It so happens when an individual receives a pain, or which is to say, he's got effort faced with counter-effort, he will give attention to that spot. This is a mechanism the body operates on. When you are hurt, you give your attention to what is hurting you. If you fail to do this, you won't survive as a physical body. The body won't survive, and this is nonsurvival.

So, there is what is known as a threshold of pain. This translates into the degree of attention which is attracted to the body. Pain becomes unbearable. The moment of unbearableness of pain is when all of one's attention goes into the effort to hold it back - pain is unbearable at that point.

After that point, one keeps his attention there but surrenders to it. So there's actually a precise point of effort-counter-effort where one distracts all of his attention to that point.

I am very happy to see you all and I'm very happy to be here in Phoenix,

And you'll find out that any sharp or severe counter-effort which a person has received in the past has invited his attention to that spot. In other words, his effort to do something about this counter-effort has gone to that spot. Therefore, in facsimiles you find that the attention assigned by the facsimile is toward the exact point of the counter-effort, and the action is toward arresting the counter-effort.

Maybe you'd like to know something about why, and what it's all about, and maybe get some straight dope.

Therefore, you actually have to distract the person's attention from the counter-effort in order to do something about the facsimile. The counter-effort is not going to come in any further. It's simply not going to come in any further as long as the preclear's attention remains there.

The whole plan of operation in the past two years has, in the main, been in the hands of, well, "business people," I think they call themselves, occasionally. And although I was not without influence in the organizations, and although I did not occasionally make mistakes in the organizations, which I very definitely did, at the same time my entire and complete concentration actually was on research - advancing the line of research.

Now, almost anyone in the normal band is engaged in holding back quite a few counter-efforts. All you have to do to convince a person of this is to say, "Now let's feel alive in your foot. Now let's feel alive in the other foot. Now let's feel alive in the right ear. Now let's feel alive in the left ear." And all of a sudden, bop! He - you will have gotten his attention off of some old facsimile, some counter-effort, that he has experienced in the past. And when you do, it will come in on him a little bit more.

During the first four or five months of Dianetics, it's very interesting that I didn't get one single scrap of new material down. Nothing. I got nothing written. And by October of 1950, although many new techniques had been developed, none of these had been codified into a publication of any kind, Everything that was being published was very old. This was October 1950. In October of 1950 I said, "I'm through with management; this is the end as far as management is concerned. Because it is impeding something which is far more important, and that is having techniques which work far, far better in more and more hands." Because by this time many occluded cases were turning up which were "uncrackable" by even the better auditors. It was up to me to find out what on earth I had been doing. This hadn't happened to me. And I found out that Dianetics itself was a sort of a crosswise education which would jam up a case.

Well, of course, you want this counter-effort to exhaust, and it's never going to exhaust as long as the individual has his attention centered on it. Of course!

So in October of 1950 I resigned from business and started in trying to back up enough to put techniques together. In December, early January - in December I tried to write Science of Survival in Los Angeles; I couldn't do it. So I went down to Palm Springs and started to write it. All hades started to break loose one way or the other in the field of management. I backed up, trying to write Science of Survival, clear to Cuba. That's a fact. And I sat down there and I wrote Science of Survival and I said, "There's a book. Okay. There's the Tone Scale. Okay. Now, what can I do to sort of bail myself out of this!" Because in my absence very many strange things had happened. And a fellow by the name of PurcelL had made an arrangement with one of the trustees of the old New Jersey Foundation to establish a Foundation in Wichita. They phoned the data down to me, and by this time I was pretty sick. And, as a matter of fact, chat's literally true. And I told Mr. Purcell that yes, it was all right with me. He had made some sort of a verbal statement to me, November before. He said, "If anything happens to the Foundations, if you loan the word Dianetics, its processes, and your name to one in Wichita - be very, very happy to straighten this out."

Now, the concentration of attention on counter-effort is the main mechanism of estimating what to do with effort. And when it gets up to the degree of pain - heavy counter-effort - attention becomes fixed.

So I thought this was fine and I got in there. And under this consideration that the word Dianetics, its processes and so on and my name would be loaned to a local Foundation, incorporation was drawn up there called "The Hubbard Dianetic Foundation Incorporated of Wichita."

If you've ever watched anybody being subjected to pain, you'll have - see that they fixed their attention on the point of impact of the pain and then successively, immediately after that, failed to keep their attention there, and their attention began to wander. And it wandered too much. They just went all over the place. Their body writhes and so forth - their attention goes all over the place.

One of the stipulations in this: that all debts were to be paid, all debts of existing Foundations and the entire business structure of Dianetics was to be straightened out.

Well, these things, conditions, exist in facsimiles. So in some facsimiles the pain is so intense and the counter-effort has come in so far that a person's entire and complete attention is wandering. It's all over already. And what you're going to try to do to resolve that counter-effort is get him to fix his attention on the counter-effort itself. And when you can fix his attention on it, then something will happen to the counter-effort and it will change.

June, July, August came without this having happened. And one day I was very startled to find out that the Hubbard Dianetic Foundation Incorporated of Wichita, Kansas, was in receivership. I was sitting over in Manney's print shop over at the Wichita Publishing Company. "They're in court; they're in receivership," There was no defense put up against receivership. I was stunned. So I worked everything I could possibly work in order to get things down on the line, because I found out that any document or contract which I had tried to issue and get agreed upon had not been issued properly. Everything was fouled up like fire drill, as we used to say in the Navy.

But when the person's attention in the facsimile is riveted on the counter-effort, you've got to get his attention off the counter-effort in order to get the counter-effort to work out.

In September, I told the Foundation there that I was going to leave - they were kaput as far as I was concerned - unless they snapped to on an agreement. And they finally issued me a paper which stated in so many words that Dianetics, Hubbard, processes, were on loan to the Hubbard Dianetic Foundation of Wichita, Kansas; that all my copyrights were mine, and that nobody of the old Foundation (it was signed by the remaining trustee of the old Foundation) and the new Foundation (as represented by Don G. Purcell) knew of anything that would impede this or knock it out or do anything to it at all, And they signed that paper.

Now, therefore, as an auditor you have to either try to attract your preclear's attention to where the counter-effort is, or get his attention off of where the counter-effort is. If he's very low on the Tone Scale, it will be a matter of trying to attract enough attention to the point of the counter-effort that he can do something about it - that you can do something about it and drive it out, exhaust it and get the effort and counter-effort out of the facsimile.

October: I couldn't get any accounting. November: I was flat broke. December: I couldn't get any accounting. I couldn't find out what was happening in the Foundation, January came and things had gotten so bad on a businesswise standpoint that I was completely out of communication with the Foundation. I tried to install a school. They didn't want my school; they thought something or other, something or other.

But if he's up the Tone Scale, his own effort is more and more fixed - his attention is more and more fixed in that facsimile on the counter-effort.

Well, it was pretty rough. I see two or three faces here who know what I am saying is fairly straight.

If you want to run an experiment on this, just follow it out on the basis of "Let's feel your attention in your left foot. Let's feel your attention in your right foot. Let's feel your attention in your right hand. Let's feel your attention in your left hand." And first thing you know, the individual will have a counter-effort come through on him.

And when it came to the 12th of February, I threw in the sponge and I said, "1 am resigning from this organization because I don't know what's going on, and I don't want to be liable any further for this organization." And by the way, I'd contemplated this since early January.

The counter-effort will happen in two ways: If he's low on the Tone Scale, at the moment you put the attention on his left hand, if the counter-effort is actually running through his left hand, when his attention goes on the left hand, he will find the counter-effort there. And he'll suddenly experience a pain in his left hand. He, for the first time, is experiencing this counter-effort which has been going through him for a long, long time in the facsimile. On other people, you start shifting their . attention around and suddenly the counter-effort will come through.

And the only thing that happened after that, actually, was the fact that all of a sudden the Foundation went into bankruptcy. Bang! It went into voluntary bankruptcy. This wiped out every dime the Foundation owed me. And by the way, that was the total indebtedness of the Foundation - was money owed to L. Ron Hubbard, because Don G. Purcell had taken any monies he'd put into the Foundation, and he had that in the form of a corporate note. And although he carried it on record, that was it. And there was one small debt of five thousand dollars owed to a lady who was - to whom Dianetics is very indebted, and that's Mrs. Carney, now Mrs. Campbell, back East. She gave the Foundation five thousand dollars to start it out with. And that note had been repudiated; nobody had even corresponded with her. So that appeared.

Well, by fixing and unfixing the person's attention on various parts of the body, by working them back and forth, back and forth, and around and around, getting their attention off and on to the part that is being affected, you will be able to exhaust the effort and counter-effort out of the facsimile and render that facsimile null and void. You can also run emotional curves until the facsimile is null and void, because it's emotion that is actually causing this person to hold on to it. Okay.

Then there was a bogus suit on it, that nobody ever intended to do anything about, on a rental property (this was all in litigation - never would have come up) and my note and any and all sums owed me for books and royalties and so on.

Now I want to give another demonstration here.

Well, there went the Foundation. In the interim I'd started an organization known as "Hubbard College" in an effort to try to teach this subject properly. And a very short time ago I started to negotiate a lease on Hubbard College there in Wichita, I don't know what they're doing. We - Jim and I are not responsible for its management. We hope they will go ahead and conduct a good and adequate professional school and that they will be able to bring people up to the point where they can be granted a Bachelor of Dianetics.

LRH: Do you have any counter-efforts hitting you? Right now?

But as far as the old Foundation is concerned, the word Foundation itself and the other words connected with Dianetics with which you're familiar - these words happen to be, fortunately, personal property. They are maybe contestable in court, but my name isn't contestable in court. That is to say, whether or not I own the name Hubbard and can loan it to organizations, that's not - that's not contestable.

PC: Yeah. Yeah.

And copyright - US government copyright licenses are not contestable. That is to say, an organization either is licensed to publish your books or it isn't. And when an organization that isn't licensed to publish books insists on grabbing manuscripts and publishing them and even issuing copyrights on them for themselves, they have let themselves in for a misdemeanor called fraudulent copyrighting: US Government Statute Copyright Law number blankety-blank-blank; date: something-or-other, 1919.

LRH: Face?

And although you see an enturbulence in this quarter, this move of moving out of Wichita and into an area where Dianetics could be stabilized has been under contemplation for a long time. Ross and I have talked about it; a lot of us talked about it.

PC: No.

Another thing is, Wichita is a bomb target. It is sitting in the middle of all of these beautiful defense plants and airplane plants and so forth, and Dianetics doesn't belong there.

Commentator: Drop of one full point.

So, it has been my contention for a long, long time that Dianetics did not have to be sold at one gallon of blood per lesson. And that's one of the main faults I had with it. The continuing expenses in Dianetics are actually the expenses of research, and out in the field, the expenses of living and maintenance of staff and offices on the part of auditors who are doing good in the public. Now these things can be paid for.

LRH: Chest?

So, the research line is paid for by books - when and if I can collect my royalties off an organization publishing them. So we're in the publishing business right here in Phoenix.

PC: No. LRH: Knees?

Of course, the old books have a lot of material in them, but new books have that material codified and assembled more properly. And these new books I am writing at a speed that I have to keep a water spray going on the back end of my typewriter to keep it from smoking and the platen burning up!

PC: No.

And we've got - the first issues of these books will be out on a mimeograph machine. Jim, without using a blackjack or anything - I don't know how he did it - suddenly appeared on the scene with a big electric mimeograph machine. That's lifeblood as far as we're concerned, We're doing it all with nothing - from scratch.

LRH: Feet?

This is just as bad, by the way, as Dianetics, 1949, when I would go around to various doctors and associations and try to interest them in this and say it can do something for you. And I'd go home and I would break out my typewriter and feed in a few pages of paper, and I would write a story for somebody and get in a check and do some more research in Dianetics. And we're just about on that parity of operation.

PC: No. Back up a little bit. Gluteus maximus.

But we've got something more; we've got something a lot more. Going to put in a free course in Phoenix, somehow or other, by some necromancy. Now this is quite important. I talked to Gordon over here, and Gordon - we talked about a summary course and so forth - I didn't hear much more about it and I kept thinking and thinking and thinking, and all of a sudden it occurred to me, "What is one of these courses?" Well, if you have a package of tapes which are highly codified and they are accompanied by text for each tape, and you've got a schedule and somebody to operate a tape machine and to announce what this next lecture is and what the study period is and what the seminar question is, you can have a classroom which is practically self-operative.

Commentator: Needle continues to drop.

ALongside of that you run another classroom that plays nothing but an introductory lecture, and this introductory lecture just goes off every night on schedule. It's sort of like you set a time clock and it keeps going off on schedule. Now, that introductory lecture is for people who just wander in and want to know what is Dianetics. I don't care where these quarters are, if they sit out here in a tent or if we set it up alongside of a power line out here in the hills. We're talking about - we're talking about this kind of an operation. It's just someplace where somebody could go.

LRH: The gluteus maximus.

All right. There we put in such an institution as a little psychiatric museum eventually, and we put in a ... (laughter) That's right. And we put in displays of this and that and pictures of auditors and stuff, you know. And people walk in there and there's some free handouts that they can pick up and that's about the end of that.

PC: Penicillin shot. (laugh)

And over here - here runs this course. And this course takes two weeks. And this course has a day school and a night school. And the day [night] school is organized on this basis: that it starts in from 8 o'clock - or, pardon me, about 7:30 at night - and plays on through till about 11:30 with some fifteen-minute breaks, and it just runs off three tapes of the Summary Course.

LRH: Oh, you got a penicillin shot.

Those three tapes are played during the daytime; it starts off about 8 o'clock in the morning: hour's study period, hour's lecture, hour's seminar. And it just keeps going this way so that you've got three tapes. The day school is different in that it has study periods and seminars. The night school would actually be a review.

PC: Yeah.

And in this wise, I think we can put together a two-weeks' professional course (and this - I said "professional course"; actually, it's a summary course) which will just go off on schedule: every two weeks it'll start and every two weeks it'll end. And it'd just keep going like that.

LRH: On one side of the gluteus maximus?

Now, this makes auditor technique rehabilitation a very, very simple matter. How do you go to this course? Well, you walk in and you sign a little book and it says "student roster book." And there's - at practically cost - would be the pamphlets, because they take printing. You pick up the pamphlets that go with the lectures and you just go there every morning, and at the end of two weeks you've gone through a complete review course.

PC: On the right half - the right half.

This, by the way, would not interfere with somebody teaching a professional course, nor would it even interfere with somebody in some city teaching a summary course. But it'd certainly make it possible for an auditor, at relatively little speed, to drift through here and pick up what he had to know.

LRH: On the right half. Put your attention on the left half.

Furthermore, you realize that this course does not offer any processing to anybody. People come in, they start through this course; they don't know anything about this, so it immediately makes a call on the initiative of the auditors in this area. It says they better have just an association of some sort and a directory, because people are going to go to that course and they're going to say, "I should have some processing on this." In other words, there'll be processing that'll have to be done in connection with this course. Nobody wants anything to do with it. You put together a little association directory service, and my office answer the phone for you and refer. Gordon would do the same thing. It's just simple.

PC: Put my attention on the left half.

In other words, we're trying to provide a facility.

LRH: Put your attention on the left half.

Now, another thing is, is your introductory lecture. We're going to be throwing handbooks over the air - that is to say, probably going to be selling some Handbook for Preclears over the air, something like this, to interest people. Your introductory lecture, if it just runs off every night, one way or the other, will find people coming in there. There again your auditors' directory service and so forth could pick up. This is just service, that's all.

PC: That's a little difficult to do.

The only way that this thing could be supported, of course - if there's enough book and psychometer sale in order to pay the rent and pay the salary of the tape runner - that's about all that you'd ask of this thing, and I think in that wise the course would balance itself out.

LRH: Well, let's put your attention now on the top of your head.

Now, this does not interfere with - and I'm sure you'd agree if you thought this over - with any existing facilities in the area. Quite on the contrary. It'd probably pick them up if anything, since nobody is giving away anything anybody's selling in the area. We're not giving away any auditing and so on, but we're stimulating interest. We have another project going, and we're ready to cut loose on this project just as soon as we can. Los Angeles is probably going to hit Arizona in an atom bombing. The Southwest is probably a part of the country to which many people will drift (after an atom bombing). There's no reason why Arizona should suddenly have to roll up its sleeves and start working to support everybody who drifts in on Arizona.

PC: Okay.

H. G. Wells in Things to Cone solved this problem merely by shooting all these wayfarers who came down the highway. (audience laughter) But we can make it more or less pointless if we could do something like this - we have this already in the mills - we have some very key personnel in civil defense alerted on this and uery, very interested.

LRH: Let's put your attention on your right foot.

Organize an organization called "The Samaritans, Incorporated." And we issue them a card. We sell them, if you please, food, clothing and shelter on their arrival in this area, and we try to make it possible for - after a short period of time - for there to be some kind of work or activity here which could keep them eating in the event of an atom bombing. Fairly sensible solution to this.

Commentator: Needle is now rising back to the original position. (pause) Needle continues to rise.

By the way, I'm not terribly foreign to this, because I'm a graduate of the Princeton military school of government on civil affairs, which is the naval version of civil defense. It was highly specialized. And it's going to be a big problem. We'd just be inundated by people in Arizona if they aren't very much on the ball about doing something about it.

LRH: Left foot.

Well, what happens is we can sell this. We can sell a card that says, "This entitles you to food, clothing and shelter, and it's got your thumbprint on it. All you have to bring is your thumb. And you report in on this area ..." Particularly between here and Los Angeles you can put in some gasoline and water stations. And you start making a storage - that is to say, a dump, actually, of supplies. This card isn't cheap. But it's going to take a lot of people to get this organization - keep it rolling, and work with it and stay with it.

Commentator: It's still rising.

And it's not too far out of line with Dianetic goals. One of the main reasons I thought about this is auditors in this area. We need things to do, we need something that produces income, and I've been trying to solve this problem any way I could. I, for some reason or other, feel responsible on it.

LRH: You gotten a somatic in that puncture yet?

Now, what do you think of these plans? We're trying to pull a hill here. All the funds that were available in Dianetics are gone by the boards. There isn't any. For instance, my books that are being sold out of Wichita right now - if I ever see a dime out of those, I will be very, very surprised. Very surprised.

PC: A somatic in the puncture, yeah.

This is a new page, a new show. And I'm personally - I'm very glad of it because a lot of the people in management and so forth this took off the back of our necks will be very healthy to Dianetics. Don't think that it won't. I'm looking at a couple of faces here that just quit cold on account of management in another area.

LRH: Yeah. You're getting a somatic in the puncture?

We don't want management; what we want is action and activity. And I think we'll be able to pull the hill here pretty well. I don't want any existing organization, planning agency or anything to get the idea that we are trying to steal any shows. Let's get together and cooperate for a change.

PC: Yeah, when I take my attention off these extremities, yes.

We got a terrtfic target; we got a big target. I looked at a map of the United States the other day and it said that there were a hundred and fifty million people in it and there was a lot of land there and so on.

Commentator: Needle wavering; begins to drop.

As a unified, solidified front without all this argument, and without some wild man someplace telling us how Dianetics has got to make a million bucks a minute so that he can buy six more Cadillacs for his wife or something - we can make this show run. I know that. Do you know I've never been able to give Dianetics away? Every time I've ever tried to give Dianetics away, the MEST keeps moving in under it and then you start having trouble with the MEST, And if you just remember not to take too much of the MEST, you're all set. But it's very dangerous. It's very dangerous, for instance, to walk down the street and start tapping people on the shoulder who are crippled or blind or something of the sort and start doing something for them, because if you start such an operation, it's just like chain fission. I don't know how many of you ever had nerve enough to do that. Just walk down the street and tap somebody on the shoulder that's walking along on crutches and say, "My address is so-and-so. Come on over to the house," And he says, "Why?" "Well, I'm going to take you off your crutches." "What are you, a preacher or something of the sort?" "No? No, I operate in the field of science - has to do with the mind. And we do this quite regularly. Now, what is your phone number just in case you don't come?" He'll give it to you. They've spooked.

LRH: Yeah. You get a somatic in the puncture, okay.

When they appear, you take them off the crutches. You could even take only 50 percent of them off the crutches and you'd be in fine shape.

PC: Yeah, in the Puncture. Yeah.

Now, I wanted to give you just a brief briefing on what we're trying to do, and not only what we're trying to do, what's happening, because this stuff that I'm talking to you about is happening like chain Lightning. Going to need help. And the most help we can need and the most help we can use is a good, smooth, calm level of agreement and some ARC for a change all across the line. Good, calm activity, because I am sure that in Dianetics we have a target and a goal that'll fit any capability or skill which we have in all the field of Dianetics. I know this.

LRH: That's right.

In the past, what people continually tried to do was pull it all together here, and say, "It's mine! It's mine; I own it! This is it, and you'll have to give me a million dollars before you get this thing," and so forth.

[to audience] You can see by that needle there, that this somatic's wearing out. His tone's coming up.

Dianetics, to a very, very limited extent, is mine by sole virtue of production. I've tried to keep it on an even keel so I could keep producing. I don't think anybody will argue about my production. And that's just the sole reason why I exercise any ownership in this field. I don't want to see somebody messing it up before I get into a situation where I can say, "Okay, that's it; now I'm going fishing!" You see what my stand is.

[to pc] Okay, get your attention in your throat.

Well, I imagine - I don't know, I haven't seen any of the mailings out of Wichita; I don't know what's going on in Wichita - I imagine some of you are confused to some degree about all this. But I can assure you of one thing: you're nowhere near as confused as I am about it!

PC: Throat. That's the place where the penicillin was given for - throat infection.

You get up one morning and somebody is on the phone saying, "We just went into bankruptcy. What are you going to do now?" I say, "You what? Why?"

LRH: Well, get your attention in your throat. All right. Get your attention in your left shoulder. Right shoulder. Right hand.

And they say, "Well, there's just hundreds of thousands of dollars in debts." Grim!

Commentator: Very, very small area of the tone scale.

Well, all to that - due respect, let's get on to something constructive.

LRH: Left hand.

Some of you have listened, lately, to the Summary Course. Now, that was a pretty brutal rundown - that many lectures at that rate of speed.

Commentator: Just a slight fluctuation of tone.

Female uoice: Uhh.

LRH: [to audience] You note here, you can give these fairly rapidly one right after the other, for an excellent reason is, the attention will just flick on the shift and go into the member named and won't stay there very long.

Yeah, "Uhh" is right.

Commentator: Tone arm tending to rise.

But I am very glad - I am very glad that you listened to that rundown for this adequate reason: because if we start putting in a course which is about the same size and shape as that course, which is running off slowly, and people start walking into this course that want some tips or they want a little - buy some processing from you or something of the sort - you are an advanced line, now, that knows what this thing consists of. And that's absolutely necessary before you suddenly start something running. Because don't worry, you'll be drifting around the classroom, and they'll be saying, "Oh, you're an HDA. Oh you - you know about this stuff?" And you can say, "Well, ..." (audience laughter)

LRH: It'll go right straight back. The second he's aware of the fact that a pain is coming in at the area you're trying to work a counter-effort out of, soon as you get the - preclear becomes aware of it, he transfers his attention back to that immediately. What you're trying to do is distract him off the area - off the area enough to let the counter-effort come all the way through and wear it out. Pretty simple.

I'm not saying that you didn't know about it all before, but this particular package called this Summary Course is a codification which makes it, actually, to a large degree a different sort of a looking article, because it's all packaged up - it's got cellophane on it now - and it says over here that this is A and B and C and D and E and F.

[to pc] All right, now I'm going to go through the nerve spots.

Now, the lectures and so forth that some of you poor people have listened to by me... You come down on Monday night down in Wichita there and say, "All right, now it's like this" See? And I tell you, "Well now, it's so-and-so and so-and-so, and the Code of Honor Processing, and you know about Effort Processing, but we'll cover that next week," so to speak.

Commentator: Needle dropped on that statement.

Nothing organized: it went E, G, X, Q, B, C! And I was listening to some of those tapes and trying to look them over as to sequence, and boy, there was just nothing in sequence all fall! There was nothing but new data, new data, new data, new data - it just kept falling down. Well, I can't help it; it kept falling into my lap. And the only thing I could do was to give it to you as I got it.

LRH: All right, let's get the center of the forehead - some feeling of center of the forehead now.

Well, I had a little time to breathe because something very significant has happened. We have moved out of the mechanics stage. Mechanics are buttoned up. Nothing mechanical about the mind or thought has now shown up for about two and a half or three months.

PC: Little somatic there...

Mechanics, I'm talking about: "How do you process? How do you handle a facsimile? What is a facsimile? What is emotion? What is effort? What kind of efforts are there? How do you handle these? How are they packaged up? What is unconsciousness? What is ..." You know? Well, I'm talking about mechanics. There it is; there's nothing been added to it. That Monday night's lecture when I said, "Well, there's thought, emotion and effort," from that time on, it - just within two or three weeks - formed a button-up, and that was the package. Now it's sort of rote. These are the tools.

LRH: Little somatic there.

We have proceeded, now, just using these tools. What is the function of the mind, and how does it operate and how do you put it back into another form of operation? Or how do you put it over here into a completely different form of operation? We've answered those questions.

PC: ... when I turned on the awareness full there.

But by taking these processes - I've gone exploring, and all I'm looking at now and all I'm working with is incident - incident in the history of man. What are the incidents that are important, and what's the history of man? And that's all I'm looking at as far as a technique of processing. As far as thought, emotion, effort, engrams, all the rest of this stuff - locks, secondaries, how do you run them, what are the techniques to be applied and so on? Complete package. I don't think we'll see any change in it. I haven't seen any reason to change it for a long time.

LRH: All right. Do you know where the vagus nerve is - right in the middle of your rib cage, below the solar plexus?

So, there we have all the tools and how you use them. Now, it's just a question of this: Are there some incidents around to which you can apply these tools which suddenly bring a tremendous amount of resolution into a case? Now, what's the incident? What is the best incident to run? That's the whole thing: what is the best incident to run?

PC: Solar plexus, uh-huh.

And I'm doing you a map; it's called a track map. And I've been working on it rather constantly here. And it just has to do with just about all the incidents that are important on the line.

LRH: All right. Get your attention in your solar plexus. Under your right armpit. Under your left armpit.

That is to say - now these are being checked against an electropsychometer, they're being checked against preclears, and they're being checked against a very large body of data. So all we're doing is selecting targets, selecting targets. And you'll find out that an electropsychometer becomes more and more important to you because you have these incidents. There's this type of incident and that type of incident and that type of incident. And to get your swiftest results you just say, "Incident One, Two or Three?" You throw a guy on the psychometer and you - it's "Two." "Ah, Two." You don't have to worry about it any further - you can run "Two."

PC: It's warm under the pits.

Furthermore, the incidents we're getting into are terrifically standardized. Boy, have there been a lot of 1.5's or something back on the - boy, really routine. You know, they said, "Well, this is the way we go," and then they handled the civilization or they handled this just exactly in this fashion and they didn't vary a hair, Like Service Facsimile One: that thing is just gorgeous as a piece of routine.

LRH: Yeah.

There's two kinds of it - the wide-open case has one kind and the occluded case has another kind - two kinds. Variation very slight. The incident varies from person to person, really, only with the intent with which he went into the incident. Some people went into it saying, "Urrrr? I'm really going to find out about this and tell everybody." And some went in and said, "Oh goody, goody, I'm going to - I'm going to become very religious." And some went into it saying, "Well, what's the use?" and so on, So you get this intent underlying the incident and so the incident changes in complexion and its operation on the individual, That's about all there is to it.

LRH: All right. Get your attention on the nerve cord that goes down the right side of your neck. Left side of your neck. The right side of your neck. Left side of your neck. Spine - attention on the twelve nerves of the spine. Let's get the lower area of the spine now. Attention on the middle area of the spine.

So, we're getting targets, Targets. Now, as soon as I get this track map drawn and a little book called "Principal Incidents" - it's a description of each one of these incidents, and each type of incident that fits on the track map.

PC: Hm...

Well, I wish I had more time to do this job because I would do the whole job if I could and finish it all off. Well, instead of this, what I'm going to have to do is issue the track map to you guys and issue these books and let you do some checking. In the meantime the thing will be going out to the field, so that we'll have track map issue five, track map issue six, issue seven. The incidents which appear on there will always be there, but there may be some spook incidents in between that have greater importance. And the outline of the incidents, of course, will vary if auditors will just jot down what their preclear is running, regardless of whether it's little green men suddenly growing horns or what it is, and send it in. In this way, let's get a nice coordination, see?

LRH: That really came through, didn't it?

You see, we're looking at end of track right now on Dianetic research. We're sitting in a grandstand seat looking at end of track; it's coming right up. I don't know how many strings will be left undone after August, but I would say offhand that August is practically deadline, unless something like an atom bombing or something happens, of the sort. I can look at the scope of all this and I've been handling it for a long time, and I look at it and all of a sudden it's a sphere, It doesn't go off over thataway; it doesn't lead on and on. You don't keep looking over there at the horizon and then you run like the devil and you get over there and you see this big range of mountains and there's nothing there and you look and you see the next horizon and the next horizon and the next horizon. Well, what we've done is meet ourselves coming back and so we can do such an adventurous thing as drawing a track map.

PC: ... sitting uncomfortably.

And some more good news on this line of research: there are specific incidents on the track whereby the individual desired a certain thing to take place. The incident was such that he desired of his own free will - although he was forced to desire this, you might say - but circumstances were such that he was just forced to desire this. For instance, "to want experience." The individual wants experience. Well, that makes him start collecting these facsimiles, you know, and considering they're very valuable and holding them over here in a little ball.

LRH: Huh?

And there's incidents where he "wants to be together." And about the main reason to run these, it suddenly works out to a fact that there are only so many desires that are aberrative and, evidently, an individual at each point on the track has picked up another one of these desires until he's got all the desires to be aberrated. The main purpose in running these incidents, then, is to knock out this.

PC: I was sitting uncomfortably. I didn't know it till I did that.

For instance, why would a person want to be in a grouper? Well, you can hammer away at groupers and separate groupers and do things to groupers and just endlessly to some people, and they're still - the next week you see them, they've picked up another grouper. Now, why do they have this thing? Why do they want this track ballup? Because it boils down to the fact they must want it someplace.

LRH: Yeah. All right, upper spine. Center of your brain. All right, inside the knee.

Well, we go back on the track and we look and we look and we look, and finally in examining incidents we find out where they wanted to be a group - where they wanted to be a group. There is the grouper, because after that everything had a tendency to fall in on that point. That one gets restimulated, everything falls in on it. There's your grouping. You see how neatly this is working out?

PC: Which knee?

Another thing is you've had trouble in the past (person to person) with people, for instance, who were paralyzed from the waist down or paralyzed on one side or had a twitch or something. Wouldn't you love to have a - oh, three-, four-, five-hour technique that'd knock it out - something at the outside, three, four, five hours. Well, I'm looking right at that technique. It's very simple. It's just a new address of what we knew about theta, and it had to do with discovering what is the anatomy of the theta body. The anatomy of the theta hodv is a different subiect than the anatomy of the MEST body, and when examined you find out that the theta body monitors certain parts of the MEST body.

LRH: The nerve on the inside of the right knee. Nerve on the inside of the left knee. The left thigh. Nerves in the second joints of your fingers. Nerves in your toes.

What is the anatomy, then, of the theta body, and do you have to adjust anything in the theta body? Well, if you just adjusted something in the theta body instead of adjusting the MEST body, then the theta body would adjust the MEST body. Very simple. You just short-circuit this thing, in other words. Instead of working so hard on this MEST body and getting thoughts and incidents and so forth and what they're doing, what you do is work with the theta body to make it do it. And that's very simple: the anatomy of the theta body.

Commentator: Slight drop and then a full rise.

The next little trick that is coming up here very soon is a very fascinating little trick that I probably shouldn't mention. (laughter) What's the matter?

LRH: Nerves in your right big toe. (pause) You still getting that somatic?

Female voice: You're going to!

PC: Oh, the penicillin?

Well, as a matter of fact I almost didn't, because - looking at a fellow that I promised I wouldn't! Can I have that promise back?

LRH: Uh-huh.

Male uoice: Sure. All right.

PC: Well, now that you bring my attention to it, yes.

And that is to say, on the business of clearing; we're looking at the Theta Clear. The Theta Clear is a distinct possibility. It's so distinct as a possibility that I'11 give it about ten days for one to show up ...

LRH: Ah, we've got it down to a dispersed point now.

Male voice: Possibly.

PC: But it's not so strong.

.. something like that. Theta Clear.

LRH: All right. Move your attention from your head down to the shot area - head to the shot area. (pause) Tips of your fingers to the shot area. Just keep your attention shifting from the tips of your fingers to the shot area.

And a Theta Clear auditor can do almost anything he wants to do with a case. And the mechanics of how he does it are right now sitting in the form of notes on my desk. Provable. Very, very interesting. A Theta Clear auditor - that's what we want. We want an auditor to be able to walk down the street and see somebody who is having a bad time, who is cross or crippled or something of the sort, and the auditor say, "Whsssh!" - guy's all right! We want an auditor to be able to look at a little crippled kid in a school, and look at this little crippled kid and say ... And the little kid's not crippled anymore. That'd be an interesting phenomenon, wouldn't it?

PC: Makes the somatic stronger.

Male voice: Yes.

LRH: Sure. Soles of your feet to the shot area (pause) Bottom of your spine up to the brain and down to the shot area. Well, what happened there? Sudden charge?

Well, it's unbelievable; it's completely unbelievable - as unbelievable as Dianetics always has been. We want an auditor to be able to walk down a hospital ward between those beds and just have the patients get up as he goes by. Wouldn't that be interesting? And I'm not saying you'll all be able to do it in two weeks: some of you it'll take - three weeks!

Commentator: Needle took a full-point drop.

One of the boys was out to see me the other night - the other afternoon - said, "Sometimes I sit up in the air above my body," so forth. But he comes down again. Now, why does he come down? Very interesting.

PC: No, I happened to think of something, that when you said from the soles of the feet to the shot area, I did not go through the nervous system of the legs.

For instance, ask yourself this question: "Is there any reason why you had to have a body?" Hm? Stop and think about it for a moment: do you have to have a body? Is most of your time in this MEST universe dedicated to taking care of a body?

LRH: But...

Audience: Yes.

PC: I just shot it from the soles of the feet via the shortest ...

Well, it's the body that can't survive, so that brings about death. But that's all the failure there is, is death or pain. Isn't that right? So if you didn't have to worry about a body, but you had a body and so on, then you wouldn't have to be at all concerned about failure, because you couldn't fail because the worst that could happen to you is you'd be killed, and you can always pick up another body.

LRH: Mm-hm.

I see some of you girls now; somebody like Susan Hayward or Rita Hayworth, something, walk into a lecture and sit down. Look at them accusingly: "What did you do with her soul?"

PC: ... path in a straight line to the shot area.

Very tough method of identification, by the way, when people go around stealing bodies and things like that, I mean, I ... So we'll have to have a code of honor about this whole thing before I spring it. Well, of course, I'm just joking - or am I?

LRH: All right. How is the somatic?

Female voice: You're not.

PC: Oh, it's not bad.

Male voice: You're not.

LRH: Is it less now?

Mm-hm, that's right. You see, some of you have been very impatient about this and have been ramming around at it and yow-yowing a little bit in my way because we weren't there, we weren't doing this, and you knew innatively [ natively and innately - Ed.] and inherently we could. But you know, it was much better to build a very careful bridge to it. So we built a bridge through the MEST universe, we built a bridge through the MEST body, we built a bridge through what you might call "MEST theta," so on, up into the theta body, up into the operation of theta itself. And we are suddenly standing at a point where we're at theta, now, looking back. And it's an interesting viewpoint. For instance, your electropsychometer will tell you faster than scat that there is an enormous difference between a facsimile and a theta body. It'll tell you right now, because its needle operation is entirely different - entirely different,

PC: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Well, I just wanted to give you all the news. Supposing we take a two-minute breather and I'll give you an hour's talk on theta bodies if you want me to. You want me to?

LRH: Mm-hm. All right. Get the effort you had, at the time you were shot, to kick the shot back out again - all through the nervous system, the effort you had. From the extremities of the nervous system, push that shot right back out again.

Audience: Fine.

Commentator: Very slight fluctuation in the needle, now rising very gradually.

Okay.

LRH: Get it again. (pause) Again.

Commentator: Slight drop and more rise.

LRH: Getting your effort. Again. Extremities down and bop that shot out. (pause) All right. Now get your effort to hold on to the shot.

PC: That's the one that seems to be impeding me.

LRH: That's right. Now get your effort to hold on to that shot.

Commentator: Needle has dropped a full point and a half.

LRH: To have it - your effort to have it.

Commentator: Now rising. (pause) Slight drop, rising again.

LRH: Get your: effort to have it again. Get your stomach's effort to have it.

PC: That wasn't easy.

LRH: Mm, boy.

Commentator: Full point and a half drop, now rising.

LRH: Get your stomach's effort to have it. (pause) Get your back's effort to have it.

Commentator: Continuing to rise.

LRH: Now get the postulate you made that you had to have it.

PC: Ha-ha.

Commentator: Needle dropped full point and a half.

PC: Well, it had something to do with this gimmick I've been working on that penicillin is a food, not a drug. Remember I talked to you about it?

LRH: So you had to take some.

PC: I was trying to prove something.

LRH: Yeah. Did you turn on the sore throat to prove it?

PC: No. No, no that was ...

LRH: When's the first time you agreed to have a sore throat?

PC: Directly after the wisdom tooth was extracted. Somewhere about then.

LRH: You agreed to have that, huh?

PC: Wisdom tooth extraction?

LRH: Uh-huh.

PC: Yes.

LRH: Mm-hm. When did you first desire to have a sore throat in your life - this life?

PC: I'm trying to track this one down. It's a little hard here. I keep running into my mother with a streptococcus infection.

LRH: Did she do it to you?

PC: I get a flash of "yes," but I don't know.

LRH: Did she give you sympathy for it?

PC: For my sore throat?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: For my sore throat ...

Commentator: Needle now rising - drop, slight drop.

PC: Oh, the tonsillectomy, she gave me sympathy then.

Commentator: Rise in tone.

LRH: Mm-hm. Now let's get a time you gave some sympathy. Let's get the feeling of sympathy for somebody with a sore throat.

PC: Well, that would be for my mother.

LRH: All right. Let's get the feeling of sympathy. (pause) Get it again. (pause) And again. (pause) And again. (pause) All right, let's pick up the first time in this life you ever gave anybody sympathy and scan all the times you gave somebody sympathy right straight on up to the present time. Get the first one. Tell me when you're there.

PC: I got the first one.

LRH: All right. From there to present time, begin scanning sympathy. (snap)

Commentator: Between these questions the needle has been fluctuating approximately one goint on the scale. As the preclear scans through, the needle fluctuates. Now rising, now falling, but in a one-point variation on the scale.

PC: It keeps reverting back to the sympathy for self.

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Not much sympathy for others.

LRH: Mm-hm. Who used to tell you all you did was feel sorry for yourself?

PC: My mother.

LRH: Yeah. Who did you tell it to?

PC: Me.

LRH: Who else did you tell it to? Who have you criticized to this degree?

PC: Oh, that they felt sympathy for themselves?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Oh, preclears, you know.

LRH: Oh. All right. Let's scan this line. Let's pick up the first time you ever told anybody they were just sorry for themselves and feeling sympathy for themselves.

PC: I never told them, but, you know, the thought was there.

LRH: Well, get the overt thought.

PC: The thought, that's...

LRH: Get the overt thought. Get a first overt thought.

PC: Okay. All right.

LRH: Now, scan all such thoughts forward to present time. (snap)

PC: (pause) Okay.

LRH: Are you on an emotional balance right now? Are you being very carefully balanced emotionally?

PC: No.

Commentator: Needle is dropping one-half point.

LRH: What would happen if you changed emotion?

PC: I changed emotion?

LRH: Yes. What would happen if you changed to another emotion?

PC: Changed to a different emotion?

LRH: Yes.

PC: Nothing. I might shift centers, control centers.

LRH: Well, shift them.

PC: I wouldn't know which way to go.

LRH: Are you on the right side?

PC: Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

LRH: Is the right side mad at the left side?

Commentator: Slight drop.

PC: Conflict, there might be, yeah.

LRH: How about shifting to the left side?

PC: Shift to the left side.

LRH: Shift. (pause) This left side been awake lately?

PC: No.

LRH: Is this left side elsewhere?

Commentator: Very slight variation in the needle at this point.

PC: I've got a feeling it might be.

LRH: This left side have another organism it's taking care of?

PC: Yeah, might be. I don't know.

LRH: Might be, yeah. How about shifting center?

PC: Shifting to the center. No.

LRH: What turns on?

PC: Oh, there's a head somatic there.

LRH: You have a head somatic there?

PC: Yeah, on the - right in the center. See, it goes right down the face. You know, center of the face ...

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: ... the nose, the place where that pituitary and pineal and so forth is.

LRH: Mm-hm. All right, let's catch the bap now right in the middle of the chest. The bap in the chest.

Commentator: Half a point drop.

PC: I get - i get it in the stomach first.

All right. Get it in the stomach. You got it?

PC: Sort of, sort of. Sort of.

LRH: All right. How does the top of your head feel at the moment you get it in the stomach?

PC: Oh, that's - it's - it's pain - a somatic there right now.

LRH: All right. How do your knees feel at the moment you get it in the stomach?

PC: They shake.

LRH: All right. Let's get that. How do your feet feel at the moment you're getting it in the stomach?

PC: They are sweaty, hot, burning.

LRH: Okay. How do your hands feel at the moment you get it in the stomach ?

Commentator: Four-point rise, then a drop.

PC: Sweaty, nervous and twitching.

Commentator: Now dropping.

LRH: All right. How's the middle of your back feel at the moment you get it in the stomach?

Commentator: On this question, point - four-point drop.

PC: It curved in.

LRH: [to audience] Any of you with a cough out there, you might as well do this, too.

[to pc] Curved in?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Is it wearing out on the stomach? Or is it getting sharper?

PC: It's wearing out some ...

LRH: Or are you letting it do anything?

PC: I'm directing attention to the areas you name.

LRH: Okay. What's happening to the stomach somatic?

PC: It seems less.

LRH: Seems less?

PC: Somewhat less.

LRH: Good. Good. All right, let's get it right here on these two neck cords at the back of the neck. How do they feel at the moment you get it in the stomach?

Commentator: Needle has settled down and varying only slightly, approximately at one quarter of a point.

LRH: They move in some direction?

PC: I don't seem to be able to pick those up. Wait a minute, wai - wai - wai ... There's a lot of confusing head pain, that is not localized.

LRH: Was the head shot first?

PC: Got a flash of "yes."

LRH: Is this Facsimile One?

PC: Yep, I should guess. Seems like it's the onlr thing it could be.

LRH: Mm-hm. Are you on a postulate that you mustn't feel it?

PC: Yeah, in connection with the stage, so forth and so on.

Commentator: Five-point drop.

PC: You see, all these somatics will turn on when you get on the stage. Stomach, whap; knees, bang. So they teach you tricks in the theater to ...

LRH: Is that by exhibiting yourself? Or appearing in public, or talking to the public?

PC: Talking to the public. Yeah.

LRH: Talking to the public is very bad, isn't it? Public assembly - mustn't do that.

Commentator: One point - point-and-a-quarter of drop.

PC: Well, you learn tricks in the theater to handle this, you see.

LRH: Yeah. You got these tricks working?

Commentator: Half a point drop.

PC: I tried to - not to have them working for the sake of this interview.

LRH: Uh-huh. Does this interrupt your processing to any degree?

PC: There's one working right now. You see that light right there?

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Well, that's a spotlight. You can use the zones of concentration tricks on that. But ...

LRH: Sure. All right. Let's concentrate on the spotlight. What happened to the stomach somatic?

PC: It goes away.

LRH: Immediately! Good. Concentrate on the stomach. (pause)

Now I'll show you a little trick about facsimiles. Tell you, facsimiles have no finite size. Facsimiles are not as big as you are or as small as you are or twice as big as you are or anything of the sort. You can shift them at will. You can actually be any part of any facsimile. You can be a point of concentration in any part of any facsimile. Let's ...

PC: Yeah. Yeah.

LRH: ... let's take a time when you have a tooth - well, you can actually move over and - let's have a facsimile of a toothache or something. You could actually move over 100 percent into the middle of that tooth ...

PC: And get the full pain. Yeah, I'ue done that.

LRH: ... and be the ache.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Or you could even go this far: you could even move into one cell of the tooth ...

PC: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can do that.

LRH: ... and get anything that was on that cell and be all of you in the one cell. Very simple, very simple. And as a matter of fact, a method here - it's very interesting. I'm going to show you something that you may find very fascinating. Can you pretend that your skull, your actual skull, is out on - about a yard or two - well, let's say exactly five feet out from you to the right, to the left, back of you and in front of you and above you, so that you're inhabiting the middle of your skull?

PC: Yeah, sure. I can do that.

LRH: All right. And you've got this skull out there at this distance and your head is now ten feet wide and you're in the middle of it.

Commentator: A half-point of fluctuation now and persistent twitching as he asks.

LRH: All right. What gland are you? (snaps)

PC: Pineal. (laughs)

LRH: Okay. Now, let's now receive the full impact of everything hitting the pineal at the same time in Facsimile One.

Commentator: Two-point drop.

PC: With this extended skull I have here?

LRH: Yes, with the extended skull.

PC: Wait a minute. Let me get - it takes a second to get that concept again.

LRH: Yeah, all right, let's get the concept.

PC: There we go. (pause) There's some blockage to - to doing this, to - to feeling that full impact on the pineal up there. I guess it's ...

LRH: All right, Now, let's be just the front couple of cells there - the front cell on the pineal - the one that receives the frontal impact in the middle of all this. Now, all of you be the front cell there, of the pineal that receives the frontal impact on the pineal ...

PC: Okay.

LRH: ... with your skull that much bigger.

PC: Okay. Front cell of the pineal, right?

LRH: Yeah, let's get that full impact on the front cell of the pineal.

PC: (pause) Well, when I try to do that, I get - seem to be getting somatics toward the back of the head rather than the front.

LRH: Yes, isn't that strange?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay.

Commentator: The needle then reached its highest point of session, has now dropped back down two points.

LRH: All right. Let's be the back cell of the pineal now, with your skull actually ...

Commentator: It's rising...

LRH: ... extended way out there. Let's be the back.

Commentator: One point. One and a quarter points.

LRH: (pause) Let's be that back cell again and get the impact from in back. (pause) What did you get?

PC: Um, guess there's some blockage to being able to do that right there.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: It's quite easy in the front, but not so ...

LRH: Where did the pain come in from?

PC: I hit - I got it in back that time. I thought I'd get it in the front, but it didn't, you know, my ...

LRH: Okay. Yeah. Good.

PC: ... it didn't work out.

LRH: Now let's be on the right side of the pineal. Let's be a cell on the right side of the pineal, getting that impact coming in, with your skull way out there, and so forth - that impact.

Commentator: Needle dropped one point and now rising.

LRH: (pause) Got it?

PC: Yeah. I'm - I ...

LRH: You got it? (pause) Uh-huh, you got it.

PC: Yeah, I got it.

LRH: All right.

Commentator: Needle's fluctuating one point.

LRH: There we go. That was the one that was hung up on it. Yeah. Let's get it again. (pause) Now let's shift over and be the left side of the pineal.

PC: Seems a heavy effort seems to be pushing the head this way.

LRH: That's right. Let's shift over and be a cell, now, on the left end of the pineal, getting the side blast from the skull.

PC: I had a great big operation at the age of three to pull my head back up again.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Yeah. You can see the scars - look right there.

Commentator: Tone dropped two full points and has now come back up.

LRH: (pause) You having a hard time getting that side?

PC: Yeah, I'm getting it a little bit. Harder though.

LRH: Get it again.

Commentator: The tone has now risen; it's gone up a full point.

LRH: All right, let's shift back now. Let's be all the pineal in the middle of this great big skull and let's get the feeling "I want to have it," as the pineal.

Commentator: One-point drop

PC: You want the pain.

LRH: Yeah - no. "I just want this. I want this."

PC: Counter-effort?

LRH: No, yeah - "I want this." That's right.

PC: "I want this counter-effort ..."

LRH: You see, really, the plot is, let's say - you've been swindled, you see? But the point is, you started into this and you say, "I want all this." Now, just say to yourself, "I want this," and you be the pineal. And you say, "Boy, I really want this."

Commentator: Tone has now dropped three points.

LRH: (pause) Get that again. Now, get that postulate: "I really want this." As the gland...

PC: Well, the postulate is "I asked for this."

LRH: Oh, the postulate is "I asked for this" Is that immediately after the first one? (snap)

PC: Yeah, yeah.

LRH: All right, let's get the first one. "I want this."

PC: (pause) I want pain. I want to want it. I want to - well ...

LRH: You know what you want. (snap)

Commentator: Tone is now rising.

LRH: Now, get that postulate just before the first energy impact.

PC: Before. All right.

LRH: Just before the first energy impact. You be the pineal in the middle of this big skull, and just before this first energy impact, the moment before the first energy impact, and you've got a sort of a feeling there? You don't feel bad at all. You feel good - just before the first energy impact.

PC: Rather - rather powerfull.

LRH: Yeah. You feel pretty good, don't you, huh? All right, let's get that first energy impact from all sides simultaneously.

Commentator: Needle dropped a point as it was realised.

PC: ... reluctancy to do that.

LRH: All right. When I slap my hands together, get the energy impact from all sides simultaneously. (clap)

Commentator: The needle drifted up two points and then dropped five points. Now very slowly rising.

LRH: Okay. How are you feeling?

PC: Well, I-I don't know.

Commentator: Drop.

LRH: What's the postulate goes with it?

PC: "I don't know where I am."

LRH: Uh-huh. Okay ...

PC: "I'm lost, but I like it."

LRH: Uh-huh.

Commentator: Needle is wavering at the lower edge of the dial.

LRH: All right. Now expand yourself out to the point where the pineal is in the middle of the skull now.

PC: Out here.

LRH: Mm-hm. (pause) Now get the pineal back in the middle of the skull.

PC: Sort of have to go backwards to do that, you know.

LRH: Yeah, I know.

PC: Did we have to be aware before they could shoot?

LRH: Yeah.

Commentator: Needle's slowly rising, fluctuating, rising, averaging out to a very slow rise.

PC: There's a postulate "I wish I could get back."

LRH: Yeah, "I wish it hadn't happened" sort of thing.

PC: "I wish I could get back, I was so powerful."

LRH: "I asked for this."

PC: Well, that's unfair of you to say that. I mean, I'm trying to get back here, and you throw that one at me. (laugh)

LRH: Well, you've got the facsimile rearranged now so that you got a facsimile of you? Get the facsimile of you in the pineal in the middle of the head - just you.

Commentator: Tone continues to rise.

PC: Oh, I got a plan: I - instead of going back through it, I'11 just snap around in the front.

LRH: That's right. Okay.

PC: 1.1. (audience laughter)

LRH: All right.

& Just put down the cans and have a cigarette.

PC: Okay.

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

[Sounds like a different PC]

LRH: You felt an impact? Now, where was the impact felt when I asked you to do that? Was it felt over your body or in your head?

PC: Oh, head - head only.

LRH: It was felt in your - against your head?

PC: Uh...

LRH: Did you ...

PC: ... now you see, now you start talking about it, I get it on top of the head.

LRH: Uh-huh. Did you get it inside as the pineal? Did you get an allover somatic or did you get a...

PC: No, inside as the pineal. Yeah, I would be the pineal inside this skull. Now that - now wait a minute. I was - just my head was doing it inside ... I may have ...

LRH: Yeah.

PC: ... not done it all ...

LRH: That's right.

PC: ... so I see what I didn't do.

LRH: You see?

PC: I only put my head in the center of the skull ...

LRH: All right.

PC: ... I didn't put my whole body in it.

LRH: All right.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay, let's move all of you into the pineal now, again.

PC: Oh, that's different.

LRH: Just before it hit, all of you into the pineal. (pause) Move all of you into it.

Commentator: Sensitivity of the needle has been increased. Preclear rising on the scale.

LRH: All right. Now, let's get the first moment...

PC: Well, I'm not before the first moment yet, I don't think.

LRH: Well, let's get the first moment. You didn't like the idea of getting the first moment, I take it?

PC: Mm, that's right.

LRH: Uh-huh. Let's get the first impact of that pineal - now, first impact on the pineal - and you be the pineal.

PC: Wait a - well, I got to get the - take a little minute here and get to be the pineal again.

LRH: All right.

PC: You just don't do this sort of thing in everyday life in the twentieth century. It takes something to do it.

LRH: Well, you're doing it in everyday life now. (pause) You got it?

PC: Almost, the way it's going. (pause) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

LRH: Got it? All right. Get the first rap.

Commentator: Tone is starting to rise.

LRH: Now, is it simultaneous from all sides at once?

PC: Dah-dah-dat-da. I don't know.

Commentator: Tone is starting to rise - dropped.

LRH: Front/back, all top, all around at once, or is it selectively: one first and then the other one?

PC: Might be all at once, I don't know. Might be all at once.

LRH: All right, let's try and find out. I'll snap my fingers and it'll hit. (snap)

Commentator: Needle dropping two points.

LRH: All right. The first one will hit again. (snap)

Commentator: Slow rise of one point.

LRH: Be the pineal there in the center of the head.

PC: Yeah, I got out of it, see? It's - it's hitting the pineal.

Commentator: Continuing to rise.

LRH: (pause) All right. Let's hit it smack again, (snap)

PC: I don't actually want to be the pineal again, Ron.

LRH: Let's get in there.

PC: You see, there's a fear of getting in to be the pineal, you see, because, you get in there, boy, you're going to get hit.

Commentator: The needle is fluctuating about five points on the dial.

LRH: Now, let's get that - let's be the pineal - all of you. Now, first blow. (clap)

PC: Didn't get it.

LRH: No.

Commentator: No reaction.

LRH: First blow again, smack from all sides. (clap)

Commentator: Still no reaction; now a slight drop.

LRH: All right, let's get it now: the first one from all sides simultaneously, and get the drop in tone. Get the feeling of tone drop as that first one hits. (clap)

Commentator: Preclear jumped; the needle at full ...

LRH: All right, let's get it again: the tone drop as the first one hits (clap)

Commentator: Three-point drop, now rising.

LRH: The tone drop as the first one hits again. (clap) Let's be the pineal inside now - inside that skull. Now, let's get hit from all quarters simultaneously. And you tell me where the blows are this next time.

Commentator: Needle is fluctuating widely on the scale as this question's asked.

LRH: All right, the first one is now going to hit. (clap)

Commentator: Preclear jumps; needle drops four points.

PC: Can't particularly tell you where the blows are.

LRH: That's all right. The first one - the first impact now, and it's going to hit again. (clap)

PC: Near - around the back someplace.

LRH: Yep.

PC: Somewhere around the back - neck or someplace around that area.

LRH: All right.

Commentator: Needle going up four points.

LRH: Now, the first one is going to hit again. (clap)

Commentator: Now dropping five points.

LRH: First one's going to hit again. (clap)

Commentator: Preclear is doubling over.

LRH: First one is going to hit again. (clap) (pause)

Commentator: Needle has now swung clear to the left of the scale.

LRH: And again, (clap) (pause) Okay, what's the - get the tone drop now. Is it a tone drop or a tone rise when that first one hits?

PC: Might be a rise. Might be a rise.

LRH: Uh-huh.

PC: Might be a rise.

LRH: Mm-hm. All right. Let's get that tone change, the tone change as that first one hits, Just before the first one, now you're in the center of the skull, all of you is the pineal. (clap) Okay. You getting more?

Commentator: Preclear jumps and tone drops five points. It is now moving full right.

PC: I think on the emotion ... Seems to be ...

LRH: You got it.

PC: ... up to fear or something like that.

LRH: Yeah, that's right.

PC: God, what a low-toned character.

LRH: All right. But do we get a down-up?

PC: Yeah, yeah, a down-up.

LRH: All right. Let's get that now.

PC: All right.

LRH: Be in the center of the skull and let's get that down-up emotion on the first impact. Okay, when I smack my hands, it'll hit. (clap)

PC: No, I wasn't in the center of the skull.

LRH: Well, let's get in the center there. (pause)

Commentator: Needle has now moved to the full right-hand side of the dial as the preclear attempts to concentrate his attention in the center of the skull.

LRH: [to machine operator] Center the machine.

Commentator: The operator of the machine is now centering the needle.

LRH: [to pc] Okay. You in the center now?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay. First one's going to hit again. (clap) Get the curve of the first one. (clap) Get it again. (clap) And again. (clap) And again. (clap) First one, just the first bap. (clap)

Commentator: Needle fluctuates about four points.

LRH: Get the curve that goes with it?

PC: Yeah. It seemed to me I was getting one in the stomach then, too.

LRH: All right. Let's get that first bap, simultaneous bap, and the curve that goes with it. (clap) And again. (clap) Let's be all in the center there now. (clap)

PC: Wait till I get all in the center, here. Wait a minute. Takes a little time to keep in this center.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Trying to keep in there. Seems you can get out of there, you know?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: (mumble)

LRH: Mm-hm. (pause) Now, is there an effort to get out of there, as the pineal?

PC: Yes, you're right. I'd like to get out of this.

LRH: All right. Let's get the effort to get out of there, now, as the pineal. Let's get the effort to get out - to disconnect. First bap. (clap) Get the effort to get out of there. Again, first bap. (clap) (pause) You got it?

[to machine operator] Center the machine.

PC: There's a lot of confusion. I don't quite know what I'm getting now.

LRH: Well, let's get the effort to get out of there on the first bap, now.

PC: Get out on the first bap now.

LRH: All right, let's get, now, the ARC break. First the affinity break with everything else in the skull.

Commentator: Three-Point drop.

LRH: As the pineal, experience this affinity break with everything in the skull with the first bap. (clap) (pause) Let's do it again. Affinity break.

Commentator: Has risen to three point ...

LRH: Do you find an affinity break there or an affinity change?

PC: Affinity change.

LRH: All right, get an affinity change with the rest of the body, your feeling of an affinity change with the rest of the body.

Commentator: Getting a three-point drop, now rising, fluctuating. It's full off on the left-hand edge of the dial.

LRH: [to machine operator] Center the machine.

Commentator: Tone now rising.

LRH: Get an affinity change again with the rest of the body. Is it up or down?

Commentator: Continuing to rise.

PC: It's difficult to discern.

LRH: All right. Get a communication shift with the rest of the body on the first bap.

Commentator: Three-point drop, rising.

LRH: Get the bap and get the shift.

PC: Mm.

Commentator: Needle continues to rise, now dropping

PC: There seems to be a postulate there to tighten up and to hold the bap in place.

LRH: All right. Let's get this effort to hold it.

Commentator: Slow drop.

PC: So as to dampen its action.

LRH: All right. Let's get the effort to hold it. (pause)

Commentator: The needle's rising.

LRH: Again, get the effort to hold that action. (pause) And again the effort to hold on to the action. As the pineal, now, get the effort to hold on to this bap. Get it coming in and hold on to it. (pause) You getting it?

PC: Yeah, yeah.

LRH: Good. What's it like?

Commentator: A three-point needle fluctuation.

PC: Well, a - a freeze.

LRH: Is it going through it yet? Have you got that effort freed up or is it wearing out as an effort?

PC: It's sort of wearing out, just a little bit.

LRH: All right. Let's just get it rapidly. Bap-hold-bap -hold-bap-hold-baphold-bap-hold, come on.

PC: I'll keep running over it, now I see ...

LRH: One right after the other, bap-bap-bap-bap-bap. Just the first one, repeating, repeating, repeating. The first one repeating and your effort to hold, hold, hold, hold. (pause)

Commentator: Needle just swung - was put off the dial to the left. The machine has been centered. Now the needle starts to rise - three, four, five points; continues to rise to six.

LRH: And you have to hold it good?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Is it wearing out?

PC: Yeah, it's slowly wearing out.

Commentator: Slight drop, and continuing to rise.

PC: There's more

LRH: Hm? What?

PC: Right now the effort seems to be more coming in, you know, pushing it out.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: I mean, the counter-effort is coming in on me more now

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: I'm not - i don't seem to be holding it out there so much.

LRH: Mm-hm. What'd you get there?

PC: Longer counter-effort.

LRH: Okay. (pause) All right, bring it in.

Commentator: Very wide fluctuations of the needle, drop and then a rise.

LRH: Get your effort as the pineal to pull it right straight on through. Is it from all sides at once or just from the back?

PC: The back - the back of the neck, the back of the neck.

LRH: All right. Pull it in from the back of the neck.

PC: Pull it in. Pull it in.

LRH: Over and over and over. Pull it in to you.

PC: Counter-effort. Okay.

LRH: Pull the counter-effort in.

Commentator: Needle fluctuating tone rising.

PC: Postulate's "It's easier this way."

LRH: Mm-hm.

Commentator: Full-dial drop.

PC: It doesn't seem to be pressing quite so strong now.

LRH: All right. Get your effort to shove it out. Rapidly, one right after the other on the first bap and the effort to shove it out.

Commentator: Tone's starting to rise again, continuing to rise. Now, a slight drop again rising.

PC: By God, I can get that. You know I couldn't get that before?

LRH: That's right.

PC: Uh-huh. Those other efforts were obscuring it.

Commentator: Very wide fluctuation of the needle, almost a full-dial swing.

LRH: Wearing out?

PC: Yeah, little by little it's wearing out.

LRH: All right. Now, let's get the effort to pull it in.

PC: Pull it in?

LRH: Pull it in again.

PC: There's something.

LRH: Some more of that there?

PC: Yeah, there's more of that there.

LRH: Okay. Get it in several times to pull it in.

PC: I'm not trying to bop the machine but I know you're getting...

Commentator: Needle fell full off to the left. Operator of the machine is setting the needle.

LRH: All right. Pull it in again.

PC: Not - don't seem to be there quite so much. It's more "not to resist."

LRH: All right. Push it out. Get the resistance; resist, resist, resist. (horn honking)

PC: Hey, that damned horn sounded like it.

LRH: Mm-hm. Get the effort to resist.

PC: (pause) This makes the somatic very strong just now.

LRH: Oh, you're getting a good somatic on it now?

PC: Yeah, on the resistive effort, there is a somatic on it - on it.

LRH: All right. Is that effort getting stronger? Is your effort getting stronger?

PC: The resistor effort?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Yeah, yeah.

LRH: Over again. Over again. Resist it.

PC: Well, that makes a very strong somatic.

Commentator: Needle is fluctuating in a three-point range now.

LRH: Try it again. Throw all of your resistance into it now.

PC: It's on just, I think, one vertebra in the back of the neck. (pause)

LRH: Now how's the effort on it?

PC: It's the - the somatic is lessening.

LRH: Lessening, huh? All right. Try pulling it in again.

PC: Pull it in again?

LRH: Pull it in. (pause) Pull it in again. Rapidly, one right after the other, pull it in.

PC: One right after the other, right. Uuuuuhhh. (mumble) I try - I try to resist it. But the effort to accept it does seem to be a little - little out of the road now and there's this resistor effort that keeps coming in.

LRH: Mm-hm. Well, keep trying to pull it in until your effort reverses automatically.

PC: So that I am doing nothing but pushing it out?

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Mm. (pause) Yeah.

LRH: Did it reverse?

PC: No. No, but I just got the concept of what you're referring to.

LRH: Oh.

PC: Slow thinking with these facsimiles.

Commentator: Needle has dropped two and a half points and is now rising slowly.

PC: With the - keeping pulling it in like that is wearing the counter-effort out.

LRH: Okay. Pull it in. (pause) Pull it in some more.

PC: About the top of the shoulder blade is ...

LRH: You still on the first one?

PC: Yeah, I'm still picking up the first ...

LRH: Good. You're just doing fine. (pause)

Commentator: Needle continues fluctuating one point.

LRH: Now how's the somatic?

PC: Right there it got a little stronger, and now it's tapering off a little bit

LRH: Mm. All right, resist it.

PC: Resist now. Okay.

LRH: One right after the other, (pause) Hey, you got a good one.

PC: Yeah, you bet.

LRH: Now, let's get a heavy resistance on it.

Commentator: Needle drops two and a half points.

LRH: Is it a lot less than it was?

PC: Yeah, it's less than it was.

LRH: Good. (pause) Still getting good solid resistance on it?

PC: Yeah. Hey, you know there's a tendency to dope off, you know, I've been doping off in front of a - this machine all the time.

Commentator: The needle's dropped about five full points.

PC: But I said that because when I first came up, my awareness of the audience was high, now it's low.

Commentator: The needle has returned to the center of the dial, now continuing to rise.

PC: Oh!

LRH: What happened?

PC: I resisted a little too much.

LRH: You got a real hard one?

PC: Yes.

LRH: Would you say this thing's a quarter worn out? Half worn out? What ?

PC: Oh, I'd say about three-quarters worn out on this one first bap.

LRH: That's all we're interested in at the moment - that one first bap.

PC: Yeah. Now that first bap, that's about three-quarters gone now.

LRH: Okay. Let's pull it in very rapidly, one right after the other. Pull it in.

PC: On the first bap.

LRH: Make it good and solid. Pull it in hard.

PC: I'm getting flattened on it now, Ron.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Now it's just a tendency to dope off (pause) There - there's less counter-effort and more tendency to dope.

LRH: All right. Resist it. Push it out now.

PC: All right, I'm pushing it out.

LRH: Get the sound that goes with it now - sound as it would sound inside the skull.

PC: Must be some sonic shut-off there, or something I can't get through.

LRH: (pause) Got the resistance of it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Just resist it a little harder. Is it practically gone?

PC: Yeah, it's - it's going, it's going, it's going.

LRH: Attaboy.

Commentator: The needle continues to fluctuate, approximately one point, and gradually moves up across the dial.

LRH: Now this time as you run it, get the feeling of affinity break that goes with it.

PC: With what? Affinity break with ...

LRH: Well, any affinity change that goes with that bap from the back of the head.

PC: Affinity break with the environment or myself?

LRH: No, affinity break between the pineal and the skull.

PC: Between pineal and the skull. (laugh) My vertebrae always flicker flicker.

Commentator: The needle has now swung full left.

LRH: Mm, okay, All right, get the communication change between the pineal and the skull. (pause)

Commentator: Needle rising slowly.

LRH: Got it?

PC: Sort of.

LRH: Yeah, now you got it. Get it better.

PC: Yeah, I - I got it.

LRH: Good.

PC: I thought of a line from The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran.

[R&D note: The Prophet: a book of twenty-six poetic essays by Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), LebaneseAmerican philosophical essayist, novelist, mystic poet and artist. Published in 1923, The Pro~het became a best-selling book of popular mysticism, and it has been translated into more than a dozen languages. In one o~ the essays, entitled "On Pain," Gibran wrote: "Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."]

LRH: Yeah.

PC: "Pain is the breaking of the shell of our understanding."

LRH: Yeah.

PC: Ha-ha! That fits.

Commentator: A quarter up.

PC: In other words, I - I don't like my skull anymore. It just couldn't stand up now. We were running my throat ...

LRH: Mm-hm,

Commentator: Slowly rising.

PC: That's - those are gone now.

LRH: Yeah? Good. Get your feeling of reality break - as the pineal - get your feeling of reality break the second that thing hits you.

PC: Seems to be a postulate: "I don't belong in here."

LRH: Yep. How's the somatic?

PC: Oh, it's - it sort of changed into a - a different kind of a somatic. Now it's better, but I mean, you see, it's - it's not the same as it was. You see, it is different. Oh, oh, hey! Oh, my vertebrae! Straightening up, the back of the neck!

LRH: Yeah?

PC: It's amazing? (laugh)

LRH: Yeah?

PC: (laughs) It's a big relief to me, because all my life I've held it like that. (laughs) Real good.

LRH: Have you been the pineal?

PC: Yeah. You mean this life or - I didn't quite get the gist of the question.

LRH: This life, have you been the pineal to a large extent?

PC: Yes, I have.

LRH: Mm-hm. Yep.

Commentator: The needle has dropped down. It's now rising.

LRH: Okay.

PC: You already knew this, then?

LRH: Sure. Are there many more baps left on that, the somatic, and so forth?

PC: Many more baps?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: There may be. I - maybe that's an avoid - maybe. (laughing)

LRH: Well, is it an avoidance?

Commentator: Slight drop here.

PC: No, I don't think there are very many more.

LRH: Well, can't you pick up the remainder of these yourself ...

PC: All right.

LRH: ... just for the purpose of demonstration?

PC: Yes.

LRH: Okay.

PC: Uh-huh, uh-huh.

LRH: All right. How about scanning out the session?

PC: Scan out the session?

LRH: Yeah, scan out this whole session here...

PC: Okay.

LRH: ... ever since you came up and I started talking to you.

PC: Okay.

Commentator: Needle dropped two points, is now rising. Slight fluctuation, continuing to rise, (pause) hovering about mid-dial. Now a drop of one point, fluctuating back to center, and a drop of one point, fully recovered to the middle of the dial.

LRH: Just give it a lick and a promise.

Commentator: Slowly rising.

PC: Okay.

LRH: You're not hitting those hand pops, are you?

PC: No, I...

LRH: Did you hit them?

PC: What? What?

LRH: When I slapped my hands?

PC: No, I'm not hitting those.

LRH: Uh-huh. How about you straightwiring that?

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Thanks.

PC: Okay.

LRH: [to machine operator] Was there any rise in tone apparent on this machine, or any rise or drop?

Machine Operator: All the way through, all the way through.

LRH: Continuous rise on the scale.

Machine Operator: Mm-hm.

LRH: This is an example, then, of Effort Processing as used in the reduction of heavy Facsimile One.
