DATA ON CASE LEVEL V, STEP FOR CASE V

DATA ON CASE LEVEL V (CONT.)

A lecture given on 7 April 1953A lecture give on 7 April 1953

Here is some data on Case Level V especially addressed here to that case, and given to the auditor for his own evaluation and use, but also as the step for Case V. This is the step for Case V. In your mimeographed sheet, you will find this as the step for Case V.

Continuing this dissertation on the V and how to audit him.

There could be many ways to solve Case V, but to some degree we have to evaluate all of these techniques against the patience of the auditor and the possible sanity or insanity of the preclear. And let me assure you that a Case V, (most cases will not) but some Case V's and some Case IV's, unless they are adroitly handled, will, bluntly, spin.

I have given you this data about gravity and its interaction, not because we are politely interested in the effects of planets — although it's rather obvious that Venus and Jupiter and so forth might have some effect upon an individual, therefore, if the sun and the moon and Earth are so — affect him so profoundly.

Now, spinning is not desirable in a preclear. Every auditor discourages this and therefore we should give considerable thought to how we audit any case, just any case. We should keep in mind, for instance, that we are dealing with the woof and warp of not only the mind, but the beingness of the individual — his soul, if you please.

Now, the effect of this is often to pull his body out of shape. Now, preclears would like to have their bodies altered. They seem to favor a body for some reason or other. And a fellow develops a misshapen body, if you want to call it that, quite often, and his face shape goes out of shape, and the length of his nose goes out of shape on this pull. And if you audit him for a while using a double terminal, you will find out that the forces involved here are not inconsiderable.

And in dealing with this, you are dealing as well with the material which composes insanity; therefore, you must take very good care, when you are auditing, not to do anything outside the Auditor's Code, not to get too adventurous, because you cannot be sure that your case has not finished, for instance, a bad quarrel at home, that he has not been just fired, or that something painful has occurred to him before the session.

Now, how many ways are there to alter this and to use it? Well, there's any number of ways — any number of ways you can do this, but remember, double-terminal it; that is to say, any way you want to.

And maybe you've had this person for five sessions, and he has run very evenly and smoothly and nothing has occurred. He's in pretty good shape. You've had him five sessions; he's a Step IV. You're bringing him up toward an Operating Thetan; all seems to be going well.

Now, you can, for instance, get Earth and Earth being happy. And the sun and the sun being happy. "Now, put those up there and get them all being happy." Or "Put up four moons and get them happy." Or "Put up four suns and get them happy; have them be cheerful," and so on.

You get in this next session, and you don't look at him closely; you don't pay much attention to him. You just start in where you left off before. You look at what little case book you're keeping, (you should always keep a case book on a case and just note down what you did, and make a little case report; and send them to me, if you would). And put the — you look into the book, you know, you say, "Well, we were doing so-and-so and so-and-so, and in doing so-and-so and so-and-so, we got ourselves a good release on this subject and so we'll just keep on from there."

And the next thing you know, the lines will start appearing. If they don't start appearing on this fellow after a while, tell him to start shoving them in and speed it up just a little bit, because it means he's so light-starved that he can't — they won't start automatically; they're just stopped.

And you start in with a rather difficult technique, let's say Admiration Processing — you're doing a lot with admiration — and the first thing you know, your preclear looks a little bit ill, and he looks a little bit worse and he looks a little bit worse and he looks a little bit worse. And maybe you say, "Well, we shouldn't do much more processing, then, today. Well, you're probably tired or something." Let's let him have a good sleep, and we'll hit a crack at it next Tuesday. And you'll find out that two days before he was due for a session, he was in very bad shape after that session with you.

Now, how a man is going to get sonic and visio and see light and favor light and everything else if his whole impulse is stopping light, is a question which somebody else will have to solve. You can't, in other words, turn on sonic if his impulse is to stop the motion of particles. If he doesn't know the particles are there, how does he know he's stopping them? Interesting problem, isn't it?

Well, what happened? What happened was he received some kind of a shock. It had (quote) "dried up," you might say, some communication lines, and what little processing you gave him opened the wrong lines. Now, that's very important, you see?

Now, there were ways of solving this and that is by building up his force — building up his force. It has been said around in the sticks that we favor rebuilding — or Nietzsche, in other words — we're afraid we're favoring strong men now and therefore, Scientology is fascistic and so forth because we say that a man has to be rehabilitated in the field of force before his perceptics turn on. Well, that doesn't happen to be policy, that just happens to be fact.

That tells you two things. That the fellow actually wouldn't spin and go to a sanitarium. It would take the crudest kind of auditing to do that to an individual. You'd almost have to blackjack him and give him an implant to do that to him. Or, all of a sudden turn your back on him when he was in the middle of a grief charge, or something of the sort, and say, "Ah, that's not important, skip it," or get mad at him or something like that and stick him on the track. You have to do something outrageous! And it would have to be as outrageous as a blackjack and drugs to make nearly any preclear you have spin.

And you'll find out that the only man you should really fear a little bit is a weak man. Don't ever fear a strong one. The — it's only weak men who become dictators. All right. By the way, poor old Nietzsche was a weakling, with his great parade of force.

But remember, there's always that one who is a sleeper. He's just a sleeper, and you won't spin him so badly that you can't dig him out of it. But it will probably — sooner or later, you'll get hold of a preclear that is going to give you a bad few days. And he looked perfectly all right, you did perfectly all right, but, ha-ha, it wasn't perfectly all right. You get the idea? You gave him just a little bit too much beef, just a little bit too heavy, you fed it to him too fast, and .. .

We're not talking, then, about force as conduct. We are just talking about force as a man in physics would talk about force. We're just talking about flows of particles. You've got to rehabilitate his ability to get — let particles flow before you get much in the way of perception.

What's the source of all this, by the way? Well, what — we take up two things right now, just very briefly. What's insanity? That's one of them. And the other one, how do you keep from having things like this happen? I, honestly, I couldn't say this to an auditor enough times, if we've got a big sign over the door there: "Communicate with your preclear," so that you could see it every day (it would probably become meaningless to you in a short time).

There are many ways of doing it; we had lots of ways of doing it in the past. I'm demonstrating here a primary source of particle flow shut-off. Because what happens in this setup?

You have to be willing to be the preclear. Isn't that horrible? You'd have to be willing, then, to be almost anybody to be a good auditor. Many auditors will audit themselves tired; they'll audit themselves dry; they'll audit themselves stale. And they'll get to a point where they no longer want to be the preclear.

When that sun is pulling on him with gravity, it is pushing at him and he gets the idea after a while that he'd better hold on to the sun, so he does. And he starts holding on to the sun but he can never hold on to the sun and he always loses. So he loses, so he says, "I've failed, therefore I cannot control time." And what's our primary aberration? Time. "I cannot alter or control time."

They'll audit the preclear all by himself; they won't pay any attention to this injunction about "have somebody else present, have another body present." If you can't have another body, for God's sakes, at least have another dummy present, something there that will take up the double terminal effect, some-thing like that. He'll — won't pay attention to that injunction. He'll get stale, in other words, he'll get the idea he doesn't want to be this aberrated person. And he stops communicating with him because beingness and communication, as we know, are pretty well the same thing.

Something else happens. This universe runs backwards compared to what a thetan runs. Why? I'll go into that in just a moment, but what hap-pens is that when he pulls on the sun, he pulls more photons in on him than he can get energy up. It would be like grabbing ahold of a treadmill, and you'll very often find a V on the complete belief that he has to do with tread-mills. People try to walk away from him in mock-ups — what little mock-up he gets — and they're walking on a treadmill.

All right, you get — he doesn't want to be this person anymore, so he doesn't communicate with him, and what do you know, every confounded error I have ever found in auditing had its inception in this little summation: The auditor did not communicate with the preclear.

Well, don't look for people to resolve this, because they don't resolve it rapidly at that level of case. Look at this. Every time he pulls on the sun, he gets a flood of particles down on his head. So what's that mean? Every time he tries to push against the sun he gets a flock of particles down on his head. Every time he tries to do anything about the sun he gets a flock of particles down on his head, so therefore he says, "In the face of the great god Ra, I am unable to control my anchor points, therefore, I can't control my anchor points. Furthermore, on certain dark nights, I can't control my anchor points. Although I would like to illuminate all the heavens, when I tried to put out my anchor points on certain dark nights, for some reason or other my anchor points fly back in my face."

The auditor went outgoing to the preclear, and never incoming. The pre-clear said something; the auditor was over Mars or back of beyond somewhere and was just going to sit there and give those routine commands, and the auditor didn't hear it. And what do you know, what went by in that instant? The signal that he was just about to hit an apathy charge which would practically spin him unless handled very well. There was the signal of why he was so upset; there was the signal that an engram had just shown up, the like of which nobody had ever heard of, and if it wasn't handled in just that moment, all hell would break loose and so the auditor just drifted off.

That's very early, and it is actually mechanical behavior which hasnever been analyzed by him. He doesn't know this has taken place or whyhe's failed or why he's abandoned it. What's happened is in the dark of themoon, the moon goes overhead and underfoot anyway, and still exerts graviticinfluence. And here you have no admiration from the moon, and so this particle,force, of course, is not run out — if effort, in other words, doesn't run out in theabsence of admiration. People think of the moon as admiring them. All right.Now, when the moon goes over in the dark of the moon, you have a perfectly dark sky, and the sky is so black and so dark that it obviously has noinfluence whatsoever. But what do you know, there's an awful lot of moon upthere, and it's the same moon although it isn't pouring in on him. In otherwords, the moon's behavior, then, is quite different and you have man supposing it to be quite erratic. Civilized man has so long been living in houses andaway from the sight of all this and buried down in this that he's still influenced by it, but it has shifted cycle here and there. But we find the moon stillcontrolling a great deal of his activities, particularly on the second dynamic.You'll find it controlling with absurd accuracy the second dynamic ofanimals who are customarily capable of being outside in the moon. You know, I mean, like rabbits on the plains. There is no shelter; they're just on the plains and they're always in sight of the moon. All right, they're influenced by it very markedly, particularly on the second dynamic. All right.

Now, the auditor doesn't have to sit there on the edge of his chair. The auditor just has to remember this: he's got to be willing to be that preclear. And he'll stay in communication with him. So he'll hear what the preclear is doing. He wants to know what the preclear is doing. A good auditor never lets that preclear sit there for five minutes silent — never.

Now, we take the action here, then, of the sun, the moon and the Earth and we are dealing with tremendous forces and we're dealing with MEST. If you ask a preclear to mock up a room on top of a room, he will get a flow. He'll get more of a flow and more of a reaction — more of a physical reaction — anytime than he'll get off running people — anytime. So here we have MEST. Here we have lots of MEST.

"What are you doing?" He says, "All right, now," he says, "I want you to get this whole bunch of mock-ups and just keep putting a double terminal there of yourself facing yourself, admiring yourself, and being happy. Okay? So you just put — keep putting that there."

We have this great big mass of Earth, we have that big mass of a sun, we have the moon — all of them right close by. And we get these interactive forces and they are very difficult to run out and they are very, very hard — not difficult to run out on this principle — but they're very hard for anybody to combat; they're too, too much there.

Well, you know, actually the preclear could sit there and do that for two or three hours. Is this any signal, then, for the auditor to go off someplace or get a drink of water or something like that? No, sir.

And what do you know, evidently — evidently there's more to know about this, but evidently it's this combination that gives one his sense of time. And all through this universe one gets his sense of time off the interaction of heavenly bodies. And the body itself is timed, the breathing is timed, the heartbeat is timed by what? Gravitic influence. It's like one huge chronometer set up there. And all these bodies act the same toward it. Now, this gives us an answer — irrespective of somebody suddenly stepping up and molding each body to size and shape; it gives you an answer of why a type of body will develop and be a type of body. Why does man have, for instance, a prefrontal lobe? You will find that out when you double-terminal the sun, the Earth. You'll find out that the heavenly body cuts him, and the force of it cuts him right across where the membrane is, where the prefrontal lobe comes in. Why do people have double chins? The chin never gets admired by sunlight or moonlight. Hidden down here. It's fascinating. A lot of odd and absurd data connected with this.

This guy is putting — anybody the auditor would ask to do that, by the way, has got to be watched, so he'd put them there, you know, and he'd put them there and put them there.

But remember it if you want to alter the physical body of a V or a IV or a III for that matter, if it's too far out of line. Remember that data.

After he's obviously put not more than six or eight there — pang! pang! pang! pang! pang! — as an auditor I would say to him, "All right, how's it going?" Or "What are they doing?" Let him put another dozen passes with these double terminals. "Now, how's it going?"

It's a very simple technique. You simply tell him to double-terminal the sun and the Earth and the moon. "Two suns, now put in two Earths." Now, he has an awful time getting two suns, you finally get him to a point where he gets two suns. Now you get him to get two suns and two Earths, and now you get him to get two suns, two Earths and two moons. And then you get him in there. It's very peculiar; it may be the first time you'll ever get three-dimensional visio. His visio up to that moment might have been completely flat.

You're practically sitting there with a shotgun in your hands. Why? Because a IV, not a V or a VI or much less a VII, but a IV will all of a sudden start evaluating. He'll all of a sudden start figuring. You could say, "What's wrong with this preclear?" Well, I'll tell you what's wrong with the preclear: he thinks. That's the trouble with him.

Now, what do you do about the darkness? What about the darkness? Yes sir, you have to double-terminal darkness. Don't get one sheet of darkness, one sheet of darkness and say — with two planets on it — and say that's double-terminaled. Get a piece of darkness and a piece of darkness, and a planet and a planet. Double-terminal the darkness too.

You know, we have a maxim. We say, "The trouble with this guy is he doesn't think." Well, unfortunately, that's no trouble. If you've got a guy who doesn't think, he's either a complete moron or a Clear.

Now, what are you interested in by doing all this? You're going to get somatics just by putting two suns up there. Yes sir, you're going to get somatics by putting up two Earths. But you're interested in the lines because they're there. It's the hidden influence of this universe: the line, the missing line. Those lines are there, they show up and they have mass. And it's lines.

Now, the naval services are always saying — somebody's storming down the deck and saying, "Well, now, now, don't think!" Anybody who is unfortunate enough to say, "I think, Mr. Dumb John, that . . ." — why, always the inevitable reply is, "Don't think, I'll do the thinking around here." Well, that's a circuit, you see?

You ask somebody to get the concept "Isn't it too bad how the people — how human beings don't have lines amongst them?" Just get them to get that concept, by the way, and they're liable to get the darnedest set of somatics; they're liable to see lines springing up amongst people. The lines are there! That's all; they're just hidden.

So the guy that's "I'll do the thinking around here," inevitably is in the bind — the same ratio that beingness is to thinkingness. And the circuits will all of a sudden say, "And well, what do you know? This fellow's kind of distracted here at the moment. He isn't paying this — the thetan isn't paying attention to this guy that runs us. He isn't paying attention here. Ahem. We'll just slide him in one."

Now, let's go into it a little bit further. What is the primary control operation of the MEST universe? The primary control operation of the MEST universe could be said to be this: distracting attention to nothing. If you can get somebody to distract his attention to nothing, you've gotten him into a position where he won't have a second terminal and therefore no energy line and so he will decay and fade away.

And he'll suddenly — circuit will suddenly say, "Ah, this is getting noplace."

Now, how do parents do this? They say, "Johnny, look out what you're doing!" He's just sitting in his wagon minding his own business. "Look out what you're doing, Johnny!"

The fellow will say, "You know, I wonder why, I'm — it's not — getting noplace. I wonder why — I don't know what that is. Let's see, I don't want that, hm-hm, ta-da-da-da. Hum. Hm. Let's see, I'm double-terminaling my father, and my father probably always said that." (Unfortunately, this fellow might have read Book One, you know?) And he says, "My father always used to say that, and I suppose by now I've run into my father," and so on. "And possibly if I let these things shift over to being my father, why, then I would get some more of these computations. And maybe if I double-terminal a double terminal or something else, something else will happen. Now, let me see, let me figure, figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure."

How does that distract his attention? Well, he's got his attention on some MEST and pulls it off the MEST to a person. Because the person is capable of reason and the MEST is not capable of reason, his attention is pulled from MEST to people.

What do you want this guy to do? Do you want him to think? No, you don't want him to think. Never! Never let a preclear think. Make him act. Act, that's all you want. So you take your finger off of him; you don't ask him what he's doing. He's — there he is thinking. The heck with thinking!

If you want to make any workman real nervous, if this man customarily works with high speed and dangerous machinery, you just make him — want to make him good and nervous and so forth — you get him walking away from his machinery or any place away from his machinery, you'll make him nervous enough. But get him when he's right there at the machine, walk up to his shoulder, and say to him suddenly, "Say, Joe!" Hm-mm. Blrrrrrr! Because you've made him unfix his attention from something he knows he must not unfix his attention from. And if you do this to him very often, he is going to be in horrible condition. What is nervousness? Nervousness is distracted attention. People say, "I am distracted." Why are they distracted? Distracted attention.

When you say Case Level V you are saying emphatically, "figure-figure-figure!" (exclamation point) That's the trouble with Case Level V: They figure.

Now, the important thing, as far as aberration is concerned, is the sixth dynamic, but the most important thing of that is the solid object as far as the actual somatic is concerned. The missing thing is the line, the hidden flows of particles.

Now, why do they figure? What is this thing called figure, figure, figure? You'll find the first thing that you'll learn about this case is that he has to figure it all out in advance so he can predict it. And every datum he receives anywhere around is a datum he is going to use to predict future behavior. In other words, he's so busy predicting future behavior, he never has any chance to be.

So how would you, how would you go about this? You would pull his attention off the solid object to a person and then you would correct him about what he had just said which puts his attention on the intervening space between the two people where there is no line. You've got him. You've put his attention on, as far as he's concerned, nothing. And you've also put his attention onto another nothing which is the past. And you see how that operation's done?

Now, why can't this fellow be around in the society, and be here and be there and be in other places like a Step I? Step I can't think, they're — tend to be moronic. They — all right.

The actual aberrative factor is the unpredictability. of MEST, but people are blamed for this, because people go around distracting people's attention from MEST. You know, they argue about MEST, they worry about MEST and they — but — and so on. But they argue with other people about MEST and they keep winding everybody up on big flows of maybes.

Now, why is this fellow — why is this fellow, this — he's smart! Well, there's no doubt about that. You'll find nearly every good engineer that you run into is a Case Level V. Unfortunate, but true. Now, why is this fellow doing this — doing this figure, figure, figure? What's the reason?

All right then, what's this all about then? Then we get people as the apparent thing, and the next thing we get is the past as being an apparent source of aberration, and it is, but that's because people are always directing one's attention to the past. How do they do that? They say, "You said and I said, but you didn't say what you're saying you said now. You said something else. And in the future, I want you to be very careful never to do that again. Now, I want you to remember this. And the reason I'm punishing you is so you remember this and in the future you will never ..."

He has to know before he is. And you can put that over his tombstone: He had to know before he was. And so he never became, of course, because he had to know before he was. And you can't know before you was, because you never was then, you see? Very simple, it's very direct.

The — that's — it's being done in the present, but it's putting it right into the past, and that's adding a circuit in, you see. That's punishing somebody so that he won't do something in the future. Well, that's into the past.

But he has to find out if it's all right to be there, before he is there, so he needs data about there before he can approach there! So does he approach there? No. He gets the data about there. And this tells him that it's unwise to be there, so he doesn't move.

Or they say, "You'll have to correct your English because you just said something or other, something or other, something or other," and so on. Therefore, instruction which is beaten into somebody actually merely removes him into the past and cancels him.

And you tell a V to get out of his body, and you say, "Now, let's be over on top of that flowerpot over there."

If you — you could probably beat a child hard enough and often enough to a point where he'd never be able to figure anything. He'd just be all circuits; he'd be all circuits and he couldn't be anything. Couldn't even be himself.

And the V says, "Let me see, flowerpot. Flowerpots break out of windows, they fall down on pavement, they hit people in the heads. Flowerpots are dangerous. And besides, there are sometimes bees around flowers, and if I went over there, I'd get stung by a bee." I mean, that — a thetan getting stung by a bee hasn't happened yet, but he might think this.

So the optimum method of instruction would be to have him fit the data to the material universe as he learned it. That would be the optimum method of instruction, wouldn't it? You'd have him experience the data with his own action and beingness as he learned the data. The ideal way to instruct in botany would be with flowers, with herbs and so forth, not so much from a text.

See, all these circuits suddenly cut in, and they all cut in on the subject of flowerpots, so he — figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figure-figures. And does he get over there, is over fl — nuh-uh, uh-uh. No, he's still in his head.

You'll find it very interesting, for instance, that if you take a student who has studied for a long, long, long, long time — run this one on him: Have him take the textbook, have him take and change the textbook into him. It's fascinating. Try it sometime. Have him take one of his textbooks and change the textbook into him. Of course, he — what he's trying to do is make the text-book the same as he is. Or just have him mock up there, with the textbook admiring him. He's admired textbooks all the time but no textbook ever admired him, so it's a one-way flow.

So you say, "All right, now move from the flower."

It's like you cure people of bad occupational disorders by having their tools admire them, or four-terminal their tools and you'll get the flows of sound and that sort of thing. That is, double-terminal their tools. All right, or change the tools into them. Have the tool there and have the person appear. All right, the — all these would be methods, you see. But it's the MEST universe.

"Well, I'm not at the flowerpot."

Now, the worst thing in the world you could do to an individual would be to distract his attention to a hidden line. Why, nobody would ever be as cruel as to do this, but they say, "You know what they're saying about you behind your back?" "There's a lot of gossip, there's a lot of rumor going around at this time that . . ." See, hidden lines, hidden lines, hidden lines, hidden lines. Let's all go crazy quick.

Now sometimes, by the way, if you make him mock up a few flowerpots, then say, "Get over the flowerpot," he'll be over the flowerpot. But don't ask him to be over the next flowerpot; he hasn't examined that one yet.

You can never, under God's green earth, use a hidden line for a terminal. A person actually depends for a large amount of his energy as he operates in a body on a second terminal. He must interchange with a second terminal. As he gets such an interchange with a second terminal, he figures he doesn't have energy. That's why loneliness is bad, although loneliness isn't terribly aberrative. That's merely a scarcity of people.

Now, do you get what's wrong, then, with a circuit and what's wrong with a Case Level V and what a circuit is? And actually what all thinking is? It's to predict the future without being anything connected with the future. So you take the data of the past and you could predict security for the future.

You get somebody who doesn't like people, by the way, there's such a scarcity of people, you'll have to have him throw people away before he'll accept people. There's a terrible hunger for people. Watch a little baby, he just loves people. All right.

Now you see, you have to do that if you can't be things at will. If you can't be things at will, and if you're not — if you're not capable of expanding largely and being very self-confident, and so forth.

Now, let's take a look at this, then, in terms of directing attention. We distract attention to people, then they distract attention to the past or to a hidden line. So if we're looking for aberration, we look at those hidden lines, don't we? Where are those hidden lines? And we process, process as to get hidden lines, and that's really what's wrong with a V.

And, by the way, the self-confident fellow never has to do much figuring about the future. See, he's got self-confidence, he's capable of being some-thing; he's in good shape, and so on. The money takes care of itself; so does the food, the clothing, the shelter. These things come in. A man almost indexes against his ability to be, on income. All right.

Your first analysis of the V, he thinks he's defending himself from every-body, from people. He isn't defending himself from people; he's defending him-self from MEST, really. Or he says, if he's real bad off, he's defending himself from hidden communications, hidden communications, hidden communications. That's what he says he's defending himself from. He's not defending himself from hidden communications. He's defending himself from perfectly good, valid lines! And the second you start double-terminaling them you'll find out that those lines are pretty big and pretty solid and it's MEST at the base and so forth.

So these circuits cut in, and as he begins more and more cautious, more and more cautious, he figure-figure-figure-figure, more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more, and he — what do you know, he sets up automatic machinery to do the figuring for him. It's not enough, you see, that he just thinks about it and figures it out on known data, he sets up machinery.

Don't forget there are three kinds of space. One of the things that a V gets into is a vacuum. Every time you throw a mock-up out there, it disappears. You could make any V get mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, mock-ups, until all of a sudden one appears. I won't say how many thousand mock-ups he'll have to put out there to get one to appear, but it's plenty, plenty of mock-ups. Okay.

Now, this is mechanistic. He sets up a better computer to do this than the ENIAC or the UNIVAC, big electronic brains that the geniuses at MIT invent. These big electronic computers are actually playthings compared to the amount of factors that can be handled by one of these silly circuits. And you get a thetan rummaging around in his cranium sometime, or around in his masses of energy, and he'll say, "Well, there's a — there's this little box here."

Now, let's go in straight from that data into how you exteriorize a V and why he doesn't exteriorize. I can tell you a lot about V's. I'll make this word of warning (I've said it before here), anytime you find your V a little bit spinny, throw him into Step VI, next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis — a bunch of mockups — and then take him back onto Step V. What's Step V as it exists now? Is it any of this stuff I've been telling you? No, you've been sitting here very patiently and you haven't heard the piece de resistance: How do you work a V?

"What's that little box?"

A thetan can be what he can see. A thetan can see what he can be. A thetan doesn't have to be what he doesn't see. What a thetan doesn't see, he doesn't have to be.

"Well, that's a circuit."

Now remember, I said, "thetan." If he sees it with his eyes, that's all right. Something else saw it; he didn't. That's the way he gets around that. But if he sees it as a thetan, he'll have to be able to be it.

"Well, what circuit is that?"

A communication point is also a space point, so beingness and communication are the same thing. So therefore, perception and beingness to a thetan are identical, same thing. What he can see, he can be.

"That's the one that tells me when to eat." Fascinating. All right.

The definition of space is a viewpoint of dimension. Therefore, one has to have a viewpoint before he has anchor points. And that's what your V doesn't have. And that's the biggest scarcity in the world, is viewpoints. Your V doesn't have a viewpoint.

If — and of course, he has all of these computers set up. There are tremendous batteries of computers, and each one is set up on a postulate, but each one is on, based solidly on an experience which contained pain and unconsciousness, which means hidden data. So all of your circuits are based on hidden data. And you can say that a circuit — the base of a circuit is hid-den data. The base of every computation is a hidden datum.

Two ways you can give him a viewpoint: one's to bring him into present time, and that's make him hold on to the corners of the room and not think, let his circuits scream, which is a Step VII. But a good technique anywhere in the bank to get somebody to present time: get him interested in those corners of the room. He'll get nervous and he'll get upset and so forth.

What do you want to know in arithmetic? You want to know the answer. Why do you want to know the answer? Because you don't know the answer, that's why you want to know the answer, you see? That's a good reason, too. You want to know how many apples there are in that barrel. The reason you want to know how many apples in the barrel is you don't trust the grocer. The reason you have to buy them is you can't be the grocer and give them to you. Well, anyway.

But by and large you have on your hands a mechanical difficulty; you have starved lines, no light or admiration in them. Don't have any light in the lines; the lines are all bunched up and you have the bank to some degree collapsed on him. It's a mechanical problem.

So here we have — here we have the hidden datum as the bottom of a circuit. Now, why is it the hidden datum? Well, a fellow — here's the way a V degenerates. He's circulating around in the society and he's having a good time in the environment. He's going around and he's doing this, he's being that; he's just enjoying himself hugely, and all is going well. And one day — one day he finds out that if he had sent something to somebody yesterday, why, he would have saved them an awful lot of trouble, and he didn't know it was that important; in other words, a hidden datum. But on the other hand, maybe it wouldn't have made any difference if he'd sent it yesterday. But of course, it would have made some difference; but on the other hand it wouldn't have made any difference, and so you get the first maybe. That's a weak little maybe.

If you're going to solve this V's body, you're going to have a picnic; you're going to have a real picnic because you've got all the GE's lines collapsed and all the V's lines collapsed.

Let's take a much better one. He's walking down the road, he's got this body. This body's in pretty good shape. It's feeling very frisky and he steps on the grass. He slips. He goes into a rock — crash! — and bungs his shin all up and spills some blood, leaves a scar on that lovely shin and by golly, there was a hidden datum. What was the hidden datum? The rock and the grass. Furthermore, grass is slippery; he didn't know that before. You could put shoe leather on a grass, and apply some pressure wrongly, and slide and fall if the grass is wet. And so it was a hidden thing in his environment which presented him with some treachery.

So you want this V out of his body as soon as possible, and let's not take him out of his body Tuesday when we can do it today. Wouldn't that be wonderful if you had a technique? You'd take your most occluded case and have him out of his body, and he'd know he was out of his body five or six minutes. See, wouldn't that be wonderful? Gee, I would like to tell you here today that we have such a technique, so I will.

Now, understand the only reason it could present him with some treachery is he was very anxious to hold on to what he was holding on to. And second reason is he didn't have enough horsepower when he felt that foot slip, just to reach over and pick up the body by the collar and set it back on the road. So it was an error to set up the circuit. It really was an error to set up the circuit to get around that.

The missing definition in physics was space: viewpoint of dimension. The local yokels have been running around yelling about space, energy and time, and they never said what space was. What is space? Well, let's get awfully simple and we'll say it's a viewpoint of dimension. Well, what marks the dimension? That's an anchor point, and it's the distance from the point of view to the anchor point that is the space. Right?

He should have looked himself over, having done this trick, and wondered, what on earth had contracted — see, the other thing — had contracted his beingness at that moment. And he would find inevitably he had selected out something for randomity in that environment so as to make him interested in life.

What's wrong with a V? You'll find him all identified with everything. Well why? Why is he identified with things? Well, that's because there is too little space, see? Too little space. What's this tell you immediately? There is too little viewpoint, then. All right, if there's too little viewpoint, what's the matter with his anchor points? Well, they work in reverse; the MEST universe has gotten into him and defeated him one way or another, and his light starvation and a lot of other things. Every time he tries to put out his anchor points, they disappear. Of course they just go into this light-starvation vacuum. He's been in space; he's had all sorts of things happen to him and each one has convinced him that he can't put any anchor points.

He'd said after this — he says, "You know," he says, "I'm not going to be — I'm not going to be the scenery on a road, so I will be able to walk down roads and enjoy it. I'm not going to look around curves before I get to them so they'll always surprise me." That's the first thing a fellow starts setting up. He starts setting out blank areas so he'll be surprised by what's in them. And after a while, boy, is he surprised! He's shut down his beingness.

So you don't only — you — this boy's in a bad way, see? He not only doesn't have a viewpoint as a thetan, but he doesn't have any anchor points. So where the devil's his space? Well of course it'd be lovely if you could bring this boy to present time. It'd just be wonderful if you could just bring him to present time. You're not going to get him to present time. The reason why you're not going to get him into present time is, the space is too light-starved and the lines are too tight. And if you start pouring too much admiration into those lines, those lines start opening, and the second they start opening he starts to feel like he's squirreling because he goes into one of these frenzies of pain things and he feels like he's going crazy, something. And then you have to drop into Case Level VI, then you bring him back. You could fool around with this for a long time. You don't have to. I did already. I put in a lot of hours on this, and found out it's not profitable! The case was about the same level on the Tone Scale before as after.

Well, he do — he remedies this, then, with a circuit. So your circuit computes on past data for future warnings and how to get around them. Data, data, data, data, data, data, data.

Oh, I did all sorts of things. I got him to process Fac One cameras: one camera facing the other camera, both of them being MEST, you see, and getting four cameras, so the hidden communication line between the two cameras would show up and the sound would run out, and we got lots of lovely somatics and we did get a glandular change and all that, but nothing happened really. He wasn't out of his body.

Now, it isn't that the data is unnecessary, very far from it. But there is most of the data, which one accumulates, isn't worth having. For instance, you could study for an awful long time — you could have studied how to make a pilot have a faster reaction time for twelve years, up to a couple of years ago, and you wouldn't have given him a second's worth of faster reaction time. I mean, there's a tremendous body of knowledge there which wasn't delivering the stuff. And you'll find this is the case with most circuits; they don't deliver the material.

No viewpoint! Well, if we can't have a viewpoint, by golly, we can't have a guy exteriorized, because there would be no space for him to exteriorize into, will there? Well, if we clip out a few postulates, maybe, you'd think this would be good? No. If we work Self Analysis for a long time it will be all right? Yes, yes, that's true, that's true. You're just feeding the bank gradually and pleasantly enough and so forth over a long enough period of time, he'll eventually get out by uncollapsing lines.

Now, that is the test, then, of whether or not one's computer is working or whether one is thinking analytically: Is it delivering the answer? That's the — that's the test of any computer: Is it delivering the answer, or does it just keep on saying there's an answer without ever delivering the answer?

Well, if there's no viewpoint, there must be some other mistake in thematter. You should be able to create a viewpoint. Some mistake. Should beable to use the room as a viewpoint. Well, he can't see! Why can't he see?Well, because he can't be. Well, if he can't be, then he can't see. Very, verytough, very tough. So must be something else; must be some other mistake.Must be something else; must be some way we could solve this thing becauseotherwise we're just going around and around in circles and have taken along time at it, and it's all very difficult. So is the V making another mistake?Brother, he sure is. This is idiotic. The first time the V notices this hewill almost shoot himself in anguish when he realizes it — one of those simpleones. The V is what's holding on — the thetan of the V is what's holding on toeverything and is everything. And he doesn't know it. He thinks it's the body.Now, let me go into that quietly and smoothly. A Step I exteriorizes apoint. Well, beware of these guys that exteriorize as a point because that'snot so. A thetan isn't a point in this particular universe. He just thinks he is.

So that's a test of a circuit, isn't it? Because when we're dealing with a Case Level V, we're dealing with a circuit case. And everything said about, circuits in Book One, everything said about circuits in Science of Survival, this all applies, but here we know more about circuits than we did before.

He's got a theta body but a person can actually get out of his body and then get out of his theta body. He's got a body. He's got a body. It's a composite of all sorts of things.

Now, there are several tests of a circuit; that's the first one. This fellow have circuits? How do we find out if he has circuits? Is he worried about hid-den data? Is this hidden data worrying him?

He's also got a personality. What personality is it? It's a pers — the same personality you're looking at, modified. It's modified how? Well, in a human body he knows he has to act more human because he's being observed. And so he just relaxes a little bit and he's much simpler and he thinks of himself as kind of cute. And he all of a sudden spots all of these boxes and so forth around that he's got these circuits in, and so forth, when he's out of his body. So he just thinks he's a little bit cuter and he feels freer and he feels a little sadder when he's outside of his body.

Does he worry — somebody says, "You got a letter yesterday."

As a V exteriorizes he's usually — gets out into a — and he gets a past death or something will fall in on him or something like that, and he'll feel kind of sad about it all. Well, he's afraid of being anything. Big trouble, besides the mechanical problem, it shows up as fear of being something. You say, "Be this and be that." Well, he can't see it so he doesn't know, and so he has to know the data to see it, and then he can't see it because he can't know the data, and all that. Big trouble here.

And the fellow said, "Where was it? What — where is this letter?" "Well, I don't know. It was mislaid. It's around here someplace." And he starts looking for the letter.

And this, his mistake — this is, this is one of two mistakes — the mistake is that these somatics which he has and these perceptions which he has and this sensory equipment which he has and these nerve lines which he has belong to the body and he's trying to move out without taking them with him. They're his as a thetan. He is this network of circuits. He is this network of nerves and lines. He is this thing. He is a complex mechanism if you ever . . . Why, it would a — it would take a master mechanic weeks to draw the design of what the thetan considers his head! Now, that is not the optimum state for a thetan, to be all fixed up like this, so the thetan has to be audited. But he'd better be audited away from the body to get him away from the GE's bank.

Well look, I mean letters aren't that important. And well, he looks for the letter, and he doesn't find the letter, and he gets kind of upset about this letter, and he says to the other fellow, "Well, what was — who was it from? I mean what did it have up on the corner of it? What did it have on the back of it? Did you notice what handwriting it was in?" Rrrrr!

But what's this body compared to this thetan? Well, it's just a hulk. It's just like a corn husk. And when he starts to realize this, why, he'll say, "Gee, this is real silly of me." He'd say, "You know, ha! I've had this — I always had this little sinus tickle, and so forth, and I move out and I've got this sinus tickle. I move out of the body and my sinuses tickle. Well, how can my sinuses tickle if I'm out of the body?"

That's a circuit, that's a circuit.

Well, they do. And, "I always have this funny feeling in my chest, and I was trying to leave that with the body when I stepped out of the body!" Of course, he's doing this kind of — he isn't telling you this. But he's got it in his chest. That's — that's him!

See, he's worried about a hidden communication. And now you build this up and you'll find out that the V is so worried about hidden communications that it's all dark, and everything out there is dark, and everything that there — where there's darkness there's a hidden communication in it.

It isn't that the thetan has lungs, but he's got a sensation there which happens to fit in the vicinity of the lungs and when he's in the body, it's irritating to the lungs. You move him out of the body and here he is outside of his body, and he's got this horrible pain in his chest. So you audit him as a thetan to get rid of the pain. And that's very easy to do, because he simply reaches over and he says, "For gosh sakes, here's this pain." He couldn't get through this MEST to grab hold of it, he didn't think — and he says, "Here's this pain. Oh, what do you know, it's a little box says — it says something on it; I don't know. Well, throw it away, anyway." I mean it'll be something silly like that.He plays games with himself. He's got all kinds of circuits all set up.He's got all — is this guy complex as a mechanism. He's got himself several personalities. He's all equipped to be anything, except he doesn't dare be anything because he's got to figure it all out first. That's his first mistake.

So what do you do? One of the ways to resolve this is a very amusing way to resolve this (you can put this down). You can just have him mock up — and you understand a V can't mock up a thing; that's his test. All right, now, he can't mock up, but you have him mock up, out beyond that darkness and so forth, beings in the darkness who suddenly discover that this person they're near is Joe — whatever the preclear's name is, see — they suddenly discover that's Joe, and they get real scared and run away. Two beings facing each other, they — out there in the hidden darkness.

And his second mistake is he thinks he moves. That's — that sounds silly, doesn't it? He thinks he moves.

And then you have two more horrible beings being all set, crouching in wait behind a couple of rocks (this is all by concept, you understand) and have these two beings all of a sudden find out it's Joe! And then be very pleased and happy and step out into the clear, say, "Well, it's Joe." You'll be surprised what this does. What you're doing is double-terminaling out fear of hidden influences.

Of course, everybody knows they move. V walks down the street, he, naturally, he goes over to the door and he opens the door, and he goes out and he walks down the street. He's moving. That's obvious, isn't it? Well, it's very obvious, but it doesn't happen to be true! What's moving? You're talking about a viewpoint of dimension. What's moving is the viewpoint of dimension. So what is moving in this case? The street. The street's moving. Why? Your V is using the anchor points of the MEST universe, and he's so dependent upon them that you aren't going to get him anyplace unless you let him use them a little bit. So, you know, get that as the pri — this is real idiocy.

The most flagrant hidden influence, of course, is a snake. You walk along and there's Mr. Snake, and he's in the grass and there you step and there you go!

He — he never moves! He has never moved throughout all of time, but his environment has moved. That tells you right there how to process a V. That should be just snap, and you know how to process a V.

That's why a person, almost any preclear that you get when you first get hold of him, will have a blank area behind his back. That's because an enemy can step behind his back, so it's the dangerous area. How do you solve that? You just have two enemies step up behind the back, raise a spiked club, get ready to hit him on the head and say, "Oh, why wait a minute, wait a minute, that's — that's Bill! If we hit him, h000! What he'll do!" And have them run away.

You say, "All right," to this fellow. You've got him sitting down in the chair, and he's just taken his hat off. And you say, "All right, now, move Nelson's monument under you."

And if he can't do that, you have a couple of enemies gathered together out there in the dark, and they've done something to Bill, the preclear, and found out afterwards it was him and they didn't understand that it was him, and they get very sad about it and kill themselves. Do that mock-up a few times and his fear of hidden influences starts going.

"All right," he says, "but I doubt if I ... Well, mmm-mmm-mmm. It doesn't seem very real, though."

But what else starts going if you keep up that little drill? The circuits, because what are the circuits sitting on? Although pain and unconsciousness is necessary to knock them in, it's the hidden datum that's there. What's the hidden influence? The hidden influence! You could say about this universe particularly, "This is the universe of the hidden influence." The hidden influence in this universe is a communication line which is not visible. And that's a — that is the hidden influence of this universe.

"Well, that's all right, move the Amazon jungle under you."

So we get the hidden influence lying at the bottom of every thinking machine. If you wanted to build a wonderful thinking machine, you would have to build into it a hidden influence. That's right, if it were really going to perform automatically forevermore, you'd have to have it react when con-fronted with a certain kind of maybe. You know, any kind of a maybe is based on a hidden influence. "Was it there? Wasn't it there?"

"Oka " y.

You — there is a way to shoot computations on a case. By the way, this is the hottest way to shoot computations on a case I know. Is just ask them the last time they really weren't sure about a communication, or really sure about who it was, and they'll tell you.

"All right, now move Peking under you. That's good. That's good. Now move central Canada under you. That's real good. Now move the North Pole under you. That's good. Now move the Washington Monument under you. That's good. Now move St. Paul's Cathedral under you. That's very, very good. Now move the Nile under you. That's good, that's fine. Now how about — how about Afghanistan? That's real good. Now how about the Pyramids? Okay. How about some palm trees down in the South Pacific? That's very good. How about the east Indian Ocean? Move that under you," so on.

Well, they weren't sure whether or not they had received a phone call. You say, "Fine, let's get the earlier time."

In other words, you go on in this line. Every time he gives you, "Uh-huh," why, you move him to something else.

"Oh, earlier? Yes, yes."

He says, "Say, you know, I'm outside." He says, "You're not kidding." He says, "You know what happened? I was just standing there. There's the waves running down there! Yeah, I'm — I'm out."

"Well, let's get an earlier time than that, when you weren't sure whether you had or had not received a communication," and so on.

Now he isn't — now here will come this beautiful interlude. Now here will come this interlude. He'll say, he'll say, "You know, I didn't think I was out because I've still got my lumbago. It still hurts; my back still hurts, and why is my back still doing . . ." And he'll look around and he'll say, "Well, the body is back there and it doesn't hurt. Well, you know that body is just . . . Well, this is me! Hurrah, hurrah! I think I'll go and sit down on a mountain some-place for a couple of thousand years and recover!"

By the way, you can shoot them right on back down the track on this. Why? Oh, you pick up those hidden things one right after the other. You'd say, "Well the — gee, these maybes are quite interesting, and why is it that we suddenly pick this up clear on back to about three years of age?" Well, that's because you're going down the basic run of the middle of the circuit, see?

Now, how do you audit him? You audit him just the same way you audit any other thetan; there is just more wrong with him as a thetan. You've been trying to get him out as a point. He's not a point, he's a body. He's the whole universe.

The unanswered question, that's what makes a bullpen, you know? Everything related to this unanswered question ever afterwards gets unanswered. For instance, if somebody told somebody a joke when he was five years of age and it went into one of these bullpens — maybe, maybe it was funny, or why was it funny, or maybe it wasn't funny; he doesn't know why — and you'll find that joke will actually flash to the surface during your auditing. Told to him when he was five; he's now forty.

Now, how long do we keep this up? Move this under him and move that under him? Now, understand this, never say, "Move over the" or "Be over the monument." Say, "Move the monument under you." "Move the environment" is the key to all this — "Move the environment," and he'll move around like a dream. He just audits like a dream; there's nothing to this. You give him a few of these — most of these V's — you give him a few of these and they say, "Well, well, well, well." They start to get real excited. Why? Because they're really out.

That's been parked in what you could call a bullpen. That, by the way, is technical nomenclature used in these big electronic brains. They have standard banks and bullpens. And the bullpen is where the data waits to be answered. And so these bullpens, however, are all based on this (in the human mind) on this hidden datum. There must be a hidden datum there of some sort. If a fellow could find the data, he'd be all right. So after this, he — this keeps going on this subject.

But remember, they've started using the MEST universe as anchor points and they're depending upon the MEST universe to keep their anchor points apart, so what? So the MEST universe is also depended upon to keep the distance apart between their facsimiles. Oh, isn't that horrible? I mean, this guy has got an engram bank and he's depending on something else to keep his engrams apart, and nothing is going to keep his engrams apart or off of his body or off of him as a theta body.

So when is the last time he wasn't sure he received a co — whether he did not — whether there was or wasn't a communication? That's the best way to state that. When was the last time he wasn't sure whether there was or was not a communication? In other words, a hidden communication line.

He's going to be sailing around out there over the east Indian Ocean, and all of a sudden he says, "You know, I just — still got this space opera engram hanging on my jaw." And you say, "Well, all right. Now let's see, let's be over Zanzibar. Now let's find a palm tree there in Zanzibar. That's real good. That's real good. Now take that facsimile and park it eight feet from the palm tree. Now, you got it there? Get that distance fixed right there, right at that palm tree. Eight feet, not eight feet and one inch, now just eight feet. Got it there fixed? Okay. Now, you get it fixed and don't let it move now! Now, be over the Washington Monument. Snap."

The next thing is, is all right, you're still worried about that. Now what are you unwilling to be? See, communication — be — I mean it's the same — same breed of cat. What were you — it must be that if you are worried about a hidden communication in that bracket, then you must be unwilling to be something. Now, what are you unwilling to be?

Now, you say, "You over the Washington Monument?"

This, by the way, is how you would shoot a V's computations. You'd just shoot them out through the roof with a shotgun this way. "What were you unwilling to be at this point?" "Oh, I don't — I don't know, I don't know. Well you see, the data concerned my job. And — and — and I didn't ever know whether the boss did say that to Miss Finks or not. Maybe she did say it to him and maybe she didn't, or maybe it wasn't said to Mr. Finks. But Miss Finks thought it . . . I don't know, to tell you the truth! It is just a funny thing. It was all that morning there was this cold atmosphere around the office and somebody must have said something because a little later on some-body referred to the correspondence in a way that I knew somebody had said something."

"Oh, yes, yes, yup, I'm here" and so on and so forth. "You know, I used to think I was afraid of — hoop! Whoops! I am — I am a little bit scared of height, yet, but ... I used to be very scared of it."

Here we go on to a real full-blown Case V; see, this is wonderful. This is beautiful! This is actually about around Case VI en route to becoming Case VII.

Now, you say, "Where is that facsimile?"

Here's a beautiful, "Did somebody tell a story about him or didn't they?" He doesn't know; he'll never know. What's he unwilling to be? That's the point. That's the sudden question you ask him. He was unaware — he couldn't figure out about the communication, so he was unwilling to be something. Well, he thinks this over for a long time, and he tells you he was unwilling to be fired. So you have him be a fired person. Just mock up a fired person facing a fired person and have him be this mock-up for a while and be pleased about being fired and what do you know, the bank blows on the subject of that type of data.

"Oh, that's back there in Zanzibar."

Shoot the circuit. What's he unwilling to be? And you'll find that there are two basic things he's unwilling to be: One is a ridiculed person and the other is a betrayed person — to have his anchor points pulled out and held, which is ridiculed, and pushed in and held, which is betrayed. Those are the two kinds of people that are undesirable, and all other categories really fall into those categories. Whatever pattern the anchor points make, that makes the kind of person. But it's betrayed and ridiculed are the basics on these circuits.

"Oh," you say, "it's back there in Zanzibar. In other words, you're depending on the MEST universe to keep these things apart, huh? Well, how about you taking a couple of these facsimiles and pull them apart and tell them to stay apart? Okay, you did that?"

So the hidden datum, the hidden communication that he doesn't know about and he can't be sure about combines with these other two things, which is to say, the ridiculed person or the betrayed person. He's unwilling to be something. All right, that's the story. That's the basis of all these circuits and all these computations.

"Yeah, they did too!"

You find a circuit case going around; you can shoot them out with a phrase sometimes, but you'll shoot out every case in the bank if you want to fool around with this. Now, it's not necessary that you fool around with this, it's necessary that you understand that a V shouldn't be sitting there figuring. That V should be being. A V should be being, not figuring.

"Well, how about picking the rest of the facsimiles off of the back of your neck there, and those past deaths off of your feet, and the time the auto — well, just take that automobile off of your face, and a few of these things and put them out here and put them at exact distances, one from another."

And you let a preclear run himself, and he'll figure, figure, figure on every data that he runs across; every datum he encounters, he'll figure. What's happening in that case? He's running on a self-auditing circuit which is self-auditing some other auditing circuits, and he has a royal time. He gets a long ways, he does.

"Okay," he'll say. New idea to him. A new idea!

E-Therapy, for instance, was a circuit auditing a flock of circuits. I under-stand there's somebody in Poughkeepsie, or something like that — Pesthouse, I think his name is — he has a technique which reverses E-Therapy. It puts the circuit — it puts the pc outside the pc as a circuit, auditing all the circuits of the pc, and getting them all to run automatically. This is very good, very good; it'll pr — a lot of business for the insane asylums. But we don't happen to want any business in the insane asylums; we're trying to close them up. I have to write him a letter and make him understand this more clearly. He evidently hasn't gotten the point. Maybe he has an uncle that's in charge for him, but I don't know. Anyway .. .

"Ah," you'll say to him, "now that you're out there in space or wherever you are, you can put out a beam. Why don't you try to put out a beam?" "Oh, I couldn't do that." And yet he can.

There you see the idiocy of most self-auditing, because it's a circuit which is based on a hidden datum trying to find a hidden datum. And brother, more hidden data will come up.

But what do you do? You just put him through the drills of the rest of the steps. But those I've just given you are absolutely essential to the V.

The problem of research was made peculiarly difficult because every time one turned around, he would find himself having to figure something which was just set up to figure in case there was something there. I mean, you'll find yourself going down more blind alleys, and winding up in more nowheres and wondering, "Now, why do I keep thinking about this?" Well, the reason you kept thinking about that, you run into a circuit. All right.

Now, I do not know whether your cases will uniformly crack under this. I believe, however, that you will have made an essential error if you don't find the V cracking immediately. And that error is simply this: You have mistaken a V for a VI. What is a V? He not only doesn't get mock-ups easily, you could say offhand he gets them patchily or none. He's pretty bad. He's pretty bad on mock-ups. He isn't putting out anchor points. When you tell him to throw his anchor points out they disappear. That's a V.

The hidden datum; looking for the hidden datum. There must be a mysterious, hidden datum which would simply blow everything up. Yes, there was a hidden datum. What is the answer to this? That there is a hidden datum. Now, there's a lot of this data isn't circuit data. But we get this coincidence of that. And you must remember this when you're auditing a V, and I'm only wasting this much time to impress upon you the fact that you have to stay in communication with him, because every time you take your finger off of him, he'll figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure.

What's a VI? A VI is neurotic. What's the test of being neurotic? That isn't saying he's damned. What is the test of being neurotic? It's simply this: He's unable to easily recall the things in the next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis: something really real, the time he was really in communication, and so forth.

He'll come back to the next session — if you haven't done anything right with him, or something of the sort, if you haven't really got him crushed, by the time he comes back for the second session, what's he going to do? He'll have eighteen sheets of typewritten paper, all single-spaced on both sides and it will be the computations on his case.

And boy, don't you ever let me catch you missing on that one. And you get a guy and you get him all the way down to W, don't test him as a V, test him as a VI, just as routine. Don't miss on it, please, because I've seen a preclear audited for eighty-five hours without anybody asking him, "Can you remember something real?" And he almost fell off the end of the couch with complete delight. He remembered something real; he remembered coming in the door of the Foundation that morning. So we shot the auditor and went on with the business. Well, anyway, there is your test. Don't test a V. Just ask him to remember something real; he'll maybe struggle around with it and ask him the list, and so on.

And he's figured out "It's this. And it's his father's — his — no, it's his — well, it really is because it's school. I mean no, the head — no. That didn't have anything to ... Well, he's — he's got — and there was this aunt and he knows he's doing a life continuum on his dog. And his dog — and — and but just a — but of course, that couldn't have been it. And — and couldn't it be true that God and forgiveness really was at the bottom of all this anyhow? And — and ..." You know.

If you get to Case IV, Level IV, just skip ... And, he would — he doesn't do IV easily, just skip over it. Ask him something really real. And then you go on with this other act.

That's a circuit, that's a circuit: "Got to find the datum; got to find the datum; got to find it, got to find it, got to — pant." Well, it ought to be there, I mean, "dumm-dumm."

But if he's very, very bad at something really real; in other words, he's got a communication lag index there of fifteen, twenty seconds on each one of those questions, half a minute on something really real, the time he was really in communication, and all that sort of thing, boy he's a VI.

Well, all right. Let's punctuate that right afterwards. What's insanity? Well, it's the same thing that starts these circuits. Have you ever seen a hid-den datum? The person is too often ridiculed and too often betrayed, and lying below the too often ridiculed and too often betrayed is the hidden datum type of thing in the MEST universe. And that is to say, the guy is going at sixty miles an hour and he turns the curve and he hits a log right across the road — crash! There's no log belongs there. That's a hidden datum, see? And after he gets knocked out, he comes to and he can't remember if the log was across the road or not. But he knows something happened, and then he wonders what he did.

And what you want to do is go right to work with your little book, and say, "All right, now here's an exercise about time. Now, can you remember a time that was a long time ago? Can you create a scene that has to do with a long time ago? That's real good. Fine. Create a scene for that and create a scene for something else." And we go on down the line and we do some Self Analysis, and after we've done some Self Analysis then we simply move him out of his body by moving the MEST universe under him, and it gives him a viewpoint of dimension. He's completely overlooked the fact that he is his own viewpoint of dimension.

For instance, I audited a pilot one day who had bailed out over Kiel, Germany. I got this kid out of his airplane and solved his case. He had for many years been trying to get out of an airplane. And every time you audited him, he'd sit there with his face all screwed up and he's pressed back by the wind. And he sat there for a little while, and I ran, oh, overt acts on a couple things and loosened him up, and all of a sudden said, "Were you ever in a crash?" Just routine, see, I knew something about his record. "Yeah, I was in a German prison camp for eight months, and so on." He'd bailed out. He never knew how he got out of the plane. So he spent all the time in this prison camp, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure. "How'd I get hit and how'd I get out of the plane?"

And you take a lot of these I's; you ask them to step out of their heads and they're pretty foggy and they don't know whether it's up or down or so forth. And they tell you they're a little point and they can't change their minds rapidly and they don't appear to you to be any I. You could tell a I. They're young most of the time. Kids mostly.

And I put him through it several times, and all of a sudden he said, "You know, there it is. Yes!" And bing! all of his worries went up in smoke.

And you say, "Well, all right, now where you got your facsimiles? You got a package of facsimiles there?" And this I will say, "Oh, yeah, I've got all of those facsimiles right here and . . ." Oh, he's all right. I mean, he's got these facsimiles wherever he is and he's got all this bric-a-brac, and he says, "Yes, I've got circuits and that sort of thing." But you say, "All right, now where's your facsimiles?"

He found out how he had reached forward and grabbed what lever to pull what canopy off. And found out how he had gotten his ripcord out. Whew!

"Why, I left those with the . . ." He doesn't know he's outside; he's kid-ding you. He doesn't even vaguely suspect he's outside. He's got some kind of a dim idea that maybe he's outside but he's already read a big long book on astral walking or something of the sort, and that's what he's doing and he's not a I. So don't let yourself get fooled on that.

What's insanity? Well, that took a hidden datum — not know — plus what, plus what? Pain! Betrayal or ridicule plus pain. You'll find that a fellow who has fallen a considerable distance and has stopped suddenly without even completing the fall believes himself to have been ridiculed. He didn't fall to the ground, you understand. He hung by his suspenders from the tree branch or something of the sort. You see, right away that's funny. That's ridicule. That means an anchor point held out that he can't get back. All right, that's ridicule and the other is betrayal.

The test is, does he come out complete? And what's complete? That's fully equipped with circuits and facsimiles and, in many cases, somatics.

So what do we have as the basic on this, then? We've got just that point, just that one point we're looking at there — pain, hidden datum. Pain and the hidden datum.

How do you move him out, then, at the hot — toughest level to move any-body out on? How do you move him out? By moving the environment piece by piece under him. You'll find at first when you do this, he'll be scared. What do you do about this?

Did you ever see somebody smash his finger? Did he dance around? When you ran him back through that incident, you found him pretty con-trolled all the way through it. Well, what happened to all his frenzy? He buried it. He buried that, and he buried it quick because that's insanity. He didn't know how he came to hit his finger. As a matter of fact, the moment he was dancing around, he hadn't really realized that he'd hit his finger. His mind had gone out on him with pain, shock, see — pang! And for an instant, he all of a sudden shakes his hand frenziedly, you see?

He says, "But it doesn't look real to me." Don't pay any attention. You do this until he finally breaks loose with a bright smile and says, "What do you know, that is the Indian Ocean. There is a ship! And look at the sea gull sitting on the bell buoy." And he's gotten real interested. You'll find him doing all sorts of things. You'll find him wanting to go down over the water and doing this and that and so forth. Let him, it's a big adventure.

That frenzy or the control and suppression of so much frenzy that one is completely just frozen in place is insanity. The frenzy itself or the aspects of that frenzy which go down, of course, to apathy, which is itself, you might say, sort of a motionless frenzy; it feels awful bad, apathy does.

Is a V's perception any worse in the body than out of the body? No. What the devil is he using those eyes for and what's he got glasses on them for?

Real apathy is kind of sticky, you know. It feels bad. You don't — don't monkey around if a preclear tells you he's running apathy; you just keep on running the apathy, and you get it on out because it really is bad. He could go way down. And if you suddenly betray him while he is feeling that apathetic by suddenly pushing in his anchor points or talking to him wrong or not being sympathetic or something of the sort, he can spin practically. But what is all that? That's just a mixture of pain, that's all. So you get pain plus a hidden datum, you've got insanity.

Well, that's something you'll have to answer. I'm sure I wouldn't have any-thing to do with his pretending to be human.

Every psycho you've got down here, then, has simply lost control during a moment of pain and is over a hidden datum. Then we look along — we look along his track and we find out people were mean to him and people betrayed him. Years and years later he spins on this; he goes insane.

What's the primary thing that you can expect to change in him? He'll think maybe he hasn't got any goals or anything of the sort, or that he's liable to fail. Or he may come back and say, "What do you know, I can do some of the things I wanted to do!" What you do is run him on the rest of the steps out of his body, not in his body. And what happens if he gets sent back in his body and gets stuck again? You move more environment under him in that kind of a drill. Now, these are geographical locations on the face of the Earth, and the further apart the better. And the further from his MEST body, the better.

And we look for his wife's departure from him to have been the course and saw — cause of his insanity. Well, as a matter of fact, you audit his wife's departure or the departure of women in terms of mock-ups, or make him be a departing woman or something of the sort a few times, and he'll snap out of it. That isn't because you've hit the base on it.

And do you do the exercise of double-terminaling him with his body? That is, Step II? Well, you can omit it if you want to for a long time because when he gets close to that body he's liable to snap in. He's going to say, "Wait a minute, I'm outside of my body." Or he's liable to get such a re-echo, because he's the same shape, size and general description of the body.

And what do you know, the — this eating on sex. This, you know, this eating people, it's fascinating to bring that up. It sounds so non sequitur here. I've mentioned it to you before. Before they got the symbolized eating called sex, why, they ate bodies. A big punch in death — there's a tremendous outburst in death. It's quite interesting. Degradation, by the way, is having gone through the process, having been eaten.

Now, another thing a V has is terrible feeling of pretense. He feels he's pretending. He feels like everything is pretense. Everything is insincerity and everything is pretense and it's all pretense anyway, and that's all there is in the universe and that's horrible. Well, listen, don't let this worry you. That — that is the result of people telling him, "Oh, it doesn't hurt either."

Well, anyway that's — there's pain there; there's agony! And when you get this thing mixed up with sexual activity, it makes a very interesting case. No wonder Freud was so death on sex. Well, let's just — let's just not much worry about that. We find out that there was a lot of agony in this. We're not interested too much in that — his being eaten, even, because what do we find is the base of it?

He cuts his finger; little kid. He says, "It hurts! It hurts!"

We find the MEST universe is the base of it. We find the sixth dynamic is all we're interested in with this character; that's all we're interested in — the sixth dynamic, we're not interested in the second.

"No, it doesn't hurt. You're just pretending. It doesn't hurt," this, that, so on. "Oh, it's not really as bad." In other words, invalidation of his aches and pains and sorrow.

We go back to this and we find out that he was in an automobile accident when he was ten, and he's still sitting in the automobile accident worrying about his mother. He's half-unconscious; he hears his mother speak out. He thinks he caused the accident, because his mother said, "You caused the accident." She said it to the other guy in the other car, see?

Now, you can expect a V to have been very badly invalidated on the subject of sorrow, unhappiness and so forth. He hasn't been permitted to be unhappy; he hasn't been permitted to be sad; he hasn't been permitted to be anything. Boy, he's really restricted to the dickens. So don't feel strange if this character is in a little bit sad shape when he comes outside. How do you remedy this? Well, you can look on your mimeographed sheet of steps and you will see there Step III and Step IV — Step IV, Step III given to him while he's out of his body will remedy this.

And she's — or he said something quite rationally; he was actually making some noise in the backseat about a half an hour before, and while they were on this trip, and his father said, "If you don't stop making that noise, you're making me so nervous, we'll have an accident." And they have an accident, and he says it's his fault, see?

And that, I hope, pending further reports from auditors saying, "We are not able to pronounce the word 'move,' or something," I hope that finishes and buttons up the case of the V.

It's blame, his fault! He has to deny and thereafter distrust himself on such a deal, and that's an interesting computation, by the way. Denial of self; that is the most dangerous crime there is. You say, "I didn't do it" when you did, and you're done for.

Thank you very much.

Now — or denial of your right to lie is also interesting. You'd think that it would be the other way around, but no, it happens to be that if you — if you preserve your right to lie at will, you're all right. But if you have to protest too honestly all the time, so on, you've agreed with the MEST universe, and that's all wrong. I'm not then advising lying as a matter of course, but you shouldn't be stuck with lying to a point where you deny that you have ever lied.

You start saying to yourself, "I am an honest man. I have never told a lie." Boy, that's the biggest lie of all, and that's an agreement with the MEST universe, so it's quite aberrative. All right.

Now, we'll go into this — go into this V, then, with our eyes, you might say, wide-open, where the V's are closed tight. What's the — what can you count he's sitting on? He's sitting on pain. He's got the lines shut to it. He is successfully dealing with it by cutting communication with his pain. There is a frenzy in this case, and he will descend rather rapidly down to Level VI if you do what? Run too much Admiration Processing on him. He'll go down to VI, then you process him on VI and he can handle it successfully and come back up to V.

But theoretically, you could just run admiration, being pleased with things, and so forth, often enough where you would make this boy feel he was spinning. By the way, this V probably never will spin. But he'll start feeling like he is spinning if you open up too many lines indiscriminately on him.

So we rather walk lightly on techniques which have to do with admiration and that sort of thing. I can give you some of the techniques to supplant this.

But let's ask, "Why is he a V, and what is he doing?" He is a V because his anchor points work in reverse. He doesn't know this and he isn't aware of it yet. He'll find it out in the course of auditing that when he sends his anchor points out, they come in, and when he sends his — pulls his anchor points in, they go out.

How do you get this man to operate his anchor points, then? You tell him to pull in his anchor points, and sure enough, they'll go out. He'll all of a sudden will get a lighted area around him. Will it stay lighted very long? No! Because he's suffering from light starvation. That is just as good as food starvation. The body is suffering from light starvation.

This person has led the kind of a life which has caused him to be inside when he wanted to be outside and has starved him for light. And as a consequence, he has followed the horrible cycle of the MEST universe.

Now, let me give you this cycle in just a breath. The cycle is the thetan makes it — that's first — the thetan is capable of making it and makes it. And then he gets into associations with other thetans who also make it, and he interchanges whatever it is (light, in this case) with other thetans. He's down to 50 percent there, you see? Then he may get around to a thetan who makes most of it, and then he becomes dependent on that light.

Or he gets into the MEST universe and starts to depend on the MEST universe for light, and then the MEST universe always follows this cycle: desires it, enforces it, inhibits it — DEI is the cycle of action. That goes along with start, change and stop. At 40.0, you have, you have desire, and then you have below that enforcement, and below that you have inhibit.

So the fellow starts out by desiring, then has to have light, and then can't get light. Now, if you run GITA on somebody, Give and Take, you will find this: That on a lot of the quantities you present them with — if they're fairly low on this scale — a lot of the quantity you present them with, they will have to waste before they can consume them. They'll have to be sure that they are wasting them before they can consume them.

This tells you about welfare states, for instance. They're no responsibility and so forth; why materials get wasted in them.

Indigent people who know they can't have something, also know it doesn't exist. And you could present them with gallons and gallons of milk, and they would actually have to empty it into the gutter — gallons and gallons of it — before they'd become satisfied that that was milk and drink it.

Now, you start doing GITA with milk on people who have bad teeth, and the first thing you're going to find out is, is you're going to have to have them pouring this milk down the sink and throwing it away, and doing all sorts of things with this milk except drink it. And then the next thing you know, why, they get to a point where they could give it to a starving baby in the house if there were ten gallons of it. They can get a mock-up, then, of the baby drinking this thimbleful of milk. All right. And you solve that scarcity and all of a sudden, we find what? We find that the preclear can take a gallon of milk when it's the last gallon in the world and there are eight babies starving for milk in the house, and have him mock himself up drinking it. He wouldn't do that, but he's capable of making the mock-up by now. All right, so we have scarcity, and there is the cycle of scarcity, and everything is scarce for a V, mainly light.

So, he will have to waste light before he will accept light. So every time he puts out his anchor points, he's so light-starved that they disappear on him. Of course they disappear, he's light-starved. His engram bank, his lines, everything else just go shlurp! and they soak up all that light, and do it so fast that you're not going to be able to turn light on around him enough, and you'll just open up these lines to undesirable things. So you just ask him to start wasting light. Just don't bother to tell him to start taking it in, just tell him to start wasting it.

He'll find out he can waste it after you push him a little bit. Yeah, he can get the idea of leaving the lights on in the house; leaving the lights on in London with nobody in London during daylight hours, and he can waste light.

You'll find something interesting will turn up. You'll find out that he's been abused by the sun. He's been in the tropics; he's been sunburned; he's had sunstroke; he's had heat stroke; something on that order so that he has had to fall away from light.

Furthermore, he's had a profession which has kept him out of the light, and there's your V. He's got to waste light before he can get light. All right.

He thinks himself incapable of manufacturing light, because every time he tries to throw light out he gets it in his — he gets the anchor points back in his face. Also, you see, this man has lost too much. But you say, "Lost too much? Lost too much what?"

"Anchor points."

"What are anchor points?"

"Particles of light." You see, he's lost too much.

Now, when somebody tried to take something away from him, he thought that they stretched his anchor points out. They didn't. When he reached for the object which was leaving, he pulled his anchor points in. The anchor points are in reverse, and they blanketed him. Now, this makes him also feel he's protecting himself and using these anchor points for armor. He does — he's under the delusion also that he can't make anchor points. He has to depend on something to make anchor points. Well, all right.

How does this come about? How does this come about that the V gets light-starved, anyhow? I mean, how can a man be light-starved? How can a thetan be light-starved? It's a very funny thing. You'll find the body of a V is much more light-starved than the thetan. And you can actually process the individual with a process I'm going to give you without solving light starvation. But you must remember this in this particular case.

In all of these cases, we have two techniques which will sound to your ear to be the same technique, but they're two distinctly different techniques. One is Matching Terminals and one is Double Terminals.

Matching Terminals would be putting a person facing a person; the same person facing the same person. And Double Terminals would be getting two communication lines parallel. Do you see that difference? You — takes four people to get two communication lines. So double terminals means you mock up four of the same person or two of one person, two of another person, in such a way as to give you — as to give you four terminals with an identical line.

You mock up, for instance, four of the same woman facing — two pair facing two pair, or facing in from the corners. Or you mock up two wives, identical; two husbands, identical; facing the two wives. And what will appear? The communication line, the hidden lines, will appear because you've got a double terminal on a line. That's simple, isn't it?

I mean a double terminal would simply give you — I mean a matching terminal — matched terminals would simply give you two terminals facing each other with one line, and that line is invisible. That line is the hidden influence in this universe. The line is invisible. You can't see sound. You can't see photons. You can't see air. The vital things are hidden. You can see a light source and you can see it hit, but you can't see it en route unless there's dust in the air, or something like that.

And that is a line and this is a universe of lines and these lines are hidden. So we do a double terminal. Let's say we take four women, all the same woman. We mock her up four times and have a pair facing a pair. See, we have two women facing two women side by side, making a square there, and we get the line between the two facing each other, so we get two lines.

And this is the only way, you see, we'll get a double terminal on a communication line is to have four terminals. Therefore, when you are working with a V, particularly if you're going to ask him to do any operation with regard to terminals after he gets a little bit better on a mock-up so he can barely get one, you make him work not to get two mock-ups but to get four mock-ups. And the reason why you got to get him with four mock-ups is his trouble is no lines.

And you will just mock him up — get him to mock up, mock up, mock up, mock up, mock up and even though you ask him to put a line in there, his perceptics are going to get worse and worse and worse. Why are they going to get worse? Because perception depends upon a line. And you're not rehabilitating lines, you're rehabilitating terminals when you're just telling him to get matching terminals. To get two terminals, you're just rehabilitating terminals. Well, you can — you could rehabilitate terminals on a II, but don't try it on a V. He could more easily get two parallel lines, which are feeling good, than he could get two terminals, two people facing each other.

And what his starvation is, as I said, his starvation is light. Now, how does it come about that he has light? Is this because people haven't communicated with him? That's one of the things, by the way. He's lived with — this person lived with somebody too long who has a long communication lag.

He'd say, "How are you this morning, dear?"

"Well ... I don't know."

"Well, what's wrong, dear?"

"My head aches."

See, it's ruined him, just like that.

Now, let me show you, that communication lag, you see, is a lack of flow. And he's gotten so he waits on flows and waits and waits, and all it does is key in. It isn't this person that's making him a V. It's what? It's the fact that this person keys in his communication lack earlier. Light is a primary communication medium — sound — and these are lines. And anything the V is blank on, anything he's black on, he hasn't got.

You'll say he can't feel a somatic? All right, there's an absence, a scarcity of pain in his case. You wouldn't think that was possible, do you? But remember that a thetan — remember that a thetan would rather be anything than be nothing. And he would rather feel anything than feel nothing. So that your anesthetized character inevitably has too little pain. He can't experience enough pain! There you get sadism, masochism. All right. Now, here's the pain figure.

Now, what about sound? This V goes around and he says, "Be quiet! You don't know what you're doing to me! You could tmm-mmm-umm!" You drop a pin a block away, you know, "Ohh, ohh!" Well, now, what's this V — what's this V really got? He's got a scarcity, a terrible scarcity of sound.

What's he want? You trace back in his life and you'll find out that there was a scarcity of sound: dishpans dropping, cars running into cars. You — just question him for a little while, and you'll find out that when he was a little kid he used to take playing cards and put them on the wheels of his bicycle so in order to make it go this way or that. And he had four horns on the head of the bicycle and he customarily tied two tin cans onto the back of the bicycle seat so they'd bang on the pavement as he rode along. Yes, sir. And then he had to be quiet and be quiet and be quiet, and he got starved for sound eventually.

But you'll find much more pertinently that he's had to live by himself someplace and that way back on the track, he was in the great silence. He was out in space. That's why you get so many V's have a space-opera back-ground. Space, boy is it quiet! There's no air to carry sound. It's real quiet, real bad.

Okay. The — we don't look to those things to solve this. We just mock up things going off. And we mock up things going off for — so other people can hear them. We're going to waste them, see. He isn't going to hear them. You're going to mock up beautiful sights for other people to see, not for him to look at. You're going to mock up all kinds of horrible agony for other people to experience, not for him to experience. And we'll just keep on doing this.

Does he see the mock-ups? No. Are they appearing? Well, what do you know, they must be because they'll eventually solve the scarcity. And then we mock up sound: dishpans and falling, and buildings falling, and so forth. And you're going to have a picnic on this because it's obvious to you, for instance, running anybody who's been through heavy bombings, that they're highly antipathetic to sound, you know. Sound is bad stuff.

It wasn't the sound, it was the silence. Those long silences. Have they gone? Have they gone? Well, I whzeewww! Boom! Oh, they didn't go yet. I mean, that's the idea, you see? It's the silences.

You'd be surprised — you'd be surprised what a relief it is to turn loose with a whole battery of guns after you've been floating around in the mid-night black. I've seen crews practically empty the ammo boxes. You say, "What the hell are they shooting at!" "I said 'cease fire' five times! Number one gun is still going! What's the matter?" Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two things: nice big, beautiful ribbons of light going out there and all that beautiful sound. And yet these guys — I suppose at home, baby drops a diaper on the floor or something, and they say, "Why don't you keep that kid quiet!" Now, that's interesting, isn't it? That's scarcity of sound.

He's got scarcity of everything. Has he got a — has he got a somatic in his knee? Well, it's because he's scarce on knees. Bad eyesight? Scarce on light and scarce on eyes. Scarce on sights? Has he got a bad teeth? Scarcity of teeth. Has he got false teeth? Well, that's because there's just no teeth at all. Scarcity of teeth? How do you solve his worries about this subject? He could probably — make him grow new teeth, really, if you wanted to put your mind to it. He's got a somatic in his mouth, nothing on earth can get rid of this somatic in his mouth. Oh no? There's a scarcity on mouths.

Now, you look any one of these things over, and it appears that it must be that there was — there's too much of this sort of thing, so he's shut it off, and therefore you are dealing, really, with an abundance. Oh, there isn't any such thing as an abundance with regard to a thetan. He just can't have too much of anything. He wants to be the mostest of anything he can, but after a while he'll get into despair about it, so he'll say — says it doesn't exist.

I'm going to draw you a picture — I'm going to draw you a picture here of the time mechanism that runs a body in this universe. This is the sun and this is the Earth and this is the moon. Now, if we were to mock up this with a V, we would probably think, "Well, we'll just match this terminal, and you know, put the V facing the V, and saying they're short on light." Oh, no. No, no. You're going to have to double-terminal this. And I draw you a picture of a double terminal. That's a double terminal, see? We've got four, essentially. But we've only got two moons, we've only got two Earths, and we've only got two suns. All right, now that's four of them; we've got two suns, two Earths and two moons.

Now, we're going down here, and we're going to put this little figure here, and this is going to be our V. It's very interesting, he's just exactly in the same place; he's on top of Earth in each one. So here you have the two upper circles there, the sun; the two lower circles, Earth; and those two big circles, the moon; and with the V standing here on Earth — standing here on Earth in each case.

Now, I'm going to draw in the communication lines. Communication lines are from here to there, the force is against him and a communication line is from here to there, with the force against him. And the communication line is from here to here with the force against him, and with the force against him here.

You think that was all the communication lines there were — weren't you? Huh? You — look at this, here's these communication lines of the Earth below the sun, and there's photons from the sun coming down hitting the V; and the moonlight from the moon hitting the V, here. You think that's all the communication lines.

No, this chuckle-headed dope puts out beams. Actually, they're there, they show up in auditing. You don't have to worry about this but you'd won-der, "What are these things so solid for? What all — this guy — this is ..."

This guy has a somatic where he is pulling the sun. Now, why? I mean, well, it's just the fact that he actually has a loop up here around the sun. He's got a loop up here all the way around the sun, and he's got a loop over here all the way around the moon. And in here, he's got a loop here from himself clear around to Earth. And Earth's got a loop on him here, in each case.

Now look at that complex battery of lines. Look at those lines. There's the gravity of Earth. There is the sun. And what do you know, there's the gravity of the sun operating upon him. There's the moon — the gravity of the moon operating . . . You understand this moon and this sun working together raise tremendous tides. As a matter of fact, if rocks weren't so heavy they could be picked up by this thing, really. And don't think that a living being and that a plant and so forth follows that sun around. And nobody ever measured this before. I mean, we've had a lot of dopes in the field of biology, I'm sorry to say, or back — botany.

A lot — very, very dopey people. They must have been, or they would have discovered this with — before I had to dream up double-terminaling. This is fantastic that this — that everybody wonders, "What is this strange impulse in a little flower that makes it follow the sun around?" Well, it's sure a strange impulse! It's the gravity of the sun that pulls it around, of course. Isn't that simple? Honest, that's why a flower follows the sun.

If you don't believe this, set up some preclear and have him double-terminal this way. And get him, particularly just as the sun disappears over the realm of the world for the night. Urn-hum. What's he do at that moment? He tries to pull the sun back, of course. You'll find in the accumulated centuries of the body's development that it has built in tremendous somatics, tremendous somatics, on the idea of gravity and pulling the sun and pulling the moon. And talk about hidden influences, you couldn't see any of these pulls at all, could you? And you talk about a real hidden influence, listen, when that moon went over the head in the dark of the moon, it exerted the force of gravity on the preclear but it didn't give him any admiration, and so it didn't run its own somatic out.

So you'd get the preclear mocking up the moon passing overhead in the dark of the moon. And he'll say, "You know, it pulls my face." He does; he's just getting — don't tell him what's going to happen, just have him mock these things up.

And you take a V, if you can get him to mock these things up, you're going to have a picnic, a real picnic, because it practically pulls him to pieces!

Now, how do you get this mock-up? You just mock up Earth. Mock up the sun and mock up these, and keep putting them back, putting them back, putting them back, putting them into place, putting them into place, putting them into place.

But that isn't all there is to this Case V.
