Tonight I want to talk to you about confusion.

A great many philosophical details, a great many causation’s, purposes, etc. will shake out and become very clear as you process this material.

Many lecturers and many speakers are not as honest about their talks, and give them titles. The lecture tonight about confusion is designed to leave you unconfused, not to confuse you. Therefore, you couldn’t classify it as a political talk, or a talk on psychology, or a number of other things. Actually, there are several of these tonight, in addition to confusion. There is a talk about “Action on the track as a result of energy behavior” and so on. These subjects are short, and each one is applicable to Technique 88.

It is not really enough simply to run incidents, incidents; and incidents with no understanding. An incident is only run completely when the purposes, intentions, and evaluations are run with it. Early in a case - the early part of a persons running of incidents, however, can sacrifice a great deal of purpose in order to get him up to a point where he can spot purpose. You will find that many of the things about which we have talked, are at best nebulous to you, now. They become quite definite, quite real, and the reasons them become very clear, as you yourself go through the experience line.

The first thing perhaps that we should understand thoroughly, is the difference between Technique 80 and Technique 88. It is an odd thing, but these definitions apply very very closely to clarifying the process. The process becomes clear the moment that this (the definitions) becomes clear to you. Technique 88 is processing the theta body, and anything that pertains to processing the theta body can be lumped into 88. Technique 80 is a method of application - which can be applied to: (1) MEST bodies, (2) one lifetime, (3) some segment of the Whole Track, (4) to the Whole Track.

The farmer who goes to the circus and says, as he looks at the giraffe: “There ain’t no such animal,” and the public of New York looking at “Barnums” various items were prone to be very doubtful. The most common things which you have today in this society would have been but a few years ago to you, complete impossibilities. 15 years ago, there were very few people who knew that there was a possibility that an atom bomb could come into existence, 25 or 30 years ago, nobody really dreamed about an atom bomb. An atom bomb? A bomb that would blow up the world? Ah, it was just fantasy, that’s all - nobody could have done this, or have this, or anything of the sort, and yet today here it is. If 50 years ago, somebody had told you that a cup full of fuel would run a battleship around the world 25 times, you would have said, “No.” And yet, that possibility and that very engine is in development at this moment. So years ago man had some sort of inkling that man would fly someday, and yet every day we see airliners in the sky. When the Wright Brothers creation flew - the thing headlined in their home town paper was, “They would be home shortly,” not that their machine had flown. There was not even any importance assigned to the flight that was made in Kittyhawk on the day it was done, the world didn’t think it was important at all. It is a sort of blind thing - man loves to fool himself into thinking that those things which are going to affect him deeply, really aren’t going to affect him. Today, in dealing with the whole track techniques, civilizations, governmental types, technologies beyond technologies (in almost every line of possible endeavor) are showing up out of PCs. Many of these things can’t be built, because they require bridge techniques. They require a certain kind of wire, and this wire has not yet been manufactured or invented. It’s all very well to pick up a technique that requires some “ping” metal and try to use this, until all of a sudden he finds that “ping” metal was mined on one of the satellites of Jupiter. He’s not there. What was “ping” metal? As a result, we have an enormous amount of technology showing up here. Well, let’s not worry too much about whys and wherefores, beyond this: The route to get into a state where the technologies are available. That’s clever, because all the technologies will be available as soon as one achieves the level necessary to remember them, and use them, and apply them. After that, the sky is the limit.

When I say, ”Segment of the Whole Track”, I mean that you can take and specialize with Technique 80 on addressing the genetic line of the MEST body only. You can take Technique 80 and apply it only to the genetic line. It takes a person from you might say: from photon, helper, sloth, piltdown, to New Yorker. You can take this line, and can use Technique 80 on this line. You will find each time that you run this line, that there are motivators and overts making an overt act situation or a DED situation. You can do that - just that, or you can take somebody and process only space-opera. The 2 or 10 million years somebody spent in space - space ships, invader forces, thought people. Fascinating stuff, just fascinating - drama, lots of it. You can take that section and you can process it, but the section is one thing, and the process is Technique 80. Again, we use Motivators, Overts, Deds, and so on.

So, you will find your PC very prone to get very excited about the various things which he is suddenly discovering on the track. Well, that’s his interest - let him run them but don’t let it absorb all the processing time. Let’s get in there with good old 88 and fix him up to where he can really remember them thoroughly, completely, and wholly. One fellow (very skeptical about the whole track) sat down one day and fixed his concentration on a bright spot on a stove and said: “Well, I’ll sort of let myself drift, and see if I wind up anyplace.” He finds himself on a super highway with cloverleafs and everything (the like of which has never been seen on earth) and he is riding a unicycle at a mad pace down this highway. He seems to have on this uniform and he is going someplace hurriedly. He said: “That’s enough,” and he came out of it.Now, the mechanics of how you get into the situation you are in, are most broadly laid open by following the initial steps of Technique 88 which I have given you. In other words, get the halver, or the sexual blanket incidents, which have the halver as a motivator. Get the times when the PC as a Theta being hit, punished, and messed up MEST beings. Run enough of those, and all of a sudden, he finds out where he is and what he can do. From there on he can find lots of answers. Now I will give you some of the chief things that you will run into.

Or we can take a Thought People section. There are long stretches on the track where one has been part of a thought people. They had nothing much to do with MEST, very little to with MEST (the material universe). They sort of floated across the tops of the daisies and made pretty pictures. They had enormous codes of . . Oh, the codes of operation - because, you see, if everybody was a perfectly free theta body, why you had to use some method of controlling them. You had no electronics with which to control them, so you would invent morals, “It is immoral to ....” Well, morals in that line were mostly superstition. They said: “Now, the way to do so and so, is to do so and so, and so and so,” and make some big complicated process, you see. So, you will find people every once in a while who will come up and they will say: “But of course, in order to leave ones body it is necessary to lie down, count to ten, sneeze twice, turn over once . . ., it’s a big process. It’s something you have to be taught very carefully, and you have to observe all the rules, and if you go away from your body and you don’t do so and so, why then when you get away from your body you won’t be able to come back to it. “ If you do come back, not all of you will get back - it’s very dangerous.” That is all under moral codes. That is something like, “Don’t spit on streetcars.”

You will find, even in this lifetime that your PC may have had a quarrel for, a body. I also want to take up what a Theta body does with facsimiles. Now, the quarrel for a body may occur just before birth. Some of these Theta beings are running on double tracks - Martian, and some of them had a track in some other planetary area, but they are still being thrown here at Earth. And here is the earth track, they go back up there (it takes about 15 minutes) and they get shot back down to earth again. They pick a baby just before birth or something like that, and immediately blank out. They are the baby, they are taking care of the baby, and from there on out this is the way it is. Sometimes they will land there, and they will have a fight for this baby. You will find them being rather shy and coy thereafter about other human beings, because they feel that they have done an overt act to this Theta being. You may find this in a PC 20 years ago, just before he was born. Birth isn’t terribly aberrative, but that Theta being line meeting just before birth, sometimes being a quarrel, is aberrative.

So, here is a thought people - they are operating perfectly happy. They have this heavily moralized society - they get together, the elders, etc. and say for instance: “You will not transmit telepathically between the hours of ....” It’s very amusing, but you will get a PC occasionally who is just convinced that this section of track is the only section of track there is, and he’ll insist on processing this area. Then you will get somebody who wants to process invader sequences. That is another type of activity. Here is a thought people, and all of asudden they are hit by electronic people. Actually, people are people. You are the people, whether you were the thought people or you were the electronic people, you were the people.

Now, what happens when a person dies? In the first place there is a perfectly mechanical process, which by the process of life continuum, of forgetting ones allies, of denying ones self grief, an individual is very happy to forget the past of this MEST being he has been packing around. He considers the life that he has just lived the life of this MEST being which he has been escorting, not his own life, because it has all been given to that. He loses the MEST body through death, and as soon as he loses the MEST being he more or less wipes out the facsimiles on the line. That is automatic. Now and then (not every between life here) he goes up through the screen, to Mars or one of these planets, or something of the sort, he feels a compulsion, he feels drawn there. Actually, there is a sort of implant that makes him go back to this place. He hasn’t got a MEST body, and the only way he can live again is to so and so, and so and so. And so feeling drawn to that place, he goes there. What happens to him when he gets there? He gets the Between Lives Incident. He has just gone through experiencing a death; he now goes through an incident which makes him think that he is reducing his life and wiping it out. They will show him a flock of wheels with pictures on them. The wheel goes around, and he will see the pictures go by, and then dim out, and disappear, and he will say: “Well, that proves it, my memory is all gone.” At the same time, he is being hit by hard force-waves which invalidate him as an individual, and as a memory. So he gets wiped out in this fashion, and he turns around and gets shot back down here. It seems incredible that anyone would go to this much trouble, but this is in PCs, and you can run it out. They go to this much trouble. Weird that they would!

Some of you were following along the electronics line, and you landed on this planet and it was a thought planet - all they knew what to do was just thought. Of course, you as an electronics person became very baffled, because every time you started to lay down the law, or post an order which said: “Martial law has now been declared in this area,” the order burned. They get tired chasing around trying to find out, “Who killed poor old Joe last night on Guard Duty?” They get sick of this sort of thing, so finally the invader starts gunning down thought people just at random. Then he starts setting up various kinds of traps, and he does all sorts of things in order to control this area. He has a bad time doing it, but the thought people will eventually succumb.

Sometimes this has only happened to a PC 2 or 3 times, and sometimes it happens to them every life. Sometimes it hasn’t happened to him at all. Sometimes you will find that he is part of a chain that exists out here in the solar system on the satellites - a different government entirely. Women are peculiarly prone to this one, but it is a between life thing too. They die here, they wind up there, they come back here.

You must understand when you are processing PCs, that Technique 80 tells you that 9 times out of 10 they will go over on to what was done to them, rather than what they did. So to hear them, you would think these poor thought people were awfully abused and down trodden, shot to pieces and electrified, pegged and categorized, jailed and trapped, and hunted down like lice - Oh Yeah! You find out what they did to the electronic people. Those are overt acts, and they make very interesting telling.

Now, sometimes a person will have an accident here on earth, and flip through the screen, not being dead here on earth. He will flip through the screen and “Bing” come back here again. During the period of the accident (or unconsciousness) they will go from here to the place they are supposed to go, and there it will be realized that there is something wrong with this person. He isn’t routine and they will just shoot him straight back again, and he will wake up and say: “I died while I was being operated on,” and everybody will say: “Nonsense, your heart kept on ticking,” but he will have this weird idea. Sometimes they will recognize when he hits the screen and arrives there, that he’s not dead. They will know this because he will start to go back, and they will give him an implant saying: “Now you don’t know anything about this, you haven’t heard anything about this, you don’t know, you don’t know.” BING - you are knocked out and they shoot you back again. This occurrence you will find in a large number of PCs, and you will find them hung up on the track at that point. Why? Because it is 2 incidents happening in the same unit of time. Two incidents, they happen to 2 bodies at the same time with a Theta body transferring between. You run this out like any other incident, but you run it happening here on Earth track, and run it there on that track, and finally they will get it meshed to a point where they know where they are, and what they were. You should run that - and I’m telling you about that because it might not be in this lifetime. It might be in the last lifetime. It might be 5 lifetimes ago, or it might be 2,000 years ago. You want to watch for one of those when your PC can’t quite make sense about what’s going on. He feels lost, that is the usual feeling about it. He feels lost, because after he goes back up there again a few times, he is very confused. He is generally packing this incident as a chronic somatic. If he had one of these things happen to him, the chronic somatic of it happening to him is still with him. For instance, if he did this while he was being operated on his throat (and he went from earth track to other planet track, and back here again) he is packing that throat somatic, and he is hung up on the track at that point. So you want to scout this one, this is an interesting incident and it requires just routine running, but you have to remember that it is a double track incident.

Then you will get somebody who was a thought person, these are just two categories of people, by the way. They just tell you that the electronics people happen to be an evolutionary line which is heavy gravity planets, and so they develop electronics. The thought people are on light gravity planets, so they don’t develop anything electronic. Electronics and Thought just makes two classifications of people - because you’ll find they battle, and you will see this fight going on right now in modern engineering. You go around to a modern engineering laboratory and you say to these people: “Now, you take the human mind . . . “ They say: “You take it.” They don’t like it.

So, the incidents I have gone over are: This quarrel just before birth, which is quite ordinary. There is this wheel incident of the wipe out: They’ve got mirrors that move sideways and light shining on him that illuminates him and shows him up as a Theta body. He sees himself moving this way and that way, and of course he is all divided up and his entities are all restimulated. Here he is, and he’s gone of course, because he has been moved aside. You get the weirdest actions with regard to this.

You will find Thought People, and you go around to them and you say: “Here is this electronic gadget that . . .” and they say: “Noooow . . . What!” They don’t want anything to do with this! This same person in some phase of his development was a Thought Person, and at some other phase was an Electronics Person. But what he has in restimulation in this life is his Thought phase, or his Electronic phase, and so he will react reversely to Thought or Electronics. It’s just as the Roman Empire set up the Blues and the Greens as the circus teams that fought with each other; so has randomity appeared in the past as Thought and Electronics.

Then there is the fact that you have a Genetic Line Cross. Here is your Theta Line coming down for millions of years, and you have this Genetic Line coming along here, and it’s 1785 or 1202 B.C. or some date or other. He came down this Theta Line and met up with this Genetic Line (the evolutionary line here on earth) the MEST body’s line. This body line has an actual entity which takes care of the body. It is a central entity, it does have some power over the body. In the first book we called this mind, the Somatic Mind. We knew it was there and had spotted it, but we didn’t quite know its source. This is its life span. You don’t care anything much about the somatic mind. You can process and process it without much of anything happening, because it is pretty stupid. It has accumulated an enormous number of facsimiles from the beginning here on Earth, straight on through to present time. It has a record of facsimiles of everything happening to it. Facsimiles of deaths, facsimiles of this and of that, it is a complete record. Now, what does your Theta being do about this? This somatic body is doing a skip, it goes through this generation, dies, goes immediately in the species to this generation, dies, into this one, dies, this one, dies. It skips each time. It is more or less following the protoplasm line, and the protoplasm line would be an unending stream here of species to species, and generation to generation - it is sort of following that. The protoplasm is carrying part of the map, and it (genetic entity) is carrying the blueprint, and between the 2 of them they have been making bodies, but it is doing a skip. It’s gone at death, and comes right straight back into the line. Death, right back into the line, dies, picks up the young of the next line. So, you will find quite often, a Theta being in possession apparently of all these MEST facsimiles, all this somatic line data is apparently in the Theta being, but it isn’t.

So, you will find this young Thought Person has been grabbed off as an interpreter and he is riding around with the invaders. Actually, his race was kind of killed off, that is to say, they were given bodies and various things. So the invaders were riding around, invading planets and so forth, and here is this puckish (mischievous) Thought Person who has been drafted as an auxiliary. Maybe he’s a young fellow, and boy has he been abused by these Electronic People. He is practically a slave, to hear him tell it. Then you will find out that his favorite method of amusement was sitting at the mess table in the wardroom and making the Captains teeth fall out. He would sit there, you see, and every time the Executive Officer would start to spoon up soup, the soup would fly up and hit him in the face, and this Thought Person would be sitting there very innocently.

Now here is the lifetime of one man. Here at the top is conception, when the prenatal bank, and here is birth, infancy, and so forth. Here at birth, just before birth (sometimes 10 or 15 minutes before birth, that close) you get the Theta being off of the Theta line joining the body. The somatic being has been here already, since preconception usually, or at conception. The somatic being has been there all this time, and its been all the way through the prenatal bank clear on up to here (birth) and normally, at least at this time on the whole track, we are getting this join-up here.

You can see how some race possessed of unlimited weapons, could consider itself very tolerant and very benign - up to a certain limit. After it had just so much “Soup in its face” it would start to use its almost unlimited weapons, and start gunning down the Thought People. Of course, it’s very easy to gun down Thought People. You set up traps of various sorts, and gradually you would pick them all up and give them bodies and start them building walls or something. So, you can process that section or phase of the track, but don’t forget when you are processing some phase of the track, process it with Technique 80. Technique 80 doesn’t change. Technique 80 - you could probably process the Main Body of Theta with it. Anything that is to be processed - use Technique 80.

Now you start processing, and of course you can process the whole prenatal bank, you can process conception, you can process all these things. You are processing it actually out of the genetic being, and the Theta being is helping you out. “Let’s process it out, you betcha, they are taking care of that body.” Process and process and process, and you leave this person alone, and this person keeps right on running, all on the genetic line. It doesn’t process anything else. You see, the Theta being isn’t worried about himself so much, he is just worried about this MEST body, that’s all there is to that. You get these people that walk around processing themselves all the time, this is actually what is happening to them. Therapy is evidently a line up whereby you get the consent of the Theta being to process the genetic line. Of course it doesn’t do any good to process the genetic line. So, you see how that would be. It does some good - yes, but not relatively. Therapy could possibly be set up to process the Theta line but all of a sudden you would find something new was happening.

Now, way back along the line, you will find various strange and terrible things happening to people - just don’t overlook the fact that they did strange and terrible things.

Here is the Theta being processing itself, and you will find it will only process times when it has had something in its own field on an automatic basis, but it can go on processing automatically. Now, this is a trick that the Theta being has. You should understand this trick. The Theta being (and you will run into this) can pick up and duplicate somebody else’s facsimiles. The Theta being can look into someones skull or under their left armpit and pick up their facsimiles. If you get advanced far enough as a Theta being you will be able to look at a PC and without actually looking at them at all, you see their facsimiles and you take a photograph of their facsimiles. In other words, you will do a complete mock-up just automatically of just what facsimiles they have, and you say: “It’s this way, and this way, and this way,” as a facsimile. It is very uncomfortable to PCs sometimes, to have you (as an auditor) looking at them and reading their minds faster than the E-meter can tell, or for you to be standing there with your back to the machine and be reading what’s happening. They have got hold of the electrodes, they see the needle drop, and you say: “Yes, go on.” and suddenly they wake up to the fact that you are not facing or reading the machine. If you are dumb enough to scare people to this degree, why, do that. They get very leery of you.

Now, here is the first point of confusion in these Techniques, it’s “Who is they?” Now, you’ve got it straight that Technique 88 applies to processing the Theta Body, not to processing a MEST body. It’s a very specialized technique and it processes the Theta Body. A Theta Body is located in a certain way geographically with relationship to MEST bodies, and it is capable of many other things than MEST bodies are capable of, and it needs a very very special method of processing, because it is a special entity, and article. You will learn more and more about it the more you process it, because it is there and accessible. It is easy to process, and this material is there to be learned. Well, that is Technique 88, the processing of this Theta Body, this aura, this shell, whatever you want to call it - that goes around MEST bodies. So, that is Technique 88, and that is highly specialized.

They are afraid you are going to take their MEST body away from them or something. Now you can take the size and dimensions of somebody’s facsimiles. It’s a perception, one of the many perceptions. Mind reading is something that is done as a trick, magicians stimulate interest by pretending to read minds, and some people actually do read minds. Now, get this and get this very specifically - at no time does the Theta being TAKE the facsimile from anyone else. He doesn’t take their facsimiles (you get that?) and suddenly have the facsimile himself, so now he has got to run it out. Let’s say we have Being One (a) and Being Two (b). Here is a facsimile in (a), and (b) over here does not reach over and take the facsimile out of (a). Oh no, what (b) does is to make a complete mock-up of (a)’s facsimile. He can make a complete mock-up of it. He will say: “Yes, that is (a)’s facsimile.” He takes a picture of it and he files it. His file system is likely to be so careless sometimes that he says: “Yeah, this is my facsimile, I took it off this fellow.” Faith healing is predicated upon the falseness that somehow or other the pain is taken off the patient and is taken on by the healer, and then the healer has to suffer with it. That is something like going out and shooting a photograph of an accident, and going home and suffering by looking at the picture. You’ve Just got a photograph of that accident.

Now, to get back on the track, “Who was THEY?” That’s a big point of confusion. Who was they? YOU! I want to answer this several times. The villain in the piece was YOU - the hero in the piece was YOU. The people who were on neither side, that was YOU too. In other words, you want to know - who did it to you. Well, you did. Don’t try to find any goats.

This is what you can do. This is what a Theta being can do. He takes a look at this picture and he can do 2 things: 1 - He can just sort of blow the guy out; he can turn a disintegrator loose on him one way or the other that will throw this facsimile out of restimulation. He can do that, or 2 - He can actually force this person to move through that facsimile by sort of holding the facsimile there, and he moves the PC through it. He doesn’t get it himself, but here is the penalty of doing this. He will eventually develop a bank of photographs, a bank of facsimiles of facsimiles. He can develop a bank of these, and they can have everything on it, including the density factors, and he can make that bank of facsimiles actually influence him. You understand? They are just mock-ups. Boy, do they blow! They are just a pack of photographs.

You start a PC into any part of this line, and he’s looking and looking for a goat. He keeps on looking for a goat, and he keeps talking about “they”. He keeps talking and looking further for this goat who did these terrible things to him, and all of a sudden as he is lying there on the couch he says: “Baa Baa.” (laughter) That’s very important, because he finds out he was the goat.

How do you identify them? It’s odd, but they will ring on an E-meter. Why? Because they have an indicated amount of charge on them, and the fellow who’s got them says: “Oh yes, it says right here that my density is so dense,” and it will ring on the machine. You will get a little drop on these things. Now here’s the test, you should know this test. This doesn’t mean that the machine is wrong, it means that these things taken over here have a photograph of charge, and they can move in on the guy, and he registers charge. Do you understand? It is entirely different than the guy having the whole facsimile, because it’s a big joke.

Then you get this poor little girl who has done nothing. She was trapped, she was caught, she was ruined, and they did it, they did terrible things to her, they hypnotized her, and sent her from one track to the other track. At some time or other they wanted to fix up a political area or something, so they sent her in there to seduce the prince or something. Oh, all these awful things have happened to her, until you find her doing something, like sending the prince over to seduce somebody in another area. Or, all of a sudden you find out that this poor- defenseless little girl was sending forth the guard regiment to carve up her guests at the banquet. The guests would all be seated there at the banquet, and all of a sudden as she snapped her finger or something of the sort, everybodies head came off. It was sport.

Here are his facsimiles of an automobile accident: The facsimile just before the automobile hits (1), Automobile after it is hit (2), And victim being carried away in an ambulance (3). There is nothing else there. There is no sonic of anything pattering down on the pavement, no anything of anything happening; there are just 3 pictures. Usually they are black and white, they are without color, and there they are. If you find that condition in a PC, and he is complaining about this incident, you’ll find out he hasn’t got any motion for this incident. He’s got a still picture of somebody kneeling, that’s one picture (still picture) and he’s got a picture of a grave that’s got a cross on it and you work and work and work, and you can’t make these pictures develop into anything else. They are just there, hardly any real somatics on them. They can be hanging up, however, on an actual facsimile A real facsimile of this individual has these pictures as part of the bundle. Now this is not confusing and you shouldn’t be even vaguely confused about it, because you will find these often enough. They have no sequence to them. The only point that is even vaguely confusing about them is - a heavily charged incident with lots of regret on it, hangs up as a still picture. It’s a still picture, but your PC can’t get rid of it, and these will move around. The only point of confusion is the wheel. That wheel between lives, will show you pictures and pictures, with terrific somatics. Now, that’s all I want to tell you about pictures. Don’t think you can get into trouble by not understanding what I’ve just said here, you can’t get into trouble about it. If you process an incident that isn’t there - well, you’ve just processed an incident that isn’t there. You have just wasted some time, that’s all. You won’t hurt the PC any. Don’t be surprised however, to be processing a still picture, and all of a sudden have the thing blow up and do something terrifically violent. What you did was process the still picture just so far, and all of a sudden your PC went into an actual incident on his own track - BAM! - and it shows up, and is generally far more violent and aberrative than the incident which you were trying to run as still pictures.

So don’t get upset about this “they” proposition. Nobody did it to you, but you. There is no race, no peculiar, strange or fantastic race which is different. There are five invader forces active and one aborning. That is to say, there are six invader forces in total, but the one “aborning” is not active at all. It is really in its infancy. It will probably be several million years before you even see this one begin to lift its head very far. Counting from the first time most of you hit the track, counting from then (about 60 trillion years ago in the MEST universe) some of you hit the track 60 trillion years ago MEST universe, and some of you didn’t get into the MEST universe until about 3 trillion years ago - that is invader force one and invader force two. All I’m telling you here when I’m telling you any of these things, is E-meter data, confirmed from PC to PC, invariable from PC to PC, one after the other. They read on the E-meter. The incidents are there, and the incidents get processed and people get better. That is what I am telling you about- I’m not telling you romance As a matter of fact, if I were to romance this thing I could make it much, much, much the same as it is. (laughter)

It would make it too simple if there weren’t some confusion about visio on the track. You wouldn’t want it to be that simple. I will go over that again. This wheel between lives shows you mock-up pictures, and you think those pictures are pictures of your own memory, and you see them fade out, so you say: “My identity is gone, I’m all done.” What is doing it, is this force screen hitting you - that’s really wiping out your memories.

Therefore, you have Invader Force One - they are really old timers, and they have been on the track an awfully long time. The reason you say Invader Farce at all, is because at some time along the line (fairly early in its youth) it took off to conquer the whole MEST universe, gobble glop- You succeeded of course, until Invader Force Two came along and you got rickety- By that time you had probably evolved into this and that, or changed into Thought People, or taken up religion, or gone into monasteries, or something of the sort, because of overt acts. You became a Thought Person and all of a sudden out of nowhere, and without any provocation from you of course, Invader Force Two suddenly showed up. They gunned you down, manhandled you, kicked you over, put you into bodies, made slaves out of you who had been emperors and kings. Now, we don’t see anything of Invader Force 3, here on Earth. That is because they are holding the fort pretty well here and there. They have never been shot down here (to earth) that I know of. I just haven’ t found any Three’s. As far as Invader Force Four is concerned; it is really holding the fort someplace or other.

Now the next one is, that occasionally as a Theta being, you blanketed some MEST body, and grabbed off some facsimiles. You sort them out, and you can find this incident on the track where the Theta being did it. You can find him holding somebody’s head and looking at him, looking it over and saying: “Well well, so that’s what happened to this person, how interesting, fascinating!” Here is a little grimmer one. The MEST body is busily kicking the bucket, dying, and the Theta being that caused it is sitting there alongside, watching it happen and saying: “Well, it’s a good thing he’s dead, look at that awful facsimile, look at what he did. Oh he was a bad one. Gosh, was he horrible, I was perfectly justified in doing this.” He will hang on to these, he’ll say: “Look at that, he killed a baby - ha ha, lucky I killed him.” See, he is trying to justify himself for what has just happened. His bad luck! You can find that incident on the track, and you can run it. It’s a very fascinating one sometimes.

Mind you, these people come in, (one way or another) into planets, and they just take over, that’s all. It would not be very surprising for people to suddenly land here on earth and take it over, Bang! And don’t think people (earth people) don’t know this. Do you know that Orson Wells put an “Invasion From Mars” broadcast on, and people panicked and practically died in their tracks in all directions. What panic! Why did they panic that way? Well, it had happened so often, and it certainly was restimulative. They put this same broadcast on down in South America and I think they tore apart a ten million dollar radio broadcasting building - tore it to ribbons and killed I believe, 17 people. The riot was so fantastic, people were so frightened, they went tearing around and tore everything up. On what? Just the Spanish translation of Orson Wells, “Invasion From Mars.” As a matter of fact, this is ordinary. It doesn’t happen very frequently, but every few million years some planet will get taken over in this fashion by an invader force. Usually it has been fairly spectacular. The fellows land, they’ve got on fishbowl type helmets, and they have equipment of various types. Mind you, Theta bodies don’t care what kind of MEST bodies they are picking up, supporting, and carrying around. So you could expect almost anything in terms of physical form, which matched up a particular purpose of this group.

Very often you will get these wheel incidents running, and all of a sudden you find yourself back, and there is this mesty thing right in front of the PC, something like that; or down here somewhere in relationship to his Theta beingness he is looking at it and seeing pictures. He is taking pictures off of somebody’s mind. He is actually examining somebody’s mind. Now that is very peculiar, very peculiar. I hate to have to tell you about that, because it might frighten you that somebody will come along and suddenly blow out all your facsimiles. If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about it, because they have been doing it between lives to you for some time. What’s one more? Now that is simple.

So they would land, and all of a sudden here would be the aborigines (that is, some decayed race that had sort of forgotten what the score was) or somebody who with some relief, had gotten off to the edge of the line, and so you got a sudden enturbulence. An invader force lands, and they say: “Hey you”, and possibly one of you says: “Yes?” You are kind of scared. You see that big shiny thing out there and it’s a little bit restimulative - you wonder what it is an where it’s from. These beings don’t look like any beings you have ever seen before (for the past few lives you have handily forgotten your earlier past) they maybe look like Arslycans to you or something of the sort, and you say, “Yes, sir.” They say: “How far is it to the next town bud?” or something like that.

The next point of confusion where you might get upset about pictures and so on is: Once in a great while you will find (this is a rarity) a third, fourth or even fifth invader force being, and he wanted to know what the track looked like. “Who are these people?” he will say as he moves in here as a Theta being. “Who are these people, and what have they been doing?” He will get the whole track - he will cake a sample of all the track. He will just look over somebody, hold ‘em down, sit on them, black them out, knock them flat, do something to them, and sort of make them run through their entire existence. He will say: “So this is what this race has been doing, well, well, well, all the better to control them I hear,” and he will examine their track. This shouldn’t be surprising to you, this transfer of facsimiles, because this is in essence, telepathy. Beings that don’t use airwaves to talk, use telepathy, so they would get quite a store of these things. Oh, they may pound around somebody with some sort of a Technique that puts them to- sleep and then, make them run the track and take samples all the way along the track, complete with age tabs and everything else. They’ll take them all the way along the track and file them all away, and then have in their possession maybe 50 or 75 incidents (just pictures of fifty or seventy-five incidents) that say: This is what the race has been up to.

This would be just like if a flock of troops should come in here, Russian troops or something of the sort. At first there is no real thought of fighting them. Also, they usually have some gimmick like Fac. One. Now, if they are an experienced invader force, they’ve got it all rigged. They’ve got it all rigged and it will run off by rote. They will pick up these people one after the other, and they will say: “Well, you’ve got to come over here and register.” Of course, the fellow walks over and registers The light flashes, the guys past life and everything about him goes out, - and he remembers no more. Sometimes this fellow will turn around and walk back to his own group and say: “Nothing happened”, and the next guy walks up to register “SNAP” and he will walk back to his group and say: “Nothing happened.” Or they will come in and they will sell all the aristocracy in the area the idea that, “This is the way you can really control these people. We are going to put weapons of control in your hands. Now, just step right up, and sign here.” SNAP. They get the aristocracy under complete control, and control the people from there. In other words, control has been the main thing. How do you control territory? The way to control territory is to control people.

You get this boy on the E-meter, and everytime you find one of these incidents it goes BONG, you start to run it and it’s gone. You say: “Get a picture now, take a picture of this,” and he starts to run this, and it’s a picture of a Theta Trap. It’s a mock-up, it’s a complete picture of a theta trap, there is no motion to it, no motion in it or anything, but there is a picture, and you get a bop on the machine. A theta trap, such and such a date, such and such a place. Don’t distrust anything you see on the E-meter until the second he starts running this thing, the meter won’t operate. You start running it, and he gets something else. You start running another one, and about this time you will say: “What on earth is the matter with this PC ?” You are running a third, fourth, or fifth invader force individual. He has looked over somebody else’s facsimiles and he is saying: “Well, I’m first corps, I’m first invader force, I’m just like everybody else, here I am.” He’s got a sample of the track showing what has happened to this race. He has just got a record, a historical record that he picked up off somebody - just like you would go to school and study history. So, this guy comes along and looks over somebody’s mind to find out what happened to them on the track, and he will pick up samples of it all the way along the track that’s all. Of course when you take a photograph of a facsimile, you don’t get a flat picture, you get everything - emotional record and everything that goes along with it, but there will only be one, or 2 or 3 pictures of it there, that is all.

Then you as a Thought Person (suddenly made into a slave) would cruise along for a while, and one day you would be sitting in this society and somebody would get this wonderful idea: that this is the way you ought to put electrons together so they would go BOOM. Or so they would fly out the tail end of a jet, or so they form up antigravity, or repulsers, or something. Somebody gets a big idea about electronics and there you go - and you were out and way into space - and zingity bang over to the next planet, and you gun them down and you set up the same sort of situation out of desperation.

The second that you start to process these things, if you process very many of them you will get the incident of him looking into somebody’s mind. All of a sudden he will be sitting there and he will be getting lots of pictures, then you run that incident and all of a sudden he will confess up. After that you don’t get any bops from the line. You ask him: “Was this a million years ago, 2 million years ago, 3 million years ago?” You ask him: “Do you have Fac. One? How long ago, one million years ago?” You get, Bop, Bop. Yes, Fac. One was one million years ago. Yes - Bop, we are all set now. “Now let’s run Fac.One.” So, “Clank, clank,” and he gets the first whir and a position, and that is all. You say: “Go on and run it.”

The second you start to run into a Thought People that don’t have MEST bodies you say: “This is very unhandy,” and you make sure that they have MEST bodies right away. So, you have been in and out of bodies, you’ve been this, you’ve been that, you’ve been sheep and goats, spacemen, space officers, governors, kings, princes, ditch diggers, slaves, glaziers, carpenters, brick layers, amusement park barkers, operators. You have turned planets into parks and parks into cinders. You, at one time or another on the track have had weapons in your hands of sufficient magnitude that you only had to say, “Boom” and the whole planet blows, and sometimes you didn’t care whether you used it or not. Interesting, you talk about drama! Well, don’t be amazed at anything your PC comes up with, because as you take that individual track map and plot it up for a PC (get those time bops, and plot those incidents in) you will find out that there were various peoples as a part of invader force one and invader force two - which you represent.

He gets the first whir and the position, and it is gone again. You say: “Do you have Fac One?” and the meter won’t operate. You have released it, it’s gone, that’s all there was to it. He didn’t have any facsimiles there to erase. He just had a facsimile there for show. It had an emotional tab, it had a speed tab, it had a light tab, it had a time tab, it had everything there that it was supposed to have in it; but for just one shot. You start to process it and - pfsst - of course it blows up, there is no Fac One there. Now, when you see a meter start to do that, don’t start blowing your own brains out.

Now, there are various peoples, and these incidents occurred more or less at the same time. For instance, Fac-One is in the vicinity of one million years. Fac-One is called Fac-One because it was discovered One, and then because it is a good one for an auditor to start in auditing if he is going to audit MEST bodies. There is nothing to it. It’s a misnomer, It really should be called Fac. One Million, because that is about its date. You will find that (incident after incident) PCs, whether they are in communication with each other or not, you can put them on an E-meter and each one gets the same similar incidents in the same time areas. They go through the same cycles, very fascinating. So don’t get confused, and don’t let your PC get confused about what he’s been. Don’t let him get confused about “They”. “They” is him.

When you see a PC start to act this way, you just ask this boy “How long have you been in this universe?” You will finally get the answer out of him, and after that everything will be consistent. Then the incidents you run on the whole track will be good solid incidents, and they run all the way through, and they have all their somatics with them, and they’ve got the ridges, and the attention units, and the overt acts. He’s got the whole works after that, for his track.

Don’t think there was a big, monstrous, horrible race waiting and ready to pounce at any moment. Many people, after they have gotten a certain distance through the MEST universe, had gunned down so many people, had set traps for so many people, had ruined and laid waste enough areas, that they began to think there was somebody around who was not quite healthy for the community. So, with this conviction they began to suspect there was some kind of a residual race that was fighting them. So they set this up in sort of a paranoia, this “They.” Now, you will get PCs who will tell you rather hauntedly, “I wonder if “They” are still around?’ “They” are! Sitting right there holding the electrodes. They will get the idea, “There was a THEY, there must have been a THEY.” Well, there is always a THEY, there is the individual, and there is everybody else. He lumps everybody else into a “THEY” and he is an “I” So, you have this “I” versus “THEY” catagorizing as a sloppy method of going about it.

The third invader force track, and the fourth invader force track are kind of long, and the incidents are remarkably similar, and they don’t even need much discussion. You won’t find many of these people around, but you can find them as a special case, and if I didn’t tell you about special cases, you would run into them and beat your brains out, you would wonder what the heck was happening. So, you will find this character with the still pictures that won’t blow, and you can’t make heads or tails out of him. One second you get an action on the meter, then you don’t get any action the meter - you get an action on another incident, and then nothing else. Well, you are dealing with a later invader force, this guy came into the universe a long time after your standard line, but he sure looked over some standard line guy.

I’m telling you this because you are going to find PCs frantically worried about there still being such things as monitors, and the basic electronic people that inhabited or invented this MEST universe. They say, “Gee, I don’t dare tell you this, because I wonder if you were one of them. They might still be around, they might be drifting by your left ear or something of the sort.” You can quiet them down by saying, “All right, you were THEY, let’s not worry about that.” They have good reason to be worried about this. Ask them this question once in a while just to reassure them, “What - would you think about you if you could suddenly become invisible, detach yourself, and bust up anything you wanted to at will? Supposing you were suddenly able to move out and hit anybody you wanted to - BAP - just out of nowhere this person gets slapped? Supposing you were able to do that, would you be rather careful about you? Would you be spooked about you, if you were somebody else?” The guy has a tendency to say: “Yeah, I’d be afraid of me all right.” And then you say: “There is THEY.

He took him out and combed his hair for him. Now don’t be surprised then of variability’s of this character, because I am giving you all the variability’s there are. It’s not like studying German irregular verbs - “Das ist all der verbs der are,” and then they give you another page - “Dese are all de verbs you use dem with.” So, watch this still picture character; he is either in Intense Regret or he just hasn’t been here very long. You can prove out whether he is in Intense Regret or not, because the thing will eventually start to run if you run regret on it.

Actually, we all ought to get together and arrange some sort of Code of Behavior on this whole thing, like: “Don’t sleep between ten and one on Sundays, make sure that any MEST body that you grab isn’t wearing this particular design pin, any- body tattooed with 3 small circles and a triangle around it is already owned by the corporation, no sexual hanky-panky with any of the girls in lower Hoboken, this is the territory of . . . “ You could actually get these things arranged. Somebody was just asking me, “Where is the next conference going to be held?” Well, if you remember your Arabian Nights, they knew all about this. They talked about the Genies and when the Genie was getting ready to leave, he always said he was going to fly away to Mount Calf. So, “Where is the next conference going to be held?” I told him jokingly, “Mount Calf.”

Or, all of a sudden he will say: “There is no regret on this,” and all of a sudden it will blow. Well, he is probably a later invader force. You ask him that question directly, and the meter will start operating. Then for the first time, you will see constant and consistent meter operation. Then he will answer the questions, and they will all be consistent. If you get inconsistent operation, you have got the scarce, rare bird who is one of the later invader forces. They aren’t trying to come down here and invade earth, by the way; they! just got caught in the shuffle in the last few thousand years. Things have been pretty hectic around this corner of the galaxy for a little while, and some of the boys got mixed up and squirreled up, one way or another. It’s amusing! Anyway, I’ve given you about all the strange sort of things that you will run into. I have written up lots of these incidents in “What to Audit” (now known as “History of Man”). I am very glad that the data has turned up as it has - I wanted “What to Audit” to be as complete as possible.

Seriously, you are looking down the barrel at a very interesting future. Unfortunately, practically none of you have any high reality on this yet, so you are perfectly willing to sit there and listen to me tell you about it. Fortunately, your reality isn’t high on it all, at the moment. But you get some Technique 88 processing on this line, and this body, and you will say: “It’s a very funny thing, the book first came out and I thought Hubbard was crazy, but I found out after running prenatals out of 862 Pcs that they exist.” Then you go up the line and you say, “Well, Hubbard is crazy again.” Then some people beg off and they say, “Well, Hubbard makes a postulate and that makes it true.” I wish to thank the people that set that rumor going. That really sets one up as cause, but it doesn’t happen to be true. So, on all this new stuff, of course Hubbard is crazy again.

You can be specialists all the way up the line, and you can make yourself into a Theta Clear. You can process people on one life if you want to. You have more processing techniques at your command now than you ever conceivably could need. You can produce almost anything you want to. The best way to attack any subject is to get as smart as possible on the subject by going on up the tone scale by the process which I described to you in the past hour, more or less a step by step procedure of what you look for, and what you audit.

Fortunately this thing will unsettle itself, and settle itself out again, because some of you are going to get very ambitious and ride over your initial points of confusion and get swamped up in a hurry, and some of you will be too late. You see, some of you will say: “I’ll wait for somebody else to try these techniques, I’m going on and keep processing one life, and so forth.” As the days and the months go by, somebody is always coming up the tone scale. Your PCs are just easing up so fast, and then all of a sudden you find out that the social order has changed or something or other has happened. This happened and that happened, and somebody is off to the races. Well, you will have to get in there in a hurry and really dig, so don’t be late on this material.

Now, about that procedure: The third, fourth, and fifth invader force people are not as old, by a long ways but they have had the same manias, and they have gotten into the same trouble. There are some kicking around that are very new, and very fresh, who have gotten into this trouble on earth. You see them now, inhabiting a body most of the time. Conceivably, there are such people. You are liable to find somebody who hasn’t been here more than 2,000 or even 500 years in a body, or something like that. You are liable to find this rare character. He is very rare, but you will find him, and he has the same background pattern. His case solves in exactly the same way. Resolving the first time he ever did an overt act against a MEST body, and resolving the second dynamic blanket incidents. You run those out, and he will differentiate all of a sudden, where he is. The trouble with this fellow is, he soars almost immediately - he takes of in a steep climb without much processing and he is completely back to battery on what he is doing. He knows what he is doing, he starts telling you.

There are 2 kinds of Theta Clear, you see, Theta Clear would mean clear of a MEST body, or cleared of the necessity to have a MEST body. That would be your basic definition of a Theta Clear - clear of a need to have a body.

From that rapid case, we go to an invader one case, and this guy has been on the track an awfully long time, and he has had an awful lot of bodies, and lots of these incidents. You are going to find that you just have to process incidents by the ton off of him before you will get him up to the point where he will take off. But you can process him up there, because it is exactly the same thing that has happened to him, there is just more of it.

Your next level is a Cleared Theta Clear - whereby all of a persons engrams have been turned into conceptual experience, he is clear all the way along the track, he can really deliver the horse-power and the whip-crack without much trouble. Two different beings.

Now, one conclusion there - you will occasionally find a Theta Bop, a hunt on the needle. That is a theta bop. It swings over here, it’s a 1, 2, 3, kick deal. It looks like it’s dancing or hunting, and as long as that thing is going on that way, the meter apparently isn’t answering any questions, it just keeps on going like that. It means you are on the right track, in the groove with the questions you are asking; the meter just keeps on acting that way as long as you are right. When you go off the groove, when you ask the wrong question - it stops. You ask the right question again, and it starts hunting again. It is a very interesting manifestation, and it means just one thing. It means that the Theta being itself feels that it is trapped in that incident. It feels that it is still there in that incident. It thinks it is still there, and who knows, some of it may still be there in that incident. So, that is a favored one to locate and audit.

Now, in that it is confusing to some degree (speaking of confusion) to process ones Theta Body while a MEST body is still injected into it. In that this is a little bit puzzling, probably the first level of concentration should not be on a full clear of the track. The concentration should be on clearing up those things which make it necessary to have a MEST body. Then of course, you can go on and process without having a MEST body inside of you and interfering with you.

It also means that he feels somewhat degraded. You find Theta bodies departing from MEST bodies (as a final note here) - Theta bodies departing from MEST bodies, and then the MEST body going on living for a short time. Your somatic body leaves last. You can conceivably process out the death of a MEST body in this wise: process it - no grief at all, the person is going right on through the line - process it, it reduces, he goes up in the air - process it, he goes up in the air and it sort of reduces, but nothing much happens to it. Conceivably you can process that. What you are processing is the somatic body. You are processing its leaving, and it doesn’t leave until the last dog’s hung. It doesn’t leave until the last click is unclicked.

Now, don’t think you have to have a MEST body in order to run engrams, you don’t. Your MEST body kind of gets in your road. This is the next point of confusion that I would like to cover with you. Which is the body? What body are you trying to process? Well, there are lots of somatics that you have run into on the track that just didn’t reduce worth a nickel. Where were they, what were they, etc.? The basic confusion of homo sapiens is, “Who am l?” Everywhere you go you can ask this one question, “Who are you?” and the fellow will give his name, until he realizes that you are serious. Then he will start puzzling over it, and then he will start telling you, “Well, I don’t like such people, because they wont let me be myself.” And you say: “Who are you, and what do you mean by, YOURSELF? Do you mean your flesh and blood?” “That is very peculiar” you say, “because if you lost an arm, you can go down to any Veterans Hospital and find fellows who have lost limbs and so forth, and they don’t consider themselves any less them because they lost a limb. So, their identity didn’t seem to be too dependant upon the flesh. So what is this? Who are you? What can you do, and what can you not do?”

Now, what you want is the Theta body departure which is earlier - earlier, faster, and so on. You find quite a bit of grief occasionally on the loss of a MEST body, just as you would suspect. That is one of the reasons why it’s hard to find the Theta body departure, whereas it is easy to find the somatic body departure. You get the idea? Make sure you are getting what you are getting.

Now if you have a basic confusion on identity; of course it is an identification, and it is very basic, and so it would be very aberrative. What is the Number One identification then, for this race? It is: “Who am I,” but there is a very specific “Who am I” about it. The reason that you could never really admit that your MEST body was you, is because - it isn’t, and therefore you get confused. You say: “Who am I” and you look in the mirror and it doesn’t seem quite right to you. It isn’t right. You are your Theta Body, but as long as you have these things held so tightly, one to the other - you consider that you are somehow inside a MEST body, and that you are the MEST body.

Now occasionally, you will find the individual taking off and going straight up, all of a sudden going sort of unconscious and then winding up somewhere else on the time track. He is hitting a screen. EARTH IS EVIDENTLY SCREENED. You start off from earth, and you don’t leave earth. There are occasional sections and areas that have an actual screen to them. Anybody who knows anything about compasses should know that there is a screen here on earth. It’s not natural for these lines of variation and deviation to behave as they do. They are not in a central point where they ought to be - the whole thing is kind of hazy and funny, and it’s possibly got something to do with this screen, although I won’t guarantee it.

Now, that is a basic confusion. You add to this confusion by identifying everybody you see by their MEST body, and so you compound the felony. You keep saying to people: “That is Jones, he has green hair. That is Smith, he always wears a plaid suit, etc. etc.” In other words, you identify the individuality by the MEST body.

I’m actually giving you this as a word of warning. You think I’m being ridiculous, but just as a caution until I find out a little more about this, I wouldn’t advise your taking off from earth. Just hold off for a while, I’ll put a bulletin out, or maybe we’ll send out some scouts with Geiger counters or something of the sort and find if there are any holes, because I know that the screen is there, because every once in a while a PC takes off and he says: “I’m going straight up here” and all of a sudden - Zing - and he forgets after that. Occasionally that was the way people got trapped into this line. They started to take off from earth - Zing - and they are right back in the MEST body line, and they don’t belong here. It is very puzzling to them. So, there is something there, and I won’t tell you what its altitude is, because I’m not sure, but it is probably 27 to 50 miles, but it is up there. As a matter of fact we could dream up a radar that would cross that other screen or perhaps measure its distance. There are a lot of things like this; there are a lot of interesting pieces of monkey business like this.

You can process this on any PC and start to get yawns off of him, because he knows basically that it isn’t true. Then, he is identified as a name applied to his MEST body. Now, his identification of people by looking for their looks and appearances as a MEST body, and his identification as a being as a MEST body with a finite name in this lifetime and so forth, is also a confusion line. In addition to this, you have a whole society that is propitiating the MEST bodies they have hurt, harmed, seized, mauled, mangled, and shot to pieces - by doing nothing practically but taking care of a MEST body. Work it, feed it, work it, feed it, make it sleep, dress it, clothe it, just like the care that a mother does. Actually, if you want to know what mother care is, just start running this stuff on yourself. You’ll find out how you hover over, take care of, and protect this MEST body, and you know that a little child which is carefully protected by mama is seldom very healthy. And so it is - if you cannot abandon yourself just to use this MEST body, you don’t find the MEST body very healthy. You are too busy hovering over it, taking care of it, patting it into line, making sure it has its rubbers on, making sure it doesn’t go out in the cold, and making sure it doesn’t get hungry, etc. etc. You also have every advertisement you see practically telling you - “Take care of the MEST body.” Now, the only liability you have is the food, clothing and shelter of the MEST body, and police liability. It can work, but it can be identified by police. Therefore, your activities are limited to this degree. Also, your activities are limited because it is a carbon oxygen engine which has a tendency to run out of fuel every so many hours. And you have an economic system that you set up to make it necessary for you to earn so many dollars in order to acquire so many calories of food to feed the MEST body to keep it going so that it can work, so that it can earn so many dollars so that it can get so much food to keep the MEST body going so it ....

There is one - occasionally you will run into a place where they are holding a body in pawn. Now get that term, “They are holding a body in pawn.” That is, a body is held here and it is hypnotized or knocked out, and the person is told that he belongs here, but he must go over there and live. You know - a guy in Afghanistan is hypnotized and told: “You live in Bremerton, Washington”, and he will go to Bremerton and hang around there - he is under a compulsion. A hypnotist can hypnotize somebody and make him travel (or astral walk) hypnotists know about this, it is fairly easy to do. Only they didn’t realize that you could do it with magnitude, and you can, you can move almost the whole individual out.

Then they set it up so that you can’t short cut it. You are not supposed to walk into any bank and pull out a gun and shoot down a couple of guards and get a million bucks. It’s passé. They used to do this here in the West, but they don’t do it now - not as frequently- You aren’t supposed to do that, and the best guarantee that you won’t do it is the fact that your MEST body has the distinguishing characteristics of finger prints. It is so high, it’s so wide, it has certain coloration’s, and it can be put in the clink, and you don’t know how to pull yourself off of it and leave. So therefore, police control becomes possible where a MEST body is. Economic control becomes possible only where MEST bodies are something for you to think about.

A Theta body - I’m just bringing this up for one point only - a Theta body can be hypnotized, can be put to sleep, can go to sleep, can be made to forget, can be given various hypnotic suggestions, can be lowered on the tone scale, raised on the tone scale, and can have its identity blotted out. In Fac. One for instance, the waves are hitting a MEST body and piling up, but where they are really piling up is against the outer shell of a Theta body. That MEST body is long dead, and you are no longer even vaguely connected with the somatic or evolutionary lines of those bodies you had in Fac. One, but you are still packing this with the Theta body. It is still aberrative. In other words, the Theta body can be aberrated by electronic fields, by drugs, by other contacts against the MEST body, or against itself. Now, it can be handled, actually only with heavy electronic fields when it is by itself. There isn’t anything else that can hit it. Nothing can hit it - bullets make a little swirl through it, drugs, they don’t eat, so how could they take drugs - gases, none of these things could harm it, and as far as bumps or blows are concerned ....

All of these things form together to make a process all by itself. if I didn’t tell you anything about Theta bodies, but I just designed this process to process out of you (one way or another) MEST body care: People insisting you take care of your MEST body, and you insisting they take care of their MEST body - people identifying you as your MEST body and you identifying people as their MEST body - it would look very mysterious to people, because they would come up the tone scale faster on that than they would on any other straight wire. Identification, identification - just process out that, up along the line. You could take a PC who didn’t know anything about MEST bodies or Theta bodies and give this designed therapy to him, and he would get well. That is very peculiar, because it is sitting on a hidden truth, but it wouldn’t matter that the truth was hidden, he would get well. That’s the test of any one of these things.

There is one rather amusing incident - this fellow has always been kind of mad at horses. He was sailing down the road one day over in Flanders, a few hundred, a few thousand years ago. He was sailing down this road minding his own business, and all of a sudden a dispatch rider coming from somewhere or other, runs into him - crash! Of course this fellow is a Theta being while he is sailing down this road, and he is just sailing down the road because it is giving him a direction. He is making progress nicely and this fool horse runs into him, at flat head-on speed. He didn’t get any somatic on the horse running into him, but he did get this - the sudden fright of the horse at being (what he thought) blinded, a film going across his face. The horse snorts and screams, and then the Thetan bounces and goes into the teeth of the rider, and it’s the riders theta impulse of repulsion and fear which makes a somatic. So we run this incident, and this fellow hits the face of the horse, and hits the rider. At no time was it the impact. Each time it was simply the electronic kick-back - one of the horse, which was emotion - and one of the rider, which was a Theta being kick-back. Both of them make ridges. Now, that is just a stupid little incident. Something like this happens to a Theta being, and the Theta being goes on being mad at horses.

You want to try this straight wire, “When is the last time you identified somebody by seeing what they looked like?” The fellow says: “Why all the time of course.” You say: “OK, go back to the first time it struck you as odd that you would do that.” He says: “It never did, Oh! Wait a minute, I remember thinking about it when I was five.” Now, this makes a process, but if you have been addicted to, pushed into, held in, mauled in, and convinced that you must have a MEST body (for generations and generations) you of course consider yourself your MEST body. If somebody says you are something else and you try to locate that something else; you are going to have a hard time doing so. You will say, “Huh?” and if you didn’t have some of the behavior of a Theta body, and if you didn’t possess the whole track, the probability is that you would never (most of you) never locate your Theta body. You would just go on arguing. It takes incidents in the past to show them up. Now, the sequence of how you come into possession of a MEST body, and why you took over a MEST body, resolves your having a MEST body, and suddenly brings you out into your own identity. Did you ever see anybody that was actually insane on the subject of taking care of something? Let’s say that somebody has a keepsake, and every time you try to touch this keepsake, or do anything to this keepsake, or remove this keepsake in any way - they would practically spin. They would spend all their time taking care of this.

You will find then that nothing much can touch these, but fields. When you are running on the track, and you are running Theta being incidents, those that are aberrative are from these 2 factors: (1) From an emotional output or an emotional charge coming from another being, a heavy emotional charge coming from another being can register on a Theta being, and (2) An electronic field can register a Theta being, and that is all that can register on a Theta being.

How about a mother? Have you ever seen a mother obsessed with the care of a child? The child grows, it gets to be a man, and mother is still taking care of it. Obsession - Obsession. No freedom of action for this person at all. She keeps taking care of that child until she goes to her grave. She is obsessed with the idea of it. She lives in the child - she lives for the child - the childs’ goals and ambitions (which are hers, implanted into the child usually) when they are obtained, they are obtained for her. This is her life, she has sublimated her own existence into the existence of the child. Have you ever seen this?

You want to know what a Theta Being is? Well, be one for a while - find out. Now don’t blame me for anything that happens to you from here on out. I waive responsibility for anything that you do. I’m afraid that sometimes it will be horrible to contemplate.

All right, you have the same situation with regards to you and a MEST body, only its intensity is about 50 to 100 times greater. It’s way up there in intensity. The first intimacies, the initial shocks, whereby you started mopping up, combing up, kicking in the teeth, and throwing away MEST bodies - started to mount up on you and mount up on you and finally you started to protect them. You got this same cycle of overt act, sympathy, and then protection. You can see this operate (it’s covered in Advanced Procedures and Axioms) you can see this operating all through human behavior.

I can see it now! That is one of liabilities of making a Theta Clear who isn’t whole track clear. The whole track clear you see, would be awfully kind, benign, and getting into action, and getting things done, and totally unaberrated, but if you just clear him enough to step out of the body, and when you stop and think of all the people he would probably get even with, and if he had no slightest liability in getting even with them - chaos could reign. It’s something to think about.

We will have to take up love, in connection with that. But this cycle which I will go over tonight - this cycle takes place and finds you sacrificing everything for this MEST body. Why do your past lives disappear? The grief is too great on the loss of this intimate thing. We got into a psychotic line on this. That is actually what it is, it’s a psychosis. The way people safeguard each other and so forth - the way they safeguard and take care of themselves - their complete inability to go into any kind of an abandoned action, a clear swinging action - should demonstrate to you this.

You have a definite duty about all this. You have a duty to find out and prove to the ultimate, whether or not I am right about this Technique. That is to say, to try it out on yourself and find out if it’s there. It’s a duty. You couldn’t possibly ruin anything by trying this Technique. You realize that, you have processed enough incidents out of yourself and out of your PCs to demonstrate to you that incidents are incidents. You can handle all sorts of incidents, so you should prove it to yourself what you can do along this line.

You will suddenly find an actual other dynamic relationship, the first dynamic is NOT to the MEST body. Dynamic one is the Theta body to the Theta body. The Theta bodies’ concern with the Theta body is dynamic one. Apparently, dynamic one is the Theta bodies’ concern for the MEST body. When you say about somebody, “H is all on the first dynamic, he is number one, he is taking care of himself, and he is getting things.” He is actually getting things for this MEST body. He is doing things for this MEST body to get ahead - this, that, and so on. It’s his own MEST body alright, but he is actually doing something for another object than himself, and he can get pretty psycho. He can get very protective on this line, oh! he can really go a long distance from there. You think this is the first dynamic - No! It’s not! The first dynamic is not that, you are looking actually at a group action.

Now, before you take off permanently for any place, I wish you would write me a letter. I would like very much, when you start processing again, for you to give me a note on how you are doing with this Technique, and also on how you are not doing with it, or if you run into any bugs on it. Most particularly, I would appreciate this: I will send you a brand new individual Track Map for every Track Map completed, or that has 50 hours of processing recorded on it. I will send you a brand new Track Map for every one of those you send me. Now, if you will notice, the track numbers its incidents by the number of years ago they occurred. That makes them standard. That makes it sound like an awful lot of incidents (which it isn’t) that are on that track that are very bad or a lot of maybes, but note the number of years ago (approximately) that an incident took place, and note it on the track map. You get a map with about 50 hours of auditing on it, and you decide you want a new track map for somebody else. Well, if you send it to me, in a little while we will have Track Map Issue 2, because what we will get there is just a wide level of agreement. That is what those track maps need on certain subjects. We will find that a certain incident keeps showing up, here it is on 10 track maps, this one incident. We will have to assume then, that this incident is pretty standard. By the time we get 50 completed track maps in, we will have a pretty good view. We are rather prone in this society to think that what we are doing is of little account.

Have you ever seen a family where somebody would fight at the drop of a hat if somebody insulted his sister, brother, or something like that? You are getting that kind of a protective relationship of the Theta body (the individual) towards this thing called the MEST body- Now, somebody comes along and he challenges this. He says: “Hey look here, this isn’t you.” The other guy says: “Oh yes it is,” and you know, you have to process 3 or 4 incidents before he gets over it, and all of a sudden he says: “What!” and there it is, plain as could be. However, in order to get there, he will go through a period of confusion. The main confusion is that every time he tries to run out the somatic on some old MEST body he has, he’s got a MEST body sitting right there, inside the field where he is trying to run the somatic. This is kind of rough, and so he begins to think that he is running the somatics out of the MEST body.

We would blink twice, any one of us, if it should suddenly occur to us that we were making history. Making history is what you are doing however, no pun intended. In writing the chart of the human race - the chart of where it’s been, and what it’s done, and so on - it is writing a preparation for a lot or knowledge, a lot of advances, that would never have been possible before. Something else is possible in all this. In Dianetics in the past, it has been the hope, a consistent and continual hope of all of you, and or mine; that we could process people up to a point, and process ourselves up to a point, where we would have a point of vantage, even if it was only to display ourselves as to how much good it had done for us, a point of vantage from which to operate. That here we had a subject which has inherent in it, an ability to completely alter the future course of this civilization. It has been our hope I know, that amongst us would arise individuals inherently, natively, or through the practices of Dianetics, who would be at such a high level, and such a vantage point of capability, that this would be a very smoothly running process, be a very orderly planned progress forward in society. That takes people of unusual capabilities.

When he is running whole track, he thinks he is running his own track, until he is shown how, and why, and what’s happening with regard to it. You can get him over that area of confusion by demonstrating to him, tactile exterior to his body, tactile stronger and plainer than he has ever experienced in running on the track in his MEST body. You show him that a foot or two from him and he’ll say, “Something is happening.” Then you get him when he has done a Blanket (which is the term for throwing yourself over a MEST body) where he is blanketing a couple or something like that - he obviously has two MEST bodies there. He knows this, he senses it, and all of a sudden he has his shape and general characteristics. Then you have to resolve his emotional attachment for MEST bodies, the emotional attachment for the earliest MEST bodies on the line, and after that he begins to loosen up and free up. You don’t care whether this fellow walks off (and this is not a goal of processing) and leaves this MEST body or not. Nobody is trying to take anybodies MEST body away from him, but you would like to put him into a situation where he can take care of this MEST body, where he would at least be free to leave it - or at least you want to be free to leave yours yourself. You can leave it or stay with it, keep it or not keep it. In other words, that is returning ones self- determinism, and then you could go through life very happily.

For the first time - whether you are ever able to separate from your MEST body or not (that’s completely aside from the point, that’s a stunt) whether you ever want to or not, that’s beside the point. This is not beside the point - that the Techniques which lead toward it will raise you higher on the tone scale than anything in the past has ever been able to raise you. You have in your palm now, for the first time, techniques which can boost and raise your potentialities and capabilities as you once hoped Dianetics could raise them. You have those techniques now. In using these techniques, it is inevitable that amongst us here, individuals will attain levels of capability and foresight whereby much can happen in this society, which has not happened heretofore, which has not been possible before.

By the way, a Theta body has great potentialities in reshaping a MEST body, but as long as it is aberratively unaware of the fact that it is holding a MEST body, it will pull that MEST body all out of shape using past facsimiles on it. It will just haul it out of shape. It will make it grow in the wrong direction, and the wrong size, and the wrong shape, and malform its bones, do everything to it that you could think of: warp it, twist it, (all unwittingly) because it is taking such good care of it. It’s holding on, and the more things that happen to it, the harder the Theta body will hold on to it, and finally the fellow is in horrible condition - he gets normal. Now he is no longer free to shape himself or grow.

Thus we should, before we adventure too far along this line, take a look at what we are doing, and maybe be a little less dishonest than most human beings are. Most human beings are very dishonest when they face anything which they know is going to be a big change. They say: “Oh no, Oh no, it couldn’t possibly be a change, I mean everything is going to be the same. It’s going to remain the same. It isn’t very big, it doesn’t amount to very much, it doesn’t amount to very much, because I am alive today and it’s happening while I’m here, and when my father was there, nothing happened while he was alive, and so of course nothing could happen to me.” No, we are staring at change, and there is going to be change, and it requires that some action be taken in the field of Dianetics itself to guarantee some sort of an orderly cohesion to a plan.

Now, suppose you get him unconfused on this subject, and bring him up the line to a point where he knows where the old facsimiles are, and what these new facsimiles are - he can remold, and don’t think that flesh won’t remold. It will remold rather rapidly. You get them over the first initial humps on the line and a fellow can pretty well straighten up or change a lot of his physiology. He can do this, he can straighten himself up remarkably, considerably. There is where you get the elasticity of the body. One fellow gets into an accident and his body falls to pieces, he never gets over it. Another fellow gets into an accident and gets all torn up, but he all of a sudden heals up - Boom - and he seems to be as good as new. Terrific variability’s! It is the capability and awareness of the Theta body in taking care of MEST bodies, and that’s what you process.

You may or may not realize this, but a great many people who would never have worked out, have been thrown by the boards as coldly and as brutally as you turn a dog out into the alley that you don’t want any more. Separating from a society as a whole, you will find and have found for the last 2 years, separating out of the organization, those people who couldn’t have kept the pace. Now that’s a heck of a thing! They didn’t want to. Well, there are techniques now, enough so, that they could have been brought in anyway, they could be right with us today. It was at that time impossible to deliver training or processing fast enough to bring those people up along the line so that this organization, so that the Dianetic community itself could keep its level and keep its pace and keep going somehow, until the moment which I announced to you right now, arrived - when it is possible to take a human being, and with main strength and awkwardness, beat him into shape to where he is just about a thousand times as perfect as man ever thought man could be, and we can do that now.

As I talk to you about this you go all the way back along the line, and you hit a lot of invalidation’s. As your PC hits these invalidation areas (these heavy force areas which crush him in, smash him down, and so on) he gets, “Can’t believe it,” and you restimulate the unreality in your PC. You understand that by bringing yourself up the tone scale, by clearing up any confusion YOU have about your own case, about what you are doing, that you can take Technique 80 and process any phase or facet of some other individual. You don’t have to make a Theta Clear out of him, but you can make him well. When you get yourself way up along the line, do you realize that nobody could restimulate you? Nobody could confuse you very much. Somebody threatens he is going to do so and so to you. So what? So what if he did, what would he hit? He would hit the MEST body, and that is about all he could hit. If you were perfectly capable of putting a MEST body back into condition in a heck of a hurry, you could cure yourself up of things you never dreamed of curing yourself of before. So, all I am asking you to do as individuals, is not process PCs up to that level particularly; process yourself up to that level. Then you can process PCs up to any level you choose, which seems to be rather important to me. Possibly, a couple of hundred Theta Clears on the face of this earth today, could handle this world the way it has never been handled before. If they stuck to it to straighten things out, and they stuck together, and they were fairly well agreed upon their goals - that they were going to put this planet in pretty good condition, they would probably lay it out, segment it out, and figure it out. Gee! Things would get, - uh - different. I wouldn’t say they would get calm. You wonder if a group of Theta Clears would hang together, and I can very well state, they would.

We could do that if the MEST body and the Theta body never separated. This technique must work for you - it will work for you. There is no question about that, but I want it to work now, I want it to work rapidly. I don’t want you to have any trouble with it. I want to thank you very much for your attention during these last 5 nights. You have been a very good audience, and I hope that this material has shaped up for you, so that you know what it is. I want to express my appreciation for your very fine interest and eagerness in this subject. Thank you very much.

In the very complex process involved here then (it doesn’t look very complex to you the first moment you start running into it and it starts proving up) you will find your PC going over a bridge of confusion. What his basic confusion is however, is first: Where is he? What is he? and then eventually he will get a somatic and this somatic will be different from what and where he thinks it ought to be. Then he will have an awful time running this somatic, because he’s got a MEST body in the place where the old MEST body was. After he has run this and its emotional cycle 2 or 3 times - it unconfuses, and he more or less goes across the bridge. You can expect to have anybody you try to process through that area . . . you can expect to go through it- yourself - to find your MEST body very much in the road of your old MEST body facsimiles that are inside of the Theta body. They will get in the road, and you will get all mixed up sometimes, but that is about the only mix up there is.

Once you get that thing - straightened out, you have straightened out the basic neurosis’s possible in life, which is a confusion of identity. You get that straightened out, and you no longer have any confusion of identity. The second you have no con- fusion of identity, believe me, nobody can do anything to you. Except to turn some electronic guns on you, and get you re-aberrated and into some sort of situation. Or you going out and getting yourself fouled up beautifully and gorily by taking over this MEST body, and that MEST body, and this other MEST body, and getting stuck finally on one, and saying: “The dear, sweet thing, I’ll take good care of it.”

Then you wind up by saying: “I’m it. I’m going to devote myself wholly to it, now I’ve sacrificed everything for It.” Simple, and silly.

The confusion then, is just these things that I have enumerated. The first is, Don’t confuse these 2 processes. You can run anything with Technique 80. Technique 88 is clearing the MEST body out of the Theta body. Technique 88 is the handling of the Theta body, and it is a Theta body line of techniques. Now, if we had another method of application besides 80, which was applicable on 88, we would use it. It would not alter 88. Understand this - it wouldn’t alter 88, because all 88 is, is the knowledge and know how necessary to clear a Theta body. You have to have the data - 88 is the data. Where has it been? What has it done? Now understand that there is a terrific amount of technology involved in this sort of thing. I’m not telling you this is hard to know. It isn’t hard to know, but believe me, it is pretty hard to find out. I stand up here very glibly, and I tell you that the Theta body is on the outside. How long do you think it would take to find that out? How long do you think it took to develop some kind of a technique whereby you could demonstrate it to somebody so that he could get unconfused? How long do you think it took to go through the walls of confusion which I am telling you about right now, and fight through them completely blind? It took quite a while. But, I’m telling you now, right where the confusions are.

The next confusion line is the person trying to run a Theta body - he’s trying to run a- Theta body holding some old MEST body (he is his Theta body) you are trying to process this old MEST body, and he is getting it confused with his own MEST body. The next thing you know, you think you are processing this body here in present time with big somatics, only that isn’t where it is - it’s past. You have got to get him to a point where he is differentiating between this body and the body he’s had. It’s long gone, he is processing its facsimiles. When you get to a state where that is very easy to do (and by the way, that isn’t very hard to do) all of a sudden you feel this body kind of evaporate, and your concentration level is very very high on your present MEST body. You are very aware of it - it is something like having a sliver in your finger - you are very aware of it. You will eventually get to the point where you sort of feel no substance for this body, and you feel the old body. That is when your facsimiles are really running well, and running smoothly. Let’s say that you are running and feeling the arm of the old body, and the facsimiles are so arranged that the arm of the old body actually penetrates through this body, but you don’t feel this body at all, you just feel the arm of the old body. Do you get the idea? You just get the shape, the size, the characteristics of the old body, disentangled from this body. Well, the old facsimile is in the past, and this body is in the present, so what -you are actually doing is separating past and present, and your awareness of time markedly increases.

The next thing that there is any confusion on at all is simply your desire - why did you do it, and so on. I can tell you by rote why you did it, but you will have to run it in order to be convinced, because it is pretty powerful, pretty strong. It is just the magnitude of emotion on the incident, that’s all. It isn’t that you have to cry or anything else, these emotions run very easily. There is very little confusion possible, if the truth be known. Those are the points of confusion.

The other one is: Don’t let anyone get into the basis of “THEY.” You can audit somebody and process them on motivators, motivators, motivators, what was done to him, what was done to him, what was done to him in the MEST universe. He gets the idea finally that there wasn’t anything all through the MEST universe but a bunch of villains who had nothing as their goal except his banishment’s, punishments, and kicking him in the teeth, and this is not true. He sure did his share. So, don’t let anybody get confused about that. The second you start to get anybody confused about that, you have a point where you know that you are not running 80 correctly. That is to say, you are not running enough overt acts or enough DEDs. It tells you immediately that this person has done far more overt acts than he has motivators to account for them, the second he starts that line with you - so you just run overts instead, Pay attention to this fact: Are you all unbalanced? Do you keep on running on this PC things that have happened to him? Or do you salt it off, and get what he has done to others?
