Last lecture I talked to you ahout the Tone Scale. And you'll notice on this Tone Scale, the higher you go on the Tone Scale, the more a person is in a position to think; that reason is a definite index of this Tone Scale. And T showed you, also, that down here from 0.6 to 2.2 you have an effort band. There your people are very, very MEST. Above that slightly is an emotion band.

What I published mainly was adventure and what they used to call "psychological" stories. And I wrote an awful lot of science fiction that never saw the light of day - never bothered with it very much.

Well, thought effects - or makes its effects upon the physical universe - by translating itself into motion or effort; see, thought translates into effort by emotion. So emotion could be looked upon as a sort of a bridge - Tone Scale positions on this bridge. And actually all it is, is how thought is joining effort and counter-effort. Thought joins effort and counter-effort, and the state of beingness produced is, we call, the emotion of the individual. It's very simple.

But I opened up an old book that nobody's ever looked at and it's got a complete system of spacial navigation in it. It tells how you navigate in space and it goes on and on, on the subject. It's very precise, And I looked it over and I wondered at the time why I was so glib about writing this. Well, then all of a sudden I looked at the name of the planet and where it was, and went over to the psychometer and got twoband drops on it - the name of this planet and the name of the system.

So therefore, you look at emotion as having two bands: from the middle of the band up is by a thought and from the middle of the band down would be by effort. In other words, when the mind translates to the brain a decision, it goes across the bridge of emotion into effort. So that you can take a person and hit him and produce an emotion and produce a thought, or you can make a person think something which will produce emotion and produce an effort.

Male voice: What was the name of it?

If you want to get somebody to work heavily and hard at something, this is very simple: What you do is give them a thought which is capable of restimulating an emotion which is then capable of putting: the effort into action. So that before troops go into battle, for instance, you have to determine what kind of an effort you want. You want a destructive effort, so you make them angry. So you give them a thought that makes them angry which will turn on a destructive effort. This is mechanical as holding a puppet cross and making a marionette dance. You give them the thought necessary to produce the emotion to produce the kind of work you want - uery simple. Or you give them the effort necessary to produce the emotion which will produce the thought.

Planet Darengo in the Sirius system.

You, in the physical universe, are not dealing straight across the line with emotion except in the form of counter-emotion, You can feel this counter-emotion from people, and that's just sort of cutting it in the middle.

Male voice: Darengo.

So here you have - this isn't the Tone Scale. This could approximate the Tone Scale. But step one is the thought and here's the emotion [tapping on blackboard] and here's the counter-effort.

Second male voice: What series was that - which story was it?

Now, when we've got the emotion in the counter-effort area, it's actually misemotion because it isn't pure enough in its state - it's overbalanced. More than 50 percent of it is into the effort. As a matter of fact, probably as much as 95 percent - something way up in percentage - is mixed up with effort, not with thought.

Sirius system.

So here down in this band of the counter-effort band, if you want to produce effort, the only kind of effort you can produce is destructive - overtly or covertly - or efforts to run away or efforts to quit or efforts not to do anything and so on, when you use misemotion. That the only kind of efforts you can produce, then, are the efforts to destroy, to run away or to quit - I want you to take good cognizance of that. That is from 2.2 down, those are all, actually, that is present: to destroy, run away or quit.

Male voice: Sirius system.

Now, you look over on the Tone Scale and you find out that from 2.2 down to about 1.2 is the band of resentment, anger and destruction, and the kind of action produced is destructive action.

The Kingslayer.

Now look at that again. Where's this society operating? In other words, when you use punishment drive, when you tell a person that if he doesn't do so-and-so, you're going to punish him, which is to say, you're going to apply effort to him or take effort away from him, such as starve him - you're going to handle him by effort, not by thought - the only possible reaction you're going to get is destructive, retreat, or quit Now, that's very interesting, because you have seen punishment drive applied in societies, and the society apparently stumbling along somehow. But that is the little hooker in it. It so happens that where the society is succeeding, it's succeeding because of a thought; there's a thought injected in there.

(The R&D provides the following note: "The Kingslayer: a science fiction novel written by L. Ron Hubbard and first published in 1949, in which a brilliant young engineer is kidnapped by a member of a revolutionary group, told of the existence of "The Arbiter," the person responsible for all the world's evil, and sent on a mission to find and destroy him." - note that this was reprinted in paperback in the 1970s under the title of "7 steps to the Arbiter" - FZBA)

For instance, out here at Boeing, if the people worked just for one reason - just to get paid - no airplanes you see, would ever get built. I don't say they are building airplanes right now, but the point is - the point is, that their success would be way low and hardly anything would be happening. But there are people who go out there with a little enthusiasm and desire to get something done, and they last for a short time before they're driven by punishment drive down into the effort band. You see? They last for a short time, and therefore they will translate, through emotion, a thought into constructive action. And that's how pxrr airplanes get built.

Third male voice: Yeah. Darengo

And the airplanes get destroyed and the plant gets slowed down by the punishment drive. And the 1.0, this low 1.0... Or 0.6 up to [marking on blackboard] 2.2 - this low band is tolerated because there is thought present in the group. In other words, a group can never be drivn into doing anything but destroying, running away or quitting. It can be driven, then, into anger, fear, apathy.

Darengo. Planet, I think, twelve - twelfth orbit (laughs) - how nuts can you get? I go over and I take a name I thought up fifteen years ago or twelve years ago or something like that for a planet, put it on the psychometer and knock the machine off its pins.

So that if you want to get something built, you have to apply plenty of good, constructive thought. In other words, you have to apply thought - reason. There has to be reason supplied.

Male voice: Action always precedes thought.

You take a group now and give them a good reason why something should be done - that's a thought, you see? And this thought will then go out in the direction of emotion, taking the place of exhilaration, enthusiasm, or even cheerfulness or even conservatism or even boredom - upper level of boredom - and you'll still get some construction.

Fact. It does seem to be a fact. That's why I've always had such a struggle with people telling me about imagination, because previously I didn't used to be able to account for what seemed to be pure imagination being so confoundedly factual to me. And I used to get puzzled about it. Story after story, though, I've written up big chunks of past lives. And these stories blow, by the way.

But if you go in tearing into them and say, "You've got to, because if you don't..." And what you'll get is destruction, withdrawal or quit - defeat. That is why armies are so popular as a human attitude at this stage of the human race, because, you see, it is very simple to form up an army. All you've got to do is threaten to punish everybody and an army gets formed. And then if you threaten to punish them some more, they will destroy. So that's why you have war as the favorite indoor sport at the present time. It's the nearest people can get to constructive action on a broad, mankind level. And they'll point out to you all sorts of good things that come out of war. And you'll find these good things always existed before the war.

I'll be running an incident, lickety-split, and all of a sudden I'll run into one of these things - crash! And I freeze up. Because, you see, I was writing on an electric typewriter, and it goes humm - bapity-bapity-bapity bapity-bap - crash! bapity-bapity-bap - crash! Bapity-bapity-bap - hmmmmm. Great stuff.

But if somebody could say, "This is very destructive!" why, then, somebody during a war period will invest money and energy. They'll make this thing destroy. That's how you got an atom bomb. Nobody would have built - at this Tone Scale of the society, nobody would have built an atom bomb, or nobody would have conquered the atom, for the simple expedient of making it easier for man to get places or go to the stars or something constructive like that. And what are they threatening to use it with right now? So you see, just with these examples, some evidence of this.

So, naturally, sitting there at this electric typewriter pounding out a story would lay the story in as a lock or something. And I go running through this incident and everything's free and clear till all of a sudden I hit a section of it I've used in a story. Go suddenly back, 1522 or something of the sort. I've used a little section of actuality in a story, you see, and I'll just hit them - crunch! And I went "What the heck is this?" see. Work at it for a moment, and then all of a sudden hear this hmmmmm, then whooh blow that out.

Reason, through emotion, will generate constructive effort to the gain of the various dynamics. Force applied will generate misemotion, which will result in destructive efforts.

Male voice: Typewriter in the sky.

Now, this I'm telling you is not for the purpose of making you go out and reform the society. I'm telling you this as auditors so that you know how to handle a preclear. A preclear who is forced to run the incident without any good reason, and is simply forced and pushed and hammered and chopped into running this incident and then harassed and beaten through the incident, is going to turn up at the other end of the session lower on the Tone Scale, because you've applied force or threat of force. So it's much easier,actually to get a preclear to run by forming ARC with this preclear. ARC: affinity, communication and reality - reason, in other words. No matter how long it takes, you aren't going to get anyplace with this preclear, bringing him up the Tone Scale, if you just drive him into everything. So it tells you something about auditing tone, tells you something about that.

Yeah, typewriter in the sky. And I wrote a story once called Typewriter in the Sky. It talked about a guy who was living through somebody else's plot in the book, and this guy kept living through this other person's plot.

Now, the very best reason you can give any preclear to run an incident is to show him somebody in his immediate environ who is startlingly well, because, you see, this is high Tone Scale. So if you can't run preclear A, don't beat your brains out trying to clear him up as an inaccessible psychotic, which is what he is. Run preclear B to a level which is demonstrably high.

Female voice: A continuum to yourself.

Now, of course, your real, true psychotic has to be approached very, very gently. And I think most of them you will find in Facsimile One computing on it or dramatizing it.

Yeah. Yeah, I was undoubtedly doing one.

All right. Now this should tell you, then, that in the field of thought, by using these principles, this should tell you the various ways you have of handling a preclear and how to handle the preclear. And actually you don't need to know much more than this. If you persuade him, if you are pleasantly emotional, not misemotional - angry, afraid and the rest of this, you'll get the incident run. And you'll be surprised what a preclear can run for a reasonable, pleasant-mooded auditor - just run anything for him.

Well, anyhow, as I'm busy writing this confounded thing, I get up an enormous number of locks all over the place on that confounded typewriter.

Whereas, you take another auditor and this auditor is the favorite type of the United States Army or the psychiatric profession or something of the sort, and he's going to beat this preclear through there, and he's not getting well - this preclear isn't getting well "because it's his fault!" What are you going to get? You're going to get a sicker preclear. I don't care what you run off the preclear.

Nobody's run me through Facsimile One; I've been about halfway through it. And, boy, it is really nailed down with that confounded typewriter.

So I'm going to give you a solution to this. In the Handbook for Preclears, you will find ten steps listed for the treatment of the psychotic.

I wrote the first book on Dianetics on that typewriter. And, boy, that first book - I've tried to blow it off every once in a while as postulates and locks, and it just never has blown; it just won't blow. I started into Facsimile One and, boy, it's like running a Mack truck into the side of a mountain. There's that book sitting there.

In Advanced Procedure and Axioms, the first four steps, actually, will resolve psychosis.

Male voice: Could you do it by reading the book, Ron?

But those ten steps for the treatment of the psychotic should be applied to the ravingly insane, to those who are merely inaccessible, won't listen, apparently don't want to get well, and they're saying to you, "Oh well, I don't know whether that stuff is any good or not," and "I read in the paper the other night that there was a big new drug come out. And of course, this is going to solve all man's ills - just a new pill." And he takes a pill and throws it down his throat and he's going to get well.

Hm?

By the way, a new drug comes out about the average of once a week. It always gets front-page news: "Miracle Drug Now Cures Tuberculosis in Five Minutes!" That's the first news release - the American Medical Association or somebody.

Male voice: Could you do it by reading the book?

Second news release: "New Miracle Drug Being Used in Local Hospital" - still front page.

Pretty well.

Now we get page two: "Miracle Drug Cheaper in Production." Up to this time it was $100,000 a milligram.

& I guess that's why the book looped people, as much as anything else. It just - the book just dropped down on Facsimilie One and they'd spin.

Now we get page five: "Miracle drug cautioned in its use. Local physician states..."

Male voice: How about the captain's farewell in To the Stars? The farewell letter in To the Stars?

Page fifteen, back in the "Want Ad" section: "Miracle drug on further examination is discovered not to cure anything," or "... cures isolated cases but deprives them completely of their sense of balance."

Yeah. Well, To the Stars is probably factual as far as life in that kind of an operation is concerned; it's probably very factual, but the stretch of time isn't. And I knew it at the time that it wasn't. I was under orders from the editor to write that.

And this cycle is a continuing cycle. And somebody says to you, new miracle drug - he'll buy that, but he won't buy anything you've got that would make him well. This gets puzzling to you because you've seen these miracle drugs invalidated, invalidated, invalidated. And nobody notices that they're getting invalidated every time.

Hm?

Something comes out, it says: "Histamine. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!" And then the next - when it gets to page fifteen it's: "Don't take any histamine, particularly when you're driving, because it'll make you awfully sleepy. And it makes people sick at their stomach, and it evidently isn't very active on allergy anyhow." Now, that cycle is the drug cycle.

Male ooice: The letters that came back on that about the-big dissertations on "time."

Female voice: So many people are so nuts about taking this stuff, you think that might be in Facsimile One too?

Oh, yeah, I know. Boy, people really got upset about time factor because the time factor isn't straight; that isn't true.

Yes, undoubtedly.

I was running through one of these incidents and boy, if I had hit this stuff trying to run it a couple of years ago on myself, I would have thought, "Boy, this is really delusion; I'm really hallucinating now." But I start running through one of these incidents ... The hero in To the Stars is an engineer tenth class, which was their aristocratic and plebeian scale. It started up at first class, second class, went on up the line - tenth class, Tenth class wasn't very high.

By the way, I wouldn't criticize any organization or any profession on this in any way, because pills - pills are something solid and structural. And Facsimile One says specifically that you should not touch the human mind: you mustn't go through any incidents, you mustn't monkey around with it, you mustn't try to get well and you're better off sick anyhow - that sort of a thing. So it's no wonder that man has been driven over into drugs.

But I'm running through this incident like mad and I don't know where the heck I am, and all of a sudden I come up against - crash! And I start running one where I hang this jacket up on a peg. I'm just running a lock on this jacket - and there's a 10 on its collar! (laugh)

Structure does not do much to function when we get the final count. Nevertheless, you, in auditing, are going to get this as your highest competitor. It doesn't matter what a drug does to a human being, he will take it in preference to auditing - which might do him some good. But he isn't avoiding auditing because it might do him some good; he's really avoiding Facsimile One - and doing a terrific avoid on it.

Yeah, you know, you think you've got problems. You think you've got problems in processing, but you haven't been commercializing and selling your engrams for years! (laughter)

So how do you solve this proposition? There are enough who will listen who can be shown as shining examples to those who won't listen, that those who won't, will.

There's only one that's got me worried: has anybody here ever read Fear?

Therefore, in this field of handling preclears - in the field of how you think about preclears and how you handle them - you should not try to break your brains out tackling the inaccessible. You tackle first on the line, and if that case seems unwilling to resolve, you tackle the second on the line, until you've got a case resolved. Now, your confidence will be up at that time. So you take another case that is WILLING and you resolve that case. And by this time you've got a couple of shining miracles walking around, so you can get the first case just walks in, sort of falls down on the couch and runs it.

Female voice: Oh yes, I'm on it now.

What is the influence of thought and what is the limitation of thought?

Yeah! Well, that's got me worried! (laughter)

The limitation of thought is Facsimile One. Beyond that I know of no limitations of thought, except that thought attached to effort can be nailed down and made aberrative by misemotion, punishment. That can be done, but that's all that gets wrong with thought.

& Is that on? (refering to the recording machine)

And by taking, let us say, a group of ten possible preclears and by choosing out of that group - regardless of how bad off Amy or George is, regardless of how bad off they are - take the one that resolves fastest. Take the one that looks like it will just run Facsimile One as easy as can be. Pick that one, because you will then resolve Amy and George. But don't pick Amy or George if they don't look like they're going to resolve fast.

& (unitelligible answer in background)

So you look around and you find the easiest preclear you can possibly find. After all, you're only going to invest a few hours work on this preclear - just a few hours. Clean the case up. And then all of a sudden everybody looks and they say, "Gosh! What is that bright, shining light walking down the street?" And they say, "Well I ..." - their doubt goes down. In other words, you've brought their tone up just by bringing up slightly the tone of the whole race through one person.

& Is it live? (tapping on the mike)

You take the next in line - the next easiest. Don't go beating on the doors of the local sanitarium and trying to get down to the hospital and so on - that's no good. Just take anybody that comes along that looks like they're a very easy case and finish the case. And then take somebody else that's very easy and finish the case. And if you've got five or six people in the few square blocks surrounding you up to this level, the whole neighborhood would be doing a little gab-gab about it. And the first thing you know, you'd find thirty or forty cases showing up which formerly would have been a little bit tough for you to work on. They'll resolve easily. And by this time the toughest case in the neighborhood will walk up, lie down on the couch, be run for two or three hours, or four or five hours or something like; that, or maybe not even that long, and go boom! - up the scale.

By the way, don't let me worry you too much with all of this space opera. Space opera has always been a hobby of mine. I would rather write space opera than anything else. For the good reason that when I first began to research in engineering, my first research was concentrated on reaction engines - reaction motors. And I designed a reaction motor in 1932 which is a controllable V-2, It's still on file; it's in an engineering journal.

And then, you see, what happens after that is the people, when they walk by on the street and just happen to see the front door, automatically blow Facsimile One! (audience laughter)

It was tested. This motor was made out of plumber's pipe and cans of liquid fuel and so on. Very, very advanced sort of a reaction engine for this day, but that reaction engine is just a lousy makeshift compared to some of the reaction engines I've been running into in this stuff. I know my reaction motors, and it's no wonder.

Male voice: March them by there.

But the point is, the point I'm trying to make is, don't worry about this space opera; if it isn't there, why, it isn't there for you, that's all. If you want to have lived on earth and your preclears want to live on earth, I wouldn't advise you (you're my friends, after all) - don't go start walking around and telling people about space opera because they're not going to believe you. And they're going to say, "Well, that's just Hubbard, and he's got a lot of space opera and you've got a lot of science fiction readers in your midst and these fellows just got super-restimulated, and all these stories are coming to life and all that sort of thing." This is the kind of a line that people can throw back at you.

That's a little bit exaggerated, of course. But it happened once, two thousand years ago. That is faith healing. It is such sudden confidence, such sudden faith, that the bank blows.

What you want to produce is a maximum effect, so you don't bother to explain to your preclear anything about it or anything of the sort. He'll run into the space opera just as you will.

Now, you know that you could - maybe you don't know this but you'll know when I tell you: A person can be broken down on the emotional scale so steeply, sharply and suddenly that they can be killed. That's what's known as shock. A fellow running along in a car and hitting a brick wall at 20 miles an hour gets bruised. If he hits it at 120, he might not even be bruised, but if he got stopped that quick, he would drop on the curve fast enough to kill him.

A guy calls me up from New York: "How do you run such-and-such and so-and-so?" I tell him how to run such-and-such and so-and-so. He calls me up two days later and he says, "Hey,'this isn't a real incident."

Now, a sudden drop, then, will produce an enormous physiological change in a person. What happens when you get almost as sudden a surge up?

"What's the matter with it?"

Here is Bill walking down the street, and he has seen this girl Agnes a lot of times. And Agnes has been walking around the neighborhood on a crutch, and she wears glasses and she's in terrible shape. And here he sees this pretty girl standing on the corner and he saysp "Gosh! Hello. Don't you look familiar to me?"

"Well, I don't know. I'm on this spaceship and I'm standing there at the porthole looking at a planet go by, and they've just given an electric shock to a fellow and I feel regret on it." And he says, "Space opera is all it is; it's just space stuff." He says, "I don't want to run that. I don't want to be that kind of a guy. I just want to be an auditor. I just want to make people well!" And he said, "Besides, I never read this stuff."

She says, "Well, yes, I'm Agnes."

Male voice: Oh!

And he sees the similarity suddenly. He'll go up the Tone Scale - zing! And you could produce a reverse shock fast enough to clear him, theoretically. You get the idea? He says, "You're what? How could this be? How could this possibly be?"

Yeah.

And she says, "Why, that auditor down the street did it."

That's interesting, isn't it!

"Why, that stuff! I didn't think it was any good." Zhhhuh! Zing! He goes up the line again. He looks at her and then he says, "It must have been something else. Probably she was taking Bromo Seltzer. Maybe ... maybe it was that surgical operation she had when she was five that suddenly clipped in, and that did it. They said it might take a long time." He's got a lot of doubts, you see?

It's also interesting the preponderance of people in this field who have been very interested in science fiction, and it's also interesting that the people that we start swamping up a little bit start coming up with much better electronics than ever before. And people are in this who are interested to a large degree in thought - metaphysics, mysticism and this sort of a line - who have been very interested in thought.

And then all of a sudden he's walking around the corner and there's been an old lady sitting on a porch with a wheelchair who is just in horrible condition - arthritic, you know, and she's in terrible shape, and she's - he sees this person run down the steps, trot-trot-trot, trot-trot-trot, and swing down to the corner. Ulp. It's old Mrs. Smith! And he hopes that this isn't the case at this time, because he's facing something he's not quite sure of, and he said, "Good afternoon, Mrs. Smith!"

And these two fields are almost continual in their consistency of interest throughout this entire subject. Now, that should remark something to you because it was the basic conflict, from the data I have to hand - good or bad data.

And she says, "Oh, hello, Bill!"

Here was an advanced people - advanced peoples - moving in on simple peoples, or advanced mechanical peoples moving in on advanced thought peoples. Civilizations would go out in this "Y": These people would concentrate on thought - "What could you do in the humanities?" Or they'd concentrate on MEST - "What could you do in the physical universe?" And you'd get this cross; sooner or later these things would come into conflict.

And he says, "What did it to you!"

And what is our present drama and conflict in this world right now? The atom bomb, which is a high level on the MEST line, coming into conflict with the humanities. So anybody who has a thought background very thoroughly is quite concerned about the fact that we have no present modus operandi in the society of humanizing man swiftly, (Of course, we realize we don't have this!) And so the point is that here is this basic conflict demonstrating itself today - demonstrating itself very heavily today.

"Well, that fellow down the street - Scientology," and so forth. "Well, I've got to catch the bus I've got to go down and take my dancing lesson," He goes into a high-level shock - stunned. High level, though. He's been zinged up the Tone Scale a couple of times. Now, this is an extreme case. You can do it on a milder level than this and still produce results.

But don't become terribly uneasy about these incidents. But also, for God's sake, please don't dodge around Facsimile One as an auditor. Please don't! Because this is just cruelty. Actually now that you know about it, letting a preclear suffer through and agonize around through a birth or through an engram or a tonsillectomy or some automobile wreck, something like that - unless it's an assist - is about of the same order of tying a dog up and then beating him with a chain. Because it's just not sensible, that's all.

When he walks down to you, if he had just heard about Agnes and he walks down to you, he's still full of doubts, he doesn't quite know and so forth, then he doesn't know about you.

Whereas you can spend actually less time in running Facsimile One. And what you'd want to do is raise tone. You know, we've been trying and trying and trying and trying to raise people's tone. That's been the big thing: Get them up above this counter-effort band; get them up high on the Tone Scale. And, boy, they just go off of those psychometers; they just go off the top of the psychometers. We had to have them install another switch on this one.

Well, he already doesn't know about himself. And when you compound the felony by fixing it up so he doesn't know about you, and have no confidence in what you can do, why, you're going to find yourself in a bad position as an auditor, because 50 percent of the confidence is gone out of this team. So you see how to work it.

And Mathison, since the Handbook (by the way) for Preclears has reached the coast out there, has redesigned his machine with a switch to throw it on the upper tone band. The machine would not match up. And now that we've found Facsimile One...

Now, people who come around and say, "You got to prove it to me!" or "If you can do anything for me, it'll mean a lot to you! I mean uh . . ." so on. Now if you fall for this you're in for trouble, because he's got doubt - have to prove it to him. Well, so, that's tough. And you can go on banging your auditing brains out from one end to the other and you probably wouldn't even get to Facsimile One, if you go on the line of only working cases that have to have it proven. So pick the cases that don't have to have it proven.

Male voice: Brother.

Now, why is this business of faith and doubt and sudden shock - why is this so productive? On this Tone Scale of thought, as you'll see in the Handbook for Preclears, up at the top here is [tapping on blackboard] "faith," In another column is "I know." Another column has as its top "trust" and at the bottom is "distrust." How distrustful can you be? Dead! So if this person is hanging down in the counter - low countereffort band, his thought, thought all by itself - it's below, usually, 2.2. And as a result you're going to find him incapable of arranging his thought or concentrating on you enough to do a good, clean job.

Yeah. Because it's going to go off - the first machine, the switch - it's going to go off of that. People will go off the top of that - just the proportionate rise in tone - just what we've been trying to do. Now you can demonstrate that this happens.

Now, there's an advantage which I have over other auditors: People do not and never have questioned my ability as an auditor. There's no point in it because I keep turning cases out. I patch cases up. I diagnose a case... Two auditors - they've been working seventy hours on this case - they come in and they look all haggard and down and so forth and they set the case down. They've been up too close against this case. You take some elementary principle, and you say, UWell, why don't you run so-and-so and so-and-so on the case?" And they say, "Well, all right."

By the way, how do you feel, Nan! How do you feel? (addressing the PC from the previous demo session)

Of course, this fellow heard me say that such-and-such should be run and the auditors heard it said, and what that's done is shoot them up above the counter-effort band. And if I said, "Well, go run the time he fell in the pig trough," the guy-it's a cinch - would get better. And that's not because of me or any mysticism or anything else; it's just the fact that it's generally accepted I know what I'm doing. Now, that's simple, isn't it? I sure ought to know what I'm doing - I developed the subject!

Female voice: Rather nice.

Now, all right. One of the things that auditors in the field sometimes feel very badly about is the fact they don't get this same result. Well, they're not getting this same result for a good reason. It's a very simple reason: they don't think they can get it, so they don't try to get it. And they get down here in the counter-effort band and they start punishing preclears.

Well, did he run things right?

Now, another thing. They say, "Well, he says he can make them well and I punish them, but I'm trying to make them well and I'm working twice as hard as he is on this - I know - and it's not working as well for me?" Well, it isn't going to do it either. And they even can go to the point of getting upset about me. All right, fine. That really starts them down the Tone Scale. They get down, way down here.

Female voice: Mm,hm.

Now, what I'm giving you, then, when I'm talking about thought, is not just a little, mild hint; I'm giving you something which should have a very, very high evaluation to you - very high evaluation. Yes, I know there's lame and the halt and the blind, and I know they're in terrible condition. And I know that we'll have to work for a long time to get all this straightened up, and I know that there's people that demand your sympathy and your time and all of this sort of thing. None of these reasons, even the reason of the "ninth dynamic" - the buck (laughter) - even that reason should not argue you out of following what I give you as a very necessary part of processing: Pick easy cases when you go into any area. Pick nothing but easy cases.

Is it all out? What did you strike - heavy effort?

It's easy to tell an easy case. An easy case is usually fairly well formed. Simple, isn't it? And they're agreeable and they believe you can do something for them. You believe you can do something for them, merely by finding out the fact that they don't object to you or criticize the things you're saying. And they're sort of mild and pleasant, and you shoot them up the Tone Scale with this auditing. And therefore, you should be highly selective in your cases.

Female voice: Yes.

Audit only the very well, and make them superlatively well; so they don't need any streetlights in the town anymore as long as they have pedestrians around. That's the kind of a thing you want to build up.

The heavy effort just started on. You know why? She got tired.

Now you can get to a preclear this way: You say, "You know, your sister - your sister's in pretty bad shape. And I'd really like to do something to help your sister. But the funny part of it is, is I'd have to show her how this really works"

Male voice: That's right.

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

That's all right. We'll catch it and run the rest of the way out. Now, just checking on the number of hours it takes to run this: I can't make an estimate at this time how long you as an auditor are going to take to run this on a preclear - or you as a case, maybe, that's been stuck in it for a long time - how long it's going to take to free you out of it so that you can run it. The hours are quite finite. If they went up to fifty, I'd be disappointed in any one of you.

Well, then, as a favor to you, this very well person permits herself to be shot way up the Tone Scale (audited) although she doesn't - obviously nothing wrong with her; she's happy. She permits herself to be shot way up the Tone Scale so she'll serve as the shining example for her sister.

But I just had a mention that every time one pc here started into Facsimile One, she wound up in birth. Yes. It's the basic on all births. So they start to run Facsimile One and then - bong! - into birth.

People will do this for you. They will permit you to audit them although they obviously need no auditing. Because, you see, a person who doesn't need any auditing is thinking of it in terms of "I don't need any surgery". They don't know how much better they can be; they have no idea how much better they can be. And there's no reason for you to sit around and try to give them a big sales talk.

Now, it might be that she had a definite confusion in her mind as to the fact that really maybe she ought to be running birth. At that moment, somebody had better pick this up as a postulate, because it might be an auditing postulate. You might have made a decision about it.

Anybody you have to give a sales talk to should be ignored until you put into their environment several flaming torches. And this way you can win! But going at it from the basis of helping only those who need help, only those which challenge you, only those who can pay you, is going to keep you failing, keep the society failing and it'll keep you poor. And the "ninth dynamic" - the buck - will not come true!

Female voice: I nearer even thought of birth, but suddenly there were the efforts of birth.

Now, the funny part of it is, is right now, with the techniques at hand, if I had this ninth dynamic in mind, there could probably he a pile of crutches sitting outside my door down there - a young mountain of them, undoubtedly - and there could be an awful lot of money lying in the till, I could be auditing on a solid-gold bed and get some of the MEST of the world shaped up. Now, this is the truth!

Well, it's quite "birthful."

As far as trying to accomplish something with Dianetics, it'd be very, very nice and so on, and it would prove that Hubbard is a good auditor. And what we're trying to prove is Scientology is a good subject.

Female voice: What are the efforts and the ...

And the - one of the first things that people argue with you about - "Well, one man could do it, but others can't." Well, that's hogwash' If you go into it with that intent and that feeling and that suspicion, why, you probably wouldn't be able to do it, because you're working with something very tricky there. You're working with thought, and thought is as effective as it knows, as effective as it trusts, as effective as it has faith in itself. It is faith by the way - it doesn't have faith.

What are the efforts?

I'm not, by the way, asking you to "have faith in me." I am asking you to be faith.

Female voice: Could we run the physical efforts in this?

As Long as you have infinite time (which is up at the top of that band), as long as you have beingness - you're alive then, you're really alive - you can't help but succeed with auditing.

Well, you run whatever turns up; the physical efforts you'll have to run eventually.

But we are not dealing with some extraneous fact when we are dealing with the fact - when we say it requires some belief in order to do this. You see, we're not dealing with this fact. What I'm telling you is an artificial method of putting yourself as an auditor up the Tone Scale without running any engrams. You see?

Female voice: Is that a good thing to start with?

Now, it's necessary at the first stage to tell you this. After you get Facsimile One out, nobody will have to tell you this. But ours is the job of the blind helping the blind, to a large degree, don't you see? So that people who are just going to be torn to pieces by restimulation, people who are going to have an awful time of it and go home and have nightmares and feel they're going to go completely mad, still have to get themselves by the nape of the neck and go back and finish off auditing that preclear. Then they've got somebody who's well enough instructed and who's high enough up the Tone Scale that they can be audited.

No.

But there's a lot of us - includes me - are going to have to be doing a terrific amount of auditing which is highly restimulative because it's right on top of Facsimile One. And when you audit, you're going strait against Facsimile One.

Female voice: Start on the motion?

You're not supposed to know and you're not supposed to let the prg clear know and you're not supposed to let anybody know and you can't get through it anyhow! That's why auditors won't run engrams completely out of cases half the time - is because they're not supposed to be able to go through it or finish it. It says so in Facsimile One! And so they'll drop an engram before it's run out. Do you see how that would be?

Emotion.

So you just have to pick yourself up by the nape of the neck and say, "I am Superman!" And say, "Well, here I go. (Hmm-never had migraine headaches before, but I got a migraine headache.)" You know? But - "All right, go to the beginning of the thing ... (My, I'm getting awfully sick at my stomach) - go on, go on through it." The first level of approach on this, then, is a level of brutality, as far as you're concerned. Turn on your masochistic personality then, not your sadistic one, and knock out Facsimile One completely out of your preclear. Take off whatever locks are necessary to get to it - knock out Facsimile One. And do it on an easy preclear. Or do it on a preclear who will be competent then to do it on you. And you've got the two choices. And actually they're not choices: you ought to do both. You understand?

Female voice: Yeah.

Another thing is, don't go dodging around and not running Facsimile One as an auditor yourself. Don't go dodging around. Just because you're latched up halfway through Facsimile One is no reason why you have to stay there the rest of your life.

Start on the emotion.

What happens to auditors in the field is they get badly restimulated. They have an effort to keep the preclear still and an effort to help the preclear and an effort to do this and an emotion to do that, and they feel sympathy for the preclear and they feel they're doing an overt act and all this sort of thing. And all of that thing sort of shuts them off and closes them down if they keep at it very Long without any auditing of their own.

Male voice: But if she's starting to boil off, it's all right to let her boil off?

Because what happens? Now I can tell you what happens: They go into Facsimile One and there they are! And any auditor who stays at it very long will wind up in Facsimile One. So, if you're going to wind up in Facsimile One - you won't wind up there first case or so particularly - so run it out of somebody else, and any harm that auditing can do you will blow when you run Facsimile One. Now, that's heartening.

Oh, yeah. You're going to find a lot of boil-off on this. You may run it two or three times and then all of a sudden hit a pit of boil-off and then have six hours of boil-off - nothing but - or something like that may happen to her.

So if you're going around with a quivering, terror-stricken stomach for two or three days after you've finished auditing this preclear, that's all right. So you've got a terror-stricken stomach, so you feel at any moment you're going to have a convulsion - so what! It'll only be a week or so before you're out of it.

Male voice: You want us to concentrate on this one incident entirely as long as eve can run something on it, is that right?

Another thing is don't audit people when you're tired, and keep your own chin up and stop listening to all sorts of rumors about - this and about that, and what somebody has said about you or what somebody is going to do to you and all that sort of thing, because that just pulls you down. And it pulls you down on what? It pulls you down on thought.

Well, right now, auditing procedure - because I want to see how well you get along with doing this as much as anything else - but my auditing procedure is to do nothing but what is absolutely necessary on the case to clip Facsimile One and roll it.

So it's what you're thinking about and what your intention is, and it boils down to that. If your intention is to make your preclear well, if your intention is to run Facsimile One come hell or high water, if your intention is to carry on through with this so as to spread it as far as possible in the society by making as many shining examples as possible, you'll come out fine. You'll just do fine. There'll be some bumps on the road but you can take those. So your intention should be a high-level, constructive intention which has good reason to it.

This means that you may have identical efforts stacked on it someplace; there might be a crunch on the bank one way or the other. There might be something else mixed up with it or impinged upon it so heavily that you have to run it. But you know how much you run it? You know how much you run it! You run it just enough to get to the earlier one, to get to the earlier one, to get to the earlier one, to get to Facsimile One.

Now, in addition to that, you should turn out some miracles. You should always turn out miracles. Any time you want to be comforted about what you're doing, go out and turn on a miracle. Run Facsimile One out of a blind man; run Facsimile One out of a deaf man; run Facsimile One out of a person who is on crutches - anything. And, of course, they throw them away and see again and all that sort of thing. And it builds one's morale a little bit to do that.

Male voice: Like repeater technique.

But if you have an intention of doing the most good with what you know, then you should apply reason to what you are doing. Reason - good, solid reason to what you are doing. And that reason should say, "I want to create the best possible examples that I can create." And these will be the miracle case, or just turning somebody way up like a torchlight.

Yeah. By the way, this is an old technique with engrams. You get an engram - a chain of engrams, and you just run the engram once or twice so that you could get to the earlier time it happened, then run it once or twice, get the earlier time it happened, earlier time it happened, all of a sudden get basic on it, run basic out thoroughly and the rest of the incidents would blow.

And by the way, a lot of your miracle cases will run just like nothing. You say, "All right, let's go back to the beginning and run through to the end," and you sit there and mutter to yourself and let them just run. They run through to the end of it and you say, "Go back to the beginning and run through it again." And, of course, maybe their screams deafen you a little bit, but you let them run on through tt the end.

Well, there's nothing like Facsimile One under Facsimile One. There's deaths and other things under it, but they didn't hurt us any. Facsimile One was the louse-up on the line.

There's nothing much to it, but you have to know what you're doing, because all of a sudden they're liable to latch up in the middle of it someplace and say, "Oowazewowucewoeu! What do I do now?" and that is not the time when you go and find the handbook. That is not the time when you go look up on page four "What to Do in a Spin When 100 Feet above the Ground." You don't look this up at that point - you know that here. You know that here, you know what happens.

Male voice: Hm. What's the minimal tone range that you could run Facsimile One on a preclear?

And I'11 tell you that all of your handling is thought, emotion and effort - mirror image of the physical universe. Any facsimile, really will produce quite an effect the first time on your preclear and less next time and less next time and less next time. In other words, it'll get lighter before it gets "worser".

I would not even make a guess. Because you may have this kind of a setup: you may have Facsimile One establishing the tone of the preclear, He may be in a section of Facsimile One. So to gauge it, you just find out what you can run with it. You just try and run it, try and run it.

You should know about past deaths and you should know how to run them. Therefore, when we're learning auditing, anybody who just wants to get his big toe wets at first, he should first do something with thought itself, just as itself. And then do something with a little emotion, and then do a little something with effort. Just this life, you know? Just get used to these things and see how it works. And on a regular schedule, just do those things to some other case when you're really trying to learn and want to be sure of your tools, and then sample some incidents.

Male voice: Regardless of tone, try?

Are there any deaths around? I'm talking about learning the subject now. Anybody you can run a death out of! Well, all right. Let's run a death out and let's run a death out flat.

Just try and run it, that's right. Don't get the guy locked up in it.

Well, I'11 let you in on something: it's easier to run Facsimile One than deaths out of a lot of them. It doesn't matter. If you want to play around with it a little bit, you can run a real old-time engram, you can run a prenatal, you can run heavy secondaries and so forth.

Of course, you understand accessibility is a criterion there. You get a person who is almost psyche, who is - never really could - can't remember anything real or anything like that: if you start running anything like Facsimile One on them without bringing them up to a rational level, why, you'd get into trouble. Because you can get into trouble any time you run an effort on such a person. So you have to take locks off of it. But that's a very low-toned case.

The medical profession, now evidently, according to Life or Timeg or Reader's Digestlo or some other medical authority, (laughter) is now beating the drum quite a bit for prenatals. Yeah. They caught up. They're only two years late!

Now, I don't know any big bars. I have only seen one case around the school, by the way, that struck me as a person that - and this gentleman's gone now and he was brought well up above that band before he left. You remember the boy.

Well anyhow, this thought scale is a thought of reason, and at its top you have pure thought with no facsimile on it whatsoever. You have, you might say, thought which is unimpressed by anything. If it is impinged upon the MEST universe, it can come to decisions and think. But it is actually decisionless if not in - up against something in motion, because it's not in motion and it requires the physical universe to be in motion.

So I don't think Tone Scale has too much to do as a criterion. We'll know more.

Just down the line from that you get vepy light impressions from the physical universe, and a little bit below that you get heavier impressions.

Male voice: What's the degree of indoctrination necessary to give the preclear before he can run Facsimile One? Emotion, effort and thoughthow much does he have to know? How aware does he have to be of these phenomena going on in it?

And the first contacts and impressions with the physical universe merely produce the sensation of emotion in this thought level. So you're up there around 17.0, 18.0, something like that, on the Tone Scale. About all you contact in the physical universe is a sensation of emotion. The effort and the rest of the stuff is - actually doesn't impress you enough to pay any attention to it. I mean, things like walking, something like that, and talking and so on - you're not conscious of the exertion of effort.

Very good point. T was going to give a talk later...

Now, go down a little bit further: Well, you get heavier emotions such as enthusiasm; that's a heavier emotion. You go down a little bit earlier, you get a heavier emotion like, well, conservatism; below that, an emotion like boredom - which is getting awfully heavy, by the way. Boredom and apathy: apathy at 0,3, something like that, and boredom at 2.5, are thick, gluey sort of emotions. You wouldn't think that a person who's completely limp ,would have any emotion on them. But the odd part of it is that it's just like somebody emptied a gluepot over their heads. Any day - any day - anger is easier to get off than apathy. Well, I'11 talk about that later.

Male voice: Okay.

So, as you go down the line, you get this - a little more emotion contact, and you get down to about 2.2 and you're starting into the effort band, so that a person is conscious of the effort in the physical universe at almost every motion. He's conscious of the effort of walking; he's conscious of the effort of talking; he's conscious of the effort of seeing, of feeling - any one of these. He's conscious of effort - below the level of boredom.

.. on indoctrination of the preclear, but I can answer it right now. There's nothing much to it. What you want to do is make him run a thought. Then make him run a lock. And then see if you can't find an emotion - any kind of an emotion, even if it's determination or something of the sort - anything that: is an emotional state.

And he's conscious of effort down to the point where effort is so much that it just blows through him. He can't do anything because he can't stop any effort in any way, and of course that's apathy. And all there is on that is just solid glue. And actually, apathy is nothing but solid effort. And a dead body is nothing but solid effort - without any apathy.

All right, that's an emotion. He's all of a sudden got subjective reality on this. Now Let's run him on an emotional curve of some sort so he sees that his emotions shift and he gets reality on that. And then make him pick up something that's heavy and then run the effort out - then make him pick up this something that's heavy and run the effort out. Then show him what his effort is in it and then what the counter-effort is in it.

So you start at the bottom and go back up the scale again, you find down here at the bottom nothing but effort, force - very chaotic, unaligned, completely random. That's a dead man. Now up the line above that, you'll get apathy added to this force, and the apathy is an aliveness above the force. You see? Apathy is actually more alive than being dead. That's right! You wouldn't look at it that way, but that's your comparative - your levels.

And if you wanted to do a solid job of indoctrination and training on your preclear, so absolutely nothing could go wrong or he wouldn't suddenly go astray, I would leave it at that. Then I would say, "All right, there's an incident .."

Now, up here you get grief. And a person sobbing and moaning and crying and so on is much more alive than a person who is in apathy. A person who is in apathy has too much to cry, see? So you've got - you've added just a little bit more level. Now, it's actually effort; grief is almost solid effort, by the way. Apathy is practically solid effort. That's what's wrong with it, see? But a little more emotion has been added. In other words, when I'm talking about emotion, thought is just a little bit more in view.

Really; one of the best ways to give him reality on it and keep him from going off the rails is throw him on a machine. You take and throw him on this machine and you say, "Now, did you ever get hit in the middle of the forehead with anything?" Gong!

Until you get fear. When you get fear, why, there again the effort is a little less solid and the thought is just there a little bit more, so that these two in combination will give you fear.

And he says, "Funny, I got a somatic."

And in anger, the body has come up to a point in thought where the individual will actually hold on to effort that comes at him or hold himself back from exerting effort. Now, that's pretty high control above apathy. Apathy will do anything, by the way. You take a girl in apathy, she will do anything. And, boy, can you get in trouble with girls in apathy. That's no kidding! That's no kidding because you say, "The poor thing, she is so sorrowful, she is so sad, I mean, and she often sits around and just is limp, and so on. Somebody ought to help her."

And you say, "Yes. Well, how long ago was this? Was this last year?"

Well, that girl is so close to out the bottom, she'll pull you out through the hole too if you're not careful. If she'll do anything you say, then she'll do anything anybody else says. It's interesting. Now, up here above this level on anger is resentment. Now a person is getting pretty alive. Resentment actually shows quite a bit of thought. A person who is merely resentful shows the ability and capability of planning, of organizing and so on. And very often they'll slop over into constructive action on this. They will, even in the band of resentment.

"No. "

[tapping on hlackboard] Now, you get up to 2.5 and you of course are getting thought. But it's thought which is being balked by too much effort. You know, there's too many conflicts on this band for a person to be very alive about what they're doing. But a person in boredom will accomplish quite a bit, because I'm afraid boredom is way above the present "normal."

"Was it when you were four?" Little dab.

You get up above that, you get conservatism. Well, here's a person acting, here's a person thinking, and a person reasoning. But until;vou get to above the band of conservatism you can reach nobody by reason. They don't reason. You can't ask them to reason; they don't, You give them eighteen good reasons and they'll give you the emotion. And there's the band where you've got emotion, don't you see? You got emotion clear on up to 4.0; clear on up to 4.0 is your emotional-response action, Now these people still will take thought. They will take a reason. They will take thought and they will turn it into the emotion so that they can act on it. The emotional band is handling the effort band and the thought which is behind it is relatively slight, so that it's enough for you in handling such a person just to turn on the emotion. You turn on their emotion and their effort will handle it. I mean almost without any reason. You give them a direction which is - shows them which direction you want the effort applied, and then apply some emotion and the job gets done.

"Oh yeah, I remember that," he says, "I fell down when I was four."

And when you get up here [tapping on blackboard] toward 20.0, however, you've gone up to a point of where emotion is very subject to reason but it isn't the belabored - somebody gets the idea that reason is cold and calating. No, but 1.2s and 1.3s and 1.4s can be awfully cold and calculating.

"Are we referring to a much earlier incident?" Dive! "In what order of magnitude of years ago did this thing happen? Hundreds? Thousands?"

The people who are reasonable are not cold and calculating. They're quite volatile. Because what have we got here? We've got a scale of aliveness. And he's getting up to the point where he will actually translate thought into direct action. The effort is so easily handled by him that the emotion which he has to apply is practically nil. And it's only up around 20.0 that you'll see people producing peltergeist. You know, you tell something to move by thinking about it and it moves! That's why you don't see the phenomena very often in the Western world and so that people in the Western world don't think it exists.

He's saying, "What you doing talking to me about thousands or hundreds of years ago? What are you talking about? You know very well I was born in 1918 and I'll never be born again and I'll go to hell when I die."

That, by the way, is the usual bottom-level reaction: "If I haven't implanted it on a facsimile for me in the physical universe, it does not exist." Whereas, as you go up the band, you give the person reasons why and the person will all of a sudden figure it out. And he will know, because he's closer up to a truth level or not, whether it is or it isn't. He'll know instinctively whether it is or it isn't, I say "instinctively" - he'll know reasonably whether it is or isn't. That's all, He'll know whether it's true or untrue.

And you say, "All right. Was it tens of thousands? Was it hundreds of thousands? Was it a million?"

Now, when we get up above this level of 20.0, of course, we're receding from the physical universe to some slight degree and you can get a fellow up there to where he'll just be, all right, and he'll just know, all right, but he won't act. He's fully responsible, but if he's fully responsible, he doesn't select anything out of this full responsibility to attack or to throw any effort against because he's responsible for it too. So he doesn't get any motion.

"Yeah, I think it was a million. No, it was more than a million - what am I talking about!"

The way you get motion when you come down from full responsibility, by the way, is to select out a target and get mad at it and kick it around and do something about it. You've selected out an enemy. You say, "This is an enemy over here" - like I've selected out psychiatry. I don't care anything about psychiatry, truth be told. The guys are using Facsimile One almost straight through. And they're so thoroughly around in the valence of the people who did this originally, they're just keeping it going in the race with their electric shock and their prefrontal lobotomies and so on, But I don't care about that because we've got enough auditors to catch up to that. And this is - oh, three, four, five years, people will say, "Psychiatrists! What's that?" They will. Do you know they were once called alienists? How long has it been since you've heard that word? Well, someday they will refer to people who treat the mind as Scientologists. And somebody else will come along and say, "There was a profession known as 'psychiatrist' once." And people will say, "I wonder what that is."

The machine goes bizinnng! And he says, "A million years ago. Shot in the middle of the forehead a million ... What is this machine?"

And somebody will look up and they say, "Well, that was akin to neurology." "Oh! They cut out nerves and things like that, it must be." And everybody will say, "Yeah, That's right."

"Well, it's a lie detector. It's what the police use to know whether or not you're telling lies - if it doesn't act, why, it isn't true. But if you get a dive like that, that says that's true. I've got the goods on you. It's like if I ask you if you ever robbed a store or stole anything when you were a little kid." The machine goes bong! You say, "Did you ever steal anything when you were a little kid?" Bong! You say, "What did you steal?"

By the way, it's impossible, and there's a great deal to be said for people forced to use without knowing - forced to handle the violently psychotic, with something, with anything - do something to them. And so for the past many thousands of years they have beaten them, shocked them, given them drugs that drove them into convulsions, or anything to exhaust them or tame them or make them tractable in some fashion so that they would not have to be handled beyond that point in the society. There was never any effort or thought to make better human beings out of them.

"I never stole anything. I don't ever remember stealing anything!" Bong!

Now, in Scientology you have that as an intention. And anyone who then says Scientology is something else is forgetting this intention. What is the intention of this? It is not to make people tractable, it is not to make people civilized, it's not to make people tame. It's to make mankind, as a whole, a much better race! That's its intention. Only it means it with an exclamation point.

Well, you just say, "Well, the machine seems to know more than you do about it,"

So that anybody it treats, it treats people to make them better, more able human beings. That's its purpose. That's its intention - not to make them tamer human beings or better-adjusted human beings or something of the sort. Because you'll never get a race anyplace by adjusting everybody, because you don't leave anybody up top to do any of the adjusting. I wonder what happened to the race that PDHed the lot of us? I'm afraid they adjusted themselves eventually, too.

Female voice: Oh, good!

By the way, you will, in talking about this first facsimile, you'll hear about... Somebody will say, "Well, that's - that,.. Do you know that's - that must be insanity. You must be insane to think that, because in an insane asylum that's all people talk about."

Say, "All right, now you take this time you were shot in the middle of the forehead a million years ago." Bong!

And you'll do a double take on this and say, "I don't quite - - what - if ... You see, we're trying to hit the thing that causes people to be insane, and naturally that puts them in insane asylums, so of course in insane asylums you see this thing and that's all you do see?" And they'll say, "Well, yeah, but you can see how crazy it is - the stuff you're talking about - because in insane asylums ..." You'll get this circular reasoning because it doesn't have reason, don't you see?

"O-oh-oh-oh-oh-ho -ho-ho, I was, wasn't I? When did this happen? You know, a funny thing, I'm getting sick at my stomach. I'm getting nervous about this whole thing."

So when you start up against the level of reason, this is the reaction you're going to get. So what you want to do is handle your area, your people, with the simple expedient of using what matches their Tone Scale. Now, that doesn't mean that you have to punish them or threaten them or beat them around particularly, It does mean that you could back up the hearse" and get far more effectiveness.

"All right. Well, just lie down there and start in at the beginning and run right through to the end."

If you want to take glasses off somebody you say, "Well, wouldn't you like to get rid of your glasses? You know, you'd look better and you'd feel better and your eyes would be better if you got rid of your glasses," and yak, yak. No, no. That isn't the way to take glasses off most people. You go out here in the public where people don't know about this, the best way to take glasses off most people is say, "Do you know that glasses - glasses produce eventual blindness, and it's probably a very short time before you won't be able to see! You know that every few years you have to get stronger lenses! Well, it's later than you think!" And they'll say, "Gee! Is that so?"

Now, you've told him what thought, effort and emotion were. He knows more or less what he's doing with regard to this. But you don't tell him what to run in it. You just tell him to go from the first moment of it to the last moment of it straight through, and he'll pick up what he can get out of it. Usually, what he gets first is some emotion, some sensation, maybe a little perception. Don't press him, because sooner or later he'll run enough emotion out to start getting the effort. And boy, the effort in this thing is a lulu. And you want to get the emotion off if you can before you get to that effort so his tone is up high enough to handle that effort. That would be the main danger: that his tone was low and you chomped him into the effort.

That's right. And that's the way you can get glasses off. People are very interested in getting their glasses off by saying - if you put out a big rumor and said, "Glasses inevitably, 100 percent and all the time are the cause of cataracts. And anybody who wears glasses eventually gets cataracts. And the rubbing of these things on either side of the nose produces cancer. Now, you've noticed those little red spots on this pinch, so forth here. That produces cancer because of the enzymes of cigarette smoke that gets under them," or something. And you would have everybody taking their glasses off, right now! (laughter)

Because the effort is heavy. It's like a very heavy vibration - very heavy. So that your face - your face, for instance, feels like a board; it feels stiff. And you say, "I'm sure there's a mask or something over my face." Oh, no, there was nothing touching his face; that was the hooker, you see? There was nothing touching his face.

So your thought, in other words - thought as it goes up the line has to be more and more reasonably handled, but as it goes down the line, more and more emotionally handled, and finally handled only with effort, because that's what it is.

What there was, however, was a bzzzzzzzz in impacts - impacts. And these impacts were arriving so swiftly that they made a solid wall, and of course this made the fellow's face feel so awfully stiff. Now, sometimes it hit the mouth, sometimes it hit the lips, throat. And he'll get a tingle; that's his first inkling of it. That tingle's nothing. Before you get through, his lips are going to be just about that stiff, see? He's going to say, "I wonder how I can get out of this?" Or his forehead is going to be stiff or his eyes will just be staring like "I can't see. What's wrong with my eyes?"

And so when you are working in a neighborhood, the best thing you can do and the handiest way to go about it, is produce these terrific emotional reactions in people of making the very well into angels. Now, that would be very good. Or making the miracle case into a very, very high-level, healthy case. And this shocks people, startles them, is actually like a physical-force impact, is emotionally high and so forth. Of course, there are a few of you who will be burned as witches, but that's all right. We'll catch you in the next life and run it out. (laughter) Let's take a break.

Now, he must know enough about the arrival of counter-effort and he must know that it is a vibration in order to appreciate how to get rid of it. And you have to ruI1 his effort not to have that as he goes through it, so it starts shaking, because he was holding his face very stiff, see? And he can feel, then, the vibration of it. And then he runs the vibration against himself. And running this vibration against himself will kick it out as he goes through the thing.

Now, nobody died in the incident that I've found so far, (It'd sound ridiculous a few years ago to have said this, but I haven't found anybody that died in the incident). At first they're afraid they will and then they hope they do and then they don't care. Because it's all over the tone band.

The point about it is, is you've just got to run this thing until you get all the effort out of it. Now, the effort will exhaust out of it, but the effort sometimes will hang the person up. Well, if he's got any sensation of motion around him, if you can get any inkling of something else moving in his environment, the effort will start running because he gets this moving and that makes the effort move, and so it will reduce.

We have the tools necessary to reduce this thing. But for instance, there's this sensation of from this side to this side, from this side to this side; he'll get this change. When he goes through it first, he'll just feel this side turning on, and this side turning on; this side turning on, and this side turning on. What he'll find out eventually is that there's possibly a squeak in there of an unoiled wheel or something of the sort because what they've got is a machine and it moves. And if he can get the sensation of that machine flicking from side to side, why, he'll run the effort. Because you get one thing moving in the incident and everything else in the incident has to move. Do you get the idea?

In addition to that, I don't know that all these machines were alike. If I run a few more preclears ...

One of the things that was - made the telephone so unsalable, as I was discussing earlier with someone here, was the fact that it had a crank mechanism on the side of it and it went whirr-whirr as you cranked it - because that's the sound of the generator on this thing. And you crank it. And you can sometimes see somebody's knuckles or somebody's hand motion. And if you can just get that concept of that hand cranking, you can get the thing to moving and the effort will start to run out. And sometimes it was double crank like these - remember the "Mae Wests"?

(R&D volume note - Mae West: reference to a type of hand-cranked portable radio transmitter (also known as a Gibson Girl) included in aircraft life rafts during World War II. When cranked, the transmirrer would automatically send out an SOS signal. The name came from the radio's hourglass shape, reminiscent of the figure of American entertainer Mae West (1893-1980) or those of the "Gibson Girls" - young women drawn by American illustrator Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) in the late 1890s.)

Male voice: Mm-hm.

Well, it was some kind of a generator - manually operated generator. A very backward society - almost as bad as this one. Very, very interesting.

You know, with all the sleuthing with a guy who was supposed to be able to imagine things, to take as many years to find this and the techniques to run it that I've been utilizing in it, would demonstrate something as thoroughly loopy as this, because the thing just plain wasn't reasonable. It just isn't reasonable that there could be this much effort that could hit a human being and he could liue. And, of course, it'd have to be a very odd kind of effort. Well, it was! Supersonic effort. It's the black band of the supersonic scale. And that will cook meat!

Now, that's very loopy. A hand-crank mechanism has only been known in this society for the last seventy-five years, and this incident happened a million or a million and a quarter years ago, And so all of its computations - it wasn't anything that you would ever dream up to look for. Particularly since it says you're not supposed to, throughout. You're not supposed to dream this up.

So what we've got here is a map on this thing, and having this map, you can run it. But it will assault your credulity like mad for two reasons: (1) my telling you about it is going to restimulate it to some degree, and (2) it says inside it that you're not supposed to have any truck with it, think with it, run it through, pay any attention to it - that it's just you, and it's part of you, and it's very helpful to you, and it's God, after all, and this is your soul, and all it does is louse you up and divide you into parts and do a lot of things, but you have to have it. And half the time, or more than half the time, people went into it in the full belief that it was going to be good for them and make them godly. Yeah, they sold a bill of goods with it. Dirty trick,

Male voice: There we have God before the machine.

Yes sir. We had God before the machine.

Now therefore, why I'm talking to you about this incident and trying to give you as much as I can in briefing about it, and give you as much as I can in its shape and size and general characteristics of the fact, is I know doggone good and well a lot of you are sitting there and not believing it. Because it's tailor-made to be that way.

But let's reach it from this standpoint - let's reach it from this standpoint: If you've ever audited anyone through engrams that you know full well had the capabilities of destroying a lifetime and found them to be no better afterwards; if you have ever pounded your head against a case hour after hour; if you've ever watched anybody get more and more confused the more times you ran them early; if you've ever run people through past deaths and through the strangest computations imaginable without them getting much better - you can realize, seeing at the same time that individuals run through these very drastic incidents, did get a little bit better, you were producing results, the phenomena was there, the capabilities were felt and inherent in all the people that you were running. And you, therefore, should be able to recognize that it would be something pretty darn weird to throw us, as a people.

We're basically a very very strong people. Now, how did it ever come about that we went this far off the rails? Because believe me, we're off the rails: blowing up nations, nationalisms, insane asylums and everything else.

Now, two things can be done with this incident: One, you can unburden it - you can take efforts off of it and get a preclear away from it; you can run the handbook on him or run Self Analysis on him, and he has a tendency to come up and get out of it, and so he's better. Or you can audit efforts at random and occasionally accidentally get him into it and make him worse. And it is a sort of a grand tug of war - it has been - between the auditor, his efforts, his self-determinism, his valiance in trying to resolve cases, as to how much tag he could play with this incident and still make his preclear better. And the choice between that and simply bucking in and running a relatively easy-to-run incident shouldn't be any choice. It should be very obvious that the very least that you can do about this incident is to buck the preclear into the beginning of it and then just run it for all it's worth, straight through, and see what happens for yourself. Then get yourself run through the incident.

Because now, if we do that, we don't have to ask anybody to believe it. They can look at you and your energy and your smiling face and they'll know you've been through something, and you'll know it too. At the same time, they'll know how much better it was, so it must have been awful tough.

Okay?
