SUBJECTIVE PROCESSES (CONTINUED)

WHY A THETAN IS STUCK IN A BODY, PART I

A lecture given on 16 October 1953
A lecture and auditing demonstration given on 16 October 1953[Based on the clearsound version only.]
[Based on the clearsound version only.]

[This lecture includes experimenting with a "ping" or "beep" meter that makes a shrill beeping sound. The clearsound transcript does not attempt to note all the endless beepings recorded as the "meter" is tried out.]Well, finishing off the October the 16th morning lecture, let's sit down and we'll give it a moment or two.


Merely wanted to remark to you that your problems of exteriorization, your problems of getting out of or into a location, are the same.

And this is the afternoon talk of October the 16th. And we're going to go into several things this afternoon.

The thetan has problems in getting into and out of locations and you, with a preclear, have problems in getting him out of and into locations.

But the first thing we're going to do - I've just received this machine from Volney Mathison and it is the AR-54. That's - "AR" stands for an audio recorder. What the machine is - he has some incredible series of names for it - is the Audio Pinched-Nerve Detection Machine, or something of that... But I've been calling it the "ping meter" myself I find that's much easier. And mostly because it's reminiscent of the good old days when you turned the sound stack in one direction and nothing happened and turned it in the other direction and nothing happened and then turned it back into the wash and there was a ping, and everybody came up to general quarters just to find out that it was a new sound man who had accidentally turned the machine back into the wash of the ship.

The very best processing, then, which can be done on an individual is merely to train him to get into and out of locations. That's the very best drill and the very best process that can be done.

Anyway, the ping detection meter is a very new development of Volney's. He was telling me about this machine and he said somebody out in Los Angeles brought in something that whined when it came in the vicinity of a pinched nerve. And he couldn't make this machine work; it was a bunch of junk. They wanted it to be fixed up one way or the other. And he couldn't make this machine work and he couldn't make it work and he couldn't make it work and he figured and figured and figured and figured and then one day he looked and saw a Mathison E-54 sitting there. So he just shoved the E-Meter in on the line. It promptly worked and it's been working ever since.

Now, a note came in from Phoenix which I found interesting. In using Formula H, an auditor out in Phoenix reached basic-basic and turned on sonic and visio on the whole track. It took him about ten hours with the case. And he did nothing but reach and withdraw from, and get basic-basic to reach and withdraw from him. He just spotted this using the theory in the first book, you see, and used Formula H - Reach-Withdraw; Grasp and Let Go - and for, specifically, the first aberrative incident on the case. He just specified this, you see, and got reach and withdraw from it - in about ten hours.

This machine actually combines an E-Meter, when it's well set up on activity, with audio. And the machine simply tells you a pinched-nerve area of the body. The individual being worked on this machine holds the electrode in one hand and the operator - chiropractor, auditor, whoever he is - simply passes the probe over the body until it's - the machine cries.

I suppose - I hope - he interspersed this with some Six Steps, something of the sort. But the fellow's track blew open and in the occluded areas which remained on the track, the fellow knew everything that was in them. He was trying to still clean them up one by one, but he was making good progress at this. He turned on full sonic and visio by running Formula H on the first incident of pain and unconsciousness on the bank. Interesting technique.

Now, I'll show you how to set this machine up. It's very simple to set up according to his instructions. I've read his instructions and so I'm sure the machine works. I... Now, I imagine that it should be set straight up. And let's see if we can find something here underneath. Oh, that's a nice comfortable spot. I've already done this trick. It'll probably work again. I hope it works again anyway. Lot of wire here. It's the only - the main danger of this machine is tripping in the wires. And that's true of any electronic equipment. The main danger in the movies is falling over sound cables. And it's very fatal sometimes. Now, you notice we've got the machine riding somewhere near center.

Ross didn't tell me who had done it there. He merely said that one of his auditors had simply sat down when the PAB came in and remembered basic-basic and had suddenly gotten "reach and withdraw for basic-basic" and run it about ten hours and this result had happened. That's a whole series of one case and he didn't tell me really what the state of the case was before he began this. But I would presume that the case had no sonic or visio.

I don't know if this machine is calibrated against the other tone scale or not. And we're riding here on the C scale and the C ... Well, according to this, let's see, I'm about 1.1 this morning. And I guess that... Let's see what it is doing here. Yeah, that's about what it registers. Let's see if there's any change on sensitivity. I don't know if this machine calibrates against the other machines or not. That isn't what I register, by the way. I generally register 0.5.

Now, what you'd be doing there would be plotting your way through a thinking machine. The thinking machine is composed of a life track.

Anyway, you give the person the E-Meter electrode - just a one-hand electrode - and while he's holding this innocently and so forth, you take this probe with a little flat head - now I imagine you could get different kinds of probes.

I wrote a book in 1938 and probably will never completely recover from having done so. And I gave this book the working title - the mask you might say - of Excalibur. And it was quite a book. It contains, in essence, most of the theory which has been later used. But it didn't have it in any kind of a transmittable organization.

I tell you frankly - frankly, Volney gets along fine and he's a swell guy but when I get gone for a long space of time, he gets impractical. He doesn't look enough because he should put this up with a full set of beautiful probes of various kinds because this goes to the medical profession. It should have hooks and so on. It was a brilliant idea to make it red; that's very attractive. But he should have done this. Now there's several other things that the machine should have, but I'll get in touch with Volney and we'll have a machine out of this thing yet. Well anyway...

Every once in a while - the book has sufficient orienting factors in it that every now and then I am struck by the fact that we have gone into too deep, technical communication networks concerning this material. And I go back and reevaluate the material against the original postulates in that 1938 book and all of a sudden we lose a lot of technology suddenly and gain a lot of workability.

This is what was interesting to me is that the machine did a - that's what's wrong with the machine. It was running on a low read. Okay. You hear that? All that's doing is heterodyning. It actually raises hell with radios in the vicinity. We just turn that last knob here, which is the oscillator cutoff - we just turn the oscillator cutoff just barely off. See that signal fade? Now it's off. No reaction, see? I'm touching the probe to my face here - no reaction, no reaction.

It would seem to indicate, if the reductio ad absurdum were followed, that everything would simply boil down to one flash. And this would be very nice to contemplate but I have not found this really taking place.

[There are sounds of Ron playing around with the probe and then he gets it to beep on something. We are not going to attempt to note all the subsequent beeps that occur throughout this lecture - FZ Editor.]

I have, however, found that with the Prelogics, the fact that the mission of theta is to create space in which to locate matter and energy - the Prelogics are a very definite advance. There's the theta-MEST theory and those. They're very good evaluating theories. Extremely good.

Do you know what that's hitting? I cut myself there this morning with a razor. I already tested that out and it immediately picked it up. Now as far as.. . Ooooh! Hey, that's all right.

But in this original book there is something that you should know: A man is as sane as he considers himself dangerous to his environment. A real good one for you. That is a not entirely integrated statement. But it is an entirely workable statement.

Female voice: Hold it to a frontal lobotomy.

A man is as sane as he considers himself dangerous to his environment. A woman is as sane as she considers herself dangerous to her environment. Follows with a corollary that a person is as bad off as he considers himself in a dangerous environment. Follow?

That's a war injury! That's a war injury! For God's sake! Yeah? For God's sake! In other words, it's still got some - wait a minute, I just caught this machine off first base! Hah-hah! Just a minute, Mr. Mathison. Mm-hm, it hits on a taut muscle. Or it hits on a very wet surface. Mm-hm. Those are the moisture surfaces of the body.

Insanity, then, would be that condition pursuant to the consideration of the individual that he is in a dangerous environment, so dangerous that it cannot ever be coped with now or in the future and probably in the belief that he'd never coped with it. See, that would be the complete "gone apathy" about the whole thing.

Actually, what I'm doing here this afternoon, for your edification, I'm trying to find out what this machine does. See, that goes across that - that's a fifth nerve, well actually...

Well, now let's integrate that with regard to the fellow caught in his body. He is not dangerous to his environment as much as he would like to be and he considers his environment dangerous to him. If you remember this as an auditor - if you remember this, actually, as a case, your problems have a tendency to sort of wither away.

LRH: Okay.

Is the environment dangerous? Well now, the environment - if the environment, at this instant, is demonstrably not dangerous, this universe has this additional threat - this universe poses the threat that one can be struck or influenced by things which are now on the way; they happened yesterday, you see, and the beam is still traveling and you cannot perceive it until it arrives, see?

PC: Now, I've got an anesthesed area. How about trying it on the register?

Well, that is a continuous threat in this universe. It's a continuous threat right here on Earth on this magnitude: that there is a meteor or a comet of some vast size headed right straight at Earth and it is traveling well above the speed of light and is therefore not perceptible and would not be perceived until, all of a sudden, in the calm of the business day, there's a puff and a flash all around and everything is gone. You see this? There would be no warning. And danger is monitored by this phrase: "No warning."

LRH: I don't know.

That which is most dangerous is that which acts without warning. And if you will notice, an individual who does not consider himself completely ferocious to his environment always gives ample warning. He argues and threatens before he strikes.

PC: Right here.

Let's take the career of the "Brown Bomber." He fought his way instantly, almost, into the heavyweight title, by doing what? He struck without warning. He was fairly fast. There was no telegraph to his blow at all. He'd step into the ring. The opponent would step out of his corner. There would be a moment of size-up and then there would be a heavy crash. Actually, the box office for this fighter, Joe Louis, started to fall off because people, fight after fight, would simply go to the fight to see an opponent leveled with a blow. That was all. Without warning. Well, of course, there was actual warning. The other fellow knew that he was a boxer; he knew he was going to get struck; he knew he himself was going to do some striking. But I would like to see the condition of some of the boxers who fought Joe Louis. Must have been horrible.

LRH: You've got an anesthesed area?

All right. So the "Brown Bomber" starts piling up in his career a number of overt acts. And these overt acts get higher and higher. And so we have more and more warning on the part of Joe Louis. He spars longer and he starts to move out of the first round into the second round. And just before his final crash from the crown, he actually fought a complete fight without a knockout. All right. There is your extensional warning, see? He's warning longer and longer and longer. You go from no warning at all to, oh, just so much warning that nobody pays any attention to it. You see?

PC: Yeah, right up here.

You have, then, a ratio that you could draw. And you could draw on one side of the picture, you could draw "all warning and no force" - "no result," you see, "no arrival." And on the other side of the picture, you'd have "no warning and all force."

LRH: Okay. Now let's get the thing up on...

A person has as much trouble as he is unable to generate force. The society believes that a person has as much trouble as he generates force. It says, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." Of course, you realize that that little maxim of life in this society is very well adopted and never successful - never.

PC: Now I've got to find it.

If a person has a great deal of force you generally will find him acting quite different than on a blow-force-impact kind of existence. Because he's way up - he's above this; he doesn't see that there's enough danger in the environment to cause him to go around hitting everybody. Some fellow could stand and yap at him for an awful long time and nothing would happen. You see, he just would not be persuaded that there was danger. And there is an upper-scale reaction. Now, that goes way up above the "Brown Bomber."

LRH: We're reading about the same level. This machine can't be reading on the same level.

And you find people who are usually very successful would have to go down scale a long time to get the idea that they would have to hit people. Now, don't mistake, then, the top and the bottom of the scale. They don't talk in terms of threats and they're not posing threats. They're not giving warnings about what dire things are going to happen if such-and-so and so-and-so happens, and so on. They just go on and lead a fairly happy life; they're not worried about it. Once in a while they suddenly find out that the MEST universe can throw a - a something at them at the speed of light and it arrives before they knew it was started and this is quite a shock to them. This is when they start down Tone Scale.

PC: That's it. That's it. Hm.

What's the plot, then, of your preclear? The plot is that he can hold off and hold a space because space is important. The particles are not important; the space amongst the particles is important. He can hold off from him his engram bank, regulate and handle his ridges with great ease - with great ease - so long as he has an enormous quantity of force. And when he doesn't have any force, or when he thinks he doesn't have any force (same thing), he gets down, down, down and all of a sudden the bank starts caving in on him. See?

Male voice: The oscillator cutoff should be there.

Now, you want to know what's wrong with a pc? The first thing that's wrong with a pc is he believes that, if his bank is pretty badly caved in... His bank is caved in if he's caught in one of his own theta traps, believe me. He'll be all full of facsimiles which ought to have space between them. There's no space between the time he kissed the girl in Poughkeepsie and present time - although he was sixteen when he did that and he's now forty - no space between them, no time, because there's no space between here and Poughkeepsie. He knows he's got to hold here and Poughkeepsie apart in order to have them separate; he knows this. And yet he doesn't have to. It's a great relief to such a person to find out that he's not all the time holding the MEST universe anchor points away from him.

PC: Yeah.

There's Comparison Processing. This teaches him that the arms of the chair, after he's compared two of them, will stay there until afterwards. They'll stay there. He can come back in the room a little while later; you've never asked him to look.

LRH: That right?

Your inverted cases, then - your inverted cases, then, have their greatest inability with holding space. And holding space is a keynote, because if you can't hold space between two objects, then you can be struck and, therefore, you don't have the force.

PC: Yeah. There it is.

Now, the thetan's desire is to get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller and deal with smaller and smaller things - your old people have smaller cells than young people, by the way - deal with smaller and smaller things until he's finally come in to a point where he knows he can get warning. See, he's operating on a small enough gradient so that anything that happens, he'll have warning. He's got communication networks out, again, only so he'll get warning. You see that clearly?

LRH: Broke his leg here. I see he has had a break.

So the trouble with your low - your caved - in case is he doesn't believe he's dangerous to his environment. Well, one of the reasons: He's done so many overt acts that he thinks he should now suffer by being weak. This is an entirely different kind of goodness than a guy who just natively wants to be good. You see? Get the differentiation between the two.

PC: Surgery.

All right. As we look, then, at a case that has to be dug out of a theta trap, the first thing that you have to dig out of the case - if you are really, really, real good - would be the concept that his environment was dangerous to him. And there, between the two things, we get the difference between Objective and Subjective Processing.

LRH: A what?

His environment is dangerous in the MEST universe, so therefore he has retreated into a subjective viewpoint and retreated, actually, away from the viewpoints he's using in the body. You see how it's happened? He's got a dwindling perimeter. And again we come into dwindling perimeter.

PC: A surgery. No break.

A fellow thinks that if he uses a big perimeter he'll get hurt. And therefore, it's up to you in Perimeter Processing or any such process to teach him that he can have a terrific perimeter and nothing will knock him to pieces.

LRH: No break, huh?

When you first start to do this he'll start getting somatics and expect things to happen; he'll expect the bank to cave in on him because he's hold - you're making him hold too much space. He knows it's not safe to hold this much space.

PC: No pinched nerve. No nerve at all.

Now, when he says, "I have no responsibility for it," he says, "I can't do anything about it," which when he says, "I can't do anything about it," he is immediately and instantly saying, in so many - "I have no space."

LRH: Nothing there. Oop! Oh-oh. Oh, yeah? Now we go right up the leg. You know, I frankly think this machine is registering ridges.

The fellow who says, "Well, all right, all right, so they're fighting in Mghanistan. I can't do anything about it." You've suddenly - you've suddenly had him admit that he couldn't con - he couldn't have the space of Mghanistan.

PC: Try it off the leg.

And now, this is the biggest trick that your real entheta boys use. They get people to go around admitting they can't have any - can't do anything about things.

Male voice: Have you tried the back of the neck yet?

And so, the second you ask your V to be three feet back of his head or eight miles and he finds out he can't do it, he automatically makes a postulate that he can't do anything about it. Now, from here on he expects you to dig him out or some communication system to dig him out and he's sitting there waiting to be the effect of a process. You see how that is? So therefore, you have to give him a process which gives him space which undoes what's wrong with him. And if you can give him enough space, make him build and hold enough space, both here in the - in his own universe and in this MEST universe, you've got him fished out.

LRH: Hm?

The only thing that a theta trap is, is a no space area. Just redefine theta trap in terms of no space. If you could just make him see the space between two molecules of a steel post to which he was stuck, he would feel better. "Ha-ha," he'd say, "there's space between those two molecules. Well, look at that. There's space between those molecules and those molecules down there. Look, there's space between the top of the post and the bottom of the post."

Male voice: Have you tried it back of the neck!

Another way to do a theta trap is simply to look at the top of the trap and the bottom of the trap - just conceptually look at the two and compare the two. But if you want certainty on it, you compare the top of the trap with the bottom of the trap and then make a facsimile of the top and a facsimile of the bottom and compare those two facsimiles. Remove it one step. He's got reality on the - he knows he made a facsimile. He knows he made a duplicate, see? Compare the top and the bottom of the trap.

Male voice: Steadily, too.

Now, this tells you that there's a lot of processes. You want to take small gradients to big gradients. And what else would you do that would accomplish the same thing as Perimeter Processing and yet wouldn't carry him into energy? You'd start into the first stage of Objective Processing. Perimeter Processing is the last, deepest and gruesomest stage of Subjective Processing - interior, own universe.

PC: You get a beep out of it just by pressing hard.

Now, you'd go from there into your next stage which is Objective Processing. And that would be comparing the right ear with the left ear. He knows he can't see his two ears, so have him make two duplicates; make him make a duplicate of his right ear, make him make a duplicate of his left ear and compare those two duplicates.

LRH: Uh-uh.

Then make him make a duplicate of his right shoulder point and his left shoulder point and compare those two duplicates. Make him make a duplicate of the top of his head and a duplicate of his heels. Compare those two duplicates.

PC: No?

Then have him put his hands wide apart, like a cross, and compare his right hand with his left hand. But remember, don't make him realize that he can't do anything about it. That's what invalidation is. The definition of invalidation is making somebody realize he can't do something about it. So you compare the duplicate of the right hand with the duplicate of the left hand. "Now put your two hands out there, and now make a duplicate of the right hand and make a duplicate of the left hand and now compare the two duplicates. Throw them away."

LRH: See? That sensitive?

You just take all the parts of the body. Take the right knee and the left knee, the right big toe and the left big toe. And each time you make a duplicate of the right big toe and a duplicate of the left big toe. You got it? Simplicity. This is Comparison, run on the theta trap of the body.

PC: No.

Honest, these people are really so scared of what the body is going to do that they've got to maintain continual control on it. If you were to run the concept on them "stopping insane motions," you'd get quite a lot of line charging. They know what insane motions they've got to stop. And they're trying to stop insane motions all over the place.

LRH: Can you feel the probe as I hit it?

Now, this is Comparison Processing compared up to the body. And this again has a tendency to spring somebody. Because what are we back to now? We're back to Step II of SOP 8. And we are using in Step II of SOP 8, Comparison Processing.

PC: I can feel the probe there.

So that's what I want you to do today: Step II, SOP 8, with Comparison Processing. And you will notice a subtle difference between that and Perimeter Processing. Okay?

LRH: Good. See that? Now when I press it we get sensation which would activate a neurone.

Are there any questions about the process I've just outlined?

PC: That's very light pressing.

Male voice: Hm. When you have him duplicate that, are you having him hold up two or four?

LRH: That's right.That's...

Two. One of each.

PC: Try it right here. This is dead right here. Long lag.

Male voice: Matched terminals.

LRH: Let's see the same portion of your other leg.

And now, of course, you get along to a certain level in this and they all of a sudden get impatient about duplicating it. But you can run an awful long time by making him duplicate and compare the two duplicates.

By the way, if you want to know how to set a bone or something like that, just simply take the other limb or the other arm or the other hand and study its contours. If you want a map of how a limb goes together, take the other limb.

Male voice: Any particular place to duplicate them? I mean, outside or beside the actual parts?

Male voice: What if he breaks his neck?

Just alongside the actual parts, occupying - like you'd see a double image. You'd have a body a foot above the body, you know, in the same spot, but just a foot higher. The hand would be maybe a few inches above each hand - the duplicate hand.

LRH: We're getting beeps all the way across here.

But you're not asking him to see his hands; you're asking him to see a duplicate of his hands. And what do you know, that's what he's doing! See? He won't look at his hands, he can make a duplicate of them and then he doesn't know he's making a duplicate of them, he says. And then he's very surprised and very upset when all of a sudden he discovers that his hands aren't his hands, that he's been looking at facsimiles. Exteriorization by scenery is the same thing. But you run exteriorization of facsimile, and you run in duplication with it, you've got yourself a very neat technique.

PC: I happen to know there's a big nerve right there in the leg.

All right. Let's, then, arrange to exteriorize all hands today. I'm tired of people worrying about it. And we'll turn on perception.

LRH: Is it ever painful? Just passing it over that leg, equivalent area, and we're getting the same bops.

But remember that turning on perception is again a problem in force and energy. But that isn't what it's in a problem of because force and energy is a problem in space. And space is in a problem of anchor points and being able to hold out anchor points.

PC: Yeah.

If a fellow can't put out an anchor point a hundred feet away from him, at will, and perceive with it, don't expect him to see with his MEST eyes because he's going to be kind of blind. You should be able to see ultraviolet and through fog and everything else, with your MEST eyes. They're built to it. And yet everybody's on such a narrow perception band that they - that you should be able to hear up to about twenty-five thousand cycles. Nobody does.

LRH: Okay. Let's pass it over your face.

All right. Are there any questions, now, about this?

Just passing it over the face now in exactly the same area which I was passing it over. Typical of most electronics equipment, and so forth, this undoubtedly has humongous use but until you put it to very practical purposes you don't find out what it can do at all. It's ringing in the same place.

Well, I - if there are no questions now, it's either because you know all about it or you are dazed and I hope it isn't the latter.

Sit down there and let's see if we get the same ring.

Male voice: Can you drill on that?

Here, passing over his eyes and here I am underneath the eye. Here we're under that bone area just under the eye.

Hm?

PC: Put it in that beard.

Male voice: Just drill on that?

LRH: On most people... Nope. Nope. You'll see here, we get a null on his forehead.

Yeah, just drill on that. And you intersperse that, of course, with Duplication Processing.

PC: I have a click in the back of my neck. I just wonder if that would show up.

Male voice: Yes, Sir.

LRH: All right. We'll see. Just a second. That - hold on to that.

And intersperse it with just a pure Step II. You get this?

You know, something about this machine - it's a very snide machine. It shows everybody at 1.1. I don't like to be criticized by human beings but I won't tolerate it by a machine.

Female voice: You want us to stay on parts of the body, mostly?

Same area. Underneath the eyes. Around the side - wherever you have the tight neurone situation of the head. Now, let's try the legs. Nothing there. Nothing coming in there.

Hm?

Well, nothing on that leg.

Female voice: You want us to stay on parts of the body mostly?

PC: Nothing up my sleeve.

Well, you can - you'll have to, just in running it - I leave that to your judgment - you'll just have to pick up the lamp and duplicate it, because you're processing in too close when you're processing the body all the time. And again, you'll condense the fellow's energy if you don't watch it. So you should go off into other duplicates and so forth. And remember to get his body out there in front of him.

LRH: Who has a pretty fair fissure?

Now, if I were - if I were running this on a pc that was around V, I would say, "All right, put a duplicate of your right hand five feet in front of you and to the right and a duplicate of your left hand five feet in front of you and to the left; now compare those two duplicates." And I would build his body up in front of him as a variation of the technique. Variation of the technique.

PC: Well I do!

But now we're going to see how smart you are. I've given you the fundamental technique: Step II crossed with Duplication. I'm going to see how very clever you are. I don't want you to run the process. I want you to exteriorize everybody you're processing. You get the difference?

Male voice: See, I got hit with a bowling ball ...

I want you to observe incidentally the superiority of an objective over a subjective technique.

LRH: Where?

Okay.

Male voice:... a few years ago, right across here. Smashed it all to pieces, there.

Let's get our assignments.

LRH: Nothing wrong with it now evidently, as far as this machine is concerned, whatever it is this machine is registering. Okay. You're cleared.

[end of lecture.]

PC: There's some question on that because it bounced off an old injury on my cheek and that was one of the places it didn't buzz.

LRH: No kidding.

PC: It didn't buzz here where...

LRH: I haven't exactly been without prize-fighting experience.

Male voice: It just - it just reads where there's still life. It doesn't read where there's no longer life - where there's been an injury or something....

LRH: You have a mole that dropped off?

PC: Yeah.

Male voice: It's got a more plaintive note with you.

LRH: Okay. Where was it?

PC: Right here, let me see that thing.

LRH: It sure bites.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Yeah. Temples, temples, front of the face; forehead, upper forehead, on temples, across under the eyes - wherever the thetan's got a good hold on a guy.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Let's see the back of the neck. Now which is it?

PC: Ah, I had the click right in here.

LRH: All right. I've got a white coat here. That's all we need, really, with this machine, a white coat and a barber manner. See, you locate where the pain is and then take an axe and cut it out and you're a surgeon. Locate where the pain is and rub it out and you're something else! But what do you know!

PC: Get it?

LRH: Right where he said. Gee, you don't suppose the forehead is always in agony, do you?

PC: Don't know what it's doing over there.

LRH: I'm just tracing out the nerve line.

PC: Oh.

LRH: All the way around his neck.

PC: Around the collarbone, right there.

LRH: Just above that. Now we're getting it. Little bit higher. No. Hm-hm. You're in bad shape.

PC: Hm. I hope not.

Male voice: No, it's right where that click is.

LRH: And all the way around his neck.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Tell me, have you been hanged lately? Because that demonstrates exactly the same somatic. I think this is ridge handling. Just for fun, mock yourself up hanging. Now mock it up again hanging. Now blow them up.

PC: I got a place in this... Somebody's ... starting...

LRH: All right. Mock yourself up hanging again. Again mock yourself up hanging. Blow them up.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Mock yourself up being hung. Being hung. Blow them up.

PC: Incidentally, that's about where that horse kicked me once...

LRH: Okay. Being hung. Being hung. That's obviously the way to be. And, blow it up.

By the way, when a preclear - when you locate something like that and a preclear starts telling you that it's other things, you're really a bum auditor if you go chasing off after them. Real bum - because all he's giving you is the locks that fly off Another thing, if a lock doesn't fly off of what you're doing when you're doing this kind of processing, do something else. If he doesn't keep correcting you, do something else. You're not on the beam. But if he keeps telling you, well, as he just got through saying here, "Well, it was - a horse kicked me." And what else happened?

PC: Well, I just had a sensation of something heavy hitting me in the face.

LRH: Yeah, well he keeps giving you "things hit me," you see? If he keeps telling you about this, go on doing exactly what you've been doing. Don't do anything else. Don't start running horses. This shows you are unable to hold a geographical position - you've been chased too much by your older brothers or somebody.

Put two men out here hanging. Get their heads askew. Got it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow them up.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Did they really blow good?

PC: Not real good.

LRH: Any debris?

PC: Yes, gabardines there...

LRH: All right.

The next time - put them both up, there, now.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Two men hanging.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Get them swinging a little bit.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow them up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Put your body up there twice, hanging.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Put your body up there twice, hanging.

PC: Yeah.

LRII: Blow them up.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now put your body up there twice hanging and this time get a completely rigid "Uhg!" just as though it just hit the bottom of the rope.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Put your body there twice. Don't avoid this moment of impact.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now get them to come down with a hard jar again and blow up - both of them.

PC: Yeah. The explosion was just half a second after the impact. I didn't get it right.

LRH: Now, let's put them dropping through a trap and blowing up the second they get through the trap.

PC: Oh!

LRH: Oh! You had them on a tree all this time, didn't you?

PC: I just thought - I just...

LRH: Let's get the formal one.

PC: All right. No, I had them on the - sort of like the - just got an arm out.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: ... with no trap. Okay, they're standing on a trap.

LRH: Let it drop. Difficulty letting it drop?

PC: No! I just have one of them hitting other one ...

LRH: Let's get them both.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now, drop through and blow.

PC: Yeah. An explosion.

LRH: How's that feel?

PC: I don't know.

LRH: You don't know? Good.

PC: Ron? Put the thing over there.

LRH: The thing measures ridges. And of course, see, everybody would go nuts, you see, if you suddenly started telling them it measured ridges, so they have to say it measures perspiration or something. I guess that has its - I guess that's in better odor at the moment with the medical profession - perspiration.

You can fool with this yourself, just like he's doing it there.

Male voice: My father's moustache.

LRH: All right. You can stop. All right, let me have it. It's going right across the top of that ridge. Okay.

PC: It's a ridge.

LRH: Make four terminals out here. Make four terminals in a horizontal square of your upper lip.

PC: Horizontal square?

LRH: Yeah. Just make a plane. On the four corners of the plane put your lip.

PC: Oh, okay.

LRH: Get it up there easily?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now put four below.

PC: Yup.

LRH: Got eight lips?

PC: Yup.

LRH: Okay. Now put a big lip in the center of it.

PC: Mm-hm. Just the upper lip?

LRH: Mm-hm. Just the upper one.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And have it say, "No more of your lip."

PC: That's not the phrase.

LRH: All right. What is?

PC: "Don't talk back."

LRH: Okay. You got the eight of them up there?

PC: That's just my sonic suppressor.

LRH: What's that?

PC: That's been suppressing sonic all the way back down the line: don't talk back.

LRH: Okay.

PC: It just blew up.

LRH: Well, we'll have to put that lip there four more times above, four more times below and the lip in the middle of your own space - under.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Let them all blow.

PC: Okay

LRH: Okay. Now let's take a little preliminary test here. Huh! Take your front teeth and gums...

PC: Yeah.

LRII: and make them into eight. You know, set of front teeth and gums eight times.

PC: Yep.

LRH: Now put them in the center.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And have the center ones saying, "I'll never do it again." Now blow them all up.

PC: Okay

LRH: Put it up there again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now, mock up a long nerve. Take that fifth nerve as it runs across the top of the teeth there and mock it up out in front of you.

PC: In the space there?

LRH: Yeah, in the space.

PC: All right.

LRH: Now stretch it.

PC: It's getting out of the space. Want me to keep on stretching?

LRH: Put another one in the space.

PC: Okay

LRH: Stretch it.

PC: All right.

LRH: Another one in the space.

PC: Yeah. Boy, that's a tight one.

LRH: Stretch it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Another one in the space.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Stretch it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Another one in the space.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Stretch it.

PC: Okay

LRH: Okay. Now let's take a little preliminary test to see if anything happened there. We got action, Charlie. It's in a bigger area now. It wasn't before.

PC: Oh. It ended up about here.

LRH: Yeah, it ended up about there. Well, why don't you just take the whole front of your face and hit it with a sledgehammer and knock all its teeth out.

PC: You mean this face or shall I mock one up out there and have it happen?

LRH: Just mock your own face up out there in front. Smash it all to pieces.

PC: All right.

LRH: Have it explode.

PC: Yup. There's a lot of debris left there.

LRH: Take the sledgehammer now and smash it in such a way as the sledgehammer knocks out all the top teeth.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Okay

LRH: Do it again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Get the tinkle-tinkle now of the tooth fragments as you do it this time.

PC: It's more of a rattle. :

LRH: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, make it go tinkle-tinkle.

PC: All right.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: And the teeth?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now we've got it from here. We're exciting the whole fifth nerve as a column. It's coming back to there now. Okay. Let's knock it out again.

PC: Fun and games. All right.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock it out.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock it out.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock it out.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock it out.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock it out.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Do you have a somatic across the top of your mouth yet?

PC: No. I could put one there if I wanted to.

LRH: Okay. Now mock up the front of your face with an enormous hand gripping the upper gum.

PC: Done.

LRH: All right. Have the hand simply crush all the teeth in.

PC: Ugh. Okay.

LRH: Now have it blow up.

PC: Big pile of sympathy there in the center.

LRH: Hmm.

PC: Blow up the hand and the face...

LRH: Blow up the whole works.

PC: All right, it's blown up.

LRH: Okay. Now, get another face and get this hand crushing all the teeth in.

PC: Someone else's face or still mine?

LRH: Yours.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Just yours.

PC: Yeah. Ugh. Okay.

LRH: All right. Have it blow up.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Another one - big hand.

PC: Hey, that's me doing that! Yeah. Mm-hm.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: I seem to have hold of myself over here in the body.

LRH: Well, what do you know!

PC: Yeah. Very interesting.

LRH: Uh-huh.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Do it again.

PC: Silly place to hold a body, isn't it? Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now get this enormous grisly black hand...

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: ... doing this.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Now make it up - blow it up with a black explosion.

PC: Yeah. Turns white. There's a white hand there after the explosion.

LRH: Then blow up the white hand.

PC: Okay. There's nothing there.

LRH: All right. Put up the face.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: A black hand.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: A crush.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: In that order?

LRH: Yep.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Put up a face.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: A black hand.

PC: Mm-hm. It's a little baby's face.

LRH: No!

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Black hand.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: White hand.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Crush.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Okay

LRH: A black hand on a little baby's face.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Turn it white.

PC: Baby... Yeah.

LRH: Blow it up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Hand on the baby's face.

PC: That last white hand didn't blow up. Okay, there it goes.

LRH: Got it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Hand on the baby's face.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Get it prying the gums up.

PC: Get it crying what?

LRH: Prying the gum, the upper gums. Let's get it prying it up, you know, prying the upper lip.

PC: Uh-yeah.

LRH: Now, get it taking another hand into the guts of the baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now have it throw the baby over a cliff and make it blow up.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Now throw the hands over the cliff and have them blow up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now let's make a test for this and see what's happened to this ridge. Haven't had a somatic there yet, have you?

PC: Uh-uh.

LRH: Okay. Just put your face out here with a big ridge on it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Put your face out here with a big ridge on it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Smash them together.

PC: Okay. One is gone.

LRH: Gee, this is real interesting. That's a big ridge. That's a normal ridge on any preclear. That's why I was monkeying with it. Okay. Put it out there: face twice, big thick gooey ridge of energy in both faces.

PC: It's not very gooey. It's sort of concrete.

LRH: Well, make it concrete.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good and hard.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good and hard.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now have two enormous black hands come up and smash those two faces together with violence.

PC: What an explosion! Yeah.

LRH: All right. Now mock it up again. Big ridge.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Knock them together with violence.

PC: Okay. Not so big an explosion.

LRH: All right. Put them up there again.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Knock them together with violence.

PC: Uh, they don't seem to want to go together.

LRH: Pull them apart until they explode.

PC: If I pull them apart and let them snap they'll go together. Yeah.

LRH: Okay. All right. Put them up there again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Snap them apart so they'll blow together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay. Now we'll take a test on this. Hah!

PC: It blew one on this - it's shorter on this side.

LRH: We're really getting that ridge into good activity. That's the ridge of the Assumption by the way, for your information.

PC: Sounds very religious.

LRH: Yes. It is. All right. Now have these two little babies with enormous amount of energy covering them.

PC: All right.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Okay

LRH: Two more babies.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more babies.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more babies.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more babies.

PC: I'm beginning to have girl babies show up. Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Boy, that feels hot. Phew. Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah. Ow.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Now that hurts all the way from here down across there. And there's a cross thing that comes over this way.

LRH: Okay.

PC: Ouch. And also this arm.

LRH: Yes, sir. Two more.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Whew! Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Two more.

PC: Where's all this apathy coming from? Yeah.

LRH: Smash them together.

PC: I already smashed them together.

LRH: Okay. Let's see what's happening here. [beeping] Jesus Christ.

PC: Yeah. It's spread straight up to here and around there. The whole head's sort of flaming up.

LRH: Yes. That's very interesting. Throw up a couple more babies.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Blow them up with trap shotguns. Okay.

PC: That oscillator's up - turned up.

LRH: Now, have two more - have two babies with two huge black thetans crouching over them holding them by the guts and the upper lip.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: You got those two now?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. Have the babies blow the thetans up.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay.

PC: That was very satisfactory.

LRH: That was very satisfactory. Two more babies and two more big black thetans.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Have the babies blow the thetans up.

PC: Yep.

LRH: Two more babies.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Two black thetans.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Have the babies hold the thetans up so everybody can view them.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Have the thetans explode.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Are we doing anything with the ridge? What's your own sense of touch on it?

PC: You mean, can I feel that?

LRH: No, no.

PC: How's it feeling?

LRH: How does your ridge feel? Less? More? How's your body heat?

PC: My body heat's been going way up.
