 All right, let's go in for something here on this third hour of 
 December 11th, afternoon. Let's go in for something very much more specific.
 And I'm going to give you your straight rundown on this quite rapidly on this
 page 38, List of Processing. 
 
 "All processes are based upon the original observation that an 
 individual could have implanted in him by hypnosis and removed at will any 
 obsession or aberration, compulsion, desire, inhibition which you could think
 of - by hypnosis." Hypnosis, then, was the wild variable; sometimes it 
 worked, sometimes it didn't work. It worked on some people; it didn't work on
 other people. 
 
 Any time you have a variable that is as wild as this, study it. The
 essence of solving problems is the essence of solving one against the other:
 the highest certainty that you can reach, versus the most variable thing you
 could reach. 
 
 Well, I had a high certainty already - I had survival. Got that in 
 1938 or before that. And uh.. I'd studied the endocrine system and structure
 at will. Oh, just.. oh, just studied it and studied it and studied it. I 
 spent a year doing nothing but studying the endocrine system, trying to find
 out if anybody know what happened to the endocrine system. The British solved
 the endocrine system better than the Americans had. And it was a.. really 
 some kind of an alarm, or monitoring system of the body. But it did not 
 respond to matter. It couldn't be monitored very much by matter, but boy, 
 could it be monitored by mind. 
 
 Wooo! You could take somebody and you could remove a compulsion or an
 inhibition and his endocrine balance would just go Zing! - way up along the
 line. Or you could hypnotize him and selectively repress, if you please, 
 almost any gland he had. And then knock that repression out and turn the 
 repression on again. Handle it at will with direct command and hypnosis. 
 That's function, you understand. And you could feed him hormones and you 
 could feed him anything else you could think of and you couldn't materially
 change his behavior. 
 
 So I had solved the basic problem of what did you study? Structure or
 function? If it had been function, I would have gone into function on an 
 engineering level and uh.. tried to knock the problem apart from that angle.
 It turned out that wasn't it. It was: structure was uh.. not the answer or 
 the road to an answer because you couldn't do anything with structure. You 
 could use the most rigorous tests you could set up and observe as close as 
 you wanted to, and nothing happened. Nobody'd ever tried to do this before in
 the history of the examination of man. I want you to understand that that job
 had not been done. 
 
 Nobody divided the problem into two halves - structure, function - 
 and had then selectively taken each one of these halves and seen if you could
 monitor structure and function by treating just one half of it. 
 
 In other words, could you change structure and function by handling
 only structure? That was a question that should have been asked. And then,
 could you handle structure and function by handling only function? 
 
 Well, you have to break a problem down before it can become a 
 problem, so maybe nobody even know there was a problem here. But certainly,
 there weren't any answers to it. I don't make any reservations on that. Louis
 Pasteur's work is a shining example of uh.. accuracy in a field which is 
 otherwise just flop. Uh.. even Pasteur, he should have looked a little 
 closer. He had all the tools to look with. 
 
 -141- 

 What happens to an experimenter or an investigator is something very 
 interesting. He becomes so convinced.. he becomes so convinced that he has to
 be right, that he doesn't bother to look. There's a good dissertation on this
 - Will Durant once wrote a beautiful dissertation on this - they find 
 something and then they've got to rush around like mad and wave this thing 
 around and never look any further. 
 
 They want to hit an action spot, accomplish it, and there they go. In 
 other words, they're running on a very short cycle. As soon as they start 
 something, they've got to stop it. You've got to run on a long cycle to 
 tackle a long problem like this. 
 
 So, here you had all these people running around - they.. oh,
 operating and chopping and shooting people with things and.. and oh God! on
 and on and on and on and on - without ever having taken the problem apart. 
 
 Well, all it required was, we took the problem apart, just 
 compartmented it. All right, we find out.. oh boy! were there some crews 
 operating on this! There were a lot of people working on this. How do you 
 change mental behavior and structural action by treating structure? Oh, they 
 were shooting.. they had people out of these Japanese prison camps and so 
 forth, and they were shooting them and they were giving them narcosynthesis 
 uh.. and doing all sorts of weird things in various directions. And it all 
 boiled down to a structural address to the problem. 
 
 Well, to an engineer it's appalling for anybody to work on a 
 problem.. to even work on a problem if he doesn't even have the design. 
 "Let.. let's work on this thing before we answer the question "What's it 
 for?" - you know? 
 
 It sounds so idiotic to an engineer. We say, "What's it for?" 
 
 And they say, "Well, there isn't any reason for it and there's no 
 goals. We're all in apathy anyhow and it doesn't matter. And the problem's 
 too complex." 
 
 You ever ask somebody about this: "How about working on the problem
 of the mind, trying to do something about the problem of the mind?" 
 "Well, that's too complex." 
 You say, "Rut you're working on the problem of the mind." 
 
 "Well yes, I know. But it's too complex - there's no s.. real 
 solution to it." 
 
 In other words, you're in a complete defeatism on the problem. Well, 
 how does anybody ever solve a problem if he knows it can't be solved as his 
 first postulate? Nuts to you brother! And I didn't realize that it was even..
 it was that bad for a long time. I.. I just found out it was that bad just 
 increasingly. I started out first believing that there were a lot of people 
 who were doing something on this. All right. 
 
 I turned around and I had hypnotism. I had a little advantage there 
 because I was using hypnotism that I had learned in India. And that doesn't 
 bear too much resemblance to Western hypnotism. You've got variety of 
 hypnotism there There are ninety thousand ways of putting a guy out - I swear
 there must be that many ways. I mean, you can just run on and on and on. 
 There's various things you do; you treat the perceptic lines in certain ways 
 and guys go "Ka-boom!" 
 
 -142- 

 For instance, I had a.. very amusing one time; I talked to the staff
 at Saint Elizabeth's. If you can place somebody in time and space - we can 
 put it out now - if you can place somebody in time and space with great 
 accuracy and then put a monotony on it, damnedest things happen. 
 
 So I talked to these people from Saint Elizabeth's, a spin-bin down
 around Washington, talked to the staff. And I was very careful to talk to the
 staff in a certain way - and put 'em to sleep. 
 
 Uh.. hypnosis bears a considerable resemblance to sleep and a person
 knows.. any auditor knows when he's dealing with a hypnotic subject. Any 
 auditor should know something about hypnosis because it's a very standard set
 of something or other. There are various things that will happen. The 
 breathing will become shallow, and uh.. the next thing that happens is their
 eyes will roll back up in their heads, like that, or roll down like this. And
 their eyelids will go flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker. And uh..
 if you do anything that makes people do that, and you've got them hypnotized,
 that's all. 
 
 There's various methods used. You just capture their perceptic line 
 and you're the only one in whom they're on agreement. You've just separated
 their agreement from the rest of the world and they think you're the only 
 one, see? Very simple. 
 
 Then be careful never to remind them that there's any other part of 
 the world with which to agree - don't do as I do here. I talk about this field
 and that field and some other field. And it spots it around, and it 
 requires.. you.. you go all over the doggoned space area, see? Well, that 
 keeps people awake, and it keeps them alert and they keep learning. Otherwise
 they just get to be a phonograph record. You could just turn them on and they
 go "Yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap-yap" and they run the whole lecture off verbatim
 and they haven't got anything there at all. All right. Now hypnotism could 
 then selectively vary structure. Anybody for the last 120 years could have 
 carried out this research project. This is not a special project and it's not
 anything unroutine. This was carried out as a routine piece of research. 
 Routine. 
 
 What do you do to a problem to solve it? First you ask the question.
 Before that you have to assume there's probably a solution. No reason to work
 on problems if you don't think there's any solution. You just assume there's
 a solution, then you go ahead and solve 'em. 
 
 And then you take the bodies of data that you have and you cut them 
 up in compartments and make sure that the compartments don't get confused on
 you. In this case, we cut up structure and function; we didn't say, "What are
 we going to use this bridge for?" and then neglect completely uh.. how.. what
 we were going to build it out of. And we didn't uh.. we.. we.. we.. we 
 chopped the problem in half, in other words, so that each half would be all:
 structure down to function and structure. Function down to function and 
 structure. One or the other probably did it. It certainly wasn't both, 
 although it could be this third one -- it's a team. Does it respond to 
 teamwork? The hell it does! 
 
 Guys sick and dying and brokenhearted and insane and unable to heal 
 their bodies and everything else, so it isn't working as a team. 
 
 All right, then therefore, they're probably separate functions. So 
 let's.. let's see if we can solve it that way. Hypnotism varied the hell out
 of the endocrine system; the endocrine system apparently was some kind of a
 meter. You could look at this meter called the "endocrine system" and you 
 could tell whether something was happening to somebody. 
 
 -143- 

 So if you varied their mind, you varied their structure. Oh boy! 
 Could you vary their structure. You could take hypnosis and you could 
 selectively shut off, by knowing what these glands influenced, you could shut
 off that function in the individual. 
 
 You know you can hypnotize somebody and tell him his nose is running?
 And.. and his nose is running. You can just get torrents of mucus running out
 of his head, just torrents. He could just take handkerchief after 
 handkerchief after handkerchief, and he'll just get them sopping. You can 
 start a person perspiring on command, and he'll sweat and sweat and sweat. 
 You can turn him hot; you can turn him cold; you can extend his hearing; you
 can contract his hearing. You can do anything of these with hypnotism. And 
 boy, it's just no good at all to find out what something's wrong with 
 somebody because they're non compis mentis when they're hypnotized. They're 
 just an effect. 
 
 But you set up this thing and you use this and you use it as a meter
 - a specialized form of use of the structure/function mechanism of the human
 body. You become the mind, let them be the structure and the somatic mind, or
 something of the sort. 
 
 Now, can we vary it? Boy, can we vary it! We can make guys fat, we 
 can make guys thin. We can do all sorts of things if you use good hypnotism.
 But we can't do it all the time. Why the hell can't we do it all the time? We
 find out in the field of structure we can never do it - that's advisedly 
 stated. It's just never. 
 
 Take the structural approach of electric shock, that's structural. 
 They give people electric shock. Do you know they haven't got a record of 
 electric shock ever doing anything for anybody? There isn't any record. But
 they do have a record that says that if they didn't give people electric 
 shocks, they get out of institutions six weeks earlier. 
 
 You know that these figures were never collected? You want to know 
 about criminal acts against humanity - go ahead and practice something 
 without ever getting any statistics - hmmmm. That's interesting, isn't it? 
 
 You know that I have the only survey that was ever impartially -- and
 it was really impartially - done on the subject of electric shock. And I 
 hired a guy to do it. He was not interested in Dianetics; he was not 
 interested in psychiatry. He was an investigation publication man and all we
 did was get all the results there were on the subject of electric shock, 
 wherever they were published by anyone, anywhere. And we collected them all
 together and drew them up on charts. Didn't cast any evaluation on them at 
 all, just drew them on the charts to see what the statistics would say. And
 I've just given you the results. We couldn't find a case anywhere - just a 
 case nowhere - where electric shock had ever improved anybody. 
 
 We couldn't even find out where it had selectively quieted people 
 down. We found out that there was a "three-day period" in electric shock. You
 gave them a shock every three days; they stayed very tractable, you know - 
 "Duhhh!" 
 
 Now anybody can make a corpse. You can do it with a bullet, but you 
 don't call bullets therapeutic. You see? So we had to define what's 
 therapeutic. But you say you can make the person better. Well, did it calm 
 him down and make him happy or anything? No, definitely not. 
 
 It gave him a terror of electricity, though. Fixed him up so he 
 wouldn't use force in any category, made him shed all responsibility for 
 everything. Uh.. did interesting things. 
 
 -144- 

 You can rehabilitate an electric shock - by the way, the way you 
 repair elec.. electric shocks aren't serious.. the way you repair it is just
 rehabilitate the guy's ability to mock-up force, that's all. You don't even
 address the electric shocks. He'll feel a buzz in his head once in a while 
 when you're doing this, and you just keep mocking up force - standard routine
 mock-up processing. Electric shock is simply electricity. 
 
 First thing you know - Room! There goes all the electric shocks in 
 the bank. They don't go suddenly or anything. They just cease to have any 
 effect upon him. So they are really pantywaist when it came to hurting people
 too. They weren't even tough enough to hurt people. Prefrontal lobotomy? Fix
 the guy up so he gets another body. 
 
 Uh.. okay. Now uh.. they're not dangerous. I talk about it merely 
 because it's a... 
 
 There.. there's only one thing that really outrages me. I.. I get 
 outraged just because I can't believe it. It just won't fit into re frame 
 uh.. uh. of reasoning. It.. It's just one of those things that I've always 
 been completely unable to see, is why can't somebody solve that problem? Uh..
 this.. these problems are all easy, they're just.. just so easy. And yet, 
 something like.. you.. there's somebody.. he's in.. he's in bad trouble, see?
 He's in bad trouble - he's starving to death. He.. he's.. he hasn't got 
 anything to eat and he's getting skin and bone and there he sits. And all 
 that he's got in front of him is a whole ham and loaves of bread and so 
 forth. And he's unable to solve the problem of how to get it into his mouth.
 
 You say, "No! That's complete idiocy!" 
 
 So you go at that problem. Anybody who wants to backtrack on that 
 work will find them very interesting material on it. And that's covered 
 rather full in Book One. It tells the various things you can do to somebody
 to stop this and start that. So it means what? That there's some kind of a 
 mechanism by which, if you can get some guy to agree, why then anything can
 happen. You could make him believe anything if he'll agree with it. Haaaa! 
 Hmmmm! He has to be in a special state. 
 
 All of a sudden you just take a look at the human race - we're trying
 to unhypnotize people. We're trying to wake people up, and it's simply that:
 we're trying to make them higher and higher alert. 
 
 I.. I dare say someday we may have a process which.. by which some 
 magical formula or other we simply say.. we simply say, "All right, now here
 you are in a hypnotized state with regard to life and existence, and you're
 in a little bit better, more awake condition at this moment than you 
 ordinarily are, but there's a much awaker condition than this, and the way 
 you awaken somebody out of this condition is to count from five to one and 
 snap your fingers. And if you count from five to one and snap your fingers, a
 person wakes all the way up. Now when I count from five to one and snap my 
 fingers, you will awake. Five, four, three, two, one - wake up!" The guy 
 comes into full consciousness. There might be such a.. such a process. It 
 would head in that direction. 
 
 By the way, you once in a while do that to a preclear and he gets 
 very startled. "Doiing! The lights just turned up!" Something like this. All
 right. 
 
 So that's the kind of modus operandi in which we worked and out of 
 this we discovered something which you can use today. There is a gimmick in
 the environment called a restimulator. You give a guy an hypnotic implant and
 
 -145- 

 you tell him to play with his tie. You tell him any time you play with your
 tie, he'll do so and so and then you wake him up. So you adjust your tie, and
 he does so and so. And pretty soon he says, "I wonder what I'm doing this 
 for? Well, I explain it this way..." And he's got some wild explanation that
 has no bearing on your tie. 
 
 For instance, you've said, "Every time I touch my tie," when he's 
 hypnotized, "every time I touch re tie, you will now.. you will cough." 
 
 Okay. So every time you touch your tie he says, "Aha-ahum," he says,
 "awfully drafty out, don't you think?" 
 
 And you say.... 
 
 And he says, "Aha-ahum." Fascinating. And he just keeps this up and 
 you finally wear the button out. 
 
 Two things you learned: the button can be worn out, and you can have
 some kind of a gimmick like a tie which will start a guy coughing. Hah! 
 
 But what's he do? First he rationalizes very generally, then he 
 narrows the rationalization - decides it's in the room. Then he narrows the
 room to you and starts to find a little bit of fault maybe with your clothes.
 And all of a sudden he'll look at your tie and he'll suddenly remember and 
 he'll go "Boom!" 
 
 "Oh, it's that tie! You told me when I was asleep so-and-so, that I 
 would cough every time you touched your tie! Aw, nuts!" 
 
 Now that means then that behavior can be transmitted to somebody who
 is put under a heavy current, and so on, a monotonous current inflow. And he
 could be put into this state. Doesn't matter much whether you shot him in the
 face with a gun and said, "You're dead" or you shot him in the face with a 
 gun with a blank cartridge in it and said, "You're dead." Most of the time 
 he'd die if you said, "You're dead." 
 
 You get the level of operation, then. It's just an inflow - boom! It
 doesn't matter whether it happens fast. If it happens very fast, you could 
 implant it quick. If it happens slow, you implant it more slowly. It operates
 in any case. 
 
 A man can be knocked out with drugs, he can be knocked out with a 
 blow. He can be hypnotized by physical pain, or by over-perception. Any of 
 these things. So we add these.. all these things up and you say, "For 
 heaven's sakes, these people are going around and they're falling down and 
 they're getting unconscious and people are saying, "Well, he's pretty bad 
 off, and he's awfully sick! Let's see if we can dig up any of these 
 experiences when somebody's unconscious and find out if this is a hypnotic 
 state." And you say, "Look at these people are going around and they do act
 as though they had restimulators in their environment. They.. somebody comes
 in a perfectly warm room and says, "My, how cold it is," and that's terribly
 aberrated behavior. And I keep observing it at all hands. And I wonder if it
 has something to do with this 'pin mechanism', the restimulator, which is the
 tie in the hypnotic incident." 
 
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's knock 'em out colder 
 than a mackerel with physical cause and physical reasons, and we'll just 
 avoid all the ritual and mumbo-jumbo of hypnotism and we will say, "Whenever
 I touch my tie, you will cough." And they come out of it groggily. And you 
 know, they.. they.. they just don't quite uh.. you touch your tie and they 
 just look a little uncomfortable - nothing. 
 
 -146- 

 And then you say, "Well, uh.. speaking of ties...." 
 And the fellow says, "What? Ahem!" 
 
 And you say, "Well, I was just talking about clothing - ties and that 
 sort of thing." 
 
 "Ahem!" 
 
 And you say, "Uh...." 
 
 And he goes, "Ahem!" 
 
 There's another condition necessary then. Ho-ho! There's a thing has 
 to happen called a key-in. When the unconsciousness is way deep, in order to
 get it into an action strata, there has to be a lock sitting on the very deep
 one. 
 
 So you've got the engram but it doesn't key in; it just sits there 
 until somebody comes along and mentions it in such a way as to sort of 
 trigger that into a higher level of consciousness. But it'll still lie there
 as an unconscious experience. 
 
 Do they wear out like hypnosis? Oh, yes, yep! You can wear this 
 button out just like you can wear out hypnosis. Hmmm. Well, let's just have
 him go over it again. And the guy remembers it all. At first he remembers 
 just the beginning, and then the end. And then he remembers the rest of it.
 And then there's more of it and then more of it. And what do you know! The
 button wears right on out. 
 
 And you finally says.. you finally mention "ties," he doesn't cough. 
 You touch your tie; he doesn't cough. 
 
 And what's he do when he finally discovers what you've done to him in 
 the hypnotic incident? He says, "Aww, nuts! That's why I was coughing!" 
 
 And with that same incident, you can turn on streams of mucus out of 
 somebody's nose. You can.. you can completely regulate their endocrine system
 in the most selective way. You could say, "Now, look. This stuff testosterone
 is bad, see. Your body can't absorb it. When you get a shot, it gives you no
 lift up sexually. Sexually, you're dead, fellow." 
 
 Two ways to do it: one is kick him in the genitals - that's correct. 
 Just as an injury of that selective line, all of a sudden interrupts the 
 testosterone balance of his system and keeps it interrupted long after you'd
 think that injury should have been set up. Or you can simply slug him out and
 tell him so. Two methods - both of them highly effective. 
 
 As long as we have the mind going unconscious when it happens. 
 Otherwise, nothing happens, except some kind of a little key-in or something.
 
 Well, if we run it through enough times it wears out, the endocrine
 system turns on again. Function is monitoring structure. What do you know, we
 got engrams. 
 
 Now we can operate on this guy; we can shoot this guy full of 
 hormones; we can talk to him about this; we can talk to him about that. We
 can hypnotize him to heal it, or we can feed him religion. And he doesn't get
 well! 
 
 -147- 

 You can go out and you can say, "Now look. If you just believe in the 
 great god Throg-Magog, and so on, you can put this whole god over alongside 
 of you and he'll monitor you and he'll tell you what to do after this." And 
 it'll just work out fine for a couple of days and then the guy will spin - 
 zing! He'll really spin because he's made something else responsible, of 
 course, as we know now. 
 
 All right, the great god Throg-Magog, then, could handle him for a
 couple of days and then handle him no more. Then he just goes downhill and
 downhill. 
 
 So what? All of these duress or control therapies - structures, 
 unconsciousnesses, hypnotism, medicine - in no case would alleviate a 
 condition. They would hold it in suspension or hold it in abeyance in some 
 fashion or another. But in the presence of a mental block on the subject, 
 nothing could be done! 
 
 If mister has gotten his back broken because he's got an engram about
 his back, it would be the same thing as though you told this fellow under 
 hypnosis he had to go out and get his back broken. Same thing. And you told 
 him forcefully enough and that he had to have an injured back, and it was 
 necessary to his survival to have an injured back, and everybody feels so 
 sorry for him to have it, and make it very desirable to have an injured back,
 he'd go out and break his back. 
 
 And what do you know? You heal it up and you could strap it up and 
 heal it up and fix it up any way you wanted to and it wouldn't get well, and 
 it wouldn't get well, and it wouldn't get well until you pulled the doggoned 
 incident. 
 
 Now you can ha.. do that. And the tests.. we're on such things as a 
 cut finger. You'd knock the guy out and cut his finger and then tell him how 
 valuable that finger cut was, and tell him he should get his finger cut. Just 
 put a little pain in it, don't hurt it any. But give him enough pain so he's 
 got pain on the unconsciousness. And out he goes, and hurts his finger. And 
 he'll hurt his finger, and he'll hurt his finger - and he'll hurt his finger, 
 and he'll hurt his finger. And every time he hurts his finger he gets another 
 engram. Hmmm. He gets more sympathy too. Hmmm. 
 
 In other words, it's getting deeper and deeper and deeper, and worse 
 and worse and worse, all the way down the line. 
 
 So we've got the same mechanism at work and they can be worn out. But 
 they require key-ins just like hypnotism does. And you can run all of these 
 various experiments and you'll find them very productive. And you'll find out 
 you can run incidents like locks, and you can run locks wholesale. You can 
 scan 'em, you can run all sorts of things all over the place, and you won't 
 have any trouble with them. 
 
 Now on the assist, for God's sake, don't forget the assist because
 it's one of the best ways to handle something - an immediate injury. Boy, you
 can get that thing down, bang! 
 
 But there's what's known as a creative processing assist. Give him 
 new thumbs, if he's hurt his thumb. Process parts of the body: mock up parts 
 of the body, get superfluity on parts of the body, lots of 'em. Break the 
 back of the MEST universe motto, "It shall be scarce!" And break the back on 
 it. And the way you do that is just that, by giving the guy an abundance of 
 mock-up. 
 
 -148- 

 You see, the mock-up is more real than actuality as some people here
 are finding out. "You know, this MEST universe isn't very real. But these
 mock-ups I'm getting are beautifully real." 
 
 Now of course, you get somebody.. you back somebody up,.you have to 
 know where you're backing them to. And we find out, all of a sudden, you're 
 backing them to a high level of self-determinism and yet we find out to stop 
 at a short point on self-determinism is almost.. is quite undesirable. 
 
 So you have to get him up to a high level of self-determinism where 
 he is a good, ethical being as well as a very strong one. And we find out he 
 has to be a very strong being in order to be an ethical being. And uh.. so 
 that sort of has to solve itself in that direction. 
 
 And we've moved right straight out of structure entirely. The second
 the guy can handle all force, he can handle structure. He can have it or not
 have it at will. He can step out of his head and mock up some structure, and
 he can do it well enough so that somebody will have to accept it. You can do
 a much better job than this universe, by the way. 
 
 Now, you could continue to live in confluence with your friends. You 
 could continue to live in the MEST universe. You could continue to do all 
 sorts of things. But with this knowledge and this information you could bail 
 yourself out. That's important. With the data which has been accumulated on 
 this, you can bail yourself out. There isn't much that you can get into that 
 you can't get yourself out of, even if you're all by yourself. These 
 processes will work actually, on yourself, all by yourself. 
 
 So we've gone on up the line to a collection of data, and this data
 is very brief, but really - it's there. It's just all roads lead to Rome on
 the thing. Self-determinism and that's Q-l. 
 
 And.. but - look at the basic datum: what was Man trying to do? He 
 had the answer to that: he's trying to survive. That sounds kind of silly, 
 "He's just trying to survive," but that's right. That's all he's trying to 
 do. There's no reason why he's trying to survive. It's just a game, it's 
 something to do and he got in too deep. And then he got to be a broken piece 
 and then nobody could help him out. Then he couldn't help himself out, so 
 somebody had to bail him out. I think he could've helped himself out, myself.
 
 Now, uh.. the data accumulated showed us a heck of a lot of things 
 and all of these things were of the highest importance maybe, at one time or 
 another, uh.. as processes. But fortunately, you don't have to know all these
 trick processes. But you do have to know the phenomena, because you'll 
 encounter the phenomena and their.. you have to know that direct address of 
 phenomena is an agreement with the MEST universe that it exists. So you have 
 to back up from that phenomenon. 
 
 So under processing we get, of course, the Auditor's Code, how is it 
 done? It's done from a high level - that could also be called the Code of How
 to Be Civilized - it's done from a very high level of ethic. Not from a 
 moral.. when you start to get victimized by the Auditor's Code it has become 
 a moral code to you, because it's no longer reasonable, because it's damaging
 one dynamic. But don't bust it as a straight break, because that is even more
 damaging. There is an ethical way of handling all of this. And the best way 
 is to be so strong that you wouldn't have any inclination to. And you start 
 to help somebody out, they just get helped out, poor fellow. 
 
 And the fellow says, "Well, yap, yap, yap." 
 
 -149- 

 And you say, "Huh?" 
 "Well, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap, yap." 
 You say, "Poor guy, you really mean it." It doesn't bother you. 
 
 He runs all around the neighborhood, he says, "You know that auditor 
 down there, he's just terrible. He does horrible things," and so forth. 
 "Beautiful women go in there day and night. You know, he really, all horrible 
 things happen in that place - terrible. Very immoral and all that sort of 
 thing." 
 
 If you're tough enough and you radiate far enough, do you know that 
 the neighbors wouldn't uh.. wouldn't even be disturbed. Doubtful, though, in 
 this society. One has to assume there's something there, and so on. 
 
 All right. Now in page 38 here we have the Theta Entity and the Theta 
 Entity is a misnomer. There is no such thing as the Theta Entity. It's a 
 typist error, uh.. and it might not be in the book. It should have been 
 caught. What's meant there is the Thetan. We know about that. Uh.. the 
 entities? They're ridges on which facsimilies are planted and I was drawing 
 you some pictures in a recent lecture about all these squares and --
 compartments across the top. Each one of those things can be a thinking 
 entity. It thinks it's alive. It can think as a being as long as energy is 
 fed to it. 
 
 Always remember that one: as long as energy is fed to it, it can 
 think and act as a being. Therefore, if you, quote, pay attention to it, it 
 will think and act. You start talking to an entity and, of course, it talks 
 back. With what energy? Yours. 
 
 Now the auditor can actually start talking to an entity and energize 
 it, just as people in a person's environment energize his entities very 
 often. They come in and energize an entity and they get him dispersing and 
 doing this and that. They actually are blowing energy at an entity. And it's 
 apparently thinking, acting - that's the way they control him. That's a 
 beautiful control mechanism. 
 
 The entities will have the damnedest facsimiles on them, and they'll 
 apparently be stuck on the time track someplace. Each one different from 
 every other one. That's because of the various ridges on which facsimiles are 
 planted. And that's all an entity is. 
 
 You can blow an entity to pieces any time you want. Every once in a 
 while you get the strangest spooky notion that there's other thetans. And 
 every once in a while in a preclear you'll get some very, very decadent 
 thetan out of him. 
 
 You take a look and he'll say, "You know, that's a funny thing. 
 There's a glow that's of a very low order on a ridge and I can't seem to 
 handle that ridge. And I don't seem to be able to do anything with that 
 ridge." 
 You say, "Is there anything else on it?" 
 "Yeah." 
 
 "Well, now detach that thing. Well, you got that thing detached 
 there? Well now detach the whole ridge and throw it away." 
 
 -150- 

 They actually will be occasionally, but they're not active. 
 
 Preclears will also have the idea that they're hanging around the 
 backs of their necks. They've got old currents and old ridges will go into 
 vibration. And they start thinking about the backs of their necks and, of 
 course, any ridge that's on the backs of their necks will go into vibration.
 And they get the idea that entities or.. or en-thetans - ah, that's a 
 wonderful word - en-thetans are creeping up on them and crawling up on them,
 and that they're being mobbed by this and that and so on. They can be very 
 convinced about this, by the way; and that they're.. they're about to be 
 attacked, or the whole town is about to be blown up or any damn thing you 
 could think of. And uh.. they'll get very worried about this. 
 
 The truth of the matter is, no matter how dark it is there's nothing 
 can touch you. Unless you sit down and carefully determine that something's
 going to. And if you carefully make up your mind that something is going to
 happen to you, you can undoubtedly fix it up so it will. 
 
 Now, that's the sum and substance then of entities. As far as running 
 engrams, I've just given you a dissertation on it. That's really all you have
 to know about running an engram. Spot the incident where it happened, and 
 make the guy go through it so many times he is so sick of it. 
 
 It's very strange to people sometimes. They'll be quite amused at the 
 first time they ever discover a this-life engram. They went all the way 
 through the operation; they were completely alert all the way through it. 
 Or.. or there are parts of the operation that they're not alert in. 
 
 Don't be too surprised if there's chunks of engrams that ought to be 
 there that aren't there. Don't be too surprised at this. You're dealing with
 energy and concept of energy, and the fellow had a concept that it was there
 once upon a time, but something might have caved that ridge in. There might
 be a heck of a scramble of energy in the vicinity of this thing. A piece of
 it might be missing. 
 
 Now sometimes during an operation a whole ridge will blow. Don't 
 think that a preclear suddenly.. by the way, never make this mistake, that 
 this is a sudden and strange manifestation that occurs - these ridges and 
 flows and things like that; they're.. they're sudden manifestations that 
 occur the moment the person became a preclear and never existed before that.
 Don't make that mistake. They put a.. put a patient on an operating table and
 they come down with that knife or that machine or something of the sort, and
 there's a bad shock. And this shock results in an electronic flash. And 
 that's some ridge blowing up. They don't have anything connected to him to 
 demonstrate what's happening. But he comes out of that and he's a vastly 
 changed being. They've blown his bank up. And scrambled his incidents and 
 ruined him. And he's got to be rehabilitated in the handling of energy. 
 
 Very often an operation produces results solely because it merely 
 shifts a person on a time track. Probably that's the only reason it does, I
 don't know. But uh.. I wouldn't say so far as that. You can still patch up a
 broken leg, although you're a hell of a.. you're a hell of a thetan that 
 can't fix up a broken leg, let me tell you. Well, throw that one away and get
 another one. That's right, it's a better looking leg anyway. I mean that's..
 that's about the way it goes. 
 
 All right, uh.. the running of engrams, then, can become complicated 
 by manifestations of energy and the fact that one tries to have the engram so
 he can run it. And of course there are vectors in it, so the second he tries
 to have it the thing will very often go away from him and he doesn't have it
 
 -151- 

 any more. Or he tries not to have it and, of course, it moves at that moment 
 right in on him. 
 
 There's one way of doing this, is sort of emanate in the direction of 
 the ridges. You emanate in the direction of the ridges, they'll start 
 lighting up. Just blow in their direction. Don't emanate anything except a.. 
 a flow - not a agreement or disagreement or anything else - just.. just 
 emanate in that direction, and look. And, what do you know? Engrams will come 
 into view. 
 
 You just postulate yourself a little higher up tone scale, see, than 
 you have to be. You don't agree or disagree or have to have or not have to 
 have, and so forth. Just emanate a little bit in that direction. Just feel 
 yourself flow in that direction a bit and engrams that are otherwise.... 
 
 The guy says, "I can't run that incident," and you know he's sitting 
 in Mama's death and so forth. You can just get him to emanate kind of out in 
 front of him or around back of him or wherever this engram's parked. It's 
 parked geographically. It.. because.. he.. it's just one that he didn't say, 
 "Go into yesterday" to. 
 
 See, you have to actively say to an engram, "Go into the last five 
 minutes,"or it won't go. And then you have to hide from yourself the 
 mechanism of doing that in order not to know you do it. Automaticity enters 
 in on it and you'll forget you're doing it. 
 
 Actually, it's a completely conscious process. Every instant of time
 is a completely conscious process. So that if you.. if you.. if you're not 
 just saying, "Time. Time. Time. All right. Don't have. Don't have. Don't 
 have. Park. Park. Park. Park. Park. Park" of time, you haven't got any time 
 track. 
 
 A guy sometimes gets into the state of not doing anything with it, 
 see? And he wonders, "Where's my sonic?" It's all stacked, right in front of 
 his face. It's all right. He can stretch it out and he's got it all again. 
 Only he's got to stretch it out. He's got to say, "Well, that's in last year. 
 Now we'll string it from there." And he'd have a track. 
 
 But you have to do that, you see? And it's not spatial. YOU DON'T 
 SHIFT SPACE. You have to.. you.. it's the same space as the thing occurred -
 in. It's just disappearing in that space. And when he's mastered that trick, 
 he's mastered time. It.. it's simply time.. time past is "not have". It's 
 just "not have," that's all. 
 
 And time that isn't is just "will have". And time that is, is "have 
 it". It's so simple. You can go on like this and explain like this. And it's 
 something like trying to explain ad nauseam that golf balls are white because 
 they're white. That's all, they're just white. 
 
 Now you run secondaries, grief charges, and you're into the subject 
 of loss. And what do you know, right back into time again. Loss is what? No 
 time. You run a secondary the same way you run an engram. You start them in 
 at the beginning. They can be in terror, they can be in fear, be in any of 
 those things. If you just tell the preclear, start him just like this. 
 
 You say, "All right, when was the first moment you received news of 
 your father's death?" 
 
 And the preclear says, "Well, I remember clearly that so-and-so," and 
 he's doing a big pretense. The engram is sitting right in front of his face 
 
 -152- 

 and he's saying it isn't there. See? "Well, I recall this, I know this. Yeah.
 And, uh.. somebody told me...." That's a lock on it - "that." 
 
 And you say, "No, no, no, no, no, no. When is the first moment you 
 can pick up there that you heard your father died?" 
 "Oh, um, I guess it was a telephone call." 
 "All right. Answer the phone." 
 "Well, I can't remember that far..." 
 
 "Now just a minute. Pick up that telephone. Where does the telephone
 normally sit? Take a look at it. All right, you got the telephone? Well, now
 answer it. Now what is said to you over the phone?" 
 
 And the guy runs it off, and all of a sudden, "What the hell," he 
 says. "I'm hearing this again." He runs it on through and at first he's very
 vague and he gets upset and it's very thin. And then he gets closer in and 
 closer in to the thing. And then cries maybe or gets terrified or gets upset
 and.. and it all goes by the boards. Well, that's solved by having and not 
 having. You could say, "Now get having and not having on the subject of Papa,
 having to have a father, not having to have a father." You do the same trick
 by running it on a flow so these processes are not disrelated. 
 
 Now, running locks, you can just scan those wholesale. A lock 
 requires a heavy incident to sit on. There's got to be pain and 
 unconsciousness in the incident before locks started gathering on it. 
 
 So when Joe Jinx comes in the room and he says, "Eeeeeowwww! A black 
 cat!" you say, "What's the matter with you?" 
 
 "Oh, I hate black cats! Do you know every time I see a black cat, I 
 get a black eye? I'm going to leave. I get terrible sinusitis too. Ohhh! 
 You've got a potted geranium! Oh, I can't stand geraniums! I'm...." and so on
 and so on. As he goes down the steps he sees that somebody's left a roller 
 skate on the steps. He can't abide anything like that. Why aren't people....
 "Oh, a newel post on a ban...." 
 
 What is this guy trying to do? He hasn't found his restimulator. He's
 looking all over the environment, see, trying to find the guy with the hand 
 on the tie. He knows there's a signal and he's supposed to do something, and
 he fu.. lost the signal. And he just starts jumping at the whole environment.
 And you get what is known as associative restimulators. Because it's a hand 
 on a tie he's looking for, any tie hanging up anyplace drives him into fits.
 And because ties hang on shirts, any shirt hanging up anyplace turns him into
 fits. And because shirts go on bodies, then any body hanging up any place 
 turns him into fits. And because bodies hang any place, then any place turns
 him into fits. You get how this is working? 
 
 All right, you can actually sit a guy down on an E-meter and look for
 the restimulator. "What's the gimmick? What's making you jump?"You could just
 search for it relentlessly. It's rather a long process but you just search 
 for it and you'll find that the reason this guy's nervous and the reason that
 guy's eyes are bad - for instance, why is the guy's eyes bad? You could look
 in the real universe, laughingly called, and find out exactly what he's 
 hoping he won't see. 
 
 So the first drop you will get is, "Are you afraid you'll see 
 something" - crash! Now what is it he doesn't want to see? He doesn't want to
 
 -153- 

 see one of these restimulators. Because if he sees this restimulator, then he 
 has to do a Saint Vitus Dance, or something, see, he knows that. 
 
 -
 
 All right, so we're right back on to the same basic formula that we 
 were on before - the environment is upsetting. Well, he has certainly agreed 
 that it would be upsetting so you'd better gradiently break his agreement 
 with the whole darned environment. Because if you don't, there isn't any 
 halfway point. 
 
 Oh, get that envir.. that.. get that environment beautifully unreal. 
 Get him absentmindedly walking through walls, tipping his hat to his hostess 
 at night and walking through the front door and out, forgetting to open it. 
 Going out and sitting down comfortably just outside of the curb, and turning 
 on the switch and driving home - not remembering that he didn't bring the car 
 that night. 
 
 Life could be beautiful. Of course, I don't guarantee what's going to 
 happen to other people. You see, in view of the fact that this is all science 
 fiction, it's so incredible that uh.. nobody will believe it anyway. And a 
 fellow says, "Oh! This big tough guy at the party. He's always the life of 
 the party, you know. He's big and he smokes cigars, you know, and he drinks 
 heavily and he was a boxer in his youth. He's strong, knocks the girls crazy. 
 He, oh, they're for him. And he tears telephone books in half, you know. 
 Throws them negligently over his shoulder. Tears packs of cards in half - 
 real tough, see? Real strong." 
 
 It won't hurt this fellow's reality any after he's torn telephone 
 books in half to have them lie on the floor and then tear 'em in quarters - 
 without anybody touching them. 
 
 So, it's a good thing we're.. we're operating completely behind the 
 mask of any reality. 
 
 You're gonna bust somebody's reality to glory with this sort of 
 thing. You can already bust their.. if you just took one of these processes 
 here, you could still bust their reality. 
 
 "Everybody knows that after a certain age, such and so couldn't 
 possibly happen and the body couldn't heal about this and that." My God! 
 We've turned off cancer and diabetes and leukemia and.. and so on. The.. 
 actually auditors have hauled them off of death beds now for two and a half 
 years and braced them up and put a couple of spikes through their hair to 
 hold them up on the wall until a better process came along. But they are 
 still alive! 
 
 Actually Dianetics and Scientology have probably saved several 
 thousand lives - I don't know. I would say so because I kept.. I started 
 keeping a case history on.. a long time ago, and it got too numerous and I 
 couldn't keep it. Guys would just keep writing in. I wish I had it now, the.. 
 the.. just what letters I had on the subject, and so forth, were once in 
 existence. And they're not now. 
 
 But, uh.. gee, they just kept coming in and coming in and coming in 
 and coming in. It's a very funny thing. There are an awful lot of book 
 auditors out in the field who did a tremendous amount of good, really used it 
 down the line. 
 
 Some of.. sometimes these auditors study a technique, they'll find it
 too fast, they can't charge a preclear enough for it. They'd rather have a
 slower technique than these new techniques. Boy, that's really.. they're 
 
 -154- 

 really in agreement with the MEST universe when they figure that there's got
 to be scarcity. They're creating a scarcity themselves. 
 
 You see, if they suddenly took up.. took ten people and took ten days
 and cured all those ten people - oh, no! The.. the horrible reality shatter 
 that would occur in their neighborhood would be such that there would be Aunt
 Mamie and Uncle Joe up there, the relatives, saying, "You know, I have a 
 friend. And I wanted to know if you couldn't do something for this friend of
 mine, because uh.. uh.. of course, that friend wouldn't be me." 
 
 Now, that's all very simple, this business of running concepts and 
 feelings. You can get any kind of a concept and just get the guy to hold it 
 for a little while - and it wears out. 
 
 And uh.. then there's running ridges, running circuits out, there's 
 blowing up circuits. Well, your thetan can run around the body and pull these
 things off, you know, and hook 'em up to light taps or digest the energy or 
 squash 'em, or light fire to one corner of the ridge and blow up the rest of
 the ridge. It's very fascinating. You can handle a ridge any way you want to.
 You just simply get out and take a look at it and do something with it. 
 Ground it, or turn it purple or change it around or fit it across the back 
 instead of across the back of the head. And then finally you've changed it 
 often enough, you said, "To hell with it. We won't bother with this ridge any
 more." 
 
 All right, let's put another ridge on, and then mock up one and put 
 it on, then fasten that one in good and strong. You say, "Wait a minute. I'm
 fooling with re own body, and the ridge which I just mocked up is a perfectly
 good, solid ridge." We'd better come off of this. We'd better not do this any
 more because that's getting just too real." And then one day you say, "I 
 wonder, if I put a ridge between those two E-meter cans, if it'd short out 
 the E-meter?" And you sigh deeply because there are the E-meter cans lying 
 several feet apart, and you've got a line between them and the needle 
 registers. 
 
 You say, "I thought I was handling just.. just imaginary things, and 
 here I was handling real juice!" 
 
 And running a live flow, that's running present time flow. You just 
 manufacture energy and blow things up with it, that's all. You just say, 
 "Let's see now. There's a lot of ridges on me, or there's a lot of ridges on
 this preclear, or there's a lot of flows going on, or a lot of dispersals 
 going on. Let's see - what do we do about this? Hmrrrnmm, well, let's just 
 throw a beam at it. Let's throw a beam at 'em and burn 'em up." And boy, you
 don't want to get too fancy with that the first time your power starts coming
 on. You'll blow the GE up - really. He'll just go.. start going "Ka-paw! Pow!
 Pow! Pow!" And the preclear's sitting there. 
 
 If you wanted to be real ornery, just take a bead on his ridge - on a
 front ridge. It's bad to blow ridges, to hell with blowing ridges. Just put
 them in yesterday or something. Why worry about blowing 'em. 
 
 Uh.. but.. uh.. you put a beam on this ridge he's got across his 
 face, you could really raise hell with him. Just kind of tune it and say, 
 "Kok! Wave length is so-and-so." You don't have to say wave length any more.
 You say s.. "Now match the wave length now. Okay, there's the ridge. Now, an
 energy flow will flow - ker-whap!" 
 
 And the guy'll go "Booo!" 
 
 -155- 

 And you'll say, "My God! What happened? What happened? Did a 
 lightbulb blow up? I'm kind of blind. There was a flash." And it really will.
 We're speaking in a term of reality, now, that you test with great ease. 
 Those are the easier things. 
 
 Now as far as freeing a thetan by concept and feeling is concerned, 
 and freeing the thetan in various other ways, present and future, by 
 dichotomies and tone scale - all of that, we've been covering all this. 
 
 "Get the concept that you need a body. Now let's get the concept that 
 you don't need a body. Let's get the concept that you do need a body" - 
 you're not running a flow, really, and so... 
 
 And the guy says "But I DO need one." 
 
 "Well, get the concept that you do. All right, now get the concept 
 you don't." 
 
 "But I do need one." 
 
 "All right, get the concept that you do," and you say, "For Christ's 
 sakes! Get the concept that you do." And the guy runs it. 
 
 Two hours later, "You still got that?" 
 
 "Yeah - got the concept that I do." Two hours and fifteen minutes 
 later, "You know I'm getting the idea that I don't need this body!" 
 
 Well, you don't just abandon it at that moment. You say, "All right, 
 get the concept you don't need the body." He'll run that for an hour. "Now, 
 get the concept you do need the body." He's changed his mind again, flows 
 reversed, you see? You're not paying attention to the flow, you just hold the
 feeling and God knows what happens - or hold the concept, rather. 
 
 Now the feeling is quite different than the flow. Aesthetics are very 
 good. You are right on solid ground and as far as by dichotomies, why, 
 there's nothing easier than dichotomies to run - positive and negative. I 
 mean your flow comes one way, then goes the other way. 
 
 Dichotomy means yes and no - positive and negative. It says, for 
 everything.. now, somebody was saying, "How would you run Agree and Disagree
 on having?" Well, get your agreement to have, get your disagreement in having
 - positive and negative. And you'll get flows and they'll flow around. Of 
 course, that's slow freight. Actually running flows and that sort of things 
 or running engrams has this.. has a bug in it, as a process, and why it was 
 always a slow process. 
 
 The preclear has to postulate that he's an effect of them before he 
 has anything happen to him. He has to say, "All right, now I know that it's 
 there," and maybe this is just admitting it's there. But at the same time 
 he's waiting to be an effect of an energy flow, never a cause of an energy 
 flow. 
 
 So you're processing somebody down scale, and when you're running 
 mock-up processing you're postulating your preclear as cause continually, and
 never as an effect. 
 
 He says, "Now look," he says. "I keep getting these mock-ups!" He 
 says, "My God, do you know the back of my neck is about to burn! I can just 
 feel the flames coming on.. off of it!" 
 
 -156- 

 And you say, "Well, no, no, no. That's just all right. All right, 
 now get this anchor and put it back through the bottom of the boat. Now lift 
 it up. All right, all right. It's a lot of work. 
 
 "You know, my neck...!" 
 
 You say, "We're worried about an anchor. Now how about that?" 
 
 Now don't think, really, that your mock-up has to be very similar to 
 the ill the person is running, because as he gets better and better, you can 
 test whether he's getting better and better because at first when you've got 
 Mama, you had Mama - identification, see? Mock-up identified with reality. 
 And then next you could.. you could get something dressed up in women's 
 clothes and so forth, vaguely the same period, and that could be called Mama. 
 And then.. he's perfectly satisfied with that. Now the next time he gets 
 something and he's got a broomstick. And he can.. he can call that Mama. And 
 now the next thing he's got out in front of him there, uh.. he's got a.. his 
 mother never had anything to do with church and he's got a hymn book. And he 
 can call that Mama. And then he's got a crumpled-up sheet of paper - no 
 significance, you understand. I mean there's no symbolized association. 
 
 Now, Freudian psychoanalysis halted people in the association band. 
 It at least permitted them to associate instead of identify, and then stopped 
 them in that band, by insisting that it was an association and that their 
 symbolizations associated with real life. And then having gotten them into 
 that band, took them downband again by making them agree. 
 
 And if the IQ were ever taken on a patient undergoing psychoanlysis,
 daily tests - that sort of thing - if there'd ever been any thorough work
 done on this field... 
 
 You think I'm just being sarcastic. Well, for any field to stand 
 around and pretend we do thorough research. Oh, my God! They never did any. 
 You look in the books and all you'll find is opinions, opinions, opinions, 
 opinions, opinions. "Where's the data? How many people were run to get this 
 opinion?" 
 
 "Well, we never ran anybody on that opinion that's.. the aesthetics
 wouldn't let us. Let's go into the aesthetics before we go into any reason.
 Let's not get to the aesthetics afterwards." 
 
 Uh.. and - by the way, what's wrong with most young writers is when 
 they're trying to make this society agree with them and buy their stuff. They 
 fail to get a reasonable bone structure with which to be aesthetic. And they 
 insist on being aesthetic without a bone structure. 
 
 Psychoanalysis did that - Freudian psychoanalysis insisted on being 
 very aesthetic, without any guts. And uh.. they didn't know what this was and 
 yet they tried to dress it up. This society and Man at the state he was, 
 wouldn't stand for this. And that is not just the failure of psychoanalysis. 
 I would not say it failed - it never got started. 
 
 Anyway uh.. the point we're having for supper tonight is simply this
 little slight datum. And that is that you want your preclear to be cause all
 the distance you can, so even though he starts to get into a period... First
 he's identifying. He has to see Mama in the mock-up to have Mama in the 
 mock-up. Mama has to be live and breathing and everything before he's.. she's
 really satisfied that he's there. Of course, if he's negative, he can't even
 get Mama in the mock-up, it's below that. 
 
 -157- 

 And then he gets a broomstick and then he gets a prayer book and then 
 he has a crumpled piece of paper. And then he's.. he tells you he's got a 
 whup. And you say, "What's a whup?" 
 
 He says, "Well, you can't see it. Well, yes, you can. See?" And you 
 look at this thing, and it's a nice piece of Picasso design work - that's 
 Mama. No significance. 
 
 DON'T EVER, ever, ever, ever, ever, exclamation point, underscore, in 
 italics in 18 points caps, ASK YOUR PRECLEAR TO EVALUATE WHAT HIS MOCK-UP 
 MEANS IN TERMS OF REALITY. If you do that, you have missed the whole point of
 8008. You've just missed the whole cockeyed show. 
 
 Never ask him.. you.. you know damn well, you say, "Isn't that
 interesting? Every time we talk about his boyhood he gets this factory
 chimney - ha! Phallic symbolism. Every time we do." 
 
 Well, you know something? If you were to suddenly point this out to 
 him or have him find it out, you know he'd go down tone scale on a meter and 
 in IQ. The work in this field has been carefully done - extremely carefully 
 done. And I wish somebody had done that careful work before, because I had to
 do a lot of work that should have been done. 
 
 That made me mad, by the way. I got awful mad about that. But.. I 
 went on a tearing fury about five years ago. I found out all of a sudden 
 there wasn't any statistical data in the field of psychoanalysis. And I - 
 unhhhh! It's been in existence since 1894 and nobody's ever done statistics. 
 And I kept asking people and I went around to psychological departments and I
 went around to other people and they said, "Why, no. It doesn't exist." And 
 they said, "Well, we have experimental psychology." 
 
 And I said, "No, no, no, no, no. I want to know what's happening ip
 the field of psychoanlysis. I'm not interested in anything else. Now where's
 the statistics?" Ummmph! 
 
 I'll be damned if I didn't have to sit down and for 30 days - I would 
 have been much rather out there pushing a car on the desert, or I would have 
 been much happier down in a hotspot or someplace else. I have to sit down and
 run people on libido theories. 
 
 You say, "Well now, how is your guilt" - and by the way, I did this 
 very well. I'm very well educated and so on. "Yes, Mrs. Jones. Yes, life has 
 been hard for you, hasn't it. Well, now supposing you just go on talking. 
 Uh-huh. Just go on talking - that's right. Just go on talking some more." 
 
 And you all of a sudden said, "Oh again. What was that again?" 
 
 "Ohhhh, why, you seem to be fixated on the Grand Canyon. You've 
 mentioned the Grand Canyon eight times. Now what does the Grand Canyon mean 
 to you? Oh? Tch- tch-tch-tch-tch." Just go ahead on this line. 
 
 Now let's find out that - I.. I didn't know what I was doing to this 
 degree: I didn't know a lot of things, but I knew this, that I could get 
 people who had had analysis, whose college within the last three or four 
 years, had been - therefore psychometry was fully in existence at the moment 
 of their leaving college - who had then had an analysis. 
 
 God! Getting the statistics together took about 30 days of precious
 time and the statistics were damning! Oh, they were just grim! Terrible! It
 said 25% of them went spinny. Hah! 
 
 -158- 

 It said some percentage I won't mention committed suicide because of
 it. And you know where the gimmick is? They,made the patient agree with the
 real universe and it spun him in. And they showed him that every dream he 
 had, every dream he ever could have was really caused by the real universe.
 And that he wasn't free to have an illusion of his own, but that every 
 illusion was motivated by the real universe. And that's a control operation
 that kills them. It slaughters them in their tracks. That's right. 
 
 So, don't ever let me catch you pulling the same operation. The 
 course runs the opposite direction entirely, Get them to disagree with the
 MEST universe. And not even by fighting it, just "to hell with it!" 
 
 And you'll find out their differentation above the association level
 - they differentiate more and more and more and more and more and more - 
 until there isn't any relationship between what they're checking up and the
 MEST universe. 
 Okay. Let's call it an afternoon. 
 Hope you've learned something this afternoon.
