TECHNIQUE 88: CONCEPT RUNNING

TECHNIQUE 88: MOTION & MAYBE’S

A lecture given on 24 June 1952.A lecture given on 24 June 1952.

I want to tell you about Concept Running as an interspersal with the running of attention units. This technique can be blown up very high and very wide. You can make a big production out of it. There is no particular reason to do this, mostly for the reason that you don’t need it. It’s a nice big technique, but you will find its usage is simple. So, first I will give you the most complicated version that I have explored of it. I’ll give it to you rapidly, and not ask you to have anything to do with it at all.

The word MAYBE is in this case being semantically allied to indecision. It could be just as well allied to turbulent action. If a fellow decides the answer is just plain “No”, it doesn’t produce any conflict or enturbulence as long as he sticks by it. But, if he decides, “No, well maybe it should be Yes, but I’ll say No anyhow”, creates a little bit of enturbulence. Then the fellow says, “No, I guess Yes, No, I’m pretty sure, No, I guess I wont.” There is just a little bit more enturbulence. All the way out along the line to: ”Well, No, of course we ought to, but Yes, but No, but well, if you did, but I’d better not.” In other words, a normal state of mind. That is indecision. You go out from that considering decision as a wave, and you find that he decides, Yes (with reservations), then a little bit further he says, “Yes, and I’m going to make it stick”, and then he says, “YES”, and no enturbulence. So, from No to Yes through Maybe could be said to he from Zero to Infinity. There is no enturbulence on either end. Yes and No are both clean decisions; To Be, or Not To Be, and between them you have enturbulence. This shows up if you graphed it, as vectors of force: (see Diagram below)

Let me ask you this question, What does your right foot think about life? Consult with it, and find out. LRH audits PC in audience as follows.

LRH: How does your right foot feel about life?PC: Lousy.

The outcome of (e) above is unpredictable. They might all come together, cancel each other out, and there would be no reason to make a decision. You do that all the time. In (b) you say

LRH: Alright, feel lousy with it. What happens?PC: It doesn’t like it.

“I’ve got to go down to the post office to meet Mamie”, and the other datum is, “Mamie is not going to be at the post office”. No purpose in making the decision, for the 2 data are opposing each other. Another might be, “I am hungry” and “I am broke”. Well, there is a solution there, you just go on being hungry. The two data generally, don’t make a problem. It’s when you get much data (as in (e) for example) that you get real indecision.

LRH: Isn’t that a fact. You must have been holding motion there somehow. Alright, how does your leg feel now?PC: More life in it.

The subject of “attention” can be graphed. The subject of “Decision” can also be graphed. Attention and decision have something in common.

LRH: What is its concept of life?PC: A sort of rising concept.
LRH: Alright, feel that rising concept with the leg. Now what happens?PC: I can tell an expansion.

All of the above are possible; all of those are possible decisions. There was a body of attention units (a) which in this case was a mans’ mind. They were hit by a datum (b), and they immediately do something about the datum. Keep this in mind, this datum (it may be just someone coming up and saying you have lost your car keys) is resting on some prior existing effort. When he says, “You have lost your car keys” he is just giving you symbols of some past effort that you know about. And in order to understand those symbols completely, you put past effort into action, analyze it, and re-symbolize your reply. Now, get this. All these thoughts in the MEST universe, when you are talking, communicating, etc. are preceded by an effort. You can’t explain to somebody about “Knocking a fist through a wall”, unless he knows- “wall, fist, knocking, and through”. He gets to know a wall probably the first time he ran into one. Fist may not mean much to him unless he has been hit in the jaw with a fist. So, the statement, “Knocking a fist through a wall” becomes to you a rather forceful action. You may have felt there was a lot of force and action in such a situation. How did you know that? You scanned back, and picked up the efforts for those symbols. Understand this: that when we use language, at all times we are relating symbols to past efforts.

LRH: Has the other leg begun to feel like that yet?PC: No.

So, when I say a datum hits a mans’ mind........... Here are his attention units /////////////, and these attention units actually align themselves on a pattern of past facsimiles. You can manufacture attention units that you have in your facsimiles. Those which are giving you pain are actually being manufactured by you, and being exerted against you, because they keep running through the grooves and patterns of some old facsimiles.

LRH: Just the one leg? Well, how does your other leg feel about life?PC: Sort of numb.

That isn’t too tough: you have a facsimile about a wall, and in order to make it active in present time you take the old facsimile, and you run some attention units up against it, and that is a wall. Don’t try to make this complicated. It is simple. When I say running attention units across an old facsimile, it is as sensory and actual as putting your fingers out, and actually running them against the wall. The attention units are that real, and the facsimile feels that real to those attention units. We aren’t dealing here with anything very nebulous. The facsimile has solidity. Its solidity is given to it by you, by your attention units. That’s why you are so willing to accept, and why your P.C.s accept, and get well rather rapidly when this proposition is offered to them: “You are making yourself sick.” Of course, he has a facsimile there that somebody else pounded his head in with, that permits him to do so. His attention units are actually running up against this old facsimile, and it is his attention units that are turning around and exerting the pain. See, you wouldn’t have a headache just because there was a facsimile there. The facsimile is a picture; now you run your attention units at this facsimile, and you do a mock-up (remember I told you there were other ways of thinking) well, this is a heavy energy form of approximation. What you do is, you take your attention units and approximate this facsimile, and you say, “Yup, here it is. I sure have got a migraine headache.” What you are doing it with, is with your own attention units. Now, if you are holding in place a few facsimiles which stand ahead, or just in front of your ability to create energy waves or attention units; everytime you consciously create a flow of attention units, they will hit these facsimiles you are carefully holding in place from some other source. The attention units you are trying to put out are being stopped almost as they are formed, by the wall of attention units that are mocking up the old facsimile, which of course is also being done by you.

LRH: Feel numb with it. Did the feeling change?PC: Yes.

Suppose you decided to glare at the wall, and burn the paint off of it. You create the attention units to do it, and they run smack into the attention units of all of the mock-ups of all the facsimiles that say you can’t do it. So, you run into the mass of your own attention units, with your attention units. This is awfully simple, and you should understand it. This does not immediately state that you are “aware’ with your attention units, because you aren’t aware with your attention units, you “ACT” with your attention units. You can consciously direct, and contact attention units, and that’s where the theta body comes in. The theta body has a mechanism which becomes aware of the flow of attention units, and becomes capable of directing the flow of attention units. Then of course, you are aware of them when you direct them.

LRH: Now how does it feel?PC: At first it was ..., now it’s expanding.

It actually could be set up in this fashion, you would have a flow of attention units going out this way continuously, and then a flow going this way that says, “You don’t know about the other flow, then a flow coming in saying, “You don’t have any business knowing about these other two flows”. Then, that is all canceled out by a whole fountain of attention units coming this way, which are doing a mock-up of a black facsimile or something of the sort, which says, “It would be bad to know about these others”. Then, just on the other side of this, is a dim awareness that you ought to know. So, you have a flow telling you not to know about these two, that tell you not to know about this, and about this and this, etc., and there you get a picture of the mental process of an aberee.

LRH: Now they are both expanding?PC: Yes.

This is telling him (with probably hundreds of millions of individual flows directing the thought processes) that you are incapable of sending forward a pure stream of directed attention units. So, instead of the orderly set-up like this: /////////////, you get this balled up Enturbulated Mess.

LRH: Alright, feel expansive with both legs. Where does the feeling reach now?PC: Up to my chest.

I started out telling you these were vectors. You start graphing a balled up mess of vectors like that on graph paper, and you will find that they cancel one another out. There is not any force coming out of such a mess. If it did, it would be quite by accident, like a fellow suddenly getting a bright idea, but if you were able to take the potential of all these vectors and align them like so ////////////, and pack them together into one direction, and one purpose, look out! Early on the track you will find your P.C.s discouraging other people from doing just that. Later on the track you will find papa occluded. The little boy isn’t very aberrated, but all of a sudden papa will glare at him, and papa’s attention is caught for that instant, to the degree that papa is putting out a couple of ergs of actual energy. They are hitting Reginald, and they will blank papa out in Reginald’s bank, because every time he tries to examine a facsimile of papa he does a mock-up of papa’s past energy flows, and they block papa out. There was an actual flow involved, and if you don’t believe this, just pick out some individual who was occluded for a preclear. Do nothing but pick up that persons glares to the P.C. All of a sudden the facsimile starts to clean up, and you start getting earlier facsimiles.

LRH: Well, how does your chest feel?PC: Freer.

We know about counter-emotion. You might as well say counter-energy, because it is an energy flow, and it has a wave length. There is a wave length, and wave characteristic for that energy flow all up and down the tone scale. The center of the emotional band is very gross, and is about .024 cm. in wavelength. That is a long wave; light is very minute, about .000000124 cm., so that may give you some idea. When you are operating with human beings you aren’t operating with anything way up on some high esoteric level. Oh no, you are in a pretty gross wave area, relatively easy to measure. But, nobody is putting out enough, due to this terrific complexity and randomity, for you to get much of a bead on it. If you try to have someone look at the terminals on an oscilloscope you don’t get much registry, but you do get a disturbance on it. At M.I.T. they carried out some experiments that showed that the human glance killed yeast. They were very upset about this (this was in 1937 or 38) and they found by taking micro-photographs of yeast being glared at and not being glared at, a very large difference in those photographs. Of course data of this character was of no value, since every one knows M.I.T. is involved in engineering, and not the human mind.

LRH: It feels freer? Alright, feel freer all over.PC: I’m getting an awful lot of a feeling of inflation.

There is an energy output, and as you start bringing a P.C. up the tone scale there is a direct relationship between the amount of cause he can be, and the energy output which you see in his actual attention. The human race is pretty squirreled up about this. An earlier group than us thought there was an energy flow out of the forehead, and it came from a third eye. It is just a somatic. I can wipe out third eyes as fast as you can turn them on. Later on, people thought there was a energy flow out of the eye. The hypnotist uses this, but actually it is just the subject seeing a shiny, glassy surface- which is hypnotic. The old hypnotist had a pretty good line, because he always showed them his left eye, which is the sinister side of the body. That, by the way, is a facsimile; one that splits the body in half, and make the sinister side, and the good side. (The house divided against itself - divide and rule - I guess that will keep you in line.) Is long as you can keep a persons’ attention units spinning, and enturbulating, as in the sketch on the previous page - Boy! Can he be controlled. Hypnotism is an example of this. The hypnotist works on nothing but confusion. He will have some small boy stand in a narrow door-way pressing out, with his hands held down at his sides, and pressing out on the door frame. Then he will have the boy step away, and into the room, and he will say, “Your hands will now rise.” Of course the residual muscular tension that has built up will cause his hands to float up in the air willy - nilly. The child thinks, “What happened to me I no longer control myself.” The hypnotist can then implant (into this now completely unresistive child) any suggestion he desires ... “You are now a dog.” And the boy will bark. That is what hypnotism is, a confusion done through some sensory channel. It is nothing but a confusion through which another individual can implant a flow of attention units. This flow can be directed right to the motor control centers. You can mesmerize a person, take over the motor control centers, and you move - he moves. That, by the way, is a psychoses. You will find people like that in institutions, you raise your hand, and they will respond by raising their same side hand. There was a country, not to long ago, that got to doing this. It is a wonderful way to control.

LRH: Are you feeling inflation?PC: Yes.

Incidentally, the attention unit theory is the only theory ever advanced that explain the phenomena to be found in mesmerism. To compare the enturbulation of the average mind, and the effect when confronted with a new datum, take the typical, excited non-directive, stupid action of the individual at a big fire. Everyone is rushing about doing non-directed irrational activities. Then a fireman with a loud voice comes alone and says, “Everybody over this way,” and if he hits the contact, they move as if in a trance. A firm, sudden, forceful command will set a panic stricken group of me up like a flock of robots. They will sometimes be panicked to the point where the are completely out of communication, and there, you have to have a loud enough, and directive enough, command to reach through that confusion.

LRH: OK. How does the top of your head feel about life?PC: No feeling.

The person whose attention units are all scattered about, is going to have a hard time lining them up on any problem or subject. Say a person has his attention units really fixed on one object, and you make a sharp noise, well, some of his attention units try to swing to the source of that noise. He gets nervous, and he will jump. His attention units can be fixed. Have him stare at a bright light or shiny coin in a silent room, and then shoot off a gun by his right ear. You have fixed his attention units, and then suddenly you invalidate him. You cancel off the force of his attention units on the object, and you say, “It should not be deserted over there, here it is over here,” and that makes him wrong. He may go immediately into a hypnotic trance because his attention units won’t go over to the gun; they just draw out.

LRH: Alright, have no feeling with the top of your head.PC: It starts to tingle.

If you don’t believe this, I’ll give you a little technique on the side. A couple of years ago it would have been sensational, now it is just another little gimmick. It is the running of the fixing and unfixing of attention units. You can take a P.C. and merely run that, “the fixing and unfixing of attention units.” Just have him run the times his attention units are fixed, and something unfixes them. The sensation of them being fixed, and then suddenly becoming confused. The first thing you know, the darndest incidents will come into view. Why? You are just taking the screens down from a lot of old facsimiles. Then you can do it in reverse. When his attention was not fixed, and then something suddenly fixed it. You can say, “Get the feeling of your attention being scattered, and then suddenly something goes “BING”, and fixes your attention.”

LRH: Oh, the feeling changed. Well, how do your hands feel about life?PC: They feel pleased.

All of a sudden he will pick up all the news he was told too fast, the moments of shock, and the magnitude of the shock is dependent upon the speed with which the attention units are fixed or unfixed. This is a technique all by itself. Just use it, and you will get better results than you have been getting. That is very interesting and it will become more so when I show you the rest of: The Behavior of Attention Units. There are just so many ways that attention units behave, and they come up the tone scale. Remember the first book, D.M.S.M.H.? It said the methods of action were: attack, avoid, neglect, retreat, and withdraw. I introduced a tone scale of motion at the Calif. series of lectures Nov. 1950. That motion was above, and below 2.0 and it has to do with attacking, holding, retreating, and neglecting. That was the tone scale of motion. How important is this to you? Very important indeed, because the weird and odd somatics that you haven’t been able to touch on some of your P.C.s are held up on some pattern of attention units.

LRH: Alright, feel with your hands. Now let’s have your hands and your feet feel the same. What happens?PC: I don’t know, I get a feeling of floating away.
LRH: Does the top of your head like your feet?PC: NO.
LRH: Well, let’s see if we can string that line. We’ve got to have affinity you know.PC: They are in disagreement.
LRH: What about?PC: I don’t know.
LRH: Well, what’s the concept of the top of your head about life?PC: It’s dead.
LRH: What concept do your feet have about life?PC: They have a happier feeling.
LRH: Get the feeling with the top of your head about being dead.PC: Ya, that comes down.
LRH: OK. Get that feeling of coming down again. How does the pit of your stomach feel about life?PC: Empty.
LRH: Oh, it’s empty. Can you feel an outflow of attentionunits, can you be in the center of your stomach and feel the outflow of attention units from it? Try it.PC: It’s really hollow.
LRH: Well get in the center of it and feel that outflow.PC: It seems to be rolling in more than flowing out.
LRH: OK, feel them flowing in. Now get the center of the hollow spot, and reel them flowing out.PC: It’s really hollow.
LRH: Where is the ridge around it?PC: Right around the skin.
LRH: Feel the attention units hitting the ridge from the inside and the outside at the same time.PC: Yes.
LRH: How is the hollow spot in the stomach?PC: Different, it seems where that ridge is they go this way, and then that way.
LRH: Is there a double ridge in there? Find that double ridge. Feel the flows, and the bounce, and the interaction in there.PC: ( Just feeling )
LRH: Feel the hollow spot. You are trying to move into the hollow spot. Just BE in and go out.PC: But it’s been that way for a long time.
LRH: Nearly everybody’s is. That’s why the stomach is soft, it has a hollow spot.PC: That’s true.
LRH: That’s a medical fact, as everybody knows. Now, be the center of that hollow spot, and feel that energy. Does it feel as though there is a motor or something in the middle of that?PC: I feel it physically, not mentally.
LRH: Feel it physically.PC: Feels like it’s coming to life again now. This is no concept it’s physical.
LRH: Ya, feel it physically. Feel it again. All attention unit running is physical.PC: It’s filling up, I can feel the outflow a little, it’s turbulent.
LRH: Feel that enturbulence. Is it filling up?PC: Yes.
LRH: Tell me when it has filled out to a point where it is completely full.PC: There is a sense of life about it.
LRH: Which way is the flow now?PC: It feels like the birth of a volcano.
LRH: How does it feel now?PC: Remarkable, but it feels good now.

There, by the way, is an example of what may happen anytime you are running concepts. You jump off into attention unit running. Occasionally you will be running attention units, and all of a sudden you can ask the person to run a concept, but be aware of this: that concept, or its thought, is very often varied by emotion, and the emotion is very often varied by effort. So. that all of a sudden emotion is very often varied by effort. So, that all of a sudden you’ll run the concept, and you restimulate the thought which is underlying this tremendously heavy layer. You can get a person all restimulated by running a concept.

What I demonstrated above ( with the PC ) is a little assist. You will occasionally find someone with an anxiety stomach or upset about something. You ask him about the hollow spot in the stomach, just as I was talking there, and all of a sudden he will get pain instead of anxiety, and the area will fill up, and he won’t have an anxious stomach. Now when they have very very bad anxiety stomachs you will find that they have repetitive hollow spots. You will run it, he will go along for a week all right, then he will have it again. You run it again, and he will go along all right for a couple of weeks, and then you run it again, and he will have it chronically for about ten days while you wonder what in the world you can do about this. At the end of ten days it stops, and he doesn’t see you for 3 or 4 months. He drops in one day and says, “I still sometimes have that feeling of anxiety in my stomach” and you say, “Ya, how does it manifest itself?” He says, “You know, just like it was, but of course nothing like it was.” You say, “‘Well, has anything happened lately?” He says, “Yes, my wife ran away with the butler last night”. Actually, you start someone running on this with a stomach disorder, and all of a sudden they catch the trick, just like that, because it is a native ability. You can handle your own attention units. The fellow, every time he feels anxious, just starts looking around. He finds a hollow spot and a ridge, and he runs it out.

Question from the audience: How do attention units relate to physical awareness?

It doesn’t relate to it, IT IS IT. You noticed how in the demonstration the PC said, “This isn’t a concept, this is physical.” She never said a truer word. This is physical, this is the composition of the physical body itself. By attention unit running you can selectively cut down, minimize, and reduce areas of flesh on your body. You can erase parts of your body with attention unit running, just as though they were facsimiles. What is your body but a facsimile, just laid on the line, that’s just matter.

A few days ago I decided I would look young. Well, how do you look young? All you do is take flesh off certain planes (surfaces) of the face. This is what artists do in making faces old or young. So, I selectively ran incidents until the planes of the face were smaller. Oddly enough you run out tiredness also when you do this. You can actually select off certain pieces of flesh, and change your appearance.

You have with this technique the power of changing your own physiological being. You go on up, theta line running, and you have another choice: You can change beings. You could! Of course you have been growing and nurturing this body, and you are somewhat attached to it. But it is just as much an object as this eraser, and your existence with this body is something like going around holding this eraser all the time, and saying, “I’m the eraser.”

To get back on the subject of concept running, you will find there are 2 finite number of concepts necessary to run. I gave you a full scale of concept running on the preclear. You noticed that concept running didn’t do very much, and when we came over to attention unit running it came along much faster. Nevertheless, you will find this a handy technique to know.

Take your Chart of Attitudes (in The Handbook for Preclears) and add the 4 new scales: Win - Lose, Freedom - Restraint, Change - Not Change, Create - Destroy. By the way, Destroy is not bottom, Destroyed is bottom. Using this Chart of Attitudes, we take concept running for any and all parts of the body, or the whole body. Run any concept on the Chart Of Attitudes, and add those 4 extra columns to your chart. Not change sure describes apathy, doesn’t it?

You will find out that when you ask a PC who is low toned, “How do you feel most of the time.” He’ll say, “Well, I just feel that life isn’t worth living.” You say, “Run the feeling that life isn’t worth living.” He will say, “Do what?” You say, “Just feel like that all over. Now, how do you feel? “Kind of bored, I guess.” You say, “You feel sort of bored eh, well run feeling bored over your whole body.” “That makes me itch.” he says, and so you are probably off into running attention units or something of that sort. Now, there is concept running. This is a handy Jim- dandy technique if you ever get tired. You may find yourself feeling a certain weariness.

“I’m so darned weary, I just can’t go on,” you may think. You can go along and feel like this for a long time, and actually it’s attention units bouncing on and on, fixing or unfixing attention from something else and they are going over and hitting this concept. So you think about it, and think about it. These are the mechanics of it. Your attention is being shifted from the incident you are in to the concept, and if you are just thinking about it, you aren’t running it, you are “being” tired. Your concept of you is: “This is a tired body.” That’s what you are thinking.

Instead of laying it on you as sort of a magical curse, WHAT YOU DO IS turn around and say, “All right, I’ll BE THAT WAY,” and to some degree you get the sensation of being that way. The first thing you know, it blows. That is case one: You can take selectively any attitude across the bottom of this scale, and have any PC run one after the other. Not scan or change, just run the concept of the bottom scale consecutively, and he will bog down and get in more trouble than any PC you ever got into trouble before. Just keep him consistently running bottom scale, like- “Run the concept of Not Knowing.” He’ll say, “Oh, that’s easy, I feel sort of solid all over.” You say, “OK. Feel that again.” He says, “I can’t feel it again, I feel like I’m being affected by something.” You say, “Oh, feel that.” There is only one thing about this technique, and that is: Don’t use it on people that are low toned, because every one of these concepts is in apathy. The bottom line of the Chart of Attitudes is the description of apathy. That solid mess gives you “Theta-Wise” what the thought content of apathy is. It says, “This is apathy, and this is its thought content”.

You will be running a fellow in apathy sometime, and you will find that he gets ideas. This is why you must know concept running if you know attention unit running, because you will run some apathy, and when your PC gets up off the couch he won’t even know his name. You have hung him up here on the bottom with “Not Know.” Instead of trying to run more apathy (you identify by looking at him or listening to him, that he is in a certain column, which in this case was Not-Know) you can save considerable time by just having him run the concept of Not Knowing. He will. You could have asked him to run the concept of forgetting, as I covered earlier in these lectures. Running the concept will get a change, a rather rapid change, for you run the concept with the whole body instead of thinking it with a little part of your mind. So, it makes you aware of your whole body when you run the concept, and the second you become aware all over your body you come up tone scale. It is a simple mechanical trick. You think you “Not Know” with a point over here, and you think you are only that point. The second you become aware of your body all over, the rest of your body invalidates the little tiny point of “Not Know.”

So, when you run into an individual who starts concept running and hangs up in it, (you might have him running the concept of “Not Know”, and he gets more stupid) you run it some more, and he gets more stupid, etc.etc. You want to pick that up. He’s at the bottom and going down, and although you have a considerable margin, there is no reason to strain the factor of safety on him. So don’t get him more than three quarters dead before you give him a lifeline.

With concept running you have run into the Motivator, Overt Act, DED, sequence. If he is tired you have him run the concept of tiredness, and if he doesn’t immediately come alive; you know doggoned well that at the very least, he is guilty of the overt act of making somebody awfully tired. You know that, so what’s the remedy? You just run the overt act on it. The next sequence is the DED (deserved action). The tired feeling doesn’t blow with concepts. You try the overt acts for a while, and it still doesn’t blow All kinds of overt acts are there, and they just won’t blow. You have run into a DED, a deserved act. Your PC has an overt act for which he has no motivator. He has done an overt act for which he had no prior justification. It wasn’t done to him before he did it, and consequently he really deserves to be made to feel tired and it won’t reduce. This is what he wants, because this is giving him a motivator, but it’s on the wrong side of the overt act. What you do in this case is just find the incident back on the whole track. An E-meter is often the only way you will find it, and if you haven’t got one, borrow one, because if you keep running him you will eventually use up his factor of safety, and he will be dead. As much as I hate to tell you this, you are going to have to use whole-track processing on some of these DEDs. It just ain’t in this life span.

This is the freak case we have been running into every once in a while, a fellow who had nothing but DEDs on the case, and when you started running overt acts he started down tone scale instead of up, and he’ll go down and down. He will make sure he stays in bad shape. He will be critical of your auditing. There is one thing you can do for him and that is run past lives.

One thing in running these concepts that you will need, and is not in the books, is the concept of “Aloneness.” This one will solve many cases. Here he is packed in like sardines, and he thinks he is all alone. Ha! Silly business. Some interesting incidents will jump into view. That is a freak mechanism, it is actually an installation, but people really suffer from it.

The Motivator, Overt Act, and DED sequence apply in concept running, but ordinarily if you are in even vaguely good tone (above normal at .5 ) you can take almost anything you are doing, feeling, or thinking, and change it - Bing - with concept running. If you are interested in really handling your own case up the line; concept processing self-applied is the best way to get to do what you want to do.

You feel tired? Run the feeling of tiredness. If you are up tone scale, and you have been processed with a lot of attention unit processing on the whole track, and got rid of some of the basic “louse ups” on the track; you will do attention unit running - bing, bing, bing, - for it is a natural way of thinking. You can burn up your own thoughts as fast as you think them, if you want to. With concept handling (different from concept processing) you have defeated the obsession of returning motion, because it is a different method of thought, which is above stimulus-response thinking.

There is probably no human being that hasn’t- gone around for days thinking, and thinking, and thinking about some thing or subject. With concept processing of yourself you have a technique with which you can stop thinking about it. That is an obsession, and you will find invariably that it is on a subject in which somebody has been throwing a lot of motion at you, and you couldn’t return it. So, what you do with concept running is First, find out what you are thinking about, and Second, run the thinking about it. You will find a bunch of attention units all bunched-up on the track, and all of a sudden the he or she on it will suddenly appear, and it blows. The same thing applies for not being able to think of something.

Now here is something that appeared in the first book. Remember groupers, and denyers, and bouncers, and holders? They all show up in this attention unit data, and each one of them gets explained by attention unit behavior. Aside from that, in concept running you will find out that if you can’t think along a certain subject line, just run the feeling of being denied that line. In other words, run the concept of a denyer, don’t run the phrase (there are billions of them) just run the concept, and you will run them all at once. For example: right now think of something you don’t like to think about, or you want to stay away from, or that you don’t like to do. There is a denyer on that. You are running away from it somewhere on the track. You can get it by attention units or by concept - get the feeling of being denied that something, and your feelings on the subject will change.

Here are the various actions and intentions of attention units with regard to things. You will find that a “Denyer” is running away from something, a “Grouper” is packing up on a ridge, and a “Bouncer” is the same as a denyer, it’s an outflow of units. I Know Not - is apathy, but it is a forgetter, and that’s all a forgetter is. You just run that concept (I Know Not) and all of a sudden you get the heavy feeling, and you run that heavy feeling for a moment, and that’s the end of it. You can do this with PCs, and you can do it for yourself.

The categories of mental aberrations of the past, manic depressives, compulsives, obsessives, schitzes, etc., all show up under these 3 categories of motion of attention units: 1. Denyer 2. Grouper 3. Bouncer, and the complexities of their combinations, and you can get them reduced by concept running.

What is a fellow with an obsession? He is just returning motion on a subject where he has had too much motion thrown at him. To solve it you ask him to get the feeling of fighting back on the subject. Say that he has an obsession on tooth- brushes. Ask him to feel the concept of fighting toothbrushes, of fighting back against them. You know exactly what’s happened to him. He has just had too many motions about toothbrushes thrown at him as counter-efforts, that’s all. So, you ask him to run the concept of fighting back against toothbrushes. He will get one of three things: the motivator, the overt, or a DED, and if he insists on hanging on to the obsession he has the overt or the DED. You say, “Get the concept of fighting back against tooth- brushes.” This is a new thought to him. He has been obsessed on the subject of tooth- brushes, he sees them in his dreams, etc. etc. So, here he has the subject that he is fighting back against. At your request, he will turn up a whole series of incidents of his little brother holding him down and brushing his teeth, or something of the sort. If it doesn’t relieve with this motivator, you know it is an overt act. You will find out that he did it to his dog, and the dog almost choked to death, or something of the sort. This overt act will actually appear on the concept of fighting toothbrushes.

Ask him for the concept of somebody else fighting toothbrushes. This will pull in the overt act or the DED if it hasn’t appeared before. (The DED being the real big overt act for which there is no motivator.)

Here is another case: A guy comes in to see you and says, “I have a terrible obsession about cats; everywhere I go I see cats, I have an allergy to cats, I can’t get them out of my mind.” You say, “Get the concept of how it feels to fight cats.” (What could be more simple?) “Now get the concept of making somebody fight cats.” All of a sudden he picks up his little brother with something about fighting cats, or he made a cat fight. Then all at once he has the incident where he tied two cats together by their tails and hung them over a clothes line, and mother spanked him afterwards. You knew that someplace there was too much motion about cats.

Or a guy comes in and tells you that he has a rare mental condition which is demonstrated by the fear of oatmeal. You look it over, and you see that he really is afraid of oatmeal, and you say, “Get the feeling of running away from oatmeal, get the concept of running away from oatmeal.!’ He says, “Oh, I’ve got that all the time, ya, I’ve got that concept, but you know, I feel kind of scared.” You say, “Get the concept again of running away from oatmeal.” He will say, “It’s my mother and father fighting at breakfast, you know they always fought at breakfast.” You say, “How is your fear of oatmeal?” He says, “It’s gone.” See, it could be a motivator he’s running away from, or it could be his making somebody else run away from oat- meal. You may finally find out that he used to sit at- the table with his little brother across from him, and he would take his spoon full of oatmeal, and flip it at his brothers face. Mother probably explained this as an overt act. If this never happened to him prior to his doing it to his little brother, it is a DED, and you will pick it up as an overt act and it will relieve. Understand this. An overt act is something that you have done that has been done to you before you do it. A DED is - you do it, and then you do it, and then you do it, and then you do it, etc. etc. So, a DED has to be looked at as more than one Incident. It has to have several incidents, because it is a chain of overt acts you did.

Take the oatmeal case again. You have him run the concept of dodging oatmeal, or something of the sort. He gets that, and then you ask him to get the concept of making somebody else dodge oatmeal. He will say, “Oh, that couldn’t have anything to do with me - that was my dog. I remember I used to upset this steaming bowl of oatmeal over his head every morning,” and it blows.

Now, this situation is a DED - if nobody ever did to him, what he did as the overt act. The DED will be more than one incident. You will have to look them up, because it won’t lift until you run the chain.

So, here are your 3 actions: I ) Motion (attention units) coming in at, 2) Motion running away from, 3) Motion held still. For instance, the PC is worried about his dreaming of running away and not getting anywhere. Ask him, “Who used to hold you?” He says, “Oh, just Uncle George.” You say, “Well, who did you hold in place?” He says, “Oh, nobody. I wouldn’t.. Oh, I seem to remember, Oh yes, I dropped the baby in the pond and....”, run it a few times, and he doesn’t have that trouble anymore. So, you can catalogue every mental aberration in one of those 3 categories, and combinations of the three.

If your PCs say, “Oh, it isn’t worth while, I just don’t know, I feel apathetic about the whole thing.” Be smart, don’t ask him to run apathy, ask him to run the feeling of “Not knowing what you are doing,” and he will come out of it.

The material I have given to you is fundamental. If you understand this you will never get a PC stuck anywhere on the track very seriously. If you know concept running, you can change you.
