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-2 - 5403C31 

Number 3 of the "Universes and the War between
Theta and Mest" cassettes.

SIMPLE PROCESSES

A lecture given on 31 March 1954


Okay, and this is the thirty-first. March 31st, 1954, an
hour's lecture on simple procedures.

A little more data on Opening Procedure, why does Opening
Procedure work, how long should it be worked, a few remarks
concerning when it wasn't worked.

Opening Procedure was invented, gotten together, used,
tested and released because auditors were having a
difficult time getting preclears to start running. That is
to say they would get eight, nine, ten, maybe more, hours
in the auditing room on the part of some preclear before
that preclear would start doing anything.

What was this period? It was a period of the preclear
trying to get used to the idea of being under the auditor's
direction and instruction. It was hours of the preclear
being very aware of the auditor, being very afraid that the
auditor might say something that the preclear could not
execute and so forth.

In other words, it was a communication pattern in building.
A communication pattern was building up during those first
many hours of auditing, and it was obvious that they were,
therefore, to some degree wasted.

All right. How did we short-circuit that? The best way to
do it would be to get the auditor-preclear relationship on
solid footing as soon as possible, in such a form that the
auditor would be able to know exactly whether or not the
preclear was executing and so that the preclear could
discover whether or not he was going to get into serious
trouble just because he was being audited. So, to get over
that hump, Opening Procedure in its three steps.

Opening Procedure is very simple to run. It is simpler to
run than it is ordinarily run. People make it more
complicated than it is, mostly because they find it
monotonous. But monotony is the keynote of it.

One of the first things it will do is very advanced. It's a
very simple procedure. But you understand it takes in an
awful lot of elements. And one of the simplest things it
will do, if worked for an hour or so, will be to get the
preclear over the hump of boredom because of duplication.
If you ran Opening Procedure in a relatively monotonous
fashion - which is to say he went to the same things, same
type of thing and so on-you would find the preclear getting
up toward a point where he wanted to scream finally. He
just would just be getting so bored.

Well now, if he were sitting still going through that
process, he would balk, he would scream, he would quit.
He's liable, if he's that type of preclear and that's a
lot of the preclears; the ones that you'll have trouble
with, certainly - he would have the impulse to rise straight
out of the auditing chair and quit the session. Why?
Because it's getting too monotonous to him. "All right.
Let's put it in the front wall. Put it in the side wall.
Put it in the other wall. Put it in the ceiling. Put it in
the floor. Let's put it in the front wall. The back wall."
And all of a sudden the preclear has just gotten these
commands over and over and he's done them over and over.
Well, it's too... the first thing he'd do would be to just
start blowing his stack, and he'd say "scream." He'd want
to get out of that chair. The actual fact is that his legs
would be getting so nervous that he could hardly hold them
still.

In many, many cases this type of boredom, you might call
it, takes on a physical aspect. It's painful. He just can't
stand it - nervous tension.

This is fear of duplication, unwillingness to duplicate.
The mechanics of this are very simple. They're simply this:
that the preclear feels that if he keeps doing this, he's
going to arrive someplace, and if he arrives there, it's
going to hurt. And the closer he comes to arriving, the
more it's going to hurt because he's right in the middle of
an engram where, let us say, he smacked the ground after a
thousand-foot fall. And you just keep working him. And he's
working just a little bit further through this engram, and
a little bit further and he's going to get to the point of
impact. And he doesn't want to be there.

Or, let's say he hit the ground and bounced. Well, having
bounced, of course, you're moving him back to the impact
point, and he just isn't going to go back to that impact
point. It's a problem of can't, must not arrive, you see that?

Now, you see how that would interfere with communication?
If you can't be certain things or be in a certain
condition, you can't, of course, communicate with those
conditions. And if this is the case, why, the individual
can't arrive. He doesn't dare be anyplace. And so you get
this preclear, he's sort of floating halfway out of engrams
and three quarters of the way out of present time and here
and there. But he has no place to flinch to; he doesn't
dare flinch because he's in the act of flinching. These
arrival points are all painful as far as he's concerned,
and you've just given him a hard shove and said, "Boy,
you're on the road to Clear." And that too is an arrival
point. Or you re on the road to a duplication of an old
incident. No, no.

Well, if your preclear was sitting still and running this,
unable to discharge some of the energy by physical action,
he would be in a very bad condition. He'd actually jump
out of the auditing chair. The second you began to be
monotonous on auditing, he would leave the auditing room.

Why monotonous? That's just duplication. You get what
duplication is. Duplication is essentially "it mustn't
happen again." "Mustn't happen again" - that's the keynote of
it. That's the phrase, the thought that goes along with it.
"Mustn't happen again or mustn't happen twice" or "there
must be no duplicate of it." It's all this same sort of
thing. So we've got this fellow sitting way back in the
past someplace going, "Rrrrr. No. Suum-um... " See? Maybe
he's in a dentist's office, you know; dentist about to pull
his teeth or something like that, you know. And he's
saying, "Mustn't happen!" Well, the funny part of it is if
he really protested against the dentist pulling his teeth
on a stimulus-response basis, he would actually be running
in the middle of an experience whereby he's having his
teeth pulled. The fact that he's going to have his teeth
pulled, by duplication on a stimulus-response basis, pulls
up a facsimile. He has machinery which presents a facsimile
of teeth being pulled. This is painful. Before the third,
fifth, sixth dentist on the line even picks up any forceps
this fellow is in pain. Why is he in pain? The effort to
pull his teeth is getting his teeth pulled in the past.

Well, why does this go into restimulation? A very simple
thing. He is fighting in the past. See, he's got his
energy, pressures, everything is all set up there to resist
the conclusion of an event. Well, all right. Let's say he
resisted the conclusion of event; you come along and you
tell him he's going to conclude an event. Just by auditing
him, he will all of a sudden sense that he's about to
conclude some event which he mustn't conclude. In other
words, it mustn't happen again.

What's experience? Experience is that activity, or
condition or whatever you want to call it, whereby an
individual knows in present time what is painful by reason
of occurrences in the past. If an individual has had
painful occurrences in the past, then in present time he
knows he mustn't engage in those again. He mustn't touch
the stove because the stove hurts. Now when he sees a stove
he gets a picture of the stove hurting him. This is
stimulus-response by facsimile. So he mustn't duplicate, he
mustn't duplicate touching the stove. So he stays well away
from the stove. Stimulus-response.

This isn't thinkingness. Actually, a thetan in good command
of himself and situation, environment, knowing where he
was, and so forth, would know very well, if he were trying
to keep a piece of energy from being spoiled, that it
shouldn't hit corrosive things. He wouldn't have to have a
bunch of facsimiles to bar him from touching stoves.

But the thetan who is going along and is united with a body
which is fully equipped on stimulus-response mechanisms
gets up to a point where everything is automatic. The
second he sees a stove there's a tiny tingle in his
fingers; it tells him "Stay five feet from the stove," see,
because if he gets any closer he's liable to touch it. So
he's being restrained mechanically by forces and identities
he knows not what of.

He gets very confused after a while. He thinks he's under
direction from all directions. And he's being told by
unseen forces and unseen things that this, that and the
other thing are liable to happen to him. He has some
feeling like the environment is very dangerous but he
doesn't know why. Well, there may be a stove in the
environment and that's telling him, "don't touch," see,
"don't arrive," "don't touch," "don't connect." And he
doesn't know then. He thinks he's anxious about his wife or
he thinks he's anxious about cats or kings or coal heavers
or anything but the stove. Because the stove is "don't
touch," and "don't touch" is also "mustn't look at." So he
never sees the re-stimulator in the environment. He just
never sees it. It just goes automatically and he stays
away from the stove. Quite automatically staying away from
the stove but never recognizing why he is staying away from
the stove, but at the same time being told forcibly by a
facsimile that if he touches the stove he'll be hurt,
because the thought to touch the stove causes him to have a
burning sensation in his finger.

You see this? As a stimulus-response mechanism, there's
just nothing to this but the environment ordering the
fellow around without the fellow's consent. What do we
mean by stimulus-response? Just that: the environment
ordering a person around without the permission or consent
of the thetan. That is stimulus-response.

All right. Let's look at that in terms of "don't arrive."
Mustn't touch the stove. You notice you have to contact
things before they hurt you. So therefore nearly all the
mechanism in the bank on the basis of duplication and so
forth is painful. Mustn't touch the stove again, mustn't
duplicate the action of touching the stove again. Well, if
you look at a communication graph you'll find out that
something has to contact a receipt-point before you've got
a full communication. So again this is point of "can't arrive."

So all of this stuff, dizzy as it may seem, and so on, all
ties together on the fact that one mustn't duplicate. Under
no circumstances must one duplicate. Don't duplicate any
of these past actions because they're all painful,
therefore all of life is painful, therefore there isn't
anything but pain anyplace. One mustn't duplicate any pain
so, really, one mustn't live. And when he gets enough
experience, why, the thing he really learns is that he
mustn't live. That is the end product, the reductio ad
absurdum of experience, stimulus-response teaching - that
one mustn't live.

Now, because these facsimiles are actually a bunch of
unseen orders, contacts and other things... They're unseen,
you see. They're not differentiated; they're not
recognized. He doesn't identify them. He doesn't spot them.
He doesn't go over this chain of experience analytically to
discover what has happened in the past; he simply reacts.
He must be getting an order, then. And where's the order
come from? Well, Lord knows. He just kind of knows he
mustn't touch the stove. Well, it's the basis of an order.
Well, you get a preclear that's doing very badly and the
first thing he'll know is that he mustn't receive an order.
He knows this.

Now, just below that, a preclear who's in terrible
condition - he's receiving orders, but you might as well be
auditing a footstool. Because all of the commands you hand
out will be simply obeyed by the footstool just as though
you'd pushed the footstool. Now, it didn't do this
footstool any good to push it. So in such a case it doesn't
do the preclear much good to be audited unless you've
broken through this mass.

What is this last preclear? Well, he's actually in a
hypnotized condition. He is totally under the orders of the
environment. Or he's totally under the orders of every
person in the environment, selectively. You can tell this
preclear - there isn't one in this Unit - you can tell this
preclear very easily; he has an eye flutter -
a-rdrdrdrdrdrdrr. Or he has a glazed set of eyes;
the iris is expanded all the way out. He's very easy to
tell. He's hypnotized. He's in a permanently hypnotized
state. His reactions aren't necessarily insane reactions at
all; he's just running on the environment, something says
this way and he goes that way.

You start auditing one of these preclears after he's
listened to a tape. You know he's listened to one of my
lecture tapes, something like this. And it says "This and
that is wrong with a preclear," and by golly, that's what
you'll find wrong with him. And you could make a lecture
tape - stated with great deliberateness and very, very
convincingly, you could make a lecture tape that would
say, "Well now, the actual cause back of most aberration in
most preclears is the fact that they're wearing their shoes
on the right and left foot respectively. Whereas, as a
matter of fact, this was never intended. They should have
interchangeable shoes which could be worn either on their
right or left foot. And it's a matter of shoes here.
Actually you see shoes; it normally is shoes. Freud speaks
of foot fetishes, and we see then that shoes are the
underpinning of the body, so this symbolically could, of
course, be the underpinning of the case."

We can go on like this and we'd say the technique to do
this is so-and-so and so-and-so. And at the end of that
time, after this is done, the individual develops a
considerable euphoria, and he's very happy. You'd get this
case, you would audit him, he'd insist on auditing shoes,
you'd audit out shoes and his conflicts with shoes. And
when you finished this, if it were done right according to
rote, why, he would feel some euphoria. Yet you wouldn't
have done anything to the preclear at all. In went the
tape, you pulled it out. I mean, there we have...

Now, in any large number of people - people in off the
street, if you had fifty people, and the average people in
this society, just grabbed them at random - why, you're
liable to find anywhere from one to five people present who
are doing just that.

Now, these people have another thing which fools an
auditor. And you certainly better be alert to this, because
this can cause an auditor more trouble and he can be more
upset about this. The case isn't improving, and yet it's
such a nice case. They're such a nice person; they're so
agreeable. The preclear merely sits there and agrees with
everything the auditor said. The preclear agrees and
agrees and agrees and agrees and agrees and agrees and agrees.

You say, "All right. Now, what did you do?" And he says-he
knows what he was supposed to do, you see - so he simply
agrees that he did that. "Yes." "Now, you feel better, now
don't you?" "Yes, yes."

Actually this darn preclear isn't even running the auditing
commands; they're just sitting there agreeing. They're
actually totally under your control. If you were to
suddenly say to them, "A lion is now wrapping his fangs
around your head," the preclear would probably turn pale.

Now, the other night in that group lecture at the hotel,
here, told people to get the worst hallucinations they
could get. You know, there were about three people present,
just because I'd said that they could get a hallucination,
got one, and then of course couldn't handle it. And so I
told them to get it again, and get it again, and do the
same thing over two or three times, and then it eased down.
But one of them was left in a considerable unease until the
last... the additional material of "Where you are not."
And that was the first thing the preclear chose, of course,
"Where you are not" - had to find some places where they were
not. Well, they were not in that hallucination, and that
eased it off; But this was a shocker to them. Why? Somebody
said to them, "There's a big lion about to wrap his teeth
around your neck." If you said that to this preclear who
was agreeing, agreeing, agreeing, they'd have a lion.

Now, if you said in addition to that, "You see, it's a
symptom of the case that a person in your condition sooner
or later finds snakes crawling out of their pockets. Now,
let's see if you can find any snakes crawling out of your
pocket at this moment." This preclear would find snakes
crawling out of his pocket, that's all. That's one of the
reasons why you don't talk any more to a preclear than you
have to talk to one. Because you're liable to get a level
of case that's on a agree, agree, agree, agree, yes, yes,
yes. They're not doing anything; they're just agreeing.
You're running them just like you'd run a marionette. And
you start handing them any additional data over and above
exactly what you have to say to them in terms of auditing
and this preclear is just shot. Why? Because they pick them
all up as aberrations. They're in an hypnotic trance. 

Now, let me give you a manifestation of an hypnotic trance
so you get this even more solidly. You can take somebody,
say, "Look in deeply into my eyes. Now concentrate on my
eyes," and so forth, "and when I count from one to five
your eyes will close," and so on. You keep this up. "Extend
your hands in front of you. Now you find them extended in
front of you. You find it impossible to move your hands
down." He will. He's hypnotized.

All right. Now if you were to say to that person 'A
kangaroo..." You give them some other things to get them
in deeper; get them agreeing with you, you see. And you
say, You will now find a kangaroo one inch high sitting on
your right knee." He would actually see a kangaroo, and
believe it was there, and be utterly convinced it was
there. See? He'd have that kangaroo. You said he had the
kangaroo; he's got the kangaroo.

Now compare this person... Oh, you wake him up afterwards,
you say, "When I count from three back to one and snap my
fingers, three, two, one, snap, you will wake. All right."
And so on. But he would; he'd wake up, and he'd be out of
your control at that moment. But if you've got too many
preclears that walk in to see you, an auditor, who are
themselves in a sort of a somnambulistic state, they are
pretty bad off.

Now, they're going to puzzle an auditor because they're
very agreeable. They are apparently very nice people. They
don't do anything wrong. They do everything right, and they
don't get well.

Well, recognize what you're doing with this case. You're
saying, "Now, did that help you any?" Well, they don't want
to make you feel bad, so they say, "Yes, yes, that helped.
Yes." They agree. Well, how the devil would you ever check
up on this case or on the case that just covertly says
"Yes" and does something else entirely, and how would you
check up on a case which was running on a lot of machinery
(which is to say his machinery is obeying the auditing
orders) unless you visibly could look at their body walking
here and there and doing this and that. You'd sure know
whether or not they were doing anything.

Well, supposing this person who was agreeing with you all
the time - this is another symptom of the case - supposing 
this person that was agreeing with you all the time was asked
to and did put, let us say, apathy into the front wall and
into the back wall and into the ceiling and into the floor
and into the side walls and the front wall and the back
wall and the ceiling and the floor and the side wall and
the front wall and the back wall... All of a sudden just
about that time, and just about that fast they suddenly go
nyarrroooo! Everything is getting very tense.

One of the reasons this is happening is the person isn t
creating his own energy. He's simply using residual energy
in the body, and you're exhausting the energy level of the
body down. That's one symptom. But that is just a symptom
of something else.

You're asking them to go through the same motions several
times, which is to say, duplication. You are actually
making them make it happen again. And of all the things
they know they know this: It must never happen again. They
know they mustn't arrive. It must never happen again. They
must never touch anything significant in their case. All of
these things go together. These things they know. They may
not know if the sun is shining, they may not know if the
floor is under their feet, but by golly they know it must
never happen again. They're not even sometimes sure what,
but just "it" mustn't.

And you ask them to make anything happen twice. You say,
"Put some apathy in the ceiling. Put some apathy in the
ceiling. Put some apathy in the ceiling. Put some apathy in
the ceiling" - all of a sudden they're going to go
zinng-grrrrrr! And they're liable to jump out of the
auditing chair. Or they're liable to collapse into a sort
of an apathy and quit on you.

Various manifestations are liable to set up which will
immediately stop the progress of the auditing. You might
not detect that this progress of the auditing had stopped,
to tell you the truth. They might feel that they are in a
sufficiently unfriendly environment so they'd better
suppress any protest which they make, and they simply after
that just sort of get by one way or the other. You aren't
auditing anybody. You're giving them commands, they're
receiving them, they're either doing something else or
they're not doing anything, they're just being agreeable.

All right. How do we cross this little bridge? Well, you
start running Opening Procedure. You have the person
walking around, at least you have him in motion. And when
he strikes this terrific level of boredom, when he strikes
this terrific tension, if he's going to strike it - after
you've asked him to do several things, like, "Let's go over
and find a spot on that corner of the room there. Let's put
your finger on that. Okay. Now let go of that and find a
spot on the center of the table and put your finger on
that. Okay. Now let go of that. Now find a spot over on
that corner of the room, and go over and put your finger on
that. Now let go of that. Now find a spot on the table, and
go over and put your finger on that."

Now, if you just kept that up for a little while, you'd see
this boredom manifestation start to cut through on the
individual. But fortunately he's in motion. He doesn't quit
on you. He is in motion. You've got him going, you can
inspect him, you can watch him. I have had a preclear throw
a tantrum on this - you know, get down in the middle of the
floor and scream - but after a while got him up and got him
going through it again, and broke through, you might say,
the boredom barrier. You know, there's a sound barrier and
other barriers. There's probably this boredom barrier.

Well, you'll break a preclear through that. You might as
well make up your mind to break a preclear through that
sooner or later because you're going to have to. It had
better occur while you're doing something like Opening
Procedure than while you're doing some thoughtful process,
because actually they'll just clam up and kind of grit
their teeth and clench their eyelids and that'll be that.
Auditing will go no further.

Well, you can get too complicated with Opening Procedure in
that you can give him something that's very difficult to
do. And you can make the mistake in Opening Procedure of
letting the preclear do several things, and then have him... 
Here's one of the... about the only real mistake can be
made and it runs like this:

"All right. Now, think of a new place to go. Now change
your mind about that and think of a new place to go. Okay.
Now change your mind about that and think of a new place to
go." This is all the time he's waiting to go some place,
see. "Now change your mind about that and think of a new
place to go. All right. Now go there." This new place to
go... he was running out of places in the room and he was
trying to get different, and this new place to go was down,
straight down through the floor. He can't do that; you'll
give him a failure. So just recall that that sort of thing
can happen, whereby you're running off without getting any
response to the preclear. So you want to substitute in a
"Where was that?" "Now think of a place to go. All right.
Now where was that? All right. Think of a new place to go.
Okay. Where was that?"

In other words, keep him communicating. Don't let him just
run through a lot of things in his mind. Otherwise he's
liable to get into one of these impossible situations.

This can be quite upsetting to him, by the way. He's just
thought of going down through the floor. He knows
you're... you've already told him to change his mind five
times, so he knows you're going to change his... have him
change his mind several more times, so he might as well
think of something silly like straight up through the roof
with his body. So he thinks of it, and then you say go
there and that failed. Has more effect than you would 
look for.

Now let's take directional machines and let's find out that
direction and evaluation are much the same thing. That is
to say, directing a person from one place to another place
in this universe is much the same as any kind of
evaluation, or is evaluation.

All right. By moving the preclear from one point to another
you are changing his position in space. You are to some
degree breaking his rapport and agreements with other
people who have directed him around. Now, let's take
somebody that's been in the army. He's been in the army for
a long time and he got a lot of drilling, and this maybe
looks to him like close-order drill. Now, you as an auditor
start moving him to this corner of the room and that corner
of the room and so forth - looks to him like drilling. Do you
know that when people tell him to go someplace it's still
some kind of a mock-up of his first sergeant or captain or
somebody. You know, it's still passing through that lineup.
Well, it gives him a chance to break free. He can see
clearly that it is the auditor sending him around.
Something else can send him around.

But there's a big difference between Opening Procedure and
close-order drill in the army. In Opening Procedure he is
told where he is going to go before he goes. In the army
he's simply told to go. Never told where to go. You'll find
there's a tremendous scarcity on this case of where to go.
He's actually running a scarcity on it. You start to run
Opening Procedure on ex-military men and you'll get
interesting manifestations, such as tiredness. You'll get
boredom, anger, upset and a tremendous certainty that it's
doing absolutely no good. This they're certain of beyond
anything else.

But you know what they're really certain of? They're not
certain that your auditing is doing no good; they're just
certain army close-order drill is no good. And you brought
that certainty up to the front. Well, they'll run on out
through that, giving them an opportunity, then, to do
something that they have never done before, which is
actually, with the second step, choosing a place to go and
going there.

So it breaks down the machine which was installed by
close-order drill in the army. This person is running on
some kind of a directional machine. You know, it tells him
to go here and tells him to go there. When somebody tells
him to go there, it goes into the machine and the body
starts in that direction. His body has been handled
exteriorly far too much. So there's a portion of the body
that sends this body, and he hasn't too much control over
it. By running Opening Procedure you break the machine down
and put him back in control of his body. Now, that's very
profitable, isn't it.

Let's take some other things that this does. Let's take the
spiritualist. Now, it wouldn't seem to you that you'd get
very many people who had been interested in spiritualism.
Well, don't kid yourself. There are lots of them.
Mysticism, spiritualism, has been rampant in the Western
world since 1735 - actually 1655 - started to come in pretty
strongly from the East. But this is a highly specialized
kind of spiritualism and highly specialized kind of
mysticism that came in from India, and it's been in the
Western world for a long time. But there was all kinds of
spiritualism before that.

Do you know that Grimm's Fairy Tales are actually the
legends of the water and tree spirits and river spirits and
lake spirits of the German people? That's Grimm's Fairy
Tales. They've just been Hobson-Jobsoned around until they
are told to little children or something like that.
Actually they're legends of spirits.

Now, spirits have been every place in every time. Man has
never quite gone away from this one. Well, we pick up
somebody. Let's say he's a Marine. Let's say he's a Marine
captain or something, and we're auditing him. He's been a
Marine years ago. Obviously, this person is no mystic. This
person is no spiritualist. He knows nothing about these
things. Let's audit him, and get through, and so forth. And
we audit him for about five hours, and he's making very
slow progress. And he's liable to ask you at the end of the
five hours if you really think his guardian angel approves
of the techniques you're using. Don't be too alarmed if you
hear such a reaction, because there's practically 100
percent of the populace, one time or another, have been
mixed up with spirits, spiritualism, mysticism or any one
of the allied lines by which man has sought truth and has
gotten booby-trapped.

This Marine, you find out, served a long hitch in Santo
Domingo. And all the time he was in Santo Domingo he was
talked to continually by a mamaloi. Otherwise, this boy's
been sane ever since. He receives all of his directions
from a witch doctor, or a witch. Yeah, he's been ordering
troops around on the advice of a witch doctor for years.
This is not uncommon. Because a thing is not spoken about
is no reason it doesn't exist or isn't known. And that's a
good rule for you to go on.

You see, although people don't talk much about various
types of sexual activities one is prone to think these
things might not exist. You see? Supposing nobody talked
about sex at all but we still had generations coming along,
why, certainly there must be something being done on the
subject of sex. Right? Well, okay. And yet people wouldn't
be talking about it.

Well, let's take up spiritualism, mysticism, all these
various odds and ends - magic. Just because people don't
discuss these things is no reason why they don't have a lot
about them. They do. They do have a tremendous amount.

And this teaches all kinds of interesting things, but one
of the main things that it does is to inquire from
nothingness for direction. And that is, you might say, a
common denominator for all spiritualism and guardian
angels and priests and all of this sort of thing. It's
inquire of nothingness for direction - in other nothingness
than self.

Well, you know it'll make a man real happy if you're
standing there solidly in the flesh - even though you're
exteriorized Lord knows how far away - giving him orders
because he can see the source of the order. And long since
this fellow has submerged from any rationality because he
just gave up trying to find the source of the order.
Stimulus-response mechanisms all contain hidden orders.
Well, the people go around and they get bug-eyed because
they are being told that they're receiving orders from
nothingness, whether it's spiritualism, magic, mysticism,
any one of these off brands of "How do we get to the hidden
influence?" This could be the motto of all such practices.
It's "Tallyho, tallyho, hidden influence here we come."
Somewhere there's a hidden influence is a basic
denominator of these things.

All right. "Out here we've got a God. And he gives
directions to you personally, John Doe, and he's going to
tell you everything to do, and how to brush your teeth, and
so forth. And he looks after you all the time, and he
writes it all down in a book. But he doesn't exist because
he is everyplace at the..." You know? In other words,
let's just spin quietly where we are.

This restimulates - you get this - this restimulates the
hidden-influence characteristic of stimulus-response
direction. Every time you ask somebody to take orders from
an indefinite nothingness, you are restimulating their
stimulus-response mechanisms. So you spin them. You
couldn't figure a neater mechanism, you see, because the
keynote of the engram bank is that it gives hidden orders.
It tells you to stay off the stove, so on. But where did
the order come from? Lord knows, see?

We talk about the racial instincts, and we talk about this
and so on. But where did the order come from? Well, Lord
knows. We don't know where the order came from. It just...
He just suddenly got the idea he'd better not touch the stove.

Actually, where did the order come from? He's got a
mechanism which presents him with a facsimile of getting
burned, which holds the body off from getting burned a
second time. Well, where did the order come from?

Now somebody comes along and sells a bunch of pie in the
sky. He says, "The orders are up there in the nothingness,
or they're standing on your... just back of your right
shoulder. Which is to say your guardian angel or your
favorite spirit or your master or somebody is going
'Hocus-pocus' just back of your right shoulder," and that
is an indefinite nothingness. And of course it restimulates
all of the indefinite nothingnesses of the entire engram bank.

The nothingness impulse is the stimulus-response impulse -
the nothingness, the hidden influence. Men are frightened
of this thing called the hidden influence. Anytime they can
get orders from hidden sources, they can be scared. Most of
the people who are occluded are simply holding on to that
blackness because it is so mysterious. It's mystery.
Something can come out of that blackness and tell them what
to do. And so they bird-dog it; they sit right there and
they look at that blackness. And there it is, and it gives
them orders. Thoughts come out of it. Terrible stuff So
therefore they hold on to it. They're afraid of it. The
great mystery.

Now, this mystery is, basically, the hidden influence. So
we get the individual who is haunted by other spirits. He
thinks he has fifteen thetans beside himself all giving
him orders. We have the individuals who go around and pray
to their guardian angels to give them orders and
directions. And each time it's orders and directions from a
hidden and undetermined source. And that is the common
denominator of stimulus-response thinking - orders from a
hidden and undetermined source. So if you want to throw a
guy totally into restimulation, you give him orders from a
hidden and undetermined source.

How do you throw Fac One, the whole evolutionary track,
birth, prenatals, all the accidents he's ever been in, all
the operations he's ever been in, how do you throw all of
these things into restimulation almost simultaneously? You
tell him he's taking orders from God. Where's God? He's a
nothingness which is giving him orders. He can't be
determined as to where he is. The fellow will then start
looking around for hidden orders, you see? The second he
starts looking around for hidden orders, of course he runs
into the entire engram bank, crash.

You can draw a curve of mental health on people up to, and
after the time when, they encountered some sort of a
hidden-influence activity, and you will find that their
mental health might have been quite high, and at the moment
they struck the hidden influence they hit a downward curve
which was quite steep and which has been on the way south
ever since.

Now, they might in the interim have suddenly given up
religion, given up spirits, given up God, given up all
these things, just skipped the whole thing. They're being
hardheaded and practical. They're being scientific. They're
being almost anything you can think of. And they're still
hitting the downgrade. Science is just a dramatization of
what hidden message does the physical universe have next.
You see that? It's just what hidden message is it going to
give us next.

Now, people get that, for instance, mixed up a little bit
with me. They say, "For Christ's sakes, what hidden
messages has he got next?" you see? Well, just to
counteract this, in Issue 28-G of the Journal of
Scientology, we are reprinting totally the 1947 thesis on
this science. It was later brought out and handed around
very slightly. It got around very little in published form.
Its original name however was Scientology: A New Science.
And we have this, then, clear from 1947. Now, that's been a
long time stable. We're publishing that in Issue 28-G. 

Publishing it really just for this reason: There's only
been one single change that is not in that issue, not in
that original thesis - just one thing. And that's an auditor
is trying to delete the reactive mind from the individual.
Now we have discovered the unit of beingness is the
analytical mind, is the person, and we are not trying to
delete the reactive mind from him now; we're trying to
delete him from the reactive mind.

Now, that's certainly a slight change of vector. But you'll
find practically everything we're talking about today, not
just in Book One 19... what would be called Book One 1950,
which isn't the first book. It's 1947. You practically find
everything we're talking about today in that 1947 edition.

That, by the way, was by carbon copies, mimeographs,
hectographs, and so forth, probably circulated by... has
probably by this time circulated more copies than the 1950
Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health. You'll
still find it around under Scientology: A New Science here
and there-tattered, moth eaten, torn to pieces. You don't
run into these people ordinarily, merely because there's
two billion people here on the face of the Earth - a lot of
people.

People used to copy this thing and give it to some friends,
something. It's quite short. It's only about thirty-four
thousand words. And it's got everything in it. It's a very
simple rendition on the subject. That's the only
difference is the vector.

But that states very clearly, very clearly, it says a
person is subjected continually to hidden orders and
commands which he cannot identify, the source of which he
cannot accurately establish. And this hidden source of
command we will call the reactive mind. And there are
energy pictures in this mind which hiddenly influence the
individual by giving him unseen, misunderstood orders. And
he's under continual bombardment with this. Well, that's
what that book talks about. That's Scientology: A New
Science, 1947 - Issue 28-G.

Now, by golly, we're certainly not very far afield from
that, are we? We're a pretty solid thing. Well, what have
we done? By examining the anatomy of this very carefully
and by a discovery that the individual can be deleted from
the reactive mind, instead of the reactive mind deleted
from him, discovering that the identity of the individual
is a unit of beingness which can be independent of the
body, we have found a considerable number of processes
which work faster and faster and better and better.
Actually, the simpler the process, the faster and easier
it works.

Opening Procedure is certainly no exception of this. It
gives him a known, establishable source of command, which
of course gives you the first breakdown of any undesirable
condition. Let's give the guy a visible source of command.
That's the auditor.

And immediately after we give him the auditor as a visible
source of command, we give him himself "Find a place to go
to, now. Now go there." He's choosing places to go to, and
now he's even choosing when to go. And you see why Opening
Procedure saws through?

Once again, once again, I could make it very, very
complicated. We could go into this, we could travel all the
way down the line. But there isn't any reason to be
complicated in any of this material. And once again I had
better emphasize the fact that although it is simple, it
works. Only simplicities really work. If a complexity
works, it's because a simplicity is working rather well,
hidden inside of it. If a complexity works at all, a
simplicity is at work inside of it, making it possible for
the complexity to work.

Now, there was a case in Unit 4 which went all the way to
the end of the Unit still fighting back at auditors. And
one day, after the Unit ended - this case will be back, will
be squared around, because this case hasn't been completed
one day after the end of the Unit an earlier Unit auditor
grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and put him through
Opening Procedure, and in a relatively short space of time
had run him through two periods of deep apathy and some
other manifestations and had run out the compulsive
outward outflow of communication which the preclear had
managed to fend off all auditing with. This tells you
simply that the other Unit 4 auditors who audited this
preclear didn't run Opening Procedure on him. One day after
the course a fellow does. Now the fellow has got to come
back here.

But this was the break of this case. How much auditing had
that case had on all kinds of this-a's and that-a's from
all kinds of people? I hate to tell you, but it must have
been in the vicinity of two hundred hours. Right here in
the Unit.

Now, because he was rather antagonistic and didn't take
kindly to auditing, he didn't really have very many
auditors working on him. Just some hours were rolled up in
that fashion. Most of his hours that were rolled up were in
group processing. What was he doing in group processing? He
was sitting there figure-figure-figure-figure~figure "How
can I possibly evade this one?" That's all he was doing.
And somebody comes along with this simple process a day
after the Unit is over, and here we go. The case breaks.
Well, that's real interesting, isn't it.

You're saying, "What the hell was the matter with the
auditors that were auditing him before that time?" Well,
they were two other auditors who didn't complete the
course, and they didn't complete the course because they
didn't run Opening Procedure on that preclear. They
obviously, then, don't know how to audit. But again, that's
all being taken care of; one or the other. Unit 4 was a big
unit. We had to let three, four, five of those cases skid a
bit. They'll be back. But the breaking of the case was on
simple procedures which weren't run on the case. Savvy?

So in Unit 5 here let's pick this up right at the
beginning, so that we don't have somebody coming back here
after the Unit is all over, and having us suddenly discover
that Doake's case is in terrible condition, and we just
can't seem to get an entrance into this case, and then
suddenly discover that nobody has run Opening Procedure on
this case. Well, they ran it. They ran it for a couple of
minutes and said, "Oh, that's how it goes," and skipped it
from there on.

How long could you run Opening Procedure? Well, by golly,
on a case that isn't accessible, I would simply run it
until the case was accessible. Ooooo, that's a long time.
Well, it's a lot shorter time than the eight or nine hours
you would run of various kinds of commands which weren't
being executed, which weren't getting through, because this
preclear is sitting there listening all the time... Now,
let's get this real straight. He's sitting there listening
to a bunch of hidden orders, source hidden, from the engram
bank. And the auditor says to him, "Now get three places
where you're not." And the engram bank says to him, "Oh ye,
oh ye who sitteth there? Getteth thee three places where
you are drinking." That's what's going on in his head, only
he doesn't even articulate it that much.

He simply spots around - "Let's see, three places where
you're not. Okay. Now, let's see, I'm not drinking. I'm not
drinking at the local soda fountain, and I'm not drinking
in that airplane that went overhead, and I'm not drinking.
I don't drink. I don't drink. Drinking, drinking, oh ye who
cup runneth over. Oh, be something, the auditor says? Oh,
the auditor said be something. Okay. Be, bee, bzz-bzz-bzz."
Reactive mind in operation. It's taking precedent over the
auditor's commands.

So what's the make and the break of the case? It's when the
auditor's commands carry more weight than the engram bank's
commands. And then, finally, where the preclear's commands
carry more weight than the auditor's commands or the engram
bank commands. The gradient scale of case rise. It's a
question of command value. If an individual is afraid of
being ordered around, if he's afraid of being an effect,
you certainly better bust through the easiest way first,
and you've got it.

Now, just because some auditor of the 4th Unit - two auditors
to be exact - decided that they knew a lot about it and they
knew what to run on this case (they were going to run a
yengram or a spengram or a "spingram" or something on the
case by logarithmic tetrahedral or something), this guy
drifts through two hundred hours of group processing going
"Bzz-bzz-bzz, bee, be, no, no. Let's see I'm not drinking
in that airplane. Drinking. Drinking is the root of all evil."

This guy isn't even crazy, you understand; he's not mad.
He's just mis-routed on his communication lines. When he
starts to concentrate on obeying some order, what happens
to him? He obeys some other order. This is all that's wrong
with him.

Do you suppose there would be anything wrong with you if
you said to your body, "All right, now be awake. Now be
asleep," and your body, bing, was awake, and your body,
bing, was asleep? Do you suppose there'd be very much wrong
with you if you could do that? By golly, there sure
wouldn't be. Well, this would be a case of your body
obeying your orders. So therefore you'd have to have
confidence that your orders are going to be obeyed, and
you'd have to know who was issuing the orders. You'd have
to know who you were, wouldn't you, in order to know who
was issuing the orders. Well, you can start out by that by
knowing who's issuing the orders; it's the auditor. See?
That identifies and localizes that.

How is Opening Procedure run? It is run in such a fashion
as to promote confidence on the part of the preclear in the
auditor. It is run by the auditor in such a fashion as to
never offer a second command before the first has been
executed. Its purpose is to establish as adequate a
communication line as possible and to get through to the
preclear and to be able to observe adequately, visibly,
whether or not the preclear is concurring immediately with
the auditing commands given, exactly as given, as precisely
as possible.

Now, perhaps in spite of all I've said to you, you're going
to say "That's a light, nothing-much,
throw-it-over-the-side, skip-it sort of a procedure. It's
much, much better to run basic-basic on reach and
withdraw." No, it's not. It's much better to say to your
preclear, "All right, let's reach," and have the preclear
reach and know he is having himself reach, and when you say
to the preclear, "All right, withdraw," and the preclear
withdraws and knows he's having himself withdraw, than to
say to the preclear, "Reach," and the preclear withdraws,
to say to the preclear "Withdraw" and the preclear says,
"Let's see. I guess I better double-terminal my father
now." How can auditing work unless commands are executed.
But in the far essence of the thing, how can you control
you or your environment unless you know who's giving the
orders.

As far as the preclear is concerned, all he has to learn
and the biggest lesson he has to learn is who's boss.
That's the biggest lesson he has to learn. The first lesson
he learns: Who's boss? The auditor. And the next lesson he
has to learn, and the lesson the auditor teaches him after
he's learned the lesson of who's boss is: Who's boss? I am.

And if he learns both of those lessons, he's boss. He
doesn't have a sudden command sneaking up on him that says
"I think I will be sick now. Okay, I'm sick." And he'll,
"Who-who the devil said that?" He could say to himself "I
am well," or he could say to a person in the society,
without even articulating it, "You're well," and the
person would be well. A command will be carried out as
well as individuals understand who is giving the command,
and as individuals are able to receive the command and know
what and who is receiving it.

So there, in essence, is Opening Procedure. It's very easy,
but it should be done right if it's going to be done at
all. And it better be done, because it'll save you many,
many, many, many, many hours at the beginning of cases.

Furthermore, it puts the preclear to a large degree under
your auditing control, because you're changing his position
in space. Therefore you are to some degree handling him and
he knows it. And so he can follow your auditing orders
afterwards. But unless you've given him that much
indoctrination, he doesn't think he has to follow your
auditing orders afterwards.

He'd rather listen to that voice that comes in from two
sectors off the left occipital, the voice that says, "You
sure look silly running that." You know that a lot of
preclears sitting there, they have these voices that say
things to them. Perfectly sane preclears. They've been
engineers for Westinghouse, or somebody, for years and
years. Or they've been mayor of the town or something. And
the mayor... you'd be surprised; he'd probably... the mayor
of Poughkeepsie, or Podunk or something, very well may have
been running the whole city and so forth on this basis:
"Let's see now, should we go in for slum clearance?" and
then he sort of listens for a moment. And there's a little
voice just off to the left of his nose or someplace, and it
says, "Yes." "Okay. Yeah, slum clearance. Yes, that's what
we're putting up in front of the City Council this week."
That's the way he was running the town. You examine him,
and you find out this circuit he depends upon utterly says
yes all the time. It doesn't ever say no. He never
discovered this himself He was under the command of a
hidden influence.

Woe, woe betide he who is under the command of a hidden
influence. If you put an individual in the society... out
into the society and then convince him that the society is
all running under a hidden influence of some sort, you're
liable to spin him. It's the loveliest mechanism of all as
far as psychosis is concerned - the hidden influence.

All right. You'll find a lot of people that are always
trying to add a deeper significance to what I am teaching
people in Dianetics and Scientology. You know, there's
something about "Where do you get the information from?"
"Who tells you this?" "How do you plot that out, from what
source?" It never occurs to them that about the only way
you could ever latch on to Scientology or have developed it
at all would be in the aggregate if you were in a sort of a
native state of knowingness. If you were in a state where
you were being told all the time, believe me, you never
would have developed a thing. You get the idea? The fellows
who tried to research the mind from textbooks on the
subject of the mind never got there. They didn't get there
because continually they were being dictated to by hidden
influences.

Well, I'm not a hidden influence dictating anything to
you - not even vaguely. Most straightforward sort of an
approach possible. Nothing mysterious about it at all. What
I'm telling you is the aggregate experience of myself and
hundreds, even thousands, of auditors. This stuff works. It
works because it's simple, because it's a direct approach
to the problem, and because it doesn't have any bugs, which
is to say hidden influences in it.

Okay.
