to do something for him and get him over his aberration, and the next is to make him comfortable, keep him up along the line, keep his tone from dropping any; and if you can't do that, you can give him sympathy. Because if you can't do steps one and two for him, he must be almost dead. He is so close to the bottom and so close to being on his way out that of course, if you gave him sympathy, it would bring him up to 0.5 or something.

Sympathy is a two-edged sword. It is a weapon used by the overtly vicious to kill. And it is used also by individuals upon the almost dead to get them up enough so they'll live. It depends where a preclear is whether you really can give him any sympathy at all or not. But I have never found sympathy to pay off.

A preclear came in one time, I rernernber this guy, this fellow was a wonderful case, an example of the fact that motion goes through an apathy case - goes through apathy. Because if you had picked up his little finger and touched it again, you just - motion would have just gone through it. You probably could have taken a sword and run him through the middle, and he probably would - never would have quivered. It just would have gone through him. He wouldn't even have looked through you - at you reproachfully. I mean, that would have required too much motion. He was really almost gone out the bottom.

And he came in and he sat down and he started talking a little bit about "how horrible the world had been to him." Well, now I didn't tell him that the world was horrible to him so that it stuck. I sympathized with him. Oh, I just sympathized with him all over the place.

And all of a sudden he realized I couldn't be possibly sympathizing with him to this extent, and he started to get annoyed. And he came clear up to 1.5. And he came up from 1.5, tapered off to about 2,2, and he ran like a well-oiled clock afterwards. The way I did this, simply, he'd tell me, "My ~other - and my mother was always mean to me and she beat me every day."

And I would say, "Gosh, every day. Did she beat you Sundays too!" (laughter) And he'd start in on it to give you - some sympathy again and then you would say, "Oh, on Sundays! Then she wasn't a Christian, was she!" No - just non sequitur about this whole thing. And he came up the Tone Scale and he showed me he could run engrams - "Raaaaah-rrrahrrrrah! " - he ran engrams.

All right. Your attitude toward the preclear is differentiated by whether or not you're willing or unwilling to do anything for the preclear, and then whether you're going to validate the preclear or validate his aberrations.

All right. Your attitude toward the preclear is differentiated by whether or not you're willing or unwilling to do anything for the preclear, and then whether you're going to validate the preclear or validate his aberrations.

Now, your willingness or unwillingness to help him will be dependent upon whether or not you have any sneaking idea in the back of your head as to whether or not you're going to use any of his aberrations or not for your own control of him. Just ask yourself that.

You very often find out the preclear reminds you of your greataunt Agatha that you would dearly love to have busted the head of. And Aunt Agatha you were never able to control but, boy, you sure can control this preclear now. Ha-ha! And you're going to get there. And the next thing you know, you find yourself just butchering this preclear,

And the next thing you know, you find yourself just butchering this preclear,

And you say, "I wonder why I'm doing that!" Butcher, butcher, slash, cut. "Well, you've only got that half run out. Well, let's go on to this later incident." Knowing full well that later incidents reduce much less easily than earlier incidents,

So it's a very good thing to ask yourself, "Let's see. Is there any reason why I don't want this preclear to get well!" And you're liable to straightwire out of a very startled you, the fact that you don't want this preclear to get well. Why not! Well - uh - umm... perhaps you've got this feeling like this person needs sympathy. And then you find out that this girl reminds you of the first girl you had in this life and this girl jilted you and you felt very sorry for it ever since. But when she did come back and tried to make it up with you, you found out that by being mean to her that made her feel - you know, and you get this terrific computation just going around in your head about some girl way back someplace or other that has nothing to do with this preclear.

So you want to ask yourself that question. And you'll blow out these similarities of earlier persons to the preclear or difficulties which you are having in present time - financial, social, familial; any difficulty you're having in present time that might make it desirable for this preclear to stay on his present plane instead, of rise.

Be fair with yourself. You very often discover that in spite of you being you and being fully, actually determined to do your level best in this one particular case, there's a little bug there that if you got it out and recognized it, all of a sudden, you'd find the preclear very easy to run.

Now, there's this one: You're about to run a preclear through an incident which you haven't had run on you - a standard incident like Facsimile One. And you want to ask yourself, "Now, do I want to run this preclear!" You want to recognize "I haven't had Facsimile run yet. And it's possible if I run Facsimile One on this preclear, I'm liable to get restimulated. These somatics are liable to turn on," so on~ "Am I willing to take this aboard!" And if you decide flatly that you are: "Sure, all right; so it doesn't matter. I probably won't get restimulated, Let's postulate that I won't, But if I do, it doesn't matter. And I'm going to go ahead and run the preclear." And you'll find out, then, that you won't be hauling out of this session halfway through and saying, "Oh, I can't go on, I've got such a terrible headache. My teeth are all hurting, and that something that just hit me in the stomach. I just can't go on running this preclear. "

So you want to take care of that one. And if halfway through the session, you find for some specious reason - you somehow or other realize this is specious - that you want to quit this session although the time isn't up, you want to knock off and go someplace else and you suddenly remembered an appointment somewhere or other, you grab yourself by the nape of the neck (you can, you know) and you say to yourself, "Now, let's see, um, why do I want to end this session!" And you'll find out they just hit something that was probably very hot - in you! And so you just grit your teeth and carry on. You see, you can.

There isn't any reason you have to either go down Tone Scale or be restimulated or anything else if you don't want to be. The liabilities of your auditing of the preclear is just something that you should assess for every preclear you run. And you ought to kind of look it over before each session you run on the preclear just to see if this is all right now, we're all clear and we're going to run fine, and it's fine.

For instance, one day - I seldom was anywhere near the old Foundation, any one of the old Foundations, almost never inside their doors after the month of July 1950 - and I ran into an auditor, a staff auditor, in the hall and I said, "How are you getting along! I understand, somebody told me over the phone, that you're - were running a psychotic. How are you getting along!" "Huuhh. Well, it's all right. It's fine - and - hm ..." Goodness. I turned around to somebody and I said, "How's the psychotic!" "Well, her husband took her home yesterday." "Well, she was only here two days."

"Well, they had to. The psychotic went into hysterics and wouldn't stay around. Husband took her home and couldn't do anything for her. Dianetics couldn't help her." That's what they were practicing then.

"So what gives!" I said.

"So what gives!" I said.

"Well, she just was such a terrible psychotic, there just was no possible hope for doing anything about her at all! And so I couldn't do anything for her, so the humane thing to do was to permit her to be taken home."

"Well, she just was such a terrible psychotic, there just was no possible hope for doing anything about her at all! And so I couldn't do anything for her, so the humane thing to do was to permit her to be taken home."

And I said, "When did you have anything to do with psychotics!" And this auditor kind of gulped and said, "Well, I was a psychiatric aide in Brooklyn Medical Terminal Spinbin or some such name.

And I said, "Oh, you were!" I said, "Did you ever have any experience with a psychotic who reminded you of this woman?" And this girl had been standing there, this auditor, she'd been shaking - she was usually a very good auditor - and she was just shaking all over up to this point.

This auditor had been attacked by the almost exact facial and physical duplicate of the preclear that had come in, had been attacked, clawed, had one eye almost pulled out, had her hair pulled out by handfuls and nobody had come to her rescue. And she just buried the whole incident and let this poor psychotic be taken home, four or five hundred miles away, by omitting step one.

Instead of stopping the session at that moment and saying to myself, "Somehow or other this person restimulates me; there is some reason why I can't make this person well" and going outside and getting a cup of coffee and let the preclear sit there on the couch and contemplate the sins of the world or something of the sort, this auditor goes on plowing along, plows the preclear into more somatics, more somatics.

What's this auditor trying to do to this preclear? She's trying to cripple the preclear so the preclear can't attack her? And being an auditor and working with - faster than light with how do you cripple a preclear, well, you turn on enough somatics and leave enough of them turned on so the preclear is completely crippled up and can't strike you and claw your eyes out and pull your hair out.

You can call this "clearing for the session," And if you clear just by recall for the session, you'll find out that you will spend much less time in the session.

If you went and sat down in a corner facing the wall and said the alphabet backwards a couple of times and went through several rituals, and it took you two hours before every session to find out and scan and work with and get out of the road of every reason why you didn't want this preclear to be well, you would save time on three hour sessions - if you spent two of those three hours figuring out why you didn't want this preclear well. Because Facsimile One says, "You don't want anybody well. People are dangerous. People had better be controlled." And it will form locks right up into near present time.

An auditor, after he's audited preclears for a while gets - when he's not had his early incidents run - gets into a state whereby he is strong enough to carry on forward and try and try and try, and he thinks he's fighting preclears, and he's not fighting preclears at ail. He's fighting the sum total of all the times he didn't clean up preclears before he audited them - on himself.

And he just gets to a point finally where he feels like he's wading through glue, and preclears stop running for him because he's elected them as counter-efforts. He's elected them as individuals as counterefforts, he's elected their aberrations as counter-efforts, he's elected everything as counter-efforts and then he elects himself as a countereffort against himself. Why not just throw a bomb at the preclear and let it go at that? (laughter)

There's notfiing very mystical or metaphysical about this; this is very factual because it will show in your voice tone. It will show in your general attitude toward the preclear no matter how much you try to suppress it.

Since I had a preclear once that I - just out of orneriness I suppose - I detested him. To this day I've never wiped up this preclear in the bank. I detested him, so I've continued to elect him as counter-effort.

You would spend two or three hours of every time you audited him, out of maybe four or five hours, arguing with him about pointless things, about this and that. And he was so insidiously clever that he could get through the armor somehow or other.

"I didn't say anything," he'd say, completely reversing your reality on everything and so on. And then he would suddenly start to brag about having done the most gruesomely detestable things - ooh? Oh, you know, like sadistic rape of little children and so on. And be so proud of it? So happy about the whole thing.

A long while Later, another auditor got ahold of this preclear and started bringing the preclear up the line and got him back up the Tone Scale to where he was his old self again, and learned all about how he was a case failure as far as I was concerned.

Of course, the preclear got about four or five sessions after that and got driven back down the Tone Scale again. (laughter) Now, that's one of the reasons I invented the Handbook for Preclears. Now, you be very, very cognizant of this fact: Every once in a while you're going to get ahold of somebody that you just would rather drown. You would just rather burn them alive inch by inch than even touch them. You might not find out why, if you haven't got the basic facsimiles run out.

If you're crowding through this and working anyhow without having had a complete clear of your own bank, you'll run into this once in a while. And you'll search in vain: "Is he like Grandpa? Is he like Grandma? No, I like Grandpa and Grandma. Is it like that hired man? No, it wasn't the stable boy that beat the horse. Who was it?" You'll find out it was somebody in the year 1035 A.D. or something like that, that burned a nun who was a friend of yours, or something of the sort. I mean, it'll be something very deep, buried, and involved and long lost.

By the way, you can put yourself on a psychometer and ask yourself, "Is there any reason why I don't want to audit this preclear?" And if there is, it'll go bop And you'll say, "Is it in this life?" No answer. "Earlier life? How early? Ten lives ago? Twenty lives? Two thousand years ago? Thousands of years ago? Tens of thousands of years ago?" Bop.

And you find out this preclear looks something like a monkey And you suddenly get this little somatic of a monkey eating your nose off while you lie dying or something. Oh, anything, it doesn't matter, but you can actually find it on the machine.

But once in a while you might not have a machine handy and you'd just rather kill this preclear - or once in a while, the preclear himself is a walking, living overt act. (laughter) At that moment (and this is not the sole reason for that - oh no, very far from it), but at that moment when you recognize that the situation is going to be very rough and so forth, you get somebody in his environment who detests this person or who wants to force this person, control this person; explain to them how this handbook will make it possible to do so invariably; and then make them responsible for making sure the preclear works the handbook. And the preclear will come back to you much less detestable and easier to run. This is something which - one use of the handbook.

You'll find that many preclears will use the most obviously reasonable but completely specious reasons as to why you aren't doing a good job. They will find reasons why you aren't doing a good job. They will find reasons to drop curves on you.

Because there you sit all proud of having made this preclear better, then the preclear says, "Well, I've seen better auditing in a slaughterhouse," or something.

What you've done, if you are taken aback by this, is failed to estimate where you have brought the preclear to on the Tone Scale. Because you quite often are auditing somebody below - well below 2,0, well below 1.0, quite often, without really realizing it, until you see them start coming up through the bands.

Wham - up they'll come. They'll come up to covert hostility. Covert hostility, remember, is a better and higher tone than grief, regardless of how simple it seems to be to get along with a person who is in grief or in apathy. You pick up their hand and you put it there and they stay there. And you say, "You're supposed to say something now," and they say something. You're their self-determinism in this case.

But as you bring this person up the line, they get up to 1.1 or 1.5 and they'll drop a horrendous curve on you, maybe very overtly and maybe very covertly.

They may say suddenly - you were getting along just fine with this preclear - this little girl, she's so pathetic and she seems so sweet and everything, and you were helping her out so much. And suddenly she says, "I probably shouldn't tell you this but you remember the preclear you audited last week? You know, the one that you helped so much. Well, I think her family put her in an insane asylum yesterday." Zzzzoom! See? Builds you up - you're getting proud, you see, of the fact you've done something - and then "Zzzong!" drop the curve on you quick? Or just suddenly crowds you with anger.

Now remember, you're being agreeable with this preclear, you're in affinity with this preclear and so forth, and so you can be taken very much by surprise by it. Because your tone - you're estimating their tone as apathy, so in being agreeable with them, you are actually to some slight degree putting yourself in apathy. And you've brought them up the Tone Scale and they suddenly hammer apathy with anger. And so it comes down on you rather heavily sometimes if you don't understand this clearly.

Now, if you get a preclear up over 2.0, you're sailing. Of coursg, you have to be prepared for the 2.5 band. And the 2,5 band says "Well, I'm getting along fine anyhow; there isn't much use to it. I don't know why we're putting in all this work. I guess it's all run out anyhow right now; it's all done - as much as can be done. There isn't much use in going on. I haven't - there isn't much to live for anyway, but if you don't care, it doesn't matter."

Of course, that's a sort of a mixture of - it sounds like apathy to you - it sounds like they're back down at the bottom. They're not. They're just hitting 2.5.

Of course, that's a sort of a mixture of - it sounds like apathy to you - it sounds like they're back down at the bottom. They're not. They're just hitting 2.5.

Then they'll start in on this level: "Well, there's uh, uh - oh, it's fine. It's run out. It's run out. Oh, I'm so sick of running this. Why do I have to go through it again? I have to run out - it's - I'm tired of it." They're at 2,5 - and just a hair above.

Now, the next time you run the incident through on them, they're liable to be up - or the next time you see them in the session - they're liable to be up a little bit more than that so that they are being flippant and are apparently really up there high, you know?

They're talking about Mother and they're saying, "Well, the old lady does so-and-so and then, of course, after she soaks my head in a barrel of boiling tar, so forth, why, then we go on with the rest of the accident, and so forth, and that's all there is to the incident." And you're supposed to say, "Ha-ha-ha," and let it go because there can't be any more to it. Oh no! You see, the incident you were running was this individual getting burned or something, and Mama dropped the grease on it and it felt hot or something. They have made a remark which indicates there is still content to the incident.

Now, how you get that without really crowding him and saying, "Look, you're still talking out of your aberrations" - you don't want to tell preclears that. They're practically doing nothing else but talking out of their aberrations when you first get ahold of them, but that's the point. You don't want to validate this.

"Well, let's run it again just to make sure." And then they'll run this incident which suggested actually getting their head boiled in tar or something. They meant this to be very flippant.

When they come up to a complete release on the incident, it is funny. It's funny. They'll laugh about it. They're liable to laugh about it far beyond anything you ever expected to be laughed. That is sometimes very, very discouraging to an auditor when he can't stop a preclear from laughing. Because it will sound to the preclear's family like he's suddenly gone into hysterical mania of some sort and has gone completely insane because he can't stop laughing. And the laughter seems to be rather strained to them and forced because it's awfully loud and "he never laughed before."

This preclear is practically blowing his whole life and he's blowing it at umpteen decibels. That is a line charge. And I have seen preclears go on a line charge for days and days and days. The longest line charge I think I've seen offhand is about seven days. Once in a while, the old Foundation used to get somebody up to four or five hours, sometimes ten hours, sometimes twenty-four hours - rarely anything beyond that. It's very beneficial. If you can get a preclear started on a line charge, you show him any word, any phrase, and he will promptly start to go out on another blast of laughter. What he's doing is blowing the whole chain of associations.

If you start feeding him things that are very sad, he will laugh even harder. So you say, "Well now, look, Look, take this seriously. Let's be serious" - reverse vector on him, see. He's laughing: you're trying to get him to be serious. And the more you try to get him to be serious, the harder he'll laugh, by the way. And you say, "All right, now, let's remember something sad. Let's remember the time your mother almost died."

"Oh, yeah? Ha-ha." And then off into another roaring spin of laughter.

What's he laughing about? Well, he's laughing off sudden relief from the recognition of the fact that his mother didn't die. He'll express it in some other way. And you keep a preclear rolling on this.

Now, another thing that will happen to an auditor is you get a preclear halfway through an incident and the preclear starts to scream. Now, preclears can scream. Don't disabuse yourself of the idea that a preclear won't scream. A preclear screams.

I had a preclear one time start screaming at two o'clock in the morning. Came in, leaned on the doorjamb, almost collapsed in my arms - was in horrible shape, he said, and I ran him - just started to lock-scan off the data. And he ran right straight into the incident which an auditor had nicked but hadn't run. This fellow was in terrible shape anyhow. He was a psychotic.

You talk about volume of sound? A human being can't make that much sound, that's all there is to it! It's completely ear-shattering, nerve-shattering, R-r-r-r-r,r-r! What sound volume you'll run into with some of these.

Sit there and cover up your ears and say, "Go over it again." That's kind of rough for bn auditor to face, by the way - a screamer.

Or a terror charge: A terror charge can be so great that it will actually make the bed chatter up and down against the floor. An anger charge can be so heavy that a preclear is liable to bang his fist right straight through a wall. Been done many times. A preclear may be so involved in the incident he's running, he's so completely unaware of his environment, he is utterly revivified in the incident, that he'll start banging his head against the wall, actually maiming himself. Well, of course, what you ought to do is .. Well, it's a good thing to try to interpose a pillow between himself and the wall.

And a preclear will roll back and forth on the bed sometime. You as an auditor, by the way, go through terrific gyrations watching the preclear do this and do that, because you'll brace yourself, you see, to keep the preclear from rolling off the bed, and you'll reduce your own vocal cords to keep his from bursting and you'll try to make tears come in your eyes to make him cry and all sorts of weird things. You'll pick up his somatics so he can get rid of them. And by the way, you'll turn on your own somatics so that you can get his on. You try and try and try to turn on his somatics, his somatics, his somatics, and all of a sudden your own come on. His don't.

And in short, in short, you can really work at this, and when you have engrams - particularly Facsimile One and so on - in place yourself, why, you've just got to be prepared to go through a little more hell than you would ordinarily expect in the routine business of living.

But at no time should an auditor ever back down - should an auditor ever back down! At no time should an auditor ever fail to finish off an incident regardless of the mood, words or emotion of the preclear.

You realize that people low on the Tone Scale - below 4.0 - have a great deal of difficulty in committing overt acts. Auditing looks like an overt act. Maybe someplace, maybe you killed some girl or a cat or something and it screamed and you were sorry for it afterwards. The preclear starts to scream, and all of a sudden you get the idea that you're committing an overt act against the preclear. So you haul off and try to make it up to the preclear by patching him up somehow or another instead of letting him scream.

You have to be willing as an auditor to butcher that preclear - just butcher him from a standpoint of letting him scream, letting him run somatics, letting him hurt, letting him emote and so on. That is not an overt act.

It'll just be some old overt act of your own against another dynamic which will go into restim sometimes in running a preclear. It makes you appear to be in the position of an offender. The reaction of an offender is to try to regret it and make it up to. And, of course, that's sympathy and that'll ruin your preclear!

So sometimes you'll be running this incident and the preclear will go into a terror charge and start to scream .. And what do you do?

So sometimes you'll be running this incident and the preclear will go into a terror charge and start to scream .. And what do you do?

You say, "My God, here I am making him scream. I guess I'm choking him," which is what you did some - at some earlier time to somebody.

You say, "My God, here I am making him scream. I guess I'm choking him," which is what you did some - at some earlier time to somebody.

And you say, "Well, um, um, uh, are there any locks on this? Are there any locks on this? Is there any present time locks on this?" And the preclear will say, "Yeah. Hm, yeah," He'll stop screaming. "Yeah, there's a present time lock on this," "What happened?"

And you say, "Well, um, um, uh, are there any locks on this? Are there any locks on this? Is there any present time locks on this?" And the preclear will say, "Yeah. Hm, yeah," He'll stop screaming. "Yeah, there's a present time lock on this," "What happened?"

"Well, I saw this little girl scream. Yeah. I think Mother was taking a sliver out of her finger and she was screaming. That's right." "Well, begin at the beginning of this lock."

"Well, I saw this little girl scream. Yeah. I think Mother was taking a sliver out of her finger and she was screaming. That's right." "Well, begin at the beginning of this lock."

Whoohh. And you feel this terrific sensation of relief inside yourself. "Gosh, I guess I got out of that."

Whoohh. And you feel this terrific sensation of relief inside yourself. "Gosh, I guess I got out of that."

Yeah, you got out of it, but you left the preclear in a terror charge. You can make people pretty sick doing this to them. Run it through! Bull it through! Slam it through! One way or the other.

The best remedy for an auditor, of course, is to be in a frame of mind where he's willing to commit any overt act in order to get the preclear well - -any overt act to get the preclear well. Frame of mind.

By the way, that frame of mind of rather - even flippant determination - "Well, go ahead, run it! So it'll kill you; go ahead, run it. You say your lungs are sore from screaming? Well now, let's see, let's see. Maybe if we ran that earlier incident, why, maybe you could really blow them out of your chest. Let's run it!" And you'd be surprised how many times a preclear who is low on the Tone Scale will respond to this and come up Tone Scale toward your level and run it. But you have to be willing to commit an overt act.

That doesn't mean that you actually will go out and get a baseball bat and hit him over the head with it. But if you were to think that hitting him over the head with a baseball bat would run out the incident and make him well, hit him over the head with a baseball bat. I mean, that's got to be your mood. "We're going to make this person well. Wham. The only thing that's making him sick is aberration. He wants to be well and I want him to be well. So what? Let's roll. He's going to get well, that's all there is to that." Surety. Consideration.

You take a business which is managed by an individual who is afraid to hurt people. That business is going to fail. The employees are going to be unhappy and there's going to be a lot of people hurt. Lots of people are going to get hurt by somebody who is afraid to hurt people.

Now, the point I'm making is that you can hurt a lot of preclears by being afraid to hurt them. Because the only way you can hurt a preclear is to keep him from running incidents. And if you can restrain him enough from running incidents, if you can keep him from running that grief, if you can keep him from running off that terror, if you can keep him from throwing - going through these convulsions, why, you're all set. You've made him sick for keeps. Not that another auditor couldn't undo it. But you're liable to spoil his accessibility. And some other auditor is liable to have to pick this preclear uay up from the bottom. Why? Because you didn't want to hurt him. So you sympathized with him: that could be very serious. The Auditor's Code as contained in the book Science of Survival is a very, very good thing to know. There are two particular things that you must not do.

You must not invalidate the preclear's data. You mustn't tell him "Oh, that's dub-in, Let's run something real. Oh, you know better than to run that; let's run something else."

Of course, if he runs eighteen train wrecks that all happened in the same year and you know that he's been living in the country and there were no trains, you can assume that what he is running has some slight questionability. But don't be sure of it to the extent where you'll invalidate him. No, get him off the subject of train wrecks, that's all - just get him off the subject of train wrecks.

Now, you run this incident out of the preclear, you run this incident where he just is bound and determined to run this time that the car ran over him when he was four years old. Father backed out of the garage and ran over him with the car. And he's just determined to run this incident. He's just not going to hear of anything else but he's got to run this incident.

You see, this was a time when Father did something to him and he wants to show you that he is justified in doing what he did to Father or to fathers in general.

You see, this was a time when Father did something to him and he wants to show you that he is justified in doing what he did to Father or to fathers in general.

So he wants to run this incident. Well, let him run the incident. Don't cause a big roar about it. After all, probably a wheel passed over his leg and it was amputated - something mild, not like these big, early incidents that really fixed him up thetawise. I'm being facetious when I say run over his leg. That probably would be a slightly serious incident because he'd be without his leg and this would be a restimulator of it. And his chances of growing a leg in his present aberrated state are zillch. Now, I'm not saying that he could grow a leg if he were in any other kind of a state; not saying he couldn't either.

Anyway he wants to run this incident, so you start him through the incident and you let him run the incident. And he runs it out, and finally it gets up to very clear reality and he's in beautiful shape about this incident, he likes this incident, he thinks this incident is fine, And he goes home and he talks to his mother on the telephone who lives in Sioux Falls and happens to be at 1,2 on the Tone Scale. And he says, "You know the time that Dad ran over me? You know, you had a coat that was a green coat with purple spots, and so forth. And I got all this data back there - four - and I got a look inside the house and all those pictures you had of angels -"

"Your father didn't buy a Maxwell car till 1921."

"Your father didn't buy a Maxwell car till 1921."

He completely overlooks the fact that Maxwell cars were not made in 1921; they were discontinued earlier, I think. I think the car by that time had become the Hat-in-the-Ring car or the Rickenbacker or something. I've forgotten exactly what it was, but so has Mama. And boy, has she forgotten? She's much older than your preclear, and she was not hurt during that sequence to amount to anything, and her data on it is not particularly reliable.

But, she may not like the preclear to know: something in her tells her that it's dangerous for this boy to know all this stuff. So she'll just automatically start slapping him back, slapping him back, on everything he says.

"But the car came out of the garage and ran over me, and we had Dr. Watson."

"But the car came out of the garage and ran over me, and we had Dr. Watson."

And she says, "Well, lookit, there was a car that did run over you, dear, but it didn't go all the way over you, and your father was very sorry about it. And that happened when you were nine. And your father was very sorry about it, and as a matter of fact, we made it up to you. We bought you a new bicycle because of it. And the car didn't run over you, hut you were so frightened you merely thought it did. And so, ha-ha, we didn't commit any overt act against you. We didn't commit any overt act against you. We didn't do this. We didn't do thia We didn't do this." This is all she's saying. "Get off the subject," she says. "Get off - hehheh - let's talk about something else. I mean this isn't valid." He comes back to you and you try to run him and you find out the sonic he had is gone. The visio he had is gone. His recalls now cease at the age of sixteen and he can't remember anything earlier. Great?

But the invalidation of a past life: If you run Effort Processing indiscriminatehi on a preclear, you're going to run him into a past life, I don't care who he is. If he's the most materialistic science [scientist] on the face of tile earth today, by giving him about three ordinary simple routine efforts to run, I would wind him up in a past life.

So he goes - all of a sudden he says, "Oh, you know, I've got a terrible headache!" And let's say, "Well, let's run the incident and fall off the horse." So he falls off the horse. And we find out that it's Derby day at Boston or something and his name was Arman and his folks lived at 322 Back Bay and he's got all the dope and it's getting realer and realer and realer,

The greatest horrible trick that you could pull on any individual would convince him that he goes through all of this just once and he never has another chance. That he's born into the world and then he dies. And after he's dead, he's dead forever. He'll never have it again.

Anything he loses then is terribly important to him; anything which he fails in will be most horribly regretted. You can keep an individual down at the bottom of the Tone Scale by proving to him that he only takes one crack at it, that he is - has no survival as a personal identity of any kind whatsoever.

Now, I'm talking to you - demonstrable phenomena. I'm talking to you about this, because it's very, very important that you establish to your own great satisfaction the existence of previous existences, before you demonstrate to anyone that you don't want them to exist by telling others they don't want to exist.

In other words, let's not further the control mechanism, because there is no single proof of any kind at all that an individual lives only once. There's no proof! And there is ample, adequate phenomena and proof that an individual lives on and on and on and on. We have phenomena; we have proof; it shows up on any lie detector. Any policeman operating any lie detector on any criminal could have asked him this question, "Have you ever lived before?" and the lie detector will say "Bop! Yes."

This phenomena has been lying there right on the surface. It's something that people won't look at. Because they've been taught otherwise. So, the individual runs this past death, he runs this past life. All of a sudden he recognizes something like a bolt of lightning. His recalls are suddenly repaired all up and down the track and he suddenly says, "You know, I've lived a lot of times!" Gee, that means to him he'll live again. That means to him he'll have another chance. It's like taking a condemned man out of a cell and saying, "There's sunlight!"

Then he runs into some snide character around someplace that's saying, "There ain't nobody ever lived before and everybody knows." That's the best explanation, you see, everybody knows nobody ever lived before. "And besides, you're talking about the Roman Empire, and I'll have you know that the Roman Empire failed in the year 221 and after that waslrun exclusively by the Phoenicians, and besides that, that society was superseded by the Egyptians and that's where Masonry came from," and so on.

It doesn't matter how crazy the reasoning is, the fact that somebody is hammering and pounding at this individual and telling him, "you didn't! You didn't! You didn't!" They're not saying, "That past life doesn't exist." They're saying to him, "You belong in a deep, dark cell where you'll never see any sunlight again - you'll never have another chance!"

And what they're saying to him is not just telling him he's a liar or that he's wrong; they're saying to him, "You're dead when you are dead and you're going to be dead forever. And every little input of action that you're making into this society is lost. There is no use for it. You're not preparing anything for your own future. Go on back in that dungeon and close that door and live in the dark, fellow" That's what they're telling him.

There's only one thing you should do then in regard to these things: run them up to such a high level of reality that they can't be invalidated. And you be very careful about invalidating preclears when they start to run something odd, peculiar and strange.

There was a poor kid back in Elizabeth that all the staff was having a lot of firn with. And do you know what he was running? He was running a past life on Mars. And do you know, that's - of course, is impossible, except for one thing: in very sane preclears lately I've been hitting a life on Mars.

And they almost spun this kid in. He had a good chance of going right out and coming right back to battery and being in good shape, and they butchered him with this invalidation.

And the other one that's very important is, don't evaluate your preclear's data for him. You're there to make him think, not to do his thinking for him! And although it's very sweet of you to say, "Well, oh, you - ;you remember the incident you ran the other day?" And he says, "Well, yes, I .. "

What you're doing is the same trick a lot of people have done to him, is you're saying, "You can't think or evaluate for yourself. I have to think and evaluate and remember for you."

You go into a family where the husband, for instance, isn't doing well, and you'll very often find his wife anxiously answering all the questions you put to the husband - anxiously doing so - even though you're only talking socially with the husband. You say, "Well, I bet it was something like that in 1918." And he says, "Well, as a matter of fact ..."

And she says, "Well, as a matter of fact it - it was pretty bad, wasn't it, dear?"

All of his opinions - she's feeding in opinions before he can express one. And this fellow will be in bad shape!

You as an auditor can push the preclear down the Tone Scale by telling the preclear what to think about what. You don't care what he thinks about it.
