Important Note

In studying Dianetics and Scientology by very, very certain you
never go past a word you do not fully understand.

The only reason a person gives up a study or becomes confused
or unable to learn is that he or she has gone past a word or
phrase that was not understood.

Trying to read past a misunderstood word results in mental
"fogginess" and difficulty in comprehending the passages which
follow. If you find yourself experiencing this, return to the last
portion you understood easily, locate the misunderstood word
and get it defined correctly -- and then go on. DIANETICS $r:
From the Greek dia (through) and noos (soul), thus "through the
soul"; a system for the analysis, control and development of human
thought which also provides techniques for increased ability,
rationality, and freedom from the discovered single source of
aberrations and psychosomatic ills. Introduced May, 1950, with
publication of Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by
L. Ron Hubbard.

SCIENTOLOGY $r is an applied religious philosophy and technology
resolving problems of the spirits, life and thought; discovered,
developed and organized by L. Ron Hubbard as a result of his
earlier Dianetic discoveries. Coming from the Latin, scio
(knowing) and the Greek logos (study), Scientology means
"knowing how to know" or "the study of wisdom."

FOREWORD

THE work contained in this book is the result of 25 years'
investigation of electronics as they apply to knowledge and
human thinking by L. Ron Hubbard.

In his youth, Hubbard had the good fortune to know
Commander Thompson (M.C.), U.S.N., who had studied with
Sigmund Freud in Vienna. Stimulated by Freud's investigatory
spirit and by the encouragement of the late Commander
Thompson, and equipped with considerable personal experience
in the Orient with phenomena not generally known in the
Western World, Hubbard bent the exactitudes of Occidental
engineering to the investigation and practical application of
such data to the human mind.

His studies of the subject were extremely broad and varied.
They included such things as expeditions to investigate the
ethnology of twelve widely-separated primitive cultures, an
intensive survey of the endocrine system, the study of early
writers and philosophers on the subject of mankind and
epistemology, also the direct study of his forte, nuclear
physics, as it might be found to apply to the human intellect.

In addition to Sigmund Freud and Commander Thompson, he
has credited the following persons as source material:

Anaxagoras Thomas Jefferson

Aristotle Jesus of Nazareth

Roger Bacon Count Alfred Korzybski

Buddha James Clerk Maxwell

Charcot Mohammed

Confucius Lao Tze

Rene Descartes van Leeuwenhoek

Will Durant Lucretius

Euclid Isaac Newton

Michael Faraday Thomas Paine

William James Plato

Socrates The Vedic Hymns

Herbert Spencer Voltaire

L. Ron Hubbard's work has excited interest and comment
throughout the world, and its more elementary forms are today
taught in at least two leading universities. Some of his earlier
discoveries have become accepted fact by the medical profession
and his methodology is now in use in several institutions.

Some think of his work as the only significant enlargement of
the field of the mind since Freud's papers in the late 19th
century; others think of it as the Western world's first workable
organization of Eastern philosophy. It has been called by two of
the leading writers in America: "The most significant advance of
mankind in the 20th century."

Many lay writers have sensationalized these developments in
the extreme, and others have levelled against this work the
bitterest of condemnations: whether bad or good, no development
in the field of the mind for many centuries has excited as much
interest.

L. Ron Hubbard is himself a man of considerable energy and of
extremely wide interests. He has written fiction under many of
his pen-names; and, indeed, financed and supported his own
investigations (which have cost in the hundreds of thousands of
dollars) with his own pen. His interests do not lie in the field of
practice but in the field of continued investigation.

Probably no philosopher of modern times has had the popularity
and appeal of Hubbard or such startling successes within his
own lifetime. And mankind has had no better friend.

THE FACTORS

(Summation of the considerations and examinations of the
human spirit and the material universe completed between A.D.
1923 and 1953.)

1. Before the beginning was a Cause and the entire purpose of
the Cause was the creation of effect.

2. In the beginning and forever is the decision and the decision is
TO BE.

3. The first action of beingness is to assume a viewpoint.

4. The second action of beingness is to extend from the
viewpoint, points to view, which are dimension points.

5. Thus there is space created, for the definition of space is:
viewpoint of dimension. And the purpose of a dimension point is
space and a point of view.

6. The action of a dimension point is reaching and withdrawing.

7. And from the viewpoint to the dimension points there are
connection and interchange. Thus new dimension points are
made. Thus there is communication.

8. And thus there is light.

9. And thus there is energy.

10. And thus there is life.

11. But there are other viewpoints and these viewpoints outthrust
points to view. And there comes about an interchange amongst
viewpoints; but the interchange is never otherwise than in terms
of exchanging dimension points.

12. The dimension point can be moved by the viewpoint, for the
viewpoint, in addition to creative ability and consideration,
possesses volition and potential independence of action; and the
viewpoint, viewing dimension points, can change in relation to
its own or other dimension points or viewpoints. Thus comes
about all the fundamentals there are to motion.

1

13. The dimension points are each and every one, whether large
or small, solid. And they are solid solely because the viewpoints
say they are solid.

14. Many dimension points combine into larger gases, fluids or
solids. Thus there is matter. But the most valued point is
admiration, and admiration is so strong its absence alone permits
persistence.

15. The dimension point can be different from other dimension
points and thus can possess an individual quality. And many
dimension points can possess a similar quality, and others can
possess a similar quality unto themselves. Thus comes about the
quality of classes of matter.

16. The viewpoint can combine dimension points into forms and
the forms can be simple or complex and can be at different
distances from the viewpoints and so there can be combinations
of form. And the forms are capable of motion and the viewpoints
are capable of motion and so there can be motion of forms.

17. And the opinion of the viewpoint regulates the consideration
of the forms, their stillness or their motion, and these
considerations consist of assignment of beauty or ugliness to
the forms and these considerations alone are art.

18. It is the opinion of the viewpoints that some of these forms
should endure. Thus there is survival.

19. And the viewpoint can never perish; but the form can perish.

20. And the many viewpoints, interacting, become dependent
upon one another's forms and do not choose to distinguish
completely the ownership of dimension points and so comes
about a dependency upon the dimension points and upon the
other viewpoints.

21. From this comes a consistency of viewpoint of the interaction
of dimension points and this, regulated, is TIME.

22. And there are universes.

23. The universes, then, are three in number: the universe created
by one viewpoint, the universe created by every

2

other viewpoint, the universe created by the mutual action of
viewpoints which is agreed to be upheld -- the physical universe.

24. And the viewpoints are never seen. And the viewpoints
consider more and more that the dimension points are valuable.
And the viewpoints try to become the anchor points and forget
that they can create more points and space and forms. Thus
comes about scarcity. And the dimension points can perish and
so the viewpoints assume that they, too, can perish.

25. Thus comes about death.

26. The manifestations of pleasure and pain, of thought, emotion
and effort, of thinking, of sensation, of affinity, reality,
communication, of behavior and being are thus derived and the
riddles of our universe are apparently contained and answered
herein.

27. There is beingness, but Man believes there is only
becomingness.

28. The resolution of any problem posed hereby is the
establishment of viewpoints and dimension points, the
betterment of condition and concourse amongst dimension
points, and, thereby, viewpoints, and the remedy of abundance or
scarcity in all things, pleasant or ugly, by the rehabilitation of
the ability of the viewpoint to assume points of view, and create
and uncreate, neglect, start, change and stop dimension points of
any kind at the determinism of the viewpoint. Certainty in all
three universes must be regained, for certainty, not data, is
knowledge.

29. In the opinion of the viewpoint, any beingness, any thing, is
better than no thing, any effect is better than no effect, any
universe better than no universe, any particle better than no
particle, but the particle of admiration is best of all.

30. And above these things there might be speculation only.
And below these things there is the playing of the game.
But these things which are written here Man can experience

3

and know. And some may care to teach these things and some
may care to use them to assist those in distress and some may
desire to employ them to make individuals and organizations
more able and so give to Earth a culture of which we can be
proud.

THE BEINGNESS OF MAN

Any study of knowledge could not but be intimately connected
with the beingness of Man and the earliest axioms of Scientology
began to predict and the later developments eventually
discovered the highest level data so far obtained on the
identity and capability of life.

The well-beingness and, indeed, the continued survival of
mankind depend upon an exact knowledge of his own capabilities;
and thus, more particularly, of his own relationship to knowledge
itself.

The basic goal of Man which embraces all his activities is
apparently survival. Survival might be defined as an impulse to
persist through time, in space, as matter and energy.

The impulse to survival is found to contain eight sub-impulses.
These are, first, the urge to survive as self; second, the urge to
survive through sex in the procreation of children; third, the
impulse to survive as a group; fourth, the impulse to survive as
mankind itself; fifth, the urge to survive as animal life; sixth,
the impulse to survive as the material universe of matter, energy,
space and time; seventh, the impulse to survive as a spirit; and
eighth, the impulse to survive as what may be called Supreme
Being.

The above sub-impulses are called dynamics; combined, they
form the overall urge towards survival, but each one of itself
plays its important role, both in the individual and in the wider
sphere named as a part of each impulse. Thus we see the
interdependency of the individual with the family, with the
group, with the species, with life-forms, with the material
universe itself, with spirits, and with God; and we see the
dependency of each one of these entities upon the individual
as a part of it.

The human mind might be conceived to be the recorder,
computer and solver of problems relating to survival.

Scientology introduces new and more workable ways of

5

thinking about things. It has found that an absolute is
unobtainable; neither zero nor infinity are as themselves
discoverable in a real universe but, as absolutes, may be posed as
symbols for an abstraction which could be supposed to exist but
which does not exist in fact. Therefore, there would be no
absolute good and no absolute evil. A thing to be "good" would
depend on the viewpoint of the observer, and the same condition
would exist for "bad."

Several new concepts germane to the fields of science and
humanities almost independent of its own work have been
introduced by Scientology. The first of these is the proper
definition of a static. The next is the first actual definition of
zero and its differentiation from infinity in terms of mathematics.
Another is the basic definition of space which hitherto was
omitted from the field of physics except in terms of time and
energy.

An optimum solution to any problem would be that solution
which brought the greatest benefits to the greatest number of
dynamics. The poorest solution would be that solution which
brought the fewest benefits to the least number of dynamics.
And here a benefit would be defined as that which would enhance
survival. Activities which brought minimal survival to a lesser
number of dynamics and damaged the survival of a greater
number of dynamics could not be considered rational activities.

While there could be no absolute right or absolute wrong, a
right action would depend upon its assisting the survival of the
dynamics immediately concerned; a wrong action would impede
the survival of the dynamics concerned.

Thought is subdivisible into data. A datum would be anything
of which one could become aware, whether the thing existed or
whether he created it.

Creativeness could be found to exceed existence itself; by
observation and definition it is discoverable that thought does
not necessarily have to be preceded by data, but can create data.
Imagination can then create without reference to pre-existing
states, and is not necessarily dependent upon experience

6

or data and does not necessarily combine these for its products.
Imagination could be classified as the ability to create or forecast
a future or to create, change or destroy a present or past.

Cause is motivated by the future.

Scientology as it applies to life is seen as a study in statics
and kinetics, which is to say a study of the interplay between no
motion and all motion, or less motion and more motion.

In thought itself at its highest range, we discover the only true
static known. In physics a static is represented as a body at rest
but it is known in physics that a body at rest is yet an equilibrium
of forces and is itself in motion if only on the level of molecular
motion. A true static would contain no motion, no time, no space
and no wavelength. To this static in Scientology is assigned the
mathematical symbol theta. This designation means solely a
theoretical static of distinct and precisely defined qualities
with certain potentials.

The all-motion or more-motion kinetic is termed MEST. This
word represents the material universe, or any universe. It is
combined from the first letters of the four words: matter, energy,
space and time.

The interplay between theta and mest results in activities
known as life, and causes the animation of living life forms. In
the absence of an interplay, the life form is dead.

The beingness of Man, by which is meant homo sapiens,
derives its impulse toward thought and action from theta and
takes its material form in mest.

Man, homo sapiens, is a composite being of four distinct and
divisible actualities: these parts are termed the thetan, the
memory banks, the genetic entity and the body.

The thetan, which will be described later in greater detail, has
the impulse of theta itself and can exist in matter, energy, space
and time, but derives its impulse from the potential of theta itself
and has certain definite goals and behavior characteristics of its
own.

The standard memory banks and the reactive memory banks
compose the memory banks of homo sapiens. These,

7

in the analogy of an electronic computer, are the file system.
The standard banks can be said to contain data of which Man is
easily and analytically aware and the reactive banks are those
which contain stimulus-response, in other words experience the
action of which is below the level of his awareness. The content
of the reactive banks was received during moments of lessened
awareness such as the unconsciousness of early life in times of
weariness, severe pain or heavy emotional stress, such data
operating automatically thereafter to command the person
without his consent. The standard memory banks are those in
which experience is stored for use in the estimation of the effort
necessary for survival and are concerned with analytical thought.
There is an additional storage of memory itself in a purer form
than in these banks, but this memory is contained in the
capabilities of the thetan.

The genetic entity is that beingness not dissimilar to the
thetan which has carried forward and developed the body from
its earliest moments along the evolutionary line on earth and
which through experience, necessity and natural selection, has
employed the counter-efforts of the environment to fashion an
organism of the type best fitted for survival, limited only by the
abilities of the genetic entity. The goal of the genetic entity
is survival on a much grosser plane of materiality.

The body itself is a carbon-oxygen engine which runs at a
temperature of 98.6 Deg. F. on low combustion fuel, generally
derived from other life forms. The body is directly monitored by
the genetic entity in activities such as respiration, heart-beat and
endocrine secretions; but these activities may be modified by the
thetan.

The human mind could be said to be the primary activity of the
thetan with his own memory and ability plus the analytical
standard memory banks, modified by the reactive memory banks
of the genetic entity, and limited by the mechanical abilities and
adaptabilities in action of the body itself.

8

These four parts of homo sapiens are detachable one from the
other.

The personality and beingness which actually is the individual
and is aware of being aware and is ordinarily and normally the
"person" and who the individual thinks he is, is the thetan; and
this awareness can continue, is clarified and is not interrupted
by a detachment from the body which is accomplished by standard
processing.

The thetan is immortal and is possessed of capabilities well
in excess of those hitherto predicted for Man and the detachment
accomplishes in the sober practice of science the realization of
goals envisioned but questionably, if ever, obtained in
spiritualism, mysticism and allied fields.

The anatomy of the beingness of Man is one of the lesser
studies of Scientology where the beingness relates only to homo
sapiens, for the detachment of the thetan by standard operating
procedure is in common practice a simplicity, and it is therefore
unrewarding to explore to much greater depths the remaining
combination of the standard and reactive banks, the genetic
entity and the body, since the last three are a specialized
combination. Nevertheless the development of the technology
necessary to bring about a complete state of beingness of that
which a man actually is found to be, has provided considerable
data and technology in the field of memory recordings, the
peculiarities of energy behavior around and about the body, the
history of the evolutionary line, the identity of the genetic entity
and much of the construction of the body itself, as well as the
construction of the real universe. The bulk of the data which
concerns homo sapiens, other than the beingness of the thetan,
has been covered adequately earlier and elsewhere.*

* See Foreword

--
Footnote

In earlier efforts to better his state of beingness, Man has
considered homo sapiens as an inseparable unit which was either
alive or dead. Further, Man has thought it necessary, when he
thought about

9

it at all, to address and reduce the inroads of the past before
the individual could assume any high level of beingness in
the present. In Dianetics it was found that the mind was sub
divisible into two parts, the first was the analytical mind
which did the actual thinking and computing for the individual
but which, in the present civilized state of Man, was almost
submerged. The second was the reactive mind. The reactive
mind was considered to be a stimulus-response mechanism which
derived and acted upon the data of experience without thought.
The content of the reactive mind was found to be the
accumulated bad experiences of the organism not only in its
current lifetime, but in the other lifetimes which it apparently had
led in order to accomplish the task of evolution and to arrive at
its present state of structural beingness. The reactive mind was
the blueprint but it was also the stimulus-response dictator of
action. The formula which described the reactive mind was that
everything is identified with everything. Dianetics accomplished
a great deal in the elevation of beingness by reducing the most
violent incidents in the reactive mind by a process known as the
erasure of engrams. An engram was a period of momentary or
long pain and unconsciousness such as would occur in an injury,
operation or illness. Such incidents could be reduced simply by
"returning" the individual to the moment of the accident and then
going over the accident step by step, perceptic by perceptic, as
though it was happening again. After this had been done several
times, the accident was found to have no more command value
upon the individual. The reduction of the command value of the
reactive mind was found to be necessary to a proper resolution of
aberration. Understand that the reduction of the command value
of the reactive mind was the goal, not merely the reduction of
the reactive mind. When one is addressing the problems of an
individual or group of men, the reduction of the command value
of the reactive mind is still the goal where Scientology is used
as a process to eradicate aberration. But two other methods are
available for reducing this command value. The first of these
lies in the removal of the analytical mind from proximity to the
reactive mind and the increase then of the potential of the
analytical mind until it can command and handle any reactive
mind with ease. The second is simply the rehabilitation of the
analytical mind by permitting it to use its creative ability in the
construction of a universe of its own. It was found that there was
no purpose in reducing incidents out of the reactive mind beyond
the point where the analytical mind could step apart from the
reactive mind, and then command it. Dianetics is a science
which addresses itself directly to the reactive mind to reduce
the command value of that reactive mind. Scientology is an
embracive subject, much wider in application. It has as its goal
the beingness that can exist without an energy or matter, which
is to say, without time, whether homo sapiens or not. Dianetics
was an evolutionary step, a tool which had use in arriving at
a higher level of knowledge; its use, however, produced slower
results and much lower goals. Further, Dianetic processes were
limited in that they could not be applied more than a few
hundred hours without the reactive mind assuming a very high
command level over the analytical mind due to the fact that the
reactive mind was being validated continually in the process,
whereas the better process was to validate the analytical mind.
Medicine and psychology, as practiced today, have absorbed and
are using many of the principles of Dianetics without caring to
be aware of the later developments in the field of the mind as
represented here. Thus, the society absorbs and very often
misunderstands knowledge.

10

The beingness of Man is essentially the beingness of theta itself
acting in the mest and other universes in the accomplishment of
the goals of theta and under the determination of a specific
individual and particular personality for each being.

Scientology is the science of knowing how to know.

Scientology is the science of knowing sciences. It seeks to
embrace the sciences and humanities as a clarification of
knowledge itself.

One studies to know a science. His study is without avail when
he does not know the science of study.

One lives and learns of life but life is not comprehensible to
him, no matter how much he lives, unless he knows the science
of life itself.

One studies the humanities. If he does not know how to study
the humanities he often fails.

The physicist and the fission bomb expert know physics but not
the humanities. They do not conceive the relationship and thus
physics itself fails.

Into all these things -- biology, physics, psychology and life
itself -- the skills of Scientology can bring order and
simplification.

One lives better with Scientology since life, understood and
controlled, becomes liveable.

11

A civilization could fare better with Scientology since that
would not be pock-marked with unknowns and rendered null
with chaos.

The only richness there is is understanding. That is all that
Scientology has to give.

12

THETA-MEST THEORY

Scientology is essentially a study of statics and kinetics.
If anything, it is more exact than what are called the physical
sciences, for it is dealing with a theoretical static and a
theoretical kinetic which are at the opposite ends of a spectrum
of all motion.

One of the most valuable contributions of Scientology to
knowledge is the definition of a true static. A static has no
motion; it has no width, length, breadth, depth; it is not held
in suspension by an equilibrium of forces; it does not have mass;
it does not contain wavelengths; it has no situation in time or
space. Formerly a static was defined only as a motionless object
which definition is not adequate, since an object -- or a state of
rest for an object -- is attained only by an equilibrium of forces
and all objects have in themselves, if only on a molecular level,
motion, and exist in space which is itself an integral portion of
motion. Hence we see we are dealing with a higher level static.

The capabilities of the static are not limited.

The static interacts with the kinetic which is considered to be
the ultimate of motion.

In Scientology, the static is represented by the mathematical
symbol theta; the kinetic is called MEST.

Theta can be the property or beingness of any individual and is,
for our purposes, considered to be individualistic for each
individual.

MEST stands for matter, energy, space and time, and is a
composite of the first letter of each. The word MEST appearing
all by itself denotes the physical universe. MEST with a
designation word after it designates another's universe.

The original of the Theta-MEST theory may be found in Science
of Survival 1951. After the concept of the true static was reached,
problems of processing began to solve much more rapidly, and
the main proof of the Theta-MEST theory

13

is its workability and the fact that it predicted an enormous
amount of phenomena which, when looked for, were found to
exist and which, when applied, resolved cases rapidly.

It is now considered that the origin of MEST lies with theta
itself, and that MEST, as we know the physical universe, is a
product of theta.

The physicist has adequately demonstrated that matter seems
to be composed of energy which has become condensed in certain
patterns. It can also be demonstrated adequately in Scientology
that energy seems to be produced by and to emanate from theta.
Thus it could be considered that theta producing energy,
condenses the space in which the energy is contained, which then
becomes matter. This theory of condensation is borne out by an
examination of a state of aberration of many preclears who have
been found to have descended down the tone-scale to the degree
that their own space was contracted and who were found to be
surrounded by ridges and who are thus "solid" to the degree that
they are aberrated. Further, they can be found to be an effect in
the ratio that they are so solidified. Further, a psychotic treats
words and other symbols, including his own thoughts, as though
they were objects.

Time

It is stated in the 1951 axioms that time could be considered to
be the single arbitrary, and might thus be the single source of
human aberration. A further investigation and inspection of time
has demonstrated it to be the action of energy in space, and it has
been found that the duration of an object roughly approximates
its solidity.

Time could be considered to be a manifestation in space which
is varied by objects. An object could be considered to be any unit
manifestation of energy including matter.

It can be readily established that an individual loses his
self-determinism in the ratio that he possesses objects and
utilizes force.

14

Time could be considered to be an abstract term assigned to the
behavior of objects. It can be found to be regulatable by
postulates.

The desire, enforcement and inhibition in the possession, giving
and receiving of objects can be found to establish a time-track.

Time in the field of behavior and experience becomes having.
Having and Not Having form between themselves the
interchanges which become survival.

If the auditor processes having, giving and receiving, energy
and items, he will discover that he is processing time directly and
has processed into a higher level the time sense and reaction of
the preclear.

The primary manifestation of this is found in criminality, where
the individual is unable to conceive the investment of energy to
attain an object. He will not "work." The criminal in particular
wishes to collapse and render without time, desiring and having;
whereas this may be possible in one's own universe, it is not
possible in the MEST universe. The MEST universe is so planned
as to make work necessary in order to have, thus establishing a
gradient scale of having. The criminal has not made the distinction
between his own universe which he possibly once had and where he
could attain things instantaneously, and the MEST universe. He
thus has no "respect for property". The identification of his own
universe with the MEST universe is so marked as to be in itself
a highly aberrated identification, thus rendering his conduct
destructive to himself and causing him to fail.

Space

Space is creatable by a thetan. He may also conserve, alter and
destroy space.

Space is the first condition necessary to action. The second
condition necessary is energy. The third condition is possession
or not possession.

15

For the purposes of processing, and possibly for many other
purposes, space can be considered to be the equivalent in
experience of beingness. One is as alive as he has space and as
he can alter and occupy that space.

The workable definition of space is "viewpoint of dimension":
there is no space without viewpoint, there is no space without
points to view. This definition of space remedies a very great
lack in the field of physics, which defines space simply as that
thing in which energy acts. Physics has defined space as change
of motion or in terms of time and energy. Time has been defined
in terms of space and energy; energy has been defined in terms of
space and time only. These definitions, thus interdependent,
made a circle out of which there was no exit unless one had a
better definition for one of those items: time, space or energy.
In such a way was the science of physics limited.

Space is the viewpoint of dimension. The position of the
viewpoint can change, the position of the dimension points can
change. A dimension point is any point in a space or at the
boundaries of space. As a specialized case those points which
demark the outermost boundaries of the space or its corners
are called in Scientology anchor points. An anchor point is
a specialized kind of dimension point. Any energy has as its
basic particle a dimension point. The dimension point can be of
different kinds and substances. It can combine in various ways,
it can take on forms, become objects. It can flow as energy. A
particle of admiration or a particle of force are alike dimension
points. Dimension points, by shifting, can give the viewpoint
the illusion of motion. The viewpoint, by shifting, can give
the dimension points the illusion of motion. Motion is the
manifestation of change of viewpoint of dimension points.

Viewpoints are not visible, but viewpoints can have dimension
points which are themselves visible. The basic hidden influence
is then a viewpoint, A material of the universe cannot exist in
any universe without something in which to exist. The something
in which it exists is space,

16

and this is made by the attitude of a viewpoint which demarks an
area with anchor points.

Rather than existing on theory in common with other principles
of Scientology this manifestation of created space can be
experienced by an individual, who discovers that space can be
made coincidentally with any other space. Space then, is not an
arbitrary and absolute but it is creatable or uncreatable by a
viewpoint.

Any being is a viewpoint, he is as much a being as he is able
to assume viewpoints. Thus in any society we would inevitably
have a statement of the infinity of viewpoint such as "God is
everywhere." Beings instinctively assign the most beingness to
that thing which would be everywhere and when Man desires to
assign an unlimited power or command to anything he says that
it is everywhere.

Energy

The basic unit of energy is the dimension point. A specialized
kind of dimension point is the anchor point which demarks
space, but this is again the basic unit of energy. Dimension
points are created, controlled or uncreated by the thetan.

The qualities of energy are three in number: the first is its
existing characteristics; the second is its wavelength; the third
is its direction of flow or absence of direction of flow.

The characteristics can be divided into three classes in their
turn. These are flows, dispersals and ridges. The flow is a
transfer of energy from one point to another, and the energy in
a flow can have any type of wave from the simplest sine-wave
to the most complex noise-wave. Flowingness is simply the
characteristic of transferringness. A dispersal is a series
of outflows from a common point. A dispersal is, primarily,
a number of flows extending from a common center. The best
example of a dispersal is an explosion. There is such a thing as
an in-dispersal. This would be where the flows are all travelling
toward a common

17

center. One might call this an implosion. Outflow and inflow
from a common center are classified alike under the word
"dispersal" for handy classification. The third type of energy
characteristic is the ridge. A ridge is essentially suspended
energy in space. It comes about by flows, dispersals or ridges
impinging against one another with a sufficient solidity to cause
an enduring state of energy. A dispersal from the right and a
dispersal from the left colliding in space with sufficient volume
create a ridge which then exists after the flow itself has ceased.
The duration of ridges is quite long.

Wavelength is the relative distance from node to node in any
flow of energy. In the MEST universe, wavelength is commonly
measured by centimeters or meters. The higher the frequency
the shorter the wavelength is considered to be on the gradient
scale of wavelengths. The lower the frequency the longer the
wavelength is considered to be on a gradient scale. Radio, sound,
light and other manifestations, each has its place on the gradient
scale of wavelengths. Wavelength has no bearing upon wave
characteristic, but applies to the flow or potential flow. A
ridge has potential flow which, when released, may be supposed to
have a wavelength. The various perceptions of the body and the
thetan, each one is established by a position on the gradient
scale of wavelengths. They are each one an energy flow.

Direction of flow, relative to the thetan, is of primary interest
in energy study. There would be outflow and inflow. There could be
outflow and inflow for a source point exterior to the thetan and
caused by that source point, and there could be outflow and
inflow by the thetan himself.

Matter

Matter is a condensation of energy. The more energy condenses,
the less space it occupies and the greater its endurance becomes.
A flow of energy has a brief duration. Flows of energy meeting
and causing ridges obtain greater solidity and longer duration.

18

The solidification of matter is found to be itself duration or
time. Energy becomes matter if condensed. Matter becomes
energy if dispersed.

The manifestations of energy are essentially at long length the
manifestations of matter; one cannot consider matter without also
considering energy.

In processing, no differentiation is made between matter and
energy beyond labelling the freer-flowing and more
instantaneous forms "action" and the more solid and enduring
forms "having."

In order to have matter, one must have space, must have had
energy, and must have.

In order to have space, it is necessary to have a viewpoint and
the potential in the viewpoint of creating anchor points. Thus, in
order to view matter, much less control or create it, it is
necessary to have a viewpoint.

19

AFFINITY, COMMUNICATION AND REALITY

In human experience, which is probably an experience senior to
and creative of such a thing as the material universe, space,
energy and matter become beingness, doingness and havingness.

Beingness is space regardless of energy and matter; doingness
requires both space and matter; and havingness requires space
and energy.

We have a gradient scale from space to matter which starts at
the arbitrary number of 40.0 for our purposes and goes down to
0.0 for the purposes of homo sapiens and to -8.0 for the purposes
of estimating a thetan. This gradient scale is called the tone
scale.

Space is found to be a broad characteristic from top to bottom of
the scale and necessary to each part of it, but it is discovered
that one has less and less space the more the scale is descended.
If one were to attain zero space for himself, he would attain,
even as a thetan, zero. That the body has space and the thetan
apparently, to himself, does not have space, is responsible mainly
for the feeling of not-beingness on the part of the thetan which
causes him to forget his own identity.

On this tone-scale, we have a theoretical point of no energy
at 40.0, and a point where energy begins to be solid around 0.0;
well below this level we have matter formed of the type known in
the material universe. Thus one can see that this tone-scale is a
gradient scale of energy, and that the energy is free toward the
top of the scale and becomes less free and more fixed as one
descends the scale.

A very important triangle in Scientology is the triangle called
ARC. This stands for Affinity, Reality and Communication. It
was used for some time before its relation to energy was
understood.

20

Affinity is wave characteristic and is the range of human
emotions. Human emotions manifest themselves in energy flows,
dispersals and ridges. As the emotions drop down from high on
the scale to low on the scale, they are found to follow a cycle
of dispersals, flows and ridges. Each dispersal has a harmonic
on the scale, each flow has a harmonic and each ridge has a
harmonic. Looking up the scale from zero one finds death as
a ridge and, in human emotion, an apathy. Apathy reaches up
some extent from death but at this end the harmonics are
very close together and there are two unnamed human emotions
immediately above apathy. One of them, next above apathy, is a
flow; immediately above that there is a fearlike dispersal. The
next named emotion above apathy is grief. Grief is a ridge and is
occasioned by loss. Immediately above grief there is a flow. The
next named emotion, however, is the next level, the dispersal
called fear which is a drawing away. There is a flow immediately
above this called covert hostility. Above covert hostility is anger
which is a solid ridge. Between anger at 1.5 and antagonism at
2.0 there is a dispersal -- unnamed but visible in behavior. At 2.0
we have the flow outgoing called antagonism. Above this at 2.5
there is an idle dispersal known as boredom. Above boredom at
3.0 is a ridge called conservatism. At 4.0 we have another flow
called enthusiasm. Each one of these points is a harmonic of
a lower point. The characteristic of energy whether a flow,
dispersal or ridge, expresses itself in human emotion in terms of
affinity. Affinity is the cohesiveness of human relationships, and
can be acceptance or rejection of such relationships. Affinity
as here used is a degree of emotion. Its equivalent in the MEST
universe is the cohesion and adhesion or revulsion from matter
and energy itself as found in positive and negative currents, and
in forms of matter.

Communication is an interchange of energy from one beingness
to another; in the thetan and in homo sapiens communication is
known as perception. It is not solely talk, which is a symbolized
form of communication which sums

21

ideas which are themselves either a product of the tone-scale or
are above the tone-scale as the case may be. Sight, of course, is
at the wavelength of light. Sound is recorded as hearing. Tactile
and smell are low-level wave types of the particle variety. And
all other perceptions can be found on this gradient scale of
wavelengths, modified by the wave characteristic in terms of
type, whether sine or more complex. The auditor must realize
that communication is essentially directed or received energy and
is inhibited by the willingness or unwillingness of the preclear
to take responsibility for energy or forms of energy. Where
responsibility is low, perception is low.

Reality is established by wave direction or lack of motion. As
one ascends the tone scale from 0.0 he finds the realities are
strongest at the points of flow and are weakest at the points
where there are ridges on the scale. The reality of apathy, grief
and anger is very poor, but in the immediate vicinity of these
there are more intense realities. Reality is established by
agreement or disagreement or no opinion. Agreement is an
inflow to the individual; disagreement is outflow from the
individual; no opinion can be established by the proximity of the
individual to the center of a dispersal or by a ridge. Because of
its wealth of energy and energy forms, the thetan finds himself
ordinarily outdone in energy emanation by the Mest universe.
Thus he is the target of an almost continuous inflow which
causes him to have a consistent and continual agreement with the
MEST universe. He seldom disagrees with the MEST universe,
and the best processing one can do is to break this agreement
and turn it into an opposite flow, for only in this wise can a
preclear's ability to handle energy and be responsible for it
be re-established. If you ask a preclear to get the concept
of agreeing, he will find himself experiencing an inflow upon
himself. Hypnotism is performed by causing a subject to receive
a continuous rhythmic or monotonous flow from the operator.
After this flow has continued the subject will accept any reality
which the operator cares to deliver unto him. It is in this case,

22

evidently, with the MEST universe, and the solidity of the MEST
universe is completely dependent upon one's acceptance of it
in terms of agreement. Reality in essence is agreement or
disagreement. When one speaks of reality, he speaks in terms
of the MEST universe. The MEST universe, according to any
computation one cares to make upon it, is found to consist of
a high-level agreement amongst us. Those who disagree with
the MEST universe are punished by the MEST universe. From the
standpoint of the MEST universe, the greatest reality would be
had by matter itself and this seems to be its evident goal toward
the thetan, to make him into solid energy. The reality on one's
own universe is poor because he is in a comatose state of
agreement with the MEST universe. It is found on processing,
however, that a preclear is in poor condition in direct ratio that
he has accepted and agrees and complies with the MEST universe,
and is in good and active condition in direct ratio to the degree
he can break this flow of agreement and establish his own flows
and thus create his own universe. One's appreciation of the
MEST universe is almost uniformly the energy which one
himself places upon the MEST universe, in other words his
illusions. When he loses his hopes and dreams (his illusions),
it is because he has lost his ability to emanate energy back
at the MEST universe and is dependent upon the energy the MEST
universe thrusts at him.

ARC thus form a tone-scale. This tone-scale at any level finds
a comparative state in affinity, in the reality and the
communication abilities of the preclear. Thus, by testing the
preclear and discovering his chronic emotion, his chronic state
of agreement or disagreement, and his ability to communicate or
not communicate, one establishes a level on this tone-scale. ARC
form a triangle the corners of which are all at a single level. Thus
if one wishes to create an increase of tone for the preclear -- and
one must do that to increase his self-determinism -- he will find
that he cannot raise the emotional state of the preclear without
also addressing the reality and communication of the preclear.
He cannot raise

23

the reality of the preclear without addressing his affinity
and communication problems. He cannot raise communication with
the preclear without addressing his reality and affinity problems.
The worst mistake an auditor can make is to undervalue this
triangle in processing. A more or less complete tone-scale can
be found in Science of Survival, and Book I of that volume is
devoted entirely to an evaluation of the tone-scale and people.

There are two positions on the tone-scale for the preclear
when he is still a homo sapiens. The composite known as homo
sapiens is considered to be dead at 0.0 and can rise on the
tone-scale to slightly above 4.0. Thus homo sapiens has this as
his range. The thetan, however, who, in homo sapiens, is below
the level of awareness of self in terms of space and energy, has a
wider range; and, as the thetan is basically the preclear and the
beingness and identity of the preclear in actuality, this second
range is even more important. This second range goes from -- 8.0
to 40.0 on the tone-scale. The optimum position for the thetan is
considered to be 20.0 which is the point of optimum action. A
homo sapiens as such could not attain this level of the tone-scale
because of his physical limitations.

Identity Versus Individuality

The most common confusion on the part of a preclear is
between himself as an identified object and his beingness. One's
beingness depends upon the amount of space which he can create
or command, not upon his identification or any label. Identity
as we know it in the MEST universe is much the same as
identification, which is the lowest form of thought. When one is
an object and is himself an effect, he believes that his ability
to be cause is dependent upon his having a specific and finite
identity. This is an aberration; as his beingness increases his
individuality increases, and he quickly rises above the level of
necessity for identity for he is himself self-sufficient with his
own identity.

24

The first question a preclear undergoing theta clearing asks
himself is quite often: "How will I establish my identity if I
have no body?" There are many remedies for this. The worst method
of having an identity is having a body. As his individuality
increases and his beingness expands -- these two being almost
synonymous -- he is less and less concerned with this problem;
that he is concerned with the problem tells the auditor where he
is on the tone-scale.

One of the control mechanisms which has been used on thetans
is that when they rise in potential they are led to believe
themselves one with the universe. This is distinctly untrue.
Thetans are individuals. They do not as they rise up the scale,
merge with other individualities. They have the power of
becoming anything they wish while still retaining their own
individuality. They are first and foremost themselves. There
is evidently no Nirvana. It is the feeling that one will merge
and lose his own individuality that restrains the thetan from
attempting to remedy his lot. His merging with the rest of the
universe would be his becoming matter. This is the ultimate in
cohesiveness and the ultimate in affinity, and is at the lowest
point of the tone-scale. One declines into a brotherhood with
the universe. When he goes up scale, he becomes more and more an
individual capable of creating and maintaining his own universe.
In this wise (leading people to believe they had no individuality
above that of MEST) the MEST universe cut out all competition.

Beingness

Space is not necessary to the beingness of a thetan when the
thetan is above the tone level of 40.0 and can create space at
will. He creates space to have specific beingness. At 40.0 space
and beingness can be considered to be interchangeable. Beingness
can exist without any energy or matter, which is to say, without
time.

However, in this universe, in order to achieve a state of
beingness, which is more to our point here, it is necessary to

25

have a viewpoint from which dimension points can be created or
controlled. One has as much viewpoint as he has space in which
to view in relationship to other viewpoints having space in which
to view, thus one has a condition of relative beingness.

Doingness

Action requires space and energy manifestations, and the
definition of action could be doingness directed toward
havingness. In order to accomplish action, a preclear must be
able to handle energy.

Doingness with energy and objects as found in the MEST
universe is very far from the only method of producing existence.
This is a specialized form of behavior and may exist in any
universe but is very peculiar to the MEST universe.

Havingness

Time is an abstract manifestation which has no existence
beyond the idea of time occasioned by objects, where an object
may be either energy or matter. Time can be defined as change in
space, but where one attempts to define motion as change in
space, the definition lacks usefulness since one does not define
what is changing in space; there must be something there to
change in space in order to have the illusion of time.

As was earlier discovered in Scientology, the single arbitrary
is time. This is because time did not exist as such but stemmed
from havingness. When Man experiences "time," he is experiencing
havingness or not-havingness.

Time is summed up as "had," "have," and "will have." Goals in
the MEST universe are summed uniformly under the heading of
"will have." One engages in action in order to have.

This is one of the most important points of processing. The
individual has made a postulate to have and has then gained
something he did not want at every single point on the time track
where you find him stuck. He desired to have a

26

castle. He may have been engaging in an action which would
gain for him a castle and was stopped and killed by an explosion
which destroyed a wall before him. The explosion caught him
with a postulate that he would have and gave him something he
did not want. Struggling with the facsimile afterwards, the
auditor will find that the incident began with the postulate to
have and is now in a state of indecision since the explosion is
unwanted.

Bluntly, any and all aberrative incidents to be discovered in
a preclear are a reversal of havingness where the preclear did
not want something and had to have it or wanted something and
could not have it or wanted something and got something else.

The entire problem of the future is the problem of goals. The
entire problem of goals is the problem of possession. The entire
problem of possession is the problem of time.

Time is impossible without possession of objects.

Thus is resolved one of the weightier problems of the human
mind. The auditor may find it difficult to encompass this
principle, since time may continue to exist for him as an entity,
an unknown and hovering thing. If he will use the principle that
the past is had or did not have, that the present is has or does not
have and that the future is will have or will not have, and that
past, present and future are divided and established entirely by
desire, enforcement and inhibition of havingness, he will find his
preclear recovering swiftly.

Universes

A universe is defined as a "whole system of created things."
There could be, and are, many universes, and there could be
many kinds of universes: we are for our purposes here interested
in two particular universes. The first of these is the Mest
universe, that agreed upon reality of matter, energy, space
and time which we use as anchor points and through which we
communicate. The other is our personal universe which is no
less a matter of energy and space.

27

These two universes are entirely distinct and it could be said that
the principal confusion and aberration of the individual stems
from his having confused one for the other. Where these two
universes have crossed, in the mind of the individual, we find a
confusion of control and ownership for the reason that the two
universes do not behave alike.

Whereas each one of these universes was apparently founded on
the same modus operandi as any other universe, which is to say,
the creation of space by putting out anchor points, the formation
of forms by combinations of dimension points, the Mest universe
and one's own universe do not behave similarly for him.

One's own universe is amenable to instantaneous creation and
destruction, by himself and without argument. He can create
space and bring it into a "permanent status." He can create and
combine forms in that space and cause those forms to go into
motion and he can make that motion continuously automatic or
he can regulate it sporadically or he can regulate it totally,
and all by postulate. One's envisionment of one's own universe is
intensely clear. The reality of one's own universe is sharper and
brighter, if anything, than his reality on the Mest universe. We
call one's attitude towards his own universe "actuality," and his
attitude towards the Mest universe, since it is based upon
agreement, "reality."

Unless an individual is at a very high operating level, he
conceives it necessary to use physical force and to apply MEST
universe forces to MEST universe forces in order to get action,
motion and new forms. His activity in the MEST universe is an
activity of handling energy and his ability to exist in the Mest
universe is conditional upon his ability to use force. The MEST
universe is essentially a force universe, a fact which is,
incidentally, antipathetic to most thetans. One's ability to
handle the MEST universe is conditional upon his not abdicating
from his right to use force, right to give orders, his right to
punish, his right to administer personal justice, and so forth.
We are presented in the MEST universe with a crude and brutal
scene wherein gigantic forces

28

are in pressure against gigantic forces and where the end of
all seems but destruction. Paradoxically, in the MEST universe,
destruction of form only is possible, since by the law of the
conservation of energy, the destruction of actual material objects
is impossible, only conversion being attainable.

In the MEST universe ethics seem to be a liability, honesty
is all but impossible save when armed with force of vast
magnitude. Only the strong can afford to be ethical, and yet
the use of strength begets but the use of strength. In the
MEST universe we are confronted with paradoxes upon paradoxes
where behavior is concerned, for behavior in the MEST universe
is regulated by stimulus-response and not by analytical thought
or reason. The MEST universe demands of us complete and utter
obedience and agreement on the penalty of extermination, yet
when one has agreed entirely with the MEST universe he finds
himself unable to perceive it with clarity.

In one's own universe, on the other hand, honesty, ethics,
happiness, good behavior, justice, all become possible.

It is one of the operations of the MEST universe that it is a
jealous universe and those who are thoroughly imbued with the
principles of the MEST universe have even as their best efforts
the goal of eradicating one's own universe. A control operation
begins early in the life of almost every man, whereby his
imagination is condemned. His own universe is not imaginary,
but it may be said to be so and if his imagination is condemned,
then he loses his ability to garnish the hardness and brutality
of the MEST universe with hopes and dreams. When he loses this
he becomes a slave of the MEST universe, and as a slave he
perishes. His road to immortality lies, then, in another direction
than in the complete subservient agreement with the MEST universe
and the handling and conversion of its forces. This is a matter
which has been subjected continuously to test and it is intensely
surprising to people to discover that the rehabilitation of their
creative ability, their own space, their own images,

29

rehabilitates as well their ability to confront the MEST universe
with a strong and ethical face.

Creative processing, especially where it divorces all thought
from thought of the MEST universe and follows out along a line
of the rehabilitation of one's own universe without attention
to the MEST universe, is one level of processing which produces
magnificent results and which is a standby in any case, no matter
how difficult.

On the other hand, the rehabilitation of the MEST universe
itself, in the concept of the individual, accomplishes a very
great deal in processing, and could be said to compare with the
rehabilitation of one's own universe; but the rehabilitation of
one's ability to perceive the MEST universe is dependent upon
his ability to perceive present time and the rehabilitation of
that ability. Dwelling upon the MEST universe past or its future
is fruitless, thinking about the MEST universe, attempting to
predict the MEST universe, planning to reorganize and handle
the MEST universe, all defeat one's ability to handle the MEST
universe. When he simply begins to perceive the MEST universe
in present time and to examine that which he sees, with the idea
that he can be what he sees, he loses all fear of the MEST
universe.

There is a differentiation process in one's own universe, a
differentiation process exclusively for the MEST universe and a
differentiation process which pulls apart one's own universe and
the MEST universe.

The first of these processes simply goes about reconstructing
one's own universe with no attention to the MEST universe.
The second causes the individual to contact the MEST universe
present time and to observe that present time continuously. The
third differentiates between the MEST universe and one's own
universe and consists of "mocking-up" one's own universe
duplicate of every MEST universe object he can perceive, and
then actually comparing these one against the other.

Creating space and mocking-up items in it is the rehabilitation
of one's own universe and is a primary process.

30

Differentiating between two similar objects in the MEST
universe such as two books, two chairs, two spaces, with one's
MEST eyesight, accomplishes much in being able to face and
handle the MEST universe.

The mocking-up of MEST universe duplicates, which is to say
constructing a universe parallel to the MEST universe, is the
mechanism by which facsimiles (following) are made and this
process brings under control the mechanisms which make
facsimiles.

The original definition of Scientology 8-8008 was the
attainment of infinity by the reduction of the apparent infinity
and power of the MEST universe to a zero for himself, and the
increase of the apparent zero of one's own universe to an infinity
for oneself. This is an ideal and theoretical process, it is not
necessarily attainable in actuality or reality but it very well may
be. It can be seen that infinity stood upright makes the number
eight: thus, Scientology 8-8008 is not just another number, but
serves to fix into the mind of the individual a route by which he
can rehabilitate himself, his abilities, his ethics and his goals.

Terminals

At every turn in the examination of the MEST universe we
discover that it is a two-terminal universe. In the manufacture of
electricity it is necessary to have two terminals. In order to have
an opinion evaluated, it is necessary to have an opinion against
which the first can be evaluated. A datum can be understood
in the MEST universe only when it is compared to a datum of
comparable magnitude. This is two terminals operating in terms
of thought. Two MEST universe terminals which are similar,
placed side by side will discharge to some degree against each
other. This is observable in gravity as well as in electricity.

A primary difference between the MEST universe and one's
own universe is that one's own universe is not a two-terminal
universe necessarily. One can mock up in one's

31

own universe two terminals which will discharge against each
other, but he can also at will mock up two terminals which are
identical which will not discharge against each other.

There are a number of processes which could include double
terminals. One terminal made to face another terminal (in terms
of mock-up) can be discharged one against the other in such a
way as to relieve aberration connected with things similar to
the terminal thus mocked up. However, these two terminals
do not furnish a double terminal of a communication line. A
communication line is more important than a communication
point. Thus, if one wished to discharge anything, he would
desire to discharge the communication line. The MEST universe
is intensely dependent upon communication lines rather than
communication terminals. One takes two pairs of such terminals
then, and standing them in relationship to each other, discovers
that he has now four terminals but these four terminals furnish
only two lines. These two lines will discharge one against the
other.

This, as a limited process, should not be continued very long. It
is of greatest interest in rendering assistance after an accident
where it is only necessary to mock up the accident twice, or
indeed, to mock up something similar to an injured limb, to have
the pain and discomfort and aberration discharged. Should one
burn one's fingers, it is necessary only to mock up his fingers
twice side by side and then twice again, making four mock ups
with two communication lines, to have the pain in the finger
subside. The mock-ups discharge at the same time as one's
injured finger re-experiences the incident. This manifestation is
the manifestation of the MEST universe, it is not a manifestation
of one's own universe and if practiced over a long period of
time is essentially an agreement with the MEST universe, a
thing which should be avoided; thus it is a limited process.

A terminal is, in essence, any point of no form or any form or
dimension from which energy can flow or by which energy can
be received. A viewpoint then, is a sort of terminal,

32

but a terminal must have a particle in order to do automatic
interchanges and one finds that a viewpoint can be affected by
the MEST universe only when the viewpoint has identified itself
with some MEST universe article, such as a body. The rehabilitation
of the viewpoint's ability to be, or not be, at will is essential
in order that a viewpoint be self-determined about what is
affecting him and what is not affecting him. This depends, of
course then, upon what a viewpoint identifies himself with and
depends upon the ability of the viewpoint to unidentify himself
rapidly.

Terminals are anywhere in the MEST universe and can be
manufactured, of course, in one's own universe. The difference is
that any bit of solid, even on the level of an electron in the MEST
universe, is, willy-nilly, a terminal; it is affected in certain
ways, whether it likes it or not. Any particle in any object or
any flow of energy is in itself a terminal. A terminal can be
affected by any other terminal or can affect, to some degree,
other terminals.

This cross-relationship of terminals in the MEST universe is
MEST universe communication. In one's own universe a flow is
not necessary for the production of energy or potentials.

It is one of the sources of aberration that the scarcity of things
in the MEST universe causes one to own only one of things; this is
aberrative, since that one can gather into itself charges which are
not discharged since there is nothing immediately similar to it. If
one owned two of everything he had and if these two things were
nearly identical, he would find that his worry and concern about
these objects was greatly decreased. A child, for instance, should
have two dolls alike, not simply one doll. The reason for this is
that two terminals will discharge, one against the other. The
thetan is capable of mocking himself up to be exactly like
everything he sees. As a matter of fact, whatever a thetan can
see, he can be. Thus, the thetan makes himself into a terminal for
everything he sees whenever there is an absence of a duplicate.
Thus the thetan is in the danger of having

33

everything in the MEST universe discharging against him the
moment he alters his relationship to the MEST universe, This
fixes him in the belief that he cannot alter his relationship to
the MEST universe. Actually he is rather rapidly disabused of
this conception by processing. It is rather interesting to
"double-terminal" in mock-up form the childhood toys of an
individual. He will find there is an enormous amount of charge
simply in the fact that these toys were made out of MEST. The
favorite doll has a gravitic influence upon him.

Completely aside from the terminals one finds in an electric
motor and which produce so much current by reason of being
separated by the base of the motor, the subject of terminals goes
into behavior and explains in a great measure behavior on a
stimulus-response basis in the MEST universe. Indeed, it could
be said that the MEST universe came into being by one terminal
demanding attention from another terminal and these two
terminals thereafter facing each other continuing a discharge one
to the other. With very aberrated people, one cannot long discuss
things with them without getting the manifestation of terminals,
for the very aberrated fix on a terminal easily.

It could be said that the MEST universe is the average of
agreement amongst viewpoints and that the laws of the MEST
universe, no matter how physical, are the result of this
agreement; and, indeed, this definition suffices for those
conditions which are supposed to be "reality." The MEST universe
is very real, but any hypnotist can instruct a hypnotized
subject into the construction of a universe which has tactile,
sight, sound and any other manifestation possessed by the MEST
universe, and who is to say then, that the hypnotized subject is
not perceiving a universe? For one's own perception of the MEST
universe consists of his placing an object in proximity to or
against another object, and both of these objects are found to be
objects of the MEST universe. This is overlooked by individuals
when they, for instance, strike a desk with their fist. It is the
favorite declaration of

34

the materialist (that individual who is in a frantic state of
insistence upon the existence of the MEST universe) that "this
is real." The effects he is creating are being created by a
hand that is made out of MEST on an object which is MEST. The
individual has overlooked the fact that the hand with which he
is doing the pounding is itself MEST and that his knowledge of
that hand is actually no more than his perception of it. This
is a problem in two terminals.

Behavior of Universes

It could be said, then, that the difference between the
microcosm (one's own universe) and the macrocosm (the MEST
universe) is the difference between commanding it and agreeing
about it. One's own universe is what he would construct for
a universe without the opposition or the confusion of other
viewpoints. The MEST universe is that upon which one agrees in
order to continue in association with other viewpoints. This may
very well be the sole difference between these two universes.

This is exemplified by one's behavior-attitude in his own
universe as compared with his behavior-attitude in the MEST
universe. In one's own universe, the individual expansively plans
and devises (once he is fairly confident of it) along the lines of
beauty and happiness. In the MEST universe, even when one has
been rehabilitated to some degree, one's attitude still must
consist of a certain amount of watchfulness and co-operation.

One's universe is an unthwarted sway, the MEST universe is a
compromise. When one has compromised too long and too often,
when he has been betrayed and ridiculed and is no longer able to
create what he believes to be desirable, he descends down to
lower levels and in those levels, he is still more compelled to
face the MEST universe, and as such, loses much more of his
ability to handle the MEST universe. When an individual's
ability to create his own universe is rehabilitated it will
be found, strangely enough, that his

35

ability to handle the MEST universe has been rehabilitated. In
fact, this is the most secure route as represented in 8-8008 as a
road.

By actual experiment it can be demonstrated that one's ability
to mock-up a universe of his own and the resulting improvement of
his perceptions to that universe bring about an ability to perceive
the MEST universe. Indeed, it might be inferred as something
like a proof that the MEST universe in itself is an illusion based
upon agreement in view of the fact that the rehabilitation of the
ability to view illusion rehabilitates the ability to view the MEST
universe.

Thought Emotion and Effort

Thought is the highest level attainable. It is of two varieties;
one is clear thought established by will which is from 10.0 up on
the tone-scale, to well above 40.0; the other is thought established
by counter-efforts as in homo sapiens and governed entirely
on a stimulus-response basis. The first could be called
self-determined thought; the second could be called reactive
thought.

Self-determined thought expresses itself as will and consists
of the making of postulates based on evaluations and conclusions.
Will does not exist in time when it is at this level. Homo sapiens'
will, as Schopenhauer once remarked, is stubbornness taking
the place of the intellect. Will-power in homo sapiens is most
ordinarily demon-circuit power. Free from the body and its ridges
which themselves contain stimulus-response thought, the thetan
can change his postulates by making new evaluations and conclusions,
and can express his will directly. It is very difficult for a
thetan inside the head and confronted by the stimulus-response
ridges of the body, to do other than obey these stimulus-response
flows in agreement with the MEST universe.

Ideas are invariably and inevitably senior to force and action,
if those ideas stem from self-determined thought. Ideas born out of
stimulus-response thought bear at times an

36

almost indistinguishable similarity to self-determined ideas,
but are occasioned by associative logic. In homo sapiens, it is
quite common for the person to believe himself incapable of
originality. This is because the MEST universe will brook
no competitor. Operating on a highly self-determined plane,
originality is a simple thing to attain. What is called will-power,
then, could have two manifestations: the first would be actual
self-determined thought; the second would be a result of an
enforced or inhibited thought. When homo sapiens attempts to
exercise his will-power, he normally brings into flow the ridges
around the body and is nullified by them and is pressed into
aberrated behavior.

Ideas, when in the form of self-determined thought, exist above
the level of 40.0 on the tone-scale and extend down into the
action band.

Ideas of the stimulus-response variety are occasioned by
experience as held and contained in facsimiles and are actually
dictated to homo sapiens by circuits.

Postulate processing is that processing which addresses the
postulates, evaluations and conclusions of the preclear at the
level of self-determined thought, yet postulate processing
has some value when addressed to stimulus-response ideas.
Postulate processing is the primary and highest method of
processing a thetan. With creative processing, it constitutes
Scientology 8-8008.

Emotion, as known to homo sapiens, extends from slightly
above 4.0 down to 0.0, and depends upon the wave
characteristic.

Effort is an even lower level manifestation than emotion.
Matter would be the lower effort band.

Facsimiles

The best description of facsimiles is to be found in
Electropsychometric Auditing. A facsimile is an energy picture
which can be reviewed again.

Facsimiles can disperse or flow when addressed by new

37

energy, either exterior to the thetan or from the thetan. Thus
the environment can set a facsimile into action or the thetan can
set it into action. Homo sapiens is most normally controlled by
directing energy at his facsimiles and setting them into action
so as to cause him to dramatize facsimiles and training patterns.

Facsimiles are normally found to be fixed in large number upon
ridges.

A facsimile contains more than fifty easily identified
perceptions. It also contains emotion and thought.

There are many methods of processing facsimiles.

Assist Processing

An "assist" is the processing given to a recently injured human
being or thetan in order to relieve the stress of live energy which
is holding the injury in suspension. The direct running-out of the
energy contained in the recent facsimile is done by continually
running through the incident as though it were just that moment
happening to the preclear and recovering from it all his desire
to have it and to not have it. And when this has been done to
an extent where the energy is desensitized and the injury less
painful, the preclear is led to handle it as energy, placing it in
different places and times and reversing it and doing other things
with it.

The assist is very important, as it can cause an injury to resolve
or a person to recover in a fraction of the time which would
otherwise be required and, in many cases, it may save the life
of the individual and has done so many times in the past. The
auditor must know facsimile processing primarily to run an
assist and in order to know more about the anatomy of the
human mind.

As noted earlier under Terminals, an assist can be rendered
by mocking-up the injured part or the scene of injury as two
terminals and holding or recreating these mock-ups until the
injury abates. While doing this it will be noted particularly
that the mock-ups are at first uncontrollable

38

in most cases and then become much more easily controlled.
The uncontrollable factor of the mock-ups is answered by this;
whenever a pair of mock-ups or a single mock-up misbehaves,
which is to say, acts without the specific command of the
person getting the mock-up, the person doing the mock-up should
simply abandon the pair or single mock-up and put into its place
again one which is doing what he wants it to do; in other words,
a disobedient mock-up or pair of mock-ups is either put away or
moved to the right or left or forced into control, and in its
place the individual simply puts a mock-up which is obedient to
his control. An auditor should be careful on this point, for an
individual getting mock-ups will strain and worry and eventually
discover, he thinks, that it is impossible for him to control his
mock-ups. Using effort to control one's mock-ups is of little
avail; one simply creates them. Where mock-ups are absent, one
will appear if the individual will simply keep putting the thought
forward that it will appear. If he puts forward the thought often
enough and long enough, he will get such a mock-up. Where he
can get only one of a pair of mock-ups, if he will keep putting
the second one in it will eventually appear. What one is facing
in double terminalling here is so much charge on a single subject
that the charge dissipates the mock-up before the mock-up
can be adequately perceived. No matter how briefly, when an
individual has said a mock-up will be there a mock-up has
appeared; that it has disappeared promptly does not mean that he
cannot put a second mock-up there. Particular attention should
be given to this in assists because an assist is essentially
dealing with an injured member or a scene which contains pain.

In double-terminalling assists it will be found that the preclear
becomes ill or in pain in spite of how innocent he may feel it is
to hold two terminals out in front of him. The remedy for this
is simply to hold the two terminals (or replace them if they
disappear or misbehave) until the illness or feeling has abated.

One can handle worries in this fashion. One simply puts

39

up one worry and then duplicates it facing itself out in front
of him and the thought discharges against the thought until the
worry and the emotion connected with the worry disappear.

Thought, emotion, and effort can be dissipated by
double-terminalling in this fashion. It is again remarked that
this is a limited technique and should not be continued endlessly
as an end in itself. Thirty or forty hours of double-terminalling
is much more than enough. The route pointed out by Scientology
8-8008 is a better route than double-terminalling.

Double-terminalling is relegated to the level of assist and
changing one's state of mind. Double-terminalling doubt against
doubt undermines and gets at the bottom of every circuit; thus,
it, as a technique, should not be entirely neglected.

Cycle of Action

A cycle of action is dependent for its magnitude upon a cycle
of havingness. Because it is a cycle of havingness and beingness
and doingness, it is generally viewed as a cycle of time, but, as
we have seen, time is an abstract term to describe havingness.

The beginning and ending of a cycle depends upon the state
of havingness. A cycle starts with not-havingness, continues
through increased havingness, continues then in changed
havingness and ends with no-havingness. These conditions of
havingness bring about an illusion of time. Where a person does
not possess anything, he does not conceive himself to have any
time. Thus earlier parts of the track are lost to an individual
since he has no time in them, for he has no possession in them.

The most basic description of this should be in terms of
havingness, but the cycle can also be stated more abstractly in
terms as follows: creation, growth, conservation, decay and death
or destruction. This would be the cycle of any object; it would
also be the cycle of action as it pertained to an object in the
MEST universe.

A cycle of action is not necessarily fixed for all universes.

40

It is common to the MEST universe. There is no reason why in
some universe the cycle should not run from decayed havingness
into growth, but in the MEST universe it never does, except
through the point of not-havingness, death or destruction.

A cycle of action can also be stated in another way, and this
in terms of energy action. Motion is characterized by only three
conditions, and all motion is part of the gradient scale of these
three conditions. These conditions are: start, change and stop.
This compares to creation, alteration and destruction in terms of
experience.

In the "last 76 trillion years" the preclear has lived through
"spirals." These spirals were at first very long and then shortened
each time until the present spiral for most is about 40,000 years
as compared with the initial spiral of 100 million years. Thus one
can also plot the magnitude of havingness of the individual for
each one of these spirals. A spiral is not unlike a life. A life
is lived in a cycle of action. A past life is generally obscured
because one does not have the body of that life and conceives
himself to have now another identity and is not connected to the
last life by a havingness. He is, however, definitely connected
to his last lives by the facsimiles of those lives which he now
ignores.

Past havingness, present havingness and future havingness
mark past beingness, present beingness and future beingness and
also past action, present action and future action. The past,
present and future are established by havingness, but havingness,
doingness and beingness alike should be processed as intimately
connected in this cycle of action.

The condition of the body itself and its position on the cycle of
action as applied to the current life establishes to a large degree
the preclear's attitude toward processing. He will react toward
processing much in the manner dictated by the condition of the
body and its position on the cycle. The body goes through the
stages of creation, growth, conservation, decay and death.

A person in his middle years desires no change and may

41

be difficult to process for that reason, since the auditor is seeking
to attain change. A person in the later cycle area will run only
succumb material and will actually make an effort to succumb
through processing. His incidents are commonly those of grief and
loss since these are the manifestations of havingness in decay.
He has no hopes of having before him and all of his havingness
ordinarily no longer with him from the past.

The thetan going on the wider cycle of the spiral is discovered
early on the spiral to be in a high state of creativeness, a little
later to be intent upon a growth of havingness, a little later
attempting to change to avoid conserving, a little later to be
conserving, and then to be intent only on decay and dying, and
finally upon death itself. The auditor should differentiate very
sharply between the cycle of the spiral as applying to the thetan
and the cycle of a lifetime. He may find a very young person who
is yet on the later part of a spiral. The body of the young person
is still in the state of growth and apparently the person's
life should be hopeful of much having. Yet the behavior of
the person in general is directed almost uniformly towards
succumbing. When the thetan is exteriorized from the body, he
is found to be listless and certain of the approaching end. He
believes that he will be finished entirely at the end of this
spiral. He is not normally aware of the fact that he will have
another spiral after this; or, if he is, he thinks it will be a
shorter spiral -- which it will be; but this can be remedied by
postulate processing.

Related Experiences

There is a table of relationships which the auditor must have.
These are divided into three general columns. Any one of the
columns may be addressed first, but all three columns must be
addressed on any subject. The vertical levels of the columns can
be considered to be terms which are synonymous.

43

DIFFERENTIATION, ASSOCIATION AND

IDENTIFICATION

A special condition of start, change and stop manifests itself in
the very woof and warp of the MEST universe and can be plotted
on the tone-scale.

Differentiation is at the top of the tone-scale and is a condition
of the highest level of sanity and individuality. Association or
similarity is a condition which exists from the upper to the very
low range of the scale. And identification is at the bottom of the
scale.

The condition of the preclear can be established readily by his
ability to associate. He can, however, associate much too well.
Association is the essence of logic. Logic is the gradient scale of
relating facts one to another. As logic reaches the lower part of
the scale, this relationship becomes finer and finer until at last
identification is reached and thought could be expressed in terms
of A = A = A = A.

An excellent rendition of this -- although one not related
workably to experience and which did not have with it a truly
workable therapy -- is to be found in general semantics in the
book Science and Sanity by Alfred Korzybski. Insanity is the
inability to associate or differentiate properly. Experience itself
becomes ungovernable at the lowest depth of identity. The more
fixed the identity of the person may be, the less the experience
of which he is capable. Fame has at its end a completely fixed
identification which is timeless, but which unfortunately is
matter and which equally unfortunately, is inaction.

The widest possible differentiation exists at the moment of
creation. At this moment, one is committed to a cycle of action
which, as it continues, is less and less governable by himself and
is more and more governed by his environment. As his degree of
havingness increases, he is increasingly governed by what he has
had and what he has, and this determines

44

what he will have which, of course, is less freedom, less
individuality and more havingness.

Association expresses itself in the preclear in terms of the
way he thinks. When he reaches a low level of association, he
supposes himself to be thinking connectedly, but is actually
thinking in a completely disassociated fashion, for he identifies
facts with other facts which should not be identified. The actions
of a man about to die or in extreme fear are not sane.

Identification brings as its manifestation a solidity to all
things including thought. The auditor who processes a preclear
very low on the tone-scale who is neurotic or psychotic will readily
discover that thoughts are objects to this preclear and that time
itself is a matter of enormous concern to the preclear in many
cases. Thoughts and incidents and symbols are objects. This is
commonly seen in the society in the matter of over-concern about
words. A person who has sunk low enough on the tone-scale so
that words have become objects and must be handled as such,
and exist without any real relationship to ideas, will stop a
flow of ideas by an outrage of his word sense which, if he is
low on the tone-scale, is easily outraged.

Differentiation, association and identification belong, rightly,
on the tone-scale, and can be processed as part of the scale
above. But they are a close gauge of thought itself and of ideas.
An adequate tone-scale can be drawn for any individual using
only the above three words.

The auditor will very often find an individual who is intensely
logical and quite brilliant who is yet very difficult to process.
This person has agreed with the MEST universe to such a degree
that his association has assumed the proportions of near-solidity;
the facsimiles and ridges of this individual have become much
too solid and are consequently quite difficult to process. This
condition of solidity may refer only to the body of the preclear
which itself is old, and it may be found that the thetan -- the
preclear himself -- is quite vital and capable of wide
differentiation, but that this differentiation is being grossly
limited by the ridges and

45

facsimiles which surround the body. Such bodies have a heavy
appearance. It requires an enormously powerful thetan to handle
them in spite of the solidity of the ridges surrounding the body.

Mathematics could be said to be the abstract art of symbolizing
associations. Mathematics pretends to deal in equalities but
equalities themselves do not exist in the MEST universe, and
can exist only conceptually in any universe. Mathematics are a
general method of bringing to the fore associations which might
not be perceived readily without their use. The human mind is a
servo-mechanism to all mathematics. Mathematics can abstractly
form by their mechanics coincidences and differences outside the
field of experience in any universe and are enormously useful.
They can best be used when considered to be a shorthand of
experience and in the light that they can symbolize what
is beyond actuality. The essence of mathematics lies in
differentiation, association, identification, which is to say,
equalities must not be viewed as fixed in the real universe.
Absolutes are unobtainable in experience but may be symbolized
by mathematics.

Logic

Logic is a gradient scale of association of facts of greater
or lesser similarity made to resolve some problem of the past,
present or future, but mainly to resolve and predict the future.
Logic is the combination of factors into an answer. The mission
of the analytical mind when it thinks, is to observe and predict by
the observation of results. Easily the best way to do this is to be
the objects one is observing: thus, one can know their condition
completely. However, if one is not sufficiently up the scale to
be these objects it is necessary to assume what they are. This
assumption of what they are, the postulating of a symbol to
represent the objects and the combination of these symbols when
evaluated against past experience or "known law," bring about
logic.

46

The genesis of logic may be said to be an interchange of two
viewpoints, via other dimension points by which one of the
viewpoints holds the attention (one of the most valuable
commodities in the universe) of the other viewpoint by being
"logical" about why that viewpoint should continue to look. The
basis of logic is "it is bad over there" or "there is a hidden
influence which you cannot estimate but which we will try to
estimate," "therefore, you should continue to look towards me."
At its best, logic is rationalism, for all logic is based upon
the somewhat idiotic circumstance that a being that is immortal
is trying to survive. Survival is a condition susceptible to
non-survival. If one is "surviving," one is at the same moment
admitting that one can cease to survive, otherwise one would
never strive to survive. An immortal being striving to survive
presents immediately a paradox. An immortal being must be
persuaded that he can not survive or that he is not or might
become not, before he would pay any attention to logic. By logic,
he can then estimate the future. Probably the only reason he
would want to estimate the MEST universe, aside from
amusement, is to keep alive in it, or to maintain something in a
state of life in it. Logic and survival are intimate, but it must
be remembered that if one is worried about his own survival and
is striving for his own survival, he is striving for the survival
of an immortal being. Bodies are transient, but bodies are an
illusion. One could bring himself up the tone-scale to a point
where he could create an imperishable body with ease.

It is interesting that those people who are the most logical
are those people who in processing have to know before they are.
When they are sent somewhere, they want to know what is there
before they get there. There would be no point in going there
if they knew, and if everyone knew what was there before they
went there. Yet they will attempt to predict what is going to
happen there and what is there by knowing. This knowingness is
in terms of data and should not be confused with knowingness in
terms of actual beingness.

47

Logic is the use of data to produce knowingness; as such it is
very junior to knowing something by being it.

If you were to double-terminal an individual who is customarily
very logical, his body facing his body in terms of mock-up and
each of the terminals being very logical, a surprising violence
of interchange would take place. This is because logic is mainly
aberration. The work which lies before you is a discussion of
beingness and is the track of agreement which became evidently
the MEST universe. Therefore this work appears to be logical but
it appears also to be the central thread of logic. Apparently,
these conclusions were reached by logic; they were not, they were
reached by observation and by induction. That when tested they
proved themselves in terms of behavior demonstrates not that
they are logical, but that they are, at least to a large extent, a
discussion of beingness. Scientific logic and mathematical logic
have the frailty of trying to find out what is there before one
goes there. One cannot ever be, if he has to know a datum about the
beingness first. If one is afraid to be, one will become, of course,
logical. This is no effort to be abusive upon the subject of logic
or mathematics, it is only necessary at this point to indicate a
certain difference between what lies before you and a logical
arrangement of assumption.

Patterns of Energy

Energy forms into many patterns. The geometry of this
formation would make an intensely interesting study. The
patterns, however, are formed by postulates and have no other
existence.

The patterns of energy are viewed by the thetan in terms of
pressors, tractors, explosions, implosions, pressor ridges, tractor
ridges, pressor-tractor ridges, and balls and sheets.

The pressor is a beam which can be put out by a thetan which
acts as a stick and with which one can thrust oneself away or
thrust things away. The pressor beam can be lengthened and, in
lengthening, pushes away.

48

A tractor beam is put out by a thetan in order to pull things
toward him. The tractor beam is an energy flow which the thetan
shortens. If one placed a flashlight beam upon a wall and then,
by manipulating the beam, brought the wall closer to him by it,
he would have the action of a tractor beam. Tractor beams are
used to extract perceptions from a body by a thetan. Pressor
beams are used to direct action. Tractors and pressors commonly
exist together, with the tractor as a loop outside the pressor.
The two together stabilize one another.

An explosion is an outflow of energy usually violent but not
necessarily so, from a more or less common source point.

An implosion could be likened to the collapse of a field of
energy such as a sphere toward a common center point, making
an inflow. It can happen with the same violence as an explosion,
but does not necessarily do so.

A pressor ridge would be that ridge formed by two or more
pressor beams operating against each other in conflict.

A tractor ridge would be that ridge formed by two tractor beams
in conflict operating against each other.

A pressor-tractor ridge would be a combination of
pressor-tractor flows in sufficient collisions as to form a
solidification of energy.

A ridge is a solid body of energy caused by various flows and
dispersals which has a duration longer than the duration of flow.
Any piece of matter could be considered to be a ridge in its last
stage. Ridges, however, exist in suspension around a person and
are the foundation upon which facsimiles are built.

Two explosions operating against each other may form a ridge.

Two implosions operating away from each other may form a
ridge. An explosion and an implosion operating together -- or
many explosions and implosions operating together -- may form
a ridge.

These manifestations of energy are used in handling energy,
either in processing or in action.

49

Black and White

Black and white are the two extreme manifestations of
perception on the part of the preclear.

The thetan perceives best his own energy, but when he
perceives energy he desires to perceive it in white or in color.
Color is a breakdown of whiteness. Seeing whiteness or color,
the thetan is able to discern and differentiate between objects,
actions and spatial dimensions.

Energy can also manifest itself as blackness. A space
containing black energy would be black, but a black space may
be a space existing only without energy in it. This point of
identification is quite aberrative, and drills to permit the thetan
to handle blackness are mandatory in processing. If one remembers
one's fear of blackness when a child, and that evil is represented
as blackness, one will see the necessity for doing this. Blackness
is the unknown, for it may contain energy or it may be empty or
may be black energy.

Black energy flows are common on the tone-scale of
wavelengths. There is, for instance, what is known as the black
band of sound.

Some thetans will not perceive anything at all because they
conceive themselves to be surrounded by blackness and are not
sure whether the blackness has substance or is simply empty,
and they have a timidity to discover which. Such a case is
resolved by making the case drill with blackness until blackness
can be turned on and off and located in time and space. Although
this is briefly mentioned, it is a point of the largest importance.

Black and white running and black and white aesthetic running
were old processes which are not necessarily vital today to
processing. However, white energy runs easily, and where the
preclear has a black spot of energy somewhere on an organ or
somewhere in the environment of the body, the auditor asks him
to turn it white in order to let it flow away. It may not flow away
if it is black, either because it does not belong to the preclear
(in which case he would

50

see it as black) or because it is simply a spot of space with which
he is not familiar. By turning it white he is able to handle it for
he now knows it to be filled with his own energy.

One can run own determinism, other determinism, as concepts.
In this case the preclear runs the one as long as he gets an area
white and then runs the other to continue its whiteness. In such a
way all the energy in the area is drained away.

The most common manifestation of a ridge is to have one side
of a ridge white and the other side black. This is because the
preclear conceives one side of it to have on it his own energy and
the other side to have on it energy belonging to another. By
running the concept that it is his own and then running the
concept that it is another's, one runs both sides of a ridge, if
he is running ridges.

Although live energy is generally conceived to be white, it can
also be black. In running a preclear with an E-meter, it will be
discovered as long as a flow is white and as long as a flow is
running, that the needle will gradually rise. When a point of
blackness appears in the field, the needle will halt and either
will not rise again or will flick as the preclear gets a somatic.
This flick is characteristic of the somatic. The stuck needle is
characteristic of a black field. The auditor can sit watching a
needle and be able to tell the preclear whenever the preclear has
had a black area appear in the field. It is notable that somatics
only occur in the presence of a black patch. This means that
the unknown characteristic of the blackness is something the
preclear has been holding away from him so as not to have it or
that black wave energy is that energy used to impress pain. The
latter case is the more probable although a great deal of work
must be done upon this to establish beyond doubt the
manifestation of blackness.

A preclear who cannot see color in his facsimiles, cannot see it
because he is unable to use energy with which to perceive. He
will see things in terms of blackness or whiteness.

51

He may be able to get black and white or he may be able to get
only blackness. In the latter case he finds blackness in some way
profitable and desirable; and running the concept of havingness,
will have and have had blackness, and using drills in handling
blackness -- moving it from space to space in the environment
and moving it into yesterday and tomorrow -- will bring about
control of blackness on the part of the preclear.

Perception

The entire subject of perception is the subject of energy. As
the preclear goes down the tone-scale, he is less capable of
differentiation and is thus less and less capable of handling
energy and is more and more subject to energy, until at last he
will not emanate or handle energy. Even in the higher ranges of
this descent his perception begins to diminish.

The rehabilitation of perception is essentially the rehabilitation
of force. Force is rehabilitated by rehabilitating the control
of energy. This is done by ARC processing and in many other
ways. The chief way in which this is done is by establishing the
preclear's ability, by creative processing, to handle blackness.

An entire science called perceptics can easily be constructed
and is mentioned in the original thesis (1948).

The rehabilitation of sight in the blind, hearing in the deaf,
the ability to speak, anaesthesia of the body or body areas or the
genital organs, depends upon the rehabilitation of the preclear's
ability to handle energy. Creative processing, with particular
attention to handling blackness, is essential in this process.

Force

In the axioms, force is defined as random effort. Effort is
defined as directed force.

Force is essentially measured effort. It is quite common for
individuals to be so protesting at what the MEST universe is
doing that they abandon any and all force and, if asked to

52

reassume force or use it, suppose that one is asking them to
condone and assume punishment and destruction since these in
the MEST universe are done with heavy quantities of force.
There is, however, a gradient scale of force, for any energy
manifestation may be called force. Even matter contains force.

For the purposes of processing, in order to avoid upsetting
the preclear, who usually has very bad connotations with the word
force, the auditor stresses instead the "handling of energy."

The use of energy would encompass any activity having to do
with energy or matter.

Responsibility

The responsibility level of the preclear depends upon his
willingness or unwillingness to handle energy. That preclear
who is protesting against energy in any direction is abandoning
responsibility in greater or lesser degree.

One obtains randomity (see Axioms) by abandoning
responsibility in some sphere. He will then find himself in
conflict in that sphere.

The gradient scale of responsibility is as follows: at 40.0
responsibility manifests itself as will and can be so pervasive
that there is no randomity. This would be full responsibility.

At 4.0 responsibility would manifest itself in terms of action
where roughly half one's environment or space had been selected
for randomity and for which one would take no responsibility. At
20.0 responsibility would be 50 per cent of the total energy
existing.

At 4.0 we find homo sapiens in his narrow environment
disagreeing by using the emotion of enthusiasm with an existing
state of affairs and directing energy toward the righting of that
state of affairs. Even so, responsibility is low at

53

this level.

At 2.0 blame enters the tone-scale as a major factor. This is
the level of the tone-scale where fault is envisioned for the first
time. Above this level there is sufficient breadth of understanding
to see that interdependencies and randomities can exist without
fault and blame. At 2.0, with the emotion of antagonism, an
individual is assigning blame for lack of responsibility rather
than trying to enforce responsibility.

At 1.5 blaming is almost the sole activity of the individual, and,
while taking no real responsibility himself, yet he blames all on
his environment and does so with violence.

At 1.1 one pretends to take some responsibility in order to
demonstrate that others are at fault but one has no real
responsibility.

At 0.9 or around the level of fear, one does not think in terms of
responsibility but is willing to accept all blame in an effort to
escape all punishment.

At 0.75, grief, the individual blames himself, and accepts the
fault for what has occurred.

At 0.375, apathy, there is no question of either blame or
responsibility. At this level one has become MEST.

On the tone-scale in Science of Survival one will find what
might be expected to happen to materiel and communication and
persons in the vicinity of those below 2.0 on the tone-scale. This
stems normally from responsibility, or rather, its lack.

The keynote of responsibility is the willingness to handle
energy. The rehabilitation of the thetan in the handling of energy
brings about a rise in responsibility. If a person is low on the
tone-scale and still exhibits responsibility, then his energy
activity initially must be enormous for any segment of
responsibility to exist low on the scale.

The processing of responsibility is one of the most vital
processes. If one processes responsibility itself, he can expect
sooner or later a theta clear. He would process it by brackets.

54

There is a condition known as the "glee of insanity." This is
essentially a specialized case of irresponsibility. A thetan who
cannot be killed and yet can be punished, has only one answer to
those punishing him, and that is to demonstrate to them that he is
no longer capable of force or action and is no longer responsible.
He therefore states that he is insane, and acts insane and
demonstrates that he cannot possibly harm them as he lacks any
further rationality. This is the root and basis of insanity.
Insanity is the only escape possible besides death.

Death has the value of convincing others that one can no longer
be punished or feel. As long as one has a body, which can die,
there is a limit to the amount he can be hurt. When there is no
body, and there is no limit to the amount he can be hurt, his only
answer is this plea of complete irresponsibility which is the "glee
of insanity." This is found as an actual energy manifestation in
the vicinity of sanitoria and can be felt as an emanation from the
insane.

If the preclear is unable to conceive of "being happy about
being insane" (which he usually cannot), get him to get the
feeling of anticipation for a vacation. This is irresponsibility in
one sense and in actuality, when deepened, becomes the "glee of
insanity."

Happiness is the overcoming of not insurmountable obstacles
toward the known goal of havingness. Stepping away from this
track, feeling that one's work is too hard, these are forsakings
of responsibility. A common method employed by low-toned people
to reduce the power and ability of an individual and so place him
under control is to convince him that he is tired and overworked.
If they can so convince him, they can then get him to take
a vacation. An examination of an individual who has been
subjected to this will show that he was happiest when he was
working and that before he "needed a vacation" many people
worked on him to convince him that he should not work so hard,
and thus turned what was actually play to him into work. Society
almost demands that a man consider whatever he is

55

doing as work and demands that he consider work as an unhappy
thing. In looking around the society at those who gain easily, one
finds only people who take a great deal of joy in working and
who never think in terms of a vacation.

To run the bracket on responsibility, one would run the desire
on the part of the preclear to be responsible, his desire not to
be responsible, times when he has been forced to be responsible,
times when he has been forced not to be responsible, times when
he has been restrained from being responsible, times when he
has been restrained from being not-responsible, times when he
has been sympathized with because of his responsibilities and
then all this as a bracket, the preclear doing it to others and
others doing it to others. This run round and round as brackets
produces marked results.

The joy of responsibility and the joy of irresponsibility should
also be run in terms of brackets.

This becomes most effective when run in terms of
responsibilities of having, the irresponsibilities of having, the
responsibilities and irresponsibilities of having had, and of will
have.

Before this has been run very long on some individuals, the glee
of insanity will manifest itself and it must be very thoroughly run
out. It is often a hectic, uncontrolled laughter. This should not
be confused with line-charge laughter to which it is a cousin; a
preclear who starts laughing over the serious things of his past
is breaking locks, and can be made to laugh in this fashion for
many hours if the chain reaction is started. The laughter which
accompanies the "glee of insanity" has no mirth in it whatever.

Peculiar to this is what might be called the attitude of MEST.
MEST is not responsible for anything. That preclear who has as
his goal complete irresponsibility has also as his goal being
complete MEST.

MEST has no space of its own, it causes no action except when
acted upon, and it owns nothing but is itself owned.

56

Slaves are made by giving them freedom from responsibility.

The thetan high on the scale can make space or own space, has
wide choices of action, and can create, change or destroy
anything he wishes.

The Chart of Attitudes

In order to do rising-scale processing (as covered later), the
auditor should know very well his Chart of Attitudes and the
reasons underlying each column.

Survives Owns All Right Fully responsible

Dead Owns nothing Wrong No responsibility

Everyone Truth Always Motion source

Nobody Hallucination Never Stopped

Faith I am I know Cause

Distrust I am not I know not Full effect

Win Start Difference Being

Lose Stop Identification Had


This chart on the upper line in each of the above represents
from 27.0 to 40.0. The lower line under each one represents 0.0.

Each one of these is a gradient scale with many intermediate
points. In rising-scale running, one seeks the attitude of the
preclear nearest to the lowest end of this scale and asks him to do
a rising-scale to see how high he can change his postulate toward
the upper end of the scale.

The last line is, of course, a repeat without the intermediate
position of the earlier interdependencies of experience.

Survival

One of the first principles in the MEST universe, and that
principle which, when discovered. resolved the problems of the
mind, is the lowest common denominator of all MEST

57

universe existence; the goal of life in the MEST universe is
survival and only survival.

Survival equates behavior in homo sapiens or in any life form.
It also covers the wide field of ethics. The principle of survival
was never intended to embrace theta itself for this has, of course,
immortality and does not even necessarily move in MEST time.

Survival is nothing if not dependent upon havingness, action
and beingness. It is most ordinarily viewed as the attempt in a
life form to persist in a state of existence as long as possible.

Right -- Wrong

Rightness is conceived to be survival. Any action which assists
survival along the maximal number of dynamics is considered
to be a right action. Any action which is destructive along
the maximal number of dynamics is considered to be wrong.
Theoretically, how right can one be? Immortal! How wrong can
one be? Dead!

After a certain point on the tone-scale is reached by the
preclear, he will tend instinctively to seek out and do right
actions, but ordinarily homo sapiens is thoroughly engrossed in
being wrong. Social politeness, with its violation of the Code of
Honor, is quite non-survival. It might also be said, How wrong
can one be? Human!

The accident prone and no-responsibility case in general is so
intent on being wrong that he is incapable of conceiving right.

All jurisprudence is built upon the principle that sanity is the
ability to differentiate right from wrong. Jurisprudence does
not, however, give a definition of either rightness or wrongness.
Thus, for the first time with this principle, rules of evidence
and other matters in law can be established with some accuracy.

Absolute rightness, like absolute wrongness, is unobtainable.
Rightness and wrongness are alike relative states.

58

Responsibility

(See text above.)

Ownership

In view of the fact that time can be conceived to be havingness
and in view of the fact that time itself is one of the most puzzling
concepts which homo sapiens has ever sought to master, the
whole question of ownership is subject to grave error,
particularly on the part of homo sapiens.

Discussions in the above text demonstrate that individuality
depends upon high-tone level and freedom, whereas identity, as
such, would be at a complete level of reduction, a condition
analogous to MEST.

It has long been recognized that "a rich man may as well try
to get into Heaven as a camel through the eye of a needle." The
auditor will suddenly discover this truth when he tries to process
many rich and successful men. These have carried ownership to
such an extent that they are themselves thoroughly encased in
energy which is solidifying into MEST itself. Instead of having
things, they themselves are had by things. Their freedom in
motion is enormously reduced, although they have tricked
themselves into believing that possession will increase that
freedom.

The auditor will find his preclear upset nowhere on the
tone-scale as he will on the subject of ownership. A childhood,
for instance, is intensely upset by the subject of ownership since
the child is given to understand that he owns certain things and
is then commanded in every action he takes with those items. A
child cannot have possession, free and clear, of anything in the
average family. He is given shoes and is told to take care of
them and is punished if he does not take care of them although
he apparently owns them. He is given toys and is harassed
whenever he abuses them. He finally becomes convinced that he
owns nothing and yet he is in a state of anxiety about owning
things. Therefore he will try

59

to possess many things and will completely overestimate or
underestimate the value of what he has. The auditing of
childhood ownership is a fruitful field for the auditor.

That preclear who is upset on the subject of time, even faintly,
is, and has been, enormously upset on the subject of ownership,
since havingness and its manifestations are themselves the
MEST universe trick of giving us an illusion of time.

Everyone -- Nobody

(See material above on Identity versus Individuality.)

It may be confusing to the preclear that being everybody can be
conceived at both ends of the tone-scale. The difference is that
at the bottom end of the scale, the preclear is making the mistake
of considering the "somebodies" around him as MEST. He can be
their MEST identities. At the top of the scale, while still
retaining his own identity, he can be anyone's identity but this
is on a theta level and is disassociated from MEST. That preclear
who goes around believing he is other people is usually at the
bottom end of the tone scale and has confused his own body with
the bodies he sees because he does not have a proper view of his
own body and so can easily mistake it for the bodies of others.

When an individual is low on the tone-scale, he easily does a
life continuum for others because he himself is so encased in
MEST and so poorly recognizes his own identity that he can
conceive himself to be anyone without knowing what he has
done.

The question of valences and life continuums is difficult to
resolve in direct ratio that the preclear conceives himself to be
MEST.

MEST, lacking the ability to create space and to produce
directive action is, of course, nobody. When a man is convinced
he is a nobody he has been convinced at the same time that he is
MEST.

60

Always -- Never

We have already seen that objects give us the illusion of time.
The ability to create objects is interchangeable with the ability
to have an actual forever.

There would be an illusory forever which would be dependent
upon the duration of an object and its apparent solidity. One
might also say that the MEST universe seeks to own one by
pretending that immortality is something difficult to buy and is
only purchased by achieving an identity or being an object. The
ultimate in this is, of course, being a part of the MEST universe.
One might say jocularly that every planet in the MEST universe
was once one or more people. A considerable reaction can be got
from a preclear by making him conceive a feeling of devotion
toward the "older" gods who were here and who built this
universe and who have left it to him. Deeply religious feelings
are very often based upon this idea. Some astonishing reactions
can occur in a preclear when running this concept.

The real way to be assured of a great deal of time is to be able,
of course, to create time, and this would be to a thetan the true
concept of always. Time is created, at least in this universe, by
creating energy and objects, and by being able to make the
universe agree with oneself, not by having the universe
continually making one agree with it.

Motion Source -- Stopped

The ability to cause motion is dependent, whether the individual
realizes it or not, upon the ability to conceive space. Creation of
space is the first requisite for the creation of motion.

When one can no longer create space and cannot conceive any
space to be his own, he can be considered to be stopped.

That individual who is tremendously concerned with being stopped
is losing his ability to create space. When he is no longer able
to create space, he is himself MEST.

61

Somebody once said that it was a poor man who was not king
in some corner. One might add to this that one is not only poor
but he does not exist when he cannot create a corner. One could
obtain a very amusing viewpoint of this by watching the conduct
of a dog who, theta-motivated like every life form, is bravest
in his own front yard; and even a mastiff proceeds with some
caution when in the front yard of a Pekinese. This is a case of
ownership of space and, in some slight degree, the ability to
create a space to own.

One processes this by moving mock-ups into an auto created
space.

Truth -- Hallucination

The highest one can attain to truth is to attain to his own
illusions. The lowest one can descend from truth is a complete
acceptance of MEST universe reality, for this below a certain
level becomes scrambled and brings on the condition known as
hallucination. Hallucination is not self-generated; it comes about
only when a person is an effect to such an extent that he is
almost dead.

What is commonly believed to be truth is agreement upon natural
law. This would be the truth of the MEST universe which would be
the lowest common denominator of agreement upon any one subject.
Where the MEST universe is concerned, acceptance of such truths
is dangerous.

In Scientology one is studying the lowest common denominators
of agreement which bring about an acceptance of the MEST
universe and prohibit the creation of one's own universe, which
latter ability alone makes possible perception of the MEST
universe which is itself an agreed-upon illusion.

Truth in Scientology is the study of the lowest common
denominator of agreement, plus the establishment of the true
ability of the thetan. The true ability of the thetan is a truth
much higher than the truth of the MEST universe itself and, if
it has ever before been known, the difficulties of communicating
it have been such as to inhibit its promulgation.

62

It can be seen there is truth above what passes for "truth"
in the MEST universe. Scientific truths gained from deductive
observations of behavior of the MEST universe are themselves
manifestations of agreements on the part of beings -- thetans --
who are capable of much wider creation and agreement than that
represented in the MEST universe.

We have answered in Scientology a good portion of "what is
truth?"
Faith -- Distrust

There is no more over-rated quality in existence than faith.

The subject who, under the hands of a hypnotist operator,
conceives an enormous agreement with the hypnotist, is
experiencing faith as it is commonly understood. In this state the
subject can perceive anything which the hypnotist may direct.

In order to understand faith, one must be able to differentiate
between faith-in and faith. The difference between these two
conditions is a direction of flow which earlier we found to be
reality itself. Faith-in is an inflow of agreement and the placing
of one's beingness and doingness under the control of another,
and is, in other words, the sacrifice of one's universe. This is
the basic mechanism wherein, all along the whole track, thetans
have been recruited in some cause or mystery, and have
surrendered to this their own identity and ability. A little of
this goes a very long distance. It is in essence the basic trick
of hypnotism and by it one can convert and reduce the abilities
of a subject for any purpose.

Faith-in is an inflow and brings about the acceptance of reality
other than one's own. Faith itself would be without flow where
one was in a full state of beingness and, with this condition, one
could occasion faith itself to occur within his own universe, or
could occasion people to have faith in him.

63

The auditor will find one of the more aberrative phases of the
preclear in his failure to obtain from others faith in himself, and
his acquiescence to their demands on any dynamic that he have
faith in them.

Because it is entirely true that a being lacking in faith is low
in tone, the fact can be traded upon with great ease.

Distrust is not the lowest end of the scale, but begins to set
in as a neurotic or psychotic condition at about 1.5. Actually faith
interchanges with distrust in gradient levels all the way down the
tone-scale and they alternate one with the other as one goes
deeper and deeper into the MEST universe. The lowest level of
this scale is not distrust but complete faith-in, which is the
condition held by MEST which is supine to any sculptor.

This column might also be called the column of belief --
disbelief or the column of reality -- unreality. The auditor can
expect the preclear as he rises up the tone-scale to pass through
the various shades of distrust and the various shades of faith.
This is often quite upsetting to the preclear for he cannot
conceive himself to be rising in tone.

It is very noteworthy that a preclear, when low in tone at
the beginning, will pass inevitably through various strata of
revulsion for the MEST universe and then for his own universe.
The revulsion he can conceive for the MEST universe objects and
for being in the MEST universe can become unthinkably
distressing to him. When this condition has occurred, the auditor
can be reassured by the fact that the preclear is rising in scale
but has hit upon one of the levels of this column, and that a
higher level and a more comfortable one immediately succeeds as
processing is continued. This is simply a problem of reversing
directions of flow. If the auditor is running flows he will find
that an inflow is shortly succeeded by an out-flow and this out-flow
is shortly succeeded by another in-flow. These are in essence
agreements and disagreements alternating one after the other and
each one is slightly higher on the tone-scale than the last.

64

I Know -- I Know Not

Epistemology has long been the senior study of philosophy;
Scientology is itself the science of knowing how to know.

The study of knowledge is in essence, in the MEST universe, a
study of data. Data in the MEST universe are usually recorded in
facsimiles. Thus one can go in two directions toward knowledge.
The first is knowing what one is, and the second is knowing
what has happened to one in the MEST universe and searching
for identity in the MEST universe.

There is no more tragic track than the sordid ransacking of
facsimiles to discover TRUTH for all one discovers is what is
true for the MEST universe. This wandering and endless trail is
bleak with the bones of lost beingness. Earlier explorers have,
almost without exception, destroyed themselves in this search
for TRUTH in the MEST universe, for all they discovered was
further and further agreement and more and more facsimiles and
all they achieved as individuals were the traps and snake-pits of
implants on the whole track.

To stand at last near the heights of discovered beingness has
withered the sadness of standing on other men's bitter and, until
now, probably unrewarded search. It was necessary to ransack
the facsimiles, which are themselves one's sole inheritance
for travail in the MEST universe, to discover the common
denominators of facsimiles and to discover that they were
only facsimiles, how they were created and how experience was
impressed upon the individual. One might well have the feeling
of having narrowly escaped a terrible tragedy when he views the
thinness on which he stood to view this brink of oblivion, for
it was obviously never intended that anyone should recover from
participation or even spectatorship in or of the game called
MEST universe. Dante's inscription above the portals of Hell
might very well be written best on the gates of entrance into
this universe.

The common denominator of all difficulty an individual

65

has in the MEST universe may be summed up under the heading
"facsimiles." Originally, in his own universe, he used the
mechanism of energy creation to make objects. In the MEST
universe this ability reduces to the use of energy solely for
the recording of data about the MEST universe so that one can
agree with that data. And in this process lies death, not only
as a body periodically but as a thetan.

What has commonly been mistaken for knowledge has been
the MEST universe track of seeking agreement with the MEST
universe by discovering all possible data about what one should
do in order to agree with the MEST universe. The more data one
achieved, the more facsimiles he had; the more facsimiles he
had, the more MEST he was. It was necessary to win through
this trap in order to recognize, isolate and evaluate the common
denominators of facsimiles, and to discover that self-created
energy has been utilized to enforce agreement upon oneself so as
to enslave one's beingness and lead it to its final destruction.

No adventure in the MEST universe can exceed the adventure
of making orderly anatomy from the chaos of commingled
matter, energy and space which comprise the planets, galaxies
and island universes of this Black Beyond which awaited to
devour the universe self-constructed of any thetan or group of
thetans. The slaying of a roaring beast of fire held in it, in
olden times, less action and danger.

These lines are not written from any self-congratulatory
motive, for fame is a rock. But by these lines the auditor may
be impressed by the actuality of what he handles, and so that
he can appreciate his own gallantry in fronting an adversary
of such insentient brutality.

The road to knowledge led through the anatomy of the space
and energy masses called the MEST universe. The data did not
lie in the MEST universe. The ransacking of facsimiles for data
about one's identity, about one's "past history" in the MEST
universe, should be tolerated by the auditor only insofar as it
gives him materials for creative processing. He should never
directly begin the direct processing

66

of facsimiles, whether engrams or secondaries, save only in the
case of an assist. He needs only to know so much of a preclear's
beingness on the whole track to know what to mock up for the
preclear's running.

The difficulty the preclear is having is not so much the content
of various facsimiles but, on this high echelon of Scientology on
which we are now operating, the fact that he has facsimiles. The
path of better techniques is the path toward permitting the
preclear to step away from all his facsimiles.

The track to knowledge, then, has two directions. It is possible
at this time to take the better path. The essence of true knowledge
is the essence of existing so that one can create beingnesses and
data to know. All other data are junior to this.

A control operation of some magnitude was once perpetrated in
the late 18th century. It was stated with great authority that
anything worth knowing would always be beyond the bounds of
human experience. This sought, knowingly or unknowingly,
further to block the search for beingness. It should never be
considered by anyone or under any circumstances that anything
which can affect him could be beyond his ability to know the full
nature of what he is experiencing. If any lesson is contained in
Scientology, it is the lesson that the gates to all knowingness
are open.

One should have the knowledge of the composition of the
MEST universe as a fox might have use for the knowledge of a
trap. It is cruelty to make a theta clear without at the same time
educating him so as to permit him to avoid those pitfalls which
brought him where he is found -- in a MEST body on a planet
named Earth (Solar System, Galaxy 13, MEST Universe).

Top-scale knowing would be top-scale ability to create
beingness. The identity assigned to one by others and the data
contained in facsimiles are knowingness not worth having.

67

Cause -- Full Effect

Above the level of all else on the Chart of Attitudes is Cause.
Causation is the highest attainment which can be envisaged by
the thetan, but this is not necessarily the highest possible
attainment, and much higher levels may be envisionable by the
thetan when he has attained high on the level of causation.

To be Full Cause, one would have to be able to cause space
and many other manifestations. Everyone, to a greater or lesser
degree, attempts to be cause until he is at last the full effect.
The fullest effect in this universe is to be MEST itself.

One of the principles of causation is outlined in the cycle of
action, but it is not necessarily true that one can only cause a
cycle of this pattern or that one must cause cycles at all, for it
is excellent processing to mock-up with reverse cycles going from
death back to creation with objects which one has mocked up.

It is one of the "facts" of objects that space and energy
must have been caused before the object could exist in the MEST
universe. Thus any object has prior cause. For this reason when
anyone in the MEST universe begins to study in order to resolve
some of the riddles of the MEST universe, he falls into the trap
of supposing all cause to be prior and time itself to exist. This
would make one the later effect of everything he caused. In
other words, if he made a postulate, he would then immediately
afterwards become the effect of that postulate. Causes motivated
by "future" desire, enforcement and inhibition of havingness, do
not lie in the past but only in the condition of havingness in this
universe which states that any object must have had a "prior"
cause.

The preclear has become aberrated by the process of making an
effect out of him and taking from him the ability to be cause by
convincing him that it is better to be an effect.

Freud had one of the major aberrations in view when he
declared his libido theory in 1894 and decided therein that

68

sex was the only aberration. It is certainly a major one in homo
sapiens, for in sex one desires to be the cause of little or nothing
and desires to be the effect of pleasurable sensation.

Anything in the MEST universe which one desires, he desires
because it will have a pleasant effect on him. Thus he is
searching for sensation caused exterior to himself which will
make on him an effect. How much of an effect can he become?
MEST! The snare of pleasurable sensation leads one to accept
energy other than one's own. Desire for this energy or objects
then puts one in the condition of being an effect. When one is
surrounded by as many powerful possible energy sources as one
finds in the MEST universe, he cannot but become a low level
cause.

When a preclear is at a level on the tone-scale where he is
concerned with bad and good (above 8.0 both these are seen
broadly enough to understand that they are viewpoints) he is very
concerned if he thinks that he is or could be bad cause and is
desirous of being what he considers good cause. He judges these
things by moral codes and so bends his conduct as to make bad
cause antipathetic to himself and others. Thus he gives away
responsibility for bad cause and in that very action becomes the
effect of bad cause. When he has found himself to be what he
considers bad cause, he ceases to "trust" himself and begins to
blame himself and then others.

All angels have two faces. They are commonly represented in
mythology as having a black and white face. To be complete
cause, theoretically, a person would have to be willing to be bad
cause and good cause. Only in this wise, in the MEST universe,
could he escape the liability of becoming the effect of bad cause.

The criminal who has elected himself bad cause through having
found it impossible to trust himself (and a criminal career
always begins at the moment when the criminal-to-be loses his
self-respect; a career of prostitution cannot begin until
self-respect is lost; and self-respect is only lost when one
considers himself to be bad cause) can only escape becoming

69

an effect by fighting all good cause. The reformation or
reclamation of the criminal does not depend upon punishment,
which only seeks to make him more MEST than he is, nor yet
upon good cause, which he must fight, but upon the
reestablishment of the criminal's self-respect; for only after
this is he capable of being good cause.

An entire process evolves around "what would you cause on
(each one of the dynamics)?" An assessment of the preclear with
a meter should seek to establish where the preclear feels he would
be bad cause, for it is on this point that he will be found to
have lost his self-respect and where it will be discovered why he
cannot trust himself. Self-trust, self-respect and the ability to
be cause are conditions in the same order of magnitude and can be
interchangeably approached.

I Am -- I Am Not

On the Chart of Attitudes which accompanies the Handbook for
Preclears, it will be found at 22.0 "I am myself." The only true
identity is "myself." It is not a name, it is not a designation.
Orders, titles, ranks, praise and enduring fame alike do not bring
about the condition "I am" or an actual identity; they bring about
instead an identification, with all the liabilities of identification.
The finality of identification is 0.0 or lower on the tone-scale.

The concept of infinite mind is not new, but it has always been
assigned to another beingness than self. The preclear will be
found to be intensely aberrated who has sworn allegiance to
some infinite beingness and has then agreed that all space
belonged to that beingness, and that the rights of creation and
energy belonged to that beingness and did not belong to self.
This is a handy and, to the very badly aberrated, acceptable
method of denying any responsibility for anything. It is also the
shortest route toward I AM NOT. Infinite mind is individualistic.
All mankind does not depend upon or share a portion of the
infinite mind. On the contrary, the highest individualism
attainable is the individualism of the

70

infinite mind. It was beyond the power and grasp of the intellect
applying itself to the field of philosophy, to conceive a
multiplicity of infinite minds, and these commentators had
agreed sufficiently with the MEST universe to conceive that
the only space was the MEST universe space and they could not
understand that this was an illusion, and that the existence of
space does not depend upon existing space. Just as there can be
an "infinity" of ideas, so can there be an "infinity" of "infinities"
of space. Two beings theoretically, each with an infinite mind,
and each capable of the production of an infinity of space, could
yet co-produce sufficient space to communicate with each other.
This may be difficult to conceive until one has attained a level
of the tone-scale sufficient for an expansive viewing of his
potentialities, at which moment it becomes simplicity itself.

There is a psychosis which has as its manifestation the illusion
that one is God and the ruler of the universe. This psychosis
comes about from the effort of an individual who is well below
complete agreement with the MEST universe, to shift into the
valence of what he has already accepted to be the creator of the
universe. Instead of being himself, he has become unable even
to be a MEST body in a sane condition, has conceived God to be
MEST, and has then shifted into the valence of God. God, in this
case, will be found to be conceived to be a MEST object. As an
aside to this, below the level of complete agreement that the
MEST universe is the only reality, begins the state which could
be described by the statement, "I agree, I am still agreeing, and
yet you are still punishing me." The unfortunate fact about the
MEST universe is that it is MEST and is designed to punish and
cares nothing about agreement with it beyond the point that one
agrees with it, and has no spirit of fair play whereby punishment
ceases when one has acknowledged the winner. Recognition of
this brings on insanity in an effort to further back away from
responsibility and further escape from punishment. In the MEST
universe, this escape from punishment

71

is, of course, impossible. Thus there is a level below 0.0 for any
immortal being.

One of the first confusions on the part of the preclear which
the auditor will encounter is the fact that the preclear considers
himself to be in the state of I AM when he has a body and a
name. This is high-tone compared to the sub-zero state in which
the thetan quite often finds himself, but it is very far from
optimum. Here the preclear is confusing identity with his own
sense of beingness. His sense of beingness does not depend upon
and, indeed, is confused by a MEST identity such as a name
assigned to him and a body with which he can be recognized.

To a large degree the society of Earth requires, as part of its
structure, names and the means to identify. The state finds itself
very satisfied whenever it increases its ability to readily identify
its citizenry, and will resort to almost any pretext to collect the
fingerprints and dossier of one and all.

Identity is such a liability and is so thoroughly MEST that
individuality is really not possible in the presence of sharply
defined identity. Reaching down into the sub-zero tone-scale, the
thetan finds it expedient not only to mask his beingness, but to
hide his identity with great thoroughness even from himself. This
passion for non-identity is the spasm of clinging to the last
shreds of individuality which would otherwise be lost. Thetans
from some of the corps operating in space have thoroughly
agreed to be amongst themselves completely black, the better to
hide in the blackness of space. This blackness is found in the
occluded case in many instances.

The commonest plea on the part of the preclear is "Who am I?"
He feels that if he could only answer this, he would be happy. He
then ransacks his facsimiles for all of his past identities on
his many spirals and as these amount to hundreds of millions,
he finds no surcease. He succeeds only in damaging himself with
the many injuries contained in facsimiles through which he is
searching. He is identifying to the point where he is searching
not for the state of I AM

72

but for WHAT HAVE I BEEN LABELLED? The attainment of the state
of I AM depends upon one's ability to again be able to create
space, energy and objects in and for his own universe, by himself
or in co-operation with other thetans, and the rehabilitation of
the many additional abilities of the thetan for the creation of
energy is but one of a very large number. Thus the state of I AM
is reached through creative processing and postulate processing
rather than the processing of MEST universe facsimiles or endless
searching with an E-meter to discover what one has been.

There are gods above all other gods. Anything which has wide
acceptance and has been successful, wherever suns shine and
planets swing, is based upon some fundamental truth. There is
no argument here against the existence of a Supreme Being or
any devaluation intended. It is that amongst gods, there are many
false gods elected to power and position for the benefit and use
of those who would control and make into the basest slaves the
most sublime beings. As an ancient Greek said, when one has
examined the descriptions of God written by men, he finds in
that Being at best a thirst for self-aggrandizement and adulation
which would be disgusting in any man. Man has sought to make
his God a god of mud because the Early Greek and even more
distant peoples, made idols in the form of men by which they
thought to entrap the beingness of some local divinity who
troubled them; more modern man has fallen into the error of
making God into the body of a homo sapiens and posting him
somewhere on high with a craving for vengeance and a pettiness
in punishment matched only by the degradation of homo sapiens
himself.

There are gods above all other gods, and gods beyond the gods
of universes, but it were better, far better, to be a raving madman
in his cell than to be a thing with the ego, cruelty, and jealous
lust that base religions have set up to make men grovel down.

73

Win -- Lose

It is noteworthy that as the preclear ascends the tone-scale, his
desire to win increases. Those low on the tone-scale, even when
they think they are trying to win, will almost uniformly set up
their problems and solutions so that they will lose.

Homo sapiens has little converse with true competence. There is
an astonishing level of winningness above 4.0 where competence
becomes a joy like poetry.

Regret of competence ensues when one has employed competence
to injure another being drastically. The duellist begins with
joy in competence of sword-handling and before long, because of
the counter-emotion he receives from his practice of the art,
conceives disgust for competence. In a later life, he will carry
this into everything he does, so fearing that he will employ
competence to injure that he dares not practice competence in
the smallest things; and by failing to practice competence, so
introduces losingness, to the injury of himself and others. A
man who instinctively recoils from competence and perfection,
at the wheel of a car, will sometimes cause an accident rather
than avoid one if competence of a high order is required in the
avoidance.

To win one must wish to win; when one no longer desires to
win, one no longer desires to live.

(Note -- The remaining three columns of the chart of attitudes are
covered broadly in the earlier text.)

The Emotional Scale and Sub-Zero Tone-Scale

The emotional scale has been covered often and exhaustively
elsewhere. As has been discussed in this text, it is dependent
upon that characteristic of energy known as affinity which itself
is established by flows, dispersals and ridges.

Below zero on the tone-scale is applicable only to a thetan.

It has been quite commonly observed that there are two

74

positions for any individual on the tone-scale. This occurs
because there is a position for the composite of the thetan plus
his MEST body operating in a state of unknowingness that he is
not a MEST body, and behaving according to social patterns,
which give him some semblance of sanity. The other position on
the tone-scale is the position of the thetan himself, and it is
necessary for us to demonstrate a negative scale in order to find
the thetan at all.

For the thetan you will find the scale as follows:

40.0 Serenity of beingness

8.0 Exhilaration

4.0 Enthusiasm

3.0 Conservatism

2.5 Boredom

2.0 Antagonism

1.8 Pain

1.5 Anger

1.2 No-sympathy

1.0 Fear

0.9 Sympathy

0.8 Propitiation

0.5 Grief

0.375 Making amends

0.05 Apathy

0.0 Being a body

-0.2 Being other bodies

-1.0 Punishing other bodies

-1.3 Responsibility as blame

-1.5 Controlling bodies

-2.2 Protecting bodies

-3.0 Owning bodies

-3.5 Approval from bodies

-4.0 Needing bodies

-8.0 Hiding

THETAN SCALE RANGE

[Well below body death at "0" down to complete unbeingness
as a thetan]
THETAN PLUS BODY

[Social training and education sole guarantee of sane conduct]
This sub-zero tone-scale shows that the thetan is several bands
below knowingness as a body, and so he will be found in the
majority of cases. In our homo sapiens he will be discovered to
be below zero on the tone-scale. The zero-to-four plus tone-scale
was formulated on, and referred to, bodies and the activity of
thetans with bodies. In order,

75

then, to discover the state of mind of the thetan, one must
examine the sub-zero scale. He has some trained patterns as
a body which make it possible for him to know and to be. As
himself, he has lost all beingness, all pride, all memories
and all self-determined ability, but yet has an automatic
response-mechanism in himself which continues furnishing his
energy.

EACH ONE OF THE ABOVE POINTS ON THE SCALE IS RUN AS POSITIVE
AND NEGATIVE. Example: The beautiful sadness of needing bodies.
The beautiful sadness of NOT needing bodies. The beauty of
being responsible for bodies, the beauty of NOT being responsible
for bodies. Each one is run as itself and then as the reverse
with the addition of NOT.

The sub-zero to 40.0 scale is the range of the thetan. A thetan
is lower than body death, since it survives body death. It is
in a state of knowingness below 0.375 only when it is identifying
itself as a body and IS, to its own thinking, the body. The
BODY-PLUS-THETAN scale is from 0.0 to 4.0, and the position
on this scale is established by the social environment and
education of the composite being and is a stimulus-response
scale. The preclear is initially above this 0.375 on the
BODY-PLUS-THETAN range. Then, on auditing, he commonly drops
from the FALSE TONE of the BODY-PLUS-THETAN scale and into the
true tone of the thetan.

This is actually the only self-determined tone present -- the
actual tone of the thetan. From this sub-zero he quickly rises up
scale through the entire range as a thetan and generally settles
at 20.0 and in command of the body and situations. The course of
auditing then takes the preclear, quite automatically, down from
the FALSE TONE of the BODY-PLUS-THETAN scale to the actual tone
of the thetan. Then the tone of the thetan rises back up the
scale level by level.

It is not uncommon to find the preclear (who IS the thetan)
quite raving mad under the false "veneer" of social and

76

educational stimulus-response training and to discover
that the preclear, while behaving quite normally in the
BODY-PLUS-THETAN state, becomes irrational in the course
of auditing. BUT DESPITE THIS, the preclear is actually being
far more sane and rational than ever before and the moment
he discovers himself as himself, as THE source of energy and
personality and beingness of a body, he becomes physically and
mentally better. Thus the auditor must not be dismayed at the
course of tone, but should simply persevere until he has the
thetan up into rational range. A raving mad thetan is far more
sane than a normal human being. But then, as you audit, observe
it for yourself.

The Dichotomies

While the auditor can do much solely by reducing facsimiles, he
soon will find that his preclears are not always able to erase
facsimiles easily. He will find occasionally that he often has
a difficult time when a particularly heavy facsimile is in
restimulation and, do what he will, the auditor may find his
preclear's tone remains unchanged and that the preclear's
attitudes have not evolved to a better high.

We now come to "The Governor" mentioned in a lecture in the
autumn of 1951. The speed of a preclear is the speed of his
production of energy.

The most important step in establishing a preclear's
self-determinism, the main goal of the auditor, is the
rehabilitation of the preclear's ability to produce energy.

A being is, apparently, an energy production source. How does
he produce live energy without mechanical means, cellular
activity, or food?

The basic principle of energy production by a being has been
copied in electronics. It is very simple. A difference of potential
of two areas can establish an energy flow of themselves. Carbon
batteries, electric generators, and other producers of electrical
flows act on the principle that a
77

difference of energy potential in two or more areas can cause an
electrical impulse to flow between or amongst them.

The preclear is static and kinetic, meaning he is no-motion and
motion. These, interplaying, produce electrical flow.

A preclear as a static can hold two or more energy flows of
different wavelengths in proximity and between them obtain a
flow.

A preclear can hold a difference of flow between two waves and
a static so long (and arduously) that the effect of a discharging
condenser can be obtained. This can "explode" a facsimile.

The preclear flows electrical currents of command at the body.
These hit pre-established ridges (areas of dense waves) and
cause the body to perceive or act. The preclear takes perception
from the body with tractor beams. He holds the body still or
braces himself against it by wrapping a tractor (pulling) beam
around it while he places a pressor (pushing) beam at his back to
command himself into action. (You can almost break a preclear's
spine by asking him to contract his own tractor around his body
and yet withhold the pressor against his spine.)

All an auditor really needs to know about this is the elementary
method of using a difference of potential. That creates energy.

The only thing wrong with a preclear with an aged MEST body
is that he has too many facsimiles of his tractors and pressors
handling his own MEST body and the rickety state of the body
feeds back "slowness" so that he thinks his energy is low -- and
until worked with some method such as this, facsimiles do not
reduce.

Any difference of potential played one against the other creates
energy. Aesthetic waves against a static produce energy.
Aesthetic waves against analytical waves produce energy.
Analytical waves against emotional waves produce energy.
Emotional waves against effort waves produce energy. Effort
against matter produces energy.

78

The last is the method used on Earth in generating electrical
current for power. The others are equally valid and produce even
higher flows. This is a gradient scale of beingness, from the
zero-infinity of theta to the solidity of matter.

The differences of potential most useful are easy to run.

This is, actually, alternating current running. There can be DC
running or chain fission running but these are very experimental
at this writing.

AC is created by the static holding first one, then the other, of
a dichotomy of two differences of potential. A flow is run in one
direction with one of the pair, then in the other direction with the
other.

The dichotomies are:

1. Survive 12. Faith
Succumb Distrust

2. Affinity 13. Imagine
No affinity Truth

3. Communication 14. Believe
No communication Not believe

4. Agree 15. Always
Disagree Never

5. Start 16. Future
Stop Past

6. Be 17. Everyone
Be not Nobody

7. Know 18. Owns all
Know not Owns nothing

8. Cause 19. Responsible
Effect Not responsible

9. Change 20. Right
No change Wrong

10. Win 21. Stay
Lose Escape

11. I am 22. Beauty
I am not Ugliness

79

23. Reason 27. Sane
Emotion Insane

24. Emotion 28. No sympathy
Effort Sympathy

25. Effort 29. Sympathy
Apathy Propitiation

26. Acceptance And the state of Static,
Rejection a motionlessness
sometimes necessary to run.

How are these used?

One asks the preclear to flow agreement, then disagreement. He
flows a feeling, a thought (NEVER the phrase!) of "agreement"
out or in, in the direction he chooses relative to himself. He lets
this flow until it turns smoky grey or white, then black. Then he
changes the direction of flow and gets the thought or feeling of
"disagreement". He runs this until it turns grey or white,
then black. When this has turned black or dark, he again runs
"agreement" in its direction until he gets grey or white, then
again black. Now he reverses the flow and flows the thought
"disagreement" until he gets grey or white, then blackness. And
so on and on.

It will be noted that at first it may take some little time for
a flow to run from black through white to black. As the preclear
continues to run, after minutes or many hours, he begins to run
faster, then faster and faster, until at last he can keep a flow
blazing and crackling.

A method of aberrating beings was to give them white and
black energy sources in their vicinity. These show up on a very
low tone occluded case as blazing white and shining white. That
is an electronic incident, not his own energy flow. These run
blazing white in one direction for minutes or hours before they
go black. They then run the other way, blazing white, almost as
long.

WHEN BLACK PREDOMINATES IN SUCH INCIDENTS THEY DO NOT DIMINISH
OR REDUCE. ASK THE PRECLEAR IN SUCH A CASE TO DO

80

WHAT HE "HAS TO DO" TO GET THE INCIDENT ALL WHITE.

As the preclear runs, he finds the speed of the change of flow
changes, more and more rapidly until it runs like a vibration.
This vibration, theoretically, can increase to a strong current
which becomes so great it is well to ground your preclear by
using an E-meter or letting him hold a wire in each hand which
is connected to a bare water pipe or radiator. Otherwise, his
MEST body may be damaged by the flow.

Run a dichotomy only against its mate. Run in alternating
directions until the flow turns black.

Don't run a black "flow." It doesn't flow or run out.

Methods of Running

There are many methods of running facsimiles and of handling
ridges and flows. These have been covered in other publications;
all of them have validity and can advance cases.

In the present publication there are only two processes which
are stressed and these processes are superior to others published
prior to December 1st, 1952. A great many tests have established
the fact that two processes, both of them simple, produce far
better results than any of the others.

The title "Scientology 8-8008" means the attainment of infinity
by the reduction of the MEST universe's apparent infinity to zero
and the increase of the zero of one's own universe to an infinity of
one's own universe. This road is attained by postulate processing
and creative processing.

To run any incident or use any process it is necessary for the
auditor to have a very sound idea of what he is doing, and to this
end it is recommended that he know and be able to use the
following:

Processing

The Code

The Theta Entity

81

The Entities

Running Engrams

Running Secondaries

Running Locks

Concepts and Feelings

Running Ridges (Circuits)

Running Live Flow

Freeing the Thetan by Concept and Feeling

Freeing the Thetan by Present and Future

Randomity

Freeing by Dichotomies

Freeing by Tone Scale

Freeing the Thetan by Orientation

Freeing the Thetan by Positioning and Exhaustion of Flows

Postulate Processing

Actually energy is produced by the thetan simply by postulating
that it will be in existence. What he says will be so, becomes so
for him; if he becomes extremely powerful, it becomes so for
others. This condition has been misused by most thetans who,
often in the past, have been afraid of making postulates that will
come true. They believe that if they say a thing will happen, it
will then happen -- to such an extent that they now revulse
against stating anything will happen.

Another aberrative condition with regard to postulates is that
for the sake of randomity, the thetan at some time or another
has set up the postulate that every time he makes a postulate a
reverse postulate will occur which he will not know about, in
such a way that he can "play chess with himself" without
spoiling the game by knowing what his left hand is doing when
his right makes the move.

It is not true that postulates have to be located all through the
facsimiles and worn out by repetition. It is just as easy to make
new postulates; but first one must recover from the

82

depths to which his postulates have taken him. The most
dangerous postulates are those postulates where one decided to
agree with something which would become aberrative.

You can see by examining any facsimile in the preclear related
to an accident that the most aberrative things in that facsimile
are what the preclear himself decided.

Postulates are accompanied by evaluations and conclusions. It
is often possible to "loosen" a postulate by discovering to the
preclear why he made it, or what data he was using at the time.

As a preclear becomes very aberrated and believes himself to be
more and more MEST, his postulates become as unwieldy to use
as actual objects, and he finds them as difficult to change as
objects.

When doing creative processing and moving objects and energy
in created space and time, the preclear is doing this by making
postulates. It comes as a shock to some preclears that they are
handling time by shifting space. One handles time by simply
saying that he had a thing and now he does not have it, or that
he will have or will view a thing in the future. One does not
shift time by shifting space, nor does one continue to look at
something he has put into the past. He says it is in the past and
so it becomes in the past.

When the thetan is unable to handle postulates about time, the
auditor should ask him about some MEST universe incident such
as breakfast, and then enquire how he remembered that he had
breakfast, and if he will have something to eat on the morrow,
and then how he knows he will have something to eat on the
morrow. He does not look at his breakfast to find out if he had
breakfast, he knows that he ate breakfast; and he does not go into
tomorrow to find out if he will probably eat on the morrow, he
knows -- or, at least, believes it possible -- that he will eat on
the morrow. Moving time, as in any other postulate, is knowingness
not viewingness. An object goes into the past in the same space
as it was in, in the present; and in the future may be in the same
space as it was in in the past. The space does not change

83

the condition of havingness changes, and one estimates this by
some degree of knowingness.

The entire subject of postulates is the subject of certainty
and self-belief. That preclear who has a low self-belief finds it
difficult first, to make a postulate which he will believe and
second, to undo one he has made. Creative processing and
postulate processing alike remedy this.

Rising-scale processing is another way of doing postulate
processing. One takes any point or column of the Chart of
Attitudes as given in this text, which the preclear can reach,
and asks the preclear then to shift his postulate upwards toward
a higher level.

In order to do this the auditor says, "Now, on the subject of
rightness and wrongness, how wrong do you think you generally
are?" The preclear tells him. The auditor says, "How high can
you shift this attitude toward believing yourself right?" The
preclear shifts the attitude as high as he can. The auditor takes
this as the next level from which he will work upward until he
attains as nearly as possible a postulate which will "hold" to
the effect that the preclear believes himself right. Rising-scale
processing should not be confused with the processing of flows.
One can process all these columns in terms of flows. Rising-scale
processing is simply a method of shifting postulates upward
toward optimum from where the preclear believes he is on the
chart. Rising-scale processing is essentially a process directed
toward increasing belief in self by using all the "buttons" on
the Chart of Attitudes.

The preclear is generally found to be quite uncertain about his
postulates. He does not know whether or not what he says will
take effect or, if he says it and if it takes effect, if it will
not rebound upon him. He becomes afraid to make postulates for fear
he will make some postulate destructive to himself or others and
may even discover himself making postulates to convince
himself he should be ill.

One has to tell oneself what to be before one is. Recovery of this
ability is the essence of processing a thetan.

84

Postulate processing is a very vital process to apply to the
thetan: when he is exteriorized, he can change his postulates
rapidly. If he finds himself thinking slowly and doing other
things which are not optimum when he is outside, One can better
his situation and condition by asking him to change postulates.

Creative Processing

Standard Operating Procedure for theta clearing is the backbone
of processing in Scientology. It is easily followed but the auditor
should have an excellent command of all types of processing in
order to use it more successfully.

SOP is most easily done and most successfully by an auditor
who is a theta clear. Auditors who are not theta clear seldom
understand it, and a low-toned uncleared auditor who cannot
himself leave his body very often acts to pin a preclear inside
his body. It is noteworthy that many auditors have been unable to
obtain successes with theta clearing before they themselves have
been cleared, but immediately after the auditor was cleared, he
was successful with each successive case without exception. The
fear of some thetans from various causes of leaving the body
causes the auditor -- who is the thetan -- to make other thetans
stay in bodies, and it is actually quite dangerous to be audited
by auditors who are not theta clears. The process is not dangerous;
uncleared auditors are.

Standard Operating Procedure, Issue 3

This process is done in steps. The auditor with EVERY
preclear makes no other judgment than to begin with Step I and,
failing to accomplish that immediately, to go to Step II;

85

if he fails to accomplish this immediately, he goes to Step III;
and so on. When he is able to accomplish a step he labels the
case as that step number, i.e., a III. He then begins working with
that step. After a few hours' work, he again starts at the top with
the preclear with Step I and progresses on through. Eventually
the preclear becomes a Step I.

STEP I -- POSITIVE EXTERIORIZING: Ask the preclear to be a
foot back of his head. If he does, make him go back further,
then up, then down, practising placement in space and time.
Then one asks him to see if there are any items in the body he
would like to repair and proceeds to let the preclear repair them
according to the preclear's own ideas as to how he should do it.
Then educate the preclear by making him create and destroy his
own illusions into finally getting a certainty of illusion and
from this a certainty of perceiving the real universe with all
perceptions. (Note. The most real universe is, of course, one's
own illusory universe and should be completely rehabilitated
before one attempts to perceive or handle or worry about the
MEST universe. Rehabilitated, sonic, visio, etc. of the MEST
universe are very clear and very certain. Clear perception in early
stages is not a test of being outside. The only test is whether the
preclear KNOWS he is outside.) Failing the first line of this step,
go to Step II.

STEP II -- BY ORIENTATION: Ask the preclear, still inside,
to locate the inside of his forehead. Ask him to put a pressor
beam against it and push himself out the back of his head.
Supplement this by asking him to reach out through the back of
his head and grab the wall with a pulling beam and pull himself
out. Ask him to steady himself outside and then, by means of
beams, to raise and lower himself while outside and to move to
various parts of the room while still outside. Use creative
processing. By orientation as a thetan, placing himself as a
thetan in time and space, he becomes sure of his whereabouts.
Have him find and cast off old lines which have their terminals
fixed to him. Have him find those lines

86

wherever they are and attach them to radiators and water taps as
the energy will drain out of him. (The II ordinarily has enough
lines to cause him to snap back in the head when he releases
beams.) Failing this, go to Step III.

STEP III -- SPACE PROCESSING: In that the MEST universe has
forced upon the thetan its spatial dimensions and directions,
the thetan is likely to become a point which is being subjected
to all the counter-efforts and counter-emotions of his environment,
for his entire concept of space is being determined by the MEST
universe. Have the thetan, still inside, find his feet in the
opposite direction from where the MEST body is located by the
MEST universe. Have him turn the feet around. Have him create
differences in his body and reverse various limbs and positions
according to his viewpoint, each one in disagreement with the
MEST universe, particularly as appertaining to gravity and other
influences. This sets up an ability to disagree with the MEST
universe in terms of space. Have him locate his eyes in the back
of his head, on the soles of his feet and in other places.
Have him assume other bodies, each time changing them slightly,
and putting them away. Then have him gather himself into his
normal MEST universe spatial areas and go to Step I.

STEP IV -- RIDGE RUNNING: Ask the preclear to give
himself a command to walk. Let him locate the white flow line
which results inside his head. When this line goes dark, have
him locate the tiny ridge inside the skull that stopped it. Have
him run the flow from this barrier (these barriers, are tiny ridges
and each has a thought with it such as "Can't walk" or "Too
bored to walk") back toward the spot where he told himself to
walk. It will run white for a moment, then go black. Have him
give himself the command to walk again and "watch" this flow
line. It may run through two or three tiny barriers and then stop.
Again have him run the "objection" to walking. Have him watch
this "objection" flow until it goes black. Then have him give
himself the command to walk again and so on and so on. He will
wind

87

up at some outside point. Now have him give himself the
command "Listen" and have him run this and its back flows on
"black and white" until he is exterior on the subject of
listen. Then use the command "Talk" similarly. Then the command
"Nod," then the command "Move," etc. Give "Look" last for it
may "blind" his perception of black and white. He may each time
get out to a distance in another quarter. If he can do all this,
start with Step I again. Failing this step, failing to "see"
black and white energy manifestations, go to Step V.

STEP V -- BLACK AND WHITE CONTROL PROCESSING: Give the preclear
a complete E-meter assessment, using the principles of what
he would create or destroy or would not create and would not
destroy. Use this data to make mock-ups. Then have the preclear
create and perceive black spots and then white spots, black
crosses and white crosses, and move these here and there
through the room or through his own space. Turn them on and
off, interchange them, put them in yesterday, put them in
tomorrow, make them get larger, make them get smaller; each
time doing as much as the preclear can do. Each time one asks
him to perceive one of his own created illusions in terms of
black and white spots or crosses, one attempts to coax him into
successful control of it. Audit very persuasively and lightly. This
preclear ordinarily is frightened of blackness because it either
can contain dangerous things or contains nothing, and he cannot
differentiate which. Thus he cannot control blackness and, in
being unable to control blackness, flounders in it. He also has
a more basic computation: that blackness is the only safe thing
in which to hide and, therefore, blackness is a thing to have.
Further, blackness "takes" things for him. This preclear may be
afraid of the police, may believe himself to have a hideous body,
thetawise, and has many other reasons why he cannot exteriorize.
Drills on creating and perceiving black and white should be
continued until he can handle each easily. The trouble with this
preclear and preclears lower than this is

88

that they have agreed too heavily with the MEST universe and
must be very cautious in confronting it, since in that direction
they conceive to lie a much more complete defeat even than that
from which they are now suffering. Audit him also very heavily
on Creative Processing.

Then go through steps again. If the preclear is immediately
perceived to have little or no reality on ANY incident, go to Step
VI.

STEP VI -- ARC STRAIGHT WIRE: Drill, by direct questioning,
on locks until the preclear can remember something really "real"
to him, something which he "really loved," something with which
he was in communication. Then drill him on creating illusions
until he is certain he has created one which really isn't
real, which he is certain HE put the emotion and perceptions
into. Then go through steps again. Failing Step VI after a
quick test, go to Step VII.

STEP VII -- PRESENT TIME BODY ORIENTATION: Have preclear
locate a part of his body and recognize it as such. Have him
locate furniture, fixtures, auditor in room. Have him locate
the town and country he is in. Get him to find something in
present time which is really real to him, with which he can
communicate. Work on this until he can do this. Then go to Step
VI. Then go to Step I.

General Processing

Anything which rehabilitates the self-determinism of a preclear,
whether education, change of environment, running facsimiles,
theta clearing or the creation of one's own universe, is valid
processing. Any one of these will raise the tone of the preclear
markedly. At the end of 80,000 hours of investigation of
beingness in the MEST universe, I have concluded that those
processes which make it possible for the preclear to disagree
with the MEST universe also make it possible for him to handle
the MEST universe, or to create his own or be part of a group
which creates a universe, as the case may be. Scientology 8-8008

89

is remarkable for its ability to better the beingness and action
potentials of the individual. It is, sadly enough, the only
technique which I have seen produce excellent and fast results
in the hands of trained auditors. Mainly the reason is that homo
sapiens has and will continue to use, any technique delivered
into his hands for the control and enslavement of others, for
homo sapiens is frightened. Even when an auditor was competent
with earlier techniques, it would often occur that his
preclear would return into his past environment and would
relapse. This occurred because others had a vested interest in the
preclear's continuation in a state of aberration; and others would
lose no moment in starting again to crush this preclear down the
tone-scale to a point where they conceived he was more easily
controlled. Mest is the most easily controlled item in the MEST
universe, and the closer a human being could be pressed toward
MEST, the easier, it was thought, to control him. That his value
and ethical sense deteriorated in direct ratio to the degree he
was depressed down the tone-scale, was overlooked by the homo
sapiens who had a passion for slavery. The primary benefit of
Scientology 8-8008 is that it works so swiftly even when
indifferently used that the persons in the environment of the
preclear are over-reached rapidly by the preclear and find
themselves subject to his control when they act to continue his
aberration. Further the auditor is seldom aware of the height his
preclear attains until the preclear has attained it. Processing
has always worked in the hands of a competent auditor; and it were
better for any technique, no matter how dangerous, to be known
to Man if it could benefit at least a few, for homo sapiens has no
psycho-therapy. In Dianetics he had his first thoroughly validated
psychotherapy and Dianetics worked and still works uniformly in
the hands of those skilled in its application. In Scientology in
general, and in theta clearing in particular, the upper limits of
homo sapiens as such have been transcended and it would not be
good semantics to call a theta clear a homo sapiens or even,
exactly speaking, a person, for he is a thetan with a body he

90

uses for purposes of action and communication, and his
viewpoint is quite altered. His general health is more or less
directly under his control, but there is no goal for the body as
a final goal in Scientology, for the body is a tool. The genetic
entity which built the human body really wanted to be served.
The complexities and ridges which he developed speak of a craving
for energy and self-service which could only be the basest
aberration, and, true enough, the genetic entity is aberrated
almost beyond belief, as any thetan discovers when he seeks
to clear the genetic entity. The body is quite alive and
self-motivated without the thetan, as the thetan soon discovers;
but it is so used to taking orders from successive lines of thetans
which themselves some day would probably become part of this
complex system of ridges, that its "mental activities" are quite
stupid. The thetan who has lived in this association and has
believed himself to be the body is early quite appalled at the
character of the genetic entity who is cowardly, a thing of
stimulus-response, without further will or goals than to grow a
body, and obsessed entirely with the idea of growing one. The
thetan can repair the body quite easily if he so chooses, but quite
often sees it as a pointless activity; for one's personality is
not even faintly dependent upon the body but is only debased by
association with one. When one has learned to control a body
from a distance, he is usually content to let it get along as best
it can, for the reduction of all counter-efforts of the genetic
entity would be a reduction of the entire body. The genetic entity
has his whole track and has had his own travails. In other parts of
space, not too incredibly, "dolls" are used by thetans -- things
which can be animated easily by theta energy and which are
disposable and which do not have the uncomfortable circumstance
of being themselves any more alive than any other MEST.

The MEST universe itself has a considerable cravingness in it.
It is composed of energy which was emanated in order to have,
and the energy still contains as its basic characteristic Have
and Not Have, and is itself, when contacted, found

91

to possess a craving which does not make the MEST alive but
which speaks of that which made the MEST. This cravingness is
an essential part of all matter. Certain metals contain the desire
to be had much more than others, and certain other metals contain
the craving not to be had. This is one way of looking at
positive and negative reactions. The body's being composed of
such energy makes it feel as though it is holding on to the
thetan. Nothing is really holding on to the thetan since he has
no substance which can be held. Even the genetic entity does not
hold on to the thetan, but probably considers him some sort of far
off commanding god -- if he thinks of the thetan at all.

Space has its own demanding quality and insists on its
dimensions being accepted by anything in the universe, for it
was erected and is erected on a command basis in the MEST
universe.

Processing must resolve this havingness on the part of matter,
and the commandingness on the part of space. To confront these
directly is, for most preclears, an impossibility, for it only
drives them further into an apathy of agreement with MEST. The
preclear has long contested with the MEST universe and has
continually sought to create his own universe only to find the
MEST universe declaring itself stronger each time and
compressing the illusion to nothing.

The war cry of the MEST universe is: "Must have gotten it
somewhere," and "It must have gone somewhere." It will not
tolerate the vaguest possibility that one created himself or
could destroy anything himself. The whole sub-zero scale is a
manifestation of one's efforts to combat this demandingness on
the part of the MEST universe. Hiding, protecting, owning, are
all mechanisms to answer the question, "Where did you get it?"
"What did you do with it?" The MEST universe, in this light, is
essentially a police universe, for it operates upon force and
intolerance and demands with pain that its laws be accepted.
In that its laws are based solely upon agreement, it is only
necessary to discover how one can disagree with them to abolish
what has been called "natural

92

law" for oneself. Upon the abolishment of this agreement
depends the health, progress and advancement of the thetan.
This universe is a major expanding trap of finite dimensions
and rather idiotic simplicity. If one were to leave the MEST
universe, one would solely create space of his own and maintain
enough knowledge of what could happen with regard to the MEST
universe to defeat its encroachment and its salesmen. No
universe, however cunningly constructed, is entirely proof
against this expanding trap. The MEST universe is a game
which has gone on too long and of which even the players are
tired. Earth could be considered to be at this time an egress
terminal.

It is noteworthy that one must not accept or know any of these
conditions to have these processes work. They act very swiftly
and uniformly on any homo sapiens and upon other beings. A
considerable number of the principles which have been discovered
in Scientology exist above the MEST universe. The MEST universe
itself might be considered to be the "inevitable average" of
illusion once it starts in a certain direction. We have in
natural law as applied to the MEST universe the sum of agreement
upon illusion. Tracing the principles of Scientology as they
apply specifically to the MEST universe, is the tracing of the
agreements which brought about the MEST universe. The axioms
of 1951 are, in the main, a tracing of this agreement. The
inevitability and "diabolical accuracy" of these predictions
of human behavior depend upon their being held in common by
Man, which they are. They extend as well to other beings below
the level of player in this universe and have applied to many sets
of players, while much of the data which has been recovered in
this investigation seems, to the narrow scope of homo sapiens,
quite wild, the wildness depends on the absence of investigation
in the past and can be compared only to the stupidity which
remained ignorant of them; for these matters were an unseen and
insidious causation underlying the grief of Earth, at best a
pawn in a minor game in a minor galaxy.

93

The Anatomy of Space

Before energy can exist in this universe, space must exist.
His inability to create space is one of the most aberrative
characteristics of the thetan whom we find in a MEST body. He
has become reduced to a point even in his own concept, and
perhaps even less than a point for he has no space of his own but
must depend upon bodies and other conditions to believe that he
has space.

It is of the utmost importance for the auditor to understand
space. Space can be considered to be a viewpoint of dimensions.
It does not matter how many dimensions there are or what
conditions are set up for these dimensions: the resulting
condition is known as "space." There are only three dimensions
in space in the MEST universe. Throughout all of its galaxies it
has only length, breadth and depth. Space warps and other things
of equal interest can exist in one's own universe, but they do
not exist as such, evidently, in the MEST universe.

The assignation of dimension is the essence of space, but even
before dimension can be assigned, one must have viewpoint. If
one is assigning dimension from his viewpoint, he is cause; if
dimension is being assigned to his viewpoint, he is effect. He
is cause or effect to the degree that he can assign dimension and
call it space.

The preclear has a viewpoint and is the center of that viewpoint.
Splitting his attention often finds him occupying several
viewpoints. He is capable of assuming many. Where he is aware
of being aware is, however, his central viewpoint; and, although
this may be communicated with or interlocked to some other
viewpoint which he could call his own -- even on some other
planet or here on earth -- he is yet as himself the center of
assignation of dimension where he is and as he is.

In many preclears this becomes so blurred that he does not
know whether he is in or out of the body. Here even the

94

center of viewpoint has been overridden by MEST assignation of
dimension.

An essential in agreement with any illusion is the acceptance
of the dimensions it assigns or that one may assign to it, Space
is no more complicated than this, but when a preclear has been
overridden by enforced assignation of dimension to an enormous
degree, his own viewpoint may be found to be scattered or
dispersed. It is this condition which finds the preclear unable
to tell whether he is in or out of his body; when this condition
exists he is in the state of being incapable of confronting the
MEST universe, even to the point of asserting the ownership of
a center of viewpoint.

The solution of this problem is simple, in principle, although
it may require many hours of auditing. Where the preclear has a
certainty of center of viewpoint he exteriorizes immediately and
can become a theta clear in a very few hours; when he has been
compressed by counter-efforts and emotions into an acceptance
of MEST dimension to the point where he cannot even be certain
of a center of viewpoint, it is necessary to recover this center
of viewpoint in order to recover a point from which space can be
assigned and, even more importantly to the auditor, where the
preclear can be exteriorized easily and in a knowing condition.

One of the first "tricks" in auditing is to get the preclear to
look from the center of his head at his environment and the room. He
very often sees it clearly and as it is and does, by this, adjust
his vision to see through his ridges. Even an occluded case can
sometimes do this, and can then be exteriorized rapidly. The next
"trick" is to find some segment of the environment which the
preclear can see and ask him what is in the areas where he can
see nothing or does not wish to see. He will say this or that may
be in these areas. The auditor then has him create those things or
change those things and shift those things which he is afraid may
be in those areas until he is no longer interested, at which time
he can envision the actual surroundings. By continuing this
"trick" of rehabilitation of potential occupation of space (for
a preclear

95

will not occupy space which he considers dangerous), the
preclear may be found to exteriorize suddenly and sometimes
with violence. In such a case he believes himself to be occupying
yet another space, hiding perhaps in the darkness of deep MEST
space, as well as in a body. Routine orientation and creative
processing remedies this.

By making the preclear alter the body he is occupying, making
mock-ups which he superimposes and changes around in disagreement
with the MEST universe -- upside down and right side up -- he
becomes better able to have a viewpoint from which he can create
space or from which he can at least handle MEST universe space.

The preclear who does not exteriorize readily is not sure he
is here at all and, indeed, he may be co-occupying other areas.
A study of the preclear with the E-meter, locating him in
other spaces and bringing him into the space where he is being
audited, can best be done with creative processing, not by
running facsimiles, for these only make him disperse even
further. This preclear often has difficulties with time and has
space confused with time. Time is not handled by moving space;
time is handled simply by having and not having. The MEST
universe insists that anything that disappears must have gone
somewhere; thus the preclear is saddled with the belief that
he must create space to put things in whenever time changes.
Having the preclear conceive time change in the space which he
occupies by refusing to let him go on looking at it in yesterday
or to see it in tomorrow, but simply making him know that it is
now in yesterday and the space is the same, does much to
rehabilitate his orientation.

Drills in which space is assigned are highly beneficial to
any preclear, and particularly so to those preclears who do not
exteriorize readily or who cannot easily find themselves when
they are out of their body. Simply have the preclear disagree
with dimensions round him and see them with purposeful, creative
distortion and he will at length focalize his viewpoint so that
he can handle space and know that he is the center. A being can
be knowingly in many places but being

96

scattered into many places unknowingly is the worst of conditions.

Creation and Destruction

Self-determinism seeks as its goal the attainment of the goal of
theta itself.

Theta has the capability of locating matter and energy in time
and space and of creating time and space.

Any action requires space and time, for space and time are
necessary to motion.

Motion can be defined as change of location in space, and any
change of location requires time.

Thus we have an interacting triangle, one corner of which could
be labelled space, another corner time, and the third energy.
Matter is not included in the triangle because matter is
apparently cohesion and adhesion of energy.

The cycle of a universe could be said to be the cycle of creation,
growth, conservation, decay and destruction. This is the cycle of
an entire universe or any part of that universe; it is also the
cycle of life forms.

This would compare to the three actions of energy which are
Start, Change and Stop, where creation is Start, growth is
enforced Change, conservation and decay are inhibited Change
and destruction is Stop.

The two extremes of the cycle -- creation and destruction or, in
the terms of motion, Start and Stop -- are interdependent and are
consecutive.

There could be no creation without destruction; as one must
eradicate the tenement before building the apartment house, so,
in the material universe, must destruction and creation be
intermingled. A good action could be said to be one which
accomplished the maximal construction with minimal destruction;
a bad action could be said to be one which accomplished the
minimal construction with maximal destruction.

That which is started and cannot be stopped and that which is
stopped without being permitted to run a course,

97

are alike actions bordering upon the psychotic. Unreasonableness
itself is defined by persistence in one or the other of these courses
of starting something which cannot be stopped (as in the case of
an A-bomb) or of stopping something before it has reached a
beneficial stage.

Unlimited creation without any destruction would be insane;
unlimited destruction without any creation would be similarly
insane.

In actuality, insanity can be grouped and classified, detected
and remedied by a study of creation and destruction.

An individual will not be responsible for that on which he will
not use force. The definition of responsibility is entirely within
this boundary. That person will not be responsible in that sphere
where he cannot tolerate force, and if one discovers in an
individual where he will not use force, he will find where that
individual will also refuse to be responsible.

An assessment of a case can be done by use of the accompanying
graph. We see here creation with an arrow pointing straight
downward and find there the word insane, and, under this, we
list the dynamics. Wherever along any of these dynamics the
individual cannot conceive himself to be able to create, on
that level he will be found aberrated to the degree that he
does not believe himself able to create. This might be thought
to introduce an imponderable but such is not the case, for the
individual is most aberrated on the first dynamic and, rightly or
wrongly, conceives that he could not create himself. This goes to
the extent, in homo sapiens, of believing that one cannot create
a body and, rightly or wrongly, one is then most aberrated on
the subject of his body.

Potentially, because of the character of theta itself, an
individual in an absolute and possibly unattainable state, should
be able to create a universe. Certainly it is true that every
man is his own universe and possesses within himself all the
capabilities of a universe.

To the extreme right of the graph we have the word

98

destroy and an arrow pointing downwards toward insanity and,
beneath this, the list of the dynamics. That individual who can
only destroy along any of these dynamics and cannot or will not
create could be said to be aberrated on that dynamic. He is
aberrated to the degree that he would destroy that dynamic.

Looking again at the column of creation, one finds the
individual aberrated anywhere along the dynamics in that
column where the individual will only create and will not
destroy.

In the destruction column, one finds the individual aberrated
on any dynamic in that column where he will not destroy.

In the middle ground of the graph, we find that a balance of
creation and destruction is sanity, and in the dynamics below it
we find the individual sane wherever he will create and destroy.

99

Use of this graph and these principles enable the auditor to
assess hitherto hidden compulsions and obsessions on the part of
the preclear. This is an auditing graph. If one looks at it another
way than that of an auditor, he finds there laid out what has
been occasionally posed as a philosophy of existence. Friedrich
Nietzsche, in his book "Thus Spake Zarathustra," presents as
a desirable code of conduct unlimited willingness to destroy.
Philosophically the graph has little or no workability. In order
to survive in any universe, conduct must be regulated by a sense
of ethics. Ethics are possible on a reasonable level only when
the individual is high on the tone-scale. In the absence of such
height, ethics are supplanted by morals, which can be defined as
an arbitrary code of conduct not necessarily related to reason.
Should one attempt to regulate his conduct on the basis of
unlimited creation or destruction, he would find it necessary to
act entirely without judgment to put his philosophy into effect.
It is noteworthy that the late Nazi regime can serve as a clinical
test of the workability of a scheme of things wherein unlimited
creation and destruction are held as an ideal. I heard a rumor
lately that Adolf Hitler was dead.

Be, Have and Do

The physicist has long been on a carousel with regard to the
component parts of the material universe.

He has had to define time in terms of space and energy, space in
terms of time and energy, and energy in terms of time and space,
and matter as a combination of all three. When three factors exist
at such an altitude in a science, there can be no further
clarification unless the material can be related to experience
of an equal magnitude.

The current definition in Scientology has this liability: if
self-determinism is the location of matter and energy in time
and space, and the creation, change and destruction of time and
space, then there is no comparable data by which to evaluate this
level. The physicist has found the inter

100

relationship of time, space and energy to be invaluable and has,
indeed, produced a civilization from this interrelationship. Just
as, with our definition of self-determinism, it is possible to
de-aberrate an individual and increase his potentialities in a
way never before suspected possible, and with a speed which
exceeds all past estimates even in the science of Scientology.

Because we are now working from a higher understanding than
time, space and energy, it is possible to compare these to
experience in such a way as to broaden their use and modify
their force or increase it. Control of time, space and energy
comes now well within our capabilities.

Space, time and energy in experience become Be, Have and Do,
the component parts of experience itself.

Space could be said to be BE. One can be in a space without
change and without time; one can also be, without action.

The essence of time is apparently possession. When possession
ceases, the record of time ceases. Without possession change
cannot be observed; in the presence of possession change can
be observed. Thus it is deduced that time and possession are
interdependent.

The past could be subdivided into Had, Should Have Had, Did
Not Have, and Got, Should Have Gotten, Did Not Get, and Gave,
Should Have Given, Did Not Give.

The present could be subdivided into Have, Should Have, Do
Not Have, and Giving, Should Be Giving, Not Giving, and
Receiving, Should Be Receiving, Not Receiving.

The future is subdivisible into Will Have, Should Have, Will
Not Have, and Getting, Will Be Getting, Will Not Be Getting,
and Will Receive, Will Not Receive.

In each of the above, past, present and future, the word would
apply for any individual or any part of the dynamics to all the
other dynamics.

The way one knows there was a past is by knowing the
conditions of the past. The most revelatory of these is the
facsimile which was taken in the past. However, without any
important possession in the present stemming forward from

101

the past, the past becomes unimportant; or, because possession
ceased, the past is obliterated. The single matter of the body of a
past life not being in the present life invalidates the existence
of the past life to the individual who then does not -- or does
not care to -- remember it. Yet the facsimiles can be nevertheless
effective upon him.

Similarly the individual does not conceive to any extent time,
past the death of his body, since he will have no body.

Energy, whether in the field of thought, emotion or effort,
can be summed into DO. It requires beingness and havingness in
order to achieve doingness. Here we have the static of space
acting against the kinetic of possession to produce action in
the field of thought, emotion or effort, the various categories
of doingness.

Should one care to test this as a process on a preclear, he will
find that the missing portions of the preclear's past have to do
with loss of something. Loss itself is the single most aberrative
factor in living. It has long been known in this science that the
release of a grief charge was an important single improvement in
the preclear. Grief is entirely and only concerned with loss or
threatened loss. Pain itself can be defined in terms of loss, for
pain is the threat which tells one that loss of mobility or a
portion of the body or the environment is imminent. Man has pain
so thoroughly identified with loss that in some languages the
words are synonymous.

Loss is always identified with HAVE, for if one doesn't have,
one cannot lose.

The Hindu sought to depart into his Nirvana by refusing to have
anything to do with having. He sought thus to promote himself
into Being. He saw that so long as he retained a grasp on a body
in any degree he was Having, and thus was pressed into Doing.

Having and Being are often identified to the degree that many
people attempt exclusively to Be only by Having. The capitalist
judges his own beingness solely by the degree of

102

possession, not even vaguely by the degree of action he is able to
execute.

Possessions absorb and enforce time; only without possessions
would one be able to regulate time at will. This is a singular
attribute of the cleared theta clear, and to him possession of
MEST is extremely unimportant.

One can make up for a lack of Having by Doing, and by Doing
accomplishes Having and thus regulates time.

Having enhances either Being or Doing, as is sometimes
severely recognized by one who would like to take a vacation or
a trip to foreign lands.

Doing can enhance either Being or Having: a balanced Doing
slants in both directions, but if one does without Having, his
Being increases, as is well known by anyone who insists on
doing favors without recompense, and without gain.

There is an optimum speed of Doing. If one travels less than
that speed he has little Being and Having; if one travels greater
than that speed, he has to abandon both Being and Having. This
is applicable especially to the MEST universe. The case of a
race driver is in point. He must assume a contempt for Being
and Having in order to achieve the speeds he does.

When change is too rapid both Beingness and Havingness
suffer. When change is too slow both Beingness and Havingness
suffer. For Change is essentially the redirection of energy.

In the assessment of a preclear one can easily trace, by use of
the triangle, Be, Have and Do, and by placing this over a second
triangle with space at the point of Be, time at the point of Have
and energy at the point of Do, where the preclear is overbalanced
and why the preclear cannot handle time or why he is trying to
occupy too much space without being able to fill it, or why his
life is complicated with too much havingness and has reduced
his beingness to nought.

In the MEST universe as well as in a constructed universe,
these three factors should be balanced for orderly progress.

103

Creative Processing

The whole of the data covered in this volume is utilized in
creative processing. When one has mastered the component parts of
the mind and the interrelationships of space, energy, items and
experience, he will find creative processing surprisingly easy
to apply and productive of very swift results. The goal of this
process is the rehabilitation of as much of the thetan's capability
as possible to permit him to utilize or be free of bodies as he
chooses and, even in lesser magnitude, to rid the preclear of
psycho-somatics, eradicate compulsions, obsessions and inhibitions,
to raise his reaction time and intelligence level. This process
does whatever has been previously intended by earlier processes
-- utilizing a knowledge of these in order to assess the state
of the preclear, and in order to parallel this difficulty with
creation, change and destruction of mock-ups.

Gradient scales are vitally necessary in the application of
creative processing. The term "gradient scale" can apply to
anything, and means a scale of condition graduated from zero to
infinity. Absolutes are considered to be unobtainable. Depending
on the direction the scale is graduated, there could be an infinity
of wrongness and an infinity of rightness. Thus the gradient scale
of rightness would run from the theoretical but unobtainable zero
of rightness, up to the theoretical infinity of rightness. A gradient
scale of wrongness would run from a zero of wrongness to an
infinity of wrongness. The word "gradient" is meant to define
lessening or increasing degrees of condition. The difference
between one point on a graduated scale and another point could be
as different or as wide as the entire range of the scale itself, or
it could be so tiny as to need the most minute discernment for its
establishment. The gradient scale of the creation of a being could
be -- but in creative processing generally is not -- concerned with
time. In creative processing, the gradient scale, as it would refer
to the creation of a person, could be, first, the envisionment of an
area where the person might have been

104

or might be; then the envisionment of an area the person
commonly frequented; at last, the creation of a footprint the
person had made, and then perhaps some article of apparel or a
possession such as a handkerchief. The creative steps would then
continue until more and more of a person was established, and at
last the entire person would have been created. Likewise in the
destruction of a person, the gradient scale could, but generally
would not, begin with blowing him up or making him grow old.
If the auditor finds the preclear diffident about destroying an
illusion of some person, the environment can first be diminished
slightly; then perhaps the person's shadow might be shortened,
and so on until the entire person could be destroyed. The essence
of gradient scale work is to do as much creation, change or
destruction in terms of illusion as the preclear can accomplish
with confidence, and to go from successful step to greater step
until an entire success in destruction, alteration or creation (or
their companion states of experience, such as start, change and
stop) is accomplished.

The mind works easily if led through successive successes into
a complete confidence. The mind can be confused and set back
enormously by demanding that it do too much too fast. The same
"too much" can be accomplished by requesting of the mind that it
do small portions of the task; this does not mean that processing
should go slowly or that illusions which are easy to create,
change or destroy should have much time spent on them. It does
mean that as soon as an auditor has established a disability on
the part of the preclear in creating illusions of certain places,
persons, conditions, things, colors or any other thing in this
or any other universe, he approaches the subject gradually by
gradient scale and by accomplishing repeated successes with the
preclear of greater and greater magnitude, finally achieving a
complete banishment of the disability.

The reason a preclear cannot alter a postulate, or change or
start or stop, lies in the influence upon him of his agreements
and experiences in the MEST and other universes.

105

To run out these agreements and experiences as such would be,
in part, to agree with them over again. The mind is actually quite
free to alter postulates and change its own condition, if permitted
to do so at a speed that it finds comfortable. The mind will not
take wide divergences which seem to it to tend toward its own
diminishment or destruction. It was by a gradient scale of
agreement that he came at last to accept and very nearly succumb
to the MEST universe itself. The build-up of illusion was so slow
and insidious that only the closest assessment would reveal to
the preclear and the auditor how far these tiny steps of agreement
led at last.

The motto of the MEST universe could be said to be: "Thou
shalt have no force nor illusion, nor thine own space, nor
self-made energy or thing, for all illusion is mine and with that
thou shalt agree. If thou art, I shall not be." By a series of
minute agreements, the preclear has at last given up all his own
belief in his ability to make a universe, or even to create and
maintain minor illusions. He does not know or even suspect that
he is capable of producing illusions sufficiently strong to be
observable by others, and if he thought this were true, he would
attribute it to some mysterious thing and, so short and final
are the punishments of the MEST universe, he would tend to shy
away from this; but upon his ability to create illusion depends
the very existence of all his hopes and dreams and any beauty he
will ever see or feel. In truth, all sensation which he believes
to come from these masses of illusory energy known as the MEST
universe, are first implanted through agreement upon what he is
to perceive and then perceived again by himself, with the step
hidden that he has extended his own sensation to be felt and
perceived by himself. He is fully convinced that the MEST
universe itself has sensation which it can deliver to him,
whereas all the MEST universe has is an enforced agreement which
though of no substance, yet by a gradient scale came to be an
illusion which seems very masterful to a preclear. To prove the
reality and solidity of the MEST universe, the preclear could
pound his fist upon a desk and demonstrate that his fist bed

106

met something. He is making again the error of implanting
sensation and not knowing he has implanted it, for the fist which
he pounds on the desk is a MEST universe fist consisting of
MEST universe energy, which is itself a MEST universe
agreement, and it is meeting a desk which is MEST universe; he
is only demonstrating that when the MEST universe is perceived
to impact upon the MEST universe, one can then implant a
realistic impact and perceive it for his own wonderful edification.
Reality, then, is a delusion because it is one's own illusion which
has been disowned by one and is then received by one as being
another thing. Only by shedding all responsibility for one's own
energy can one fall into this covert trap. If one is unwilling to
be responsible for energy, he is capable of using energy and then
not perceiving that he uses it. One who blames others continually
can be discovered to effect most of the things for which he is
blaming other people. In such a way, an individual with the "very
best MEST universe, Mark 10,000 ears" takes no responsibility
for having implanted the sensation of sound in order to receive
the sensation of sound. A preclear as he comes up the tone-scale
more and more often catches himself doing this, and even though
he does not know the principles involved (for no preclear has
to be educated in Scientology to receive benefit from it), he
recognizes that even in the case of a loud crash, his continuation
of association from his environment permits him to perceive with
others that a crash has taken place of objects which he with
others continuously recreates solidly, and that he must actually
cause for his own perception the sound of the crash. In that the
beingness of an individual is actually extended for miles in all
directions around him, if not much further, any idea or thought or
past thought (as there is no past) is part of his beingness, and so
he must continually strive to be "faithful to his agreements with
the MEST universe."

To undo this state of affairs it is only necessary to rehabilitate
the awareness of the preclear that he himself is capable of
creating illusions. As he rehabilitates this faculty,

107

the preclear, without any coaching or evaluation on the part of
the auditor, begins to recognize that his viewpoint is expanding
and that he is becoming all-pervasive, but that he can collect his
awareness at any point, and that the "brutal reality" all around
him is continuously manufactured by himself out of agreements
and association with other viewpoints. So long as he is fixed
in a condition where he is in agreement with all spaces and
viewpoints, he sees and feels automatically with all other such
viewpoints. He is above the level of energy, if one can use
the term, on the same wavelength with all other beingness,
a condition which does not permit differentiation. As he
rehabilitates his abilities in independent creation, he can change
this "wavelength" at will, and can go into or out of agreement
with all other points of beingness. The matter of perceiving,
then, becomes entirely a matter of self-choice. It is, for
instance, quite startling of a preclear to discover that as
soon as he is free of the ridges of the body (which is to say,
when he has discovered he can change his viewpoint) that he is
already partly out of agreement with other viewpoints, and that
the MEST universe becomes slightly jumbled. He is apt to be very
anxious about this, for it is in conflict with the agreements
to which he is subject. He immediately may struggle very hard
to regain a state of affairs whereby he can view the MEST universe
as everyone else views it. Indeed, the auditor must continually
be on guard to prevent the preclear from attempting to reassume
these agreements. A badly-trained auditor can always be identified
by the fact that he shares the preclear's anxiety that the preclear
view the environment as the environment "should be." The reason
why a non-cleared auditor does not do well with these processes
is that he is very anxious for the preclear to continue agreement
with all others and to perceive the surroundings as exactly when
exteriorized as he did when he was looking through MEST eyes
and perceptions (which is to say, when the preclear was at his
exact, agreed-upon point of viewpoint). The ability to perceive
the MEST universe is the ability to agree. The preclear's accuracy
of perception of

108

the MEST universe is of no consequence. An auditor can act to
permit or even encourage a preclear to try to see, feel and hear
the MEST universe when exteriorized long before the preclear
is prepared to do so with equanimity. The auditor when doing
this, is dramatizing his own urge to agree with viewpoints and
perceive. A preclear who exteriorizes readily may find with
a shock that he is not perceiving the MEST universe as he
commonly supposes it should be perceived and quickly go back
into his body to reassure himself that he is "keeping his contract
of agreement." If the auditor demands that the preclear perceive
the environment when exteriorized, then the auditor will discover
that the preclear will drop in tone and that, when he has gone
into his body once more, a great deal of patient auditing is
necessary to regain the preclear's confidence in himself. The
preclear exteriorizing may find himself in all sorts of space
and time cross-ups, for he has insufficient command of space and
energy to independently sort out viewpoints when unassisted by
the orientation of the MEST body itself, which is, of course, in
debased and degraded agreement of a very set nature.

There are two "shuns." These are invalidation and evaluation.
The auditor must eschew them vigorously. The major invalidation
which could be practiced in using Scientology 8-8008 would be
a demand that the preclear see the environment as it is seen
through MEST perception or to criticize him for not being able
to do so. The majority of the preclear's perceptions may be
correct but some percentage of his perception is going to be
enough "off wavelength" with other agreement viewpoints to
cause him to perceive strangely. After a very large amount of
auditing, when the preclear has regained his ability to create
with considerable solidity his own illusions, it will be found
that the preclear can at will perceive the MEST universe and
can do so with accuracy. He can further, without the aid of a
body, move objects and do a thousand other "interesting tricks"
which could very

109

well be viewed with considerable awe, for they have not been
seen on earth in recorded history but have lived in legend.

Using Standard Operating Procedure, Issue 3, as given in this
volume, the auditor yet takes a very thorough assessment of
his preclear with an E-Meter. He discovers, in accordance with
information in this book, what the preclear is unable to start,
change, stop; create, alter, destroy; be, do or have; differentiate,
associate or identify; on each and every one of the eight dynamics
and their component parts. The auditor makes a complete list.
This is the Can't list. Exteriorized, if possible, or interiorized
as in the later numbered cases, the preclear is then made to
"mock-up" illusions about each one of these Can'ts and to change
the size, character and position of the illusion or any part thereof
in space, shift it in time simply by knowing it has been shifted by
him, until at last the preclear is able to handle the whole object
of the Can't with complete facility.

Can'ts may be an inability to destroy women or snakes or
specific persons, or create machinery, or write legibly. The
preclear is requested to accomplish by illusions the smallest
gradient of the Can't with which he can successfully start; and,
under auditor direction, by moving this small portion of the
whole here and there in space, tipping it this way and that and
making it, in particular, disobey "natural laws" in the MEST
universe, the preclear is led to an ability to create, change
or destroy the Can't.

The Can't is also the Must. Can't is an inhibition; Must is
an enforcement. What must the preclear do and what must be done
to him? By whom? By creative processing and gradient scales,
he achieves mock-ups until each one of these musts becomes a
"Can if I want to, but don't have to."

There are also the Desires. These are the cravings for sensation
or possession or identification which brought the preclear into
and made him continue agreements. Behind every case the Desires
are paramount and of greater importance than the Can'ts. Why
does he desire bodies? Why is his second dynamic aberrated? Why
does he feel he cannot

110

be free? Can he differentiate between his own actual wantingness
and the wantingness of MEST itself which is trying to have him?
The desires are resolved by creative processing wherein the
preclear does mock-ups of the necessary acts which he desires or
the necessary behaviors which brought him into agreement until
he can at last laugh at them.

In that creative processing does not take long in terms of time,
the assessment list can afford to be very broad and to cover every
possible phase through the system of the dynamics and the cycles
of action.

This is a list of things the preclear must be able to do with an
illusion:

Create the condition, energy or object

Conserve it

Protect it

Control it

Hide it

Change it

Age it

Make it go backwards on a cycle of action

Perceive it with all perceptions

Shift it at will in time

Rearrange it

Duplicate it

Turn it upside down or on the side at will

Make it disobey MEST laws

Be it

Not be it

Destroy it.

In order to accomplish these things, if the whole of any
condition cannot be fulfilled by gradient scale some tiny portion
of the condition must be fulfilled.

When a small condition has been fulfilled, the condition is then
enlarged until the whole condition can be fulfilled.

That preclear who cannot get even a shadow of an illusion

111

so that he can perceive it in any manner must be coaxed to see
white spots, black spots, of his own creation, and to change
those in space and time, enlarge and contract them, until he has
a certain command and control of black and white. This must be
done with such a preclear without regard to the number of hours
it takes or the patience of the drill. It can be done with the
eyes open or closed, whichever the preclear finds best.

When the preclear is discovered to be trying to prevent a motion
or condition, the auditor should magnify that very condition with
new mock-ups related to it, i.e., if objects keep rushing in
on the preclear, mock up objects rushing in until the action is
enormously magnified but under the preclear's complete control.
If the preclear cannot start something, make him stop it. If he
cannot reverse a direction, make him change the nature of the
object which he is trying to reverse enough times to permit him
to reverse the original disability. If the preclear cannot create
something, have him create anything even vaguely associated
with it, and by association at last have him mock up the actual
thing.

The essence of creative processing is moving objects in space
when they have been mocked up. They are moved near and far,
to the right, left, behind the preclear, below his feet, above
his head and in front of him. He must know that he has changed
the location of the object. If he cannot make a large change,
have him do a small change of location. If he cannot do a small
change of location, have him alter the object by turning it
different colors, or by enlarging or contracting it, or by pushing
it away or bringing it near him, until he can make it move
sideways. In failing to do this, have him do a change with some
allied object.

The essence of creative processing is a continuation of success.
Be careful not to give the preclear things which make him fail.
Do not let his failures mount up. Estimate the preclear and pay
attention to what he is doing; find out from him continually the
condition of his illusions, if you yourself as an auditor cannot
see them. Putting objects into

112

yesterday or tomorrow or well into the future or into the past is
vitally necessary to processing.

Control of the illusion is the essence of commands. The preclear
must be able to create, grow, conserve, decay and destroy; start,
change and stop; be, do and have; differentiate, associate and
identify; handle in space, with energy and in time, any object,
actual or mythical, in all the eight dynamics, and with high
preference given to anything which disobeys "natural laws" of
the MEST universe.

That auditor with a high order of imagination who is himself
clear, finds mock-ups very easy to "think up" and request of the
preclear, but it is not necessary to have such an imagination,
as a routine assessment will discover immediately that the most
ordinary things fall into the Can't, Must and Desire brackets in
the preclear's life.

The preclear will be discovered on the first dynamic, quite
ordinarily, not to be able to create, change or destroy, especially
destroy, his own body or bodies in which he thinks he is encased
within his own body (old time-track bodies such as a Fifth
Invader Force body). He will be found to be incapable in many
directions with facsimiles, communication lines and other
matters on the first dynamic alone. On the second dynamic,
many incapabilities will come to view, and so on along all the
dynamics. On the fifth dynamic, he will quite ordinarily be found
incapable of handling snakes, spiders, vicious fish, bacteria,
wild animals and domestic pets. On the seventh dynamic he will
be discovered unable to handle other thetans, even in the most
elementary fashion of bringing two dots of light into proximity
and then separating them (an exercise which blows head ridges
in many preclears quite explosively). On the eighth dynamic his
limitations quite ordinarily become too obvious for comment, but
on each and every dynamic he must be able to do or fulfil any of
the above cycles or conditions.

Standard Operating Procedure tells how to exteriorize a thetan.
Creative processing, rising-scale postulate changing, postulate
processing, are then necessary to bring him toward

113

a state of a cleared theta clear. The state of theta clear simply
demands that the preclear remains outside his body when the body
itself is hurt, and the state is adequate to prevent his being
trapped again by a body except in unusual circumstances. There
is no guarantee of long continuance in the condition. The state
of cleared theta clear is, however, another thing, for it means a
person who is able to create his own universe; or, living in the
MEST universe, is able to create illusions perceivable by others
at will, to handle MEST universe objects without mechanical
means and to have and feel no need of bodies or even the MEST
universe to keep himself and his friends interested in existence.

114

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE 8

The basic technology of this operating procedure is to be found
in The Factors, Scientology 8-8008 and at the Professional
School.

In using this operating procedure, the auditor should give
every heed to the AUDITOR'S CODE. Further, he should audit the
preclear in the presence of a third person or another auditor.

This operating procedure is best done by an auditor who has
been thoroughly trained in all processes involving the reduction
of the past and its incidents; the untrained auditor may encounter
manifestations with which only a professional auditor would be
familiar.

This operating procedure retains the most workable methods
of preceding procedures and, in itself, emphasizes POSITIVE
GAIN and the present and future rather than negative gain of
eradication of the past.

The thetan, exteriorized and rehabilitated, can handle and
remedy by direct address of his own energy to the body and the
removal of old energy deposits, all body malfunctions or mental
aberrations attacked by older processes. The goal of this
procedure is not the rehabilitation of the body but of the
thetan. Rehabilitation of a body incidentally ensues.

The goal of this procedure is OPERATING THETAN, a higher
goal than earlier procedures.

The auditor tests the preclear for each step from Step I on until
he finds a step the preclear can do. The auditor then completes
this step and then the next higher step until the thetan is
exteriorized. With the thetan exteriorized, the auditor now
completes all seven steps regardless of the step

115

performed before exteriorization. He may complete all these steps
and all parts of these steps rapidly. But they must be done to
obtain a theta clear and they must be done thoroughly to obtain
an OPERATING THETAN.

The techniques involved herein were developed by L. Ron
Hubbard and after testing by him, were tested by other auditors
on a wide variety of cases. It is doubtful if any earlier process
of any kind in any age has been as thoroughly validated as
this operating procedure. However, it works only when used as
stated. Disorganized fragments of this material, given other
names and emphasis, may be found to be harmful. Irresponsible
and untrained use of this procedure is not authorized. Capricious
or quasi-religious exteriorization of the thetan for other purposes
than the restoration of his ability and self-determinism should be
resisted by any being. The goal of this process is freedom for the
individual to the betterment of the many.

STEP I -- Ask preclear to be three feet behind his head. If stable
there, have him be in various pleasant places until any feeling of
scarcity of viewpoints is resolved; then have him be in several
undesirable places, then several pleasant places; then have
him be in a slightly dangerous place, then in more and more
dangerous places until he can sit in the center of the sun. Be
sure to observe gradient scale of ugliness and dangerousness of
places. Do not let preclear fail. Then do remaining steps with
preclear exteriorized.

STEP II -- Have preclear mock up own body. If he does this
easily and clearly, have him mock up own body until he slips
out of it. When he is exteriorized and knows it thoroughly (the
conditions of all exteriorization) do Step I. If his mock-up was
not clear, go to Step III immediately.

STEP III -- SPACATION: Have preclear close his eyes and find
upper corners of the room. Have him sit there, not thinking,
refusing to think of anything, interested only in the corners until
he is completely exteriorized without strain. Then do a spacation
(constructing own space with eight

116

anchor points and holding it stable without effort) and go to Step
I. If preclear was unable to locate corners of the room easily with
his eyes closed, go to Step IV.

STEP IV -- EXPANDED GITA: (This is an extension of "Give and
Take" processing.) Test preclear to see if he can get a mock-up he
can see, no matter how vague. Then have him WASTE, ACCEPT UNDER
DURESS, DESIRE and finally be able to TAKE OR LEAVE ALONE each of
the items listed below. He does this with mock-ups or ideas. He must
do the sequence of WASTE, etc., in the order given here for each
item. He wastes it by having it at remote distances in places where
it will do no good, being used or done or observed by something
which cannot appreciate it; when he is able to waste it in vast
quantities the auditor then has him accept it in mock-up form
until he no longer is antagonistic to having to accept it even
when it is unpleasant and great force is applied to make him take
it; then, again with mock-ups, he must be able to bring himself
to desire it even in its worst form; then, by mock-ups of it in its
most desirable form he must come to be able to leave it entirely
alone or take it in its worst form without caring. EXPANDED
GITA remedies contra-survival abundance and scarcity. It will
be found that before one can accept a very scarce (to him) thing,
he has to give it away. A person with a milk allergy must be able
to give away, in mock-up, enormous quantities of milk, wasting
it, before he can accept any himself. The items in this list are
compounded from several years of isolating what factors were
more important to minds than others; the list lacks very few of
the very important items if any; additions to or subtractions
from this list should not be attempted. Viewpoint, work and pain
should be heavily and often stressed and given priority.

WARNING: SHOULD YOUR PRECLEAR BECOME UNSTABLE OR UPSET DOING THIS
PROCESS TAKE HIM TO STEP VI, THEN RETURN TO THIS LIST.

COMMENT: The mind is sufficiently complicated that it can be
expected to have computations on almost all the above. Thus
there is no single clearing button and search for it is at the
dictate of a circuit, the mechanism of circuits being to search
for something hidden. Thus your preclear may begin to compute and
philosophize and seek to find the "button" that will release all
this. All this releases all the buttons so tell him to relax and
go on with the process every time he starts to compute.

NOTE: Running the above will bring to the surface without
further attention the "computation on the case" and the service
facsimile. Do not audit these. Run Expanded Gita.

STEP V -- PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. EXTERIORIZATION OF
SCENERY. Have preclear, with his body's eyes, study and see the
difference between similar real objects such as the two legs of
a chair, the spaces between the back, two cigarettes, two trees,
two girls. He must see and study the objects, it is not enough
to remember objects. The definition of a CASE V is "no mock-ups,
only blackness." Have him continue this process until he is alert.
Use liberally and often.

Then exteriorize by having the preclear close his eyes and move
actual places on Earth under him, preferably places he has not
been. Have him bring these up to him, find two similar things
in the scene and observe the difference between them. Move him
over oceans and cities until he is certain that he is exteriorized.

Then, preferably while exteriorized, have him do STEP I.

120

This case has to know before he can be. His viewpoint is in the
past. Give him present time viewpoints until he is a STEP I by
the methods given for STEP V.

(COMMENT: PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION is a very good general
technique and resolves chronic somatics and improves tone.)

STEP VI -- A-R-C STRAIGHT WIRE using next to last list of
SELF ANALYSIS IN SCIENTOLOGY which asks preclear to recall
something really real to him, etc. Then use the lists in SELF
ANALYSIS. This level is the neurotic level. It is identified
by the preclear having mock-ups which will not persist or which
won't go away. Use also PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. Then go to
STEP IV. At any drop in tone, return case to STEP VI.

STEP VII -- PSYCHOTIC CASES.* Whether in or out of body,
the psychotic looks to be in such desperate straits that people
often err in thinking desperate measures are necessary. Use the
lightest possible methods. Give case space and freedom where
possible. Have Psychotic IMITATE (not mock up) various things.
Have him do PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION. Get him to tell the
difference between things by actual touch. Have him locate,
differentiate and touch things that are really real to him (real
objects or items). If inaccessible mimic him with own body whatever
he does until he comes into communication. Have him locate corners
of the room and hold them without thinking. As soon as his
communication is up, go to STEP VI but be very sure he changes
any mock-up around until he knows it is a mock-up, that it exists
and that he himself made it. Do not run engrams. He is psychotic
because viewpoints in present time are so scarce that he has gone
into the past for viewpoints which at least he knew existed. By

* It is not the purpose of Scientology to handle psychotics, but
rather to "make the able more able". The above is included,
however, as valuable data for the handling of psychotics.

121

PRESENT TIME DIFFERENTIATION, by tactile on objects, return his
idea of an abundance of viewpoint in present time. If he has been
given electric shock, do not process it or any other brutality.
Work him for very brief periods for his attention span is short.
Always work psychotics with another person or a companion present.

NOTE: ALL STEPS FOR ALL CASES. IF IN DOUBT AS TO CONDITION OF
CASE, TEST WITH STEP VI.

NOTE: An Operating Thetan must also be able to manufacture
particles of admiration and force in abundance.

STEP I -- The Operating Thetan must be able to manufacture
and experience to his complete satisfaction all sensations
including pain in mock-up form and all energies such as
admiration and force. It will be found that some STEP I cases
will not be able to manufacture admiration particles.

STEP II -- Be very careful not to make a lower step preclear,
while still in a body, mock up his own body too long. Any
mock-up will appear if it is simply put there often enough and
long enough -- providing the preclear doesn't spin in the process.
The long term manufacture of mock-ups of one's own body and
of admiration may not produce quite the results expected --
communication lines which should remain shut may open with
bad results. These lines that are shut appear like hard, black
cords to the preclear.

There are two types of techniques in general: POSITIVE GAIN
and NEGATIVE GAIN as defined in the above text. POSITIVE CAN BE
ADMINISTERED IN UNLIMITED AMOUNTS WITHOUT HARM. Negative gain
techniques such as the reduction of engrams and locks
double-terminalling, black and white, are often limited in the
length of time they can be given: after a few hundred hours of
early type auditing the case could be found to slump. Thus we
have in POSITIVE GAIN the unlimited technique which improves the
analytical mind; in NEGATIVE GAIN we have a limited (in terms of
the time it can be audited) technique. In SOP 8

122

the following steps and processes may be audited without limit:
STEP I, STEP III, STEP V, STEP VI, STEP VII.

The following steps are limited and should not be audited many
hours without changing to another type (unlimited for a while,
after which the following steps could be resumed): STEP II,
STEP IV.

THE FOLLOWING STEPS CAN BE USED ON GROUPS: Step III, Step V,
part 1 and part 2, Step VI, Step VII.

The following is a list of effective procedures as of April 28th,
1953. If a procedure is labelled (U) it is unlimited and could be
audited thousands of hours and only improve a case: if labelled
(L) it is limited and must be handled with discretion and alternated
with an unlimited technique: if it is labelled (S) it is seldom
used: if labelled (A) it is used in assists.

ADDITIONAL NOTE ON EXPANDED GITA: The governing rule here
is that the preclear craves exactly what he has and must waste
whatever he doesn't have. It is better, in the opinion of a
thetan, to have anything no matter how "bad" rather than have
nothing. He craves those things which are scarce but he can't
even have those things which are scarcest. In order to have what
he cannot have he first must be able to waste it (in mock-up)
in quantity. An abbreviated form of this process would involve,
over and over, wasting, accepting under duress, the following
items in turn:

TRY FIRST: HEALTHY BODIES, STRONG BODIES, GOOD PERCEPTION, GOOD
RECALL, VIEWPOINTS, PAIN, WORK, FREEDOM FOR OTHERS TO HAVE
VIEWPOINTS.

The preclear cannot be free himself until he has freed others.
This does not work out in the MEST universe but it works out in
mock-ups.

CIRCUITS GO INTO ACTION ON MANY OF THESE PROCESSES: DON'T
PERMIT YOUR PRECLEAR TO THINK, DON'T BE INTERESTED IN WHAT HE THINKS,
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS RULE WILL CAUSE THE PROCESS TO FAIL.

COMPARISON OF MEST OBJECTS TO MOCK-UPS RESOLVES WHY THETANS MAKE
FACSIMILES AND DISCLOSES TO THE PRECLEAR THE MECHANISM, THIS IS A
GOOD PROCESS AND CAN BE DONE AT STEP IV AS AN ADDITIONAL PART OF
IV. HAVE PRECLEAR MAKE A MOCK-UP THE SAME AS A MEST OBJECT AND PUT
THE MOCK-UP ALONGSIDE

124

OF THE MEST OBJECT AND THEN COMPARE THEM. THE MOCK-UPS WILL
GRADUALLY IMPROVE, THEN KEY OUT THE MECHANISM THAT MAKES FACSIMILES.

125

CERTAINTY PROCESSING

SOP-8 Appendix No. 2

The anatomy of maybe consists of uncertainties and is resolved
by the processing of certainties. It is not resolved by the
processing of uncertainties.

An uncertainty is held in suspense solely because the preclear is
holding on so hard to certainties. The basic thing he is holding
on to is "I have a solution," "I have no solution." One of these
is positive, the other is negative. A complete positive and a
complete negative are alike a certainty. The basic certainty is
"There is something," "There is nothing." A person can be certain
there is something, he can be certain there is nothing.

"There is something," "There is nothing" resolves chronic
somatics in this order. One gets the preclear to have the center
of the somatic say "There is something here," "There is nothing
here." Then he gets the center of the somatic to say "There is
nothing there," "There is something there." Then the auditor has
the preclear toward the somatic say "There is something there,"
"There is nothing there." And then he gets the preclear to say
about himself "There is something here." "There is nothing here."
This is a very fast resolution of chronic somatics; quite ordinarily
three or four minutes of this will resolve an acute state and
fifteen or twenty minutes of it will resolve a chronic state.

This matter of certainties goes further. It has been determined
by my investigations that the reason behind what is happening is
the desire of a cause to bring about an effect. Something is better
than nothing, anything is better than nothing. Any circuit, any
effect, any anything, is better than nothing. If you will match
terminals in brackets "There is nothing," you will find that a lot
of your preclears become

126

very ill. This should be turned around into "There is something."

The way one does Matched Terminals is to have the preclear
facing the preclear or his father facing his father; in other words,
two of each of anything, one facing the other. These two things
will discharge one into the other, thus running off the difficulty.
By bracket we mean, of course, running this with the preclear
putting them up as himself to himself as though they were put up
by somebody else, the somebody else facing the somebody else,
and the matched terminal again put up by others facing others.

The clue to all this is positive and negative in terms of
certainties. The positive plus the negative in conflict make an
uncertainty. A great number of combinations of things can be
run. Here's a list of the combinations: --

The button behind sex is "I can begin life anew," "I cannot
begin life anew," "I can make life persist," "I cannot make life
persist," "I can stop life," "I cannot stop life, can change life,"
"I cannot change life," "I can start life", "I cannot start life."

A very effective process,

"Something wrong ... "

"Nothing wrong ... "

with "you, me, they, my mind, communications, various allies."

A very basic resolution of the lack of space of an individual is
to locate those people and those objects which you've been using
as anchor points such as father, mother and so forth and putting
them into matched terminal brackets with this: -- "There is
father," "There is no father," "There is grandfather," "There
is no grandfather." In the compulsive line this can be changed to
"There must be no father," "There must be a father." One takes
all the allies of an individual and runs them in this fashion.

The basic law underneath this is that a person becomes the
effect of anything upon which he has had to depend. This would
tell you immediately that the sixth dynamic, the MEST universe,
is the largest dependency of the individual. This can be run out,
but then any dynamic can be run out in

127

this fashion. "There is myself," "There is no self," and so
on up the dynamics. "(Any dynamic) is preventing me from
communicating," "(Any dynamic) is not preventing me from
communicating" is intensely effective. Any such technique can
be varied by applying the sub-zero scale as found earlier in this
book.

One runs any certainty out because he knows that for this
certainly there is an opposite negative certainty and that between
these lies a maybe, and that the maybe is suspense in time. The
basic operation of the reactive mind is to solve problems. It
is based on uncertainties about observation. Thus one runs out
certainties of observation. The most general shotgun technique
would have to do with "There is sex," "There is no sex," "There is
force," "There is no force." This could be run, of course, in terms
of matched terminal brackets or even as concepts, but one must
not neglect to run the overt act phenomenon which is to say
getting somebody else getting the concept.

The processing out of certainties would then embrace "I have a
solution," "There is no solution." These two opposite ends would
take care of any individual who was hung on the track with some
solution, for that solution had its opposite. People who have
studied medicine begin by being certain that medicine works and
end by being certain that medicine doesn't work. They begin by
studying psychology on a supposition that it is the solution,
and finish up that it is not the solution. This also happens
to superficial students of Dianetics and Scientology, thus one
should also run "Dianetics is a solution," "Dianetics is not the
solution," This would also get one off the maybe on the subject.

We are essentially processing communications systems. The
entire process of auditing is concentrated upon withdrawing
communications from the preclear as predicated on the basis of
the body and the preclear cannot handle communications. Thus
"The preclear can handle communication," "The preclear cannot
handle communications" is a

128

shotgun technique which resolves maybes about his communications.

An intensely interesting aspect of Certainty Processing is that
it shows up intimately where the preclear is aberrated. Here is the
overall basic technique. One runs "There is...," "There is not..."
the following: Communication, talk, letters, love, agreement,
sex, pain, work, bodies, minds, curiosity, control, enforcement,
compulsion, inhibition, food, money, people. ability, beauty,
ugliness, presents and both the top and bottom of the Chart of
Attitudes, positive and negative in each one.

Basic in all this is the urge of the preclear to produce an
effect, so one can run "I can produce an effect upon mama," "I cannot
produce an effect upon mama," and so forth for all allies and one
will resolve the fixations of attention on the part of the preclear.
Thus fixations of attention are resolved by Certainty Processing,
processing out the production of effect.

One can occasionally, if he so desires, process the direct center
of the maybe, which is to say doubt itself, in terms of Matched
Terminals. This, however, is risky for it throws the preclear into
a general state of doubt.

The key to any such processing is the recovery of viewpoints. "I
can have grandfather's viewpoint," "I cannot have grandfather's
viewpoint," and so on, particularly with sexual partners, will
prove intensely interesting on a case. "There are viewpoints,"
"There are no viewpoints," "I have a viewpoint," "I don't have a
viewpoint," "Blank has a viewpoint," "Blank has no viewpoint,"
resolves problems.

One should also realize that when one is processing facsimiles,
he is processing at once energy, sensation and aesthetics. The
facsimile is a picture. The preclear is being affected by pictures
mainly, and so "There are no pictures," "There are pictures,"
forwards the case toward handling pictures; which is to say
facsimiles.

A person tends to ally himself with somebody whom he
considers capable of producing greater effects than himself,

129

so "I, she, he, it can create greater effects," "I, she, he, it
can create no effect," is quite effective.

When one is processing, he is trying to withdraw
communications. Reach and Withdraw are the two fundamentals
in the action of theta. Must Reach and Cannot Reach, Must
Withdraw and Cannot Withdraw are compulsions which, when
run in combination, produce the manifestation of insanity in a
preclear.

"I can reach," "I can't reach," "I can withdraw," "I can't
withdraw," open up into the fact that remembering and forgetting
are dependent upon the ability to reach and withdraw. You will
find that a preclear will respond to "You must" or "You can,"
"You must not," "You cannot," "There is," "There is not,"
forgetting and remembering.

The only reason a person is hanging on to a body or facsimile
is because he has lost his belief in his ability to create. The
rehabilitation of this ability to create is resolved -- for instance,
in a person who has had an ambition to write with "I can write," "I
cannot write" -- and so forth. The loss of this creative ability
made the person hang on to what he had. The fact that a preclear
has forgotten how to or no longer can himself generate force
makes him hold on to stores of force. These are very often
mistaken by the auditor for facsimiles. The preclear doesn't care
for the facsimile, he simply cares for the force contained in the
facsimile because he knows he doesn't have any force any more.

It should be kept in mind that reaching and withdrawing are
intensely productive of reaction in a preclear. But that preclear
who does not respond to reaching and withdrawing and certainty
thereon, is hung up in a very special condition: he is trying
to prevent something from happening, he is trying to maintain
control. If he prevents something from happening, he also
prevents auditing from happening. He has lost allies, he has
had accidents, and he is hung up at all those points on the
track where he feels he should have prevented something from
happening. This is resolved by running "I

130

must prevent it from happening," "I cannot prevent it from
happening." "I must retain control," "I must lose all control."

Blackness is the desire to be an effect and the inability to be
cause.

"I can create grandfather (or ally)," "I cannot create grandfather
(or ally)," solves scarcity of allies. "I want to be aware," "I want
no awareness," is a technique which is basic in attitudes. Run
this as others, in matched terminal brackets or in Expanded
GITA.

Certainty there is a past, certainty there is no past; certainty
there is a future, certainty there is no future; certainty it means
something else, certainty it does not mean anything else; certainty
there is space, certainty there is no space; certainty there is
energy. certainty there is no energy; certainty there are objects,
certainty there are no objects.

131

GLOSSARY

THETAN: This term designates the beingness of the individual,
the awareness of awareness unit, that quantity and identity which
IS the preclear. One does not speak of "my thetan" any more than
he would speak of "my me." Persons referring to the thetan in
such a way as to make the thetan a third party to the body and
the person are not only incorrect, they betoken by this a bad state
of aberration.

AUDITOR: The person who "audits," who computes and listens,
a practitioner of Dianetics and Scientology. SOP Theta Clearing
is best done by an auditor who has been theta cleared. A Step V
commonly acts to force the preclear to stay in his body even while
pretending to free the preclear from his body.

LOCATION: The thetan is an energy unit which is commonly
located in the center of the skull. A thetan who cannot leave the
current body very often believes himself to be holding on only to
the current body. and yet in actuality is holding on to a facsimile
of an earlier body. The thetan also believes himself to be the
size of some earlier body. A thetan from the Fifth Invader Force
believes himself to be a very strange insect-like creature with
unthinkably horrible hands. He believes himself to be occupying
such a body, but is in actuality simply a unit capable of
producing space, time, energy and matter.

SELF-DETERMINISM: Self-determinism is a relative state of
ability to determine location in time and space, and to create
and destroy space, time, energy and matter. If one can locate his
facsimiles and ridges in time and space, if one is able to place
persons and objects in the past, present and future in time and
space, he can be considered to have high self-determinism. If
one's facsimiles place him in time and space, if people can
easily place one in time and space in the past,

132

present or future, one's self-determinism is low. Willingness and
unwillingness to locate things in time and space are the key
relative states of sanity.

ILLUSION: Any idea, space, energy, object or time concept
which one creates himself.

REALITY: That agreement upon illusion which became the
MEST universe.

DELUSION: Things not of one's own creation or of the MEST
universe which locate one in time and space.

CERTAINTY: One is certain on a plus or minus basis and can
be equally certain on either. One can be certain a thing is NOT
real or he can be certain that it IS real. There are three sides
to this. One is certain that a thing is his own illusion: this is
the highest level. One is certain that a thing is a MEST universe
reality (illusion). One can be certain that a thing is a delusion.
Any certainty is a knowingness. Knowingness is sanity. Thus we
have three routes of certainty by which to approach knowingness.

KNOWINGNESS: Knowingness depends upon certainty.

ABERRATION: Aberration depends upon uncertainty.

THETA PERCEPTION: That which one perceives by radiating
toward an object and from the reflection perceiving various
characteristics of the object such as size, odor, tactile, sound,
color, etc. Certainty of perception is increased by drilling
in certainties as above. Theta perception is dependent upon
willingness to handle energy and to create space, energy and
objects. In view of the fact that the MEST universe can be
established easily to be an illusion, one must have an ability
to perceive illusions before one can clearly perceive the MEST
universe. The thetan who cannot perceive the MEST universe
easily will also be found to be incapable of handling and
orienting other kinds of illusions with certainty. Theta
perception is also a direct index to responsibility, for
responsibility is the willingness to handle force.

133

MEST PERCEPTION: Recordings the thetan takes from the
organs of perception of the human body as a short cut to
perception (lazy perception). The body records actual wave
emanations from the MEST universe, the thetan uses these
recordings. Considerably more data should be collected on this
subject.

ORIENTATION: Determination of location in space and time
and determination of energy quantity present. This applies to
past, present, future.

RIDGES: "Solid" accumulations of energy which are suspended
in space and time. Ridges can be handled variously. They can
also explode.

FACSIMILES: Energy reproductions of things in various
universes. They are fixed to ridges.

END OF TERMINAL: A communication line to anything has the
preclear at one end and something at the other end. When the
end of terminal is vacated, flow dams and the preclear must fix
the vacated end to his own body. This is the mechanics behind
the loss which brings about grief. ARC lines can be mocked-up
and handled in the routine of creative processing, which
processes will resolve end of terminal difficulties. These
terminals are quite visible to the thetan who sees them either
wound around the body or extending to other bodies or reaching
a considerable distance into space. The thetan can actually yank
on these terminals, even those which go into space, and free the
other end whether he perceives it or not, and so recover and
dispose of such lines.

ASTRAL BODIES: Somebody's delusion. Astral bodies are usually
mock-ups which the mystic then tries to believe real. He sees
the astral body as something else and then seeks to inhabit it
in the most common practices of "astral walking." Anyone who
confuses astral bodies with thetans is apt to have difficulty
with theta clearing for the two things are not the same order
of similarity. The exteriorization of a thetan, when actually
accomplished, is so complete and thorough and

134

is attended by so many other phenomena, that anyone who has made
an effort to relate these two things is quite certain to recant
after he has been theta cleared. The most note worthy difference
is that the thetan does not have a body. Production of illusion
to which he then sought to assign MEST reality is probably the
underlying factor which makes mysticism so aberrative. Data
from India, even that found in the deepest "mysteries" of India,
is knowingly or unknowingly "booby-trapped" so that while
it contains, though unevaluated and isolated, many essential
truths, it contains as well directions which are certain to send
the experimenter even more deeply into the unwanted state of
becoming MEST. Until recently. the nearest one could come to
studying the actuality of existence was through the field of
mysticism and its value should not be discounted, but its effect
is to deliver an entirely opposite result to any experimenter
luckless enough to hope to reach cause by becoming an effect as
required in mysticism. Seeing and feeling "non-existences" is
frightening and harmful only when one seeks to believe them to
be existences. Only when he knows he has created them, can he
obtain a certainty upon them. One can create hallucination for
himself only by insisting that what he has created was otherwise
created -- in short, refusing to accept responsibility for his
own created illusions.

ELECTRONICS: Lower and cruder manifestations of the same
order of actuality as thought.

TERMINALS: In facsimiles, ridges and electric motors, terminals
operate and current flows only when they are fixed in time and
space. Alternating current becomes possible only because of an
overlooked item, the base of the motor, which is fixed in time
and space and which keeps the terminals apart by fixing them in
time and space.

THE HUMAN SOUL: The preclear.

MYSTICISM: Many right ideas but the wrong way to go about it.

135

FREEDOM: Ability to create and position energy or matter in
time and space.

SLAVERY: Being positioned in another's time and space.

THE HUMAN BODY: A carbon-oxygen engine built of complex
electronic ridges around the genetic entity which animates it.

THE HUMAN MIND: The thetan plus the standard banks.

STIMULUS-RESPONSE: The environment of the thetan activating
ridges to make them activate the body.

THE REACTIVE MIND: The ridge automatic response system.

THE SOMATIC MIND: The genetic entity plus the brain system
of the body.

SCIENTOLOGY: The science of knowing how to know.

KNOWING HOW TO KNOW: Being the thetan, clear of the body and
its ridges and able to handle illusion, matter, energy, space and
time.

THETA CLEAR: A being who is reasonably stable outside the
body and does not come back into the body simply because the
body is hurt. No other condition necessary.

CLEARED THETA CLEAR: A thetan who is completely rehabilitated
and can do everything a thetan should do, such as move MEST and
control others from a distance, or create his own universe.

A THETAN EXTERIOR: A thetan who is clear of the body and
knows it but is not yet stable outside.

136

SIX LEVELS OF PROCESSING -- ISSUE 5

November, 1955

NOTE: Issue Five of the Six Levels of Processing is not the
final issue of this operating procedure and is subject to change,
especially in the matter of command wording. However, the
processes here reproduced have been evolved into a workable
state and have been run with success with the commands given.
Issue 5 of SLP is released at this time because it is better
material, not because it is the final form of SLP.

With SLP is introduced a method of auditing and a new
auditing atmosphere which articulates the attitudes best
calculated to maintain continuing stable gains in a case. The
auditing atmosphere is A-R-C with gain marked by continuing
rises in A-R-C. With SLP a somatic or boil-off means reduced
A-R-C and are indications of auditing breaks in A-R-C. With
SLP comes the COMMUNICATION BRIDGE, restarting sessions,
maintenance of high Reality, and liberal use of processing
outside an auditing room.

All assist type processes are outside SLP except for the present
time problem.

The emphasis of SLP is on bettering the preclear's reality and
power of choice.

Level One

RUDIMENTS

These must be established at the beginning of every session.
They must be re-established each time the preclear tends to go
out of session:

(a) Find the auditor

(b) Find the preclear

137

(c) Find the session environment

(d) Establish that a session is in progress

(e) Accept any communication the preclear originates

(f) Acknowledge every command execution by the preclear

(g) Agree upon the process and the command form before using
and do not confuse it

(h) Use two-way communication liberally

the beginning or arise during or recur during a session

(k) Use a Communication Bridge at every process or area
change

(l) Establish goals by two-way communication and the command
"Assign an intention to _______ " (auditor indicating object)

(m) Run opening procedure of 8-C as given in The Creation of
Human Ability until the preclear is certainly obeying the
auditing commands and is under control.

Level Two

LOCATIONAL AND NOT-KNOW PROCESSES

Run in populated places, ambulant.

(a) Energy Sources:

Have preclear spot acceptable energy sources. Do not permit
him to spot statics unless he is ready for it. Run until preclear
can empower terminals. Commands: "Spot an acceptable energy
source."

(b) Spotting Objects:

Have preclear spot objects in a place with ample space and
objects. Commands: "Spot an object."

(c) Spotting people:

Have preclear spot people in populated places. Command:
"Spot a person."

138

(d) Separateness from Objects:

Have preclear spot objects he is separate from, then objects
separate from him. Commands: "Locate an object from which you
are separate." "Locate an object which is separate from you."

(e) Separateness from People:

Have preclear spot people he is separate from, then have him
spot people separate from him. Commands: "Locate a person from
whom you are separate." "Locate a person who is separate from
you."

(f) Waterloo Station:

Have preclear spot people about whom he can Not-Know
something and then have him spot people he is willing to
have Not-Know things about him. (Auditor selects persons.)
Commands: "Tell me something you wouldn't mind not-knowing
about that person." "Tell me something you wouldn't mind that
person not-knowing about you.

Level Three

DECISIONAL PROCESSING

Run in quiet places or auditing rooms.

(a) Think a Placed Thought:

The object is to train the preclear to think thoughts exterior
to his head and thetan bank to obviate the "cave-in phenomena
of Axiom 51." Commands: (auditor indicating object or position)
"Think a thought in (on) that _______ " Alternate command:
"Do you see that (object)? Think a thought in (on) it. Did the
thought appear where it is?"

(b) Choice Rehabilitation:

Using the ability acquired in Level Three (a) have the preclear
make choices between two objects indicated by auditor. Command:
"From (indicated point) make a choice between (indicated positions
or objects)."

139

(c) Directed Decision Rehabilitation:

Using the ability acquired in (a) and (b) exercise the preclear
on decisions. Command: "Putting the decision on (in) that (indicated
object) make a decision about it."

(d) Permissive Decision Rehabilitation:

Using the abilities acquired in (a), (b) and (c) turn preclear
loose on decisions. Decisions must be outside head and bank.
Command: "Decide something."

Level Four

Done in an auditing room with a book and a bottle.

Commands: "Do you see that book?"

"Walk over to it."

"Pick it up."

"Not-know something about its color."

"Not-know something about its temperature."

"Not-know something about its weight."

"Put it in exactly the same place."

"Do you see that bottle?"

"Walk over to it."

"Pick it up."

"Not know something about its color."

"Not know something about its temperature."

"Not know something about its weight."

"Put it in exactly the same place."

"Do you see that book?"

Level Five

REMEDY OF COMMUNICATION SCARCITY

The object of this step is to restore abundance on any and all
communication possibilities. Done in an auditing room.

140

(a) Create confusion:

Commands: "Mock up a confusion." Alternate command: "What
confusion could you create?"

(b) Creating Terminals:

The preclear may have to be coached into mocking up unknown
confused black terminals and thus into good terminal mock ups.
Commands: "Mock up a communication terminal." "Mock up another
communication terminal."

(c) What wouldn't you mind communicating with:

Duplicate the auditing command exactly. Don't red-herring (go
chasing after facsimiles). Command: "What wouldn't you mind
communicating with?"

(d) Creating family terminals:

Have preclear mock up until he has abundance of any and all
persons he has ever used as anchor points. Commands: "Mock
up your (father, wife, mother, husband). "Mock him (her) up
again."

Level Six

REMEDY OF HAVINGNESS AND SPOTTING SPOTS IN SPACE

Route One

An exteriorized step done as given in the Creation of Human
Ability.

141

GAMES PROCESSING

The goal of Scientology is the rehabilitation of the game.
The auditor can make a game better or make it possible for the
preclear to play a game. The preclear is being audited because
he is no longer able to take part in the game. Life is a game
consisting of freedom and restrictions. Play is communication.
Communication requires freedom and terminals. Life units as-is
with thought. To think there must be something to as-is. To grant
life there must be something to grant life to. A preclear will
become as free as he is reassured of the existence of barriers
at that level. When a preclear is not assured of (does not have
reality on) barriers at a level he will not rise to that level.
A thetan will carry to extremes making something and making
nothing. Auditing is that process of bringing a balance between
freedom and barriers. A game depends upon a restoration of
freedom of choice on making something and making nothing.
One can become obsessed with making nothing. He can become
obsessed with making something. Both of these activities and the
rehabilitation of the freedom of choice bring about a gain in
case. There can be too many or too few universes, but when an
individual is stuck in a universe it is because he does not
have enough universes. Therefore it is necessary to remedy his
havingness of bodies. Remedying his havingness of bodies will
clear away universes in which he is stuck by letting him have
freedom of entrance into universes.

Auditing is a game of exteriorization versus havingness. There
is never too much of anything if the preclear is bothered by it.
He may say there is not enough of it but he usually says there
is something bad about it. When he says there is something bad
about it he means there is not enough of it. The preclear loses his
power to postulate into existence and

142

to unpostulate out of existence energy masses, spaces and forms.

Life is a game.

Games are composed of freedom, problems, and havingness,
awareness and interest.

Each of these elements contains "mood of game" (the tone
scale), penalties, and the cycle of action.

Auditing improves the level of game of the preclear.

Auditing is not a game between auditor and preclear on an
opposing basis but on a team basis. The auditor, and eventually
the preclear, are engaged upon a game, themselves versus the
opponents to survival in life.

The preclear is usually close to a no-game condition. This is
reached by a preponderance of win (no-game) or a preponderance of
lose (no-game). A frozen mood of game or no-mood is reached by
assuming that interest can exist on only one emotional level
(whereas interest can exist on any emotional tone level) or by
misusing the mood of one game in others concurrently played.

A game is any state of beingness wherein exist awareness,
problems, havingness and freedom (separateness) each in some
degree. A game is rehabilitated or a no-game-condition eradicated
in processing by handling the elements of games and their
subdivision, with reality, with the intention of bettering the
game ability of the preclear.

HAVINGNESS

The Remedy of Havingness

There is a great deal of upper-echelon theory connected with the
Remedy of Havingness as a process, for here we are dealing with
energy and the reasons and operations of a thetan in regard to it.

Just why a thetan should get himself so completely snarled
up in energy might be an entire mystery to anyone who did not
realize that a thetan has to cut down his knowingness and
his total presence in order to have a game. The awareness of
awareness unit builds space to cut down knowingness. Space
makes it necessary, then, to look at something in order to
know about it. The next thing a thetan does to cut down his
knowingness is to create energy and to pass it to other thetans
and to bring in the energy of other thetans so as to get a duration
and a time-span. If the thetan is successful and obtains a game
in this wise, he continues on with this modus operandi of having
a game, and when he does not have a game he simply cuts his
knowingness down once more. Of course, he reaches a point
eventually where he does not get a game simply by cutting down
his knowingness, and eventually assumes a fairly fixed, stupid,
aspect. He is below the level of having games, but because he
has cut down his knowingness he does not know, now, that he
is below the level of having games and thinks that all that
is necessary to get another game is to further cut down his
knowingness. He is by this time obsessively dramatizing the
lowering of knowingness.

When one speaks of knowingness, one should realize that one
is speaking of an embracive thing. Everything on the Know to
Mystery Scale is simply a greater condensation or reduction of
Knowingness. At first one simply knows. Then he makes some
space and some energy, and so now he has

144

knowingness in terms of looking. By changing the position of the
particles of energy thus created, and by exchanging particles
with others, extant or self-created, the thetan cuts down his
knowingness further, and gets time, and so gets emotion and
sensation. When these become solid, he has effort particles
and masses. Now, he could cut down his knowingness further by
refusing to use emotion and effort, but by thinking about them,
thus introducing new vias into his line of knowingness. And,
when he no longer knows entirely by thinking, he ceases to
create knowingness and begins to eat, and from eating he drops
into the ready-made sensation of sex instead of knowing what
happens in the future. And from here he drops down into
postulated mystery as something one cannot possibly know
about. In other words, one gets a continued reduction of
knowingness in order to have games. The greatest chess player in
the world has no game, since he can predict that he will win and
predict everything that opponents will do, so he will simply
demonstrate how to play chess. Sooner or later, he will announce
that he is "burned out" or has lost his knack for playing chess,
and will go off into some other field where he can have a game.
The field he will choose will be a less wisdom-demanding field
than playing chess. A boxer, such as some of the very great
ones of the past, will reduce his timing, which is to say his
knowingness of arrival, to a point where he can at least put on
a good exhibition, and from this they will further reduce their
knowingness, and then not noticing how far they have gone, get
themselves thoroughly and consistently beaten. There will be a
period, however, when they are fairly evenly matched against
their opponents.

To understand this with any thoroughness, one would have to
recognize the intention back of all communication. Creation,
Survival, and Destruction is knowingness. When somebody talks
to you his intention is to continue in a parity where he can
have an interchange of communication, which is to say a game.
He takes knowingness from you, and gives knowingness to you,
with one form of communication or

145

another. Two soldiers fighting and shooting at each other are
using a bullet to make the other man know. What is there to
know in this situation? That one is dead, of course, and for the
victor, that one has won.

It is dangerous, alike, to a thetan, to have too many wins or
too many losses. Give him too many wins, and he will correct in
the direction of reducing his knowingness as represented by his
dexterity, his prediction, his activity. Give him too many losses
and he will seek another game, even to the point where he will
die and pick up another body. Because the decision is on the
basis of knowingness, the decision is always downward. One
does not decide upward toward greater knowingness, actually,
unless one has the full and complete intention of winning in a
new game. If one discovers that there are no wins or losses either
to be found in this new game, even to the point of forgetting all
of his knowledge concerning it, one will reduce one's own
knowingness in order to ensure a game.

As there is not a infinity of games in progress, one is apt, as
he comes down seventy-four trillion years of track, to play out
the available games and to put them in the category of "it must
not happen again". One then becomes bored. One is only bored when
there is no game possible, from his viewpoint. Actually, all
he has to do is become enthusiastic about the game on his own
consideration and he will begin to know more about it again.

A thetan considers that some form or mass is necessary in order
to have a game. He gets into the belief that he cannot create
new masses, and so he begins to hold on to old masses, and here,
whether he is exteriorized or in a body, we find him holding on
hard to old facsimiles, old significances, old decisions, rather
than take on new decisions.

The Remedy of Havingness directly addresses the problems of
giving the thetan something 'to play with'. When he discovers
that he can have new masses, he will begin to let go of old
masses. It is an easily observed phenomenon while having a
preclear Remedy Havingness, that old engrams go

146

into restimulation, go into restimulation and run out, that they
show up in front of his face and suddenly explode or disappear.
The Remedy of Havingness actively does run out engrams.

This process is used from boredom up to conservatism for its
best results.

This process is done by asking the preclear to mock up
something and pull it in, or mock up something and throw it
away. When a thetan is exteriorized, if you want to see him get
very unhappy, make him change space until he begins to lose
all the energy he is holding on to, and then fail to remedy his
havingness. The thetan will become convinced that he is only a
thought, and is therefore, by his standards unable to have a
game. Tell him to mock up eight anchor points in the form of the
corners of a cube around him and pull them in upon himself. Ask
him to do it several more times, and he immediately brightens
up and becomes very happy. Why is this? You have reassured him
that he can have a game.

The cutting down of knowingness and the Remedy of Havingness
have opposite vectors. The Remedy of Havingness will knock out
old energy masses the thetan is holding on to, or that the body
is holding on to, which tell the thetan he is stupid. The
supplanting of these by new energy masses which do not have the
postulate of cut-down knowingness in them of course makes the
thetan brighter.

When you find a theory detached from a process and not
demonstrating itself in a process there must be something wrong
with the theory. Similarly, if what I say here about condensed
knowingness being all other things, and the cut-down of
knowingness, were not demonstrated in the process of Remedy
of Havingness, then we would have to get ourselves a new theory.
However, this is demonstrated very definitely. For those
people who cannot remedy havingness wherever they are on the
tone scale can be brought to a point where they will remedy
havingness simply by asking them what they wouldn't mind
knowing. The consideration of what they are willing to know
then begins to rise.

147

If you only could see a "black five" operate you would see that
his barriers are all erected toward knowing something. Of course
he is very afraid of being told something bad, and so doesn't
want to be told anything at all, and when the auditor gives
him a command he never receives the command as given, but does
something else. He has a block up against knowingness to such a
degree that he will eventually permit himself to be pressed into
complete inactive stupidity. What are those black screens for?
Basically to keep him from knowing. Knowing what? Then one
will have to look closely at the definition of a datum. A datum
is an invention which has become agreed upon and so solidified. In
other words, a datum is to some degree a solidity, even if it is
merely a symbol. To get into this state it has to be agreed upon.
When it is thoroughly agreed upon it becomes, then, a truth. It is
not at all a truth. It is an invention. What made it sure or what
made it real was the fact that it was agreed upon. This opens the
doors further to other processes.

In order to get the preclear in good condition we would have
to put him into some kind of a condition so that he could create.
The first thing he is liable to be able to create in auditing is
a lie. The word lie is simply invention with a bad connotation.
Society gives invention that connotation because of its anxiety
to have a game and to agree, and so be able to communicate with
one another.

Thus society frowns upon the invention of facts, yet the
preclear's sanity and continued happiness absolutely depend
upon his ability to create new facts. The technique which
remedies this is included in "The Creation of Sanity", number
R2-29: "Start lying". One can vary this auditing command with
"Tell me some lies about your past", and then keep the preclear
at it long enough so that the preclear is able to come out of
the complete blur which will follow on the heels of his taking
over the function of and running of his memory machines. The
invention of data is a step immediately toward the remedy of
havingness. Simply asking the preclear what he wouldn't mind
knowing, what he wouldn't

148

mind having other people knowing about him will bring him into
a condition where he can mock up and remedy havingness.

The Remedy of Havingness is the companion process to Spotting
Spots, which will be taken up in the next PAB. The Remedy of
Havingness, simply as a process by itself, if worked up to by
getting the preclear willing to know things, and willing for
other people to know things, and run thoroughly so that whole
avalanches of masses can pour into him or pour out of him, will
actually run out an entire engram bank, and thus is an extremely
valuable process.

It has been reported by several auditors that exteriorization was
accomplished on preclears by making them remedy havingness
and do nothing else for eight or ten hours.

The auditing commands for the Remedy of Havingness are: "Mock
up something", "Pull it in", until the preclear is doing this
easily. Then, "Mock up something", "Throw it away", until the
preclear can do this easily. The significance of the object may be
added by the auditor with "Pull in an ideal body", or some such
thing, but the actual fact is that the actual significance does
nothing for the preclear. It is the mass which counts. The auditor
can have the preclear pull things in two at a time, six at a
time. He can have the preclear mock up something, copy it a dozen
times, one time after another, then pull in the whole mass, but
the real reason he is doing this with the preclear should never
drop from sight. The auditor is remedying havingness in order
to give the preclear enough mass to permit him to discard old
masses which he is holding on to and doesn't know anything about.

Remedy of Havingness -- The Process

"When in doubt, remedy Havingness."

This is a motto which can well be followed by an auditor doing
any process on the preclear.

149

But, if there is a process which one should do with any other
process, then that process would be understood thoroughly, for if
done incorrectly it would be likely to produce confusion into all
the other processes of Dianetics and Scientology.

Therefore, in the first place, let us examine with rigor the
name of this process. It is REMEDY OF HAVINGNESS. By "remedy"
one means the correction of any aberrated condition. By
"havingness" one means mass or objects. The process could also
be called "Remedy of Unhavingness." It could also be called
"Remedy of Acceptingness." It could also be called "Remedy of
Rejectingness."

To those people who are deficient in Havingness, the process is
liable to mean that the auditor should increase the Havingness
of the preclear. Such an auditor with the misunderstanding would
have the preclear put up large masses and push them into his body
or himself. The auditor would neglect having the preclear throw
away objects and masses.

If the auditor misunderstood the process and simply assumed
that it had something to do with Havingness, and if his own
Havingness were too great, he would be likely to specialize on
all preclears by having the preclear throw things away.

Actually, the auditor should have the preclear push things
into himself and his body and throw things away from himself and
his body until the preclear can do both with equal ease. When
this has been accomplished the preclear's Havingness has been
"remedied".

What, then, does a Remedy of Havingness mean? It means the
remedy of a preclear's native ability to acquire things at will
and reject them at will. Amongst the Havingnesses which would
require remedy, would be an obsessive inflow of money, sexual
objects, troubles, somatics, and difficulties in general. Whenever
one of these appeared in the preclear's environment it would have
a tendency to inflow on the preclear. The reverse difficulty would
be an obsessive outflow,

150

whereby the preclear threw away or wasted anything which he had,
such as money, clothes, cars, or living quarters. When the
process "Remedy of Havingness" has been done thoroughly and
completely, the preclear should be able to reject or accept, at
his own discretion, anything in his environment as well as anything
in the engram bank.

The earliest use of this process is to be found in GITA which
is to say "Give and Take Processing," one of the early SOP's,
which became an SOP-8 "Expanded GITA." In Issue 16-G of the
Journal of Scientology we have a long list of key items. The
preclear was asked to waste, accept, and desire these items at
will. This was the Desire-Enforcement-Inhibit Scale, or DEI
Scale. This process is the immediate ancestor of the Remedy of
Havingness. Indeed, one could do far worse than to take the DEI
Expanded GITA list as given in Issue 16-G, and in the form of
mock-ups use it as such upon the preclear, or more modernly
employ it directly on the Remedy of Havingness on these objects.

If one were to employ such a list in the Remedy of Havingness,
one would, of course, have to employ gradient scales. The use
of the gradient scale has never been discarded, and the concept
and principle of doing things by gradient scales is inherent in
auditing itself, for one starts with a process which the preclear
can do, and gives him some wins, and on a gradual scale gives
him larger and larger wins until he is cleared. Similarly, in
remedying Havingness, the preclear must be started at the lowest
end of the scale and advanced on up to the higher ends of the
scale. Quantity is one of the methods of doing this. At first one
can ask a preclear to mock up one of an item and shove it into his
body or throw it away, and then go, finally, when he is doing that
well, to two items, three, four, five, six, all the same, but a
greater quantity of the item. An even lower gradient on this scale
would be to simply get the idea that something was there, and to
progress on forward with the idea into the actual mass. An expert
auditor working with this from the

151

idea on through to the object would discover that he had no
preclears who could not mock up.

He would have the preclear get the idea out in front of him of a
ball, and get the idea of the ball being thrown away; get the idea
of a ball up in front of him and get the idea of a ball coming in.
He would then, when the preclear could do this excellently, move
forward into the actual mock-up of a ball. The mock-up would
get better and better as the process progressed, until at last
the preclear could mock up and throw away or push into his body,
at will a ball. He would be able to see this ball, even feel its
texture and its weight.

Now, exteriorization by Remedy of Havingness is a newer
process than the old Remedy of Havingness. It is accomplished
by having the preclear SHOVE or PUSH things into his body.
One no longer has the preclear PULL things into his body.
Simply by having the preclear mock up things and shove them
into his body, mock them up and throw them away, mock things
up and shove them into his body, mock things up and throw
them away, a preclear, who has already been run on the earlier
steps of the six basic processes, will, at this stage exteriorize
quite neatly after as little as fifteen or twenty minutes of the
process. If he does not, then the earlier processes have been
skimped and the preclear was really not ready for a full,
forthright remedy of Havingness.

Even when doing Route 1, the preclear is told to push things
into himself. This will rather take his flitter away for a
moment, for he is there being one viewpoint, and in order to push
something into himself, he has to be a second viewpoint. In view
of the fact that a thetan gets into trouble by being only one
viewpoint, this remedies the viewpoint scarcity of the thetan,
and he pushes himself up into two viewpoints with great rapidity.
Thus we are doing duplication of the thetan at the same time that
we are remedying Havingness, so one even has the thetan shove
things into himself, rather than pull things into himself.

In short, one never has anyone pull things into his body any
more. One has people push things into the body. One

152

has, for instance, the preclear mock up a planet, and push it into
the body; mock up a planet and throw it away; mock up a planet
and push it into his body; and then one says, "Where are you
pushing it from?" The preclear says: "Out here in front of the
body." The auditor simply goes on doing the process, and very
shortly the preclear will, if the earlier steps have been done
well -- the Six Basic Processes below Remedy of Havingness --
exteriorize neatly and will be ready for Route 1.

One would omit, in such an instance, running Spotting Spots
as such, for Change of Space Processing and Communication
Processing has a great deal to do with spotting spots already.

If you were to do Remedy of Havingness forthrightly and
all-out, and you were to accept this as the only process we had,
we would work with its cousin process R2-63 as given in "The
Creation of Human Ability," "Accept -- Reject." One would ask
the preclear for things he could accept, one after the other
until the communication lag was flat, and then would ask the
preclear for things he could accept, one after the other until
the communication lag was flat, and then would ask the preclear
for things he could reject, one after the other until the
communication lag was flat on that. One would then move into
the Expanded GITA list and would have the preclear mock up
and shove into his body (if interiorized) or into himself (if
exteriorized) the various items on the Expanded GITA list as
given in Issue 16-G of the Journal of Scientology. This would
be a long process, and not entirely successful on all counts,
but would nevertheless be a very effective and efficient process
from the standpoint of gain. One would certainly get the preclear
over a very large number of aberrations and would do a great deal
for him. However, this is not the advised way of handling this
process, for the process itself is not an end-all. Aberrations
can be handled much more easily by Communication Processing.

The exact use and commands of Remedy of Havingness in
ordinary and routine auditing is simple and effective. One

153

has been asking a preclear a great many questions which "as-ised"
large masses of energy. One, in handling Change of Space or
interiorization and Exteriorization into objects while the
preclear is exteriorized, has been "burning up" large masses of
energy. Any time the preclear begins to feel dopey or "boil off"
he has either run too long on a flow in one direction, in which
case reverse the flow, or he has simply reduced his havingness
down to a point where he feels tired or sleepy. Without waiting
for this manifestation to occur the good auditor simply in the
course of Straight Wire or Description Processing, or many
other processes, such as those contained in Route One, remedies
Havingness. Having achieved something like a momentarily flat
communication lag on a process, the auditor says to the preclear:
"Mock up a mass out in front of you." When the preclear has done
this, the auditor says: "Shove it into your body." When the
preclear has done so, the auditor says: "Mock up another mass
out in front of you." And when the preclear has done so, the
auditor says: "Throw it away." That, as given, is for preclears
who are interiorized. It is simply repeated over and over. The
mass is not specified. It can be almost anything, and in fact
it does not matter much what type of significance the mass has.
Any mass is better than no mass, according to the thetan.

If the preclear is exteriorized, the auditor already starts
him on the Remedy of Havingness in the Route One step where the
preclear is asked to copy what he is looking at (R1-5). When
one is doing R1-5 one must be very careful to obey the gradient
scale principle behind Remedy of Havingness. One would not make
the preclear make twenty copies and then push all of them into
himself or the body. One would make the preclear make two or
three copies and push them in, one at a time, until the preclear
could remedy his Havingness with ease.

The auditor would then have the preclear mock up a mass and
"Shove it into yourself." And then: "Mock up a mass

154

and throw it away," and do this back and forth until the preclear
could do this easily and well, at which time the auditor would
tell the preclear: "Mock up two masses and shove them into
yourself," and then, "Mock up two masses and throw them away,"
until finally the auditor has the preclear mock up eight masses
as though they were the corners of a cube around the preclear,
and "Shove them into yourself," and then "Mock up eight masses
and throw them away."

One must remember that in spite of the fact that he cannot
duplicate mass actually as himself, having no space or mass,
natively, the motto of the thetan is "anything is better than
nothing." When you tear up a lot of facsimiles for a thetan and
throw them away, he becomes very unhappy unless you have him
reconstruct those facsimiles or remedy the mass according to
what he has lost. When you are having a thetan go into and out
of MEST universe masses, a certain amount of energy is burned
up, and after a thetan has been run for a short time on this
step (R1-9 in the "Creation of Human Ability"), one must be
particularly careful to remedy his Havingness with eight masses
shoved into himself and eight masses thrown away, several
times. A thetan who has been run a great deal without Remedy
of Havingness comes to what is to him a horrible thought: "I am
just a concept", and he will sag in tone. He does not come to
this state as long as Havingness is consistently remedied.

It may be, as one looks at Scientology, that one has come to
the opinion, watching Remedy of Havingness work, that all there
is to anything is the Remedy of Havingness, that it is all based
on the Remedy of Havingness. If one has a preclear shove enough
Havingness into his body he will exteriorize in most cases. If
one remedies enough Havingness while the thetan is chasing around
the universe, as in the Grand Tour, the thetan will discover and
as-is a great many communication lines which otherwise might
be very detrimental. However, it is not true that Havingness
is the entire key to the

155

Human mind. Havingness is the "gimmick" or "weenie" for which
the game is played, and having something is very much like winning.

Above Havingness there is Doingness, and above Doingness
there is Beingness, and above Beingness there is
Communicatingness, and above Communicatingness there is
Knowingness, and above Knowingness there is Postulatingness.
We see, thus, that we have a long way to go above Havingness in
order to get to the top activity of a thetan, which is making
postulates or unmaking them.

One could, of course, rationalize each and every action of
the thetan with regard to Havingness. One could even extend
Havingness to space, although it normally refers to objects. One
could do all manner of interesting things with Havingness. One
could get as specific and as significant as one likes, or as
unsignificant as one likes and still find Remedy of Havingness
working, but we do not have here, in Remedy of Havingness, the
total clue, total key. But we do have a process and an item which
must not be overlooked in auditing.

In the Six Basic Processes, the Remedy of Havingness comes
after the Opening Procedure by Duplication as a process, itself,
but remember that Remedy of Havingness is done and can be done
at any time during any other process as long as the preclear
is even vaguely in communication with the auditor. It does not
matter how vague the mass is that the preclear is using to remedy
his Havingness. Here is a place where certainty is not necessary.
An unreal, vague, or flimsy mass, if this is all the preclear can
get, will still remedy his havingness.

A case comes to mind out of the Advanced Clinical Course,
where a student was unwilling, after his second day, to continue
his studies. He did not believe that he could stand the "hammer
and pound", as he put it, of the terrifically intense schedule. I
took him into my office, asked him what he was doing in life,
and he replied to me that he was a

156

machinist. Also, it seemed to turn out that he had something to
do with a ship which had sunk under him, although his recollection
of this was very unclear. I asked him what kind of a machine he
had customarily run, and he told me. Then I had him mock up this
machine, and remedied his Havingness with it. Then I had him
mock up the ship and remedied his Havingness with that, just
as given above. I did this for about fifteen minutes, and
enough change occurred in his case to entirely return his
confidence in his ability to stand up to the course and to audit.
Yet the mockups he was getting were so thin that he could barely
vaguely discern them at all.

Mockups get unreal because the thetan is Not-Ising existence.
He is trying to destroy masses by saying that they do not exist,
that they are not real. He is so bent upon this system of
destruction that he is making everything unreal or black. One of
the cures for this is End of Cycle Processing run in the following
fashion:

One has the preclear mock himself up dead (no matter how
unreal the mockup is). Then have the mockup waste away to
bone, and have the bones waste away to dust, and then have the
preclear shove the dust into himself, or alternately, throw
it away. One once more has the preclear mock himself up dead,
have the mockup waste away to bone, have the bones waste
away to dust, and then have the preclear remedy his Havingness
with the dust. One continues this for two or three hours with the
preclear if one really wishes the case to make a change. Where a
preclear is getting no reality on mockups or blackness he is most
commonly stuck in that Para-Scientological thing, that thing
horribly abhorred by psychologists who have become Dianeticists,
or by people who are just plain scared, a past death. If you
wanted to convince somebody that past deaths exist, you would
run End of Cycle Processing on them. This is a cousin process
to the Remedy of Havingness. One could go a very long distance
with this process and have the preclear mock up his mother dead,
have her waste away to bones, and remedy Havingness with

157

the dust, or do this with the dust, or do this with the father or
brothers, or grandparents, with a considerable change in the case.

This End of Cycle Processing, by the way, is a very fine
process. It has been with us about a year and it has been
successful whenever used. It has a tendency to fall into disuse
because it has not, until now, had an exact place on the Six Basic
Processes. But End of Cycle is actually an additional process to
the Remedy of Havingness and is an effective way of remedying
Havingness. Do you remember in the old days the Dianetics "Corpse
Case," who would lie upon the couch with his arms crossed neatly
all ready for a lily, and would always audit in this fashion?
The solution to this corpse case is End of Cycle Processing, as
given here. The preclear is so fixed in a death that he is trying
to make everything unreal, and the only real thing, to him, would
be the unreality of death.

The Importance of Havingness

A careful study of staff auditors' reports reveals that the
only advances worthy of the name of Scientology occur when the
auditor repairs or remedies havingness on the preclear. Without
the repair and remedy of havingness no real gains become
apparent. A preclear will not progress when his havingness is
impaired.

What are the symptoms of loss of havingness? Running any
as-ising techniques the preclear may become anaten, slightly
nervous, agitated, want a cigarette, or seem to break out of
the session in some fashion. In either case, he is "down on
havingness". In other words he has burned up, used up, or
as-ised, too much of his physical body energy in the auditing
itself. In view of the fact that every subjective technique puts
a sort of hole in the middle of the electronic mass surrounding a
preclear, parts of that mass then begin to cave in on the preclear.
Thus running an as-ising technique on a preclear beyond the
ability of the preclear to sustain the consequent loss of
havingness will bring on in the preclear

158

many new engrams which he did not have before. A technique
which as-ises energy, if used without a repair or remedy of
havingness, will bring about a worsening of the case of a
preclear.

Now exactly what is happening is very simple. A preclear starts
to go anaten and the auditor keeps on running the process. He
hasn't realised that he ought to interrupt a process at any time
if the preclear demonstrates a loss of havingness. Anaten is such
a demonstration of loss of havingness. All right, another example:
the preclear becomes agitated or upset; he reaches for a cigarette;
he begins to twitch; his foot begins to wobble; he begins to talk
excitedly; he begins to cough while being audited. All of these
things demonstrate a loss of havingness. These same conditions
by the way, can result from the preclear believing that the auditor
has broken the auditor's code in some fashion or has overcome
his power of choice. Both a repair and remedy of havingness are
immediately indicated on the observation of anaten or agitation
on the part of the preclear. In addition the auditor should
carefully go over the session itself to find out, if anywhere,
the preclear believed his power of choice was being overcome, or
if the preclear believed the auditor's code had been broken. You
understand that the auditor didn't necessarily have to overcome
the preclear's power of choice or break the auditor's code in order
that the preclear should believe that this had happened. However,
this could be overlooked entirely if the auditor had been careful
enough to repair or remedy the havingness of the preclear.

The slightest drop of alertness on the part of the preclear, or
the slightest agitation or somatic, should immediately indicate
to the auditor that havingness has dropped and must be immediately
repaired or remedied. A great deal of time can be spent on the
subject of repair and remedy of havingness, and it is time spent
with great benefit. It is better to "waste" time spent repairing
and remedying havingness than to blunder on through. Now there is
another thing I have noticed with regard to this. Auditors are
running these days toward cognition. Very well, if they expect a
preclear to

159

cognite they should not expect him to pull in a bank upon
himself. If an auditor runs a very obvious process which should
bring the preclear toward cognition, runs it several auditing
commands and then stops and repairs and remedies the preclear's
havingness, and then after that asks him the same auditing
question two more times, he will discover that he has blown
a cognition into view. In other words you could remedy the
havingness of a preclear while his mind was on one particular
subject and bring a cognition into existence.

This becomes particularly important today, since a few months
ago I discovered that you could remedy the havingness of
anybody, and I mean just that!! You can remedy anybody's
havingness and you can turn on mockups on anybody. In view of
the fact that the preclear who has a black field can be caused
to mock up blacknesses or invisibilities and shove them into his
body brings us into an era of being able to make anybody turn on
mockups. By getting the preclear to postulate that the mocked up
blackness is bad for the body, will cause that blackness to snap
into the body. By getting the preclear to postulate that the
invisible mass he has mocked up is bad for the body it will snap
into the body. Of course, after this has been done a few times,
the consideration of the preclear will change. Then perhaps the
blackness or invisibility will only snap in when the preclear
postulates that it is good for the body. He may also have a
residue left. It is very important to get rid of these repair
and remedy of havingness residues. By various postulates such as
that the residue is a threat to the body: it is good for the body;
it is bad for the body, the residue too will snap in.

Let's differentiate at once here the difference between a repair
of havingness and a remedy of havingness. We used to call repair
of havingness "giving him some havingness". It needs a better
technical term. Therefore let us call this "Repair of Havingness".
It means having the preclear mock up anything he can mock up,
and in any way it can be done get him to shove (never pull) that
mock up into the body, and

160

by similar means to get rid of the residue which went along with
the mockup. That is a repair of havingness. It is a one-way flow;
it is an inflow.

Now a remedy of havingness is getting him to mock up and
shove into the body enough masses to bring him to a point where
he can eventually throw one away. In other words repair or
havingness is simply having him mock up things and have him
shove them into the body and a remedy of havingness is having
him mock up and shove in and throw away the same type of mock
up. Remedy of havingness is always a superior operation to a
repair of havingness. Repair of havingness is a very crude
stopgap, but can be used any time. However, a preclear who is
working well, and on whom havingness can be remedied, should,
at all times, have his havingness remedied, not repaired. In
other words any type of mock up should be both shoved into
the body and mocked up and thrown away. This should be done in
considerable quantity until the preclear is quite relaxed about
that particular type of mock up. One does this, remember, every
time the attention of the preclear drops, or he becomes agitated.

There is one other little point connected with this which is quite
important, and that is auditors very often audit a preclear into an
area of time when the preclear exteriorized. This, on a preclear
who does not exteriorize easily, brings on a considerable grief
and sadness. The way to get rid of this is, of course, to remedy
the preclear's havingness or only repair it, and to ask the preclear
to recall times when he was not exteriorized. This will bring up
at once times when he did exteriorize and where fear of
exteriorization was built up considerably.

I have noticed another special condition regarding this
exteriorization phenomena which is quite important. A preclear
will occasionally repair and remedy havingness up to a point
where the body disappears for him. He doesn't quite know where
to put the mass he has mocked up since he cannot find the body.
This is particularly true of preclears

161

who have a very low threshold on havingness. An auditor would
be stupid indeed to simply plow along beyond that point where
the preclear has already said that he couldn't find any body to
push any havingness into. The moment the preclear does that the
auditor should suspect that the preclear has gotten into an
exteriorization type incident. It is not, however, necessary that
he immediately flounder around and try to find this incident as
recommended in the paragraphs just above. He can also repair
and remedy havingness in this fashion, and it is very important
to know this. Although it is disastrous for a preclear to be asked
"What could your body have," since he will simply strip the bank
of various old facsimiles, it is a very, very good repair of
havingness to ask a preclear "What is there around this room
(area) which your body could have," and then have him pick out
specific objects in the environment which he says the body could
have. If he does this he will come up the gradient scale of
havingness, and his havingness will be repaired immediately or
directly on the Sixth Dynamic. A preclear who cannot get mock
ups and where the auditor has either been too clumsy to get the
preclear's mock ups turned on, or it really was impossible, more
or less, the preclear's havingness can be repaired by having him
do this process. So this is a very, very important process, and
one that ought to go down in red letters.

This whole subject of repair and remedy of havingness and its
effect upon auditing, and the fact that it has not been stressed
at all in training, being up there at level six in the old Basic
Processes, brings us to SLP Issue 8. The entirety of level one
in SLP 8 will be devoted to the repair and remedy of havingness.

In SLP Issue 7 we have a great many phenomena associated
with the remedy of the body's havingness. The reason for their
position is to bring about an adjustment of the condition of the
body before one goes on to other and more complicated ways of
processing. Now, in Issue 8, all of these various things will
be retained, but they will be

162

paralleled with a complete remedy of havingness and that particular
level of SLP will be gone over. In actual experience it is
better to remedy the havingness of a preclear, no matter where
he is on the tone scale, and no matter by what process, than to
run any significant process. Further, if a preclear cannot at
least repair his havingness, to run Waterloo Station is to invite
disaster because in this particular process of level 2 he is liable
to get himself into a "down havingness" situation and of course
will not be able to not-know anything. He may be chewing up
too much energy or trying to not-know. Thus we would have the
failures which have occasionally occurred in Waterloo Station.
They were simply havingness failures, not a failure of Waterloo
Station. Further there has been a new command suggested for
Waterloo Station: "What would you be willing to not-know
about that person?" This seems to be a better command, at
least for the British Isles.

We also take care of the vacuums and separatenesses and
everything else with repair or remedy of havingness and running
it in with certain other things, such as problems, etc. When
we discover by two-way communication a weak universe, we could
then ask the individual preclear "Invent a problem that person
(weak universe) could be to you." Then, watching him very
carefully, and repairing his havingness on the subject of that
person's possessions, get a very rapid separation of universes. I
have noticed that the weak universe came about when the person
elected by the preclear to be a weak universe first began to put
mest anchor points around the preclear. In other words, valuable
presents. I am as pleased as can be to get a finger on this point
and I know well that if east, west, north and south, would begin
to repair and remedy havingness, and stop specializing in
significances, without repair or remedy of havingness, we
are going to start shooting people up to the top of these
Scientometric graphs. We can't help it. Let me call your attention
specifically to the old phenomena of the emotional scale and the
engram. We find out that when one engram was keyed in it fixed
the

163

emotional tone of the individual. Then we had him run this and
as he converted the engram to usable havingness, we found that
his tone rose. We discover on these Scientometric charts that the
"unhappy" section does not move if we don't change the mass of
the preclear.

Sacrifices

The latest news from the research front has to do with the fact
that the GE demands and requires and has to have, evidently,
sacrifices. The GE does not run on an overt act-motivator
sequence, which makes one suspect he is not a thetan. A GE
runs exclusively on being sacrificed to. If you have the preclear
mock up sacrifices to the GE, you will find these become
very readily assimilated. On a lower level the body accepts
motivators; as soon as it is through this motivator band, it
accepts sacrifices and finally comes up to a point where it will
accept live bodies. When one considers that eating is entirely
a matter of absorbing death, one sees this death hunger in
processing by running Sacrifices. A person who has had bad legs
should have a sacrifice of legs run on him and so forth. This is
astonishing material. It is almost unbelievable that the GE will
not be sacrificed to anything, but will only be sacrificed to,
and this phenomenon that the GE is thereby demanding death tells
us at once that the Atomic Bomb will be used and that there are
people in the world who will actually crave this sacrifice of
cities and even nations. Aside from being a fantastically workable
process, more of which anon, this matter of sacrifices tells us
at once a great deal about the future. There will be no moral
restraint where the Atomic Bomb is concerned. For about the
highest level in some areas of the world is, to case, "operating
GE." This tells us, too, why soldiers will go to war. This
explains a great deal of conduct. The GE evidently operates on
the postulate that as long as anything else is alive it can't
live. However, it is becoming more and more doubtful that there
is any more life in the body than the thetan puts there,

164

and that the body is a single machine operating on some
implanted postulate contained in the energy masses which are
activated by the thetan somewhat on the order of the old "pole"
theta trap. Many of these considerations can be changed around
rather easily. Nothing changes them quite so fast as these
sacrifice processes. In mocking up sacrifices the auditor should
use all the skills of creative processing and ensure that the
preclear is actually mocking up and is not dragging in old
facsimiles from the bank and restimulating genetic line incidents.
This can be obviated by having the persons in the mock ups
dressed in modern clothing; mocking up the incident as
happening tomorrow; altering the mock up in some manner, such
as turning the face green or something of this nature. Any
reasonable way in which you can ensure that you are dealing
with mock ups and not past track facsimiles.

This gives auditors another tool with which to handle chronic
somatics.

There is another process which has a great deal of workability
with chronic somatics. I know that some months ago and earlier
than that it seemed rather fatal to us to continue to fixate the
preclear's attention on the chronic somatic. But that is not a
problem with us right now. It ceased to be a problem the moment
I invented an auditing command exactly as follows: "Invent a
problem that (leg. arm, nose, eye, body) could be to you."
Running this command, which is in itself a sort of remedy of
havingness, and repairing and remedying the havingness of the
preclear as we go, we will discover that practically any and all
phenomena associated with the service facsimile will come away
and clear up and the limb, nose or eye will get well. This can
be used as a word of warning: ONLY ON ACTUAL TERMINALS. Never
use this command, and I mean NEVER, on actual conditions. Never
ask him to invent problems lameness could be to him. Never ask
him what problem blindness could be to him. Lameness and blindness
are conditions. We want to know what problems legs or eyes can
be to him, since

165

legs and eyes are terminals. In running this command we reduce
havingness too rapidly whenever we are stressing conditions.
Therefore we run it only on terminals. In running it use only
terminals. Handled in this way we do have the answer as of this
moment, to chronic somatics. With these processes in SLP and
the adequate repair and remedy of havingness we can push our
preclears right up through the top.
