FREEZONE BIBLE ASSOCIATION TECH POST



TRANSCRIPT OF THE CLEARING CONGRESS 5/12





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.



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 the Christians are not good and obedient Jews and yet

are allowed 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

The Clearing Congress Lectures

		THE FREEDOMS OF CLEAR





Thank you!  Well, do we have a Congress yet?  Well, good!  How are you making 

out?  I have no doubt that what you will be making out better after you've 

had some seminars.  You realize we have Upper Indocs for the seminar this 

time.  It was my idea.  The.... you know, just as an aside here, there's no 

real reason why we might not some day, some far-distant future, develop a 

group Clearing technique.  It's possible, not very probable, but possible.  

The results which are obtained in a group intensive are quite excellent when 

very competent auditors are auditing, for instance, Nibs and Dick, and I 

think, Burk, and one other auditor,... Hal, were in this last group intensive 

and they did a very fine job.  They really got somewhere.  I don't know if 

you can see this or not (showing an APA graph)  but that blue line is where 

they was, and that red line is where they went.  so they did go somewhere on 

one of these graphs by reason of group intensive.  It's .... group processing 

shouldn't be undersold, undersold.  It is an assist to Clearing but is not 

itself Clearing at this time.  People only do a few thousand percent better 

after they've been through processes for a while, and we expect a more 

significant gain than that for Clearing.



Now, the whole idea of Clearing people, getting off into a run here, the whole 

idea of Clearing people is not making nothing out of them, and it really isn't 

setting them free.  It's simply, making them more capable and more able and 

increasing in particular, watch this carefully, their creativeness, and 

increasing in particular, their tolerance.



There are four freedoms, we have been told from another decade, and these four 

freedoms were all very well, but they were not do-able.  We have four freedoms 

today in Scientology that are very do-able.  Clearing does not mean that the 

individual is free from this universe or its liabilities.  It merely means, 

he can cope with them.  That's a little bit different from a standpoint of 

average man, you know, you get somebody who can throw his shoulders back.  

In Clearing people we do achieve these four freedoms,

 and I'll enumerate them for you here.  They're freedom froms, I'm afraid.



The first one is illness.  Now that's quite remarkable since illness has 

been considered an indoor sport here for a number of years (laugh).  If you 

can't do anything else to get attention from somebody, or to get out of 

something, you can always get sick.  But medical science has been ending 

this rather rapidly and, as a matter of fact, even Dianetics put a large 

dent into it.  Seventy percent of man's ills are psychosomatic, and a good 

auditor, auditing out the right engrams, got people well.  People who are Clear 

don't get sick as often.  That doesn't mean that if you, probably, inject them 

with a tremendous number of bacteriaof one kind or another, and the body would 

get sick, but the person wouldn't.  I've had more Clears say this to me, they 

say this to me, they say, they say the difficulties are very simple, the body 

is sick and I'm not.  I say, how do you feel?  The fellow's going around 

cough ... cough ... cough ...  I say, how are you doing?  How do you feel?  

I feel great ... cough ... cough ... cough ... (chuckle).  I say, what's the 

matter?  Well, the body has a touch of flu or something and I feel fine, and 

so on.  Now this means that bodies continue to be subject to such things as 

trains running into them, and bacteria poured into them from the unwashed 

spoons of the cafe, and such things.  But to this illness is not added the 

perpetuation of the person himself, see.  He doesn't perpetuate the 

psychosomatic aspect.  All illness has a psychosomatic aspect.  I believe 

that in Operating Thetan, at that level, you'd be able to take a body and 

smash it up against the wall and it would bounce down in good shape, and it 

would be in perfect condition.  That is a higher condition.  We have not 

experienced that condition, and we are talking about Clearing.  I remind you, 

we are not talking about anything that we don't know about, I can only tell 

you what happens.  Now, the funny thing about it is, you Clear somebody and 

for about two, three months after that, the body tries to get used to not 

having to be sick, and the guy goes around and he starts shelving this and 

shelving that and one day he gets up in the morning and all of a sudden the 

pneumonia he had ten years ago, goes ffft ...  He'd be perfectly alright but 

the body goes through a period of self-adjustment there for about, I don't 

know exactly what the period is on the average, but as reported, it's about 

ninety days.  As the person himself gets Clear, then the body starts clearing, 

see, all by itself.  I'm talking now, the body is clearing physiological 

aspects.  It's straightening itself up physiologically, not mental 

physiologically, see.  



I don't know then whether or not it would be an immediate truth to say that 

the physical universe, oh boy, am I telling you a lie now, I don't know if 

it would be true that the physical universe around the person would start 

to straighten up too (chuckle). I can only tell you that very aberrated people 

have very aberrated machinery.  Their machinery breaks down.  You get the 

famous case that we always speak about, Joe Blow.  You give Joe Blow a brand 

new car, in perfect condition.  It has been adjusted withinan inch of its name 

plate on all factors and facets.  He gets in the car, - starter - RRRRR ... 

RRRR ... RRow... RRow - battery runs down.  Batteries have never run down 

before on any new car that just came out of the plant but it ran down then, 

and he runs  it for a few miles and all of a sudden it's developed torsion 

steering (laugh).  You go down to a used car lot, you can actually take cars 

that have been owned by one owner, and you can diagnose the case state of their 

former owners.



Now, in some under privileged countries in the world that have been very badly 

beaten around, it is as much as your life's worth, to leave a piece of machinery 

lying around for anybody to get at, because it will go - Boom.  It doesn't 

matter how many lend-lease tractors, it doesn't matter how much tonnage of 

equipment is poured into the country, it's going to break down.  That's what 

you can say about it.  During the war, during the war it was quite interesting 

that tons and tons of butter were shipped to starving Russia, taken up on 

the Mermansk run, at great expense of US corvettes and British corvettes and 

German submarines.  Remember, they were an expensive item too.  And, when they 

arrived, why the Russians used it to grease the tanks with.  That's quite 

interesting.  I'm not telling you anything, now, I just dreamed up, they did.  

That's what they used our butter for - it tasted sweet, it didn't have any 

particular rancid flavor, and there were no hairs in it - and so they knew 

it wasn't butter (chuckle).  But butter under heat is not a good lubricant;  

if you've ever tried to fry steak, or something like that, in butter in a 

skillet that's too hot, it burns and so did the tanks. 



So, it isn't exactly a mental aura we're talking about. You know, they actually 

do odd things and one of the characteristics of aberration is to mis-use 

equipment.  You use a fork, not to eat with or turn things in a frying pan 

with, but to hold the door open with.  And, you go around some places, you'll 

find out that the equipment is all mis-used one way or the other - shoes are 

stored in the ice box - all kinds of things are occurring, but this is what 

you see in an under privileged country that is rather aberrated on the average, 

that's what you see.



But I'm not just talking about that when I talk about area of influence of 

a person.  I'm actually talking about an esoteric, exotic, incomprehensible, 

not measurable sphere of calm that can surround somebody, or a sphere of 

confusion that can surround somebody, that actually affects the environment.  

I'm sure you've had a person who has come to see you ... you've had other 

people come to see you and everything was okay when you put the dinner on the 

table, and they sat down and everything, why, dinner got eaten and everybody 

got up after, you know, dishes got done, that sort of thing.  You had a nice 

evening, you know, a nice dinner.  This person we're discussing, however, comes 

to dinner, now they didn't even go near the stove, but for the first time in 

months, the rice boiled over, the soup burned, the best crockery fell on the 

floor, they weren't even near the kitchen, and they sit down at the table, 

you know, and half the things are missing or there's too many of them, and 

they don't hit the plates, they hitthe tablecloth.  You get the idea?  and 

half way through dinner there's a tremendous emergency that requires that 

you not finish dinner.  There's... just things go wrong, the one thing we 

can say about these people, things go wrong, and it doesn't physically, 

evidently, take anything to make them go wrong, they just do.  Now if we take 

the converse of this, there are people around whom things go right.  A person 

moves in, things start going right.  The person doesn't do anything, just 

things start going right.  Get the idea?  



I can give you an example of that.  I knew a young officer ... I'm awfully 

hard on Ensigns because they cost me my life several times (laugh) and they 

.. these few tiny little grey hairs up there, each one of them's an Ensign 

.. failing to put ammunition aboard, failing to put the charts aboard, you 

know that sort of thing, telling the crew they could all have liberty one 

hour before sailing, you know this sort of thing.    But this young man came 

from California of all things, you wouldn't expect it, but he did and he was a 

rather plump, calm young fellow, and up to that time the ship had never been 

able to get any supplies except if I, myself, would apply for them.  But he 

walked aboard and all of a sudden we were wealthy.  People just walked down 

the deck with five gallon cans of paint and hand them to us, you know.  Over 

at the ammunition depot they'd say, you're sure you have enough ammunition?  

We were wealthy.  This young man, I might as well say his name, his name was 

Ensign Dye.  Very unlikely that he would have a name like that and would make 

things live to the degree that he did.  But things lived around this person. 

There are other persons, you'd give him a plant, it would promptly go - zzzt 

(drooping).  You give somebody else a plant, it would go - zzzoom (soaring up).  

You say, good god let's get rid of that before it fills the room, you know 

- just thrives.  



Now when we're talking about those things, we're talking about sphere of 

influence, direct sphere of influence, not via mest.  This person is actually 

influencing mest, events, matter, energy, space, and time, one way or another.  

I've known a person that could never be on time for anything even though they 

left two hours early.  This person ordinarily left to take a train two hours 

early.  He had the whole family sitting down in the waiting room at the depot 

for two hours before the train left, and then miss it.  I said to this person 

once, I said, how do you manage this?  and the person looked very thoughtful 

and then came out of it all of a sudden and realized that I was coming in a 

little too close.  Now similarly there are people ...... You see if we're 

talking about the physical universe and zone of enturbulation, a body of course 

is a close up area, and a body without much causation can simply get sick, 

by being in such a zone.  I have known nurses, much as your life was worth to 

have one on the case, they walk in, the temperature soars.  Harry Leon Wilson, 

Ruggles of Red Gap, one of, one of the better old time writers of novels and 

things, wrote one called  "Oh Doctor", I think the name of the thing was, and 

he had a Black Watch Mary, I think her name was, and she comes in on the case, 

picks up the thermometer along side of the bed, shoves it in the patient's 

mouth, takes it out - sneers- throws the thermometer in the waste basket.  

Takes out her own, whips it out, shoves it in his mouth, takes it out and reads 

it  - 106 - ah, that's much better (laugh).



Now freedom from illness would then not consist of a running away from illness.  

It would just be a matter of no illness as a result of a enturbulated zone, 

an area of influence.  It would simply be a negative gain that far, but then 

there is a positive thing.  This society gets so sick that it forgets something, 

that there is a positive good.  People think that evil is positive and only 

evil is positive.  That's because you can kill a man so quick and you can mock 

him up so slowly.  For instance, nations, which is no criteria, you can't 

even talk about the insane in a nation in the same breath.  We'll have to 

sensor this film, destroy it some day.  I realize, because the way the world's 

going, why a remark like that would be considered high treason.  But if they 

manage to hide the master and bring it out a few years later, some nation 

will consider it a compliment, that it is not even insane, see, it's further 

off than that.  I don't know why it is but nations do seem to demonstrate an 

individuality which comes close to insanity.  You start to add up the 

characteristics of a nation, do it some time for sport - add up the 

characteristics of a nation, what it does, and then say, what would I think 

of an individual if it did these things.  Well, I'd throw him in .....  

(garbled). 



It takes twenty years to grow a young man so that you throw him away in a 

brief time in a war.  That's an interesting thing, isn't it?  Well, if a 

nation, as aberrated as it is, could mock him up - ping - you see, why it 

wouldn't have this disproportion of positive good and positive evil.  So you 

get - this positive evil would not appear quite so authoritative or quite so 

forceful - but that you spent hours and hours making a cake and people come 

in and go - swish, swish - and then - gulp- no cake.  That appears that evil 

has great authority and that you have to work very, very hard to be good.  

Now, the harder you have to work to produce something, the less creative you 

are.



I love these authors who spend seven years writing a book.  They tell you 

this, to impress you with the fact that this is a good book.  That's not true, 

not true.  I usually tell one of these fellows, if you could just mock up the 

manuscript paper with all the writing on it - pop - that would be the finest 

novel ever written.  They think I'm being funny, it's not true, I am not being 

funny, it's an actual fact.  That you were that good at creativeness, a little 

thing like a plot and characterizations and witty words certainly wouldn't 

bother you any.  In other words, there's positive good, so we get this other 

factor here of a zone of influence where good takes place.  In other words, 

there's positive good here, it isn't just absence of evil, and so we get 

freedom from illness.  We also get proof up against illness by recreation 

of the body member which would become ill very rapidly where we get such a 

zone.  You see, there's a double thing at work here and the modern world has 

lost sight of the positive aspect of good.  



The next thing we put down just for the multitude because any Thetan in his 

right mind doesn't mind a little bit of pain.  It is after all a sensation 

and if you don't believe this, run a little process on somebody sometime.  

Sit him down and then say, waste pain this way, waste pain that way, waste 

pain .... all of a sudden pain appears very valuable to him.  You just have 

him go on a little further, have him run enforced pain for a little while and 

you could, until he gets to agreeing with the society again, take his loose 

skin and pinch it very, very hard and he would say, ah thanks.  That's an 

interesting thing.  But pain is defined a certain way, but if we defined it 

this way - an undesirable sensation -  then we have truth here in saying 

freedom from pain.  Which is saying, freedom from an undesirable sensation.  



The next freedom that we could write down, that Scientology would carry with 

it, is ignorance.  Ignorance contains, of course, a potential to know, doesn't 

it?  We have the old first postulate idea - native state - in which the Thetan 

knows everything and then he has to not-know the whole lot of it so that he 

can know something.  Then he has to know a whole bunch of particulars.  See, 

here he is, he knows everything, he has a potentiality of total knowingness 

and then he has to say, I not-know all of these things.  Then he comes down 

and knows a whole bunch of particulars and now, again, he not-knows these 

particulars.  This we term forgetting,  and after he's got all of that 

suppressed, we get ignorance.  Ignorance goes along with obsessive making 

nothing out of everything.



If you don't believe this, talk someday to a stupid man.  Stupid people are 

not dangerous to have around so much as unnecessary.  Now a stupid person, a 

stupid person can do some of the weirdest things.  The great revolutionaries 

of the world are the very, very bright and the very, very stupid.  Now you 

take somebody who's very, very bright, he could see these various wrongs so he 

says, they ought to be overthrown, and then you get somebody else who's very, 

very stupid and he doesn't see any wrongs.  He just fails to understand 

anything wrong or right.  So he says, I can't understand it therefore it's 

evil and I will overthrow it, and we get a Hitlerian revolt.  You know, we 

got to overthrow everything we do not understand.  



Well, this doesn't carry with it the potentiality of everything being 

understandable.  Don't ever make that mistake.  You know how people convince 

people they're ignorant?  They take something which cannot be understood 

(chuckle) and then they say, "you stupid jerk, why don't you understand this?"  

Isaac Newton did this one time, he invented a thing called calculus (chuckle).  

Now people in colleges, people in colleges prove they're bright by knowing 

calculus.  By knowing exactly what to do with it, exactly how to handle it, 

and everything about calculus, and prove other people are stupid because the 

other people say, this is interesting but does it have any real use, or can 

it be done some other way.  You get the idea?  



Now, calculus is not really a flagrant example.  Let's go upstairs now, into 

something that is drawing big pay  from the government at every side.  Let's 

take psychology.  These people say, "there is a subject here", and then 

people rush in and say, "well teach me a little bit of it" and they say, 

"oh well, it takes years and years and years to understand anything about 

it", and of course, you're stupid because you don't understand anything about 

it;  but it takes so many years to understand something about it, and this 

way nobody ever finds out there's nothing there.  You get what a nice trick 

that is?  It's an interesting trick.



The first thing a science of mind should be able to do is to change minds.  

A science should have a control of an area.  The science of physics certainly 

can change a lot of things within its zone if it expects to be effective, and 

when we say a science, then we have some connotation of effectiveness.  And I 

suppose, there can be an esoteric science which is not effective at all and 

which doesn't treat anything, but it would only be an honest one if it said 

so.  Don't ever make the mistake of believing that you're ignorant simply 

because you do not understand a non- comprehensible, because that's the 

oldest trick in the universe.  



When I'm talking about ignorance, I'm talking about a very mechanical thing.  

I'm talking about the fellow who refuses to know what he has already found 

out. Now he's ignorant, he's stupid.  This fellow already knows that he only 

gets one body this lifetime.  They're rationing them very thinly at this time.  

Have you noticed that?  Very thin rations on bodies.  You're supposed to make 

one last one whole lifetime.  This fellow know this, he knows he isn't going 

to get another body, so he jumps into a car and goes tearing down the 

highway, drives on both sides of the road, comes to a dangerous intersection, 

times it so as to cross it at the same time with a truck; comes out of the 

hospital, jumps into a car, drives down the road, and times it so as to touch 

at the same time as a truck.  He comes out of the hospital, gets into a car 

and drives down the road, crosses a dangerous intersection and times it to 

cross the same time as a truck.  That fellow's stupid!  Given the fact that 

he'll only get one body, and that he wants the body, given that fact, then 

we get stupidity.  Now of course if he's merely after..... if his goal 

essentially is the destruction of all bodies, all cars, and all trucks, then 

he's being a howling success and in his own right, can be considered very 

intelligent.  He knows how to make it intersect with a truck every time, and 

that takes some doing (laughing).



Now, wherever we have, wherever we have ignorance, we generally have the 

remainder of things that man considers bad.  One of the first and foremost 

of them is ignorance.  You have to have almost a willful ignorance before 

you have a hopeless case.  Now, IQ is not necessarily intelligence, or 

brilliance, or smartness.  Jan told me about a professor one day, who said 

this professor said that IQ is what the test measured, which I think is very 

good because essentially, in Dianetics ... it's the ... Original Thesis, it 

gives the purpose of the mind in there.  A brief form of it is supposed to 

resolve problems relating to survival.  We don't know what intelligence is, 

but we know what ignorance is, and we can put a test up here that says, he 

is not ignorant by so many points (chuckle).  You get the idea?  That's about 

all we can test;  we can test his potential.
