STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association

SHSBC-11  renum 11  9 Jun 61 Reading E-Meter Reactions

READING E-METER REACTIONS

A lecture given on 9 June 1961

[Based on clearsound only.]

Thank you.

Okay, let's see. This is the 9th of June 1961, Saint Hill
Briefing Course and you have had a bulletin today, or you
should have had. Says something to the effect, I think
sarcastic, snide, asking you if you're waiting for the
E-Meter to play "Dixie" and I expect almost anybody at any
minute to say, "No, we're waiting it to play 'God Save the
Queen.'"

But I'm quite happy about it, actually, in a - and in a
fairly exuberant frame of mind with regard to it, because
I found out what's taking you so confounded long to clear
people. And there's a general misconcept abroad.

And it - although it's taken up in this bulletin - which is
what? The 8th, HCOB 8 June 61 - you're auditing people's
analytical minds out! That's right! I mean, this sounds
incredible, but that's what you're trying to do!

And you know, you're not going to shoot any ducks if you
keep going around shooting at crows. Well, it's true isn't
it, huh? I know I've left you In a little bit of a mystery,
but that is what you are doing.

Dianetics: Modern Science of Mental Health, 1950. We change
all the time. We change all the time, except we're always
dealing with the same fundamentals.

All we're doing is changing an approach to the same
fundamentals. Now, I say we change all the time
sarcastically, because somebody is always walking up to me
telling us how fast we change and how we are changing and
all that sort of thing and I say, "What have we changed
lately?"

"Oh, well, what have we changed lately? Um."

"Come on, what have we changed lately?"

"Uh, well, um, we've changed the Axioms," the one thing
that hasn't been changed for years. And I find out they
don't know enough about the subject to know whether it's
been changed or not! Which is always a good test if
somebody tells you that.

Now, what we are doing is trying to approximate exactly
what the mechanics - which are already known to us about the
mind - how these things are stacked up in people's minds, so
we get a common denominator of approach. And of course, it
gets simpler and simpler, but we're always handling the
same mechanics. So let's get back to a very fundamental
fundamental here, and let's take a look at this thing
called the reactive mind.

Now, I know you're all sitting there burning with questions
about other things, but I'm interested in this today - and
that is the reactive mind.

The reactive mind is a mind which acts without inspection,
on the basis of stimulus. In other words, when this mind is
restimulated, it acts without inspection. It's a
non-inspection mind. Do you understand?

And it puts into actions, solutions for problems it fancies
must exist but which may well never have existed or which
haven't existed for billions of years and you put in any
part of the old problem and the reactive mind goes into
solution. It's a sort of an idiot simplicity. So, it is a
mind that solves problems without inspection.

It's taken up pretty well in Dianetics: Modern Science of
Mental Health. Only thing much we've changed about that
book is the second part of the book, which has to do with
how we address this situation.

And heavens, how we addressed this situation in old
Dianetics still is raising its ugly head. Lately we've got
Presession 38 - which I haven't authorized anybody around
here to use. But what is that but Book One? And we've got
all kinds of ramifications on the same fundamentals.

So here's this mind without inspection. All right. It's
pretty good, you know? It doesn't have to make an
inspection. See, that's the first thing that's wrong with
the situation. So therefore, it reacts on anything it
inspects. Got the idea? So the inspections are kind of
accidental. Because it's based to work without inspection.

Of course, everybody knows that this is the safest thing to
do. A thetan is trying to survive, who doesn't find any
necessity for trying to survive at all - which is the first
idiocy.

You couldn't possibly kill a thetan. You could degrade him,
submerge him, make him unable and do various things like
this, or he could do these things to himself. But he
couldn't possibly not survive.

So, the first thing it is doing is trying to solve a
problem which doesn't exist: the survival of a thetan.
Doesn't exist!

So therefore, it immediately relegates itself to the
survival of form or the perpetuity of an existing state.
If you can't keep a thetan from surviving, you certainly,
however, could keep a form surviving, couldn't you? But if
you kept a form surviving, what you would have is a
perpetuation of existing state - which would, of course,
take out all the time, all the matter, all the energy and
all the space in a sensible arrangement and garblize them.
Why?

All right. The reactive mind is the accumulated goals of
survival of the individual - for forms. And that is exactly
what the reactive mind is. That's - it's no more complicated
than that. Its goal is survival in each case, you see?

Now, the reason it destroys is because it's trying to get
something to survive. You got the idea? See? Trying to get
self to survive so it destroys other, see? But it's still
survival. It creates something in order to get a form to
survive.

Even though you've got create and destroy, and even though
you have a cycle of action, the reactive mind is that part
of the cycle of action which is never going to move, and
never has, according to any understanding or activity in
which man has engaged, in all the time he has been on this
planet. Why?

Because the keynote of it is survive - survival of a form.
There's no question about the survival of a thetan.

Oh, there's a question of the survival of his capabilities.
There's a question of survival of his happiness. There's a
question of survival of whether or not he's interested.
There's a question of all these things, but these are
significances.

As far as his actual survival is concerned, he'll be here
till the universe fades out, even though he's only a crumb
of a Sullivan - I mean sand! Got to be careful of who I have
overts on here!

Anyhow. Now, here then is this enigma. You have a mind that
is trying to make something survive which is already dead.
It's gone, man, it's gone! The body you had back there on
the galaxy of Gee Whizzes, that - man, that hadn't been -
that form hasn't been around for a long time. Go back and
look. Dig up the old scrapheap where they threw the factory
workers and you won't find anything there anymore, except a
memory. Touching, isn't it?

But the reactive mind, because it was trying desperately,
you see, to make that form survive once, has never
forgotten the impulse. That's pretty good. Because the
impulse is survive, then the reactive mind's impulse
regarding that action is surviving, you see? And it hasn't
any more use to you. You could remember this, don't you
see, if you didn't have to make it survive. But by
remembering it, because of the impulse of survival being so
great in that particular area, you get a restimulation as
though you're still in the period - as though you're still
there. Why? Because all the impulse of survival is trapped
into that period and area, but it has been riding on up to
the present time.

Here's the great game of make-believe. The form has lived
forever and is still here. What a game of pretense, you see?

Well, the accumulation of these pretenses, with all of
their attendant recordings and nostalgia, wind up in
present time having nothing to do with the situation
anywhere. But in order to guarantee the survival of this
doll you lost back in the galaxy of Gee Whizzes, it is
perfectly obvious that you have to do something about gorillas.

Well, this is difficult, because there just don't happen to
be but about 450 of them left. They're the United Nations
officials now. Anyway, they - that's - something on that
order. There are very few gorillas left and so the reactive
mind has a great starvation for gorillas, which can make
this thing survive.

So a woman walks down the street with a fur coat and a
fellow has a feeling in his head of small machinery going
around. Only, because it's all by no inspection - ... You
see, the safe thing to do is to act without thinking,
because you never know what's going to happen to a form. The
surprises have been multitudinous. So if you just act quick
enough - the datum is - if you just act quick enough, why,
the form goes on surviving.

But if you - well, if you could just duck bullets - give you
an idea, see - an ambition of this character. Every time
somebody fired a bullet at you, in a war or something like
that, if you acted quickly enough, of course, you would
never be hit. I know that's idiotic, but so is the reactive
mind.

Yet sometime or another, you've had an ambition of that
character. You've said, "I wouldn't ever have airplanes run
into me if I ducked every time I thought there might be an
airplane in my vicinity." Well, this gets embarrassing,
particularly when you're in basements.

See, it's a - if you're going to get a form to survive, you
mustn't wait until you look over the name, rank and serial
number of the aircraft, you see. The thing to do is duck.

Actually, I knew a naval officer - he has only one creditable
action in his whole existence and that was, he actually did
identify an American fightercraft that was coming back in
over the fleet. And it had been mauled up and it was making
it all right. It was trailing smoke. And he did identify
it, and he did restrain at the last instant, his people
from firing at that aircraft. He did restrain them.

The aircraft was shot down by the next ship in line. But
that was a creditable action, and I - I wish to assign it
to him. It shows you that not all men are all bad.

But this was very unusual for him to do such a thing, which
is why it stands out in my mind. It's almost incredible for
the man to ever have inspected anything, yet he did in this
particular case. But the safe thing, reactively, to do is
of course, shoot at an aircraft without inspection.

Well, when fellows get all gingered up by war, they're
liable to do things like this. Actually, the only thing
wrong with wars is, you put weapons in the hands of men and
get them marching around, some of those guns will go off
and somebody's liable to get hurt. And that's the only
thing wrong with war. Otherwise, they're fine.

So, there was a little Dutch corvette, and it had escaped
from Java when it was abandoned by the Associated Allied
Admirals Union and - they had to work overtime, so they
abandoned it. Anyway, this little corvette escaped.

Well, I myself was in a sort of a gingery frame of mind and
had very often gone clang when, in approaching American
harbors, the local fighter command or torpedo boats would
use you for target practice and they all were under orders,
that in view of the fact there were no ships around of the
enemy, that they should fight ours.

And they would take practice dummy runs on every ship that
was coming in and they were under orders to do this. It was
almost enough for a ship to be coming down the fairway for
the fighter command to leap into their cockpits, tie their
girl's stockings - or was that another war - and go screaming
off down the runway and go dummy runs on you, you know?

And you'd have to hold your cap on, on the bridge, you see
and the funnel would go eeuengh! and so on. And I used to
object to this rather considerably, because I'd been over
in - in the South Pacific, early in the war and it made me
nervous. And I was getting reactive on the subject, you see?

Not as reactive as a bunch of officers I went down to meet
one day, who had just come in from that area. An aircraft
passed over their landed aircraft on the airport - and, they
were on American soil, you see - and every one of them
threw himself face down on the concrete alongside of the
airplane. Of course, there were - all the people at the
airport thought this was silly, which it was because it was
in the wrong time and place. But it was just a reaction,
you see.

Well, anyway, this little Dutch corvette comes steaming up
the line in Miami and a whole squadron of American torpedo
bombers say, "Well, that's what we're supposed to do." And
they jump in their cockpits and tie their girl's stockings
around their necks, or whatever it is and go screaming down
the runway, up into the sky and start a practice run on
this Dutch corvette. And of course, they got met right in
the teeth with everything the Dutch corvette had. Well, at
least part of the Air Force had a baptism of fire.

By the way, the United States government couldn't do
anything about it at all. They spoke to the Dutch corvette
and the Dutch corvette said - captain said, "Ve have jus'
come out of a war. Uns you go running against us, you gonna
get shot at. That's it!"

And the corvette was provided with air cover all the way up
the Atlantic seaboard, clear to New York, to warn off
torpedo bombers and things that might make runs on it. They
kept it spotted, much more carefully than they were looking
for the Deutschland. It was dangerous!

Now their reactivity of course has come up to a total
insistence. It's come up to a total identification of all
aircraft with enemy aircraft, you see? Because the safe
thing to do is not inspect.

Obviously, if you sat around in enemy waters, you know, and
the lookout, he sees an aircraft in the distance and he
walks back to the phone and he picks up the phone and he
said, "Give me the Captain's orderly." And the orderly
comes to the phone. He said, "I'd like to speak to the
Captain if he isn't busy."

"Captain, I don't wish to disturb you, but I have spotted
something up in the sky. I'm not sure what it is. Would you
like to come out and have a look?"

Captain says, "Well, I'm going to finish a cup of tea here
and I'll be up." Of course, they would have been dead by
that time. Never would have had a chance.

So instead of that, they jam time. You get the idea? And
the jam of the time finally results in a no-inspection. See
what happens?

So any aircraft in the distance gets shot at, until - ...
I think I was the first one across the Pacific after the
declaration of war in WW II, in an unarmed merchantman and
we were running like a hare before the wolves. And one
day - one day there was a terrible alarm and we'd managed to
haul some antitank guns out of the hold and mount them in
sandbags. And I don't know what they could have done, but
it was very interesting anyway and kept the morale up and
we had a couple of Lewis guns that I'd put in action.
Nobody on board knew how to operate the things and it was
quite - it was quite good.

And all of a sudden, there was a tremendous, screaming rush
up on the boat deck and everybody was gesticulating at the
sky, and the Lewis gun goes off with a low snarl and
antitank guns start banging.

So I went up to find out what was happening, and they point
up at the sky and the bridge, meantime, is madly trying to
communicate with the boat deck - out of communication
totally. Nobody would listen to the bridge and finally, I
spot this thing. I couldn't figure out what they were
shooting at!

They knew. They were shooting at an enemy aircraft and
they'd seen it circle and it was circling. The only
difficulty was, in the tropics, Venus is totally visible in
daylight. And they were shooting madly at the planet Venus!

And the bridge had already figured out what they were doing
and was trying to tell them madly that that was Venus.
Being seamen, they have their own goddesses. Here was a
totally reactive situation. Of course, the safe thing to do
was shoot, obviously.

Well, that's how far off it can go.

So one day, this part of the reactive mind which has been
trying to keep a doll surviving on the Galaxy Gee Whizzes,
from being destroyed by gorillas, gets a whiff of a fur
coat and goes into total action. Takes over, right as out
of that moment. You've got an emergency situation,
instantly. You've got gorillas in the vicinity and it's
better not to inspect, even. People who turn around and
really inspect things are very often amongst the wounded
and dead. So what - what are you going to do?

It means, that when you speed up things in the universe to
too great a degree, on the false basis that you are "prone
to nonsurvival," but in the interest of keeping something
surviving, you are then going to run into this timeless
reactivity of action without inspection. Infinite
dedications to the survival of forms and patterns.

This is why Goals SOP works so beautifully and why, when
you start to take goals off somebody, they start nulling.
You think offhand, "Well, gee whiz, I'm taking all this
fellow's goals away from him," you see, or something of
that sort. Well, you're auditing the wrong target. You're
auditing the guy.

Now, of course, you're actually auditing toward the guy in
order to free him up from reactivity. So there - actually
your auditing target is the reactive mind. That is your
auditing target, not the pc.

And as long as you go on busily auditing a thetan, called
a pc, exclusively - as the thing which monitors what you're
doing - you're going to continue to make mistakes and not
clear people. That's all.

Because you never look at what's wrong with him. You're
only auditing what he knows. The only thing wrong with him
is what he doesn't know and what he doesn't know is totally
contained in the reactive mind and there is no inspection
involved. So he can't see what is wrong with him and if he
could see what was wrong with him, it wouldn't be wrong,
would it?

All right. A lot of things stem out of this. First and
foremost, you think that a reaction, probably, to your
question may take place in the next several minutes. You
sit and look at an E-Meter and wait for it to react. And,
of course, the reaction which you have to wait for is
something the pc knows. And the reaction which you get
instantly is in the reactive mind. And it'll occur in
something on the order of a tenth or even a hundredth of
a second.

It starts to occur instantly that you enunciate it. Because
you're more in control and more able to restimulate the
reactive mind than the thetan whose reactive mind it is.
Why? Because every time it's restimulated, it blanks
something out. The no-inspection factor arises.

Well, you're not being blanked out by his reactive mind. So
therefore, you can think on these subjects, and he can't.
Unless you have a total case duplicate between the auditor
and the pc, the auditor can always see more of what is
going on than the pc can.

You take in a pc's adjudication or what a pc thinks about
something as any indicator of what you ought to do - at any
time - and you, of course, are always going to waste auditing
time and you're always going to do the wrong thing.
Inevitably and invariably, it'll be the wrong thing.

If you want to do all the wrong things, then listen to the
pc. Because he's under a tyrannical dictatorship, known as
the reactive mind, which knows best because it now has in
it all the individualities which he has tried to make
survive and all of them know best. So one of his basic
goals, although he knows it's very bad for him, is to make
his reactive mind survive.

So even though this fellow will sit down and be audited,
this is peculiar and the peculiarity which resolves around
this. He won't let you near any part of the reactive mind
that ought to be audited - gluah-gluah-gluahgluah - because
those parts are the survivals. So it dictates that he let
them survive. So, he'll always throw you red herring.

And after you've accumulated several warehouses full of red
herring, you have also wasted an enormous amount of
auditing time, because you've never audited anything that
should have been audited on the case and you've permitted
to survive everything that should have been audited out of
the case, don't you see?

You listen to the pc, you listen to the pc, about what's
flat or what should be run, or what he thinks about the
situation and that's just  -write it over here in the loss
column of auditing, for you. Got nothing to do with the
case. Nothing!

You can almost go on the basis, if he says this is what the
score is, your immediate reaction can be that is certainly
what it isn't, aside from this basis of goals and checks
against the E-Meter.

Now, the E-Meter can read the case. Why? Because everything
that is surviving madly, to be computed and go into action
without inspection, even though it doesn't apply anymore -
.. You see, things like this can go into action: If you
go around and inspect things and turn around and look when
you're running from a stricken field, you normally get
speared. So therefore, it's very, very bad to look at the
things that are pursuing you. So you mustn't look at the
things which are pursuing you. So you had better prevent
the auditor from equally getting in danger by looking at
the things that are pursuing you. Something of that sort
comes up. There are all sorts of crisscross computations
involved here.

But you're going on avoiding what is wrong with the pc
quite unintentionally. What's wrong with him registers on
the meter, but not on the person. It'll register on him
secondarily.

Now, you can actually get something to register on the
meter, which then the person finds out about. And then you
get another reaction on the machine.

Have you seen this happen? You say "gooseberries," and the
machine says "tick," and then you get a surge of some kind
or another. What's that all about? Well, the tick; you
found it in the reactive mind. The surge; the pc found out
about it.

Well, you go on assessing for surges and running surges, of
course, you're just going on auditing what's already known.
See, you're just wasting time.

Now, if the pc doesn't find out about it after the tick,
you better audit it. Got it?

Now, there's another thing which makes this difficult and
which has obscured your clear view of it and that is just
this one little terrible factor. Withholdingness is
important in auditing today because it happens to be the
comm bridge between the reactive mind and the pc. And when
a withhold comes out of the reactive mind, the pc
momentarily - or rather continuously - withholds, too.

In other words, he does what the reactive mind tells him to
do. So therefore, if the reactive mind is withholding
something, it comes to the surface, the pc will instantly
withhold it.

So you ask somebody, "Have you ever stolen any chickens?"
And the thing goes "tick." Only you didn't really see the
first tick to amount to anything and then it goes wha-a-m!

And then you say, "Well, did you ever steal any chickens?"
and it now goes wha-a-m, and will continue going wham. He's
now under orders from the reactive mind to withhold.

Well now, withholdingness is part and parcel of survival.
All agencies of the law, everybody else, dramatize this
rather astonishing fact. What is the fellow doing when he
is trying to protect himself by running from a stricken
field? He is withholding a body from the enemy, isn't he?
He's withholding a form.

Now, the withhold of the form, the withhold of the form,
the withhold of the form, from destruction, don't you see,
is a nonduplication. You kill somebody, they're dead, but
the form you've got isn't dead. So therefore, you have to
withhold the form you've got from duplicating the form that
is dead, don't you see?

So, similarly, somebody threatens to kill you, you are very
likely to threaten to kill them. Duplication is quite
active, you see? But if somebody tried to kill you and you
killed them, during that whole period of your killing them,
you'd have to hold your form from being killed - do you see
this? - which, of course, sets the mechanics going for
survival. And that, actually, is prior to the actual idea
of surviving, is withholding a form. Or you could say
surviving is coincident with it - whichever way you want
to figure it out. But withholding a form and surviving are
blood brothers. So withhold a form - you find the pc then
withholding thought.

And the common denominator of the actions of the reactive
mind are withhold, which we see as only-one, chronic
individuation. There are just factors, factors, factors,
factors that we've added up through Scientology. All of
which amount to withholding oneself, withholding one's
thoughts, withholding one's actions, and all of these
things add up. Why?

Because they're a dictate from the matter of survival and
are probably - they're probably prior to survival and with
survival and after survival. And there's that little comm
bridge and the comm bridge between the reactive mind and
the pc is withhold. So what the reactive mind is
withholding, if you click it, the pc now withholds. He
dramatizes the reactive mind.

When he decides to give this up, he has conquered the
reactive mind to that degree in that he's not following its
orders. He ceases to be controlled by the reactive mind and
starts to be controlled by a living being. So therefore, he
feels better when he gets withholds off. This is the
mechanics of it, don't you see. Because the withholds add
up to keeping him separated from the human race and when he
gets the withhold off, he rejoins it to that degree. See
how it stacks up?

So, the pc can always be counted upon to dramatize the
withhold after it's been dredged out of the reactive mind.
Even for an instant, if only for an instant, he'll still
dramatize it. So you get a click and then you get a fall.
And if you're not being terribly observant, you will see
only the hard, large fall. That's when the pc knew about
it, don't you see? Actually, the click was there instantly.
But now the pc knows about it.

Well, the secondary action is not to get the withhold off
the pc but to keep the pc from dramatizing his reactive
mind. So we say, "What was that?" and if he doesn't tell
us, why, he just is going on dramatizing this "withhold it,
withhold it, withhold it." And eventually he says, "Well,
maybe I'll take a very adventurous step and not do what I
am always told to do and I will tell this auditor what it
is," and pow, then it goes clean on the meter.

So at the state of withhold, you've got a pc who is
reactive. The pc himself, as an analytical being, is being
reactive. But that is the crossroads and that's the only
point where he is being. You got that? Otherwise, he's
talking to you fairly straight, or at the dictates of the
reactive mind.

Early in a case, particularly, if you kept on auditing the
pc, you would be something like auditing a light bulb
because you wanted to fix the generators in a power station.

Now, you can go on auditing this light bulb and it'll blink
and flicker, and you'll say, "Gee, look what all I'm
doing." Then all of a sudden there's a horrendous crash
someplace, and it goes out; and you say, "Well, I failed."

Well, naturally, you're going to fail. You're auditing a
light bulb and you're trying to fix the generators in the
main power plant. Well, the thing to do is to go down to
the main power plant and fix the generators. And this tells
you the name and address, not only of the power plant, but
it also tells you very distinctly which generator and it
tells you every part on the generator and its means of
propulsion.

As long as you fly with your E-Meter flat, you're all right
and if you start flying with the pc flat, you're just going
on auditing light bulbs. So, it's just going to take
forever to clear somebody. That's all.

I'll give you an example. Now, all of this is highly
theoretical up to this point, but let me give you a very
practical example.

Now, we're running this Prehav Scale assessment. All right.
I'll show you how to waste time in auditing, see, real
good. This is the way you can burn it up and audit those
light bulbs and everything is wonderful. See?

And you say, "Well, do you have faith in things? Thank you."

You get how much time that consumes, just watching the
E-Meter, just watching the E-Meter, watching the E-Meter?
What are you looking for? Are you waiting for it to play
"Dixie?" Because there isn't anything else going to happen.

No. You look here at your list, and you see "Faith." You
don't say "Faith." You take your eyeballs and you fix them
on the needle, very closely, because it's going to happen fast.

And you say, not "Is the square root of the common
denominator of the differential of faith?" You don't waste
all that time. You say, "Now, I'm going to say some lines
here, some levels. And maybe ask you some questions about
them and you don't have to answer me. You don't have to say
a thing. Just sit there and be comfortable. All right.
That's fine. Thank you very much. Now we're going ahead
with this assessment. Okay."

"Faith. Cause. No Effect. Effect. Obsessive can't-have.
Create. Think. Peculiar interest."

Now look, if you're sitting here doing this: "Uh - Faith -
.." Well, you remind me of a small boy the day after the
race, waiting for the horses to go by, you know.

It's not only that. It's - I'm not talking to you just
about missing the flick on the needle. I'm talking to you
about expecting a significant flick on the needle after
you've asked the thing, a half a second later. If there's
not going to be any flick on the needle, there is - ...

Now you're going to see this kind of a thing occasionally.
There's a flick on the needle and then - clong! - there's
a drop. Well, the flick on the needle is the reactivity,
that's what you're looking for. So there's a clong. Okay.

In a Joburg Security Check, you'd better say, "What was
that?" Because you've got another activity going now.
You're not doing an assessment by the Joburg. You've got
that - "Have you ever stolen chickens?"

And you ask them, "Have you ever stolen chickens?" And
nothing happens. And you say, "Well, okay, have you ever
stolen chickens?" You suspected maybe there was a flick
there, the first time. Maybe it was - couldn't see it,
maybe. You ask him a second time, you get click and then,
surge! And you say, "What was that?" He knows about it now.
The click-surge routine has put it from the reactivity into
the analytical sphere.

Now, to keep the pc himself from dramatizing reactivity,
you've got to get him to tell it to you. But it hasn't
anything to do with the assessment of the question as to
whether or not the question's hot.

Now, you get something that's actively being withheld from
you and it doesn't wait after you say, "What was that?" to
go click again. You say, "Have you ever stolen any
chickens?" Wham! "Have you ever stolen any chickens?" Wham!
"Have you ever stolen any chickens?" Wham! "Have you ever
stolen any chickens?" Wham! And you say, "Brother, you'd
better tell me about that." Of course, you are actually
assuming that, by this time, he knows about it. Well,
really, he does.

Of course, I conduct Security Checks much differently than
you do. You're very happy to go along and buy garbage. You
ask a guy a question. You say to him, "Have you ever raped
any chickens?" And - whatever the question is.

And he says, "Well - ," and you notice there's a flick on
the meter, and all of a sudden it does a surge. You say,
"What was that?" See, he knows by now; the surge says he
does.

You're no longer assessing the reactivity of the question.
Now you're assessing the knowingness of the pc. But you've
got to get it off. It's another operation. Now that you've
got it out of the reactive mind to him, now you've got to
get it from him to you.

So you say, "What was that?"

And he says, "Well, I remember my father killing chickens
when I was a little boy."

And you say, "All right. All right." You say, "Have you
ever raped any chickens?"

But I don't say that. That's your notion. I believe these
things. I believe these meters, see. I've used them long
enough to be made very, very tame by the whole thing, you
know? I know what to say, and when to say so.

I say, "Well, did you ever rape any chickens?" Click. Boom.
I say, "What was that?"

And he says, "Well, my father - uh - my father uh - uh -
used to kill a lot of chickens - used to kill a lot of
chicken."

I say, "No, no." I'd say, "You didn't hear the question.
Did you - you - ever rape any chickens?"

"Oh, well," he says, "Yes. If you put it that way, yes. I
used to when I was a little boy."

You don't do it that way. You haven't been doing it that
way at all. You say, "Did you ever rape any chickens?"

He says, "My father killed some chickens one time."

"Well, good, did you ever rape any chickens?" and the meter
falls and you say, "Well, what was that?"

And he says, "Well, I was just thinking about chickens
hanging up in the market and that was what that was."

In other words, you keep buying this, buying this, buying
this, buying this, buying this, buying this. You get the
idea? You're actually building the pc's belief up that he
can withhold things from you.

So I say - I say very meanly - ... I don't necessarily advise
you to do this because you can get into a lot of trouble this
way. You've got to have terrific control of the pc in order
to do this kind of thing. He's really got to be grooved in.
Otherwise, you create ARC breaks, and the rest of the
session is all messed up and you get nothing done anyplace,
anywhere, at any time.

So that's your adjudicative idea. How much control have you
got of this PC and how much control have you got of the
session? And if your control is terrific, and your ARC with
the pc is very good and the pc knows what you're trying to
do and he knows he can't fool you, you eventually get a
Security Check going like this:

You've started in this way. You said, "Well, did you ever
rape any chickens?"

And he said, "Well, no. My father killed some once. And
uh-well, I saw a dog jump on a chicken."

The next time you ask him, you know, "Did you ever kill any
chickens?"

And he says, "Well, I - I - no."

"Did you ever rape any chickens?"

And "Where - wuh - I dunno. Uh, yes. Uh, yes, I remember
something about chickens. It was little boys talking about
chickens one time."

And you say, "Good. Good. Fine. Good. Did you ever rape any
chickens?"

And he says, "Well, I thought about it once."

And you say, "Good. Thank you. Fine." Your meter's falling,
falling, falling. You're just wasting time, wasting time,
wasting time.

Well, if you're real good, you don't go at it this way at
all. You say, "Did you ever rape any chickens?" And you get
a click-fall! Surge!

And you say, "What was that?"

And he says, "Well, I was just thinking about, uh - mmmm -
I was just thinking about - uh - I was thinking about my
father used to kill some chickens."

You say, "No, no, no, no. I asked you, 'Did you ever rape
any chickens?'"

"Well, actually, my little sister - ..."

"No, no, come on, come on, come on, come on, did you, you,
you ever rape any chickens? That's what I'm trying to find
out here."

He says, "Yeah, yes. I used to when I was a little boy."

You say, "Good. Did you ever rape any chickens? All right,
it's clear now. Good. Next question." Get the idea?

And he all of a sudden has got the horrifying notion that
there - you just aren't going to buy dodges, that's all. Coo!
He has met a tartar and the reactive mind after that is no
longer as powerful.

The reactive mind says, "Protect it." Says, "It's a
withhold. It's valuable. You're in danger. Give him an
equivocation." Got the idea? "Feed him some muck over here,
and throw him a red herring and protect me."

So I just say, "It says here that rape of chickens - ..."
I think - I think even Suzie has heard me say questions like
this. "It says here that rape of chickens has occurred. Now
supposing you tell me about it, huh?"

"Yes." That's the end of that security question. Got the idea?

So it goes off: Boom! Question-bang! Question-bang!
Question-bang! You see? Get the idea? You ask the question,
see the fall. You notice there's a secondary surge. Now you
do the other thing. Say, "Tell me."

The reactive mind says, "Under no circumstances tell him.
Withhold, withhold, withhold, withhold." And I say - I say,
"All right, but you can tell me."

And all of a sudden, the pc says, "He believes in me, one
way or the other and I'll tell him right here, right now."
Bang! And he tells you and the needle clears. And you ask
the question again just to make sure. And then you ask the
next question and then you're sailing, you understand?

Goals - you don't ask a goal - ... "I want to pick
gooseberries" is the goal that you're checking. You come
down the line, find this thing and you say, "Well, now I'm
going to ask you about a goal here." (You've already run
through 200 goals, see.) "I'm going to ask you about a goal
here and I don't want you to think I'm terribly personal,
but I want to know if this goal is - I want to know if this
goal is still active."

"The goal is - is it all right if I read it to you? All
right - uh, okay. Well, I'm going to read it to you now. You
want to pick gooseberries. How's that? Now, let's see. Now
let's see what it's saying over here on the meter."

Boy, that's the way to burn auditing time man. You're going
down the list. No preliminaries. No nothing. You just say,
"I want to pick gooseberries. I want to ride horses." You
got the idea? You got the list over here. You've got the
meter in front of you. What you really do is you look at
the goals list. It says, "I want to pick gooseberries." You
don't read it there. You delay your own read of it. You
look over here at the meter and you say, "I want to pick
gooseberries," and it goes flamp.

You say, "Good. I want to pick gooseberries" - flamp. "Good.
I want to pick gooseberries" - it's going more now. You say,
"Good. Thank you." Mark it here. Two divisions. Go to the
next goal.

"I want to ride horses." Nothing there. "I want to ride
horses." Nothing there. No. Next goal. Got the idea?

If you watched me doing this stuff, you'd think you were
looking at a sausage grinder. You just chew right up, see,
right on down the line.

Well, the longer you suppose that a pc is going to be
adjudicative - it - about it at all or his adjudicativity
proves only that he reacts according to the dictates of a
tyrant known as the reactive mind in order to protect and
not disclose the valences in other activities which exist
without his inspection, so that he, as a form, can survive
and it doesn't work out. You can't go at it that way at all.

No, I - I talk with the E-Meter about the fellow's circuits
and if he wants to chip in once in a while, that's all
right with me. That's - it's okay - I won't chop him. He'll
say, "Well, I just - I just remembered something. I just
remembered about riding a horse across a field as a little
boy, and the horse picked up a stone - ..." And I say, well,
here we go and I say, "Gee, is that so? Thank you."

And at first he begins to believe I couldn't possibly be
auditing him. Well, I'm not. I'm finding out what's - what's
holding the show up here. I'm finding out what he's
reacting to. I'm finding out what is there to react in
terms of matter, energy, space, time and thoughts - which
are all crisscrossed in one way or the other and suspended
in time - so that a thought two billion years old is still
being violently thought in this person's mind. Why?

This person is perfectly capable of inspecting. This person
can't do otherwise than survive. This person is capable of
being totally able. This person can get the show on the
road. This person can actually make form survive. But
because he's got all these dependent mechanisms and
goo-gahs and things of this character and a reactive mind
to help him out and pat him on the back and make it
unnecessary; he acts like a nut and he destroys everything
he lays his hands on. Well, don't you think it's about time
you straightened it out?

Well, all right. It'd be easy to straighten it out. All you
have to do is validate the pc. That's for sure. After
you've cut him to ribbons, why, look up and say, "Well,
you're doing all right. Thank you very much," you know?

But you can saw into these assessments with a whir and a
clank, with your eye pinned right there to the needle and
away you go; and you go right on down the line,
bangety-bangety-bangety-bangety-bang. It's like telegraph
poles passing by when you're riding in a train, you know?

And it isn't, "Well, here we are. Well, well. Isn't this
unusual? Now I'm going to consult with you all about your
reactive mind. Now what do you think you possibly might be
having to run now? What do you think that might be?" Well,
you're talking to the wrong telephone line. You've got it
hooked into the wrong - you might have it in the right
switchboard, but you sure got it in the wrong corner of the
building.

Now, there's an example in this bulletin of a - of an
assessment that could have been bought, merely because the
pc believed it and you were getting cognition curves - surges
off of it, see? It could have been bought. I didn't say
that the auditor would have bought it or anything of the
sort. But there was another one that was alive. And these
were "order," "command" and "conquer," and that "conquer"
was alive, man; and that's what I was looking for on the
case. I said, we've missed something here, someplace.
Somewhere along the line we have missed one and that's why
I wanted to assess the case.

And this person was perfectly agreeable and knew completely
that it was "order" or "command." But these were the little
red tabs that were hanging out and they cleared up. And it
was one the pc didn't mention.

Now the pc did report - because he's in pretty good shape -
as I was doing the assessment (which I was still taking just
the E-Meter). He said, "I just keep thinking about control.
I keep thinking about control."

I said, "That's fine. That's fine." That's cooperative
data. You're being helped by the pc, but I bought the
E-Meter. I went over everything and settled everything down
and it was "Control" so I bought it. You got the idea? I
didn't buy it because he said so. But he helped me out by
saying that.

He could just as easily have been throwing a great big red
herring across the path, too. It - it - he might have said,
"My - you know, sort of down deep someplace, the one thing I
don't want to have anything to do with is Failed Importance."

See, a reactivity, you know? So, he just as likely would
have said, "Well, it's 'Connect.' I'm sure it's 'Connect.'
"Got the idea? "If I can just tell him convincingly enough
that it's 'Connect' - ..."

You don't find pcs doing this when they're in better
condition, but when they're in worse condition, they will
do this continually. "It's 'Connect'! It obviously is
'Connect'!" He's trying desperately, reactively, not to get
anywhere near Failed Importance.

When a pc starts getting too insistent that it is something
and is practically screaming that it is something, I know
very well what's happening. The mechanics and the - all of
the various little wheels and so forth, that are going
around are adding up just this: There is something here
that we had better not put our number-tens in, because it's
quicksand, and it'll go straight through.

Somebody tells me, "Well, I don't want to run this level
anymore. This level's boring and I don't want anything more
to do with this level" and - and all of that kind of thing.
I say, "How interesting! Isn't that fascinating!"

Of course, I'm perfectly reasonable about it. I don't get
militant on the subject. I say, "Has the pc got a
withhold?" which is very likely running these things these
days. As I told you the withhold is the bridge between the
reactive mind and the analytical mind. So of course, pc
picks up a withhold; half an hour later, you find the pc
with an ARC break.

That's, by the way, the way it goes. They get the withhold
on the auditor and the auditor misses it and then they'll
pick up an ARC break; and then the auditor will try to cure
up the ARC break when in fact, it's this withhold back here
half an hour earlier.

All ARC breaks, by the way, for your information, usually
occur a half an hour before they're expressed by the pc. If
you're sharp, you can always see that an ARC break has
occurred.

But earlier than that, if you're very sharp, you can see
that a withhold occurs and you just bust into your auditing
command and say, "Now how are you doing? How's it going?
How's it going now? All right. Haven't got any ARC breaks?"
(You're not looking for an ARC break, see?) "Withholding
anything?" Clang!

You say, "What was that?"

"Well, I haven't answered the auditing question for ten commands."

"Oh," you say, "all right. Give me ten answers." You don't
necessarily say that, but you sure as hell could and I've
been known to do things like that. Anyhow.

What you're trying to do is keep the pc from being fooled
about himself and if you are in a continuous, consecutive,
forever and ever avoidance of the reactive mind, you're
just Q-and-Aing with the pc.

You'll eventually wind up doing something like this; and
this is the ne plus ultra of Q-and-A: You're doing a
Joburg. All right. You say, "Now, have you ever thrown any
rings around chimneys?" And the pc says - you've gotten your
click and then your surge.

See, very often on an assessment you get a good read, which
then disappears. Well, actually it was just the cognition
surge. When the energy released, you know, that was
withholding it from the pc and the pc found out about it
and so on, of course, you get a needle response. But it's
usually after the fact of the needle reaction on the
reactive mind. That "after the fact" is the pc finding out,
see? So these latent surges that you get on the E-Meter are
analytical, ordinarily.

All right. He says, "Well, yes, yes. Mm-hm, I've thrown
some rings around chimneys. I threw a ring around a chimney
when I was a little girl. Uhm - I- I did. I - I did that.
And um - my grandmother was very cross with me about it."

I'm showing you a Q-and-A now, see? And you say, "Good. Why
exactly was your grandmother cross with you?"

And she says, "Well, I'd been very bad and I treated my
grandmother very badly," or something like this.

And the auditor says, "Well, just where was that? Where did
you live at the time?"

What the hell does this have to do with a Joburg, see? It's
got nothing to do with a Joburg. It's trying to run an
incident with using the excuse of the Joburg. The Joburg is
totally dedicated to withholds. And that's everything it's
dedicated to. And there isn't anything else it's dedicated
to. And you want to know if he threw any rings around chimneys.

And he finally - you - you said, "You throw any ring around
chimneys?" You get a clink, surge! You say, "What was that?"

And he says, "Well, I - as a matter of fact I did. I - I did.
I did, yes. I - I just remembered. I - I did. I threw some
rings around chimneys when I was a little boy."

And you say, "Good. Throw any other rings around chimneys?"
Clang! And you say, "Good. Well, what was that?"

"Well, when I was a young man I used to do it all the time."

And you say, "Good. Now, did you ever throw any rings
around chimneys?" Clink. Just a little clink on it that
time and then a surge. And you say, "What was that?"

And he says, "Whewww! Well, I actually didn't mean to get
down to this, but every night about midnight I have to go
up and throw a ring around the chimney. And I - that's it."

And you say, "All right. Thank you very much. Good. Now,
did you ever throw any rings around chimneys?" Deader than
mackerel. Next question.

See, you're just interested in withholds and you're just
interested in that question.

Now, you'll get some oddball ramifications on questions.
You get some oddball ones where he's got everything
connected with everything connected with everything. You
understand?

If you don't get any instantaneous response, you're not
getting a response on that question. Why are you fooling
with the question?

Now the order is, clear the E-Meter. But what is the
E-Meter and what is the E-Meter doing that you must clear?
Well, the E-Meter is responding. What is the E-Meter
responding on? The E-Meter is responding on a reactivity.
If you haven't got a reactivity, to hell with it. Because
the second time you ask the question, if the pc now knows
it analytically, you'll have it reactive anyhow. It'll be
an instant read.

If you're not getting instant reads, or something - the pc
is dawdling around and walking over the hills and so forth -
of course, I will go ahead and clean up a meter on a question
rather thoroughly. But it isn't necessarily falling on the
question, if you're getting a latent surge all the time.

You say, "Did you ever throw any ring around chimneys?" And
2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and surge. You
say, "What was that?"

"Well, I don't know. It's sort of escaped my mind now."

Oh! This is not the time to say, "What has escaped your
mind? Did your grandmother spank you that day? What was the
color of your brother's hair?"

No, this is not the time. The time to say that is the
original question. It turned on and will become kind of a
response after a while, so let's ask the original question,
whatever it was. "You ever done any illicit diamond buying?"

And watch that meter. And if it doesn't go snap, that isn't
- it isn't falling on that. In other words, your E-Meter
actions are as instantaneous as the reactive mind is batty.
You got it? They're fast! See? They're right now!

Of course, if you get any kind of a fall of any kind
whatsoever, even a latent fall, you had better find out
what it is by asking, "What was that?" But that is pursued
by asking the question again and if you don't get a fall on
the question, why are you interested in the latent fall?

You can go ahead and clear it up if you want to - it's a good
workmanlike job if you do - but that isn't necessarily what's
going on here at all. There's something else going on
someplace.

Well, you're doing the thing of trying to read the question
to the pc and then trying to clear the rest of the Security
Check as a sideline. It clears one question at a time and
if it doesn't fall on that question, it doesn't fall on the
question.

When is the fall going to occur on that question? Well, it
might not occur on your first read, but that's beside the
point. It'll certainly occur instantly on your second read.
Instantaneous. Within a tenth of a second of your having
uttered the question, there will be a reaction on the
meter; and if there's not a reaction on the meter, but a
latent reaction that is finally going bthooong, after
several seconds or something like this, yeah, the pc is
withholding something of some kind or another about
something. But look-a-here, it's not necessarily on that
question at all. And that's the mistake you're making.
You see?

You can actually read a Joburg off - brtrtrtrtrtrtrt - right
on down through all ten pages, you see and take instantaneous
falls. Plang! "What was that?"

"Nuhhhh, yes, I did."

You say, "Good. Thank you." Repeat the question. No reaction.

Now, if you sat there and waited for the E-Meter to play
"Dixie," you might get a fall on almost anything, see. You
might get a fall on the fact that he was getting bored,
that he was getting tired, that he hopes he doesn't find
out. He knows the Joburg. He's had it about four times and
he knows there's a question coming right up on the next
page that is hotter than a pistol and he's guilty as sin.

Actually, he's never thought of it before, but it just
suddenly occurred to him that it wasn't quite the right
thing to do to hit his father and mother on the head with
an axe and it's just occurred to him, like a flash of
lightning on the head and the question that has to do with
this is on the next page!

So you've read the question. Now, the pc gets to worrying
about the next page and you get an answer in the meter
here, which is reading the surge of the pc. You got the
idea? It isn't on that question.

The law is, if you don't get an instantaneous reaction on
the meter, there's something wrong with the question. It
isn't the answer to that question.

If you get any kind of a reaction on the meter at all, you
ask the question again, of course. If you don't get a
reaction on the second time, it still isn't it. Don't sit
there and wait for it to play "Dixie." You don't have to
hang around on the street corners, leaning up against the
lamppost, hoping something is going to happen! The town
you're operating in isn't that one-horse. If you want
things to happen in auditing, do them rapidly so that you
do get something happening and you'll get something
happening, with speed.

So your assessments do not take in the zone and area of the
pc's analytical mind, unless, of course the pc is being
very resistive. Now, he's being very resistive about a
withhold; well, that's between you and the pc. You got the
idea? That's another operation. Has nothing to do with
finding it on the meter or anything of the sort. It's still
on the meter. You've found it. Now it is reacting on the
pc. Well, you just say, "Stand and deliver. What is it?"

And you could go on and clear eighty-nine other questions
with the pc, of one character or another, but it isn't
falling on the one you're asking. You got the idea? So
clear what you're doing.

Now similarly, on an assessment, it requires no cooperation
on the part of the pc at all. Actually, the pc could be
walking around the room, if he could do that and hold on to
the electrodes and if you were speaking loud enough, the pc
would hear, reactively, what you were saying, because it's
dangerous, and you'd get a reaction on the meter.

And you think you have to wait for the pc to think about it
or the pc to rationalize about it. That's not true. You
don't want anything to do with that. It's very - it's a very
happy fact that he can still think. We're glad he's still
alive. Cheerio! But that's about all it has anything to do
with it and nothing else has anything to do with it.

All right. I've given you a very long lecture today as I am
prone to do, and should start them earlier on Fridays. But
I've been studying for some time why it takes so long for
something to happen and I've now done enough observation
that I can tell you, that it isn't a slight thing of
speeding you up so that your actions are more coordinated
or something. It's gross! You're auditing the wrong target.

See you're auditing the pc's analytical sphere of action
and that isn't what you should be auditing at all. You're
supposed to be auditing the reactive sphere. As long as
you're auditing the reactive sphere, it shows up only on
the meter and it shows up instantaneously; and that's what
you bite. Right away - pang! And you get the job done.

Now, I'm not asking you to rush. I don't care how leisurely
you go about the job of auditing, but just audit the right
target, which is the reactive bank of the pc - Dianetics:
