The clearsound set includes an Appendix containing two HCOBs.  This
has been included with the first lecture above.

Note that old 15B "Q & A PERIOD" of 2 Aug 58 was marked as missing in
the Flag Master List and was later found by Gold.  Its absense here
probably means that they found it to be the same as old 16A (20ACC-28
in the above list).

Old number 19B "Q & A Period" of 8 Aug in the Flag Master List
is also omitted but 20ACC-32 (old 19A) is extremely long and probably
contains both old 19A and 19B.

Note 20ACC-2 (1A) does not appear on the Flag Master List but
appears to be genuine.

We were able to check ten of these against the old reels and
found minor omissions [marked ">" in the transcripts.]

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association

20ACC-27 (16)   4 Aug 58 CASE ANALYSIS - ROCK HUNTING (cont. 2)

CASE ANALYSIS - ROCK HUNTING (cont. 2)

[The old reel is titled "Case Analysis Continued".]

A lecture given on 4 August 1958

[Clearsound, checked against the old reel.  Omissions
marked ">".]

Hiya.

Audience: Hi.

Any of you developing into good Rock hounds? You haven't
had a chance, much. You got them all.

This is the sixteenth lecture, the 20th ACC, August the
4th, 1958. Continuing case analysis - Rock hounding.

The length of time that it takes to run a Rock has not been
accurately estimated, but twelve hours on a Rock is not an
awful lot. Some Rocks have blown within twelve hours - some.
But apparently - apparently you could count on something in
excess of twelve hours. Perhaps even twenty-five hours.
Some Rocks if - most cases are doing it - are in excess of
twelve and some Rocks might take fifty. Just to give you
some sort of an idea.

The main barrier to the running of the Rock is the auditor,
not the preclear. Just before Rocks go, preclears very
often become terribly irresponsible, very upset and make a
commotion concerning the Rock. But this is easily handled.
Anybody who passed Upper Indoc, you just put them in the
chair and run the Rock some more. You don't run something
else. At that time, especially, you don't run something else.

After you've gotten a Rock to stick you don't go on
scouting. You prove the thing up if you wish, which I will
talk about in this lecture, but you don't, after you've
proven it up, particularly go on scouting. If you go on
scouting, you can go on scouting and, of course, you're
sitting right there all the time looking at the Rock and so
you can go on scouting, which comes down to simple avoidance.

If a Rock does not seem reasonable to you, if the pc
doesn't seem to know much about it, if the difficulties of
running it are apparently insurmountable, you run the Rock.

Now Rocks are Rocks. There's been one case so far that has
an actual rock for a Rock. I think the original derivation
of Rock did include the fact that the needle becomes steady
and rock-like. But sometimes when you've merely found it on
a scout, you have a needle which no longer surges, no
longer drops particularly, but which does have some width
of motion. This is not true usually after a Rock has been
run for a while; it does then steady down to a very fixed
position and doesn't wobble around much more. It'll
continue in that state for some hours of running and then,
evidently, one leg of it may free and then seize up again.

Now, the thing to do whenever at least one leg frees is to
check. If you find the other leg still fixed you can drop
out the free leg if you wish, but it does no harm to leave
it in - of the bracket - the command which gets a free needle.

Now, you'll get into various difficulties in Rock hounding
and in Rock running. That chain of engram material which
contains basic-basic is known as the Rock, and it is a
chain and it does have branches. And the mind can become
very synonymic. And some split-off may occur in the word,
the symbol used.

I will give you an example, an example that I am very well
aware of: arm, which is a bad Rock. It is a bad Rock
because an arm is a communication channel, not an emanation
point or object or terminal; an arm is a communication
line, not a terminal. This split off to an arm, meaning a
weapon, which, by the way, freezes down to being a gun, and
gun is apparently the precursor of all such weapons as
clubs, spears and other more barbaric tools. And other guns
are earlier on the track than knives, poniards, morning
stars and so forth, other items of delicacy which are in
use, along the particular track line.

Now because it is an engram chain it does have secondaries;
it does have locks. It will change its definition on you or
change its type of thing. Quite ordinarily you find
something late and it runs to something a bit earlier. Now
what really changes is not the type of item. What changes
is, the exact object is some other object, don't you see,
at first glance, and it settles down to a better definition
at times.

Now, factories or production machinery in the bank are
evidently quite early and very often may underlie an actual
item. But you must be aware of this with regard to
production machinery: that it is machinery and that your
preclear very often has the poorest sort of an idea of
machinery. And you may have a machine case which has no
reality of any kind on machinery. It is a machine which
causes the needle of the E-Meter to rise consistently and
constantly. That is a production machine.

Now, all cases in the final analysis break down to two
types of machine, and every case has both. It's something
for you to remember in finally smoothing up the case after
the Rock is run. There are two kinds of machinery and every
case has both. So that if you merely get an item at first,
realize that this item sooner or later is going to run down
to two types of machinery. And even though these will
hardly drop on the meter after you've gotten the Rock out,
they nevertheless will be to some degree present, and you
must always wind up the case with checking for and probably
running these two machines.

One of the machines is a production machine and the other
is a consumption machine. Those two machines are on every case.

It's interesting, it's fascinating to see that everybody is
obsessively creating on a via and everybody is obsessively
consuming on a via. Now, the character of these final
machines may be quite nebulous at first. At first, as we
address the case and try to do an analysis, we know that we
have two types of machines at work. One is a production
machine. It is making mental image pictures. And the other
is a consumption machine. It is eating them up or doing
something with them, you see? But the identity of these
machines is so far removed from the reality of the preclear
that we can only approach it, perhaps, on an item or a
failed machine or a machine scrapper or a machine breaker.

Now, it's quite interesting that men and women use this
mechanism to keep themselves mocked up. And you must
understand the procedure by which people mock themselves up
and keep themselves mocked up. The worst possible way to do
it is to take things, break them up and stuff them into the
mock-up. That is eatingness. But eatingness is simply a
method of keeping the mock-up mocked up. And there are many
systems by which people keep the body mocked up. Many
systems, some of them so oblique and so difficult to
realize, that as an auditor we have a rather rough time
trying to isolate how a machine scrapper or something that
scraps machines or breaks them up or makes them fail could
wind up keeping a body mocked up.

But you see, if we take machines and something mocks up
machines - that's a secondary via, you see; there's a
machine that mocks up machines and another machine that
breaks up the machines mocked up-we still have the illusion
of many bits and pieces being compounded into the body,
finally. That's one of the crazier things that people do.

They go out - the man, he wants his body to go on forever
if he possibly can, so he consumes death. You never sit
down to a meal but what you're eating death. That's an
interesting thing. If you tell a vegetarian this, something
like this, he practically screams himself to sleep every
night at the thought of eating meat or eating something
like that. But the funny part of it is the vegetarian is
just removed over into vegetable death; and he's killing
nuts and prunes and so forth just as thoroughly as anybody
ever killed anything, you see? So he actually hasn't
escaped this at all.

Now, to dine totally on death is to keep things mocked up?
Oh, no! But the very idiocy of it keeps a thetan from
looking at it and so he says, "Therefore, I will go on
being mocked up." His illogic is fantastic, utterly
fantastic. He groups himself together in nations and then
slaughters other nations and gets himself slaughtered in
nations over causes that have no basis in reality at all.

Now, there's nothing between me and the Arab races at all.
As a matter of fact, I like Arabs. Nobody's going to do
anything for an Arab: not with gifts, with training, with
finance, with politics or with armies. Nobody's going to do
anything for an Arab, except maybe you and I. He's been
going crazy steadily and gradually ever since he lost the
early very fertile basins of the Middle East. He's been
going crazy ever since he failed to learn wheat farming and
brought about the erosion of all of the fertile areas of
the Middle East. He wheat farms; he makes little straight
paths from the bottom of the gully straight up to the top
of the hill and then wonders someday why the hill washes
away. You can see where an Arab has been farming because it
is now a badlands out in the Middle East, just as
thoroughly a badlands as any we have in Oklahoma or you
have in Australia or South Africa.

In the middle of Spain you come across these badlands. They
are old wheat areas. All the soil is gone and only
this - firmer structures of the ground remain in place.

The Arab had several thousand years to learn this and he
never learned it. He never learned that he lost all of his
wheat land. It's fantastic - fantastic.

> He's going to kick out of North Africa, he tells you,
> everybody and the tourists will still come, and he can
> finance himself with new cars.  You ask him, you say,
> "Well, how do you suppose that tourists will keep coming

> Oh, new thought, new thought.  Then where will you get
> your new car?"  "Oh, new thought."  "Where will you get
> your gasoline?"  Oh, new thought.  Very fabulous.

Here's a race that has been going now for thousands of
years, one of the oldest civilized races on earth. People
think of the Indians as being the oldest civilized race,
but personally I doubt it. We'll have to look it up on the
time track sometime. But here were the people who gave us
arithmetic, who gave us music. The Greeks didn't give us
geometry; the Arab did. Here were the people who gave us
astronomy and practically everything else that we know of
as cultured civilization.

It's quite interesting, quite interesting to look back and
find what this particular Middle Eastern race, which is
really a potpourri of races who now inhabit these various
countries, gave us in terms of advancement and thought.
They gave us music, poetry, literature. The Greeks got it
from them. Here's something that goes clear back, all the
way back. Now, this may not be sound history but it's very
sound Scientology. This race has been going for a very, very
long time and has been eating death for a very long time
and it is death.

It once tried to conquer Europe in its entirety, and it
failed. And that was the high tide, the very high tide of
those races which in their conglomeracy you can call the
Arab races. Fascinating. They have eaten death too long.

> and now they bring death to the things they touch.

Some of their computations are so fabulous that you would
not be able to sound the depths with them. They will tell
you with a straight face that if they do so-and-so and
so-and-so then it'll be all right. If I jump in the well
and then I go up and dive out of a three-story window, why,
then I'll get over my demons and devils. Just talking to
them vis-a-vis - they're very interesting.

Now, they still handle the field of magic. They still talk
about jinns and so forth. They still talk about miracles.
And once in a while the French are totally startled out of
their wits to be talking to some Arab leader in some of the
French possessions and have the man dematerialize or
disappear or do something fantastic, you see? Now
whatever - whatever has happened here, it isn't logical.
Don't you see? It is not logical. To live they die. To die
they live. We have this identification all the way up and
down and backwards and forwards into their culture. Their
most civilized practices were placed at the service of
their most debased activities. It's quite amazing, you see?
But everything seems to contradict everything else, and
what you have here is almost a total identification.

One of the things that made this true is their collapse of
space - their desire to collapse space - their possession,
as a matter of fact, of too much space. These people are
collapsing space. And there are many ways you can collapse
space.

Now, I'm not talking about these people as any propaganda
activity. I am simply saying that education, finance and
all of these things would not do anything for the Arab
today. Nothing short of processing him on the exact Rocks
of his own culture. And those exact Rocks are religious
bigotry and magic, demonology, so forth. These things have
stayed with him all this time.

Right now, Dull Foster and Ikenhower are risking the peace
of earth to do something with or about these people. Ah,
but force of arms is the oldest story in the world.
Education is the oldest story in the world. The Arab is to
a point where he won't even follow a decent leader. He's
got to have a man of blood, a man of cruelty, exaggeration
and bigotry. Then he'll follow him.

I've been very interested in talking to Arabs that the
bloodier I talk, the more fanatic I seem, the happier they
are with me as a friend.

Now, let's look at the mechanisms of this. Let's look at
the mechanisms of this. They have a method - every thetan
has a method of getting rid of his aberrations which gets
in your road in Rock analysis. We're just using this race,
see? We could educate them, we could finance them, we could
police them, we could do anything we wanted to them and
they would still go on being themselves - short of actually
getting processed.

Because what are they doing? They are actually trying to
please people. Why are they trying to please people? They
are trying to process themselves as a race on a very
interesting line, fascinating line.

You understand, I've not said these are terribly debased or
unsalvageable people. I have simply said that these are
probably the oldest civilized peoples to whom we owe most
of our culture. But here they have dropped back into the
ven. [probably "fen" - English marshland] Now, what are
they trying to do?

The fundamental of the case of the Arab is still ARC. It's
still ARC. And that "A" is so heavily used that if they had
enough "A" on any of their illnesses it would melt, vanish,
disappear and cease to be. So it is true that if anybody is
given enough ARC he would turn sane, because his Rock would
be washed away with the "A," you see? But when the "A"
collapses - "A" is consideration of space - and when the
space is gone the "A" is zero. So you have to start liking
those things which have collapsed the "A." And so it is true
with every ancient race.

You understand this? If you can see this you can see a
case, any case, just spread right out before you. You have
to start liking and holding to you things that like the Rock.

Now this is the only therapy a thetan personally, himself,
knows. And he turns to it at the end just as seamen abandon
the ship of reason. And he starts to try to dissolve or
disintegrate the evils of his own track, his beingness, his
culture by liking them. He knows instinctively that if he
just likes this "R" enough it'll disappear.

And so we have the basic therapy, which is: mock up
somebody, or a person, in front of that body who would be
pleased with your condition.

Exact command: "In front of that body mock up a person who
would be pleased with your condition. Behind that body mock
up a person who would be pleased with your condition. Below
that body mock up a person who would be pleased with your
condition. Above that body mock up a person who would be
pleased with your condition. To the right of that body mock
up a person who would be pleased with your condition. To
the left of that body mock up a person who would be pleased
with your condition." And that is a variable command in
that: "Mock up a person who is pleased with it, who could
be pleased with it." It has modifications of one kind or
another.

But it all adds up to this: Be pleased with it. And you
will find out that every thetan is holding to himself
people who were pleased to have him in a bad condition. Oh,
what a dreadful trick! He's holding as ghosts people who
would be pleased, if you please, with his stupidity, with
his illness, with this and with that.

In other words, he makes enemies on purpose. And that is
the basis of he must have a fight, he must have a problem,
he must have this and he must have that. Don't you see? And
that he is trying to be pleased with death tells you that
he is trying to cure himself of his worst failing, which is
mortality. Be pleased with death.

Now the Arab could-practically can't eat anymore. If you
offered him a good dinner he wouldn't know what to do with it.

> He'd rather eat sheeps brains with dirty fingers, or
> something. He really would.  The more nauseous forms of
> death and the more death they are, the better he likes it.

But you'll find this same germ that now exists in that
race - and don't worry about that race, we'll tackle it
someday and get it all straightened out - exists right now
in this society. People are enjoying food. They're supposed
to enjoy food. And most of the time they don't, you see,
but they know they're supposed to.

Now, what is this food enjoyment? Now, let's just trace
this point. What is food enjoyment? Now I'm being very
broad here. And I could get into innumerable arguments. But
understand I'm just talking about cases just as cases. It's
an effort to run out death, to get death and mortality off
the track. He can no longer cope with it; he is subject to it.

Periodically, all of his possessions, everything he owns,
will disappear and he himself will become a sorry ghost,
forgetting - because he can't stand the loss of them - all
of his friends, his society, his former associations and
skills; and wandering back in some maternity ward, which in
this day and age is a very silly thing to do. Now - till we
get to a few doctors we don't have anything that could be
dignified as a maternity ward.

Now, do you see this enjoyment of death? You see? "Eat your
dinner", we tell our kiddies, "eat now, eat now, eat now."
The kids are actually totally dedicated to eating, but you
won't find many of them who like it. Most kids object to
this at first. Oh, you have an awful time getting kids to
eat. They'll only eat those things which are furthest from
death: ice cream, milk, things like this, which are
manufactured foods, which are only dependent upon the death
of a few cells.

And they'll gradually move in. Maybe by the time some kid
is eight, nine, ten or something like that, you can put a
hamburger steak in front of him and he could look it square
in the eye and by that time gotten so grooved in the groove
that he can eat a hamburger steak. But don't try to put a
hamburger steak before a child about a year and a half old.
He won't really know what to do with it. If he does eat it,
it has to be pretty tastied up.

Children's allergy to meat varies, of course, from child to
child; but it is still his unwillingness to come back
around and run this old therapy called "Consume things and
break them up in order to keep the mock-up mocked up." See?
That's basically an invalidation of his skill. Why can't he
just postulate it'll go on being mocked up? No, he has a
system by which he keeps this thing mocked up called eating.

Well, he goes further from eating. Some people are keeping
their automobiles mocked up by breaking them to pieces.
You'll find practically everybody will take three or four
nonoperative items and try to build one operative item out
of it. Sometimes they'll take three items, break two, and
rebuild one. Now they know that will go. It hasn't anything
to do with the fact that two broke down; they broke them
down so they could break them up and build one. In other
words, they've scattered those parts so that they're
untraceable and therefore won't as-is.

And as a man gets more and more anxious about his own
survival or the survival of his things, more and more
anxious about his mortality, he starts breaking things up
and making new things out of them. That is the other system
he uses. You can as-is a perfect form and it's liable to
disappear on you. See, a perfect form. But a form which is
made out of composite forms, you see, can't be traced very
easily so it stays mocked up. This assuages his security. A
man who is doing this no longer has any faith in his own
ability to postulate. See, that's gone.

And the worse off a fellow gets and the more insecure he
gets, the more anxious he gets about death, which is:
losing everything. So the more he works at it. So here's
another system he has: he breaks everything up and feeds it
into a new composite form. And if he can just keep doing
this then he's got everything surviving, he thinks. Do you
follow me? Now, this is pretty interesting because here is
the basic therapy and here is the basic modus operandi. The
basic therapy: If you could just get somebody to like it,
it'll disappear. Get somebody to like it, it'll disappear.
If it'll please somebody, it'll disappear. That's one of
his basic considerations.

And the other one is: If you can just bust things up and
recomposite them, they'll last. So here at once we have any
case being - in Rock analysis and so forth these two things
are very important - we have every case doing these two
things, holding to itself those things which would like its
condition.

Now, back in the 2nd ACC we talked about ghosts. Every once
in a while a person under processing will look up and say,
"Well, there's my mother and she's been standing there for
Lord knows how long," or, "What is this odd person doing in
the priestess' robes over there in the corner of the room?"
You know? Much more importantly, many a case - many a case
is haunted by demons. And we call it merely a field; it isn't
a field, it's demons. It's real honest-to-goodness demons
that he's keeping perpetually mocked up because they like
illness, they like bad luck, they like misery.

Every once in a while you ask somebody who is ill - if you
wanted to go into a searching analysis of this, you would
find some new astonishing data. You could go around the
hospital and ask somebody, "What happens in your mind's eye
(they would understand that) when you get sick?" Well,
they'd have to look this over and maybe give you a report
in two or three months, but this would be your report: When
they get sick something moves in on them. It's quite
fascinating. The case that has a black field always gets a
tighter field when it gets sick.

Now, this could be interpreted, and was first interpreted
by the Arab - which is why I dragged him in by his heels -
as illness. Illness was a demonological situation, the evil
eye and all this sort of thing. Later on the Christian,
having absorbed a great deal of Arab superstition and
culture, made this part and parcel of Christianity.

And all during the early first millennia, well that is, all
during the early centuries and actually right on up to
modern times... They had some discussion on this in Church
of England the other day; they were wondering whether or
not to take out their laws concerning demon exorcism or
not. They still had laws and procedures of demon exorcism
in the Church of England, casting out devils and that sort
of thing - this has been part and parcel of this enlightened
religion called Christianity.

Demonology. The Catholic church to this day casts out
demons. A young fellow was able to throw, on an automaticity,
rugs and things around in the room and send himself scooting
across the floor. Poltergeist. And he had two or three
priests move on him to exorcise the demon who was doing this,
which I think is quite amusing. That was somewhere around
Elizabeth, New Jersey in 1950. The old and the new were in
the same area.

Now what is this mechanism? This mechanism of pulling a
demon in on you? If you're taught that demons like illness
and bad luck and misfortune, then of course, you'll start
out mocking up demons who like what's wrong with you. Don't
you see? And then eventually what gets wrong with you?
Demons. Get the idea? So you have this cycle being run.

Now, we've got these two things in operation, which I've
described to you. And we have a third cycle, is: anything
which cures, if it does not cure itself with itself,
becomes the next generation's illness. Anything which cures
in one generation can become the illness of the succeeding
generations. So we have alcohol. Alcohol was a wonderful
medicine, discovered very, very early, carried through in
various forms. Anybody got sick they fed him some alcohol.
Well now, how this came about out of something that likes
it, we wouldn't know, but evidently alcohol was production
of a god of evil at some time or another who liked evil or
something of the sort and you drank alcohol and it cured
something. There'd be some mechanism of this character.
I've never traced it down; I don't know what it is.

But I do know this: that you feed a drink to some very
large percentage of the modern population, they get sick.
Heh! How interesting. How interesting. Some large
percentage, you feed them a quart or two of scotch or
bourbon or something of the sort, particularly on an empty
stomach, and keep them up all night so they don't get any
sleep and they get sick.

Well, that's crazy, why should they get sick? Well, they've
got an inverted cure and that's all there is to it. Alcohol
now causes what it once cured! So cause and cure not only
identify with each other but reverse roles. They reverse
roles. Demons at one time cured something. They were beings
who liked your illness and bad luck and all you had to do
was go around to the cave where a demon lived and you
were - fully believed that if you just showed him some bad
luck or illness or something of the sort that it'd go away.

Now, after a while the Arab - because this was on his track
more than ours, we borrowed it from him - after a while the
Arab said that the cause of illness was a demon. Oh,
wonderful! Now the cause of illness was a demon and we've
carried that tradition forward to our own times. Many areas
believe this is the case. You see where all this is going?
Although the basic mechanism is simple, all I am saying,
what a thetan does with it exceeds anybody's imagination
but his own.

Now, at one time - at one time or another he became conscious
of the fact that he was mortal. He found out he could
forget everything. And this was a wonderful thing; this
cured a bad life. That was the cure. Death was a cure.

There was a picture not too many years ago, one of the last
pictures of Lionel Barrymore, and this had to do with a
little boy who got Death up a tree. Remember? There were a
couple such pictures. But it demonstrated conclusively in
those pictures that death was a good thing. People then
couldn't die, no matter how ill they were, you see? There
couldn't be any end to it unless death was around. The
deification of death.

Well, that's a very early thing: death is something very
good. A dog has some incurable illness or something of this
sort, why let him suffer? Kill him.

Euthanasia is not permitted the medical profession but they
do it anyway. They quite commonly do it. An idiot baby or
something that's obviously a mongoloid idiot and so forth
seldom reaches the nursery of a hospital; it just
mysteriously dies in some fashion or another in many, many
cases. Death is a therapy.

It's probably no accident that so many brain surgery cases
where surgery is being used on the brain to cure insanity -
which is one of the crazier things for anybody to do - for
it's no real accident so many of these cases die on the
operating table. The mortality rate is fantastic. It's
allowable euthanasia, which is, say, mercy killing. You get
the idea? So death even till now is all scrambled up and
it's looked on as a very therapeutic thing. But man himself,
at large, though, has lost sight of its therapy value - he
still dramatizes it - but he says, "You only live but once
and you'll never live but once and you're born and then you
die and that's the end of it."

Of course, the Christians got this messed up by saying, "Well,
after death you went up to heaven so you're not responsible
for this life that you're living right now. You go to heaven;
you don't have to suffer any of the consequences of what you
are doing." I imagine Napoleon, kicking around France right
now sweeping some sewer someplace on bad wages and so
forth, wishes he'd made just a little bit more stable
political picture there. He reduced the height of Frenchmen
one inch, which I think as I've said before was his
contribution to mankind. And imagine Napoleon now having to
have bodies which are shorter because... You get the
swindle! Well now, from each one of these cures you get a
double stage here. It goes over into a delusion. First
thing it's a cure, you know? And then it's - the next thing
is the sickness, you know? There is an illness and then
they dream up a cure and this cures for a while and then it
itself becomes the illness. And out of this you get
something new growing, which we can call a delusion. It's a
delusory explanation of some kind or another. And these
delusory - delusory explanations compounded at any one time
would give you the composite beliefs of a civilization.
There's a composite of delusions.

Ah, that's not - that's not extravagantly said. What did
we have for a thousand years or fifteen hundred years or
however long that brief religion lasted... How long did we
have Christians being worried about hell and going to
heaven? Hm? Well now, this is simply a delusion grown out
of the cure - cause sickness cycle of it. So we get a
delusory aspect of this sort of thing. Got it? There's
an unreality in between the fact and the delusion also.
Delusion is the end product of unreality. In other words,
this fellow finds out this horrible thing - that the reason
he continues ill are the salt baths he's giving his foot.
You get the idea? That's the reason he's still ill, see? He
discovers this, so he now dreams up some new delusion to
explain it all, you know? And he gets very esoteric about
the whole thing and he may even lose sight of his true illness.

You'll find people who can't walk, who have a bad leg or
something of this character, who are absolutely sure that
what's wrong with them is their right ear. You get the
idea? You see? And you'll have people who have no ears at
all or something of the sort and their hearing is very
impeded and they have howling noises going on in their head
all the time, who will sit and tell you by the hour how it
is their right foot that troubles them. You get the idea?
It's a delusory state. Now, there's such an unreality
between what they're telling you and what is actually wrong
that you have a hard time bridging the gap.

So first we've got the cycle of anxiety. And this started
out, as I said: mortality was a cure. "Mortality was a
cure." Death was a wonderful cure. You could get rid of a
lifetime and all of its travail and suffering and so forth
just with a snap of the fingers; all you had to do was die.
Part of the conditions of dying was to forget everything
and forget you'd lived before.

All right. Now, the next thing that happened, immediately
after this sort of thing, is death became a horrible
illness. You were just going along fine in the next
lifetime, everything was swell! Boy, you had a nice castle
and it was all stocked with the best. And you died. Whoa!
Now wait a minute. So you'd resist it and fight against it
and thus confirm the basic postulates concerning death.

Well, after this had been going on for a while, anything
that would show up that would threaten death would cause a
little anxiety. And the world became full of associated
restimulators, all of which posed death, which means loss
of everything. So one started to cure these up one way or
the other. Body decayed a little bit, one way or the other.
Well, there had to be a cure for that decay or you'd find
yourself confronting death. And then after a while the cure
for the decayed hand or foot or ear or something of the
sort would turn around to be a new illness.

This is allergy at work. Somebody's allergic to chicken
feathers. Well, it's fascinating, he'll break out and do
all sorts of things, just - should you wave a chicken
feather.

I knew a writer one time, a friendly enemy of mine. He
doesn't know how friendlily I have always regarded him; he
and his wife have always been good friends of mine. But
this is what he objects to: his wife and I have always been
such good friends, and it's driven him up the spout for
years. He's a rather famous science fiction writer, by the
way. Drives him mad.

And he goes around and he thinks the cure for writing in
general and so forth would be to get rid of Hubbard, quick!
Now, he's totally delusory on the situation, which is quite
interesting. That isn't what he's even trying to cure.
Don't you see? He's not trying to cure up writing, you
know. He's not trying to cure up somebody who produces so
much that he can't ever get a story in edgeways. What he's
trying to cure up is some kind of domestic situation which
never existed in a difficulty anyhow. See? You get how
rattled around this guy is finally. He doesn't know what's
sick or how to cure it and he's chosen somebody who
actually always has been a friend of his to hate. You get
the idea? So you'll usually find a thetan protesting
against the wrong thing, you know? But remember this, it's
always safe to protest against the wrong thing. You can
never protest against a direct enemy that might really do
you some harm because you might restimulate it.

This fellow, by the way, this writer, is allergic to black
cats, and all you had to do is show him a picture of a
black cat and he gets a great big black eye. His eye
appears just that fast. I remember we used to make an
experiment when he'd hold parties and things like that, a
friend of his and I, and we used to take a black cat with
us. It was quite interesting, it would just go boom and he
had a black eye.

Well now, to trace that cat association with the black eye
and just say it is an allergy is about the weakest apathy
anybody had, because it contains these other factors: at
one time a black cat, for sure, was a cure for black eyes.
Now it causes black eyes. Don't you see? Just as simple as
that. But that kind of direct reasoning is completely
beyond the allergist. They say it is the dandruff in the
hair of the cat. See? Or something, see? They've got to
remove this thing over.

Truth of the matter is they also would be quite amazed that
this man's story most often includes witches and witchcraft.
He's totally sold on the idea of witches and witchcraft as
good fictional material, see? This is dramatic matter right
in front of us.

All right. So if the cause is the cure, where does the
thetan go next to get well? Oh, wow! What a terrible thing!
He recognizes this. The moment he gets dependent upon
something it'll probably betray him, he thinks. Oh, dear.
He doesn't dare be dependent on anybody, or anything, so
help begins to be regarded as the greatest liability he
has. And this cycle I've just described to you is the cycle
of falling out of love with help.

So here he is. He's adapted a deadly mechanism, called
death, to cure and it now betrays him routinely and
regularly. It takes his friends; it takes everything. So he
becomes anxious very easily about keeping the body mocked
up. So he has put that over onto an automaticity. Now, he's
capable of inventing machinery which produces things on -
he's producing them, you see - on the via of the machine,
takes no responsibility for this machine over here and it
goes on producing. Well now, that is an internal, mental
mechanism to keep things mocked up even if he's starving
to death. That, at one time, was his eatingness.

See? Now he lives on death. He's trying to - like the Arab
- the Arab is trying to be pleased with death and murder
and mayhem and disease and poverty and political unrest.
He's trying to be pleased with these things and he'll only
follow the person who is pleased with these things. You got
the idea? All you have to do is stand up around Arabs and
be pleased with murder or pleased with disease. And you
say, "Oh, boy, disease is really something, boy. I see
somebody sick; I see a bunch of beggars, (I've done this,
by the way) seen a bunch of beggars on the streets, you
know, leprosy and so forth. Boy, you know, that's - that's
interesting. I like that." And the Arab, boy, they can't
give you enough or do enough for you. This is a pathetic
thing. See, you just mock it up this way just to see what
they react to, and they react to that.

So any time some big chieftain comes in from the desert and
says, "Mi Alakbar, kill everybody, kill yourselves, kill
your husbands, wives and children. Murder all the Franks
and three cheers, three cheers." Oh boy! Nobody can get rid
of this guy, see? He's pleased with it all. So he goes
snap. Got that? So the cause-cure mechanism is actually
after the fact of ARC. The considerations of ARC are
primary. Now, he started picking up things that were
pleased with it and then when they weren't pleased with it,
that became a new illness, didn't it? See, he brought in a
demon that was pleased with it but then if a few demons
failed to be pleased with the condition, then he had a new
illness on his hands, didn't he, called a demon. Got this?
So he couldn't get rid of his illnesses in any other way
except by dying and abandoning everything in one fell
swoop, which made him anxious about keeping things mocked
up. So he began to invent machinery that would keep him
mocked up and keep things mocked up. And of all things that
machinery became the most valuable thing, but it became
involved in the cause-cure mechanism.

So the machinery that was mocked up to cure him of not
being mocked up eventually begins to, what? Unmock him. And
this turns up as a second machine which consumes what the
first machine, which is still in existence, is making.

The machine that is producing is giving out products which
are consumed by another machine. Got this? And the second
machine is simply the first machine gone bad but at a
different time span. So it apparently is some kind of a
very operating mechanism that looks quite mechanical, but
it is built upon those considerations which I have just
sent out to you with a rat-a-tat-tat here.

I know it's pretty fast to be able to pick up and trace
this thing exactly, but it's a very simple series of
mechanisms.

Now, after all of what I have told you, we get the talisman
state. The talisman. And the Arab is nowhere better than
with amulets and talismen. You'll find most races which are
totally up the spout believe in nothing so well as an
amulet or a talisman.

A thetan, in his anxiety to reach others and continue a
beingness of his own, will in his stupidity, pick up a
talisman and become it. He's already got a machine that's
producing and a machine that consumes what the machine that
produces consumes, which is no longer mocking up this body
but is actually eating it too. That's out of control. Any
cure will become an illness, this he knows. And his basic
therapy is still death. So he keeps something that will
live forever and this will be a talisman of some kind or
another and its basic thing was originally to reach people.
Well, it failed to reach people after being so successful
over a long period of time and the cycle is: a failure
after a great deal of success.

His death - death, you see, gave him an anxiety about
reaching people, gave him an anxiety about communication,
gave him an anxiety about losing everything and so forth.
So he wanted something that would reach everything, all
things at the same time, and keep himself in good odor with
the rest of humanity. But the rest of humanity had very
peculiar ideas and he'd finally settle on something - I don't
care what it was, it'd be a - maybe a gun, he might settle
on a ball of fire, he might settle on a heathen idol, he
might settle on a gauntlet. It didn't matter what, but there
was some reachingness mechanism there, and that after a
while failed to reach.

And now he's got it. And it is more important to him,
because it has only failed recently, than the mechanism of
death, keeping himself mocked up with a producing machine
and an unproducing machine and the delusion accompanying
those machines and machinery and what he is doing there.

And up above this layer after layer of delusion and
illusion and unreality, why, he'll have this amulet. Now,
the amulets fail and they do a cause-illness cycle too.
See, at first they heal and then they make him sick. So
this amulet leads at once on any existing case. There's
always an amulet of some sort or another. But some cases
are in better shape than others and you can reach a machine
at once, do you see? But this thing can be stacked up this
way: the machine that produces, the machine that consumes,
then an amulet and then several other types of amulet.
These are all part of this basic-basic thing.

The basic-basic, of course, is: "I can be something less
than optimum." The first realization that somebody can fail
is basic-basic; the first thetan's realization that he can
fail.

And that's liable to get a couple of more machines, you
know? Here's all these amulets and now you got a couple of
more machines and then you got some more amulets and then
you got a couple of more machines and some more amulets.
And this thing could be just stacked up practically
forever. Do you see this? A lot of stack-up involved here.

But an auditor, if he's good, will get that thing more
basic than the available machinery. Or he'll get the
machinery that is more basic. He's got to stop the needle.
Why does anything stop the needle? Because it's stopped in
time.

There's another reason why it stops the needle, is all
Rocks - common denominator of all Rocks: make nothing out
of space and time - the best Rock there is, is something
that is making nothing out of space and time. In other words,
all Rocks are basically designed to communicate. ARC is basic
on this case, you see. But to communicate they make nothing
out of space and time. Got that? Now the ideal Rock is
somebody that would reach everybody in the past and
everybody in the future, everybody in the present. Then
there'd be no space in the past, there'd be no space in the
future and there's no space in the present. You got the
idea? So we've got a total no-space. And we get the basic
A=A=A of Dianetics. We have identification of everything
with everything in one of these Rocks.

Now as I say, the Rock can be the machine; the Rock can be
the amulet; the Rock can be the thing which reaches
everybody. Of course, to reach everybody you make nothing
out of space, you see? The machine itself can be something
that reaches everybody. The consumer is something that
reaches everybody. At least that's a reverse look on the
situation. It makes them reach you if you eat up everything
that they drop in your lap. Get the idea? They - certainly
you're in communication.

Now, it all, then, breaks down into an anxiety about
communication. Therefore, this thing that every Dianeticist
and Scientologist at one time or another has observed in
his processing, is explained: The last thing to surrender
on a case is communication. The last thing to change is
communication.

The stutterer, the bad eyesight, the this, the that, so
forth - you've really got to get a case on the road to change
that communication. You get it? Because the fundamental of
the case is communication. It's A-R-C. And ARC add up into
an understanding.

Therefore, the Rock, the machines, are substitutes for
communication from a thetan, substitutes for havingness,
the R; they are substitutes for affinity. So ARC are the
common denominators, however inverted, of all Rocks. All
Rocks have to do with ARC.

And the goal of all Rocks is to survive, so Help works on
Rocks. Help, help what? Help survive one way or another.
Something is helping something survive. And, of course,
a total survival would be optimum continuance for the
greatest number of dynamics. That would be a total
survival.

But as a person becomes more and more anxious he takes a
shorter and shorter look. And the reason I have chosen
death to pinpoint it is because that one was the first
dynamic. Now, if you can reach that one, the decision to
die, in any case, that's the first dynamic therapy - most
basic, most fundamental. And you have a Clear. Now you only
have left seven dynamics and that's an OT.

Now, without the considerations of the other seven it's
relatively very simple: It is simply earlier and earlier
considerations that start with the furthest back, with
eight. Eight must die, then seven must die, then six must
die, do you get the idea? Five must die, four must die,
three must die, two must die, one must die.

Now, no matter how many inversions you get of this
situation, there is where the aberrative chain of a Clear
can be tapped. And there's where that thing can be cleaned
up. The Rock only goes back to decisions to die, and that
is all.

Now, in case analysis, if you just know this anatomy I've
given you here... You see, there's the basic thing, the
anatomy of things, isness is defined by the manifestation
of the postulate. And isness is a manifestation of the
postulate. You make the postulate, something manifests and
that is isness, no matter what it is. You see? All right.
The isness of the situation is the fact that he's got
engrams and locks and secondaries and machines. You see
that? Those are the isnesses of things. But the
considerations and the actual things which composite the
case that you're looking for, I have given you in this
lecture.

First there's the decision to die. Then there's this
decision to make up something that will make things which
are then consumed by something else. You see? And then you
get this amulet situation, the magic thing that reaches
everybody. And these considerations are all of a piece. And
that's actually all you're looking for on a case.

Thank you.

[End of lecture.]
