& Well, here we begin the last lecture of the congress, and if it's alright with you it'll be a totally technical lecture. Alright.

We can relax and just coast here. There's not very much going to happen between now and the end of the congress.

& We've had so many things to jam in along the line. There are many things which staff has asked me to explain and announce and so forth, and I'm going to have to forego them. But I will say one or two things. And that is, anybody present is eligible to be a member of the NAAP. Anybody. It is expected that its membership will include non-Scientologists.

Not very much.

& And another thing I will say just very briefly is, there is a Washington evacuation operation. We own two hundred acres of land, or are procuring it, and another sixth of an acre with a big house on it, and phones and lights and all that sort of thing. We have three boats, and we have the ways and means of evacuating Scientology Washington in event of any national disaster, not that we expect one particularly, but it would be foolhardy at this time not to have some means of safeguarding some of the principle materials of and the skills of Scientology. So that lies about thirty-five miles down the Potomac, and is on a place called Equia Creek. And is well up a small arm from the Potomac. And if all of the highways were closed here, we still have three boats, fast ones, that can very easily evacuate staff, their families, preclears and students who are here at that time. So if you feel like you shouldn't stay in Washington very long because the place is liable to get sort of hot and radioactive and so forth, don't worry. You'll be in good hands.

I have the pleasure at the moment of announcing to you pursuant to my last lecture concerning responsibility, a new organization.

& It has been; I will be frank; a little strain on the operation, getting together this equipment, this land, and going ahead and trying to put it into a decent form. But some time in the future I expect an academy to go up on those two hundred acres we have down there in Virginia, where somebody can come and his price of training would include his subsistence and so forth. That will not be for a long time, a year or two. But it is coming. It is coming.

We have undoubtedly founded here the first American school of mental practice and understanding. And if we do less than take full responsibility for mental practice in the United States we would be very foolish.

& So we have the situation pretty well in hand here. In view of the fact that nearly all of the principle tapes and materials of Scientology, all of its records, all of its test reports and this tremendous stuff; I suppose if the Ford Foundation had them they'd evaluate them at somewhere around a couple of billion bucks. But that's no exaggeration, that's what it would have cost them to acquire it, had they ever been able to do so. And we have seen to it that you will not be left high and dry.

The last time I looked it was still our country. Maybe the next time I look that will not be true – that will not be true. But nevertheless it still is.

& The point is that we do have ways and means of de-radio-activating people. And we are writing all the government officials and telling them they will be welcome if they are not properly cared for. We may wind up, we may wind up with a radioactive set of government officials on our hands, you know?

And therefore I don't see any reason why an American school should be lambasted and slam-banged and fooled with, reviled in its own country unless it is true that America kills all those who try to help her. If that's true then there is no hope for it.

& It's odd but you know the medical facilities required under medicine to treat one person for radiation amount to about one hospital full of facilities? You know that? And that under any wide spread disaster it would be possible to treat maybe six or seven hundred people in the whole country. It's such a tiny thing because so much is required to do so little. Anyway, we can do one auditor and some group process, and get you over the worst of it.

Just why we have had a bad seven years is because the field of mental practice itself is bad beyond bad. Extremely bad. I'm not telling you now that it's all bad over there. I am simply telling you that the world of psychology, psychiatry and psychoanalysis has erred sweepingly! And that all mental practice today should be in worse repute than it is.

& Completely aside from that, the operation is embarking as I have invited you to embark on a nullification of radiation. Almost like a prayer, you know? Another thing is, I don't want anybody to get the; well with that, with that, the evacuation centers, this is, you might say, your center. You would still have ways and means then, if your own area was pretty flat and so forth, why you can always come down there. You get the idea? You'll all be welcome.

Two thousand dead men per year, two thousand dead men per year – under electric shock. Thousands more dead with brain surgery. People whose lives are being wrecked, men whose lives are being ended by suicide, all because of thoroughly bad mental practice in the United States. The United States up to this time has imported nearly all of its mental practice from Russia, and from Germany.

& Now the, another half a dozen things have been requested of me to say to you one way or the other, but you will find them out by osmosis or some such process. I actually ought to get along with this particular lecture. But before I do, let me congratulate such people as Charles Burner out in California, and John McCormick, for their activities. They are acquiring property and facilities. I think Dr. Burner has a fifty thousand dollar child's school going up totally devoted to Scientology.

Now, a lot of you people don't believe me when I tell you that psychology in the United States was founded by Professor Wundt of Leipzig, Germany in 1879. Of course, Columbia University teaches psychology, doesn't it? And it's an American school, isn't it? They teach the work of Professor Wundt, Leipzig, Germany, 1879, a pal of Karl Marx.

& Many other such projects are going on. They are all very worthwhile, and I want to thank you for them. This is probably the livest operation in the United States, maybe it's the only one that is alive at all. Thank you.

Listen, it isn't "psychology." The word "psyche" means spirit, and "ology" or "logos" means study or knowledge.

All right, now let's get on with it, huh. We started this congress talking about a thing called a Clear. On your congress program there is a misprint. It says definition of a Clear: "One who can be knowingly and willingly at cause over life, matter, energy, space and time." That's not a Clear. Clear is a Book One definition: It's a person without an engram bank. Don't get mixed up. That program definition is Operating Thetan; that's an Operating Thetan.

What does the anatomy of the brain have to do with "psyche"? Nothing! We practice in the field of "psychophysics." It's a word you will find in the dictionary. It is the inter-influence between mind and matter, or spirit and matter more properly. "Psychophysics" the interrelationship between spirit and matter.

It's obvious that a person who had total control over life, matter, energy, space and time could mock up an army that everybody could see. But we're talking about a Clear and that was our goal in Book One and I think it's enough at this congress that I announce its attainment – a small thing, by lots of auditors. See, it's being attained now.

Now psychology is understood to be something between the brain and the body today, and that is a complete misnomer, and the moment we swing this thing back what do we find lying before us? We find a vista of abuse, of lies, of a country's morale being caved-in, of the most villainous activities man ever invented being garbed with the respectability of degrees and universities and so on.

And I want to very hastily go over Clear Procedure with you and supplement its material just a little bit particularly with regard to Step Six and maybe I can give you a little clearer understanding of what this is all about.

We have this constant statement held up to us that IQ cannot be changed. That is taught in the universities of America! That personality cannot in any way be altered. Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, if that is true, why are they operating? Look, if man can't be changed what are they doing?

The earlier steps are devoted to keeping a session in progress and in devoting – are devoted to keeping a preclear under control enough so that he will run the processes. Do you see that?

Should there be any respectability at all to this then? They must be studying in a total defeatism, but what are they studying and why are they studying it if there is nothing can be done about it? And yet nobody seems to have asked that sensible question.

Now, the 19th ACC will be devoted to these processes and they will all be used and thoroughly supervised. If you don't make that – at the same time don't feel – don't feel discouraged and say, "Well, I'm not supposed to use Clear Procedure because I didn't attend the 19th ACC." I expect most of you to be in the 19th ACC so that's a safe remark to make. I would actually like to have the privilege of teaching you personally about this sort of thing, but nevertheless – you got smart brains and – that's a subtle Scientology insult.

So today we have asked it with the formation and foundation of the National Academy of American Psychology, lately formed in Washington, DC, chartered by the District of Columbia and officered by people who know what they are doing.

Well, we have here – we have here the earlier part of this devoted to how to keep a session in progress and how to keep the participation of a person rolling and how to get him enough under control so that we can do the crux of the situation which is one of the briefer steps outlined. And it's only half a page here; it's on page 24 of Clear Procedure and it says "Chapter 8, Step Six, Creative Processing."

Now, why should we go ahead and do this? It is not that Scientology becomes psychology, but that the field and practice of psychology, the field and practice of psychiatry, the field and practice of psychoanalysis have thrown into disrepute mental practice in the United States to such a degree that we have a difficult time going forward.

Well, you all know about Creative Processing, and if you don't you should get Scientology 8-8008 and get as garbled as I did. But you ought to read its basic and background theory because it's given in there quite succinctly.

If you were in an automobile and you find a tree blown down across the road, let me assure you the sensible thing to do is to remove the tree. And we, as we go down the road, discover that a tree lies across our track and that tree is all the mistakes that have been made, all of the people who've been disillusioned, all of the students who have been brought into universities and taught psychology, which mainly was name the parts of the brain. The parts of the brain? What does this have to do with psychology?

But this is – this is simply the most condensed statement of the mechanics involved in the creation of a Clear that I could make. I might be able to get a few words out of here the way you do out of telegrams. You know erase some articles and prepositions and so forth but it couldn't be condensed much more than it is there and if anything you may find it a little too condensed. So much so that I have along with every other writing job I have waiting for me – my – the whole – people come in to see me, at the desk and the whole front of the desk is stacked up with papers and manuscripts and notes, you see, on my hat, writing, and then back over here alongside of a big bank of tape recorders is a box and it is totally stacked up with blue folders and each one of them is a book. Otherwise I'm not much behind.

Now, it's a materialistic study a hundred percent and I am not going to give you a lecture on the length and breadth of psychology. I ask you to get a standard text on the line and read it for a change! Read it. And if you find anything in it that will help you help your fellow man, I will pay you a thousand dollars cash! It says apathy-apathy-apathy- apathy-apathy.

And Creative Processing will be scheduled as a book, but you'll see it sometime this year, probably toward the end of the year however – length of time it takes to get something out.

Psychology cannot be defined because it is – used to be that "psyche" meant spirit; it doesn't mean spirit today – and it used to mean mind, but it doesn't mean mind today, and it doesn't study because it – didn't but it's all – ... You have to know its history in order to know what it means. W L. Mann, a paraphrase of his opening paragraphs.

But the whole thing, the whole story of Creative Processing is one of the more fabulous things you can do with somebody's mind.

What a fascinating – what a fascinating series of buffooneries. And we're expected to kowtow to and obey the laws laid down by these fakers! And I won't do it anymore! Scare ya?

Well, actually, what process could there be except Creative Processing if you addressed the mind? What else is there in the mind but mental image pictures and the automaticities one assumes to handle them. Well, now if that's all there is in the mind, then Creative Processing does cover this field called the mind. Do you see that? It possibly is almost a closer cousin to Dianetics than to Scientology. Do you see that?

It is time that America cleaned up its psychology, psychiatry and psycho-analysis; it's time it cleaned it up, so therefore I have taken the occasion of its filthiness to write a loyalty oath which they better sign or else.

But in Scientology we consider it this way, and therefore Creative Processing handled from a Scientology viewpoint would be increasing the confidence of a thetan in his ability to handle mental image pictures, not erase or straighten out mental image pictures; that was the goal in Dianetics.

The NAAP is totally devoted to just this, a clean-up. It isn't going to train anybody; it isn't going to do anything for anybody, beyond try to assure the public of good practice in the field of mental practice; that is all it is going to do, like the Good Housekeeping Institute. Do you get the idea?

See, in Dianetics we were straightening out these pictures, and in Scientology, we're getting the person, the being himself to straighten out these pictures. You see? Now, therefore the total emphasis of this step (and get this very well) is to increase confidence, increase ability.

Now if you think that it has anything else in mind, why just banish it because it doesn't. Has nothing else in mind but the cleanup of psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis. And that is all it's got in mind.

& Now the final goal of the step is bringing to the person the realization that he himself, without any further question in his mind, is actually the one who is creating the pictures, and who has created all of the pictures, and with that full realization he doesn't create any more pictures unless he himself thinks of doing so. He has to create the picture. You get the idea? It's no longer the picture is created and he looks at it. He creates the picture and knows that he creates the picture, and hasn't any other pictures than those he creates. And that is a clear. And that is the goal of Creative Processing.

Its existence does not make you a psychologist. Membership in it does not make you a psychologist – you are still a Scientologist even if you are a member of it. Do you understand? Anybody can be a member of it and it doesn't cost a dime. It costs nothing to be a member of it at all.

And all the goals in Clear Procedure step by step are simply added up to making it possible to run this Step Six, Creative Processing, and its goal is to bring a person into the full and complete realization that he himself creates his own mind. Do you understand that?

All right, I wrote up here a loyalty oath of mental practice. Now, why did I say a "loyalty oath of mental practice?" That's because Euro-Russian psychology is the only psychology taught in the United States today in these great institutions that are turning out all these scientists that are not firing off Vanguards properly.

& Anything then which doesn't serve that particular goal or activity is not desired or required. So quantitative running; you know, if we just make eight or nine thousand more, why the mechanics of it will take care of it. You get the idea? If we just have him do it for eighteen hundred more hours, the grind of it alone will come out the top somehow. That's not indicated in this step. There's no grind about this step.

Now, if these are foreign philosophies, they possibly could be used to no good. Remember these are the philosophies that gave Germany into the hands of Hitler, that gave Russia into the hands of Stalin. These same philosophies spread about gave Italy into the hands of Mussolini; these are the philosophies that started totalitarian states, and are directly responsible for the death of 30 million people in the last two decades! Don't think that they don't have a lot of arsenic slid in along with them. You couldn't overstate the case against them.

& It's goal is to increase his awareness and willingness, and to bring about the realization that he creates his own mental image pictures. His mind, these mental images. And this includes the totality of the reactive mind. You understand that?

But there is no reason why they cannot practice ethically if they must practice at all.

So that in Book One you read all about the reactive mind which was below the level of consciousness. Now this individual has to be – got to become so conscious that he knows he's even creating his reactive mind. In other words these reactivities which are the total study of older psychologies: reactivity, interaction of pictures, stimulus-response, these were totally the subject of Pavlov's studies, Wundt's studies, only they didn't even know what they were studying. They hadn't even noticed the picture.

And when we read in See magazine, and Changing Times and old issues of Coronets about these "quack Scientologists." If you think I am going to take this laying down and without manning a few machine guns, you have overlooked the fact that I am used to manning machine guns. Now, if I say that we should clean up mental practice in the United States, it is only pursuant to taking some responsibility for our own field. And as long as we sit back and say, "Well, we are just ourselves, us poor little organization with everybody against us" we will never get anywhere. It is time that we took responsibility across the field of mental practice, and this we intend to do.

Now, Dianetics noticed the picture and said you could do something about it. Scientology has come along and taken the person and placed him in a position where he can create these pictures when he wants them.

Therefore, I have written this Loyalty Oath of Mental Practice and if the boys can't sign this, they shouldn't be tampering with human thinkingness.

Now, fortunately for us, as a man improves in his awareness and ability, he improves in ethical sense. As you remove the limitations on his action, he actually does improve in his social ability to act. How fortunate that is – it could be quite another way.

It goes this way:

It could be the way the psychologist said it was, "Man was basically a beast, and that he needed more and more punishment, and more and more barriers to make him better and better."

"I hereby subscribe to the following code of ethics and practice and swear to abide by it at all times."

There was even a book published some years ago Be Glad You're Neurotic. Well, that is so far from the truth that as a writer – as a writer I can tell you quite vividly that my speed of writing and ability to cope with writing and artistry in the field of writing went downhill to the degree that it went on automatic and toward the end of the thirties my production was nowhere near as high as it had been in the early part of the thirties because I had set up a whole bunch of mental bric-a-brac to do the job for me and I had reactively begun to write. Do you get the idea?

The hooker in that line is an interesting one. He "swears to abide by it at all times." Failing to abide by it brings him up for a charge of perjury which is a criminal offense. So this oath has teeth in it.

In other words, my writing had been – come if anything "neurotic." Do you get the idea? "Be glad you're neurotic," indeed! In other words, the more reactive bank I got, the less speed and accuracy there was in my writing, do you see that? And it wasn't until Dianetics came along and took a scoop shovel to an awful lot of this stuff and I got a clear view of things again, that I started to write with any speed. Do you see that?

"One: To support the Constitution of the government of the United States."

I used to have a feeling all the time that "I ought to be writing" regardless of what I was doing "I ought to be writing." You know? It had finally seeped in to a point where I knew I ought to be writing. And the more I got that the less I wrote. Do you see that? And after a while when I didn't give a darn whether I wrote or not and I had no compulsion to do so I was doing much, much better, speed was up, lots of things came up.

Actually, that's perfectly all right. But it is an odd thing that all loyalty oaths to date have said "to support the constitution" but not "to support the government." Did you know that? They all say "support the constitution." But a psychologist ought to support the Constitution of the government of the United States. Now, these two words combined are quite interesting. Supposing the government of the United States departed from the Constitution? Then it's not the government of the United States. Okay.

Fortunately man is better off sane than crazy. I know that sounds like a remarkably sort of stupid remark, but it would sound like an incorrect one "if neurosis makes us do all the good things." You see if it was right to be neurotic, then of course it's righter to be psychotic, isn't it? So obviously the more insane a person is the more benefit he is to the society if you follow out this same line of logic. That doesn't sound right to you, does it?

"Two: To refuse to practice brainwashing upon American citizens."

Well, believe me it would sound right to the old schools of psychology, it sounds right to the psychoanalyst. "Be glad you're neurotic." "All artists write to sublimate their deadlier passions."

I can just see some Congressman picking this loyalty oath up, you see and going "Dirk!" It never occurred to him that he has several thousand people in the country who are dedicated to brainwashing, trained in it carefully.

& Well what do we mean by these things? We mean the fellow is doing things he doesn't know he's doing. And if a fellow's doing things he doesn't know he's doing, he becomes the unknowing and unwilling effect of what he's doing. Do you see that? He becomes the effect of his own cause and doesn't even know it. And when a fellow has a mental image picture bank and a reactive mind, and all these stimulus response mechanisms going on, and doesn't know that he is putting them there, he of course is the victim of himself. And then he compounds the felony by blaming everybody else. He blames everybody for what he's doing. But he's still putting the pictures there. Sure, maybe they put content into the pictures, but he's still putting the pictures there. Fascinating, fascinating thing here. To catch a thetan off guard to this extent.

"Three: To actively prevent the teaching of only foreign psychology in public schools and universities."

& We used to think there were G.E. facsimiles. There aren't. This is quite remarkable. We used to think there were whole track facsimiles that maybe got put up there by the cells. There aren't. This is pretty fabulous when you get right down to it. The person who puts them there is the thetan.

Well, it's true, that's all that is taught. There are a lot of psychologies; we're not being a specialist in this line. We don't say they ought to teach Dianetics and Scientology. As a matter of fact, we probably wouldn't let them muck it up. But by golly, there's a lot of good psychologies back along the line. There's the psychology of William James, there is the educational psychology of Dewey. What's the matter with these things? Why don't they study them? Why do they have to bow down to this character Pavlov?

& There are very few people in this room are aware of this fact at this moment, subjectively, but I think you could agree with it intellectually, but it may sound like I am accusing you of something. I am not at all. I am simply talking technically. I'm not accusing you of a thing. It's just a technical statement. A statement which, by the way, we have to accept if we're going to remedy it.

Pavlov was probably very good for dogs. But Americans weren't the last time I looked. Furthermore, the jerk wasn't even right. I shouldn't disgrace Mr. Pavlov with that. But he is another amoral scientist. Stalin said, "Pavlov, come down here to the Kremlin, we have a little room for you. Now, you sit down there and write everything you know about dogs that you think would apply to human beings." So he did. He wrote this big manuscript about 400 pages. And they kept it in the Kremlin and about two or three years later, remember all the confessions that came forth? Well, that was Pavlov's work. And anybody that says that this boy didn't have a political pitch is goofy.

& Now you start processing quantitatively you get in trouble, because it's the fact that he is making it that is your target, not the amount he makes. You get the difference? Look, after a thetan has been around, after a being has been around in this universe as long as he has been around, he gets an awful lot of experiences. And he can make any and all of them. He can mock them all up, to be technical. He can make pictures of them, and with great accuracy. So he thinks that the pictures are a thing. And he thinks he files them someplace, and after a while he finds that it's difficult for him to get rid of his pictures. Now just a minute. He couldn't possibly get rid of a picture he continued to create. So all you have to do is give him the control of his creation of the stimulus response mechanisms of the mind, the pictures in other words, to give him the total control of his mind. It's elementary, my dear Watson. Why didn't we know this years ago? What grief it would have saved so many of us, if some of us had known this years and years ago. What grief it would have saved man if he had known this two or three thousand years ago. What grief it would have saved all of you if you hadn't forgotten it seventy-three trillion years ago!

Oh, yeah, maybe he just felt overwhelmed by it all. Well, let me clue you, I haven't felt overwhelmed by it all. I just didn't wear out my elbow saluting at all when the ONR told me to come down there and research to make people more suggestible. And they said if I didn't do it, why they'd call me back to active duty.

& So here we go all the way along the time track up 'til now, and all of a sudden why, this datum suddenly falls out of the hopper, and we discover ourselves exposed. Now this is the least acceptable datum there is to a human being. The least acceptable there is. There is no less acceptable datum than that he is the cause of all of his own misfortunes. Because everybody has told him this from the last grave to present time. You are the author of your own misfortune. Well you see, that doesn't totally follow. If everybody else has got a bank that he is creating, and you've got a bank that you're creating, the interlocking reactions that you will get means that you can live in an aberrated society. And I am not now saying that you are responsible for the whole society and its craziness. You understand? I'm merely saying that you could have better control of your reaction to the society around you. You get the slight difference here? Nobody's accusing you of being responsible for everything that's ever happened. It just says you could have better control of it. Got the idea? And it says the place it starts is your own mind. Got it?

And they told me that on Monday and by Thursday I had effected a resignation from the United States Navy. And when they came back on Thursday and said, "Well, you are in for it now!" I said, "Brother, mitt me, I'm a civilian."

Therefore this whole of Creating Processing on page 24 of Scientology Clear Procedure, Issue One is devoted to the exact technical steps that should be taken by the auditor after he has a preclear in session in pretty good shape, has him able to control facsimiles and obey the auditor's commands. When he's got him up to that state he can run this step. He can't run this step unless he has got the thing under control. Do you see that? Control is a necessary part of all of this.

Just because you know something, you don't have to be a rat!

Therefore, we have here the first step on this in some cases is conquering black field and invisible field. Well, now, in the 19th ACC (Instructors take note) we're going to divide the unit up into three broad groups. One, with good mental pictures easily attained, mental pictures questionably attained and "What pictures?" Three groups. Got that? So that we don't get co-auditing between somebody with brilliant pictures and somebody with an invisible field because the fellow with the invisible field will not be able to believe that the other fellow has pictures, and the fellow with pictures won't be able to believe that the other fellow has an invisible field. There's a -...

Now, therefore we get to this one:

Now a fellow who is auditing somebody with questionable or misbehaving pictures of course will understand this if his own pictures are questionable and misbehaving.

"To use my knowledge and skill only to the benefit of US individuals and groups."

Now, when we have an invisible field or a black field it is necessary to remedy that thing before you go on to the rest of it. Now, one of these days I will probably discover some even more positive method of doing this but the method we have right now is positive enough and that method is as follows: You mock up what the field is and push it into the body until the field clears. You got that? It's a very elementary step.

I can just see some of these boys down in ONR when this thing is shoved under their nose and they are told to sign and they are working totally upon how to make people more suggestible and cave them in. They won't be able to sign it. Too bad.

A person has a black field, it's all black, if he will just mock up blacknesses, you have him "Mock up blacknesses and shove them into the body, mock up blacknesses and shove them into the body, mock up blacknesses and shove them into the body," he will then have a cleared field, in that he'll be able to get a picture.

"Five: To engage in no conspiracy to commit or treat persons for purely self-interested or political reasons."

Now the first things he does with a picture after you've cleaned up a black field is usually very amusing in this day and age. He dramatizes motion picture screens and television sets, and puts the picture against something so that he can get the picture against blackness. You got this? He can get the picture against blackness as long as he has the blackness.

"Six: To refuse to protect criminals by supporting questionable pleas of insanity at trials."

But if you ask him this one question this rather changes the whole thing. "What is the blackness?" And he will find out that he's mocking up pictures against the underside of his eyelids.

"Seven: To discourage all violence against the mentally ill."

He can just as easily, if you take him up a gradient scale in size – they're little tiny pictures, they are just microscopic pictures mocked up against the backside of his eyelids. And if you ask him to get them bigger and bigger in size, you can get them against a book held here or against a door or a wall, and he can get pictures. But what's he dramatizing? He's dramatizing projection.

"Eight: To refuse to use, advocate or experiment with methods of quote-therapy-unquote, upon patients which might bring about incapacitating physical injury to the patient's brain tissue or body."

See, pictures aren't given by projection, but you can get him over this. As soon as you get him to remedy havingness to a point of where he's got a cleared field then, it is necessary for you to coach him on a gradient scale, until he can mock up a picture, any kind of a picture, and you have him mock that picture up. And when he is pretty good at just that, just mocking it up, you remedy his havingness with it.

"Nine: (And here we shoot straight at organizations raised up to support only foreign psychology.) To refuse to contribute money, dues or my services to organizations which knowingly impede American scientific research programs, or which work to discredit American psychologists to the public." And over that will float a little marker marked "APA." Because they do contribute money to impede American scientific research if they contributed a dime to getting us slambasted anywhere at any time.

Which is to say you have him "Mock up the picture and push it into the body. And mock up the picture and throw it away." Well, the steps that you have to go to to get him to throw it away, and some of the cleverness that you have to assume in order to do this is often quite amusing; right there it requires some inventiveness.

"Ten: To refute propaganda to the effects that the study of psychology is hopeless, that IQ cannot be improved and that personality cannot be changed."

How do you get somebody to throw away a picture? Oh, ha – that's pretty wild on some cases. Most of you wouldn't believe it, but they can't do it.

"Eleven: To refuse to accept for counseling or psychological assistance, and to refuse to accept money from any patient or group I feel I cannot honestly help and to offer no solution or cure I cannot accomplish."

I had one case mock up an elephant and have the elephant walk out the door. It was perfectly all right.

"Twelve: To refuse to advertise beyond the display of my professional card."

But the person has got to be able to pull in a picture and throw a picture away in order to have any control of a picture at all.

"Thirteen: To render good treatment, sound training and good discipline to those students or people entrusted to my care."

Now, if a person mocks up one picture and then he can't throw that picture away, have him mock up another picture, a duplicate of it, and a duplicate, and a duplicate and a duplicate, and finally after he's done it five or six times, he can throw the fifth or sixth one away. And then if he mocks up two or three more he can throw the eighth one away. Do you get the idea? And eventually he will be able to mock up a picture and throw it away; mock up a picture and put it in.

"Fourteen: To engage in no unseemly disputes with the uninformed on the subject of my profession."

When he gets into that state only then are you in the running. Now you have begun; you have got his field clear and you have some control over these pictures so they don't go into vast automaticities. Do you see that?

"Fifteen: To refuse to interfere with the lives of my patients beyond actual treatment."

Now, supposing the black field was more resistive than any I have ever encountered? Ever since 1950 I've been totally prepared to have something like that happen – that cases come up in your view that don't come up in mine. That cases occur which are different or vary in some respect.

And this to a Scientologist here has got a real curve in it. This, sixteen – all of the psychologists and psychiatrists maintain that they support two or three of these clauses, but they don't, nobody has ever made them sign on the dotted line to do so. This one is one of them: "To refer to competent medical treatment ills which demand medical attention."

Now, I haven't seen a new type of case that we didn't know about for many years. But I would just as soon one came up that wouldn't solve on this black – "Mock up a black object in the blackness and shove it into your body." Supposing it didn't solve on that? I actually would go out and get a piece of – a couple of pieces of coal or something like that and I'd simply have the person "Keep that piece of coal from going away" with his hands over here and then got the black field until it was less resistive because of this hand drill, and then I would have him "Mock up blackness and shove it into the body." You get the idea?

We're not sure that any do. Liberal interpretation – that's open to.

In other words, I'd undercut it with a material object. Similarly with invisible objects, if the invisible field didn't clear up rather rapidly this way, then I would get a couple of pieces of glass, or several pieces of glass and have the person keep these pieces of glass from going away, and have him run drills with these objects until at last the invisible field could surrender to a point where he could "Mock up invisibilities and shove them into the body; invisibilities and throw them away." I would get him to do that. And I'd be very sure that this took place before I went any further with the person's processing. Do you understand that?

"Seventeen: (And just to agree with them) to hold in confidence the secrets of my patients."

All right, now what would be the next step? Well, the next step is a very cute one. This whole thing is faster with an E-Meter. I actually am trying to get some E-Meters manufactured that would sell for – good ones, transistor meters that would sell for maybe $62.50 less discount – less member discount. Transistor meters that would work out.

And, eighteen is the deadly one: "To accept as fellow psychologists only psychologists adhering to this code and to speak no word of criticism in public of them."

Not because you don't have meters available here and there but because there is certainly new Scientologists coming up and they'll need them.

Well, that's more than a piece of paper. This organization, the National Academy of American Psychology has this program: To place under the noses of every person in mental practice in the United States whether graduated from universities or anything else, a copy of this code and ask them to sign on the dotted line, whether it is done by mail or in person, and to carefully note down all those who refuse to sign it. Very important that last step.

It isn't absolutely necessary to run this stuff against a meter, but a meter can make it faster, you can run faster so that you never do the step unnecessarily. When it's flat, it's flat; the meter is no longer reacting. You just flatten the reaction on the meter on each one of these steps. All right.

Since a police officer, or a legislator would be unable to conceive of why they couldn't sign it. And to this degree the only credit I take unto myself in the writing of this code is I consider it as a masterpiece just to this degree, that a fellow who means ill wouldn't dare sign it, but a police officer hearing that he couldn't and reading it, would not be able to figure out why. Do you get it? In other words, this blows into view the fact that there are tremendous numbers of people in mental practice who would not adhere to this code even vaguely, many parts of it.

Let's say that you've cleared up his invisible field or cleared up his black field. And you've done it with pieces of coal or mock-ups as I have described. What's your next step? Nah, nothing could be more simple, my dear Watson.

But when they rush into legislators and say, "We've got to legislate out of existence all these psycho-quacks!" And when they rush into the police and say, "We got to arrest all those bad people over there because they're unethical." They are talking from a point we used to call a hidden standard.

You find six nonsignificant things which graduate in size and mass here, see? Get the idea? Six of them. Now, that could go from an apple, to a building, to a planet, to a sun, to a black sun, to a universe or something like that on an extremity. You get the idea?

Your mother used to say to you, "You could be a much better girl." Your father used to say to you, "You should be a better boy." Your teacher used to say to you, "Why aren't you a better student?"

Or it could come something like a particle or maybe a grain of rice or something, or a particle, tiny particle up to a walnut or something like this, up to let us say a nonsignificant object, up to a jar of some sort you know, up to a chair, up to a house, up to a building; they've got to be a gradient scale of size, don't you see? And they mustn't be significant.

Well, look, what was "a better student?" What was "a good girl?" What was a "good boy?" If you ask any kid to define these things, they will think it over for a while and finally come up with a startling answer, "that a good boy never moves and is dead."

In other words, as you call them off and try to arrange them with a preclear, an E-Meter is invaluable here, because an E-Meter will kick every time you get a significant object, and you come off of it quick. You want six of them – you spend time picking them out. The time you spend picking them out and making sure that they are not significant or upsetting to the preclear in anyway will pay you a thousand times over in getting the processing on the road. You got the idea?

These people have been rushing around passing legislative bills and beating the drum and getting articles in magazines from a hidden standard; they act as though they had a standard! They act as though they are decent people and that all other people are bad and therefore should be punished, so we are turning around and saying, "Look, prove that you are decent people before you talk." And that's what that's for.

So you got six items now. Regardless of what they were the fellow has some confidence in being able to mock these things up and they don't knock his head off because he does. All right.

Now, if we are industrious about this, we can do totally a clerical job. This is only a clerical job; it is no more important than that. Those people who contribute their time to it will simply contribute their time clerically, that's all; I mean it's just a – it's just a routine action. This thing is really grooved.

We have him take this first one; we have him "Mock it up and keep it from going away." We have him "Mock it up and keep it from going away." We have him "Mock it up and keep it from going away." "Did you?" we ask. "Good." "Mock it up...," whatever it was, "Mock up the grain of rice and keep it from going away. Did you do that? Thank you. Mock up the grain of rice and keep it from going away. Did you do that? Thank you." And when we have no further kick on the meter or no reaction in the preclear of any kind because of doing this one little first thing, we graduate to the next nonsignificant object on our list, and we do the same thing.

This folder you have here requires no letter of explanation beyond the letter of explanation inside its first page. It merely says what the NAAP is; it says what its purpose is and it asks the fellow to, on this side, sign this loyalty oath of mental practice, and on this side asks him to fill this in for application for membership. Membership doesn't cost him anything.

And let us say that this was a walnut. And we say, "All right." We bridge it very nicely, and then we say, "Mock up a walnut and keep it from going away. Did you?" "Yes." "All right." We flatten that.

The only thing a membership says in it is that he's supposed to follow that loyalty oath, that's all, it's the only thing required of him.

Now, it may take you anywhere from five minutes to five hours to flatten it, and you'll find oddly enough that they vary. You may flatten three of these objects in ten minutes apiece and then spend three and a half hours on the next one. Get the idea? It's not a certain length of time then; it's "Mocking it up and keeping it from going away" until it is fiat. In other words there is no further reaction or restimulation or upset or comm lag in the preclear. You can always tell these things also by comm lags.

The organization does sell this factor; it does sell this service that it will validate qualifications. The NAAP will actually issue a certificate saying to wit, "That the National Academy of American Psychology, chartered in the District of Columbia has subscribed that so-and-so has subscribed to the policies of the NAAP and has sworn to the loyalty oath of mental practice, and that a thorough investigation, examination of his qualifications demonstrates him to be skilled in, in this particular case Scientology, which has nothing to do with psychology." In other words it validates his qualifications.

And we don't care whether this fellow is getting any cognitions or not, not at this stage of the game.

Now, why do we do that? Well, it's like this, we're going to make a charge for that service, but here is what happens to that money. Out of the goodness of our hearts or desire to get the show on the road, we'll pay the cost and the toll out of our own pockets to put that loyalty oath under the hands of all the psychologists in any area, as by the way – find – and psychiatrists – as discoverable in the telephone book Yellow Pages. See in any given area you just look up in the telephone book Yellow Pages, and you look 'em up and send one to each one. Wait a certain period of time, find out those you don't hear from. Call them up and say, "What's the matter?" The – a lot of them will sign. But those who refuse to, hah, we want the fact that they refused, and if that person is in an important position, such as head of the local society – one Scientologist accompanied by another one can walk in with the loyalty oath and say, "Here's this loyalty oath, and you didn't sign it and send it back to us in the mails. Don't you want to sign it?" And the fellow will say, "No! I refuse to have anything to do with it!!" And you say, "That's fine, that's fine. You refuse to sign it, is that correct?" It is all they do, see? Nice and pleasant. And the fellow says, "That's right! Bong! Bong!" Two witnesses, they take the oath, they fill the guy's name in here "I (whatever the fellow's name was)" and over here say, "refuse to sign, (such-and-such a date) in the presence of...” – and sign the two witnesses. And we here in Washington will compile the ledger sheet of these and when we are all through, and this is all done, and if we are a little bit industrious, it will only take a few months.

Now, we bridge it up here to the next object and we have him "Mock that up and keep it from going away" until that's flat. Then we bridge into the next higher object, "Mock it up and keep it from going away" until it's flat. Next object bigger, "Mock it up and keep it from going away" until that's flat, and now the final object "Mock it up and keep it from going away" until that's flat. You got that? See? And then we just run that whole thing, each one flat.

Now, this particular trick particularly applies to those psychologists who will be chosen on the Board of Examiners of the California Board as recently formed by Public Bill 2712, California Legislature, or 3712. They recently passed a bill saying only psychologists could practice psychology. Good! "Psyche" means spirit! So a fellow who isn't working in the field of the spirit isn't a psychologist.

Now, we take the same objects and run "Hold it still." And we run that in this fashion, "Mock up a grain of rice and hold it still." "Did you? Thank you." "Mock up a grain of rice and hold it still. Did you? Thank you." Got that? Simple.

But what we want to have happen to those examiners is that a couple of Scientologists walk in to the office of each one of 'em when they are chosen and have them refuse to sign that, and then inform the governor and the legislature that they have chosen people who are disloyal to the United States to serve on that bill! And keep doing this until we get some psychologists that are favorable.

Now, when that is flat he may have some difficulty; but the difficulty damps out and he gets better and better at it.

This thing's got teeth in it, because these people have an awful time trying to explain why they are attacking American psychology. There is such a thing as American psychology; its right name is Dianetics.

By the way, we've never asked him "Did you mock that up? Are you sure that you mocked that up?" See, we don't do that to him.

But when these fellows lift their heads and say, "Admiral of the National Academy of American Psychology, they're no good – they're – they're no good. They're no good – they're no – well wait a – they're – boom." I'm afraid we have a muzzler. I'm afraid they'll have to keep their mouths shut. Oh, they won't; they won't, there'll be some screaming about it, but I don't think there's any personal danger in it at all, I think there's mild routine clerical action. And this organization being a national organization simply undertook the job of ascertaining the loyalty of various psychologists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts in the United States and validated their qualifications, said whether their qualifications were real or not, that's all the organization did. You see? And here's the list of the fellows that signed and here's the list of the fellows that didn't sign. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to deport these fellows that didn't sign. I ...

Why? Not at this stage of the game. It's a triumph for him just to have it appear from somewhere. Don't rattle him. This all goes on a gradient. You're asking him to discover at once what he'll discover sooner or later for himself.

But I think that we can use this factor of loyalty and all of that sort of thing to clean up the field. It happens to mesh. It happens to make good sense and it happens to be doable, and the forces of law and order, I think, will find it impossible to understand why somebody wouldn't sign that oath of mental practice. It's totally reasonable to a law enforcement officer.

So we come up the line. "Mock up a walnut. Hold it still. Did you? Thank you." All right.

Whereas you and I know positively something else. We know these people even though they are good Americans have been schooled totally in some university that taught them "that IQ couldn't change." That taught them, "that personality could not be altered." That taught them that "brainwashing was the very thing to do." That taught them the work of Pavlov, the work of Wundt, had never been surpassed in any way, and taught them above and beyond that contempt for anyone and everyone working newly in American research. The country could lose its next war because it has a disloyal, uninformed profession called psychology in its midst. You don't think the Russians exported it, do you?

And then we get that flat and we come up here to the next object. "Mock up the next object. Hold it still. Did you? Thank you." Got the idea? Till we get all six of these objects flat. He can mock each one of them up and hold it still. Nothing to it.

They didn't even export brainwashing as far as Korea. The boys that were doing brainwashing in Korea were not experts; there're probably far more expert brainwashers around the Kremlin, they got much better results; they get about a 100 percent nervous breakdown and total confession on the part of everybody they treat. But I don't think that's good for a man. To have loose upon him the only quote – mental practice as something that can drive him into a nervous breakdown or wreck him.

All right, now we've got that flat, we bridge over to the next one which is "Make it a little more solid." And we have him "Mock up the grain of rice and make it a little more solid. Did you? Thank you. Mock up the grain of rice and make it a little more solid. Did you? Thank you." All right, here we go then. Right on up the line, each one of these six objects we flatten in turn until he can make all of them solid.

Did you ever run into a psychoanalytical patient who wasn't being careful! And if he was – if he went on being careful for years, he might be all right. Have you ever run into these people? And so on. It's not good for people. We don't care whether it's good for them or bad for them. They can go right on teaching all about it and go right on teaching it as long as they don't try to use it on us and make us believe that it is an exclusive thing and that they have a total monopoly on study, research and practice in the field of the human mind and spirit, when they don't even practice in that field.

Now, you say we're all set. Now, we've gone somewhere. Yes sir, this is where we have gone. It's a very, very difficult process. You get six more objects not necessarily bigger or different, but just six more objects that are apparently relatively nonsignificant, and you have him "Keep the first one from going away" until that's flat. And the next one "from going away" until that's flat, and the next one "from going away" till that's flat. And the next one "from going away," get the idea? Six new objects.

Now this does not make or put Scientology underneath psychology. It does not do that. It is simply an effort to clean up the field from one end to the other; that's all.

And then – and then when we have finally gotten that done, we have him "Hold each one still" until he can do it. And then we have him "Make it more solid" same way we did the first time, don't you see, but with six new objects. And when we got that all flat, we dream up six new objects! And by this time, we don't care whether they are significant or not.

We want them to sign the mental oath and then we want them to get their qualifications validated.

We could have him mock up mothers, or cats or kangaroos; it wouldn't matter whether they banged on the needle or not, because his confidence is sufficient now that he could ladle in to a bit of the reactive kick that he's going to get in the bank.

Now, why do we want this certificate? Why do we want this certificate? Well, we have another problem. We've had universities for decades issuing degrees in philosophy with a psychology major which taught in the main only Russian-European works, so that these degrees are kicking around as the only recognized degrees in the subject. But the fellow who holds them can't do anything. Sooner or later the whole field is going to collapse unless somebody takes a bolster in it and we have a vested interest in keeping the public credence alive.

So we choose these next ones rather carelessly. We've been so far successful and we have another set of six. We don't get them because they are significant, don't read that, we just – don't care whether they are or not. And we have – we get these from the preclear, we don't dream them up as much as we ask the preclear for them, but we are liable to change them.

Therefore if we issue these validation of qualifications, you understand this is not – this is not a certificate guaranteeing anything but the fact that the guy is qualified. Do you understand that? We validate his existing credentials. Do you see that? This is not credentials; this merely validates his existing credentials.

You say, "What's a small object you think you could mock up?" "Oh," he says, "I think I could mock up a needle" and the thing goes wham! and drops five dials, and you say, "Well, that's fine. How about a pin?" "Well," he says "a pin's all right," and there is nothing happens with a pin, and you say, "All right, we will take the first one for a pin." You get the way you decide these things?

We will take all of the money collected for this certificate; it will cost a Scientologist about 25 dollars; it will cost a psychologist, when you finally get around to reaching him with it, about $80. You will, you'll have to examine him. He says he's an expert in yoga, all right he is an expert in yoga, you go, "Fine," crack a book on yoga and see if he knows his business. If he doesn't know his business in yogi, flunk him.

All right, so we have these but-we-this next time as we go up the line, we don't care whether they're significant or not, and we suddenly select out all of these objects one after the other, and we just run the same scale, "Keep it from going away." "Hold it still." And "make it a little more solid." See? We don't run all three on the same object; we run the object flat, the next object flat, and all the whole series flat on "Keep it from going away," then we graduate the whole series to "Hold it still." Then we graduate the whole series to "Make it a little more solid."

We're being reasonable! But we'll take all of that money, and with money maybe from another source, and we will publish in such publications as The Saturday Evening Post, Time magazine and all the rest of them a picture of this certificate, saying, "Be sure that your mental practitioner has one."

All right. If that is the case, where does this finally wind up and what new startling thing do we do? Nothin'. Nothin'. Because those steps all by themselves will finally wind up making a Clear. There isn't anything more you have to do.

Now "live and let live" is a very fine philosophy; there's nothing wrong with live and let live as a philosophy until you try to apply it to a mad dog. And you pat the mad dog on the head and say, "Well, you can go on living" and he bites your hand off. Right? So there is a point where live and let live can't go forward. But there is a also a point where reasonability enters and punishment or duress begins.

Now, one of these fine days I may get smarter or you may get smart and we might dream up a little shorter cut or something we say after that has to be done. Or we decide we had better clean up the dynamics. But wait a minute, you're working on OT! Got it? And I'm not describing to you the techniques for Operating Thetan, I'm describing to you the techniques for a Clear.

We cannot afford to take somebody who is perfectly willing to go along with this program and clean up psychology and just because he doesn't believe in us, or our school, knock his head off. Do you get the idea? This is not a promotion of Scientology – it's not a promotion of Dianetics – it's trying to keep these boys from muddying up the field and stopping us from getting a show on the road. And we are perfectly willing from where I sit that anybody practice anything he cares to practice as long as he practices it within the framework of that mental oath. Because we don't want people practicing who kill people. We don't want people practicing who rob families of their last penny and then throw the guy into the local state institution. We don't want people in practice that evaluate-evaluate- evaluate and mess up cases.

Now, you got that pretty well? Seems pretty simple doesn't it?

One thing, we're trying to get a show on the road. Every now and then these people circulate around into our hands. Every now and then we get an ex-electric shock case, unbeknownst to us, we suddenly have in the organization an electric shock case. We didn't take this person aboard to a – as a psychotic. We took this person to improve his capabilities and to make him a little more able to live, and all of a sudden we are having to undo for almost the totality of the intensive, the quote-treatment-unquote, the actual brutality rendered by some psychiatrist that didn't even know the difference.

Well, I'll recommend an E-Meter to you, and you can build them or beg them or borrow 'em or steal 'em or not use them or anything else. We don't care, the only reason the organization would fool around with E-Meters is just if there is a demand. Somebody shouldn't be left without a meter. We wouldn't try to make any money off of one. The main thing of it is, is they just – if they're in demand – they should be in supply. We are not trying to go into business. The – we've already had trouble with somebody commercializing E-Meters; we had a pretty good meter. It was the HIR-52, that was a good meter, and it's quite reliable. It had a range expander; you didn't find cases that were off the bottom, or too many cases didn't go off the top.

I knew of a girl one time went into a psychiatric office, I think to deliver a letter, and they set her down in the chair and gave her an electric shock. They thought she was a patient.

But we did find this: we found that the manufacturer of that meter got more and more complicated and added more and more dials, and more and more things, and there were less and less constants and finally auditors couldn't use them at all and it all but destroyed the idea of E-Meters.

There is one that I didn't put in there, which would have been very, very interesting to do so. There's one I didn't put in there. "That a practitioner must be willing to receive the treatment he administers."

What is an E-Meter after all? It's to register the reaction existing in a preclear. We don't even care how it registers it, or what theory we go by in registering it. All it does is register it. It tells you something is happening in this person's bank. In other words, it tells you about energy displacements.

Male voice: Put it in there Ron.

And there're three reactions that an E-Meter gets or that we consider common. And these three reactions are very – they're nothing very important. There may be other reactions than this. But the main ones I can tell you.

I suppose it ought to be in there.

One, a stuck needle, that is one of the more – one of the better tests. Or a theta bop – what we call a theta bop – it's a little hunt, that is always an exteriorization or a death registering. That's just without – there's no exception – it's the only thing that explains it or clears it. See?

Audience voices: Yes.

And the other one is a surge, it drops, the meter drops, it falls part of a dial. And that is the one that most auditors think is the only one there. You see? They think that's the only one present, this surge. Actually, there is a stuck needle that tells you even more than a surge if anything. The needle just goes whap! And you say, "Kings, cats, coal heavers, your mother-in-law, are you telling a lie?" or anything else? You got your needle frozen, it isn't going anyplace. Well, you must have frozen it with a question. If you don't know that that stuck needle is significant, or that you can tell something from a stuck needle, you are liable not to pay attention the first time it sticks, and that's the one you want, because you are liable to have to go back and hunt for it all over again. Only the needle now isn't telling you anything.

Well, if you say so – why then we'll republish it on a later edition and include that one in.

Those three main reactions. But I'll tell you the virtue of an E-Meter. Now, a lot of people say, "I don't know why you use an E-Meter because it invalidates the auditor, invalidates the preclear and so forth." No, on Creative Processing or present time problem when you are running by mock-up, there is something here which is rather poor. And that is that an individual, an individual here doesn't see ordinarily the preclear's mock-ups. And he feels like he's sitting there doing nothing; there's nothing for the auditor to look at. Don't you see? The auditor is not facing up to any mass, so he doesn't see what is going on, and he begins to feel a little bit lost as though he's reaching into nothingness. Do you get the idea?

Okay.

Well, if you can translate that onto a meter dial and keep your eye on a meter dial, you are looking at the mock-ups. Do you get the idea? So the meter simply translates the mock-ups into a physical reaction. Do you see that? And actually an auditor is sometimes much more willing to run Creative Processing if he has a meter to look at.

Now, this is no effort to get people in Scientology to sign an oath of allegiance to the United States or anything of the sort. It would be a good thing, however, if it were signed by people in Scientology, because therefore they weren't – that would have been processed. If for any reason one doesn't want to sign an oath of allegiance to the United States that's perfectly all right. Nobody is forcing anybody to sign this. We would not even take note of it in Scientology if one did not want to sign it. I'm making that very clear because these things can become ways and means of duress and so on which they shouldn't.

In the 19th, we are going to use meters as they are available, we hope to do all auditing on meters, just because most of the auditing will be Creative Processes. Now, the goal of this particular thing is of course to get the individual up to a point where he recognizes subjectively and with good reality that he's putting up all these pictures himself.

But I'll tell you this: The exact program which we have laid down here at this moment is this. I think there is in existence in the back of the hall a membership card for each and every one of you in the NAAP already typed and signed. Is that correct?

Well, this one cognition isn't enough. See, that's – that's not enough. You have got to give him practice in doing it, and after a while he will become totally cognizant that he never does anything else. That's the cognition that you want. That's every – all the pictures. That's pictures.

Dr. Elliott has them and there's a card. The card doesn't cost you anything at all and all you have to do, and this sounds like it's a pitch of some sort or another, but it isn't, all you have to do is sign your name on it and have the next two guys in line sign as witnesses real quick as a bunny and hand this in which is an application for membership, don't you see, sign your name on this and your signature at the bottom, hand it in and they'll hand you your membership card. It's as easy as that. We are bribing you to come to this congress, see. If you want one of those cards it's yours. You don't have to have one, but if you want one it is yours and your name's already typed up back there and you are a member of this organization.

Now, it may be necessary for you somewhere along the line to run some havingness or invent some problems, or to do something like that. The fellow starts falling downstairs or something in order to have a new game. Well, that's for you to recognize when it occurs, but so far it has not occurred doing this particular step. So there must be more value to mocking this sort of thing up and doing this particular step than immediately appears.

Well, what is a member of this organization? It is simply a person who has subscribed to the policies and has sworn the mental oath in the field of psychology; that's all. It does not make him a psychologist. Got that? So that's all yours from me to you.

The final result of this is the destruction of the bank. Now, the ability to create a bank and the ability to mock things up was recognized years ago, but I had not gotten together the exact progressive steps necessary to accomplish this particular result in all preclears. And this apparently is the road that does that.

Now, if you also want to pick up one of these things and you are qualified to Scientology, you can at once, for this excellent reason, that we have all of your qualifications here; those of you who are qualified in Scientology, we know it, we have records on the subject, and you can pick those up at once.

Now, the use of this particular step should not be adventured upon without running the earlier steps – that's why they are there and that's why Creative Processing flops is because it is attempted without flattening any of the earlier steps.

I am not stressing that – you don't have to pick one of these up at all, ever. But I'm just telling you that it is available for you. Because we want you, to hand these out across America. Got that?

Well what are some of these early steps?

Well, I take it that you find some favor in this program. Huh? Good.

Well, one of them here is you have got to keep the pc participating in session – he has to continue to participate – he has to go on believing as I told you an earlier day in this congress, he has to go on believing in your ability to help him, and his belief in his ability to help somebody.

I take it that there is then some willingness to participate in this program.

And when help falls out the window, participation goes and not only that, ARC drops by the boards. ARC therefore has to be maintained during a session – anytime that drops out this won't work. The process won't work! It's the auditor doing it, it's just the things the auditor does and also how he does them that brings about this state. You got that? All right.

All right, then do I take it that you have volunteered to participate to some degree in this program?

We look over here and we find the second step. We have to place the preclear at cause. Well, we can't totally take a preclear who is totally at effect with regard to the physical universe and expect him to wind up miraculously at cause because we've simply run some Creative Processing. Don't you see? If he can never be cause of anything anywhere at any time, he's not going to come up on top with this step alone. Don't you see? He has to be prepared for that step and that's covered in Chapter IV.

Audience voices: Yeah, yes.

Then in Chapter V, "Establish the Control of Pc's Body by Pc," is old SCS, and we have a full book back there that Johann just edited off some tapes and we got published for you just so you'd have these mechanics in even a fuller state than they are in this Clear Procedure.

Okay, here's a map of the United States, we've already assigned the areas to the various people.

Now, we get over here to Step IV, we of course – it would be a good thing for him to know who was auditing him, because if he gets involved and subjective with his Creative Processing, he's liable to think his mother's there or something to kick your shins in and we shouldn't have that happen.

Now, you don't have to have those districts; it was just made sure that somebody in the congress was covering each part of the United States so we'd have it covered, but for heaven sakes take it up if you don't want this, and you want to pass it along, or if you want to deputize somebody and hold onto your appointment, because it's yours otherwise.

Now, we have this next step, and we have the preclear versus MEST. To give him some idea of being cause over MEST. And then we finally only then get to Creative Processing.

Now, what is a person expected to do if he was so appointed. You don't have to have this. Those are conditional appointments.

Now, whether we do Step VII or Step VIII is totally beside the point; it has nothing to do with a Clear, because we are already moving with those steps into the field of Operating Thetan.

What are you expected to do? Actually expected to simply mail (this is one of the easiest things you ever heard of) you're simply expected to mail one of these (you will have to pick up a number of folders for your area) one of these – National Academy of American Psychology – and all you are is a District Director, and you have to mail one of these to every name and address for a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or psychoanalyst in the area given. And you can get them out of yellow phone books and you can get them from other sources, but you simply send one of these to each one, and then note that you have sent them to each one.

It might interest you these days the way I'm auditing, my auditing styles normally don't shift around too much. The only time it shifted is when we got Comm Course and Upper Indoc and I got a lot of this myself and smoothed out some rough spots of just being able to duplicate and so forth to the preclear's viewpoint and benefit. The steps that we got there did help me; it was quite an interesting thing for me to dream up something and then drill on it and then – and then have something – have some improvement take place. I was quite amused by this.

They will send them back with an application of membership filled out and signed, or they won't return them at all. Now, at the moment they don't return them at all after a reasonable length of time, you call their attention to it again and get a refusal by mail if possible. You are after refusals. No further responsibility settles upon your back at all.

Ordinarily this sort of thing wouldn't occur, but it was fabulous. I found myself sitting there pitching in session. I told the auditors that I was going to give this thing a whirl; and I held myself in as thorough a discipline as I was teaching auditors, see, just thorough discipline, just iron-barred sort of auditing, you know. Getting the intention across, being very sure of the accuracy of every piece of the auditing and the step and so on. And boy, auditing speed, which has never been terribly slow with me, just speeded up just like this. You know? I mean, the results started to get across to the degree that I was running a discipline on it.

When that job is done, there is another job that you can do. And that is simply to offer these people a certificate of validation of qualifications. It costs money and they'd have to come in and examine it. A certain amount of that money would stay in your hands as having examined it. All the remainder of that money would be invested in advertising to say, "That your psychologist, psychiatrist or psychoanalyst should be a loyal American." Got it?

Well, since that time using an E-Meter, I've relaxed a little bit and haven't worried too much about – about a discipline, that's still there. But I have worried about this: the block on the dynamics.

That's all there is to the job; there's nothing else. It's just a job of dissemination. It's clerical just like I told you. See? There isn't any beating the drum or making any speeches or anything else. It's just mail them out, note when you don't get them back, check those that never replied and we will probably do the rest.

I conceive that in auditing a preclear it is necessary to get a preclear off some dispersal, so that he feels like he's going out of session, and wants to leave, and he thinks there are other things to be done. And I just sit down and improve his communication with me as one of the first things I do. And I do that by – I do – I do this with an E-Meter, by the way, just to save wear and tear and eyestrain on my thetan.

Sooner or later you will have to appoint a couple of people in your area to go and call on the ones who occupy high official posts to have them sign or refuse to sign before witnesses. You understand that? That is a special operation which comes at the tail end of this other operation.

I try to improve his ability to communicate by knocking out some comm blocks. Well, one of these comm blocks could be a present time problem, so I scout down a present time problem and I get rid of it by, "Inventing something worse than the problem." 'A problem of comparable magnitude to the problem." And, "What he could do to that particular thing in one way or another." And I really clean this thing up pretty good so it won't be driving him out of session.

And if you do this clerical operation in your immediate area or get this clerical operation done, do you know what we'll wind up with? We will wind up with the largest numerical strength organization in the field of psychology, and can thereafter talk with authority on the ethics of its practice and teachings in the United States.

Very often a preclear will sit there, you know, and say, "No, there is nothing worrying me." But if you had him on an E-Meter the needle would drop off the pin. This is why we started using E-Meters again. A whole intensive can be wasted if a preclear has a present time problem the auditor doesn't flatten. A whole intensive – it can just – there is no change on the APA at all.

And there would be an end to this shotgunning. Every time somebody desires to help his fellow human being, why we can end this idea that he should be shot down. That's a very totalitarian sort of an idea. You know? That you should be punished for wanting to help your fellow man. I think that's how they make slaves.

Now, we go back, clean up the present time problem, audit him for another week and get a terrific change. Audit him on the same processes that didn't work on him before. You got the idea?

Now, we are not actually fighting the APAs. You want to know what their position might be in relationship to this? American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association. If they were either of them American associations, they would have done this a long time ago. They were the people in charge and responsible for this. They did not do their job obviously because mental practice is in a muddy state in the United States.

These null changes after you've audited for a while are due to this PT problem, the present time problem. The preclear feels that he ought to be out of session, out somewhere doing something or other, or he ought to be running like the devil for Mexico or someplace and getting out of the road of the juggernauts of fate, and you insist on auditing him. See? And he doesn't improve at all. His mind isn't in his work at all, and certainly his mind isn't under your control. It's under control of this other factor. So to knock out this other factor as a control factor – you knock out the PT problem. You got it?

I do know, however, that they have called up before their ethics committee people who have dared to practice a subject not ratified by them! They have actually called up psychologists for trying to test or do something with Dianetics. So they are not representative of psychology in the United States! They are representative only of a certain school or a certain series of schools of psychology in the United States.

All right. Then I'd locate the comm block, a contrasurvival postulate is what I'm looking for and it's usually a communication postulate. And I trace this thing down – I don't care. You know there are a lot of people that would have you believe that because past lives aren't generally believed in, you should avoid them. Well, I tell you, I've tried to avoid them, but I have yet to find a comm block in the person's present life! Isn't this horrible? In other words, when I'm working them with an E-Meter, I have to clean them out of lord knows when. See? It's always way back down the track someplace.

If anything, they represent the "academic psychologist" – if they totally represent him. But if they had done this job, we would not be doing this job now! Do you see that? So therefore it's plain that they are not representative of psychology and psychiatry in the United States. Actually, their membership is in a minority. There are many, many people who are outside the field of their membership. This is quite interesting. I am not even condemning these organizations and not even trying to shoot them from guns, because Saturday morning a letter left the NAAP for the American Psychiatric Association and another letter left the NAAP for the American Psychological Association, headquarters of which are both – are in Washington, giving them a copy of this oath and asking them how many they needed to circulate their membership for us! Let me tell you a trick. You do not begin a pan-determined operation by counting a lot of people out. You understand that? So we have no intentions of kicking around or reviling either of these organizations, unless of course, they refuse and block to subscribe to any higher ethical levels, at which time it is my belief that they cease to be classified as scientists and must be classified only as subversives and butchers.

And I just say, "Well, what would be the penalty for talking or something of this sort?" I would try to run it down, or I sort out the dynamics.

But remember we are not going to call them subversives and butchers until they call them that, themselves – first. And I don't think it will ever come to this pass.

Now, you can use the direct formula of Operating Thetan, the preclear at cause – or thetan at cause, rather, over life, matter, energy, space and time. Willing and knowing cause.

This is what I hope to have happen, plotting the future course. I would consider it a disaster if the APAs each of them got a copy of this oath, looked it over and said, "Ha! Ha. Neah." and threw it in the wastebasket and said nothing.

So you ask him, "What he could do to God?" Just as an opening question. "What he could say to God?" would be a lighter version.

Or looked at this oath and said, "Rahh! Rowl! Under no circumstances will we have anything to do with this mental oath and put into our hands the evidence that we could not do otherwise with – than destroy them." It's highly possible that they may each of us – each of them write a letter saying they wish nothing whatsoever to do with a higher standard of practice. Because those who are trying to succumb usually do when you give them a chance.

And by the way, I want to straighten that out with you. You know I'm not – I'm not upset in any way about the eighth dynamic. I just maintain that people who can't get to the first don't know a thing about the eighth, it's my only contention. It's why I get sarcastic about it every once in a while. I get some – I get some guy that doesn't know his own life trying to tell me about God, I get very interested.

But I would consider either of those things a disaster, so mark me well. I expect them to write back and say, "This isn't too bad. Who the hell are you? If you care to make a few changes we could subscribe to this ourselves." Do you get the thing and argue around and go into communication about it until we got both of these organizations to force upon their membership something as good as this, and boy, would we have had it made. We'd have it made then, totally.

Anyway, I just peel off the dynamics right on down, no matter what the guise of the question is. I come right on down the dynamics: eight-seven-six-five-four-three-two. And I find those things where the preclear conceives himself to be a total effect on these dynamics, only I'm looking for a comm block; I'm looking for a communication block. I'm looking for a time when he considered he couldn't do anything to that dynamic. And when I find one of these I clean it up.

But these organizations have never been pan-determined. They have closed out of existence practically every fellow in the United States who wished to work in the field of counseling who did not have university training, of five or six years in the subject. Now, that isn't right, because it precludes [presumes] the fact that the universities are teaching how to counsel. See that? That's an unreasonable assumption.

With what?

If a university teaches nothing but Wundt and Pavlov and the parts of the brain, then it doesn't look to me that the university training would qualify one to practice in the field of the mind. Don't you see? But the legislators and other people are assuming that that is the case.

Well, if the case is in pretty good shape, I clean it up with two-way comm; if the case is only mediumly in good shape, I clean it up with some process more or less tailor-made to the occasion. You see?

So as a result you have probably two-thirds of those people interested in counseling and mental practice in the United States already excluded out of these two organizations: The American Psychiatric, the American Psychological, so it's no wonder the thing has gotten into bad shape, if there is no organization that is setting a standard of ethics for practice.

Somebody came in the other day with a bad stomach and I had them hit the stomach, you know, mentally, hit the stomach with a feather which caused great bruises. And we went up a gradient scale (I haven't even finished it yet) but went up a gradient scale of tapping the stomach with various things. This would have, of course led to a willingness to be at cause over the stomach. But we didn't say, "Hit it and brutalize it." We said, "What are you willing to hit that stomach with?" Do you get the idea? Just using the Operating Thetan formula and processing by it; finding out where the preclear considered himself to be a total effect and asking him in some fashion or another, "What he could do about it?"

If they have psycho-quacks on their hands that they are worried about, they have only themselves to blame. I have tested this time after time after time in Dianetics and Scientology. Cancelling a certificate because of reported misconduct. That action has never brought with it anything but enturbulence. It has never corrected anything, and that's because 99 percent of the guy's actions were always dictated by his interpretation of the decent thing to do. These people were acting as they thought best for all hands, always. And none of them merited any such punishment.

Well, you'll find that most cases have a very few major communication blocks. In the year 1262 the fellow suddenly decided that "prayer was no good, that one had just better obey and trust it to fate and skip the rest of it." Now you don't even find him believing in a supreme being but being the subject of luck or being the effect of something he can't tell what. You find out that he conceived there was still a God but he couldn't talk to him. You get the idea? He couldn't do anything to him. So therefore he is now, generations later, hundreds of years later, why the fellow is still walking around being totally the subject of something or other.

Therefore I wrote the PAB, "The Rights of the Field Auditor." Remember it? Which you can get a copy of back there. I found out there was no slightest benefit in doing so. The only thing that one could do that had any efficacy at all was to tell the fellow what you meant by ethics; instead of hiding the standard, display one. Don't work from a hidden standard, work from a displayed standard. And say, "Look, you will get along better if you don't do so-and-so and so-and-so. Do you understand? And if you do so-and-so and so-and-so you will find that's a little higher ethical standard and you will get along better."

Well, remember we didn't always have a Christian Yahweh; there's Molech, Baal, and other less pleasant characters. And sometimes when you clean this up on a preclear you have really done a job. It goes kind of swoosh! you know.

And I have never had anything but a "Thank you," when I have told somebody that, and I have never had anything but enturbulence and a kick in the teeth when we cancelled somebody's certificate and tried to punish them. Do you understand?

Sometimes when you get the early postulate on this sort of thing, you don't bury him into the facsimile which he is mocking up himself, but he nevertheless can get buried in it; you don't bury him in the facsimile, you just hit lightly and if he comes to a cognition on it or something like that, believe me he'll arrive. Now, don't try to run it out of him or something of the sort, just let him hit it, and get a recognition on the thing.

We evidently can't punish into better conduct anybody! But we can educate people into what better conduct is, as we have found it, and leave it up to their determinism, whether or not they will find it better and then we can improve a field.

You sometimes have to scan lightly from there up to present time, you know, zuuuuup! and get all the rest of the nutty postulates out that he's made on the same subject and boy, some of those things are really insane. And yet he'll sit there and tell 'em to you as the most reasonable things. But now that you have gotten the pin postulate out, the first one, the main one, the big one out of the line, the rest of them at – only for a moment seem reasonable to him and then they go flick! and out they go.

And so it is with the NAAP. This is an educative move, not a judicial, and treated in that spirit and circulated and disseminated throughout the United States, it is liable to have a rather fantastic impact even if people just read it and never sign it. They will say, "Look that is a standard of practice. Oh, this is something that people would be expected to measure up to. Fine." Or, "Gosh, that's awfully stiff." But it could not do otherwise than increase the ethical standards of the field of practice of mental practitioners. Any way you look at it and anything we do with it. Do you understand that?

Well, once you have cleaned up these communication breaks you can talk to your preclear, and after you can talk to him you can do these other control steps and so forth with great rapidity and you can swing into Creative Processes and get him to patch up the bank with speed that you would hardly believe.

It's not a punitive move; it is an educative move. Its total conduct is clerical; we merely want it to disseminate it.

Now, I'm just giving you an idea. That's the way I handle it. It isn't necessary for you to handle it this way at all. In fact, this isn't really the sort of thing that is talked about here in Clear Procedure. I'm processing by definition, when I'm first trying to clean up the case – I'm processing by definition.

And any one of you who care to become a member of it now will find right at the back of the room there plenty of these laid out, these oaths, all he has to do is sign and get another couple of guys to sign, fill out the membership blank on the back. And if you want your qualifications validated or anything like that so you'll have something – well you can get one of those too. I am not urging that upon you in any way. It doesn't cost you anything.

I figure out what the preclear is up against and just tend to knock it out. What am I handling there? I'm handling the psychosis and the neurosis that are resident in the bank, the nutty postulates. You get the idea? Which takes care of that.

I think if we get an agreement on this – we get a show on the road, I think that mental practice in the United States can be something to be proud of instead of something to be ashamed of.

Now, if you don't do that, and if you don't discuss life with it, don't worry about it, 'cause after you have done this step, even though those nuttinesses made the auditing sort of rough, he'll sometimes go along for several weeks before he run into one of these old postulates himself and falls through on it.

And I think that unless we get something like high ethical practice going in the United States that the science of the mind is doomed. It won't last out public opinion when the public finds out.

So when you have finished auditing the person do not then believe that the auditing is over! You've audited maybe for thirty or forty or fifty hours on this procedure. Everything I made happen early in the session will happen anyway if you use Clear Procedure and he'll go on with livingness perhaps for months before he himself suddenly fishes up one of these old postulates and sees that it doesn't agree with the environment. He is no longer forcing himself into a set of barriers, and therefore his postulates are free. You get the idea? So what I've just talked to you about freeing the track and so forth with a meter happens inevitably, but you can give it a boost very definitely that way.

Therefore, for self-preservation and all other reasons, I recommend to you the National Academy of American Psychology, and I hope you do well with it.

Well, here we are. I hope very much that this will help you. It's quite a step forward, although apparently with old materials, remember it is very newly done. And some of you old-timers better listen to what I said there. Because this is the sequence. It took me seven years to find it out. All right.

Thank you.

I'm not saying you have to do what I'm doing just because I'm doing it. I'm saying you better if you want the results.

Anyway! All right.

Well, this brings us right on down here to the end of this particular congress except for the party tonight. And it has been a very great pleasure talking to you. I hope some of the things that we have done here and some of the things that have been said will prove beneficial to you.

I do not think it has been a wasted period of time and I hope – I hope that some of these processes and some of the theory will be of interest to you, and more important, I hope that you have (if you are new in this) now have some confidence on auditing.

And I want to thank the seminar leaders for the very fine job they've done. I want to thank the hostess and the congress manager for the fine job they've done, and I want to thank all the people who have been sitting behind the desks and taking care of the books and things. And I want to particularly thank you for being here. You have been a very wonderful audience.

Thank you, I'll see you this summer.
