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-20 - 5404C26 Number 23 of "Universes and the War between
Theta and Mest" cassettes.


GENERAL HANDLING OF A PC

A lecture given on 26 April 1954


Okay. This is the 26th of Apnl 1954.

Want to talk to you now about the general handling of a
preclear and what you do, when you do it.

First, goals. Here we have this composite being; he's a
somethingness, he's a nothingness. He is in continuous
contact with empty space and solid forms and fluid
energies. He's able to duplicate; he's able to produce
space; he's able to handle energy; he's able to actually
make objects. He's able to create; he's able to destroy;
and he certainly is surviving.

Well, what are we going to do with this fellow? Basically,
we're trying to pick up his level of knowingness; that's
what we're really trying to do. But below that level, when
we have to do with space, energy, masses, objects and so
forth, we are trying to get him to be willing to assume any
viewpoint in the whole universe; trying to get him willing
to assume any viewpoint in the universe.

I went over this about glasses. An individual who is
unwilling to see is an individual who is unwilling to
assume a viewpoint. Person goes around with a pair of
glasses on and you process him and process him and process
him. Oh sure, you're getting his ideas shifted around,
you're getting him changed, but he has not yet become
willing to accept the viewpoint of himself - his own
viewpoint. He's still wearing glasses. He doesn't want a
blurred viewpoint, and this protest against a blurred
viewpoint makes his eyes more and more blurred. Any
optometrist can tell you that the more glasses you fit on
people, the more glasses you're going to fit on people. The
glasses themselves are a protest against a viewpoint.
They're also an effort to protect the eyes, which is
protection of a viewpoint. They're an invisible barrier.
But it's an unwillingness to assume a viewpoint.

Now, how does this all work out for an auditor? It works
out that an auditor progresses a case as far as he is able
to make the case tolerant of other viewpoints than his own.
This would sound to you as though nobody would be well
unless he was out of valence into everybody else's valence
over the whole universe. That doesn't happen to be true.
That's the bottom of the Tone Scale. The individual is
compulsively out of valence on his own choice. He could be
in anything's, anybody's valence assuming any spot in space
to view from, or to create any spot in space to view from.
And it tells you very, very adequately what is the value of
ethics and human decency and so forth. Are these things all
kind of lowscale and kind of no good, and is that
individual best off who is the most cruel and selfish and
so On? Well, the moment that you really establish in the
field of your own knowingness this fact about viewpoints,
all those questions about ethics, mores, blow up. They all
blow up.

What is the optimum nature for man? What is it? Cruelty?
Force? Meanness? Viciousness? Sweetness and light? What is
it? If you've ever known anybody who was obsessively cruel,
you might also know this: that he sure wouldn't permit
anybody to be cruel to him. Did you ever notice that?

I can imagine back in the medieval times when they had
these boys in charge of these torture chambers that if you
had approached any one of those torturers with a good hot
iron he would have pleaded very, very hard with you. I dare
say he would have abased himself.

Of course, we can talk about the DED-DEDEX, overt
act-motivator sequence, and so forth, but this is just
phenomena. The fact of the matter is that an individual who
is motivator hungry has blocked himself off from assuming
too many viewpoints by creating too many motivators. He's
knocked off too many people. He's killed too many back
along the track. He's been too cruel, too mean. And he
finally gets to the point where he realizes that he has
just shut off any idea of having feminine viewpoints or
masculine viewpoints or viewpoints of horses or dogs or
anything else. Why? He was cruel to all of these beings,
and so if he assumes their viewpoints, he assumes the
viewpoint of something that is having cruelty done to it,
so he can't assume this viewpoint. And so he feels, though,
that there must be some mechanism by which he can sort of
cave things in on himself so he can get himself up to a
point of where he can have those viewpoints back.

Well, the best way to do that is to be motivator hungry,
that is to say let himself be hammered and pounded and
chewed up and pushed in on and so on. Well, this is covered
elsewhere at much greater length. You'll find many a
preclear that comes to you simply is motivator hungry. He
really isn't aberrated, as you would think of aberration.
He's just so motivator hungry that he wants you to key in a
lot of engrams on him so that he'll get a lot of somatics.
He's trying to equalize this problem here of viewpoints. He
wants you to beat him up real bad.

The truth of the matter is if you were to simply haul off
and slug him every time he came to a session he would
probably go away feeling much better. You see? He's trying
to prove many things, amongst them that it's - you can
tolerate being slugged as hard as he has slugged people.
See, he's trying to prove this, so he lets himself get slugged.

Overt act-motivator sequences in terms of viewpoints become
very interesting, but that's only one set of phenomena.
The point is that you want your preclear to be able to
tolerate any viewpoint in the whole universe. And he should
be able to tolerate it with the idea that he might be
inhabiting just that viewpoint forever on. Take the
viewpoint now of a bacteria in a cesspool. Get the idea now
of being nothing but that for the next, oh, couple of
centuries. Get that idea? Your preclear who's having a
rough time says, "Oh no, no. Terrible. Gosh no!" Well,
that's the surest cure because if he keeps saying, "No-no,
no-no"... I mean, the surest road downward if he keeps
saying, "No no, bacteria, oh the idea of bugs and disease
and... oh no, not for me!" Well, one day so he's a
bacteria. He resists it, you see. He doesn't want that
viewpoint, doesn't want that viewpoint, which is what then?

Now get this: A viewpoint makes space, doesn't it? All
right, if he doesn't want that viewpoint and doesn't want
that viewpoint, his own viewpoint is collapsing in all the
time, isn't it? He's trying to get back away from that
viewpoint which extends the space commanded by the other
viewpoint. It extends the space of the unwanted viewpoint.
Pulling back from a viewpoint then extends the space of an
unwanted viewpoint. You could see this in a graph. Do you
see this? Get a mental picture of that. You've got Bill,
and Bill keeps pulling back because he doesn't want Joe's
viewpoint, and of course he is extending... all the time
he's extending Joe's viewpoint.

Well, he gets the idea finally that there's only one
viewpoint left in the world. Well, it's because that's the
only space, see. The only space left in the world is being
made by Joe. In order to have any space at all, he has to
be Joe. And there is the basic mechanism behind the winning
valence. In order to have any space at all, he eventually
has to assume the viewpoint which he's been negating
against, and that's the mechanism of the winning valence.

Now, if you understand that you'll see how your preclear
being up against a (quote) "detestable person," has
eventually withdrawn, resisted, withdrawn, pulled back
from, jockeyed around with that other viewpoint until that
other viewpoint apparently is the only thing that is making
space anywhere around him. So in order to have any space,
he has to flick over and be that other viewpoint, and we
get a change of valence. That which men fear, they become.
That's a cinch. That which men resist, they become.

Now, you know the Christian idea of turn the other cheek?
Well, let's get a comparable idea in Scientology. Not
comparing Scientology to Christianity, but let's get the
comparable idea. The Christian idea of turn the other cheek
had a little truth in it. Let's get the comparable idea,
and that is assume the other viewpoint. No more vicious and
horrible person could possibly be alive than one who is
willing to assume any viewpoint whatsoever. The MEST
universe has rigged up more fairy tales to condemn people
who would do this. "Why, the dog! He... Everything was
going along and it started to go sort of in reverse where
he was so he just changed his viewpoint. Kill him!"

The Khan is king and the Khan is king and long live the
Khan, long live the Khan, long live the Khan. The Khan
squared comes along and kills the Khan, so he says, "Long
live Khan squared, long live Khan squared, long..." He
doesn't give a damn who's king. He'd just as soon be king
as not. Well, you say, "Well look, he doesn't get into many
games that way." He sure doesn't get in much trouble either
But if Khan squared suddenly finds out that this fellow was
saying, "Long live the Khan," why, Khan squared is
immediately upset by this.

You see, the MEST universe really wouldn't be here at all
unless people didn't object to shifting viewpoints. People
insist continually on a persistent viewpoint. They say you
must have the same viewpoint over and over, day after day,
year after year, century after century, and if they could
enforce it they would put you into solid concrete and give
you just the one viewpoint at the center of the solid
concrete and say, "There you are and you had certainly
better stay there or we'll get impatient with you." You
can't control anybody who won't assume the same viewpoint
continuously.

Now, in essence what are we fighting, then, on this top of
the curve - create, survive, destroy; what are we fighting?
As an auditor we're actually resisting something else.
We're resisting a persistence.

Here this preclear sits there and he won't change his ideas
and he won't change his ideas and he won't change his ideas
and he won't change...uhrnrnrnnn, won't change. What's he
really doing? He's persisting in the same viewpoint. Now, a
viewpoint could mean opinion but it actually means a point
from which one views. And the fact that one is viewing
things from a point, that itself creates space. There is no
space without a view. I mean, if one didn't view, if there
weren't viewpoints there wouldn't be any space.

All right, here's our problem with the preclear: He's
sitting there, won't change his viewpoint, won't change his
viewpoint. Well, supposing you just started to straightwire
him. Let's say you ran technique Zed and technique Alpha
and technique Q and technique "Alphea" and all sorts of
techniques on this preclear, and he's just stirring the
energy round and round and round and round and he's still
wearing glasses. His eyesight is still the same; he isn't
getting any perception increases and decreases, nothing
like this. Oh, he's just sitting there stirring energy. He
probably has a machine going which he has set up some time
or another to get him out of a theta trap, and all it does
is sit there and dig. And all really you're doing is you've
got your preclear sitting there watching this machine dig
in a mass of energy. He won't get anyplace.

Every once in a while I see an auditor working hard,
earnest and very, very alert, on the ball, doing everything
he's supposed to do he thinks, working with a preclear who
is doing this trick. But one of these machines is just
shoveling universes around, shoveling this around,
shoveling that around, just an automaticity going on. And
the preclear fully, fully believes he's being audited for
the good reason that somatics turn on and off. He sees
changes in his perceptic field. Sure he does. If you dumped
a ton of molasses in front of him, he'd see a different set
of molasses, wouldn't he? He'd see a ton of molasses. In
other words, he'd sure get a perception change. Well, he's
working on a machine there that is just simply shoveling
the molasses around. It'll shovel them in and shovel it out
and so on. No increase in case level. You want to watch
this preclear that's doing this to you.

How do you know he's doing it to you? Well, he didn't get
well in ten minutes, so he's doing it to you. I mean, let's
just be completely extreme about the whole thing. Let's be
completely unreasonable. If he didn't get completely well
and Clear in ten minutes, then he's just shoveling energy
around and he's dodging. You could take the completely
unreasonable attitude as an auditor... You'd get a long
ways if you did this. You would. You'd get a long ways if
you did this. A completely unreasonable attitude as an
auditor that it's a personal affront that he didn't get
cleared in ten minutes. He's gone through a little Opening
Procedure. You said, "Be three feet back of your head,
duplicate the room several times, duplicate nothing several
times. Okay, now grab onto the two back corners of the
room. Now, give me some places where you're not. Okay. Now,
how's your perception?" "Oh, ... urn-urn-urn-urn, it's
all black." "Well, you dirty dog. Here I've given you some
of the best seconds of my life and you're not cleared."

Well, of course, if he said, well, his perception is fair
and so forth, you just run him on through a two-minute
Grand Tour, you know. "Sun moon Earth sun moon Earth sun
moon Earth sun moon Earth, be in the center of the sun,
center of the moon, center of the Earth, got that? Okay. Be
outside the Earth, inside the Earth, outside the Earth,
inside the Earth, outside the Earth, inside the Earth,
outside the Earth, inside the Earth, sun moon Earth, sun
moon Earth sun moon Earth sun moon Earth sun moon, outside
the sun, inside the sun, outside the sun, inside the sun,
outside the sun, inside the sun, inside the moon, outside
the moon, inside the sun. Okay, take a dive through Mars.
Oh, you bopped. Well, let's get back up and dive real slow
down to the surface till you establish where the force
screen area is. That's right. Now go on through it. Now go
on through the rest of Mars and out the other side. Good,
you did that? Swell. Be in the center of Mars, outside of
Mars, center of Mars, outside of Mars, center of Mars,
outside of Mars. Okay, duplicate yourself several times.
Pull in four or five universes on yourself Now throw them
away. Now duplicate all the universes you're mixed up in.
Now separate them all. Okay, that's good. Now take any
viewpoint you please. Now take a look around. Now take the
viewpoint inside of a pretty girl's head. Now make her
swear. Oh, she did, good. Now be three feet back of her
head, be three feet back of your chair. Thank you very
much. Pay the cashier twenty-five dollars."

That's the way a case ought to work, see. If they don't,
it's a personal affront. It means that they're running down
your ability and your magnetism. They're running down your
understanding. They're avoiding you. They don't mean
business. They came in there to be hit, be kicked in the
shins. They're motivator hungry. They don't know where they
are. They don't want to know where they are. They're
uncooperative. Hell with them. Complete. I mean, you get a
lot further with a completely unreasonable attitude. Sure,
you're perfectly willing to be a preclear that can't see,
can't feel, can't hear. As a matter of fact mock yourself
up as one. You do? Now mock yourself up as one that can.
Okay, you can. All right, that's fine. I mean, if you had
this completely unserious sort of an outrageous attitude
about it, oh, you'd be a hell of an auditor, believe me.

The funny part of it is, is years ago I had a technique,
you might say, whereby I asked the fellow to do this, to do
that, do something else, do something else. He couldn't do
these things, see. I'd get up, I'd take a look at him, I
would be stunned, I would be amazed, I would be shocked.
I'd walk out on the front steps and I would sit down with
my chin in the palm of my hand just to get some air, just
to cool off. This guy would be sitting there wondering
what the hell was going on. I'd finally just give him a
long communication lag. "Well, how can you live? Frankly,
how can you live? What business have you got coming to see
me? How could you walk up the steps? Now, do you want to
try this over again, see if you can do a little better? All
right, sit down on the chair. Okay, shut your eyes. Now,
let's take a look at any scene you can see. Okay? Now let's
take a look at your mother's face."

"Um-hum, um-hum. Yeah, I can see it. I can see it." "Take a
look at your father's face." "Oh no, he was..."

"What? Take a look at your father's face again. You can't
see your father... Oh, my God!" Walk outside and sit down
on the steps again.

Actually, every now and then I'd get a preclear who thought
he was going to run me around in circles, see, and I had
no tolerance with his aberration, no patience with it or
anything else.

Now, you've got to be careful how you work this. If you did
this to a psycho, he'd just sit there in the middle of the
floor and say, "Well, I really am crazy," and go on in and
spin. But this is just a little gag technique. It has no
great workability at all. The only thing it does is crowd
on the force. It's a very good attitude for you as an
auditor to have, not necessarily good for the preclear. You
understand that there could be processes that were terribly
good for the auditor and awfully hard on the preclear.
Shooting is one of them.

All right. When we go into this problem of viewpoints, what
was wrong with this fellow who wouldn't see his mother's
face or father's face or something of the sort? He was
just unwilling to assume that viewpoint. He was scared
something would happen to him. And in view of the fact all
you're trying to do is get somebody to change his mind,
there are many ways that you can make somebody change his mind.

Now, how could you sneak up on this? How could you sneak up
on it? "Okay, now let's see. Let's check over some people
that you wouldn't mind - if you had to, if you had the
opportunity - let's check over some people you wouldn't mind
creating. Check over some people that you wouldn't be
ashamed of having created. Come on now, let's get one."

And the case that's having a rough time will just say, "My
God, somebody I wouldn't mind having created, oh, oh, oh
nobody hunan. Uh... dogs, no. Horses-oh, damn horses.
Let's see. Anything I can create." Finally he'll say, "I
wouldn't have minded having created Christ." Something on
that order.

"All right, let's get another one." "Let's see, let's see.
Well, maybe... maybe Thomas Edison. Yeah, I wouldn't have
minded having created Thomas Ed-"

By the way, your preclear about this time is liable to come
into the possession of some of the most horrible somatics
that he's ever had just on that process. "Just check off
some persons you wouldn't mind having created." A person
who can't assume other viewpoints readily, of course, can't
think of any. He doesn't want to have created any of them.
Hell with the whole lot of them, see.

Now, there's one method of sneaking up on a case. Another
method: "What would be the..." - just going in for gunshot
methods, what would be the super method of all methods -
"What would it be safe for you to know?" That is a Straightwire 
question. I asked a person this question four or five times 
just in fun one night when I was experimenting a little bit, 
and I just asked him this question in fun and he went over it. 
And I didn't think he was getting anything out of it at all 
but he was sick the next day. He called up for some sympathy, 
and so I said, "You don't mean it." So I straightwired him a 
little while longer, and we ran the somatic on through, whatever 
had happened on the thing, and straightened him up.

But that's a sneaker. It's funny that there are several of
these little sneakers. around that you could ask a preclear
and he would innocently answer them, and it'd make him
sicker than a horse. Horses are ordinarily sick. I know
that by reading colloquial dictionaries. Everybody gets
sicker than a horse. So obviously horses are quite sick.

Anyway, we get into a point where preclears are as sick as
they will not assume other viewpoints. And their ARC
triangle is as good as they are willing to assume other
viewpoints. And their freedom is as great as they do not
add conditions to viewpoints. Every time you add a
condition it's a symptom of fear. So, there you are. That
means somebody is withdrawing in the face of many other
viewpoints - sooner or later he's going to have to assume
those viewpoints in order to be alive at all.

You might say extreme individuation is produced by nothing
more nor less than being presented with detestable
viewpoints. A person becomes an individual and becomes
individuated, you might say, to that degree - this is
stimulus-response individuation; you know, compulsive,
obsessive individuation - to the degree that he has been
confronted with detestable viewpoints. That would make the
greatest man and the most famous man alive that man who had
been consistently confronted with the most detestable
viewpoints.

No thetan in his right mind, unless he is well outside the
body, would ever think of making a body famous, or
terrifically individual or enormously individuated, because
that's silly, that's a silly thing to do. Set yourself up
as a target. Well, you sure must be wanting in randomity to
set yourself up as a target for all existence. Anybody that
cares to review this should look over some of the more
aberrated personalities of our times.

Well, let's take one. Let's take Eisenhower. Now, that
surprises you. I mean, he's currently the president of the
United States of America. Now, as the president of the
United States ... Of course, he is the president of the
United States. It has nothing to do with his official
position. It just has to do with his personal beingness.
Here is a man who is a very small man, and he pushed
himself up through all the ranks and he pushed himself on
up further and further and further and further and further.
Well, the further he gets up the line the less rational he
operates. Look at his career and you'll find out that he's
now politically taking his finger off of his number
occasionally. He gave a speech on the radio the other day,
try and convince everybody that an economic depression had
set into the United States. Did you hear that speech?
Fascinating. There is no depression in the United States.
The only way you would really get into power in the United
States is to produce one. Fascinating. 

We've got atom bombs, H-bombs going off down here in the
South Pacific like chains of Chinese fire crackers. Why?
You got a cloudy day today by the way just because of the
concussion wave of the last A-bomb that went off

You think. I'm kidding and that people are being real
hashed up about the weather and so on. The government is
trying to get some backlash on this, saying "Well, the atom
bomb can't effect the weather." The amount of rain that can
be induced by target practice with naval cannon is quite
measurable. What is it all about? I mean, you just send
condensation and condensation-rarefaction waves through the
atmosphere at a great rate of speed, and you naturally will
produce changes in the particles of the atmosphere. This
isn't even vaguely difficult to understand. So you explode
something only four or five thousand miles from here, of
the sudden shock enough to wipe out a whole island and
it'll naturally throw a concussion wave through the Earth,
much less through the air.

There was a mountain that blew up down in the South Pacific
that actually didn't blow up with any greater - Krakatoa, I
think the name of the mountain was. It blew up with
considerable violence. It simply exploded. But actually
there was really no more mass involved than was involved
with the disappearance of that atoll that went up with the
last H-bomb. About the same volume of mass and yet the
world had red sunsets after Krakatoa exploded for about
fifteen or twenty years. It took that long for the dust to
settle out of the atmosphere. Well, if you don't think that
an H-bomb can change the weather for you and give you, five
or six hours after its explosion, even, a cloudy day
whereby you had a clear bright day before, you'd better go
back and read about Krakatoa and what it did to the
weather. Boy, it changed weather all over the place.

Actually, if you'd been very alert and had known the exact
instant the bomb was going off and you had experienced - you
know, known the exact moment, your time, that that last
H-bomb was going off - if you'd been very, very careful to 
be very observing, and if you'd stood in your bare feet
someplace where the ground is not otherwise moving, you
could have felt the thing go off

I mean, it was... it's big. It knocks all the
seismographs off of their pins. The Geiger counters at
Harvard blow up and fuse out every time they blow one. And
a little Geiger counter which I've got - always have a
little fun with the newspapers by calling up and asking
very indignantly about the A-bomb. "Has there been an
attack on New York?" I normally say or something of this
sort just to get them upset. Because the little Geiger
counter I've got sitting up there - whenever one of these
things goes off - all you have to do, you know, is seal it
so that if anything activates it you know it's been
activated. You come back and take a look at it. You know
that there's been some radioactive material someplace or
another, because its needle's gone off its pins. Well, that
little thing the other day went whir, click and broke
itself. Just a little Geiger counter, it doesn't amount 
to anything. Send the government a bill, I guess.

Anyway, here you have somebody that's in there, he's really
trying, see, he's got to rrrrr... Nobody quite believes
he's president. They probably believed he was a general.
But he's getting more backlash from the US than he could
possibly stand up to. For instance, they have a big
starvation of cattle and all of that sort of thing, you
know, and they had... Remember that? And he didn't even
give anybody any help. They just cancelled all the
Democratic Party programs and everything else just
suddenly. Nobody gave any food to it and the beef got upset
and so forth. Well, boy, right about that time, when he
took his finger off his number, he started getting
backlash. You're going to find this boy... And this is
just a little prediction. He's only been in office a year
now. We got a three-ring circus and three years to go. Now,
I don't want this publicly quoted, that's why I'm putting
it on tape. We've got three years with a little man who had
to be famous, and they're going to be rough.

In the first place, what's the training of a general? Well,
somebody comes up and says, "Well, I don't feel like
working today. Think I'll go play golf" A general says,
"Sir, you will report to your quarters and hold yourself
under arrest for the convenienation of the court-martial
board." Private doesn't polish his shoes, "Shoot him."

As a matter of fact, this guy Eisenhower shot the only
American soldier to be shot for desertion since 1854,
something on that order, way back, some such date. In a
century nobody has shot a soldier for desertion, and
Eisenhower during the last war heard of an isolated case,
little guy by the name of Slovik. He up and had him shot,
just like that, boom. "Got to make that... got to make that
postulate stick, see. What I say goes."

Well, the American public don't happen to be soldiers,
they're not even good privates. When you get them in as
officers you tear your hair out by the roots. You say, "How
can this happen to an army or a navy?" Fellow comes in,
throws his golf clubs in the corner of his stateroom and
comes out on deck in a pair of sneakers and an old cap and
thinks he's on a yachting trip, and the odd part of it is
the guy will get his job done.

Well, what's the dismay of somebody who is accustomed to
complete obedience all through the years of his life, who
says to the American public, "Now, what we want is a
reduced consumption of lollipops because our production of
lollipops is something or other..." And the American public
says, "Where's some more lollipops," see, chomp-chomp-chomp. 
"Now, I want you all to cooperate so that we won't have 
anymore deflationary inflation," and so forth. Everybody says, 
"What's that the guy... the loud voice over there someplace, 
hah-hah-hah." They don't want anything to do with it. They're 
not soldiers and this is going to drive that boy mad before 
he gets through. That's just a little prediction. This is 1954, 
look at it in 1957. Just make you a little bet, unless somebody 
does the same for him as they did for the last president.

The... you should know that the psychiatrist in charge of
the case of the last president was a deep student of
Dianetics, and never missed getting a single publication or
book from the Foundation. And when you saw Truman, if you
saw the Democratic convention, you saw a little man walk up
there, bouncing, "Well, let's all get the show on the
road," he was saying. You know, lots of pep and so forth.
You know, most presidents come out of the White House
saying, "Where's the sidewalk?" I don't say that Truman was
processed all the way through to Release; he was only
processed halfway or something. But I don't say he had any
processing at all. It just is a mysterious thing that the
psychiatrist who was treating him was one of my best pupils.

Anyway, we get into a problem when we get somebody getting
up into these altitudes, you see. Now, I'm not talking to
you politically - to hell with politics. I might as well be
talking about Tiberius or Augustus or Julius Caesar or any
other top dog or Menshikov or Stalinovich or Kaiser Bill or
Hitler or Mussolini or any one of these boys. They've all
done the same thing, you see. They get up there - strata,
strata, strata, strata, strata. See? "They won't obey so
I'll make them obey." So that puts them up another rank.
"Oh, they won't obey here, so I'll make them obey." That
puts them up another rank. "Oh, they won't obey here, so
I've got to go up another rank. They won't obey here, so
I've got to go another..." The only reason they don't
attend to and achieve the high station of God is because
they don't live that long ordinarily. You see, they don't
live long enough to get promoted up to that point. That'd
be the only real reason.

And this doesn't say that every person in command is a dog.
Only 99 percent of them are dogs. So let's not make this a
blanket statement. I don't like to be known for careless
statements - only 99 percent.

These people get up to this level on their own, being
driven in. That is the type of personality which becomes
Hitler, which goes up... Any man who goes up through the
military is, of course, compounding the felony
continually. You see, he doesn't have to accept that next
rank. He doesn't have to. He gets a letter, it says, "You
are now hereby promoted and so on." Well, he can look at
the captain of his ship. The old man has ulcers, he has a
furrowed brow, gray hair, he's in horrible shape, he's
about to cave in. He looks at this old fellow, you see, and
he wants a promotion to that man's rank? The guy must be
crazy, and yet they grab them, they take their examination,
they worry and fuss. Well, they say "More money." Yeah, but
the more money he gets the more things he'll have, and the
more things he possesses the more trouble they'll get him into.

This is the MEST universe at work. Let's get a higher rank,
a greater order, let's be more thoroughly identified. In
other words, let's be less free and more nailed down and
specialized in that viewpoint. See this? What's this all
add up to? Whether it's Eisenhower or Hitler or Augustus,
who does it add up to? It adds up to a fellow who, "I must
be the only one who possesses this viewpoint. I am the
only one who can possess this viewpoint and I have to be
very, very altitudinous and senior to my fellows before I
can have any space at all. If I were down there pitching
with you kids," you see, the guy is saying all the time,
"If I was in there pitching with you kids, if I was in
there with you sailors," something of that sort, "why, I
couldn't have any space because you'd block all my space out."

Well, supposing this guy didn't have that sort of a
complex. He's liable to be the happiest-go-luckiest sailor
you ever want to walk into, you know. Somebody come along
and say, "How about promoting you to brigadier admiral of
the rear-rank echelon," or something. He'd say, "Are you
nuts? What do I want all that viewpoint for? I got all the
space I need right here," see. But the fellow who doesn't
have any space right where he is has got to move in ranks,
upward. The fellow who doesn't have any space where he is
has got to move upward on a higher echelon.

Now, every once in a while, quite by accident, you get
another condition taking place. Somebody is thrown up into
an altitudinous position. This happens politically every
once in a while. He says, "Gee whiz, you mean somebody's
gotta occupy this post? Oh no. You mean nobody'll be
premier?" "Oh, you have to go in and be premier, Joe." "Oh
no, uh-huh." "Look, you better go in and be premier.
There's nobody else going to be premier, and nobody else
can take it, and nobody else will, and so on, there's got
to be one." And he looks around and he sees that this is
fairly well true so he goes in and is premier.

Only you'll find out that when this fellow is being premier
that the number of white gloves which are used to open the
doors for him, and the number of rose carpets which are
being spread for him to walk across sidewalks - which should
be, you know, according to the national budget - are
strangely missing from the treasurer's expenditure list.
Why? He's not trying to be just another fellow and just an
"everyday Joe" or anything like that. It's just
incomprehensible to him that he could be anything else.

Now, get that viewpoint. The politician who tries to be
successful tries to mock up this mock-up, see. He tries to
echo this mock-up. Hail fellow well met and so forth and
goes around and kisses all the babies, and so forth, and,
aw, he's just sour. He'll get away with it now that we have
TV and nobody can shake the guy actually by the hand. They
just look at him in phosphorescent screens. They say, "Well
look, he's a human being. He has a nose and everything.
He's a jolly fellow." They wait till after he's elected to
start digging up stuff about him. That's because by this
time they've found out that he isn't quite this jolly
fellow they thought, you know.

But the easiest guy to know you ever wanted to know, the
easiest guy to know, is certainly the guy who can take
yours and everybody else's viewpoint and he doesn't give a
damn. See that? He can still take a viewpoint of
responsibility. He can sit at an executive desk and do one
whale of a job of the whole thing. Do ten times as much
work as somebody else who is super worried and aberrated
and conditional about everything. He can do this job. He'd
also just as soon go back in the galley and sit down and
eat pie. You see that - this difference? He'd just as soon
drive his own car. Somebody says, "Well now..." This guy is
made general manager or something or other just because he
artlessly has accidentally happened to do more work than
anybody else around in the joint, and the stockholders all
of a sudden drafted him for general manager and he's
general manager.

Well, up to this time the general manager of the plant has
had eighteen hot and cold running secretaries, and he's had
a chauffeur and he's had this and he's had that. And we
give this guy... This guy goes out and here's the general
manager's car and there's a fellow sitting there at the
wheel. And he opens up the chauffeur's door and he steps in
and he says, "Okay, "he says, "You can go back to the
garage now, I've got it." "No, I'm supposed to drive you."
"Oh, you are, why? Uh...Oh, .uh... oh, yeah. Well, sit over
there; we'll go for a drive." Next thing you know the
employees are seeing their general manager driving around.
Finally, he doesn't like that car very much. It's
completely dissimilar sort of a car to anybody else's car.
It doesn't behave well, anyhow. You're liable to see him
riding around there on a scooter.

It's fantastic what such men can do with men. Fantastic.
I've seen it take place. There was an old three striper - he
just never could seem to fill out all the papers necessary
to get his promotion up to rear admiral of the second upper
echelon or something. Only, during the war - the war came
along and all of a sudden hung him with this rank and he
thought it was very funny. He went around his base in a set
of dungarees riding a small scooter. It wasn't that this
fellow neglected his job; he wasn't a hail fellow well met
particularly; and he wasn't a bad guy, not by a long ways.

His son, for instance, brought the cruiser San Francisco
through the whole Japanese battle line and brought her out.
He wasn't even supposed to be in charge. It's just that
everybody was dead, and... except the senior officer of the
ship who stayed in the engine room keeping the engines
running while this young fellow up on the bridge, seeing
as he had command of the thing, ably fought the ship out of
a very, very rough position. It was one of the famous
actions of World War II down in the South Pacific. 

Well, his pop ran the very best base you ever wanted to
see. The old man was really terrific. But don't think...
You see, he was perfectly capable of raising a good son and
getting his son the responsibility in life. He didn't
over-mass this kid so that this kid is always pushing this
way and that. No, the kid does his job when he has to do
it. If there's something to be done, do it. Don't think the
old man was soft either. He wasn't soft.

Every once in a while he'd ride up alongside of some
enlisted man that's standing there watching a job to be done
with his hands in his pockets and he'd say, "What unit do
you belong to, son?" And the kid, you know, new on the base
turn around and see this old duffer probably warrant
officer or something of the sort riding this scooter,
dungarees, no rank, and he'd say, "Oh, I just got in on the
late draft," and so forth.

And he'd say, "Well, why don't we lend a hand with this?"
And kid would grab on to one end of a girder while the old
man grab on to another end of the girder and finish up
piling the girders or something like that. Or the kid would
say, "Oh, I don't feel like working."

"Well, that's fine. You got ten days bread and water." And
the whole thing was real casual.

Well, there is somebody who is somebody. I wonder what the
characteristic was of some of the most famous able people
in history. There have been lots of famous naval people in
naval history, but there's one fellow who seems to outshine
all the rest - a fellow by the name of John Paul Jones.

What sort of a character did this man have? Did he have the
kind of a character you read of... you are led to think by
reading what the US Naval Academy handbooks and so forth
write about him? Nope. John Paul, who was the first boy to
really lick a first-rate British ship, who put the American
Navy on the map, who was the only person to invade the
British Isles since practically twelve hundred and
something or maybe the Norman Conquest. John Paul Jones you
know made a complete invasion of Great Britain, burned a
harbor and everything else. Nobody ever did that.

This guy - what sort of a personality did this man have?
Well, he certainly wasn't sold on John Paul Jones. This
wasn't the only person alive. As a matter of fact, it was
very hard to get him to find out there was John Paul Jones
there. You'd find him at sea down in the 'tween decks,
teaching the midshipmen how to dance properly because the
young man ought to be a gentleman, and a gentleman knows
how to dance properly. And you would find him up there
running a small contest with the steersman showing that he
could get the ship closer to the wind than the steersman or
the steersman showing him he could get the ship closer to
the wind than John Paul. Or he'd be up forward refereeing a
game of backgammon or some such game. He was all over the
ship. Nobody knew where the hell he'd turn up next. The
whole ship was alive, the whole thing from stem to stern
was alive. Any ship he ever commanded was alive. The amount
of military discipline which he handed out was so slight as
to be undetectable beyond one case.

A fellow... While he was a merchant captain, a fellow down
in the West Indies charged him and was about to do him in
and so forth and he shot the guy. He didn't consult
regulations of the merchant marine and say, "Let's see,
under these circumstances you re supposed to shoot
somebody." No, somebody was going to deal him in so he just
shot the guy. This haunted his career for some time because
he had many enemies. He was so able that, of course, he was
utterly detestable to early American naval officers.

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just being truthful. He many
times lost his seniority on the captains lists, and so on.
This upset him because you had to have seniority in order
to get to sea to fight the enemy. And he was having a good
time fighting the British. I actually don't think he was
ever once mad at the British. This fellow didn't care
anything about it. We find him ending up his career, by the
way, in Paris, perfectly comfortable.

Did you know he was also a vice-admiral in Catherine the
Great's navy? He was quite a boy. I mean, he was all over
the place, everybody.

This is the sort of an excited being the person who can see
any viewpoint, be any viewpoint... By the way, he once
challenged the secretary of the navy to a duel. He didn't
like what the secretary was doing, so he sent him a
challenge. First man to do that. Quite remarkable. Here is
certainly a person who is acting individualistically, but
he isn't an "individual." Now, do you get the difference
between the two things? In other words, he can assume a
clear, precise viewpoint anyplace as anything. He can
assume this as a clear, precise viewpoint. He keeps a game
running, but the great glory and the terrific responsibility 
of being him always kind of seems to miss him. He never quite 
catches up with that one.

Well, when we point out a character - you're not trying to
tailor make any preclear into a particular set of
characteristics. Didn't mean to run in on you so much level
of personality, but I think it's necessary to this degree:
Have there been great men who succeeded, who could be
everybody and didn't give a damn for themselves? Yes, there
have been. They just happen to be. This is an entirely
different thing than the fellow who just can't bear to be
with that crowd, and he's got to move back a step, and to a
higher rank. And the fellow who can't bear to be that crowd
and so he's got to leave a putsch on Rome, you know. He's
got to get in there and say, "Let's all do and die for the
Romans and particularly me." And he isn't the sort of a
fellow who just can't stand being a corporal so he becomes
a dictator.

Those guys all fail. Now, let me call this to your
attention very sharply. Every one of these boys, regardless
of whether their names are Mussolini or Pilchinski
[Pilsudski], if they are under a terrible compulsion to
relieve themselves upward to where they don't have to
associate with their fellow man, where they can command
their fellow man, they fail, inevitably. They do not win;
they don't win their campaigns, they don't win their goals.
They fall down, they become ill, they are very messy
people. And there you get your Mussolinis and your Hitlers
and your worldwide revolutions.

Stalin had every opportunity to go on governing Russia with
three companions, and he murdered three of them in cold
blood because he couldn't stand the competition. This
fellow murdered about ten million rnuzhiks, this Stalin.
Murdered. He's thinking about it, you know, occasionally,
he says, "Well, maybe it didn't have to be that many, but
it probably did have to be," and so forth. Here's a leader,
for instance, who has actually put his country in a
terribly interesting political position. Of course, he
hasn't made it any worse, it couldn't get worse, really, at
any time. He apparently has done so much, but at the same
time he has destroyed tremendous quantities of liberty for
other people.

So there are your slave masters of the world. They are the
people who cannot tolerate other viewpoints. And if they
can't tolerate other viewpoints, they have to control other
viewpoints. So we have two types of personality, one which
is upscale and one which is definitely downscale. One which
wins and the other which definitely fails. One which brings
greater peace, harmony and happiness to man, and one which
brings him only misery and degradation. Those are the two
distinct personalities.

That man who can be a great man and at the same time assume
every other viewpoint there is, is really a great man. And
that man who assumes other viewpoints simply because time
after time he finds his position untenable is not a great
man; he's a failure. He has compulsively become something
because there was no other choice. He couldn't have any
space occupying the strata of a common, ordinary,
run-of-the-mill human being; he couldn't win that way so he
had to figure out some other way, so that he goes on up the
line.

Now, there's your two different levels of operation.
They're very distinct. Well, observe these in your
preclear, please. The preclear that is having a rough time
with his case is finding his current position untenable
after having found many other positions untenable. The
dwindling spiral of his case was this - and this is true 
of every human being alive even though he's a great
personality he still has found that this is the case:
somewhere or other down the track he has learned that one
human being after another or one being after another had a
viewpoint which he himself couldn't tolerate. He has run
into viewpoints which were detestable to him - "It's very
bad over that way" kind of viewpoints. He's gotten
viewpoint after viewpoint that he has been unwilling to
have, and so has cut himself off viewpoint after viewpoint
after viewpoint after viewpoint to a point where he can't
look at anything anymore. And anybody who's having trouble
with looking in any way, shape or form, has occlusions or
anything of the sort, just has too many viewpoints which he
can't bear the thought of becoming. Can't bear the thought
of being those viewpoints.

There's your diagnosis on a case. If you're going to
diagnose a case, any way, shape or form... Many mechanical
ways to do it. You can say numerical positions on the Tone
Scale, you can say this, you can say that about cases, you
can go on and on about cases, but you can't better really
this one, and that is his viewpoint.

There are two tests actually, but one test is certainly not
testable by his fellow man. Viewpoints is testable. We can
find out how many viewpoints can this individual tolerate.
And not compulsively but by his own choice. And we look
over and find out that it's a very great many.

But there is another one, is what he knows. What he's
willing to know is another test. But that's not a usable
test because it doesn't exist within space, it doesn't
exist within energy and therefore does not exist within
data. So we can't make up a whole bunch of data and say to
somebody, "Now, what of these data are you willing to know
about?" and get any kind of a conclusive test out of it at
all. We wouldn't be able to do that. We're just giving a
bunch of artificials and so forth, and you'd find that
cases would be very ragged. If anybody ever tries to set
this up, he'll find'out that it could be made to look very
good and is really poor. That is the test of comparable
knowingness. How much does a person know or how much is he
willing to know, and that in itself is a test of tone,
greatness, other things, you know, strength.

Now, over here, however, is the reliable one: How many
viewpoints can this individual tolerate? And that's the one
you're interested in. And if you're real smart, you'll just
start in on your preclear every once in a while - as you
run him, you'll ask him, "Okay, think of a detestable
viewpoint. Okay, get the idea of being it." Watch his
reaction, watch the meter; pretty soon as he gets better
and better he has less and less objection. Well, this
doesn't mean that you're pounding him down into apathy
about it. That's what he's liable to diagnose if he were to
have this explained to him. He'd say, "Look, he's getting
me so apathetic that I'm deserting my own personality and
he's making me forcibly tolerate, gee, the viewpoint of
horrible people like, oh, I don't know, prostitutes and
doctors and, and, and... jugglers. Oh, this person... look 
how this auditor is forcing me down." You never give him a 
chance to even say that because he doesn't analyze what you're 
doing. He doesn't really think about it too much, as a preclear. 
You've got this boy capable and willing of assuming... I said 
capable and willing to assume any viewpoint in the universe, 
and brother, you've got him capable. Because that's about the 
most capability there is.

I'm not trying to teach you now how to be a chameleon. I'm
not trying to give you the philosophy of turn your coat
when you find it unhandy to wear it the other way over.
That's not the same thing at all. You know, every once in a
while somebody's come along to you and said, "Well, you
have to be able to see the other fellow's side of things."
Anybody ever tell you that? Well, they were enforcing a
viewpoint on you. They just... you've just got through with
this guy and he said, "Well, I think your throat ought to
be cut," and you're kind of fond of your throat. And your
mother came along and said, "Well, everybody's entitled to
their viewpoint, and you should take this other viewpoint."
She didn't even know what they were talking about, you see.
You're having it forced on you that you ought to assume
other people's viewpoints. And so you negate against it,
and there we go down spiral, negating against other
viewpoints. We don't want them.

Truth of the matter is, all control really consists of; the
most superlative control there is, is being able to assume
any viewpoint. Somebody's having trouble with his liver,
ask him to assume the viewpoint of his liver. If he's
willing to have the viewpoint of his liver, his liver will
get well. If he's unwilling to have the viewpoint of his
liver, it will stay ill or get sicker. That's the final
test. It will even work on psychosomatic ills.

Okay.
