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 freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be

stamped out as heritics. 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 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 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

Transcript of Taped Lecture by L. Ron Hubbard 



5ACC-19 - 5404C23 



Number 22 of "Universes and the War between

Theta and Mest" cassettes.



SOP 8-DB



A lecture given on 23 April 1954





Want to talk to you about the difficulties an auditor may

have in processing a case. Although we're still fighting

for that last 2, 3, 10 percent of the cases the auditor

doesn't resolve readily, anything you know about a case, of

course, solves the easier case faster. So the stress here

is really not on the difficult case, not at all, the stress

is actually on the most fundamental factors which we can

assemble concerning cases in general.



The primary weapons which we have are what we know about

the physical universe and universes at large; the

static-theta; the cycle of action of the MEST universe -

create-survive-destroy; the theory of communication; the

triangle ARC; the role that agreement plays in reality; the

particle composition that comes to be effort and

everything else which is actually basically affinity.



When you study particles you're studying affinity. You see

that? Should be very clear to you. When you're studying

matching particles, you're studying reality, and when

you're studying space and particles you're studying

communication. So the ARC triangle, of course, falls

immediately below that point where theta deserts the

complete pervasiveness, complete knowingness, but no action

- falls below that point where theta first makes some

space. And the ARC triangle proceeds on down from there.



Actually, the first point of it is actually communication.

Theta takes a look, which itself creates space. Just by

taking a look, space is created; viewpoint of dimension.

And the next step into that is, of course, the A part,

because in order to have something to be in affinity with

something, the first step of that would be to have a

particle. And then we swing around into the R part of the

triangle, the ARC triangle. There has to be a second

particle because it takes two to make an agreement. "One

stick won't burn," as they say in Norway. They mean by

that, of course, that it takes two to make a fight, and

this is essentially the fact of the case.



Now, if you could look at the ARC triangle as something

that was spiraled into, first on a look and then on a

particle, and then on a couple of particles, alike or not

alike, why, we would see how this whole setup known as

universes (the MEST universe particularly) apparently gets

set up.



You see that? So we've got ARC there. When we know some of

these fundamentals, a case looks much easier. We have

several principles which take prominence in all processing.

One of those principles is "That which is not admired tends

to persist." Another method of saying this is "That which

is surviving was once upon a time detested." That's sort of

a grim backwards look at the thing. There's another

principle that goes in there is "Well, if they all say it's

wrong I'll keep on doing it until I prove it's right." Did

you ever see a kid do this?



Well, your preclear's hanging onto a body because, boy, is

that wrong. If he can hang onto one long enough though

he'll prove he's right. He's got all this space around here

in the physical universe because basically he detests hell

out of it. And as far as the particles are concerned he'd

rather be dead than see a particle, but he does all these

things.



You see if you could keep mocking up and unmocking

particles there'd be no sense in keeping a particle around.

So some time or another you must have mocked up a particle

that was just horrible. Everybody says, "You ought to

destroy that thing." That's other-determinism. You can't

admit other-determinism so you say, "Well, I won't. Keep it

around."



So we get something like the Chrysler Building's dome, and

it still sits there, architectural unsplendor. We get a

military man for president. You see, that's one thing the

American people have said for generations they would never

do. And they finally broke down and elected a fellow by the

name of Grant, and he was so dumb that he let every

financier in the country loot the place, and so they said,

"Well, now we know we'll never do that again." And so they

eventually elected Eisenhower. And you know, just as soon

as you can get somebody fighting a terminal and closing

terminals with it, why, he'll sooner or later shift valence

on his opinion.



A very clever thing to do if you really wanted to make this

society completely plow in to a point of where it would

have a weapon for sanity would be to write every medical

doctor a beautifully printed brochure telling him how he

must fight Scientology, telling him what it means to him if

Scientology remains alive. Describing how awful it is and

trying to enlist his aid in stamping out this horrible

reptile that is sneaking in to gobble up his practice. And

he'd eventually be sitting there saying "Well, all right,

now give me another place where your head would survive."

He couldn't help it. If he knew nothing about the modus

operandi of existence, of course, it would simply trap him

fair and square.



Well now, what good is it for you to know the modus

operandi of existence? Well actually, it's therapeutic

just simply to know these various principles which I just

got through stating.



The theory of communication, C dash E - Cause to Effect

across a distance - is, of course, necessarily either a

duplication or a no-duplication; one or the other, or close

to either. So that we get somebody trying to talk to

somebody who's entirely dissimilar and you get no

communication or you get a very janglesome communication.



Here's a thetan, who's essentially nothing, conversing

continually with something. What'll that do to him? I mean,

all he ever pays any attention to is something. There's

something there and he is communicating with it, but he is

a nothing. He'll eventually mock himself up as a something,

naturally, and then he will tell you, "Well, I'm something.

See, I'm an object. I'm a collection of particles. See,

here I sit - that proves it." Well, the mere fact that there

he sits must tell you there's something wrong with it.

That's an unfortunate fact but a true one.



If you wanted to test this out, let's find out if; sitting

there being something, if he is as able as if he were

freely still being nothing. No, no - he isn t anywhere near

as able being something. You have to flip him out of the

body and get him to adjust the vertebrae and the old

pinched nerves and pat the body on the head, and all of a

sudden he's in control of and master of this body. Well,

that's real good, that's fine. We've returned to him his

therapeutic capabilities. But how long is he going to stay

out there if he keeps on obsessively communicating with

the body? See, it's only when it gets obsessive this

communication gets bad.



If he doesn't recognize the theory of communication just as

part of his modus operandi of existence, why, he will

sooner or later slip back into the head - maybe before the

next session, maybe in a couple of months. Naturally. Why?

He's a nothingness communicating with a somethingness, and

sooner or later he's going to get into some small failure

in trying to guide this somethingness around and, of

course, he will concede then that there's something wrong

with his communication line, which is true. So he thinks

he'd better shorten his terminals. You know, let's get in

there close; must be something wrong with the communication

line.



Well, he'll figure-figure-figure all sorts of things to be

wrong with his communication line, such as, "Well, maybe

I'm talking to it in Latin or something, and maybe I don't

quite appreciate that the body is more delicate than I

thought, and maybe, so on, and let's see now, and it may be

that there's some interference coming in. Maybe the TV

stations have a wavelength like I'm using, and maybe it's

actually obeying Bob Hope." You know, there's something

wrong with this communication line. And he'll go off then

doddering around, "Something wrong with the communication

line, something wrong with the communication line,

something wrong with the communication line." Well, he's

sunk because it's the first point of entrance into space,

and his space'll collapse.



What is wrong with the communication line? A nothingness

trying to communicate continually with a somethingness. Of

course, to get a perfect communication the nothingness has

to communicate with a nothingness at least once in a while,

or know what he's doing. See?



So, you'll get two reactions really. A fellow will go

around saying, "There's something wrong with my

communication line, there's something wrong with my

communication line" - even when he's stuck in his head he's

saying this, you know. He isn't perfectly communicating - he

knows that, he knows he is a something, but he just knows

that he's a body. Fact of the matter is though, even more

basically, he knows he's nothing communicating with a

something. And even though he's sitting right in the middle

of the something, that does not mean he is that thing. So

we get this interesting problem of something wrong with the

communication line, there's something wrong with my

communications, there's something wrong with other people's

communications, they shouldn't talk that way, they should

write some other way, the style isn't quite right, the

movie wasn't quite as aesthetic as it ought to be - yap, yap,

yap, yap, yap. All he's saying all this time is "Nothing is

trying to be duplicated by something and it doesn't work."



All right, here we have this fellow now - the second

instance - and he recognizes this principle and he's on the

destroy end of the curve, you see. He recognizes that a

nothingness should exist where that body is. But he doesn't

know why a nothingness should exist - he doesn't know

anything about communication or duplication - he just knows

that the best thing to have where that body is, is

nothingness. So he goes and blows his brains out. And if

the society insists he has too many responsibilities to go

blow his brains out, why, then subterfugenously he lowers

himself under the wheels of a taxi cab or steps on a third

rail or lands himself. .. and some people haven't quite

nerve enough to make the good clean job of it, so they keep

making themselves sick. And that's psychosomatic illness.



That's all there is to psychosomatic illness, it's a covert

effort on the part of the thetan to make nothing where the

body is. But it is an effort which is balked by the society

to such a degree that he knows he can't quite get away with

it. So he still goes on with this faint impulse which is

just make the body sick, don't reduce it to zero.



You know that the society frowns upon killing bodies. The

biggest advertisements - biggest advertisers and so forth on

television, for instance, and radio, movies - are all

dedicated to a commercial to the effect that "If you murder

somebody, the state'll get you." You know, have you ever

noticed that? Detective stories. And do you know that

there's even a law on the statutes of every place you've

ever heard of; to the effect that you mustn't commit

suicide. You must not commit suicide. Do you know that if

you commit suicide and fail you'll be arrested? That's

right, they'll pick you up and hold you in a ward of a

hospital or something of the sort, but you're under arrest,

actually, for having tried to commit suicide. In other

words, the society is making persist something which is

not admired, which is "Keep those bodies alive."



Well, however that may be, just amongst us girls, a thetan

who... a thetan who forgets the prime principles of

communication is in an interesting state. He tries to mock

himself up as something so he can agree with the body and

have some reality on being a body, and when he exteriorizes

you find he has a theta body. Well, this is just goofball

stuff; this theta body. Well, you have to get him out of

the theta body but he knows this isn't quite right because

actually he'd still have to communicate with the theta body

to get out of it, and so he'd better be a something again

and he will at least exteriorize into a mock-up.



Well, you finally shake him apart and get him out there to

where he's being comfortably nothing and then he

communicates with the body a short time and he starts to

get very, very unhappy because he doesn't have any mass and

the body does. So he can't agree with the body, so

therefore his reality - and incidentally, his ability to

perceive - starts going to pieces, if he's still using the

body. See, he doesn't have to have something to perceive,

but if he's still using the body to perceive, why, he has

to stay in agreement with the body. So in an effort to stay

in agreement so that he can perceive (he doesn't need the

body to perceive at all, it's just one of those

concatenations of logic that he got involved in), he's got

to still have something at least. So he has to have

something in order to be a somethingness so that he can

agree with the body, at least to the effect: "The body has

energy, I have energy, therefore I am in some slight

agreement with the body, therefore I can use the body's

eyes to see."



Why doesn't he just take a look? Well, that's because the

rest of the society is all involved in using bodies. And

of course, using bodies themselves, on the plus side of the

ledger, happens to be quite a game.



Well, let's take a look at the individual's impulses in

terms of communication; find out that when he doesn't get

a duplication he doesn't get an agreement, so therefore in

the absence of some semblance of duplication he doesn't

have any reality on his perception. Let's just look at that

as the first principle. What cuts down the reality's

perception? Well, it's the individual's obsession that he

must have an agreement, that he has to look and therefore

has to have a perfect communication. And when he goes into

that one, the next step is, well, any time he falls out of

duplication he doesn't see. He doesn't see worth a nickel.



And now we swing it on around to affinity and we find out

that if he doesn't see, then he doesn't like anything. I

mean, we're just going downhill on a toboggan at an awful

rate of speed. He considers then he doesn't like anything.

Why doesn't he like anything? Well, it's quite simple:

That's because nothing agrees with him. That's a

double-entendre of course. So every time he sees a

something he's liable to take exception to it.



Well, if he has any clear recognition of what he's doing,

if he's in fairly good shape - in other words, if he's still

in a state of knowingness - of course, he gets around all

these things. He recognizes what they are. He doesn't have

to run on a stimulus-response mechanical basis because he

is always senior to any mechanical operation, even the ARC

triangle.



The ARC triangle is actually, for people low on the Tone

Scale, the first step up to salvation. And for a thetan at

40 is the first step to destruction. The ARC triangle lies

below him at 40, but it sure lies way above him as Homo

sapiens.



Well, let's take another look at the problem and let's find

out then that the individual is trying desperately to cause

a persistence. Why is he causing a persistence? Well,

creation, destruction are very far apart on the curve at

first, and the more he believes in his ability to create

and destroy, the less necessity he has to cause any form,

state or idea to persist. If he can create and destroy he

doesn't have to make anything persist at all. He can always

have something else, something new - he can even have a

duplicate of it any time he wants. So there's no reason

to have the primary form or state or condition persist.



So let's take a look at him and find out that a person who

is making something persist must have lost in that

department, in that category, the idea... See, he has never

lost anything more than an idea. That's all a thetan can

lose is an idea. If he's making anything persist, then he

must have lost, in that category, the idea that he could

create or destroy it. You just look at that. He goes to the

center of the curve when the two ends of the curve - create

and destroy - turn up missing. See that? He must believe

it's necessary. He must believe that there's something

about it that is worthwhile, he thinks, simply because he

can't create and destroy it. Well, how does this come

about? Well, it must be senior to him. If he can't create

and destroy something, then that thing is his senior. And

if it's his senior, then if he has any connection with it

at all he'd better make it persist.



Persistence simply comes about through an inability to

create or destroy something. One makes it persist because

he can't create another one, and one doesn't destroy it

either because he feels he doesn't have the power to

destroy it or because he is capable in many ways of doing

it but is prevented by the society or other concerns. Now,

it should follow then that there are many categories which

are quite desirable in their persistence. A consecutive

time track is not undesirable, very far from it.

Consecutive experience of whatever kind is better than no

experience at all. That's another motto the thetan runs on:

'Any experience is better than no experience. Any thing is

better than no thing." Sort of the way he operates.



All right. We find out the number of things which he's

causing the prevention of destruction and the number of

things he's causing to persist are actually basically

rather desirable to him. In other words, if we bailed him

out of everything he'd still say, "Well, there's a lot of

fun involved in this." You see that?



I mean, it doesn't all derive from a mechanical basis, you

see, because he can always make a postulate and change the

whole works. Let's restore to him the freedom to make a

postulate, and he would change a lot of his postulates,

but at the same time there are various factors in the game

which he would like to have rolling. It's only when this

game gets him into exceeding trouble that he wants to knock

off the whole thing. And then he starts insisting upon his

rights of mechanical communication. He's nothing, so it

better be nothing too, and various other things. And so he

starts working down into the mechanical line, and the next

thing you know, you find him stimulus-response. In other

words, what is the basic definition of stimulus-response?

It is obeying mechanical reaction. Stimulus-response,

somebody says, "You're a horse;" the fellow says, "I am now

a horse." He must be obeying obsessive duplication

mechanics in order to do this.



Now, the curve then, create-survive-destroy, is very

important because it's telling us that there's a peak there

which contains most of the wrongnesses of your preclear.

Now, it sounds very funny to somebody in an orderly society

to hear this remark I know, but it isn't really. The thing

that's wrong with people is not that they destroy, and not

that they create; no, those things are not wrong with the

individual. Now, we're just talking about the individual

or wrongness or aberration, see. Creation and destruction,

that isn't what's wrong, it's that S up there, that

"Survival" on the peak of the curve. After a while in spite

of all preventions he says, "I'm going to kill that guy if

it's the last thing I ever do." Why has he got to kill him?

Well, because the guy's surviving. Fellow weren't

surviving, you wouldn't have to kill him. Sounds sort of

open and shut and Q and A I know, but the point is that you

get this fellow going over hot coals, and in front of the

foul breath of detectives. There isn't very much wrong with

being arrested except the people who arrest you. Anyway...

They seldom wash their teeth and so on.



And here we have survival being causative. Well, now this

is the most idiotic thing in the world that anything that

is simply persisting is causative. Well, there are certain

elements there contained in S on the peak of the curve,

certain elements that the thetan - your preclear - is making

survive that he almost knows darn well he detests.



In other words, there are two classes of survival. One is

self-determined survival - he's very happy about this, you

see - it's what he elects to have survive. And there's

this other one, this other category of S (survival) objects

and conditions, that have survived in spite of anything he

did. They kept on surviving and he went into this inversion

on it: "Well, I've got to help them survive." He absolutely

detests their survival, and he's got to help them survive.

See, he tried so hard to knock them out, he couldn't; he

finally realized that these things, no matter how much he

detested them, they were senior survival to him.



Now, we won't try any percentage on this thing, but to give

you an idea more or less of the fact that survival, the

peak of the curve, then, is composed of two types of

elements or conditions, let's look at it as: class one,

persistencies which are not in any category objectionable

to the individual; and persistences which have been

intensely objectionable which he now compulsively considers

desirable. And those are the deadly ones.



And in a case fortunately - now this percentage is not true;

it's just to give you some vague idea of it - in a case,

fortunately, there's about 98 percent of the things can

just go on surviving happily and everything's okay. And I

mean even if you cleared the case all the way on up to the

top, you wouldn't find these 98 percent of the items going

through the DEl cycle. In other words, they don't keep

shifting up to Desire, Enforce, Inhibit, and so on.



But this 2 percent, you'll find them run through the cycle

a couple of times and they blow, and boy, they're hot. And

the first time you strike the key survival point on a case

- compulsive survival, in other words - the first

compulsive survival you strike on the case that's really

hot may bring you a communication lag from the preclear of

anything from fifteen minutes to a couple of hours. See?

There's one there that's hot. And what is it? It's a

complete communication foul-up. Why? Well, the fellow

wouldn't duplicate it and he had to duplicate it, and it

won and he wanted it to lose, and he's jammed in against

it, he's fought it, he's talked about it, he's slammed it

around, he's tried to figure his way through this thing and

he just couldn't get anyplace. And he'll finally hit a

communication dead spot on it. It's just a complete dead

spot, and when you hit that thing you have hit the

stupidity on the case. You just hit one of these compulsive

survival items on a case, just one, and you'll change the

IQ of the case. Because that's true stupidity. He has

smashed into and is compulsively being an energy which he

still considers antipathetic, basically.



This is the thing probably which Freud called the

unconscious mind. He was aware of a bundle of energy of

some sort sitting around that was upsetting, and the

auditor can today put his finger right on that bundle of

energy. 



Compulsive survival. We get it with the individual once in

a while. He's been operated on or shot up or made

unbeautiful, and he decides to drop the mock-up. "We'll

just leave it right there on the operating table. Just like

that. We'll leave it right there on the battlefield and

shove off and go get another body. We'll leave it right

there in the gutter. Skip it. To hell with it. We'll go

find another body." And then the darn thing insisted on

keeping on breathing, keeping on moving, communication

lines still to it. He had to stand by with it; he had to

take care of it. And the next thing you know you've got a

hypochondriac on your hands. Oh, this fellow's so worried

about the body, it's got a little ache or it's got a little

pain and he has to do something about it this way and he

has to... Why? Well, he said, "Don't survive." He said,

"Destroy," and it said, "Survive," and he said, "Destroy,"

and it said, "Survive." And he said, "Destroy, destroy,

destroy," and it said, "Survive." So he says, 'All right,

it can survive. Now, let's see, what do I do to make it

survive? Well, I've got to make it survive, I've got to

make it survive. Gee, you know, I've got to make it survive.



And the next doggone thing you know, here you've got this

guy going around and he cuts his finger and he says, Hhmm,

ooh, I've injured my body. I've cut my finger." He develops

a slight quiver of his left ear and he says, "Oh dear, I

wonder what this horrible symptom is," and so forth. In

back of all this we find what? He tried to destroy it and

it persisted.



You start to audit this case and you'll find him talking to

you, and what we might state colloquially is he's tried to

drop the mock-up. He'll talk to you about dropping the

mock-up. "If I could just get out of here, I'd leave." You

just start auditing him a little while and he gets up Tone

Scale a little bit, and this early ambition comes back.

"Knock it off; knock the body off; get out of here." And

every once in a while, some professional auditor says to

somebody who is quite ill - particularly somebody who is

quite ill - and he says, "Be three feet back of your head,"

and the body dies the next day. Just like that - bing! You

gave the preclear a chance to carry out his own basic

goals. They don't do it very often fortunately, but it

happens every once in a while. Usually it's some incurable

illness or something of the sort. And it's not up to you,

you know, to make that body survive. This person's got

cancer - they'd probably live for another six months and it'd

get worse and worse and worse and they'd smell worse and

worse and worse and it'd cost the family more and more and

more money. And they recognize there's no reason to keep

this mock-up running and you say, "Be three feet back of

your head," and - pop! bang! And they say, "Oh yes, well

thank you so much for a good session. I feel fine." And

then the husband is on the phone the next morning saying,

"You killed my wife." "I didn't do anything to her." "Yes

you did, because she's dead this morning."



What did you have to do with it? You did the rather

knightly deed of saying, "Madam, this broad highway is the

road out." And the husband is illogically insisting on

keeping a body ticking over in agony at vast expense for

many months.



Euthanasia is frowned upon. Mercy killings are not the

thing of today. It works a great hardship on the society,

by the way, because it continues to give them psychiatrists. 

The psychiatrist uses electric shock and the prefrontal 

lobotomy - and this is true, you know - only because he 

is not permitted to totally kill the patient. And he can't 

kill this insane person but he can render this insane person 

as good as dead with an electric shock or with a prefrontal 

lobotomy. So he does. He can't come any closer to it. He is 

actually quite well aware of what he's doing, and actually 

the family around such a person is quite often quite well 

aware of what he's doing, and therefore you don't get a 

society objecting to it too madly. It's murder!



I haven't just now said, by the way - I caution you - I have

not just now this moment said that all psychiatrists are

murderers. I haven't said that they all have a compulsive

impulse to murder all their patients. I want you to note

that carefully, I have not said that. It's true, but I

haven't said it.



Now, where we get a thetan in difficulty, we get a

compulsive survival. And let's use that just as a technical

term - that's a compulsive survival.



So now let's be a very, very good auditor, hm? And let's

understand this principle of a compulsive survival. Whether

it appertains to the body or anything else on the part of

the individual, let's look at it for what it is and let's

solve it.



There is a process which solves it. It's "Where would

(blank) be safe?" Where would the item which is being made

to survive or is compulsively surviving - where is that item

safe? Quite often you'll find this item with a stuck needle

on the E-Meter, because it's a blank spot.



The E-Meter has to be looked over a little bit with a few

more preclears than I have already run on this in order to

give you the most optimum reaction. I find the needle

sticks, and sometimes it sweeps. But I'll have to codify it

a little bit. It's a no action or terrific action on the

E-Meter that you're looking for. There's some little

evidence right now that the E-Meter does its steep dives

only in the presence of a vacuum, and does its sticks only

in the presence of a mass of unwieldy, unthinking energy.

Some evidence to that degree.



But you have a better test than an E-Meter. You say to this

fellow, "All right now, where would shoes be safe?" He

doesn't answer you for a half an hour. He's sitting there,

wide awake, trying to answer you, and he can't even think

of shoes being safe. He just jams right on that point. And

you just sit there and look at him. Ask him once in a while

some little coaxing question to make sure he's still

around. And he'll come out of the other end.



Now, that essentially is the guts of a communication lag.

What's a communication lag? It's one of these things, one

of these compulsive survivals, in the mental anatomy of

your preclear. And he hits it and he comm lags. You say,

"Good morning," and he says, "Hm. Oh, hello." What

happened? You said, "Good morning," he thought something

and it went through one of these compulsive lags. Well,

unless his attention is actually and exactly called to it

the thing never runs out. It just gets worse, it doesn't

get better. Why? It's just being added to. He's less and

less looking at it and more and more dodging it, and so we

have this as an interesting manifestation which leads us

right straight through to the heart, soul and center of

aberration itself.



You understand this: The key test of aberration is

communication lag. You see that? The inability of the

person to get two things connected easily and rationally,

and to disconnect them at will - to connect and disconnect

at will. You could say this is in essence good

communication: to connect and disconnect.



All right, when an individual can't get something

connected, the common statement of the society is that

he's stupid, he doesn't get it. He just is unable to put

his ignition key in the ignition of the car. He just can't

get this direction. You keep telling him, "Well, to start

the car, there's... Why do you keep running your battery

down? You start the car; you put the ignition key in the

switch there and turn the switch. And don't just sit there

and grind the - you'll run your battery down." Fellow gets

into the car the next morning, hits the button - 

grind-grind-grind - hasn't put the key in the switch.



Now, you'd say that fellow was awfully stupid, wouldn't

you? And yet essentially that's merely a communication lag.

He just can't register; he can't get this thing across the

line.



How long is the communication lag? Well, next year

sometime... The longest lag I know of; by the way, that

could actually be easily traced, was ten years. A fellow

was told something and ten years later recognized it. Well,

this fellow, sometime next year, will all of a sudden - it'll

come to him, suddenly and abruptly, that he ought to put

the key in the ignition, turn it and that will start the

car. That's communication lag.



All right, now you stopped talking about something about an

hour ago, and company is still there. That's communication

lag. See? I mean you stop talking about... you've said

everything you had to say and heard everything you wanted

to hear from them about an hour ago, and they're still

talking, they're still sitting there, they're still...

huuuuh. Can't disconnect. You start looking at this, you

get frantic after a while. Huuuh!



I've known more salesmen, for instance, to completely ruin

a sale simply by keeping on selling after the sale was

made. Well, all he's doing is running another type of

communication lag which is an inability to disconnect. Well

now, the society calls this crazy - calls the inability to

connect, stupid and the inability to disconnect, crazy.

What do you combat as an auditor? You're combating

aberration and you're combating stupidity. Now, on the part

of a body you're combating psychosomatic illness - an

illness on the part of the body - the persistence of an

illness. And all we've got here is, in each case, a

persistence of some sort. Here's a condition that goes on

persisting in spite of anything that you or anybody else or

the person himself can do about it. Now, it's up to you to

do something about it.



You're trying to handle a condition which has not been

handled before, regardless of whether or not it is a

twisted foot or a twisted brain or a fellow who could never

learn to read. Regardless of what it is, it's a persisting

condition. And that is the common denominator of

everything anybody complains to you about, is the

persistency of the condition. Even the persistency of the

intermittent condition: "Every five days I get a headache."

You see, it's the repetitive persistency of the condition

which is upsetting. "Every twenty-one years we have a war,'

you know. Condition is repetitive, but that's a persisting

condition. There is, you might say, sine wave persistence

and intermittent persistence, but however it is, that's

what you're in there supposed to do. You're not actually

being asked to create anything new. You're just being asked

to change the persistence curve of something. Either make

it more persistent, such as some fellow wants you to audit

his wife because she doesn't love him anymore. And I

suppose you could. That's really a job for a hypnotist,

though. And you're supposed to, in other words, change a

persisting condition.



All right, what do we have as weapons for this? Well, our

best weapons on it are SOP 8, SOP 8-C, Advanced Group

Procedure, and the class of processes which we are calling

SOP 8-D. Now, this SOP 8-D is simply being worked out as an

ability to discover the persistences - different classes of

persistences. SOP 8-D takes care of - just as itself - takes

care of the persistence of personnel, universes of

personnel, persistence of universes of personnel.



SOP 8-DA takes care of the persistence in terms of

sex - sexual persistence. It's almost a Freudian process.



And SOP 8-DB takes care of the failed goals of the

individual which are yet persisting. Now that's a real neat

one. There's no reason for me to go into Opening Procedure

and Step I and Step II and Step III, because these are just

the "D" class. Now, why are they there? That's so that you,

after you've run a fragment of this process, will remember

to go back and start with Opening Procedure, Step I, Step

II, Step III and back into the thing again or into the next

one. In other words, let's always cross that bridge,

because we want this guy exteriorized. That's why we keep

crossing the bridge.



All right. Now, goals is another E-Meter job if you want it

to be, but it can simply be arrived at by looking at what

the individual is doing in present time or just talking

with him. You can talk with him and discover what his goals

are. You can also discover who was mainly in the front of

those goals. But in DB we're not interested in who was in

front of the goals. We're just interested in the goal.



Now, you see how this little process here differs from a

Universe Process. It works just like Universe Processing is

worked because it's heading right straight toward

compulsive survival. But it's handling the goals of an

individual which come under rather nebulous headings. You

want to know what this individual's basic ambition in

existence is, and that's one of the first questions you'll

ask him: what was his basic ambition; what were his

ambitions in life; what were these ambitions; what was he

trying to do and so forth. And probably his second or third

answer will be the answer you want. I mean it's that fast,

you really don't need even an E-Meter.



You ask this person, "Well, what did you want to be?"



He'll first tell you, "Well, I... nothing," if he's

having an awful bad time, "Well, nothing."



"Well, what are you being successful at now?"



"Ohhh" - see, the guy is just miserable the second you ask

him this question. He isn't being successful at anything now.



"Well, what would you like to be successful at right now?

Well, why do you want me to audit you?"



"Oh, well... if... if you audited me you'd make... might

get me in some kind of shape so I could write music again."



You've got it. That's the answer. That's the answer you want.



What's the next thing that you're liable to run into? If

you've hit the compulsive survival that you want, you'll

get your comm lag right now with this question: "All right,

where would music be safe?"



And if you've hit the compulsive survival right on the

button, your preclear won't be talking for the next

fifteen minutes, half an hour. He'll just sit there kind of

bogged. We're not interested in the long history of this,

he won't give it to you. You just want a place where music

would be safe, that's all.



You'll find out he was a little kid, his mama and three

aunts all taught piano. And they beat him, and they kicked

him around, and they booted him outdoors, and he couldn't

stay around the house, and he couldn't touch those pianos,

and he couldn't have anything to do with music, and his

life was just hell because of music. So eventually music

won. Now music has to survive.



He may or may not have any talent at all for writing music,

but you'll find out that when he got to be eighteen or

nineteen he wrote several pieces for the high school band.

And some latent talent showed up here and there and he

fooled around with music. He just fooled around with it,

that's all, but he'd sure like to make it his life's work.

That's what he would have told you at thirty, and here he

is maybe thirty-five and he's lost his grip; he can't write

music anymore.



It's a totally idiotic picture, you see? Music is doing a

compulsive survival in his life. He is doing his best to

make that career fail. He's doing his best to make that

career survive. And he's interlocked right there - bing,

bing. Compulsive survival. Deadly communication lag.



Now, there's a... there are two denominators to this type

of processing. One is a goal. It must have occupied the

category of a major current life goal - must have occupied

that category. That's one that it has to have. Your current

lifetime must be studded with this goal. And two, it must

be something that he's had some success at. He must have

been slightly successful with it.



Now, you dive into a case on that one, you're liable to

unlock the case. What'll happen? The old laws of engrams

are still in here. This individual got beaten around so

much about something that he eventually got to a point

where it won. In other words, he went into the winning

valence of something. But he didn't go into the winning

valence of a person, he went into the winning valence of a

condition or a goal. See, he went into the winning valence

of a goal, and that's just a different category of a

winning valence.



Now, you ask where that'll be safe and you will get

eventually the most hair-raising material out of that

compulsive survival. Oh golly, it seems like this happened

and that happened and something or other happened all the

way down the line on this. It just is the one thing that

keeps turning him back and kicking him back and pushing him

forward and being argued about. He's doing a defending of

something.



Well, you will eventually trace it back, you will think, to

one person's universe, then maybe two people's universes,

then maybe three people's universes, and you'll be very

surprised but you have suddenly disclosed something which

didn't just spring up in this lifetime. This has been going

on for a long time. If it was music, the fellow was once

upon a time in one lifetime a successful composer, and he

got poisoned. And another lifetime, why, he was a woman and

he was married to a successful composer who ruined him...

her. And there's lots of interweave here. And he just

finally hung up dead center on this thing. He just can't

move any further, any way, he can't think about it and so

forth.



Now, another condition that must answer here: It must be a

communication lag. Must demonstrate itself as a

communication lag, and you must get a fairly rapid change

of perception with regard to it.



Case that gives you any trouble for any length of time, if

you can't run just bing-bing-bing; if you can't run "D"

itself; separate out a couple of universes; you can't run

a little bit of sex off the case and bing, he exteriorizes;

he sure as hell will on this one. Because it's compulsive

survival goal, and he has to have a body to make the goal

good. And he's just going ahead and it's... boy, is this

the world of unreason. He has just ceased to be reasonable

about it at all. He's identitying and cross-connecting and

all mixed up.



Now, those of you listening to this lecture may have the

idea that you have compulsive survivals which are giving

you communication lags and which are impeding you. Of

course, nothing I ever say should ever apply to an

audience's individual case. And having told you about this,

I'm quite well aware that having told you without it being

audited that I am liable to just plow right straight on

into the button. See? And there might be two or three

amongst you who are simply sitting there looking at me now

in a dead blank. So let's just finish it off with a little

group processing.



Give me some places where you are not. 



All right, now give me some conditions you're not suffering 

from. Oh, get one for sure that you know you're not suffering 

from. 



And let's spot some places in the physical universe space where 

your own condition does not exist at this moment. 



All right, now just for variation give me some kinds of hats 

you're not wearing at this moment. 



Some kinds of animals now you're not being at this moment. 



Now, give me some fates you will not experience before the 

day is out. Get one for sure - some horrible end you're not 

going to come to before the day is out. For instance, you're 

not going to be beheaded.



Okay, now some things you could drink without being poisoned. 



Some friendly intercourse you could engage upon without ruining 

your reputation. 



Some things you could say now to another human being that 

wouldn't drive him crazy.



Now, some things you could say that would not lead anybody

to suspect that you're crazy. 



Some things you could wear that wouldn't tip off your actual 

condition. 



And now name some things that are not looking straight into 

you and through you at this moment. 



Now, let's check over your body and see if you have all the 

necessary elements of a body.



Okay, now let's look around you and see if you can find a

nothingness that would be very pleasant to contemplate.



Okay, let's find the two back corners of the room. 



Now, let's find two nothingnesses back there. 



And let's let go and find the floor beneath your feet.



End of session.
