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

WELCOME TO THE CLASS VIII COURSE: AN INTRODUCTION TO STANDARD TECH
 
Thank you. Sit down.
 
Thank you very much. Thank you. I wish to announce the
opening of the Class VIII course.
 
Now, you're the lucky ones, actually. And I'm very happy to
see you well turned out. I'm sorry the stage isn't high
enough; a bit higher, so that I could see all of your
faces. I like to look through an audience and see the
misunderstoods.
 
This is a very...this is a very stellar day, actually, in
Scientology. And all of these years have piled up and have
made the thing called Standard Tech.
 
Now to celebrate this, we have certain congratulations
here. Here is one from the...all the staff at WW, Ron,
Class VIII Students. Dear Ron, Sir. Our congratulations and
best wishes for the universes' first Class VIII course.
Your gift of tech and now most wonderful of all, standard
tech, cannot be measured in terms of mans' freedom and
sanity. The students you are training will bring back a
priceless commodity. Our thanks to all who made it
possible, and to the students, but most of all thank you
Ron. From Roger and all staff of your Office of LRH, WW.
 
And this next one. Here's our very best wishes and
congratulations on the first Level VIII course. You've done
it again. Much love, from LRH Comm, London, Executive
Council London, and all staff from London.
 
Our love, good wishes and abundance's of Class VIII
auditors for the world. The commanding officer of the Pubs
Org and all staff.
 
And here's one from, relayed, from Cape Town. Dear Ron,
congratulations on first Class VIII course. All the best.
Love, E. C. Cape Town and LRH Comm Cape Town.
 
Now, what is Class VIII? Why Class VIII? Well, I wish to
welcome you all here to a series of revelations. A series
of very, very interesting revelations known as Standard
Tech. You are about to get wins. And about to guide through
wins that you have never heard of before.
 
Technology was actually not summated until 1966.
Individuals follow what is called the hidden data line,
mostly. Um...Didn't get a laugh. You don't even know what
it is. But a student on the Saint Sill Briefing Course is
given all the research materials, now of eighteen years, so
that he'll have a good background and a good rounding out
on which he can operate. and then he goes into power and
his lessons in simplicity begin to occur. Only an expert
can be simple. A one-ace trained individual, "Uh, no, ah,
ah, where - where's the tone arm?" Much less where's the
PC? "I, I, it looks awfully blank, and uh I think that
blankness,...and see, I think blankness, I don't remember
calling anything...I'd better develop some technology.
Let's see.
 
I've got a new process now. "Who's blank?" Yeah, that ought to crack his case, yeah. "Who's blank?" They don't even know there's any technology there, boy.
 
In other words it takes a total expert to be totally
simple. And you just gonna be surprised studying this Class
VIII course to find out how totally expert you have to be
to be totally simple. It is a fantastic revolution. It's a
revolution, it's a revelation.
 
And then there's this other thing called a hidden data
line. This thing called a hidden data line is one of the
most fascinating things I ever heard of. Now, Captain Joe
Von Stodden, Captain of the Flag Ship, has given some
thought to this as an old, old, old time auditor, as well
as a very good captain. He sort of racked this around for a
while, and he finally found out how a hidden data line
occurs. Or how a hidden command line occurs. And I'll just
read his dispatch in full here as I received it this
morning. It's very, very good.
 
"Regarding the subject of a hidden data line, I have
observed the basis of the hidden data line, and it is
simply this: The hidden command line. This is the only way
command intentions can get alter-ised apart from outright
non-compliance, which I feel, if looked at closely, is also
due to a hidden command line."
 
"For example, a level 3 auditor does a green form without
an E-meter. A level 6 asks him, "What the hell are you
doing?" And the level 3 auditor says, "I have just come back from the AO and they do it like that." And the level 3 auditor gives a big explanation of why it goes that way.
And the level 6 auditor pursues the issue and finds other
auditors from AO doing a green form this way, and therefore
it must be OK. So the level 6 auditor starts doing a green
form in this way. This is an extreme example, but the point
is the level 6 started backing off when the AO was
mentioned."
 
"The higher up the command line, the level 6 wouldn't have
just taken it from the level 3, but the 3, being
just...having just had close contact with a body higher on
a command line than the 6, starts off the level 6's doubt.
And the higher on a command line the power is drawn from,
the wider area the alter-is covers. Like it seems someone
figured this out and just put god there."
 
"You know, somebody just heard from god, so that's the right thing to do."
 
"Religion is a pretty good example of a hidden command
line. There is policy on 'If it's not written it's not
true', and 'The only standard tech is found in HCOBs, tapes
and books', yet tech gets alter-ised in Orgs, and the form
of the Org is difficult at times to keep. I conclude from
this that command lines are misused and not understood
always."
 
"The Class VIII course is handling the tech line, and I
really feel will get the data line in from source, and kept
in by Sea Org Class VIIIs doing a patrol of tech. To handle
the design won't it be a good idea to run the Org Exec
course based on some principles, the same principles as the
Class VIII auditors course here? To put in the command
lines with a thud, then, we will be able to turn out
cracker jack auditors and a cracker jack org to back them
up would be a great help. So it undoubtedly occurs
organizationally as well as technically."
 
And those are very, very important considerations.
 
The laws of listing. They were all on tape, they were in
bulletins. And somebody has removed both tapes and
bulletins from the training line of the Class VI course.
 
Now, do you realize that the morale of an organization is
proportional to the accuracy of the technology? If they
haven't got accurate technology that works, works, works, I
will tell you what. Their morale goes to pieces because
they haven't got anything left to work for.
 
Now I don't mean to appear violent. But when you have
talked your lungs out hour after hour, day after day to
drive one point home and it doesn't drive, and it
evaporates, it demonstrates that the subject can be wrecked
by deleting from the subject line a piece of key data. As
well as somebody who just came in saying, "The Advanced
Org. That's the way they're doing it at the Advanced Org.
They run the PC standing on his head and the E-meter
plugged into the light socket." Do you realize that
Scientology very remarkably well stays together in spite of
the absence of standard tech? It's remarkable. It's the
only hope man's got. But when it's done wrongly, when that
is done wrong, man is being betrayed. And he's being very,
very badly betrayed.
 
Now there isn't in actual fact much of a trick to auditing.
There isn't much of a trick. I'm not saying how bad it all
is every place. I'm just saying, my gods! If it hangs
together on the crappy jobs of god - just - auditing you
see around, what would it do if it went up to 100%? And
guess what? It's running on this ship right now at one,
zero, zero per cent. Three provisional Class VIIIs. Some of
them are a little resistive, some of them more resistive
than others, but they're all the same case. And they're
just rolling along.
 
And the morale went up and everything went up, and bongety,
bongety, bongety, bong! But if tech was even slightly out
on the Flagship, what do you think it is in the outer Orgs?
Pretty grim. Pretty grim.
 
Now. I don't want to give you the idea that I'm angry at
anybody. I'm not. I'm not even ARC broken about having
talked so long and often on certain points and find them
violated. In fact I'm very calm about the whole thing, and
it will be completely dispassionately that we hang from the
yard arm any auditor who does other than standard tech.
We'll pat him on the back as we send him into the sky.
 
'Cause everything we're fighting for is attainable on a
standard technical basis which doesn't alter a hair line!
There is not one case in this whole stinking MEST universe
who is one millionth of a millimeter sideways from standard
tech. And that's the first thing you have to know about
standard tech. There are no variable cases. None.
 
But let me show you what people think is a variable case.
PC comes into session, his TA is high, and the auditor's
trying to run the right thing, they've been trying to run
some things on him lately, and, the TA is high; and they
haven't gone anyplace, and so they try to dream up
something like, "What principles of psychoanalysis would
apply to your case?", you know? They go rushing in to the
case supervisor or the D of T and say, "I can't get him on
there, uhuhuh, he's still...ahahah, god damn him! Here, get
me a process!"
 
Your class supervisor goes through and he thinks of
something, and gives it to this fellow.
 
Doesn't even look at the folder. And the guy goes tearing
back to session and runs some bunk, and the TA goes a
little bit higher. Now this is actually, this is actual
fact. I get hold of such a folder, and this case is so, so
standard that it's pathetic. Except for the last three
months anybody who did a GF or rudiments on him got an R/S
on missed withholds as connected to a suppressive person.
(Laughing) They R/S! They don't read, they R/S! And no
auditor has resorted it to ethics, has done anything about
it, has tried to pull the missed withhold, or anything, so
of course we have a very peculiar case.
 
So a case that isn't run by standard tech becomes a very
peculiar case. And that's just about the first law of
standard tech. All peculiar cases were cases that weren't
run by standard tech, and guess what? Still can be. So that
doesn't make peculiar cases at all.
 
Now the degree of precision which I have talked about on
the Saint Hill course is so many miles wide of what we now
call standard tech, as to be completely fantastic. There're
literally miles of widths in 1965 which don't exist now.
The width of tolerance on standard tech probably couldn't
be measured with an engineering micrometer. It is
absolutely exactly hair line.
 
Now what do you have to do? What do you have to be, in
order to run tech that close? You have to be the god
damnedest most screaming expert you've ever heard of. You
have to know all of the width and body of the Saint Hill
course, the research line, all the books, because that
enough was a pathway. That was a roadway. And then knowing
all that you know the total boundaries. You know the total
boundaries the tech can reach.
 
Now, in through that data there is an absolutely hair line,
little, tiny, knife edge pass. And you have to know all of
that to have a grip on where the path is. And exactly what
you do.
 
Honest to Pete, standard tech is so standard that it's
practically drop a nickel in the auditor and he runs off
the session. But what does it take to make that kind of an
auditor? Look at the grip he's got to have on it. Smokey
Joe sits down, and he sits down in the auditing session,
and he's in really bad shape, and he was audited out in
Keokuk, and didn't do any good. And his TA is at .9, and
the needle is terribly stuck. And what do we do? We do Ruds
or green form to F/N and next grade. (Laughs)
 
And then there's this fellow comes in, and he's been in New
York, and he's been down on Harley Street in New York he
says. And he's a member of the British government so he's
pretty confused. And most of their wives are in
psychiatrists' beds, I mean care. I didn't mean to malign
them or anything. Anyway, so he sits down and says his
psychiatrist has just told him something or other. And he's
just had umpteen electric shocks and he actually has been
boozle-bozzled, and etcetera. And he's been given an
implant that Scientology doesn't work.
 
And uh, it's, it's, it's all pretty, pretty grim. And what
do you do with this guy? What, what do you do with this
guy?
 
"Oh Christ, that is a hell of a god damned thing to figure
out. What will we do with this fellow? Oh dear! Let's run
in to see the case supervisor without even showing him the
folder and get the solution, you know? That's the way it
is."
 
Well in standard tech you don't even know whether or not
he's a resistive type case, so you do the Ruds or green
form to F/N, and the next grade.
 
Now, you'll have to be pretty, pretty good. You have to be
pretty good. Because look at the bait that's thrown to you
all the time. Now all you do is consider these wildly
different cases as just bait on a hook trying to get you to
bite. Everybody is so different. And boy, they're just
about as different as the same spot of ink sitting on the
same spot of ink.
 
Now, by George, it is pretty, pretty doggone interesting,
the session control and the self control which an auditor
requires to actually go down that highway. All invitations
refused yet ARC isn't broken, and so forth, and yet he just
runs him. Now there, there's the way it is.
 
Now if the case proves to be a very resistive case, and we
don't seem to be able to do anything with him, you will
find out that we can't do anything with him only if he has
already been subjected to the unusual. So standard tech has
to include cases which have been run very non-standardly.
 
You know, been audited in D.C. No, I won't malign D.C. All
Orgs are just as sour as all Orgs, and by the time this
course is being taught they will all be snapped up to
battery again. And they will be running fine.
 
I am embittered by the folder I just got in from that
quarter, that's all. It's pretty god damn grim. The
earliest folder, the earliest session, has about a three
page list in it as the first list made, followed by a
second list which is about a three page list, and the first
list hasn't been nulled, and no item was given the PC, and
the second one has several reading items on it. What the
hell were they trying to do?
 
But the last one, the last auditing report is the real
panic in that one folder. It is a real panic. I mean it's
something to sit down and cry about or laugh uproariously
about. The TA is high, so she was probably overrun on OT1.
After doing two unnecessary S and Ds, which had, each of
them, at least three items on the list reading. TA was
higher at the end of session. See how the, see how the
rules are avoided? Now there's only one item reading on the
list. It's just about the damnedest thing anybody ever
heard of. Do you know, do you know in actual sober, sober,
sober, sober fact, that this can be interpreted, that you
have three items which read on the first nulling, and then
you nulled it again in such a way to submerge two of them
and leave only one reading, and then that fulfills the
requirement of one item reading on the list. Now whatever
jackass figured that one out, and whoever copied him, ought
to be sad. Because it's completely bonkers. It's completely
bonkers.
 
Now there've been people on the line who have put out
re-written bulletins and things like that, and there is a
re-written bulletin which shows just that happening. But
that is bonkers! So we can assume that people who are a bit
inclined to malign, knock apart and shoot the human race,
and have that as their only goal, can get into Scientology
and can remove things from the technical line, or pervert
or alter things in the technical line, which then makes
Scientology unworkable.
 
Therefore, we have entered in upon a program. And this
program simply is that you, called in from your various
Orgs, are being taught rapid-fire as hard and as clear and
as bold as we can teach you. Standard tech. The auditing of
it and the case supervision of it. And we will send you
back as Class VIII provisionals.
 
Do you know that absolutely standard tech, complete,
proper, hair line standard tech, used in organizations
throughout the world will at least triple the stats of each
within 90 days? Couldn't help it. And if it was really
applied in a business like fashion, and nobody messed it up
in any way, shape or form, one of our Division 5 people
said we might even be able to take the planet within a
year. It is hot.
 
Scientology is so much hotter than anybody thinks it is
that it is fantastic! You don't have to take my say so.
You'll find it out as you go along the line. You'll find it
out. You're about to have, as an auditor, some very
exciting adventures. Cases start falling apart in your
hands, without any unusual solutions at all. It's only when
you goof it up that you have trouble.
 
Now there are two actual spheres of instruction in this.
One is auditing of it, and two, case supervision of it. And
the case supervision of auditors is a more difficult
subject because the auditors, they're not going to follow
the case supervisors' instruction. I know on some folders
in which we were teaching this I have seen one student
auditor fail to follow for three consecutive sessions the
case supervisors' instructions, winding the case around
seven assorted telegraph poles, and driving the case
supervisor straight up the wall, so that the case
supervisor then started to offer very unusual solutions
trying to rescue this PC before it was too late. And the PC
came out right, I think, by just going back and doing the
case supervisors' instructions in the first place.
 
There are various sins on this line. But if you think the
auditor has to have, if you think the auditor has to have
it, a grip on tech, what does the case supervisor have to
have? He's the crystal ball boy. He's got his job, to pick
'em up after they've fallen on their heads. Now of course
all cases are case supervised. There aren't any cases that
go through any org, there must not be any cases going
through any org, there must not be any cases audited any
place, that are not case supervised by a Class VIII. The
next session may not be given until case supervision. Now
the auditor, if he is a very well trained auditor, can
refuse to do the case supervisors' instructions, because
it's the auditor who is going to be hanged. But he can only
refuse to do them and not audit at all. Be may not ever
vary or alter a case supervisors' instructions. He opens up
the folder, and he sees a case supervisors instructions,
and he himself perhaps trained to Class VIII disagrees with
these completely. Now he must take it up with the case
supervisor. He has a right not to audit them, but he has no
right whatsoever to audit anything else. You see how it's
sewn up?
 
You say, "Yes, but this PC could sit there for a month
without any auditing." It's god damn well better he did. If there're two people who have entirely different opinions on
what ought to be done with this case, then either one or
the other of those two different people do not know
standard tech, because if they knew standard tech they
would not have any divergence of opinion.
 
Now there are certain things that get wrong with cases.
There are certain cases more resistive than other cases.
There are certain cases that do not appear to be standard.
They're standard enough. There's a little 7 line assesment
which is longer if you want to ask more particulars on each
one but there's only about 7 things that prevent a case
from running - easily - these are the resistive cases.
 
And they're something, they're something on the order of
being audited with ruds out  - different cases, with
different items.
 
There's cases that have had experiences of release quote
unquote on biochemical preparations of one kind or another.
And these cases have a comparison level, they also have one
hell of a screaming awful ridge. One such case at the AOUK
I heard of - he wrote me a petition. He said he'd been 800
hours on class 3 and he never could get back of an LSD
release that he had in 1966. Oh I don't know how he was
managing it man but for sure nobody had ever rehabbed that
LSD release.
 
Now you get invariables - you are dealing basically in
invariable things, highly invariable such as "A high tone
arm is an overrun". See -  it's not a rump and a dump and
probably an overrun. It is an overrun of some kind or type.
 
A low TA is an unflat "3". The state of this character.
 
One item is reading on a list. If 2 items are reading then
the list is incomplete and must be completed by adding
items to it. I'd better be more specific you know - Simple
Simon idiocy - this ..  its this kind of stuff see - its
rat a tat tat a tat tat - see. It is the point "A" , it is the point "A",  it always will be the point "A" and so forth. And anybody can count on an AO saying they now run
Green Forms without a E-meter at the AO and anybody trained
on this line can pick up this little violin and play a
little tune:
 
It may be so,
We do not know,
You story sounds so clear,
We hate to doubt your word,
But - doesn't go here.
 
(laughter)
Standardization.
 
Now, the whole body of technology, as far as lower grades
are concerned and  Power, was not completed until 1966. And
it was completed on a hairline precision by 1966 at the
lower levels. It has now moved up to complete, now,  it is
absolutely complete straight through to OT section VI,
complete and  released and that is it. IV, a new I has been
released, and IV has become a  review action of highly
precise, of a highly precise nature, uhh, that puts  it all
together and gives the guy back all of his gains after he's
goofed it up as a solo auditor. Anyhow....
 
And then, what they do, they do. They goof it up. I guess
the latest method  of running III is putting the empty
chair across from your auditing table and asking the chair
if it, if it has any engrams and then the chair doesn't
speak. So one then attests III. I don't approve of that.
That's not standard tech. (Laughs)
 
And having a body thetan give you his name, rank, serial
number and so forth, auditing him with Dianetic audible
commands, "Go to the beginning  (mumbling the commands of
R3R) mmemblemm mm and, are you there and so on wmm  dmmtm
thmmm wmmmbl... " Yeah, for chrissakes! , didn't you ever
hear of telepathy? We do it all telepathically. Jzzztl
Bump. Toot zee! Zzzzmmmmnl Phew! (Laughs)
 
And as far as 7 is concerned, and 8, all the materials of 7
and 8 are sitting there. I haven't written them up. There's
no reason to write up 7 and 8 without standard tech in up
to 6. And, the other thing is I'm so far into 8 that 7 has
gotten awfully dim. I'm just being lazy. And besides this,
people haven't been nice to me lately. They haven't been
nice to me. They here and there, here and there, why, there
have been non-compliances with standard technology, and
although people say, "Yes, we're doing just as you said", and so forth, the review folders don't follow. So, I, I
think I won't release 7 until auditing is standard through
the world.
 
Actually 7 is one of these little jolly old go-carts. 3
goes zig and 7 goes zag. And if a guy can't audit at 7 he
may as well quit.
 
And you can talk all you want to about uh, the guys start
getting into trouble, do you understand? They start getting
into plenty, plenty, plenty, of trouble, if they can't
audit well at 3. Well, if they can't audit well at 3, boy
they're going to go down for the third count if they can't
audit well at 7. 'Cause 7 is much tougher to audit than 3,
merely because it's just more or less straight auditing
job, but it's got zig zags in it. You have to know your
business.
 
And as far as 8 is concerned, well 8 is very airy-fairy,
and uh, well I'll give you some kind of a notion of it. The
lower grades are dominant C, communication. They're
dominant C.
 
Somewhere in the vicinity of Power, one passes into the
band of  R. And R runs on up to, pretty close I suppose, I
haven't made a graph of it, but somewhere around 3. And
then from 3 on up it is pure A. That is the dominant. It's
affinity that runs on up from there. And when you get up
into 8, why the three start to harmonic, one after the
other. You get R and you get A and so on. Your dominant
stress.
 
It is only because a person is out of dominant
communication, or C, that you can have solo auditing at
R6EW. He doesn't any longer need a communication cycle. But
he needs R. man and what he does is get heavy increases in
R. And these increases in R move up, and if he has done all
of his grades like a good boy, he will arrive at 3 with
sufficient R to be able to flip over into A. And it's uh,
at 3 where it starts going into heavy affinity. Affinity is
the dominant.
 
You get into all sorts of conditions. You, when you get 3
you start finding yourself loving everybody, and so forth.
So these, these are just some of the considerations as they
go up along the line.
 
Now, it's actually just interesting. It doesn't change
anything. It's where the person is progressing. But, if a
person has neglected his grades, lower grades, and
neglected C, and hasn't picked his C up as he comes up
through the grades, why when he gets into solo his reality
is inadequate, and it is not possible for him to, in actual
fact have any R on 3. No reality on 3. Well that means he's
out somewhere along the line, don't you see? He hasn't made
it in that way. And then if you find him hating everybody
when he gets to, when he gets to 5, or something like this,
well you know very well that he actually hasn't made it
there either.
 
These'd just be tests of whether or not the guy has gone up.
 
You will find out, oddly enough, that the trouble with
cases is a failure to make the grade.
 
(Laughs) Not to make a horrible pun out of it, but if you
were to hand Clearing Course materials to Joe Blow of
Hoboken, if you were to hand the Clearing Course materials
to Joe Blow of Hoboken you would find out that he would be
in a completely unreal state. He doesn't even restimulate.
Most remarkable thing you ever heard in your life. He
doesn't even restimulate. What wall?
 
Now the E-meter reads just above the level of the
individual R. Pardon me, it reads just a tiny bit deeper
than his extant R. So a fellow could be there, sick as a
pup, his leg broke and everything else. Maybe he didn't
have any reality on anything that was wrong with him at
all, and he doesn't think anything is wrong with him. So
you ask him, "Is anything wrong with you?" And he'll, "No, feel fine." Baffling. You'll say he has no subjective
reality. Well I don't know why you're using the word
subjective. He just doesn't have any reality, period.
That's all. (Laughs)
 
So anyway, the E-meter will read just a little bit deeper
than the guys' R. Now that it happens to be a basic law.
That happens to be a basic law. So you ask this bird for an
ARC break. And he's just been knocked in the head some way
or another and anybody would have an ARC break. Anybody. He
doesn't have any ARC break, he doesn't know what happened.
 
So you as an auditor know what is wrong with the person,
usually far better than the person does. And as a result
you know far better than the person what is wrong with the
person, but this little law gets in your road. The E-meter
reads just a tiny bit deeper than the guys' R level.
 
And the meter didn't read on it, so it is either
suppressed, or it is below his R. So if you try to do
anything more about it at that moment than that, you've had
it.
 
So Class VIII takes what it sees on the meter. And a Class
VIII auditor knows the meter has read, or knows that it
hasn't read. He really doesn't even know what it has read
on. He can suppose that it read on the question he asked,
but it also might have read on a fly that just bit the guy
in the ankle. So if he gets an unusual reaction in response
to his question, along with the read, then he always checks
for a false read. Did it read or didn't it read? See, he
doesn't go on the slavish academy level action that the
meter read, and therefore it was. Now he not only cleans up
the false read he got, but he feels that if this thing is
falsely reading it must have falsely read for somebody else
too. So he cleans up the false reads on this subject.
 
I'll give you a little kind of a, of a total loss of gain.
An individual had gotten off a terrible second dynamic
withhold. And he had gotten this off in London to an
auditor in the London HGC. And he felt great, he felt
wonderful, he got someplace else and some auditor was
auditing him, and got a read on a withhold and he
immediately assumed that it hadn't blown.
 
So he went on for the next two or three years giving up
this withhold to every auditor because it always read, and
he knew he couldn't blow it, so therefore Scientology had
failed.
 
I myself was the review auditor in this particular
instance, so I, of course, immediately checked for false
reads when he came up. "Ah" he says, "You know." I could read it, you know. He said, "That again, well it's just
like this." And I said, 'Wait a minute. Uh, you've gotten
this, some withhold off before." Yeah, he told me all about how he'd gotten it off before. I just checked it for false
reads, traced it back to the first false read we could get,
cleaned it up, the needle flew like a bomb, he had his
gains back all in a batch. Pongo! About a two minute
operation.
 
So, there's something to this. Now, if auditing is working
as it is, as has been done prior to 24 September 1968 A.D.
18, if auditing is working prior to this date when we are
launching standard tech, it is a terrific testimony to the
subject, because the subject has been being applied in a
very sloppy, knockely wackely fashion. So it's a great
testimony to the fact. It's a great testimony to auditors.
 
Now from this point on we have a very narrow track. And
having an extremely narrow track that we can follow we have
to have, one: Confidence that it will give us the gain and
that confidence is borne out of experience. And it will
give you the gains. And, we have to have an application of
it in uniformity, and we have to be able to patch up every
non-standard run case there is. And that sounds like a tall
order, but standard tech patches them up very easily.
 
It's only - certain laws, certain rules, and so forth in
this subject. You can only repair so many repairs, and then
you'd better take the guy who has been fixing it up so that
repairing repairs had to be done, and you'd better get him
grooved up so that when he is put to repairing something
with a perfectly valid C/S, case supervision, he actually
does it, and doesn't produce something else that has to be
repaired. Do you follow?
 
So it is a very bad thing to begin to repair repairs,
because you can start repairing the repairs of repairs, and
then repair the repairs of those repairs which fail to
repair. And the folder gets thicker, and thicker and
thicker.
 
Right now, Quals through the world prior to this date of 24
September 68 are mainly engaged in making up errors to be
repaired. And the folders are very fat indeed. Now, Quals'
stat used to be volume of money paid, but if a person can't
get out of Qual, if he's held a prisoner until he does pay,
which I understand is being done here and there -  that, if
that is the case, then, then, then the statistic itself
doesn't tell anything. You could actually just fix a case
up so that it had to be repaired and Qual would make a
fortune. You see? Now your good case supervisor that's
runnin' 'em along in the HGC and over in Qual, and he's
runnin' 'em along - Then Qual folders are very thin, and
then HGC folders are damn thin too.
 
Now the thing that is most neglected is just this. Is cases
are set up to fly. Standard tech goes this way. You take a
case, take the bugs out of the case, you know, the missed
withholds and the rudiments that have been out, and the guy
has been on gasoline for several years, but you get this
guy set up and you just take the bugs out of the case. And
then you set him up and you point and fire him. And you
don't give a standard tech session unless your PC is
flying.
 
That's who you see those huge letters F-L-U-N-K exclamation
point, exclamation point, in my C/S folders. It is a real
flunk to run any major action without the case already
flying.
 
He says, "But what the hell, what are you talking about?
The guy's PTS, the guy's PTS. His wife's in review. His
wife's in review. That is why he's having a review, because
he's all caved in, he's all caved in, and he's...and
he's...he's PTS. And he's all caved in and that's why he's
having a review...uh, and what do you mean he's got to be
set up and flying before you do a major action?"
 
And then you say an S & D's a major action. "Oh, what the hell? What... what's this?"
 
"Well the S & D's supposed to set him up."
 
And you say, "No, boy. No. No. Down dog, down Rover. No,
no, no. A major listing action. You set him up to run it."
 
"Well, how do you set him up to run?"
 
You get the Ruds in.
 
"Yeah, what if it ah, ah..."
 
"You get the Ruds in."
 
"Oh, I see. You just make sure they are. Uh, yah...you just pull an ARC break" and so on.
 
"No, no, no. You get the Ruds in to F/N."
 
"Get the Ruds in to F/N?"
 
Yeah, well, of course.
 
"Course. Uh,  and then what happens if he doesn't..."
 
"Well, you do a green form 'till you get an F/N."
 
"Yeah but wait a minute, wait a minute. If you're doing a
green form and so forth you can't do this S and D. You
won't do it ..he won't do an S and D unless he's..."
 
"It says he needs it on a green form anyhow."
 
"Oh I see. What if the guy didn't need it?"
 
"Oh yeah, yeah, undoubtedly the guy needed it, but you
might have gotten an F/N on the green form before you got
to PTS and then you wouldn't do it."
 
Well, what's this? You consider it a major action. You say
major action is an S and D. That's right, remedy B is a
major action, S and D is a major action. You set up the
case to F/N. "Now, what, what if we don't... what are you,
what are you talking about? You mean we're not going to run
any more S and Ds?"
 
"No, no, we're not going to...we're going to run S and Ds
when the guy needs some S and D. Why, you get him an F/N
before you run it."
 
"Oh. Well golly, if we didn't have S and Ds we just
couldn't keep Qual solvent at all" he'd say.
 
And you'd say "Good. Go broke for all I care." I like broke Quals. I'd just be as happy as a clam with an org that
never ever had anybody ever walk through the door of Qual.
And spider webs and cobwebs accumulating around the desk.
That'd be just great. Because right now Qual is being used
for case gain. But that isn't where you get case gain. You
don't get case gain in repair. You've just got it backward.
You get case gain with grades and major actions. You put
the case up to fly.
 
You never audit the case unless he's flying. So you always
fly a case before you audit it.
 
Now you begin to understand what it's all about. You don't
try to heal the case with grades, you try to give him
advances and gains. Big, major gains with these grades. And
they get 'em, boy, they get 'em. They'll fly.
 
Standard tech isn't what I say it is. It's what works. And
what works has already been established. So it isn't for me
to say it's different. And it isn't for anybody else to say
it's different either, because we fought for it, and we won
it the hard way. Now let's consolidate it.
 
Now let's get it practiced.
 
The history of standard tech is a very long history. It is
a very hard fought for history. There is a tremendous
quantity of technology in Scientology and Dianetics. It is
one of the largest, broadest bodies of information on the
subject of human behavior that has ever appeared in the
universe. And now I can say without fear of challenge
because I know what's appeared on the back track, and it is
so god damned, stupidly feeble that it consists of no more
than crass superstition.
 
Now, the triumph is that out of this large body of material
which embraces everything known to man or beast; there's
hardly anything unexplored in that whole subject. Out of
that whole, mad, wide ocean of material there's this hair
line that goes right straight through the middle of the
material. So you have to know where the ocean is in order
to get on the hair line. Now that's quite an achievement.
 
Now I'll tell you how the hair line was chosen. And why it
became that terribly narrow path which we now call standard
tech. It is composed of those things, which if they are
out, inhibit and prohibit all case gain. It's a negative
assessment. If the points of standard tech are present,
unresolved, the case will not gain. So obviously the
resolution of these points in their proper sequence is
standard tech.
 
If a fellow has an ARC break he cannot be audited. If he is
audited without the ARC break being handled he will go
immediately into a sad effect. And months later will be
found just sadder and sadder and sadder. Well, it's a fact.
Nothing you argue with. It's a fact. So obviously there's
the ARC break.
 
If the fellow has a present time problem, you try to audit
the individual with a present time problem you'll get no
case change of any kind whatsoever. It just parks itself
right there. It doesn't become sadder, but the case doesn't
change.
 
If you try to audit a person over a missed withhold an
individual will just plow in, and plow in, and plow in. And
he'll natter and get mad, and get mad at himself, and on
the various dynamics and so forth he'll have a hell of a
time.
 
If you try to audit a case that has committed some
tremendous overt, that he considers a tremendous overt,
without ever touching on or letting him discuss or handle
the overt, he'll just go into degradation. Now, if the
overt happens to be on Dianetics and Scientology I actually
guarantee it'll go straight into degradation. There's a
horrible trick you can play on to somebody who has just
been cutting Scientology to ribbons. If you were to audit
one of these, one of these nuts, one of these screaming
painted blue monkey-tailed idiots that have been howling
around about Scientology, and so forth, standard tech would
actually give him a gain.
 
But every time he hits the overt line he would try to do
himself in. So, because you improve his reality, and the
improvement of reality would bring him to a recognition of
the wickedness of his own acts. And you've actually audited
him successfully into degradation. The more successful you
were with your auditing the more he would become degraded.
Do you follow? He would degrade himself. You aren't
degrading him. He has been... now he realizes, since man is
basically good... man, he realizes that he had been
attacking something he shouldn't have attacked and
therefore he is just a filthy pig. And the more it works on
him the more he gets to be a filthy pig. You could actually
handle it by handling overts, if you found the actual
overts. But you'd probably have to couple it with
motivators and overts, and you'd have to handle it very
slippery indeed.
 
It's buttons of this type, buttons of this type. Now there
are more esoteric lines of action, that's various actions
of power, and those are all points on the ladder. Of
course, you don't have to go that far, you get to this
thing called a service facsimile. Every one of these guys
is using some kind of a combination to make people wrong
and himself right. And you walk up into the various strata
of power, and you walk up into power plus which is a
reorientation step, you go up to R6EW which blows whatever
he's got hanging around from GPMs, you move into the CCs,
you've gone down to death, and you move into what is now OT
1, you put him back in the human race, and then you get
some more bank off the line, and OT 2. And you get rid of
the body thetans at 3, and you review him all out straight
and make him in beautiful shape, put him in his own valence
and fix him up so he can confront things at 4, and then you
turn him into an extrovert at 5 and 6, and then in 7 you
let him examine what a horrible dog he has always been.
(Laughter)
 
He usually, eventually comes to this conclusion. Normally
starts out on the basis that he is the only thetan in the
universe who has never committed an overt. (Laughter)
Anyway, if we go on up the line we get to the old one,
"Know thyself." The first dynamic versus the physical
universe. The individual and life versus this universe. 7
is actually life vis a vis with life. And 8 is, of course,
life vis a vis with the physical universe.
 
And the first three great philosophers that Greece produced
took as their opening saga the relationship of life to the
physical universe. They were starting in to the Empire
State building on the top floor. You get to know yourself
on 7 and 8. Mostly on 8. And then begin to find your
relationship, your real relationship with the physical
universe. And the ancient Greek philosopher didn't get any
place because he didn't have any highway to get there. No
highway at all. So standard tech is the highway. And it is
built out of those points which, if they are present, no
advance can occur. And there aren't any more points. Awful
adventurous statement but it's true. There aren't any more
points.
 
There's another trick or two, perhaps, something like that.
Blaaaah. Couple of ways to do one or two of these things.
But the variability, even on those, is weighted in favor of
just one thing to do.
 
So, as you come curving down the line with standard tech,
it goes right straight where we're supposed to go, and you
can hold a case in to that groove, and it is a groove, boy.
It is very terrible.
 
Now I can see you now, trying to get an academy auditor to
see the light. And you've just case supervised this case
and Archibald Swangolen is the auditor. And at the moment
he goes in he finds the case supervision cannot work,
because the PC actually, as it says make sure that you get
the ARC break because the PC is very sad; he goes in there
and he's just sure it's because the PC... just sure it's
because the PC has a missed withhold. So that is why he ran
Grade 4 before he ran...
 
And you say, "Wait a minute boy, what are you doing?"
 
"Oh well, you see, it's just... and somebody came from the
AO the other day and they said it was always best to get
off the service facsimile as soon as possible because then
you could get the overts."
 
You will be in the optimum position to be able to say, "We
do not care who came from the AO the other day. There is
only one standard tech. And there is only one way to do
standard tech. And there is only one way it is done. And
there is only one PC, and that is a standard PC. And you
ain't got a standard PC now. Let's go into this quietly and
back into this folder, and where the hell did you miss the
ARC break to begin with? And do it the right way, shall
we?"
 
You, in case supervision, must first know that standard
tech will solve the case. And that your direction of
standard tech to be done will solve the case if the auditor
will follow your C/S, and if he will keep his TRs in and
finish the cycle of action on the case as it rolls along.
And your confidence must be such that Aloicious Q.
Squashbottom, himself in person, can emerge as the world's
most unstandard piece of balderdash. He spends hours
bragging to everybody how he's very different. And you
still go in against this case and you order and your
enforce the running of standard tech. And Mr.
Squashbottoms' case will fall apart.
 
See, the, the attitude of an auditor handling standard tech
is that of total confidence. And that confidence is
something that is gained. That is won. If, by doing these
actions you obtain an exactly predictable result,
confidence is borne. And it's a very funny thing at this
stage of the game to be talking about anything as positive
as Scientology, as something in which you have to have
confidence. The funny part of it is people have run into
many cases that have been misaudited, that the cases appear
different. Until you look back and find out that the guy
has been talking to his first six auditors tried to tell
him the PTP to those first six auditors and none of them
ever handled it. And then you realize that you'd better
handle the PTP.
 
So therefore it's a rather simple, simple world that you're
dealing with. But you cannot adventure into this world of
standard tech without a total, total grip on the technology
itself.
 
You have to know technology so that... well you just don't
avoid these major points. Like the twelve laws of listing.
Well, hmf. That you don't have to thinkety about these
things, they just are. You see the PC sitting in front of
you, you know the Auditors' Code to a point where you see
that PC sitting in front of you, and he appears just a
little bit dirty as he sits down to session and you've got
sense enough to ask, "Have you had any sleep?" And his skin tone doesn't look good. "Have you had any sleep? Have you
had something to eat? Very good. Alright. We'll have a
session."
 
You don't ask the classic I saw in a folder yesterday. "I
don't know, I haven't had any sleep for six nights," the PC says. And the auditor said, "Shame, shame." The auditor said, "Tell me an earlier time when you've had no sleep." That will become a classic. Because it's a violation of the
Auditors' Code.
 
So you know the Auditors' Code to a point where you don't
have to think about it. And so, the standardness of
standard tech is knowing standard tech so well that you
don't have to think about standard tech in order to do
standard tech. It simply is.
 
Now one of the parts of standard tech is the tremendous
wealth we have here of folders and information. And the
wealth consists of the fact that I have done five hundred
separate supervisions on cases in the last five weeks. Now
that's quite a few. I do them in my part time while I'm
attending to other things. And of these lines the only
cases that aren't flying are the cases that haven't had
their auditing finished yet.
 
We had one very, very famous case. This case was made
unstandard by being very unstandardly approached. The case
staggered aboard, terrible condition. The case was audited.
 
Oddly enough, actually did achieve ARC Straightwire. And
then the person who was on that line at that time said,
"It's a dead thetan needle, so run him more. And ran him
two days as an overrun of ARC Straightwire. And then I said
to the next auditor, "Rehab the ARC Straightwire and run
secondaries." The next auditor went into session, the PC
was running a secondary. Just like that the PC was running
the secondary. The very next step to come up. It was
happening. And the auditor was trying to rehab during that
whole session. Sad day.
 
Time marched on, and then we finally found out that his TA
was so high, and his case was so unapproachable that nobody
could do anything with it, and he got to be known sort of
as the black dog of Carnak. The black dog of Carnak was
somebody who got on peoples' back and never got off.
Because it was a sure assignment of doubt to even touch
this case, because he sort of got it fixed so that you did
something wrong. In other words, he blew the auditors'
cool. (Laughter) In doing such an action the case was bad
luck. So, this case then became very non-standard. It was
an unsolvable case, and he was un-superviseable, and he was
un-auditable, and nobody was willing to audit him. And, uh,
I looked back along the lines and I found out that the case
had R/Sed on missed withholds and connected to suppressive
groups, and later on had blowdowns on missed withholds and
wronging a Scientologist. And in all cases the auditor
hadn't paid any attention to this. So I just sent it back
into
session, we pulled the missed withholds, we got what he was
really connected to, and well, all we did was rehab his
former release on the track on drugs. And the case flew,
straightened out marvelous.
 
Bingo, bango, nothing to it. I don't know how long really
it took to straighten the case out. I don't know how long
the session was. I don't imagine it was more than about 50
minutes. All I had to find was where standard tech had been
violated. And where it had been violated it went to hell.
 
But anyway, it doesn't mean that you won't run into totally
unauditable cases. There are totally unauditable cases.
There's Callahans, Robinsons, and by the time these tapes
are released and heard they probably have been buried long
since in infamy. Uh, but uh, they become unauditable simply
because they never come near an organization or present
themselves to be audited. And that is the only unauditable
case there is.
 
So you're here to learn this magic road. And you think at
the moment it's very easy to grasp this, that's all there
is to it, why did I come here? You haven't heard anything
yet. It took me five weeks to make three Class VIII
auditors. Five weeks. They are cracker jacks. They are
marvelous. You've got to do it in three weeks. And the way
your going to do it in 3 weeks is you're going to study the
materials and then you're going to study the folders then
you're going to study the materials and study the folders
and study the materials and study the folders and your
going to read all the well done sessions as well as the C/S
in the folders and study them until you see how this thing
looks and then you're going to study the bulletins some
more until you see what technique is necessary in order to
do it that way. And that is how its done - and its done by
hard study and it is done by hard practice.
 
At the end of the course just to make sure you know your
business we have a 202 question examination and we expect
you to whip this totally precise - there is only one answer
to the thing and the passing grade is 85. So we mean
business  - we haven't got any time at all - you've got to
learn this, you've got to get back to your orgs - you've
got to get this stuff in .. in order to save the bacon and
save the day. Because it is needed far worse than its ever
been needed before. So that's what class 8 is all about. I
hope my information will be useful to you in the next few
coming days. Thank you very much.
