ROUTE 1, STEP 14

ROUTE 1, STEP 12

A lecture given on 18 October 1954A lecture given on 18 October 1954

Now we will go into R1-14 of the Auditor's Handbook.

I want to continue some of this material on Route 1.

R1-14: "Have preclear create and destroy various kinds of thetan machines." Here we have one of the four parts of the body. The body consists of, you might say, the GE and the reactive bank; that would be this electronic structure and the reactive bank. That's the body. And the thetan is the awareness of awareness unit plus his machines.

We've been going over this material on Route 1 and we have covered a great deal about exteriorization.

So here we have the thetan (the awareness of awareness unit), that's one; his machines, two; the electronic structure, and therefore the flesh, and so forth . . . By the way, there are as many anchor points in the body as there are corpuscles. Each one of these corpuscles has its own anchor points. You don't pay any attention to the blood and meat when you're looking over anchor points really. And it has a reactive bank, the body does — just as de-scribed in Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health.

Now, everything I've covered with you at this time is Route 1, Step 4 to Route 1, Step 11.

All right. Here's four parts of the body. These parts are demonstrably separate parts. Where we're dealing with a thetan, and when we have exteriorized him, we are then dealing with the thetan plus his machinery. And when we mean machinery we say "machinery," and when we say "machinery" we mean machines.

Now we get into a more doubtful area of Route 1 when we get into Route 1-12. I want you to understand clearly that everything from 4 to 11, inclusively, is not simply something that's nice to do, but what you do do. And from Route 1-12 on up to Route 1-15, throughout, are things that are nice to do. See, this is not one of these things that the preclear will absolutely perish if you don't do these things.

It's very curious that the thetan in any period in time, in mocking up machinery, has followed the mode of the time in machinery. But it is strictly machinery.

Now, Intensive Procedure has a great many steps which you could omit or forget about. But certainly you wouldn't forget about R1-4 to R1-11 — but you could start getting a foggy memory along about R1-12. Because this step is only a minor step which usually takes place in the preclear. But nevertheless, it's a good thing to do with a preclear.

What do we mean by machines? Any time he has desired some randomity — which is the ratio of predicted to unpredicted motion (randomity is the degree of predicted to unpredicted motion) — he has gotten an automaticity, which is "It runs without any attention from me." The devil it does. A machine never runs with no attention from the thetan. Never! Never has, never will.

Sometimes you'll get a preclear who, while exteriorized, still is banked-up by facsimiles. He's got facsimileosis. And everything he looks at ... You tell him to "Go out and look at that dog," and he'll see a facsimile of a dog, not a real dog, you know. You tell him to go through the stomach of that goat and he doesn't appear a bit alarmed. Whereas, as a matter of fact, the first time you tell somebody to sail through the stomach of a goat, and he's actually exteriorized, he's liable to be quite alarmed with you. That seems to be a fairly strange place to go.

But he gives it the attention by so many vias and the postulate that he doesn't know it's there, that it has the effect of running without his attention and without his energy.

Actually, he's used to being eaten, you know. And being eaten by a goat is quite degrading. And he'll balk somewhat.

He feeds it energy by vias, and so there it exists, running.

So we have this person with facsimileosis. It's merely the fact that this person has not yet gotten into a state where he can create or destroy energy.

One of the main reasons he set up machinery in the first place was be-cause he got bored with what he was doing. He got tired of doing some simple action over and over and over and over, so he set up the machine to do it.

Of course, this whole universe is dead set against either creation or destruction. These two things you mustn't do. "Survive" is the motto of this universe. "Creation, destruction" — these definitely are not the mottoes of this universe.

Of course, the second he set up a machine, it became automatic. And the moment it became automatic, it became plus randomity, didn't it? — because he no longer controlled it and yet it affected him.

If you want to believe this more thoroughly, just go around and ask a nuclear physicist sometime. Ask him what he thinks of this new idea of yours. And do you know, usually, long before you have any chance to state the idea, he will have told you just this (which is a real funny one): "There isn't anything new; it's all been done before." He's certain of this. This is a big conviction on his part: "It's all been done before." Oh, the devil it has!

So you're looking straight at the dwindling spiral when you're looking at this phenomena of machinery. The individual got disinterested in what he was doing, but he felt he had to go on doing it, so he set it up automatically. The second he set it up automatically, he stopped predicting it, didn't he? So therefore, his life became more random than before.

Writers who are all written out, fogged down and have finally become editors will tell you that there is no such thing as a new idea.

And you'll find somebody originally on the track didn't have any ma-chines and felt perfectly free and able. And you'll find him, after Lord-knowshow-much living, having accumulated countless machines around him, all doing very, very interesting, intricate things, to which he's paying no attention at all. And you get such a thing as the electronic structure of the body that's being put there by the accumulated intelligences which make up the GE.

One of the first things that they teach in some of those decadent places known as "the university," in the creative-writing class they will tell you there are some ... I don't know. What is it, eight jokes? No, that's over in public speaking — eight basic jokes and no others.

And that's also aided and abetted by pictures made by picture-taking machines. The body has a picture-taking machine which makes pictures of all accidents and incidents and keeps a good pictorial record of the incidents of the body, and you have this thing called facsimiles and engrams.

They'll tell you that there are something like thirty-six dramatic situations and fifty-five associations (or maybe that's Heinz products, or is that fifty-seven?) — something like this — but there's just exactly a finite number of plots.

All right. The thetan, however, has less machines than the body, but he's on his way. If he will just accumulate a few thousand more machines, why, he will do all kinds of interesting complexities, such as building bodies, and so forth, without knowing he's building them.

Well, there was a fellow one time, wrote a book called "Plotto" or "The Plot Jinni" — and he went mad doing it by the way. But it's all possible combinations based upon these thirty-six standard situations. I wonder why he went mad. It doesn't seem to me like you'd go mad doing this.

Now, only thing wrong with a machine is that it is obviously an other-determined action than one's own action. And whenever one let's this get into the works, after a while life becomes totally random — unpredictable.

Well, he had to assume basically that there were just so many plots and then just so many combinations of these plots. And having assumed that, he was dead. That's the way you kill a writer: You tell him there's thirty-six dramatic situations.

And the anatomy of mystery starts out with the unprediction of some-thing, goes into the necessity to control it, goes into the noncontrol of it and winds up as a mystery. A mystery starts with unprediction. And setting up of a machine is then the start of a mystery. And so we have the body a huge mystery, because the collective intelligences which built it gradually lost all of its functions and set them up to run forever. So they became random as far as the intelligences running them were concerned.

Actually there aren't. There aren't any dramatic situations as far as the instructor is concerned. He has lost all sense of drama. The world is dead as far as he's concerned. It's all deduced down to a certain mechanic.

All right. The thetan, exteriorized, wants amusement; for some reason or other he sets up a machine. You're going to exteriorize a thetan, this kind of thing is going to happen: You say, "Be in the Moon. Be in the Sun. Be in Earth. Be in . . ." He'll say, "Just a minute." You say, "What's the matter?"

Do you mean to tell me that an individual cannot simply invent a dramatic situation, just whole cloth? Well, you'll have to run a preclear on that basic two-way communication question, "How many problems could you be to yourself? How many problems could you be to yourself?" and all of a sudden, he's getting more and more and more and more and more.

"I don't know. There's something wrong here. When I think of some place, I arrive there." He says, "That's funny." He says, "I don't go there. I think of this place and then bing! I'm there." He said, "Only it's not the place that I thought of. You know, there's something wrong here. I think of the Moon and I go to the Sun?" Well, in the first place, he's got a sending machine. He's set up some kind of a machine to act as an exterior intelligence to himself to send himself places. It's real cute. It will cause an auditor more trouble if he doesn't know what it is.

He runs out entirely at first. You know? He just drains the bank of how many problems he could be to himself, and then long comm lags, and then he gets more of them and more of them and more of them. He finally gets up to infinity.

He'll be exteriorized, and he'll get absolutely haggard. He'll think of Paris and he'll be in Paris; and he'll think of South Africa and he'll be in South Africa; and he'll think of the North Pole and he'll be at the North Pole. And this will just go on, and he feels like the end of a crack-the-whip team.

What do you suppose a dramatic situation is, but how many problems you could be to yourself or others?

Well, this is the result of automaticity. He's made a machine that sends him places.

Well, how many ways can you bend a piece of copper wire? That's how many vias there would be. How many ways, directions, could you bend how many combined kinds of copper wire? That's one of these nebulous questions, isn't it?

Now, the way he makes this machine: He makes the consideration, puts some mass to it to give himself some conviction that it exists, then he hides it and forgets about it.

Supposing you had an infinity of copper wire, an infinity of sizes of cop-per wire. Now, how many ways could you bend this? — and you'd have the number of problems. Because a problem is always occasioned by via. Any time you bend that line between cause and effect, you have started a problem. Any time you go into a relay system of any kind, you have started into problems.

The consideration which made it, he hides it, he forgets about it. And that is the one-two-three step of making a machine: The consideration, what the machine is supposed to do, and then hiding it, and then forgetting that he has hidden it — always with the fact that it is going to be operative upon him.

Now, how many problems could he be to himself — this is basically a dramatic situation, isn't it?

Did you ever run into somebody who is afraid of invalidating himself?

All right. If he believes there's a finite number of dramatic situations, then there are a finite number of reasons to live — just like that. He just doesn't have very many reasons to live. He'd have only thirty-six, wouldn't he?

You know, "All I do is invalidate myself. I say I'm getting along fine, then all of sudden I say, 'Well, I'm doing horribly." Invalidation is primarily an energy manifestation; it's being zapped, in the thought line, and people get afraid of thinking, finally, because they're so afraid of being hit. He's actually set up a machine for himself which zaps him under certain conditions.

Well, I'd blow my brains out if I only thought there was thirty-six situations by which I could get into trouble in this universe.

He goes out of here someplace, and all of a sudden zzzzzzzzup.

Now, creation and destruction on the level of ideas, of course, is immediately mirrored by creation to destruction on the level of energy. And then creation to destruct on the level of energy is mirrored in terms of solidity — havingness.

Well, if you work him over on machinery — regaining control of machinery — and something like this is happening, you'd find out he himself has set up the handiest little machine you ever saw, that when you get on just a certain angle of the machine, you get zapped.

What is havingness but too many vias jammed up too tight. That's havingness. You want a picture of havingness, it's too many vias jammed up too tight. And, of course, all havingness is a problem.

He zaps himself. That of course added interest into life; he never knew when he was going to be zapped, did he? Well now, that's how silly a thetan will get with setting up these machines. And then having forgotten it and having hidden it, you as an auditor are expected to come along and, by some necromancy, banish it.

You want to know what gives the millionaire ulcers, he just has to be surrounded by that many pieces of mass, and he's got that many vias, immediately.

Now, how do you banish a machine? You just mock one up. Have him do the same thing.

All right. We take energy — creation to destruction of energy — creation to destruction of matter would be its lowest realm, wouldn't it?

Anything the preclear is being affected by, have him do it. Now, why? Anytime the preclear is on the "E" end of the cause-distance-effect line, you simply have him do the function which puts him on the "C" end of the causedistance-effect line. How simple. So you could take over all this machinery.

Now, I'll go into this very briefly and tightly here, exactly what this step is. R1-12, by design, is an exteriorized process which would convince the per-son that he could then generate and unmock energy — see, generate and destroy energy.

You have him do it — that is, you could actually have him perform the action himself, just many times, and the machinery would disconnect, wear out and go to pieces. It would break up.

If he can generate and destroy energy ... You see, "How many problems could you be to yourself?" and "How many problems could you be to others?" would generate and destroy dramatic ideas, wouldn't it? That would create and destroy dramatic ideas. Well, we'd have to get into the field of energy.

Or you could have him copy machinery. Now, you're having him do again the action of making machines, aren't you? So you just have him copy ma-chines.

Your nuclear physicist knows that this universe is here. It will be here forever. There is no destroying any single particle in the entire universe. The conservation of the energy reigns everywhere — particularly in the police department. And he knows you couldn't do this. That's why he's mad. That's why he's actually crazy enough to go out here and set off atom bombs.

This person is being sent in various places, and he's being sent all over the place. You could say to this individual just this patter: "All right. Mock up a machine that sends you all over places. Now mock up another machine that sends you all over the place. Mock up another machine." You do this four or five times, and all of a sudden this huge thing like a Comptometer suddenly shows up over in that direction.

He has reached the extremity, the utter extremity, of "We just can't have that much mass there! We've got to do something about it! We've got to make nothing out of it!" You have people run around trying to make nothing out of big masses by saying, "Well, it doesn't amount to much, and it isn't important, and it isn't pretty, and so forth." What's happened is, is they're drawn in toward that mass so far and so deep that it is a matter of great problem to them. See, they're drawn into it. And they're trying to fend off of it by saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing." And if they feel they can't get away from it, they just go on a steady, running-fire of chatter of how it doesn't amount to much — whether that's criticism or trying to talk it down or invalidate it one way or the other.

And he says, "What is that?" And the more times he copies it, the brighter it gets, and then all of a sudden it starts to get smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller, and finally vanishes.

They only have to invalidate obsessively when they can't unmock it directly. Have we got that?

Only, all this time, all you were telling him was "Mock up a machine to send you places. Mock up another machine that'll send you places. Mock up another machine that'll send you places." See? It's just copy, copy, copy, copy, and it short-circuits the big machine that's sitting out there — so much so that it runs out its own postulates of hiding and so forth.

The way you unmock it directly is by perfect duplication. Duplicate it in its own time, its own space, with its own particles, and believe me, it'll cease to exist.

Now, you could tell him, "Mock up a machine that'll send you places. Now hide it. Now forget about it." This would be a perfect way to do it. "Mock up another machine which would send you places. Now hide it. Now forget about it. Mock up another machine which will send you places. Now hide it. Now forget about it. Another machine which will send you places...." And all of a sudden he'll see this machine over there.

I almost frightened Sutton out of his wits one day. He was sitting there minding his own business and I all of a sudden said, "Take a look at the atoms over there in that brick. Now put an attention unit along with each atom that you see in that little section there, and have it go back to, and pick up at its inception, and make a perfect duplicate of, that atom. Have each one of these attention points do that." And pshooh! He had an empty space right there where he was looking at, see. Gone!

You do it several ways. You could have him simply send himself places enough times, and it would start to key out this machinery.

The only thing that makes this matter stay around is to come through too many courses and routes, you see. And it's finally gotten lost from its original creation point. All you'd have to do is locate its original creation point and unmock it and it would cease to exist right where it is.

In other words, this is not a hard problem for the auditor to solve. Just make the preclear do whatever he's up against, or make him make a mock-up to do whatever he's up against — either way, and you'll have it.

You would actually have to unmock it twice if you were going to do a complete job of it, because you'd have to unmock the fact that you'd unmocked it. Otherwise, you'd still have a ghost of it around. Got that?

Make him make a mock-up or make him do it. Make him make a mock-up to do it or have him do it himself; but whichever one you choose, have him do that then many times.

So, here we have R1-12 as an entire series of processes which create and destroy energy. You could do it directly or otherwise. And when you say R1-12, this process here may not be the best process there is to do this, but it is a process that does this.

Now, I've had thetans show up with machinery which they invented in the days of the early Roman Empire, which consisted of wooden wheels and cogs, little glass balls or pebbles which dropped into certain buckets, and which made things weigh in other directions, and so forth. Interesting, huh?

It's "Have preclear mock up generators, power plants and suns to give him energy, on that gradient scale, until he's totally convinced that he does not have to receive energy from an outside source." Why does this individual never create energy? Why is he still playing around with facsimiles? Well, he believes he has to have all of his energy from an outside source. He believes he himself cannot create energy, that he has to have it from elsewhere. So, this is just a nice route by which you change his consideration with this set of mock-ups, up to a point where he says, "Why, heck, I can make that energy. I'm making that generator and I'm creating that sun, and so forth, anyhow." The steps of doing this, the patter which will go along with it, is the easiest thing in the world. You simply have him mock up generators. Have him mock up a little tiny generator to give him energy enough to flick his eyelid. You see? And have him mock up something else — straight generators. Or have him mock up food supplies which would supply him with energy in order to flick his eyelid. Anything you want to do, you see, and then mock up enough to blow him up in the air finally — you know, power plants and motors and so on. Just have him go on mocking up things to give him energy.

I've processed a thetan that had a machine which was a couple of boulders which were so teeter-tottered that they would fall over and hit him — as an invalidation machine. In other words, this was a Stone Age creation.

He will mock them up more or less on a gradient scale, so you could say the auditing command would be "Mock up something that will give you energy in order to act," and "You just mock up something else to give you energy," and "Mock up something else that'll furnish you with energy." And you just keep saying this, and he'll all of a sudden fall wise to the fact that he's mocking it all up. You just run it until he does. And at that moment he will no longer be confounded by all these facsimiles.

I've had him show up with an 1890 player piano as his musical machine. Also, I've had him show up with a former-civilization, streamlined, handy jim-dandy device that is supposed to blow up cities — all streamlined with photoelectric cells, and all compact and everything else. In other words, he made up this machine when he was in that environment.

This is one of the basic problems he has. One of the basic problems he has anyhow is that he has set up a problem, saying that he himself can't furnish energy to it, somebody else has to. And that's one of his basic problems.

In all times, in all places, wherever a thetan has been, whatever he has done, he has had a tendency to copy the environment in which he was working. So when you start running out machinery, be prepared to find anything. And the rule to run out machinery is to have the preclear do what the pre-clear is doing.

So, Remedy of Problems actually will sometimes turn up that computation. You simply: "How many problems could you be to yourself?" He'll finally say, "Well, I have to have something else mock up all the energy I'm using." And that'll be one of the most basic problems he has.

Have him do — in full knowingness that he is doing it — what he is doing obsessively, and without knowledge that he is doing it. Make him recover the knowledge that he is doing it, and the manifestation will vanish. And that is how you get rid of machinery. And, that's really all there is to machinery.

If R1-12 does not bring about the condition of full release of his ideas and attitudes concerning this, and if it doesn't bring about an alteration of consideration so he knows he can mock up energy for his own use, why, you know then you have run into problems.

But machinery can exist that will do anything you and I could think of here, if we just sat here the rest of the day and did nothing but dream up objects and things machines could do to thetans.

So we would just start back on the basis of "How many problems couldyou be to yourself?" or we'd go back to this Remedy of Havingness back here.We would simply step back to R1-11, see: "How many problems couldyou be to yourself in havingness?" or "How many problems can you be in havingness?" Well, how many problems could he be in doingness? How many problems could he be in beingness?

One of the things that a thetan has as a machine — just to give you an idea — they have an executing machine, quite often. And sometimes bodies into which thetans have moved into have executing machines — which are sometimes made up like guillotines, only they're electronic guillotines. And in a dental operation and in an operational shock these things will sometimes trigger.

Be, have and do, remember, are the component parts which are opposite space, energy and mass. See: space, be; do, energy; have, mass. Also time — have is time. You don't have any time problems until you have havingness problems — unless it's the problem of not having any time at all, by the way. That's quite a problem: being a complete space, without even a visible anchor point — which is to say, this universe.

What are they? They're an enormous ball of energy or an ax or some-thing of the sort, hanging above the person's head. And under a certain amount of stress, when the thetan himself is in so much trouble that he can't knock off the body and escape, this machine is supposed to knock off the body and let him escape.

So R1-12, auditing command, is simply "Mock up something which will furnish you energy. Mock up something else which will furnish you energy. Mock up something else which will furnish you energy. Mock up something else which will furnish you energy. Mock up something else which will furnish you energy. Mock up something else which will furnish you energy," just on and on and on till he finally falls wise to the fact that he is creating all the energy that's being used by him anyhow. And that is the total step.

Or it has been set up by the GE or some earlier thetan and is still effective upon your preclear. And he's inside this body which has an execution machine, and he went under anesthetic and he did all right, and then all of a sudden there was this tremendous explosion and the whole front of his face went numb, and it's been numb ever since. He went into an execution ma-chine, didn't he?

Now, R1-12 is, of course, a mock-up process. And you see that as a mock-up process. Therefore, it has some limitation in itself. Actually, a process which'd chase somebody around the universe, such as a Grand Tour, can be senior to a straight mock-up process.

How would you handle it? Have him mock up execution machines. That's all. Have him mock up the same machine over and over and over, making it tougher and tougher each time, until all of a sudden he recognizes he can do it. At that time the machine no longer has any effect upon him.

The only reason he is using facsimiles, of course: He's afraid to look directly, so he makes a facsimile of something and then looks at the facsimile. Well, that's silly too. Look, he had to see the object he was making a facsimile of, didn't he? In order to make a facsimile of it, he had to see the object he was making a facsimile of, copy it, then pretend he hadn't seen the object and look at the facsimile. That's vias. They'll get a guy in trouble every time.

A thetan can only be affected by those things which he does not believe he himself can do anymore. When a person cannot do something, he can then be affected by somebody else doing it — very strongly affected!

Well, an execution machine: Sometimes a fellow's had an operation. He's gone along for a week afterwards, and then all of a sudden this execution machine is triggered. Post-operative shock is one of these machines going off.

So this is a valuable thing to know about machinery.

But you get somebody exteriorized and he's doing something peculiar, you merely have him do it, or have him mock up something that does it, complete. And also, if you have him mock it up, have him hide it and forget it. And have him do it many times, and the whole machine disentangles.

Do you destroy every machine which you find the thetan in possession of? No, you certainly better not. Destroy only those which are totally out of his control — and then fix him up so after that he is capable of making machinery which really works.

And the last step in it is have him mock up machines, hide them and forget about them — which really work, that he's really hidden and really for-gotten about. Have him make machinery and have him recover this ability.
