ADDRESS OF AUDITOR TO PRECLEAR - SATURDAY EVENING COURSE
continuation 3/3
[go to 2.nd part of this lecture]
Then suddenly you as an auditor will get an idea of how engrams look, and can say, "Well, they run out this way or they behave that way, and, gosh, look what happens to the guy when this happens," and so on. Don’t keep on auditing wholly and only a patient that you can’t Emd anything in. Because if you go and find a patient who is fairly wide open and Emd out what his engram bank looks like and you know what his track looks like, you can say, "This is the way these things work." And now you have gotten an insight into the situation and can tackle this case and very often it will fold up just like the one in the following demonstration is going to..
- LRH:
- What’s been worrying you lately?.
- PC:
- Nothing..
- LRH:
- Oh, nothing worries you?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- "Nothing worries me, I feel fine." Go over that line..
- PC:
- Nothing worries me, I feel fine.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again. .
- PC:
- Nothing worries me, I feel fine.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- Nothing worries me, I feel fine.".
- LRH:
- That’s a swell manic to have. You know the swellest manic I ever had on my hands was a person who was "calm." And this person would go into a screaming fit if you inferred she was not calm, yet she was a terror to all beholders.
Go on, you feel fine. "Nothing is wrong with me, I feel fine." Who used to talk about how fine they felt around you?.
- PC:
- Nobody that I know of..
- LRH:
- Come on. You can remember it. You can remember it. Did your mother ever complain about her health?.
- PC:
- She said it was a good thing how she felt. She felt pretty good most of the time..
- LRH:
- She said what?.
- PC:
- (sounds cheerful) She said she felt good, yah..
- LRH:
- All right. Was she sickly?.
- PC:
- No. She was fine..
- LRH:
- How long did she used to keep this up? Was she very insistent on it or was she just a mild, nice woman?.
- PC:
- Yeah. Nice and easy..
- LRH:
- You liked her, nice and easy going?.
- PC:
- Yeah..
- LRH:
- How was the old man? Was he bad?.
- PC:
- He’s all right..
- LRH:
- "He’s all right." Now wait a minute, that’s not a very positive statement. You can remember what kind of a person this fellow was..
- PC:
- Well, if everything was going smoothly..
- LRH:
- Ah. But what happened when it went rough?.
- PC:
- He’d curse..
- LRH:
- He’d curse? And who would he hit?.
- PC:
- Nobody..
- LRH:
- You?.
- PC:
- No, he had pretty good control. .
- LRH:
- Did he ever hit you?.
- PC:
- Sure, he hit me..
- LRH:
- All right..
- PC:
- Yeah, he hit me..
- LRH:
- Yeah. You can remember now a time he hit you..
- PC:
- I can remember lots of times he hit me..
- LRH:
- Lots of them..
- PC:
- Sure..
- LRH:
- How well do you remember these?.
- PC:
- Very good..
- LRH:
- Pretty good? Where did he hit you? (small pause) Tell me..
- PC:
- Oh, on the face..
- LRH:
- Yah? What would he say?.
- PC:
- Well, one specific incident?.
- LRH:
- All right. One specific incident..
- PC:
- All right. Well, he said, "I’ll teach you to treat your mother this way, " or "to be a bad boy, " or something like that..
- LRH:
- You can remember this, what did he say? "I’ll teach you to" what?.
- PC:
- Now, I wonder if I’m making that up..
- LRH:
- Who used to be afraid of that?.
- PC:
- Nobody was afraid of that. I might have heard somebody else say that..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm? You interest me. Go on, what did the old man used to say about teaching you to be a bad boy? (pause) And where did he hit you? Over here? Hard?.
- PC:
- Yuh..
- LRH:
- Pretty hard? Would you fall when he hit you or would you stand on your feet?.
- PC:
- Well, I’d just go down to sort of protect myself..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm..
- PC:
- I’d just go into a fall..
- LRH:
- And after you went down to protect yourself, what would happen?.
- PC:
- He’d hit me a couple of more times. .
- LRH:
- Hit you while you were down?.
- PC:
- Well, he was in a pretty bad mood. He only did this once, really. No, twice..
- LRH:
- All right. You can remember this..
- PC:
- Yeah. I remember..
- LRH:
- How did you feel about that? What did you want to do to him?.
- PC:
- It’s a funny thing but at the time I didn’t feel too sore, I felt more worried that my mother would be aggravated over it and I went in and calmed her. She had incited him by telling him that I was bad. But afterwards she realized that she had aroused him too much so I said, "That’s all sighed you’ll get over it. Don’t worry about it.".
- LRH:
- "That’s all right. You’ll get over it. Don’t worry about it." Okay. Shut your eyes. Right back down the track, prenatal. "That’s all right. You’ll get over it. Don’t worry about it. That’s all right. You’ll get over it. Don’t worry about it." Repeat it..
- PC:
- Thats all right.".
- LRH:
- Your somatic strips contacting this, now let’s go over it. "That’s all right.".
- PC:
- Thats all right.".
- LRH:
- "Thatb all right.".
- PC:
- That s all right.".
- LRH:
- Continue..
- PC:
- That s all right.".
- LRH:
- Next line. (pause) "That’s all right." Go over it again..
- PC:
- That s all right.".
- LRH:
- Next line. (pause) Next line..
- PC:
- She’ll be all right.".
- LRH:
- All right. Go over it again..
- PC:
- Thats all right. She’ll be all right.".
- LRH:
- Next line. (pause) Next line. (pause) When I count from one to five the next line will flash into your mind. One- two- three- four- five (snaps). What is it?.
- PC:
- I draw a solid blank..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm?.
- PC:
- Just silence. Just absolute silence like in a broadcasting studio..
- LRH:
- Silence..
- PC:
- Yah. .
- LRH:
- Who said so?.
- PC:
- Nobody said so. Nobody said anything..
- LRH:
- Yah? Nobody said anything. Who said "silence"? Whose word is that?.
- PC:
- The thought of mother flashed into my mind..
- LRH:
- A thought of mother’s. What kind of a thought was it?.
- PC:
- It was just that you said, "Who said so?" and the word "mother" flashed into my mind..
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s pick that up. When did your mother want silence?.
- PC:
- (pause) I’m trying to cooperate..
- LRH:
- All right. When did your mother want silence? (pause) You know. When did she want silence? You remember this. Tell me about it. When did she want silence?.
- PC:
- (pause) When did she want silence? When does anybody want silence? When?.
- LRH:
- When what?.
- PC:
- When they’re disturbed, I suppose..
- LRH:
- When they’re disturbed they want silence? You remember your mother asking for silence when you were disturbed?.
- PC:
- When somebody’s sleeping in the house..
- LRH:
- Somebody sleeping in the house. Are you sleeping?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Who used to sleep in the house? Your old man ever work at night?.
- PC:
- No. But he wanted to sleep in the morning..
- LRH:
- How late did he sleep in the morning?.
- PC:
- Oh, sometimes my father told me that..
- LRH:
- About what?.
- PC:
- Making things up..
- LRH:
- When did he punish you for it?.
- PC:
- Never punished me for it..
- LRH:
- Never did?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- "I’ll teach you to make things up." Could that have been it?.
- PC:
- No. .
- LRH:
- "I’ll teach you to be a bad boy"? That it?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- That never was it?.
- PC:
- Not that I can recall. I can’t think of it at the moment. Maybe it was..
- LRH:
- Was it ever said?.
- PC:
- I’ll teach you to be a bad boy"?.
- LRH:
- "I’ll teach you to do that wrong.".
- PC:
- I’ll teach you to do that wrong. " Nope, I don’t think he said that. My mother might have said that..
- LRH:
- Your mother might have said that—" I’ll teach you to do that wrong"?.
- PC:
- Or, "I’ll teach you to be naughty, " or "I’ll teach you"— yes, she might have used that expression..
- LRH:
- "I’ll teach you to be naughty"? How about your grandmother? Do you like your grandmother?.
- PC:
- Yeah..
- LRH:
- Yeah?.
- PC:
- I guess so. As well as a person likes her..
- LRH:
- All right. Who invalidated your sense of reality? You know. You not only know the persons, you know the incident. (pause) Now tell me. (pause) Who invalidated you?.
- PC:
- In other words, "You don’t know what you’re talking about" idea?.
- LRH:
- Yes. That’s right. (pause) Count five to one, the direct memory circuits by command, one- two- three- four- five (snaps Five- four- three- two- one (snap!)..
- PC:
- Maybe some kid said, "You don’t know what you’re talking about. " Kids usually do it..
- LRH:
- Yeah? Kids usually do it. It’s a bad incident, isn’t it?.
- PC:
- (pause) Well, I get the memory now of playing, when I used to live in New York, playing with a bunch of kids. I was a small fry at the time..
- LRH:
- Yah. What did they used to tell you?.
- PC:
- You didn’t know what you were talking about..
- LRH:
- Who said, "Making things up"?.
- PC:
- They didn’t say, "Making things up.".
- LRH:
- Which one of your family would say, "Making things up"? .
- PC:
- Sometimes my father would tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. But that’s all the time, not in any incident..
- LRH:
- That’s all of the time?.
- PC:
- Well, any time that he was skeptical over something I’d say..
- LRH:
- Oh, you mean your father’s skeptical?.
- PC:
- That’s right..
- LRH:
- And how have you felt about these incidents?.
- PC:
- Skeptical..
- LRH:
- What a remarkable coincidence. You know, he couldn’t possibly be in your engram bank, could he?.
- PC:
- He might..
- LRH:
- With what words would he be in there?.
- PC:
- (pause) Well, I don’t contact anything..
- LRH:
- Aha. But you know. You can remember. Go over and sit down. And later you can come by and tell me the exact knock- down- drag- out, blood- in- the- gutter incident that fixed up your sense of reality. Okay?.
- PC:
- That’s fine..
- LRH:
- Okay..
The auditor who takes on the above case will have to pay attention to the fact that here is a family that talks backwards. "This is a fine family I’ve got. I’ll teach you to be a naughty boy." Of course it sits literally in the bank as, "I’ll teach you to be a naughty boy." This backwards sarcastic method of talking makes some of the most remarkable engrams. "All right, I’m wrong, I’m always wrong. So I’m wrong. Now are you satisfied that I am wrong?" (I pulled that one up out of a bank recently.).
Differences in language also affect cases differently. For instance, in Ylddish an AAl is a phrase which says, "Got to take a cleaning," or, "Got to be cleaned out." There are strange colloquialisms, idioms, cliches from language to language. In French the word for pain is man meaning "an evil"—" I have an evil in my head"— and this word evil goes straight across the language, which would install demons and devils in a person and so forth..
Working a bilingual case is not difficult. All you have got to do is to take the patient down into the area and ask for flash phrases. If that language is in there engramically, you will get phrases off it. I had a person who hadn’t heard Ylddish since about two and a half years of age and suddenly he was practically talking Ylddish after about ten hours of therapy..
It is quite ordinary to start running off an engram which is lying on top of the boil- off2 area, then boil off, and then run another engram under it. Or run five or six engrams off the top of the boil- off and then boil off another one. Don’t expect this material to be filed well..
Here is a demonstration of working a case whose auditor is having trouble locating incidents to run..
- LRH:
- All right. You say you’re perfectly happy? .
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Why does your husband want to work on you?.
- PC:
- I don’t know. We’re doing it mainly because he needs work..
- LRH:
- You ever restimulated?.
- PC:
- Not so far, we’ve done about 15 hours..
- LRH:
- How are your recalls?.
- PC:
- Well, I don’t know. I mean, my recall on the whole is pretty good..
- LRH:
- Pretty good?.
- PC:
- I mean in normal life, my recall is pretty good..
- LRH:
- You get somatics?.
- PC:
- No, I don’t have any recurring somatics to speak of..
- LRH:
- Yeah, but in therapy do you ever get a somatic?.
- PC:
- No, I haven’t felt one. I’d say we only worked about 15 hours..
- LRH:
- How old are you? (snap!).
- PC:
- 32..
- LRH:
- You’re set with that?.
- PC:
- No, but I’m 32. (laughs).
- LRH:
- All right. Now give me a number (snap!)..
- PC:
- 7..
- LRH:
- And give me a yes or no to any one of the following words I say to you. Yes or no, a flash reply, the first thing that comes into your mind now. Hospital (snap!)..
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Doctor (snaps)..
- PC:
- Yes, I mean I’m saying that on the basis . . ..
- LRH:
- Mother..
- PC:
- of I’ve had experience with them. (laugh).
- LRH:
- Mother (snap!)..
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Doyou how what I’m asking for? Are you getting those on a flash reply basis? .
- PC:
- Well, as I say, when you ask the question, what comes into my mind is "Yes, I’ve had experience with them, " meaning I’ve been there or I’ve contacted them, you know..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh. What severe illness did you have when you were a child?.
- PC:
- Well, the most severe illness in actual effect was polio, but we didn’t know it was polio until some time afterwards, in case that has any influence..
- LRH:
- When was this?.
- PC:
- When I was 12..
- LRH:
- When did you have measles?.
- PC:
- 8..
- LRH:
- When you were 8. Did you have a hard time with it?.
- PC:
- I think so..
- LRH:
- How did your mother look when she walked into the room and found out you had measles?.
- PC:
- Well, I’m not sure because I got measles in between mumps and whooping cough. How she looked with the measles, I’m not sure. (laughs).
- LRH:
- Did they keep the room nice and bright when you had measles?.
- PC:
- No, as I recall it was dark. I was sicker with measles than with the others, and I don’t have as good a recall on that as I have on the mumps..
- LRH:
- You have good recall on the mumps?.
- PC:
- Fair, comparatively..
- LRH:
- Where did you live when you were a little tiny kid, 2 years of age?.
- PC:
- On Chestnut Street..
- LRH:
- How long did you live there?.
- PC:
- Until I was 4..
- LRH:
- Until you were 4? What did the house look like?.
- PC:
- It was a gray house, as I recall. I can’t picture it too well. I can picture the other house much better of course..
- LRH:
- This one you lived in but you can’t get a picture of it?.
- PC:
- This one I lived in until I was 12. I can see the way the stairway went up and the wall telephone..
- LRH:
- When did you fall off a tricycle?.
- PC:
- That was later, I didn’t have a tricycle till we moved to the other place. (laughs).
- LRH:
- When did you get a bicycle? .
- PC:
- I never had one..
- LRH:
- Never had one..
- PC:
- No bicycle..
- LRH:
- When did you fall off the rollycoaster wagon?.
- PC:
- Never been on a roller coaster either. (laughs).
- LRH:
- Ever have a sled accident?.
- PC:
- Nothing serious enough to make an impression..
- LRH:
- Doyou remember falling off a sled?.
- PC:
- Sure. I’ve fallen off them a lot of times..
- LRH:
- Yeah? Shut your eyes. Let’s go back to the first time you ever fell off a sled. There’s nothing very special about this, let’s just return to falling off a sled. What are you sliding down? Let’s take a look at it now..
- PC:
- Well, I haven’t picked up any particular incident yet, but it must have been down Batey Hill playground because that’s where we always go..
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s take a slide down Batey Hill anyhow, whether we fall off or not. Let’s just take a slide down there..
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- You have a slide? How are you doing?.
- PC:
- Going down all right..
- LRH:
- Going down all right? Hot day, cold day, what?.
- PC:
- It was a cold day, snow..
- LRH:
- Look good?.
- PC:
- Looks good, feels good..
- LRH:
- How’s the smell?.
- PC:
- Oh, sort of crisp, you know..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. YQU like it?.
- PC:
- Hm- hm..
- LRH:
- Good..
- PC:
- And I can hear the snow under the runners, you know..
- LRH:
- Right. Come up to present time..
- PC:
- But surely, I ought to have something, oughtn’t I? (laughs) .
- LRH:
- How about birth? Has your auditor taken you back in towards birth?.
- PC:
- No, we haven’t hit birth yet..
- LRH:
- Have you hit basic- basic?.
- PC:
- No. Not identifiably anyhow.
We haven’t hit a single thing that acts or looks like an engram. I can’t get somatics, although I have pretty near perfect recall on many things..
- LRH:
- Do you want to find an engram?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- You probably haven’t got more than fifty or a hundred engrams in the bank at the outside. Fine. Shut your eyes. Let’s go back to conception. Your own. Let’s return back to conception. All the way back. Contact the first part of it. Now tell me what you’re contacting. The somatic strip’s right there, let’s roll it..
- PC:
- I don’t see anything but blackness..
- LRH:
- You see blackness?.
- PC:
- Yes. I have my eyes shut. Maybe that has something to do with it..
- LRH:
- All right. Now, what are you doing there? (pause) How does it feel?.
- PC:
- Feels all right so far..
- LRH:
- Did you get a muscular reaction?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s repeat the words "I can’t tell this early.".
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Somatic strip will go to that..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- What are you contacting? Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early." .
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- What are you contacting?.
- PC:
- I don’t seem to pick up anything..
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s go over it again..
- PC:
- "I can’t tell this early.".
- LRH:
- All right. Now the somatic strip will go to the engram necessary to make the engrams in your case obtainable. The somatic strip will go straight to the one necessary to find in order to make it obtainable. Now when I count from five to one a phrase is going to flash into your mind. Five- four- three- two- one (snaps)..
- PC:
- (pause) "I "I don’t know.".
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s go over that phrase..
- PC:
- "I don’t know.".
- LRH:
- Go over the phrase again..
- PC:
- "I don’t know.".
- LRH:
- Who might ever have said "I don’t know" around you?.
- PC:
- Well, both my parents have said it a number of times about a number of different things..
[gap in recording].
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s contact the first contraction in birth. (pause) First contraction. (pause) Now let’s contact the second..
- PC:
- I got a little twitch in a leg muscle here, if that’s worth anything..
- LRH:
- All right. Third contraction. Fourth contraction. Fifth contraction. Sixth. Seventh. Eighth. Ninth contraction. Tenth contraction. Eleventh. Twelfth. Thirteenth. Let’s start down the birth canal. Down the birth canal. You’re halfway down the birth canal. Come on, what are you getting?.
- PC:
- Just a sensation of some slight pressure in my wrists..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh..
- PC:
- Slight pressure here. .
- LRH:
- Uh- huh. Let’s continue on down the birth canal. (pause) All Aght. Let’s continue to the moment your head’s out. (pause) One shoulder’s out. (pause) The other shoulder’s out. (pause) All out. (pause) The cord’s cut. (pause) Drops in the eyes. (pause) Okay, now up to the point where you go to sleep. (pause) Up to the point where you get your first bottle..
- PC:
- I was nursed..
- LRH:
- All right. First nursing. Let’s contact it right there, the first nursing. (pause) How do you feel? Let’s feel the arms around you..
- PC:
- I can imagine that I do..
- LRH:
- Okay. Go ahead and imagine it. Feel the arms around you. (pause) All right. How do things look to you?.
- PC:
- Can’t see much of anything..
- LRH:
- Can you see anything?.
- PC:
- (pause) I hare the sensation of light. I don’t really see anything..
- LRH:
- Okay. Now let’s come up to the time you’re ten days old. (pause) Now lets contact the scenery. (pause) Eight o’clock in the moming. Ten days old. (pause) What do things look like to you?.
- PC:
- Well, I don’t know. I can imagine a hospital nursery, but I don’t think it’s genuine because I don’t see it from the aspect that you’d see it if you were a baby..
- LRH:
- All right..
- PC:
- (laughs) I think it must be some other..
- LRH:
- Let’s see it from the aspect you would see it if you were a baby. Let’s just imagine that. Where would you be lying?.
- PC:
- Well, there would be a ceiling and a light, that would be about all that would be visible..
- LRH:
- Aha. Who said so?.
- PC:
- Well, that’s just my own idea, as nearly as I can tell from what I know..
- LRH:
- It’s your own idea? All right. Let’s come on up to the time you’re crawling around on the floor. (pause) Crawling around on the floor. Let’s do a good crawl around on the floor. (pause) Having a good time crawling on the floor. (pause) What do things look like?.
- PC:
- They look big..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. IEke a look at them. (pause) Now let’s contact the moment when somebody comes toward you to pick you up. (pause) Somebody comes toward you to pick you up. Let’s get picked up. How big’s the person?.
- PC:
- Quite big, there. .
- LRH:
- All right. Now let’s go a little bit earlier to a point where you have a bad bubble on the tummy. (pause) Bubble on the tummy, now. (pause) All right. Pick up the moment somebody throws you over the shoulder. Who is it?.
- PC:
- I keep picturing my father..
- LRH:
- All right. Where is he?.
- PC:
- He’s standing up..
- LRH:
- And what’s he doing?.
- PC:
- Puts me over his shoulder. (laughs).
- LRH:
- How do you feel? Do you see him put you over his shoulder or do you see his shoulder?.
- PC:
- (pause) I think I see the floor..
- LRH:
- You see the floor?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Okay. Where’s he patting you? (pause) Is he patting you?.
- PC:
- I don’t think s0..
- LRH:
- All right. How does he get rid of the bubble?.
- PC:
- Well, he leans me over his shoulder.....
- LRH:
- Yah, and what does he do?.
- PC:
- Presses..
- LRH:
- And what do you do?.
- PC:
- Well, I should burp, whether I do or not I’m not sure. (laughing).
- LRH:
- All right. Lets contact the moment when you do burp. (pause) Precise instant there when you burp. (pause) Contact the moment you burp. Let’s feel the bubble. (pause) Let’s feel the bubble. (pause) Can you feel it coming up?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Letb contact the moment you do burp. How do things look to you at that moment?.
- PC:
- (clears throat) I don’t haue a clear picture.....
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. How do things look to you?.
- PC:
- (pause) Wellj what I seem to picture is the room that was the living room which is a rather dark sort of room..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. Where are you, the moment you’re picturing this?.
- PC:
- Well, I’m near the center of the room. .
- LRH:
- How does the room look? Small? Big? HOW?.
- PC:
- It’s rather small..
- LRH:
- Does it look small to you? (pause) All right. What would your father say to you while he’s burping you? "Get it up"? (pause) Give me a flash reply. What would be his words? (snap!).
- PC:
- Let s get rid of it.".
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s go over that..
- PC:
- Must get rid of it.".
- LRH:
- Anything about getting it up?.
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s go over that. "Up it comes.".
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Let’s return to the moment when it does come up..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- "Up it comes.".
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Let’s contact his voice..
- PC:
- UP it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes." .
- LRH:
- Go over it again..
- PC:
- "Up it comes.".
- LRH:
- Where are you?.
- PC:
- Up against his shoulder..
- LRH:
- All right. How does the room look to you now?.
- PC:
- Still somewhat indistinct..
- LRH:
- Indistinct..
- PC:
- I mean I can’t figure out the sharp details as to where everything is, and so forth..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh, because where are you?.
- PC:
- Ouer his shoulder. (laugh).
- LRH:
- All right. Now let’s come on up to the time when you’re having an awful good time, just a terrifically good time. What are you doing?.
- PC:
- I’m hiking. I’m up on top of a mountain..
- LRH:
- Okay. How does it feel to be up on top of the mountain?.
- PC:
- Wonderful..
- LRH:
- Good. Let’s take a look at the countryside..
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- How does it look to you?.
- PC:
- It’s far down below, you can see the foothills and the valley down below..
- LRH:
- Good and clear?.
- PC:
- Very clear..
- LRH:
- Nice and clear?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- How does it smell? (pause) How does it smell? Let’s take a look at it. How does it smell?.
- PC:
- It’s fall. The leases are turned.....
- LRH:
- Let’s feel the air..
- PC:
- It smells very good..
- LRH:
- All right..
- PC:
- Fresh and a little bit smoky. .
- LRH:
- Let’s take a sniff of it..
- PC:
- Smoky..
- LRH:
- Smoky..
- PC:
- There’s probably a forest fire over on the next range..
- LRH:
- Okay. Now, let’s feel your feet under you as you stand there. Are you sitting or standing?.
- PC:
- Standing..
- LRH:
- Do you feel your feet under you as you’re standing there? Let’s feel your feet standing there..
- PC:
- Hm- hm..
- LRH:
- All right. How do your boots feel? Are you wearing boots?.
- PC:
- No, I was wearing shoes..
- LRH:
- All right. Let’s feel the shoes..
- PC:
- Hm- hm..
- LRH:
- Feel the shoes. Is the ground even or uneven under your feet?.
- PC:
- Fairly uneven. Some bare spots and some grassy..
- LRH:
- Feel happy looking at that?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Countryside. Top of the world..
- PC:
- Right..
- LRH:
- All right. Come up to present time..
- PC:
- I’m up..
- LRH:
- Five- four- three- two- one (snap!)..
Using the above technique one can send the somatic strip through almost any incident in a person’s whole life. They will go through some sort of a sensation of it. They may tell you, "Oh, no, I don’t feel anything," and yet you can run a time clock on an operation without the patient knowing anything about the operation..
The above case is open. There is a computation back down in the bank and there are bouncers. l For instance, she bounced on her papa’s phrase about getting it up..
You have got to use your head about working Dianetics. The trouble with this case is it works too well..
Let’s look over another case that is worrying his auditor..
- LRH:
- What’s been worrying you lately? .
- PC:
- Nothing comes to mind right away..
- LRH:
- Nothing comes to mind?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Who had bad eyes in your family?.
- PC:
- Neither one. My father wore glasses, not very strong. That was all..
- LRH:
- And your mother?.
- PC:
- No, she didn’t wear glasses..
- LRH:
- How about your grandparents?.
- PC:
- Don’t remember them..
- LRH:
- When did they die?.
- PC:
- My father’s father was the only one I knew..
- LRH:
- And when did he die?.
- PC:
- He died when I was about 2..
- LRH:
- Did he wear glasses?.
- PC:
- Yes, he did..
- LRH:
- Thick ones?.
- PC:
- No, not particularly..
- LRH:
- He did wear glasses..
- PC:
- He did wearglasses..
- LRH:
- What were his mannerisms?.
- PC:
- I hare no distinct memory of him, I’ue been told he was very soft- spoken..
- LRH:
- What did he do for a living?.
- PC:
- He was an actor..
- LRH:
- What do you do for a living?.
- PC:
- Studying to be a teacher, I’m studying mathematics..
- LRH:
- Was he a nice guy?.
- PC:
- I think so..
- LRH:
- Did he like you?.
- PC:
- That I couldn’t tell you. .
- LRH:
- Do you like your parents?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Both of them?.
- PC:
- Yes. (pause) I don’t get along well at home..
- LRH:
- Why not? When you’re there you don’t get along with them?.
- PC:
- No, I don’t get along, as far as I’m concerned..
- LRH:
- But you like them..
- PC:
- Not Very well. Not as people..
- LRH:
- All right. What did they do to you?.
- PC:
- Don’t know. I’ve been told that I was very difficult as a young child..
- LRH:
- You were a problem?.
- PC:
- I was a problem..
- LRH:
- What were the words that were said to you?.
- PC:
- I don’t have any memory of it at all..
- LRH:
- Is that why you were a problem?.
- PC:
- No, I was supposed to be always getting into things I shouldn’t..
- LRH:
- Getting into things you shouldn’t. Do you mean your auditory having trouble with you? (pause) Your auditor ought to be ashamed. (He’s always getting into trouble getting into things. He’s difficult.) Now who told you you were difficult?.
- PC:
- I guess my mother, not the nurse..
- LRH:
- Yah? How about the nurse?.
- PC:
- Don’t recall the nurse..
- LRH:
- Who really thought you were difficult?.
- PC:
- I think my mother does..
- LRH:
- Did she ever knock you around any on the subject?.
- PC:
- She’s spoken to me about it..
- LRH:
- She’s spoken to you..
- PC:
- Euen recently..
- LRH:
- Even recently? What did she say recently?.
- PC:
- She runs me down. .
- LRH:
- Who used to run her down?.
- PC:
- I don’t know. My father might have, but I don’t ever remember it..
- LRH:
- Did she ever talk about anybody ever running anybody down?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Who’s phrase is that? "Running down people." (pause) Is that a bad thing to do, to run down people?.
- PC:
- I never like to see it done. I don’t do it myself..
- LRH:
- Let’s go on back down the time track..
- PC:
- My older brother comes to mind..
- LRH:
- Yah? What did he do?.
- PC:
- He ran people down. The time comes to mind that he was frightened in a storm and they tell me he pointed to where I was sleeping and said, "There, he’s too dumb to be afraid.".
- LRH:
- That come to you?.
- PC:
- The story has been told to me..
- LRH:
- Do you remember this?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Are you supposed to believe what you’re told?.
- PC:
- I’ve probably been told that..
- LRH:
- Yeah? Who told you that?.
- PC:
- I suppose that would be my mother..
- LRH:
- But that would be very easy to remember if you believe what you’re told..
- PC:
- The things I can remember are the things I have been told..
- LRH:
- Aha. Now who told you this? To believe what you were told..
- PC:
- I would say that was my mom..
- LRH:
- Your mother? Remember her telling you?.
- PC:
- No. I think she would say, "Do what you’re told.".
- LRH:
- How about "Believe what you’re told"? Could it be somebody else that said, "Believe what you’re told"?.
- PC:
- Could hare been the nurse too. .
- LRH:
- What might the nurse have said? What kind of a voice would she have used when she was saying this?.
- PC:
- She would be angry. But it wouldn’t be the nurse, I don’t know who the nurse was..
- LRH:
- This voice would be angry that told you? Would it be your mother’s voice?.
- PC:
- It could be..
- LRH:
- Let’s just imitate it..
- PC:
- Uh.....
- LRH:
- Just imitate it. You can imitate your mother’s voice..
- PC:
- "You believe what you’re told.".
- LRH:
- Aw, she said it tougher than that..
- PC:
- Yah, she had a definite tone in her voice..
- LRH:
- What’s the tone?.
- PC:
- You can tell when she as angry by her tone..
- LRH:
- Did your father leave her?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- He stayed with her?.
- PC:
- Oh, yes..
- LRH:
- Is he happy with her?.
- PC:
- Well, my father died ..
- LRH:
- Oh. When did your father die?.
- PC:
- He died in 1942..
- LRH:
- Did you care when he died?.
- PC:
- I did, yes..
- LRH:
- How have you felt since?.
- PC:
- Sometimes I regret not having known him better..
- LRH:
- Okay. Who used to tell you that you should believe what you’re told? (pause) You can remember..
- PC:
- I still think it was my mom but I don’t remember the incident..
- LRH:
- Now you do remember the incident. Did she ever say, "You never remember anything"?.
- PC:
- As long as I can remember I’ue always had a poor memory. .
- LRH:
- Yah. But who said that as long as you can remember you always had a poor memory!.
- PC:
- Yes, my mom did..
- LRH:
- Oh. Now do you ever recall your mother telling somebody else that another person had a poor memory?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Do you remember your brother commenting on somebody having a poor memory?.
- PC:
- No. I remember that I used to get in arguments with my younger brother..
- LRH:
- About what?.
- PC:
- Oh, perhaps it would be about errands we were supposed to run, sometimes we had responsibility for doing things..
- LRH:
- And?.
- PC:
- And I’d argue with him..
- LRH:
- Yah..
- PC:
- He always seemed to remember better than I did..
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. Who went through a period of not having a good memory?.
- PC:
- I did..
- LRH:
- When?.
- PC:
- Well, I haven’t had a good memory.....
- LRH:
- What would be the first step one would have to take to rehabilitate your case?.
- PC:
- Probably restore my memory for names..
- LRH:
- Restore your memory for names..
- PC:
- That’s what’s giving me trouble..
- LRH:
- Memory for names. Do you know my name?.
- PC:
- Well, I’ue never been introduced, but I gather you’re Mr. Hubbard..
- LRH:
- That’s right. You remember my name then, don’t you?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Remember your partner, your auditor’s name?.
- PC:
- Yes..
- LRH:
- Remember your teacher’s name? The one you liked?.
- PC:
- I can remember some of them. .
- LRH:
- Aw, remember one that you liked real well..
- PC:
- I can remember one that I admired a lot..
- LRH:
- All right. What’s the name?.
- PC:
- E R. Green, Doctor E R. Green..
- LRH:
- Doctor F. R. Green. Did he wear glasses?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Didn’t..
- PC:
- This was in college..
- LRH:
- Oh, that’s in college. How about in grade school? What teacher do you know in grade school who wore glasses?.
- PC:
- The principal, Mrs. Davies..
- LRH:
- Mrs. Davies. What kind of a person was Mrs. Davies?.
- PC:
- Small, with white hair..
- LRH:
- Nice?.
- PC:
- She never seemed pleased by anything, but nice, yes..
- LRH:
- Take care of you?.
- PC:
- No. She spanked me once, I remember..
- LRH:
- What did she say?.
- PC:
- Don’t be impertinent, " I think. It had something to do with something I had said which she didn’t like..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh. When was this, what grade?.
- PC:
- That would be sixth grade..
- LRH:
- Sixth grade. Who’s your kindergarten teacher?.
- PC:
- Mrs. Lewis..
- LRH:
- Mrs. Lewis was your kindergarten teacher. How old were you when you started in kindergarten?.
- PC:
- Oh, I would be 4..
- LRH:
- (Otherwise this gentleman has no memory for names. How many can remember just like that the name of their kindergarten teacher?).
- PC:
- But, I’ue known her since then. .
- LRH:
- Oh, you’ve known her since. All right. What was the name of the doctor that brought you into the world?.
- PC:
- I’ue never been told. I gathered it was a family doctor, which would be Davenport..
- LRH:
- You are operating on permission to remember. Is that right?.
- PC:
- (dejected tone of voice) I guess so..
- LRH:
- Who gives this to you?.
- PC:
- I’d say my mother, she’s told me several times that I couldn’t remember that far back..
- LRH:
- Aaah! A mama with a guilty conscience. Oho, oho! We pin her red- handed. Let’s get interested. All right. What about her? When did she used to tell you you couldn’t remember that far back?.
- PC:
- Well, several times I’ve said I can remember incidents, let’s say, before 4..
- LRH:
- Yeah?.
- PC:
- She wouldn’t believe me..
- LRH:
- What did she say?.
- PC:
- No, we must have told you about that," or "You’re imagining that.".
- LRH:
- Do you remember a particular time?.
- PC:
- Yes, I remember one time that was rather turbulent..
- LRH:
- Aha?.
- PC:
- And I may have imagined it because I can see it in the third person..
- LRH:
- Ah. What did she say?.
- PC:
- And she said exactly that, just, "Oh, you’re making it up, we must have told you....".
- LRH:
- "Making it up.".
- PC:
- You re making it up.
- LRH:
- Do you remember this?.
- PC:
- No, not clearly..
- LRH:
- What did she say? "Making it up"? Go over that. "You’re making it up.".
- PC:
- I’m sure she said, "You were too young to remember that.".
- LRH:
- Go over that again..
- PC:
- You re making it up from something we’ve told you. " Or "You’re imagining it.".
- LRH:
- Uh- huh. Let’s go over that again..
- PC:
- You re imagining it .
- LRH:
- Hm- hm. How did she look when she was saying this to you?.
- PC:
- A little impatient..
- LRH:
- All right. You can remember her saying this to you, can’t you?.
- PC:
- I get a very dim impression of where it took place..
- LRH:
- Aha. What would all this do to your memory?.
- PC:
- I should imagine it would pretty well tie it up..
- LRH:
- Aha. And how do we bust through this cordon?.
- PC:
- By direct memory..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh. You’ve got an assignment between now and next Saturday. Okay?.
- PC:
- Okay..
- LRH:
- All right. You get the earliest time your mother told you you couldn’t remember that young. You can remember it. You’ll find out that in a couple of days your memory will be so thoroughly jogged up about this you will be remembering clear on back. PC: Well, I’ve been remembering lots of things since the sessions started..
- LRH:
- Uh- huh?.
- PC:
- Things hare come back to me..
- LRH:
- Just now? Talking?.
- PC:
- No, after a session a lot of things will come back I hadn’t thought about for a long time..
- LRH:
- Oh, yah? Can you trust your memory?.
- PC:
- No..
- LRH:
- Why not?.
- PC:
- Well, sometimes I’ll go to introduce a person I know fairly well and I can’t think of their name..
- LRH:
- Who used to forget names?.
- PC:
- (pause) Again I would say it was Mother..
- LRH:
- Whose valence are you in?.
- PC:
- Not my own..
- LRH:
- Whose?.
- PC:
- (tentatively) Hers..
- LRH:
- Probably. Okay. Thank you. .
This person’s auditor must track down Mama and deintensify these early incidents and pick up the earliest one he can get, particularly ones where the preclear is slapped around for telling tales at a ladies’ party or something like that when he can remember something he shouldn’t remember, and there is a nice, solid invalidation of memory. There are such incidents there. Mama had a guilty conscience..
You could run it by straight memory, and the preclear’s confidence could very easily be restored to himself..
In breaking a late emotional engram, find the emotional shut- off if you are having difficulty breaking through on it. Get the person in his own valence early on the track some place and get the emotional shut- offs, such as, "Don’t get excited," "Don’t cry," and so forth..
There will be an engram there that says, "I only believe what I say myself." Or "I have to believe what I tell myself," or something of this sort. And that engram will then establish a long series of locks. But that is a highly specialized case. And it’s again an engramic case..
A person is incapable of placing a single word in his own engram bank. A person is incapable, for instance, unless he has a good, solid engramic computation running in the reactive mind, of shutting off his emotions as such, because he wants to release that emotion. That shut- off will be early, probably in the prenatal area, and you should go back and find the shut- off, which the file clerk will generally hand up if you keep asking for the reason why emotion is shut off..
