6306C18 SHSpec-275 Beingness

     The overt-motivator sequence is about a trillion trillion trillion [1036]
years old, minus a hundred thousand trillion.  It is a long track, but we have
the process to take it apart.  The main difficulty with the time track and its
use in auditing is that there are so many cases that can't confront a time
track or any part of it, so you get loses trying to run engrams.  We have been
accumulating processes that can bring someone upscale to where they can view
the time track.  A great number of processes have been accumulated and,
recently, codified, as we looked at the fundamental of what we are trying to
do with a case.

     The ultimate procedure is rote engram running, but not everybody could do
it.  So the subject has had to be wrapped up in such a way that it could be
done by all.  Current rote engram running is superior to and different from
earlier engram running.  We are running engrams by chains, to open up and
smooth out the time track.  The only reason we are doing anything about
engrams at all is that those are the parts of the time track that are least
confrontable.  If you get rid of those stretches, the PC has a time track.
The worst part of the time track denies anyone the best part.  Unless you get
rid of the engrams, you haven't got any time track, because the PC can't
confront it.

     This sets up innumerable problems.  The more heavily charged the track
is, the less the PC can confront it, and there is a point where the PC moves
out of any confrontability of the engram, and now there is nothing to confront
at all.  This gives you the scale of cases: OT to unaware.  Awareness of the
physical universe also diminishes as you go downscale.

     If each case level were to be divided from the others, it would be
divided by layers of anaten.  Anyone at Level 8 would have to go through
layers of anaten to get to Level 7, awareness of own evaluations.  As one goes
upscale, the layers of anaten seem thinner and are thinner, because the more
aware one is, the less one minds unawareness.

     The lowest conscious level of unawareness would be catalepsy or amnesia.
But even a man thinking that he has only lived once has a lot of automatic
unawareness of the time track.  When you throw into his lap the idea of having
lived before, you will get a confrontation of his opinions about it, e.g.
"What would that do to old age pensions?", and this will make him pretty
groggy.  If you push him up the line, his suppositional actions will occur.
In the absence of processing, as he goes from Level 7 to Level 6, he will get
wild ideas, after going dopey.  He gets dub-in of dub-in lots of suppositional
reality.  For instance, he may think he is Tutankhamen.  If you could get him
to discuss it more intimately, he would get pictures of pictures.  Then, as
the PC reaches Level 4, it all goes black.  The blackness or invisibleness are
parts of real pictures.  The rest of the picture is just unconfrontable.  The
blackness of a Level 4 is on the time track.  It is actually there on the time
track.  It is a nice, dark, "safe" part of the incident that actually
happened.  Run him through, run him earlier, and pictures can turn on.  At
this point, he gets very groggy in the incident.  As he reaches Level 3 in
this way, he can see much more easily.

     As Level 2 moves into Level 1, the time track disappears, possibly
because "the time track itself is a method of not confronting something....
He doesn't want to confront it, and this overwhelms him to the point where,
without power of choice, he makes a picture of it, and you have the
involuntary picture-taking apparatus that is the time track." One can,
however, only be overwhelmed by that which one does not confront.

     So the Levels of Cases Scale is a scale of confronting, and we could
mistakenly think that confronting would solve the time track.  While
confronting does get results and is an interesting process, it is not the
common denominator of processes.  The common denominator of processes is
duplicate.  The common denominator of reaction is confront.  The time track is
duplication of an actual event, and each one of the case levels is a level of
willingness to duplicate, or unwillingness to duplicate.  So your breakdown
from OT towards clear is an individual lack of desire to duplicate what he has
to duplicate in order to be an OT, leading to an overwhelming automaticity of
making a time track.

     Duplication goes hand in glove with the idea of beingness.  As we study
beingness, we will see this with great clarity.  "To be or not to be" is not
the question, in this universe.  You are going to be something whether you
like it or not.  Your power of choice on this matter no longer exists.  You
can not-be a certain thing, but only in order to be something else.  You can
be or not-be a certain thing, but you will always be something.  "The question
is 'What to be?'!"

     So this is the problem one picks up as one enters this universe.  It
doesn't matter if the universe is timeless, because you entered it somewhere.
As you examine people's time tracks, you find that their tolerance of time is
improving as you go back.  Since time is the single source of aberration, if
your time-tolerance improves as you go back on the track, you must be getting
into periods, not only when the PC was less aberrated, but also approaching
the beginning of the time track.  An individual's time track is not infinite
because:

     1. He entered the universe at some point.

     2. The earlier he gets on the time track, the less it is a constant,
        continual, and infinite thing.

The universe, on the other hand, continues at its own rate of vibration.  If
the individual's time track were of infinite duration, cases would be
unresolvable.

     Getting back to the question of beingness: once in this universe, you
can't absolutely not-be.  The question is "What to be?" That is the only
question in the universe that really bothers somebody.  You will drive a kid
up a wall by asking him, "What do you want to be?" If you want him to be
something and he "knows" it would be dangerous, you have a
postulate-counter-postulate situation, a continuing problem of beingness.
"There's a dwindling spiral of beingness" the moment one enters this
universe.  There are fewer and fewer "safe" things to be.  You can aberrate
someone by being after him to be something that is very dangerous.  You get a
problem with this.  The lesson of this universe is that everything you can be
is too dangerous to be.  But there is nothing to do but be in this universe.
The universe has a finite space that looks infinite.  The gains of R2-12 came
from the fact that the PC was making lists of beingnesses and the fact that a
real RI is a potential beingness.  Anything you might want to be is either too
dangerous or too discreditable.  A state's effort to dominate the individual
is out of jealousy of beingness. The press is dramatizing this by saying, "You
mustn't be a scientologist.  It is dangerous to be one."

     So if you want a guy to start sorting out his time track at almost any
level, where he is aware of it at all, you could start him at once on a
question that would get him into some interesting categories.  A time track is
"To duplicate or not to duplicate," but any duplication winds up in a
beingness.  Duplication and beingness are united. or gradients of one
another.  You will have cases that will not become OT until the beingness of
OT is demonstrated to them to be not quite as dangerous as it has been.  All
cases, or all PCs, have "assigned to all upper states dangerous or
discreditable beingness, and [the same] to all lower states, and to [their]
own state[s] impossibility to be." Well, that is the state of any case.

     If there is no program for the security of this planet that we can push
forward, people become loathe to advance their states of case or do anything
else.  They stay parked in an inertia, because there is no desirable future,
no hope factor.  This is why hope is a rudimentary therapy.  To some degree,
you would have to promise that an advanced state of case would not then bring
about further problems, complicated by the political or sociological problems
on this planet.  If there is nothing that one can do with an advanced state of
beingness, it is doubtful that people will try to attain it.  So one needs a
future, or else the problems one got into before, as a free thetan, make one
see no point in case advance. People will downgrade their own states if they
feel uncomfortable, lonely, or unsafe up there. Planning and organization to resolve that problem alone would bring about a case advance.  In the absence of such planning, promise, and organization, you won't get as fast a case advance.

     If you advance any Helatrobus goal, a lot of people will go on an
automatic not-is.  There are people who are on a prevented beingness.  They
make theta traps, implants, etc.  They can be tested for by offering them any
beingness.  They will not-is it.  For instance, you say, "A wise prime
minister would be nice." He says, "Oh, I don't know.  That would just give you
a more powerful government." They would degrade any more advanced beingness or
anything you wanted them to be.  They might even think that they were doing
people a favor.

     We have the idea that if we don't have success with a certain number of
cases, we haven't got enough people to form any strata of a civilization.  It
is OK to say, "All right.  You are making an officer cadre.  The rest can be
as they are." That presupposes that there is a future plan to take care of all
this.  We have a plan now for what to do with this planet.  Fine.  Now, what
about the boys from the next planet?  You inevitably progress into an
organizational future.

     So you have to solve the problem of beingness, not only at the level of
the individual case, but also on out into the future, through some
organization that ensures some safe future.  An OT can straighten things out
on the planet, but unless you mock up a plan to do so -- to solve the
beingness problem more broadly -- you won't make any OT's.  Unless you plan to
straighten things out, few people will go through to OT, because it has been
so unsafe.  In the past, the OT has had a blind spot.  His own power was so
great that he thought he could stand alone, but every time he went up against
an organized body, he lost, because the organization could furnish more
viewpoints than he could.  It is the plurality of viewpoints that confuses the
individual.  He can't sort it all out and eventually gets pulled down?.  The
individual could furnish only a limited number of viewpoints, to which he
could pay attention and which he could coordinate.  Communism advances because
it has a plurality of viewpoints, organized to confuse the individual
viewpoint.

     The individual OT has his problems because he is an individual and has
been convinced that he could do it all by himself.  And he could!  But the
little boys with the airplanes always show up some time in the future.  The
universe was ended by Magellanic clouds less than 500 trillion years ago.
Only space and rubble was left.  There were no suns and no planets.  A lot of
thetans got together to put it all back together.  You got planet builders and
sun-builders.  In spite of all this, the little men with the airplanes showed
up then, with their theta-traps.  Where did they come from? This has happened
repeatedly in this universe.

     This universe surrenders to co-operative action and not to individual
action.  But now we have a new breed of cat: the experienced being.  When you
get through auditing someone now, he is an experienced being who knows the
isness of the universe and who knows that no matter how tough you are, you can
get in a pole trap.  We have the technology to straighten someone out.  Unless
a powerful being learns that this is a universe of organization and
co-ordination, he will just be back on the pole trap again.  Any body of
beings operating with a coordinated program can beat him.  You have got a
situation where the individual is trying to operate in a universe of
co-operation, and of course that degrades the beingness of the individual to that degree.  The "more he fights to be an individual, the less he co-operates.  The less he is willing to co-operate, the more enforced is his co-operation, the more he fights against this sort of thing, and the less freedom he has." That is a description of the dwindling spiral that an individual goes through.  "No-confront" is the mechanical basis of the spiral.  Discarded beingnesses are what bring him down.

     In a facsimile, the hardest problem the PC usually has is trying to
isolate what is him and who is he, and what is he.  This is usually the
biggest lie in the facsimile.  The PC has been running it as an overt, being
the executioner, and he finally turns out to have been the victim's wife.

     It is, in fact, dangerous not to be a scientologist.  But the rest of the
beingnesses are a matter of opinion, and the co-ordination of beingnesses is
one of the better solutions.

     A being at the bottom of the reality scale has gone down through a scale
of beingness.  To get him to be anything at the bottom is impossible, except
to be an unaware being.  There are deeper channels of unawareness, but there
is no absolute unawareness.  He goes into a coma, taking no responsibility for
any beingness of any kind whatsoever.  To move him up the line, he would have
to have some security in being able to be something at an upper level.  You
can have problems in processing if there is no future beingness.  Going out of
responsibility occurs, because one continually gets the lesson that being
responsible lands you in the soup.  The repetition of this lesson is what puts
the individual downscale in livingness.  The scale keeps going further south,
to deeper levels of unawareness.  It has to be made safe to be exterior, to be
a theta clear; without some guarantee that you won't just wind up in the soup
again, you won't become "skyscraper tall" again.

     Havingness is useless without purpose.  "Unless the game itself is an
expanding game, then processing cannot produce a stability." Future livingness
ties into a rise up the scale.

     Out-reality equals no responsibility.  "What to be?  To be an A or to be
a B?" That is the question.  If you can't be an A and can't be a B and there
aren't any other things to be, the answer is anaten.

     It is interesting what you can do simply by using the tool of secure
beingness.  Marital difficulties result from:

     1. A husband who won't be a husband.

     2. A wife who won't be a wife.

     3. A husband who won't let a wife be a wife.

     4. A wife who won't let a husband be a husband.

This is the average marriage.  "Marriage is not unhappy.  Marriage is a
difficult beingness." You could use beingness processing to remedy it.

     Bypassed charge that causes jealousy is bypassed charge in the other
person.  It is not knowing about the other person's past.  Therefore, there is
a criss-cross of BPC.  Because we are not bypassing charge in each other,
scientologists will be the first people who can be friends in this universe.
Because time alone builds up BPC in people who know nothing about the time
track.

     You have to handle the Helatrobus implant because it bolluxes up the time
track and debars an easy route to running engrams and to reaccustoming the
individual to different levels of beingness.  Only engram running will clear
somebody.

     Beingness, case state, hope, expectations, and confront are all tied up
in the case scale.  Now that we have the scale of cases and a knowledge of
what gets a case up to engram running, we can sort out the time track,
reaccustoming the person to various levels of beingness.  After you've got all
the engrams run out, you've got an OT.  Then you need an organization to
handle the problems of the OT in this universe.  Otherwise, he will just slump
again.
