The clearsound set includes an Appendix containing two HCOBs.  This
has been included with the first lecture above.

Note that old 15B "Q & A PERIOD" of 2 Aug 58 was marked as missing in 
the Flag Master List and was later found by Gold.  Its absense here 
probably means that they found it to be the same as old 16A (20ACC-28
in the above list).

Old number 19B "Q & A Period" of 8 Aug in the Flag Master List
is also omitted but 20ACC-32 (old 19A) is extremely long and probably 
contains both old 19A and 19B.

Note 20ACC-2 (1A) does not appear on the Flag Master List but
appears to be genuine.

We were able to check ten of these against the old reels and
found minor omissions [marked ">" in the transcripts.]

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 freezoners are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  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 Judaism 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,

20ACC-17 (9)   24 Jul 58 ANATOMY OF NEEDLES - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE


ANATOMY OF NEEDLES - DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

A lecture given on 24 July 1958

[Based on the clearsound version only.]


Well, anybody Rockless?

This is the ninth lecture, 20th ACC, July 24, 1958.

Our immediate concern here today is to take up the
mechanisms and noumena - we don't have much phenomena anymore
in Scientology, lots of noumena - of stuck needles, and the
anatomy of needles. Dull subject; cover it rather rapidly
and then we can get onto a more interesting lecture. So
this lecture isn't an hour long, this particular one.
Probably break down into two or three lectures.

Now I can cover this thing very rapidly and you can grasp
it very quickly and grasping it, undoubtedly be able to
locate all the stuck needles you want on any case.

First question you have to ask is "Why is a bracket?" A
bracket describes the potential directions of flow from the
preclear to another, from the preclear to himself, from
another immediate object or person to itself, to the
preclear, from the preclear to somebody else, from somebody
else to the preclear, from an object to somebody else,
object to person to somebody else, and somebody else to an
object to person, and somebody else to somebody else, and
here we go.

Now, how many potential flows there could be on one of
these brackets is pretty hard to establish. I had somebody
count them up to 153, I think the number was - you know,
another to another, and another to himself, and somebody
else to the preclear, and so on, then that somebody else
who was a somebody else to the preclear, to a somebody
else, and then himself on somebody else to himself, you
see? Do you get the idea? But the practical number - the
practical number is nine. And in a shortened look at it,
five can be gotten away with.

And the way a bracket runs, the easiest look at a bracket
is actually not in any other terms - not in any other terms
but flows.

Now, when you say a "flow" you mean a direction, a
potential direction.

And just to go off rapidly on this nine-way bracket:

How could you help yourself?

How could you help me?

How could I help you?

How could I help myself?

How could you help another person?

How could I help another person?

How could another person help you?

How could another person help me?

And how could another person help another person?

Now those are just - indicative directions of flow and just
rattle off the patterned bracket. Now, that is a patterned
bracket.

If you have any difficulty keeping your finger on the book
as you're auditing somebody, you know, and which leg of the
bracket are you on now, then you're trying to remember a
bunch of words and you don't know what a bracket is. See?
Now, I could stand here and figure out a nine-way bracket
just by looking at the number of directions of flow there
could be in a given space out in front of me. You see?
However, I'll let you in on something: I almost never use a
nine-way bracket. Preclear's a very complicated preclear, I
am liable to go up to twelve, fifteen. If it's a very
simple preclear, why, I go down to about five, and I keep
track of it by the direction of the flow.

Now, if you were auditing somebody with an oscilloscope
rather than an E-Meter you would see the actual direction
of flow at least away from and toward the preclear. An
oscilloscope rigged with a one-hand electrode will actually
demonstrate this; you will see its lines going
purr-purr-purr-purr this way, and then slow-slow-slow and
then stop. Sine wave is just hanging there, you know.

And then you say - that was "How could I help you?" you see,
and then you say, "How could you help me?" And you get
flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-flow-
flow-then slow-slow-slow-slow and stop - the other direction.

Now, this is an interesting thing, that somebody's
thinkingness could be measured electronically as on an
E-Meter. It's even more interesting that it could be
measured on an oscilloscope. However, an oscilloscope is a
rather expensive instrument, it may or may not go out of
whack rather easily, but I've never seen one operate long.

And as it only tells you two directions of flow according
to its scope, then, its usefulness has a small limitation
on it.

Nevertheless, for the purpose of locating the Rock, an
oscilloscope would be a better instrument by far than the
E-Meter if you had trouble adding up the factors which I'm
about to give you here, because it would give them there,
right there on the scope.

You would say "barnyards" and the oscilloscope would be
moving, you know; and you would say "vaults" and the
oscilloscope is moving; and then you say "heathen idol" and
the oscilloscope goes dididididididuh-stick.

Now, here is this mechanism - here's this mechanism here,
then, that a flow is arrested. Now, you should understand
that a river doesn't only run, it sometimes runs into a dam
and stops running. You see that? A river doesn't only run;
it also stops running while still potentially a river. Now,
that's possibly a very good analogy here.

You are interested in the dams across the river when you're
interested in a stuck needle. You're trying to find out
what is damming the river and refusing to let it flow.

Now, in view of the fact that electronically, preclearly, a
flow runs just so long in one direction and then overruns
itself and sticks - the flow itself, and the conflicts and
eddies within the flow make its own dam. So you say this
river flows south, flows south, flows south, flows south,
flows south, and all the time it's doing this it's carrying
bits and pieces and chips and weeds and logs and eddies and
currents and so forth, and then it flows south; and then
there's a big rainstorm after a forest fire and a lot of
logs and so forth fall in the river and it thhhhhh - doesn't
flow.

Now, if you wanted to drive everything back to where it
came from with an enormous fire hose, and if you just
tipped earth just a little bit, why, the river would clean
itself up and all that debris would go elsewhere, see, and
it would flow north, flow north, flow north. But first it
would flow north this way: flow north, flow north, flow
north, flow north, flow north. Well this is the direction
of flow: of course, it's north. You know frrruuup, see?
Now, in a pc there are seven other major stream directions;
it isn't quite as simple as a river; it is more a pattern
of rivers, and any one of that pattern can jam by being
overrun.

Do you know why you get tired? All you have to do is flow
in one direction - first be troubled by flows, that's the
first requisite. Just flow in one direction, flow in one
direction, flow in one direction, flow in one direction,
flow in one direction, flow in one direction, and after a
while if you are troubled with flows, as the hours or days
or weeks go by, you start to flow in one direction. And you
say, "Ohh-hum. Oh, I'm tired." This is a little trick that
every housewife should know. You find all of this stuff or
a lot of it in Scientology of four, five years ago. There
was quite a bit of it around. A lot of study of this, and
we are not above profiting by what we already know. Unlike
some people believe, we do remember what we have learned
and what we learned later did not necessarily invalidate
what we learned before.

Every time you come out with a new technique there are a
lot of people think you have changed your mind. Well,
that's because they didn't find out what technique you came
out with in the first place.

That's always an interesting one. Somebody says, "Well, it
just changes all the time; changes all the time; changes
all the time." It's a horrible question to say, "From what?"

And the fellow says, "Well, what they thought before, of 
course!"

"Well, what did they think before? I mean, give me one
thing, you know?" And of course you've got ahold of a guy
who hasn't a grip on one single fundamental. So of course
he knows it changes all the time because he has no place to
start from and no place to arrive at, so he's then free to
have any possible opinion.

Now, if you can see your pc as nine potential directions of
flow as a practical number, a complicated pc as fifteen or
twenty or thirty, and a case that is running rather well
(you can find stuck points on the case rather easily, and
they free rather easily and so forth) you can see five
major directions of flow, and you get somewhat of an idea
of what you are doing when you are running the side of a
bracket.

And we call it "bracket" from a term taken from artillery.
The artillery puts a shell on each side of the emplacement
just to make sure. And by asking all of these questions,
you for sure make sure that you don't miss a potential
stuck point.

The odd part of it is if you ran a flow just question by
question by question, you know, not repetitive question but
just ran the whole bracket, see, ran the whole bracket, it
wouldn't matter how badly stuck the flow was in the
beginning, it would eventually free, because your goal is
not necessarily to get flows running, but to cure the
preclear of this particular flow. And you would never miss
if you made a bracket out of it.

In other words, you just drop artillery shells all around
him, nine shells to be exact, and one of them will blow up
the ridge. That's the most practical way of looking at it.
There's nine potential dams and if you threw nine shells
in, repetitively, one at each potential dam, sooner or
later, like artillerymen, you're going to get lucky and hit
something.

Artillery, of course, is the art of scientific luck. And
similarly in auditing - in auditing don't just go along using
a tool without knowing what it's for or what you're using
it on. Please, if you have a big question of what this tool
is and a larger question on what you're using it on, it is
not smart just to sit there doggo and, you know, just do it
because "somebody said so" because the tool will never be
useful to you and your hits will be seldom. And just for
improved marksmanship you should be very careful to look
over what you are doing and look over your own
understanding of it.

Of course, you are responsible for knowing what goes on in
the preclear; you are responsible for that, the preclear is
not.

And as long as you make up your mind to that fact, and know
what you are being responsible for and how to be
responsible for it, you're a good auditor. And if you don't
know those two facts, like some artillerymen, you just keep
firing and hope, you know? But hope is an awfully bum
sight. Hope is a hard sight to raise and lower and you
can't throw hope 80 mils right. Get the idea? But you can
throw an auditing command 80 mils right when you suddenly
see the ridge showing up there.

Now, there's some people will slavishly go on and do the
safe thing forever on flows because they don't particularly
understand what a flow is or what its target is. So you
see, in Scientology there is even one that gets you by
that, and that is you just give the flow in rotation, each
command of the bracket, see, each command of the bracket in
rotation one after the other; and then come back to the
first command and give one command for each leg of the
bracket, see, all the way through again; and one command
for each leg of the bracket all the way through again. Now,
that is a super-cautious approach but you'll never make a
mistake if you do it.

Now, it's a good thing - it's a good thing to have something
that you will never make a mistake on, but if your
understanding of this thing called "flows" and "brackets"
is good, you don't need to be that cautious because you're
essentially saying you don't know what you're working with.

The time when you need that one command each is when you
have a consistently stuck needle, and when it's
consistently stuck and just freeing up, just a little bit
every hour or two, you haven't yet really been able to
ascertain which way this thing is flowing, accurately. And
one command each way will clear up an awful lot of bric-a-brac.

Now, I'm not saying two contradictory things here. I'm
saying a rigidly stuck thing is stuck on nine different
directions. There are nine dams and one of them is going to
come loose before another one, that's for sure, which
loosens the needle up just a hair. But you just have to
keep banging nine shells in there on nine dams.

Now, when we're looking for the Rock, this is the standard
condition, but don't get the idea that the only way to run
flows on a preclear is one command for each leg of the
bracket, then one command for each leg of the bracket and
so forth; because you're just excluding from your kit a
tremendously interesting lot of tricks with regard to stuck
needles. You're just missing it badly.

Now, it's the easiest thing in the world to stick a needle
artificially on most cases, but there are some who are so
high and already stuck in so many places that the preclear
is dispersing. And you might say there are nine flows and
none of them are registering on the preclear, but the
preclear is just going straight up a tenth flow which you
aren't exploring and that tenth flow is "Let me out of
here." The motto of it is: "I certainly don't want to
communicate to anything else. I certainly don't want
anything else to communicate with me. I don't want to
communicate with myself. Whatever I'm looking at, I don't
want it to communicate with itself, and I don't want other
things to communicate with it or me; or it to in any way
influence any communication in any direction, so we'll just
forget the whole thing and use a balloon." You'll find this
case going up, up, up, and the needle not sticking. You'll
get a rising needle on such a case, almost whatever you ask
the case, because anything adds to everything on the case.
So you say, "See that wall?" and you got a rising needle;
you just added a wall to the Rock chain. And you say, "How
are you?" and you get a rising needle because you've just
added a "How are you?" to the Rock chain. You get the idea?
Well, this case you have to be particularly careful of in
running and I'll tell you more about handling this case the
second half of this lecture. I'm just telling you about
standard cases right now. This case you might say is a
"special effects case." What the case is a special effects
on, however, is the limitations of the E-Meter, rather than
that the case does exhibit certain characteristics.

For instance, they won't register on cop lie detectors very
easily; you don't get a lie registering on them. In life
they're having an awfully - they're very determined to be
responsible for things, but they somehow or other never
quite get responsible for anything, you know? But they do
get responsible for things and then it's demonstrated that
they are a responsible party, but the next day they're not
being responsible for that thing, and nobody is madder at
this situation than themselves, you see? Time has a
tendency to go haywire with them; they have a little
difficulty holding on to their MEST. You know, here's all
kinds of phenomena which could rack up on this
rising-needle case. So we're not going to be very specific
about the case because you handle it much the same way that
you handle these flows, but the flows in that case are
masked on the meter. You don't see these; what you see is
the rising needle.

On all other cases, even the low ones - the low case on 
the tone arm is easier to work than a high case for this
reason: it shows up better on the meter when you get it
operating.

These flows are of the greatest importance. You could take
a case in mediumly poor-good condition and stick him on
almost anything by triggering one of these flows and making
it run too long in one direction.

Now, you just - ask somebody who has a relatively sticky, 
not free, wrong-reading needle, just ask him some question
repetitively like this: "How could your mother help you?
How could your mother help you?" Just pick something out of
the blue and pick one of these legs of a bracket, see? We
don't care which leg or who you use. Of course, the more
significant potential a person has, why, the quicker it'll
happen. Just pick anybody and pick any leg and then don't
change your mind. See? And, "How could your mother help
you? Good. How could your mother help you? Good. How could
your mother help you?" Originally he's doing all right; he
isn't doing bad, you know, and he "Oh, she could get me
breakfast and she could sew up my shirt. And she could make
my bed. And she could tell me she loved me once in a while.
And she could.. and so on; he's going along all right.

So after you've asked this question - it's an innocent
question, isn't it? See, it's an innocent question. It
could be very significant on some cases but, "How could
your mother help you? How could your mother help you? How
could your mother help you? How could your mother help you?
How could your mother help you?" You just sit there and
watch that needle. And if the needle was free on the
subject after you've gone on a finite number of commands,
the needle will start to get less free.

And the next thing you know if you absolutely insist on
running this one, "How could mother help you? How could
your mother help you?" the needle will freeze. And if you
were just too sadistic for words, like a research auditor,
you would go on running it, "How could your mother help
you? How could your mother help you?" to find out what
happened on the needle. It'll blow up! Something will blow
up - just as though you had thrown a little hand grenade into
the case, and sometimes you even get an electronic flash.

And where you've had an electronic flash occur in a
preclear, one of these flows has been overrun either by
life or by the auditor. It actually - when I'm talking 
about an electronic flash I mean pop, you know, boom.

Some fellow goes to sleep that night after the auditing
session; as he lies down on the bed, all of a sudden
bam-birwwu. Sometimes somebody has had hold of an E-Meter
cans and it's actually made holes in the metal with an
exploding flash. Get the idea? Well, the total phenomenon
and noumena connected with it is a stuck flow overrun by
life or an auditor. Thing was already sticky, potentially
sticky, you see? There was already a dam there, and then he
ran a direction which blew the dam up. And when the dam
blows up rather than ebbs away, you get a very startled
preclear, and it isn't necessarily therapeutic, in spite of
the psychiatric insistence that the only therapy that is
allowable by law - you see, a psychiatrist says that he can
go to jail if he doesn't electric shock people - is to put
enough electric shocks around a thetan to make him think
that all of his dams are blowing up and this throws him
into apathy so after that he'll be quiet. I think that's
the basic goal of psychiatry: to be quiet. I have a
different basic goal with regard to psyquietry; I want them
to be "psy-quiet" too.

Now, where does this enter into what you're doing now? Does
it have any entrance point at all? Hm? What is the Rock?
The Rock is a nine-plus-way-stuck series of flows. All
flows are stuck on the Rock. All flows are stuck. Wouldn't
matter which side of the bracket you ask on the Rock on a
case, it'd stick. Got that? And the only way to take it
apart is just take one command at a crack. As you run the
Rock you'll hit various automaticities - automaticities from
the preclear to the Rock, automaticities from the Rock to
the preclear. There'll be automaticities somewhere on each
one of these.

Now, what do we mean: "automaticity"? A whole series of
answers which just sort of machine-gun into sight. We say,
"How could you help a heathen idol?" Well, you could bow
down to it; you could dust it off; you could throw it on
the ground; you could bury it in a hole; you could blow it
up in the sky; you could take it to get a ride in an
airplane - you could send it KLM. See? And birrrrrr, you 
see? Only it's faster - now get this - it's faster than I 
am articulating it, and it's certainly faster than your
preclear can articulate.

When you run into a Rock, there - you have a choice: you can
either ask him several of the same commands that turned on
the automaticity and thus clean that thing right now, or
you can neglect it and just go on to the next part of the
flow. Now, which is best I cannot tell you at this time. I
don't know anything wrong with it either way except you
rather validate the automaticity.

The automaticity will run out in any case and it isn't all
that important that you have to pay too much attention to
it, but it is sometimes an ARC break with the preclear not
to - not to let him handle this thing, because it's suddenly
out of control because he'll go into apathy. Something in
his bank went out of control and he didn't get a chance to
look at it and he's a little bit shaken up and you distract
him by asking him a different question. So you pays your
money and takes your chance. I don't care whether you
handle automaticities or not.

If it's a very, very important automaticity and the
preclear seems to be very, very interested in it, you are
guilty of an ARC break if you don't do something about it.
Therapeutically, it probably doesn't make any difference
whether you handle it or not, but it does in the techniques
of auditing undoubtedly make some difference to the
preclear occasionally.

If he hits these things and he wants to look at them,
you're doing him a dirty trick if you don't let him look,
but you should understand that you are merely letting him look.

Now, there's no real necessity of going in there and
cleaning up that side of it right now because it will clean
up anyway, eventually.

Now, there is a question, however, of whether or not it
wouldn't be a little faster to clip that side of it now; at
least take that much off of the imbalance. Because where
you have an automaticity, you have a flow which the instant
it's released, compulsively rushes like a cataract and it's
just as though you had lifted the dam and this tremendous
volume of water goes swoosh. It doesn't matter if it goes
swoosh; you can let it go swoosh. If the preclear's
alarmed, startled, interested, so on, it's a good thing to
let him look at it. Because if it's gone swoosh, I'll clue
you, it's gone swoosh. You aren't going to do anything else
with one.

Now, when they obsessively continue to run, it would only
be because you continue to ask questions on that particular
line. You see, it was "How could you help another person?"
or something of the sort, see. And you ask, "How could you
help another person? How could you help another person? How
could you help another person?" And an automaticity which
is begun in that direction by repeated commands in that
direction will wash itself out much more thoroughly than if
it's just neglected. Don't you see? But the danger of doing
that is that you can get one started that goes totally out
of control and the case has a tendency to sort of cave in
under the tremendous violence of this thing; because in a
dozen or so questions you might release violence of one-way
flow there that your preclear isn't vaguely willing to
confront.

A better way to take it apart on this is just to go on
doing what you are doing and don't Q-and-A with an
automaticity. You see, it's not a misdemeanor or anything
to examine one or even run one side or even start an
avalanche with it. You're not going to wreck the case by
doing this. But the value of doing it isn't sufficiently
great - it has some value in it, but it isn't sufficiently
great to make you Q-and-A with it.

You bet- let your preclear look at it, just like he
originates a cognition. So he originated an automaticity,
and you say, "That's fine. What's it doing? And how's it
going? And which way did it go? And all those answers,
that's very interesting. Thank you very much. Is it through
running now at the moment?" "Yes, it seems to be."

"Well, that's fine. Let's go on to the next question." Get
the idea? You just go on auditing the way you were auditing.

And don't think you won't trigger them, because if you're
looking for a totally stuck, nine-way-stuck object, you
start to run it, somewhere around that object, you're going
to get an automaticity. The answers are going to go down
that stream bed at such an appalling rate that nobody could
keep up with them, much less the preclear. They're just
going to go boom-swoosh.

Now, so much for flows. A direction run too long will
create a stuck flow. You say this is a flow overrunning
itself, to be technical. It goes so far in one direction
that it jams up, and it's - you're undoing those things.

Now, when you find a needle stuck on just one side of the
bracket you haven't got the Rock! Not arf [half]! A Rock is 
stuck nine ways, and therefore you can pick up a lot of false
Rocks, but they're all on the chain because the ability of
that flow to stick depended on the basic stickiness of the
Rock.

All right.

Now, let's go off to the other part of this thing and maybe
we will see some more. Let's take up now the "dispersed
case," a case which is extremely high in its tone arm
reading on whom you do not get a good positive lie
reaction. Anything much that you ask the case is liable to
cause a rising needle, and nothing much will bring the
needle down from its high position on the tone arm back
down toward a proper area of read.

You work on this case hours and hours and hours and hours
and hours and hours and hours and hours and they just stay
up high on the tone arm and they don't show any signs of
going on down at all.

Now, there's the rough - a rough case. It is a rougher case
than somebody who is below male and female Clear reading on
a meter. That's a rougher case. It's easy to get them up
but it's hard to get them down when they're sitting on that
last beam at the top of the unfinished building, and
they're right out to the tip of that beam and obviously the
only thing they can do is go on and erect more skyscraper.
And what's wrong with them is that they've got too much
already. Foundation is caving in and quicksand is taking
away the basement and it's liable to totter off at any moment.

Well, the best thing for them to do is when they're on that
top of the building and on the last tip of the highest
beam, of course, is to go up, and they do. Only by pulling
off the "Rock flow mechanism" is that when they back off,
they back in; when they try to push something off they pull
it in. And you've got nearly every flow, in Lord knows how
many reversals. So they try to throw something away, they
throw something in their own face. They try to throw
something in their own face and they throw it away. All
kinds of weird things go on here.

They're sort of like a ping-pong ball riding in the middle
of a fountain, and here they are and you're going to stick
a flow. Well, you're not going to stick a flow by any
ordinary method.

The reason for this is, of course, that the individual is
stuck on all flows both ways, and is confused and doesn't
know which is up and which is down and which is right and
which is left; and the best thing to do is just to shut it
off and get out of it all. And the only way they could do
that is not-know it all, which is to be irresponsible for
the works.

So, there's a whole pattern of methods, a whole series or a
whole group or type of methods of unraveling one of these
cases and all of them are tremendously effective. They're
not - it's not, "Well, if you try one, why, get another one."
And maybe that will work, and if that doesn't work you pick
up the screwdriver, and if that doesn't work, you pick up
the Stillson wrench, you know. It isn't this kind of a
thing. You can use any of these methods and produce a
rather horrendous result on this particular case.

Basically, what's wrong with this person? This person has
taken over responsibilities and has helped things too often
and too much under duress to any longer desire to help or
take over things, so you have an unwilling responsibility
case or an unwilling help case, or an unwilling create
case, or an unwilling problem case.

So, everybody was always coming and giving this person
problems, and this person didn't want any problems, and
this person had to go on solving the problems as a sort of
an oracle. And if you were being an oracle at two drachma a
throw, I'm sure you would get tired after a while of
people's problems and become unwilling to handle their
problems.

Then you have, of course, the obsessive future case which
is the obsessive change case, which is - and all these are
the same case. So we have five buttons and any one of the
five will unravel the case in terms of flows if you ask the
right question.

You ask for the compulsive (any one of the five
buttons) - that's the formula. You ask for compulsive
examples of one of the buttons and you'll very rapidly
start taking the case apart.

Now, in view of the fact that this is a total way to audit
all by itself, it could be that you'd go for a long time
with this particular case without getting a stuck needle or
finding the Rock. All you keep on doing is getting sticks
that go floof You stick some particular subject and it
blows and then you don't have a clue as to what the next
subject is particularly; and you stick the next subject and
it blows and you get the next one and it blows; and you get
the next one and it blows. And there's no consistent stick
anywhere.

Well, don't think your preclear is so able that they're
just able to blow the Rock all by themselves; that would be
an awful mistake for you to make. It's that the thing has
so many locks that not even the best possible geological,
physical detector could locate the Rock in the midst of all
these locks.

And what is wrong with the case, basically, is that the
Rock is obscured by too many locks and it is so buried and
so obscured that it isn't available. But it shows up
promptly on the case that you start running this. But if
you started to monkey with it and fool around with it, it
shows up at once, but it shows up in physical form. It'll
be some big mass starts moving in on the preclear. Lord
knows what this mass is, what its identity is or anything
else. If it moves in on the preclear, he can tell you about
it - it has this.

And somebody who has never had, and has rather smiled about
ridges and rather smiled about big energy masses around
people's heads and thought this was just a lot of bunk, you
know - ha-ha-watch it because they have never seen one of
these things. Well, they'll at least see them on a preclear
and the process I'm about to give you will bring these
right in on the preclear. They'll bring them right in on
the preclear's skull and that's that. The preclear can
become quite alarmed; they've never seen anything like this
before, never heard of anything like this before, and it's
quite upsetting to them to have some huge mass suddenly
move in from the sky. And sometimes it moves in with
considerable rapidity and sometimes it has all sorts of
extra manifestations such as like it's red-hot or something
like this. But you don't care about that, either way.

I can tell you how to turn that mass off just as fast as
you turned it on. You just run what part of the mass (that
is moving in - that mass - no further significance) they could
be responsible for, and the mass will move right off again.

If you were to ask a question, "What have you had to be
responsible for?" (and that is the key question of any one
of the five buttons) - "What have you had to be responsible
for?" not "What could you be responsible for?" (no
willingness) - now, this is diagnostic, so you're not asking
for willingness to be responsible. You're saying, "Who
stood over you with a club, son, and told you you had to be
responsible for something? And how long did you go on being
responsible for it with no willingness on your part?" And
that in essence is the anatomy of a ridge or a stuck flow.
It's going on being responsible for something long after
you no longer want to be responsible for it. And your wish
to get away from it and your necessity to go on assisting
it, the two jam up and cause a ridge.

Now, there's one flow (speaking of flows here now) you must
know can be run totally with the button of "Create" and
with the button of "Responsibility," and that is: Self to
outwards. In other words, "What part of that could you be
responsible for?" Recognize this is a flow command: "What
part of that could you help?" You see? Now, you can ask
that part of all of the flows over and over and over and
over and over and over again. You just don't get all the
sides of the situation, but you can actually run "Mock up a
man. Mock up a man. Mock up a man. Mock up a man. Mock up a
man. Mock up a man," without running "Get the idea of my
mocking up a man, my mocking up a man, another person
mocking up a man, man mocking up himself," so forth. You
get the idea? You can just go on: "You mock up a man. You
mock up a man. You mock up a man." In other words self
outwards is so perpetual; it has been going on for so long
that you can do it ad infinitum without unsettling all of
its potential flow. Get the idea? So there's one leg of the
bracket that has no limitation on it, that you cannot
overrun; self outwards cannot be overrun. You should
remember that. When you want to know what part of a bracket
to pick up and beat to death because you know you've gone
wrong somehow or another, self outwards "How could you help
another?" will go on and on and on and on and run and run
and run and run and run. You got the idea? That one doesn't
get stuck because it's already totally stuck.

Now, get this as a mechanism in this "dispersal case." We
have one leg which can be run and run and run and run and
run, you see, with great security and safety, so we never
ask this dispersal case any other side of a bracket - we're
trying to locate something - than case outwards, see? We ask,
"What could you help? What could you be responsible for?
What could you change?" See? "What could you create?" We
can ask them, ask them, ask them - any one of these buttons,
you see? "What problem could you create?" You know,
anything like this and it's fairly safe to do so. We don't
use the rest of the bracket - not arf [half]. We don't use 
the rest of that bracket, particularly diagnostically, if 
you want to call it that, analytically.

Let's take this case now, and I'll give you a very concrete
example. The case is very high on the tone arm. You test
the case for a lie reaction, you say, "Answer no to
everything I ask you." And then you ask them a lot - three,
four, five, six questions to which the answer is obviously
yes. All right. You get little or no lie reaction or
sporadic lie reaction.

Now, that sporadic lie reaction is the borderline. On one
question you got a lie reaction as you said, "Are you
sitting in that chair?" And the case said, "No," and you
didn't get a reaction. "Are you in this room?" And the case
said, "No," and you didn't get a lie reaction. And "Are we
in this room?" and you got a lie reaction. And "Are your
feet on the floor?" And we got a lie reaction. And "Do I
have a head on my body?" and you got no lie reaction. Get
that as a sporadic, "sometimes" reaction sort of thing.

Well, to be on the safe side you can consider that case in
this same bracket. You can consider that case in this same
category that we're just covering here. You know,
occasional lie reaction, not consistent.

The requisite is, however, that the tone arm must read
abnormally wrong. See, that's the characteristic. Now, I
didn't say really in all cases too high or too low. I'm
just saying this is a whole category of cases and it's an
abnormal tone arm reading, and it's an abnormal behavior of
the needle case.

Now, there's two ways you could make this case: one is to
have a meter that doesn't work. So you always start a case
in with a reality on whether or not the meter is working by
getting him to squeeze the cans. He is registering on the
thing and you might even carry out a few little more
experiments to make sure that the preclear is registering
predictably on the instrument.

Well, these preclears don't register worth a nickel; they
just don't register well, the ones I'm talking about. It's
just goofball stuff. Well, let's make sure the goofball
isn't you in your handling of an E-Meter, you know? Even
the best of auditors can hand somebody an E-Meter and turn
it on and hand them the cans and then find no reaction and
find out after a half an hour or not find out at all that
one of the electrodes is disconnected today. Get the idea?
See, even the best of them can do this, but that's a goof.
That has nothing to do with this case. After you've
established carefully that the preclear is reading on that
meter, and that you are in communication with the preclear
and now you just don't get any action or reaction, you go
through, you know, you don't get good, consistent lie
reactions, and you get theta bop, theta bop, theta bop,
theta bop, theta bop. You start talking about death and all
of a sudden you get a constant rise on the needle. And you
say, "Wow!" This is not an infrequent case, by the way;
this case is rather commoner than you think, but it is not
the average case by a long ways.

It requires special handling only to this degree; it
requires special diagnostic proceedings. Well, one of the
best ways to go about it... The case always has a
sluggish needle one way or the other; there's something
wrong with that needle, or the needle is doing nothing but
a theta bop and won't ever do anything else, you
know - reading high, reading low, won't react, so forth.

Special procedure for such an impasse - there are probably
many such procedures and there are probably more effective
procedures and I even may know some better ones myself, but
I don't have any vast amount of data on these other
procedures and I do have some data on the one I'm giving
you and I know that it is quite reliable.

Proceeding is like this: Case as described and its behavior
on the E-Meter. It's really a "dispersal case" whether it's
high or low; it's a dispersal case. It's reading
abnormally; it's trying to get away from it all and going
into it all, and it's pretty confused. We know that all
five buttons on the case are upset. This we can start for
sure. Now, we can say this in a modified way about any
being that ever comes to us as a preclear: The five buttons
are upset. But that wasn't what I was saying. In this
particular case the five buttons are upset.

The case's definition for "Change" - pshew, for the birds.
"Problems" - phoo. You don't know what the devil is going to
happen here on "Problem" definition, see - that's wow!
"Create" - Lord knows! Do you get the idea? "Help" - "Oh, I
don't know," they're liable to think anything is help. See?
"Oh, help is the circular circumference of automobile tires
in Afghanistan." You know? That doesn't mean they're crazy
but it's just off on the button.

And "Responsibility" - "Well, responsibility is well, that's
what you have to do." That is almost a stable definition to
such a person. "Responsibility is something you don't want
anything to do with," is another typical definition on such
a case.

"Help" is something which you do all the time anyway. No
responsibility.

"Create" - "Oh, yes." There's a key question which always
gets such a response from these people, and now we are
merely talking about a case being more aberrated than other
cases and you get a key response like this: "How would you
feel about communicating with everything everywhere at the
same time and just having unlimited communication?" so
there's - so on.

"Duuuow."

The case usually doesn't like that, not at all, not at all.
They could get very argumentive on this subject; they could
take this real seriously, or they simply couldn't conceive
such a thing. See, an apathy side of it.

Now, you're talking about a very wide range of responses
here. You're talking about every case that isn't an easy
case to clear; and they all answer up under these
descriptions. If you can talk to them at all, why, you 
can run this sort of a diagnostic proceeding.

By the way, you have CCH 1, 2, 3, 4 and old TR 5 converted
to "You make that body lie on that bed Thank you," to
handle unconscious people and insane people and so on. You
know, you can get them up to a bracket where you can talk
to them.

Now, this case obviously, then, operates in the area where
it is easy to talk to them, and where they don't
necessarily make bad sense to you as much as they seem to
make bad sense to themselves. They know this isn't right
and they know this doesn't square around.

One of the characteristics is it very often doesn't worry
them. Very often you'll find such a case and they know this
is all wrong, but it doesn't worry them that it's all wrong
and it's going on that way. You know, they just "Ha-ha-ha" - 
toss it off.

Or it's simply a case that's having an awfully hard time
and he's very sincere about getting himself out of the
soup, you see? So, it's a terrific breadth of case here so
don't get the thing - it's somebody who isn't unconscious, 
is capable of talking to you, but who doesn't respond and
clear easily.

Now, you got that whole band of cases? Well, that's the
ones I'm talking about - probably something on the order of
50 percent of the human race. See? All right, this is the
diagnostic procedure which is followed, now that you know
what it's applied to. Oh, don't let me catch you being lazy
and using this procedure on somebody that you just track it
down, the needle sticks and you scout for a while. In half
an hour, forty-five minutes or something like that, you've
got the Rock, and so forth. Boy, don't use this proceeding,
because this proceeding tends to sweep away the stucks as
fast as they're located, but at least permits you to locate
the stucks.

And that is, you find enforced buttons on the one flow of
pc to the environment; you find enforced buttons. You're
looking for automaticities, but you find these enforced
buttons.

Now, one question that works excellently if they haven't
any definition at all of responsibility is: "What have you
had to be responsible for?" Now, that is not: "What part of
that object could you be responsible for?" Now, get the
horrible difference here because if you miss this one,
you'll miss the whole case. You want to know responsibility
to which they objected. Now, why do you want
responsibilities to which they objected basically? Because
you are looking for something besides the garbage which is
coming off the top of this flow, and you can just go into
this dispersal and run random problems from there until the
pond freezes over and you'll get noplace with this case.

You want to walk in as close as you can to the ridge, and
the ridge is: What have they had to do that they were
trying to withdraw from doing. See, and it's a withdrawing
from doingness but having to go on doing, that tends to
make this particular type of ridge. So you get them in as
close to this ridge as you can get them and then just hold
their nose to it. And eventually they'll blow off locks,
locks, locks, locks, locks, chains, locks, types, material,
all of which are located (no matter how indirectly) to the
Rock, and each one of which will be a stuck needle. And you
will watch gratifyingly that tone arm come down, half a
notch, a whole notch, and then go back up a half a notch,
you know, and then come down a whole notch, and then go
back up a half a notch, and then go back up two notches and
then drop right back, and you're getting action which you
won't get on that case in any other way that I know of at
this time, and you're getting action on the tone arm! And
when you don't get action on the tone arm with a person who
has a tone arm with an abnormal reading, you are not
getting somebody Clear. Oh, bunk! Letting a tone arm sit up
at 6.0, hour after hour, hour after hour, hour after hour,
hour after hour, 6.0 on the tone arm, 6.0 on the tone arm,
6.0 on the tone arm. Whew! Shoot the auditor! He's worse
off than the preclear, he must be! Because it violates the
Auditor's Code: Not getting any change on the case. Must be
running the wrong procedure. Bejesus, there must be
something happening here that is wrong, and it's just going
on running a process which is not producing any change.

Now, how could you make the process produce change? Well,
you get those enforced, having to do it but not willing to
do it buttons, and then just beat them to death with
two-way comm and keep looking for the stuck needle just
like you scout any other way.

You say, "Is there anything in your life you've had to be
responsible for?" "Oh-uh" they very often tell you, "well,
no, not really." Not really, be damned! It's their whole
cockeyed present lifetime. Every waking moment of it is an
enforced responsibility for which they are not willing to
answer up. And they just get an unreality on the thing.

About the time you start asking this question you'll see
big masses may show up or other things may happen. You
know, oddities on the case. Don't pay any attention to the
oddities; just go on with this question.

Now, you can take each one of the five buttons and phrase
it. Pick that button which is best within a normal
understanding and use the enforcedness of the button.

You want the unwilling application of the button by the
preclear to life. And you just keep looking for it and then
you keep looking for that stuck needle and you're liable to
get another needle manifestation which is always present
when you get anywhere near the Rock, on such a case. And
that is, the needle starts slamming from one side of the
dial to the other, back and forth, very hectically and
erratically and you think it's because the preclear is
picking his fingers up and off the cans and putting them
back on or something. You get wham-wham-wham-wham-wham-
dirrrr-wham-wham-wham-wham-wham-wham. Oh, you're as hot as 
a firecracker; you should go back to the first thing that 
turned that thing on and scout this on: what part of that 
object has he had to be responsible for? Now, you'll keep 
blowing it, you'll blow locks, you'll have to find something 
else, you'll have to monkey around with something else, but 
you can use any one of the five buttons: "What have you had 
to help?" "What have you had to change?" "What have you had 
to create?" Don't you see? Any one of these five buttons, 
and just scout their definitions and find the one that's 
most real to him and then ask that one, and it'll be the 
one on top. And then if that button kind of peters out, 
pick up another one and go on down and get these enforced 
buttons that he has a little bit resented, and you will 
start picking up lock chains just by the handfuls.

Don't be disappointed if the thing frees again. Don't be
disappointed if the needle frees up after you had it
beautifully stuck for four or five questions and all of a
sudden it freed and you c
