Fourth reel, December 17. Continuing demonstration of Step Four.

This is the third hour of the afternoon class, December the 17th.

LRH: All right. Now let’s mock up, let’s make sure now we’ve got one for each… every good friend that you had for the last 74 trillion years and mock ‘em up there 360 degrees all the way around.

We’ve just had a demonstration of Lifting. Uh… I want to point out that I made too big a step there once. And point out that I did a couple of steps without mock-ups between them. And if you were watching there and observing it, you found out that you… that we were getting him just a little bit less action – did you notice that, by the way? I said… suddenly made you pick up four fingers without first making you pick up three fingers.

PC: Um-hm.

Now what did you feel about that?

LRH: Got ‘em?

PC: Just seemed to be solid like.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: That seemed to be a little bit solid. Yeah. We’d gone up to three, you see, four. As it was we just put a little more time on that than should have been. We jumped too big a step. And, of course, that we covered immediately and we were shortly back in the running again. We just went back and picked up the three step, did the three step very thoroughly and then came on to the four step. And the four steps then…

LRH: All right. Let’s just start picking ‘em up and cramming ‘em in.

How’d they feel the second time?

PC: Hmm.

PC: It felt lighter.

LRH: What’s the matter?

LRH: It felt much lighter, you see.

PC: The first guy in was a cave man – hmm.

Another thing is, what did you feel about doing mock-ups in between? Did you keep wanting to get the show on the road? Or what about the mock-ups? What was your reaction?

LRH: Okay.

PC: Oh, it was good.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Hmm?

LRH: Got ‘em all?

PC: It relaxed me.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Yeah. That’s right, that’s right. Because he’s in there pitching and agreeing with the real universe, instead of the actual universe, and so he takes a look at the actual universe and uh… throws himself some mock-ups there and all of a sudden he says, “Well, not so bad,” and uh… you got release from tension.

LRH: Now, let’s mock up all the enemies you’ve had for the last 74 trillion years.

So, actually your preclear will benefit if you did two or three mock-ups between every single step. But there is no reason why you should have to do this, to any great extreme. There’s nothing compulsive about this.

PC: Umm-hmm.

But it just so happens that if you’re making him agree with the real universe, why uh… it just goes faster if you’ll throw some mock-ups in there. He feels a little bit relaxed and he feels a little bit happier about the thing.

LRH: Umm-hmm.

So, this process would’ve continued from four fingers, of course to the hand; and then both hands and then would have continued up to the elbows. And the arms, and then we would have wiggled with one foot in one direction and then wiggled with the other foot in the other direction, and then pushed the feet together and then pulled the feet apart and uh… then made one toe tap – just lifted the toe and let it fall a few times. And then we would have hooked a line on and possibly made him pull his foot off the platform edge – anything like that so it would just drop a little bit. And uh… then we would have finally picked it up at the knee and let it swing back – I mean, pick it up so it bent at the knee, you see? And then… you’re starting to look at me fascinated. What’s the matter? Does that sound hard?

PC: That’s not fun.

PC: No. I was getting the idea of how it works.

LRH: That’s not fun, huh?

LRH: Well, there’s nothing hard about it. I mean, as long as you follow the road, it’s… it becomes just ridiculously easy.

PC: They’re there.

Now just exactly where the end of this is, I won’t tell you at this time. I’ll let you find out exactly what happens when you’ve finally got a guy so he can boost his body around.

LRH: They’re there. 360 degrees?

Nibs said one of these days he’s going to go down the street with his hands together in front of him like this, see. And go down the street about six feet off the sidewalk at about 15 or 20 miles an hour – hands pressed very reverently before his chin, his feet straight together and a very reverent expression on his face, and scooting down the street like mad.

PC: Hmm-hmm.

Now any time this power… this power action that you’re getting there seems to fail – I won’t say you can’t do that, you know, I’m trying to encourage you in this line. Any time this power action seems to be slacking off, or something of this sort, you’ve just done that fact: You’ve just agreed too long with the real universe, so you sit down…

LRH: Any behind your back?

It isn’t that you draw power, you see, out of the uh… mock-ups or anything strange or peculiar like that. It’s just that concentration on the real universe gets a fellow back below a certain point into flows. And he gets back to obedience of flows because he’s finding flows useful. And he gets back – he wants to use them, therefore he gets rather obedient to them.

PC: Come to think of it, there was about a slice like a pie that wasn’t… didn’t have anything in it.

And he gets up above a break point, however, and above this point he doesn’t give a damn. But you have to get him just so high before it really has no further effect upon him.

LRH: Isn’t that true?

I was going to make a little note there. I was talking to you about a wheel. Sort of an “all roads lead to Rome” thing – all roads lead to Rome. And it’s very pertinent when it comes to lifting or turning on perception.

PC: Okay, they’re there.

These things, as you well realize, depend upon force. And force is random effort; and effort is directed force. Now you understand, of course, while I was working this… this preclear, that we were using beams. We were still using flows. When I told you, “Get above the break point,” that’s a very specific point. It’s the point where he simply gets way out away from something and he says, “Jump,” and it of course promptly jumps. He doesn’t use a beam, but he makes it jump with a postulate, instead of taking the intermediate step of throwing beams on it. You see that? It’s but easy. And you drill him up along that line until at last they can make a finger lift. You wouldn’t go over and throw a beam on the finger or anything else. You’d just say, “Lift,” and it lifts. It’s fascinating patterns.

LRH: They’re there.

So, all roads lead to Rome here. And Rome in this case is force. Now force is interpreted by many people to mean rough, mean, ornery, misused material. So, that however… force is merely energy with some direction. And effort is very closely monitored force, that’s all.

PC: Incidentally, the emotion hits pretty strong on this. Wowee!

And I don’t care whether you’re pushing a paintbrush over a canvas or anything of the sort, because there’s a great deal of force there. And you get somebody who is very shy of force, because he gets an aberration because people have used too much force on him, and he has used too much force on others, and what do you get? You get a fellow who won’t use force to push a paintbrush over a piece of canvas.

LRH: It does, huh? All right. Now let’s take one of ‘em and make him walk away and just keep walking – just one of them – any one of them.

Too much protest, then, along this line is… becomes aberrative. It inhibits an individual’s willingness to handle energy. When an individual is unable to handle energy, is unwilling to handle energy – same thing, unwilling, unable – unwilling to handle energy, the next thing that comes about is he becomes an effect of energy. The use of force is idiocy; it’s just pure idiocy to accomplish everything across the boards. But if you’re going to handle a material object you are actually handling solid energy. A material object is solid energy. It is made of energy; it is therefore composed of force vectors. And you’re unwilling to handle force, and you’re unwilling to handle energy, you will become shy of handling… just automatically become shy of handling material objects – acquiring them, getting rid of them, placing them around or anything of the sort.

PC: Okay.

And, oddly enough, an individual’s perceptions turn off to the degree that he’s unwilling to handle energy. Now isn’t that cute? See, there’s even energy in mock-ups. You put energy in mock-ups – a very light type of energy. It doesn’t bear much resemblance to force.

LRH: Let him keep walking, and send another one after him.

So the breakpoint, of course, is up above the level of the use of force. No state really can survive from the moment that it begins to employ broadly and without much direction, force. The use of force as the sole method of accomplishment of an end, ends in death. Because it brings about a dependence upon force, but at the same time there doesn’t seem to be, at this time – and when there is… when there is, we’ll find it, if there ever is – a shortcut on force. The road out is the road through.

PC: Okay.

When you’re below that level, unwilling to handle force, you could become subjected to force. And as you come up the line you will find it easier to handle things in terms of energy. And handling things in terms of energy then brings you about 19 times up the tone scale. This is the fastest way I know to increase tone, you see. Increase perception. You notice…

LRH: …and another one, and send him after him.

How were you feeling there about halfway? All right?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Now let’s just get ‘em departing.

LRH: Yeah. All right.

PC: Okay.

PC: I noticed quite a difference.

LRH: Get ‘em all shoving off.

LRH: You keep bringing a guy up the tone scale, bringing him up the tone scale. Sometimes in his… you’ll notice his tone change. He’ll start to demonstrate some new strata on the tone scale and so forth. Just feed him some mock-ups on it if he looks kind of angry or something of the sort. So you say, “Oh, good. Let’s make him do something destructive. Let’s make him hold on to something, let go – in a mock-up.” And that shifts his tone again. He could be jammed somewhere on the tone scale in the use of force.

PC: Umm-hmm.

All right uh… we don’t have to do that – I mean, it’ll work out automatically.

LRH: Did you get rid of ‘em all? Good. Did you get rid of ‘em all?

So… so unfortunately force is the barrier, the sinister barrier. And the trick is to get up above the level where you accomplish things without the use of force or what we commonly call ‘energy’ or ‘flows’. And in order to get to that point where you can handle things made out of energy without handling, then, with your manufactured energy, you of course are above the breakpoint. And that’s the point… well above that point is the Operating Thetan. He hangs up as long as he depends on flows.

PC: Yeah. Boy, what a pleasant feeling! Okay.

So we see this thing called force here. Let’s see how many things go through force; and here we have the first and foremost that interests us: irresponsibility, is first manifested by an abandonment of force. “I am to blame” is an abandonment of force. It means, “I used force for the wrong thing and therefore I’m to blame. And I’m bad cause and we don’t want to be bad cause so we’re gonna abandon that,” and the next thing you know the fellow’s very irresponsible.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s mock ‘em all up again in the worst guises, their worst natures. 360 degrees of ‘em, all the enemies you’ve had for… 360 degree sphere around you. All the enemies you’ve had for 74 trillion years.

‘Cause what’s responsibility, when it comes down to that? It’s willingness to own or act of use or be – and lower on the tone scale all those things have to go through the band called ‘force’. That you could also call ‘Effort band’ of the tone scale. A person gets below that effort band, no matter… they can still think and still act and so forth, but they are not willing to handle material objects and they become irresponsible for ‘em, things around them start to become rather enMESTy.

PC: Okay.

And so we go through force and we get responsibility. And over here an individual who is having a serious time with causation, and is responding to any kind of a flow. You see, these fellows have got everything packed in – Step Four – the kind we’re trying to resolve with Step Four? They’re… they’re just so subject to flows that what they get they can’t get rid of; what they have gotten rid of, they can’t get. They’re obeying flows, and so they’re in effect.

LRH: All right. You got ‘em now?

And we have this up here through force, and out of force, and we get cause. Cause, responsibility, actually are not on a parity; cause is, if anything, higher than responsibility. I’m just drawing this in any old way here.

PC: Umm-hmm.

Now because knowledge and data is contained on energy and is as forceful on an individual as the individual is unwilling to face facsimiles, then data becomes composed of force. Facsimiles, pictures, pictures of force. If he can’t handle force, he can’t handle the pictures. If he can’t handle the pictures, he can’t handle data. And if he can’t handle data, he gets into that state known as ‘unknowing’. And there’s nothing worser than the ‘unknown’, if you’ve postulated there’s something you ought to know and you can’t – and it’s contained in a facsimile, that is to say, a memory of some sort. so you get ‘I know not’ here and that goes where? That goes right straight into force. And coming out of force, gets what?

LRH: Turn ‘em purple.

Voice: “I know.”

PC: Okay.

LRH: I know. Interesting, isn’t it?

LRH: Turn them blue.

Now, of course, an individual becomes as individual as he is high on the tone scale. And he is as individual as he can act by his own self – determinism; and he is only as individual as he can act by his own self – determinism. But if he can be made into an effect, if he can be made into an object, if he can be solidified somehow or other in space and given a label, he is identified. And being identified, of course, he becomes an object. And an object is an individual, and that of course is the state called ‘I am not’ and ‘I am not’ led through force comes up here to, of course, ‘I am’. Very simple…

PC: Okay.

Now because every MEST object is interested in identification and is not Interested in differentiation every one of these objects – why of course – you get the ability to be everyone is on the upper side of this wheel; and being in sort of everybody’s valence is on the bottom side of the wheel. So we get the fact he’s really nobody. The best identified person, the most amental person is a nobody. Really, that’s true.

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

So we get that ‘nobody-everybody’.

PC: Okay.

Now let’s look around on the tone scale again and what other ones do we find? We find down at the bottom of the scale ‘Succumb’ and that comes up through and becomes of course ‘Survive’. Now how does that do that? Well, that’s because when an object is interested in survival, it is not aware of the fact it is immortal. And if it is not aware of the fact it’s immortal, it is because it obeys what? Force. And if it obeys force or obeys force laws it naturally can be made to succumb. By what? Force. And so force has this corrosive effect upon the individuality which brings it down at last into the individual identity, so-called. And it finally corrodes in and you get that.

LRH: Turn ‘em green.

Now from this you could assume that force had something to do with time, couldn’t you? And of course that’s true. Force does have a lot to do with time and… and has also – force as they overlook most often, has a lot to do with space and when you have force and space, or energy and space, you get an object and naturally you have Have, which comes up here on the tone scale. We’ve got Have coming up here now and Have comes up along the line, and of course force is energy and it goes up through energy and comes up here to what naturally would be… all through force again.

PC: Okay.

Now an object can’t perceive. It can have perceptions engraved on it, but it can’t ‘look’, and so we get, down at the bottom here, of course, ‘No Perception’ and up at the top we get ‘All Perception’ – just to that degree.

LRH: Make ‘em shift first to one foot, and then the other foot.

So we get thinking here being done in terms of energy where the force level is. Down here we get it done in terms of ‘for you’. And midway between those two points it is done in terms of looking at old facsimiles. Just above energy at force here, we have the thing operating on a more or less of a postulate basis sort of thing, and we get memory.

PC: Okay. Sounds like a bunch of soldiers marking time.

So up here above force, of course, is the gradient scale of facsimiles, and here is remembering more or less by flows or pervasion by flows. And up here he is just simply… good memory.

LRH: Oh yeah? Good. Now make ‘em about face and be on their way.

And this again goes through what? Over here – up here. That’s a wheel.

PC: Okay.

There are a lot of other things on that wheel, but the main thing that’s on that wheel is what I will draw now which is this big curve over here on the right side, and this big curve is Cycle of Action. It starts up here with Be, goes through energy and ends with an object, or starts with Stop… starts up there and ends with Stop, has Change in the middle so force brings about change. When force is employed it always brings about change of one sort or another, which inevitably ends in a static.

LRH: They on their way?

There actually is a picture of your wheel that has to do with all the things, more or less, that we have been talking about as we went through this whole course – this picture.

PC: Yeah.

Now, there are two ways those arrows can fly. I instinctively put them in that direction. You can take these same factors and put ‘em in the other direction. When you put ‘em in the other direction you get the MEST universe. When you put ‘em in this direction you get freedom.

LRH: Good. Mock ‘em all up again.

Those things which people instinctively resist, really, will eventually wind them up being an object – an identity. And fighting force or using force as a sole means is no good. But because that road leads through force, leads through energy, you make sure that your natural instinct to avoid it does not persuade you as a preclear to inhibit the efforts of your auditor just out of the chatter to rationalize about force. He’s not trying to make you into a single force object or something that uses only force. There isn’t any ethic on a force level. It’s almost shot.

PC: Okay.

And as an auditor, boy, DON’T YOU EVER LET YOUR OWN WILLINGNESS TO AVOID FORCE INHIBIT YOUR RESTORING TO AN INDIVIDUAL HIS RIGHT TO BE FREE. There is the picture, and the stable point that we’re gonna mark up here with a great big ‘S’ is in this area. On that big ‘S’ is an Operating Thetan; and there you’ve got it.

LRH: Now, make one of ‘em walk forward toward you, and cram him into the body.

Now, someday somebody’s going to pick up a wheel like that and they’re going to say, “This was a mystic symbol which was used” – they find this old universe floating around and you just explode a few pieces of it or something of this sort, and uh… it’s still got pieces floating around in little chunks of space that sort of drift around. And you’ll… probably somebody is still trying to argue with somebody else that we ought to go back and remove these navigational menaces, in case anybody started thinking in terms of ‘You use force in order to create objects, which you then rule, and the best way to do it is to create objects out of live, living, thinking beings’. And anybody starts on that line, why, he is in bad shape. But somebody will be explaining why somebody might get going again on this thing.

PC: Okay.

On anything, when you see the vector go down anywhere on these wheels, when you see that vector go down – rocks and shoals. On this lower portion, from force down, when you see that vector turn around, you’re going to wind up with Succumb, Effect, Irresponsibility, Have Not, I Am Not, I Know Not. When you turn the vector around and start to use force on the preclear, he winds up at Succumb, I Am Not and so forth. Of course, it’s a little bit different using force on him than simply using a postulate on him. You say, “All right, let’s go through this and let’s be still about this whole thing. All right, let’s take it easy now.” You’re not using force; you’re appealing to his reason. He knows you’re not going to take a gun to him.

LRH: Another one.

But at first he’s only quivering because he’s afraid you will take a gun to him – so much force has been employed against him.

PC: Okay.

And the road out there is the road through energy. And I marked ‘force’ up here, not because we ought to call it force, but simply to point up that a force is a railroad tie across the track, and one which must be removed from the track of the preclear, because it’s a dividing line.

LRH: Good. Now let’s just keep ‘em all coming on in, and stuff ‘em all into the body.

Now, somebody else could look at that graph, by the way, and he could say, “Now you see, what you do is you’re all those lower things and to get better you start using force. And if you use force that brings you up into a beautiful state of ‘I am’ and ‘Be’ and all that, and therefore the best way to do this is to use force on everybody and accomplish it all by force.” Heil Hitler!

PC: Okay.

And then, as I said in the book, I heard a rumor lately that Adolf Hitler was dead.

LRH: Now let’s rig ‘em all up again.

Because the ruse – you’ve got to… you’ve got to be able to handle it and willing to handle it, and willing to buck through it and willing to employ it and find out what it will do. And this is a major point: How do you get a preclear to handle something that falls in the ‘can’t’ category on the machine? You make mock-ups of it and he can handle it. You can use… actually make mock-ups of force till you can handle it.

PC: Okay.

But control and handling of anything which is the thing which bars the road, is the modus operandi out. It isn’t, at this moment at least, a rocket ride over all of the obstacles. You pick ‘em up and you throw ‘em off the track. Only you don’t – but the preclear does. You just tell him to, and he’ll make it.

LRH: How’s that pie slice?

Fear of force will keep him depressed. Actually, when a person is able to throw his body around, his fear of force lessens very markedly, and his fear lessens very markedly. Let us ask him, just off-hand.

PC: Oh – hmm.

(to pc) “You feel any attitude shift?” You don’t have to. Do you feel any attitude shift? I mean, as a result of this… of this lifting we were doing?

LRH: Hmm?

PC: I don’t recognize any…

PC: It comes and goes.

LRH: You don’t feel an attitude shift. Did it make you feel any better about anything?

LRH: Well, put… put that particularly full of guys, enemies with weapons in their hands.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah, most of them have got weapons in their hands as it is.

LRH: Did it give you any hope?

LRH: Yeah, I know. But let’s put those guys in that pie slice.

PC: Yeah, it uh… it showed me that I’d been out for quite a little while and didn’t realize it.

PC: Okay, okay.

LRH: Yeah?

LRH: Now make ‘em look real mean.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: How do you mean that?

LRH: Turn ‘em purple with rage.

PC: Well, one summer while we were processing, the first thing we used to do is put each other against a wall and then run a… you know run through the… through that, when you get there that “What to Audit” – it said that the best place was outside, so we decided to do that. So uh… after a while uh… at first I used to walk wrapped all around the body and then after I’d been processed a little more I decided I didn’t have to wrap around the body, just be around it.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Now make ‘em look very sly.

PC: Um-hmm. And then it slipped, you know. I didn’t realize it. And now suddenly it all came back.

PC: Okay.

Umm-hmm. How would you feel if you could pick your body up by the scruff of the neck, about a foot in the air?

LRH: Make ‘em all look very sly.

LRH: You don’t, huh?

PC: Yeah, okay.

PC: No.

LRH: All right. Get ‘em walking forward toward you now, the whole lot of ‘em.

LRH: Oh, no.’ Good.’

PC: Okay.

All right, now in this second half hour let’s go – or what little is left – let me go right straight through into, when I say beams. He’s using a beam there. I want… anybody around here ever look inside his head and see the front of his forehead? Who’s looked around and seen the front of his forehead? Hmm?

LRH: Crowd them into the body.

Voice: …

PC: Okay.

LRH: You’ve seen the front of your forehead? You’ve been out, though.

LRH: Got ‘em? Pack ‘em down tight. You got ‘em all?

Voice: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay. Who’s seen the front of his forehead and hasn’t been out? Take a look right now: Can you see the front of your forehead? Can you… I’m not talking about this side. I’m talking about this side – the back side – the inside. Can you see the inside of your forehead? Have you been out?

LRH: Pack ‘em down real tight. Now let’s get that first crew, uh… the last crew of friends that were packed in there and let’s have them leave.

PC: No. I’m not sure.

PC: The last crew of friends?

LRH: All right, sit down – sit down. This is Step Two.

LRH: Yeah, we packed a bunch of friends down there.

All right, let’s just take a look at the inside of your forehead there. Got it?

PC: I thought we sent ‘em out? Okay, I’ll mock ‘em up packed in and send ‘em out.

PC: Not very much reality on it…

LRH: All right. You thought we got all those friends sent out?

LRH: That’s all right. Well, you’d rather look at it? Well, I’ll tell you what you do? Let’s mock up right there on the inside of your forehead a dragon.

PC: Yeah, I thought we did – yeah. Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Let’s send the whole crew of ‘em out.

LRH: Now, get him licking his chops…

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now let’s send another wave of ‘em out.

LRH: Now make him get some uh… very effeminate mannerisms as he licks his chops.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: How far are they going?

LRH: Now get him getting very lady-like about licking his chops.

PC: Oh, about five miles so far. They keep on going.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Let’s take about three more waves of ‘em, good friends. Get the nostalgia of their leaving – how sad they feel at leaving.

LRH: Now get him turning pink.

PC. Umm-hmm.

PC: Urn-hum.

LRH: You got it?

LRH: Now get the difference he conceives between himself and other dragons.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Get them all gone.

LRH: All right, now let’s take him and hang him out there about, or maybe a foot to the right. Turn him blue and hang him about a foot over to the right there.

PC: Yup.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Mock up another s… full sphere of enemies.

LRH: Got him out there?

PC: Okay.

PC: Um-hum.

LRH: Make them take one step toward you.

LRH: Well, let’s turn him upside down and hang him his tail on a nail.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: One step back.

LRH: Okay, got him there?

PC: Okay.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Bring ‘em in.

LRH: Okay, now right inside the forehead there, let’s put a great big mousetrap. Got it?

PC: Okay.

PC: I’m not sure where it’s located.

LRH: Pack ‘em down.

LRH: Not sure where it’s located? Well, just plaster it on the inside of the forehead. Stand it up on edge and make it scowl at you, that’s probably better…

PC: Uh-huh.

PC: No luck.

LRH: Got them?

LRH: You don’t like that mousetrap? Well, put it way out on the other side of the room out there.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Now that you’ve got all those enemies there – now that you’ve got all those enemies there, let’s mock up all the way around you all the parents you have had on the whole track.

LRH: Now put one just this side of it.

PC: Yeah – okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

LRH: And one just this side of it.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em blue.

LRH: All right. Now make the one you just put down snap hungrily.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Have ‘em turn around and walk away.

LRH: Now make those three of them jump up and eat up all of these seats and all of the students.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: They all walkin’? Keep ‘em going, and send after them the last group of enemies.

LRH: Got them? Now get them getting a stomachache. Get them explaining to each other it’s because the gods have affected them.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: The next to the last group of enemies.

LRH: And get them lying down and dying. Now have three mice come in and grab the mousetraps and lug ‘em off to the other side of the room.

PC: Okay.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Make ‘em turn purple as they’re leaving.

LRH: Now make those mousetraps just huge and the mice very tiny.

PC: Okay.

PC: Uhh-hmm.

LRH: All right, just get rid of the rest of the groups of enemies, just have them keep on walking out.

LRH: All right. Make the mousetraps even bigger, and the mice even smaller.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got ‘em all gone?

LRH: All right. Now get the mice eating the mousetraps.

PC: All gone.

PC: That’s quite a strain. I’ve got traps here the size of the room and the mice the size of peas.

LRH: All right. You’ve got ‘em all gone?

LRH: Okay, okay. That’s all right. Have them eat them up. How do you make them do it? Do they say they can’t do it?

PC: Yeah.

PC: No, I’ve got one of them gone already, but how it’s done, I don’t know.

LRH: Real good. All right. Let’s mock up a whole bunch of houses all the way around you – all sorts and descriptions. We want every house in the last 74 trillion years. We want ‘em all.

LRH: All right – all right.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got ‘em all gone?

LRH: Okay. Now take those mice and turn them into thetans.

PC: I’ve got them all here.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Got them all…

LRH: And have them come swinging over and going round and round your head.

PC: All here.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All here? All right, send ‘em away.

LRH: Have one of ‘em take a saw and saw the top of your head off.

PC: I’m having a little trouble pushing things away from behind me.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, yeah?

LRH: Look inside to see if you’re there.

PC: They go away in front pretty easy but behind me…

PC: Okay.

LRH: Well mock up a wave… mock up about six more for every one behind you.

LRH: Have him tell you „Hello.“

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Is that easier?

LRH: Put the top of your head back on.

PC: Shall I send them out?

PC: Okay.

LRH: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Now have them go away.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em blue back there.

LRH: Mock up another thetan and put it in yesterday.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em orange.

LRH: Okay, take a look at the inside of your forehead. Look at those horrible eyes staring in at you.

PC: Okay.

(aside to class) Every once in a while a preclear will tell you, „I don’t see anything but I keep feeling like these horrible eyes are peering at me.“

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

PC: I get one. Pardon me, I get one purple spot…

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: You get one purple…?

LRH: Turn ‘em all yellow, 360 degrees as they’re departing.

PC: Just back on the forehead there.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, yeah. Well, let’s examine that purple spot real good. Is there another purple spot there?

LRH: All right. How far are they away from you?

PC: No, it seems to be concentric circles and they merge in.

PC: Oh, a mile or so around the sides and in front. Not so far away in back.

LRH: Oh, yeah? Make it into a pool of water. Got it?

LRH: Not so far away? Put about 20 more back of you. What happened?

PC: Well, not very good.

PC: I don’t know… (unintelligible)

LRH: Well, turn it blue. Turn it red. Turn it green.

LRH: Huh?

PC: Okay.

PC: I don’t know? Oh, on the mock-up?

LRH: Got it better now?

LRH: No. No. What… what happened to you?

PC: Green, okay.

PC: I don’t know. I just got a muscle jerk.

LRH: All right. Now turn on a tap over by the radiator and let it run, and drain the pool.

(to class) You want to watch for these. Every once in a while a line will snap or something of the sort. We finally hit… as we go down this sequence, we only handle those things long enough until we hit one that’s a tiny bit difficult.

(aside to class) I’m using much more mock-up than you would use in Step Two.

(to PC) All right, let’s put about 80 more behind you.

(to pc) Got it going?

(to class) Naturally homes would always appear at the back. That would be the stuck – walking away down the road.

PC: I’ve still got my purple spot.

PC: I can get the sensation of me going away from them, but them going away from me? No.

LRH: Okay. Still got a purple spot. Good. Can you turn it red?

LRH: Can’t get that, huh? Well all right. Put up about… put 360 degrees worth of these houses, all the houses, all the dwellings – everything that you’ve lived in for 74 trillion years. Now: let’s put them all up here.

PC: It’s more red than it was.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Turn it white.

LRH: Got them all?

PC: No luck.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: You don’t like that – to turn it white? Hmm?

LRH: All right. Let’s take all those in front…

PC: No, it just doesn’t turn.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Hmm, well, it turns red.

LRH: …and stuff them into the body.

PC: Kind of. It’s a little more red than it was.

PC.: Okay.

LRH: All right. Now let’s turn it black.

LRH: Got ‘em all? Just stuff ‘em in.

PC: It gets rather dark purple. There’s a black now. Now it’s purple.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn it black… Now turn it purple.

LRH: Now let’s take those that are behind you and stuff them in.

PC: Good.

PC: Umm – okay.

LRH: Now turn it purpler. Make it more purple than it is?

LRH: What’s happening?

PC: It seems to shift a little bit between kinda red and green.

PC: The behind ones didn’t want to move, but they went in.

LRH: Well, is that more purple?

LRH: They went in. Okay. Now let’s mock up 360 degrees. Let’s mock ‘em all up again. Let’s get… recreate them. Let’s don’t get the other ones. Re-create ‘em now… 360 degrees.

PC: Can’t seem to settle on the purple. Okay, I got it.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Now just let it be what it will.

LRH: Get ‘em behind you real thick. There are lots of ‘em.

Uh… let’s uh… let’s just go to what you would do as an auditor if we said the following. Now let’s just go right straight through the steps of SOP Issue Five, and let’s be two feet back of your head. Where’d you go?

PC: Yeah.

PC: No, I wouldn’t be sure where I was.

LRH: All right. Let’s turn all of these red.

LRH: You wouldn’t, huh? All right. Let’s just put a beam straight against the inside of your forehead there and just put a beam in there and just give it a shove. Shove that forehead there a couple of feet forward.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: That purple spot’s about two feet ahead of me, but…

LRH: All of ‘em blue.

LRH: Purple spot’s about two feet ahead of you.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Yeah, but where I am, I don’t know.

LRH: Turn ‘em all white.

LRH: Uh-huh. Okay. Did you… did it go away from you two feet?

PC: Incidentally, these mock-ups don’t have much reality. There’s uh…

PC: Yeah, it’s about that far away.

LRH: Hmm.

LRH: Well, make it one foot ahead of you.

PC: …just the uh… occasional outline of the house.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Ridge. Okay, that’s all right. That’s all we want.

LRH: Make it three feet ahead of you.

PC: But I know confounded well they’re there.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right, let’s just pick up those that you see and stuff ‘em into the body. Those that you see, and stuff them in.

LRH: Now let’s be two feet higher than it.

PC: You mean the ones I see individually?

PC: Kind of a sensation of looking down at it, but not very good.

LRH: Yeah. And the outlines. Making it?

LRH: Okay, now be two feet lower than it.

PC: They’re pretty good.

PC: I’m getting kind of an odd idea of it being above me.

LRH: Well, create… for every one there, create two more.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s be a little bit further away from it.

PC: Okay.

PC: Hmm… I guess I’m probably about six or eight feet away.

LRH: Turn ‘em all red and snap ‘em into the body.

LRH: Okay. Things getting any plainer to you? I’m not asking you to look at the surroundings; I mean just do you have any more feeling of certainty?

PC: I can snap ‘em in in a mass but I can’t do it individually.

PC: Well, I’m not sure of whether that white spot is pushed out that-a-way or whether I pushed that-a-way.

LRH: Hmm.

LRH: Oh, is that what’s mixing you up?

PC: I can kind of run a sweeper on ‘em and pull ‘em in, but to pull them in one by one and see them as individuals coming in, I can’t do it.

PC: I don’t know.

LRH: Well, just pull them in as a mass.

LRH: Why don’t you just push yourself now? Push yourself out a little further.

PC: Okay.

PC: Kind of an odd feeling of being unsupported.

LRH: Put them all out there again. Keep those you’ve got in and mock them all up again.

LRH: Oh, yeah?

PC: Okay. They seemed to be farther out this time, for some reason or other.

PC: And I don’t know where the hang I am yet.

LRH: Oh, yeah? No!

LRH: Well, let’s mock up somebody falling.

PC: Yeah. It was a narrower band of them too.

PC: Okay.

LRH: And uh… let’s take them all and turn ‘em red.

LRH: Now let’s mock up a cat falling.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em blue.

LRH: A dog falling.

PC: All right.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Turn ‘em natural color.

LRH: A bird falling.

PC: Hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: What’s the matter?

LRH: A cow falling.

PC: They all went brown and they shouldn’t, if they’re natural color.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay, well, you expected it to happen automatically. Turn ‘em all brown.

LRH: Have a horse fall upward.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Bring ‘em all in, in a mass.

LRH: Have him fall downward. Have him stop falling.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Mock ‘em all up again.

LRH: Okay, mock up a green wall.

PC: It keeps getting thinner – farther out.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, yeah?

LRH: Mock up a body.

PC: Yeah. It seems like they’re a couple of miles out there.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s have them all snowed on.

LRH: Change the color of the wall.

PC: Incidentally, I can see another line of them just beyond. They’re awfully awfully far apart and scattered around.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Yeah?

LRH: Change the color of the body.

PC: Hey, this is interesting.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Let’s have them… let’s have them all snowed on.

LRH: Throw ‘em out the window.

PC: Snowed on. Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Let’s have them all rained on now.

LRH: Okay. Now uh… how do you feel about it?

PC: Okay.

PC: Good.

LRH: Let’s have them all blown on.

LRH: Feel good? You got any better idea of location? Do you… you have any little tiny faint or partial visio on anything?

PC: Okay.

PC: No… Well, there’s that purple spot.

LRH: And let’s have the sun shining on all of them.

LRH: You’ve got that purple spot. Why don’t you turn it into a golfball and knock it way away.

PC: Okay.

PC: It doesn’t knock.

LRH: Now let’s have it be twilight on all of them.

LRH: It doesn’t knock, huh?

PC: Hmm? Yeah. Okay.

PC: Nope. It doesn’t turn into a golfball either.

LRH: What’s the matter?

LRH: It doesn’t? Okay, I tell you what we’ll do. Tell you what we’ll do. Turn it red.

PC: I’m just fascinated. I can keep seeing houses farther and farther out, more and more lines of them.

PC: Got it pink.

LRH: Oh, yeah.

LRH: Okay, deepen the pink. Lighten the pink. Deepen it. Now keep it from being scarlet.

PC: I’ve got five of them out there now… four… four lines. They’re awfully… awfully far apart out there. That’s the last bunch.

PC: Now that requires effort.

LRH: Yeah. What do you know! We got houses! All right. Why don’t you put twice as many out there?

LRH: Really? But you then managed it?

PC: Incidentally, for what it’s worth, I got a kind of an odd sensation. The darn things are stacked up this way, too – in all directions.

PC: Uh-uh! It got scarlet on me.

LRH: There couldn’t be any relationship to this and scrambled anchor points. Let’s mock up twice as many.

LRH: (to class) Uh… I’m going to throw another step in here just for the hell of it. It’s in Standard Operating Procedure Issue One and Two.

PC: Twice as… Okay.

(to pc) Try not to be a foot back of your head. What happens when you do that?

LRH: Oh, you didn’t want to do that?

PC: Well, I put forth a little effort, feel a little tension, but nothing else.

PC: Yeah, I did it.

LRH: Uh-huh. Okay. Now let’s try to… just pick up a point out in front of your body.

LRH: Well, let’s mock up twice as many again.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Hold it still.

LRH: Let’s turn all of those red.

PC: I seem to get a kind of odd visio, looking at my leg.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, yeah? All right, what’s this spot there? You got the spot?

LRH: Let’s have night fall on them.

PC: That jumped out when I told you about my leg.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Well, let’s put it back there.

LRH: Let’s have dawn break on them.

PC: It’s doing a fair job of sticking around in the vicinity.

PC: All right.

LRH: It’s doing a fair job of it, huh?

LRH: Let’s bring them all in and stuff ‘em into the body.

PC: Uh-huh.

PC: All the different…

LRH: Okay. Is it holding completely still?

LRH: Everything.

PC: Not completely. It’s awfully hard to get it down to a precise spot too.

PC:. …lines of them out there?

LRH: Let’s not worry about it.

LRH: Yeah, everything. You like those lines, don’t you?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah, I get a kick out of ‘em.

LRH: Uh… you had an impression to look at your leg suddenly, huh?

LRH: Let’s just bring ‘em all in.

PC: Kind of.

PC: I get them in fairly close but they don’t seem to want to pop in.

LRH: (to class) You know, once in a blue moon you don’t find the preclear in the head. Now this is outside the mock-ups which I was doing there, throwing in some randomity. And outside of introducing negative exteriorization, which you don’t have to know anything about. But it’s a technique. Now this is standard so far, and I’m not doing it to invalidate him because I could actually work him on any of these steps until he was exterior. But I just want to keep going.

LRH: Make twice as many.

But the easiest, fastest way to do it is Just go right on through the steps.

PC: Okay.

(to pc) Let’s take the old homestead now.

LRH: Turn ‘em all red.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. Let’s make a whole ring of them all the way around you, about 20 feet away from you.

LRH: Turn ‘em all blue. What’s the matter?

(to class) That’s faster, because he got ‘em fast. That’s faster. And that’s more of them than you would normally ask for.

PC: I’m kinda bewildered, their being all over.

You got a few?

LRH: Hmm?

PC: Yeah, kind of dimly but I’ve got ‘em.

PC: They’ve lost their… their flat orientation to a high degree, and they’re all over.

LRH: All right, now this – are they in back of you too?

LRH: Well! Anchor points. Okay. Now let’s take all of those houses – take a good look at ‘em. Then pick up one house and stuff it in.

PC: Yeah.

PC: All right. They’re coming now.

LRH: All right. Let’s start taking them then, from in back of you and start sticking them in – stacking them into yourself.

LRH: Okay.

PC: Okay.

PC: They’re in.

LRH: Stick ‘em in. One after the other.

LRH: Good. Pack them all down tight. Make sure that the anchor points are packed down too, tight.

PC: Okay.

PC: Make it what? Okay.

LRH: Got ‘em all?

LRH: Pack ’em down tighter.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, why don’t you rig up another ring of ‘em? Now let’s let one just drift out there about five or ten feet in front of you. Does it show any tendency to do anything?

LRH: All right, let’s mock ‘em all up again, particularly behind your back.

PC: Yeah, it flipped over on its top easily.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Toward you or away from you?

LRH: Let’s make those behind your back shoot away from you very fast.

PC: Umm it’s just rolled over…

PC: Okay.

LRH: Towards you?

LRH: All right. Now stop their going, turn ‘em around and make ‘em fly into you very quickly.

PC: Yeah, toward me, I guess.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Well, what do you know? All right, now let’s just stack all of those you just put out there, and stack ‘em in. Just pick ‘em all up and just stick ‘em in.

LRH: Stuff all the rest of ‘em in.

(aside to class) I’ll go right on now with a Step Four. I’ll do this much more rapidly than you would ordinarily do it.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: What happened?

LRH: Is it getting easier to do?

PC: I had a little trouble getting ‘em in, but they kind of got in.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, stuff them down real good.

LRH: Why don’t you throw ‘em all out there in a circle again and turn ‘em purple?

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now make one very good-looking house out in front of you – very good-looking.

LRH: All right. Put cowboys on each one of ‘em.

PC: Uh-huh.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Change it around until you know it’s yours.

LRH: Change the cowboys to Indians.

PC: Well, I know it’s mine now.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Put it behind you.

LRH: Now have the houses develop legs and gallop in a wide circle around you.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Bring it in.

LRH: Now speed up the gallop.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Umm.

LRH: Now, put it way out in front of you.

LRH: What’s happened?

PC: Okay.

PC: Well, they were going around me and they gradually shifted and they’re going around out there.

LRH: Now let the next rank… the last group of houses go on out and keep going.

LRH: Now let’s put them out there where they belong.

PC: Okay.

PC: Over here? Okay.

LRH: The next to the last group… just let the houses keep going until you’ve got ‘em all gone – all waves of houses.

LRH: And let’s bring ‘em in on your lap. Let’s pile them all in on your lap now.

PC: I’ve got a sort of feeling of relief.

PC: The mock-ups are rather dim and not very substantial, but they’re… they’re there.

LRH: Kind of pent up, are you?

LRH: You’ve got ‘em on your lap?

PC: Yeah, in some way.

PC: Yup.

LRH: You feel pent up?

LRH: Okay. You’ve got ‘em on your lap. Condense them into one house.

PC: A little bit.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right, now…

LRH: Got it? One house?

PC: Right now.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: … inside yourself… now inside yourself, without creating them outside, but just create a mass inside which are all the women you’ve ever known.

LRH: All right. Let’s take this house and turn it into a castle.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now have them get out and leave, and just keep them going out.

LRH: And put it way out on the other side of the room.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Lots of them?

LRH: Put it in yesterday.

PC: Yeah, lots of them.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Lots of eem – keep ‘em going. Create lots more now inside yourself and keep ‘em going.

LRH: Mock up a woman.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Create lots more and keep ‘em going. Now as they – what’s the matter?

LRH: Another one.

PC: Okay.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: What happened? What were you going to tell me?

LRH: Another one.

PC: Well, for a little while there was this area – probably 25 yards in diameter – that didn’t have any women in it.

PC: Okay.

LRH: No…

LRH: Another one. What are they doing, by the way?

PC: I had to mock up some more to get ‘em coming out.

PC: Just standing…

LRH: Okay. Now as they leave… as they’ve left there, reach way out and pat one of them on the head and feel how sweet she is.

LRH: They are?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Feel how nice they all were.

LRH: Well, have them turn around and walk away from you.

PC: Okay.

PC: They have a tendency to walk out and then slip back about three feet.

LRH: All right. Inside yourself now, mock up all these friends and start them leaving.

LRH: All right. Take ‘em one after the other and just throw ‘em into your body.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now following them, just start mocking up houses, one after the other – lots of them – and have them leaving.

LRH: Uh… have any difficulty with that?

PC: These dang things aren’t going out flat at all like you’d think they ought to. They’re going out in a sphere more or less.

PC: No.

LRH: The houses?

LRH: All right. Now just mock up all the women you have… just mock up… we don’t care how sloppy. We’re not interested in identification of ‘em at all – uh… no matter how sloppy – just mock up every woman you ever knew on the whole track for the last 74 trillion years, and just pick ‘em up in big circles and start throwing ‘em into the body, and if just a moment before they come in they seem to stick, turn ‘em red or blue – or turn ‘em red and blue and they’ll slip in.

PC: Everything.

PC: Is this to be done individually or as a whole mess of ‘em?

LRH: Yeah?

LRH: And just at any time, any moment that you get one out here who doesn’t want to come in, make three more like her. And the last one that you made will probably snap in. Now let’s… let’s just uh… go at it… this and s… the last you made will snap in and then take in the other two. I’m not trying to set this up on an automatic basis. I’m just setting it up as a routine. You’ve got a lot of dames to handle here. Now we don’t want to waste any time with these dames. Because dames, after all, are dames. And uh… let’s mock these things up in a huge crowd standing behind you and in front of you and on each side of you.

PC: Friends, women, what have you. They all go out in a sphere.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Umm-hmm. Anything wrong with that?

LRH: Now let’s put a great big balcony and so forth above you – full of ‘em.

PC: Come to think of it, it makes sense. Okay.

PC: Umm-hmm.

LRH: Okay. How far have they gone?

LRH: Now a huge square of ‘en below you, full of ‘em.

PC: Oh, five, ten miles.

PC: Okay.

LRH: None of them stop? Now mock up a very, very nice house right behind you.

LRH: All right. Start pulling them in from all sides and descriptions, one by one, or ten by ten – I don’t care. Let’s get ‘em all.

PC: Umm-hmm.

PC: I get them as far as… no personal identity there at all. I couldn’t pick out one of the group if I tried to.

LRH: Now, let’s make it move away with rapidity behind you.

LRH: Did you get ‘em all?

PC: Okay.

PC: Well, I… They’re still stuck out here.

LRH: Easy to do.

LRH: They’re still stuck?

PC: Umm-hmm!

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay, mock up a whole lot of enemies inside yourself and have them leave.

LRH: Turn them all green.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Follow that by mocking up a whole lot of currency inside yourself and having it leave.

LRH: Turn them all blue.

PC: Hey, that’s fun. Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Is it still leaving?

LRH: For every one of those, make two more.

PC: Sure.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Okay. Let ‘em roll. Let’s mock up a whole lot of food inside yourself and let it leave.

LRH: For every one of those, make two more.

PC: Hmmmm…

PC: Okay.

LRH: What happened?

LRH: It’s getting to be quite a few, huh?

PC: That steak looked good.

PC: Quite a few.

LRH: Good. Good. Okay. Let it leave. You holding on to it?

LRH: Turn ‘em red.

PC: Well, there’s a pork chop!

PC: Okay.

LRH: Pork chop?

LRH: Turn ‘em blue.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All gone.

LRH: What’s the matter?

PC: Yeah.

PC: I’m having trouble keeping ‘em blue.

LRH: Okay, let’s put a uh… point…

LRH: Oh, you’re having trouble keeping them blue? Well, turn ‘em back to natural color.

PC: Yeah, but that steak’s still there!

PC: They’ve moved a considerable distance away from me. A mile or so, at least.

LRH: That steak’s still there?

LRH: Oh, they have moved away from you?

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, just create several platters of steak.

LRH: No kidding? Well now, pick them up and stuff them into the body. Let’s get going on this. There are quite a few dames there.

PC: Okay.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Oh, let’s get them stacked now. Lots of platters of steak on top of platters of steak. Got that?

LRH: Is it working okay?

PC: Okay.

PC: I think they’re inside.

LRH: Now get beautiful waitresses carrying each platter of steak.

LRH: You think so? Well, let’s pack them down…

PC: All right. They’re gone!

PC: They’re not there, anyway.

LRH: They’re gone. All right. Okay. Now uh… one more… still taste it?

LRH: Huh?

PC: Confound it, I could.’ Yes.

PC: I haven’t got them out there – and I felt them coming in.

(to class) Well, we of course go into this – we go into another Spacation besides this, but I want to test something here.

LRH: Okay. Now let’s pack ‘em into the body a little tighter.

(to PC) What’s the matter?

PC: Umm.

PC: Oh, I just get a kick out of it, that’s all.

LRH: Kind of crowd ‘em down.

LRH: Okay.

PC: Yeah, they were just packed and then they went out and then I pushed them in again.

PC: I could really taste that confounded steak for a while there.

LRH: Yeah. Let’s get them in there real good now.

LRH: Let’s put a point out in front of yourself.

All right now, the dickens with those. Let’s… let’s… let’s mock ‘em all up again. Get ‘em out there around you – mock ‘em all up again.

PC: Eyes open or closed?

PC: I can pick ‘em out as individuals much better then I could before.

LRH: Doesn’t matter.

LRH: Oh, yeah?

PC: Okay.

PC: Yes. It’s pretty good – more detail.

LRH: Is it stable?

LRH: Put ribbons flying over their heads.

PC: A lot more stable than it was, yes.

PC: Okay.

LRH: A lot more stable than it was?

LRH: Now, make a couple more for every one you’ve got there.

PC: Pretty – pretty stable.

PC: That doesn’t seem to come too good.

LRH: Well. oh, let’s just shoot the moon here. Uh… let’s take a look at the inside of your forehead.

LRH: Making more of ‘em?

(aside to class) Two ways to play this, the spacation is the safe way.

PC: No.

PC: I’m still getting a lot of purple, but I think that’s a visio through the normal eyes.

LRH: Why, were you too… so interested in them becoming suddenly individual?

LRH: Yeah? Well, let’s put a beam out against the front of your forehead and shove yourself out the back of your head, if you can find yourself there. If you can get that. What do you get when you do that?

PC: Well, they’ve lost that again and become a mass.

PC: Well, it’s still uncertain, but I’ve a kind of a hunch that I might be there.

LRH: Oh, and this is not quite as desirable?

LRH: Kind of a hunch you might be there, huh? Well, let’s mock up the body, dress it up in a turban, and put a big feather in front of the turban.

PC: I don’t know.

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: We’ve got ‘em all mocked up there as a mass. Now just turn ‘em red.

LRH: Got that? Okay. Now let’s explode the whole thing with a bang of electricity.

PC: This mock-up is just loosing a lot of its uh… detail and… reality

PC: Mmm… okay. It didn’t explode very well. I busted it in two, and I’ve got the halves lying there.

LRH: Oh yeah?

LRH: Okay. All right. Where the halves are lying, have them get uh… all blown up with electricity.

PC:… as it goes on.

PC: Is that them too? Okay.

LRH: It’s getting sort of red, though?

LRH: You got it? Let’s take a… let’s take a look there at the back of your head.

PC: Umm, kind of, yeah.

PC: Hmm.

LRH: All right, now just uh… let ‘em be whatever shade they want to be and stuff ‘em in. Get ‘em in there.

LRH: What’s the matter?

PC: Okay.

PC: I was starting to begin to ask myself ‘which direction?’ And looking at the outside seemed to be easiest.

LRH: Pack ‘em down.

LRH: The outside seemed to be…

PC: Yeah. I don’t know. I just suddenly began to wonder which direction I look at it from, and…

LRH: Okay. Let’s call that a process.

PC: Okay.

(to class) You wouldn’t ordinarily do what I just did.

Okay, uh… that’s just simply that. I could have gone down through the rest of the line but I had sympathy for your appetites and so on, you’ re very patient, and uh… if you’ll notice there, one point about it, he did have a little bit higher level of certainty. We tore up all his anchor points and we did a lot of other things.

Now that is not a complete – not complete Give and Take. A complete Give and Take would be as given. I introduced some randomity in it just to show you that you don’t have to go according to the rule book. And uh… that was played in the direction as to give him minimals… minimal can’ts. If you’d rigged up all these enemies, for instance, and done nothing more about them, and had them suddenly spring, and so forth, you would have run into a little bit of ‘can’t’. In other words, we’re just keeping on the sunny side of ‘can’ all the way through. Now we get through, he’ll have a better sense of orientation. And that’s what we’re looking for.

Now how many people in this class have been… how many people in this class have been outside and know it? Just have been outside and know it? That’s what we’re saying. Let’s count this.

Would you count it?

Voice: There’s 13 or 14 – 14 out of about… we’ve got a couple of them. We’ve got two or three more slightly doubtfuls.

LRH: Two or three more doubtfuls. We’ve got 13 or 14.

Voice: Yes.

LRH: Or we’ve got just a little bit over a third.

Voice: Uh-uh.

LRH: That’s not good enough, you know?

Voice: About 40 percent.

LRH: You’re not working hard enough, that’s all. Just been too many lectures here in this period of time. Now you can blame me.

But, when we get down to a Standard Operating Procedure, Issue Five, you can do it with a great deal more randomity, with a lot less uh… color. mean by that, a lot less razzle-dazzle, as I’m doing it. You can do it on a strictly ‘plug-it-out’ basis. I don’t care what you do as long as you avoid the ‘shuns’ and just carry through. Why, you’re gonna… gonna get there with the pc.

Now you’ve had… you’ll have some time for auditing after this, but uh… that is because we haven’t had time to audit. That’s because I haven’t done as much auditing here as I should have done – too many lectures again.

Now you may have, at this moment, a little more Idea of the level of precision demanded. It’s sloppy, isn’t it? That’s the level of precision – sloppy.

You know, if you go out… if you go out with a… on a Chicago piano loaded to the hilt, and then put four more Chicago pianos around it so it fires in all directions, and then get inside and pull the trigger; and your target is a sphere located five feet away, you are sure to hit the sphere. Level of precision.

Now the way you make a man fail in Standard Operating Procedure – you couldn’t just in auditing make him fail very badly – but you could make him fail by just getting can’ts, can’ts, can’ts, can’ts, can’ts. And then… one little win, and then cant’s, cant’s, cant’s, cant’s. Because at the level you find your preclear, he can’t get too many loses. An operating thetan can get loses without much affecting his skill. So you want to get him up there, otherwise he rollercoasters around.

As I started to say, if you were out in Curlique, New Jersey, or uh… the other end of the moon or some place, you take SELF ANALYSIS all by itself, with mock-ups for yourself and do it – put the mock-ups in front of you and behind you – I don’t know how long it would take off-hand. Maybe… I don’t know, 60, 80, 90 hours – you’d get there, just on that level of randomity.

So let’s not strain too hard to make sure and be very serious and very careful about the whole deal. Let’s just keep him winning and follow SOP Issue Five. And uh… follow it as roughly as that. See, I… I played a game there. I… I did a risk. He said, „It’s more stable than it was.“ If he’d said, „It’s completely stable,“ I could, of course flipped up to Two without much trouble. „It’s more stable than it was“ – that really indicated Spacation – here we go. And you actually would have done it… done Spacation at that point and just gone right on through and done a complete Spacation.

And if your session was all busted up by time, you’ve ended a session, you end another session and you end another session. If you would just bring him to a win. It’s easy to find wins in this processing – very easy. ‘All the houses lined up out there’ actually were a win. He suddenly realizes that ‘he had them, sort of’, in an orderly effort to orient them or… or something of the sort. Why, there he sat, they were aligned. It’s a funny thing, anchor points and there the darn houses were…

I don’t know, how’d you feel about that?

PC: l can’t correlate them – with an anchor point. I mean, that’s the only thing I have trouble finding… Where do you get the connection? To me they’re houses, period.

LRH: They’re houses period, that’s right. But it’s funny – they all lined up. The only mock-up that lined up for you. We don’t have to get a connection. Nobody asks a preclear to think or evaluate. I was just doing that for your own benefit.

And don’t look at the preclear and expect that uh… he’s going to thank you tremendously and depend on him for a licence to survive, because this immediately tells you that you’re not cause.

It’s an inevitable fact that you can make not only a theta clear, but an operating thetan. And you start operating with a postulate at whatever level you’re going to hit or whatever you’re going to do. And then you just go ahead and do it – no automaticity to amount to anything. All the automaticity you need is in the organization of this subject. And boy, it’s cut down up there at least about C on that cone I was showing you last night.

And your level of precision can be even sloppier than this level if you just follow those steps. But if you think it’s terribly serious and it’s terribly important and it’s terribly this and it’s terribly that, the strain will tell, not necessarily on the preclear, but you.

Now, when you audit, don’t worry about… don’t worry about consequences too much because sooner or later in using any of the steps you’re going to hit a win. And leave him in a win and keep him winning, because winning goes up-scale. And losing goes down-scale. That’s all you need. And you start going up-scale on wins and you get automatically, up into the energy band, you get right on up into the being band. That’s all. Just keep winning. And you as an auditor make sure with your preclears that you win. That’s the only thing that you want to do. And that will make you a better and better and better auditor.

And then one fine day you walk down the street, and you say, „Now that’s a fine-looking man. He ought to be a theta clear!“ POP! „Now how do you feel?“ you say theta-wise.

And the fellow says, „Well, imagine me being here!“

You say, „Well, you imagine it if you want,“ and uh… walk on down the street.

The fellow says, „Wait a minute, uh… uh… you say, you were thinking at the time of so-and-so and so-and-so?“

And you say, „That’s right. That’s right.“

He says, „Well the last thing that I was going to do before I got into this spiral is I knew a little thetan – cute little thing – up on uh… uh…uh… Ganymede in uh… the Upper Constellation of the Swan and… Goodbye. Thank you.“

You talk about healing at a distance. Don’t you worry about healing at a distance until you can heal instantaneously up close. If you can heal instantaneously up close, Lord knows what will happen.

But again, it isn’t an automatic process. It’s because you BE the thing, and ‘be’ it perfectly – simple, isn’t it? Just be it, and then be it perfectly, and then be something else. Don’t go on being it. It wins then too, and you stay up scale.

Okay, that’s uh… it and uh… we’ll have a few more demonstrations of these principles.
