6608C25 SHSpec-78 The Anti-Social Personality [Reference: HCOB 27Sep66 or Introduction to Scientology Ethics, pp. 9-14 "The Anti-Social Personality"] LRH has made a complete list of the characteristics of a suppressive person. The purpose of ethics is to get technology in. Ethics doesn't intend social betterment. It only intends to ensure case advance by getting suppressives out of the environment. An auditor must know about this, so that he can recognize and handle PTS and suppressive PCs. This ability to recognize and handle can prevent an auditor from having loses and invalidating himself when an SP doesn't make case gain. When PCs rollercoaster, don't blame the past auditor or the HGC. Blame the SP. A PC who is critical of an auditor has a missed withhold from that auditor. The PC who goes on nattering about the thousands of hours of auditing that he has received, with no gain is another matter. You can be too propitiative towards people, whereupon you can't help them anymore. You exert no control and don't give effective help. LRH never owed scientology to anyone. One of the earliest techniques for controlling PCs, taken from early dianetics, was to walk out on a PC who refused to be controlled, with the R-factor that the session would resume when the PC decided to follow the auditor's directions. At that point, LRH hadn't run into failed psychoanalytic cases and people who had been roughed up by psychotherapy. There were a lot of these people in the first Foundation. They were generally PTS or SP's. These cases are much harder to handle with auditing than criminals. The SP on the case may be nowhere near the PTS individual or the trouble that the PTS causes. In early dianetics, a PC who got better and then crashed was said to have been "on a manic". A person who is "manic" and then gets depressed, however, has just run into an SP and has gone PTS. "There is no such thing as a 'manic'.... It's just that psychiatrists hate people in that condition, and so they promptly cave them in.... The guy says, 'Wow! At last I realize that I can be sane,' and 'Isn't the world wonderful?' [The psychiatrist says,] 'Ohmigawd! You're in a manic. We've got to give you eighteen extra shocks, [or pills,] etc.'" The psychiatrist says that euphoria is very bad. this explains away a person's getting better. And this will be used by SP's against you, as an argument against scientology. The only reason for cave-in or roller-coaster is an SP!! Joe Winter's overt was making a deal with the publisher of Book One to write a book to get the M.D.'s into dianetics: A Doctor Looks at Dianetics. He claimed that dianetics was an art, a a "knack" that couldn't be taught. This led to a complete squirrel non-standard tech being spread all over the place, with no results. "I couldn't hold in tech, because I: 1. Didn't have control of it, and 2. Didn't have ethics." Until ethics was gotten in, in organizations, it was impossible to keep tech in and working fully, because there was no way to hold the line and no way to get the suppressives off tech lines. An auditor who doesn't recognize ethics-type cases, i.e. SP's and PTS's, is setting himself up for loses and for eventually quitting auditing. There is such a thing as a case who doesn't have a wall there, only a picture of a wall. The universe for such a person is a very flimsy mockup, consisting of dub-in. You can run contact processes on such a person [CCH's] and he will come back into contact with the wall that you and I see. Occasionally, he will be startled, while doing objective processes, to see the wall getting shaky and disappearing. You may think that you are making him OT, but you aren't, because the wall is still there for you. If he were OT, it wouldn't be. He will realize that his mocked-up wall is not the wall that is there. This individual doesn't have to be an SP, to have mockups in place of walls. For the SP, people -- every one of us -- are mockups, too. We aren't there. God knows what is there, in the Place where we are standing. A paranoid is a mild version of this. An SP is not a paranoid. A paranoid just thinks people are against him. An SP is a person who is "surrounded by identities which others don't see." The paranoid may see purely imaginary people, who aren't there at all. The SP "creates" his enemies out of the real "whole cloth" of you and me. He doesn't see his enemies unless another real person is there to be turned into a pink alligator, a crazed Indian, or the priests of the Spanish Inquisition. What is really there in the SP's universe is something else, other than people, something very threatening and dangerous. Yet, mostly, this person looks totally sane. He doesn't hallucinate. [He is just delusional.] He is stuck on the track: really stuck. He has never moved beyond the stuck point on the track. An SP doesn't make case gain, because a person needs to have at least a concept of motion on the time track to get from one end of an engram to the other. The SP can't run an engram, because he is stuck in a past moment in time and can't move through through the successive moments of the engram. You or I might have had an incident there for a long time without noticing it. But the SP has had the world there for a long time and hasn't noticed it! The anti-social personality has been looked at before, but it has never been fully described in earlier therapies. We call such a person a suppressive, because that is a more explicit and accurate term. These are the qualities of the suppressive: 1. We speaks only in generalities. He is always talking about "they" and "everybody". This effects PTS's, so they echo it. But somebody told the PTS. Newspapers speak of "850 Dead on Holiday", but they neglect to state that 85 million people were on holiday. That makes it all look sort of dangerous. Governments, likewise, govern "the people" or "the masses", not the individuals who are actually there. This is where the sweeping generality comes in. 2. He deals in bad news continually and exclusively. He is critically hostile. He never relays good news, but may twist good news to bad. Bad news will be relayed and worsened. A very SP person is so batty, that when he moves up in the world, he makes this the norm. 3. He alters any communication. He never duplicates. (Cf. the game of "Telephone".) 4. He doesn't respond to treatment, reform, or psychotherapy. The really bad SP won't come anywhere near an auditing chair. "The one thing this fellow can not do is confront his own mind." The SP feels that he would go totally insane if he had to take one tiny little look at his mind. That is why the SP goes mad at the idea of getting people to look at their own minds. An SP is afraid that if he deals with the mind even slightly, those spooks will move slightly. SP's cannot be reasoned with on the subject of the mind. Your crime is that you have almost made them confront something that they don't dare confront. And you have almost exposed them, because they are not under good control, and if they love control, they will be put away. 5. He is surrounded by others in one or another state of ruin and cave-in (PTS's). Around such a person we find associates who are cowed, ill, failing, or not succeeding, if not actually driven insane. When you try to treat these associates, they don't keep their gains. 6. He habitually selects the wrong target. This is not conscious. It is not just getting mad at the boss because somebody is mad at you. It is very reactive, in the SP. For instance psychiatrists wreck people and SP's in governments attack us. There is a complete dissociation. It is "Bill failed at college, so therefore we should go on a diet," not "Bill failed at college. Therefore we shouldn't send his brother, Pete." Because the SP attacks the wrong target, he doesn't succeed very will on a job. This is a saving grace. 7. He doesn't complete cycles of action. If he finds out that he has completed one, he has to redo it. He mustn't arrive, and he doesn't arrive, because his time sense is loused up. He doesn't have the idea of consecutive events. 8. He will often confess to alarming crimes, with no sense of guilt or personal responsibility whatsoever. He doesn't know that there is a difference between good and bad behavior. 9. He supports and approves of only destructive, downstat, and criminal groups and attacks constructive ones. 10. He approves of destructive actions and disapproves of good actions. He says, "It is probably a good thing that we had the war, because ... " 11. Helping others is an activity that drives him nearly berserk. However, activities that destroy in the name of help are closely supported. The idea is to get rid everybody or to make them all miserable. 12. He has a bad sense of property. He thinks that the idea that people own things is a pretense, made up to fool people. Nothing is ever really owned, to the SP. "Delusions of grandeur" and desires to dominate have nothing to do with suppressiveness. The concept of one's own importance does not have any bearing, here. An SP may or may not have the feeling of being very important, as may a non-SP. There is nothing wrong with dominance. This is not the same as suppression. It is what a person does with dominance that counts. An auditor's skill depends on his recognition of the situation in which he finds himself auditing. When you manage to isolate a series of characteristics that give you a certain expectancy, knowledge of this data becomes valuable. If you can see several characteristics on an SP in a person, you can predict the rest and unload. This is an ethics case. An auditor should know that there could be more than one SP on the case. He should locate the other SP(s), if the first S and D doesn't get permanent results, even though it was well done. You could do a successful S and D and, at a much later date, the PC could find another SP and roller-coaster from that.
