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

UNIVERSE: PROCESSES, EXPERIENCE

A lecture given on 8 April 1954


Okay, this is the 8th of April, 1954.

We have a great deal of ground to cover in terms of
processes. You should first know that processes are methods
of codifying experience so that the key experiences of the
individual may be discharged or put within the control of
his knowingness - the key experiences of this experience
called life.

What are the aberrative factors of life? Is life itself
completely aberrative? Is there any way to, you might say,
beat it? Is there any way to lick this thing called life?
Well, that's quite a thing to undertake, really. All in a
few minutes, sit down with some preclear and go bang, bang,
bang, and he feels better. Remember, this individual, at
least so far as we can trace on an E-Meter has been about
seventy-six trillion years on a track. He's had experience
after experience after experience after experience. He's
been through things they wouldn't dare film or describe
anywhere. And yet, we have the total conceit of- in using a
few words - of attempting to resolve his wobbliness, his
inabilities, his incapacities which have resulted from
these experiences.

Now, just look at that a moment. That's quite a thing to
do. It's even impudent to fly in the face of all existence,
sit down with somebody and say, "Ya-Yahp-yahp-yahp-yahp,"
and this other person says, "So-and-so and so-and-so and
so-and-so," and all of a sudden they feel better about
existence.

Well, to envision the fact this could be done would have to
be a pretty mighty vision anyhow. But the truth of the
matter is it can be done and it is being done.

Now, we have a totally mechanical problem confronting us
when we look at a preclear. When I say we have a totally
mechanical problem it's because all that is wrong with him
is mechanical. What is wrong with him is the mechanical
aspect of existence. This individual has become dependent
upon the mechanics of existence to carry him forward
somehow or another, to some unknown destination he knows
not what of. This is the way he looks at it. He's totally
dependent upon a society, a civilization, upon a body, upon
his eyesight, upon his charm, personality, his education.
And somehow or other he's going to manage to get through.
By doing what? By being totally dependent in all
directions, and self-determined on almost none. We discover
that an individual is his best - is at his best when he is
best self-determined. What is self-determined? Well, in
terms of this society it could be grouped as survival. He
does things which will cause him to survive.

That would be a self-determined action in the view, you
might say, of the society itself. But that is not really a
totally self-determined action because it is modified by
the fact that he is being asked to survive,

Well, the funny part of it is he can't do anything else.
It's utterly impossible for this preclear to do anything
but survive. The artificiality is that he may cease to
survive. He believes that he can cease to survive. He has
himself identified with objects, the structure or form of
which can be destroyed. He's identified with a body. A body
can age or be killed or die, and so he conceives himself
capable of aging or dying.

Well, this is an identification with something that
something can happen to. Nothing can happen to the
preclear. This is really the background fact of why
processing works. The secret of the MEST universe is
contained in these processes. The secret of it is contained
herein. The main secret of it is that there is no secret.
It is chimerical, no matter what its great, massive
magnificence is. It is totally chimerical. Only if it were
totally chimerical could you ever resolve a case. If it
really did possess the tremendous solidity that it pretends
to possess you would never resolve a case. Let me assure
you. You would find yourself balked by so many trillion
trillion trillion factors, just in everyday livingness,
that it would have to be lived in order to be processed.

Now, there is a process or two which depend upon
livingness. You can live a different way and be better off.
But you know something funny? Those are very limited
processes. Those are extremely limited. They go, that is to
say, to a very limited distance. All right, if your wife
makes you unhappy, leave her and be happier. I mean, that's
environmental processing. Doesn't mean the individual is
really going to be any better off at all, does it?

So, it's odd that the business of livingness itself is not
a process, unless it is immediately and intimately coupled
with thinkingness, which is to say, thought itself. If you
couple livingness with thought it becomes more livable. But
if you address thought - the impulse to create, the impulse
to destroy, the ability of the individual to make postulates - 
why, then and there, and only then and there, are you able to 
resolve a case.

You are dealing with a problem wherein all the solidities
are actually chimerical and where the only actuality,
really, has no mass, no space and no energy connected with
it. If an auditor keeps this in mind he will not then go
chasing down too many dead alleys and winding up with too
many failures. He will not wind up in the soup if he just
keeps that in mind. He is dealing with something that can
think. That ability to think all by itself is what causes
reality. An individual then can be processed simply because
processes can be leveled at getting him to change his mind
and values. Now, if he can, without recourse -too much
recourse certainly to the MEST universe; to energy, space,
time, matter - if he can be brought to change his mind, he
can be then established on a new plane of beingness.
Survival is the criterion as far as this society is
concerned. But that is only part of a curve. A curve which
begins with create, goes through survival and comes over to
destroy. The graph of that curve could be a simple curve of
there is nothing, now there's something created, now it
goes through a persistence, and that persistence itself
dwindles, fades away and disappears with a resulting
nothingness.

It is the curve itself which is at fault - the whole curve.
The absolute necessity to create something, the tremendous
necessity to destroy something, the obsession that one must
not create something, the obsession that one must not
destroy something results in the obsession that one must
not be created something and one must not be destroyed when
he is anything. And so on this curve of livingness in this
universe, which runs from create through survive to
destroy, we get changing illusion. The person achieves
different conditions.

Here is an interesting fact. Now, let's just look at an old
man. He is doddering around. He would tell you he has
wasted his life to some degree; he won't have another
chance. He has to act like an old man. He has to think like
an old man. Let's, you might say, throw him back down the
time track. And the next thing you know you can have him
thinking like a young boy. You can actually change that.
Life itself changes that.

Every once in a while you'll find some very old man who has
gone into a period of senility and again is a young boy.
He's grabbing that new chance too soon. He hasn't gotten
rid of the body yet you see, but he's already anticipating
going on with another body. Energy can age. Space can
contract. Matter can alter its form. But the production
unit called the thetan does not age, does not change.

A thetan is a curious beast. He's a curious beast. He
exists noplace; he exists everyplace; and he can assume
finite viewpoints of anything he wants to assume. He gets
into a total agreement with everything around him and a
belief that he must at all means, you know, stay in perfect
agreement with his entire surroundings, that he mustn't
alter these things, solely because the forms and spaces in
which he exists themselves state continually that they're
going to resist any alteration.

A thetan, by simply changing one postulate, which is "I am
a body" to "I am a life unit" exteriorizes from the dead.
He just changes one postulate just like that and away he
goes. If you want to run past deaths on an E-Meter you will
discover the individual is very, very concerned right up to
the moment when the body is writhing and dying and then all
of a sudden he is about a hundred feet above the body or a
thousand feet above the body looking down at it, saying,
"Well, why was I ever connected with that?" Here is
striving as long as there's any striving to be done. But
the second that it's obvious that there's no further
striving to be done we have somebody exteriorized.

Now, let's take a test on that. Is that true where the
roughest case you will ever process is concerned? Is it
true that this individual is surviving and will continue to
survive after body death. Is this true? Yes, it is. You say
to this individual, "Be three feet back of your head."
Mm-mm. You say, "Run this. Run this. Do this. Do that."
Mm-mm. No change, no change, no change.

Well, this individual is hugging down to the center of that
survival curve. That create-survive-destroy curve. He has
drawn way in from destroy. He has drawn way in from create.
In other words, he's middle-curving it. And the tighter he
gets to the center, the more he's going to persist in that
form and you're not going to get him exteriorized, you're
not going to get him changed, you're not going to get him
any better; because he knows, if he knows nothing else that
he's only a body and that he will die. He knows this.

So I ran some clinical experiments on such people, and I
made them very, very sick. I made them ghastly sick. So
sick that they would have been very, very happy to have
been dead. They promptly exteriorized somewhat sadly. One
of them was quite interesting. He was a fellow that nobody
had ever been able to exteriorize. And this fellow
exteriorized and went out and sat on a bell buoy and he
said, "I could cry for ten thousand years. You've done this
to me," and so forth. And he went out and sat on a bell
buoy and finally got interested in a pelican out there and
then he got interested in some sand and he cruised around
for a little while. And then finally the body was lying
there practically stone cold and he finally came back and
said, "Oh, the body isn't that sick. Nah." Kicked it back
to life again.

Peculiar, huh? Well, this individual is playing the
desperate side of existence. He's determined he's going to
get on. He's in there crowding and crushing one way or the
other. He has got himself totally identified with energy.
He's running on a whole series of postulates. But remember
all you have to do to change a postulate is just to change
a postulate. That's all you have to do. The postulates are
not parked out on the time track. It is true that
individuals have associated postulates with energy masses.
But as soon as they exteriorize they can alter these if
they wish to and if they themselves have not totally shut
off a lot of knowingness. Now, why do they keep coming back
into a body line? They keep coming back into a body line
simply because it seems to be as much action and interest
as there is. They have no other interest beyond this
point. And so they get in there and they worry about bodies
and they try to care for them and swamp them up and so on
and so on and so on.

Well, in view of this, one would think offhand, then, that
there was really no point to processing, if all you had to
do was to get somebody to change his mind. That's all you
had to do and he would get well, and there wasn't any point
in making him change his mind anyhow. He wasn't going to go
to hell. He wasn't going to go to heaven. He isn't going... 
Well, there is a point in processing, and that point is
that in this society particularly each one of us is
influenced by the action and conduct of every other one of us.

If you have ever had a stupid man on a laboring crew, your
life was much less pleasant. If you have ever had a
psychotic living in your house, you find out your life was
that much less pleasant. If you have ever gone out into the
society and found people who should be doing something
sensible or something progressive or having a good time,
doing terrible and arduous things and moping and groaning
and fooling around, milling. You yourself would say, "Well
now, look-a-here this can be better. I mean we can have a
little brighter color and we can have a more interesting
future," and so on.

Well, let's reduce this down to the final limit. Here we
have a planet. You know, planets are scarce? Have you any
idea of that? Planets are really quite scarce. This is not
a very bountifully mattered up universe. People haven't
agreed that there would be that many planets and here we
have a problem where you have a habitable planet. You have
bodies. You have things squared around pretty well. They're
not unlivable at all and somebody's coming along and
saying, "Hey, let's just make nothing out of the whole
thing. Let's just wipe it out and throw it away."

In other words, let's wipe out and throw away all of the
endeavor, all of the progress, all of the total agreements,
and everything that thee and me have been doing here for
the last many thousand years. We're just going to throw all
this away, huh? Let's make it totally pointless.

Of course, in final essence it is a bit pointless. But if
you've ever tried to sit on a pink cloud for ten thousand
years, if you've ever sat in a theta trap as some preclears
have for eighteen or twenty thousand years doing nothing,
with no goal, with nothing to do, with nothing to observe,
without even the vaguest synthetic goal, you'll understand
that it's quite interesting to have a playing field.

Did you ever see a happy football team who had no stadium?
Well, of course, the way to play football according to
governments and so forth is to blow up the stadium.

Well, of course if you let neurosis and psychosis become
the order... the agreed-upon order of the day, if you let
man stand back completely balked by a life form known as
bacteria, if you let sickness become the only agreed-upon
state; even to that degree you are throwing away the stadium.

Now, if we went on to a further point and fixed it up so
there was no air to breathe, I tell you it's awful rough
living as a ghost. If they blow off many more of those
hydrogen bombs there won't be any air to breathe. I'm not
kidding you there. The oxygen content of Earth is
lessening at a great rate right now, mostly because too much
plant life has been wiped out. The deserts which have been
growing... The Arab, for instance, in making the deserts of
the Middle East. Belisarius and Justinian and their cute
little action of making North Africa a desert. Did you
know that it was a military man who did that? North Africa
is a mess right now. There was a beautiful little country
once. All up along the southern coast of the Mediterranean.

Well, we won't go into history like that. You can go and
read Gibbon if you wish, and pick up on that. But here we
have a consistent destruction of life form. We're getting a
consistent destruction of the amount of atmosphere. A
consistent destruction then, of the amount of mobility
which can be entertained here on this sphere.

All right, so there are other worlds. So we can start it
all over again. In what kind of a condition? I'd like one
of you actually to believe that all in a moment he could
synthesize all of the know-how necessary to make and take
care of a social order in a moment. You won't do it. That's
because it's agreement. It's agreement. It's agreement
plotted against time.

All right, so our battle cry could be "Save the stadium."
So, there is a point to it then. It's a good stadium.
Nothing wrong with it.

When you were younger, medicine had but one specific,
aspirin - cure a headache. It's now got about twenty. That's
an interesting advance, isn't it? Fifty years ago there
wasn't such a thing as a paved street. When you had a house
it was normally completely blanketed in dust. When you
walked in from the outside you had to take off big, heavy,
and mud-covered boots. When you wanted a fire in your house
you had to cut down a lot of trees. In other words... In
other words there was a tremendous effort just in the basis
of supporting existence.

Now, we've come up to a period right now where there's
enough leisure to actually resolve some of the problems of
beingness. There wasn't enough leisure before. That's the
only reason they weren't solved. It wasn't that people
weren't bright enough. It's the fact they weren't solved by
too much pressure in other quarters. You start putting out
a lot of physical effort in various directions and you
cease to put out very much contemplation. Takes a certain
amount of contemplation and serenity to come up to such a
point. What we're doing right now is bought by the
leisure - is bought because of leisure. This leisure is
bought by actually our own labors; your labors, my labors.

No matter what you may think of it, you get yourself on an
E-Meter and look it over. How much did you personally
contribute to the social order which you are now existing
in? How much did you contribute? You contributed an awful
lot, believe me. I don't care whether it was getting shot
or shooting somebody at the battle of King's Mountain, or
whether or not it was running that darn blacksmith's shop
that shoed horses all that time back there in 1810 in
Kentucky. Or I don't care what it was, whether you were
over in Europe working this way and that. You have a
tremendous contribution up the line.

Now, there's one thing you can run on a thetan which is
quite interesting. Putting something there so he will have
something when he comes back. Just ask him to get the idea
of moving out of his body and then coming back and finding
nothing - if you want to make him sick. He gets real sick. He
gets real upset. So, you ask him to get the idea of putting
something there, then moving out of his body, then coming
back and finding the something there. This is the way he is
surviving.

It is a matter of interest. It is all very well to say,
"Well, we can all survive so there really isn't any point
in it. There isn't any point in furthering our survival."
There's a point known as interest. You can either be
interested in surviving or not. I'd hate to be bored again
for a few thousand years. Now, our goal, then, is
definitely a social goal. And we arrive at that social goal
by picking out of the social confusion the factors which
depress the society to an unworkable state. That's the
social goal. Now, what's an individual goal. Well, let's
pick those factors out of the individual and get him to
shift his mind concerning certain factors to a point where
he can continue to thrive as an individual. Now, instead of
survive let's use the word thrive and we will see a vast
difference right there.

Now, what is the necromancy then by which you, an auditor,
can actually pick a person up to a point where he's not
just surviving - because he's doing that anyway - to a point
where he's thriving. Well, he has made up a whole lot of
postulates and a lot of bric-a-brac and a terrific
dependence which are unnecessary. You will swear halfway
through Universe Processing that if you continued the
process on the preclear you would wind up with a murderous
maniac. You would swear it, that this would be the case. We
say, 'All right, get some more places where your mother
would be safe. Now, some more places where your mother'd be
safe."

"Oh, she'd be safe at the bottom of a lime pit.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Yeah, she'd be safe in the belly of a
snake," and so on.

And look, it looks at first glance, then - and if we didn't
have such processes it would look, then - that any return to
sanity or any pull out of the pit of slavery would be
immediately into a revolting, mad, angry, "I-am-the-only-one 
state." This would be obvious, you see? So, halfway
through it does become obvious. So, a therapy which almost
worked would tend to bring about the conclusion that any
therapy would only produce a dangerous individual who would
destroy the social order. That's real cute. And that's one
for you to remember because you're going to be challenged
on this point by the public.

The therapy which almost works will simply put up a guy
into a relatively murderous frame of mind. Because you've
just now given him some idea that he might be able to get
even with all of his enemies. His main goal in getting up
at all, he feels - immediately after he gets out of
apathy - his immediate goal is to kill off everybody, kill
off everything, to be the only life unit in the whole
universe. And he would tell you at this point that there is
really only one aberrative thing and that is association
with other life forms. That's what did it all. He's certain
of this, if he's certain of nothing.

But do you know that if you run Universe Processing on an
individual and you run it well - "Where is mother's
universe" - well, you get him through this point of "safe in
a lime pit and she's safe being ground up in machines," so
forth; "Well, she's safe right where she is. Yeah, she's
safe around there I guess, um-hmm. Funny thing here, I
don't know, I just ... she seems to have moved off
someplace. I'm sitting here and she's sitting over there.
What's all this about?"

"Find some more places where she's safe."

"Well, she's safe right where she is. I don't care about
her. The devil with her. Well, let's see what else we can
get done around here." You know it's just a total lack of
interest as far as Mama is concerned.

Well, if we run out - making a clinical test of the thing -
if we ran out a great number of individuals, one after the
other... If we ran out a great number of individuals, in
even past lives, we would find ourselves of course -if it
were true that he was only going to be a murderous
individual when you finished up - we would find ourselves of
course with a fellow who now had no moral responsibility
for the social order and who was now at liberty to go out
and kill and maim and burn at will. Only that isn't the guy
we find.

We run out all kinds of universes. We start cleaning him
up. The next thing you know, it's been years since he
stopped on the street to pat a dog on the head and he walks
out there and you find him doing this. If you were to call
it to his attention he would be quite astonished that you
considered this odd. Dogs are nice; there's nothing wrong
with dogs. Dogs aren't dangerous.

So, a man's being dangerous to his environment is a very
temporary state which is brought about by the threat of the
environment against the man. He's merely duplicating the
fact that the environment has challenged those forms which
he himself has elected should survive. The environment has
so thoroughly challenged these forms that he believes his
only state of beingness should be to be very dangerous to
his environment.

Now, for instance I've been through all this on a basis of
Viewpoint Processing, Universe Processing and so forth, a
long time ago. Not too long ago, but long enough ago. I'm
quite able as a writer. I can always make the coffee and
cakes in this direction even more than with the HAS [Hubbard
Association of Scientologists]. If these processes produced a 
state of maniacal fury or a state of mind whereby we must cancel 
out all of existence, do you think I would be sitting here 
teaching you how to do this?

Audience: No!

I sure wouldn't.

The other test that one can make of such a thing is "Why is
it that an individual really gets mad in the first place?"
You can trace this very carefully. But do you know that he
tried to help something and help it and help it, and damned
if it'd be helped. And he finally got furious with it.
Well, if he can't help it he'll knock it off.

Really. Really. You can trace down a preclear's decline in
this fashion. You're asking him - he's sitting there on an
E-Meter and you're asking him various questions about
people he hates and detests and so forth and all of a
sudden we discover Bill. And he says, "Bill, whoa! If he
was only here. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Hrmmmph!" and so
forth. You could ask him this very calmly - which would
invalidate him and is not good processing but just the
matter of investigation you could ask him, "When did you
try to help Bill?" Wheee! Here we go. He'll go kind of into
apathy. "Hmmmmm. Yeah, well, I tell you he used to work in
my father's store. And I used to go around and I used to
say, 'Well, let me do this or do that and so forth,' and he
didn't want anything to do with me," and so forth. 

The inception of hate is a refusal of assistance. Probably
Russia is mad at the United States today for only one
reason. At the moment when the Bolsheviks had been able to
overthrow the Czars and the Archdukes and so forth which
had kept the Russian muzhik in a very horrible state, the
US and England and couple other nations sent in against
that fledgling government - which couldn't even hold itself
together with safety pins - sent in armies against them. To
get them to do what? To restore the monarchy and return to
the front the Russian army so that the Germans could be
wound up some more on that front. The Germans freed on that
front would result, according to the high command of
England and the United States, in a collapse of the Western
front. If the Eastern front had collapsed entirely, which
it did in 1917, then of course loss on the Western front
would be inevitable. And so here instead of getting some
help, Russia got her teeth kicked in by our troops. We were
still fighting Russia till about 1920, 1921. Everybody's
forgotten that. They wonder why is Russia so mad at the
United States.

Well, they've never forgotten it. Because it was right
there in the birth engram of Russia that the United States
attacks us with guns and ammunition. That's right there in
Russia's birth engram. And every time she starts thinking
about trying to get on with this project of getting the
show on the road she thinks of the United States - "Let's get
a hold of them and shoot them dead" because obviously the
United States is standing right there. Just like your
preclear is being awfully mad at a doctor - being furious
with doctors at large - simply because there's still a
doctor standing there in his birth engram. And you run out
some of the birth engram and he's no longer mad at doctors.
Well, there are various and better ways to handle
processing than that. But it can be handled that way.

Well, let's take a look, not so philosophically or
wanderingly about this, and just say, "Is it possible to
change an individual's mind?" Yes. The way you do that is
to find his mind. That's the first search of the auditor.
Let's locate his mind.

Now, we're going up against a law here and that law is that
given a universe, the postulates effective in it are those
of the god of that universe. The postulates which obtain or
are effective in any universe are the postulates of the
god of that universe. This is a law unfortunately, an
agreement which is so solid all the way along the track
that it's pretty hard to shake.

Now, you're trying to set up the preclear so his postulates
are again effective in his universe. Well, at first you
have to kind of find out what universe he is in, because
he may not be in his universe. So your first task is to
find the preclear's mind. If you want to make his
postulates effective upon him, you certainly had better get
him in a condition whereby he is in the universe where his
postulates are effective. Because his postulates are not
effective in Mother's universe. Mother may have been dead
for twenty-five years and he still may be in Mothers
universe. Well, whose postulates are effective in that
universe he's in? Mother's. That's the only postulates that
are effective.

So, he's going on for years thinking of himself as a dirty,
nasty, squalling little brat - one of the postulates of that
universe he's in. He's going on for years knowing he has to
be helped by women. He's going on for years knowing he
will never amount to anything. Well, he's just got lost.
Well now, he can keep himself oriented very beautifully up
to a certain point. But in this total confusion of modern
education and modern this and that he's apt to get lost,
because he is entirely enclosed, you might say, and
everything seems to be waiting upon somebody else's
interest. That is to say he doesn't make up his own mind.
He waits for other people to make up their own mind about
other people. He's many times removed from making any
clear-cut postulates of his own.

And yet the only time when this civilization has ever made
any forward progress was when it has been confronted by an
individual who could make his postulates stick in his own
universe. Well, this is so rare - has been so rare - that
very little progress has been happening here, really,
compared to the amount of progress which could be
happening. The amount of action which could be taking place
is much greater, simply because we lack the... a good
separation of universes.

Universes work together very, very well so long as people
know they're in their own universes and know at the same
time that they are confluent with other people's universes.
You see, they know where they stand. They're not confused.
They're not in Mama's universe which is utterly enclosed in
Papa's universe, which is all mixed up in the physical
universe, you see? They don't know any of these things have
happened.

Now they say, "I don't know. I feel like I'm going to be
sick." And they don't want that postulate to take effect
and it takes effect. Well, that's very bewildering. Well,
they've gotten themselves wound into too many universes,
shifted over too far. Well, it's up to the auditor to shift
them just one more - one more. According to the preclear the
auditor's universe and the universe of Scientology are the
same universe. So it's just one universe.

The auditor has to have the preclear assume the viewpoint
of the auditor's universe for that time necessary to
disentangle the preclear from other people's universes. And
there is the first place we find his mind. We find his mind
right there. Because we have an organization of data which
is in itself the common denominator of all minds. So, we've
asked him to sort of step into the universal mind in order
to find the individual mind.

The universal mind is composed of a great many agreements
which are very set and if it were very closely traced, you
could then synthesize it in such a way that by asking the
preclear to step into it, he would then be able to envision
exactly where he is. And then be able also to step out of
the universal mind.

Now, what do we mean by universal mind? Like cosmic
consciousness or anything like that? No. All you'd have to
do is direct this preclear's looking-ness for a while and
you'd have him in a new universe. You'd have him in your
universe.

If you were a traffic cop directing a whole flock of little
kids walking across crosswalks, you're asking, temporarily,
for those little kids to step into your universe - the
universe of a traffic cop. They're safe in that universe
because you as a traffic cop merely have to hold up your
hand or blow your whistle and the traffic stops - it sure
better had.

Well, the little kids could hold up their hand and blow
whistles and traffic wouldn't stop. So, the safe universe
at that crosswalk is the traffic cop's universe, isn't it?
Well, these little kids step into the traffic cop's
universe to cross that street. How does anybody get them
into the traffic cop's universe? Just by telling them,
"Walk between those white lines. Look at the other side of
the street. Look up and down the street before you cross
and walk between those white lines." You've directed their
lookingness and that's all a universe consists of. It
consists of lookingness.

Now, the lookingness can have things happen to it.
Knowingness doesn't have to have a universe - no universe at
all. But lookingness does. And we get into universes the
second we get into lookingness. Because what is the
definition of a universe? It is something that has space,
energy and matter. That's the definition of a universe. Of
whatever composition we don't care, but there is the
definition of a universe - something that has space, energy
and matter.

If anything has space, their first condition then: What is
space? Space is a viewpoint of dimension. You've got to
have the viewpoint before you have the dimension. So, just
telling somebody to look is in itself opening up and
synthesizing for them and opening up a universe for them.
Just saying, "Look up and down the street," you're telling
them "Put dimension up and down the street." They've got a
universe. You see, that is the tiniest, faintest entering
wedge of how you make a big, solid, concrete,
done-in-pillars-and-columns universe. As far as we're
concerned that's how the MEST universe got here. That's
just as far as we're concerned. That's all we need to know
about it.

Somebody had to come along and get into an identification
long enough to get a complete communication and say, "Look!
Look over there look at the carnival. Look at this. Look at
that. Look at this. Look at that" much as a hypnotist can
do with any subject. And the next guy says, "By golly there
is a carnival. There is this. There is that." "There is
space" is the common denominator of all such statements.
"Look." "Look" would be followed by "there is space." Just
"look" means "there is space." "Look" contains in it the
fact that creates space.

Now, what about these fellows that are totally occluded and
can't see and can't feel and can't hear? Well, those
individuals have been told to look at themselves long
enough and often enough so that there isn't any distance
involved in it. Nobody can look at himself. Try and look
into nothing sometime. You can't look at yourself. You can
look at the form you're in. But even that's a very short sight.

Now, if you'll pick out of the preclear's life that person
who has said to him consistently, "Look at your shoes. Look
at your face. Look at you. Put your attention on yourself.
Put your attention on yourself..." If you were to pick
this up on an E-Meter and separate that universe out, you
would have, in a few hours of processing, a markedly
changed individual. Well, I can assure you that would take
place. Why? Because the individual has, of course, been
reduced in his own lookingness and then absorbed into
another universe - that universe. Naturally the individual
finds himself obeying the postulates of somebody else. So
he must be in somebody else's space. He's in Papa's space
or Mama's space or a teacher's space or he's in some other
space. It isn't his space. Well, how did he get there?
People kept saying to him, "Look. Look. Look. Look." All
these various directions.

Well, now, if you've ever noticed, a preclear who is a
little bit occluded and is hanging on to a heavy energy
mass has this mass collapsed against his back and extended
out in a sort of a globe in front of him. Has this mass
collapsed against his back. That is to say he has no space
behind him. Why? His body never looks behind him. He's
dependent upon his body to do his lookingness for him. And
his body never looks exactly through the back of its head.
As a result, he has no space behind him.

Now, you come along and you say, "Be three feet back of
your head." Oh-oh. How can he be three feet back of his
head? There's no space back there. He could be two feet in
front of his face. There's space there. But you don't want
him there. Why don't you want him there? Boy, that's really
somebody else's universe. You would move him out into a
new geographical location.

Most of the people you run into who are kind of neurotic
and yet are exteriorized are in front of their faces.
They're sitting out here in front of their faces. They're
no longer able to maintain their position in the head.
They've gone right on through. Of course they don't dare
look from anywhere out there. So they have to pass some
kind of a remote viewpoint back to the back of their head
and look through their eyes. It's a very complex and dizzy
structure. But there's no space in back of their head.

Well now, how would you find space in back of somebody's
body? How then do you exteriorize a person easily by using
the various tenets we're talking about right now? You'd
exteriorize him by getting him out of some universes,
enough so that you could get him out of the body's
universe, which of course has no space back of its head.
Then what is the test - what is the test of whether or not a
preclear can exteriorize or not? Is he so thoroughly in the
body's universe that the only space he has is the body's
space? Or is he sufficiently in command still of his own
universe so that he does have space back of his body. So
that is the test.

Now, we say "exteriorize." Well, that's interesting. In
order to exteriorize, an individual would have to be able
to make space. He'd have to make space simply by looking.
That's the way he would make space. If he can't make space,
it is because he is being compressed by some other
universe's space over which he has no control, which is
under the control of a god making other postulates than
himself. In other words, let's say he's in Mama's universe
and Mama's opinion of him is highly derogatory. Which is to
say, she's pushed in his anchor points, only let him look
an inch or two smashed it down all around, you might say.
And now he is in another space. He can see space,
certainly, but it's not space over which... into which he
can escape. He's already in a crushed-space area. His own
space is badly smashed down on him. And sometimes you get a
preclear - he feels to himself or he thinks of himself as a
little black ball. Well, this is all that's left of his own
universe. Which is to say, that's how far he is limited in
his lookingness. And the postulate he has had to make is,
of course, "I can only look this far. Mama is doing my
looking for me." He actually will have made that postulate
somewhere along the line and stuck himself with it, but
thoroughly. He has really of his own election put himself
into these universes.

You see, he elected to safeguard a body and then it had
certain dependencies and conditions which had to be met.
And this body in order to grow at all had to be dependent
on other universes than his universe. His universe was not
adequate to grow this body according to his own postulates.
So he turned it over to Mama to raise, or Papa, so on. He
isn't himself, in other words. He's owned. He's otherwise
owned. So the most intimate piece of matter which he has,
a body, is not his property - which is to say, isn't
contained in his own space.

Viewpoint of dimension: That is the first condition of a
universe. That is space.

Who does the looking for the preclear? Well, you as an
auditor have to do the first looking in auditing. You have
to do the looking. And one of the handiest ways to do the
looking is to get the preclear moving in space under your
direction. And of course, that makes him step into your
universe. Neat, swift little trick: Opening Procedure. Now
he finds out it isn't dangerous to be in your universe.
He's going to be in your universe until such time as he can
find a universe to be in.

Very probably as an auditor your first big gain on the case
is you have presented him at last with a universe he can be
in. He has to be in somebody else's universe - he's running
on this postulate uniformly - and you come along and you do
give him a universe to be in. Okay, that's all right,
that's fine, he can be in that universe. And after a while,
why, he can find some universes to be in. But this is the
course and goal of auditing in terms of space.

But above all other considerations is knowingness. An
individual knows without space, without energy and without
matter, without form, without color, without time. He
knows. Unless by postulates he has shut off his own
knowingness. And that's what he's done, of course. He's
just shut his own knowingness down. But in the process of
shutting it down he got himself beautifully lost.

Now, you can quite often find the first piece of space the
preclear ever made or the first energy which he ever made
and ask him to be that space. Ask him to be himself and be
the space and be himself and be the space. Every time he's
being the space, boy is he stupid. Space, of course, is a
reduction of knowingness. It's the primary reduction of
knowingness. That's what space is. Because there has to be
something over there at a distance. There is something a
distance away which he doesn't yet know about. That's the
condition of knowingness in space. And energy is awfully
stupid.

So, your preclear's being spaces, and he's being pieces of
energy, he's being masses, and he has taken on the total
postulates of these things. Well, he's saying, "I am
subject to the total postulates of a body. Means I have to
eat three times a day and I have to do this and I have to
do that." But actually a body is stupid. And if you were
to exteriorize and let your body go off by itself - it won't
by the way - but if you were to exteriorize and let your body
operate as itself, it would be the deadest body you ever
saw in a very short space of time. It'll keep on
mechanically breathing and it'll go through its mechanical
functions - pocketa, pocketa, pocketa. But it has no further
direction or mobility, because it's totally inverted. Its
universe is all wrapped up in itself.

Well, our problem in processing a preclear is a very simple
problem. It is presenting him with a universal universe - an
everybody's universe. This physical universe out here is
actually, evidently, everybody's universe. This physical
universe is everybody's universe. Everybody helped make it.
It didn't come down from one mind. But your preclear thinks
or has postulated continually that it belongs to somebody
else, that it's not his universe and it's not available to him.

You ask him to be three feet back of his head. If he were
in excellent condition you should be able to say, "Be three
feet back of your head," and then he has a perception of
the universe. Why? Because it's his universe. He made it in
company with everybody else. But he only has one viewpoint
of the universe. Or as many viewpoints as he'd have of the
universe - they're just his viewpoints. They'll never be
anybody else's viewpoints. They're his.

If you had two thetans standing on the same head of the pin
looking at the same room you've got two different
viewpoints of that room. You actually see two different
rooms. There are as many MEST universes as there are
people, as there are animals - just as many. And for
somebody to say, "Well, the MEST universe belongs to
somebody else" - that shows a reverse sort of a postulate
right there. He's going backwards already.

So, you give him a synthetic universe. It is a universe
which is totally composed of knowingness, and he can step
into that universe. You'll have a struggle with a lot of
boys trying to get him to step in, but they do, they will.

Opening Procedure does it. Various other things. You direct
their attention in terms of knowingness. "Remember
something real." That's directing their attention. "Let's
move from here to here and let's put your hand on
something," and so on; you're telling them to look. You're
actually, with those processes, making a universe for the
fellow. But what kind of a universe is it? It's composed of
what you're asking him to do, what you're asking him to
look at and his confidence in you.

Well, suppose he doesn't have any confidence? He's
incapable of confidence. You keep up a communication line
long enough on that basis and he can't help but have
confidence. It's just something that happens. Unless you
change your mind every once in a while or pick up a
brickbat and hit him with it every ten minutes or
something - he'll discover that he can't be in your universe.

Now, the action that then takes place after you have him
more or less in this universe is demonstrations to him that
he can change his mind. How do you run those? Well, there
are various processes here in 8-C which simply go right on
down the groove, one after the other, and demonstrate to
him that he has various things which can be altered. 

One of the first things he finds out, although many people
don't find this out for quite a while, is that there are
pieces of energy around evaluating for him. Well, this is
funny, isn't it? Energy is talking to him. Energy is
evaluating for him. It's energy that tells him whether or
not it's light or dark and so on. Well, he'll get out of
that sooner or later. His only certainty then is the
certainty which is handed to him from energy. He must
therefore be in somebody else's universe. These ridges
which are dictating to him must therefore be somebody
else's ridges. They're not his. Otherwise he would be able
to tell them what to do.

So, any time you have a preclear who is being told
perpetually by energy whether he's right or wrong, any one
of them who sort of waits to find out what happens, you
know immediately what's happening to this case. This case
must be in a universe where the energy is not his. If the
energy were his he could simply change it by making a
postulate, couldn't he? Obviously it's not his universe,
because when he makes a postulate it doesn't change the
energy. He waits for the energy to tell him. As long as he
waits for the energy to tell him, he of course must be in
somebody else's universe. What universe is he in? You'll
find out he's in dozens - dozens at least. And he hasn't
any space of his own. Well, the second he hasn't any space
of his own he can't look. So here is the problem of perception.

The problem of perception is primarily a problem of space.
Lookingness, space, they go together. It's not really a
problem of energy at all. Perception is knowing across a
distance. Distance is the common denominator to
perception. So, we exteriorize this boy and he can't see
anything. You must have exteriorized him into somebody
else's universe. Or he must be totally convinced that the
physical universe is somebody else's universe.

How do you solve this? Does it require any more processes
than you have? No, doesn't. Doesn't require anything more
than you know. Unless you have to know a great deal more
about Universe Processing.

Now, Universe Processing itself is simply this: Where are
those things surviving without your permission which you
feel are doing you in? Where are there a lot of survivals
taking place that you object to or consider are inhibitive
to your survival? You ask him, "Where is this safe? Where
is that safe? Where is something else safe?" You start
asking him this and that, why, you'll find out that he's
running into, actually, areas where somebody is continuing
to persist without his permission.

Now, you'll find that running Mama's universe first thing
he says, "Mama, why she's... Whoo! She's safe here, there
and everywhere and that room and this room and that room
and around. And in the sky and under the ground and...
Gee, she's just safe everywhere, everywhere, everywhere,
everywhere. Mama is just safe, that's all there is to
that. Boy, is she safe." And he starts dwindling down. He
starts finding less places where she's safe and then
finally he gets stumped. He can't find anyplace where she's
safe. She's just blank. "Where is she safe?" No, he can't
think of any place and then finally he'll think of one
place. And then all of a sudden she's safe everywhere
again and then she isn't safe anywhere.

And then the places she's safe are liable to be very
strange places, such as under a taxi's wheels or crammed
down the muzzle of a sixteen-inch gun. And he's coming up
the line and the next thing you know why, bang! Mama is
where she is, that's all. There isn't a question of being
safe from Mama or not safe from Mama. She's just where she
is and that's all. Everything's happy and perfect and
cheerful. He won't have any further trouble with
aberrations on the subject of Mama. He won't. You might
not have cleaned up a few places. You might have missed a
few places or not done the technique all the way through.
In such an event he'd have some feeling about it the next
day or two. But this would go by the boards. And you
wouldn't even have to touch it again.

All right. Then let's take processing in terms of universes
and let's find out that you get the preclear into a
universe which we'll call a universal universe. It's a
universe of knowingness. And then having him in that
universe you promptly shuttle him out of a flock of
universes he's in. And the more often you do this the more
able he is to make his own postulates stick and the less he
is subject to other postulates.

The only thing wrong with your preclear, he's so totally
subject to other postulates he can't make up his own mind.
Until he can make up his own mind you've got to keep on
processing him to some degree. What do you mean make up
your own mind? Make his own postulates of course.

So, the goal of processing is that point where a preclear
can make his own postulates. You'll find out after you've
separated him out of a universe that the last stages of it
where he was putting Mama in these places and saying she
was safe, you now have recovered his ability to make
postulates in the teeth of Mama's universe. And that's all
you're trying to do and that's the finite goal of Universal
Processing. How many universes you have to get him out of
depends on the preclear. The way you get him out of it is
"Where is that safe?"

Now, a much more refined method of doing it is, "Where
would Mama's viewpoint be safe?" But the funny part of it
is he instinctively knows Mama is a viewpoint. So all you
have to say is "Where is Mama safe?"

Remember to stay on the same person till you get it cleaned
up. I'm watching auditors do this, and they're only fouling
up when they let the preclear wander. Let's stay with the
same person we start with until it's clean even though it's
a fifteen-hour job.

Okay.
