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-12 - 5404C14 

Number 13 of "Universes and the War Between
Theta and Mest" cassettes.

SOP 8-D

A lecture given on 14 April 1954

This is a tape on a process known as SOP 8-D, [See SOP 8-D
in the appendix of this volume] as distinctly opposed to
SOP 8-C.

The reason I'm giving you this at this time is because the
investigation reports and so forth are all in now on D.

And D stands for nothing except it's in sequence to SOP
8-C. Of course, to a lot of preclears who intended to hold
on to their case, it'll probably stand for Damn.

The modifications which I'm going to give you here are
simply included in the material which I'm going to give you
here. Rather than tell you the changes over C, I'm simply
going to give you SOP 8-D, just in so many words.

The first we would have would be Opening Procedure. Opening
Procedure would be run in this fashion:

You have the preclear locate spots in space, while he is
walking around the room and looking around the room. You
get him up to a point of tolerance on a spot in space. That
spot can be in relationship to anything. It can be as tiny
or as large as he seems to make it. But when you finally
have finished with SOP 8-D, Opening Procedure, your
individual is able to spot a spot in space down to a
pinpoint, without either holding it with his finger or
pointing to it or anything else. He is able to keep his
attention, in other words, stably upon MEST space. Now, in
order to do this, he can use his own MEST body's eyes. And
there is the essential difference. We at least get him to a
point where he can direct this body to observe space. Very
good. That's the primary thing there would be there.

Naturally, in the process of doing this, you establish a
two-way communication with the preclear. You discuss
things with him. And as soon as you have completed locating
spots in space, now let's test his communication lag.

But if you have had a great deal of trouble getting him to
locate spots in space, and if you're not very successful in
getting him to locate spots in space, let's give him the
next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis - "Remember something
real" and so forth - and go over that, and then have him
locate some spots in space. This gives him a little more
havingness.

You recognize the next-to-the-last list of Self Analysis -
"Remember something real" and so forth - actually gives him a
certainty on the fact that there was a yesterday. He can
have something; he can have yesterday. You're asking him
for things he can have, that's all. "Remember something
real" - now he can have an incident. If he could have enough
past incidents, he might make up his mind that he could
also have a present incident. And that's why that process
works.

Your preclear who is having havingness trouble is certainly
having present time trouble. He's having present time
trouble for the excellent reason that he has insufficient
havingness to have anything real. He can't have anything
that's sitting right around him. There's his difficulty.

Very well. We go, then, immediately into Step I, SOP 8-D,
and Step I, SOP 8-D goes in this fashion:

You ask the preclear to be three feet back of his head. If
he is, we continue right on down the line. In other words,
we just don't do any more Step I. Ask him to be three feet
back of his head; okay, so he's three feet back of his
head. If he isn't three feet back of his head, then, we go
right on down the line just the same. In other words,
there's no particular change here. You know, it doesn't
matter whether he is or is not back of his head, then, in
Step I.

Step I simply, in SOP 8-D, asks him to be three feet back
of his head, and that is the total and entire step. And if
he isn't three feet back of his head, you would naturally
go to Step II, wouldn't you? And if he is three feet back
of his head, you'd go to Step II. In other words, you
wouldn't even have to know whether or not the preclear
stepped three feet back of his head or not, to run the
process. Because that's what 8-D does, and that is one of
the main things it's aimed toward. It's let's get over the
bridge of auditor criteria on whether or not the preclear
has exteriorized. Let's put it into the "So what!"
category. Because, believe me, when you get through with
this process your preclear is going to be exteriorized.

I'll give you a little anecdote about that. Over in England
they've invented something called a White Five. Of course,
this tape will be played over in England so they shouldn't
consider that we feel England is back of us here in
Phoenix. Matter of fact, it isn't more than a week or two,
mostly because a great many of these tapes and so forth are
immediately shipped to Great Britain.

This White Five, of course, is something that's been
invented by your stuck-in case. This person who is stuck in
is being a body, and a body always has to make something.
Now, the guy who is stuck in says to somebody, "Be three
feet back of your head" - of course, he's just got through
making nothing. This is intolerable to him, so he's got to
make something of it. So he has to really invalidate the
preclear or do something strange or peculiar and figure
out a new lot of figure-figures and say, "Well, if anybody
did exteriorize into MEST universe space this would
automatically mean he was obviously a computing psychotic
at least." In other words, a body is dedicated to the
proposition that all and everything should make, at all
times, something - that there should be something there. And
the preclear who is in a body, who is stuck in, is trying
to make something. And his effort to make something will,
of course, mean at the very least that he wants the
preclear to be there as something. So he wants the body and
the thetan or anything else that is this preclear to be
sitting in that chair; he doesn't want it over the hills
and far away. That would be the impulse. This is strictly
on the basis of the communication graph.

Now let's take the other side of this. An individual who is
exteriorized rather obsessively would never rest, really,
until he had reduced that body that's sitting in front of
him there to practically nothing. You see, he wouldn't pay
much attention to exteriorization either. He'd simply see
that the body remained sitting there after five minutes of
auditing and this he would take as an affront. Because of
course, obsessively, an exteriorized individual who is not
Theta Clear would attempt to make nothing. That would be
his goal. So he also would invalidate an exteriorization.
He wouldn't care about that exteriorization; he'd find
himself still confronted with a body, and he would react to
try to knock this body to pieces if he possibly could.
Let's run enough engrams to knock the body to pieces.

The stuck-in auditor would have rather a tendency to add
enough engrams and incidents to the case to make the body
a little thicker if anything and a little more dense. So
between these two arguments, you get a lot of argument
about exteriorization. You could invent such things as
White Fives and "Do people who really exteriorize,
exteriorize, exteriorize?" - yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.

This argument, you must recognize as an auditor, stems
totally out of the process of communication which requires
that a duplication take place. An individual speaks at the
comm point, C, and speaking from this comm point he expects
whatever he is to be duplicated at E on the effect line.
And so we have a problem in... when we have a problem in
this, we get ourselves beautifully involved, because if a
preclear exteriorized, the auditor who was stuck in would
want him stuck in. If the auditor is exteriorized, he would
not see that he could do the preclear any good whatsoever
while the preclear remained interiorized.

And both of these assumptions are not true. You can do a
preclear an awful lot of good without ever exteriorizing him. 
In fact, you can do more for a preclear at this time than you 
ever could with Dianetics, without ever exteriorizing him. 
You see that? You can do more for an individual at this time 
with these processes than you ever could with Dianetics, 
believe me. 8-D, if he just never exteriorized at all, would 
at the very least turn on his sonic and visio rather rapidly. 
So it's a case to a large degree of "So what" as far as Step I 
is concerned.

But just because we're taking the pressure off - where the
general public is concerned - of exteriorization, don't you
take the pressure off in auditing and say, "Well, he's
inside. That's all right." No! You're a professional
auditor. It's not all right if your preclear's inside. What
the hell's the matter with you? Audit him out where he
belongs, not sitting in the middle of a whole bunch of
engrams. Because you can reduce engrams forever. The thetan
regardless of what else he's doing is going to sit there
trying to make nothing out of engrams. They're all around
him. And he'll chew and chew and chew and chew and chew
until he's finally out of there. He doesn't care if he has
to make eighteen holes in the head.

All right. So, however, just for purposes of publication,
we have Step I as "Be three feet back of your head." Now,
you can discuss this point with him if you want to. And be
sure that you go over this bridge: When he says, "What do
you mean?" and so forth, recognize something. You are
dealing with somebody who is being a body. And he says,
"What do you mean?" In any brief instant, if he wants an
explanation or anything of the sort, you're just dealing
with somebody who's being a body. Now, there isn't any
sense in doing anything more about it than that. This
person has his reasons for being a body, believe me.

But the funny part of it is, a lot of these boys who are
being a body do exteriorize if you simply say, "Well, let's
try it." And then they're quite surprised. So let's you,
on a professional level, put that little step in there. The
fellow has a little protest; you see that he's not bunged
up, he's not very old, he or she's in good condition
relatively, and you know this person should exteriorize.
Well, let's not just skid over it that fast, let's at least
ask a couple of more questions - "Are you there?" and so
forth. But if he starts to give you any kind of an
argument, you just go on to Step II.

Now, what do we do with Step II? Step II is the same type
of step as always. Except we do it a little bit different.
We've asked him to be three feet back of his head and so we
ask him to get a mock-up of his environment and duplicate
it many times, and then get a nothingness and duplicate it
many times. And that's Step II.

Now, of course, perforce, asking him to get a mock-up of
his surroundings... By the way, many preclears don't
savvy, they don't dig this word. Most people, you know,
most people out on the street have a vocabulary of about a
thousand words. Mter they've been through the university,
they have a vocabulary of about four hundred words. That's
their common speaking vocabulary. So you want to recognize
that it is actually better communication for you to speak
colloquially rather than pedantically.

There's nothing wrong you see with pure English. As a
matter of fact, however, the purest English is the simplest
English. The most accomplished vocabularyist of the last
half century was a fellow by the name of O'Henry. You find
no big words in O'Henry's works - not a single big word
sits there anywhere. And yet, you know, he is using more
words than the most complex writer of German philosophy.
He's using more words. He had a greater command of simple
words.

If you have an idea, by the way, that your speaking
vocabulary is as great as you know big words, take another
thought. Your speaking vocabulary is as big as you know
words in general. And there are actually many more simple
words than there are complex words.

So when your preclear balks on doing something, you check
this about you: What did you do? What did you give him in
terms of command? Did you say, 'Would you please
exteriorize into the immediate environment and duplicate
the masses and bulks of the vicinity"?

He's saying, "Grrrr-grrr-grrrrr. What the hell? What the
hell?" He's already groggy or he wouldn't be sitting there
as a preclear. Don't make him more groggy.

You say, "How about being three feet back of your head,
bub. All right. Take a look at the surroundings - the room,
so forth; you know, surroundings - and get another picture
of it. Now get a lot more. One at a time, a lot more." In
other words, make your auditing commands comprehensible.

It's very easy to have an auditing command be
comprehensible if you know what you're doing. If you don't
know what you're doing, you can just have an awful time
with auditing commands.

But don't ever interrupt a communication line by making it
necessary for the preclear to ask you to explain whether
you're using English or Russian. See that? That's a
communication break.

So let's say, "Be three feet back of your head." Your next
immediate statement would be, "Okay. Take a look at your
surroundings. Duplicate it."

You could slow this down, you see. You say, "Take a look at
your surroundings. Get a duplicate of it." Follow it right
up immediately with what you mean by duplicate. Because you
can use this word duplicate as an easy communication word,
so define it for him.

"All right, take a look at your surroundings. Now get a
duplicate of it. That is to say, get another picture just
like it. Okay, now get another picture just like the first
one. And another one. Duplicate it again. Another one."
See, you're teaching in English right now, see.

And as you audit, your preclear comes into possession of
immediate and swift command words without any further
argument. You're clever, you see, if you do this. You say
the word you want to use for a communication word and then
you define it in other terms. If your preclear is
extraordinarily stupid, give him the... give him the thing
about six different ways, one right after the other. Don't
even ask for him to ask back; you just keep explaining. And
all of a sudden he looks kind of relieved; you know you've
driven it through. So that would be the next step.

Well, that's not necessarily the best thing to have happen
to somebody who's just been exteriorized. Mind you, if you
told him to look at the body directly, he'd probably pop
right back in. So you don't direct his attention to the
body. But it's perfectly all right to direct his attention
to the surroundings. If he also includes the body in his
surroundings, fine - you're really in there; you're doing
that. Because sooner or later he's going to have to get
mock-ups of his body. Sooner or later. But you just say,
"Duplicate your surroundings. All right." So he does. So
his body gradually, then, takes its beingness in those
surroundings, too.

How many duplicates do you let him run on something like
this? It doesn't matter. I'd say twenty-five, twenty,
something like that. And remember to have him duplicate
nothing. Because you've just asked him to duplicate
something. Well, if you've just asked him to duplicate
something, this is not a perfect communication for a
thetan. And this is the trouble he's having: He's a
nothing, you see, which is trying to communicate with a
something. You'll find out it's with considerable relief,
and considerable communication change by the way, that he
duplicates nothing.

Now, you've said, "Duplicate your surroundings. All right.
Get another picture just like that. All right, and another
one. Another one. Another one. Another one."

He says, "Well, it's all black."

Well, you're wasting your time. Go on to Step III. See? But
as long as he could get a glimmering of anything, you had
him duplicate it. And the second that you had him duplicate
this, you ask him then, "Now, all right, can you find a
nothingness, a nothingness around anyplace, or is a
nothingness something and so forth? Find that nothingness?
Okay, all right. Now get another nothingness just like that
alongside of it. Now make another nothingness right along
side of that. Now duplicate it again. Now duplicate it
again. Now duplicate it again." Until you make him
duplicate nothing several times.

However, if he's protesting and it's all black, then it's
rather senseless to ask him to duplicate nothing. This
would be a silly thing to do. So we go on immediately to
Step III, Space.

You see, we're still following this same old SOP 8 pattern.
You don't have to relearn anything. This is just a fast way
to dive in, and the most effective thing we can do.

All right. Step III. Now, we're quite well aware of the
fact that an individual can hold the two back corners of
the room and pop out of his head and be in good shape.
We're quite well aware of the fact that this can take
place. We know this can take place. An individual who's
pretty badly stuck in his body and so forth will quite
often just flip out on holding the two back corners of the
room. So, actually, we don't dare take that step out of
there. This individual has exteriorized, he hasn't
exteriorized: We still ask him to hold the two back corners
of the room.

By this time you should have discovered whether or not
you're dealing with an occluded or perception-difficulty
case. If you're dealing with an occluded or
perception-difficulty case, you ask him to do this
minimally. You don't ask him to do very much of this. You
see that? So we say, 'All right, hold the two back corners
of the room." He does. We explain how he does that. We let
him sit there for a minute or two. At least a minute, you
know. And I mean a sixty-second minute, not a colloquial
minute. Colloquial time is something we're not using. You
just let him sit there at least sixty seconds. Sometimes
you, as an auditor, might get a little bit impatient. Look
at your watch when you ask somebody to hold the two back
corners of the room. You'll swear he's been holding it for
two hours and he's only been holding it for five minutes.
If you just had him sit there for a long time, you know,
and hold the two back corners of the room, he'd come out of
it, sooner or later, somewhere down the line - I don't
know, eighty hours from now or something. But he'd come out
of it.

But, why do you do this at this time? Well, you just asked
the individual to do a lot of duplication. See, you asked
him to duplicate the surroundings and so forth and you
probably disorientated him a little bit in terms of present
time. So let's do this, if the case exteriorized, just to
pull him back up into present time. See? Now, let's have
him do this also to give him some stability in his
environment for the next horrible thing you are going to do
with him, which is Step IV.

But you're going to do another thing here with Step III
before you let him out of it. Hold the two back corners of
the room - he's going to hold those for at least a minute,
two minutes. You're going to ask him to spot some spots in
space. And you're going to put it this way: "Spot some
spots in space where you are not - for sure." That's always a
good phrase to use. So "Hold the two back corners of the
room. Okay. Let go. Now, let's spot some spots in space
where you're not."

You see, this guy can already spot space. You're not
dealing here with a guy who is completely in the dark. Why?
Because you ran Opening Procedure until he could spot
space. So this is nothing new or strange that you're
asking him to do. But you are asking him to do it with him
in a different situation. He is probably exteriorized.
Fifty percent of the people, when they get to that point,
will be exteriorized. The other fellow will be spotting the
spots in space this time with his eyes closed - because
you'll make sure they're shut. Slight difference. See that?
Spot spots in space.

By the way, you have him let go. When you ask somebody to
hold the two back corners of the room in group processing
or something, have them let go before you continue with
your processing. Got that?

So, what's that step consist of? Well, actually, these are
the two essentials of space: tolerance of space and two
anchor points. And there could be an awful lot more to the
whole field of spacation. And you know a lot more about
spacation than I've just mentioned in Step III. But we're
not going to bother with all this at this time. And we're
not because Step W is probably going to kill the preclear
anyway and you don't want to waste any time.

With Step W we enter into havingness. If you have a
preclear who is having any difficulty in perception, your
preclear is having difficulty in havingness. He's having
difficulty in duplication and in havingness. Well, it
figures out this way: A preclear who's having difficulty
with communication is having difficulty with duplication.
Now get this: He is refusing to duplicate a person. This is
all that's wrong with him. He's refusing to duplicate a
person. And if he's refusing to duplicate a person, it's
probably because he has a havingness problem with that
person; it just works out that way. He's refusing to
duplicate a person and in his opinion this other person
will own everything there is.

Now, I call your attention to Scientology 8-8008 and the
problems relating to ownership and protection. A fellow
starts in protecting something and finally winds up as a
total protection - he owns it. Well, when he loses it - 
after he's gone through this cycle - he, of course, experiences
loss and his perception goes to pieces but gloriously.

So what have we got here? Very interesting that this person
is in a universe of somebody who owns everything. See,
that would be the most powerful universe there was. He is
in the universe that owns anything. In other words, to have
anything, he's got to be in this universe that owns
everything. And that's actually a story with the MEST
universe, isn't it? God owns everything. So he's in this
universe. He doesn't have anything himself; God owns it.

The day you find and bring in a religious person who is not
an occluded case, I will give you a small medal - a medal of
the Sacred Heart... pardon me, the Sacred Engram. The day
you find a very religious person who is not an occluded
person, let me know. God owns everything. 

Therefore, we have our first problem in universes. Why
don't we just tackle universes, then, just head-on. No,
we're going to leave that back with Advanced Course
Procedure. We're still going to leave tackling universes in
the hands of the professional auditor.

But we're just going to change the dickens out of this 8-C
right at that Step W. You see, it hasn't altered much up to
the point of Step IV. Altered a little bit in Opening
Procedure. Got a little bit shorter in Steps I, II and III.
But when we got to Step IV. the world fell in. Step IV,
big change.

There is this which must now take place regardless of who
your preclear is or how well they're exteriorized or
anything else. You're going to take your little E-Meter by
the hand and you're going to find out who owns everything.

The very fact that this individual is sitting in your
auditing chair being audited tells you immediately - whether
they exteriorized, interiorized or anything else; whether
they're occluded, precluded or occulated; it doesn't
matter - if they're sitting in the auditing chair, they're
having a problem in havingness and they're not seeing
things straight when they get outside. bet's just put that
down in the book: If they're in an auditing chair in any
way, shape or form, they're not seeing as well as they
could see. There is a difficulty with this case in
havingness. Because if they're in this universe, they're
having a difficulty with havingness, which at least closed
terminals with this universe.

So let's break down now the aristocracy of the Step I. The
Step I ought to be able to see everything much better than
he sees it and with greater reality than with his MEST
eyes. The MEST eyes, actually, is something like looking at
something with foggy opera glasses. He should be able to
see everything with great clarity and great reality and so
forth. Well, you won't find very many Step I's doing that.

Of course, there is this kind of a phenomenon that sooner
or later you will hit in somebody, someplace, where you
say, "Be three feet back of your head," and the fellow
immediately goes on exteriorizing on a concatenation from
all available universes and disappears. But this is...
He just exteriorizes into the universes ... from the
universes in proper order and goes away. But we'll take
this case and just sort of put it up there as a school
case. This doesn't happen outside of a lecture.

And recognize that any preclear who's having any difficulty
at all with his case is having a problem in havingness. And
he's having a problem in havingness because he's having a
problem in universes.

Now, there's two kinds of universes that could (quote)
"louse him up" (unquote) - two kinds. One is a universe which
is psychotic. That could foul him up for the good reason
that man never has had a solution for psychosis. So it's
the unsolved problem. He's had a solution for all kinds of
things.

You know he's had a solution for continuing life for a long
time: You knock the body off and get another body. You keep
bodies breeding along the line so that you will have enough
bodies to come back to. That's solved!

But insanity - no. A guy could get so unreasonable that at
length he wouldn't have enough sense to keep the body-line
going, and he'd try to just knock off everything or bust it
all up somehow or another or be crazy in some department.
Well, nobody had the solution to that.

Well, we've got a solution to that. So let's look at this
in terms of what universe is he in that's crazy.

Now theoretically, there was just one crazy universe.
Somewhere on the backtrack there was just one crazy
universe, and everybody got scared of it. And that was the
universe they mustn't get into. There was probably a game
somewhere on the backtrack that was called "Me and thee and
the rest of us guys must not get into that universe over
there that we will call The Crazy Universe, because it has
erratic motions in it. Therefore, we know it's a crazy
universe and we mustn't get in that universe." It was a
game - something like hare and hounds or something.

There probably just was one and people have been knocking
back and forth in and out of it ever since, you see.
They've been patterning the pattern, the pattern, the
pattern - because any psycho that you picked up is psycho
because he's having trouble with a crazy universe.

Let's say you got a psycho - a thetan who is real psycho -
and you ran this process on him, you got him out of a crazy
universe, and you went and found the person whose universe
you got him out of; you see, you'd find that you would run
him to get him out of a crazy universe. And whose universe
did you get him out of? Well, that's Bill's crazy universe.
Now, if you went and found Bill, you would exteriorize Bill
from a crazy universe. And you'd probably go all the way
back down the track and find out there was probably only
one crazy universe. Okay.

TBD

So that's one problem - the Crazy Universe - what your little
E-Meter's going to find out for you. It's just going to sit
there and it's going to find that out right away. And I'm
not going to ask you to put in eighty-five thousand hours
on this without an E-Meter because, why? It's too easy.

So let's just put the electrode in the preclear's hand and
make him compress it several times so as to get him over
convulsions, and set the sensitivity needle so that you
can read any dip he has with fair reasonability. And let's
just sit there then and read off at him - "Well, let's see
now," you'll say. Now, would it be tactful to say "crazy
universe"? No. "Who is crazy in your family?" I could just
see you now sitting there, large streams of preclears. They
walk in, you go all the way through the steps, hit Step IV;
they get up and pick up their hat. Next preclear comes in,
you run it all the way through the steps, hit Step IV; he
picks up his hat and leaves. Next preclear comes... I can
just see this at this point, and it's not a pretty picture.
So let's take the other kind of a universe. (We're going to
remember though that that's what we're going to do with
this guy.) And we're going to take the other kind of a
universe. That's the universe that owned everything. This
universe was another kind of a universe that probably got
there the same way that this crazy universe got there, but
there must have been a universe where you couldn't have
anything, somewhere on the track. There must have been this
universe where you couldn't have anything. But we're not
even interested in that universe. We're interested in the
universe that had to have everything.

And let's look deep into the past of the preclear this
wise. Let's just ask this horrible question: "Who owns
everything?"

Now, at this time we're going to have available to us a
list of the personnel in this case. Obviously, this fellow
is in a body so there was a papa and a mama. See? But who
else was there in his family?

Well, let's just take off a list. And let's just ask him to
name the people he has been associated with since birth.
Take a little piece of paper and write them all down if you
want to. But he's holding the electrode while he's doing
this. See, we get real covert. He's holding the electrode
and you ask him to name all the people he's been associated 
with since birth. Now, we're going to write down all of that 
and we're going to make a list of these people with the small 
or none, great or medium reaction. In other words, we're just 
going to check off each one of these things until we hit 
somebody we can four-star. You know? And they said, "Well, 
and then there's Papa." You know, and it falls fifteen dials. 
Up to this time it hasn't quivered. Well, we're going to sneak 
up on him like this.

We know, then, the problem with universes-the problem of
havingness-is with Papa. Just like that. We're going to
take people on that list, more or less in the order of dip.
That one who dipped the mostest, we're going to take the
firstest. We might as well cut him to pieces, serve him up
on toast. We might as well, right there.

We're only going to ask him one question about any of these
people, and we're going to ask that question over and over
and over and over and over. We're not going to worry about
much exteriorizing him from those universes; we're not
really concentrating on that. We're going to ask him this
question. We've gotten the list now; we put him on an
E-Meter when we got to Step IV.

See? By the way, just to get you in sequence: Two back
corners of the room; he held those. You said let go. "Give
me some spots in space where you're not." He spotted a few.
You put him on the E-Meter, just like that, and you said,
"Give me a list of the people you've been associated with
since birth." And you started writing them all down. And as
he went down the line, you maybe had to fish for one. The
one that's most significant is probably the last one that
will come up. So you want to get that list fairly
complete, and you've noted the reaction. Now, this is in
the essence of saving time. You're making him do an
assessment and you're watching that meter react.

All right. Now, you've got that down the line and we've
gotten down there to where the four-star character was...
Well, let's say the most average one you'll find will be
Papa or Mama. Whichever one dipped the most or whichever
one you picked out of the big dips that you got... Maybe
you got a dip on everybody. So what? So everybody's tangled
up. You ask him just this question - you got that list and
then you said to him, 'All right, now give me some things
which Father" - the biggest dip you got - "doesn't own."

And I don't care if that preclear sits there totally blank
and half spun-in for a half an hour without answering you.
The whole period he's trying. He's trying to answer you; he
isn't in a boil-off. You've just hit to the center of the
longest comm lag on his case. So expect it to happen at
that moment. And don't you give up on Papa until you've got
something! Now, once having committed yourself to battle
in this particular instance, let's don't quit until we've
gotten what we started after, because you can get an
answer. You took the biggest dip on the dial and you
said - this was Papa's dip, see, or this was Mama's dip, or
this was Aunt Agnes's dip or anybody's dip; this was the
biggest one you got - and you said, after you finished off
all of this assessment, you said, 'All right, now give me
some things (name some things) (just list some things) that
(whoever was the biggest dip) doesn't own." "Give me some
things that Papa doesn't own."

Now, quite customarily you will only have a minute or two
lag on your first question. It'll be a rather brief lag.
But don't be amazed if you have a half an hour lag. You've
said the question and he answers a half an hour later.
Don't start hounding him. Because, boy, this preclear went
blanker than anything you ever heard of. He looks all over
the whole goddamn universe - all through his own possessions, 
every place he could possibly think of - and he can't find 
one thing that Papa doesn't own. Why? Because the viewpoint 
is the god of the universe he's in, and the viewpoint of 
the universe he's in owns everything in the universe. There's 
no further significance to it than this. It's a basic law. 
Don't think that it's just because his father had a Germanic 
complex of it was his house and his car and so forth. Don't 
think that this is necessarily significant at all. It isn't. 
The universe he's in, of course, is owned by the viewpoint 
of that universe. There wouldn't be any universe there, you 
see, if it wasn't for the fact there was a viewpoint there -
space is a viewpoint of dimension.

So we just ask him that question and we sail on down the
line. And now when we've finally gotten an answer, whether
it came shortly, immediately or otherwise, we ask him for
some more things that this person doesn't own. We never ask
him for things which this person does own. We only ask for
things this person does not own. Because that's the truth
of the case. Papa probably doesn't even own his own head,
as a thetan. You see?

Well, it defies all rationality. Every rationality you
could think of is defied by this particular process. It
just is not rational; it's not reasonable.

Now, your preclear may demonstrate another manifestation
entirely in that he will just skim along on the surface of
it hoping he doesn't fall in somehow or another, and sort
of tell you brightly and happily, if a little nervously,
"Well, he doesn't own this building. He doesn't own this
suit I'm in. He doesn't own this. He doesn't own that.
A-na-na-na-na. He doesn't own that. No. No he doesn't own
that."

Hit him in the head. Do something with him. Cave him in.
You want him falling all the way downstairs to right where
the E-Meter said he was. You say, "Give me one thing for
sure that you're absolutely certain that you can be
positive about that your father does not have complete and
full deed of title to. One thing."

What you're liable to get is this first skimmer. See? But
the E-Meter just told you that this guy is eighteen
thousand feet deep without any ladder. And you want him to
fall in. That's the mean trick you're going to do to him.
You're going to grab him by the cuff and down he
goes - eighteen thousand feet deep. Only you're going to give
him a ladder. He's going to have to climb out of it.

Now, after we've worked this for quite a while. Quite a
while - how long? Until the E-Meter is no longer reacting
on Papa. We take up the next one we got a dip on. "Now give
me some things that don't belong to this person - that this
person doesn't own" - next one. You can expect the same thing
all over again.

And remember that the physical universe is owned by a
character named God. And remember also that his body has a
universe, which is not his universe. Recall this while
you're working this and get those two things on that
assessment list. If there's no big reaction on God, don't
be surprised; there will be after you get all of the allies
run out. God is just so far down into apathy that he just
gets no reaction. Needle doesn't even stick; he takes this
as a matter of course. All right. So remember that his own
body and God are on that list in addition to everybody else
he said, and you had to mention these. Now, how did you
mention these? You wanted the people he's been associated
with since birth. Get this. You didn't ask him anything
about ownership, protection. You didn't start the wheels
and cogs turning in this skull, did you? You just asked
him, "Give me the people you've been associated with since
birth."

And then you kind of add in when he's given you everybody
he could think of and you've got the reaction, you sort of
add in, you say, "Well, and of course there's God you've
been associated with." Well, if it goes clong, why, put
that down as a big reaction. But don't run it first. You'll
be in trouble. That's too much for the preclear to take if
he really gets a deep reaction right off on God. But
remember to put it on the list; remember to run it.

And the other one is, "Well, amongst the people you've been
associated with since birth is your body. How about that?
You've been associated with that since birth." The fellow
says, "Oh, yes, yes, yes." Or he may say yes fifteen dials
worth.

But those two things you would not ordinarily run first.
You see that? You ordinarily would not run God or the body
first, but they must be on the assessment list.

All right. So you just exteriorize him from these universes
on that basis.

Now, when you've done all that and you've figured all that
out one way or the other - you've got that list, and you've
run this sort of thing - you probably will learn, without
any further asking, who had the crazy universe. See?
Somebody did. But if you haven't learned that by this time,
then you ask. Because by this time your preclear's in good
enough condition... he's in good enough shape so that you
can communicate with him. You've gotten a few of these
universes off the comm line. You just ask him, "Well, now,
was anybody... were you ever around anybody that you
objected to their being so crazy? Around anybody that was
sort of crazy?"

Well, the funny part of it is, it will probably sneak up on
the line; it may have been his grandfather or, you know, it
may have been somebody he won't think of right off the bat.
He may tell you two or three people or four or five people
before he gets around to this other one. Or he may tell you
right away. But again you're just looking for heavy charge.
That's all you're looking for.

Now, you simply ask the same question all over again. You
just keep on with the same process, in other words. You
just made sure that you had that crazy person on there.

Because now there's two universes you're trying to get out,
two types of universe you're trying to get off this
preclear. Number one, he can't have anything because it
all belongs to somebody else. And the other one is he can't
be sane because he's in a crazy universe.

Now, we're not saying your preclear is crazy. Anybody who
has been around a psycho knows it's a strain. All right. So
that's enough for that step, isn't it? Well, boy, is that
an easy step to do. We simply got a hold of the E-Meter,
put him on the E-Meter, said, "Who you been associated with
since birth? Oh, you been associated... That's that one...
Oh, ye....,, And so on and so on and so on - you just took a
list of these people.

And then you remembered to put on the list his body and God
on the universe list, and you asked him about those. And
then you went straight in. All right, and you took the
biggest dip that you got - unless it was body or God; you
left those alone - and took the biggest dip that you got and
you said, "Now give me some things that don't belong to
(whoever got the biggest dip on there)," see, and you just
ran that out. In other words, it's a lot of Straightwire
actually.

And there's this little modification. When he starts saying
so-and-so and so-and-so and so-and-so-you know, objects,
items, so forth; he's getting more and more sure - you say,
"Spot their location in the physical universe." Every time
he calls off a jug, a pump, a house - anything like this -
you say, "Spot their location now in the physical universe."
You don't hound him about it. But let's get two processes
going here at once. Otherwise you're wasting a lot of time.
See? I mean, you might as well have these two processes
going at once. And that was all you did to do this. Got it?

Now, we get to V, don't we? Only do we?

Male voice: Do we?

Nope. SOP 8-D only has four steps. That's a dirty trick,
isn't it? Here you're all set to learn all sorts of things.
Well, what did you do after you did all these things? Well,
you had him go back, of course, and run Step I again. Well,
what's Step I consist of? Well, he's already out of his
head. Well, that's fine. So he's exteriorized. Then you ran
Step II. And what's Step II consist of? That's just
duplication of the environment and duplication of nothing.
Well, that certainly isn't very much to run. Then you ask
him to hold the two back corners of the room. And then find
some places where he was not. Then you wanted to know who
owned everything. Well, that certainly isn't getting
anybody up very far. That certainly isn't doing very much
for a case, is it? All you do is exteriorize him and bring
him up to Theta Clear with no trouble. But that's not
anywhere near good enough.

Now, actually - all joking aside - the reason we're running
this particular process this way, and so on, is mostly
because it works in a very rapid progress in this fashion.
It works fairly rapidly as a precursor to SOP 8-O. And this
is the one that you dub right in ahead of SOP 8-O if you're
just going on for broke.

[Ed note: SOP 8-O, also known as SOP 8-OT is the technique
that was taught on the 3rd ACC]

What we're watching here is a slight, condensation of data.
In other words, we're just bringing a lot of data that
we've been using sort of gunshot. On a reevaluation, we
find out some of these things are more important than
others, and so we're just going right on up through to 8-O.

Well, you say, what happens here to "places where things
are safe"? Well, 8-D is a complete tool in itself - it's a
complete tool in itself - based on this: The reason a person
does not get mock-ups - now, this, by the way, is not a
theory; this is an observed clinical fact - the reason a
person does not get mock-ups, does not get perceptions, and
so forth, is his ownership is upset. If you can convince
somebody that he doesn't own something and then ask
him - just take somebody who can get good visios of
everything - and we sell him a real bill of goods on the fact
that he doesn't own something, we tell him to get a mock-up
of it, he won't be able to do it. If we can convince
somebody he doesn't own anything, he won't get any
mock-ups at all. This is why loss brings about occlusion.
And so an enormous number of loose ends suddenly tie up on
this point.

The mock-up, the facsimile and perception thereof become
related immediately to the ability to have. A person who
has lost too many things too many times has great
occlusion. Why are all a person's past lives occluded?
Well, he doesn't have them anymore, that's all. He's gone.
They're all gone, everything about them's gone. He knows
now that he can't have them. He doesn't own them, he can't
own them. So, by golly, he'd be stretched even to get a
mock-up of them in a lot of cases.

All right. Now, let's take a look at this and just compare
together. Having established that fact - and as I have
worked out a method of running this ownership in terms of
an E-Meter in order to get a separation, and find out that
you get these fantastic changes in a case with this, we had
better make a whole process out of it giving its proper
lead-in. Because I am just a little bit leery of doing this
trick: of suddenly giving you a talk all about ownership
and how the fellow can't own anything, he can't get a
mock-up of it if he's lost something, and that's a universe
problem, and whatever is in the universe belongs to the
viewpoint of the universe, the fellow doesn't own any...
Instead of giving you this, no, let's take this from an
entirely different angle and let's give you a complete
package which can stand all by itself And we call this
package SOP 8-D and we make it a terribly simple package.
This package will work on any case. Anybody you process is
having the same problems.

Then we can swing on in to 8-O. Or we could go over into
just what we've been calling Advanced Course Procedure. And
wherever we've said Step I - wherever we've said "Run Step I,
SOP 8-C," you would just say, "Run SOP 8-D." And where it
says, "Run SOP 8-C complete," you just say, "Run SOP 8-D
complete. And then 8-O." In other words, you are being left
with a judgment of the matter, and you have many things to run.

Now, some of these things will get you there rapidly, some
of these things will get you there slowly. This one will
get you there rapidly. A lot of cases sitting around that
are still fogged up. They're not anywhere near as fogged up
as they were, but they're still foggy enough to make them
very, very interested in what's being put out. Well, let
them try this one on for size. Because I've been developing
it for quite some little time and testing it, privately and
quietly. And I've been waiting for somebody to blow up
under the stress of it, and nobody's blown up yet. But
their cases blow up instead. They get their sonic and
visio. And that, after all, is the open sesame. So we're
making Book One good. How do you run this stuff? Remember,
a two-way communication system is the essential on the
thing. We run an Opening Procedure on 8-D by having a spot... 
having the fellow locate spots in space in the room
with his fingers, with his MEST eyes, till he can tolerate
space. Then we ask him to be three feet back of his
head - whether he is or isn't, we don't care, one way or the
other. We swing in on Step II: we ask him to duplicate his
environment and duplicate a nothingness. And we swing in on
a Step III: he holds the two back corners of the room; he
lets go; he spots spots in space where he is not. We swing
into IV: we ask him who owns everything, with an E-Meter.
And as he's spotting these things that everybody owns, we
make him spot them in space.

And what do we do after we've done this for a little while
or the individual seems to be bogging? We go right back to
that Opening Procedure of 8-D: Have him, in the room, spot
some spots in space. See that? The individual just looks
like he's going to fall out the bottom of the chair. He
just can't go any further. He's just so doggone weak. He's
so wobbly. He just protests he can t run any further. Then
we just go back to Opening Procedure of 8-D, which is
locate some spots in space, that's all.

There's no sense in trying to remedy the havingness on a
case which can t have anything until you've remedied the
fact that he can't have anything. And wherever you have a
case seriously hung up, it is a case that can't have
anything. Because havingness all by itself; run on the
fellow in avalanches, would have solved his case.

Well, if that doesn't solve his case, then, the next
obvious step is that he can t have anything. So let's look
this over and see if it's true. Let's find out if this
individual can own anything, and we find out he can't own
anything. If he can't get mock-ups, we find also,
coincidently, he can't own anything. If he hasn't any sonic
or visio, if he doesn't have good perception, we find also
that he can't own anything. We find that he has a past
history of being in universes which owned everything.

We'll find incidents on such a case where we take God's
universe and so forth, and when he was two, three, four
years old, people coming along and saying, "God created
everything." And he gives them a real sullen glare. Of
course, this was too long ago and too high-toned a reaction
for him to encompass this late. He's probably forgotten
he's done that. But sure enough, there was a point there.
God owned everything. Somebody would come along and say,
"Well, God created everything in seven days, in six days
and had his lunch." And you... and the fellow will say...
as a little kid, a little kid - he's not goofy yet - and 
he'll say, "Mmmm, doesn't seem logical to me." Some kind 
of a protest, immediately. Who created everything? As far 
as his viewpoint's concerned, he did.

And you have just run the trick on him of third-partying
himself. See what you've done to him? You've come along and
you have forced him to believe that he is across the
street while he's standing right in front of you. See,
you've third-partied him. And eventually you'll get him in
an auditing chair and he'll say, "Yes, I'm exteriorized.
I'm over there." "I'm over there!" How can anybody be over
there? He can't. Well, you've just said God created the
universe, which means, "When you created the universe, you
were over there," which means, "You are over there." So he
gets very confused.

So much for 8-D. Try it out. It's a good process.
