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

SOP 8-DA THROUGH SOP 80-DH

A lecture given on 30 April 1954


Like to talk to you this morning about Universe Processing
in all of its various wrinkles and attitudes.

Universe Processing was first released under SOP 8-D. This
process consists as follows:

Opening Procedure: Have preclear locate spots in space;
having him walk around the room and touch those spots in
space and get him to such a situation that he can be
comfortable about touching spots in space. 

Step I: Be three feet back of his head-no further step.

Step II: Duplicate whatever he's looking at many times.
Then find a nothing, duplicate it many times.

Step III: Hold the two back corners of the room at least a
minute. Then find some places where he is not.

Step IV (and here we have Universe Processing): We take an
E-Meter; we hand out an assessment by simply having the
preclear discuss those people he has been associated with
since birth. We take those people who are markedly stuck or
who are markedly fluent on the meter. If the meter
consistently and continually sticks, we give the preclear
some ARC Straightwire in order to free the meter slightly
so that we can get some readings.

You know, of course, that if you ask an individual a
question while the meter is stuck, and then another
question and then another question, all you get is stuck
responses. But it's not stuck on the questions you're
asking; it was stuck on the question that was first asked
that stuck it.

All right. So we take that personnel and then we find
places where this personnel would be safe. That would be
Father, Mother, Grandfather, Grandmother, and so forth.
Most of the occlusion which you run into is a prenatal in
restimulation. Therefore, clearing up the universe of
Mother and clearing up the universe of Father quite often
will strip off this occlusion with considerable rapidity.
This is 8-D.

Now, we go on with this process and develop it considerably, 
by doing what? In the first place it has to be developed 
further as the cases are rougher. 8-D just run over and over 
a few times will exteriorize almost anybody you run into, but 
when it doesn't - after you have done Step W and you've cleared 
up a couple of universes more or less...

I beg your pardon, there was another step in Step IV That's
get things that the personnel does not own. And after
you've cleared up Mama and you've found some places where
Mama was safe, so forth, and some things which Mama did not
own, you then, of course, go back to Opening Procedure,
Step I, Step II, Step III, and then maybe clear up some
more Mama or clear up some other personnel that you're
working on. In other words, you must remember that 8-D is a
repetitive sort of thing and almost anywhere in it you
swing through those steps.

Now, there is another step in 8-D which is inherent in all
processing. Any time you ask a preclear to locate some
spots in space, somewhere along the line, sooner if his
case is worser, and later, always - I mean, sometime or 
other you'll always have to do this, but if he's in very 
bad shape you'll have to do this immediately - which is to 
say, remedy his havingness. You ask him to locate a spot 
in space, you've then got to remedy his havingness. If the
case was terribly bad off; just asking him to look into the
room with his physical body's eyes would be sufficient,
then, to have to repair his havingness.

A person will start to get sick at his stomach and so forth
when you give him too much space. Why? Because making space
undoes havingness. When he's not creating new energy it
undoes the havingness which he already has. And, actually,
creating havingness - that is, pulling eight anchor points
together and pulling them in on himself, or mocking up
bodies which he can accept on his acceptance level and
pushing them into himself are, of course, of necessity
simply making space and condensing space.

Havingness is condensed space. And where a person is using
that which he already has in order to make space, why,
space is uncondensed havingness. After you've made him
uncondense some havingness and condense it a few times he
will suddenly realize that he's creating the energy which
he is uncondensing and condensing and so forth. He's
actually just creating energy, and so he gets to a
situation where he's perfectly willing to do this. All
right. Let's look at some further ramifications on 8-D, and
let's discover that we can have an enormous number of 8-Ds
just by varying Step IV

Now let's take 8-D in its purest form and take a person
with it who is very, very, very bad off. We'll have to run
havingness while we're running it. We will have to put up
with considerable communication lag. And in addition to
that we will very, very certainly have to watch this case
very carefully from a standpoint of crossed personnel or
crossed items.

For instance, we've run Mama. And we run Mama for quite a
little while and Papa keeps coming in. Well, if you bypass
Papa's entrance several times without then at least taking
some tension off of Papa, why, the case has a tendency to
hang up. The case, in other words, is pretty well wadded
up, and as you take it apart and so forth you occasionally
have to deviate from just clearing up Mama's universe and
clear up Papa's for a little while.

But an auditor can err here - he can err badly - by just
taking... Out in Los Angeles, by the way, they have some
interesting auditors - very, very interesting people.
They've never studied Dianetics or Scientology and yet they
audit with it continually. This is an interesting trick.
It's done by telepathy. What they do, I guess, is hook
into the ne plus ultra bank, the ridge that floats over the
Pacific or something of the sort, the fog bank that settles
over Los Angeles, and consider that it knows all, and then
just go on "what-fogging" with the case for a long time.
Well, somebody hears vaguely some rumor about some new
process. So they immediately conclude Hubbard has changed
his mind again. Actually, it's quite interesting that 8-D
is the application of the first primary principle of
Dianetics. Survive. See? Where people are safe? Well, we've
really changed our mind.

Anyway, they hear some rumor about this and an auditor out
there very recently took another auditor who - this second
auditor had better sense; this second auditor had better
sense than to ever come near a couch around this other
auditor because this other auditor wasn't trained - and
this auditor ran out on this preclear, just far enough to
get each one into apathy, about eight universes
consecutively. In other words, ran Papa till the preclear
was in apathy, ran Mama till the preclear was in apathy,
ran Grandpa till the preclear was in apathy. Never, never
pushed them across the chasm at all, just ran each one up
to the point of apathy. Well, of course, apathy is down
there around mass. And if you're going to get a congealed
mass, it's on the emotion level of apathy. Of course, the
preclear was in terrible condition, and it took an auditor
who did know what he was doing quite some little time to
untangle this preclear. If I got the story right, I think
about five hours or something like that, just to untangle
this preclear.

So you can cross personnel very badly and incorrectly by
doing such a trick you see as running personnel until the
preclear goes downtone, and taking another one. The way to
do it when you run into crossing personnel - you run Mama and
it's just getting consistent, now Papa has shown up and
shown up and shown up. Well, let's clear Papa for a few
minutes, remembering that we have to go back to Mama, and
then we clear up Mama some more.

When you are doing a job on a preclear which gives you a
big cross-up of personnel, let's remember to hold to the
main line until it is even at least slightly clear. See?

Let's hold to the main line, let's say Mama's universe,
only clearing up those universes which insist on intruding
with just enough so that we can get back to Mama again. In
other words, let's clean up what we start, because this
manifestation will take place if you have done any kind of
a job as an auditor. Whether tensely or otherwise, or
relaxedly, Mama will suddenly spring into the place where
Mama is and be only there.

It's actually a visual, emotional effort manifestation. The
preclear will say, "Say, Mama's over... Mama...." His
mother's buried in Milwaukee. "Mama's in Milwaukee! Yeah,
well there she is. Milwaukee!" And this will strike him as
very peculiar. Sometimes there is considerable tension left
on this. But do you know something? There isn't any really
enormous value in going up and clearing it beyond the
spring part. You've just got to take new personnel now.
It's new personnel that is causing the ridge tension which
he's getting in there. So let's clear up new personnel now.

But how long do you run one of these? Well, I can't tell
you in terms of hours, but you could be fully prepared to
run one twenty hours, gaining all the time. And all of a
sudden, at the end of two hours of processing or five
hours - and in cases that are in pretty good shape you know,
Step I's that have been on a Grand Tour and so forth, when
you run this you can expect it to take place in fifteen to
twenty minutes on some universe springing apart - but all of
a sudden Mama's over there, the preclear is where he is.
This is a source of great relief to him. He actually tells
you that they spring apart.

Now, where they don't spring apart the auditor has crossed
up the case with a whole lot of new universes. You know, he
ran each one down to apathy and each one down to apathy.
Well, all you'd have to do like that if you... in some such
a condition is to have him reach and withdraw from the
auditing rooms, and repair his havingness in terms of
auditors or something of the sort - dead auditors. And then
pick up the first universe clipped on the case and clean it
up. Pick it up and clean it up, and you'll get this
spring-apart mechanism. And then you'll get another one to
spring apart and another one to spring apart and another
one to spring apart.

Now, don't expect the most significant universe to turn up
first. It isn't necessarily true that it will. The first
universe to turn up is the first one that dives on the
E-Meter. Mama, Papa, other personnel that we consider very
significant, may be lying there very quietly. Well, just
leave it alone. You got a big dive on a universe, clean it
up. In the first place this gives confidence to the
preclear. He will see, then, very early in the case this
spring-apart mechanism of universes, and you'll certainly
have him out of at least one. So you pick up the one which
deeply dives on the assessment.

Well, there are other variations on this. All these
variations by the way are aimed at cases which are in
terrible condition. You don't have to vary 8-D if you've
got a case that's in real good condition - you know, a case
that we ordinarily, in the old days, have considered SOP 8,
Step III, something like that, or even Step IV But you get
a case who is SOP 8, Step V - resistive and so forth - well,
you have to go into variations on this.

Well now, the first variation that you would run into on it
is this: a bracket on the auditing command. The auditing
command, SOP 8-D, in its most simple form is simply, "Where
are some places..." or "Give me some places where blank
(Mama) is safe or would be safe." "Give me some places
where Mama would be safe. Give me some places where Mama
would be safe. Spot some more places where Mama would be
safe." You just keep on with that.

Now, the next variation, however, would be to address a
bracket to that. And a case which is having lots of trouble
will profit by having a bracket addressed to it. Sometimes
this is very rough. You're saying, "Give me some places
where Mama is safe." Oh boy, that's as rough as can be.
What's happened? You have somebody who is (quote)
"buttered all over the universe," so to speak, and you have
to run a bracket just to free him up. How do you run this
bracket? You say, "Give me some places where Mama would
find you safe." And you'd run for a while "Give me some
places where Mama is safe or would be safe," and then "Give
me some places where Mama would find you safe," and then
"Some more places where Mama would find you safe. Now some
places where you would find Mama safe." In other words, we
would just run this two ways on a bracket.

Well, a bracket could get very fancy in this. "Give me some
places where Mama would consider other people safe." "Give
me some places where other people would consider Mama
safe." "Give me some places where Mama would consider
herself safe." You see, you could go on and on and on with
this.

Actually, as I said, a case which is processing relatively
swiftly - you know where you'd clean up the universes,
ordinarily clean up Mama's universe in maybe a couple of
hours of processing; fellow isn't exteriorized but he's not
doing too badly, no tremendous comm lag - you'd just use 8-D
just as is. And the two auditing commands you'd use is just
"Places where Mama is safe" and "Some things Mama doesn't own."

And when you got to, however, a Step V, why, you'd have to
introduce this additional part of the bracket - "Some places
where Mama would find you safe." You see that? It's a
matter of judgment. Now, this case has gone two hours in
auditing on Mama's universe and he seems to be awfully
stuck; well, you should have noticed a long time before
that that you were dealing with a very sticky case indeed.
Your judgment is entered here. You look at the case; the
needle is very sticky on the dial, the case is having
trouble, the communication lags are very long: you just
start putting in brackets. You see, "Give me some places
now where Mama would find you safe." Just put in some
brackets on the thing. Just two brackets is sufficient.

But let's say the case is really buttered all over the
universe; you could run all the brackets that you could
think of.

What's a bracket? Well, I refer you to earlier work in
this, and in particular to Issue 16-G of the Journal of
Scientology. A bracket is, of course, at optimum six ways.
Self for others, others for self, self for self, other people
for other people (that is, the other self for self) and
other people for other people. Six ways.

Now, we have a great many more variations for 8-D.

Now, what universes are really in trouble? Universe one:
the body, the body's universe. Now, you're not going to
stretch that immediately into a process with somebody. That
isn't the first thing you'd hit, because actually you have
to take this person out of some other universes before you
can take him out of the body's universe. Because the last
two universes you have to take him out of are (1) the
body's universe, and (2) the physical universe. And the
first step of taking him out of the physical universe would
be "Places where God is safe." That would be a routine
step. So that there are a great many more 8-Ds.

TBD

Now, you've just got 8-D just as such. Now, let's take
8-DA. 8-DA is a process whereby you would take all the
sexual items you could categorize and, with or without
brackets, find out where they were safe as far as the
preclear is concerned. "Where is semen safe?" "Where are
ovum safe?" "Where are wombs safe?" "Where are genitals
safe?" and so forth.

Now, this would be 8-DA. The only difference here is Step
IV is changed. We use the same processes again. We've got a
wheel here, and what we do is run from the center Opening
Procedure, out through Opening Procedure, Step I, Step II,
Step III to Step IV That's each spoke of the wheel, but
Step IV on this wheel is different for every spoke. All
right. So then 8-DA would take sex and find where sex was
safe. And in a case which is having a very rough time, find
sex was safe in a bracket. In other words, "Where would
sperm find you safe?" See? "Where would you find sperm
safe?" but also "Where would sperm find you safe?" Now,
"Where would you find wombs safe? Where would wombs find
you safe?"

Now, again you have to repair havingness when you run that
step. Now, that is the name of another spoke, 8-DA, and it
is simply changed to this degree, that Step IV contains all
the sexual elements.

Now, let's get up to the next spoke where we change Step IV
again, and we have 8-DB. Now, 8-DB would be this (and you
could go right on around on this formula): It would be
various physical functions. But its bracket, of course - 
we've just got through treating sex haven't we? Well now, 
what's that on the Know to Sex Scale? That's rock bottom 
isn't it? So 8-DB, of course, would be eating and would 
contain excreta as part of the process of eating. See that? 
And it would contain also the organs involved in eating -
stomachs, mouths, teeth, bowels, rectum. We just got through 
handling sex so now let's handle eating, and that's 8-DB. 
See that?

Now, when you ask somebody, "Where would you find... Where
would a stomach be safe?" and "Where would a stomach find
you safe?"... Actually, if this case is having a hard time
you'd better ask the reverse first - "Where would a stomach
find you safe?" Because that's where he's sitting. He's
being driven to make money, he's being driven to work, he's
being driven to do this and do that solely because he gets
hungry. Heck of a note, isn't it? In 8-DA you will discover
that one of the reasons he objects to surviving, perhaps,
is because his father is, by some token, alive as long as
the body he is in is alive. That is to say, as long as the
preclear's body is alive his father's body is alive. And
he'll come along the line and discover that he is doing a
life continuum against his will. He doesn't like this. All
right. We go up to 8-DB and I say we handle eating - excreta,
stomachs, throats, mouths, bowels, anus, teeth. You would
be amazed how upset the stomach gets if the preclear has
his teeth pulled. That's right. That's totally that band
upset. Somebody who's worried about the dentist and so
forth is stuck at that position of the Know to Sex Scale.
His stomach is worried about the fact that pretty soon
he's not going to have any teeth to eat with. That's about
that.

Now, right there we find a terror. There is terror in this
eatingness step, DB. Terror, however, belongs way up in an
upper emotional bracket which is much later on this series
of spokes. But you will find sickness and terror coming in
there. Well, you just go on running the stomach - where the
stomach would find the preclear safe, and where the
preclear would find the stomach safe. But there is that
terror which nags and tears at the stomach - is right in that
bracket. It's the terrific concern of the stomach to go on
living by eating. Nothing more debased than that - living
solely and totally to eat.

All right. Now let's go up to 8-DC. And what do we find at
8-DC? We find symbols - speech, written words, pieces of
paper, books, textbooks, magazines, lectures, everything
and anything you want to name in terms of symbolical
communication, words, so forth. That one solves the first
book. Now, how do you do that one? Now, let's just take a
little review - how do we do that one? Let's take a look here
and find out that on that one, sitting right square in the
middle of it, are all your recodified, retranslated
interpersonal relations. Interpersonal relations sit up
there at 8-DC, symbols. A person is interpreting from
interpretations and so forth. And pictures belong there, so
don't forget to have pictures as part of 8-DC, see,
including engrams. And there's where we run out engrams.

And what process do we use now? I'll go over this again:
Opening Procedure, Step I, Step II, Step III, and the Step
IV of that step, which in this case is symbols - books,
words, spoken words, magazines, textbooks, books,
pictures. In other words, symbols. A symbol is a mass
which is mobile with a meaning. That's the definition of a
symbol. A symbol is a mass which is mobile with a meaning.
And you say, "Why, you reduce everything in the physical
universe to a symbol, don't you?" Yup, you can reduce
everything down to any step you want. You can reduce
everything down to sex. You can reduce everything down to
eating. You can reduce everything down to symbols.

And now let's take 8-DD. There is no 8-DDT. And this really
should be God, shouldn't it? But it isn't. It's just taken
in rotation as we come up the scale. Now, you see there
isn't any reason for you to forget this because you know
this Know to Sex Scale, and they just follow backwards up
the Know to Sex Scale, and we've gotten into and dropped
into, immediately, thinking.

The next spoke then-the Step IV of that spoke-is thoughts,
thinking, figuring, computing and problems. Particularly
problems: where are they safe and where do they find the
preclear safe?

All right. Now let's go to 8-DE, and find out what we find
at 8-DE. Well, by golly, here at last we've gotten into the
physical universe. We've moved up into the physical
universe. Actually, as you begin to survey preclears, you
will see very adequately they are not in the physical
universe when they are in the sex band, the eatingness
band, the symbol band or the thinking band. They're not in
the physical universe; they can't contact this space out
here. This is not just a little theoretical scale we've got
here from sex up to know. It happens to be the way
preclears behave.

For instance, John came in the other day and he says, "The
Cattlemen's Association is having an awfully hard time.
They find out their stock isn't breeding lately. See,
they're having an awful time getting cattle to breed, and
what do they do about it?" Of course, the answer is
obvious. You'd have to starve the cattle before they would
breed. The answer is right there on the Know to Sex Scale.
He picked it up and he thought this was a very amusing
application of it. It's quite true. The remedy which they
are looking for... They're spending a lot of money and a
lot of people and so forth. And the answer is sitting right
here in this Sex to Know Scale. They won't breed for the
future generation if surviving in their present mock-up is
too comfortable. That's right. And if they've got plenty
to eat they won't breed. You have to cut their rations or
make their food bad, and they'd breed. What the solution
is in that respect, is you take a number of cattle and just
segregate them out as good breeding stock, you see, and you
take them out on some range someplace or another where the
pickings were but slim, and you'd have lots of calves. You
have to take some bulls out there too, I mean.

But we've moved up here, in E, into the physical universe.
Now, you say it'd be very, very nice if we simply had named
each one of these as they went up the line by some
designating letter which matched up. No, because we're
giving you the alphabet in the rotation that they ought to
be done, and that alphabet is very easy for you to
understand simply because the scale is just backwards on
the Sex to Know Scale. So that's very easy for you to plot.
Any time you want to know which designating letter it is,
as we go up the line, sex is A; eating, B; symbols, C;
thinking, D; E, physical universe; F, emotions; G, look
and perception in general; and H, know. Now, all we have to
do is just look backwards on the Sex to Know Scale and
we've got it.

All right. Now, I'm going to surprise you a little bit,
kiddies. You've got a case that you're beating to pieces by
using the full panorama of 8-D, you've got a case that has
probably all the problems incident to the physical
universe. Now, an individual can make more postulates and
believe more things than will ever be found in this
universe. But what's wrong with this guy is he believes
only what's found in this universe, which - believe me,
that's really reduced his perimeter of vision.

And I have a great surprise for you: It isn't space so much
and it isn't havingness; it's the manifestations of these
things that really get the case - the consideration, the
feeling incident to these things. Why is this guy stuck in
his head? Because he believes he ought to stand by bodies
and all that sort of thing? No, the answer is gravity.
Gravity. This person is afraid of gravity. You've cleared
up a lot of considerations when we've gotten this far on
the route, see? You've cleared up a lot of considerations
with this case one way or the other, but the consideration
which you have to clear up on the effort part of the Sex to
Know Scale, which is 8-E... 8-DE rather, is gravity. And
that's the first thing where you find out on the Step IV,
gravity - where would the preclear be safe from gravity.

I won't tell you to take that to heart. If you run into
very many cases that are in this category they'll take it
to stomach. Right into the pit of the stomach. Listen,
you're going to run into case after case that wishes he
could hold his own; he just feels he's getting worse and
worse. You know, if he could just get something so he could
hold his own he'd feel happier about the whole thing.

What's the matter with him? He's in a falling engram. He's
worried about the fact that he's going down and there's
evidently no bottom to hit. Now, get that. There's no
bottom. He's just going to get worse and worse and worse
and worse, he knows this, and he knows the longer he stays
in the MEST universe, the worse he's going to get, and that
there's really no great remedy for this and there's really
no way out. Why? Because brother, when you start falling
you just keep on falling until you hit, and that's
distasteful too. The fellow doesn't dare reach bottom.

How many preclears have had falling dreams when a child?
Well, that preclear later on will wind up with this
computation, you can just count on it, that it's liable to
get worse and worse and it'll never end. And he can't reach
bottom.

The very funny part of this is you could simply ask him
where bottoms would be safe - and you think I'm just being
facetious now - and, by George, this'll clear up. Just Where
are bottoms safe? Where would bottoms find him safe? Oh
well, we get into spankings and we get into all sorts of
things but, boy, he'll sure get into falling in a hurry.

Well, you know it's after about the third bounce when
you've done a deep fall - you know, a very steep, long
fall - it's only about the third bounce that finds the fellow
safe. That first bounce - that's real bad. And here we get
into the whole problem of (quote) "after the impact." After
the impact was over is safe. So that we never really find
an impact is safe; we always find the preclear searching
for the point after the impact which is after the point
when the pain hit.

So let's look at this more anatomically, and let's find out
the individual, when he hit the wall, really didn't hurt;
he didn't feel the pain or sensation till he came off of
the wall. And then he didn't really get comfortable, you
see. So the dangerous point was really after the hit, after
the impact. And the only safe point would be at the moment
when he got well from that having bounced. Now, the way
this says to him reactively is "Bouncing off of something
hurts. Hitting and holding to it doesn't hurt." You'll find
him holding on to impacts, right in the middle of impacts,
because that doesn't hurt. It's only when you let go that
it hurts. And you're sitting there working and slaving as
an auditor, and spitting your teeth out practically over
this case, and what do we discover? We discover that this
case has the concept that if he ever let go of the impacts
he's holding on to, it would hurt like the devil.

Now, let's get gravity into this and find out that the
heaviest impacts individuals have ever received have been
as a result of two things: (1) explosions, and (2)
gravity. As far as explosions are concerned, they have a
tendency to work out in terms of gravity. An individual
can exteriorize even if he is messed up with an explosion
where he won't be able to exteriorize when he's messed up
with gravity. So you could ask people where explosions are
safe just to clear up the other part of this as part of E,
8-DE. But the point is, it's "Where's the bottom safe?"
"Where is the impact safe?" and "Where is gravity safe?"

Now, in the process of falling through empty space an
individual conceives an enormous disgust and distaste for
empty space, believe me. He doesn't want anything to do
with it because he's falling through space and this
fallingness is presaging the fact that in a very few
seconds his havingness is going to be zero. Now, his
havingness is going to go zero and this is presaged by the
fact that he is falling through empty space which contains
the sensation "sick at your stomach." So his computation
later in life, when he feels he's going to lose something
he gets sick at his stomach. He's dramatizing a falling
engram. Do you see that? His havingness is going to be zero
after the bounce and he's not going to have a body anymore,
he's not going to have a mass, and his problem is
essentially simply a problem of waiting for the bump.

There was a little cartoon in World War I - fellow by the
name of... I think his name was Bairnsfeather, used to
draw a lot of very comical cartoons in World War I - a
Britisher. And he drew this one where the pilot is falling
out of his airplane. Airplane has been all blown up and
he's falling free through space, and he has the altimeter
in his hand. And he's falling and he's looking at this
altimeter and he's saying, "Well, three thousand feet more
and then the bump," the guy is saying. He was a British
pilot - "Keep calm."

And he had another cartoon that's on the opposite page
there, I might as well mention it in passing. The idiocy of
this whole thing is very represented in this other cartoon.
This fellow is falling free from another airplane which has
just blown up, and there's a monkey wrench has just gone by
and he's looking at this monkey wrench in great tension; he
says, "You know that thing almost hit me!" They didn't
have parachutes in those days.

Well, while your preclear is worrying about his loss of
havingness in the future, you see, and so forth, he'll get
this fall-through-space terror at the pit of the
stomach - this empty feeling, this loss feeling, pit of 
the stomach and so on. It all adds in, and if you want to
compute it through you would get a very interesting
computation. But the point is that people get sick at their
stomach when they're falling and they're afraid of hitting.

Now, this is your preclear whose case is deteriorating,
whose life is deteriorating, whose whole spiral is
deteriorating more and more and more. And he knows it; he
knows it can only get worse, it can never get any better.
This he's very certain of. He's simply waiting for the
bounce. "Three thousand feet more," he's saying, "and then
the bounce." Only the bounce never arrives. So you just
find bottom for him. You find out where it would be safe to
hit.

Now, you know the mechanisms of it, and it's going to
translate through to the preclear in various ways, very
many ways, but don't be surprised if you get a bit of
terror turning on as you run "Where would it be safe to
hit? All right, now give me some places where gravity would
be safe, it would be safe to have gravity. Or some places
where you could be safe from gravity." And that is an
excellent command for this - "Some place where you could be
safe from gravity" - because that sometimes is where he's
sitting, which is the exact balance spot between the sun,
moon and Earth.

He is terrified of gravity. He's stuck in his head and he
feels sure that he's going to sag through into his stomach,
and then he'll probably go out his feet and go on into the
center of the Earth.

You want to know how basic this is in the society, this is
all that permits people to be frightened of going to hell.
That's all there is, just gravity. Fellow feels he's going
to bust through the crust and wind up in the molten core of
Earth. And he knows this kind of instinctively and so he
becomes terrified of gravity and it's very, very easy to
sell him pie or anything else in the sky. The easiest thing
to sell him in the sky would be a seat. So we have God's
throne and other manifestations. He can be sold a seat in
the sky any day of the week. All the way down he's trying
to put up enough mock-ups and make it solid enough for him
to land on them instead of what's below.

Now, crashes into black planets with spaceships are very
usually in suspension. They're funny, however. They appear
to be on a vertical line. You see, you were in this
spaceship and you were coming in at the planet, so
therefore what was up was above your head and what is down
to that planet or dark star would be in front of your face.
So you have head-on falling engrams such as going right
into a black star. That is very terrifying to a spaceman,
to such a degree that it completely overwhelms him. And
when you run it you will find he desires black stars. He's
just inverted on it.

You can ask somebody who is relatively in fair shape just
to spot all the spots where he's crashed into black
planets, and then have him remedy the havingness of black
planets and all the spots he's crashed into them and
remedy the havingness on them and go round and round;
you'll probably turn on more visio than he ever knew existed.

Now, there's many a preclear who gets out of his head and
snaps back in. This is the yo-yo effect. He is dramatizing
gravity. The body is dramatizing the gravity. The reason a
preclear cannot lift his body off of the couch is gravity,
naturally. But gravity is consideration - a consideration.

People have a certain envy of snakes. Believe me, they've
hit bottom. They've really hit end of cycle. Remember now
that nonexteriorization is easiest handled by remedying all
fear of falling and all fear of the stick-to-ivity of MEST
objects. MEST has one motto which is "Stick together," and
they're stuck to it.

All right. You can remedy one heck of a lot in a case with
8-DE by remedying nothing but gravity. Now you have to get
a little fancy about it sometimes.

"Where would you be safe from gravity?" And he says "Huh?"

Well, you'd better define your auditing command and say,
"Well, where would it be safe to fall?"

That's just another way of running it, see, and he'd say,
"Oh, on a feather bed."

"Spot one."

"Onto this, onto that. In a fireman's net. Here, there,
someplace, safe to fall, safe to fall." Of course, the
truth of the matter is it's safe for a thetan to fall
anyplace. Honest, he can fall anywhere. If his havingness
is down to zero, the effect that gravity can have on him is
zero. Gravity is a consideration, but much worse than this,
it can be remedied as a consideration to such a degree - this
is terrible to tell you this - to such a degree that a body
doesn't experience it. But you'd have to remedy the body's
fear of gravity before it would easily levitate.

Many ways of doing this. Where is a person safe from
gravity? Of course, in the center of the Earth. Gravity's
going in all directions. Possibly Earth is just a thetan
who is so scared of gravity, he's creating it. Could be,
you see. Doesn't have to be, but could be. Certainly with
all the hellfire and damnation talk there have been a few
slip down to the center of Earth. You get down there,
you're liable to find it populated.

All right. Now, you could and if it was necessary to do so,
carry on such drills as this: "Where would space be safe?"
"Where would material objects be safe?" "Where would this
be safe and that be safe in terms of just matter, energy,
space and time?" You could say, "Where would clocks be
safe?" "Where would it be safe to take a long breath with
nothing pushing you?" See, that would be time. Most people
are rush, rush, rush, crowd, crowd, crowd, crowd.

And, by the way, I'll just give you in passing here a very,
very quick definition on the subject of time. It may be
that the total creation of time and the total modus
operandi of time is simply your refusal to have viewpoints.
You see, if you refuse to have the viewpoint which you just
had, you'd get a new viewpoint, wouldn't you? Then if you
refused to have this viewpoint which you just had then
you'd have a new viewpoint, wouldn't you? And so you'd get
pocketa-pocketa-pocketa-pocketa, all the way down the time
track. And this would explain engrams going into
restimulation because the basic thing in each experience is
"I don't want this viewpoint anymore." Maybe when a person
is tolerant of all viewpoints - as I talked to you about
the other day - maybe when a person at last is tolerant about
all viewpoints, maybe time will do anything he wants it to
do. Maybe.

All right. So time could be said to be an intolerance of
viewpoints which you've just had, and you would get the
tick of the clock, just as sure as shootin'.

All right. All that would come under various headings, but
they would be 8-E. So Step IV in 8-E is... 8-DE, is to
remedy an individual's fear of the physical universe in
terms of gravity and effort and space and time. It could be
a long and complicated process, couldn't it? And yet there
are only two parts of it that are important. One is
gravity, this time for the purpose of exteriorization, and
the other one is effort itself.

So we've got an A and a B for Step IV of 8-DE. Remember
that although we're treating the physical universe, we're
also treating effort. And that is the name of that band at
that point. So let's hit that point right there with this
one: "Where would a working man be safe?" "Where would a
working woman be safe?" "Where would working men find
thetans safe?" and "Where would working women find thetans
safe?" That's the rest of the step. Gravity, working men,
working women, and in its purity, that is your step.

And now let's go into SOP 8-DF, which is just a new spoke
of the wheel. We've already handled E. All right, now F is
emotion, and so it has several parts: "Where is apathy
safe?" "Where is grief safe?" "Where is fear safe?" "Where
is anger safe?" "Where is antagonism safe?" "Where is
boredom safe?" and "Where is enthusiasm safe?" and "Where
is courage, enjoyment and serenity safe?" That would be
reductio ad absurdum. This would be the ne plus ultra of
this step, wouldn't it? I mean, you develop that step it
would simply be the Tone Scale backwards. Where is each one
safe and where would each one find you safe?

But really, there's only one of them that's very important
for the purposes of the auditor and that's terror. "Where
does terror find you safe?" "Where do you find terror
safe?" And that is the step of 8-DF, total step. But you,
of course, are very much at liberty to vary that if you see
the individual is definitely in grief. "Where is grief
safe?" But the key one, and the one you've got to hit if
you're running this wheel all the way around, the only one
you really hit to amount to anything is terror. Well,- you
will take the rest of the falling engram off, see? You will
do the rest of the falling engram, because there was
terror in it.

Now, you've loosened up this case on fear, on terror,
already by running out "gravity safe" somewhat. And you've
probably got him gorgeously restimulated on terror, so you
just flip over onto it.

Now, the funny part of it is, he may be in apathy - more
apathy than terror. This is to your judgment, but remember
that you've got to clean up terror on the case. See, you
could run some other emotions but you've got to clean up
terror.- Of course, what's really holding him up against
and in things is anger and hate, to tell you the honest
truth of the matter. But just as far as this step is
concerned we're going to run the terror off the case. We
already got it started with falling, let's finish it up
with 8-F, and go on immediately to the next step up the
line which is G. And that is "Where would viewpoints be
safe?" "Where would viewpoints find you safe?"

Now, just add to that one, just remembering that one as a
neat little modus operandi, that the whole Sex to Know
Scale is being used to make space one way or the other.
Remember this, the body is trying to make space in the most
peculiar and numerous ways imaginable. People are trying to
make space with excreta. According to Freud this was very
aberrative. And it's true. They try to make space with
this, they try to make space with that. They try to make
space with words. All kinds of things. But you're mainly
interested in viewpoints and that is the command which is
run as G: "Where are viewpoints safe?"

Okay. And then we go as the final one right straight off
the band... Oh, you could make that G very complicated, you
know. "What's it safe to smell?" and so on. Boy, could you
really build that one into a full production, but the only
thing you want there is viewpoints. And we get into the
next one and, what do you know, we get into our first
tolerable no-space exercise. We don't pay any attention to
space for DH, 8-DH. "What is it safe to know?" That's it.
Of course, reverse to that's true is "What is there that's
safe known about you?" "What is it safe for people to know
about you?" "What is it safe for your mother or father to
know about you?" something on that order. But the basic
command is "What is it safe to know?"

Now, that, up and down the line, is the wheel. And the only
reason you own this wheel is because cases very often, too
often, insist on hanging up on something like 8-C. You
understand, 8-C's quite rapid, does quite remarkable
things, and then we find a case hanging up on it. Well,
let's go into this case and let's butcher it and tear it 
to pieces.

The first thing we would do is simply say, "Well,
8-D-that's what we'll run. We'll just run some 8-D and hope
for the best." You know, we spring Mama's universe out and,
by golly, you know Mama's universe springs off of this case
in about forty-five minutes, bing. And there went Papa's
universe off the case, bing, and there went Grandpa and
Grandma and some aunts and uncles and so forth. Oh heck,
just nothing to this. You've got this guy mopped up. But
let's say it didn't happen that way. Then you'd better go
in for a full wheel.

So what's the gradient scale of tough cases? Here are
processes which certainly address every side of them that
you could imagine. Gradient scale of tough cases would find
you, first, very competent and easily handling good old
8-C, just as itself, eight steps. Running them then on a
Grand Tour and chased them around, going up, you might say,
into 8-O. 8-C, 8-O would be your modus operandi. That would
be all there was to it - very easy, routine, so forth.

Yeah, but supposing this case didn't work out after a few
minutes of 8-C; you didn't get him exteriorized and so
forth. Well, this takes some 8-D. We just consider he's
stuck in some other universe, doesn't have a viewpoint of
his own. Let's see if we can swap his universes. We run
down, then, just 8-D, just right according to it is,
Opening Procedure of 8-D, which is "Locate some spots in
space. Be three feet back of your head. Duplicate whatever
ydu're looking at. Find a nothing, duplicate it several
times. Hold on to the two back corners of the room. Find
some places where you are not. All right, now take a hold
of that electrode there. And let's see now who have you
known since birth?"

"Well," he says "I've known Mama." And here we go, see? And
we just take the deepest bop on this. If we get a stuck,
why, of course, we free it up with a little Straightwire
and take some more assessment. Then we clear up the deepest
diving universe there and go back up through 8-D and come
down to some more of it, finding out where it would be
safe, what it would own.

All right, so the guy didn't break up on this. Made him a
little better but boy was it going to take you time as an
auditor. Just resign yourself to the fact that it's going
to take time to roll the case. Tell him so. You don't care
whether he makes a postulate or not; he hasn't got any
postulates to make anyhow.

And you just start in right then. You can go ahead, then,
run some more personnel for quite a while, take a lot of
edge off of his case. And then DA, DB, DC, DD, DE, DF, DG,
DH. You'll never get to DH. I can just tell you that;
you'll just never get there. He'll spring and become
somebody for you to now use SOP 8-C on before you get to H.

If the case is hanging up clear on through to E - he's just
been so worried about gravity he just can't let go, he's
liable to fall, he's afraid, he just knows he's going to
hit bottom, he's never going to get well. The case that
nothing is happening is sort of suspended in an impact. But
the case that's never going to get well, he's just falling
forever. He just is going to get worse and worse. Well,
you'll solve that on the case which is one of the principal
things you run into with a really rough case. You'll solve
these sexual connotations and so forth. But, boy, you're
in for a lot of hours of auditing on this case, so you
might as well just make up your mind to put them in.

I don't know of faster processes, I'm sorry to tell you -
or I'd tell you about, because it just would be hope, hope,
hope, hope. "I hope. I hope," on the part of the auditor.
"Well, we'll try this, we'll try that, we'll try something
else, we can try something else." And after he got all
through, how many elements would he have had to clean up in
the case? He'd have to have cleaned up the entire Sex to
Know Scale in some fashion or another when he finally got
through. He would have cleaned these up, so why not do it
in an orderly fashion? The case is going to be rough, he
knows he's going to have to hit and clean up so many things
on this case. Of course, it gets into an auditor's judgment
to a slight degree, how long do you run each one of these
things? Well, you run it until you get a rise in tone or a
freer needle, then go on to something else.

Actually you could run it quite rapidly if you wanted to.
But you'd certainly better not start in on any kind of a
universe and run it until the preclear is in apathy. You
run any kind of a universe you start in on until the
preclear springs apart from that universe. You start a
universe you get this spring-apart mechanism. It is there,
it does happen, it is worth waiting for and it is worth
auditing toward. You'll get your very stable advances on
the part of this case, and you'll go on getting advances on
the part of this case. And those advances will be held.

You actually don't give a darn, actually, in any reasonable
number up to two hundred hours, how much time you would
have to put on on a case if the case were just going on
getting well; you were getting better and you were getting
better and you were getting better and better. I won't say
that you'd ever have to put in that many hours on a case.
But an auditor would actually be perfectly content to audit
maybe two hundred hours on a case if the case just kept
right on pulling up the grade.

You see, the difference is an auditor auditing for maybe a
hundred hours on a case with no improvement. Oh, that would
be a tough thing to take, wouldn't it? But you could audit
a hundred hours on a case if the case was just steadily
improving.

Well, on examination it has been found that cases steadily
improve on this system which is 8-C, 8-D, and a wheel and
back to 8-C again. And the Advanced Course Procedure, which
includes all these various drills, Grand Tours, which, of
course is really part of 8-O.
