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

cassettes.


SOP 8-D: LECTURE

A lecture given on 16 April 1954


This is a lecture on the subject of 8-D. It's a relatively
simple technique. It's a technique which is used on any
case. But it, of course, does not supplant the knowledge
which an auditor has of cases. It doesn't supplant processes 
for emergency assists. It doesn't supplant your general 
knowledge of communications. It certainly doesn't supplant 
Advanced Course Procedure. It is a relatively simple process. 
Where you would find this process of the greatest use is 
that case with which you're having the greatest difficulty.
You could exteriorize anybody, whether a Step I or a Step XII 
with this process. But, again, any preclear you have is having 
some of the trouble which is solved by this process. So we 
look at this, then, as something an auditor can use with comfort,
which will exteriorize an individul. Now, we don't say in
how many hours it'll exteriorize an individual. It'll
exteriorize him in as many hours as his case is difficult.
Of course, a Step I - it'll exteriorize a Step I immediately.

A Step I really is better run on Advanced Course Procedure
than on 8-D. A Step I is very, very easy to run, and the
essence of a Step I is that you should get him into
circulation as soon as possible. Get him into a Grand Tour
and Change of Space and so forth. If he's exteriorized with
certainty, don't fool around very much in the early stages.
Just get him out and give him a Grand Tour and give him
some Change of Space and remedy his havingness and pat him
on the head and say, "That's fine." Now, if you want to
push him up any further, however, you will have to address
the problems of ownership and universes.

So on a Step I, really, you'd use this late. You'd use 8-D
late in the case, really. And on a Step V you'd use it
right off the bat. It doesn't mean that you couldn't run
this just on a Step I just as given, but I just say there
are faster ways of doing a Step I than 8-D.

All right. Let's take a look at 8-D. What is it? It is a
collection of processes, each one of which have been found
to facilitate exteriorization and balance up the case of a
preclear. Each one of these processes is itself unlimited,
and being an unlimited process, 8-D, of course, could be
run over and over and over. But I give you this admonition:
8-D should be run over and over and over as 8-D.

There are two processes. If you're going to start running
8-D, you run it over and over and over as 8-D. Now, there
are two processes contained in 8-D which we're going to
describe here at a little more length. We call these
processes Universe Processing, and the other process is
Ownership Processing. These are two processes. These
processes snap universes apart. Ownership Processing snaps
a lower level of universe on a case that is having a more
difficult time.

The two processes can be used in conjunction or they can be
used separately. But they are never used - and please,
please establish this fairly well - they are never used,
under any circumstances, all by themselves.

We should use any type of process which balances the case
between these two things. One, practically spinning in, and
the other, present time.

Now, you'll find a case being run on a very rough process,
extremely rough process, has a tendency to bog on you. That
doesn't mean that you should run away from every bog. Of
course, the individual will bog. It doesn't mean that you
should go on your way and forget about the case if it's
practically spinning. But a case, you know, can get into a
situation where it's just impossible to run any further. So
it's time for you to lighten it up a little bit. You see
that? And then there's cases that you can run so lightly,
that you don't push in at all, that they're really not
getting much benefit out of what you're processing.

So neither one of these processes such as Universe
Processing or Ownership Processing are used individually.
They are used, actually, in company with this pattern 8-D.
That's to keep the case from bogging.

Let's say you've run one of the processes until you got a
quiet needle on an E-Meter. Would you then immediately take
off on some other personnel with Universe Processing? No,
you wouldn't. You would go back to Step... Opening
Procedure of 8-D, and you'd go right on through with the
new personnel.

But let's, then, realize that this is a package process
which is in itself designed to keep a case fairly well in
contact with present time, and at the same time take out of
the case itself its heaviest identifications.

The first step of 8-D is a very simple step, but it should
be run very precisely. There's a great deal of technology
back of this first step. There's a great deal of technology
back of any one of these steps; and that's why they're run
simply.

You have the preclear there in the auditing room with you.
You ask him to move around the room - that's his body, you
see - move around the room and locate spots in space, spot
them, put his finger on them, designate them, spots in
space. And you have him locate spots in space with great
precision until he's able to do this.

You'll discover that preclear who's having a great deal of
difficulty will locate the spot in space and then slide off
suddenly, swish, onto an object. He may only be able to
hold the spot in space three or four seconds. And if an
auditor were doing Opening Procedure with great rapidity
and missed the fact that the fellow can spot the spot in
space all right, but his attention immediately went over
onto a solid object, swish. The motto of all solid objects
is "stick together" or "come to me." And as a result his
attention is compelled over onto solid objects out of any
empty space he looks at. This idea of not being able to
look at empty space is very significant in a case. An
individual who is unable to look at space, of course, is
unable to have space.

So let's look at this Opening Procedure, then, as a method
whereby the auditor can see whether or not the preclear is
running what he's asking him to run, a method whereby the
auditor can change the preclear in space enough times so
that the preclear will follow his auditing commands, a
process whereby the preclear can get over his nervousness
about the auditor. This will save you as much as eight or
nine hours on the beginning of a case, so it's well
worthwhile doing this.

You could do this for two minutes or two hours. After
you've done it once or twice with a preclear, as you run
down 8-D, you will discover that you don't have to do it as
long. But, again, you should do it every time you start
through 8-D again - Opening Procedure. You should at least
take a pass at it. It's not as important later on in
auditing sessions, which is why we're calling it Opening
Procedure on it, because right at the beginning this is the
one you stress regardless of what case there is.

Now, let me tell you this: there are several cases around
which have started to go upgrade on Opening Procedure of
8-C and Opening Procedure of 8-D. They're practically the
same except Opening Procedure of 8-D specializes on space.
There are several cases which have started to go upgrade,
and the second they really start to get the fee] of this
the auditor has switched off onto other processes. He's
done this too fast, he's done it too soon.

The truth of the matter is these cases are actually so bad
off that nothing will work on them in terms of process but
Opening Procedure. If Opening Procedure were run on these
cases for five, six or seven hours, thirty or forty hours
of processing would be saved.

In other words, these cases are pretty bad off and the
auditor errs when he thinks that, well, we run Opening
Procedure so we can get into something hot in the case.
Well, this case is in so much hot material right away that
the safest course would be to run Opening Procedure and
call that the process. Just run it. Say "We are processing
him." The auditor has a tendency, you see, to say, "Well,
Opening Procedure - that's how we get around to doing some
auditing." And he quits Opening Procedure before the case
is open. Opening Procedure should be run until the case is
open, accessible and in good communication with the auditor.

Some day you will see a preclear's case - maybe even a Step
VII, SOP-8 - type preclear - case just break to smithereens 
on Opening Procedure. It is a process and a valuable process.
In the first place, the preclear cannot fool the auditor.
And in lower level preclears the only reason auditing
doesn't bite them is because they're not doing what the
auditor says.

Opening Procedure is a sure cure of this. You have the
individual move around the room and find spots in space and
actually pinpoint them with his finger after he's spotted
them - nail them down you might say. And you just have him do
this spot after spot after spot after spot.

Yes, he's going to go through a strata called boredom. I
have seen preclears start to scream when asked to do this
twenty or thirty times. You'd expect them to get down and
pound the floor. Well, that's what's wrong with them; they
don't dare go on doing anything, because this emotion which
you're observing as the auditor is what turns on the second
they start to do anything in life. You see, you just turned
it on artificially in an auditing session.

How did you turn it on? You asked him to do the same thing
with very slight variation over and over and over, and all
of a sudden the fellow said, "Nyeeh! I can't do that
another time." Well, what he's done in life: He gets a job,
and he goes to work the first morning. He goes to work the
second morning. Third morning, he can't quite tolerate the
idea of going to work. Fourth morning he quits.

He starts to pick up a brush and a canvas; he's going to do
a painting. Once he had a little skill as a painter. He
picks up the brush and canvas, he makes three marks, four
marks; he runs up against that very emotion that you're
seeing running in the auditing room. And he lays it down,
he quits it and there sits that canvas for the next year or
so. But he means to get around and do something about it.

He can't tolerate a duplication, which means he can't
tolerate communication, because communication is, in
essence, duplication. Its graph is cause across a distance
to effect. And a perfect communication is a duplication at
effect of what was put into the line at cause. Now, that's
a perfect communication. So duplication is an integral
part of it. So you ask somebody to do something over and
over and over - if he's having communication difficulty he
just feels like screaming. Life, you see, won't let him
duplicate.

All right. So Opening Procedure of 8-D is quite important.
It should be run well, and it should be run as long as it
has to be run. And that's a case for auditor judgment. I
would run it until I found the preclear easy to run - not
dodging, not dipping away, not arguing. I would just run it
until it was easy to run.

Oh sure, you let the preclear scream and protest and slam
around and say, "Well, I can't do that again," and so
forth. Ask him to do it again, quietly, persuasively. Next
thing you know, he'll have cracked through, you might say,
the barrier of boredom. Boredom is actually occasioned by
an individual having had all the goals of existence
blocked by barriers. Every time he started to do something
a barrier has been erected in front of him, so that every
time ... eventually he gets to a point where every time
he tries to do something he expects a barrier to be there.

Okay, let's go to the Step I of 8-D. We find this an
extremely simple step. You ask the pre clear to be three
feet back of his head. That's all there is to Step I. There
is nothing more to it. That's all there is. Yet this is the
complete condensation of enough technology, actually, to
fill several Encyclopaedia Britannicas, because actually
that action has filled several Encyclopaedia Britannicas
already. The Encyclopaedia Britannica itself is written
because people can't be three feet back of their head. Now,
we look at this. You realize any time an individual says,
"I feel. I'm trapped. I feel I'm caught. I feel I can't be
mobile in life. I feel I'm pushed into this pattern, or I
can't change my mind about things." Anything he's saying
like that, he's saying "I'm trapped." He's afraid of going
to hell. Why is he afraid of going to hell? Well, quite
simply, afraid of going to hell for the good and adequate
reason that hell is a place where he'll be trapped. People
are equally afraid of going to heaven, if our boys on the
back track who invented religion only knew it. They're
equally afraid of going to heaven. Being stuck on a cloud
for eternity? How unthinkably horrible. In other words,
they have two horrors, of which two, hell is probably the
more interesting. At least there's sensation in it.

Now, where does your preclear shy off? Any time he thinks
he will be trapped, or put in an unalterable position he
will shy away. Let's take the curve of existence, and we
find out that it starts with create, goes through survive
and finishes with destroy. Create, survive, destroy - that's
the cycle of action of the MEST universe. Things go,
actually, from a nothingness before creation to creation,
through survival to destruction.

Well, an individual who goes further and further away from
creation, in terms of just not liking it ... You know, he
doesn't like other people creating things all the time, and
he finds that when he creates things it's tiresome. He goes
away from creation, and he will at the same time go away
from destruction. In other words, instead of running the
curve from create through survive to destroy he's actually
on the total curve all the time.

Now, he starts backing off from creating things; he also
starts backing off from destroying things. He's running
just that much less of a curve. Now he backs away more from
creating and more from destroying and more from creating
and more from destroying, and on this curve - which you could
envision as a hump with survive at the top of it - he
finally finds himself parked up there at the top. And that
is survive, persist, go on forever and ever and ever as the
same form in the same place. That's the reductio ad
absurdurn of all survival - same form, same place,
persisting forever. It becomes an intolerable thought to
the preclear.

In essence, in auditing you're just trying to cure him of
the intolerances which have finally parked him on the hump
of this curve. You're trying to get him to a point where he
isn't quite as frightened of persisting forever in one
spot. And if you can... you can actually test a case to
find out whether or not it is progressing at all - is "Can 
it better now tolerate detestable viewpoints?"

As an individual begins to shy away from other people, he
is of course getting away from other viewpoints. He's
getting away from other beings. He's being more and more
himself. He finally winds up as the "only one." That's a
complex - the "only one." He's the only one that can do it,
he's the only one that can have it, he's the only one that
exists. And he'll finally wind up the whole... Everything
is illusion and there are no other viewpoints but the one
which is where? Right in the center of his head.

The first edge into this, of course, is any entrapment.
Now, an individual in the first place does not happen to be
a body. There are several discoveries along the line, but
probably the greatest single discovery in Scientology was
the fact that an individual, the beingness, the
personality, anything that you really consider to be the
"I," whether you call it id or skid, doesn't matter. But
the "I" of the individual was an energy production unit
which could have any position in space, but which wasn't
really in space.

An individual is an energy production unit. Out of this we
get the mythology, the legends, anything that you want
that has to do with spirits, with ghosts, so forth. People
talk about these things, and so on. Science today knows
there's no such thing as a ghost. It knows there's no such
thing as a ghost.

You see what it did is it makes this concept of the energy
production unit ridiculous, and says that this ridiclous
concept doesn't exist - you know, ghosts, clanking chains,
haunts houses. The truth of the matter is, man is not a
body. This is a very easy thing to demonstrate, extremely
easy to demonstrate.

How is it easy to demonstrate? You take somebody who's not
very bad off - who's, let's say, what we call a Step I - you
tell this individual, "Be three feet back of your head."
This person would be in pretty good shape, see. This person
is very sick. All the wonders of medicine have been able to
do nothing for this person, see. The person is sick. You
say, "Be three feet back of your head. Is there anything
you'd like to patch up about the body? Oh, there is. The
body's sick. All right, well patch it up." It's patched up.
He's well the next day.

A couple of thousand years ago some boys came in here on
this planet and did some miracles. And for a couple of
thousand years everybody's been trying madly to repeat
these miracles. Well, you as a Scientologist can repeat
these miracles - on an infinitely greater number of cases
than they were done on originally. How many miracles do you
hear of?

Well, the percentage is terrible, just terrible. I mean,
it's what? - half of one percent. You got a hundred sick
people out here and one of them, why, we almost do a
miracle on him. You got a couple of hundred people and we
get one miracle. Actuarially, that's a very low figure.

You can do miracles on 50 percent of the people you meet
which are of the same caliber. How would you do these?
About 50 percent of the people you'd meet you'd say, "Be
three feet back of your head. Give me some places where
you're not. Duplicate a couple of things. Let's get
stabilized a little bit better. All right, now let's mock
up your body. Now duplicate it several times," till the
fellow is used to looking at his body. And now you say,
"All right, is there anything you'd like to fix up about
your body?"

"Oh, I have some pinched nerves and a crippled foot, and
this and that." Zing, zing, zing, boom - you've done the 
miracle.

If you have been not entirely aware of why you were
studying Scientology, it is this which is as good a thing
as anything else you'll ever run into.

Man, in all of his universities, in all of his churches,
his seminaries and so forth, has been studying to try to
find how miracles were done. And you're sitting right there
learning how a miracle is done. I mean, it's just as simple
as this. If you were only able to produce miracles on 25
percent of the cases you applied Scientology to. In other
words, if you were just to take the strata of the society
at large and you were only able to benefit even slightly 25
percent of them, you would have come closer at this moment
to achieving the final product that they had a couple of
thousand years ago than any man has in two thousand years.
So that's a good reason to study it, isn't it?

All right, let's look at this process, then, and recognize
this process for what it is - a miracle production process.
Now, we've worked harder and harder and harder to try to
run up the averages. You know? I mean, what's the average
percentage of the auditor? How many more cases could he
get? Well, we've been shooting for 100. This is an extreme
and an illogical thing for us to do. We could be perfectly
content with 2 percent, because by golly that's two more
than medicine, psychiatry or witch doctoring accomplished,
in terms of a real full-blown miracle.

Little girl here the other day - a couple of the boys were
running a little child... crippled child charity project.
And a couple of boys located this kid, and this child had
had polio. And its grandparents had taken it and given it a
bunch of rubdowns - the Kenny treatment - and had actually
gotten the child over polio without the child's parents
knowing much about it. The child's parents were not too
interested in the child. However, polio had left the child
very deaf. The child still could hear. So they went to a
doctor, a medical doctor, and the medical doctor said,
"Well, the deafness of the child is undoubtedly caused by
adenoids and tonsils." So the child was operated on for the
adenoids and tonsils and, of course, emerged from that
operation totally deaf. The child was totally deaf for
many years.

A couple of Scientologists, been through this Advanced
Course, two very good auditors - they pick up this kid,
process this kid for a few hours. Kid goes home, tells
Grandma - they're in the living room - "Grandma, your pot's
boiling over in the kitchen." Grandma says, "Oh, it is?"
you know, and goes on into the kitchen, gets halfway across
the kitchen floor... "She can hear!" Miracle. All right.
That is relatively routine. They just picked a kid who had
something wrong with him and they produced the results.
This wasn't eighty-nine kids they processed of which one
got well. No, this was just a case which got well, that's all.

Now, this whole business of entrapment is a central subject
about this universe. Entrapment. This energy production
unit, that the individual really is, could be called and
has been called his soul, his spirit, his this and that.
But it's not really his anything; it's him. That is the
slightly detached viewpoint which people had of this thing.
See, it wasn't his anything. He couldn't ever have made the
remark, "I'm over there." You see, "I'm over there" - no, no,
no. Because anywhere he is is here.

Well, an individual can be caught, trapped. He can be
caught very thoroughly by life. The police dramatize this.
One of the worst things they can do to an individual is not
to kill him, but throw him in jail, trap him. This
universe is, you might say, a trap and so on. Well, the
whole subject of the trap is an energy production unit
which can get caught in a mass, in a space, and then can't
get out. And that's the definition of a trap. It's
something in something it can't get out of.

Now, an individual thinks he's a body, he thinks he is not
an energy production unit. He thinks in terms of "My soul
is somewhere" - probably in his hip pocket, who knows - only
because he is in a trap called the body. Now,the body is
more than a trap; it's a useful unit. It can be used as a
puppet, marionette. It can be made to do many things. It's
cute. It can be dressed. It talks, it hears - if the thetan,
if the individual, wants it to talk and hear But the body
is very subject - very, very, very subject - to the impulses 
of this energy production unit, because this energy production
unit is the only therapeutic source in this entire universe.

Now, where we have everyone's teaching concentrated on this
one fact ("You are a body"), and where we have everyone's
activity more or less concentrated on "This body must
survive" - care of the body, care of the body, care of the
body - we get an entire cult of survival in the society. We
mustn't create anything; we mustn't destroy anything; the
only thing we can do is survive as one being as long as
possible. And this gets so much stress on it that an
individual comes up away from create and destruction up to
a point where he is persisting. And do you know that
persistence itself has very, very little that is ready to
recommend it. Because what is it? It's being in a trap.

Individual is going along, he is unknowing on the subject
of this, mostly because all the energy production he has is
shooting through the body. He's feeling with the body and
so forth, so he thinks, of course, he is the body. This
energy production unit which we call a thetan can be a
body. It can be anything. It can be a stove. It can be a
sky. It can be almost anything, knowingly. It knows what
it's being, and it simply concentrates on being that.

Well, this was the end goal of religion; it was the end
goal of a lot of things. And we get down to this: that the
energy production unit gets convinced that it cannot get
outside of the trap it gets into. And when it gets into the
body as a trap, it's in the body, trap; it's got to feel
everything the body feels; it's got to do everything the
body feels, and it feels that it's going to be dead when
the body's dead because it's being a body. This is not
true. It is not dead when the body is dead. The body dies.
It loses its glutinous, you might say, its gummy ability to
hold on to an individual. And, dead, the individual goes
away. He forgets about it immediately, mostly because
that's an awful lot of loss suddenly. You know, he suddenly
isn't anything.

That's the prime postulate that sticks with him. He's been
thinking he's a body, now the body dies and he isn't
anything. He recognizes this suddenly. And each time he
recognizes this he begins to think of himself, this energy
production unit, as having no personality, and the body as
having all the personality. The body gets the credit for
everything, the body gets all the attention, the body does
all the communication. And all this time this individual,
actually, is the only live thing in the vicinity of the
body. The body is a manufactured vegetable, you might say,
and is alive to that extent.

Well, we get entrapment then. First, the highest level of
it is one gets trapped onto this curve of absolute
necessity to survive as what he is. And having been caught
on that peak of the curve, he can no longer create, he can
no longer destroy. He's very unhappy. He begins to think of
himself as the only one. He'll never have another chance.
He starts plowing through life; life looks awfully grim and
terrible to him.

Fifty percent of the people you run into when you say, "Be
three feet back of your head," suddenly come into
possession of the recognition of what they are. Kids
particularly, maybe 80 percent of kids will do this. Why?
They haven't enough experience in common yet with this body
which they're in to do otherwise. They're still trying to
convince themselves that they are a body.

Now, you've done a miraculous thing here. You've also
solved all the problems of religion. Problems of religion
was how to guide and take care of the human soul which was
undoubtedly bound for hell. Well now, this other is an
unjustified supposition. Any thetan who gets stuck to
things, of course, does not want to get stuck in the molten
center of the Earth. He doesn't want to get stuck there.
That's a bad place to get stuck, he figures. And so it
worries him. And somebody comes along and says, "Hell is
down and it burns forever" - this'll worry him too.

You have just returned into some individuals' hands the
immortality, in this lifetime, which people have been
trying to sell him at great cost, for a price. You just
said, "Be three feet back of your head." A lot of people
you run into - they... "Three feet back of your head" - they,
"What the hell. You know, I'm not a body. Gee, don't I have
to be good or think right thoughts or do something in order
to be exteriorized?" No, it has nothing to do with it. "Be
three feet back of your head" - the fellow is three feet back
of his head.

Of course, he isn't in perfect condition. He's in a state
of unknowingness. He's still attached to the body and
terribly dependent upon it. He's quite upset about life in
general and the responsibilities that he has. But,
nevertheless, you've just put him out on the fringe of the
trap. He can at least stand around the gate and look
inside. That's quite worthwhile isn't it? You've just
cracked another riddle that has more than creaked the
brains of all the philosophers of all time. "What is man?
What is his destiny?" Wrong target.

We could describe the body and the body lines and what are
the destinies of the body lines simply in terms of where
the body lines have been. They've been through an
evolutionary change, so forth. Doesn't have anything to do
with the individual. It's just as significant to trace the
body line of dogs or grass. As far as anything as fine or
anything as therapeutic or anything as beautiful that the
individual can sense, and so forth - you don't study the body
to find out about that. You better study the individual.

Now, where do we have this step limited? Well, it's just
limited to this degree: A lot of the people you say this
to - probably 50 or more percent that you say this to; "Be
three feet back of your head" - some of them, uncertainly,
are able to do it, sense some truth in what they're doing,
and the remainder of them just chunk. They're really
stuck. There's our problem. What happens?

Well, you have to go on down into Step Il - individual
couldn't be. The truth of the matter is if he was three feet
back of his head, actually the best processes to use are
Advanced Course Procedure. You just Grand Tour, and all the
rest of it, and very fast auditing and so forth. That's
really the best thing to do. But let's just assume that we
have to have a process here which is very simple to use and
which won't harm a Step I, which will actually make him
better, and which will make things pretty good in his case
and which it's terribly simple for an auditor to use or
instruct somebody to use on him. Now, there's that little
hooker.

Let's say you're out in Keokuk someplace and there aren't
any professional auditors around there. There are some
bright boys. Well, you could train them up awfully fast to
use these steps.

All right. Step II - "Whatever you see, whatever you're
looking at, duplicate it many times. In other words, get
another one like it, a mock-up just like it, and a mock-up
just like it, a mock-up just like it." See, we don't care
what the fellow's duplicating. Just tell him to be three
feet back of his head, you don't even have to ask him if he
is or isn't.

Your next step is "Whatever you're looking at, duplicate it
many times. Now, find a nothingness and duplicate it many
times." That's all there is to that step.

He will, incidentally, if you kept up this step - he will
eventually as you pass through this step, the many times
you go through this - he will eventually be getting mock-ups
of his body. And he'll be duplicating it many times, you
know? Bodies, bodies, bodies, bodies, bodies. "Well,
whatever you're looking at..." - that's all you ask him. And
the key command is "Whatever you're looking at duplicate
it. In other words, get a mock-up just like it. One, and
then another one just like it. One. You know, one at a
time. Duplicate it." That's the essence of communication.
It'll pick up a person's communication lag. All right.
What's the next thing? Next step? That's all there is to
Step II. Step III has two parts, and the first part is
"Take hold of the two corners..." Two back, upper corners,
by the way, not the front corners - not the front corners.
Ran into somebody who was telling me one day, he says, "You
know, that technique doesn't work at all." I said, "What
are you doing?" "Well, you see I can't hold on to the back
corners, so I always hold on to the front corners.
Technique doesn't work." Of course, it doesn't work.

You get the two upper, back corners of the room. And you
kind of hold on to those - not like getting on a stepladder
and holding on to them, but just sort of sit there. And the
wall that's in back of the preclear, he just holds on to
the two upper corners. He sort of gets the idea of holding
on to them. Actually, he'll get a little visio of them and
so forth. If he does this very often, if he does this very
long, he will eventually get to a point of where they're
quite visible to him and he realizes that before this he
was holding on to a picture of them. One day he really
finds out he's holding on to the back corners. This is
quite a surprising thing.

Now, you don't have to run this process until he has a
complete, clear picture of it, because as you get him along
the line he eventually will have. So we're not... no strain
at this. You ask him to hold on to the two back corners of
the room and don't think. The auditing command is "Hold on
to the two back, upper corners of the room and don't
think." Have him do it for at least a minute. Don't ever do
it for less than a minute; it's of no value.

But you could also have him do it for two hours. And do you
know that a large percentage of your cases, maybe 10, 15
percent of the cases that didn't come out on Step I would
come out the two back corners of the room for a couple of
hours. It has been done for sixty or seventy hours, each
with benefit - each hour passing, greater benefit to the
case. What's it do? It takes the individual's attention off
thinking, off figuring, off worrying and so forth, and it
makes it possible for him to just relax.

But it's much more than this, it permits him to selectively
and actively on his own determinism concentrate his
attention. It isn't... The environment now isn't telling
him "Look here, look there, look over this way, look up,
look down, look back, look front." No, he's saying, "I am
looking at the two back corners of the room." And every
engram, facsimile he has - these things, these pictures,
these image pictures, engrams, facsimiles - can demand,
one after the other, "Look here, look there, do this, do
that, look out, yap," trying to distract his attention as
they come in. He pays no attention to them at all; he
simply holds on to the two back upper corners of the room.

That's the first part of it. The second part of it is now
pick out spots in space where you are not. The auditing
command is "Pick out some spots in space where you are
not." Now, you could do another little change on that. You
could say, "Pick out some spots in the body where you are
not. Now some spots in space where you're not. Now some
spots in the body where you are not. Some spots in space
where you are not." If you did that for about a half an
hour, your boy would exteriorize. That's a murderous
process, by the way. I have seen it done on a preclear,
now, five hours without change or stop - just that one. "Pick
out some spots in the body where you're not. Some spots in
space where you're not. Some spots in the body where you're
not. Some spots in space where you're not. Some spots in
the body where you're not. Some spots in space where you're
not." He is asked each time to get it with certainty. He
has to be certain that he's not there. And an individual
will exteriorize on this. This is another exteriorization
process.

All right. It has two parts then. Step III has two parts.
It's done consecutively to Step II, of course, and it is
followed by Step W You just do those two parts: "Hold on to
the two back corners of the room" (It really doesn't matter
how long you do it. It would be very good if you made him
do it for ten minutes - be very good), and the other one is
"Get some spots in space where you are not." That's the
pure command. I mean, that will settle him all by itself.
And if you really wanted to use it for an exteriorization
technique, as I said you could yank him out of his
body - you'd practically boot him out of his body - "Three
spots in the body where you are not. Three spots in space
where you are not. Three spots in the body where you are
not." That's not necessarily a part of 8-D, it's just a
variation. The two essential parts are "Hold the two back
upper corners of the room," and "Some spots in space where
you are not." And now we go into Step IV.

Step IV is the last and final step of this process. It is
run with an EMeter. It can be run without an E-Meter, but
I wouldn't advise it. It means, oh, four or five times as
much time in processing. Means a lot of wasted time,
running it without an E-Meter.

What do you do then? The preclear sitting alongside the
E-Meter, you put the electrode, the can, in his hand and
you have him press the can about fifteen times, one right
after the other, telling him "Squeeze the can. Let go.
Squeeze the can. Let go. Squeeze the can. Let go." This is
E-Meter technique. "Squeeze the can. Let go. Squeeze the
can. Let go. Squeeze the can. Let go." When he's all
through, about fifteen times, he will no longer
convulsively grip the can. What you've done is get him used
to having that in his hand, and you've actually run out the
convulsive type of engram he might feel there which would
disturb the readings. So you put him on that.

Now you set your E-Meter with the sensitivity, the red knob
of the E-Meter, just high enough so that when he squeezes
the can suddenly and hard, the needle drops one-third of
the E-Meter dial. That's the way you set an E-Meter. That's
all the sensitivity you need or really want in an E-Meter.
Your meter can give you enormously greater sensitivities
than this, but to do this type of assessment you will get
too many readings on a more sensitive reading meter. If
your sensitivity were high you'd just get too many
readings. You'd just get blurred finally. You're only
trying to shoot the moon with this process.

Well, if you wanted to find out whether or not he was lying
or something of the sort, this would also suffice. It would
drop on it all right.

How do you set the E-Meter then? You have the preclear
sitting there and you are looking at the E-Meter dial; he
isn't - it's faced away from him. He doesn't look at the
E-Meter while he's doing this, by the way, because it starts
him fighting the meter. He starts arguing with the meter.
He watches it to fall after he says something and so forth.
So you just face the dial and don't let him face the dial.
All right. When he squeezes the can convulsively and hard
the needle drops one-third of a dial, and that is the
proper set on the sensitivity knob of the E-Meter. Many
people find E-Meters very difficult to use simply because
they set them too sensitively.

All right. Now, after we've done that process, we ask the
individual this: We say, "Tell me the people that you have
been associated with since birth. Just name them off." You
sit there with a pad. Or, if you don't really care to keep
track of it - that is to say, if your memory is very good;
your memory is very good - you just check them off and as he
says this one and that one you put down their relative reads.

He says, "Well, been associated from birth, of course, with
Mother and Father and my great-grandmother, great-grandfather 
and my grandfather and my grandmother."

Well, that's going a little bit too fast. It's also going
too darn fast to... for the meter to register. So a good
way to slow him down is for you to write it down. And he'll
wait for you to write it down, see? That gives you a slow
chance for the facsimiles to come in.

Now, in view of the fact that different sets of facsimiles
are liable to fly in, and that it takes a moment or two for
these mental pictures to fly in (facsimiles) - then we are
presented with a problem that we'd better put a little lag
on the line. So the best way to do it is to sit there with
the E-Meter. That's why the E-Meter is very good for this,
and why taking the notes are very good. So you sit
there - pad - and he says, "Father." And you say... You've
written your preclear's name at the top, John Doe, and you
put down "Father."

Now, don't look at the preclear. The preclear isn't going
to tell you a thing. A face has been educated to lie.
Actually, a man's hands are a more reliable index than his
face. You say, "I wish I could read faces so I would know
whether or not people were lying to me." Huh! You read a
face, you'll know all about lying. A face lies all the
time. You feel like hell and you go down the street with a
bland, passive look on your face, and so forth. A face is
an educated liar, so look at his hands if you have no
E-Meter. And, for heavens sakes, have an E-Meter and look
at the dial. Don't look at the preclear; look at the dial.
Now, you'll check over on this you will very often find
that you have made this rather silly blunder: You've looked
at the preclear. Don't look at him; look at the dial.

He says, "Father," the dial drops. There are three drops
now. There'd be the drop which just made a twitch - very
little, small drop; didn't matter anything. There's the
drop which fell about half of a dial. And then there's the
drop which just goes dial after dial after dial. And don't
think you won't get these occasionally when the
individual - even with the E-Meter turned down on its
sensitivity like that - he says, "Oh, yes. Well, there's
somebody else in the family. I've forgotten who it is.
Somebody else. Hmmrnmm, Aunt uh... Yeah Aunt Isabel. Yes,
Aunt Isabel." Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong. Your needle
starts to fall off the pin. Well, you make an appropriate
code - don't try to write "Big drop" or how many... so on;
just make an appropriate little code of your own or as it
is - opposite "Father, Mother, Grandfather" and so forth.
And watch that dial.

He says, "Father," and he gets a small drop on it. So you
put down your little code letter for a small drop. He says,
"Mother," and he gets just a twitch; nothing bad about it.
And he says "Grandfather," and the needle goes rigid, no
twitch at all. That's the other manifestation.

There are four manifestations we're interested in here. One
is stuck - the needle just sticks suddenly and rigidly. This
means that he is faced with Grandfather. He is in a fixed
position with relationship to Grandfather and there's
resistance there with regard to Grandfather. This'll free
up. That isn't what you run. You don't run that stuck
thing. Later on it'll free up. But you just note the fact
that sooner or later Grandpa is going to show up here and
you're going to have to run him.

All right. We look over this list when we have finished it,
and we find that there are two or three people on it who
got remarkable drops. And we take the biggest drop we got
and we run it, just like that. That's the one we
concentrate on - that person. And we run that person in two
ways. And it doesn't matter too much whether you run
Universe Processing totally, or Ownership Processing
totally. These are two processes. They're very simple
processes. Each one of them consists of just one command,
so it's very easy to run these processes.

It wouldn't matter if you ran... if you ran Ownership
Processing for a couple of minutes and Universe Processing
for a couple of minutes and Ownership Processing for a
couple of minutes and Universe Processing for a couple of
minutes, because all it would mean would be varying your
command. But remember, each one of them has entirely
different manifestations. So on both of them, if you're
using the two of them that way, run them both out, use them
both.

The preclear's still on the E-Meter. You've just got
through making an assessment. You know who it is now. Who
it is what? Whose universe he is enclosed in and is having
trouble with.

Every individual is himself a universe, and individuals get
meshed up in other people's universes. And we have this
physical universe and it gives us a general, agreed-upon
universe. So there are three kinds of universes. There's
the individual's universe, there's the physical universe
and there's other people's universes.

Now, there's a law in here: A universe is subject to the
postulates of the god of the universe. Universe is subject
to the postulates of the god of that universe. In other
words, if you're in Mama's universe you're subject to
Mama's postulates. Where you're subject to Mama's
postulates, you're in Ma-ma's universe. See that?

All right. You know, everybody says, "God put this universe
here, and therefore He's boss and what He says goes." The
physicist, humorously enough, is studying the postulates of
God when he studies nuclear physics. Ohm's law is a
postulate of God. It isn't necessarily your postulate or my
postulate but it's one of God's postulates. But God is an
agreed-upon individual. All right... as far as we can tell.

Now, our main point here in Universe Processing is to get
the preclear out of other people's universes. Why? An
individual is, in essence, able to shift postulates as long
as he's well and happy; he can change his mind. But when he
gets up to the peak of this curve, when he's pushed into
this "he must survive as himself forever," he's in a
position where he can't change postulates. And then he
can't change his mind about things. Life's horrible. He
can't suddenly say to himself "Well, life's all right," and
life would be all right. You see? He can't change his mind.
He's lost his flexibility, his fluidity. He's persisting on
a certain set of postulates.

How does he get into that condition? By getting
interiorized into other universes than his own, where other
postulates are effective upon him. These other postulates
are so effective upon him, each one, that he cannot help
but respond to them. So as he tries to get out of this
morass and mire, he tries to change his mind, he can't
change his mind because he's not god of the universe he's
in. You see that? You have to get him back and
individualized before he can freely change his mind and
make any condition come about which he desires.

So Universe Processing separates him out from these
universes. What is, then, the essence of any universe that
is troubling the preclear? What is the essential essence of
a universe? It survives, it continues to exist, it endures
that's what's the trouble with it. But that's only the
trouble with it if that survival is entirely senior to the
preclear's. See? So we have the problem of senior
survival, senior survival.

Now, Universe Processing is run by spotting spots in space
where things are safe. That's the essence of it. Now, we
want to know what things have senior survival to the
preclear. And you read those right straight off the
E-Meter - Father, Mother, this, that, so forth. When you read
that biggest drop you read the biggest trouble in
universes. You read also the senior survival, the greatest
survival, about that universe.

So he's fighting the survival of these other universes.
Actually, it's perfectly all right to have all these
universes exist the same time. Actually, as you run your
preclear, you find out he becomes very, very happy that
there are other universes and so forth. But he's only in
trouble about it while you're running him, so let's
separate him out with this auditing command.

We found out that Father's universe in the assessment was
what gave him a great drop. All right. Then the first thing
we audit on him after we'd gotten all of our assessment
done, we say, "Give me some places where Father would be safe."

"Oh," he says, "Father would be safe. Oh, my goodness. Oh!
Hmmm! Gee, Father could be safe all over the place."

"Well," you say, "spot a couple of places." Now, you
actively make him spot these places, you see. That's the
trick. Don't run this process without making him spot the
places, because you're combining enough processes there you
see. Have him spot them in the MEST universe space.

All right. Where are the places where Papa would be safe?
Now, get him to get places for sure where Papa would be
safe. And we've just got lots of places. He says, "Papa
would be safe everywhere."

That's not good enough. You say, "Point out the places
where Papa would be safe." And the first thing you know,
why, Papa is less and less safe and Papa is more and more
safe and Papa is less safe. And then Papa, boy, is he
unsafe. And Papa is safe out there in the lime pit. And you
run into all kinds of manifestations of this character.

When the needle goes idle, no great registry on Papa
anymore, go back to Opening Procedure. That's with Universe
Processing, when the universe is idle. But let's say that
the universe wasn't idle. Let's say this started taking a
lot of time to run Papa's universe, see? Let's say this
goes into forty-five minutes of large meter reaction.

Well, let's switch on to the other half of Step IV What
does Papa own? What's he own? Only the auditing command
which you've given, "Give me some things which Papa does
not own."

You see, here's another method of getting at the universe.
Of course, if it... if Papa owns everything - if it's Papa's
universe then Papa owns everything. Well, here you'll hit
a long, long communication lag on most of your preclears.
This is the way, by the way, which I have been running it.
I've been running it alternately that way.

Now, I'd come down the line again after the needle went
idle... You know, we ran places where Papa was safe until
the needle was kind of idle. Then we ran some Opening
Procedure, we ran some Step I, we ran some Step II, some
Step III. The reason we did this, you see, is because that
guy is liable to bang out of his head after you've just
taken off this much Papa. He's liable to exteriorize and be
in good shape and, gee, feeling real good and ready for a
Grand Tour and all the rest of it.

So don't miss. Don't just go on arduously processing
forever on Step W Go on back there to Opening Procedure,
run it on through again. And then when we get down, we're
going to still hit Papa; because he didn't blow out of his
head, see?

What we're going to do is we're going to get things that
Papa doesn't own. And we're just going to beat this to
death. And we're going to make him spot where these places
are. And we're just going to ask him places that Papa...
things that Papa doesn't own, and particularly spaces Papa
doesn't own. Things, spaces Papa doesn't own. You're liable
to get a forty-five minute communication lag on your
preclear. In other words, he's liable to sit there
stupidly, that long, trying to find a place that Papa
doesn't own. Well, if you've already, however, run
universes to some degree, the chances of you're finding
that long a communication lag are very slight. You've
already fixed it up a bit.

So you run Opening Procedure on down the line. See, the
first time we ran universe... all the places Papa was safe.
Now we run Opening Procedure, and we get down the line.
And we're still on Papa. We're going to go right in with
Papa, things that do not belong to Papa. And we're just
going to run things that don't belong to Papa and things
that don't belong to Papa and things that don't belong to
Papa until, my golly, he's - always with certainty, see; he's
got to be certain that doesn't belong to Papa - spaces that
don't belong to Papa, until this fellow can heave a sigh
of relief and say, "For God sakes! Ha-ha! Look! That
ashtray doesn't belong to Papa!"

All right. We'd run it till the needle went idle on the
E-Meter again. In other words, there's no great reaction on
this. We go right straight up to Opening Procedure and
right straight on through. By golly, if this dog doesn't
exteriorize that time, we take the next one on the list,
the next lower reaction. And after we ve run about three
of these reactions that we got on our original assessment,
which were wild reactions and so forth - after we've run
about three of these on both ownership and places where
they are safe, and the rest of the procedure and the guy
doesn't exteriorize, you're dealing with a hidden personnel.

So take another assessment. And there's a very fast way to
take an assessment on this if your case has hung fire that
long. It probably is the universe of the first sexual
partner of the preclear, or it is something called the
spirit of man or the spirit of woman. Just ask him to run
where these two things are safe. Now, that's going much
further than most cases would go with you.

But here we have, "Where would the spirit of woman be
safe?" and "What doesn't belong to the spirit of woman?"
This might sound like gibberish to you, but it won't to
the preclear after a very short space of time.

Well, in essence then, this is an E-Meter technique. It is
run repetitively over and over because you're only trying
to run this type of process until you get somebody out of
his head.

When you've got somebody who's out of his head securely,
with certainty and so forth, the place to go, really, is
Advanced Course Procedure immediately. Grand Tour, Change
of Space, avalanches, and so on. Fast operation. And SOP
8-C still does people a lot of good, see. That's...
Advanced Course Procedure contains all those things.

All right, then, this is a method of exteriorization and a
simple method of processing. Now, it's much simpler than I
have made it sound here. Remember it consists, at the
outside, of about ten auditing commands. This is real
simple, but more than that it works and produces action
like no process ever has before. And I hope you have a lot
of success with it.
