The Helatrobus
Implants
21 May 1963
By L. Ron Hubbard
Thank you. People of Earth, we come in peace. We bring a
plowshare, not a sword.
But we won't use any clouds to spread the message. Oh, I see
you characters haven't been really up to
the front of the track yet. All those Helatrobus Implants of
course came out of clouds originally, you know.
And this is the 21st of Mayo, AD 13, Galactic ye -- well
that's beside the point.
You don't look to me like you've been making the progress
you ought to; you just don't look to me like
you've been making the progress. But possibly if you'd taken a
retread in the Keokuk Central Office, maybe
you would have made better progress.
An interesting problem has presented itself, and so forth;
Every once in a while an industrious D of T
will treat an HPA like somebody in a co-audit, you know, and give
them all the latest tapes and materials and
just overwhelm them but good, you see, and never teach them how to
audit. And would you like to be
handling the material you are handling without knowing how to
audit? Be rough, wouldn't it? Well, the
degree that we don't make good auditors and the degree that we
can't give Saint Hill training to as many as
possible, we are actually holding back Scientology.
You're in just a little bit of a breathing space right at
the present instant. This is just a little bit of a
breathing space.
I was playing tag with the atomic war and the enthusiasm
with which certain misguided degraders wish
to launch off the bomb and all of this sort of thing, actually
stood across our track rather hard and it caused
a tremendous acceleration in research which ordinarily would have
been plotted out across a much longer
space of time and gives us something of an emergency
characteristic on this, because we've still got to beat
this line. We've still got to beat this, and these characters
don't know what they're doing. I can imagine them
now, you know, saying -- saying, "Well, to be happy or not to be
happy. You know, I -- I don't know."
I can see Kennedy walking around now. "Well, is it really
the beginning of heaven or the end of
heaven?" You see, and so on. He's going over and see the Pope. And
there's the Pope sitting there, and so
forth, and he's got an electronic that is cutting his guts out,
you know, and he's saying, "Bless you, my uhh
-- son, bless you, my son." You know? A wild game going on and
these are the characters who are telling
you whether or not you can launch a bomb or not launch a bomb. You
see?
So there's no good sense involved in any of this and it's
sort of in the cards and we're winning, we're
winning hands down. Now, our technological advance at this
particular time is sweeping on much faster
than I can give you all of the fine bits of, so that I can give
you the technology and the way you arrive at the
technology.
And this is the best that I can do. Now we've long talked
about Clears and so forth, and that's fine. There
is nothing wrong with that, and there are Clears and so forth. And
we can make Clears by our own definition
and as far as the public is concerned, why, this is a very
interesting advance. And as Peter once told me, he
says, "Man,". he says, "but I need this" he says, "to interest
people out in the public. Don't go knocking
out this grade of Clear." See?
Well, he's perfectly right, see, perfectly right. But in
actual fact the state of Clear is not only attainable
but is being attained today here and there without any -- hardly
any remark at all.
Now, for instance, in the last eight and a half hours of
auditing I've found three goals and run three
banks on a pc. Three complete GPMs. Well, this is a -- this is
rather a dizzy rate of speed. Don't you see? All
right. Now, you haven't got any time to celebrate. That's what's
wrong with that. You're achieving these
things and there's no chance to -- to state to the pc, "Now you
have to break out the champagne," you see,
because it usually happens in the middle of session; by the middle
of the next session, or the end of the
session, he's already gone beyond it. You're achieving these
various points.
Now, if you're achieving this now, you might be quite
interested in the fact that states of beingness
undreamed of before exist immediately before you. They're in your
very immediate future. Before Christmas,
probably, if you keep your nose to the grindstone and keep your
case going. You're -- you're right there.
Now, the technological win is tremendous and there are only
about five percent of the cases you're
going to run into that are going to give you a bit of a thetan
ache because they don't have what I choose to
call now, because it was the nation or small government that did
these things -- Helatrobus -- not to be
confused with Helatrobe. Helatrobe is the Galactic Confederation.
It's Helatrobus. Call these things the
Helatrobus Implants for lack of a better designation because 43
trillion isn't accurate for all cases, don't you
see, and that sort of thing. You can't give it by a time date and
there is no reason to keep calling it by a time
date. Let's call it by something that was less well known, but
that we can identify. Call them the Helatrobus
Implants and it tells you these are the implants which begin with
the electronic clouds over planets and --
and the dichotomy, plus and minus, and so forth, and sweep on
through in a certain series. And people
have been through them once, twice, three, four times and they
have -- we have the patterns of the first
series very accurately. We'll shortly have the patterns of the
second series.
All that makes very easy auditing. We even have a technique
that handles this now: 3N, which has just
been released and that's the same patter that you've been using,
speeded up a bit. And there's even a
shortened version of that which you will need very soon.
You need this -- you'll go right on needing this from here
on out with a pc. You'll need what's called 3N,
but 3N has to be shortened after a pc has gone for three or four
banks because the pc's running too fast.
And for instance, I've gotten a pc up to a point of the RI blows
on statement. This pc has been very
carefully textbook audited and is now blowing on statement.
There's no -- you call it back and it doesn't
even flick, so you have to say, "That rocket read." See, "It --
that rocket read." But why? Because, well, it
rocket read when they said it, but you haven't even got a tail on
the rocket read a lot of the time.'-You've got
the accelerated start. But instead of a tail on it, you've got a
blowdown. See, the thing doesn't have a chance
to do a complete rocket read; it disintegrates.
It does an accelerated beginning; goes like mad, the tone
arm moves down, pc says, "Fine." You read the
thing back and it's quiet as a mouse. You can't get a tick out of
this thing. You haven't even opposed it yet
and you can't even get a tick out of it.
All right. Well that, of course -- after a while when a pc's
doing this, it's a waste of time to read the RI
back to him, so you get 3N-2 which is an abbreviated form of 3N,
just like 3N is an abbreviated form of 3M-2,
don't you see? But you won't be using 3M-2 on these implants
because the other is too easy.
Now, what can you cut out? Well, I just leave it up to you.
What can you cut out? Because your job --
let me tell you this very straight from the shoulder -- your job
is to make sure that the charge is blown out of
that RI and that is your job as an auditor.
And let me -- let me put a bug in your ear right now, don't
you let any pc talk you out, with ARC breaks
or anything else, out of getting that charge off. You understand?
Because the pc will natter, the pc will yap,
the pc will this and will that about your reading it a second
time, how you're cross-checking or doing
anything like that. Because you can do these things without losing
too much speed, but the pc starts
suppressing his cognitions in order to make speed, you see.
Suppressing this, suppressing that and all of a
sudden you've got a little fluky RR that goes flick-pow, and you
see it stop. It's -- it's a choked down. Pc's
suppressing almost as fast as he's giving it to you. And you say
the pc is very nattery and the pc is this
way and that way, and therefore you mustn't go in and clean that
up. Well, you've been defeated as an
auditor the moment you make that conclusion. You got it? Let the
pc yap because your payoff -- your
payoff comes in the next two or three GPMs and if you've done that
well in the first that you're running, then
your blows through the second are easier, the third, the fourth
GPM, and you're just flying by enunciation
and recognition. You understand?
And you'll be running maybe a GPM every forty-five minutes
of auditing time. You got that now?
Now, all you have to do is get a "Nelson eye" on the E-Meter
-- a Britishism. He put the telescope to hiis
blind eye. They told him to withdraw, you see, and he said he
didn't see anything. There is where your
danger lies because this thing chokes; you didn't get a nice RR.
You say, "Well, I'll let it go, because the pc
is running so well and this pc gets so nattery and ARC breaky
every time I stop him," and reason, reason,
reason, reason, reason.
Now you're -- just made tremendous quantities of work for
yourself. Every time you strike that item again
in the next bank you're going to find out that you didn't clear
the charge of it in this bank. Not only are the
next few RIs going to be impeded but that item in the next bank
comparably is going to be badly impeded
and you are going to stack the case up. You hear me?
Now ARC breaks won't stack the case up, but unblown RIs
will. And it's your job as an auditor to get
that charge off. And that's your job, and don't let any pc talk
you out of it. See, you've got two choices on
running these days. You've got two choices that you can make, and
one of them is wrong. And that is have
the pc alwaye happy and cheerful and the other is have the charge
gone. And you just forget about that
first choice. Because how anybody could run the Helatrobus
Implants and be happy and cheerful, I don't
know.
Oddly enough, after a while they will be happy and cheerful
but only if you get the charge off early on,
so nag them all you want to.
Now, you can nag them to a point where the charge won't
blow. See where your judgment lies? You can
get them so upset and so enturbulated and so jumped up that the
charge won't blow. You've gone the
wrong direction, don't you see? But then that was a necessary
thing. You're making mistakes then in order
to do this.
You get yourself a good clean RR that's disintegrating at
the end and it's blowing. It's obviously going.
This RR is going to be gone and you read it back and you read it
back and then you say, "Well, it didn't RR
again."
And you read it back. And you say, "Are you doing anything?
Are you thinking about anything? It
didn't read. I'll read it again, 'Wantably fantastic.' It didn't
read that time. What's the matter?"
And next thing you know the pc is saying, "What's hap -- ?
Whaaa -- whi -- where am I going?" you see.
Well, you made a mistake.
The place to really get skilled is to recognize the quality
of RRs. Now some HPA thinks, "Well, I'm doing
pretty good; I've learned what an RR is." You take off from there.
You get pretty good and learn what a
choked RR is and what a disintegrating RR is, and then you'll be
in business.
You get some RRs; you could actually see the pc suppress
them as they happen. For a moment there
you can see that RR stop. And you can say to the pc, "What
happened?"
Pc says, "Well, it wasn't much, I -- well, I just had a
little cognition." For interest of speed of run, they
start suppressing their cognitions. Almost fatal. Don't you see?
And you say, "That's fine. Thank you," call
the item again and by golly there'll be the full RR. See? You have
to learn to interpret an RR. There is nothing
anybody can do to help you really, beyond you finding out what one
is. These wide, loose disintegrating
RRs speed rapidly at the beginning. If you don't get the instant
spurt at the beginning, you'll never see it as
an RR because it hasn't got any RR on the end. It's disintegrated
already. You see an RR as it goes over, has
a hook tail, and many an auditor gets so educated into recognizing
an RR by its hooked tail that when he
gets to a disintegrating RR he sees no hooked tail but he missed
the spurt beginning.
Now of course, the meter is already in motion at the time
that the auditor starts to interpret it. You see,
he's used to having his attention caught by the fact that the
thing is moving. He gets his attention -- so he
says, "If it -- needle starts moving then I should look at it and
see if it's an RR." Well, of course then he only
sees the end of it and it looks like a fall. Ah, but it had a
spurt beginning. He's looked at a disintegrated RR.
The thing has disintegrated before it's gone. See, that thing has
blown. It's blown completely. There's
nothing -- no smoke left on it.
You call this thing again and it doesn't fire at all. And
you say, "Well, I must have the wrong item. Let's
random list for forty-five minutes." Oh, hell's bells, you could
run a whole bank in forty-five minutes. It's
nonsense, you see? Why? That's because the auditor doesn't have
his attention on the meter to catch the
beginning spurt.
See, an RR is characterized by a spurted accelerated
beginning which is -- gives it its name. It looks like
something taking off -- you know, like being shot -- shot away
from its start. It's a spurting beginning. It
goes psshh, see. And then its other characteristic is a curled
end. After it gets passed over here, it go khihh!
And an RR is always characterized by these two things. Beginning
goes psshh, and the end go slhhp. All
right, the disintegrating RR doesn't go slhhp, it only goes pssht.
All right, so if you have to have your attention caught by
the meter already being in motion, you miss
the beginning spurt so you don't know if you've got an RR or a
fall. Then you'll see an RR start off
beautifully. You can gauge the speed of an RR, of how far it will
run, by just watching it. You can get used
to that. And it starts off beautifully, it goes pssht, and it --
it didn't go anyplace. That's a choked RR. And
there's a suppress, or a cognition suppressed, or the pc has done
something there. Pc has suddenly
wondered if it WSB "covitiviwiwibibly" or something, see --
halfway through having said it. Something has
happened here. And that RR isn't blown and it won't blow until you
ask the pc what happened and get rid of
that suppress and then the pc says, "Well," the pc says, "Well, I
was so-and-so, and so-and-so, and I
thought it might be because there's two here on the sheet and so
forth, and I thought it might be and
therefore so-and-so."
And you say, "All right. Now, I'm going to say the item
again. 'Inevitable catsfish,' 'inevitable catsfish.'
All right. That rocket read." And it will. It rocket read
beautifully. Where was the charge? The charge is
insisted on. You must realize that these RIs don't have any more
charge on them than you see on the meter.
Just mark that down. This meter is not indicating the presence of
charge. The rocket read doesn't tell you
that there is some charge someplace. Just do a total associate.
See? The rocket read is the charge. All the
charge that is going to come off of that thing is seen in and has
velocity in that rocket read. That is the
charge. Now, you could be very pedantic and say, "Well, actually
the thetan in the facsimile is subjected to
certain impulses which causes him to impulsify and the 7.6-volt or
9-volt current which is being passed
through the corporeal resistance chamber known as a human body is
therefore modulated and monitored by
the various circuits which are approached from the right-hand
electrode and which terminate in the left-hand
electrode, and there's a magnetic influence so that you get a
visual response in the ohmmeter" --
oh-damn-iter.
Some poor dear in Scientology every once in a while tells
me, "Huh, but you talk so much about
electricity, I-heh-heh -- I don't know anything about these
things." I always shake them by the hand and
say, "That makes two of us." Other people pretend they know
something about it, see? Well, this is an
interesting piece of magic you've got here in an E-Meter. That's
for sure. This is an interesting piece of
magic and isn't it interesting that it doesn't exist elsewhere on
the whole track.
Oh, recording devices, and detective devices and thisas and
thatas and the other thing all exist on the
whole track. And there are all kinds of things and my old pals in
certain sections of this universe -- well, in
the Galactic Confederacy particularly -- would be absolutely
horrified if I said, "Well, we developed a meter
we don't have here," because their pride is that they have all the
equipment that was all -- has ever existed
or that will ever be developed, and they know every electronic
activity that has ever existed or will ever exist
anywhere.
And that ends their modesty on the subject, see. And you
say, "Well, here's a box of tricks that does
something that none of our meters do." It wouldn't be a popular
statement but it'd be a true one. It's quite
remarkable that it does it. So let's not worry why it does it.
Let's not worry at all why it does it. Let's worry
much more succinctly about the information it gives the auditor.
And the information it gives the auditor is:
There is something there, there is nothing there, or what is there
is beyond the pc's reality. It gives us there
is something there that will be real to the pc. And that's all
fine. We know all that.
But let's take the next step that this thing is charged and
is discharging. Now you've customarily, in the
past, read this on your tone arm. Well, you don't read these
Helatrobus Implants on your tone arm. We don't
care whether the tone arm moves or not. Just skip it out in 3N.
That's too much bother. Because you do a
bank or two and the tone arm starts moving down no matter how high
the thing has been stuck, and all the
charge that was on the original bank you were doing is coming off,
it's coming off on the needle. But you'll
also see the needle action reflect over onto the tone arm. So that
is all the charge there is on an RI.
Don't imagine that sleeping beneath the surface is a
slumbering volcano that something elec can trigger.
No, sir. There is no such thing. When you read one of these things
and it goes pssheww and then you read
it again, ordinarily early on in a case you only get half the RR
or thereabouts and when you read it again you
get a fzzt, very tiny RR, about a quarter of an inch, and when you
read it again it goes thi, tick. That's early
on in a case. Well, what happened to the rest of the RR? You've
got to recognize that something happened
to this RR, otherwise you'll be nagging the pc to find out what
happened to the RR. Well, the RR
evaporated! That's what happened to it.
Now, you've got to tell the difference between an RR that
evaporated and an RR that was choked to
death because they look different on the meter. And you just have
to get your eye educated to be able to
tell the difference. And it's pretty hard to do and it's not a
hundred percent,precision. I had to study in a
meter, I don't know, hour or two or three, and certainly something
on the order of about five or six hours of
auditing, paying attention to just this one thing until I finally
got the subtle nuances of difference between
them. So it's a case where experience is a very good thing to
have.
Well, we can make some very good general statements. You can
see the back break on one of these
things, too. Although what that means is just no more choke, see?
And then you'll run into this one: The
thing fell when he said it and then you had him give you another
version, "coveting-a-tivably" and
something, and "erradicably catfish" and "wingabingably catfish,"
and all of a sudden you'll see this
fantastic rocket read on something that has nothing to do with the
price of oranges, you see? And you say,
"Give me the original item again," and you get a gorgeous rocket
read. In other words, you had a rocket read
sitting on top of it.
Something in his own existence had pressed down on this
thing and had transferred the read from the RI
to this other thing. In other words, it ate up the rocket read.
And the rocket read was encysted and this one
was therefore, wasn't on your plot. That's always what happens
when you can't get plot item to read. It isn't
that the plot item isn't there; electronics were broken down that
way. The Helatrobus boys really ought to
get the manufacturer's seal of approval and the service seal of
approval because I have been looking in vain
to have one of their damn squawk boxes not fire. It's obvious with
that many squawk boxes and electronic
implant boxes in any existing series that -- well, it is obvious
that their repairmen weren't all that good
because they're on cables and so forth. Particularly those strung
outside. Those that are on the last implant
of the first series, that were just there open to the weather.
Oh, I consider it very remarkable that they stay in
operation. I keep looking for a hole to occur in the line
plot. Don't you see? I've had my eye open on this now for the last
two or three thousand items, you know.
Everything working. "Wantably, fantasticably, catfishably" and pow
-- it's working. There it reads.
So I just dropped it out of the line that there's something
wrong with the electronic implant equipment as
the pc went by. See, I dropped that out. The reason I bring that
up, that might occur to some of you.
"Well, I guess that box wasn't working that day," see? Well,
it's always possible that that is true, but I
haven't found it to be true. They always worked. They should get
the manufacturer's seal of approval and so
forth. Their production boys and their service unit should have
gotten the leather medal pinned on with a
blanket pin very deep.
But the point I am making here is that there's something
wrong with the way the pc has approached this
thing and as your pc gets to flying on down the line, you less and
less will have trouble with this.
The point I'm trying to make to you: You do your job well at
first and your job gets easier. And you do a
lousy job at first and your job will not get easier, and it might
even get harder.
Now, the point where you make speed is to do your originals
and earlies right and then you'll make more
and more speed, more and more speed, more and more speed. It goes
faster and faster and faster and faster
and faster, and faster. And don't pull colossal blunders like
letting your pc miss an item which remains fully
charged even though he hit it, you know. You couldn't get any
rocket read so just went on by it and then
find your pc leaping into the second series. The source of all
skips is a missed RI and there's two ways to
miss one. Just not have it at all or not discharge it.
In other words, a skip -- flying into another bank, flying
elsewhere, bouncing off the track, not being
there in the incident anymore -- is caused by missing an RI,
either by not calling it at all -- we go from
"covetably" to "inevitably" or something of the sort and we don't
get the nix in, see; or we call it, it didn't
fire, we don't get the charge off of it and simply go on.
The next action the pc is liable to do is skip. You skip
something, so he Qs-and-As and he may go into
the identical or the similar implant of the second series. And you
suddenly find yourself running the second
implant series. And you wonder, what's all this? The pc is being
torn to ribbons, nothing is RRing right, the
thing is -- the words aren't right and all of a sudden he says,
"Impassably and insurmountably, inevitably
catfish." And you say, "That isn't in the line plot." It's in the
second series -- not those words are in the
second series; I haven't got the second series plot. I've got some
of it though. And you say, "Where did all
this come from? What happened? What happened? What happened?"
Well, a good way to do that is to get
your pc oriented early as to his surroundings. Have him close his
eyes and take a look.
He doesn't want to look very much. When you first start to
run it he will tell you it's terribly unreal, and
he can't see very much. And after you have done a bank or two his
reality on visio will be getting greater
and greater and better and better. And it's usable by the auditor.
Now, pcs go up steps and down steps in the first implants
and they don't always just go down. They
sometimes also go up because that's more confusing. They don't
turn around in the middle of a set of steps
and go the other way but they'll start a bank and it'll go
backwards to the last bank -- so forth. So this is all
very confusing. But you get a pc -- so don't tell him you always
go downstairs because sometimes they go
up, see? And sometimes the oppterms are on the right and sometimes
they're on the left which also makes it
interesting and sometimes a pc is sitting there with a line plot
and says, "This line plot ought to be printed in
reverse, you know." Well, you can say it's printed right for at
least half of the GPMs. Because it is. About
half of them, it is reversed. See?
Now, as the pc goes along you can actually -- and you can
overdo this -- you can make him put too
much attention on and work him into it, and yap at him and nag
him, and so forth, but it helps you out and
you say, "Take -- take a look there, what do you see?"
And he says, "Well, I see a flight of steps."
And you say, "Well, are any of them gray?"
"Yeah," he says, "there's one down there that's gray."
That's an RI you didn't get.
"Are any of those steps black?"
"Yeah, well there's one over here that's black and the rest
of them closer to me are white."
Brother, something's wrong here. Something's missed, see.
That's pretty crude repair. I myself don't use
it. But I like to hear a pc tell me, "Those steps are all white
now." Oh, that's very nice, that's very nice. That
tells you you haven't got a speck of charge left behind you
because those charge -- those steps were black
as ink the first time you went over them, see. But RI by RI they
turn white, see? Interesting isn't it? You can
even orient the pc.
This is real trickery. I mean, these guys really set it up
well. This is real trickery on a part of an auditor.
Tricky, sneaky. Before you list for the next goal, have the pc
close his eyes and tell you what he sees. Find
the next goal and its top oppterm. Then have the pc close his eyes
and tell you if he's in the same locale that
he was in before, because if he's in a different locale you've
missed a whole bank. Tricky, huh? You get what
I mean?
These banks usually end at the top or bottoms of stairs.
You've just gotten the last item, you see.
He closes his eyes. "All right. Where are you?"
"Well, I'm on this landing."
"All right. You got that? Oh, you're on the landing. That's
fine. All right." Now we're going to get the
next goal and we get the next goal and as soon as we've got it and
then we've got its -- the top oppterm of it,
we have the pc close his eyes again and we say, "Now where are
you?" "Well," he says, "I'm in the same
place, but just one step down." "That's fine." Tricky. That's
using the scenery to confirm the fact you don't
skip anything.
You'll find out the pc has never had any visio. These implants are
marvelous to run because the pc has
never had any visio, has never seen anything, has never heard
anything, has no sonic, has no visio, has no
tactile, no kinesthetic, nothing; and he's been in this state ever
since anybody has ever tried to run an
engram on him. Now, this has been the bane of everybody's
existence. You run him halfway through a bank
or a quarter of the way through the first bank, and all of a
sudden he's got dim visio. You run him all the way
through a couple of banks and boy, he's got visio. You run him
through three banks and he's got
kinesthesia. You can hear these crazy -- he can get one of these
crazy theta poles wobbling. He can feel it
wobble. See, and he'll come up to full sonic on this. Quite
remarkable.
We've sweated for years, all kinds of trickery to turn on
the perceptics of a pc. Well, it's in the Helatrobus
Implants right on the button. You run them, you got it.
Well, you can use the scenery of the implant to orient the
pc and tell whether or not you've missed items.
In fact there's a lot of trickery involved in this. See? As far as
the auditor is concerned, he can get pretty
slippy. Now, I don't ask you to get this slippy, but on certain
flights of stairs, apparently, there are electric
switches on the walls that tell you what goal the next bank is
turned to. That's pretty good, isn't it? It's not in
English, but the pc understood the language when he went through.
Pc told him, "Well, I know it's
undoubtedly the right goal because it's marked up there on the
wall." The way you turn over the switch over
to the goal, "to be happy." Apparently this shifted all the relays
and everything that was going on in the
squawk boxes by just shifting one lever.
I like to think that one of the operators accidentally threw
the activation switch one day while setting up
one of the series of goals. I like to think that happened. Anyhow
-- because actually the controls were on
the landings and stairs. Pretty tricky.
Now, all of this is very good news and it's very good news
from several quarters. One, the Helatrobus
Implants are incredible. It's unbelievable. Man in the street can
run them, however. You just find "to forget"
on the top oppterms and just go along with your 3N patter. Give
him the thing. You don't have to write it all
out for him. You shouldn't write somebody's whole bank out for
him. He should have to think it out that
much to keep him in the incident. You understand?
You can give him the number and so forth, and you just tell
him how to do this. He maybe even have had
to go home and read his dictionary and study to find out what
"-ably" was, and so forth. But he doesn't
know anything more about it than that. And he'll run this thing,
and he'll run just about so long, and all of a
sudden he'll start telling you that this was a long time ago. And
that this was this, and this was that and he'll
really start holding forth on the subject.
In other words, it runs as gently as that. It requires no
education. But the incredibility of it keeps it from
being believed or usurped and used for evil purposes until we can
control it. You'd be surprised the degree
that we use incredulity as a protective security mechanism in
Scientology. Just never forget that. Because
it's a marvelous one, it's a marvelous one.
"Oh, that Scientology, it's balderdash! Those people believe
-- that cult believes..." and so forthh. I very
often feel like just patting those horses' heads just very
smoothly and nicely and neatly and saying, "Good
show, brother, good show. Thank you." Because they're operating as
a security screen far more effective
than any security screen any of us could devise. You realize that
the psychiatrist has just now found birth
and prenatals. He's been chewing away on birth and prenatals for
some time now and he'll eventually
graduate up to it, but what's to stop some Russian from putting
these -- one of these banks on a tape
recorder and playing it off to somebody? What's to stop them? They
don't think they'll go nuts. The only
thing that will stop them is because, "Well, those Scientologists,
they have some ridiculous beliefs." And
that actually will protect us right up, straight up to the point
when we don't need any protection, which
point will happen suddenly. So don't always revile this type of an
attitude. Recognize that it has its uses. It
wasn't designed that way but it does have its uses.
You realize that we might very well be under the gun of some
government or we might be here, we might
be there. We might be... Or there might be barbed wire around
Saint Hill here until you couldn't get a mouse
through or an English rabbit. You know, guards all over the place.
"Hup 2, 3, 4. Blah-blah-raharh-grrr-grrr
-- all this stuff -- I'll just show -- halt where you are -- hush,
hush," see? Can you imagine what that would do
to you? Supposing -- I just heard today that somebody more or less
didn't talk to the public about implants.
Well, all right. The factor of incredulity tends to slow them down
a little bit. They're afraid somebody will get
in their faces. But remember this, they're putting themselves on a
withhold. I almost classified the line plots.
Then I said, "No, I won't put anybody on that much of a withhold
on this stuff, because it's too tough. It
would be too tough on them." We'll just continue to depend upon
incredulity.
Now, that factor doesn't keep you from auditing a pc,
however. You don't have to tell the pc anything.
Ian is auditing a pc in here that never heard from nothing and she
ran down through the bank "to forget"
gorgeously. Feels fine. Feels wonderful. Doesn't even know where
she is. Didn't know at the time, so what's
the difference? You don't have to totally educate the pc except
maybe in word endings or something like
that in order to run them cold.
Take the milkman out here, sit him down, get "to forget" to
fire, get "forgotten," get "nix forgotten." He
says, "What's this 'nix'? "
"Well, that's just what you say at this stage." And you say,
"All right. Now give me number 3 there on
the paper I gave you. You have to fill in the 'forgotten' after
it."
And he says, "What's that mean?"
"Well, that's -- doesn't matter what it means. Say it." All
right. That's fine. That rocket reads beautifully,
and so forth. There we go on 3N. Just roll it. See? Keep rolling
it.
This guy goes on and he says these things, says,
"Ssss-ssss-ssss." He ends up at the other end of the
line.
You say, "Now, we have to find what the next goal is," you
know.
"Goal?"
"Yes, yes. Now, who or what would 'to forget' oppose? Just
keep telling me." "Oh well, you want it that
way." And he goes on and he gives it to you, whatever it is --
"remember," and so on.
You say, "That fires. That's -- that's it."
He says, "You know, I've got a feeling that is it." Take him
right on down. I don't think you could run him
halfway through the first implant but what he says, "Now, wait a
minute now. This happened a long time
ago. Now, I know you're going to argue with me, but it's sort of
like this; I get an idea I was living on this
planet, see? And that's funny because, you know..."
So you see, that incredulity might deny you some pcs and may
give you some catcalls but it doesn't
actually keep you from auditing anyone. You understand?
You don't have to sell them on whole track before you audit
them on whole track now because they're
sitting right there, man. They're right there. They've been there
ever since. And it flies. And your job as an
auditor is just to do a technically perfect job on the thing. The
only rough spot in auditing all these is
auditing a goal you have that you haven't had run, that is about
to be run on you. Things tend to go kind of
solid. But fortunately, there was quite a lot of variation in
these goal patterns and you don't follow that.
It would be quite strange to have three banks simultaneous
between auditor and pc. That's a lucky break,
isn't it? They change the thing often enough to keep it from being
too restimulative while auditing. All right.
This, then, gives the auditor a little bit of pause. The
only place you really run into this is "to forget."
Therefore, one of the first duties an auditor has is to get the
bank "to forget" run out very cleanly indeed
and he'll feel fine because the second bank doesn't much
restimulate while you are auditing the thing. I've
audited one of these recently on a bank that wasn't run out, and I
felt like I was getting me 'ead knocked off,
and knew what it was and knew why. And it was uncomfortable. But
that was remediable because the bank,
to be restimulative to that degree, must be very ripe and ready to
be run almost at once anyway, don't you
see?
So it's coming straight up and it will be run. That's the
only liability there is to this stuff.
Now, the fact that they can all be audited out very rapidly
gives you no alibi whatsoever not to get them
audited out. You haven't got any excuse at all not to audit them
out. Now, the only excuse you -- pardon me,
you do have one excuse not to audit them out: if you don't have
them.
Now, how many people have got these? Well it's the wildest
kind of a guess, but I think we're up to
about 5 percent don't. Don't have the Helatrobus Implants or it's
over their heads. It's a very small
percentage. And we've certainly moved up in percentage because
everybody under the sun, moon and stars
we've been grabbing hold of have got these, but we do have our 5
percent. Used to be a far, far greater
percentage, don't you see, so we've closed it down to that degree.
Now, what do you do with that 5 percent? You are going to
have a certain amount of trouble with some
of the 95 percent because they've only got the second implant,
see, or something like that. I could anticipate
running into some trouble of that character, but that isn't any
trouble because they audit just like the first
implant, except they have a different pattern. Until you get that
pattern in your hands, just dog it off
somehow or another and do the job.
What about this remaining 5 percent? What can you do for
those fellows? They fall into two categories
based on the mechanics of the time track. They fall into
categories that do have the implants but cannot
approach them and those that don't have and so they aren't there
to be approached. There's no implants to
be run.
That is to say, there's implants on the case, but they are
not the Helatrobus Implants. And that fellow to
some slight degree is slightly out of luck, because he's got
implants that are just as vicious as the
Helatrobus Implants one way or the other but they aren't the same
pattern; they don't have patterns of that
character; you can't handle them in the same way and he's under
that much liability and so forth. That's sort
of bad luck. Bad luck.
Well, how did this fellow escape them? Well, he didn't
escape them by being tough and hairy-chested,
you know, and not being picked up and all that sort of thing. No,
he escaped them because he's from
another galaxy. He ain't not native to this 'ere galaxy. You may
find somebody who is native to this galaxy
who never went through it. He was in so lousy a condition they
ignored him, or something of the sort. I
think you'll find that very rare, if it exists at all.
Now we have to take up the possibility -- not the
possibility, we have to look at the factor. We have to
look at the factor of the fact that this is a rim system that we
are in right now. This is Sun 12 and it is a rim,
tiny, microscopic, terribly insignificant little bunch of apace
dust. Not to do it down particularly but
compared to other systems, galaxies, confederations and that sort
of things and other possessions of
confederations and so forth, this is nothing. That's why it's left
alone. But it stands pretty well alone. It's
peculiarly isolated. This is also true of most of the stars out in
this end of this wheel.
You know the galaxy is a big wheel and the galaxy has a hub
and it has a rim and we are very close to the
rim. You look down into the southern horizon, you notice the stars
in the southern hemisphere look terribly
big and terribly bright. Well, it isn't that they are so much
terribly bigger than other stars. That's just the end
of the galaxy that you are looking at. That's the end. There's
just that many between us and no more this
galaxy, see?
It's very close, and people wishing to get rid of
troublesome characters, captives, anybody you can think
of... You know, around city dumps, you know, they always have
trouble around cities because people start
using certain areas of the city for dumps, you know? And they take
-- use it as a dumping ground for the ice
cube and for other thing: unwanted beings, unwanted people,
unwanted personnel.
Like you overthrow the old regime, you see, and you throw
them through a good, stiff implant that mixes
them up so they can't tell north from west and you throw them into
an ice cube capsule of some kind or
another. And what do you do with them? Well, the primary threat to
a system is the strength of a thetan.
That's the primary threat in the view of some very aberrated
character. He thinks the main danger in the
planet, or main danger in the system or the galaxy, or so forth,
is a free thetan.
The possibility also that a person in -- who is acting as a
doll, or something like that, can exteriorize from
where he is and go home, pick up another body and come back and
raise the devil with him.
In other words, these people are -- have overts so they try
to protect themselves from the vengeance of a
free thetan and they compound the possibility and the potentiality
of this particular universe as a trap, and
they make these people very thoroughly trapped. Well, they dump
them. They dump them pretty well far
from home. They try to -- don't even try to -- they don't dump
them close in, they dump them way out.
Well, Helatrobus threw any people that it implanted as far
as possible. Oh, some of them were --
wandered back, and some of them stayed around, and some of them
didn't get badly affected and reported
back and that sort of thing, but they also dumped people pretty
far out.
So this particular system got dumping, and the Marcab
Confederacy and some of the other stars around
here just got a terrific concentration of people being dumped from
the center of the hub, you know. They
don't want to go over to the next galaxy, so they just take it out
to the edge of the city, you know.
All right. And this is close enough to other galaxies that
ambitious characters over there trying to get rid
of people out of their galaxies and systems, and so forth, would
also use these rim stars. Now you get down
toward the center of this galaxy and the possibility of finding
somebody without the Helatrobus Implants, of
finding any foreign implant system, will probably be totally
negligible. Probably nonextant, you see?
But out here you got a mixed bag and we don't know what they
did in the next galaxy. See?
Now, science fiction writers following the cue of some chap,
I've forgotten his name now, Einstein,
Beinstein, something like that, who said that MC squared over C
wouldn't go, man, and that the speed of
light could not be excessive. And actually I was looking up some
speed tables the other day, and a trillion
light years per day is not full throttle on a space wagon. So
there's traffic between galaxies and there's traffic
between islands of galaxies and other islands of galaxies.
Interesting.
Has a lot -- you say, well, this is science fiction. No. No,
no. No. The only part of science fiction there
are, is the mistakes the science fiction writers have made while
writing about their own past. They've made a
lot of errors there.
The truth of the case is that it's -- it has a lot to do
with you as an auditor, suddenly. Not that you have
to embrace science fiction, but you have to look at this
possibility. You've got to face up to the isness of the
thing. Man's greatest trouble in solving his own problems, see, he
didn't have enough on the ball to face up
to the isness of existence. And the reasons for that are very
plain, short, succinctly stated. That case which
evinces the greatest unreality about things is that case most
subject to bank solidification in an effort to
remember.
That's a technical statement I just made and has a lot to do
with your engram running. It's directly
proportional His effort to remember increases the solidity of his
bank, which is painful to him, which then
brings about his statement concerning unreality.
See, that's proportional. The amount of unreality evinced by
a case, then, is proportional to the amount
of solidity caused in his time track by his efforts to remember.
If his bank goes solid every time he tries to
remember something this becomes painful, so then he counters this
by saying it is unreal.
This fellow that tells you, "I don't believe in past lives"
is saying, "My time track goes solid when I try to
remember." And it has an awful lot to do with you as an auditor,
because that case that evinces great
unreality must be given very gentle handling and you cannot run an
engram on that case. Not only -- you
must not run an engram on that case, because the bank will go
solid.
Now, you could take almost anybody here and run them through
an engram once. Let's take a
late-on-the-chain engram. We could run them through the engram
once. We'd get away with it. We can run
them through twice; we can get away with it. This is not a basic
on a chain, see? We run it three times, it
starts to get kind of solid. And we run it four times and by golly
that's getting awful solid. And we run that
engram five times and rrah-hrrw. It's getting tough, man. And we
run it six times, we'll just freeze him in it. It
takes three to ten days for the thing to key out and go soft again
-- which it will do.
Now, that's true of anybody here. I'm talking about
something late on a chain, you understand?
Those engrams have always given us trouble. They've always
been sticky, and it even says in Book
One, don't run them. You have to brush them off enough sometimes.
You can always take a case through
them once, you know, to get back early. By the time you've taken
them through two, three times you wish
you hadn't. The bank's going solid.
Well now, this case of tremendous unreality goes solid on
one pass. You practically can't examine the
bank. It's practically as much as your life's worth to even date
this character. If you could perfectly and
accurately date without any flaw in your auditing, yes, it would
soften up the bank, but if you're clumsy in
dating and you date this fellow without any great reality anyhow,
the little errors you make will throw him off
enough to beef up the bank and he gets a greater unreality than
before.
There is a coordination between unreality and solidity which
is reversed. The greater solidity, the more
unreality the person will advertise. Even though the engram gets
very real to him when it gets solid, general
bank solidification and so forth brings about unreality. Why is
this? Because the basic mechanism of the
time track has the liability of making the thetan go solid. How
does a thetan cease to be Clear and start going
solid? How does he become solid? Probably by making a time track
in the first place, of course. And the
more this track is jammed, and the less he has to do with it, of
course the less is as-ised about it.
Well, that's just general time track. Now, what about
implants? Why do we specialize in implants? It's
because an implant is the product of an ARC break plus
solidification. If you wanted to run old ARC Break
Straightwire -- "Recall an ARC break. Recall an ARC break" -- you
would find the guy sitting eventually 3-D
in an implant. This guy sees a theta trap. That's a warning to him
that he's not wanted around here, and it
causes an ARC break. And all these traps and such devices and so
forth and betrayals are basically ARC
breaks.
Now, the method a thetan uses to handle an ARC break is to
bring about an unreality, which he usually
does with a "not-is," don't you see? And it becomes the common
denominator of the bank then to have an
unreal bank because if it gets real it hurts too much.
So your effort to persuade him that this is real, that he is
looking at, of course does him a tremendous
disservice because it hurts like the mischief. The only safeguard
he has against being caught in a solid bank,
you see, and being upset by a solid bank, is by saying it is not
real and not permitting you to find anything
real on it. Now, that type of case is going to give you some
trouble, because you will try to prove to the case
the reality of what you're doing. And because what you are doing
is real, you can do that very easily and it
just results in a total overwhelm of the case. You can all too
easily prove that what you are doing is real.
So when somebody starts telling you about how unreal it all
is, if you're running the Helatrobus Implants
you go right on running them, man, because that will do the most
for him that can be done, you see. The
most that can be done for the case is get those implants run --
real or unreal. But you can't find those
implants and he says it's terribly unreal and all is unreal and
everything is unreal and you can't find
"forgotten" and "nix forgotten" and so forth, and you just can't
get any place like this, brother, you watch it!
One of two things is true. You either have your paws on
somebody who is not a native of this universe --
I mean this galaxy. He's a native of an adjourning -- adjoining
galaxy, and you don't know the pattern of his
implants; or you've got on your hands somebody who has been so
implanted so often that just the thought
of five minutes ago gives him a headache. Why does it give him a
headache? Because he thinks of five
minutes ago and the action of remembering causes solidification of
the bank which causes pressure to come
in and he got a headache.
So his only protection against this is to make you unreal
and not-is it. His last weapon on the bank is to
not-is and in the absence of his not-is he damn near dies. You
see? What do you do with him? Well, this is
not -- I haven't time to give you all the data on some of the
material I've been unearthing with regard to this,
but I've been developing quite a bit of little odds and ends of
technology concerning the time track and its
automatic nature and its state of manufacture and that sort of
thing.
I just realized just this afternoon that we have a
straightwire process that does an awful lot for this case.
We're making him remember and the track is going less solid. I'll
be developing quite a few -- I'll tell you just
to -- not to leave you on the hook.
There is an involuntary intention. I've discovered an
involuntary intention. You have involuntary
muscles and you've got habit patterns and training patterns and
all this sort of nonsense. Well, add to -- up
that in a thetan to an involuntary intention. He wants to open the
door and so he just bluh opens the door,
see. See, he involuntarily opens the door. In other words, he just
opens the door.
My father used to answer telephones this way. Plunk. You
know. And telephone rings; plunk, you know.
Telephone appears, you know, off the hook, and so forth. Actually
you've intended it up there. You got the
idea? It's been intended into a new position. Well, that's an
involuntary intention, and apparently it's the
same mechanism that increa -- creates the time track. It's an
involuntary create. You see?
So that's an involuntary intention and it belongs to this
set of thetan muscles -- if you'll forgive me --
which operate without intention, without knowing intention, but
have a sub-awareness intention. And a
thetan can do this. He doesn't have to have a bank, machinery or
anything else. He just simply can do it.
Well, that forms the time track.
Now, solidification of the track is caused by combat of the
postulate "be solid." You see? Everybody
wants you to be solid. You don't want to be solid. That makes
enough fight right there to solidify
something. Well, it goes worse than that. The solidification
mechanism is composited by remembering,
naturally, and you as an auditor are actually handling, when you
handle the time track, the involuntary
intention of the thetan. That's what the time track is: It's an
involuntary intention to create. It just responds
automatically. And you say go here, go there, do this, do that.
And he has pictures. Where do pictures
come from? Well, they come from this involuntary intention. You're
just handling that mechanism.
Well, you can handle that mechanism, directly. You can
handle the mechanism directly. And if you could
get a case unbailed enough -- this is actually the plot -- you get
a case unbailed enough and go early
enough on the time track, and you can actually snip the whole
track, see. It just rolls up like it's just nowhere
now. See.
It's the existence of the time track that makes memory
impossible. But it is the obsession to remember
which makes the time track -- involuntary intention -- take place
in the first place, see?
So any goal like "to remember" raises hell with
solidification. Or any implant that louses up -- and they all
do -- a thetan's memory or sense of time, result in the
solidification of the time track by taking over the
involuntary create that brings about the time track. See that?
So you say, "What --" you say to the pc, "What instinctive
action has been regretted?" I don't care what
fancy wording -- just as long as it adds up to that sense. In
other words, what involuntary action have you
engaged in which you then choked off and made an enemy out of?
See? What instinctive action was
regretted? What instinctive action have you disliked? You know,
anything you wanted to go at it, you've
got a straightwire process, which actually runs implants. It runs
Chem at the rate of a snail racing madly
alongside of the quarterhorse of doing the Helatrobus Implants,
but you nevertheless -- there is a door
open.
In other words, the door is not slammed tight in these
fellows' faces, even if they are not native to this
uni -- this particular galaxy and even if their sense of reality
is so great that all this could happen. And I'll
develop a few of those processes and oddly enough I don't think
the patterns are innumerable. I think
possibly maybe five or six different case patterns. Maybe more
than that, but if you come up against one of
them as an auditor, and you decide the only thing you can do is
just run engram after engram after engram.
Watch it man, because you're going to get a solidification of the
track and you're going to get that pc in
trouble. So don't go in for this engram after engram after engram,
you see. Hit them lightly with a feather.
Now, if you are lucky enough to be able to get a basic like 360
trillion years ago and it's an overt and it's
basic on a ch -- oh, you're in man. You can handle that, because
of course that will erase, and so forth. But
how about this fellow who is very unreal? You going to get a 360
trillion incident when he can't get
breakfast? You're sure not, you see.
In other words, it's all done with the feather. You run into
the case that hasn't got the Helatrobua
Implants, you handle with a feather, huh? Don't go charging and
barging around. Open that case up gently
and I'll try to give you some straightwire processes and things
like this, that gradually, gradually pet the
shadow of the cat.
Okay? Well, there's a lot of stuff turning up on this, that
and the other thing. It's all very interesting. It
mostly comes under the heading of phenomena and data and that sort
of thing. And I've recently been
understand -- been studying the power, activities and habits of an
Operating Thetan, just from an
intellectual basis but with some view of reality, which I really
haven't had on this too well before. I find we
have here a fairly complex being and a very, very formidable one.
His ethical level and that sort of thing,
deteriorating, was what got him into trouble in the first place.
So when you put him back together again, of
course, his ethical level will have to be put back together again
too. Otherwise, he'd just get into trouble and
get everybody else in trouble.
But the point I'm making here is that the state of OT is so
far above anything we have ever dreamed of,
that I say our breakthrough -- our break-through along this line
is tremendous. So tremendous that we had
better start getting our house in order. Not to protect ourselves
from OTs, that isn't the point. But it means
that a political breakthrough is -- puh.
You have any trouble eating breakfast? See, we would be
shooting mice with an elephant gun, don't you
see? And we're not about to attack anybody or do anything bad like
that. But we might have a few
heart-to-heart talks.
So actually, I have had to be plotting up in front of us a
bit politically about where did we go and how do
we relate to, and I find some very interesting data. Probably some
of you have past connections of one kind
or another when you suddenly say, "Huh, I wonder how I forgot
that?" You probably have to go take care
of these things. But the basic thing is that this planet is
peculiarly susceptible to be a rehabilitation base and
so forth at this part of the universe, and I think that can be
sold to even most of the confederations. I don't
think we have to sell it to much of anybody else; I don't think
they'll be in a position to argue. They've only
got atom bombs. We've got OTs.
Okay. Thank you very much.
