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-18 - 5404C22 

Number 21 of "Universes and the War between Theta and Mest" 
cassettes.

SOP 8-DA

A lecture given on 22 April 1954

Consecutive to what I told you in the last lecture
concerning the impulse of life itself to work upon, operate
with the physical universe, and the central meeting ground
of this, which is of course biologic, we discover that a
great many processes are possible which resolve the problem
of an inability to think, an inability to act, a misorientation 
biologically, which is to say a psychosomatic illness, an 
inability to handle the physical universe, an inability to 
follow through various mental processes, an inability to look, 
an inability to feel; all of these things stem out of the 
difficulties between life's efforts to amalgamate with the 
physical universe. This amalgamation of course is a biological 
effort.

Now, let us trace the course of life itself in its effort
to do this. And when I say life I do not mean now a cell. I
mean a static. This static has the potentiality of
creating space, of creating energy, of creating objects,
and of making itself operable in the physical universe,
but it is not itself dependent for its existence or its
knowingness or anything else upon the physical universe. It
has all these things inherently. Basically it knows all
there is to know, basically. But it can become so
concentrated, the attention of this unit, this static that
we are referring to and which we call thetan, can become so
concentrated upon one datum or another datum that it sets
aside a great deal of its knowingness in favor of a
solidity. And there we get identification.

A person's ability to contact space and what he suffers
from in terms of identification are related.
Differentiation is essentially something which permits
space to interpose amongst data. And identification is
something which makes all data in the same space.

Now, we get an enforced problem here where an individual,
in an effort to assemble all data, to communicate with all
data, eventually fixates upon a few data and, you might
say, compresses those things into a unit-space. This is an
identification. This is manifested in an individual by
stupidity, just like that. I mean, there's no more
complexity to it than that. An individual becomes more and
more, you might say, stupid the more he identifies. The
better he can differentiate, the more brilliant he becomes.

You can see how this is. An individual believes that a
stove and a horse are the same thing. Well, that would
merely be consequent of the datum of stove and datum of
horse occupying the same space. Well, that's not logical to
you and it's not logical to me. Actually, a great deal of
data would have to intervene between a stove and a horse
before you could get the two connected. You can connect
these two by a gradient scale of data. You can say a horse
is quite warm; he is actually a biological engine. He is an
engine which operates at - I don't know what the normal
temperature of a horse is but we will just call it 98.6 - 
and he operates on oxygen and carbon. In the army they call
them hay burners. So you see actually the army could be
said - to make a joke out of it by just jumping a few
intervening data - and we say actually the army has long
recognized the relationship of a stove to a horse since
they call them hay burners. Now, you've got a relationship.
What have you done here? You have put the data on a
gradient scale, more and more space, you might say, between
a stove and a horse.

Now, an individual begins to skip these intervening data,
and he gets to a point finally where all of these data are
the same data and they're all jammed into one space, you
might say, and they're all mixed up with energy and pounded
down. And at this point he is unable to pull these data
apart. He associates, in other words, illogical things. He
associates stoves and horses. He will associate such a
thing as all women. Women are all occupying the same space
as far as he's concerned. And maybe this space was
originally occupied by Mother. And Mother was such a terror
that he eventually says anything that even vaguely
resembles Mother is bad, then anything which resembles
women is bad and therefore all women are bad. And now his
total conviction is all women are bad. And any time he
looks at a woman, no matter what she's trying to do for
him, his concept of her action is bad. You know, she tries
to give him a drink of water when he's dying of thirst;
this is a bad action.

You see people doing this in the society. You try to patch
up somebody or make somebody a little happier or something
of the sort and they turn on you and unsheath their
fingernails. Well, they're operating on some kind of a
superidentification of this character. They say, 'All
doctors are bad; all doctors are bad." They've been hurt
too many times by doctors or something of the sort, and you
are practicing some healing art and therefore you're bad.
And this would be totally irrational to you, wouldn't it?
Yet, it would seem very, very logical; it would be a great
certainty to this individual.

Now, there are two kinds of certainty involved here. One is
the certainty that one gets simply by knowing - has nothing
to do with space or impacts; space, energy, matter - and the
other certainty is that which has to do with impacts. You
can hammer and pound a fellow a long time on one datum and
he will eventually conclude that he is certain of that
datum. This is really the effort of modern education, or
ancient education.

They put somebody in a closed room, which is a very small
room, and then they pound a datum at them and say they have
to be very, very sure of this data. Well, a hundred years
ago they made very sure that they educated them because
they took a rod to them, and if a fellow was unwilling to
admit that one plus one equalled two, they would beat him
until he did admit it. And thus you get the concatenation
of data which sum up into things like arithmetic and so
forth. Basically, these things are quite logical, but a
school puts a great deal of attention upon very specific
and specialized data in this field.

Now, they have problems, however. One of their students is
very bright, he grasps arithmetic very easily, and another
student is quite dull and seems utterly '1ncapable of
grasping arithmetic. The second student could be said to be
pounded too hard. He's been pounded too hard. He has too
many things identified. He can't pull his thoughts apart
anymore. His thoughts are all in a ball, you might say. And
when you say to him... that is, it can be just in a... on a
ball on the subject of mathematics, you see, nothing but
mathematics, mathematics alone are this identification. He
knew somebody who was quite smart at arithmetic, which
person hated him, and he hated that person and this person
beat him.

Let's say his father was an accountant. And he had a great
deal of trouble with his father and so forth. Well, we get
to a point where the fact that Father handles arithmetic is
sufficient to cause all arithmetic to become first
associated with Father and then totally identified with
Father. And this total identification would bring upon a
great stupidity. Trying to learn arithmetic would be like
being beaten or ridiculed by Father.

There we have an example, a practical example in life, of
what specifically happens to an individual. He identifies
more and more and more things with the physical universe,
with objects, more and more things, and eventually he gets
to a point where he can no longer differentiate amongst
objects, data, facts, people. And that he's had a bad
experience with a small child is enough then to cause,
first, him to be a little bit uncomfortable in the
vicinity of small children, and then as he has worse and
worse experiences (he's already elected, you see, to have
bad experiences with small children) the next thing you
know, why, all small children bring him actual physical
pain. Just the sight of a small child is enough to cause
him pain, physical pain, actually. Let's say as a small
child he was very badly hurt. This is a dangerous age.
Therefore small children have a tendency to restimulate
this period of his life. 

Well, in this you get differentiation decaying, really,
into too close an association, and that decaying into a
very close identification, and this is the same pattern as
the descending of the static, life, which is not yet
connected with the universe, to a total connection with the
physical universe. And the meeting ground of that total
connection is, of course, this biological pattern.

Now, the MEST universe - which is to say matter, energy,
space and time - MEST universe has a curve or cycle of
action. That cycle of action is a very simple one. It
begins with creation, goes through persistence and
progresses into and ends with decay or destruction.
Creation, survival, destruction, that is the curve. It
starts with creation, goes through survival and goes down
into destruction. This is the time span, you might say, of
the individual, of a planet, of a flower, of anything. That
is the pattern, operation of the universe - create, survive,
destroy.

Now, that curve should demonstrate to us a considerable
amount of data right there. Actually, it's a very, very old
curve. Stated differently, we discover this curve in the
Vedic hymns. One of the earliest of the Vedic hymns says
that things are born, they grow, they persist for a while,
they decay and they die. And that is straight out of the
Vedic hymns, and those things are probably in excess of
eight thousand years old.

All right, so this is not a new datum, but let's codify it
and let's look at it and let's see if that datum all by
itself is of any great use to us. Well, it certainly is,
because we have in an individual his impulses. And what are
the impulses of an individual? They are divided up into
three categories: the impulse to create, the impulse to
survive or persist and the impulse to destroy, which turn
over eventually into the impulse to be created, the impulse
to be made to survive and the impulse to be destroyed. And
here when we have walked into this last one we have walked
into the death wish of Schopenhauer. Here we have
actually, eventually, a death wish.

Now, an individual who progresses along this curve
discovers this: At the point of creation a great many
things are possible. For instance, it can be said even of a
group that its highest ethic level and its highest level of
ability is at the moment of its formation. This is quite
true. In an individual if you start running the cycle of
any action that he has been through which was disastrous,
we discover that his view of the image pictures which he
has of this action are three-dimensional at the start of
the incident and walk on through to being a little bit
tighter at the top of the curve, which is survive, and
finally wind up at the end of the curve being totally
invisible or black. They've gone through a process of being
three-dimensional, then more or less two-dimensional and
finally over to a point of nonexistent. That is just the
image pictures, the recordings he has taken of the
incident. We find this curve traced all through life.

Now, we find this static over here, the thetan, is totally
capable of creation and destruction, and the odd part of
it is, his survival is natively infinite. This whole curve
is inherent in the individual, that is to say that life
unit known as the thetan which is an energy-space,
production unit. All three points on the curve are inherent
in the thetan.

Now, what happens to him then? Well, he begins to
concentrate upon create. He matches himself up and begins
to depend upon the time of the MEST universe, and so drifts
from create to a feeling he has to persist to a feeling
that he is destroyed. And he goes through that curve. And
he starts to mirror this in various ways just as himself;
and then finally biologically, in association with bodies
(which are, of course, merely life forms amalgamated with
the physical universe) which are undergoing this cycle of
action. And when he falls beyond the point of bodies, there
is nothing left. He can't even have a biological expression
which, of course, makes practically all communication
impossible.

Now, what practical use is there of this. If these things
are all inherent with the individual, why, what could we
do, then, to change the individual? Well, there are two
things to change here. Actually there are three things to
change. You could change the physical universe. That is the
study of physics. You could change the biological form of
things. That's another study. And the other change that you
could make would be the change of the life unit itself.
Well, the life unit itself simply changes by changing its
mind. That's very simple. But when it begins to believe
that it is and when it is totally concentrated upon this
biological line and has dedicated itself to the formations
of cells and other such things, it becomes more difficult
to change because it thinks the biological line itself has
to be changed before it can change. Actually, All it has to
do to change is change its mind.

It is totally composed, you might say, of postulates, which
is to say statements that it makes, conclusions. And the
biological line is utterly dependent upon a great many
conclusions from a great many sources. And the physical
universe is the most neatly arranged set of agreements that
you could possibly rack up. They are very interestingly
precise. You could say those are the postulates of God, and
they consist of Ohm's law, Newton's three laws of motion,
the various nuclear laws; all of these things are, of
course, part and parcel of the physical universe. But are
they necessarily a part of this static called life? No. It
would be capable of making a great many such laws, and
making them... and putting them into effect. It's capable
actually of making a whole universe of its own. But when
it's moved all the way across to the physical universe,
then all it is doing is agreeing 100 percent with the
agreements which it already found on the ground.

At that time all the determinism there is, so far as option
and choice of the individual is concerned, all the
determinism there is, is other-determinism: the determinism
of the physical universe. On the biological line the only
real difficulty the individual has is that a great many
things on the biological line are otherwise determined.

So we have another scale. Over here the thetan is best off
when he is self-determined. You know, he's making his own
laws. And he is only mediumly well off when he is part of
the biological line whereby he is using some of his own
determinism, but a great deal of other-determinism for his
postulates. And he is in terrible shape when he's gotten
over to the physical universe side where he is totally
dependent only upon other postulates and he makes none of
his own.

There is the scale of other-determinism and
self-determinism. Starts out with self-determinism, then a
little bit of other-determinism enters in, and as it goes
on down the line we have more and more other-determinism,
less and less self-determinism, and we get a picture
whereby the physical universe represents total
other-determinism and where the thetan represents total
self-determinism in his native state before he became
fixated upon other postulates than his own. Therefore, we
can say that the deterioration of the individual is the
deterioration of his own determinism.

Well, this would have to do with another thing. It would be
deterioration of his knowingness. He would become less and
less certain of his own rightness and more certain of
other rightnesses. And so he would become convinced at
length that only the physical universe was right and that
he himself had no right to be right.

Now, a great many operations enter into this, but an
individual who is very bad off cannot be made to tell a
lie. If he's terribly bad off, he cannot tell a lie about
something that's happened in the past. He just can't lie,
that's all. He's terrified of lies. Well, he's ... In
other words, he's terrified of making a postulate of his own.

You take a small child, look at this child. The child's
having an interesting time. He can put battleships in the
front yard and in the ceiling, and his pockets full of
jewels and diamonds. He's perfectly happy about it. And we
look over here at this same child when he has become aged
and antique and sixteen, and we find out that he has begun
to be terrified of saying something is different in the
past than was. He says, "That is a church." And by golly,
it's a church. He says, "That is a car." It's a car.
There's nothing wrong with his calling it anything so long
as he knows he's calling it something different than what
other people call it. All we have here is an ability which
is deteriorating, an ability to know what other people know
and what he knows, too. Well, eventually it gets down to a
point of he knows only what other people know and he
doesn't know what he knows. So we get the deterioration of
the individual.

Well, how to resolve this problem? Is there a fast method
of resolution? Yes, there certainly is. Let's take a look
at create. We'll discover as we process, treat individuals
that they are most concerned really about their inability
to create. They're most concerned about this. They get very
upset. You find some case that can see nothing but
blackness, cannot even see his own image pictures anymore.
His main concern is the fact that once upon a time he could
paint, once he could write, once he could get ideas in
general, he could create. And we find that his greatest
sorrow will be located on the basis he can no longer do this.

What's happened to him? He has begun to depend for the C
upon the biological line; that is to say, for the create
end of this cycle of action upon the biological line. The
biological line now is carrying the burden of create.

And how is that expressed? It's expressed sexually. We have
an individual who is having difficulty with creating his
own thoughts and so forth, having difficulty with space,
having difficulty with differentiation. In other words, the
early part of the curve is gone. We find that individual
has become dependent upon a system of creation known as
sex. He has become very upset where and when he cannot
procreate. He has become sold, you might say, upon this set
of postulates known as biology. He has to depend upon
various other factors such as the weather, temperature,
water, other things have to enter in so that he can create,
so that. .. and what he creates is now very limited. And
that is to say, he creates another cell, he creates another
life form.

Cytology says, "This unending stream of protoplasm which
goes through time." Well, that is the most succinct
statement that can be made, really, on the description of
sex. It is an unending stream of protoplasm that goes
through time. But it's, of course, adventurous to call it
unending, because the destruction of the air envelope of
this planet by some mad hatter who has completely bought an
atomic postulate, and has forgotten that life itself can
make postulates, would destroy every life form on this
planet and would certainly end the unending line of
protoplasm.

Well, this is an anxiety. This total dependence upon the
MEST universe in order to create brings about this anxiety.
When is somebody going to come along with an atom bomb and
knock the whole thing off? An individual says, "Look, I can
go along, I can carry on in life because I can cause bodies
to create new forms, and I can make these new forms." And
he becomes fixated on this and all of a sudden somebody
says, "Well, let's destroy everything." And that will end
your unending line of protoplasm in this area - "Let's
destroy everything." That, of course, is what your nuclear
physicist is saying today, aided and abetted by the
military form of government which most countries now have.

Now, they, of course, are playing the other end of the
scale. The cycle of action has come over to a point of
where they think in terms of destruction. You say, "Well
now look, you could take an atomic pile and you could run
automobiles and you could do all sorts of things with it.
You could run factories. Look, you could create enough
water even to make California unthirsty, and just with an
atomic pile; there's nothing to that."

And yet we find that none of this was possible to people
who studied the physical universe until a war came along
and appropriated for the project of the atom bomb three
billion dollars and Lord knows how many billions since.
Nobody has ever appropriated five cents to find out whether
or not an atomic pile could distill water. But kill men,
yes. So you see the depravity which has set in over here
when you get total agreement with the physical universe.
You could say that this is a war going on between an effort
on the part of the physical universe to destroy all life
within it and an effort on the part of life to master and
use the physical universe. And this war has its two
extremes. The dramatization of the physical universe is death.

Now, your create-survive-destroy curve is very useful to
you in processing since you will find your preclear
located somewhere on it. Of course, you see, none of the
people that you're really in communication with as preclears 
are yet totally in the biological span. They are closer 
to the static than they are to the biological span.
The biological span is being carried on by, evidently, the
same mechanism which has deteriorated down to a point where
it can only make cells, and it really makes the cells. The
people that you address and that you can still get in
communication with are actually energy-space production
units which are simply using this biological line.

This is very easily tested. You say to somebody who is not
having very much trouble with this biological line, you
say, "Be three feet back of your head," and of course,
bing, he is. No trouble, he says, "What do you know. I am a
thought production unit. I am not a body." This comes as a
great surprise to him.

What you've done is interrupt his dwindling spiral where he
was just merging right on down to the biological line, and
he would finally wind up as doing nothing but make more
cells, make more bodies. How do you combine the
protoplasmic acids in order to do this, in order to do
that? A terribly complex mechanism, by the way, making a
cell, making a body, but he has come down to a point of
where he would simply be part of this impulse. And you've
interrupted that. You've said, "Be three feet back of your
head." And he says to himself... He can still think, he
still has some fluidity, he is not totally identified yet,
and he says, "What do you know, I am a thought production
unit." And you can go on and drill him with various drills
which are very advanced in procedures and we find that this
individual is capable of making space, we find out he's
capable of creating energy, we find out that he can do a
great number of things, and principally that his
knowingness has been well restored.

But most people have a little bit of difficulty. They don't
snap out of their heads with complete knowingness. They
have to be coaxed into that knowingness. They're certain
they are out of their heads, but they don't quite know what
they're doing. Well, a few drills put them up into a
condition whereby they can perform, too. They can see. They
can see the physical universe just as well out of their
heads as in it. And the individual who just has to be
exteriorized and coaxed a little bit is not terribly
difficult. Therefore the easy case that just... You say,
"Be three feet back of your head," and he says, "What do
you know, I'm me, and I know, and so forth." You say, "Be
three feet back of your head," and he says, "Yes, I'm here
all right, but, boy, this is certainly puzzling." And you
have to drill them. Well, those people comprise about 50
percent of the people that you would process as an auditor.

Now, what about the remaining 50 percent? These people
don't jump three feet back of their head. Well, there's a
similarity there between this case level and the inability
to create. There's a similarity there to a position on the
curve. These people are trying so hard to survive that they
have practically merged with the biological line. They
think of themselves as a body. They think of themselves as
totally incapable of doing anything but forwarding this
biological line. In other words, they've come right in
towards survive. And survive in essence is a persistence.
And, boy, do their ideas, what those... ideas they have, do
they persist. They cannot change their ideas at will,
therefore therapy becomes rather difficult with them. Their
persistence is itself the thing which is debarring their
therapy because it's what they're persisting on. They're
persisting on the biological line, which of course is
rigged to do what? To make more biological line. You see?
Biological line makes more biological line, makes more
biological line, which means repair the body and depend
upon sex - the unending stream of protoplasm - to make new
biological lines.

So we find our people, as we process them, further and
further along on this curve of create, through survive, to
destroy. And when we get well past survive, we get to an
individual who can think in no terms but suicide. He tries
to kill himself and those around him. He would not even
dream of getting, you might say, out of the body. All he
can think of is being in the body and destroying things.
He has bought the physical universe.

Well, we try to process this individual. We normally find
him in sanitariums, and so forth, because he's no longer
able to promote the biological line; and we find his
anxiety on the subject of sex very, very great, but it's
very destructive. It's not the type of sexual activity that
would lead to an unending stream of protoplasm. Quite on
the contrary, it would be a type of sexual activity which
said "The unending stream of protoplasm must now end,"
which is to say homosexuality, other misconducts. And we'd
find him over on the physical universe side of the ledger
over here. And he would be very involved with rocks and
solid masses of various things. He's really left the
biological line.

Well, hardly anybody you process is way over there, because
those people are almost gone; they're quite insane; they
are no longer able to promote life in any form or shape.

The occluded case sets in before you have reached the peak
of the curve. It's still over on the create side of the curve.

Now, the case then that you will process either steps three
feet back of his head with great ease, or he's three feet
back of his head with certainty but kind of puzzled, or
he's three feet back of his head uncertainly and he can't
observe anything or see anything but he recognizes there is
some small truth in what we are talking about, or he's
stuck in the head and totally sold on the biological line,
or he's more pulled into the physical universe than he is
into a body. In other words, he's even stopped being a
body. He's more apt to be an object of some sort.

So we have the whole gamut. How do we solve all of these
cases? We'll use a process known as SOP 8-DA. This process
utilizes many, many factors. And we haven't time to review
all these factors at this time. It's dependent mainly upon
the curve create, survive, destroy. It is dependent upon
the formula of communication. And communication is cause
across a distance to effect, C dash E. And cause is merely
a source-point of an impulse or particle, and effect is
simply the receipt-point of an impulse or particle. And the
distance traversed between the two is a space. And that is
actually the way space is created. You just say C dash E,
because space is a viewpoint of dimension. A fellow has to
be there looking before there really is any space. Now,
what he sees, of course, is E. But he is creating the
space; he's actually the viewpoint at C. And all space is
created from C. People seeing that there is space in the
physical universe naturally believe that there has to be a
God somewhere who is doing all the looking. A very, very
religious person believes that God does all the looking,
believe me, all of it. All right. He's creating all the
space, and this C dash E has another thing. A perfect
communication finds duplicated at the receipt-point what is
sent from the dispatch-point, the source-point. In other
words, E duplicates C. A perfect communication contains
duplication. Agreement also contains duplication. A perfect
agreement is a perfect duplication.

Now, we have a triangle known as the ARC triangle, and this
at the top of the Tone Scale at 40 is a very, very loose
triangle. I mean, it's very big, it's very flexible, and at
the bottom it is an identified point. But the triangle is
total other-determinism at the bottom, and it's total
self-determinism at the top. Somewhere in between there is
an optimum interpersonal relationship possible.

We have... ARC, of course, is affinity, reality and
communication. Reality is composed mainly of agreement.
Communication is simply the transfer one to another of
impulses, thoughts, particles. And affinity is naturally
that feeling of beingness which one shares with others. The
degree of affinity. ARC.

Well, let's look into this and see if there aren't some
very fast processes. Well, we find an individual when you
first put your hands on him usually can't do two things. If
he's very bad off; he can't do two things. And most of the
individuals you lay your hands on will have difficulty with
these two things. One is receive orders he's going to have
difficulty with that - and the other thing is communication
in general. He's going to have great difficulty with that.
And he'll also have another difficulty, a third one. He
won't like you or anybody else. See, he's having difficulty
with A, difficulty with R and with C.

Now, but the two principal things which you will note are
simply these, that he's having difficulty communicating in
any ... In other words, you say something to him and he
doesn't quite apprehend what you're saying. And the other
one is, he won't receive an order because this means he has
to duplicate you exactly.

Well, there's another thing he's having trouble with, quite
in addition to ARC, and that's space. Every case you
process is having some kind of trouble with space. All
right, let's combine these various factors then, and as we
start to process a case, let's see if we can't get him into
communication. Let's see if we can't get him talking or
communicating in some fashion with us. That would be the
first thing you would have to do with the case, and there
are many ways to do that - we needn't go into at this
time - there are many ways to do it. But just talking to
somebody. "How do you feel? How do you think about the
world?" Just get him talking, a flow going both ways.
You'll find out that this is a very necessary first step.
The next one is to get him to receive an order and execute
it in such a fashion that you know he's doing it. And so we
have Opening Procedure.

Opening Procedure is the process of making a person move
around as a body and locate various things. Make postulates
he's going to go a certain place and then go there. Make a
postulate he's going to do something and then do it. You
give him an order to do something and he does it. In other
words, an enormous variety of things are possible under
Opening Procedure whereby you are simply delivering a
communication or an order, and the individual is complying
and you know he's complying because he's moving around the
room doing it. This is necessary because the cases you're
going to have a lot of trouble with will sit in that chair
and do something else entirely different because you don't
watch their mind in operation.

All right, this Opening Procedure then for SOP 8-C is quite
complex, but in SOP 8-D it becomes very elementary. All you
do is ask the fellow to go around and find points in space
and put his finger on them and let them go and find other
points in space, move around. He locates points in space
and locates points in space until you're quite sure that,
one, he can find the same point several times, and he is
getting fairly comfortable about it, he doesn't get
screamingly bored about it. If he starts to get awfully
bored about it, this simply means that he is coming up
against a stop, and as a result, you know, he's coming up
against his inability to do it. You just make him do it a
little bit more and that boredom will pass away. But you've
gotten him over the main hump here, and you've let him
tolerate space. You've let him see space without
necessarily seeing an object.

Now, what have you... why did you do all this? Well, that's
so he will follow your orders. There's no sense in
processing somebody unless orders will be followed. But
there's another thing about it and that is that Opening
Procedure is in itself very, very therapeutic. So let's
remember in doing Opening Procedure, do it thoroughly. How
long do you have to do it? Well, you do it until he is
comfortably accepting your orders and executing, and he's
perfectly willing to duplicate many times. And that's how
long you follow Opening Procedure.

As I say, there's wider Opening Procedures in 8-C, but this
is a very compact process, this SOP 8-DA.

Next step, which is Step I. You ask the preclear to be
three feet back of his chair. That's all there is to that
step. And I've just talked to you about that. That you've
separated him out of the biological line, just bing! He
either will separate out or he won't. You don't care
whether he does or he doesn't. You go on to the next step.
You say, "Now, whatever you're looking at, at this moment..." 
We get into Step II which is duplication. If there's
something wrong with the fellow's communication, his
ability to communicate, his ability to differentiate and
so forth, there's certainly something wrong with
duplication. He can't duplicate easily, so we go into Step
II, and we have the preclear look at whatever he's seeing:
the room, the body, the sky, the building. You say, "Be
three feet back of your head." Well, maybe he just
continues to see nothing but blackness. Well, whatever he
sees, you don't care. You just tell him to get another one
just like it, and then another one just like it, and then
another one just like it. One at a time, you ask him to
duplicate it over and over and over. And you do that step
to him, you say, "What do you see? All right, get another
one just like it, duplicate it and duplicate it and
duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and
duplicate it and duplicate it."

And after you've done that a lot of times, then you ask him
to look around and find a nothingness. And ask him then to
get another nothingness just like it. In other words,
duplicate it and duplicate it and duplicate it and
duplicate it and duplicate it. Duplicate a nothingness. You
see, thats one thing that a static has never, never done,
and it's quite new. That's a perfect communication. If
you're dealing with something here which is really a
nothingness, in order to get a perfect communication
you've got to have nothingness to nothingness. And as a
result very often people will immediately snap out of their
heads as soon as they start doing this. That's a case
that's not very bad off. So there's two parts to that. One,
whatever you're looking at, look at it, now duplicate it,
duplicate it, duplicate it, duplicate it many times and get
image pictures of it. And the other one is, the other part
is find a nothingness, now duplicate that nothingness and
duplicate that nothingness many, many times, duplicate,
duplicate, duplicate, duplicate, so on. Okay, you see the
direction of the thetan has always been toward making
something. Well, this is never a perfect communication and
will obviously wind him up sooner or later as being an
object. See, he's never asked to make nothing. He always
tries to make something.

Take your daily workaday world. You're always trying to
make something. Of course, you get over into the destroy
end, then you're trying to make nothing of something
particularly, and that's quite different, you see, than
just making nothing. You're trying to make nothing of
Russians or nothing of cancer or nothing of starvation, but
that's nothing of something. And of course that's after the
fact. You just want a pure nothing and you're just going to
duplicate it many times, and that's a perfect communication.

All right. We have then Step III. Now, we have the
individual hold the two back corners of the room. We just
have him sit there and hold on to the two back corners of
the room. He sort of puts a beam out of wherever he is to
each one of the two back corners of the room. And believe
me it's the back corners of the room. It's not the front
corners of the room, and it's just two of them, it's not
four or six or eight. It's just two back corners of the
room, and he simply holds on to those, and it's very
important that he sit there and not think. And you tell him
to do this, just sit there and don't think. And you have
him do that from two minutes to two hours.

There's many a preclear has simply exteriorized after
holding on to the two back corners of the room for a couple
of hours. Now, what happens when it's not think? Well you
see, he's been trying to think, the impulse is to think, to
think, to think, to think, to figure, figure, figure,
figure, figure, and you've just put the brakes on that
impulse and you just reverse that flow. You just have him
sit there comfortably and not think. And that is all there
is to the third step. 

Now, let's get into the fourth step. Well, now in 8-D
itself the fourth step is a problem in universes. It is
separating out various universes. There is a prime axiom
here, "Any universe is subject to the postulates of the god
of that universe. And it's only subject to that god's
postulates."

So let's take Mother, we'll say Mother has a universe. All
right, that universe is subject to Mother's postulates.
You see that?

Now, there are three classes of universes: There's the pre
clear's own universe, there are other people's universes
and there's the physical universe. Just like that, that's
all there are, that's three classes. All right.

Now, that's all you need to be concerned with certainly.
Now, we have the individual who is unable to change his own
mind, is in the condition that he can't change his
postulates. But are they his postulates? No, they're not.
He is, you might say, in other universes than his own. If
he were totally in his own universe, he would be able to
change his postulates at will. Well, he can't do this, so
let's fix him up so he can change his postulates. How would
you get him to do this? Well, in 8-D one simply goes down
the line and finds all the persons he's been associated
with since birth, looks at the E-Meter, finds the biggest
dives and simply asks two questions. He asks these two
questions many, many times, over and over. First he asks
many, many times, "Where would Mother be safe?" And the
other question is "Give me some things that Mother doesn't
own." Those are the two questions and there aren't any
other questions. You understand that? There aren't any
other questions, and where this technique has fallen down,
it is someplace where an auditor has gotten too unbearably
fancy for words. He can't be this simple, you see. He's
gotta ball it up somehow or another by saying, 'All right
now, let's get where communications from your mother would
be safe." No, no, no. "Where Mother would be safe." You see
this? All right.

Now, "Give me some things Mother doesn't own." Now don't
ask him, "Give me some things that Mother does own,"
because it's not true that Mother owns a single thing that
he'll ever see, because the universe that he will see is
his own universe. Even when he's looking at the physical
universe, he is seeing his viewpoint of the physical
universe, and that's what it is to him. Mother doesn't own
any part of any of this. So let's ask the truth, "Give me
some places where Mother would be safe." Of course, Mother
would be safe anyplace because she isn't anyplace. Mother
would be safe anywhere, actually, because, oh well, she
would not necessarily be safe as Mother, a composite form
in the face of death and so forth, but as far as a thetan,
a life impulse or series of life impulses, she, of course,
is safe anywhere. So let's ask the two truthful questions.
One, "Where is Mother safe?" And the other is "Give me some
things Mother doesn't own." Well, that's 8... SOP 8-D;
that's the way that's run, E-Meter technique.

Now, we're doing though SOP 8-DA which is a modification.
Many, many years ago a fellow by the name of Sigmund Freud
adventured into the field of psychotherapy and established
the factors of association, and many other things. He was a
very, very brilliant man, and in 1894 he broke away from
his earlier companions of philosophy and established a
theory known as the libido theory. This libido theory
stated that sex was the trouble with everything. Well, of
course, his conclusions on this to us are very, very
remarkable. They're very far afield, they're much too
complex for our use. Nevertheless, in its finest essence
this is essentially true for a certain level of case.

Let's look at a scale. Know deteriorates into look, look
deteriorates into emotion, emotion - condenses, you might say
each time, too - condenses into effort, effort condenses into
thinkingness, thinkingness condenses into symbols (because
symbols are just packages of thought), and symbols condense
into eating, and eating condenses into sex.

A demonstration of this is you want to take a family of
rats. Psychology did, by the way, contribute one thing to
mankind. Psychology is a nineteenth-century subject, it
originated and came to its peak in the nineteenth century.
It originated this fact that you could experiment with
rats. No further rationale about it, but you could
experiment with rats. And it's found this out, and actually
let's look this over and amongst the field of rats, let's
just avoid being logical and looking at human beings
because it's observable there, too. And we find out that if
we take a family of rats and reduce their food to a point
where they're almost starving that they'll start breeding
like mad.

Let's look at India, and find out that there's very little
food in India and there's a terrific amount of breeding.
Where you reduce the ability of the individual to survive,
you get a reliance upon sex. Next generation. Everybody
starts passing in his checks and saying, "Well, see you in
the next generation." Unending stream of protoplasm. Let's
abandon these units right here. Let's just make sure that
there's plenty of protoplasm lying up there and we'll
survive someplace else some other day. And therefore you
get sex at the bottom of all this.

Now, he studied this lower level and had a tendency to try
to condense and compress everything into this lower level.
It doesn't all compress there because knowingness is not
resident in sex, and symbols are not resident in sex, and
eating is not resident in sex, or anything else; but all of
these things can be found there. Let's find the biggest
point of irrationality in the entire culture of today,
however, and let's look at sex and find out that sex is the
point of entrance in any case that you're going to have
trouble with. And SOP 8-D is something that is applicable
to any and all cases, but it will still take a long time on
the case that's having an awful time of it.

Instead of this, let's take one which is dedicated to the
roughest case of all, but which will work on any case. It
will work on any case but it's dedicated to the roughest
case of all, and that's SOP 8-DA, real rough. And let's
enter this Know to Sex Scale at the level of sex. Of
course, you know there are solid massive steel objects
below sex, and you'll find a lot of cases you have to solve
those with. But if you run into a case that's that rough,
why, you just better do Advanced Course Procedure, and let
it go at that.

But let's take these cases that are occluded, that are
hanging fire, and let's discover something very peculiar
about these cases. Let's find out that if other things
won't break them up one way or the other that SOP 8-DA will.

All right, what is Step IV then of SOP 8-DA? It asks just
one question. "Where would (blank) be safe?" It's the only
question it asks. "Where would (blank) be safe?" Now, what
do you put in blank? And by the way, it isn't "Where would
a communication line to (blank) be safe? Where would
(blank) affinity be safe? Where wouldn't little curlicues
on this question be safe?" No, no, no. It's "Where would
(blank) be safe?" That's all, that's the total question:
"Where would (blank) be safe?"-unvaried, unvarying.

Blank is this list: semen, ovum, wombs, male genitals,
vaginas, embryos, fetuses, birth and infants. End of list,
and I do mean end of list.

Now, this is worked just a little bit different in that
there isn't any real use to search these up on an E-Meter.
If your case isn't exteriorizing very easily, he is
depending utterly upon the biological line for his
continued survival. So let's just bust the unending stream
of protoplasm. Let's just cut the Gordian knot at center
with this. You understand there can be cases that are
tougher than this, cases that are being solid objects. They
are way over here in the physical universe bracket. Don't
try to run this on a nuclear physicist; it probably won't
work. He has no more concept of procreation... As a
matter of fact their wives find this out rather rapidly.
That's a horrible nasty thing to say, but they're not
totally emasculated, they're merely ohmified.

You can exceed this, in other words, but this technique
will still work upon them and still produce a considerable
effect. Won't solve the case all the way out, you see, but
it will produce quite an effect on the individual because
you've stepped back up a little bit above him and you've
processed him up to where they can think about sex.

All right. Let's take that list which I just gave you and
run it in this fashion. We ask the individual where ovums
would be safe and where sperm would be safe. Now you ask
him, "Now give me some places where sperm would be safe,
and give me some places where ovums would be safe." If he
doesn't know what an ovum is, you tell him it's a female
egg. And if he doesn't know what semen is, why, you find
out what his colloquial name for it is.

Now, you just ask him one or the other because the funny
part of it is that these things are somewhat alternately
safe. You know, he'll look all around and he won't be able
to find any place where ovums are safe. But you ask him,
"Well all right, where's a place where some semen is safe?"
"Oh, right there," see. You know, the two things are so
identified that you can't take one all the way out of the
problem. In other words, you're really dealing with a
tremendous biological identification here. You can't keep
asking, "Well now, where's another place semen would be
safe? And where's another place semen would be safe? And
another place semen would be safe? And another place,"
because you're going to hang up on ovum. So this is best
run then on an E-Meter. And you don't even have to review
the list on the E-Meter, ask about Papa, Mama or anything
else. But you're giving him an E-Meter, waiting for it to
stick. And when it sticks, why, he's hung up on something
or other there and let's just shift on to one of the other
items and work it until all of these items produce a
completely free needle. That's how long you work that list.

You start in with the semen and ovums, and after he's
worked this for a little while you'll be quite astonished,
by the way, to find out in a man who's having a great deal
of difficulty, that ovums and semen are only safe injected
into his own body. Totally irrational, isn't it? You find
out that his own genitals... it's not safe in his own
genital area. It's just safe in his own stomach or
something. You know, I mean this is real fouled up. He
swapped communication lines with too many females.

Actually, this man got into trouble with women, and this
woman got into trouble with men, and there's been too much
cross references between the two, because a man talking to
a woman is not duplicating and she isn't duplicating him.
They're different sexes and different forms and different
heights and different smells and different ambitions and
everything else, you see. And these two don't duplicate
worth a nickel. Facing each other, they get very fixed on
this necessity to duplicate the son of a bitch because you
just can't grr-nnn. You just don't understand what you're
talking about. I mean people are frantic on this subject.
Why? Well, a male body doesn't duplicate a female body, so
a communication line is immediately interrupted. This is
the finest little booby-trapping mechanism you ever saw in
your life. Naturally, sooner or later a man starts to think
of himself as a woman, a woman starts to think of himself
as a man... herself as a man. Yeah, you get the darnedest
confusions. If you want to run a concept on this sometime,
just get the idea of duplicating women. Ask some preclear
to do this and he'll get more automaticity in his field
than you care to look at. Try to match terminal the idea of
communicating with women. It flies all over the place.

However, that's not good processing. This is good
processing. You just keep on asking him where semen would
be safe, where ovums would be safe and where wombs would be
safe and male genitals safe and where female vaginas would
be safe, and we just go on down the list with using those
first items, you know.

And then we find out that we've moved into another
category. We've moved into the category of wombs. "Where
are these things safe?" and there is his occlusion, see.
Because in essence most of these people, a lot of their
blackness is simply stuck in a prenatal as we've known for
an awful long time.

How to get him out of it though? All right, this is how you
get him out of it. So here's your "Where are wombs safe?"
And this goes on like this, more and more of them, and then
check every once in a while to find out if you've picked up
new needle action on semen and ovums and things like that.
And for heaven sakes, get it safe until he can at least
get thousands and thousands of miles away from his body
with perfect action. I mean, he can spot a spot thousands
of miles from his body for semen, because for the first
long while in processing when it comes to semen and ovums
and so on it will be right inside his body or just exactly
on the surface he will get such a thing as "An individual
sperm would be safe if it were halfway into my face." You
know, but it's right up here close.

All right, let's get it broad. Let's get it so that he can
spot these things as safe just all over the MEST universe.
See, you can just get them safe all over the place. Now, in
spotting places where they would be safe, remember if
you're going to steer in any direction, steer in the
direction of spotting spots in space, where they will be
safe. Okay?

We have, then, in essence with that list, something that
breaks up these cases, and where it doesn't completely
break the case, it takes the pressures and tensions off of
the case. Pressures and tensions come off of the case,
because quite ordinarily a case which is stuck in a lower
bracket can still run this, and you would have a tendency
to do this before you would do a lower bracket case.

Now, what's the lower bracket case from this? It's the
fellow who can only be solid objects, like steel objects,
like rocks and things like that, planets. A fellow who can
only be these things. He can't be any living organism of
any kind. He can be these solid things. What would you do
in that case? The way to break him out of one that he's
being in obsessively is just ask him to point out places
where thetans would be safe. His understanding that a
thetan is nothing, in terms of mass, and his effort as the
solid object to communicate with nothing will break him
down into apathy. Why? Because he's a solid object
communicating with a nothingness. And he keeps doing this
and it just simply will bust up this energy shell.

Now, you'll find another manifestation in here that you
mustn't overlook, is... any preclear you have has a
tremendous scarcity of semen, ovums, wombs and so forth, so
be prepared at any time if he starts to get gasping, weak
or sick at his stomach to remedy his havingness. You are
just running "Where are semen safe? Where would some semen
be safe?" And he's starting to get a little sick.
Recognize that getting sick as havingness trouble and have
him just mock up lots of semen and pour it into himself;
lots of ovums and pour them into himself; and so forth. In
other words, remedy his havingness if he gets sick. But
even if you didn't do that, you would still come out with
the process. And that is SOP 8-DA.

Thank you.
