RISING SCALE PROCESSING

The D.E.I Scale

A lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard at the 11 December 1952A Lecture given by L. Ron Hubbard on the 11 December 1952

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

Now to some degree (this is the second afternoon lecture uh… December the 11th) – to some degree you may find some of the data I give you – uh… unless you take a look at the way it’s being oriented – somewhat rambling. Well, maybe it is rambling. Uh… but uh… actually, I’m demonstrating something to you – we keep picking up things and then orienting them back to a point. In other words, we’re demonstrating data, a central data and its evaluation against many other data. And we just keep picking that up and bringing it back in.

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

And we start talking about running regular things. Well, we show how that swings back in again.

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

Uh… having to have and not having to have is, of course, a form of agreement. And we keep swinging back into agreement which we undo with mock-ups – simple isn’t it?

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

Having to have, and trying to avoid having to have – it’s a very funny thing that this works out so… so easily. This speaks of, first, a cultivated desire: The person had to have a desire in some direction or another in order to go down tone scale. The thetan was picked up way up tone scale and Desire, and uh… so forth, is way up tone scale. So we come down tone scale a little bit on Desire.

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

Then when his desire paled, somebody of course, had to enforce it to keep it going. That brought him down tone scale a little further. And when he’d enforced it to a point where it was IMPOSSIBLE to do without it, then you inhibit it so the guy can’t have it.

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

And that’s any item or thought or belief.

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

Let’s take a thought on this line – let’s take Christianity – that’s a handy example. Lot of people know something about Christianity. There are a few still left in the society who do. And uh… the uh… we get Desire at the top. Yes, sir, sure enough, you tell somebody, „Life immortal – this is the route to life immortal. Here we go.“

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

And of course, everybody knew that there was a route to life immortal. They knew that instinctively and many other religions before Christianity had gotten into beautiful condition by selling Immortality. I almost called it, „Pie in the sky“ but I – that’s a Communist term and I don’t want to be partisan.

And he says, „That’s right.“

Uh… the war of ideas and ideologies is a fascinating war. All right?

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

Here we have, then, immortality and they rig it out aesthetically – give it good story value that’s all. Here it is a nice aesthetic. You desire to have immortality.

„Oh, yes. I can do that.“

Now, then the next step is – you go through this ritual, you get immortality. That’s good. The next step is, down the line from that, that it’s very, very good – little stronger salesmanship – and uh… by the time the guy has bought this, he then buys the next step down the scale which is, „And if you don’t buy pie in the sky“ – pardon me – „immortality uh… if you don’t buy this, we’re going to send you to hell. And hell’s a terrible place.“ And you know hell was really – really interesting at first. It was just „Hell.“

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

By the way, do you know what the first Hell was? Everybody hoped, but thoroughly, all through the civilized world, that Rome, the corrupt prostitute of all nations, would roast in its tracks. And they hoped because of the volcanic action of Italy, that one day the ground would suddenly go „Burp!“ and a roaring sea of lava would eat up Palatine Hill and the rest of Rome. This was the slavemaster of the world, and they wanted Rome to turn into a sea of lava.

„Yeah, yeah, I did that.“

And at first when they talked about Hell, they weren’t talking about any personal Hell, they were talking about fire would occur. And they were trying to sell everybody on the basis of the disappearance of Rome. This was really – a bunch of press agents probably got – I’ve got a friend that says, „You know,“ he said, „I finally figured out how all this happened. There was a bunch of the boys got together in Rome and uh… they worked this all out – something like a bunch of hot advertising men or something – press boys – and they worked this all out and they sold it in an effort to undo and bring down in a crash the Roman Empire.“ And it sure went in that direction. Of course, he’s just joking. (It’s all true, in actual fact.)

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

And uh… when uh… when uh… they got uh… Rome all burned up and in flames, they thought, then they’d all be in fine shape. Well, that was the level of salesmanship at that time. It had dropped down from a good, aesthetic, beautiful desire, down to a desire that had to do with pain directed toward a certain object (Rome) mixed up.

„Ooww!“ he says.

Now, people still weren’t buying pie in the sky the way they ought to buy pie in the sky, so the next step down was, „You know we’ve been a little bit…“ Uh… by the way, they… in Nero’s time a bunch of criminals set fire to Rome and uh… this ambition was almost realized. And then they all blamed it on Nero. And uh… said – attributed it to the sympathic vibrations of his violin strings or something. And uh… we got uh… pie in the sky as a glut commodity.

„What happened when you do that?“

You know there hadn’t been – they first expected, you know, just heaven to suddenly open up in this lifetime and there they’d be – there they’d be, right there. Oh, no. That wasn’t what happened, so they finally were saying it was after death that this took place. Oh, bunch lot less people started buying it.

„Something went ‘ping!’ or something.“

So they said, „We’ve gotta make this commodity saleable,“ so they turned it into currency and enforced it with bayonets… – but spiritual bayonets. They said, „The hell of which we spoke is an actual hell, and you have your choice between going to that hell or going to heaven after death. And it all depends on whether or not you were a good boy before you died. And we can reach you after you’re dead – which is a temporal justice of kinds that uh… we enjoy.“

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

All right, next step then – people didn’t buy that worth a damn. A lot of people rushed in and uh… they had to make it a little bit better. And do you know, before they got through, they had seven hells?

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

Once in a while you’ll pick up this magic number „7“ on the track. It’s a prime number and therefore interesting to mathematicians. And there were seven this and seven that and seven stars and seven something or other. And there are seven hells.

„Yes.“

Now very often you will find some preclear who is doing a bad spin on religion on account of religious implants, and you’ll find these confounded seven hells sitting there. And they’ve forgotten they ever heard of Dante’s Inferno and the Seven Hells – they’ve forgotten this utterly. There was a hell of ice and a hell of fire and a hell of something or other, and I don’t know what all the hells were but it’s an interesting study in sadism.

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

But uh… that was enforcement. We’ve gotten down tone scale to enforcement, you see.

„All right – yeah.“

And then they came down tone scale, finally got to a point where nobody was believing that but it took an awful long time for that curve to fall. And that curve finally fell at its lowest ebb of enforcement on earth – I mean, the heaviest ebb was the autodafé‚ in the hands of the Grand Inquisition of Spain under an infamous dope by the name of Torquemada whose life I have read in a book bound in human skin – how fitting.

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

Now Torquemada, Grand Inquisition – boy, they couldn’t be convinced that people weren’t convinced about these seven hells. Nobody’d ever come back and told them about ‘em. Uh… they… they couldn’t be interested too much in pie in the sky; they got much more interested in action here on earth and a lot of other things. And so the autodafé‚ really was a convincer. They’d put ‘em on a stake and they’d put the… put the stakes around them.

„Yeah!“

The only… the only crime was whether or not you accepted Church Doctrine. And a man could become a heretic for carrying his prayer book backwards. It was just getting to a level of idiocy on enforcement. Anything you did that was even vaguely to the disinterest of uh… the Church was greeted by an autodafé.

„Now,“ you say, „get being wrong.“

British seamen uh… caught in a… in port or something like that, arrested, „Oh, uh… you don’t believe in God exactly the way you’re supposed to, therefore you’re an heretic“ – what do you know? They burned ‘em, just like that – that was all. Put ‘em against the stake.

„Hey, I can’t get that anymore.“

They had hell of fire then which was personal, highly personalized hell. And there it was.

„Well, get the concept of being right.“

They had brought it down to an enforcement and their havingness of it had become so scarce that it was no longer an idea; it was an actuality which was an enforced actuality and so on.

„Yeah, I can get that.“

That was the grand tide of enforcement of the Christian Church.

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

And, what do you know? After that they got down tone scale to inhibition. They inhibited your having God unless – that was about the punishment level, that they inhibited you having God unless… you had to think a pure thought, or you had to spit pure spit or something of the sort. And uh… you… you were – there you were, and you couldn’t have God unless you were a pure soul and you wouldn’t know anything about it at all, and you had to have God at a price of, oh, I don’t know, 30 talents in some cases.

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

Recently some dame uh… some babe uh… pardon me. I… I keep classifying her correctly. Uh… some „lady“ uh… paid His… His… His uh… Royal – uh pardon me, uh… His uh… I don’t know. What do you call the guy? Oh, yeah. His… His uh… uh… Pope Pius? Pope Pius, that’s right. Paid him a million bucks-dollars cash to ratify her divorce properly. I mean, it had all been granted by states and bishops and everything else, but she finally had to pay him a billion bucks-dollars to knock it out.

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

But inhibition… inhibition, it’s got scarce. The mercy of God became very costly. It became more and more costly and more and more costly, more and more costly until it isn’t available at all now. You know, practically outside of one or two guys like Pope Pius, and I suppose there’s some whirling dervish up in the middle of the Stygian wastes or some place that you could go in and give ‘em a quick buck and they would say, „All right, we’ll give you a God – there you are, signed receipt.“ And it would be about the level.

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

Christianity has gotten to the point where it’s terrible scarce. You wouldn’t think so with all the churches you’ve got around, but I was talking about Christianity.

„Yeah, it makes me feel sad.“

Now people have run many other things into this field. They have run practically every way you could think of to do something or be something or act some other way into this level. And you can get all sorts of things from a church now – anything but God.

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

You can get basketball, bridge, bowling alleys, dances, bazaars – almost anything you want to. But don’t go in and ask for a hat full of God, because they haven’t got it to sell. It’s got an inhibition and then scarcity, but if they gave you any God it wouldn’t be the idea, the spiritual idea at all. It would be a piece of MEST. You can buy God – you can go down and buy a cross – and it’s MEST. It’s all solid now.

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

Isn’t that interesting? Where we have Desire, Enforce and Inhibit and out through the bottom. And you have a dying, if not dead, religion. One whole nation swallowed in blood to get rid of it and bought another slavemaster much worse: Soviet Russia. Uh… other nations have a level of tolerance and fortunately never abandoned that thing which Rome abandoned.

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

Rome died the day it denied itself. The principle of self-denial is a very interesting principle. The fellow starts buckling up the day he says he didn’t say it, when he did. You know, he keeps saying… he keeps disowning, disowning his acts, disowning his acts, no responsibility, less and less responsibility and he’s gone.

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

And Rome was founded on the secure foundation of religious freedom. All races could worship anything they wanted to worship. And on that basis it thrived and it absorbed any country because Roman law was superior to any other law there was. There was more fairness, better courts and better protection under the cloak of Rome than in any other governmental system on earth at that time. And people were even happy to have a Roman rule in preference to tyrants, fascists – something of the sort.

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

Romans were tough. They didn’t mince about things, but they had law and a province or a newly acquired country could, in time, become fully accredited so that they would have Roman citizenship which was right to right under law.

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

And people actually would surrender up to Rome on this bait: justice. And she became powerful under this. She became powerful under it because she respected man, she respected the right that man should have, including the right of religious freedom.

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

By the way, that is a very, very relative term. You, for instance, today sit here with a constitution which guarantees religious freedom but, by golly, what would happen to you if you started to worship Baal? Man! How that would ring in the tabloids. If you started to worship Lucifer, if you started to worship any of the various gods…

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

One fellow, Allistair Crowley uh… picked up a level of religious worship which is very interesting – oh boy! The press played hocky with his head for his whole lifetime. The Great Beast – 666. He just had another level of religious worship.

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

Yes, sir. You’re free to worship everything under the Constitution so long as it’s Christian.

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

Don’t become Mohammedan. Nobody will come around and shoot you because you’re a Mohammedan, but don’t try to start Mohammedan churches. You’ll be discouraged very definitely.

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

As such, the freedom which man is guaranteed in the English-speaking world today is really not as wide as the freedom which he had as a Roman.

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

‘Course, part of that freedom was if he got too badly off and too far into debt and unable to protect himself and if his friends all deserted him, he could be sold into slavery. Or soldiers taken in combat could be sold into slavery. They did not take these soldiers in combat and put them in a stockade and make them work for farmers (there’s no slavery in the modern world).

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

Uh… there’s no slave camps in Russia. Slavery’s dead. Uh… what they do is… is… is… is they get these fellows on a want and an inhibit and – in… on an enforce and inhibit cycle and say, „You get your Saturday paycheck if you worship at the right time clock.“ That’s the God of the modern society: The time clock. He has a face the same shape as the dollar.

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

And uh… your society in Rome, then, suddenly denied itself. There was a race which was teaching certain doctrines – Christians, unwanted uh… unwanted gentiles, came into the Hebrew countryside and studied that religion and took it back out into the world. And uh… the people in those areas around Jerusalem and so on, didn’t have a pioneer spirit with this world… with this, they disowned these people, but these people still went out and preached this. And it had an interesting ingredient in it that no other religion up to the time had had in it. And Rome was unable to understand this. And that ingredient was hate. It’s perfectly all right, it… it… it… it’s uh… another thing to have in a religion. It’s neither bad nor good. These people were not trying to do a messianic job on the rest of the world, but gentiles used to come in there, and they’d join the church and then they’d go back to Con… well, Constantinople didn’t exist then, well, but go back to other places and start beating the drum for this new religion. That was before Christ.

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

And then this legend of Christ came along and people really started to beat the drum. Again the Hebrew didn’t keep this rolling, this people rolled in there an picked up this legend out of the rich legends of the Hebrew races and out she went – Ha-wham! And people went mad on this. They spun, they went up and down the pole like a… so many firemen at a five-alarm fire. They were… beautiful condition. They’d rush into Roman Courts and say, „Okay, here I am! Execute me!“ The Roman judge would say, „Well, really! Now after all. Can’t we just take this under advisement?“ And they kept getting justice and they didn’t want justice; they wanted blood, death and murder. They wanted to be a martyr!

„Oh, yeah. That’s a sad one.“

Oh, that’s a fascinating chapter and Rome finally said, „We’re so damn tired of this that hereinafter aforesaid Christianity is not going to be accepted by the Roman Empire,“ and what do you know – crash! Down came the Roman Empire – denied itself. It denied its principles and freedom and had begun to inhibit something. It had inhibited… inhibited God in one respect or another and down she went.

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

Interesting, it… You know that empire still kept going for another 800 years under various guises, but it certainly went up and down after a while. In the year five hundred and something A.D., the total population of Rome consisted of two wolves walking in the ruins of the Forum. Right back, the cycle had turned all the way.

„Yeah, I got that one.“

And we had this, then, as a descending spiral. And the reason I’m punching all this stuff up, I’m demonstrating something on a national, or Third Dynamic, level. It came back to this line-up: Here you had a philosophy injected which first entered with a desire, became an enforcement and an inhibition, and the first moment somebody had agreed, agreed on the level of ihihibition it died. And the first time there gets to be a heavy inhibition in any line, a thing dies because that inhibition level is, itself, death.

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

This tells you, then, your preclear starts in this way. First dynamic, second, third, and forth – doesn’t matter where you pick him up. Here you’re looking at him.

„Yeah, I got that.“

You know that your preclears were a part of this whole picture? This dwindling spiral of religious freedom became part of the woof and warp of the life of most preclears, who actually followed through that period.

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

And now today they’re left with, then… there’s just the ashes. There’s… there’s nothing more sterile today than… than religion. It is dull, just dull beyond dull. It can’t be had – it’s too scarce.

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

You could go around any place you wanted to and set up a soap box or something of the sort, and start giving people God, and you’d survive. Evangelists do that on about the cheapest… cheapest guitar, git-fiddle level imaginable. They get over the radio and everything else. They’re just perfectly willing to give somebody God. And… and… by the… the communication lines that are set up are just fabulous. And yet this isn’t general at all; this is not a religious revival. This is the last flick-flack sparks of the fakir who is picking up at the pitch stand something that was once very grand.

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

I have no partiality with regard to religion. Anybody who wants to sell pie in the sky or hot air needs no license to survive from me.

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

Uh… now, when we get down to cases, we find that this happened to the preclear. First he desired, then he finds out that he’s GOT to have what he originally desired, and then he can’t have it. And it just goes flick-flack down scale.

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

So as you run a preclear up scale, you’ve got to run him back to, to get rid of his knee, really, by mock-ups or have and have not or any other way, you’ve got to run him up scale to what? Desire to have the knee – he had a desire to have a bad knee. So let’s get him to have a desire to have a knee. And we’ll find out he made it a bad knee so that he could preserve it and so he could have a knee. He made it a bad knee so nobody else could have it. That’s your origin of chronic somatics.

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

He makes the body sick so it won’t be too desirable. In other words, he’s clear down bottom scale with this body: He’s down in inhibit.

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

And what do you know? We look up on our tone scale and we find out inhibition starts in at about 1.1 and goes right on down scale from 1.1 – and it’s death all the way.

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

So look up neurological illnesses and that sort of thing, on the SCIENCE OF SURVIVAL tone scale, and that’s what you find there. He’s got to inhibit the havingness of somebody else so he won’t get it.

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

He’s saying in another way, „Don’t eat me.“ He can’t say, „Don’t eat me“ with a club or a lightning bolt. He can’t say that. And up higher up tone scale he can’t – he’s very far from being able to say, „You don’t want to eat me, do you? You have no desire on the subject.“ And of course whatever it is that was trying to eat him would say, „Well, no, come to think about it, I don’t.“

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

That’s all – no force involved.

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

Now we go down tone scale a little bit and the fellow had to be able to say, „Oh-ho, you’re going to eat me, huh? Well, there’s your head“ – handed to him on a silver platter. „Oh, you’re going to eat me, are you? Ny, you taste good!“

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

And we get down tone scale from that and the fellow can no longer say this, so he says, „Look, the reason you don’t want to eat me is because I’m really poison – boy! Am I poison. Look at the arthritis in that knee. Boy, would I disagree with you.“ He gets all sorts of reasons why he has to protect something.

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

So you get somebody who starts out with great beauty. What do they do? They have to start protecting this beauty to maintain it. Now that’s a beautiful one, isn’t it? They can’t recreate the beauty; they can’t create it again. They know that another specious fact they can’t create anything. They can’t create the beauty, they think, so they sort of have to enforce the beauty of it. And you’ll get somebody going down tone scale on the subject of beauty. First they desired beauty, they were beauty – there was nothing to it. Uh… other people desired beauty, and then the other people – they still might have had the idea, but other people had decided they weren’t beautiful anymore.

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

So what do they to do? They have to enforce this beauty. First they do it with powder and paint. Then they do it with exhibitionism. You’ll find in the cycle of somebody’s life, a period when he’s actually tried to go around and practically flout himself under the noses of other people. It might have happened quite early in his life, but that period’s always there – in a dwindling spiral. He’s just flouted himself. And he’s saying, „Look, you better think that I’m good-looking or else!“ Big row about it – „You don’t think I’m pretty anymore, that’s the trouble. That’s the whole thing. I’m going to cry unless…“ Enforced – enforced beauty.

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

Now what do we get down at the bottom of the tone scale? – They finally wind up by making themselves uglier than they need be. They inhibit the existing beauty. „Oh! You don’t think I’m beautiful anymore? Well, you can’t see me beautiful?“ That’s all there is on this dwindling spiral.

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

Now we keep looking at these spirals, looking at these cycles of action. What are we doing? We just keep comparing data with the same data – agreement. In order to have any of the desire communicated, you have to have an agreement that it communicates. In order to enforce something, you have to have an agreement that it can be enforced. In order to inhibit something you have to have an agreement that it can be inhibited. And above that level of agreement, there has to have been postulates that this sort of a thing can take place – postulate, and then you agree with a postulate.

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

Now you get agreement… agreement itself then, because it turns into flows, becomes eventually Agree and Disagree. And that is reality itself. You agree with it or you don’t agree with it. If you don’t agree with it, it doesn’t have reality. If you do agree with it, it does.

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

You can agree with it too much and you’re it. And you’re not you anymore.

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

So we get all these fascinating, fascinating uh… complexities arising out of what? The principle of the cycle of action, resulting from Q-1.

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

Now how does Q-1 exactly tie into Desire and Enforce and Inhibit? Very simply. Here we have theta, create, space, energy, objects, locate energy and objects in space. That’s what it really amounts to. And we get, under desire, we get an expansive thing. Desire is a created space – funny isn’t it? – at the first level that you get it in this universe.

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

Of course, above that level it’s a postulate. Just below that level it starts to be a flicker of agreement. And then we get this expansiveness. First moment we enter the MEST universe. Desire can be a very wide thing, high on the tone scale – high on the tone scale – very wide, expansive, so forth. The harmony and beauty of beauty nowhere shows up like it does in a BIG space.

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

If you want to really knock somebody’s eyes out if you were a painter and you really wanted to ruin somebody’s… make them just so interested, you’d take a great big hall, and you take enormous curtains. And you take one picture that you painted, just that. And you put it down at one end of this hall – fix those curtains so they’re ready to drape across the thing. And then just a little brac-a-brac. Let’s put a little carpet on the floor and some curtains on the window. But by golly, let’s not have anything in there that even vaguely shows up, like the curtains around the picture.

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

And then let people come in at the far end of the room and see this great space. And sitting at one end of it, this small picture. They can’t help it, they just sort of cave in. They say, „Look! My God, that thing must be valuable.“

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

Value is in terms of space, you see.

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

You know that a fellow who is big and expansive and can reach around a lot of things, and so forth, has, initially, space – he’s operating in lots of space. If he tries to operate in smaller space, why uh… he gets to snapping around it quite a bit. He operates in smaller space, he’s much worse off.

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

Now let’s take… let’s take space, very little contact, big anchor points, so forth. Boy, ha… have you ever seen a… a… have you ever seen a waterfall, for instance, that fell a hundred and fifty feet? Anything like that. Just that big space. Now have you ever seen a waterfall that fell 150 feet and had just one plume fall all the way. There’s some such falls on the banks of the Columbia River – I don’t… And there’s some Yosemite that do this. They fall through all that space – just one plume of water comes all the way down.

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

Gee, people stand there and they wonder why they’re so enthralled. All of a sudden they’ve got anchor points and they’ve got bigness and they’ve got simplicity. And out of this they get harmony. You can practically feel their souls just sort of smooth down and go „Purrr.“

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

That’s one of the big traps of this universe, is it apparently has all this space, see. And having all this space why uh… anything like a sun, you know? Little suns, that’s all. Must have… you say, „It’s too tiny.“ No – you take a…

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

Let’s take a bucket full of 25 carat diamonds – the purest, most unflawed diamonds possible. Let’s take a bucket full of them – put them right there. No, no. Let’s take one – knock that away and take one great big velvet, black velvet cloth and set it on a table and put one light on it. And then take one one-carat diamond and put it on there. If Tiffany’s ever changed their policy they’d wreck their business. But they quite customarily put nothing in the window but one simple stone. And there it sits – one stone. People go by and they say, „Screeeee!“

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

And the boys who run these other… these… these uh… two-bits-for-a-collar-of-diamonds jewelry stores with those racks and racks and racks and racks and racks of things, have to actually, really to attract any real attention and get the passers-by to stop, they have to put in value, value, value, value, value in terms of lots of money so that people get to looking at a mass and it’s a curiosa. It’s not an appreciation at all. They get the appreciation, „Junk.“

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

And… and you get this – in the front of one of those windows you can have big diamonds rigged up, five-carats diamonds, ten-carat diamonds in rings and everything else like you see on New York, Broadway. You see those right straight up close to the window glass. And uh… there’ll be a rack of them sitting there and people’ll go along and say, „What do you know? Five thousand dollars! What do you know? Ten thousand dollars! What do you know? Twenty-five thousand dollars! Isn’t that interesting? You know, it’s funny how much that thing costs. I wish I had something like that. Well, let’s go over to the show.“ No interest level. No space, so of course it can’t be of any value.

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

Now uh… you could get something very tiny and enclose it in a very tiny place of very exquisite workmanship. You get sort of the idea of a theft when you do that, when you… when you see this little, tiny ivory worked castle, you see. Little tiny castle, and it’s got a little, tiny thing in that offsets. You sorta get the idea that somebody stole something, when you look at this thing. It… it… it’s… it’s… it gives you kind of that feeling. You d… you don’t get really the feeling – you get the feeling of beauty and exquisiteness a little bit, but – somebody swiped it.

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

Why? It’s very simple. I mean, somebody has taken and out of a space that he shouldn’t have, he’s worked in some beauty into it. You see, that’s too small a space to have that much in.

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

Now uh… let’s go in some other fields: What… what’s your great singer? The first criticism of a singer: „Oh, he has a parlor voice.“ How much space can he fill with sound? That’s the first requisite.

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

Caruso was the greatest singer of all time because he could knock out the back of any auditorium practically. Also he had force in his voice – he could crack wine glasses, hold a true note. And you say, „This is truth of note.“ No, that… the upset of that was there was – must have been enough force in that voice to crack wine glasses. He had perhaps great beauty of voice, perhaps not. But boy he was sure loud.

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

Want to become a great singer? The hell with shifting notes. Don’t even bother to carry a tune. If you were just to go out and practice so that you could take the biggest auditorium in the United States or the Hollywood Bowl and get to a point where you could fill that Bowl with sound without any electronic equipment, boy, they’d elect you. You’d get elected right then.

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

Now, it’s a funny thing: What’s the difference then between the great singer and the hog caller? Both of ‘em can fill a lot of space with sound. Well, look… look them over – look them over. There’s a different intention behind the sound. The intention is to call a hog in one case, and to be loud; and the intention in the other place is to interest people and create a desire.

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

Big difference. Where do you find your biggest difference then? Your biggest difference is up in the postulate intentional level. That’s… that’s the difference – up there. And then a little bit lower than that there’s an agreement that the singer is… is a singer, and an agreement that a hog caller is a hog caller. And we’ve agreed to laugh at hog collars and we’ve agreed to be very serious about singers – very simple.

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

That’s right. That’s about all there is to it. You go out to be a great singer, you make sure that everybody knows that you’re a great singer. You wear the trappings of a great singer, that’s all. I’ve seen some pianists sitting in dives that could tear the keys off the piano with any classical music – beautiful, just beautiful playing. But they didn’t have on a tail coat, they did not have an air, they didn’t have the style, they didn’t have all the symbols and trademarks of the great pianist.

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

How do you act as a great pianist? Hah-hah! We know how you act as a great pianist – you’re very impressive in the first place. You come in, you ignore the whole audience. You sit down, you sweep your coat tails out of the way in order to sit down at the seat of just one piano sitting on this huge stage, see? And you sit down, and then you wait very patiently until everybody deigns to be damn quiet. And you start in. And make sure that you have the grandness of gesture. That’s all it is.

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

The poor guy sitting down in the jukebox playing with his derby hat over one eye, maybe can play rings around that guy on the concert stage, but he doesn’t know one fact – one fact he doesn’t know: that he has to act big and great in order to be big and great. And if he acts big and great and with the proper mannerisms to be big and great, he’ll be big and great. Because he’s what? He’s not putting on anything but the agreement.

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

If he refuses to act within the frame of agreement which is assigned to bigness and greatness, or if he has some purpose in not acting in that frame of reference, he won’t be.

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

You can really pitch it any way you want to. You can just throw it in any direction. But if you’re going to throw it in any direction you want to, you’ll have to be able to initially feel that you can command space and energy. It’s all well and good to just fake in and know you’re faking in. It isn’t that people read your mind, it just shows up in the manner; the manner isn’t there.

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

Calli-Curcy never came out and looked at the audience apologetically – never. Neither did Caruso. Caruso came out and he’d look them over. „All right, you people are privileged now to hear me sing.“ He’d say, „Now you’re going to hear me sing.“ There… it wouldn’t – nobody would have stood a chance if they had decided not to hear him sing. Nobody would’ve stood a chance.

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

Now there’s… there’s you… there’s your difference. What is greatness? It’s simply that: What a beautiful language – „Great-ness.“ Big-space.

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

If a fellow fills up all the space he has, he’d better find bigger space.

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

Now there’s the quality of action, and that mostly has to do with consistent quality of action. He has a consistency and a control – increase and decrease – at will. It isn’t enough to sing loud. One must sing loud and fall off to a softness, and sing loud again at will. He must also be able to stop and start singing at will. He follows this… this whole cycle of action.

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

And at that level of big space, there is desire, and people see that as the space and they also will see it instantly as desire. There we have desire at work: Big space, certainty and if any force is there at all, the force is subordinate to the agreement that there should be force there.

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

You get the complete feeling at that level that a person would not need any force in order to carry out his mission.

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

Now what do you know? Do you know you could walk down here and take the star of a cup you could just walk down and take his badge away from him… and have him agree perfectly to do it, that you should do it. You just assume that you have the right to, not the right you have to defend. This is sort of a God-given right. You walk down and talk to him about his badge, and you’ll have it in your hand in a couple of seconds. You don’t have to use subterfuge to get it. That’s the way not to get it.

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

Now there are much easier ones. Do you know that… how they tell a shoplifter in a store? How they tell a criminal on the street? They don’t have his description. He looks suspicious. You know that people… people… cops arrest a criminal on… away from the scene of the crime a few minutes afterwards ordinarily because they look so suspicious. They just weren’t big enough to do what they did, because they knew they didn’t have the right to do it and that was the first requisite of criminality, is knowing one doesn’t have the right to do it. The second one knows one has the right to do it, it ceases to be a criminality and becomes a right.

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

And the difference between a right and the difference between a criminal act, is simply knowing one has a right to and knowing one doesn’t have a right to. In other words, knowing one has a right to, one would have to command enormous space and enormous power to know so completely that he would have the right to any item or object in an entire city.

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

Boy, would he have to be big. He’d have to be a hell of a lot bigger than that city – big. To the petty thief who knows he doesn’t have the right to pay a nickel to ride on the subway, and the second after he’s paid his nickel he still looks like he doesn’t have a right to ride on the subway. And, what do you know? He paid his nickel! Now that’s an interesting point, isn’t it. Fascinating.

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

He knows he doesn’t have the right to. He knows he doesn’t have the right to do anything. He has no space and no time, no havingness. And as such, he comes right on down scale.

You say, „What’s you running, fella?“

Now there are some people who have the right natively to have a… a space bigger than a galaxy, easily. And who have come down in their own eyes to a point where they know they can’t have a space bigger than a planet, and they don’t have a right to any space bigger than a planet. And they go on acting apologetic about the whole deal. And you’d… you’d swear – they aren’t on… out like a petty thief, but they’re down in their own estimation to that degree. The very great on earth have had that feeling.

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

They’re scaled way down and they still have enough of this to spare. Well, there’s a… what’s the difference then between a petty thief and a person the size of the MEST universe? Well, your petty thief possibly could be, some day, the size of the MEST universe. But it would mainly depend upon his knowing he had the right to be.

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

And when you get a postulate-changing session going on with some preclear, you will be astonished. They’ll realize they don’t have the right to do this, or to do that or to do something else – because they agreed not to have the right.

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

And one could call the whole dwindling scale of stuff, „Agreeing not to be able to.“ That’s the saddest story ever sung: „I agree that I do not have the right to…“ And there are a lot of understoods back of that, a lot of postulates that have gone before. „I agree that I do not have the right to…“

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

The first day you ever said, „Well, all right. I see that other people are using these things and so forth.“ Just nonsensically you said one day, „Well, I agree. I uh… well, I agree that other people have the right to…“ Oh-oh! That’s the same thing, isn’t it? „I agree other people have the right to…“ is the „I agree I don’t have the right to have a right more than other people have a right.“ Oh boy!

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

„I agree that other people have a right to manage this or do that or square around something or other, and that I have no business monkeying with it.“ Oh-oh!

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

Everywhere you look in this confounded, upset, cock-eyed society everybody is saying, „I don’t take any responsibility for this. And that’s not my fault. And that’s not my responsibility, and I’m not responsible for that, and I’m responsible for something or other“ and they get down to a level, they don’t even vote. That he don’t… he can’t even take that responsibility for having elected the government of the United States because they recognize it’s kind of specious. They realize they have the perfect innate ability to own an area the size of the United States and to be an area the size of the Unites States, and yet here they are, they won’t even participate and vote one vote. They couldn’t take the responsibility to that degree.

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

Now there are two ways that they do that. The fellow who was as big as the size of the United States would never go near a polling vault or a box – never. He wouldn’t vote, he… because he’d be into an agreement with all these other people who were voting and he wouldn’t see that. But on a lower level a person won’t vote simply because they won’t take the responsibility for who is president. And that’s way down.

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

And everywhere you look, „I don’t have the right to do this, I don’t have the right to do that.“ There’s a screwball attorney uh… who is uh… fouling up like a fire drill – some little hick town someplace. Uh… and… and he’s busy trying to figure every way he can figure to lose some little two-bit court case – in Scientology. He’s doing this. Why, it’s the most fascinating thing you ever saw. These… these guys… these guys are so low they haven’t… they haven’t got any responsibility for any fellow human being, and they have no responsibility for themselves at all. Why? Because such a person has had it demonstrated to him very adequately by having his wife who was a cripple for many, many years made again to walk and play the piano.

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

Hah! He didn’t have any responsibility for her, did he? Didn’t have any responsibility for himself – couldn’t possible have done so. Why? Because it isn’t any responsibility of his that everything’s going wrong, and so forth. And this trial – he’s the only one that’s there. It’s up to him to say anything at all.

„Yeah.“

It’s very interesting, isn’t it? The guy could actually fail to recognize his beingness to the extent where he can’t even be the size of his own family on responsibility.

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

In other words, he couldn’t continue his support of something which has relieved him of the terrible burden of having a cripple in his family for the rest of her life. You understand, that would cost him just days and months and so on of misery on his own part.

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

And yet – yet that’s happened for him. And yet his level of responsibility is so low that he’s just figuring out any way he could possibly figure where Scientology could possibly go by the boards right in his own home town. Isn’t that fascinating?

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

His level of responsibility can’t be any size at all, then. ‘Cause he knows it works, it works for him, it works in his hands, he’s fully trained and yet he’s got to lose. Never had enough processing to put in your eye. But there… there’s… there’s a level of responsibility.

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

What is the essential difference between what I’m doing in res… in Scientology and other people? Is it because I’m brighter? No, no. Uh-uh. Is it because I… I… I know more? Naw. No there’s really only one thing, is I recognize that it’s… that it’s my job, I recognize anybody has this job. You see, anybody has this job. And there was this great big pair of boots and they were sitting right in the middle of this universe, and they were awfully big boots, and you could get down amongst them with… with telescopes. You could look the length and breadth of them and find absolutely nothing inhabiting ‘em.

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

And it says in these boots, it just simply said, „These are the boots which go down a road which leads out of this joint.“ And other people had been diving spaceships through them and playing hopscotch in them and… and so on, when they ever did see them, and so on. They were sitting right there.

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

They sat on the doorstep of every door that has ever been covered with crepe. They sat on the doorstep of every bank that ever reneged on a pledged agreement or refused a loan to somebody who was desperate. They sat on the doorstep of every church which itself was pretending to take vast responsibility. They fell across every single boulevard and progress that Man ever thought he could make. He could go ahead and take responsibility for destroying culture, but not for helping a single individual in it. Ho!

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

Fascinating! Why, those boots – well, you look at these boots, and they… they weren’t even big boots. They were little boots – little kids’ boots. Wasn’t anything to them. And what’d you do? You just threw some space out that big, that’s all. I mean, you narrowed the space down to the universe of one man and you found out he was a highly representative man, and then you took a look. The boots were very wearable.

„No, I can’t do that. I…“

And they’re very, very simply boots. But what do you know? These boots have a catch to them. They aren’t just one man’s boots. They were every man’s boots. And because I assayed to take a few steps in them and square them around and find out where the road was and what leather they were made out of, didn’t absolve a single individual who cared to benefit from those boots from wearing them. And that is the grimmest joke of all.

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

A person has to come up the scale so that he can take responsibility for himself and all of his fellows and the whole cock-eyed condemned universe before he can walk down that road out. Isn’t that fascinating?

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

He can’t even run his engram bank unless he says, „It’s my business and I mean to make it so.“ Isn’t that interesting? Because he’s down tone scale on inhibited, he knows all knowledge is inhibited, he knows all things are inhibited, he knows every thing he is scare, he knows death is inevitable, he knows all these things. He knows he has no space. He knows that life is an object, not an animate, glorious thing. And as long as he knows that, then he will know no more. And at that level one knows practically nothing.

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

The bank will sit there and some of the little incidents in it might be quite bright and it might be interesting. But boy! is it of narrow scope! It’ll be a little tiny bank.

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

Those great big ridges standing out there have to be handled by a big guy, if you’re going to handle them all the way. Now we have the modus operandi of how you get to be a big guy. There isn’t any gimmick factor whereby you all of a sudden discover you have to make up your mind to be self-determined.

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

You could take a preclear by the nape of his neck and hold him up there and bang his head against the wall with these techniques until he is cleared – if you start him on the line, you never have to explain a thing to him. He’ll finally wind up, but he’ll never walk out of this universe with your help. He never will.

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

He’ll only walk out of this universe if you permit him to recover enough force so that he can have responsibility for what’s going on.

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

There isn’t any hidden gimmick; there isn’t anything else he has to think; there isn’t anything he has to believe in, really, to amount to anything to go this way. And you can boot him up this line quite artificially, but what you’re really doing is taking him and putting these boots on him. He has to be fitted with these boots and these boots are called Responsibility.

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

The ability to handle force and take the responsibility for the use of it, the ability to create and handle space of any dimension and take the responsibility for handling it.

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

He’ll find himself going up the line automatically. There isn’t any funny little gimmick on the thing. It’s just a grim joke you’re playing on him. He thinks he’s been diving and ducking and jumping into the weeds and hiding under the house and so on. And he says, „Well, this is just another way to hide under the house“ – you’ve got him by one ankle; you start pulling him out.

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

And what do you know? He has to stand eventually. Not by any determinism of his own, really, if you really wanna make it that way. He’ll be standing out in the bright sunlight fully visible before he goes anyplace. He’s gotta be able to take responsibility for all enforcement, and all desire way up the line, and all space before he’ll walk any place.

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

So we’ve got that scale going back and forth, and up and down and we find out that there is a bigness which has to grow in the person. And if you don’t see that bigness growing, he’s not on his way out.

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

And the difference between the preclear that has to be chained down to have the boots put on him and me is, is I never wanted to be a slave and I never had to be. That’s all. I never agreed.

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

It was very interesting – somebody was talking about science fiction the other day, I wondered how much of all this was science fiction.

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

Well, there’s science fiction and science fiction. Some science fiction’s bad, some science fiction’s good. Unfortunately, for your sakes, this isn’t fiction. I wish it were. If it were just a pleasant afternoon, we could all go on being slaves.

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

But unfortunately – unfortunately it doesn’t happen to be fiction. Like the professor – I mean, the chair of physics up there said, „The diabolical accuracy of these predictions will be borne out by the most exacting research and investigation.“ Well, they’re diabolical because they take slaves away from those who would have slaves. And they set man free. And they’ll even set men free who don’t want to be free at all. And I think that is the most… grimmest jest.

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

And when it comes to… when it comes to any of these techniques, any of these techniques, they… they add up all the way up – something I talked to you about before, time and time again – uh… freedom. Freedom.

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

And that freedom is lots of space and ability to use it. That’s freedom – that’s all. That’s all freedom is. It’s… it’s exactly what it says it is. It is the most idiotically literal thing imaginable – freedom. Lots of space and the ability to use it.

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

And then complete freedom is above the level of not needing space. And not even having to agree. That’s… that is above the level of freedom. That is cause itself. And you never saw cause itself ever being worried.

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

It… Prime Cause has nothing which could enslave it, except itself. Just like there’s really nobody ever going to really pick up this preclear and carry him out of this universe. Nobody’s ever going to do that. He can put boots on; he’ll still have that last mile he has to walk himself.

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

And that means that he’ll have to take responsibility for what he does and his force. And not only that, for everything that goes on around him.

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

And we look at the thing that does happen, we look at these people, we look at somebody – gee. He… all he’s got to do is walk into a court and put on the proper defense which has been outlined for him. But he says, „No“ – he can’t do that. He can’t do that. „That’s not possible because all is lost. We all know all is lost.“ He hasn’t taken responsibility for his own profession or his own pride in himself or anything.

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

What are we looking at? Carrion? That’s how low one can get and that is actually a degradation of sorts which goes below the level of being degraded; because a person who knows he is degraded isn’t very badly. It’s a person who’s terribly degraded and isn’t even vaguely aware of it that’s dead. And you can look around and see these people on every side. And they’re going through and they say, „Nobody has any right to give me any responsibility. I have no responsibility for anything. I… I take responsibility – I’m to blame.“ – something like that. „I’m responsible. This isn’t any job of mine.“

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

They’re going around like that. If you said to him, „Do you feel degraded?“ They’d say, „No no-no. Just now married to Marxism.“ The hell they are. They’re lower than the dogs, because they’re gone and they don’t even know they’re gone. And that’s the horrible part of being gone.

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

When one is all the way gone, he ceases to know anything at all. And he doesn’t even know he’s dead.

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

Now on this level, there you see that dwindling spiral adding up, adding up. And it’s the track of agreement all the way down the line. And the agreement leads from Desire to Enforcement to Inhibition in each case. And that requires force and space and as you go down that spiral, you’ll find out there’s less and less space, and less and less space and finally a solid object.

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

Let’s not have that solid object you.

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

Let’s take a break.

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

(TAPE ENDS)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Goodnight.
