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-4 - 5404C02 

Number 5 of "Universes and the War between Theta
and Mest" cassettes.


PRESENCE OF AN AUDITOR


A lecture given on 2 April 1954

Okay. This is April 2nd, 1954. Hour's lecture to
Professional Unit 5.

I want to talk to you something about the presence of an
auditor. About the beingness of being an auditor. Most of
the time I talk to you about techniques; talk to you about
all kinds of manifestations, phenomena, how to produce
results and so forth. Well, let's get very, very
fundamental and let's go into how you could be an auditor.

Now, of course it's taken for granted that an auditor - if he
were really a good auditor - would know all the processes and
he would know all the definitions, he'd know all the
fundamentals and he'd have them at his fingertips so
quickly that anything the preclear did or any phenomena
which turned up, he would be able to tabulate and account
for, quickly.

But we still would not have covered his own beingness as an
auditor. Now, in the first place, an auditor is something
that's not quite human. As a matter of fact an auditor had
better not be human. The better auditor, of course, is
somebody who is capable of exteriorization, stable
exteriorization and able to maintain it and able, actually,
to patch up anything that might go wrong as far as his own
case is concerned. He ought to be up to that level. That
isn't up to Operating Thetan but it's certainly Theta
Clear. Now, that's stabilized exterior no bang back in and
so forth. He should be that, simply to resolve the most
fundamental problem there is with regard to livingness.

Scientology has a great many processes which handle a great
many conflicts. But there is one conflict that is
inescapable and unavoidable wherever you have Homo sapiens
and that conflict is this: The body is very insistent upon
somethingness. It has tremendous insistence upon
somethingness. It has to have insistence on somethingness
because if it didn't have it'd starve to death. It depends
upon exterior attention in order to live. It is then an
insistence upon somethingness.

Now, if you were to duplicate teeth on a preclear, you just
say, "All right. Now, let's duplicate teeth." And he starts
duplicating teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, teeth, till he gets
lots of teeth, lots of teeth, lots of teeth. First thing
you know out of this big pile of teeth which he's gotten
out there, he'll start to get the emotion "Whee! Let's all
be teeth. Let's fill the whole universe up full of teeth.
Everything's got to be teeth." Well, of course this is the
central motive as far as teeth are concerned. Everything
must duplicate teeth. Any object has this as an obsession.
It must be duplicated. If it goes downhill it gets down to
a point, finally, where, of course, it must not be
duplicated, which is it must hide, withdraw, get very
small, be hard, compact.

But here let's take this problem of when it just has the
obsession "We got to make everything into a similar object.
Must have everything duplicated." This is living objects,
of course, you understand? And we find then that the body,
at the very best, is not necessarily obsessed with making
everything in the universe into a body, but it's obsessed
with the idea of filling up all space. It has that. It's
going to fill up all space, that's what the body's going to do.

If given complete reign to its ambition, any effort to
communicate would be an effort which would contain
form - form, substance, mass. In other words, any
communication the body itself does all by itself must
therefore and thereby contain mass. In other words, the
ambition of a somethingness is to have something. If it's
going to communicate, it must have itself duplicated. And
a body is something, so therefore something must be at the
receipt-point of any communication emanated from the body.

So you could say the ambition of the body, then, is to fill
up the universe. And make a very simple statement of the
thing. Okay, that's very well. The ambition of the body is
to have something to fill up something, so forth.

Well, what about the thetan? Let's supposing he gets into
an obsessed state where he's very compulsive. Well, his
beingness is nothingness. And so to have a complete and an
accurate, perfect communication there must be nothingness
in terms of form and mass. Any communication from a thetan,
to be perfect, would have to contain no form, no mass. You
see, a thetan doesn't have form or mass, and so an optimum
communication from a thetan is, of course, something that
contains no form and no mass. In other words, he wouldn't
even have space. He wouldn't even want space. In other
words, he would want nothing.

And he's trying to reduce the universe to a nothingness so
he can communicate with it. That's obsessed, you
understand? A body never gets above the level of being
obsessed, the thetan easily does. Now, an obsessed thetan
compulsively acting, not understanding what he's doing - long
gone sort of thing; he doesn't quite know he's there, he
doesn't quite know what he's doing - yet has this obsession
to make nothingness out of everything. That would be
nothingness out of all space. Well, how would he have to do
this - make nothingness out of all space? He'd have to
collapse it, wouldn't he? So he puts everything under
collapse and restraint in order for it to get down to nothing.

Well, what do you think the emotion is of a thetan in a
body trying to communicate? You know, that's pretty mixed
up isn't it? Here you have somebody in a body and he has
the ambition of making everything into nothingness - you
know, obsessively; he doesn't know what he's doing. And
here you have the body trying to make everything into
somethingness. And these two ambitions are crossed and
conflicted in such a way that he doesn't know really
whether he's trying to make something or nothing.

The composite, then, called Homo sapiens is never
completely aware of whether he's trying to make something
in existence or nothing. He isn't completely articulate on
whether or not the future time track should have nothing
on it or something on it. He never has quite made up his mind.

There is the primary decisional break in any lifetime. It's
the break, you see - decisional. Theindividual can make up
his mind as long as he's predominately thetan. See? He is
a thetan, he knows this, so forth. He could make up his
mind. But as he drifts out of complete knowingness of what
he is and what he's trying to do he gets obsessively into
trying to make things duplicate him, which would be still
all right - he's just trying to make everything into nothing.
It would be a decisional thing. His decision would be
"Well, what are we going to do about that General Sherman
tank? Make nothing out of it, of course." Wouldn't matter
whether it was on his side or some other side. His
compulsive, obsessive response would be, in relationship to
the General Sherman tank, "Let's make nothing out of it."
Wouldn't matter whether it was on the German side or his
own side or something, just the answer would be to make
nothing out of it. If you want to look at the condition of
war materiel and so forth which is normally in the hands of
guys in fairly good shape and so forth, make nothing out of
it, whether it belongs to their own... themselves or the
enemy. All right, wreck it, reduce it, squash it.

Now, he goes down on this "make nothing out of it, make
nothing out of it" until he hits the body obsession line
and he disappears out of view and were left in possession
of the body's ambition which is to make something out of
it, to make something out of it. And the end product of
this, of course, is to collect all the junk in the world
and to make massive masses of mass wherever possible and so
forth. It's just something, something, fill up all space.

Well, another product of this, if you please, is to have
all kinds of ridges sitting around. That's one way to fill
up all space. That's a covert way of filling up all space.
That's to put up enough ridges, enough electronic masses,
enough compulsive, obsessive mock-ups to really fill up all
space. You know, doesn't matter if it's hallucinatory,
that's okay; we're going to fill up all space. Because we
have a somethingness, we're trying to communicate,
therefore everything must be a somethingness.

Okay. We pop somebody three feet back of his head. He
immediately recognizes something - if he has any certainty
being exteriorized. He recognizes there's the body which he
is using as a communication relay point. He'll recognize
that he is here and he is at liberty to make something or
nothing at will. Well, there's a tremendous resurgence the
moment he really regains a big certainty on being
exteriorized and is able to do it stably. Soon as he
achieves that point, then he can selectively make something
or nothing. In other words, just because he's communicating
and he is nothing is no reason everything he communicates
to has to be nothing. He doesn't have that obsessive
duplication at that point. And he doesn't pay very much
attention to the desires and wishes of the body with regard
to making the universe into something.

But he's as bad off as he continues to pay attention to the
body's obsessive desire to make something everywhere and
as long as he himself cannot differentiate between whether
or not he ought to make something or nothing. The ability
to think, to make decisions, so forth, to the thetan who is
very high up - he would not consider it necessary for a
duplicate of himself to appear simply because he was
communicating with something. In other words, he could talk
to a wall and still have a wall there. He could talk to a
mountain and still have a mountain there. He could talk to
a body and still have a body there. The body wouldn't have
to disappear to nothing. He could also at the same time
face the fact that he could talk straight into space, which
is very close to nothing. It wouldn't disturb him a bit to
talk into space, and it wouldn't worry him that space was
not duplicating him.

All right. In other words, we would have a clear-cut idea
of what we were doing. But as long as somebody is stuck in
a body he is up against this "maybe" classification.
"Should I make something of it? Should I make nothing of
it? What am I doing? What am I doing?" Well, we'll make
something of this and then we'll be very selective about it
and we'll make somethings of all these things we consider
good and we'll make nothings of all these things we
consider bad. And of course, all the things we're trying to
make nothing out of may have an entirely different idea and
so we'll get into a big conflict and an enormous confusion.

This is the confusion of an auditor who has not been
exteriorized to a large degree. He doesn't quite know
whether he should make nothing out of the preclear or
something out of the preclear. It apparently is all right
to him the preclear has massive ridges and hallucinations
and everything else, permanent mock-ups, things like that
sitting all over the place.

An auditor who is interiorized and who doesn't recognize
the fundamentals with which he's dealing of course could
sit there and, "Well, that's all right. The fellow's got
the whole universe full of energy and that's his universe
and that's his universe. That's all right. We'll just let
him sit there," and so on. He wouldn't recognize this as a
rather undesirable condition.

And if he were, you might say, relatively high-toned for
Homo sapiens, the idea of theta clearing somebody would be
fine because he could really make nothing out of the guy.
See? That'd be all right. But "Let's make nothing out of
the body, too" would follow in immediately afterwards.

So this individual would be perfectly happy to grind out
engrams, engrams, providing he had some security in the
fact that it was sooner or later going to reduce the body
down to a dust spot. And particularly let's make nothing
out of the hopes, dreams, ambitions, protests, ideas and
goals of the preclear. If he was just obsessively on this
line, why, he'd just be making nothing out of the preclear.
The preclear says, "I just had a horrible headache."

And this auditor who is making obsessive nothingnesses - he
would say "Mmm mm-hmm m-hmm. Now, let's process your foot
some more," and so forth.

And the preclear would say, "I have a horrible headache."
"Mmm. Now let's get the other foot." Let's not make any
capital out of any communication. Let's just make the guy
into nothing as fast as possible.

Now, let's get the reverse of this. Preclear is sitting
there, the auditor knows what he has to run on this
preclear. This pre clear is obviously having a very hard
time with direction and so forth. And the preclear should
have run on him next-to-last-list of Self Analysis, just as
a little test on the case and then some Opening Procedure,
something on that order, something mild. And the preclear's
sitting there and the auditor's sitting there, and the
auditor says, Well..." He's got good ambitions. You know,
his heart's in the right place. He knows he's going to do
well by this preclear if possible. And he starts to say,
"Well, now, let's get something...

The preclear says, "You know, I've been having trouble with
my elbow lately."

"Oh?" the auditor says. "Hmmm. Well. Well, let's see, can
you get a duplicate of that?" And here we go. Where's this
session going to wind up? In the dust bin.

The guy might as well have never sat down. Anything the
preclear says, the auditor makes more of Anything the
preclear comes up with the auditor makes more of. He makes
something of everything the preclear communicates. He gets
deeper and deeper in the somethingnesses too, and he'll get
more and more and more and more significant about the case.
More and more significances will turn up because he has to
make something out of the communication. So, boy, will he
make things significant.

This in essence was analysis. Every time somebody came up
with the fact that they had a slight blink on their eye,
why, the fellow said, "Well, were you ever worried about
flirtation?" You know, you got to have significances. No,
the guy's got some dust in his eye. "Well now, this is a
flirtatious manifestation which probably stems from the
Oedipus complex." Now, let's get significant. Now, let's
make more of it and more of it. And finally if we make
enough more of it, why, we've really got the guy nailed
down in a body.

What happens to a person undergoing analysis of the old
school? He actually just gets sicker and sicker and more
and more wrong with him, because more is being made out of
everything he advances. And what he originally advances was
that there was something wrong.

So we have validated the wrongness of the case and have
clung to that and have made something out of it up to a
point where the fellow thinks he's walking on glass
twenty-four hours of the day. He just can't... So much is
wrong with him. He wonders... A few weeks deep in analysis
an individual begins to wonder how could he possibly have
lived? It's an impossibility, obviously. Because he had
been found to have all these repressions, these complexes;
"make something out of it," in other words. Well, that's
because the analyst is there, he is pinned down and he is
being 100 percent a body.

You get any race, any civilization or culture which has
gone below the level of "man can have a soul"... You know?
Races and cultures go up to a certain level, and up to that
level an individual has permission to have a soul or be a
soul. You know, this is not outside of our computations.
And then he crosses that little sharp border line and he
goes over into the never-never land of an individual can't
have and is not a soul. The second we do that an individual
can't have nothing. An individual will always have something.

Then you get advertisements for Kelvinators and
monopolizing all the entertainment time, and you got to
have something, you got to have something, you got to have
something, got to be something, something, something,
something, more something, more something, more something... 
wluuhhh! Of course, he's just got to be this and that
and so on.

In other words, the second we depart from a nothingness
complex, nothingness ceases to be part of an individual's
scheme of life. He couldn't think, for instance, of taking
a vacation where he would simply go and sit down under a
tree and do nothing for two weeks. And yet that's a very
sensible kind of a vacation. Individual says he wants a
rest. Well, all right, let him go and sit under a tree for
two weeks, see? Quiet, that's fine. All right.

No, no. No, you'll find that isn't the case in an
electronic society or a mass society that has more or less
abandoned the idea that there's any nothingness anywhere.
And it's abandoned the idea of the spirit and the
being-ness and so forth. I'm not talking religiously. It's
very silly that man went ... The way it decays is they
finally say, "The soul is something else. You're you and
the soul is something else." That's modern religion.

You know, that's the same as a preclear saying - by the way,
let me inteiject this one because it's something that you
ought to know very well - it's the same as the preclear
saying, "Well, yeah, I'm outside my head, I know that. I'm
over there." See? He's over there. What are you dealing
with? Immediately you should, without giving much outward
manifestation, hold onto your chair, keep your hair from
flying into the air and quickly go into "where we start."
Is it lying down and mimicking where he lies or just where
do we find bottom for this case, see? "I'm over there." All
right. That's Christianity. They're always saying "my soul"
you know. "You've got to save your soul." Well, that's the
same as "I'm over there."

Well, so having departed that line we find the individual
today who goes on a vacation has to engage in more hard
work than you ever racked up anywhere. He has to climb ski
runs and he has to hack down trees and go bridlepathing
and all the activity, activity, activity, something,
something, something. The guys, you know, I've seen offices
just practically on the verge of ruin because they'd given
two or three vacations. Guys are laid up with broken legs
and sunburn and snake bite.

You see, even the period of rest must be something. One of
the ... You know, a recent symptom of this is the fact
that they can't even let a nothingness like sleep exist
anymore. They have, I think, something that's called a
Dormaphone or something like that. It's related to a
dormouse; I think, it must be - it's about as silly. Here we
have a guy with a pair of headphones on while he's asleep
learning all night. Yeah, they do this. There's a... It's
a very lovely address. It's the same address as the
American Psychiatric Foundation, same building. And there
are police forces in the United States which solve the
problem of a policeman is unable to learn the thousands of
pages of city regulations by clamping earphones on their
police force while it sleeps and they play the regulations
to them all night long. This is real cute. But this is all
a manifestation of there can't be a nothingness; there must
be a somethingness. So they've even invaded the world of sleep.

Well, what do you get when you get this eventually? Well,
of course you're just getting everything into more and more
solid matter. If you want to find... If you wanted to look
over any planet - if you were to go to a strange planet and
you look it over - you want to find out which race there was
going to cause the most trouble and upset, you would look
at some of their constructions and you would take the
heaviest mass... Let's say we had twenty nations on the
face of this planet and they all made some kind of products
of one kind or another. Let's say they all made phonographs
or they all made rocks of various kinds. We would pick the
heaviest and most massy phonograph or rock, whatever it
is, and say, "There is the nation which in the past has
been extremely warlike, has overflown its borders and has
caused a great deal of trouble on this planet."

And everybody would say, "How did you know?"

It's the one where nothingness becomes impossible. We
hectically have to make a somethingness. Well, that will
cross up every time with the individuals who are fairly
high-toned compared to the low tone of that society. And
these guys are still going on the basis of an obsessive
nothingness. And these two things go together - "We have to
make heavy mass" and "We have to obsessively make
nothing" - into such a conflict that we get the nation which
will overflow its borders and try to enslave and enchain
its neighbors.

This is true in terms of wide civilizations. If we were to
go around to six stars... Let us just hypothecate that we
have several stars and each one of them has a civilization.
We were to go around to these stars and look over the
civilizations on the planets surrounding them, we would
discover that there was one outfit there that was real massive.

They weren't necessarily big bodied, but everything was
dense and heavy and massive and "we got to have more mass"
and "we got to have more mass, you know." There's the babies
that are going to wind up eventually conquering that
particular space area. And they're going to chew it up like
mad.

Now, there is no human type society or anything
recognizably as such on Jupiter, but the habitable planets
of the solar system here finds Earth the biggest one. And
it finds here on Earth the heaviest machinery nation and so
forth as the one which has caused the most trouble in the
last few decades. Last few thousand years really. That's
the German nation. They're typical in this direction.

They're very significant, deductive logic, they figure,
figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure, figure,
figure. Always got to make something out of it.

You come in, you say, "It's a nice day." Well, for God's
sake, let's drop it at that. It's a nice day. So it's a
nice day. "Well, u-thu-thu-thuh not over in Aachen. You
wouldn't get away with that in Aachen. Well, it's a nice
day, yes. But then, of course, this time of year... This
time of year, we very often have nice days except on the
days when we have bad thunderstorms. But we have lots of
bad thunderstorms at this time of year ordinarily. And it
doesn't look very well out there. As a matter of fact, this
afternoon we will probably have a thunderstorm." Now, you
just said it was a nice day - that's your hard luck.

Now, recognize this manifestation from some preclear you're
trying to audit. Every time he runs into a concept which
simply ought to go poof! instead of the concept going
poof! the lock going bap! and that's the end of it. Or the
engram just going over the shoulder and forgotten about and
it's just disappeared - instead of that occurring, you just
start to get more and more mass energy.

The way this is manifested is the preclear says - the
PRECLEAR says - "Well, let's see. I'm... you're saying...
saying 'Remember a time when your mother... when your
mother was mean to you.' Was your mother ever mean to me?
Well, yes, you see that would make a big difference in my
case because my mother was related to the... the
Haberdashes of Port Boston. And you see they were very
vicious people when it really came down to that. I
remember there was somebody in that family - somebody in
that family went insane if I remember rightly. Yes, yes,
yes they had a big, big quarrel about it one time. I wonder
if I was in that quarrel. All right, let's see, how old was
I at the time? No, I guess I would have been..." Rrrrrr!

And you just asked them if their mother was ever mean to
them. You find yourself seven counties and eight families
away before you finish up. Why? They're compulsively making
something. Let's not get any more significant than just
what they're doing. They're compulsively making something
of every remark. And you bring up to view, you say, "Your
mother ever mean to you?" A fellow should, you see, if he
was in good shape, if he was getting into better shape, and
so forth, progressively... "Mother ever mean to you?"

And the fellow would say, "Hmmm. Hey, yeah," see? Bang! We
blew a lock, we blew another lock, we'd blow another lock
and another lock and another lock, bing! bing! bing! bing!
In other words, Straightwire all by itself will work on
this individual as long as he has the liberty to make nothing.

But the second you start to run Straightwire on a case
which is compulsively, obsessively being a body, why, the
case has to make something more for every thing which they
find there. And they just wind up in the midst of the
doggonedest deposits of energy you ever heard of. Nothing
ever blows! They've got to go in the direction of something
all the time - something more, something more, more
complex, more significant, more this, more that. They don't
have the right to make nothing out of something. Well, your
job as an auditor is to bring them up to a point of where
they can blow these locks, blow these obsessions, not
manufacture more of them.

This individual left to his own devices, because he's got
to make something out of nothing, would just simply spin
himself right down and right in. He would make something
more and something more and something more. You tell him,
that there... if you told him there was anything wrong with
his case he'd come back the next morning with eight more
things wrong with it, see? He'd have multiplied it. What's
he going on? He's dramatizing the body trying to fill the
universe full of mass. Not be any more significant than that.

That's what we are looking at. That's what the individual
will try to do. This is where he's going, this is where
he's headed, and you as an auditor are supposed to head him
off. You're supposed to get him up to a point of where he
again can make nothing out of things. Because if he can't
make nothing out of things he can't make nothing out of his
aberrations, and that's your job.

Now, let's take you as an auditor. You can almost exactly
predict what an auditor will do with a case - almost exactly
predict it - simply by looking at the state of case of the
auditor, unless the auditor is very well trained. There's
two things you can do about this. You can bring his case
level up or you could just train the hell out of him.
That's why we do both in these Units.

Now, where would the auditor sit who was having a case go
into deeper and deeper and deeper, more complex
significances all the time? He would be making
somethingnesses, wouldn't he. He's going to make something
out of this preclear. He's going to ... Also he's going
to do this: he's going to get the preclear three feet back
of his head and then, because he was told to do that, the
preclear is there and then he's going to move hell and
earth to get that preclear back into the head and mixed up
in mass. Because it's an intolerable situation to the
auditor to have that preclear be nothing. But in order to
achieve a duplication, of course, the preclear's got to be
something. So he hasn't any business out of his head. So
we've got a basic disagreement, then, with the tenets that
the auditor's dealing with. Net result. he can't audit
worth a darn. See?

All right. Now, let's take the fellow who kind of knows
he's a thetan and he's kind of doing all right. He knows
he's a nothingness but yet, he doesn't articulate it. He
isn't up to a point of where he can be completely choosy
about what he's doing. He's still running on lots of
machines, unseen urges and impulses and so forth. And all
he'll sit there and do is just try to make nothing out of
the preclear.

Now, one of the funny manifestations of this, we had a
couple of auditors started in on somebody in Unit 2 and the
next thing you know they had that preclear stretched out - he
was also in Unit 2 - and they had this preclear stretched out
with practically every machine. . This fellow was pretty
good at blowing up machinery - that is to say, blowing up
thinking machinery - and they had him in a condition where
he'd blown up every machine that they could lay their hands
on. In other words, they'd taken away all of his machinery,
just like this, see? And boy, they were trying to make
nothing out of him in a hurry. And he was lying there
gasping. He was in horrible condition. Why was he in
horrible condition? Well, they'd upset his havingness
beyond the point of tolerance. He couldn't stand it.

And the staff auditor brought up the condition of the boy
simply by feeding him some engrams. That's all he did was,
you know. mock up some engrams. In other words, they
rebalanced this fellow. This fellow wasn't yet in a
condition where he could tolerate all this nothingness.

You ask a bunch of people to put nothingness in the walls,
and if you were to ask a group to put nothingness in the
walls for an hour or two, by George, you'd have an awful
lot of those people sick. They'd get sick at their
stomachs. A stomach for instance can't tolerate
nothingness. It knows better than to have any nothingness.
That's the way you starve to death. People get sick at
their stomachs and dizzy and all that sort of thing.

So this fellow, of course, got very weak, very shaky. What
were the auditors? They were in a condition where they
knew they were nothingnesses, you see. But they were not in
a kind of condition where they were trying to think or act
or look, you see? They were just compulsively and
obsessively dramatizing about the lowest level of
recognition of being a thetan. They just had to make
nothing out of everything in sight.

This preclear shows up; they've got to make nothing out of
him. They make nothing out of his machinery. If they'd had
a technique to do so they would have erased his body from
the skull to the toes.

Well, the business of living consists of a great many
somethingnesses and a great many nothingnesses. And an
adequate business of living, of course, is conducted by
somebody who, at will and on his own volition, can make or
tolerate something or nothing at will. 

You can go down the street and you see a car down there, a
very beautiful car, and you say to yourself, "Gee, that's
a pretty car." You'd just as soon drive this car. And you
go around the block and you see a wonderful - well, you see
somebody walking along, you know, a politician, a vacuum.
And you say, "Look at this complete nothingness." And
you're perfectly happy about the thing, of course if you
wanted to, why, you could alter conditions on these things.

What's the difference then between being obsessively a
body, obsessively a thetan and being self-determined? Well,
a person who is self-determined is somebody who can
tolerate or create something or nothing and be happy about
it. And a person who's obsessively being something or
obsessively being nothing has to - in the case of
something - has to obsessively make something, create
something, fill up the whole universe, or obsessively make
nothing out of everything and he can't be happy about it.

The two great differences. Now, you're trying to get your
preclear up to where he can be happy. To be happy, he'd
certainly have to be able to tolerate or create something
or nothing at will.

This requires, then, that preclears be worked by people who
certainly have an understanding of this. Not necessarily
Theta Clear but they've certainly got to have a fair grip
on this thing. So what's the auditor doing? Now, you can be
very... very precise. You can say, "What are my goals
relating to this preclear? And I'm going to be a good boy
and I'm not going to kick over the chair. I'm not going to
spill cigarette ashes in his eyes at the moment when he's
exteriorizing. I... when he... After he gets out I'm not
going to send him all around the room having him look for
my pocketbook which - huh! - which I left home. And I'm going
to be a good boy. I'm not going to do anything like that.
Going to be a real nice boy, conduct a good job of
auditing. Get the guy three feet out of his head," then go
completely blank. "Let's see uh ... Well, umm ...... Oh
yeah, there was Change of Space Process. Oh yeah. Be at the
entrance of the MEST universe. Now, be here. Be at the
entrance of the MEST universe. Be ... "It'll probably...
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

He was sitting out there. He just that moment had found out
he was exteriorized and now he's being sent off to some
place he knows not what of and probably doesn't believe in.
The next thing you know this is all just too confusing.

Well, what's essentially then the goal of the auditor?
Well, the auditor has to be pretty self-determined because,
in effect, a Theta Clear is somebody who can be the
nothingness of actual beingness or pretend to be a body or
pretend to be a combination of both or he can tolerate
something or nothingness at will.

Well, if that's the condition a boy's got to be in, your
auditor's got to be up to where he can tolerate this kind
of a condition, otherwise he'll never create it. He's got to
be able to tolerate it analytically or he has to be able to
tolerate it simply because he can. Two ways to go about
this, you see?

So in processing we find many flubs. Each and every one of
those flubs can be categorized into two classes:

1. The problems relating to what I've just told you -
something-nothing, tolerance of; or

2. The auditor simply doesn't know his business. See? I
mean he has not studied enough, he doesn't know enough, he
hasn't practiced enough, he doesn't have enough experience
yet, doesn't have enough confidence in the processes. And
he's dubbing in some sort of a process which he hopes will
work or which sounds good. He doesn't quite know where it's
going to go. In other words, these departures. But these
things fall into these two classes.

You could take somebody who was a Theta Clear and still
have him not well informed with regard to processes and
have him (quote) "lay an egg," processing. I've seen them
do it. Their immediate assumption is that the person
they're talking to is as well off as they are. And they
kind of assume this. They take a look at him; makes him
very impatient that the fellow's all clouded up and black
or he's wearing green masses of energy down below his body
or something of the sort. This is upsetting to them and
they just say, "Well, tear all that off and we'll get on
with the auditing." This of course the fellow can't do. He
has to make something.

Well, so much, really, for that. An understanding of those
principles, by the way, goes an awful long way toward
clearing up the problem and poise of the auditor. Let's go
on to some more indefinite thing such as poise. You know,
calmness rather than serenity is pretty well the keynote
of an auditor's attitude if it's going to be successful.
You've got to be calm. Even if he's enthusiastic, he should
be calmly enthusiastic. The most thing... He can throw
his voice - dart his voice, into the thoughts of the
preclear, you might say, with such suddenness or with
enough mismatch of tone to the situation so that the
preclear will think he's frantic. The preclear is not good
at reading what the auditor is doing. He's always quite
sure the auditor is about to do something wrong, damaging
or actively malicious. And being sure of that, he actually
starts to audit real well only at that time when he becomes
confident that the auditor's not going to do something
strange, sudden or unheard of.

And the best way to treat this is simply to continue in a
calm frame of mind with regard to the preclear. Well, now
if you don't know whether or not your processes are going
to work on this preclear it's pretty hard to assume a calm
frame of mind. Because you yourself are hung up on a maybe.
You start feeling desperate. It's obvious this preclear is
not recovering or something of the sort and you say, "Well,
let's... obviously this case requires a little more
desperation." That's just what the case never requires.

Processes you've got will work if you know how to use them.
And if you apply them with the proper sequence to the right
cases and enter them in the proper lineup and get them to
the level they're supposed to be before you start throwing
heavy artillery at them.

In short, knowing that what you're doing does produce the
result, in itself produces a state of poise on the part of
an auditor. If you were absolutely sure that by doing such
and so a technique on a Black V would eventually unblack
him and make him into a IV and then a III and then a II,
even if it were going to take you thirty hours of hard work
to do that, you could sit there and be very calm about it,
couldn't you?

But supposing you don't know what the hell is going to
happen. You don't have any confidence this fellow will
unblack. You don't have any confidence that these
hallucinations will go by the boards or this fellow will
get any better. You have no confidence in the fact that,
although you've audited him ten hours today that by Tuesday
he won't be twice as crazy. You have no confidence in this
because the whole world is trying to knock your confidence
out from under you - the preclear, the preclear's relatives,
the people who immediately surround you, and so forth. All
these things are depending on you to reassure them, and
therefore they hand you bad news so that you will reassure
them. And because you're an auditor nobody ever reassures
you. You see that? Nobody ever thinks it's necessary to
reassure you. So it never occurs, or would occur very
seldom, that a preclear would think it was necessary the
day after he'd been audited to reassure the auditor that he
was coming along fine.

No, he came along 90 percent fine but that lock they tried
to blow about Mama, that didn't blow. So the next day he's
on the phone and he says, "You know that lock we didn't
blow? Well, there was this... I had a dream about it last
night, a horrible nightmare." He doesn't tell you that he
spent the three weeks before he came to see you, regularly
from midnight till four o'clock in the morning, sitting in
a brightly lighted room facing the door, holding on to the
sides of the chair for fear Mama would walk in the door. He
doesn't tell you this. No, last night he had a slight
dream. He's going to complain. He's going to tell you
what's wrong. They very easily think that your acceptance
level are things that are wrong simply because you're
remedying things that are wrong. So they tell you all the
time. So they never bother to reassure you. You're in a bad
spot if you expect preclears and the public to reassure
you. They won't.

You're going to create, eventually, almost a vacuum
somewhere around yourself because you're pouring out
reassurance, reassurance, "It's all right," "Everything is
calm," "We're all happy," "You're going to be all ..."
"Everything's going to be all right," "Yeah, it'll all
work out somehow or another." And you keep pouring this
out, pouring this out, pouring this out and the next thing
you know, where the hell is the stuff you've been pouring
out? And you'll kind of get the idea that you're sitting in
a vacuum of it. You've given it all away. You're unwilling
to create anymore of it; it doesn't do any good anyhow.
This is obvious to you - obvious that your reassuring people
doesn't do them any good. And you're liable to get blue
about it and you stop manufacturing it; it will make a vacuum.

If you want to have some fun sometime, why, just mock up
thousands and thousands of people reassuring you.
Magnificent. I mean, you've got all kinds of vacuums of
this stuff already in life.

Okay. Let's see then that if you're sitting there expecting
a license to survive from the preclear, you're in the wrong
chair. You are the issuer of licenses to survive and the
preclear is the issuee. And if you think that after you
have run a particularly nifty technique, the preclear is
going to sit there and applaud and tell you what a good
auditor you are and how brilliant you are, I say you're in
the wrong chair. You'll find out someday how lonesome God
must get. And it's just on this sort of a basis. Nobody
sits there and comments on it. You're the only one that
comments on you really. Everybody else is so introverted
they don't even know you're there, hardly.

There's a case that's worse than "what fog" is "what
auditor?" Now, if you expect that your work is immediately
going to result in applause and reassurance and that
everybody will come around, that you're perfectly safe in
the community because you're an auditor and so forth, well,
you've got this civilization sized up wrong. You're setting
yourself up in a position which is only tolerable. It's
only tolerable. You can only actually maintain such a
position if you can also maintain the position of not
needing a whole flock of pats on the back every time you
turn around. You're the guy that pats people on the back.
They don't pat you on the back.

However lonely this must be, if you get around to a point
where you've got a vacuum of back pats, the way to get rid
of the vacuum of back pats is to mock up a lot of people
patting you on the back. See? It isn't to look to the
preclear for it.

Well, therefore the preclear expects calmness, assurance
and confidence. The best way to achieve calmness,
assurance, confidence is to have every reason in the world
to be calm and assured and confident. You see that. I mean,
the best way is to have every reason in the world to be.
Well, that would be (1) you know what you're doing, (2) you
do it accurately, (3) you know what the preclear needs when
he needs it, and (4) you know by experience that what
you're using does change his case level. And you can be
real calm. Now, if you knew all those things, the
psychiatrists at Mount Sinus Hospital, where they create
sinusitis... That's where the United States gets its
quota of sinusitis, I think. Anyway, he could come down and
talk to you and say, "Oh, you know, this Scientology
doesn't work." They don't talk quite like that they say,
"Well, ahem, hemm, you know uh... this uh... hmm hmm uh...
subject... that .uh... you uh... were trying to use uh..." 
That's talking fast.

If you knew those four things, you could listen to that
boy, or a whole board convened to find out whether or not
you should be permitted to go on surviving and practicing
this stuff. I mean, you could sit there with the greatest
aplomb. You could say, "Oh, it works. What are we doing
here? What's the matter with you people? Haven't you got
anything that works?" You could be utterly disgusting; they
wouldn't do a thing to you, they wouldn't dare. Why? They
know they're looking at somebody that knows. If they're
looking at somebody that knows, he's dangerous! But they're
not dangerous enough to do anything to him.

Confidence, calmness - these things actually result out of a
condition of mind that knows that it knows what it's doing.
That's the best remedy in the world for auditor presence,
is simply know your job. Then you don't have to pose; you
don't have to hold the right-hand pinkie in a certain
position; you don't have to concentrate on the exact voice
intonation to use when you say, "Now, give me three people
where you are not," or whatever... You don't have any of
these problems.

This preclear says to you, "All right. I'm all set." And
you say, "Well, give me three places where you are not."
And he says, "Well, hmmm, I'm not so-and-so and so-and-so."
You say, "Come on, three places where you are not. Only
this time let's spot them."

And he says, "Hey! I'm up against a tiger. Gee, I guess I'd
better find three places where I'm not. Hm. This guy is
dangerous. He's liable to do something to me." And he's
made his first postulate that he's liable to get well. It
may scare him to death, but you made him make the
postulate. How? Just by being confident that he was going
to get well, only you never told him he was going to get well.

You'll also venture into comments of this character.
Somebody comes in and says "Well, I don't know. I spent
eighteen years in self-help yogaism and so on. And I've sat
on my left foot for twelve of those eighteen years and that
was supposed to make me very, very well. But now my left
foot's crooked. And what, what can you do for that? You say
you can do something for that but I don't think you can do
anything for that. But my neighbors told me to come over
here and see you," and that sort of thing. 

And you'll look at him and you'll say, "Well, sit down." 

And the fellow, "Well, I don't know whether..." 

"Sit down. All right now, mock up an acceptable left foot." 

"Well, I don't know whether ..." 

"Mock up an acceptable left foot!"

"Oh let's see. There's an old one with bunions and it's
twisted, it's been burned and it's just had a snake bite.
Yeah, what do you know? It snaps in."

You say, "Okay. Now, mock up some more of them."

You see, if you don't know that you know you can do
something about that - he's come over and he'd say,
"Yah-yah-yah-yah left foot."

And you'd say, "Well, I tell you, here's a lot of proof and
here's so and so, and you know we really have worked on
these things a lot of times and this stuff is fairly new.
And it came out of nuclear physics and there's a lot of
material in it which is very good. And I'm going to have to
educate you to be a complete Scientologist so you will let
me process you."

You don't have to tell him a thing. You say, "Sit down." You
know you know what you're doing. You don't have to convince
yourself you know what you're doing by explaining it to
somebody else. See that? That makes a great deal of difference.

Now, there is no problem here where you're concerned of an
aura, of an energy mass that exudes from you and somehow or
other penetrates the pores, corpuscles or oblongata of the
preclear. You're not telepathically communicating with the
preclear so that your confidence is an emanating sphere
which is registered by the preclear so he feels confident.

This is just another way of trying to make something out of
an empty universe. You see that? I mean, just explaining it
that way. Because it doesn't matter whether that aura
exists or not or whether you can make up energy or not.
This is beside the question. The fact of the matter is the
people you deal with couldn't register it if it was written
with letters of fire on the seat of their pants. They are
about as sensitive as a railroad spike.

Now, that's one that you must firmly keep in mind. You can
sit with perfect confidence in an auditing chair and worry
about whether or not your girlfriend is out with Henry or
your boyfriend is going to leave you that evening. You can
sit there and be a rack of ruin actually and do a perfectly
splendid job of auditing. You obviously are emanating
sorrow and grief and upset in all directions, and obviously
the preclear will pick this up and it'd spin him. Would a
railroad spike pick it up? Well, the preclear won't either.

Sure, you're liable to give him a session which isn't a top
session, but you'll still do more for him than any medicine
man or doctor on the face of the earth.

Now, let's go into actual beingness or presence. In
practice, where you are meeting people and contacting
people continually, it is not good for you to carry along
the kind of a mock-up which would belong in some other
field of endeavor. People have a certain stamp for a
certain mock-up. They expect painters to wear overalls and
painters' hats. They expect diesel engineers to smell of
diesel oil and wear overalls. This is a communication
symbol just as much as a name or a word is a communication
symbol. There's nothing wrong with your avoiding
communication symbols, but you should recognize that they
do communicate and that the populace at large does depend
upon these symbols for communication.

Well, let's say you like to dress very dishabille. You
don't particularly care to wear any kind of clothing that
would be professional clothing like a lawyer or something
like that. You just... you'd rather wear some overalls,
let's say, and so on. Well, it doesn't communicate. You're
putting up a symbol of somebody wearing overalls who should
be wearing something else. And thereby people look at you
and you - your form, the mock-up you're putting up isn't
communicating to them. It's communicating something else to
them. It isn't communicating somebody who can do something
for them.

Well, I don't know what the optimum mock-up would be
really, because I haven't tested it out in the society. But
to show you how far from your level of acceptance an
optimum mock-up would be, I would say that in other times
certainly the optimum mock-up for healing was somebody
walking around in a clean sheet with a gold halo.

You can put up that kind of a mock-up if you want to, if
you're good enough, if you're high enough on the Operating
Thetan level. But sheets get in your road and so on. If you
really wanted to make people well in windrows and make them
slaves forever, why, appear in such a mock-up sometime
before a crowd that's attending a soiree or something of
this sort, you'd knock them dead.

Of course, you'd kind of feel like it would be real, real
weird; you'd feel real weird walking around in such a
mock-up. How come you'd feel weird just because a mock-up
that you were pushing around looked weird? Ooh, this is
strange, isn't it? I mean, you shouldn't feel weird just
because you're pushing around a strange looking mock-up, to
you. You should be able to push around any kind of a
mock-up you want to.

So let's look at it from a basis of appearance. How much
does appearance do for the preclear's case? Well, if
you're taking strange cases and you're picking them up,
people have no acquaintance or sympathy with what you're
doing or anything of the sort, then you had better
establish for yourself; in your time and era, what the
public or what such people would expect you to look like.
Look like that. That's easy. If they expect you to wear
sport clothes and so on, why, wear sport clothes. This
comes a little bit on the border line of giving them what
they want. But it isn't giving them what they want. It's
the first communication step. You want to communicate with
these people.

Well, the first thing that communicates with them is your
appearance. And if your appearance doesn't communicate to
them confidence and it doesn't communicate to them this
message - "Somebody who can do something for me" - it doesn't
communicate to them that message, then you have an awful
time from there on trying to make that message go across.
It doesn't go across. And so you will take much longer on a
case. You'll have many - many less preclears and so on merely
because you have not communicated to them.

Now, this can be carried out to reductio ad absurdum. What
does the British public expect a psychotherapist to look
like? Whrrrh! Supposed to wear a black suit - it's a
uniform! - a black suit, a black vest, very, very soberly
cut, and if you please, a little white rim that goes around
inside the black vest. And a certain type of tie and an
exact kind of stud, pearl stud in the tie, and an exact
kind of a hat, a kind of a homburg sort of a thing. And
they're supposed to carry a stick, you know, of a certain
kind and so on.

You can go over there, you can look at trades, you can tell
what trades people are in just by looking at them. And you
go over there and you can always tell who's a
psychotherapist or a doctor. He's got this uniform on. See?

But the funny part of it is, is one of these guys in that
sort of a uniform walks into a sick room or he walks into a
waiting room or something like that and everybody jumps up
and says, "Yes, Doctor." There's no mistake whatsoever as
to who's there, see. This way they keep themselves from
getting confused.

Well, there isn't any reason for you to look somber or look
this way or that, but what does the public expect you to
look like? The public that you're trying to do something
for, what do they expect you to look like?

Well, your first level of communication of course is your
own appearance and when you violate this then you have
broken down the first communication bridge. And you'll
find out that it'd do a lot.

Now, of course, around here we know what we're doing. This
is an entirely different thing. We know what we're doing.
And we're working at it and so on. We're not trying to
treat or approach an alien and unsympathetic public. We're
just being ourselves.

But when you go out into the highways and byways and so
forth, if you just give some thought to that as the first
communication point, you'll all of a sudden find out that
it takes you lots less time to produce the first result.
And there's lots less weight on your ability. And after
you're a little bit known in your area half your job's done
before you walk up the front door, you know. "He'll be here
in a few minutes, everything is going to be all right" sort
of a thing. "I am now on the threshold of the office. I am
half cleared. I am already exteriorized."

This is where communication starts working in your favor.
Well, don't make it tough for yourself; any tougher than
you have to. Don't make it tough for yourself by putting a
communication bridge between you and the preclear. All
right, these are the elements I cover in the beingness and
presence of an auditor. The impulses which you experience
can be understood by these statures. Or you can simply get
rid of the impulses by auditing which after all is the best
way to do it.

Okay.
