And this is the afternoon lecture of January the 8th, 1954. Second lecture of the day.

All right. This is the first morning lecture of January the 8th, 1954 and we’re going to take up here some rather simple data. It’ll appear a little bit new to you till you begin to think it over and we’re talking straight now on its application. And you’ll gradually get this squared around as to how the basics that have gone in these earlier lectures integrate into the material which I’m giving you right now. That’s because we are now applying it to a very specific task and that task is the exteriorization of the preclear.

The supervision of auditing which I’ve checked up here in the morning on the auditors - we’re checking in the morning and I’ve bopped in a few times in the afternoon and taken a listen.

A preclear interiorized is, at first, on an automaticity of not letting go. He’s automatically holding on, that’s his automaticity. That’s his chief, main automaticity. And he’s fixed in a bundle of energy - another automaticity - and he is, therefore, being a symbol.

And let me go over just two or three real major bowls - great big glaring blunders that I’ve run into. One is an auditor was getting, evidently, complete compliance on Opening Procedure and yet had not inquired very much into his case. He was getting complete compliance. I mean, the fellow was walking around, but the fellow was kind of in apathy about it. And I did some variations on the case just to show the auditor what could be done a little bit, this and that, with Opening Procedure. Let him run a little test project that I’ve been working on. No great expectancy of very much happening to the case on that level. And checked in on the case again and, by golly, there’s still no change. But the auditor hadn’t examined his case. He just hadn’t examined the case very intimately.

And this whole thing goes into the production of power. This problem of exteriorization, honest, is much simpler but really much more mechanical than making an electric motor. There’s just nothing simpler than this.

That is to say, he just didn’t become acquainted with the facets and sit there and take a look at the material before him. He just didn’t take a look at it. That was the main thing I would say.

Now, you people who hear me say electricity every once in a while, jump, if you are not acquainted with the subject. But let me assure you that the people around who say they know something about electricity don’t say so if you press them a little bit. Because the first thing they were ever taught was that nobody knows anything about electricity. That always is the beginning of every course in electrical engineering.

This auditor, by the way, was running mechanically perfect. But he hadn’t looked at the case and so the case hadn’t done and hasn’t done, at this moment, a big communication change. Auditor’s other case has, so that’s all right.

“All right you people, nobody knows anything about electricity and that’s the first thing you know about it - that nobody knows how it’s created or what it is. Now, we’ll go on from there and learn all about it.” Which is about the most defeated subject there is. And that’s the common way of handling this.

Look at the preclear. He’s a specialized stack of problems. But look at him. He’s always doing one thing. He’s trying to waste, in the MEST universe, what he can’t have in his own, you might say. It’s a little rule of diagnosis which is tremendously important.

Well, the subject of “electricity” has to do with an interchange of energy or potentials between terminals. And when you’ve stated that as a clear definition - it is a perfectly clear definition - it’s interchange of potential between two terminals. And I don’t care what you do with it after it gets to these terminals and so forth, but it will resolve itself into mechanical energy or heat energy. And this, therefore, can be directly applied.

He’s right out there in plain sight, trying to waste what he can’t have. And a case will do, on Opening Procedure, a dwindling spiral of obedience. The preclear who gets terrifically dutiful is often trying to waste obedience. He will be so precisely obedient it is painful - painful, unnecessary and so forth. And that’s true of almost any case you see. They’re trying to waste obedience. Because they can’t have other people obedient and other MEST objects obedient to them.

There’s magnetic fields connected with it and they’re supposed to be different than gravity. I don’t know quite how anybody got that way, but they are supposed to be very different than gravity. When you deal with magnetism or attraction or gravity - I don’t care what you call it - you’re dealing with fixed or unfixed attention. When an individual’s attention is too closely fixed upon a planet, he will stay there - gravitywise. He doesn’t fly off the face of it.

All right. That’s big, obvious stuff. Now, let’s go into it a little less obvious and let’s see what else this fellow’s trying to waste. This girl - see what she’s trying to waste. Sometimes she’s trying to waste beauty and sometimes she’s trying to waste grace and sometimes she’s trying to waste other things. Sometimes she’s trying to waste money, trying to waste something or other. But you can just look at her or look at him and just observe them in the first few minutes of the session, just make them talk or something. And then as you’re running Opening Procedure, watch how they operate.

And so, you find GEs in rather bad condition when you’ve started to run something on them like, well, when you’ve started to run any one of these processes. But particularly sound, by the way, for some reason or other (because it’s a perception), you’ll find out that their feet will get tired or their feet will feel very lumpy or something will happen to their feet and their legs, their feet. You’ll hear this - and their feet will get restless or they get nervous or something like that. This is attention fixed upon the planet. See, that’s “gravity.” If that wasn’t there, they’d be light as a bird and actually could levitate.

Well, Opening Procedure isn’t going to tell you too much. What it will tell you is superobedience of a sort of an apathetic state. Now, you want to get good, live obedience. And you’ll see a terrific difference in a wasted obedience, a wasted compliance and an actual piece of teamwork.

When we get down to what actually is mass and what is the deep significance of mass, we’d certainly better go into the mechanics of thought. Because there is no other deep significance anywhere to be found in physics, electronics, anywhere else. They haven’t any significances, they just quit. They say, “A potential goes from here to there and we can do something with it.” Yeah, we can do something else with it, as a new potential.

Of course, the time the fellow comes up to an actual piece of teamwork on this subject, why, he’s so far out and beyond needing any auditing it’s fantastic. That one you can always count on, to some degree - they’re trying to waste, one way or the other, obedience. But that solves itself just by putting him through the line. You know, making him go through the paces.

So they take two terminals and they impose and take away space on them. Now, if you were to have two magnets or, actually, just two copper bars and you were to run a wire to each one and to run the wire to both sides of a meter and then you were to take these in your hands, have them insulated and everything from your hands, but take them in your hands there and push them this way and this way - look at the needle, you’re going to have current running. Might be a terribly slight current, but it’s going to be running.

Well now, I looked at a case one day - the guy wasn’t a case, he was just a fella, you know? Just a guy and he was standing in an office. Oh boy, he was having an awfully rough time trying to find, in a file card system, a name.

Now, in its essence, this is done artificially in an electric motor. It doesn’t look like it’s being done in an electric motor, because the thing is done by rotation and you’ve got something going flip-flop, see? Flip-flop, flip-flop. And you’ve got a magnet in there or coils of wire and so forth, which are, first, parallel to the electrodes - that is, there’s two electrodes sitting around this dynamo - two electrodes sitting there around the central coil, you might say, and you’ve brought these two electrodes closer together by putting the coil close to them. And then you put it vertical, so now you’ve got a different set of electrodes working. And you’re actually working, not a plus and minus, but in 8-80 you’ll find a resolution of this problem. It’s very brief, but it sure means an awful lot to an electrical engineer. I mean, he looks at that thing and he says, “Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-well gee, we missed something, we’ve been talking all the time.”

Well now, when you realize that a thetan has the potentiality of looking at a card file and simply reaching into the card file and pulling the name out, a fellow looking endlessly through a card file system for one name - now, this comes out kind of weird. You say, “he’s trying to ‘waste’ finding.” You know? He’s just intentionally wasting finding, because he can’t have finding.

What he gets fascinated with, at first, is that every plus has to be a minus and every minus a plus, simultaneously with its being its own pole. You can’t have two terminals and produce anything, you’ve got to have four. The plus terminal has got to be minus and the minus terminal has got to be plus. That is to say, at the same time they’re being plus and minus. Here’s your main problem. And that is a double terminal in our category. An electric motor won’t run as a matched terminal, it runs as a double terminal. We needn’t go into such a technical aspect of it, merely because it’s not important. But when we say Double Terminal, we say get somebody to put four of something out there, boy, they charge and discharge and do all sorts of things a lot more readily than if you put two out there. Because, you see, in essence, there are two terminals in the coil of the motor, as well as two electrodes in the magnet sections which surround it. And when these things change in position to each other, you get an electrical current generated.

So I ran a little Creative Processing on him and had him mock-up things and find them. Of course, this is a high degree of generality, you know, I mean this is actually silly to go into such a high degree of generality, because this is wrong practically with every case. They’re trying to waste finding, one way or the other.

In other words, you’ve actually - although you’re rotating something, it looks just like you’re just sitting there rotating something - actually you’re changing the position of these terminals with relation to each other in space. Because, at first, the coil is vertical and then it’s horizontal, and then it’s vertical and it’s horizontal and as a result, why, you get, actually, four terminals working. You get two permanent terminals and two spinning terminals.

But this was a spot thing. He was trying to find something in pieces of paper, see? He was just trying to waste this findingness, somehow or other, see? A thetan feels if he can just waste enough of something, he can have it. He’s doing that all the time.

Well, you can take four of anything and push them in at each other and pull them out at each other and if you’ve got a meter hooked up to them, you’ll get a current. I don’t care what it is either, you can take four pieces of wood and you could get some kind of a tiny little current, as long as you’re pushing them in and out. It isn’t air friction. It’s any time you start changing space on something, you get this confounded thing called an electrical potential.

So we had him find things on pieces of paper. We had him find pieces of paper. We started this out, not with Creative Processing, but we had him put a piece of paper on the desk and then look all over the room for it before he found it, although he knew where it was all the time. Real cute process.

You start putting space between something and increasing it and then you decrease it and increase it and decrease it and so forth, you fool around with it on a laboratory bench and you’ll learn more about electricity in less time than they’ve known for a long while. Just simply because of this: they neglected the space. Naturally an electronics man would neglect space, because he can’t have space. And you take any of these cases, any of these electronics cases, you’ll find out what they’re short on - they can’t look at space.

All of a sudden, things went zing, bong, crash, see? And he was wearing glasses there, of the “What fog?” variety. His eyesight changed and his glasses became unusable in about five minutes, oh, I guess it was about eight minutes, ten minutes, something like that, of processing. A little, small coup.

They’re trying to get away from space and get into more solid things. And their lack of space has taken out the most important thing in the motor, which is space. Space is the most important thing in the motor, not terminals and potential and all the rest o£ this and that.

Well, here was his trouble finding things in a piece of paper. It went back to the fact that the fellow had had a very arduous education and several very tough bosses. But I did this in a business office which had nothing to do with Scientology at all. It was a miracle. The guy didn’t know what I was doing. No explanation. Nothing. It was his specific present time problem because he was a file clerk. You see? Just look at the fellow doing something.

Now, we go into this more deeply and we find out that the only thing we can find that’s really happening in the motor - if we look it over very carefully - that something is imposing space on a couple of terminals. And the terminals could be infinitely tiny. So if they could be infinitely tiny, we’re just left there with imposed space. And we start working with this and we find out that space is being imposed on these two terminals.

Well, you can’t see your preclear, really, very much in his natural habitat. But his natural habitat is the MEST universe and he’s doing something weird in it. You’ve just got to learn how to look. If you learn how to look, you’ll find out what he’s trying to waste, you could remedy that one immediately. It isn’t very hard to do, don’t look so puzzled.

Well, what’s doing this? Well, the base of the motor, of course. I mean just the cast-iron base of this motor is imposing distance between these two things. And then you’ve got something else delivering (quote) “mechanical energy” (unquote) to this motor, but that is doing, again, by making the coil vertical and then horizontal and then vertical and then horizontal, it’s changing it in space. That’s all that’s doing. So even the mechanical energy end of the thing is imposing space upon this motor.

Now, the next thing that I ran into - this has been very general - I haven’t heard a single auditor present, afternoon sessions or evening sessions, asking even vaguely enough "Has there been a perception change?” Not even vaguely enough. I mean, it’s like one little drop of water in the bucket. You know, they kind of dab at this one because I said it was a good thing to do, not because it has any use in auditing. “It’s just, you know, something you do and Ron said so, so we’ll kind of do it. ‘You had a perception change?”’ [said resignedly] I haven’t even heard it like that. Not even that bright.

But, what thing is imposing space on it? Well, the base of the motor. Well, all right. What imposes space on the base of the motor? Well, the concrete that it’s sitting on, of course. Well, what’s imposing space on the concrete? Well, Earth is. Well, what’s imposing space on Earth? Well, the Earth is sitting out here going in an orbit around the Sun and centripetal, centrifugal, gravitic forces are actually keeping it sitting there. If the Earth were to go a little faster, by the way, it’d pull in a little closer or go out a little further from the Sun, it would all depend on how you applied it.

Now, let’s find out if we get a perception change. And let’s find this one out! And I haven’t heard this one asked! “Are you certain it isn’t giving you orders?” [pounding on podium]

You take Mercury for instance, it’s chasing around the Sun at a hell of a rate of speed. It’s going zing-zing-zing-zing-zing. You can almost see Mercury move if you stand there with a pair of field glasses and look at it just right after sunset, when Mercury is just above the Sun, or sunrise, when it’s just a little ahead of the Sun. It’s really on its way, that’s because it’s close in to the Sun.

Why, you know very well that if you take somebody who’s kind of psycho and you take him and you start challenging him like that and say, “Are you really certain of it? No, no, are you really certain of it? No, you wasted that. Are you really certain that you wasted that? Now, are you actually certain that the chair is not giving you orders? Oh, come on, are you really certain of it?”

But gravity and centrifugal force are themselves balanced, here, in order to keep Earth at this position from the Sun. In other words, we have imposed - however it has been done, it’s just simply that Earth has space imposed on it by the solar system. And so we have that space imposed, so again we’ve got imposed space. So now we take the solar system and it has space imposed on it by this galaxy. It’s under all kinds of “inka-fluences” and “aka-fluences.” There’s one star system, for instance, has tremendous gravitic strength here right in this solar system - an adjacent system, the system of Lyra. And there’s a star system that is moving fast toward Earth. And Earth is moving fast in some other directions.

And if you went on like this, you know, naturally, everybody knows you’d shake his certainty. Well, you damn well better had shake his certainty! Now, I won’t mention any names or I won’t look at anybody hard, but I’ve found somebody running Step la without challenging on the subject of certainty, all the time, on a case that obviously needed to be challenged.

By the way, the speeds of all this are quite great. The star system that is moving straight at Earth, by the way, is traveling at twelve and a half miles a second. And, it’ll be a long time getting here.

So we finally came up at the end of the session with at least one certainty: the preclear became certain that he was uncertain. At least he started to realize he was groping. And we got a nothingness of objects on giving orders. And he had a certainty he was not getting orders from a nothingness of objects.

The galaxy has space imposed upon the solar system and the island universes around have space imposed upon them and the MEST universe itself has space imposed upon it and we go on outside of this thing, the first and immediate definition we would get for God was somebody who imposed space.

Now, that’s always one they can get certain on, on orders. You say, “You see that lamp over there? Well, now get a nothingness of that lamp alongside of it. Are you receiving orders from a nothingness of that lamp? All right. Mock-up a dollar bill. Now get a nothingness of the dollar bill underneath the mock-up. Is that nothingness giving you any orders?” And for the first time, the fellow will actually come out to a realization that there is something that doesn’t give him orders - it’s a nothingness.

And we have power itself as the ability to impose space on terminals. And when you define power or define strength or define work as the ability to impose space on two terminals, why, we’re cooking right along there, we’re right on the front burner. Why? It’s mostly because it works out immediately into a tremendous number of interesting data which solve cases and permit exteriorization.

And when they get plowed into agreement with the MEST universe pretty hard, of course, they’re in a terminal interchange with everything. Terminal interchange with the Sun, Moon, stars, Earth and all the objects of the room. They realize, with truth, that the law of the universe says that anything and everything can communicate with them, so naturally everything can give them orders. It can tell them where they are, for one thing. They look at a house, they say, “Well, it isn’t giving me orders. Nope. House isn’t giving me orders. I say that and it sounds all right.”

Now, the funny part about this is, is that matter itself is not a series of particles but a series of condensed spaces. We can perceive the spaces but it’s pretty hard to perceive, as we go along the line here, anything vaguely resembling particles.

About that time you say, “Now, are you sure the house isn’t giving you orders?”

The engineer is up against this right now. He, poor fellow, is batting his brains out trying to find a particle. And every time he finds a particle, he finds a smaller particle. And every time he finds a smaller particle, he finds that, although it has mass, it evidently is doing something else than what he thought it was and so on.

“Well, no, no-umtnmmmmm-no. Well, of course ... No, no it really isn’t giving it...”

The elusive chase of the particles is the effort to find something in a universe where nothing exists. And he’ll go mad. I mean, they never will find the basic particle. This task started back in Greek days and they’re still at it. And you’d think there had been enough smart men back during the last twenty-five hundred years to have at least found the particle, but nobody has.

Oh, to hell with that level of certainty. That’s not a level of certainty at all. That’s what’s wrong with your preclear, he’s not certain. See? Doesn’t know, not certain. Well, let’s find out something he can be certain of. Now, I’ve taken a preclear and made him go over and start kicking the wall. Just actively, actually, kicking the wall and hitting the table with his fist. Make him hit the table with his fist. And then say, “Now, are you certain the table is there?”

Well, you say, “Of course they’ve found a particle, there’s the wall.” Yeah, when you get it up in that mass, that’s good - easy to find, but let’s not try to take the wall apart and find a particle smaller than the wall. Let’s try to find molecules. And as such, you understand, molecules as such, nobody has ever seen them.

And the fellow would think this over for a while, you know, think and think and think. See? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm - well, of course the table’s there. Everybody knows the...”

Here’s chemistry. Chemistry, in its beautiful setup today, has molecules all figured out. Oh boy! They’ve just got them all set. Well, they got them all set all right. But in the science of physics, which is the companion science, they’ve got them all set, too, but quite another pattern.

“Go on. Hit it again. Now are you certain it’s there?”

Physics, working with them to deliver energy from them, and chemistry, working with them to deliver chemical compounds out of them, get entirely different structures of matter. Oh, it’s peculiar, they’re both studying the same thing, aren’t they?

“Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...”

Chemistry goes into copper and takes copper apart and says, “The pattern of the molecules and atoms and so forth in copper are so-and-so.” And they get it all set up and it’s just gorgeously arrayed and they have cute little devices there, with a number of balls sticking in them with rods. And they set - this is a copper molecule or something - and they set that up on the laboratory lecture bench. It’s real cute. It’s completely meaningless It has been meaningless for just years and years and years. It doesn’t even hold water vaguely, even in chemical theory.

“Hit it again. Hit it harder.”

But they set this thing up, it’s a bunch of golf balls strung on sticks and they say, “Well, these things are the molecules and over here are the benzene rings” or something. I don’t care what they say, but here’s this cute device that looks like something Rube Goldberg built, and they say, “This is a molecule of copper, a molecule of ethyl gasoline or something” and oh boy!

So he finally hits it hard enough to bark his knuckles and it’s stinging while he answers you. He’s got to have the impact at the moment to be certain, you see? And it’s stinging while he answers you.

And over in physics, why, they dish up one, they say, “This is a molecule of copper.” Well boy, if you saw these two together, you wouldn’t even suspect they were cousins. The physicist’s picture of a molecule and the chemist’s picture of the same molecule - they’re entirely different pictures. Well, this is cute, but it isn’t getting them anyplace in their effort to find out what is the final particle.

And you say, “Are you certain of that?”

7 What is the basic particle of which the universe is built? Well, every time they try to get a little closer in on this basic particle of what the universe is built of, it becomes very funny indeed, because they just find out a more basic particle. And they find more component parts involved and they just keep going down.

“Yes,” he’ll say, “I’m certain of that.”

Well, they go down in exact ratio to the power of their microscopes. They don’t go down any further than that. Every time they get a new microscope, they say, “This is it.” And then they find out that they didn’t have the tubes turned on or something and they have to change their minds. Well, all this adds a great deal of confusion to chemics and physics, but it doesn’t add any to us. It added a lot to us for a long time.

“Now, hit it again.”

If we can consider matter as consecutive spaces, why, we’re in a pretty happy state. Because we consider, in its most powerful factor, a piece of matter is as powerful as it can be made to expand its spaces.

“My hand’s getting sore.”

Now, let’s take plutonium. Boy, I tell you, plutonium really can expand its spaces. It makes an atom bomb. And those particles go out in so many different directions and make so many new spaces and so on, that there’s a hell of a bang and a crash and a thud and here we go! See, I mean... But that’s condensed way down. Now, here’s your condensed space.

“I don’t care if your hand’s getting sore. Hit it again.”

Now, i£ a fellow is doing this exercise right, of having eight anchor points out and drawing them together, he’s actually condensing space. Well, right up to this point, I haven’t told you anything that you need to even vaguely consider. Except this: that power, strength and force derives from the ability to impose or delete space from terminals. If you consider it in that light, why, by golly, you’re there. You’re all right.

“Well. .. Why?”

A preclear has no power. All right. He can’t impose space between terminals, that’s all. He can’t reduce it or increase it. A fellow can’t communicate. Well, a communication line is of finite length, from C to E. And if he can’t increase or decrease the lines, why, about the best he’ll be able to do is sit on a fixed distance line. A fixed distance line. That is to say, the fellow can go through a very routine conversation. You know, he uses your voice and his body and his voice and your body and the MEST universe keeps the space imposed. And he’s been taught all the symbols and one day he wonders why he can’t get any justice in this universe. Well, he can’t get any justice in the universe for the excellent reason he hasn’t got any power.

“Well, hit it without any reason at all.”

What’s he depending on? He’s depending for his communication lines and his imposition of space and so forth - a great dependency just on the MEST universe. In other words, the MEST universe has been set up over there to a total automaticity and he has no power left. He can’t impose space or delete space from between two terminals.

“Well, I couldn’t do that.”

Now, you’ll find his interpersonal relations going in this fashion: somebody goes away from him and he can’t get them back, somebody comes up close to him and he can’t get them away. Let’s just look at the interpersonal relations, see? And such a person thinks other people, who might be in a better state, would mind his being close to them or far from them and so forth. The state of knowingness bridges all distances. And a person who can impose space or take space out from between two terminals can handle distance ably.

You’ll run into that very often right about that point. You finally make him hit it with no reason. And then he finally starts getting antagonistic towards you.

So let’s get the idea of a preclear being a problem in terminals and the terminal is simply a point, whether it has great mass or little mass. If a terminal has enormous mass, it’ll keep letting off spaces against another terminal - he’ll get a trickle - a current flow. That’s what a battery is. The battery in your car and so forth, is just a couple of masses with space between them and you get a trickle of letting off spaces. You know, the pieces of space disappear. You actually get a little bit further distance between the two terminals and you get an electrical current.

“Well, of course I’m certain it’s there! What do you mean? Naturally, I’m certain it’s there. Well, I hit it, didn’t I? Of course the table is there.”

All right. Your preclear says, “I have no power.” Well, you immediately look at this as a problem in particles, flows. It’s not a problem in particles or flows, it’s a problem in spaces. All these things are problems in spaces.

“Good. Hit it again.”

Now, what’s a mass?

“Oo-ooooo-hhhh! All right.”

A mass is a whole bunch of condensed spaces. Let’s just define it as that, and we’ve got it. A mass is a bunch of condensed spaces.

And that’s just about the way it goes.

Why does a mass let off power? Why can you set up two masses, one next to the other, and get a trickle of electricity between them? Well, they let off spaces. Somebody had to impose the space on them to let the space off of them. Well, your preclear thinks he can go around and find masses of stuff which will do this. And there’s your electronics man - he’s always prospecting around trying to find some new substance that will let off these spaces so that he can get a better current between two things. He seldom succeeds beyond a certain limit.

“Now are you certain that you hit the table?”

Well, this has to do with processing, it has to do with preclears and it has to do with them very intimately. An individual who has begun to depend for his power upon existing masses - he conceives masses to be existing and he depends for his power upon these masses - will immediately suffer from a tremendous loss of power with any loss of mass. Now, you follow me?

“Yes, I am certain that I hit the table.” [said disdainfully]

Let’s take terminals and we find out that two big terminals will let off quite a lot of space, which is to say, generate quite a current. Two smaller terminals will still generate a current. All right. We take these big terminals and it’s interchanging spaces with other things and - these big masses - and all of a sudden we put a little terminal near it. Well, that big terminal is going to take all of the spaces off the little terminal in an awful hurry. You can see this. Here you have this huge magnet and this little tiny magnet and we get this little tiny magnet close to this huge magnet. And if we could actually observe with a fine enough microscope, we would see that pieces of space, in other words, energy or mass, is leaving that little terminal like mad. Oh, it leaves it just at a mad rate. It would actually disappear in a very short space of time.

Coming up in tone. Coming up in tone. You gave the guy a certainty.

So we take these two masses, we put them near each other and the small one suffers. You follow this? This is quite important. Because you take a preclear and exteriorize him from the body and what energy he’s still hanging on to will suddenly depart from him and go back to the bigger mass, the body, at which you get a tremendous feeling of lack of power on the preclears who won’t exteriorize easily. So they feel degraded. And that in itself is degradation. And that’s all degradation is. Degradation consists of being separated from a larger mass.

Now, we had a pc who had drifted along on subjective-type auditing - you know, get mock-ups, do this, do that, nyar-nyar-nyar, and on and on and on and get mock-ups and do stuff like that. And oh, his case is fine and his auditing worked fine, case worked fine, everything worked fine. Everything worked fine - except there was no communication changes of any kind occurring in the case after about eight hours of auditing.

Now, I want to go over that again: degradation consists of being separated from a larger mass. Now, I want to go over it again: self-pride and self-respect diminish when one is separated from a larger mass. Now, I’ll go over that again: power, energy and so forth diminishes when separated from a larger mass. Now, let’s take a toothpick and pull it out of the orange. You don’t get an immediate observable electrical potential, but we’ll use it as an example. We take the toothpick out of the orange. When we take the toothpick out of the orange, it would be the toothpick that suffered. The toothpick would feel it had been degraded. It’d feel it had been pulled out. Now, that’s not a problem in electronics.

So we took this pc and we had him kicking the walls and pounding the tables and banging the floor and going outside and hitting his head against trees and so forth, for over an hour. Just this: “Kick it again. Now, you certain it’s there? Oh, you have some doubt in your mind. Well...”

So, let’s take a real problem in electronics. Let’s take a huge magnet and then let’s take a soft, spongy piece of iron and let’s hold this tiny little piece of iron at a short distance from the magnet. Now, if we impose the space on it and we leave it there for actually just a few days, the iron will have vanished out of the little iron - it won’t be there anymore. This is a laboratory experiment if you care to perform it sometime when you’re around a physics lab. It has to be a very soft piece of iron, it has to be a great big magnet. And so the little piece of iron disappears. Well, that little piece of iron, you could say, was degraded - it had lost its self-respect.

“I didn’t say I had a doubt in my mind!”

Now, you want to know the deep significance of the preclear who goes around and says, “I have been degraded. I feel guilty. I have done wrong. I don’t know quite what’s wrong with me, I don’t have the force and power to go on. I don’t have the energy to do any work.”

“Well, kick it again.”

All these things all add up to - you know what all these things add up to? The deep, deep, deep significance of them is a small mass has been taken away from a large mass too many times. If you’ve got that, I’m saying this very slowly and going over it, because honest, honest, if you’ve got that, you’ve got what’s wrong with the preclear in terms of energy and space. And he immediately conceives himself not to know because he didn’t predict it.

And this guy, halfway through that session, was just about going crazy.

You know, the only way a fellow proves he doesn’t know is to find out he didn’t predict something right. In other words, he’s wrong. So all of a sudden he exteriorizes and he says, “Gee. I really want to get out of this mass” and then the second he’s out of this mass, he feels immediately degraded. Well, he’s wrong of course, isn’t he?

But what do you know? He finished up an hour and a half or something like that later and, he, for the first time, kicked a wall and was certain he’d kicked it. And the rest of the time he was just being mad about it.

Now, the preclear who has bought total agreement with the MEST universe, or near it, with great dependency upon the MEST universe, gets into terms of having to have mass in order to have respect. That’s because he’s depending on already made or already discovered terminals for his energy. You know, like you come along and you grab a body. The reason you grab a body is because you know you can’t put out enough energy and pack it in tight enough and mold it around in order to make an observable body. You know you can’t do that, so you grab on to this other terminal. Now, you start to exteriorize from it. Well, you’re just a smaller mass because, believe me, a thetan has mass. In his best state, he doesn’t have any mass, but he has mass only because he’s hanging on to some old grips and some old license plates and a couple of gimmicks. My golly, he looks like an attic on the move, if you were to let him take all of his junk.

And his case, from that moment on, soared and his communication changes came in quite rapidly. Of course his auditor, after that, never did fail to nag him.

Well, now these larger masses, around, rob him of everything he has. Now, everything in this universe is discharging to some degree against everything else in this universe, that’s the extreme condition. The Sun, by the way, most observably, is discharging at the rest of the galaxy. Very observably, the Sun is discharging at Earth, isn’t it? Well, that’s a fission problem, a problem in fission. You’d say offhand, the Sun was reducing in mass. Well, I don’t know that it’s reducing in mass anywhere near to the degree that it’s increasing in mass. If you haven’t been up on the Sun and sat in one of its plumes or looked at one of its spots - а good thing to do sometime is go up and sit just opposite one of its spots and watch it for a while.

“Have you gotten a communication change?”

And you’ll find out that anybody’s worry about the Sun going out is not well founded. Suns go out when they’re so big that their electrons can’t escape from them - you know, they can’t radiate - they can’t get rid of anything and they get into a dull red glow. Their alpha particles can’t get out of their own gravitic field, in other words. They can’t discharge. A healthy Sun will keep on burning practically forever because it’s being continually fed new mass in the terms of meteorites and so forth. Dust gets loose from the asteroid belt and where do you think it goes? You don’t think it is all outbound just because the Sun shines out. No sir, it drifts along and drifts along and, all of a sudden, it slows a little bit down in speed and it slows more down in speed and it goes into a sort of a vortex motion and it comes in eventually and goes into the Sun.

“Oh, the room is duller now.”

Now, the Moon, sitting up there without much friction around it, is hit by thirty thousand meteors a day. Well, it’s a big bunch of meteors. You can always send a preclear up there and have him find a landing meteor - thirty thousand a day, well heck, he can just take one slight glance around and he’ll find a meteor landing. And you can put him in front of these things as they come in toward the Moon and he’ll be very upset because you’ve put him right in front of something that’s going to hit him. And then you just have him pass through it and he finds out for the first time nothing can hit him.

“Okay. Yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap. All right. Now how do things look to you? Mm-hm. Mm-hm.”

But as long as he thinks he has mass, as long as he’s sold on the idea that his dynamic power, and anything else he has as power, is something he gets by reason of discharging against havingness - some other havingness - you know, he has to have something to discharge against some other something. As long as he believes that, you have a problem of terminals. And as long as you have a problem of terminals with your preclear, why, he won’t exteriorize easily. Because he tries to take all his junk along with him. The reason he tries to take the junk along with him is because he knows he can’t make any more.

And of course, “Well, they’re a little brighter now.”

When he knows he can’t create, then he has to have. Havingness sets in when creation goes out. And you get the story of the painter.

“Now, how do things look to you now?”

A fellow will start in, painting. He keeps making paintings and he doesn’t give any of them away. Now, by the way, if he would just take some of his favorite paintings and go out to some distance and just bust them all to hell and throw them in a fire, you know, and go back again, you know he’d start painting again. Just let him get rid of some of that “paintingness mass” and he’d feel much better. As a matter of fact, he’d start to create.

“Well, as a matter of fact they’re going black.”

Now, the writer who begins to collect his books - the most fatal thing for a writer to do - he begins to collect all of his written works. And he gets them piled up around the place and, by golly, the more he gets there, why, the less he puts out.

“Yap-yap-yap-yap-yap”-some more auditing, this and that.

Even though they’ve been published, you see, they’ve apparently still come back, he still actually hasn’t gotten rid of them. And the fellow who keeps filling a trunk full of manuscripts - he’s the fellow who really gets discouraged, because you don’t even get the motion of something going out and coming back in, in the form of a printed work. It just goes out and comes back as itself. In other words, he can’t get rid of it. So he can’t shine. Shiningness is, in essence, getting rid of something, throwing it away. Shiningness. How do you shine? Well, throw things away.

“Now how do things look to you?”

Now, people get inverted on this, finally, and they decide the reason they aren’t succeeding very well is because they’ve given too many things away or they’ve “given too much of themselves.” I’ve heard this expression used more and more times in the Middle West, for instance, they’ve “given too much of themselves” and so forth. Now, if they’re in bad shape, they didn’t give enough. That’s the only thing wrong with them. They didn’t do enough work, they didn’t help enough people, they didn’t get out and plow enough furrows - that’s all that’s wrong with them. And when they got their bushelbasket loads of grain and put them in silos and so forth, they didn’t take enough down to the local church or they didn’t throw enough out in the road, as a matter of fact. They ate it all. That’s quite silly, you know, that’s bringing it home again.

“Well, they’re all the way black now. You’ve turned my sight off!”

All these data compare. The only reason I’m throwing them into human experience for you, there, is just - this is a problem in shiningness. You want your preclear to shine and create. Well, he won’t create if he gets a certain mass which inhibits his putting things away from him.

“Well, now how do things look to you now?”

All right. So, we have a problem in masses and terminals. That’s why “wasting” is such a terrifically effective technique. You know, you could sit around, here - a lot of these “all techniques” - you can’t, of course, run a subjective technique forever without plowing somebody down.

“Black, of course, what do you expect?”

The truth of the matter is, however, if you merely had a fellow waste masses, if you can get him actually to waste masses, build it up on a gradient scale and get him to waste more and more masses, just waste them (not particularly accept them or anything else, just waste them), just take one side of that bracket, why, you’d finally change his mind about being able to shine.

And then, of course, you just go on, because what you’re doing is giving him a communication change. Well, don’t, don’t give up a willing horse. Ride it to death! Kill it. See, just kill the technique. Just ruin it. Just keep right on going. Because from that point on, you’re hitting the duplication. If you’re getting a perception change, you must be hitting close to the immediate problem of the thetan. Because things are flicking on and off, you see? So just ride that one to death. Because you’ll also run out some boredom in the process, because later on, it all of a sudden will stop changing. You won’t get a communication change on it anymore. Things will just be mediumly bright.

Now, one of the things a preclear will do - if you have a preclear try to throw something away from him, if it comes back, boy, is he having mass trouble. See, have him mock-up a baseball and pitch it out. And the baseball comes back at him, in mock-up, he’s having mass trouble. He’s having havingness trouble. He can’t get rid of something and he can’t create. So creation comes down as the best index of a preclear or a thetan’s power - his ability to create.

They might have gotten awfully flary bright, you know? Or the world might have gone totally gold or totally green or something like this. But now it’s gotten back to just a medium of brighter than usual. And it doesn’t change. Well, you’ve hit him on a new stability, so then you leave it alone. When it’s remained on a new stability for a few minutes, no change, then we go on to something else.

Now, people come around him and they grab things that he has created. You know, he’ll create a mock-up and before he even gets a chance to inspect it, something else will grab it. And he’ll give it a yank back. And he starts up his first entrance into flows.

You want to say, “When do we use the next technique?” Well, I’ll tell you when you abandon a technique: it’s when it doesn’t give you a communication change immediately. And I’ll tell you when you pick up the new technique: when the old one hasn’t given you a communication change. And I'll tell you how long to carry on a technique: as long as it can give communication changes. And that’s about the end to it.

Somebody tries to take something away from him and he tries to pull it back. Well, this results in his mounding himself up like one of the Indian mounds full of junk. See, he eventually accumulates mass there. Makes one wonder if Earth or something like that isn’t basically a thetan who is accumulating mass. That isn’t really the way it’s done however, I mean, it’s an analogy. Actually, these planets get built and built just as thoroughly as you could build a mud pie. Somebody goes out and he throws a terrific number of particles into space, then he collects a lot of little small particles together and gets it to be a cumulative mass. And then he won’t let this mass expand, he holds it together and then he pitches it into the other mass of particles and they’ll condense hard enough to make a Sun that shines. Sometimes they overestimate it and throw too many particles out and then you get a Sun which goes dull red. That’s a failure. And then the thetan figures he doesn’t have enough power to cut that mass of the Sun in half and make two other suns out of it. I don’t know why he figures this, figures he has to do it with other masses. I know I’ve sort of exceeded your limit of credulity right then, but the sun builders, they make new galaxies. There are dead galaxies out there, real dead. Well, of course, that’s the field of Para-Scientology, we won’t worry about it. Anyway...

And if you don’t nag people, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag - “Have you got a perception shift on that?”

When we get a problem in exteriorization, we have a problem in masses. That’s all we’ve got a problem in. When we get a problem of no self-respect, we’ve got a problem in the fellow having been exteriorized from too large a mass too suddenly. When we get a fellow who’s too thin, we got a fellow who’s been exteriorized from a large mass too suddenly. You know, he can’t have.

Of course he’ll say, “No, I haven’t got any perception shift.”

Now, you wonder what’s wrong with the college kids. The dirtiest trick is played upon a college person - the dirtiest trick! In their adult years actually - you understand that in Rome, a boy was fourteen, he became a proconsul and he got married when he was sixteen. And here we simply suppress sex and everything until the guy is twenty-nine or fifty-two or eighty-nine or something, it’s getting longer and longer. That’s because there’s a greater and greater scarcity of bodies, I suppose.

“Come on. Have you got any perception shift at all?”

Well now, as we look over this problem, if college - just as an example, here we have this kid: he goes to college for a long time, he studies, he’s got these closed spaces. In other words, that gives him mass all right, closed classrooms and so on. And after he’s been at it for a few years - he’s already gone to school, I think, something on the order of about twelve years in his more basic schools - now all of a sudden he’s in college and he’s got four more years to go. By this time, he’s studying engineering (he’s thirty-five or thirty-six), [laughter] but anyway, all joking aside, the boy is there in his adult years.

“Oh well, I got this - roaring headache has come in on me again, but I haven’t had any perception shift.”

The society is goofy on the subject of trying to make a teenager into a child. The teenager - for instance, such operations as Booth Tarkington’s Seventeen - there’s a book there. That’s real vicious, that’s real mean. Because in the first place, the reason the guy is like that is because he’s been disenfranchised of his first manhood. His first manhood sets in, actually, at about fourteen-thirteen, fourteen.

Oh, he has “perception must be exclusively looking.” The truth of the matter is perception is the entire scale which goes from Know, Look, Emote, Feel, Effort, more or less - most people define . .. You say, “How do things feel?” They define it as Effort, not Emotion, Thinkingness, Symbols and so forth.

He starts to get a grip on life - that’s past the age of puberty usually - and he’s looking around, he’s trying to establish himself and his family keeps holding on to him. And he’s unable to get away from his family. And they’ve even got the laws in the United States fixed so a child can’t work, he can’t support himself. And he’s got to stay there. In other words, they won’t let that boy shine - even though they call him a “son.” [laughter] And he’s stuck.

He’s got a lot of new ideas. That actually is a communication change, only you wouldn’t think of it very much. He’s got a whole lot of new ideas while you were doing this. Well, fine. That’s communication change.

Now, a child is prevented from working until he’s some, oh, my golly, he’s an antique before he can work in the United States. He’s just an antique. He’s practically rheumatic and got lumbago before they finally turn him loose. The age I think is - I don’t know, they have to be careful at sixteen, seventeen - I think it’s about eighteen before they can really start to work.

Only you say, if your technique is really doing a lot of good, you’re actually getting perception changes in lookingness or knowingness changes.

Note: This lecture is continued on the next disc.

Such as he says, “I know now - I had some doubt about it before, but I know now absolutely that I am the King of Siam.” You’ve got, in essence, a perception change. A knowingness change is always senior to a perception change.

Lecture 10 (continued)

Fellow all of a sudden says', “You know, I can control this body.” That’s a big change. That’s a real good one, see?

Disc 11

You can take the whole band. He got somatics coming in and out and so forth. Listen to this - the somatic band is not reliable from this standpoint: a person can play tag with a somatic which comes in and out, in and out, in and out, in and out, and because it’s so low on the Lookingness Scale - or the Knowingness Scale, we’ll call it - so low on the

Well, the cultural level of the society is good, because there have been a lot of good entrepreneurs, and this is newly - just a very short time ago was a pioneer society. But here’s this boy, in other words, he can’t exteriorize from the family. See, he can’t move out of that mass when he wants to. Because it’s sort of automatically set up with the GE that the child exteriorizes in the early teens. He can’t move out of that mass and he goes enforcedly into the next mass and, of course, because of the DEI cycle, why, he begins to think he desires it. You know, he thinks he wants to stay around and he thinks he wants to be in school or something of the sort.

Knowingness Scale that almost any technique you use will flip this somatic in and out. Well, you better go upstairs someplace to where it flips his sight on and off. Get the idea? It’s a senior problem - senior proposition.

Then all of a sudden, he’s made all of these friends, you see, and he’s had all these massive stadiums and football buildings and other athletic activities and he’s even been in a class or two and, suddenly, he leaves his gang, he leaves the mass of buildings, he leaves the alma mater. He sits around and wonders what the hell has happened to him.

Now, Knowingness goes into Lookingness, Lookingness goes into Emotion, Emotion goes into Effort, Effort goes into Thinkingness, Thinkingness goes into Symbols and Symbol goes into Applause and Attention Scale, all the way on down at the bottom. And if you will add Eating and then, below that, Sex at the lower end of the scale, you’ve got it. "Sure he will never get any applause at all” - well, actually, Eating and Sex are both above that. In the lowest end of the scale, “just certain you’ll never have any applause of any kind,” well, you go just above that and put Sex and just above Sex put Eating and you’ve got the complete scale.

You see, he couldn’t leave his family when he was supposed to and follow the cycle and he couldn’t leave school early and he finally gets to the point of where he’s got to make the best of it and then he decides that he more or less wants it. This is enforced havingness, you see? And then, all of a sudden, arbitrary time factor comes along and boots him out of this whole mass of masonry and the family and everything else. And they say, “Now, you’re educated. You’re grown up now. Now be on your way” - after years and years and years of educating him to believe that he’s a boy. There’s no truth involved in this. You can tell a five-year-old child he’s grown up and he’ll start acting like a grown-up. You think he’s worse off because of this? No, he’s not.

So that is a perception - type scale and it goes down into the Applause Scale. So we don’t care anything much about the lower end of the scale because it’s too beefy, it’s too MESTy. And we’re changing it on the GE, rather than changing the thetan. And that’s the other reason why you don’t pay too much attention to somatics.

So we exteriorize him suddenly, then, from family, masonry, everything, we tell him he’s got to go out and have a job, all of his friends are gone, all of a sudden, the guy goes blah. He doesn’t know what’s happened to him. Here he is. And that’s a problem in terminals. It’s the only reason I brought it up, see? He is a small terminal and he separates from this big massive terminal and his self-respect goes.

Okay. Now, the other thing I have observed very much is that the auditors are not using the basic information with which we are dealing. Now, that to some degree is to be expected. But it didn’t occur to one auditor this morning, just didn’t occur to him - by the way, this auditor was really doing a real sloppy job, right at first there, because he was running subjective processing on somebody who had very - who was shifting. And these mock-ups and so forth, shifting. No handle on them, you know? Change, change, change, change, shift, shift - the mock-ups were shifting. He was running in quite a bit of automaticity and it didn’t occur to him we’d better nail this automaticity by doing something else. We can’t stay on this basis, let’s get some Opening Procedure in some fashion or another that’ll work.

Well now, a person only starts accumulating mass when it’s forced upon him. He only starts desiring mass when it’s forced upon him, actually. He’d just as soon make mock-ups and make things and throw them away. Oh, he’d go on doing this on and on and on, be perfectly happy with it. He doesn’t wear out. It’s when he makes something and it’s smashed back at him, then he thinks he wants it. Why? Because he can’t get rid of it, so he adjusts his mind to having it.

So the auditor started Opening Procedure and then he wasn’t making too much advance with it (not the kind of advance he should have made) and we had to add immediately - all we did was add, into Opening Procedure, Be, Have and Do. Now, how would you like that? I mean, just - just nothing to that. That’s the simplest thing in the world - Be, Have and Do. “Move out of that space.” Now, we’re running here this morning “Move yourself out of the space. Now throw yourself out of the space.” Of course, that’s doingness. You’ve got position, plus doingness, see?

Well, you look down the life of a preclear - now we’re talking in assessment - and you look down the life of the preclear and find out what heavy masses he has lost. And we’ll find out that those are the moments of degradation.

“Now move over to that space and be a cow.” Now, that is position plus beingness. See? A variation of the technique, by just adding something. “Now move over to that space and act like a cow.” All right. That would be position plus doingness. See, Opening Procedure plus doingness.

I well remember a preclear I processed who had been a pilot in the war. One of these fairly heavy, big night fighters, you know, they’re very massive, they’re, you might say, almost a pursuit plane, but there’s a terrific amount of mass connected with one of these things. And boy, that guy had been disenfranchised of that piece of machinery and mass and his squadron and the US Army Air Forces and the works, all in the space of a couple of seconds. A Messerschmitt practically shot him out of the sky and he bailed out instantly on a “don’t - knowingness” - you know, he didn’t quite know how he got out of that plane. And he landed and found himself in an enemy hospital and they took good care of him. And ever since, he’d felt degraded and upset.

“Now, go over in that space and have it. Own it.” See, and that would be putting havingness in on top of that space. Which makes a very powerful process out of Opening Procedure. And I’m going to start opening your eyes to the power that lies in Opening Procedure, because it is powerful. It’s laid out in the little, light innocent fashion it is in a Congress Form, simply because it takes some training to put the thing across, so we put it into a simple form.

Now, we can go into the values of overt act-motivator sequence. Well, he probably shot down somebody just before he was shot down. We could get it at that, you see, and you could figure it out that way and get some resolution on the case and he’d feel better. Or we could run it on he just didn’t know how he got out of the airplane. We could run that and we could fix it so he didn’t care whether he knew how he got out of the airplane or not or we could actually run the engram and get him out of the airplane. Well, there would be that one, there would be that mass.

Now, it isn’t as simple as you’ve been working it. Because you add to it, Be, Have and Do. And you get all sorts of things. You can run out any automatic machine that is keeping the person pinned in his body with that Opening Procedure, just by adding Be, Have and Do to it.

Now, we could run his childhood about times when he was chastised about breaking window glasses or something and we could probably get some more rather obtuse significance and so forth out of that. In other words, we could run this in numerous ways and we can get some alleviation on the case so the fellow could still mote. We could solve some family problems. We could solve almost anything and get an improvement on the case.

“Now, be in this space and have a body.” “Now move back here and don’t have one.” “Move his body back there and don’t have one.”

But what is the most basic thing wrong with the case? The most basic thing wrong 4 would be that this individual has been educated by having mass enforced upon him. He’s been made to believe that he wanted mass and that he depended upon mass for his power. Now, that’s happened somewhere on the track. And the next point is, is where did he lose the biggest bunch of mass, the quickest? Because that would be a sudden exteriorization and the suddenness of it would take the most away from him. See?

“Now move up here and have a body.” “Now move back here and don’t have one.” “Now move up here and act like a body.” “Now move back here and act like a thetan.”

Now, loss of mass is proportional to the time in which it is lost. Now, you can lose a little tiny bit of mass awfully fast, you know, and it will assume the proportions of having lost a big mass slowly. We won’t go into the deep significance of this, but you could add this up, actually, and it’s just a problem in losses of spaces. How fast can you lose spaces?

The guy says, “Oh, how the hell does a thetan act?”

Well, all of our preclears with whom we have any trouble have, one, been sold on the idea that they had to have. Things have been pushed back at them enough so that they feel they have to have. Now, that to some degree, that’s solved by solving the automaticity of it. You know, fixing himself up so he’ll want things. “I want to want things” is the automaticity. He solves this.

And you say, “That’s your problem, Mr. Anthony.”

Well, the other point that we can make with relationship to this, is a very simple one right along with that and that is, is where did he lose his most mass? Where did most mass disappear? Now, that would be solved by any technique which exteriorized him from mass and got him over the idea that exteriorization from mass was degrading. And I ran the sample technique on you yesterday.

Now, we find out that he’s doing something automatic. The second that he touches something he looks at it fixedly. And he looks at it fixedly every time. You’ll find him doing repeating things. Well, every time you see him do a repetitive thing - now make him do it as a repetitive thing and make them realize they’re doing a repetitive thing and you’ll key-out some sort of automaticity. For instance, they go over and they touch something and immediately let go. So you just have them touch it and let go and touch it and let go. Now make the postulate that they’re going to touch it. Now make the postulate they’re going to let it go, so on.

Now, you can make a person exteriorize from anything. You can do it by Creative Processing. You can exteriorize him and push him back into things. Let’s exteriorize him from the family and push him back in. Exteriorize him, push him back in.

Instead of getting this automatic, they go over and touch the point, see, and then they let go. It’s kind of hot. You can just sort of read on the fellow that the point is not too cool.

Now, how do you do this? You mock-up a dot of light - remember he’s not a body, he’s a dot of light, if anything - and you exteriorize this from any mass he’s been connected with on any dynamic. And you run the cycle so as to put him in charge of this, because it’s all added up to an automaticity. In such a way, you could exteriorize him just loosely and limitedly from his past.

And when they show up hot like that or when they show up cold, the fellow stands over there and he keeps his finger on the point just endlessly, see? Oh boy, is he obedient. He keeps his finger on the point. You can talk about something else, you can let your subject drift off in some direction, you’ll find he’s still standing there with his finger on the point.

If a person has his past thrown up at him often enough, he will begin to believe, after a while, that he wants his past. And then after that, why, he’ll try to hold on to his past and he’ll invent various means, such as the manufacture of facsimiles, in order to have his past.

Well, that’s okay. You can almost count on that person being army trained, by the way. Somewhere on the track, anyway. Fantastic.

All right. So you could just loosely have him put a mass out there and say, “This is the past.” “All right.” Now have a dot of light come out of it.” “Now have the dot of light feel degraded.” “Now push the dot of light back in on it again or push the mass at the dot of light until it engulfs it.”

But you look at anything like this and as he’s doing it, you just make him run out his automaticity. Now, here’s an example of it, just giving you fresh examples that have just shown up here in the last forty-eight hours. A girl trying to yawn. During the Congress - here’s observation piling up - during the Congress and here in Group Processing and so forth, this girl has been trying to yawn every now and then. And just never quite make the grade, see?

Now, any kind o£ a process would work. You’d say, “Put out your past out there.” “Now exteriorize yourself out of it as a dot of light” “Now have somebody come along and push your past around you.” "Now exteriorize you from your past.” “Now have somebody push the past around you.” “Now exteriorize from your past and have somebody push your past around you again.”

Now, you’ve known a lot of preclears that just couldn’t quite make the grade on yawning. Now, how would we work this out really, fully - we didn’t this morning, but - we’d worked it out pretty well, but we didn’t work it out fully by Opening Procedure.

And boy, you would get the most - you will get the most interestingly degraded feelings on the part of the preclear. You’ll get contempt and degradation and lack of self-respect and everything.

Now, you would have worked it out by Opening Procedure this way - which we could also call Body Positioning Procedure. We would have had her start to yawn, as herself, make a postulate she was going to yawn, have her start to yawn, then have her move around and face the spot she’d just been in and make a postulate not to yawn. And then back and forth and back and forth. Make her start to yawn, then not to yawn. And start to yawn and not to yawn. And start to yawn and not to yawn. The next thing you know, she would be able to tell herself to yawn and she’d yawn. And she wouldn’t stop herself yawning.

Now, you can take your childhood home, exteriorize him from the childhood home, then have somebody push the childhood home around him again. Or you can just have him pushed back into the childhood home. Any kind of a combination of separating terminals, in other words, solves this. And you just do it in terms of mock-up and you’ll rehabilitate the person’s belief in his ability to actually get away from a mass and stay away from it.

Then when she gets out a good, healthy yawn, have her stop it midway through, showing that she can stop yawning. You see, you validate the person’s postulate. You just don’t try to knock them flat and say, “Look, these postulates you’re using, you shouldn’t use them, because they’ll be terribly detrimental to you,” something like that.

Now, there are very, very low - level techniques on this. You make the individual (these are long techniques), you make the individual take his body out of something and then have him decide that he needs it and get back into it—like a room, a car, a theater, anything. You could run this, really, still in the body, dramatizing it. Make him dramatize it until the automaticity is keyed-out. But you’d only do this on somebody who couldn’t even vaguely get the elementary engram of exteriorization of a dot of light. The fellow can’t get a dot of light. Well, that case is pretty bad off if he can’t get a little dot of light of one kind or another. Well, you see how that would work? Hm?

All right. Now our problem, then, in using all these techniques, is to use them in the 7 light of what we’re assigning a high - echelon position. Opening Procedure is a direct body or thetan - you can use it just as well with a thetan, you know, and exteriorize the fellow and then have him use Opening Procedure. And that’s why it’s in there - Step Ia. It’s a drill on a thetan, not an exteriorization technique. Not to really be used on the body, but it’ll just bust cases like mad if used on the body, so let’s just relax and use it on the body.

Okay. And any point of degradation in an individual’s life had - it was attended with the loss of mass. One of the many solutions to this problem is to have him get the idea of the mass and then have him stick himself out of it. And then have the mass shoved back around him again. And then have him out of it again. And then have it shoved around him and so forth. Or have him out of it and back into it. Then you could key-out the basic automaticities.

Now, we start running this with what we’re assigning at our highest common denominator of material. And we assign various values to this material, but the top - echelon material is a value - evaluation is assigned to communication and as it applies to cause and effect. But that, of course, is next to the Prelogics, which are positioning themselves.

Of course, this follows that one of the most basic and intimate things that he’s had shoved back at him an awful lot of times has been a body. And as a consequence, why, he can’t exteriorize easily. The basic reason for this is that he feels that he has to have. If he has to have, why, he thinks havingness will bring him happiness. And just because the words sound alike is no reason there’s any truth in it.

“Now be over to this space and create a new space” is one of the ways you’d handle a thetan. “Go over to this space. Now create a new space” and do all sorts of things. “Go over to that space and find something you really can have,” you’d say to this thetan.

You want your preclear to be able to develop energy and to create. His total power, his ability to hold his automatic machinery in place, his ability to pick up comm speed, his ability to do any of these things that you want him to do depends basically upon his ability to create - to create energy. If he can create space and create energy, why, he can do all sorts of things. He can do anything, if he can do these two things.

“All right, now let’s look around the whole town” - we’ve got him exteriorized - all right, and “Let’s look around the whole town of Phoenix here and find something you can have.”

Now, remember while you’re running this, that he’s also been fixed in mass. And this lops over into granting of beingness. Every time he’s granted beingness to something, he’s actually fixed some of his own beingness in a piece of mass. He’s personalized a doll, he’s personalized possessions and so forth. He has interiorized and fixed something and it gets to be a stuck flow. He wants an ID in something.

And you’d be amazed. This fellow has just been exteriorized, he’s feeling kind of degraded and kind of low, but he’s doing all right. He’s happy to be out, he’s glad he’s met that goal and - a little bit scrambled on the thing. Well, he’s just lost some havingness. So you run him, Be, Have and Do. And incidentally, communication.

So therefore, the creation of symbols, continuous creation of symbols, the granting of beingness to symbols and so forth, will eventually wind up where the individual feels that he wants symbols, has to have them and, therefore, he can’t exteriorize from them.

So you say to him, “Now look around and see what you can really have around here - anywhere around here. What can you really have?”

Have somebody mock-up the English language some time and have it pushed up and down the road. You know, move it around as a total postulate - the English language. Have him move it around with bulldozers and trucks and then have him slop it around with a feather. Then you get a total adequate process. It’ll key-out all those symbols. Have him move the body around and so forth is another process. But this exteriorization and interiorization is very good.

He’ll look over the town of Phoenix, he’ll be surprised! The fellow will look around - “Not that and not that and not that Well... Not that. Let’s see, uh, ummmmmmm...”

Now, let’s take it on the dynamics. The First Dynamic, that’s rather easy. Have him exteriorize from a body. Second Dynamic, that isn’t quite so easy. But a very well - indicated process: you have him exteriorize from members of his own and opposite sex.

You say, “All right. Name some things you can’t have.”

Now, let’s take up very unique little problems on this. Let’s take up a problem of a ~J man and a woman. Let’s take up the problem of a man and a woman. Now, here’s a man. The injection of semen into the woman brings him into a position of granting beingness continually or putting life and so forth into the body of the woman. All right. We run this as an exteriorization from the body of the woman. You know, exteriorize him from the body of the women - his marital partners and sexual partners. Or an exteriorization from masses of semen. We get a considerable change of case. That’s all, you just nail this down. Now, it would solve such things as masturbation and so forth.

“Oh, that’s easy. The whole town and the countryside” and big generalities and so forth. Well, you just work him on “can’t have” for a while.

Now, what is the score with a woman on this? Well, it’s essentially the same problem, so we have to do this in brackets. And if you always exteriorize somebody - you know, have him run this little dot of light coming out of things, in brackets, why, we’ll just gunshot the whole works on the thing. Have her exteriorize men from her, have her exteriorize herself from men and go right around.

And then you’d say, “Well, what can you really have around here now?”

Now, the problem of mass is just the problem of mass. And we realize that a body is a body, because everybody fiendishly is trying to suppress it from exuding anything.

And now he finds something new he can have. Because actually, every one of those steps can be worked as - and should sooner or later be worked as - а dichotomy.

Now, the problem with a body and the reason it is a body is it can’t get rid of anything. It’s not permitted to. Nearly every fluid or mass which a body tries to get rid of, one way or the other, is disdained by all other bodies.

“What can you really have here?”

And now let’s take excreta as a mass problem. Here is an individual who has gotten rid of a tremendous amount of mass. Let’s just take the gradual mass of excreta which has been put out by a body over a lifetime and, whether we like it or not, we find out that he has been granting beingness in that direction. And to be fair and to clear up a body situation, we would have to exteriorize him from excreta.

“Oh,” he’d say, “gee, you know, I can have those radio towers. Yup. I can have the radio towers.”

Now, we’d have to exteriorize him, too, from tears, from nasal mucous, from ear wax, from vomit. I am sorry that going over the list of things which a body puts out is all forbidden, because it’s very bad for a body for all these things to be suppressed. The inhibition of the body getting rid of these things - it has to get rid of it in hiding, you have to get rid of these things privately, so forth. Anything that a body puts out is not supposed to be put out in the society. And that is why Man, as a mammal, only lives a part of his design span.

“All right. Go be the space of them.”

You know a mammal lives six times the length of maturity up to the time he comes up to puberty. He lives six times how long it takes him to come to puberty. And it’s very remarkable that Man lags on this. His age is considerably less than this.

He says, “Well, I can have the radio towers, but I really don’t want them now.” He says, “I’ve got them anyhow.” He’ll explain all this to you after you’ve done the very thing necessary to do to get him over obsessive havingness.

So Man, as a whole, suppresses everything which the body puts out. He’s trying to keep the body from shining or trying to get rid of something or trying to get rid of things and so a body gets into a deplorable state of affairs. And if you find this a delicate subject or something that’s very delicate that you have to process with a preclear or something you have to pat-a-cake around with, why, that’s just a dramatization of what the society is trying to do to kill bodies. And there’s no reason why we should pull a light hand on this just because the custom is that one doesn’t mention such things.

You just tell him to be the space of whatever he can have and you’ll have some interesting results.

Well, I tell you, let’s put it this way: here’s this fellow got an arrow shaft in him and if it’s left there, it’s going to work just a little bit deeper. And yet, we’re living in a society that doesn’t mention arrow shafts. And so, we sit alongside the sick man and sing him psalms or something, merely because we can’t mention the fact that there’s an arrow shaft right next to his heart and don’t dare pull it out. Don’t dare pull it out, because it’s not moral to. Honest, it makes just as much sense as never addressing any of the body output. It’s just as sensible.

Now, the realest thing there is, is nothing. And it’s much more important to hand out a nothing, actually, than it is a havingness. Now, this seems to be something that you might contest or worry about, something like that, but it happens to be completely true.

You could have a moral, or something immoral or moral, anyway you want. You could have it immoral, for instance, to look at the top of stovepipes. And have people run great shame because they happened to see the top of a stovepipe, you know, and just feel terribly abased and be practically kicked out of the society.

For instance, you get somebody who is voraciously collecting, you know, material, and you’re putting out four anchor points and you’re pulling it together and four anchor points and you’re pulling it together and four anchor points and he’s getting more mass and more mass. And he decorates it all up and he feels better and better about it and he just feels swell about it.

But this feeling of degradation is the individual granting beingness continually and being forced to interiorize into, continually, masses which the body can’t get rid of. So he begins to feel pretty limp after a while. He can’t exteriorize, he isn’t his own power anymore. So, the body becomes a sort of a trap for a thetan.

You’ve spent half an hour getting him to waste enough mass of one kind or another so he could have some mass and then he’d build it up. Oh, he’s just in beautiful condition. And then you run Six Steps to Nothingness on him.

Now, I gave you an example of how you did this the other day, you just do it in brackets. You tell this preclear, “All right. Get the idea of some semen.” “Now get you exteriorizing, a dot of light coming from the semen and feeling very degraded.” See? “And then cheering up and ...” Or, “having the mass pushed at you again and then exteriorizing” and “having the mass pushed at you” and “exteriorizing” and “having the mass pushed at you and exteriorizing” and “having the mass pushed at you.” He’ll run straight on through to a point where he’ll finally change his mind and he’ll see what the score is. And he’ll all of a sudden say, “What the hell, I can exteriorize from that.” And he’ll be three feet back of his head with considerable certainty. Problem in masses.

And after you’ve run Six Steps to Nothingness on him for about ten minutes, you say, “All right. Now take that valuable mass ...”

Now, you can go back down his life and you find out that he’ll have to be exteriorized from the past and he’ll have to be exteriorized from the future and he’ll have to be exteriorized from the childhood home and the state of Texas and any place else you can think of. And the damnedest thing will turn up: his past lives are bound up in this. His sudden exteriorizations from a body in the past, his sudden disenfranchisements of all of his possessions, have wiped him out on his memory. And so they’ve wiped out a large part of his knowingness.

He says, “I don’t think it’s so valuable.”

And it is high time that you stopped thinking of a past life as an adventurous idea and as not valuable in therapy. If a fellow has had a thousand lives and he can only remember a fragment of this one, the thousandth, his knowingness, unfortunately, is cut down by the factor of one thousand. And our business is not to believe or disbelieve or do something, we’re supposed to be working with a certain set of tools and carrying along with these problems, up to a point where we can do something very valuable with it.

“Well, don’t you want it?”

Now, it is an unnatural and damn near psychotic state for a thetan not to be able to remember to a pinpoint exactly what he was doing in the year 1751, July 2nd, at 2:32 in the afternoon. Now, you run enough Straightwire on somebody and the next thing you know, you’re straightwiring back into "Remember something real.”

“No, I - I don’t need it now.”

[At this point there is a gap in the original recording.]

Well, you say, “Well why don’t you pick it up and do something about it?”

You’ve got enough grief charges sitting on the case to keep you working, by running secondaries, till the end of time. What you want to do is just exteriorize him from tears or something of the sort. Get masses of tears and exteriorize him from them and so forth and here we go.

“I don’t need it.”

But the immediate goal here is to get him out of Ztebody he’s sitting in right here. So, that’s the one you really specialize on with this process. And you run this till he’s so sick of the idea of staying in one or getting out of one that - “Oh, to hell with it,” see? I mean, just “Oh no! No more, please.” And you run it again. Now do it in brackets. And the only thing this technique will hold up on is the fact that it isn’t done in brackets and it isn’t done long enough. And I’m sorry it isn’t a shorter technique than it is, it’s a long technique.

“Well, go ahead and pick it up anyway.”

Now, these occluded cases, if you’ll exteriorize them from the Black Horse Nebula, in Orion (it’s a mass of black particles in the sky), if you’ll exteriorize them from night and exteriorize them from dark rooms and exteriorize them from pots of printer’s ink and from books, why, their visios will turn on. And this process is simply known as Exteriorization by Mock-ups.

“Okay, it’s a nice mass. I can always make another one.”

You say a person can’t get mock-ups, well, you’ll have to handle that automaticity. You know, two kinds of automatic machines: one unmocks, the other mocks. A mock-up machine, an unmocker. A mocker and an unmocker. Those are the two kinds of machinery.

Totally different reaction like “Ooooh boy, look at all this beautiful mass I finally accumulated.” See, he can have nothing.

And you start running enough unmockers out of somebody ... Well now, he’s got machinery that runs to all of the corners of a bracket. His machinery normally applies to all parts of the brackets. And you don’t really shuck a machine off until you’ve run a bracket on the machine. You know, you get somebody else getting rid of the machine and doing what’s supposed to be done.

And it sort of works out that if a fellow can own the whole universe, he can then really have nothing. And then he’s really happy. Kind of silly, isn’t it?

This fellow has a machine that unmocks bodies. All right. You have him busy installing one in himself and then somebody else installing one in himself and then somebody else installing one in somebody else and then somebody installing one in him and him installing one in somebody else. And you just run that bracket around and it won’t hang up.

All right, as we look this up and add this up, we find uniformly, that in auditing you want to use these tools. Now, let’s apply another kind of a tool and then find that your education, your ability as an auditor proceeds - it should proceed to a point where you can just take these upper - echelon factors and work out of them just process after process after process which simply fits the bill.

The reason for that is, is a very simple reason too. It’s because you’re putting the universe there all the time, if you don’t run a bracket, you’re not putting the other people. It’s a very unnatural condition for you to be merely concerned with yourself. That’s very unnatural. Mostly because if you can see somebody else, you have to mock him up.

Fellow says, “You know, I have terrible case of stage fright.”

Okay? You got a good grip on this subject now of terminals and losses of? If you’ll Ю try to evaluate life from that formula, all of a sudden, a terrific number of your own problems and why you don’t feel quite up to snuff and why you feel degraded and all that - these things will just snap into line, just pang, pang pang. You say, “Well, I’d never realized why, when I lost my husband (or I lost my wife or I lost my father or something like that), I just never could figure out why it was so violent” or something. Well, here was a big mass and you lost it. And when you lost it, you had granted it beingness.

Now, how would you work it out with Opening Procedure?

In order to lose something that is upsetting to you, you have to have granted it beingness in the first place. That’s the best thing a thetan does. You shouldn’t check granting of beingness on any thetan, he grants beingness to everything. If left to his own devices, he would be going around with that old pepper shaker that they used to have there in the Woodman ofOz, you know? And saltshaker or something - they’d shake it on a scarecrow or shake it on something else and it would immediately come to life. Oh, a thetan does this all the time, he’ll even go down to a point where he grants beingness to a pack of cigarettes. Then he figures that nothing is his and he didn’t create anything unless he granted beingness to it. That’s a real big confusion.

You’d say, “Well, when you talk to people, do you feel embarrassed too?”

The truth of the matter is, he’s “granting beingness to” all the time, but how much? He’s always on a gradient scale of beingness. Those things he considers “They’re mine! They’re really mine” when he first runs into this, why, it’s because he’s granted all this beingness to a couple of objects or something.

“Oh, yes, yes. But I can’t get on a stage.”

You’ll find out somebody will be real unhappy with some new possession sometimes. Well, it’s a matter of his granting beingness or being unwilling to grant beingness to it or he’s waiting for somebody else to grant beingness to it. You start running a person, exteriorize him from his various possessions and you’ll run into the most interesting stuff.

“Well, fine. Now let’s be here.” Just stand him up there and say, “All right. Now let’s be embarrassed.”

You see he can be duplicated unlimitedly, so you’re not really exteriorizing anything false from this object You are actually exteriorizing a piece of him. See, it isn’t a mocked-up dot of light - you’ll think it is, but it isn’t. You’re really exteriorizing him and there’s where Creative Processing crosses with what we call reality. Right on that point. You start exteriorizing him, for instance, from all the bathrooms he’s ever been in. That’s an interesting process. It’ll do more to straighten out the body habits and conditions and so on and, boy, by golly, all of a sudden he’ll begin to feel much better and so on.

"Oh, I can’t do that.”

Now, another thing is, you exteriorize him and have him let go. You know, exteriorize him from all the furniture he’s had - some particular patch of furniture or something like that - exteriorize him and then have him let go of it. All of a sudden, there’ll be crackles and pops that look like an electric storm going on. It’s really an electric storm. It isn’t any mock-up. It’s an automaticity, sure, and you could handle it as an automaticity and sometimes you have to. The case stops proceeding, why, just, “What automaticity has just occurred?”

“Well, now let’s turn around and face the spot you just were.” And they work better sometimes if you name a telephone pole or a chair or something and have him work with this character. Don’t make them do it totally imaginary, you know. Just actually have a piece of mass there.

“Well none occurred today, but when you were processing me three days ago, there was this large ball of energy came passing by my head and I’ve thought about it several times since.”

And you say, “Now be in this other and be contemptuous of you being embarrassed.” “Oh, I am that,” he’ll say. Oh boy, can he play that role!

The case hasn’t made any progress for three days, see? So, he just never mentioned this, you just didn’t pick it up, you didn’t nag him enough. So you have him get a ball of energy whiz by his head a few times and all of a sudden his case is advancing again.

“All right. Now let’s be another person” (and look at this flagpole or telephone pole or car wheel or whatever you’ve got) “and be very, very contemptuous of anybody being so embarrassed about something so insignificant.”

Okay. Do you dig this? Hm?

“Oh, okay.” Boy, he can do that.

All right. Well, let’s work with it.

“Now turn around here and be yourself being embarrassed.”

Now, SOP 8-C (special Congress edition) is, in essence, a piece of work for public Ц consumption. No auditor is worth his salt who needs a rote procedure. If he can’t process directly from fundamentals, he ought to quit. That rote procedure is there to show you how it’s done and it’s there to help you prevent yourself from diving to produce some kind of a maximum effect all the time until you really get over the humps.

“Uhhh. Well, a little bit.”

You’ll find out that quite a little bit of running of this will actually (well, I don’t know, not too much running of it), will break a fellow out of quite a few neurotic impulses, to say nothing of psychotic impulses.

“All right. Now turn around here and be people that are just waiting for you to do something very, very embarrassing. Now turn around here and just wait for you to do something embarrassing. Now just wait for that person to do something embarrassing.”

Take this Opening Procedure, by the way. If you were to take Opening Procedure and follow it with the next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis for a little while, you’d start getting someplace. And if then you decided there was still something wrong with the guy’s certainty or the girl’s certainty, why, you have them kick a few walls, you know? In other words, you’d use light techniques and you’d go on.

All of a sudden he - you don’t have to add significance to this, by the way - but all of a sudden he’ll say, “You know, I’ve been like that ever since in kindergarten when I wet my pants and they sent me home from school.”

But your latitude gets wider, the more you know of fundamentals. The time for your latitude not to be wide is when you are not entirely cognizant of fundamentals. You understand that? The time when you get a hundred down the line on such a quiz as I gave you yesterday, is time for you to get all sorts of - very inventive. That’s because you’ll know the basic fundamentals. Now, up to that time, let’s stay pretty close to home as far as these techniques are concerned. Because these techniques are built on the fundamentals and until you see how they are built on the fundamentals, why, you better use them.

I mean, something stupid like this will come up, you know? Usually something intimate and embarrassing. And he’ll just flick stuff off and on.

Now, Opening Procedure has tremendous number of variation. I was showing somebody the other day - he probably thought I was doing that just to louse up his preclear, but the main thing I was doing was just showing him there were some variations, he could vary all over the shop with making somebody go places and do things. There are lots of things he could do. You can even try to exteriorize somebody. As a matter of fact, all due respect to the fact, in spite of the fact the preclear is listening right now, what we did come up with - we came up with a tremendous piece of uncertainty there. We really got it out that this was real uncertain. See, that they just didn’t have much certainty on anything. That right?

Well, there’s a hundred thousand lives worth of it But don’t worry about the significance of it. But just get him into a state where he’s perfectly content - perfectly content to be very embarrassed. You know, have him just be awfully embarrassed.

And such an uncertainty would immediately go back to probably there’s some kind of a present time, weird, some kind of a problem kicking around on this case. And we have to sit back and think for a moment-look.

Well, there are many ways to work out such a thing. That’s by Opening Procedure. Let’s take it by good old, poor old Effort Processing. Effort Processing was good because it really filled the bill on an awful lot of cases. Because there are a lot of cases at this level. And if you’re processing bodies and you’re trying to make bodies well and so forth, Effort Processing is a good stunt.

Yeah, but there is a problem on any such case, that must be some kind of a weird problem and some kind of a light process on something or other might solve it very easily. Now, it might be such a problem as - the first thing I ever look at is a guy’s name. That’s the first thing I look at. Yeah. And I find that normally this is used by pushing the postulate around, you know? Just put the name up there and all variations and nicknames and maiden names and so forth and just shove them all around and shove them around and shove them around, until they desensitize. Well, sometimes they’re not just going to, that’s all, they’re sticky, they’re very hard. So you have him exteriorize himself from the commodity which he’s named after. You get the idea? You can turn around and run that on him sometimes and get a tremendous result.

All right. How we work it out? Well, I had a fellow one time who couldn’t help but blush. So I made the guy blush and I made him blush and I made him blush and turn all the face muscles and, I swear, I thought his jugular vein was going to leap out of his throat. He turned the most peak purple you ever saw. Oh man! And his tendons all stood out and everything, every time he made himself blush. It was out of his control. So he’d blush and blush and blush.

Let’s say a certain person’s name was Rock and . . . [laughter]

Well anyway, I did this to him for two solid hours. But mind you, his auditor had been working him previous to this. His auditor had been working him for twenty-five hours just to minimize his embarrassment - without one single, tiny piece of success.

Female voice: Are you being personal?

Now, I didn’t think I’d had very much success with the fellow, although he could turn it on, so I told him when he went home to stand in front of the mirror and blush. And then I said the next day at the office, make awfully sure that he made - pardon me, in the ensuing week - every girl in his office blush.

No! No. You’d mock-up a rock and exteriorize the person from a rock for a while. Yeah. Or let’s say the person’s name was Hayes. Well, gee, Hay, Hays, Haze. Let’s see. It’s what the preclear makes out of it, not what you make out of it. He’ll make the damnedest things out of his name, by the way, oh, he’s got deep significance on it. And it might escape you entirely, that he had to be exteriorized from horses. You see, if his name was Hay and he kept getting eaten, he’s obviously in a horse. He’ll figure this out all by himself.

I didn’t hear any more about this case and I thought, “Well, good old Effort Processing, we gave it a good whirl.” Well, the guy hasn’t blushed since. The only thing that’s wrong with him, actually now, is he takes occasionally a little bit of a fiendish delight in the fact that other people blush. And he doesn’t have to. That’s just a guy off the street, you know, I mean it’s just a human thing.

Now, they go much further afield. There are people whose names tell them they have to win, they have to excel. People whose names tell them they have to lose, people whose names tell them they can’t start, that they can’t stop, all kinds of things like that. People whose names tell them they have to be letter-perfect.

All right. Now, whenever we look into procedures, we want to add up what we know about them. Now let’s take communication and apply it to Opening Procedure. Now we have the fellow stand on one end of the room and then come around and be on the other end of the room. Have him send a message and receive it, in other words. Now what kind of a message do we have him send?

Oh, I guess that’s about all I can tell you at the moment. I’ve cut into your first auditing period again, but not very much. So, I would go ahead then, using Opening Procedure and using Step la, but with allowable procedures. Now, in personal auditing sessions, we’ll just open them up a little bit wider, allowable procedures: next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis, Six Steps to Better Beingness and Exteriorization from Commodity, with the emphasis on exteriorization.

Oh, he didn’t ever realize this, but we have him merely be in one corner of the room, you see, and have the image of him emanate to the other corner of the room and have him be in the diagonal corner of the room and receive the image of himself that is emanating to him. You know, you can do that endlessly with a guy and he always gets better?

Now, we’re not behind schedule, we’re ahead of schedule, but we’d better get exteriorization down pat. Now, you get your preclear outside and then you tell him to look at a body - if you get him outside and tell him he has to find something specifically, you get him outside and start chasing him around the universe and finding fault with him or racking him around, remember you’re handling somebody who has been disgraced because he’s been exteriorized. And he’s very, very susceptible to invalidation. So when you get a preclear nicely exteriorized by the means of Exteriorization by Mock-up, you turn around and you run Step la. That’s what you do. The second you get somebody exteriorized, Step la.

He’ll finally say, “You know, I ought to tell you this. I hate to spoil your theory and everything, but you know these bodies really don’t send out this kind of image. I mean, there’s something wrong with the photons or something, but really, this is doing that. I thought it was, but it’s not.” He’ll get out of that after a while.

You can even do it just as crudely as, “All right. Be three feet back of your head.” “Now, give me three places where you’re not.” “Three places where you’re not thinking,” so forth. But let’s stay in the material there in Step la. And that will save us from having to patch up some cases.

Now, where we have hope, there’s life. And when an individual can move around and shift his perceptions by doing simple techniques, he begins to realize that something might happen. He’s got a little hope on it and he’s afraid to have this hope. And you get into the inability to hope, which is the inability to have more MEST universe. And so we run a kind of a process on almost any preclear, of making him take ownership of everything he can see or hear or feel, around, and then blank himself out with the postulate, “Now I’m going to lose it.” And have him blank himself out or, if he’s still in the body, shut his eyes.

Now, I’ll tell you what happened to one girl. She was very, very shaky Step III. Somebody got her outside and then they started saying - she had two auditors and I don’t know why they ganged up on her, but they obviously did. They started telling her to go get a book here and to go over and touch this and that and she couldn’t see these things in the room. Her timespan was all messed up. She didn’t know whether she was - she was certain she was out, but she wasn’t quite certain where she was exactly in the room. And yet, they were asking her to go find objects and then asking her to look at the body. You could ask a preclear to look at mock-ups of his body, but don’t ask him to look at his body.

And then have him open his eyes and take possession of everything newly. And then close his eyes and lose it. And then open his eyes and possess everything. And then close his eyes and lose it.

You take this little kid, see, I mean this three-year-old kid and you finally coax him into walking outside. It’s the first time he’s ever been out of the house under his own power. And then you turn on him and you say, "Well, now go turn on the hose and water the front lawn.” And you say this to him and you expect him to do it. And he starts to wander off and play at something or something of the sort. And you say, “No, no, no, no! You go-now-let’s-let’s-go find that hose and turn it on the front lawn.” He doesn’t even know the word!

Now, this is actually not best done as a Group Process sitting in a room. And it’s not best done in an auditing room. It should be done someplace where there are things in motion, because every time he opens his eyes, he finds a lot of new things in the environment. So we really do give him a new world every time.

The first thing you know, he’s going to be pretty baffled, just to what you’re up to. Well, that’s what a preclear does. He’s in a delicate frame of mind when he exteriorizes, poor fellow. I’d be in a delicate frame of mind if I interiorized, believe me. The way this mock-up has been kicking around here and no rest and on the flat run.

There are different cars and different pedestrians or the fellow who was standing in front of the window or something is now moved on down to a new window. So he sees, actually, that there is a passage of time by the motion of large particles in his vicinity. And you’ll unpark a guy off of time.

All right. Let’s do this: let’s take ten and then audit - just take ten and then audit twice as fast so as to make up for the lost periods this period is getting.

In the early part of life, an individual is trying to crush ahead into the future because there’s where he thinks havingness is. After a while, he settles down into the middle strand and just “has” and he does this briefly or longly and he’ll wind up, eventually, that all his havingness is in the past. And so each passing tick of the clock takes the universe away from him. And it’s quite upsetting to him.

But okay, let’s take those ten minutes.

So havingness and time come right together on that process. And this is an immediate address of the theory to a process. See? Havingness, time. Okay. Let’s just plot the two together, bang, and process it. And you get an almost endless increase of perception changes.

Now, if you get somebody up to a hundred thousand feet - you know, I mean, have him up there and just have him possess everything that he sees and then blank it out and then possess it again, you will get a continuous set of perception changes. An exteriorized technique, in other words.

All right. Now, we’ve got another factor in there, though, is we keep validating the MEST universe if we do that. We’re validating barriers, validating barriers, validating barriers. Well, it’s all right to validate MEST universe barriers, they won’t bite. But after a while, he gets up to the point where he knows he can have the MEST universe and you must recognize the point where he can begin to be processed on having nothing - see everything and now look right straight through it and have nothing.

Now sooner or later, he’s going to have to have the process and the process can be used at any time you’re processing the case on havingness. This new time, now, have him open his eyes and find no walls, instead of have everything. See, he runs some nothingness in on it. So you’re running a something - nothingness and getting him off of his maybes.

Now, I want to make a point here that’s a little bit disrelated to what’s - been talking about. You are not doing psychotherapy and if you are still deeply engrossed in doing psychotherapy, then you are missing the boat. You’re not doing psychotherapy. Any time you think you’re doing psychotherapy, you’re going to get more interested in changing the aberrated ideas of the person than you are in accomplishing and returning to him his knowingness.

Psychotherapy has as its goal, if it has any goal - and we can give it a goal and say it had a goal - psychotherapy has as its goal shifting the ideas and peculiarities of an individual into saner channels. We can give it a goal and say it had that goal and that’s what it was. But you’re not doing that now. And the sooner the quicker. And any pc failure you’re having may be - or any little extra time you’re putting in on a session - you may be wasting, you know. It just may be that you’re wasting fifty-five minutes of an hour in session - it just may be - by performing psychotherapy. You see, you could be doing that.

What you’re trying to do is Theta Clear somebody. Now, you only work his ideas in the direction of Theta Clearing him. That is exteriorizing him and give him freedom of position. He can be anyplace, in anything, doing anything he wants to. Freedom of position. Up to a point where, when he gets up to Operating Thetan, then you’ve got to drill him on making barriers. He gets too free and he gets a little unhappy about it, so you give him barriers that he can erect as he wishes. You have him make machines that he can forget about and that will then do peculiar and strange things such as swish him - every time he looks at the front door of the house, why, he swishes straight through the house and comes back to the front door again - and install this machine and so on.

And nothing will startle him more than the intense workability of such mechanics. He’ll try to get rid of this machine or something, after a short time, and if you have fixed it up so that you’ve told him, "Put it in so only your auditor can get rid of it” or something like that, you’ve really fixed him up. And he becomes utterly convinced that his own postulates will stick. And after that, he will use them rather freely.

But he has to be reconvinced that his postulates will stick, because he’s gotten himself into too much trouble with his own postulates. But you’re not doing psychotherapy. If you’re doing psychotherapy, you’re trying to alter a man’s agreement with Homo sapiens so that he can be a better Homo sapiens or you’re trying to level him out so that he can fit better into an existing situation or you’re trying to make his body well or you may be trying to do a lot of things. We’re not interested in any of those things, for the good reason that they all accrue from Theta Clearing.

And you just take your mind immediately off of trying to straighten up somebody to be a better Homo sapiens and work him always on upward toward being a better Operating Thetan and, by golly, he will become, actually, more and more - sometimes in dives and curves, by the way - but he will actually become more and more capable of being a terrific being.

Now, he’ll even get up to a point where he can actually get rid of a very, very wicked, onerous situation. He may have to hold down, for some responsibility or other, some kind of a job someplace or do something of the sort. Well, that is solved by being able to duplicate himself. He just duplicates himself. He goes off someplace else and does what he pleases and goes on doing the job at the same time. But there he has to have enough - sufficient attention to put his attention on two things at once.

Now, you get difficulties as you go up the line. For instance - I’ll give you an example. Preclear had a mock-up-that is, a doll stuck on another planet, that was sitting at a desk. And a part of the doll was missing. That is, the doll had been shot. And part of its mechanics was gone, it couldn’t do anything but sit at a desk. And the fellow had sat at this desk shuffling communications so long that he practically went mad, exteriorized from the doll and came down to Earth and picked up a body. So he sort of went non compos mentis as this doll but still was functioning to some slight degree, as this doll, on another planet at a desk - way away from here.
