FREEZONE BIBLE ASSOCIATION TECH POST



TRANSCRIPT OF THE CLEARING CONGRESS 2/12





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.



The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings

of Judiasm 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 the Christians are not good and obedient Jews and yet

are allowed 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

			    THE FACT OF CLEARING



**************************************************



(lecture continued from part 1/12)



And it was strictly a hacking job. You just took a machete and you went to 

it.  And when we finally got down to a point where there was a path through 

the jungle and we reached a cliff on the other side and saw there a broad 

sea.  It was interesting, but it was a very simple sea we were looking at.  

It didn't have monsters in it, or anything else.  It was a sea, it was all 

very calm, it's all very nice.  But every time for a while that we led 

somebody up, you leading your friends up to this and you say, "look, you see 

all that stuff, that's jungle.  That doesn't have any real bearing on 

existence at all. It's just superstition and ignorance and stupidity and all 

that sort of thing and we're gonna... we want you to walk up this line. Of 

course, I realize that this path is not well marked. You have to look at this 

tree for a half hour to find out whether or not there's a blaze on it - not a 

well marked path.  But all we're asking you to do is walk up this path and 

go over there to look at the cliff and take a look at the sea", and it's a 

beautiful sight. And they say, "oh no, oh no, not for me, not for me".  Very 

often they say this - why?  Well, they know it's not for the personality that 

they're wearing.  But did anybody ever wear the personality that they're 

wearing?  No, it's totally an invented thing. Just as every barrier which 

exists between man and an ignorant, superstitious, ill, war-like, violent 

state is a series of shadows.  These things are not real, even when you run 

into them head on.  There's something wrong.  They're made out of paper-mache 

or something like that.  It's not a real view, but it's a symptom of our 

society that we would rather look at delusion than truth.



Oh, that's a very broad statement, isn't it? ...rather look at delusion than 

truth.  There's no evidence to support this ... ooh yes, I'm afraid so. You 

can show people a great travelogue and they stay away from their television 

sets in droves - but show them Gunsmoke ...(chuckle).  Dumas, senior, had the 

idea - he said he was gonna write all of history up in a novel so that it 

was totally palatable and everybody all would find out all about history.  A 

very good idea. In other words, if you fed them fact through delusion, he'd 

have it made.  It's an idea, but is it a workable idea - actually and 

essentially, is it a workable idea?  No, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that truth 

doesn't have to be shepherded in by the ushers of superstition, fear, delusion, 

altered clause - ah, I'm going too far there (chuckle), chalices, incense, 

smoke, Latin, hymns, - truth doesn't have to come in this way.



It's not absolutely necessary, but we garland truth with a tremendous amount 

of verbiage, because that's the only thing that happened to truth ...is, it 

became garlanded with a tremendous amount of verbiage - don't you see.  And 

the person who drags in this poor shattered, tattered damsel called truth, 

you know, and thinks to get her on the stage at all, you have to pile her up 

with, with fir boughs, and pack sacks, and hula costumes, or ...(garbled).  It 

isn't necessary.  All you have to do is show people the possibility that truth 

exists and then ask them whether or not this item is true, and if they find 

that this item is true then they will recognize truth.  People do recognize 

truth when they see it. 



But another little factor enters in.  Sometimes you only get the synthetic 

personality to look, and if only the synthetic personality is looking, it's 

primary characteristic is that it can't confront truth. These are the barriers 

we face in Clearing people. These are the barriers.  They are not very 

formidable.  Numbers of people are not very formidable.  But tremendous piles 

of lies, fears, and terrors can become rather formidable, since I point out 

to you that man has not walked through these barriers for the last many 

thousands of years, if ever, in this universe.  So we must consider these 

things to be quite formidable.  I think it's his fear alone of these things 

which keeps him from being able to be happy.  Now, is it possible that man 

is happy?  If we look, if we look over any of the great seekers after truth, 

they were all driven in the direction of search by the unhappiness of man. 

They looked around and saw that man was not happy. They found out that a 

sick man was sick, - he hurt and he didn't want to hurt. They looked around 

and saw that people were starving when they didn't want to starve.  And they 

were faced with this terrible puzzle. Why is it man has all these evil things 

and he doesn't want them. 



Of course, in the Philadelphia Lectures I covered this many years ago, that 

which you want in the universe, you don't get, and that which you don't want, 

you, of course, you can have rather easily.  One of the little rules that goes 

along, and you would be surprised where this rule enters in.  I found out 

where that entered in, the other day - just why that was.  To most people, 

affinity is a consideration of distance.  Oh boy, that's a deep one, isn't 

it? - think it over.  In other words, if you like something, and something 

is compatible and you think it's fine, you want it out there (LRH pointing to 

space outside himself).  Well, if you don't want it at all - where do you put 

it?  Well obviously, only one place you could put it would be right there 

(pointing to the top of his head)...(laughing).  So, the basic law of affinity 

is responsible for this condition, in this universe.  



Man does not want to be unhappy, he does not want to be sick, and just why 

he is, is not logical. Man is not doing or being really, in the aggregate of 

things he wants to do or be.  He's doing or being things that he must not or 

has to be.  He is being prevented from being himself one way or the other.  

And all these shadow barriers, are to him, much more formidable, much more 

solid than anything else.  I swear, some girl's idea of the evilness of 

marriage is much more solid to her than that wall.  And a girl who has this 

idea of the terrific evilness of marriage - never get married, having nothing 

to do with marriage - and you start running her on 8-C.  She can walk through 

8-C.  She can reach over and touch the wall.  Why can she touch the wall? - 

because the wall's not there. And she could practically walk right straight 

through the wall.  But this idea of marriage is something that someone 

should never commit.  Boy, that's solid...ugh, ugh.  Interesting isn't it, 

how people make the solids of their own universe, the barriers of their own 

imprisonment.  



Man has a right, man definitely has a right to a certain happiness.  He isn't 

going to experience that right under the circumstances of his own past.  He 

can't, he can't, he's too wound up in this and that.  It's not the mores of 

the society that prevent him.  It's all of these delusions about how bad the 

other fellow is.  You have police because other people are so bad.  I 

investigated the police one time.  I became a cop.  That's the best way to 

investigate something, become it for a while, you know.  You can go too far 

with that sort of thing (laughing).  But where do we have, where do we have, 

in essence here, a cave into the society...what could cave society in?  Well, 

all you have to do is have a police force and society would start caving in. 



The police force constitute a constant reminder that men are evil;  which 

is a constant reminder that we must agree with these evil men.  You see how 

this would work? - neat little trick.  Now, that doesn't say that we are so 

starry-eyed as to believe that at this time we could dispense with all police. 

Or could we?  Now you have to make up your mind which way you are going to 

go with the society if you're thinking about a new society of one kind or 

another.  And if you say, well this society would be totallyunregulated, 

then we would be proposing an anarchy.  And all the anarchists tell us that 

the only way a society would work, as a total freedom without the government, 

would be if everyone in it were perfect.  I don't know whether we propose, 

when we talk about a Cleared society, whether we'd propose or not, to have 

an anarchy.  That's beside the point.  That's up to the people who get Cleared.  

But I don't think you'd wind up with an anarchy. I think you'd wind up with 

a much finer level of agreement and cooperation because, I think, you'd then 

be able to realize the rest of the dynamics.  The cops are there only because 

the rest of the dynamics aren't there.  So, if you put those back into 

society, then you'd get a society.



The idea of a police officer of the state of being of the criminal is one of 

the more interesting studies.  You wouldn't believe this study unless you'd 

been a cop for a while.  You wouldn't believe this.  I had hardened criminals 

walk into a horrible bar crammed into the back between two cockroach dens.  

You know,  hardened criminals - cop killers, you know.  They come in, I pat 'em 

on the back, have a drink boys, mind the peace - they would.  A cop yelling - 

a cop that's a fake...I looked like a cop. I was wearing a cop's uniform - 

a little different.  Cops see a couple of these guys come in and they say, 

"hmmm, evil beings".  "What are you people doing here?".  Next thing you 

know why the nightclub starts to whirl, chairs start to go down with a crash, 

the proprietor is very unhappy, and war has commenced.  



Well I think there are certain things that you can appeal to in men, 

definitely certain things that you can appeal to in men which make them more 

or less revert to their basic selves.  They take off their coats, in other 

words.  That's a very thin principle;  it has occasionally worked, and there's 

one religion which is based exclusively on that principle.  That if you can 

reach the soul or being of a person, just ppanng.  When he becomes well, 

you've got it made.  That religion, I don't know if you've heard of them or 

not, it's called Christianity (chuckle).  All you have to do is appeal to, as 

some of their various organizations have said, the Christ spirit of man.  Oh, 

I don't know about the Christ spirit, but if you appeal to the basic man, 

why you get somewhere.  And sometimes you have to appeal, and appeal, and 

appeal, and appeal (laughing) and after you've duplicated the auditing question 

enough times, you've gotten there.  Quite amusing.  Quite amusing to look over, 

look over the number of struggles we have had to find out the few things we 

have to know.  



But I suppose when you're climbing over barricades why you're liable to get 

your clothes covered with creosote now and then, and when you're smashing down 

jungle plants, you're certainly going to get splattered with a little chlorophyl.  

And you carry it a long for a little while until you take a bath, and you say, 

"what do you know, I've gone all the way through this jungle and there's 

just one little piece of stuff here".  "That's the only piece of stuff and we 

went through eight miles of jungle and swamp and so forth, and we find only 

this little piece of stuff" - Duplication, duplication, gee (chuckle) - you 

know - and then you promptly forget about the eight miles of swamp and jungle 

and so forth.  You promptly forget all about that.  Then you say to someone 

else, you see they haven't been through it, you come up to them and say to 

them, "Hey, look at this - duplication", and they say "Yeah, what about it!", 

you say "well, see all those eight miles of swamp, they're not true, they're 

not true".  They say, "they're not?".  They're in over their heads in quicksand.  

"Someone's lying to me - you say duplication is important but I say MUD is" 

and so we get the birth of science - mud (chuckle). 



Now, wherever we look in a society as it struggles along it picks up arbitraries 

with which to bolster up a hidden ideal that is never expressed.  We get these 

arbitraries piling up, piling up - laws, customs.  Everybody forgets what they're 

supposed to prevent and at last we have this mass which simply has one common 

denominator - prevent.  And when you have a person totally prevented, you 

have a human being.  But what would you really have if you had somebody who 

was totally prevented. You'd have somebody who couldn't help and who couldn't 

reach out on the rest of the dynamics and so couldn't have a civilization 

because you couldn't have a third dynamic, - could you?  That's as easy as this. 

In other words, this system of preventing everything in order to bring out a 

good civilization succeeds in killing the thing it was supposed to bring 

out, - right?.  So, there must be another way and a better way, and that way 

we have today in Scientology.  



In our, in our walkings along the line we've gone through many vicissitudes. 

There's hardly a one of us present, myself included, who hasn't been human 

somewhere along these last right years.  These were not lapses from grace 

however, these were repetitions of habit (chuckle) and it's a little bit hard 

to make it all the way.  But the funny part of it is that somebody who simply 

starts along this road, would just get started along this road, and says, "look, 

there are a few truths", had astonishing things happen to them.



Remember the old article, "Dianetics, Evolution Of A Science"?  If more people 

got a hold of that article and read it and all of a sudden got well - Boom.  

Here was an odd phenomenon.  I know of three separate cases that got a hold of 

that article in a hospital bed, and read it, got up, called for their clothes, 

left, and haven't had a recurrence years afterwards.  Now the simple idea 

that there is a way out, or that there is truth, or that truth can be realized, 

that itself is a tremendously potent force.  So for those elements in a society 

which are trying to kill all truth, that would be the first thing to attack.  

The fact that there might be a road out - "ummm no - no road out, - there you 

are in the middle of the swamp jungle (chuckle), and there you're gonna stay".  

Everybody who tells you, "there is a road out", must perforce, by definition, 

be a faker and a quack.  Which is almost a direct quote of the Better Business 

Bureau brochure on curing anything.  They say, you always know a faker if he 

tells you he can cure something.  Think that over for a moment. That's a direct 

quote out of the Better Business Bureau literature.  



You get the State favoring, favoring very strongly, only those persons and 

elements which use, which we'll talk about later in this Congress, which use 

violence and which seeks to bury people in.  They cannot ever believe that 

there is a road out.  And you know the society is so sure of itself that it 

has everybody trapped, right there in the mud, that they've forgotten to pay 

the guards and they've all left.  That's right, it's an amazing thing!  There's 

no guards on the stockade any more.  Only, everybody thinks there are, before 

you suddenly tell them to pick their head up a little bit and see if they see 

the glint on a rifle barrel any place, or reach out there and see if they really 

feel any barbed wire, or walk over this way to see if they really do fall in 

any quicksand, and it's with great amazement that somebody will take this 

delicate...tiny step - "well I don't know".  And we get the phenomenon of 

"Dianetics, Evolution Of A Science" yanking people out of hospital beds.  

We just made them look up and feel around here to see if there were any 

barriers anymore, if the guards were still on duty - and they aren't.  In 

other words, nearly every barrier we have, and nearly every duress that man 

has experienced, that kept him in an aberrated state, is practically unenforced 

today.  We have no more inquisition, we have sky...(garbled), we have no 

more arrests because of religious beliefs in this country.  You know it was 

amazing.  First it went this way.  Over in Europe for a while, all you had 

to do was have a bible read in your house to be burned at the stake.  You know, 

it was just that bad, that's all you had to do.  Or, you appeared in a field 

and listened to a preacher and (finger snap) you had it, right then, dragged 

the body right off and mounted it up.  They were very interesting about this.  

We think of people being burned at the stake - they didn't just burn them at 

the stake, you know that.  They very often took ice and packed in their heart 

and face so that they would live longer while they were burning. These were 

nice people, these were good people, they were painfully good.  Now these 

people who were doing this sort of thing of course thought that this was the 

right thing to do, that they were being the best possible people in the best 

possible world, doing this sort of thing.  And these fellows who were listening 

to a preacher in a field, or cracking a bible in the house, or something like 

that, they thought these people were being very, very evil because they were 

breaking through barriers, that they knew by experience, were tremendously 

necessary to the continued existence of the society at large and so they gave 

these punishments.  But these sort of things aren't done anymore.    



They do it in cruel little ways, little tiny ways.  They take some 

industrialist, of some place or another, that was trying to get on fine with 

the politicos, you know, and this industrialist hardly reads or writes, but 

he's a good guy, he makes all sorts of things, and so on, and the politicos 

say, well he's harmless, and I exchanged a few presents and a few things like 

that.  All of a sudden this becomes a major crime.  Well, there's a great deal 

of hope for a country where that becomes a major crime (chuckle).



Now does this mean then that we are favored by the time and place of the 

emergence of  Scientology.  Yes, we are definitely favored.  We only have to 

walk a slight tightrope.  There are a few people around who say, oh no, no, no 

and there's some laws that say that you mustn't heal anybody of anything, and 

so on.  People don't take them terribly seriously anymore and if you pay 

the least little bit of lip service to this sort of thing, why you go right 

straight through.  England, by the way, is freer than the United States on 

this line.  You can say you're gonna heal somebody, go ahead and heal 

somebody over there, and nobody screams.  In the United States you say, 

"well, we're going to, we're going to prevent his being sick", or something 

like that (chuckle).



But we're not up against a tremendously violent environment at this time and 

therefore, there is every reason to believe that what we know can bloom and 

grow and can spread and communicate.  We are also favored by the fact that the 

world at no time previous has had more communication channels.  There are 

tremendous communication channels in existence today.  What they're being 

used for is quite something else, but that they exist is certainly the case.  

For instance, it's only been the last couple of decades, you can pick up the 

phone and call almost anybody you wanted to in the world and it certainly has 

only been in the last decade that most people in the western nations began 

to have television sets.  I understand that more people have television sets 

in Russia, even than they have shoes.  That might be some of John Foster 

Dulles's problem and the system, but there's some possibility of it being true. 



Here's a rather favored time, here's a rather favored time for all this to 

happen because, although nobody's going to say keep 'em all in the mud, and 

nobody's going, tremendously, to object if you start lifting a few people out 

of the mire, and if you start lifting everybody out of the mire, nobody's 

really going to object, as I say, the police are off the stockade. Now is 

there any other thing that makes this a favored time?  Well, it's the fact 

that man might cease to exist almost in his entirety.  This factor operates 

however, not as a preventer, but as a catalyst to doing what we're trying 

to do.  And this catalyst is, of course, the threatened presence of war, 

atomic fission, that sort of thing.  Man can do such a thorough job on wiping 

out man now that we actually should put a little bit of speed on the ball.  

So I could say off hand that we're probably just a little bit late, maybe even 

eight years late.



People used to come romping into the Foundation and they used to say, "Where 

are all the Clears?".  I don't know what they expected. In truth, if I just 

point down to an empty space in the air of the hall and say, "There's one now" 

(laughing), we probably would have started a great religious revival in America 

(chuckle) but it wouldn't have been based on any truth, so it wouldn't have 

been any good.  Nevertheless, it is fitting here in this first hour of this 

Clearing Congress that we point up the fact that there is such a thing as a 

Clear.  That we're doing this all over the world.  There are as many or more 

Clears now in England than in the United States. Clears are appearing down in 

South Africa, the various, you might say, Field Offices are doing very, very 

fine, Los Angeles is doing a beautiful job, New York is just getting under 

way.  I wish a few of you people up there around New York would go in and 

get yourself Clear, so we could say to all these Clears from New York.  As a 

matter of fact, there are none at this time, but that should be expected, 

New York being New York (chuckle).



And the job that's being done on this is tremendous.  It's a gorgeous piece 

of work that's being done the world around.  And much of this work, now get 

that, is being done on indifferent communication lines.  Somebody flew in the 

other day from New Zealand.  He said, "we're doing something wrong, we're 

not getting any Clears".  Doing something wrong.  He came all the way from 

New Zealand to spend the day and then go home again.  And sure enough, they 

were doing something wrong.  They were running Help something on the basis 

of, "Tell me a way people are never helped anywhere", and they had an E-meter 

that they were trying to check people out on that didn't work.  And they had 

to come all the way back here to find out the E-meter didn't work.  But they 

got these points on Clearing technique straightened out, they got the E-meter 

straightened out, he got a little bit of subjective reality on a couple of 

the processes.  He went back home and within sixty hours of his arrival at 

home, he sent me a cable, "Made my first Clear.  New Zealand".  



Well, the point I'm making here, the point I'm making here is, this is 

happening all over the world.  It is happening very successfully, and we do 

have Clears.  We have got a show on the road and you are here and we also 

have a Congress!  - DO WE ?    Thank you.
