SHSpec-67 Out Tech




6509C21 SHSpec-67 Out Tech

     [References:  HCOB 13Sep65 "Out Tech and How to Get It In" and HCOB
21Sep65 "Out Tech".]

     Teachers tend to say that everything is important.  We are in a good
position to select out the important data from all the data that we have.
Someone at the HAS level can't do this.  To him, every datum looks as
important as every other datum.  The guy at the bottom of the ladder is
drowning in a sea of data that is unevaluated.  This is true both in life and
in scientology.  The person is already overwhelmed with the confusions of
life, which also overwhelm him with data.  So he goes on a retreat from the
whole thing.  The hardest thing a thetan has to do, and "the most important
thing that a thetan can recover is his ability to evaluate importances: [to
know] what's important and what isn't."

     The value of administration of processing is a different thing from what
is processed.  The duplicative question, which is basic to auditing, is "the
examination of the mind for the apparent answer to the question; the knocking
out, then, of this, that, and the other thing, until the individual can take a
look at it and see before him some data that is important."  The repetitive
process itself is therapeutic.  Repetitive processes "permit the individual to
examine his mind and environment and, out of it, [to] select the unimportances
and importances."  The duplicative question is unique to scientology.  Other
things work because of this duplicative action.  Moreover, to find out what is
important and unimportant, the person has to find out what is and what isn't.
He would get a great clarification of things, because he is being presented
with certain vistas of existence and conditions of existence, and he is
examining them, and he is taking them in, or he is knocking them out.  He is
handling existence and reorienting himself.

     Someone can get things clarified by getting more data about life from
study.  However, as he does this, he is straightening up his own mind, and his
real gain, when the chips are all the way down, largely depends on the
auditor.  Someone who is drowning in the sea of life gets a repetitive command
from an auditor and as-ises various confusions.  The PC's statements on the
question are handled and as-ised.  Those statements are then acknowledged by
the auditor, making a full cycle of the situation.  Only then can the PC get
up to a point where he himself might, all by himself, confront his own mind.
Only when he's got his mind straightened out can he really benefit from new
data.  He's got his own mind



                                      742

and life so mixed up that he has completely forgotten what a mind is all
about, and in a large majority of cases, people aren't even aware that they
have minds.  At best, they think that they are minds, and perhaps that they
have souls.  Saving oneself seems too egoistical, so one saves one's soul.

     Man is at effect.  He looks for the one-shot clear, or "enlightenment"."
It's not that scientology is slow.  It's that Man has gone so far down.  "But
the big gains aren't so much at the top.  They are at the bottom -- getting
started.  These gains are startling.  Just getting the idea that there is a
road out can be a big win.  The individual has had a lot of loses on this
line.  To him, scientology is like a straw in the ocean.  Helped by an
auditor, the person can look at himself and life and make more gains.  It is a
lone ladder, contrary to the general idea and desire for a fast way to the
top.  The person makes his first real gains on coming to realize that there is
a road out.

     So there is a dependency on:

     1.  The disseminator.

     2.  The intro lecturer.

     3.  The course supervisor.

They all perform vital functions, and they can produce more dramatic results
than you would ever expect, being used to auditing as the way to get changes.
The changes on the chart are made in session, but the biggest mistake you
could make would be not teaching scientology and not disseminating.

     People in society are very confused and distracted.  One of the soundest
ways to reach them is to talk about communication and telling them that
scientology exists and, as their friend, is interested in helping them.  You
tell a person that if he could communicate to his environment better, he could
handle it better.  You tell him that if he were to talk to his wife, it would
come out better.  The only dicey thing there, is that he has been punished,
perhaps, for communicating, so it might be difficult along the way.

     Dissemination and teaching lines can be a bit wobbly, but if the
individual makes some gains, he will still do OK.  But auditing lines can't
afford to be wobbly.  When the person gets to auditing, that is where there is
no room for shakiness or flubbiness.  Now, tech is tech.  The comm cycle has
to be good.  The questions have to be understood by and acceptable to the PC.
They must also be answered [and acknowledged].  Up to the point of getting the
person in session, it is debatable exactly what the correct technical action
(in disseminating to him) is, because you are disseminating into such a
confusion: life as it exists.  It is still debatable what it is best to
lecture to people about.  A common denominator is that lecturing about
communication is a good idea.  But auditing isn't debatable.  It works with
precision, if it is applied with precision.  There must be no GAE's in
auditing.  There is leeway in dissemination but not in auditing, which must be
standard.  All troubles in auditing stem from auditor goofs.  So don't butter
up a nattery PC.  Pull his withholds.

     The ability to observe and tell whether what is being done is right or
wrong is harder to do in auditing than in disseminating or in course
supervising.  The auditor can make tiny mistakes that upset the PC, so that
the PC acts up.  The casual observer would say that it is a difficult PC, when
in fact it was auditor goofs.  You have to be a good auditor to observe good
and bad auditing.  You will get some gain (30% to 40%, of potential) even out
of bad auditing



                                      743

just by duplicative questions and by the fact that someone is interested in
the PC.  However, full gain only comes from precise right auditing.

     What we mean by "out tech" is "not getting the whole, 100% gains
available on every PC," not just obvious goofs.  Out tech is what is happening
when the fine points of auditing are missing and when what really goes wrong
with cases is not understood.  When there is out tech, the auditor is, to be
sure, sitting there giving the auditing command, but he is making lots of
goofs with it.

     What does it take to make a good auditor?  First, we have the GAE's [See
HCOB 21Sep65 "Out Tech"].  There are only five GAE's:

     1.  Can't handle and read the E-meter.  He doesn't see reads.  He
         overcompensates when bringing the TA back to Set, giving falsely
         large amounts of TA action.

     2.  Doesn't know and can't apply technical data.  This used to be "Can't
         read and apply an HCOB."  This also includes non-duplication of CS's
         and not knowing that you haven't done what you were supposed to have
         done.

     3.  Can't get or keep a PC in session.  This is very often the case.  The
         PC's attention is on something other than the auditing.  You have to
         be able to see when the PC is not in session, distracted, etc.  There
         is a little body of technology in this area.  You have to get the
         PC's attention by finding out what it is on and as-ising it.  Note
         and find the ARC break, PTP, or missed withhold, and handle it.  The
         auditor who would try to audit a PC whose attention is elsewhere is
         applying tech to nobody.  The most obvious and silly version of this
         mistake is where no one got the PC an auditor, despite the PC wanting
         and having paid for auditing.  Or the auditor is so wedded to form
         that when the PC comes in already in session, the auditor carefully
         takes the PC out of session, in order to start the session!

     4.  Can't complete an auditing cycle.  This accounts for the PC who itsas
         obsessively.  This PC has been prematurely acknowledged in life or in
         auditing, and this has happened so much that he feels as though he
         has never been acknowledged.  E.g. a kid says, "Mommy, I just had a
         great idea ... ," whereupon Mommy says, "That's wonderful, dear."
         Failed acknowledgment and a host of other errors will also give rise
         to obsessive itsa, such as not asking the question, not
         acknowledging, Q and A, etc.  There are hundreds of ways to stop an
         auditing cycle.  One is not to start one, as when the auditor just
         doesn't give the command.  The auditor can always polish up his comm
         cycle and make it better, but when it is fouling up the PC, it is
         grossly out, with Q and A, no question, no ack, etc.

     5.  Can't complete a repetitive auditing cycle.  Auditors used to have
         immense trouble just asking the same question repetitively.  The TR's
         and Op Pro by Dup were developed to handle this inability in
         auditors.

As an auditing supervisor, these are the things to look for, not aspects of
the auditor's case.  Don't audit the auditor, as a first action.  After you
find the GAE, maybe the auditor could be audited, say, on his missed
withholds.



                                      744

     There are really only four [actually six] things that can be wrong with a
PC:

     1.  The PC is suppressive.  A suppressive is someone who doesn't get case
         gain, because he has continuing overts, not because auditing wasn't
         applied well.  Only about 2 1/2% of PCs are suppressive.  It is very
         hard to get this PC to give up the overts or to be made auditable for
         real case gain.  About the only way in which we can do it is with
         power processing.  Occasionally, someone can be over-audited so far,
         especially on R6EW, that they thereafter get case gain and will act
         slightly suppressive.  They have to be rehabilitated.  But a true
         suppressive has never had any case gain or TA.  He is continually
         committing little overts, because to him, everyone is an enemy.  Each
         individual is an "everyone" to the SP, who is busy fighting
         everyone.  The SP is a "paranoid" who doesn't change.  Institutional
         cases are all PTS's or SP's.  That is why LRH has said, "Don't fool
         with the insane."  He didn't know exactly why, but now we know.  The
         psychiatrist is professionally a PTS.

     2.  The PC is PTS.  The PC who is PTS roller-coasters in auditing.  This
         is the psychiatrists' "manic-depressive" case.  He feels good after
         auditing and then feels bad.  The paranoid or catatonic who doesn't
         change is the suppressive.  A PTS doesn't have to see the SP between
         sessions.  He only has to think, "What will Joe think about this?" or
         "What would Joe say?" The SP could be 10,000 miles away.  Ethics
         officers sometimes have trouble finding the SP, but there is one on
         the case.  The SP speaks in generalities, which puts up a fog, making
         the SP hard to find.  If you audit the PTS and get him better, the SP
         will do something to destroy him, so it is dangerous to audit him.
         If you give a PTS too much gain, the SP will either commit suicide or
         murder him.  Most of our troubles have come from auditing PTS's, who
         then "threaten" the SP, who then incites the PTS and others to cause
         our problems.  You have to find the right SP.  Finding him gives a
         very positive result, not just a tiny change.  When you correctly
         spot the SP in a PTS's case, the PTS lights up like a spotlight.

     3.  The PC is ARC broken.

     4.  The PC has a PTP of long duration.  This includes hidden standards.

     5.  The PC has a withhold or a misunderstood word.  The misunderstood
         word is just a withhold of understanding.

         The PC is withholding himself from the understanding, or vice versa.

     6.  The PC has continuous withheld overts.  This makes the PC a
         suppressive.

     The eleven items discussed in this lecture [i.e. 5 GAE's and the 6 things
that can be wrong with a PC, given above] are the only things that will act as
barriers on a case.  "Processes are things that work, if these six things
aren't out" with the PC, and when auditors don't have GAE's.  If they don't
work, one or more of these is why.  That is all that drives tech out.  A D of
P who



                                      745

doesn't look at these barriers to processing can't make anything work.  If
these [eleven] reasons why processing doesn't work are OK, almost any process
will work, unless it is overrun.  In other words, the only other reason why a
process doesn't work is that it has worked all the way to a result and it is
done.  Overrun is

either a problem or an ARC break.  [Hence in fits into the above schema.] If
the five GAE's are not present, then, if the case is not progressing, 1-6 are
present.  You can just assess these six things and find out what is wrong with
the case.  So these things are the points of out tech.  "The whole environment
is trying to feed [the CS] different data than these."  Analysis of out tech
would result in getting tech in, by not allowing GAE's and by detecting and
handling the things that are wrong with PCs.

     A person's case is helped by the fact that, as he advances, he becomes
more and more capable of selecting importances.  "As you get on up the line,
the selection of importances becomes more and more an ability that is easily
practiced."

SHSpec-68 Briefing to Review Auditors




6510C14 SHSpec-68 Briefing to Review Auditors

     There are three key data that go out in an org and therefore are
essential to be known by the Department of Review, that LRH hasn't been able
to teach Tech, Qual or orgs.  You will hit them in Review, because no one else
will have gotten them:

     1.  A HIGH TA IS OVERRUN.

     There is no other reason for a high TA.  Review's problem is to find what
was overrun and how it was overrun.  When someone comes in who has never been
audited, and who has never been near another "therapy" or practice, and whose
TA is at 5.0, he has still been overrun on something.  You just have your work
cut out for you in finding it.  Don't throw away the datum, the way everyone
else has.  Using this datum, you are likely to find some interesting things.
Say someone went release on Christianity at age six, or on exercise at age
twenty, and then went on past that point, doing it some more.  Releases don't
only happen in scientology.  It is likely to be some wisdom or therapy that
released him.  They are all failed technologies.  All past wisdoms may have
had technologies that have been alter-ised and lost.  We almost went that
route by not recognizing the state of release and the phenomenon of the F/N.

     What has been overrun is not necessarily what the PC was running when the
TA went high.  You might have overrun some earlier release.  It may, for
instance, be a restimulation "of an earlier overrun communication release."
The PC could have been a problems release and gotten keyed in again on a ruds
question.  If the HGC or field auditor didn't repair it by asking, as a first
question, "What was overrun?", they would never solve it.  They would get the
wrong overrun.  You must find what, exactly, the release was on.  Which or
what one was it?  Get the right when and the right what, and the TA will blow
down, and the needle will float.  You've got to rehab the right release to get
the high TA down .  There could be other overruns on the case, too, but there
is one that is making the high TA.  Get that, and the rehab tech will get it
to F/N, quickly or less quickly.



                                      746

     2.  A ROLLER-COASTER CASE HAS AN SP IN THE VICINITY.

     The anatomy of the PTS is that of a problem:
postulate/counter-postulate.  The person's purpose (postulate) has been or is
being suppressed (counter-postulate).  There is no other source of
roller-coaster.  An SP gives the PTS a problem.  When the PC roller-coasters,
he has run into a postulate/counter-postulate situation since his last gain.
A PTS really does make trouble for the auditor, the org, and himself.  Ethics
exists to get tech in.  If it is ever used to throw tech out, it is being used
suppressively.

     Search and discovery is used to find the suppressions that a person has
had in life.  The S and D question is:

     1.  "What's been your main purpose in life?"

     2.  "Who opposed it?"

This often makes a problems release in minutes.  With a PTS or with any
problem you want to solve, "find the source of the counter-postulate....  Man
gets "solutions' to problems....  He leaves the [two opposed postulates] in
place, not knowing the definition of a problem, and then "solves' the
resulting collision, as in Dialectical Materialism -- the anatomy of a problem
gone mad.  "Any idea is the product of two forces," is the backbone of
Dialectical Materialism."  To solve a problem, look over the whole perimeter
of counter-postulates and find what is the source of the problem.  If you
handle the problem for the PC, often the problem will evaporate for the other
person, also.  Problems sometimes evaporate in the physical universe when you
find the source of the counter-postulate.  In ethics, "when you see that the
disconnection or the handle ... causes an enormous problem for the [PTS] or
for the other person from whom they are disconnecting, you have invariably
found the wrong person....  PTS is the manifestation of a
postulate/counter-postulate."  Find who, when, where, and what.  You could
list, "What purpose of yours has been thwarted?" You can get a Grade I release
with this.

     Suppressives are now to be lo ated in Review, because ethics has flubbed
it too much.  PTS's go to ethics after Review to have note made of the fact
that they ar PTS and to get a statement made of handle or disconnect.

     A PTS condition can be caused by a suppressive action, as well as by a
suppressive person.  For instance, if you overrun a PC past release, the PC
goes PTS to the auditor, just as a mechanical action.  Self-auditing is a
potential hidden source of overrun.  You don't declare the auditor an SP.  It
was a suppressive act, that's all.  The definition of PTS is "connected to a
suppressive person or action."  The action could be inadvertent.

     So you find the suppressive person.  The person may have only been
suppressive for five minutes, or he may have been suppressive for a lifetime.
Someone could be PTS and overrun.  In that case, you must get the suppression
off and rehab the process.

     A suppressive person isn't someone with horns.  It is someone who has had
a counter-postulate to the PC.  A person may occasionally commit suppressive
acts, or he may be habitually suppressive.  Someone who is routinely
suppressive in life, invalidative of scientology, and trying to keep people
from getting well is a social menace.  He is the subject of ethics.  He is the
one who gets declared, not the auditor who overran a process from some
inadvertent or stupid mistake.



                                      747

     When you tell a person the right SP, it is like locating and indicating
BPC.  You should get a blowdown and GI's.  If the PC again roller-coasters,
you've got another SP.  So there could be several SP's on the case.  You don't
go looking for all of them at the same time, but [after you find one
suppressive] look for another one.  If you found all the SP's and suppressive
actions in a person's lifetime, he would be a problems release.  And if he
goes release on problems, he won't go PTS again, unless he goes home and
starts self-auditing.  He can overrun himself on self-auditing, so be aware of
that.

     3.  THE SOURCE OF OVERTS IS AN EARLIER MISUNDERSTOOD WORD.

     The source of the overt is the other key datum that has been missed:  A
misunderstood word causes individuation, which leads to overts.  The word that
a student is arguing with the course supervisor about is later than the one
that the student really misunderstood.  Any confusion, stupidity, or upset in
study always stems from a misunderstood word earlier than the one he is upset
about.  It is always earlier! So the source of the overt is in the formula:

     1.  Something is misunderstood.

     2.  The person individuates.

     3.  He commits overts against the misunderstood thing.

If what the person thought was the misunderstood was the misunderstood, the
problem would have blown.  So it is always earlier.  This datum is the key
datum in the area of study and comprehension of existence.  It regulates a
person's I.Q.

     The Review action is to look for the earlier area and the earlier word
that was misunderstood.  [Cf. Method 1 Word Clearing] You can unburden a few
words earlier than where you think the misunderstood word is, then get the
misunderstood just before it.  You can date the time of the misunderstood.
You should ask what subject the PC was in.  A person isn't upset with
studying.  It is only a misunderstood word.  It is not case, and it is not the
environment.  Remember that you are handling fringes on end-words, so don't
push all the way back into R6.  Just find what was happening before he hit the
thing he doesn't understand.

     So these three data are the only ones that are really important in
Review:

     1.  High TA = overrun .

     2.  Roller-coaster = PTS = Who is the SP?  That question is the source of
         hang-ups on the track.  You must find the counter-postulate and the
         source of the counter-postulate.

     3.  Confusion comes from a misunderstood word earlier than the one the
         person is confused about.

SHSpec-69 About Rhodesia




6607C19 SHSpec-69 About Rhodesia

     LRH has just come back from Rhodesia.  Around February, 1966, LRH was
holding the mock-up [his body] together with sticking plaster.  The
organization was going fine.  Tech was wrapped up.  LRH put things on "wait"
-- his case, for one thing.  He decided to take a vacation.  He spent thirty
days in Las Palmas.  The organization was running fine.  Clear No. 1 (John
McMasters) was made during February of 1966, while LRH was in Las Palmas.  LRH
decided to go to South Africa.  He wanted to locate an alternate base for
OT's, in case of war or political takeover.  He couldn't figure



                                      748

out why he couldn't do this.  [The reason was that he hadn't defined the
purpose of such a base.  The purpose was:

     1.  An alternate base for scientology, in case of war or political
         takeover.

     2.  To serve as a base from which to put in ethics on the planet, so tech
         could go in.

     3.  To put in economics, so that people can support orgs and the orgs can
         flourish.

See later part of this lecture (p. 749, below).]

     LRH went to Rhodesia.  He conceived of a type of constitution they could
use to solve their difficulties.  The government liked it.  LRH recalled that
he had some assets in South Africa.  He decided to invest them.  He bought a
house and learned that he could buy a hotel in the wilderness for 5500 pounds,
and did.  He bought a farm.  He was watching the economics and behavior of the
Wog world and getting a kick out of being out there, making friends with tough
characters (his usual friends).  Rhodesian culture is still Victorian.  It is
a small civilization in the middle of a howling wilderness.  It is more
sophisticated than London.

     Rhodesia has lots of land, minerals, precious metals, and a beautiful
climate.  It is untouched and could easily be developed.  LRH met the
governmental high-ups.  He was very acceptable to them.  He didn't discuss
scientology at all.  He was examining the Wog world, and he didn't want to
un-wog it.  He went on TV and radio.  He had no authority, but he was solving
lots of problems.  Each individual Rhodesian would agree with LRH's solutions,
but warned him that no other Rhodesian would agree with him, because the
solutions were too advanced.

     LRH went down to his hotel at Lake Kariba.  He supplied the hotel with
two-ton trucks.  Local industry started to use his trucks to transport goods,
and the area boomed.  LRH started a furniture factory.  A colony started to
sprout.  Just the fact of LRH's being interested in the country and seeing
hope for it caused production to rise.

     Then LRH wondered how he was going to leave, to go back to Saint Hill.
He was woven too tightly into the picture, with a staff of nine personal staff
and twenty-nine general staff, the pick of the ex-consular domestic staffs.
White Rhodesians kept telling LRH how to handle the African.  He realized that
they didn't know anything about Africans, because they didn't recognize that
they were people.  They would say, "They are sullen.  You've got to watch
them."  But the reason they are sullen is no acknowledgment, bad 8C,
over-expectation, and out-gradient.  They were taking people with no
experiential background in politics or economics and expecting more of them
than they were trained to do.  LRH made his staff happy by telling them that
they weren't Rhodesians anymore, that they were Americans.  They were very
spit-and-polish, enthusiastic, and hard-working.  So in four months, LRH was
very acceptable to both races and even to extreme moderates, as well as to
extreme rightest whites.

     A reporter from the London Daily Mail told the Minister of Information
what a bad fellow LRH was.  The minister instantly told prime minister Smith
what a bad fellow he was.  Smith told the cabinet the same story, and the next
morning the Rhodesian Front Committee was charging down [to see LRH], when
they found out that his visa wasn't going to be extended, because they knew
that it was all lies.  Smith had been built up as too fair and too honest.
His popularity had begun to decline, because he hadn't worked



                                      749

miracles, and because his communication was going out.  Then he told the
Committee various things, such as, that LRH's business associates were
complaining about him.  LRH had, in fact, only three business associates, and
one of them was there and denied the story.  Smith said that LRH had been
deported from Australia.  But LRH's passport had no record of having entered
Australia.  He said that LRH was wanted all over and had a criminal record.
These people, however, knew that LRH's credit was in the stars all over the
world.  They saw Smith's feet of clay and walked out.  So LRH could leave,
covered with laurels.

     As a result of this expedition, LRH found out that you can't locate a
base that you don't know the purpose of.  That was why he had trouble locating
"OT Base".  Now he knows what "OT Base" has to do.  It has to put in ethics on
a planetary basis, so that tech can be gotten in.  As you associate with the
public and try to tell them about scientology, you have trouble with the
public, because their ethics are out, and for no other reason.  One SP in
Rhodesia has wrecked the country, and is keeping the whole scene
enturbulated.

     The only real threat to scientology is that an atom war or a political
takeover could prevent the organization from going ahead to clear people.  In
addition to ethics, but less vital than ethics, economics has to be gotten
straightened out.  Economics is a very simple subject, with very plain laws.
It has nothing to do with politics and ideology.  Actually, economics exists
as a subject, the purpose of which is to get people enough to eat, etc.  Man
violates the laws of economics all the time for ideological and political
purposes.  The already existing economic systems of the planet are usable in a
modified form, and we need them to improve, in order to allow for an expansion
of our organization.  There has to be a workable enough economics on the
planet so that people can support orgs and the orgs can flourish and expand.
A total subsidy of processing doesn't work, because there is no contribution
from the PC.  People have to contribute to benefit from auditing.  So the
economic purpose is a secondary purpose of OT Base.  Also, ethics is hard to
get in on starving people!

     Ethics is out on earth, and the out ethics prevents easy dissemination.
Nearly every human being on this planet that is in trouble, is in trouble
because ethics are out.  In England, someone stole and sold LRH's research
papers, which were then represented as the current practice of scientology --
a very different thing.  People are killed in wars because of one SP in the
government.  The only reason for war is a few SP's.  We could go and sort out
key SP's in international situations.  What we would do about it is something
else.

     Political systems exist only to solve the problem of succession of
rulers.  Otherwise, everyone could agree on a benevolent monarchy.  The answer
is, of course, not to have successors.  Clear the monarch!  But political
systems are not concerned with the happiness or productivity of people.

     The only source of our individual, personal difficulties is not having
ethics in, in the society around us.  The only reason why you are having
difficulty as an individual is not having ethics in, in your immediate
environment.  We've got to shift gears in our emphasis.  We have been getting
ethics in on our fellow scientologists with great enthusiasm.  Now we are
familiar with the system and how it works.  We have erred by getting ethics in
too



                                      750

heavily on scientologists and too lightly on the environment.  It is time to
reverse the emphasis.  "There isn't any point in getting ethics in on a
willing person," just because he is stupid.  Doing that just makes the person
sullen.  Ethics should be directed at willful acts of sabotage.

     A real SP is not just anyone.  He intends to damage you.  He is a real
nut.  He intends to knock you down.  He is not just a difficult person.  He is
a real monster.  Upgrade your idea of what an SP is like.  SP's amount only to
2.5% of Mankind.  Find out if the guy is driving people into sanitariums,
strewing social wreckage about, and smashing statistics.  We have only had one
real SP on staff.  Just because a person shows up on an S and D doesn't mean
that he is a real SP.  Maybe he is just making someone unhappy.  Don't fling
the title around lightly, within scientology.  Outside scientology, don't
worry about making a mistake and accusing someone wrongly.  Just get ethics in
real hard first and correct the mistakes later.  We've got to put in ethics
fast to prevent disaster.

     It was great to find that the organization could continue without LRH.
It was great to find that you could make more clears.  You made No. 22 to
celebrate his return.

     LRH's immediate program is to finish his own clearing.  He has found that
people don't make it with their grades out.  Then he will start OT research.
Every time he tries to put together the scope of OT, he has to run off the
invalidation.  Any statement you can make about OT falls short of the truth.

SHSpec-70 Dianetic Auditing




6607C21 SHSpec-70 Dianetic Auditing

     Processes today are so fast that auditors cannot be trained.  [See p.
738, above.] LRH wrote a bulletin in April [HCOB 3Apr66 "Dianetic Auditing
Course"] which is now going into effect, to handle this situation.  If
auditors can't audit, no auditing gets done, and no one makes it up the line.
Follow the fundamentals.  Get your question answered.  Don't change the
process because the PC goes unconscious.  Drills on TR's are not enough, by
themselves, to make a smooth auditor.  Releases can be made with dianetic
auditing.  LRH has done it for years.  The earliest "clears" were dianetic
releases.  They were more or less stable, but they were in much better shape
than they had been in.

     Don't go using dianetic auditing in practice (Joke:).  Dianetics is
practice auditing.  However, these processes can heal, though not with
uniformity, since the whole reactive mind is the cause of very severe
illnesses.  The way to make someone well is to make a thetan clear.  Therefore
clearing is the real "cure" for illness.  So don't specialize in dianetic
key-outs.  But a slower process is needed to give auditors practice at
auditing.  They must get to where they are used to the comm cycle, can read a
meter, get some wins, etc.  All the bugs have been ironed out of dianetic
auditing.  Even turning on visio, which used to be hard, is easy if you get
the exact duration of the incident.  Teaching someone dianetics gives him very
basic fundamentals.  HCOB 3Apr66 gives an improvement on old dianetic
technique, since it doesn't require repeater technique, etc. [It was a
simplified version of dianetics compared to the earlier R3R technique (which
was closer to modern dianetic technique).  It involved simply locating an
incident within the PC's conscious recall and running through it repeatedly
until the PC is up to tone 4.0 (cheerful) on it, then taking another incident
within the PC's conscious recall and doing the same thing.]



                                      751

     The mind is:

     1.  A literal record of experience, plotted against time, from the
         earliest moment of aberration until now.

   + 2.  Additional ideas the fellow got about it.

   + 3.  Other things he may have mocked up or created on top of it in mental
         mass.

   + 4.  Some machines.

   + 5.  Some valences.  These make circuits that talk to the PC -- the Arabs'
         "demons".  A circuit is an endowed life object.

You can audit any of these, to greater or lesser profit.  Mental mass is mass,
but the mass of it is very slight, compared to the real object one makes a
picture of.  For auditing purposes, when you do an S and D, you are not
looking for pictures.  You are looking for a valence.  If you want to change
someone's personality graph, audit out some valences.  The graph is just a
picture of the person's valences.  He is hardly there at all.

     In dianetic auditing, neglect the machines, the valences, and the
illusions.  The psychiatrist and the psychologist addressed things that the
person himself mocked up: his illusions.  They only invalidated the illusions
without finding why the person was creating them.  You are only interested in
experience, not illusion.  Illusion is a surface manifestation that evaporates
when real experience appears.  "Illusion is the product of the actual," and if
you attack the illusion in dianetic auditing, you prevent the PC from
contacting the actual.  The actual is so bizarre that humans tend to
invalidate it by confusing it with illusion.  Thus people are prone to call
the actual and illusion both illusion.  As with dub-in, newspaper stories are
untrue but usually based on a real event.  The newspaper is the modern
gossip.  Newspapers specialize in creating illusions.  "News" is a social
illusion of an event.  If you are running an engram, the PC may start by
confronting illusion, then come up to confronting [the incident].  So the
"incident" may change as he audits it.  A PC's confront gets better as he
audits dub-in, and he begins to see the real event.  The PC can himself be
confused by the change.  Don't evaluate for him about the reality of the
incident he is running.  Just put him through it again.  A thetan is a busy
little bee.  He goes along, making pictures.  He clutches them to his
thetanish bosom, then wonders why he feels sick.

     A person isn't aberrated by pleasure, though he can get hung up in a
magnitudinous win.  Pleasure moments don't run out.

     Secondaries contain misemotion.  Any emotion or misemotion may be
contained in a secondary.  "The tone scale was plotted from the behavior of
secondaries, as they were audited."  Any aberrative secondary is based on an
engram -- an experience, or a picture, of pain and unconsciousness.  This was
originally thought to be cellular memory, hence the word, "engram".  Whenever
someone is hurt, he makes a complete, exact record of what happened, that is
fantastically accurate with respect to time.  A thetan does not make errors
reactively about time.  He gets confused analytically about it.  The exact
date of each incident is recorded but [the incident] is unconfrontable if he
can't get [the date].  He records what he can't confront, and that is where he
gets engrams and secondaries.



                                      752

     The E-meter sees deeper than the PC can, but it doesn't see all the way
down.  It reads on things that are close to being confronted.  It reaches what
the PC isn't confronting but could confront.  It won't register on the totally
unconfrontable. [See Fig. 29] Eventually, the being can confront as much as
the meter can see -- when he is clear.  You can unflatten things that you have
flattened, by continuing to go over them.  In running engrams, you should get
them down to where there is no more TA action.

                                      753

     The aberrative mind -- the mind being approached by dianetic auditing --
is the mind of events.  The events are often approachable through locks.  What
a person knows about is not aberrative.

     Someone can do a total switch in valence.  He can "become" another
person, with that person's characteristics.  So a PC in a given valence in an
incident may see another person in the incident as opposite, who actually
represents the PC, in his own valence in the incident.  So if you notice a
certain trait in the PC, ask the PC who had characteristics opposite to the
ones that the PC is manifesting.  The PC will spot the person he had switched
with, who objected to the characteristics that the PC had before the switch,
but that appear opposite to the PC, because the PC is in that person's
valence, looking at himself.  When you ask the PC this question, the valence
will as-is, and the PC will then get a true perception of the other person.
In running engrams, the PC may thus go into and out of various valences.

     A this-lifetime address to the situation is recommended, because the PC
might have an infinite number of [incidents to run].  But you can err in
dianetic auditing by running too late on the chain.  You may be able to stay
in this lifetime and key the PC out, but you can't insist on staying in this
lifetime.  The danger is in:

     1.  Trying to erase an incident that is getting more solid, because it is
         too late on the chain.  You should go earlier.

     2.  Not getting the charge off incidents contacted, before going
         earlier.  This is the opposite error.  You can hit the incidents too
         lightly, not get enough charge off, and keep going back too quickly.
         If you do this, the PC will wind up in a ball, overwhelmed with the
         charge.  He will be all messed up.  A PC may, himself, skip several
         incidents and get himself into the glue.

If the latter occurs, just treat that session as an incident and erase it as a
lock.  This is something we have almost forgotten how to do in scientology.
It is quite easy and effective.  You can erase anything, if you are good.  You
can always go through something once, but if it is a chain, watch it about
going through it more than once.

     The whole of dianetic auditing is the tracing of experience.  The rules
for it are in HCOB 3Apr66, plus this lecture.

     Additional thoughts:  If you get a PC stuck in some lifetime, run out its
death.  The lives that are especially aberrative are the ones in which the PC
almost made it.

     There is no total bank release at the level of dianetics.  There are only
releases on particular subjects.  The releases you get are by chain, not from
a whole class of experience.  Total bank releases exist only at scientology
Levels 0-V.  You can get minus releases from the minus awareness scale.  In
fact, you can assess the minus levels of the awareness chart and sometimes
produce a release just by assessing them and finding where the PC is stuck
at.  But don't go by an F/N during this procedure.

     Any dianetic auditing is better than no dianetic auditing.  That is still
true, although some scientology auditor may knock the PC around.  If the PC is
groggy at the end of a dianetic session, have him look around and notice
things in the room.



                                      754

     Audit the PC on locks and/or secondaries, at first.  Running secondaries
will drop the PC into engrams.  Don't try to cure his lumbosis by running out
the engram that gave him his lumbosis.

     Auditing to cure something is giving the PC attention because he's got
lumbosis, i.e. rewarding a down statistic.  It puts the being at effect, and
he will deteriorate as a being.  You have the technology of total recovery of
the being.  If you audit towards that, you will be helping the PC.  Audit
towards improving the PC's confront and his abilities, not towards curing his
illness.  His illness is his hidden standard.  He is saying, "Cure my
medicosis, and I will believe in scientology."  Audit the being, not the
illness.

     There is value in dianetic auditing.  It solves the problems that Freud
was attacking.  But compared to scientology, it is nothing.  Don't get stuck
in the wins that you will have with it.  The road out is the road up through
the grades.  Use dianetic auditing to learn the fundamentals about the human
mind and to learn how to audit.  Dianetics is not currently for the psychotic,
the neurotic, and the sick.

SHSpec-71 The Classification Chart and Auditing




6607C26 SHSpec-71 The Classification Chart and Auditing

     Auditing means to listen and compute, and to get a result on a PC, who is
a person with aberrations and difficulties.  Auditing has to be done in a
professional, standard manner.  Since the beginning of Wogdom, there has been
off-beat activity going on.  That is no reason to perpetuate it.  "The
psychiatrist exists for the good of the society, and to Hell with the
patient."  Our situation does not compare with earlier mental therapies.  We
are not even trying for the same result.  We are clearing people by erasing
reactive minds.  Unlike psychotherapies, auditing is not a social criticism.

     We know the answer to why the PC behaves the way he does.  We also know
why the wog behaves the way he does.  Scientology is a road out that increases
the person's abilities, taking him out of his identification of A=A=A.  The
road has milestones, which we call "grades".  There are also levels.  On
grades, there are certain abilities gained.  But these grades are not composed
of single points, despite the names given on the Gradation Chart.  That is the
rough public rendition.  It is really not possible to enter the upper grades
without having attained the lower grades.  Trying to do so results in
disasters.  The whole track falls between [Grade] V, which enables the PC to
confront whole track, and [Grade] VI, but it doesn't necessarily appear in
either, though it may.

     Besides the disasters that occur from an out gradient, other disasters
come from not following standard tech.  Standard tech is contained only in
HCOB's, not in any books.  "If I haven't signed it, it isn't true."  Some day
we will publish then all in consecutive order, all corrected.  The main
bugbear of someone studying scientology is that he conceives that every time
he reads something new, it wipes out the old.  This concept is based on the
fact that he didn't understand the old material that he had read in the first
place.  So he doesn't realize that it can be integrated with the new material
that has just been issued.  Something developed later doesn't replace
something developed earlier.  The new does not wipe out the old.  The old
generally correlates well with the new.  There are very few corrections.  One
significant correction is contained in the newly-found fact that you can
overrun things.  A lot of "old"



                                      755

processes "failed" because they worked so fast that the auditor didn't spot
the release point when it occurred.  This accounts for the poor results of
R2-12, when it went wrong.  It works very fast.  We didn't know about overrun
in those days.

     With dianetics, you can have one release per chain, so don't try to
escape from confronting engrams by "going release".  PCs are entitled to make
rapid gains and soar on up the line.  That doesn't apply to students.  Like a
great singer, a student has to suffer to be great.  He learns what errors can
be made by being a PC who gets messed up.  Someone who has never been overrun
doesn't appreciate why it is undesirable.  Getting bad auditing isn't
necessarily disastrous.  It teaches the student not to give bad auditing.  I
have been audited by dianetic auditors who were trained in an academy that
taught only the "bubble theory". [?]

     Nothing will help an aberrated being, short of processing.  "Standard
tech is a very very narrow path, and it's very easy to stray off of its
edges."  It is bounded on all sides by wrong things to do, in auditing.  One
wrong thing is to fail to handle PCs while auditing them.  You must keep the
PC handled, in order to audit him.  One way to suppose that you couldn't
handle PCs while auditing them is to think that you can't do anything about
something which is above a PC's grade.

     "You can always run an advanced process on a PC as a rudiment, as
something to straighten the case out in a hurry."  For instance, even though
problems = Grade 1, you can always run Level 1 as a rudiment for Level 0.  In
fact [if the PC has a PTP], you had damn well better.  It is not, "I'm sorry.
We can't talk about your problems, because that's Grade 1, and you are only
working on Grade 0.  And at the Problems level, you may run into service facs,
e.g. the PC's lumbosis.  These can give you a hard time in making a problems
release.  After all, the reason why the chart is the way it is, is that the
"Gradation Chart ... is made up only [at the level of the grades] of those
things which you can't audit in the face of, and that is the genus of the
chart, ... the real reason why I found the grades, and why....  There are
certain things that, if you don't pay attention to them, prevent all progress
in auditing and in life.  So therefore they must be the keys to aberration.
And That's where we got the ... chart."  Only these factors have appeared as
barriers to case gain, when not handled.  "These are the super barriers to the
track."

     1.  PTP's give rise to no TA, no as-ising, inability to concentrate,
         inability to answer auditing commands, and perhaps some degree of
         rising TA.

     2.  Missed withholds and overts cause a nattery, choppy, and mean PC.

     3.  ARC breaks give the PC a sad effect.

     4.  Communication problems lead to no communication.  Unconsciousness is
         a communication problem.  The CDEI scale can be applied to
         communication.

For instance, O/W must be a higher grade than problems, because a person could
confront having problems, when he couldn't confront an overt.

     Don't think that because someone is a Grade IV release, he will never
again have out-ruds of any sort.  The product you have is a gross product.
The release can last quite awhile or not.  It is not gold.  It is gilt, and it
can tarnish.  Sometimes it turns green.  It is the temporariness of this state
(which is, after all,



                                      756

a state of keyed-out clear) that boobytrapped the whole research line in the
field of the mind.  There are lower-scale harmonics of everything the thetan
can do or be.  The state of thetan exterior is what the Buddhists called a
Bodhi.  It is not a permanent state.

     However, even though it is not permanent, release should not be
underrated.  It is accompanied by the experience of overcoming that which the
person has been released on, and that improves his ability to confront.  Also,
a bit of erasure has occurred, which desensitizes the whole thing.  So the
releases made nowadays are more stable than the releases that were made in
1950.  Now, we are approaching release on a gradient, and we know what grade
of release we are making.

     (Always be willing to give the PC a win.)

     The clear cog is, "I'm mocking it up."  Clears follow the rules of life,
until they, themselves, have changed their minds about the rules.  And when
they do that, of course, they are OT's.  "Oddly enough, OT processes are upper
harmonics of the same things that prevent auditing, only they aren't
processes."

     If you want to audit, you must handle whatever rud is out, when it's
out.  If the PC at Grade IV isn't talking, he may be a communications
release, but you will get nowhere until you get him in comm.  Communication is
the carrier wave of all processing.

     "Someone who's a release is less likely to have out-ruds, but these
things can still occur."  Having the grades doesn't mean that you won't get
ARC broken with yourself and with the auditor.  If you want a good auditor at
Grades VI and VII, become one.

     There are interim release points on the chart that you are probably
neglecting.  Someone could get an F/N on a communications process, without
being released on every aspect of communication.  So he isn't necessarily a
communications release.  A lot of processes were dropped out of the lineup
that shouldn't have been dropped.  You will have to use tech from another
grade, in running a grade.  [At Level 0], you have valence processes as well
as the usual comm processes.  You have some more complicated comm processes at
Grade 1.  All along the line, there are lots of processes that someone could
be released on.

     R4H = R2H (Recall an ARC break.  Date it.  Assess.  Indicate BPC.).
CCH's were on Grade II.  Also ARC processes, plus case remedies.  At Level
III, you get auditing by lists and overt/ justifications.  There are also
physical processes, meter dating, and cause and effect processes.  Don't
ignore grades processes as rudiments.

     "PCs don't ever object to auditors unless they've got overts on them," no
matter how lousy their auditing is.  Pull the withhold.  A PC audited over an
ARC break protests, then screams, then fusses, then gets tired, and then gets
sad and sadder.  Neglecting rudiments will ruin a case.  You will have to use
them on all PCs, at one time or another.  Don't ever fail to notice out-ruds
or fail to put them in when they are out.  That, and going non-standard, is
the only thing that could bar a person from going clear.

SHSpec-72 Dianetic Auditing and the Mind




6607C28 SHSpec-72 Dianetic Auditing and the Mind

     When you are running engrams and secondaries, you are handling the human
mind.  What the mind was coating was the subject of scientology.  It is
coating the thetan, in other words: you, like a blob of glup.  A person is a
static.  The subject of the mind has been considerably mucked about and
misunderstood.  The "engram" came from a theory that LRH developed at George
Washington University.  Man had no way to explain memory.  If memory was a
molecular phenomenon, Man has enough storage capacity in the brain to last
three months.  LRH wrote this up as proof that this isn't how Man remembers.
It is difficult to think about a mind, harder than thinking about a brain.
Fortunately, the mind doesn't have to understand itself.  LRH was there to
understand it.  You would have to be aware of the fact that an individual is
able to create matter, energy, space, and time (in other words: pictures),
before you could understand the mind.  You don't have to ask or explain where
a thetan came from.  A thetan just is.

     This gets us into a discussion of reality.  No one has nailed this down,
philosophically.  In scientology, reality is what is.  That is all you need to
know about reality itself.  A delusion is a reality for one person, out of
agreement with others.

     From these elements, it is possible to figure out why Man is trapped and
why he acts and reacts as he does.  You can figure this out, once you know the
basic definitions.  In dianetic processing, you have to know what the mind
is.  The thetan is a compulsive mocker-upper.  He is stupid.  That is the one
flaw in a thetan.  If you can get him over this mad obsession to:

     1.  Make a picture of everything that happens to him,

     2.  Then hide it from himself,

     3.  Then fix it up so it can impinge itself on his existence,

you can get him out of the cage.  "He dramatizes these pictures, or they
enforce computations on him."  He does this by dislocating himself in time.

     The mind is:

     1.  Pictures that have been made of experiences.

     2.  Plotted against time.

     3.  Preserved in energy and mass in the vicinity of the being.

     4.  When restimulated, they are recreated without his analytical
         awareness.

What is the mind that you are trying to get someone out of.  The trick of it
all is that "you cannot make a postulate or an intention through this mass
called 'the mind'."  Whenever you try, the mind is restimulated, so the thetan
is not able to handle things or make things by postulate.  A thetan's thought
cannot go through the barricade of his mockups.  When he tries to put forth an
intention or postulate, it collides, "Splat!", with whatever engrams are in
restimulation.  The less creation of his experiences the person has around
him, and the less he has around him to be restimulated, the more he can think
or project his thoughts, and the bigger he gets.  You can delete these
experiences and thereby free the being and his intentions and postulates.
Dianetic auditing is the activity by which these experiences can be deleted.

     The PC may be messed up because he is trying to restrain himself from
dramatizing.  A person has a tendency to repeat, in action, what has happened
to him in experience.  He tends to replay now something that happened then,
out of its time [and place].  The thetan could give himself disabilities to
prevent himself from dramatizing.



                                      758

     You are dealing with the basic mind.  The core of the reactive mind also
has this same character, but it is so outrageous and overwhelming that you had
better not touch it without the map.  In view of the fact that the individual
didn't know what happened, he sometimes told himself what happened and got the
actual experience overlaid with another experience.  This is how you get "too
many Julius Caesars".  Julius Caesar was pretty suppressive, which made him
the winning side or valence.  So a lot of people whom he affected and
overwhelmed took on his valence.

     A thetan has trouble remembering, when he is all smashed down in the
mind.  The effort to remember gets painful, so he would rather not remember.
One of his favorite methods of handling the bank is almost as crazy as making
the bank in the first place:  It is forgetting about it.

     When you start erasing the mind, the person may be upset at the point
where you have erased his circuits and machinery and he hasn't remembered how
to do things himself.

     As far as auditing is concerned, dianetics is play.  It is far more than
Man could do before but its benefits are far far less than the benefits of
scientology auditing.  If you tried to erase the mind, picture by picture, you
would be at it a long time.  Say you have had one pain per year and one major
catastrophe every five or ten years.  If you added them up over all your
lifetimes, you would come up with too many to erase in any reasonable number
of hours or years.  This is why LRH addressed the thetan, rather than the
thetan's mockups.  With the grades, one could be clear in a few years,
starting from the bottom and not going at a frantic pace.

     In auditing engrams, there are some phenomena you should be aware of.  A
chain won't erase if you erase only the late end of it.  The only way to solve
a problem is to handle the elements it contains.  If it contains past lives,
you will fail to handle it if you don't handle past lives.  If an incident
gets heavier and more massy, hit the silk.  Go earlier.  If a chain has a
basic before this lifetime, that is where you will have to go to get it.  One
of the symptoms of an incident going more solid is the PC bouncing out of it.
The PC bounces out of the incident into the lock that he has just made in PT,
running through the incident the first time, in this session.  This can be
manifested as the PC's repeating just what he said the first time.  He has
learned better than to go near the incident.  This is the same mechanism that
keeps his bank mocked up in the first place.  He can't confront it, so he
keeps it in PT.  It would erase if he confronted it, but to do so is too
painful.  You can get this phenomenon if you use the meter to determine what
to run.  Don't use a meter to locate incidents.  If you run what the PC can
find, you've got something he can confront.  "A man can remember what he can
confront," and that is all he is going to remember.  If he runs the engram
from PT -- all conceptual and not in the incident, it is because the incident
is really too much for him to confront.

     A guy with amnesia is just a guy who is so spooked that he is not willing
to remember anything.  It is not just bouncers or holders which govern
people's ability to move on the track.  Someone who is about to be executed is
terrified of the future.  He will be stuck in the moment before the execution,
or he will shoot earlier.  Some people thus escape into the past track.
Others are only willing to remember what happens after a traumatic
experience.



                                      759

It is only running PCs beyond their ability to confront which causes trouble
in dianetic auditing.  If you run the PC on what he can confront, you won't
get into situations for which you need solutions.  You could run the PC's
chronic emotion.  That would be a good project.  There is probably a secondary
for every engram.  So you are likely to drop into engrams while running
secondaries.  The secondary lies right across the top of the engram.  If you
try to run loss, you end up running all the incidents on the track.  There are
also overt chains (the "motivator series").  Each engram has 2000 to 3000
locks.  Each secondary also has 2000 to 3000 locks.  Chains cross-connect and
cross-reference with other chains.  It would be impossible to take something
that a PC was afraid of and trace it back to all the reasons why he was afraid
of it.  It will be found to occur in too many chains and locks.

     The individual's experiential track is important because, when we clear
someone, we get a new thing: a being without a bank who has experience.  When
you find yourself in a trap, it is a good idea to find out what the trap
consists of.  That is one benefit of engram running.  [You will find that]
there will be certain points of emphasis, but all thetans have had
experience.  There are no specialized thetans.

     If you can't get the PC to run engrams, run breakfast.  If that is not
confrontable, have him run entering the auditing room.  For some people, the
flow of time from moment to moment is continuous pain.  Don't try to get such
individuals to confront heavy stuff.

SHSpec-73 Suppressives and GAE's




6608C02 SHSpec-73 Suppressives and GAE's

     Normally, there is no penalty for a crime of omission.  In this society,
it is being there and communicating that are the crimes that are mostly
punished.  But there are also crimes of omission.  For an auditor, not being
there and not communicating are the highest crimes.

     In the area of tech, we have gone from total change to total no-change.
The materials are all there.  The road to clear, from raw meat to Grade IV, is
very fast.  That is something you can have trouble with is an auditor.  It is
over before you notice.  There is a difference between wog and raw meat.  A
wog isn't even trying.  Some processes are dangerously quick, so they are not
even in the line-up, because they overrun too easily.  R2-12 is one of these.
The route is so fast that only GAE's can prevent someone from going.  [Watch
out!  Here come quickie grades!]

     Every thetan wants out, at least for himself, even the suppressive.  A
suppressive is a special breed of cat.  He is someone with no case gain.  The
SP knows that he belongs in [the soup], so he is sure that you want to put him
in.  An SP could be described as "someone who is always totally surrounded by
Martians, no matter who you are."  As an auditor, he will do nothing but
commit GAE's.  He won't just commit a few.  He won't audit at all.  But he
will say, "See?  I try to audit these guys, and it doesn't work, so it's a
worthless fraud."  He rewards only down statistics.  He goofs up and vilifies
every effort to make people better.

     (The trouble with scientology in South Africa is that they are afraid
that LRH will teach it to Africans!)



                                      760

     If registrars kept this no-case-gain fact in mind, it would save us lots
of trouble.  We wouldn't try to audit them.  An SP will make no case gain and
can't resist bragging about it.  The registrar could route them to the ethics
officer.  Anyone has the right to complain about one auditor, but not about
all auditors.

     As an auditor, the suppressive is only happy when the PC gets worse, and
he is sad when the PC gets better.  An SP is in a state of constant attack on
scientology.  He commits overts 24 hours a day.  You very seldom find out
about it.  Another characteristic is that he attacks wrong targets.  He
attacks those who are trying to help him.  He will not complete a cycle of
action.  If by chance he does complete one, he will reverse it.  "At no time
during this lecture have I said that all existing governments on the planet
today reward down statistics, choose wrong targets, fail to complete cycles of
action, or commit continuous overts.  I have not said that, and your inference
on that subject is your own responsibility!" An SP believes that "you are
trying to trick him into letting down his protective mechanisms long enough so
that you can "stab him in the back."

     If, as an auditor, you observe all these things and the PC is getting no
case gain, you know that tech is out, because it isn't working.  You, as an
auditor, can be an ethics officer, if need be.  You should know some ethics
tech.  You have to know how to locate overts that are so unreal that they
don't read on a meter.

     The heads of governments are suppressives.  They do commit continuous
overts, and they do the other things that SP's do.  They would get no case
gain if you audited them.  Having them in the driver's seat is a dangerous
situation.  Ethics must be gotten in, not on a police state basis, but on a
very narrow, precise basis.

     The world is also full of PTS people.  They are the ones who cause most
of the trouble, hence the name.  The PC who gets and loses case gain is
roller-coastering.  He has an SP somewhere on his lines, either directly or by
restimulation.  Auditing is fast, but it isn't fast enough to overcome the
SP.  You could take the PTS out of his restimulative environment, audit him up
to Grade V, let him go back to the environment, and he would collapse.  The
reason why the PTS individual roller-coasters is that the suppressive person
or valence will try to destroy him if he makes case gain.  Therefore, don't
audit a PTS.  You may kill him.  A PTS person could make it, however, [if he
made it as far as the clearing course.] Grade VI is the make/break point.  At
Grade VI, you could barely make it in the presence of an SP.  Below this, it
is not possible.

     Another way to handle the PTS individual is to do an S and D to find the
suppressive.  The S and D is an assessment, not auditing.  It is an ethics
action.  Therefore you can't have GAE's during an assessment, because it is
not auditing.  You ought to get the ARC break handled by assessment first,
before doing an S and D.

     What can you do for an SP?  The only known action that will change an SP
is the last power process.  He is the real psycho.  The only place that it can
be done is in an org that has Class VII's who could run it and a registrar who
will throw him out when he comes in complaining of no case gain.  Because
getting him to answer the question could be very difficult.  If you did do
power on him, his next action would be Grade 0 or lower.  But until you have
total control of the environment and padded cells, send him to ethics.  If it
turns out that he has been well audited with no case gain, you are taking your
life in your hands to put him in the HGC.



                                      761

     An SP got to be one by switching valences.  Man is basically good, but he
mocks up evil valences and gets into them.  An SP is in a false, mocked-up
valence, to which he has earlier assigned or postulated evil purposes or
actions.  Evil is the declaration and postulate that evil can exist, that's
all.  In the absence of such postulates, Man is good.  Scientology would be
very dangerous if that were not true.  The suppressive first mocked up badness
in another, then took on that valence.  The suppressive got in the bad
valence, committed overts, then was attacked by other beings.  He is stuck in
that second incident.  It is far more real than PT.  He is living a
nightmare.  Anybody has a few of these realer-than-real pictures, but when most
of us run into them, we are running back into them.  The SP never left.  You
and I may go back to an incident of trauma, but an SP has never left it.  The
incident is more real to him than PT.  To the SP, all life is the threat of
this incident and the personnel in it.  All life is this incident, and
everyone in PT is one of the attackers.  That is all there is to an SP.  He
continuously commits overts because (he thinks) he is defending himself.  You
could get in this state only if you had lots of overts before it.  This makes
the SP choose wrong targets.  He can't complete cycles of action, because he
is stuck in time.  That is why the last power process works.  A person commits
overts, stacks up the bank until he can't move on the track, then gets the
business.  Institutions contain few SP.  They mostly contain PTS's.

     Power processes can blast the SP loose [from his stuck point on the
track], so that he can then be normally audited.  But how can he be audited
[on power processing in the first place] by someone who is perceived as an
enemy? How can a cop or the Roman Legion audit him?

     Psychiatrists fail to put in ethics on their own profession.  That is
LRH's criticism of them.  LRH's quarrel with governments and politics is the
same.  Any system that permits an evil man to rise to power is a bad system.

     As an auditor, you are only at liberty to handle ethics if you yourself
have clean hands, and if you have certainty that it is not your auditing that
is the cause of no case gain.  You must be satisfied that you don't commit
GAE's before you can accurately spot an ethics problem.  The difference
between a confident and an unconfident auditor is that the unconfident auditor
is one who feels that he may be committing GAE's.

     The benefits of doing TR's are the benefits of the auditing comm cycle
itself, apart from the processes used.  We know that the tech is not
inadequate.  If you omit tech or add to tech, it fails to work.  There was an
additive, until recently.  Auditors were quitting when a TA went low, saying
that the PC could then only be audited on power.  The truth is that a case
that is chronically below 2.0 is in chronic apathy and won't really get over
it until he gets power processing, but he can get gains on grades.

     The easy way to know whether it is your error or the PC's condition that
is causing auditing problems is to know the five GAE's.  Your judgment on an
ethics problem depends entirely on your confidence in avoiding GAE's.  They
are very obvious.  You could detect them on a tape of your auditing.  Be
interested in what is going on with the PC.  Observe how he is doing.  Getting
and keeping a PC in session is under the heading of observing the PC, which
depends on a willingness to confront the PC.

     "[Real] justice can never occur in the absence of an understanding of the
human mind.  Never."  Our justice leaves artificial justice behind it.
Justice is only necessary in an aberrated world or area.

SHSpec-74 Dianetics, Scientology, and Society




6608C04 SHSpec-74 Dianetics, Scientology, and Society

     Dianetics has an interesting history.  It hit like a battering ram, and
the planet hasn't recovered from the impact.  It got neglected after 1951, but
it is the entrance point to what the mind is all about.  It gives a
superficial explanation of what behavior is all about.  It wrapped up the
world of mental healing.  It is a very junior subject.  When it became clear
that we were addressing the human spirit, working on his mind seemed of far
lesser importance.

     The backflash against dianetics and scientology is based on the fact that
it works and that it is in competition with psychiatry, not that it is a
fraud.  Not all psychiatrists are really evil.  Some are merely caught up in a
routine that they can't escape.  However, a lot of them are SP's.  Those that
aren't are pretty PTS.  They don't understand what we are doing, nor do we
understand what they are doing, because we don't have the same goals as the
psychiatrists.  On soliciting approval from psychiatrists:  "I rarely go
around zoos wondering if I am acceptable to the monkeys in the cages."

     In unsuccessful activities, you get a change of titles, every once in
awhile.  Mental "healers" keep changing their titles.  At present, they are
"psychiatrists".  In the 1920's, they were "alienists", etc.  One reason that
they are unsuccessful is that they give all their time to a down statistic and
keep getting pulled under.  If we were to approach the same area as our major
purpose, we would, in order to make it, first have to be very well and
successfully established in other fields.  The west is a scientific barbarism,
not really a civilization, yet.  A man has to be pretty civilized, before he
can be trusted with much power.  Current society has power without gentler
social graces to restrain it.  People in society are trying to control human
behavior by brute force.  This is a very crude technology.  It is very dicey
to put technology out for those who are accustomed to abusing technology.  It
would only be safe if the technology itself [or learning the technology]
produced enough case gain to prevent their abusing it.  A tech must be able to
work rapidly enough to counteract the tendency to abuse tech.

     Something peculiar is going to happen.  You are taking off from the
tremendous technical background of scientology and going back to its immediate
entrance background.  Of course this is very easy to clarify.  It is best not
to use dianetics as an entrance point [for dissemination purposes], but to get
the person into scientology and then teach him dianetics as a training
technique.  We are advancing the most powerful psychosomatic technology on the
planet as a training technique:  As it advances, don't lose sight of
scientology.  It is great to be able to salvage the body so that you can
salvage the being.  There is a use for dianetics.  But don't put fixing up a
body above helping a being.  Remember that you are salvaging a being, not his
particular peculiarities.  You could change someone's peculiarities by finding
and running out engrams.  If you had an individual with a certain aberration,
you could find a chain of engrams to explain it, that, when run, would change
his behavior.  But there is some more basic reason for his being that way.
His more fundamental life has been dedicated to going wrong in that direction,
so of course he has accumulated a great number of incidents that demonstrate
going wrong in



                                      763

that direction.  A scientology technique could release him from this tendency
to collect engrams.  You had better be sure to go back far enough.  For this,
you need to have the concept of the spiritual nature of Man.  "If you don't
accept the spiritual nature of Man, you can't make dianetics work, because it
goes back too far."  There is a piece of scientology tech that gets him over
his tendency to accumulate engrams on a subject: reach and withdraw.  With
this technique, you can bring the individual up to PT, without bothering to
inquire about which mass is causing him to crack up airplanes.  This could
work for several lifetimes.  Scientology is just that much stronger [than
dianetics].  It is true that, in one lifetime, several experiences can ruin
someone.  It is true that as long as the "traumatic shock" is contained in a
broken leg, healing can be normal or prolonged.  If you ran the incident, even
just this lifetime, you would reduce the time of healing from six weeks to two
weeks.  Use dianetics when injury or illness prevents auditing.  Patch the PC
up so that you can audit him.  In other words, if actual advance of the being
is seriously hindered by physical distractions, dianetics is useful as a means
of getting rid of them.  You might need to run out the PC's efforts to cure
the illness.  In a short space of time, it blew anyway on the auditing that
the PC had had, but there was just a moment when it seemed too overwhelming to
permit of actual auditing, so engram running was used to take the edge off."
engram running has some use, and one ought to know how to do it.  Spectacular
things do happen with dianetic auditing.  For instance a goiter the size of a
large baseball could shrink and disappear in half an hour.  The insane can
sometimes run engrams and go sane.  They are just PTS.  They keep wanting to
run the incident that the psychiatrist said wasn't true.  LRH concluded that
being sane or insane has nothing to do with someone's state of case.  Many
people in institutions have been put there for other causes than insanity.
That is one of the things wrong with suspending civil rights because of
insanity.

     Making the able more able may not be as profitable as it could be, but it
is much sounder as a basis for organizational and personal repute and growth.
If you set up to cure lumbosis, you are standing on a slippery log across a
roaring stream, picking up a boulder.  You are in an enturbulated area, and it
is risky and prone to relapse.  It takes a lot of effort, and the auditor
generally gets kicked in the teeth.  LRH's records tend to show that it
doesn't pay to reward the down statistic.  It is getting so that government
penalizes the up statistic and rewards the down statistic (rioters, welfare
cases, etc.).  You could probably be very agreeable with society by rewarding
the down statistic, e.g. if you helped the retarded, etc.  But when you are
standing on a slippery log over a raging torrent, you don't lean over to lift
a heavy rock out of the stream.  [First build a bridge and bolt a derrick on
it.] So we are swimming against the stream of society.  So we are holding a
constant purpose, trying to help our fellow man.  Just doing that would get us
someplace.  The rest of society has been slipping.  If we just held constant,
we would win.  But we are doing more than that.  The size of our movement is
growing.  Everyone connected with it is getting more able as an individual.
The 22 clears are just now enrolling on Part I of the OT Course.  The first 30
clears are to get it free.  So, as society sinks, we are on a rising
platform.

     LRH has received an unofficial statement that if he wanted permanent
residence in Rhodesia, he could have it.  The FDA thing has been dropped by
the government.  The lawyers are conferring to see how they can give the
seized materials back without getting sued.  LRH wasn't allowed to appear at
the inquiry in Australia, because they knew that it would make them look
silly.  We win these things, but no one ever announces the fact in the
papers.  Scientology looks bad, legally, because the newspapers and other
media always report the suits, attacks, and entheta against scientology in
banner headlines, and the fact that we always win -- (in court and elsewhere)
is never reported.  In general, entheta can just be dropped and neglected.
This would always be safe for an OT.  Further down the line, you must take
rapid action.

     The problem of what you do with what you know is determined by the
framework of the society in which you are working.  It is not always the same
solution.  A violinist who went to perform for some lumberjacks would do well
to consider his audience, in deciding what to play.  Working within the human
race, you monitor your use of technology by the society.  Dianetics could be a
good entrance point in some societies, e.g. atheistic or materialistic ones.
It wouldn't be so acceptable in Moslem or Buddhistic scientology, with its
approach to Man as a spirit, wouldn't reach them.  Your problem in
disseminating is just how to tailor your approach to the group that you are
addressing.  In dissemination, you must present to a person only that part of a
gradient of what you know about existence that the fellow doesn't have to
protest and argue with to preserve his own integrity.  You are trying to sell
him what he already knows, down deep.  But this is covered with a lot of false
information.  Somewhere, however, there is an entrance point.  Get the other
guy to contribute, somewhat, to the conversation, so you can have an
agreement.  Never give someone false data, just to get agreement.  Your force
and impact consists of the fact that you speak the truth.  Truth is such a
fast arrow that it goes through, without the guy knowing what is happening.
He may feel that he is under attack.  Give the person something he can use,
e.g. data or processing.  You can select the pieces of scientology that come
nearest to his reality.  Estimate the guy's position on the tone scale, his
problems, his use for scientology data, etc., when disseminating.  If you
don't reach to the person's reality level, you will make him feel as though
you are attacking him.  Give people data they can use, or they won't have much
use for it.  If you do it right, the reaction you will get is, "Gee:  Where
has this been all my life?"

     Dianetics has an important role in dissemination.  It is the finest
dissemination material.  Use it.  People aren't ready (for example) to hear
about scientology's O/W techniques.  But don't practice dianetics on people.
Let them practice dianetics.  The greater truth lies in scientology, but the
experience lies in dianetics.  It teaches people something about the mind.  It
gives new auditors practice in auditing.  LRH has used meter dating with a
newspaper reporter to disseminate.  He got the reporter's last accident with
the meter and managed to turn on somatics.

     The statement in the Introduction to Book One that says that any two
people can cure up to 70% of people's ills, was put there by Joe Winter, not
LRH.

     You can direct someone's attention to a picture and key out the picture.
You could ask, "Has anyone in your family ever had that problem?" and key out
the picture, just by getting him to look at it.  Or you could ask, "Are you
worried?  Did you ever know anyone who was worried? Can you see them
worrying?, etc." Just seeing his first picture gives a person case gain.

SHSpec-75 Releases and Clears




6608C16 SHSpec-75 Releases and Clears

     The problem that we have had with releases is the problem of overrun.  We
have also had lots of unknown data on the extent of the bank.  Buddha made the
same mistake: not being aware of the existence of the bank or the mind, 2500
years ago.  10,000 years ago, there was a monk named Dharma.  Dharma made the
mistake of believing that you didn't have to do anything but become wise.
From him comes the basic philosophical assumption that if you become wise, you
become free.  This is in the woof and warp of today's culture.  The idea that
an individual can exteriorize and that by doing so he can become free was part
of Gautama Siddhartha Buddha's teaching.  That hasn't become part of the
popular culture yet, so we are slightly ahead of our time.  It seems to take
10,000 years for such ideas (e.g. Dharma's idea, given above) to become
central to a culture, so Buddha's idea (see above) has 7500 years to go and
scientology, on the same time table, has 10,000, minus 16, years to go.

     In other zones of the universe, the existence of the mind is known.  In
the Galactic Confederacy, they have a psychotherapy that consists of a
recognition of the fact that, at a moment of fatal accident to a thetan, a
picture is made.  However, they think that it is a location, not a picture.
They take a picture of the location where the thetan was hurt and show it to
him with a movie clapstick-like thing slapped in front of it.  Then the thetan
is supposed to follow suit by doing the same thing to his picture, and thus be
free of its effects.  That is their way of making releases.  That therapy is
administered to the releases in that society that pass for OT's.  They are OT
releases.  That is the closest other therapy to scientology.

     Today's concentration on education, universities, etc., is a result of
Dharma's ideas on wisdom: the idea that education leads to freedom, that you
can't have freedom and ignorance.  He had a tough time.  10,000 years ago, Man
was more of an animal than he is today, so it was more difficult for Dharma to
communicate with them.  [It is interesting that education is an outgrowth of a
desire for wisdom.  Hence scientology is in this mainline.  This would be an
interesting topic for a lecture or a chapter of a book:  the estrangement of
wisdom from education.] It was a terrific advance to get the idea of becoming
free by becoming wise across to the savages of this planet, 10,000 years ago.
This idea is now so widely accepted that the second-largest expenditure of
taxes, after the military, is for education.  At Dharma's time, there was the
knowledge that freedom was attainable, but there was no tech.  7500 years
later, Buddha discovered exteriorization.  Gautama Siddhartha Buddha first
exteriorized under a Bodhi tree.  He thought you did it by becoming wise.  One
of G.S. Buddha's other ideas was that you should be civilized and polite.
And Buddhism civilized three quarters of Asia.  But exteriorization was not
generally doable, to any great degree.  The Tibetan Lamas came along later and
squirreled, trying to develop an explanation of exteriorization or a
technology to accomplish exteriorization.



                                      766

     We are the gainers, from this history, to the extent that there is a
history and acceptance of the idea that the soul exists.  Our gain is that the
idea of the soul has been accepted by many for a long time.  The idea that
there is a soul that goes somewhere after death has dominated Graeco-Roman and
Mohammedan thought for 2000 years.  Socrates originated this idea, in the
present philosophical tradition.  There is a verbal tradition about Socrates
in Greece, that Socrates held forth for the existence of a personal being or
thetan.  Buddhism advanced into the West through the Essenes and
Christianity.  Later, the Nicene Creed developed from the Dead Sea Scrolls.  A
hundred years after its development, it was advanced by Jesus of Nazareth, "a
powerhouse with an already existing philosophy."  The Christian church today
has to contend with the embarrassing fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls predate
Christ and yet contain the New Testament.  This is just the advance of
Buddhism in the Western world.  Christ studied in the East for thirty years.
By the time Gautama Siddhartha Buddha's ideas had gone from India through
Greece, Spain, Ireland, etc., they were alter-ised to, "Man has a soul, but it
is 'over there', and belongs to God, etc."  Buddha' thought became
unrecognizable.

     There has never before been a clear, only releases.  The most that was
achieved by any of these former philosophies was release:

     1.  Dharma: Release by wisdom.

     2.  Buddhism: Release by exteriorization.

     3.  Christianity: Release by repentance and being good.

     In scientology, we just let Bodhi (i.e. exteriorization) happen.  It is
not even that significant to us, because we are going for a permanent state.
However, if, in the course of auditing someone, he goes exterior, you stop
right there.  If you go on, you bang him back into his body and into his bank,
and he will be ARC broken.  A PC exterior is on a harmonic of OT but can't
have it.  He has had a bunch of losses in the past -- bad experiences, like
deaths, associated with exteriorization, and he snaps back in very soon,
scared.  He is not competent to cope with it.  He isn't ready for it.

     You can take someone who has been insane and have him go totally sane by
exteriorizing him.  You can also have someone go out, come back in, and never
know it.  The formula for popping someone out is, "Try not to be three feet
back of your head."

     Buddhism spread like wildfire, because it was such clear-cut truth.  In
one fell swoop, we have capitalized upon the idea that a man who is improved
becomes free.  We have brought Buddhism's twenty year effort to exteriorize
down to twenty seconds.  We have found what kept Dharma's efforts from
perfection and what barriered Buddhism, in a culture that only accepts
Dharma's idea but not yet Buddha's.  Don't be discouraged by failures to get
instant acceptance for scientology.  But notice also that earlier missionaries
had bank and therefore haven't had a pure version of the truth that they were
spreading.  The Christians civilized things somewhat, but there were too many
vias to get very good results with Christianity:  from Buddha, through
Socrates, through the original form of Christianity, through organized
Christianity, through various arguments of Christianity.  Buddhism spread
faster than Christianity, because Buddha's ideas were closer to those of
Dharma.  Buddha was capitalizing on Dharma's idea that wisdom would make you
free, which was acceptable to his society.  It carried the implication that it
was possible to be free.  Asia knew that there was a possibility of Man
becoming free -- a very hard message to get across.



                                      767

     "No matter how information is conveyed, if it is conveyed at all, and it
is truth, it will take root."  So scientology won't really take 10,000 years
to get across.  It will be more like fifty years, at the outside, given how
fast Buddhism civilized Asia and Japan, and given:

     1.  The result that we can produce.

     2.  Modern communication.

     3.  The slightly more barbaric conditions 2500 years ago.

"If you take half a century to get scientology around, you are really slow,
man!  You notice I said, 'you'!"

     When you first address a being, then, you are capitalizing on the past
indoctrination and belief of the being.  You must take this into account.  The
Magna Carta is a direct result on education in Dharma, through the church.
The Spanish Civil War of 1936 was also the result of the philosophy of Dharma,
because, in the decade just before the war, paperback books were introduced.
People read French and English philosophers and got the idea that, now that
they knew something, they should be free.  They actually resisted freedom
though, so it backfired.  Where you fail, in disseminating, is where you run
into someone who doesn't have this assumption.  People have to learn that
individuals should be free or educated.  A government that skimps on education
is either one that hasn't heard of the philosophy of Dharma or one that
suppresses this philosophy out of fear.

     In the West, you are talking to a Christian people who, unfortunately,
think of the soul as an owned commodity that they should not play with.  They
are stunned to think of someone exteriorizing.  They are "really not up to the
idea of Buddha, [though] they have [gotten the idea of] Dharma."  Such people
have gone past Dharma but haven't reached Buddha.  It is to such people that
you are trying to teach scientology.  So don't go in over their heads.
Fortunately, they do agree with the Gradation Scale of Release.  They
understand the idea of clear, as someone who doesn't have barriers to his
thinking or to freedom of his mind.  But they will not understand
exteriorization, which is in the realm of OT.  So talk about clear, but don't
talk about OT.

     There are many undercuts that you could teach him.  Dianetics is not the
lowest undercut.  Only a relatively enlightened public will accept dianetics.
The public will understand the idea of a communication release as a person who
gets rid of his barriers to communication.  They can get the idea that a
person can communicate better, that a person can be released from an inability
to communicate.  A wog, who can't communicate, will think that communications
release is great for stammerers and backwards children, etc.  He thinks it's
great for others, in short.  But he will buy the idea.  Likewise with
problems.  A wog will buy the idea that "Man would be better off if he could
handle problems," and so on, up the line.  There is a high probability that
you will make a connection, somewhere.  The idea that wisdom leads to freedom
is basic on this chain.  It "releases a man from imprisonment by ignorance and
that is your first [form of] release.  Teach a person that if he learned
something, he would be freeer," and he will be "released from the idea that
he can't know."  This is the earliest stage of release.  You would do well to
argue with people on the basis of this first premise: the Dharmic fundamental,
because Dharma's idea is the direct ancestor of scientology.  There is a lower
level of release, one you would use in processing animals.  It is the idea
that an animal could get an idea across to another animal.  This is not
communication.



                                      768

     "You have to know you're in something before you can get out of it."
That is the main difficulty with communicating levels of release.  And people
(Psychologists, etc.) "are not aware of the mind.  They see another bloke.
They don't see any mind....  So he says there is no such thing as a mind,"
only a brain, which can be seen.  But in fact, the brain is just a sort of
neural shock absorber.

     Looking at scientology as a "philosophy" is agreeable to people.  When
you put it this way, you are in agreement with the idea that a person can
become freer, released from some of his travail, by becoming wiser.  So use
Dharma in dissemination.  Your next level of release that is acceptable to the
world at large is that Man is a spiritual being: Buddha's idea.  However,
don't use this.  Wundt, of Leipzig, wiped out Buddha in the West, in 1879,
when he introduced the idea that Man was an animal, so it was OK to kill him.
This is like the Christian philosophy, advanced in the second or third century
AD, that Man was conceived in evil and was evil, so it was perfectly OK to
kill, maim, etc.  It was [and is] a justification for overts.  The Christian
has not found out that the psychologist is an atheist.  This is partially due
to the inarticulateness of the psychologist.  The populace thinks that
psychology is silly, but suppressives and governments support it because it
prevents releasing.  SP's support SP subjects and technologies.  That is why
the government supports psychology and psychiatry.

     In disseminating, you could say, "You are a Christian, aren't you?" Then
he has admitted that he is a spiritual being.  Reincarnation was only barred
in Christianity in the last few hundred years.  The former idea was that guys
who hadn't been good enough had to come back and live it all over again.  If
you can get someone to buy the idea that he is a spiritual being, he is
released from a truth that could trap him.  Possibly this is where you could
introduce the idea of exteriorization, but I don't advise it.

     Dianetics can give one a release from this one lifetime.  That is a
terrific release!  You have "made" an immortal.  The terrible consequences of
death go away.  You can start with the idea that there is a mind.  A, looking
at B, doesn't see B's mind, so he doesn't know that B has a mind.  He may
think that B only has a brain.  You have to put across the idea that because
this fellow [the fellow that you are talking to] has a mind, that that person
has a mind.  With dianetics, it would follow that he is immortal.  Then he is
released from the idea that Man is matter and that he only has one life.
Fortunately, people do know that there is such a thing as a mind and mental
things.  They haven't gotten totally sold on the psychologists' theory that
mind = brain.  So you can move in and introduce the idea of the mind being
composed of pictures.  With a little dianetic auditing, the person will
realize that he is immortal, and you will have released him from the idea that
he is matter.  So you should be aware that you can release people just by
talking to them, up to a point, but remember:  always stop at the "F/N
VGI's".  Don't try to just communicate the data up the chart.  To do so
overwhelms people.  They have to come to realize it.  As you progress up the
grade chart, it becomes progressively more impossible to talk them out of what
they are sitting in.  At Levels VI and VII, it would be fatal.

     (An ultimate release would be release from the universe.)



                                      769

     "When we say 'release' we mean 'freeing'.  We can free someone from an
idea that entraps him.  Ideas are the only real traps and one can get released
from them.  There are many grades of release below Zero.  At Zero and up, we
are starting to free someone directly from his reactive mind, treating him as
a spiritual being.  At Level 0, we are pulling him out of a mass that tells
him that he can't communicate.  So we have to pull him out of mental masses,
as well as out of ideas.  At Level VII and up, we don't pull him out of mental
mass.  We erase it.  We turn around and eat the tiger.  That is a form of
release that we call 'clear'.  But this being at this level is still in the
universe and associated with the body.  There are [therefore] grades of
release above clear.  Not many people below the level of clear look any
higher, though, because clear is a pretty triumphant level.

     When you get an F/N, shut up, because you have just released the PC from
something.  You have to know why he got the F/N to get him through Qual [I.e.
you have to know what he is released on.] Get this data from the auditing
notes, not from the PC.  Most stages of release have only relative degrees of
stability, but a release never unreleases to the same degree of Stygian
darkness that he was in before the release.

     A clear is someone who has erased the barriers to his postulating
freely.  He can, at this point, easily postulate a bank, and some have done
so, not realizing that that was what they were doing.  A clear can postulate a
bank and then not realize that he has done so, or that he can simply blow it.

     We are making dianetic "clears".  The trouble we had doing it earlier
came only from over-auditing people.  Also, don't ever try to teach a guy
something that he already knows.  It is an overrun.  A released person doesn't
tend to relapse, but he may run into the next higher level's sticky plaster.
They haven't unreleased.  They are just enterprising and speculative, and this
drives them into the next level.  Someone who has been released and comes in
the next day with no F/N has just gotten into the next mass that he is going
to confront.

     Releases want others to be released and cleared.  But don't release
people to make them better for others' sakes.  Being released is something
that is a reward, not a right.

SHSpec-76 Study and Intention




6608C18 SHSpec-76 Study and Intention

     The name of the source becomes identified with the product.  Like
Kleenex, the name Dharma became identified with the product rather than with
the source of the product, so that today, you can't find a correct definition
of Dharma anywhere.  The word, "Dharma" does not have its original meaning
preserved.  According to dictionaries, it means:

     1.  Supreme law.

     2.  The Caste system of India.

     3.  Fate.

     4.  Love.

     5.  The Way (in Buddhism).

2500 years ago, Gautama Siddhartha said that the Age of Love was to begin in
the West in 2500 years.  We started the Age of Love by making clears.  They
talk about love a lot.  We are no longer in the Age of Reason, thank God!



                                      770

     A student should be aware of his intention in studying.  Faulty source
may be important in study.  A student tends to assume that the source that he
is studying from has some validity, but this isn't necessarily the case.  In
fact, it frequently isn't the case.

     Difficult exams in universities don't correlate with excellence of
graduates, because, for one thing, study is an area that attracts
suppressives, like the areas of government or healing.  For instance, in
navigation, the method used is what is tested in exams.  But the fact that you
can navigate is all the sea cares about.  Textbooks on navigation are often so
complex that you have to know all about the subject before you can understand
the bock.  Many textbooks on the sea are full of nothing but disaster, in
great detail.  Coast pilots are particularly full of warnings and disasters.
You could write any subject up to make it a suppressive subject, [by making it
seem too dangerous to practice.] On the other hand, you can not give any
cautions about the subject, like leaving out the fact that a wrongly-done S
and D that gets the wrong suppressive will make the PC sick, because it
restimulates [and bypasses] the right one.  The mind has been made too
dangerous to study.

     The writers of textbooks need a knowledge of study materials.

     "As you study, what do you intend to do with what you are studying?" For
what purpose are you studying? Until you clarify that point, you can't study
intelligently.  The trouble with university education is that students study
to pass exams, not to use the materials in practice.  That is scholastic or
academic study, which isn't worth much.  This is why you get failures in
practice after certification.  If someone studies just for examinations, he
doesn't have to know the exact meanings of the words.  Thus we get very
educated dumbbells.

     Some subjects are taught suppressively and are therefore ethics
subjects.  Where a subject is very suppressive, it can be studied for
examination, needing only to be memorized and spat back, but it can't be
applied, because there was nothing there to be understood.  Study gone wild
leads to suicides.  [Cf. French universities at exam time.]  People who are
very successful in life are frequently the drop-outs, who realize that
university texts are not arranged to let you apply anything.  Not a single
philosopher except Mills stayed in school.  A subject that is written up with
a slant or curve is relatively inapplicable too.  Economics is a good
example.  Economics hardly exists in its simple purity anymore.  Similarly,
psychoanalysis has no relation to Freud anymore.  Scientology is studied along
the same lines that it was researched on.  It has no curve to it.  If anything
is inapplicable, you will soon run into it.

SHSpec-77 Organization




6608C23 SHSpec-77 Organization

     A business org pattern wouldn't fit a scientology org because business
orgs have never isolated the principles of organization.  In a scientology
org, you are handling life as a commodity, and you are handling life with a
vessel made out of life.  This is like trying to pour water into a pitcher
made of water.  In this situation, you will find out every frailty in an
organization.  But one law businesses have not violated:  Any organization is
better than no organization.



                                      771

     Individuals as such, operating together, will fall apart when they
collide with an organized group.  Brilliant leadership can only go so far.  It
needs execution.  Otherwise it fails.  An organization will normally win,
unless it is confronted with a superior organization.  An organization
consists of a group of individuals with a common goal or purpose.  There will
never be an org that is perfect, because it is composed of individuals who are
to a greater or lesser degree informed of the rules and in agreement with the
purpose.

     An organization must, to some degree, consist of sentient, irreducible
individuals.  It must depend on the individuals.  For instance, literacy is a
prerequisite for democracy.  England does better than some other democracies
because it has a high level of education.  Individuals in the U.S. have so
many and varying prejudices that none can really take hold.  It also has a
high level of education.  Therefore it is the richest country in the world.
Business management in the U.S. is very tight.  In spite of bad leadership
that will eventually cause trouble, the U.S. is doing well.

     Organization also has drawbacks:

     1.  Limited power of choice of the individual.

     2.  An organization often swallows up the talents and potential
         contributions of the individual.

     3.  It often plays Hobb with the very principles that it is trying to
         forward.

     4.  Wrongly led, an organization becomes a machine that goes straight
         over the cliff to destruction.

But the plus points prevail over the out-points.  Organizations endure better
than individuals.  On the whole track, orgs best survived when led by
keyed-out OT' .  You would think that these individuals would be unorganizable
because of their differences of opinion.  Yes.  They do have differences of
opinions.  But they still realize that it is better to be organized than not.
They also recognize the liabilities of orgs.  Higher posts shift a lot in OT
organizations.  The OT's are a minority group in charge of fantastic
majorities.

     An individual who puts together an organization without knowing how to do
it makes a mess.

     Law of Organization:  A large organization is composed of groups, and a
small organization is composed of individuals.  When a large org is composed
of individuals the individual gets devalued.  You get a lack of comparability
[between the individual and the group of which he is a member].  Therefore,
the individual feels oppressed.  "The people vs.  John Jones" makes a
paranoid.  Therefore, the ideal form of organization is individuals composed
into sub-groups.  If you try to produce a group that is all composed of
individuals and expand it, it goes all to [pieces].  An org will remain a
small group as long as it is composed of individuals.  Income tax is a
violation of this principle, because the individual must report to the
government once a year.  Thus, quite apart from the economics of income tax
[e.g. penalizing up stats], this will make the country grow smaller.  Each
person can be jumped on by the government without a buffer.  You must cut out
the situation of having an organization vs. an individual, and stick to the
situation of the organization vs. a group.



                                      772

     A group does have an optimum size.  Seven or eight subordinates is a
lot.  If a person had only two subordinates, he would loaf.  So the optimum is
somewhere between two and eight.  So we can say that five is optimal.  A big
group, then, would be ten and a small group would be two or three.  By the
time you are getting up into a group of seven or eight, it is best to split
things up into two groups.  The members of each section look to their section
leader.  [This also means that an executive spends one sixth of his time
consulting with higher management and five sixths of his time dealing with his
five subordinates.] A director only looks to his section leaders, and an
[Executive] Secretary only looks to directors.  A danger condition would
consist of an [Exec] Sec giving orders to section leaders, bypassing the
director.  When this happens, the org will get smaller.

     You could move this organizational scheme out to where the org could
contain the population of the planet.  Size means nothing if you know this law
of organization.  Therefore you need an expandable and a contractable system.
The lowest number in a group should be five to six people.  Two people isn't
really a group; it is a pair.

     When the state breaks down the family as a group, the church, etc., the
state shrinks.

     When a manager becomes overworked, his area won't expand.  Therefore, if
you want to expand, make sure your manager isn't overworked.

     You can't have a section that is independent of other sections.  If you
try to have such a section, it will float free and collapse.  It must have
service and communication connections with the rest of the group.

     There are seven divisions on the Org Board.  The Org Board is a cylinder,
a circle.  To show this fact, we put the seventh division in front of Div 1.
You enter the org board at the first department of the first division.  The
org board is organized to impel a particle from the first division on out
through the back door.  Any particle entered early will shunt late.  Div 7
doesn't necessarily catch what is ejected at Div 6, so there is a way out of
the org board.  If you violate the position of anything on this chart, you cut
your throat.

     The order of departments was found by trial and error.  Earlier on, we
got into trouble because we tried to put Origin or Construction in Dept. 9
[now (1976) the Department of Records, Assets, and Materials, in Div 3.]  It
belonged at Origin, so construction had to be back towards source.  If
something is mis-positioned on the board, it will be non-functional and will
cease to work.  The order of the divisions is:

     1.  HCO.  You have to start with communications.

     2.  Dissem.  Dissemination is necessary with the communication.  You must
         tell people what you are going to make.

     3.  Organization Division (Treasury).  This is the division that
         organizes the MEST for the assembly of products.

     4.  Tech.  This division has to do with production.

     5.  Qual.  This division deals with correction or adjustment.

     6.  Distribution.  This division is to get rid of the product.  This is
         also a sales division.  When they are busy getting rid of the
         product, they are also making new customers that enter at Div. 1.

    [7.  Executive.  The first department would be the office of the E.D. or
         general manager.]



                                      773

     The problem in an organization is one of succession, but if you get
management, you don't need succession.  The LRH comm approves anything that is
not against policy, that the ED wants to do.  The U.S. should have the Office
of George Washington.  Each department should have less than or equal to five
sections, or it should be written up again.  Then you get subsections, units,
subunits, etc..  The org board is a flow chart.

     An other primary law of management, the fast-flow system of management:
Don't inspect before it goes wrong.  This just holds up the activities of the
organization and puts in arbitraries.  You don't run an organization by being
super-nervous.  You let something happen.  Then you act.  Don't put in
permanent preventers.  Let the flow go.

     An organization must produce something.  Everyone must have a stat.

     The org pattern would do for a government.  It is far more socialistic
than socialism and far more communistic than communism.  Socialism and
communism are relatively conservative in comparison.  You would introduce
individual companies into your organization as service or production units.

     The reason why divisions are in units of three departments is that you
have the head of the division representing the thetan, and the three
departments representing the mind, body, and product, respectively.

SHSpec-78 The Anti-Social Personality




6608C25 SHSpec-78 The Anti-Social Personality

     [Reference: HCOB 27Sep66 or Introduction to Scientology Ethics, pp. 9-14
"The Anti-Social Personality"]

     LRH has made a complete list of the characteristics of a suppressive
person.  The purpose of ethics is to get technology in.  Ethics doesn't intend
social betterment.  It only intends to ensure case advance by getting
suppressives out of the environment.  An auditor must know about this, so that
he can recognize and handle PTS and suppressive PCs.  This ability to
recognize and handle can prevent an auditor from having loses and invalidating
himself when an SP doesn't make case gain.  When PCs rollercoaster, don't
blame the past auditor or the HGC.  Blame the SP.  A PC who is critical of an
auditor has a missed withhold from that auditor.  The PC who goes on nattering
about the thousands of hours of auditing that he has received, with no gain is
another matter.  You can be too propitiative towards people, whereupon you
can't help them anymore.  You exert no control and don't give effective help.
LRH never owed scientology to anyone.  One of the earliest techniques for
controlling PCs, taken from early dianetics, was to walk out on a PC who
refused to be controlled, with the R-factor that the session would resume when
the PC decided to follow the auditor's directions.  At that point, LRH hadn't
run into failed psychoanalytic cases and people who had been roughed up by
psychotherapy.  There were a lot of these people in the first Foundation.
They were generally PTS or SP's.  These cases are much harder to handle with
auditing than criminals.  The SP on the case may be nowhere near the PTS
individual or the trouble that the PTS causes.



                                      774

     In early dianetics, a PC who got better and then crashed was said to have
been "on a manic".  A person who is "manic" and then gets depressed, however,
has just run into an SP and has gone PTS.  "There is no such thing as a
'manic'....  It's just that psychiatrists hate people in that condition, and
so they promptly cave them in....  The guy says, 'Wow!  At last I realize that
I can be sane,' and 'Isn't the world wonderful?' [The psychiatrist says,]
'Ohmigawd!  You're in a manic.  We've got to give you eighteen extra shocks,
[or pills,] etc.'"  The psychiatrist says that euphoria is very bad.  this
explains away a person's getting better.  And this will be used by SP's
against you, as an argument against scientology.  The only reason for cave-in
or roller-coaster is an SP!!

     Joe Winter's overt was making a deal with the publisher of Book One to
write a book to get the M.D.'s into dianetics:  A Doctor Looks at Dianetics.
He claimed that dianetics was an art, a a "knack" that couldn't be taught.
This led to a complete squirrel non-standard tech being spread all over the
place, with no results.  "I couldn't hold in tech, because I:

     1.  Didn't have control of it,

 and 2.  Didn't have ethics."

Until ethics was gotten in, in organizations, it was impossible to keep tech
in and working fully, because there was no way to hold the line and no way to
get the suppressives off tech lines.  An auditor who doesn't recognize
ethics-type cases, i.e. SP's and PTS's, is setting himself up for loses and
for eventually quitting auditing.

     There is such a thing as a case who doesn't have a wall there, only a
picture of a wall.  The universe for such a person is a very flimsy mockup,
consisting of dub-in.  You can run contact processes on such a person [CCH's]
and he will come back into contact with the wall that you and I see.
Occasionally, he will be startled, while doing objective processes, to see the
wall getting shaky and disappearing.  You may think that you are making him
OT, but you aren't, because the wall is still there for you.  If he were OT,
it wouldn't be.  He will realize that his mocked-up wall is not the wall that
is there.  This individual doesn't have to be an SP, to have mockups in place
of walls.  For the SP, people -- every one of us -- are mockups, too.  We
aren't there.  God knows what is there, in the Place where we are standing.  A
paranoid is a mild version of this.  An SP is not a paranoid.  A paranoid just
thinks people are against him.  An SP is a person who is "surrounded by
identities which others don't see."  The paranoid may see purely imaginary
people, who aren't there at all.  The SP "creates" his enemies out of the real
"whole cloth" of you and me.  He doesn't see his enemies unless another real
person is there to be turned into a pink alligator, a crazed Indian, or the
priests of the Spanish Inquisition.  What is really there in the SP's universe
is something else, other than people, something very threatening and
dangerous. Yet, mostly, this person looks totally sane.  He doesn't
hallucinate. [He is just delusional.] He is stuck on the track: really stuck.
He has never moved beyond the stuck point on the track.  An SP doesn't make
case gain, because a person needs to have at least a concept of motion on the
time track to get from one end of an engram to the other.  The SP can't run an
engram, because he is stuck in a past moment in time and can't move through
through the successive moments of the engram.  You or I might have had an
incident there for a long time without noticing it.  But the SP has had the
world there for a long time and hasn't noticed it!



                                      775

     The anti-social personality has been looked at before, but it has never
been fully described in earlier therapies.  We call such a person a
suppressive, because that is a more explicit and accurate term.  These are the
qualities of the suppressive:

     1.  We speaks only in generalities.  He is always talking about "they"
         and "everybody".  This effects PTS's, so they echo it.  But somebody
         told the PTS.  Newspapers speak of "850 Dead on Holiday", but they
         neglect to state that 85 million people were on holiday.  That makes
         it all look sort of dangerous.  Governments, likewise, govern "the
         people" or "the masses", not the individuals who are actually there.
         This is where the sweeping generality comes in.

     2.  He deals in bad news continually and exclusively.  He is critically
         hostile.  He never relays good news, but may twist good news to bad.
         Bad news will be relayed and worsened.  A very SP person is so batty,
         that when he moves up in the world, he makes this the norm.

     3.  He alters any communication.  He never duplicates.  (Cf. the game of
         "Telephone".)

     4.  He doesn't respond to treatment, reform, or psychotherapy.  The
         really bad SP won't come anywhere near an auditing chair.  "The one
         thing this fellow can not do is confront his own mind."  The SP feels
         that he would go totally insane if he had to take one tiny little
         look at his mind.  That is why the SP goes mad at the idea of getting
         people to look at their own minds.  An SP is afraid that if he deals
         with the mind even slightly, those spooks will move slightly.  SP's
         cannot be reasoned with on the subject of the mind.  Your crime is
         that you have almost made them confront something that they don't
         dare confront.  And you have almost exposed them, because they are
         not under good control, and if they love control, they will be put
         away.

     5.  He is surrounded by others in one or another state of ruin and
         cave-in (PTS's).  Around such a person we find associates who are
         cowed, ill, failing, or not succeeding, if not actually driven
         insane.  When you try to treat these associates, they don't keep
         their gains.

     6.  He habitually selects the wrong target.  This is not conscious.  It
         is not just getting mad at the boss because somebody is mad at you.
         It is very reactive, in the SP.  For instance psychiatrists wreck
         people and SP's in governments attack us.  There is a complete
         dissociation.  It is "Bill failed at college, so therefore we should
         go on a diet,"  not "Bill failed at college.  Therefore we shouldn't
         send his brother, Pete." Because the SP attacks the wrong target, he
         doesn't succeed very will on a job.  This is a saving grace.

     7.  He doesn't complete cycles of action.  If he finds out that he has
         completed one, he has to redo it.  He mustn't arrive, and he doesn't
         arrive, because his time sense is loused up.  He doesn't have the
         idea of consecutive events.



                                      776

     8.  He will often confess to alarming crimes, with no sense of guilt or
         personal responsibility whatsoever.  He doesn't know that there is a
         difference between good and bad behavior.

     9.  He supports and approves of only destructive, downstat, and criminal
         groups and attacks constructive ones.

     10. He approves of destructive actions and disapproves of good actions.
         He says, "It is probably a good thing that we had the war, because
         ... "

     11. Helping others is an activity that drives him
         nearly berserk.  However, activities that destroy in the name of help
         are closely supported.  The idea is to get rid everybody or to make
         them all miserable.

     12. He has a bad sense of property.  He thinks that the
         idea that people own things is a pretense, made up to fool people.
         Nothing is ever really owned, to the SP.

     "Delusions of grandeur" and desires to dominate have nothing to do with
suppressiveness.  The concept of one's own importance does not have any
bearing, here.  An SP may or may not have the feeling of being very important,
as may a non-SP.  There is nothing wrong with dominance.  This is not the same
as suppression.  It is what a person does with dominance that counts.

     An auditor's skill depends on his recognition of the situation in which
he finds himself auditing.  When you manage to isolate a series of
characteristics that give you a certain expectancy, knowledge of this data
becomes valuable.  If you can see several characteristics on an SP in a
person, you can predict the rest and unload.  This is an ethics case.  An
auditor should know that there could be more than one SP on the case.  He
should locate the other SP(s), if the first S and D doesn't get permanent
results, even though it was well done.  You could do a successful S and D and,
at a much later date, the PC could find another SP and roller-coaster from
that.

SHSpec-79 Gradients and ARC




6609C01 SHSpec-79 Gradients and ARC

     LRH coaches with the intention of making his student sound and look like
an auditor.  Coaching is a happy medium between so many flunks that the
student quite and so few that he turns into a lousy auditor.  Any coaching can
be improved.  It is easy to coach if you know what the TR you are working on
is supposed to do.

     The reason for security measures with upper-level materials is because
you have to judge the ferocity of the material against the power of the
individual that you are giving it to.  The only thing wrong with 1950
dianetics was that people were thrown in over their heads.  The clearing and
OT materials look "So what?" when one has finished them, but not before.  If
you skip a half a page or glance ahead accidentally while running them, you
will get sick.  The gradient approach has been a primary and regulating factor
in all of scientology.  It is a new idea, as an overall idea.  A thetan, in
particular, responds very well to this approach.  He responds better than a
body does.  You can do a gradient that is too shallow or too steep for your PC
if you don't correctly judge his reality level confront, etc."  just a little
bit tough all the way" is best, but not so tough that you get failures.  It
should just be hard work.  There are PCs to whom everything is automatic.



                                      777

They have no "trouble" on some process, because they don't perceive the things
in the process.  They have no reality.  In CCH's, there are people who will go
through it with no change at all.  They are aberrated as coots.  There is no
reality to it.  They don't have to confront doing the process, because they
aren't doing it.  At person with no reality on lions or tigers can walk though
a cage with lions and tigers in it.  You must estimate the degree of a
person's aberration to draw up an estimate of what gradient to apply to it.
If you can't make, e.g., a Grade 0 Release, either:

     1.  The PC is already a Grade 0 Release.

  or 2.  Grade 0 is completely over his head.

It is obvious which of these two things is the case, if you know what you are
looking for.  You can undercut it, if you need to, by raising other corners of
the ARC triangle.  For instance, if the PC doesn't go release on Grade 0, you
could audit the PC on various processes to raise A and R.  For instance,
dianetic auditing (e.g.  lock scanning) words as an undercut .  This works
even on the insane.  There doesn't have to be anybody else there but the
auditor.  [I.e.  the auditor runs the bank.].  Usually it is R that you
raise.  Affinity occurs in the process of doing this.  You still have to
estimate correctly what the PC can run.  If the PC is in a desperate
condition, don't do something desperate.  An early entrance point is mimicry.
Doing mimicry on someone makes you real to them.  It is a low level of
communication, but it works very well, especially as a point to at ack, with
someone who doesn't attain Grade 0 Release.

     If you imitate a little kid, or if you communicate with him, he will like
you.  He will pick you out in a roomful of people, not because he knows you,
but because you are real to him.  Below Grade 0, i.e. if comm is really out
or is very difficult, you approach with reality as the entry point on the ARC
triangle.  So you could use mimicry.  However, if you validate insanity too
long, you will stick the PC in a win for his insane behavior.  But you can't
invalidate him either.  Say the guy complains of spiders all over the wall and
himself.  Don't invalidate him.  Pick out the real reality in what he said
("wall" or "me".  To Hell with the spiders.), and focus on that.  And don't
agree about the spiders.  That is a lie, and basically he knows it, so he will
know that you are crazy if you agree about the spiders.  Ask, "What kind of a
wall wouldn't spiders be on?" or "What kind of a wall do spiders like best?"
or "Who would you have to be, not to have spiders on you?", and you will shift
his reality.

     You could get clever with raising reality.  LRH did, in the late
forties.  Unfortunately, lots of therapies sprang from his ran various
things.  In 1949, "every time I audited anybody while [others were] watching,
it became a school of psychotherapy, because they couldn't integrate it....
So it, ill by itself, became an approach, like Gestalt Therapy.  They didn't
have the basic data:  gradient scales, ARC triangle, etc.  They just copied
one thing used in one case."  The error was made, that because this was
successful as an entrance point with one individual, the same gradient had to
be used on all individuals.  For instance, if the PC has policemen on his
front porch, he at least has a porch.  Now, the chances are that he has all
porches identified A=A=A.  If you can introduce [differentiation] amongst
porches, you get an increase in reality and an improved state of case.  But
the squirrels would be stuck in asking the PC about walls or -- worse --
spiders, not realizing that in this case, the proper entrance point would be
"porch", a



                                      778

point of mutual reality.  You would get the PC to differentiate between
porches and drop the A=A=A.  The squirrel never cognited on what LRH was
doing.  He thought that LRH had a "knack".

     "Mathematics is in kindergarten on this planet."  People on this planet
don't understand symbolic mathematics.  Symbolic math is not doing algebra
with symbols.  "It is solving a vast number of non-numerical variables by the
use of comparisons, similarities, identities, and differences....  And ... you
can't write it down."  You mustn't follow the lead of math in applying "the
suppressive generality of a number to the specific entity [e.g. an apple, a
person, etc.] which is being calculated."  Two plus two does not equal and
never will equal four.  You have to specify "Two what?" When you answer,"what"
non-specifically, you have an insanity.  Man's math is insane.  "Zero" is a
wild variable.  You must specify "Zero of what?" "In what interesting universe
is this zero of nothing?" So every time a formula involves zero, as in nuclear
physics, it is a guess which, in fact, is based on experiment, and not on
mathematical prediction.  These guys really don't know what they are doing in
higher math.  Logic, ultimately, "depends on you and your concept of
reality."  Math is actually a low-grade expression of A, R, and C.  A, R, and
C add up to understanding.  Mathematicians, along with others, in denying that
you (a being) exist, has dropped out that which uses the math and understands
it.  "Mathematics cannot exist without live interpretation."  It is always you
who asks the question and you who receives the answer.  If there are no live
beings to understand, there is no mathematics.

     Math could be defined as a method of memory, devised by a living being to
make inanimate objects or other things appear to think or act.  You will be
able to be as much at cause over the whole thing as you are OT, because the
more livingness you exert, the more logical you can be about it.  You will be
as good, logically, as you are clear.  Eventually, you can run up to a point
where you don't need mathematics.

     One of the baffling things about dianetics and scientology is the
question, "How did he figure it all out?" There are lots of formulas.  But it
is an old line, one LRH is very familiar with.  "It's a simple matter of ARC,
... of potential understanding.  You can't stand back and hate men and ...
find out any R about them.  You can't have a total unreality about men --
sitting in some ivory tower someplace ... -- [and hope to get understanding
of or reality on Man].  And communication: You can't go about it being careful
of what you say and [by being afraid to] hear.  Anybody who is easily offended
had better never go into the business of understanding, because it winds up
only with prejudice....  This, of course, explains ... somebody who's
terribly offended by scientology.  He's so offended by what he hears [shut
down communication], he can't understand anything in the first place."  The
first requisite on studying life is to be alive, not dead or disciplined or
approved of.  "In wogs, death really gets people together to approve
something, as in, Don't speak ill of the dead."  "Therefore, the basis of all
scientologic and dianetic research has been understanding."  There was no
mystery involved, just ARC, plus no fear of saying things or looking at
things.  "Awareness depends on how alive you are.  I'm not trying to say I'm
more alive than others.  I just am!"



                                      779

     Reality goes lower -- further South -- than communication, and affinity
goes lower in reach than reality.  This sounds odd, but it is observationally
true.  Insane people with a very low reality can yet feel enough affection to
go sane because I asked them to.  Education doesn't work in the absence of A,
R, and C.

     A, R, and C are the three pins on which you adjust any auditing session
and how you select what you do.  All auditing sessions go by gradients.  There
is no need to depart from what is laid out (in the grade chart) in auditing.
But what about the zone between the org and the world around you?  It is a
problem in:

     1.  Gradients.

     2.  A, R, and C.

For instance, there are two ways to handle intrafamilial relations:

     1.  Individual processing on a gradient.  This is the best way.  It is
         very senior to education.  [When ethics is used to get tech in,] it
         is used to force (the family members to act in such a way that tech
         can go in].  It is not to give advice.

     2.  A, R, and C.  This is limited if no one is present to understand.  If
         they don't understand, they won't even start [the process of getting
         into better ARC].  This is the problem, here.

We keep looking for some marvellous solution to any individual or
organizational problem.  Just realize that "there's no solution at any time
superior to the ability of the person asking for it to understand.  "There is
no math that would help figure it out."  Mathematics is as Good as it can be
employed with understanding and as good as the understanding of who asks and
who receives the answer....  The answer to becoming better at mathematics is
[to] became clearer.  The answer to any problem is to become more alive and
more capable of understanding.  That is the answer which pays off."

     How do you do this?  You Get processed, and you process people.  You are
not in a position in society to reform society educationally.  You can't
educationally inform the public.  All you can say is that there is a way.  The
world's reality on communication is extremely faint.  What they are using the
communication media for is a total malicious waste.  The newspaper is the
modern gossip.  A, R, and C in the world today is not good.  Higher-level data
from scientology is totally out-R.  So what can a clear, 0T, or release do?
He can remember A, R, and C in disseminating.  And he can just be.

     Don't let affinity overwhelm the reality.  Get the affinity and the
reality In.  Don't kid yourself.  You can feel on affinity and get a reality.
Never allow others to cut you back from communication.  Then you will
understand.  Understanding washes away everything.  Understanding is a
universal solvent.

     "Communication ... is always within the reality of the person who can
hear it."  So your communication must be within the reality of the
individual.  You err when you tell people Any more than they need to know:
namely, that there is a way out.  If you tell them more, you bedazzle their
understanding.  An 0T could overwhelm a guy.  He could put him in awe or in a
religious frenzy.  But the OT is actually putting the other person in a
complete unreality is he does this.  The more vulnerable a person is, the less
capable of understanding he is, and vice versa.  "At this particular time, our
power exceeds our understanding," though not by much, and this won't continue
to be true.  So we get into a crisis situation:  "Do we get so tired of them
we just overwhump them, or do we stay true to our own beliefs and, continuing
to suffer the slings and arrows that are thrown at us, still go along in a
high state of ARC?" There is no real argument.  The answer is the greatest
good for the greatest number of dynamics.



                                      780

     So the question is beginning to come up, "What are we going to do with
this planet?" The only mathematics that will solve this question and the
question of how to protect people at lower levels of awareness is the
mathematics of ARC and the Axioms.  We have to be gingerly, because those on
the way up the bridge need protection.  The power of scientology will
inevitably be used for the greatest good of the greatest number of dynamics.
The question is how to minimize the casualties along the way.  But LRH doesn't
have any canned answers about what we will do with the planet.  He has a plan
for keeping scientologists from being wiped out in a cataclysm.  We are at a
crossroads as our power increases.  We have been very forbearing.  We have to
rely on good sense and on keeping our reality from degenerating to where it no
longer matters what happens to the little guys.  Every religious organization
of the past has flunked this test.  I hope we don't.  Luckily ARC increases as
one goes up the levels towards OT.

SHSpec-80 States of Identity




6609C08 SHSpec-80 States of Identity

     Apparently, there is a boundary, beyond which you don't have thetans; you
have endowment of a form with life: the little things that wiggle.  For
instance the amoeba or the cell is endowed.  An OT comes along and says, "Let
there be chicken!" He leaves a puddle of theta to animate it.  this is the
concept of how bodies are built.  There is some truth in the idea that talking
to flowers makes them grow better.   'Way back someplace, the thetan probably
did something like this.  The "green thumb" phenomenon is perhaps a
lower-scale harmonic of this.  There do seem to be people with a green
thetan.  Other natural abilities of thetans sometimes get preserved in or by
individuals in an out-of-control state.  So you get telekinesis, telepathy,
child geniuses, etc.  Jung had trouble with "poltergeists".  Actually, he was
subject to a form of below-awareness telekinesis.  Some skills that are on
automatic will temporarily vanish in the course of clearing.  Suddenly you
find that you can't do it anymore.  But when it comes back, it is you doing
it, instead of a machine or something.

     Jung went into only one past life -- that of the English Druids.

     Anything wrong with a thetan is a lower harmonic of that he can do,
higher up on the scale.  When that goes wrong, his ability on it goes into an
inversion or goes out of his control and still happens in his vicinity, as
with Jung, and puzzles him.  It is just a little facet of his ability that has
been brought down with him and not yet eaten up.  Boy wonders tend to fold up
because they don't know that they are doing it.  It is not under their
control.  The musical child prodigy has probably been a good musician in the
near past.  As you go upscale, you tend to lose circuits.

     If we exempt endowed states of wiggle, we can find out how far down [in
the fifth dynamic] a thetan can go.  The answer is:  someplace in the insect
or animal kingdom.  Above that, you get thetans; below that, wiggle.
Sometimes you run into a horse who is a thetan, and sometimes you run into one
that isn't.  Or a bee who was and a bee who wasn't.  When nothing much is
required of an animal or insect, you can get survival as just a piece of
automatic machinery, unchanging in habit pattern, etc.  It is a shadow of a
thetan because a thetan made it.  You occasionally find vegetables in the
human race: [bodies without thetans].  Maybe sometimes some thetan picks up
the body and it changes spectacularly.



                                      781

A body can survive, although not well, without a thetan.  When it has been
totally guided by a thetan and the thetan leaves, the body isn't on any
automatic functioning, and it won't do well.  Also, if a thetan caves a body
in, the body won't do well.  A body will only get as good as you take away
what is caving the body in.

     Most mammalian bodies live six times as long as it takes them to grow
up.  Thus Man's lifespan should go to 110-120 years.  The reason why it
doesn't is that the human body is driven by a thetan.  An aberrated thetan
causes a sick body.  A thetan with a service fac is quite capable of keeping a
body from getting well.  As a society becomes more aberrated, it becomes more
sick.

     One form of endowed life may destroy another form.  So it shouldn't upset
you that you can cure up the thetan and the body doesn't get well.  There are
a variety of illnesses that a body suffers from because it is being messed up
by a thetan who, with his intention and aberration, is influencing his
physical body.  That body will get as well as you relieve the aberration of
the thetan in those sectors where the thetan is causing the body to get sick.
Therefore, don't assume that all that is wrong with the body is the mind.
But, in addition to the effects of the thetan on the body, there is also a
different seement of illness, caused by endowed life units that are designedly
contrary to the body's life units, e.g. disease germs, [parasites, worms,
etc.].

     Then there is physical injury.  If you hit a body with a battering ram,
it doesn't matter what state the thetan is in.  The body is going to go,
"Splash!" If a body is badly Guided, it is smashed often.  So you can reduce
this category of bodily ills by fixing up the thetan so that he has fewer
accidents.  However, some accident is pretty inevitable in an uncleared
environment.  Another factor is the repairing ability of the being.  If one
were really upscale as a thetan, he could patch up or repair the body
directly, or he could mock up a new one:

     Lower Scale Manifestation: The thetan stops knocking the body about.

     Upper Scale Manifestation: The thetan can put the body back together
                                again.

     So there are three sectors of attack on a body:

     1.  Endowed life attacking the endowed life of the body.

     2.  Aberration of the thetan influencing the body.

     3.  [Mechanical damage to the body.  This would include chemical damage
         (poisons, lack of air, etc.).]

And there are three basic means of cure:

     1.  The thetan can repair the body directly.

     2.  You can use beneficial endowed life units (as in antibiotics) to help
         the body.

     3.  You can repair the body mechanically, as with surgery.  Here, you can
         repair damage [or misplaced parts -- e.g.  from faulty construction
         of the body] or cut out endowed life forms [infected tissue or
         cancerous tissue] that attack the endowed life of the body. [Chemical
         repair could be in this category also, e.g. antidotes, oxygen, water,
         etc.]

     Therefore, to assume that you can cure everything with auditing is as
silly as to assume that you can cure fear of spiders by means of
neurosurgery.  Beings do tend to an "allness", a cure-all propensity.  "As
long as you are not able to endow matter with life, you have to settle for
what you've got."  You have to live with the body you've got, or do without
one.  So you have to decade whether



                                      782

you are looking at:

     1.  Endowed life forms countering each other.

     2.  Pure mechanical injury.

     3.  Something the thetan is doing to the body.

You are better off in the last sphere.  The first two need to be handled in an
emergency, but the thetan is quite capable of preventing a body from
recovering, e.g. with a service fac.  So auditing can act as a before or after
adjunct to the handling of (1) or (2), above.  You could make a thetan less
susceptible to (1) or (2), and you could come along after the fact and speed
up healing, to the degree that the thetan was preventing it from happening.
Your only mistake is to run the incident while it is still going on.  Treat it
first.  And don't get into an allness about auditing and its healing effects.

     The mechanism of miracles, using religious relics or tokens, e.g. a
saint's knuckle bone, is a restimulation of the curative abilities of a
thetan, if they existed.  That is, the thetan's idea of his own power is
restimulated by demonstrating that there is power somewhere.  nut this is a
mental Intervention.  Faith healing restores, momentarily, a thetan's OT
ability to do something with the body.  It has drawbacks, since every now and
then, when a body was endowed by thetan A, when thetan B comes along and puts
some life into it, it will get sicker.  Some faith healers have not lost the
ability to endow life or change the life endowment of a body.

     You can look around the eyes and get the stars that you can see
surrounding them.  These are little gold balls.  Throw them away and put in
your own, and you can get sicker.  Bodies don't like having their anchor
points messed around with or exchanged.  To complete the experiment, throw
your gold balls away and get the other ones back.

     There are many things that Man didn't know about beingness or life.
Therefore he made fantastic mistakes.  Don't make these mistakes.  Recognize
Man's limitations relative to this.  Recognize also that they are not your
limitations, but that they are Man's.  Therefore, you need an understanding of
states of beingness.  A caved-in thetan is on a reverse.  He is totally the
unknowing effect of his own cause.  Anything he can do is being done, but he
is not doing it.  He has lost some of his ability to have even that happen.
He is totally gone.  So estimate how far down he can go.  He can go down to
being the effect of the effect of the effect, etc. of himself.  But this is
'way beyond his reality, so don't expect him to got any reality on how he is
doing it.

     When you get a body animated by a thetan, as opposed to having a body
that is merely endowed, you go into a fringe that is well below being oneself
or being conscious.  One is sort of automatically awake, automatically
existing, with no responsibility for being alive, awake, or existing.  Just
below that, you get unconsciousness.  Below where he has a clue that he is
conscious, you are getting down to the lower dregs [of thetanhood] and the
upper strata of the human race.  The thetan conceives that he is a body:
endowed life and no more.  He is a removed something.  He is an identity, a
body.  He can be picked up rapidly from there to the state of Grade 0
release:  quite a distance.  A Grade 0 release is less the effect of causes,
but he is not up to causative alertness.  He is awake or groggy on an effect
basis.  As he improves, he gets to be less the effect. both of his own cause
and of others' cause.



                                      783

     A guy who is really low down on cause is the effect of anything that
occurs anywhere.  He worries about "train wrecks 8000 miles away."  He could
go downscale from that point, so that he doesn't worry anymore, because he
doesn't exist and isn't worth anything, so it doesn't matter what he is the
effect of.  He can go down below that into faith:  "I have an automatic
regulator of my destiny, so I don't have to be alert or be concerned about
anything, because something somewhere is taking care of me."  This isn't
necessarily connected with a religion.  People will mock this state up for
themselves, without even knowing that they are doing it.  At this point, the
thetan is totally irresponsible.  Going downscale from there, he goes into a
sort of numbness -- a further release from responsibility.  Below this, he is
subject to any number of automaticities, which, if triggered, would produce a
total, certifiable insanity.  The majority of the human face is about a
quarter of an inch above that.

     That is why many people don't listen to you.  Their state of beingness
isn't up to it.  You must keep the above in mind when asking a wog to look at
responsibility.  An individual, asked to look at his mind as a cause or an
effect, can get into such anxiety, instead of looking into himself, that he
goes frenziedly mad.  Say that we were in an arena.  Someone let in a tiger,
and you said to Joe, "Jump over the railing and deal with the tiger."  He
would think that you were joking at first, but if you tried to force him over
the railing, you would have a fighting, screaming person on your hands, who
would be liable to say most anything.  So it is with the SP, when you get him
to look at his mind, e.g. to look at breakfast.  SP's aren't trying to
disprove scientology.  There is no doubt in their minds that you could make
them do things, and the thought terrifies them.  The SP thinks that you are
likely to drive him mad.  SP's think that they are public benefactors who are
discrediting scientology so that people won't have to look at their minds.  An
SP is below being able to be the effect of anything, even an automaticity.  So
when you bring him upscale, the first thing he has to confront, that he might
possibly be the effect of, is the mind, and he goes, "Sting!" He goes a bit
insane.  SP's are below the level of Insanity.  [So they have to come up
through a band of insanity.  Cf. R.D. Laing's idea that the path to sanity
is through insanity.] They are below the level of being the effect of
anything, good or bad.  Any effect is bad, so they have to be an automatic
thing [cause] that has an automatic effect.  Actually, they are a and A'ing
with an endowed self.  Your presence, however, can bring them upscale.  You
can be up to the point where your ability to endow is on automatic, and you
get guys twitching around you.  When you get to OT, that comes under control.

     There has [always] been a way up and a road out, but it hasn't been
pursued, because philosophers are thoughtful types.  They are noted for being
reasonable and getting themselves martyred.  But few stand up strongly when
the firing squad marches down the street.  Voltaire got reasonable.  A
breakthrough like this isn't a scholarly affair.  It has to be done with a
"Here goes nothing!" attitude.  To follow up on scientology, a person would
either have to be very reassured in a very quiet environment for a
considerable period of time, if the person was pretty bad off, i.e."
normal".  He would have to be calmed down before he could confront something.
The percent of people who can confront is the upper one percent of the
planet.  When you have the ability to confront, it is possible that you could
exert enough influence on the environment ("possible" is a horrible
understatement) to calm it down to a point where he could confront and
disenturbulate it enough to make gains.



                                      784

     To handle the insane, you go down to what he can confront:  being still
in a still environment, with no one worrying him, with one solid, stable
object.  You could let him disenturbulate in this environment.  The psychotic
"doesn't have engrams that make him insane....  He is insane because his
ability to confront the environment in his immediate vicinity is so low that
he could never possibly take his mind off [his environment] long enough [to
look at his mind.  It is] too dangerous.  Just as your super [SP] screams when
you tell him to confront his mind, the psychotic screams when you tell him to
confront the environment."  Hence, a quiet environment is the only "cure" for
insanity.  "Insanity is a study of environments.  It's not a study of the
mind."  There is no reason to audit the insane at all.  When the environment
is very safe and the individual is no longer actively insane, then, on a very
light gradient, you could get him to confront the mind.

     Scientology's problem is not the problem of making one OT.  If clears
have trouble communicating with wogs, OT's have even more trouble.  You could
endow a crippled boy's leg with life and heal it.  This would be OK, unless
you tried to explain what happened.  Possibly, he would come upscale to faith,
but he would be more likely to go into terror than into faith.

     Your main line is the improvement of the being who is willing to be
improved.  Doing this, you will get enough improved beings to handle the
problems in society that must be handled to snap the society out of being
insane.  You don't want to lift people up by faith, though, but by hope: the
hope that maybe some day they could do something about it.  First, you give
him the hope that you can do something for him or about it, then that he can
do something about himself and "it".  Then the small hopes materialize.

     States of beingness that Man will recognize do include saints, gods,
miracle men, and messiahs -- all sorts of beings.  Because Man is familiar
with Superman, Batman, etc., he tends to attribute these characteristics to
anything that is a step forward for Man.  In the past, they would have
attributed the characteristics of saints to scientologists.  In Greek society,
it would have been the characteristics of gods.  Man is capable of conceiving
of such beings, as long as they are unreal and exterior.  They are OK if
looked at through a holy book or something.  "What Man can conceive and what
Man can confront are two different things."  A Catholic priest professes a
belief in supernatural phenomena, but what would he do it Christ's hand
suddenly appeared, disembodied, and started turning the pages of his breviary?
"Similarly, what a being can conceive he can become and what he can confront
being" -- there is a gap between these two things.

     We need further definition to distinguish clears and OT's.  A clear has
lost the matter, energy, space, and time connected with a thing called "the
mind".  He is not an all-knowing being.  He moves up through becoming cause
over the matter, energy, space, and time of his mind.  An OT is a being who is
knowing and willing cause over life, thought, matter, energy, space, and
time.  That definition doesn't say, "a mind".  "Life" includes endowed cells,
not only or necessarily other thetans.  The OT may or may not be able to
handle another thetan, but he can handle this commodity called "life".  So
there is a big gap between clear and OT.  A clear makes a not-too-aberrated
human being almost fly into pieces.  This happens to a minority of people, but
it does give an element of fear connected with clears.  You are making people
confront something



                                      785

that is somehow a little bit within their ken.  You will not find them tracing
the source of it.  It isn't bad for them.  If they sat around long enough,
they would run out all the pictures.  A clear puts "normal people at effect,
without trying to do a thing.  He just has a sufficient zone of beingness,
that what falls into that zone ... is liable to be ... as-ised ... or go into
some sort of action."  Sometimes people fear clears a little and don't quite
know why they feel that way.  They don't necessarily associate the feeling
with the clear.

     Even a Grade IV release can be so much calmer and more at cause than the
environment, that his presence can be therapeutic.  So, as you come downscale
to a Grade IV release, they stand out rather remarkably, and they are still a
little bit out of reach.  As you go downscale from there, you get [a person
who is] more able to disseminate, because he more closely matches the reality
level of the rest of the environment.  As you go down the release stages, you
get closer and closer to an ability to influence another without causing a
mess, directly, immediately, understandably, and without restimulation.  The
bridge stays in, as a gradient for dissemination.  Even the Book One clear was
looked upon with considerable awe.

     A Bodhi is probably below a dianetic release.  It is stable for from two
seconds to two years.  But Buddhism's promise to make a Bodhi was enough to
civilize three fourths of Asia.  Having moved out of the reality of wogs, the
scientologist tends to compare himself with other scientologists.  He is
unaware of his state of beingness until he is surrounded by wogs.  That makes
him somewhat unhappy in the company of wogs.  As you go up towards clear,
this is less true.  If you go out in the wog world as a clear, they don't spot
you as source.  You tend to produce certain phenomena.  You give the
impression of being in command even when you don't do anything to command.
People will say, "I have to concentrate to talk to you," or "You have such a
command of the situation," when nothing is being commanded.  You don't bother
to use this.  Mainly, life becomes easier.

     The pity of these states of beingness is that there is a limit to what
one being can do for another.  You can do a lot, but you can't live another's
life for him.  What you can do is:

     1.  Provide a safe environment.

     2.  Show a way, a methodology.

     3.  Provide for the ethical application or administration of
         methodology.

     4.  Give advice.

     5.  Pervade the environment with calmness.

     6.  Mock up a new leg for a crippled boy.

But that is the limit.  The rest is up to the other guy.  Unless you lead the
person to increase his own beingness, he will never arrive.  This is the point
that has been missed in all prior attempts to better Man.  The only
"miraculous intervention" there is or ever will be, comes from the person
himself.  He must overcome the terror of becoming the effect.  He must be led
upwards by an unenturbulated environment to destimulate enough so that he can
put his own feet on the road out and walk.  You can help him only with those
first steps.  Helping the individual is the only way to help humanity out.

SHSpec-81 Government and Organization




6611C01 SHSpec-81 Government and Organization

     A good government is in the realm of invention at this point.  Man is so
afraid of a bad turn in a benign monarchy that he can't have one.  He is
afraid of an SP getting into power.  Also, a benign monarch can't wear all of
his hats.  What makes a government bad is that it gets an SP into it.  One SP
breeds others, as an SP wants other SP's around him.  Generals that advocate
wars of attrition are SP's.  They are just trying to knock off as many troops
as possible.  The best military training is to do the most in the least time
at the least expense, and to keep your own people from being banged up.  The
objective is to win.  That is the proper conduct of war.  You also want to
inflict the least possible damage to the enemy, because you will have to put
the enemy back together again if you win.  This is a proper war.  But the last
four wars were wars of attrition.

     All governments consist of a body of beings against the individual.  The
better a government is, the less against the individual and the more for the
individual it is.  Total suppression exists where the government is everything
and the individual is nothing.  The opposite extreme can be equally
suppressive: Anarchy, where the individual is everything and the government is
nothing.  In an anarchy, any bum or suppressive is totally at liberty to knock
anyone on the head.

     There is no perfect government.  The individual is as close as you will
get to a perfect entity.  Why do you need a government?  Because any
organization can win over individuals.  We thetans got to where we are today
because we didn't organize as a body of thetans.  Instead, we let the bad guys
organize into a body to get us.  This is the only big omission on the track.
OT's didn't handle it on their own feet.  Any group of organized humanoids can
defeat any OT.  However, this requires that one know something about the laws
of organization.  Without an organization, the individual would have to
maintain constant vigilance, because he only has to lose one battle to lose
everything.

     You want an org that is minimally restrictive and maximally effective.
In a benign monarchy, the individual doesn't have to have much say, because
everything is taken care of.  When you turn over the government to a group,
however, confidence in the government is shaken and the individual must have a
say.  Of course you don't let individuals make all the decisions.  This would
lead to a clown government.  No individuals can all know enough to be
meaningfully involved in every little thing.  There never has been a
democracy.  The Greeks never had a democracy.  Just fifty landowners formed a
senate.  The senators didn't even represent anyone.  Therefore, it was not
even a republic.

     Republicanism is a mean between the extremes.  If you make proper
qualifications necessary for the holding of office, e.g.  that a person not be
below Grade IV, that person and other similar ones, forming a senate, being
specialists in the issues at stake, could be sufficiently informed and have
enough time to think about it to actually govern.  So if scientology took
over, you would have a republican government.

     After you have chosen the governor, he is free to govern, without any
"Yak! Yak!", unless some weighty issue comes up for a referendum, e.g. a
change in the status quo or in the form of government.



                                      787

     England's failure to allow the American colonies representation in
Parliament was an error in tech that caused a rift.  When a group feels that
it can't be heard, it ARC breaks.  This is the sort of ARC break that always
precedes a war.  Hitler said something that wasn't acknowledged, and vice
versa.  So thirty million men were killed.  In emergency situations, a benign
monarch is the best system.  There is no time to consult anyone anyway.  But
in time, a benign monarch gets tired and overworked, and he can't acknowledge
everybody who speaks.  So, unless he gets backed up by a representative body,
you get a dissolution of the organization.  The nominal head of the
organization should be out of the way, except in an emergency, while the
country is run by a representative body corporate.  Such a body has great
liabilities.  There is a lack of total responsibility [to the constituents],
so individuals in the group don't think fast enough.  Therefore it is best not
to have a generalized body corporate running the government.  It must be
specific in its representation, unlike the pattern of a board of directors.
Each member of a board of directors nebulously represents "the stockholders".
However, here, there is cross-representation.  This generality goes into
suppression.  If "the people" are represented, then they could [logically]
only be represented by one person.  That is why a benign monarchy works.
There is no cross-representation.  But as soon as the monarch gets a body of
advisors, that doesn't represent the people.  More than one representative
would have to represent exact segments of the population.  When too many
people are represented by one person, the distance becomes too great, and the
people feel unrepresented.  But if they can communicate with their
representative and get action, they feel that their governmental hat is well
taken care of, so they can relax.  The U.S. has two senators per state.  This
violates the above principle of representation.  Electoral districts, however,
do have direct representation.  There is a further representation in state
government, which can receive [certain] orders from the federal government.
The U.S. government, however, has no representative in Colorado.  It only has
covert agencies there.  The Colorado state assembly cannot address the U.S.
Government.  There is no direct line from the state assembly to the U.S.
assembly or the Senate.

     Before you can have a governmental system [that is any good], you have to
have the tech of scientology to detect and improve abilities in people and
ethics tech to detect suppressives.  You also need the communication formula,
ARC triangle, ARC break tech, etc.

     If the people have a senator, why have a representative? The outcome is
that the individual states and the U.S. government are in violent conflict.
Hence the Civil War.  When these comm lines don't exist, an individual goes
into apathy.  You get a dictatorship of "the people" vs. the individual.  Or
you get a situation where every man is the dictator.  Representation can be
pretty big, because not everyone appeals at once.  But if everyone does appeal
at once, then the representative had better do something fast.  War is caused
by incompetent government, which causes a breakdown in the comm line between a
[constituent] group and the society that surrounds it.  The society that
surrounds it may be so incompetently governed that the inner group has to be
nearly perfect to work its way forward.  Scientology has this quality.  We
also keep trying to be better, at least whenever there is a down statistic.



                                      788

     In scientology, there are lots of built-in safeguards in the system, so
there is no immediate need for elective representation In the future,
elections will be required, when scientology gets bigger.  Then exact
representation will occur.  No junior governing body may be given orders by
any senior governing body, in which it is not represented.  Conversely, very
senior governing bodies should not give orders to junior governing bodies,
from which they do not have a representative.  That ensures a two-way
communication situation.

     The Advisory Council.  The International Advisory Council would be made
up of representatives of continental parts of the world and executives who
represent types of divisions of orgs.  It would have about fifteen members.
Rule: No one may initiate a motion unless that motion has been formed into an
issuable directive.  If a person wants a policy letter framed, he must write
it up.  Rule: The chairman is given the power of absolute veto, unless three
quarters of those present vote to continue discussion or voting.  This will
prevent endless hobby-horsing.  A proposal could be referred for special study
elsewhere, to be brought up later.  This way, point of origin of policy
letters is stated, since that person wrote up the policy letter before it was
passed.

     Members of the International Advisory Council represent the continental
Advisory Councils, but they also represent all orgs on that continent.
Therefore, someone from part of that continental area who feels that he is
being done in, or something, could write to his representative in the
international body.  As the system expands out, the individual would find out
that he had a representative in his local continental body.

     A member of the ad council, on majority signatures, can get an urgent
directive out on short notice, provided a B. of I. is convened later to
determine if it was the right action.  Unless a policy change occurs, an ad
council directive is only in effect for a year, unless a policy letter is
issued.  The purpose of this rule is to prevent arbitrary laws from being
arbitrarily introduced needlessly.

     The advisory council has representatives from five continental areas plus
one from St. Hill and a divisional organizer [for each division].  He
represents every divisional secretary of that division in the whole world.
His job is to compile all the materials and specifications.  It is too much
work for such a person to do this and hold another hat at the same time.  So
if a person can't get books, for instance, he would write the Div 2 divisional
organizer.  If the stat of the divisional organizer is down, he would get into
being an authority.  He can get militant in the ad council.  The ad council
can then issue what the divisional organizer has already written up in
advance.  It is issued on the flash color of that division, and it applies
only to that division.  The Divisional organizer is not operating those orgs,
so he does not act as a bypass of the OES of those orgs.

     Conversely, we will have the St. Hill or WW representative in
continental ad councils.  LRH comm can also serve this purpose.  He has no
authority, but he can be talked to, and he can explain what WW is doing.

     Every divisional secretary in orgs becomes a member of the ad council
[for that org].  The LRH comm is also on that org's ad council, to represent
HCO.  Thus we get an eight-man ad council.

     Sooner or later, we will need a representative of the ad council in each
of the divisions [of the org].

     With a continental org that has three other orgs plus itself, you get
four ad councils, composed of secretaries and exec secs.



Thus, you get a ten-man ad council, [composed of the seven divisional heads,
plus the LRH Comm, plus the OES plus the HAS.] Each junior org would have to
have a representative in the senior org.

     We are dealing with basic ethics and organizational tech.

     It really helps to have all beings in the org cross-policed by stats.
Stats don't ever "happen".  They are always made, and you have got to find out
what is making them.  In a downstat situation, the errors are always gross.
The greatest source of downstats is: no personnel on the-post at all.

     If you get a stuck flow going on for too long, with no return flow, you
get an apathy on the other end.  [Cf. the S.O. 1 Line] People want to talk to
LRH to find out if he is there.  It is to get the back-flow going.  The main
problem is in the relationship between the individual and the corporate body.
A corporate body that can't act swiftly will cause a lot of upset.  A
situation where any citizen can clobber the corporate body is equally
suppressive, because that person will also clobber other individuals.  The
problem is to set up something that resolves the relationship between the
corporate body and the individual.

     1.  The individual must be able to get justice from the corporate body.

     2.  He is entitled to bright management.

     3.  The corporate body can expect contribution and compliance from the
         individual.

All it takes to make an organization is to avoid violating these.  When you
get the consent of the people and respect for the government, the thing will
go on and on.

     On other planets, Empire selection of governors was based on state of
case.

     When you put in a government, put in a review of that government.  This
happened to some extent in the U.S. with amendments to the constitution, but
no one reported back to the original body that created the government.

     A governed people who do not understand the theories or postulates of the
government or the laws, can be pretty dismayed and confused.  They are afraid
that the relationship between the government and the individual will not be
safeguarded.  They may even be represented and don't know it.

SHSpec-82 "OT" and "Clear" Defined




6611C29 SHSpec-82 "OT" and "Clear" Defined

     A majority of scientology's major executives are now clear.  LRH noticed
that the statistics of divisions were in roughly the same range as the case
state of their heads.

     We have tried to put together a scientology dictionary.  It requires work
from LRH to make sure that the definitions are complete.  He will take
students' requests on cards and define the words.

     OT: Operating Thetan.  "Operating" means "Manipulating, handling".  You
operate a car, etc.  Also, oneself can operate; one is operative.  "Thetan" is
from the Greek letter, theta, traditionally used to mean thought.  The letter
"n" is added to "theta" to make the noun, "thetan".  We mean by "thetan" "A
life unit ... a being.  An individual who is alive and who is capable of
thinking [and being] -- a spirit inhabiting the body."  In Greek times, theta
was the thought in a person, as opposed to his body.  The thetan inhabits the
"clay" and moves it around.  To that degree, anyone who can move is operating
as a thetan.  But "OT" means someone who "can operate without



                                      790

a body....  A being who is cause over thought life, matter energy, space and
time."  Someone who is being cause is being "a source of action or impulse,"
as in cause-distance-effect.  This state is quite different from the state of
clear.  It is someone who can operate without the encumbrances of the common
clay.  There are degrees of operation.

     Wog.  A "common, everyday garden-variety humanoid....  He 'is' a body.
[He] doesn't know he's there," etc.  He isn't there as a spirit at all.  He is
not operating as a thetan.  The term comes from "Worthy Oriental Gentleman",
from the days of the British in Egypt.  A humanoid is one who has human
characteristics, by which we do not mean that he is human in his treatment of
things.  He isn't.  It is simply that he is a body.  He isn't there as a
spirit at all.  He will develop a philosophy that says that everything is
matter, including the self.  Wog is not the bottom end of the scale, which
would include psychotic, neurotic, catatonic, etc.  This would be someone who
didn't even know that he was MEST.  OT isn't the top end of the scale,
either.  At the top, you would have a harmonic of the wog: "a thetan who
didn't have to operate ... at all," in an almost unattainable absolute,
outside of MEST altogether, so he would be serene, calm, and dissociated with
the physical universe -- not in the time-stream.  Someone at the bottom of the
scale is the effect of everything.  He has to cause everything and can cause
nothing.  Someone at the top would be potentially able to cause everything,
but wouldn't have to.  But this is a no-game condition, and thetans are
idiotic enough to like to have a game going.  A PTP exists when one has to do
something about something.  When audited thoroughly, a person is no longer
affected by the problem.  Similarly, in Serenity, one doesn't have to do
anything about it.  But one of the native characteristics of a thetan is
messing around.  He gets bored at Tone 40.  So just below 40.0, you get OT.

     At the beginning of the universe, the thetan was potentially omniscient
and omnipotent, but he had no experience and knew nothing.  He was pretty
stupid.  When you put someone back to the state of OT, you are putting
somebody back who is different from anyone else on the track.  He is operating
with experience.  When we say, "OT", we mean "clear OT".  A released OT is
someone who is exterior and feeling great; feeling powerful.  For just plain
OT, we can just call it "exterior".  There has hitherto never been anything
but a released OT.  There are two parallel lines:.

     1.  How much is someone out of his bank?

 and 2.  How much less bank does he have?

     Using techniques developed in 1952, you can bang nearly anyone out of his
head.  He then exhibits the characteristics of a being who is not influenced
by a body.  This state can last a third of a second, or it can last three
hundred years.  It will make someone sane who is insane, but since one has
aberrations as a being, not just as a body, exteriorizing doesn't get rid of
all his aberrations.

     Gautama Siddhartha was exteriorizing people in 523 B.C., making a state
called "Bodhi".  We can make a Bodhi (a Buddha) in thirty seconds.  The Lamas
in Tibet developed practices to assist exteriorization.  When the Lamas
couldn't exteriorize people, they redefined "Bodhi" to mean someone who was
calm, refined, serene and had benign conduct.  It is the mental mass that
prevents exteriorization.  This mass is a composite of the thetan's own
pictures and aberrations that pins him to the body.  Some people are harder to
exteriorize than others.



                                      791

     It is the mental mass called "the mind", with its pictures and masses,
that prevents some people from exteriorizing.  A thetan exterior is simply
outside a body.  This happens inevitably at death.  It is only the worry about
getting a body that makes a thetan unhappy.  An operating thetan is a thetan
exterior who can have, but doesn't have to have, a body, in order to control
or operate thought, life, matter, energy, space, and time.

     Nirvana was added to Buddhistic doctrine at a later date.  The original
idea was just to get away from the continual cycle of rebirth.  There is no
goal to operate in Buddhism, however.

     Someone who is a thetan exterior but not clear or OT may be in very bad
shape.  He may barely be able to get to a maternity ward.  He has no power of
choice over what body he gets.  Etc.  And sometimes, a thetan suddenly regains
his OT abilities, without knowing how he did it.  This is quite rare.  It
frightens observers.  Suleiman, in The Arabian Nights, produced a big scare
about thetans.  [LRH describes the embarrassment of the thetan in a battle, who
hasn't noticed that his body has been killed, and who just keeps hewing away
at the enemy on the battlements, until he notices that what he thinks is his
sword goes through the enemy without touching them.  Then he looks down in the
mud and sees his old body.] A very aberrated OT could exist.  He might
accidentally discover that he can move MEST, make sound, etc.  He is liable to
do most anything, because he is operating automatically.  He is not able to
control these manifestations.  E.g. he may produce poltergeist phenomena.
This would be a released OT.  Those beings can be upset.  This is a
higher-scale wog amongst thetans.

     It is also possible to be exterior, knowingly, but unable to move
anything or cause things.  One eventually gets tired of this and wants a new
body.  Previous released OT's had no one with whom to associate.  A person who
went thetan exterior had no hope of anything else.  He had a shut track.
Therefore the game of being a body became functional.  Actually, an OT could
mock up a body out of whole cloth.  How else do you have a body?  An OT like
the above, with or without the ability to move objects, is not a clear OT.  He
is a released OT, since he doesn't understand his state or what he is doing.
But the scientology definition of OT is clear OT.  "A clear OT knows what [he
has done and what he] is doing....  He is a clear who can operate like
Billy-O."

CLEAR

     "A thetan without a bank," in or out of a body.  The source of the bank,
the being himself.  He is making himself the unknowing and unwilling effect of
his own bank.  He is causing himself to receive, unwillingly and unknowingly,
the effect of his own bank.  The person compulsively makes up pictures.  When
he is bad off, all he's got is a blanked-out picture, a black mass that covers
up the picture, or pressure that crowds the picture into oblivion.  [The Black
Five.] Below that, you get random pictures that flick by on automatic.  The
word, "bank" is taken from electronic computer terminology, meaning a card
system, a file system.  The machine pulls out certain data cards and puts them
into operation or computation in the machine, so that the machine can solve
problems.  The bank-bound thetan is peculiarly affected by and operates on
banks.  "There is no such thing as a crazy thetan.  There is a thetan who is
mocking up craziness that he is the effect of."  Otherwise, there would be no
hope.  You can ask a guy with a fixed picture or a chronic picture, "What part
of that could you be responsible for?" This is a good process for the guy who
doesn't know that he has a mind.  Someone can be so not-ised



                                      792

that he isn't aware that he has a mind.  The level of not believing in a mind
is below the level of not being able to see the mind, or pictures.  Above
being able to see the mind is not having one.  "All [mental] masses do is not
furnish you with data as they seem to do but charge the area of the data up,
so that you can't directly recall it, and you get hit ... by the picture [or
mass], and you think the picture is giving you the data.  So therefore you
'mustn't get rid of the picture,' because if you got rid of the picture, then
you 'wouldn't have the data.' ... This is silly, because if you didn't have
the picture, then you could recall it all," without consequences.  A clear
doesn't have a mind, in that he is not the effect of this picture mechanism.
But the clear still has the MEST universe around, and he still uses a body
that isn't very strong and is made of cells that aren't invulnerable.  So the
fact that a person is clear doesn't say that he won't get sick, because there
are such things as bacteria and viruses, and the body has finite strength.  It
is idiotic to measure a clear by his health.

     When a clear exteriorizes, he may be a clear exterior, unable to talk,
etc., like a baby having to learn to walk.  The state is stable, since he has
no bank to snap him in again.  When a person is clear, he can more easily
become exterior.

     [There are 140 clears as of this date, according to LRH.]

     Getting someone from clear to OT is a job of proofing him up, so that
even if he mocked up a bank, he wouldn't be the effect of it.  A cleared OT is
a proofed-up being who won't hit the banana peel.  You could probably fix up a
clear exterior so he would go exterior to the physical universe.  You could
use a command like, "Try not to be outside the physical universe."  This would
make him exterior from the universe, but that would be unstable until he was
no longer at effect relatively to the physical universe.  He would be
unstable, since he is still the effect of MEST, life, and thought.  But a
person who can be at cause over something is not necessarily at total effect
of it.  That doesn't mean, however, that he has nothing to do with it.
Because you can fix a car is no reason why you can't enjoy one.

     Our adversary is the complexity of the "wisdom" of the ages, suppressed
and combined to keep people from doing it.  It takes a lot of blood, sweat,
and tears to face this sort of thing.  There is nothing mild about the way
course supervisors continue [to do their job].

     There is "probably a greater distance between clear and OT than between
wog and clear."

     A clear OT is "a walking miracle who ... comprehends the miracle." So
knowing and willing cause is part of the definition of OT.  It is not an
accidental or automatic state.  You get to a point where you can turn
automaticities on and off.  Doing it on an unknowing basis is far inferior.

     "If this crosses up your own reality in any way, shape, or form, by all
means don't [change] your own reality.  Just run your auditing question!"

SHSpec-83 Scientology Definitions [Part] II




6612C06 SHSpec-83 Scientology Definitions [Part] II

     For the first time in known history, there is ethics.  You can't lie to
do people in [and get away with it, in scientology].  People who protest
ethics say, "Who determines who is suppressive?" That is easy.  Suppressives
have definite characteristics.  This universe got formed and is going to
pieces on suppression.  "An organized minority is all that has been making
this universe a mess."  It could have been a good universe.  But ethics would
have had to go in early.  And because thetans were acting as individuals and
suppression was organized, all we have to do is reverse it, so that thetans,
without forgoing independence, can organize the other side just a little bit.
We are eventually going to become an organized majority.  We already have
numerical superiority.  Also, they can't think straight.  We have no overt
intentions towards suppressives.  We are just trying to go about our
business.  But "you yourself should not ... go out of your way to obtain
amusement by the torturing of SP's simply because their valence is there to
slip into.  "The mocking up of suns is far more fun."  But when you do it, do
a good job!"

ANALYTICAL MIND

     This could be "anything that a thetan set up, which collected data and
used it to resolve problems."  The basic purpose of the "mind" is "the
resolution of problems relating to survival.  Now if a thetan does this, you
could say he is a mind....  An analytical mind cannot exist independent of a
thetan."  Man has been so caved in, on the subject of the reactive mind, which
he knew not wot of, of which he was not aware, that he now discredits the
whole idea of a mind.  He says, "I'll just do it all myself."

REACTIVE MIND

     A reactive mind is "an unwanted, unknowing series of computations which
bring about an effect on the individual and those around him."  It contains
things like the computation, "All horses sleep in beds."  It is an obsessive
stratum of unknown, unseen, uninspected data that is forcing solutions,
unknown and unsuspected, on the person.  It is a sub-awareness activity.  An
analytical mind could be of use to an operating thetan.  It could exist if it
was a knowing and willing mechanism.  For instance, much of dianetics and
scientology was resolved by the construction of philosophical machines:
something you would draw up which would give some data that you could then
combine with some other data and get some answer.  But you are setting down
and lining up the data.  You are just "doing a think which is recorded ... so
that you can knowingly observe a relationship of data and get an answer....
So an analytical mind [is] a knowing and willing resolution of problems
related to survival."  This can get you in trouble, when it is of lasting
duration, when it is set up to run forever without inspection and
observation.  An analytical mind cannot exist without inspection and
observation.  An astronomical computer being operated by a competent scientist
could be likened to the analytical mind.  But without inspection and
observation, an analytical mind would become reactive.  The reactive mind is
like the opposite of the analytical mind.  It is like a computer that,
uninspected, picks up the data to resolve problems that had not been
suspected, and turns out answers that, uninspected, then by law become a total
effect upon a population. [I.e., to avoid reactivity, you must retain the
option of total monitoring.] A total circuit, like an automatic elevator, may
still be analytical if it can be inspected.



                                      794

     The human body falls into the class of machines that operate without
understanding.  Such a machine, where a thetan does not know how or why it
operates, is reactive.  The fellow who is there doesn't know when it is going
to get sick or quit.  The body line is running uninspected, and it is
aberrative.  It has reactions and effects upon the thetan that he cannot
predict.  It is an aberrative machine because it is running uninspected.  It
has no instruction book.  This is a major omission.  Beware of buying bodies
without directions in them!

     So willingness and inspection is what makes the difference between the
analytical and the reactive minds.  The difference between dianetics and
scientology is that one [scientology] increases the awareness of the thetan
and the other [dianetics] just erases the bank.  The trouble you run into in
disseminating comes from people's lack of awareness of the reactive mind.  You
have to show it to them.  If you handle a person's reactive mind directly, you
get the situation where the person was not aware that he had lumbosis and is
not now aware that it is gone.  The way you handle a reactive mind is to
increase the thetan's awareness of it so he can control it.  It ceases to be
reactive.  When you are talking about the analytical and the reactive mind,
you are talking about the awareness level of the individual.

     Only the reactive mind is opposed to the thetan.  The analytical mind is
"a mind that is temporarily set up, willingly and knowingly, to assist in the
resolution of problems.  Problems inevitably relate to survival.  And anything
he's set up to do this of which he was aware and which was inspected [would be
included under the rubric of 'analytical mind']."  A committee set up to get
data and to coordinate the activities of another area or body -- of a factory
or something like that -- would be the mind of that factory, even though they
are thetans doing it.  In fact, they would have to be thetans doing it, for it
to be analytical.

     One of the reasons why you should know policy is that otherwise the
solutions and combinations, unknown to you, make it have an effect on you,
because it is somewhat reactive.  If policy isn't inspected and reformed to
meet the condition of operation, it too would become a reactive mind, as with
U.S. government law.  From the point of view of the society, scientology is a
somewhat reactive mind, to the degree that they are not aware of our existence
or our effect.  If scientology had evil intentions, it would be very easy to
operate on a sub-rosa level.  However, it would be bad for the planet, on the
whole.  It is hard anyway for society, at its low awareness level, to be aware
of scientology.  It is likewise hard for them to be aware of a thetan.  A
thetan should probably go by the rule, "Never explain."  Don't feel that you
need to explain your motives to others, when you don't intend to hide them.
Their level of awareness of you is already so low that explaining won't help
at all.  After all, they can't tell your motives!  Be as obvious, plain, and
straightforward as you like, but "if the ordinary evidences which lie around
them don't justify your actions, then there's no sense in explaining it to the
person who's challenging them....  He wouldn't be able to understand them
anyway."  Any analytical mind can become a reactive mind.  So setting up an
analytical mind is always dangerous, to some degree.



                                      795

POWER

     The amount of force that can be applied in a unit of time.  [Actually,
the physical definition states that power is the amount of work that can be
accomplished in a unit of time.] Power has the connotation of being potential,
unlike force, which is actual.  Power doesn't necessarily mean the use of
force.  Power is not exerted, whereas force tends to be.  Therefore a person is
powerful when he is able to use force, not when he is or isn't using force.
But if he is forceful, he is using force right now.  The smarter a person
gets, the less he employs force to get others to change their opinions, etc.

IMPLANT

     "Unwilling, unknowing receipt of a think."  An implant is "an intentional
wreck of somebody's ability to make pictures, perceive, and remember.  It's
intentional! ... An intentional installation of fixed ideas contra-survival
to the thetan."  In an implant, someone is intentionally giving the thetan
perceptions and ideas.  All hypnotism is, is a restimulation of past
implants.

ENGRAM

     "Those perceptions unknowingly contained in the force, duress, pain, and
unconsciousness of an incident."  This is not the same as an implant [because
it is not necessarily intentional, for one thing].  Intent is the difference.
The person makes a mental image picture by his reaction to an experience.  He
goes, "Out!  Stop it!" In the process of doing this, "he's made a sort of a
stuck wave," because he didn't prevent it.  And just as you would make an
embossed impression of something, he embosses the environment.  If you were to
press your hand against a brick for a split second, you would have a picture
of the brick, and, a moment or so later, you would have the indentations of
the brick, because you pushed something at the brick.  Similarly, if you pull
on a rope, you make an impression.  [This would be analogous to a secondary.]
The thetan pushes back against what is pushing him, or he pulls in against
what is leaving him.  It is at the point where he resisted the motion most
that he gets stuck.  A thetan can make and exert energy.  When he tries to
fend something off [or hold something in], he pushes [or pulls] back against
something.  He gets a picture of the moment when his resistance was great.
That could be an engram, [secondary, lock,] or implant.

PROBLEM

      Intention / counter-intention, goal / counter-goal, or purpose /
counter-purpose.

GOALS PROBLEM MASS

     The GPM is so named, because "when there are two intentions
counter-opposed, [one] has a problem [and the opposed forces or goals] tend to
produce mass.  The Russians' statement of this is Dialectic Materialism --
that all ideas are born out of the meeting of two forces.  [That is]
backwards.  When two ideas [oppose each other] they create force....  That
shows you where they are on the [tone] scale: If you hit a guy hard enough,
he'll think."  [GPM's consist of pairs of opposing ideas.] Two opposing ideas
produce a mass.  "The thetan cannot as-is either side."  Hence, the mass
remains.  The mass of a GPM is mental energy mass, but it can be in the
physical universe, too.

PAN-DETERMINISM and SELF-DETERMINISM

     Pan-determinism is the ability to see or as-is both sides [of a conflict
or problem].  If "one is totally pan-determined, he has no mental mass,
because he's seen both sides of everything.  He can see two ideas at once,
even though they are opposed."  Self-determinism is laudable, because it is
rare.  But it is not as good as pan-determinism.  If a guy justifies what he
does, you know immediately that he is self-determined, not pan-determined.
This is the quickest test there is.  A wholly reactive person "will oppose any
idea put to him."



                                      796

A conservative or reactionary tends to be against everything you propose.  So
if you give him his own ideas, you give him a problem, because his first
impulse is to be against them. [Cf. symptom prescription and the
Interpersonalists.] This is such a horrible thing to do that it is normally
looked upon as fightin' words, like, "You think you're pretty good, don't
you?" You have made the guy resist his own ideas.  The above type of person is
on a lower-scale mockery of pan-determinism.  He can carry out a raging
argument with a second person that doesn't say a word the whole time, like,
"Well, you're going to say....  And you think....  But ... !" There is no
ability of a thetan that doesn't have a lower-scale mockery or exaggeration.

EMOTION

     "A response by a wavelength affecting as individual or another, which
produces a sensation and a state of mind."

INTENTION

     Something which one wishes or intends to do.  It is an impulse towards
something.  It is "an idea that one is going to accomplish something....  He
means to do it."

AFFINITY

     Affinity "has nothing to do with [emotion].  It's the ability to occupy
the space of or be like or similar to, or to express a willingness to be
something."  "I like you," means "I would just as soon be you.  I would just
as soon occupy your space." When two individuals don't like each other, they
won't occupy each other's space or viewpoint.  They don't want to be like the
other person, etc.  A dissimilarity must exist.  When this becomes
sufficiently strong, a person "enforcedly becomes like the other fellow,"
which is an overwhelm.

HOME UNIVERSE

     "The universe a thetan made for himself."  Here we find the Rock, which
we audited for and assessed out, meaning a shape of something on which we
could then run a process.  We had, in the past, a theory that it was the first
object on the track that the fellow had made.  We would run five-way help on
it and make a fast, stable release of a very high order.

RELIGION

     Religion "means, basically, the search for truth."

DED-DEDEX

     A deduced something or other.  "It means that the overt-motivator
sequence went backwards.  A ded-dedex is the overt-motivator sequence
wrong-way to.  So that you hit Joe, and then he hits you.  That's a
ded-dedex.  The original connotation was [that] although it went this way, you
had it figured out that he must have hit you first, so you invented something
that he did to you to motivate your hitting him.  It's a phony overt-motivator
sequence." It is what a guy does to justify an unmotivated overt.  "It means,
'The overt act explained.'"  The fact of having hit someone without
provocation plus a means of explaining having hit him is the ded-dedex.  After
you commit the first action, you invent something to explain it.  [Ded-dedex
-- Deed-deed explained.]

SOMATIC MIND

     This idea was "added to the First Book by Donald H. Rogers, [John W.
Campbell, and the publisher]."  I found it in the glossary, so there it is.
It's "the mind that runs the body, independent of" [the body and the reactive
mind.] It is a physical coordination switchboard system.  In view of the fact
that we don't know how it runs, we really have no business declaring the
existence of a mind that we don't really know about.

     (The early introduction to DMSMH -- with the part about the wheel and the
arch -- describes the book.  Its first line was written by Walter Winchell and
the rest was written by the publisher.



                                      797

ANCHOR POINT

     Something the thetan put out to make space.

BUTTERED ALL OVER THE UNIVERSE

     "Very badly disoriented and dispersed."  When someone in this case
condition is asked to spot spots where he is (An improper process.  The proper
process is to have him spot spots where he is not.), he will point all over
the universe.  This is the reaction of this very dispersed case to this
question, from which this term is taken.  He will think that he is
everywhere.  It is an "I'm over there" case.  Perhaps this condition comes
from leaving anchor points all over the place and appearing in one or another
of these points.

TIGER DRILL

     "One of the drills ... that ... has been adequately discussed in
bulletins."  It uses "tiger" as a non-reactive word.  [See pp. 295-295a.
above.]

COMPUTATION

     To figure out.  2 x 2 = 4.

COMPUTING PSYCHOSIS

     "One who, from his psychosis, figure-figures.  He's inconstant in his
conduct.  He's computive....  He's got ... crazy explanation....  He's
obsessively solving a problem that doesn't exist."

DRAMATIZING PSYCHOTIC

     "One patterned action which is insane [and which the person] runs over
and over....  When he is] not doing that particular [action, the dramatizing
psychotic is remarkably sane.  [He is consistent in his conduct.]"

ARBITRARY

     "Something introduced into the situation without regard to the data of
the situation.  'Arbitrary' means 'stand alone'." Someone says, "X must be
done," or "X is true."  If that is introduced without observation, without any
refutation [of what was there previously], into a formula, situation, admin
action, of line, it will cause a ripple.  This ripple then needs to be solved,
so someone else will introduce an arbitrary solution to the introduced
arbitrary.  "It leads to further arbitraries being introduced to handle
resultant outnesses."  This is the "stuck five [held down five]" phenomenon.
An urgent action may be an arbitrary, as in the tech of handling an urgent
directive [See p. 785, above.].  This must be replaced by something based on
observed fact.  It is only in force until data can be gotten.  An example of
an arbitrary would be an education that a boy never understood, like an
education without a purpose.

HARMONICS

     Any wavelength action or scale has reverberations, up and down, by
doubles or halves.  "In the field of art, it means 'agreement with'....  In
scientology, ... upper harmonics [refers to] well-off cases.'  In scientology,
it means a similarity or repetition of something at a higher or lower point on
a scale.  A lower harmonic is a lower similarity which is nutty, related to a
higher harmonic.  This is "based on the tendency of a wavelength to repeat
itself....  The lower you go in terms of awareness, the more weird the
repetition is....  In music, it means a co-action or similar action," like
resonating strings.  For instance, a lower harmonic of figuring out a math
table is doodling.  It is a similar action but less aware.  Therefore
harmonics apply to the awareness scale.  The term "lower-scale mockery"
expresses the idea of harmonics more usefully, for our purposes.  Ridicule is
based on this.  You can feel that your ideas are crazy, even if they are not,
if you hear them expressed or "mocked", by a nut or a "true believer".  [Like
a caricature.] I was trying to figure out what to do with the org.  I was
trying to figure out what England would do by trying to figure out what she
should do to straighten things out politically.  I was trying to figure out
which way this was going to go, to figure out if I should expand the
organization or whether to enter dollars into the country or hold them out.
And I ran into a guy outside the door, who said that he was Disraeli and was
going to help England.

SHSpec-84 Scientology Definitions -- [Part] III




6612C13 SHSpec-84 Scientology Definitions -- [Part] III

     Scientology is an extension of the work of Gautama Siddhartha, 2500 years
ago.  Gautama sought to end the cycle of death and rebirth, by showing an
individual that he was a spirit, not dependent on bodies.  We accomplished his
goal of exteriorizing people more successfully in 1952, but the wisdom of
Buddhism was enough to civilize three-fourths of Asia.  It is the oldest and
biggest religion on this planet.  It predates Christianity by 500 years.
"Probably the shreds of [Buddhism came] into the Middle East with [the] silk
and spice merchants, [who, following Alexander's ventures to India in about
333 B.C., discovered that there was a Europe and] made a trade contact with
Europe.  This sparked a religious revival.  "Buddha predicted that in 2500
years, the entire job would be finished in the West.  That's in the Pali
Canons.  Well, we finished it....  Buddha never pretended to be other than
just a man," and his movement, the first international religious movement, was
open to anyone.  Buddhism "has moved, ... in its technology, not one inch
further than it was pushed in Tibet, until 1952," when we started
exteriorizing people.  "The essence of religion [is the fact that] Man is a
spiritual being."  All religions hold this in common, but "only in Buddhism
was this ever proven."

     Any forward push like Buddhism runs into SP's who are afraid that if you
got better, you might knock them off or at least stop their games.  "The basic
goal of psychiatry today is to wipe out religion.  They say, 'Anyone who is
religious is psychotic.'"  If they succeed in knocking out our church, they
will go after bigger ones.  This is "really all that it's all about.  As long
as religion brings solace to Man, ... as long as churches stand, in any way,
for the spiritual freedom of Man, psychiatry will not really be able to
progress."  Therefore, psychiatry should not be allowed to wipe out a small
church, and then go on to a bigger church, and a bigger church, and so take it
all over.

     The government "has no right ... to comment upon religious beliefs or
practice....  They are telling us that we must not do something we are not
doing."  We are not treating the sick and the insane.  There is no law against
increasing people's ability or intelligence, and that is all that we are
doing.  "Psychiatry is demanding its right to kill or maim any human being,
after it states that he's crazy....  If they can do that, they can control the
planet, politically."  But they will fail, because they can't complete a cycle
of action or choose a right target.  There is no law against making people
better or more intelligent.  Also, when someone tries to cut a pure theta
line, it tends to blow up against him.

     "Our victory was the victory of the individual over 'Fate' and the
universe....  If we win, everybody wins."  Crushing the opposition on the way
up is hardly worth doing.

INVERSION

     "It should go one way, and it goes the other [way].  It inverts.  It
collapses in on itself downward....  When a person is introverted, ... he
would look in on himself....  It's a reverse scale....  As one factor
progresses, the other factor degresses....  It goes backwards."

EXTERIORIZATION

     "An action which I have just described ... as the history of Buddhism."
A thetan walks out of or exists out of a body.  Exteriorization is "the action
of moving out of a body." Psychiatrists boobytrap this by claiming "that
insane people can exteriorize."  In fact, if they do exteriorize, they are
sane while they are exterior.  [See p.     , above.]



                                      799

INTERIORIZATION

     People who are interiorized.  "Interiorization is not the reverse of
this.  [It] means 'going into it too fixedly and becoming part of it', [not
just 'going into your head'].  You could interiorize into work [or into] most
anything." Exteriorization means the spirit moving out of the body.

RESTIMULATION

     "The reactivation of an existing incident....  Some approximation of the
original incident causes it to go into play....  There is a point where it was
restimulated....  The restimulation is usually unknown to the person.  If it
were known, ... he would immediately recover....  Unknown, ... it tends to
have an effect upon the [person]....  By picking up restimulations, you can
knock out of action sn engram, without running it."  It is as though the
engram sat over in locker A, undisturbed and not troubling the person.  Then
one day, he passes a truck, and the engram drops out of locker A, and the
person doesn't know what it is.  So he becomes the effect of it.  If you
picked up the moment of its restimulation, it would drop back into locker A
and cease to trouble the person.  "It is upon this fact that the whole subject
of releasing depends." The erasure that occurs is the erasure of these points
of restimulation.

DESTIMULATION

     "'Destimulate' means to take away the restimulation.  [It] does not mean
the erasure of the original incident." It is the knocking out of the point of
restimulation.

GENETIC ENTITY

     Cytology, the study of cells, conceives of an endless stream of
protoplasm passing through time, with branch tracks that are bodies.  Your
current body is supposed to have originated from a sea of ammonia.  By the
process of reproduction, it is supposed to have dome down to PT.  If that were
the case, then somewhere along the line, a blueprint for a body would have had
to enter the line.  In the days of dianetics, a good way to account for past
lives was to say that they were incidents on the GE line.  [Cf. A History of
Man.] The Darwinian theory is an explanation of this unending stream of
protoplasm.  We find that this theory doesn't actually hold good.  Man is a
spiritual being.  You should be able to find the blueprint in the body.  We
used to think that it showed up on the E-meter.  Actually it doesn't.  Only
you do.

FIRST OVERT

     This "would be the first ... on a chain of overts." If a guy has an
impulse to commit a given overt, you could trace back down the chain to the
first one, and, theoretically, he would blow the impulse.  [Cf. expanded
dianetics.] But "you should not try to process a specific type of
aberration....  It's quite fatal, ... because, in the first place, it's an
eval for the case."  Also, it is a condemnatory, negative-type process.  It
doesn't validate the person at all.  You don't validate the person by finding
his nasty habits and trying to process them."  The percentiles of successes
when specific aberrations are ... addressed ... is too low.  [This procedure
is-] not successful, because [you are not validating] what's right with the
person....  You don't have to find out what's wrong with a person ... to make
him right."  You just get the guy to be able to communicate.  Then you get him
to look at his problems, and you find out that he has been resolving them by
committing overts.  You get him over doing this.  Then you find that he is
very ARC broken with life, and you get him over that.  Then he gets to where
he discovers that he has a great "solution" to everything, "and every time he
has a bad break, he goes and lies down and is a horse, or something."  But we
are not interested in his solutions, and "we're not treating him for that
reason....  All of these things are simply increasing the abilities of a
spirit, not 'healing' what's wrong with it."



                                      800

ENTRANCE POINT TO THIS UNIVERSE


     Classified information.  Many times on the time track, one has been told
that he just entered this universe.  It is a big swindle.

OT ACTIVITIES

     "Those programs conducted by OT's to assist scientology."

ANCHOR POINTS (Gold Balls)

     A body is constructed in a space framework.  You can see these things.
At least, some people can.  When a person has dark hollows under his eyes, it
is all the little gold balls grouped together under the eyes that have caved
in and gone black.  If you could shift the gold ball framework of the body,
you could probably bend joints backwards, etc.  Every once in awhile,
somebody's face is out of shape, or something, and you get him to pick up the
gold ball and put it back where it belongs, or something.  Or you get him to
put a bunch of balls out there to remedy his havingness of that particular
ball.  This is anchor point processing, from 'way back when.  All of a sudden,
instead of lying against his face, the gold ball goes back where it belongs,
and the PC reasserts his sense of balance.  His face will actually change
shape.  This has to do with the structure of bodies and what the space is, in
which the body is formed.  It is apparently one of the ways in which bodies
are mocked up.  "I wouldn't look for them, if I were you.  It's rather fraught
with disaster, in some cases."  Gold balls are used in mocking up the body in
space.

FIRST AND SECOND POSTULATE

     If you find the first postulate that was made, relating to a certain
situation, you can ignore the second postulate.  About 1952, LRH tried to make
an end-all of this.  He looked for the first postulate that one ever made, on
the track.  [See pp. 14-15, above, on the first and second postulates.] We now
find that "it's not necessary to have that."

ENERGY

     "A potential of motion or power."  The modern physics definition is that
energy is small waves flowing.  It is a force or a flow, or a potential force
or flow from something to something, or ability to accomplish work, or to
accomplish movement.  A rather doubtful idea that we are taught to believe is
that if something moves from point A to point B:

     1.  You need energy.

     2.  You develop energy.

If you [really] know about the system of energy, you won't need huge amounts
of energy to move particles.  If a person really understands something, he can
do remarkable things with it.  Modern physics hasn't done that well with
rocketry.  It is not very efficient.  So energy is potential or actual motion
or force.

FLOW

     Progress of particles, impulses, or waves from point A to point B, or in
any direction.  There is a direction to it, which rather outlaws the idea of a
dispersal.  A dispersal is not a flow.  A flow has the connotation of being
somewhat directional.  If something flowing off a mountain is getting wider
and wider, it can cease to be a flow and become a flood.  Energy is a flow of
particles, waves, etc., in some direction.  A flow is a limited and
directional progress of particles through space.

THOUGHT

     Not to be confused with life and the spirit.  A thought is a "spaceless,
positionless product of a thetan, containing meaning."  The Greeks confused it
with life.  The original mistake is in the word, "theta".  For the Greeks,
"theta" meant life or thought.  Thought is not life and it is not a spirit.

LAMBDA

     Life, in the dianetic axioms [Dianetic Axiom 11].  It is an unused
symbol, today.



                                      801

NOTHING

     This "implies that the thing is, but is being 'not-ed'.  You couldn't
not-is something that wasn't, in the first place....  It's an assertion
against fact."

COUNTER-EMOTION

     "The emotion which greets the emotion."  It is point A exerting an
emotion against point B.  Emotion is normally something that has flow,
wavelength, and meaning mixed up with it.  "Any emotion could counter any
emotion."  So counter-emotion means any emotion that is countering an existing
emotion.  When you take apart the emotion in a bank, you can pick out the
emotion and counter-emotion.  A counter-emotion is the emotion that is used to
meet a situation and which does meet it.  Counter-emotion is an interesting
study.  It is related to politics and control of humans.  For instance, the
counter-emotion to Hitler's rage, in Germany, was enthusiasm.  The advertising
field is also very interested in counter-emotion.  The advertising exec comes
up against it, because he tries to counter want with an emotion.  But want
isn't an emotion, so there is no counter-emotion.  [So you have to know what
emotion could create a desire for the product and counter that.]

MEMORY AND RECALL

     There is "no difference between these two terms that's significant to the
auditor....  Recall, however, implies that you bring it up to present and look
at it.  It has that connotation, whereas "memory" has the connotation that you
simply knew it had happened.  [So the two terms have] two different
connotations."  But they are very easily interchanged, because a person
doesn't have to bring things up to PT when he is clear.  He doesn't do this
any longer.  There are a lot of things that he doesn't bring up to PT to
recall them.  He can recall them in detail and tell you exactly where they
are, without having them brought up into the present to review.  To that
extent, the modern clear is far in advance of the Book One definition of
clear.  "The reason one can't recall is totally contained in the fact that his
memory is totally surrounded by mass which prevents him from recalling."  If
you got rid of all the mass of the mind, you wouldn't have anything to
recall.  Correct?  Actually, it doesn't work that way at all.  When you get
the mass off, recall is easy.  It is undue duress in the incident that
prevents recall.  So the individual gets a picture of the incident to read it,
because he can't enter the incident where it is.  The mental energy you used
in bailing out of a lions' cage would prevent you from remembering that you
had been in the lions' cage.  Therefore, "amnesia" is the situation where a
person is "protecting himself" from so many dangers on the track that the mass
prevents penetration, because the part of the track for which he has amnesia
is so heavily charged.

CONFIDENCE

     "An expression of trust."  Degree of trust.  Inflation is an expression
of no confidence in the government.  Money is a symbolized idea that goes bad
when confidence in the issuer drops.  That is why they put pictures of kings
and presidents, etc., on money.  They try to associate [money and its
issuer].  Trust (and distrust) is composed of past experience.  "Total trust
is looked on as total idiocy, but it is the only condition under which you can
exist."  We didn't arrive through suspicion!

CERTAINTY

     "The degree of willingness to accept the awareness of an isness."  It is
a very conditional thing, since, in the first place, it is questionable
whether any mass has mass.  A scientologist does not start out from, "Where
did the wall come from?", but just from, "Is the wall there?" And if it is
there, the scientologist can have certainty on it.  It is possible to generate
uncertainty by asking, "What is?" Brainwashing is the trick of mixing up



                                      802

certainties.  To unconfuse someone, it is only necessary to have him regain
some certainties.  A person ARC breaks if his certainties get shifted.  An
education can be made hypnotic by qualifying everything, so that it becomes a
sort of generality, and definitely an uncertainty.

GENERALITY

     "Any unspecific statement ... tends towards a generality.  It's the
substitution of a plural for a singular, or ... a greater for a lesser."  This
may or may not be intentional.  Dispersed people talk in generalities.
Classifying anything comes under this heading.  For instance, it is not really
"boys".  It is "boy, boy, boy, etc."  [Cf. Korzybski's General Semantics.]
Classifying is necessary, but it is very dangerous.  Classifications occur in
the bank.  "They" is always one person.  You will always find out exactly who
"they" is, on a meter.  The generality is the primary tool of the SP.  It is
used to prevent reach, as in "Everything is all covered with germs, Johnny!"

SUPPRESS

     To squash.  To sit on.  To make smaller.  To refuse to let reach.  To
make uncertain about his reaching.  To render (liquefy by heating) or lessen
in any way possible, by any means possible, to the harm of the person and the
fancied protection of the suppressor.  The SP often expresses generalities to
the suppressed person, thus surrounding him with generalities.  The invention
of "germs" was a bit suppressive.  The suppressive uses tricks and mechanisms
to prevent reach.

POSTULATE

     To generate or think a concept.  A concept is a think, a thought.  To
postulate implies a requirement that something goes, stops, turns white, goes
blue, or remains blue.  Or that it is something, or that it isn't something.
Or that some action is going to take place, etc.  A postulate implies
conditions and actions, rather than just plain thinks.  A postulate is
associated more with intention than it is with a thought.  It has a dynamic
connotation.

HAVINGNESS

     The feeling that one owns or possesses.  It is possible to wear a coat
without having a coat.  Mere possession does not make havingness.

CONFRONTING

     "Ability to front up to."  "Confronting" is derived from
"with-fronting".  So there is a dim connotation that if you confront the door,
the door is confronting you.  Co-action is implied, but this does not actually
exist, in our meaning of the word.  Confront is the ability of the individual
"to face up [to], look at, stand up to, stand in front of, be near, see,
visualize, or otherwise perceive, something."  By extension, if you can't
confront something, you can't handle it.  Thetans have been steam-rolled by
confronting.  Total confronting is not the total answer.  There are times to
stand up and glare, and there are times not to.  When a person can selectively
confront or not confront anything, then, of course, he has total power.  These
do go together.  When a thetan doesn't want to confront something, he tends to
mask it, to turn away from it, and it tends to make him an effect.  If he
can't make an effect on it, it can make an effect on him.  However, in fact,
to stand in front of an automobile going 60 MPH and to let it run over you,
just to demonstrate that you are not afraid of confronting it is assininity.

     If you ask a person whether he can confront an automobile going 60 MPH
and he comm lags, you know that he is down into an obsessive confront and
feels that there is some sense in your asking him to do it.  He has the idea
that there is something wrong with him if he won't go and do this.  Willful
and knowing



                                      803

confronting or willingness to conceive the idea of or to confront or not to
confront -- these concepts are all contained in the single idea of
confronting.  If you felt that you had to be able to stand up to anything,
that would be "to confess that you couldn't stop anything from occurring."
I'm willing to confront putting my arm out to an automobile traveling 60 MPH
and having it stop.  To that extent, I am willing to confront.

     This is not conditional confronting.  "What are the conditions under
which you would be willing to confront this?" is not a fair question.  No one
wants to lead a life of ruin, though some have made it into a virtue [e.g. the
Stoics].  It is a philosophical booby trap.  They persuade people that they
should be willing to live a life as dope-addicts, bums, and in total ruin, in
order to demonstrate that they can confront this kind of life.  That is
suppression.  It has precious little to do with sanity.  But it is a terrific
process, in that the individual will come up to finding out what he is
obsessively confronting, as well as what he is willing to confront and what he
doesn't have to confront.  One thing he might find out is that he doesn't have
to go on confronting forever.  In fact, he is quite tired of standing there.
[So a desire to have a challenge concerning existence only relates to being
willing to engage in a larger game.]

     As the power to confront or not arises selectively, an individual's
self-determinism arises accordingly.  Very often, a thetan who never likes to
be moving explains the fact that he got run over by X, by saying that he was
perfectly willing to confront it.  He is happy that he got run over by X,
because now he has had such an experience.  He says, "Well, it was a good
experience, but I never want to do it again."  When a person can control
things, he can selectively confront.  When he loses that ability, he says,
"Well, at least I can confront it."  The thought that you can't do anything
about anything is very humanoid and deadly.  There is suppression at work, if
a person gets the idea that because he has the ability to confront anything,
he must therefore confront everything.  This is an invalidation of his ability
to control and change undesirable aspects of the environment.  This is SP
talk.  It is very different from being willing to confront anything.  It is
only when you lose the ability to handle a situation that you justify your
inability by the thought that you can confront the disaster that thereby
ensues.
