   Well, glad to see you all here, dry. Summer - summer's gone now,  you
know?  I find out when summer is gone by watching the banyan tree.  It's
on  the other side of the house there. And when its leaves start to turn
brown,  why, we know autumn is amongst us. So break out your  boots  and
dogsleds. (laughter).
   
   This is what?
   
   Audience: Eighteen July.
   
   Eighteen July AD 13, Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, and  another
lecture on dating.
   
   Now,  I've already told you--I've already told you that dating  is  a
very  high-caliber activity, very important in auditing,  and  that  the
tone arm sticks only because of wrong dates. Got That? That's realy  the
reason tone arms stick. Frankly, it's the only reason tone arms stick.
   
   And  you might have asked yourself, some time or another, "If you  do
have  this  much track, why does everybody around believe so  implicitly
that  they have lived only once?" See, it might seem rather odd  to  you
that  the insistance on this fact that people have lived only once,  the
near-psychotic  frenzy with which people go into,  insisting  they  have
lived  only  once. It must really take something to shut off  somebody's
memory  to  that degree. It really must take something. Actually  a  GPM
doesn't account for it. The goal "To Be dead" in the GPMs is not enough.
Because that doesn't say you've lived only once, that just tells you  to
be dead.
   
   So  you  might  ask yourself, why is it that man is  so  wrong-dated?
Now,  when  I was able to run down the common denominator of people  who
can't run on the time track, I found out that the common denominator was
not whether or not they got sonic and visio, but whether or not they got
tone  arm  motion. Very good, we've just covered that in a lecture.  And
the reason they don't get tone arm motion is wrong time - wrong dates.
   
   All right, so much for that.
   
   Behind  all  aberration there must be a lie. And you  can  mark  that
down  in  letters  of fire. Aberration cannot exist in the  presence  of
truth.  Aberration can only exist in the presence of a lie. If  somebody
is  hung  with  lombosis,  you can be very sure  that  there  is  a  lie
connected with the lumbosis. Elementary, my dear Watson. That is one  of
the  common denominators of Scientology. That is one of the truisms, one
of the maxims, something that weaves through everything.
   
   There are others of similar nature. For instance, don't talk to a  pc
or  a person, or talk around a person, who is unconscious. You know, and
it's  that  sort of thing. And want to know something about  aberration,
that's  a  better  contribution than anything "Wuff  Wuff"  Pavlov  ever
dreamed  up. Didn't you know that was his name? Later part of  his  life
you  know.  His papers, as far as I'm concerned, go "Bark-bark-bark-bark
comma, bark-bark-bark comma, bark-bark-bark semicolon."
   
   Reg  <Reg  Sharp> was kind enough to dig me up some Pavlov. I  wanted
some Pavlov. I was studying how not to write up technical data. I didn't
know  that was why I wanted Pavlov, I just knew it must be important  to
do  some study on this, and that's what I found. I didn't find that dogs
were very informative, I know more about dogs than he does. But - I mean
just  as  dogs. Dogs are friends of mine, and he didn't like them.  But,
"Wuff  Wuff" Pavlov gives us a marvelous example of how not to write  up
technical information. It's heroic, man. Try it sometime. He wanders all
over the pastures and the fields and dales, and so forth, and he finally
gets down to his something-or-other.
   
   It's  much more important to him that he used "surgery comparable  to
that applied to human beings" when operating on dogs. And he goes on  at
great length about the surgery precautions taken on his dogs. And he was
taking perfectly healthy, happy dogs, and cutting out half their bladder
or  half their esophagus or half of something. He never could go all the
way,  you know? He - And he admitted that this more or less damaged  his
laboratory  animals, and therefore he had to take surgical  precautions.
And it isn't a textbook on surgery.
   
   He's  giving,  of  course, the conditions of his experiment.  But  he
never gets around to the experiment.
   
   But  anyway, "Wuff_ Wuff" Pavlov is a marvelous example of a  lot  of
things. He is a man who is totally dedicated to the dramatization of one
engram: the-Darwinian theory - Man from Mud. He's a physiologist  turned
psychologist.  And  he's  in  wild protest  against  the  psychologists.
Because  remember, the psychologists of his day believed  in  the  soul.
Some  of  them were still around who did. After all, psychologist  means
Psyche - Ologist.
   
   And  he's the great physiologist. And you want to look at how you get
aberrated because your neurons have turned into morons.
   
   I  was there trying to ask a question. I'm not wandering afield  from
what I'm talking about here, I was trying to ask, I was trying to ask  a
question.
   
   Why  is  it  that the Russians know nothing about some of  the  basic
laws of social behavior? Why is it that they overlook these laws? And  I
thought,  they  have Pavlov, and Pavlov stresses the salivation  of  the
dog, not his salvation, his salivation, that's all he was interested in,
the  salivation of the dog when stimulated by beefsteak, and the whining
of the dog when beaten with clubs. So they would, he would mix these two
stimulus response mechanisms up, and so on.
   
   And  I  wanted  to know if Pavlov had ever drawn the conclusion  -  I
haven't found this out yet, I can't wade through the stuff - but if he'd
ever drawn the conclusion that a reward was also part of existence. That
was  what I was trying to draw. Do the Russians know this? Is this  part
of  the  Russian  mental  technology? And  apparently  it  is  not.  And
apparently that fact reads through Pavlov without being punched  up,  as
near  as  I  can tell. He doesn't say "existence consists of reward  and
punishment". See? That is not the thesis.
   
   Now,  thee  and  me,  knowing  more  about  this,  would  immediately
conceive  that  if  somebody  had  a dog  salivating  or  whining  under
punishment or reward that he would conclude that there were two stimuli,
and  one  was reward and one was punishment. But this is far too simple,
and  Pavlov never made these comparisons, apparently, as far  as  I  can
tell, wading through the stuff. Isn't that interesting?
   
   I  consider  that  extremely fascinating, because the  whole  Russian
system  is  caving  in because they haven't got this  little  factor  of
reward.  That  is  what  Is  wrong with the  Russian  communist  system.
Frankly,  thee and me could probably sit down and figure out a communist
system  that  would  be a geewhizzer, that would probably  work.  The  -
probably  the  fault is not with communism, the fault is the  lie  which
lies behind communism, which is the physiological nature of man.
   
   Now,  with  that lie back of communism, communism becomes a  scourge.
See,  it  becomes  an aberration. There are probably many  things  about
communism  that aren't aberrative. You could probably do lots of  things
with  the idea of the communal activity of man. You could probably do  a
lot  of things with collectivism. We do things with collectivism. We try
to  make  it  work. The Russians are not interested in  making  it  work
because  they've  misunderstood the nature of man. And  this  is  not  a
lecture on Russia, I'm just showing you the lie back of aberration.
   
   So  communism  becomes fought, and communism becomes very  disastrous
when practiced. And the poor sods that are walking around with communism
wonder  where  their next muzhik is coming from. They  don't  know.  And
that's  because  when  Pavlov did his work,  he  never  said  that  life
consisted of reward and punishment.
   
   He  does  a  total  anatomy of punishment. And here's  this  drifting
factor,  reward, which is apparently on automatic. The reason capitalism
works  is  because nobody has analyzed it, and people want pay and  they
give them pay.
   
   I  almost  started  a  riot amongst Bantus by telling  them  that  if
communism  came to South Africa - this was real mean of me -  why,  they
wouldn't,  they wouldn't get paid, that communisms didn't  pay  you  for
your work. And they thought this was terrible. And they were spitting on
the street and stamping and damning Khrushchev, see?
   
   I  mean  it was very upsetting to them. Because the one thing  -  the
very, very commercial little culture the Bantu has ... And boy you  talk
about  the importance of debts! Some guy owes some money, why that  debt
will be passed down, and next generation, and next generation somebody's
great  great great great grandchildren are still worried abou those  two
cows,  you see, that Uncle Zidd, or something, is owed. They just -  the
idea  of  commerce  and  money and that sort of  thing  is  very  deeply
ingrained in these people.
   
   And  to tell them that communism was a system of getting them to work
so  they  didn't have to be - so they wouldn't be paid, that just  about
finished it.
   
   Now,  if  capitalism  was earnest about fighting  communism,  and  so
forth,  it would dig up a few salient truths and let them have it,  see?
Because that is the lie back of communism. The lie back of communism  is
man is a physiological animal going forward on the basis of a punishment
stimulus-response.  And of course, man does not, DOES  NOT,  respond  to
punishment stimulus response. Very un-uniform response.
   
   You've  had the experience yourself. You take somebody and  you  say,
"If  you  don't  so-and-so and so-and-so, I'm going  to  rhrr-rhrr-rhrr-
rhrrr".
   
   And  A,  that you told this to, cringed and said, "Oh yes! All right,
all right. Don't beat me." And B, C and D said, "Why you SOB. Knock your
block off, see?" You'd knok their heads in, and they'd get back up,  and
they still wouldn't do it. And you knock their heads in, and they'd  get
back  up, and they still wouldn't do it. And it's not a constant,  don't
you see?
   
   In  other  words,  not all living beings succumb to the  stimulus  of
promised  punishment. The whole Roman Empire caved in  because  a  sect,
called  the  Christians,  moved in, who didn't  stimuli  or  who  didn't
"respo" when they got the stimuli of punishment. The court said,  "We're
going  to  burn  you at the stake." And they saic "Burn  away!  We  will
become martyrs." And the Roman Empire couldn't handle them! That was it!
That  was  it,  see,  they'd met their match. Very important.  Extremely
important.
   
   Now,  stimulus-response, then, is half of the picture, don't you see?
Man  does not go as a total stimulus response mechanism. Down in various
homely  locales I've heard "Ya kin ketch more flies with honey  then  ya
kin  with  vinegar!"  You've heard that sort  of  thing.  Well,  they're
talking  about the reward part of existence, see? That's very important,
the reward part of existence.
   
   Now,  the  Christian  had  a greater reward  promised  him  than  the
punishment. In the first place, he HAD to die in order to go to  heaven.
And he simply considered this very accomodating on the part of the Roman
empire  and its courts. It got him there that much quicker. And  so  the
Roman  empire  could  do  nothing  with  the  Christian,  the  Christian
overthrew  the  Roman  Empire  and it  became  the  Holy  Roman  Empire.
Literally, factually, yes, you see?
   
   Well,  there was a lie. There was a lie involved, then, in the  Roman
Empire.  So  it didn't survive. And what was that lie? Well,  they  must
have  been subscribing to the same thing Pavlov was writing about;  that
man  is  a  stimulus-response creature who responds  to  punishment  and
threat  of  punishment; and that to get something done, you threaten  or
you  punish; and if you threaten and punish enough, you will get  things
done.
   
   Well,  I  will  give it to the Roman Empire, they got quite  a  ways.
They  got further than anybody else. But there was a lie involved there,
in  that  there wasn't a whole statement of the proposition.  There  was
also  reward. And the funny part of it is that men will do  more  things
for reward than they will for punishment. So they had just cut out three
quarters of the pie, and then said that the remaining quarter of the pie
was  the totality of the pie, and tried to carry an empire along on that
basis,  and of course, it folded. And what do you know! After all  these
years,  you think things change actually, in this very finite period  of
time  since  the Roman Empire, and the equally religious fervor  of  the
communist Russian Empire, you get the same fault cropping up.
   
   So  you have the philosophy which they adopt is the one which assures
them  that punishment is all. They adopt this philosophy, and they  have
immediately  adopted  something which gives  them  a  commercial  upset,
economic upset. And although they're very clever people and have a great
deal  on  the  ball on the subject of economics, they say economics  are
nine-tenths of life; life is only one-tenth political. They've got a lot
of  things like this. They have a terrific propaganda machine. They have
practically  every  newspaper  editor in the  world  working  for  them.
Khrushchev  has  more press agents than any other single  ruler  in  the
world.
   
   And  yet,  in  spite  of all this, on one of their collective  farms,
they  go  around  and take a look at the tractor, and  its  wheels  have
fallen  off. And they want to know where's the tractor driver, and  they
don't  know  where he is. "Well he's down in the woods". "Well,  where's
the  woods? What's ... Who else is in the woods?" this manager  will  be
saying.  And "Well, he's down there, and they're picking berries."  "Oh,
they're picking berries. Well, all right." And he goes down and he  says
to the guys down in the woods, "What are you doing picking berries?" And
all the old women and everybody down there says, "Well, we've got to  do
something  to  make  a living!" And they found out that  they  can  pick
berries, and put them in boxes and sell them in the local town, and they
can  make  a  couple of quick rubles. See? To hell with  the  collective
farm. See?
   
   Half-a-ruble reward for sweating it out in the woods picking  berries
is much better than a no-ruble reward because they're going to get their
heads  blown  off if they don't drive the tractors and plow the  fields,
see? You get the idea?
   
   So  they're running into this all the time. This causes them then  to
go  into a terrific campaign of some kind or another, you know. They  go
into this terrific campaign, "What you want to be is the "new man", "the
total  communist",  the  this, the that,  the...  Those  guys  are  just
sweating  themselves  to  pieces all the time.  And  they're  trying  to
compensate for this lie.
   
   They  think capitalism produces, in some peculiar and mysterious way,
more  goods  than a communism. And they don't know why this is.  They've
never  analyzed why this is because Pavlov didn't tell them.  Capitalism
has  many, many things wrong with it. But it hasn't clipped off totally,
not until they invented internal revenue, anyway, the totality of award.
So  you can still, you can still, if you're very, very clever and so on,
you can still keep some of your pay, if you're careful. But it's still a
reward system.
   
   Now as that reward system dwindles, so dwindles the actual health  of
the  society. And the more internal revenue and the less reward, and the
more  threat of punishment, and the more you can go to jail if you don't
turn  over all your pounds, shillings, dollars, francs or something,  to
the local income tax people, you see, the more that works, why, the more
difficulty their society gets into. See, you're not spending any time to
work  out how to, how do you go about making a healthy economic society?
They  never spend any time on that. They're just chipping away  at  this
award and punishment. So actually they're starting to borrow Pavlov too.
   
   So,  here  is  a  lie.  Here is a lie. The statement  that  man  acts
totally  because of punishment and only because of punishment; that  man
is  a  driven animal. That lie, all by itself, is destroying the  social
structure  of  man. Because man doesn't go like that! You  see?  But  we
enter  this lie upon the stage, and here we go. All you've got to do  is
have a great big lie floating around someplace and you have trouble.
   
   Now,  it  is  perfectly  all right to have difficulty  isolating  the
truth, as long as you are continuing to try to isolate the truth. That's
the  difference. You sit down hard on one lie, and say that now  is  the
truth,  and you've done the trick, you see? You say, "Pavlov has written
all  there  is to know about the human mind", and at that moment  you've
had  it. Because he hasn't. He hasn't even written about the human mind.
And  the reason I mentioned his prose is because it's obvious why nobody
has ever read him, you can't.
   
   So  a  sort of a tradition has grown up as to what Pavlov's  work  is
all  about. See? And we have not even the work of Pavlov motivating this
kind of thing. We've got a superstition about what the work of Pavlov is
about. It's never been properly presented, you see?
   
   We've  got a lot of lies around, and so forth, but we're not  betting
on  those lies to carry us through, see? That's perfectly all right. You
can  have a whole bunch of misconceptions and still not do your nut. But
the  second you settle completely on a lie, and say now that that is the
truth,  from  that moment on you've had it. And you've  had  it  to  the
degree that that truth can be pervasive in your life. You can say,  "Joe
is  a good man" when you know - when really the truth is he's a bad man,
and  this  may  cause you some inconvenience, but it won't destroy  your
sanity.  It'll  cause you some worry. But you say,  "I  have  lived  but
once",  and  then believe it, defend it and contest it, and  of  course,
you're  going to have trouble from there on out. It takes a lie of  this
magnitude  to  continue the aberration of man. It takes a  magnitudinous
one.
   
   Now,  to  maintain such a lie must at the same time take a  fantastic
amount of duress. I mean you'd have to work at it to maintain that  lie.
And  whenever you find a maintained lie, you'll find somebody is working
at  it. This guy has got a headache... Well, I don't know that you could
do  an all-therapy on this basis. This guy has got a headache. You  find
the  lie connected with the headache, and you could probably resolve the
headache.  That  very well might be an open sesame to all  psychosomatic
healing. You know, you could probably work a whole parade of stuff  out:
"Let's  find  the  lie connected with..." See? "Recall  a  lie  about  a
headache,"  see?  Something like that. And bang, the guy's  headache  is
gone.  You  see, you're working now with one of these first  principles,
when you're working with a lie. You got that?
   
   Now  let's carry this just a little bit further... I didn't  mean  to
get off into_communism. I thought you might be amused. Now carrying this
off  a  little further, let's find a lie about WHAT. See, now that we've
found  out  a  lie is this pervasive, see, now, what would be  the  most
disastrous type of lie? And the most disastrous type of lie as a  common
denominator, although there are many disastrous types of lies, would  be
about time.
   
   So  let's combine these two things, you see? You see what a  lie  can
do,  all  by  itself, that has nothing to do with time. All  right,  now
let's combine it with something which has the power to freeze a tone arm
on a pc, that no matter... a big mid ruds on what bad things you've done
to him in the session, no matter what horrible this-a's'and that-a's and
what processes you were to run - without paying any attention to lies or
time,  you see - no matter what you do to correct this tone arm, if  you
do  not  pay attention to wrong time it will not correct. You got  that?
See?  This is the only one capable of putting a total freeze on  a  tone
arm.
   
   Well  a  total freeze on a tone arm is a total freeze on a  case.  So
this gets fantastic. This gets very, very, very, very dreary indeed.  So
we must be looking here at something like a pervasive common denominator
of abberation when we say "a lie about time".
   
   This  immediately  brings to view processes by  the  ton.  You  start
thinking up processes, you can just string them out by the hour. "Recall
a lie about time", you see. "Recall a lie about time, Recall a lie about
time" see? This kind of a - this kind of a process would just string  on
and on and on and on and on, don't you see?
   
   Now,  it's  interesting that if you - if you - oh, you can  think  of
others.  You  can  think  of  others.  Let's  just  date  everything  in
somebody's  life.  That's an ordinary one. He believes  he's  lived  but
once,  well, let's date everything in that life that has lived but once.
Soon  as  we got that thing kind of dated up you're liable to  find  out
that he'll fall through.
   
   Now,  just  think  of, think of this approach, see?  You  might  even
apply this on an institutional level to just get the whenness of things,
you know? For instance when is this E-Meter? Guy would have to think for
a  long  time.  He'd  finally decide it was now,  see?  Might  be  quite
deaberrative; might straighten out his time track most interestingly. Of
course,  that's highly experimental, not advanced as something  that  is
proven.  But  I'm just giving you an idea that you can extrapolate  this
idea  of  lie about time almost anyplace you want to look, and you  will
have some interesting results on a processing line.
   
   See,  because that combines then the single action that is  the  most
aberrative  action, which is an alter-isness of truth  or  a  denial  of
truth,  with  the one thing which if aberrated brings about,  then,  the
greatest  mess-up  from  the viewpoint of a person.  We  won't  call  it
anything technical, but it just messes him up most. Time messes  him  up
the  most. And we get these two things in combination, of course, we get
a lie about time, and we're off to the races.
   
   Well,  having  recognized  this situation,  I  looked  it  over  very
carefully.  We  have the GPMs, and we have things of  this  nature,  and
looked  those  over, and then I said to myself, I said,  "Well  now,"  I
said, "Ronnie, if you've gotten this far, this sort of thing, let's just
take  a  look  at this now. You suppose some peculiarly and particularly
brilliant blankety-blank somewhere on the track has also discovered this
and used it to aberrate? Ah well, if that's the case, then there must be
such  a thing as false time track, complete with times. Let's see if  we
can find some." And I found some.
   
   Give  somebody a false past. Implant him with a false past,  complete
with  pictures, complete with times, and times in the order of magnitude
of  the thetan's actual existence - trillions and trillions of years. We
could also give him some weird and incomprehensible dates. That'd  be  a
little fillip on the thing, you know; that would be some way tn throw  a
new  curve into it. Give him one thousand and sixty-nine times  trillion
to  the  tenth. Let him chew on that for a while. And he never can  find
out what date that is.
   
   And  you would effectually have blocked out the past by making it  so
confusing to be entered, and so dreary and so terrible and so awful that
nobody would want to have anything to do with it. Now, nobody ever would
spend  any time enhancing the powers of the thetan, unless he  was  more
diabolical  than is believable. But they'd certainly tend to  make  them
derogatory. They'd make the life as a thetan seem very, very  dangerous,
very  unpleasant.  Because look! Look at the horrible thing's  that  can
happen to you. And therefore, if all these horrible things can happen to
you, why, then of course, you don't want to have anything to do with it.
   
   And  you  could  get a guy fixed up with sufficient number  of  false
pasts,  that  he'd  even dramatize a false past. He'd become  a  fiction
writer  or something like that. He'd even, he'd even automatically  give
you  a  false story of his past, don't you see? He could get quite loopy
on  this  subject,  if he were driven in with enough  explosion,  enough
bang,  and so on. And if the incident itself were hung up with a  double
explosion,  you  know, left-right bang-bang, sort of a  double  RI  <GPM
Reliabile  Item> of the thing, you see? Plus and minus RI of the  thing;
hang it up on the track real good.
   
   And  just  give  him a good, long time track. Let's give  him,  let's
give  him  a  few trillion years to chew on, or a few trillion  trillion
years  to chew on. And let's give him some incident on that track. Let's
give him a nice history that goes along with that track. Let's give  him
pictures. Let's even give him some times when he's been implanted.
   
   Of  course,  we couldn't give him much of an implant,  but  we  could
give  him  a  clue that he might have been implanted at this point.  You
know,  let a couple of the pictures leak out, looks like they're implant
pictures.  That'd  sort  of keep him tacking that  point  of  the  line,
wouldn't it?
   
   And  by  giving him ennugh false track, and maybe giving him four  or
five  or six false tracks, he would rapidly get of the opinion that  the
one thing he shouldn't do is to return on the time track. Because if  he
does it is far too painful and confusing.
   
   And  you'd have him saying at last, in self-defense, "I've only lived
but once." Yes, that is one of the tricks that has been pulled. Now, you
say,  "a  false  past". That's good terminolqgy, by the way.  Find  some
auditors may trip, it around on their tongue, but you can learn  how  to
say  it.  "A  false past" is better than "phony pictures," or  something
like  that. In discussing this with a pc, you say "a false past."  Well,
he understands this.
   
   And  R3R is good enough to be able to find a moment when a false past
was  installed, date it and get its duration. Really takes  some  doing.
Now,  having dated it and gotten its duration, to actually run  it  out.
Now  the  incident pretends, let us say, to be many trillions  of  years
long.  And the actual duration of it is seldom more than three  or  four
hours. So you get the appearance of enormous durations, and you get  the
appearance  of tiny durations. You know, two or three hour duration,  or
eighty billion trillion squillion, to the nth tex boonk, see, years.
   
   You'll  get two durations on the thing, some vast duration  and  some
little  duration. And the incident can be run out. But don't get mad  at
the  pc  if he keeps stepping in the mud, you know, and finding  himself
going  to  the beginning of the incident, and wondering whether  or  not
he's saw it.
   
   Now,  these  incidents have as a common denominator, these  incidents
have as a common denominator, and the very few of them I have, the few I
have seen, I expect there are other kinds. I have seen some of them  and
they are confused to this degree: The point where you approached and the
moment  when you approached is quite commonly repeated in the  incident.
So  you  walked up a set of steps to get there, so you now have a  visio
that  looks like you're wlaking up a set of steps IN the incident.  Same
set  of  steps. So you've got two walkings up the steps. One is  in  the
incident, one is the actual one.
   
   And  there'll  be  two departures. There's the actual  departure,  in
which  one  was usually anaten and didn't know whether he was  going  or
coming,  and  the picture of his departure. And thetan-wise,  of  course
it'd  be a picture of exteriorizing from the area; it's getting  dim  in
the distance.
   
   In  other words, there are two beginnings and two endings on such  an
incident. Now, they also occasionally have a mechanism that shows troops
marching  away and troops marching to you. This is how they  communicate
the  beginning  and end of things. The beginning of things,  of  course,
troops  marching  to you. The end of things, troops marching  away  from
you.  And  these incidents usually start with the troops  marching  away
from  you  and end with the troops marching to you. This was the  common
action.  I mean, that set of pictures was therapy, at one time,  and  is
used consistently in therapy, so they copied this therapy device in this
other  action. Only in therapy they show you the beginning of  something
by,  I think, the troops marching to you, and in the end, they show  you
the end of thing, about the troops marching away from you.
   
   Sometimes they're sailors. Sometimes they're sailors in pompon  hats.
Sometimes  they're people who look like West Point cadets.  But,  you'll
see these two marchings connected with it sometimes in these incidents.
   
   So  knowing these things you actually can find beginnings and ends of
it.  But  it's  very confusing, of course, because the couple  of  hours
there  that aren't taken up give you a whole time track. They  give  you
some  catastrophic accident that happened to you, you see, and then  you
remained  dormant  for a long time, and things were very  mean,  and  so
forth.
   
   Well,  the  way  you can tell false track is it really doesn't  move.
You've  got  motion to such a limited degree that it doesn't  make  very
much sense. Let me show you what I mean.
   
   As  you  walk  in this - that door back there, you see the  front  of
this  room,  don't you? When you turn around you see some  more  of  the
room, don't you? And when you sit down, you see some more of the room in
front of you, but from a different viewpoint and level, right? And  then
when  you look down, you have a scanned area of passing your eyes  down,
toward  a book or a meter or something like that, you see? And you  have
the   continuous  sound  channel  that  goes  all  the  way  along  that
accompanies this, any sound in the room is continuous. Well, that  is  a
proper sequence, very proper sequence.
   
   Well,  false  track never looks like that. They've not got  the  time
for  it,  don't you see? They're crowding all this thing. So you  get  a
picture, if the picture is in motion, and they can be, you get a picture
of the front door, then you get a picture of the front of the room, then
you  get a picture of the book in front of you, see? And they seldom add
the  sound  that goes with it. Many a pc who doesn't think  he  has  any
sonic  is  simply  running false-track incidents where  there  is  none.
Diabolical, isn't it? Makes you go wog just to think about it.
   
   Now,  coupled with this is the fact that there is actual  track.  You
have  actual  track.  And this track, of course, is more  sequitur,  but
again  can be in segmental pictures if there's points of anaten.  You'll
get  the pictures right up to the point where you knocked yourself  out,
see? And then you'll pick up pictures after this point. You don't have a
complete series of pictures, but they don't go chop, chop, chop. Let  me
give you a, let me give you an actual one.
   
   Thetan  is lying on the ground. Airplane comes overhead. Thetan  sees
airplane come overhead. It just sort of moves into view. Airplane  falls
apart.  We stand up and take a look. But that's simply a picture of  the
parts of the airplane falling, you see? And then airplane parts are  all
over  the  ground,  only  they're plastic  parts.  It's  not  a  wrecked
airplane, see? We just get jump-jump-jump-jump. See? It's something like
the movie director would cut when he was making a documentary. You know,
typical  modern  documentary.  Children starving  in  Armenia.  Children
starving  in Egypt. Children starving in Washington. Children  starving.
See?  You know, cut-cut-cut-cut-cut-cut. This is typical of one of these
false incidents.
   
   Now,  why does the thetan look at the false incident? Why is he  more
likely to be on false incident than he is on true incident? Well,  false
incident  is  safe. There's no bite to the stuff. There's a  hell  of  a
bang. Now, don't think it isn't aberrative to get one of these bangs, at
the  beginnings and ends and the somatics that went with  it.  But  once
you've  got  those somatics under control, it's much easier to  look  at
false  track than it is - just like you'd rather - a lot of people would
rather  look at a movie of life than live, see? See, it's safe,  because
one really never lived it.
   
   They're  usually  a derogatory or unhappy state of  affairs  of  some
kind  or  another. And they're often quite - they're not  well  plotted.
There isn't anything very good about it. It's messy. But in running  the
incident  out, of course the false track is part of the incident  you're
running out, right? So the pc in running these two and a half hours gets
the  sensation of running several million trillion years of track,  very
often, except it doesn't take that long to do it.
   
   Only  he would gasp, if he thought he was having to scan through many
trillions  of years of track. This would just fill him with "Uhhhhh  Oh,
no!" you see? The time factor is too great. When he really thinks of the
number  of pictures there could be on just one trillion years of  track,
you see? He'll say, "Well, am I going to be here the rest of the night?"
You  know?  This  is the idea he gets in session. Well, the  longest  it
could take if it were one for one would be a couple of hours.
   
   Anyway,  the somatics being wrong, and the scenery being  wrong,  and
the character of the scenery being wrong, the whole thing is therefore a
lie.  This  is a lie about time. It tells him where he has  been,  when.
When  he wasn't there. It puts trillions of years into two hours.  There
couldn't be a fancier lie about time.
   
   Now  they  very  often  have wheels running over  to  the  side  with
numbers  on them. So you can get all the dates you want on the  side  of
the  picture. Sound familiar? But a thetan also can do this. He also can
visualize numbers to give himself "years ago" and that sort of thing.
   
   Now, the one thing you can be absolutely sure of - one thing you  can
be  absolutely sure of, with false - with - on a question of false track
and  dates on false track, and that sort of thing, is that there are  no
GPMs that I know of. There might be signs of them implanted on the false
track,  but  no actual, runnable GPM could possibly be on a  false-track
implant basis. That would just be totally pointless.
   
   In  the first place, you can't, on a false-track gag, get a guy to go
over the top of the Ferris wheel several times with the full kinesthesia
and  motion, don't you see, and have him struck from both sides with all
kinds  of firings and that sort of thing. So you know, you know that  if
you're running a GPM, that you're not on false track. Otherwise, beware.
   
   Now,  it  would be adventurous to say that you know you  are  not  on
false  track if vou are runninp this lifetime. I'm afraid that'd  be  an
adventurous statement, however, because I've seen some false track  with
brownstone houses on it that I could never account for in this lifetime.
   
   Now,  many  a  pc,  many a pc starts to recover his  sanity  by  just
getting  him to run, entering the room. See, he can verify that that  is
the  picture. He walks in the room and sits down in the chair, and  then
you  have  him  close his eyes, and he walk - he runs  the  incident  of
walking  in  the room and going and sitting down in the  chair.  Now  he
knows  that's  his picture, and he knows that is present  time,  and  he
knows it isn't an implant; makes him feel pretty comfortable. Kind of  a
weird,  a  weird operation. But don't discount it as its value  in  this
sort  of  thing.  Because of course, a total swamp of a  memory  is  the
target of this, and a desire not to go back into the past, these are the
immediate fruits of it.
   
   Now,  let's  look at actual track. What about actual track?  Can  you
also find actual track? Oh yeah, that's pretty easy to find. It's pretty
easy  to find. GPMs are very easy to find. The dates of GPMs, this  sort
of  thing.  That's  all perfectly accurate, don't you  see?  But  you're
always  walking  there with the possibility that you've got  some  false
track  may  turn up on this pc. So there's two things you want  to  know
when  you're  -  when you find an incident and date it. Two  things  you
really want to know is one, does it contain opposite firing items?  Like
-  that  is  to say, is it a GPM? And the other thing you want  to  know
about it, does it contain false track?
   
   Not,  does  it  contain  any  pictures?  This  very  often  will  not
register.  When I say, "false track" I'm using a term that we would  use
but not necessarily on a pc. Better to say, "false past" Does it contain
any  flse past? Because all these picture implants have the ambition  of
teaching somebody a false past.
   
   Now,  you need all this data. You need all this data, as discouraging
and  as upsetting and as miserable and as disheartening as it is. And  I
know  you  will  go  home  tonight and lie down and  say,  "God,  that's
terrible. Oooh! Aaaah! Are my pictures real? Am I really real?" Remember
the  old lady that the robbers caught, and cut her clothes up, and  when
she finally got home her dog barked at her, and nobody knew her, and she
finally  decided when she sat down, "Can this really be me?"  you  know?
She herself didn't know her after a while.
   
   Well,  there's  no particular reason to get in that state,  and  it's
perfectly all right if you do, because it's simply a restimulated state.
And the cure of the state is, when dating, just make sure that you don't
have any GPMs in it, or if you do, maybe you're looking for GPMs.
   
   That's  -  none  of  the  - neither of these things  debar  you  from
running the engram. But let's just make sure we know what we're running.
You scan somebody through a GPM, and you're going to go blang-bang-bang,
and he's going to stir it all up, but he can't see the pictures, and you
don't  know what's going on. It's much easier to just - not move him  to
the  beginning of the incident but move him to the first pair of  items.
And you don't move anybody anyhow. You just say, "Give me the first pair
of items in that GPM," see, after you've - if you want to establish what
it is, you haven't got a pattern, it's off-date, and that sort of thing,
just what are the first pair of items? He'll give you something. Work it
out. Muddle through.
   
   When  you've  got it all straight, why you can scan him  through  the
whole  incident. It's perfectly all right if you do that, also.  But  on
false  track, what it tells you is be very very alert to getting a wrong
date  for the incident, and a wrong duration. Because any incident which
contains false track is of very short duration.
   
   How long does it take to give somebody a feature length picture in 3-
D  with  complete  somatics hitting him in the breadbasket,  of  several
trillion  years?  If  you  only give him a few pictures  of  each?  See?
Doesn't take very long. Well, that's the criteria.
   
   Now  the  Darwinian  theory - now, I'll give you  some  idea  of  the
influence of false track upon this society. The Darwinian theory,  which
probably  influenced Pavlov to the greatest degree, is just an  implant.
That  is an implant from man to mud. And it starts out oddly enough with
the goal, "to persist."
   
   Starts  with  the  goal  "to persist," which I  consider  very,  very
interesting, because there's not another item in it. There  isn't  even,
"not persist." There, you see, they didn't have the word, you know? They
didn't have a doublefiring item.
   
   And  then they show you your arrival, which you... See, actually they
have you in a cell for a while, so they show you being in the cell,  and
then  show you arriving in the room to be implanted. Got that? So you've
actually - if you were conscious when you went in the room, it -  you've
got  now  two arrivals in the same room, see? And then they show  you  -
complete with pictures, not unlike a modern motion-picture screen,  they
show  you  all  that has happened to you, very briefly;  they  give  you
background  on  how  mean  you  are, and  then  they  show  you  getting
implanted.
   
   And  actually  the  implantation takes  place  -  the  picture  never
touches  the  pc, I mean, never touches the person being implanted,  but
simply  stacks  mass around his body. All the time he's looking  at  the
picture  he's  having hell knocked out of him many feet  away  from  the
picture by electronic mass stacking around his body. See, he's being hit
with  waves  around his body, you see? So he - this mass gets associated
with the - you know, it holds it in the picture, and so forth. And there
isn't another thing said. There's not one word said.
   
   And  one  of the things you've got to be careful of in running  false
past  is getting the pc all mixed up with giving you a fantastic  number
of items, or something like this. You understand? But in this particular
Darwinian  one, nothing is said. You occasionally do get something  said
in  one of these things; you do sometimes get sonic in these false  past
lives, or you get conversation or you get this, or you get that.
   
   But  beware,  beware  of  running things in  incidents  which  aren't
there.  It's  almost more deadly than missing things  which  are  there.
Don't  overrun  these incidents. You know, you can take a  GPM  and  you
could  just pull conversation out of it by the hour. Did you know  that?
And every item is wrong.
   
   Did  you realize that? The guy is sitting there in the middle of  the
GPM  and  you don't know what the goal is, and you don't even know  that
it's  this type of GPM - you might have landed by accident in the middle
of  the Helatrobus Implants, or somethinp_of the sort. Maybe the goal is
"to  leave." And he just gives you item after item of goodbye, farewell,
adios,  you  know? And you know, he just gives you item  after  item  of
goodbyes and farewells--it's just the goal "to leave."
   
   It's  just  "leave," "nix leave," "absolutably,"  see,  "left,"  "not
left"  or  "nix  left," "absolutably." You know? He's giving  you  wrong
items.  And  you'll pay the penalty for getting wrong  items  sooner  or
later  -  the  whole incident tends to fold up. If you want  to  see  an
incident get crunchy, get a wrong date, a wrong duration, or run  things
out of it that aren't in it. So this is a point that you have to watch.
   
   Now,  this  incident - this incident, now with a wheel dating  device
which gives you a series of numbers that gives you - gives you the  time
of   these  events,  shows  you  being  implanted,  shows  you  finished
implanting,  shows you leaving - being pushed out of the  implant  room,
even  shows you a couple of your fellow crew members, or something  like
that,  there, who are tied up ready to be put into the room,  shows  you
being  put aboard a spaceship, shows you being taken to another  planet,
shows you being dumped in the sea, and shows you start from the sea  and
become  seaweed and become this - and to work up stage by stage - giving
the  millions of years which elapse on each step, see? And you go on and
on  up  the  line,  each step, each step, each step on  an  evolutionary
channel, and you run all the way through on these evolutionary channels.
A lot of this stuff starts looking awfully 3-D after you've been looking
at  them for a while, and shows you eventually arriving at the state  of
being  a  man. See? Gives you a bit more louse-up in the way of pictures
ending, pictures beginning, something of this sort.
   
   And  then  they  push you out through that exact corridor,  past  the
exact  two dummies that are tied up, to the exact spaceship, put you  in
the  exact capsule, drop you into that exact sea, and expect you to make
some  seaweed and go on up the beach. We were fooled only to the  degree
of  some of the incidents of What to Audit <History of Man> are actually
out of that. Some of the incidents of What to Audit are actual, some are
out of that Darwinian implant, see?
   
   Now,  that's  very interesting, to recognize how they  can  make  you
live  your life twice. Because that one pretends to go into the  future,
not  into  the past. Gorgeous louse-up, see? I know, I caught this  with
myself, but after they dumped me down at the bottom of the sea,  I  said
"Ho-hum, skip it", and went over and picked up a young fisherman's baby,
and  so  forth, and hung around there for a while, catching  my  Breath.
Didn't bother to go through all this, seemed pointless.
   
   But,  the  idea - that's very finite. That's a very short  time  ago.
That's  only a couple of hundred million years ago. A lot of  characters
around  here got this, most of them become scientists. That actually  is
the  sole foundation of the Darwinian theory. That's the lot. Evolution:
there's no such thing.
   
   Bodies  don't  evolve. They deteriorate, but they don't  evolve.  You
can trace all kinds of reasons how they evolve, and why they evolve, and
you  can figure it all out, but the truth of the matter is when you  get
horses  on a planet, somebody came along and mocked up some horses!  Now
they also mocked up these horses with the capability of growing hair  or
not  growing  hair.  You've got adjustment factors,  but  not  evolution
factors.  So  you  confuse the adjustment factors and  prove  the  whole
theory  of  evolution. And now you know man came from mud, and  you  can
write  a book like Pavlov and get the whole world poisoned. You see  how
this one goes?
   
   All  of  this is based on what? It's based on errors in time.  Errors
in  time.  Because an individual has this incident: It's a  wrong  time,
wrong  place, going wrong wrong the whole way, and it took up two  hours
and  actually looks like it takes up seven million, see? There are  such
incidents.
   
   Just  before the Helatrobus Implants they were practicing these. Just
before  the Helatrobus Implants, you're liable to pick one up on  a  pc,
within  the  few  hundred  billion years  earlier  than  the  Helatrobus
Implants,  or perhaps even after the Helatrobus Implants, you're  liable
to  pick  up one of these false-track incidents. So they last -  they're
liabIe to be found almost any place.
   
   Now,  if you know that these things exist you can whip it. See,  it's
all in what you - what you know exists.
   
   When  you first collide with one, you're going to be "Gee-whiz!"  you
know,  and you're going to be much more nervous than you need to be.  If
you know there is such a thing as a false-past incident and you check up
for these things, at the risk of invalidating the pc's actual track, you
get yourself sailing along there, and you got this incident, and it's at
forty-four trillion years ago, perfectly valid date, you see?
   
   The  reason  I'm talking to you so strenuously about this  is  you're
just  about to be correcting somebody's dates. As a matter of  fact  you
were at it today. You start correcting the dates of incidents and you're
going  to  run into this other Phenomenon. It's going to drive you  mad,
man,  if  you don't know it exists. You can't correct dates  on  a  case
unless you know this other phenomena exists, because it's full of  false
dates, see?
   
   Pc  and you could work at it, correcting false dates - I don't  know,
another  couple  of  hundred hours, all out of  one  two-and-a-half-hour
incidents.  The  thing to do is to, when you start correcting  dates  of
incidents  the  first  thing you should look for  is  an  incident  that
contains a false past. Not an incident contains flse dates. Don't  worry
about false dates so much. You just want false past.
   
   But,  remember  that  it  can also contain a false  future.  So  that
mustn't  be totally dismissed as a possibility. Fortunetellers  practice
that to this day; it's very popular, false futures. They get you sitting
over  the crystal ball, you know, and they say, "I see a dark man coming
into your life. And he'll be six feet tall if you give me two bucks, and
he'll  only be five foot eight, if you don't give me..." They're  tailor
making future. And most fortunes depend on the fact that pcs have future
implants that they dramatize, and tend to dramatize. They want to always
know  about  the  future.  They're  really  not  nervous,  they're  just
dramatizing an implant.
   
   You  must  ask  for false past. That'll give you the most  loused-up,
because  future  doesn't, too often, contain dates. But also  check  for
false futures - an incident about false futures. And between the two  of
these  things, why, you're all set. False present, well, everybody knows
it's false anyway.
   
   The  task  is  not  a  very difficult one, providing  you  know  this
information. As far as GPMs are concerned, you go back on the  track  on
GPMs, and you got GPMs at eighteen trillion, trillion years ago, and ha-
ha,  they  start banging you in the head and firing left and right,  and
you're  going over the rolly coaster, and you're doing this  and  you're
doing  that.  Yes,  there's always the possibility  there  could  be  an
implant that also refers to this GPM, but that cannot be done.
   
   What  type of equipment is used now, in order to implant false dates,
and  so on? It's usually quite - it's quite varied, but it really  never
moves off the basis of something you look into or something you look at,
attended by electronic blasts. And that's the common denominator of  all
such equipment.
   
   In  other words, you can have a room, and the person is put on a bed,
and the screen and so on, is at a diagonal up in front of them or at the
other  end of the room, and it shows a three-dimensional view of  events
or  something like that. Meantime the person is being hit with this  and
that.  It  could be as simple as some kind of a scope that has  a  movie
running in the back of it, you put your face or your face is put  up  to
this  scope  and anchored there with some electric blasts, and  at  this
close  range, why, the thing runs off at a mad rate, and there it  goes,
with appropriate jolts in the right places.
   
   It  could  also be, it could also be a full set which is lugubriously
-  and this is earlier track when they didn't mind mass so much. If  you
find  any  back there they probably have full sets connected with  them.
They move them like a stage set. One of the trick ways of building these
things, you take these two crayons here, you notice that it - that  they
are  not  a consecutive line if I hold them like this. And if  you  pull
them  down  like this, they look like they're a consecutive line,  don't
you see? But there's a hole between the two of them. So the set moves up
and then goes this way around the person. You understand? If a person is
anchored there on a stake, or something like this, you see, when they  -
when  the  set  moves then, why, they just jog the set.  And  he  passes
through this slit, which he can't see.
   
   Looks  very  mysterious  to him. He's in one environment,  total  3-D
environment, he's in the next environment, total 3-D environment.  After
his  sonic  and visio picks up a little bit, however, he  can  hear  the
scene shift. They really make a lot of noise. And that type of thing, by
the  way,  is used in some very early implant serieses types of pictures
of this kind.
   
   The  Helatrobus,  the Bear and Gorilla and Glade  Implants,  none  of
them  use  pictures. They sometimes - there's only - the only picture  I
know  of  used in the Helatrobus Implants is on a railroad on which  you
travel sideways at a vast rate of speed. And when you meet the railroad,
when  you  come down to the railroad, you'll see that there's a  section
house  right at the point where you're put on the track. There's a house
there,  see?  And then as you move down the track, a board  goes  up  in
front  of you, and it's the same section house. So actually you're moved
at  sixiy miles an hour sideways with the same section house sitting  in
front of you. And this is supposed to confuse you enormously. But almost
any  thetan, no matter how anaten he is, can see that it's just a  board
shoved up in front of him.
   
   In  the Gorilla and Bear GPMs, and so on, they do put a figure on the
cart  with  the thetan. They've - there's a guy in a pink shirt  with  a
monkey  peeking out from behind him, put on the ride carts. A guy  in  a
pink-striped  shirt - very, very interesting. That's their  -  that  was
their  badge,  the  hoi poiloi. And you'll see this bird  with  a  pink-
striped  shirt. Sometimes you have a gorilla in front of you.  Sometimes
it's the gorilla who is spitting things at you, and that sort of thing.
   
   They  use figures. But this is not the same thing I'm talking  about.
Don't  think you're mixed up in one of these things just because  in  an
implant,  why, somebody jumps up with a picture, see, or something  like
that  that's  just a momentary picture. This is not the same  intention.
That's  just to get you to make pictures, or louse up your pictures,  or
something  like that. No, we're talking about another type of  incident,
another  type  of  incident entirely, where you're hit  with  electronic
blasts,  at  the  same time you're hit with a series of pictures,  which
purport to be a past or a future for the individual.
   
   And  when you run into that one, when you run into that one, why,  if
you  don't  recognize that these things can exist, why, you've  had  it.
Now,  this  also gets in the road of running an actual incident.  You've
got  an actua planet-builder incident, and it looks pretty wild to  you.
And  it  doesn't look like the pc could possibly have done  it,  and  so
forth. And you date it, and it's got a perfectly right date, and so  on.
And  you've got no read of any kind on false pasts or anything  of  this
character, and yet there's that picture and it seems very incredible  to
you  that the pc could be running this at that particular level or line,
and  that sort of thing. You can get tangled up on this, but just  don't
forget  to run the incident. Get tangled up all you please, but run  the
incident.  If it's a right incident, it's a right incident.  If  it's  a
wrong incident, you'll never be able to find the beginning of it.
   
   About  the most maddening activity you can get into is get  into  one
of  these false-past things, and go whirring along at a mad rate  trying
to find the beginning of the incident. Of course, you never make it. You
eventually  will  find  a  beginning of an incident,  but  it'll  be  an
incident of such fantastic magnitude that you've got yourself - Aw!  The
hell with it! You know? It could take you four, five, six sessions, just
to  try  to find the beginning of that sequence of events. Well, there's
no  sense  in  beating  your brains out. If you can't  find  easily  the
beginning  of an incident, you better get interested in whether  or  not
this thing has got a false past or a false future in it.
   
   That  all  depends of course on having your date right. Now,  how  do
you  clean up somebody, how do you clean up somebody with something like
this?  Your  approved technology at the present moment is clean  up  his
wrong dates.
   
   I'm  giving  you  this material because right now  some  of  you  are
engaged  in  running a Prepcheck on wrong dates. And it's  a  very  good
thing you are. You're getting tremendous tone arm action, you're getting
results  on  this  sort of thing, and this is all a  very  happy  thing.
Remember  this: When you start correcting dates, the first thing  you're
going  to  run into is any false-past or false-future incident that  you
have  triggered on the pc. And you're going to run into it  head-on.  So
you beware of redating. Don't redate incidents endlessly.
   
   The  first order of business is get in there and pitch on the subject
of  an incident containing a false past. And when you've got that found,
because it'll be there, when you've got that found, and when you've  got
it  run...  Don't just find it and date it and walk off,  because  look,
you're  not going to date anything else from there on except the  track,
that  is  in  it!  You  can date endlessly. You could  run  a  pc  maybe
thousands  of  hours, cleaning up this false track which  didn't  exist.
They can see it and so forth.
   
   So,  look, if you got your hands on an incident, now, here's  one  of
your rules of the game, when you've got your hands on an incident - even
though  it's hell to run and upsets the pc, and everything else, and  so
on  -  when you've got your hands on an incident which contains a  false
past or a false future, you finish that incident. You understand? Finish
it  from one end to the other. Do anything necessary to get it the  hell
off the track.
   
   The  best  way  to  handle it, of course, is with R3R.  You  just  do
standard R3R on the thing. And remember that its pretended duration will
be  in  the millions or billions or trillions or quadrillions.  And  its
actual duration is probably in the matter of hours - at the most  a  day
or two.
   
   So  I  have to give you all this data now, and it's a good thing that
it's  turned  up, because you just start correcting dates on  a  pc  and
about  the  first  thing you're going to trip into is the  phenomena  of
false  past with all its attendant false dates. And the moment  you  get
collided with one of those things you've had it. You want to do a pc  an
awful  lot  of good, however, get rid of one of them. Don't mistake  me,
they're  hell  to  get rid of. You take the pc to the beginning  of  the
incident,  and  he  goes  to the beginning of  the  incident.  Only  the
beginning of the incident is also inside the incident, as well as at the
beginning of the incident. You get the idea?
   
   He  finishes up - he finishes up the incident, he leaves the incident
at the point where it says he left the incident, but that's a picture of
his  leaving  the  incident, and you haven't run  out  his  leaving  the
incident, you got the idea? These things usually have a minimum  of  two
beginnings, identical, and two ends, identical. If you know  that,  why,
you  can sometimes pull the fat out of the fire. This thing - you  don't
do  anything with it, unless it starts running badly. If it runs  badly,
why  re-duration the actual incident itself, and square it  around,  and
just  do  a routine, workmanlike auditing job. It doesn't need  anything
extraordinary about this thing. The pc will eventually plow  on  through
it.  All you need is very standard auditing. Very standard R3R, just its
usual steps.
   
   You  get  into  a  fight with the pc about the thing,  however,  it's
always  perfectly kosher to tip him off and say, "Well,  are  there  two
beginnings?"  Ask  on  the  meter, "Are there  two  beginnings  to  this
incident?"  Pang!  Pang! Well, you know you got a false  past  incident,
see?  "There  are  two  endings? The reason you're having  trouble  with
reaching  the  end  of  the  incident, are there  two  endings  to  this
incident?" Pang! Pang! "Yeah, you got your two endings on the end of the
incident."
   
   Pc  says,  "Huh! There are!" As well as another beginning and  ending
of the incident that merely says it begins and ends at this point, which
is  inside  the  point  when  it  really begins  and  ends.  Talk  about
confusion.
   
   These  things are confusing to handle. But standard processing, right
as of this minute, handles them. And you're going to run into them head-
on,  the instant that you start correcting anybody's dates. It's one  of
the  first things that'll raise its hand, and elect to fall in your  lap
as an auditor, is one of these incidents.
   
   Well,  what  if  you're - what if you're in X Unit, and  you've  been
ordered  to  do a Prepcheck on wrong dates on the pc, and so forth,  and
the pc starts sliding all over the track, and you're not supposed to  do
anything but correct that? Let me tell you the wrong thing to do. Let me
tell  you  the wrong thing to do: Get your hands on one of these  false-
past  or  false-future  incidents that's full of  dates,  get  it  dated
precisely  and then walk off and leave it and try to do something  else.
You're not going to get anything else done. I can tell you that's wrong.
I  won't tell you what else to do, because I'll probably contradict  the
orders your Instructors will be giving you. But I can tell you what  not
to do. Don't walk off and leave it.
   
   Because  you  have  run into, restimulated and excited  thousands  of
dates. Hundreds or thousands of dates have been excited, just like that.
And  if  somebody didn't have that pc's auditor's report,  and  that  pc
ceased to be audited in some way, somebody would be wading through  that
for a long time trying to find the actual incident again.
   
   One  of  the  rules of auditing, one of the little  rules  that  goes
along  with: don't talk to people who are unconscious, you know - around
people  who are unconscious, and don't - and all aberration  is  at  the
bottom  of  the aberration a lie; a lie causes aberration -  along  with
that  is  the fact that when you got your paws on something, you  handle
it.  That's  a maxim that I go by in my own auditing. When I  find  that
lying  under the needle of my E-Meter is something that's bothering  the
living daylights out of the pc, not because he put it there, but because
it arrived there in the course of auditing, I handle it.
   
   I  don't expect the pc to go on struggling with this thing as  a  PTP
while I do something else because "I'm supposed to." When I get my hands
on  something  in a case, I handle it. You understand? It  makes  for  a
little - much less trouble with a case. You get your hands on something,
your - this thing is going crash! on wrong dates, crash! on wrong dates.
Well,  rrrr  What the hell! You got the pc right there on  wrong  dates;
what  are you going to do now? Are you going to skip that? You see? Walk
off  and  leave it? Well, you know it's top-level stuff. How come  wrong
dates?  What  are these wrong dates all about? Let's deal up  a  few  of
these  wrong dates. Let's find out what this wrong date thing is. You're
unfortunately liable to find yourself in a process you're not  permitted
to run.
   
   Just  remember  this. If you louse up your pc - well, I  always  make
sure  that  you get two thousand words! <Ed. note: in this time  period,
students  had  to write an essay after goofing a session>  And  remember
this:  I  never  ask how it was done. That's good enough, see?  Somebody
loused  up a pc, why, bang. I'm very interested at that point. He loused
up  the  pc.  I'm  not  interested if he loused up the  pc  because  the
Instructor said, or because he did, or because the bulletin said, or the
this  said or the that said, or something else said; I'm just interested
in  that he loused up the pc, see? I have a very short-circuited view of
the whole thing.
   
   Because auditing is auditing. You're supposed to do auditing.  I  can
lay  you down thousands of rules on the subject of auditing. I can guide
your  footsteps very directly. I can give you information on the subject
of auditing. I can do everything else. But I can't sit in that chair and
audit your pc. You understand?
   
   And  auditing,  from  my  point  of  view,  is  supposed  to  produce
beneficial  results  on  a  pc.  That's my narrow-minded  attitude.  You
understand?  So  that here's the - here's the pc - here's  the  pc,  and
we're  supposed to produce good results on the pc. Well,  if  you  don't
know how to do this or how to do that or something else, I can show  you
how  to  do  this or how to do that. Well, you can't ever tell  what  is
going to come up in this case. When it's going to come up. You're not  -
you can't tell.
   
   Now,  when  you're  auditing a pc, when you're auditing  a  pc,  very
often  a pc comes into session in no fit shape to go on with what you're
running  on  the pc. It's very heroic of you to try to keep  on  running
what  he's  on,  but  remember  that you can  sometimes  not  accomplish
anything by doing just this. You sometimes have to handle the pc,  right
there in front of you.
   
   Now,  similarly,  you  innocently set forward  to  do  a  fundamental
action  on  a case, like straighten out his dates. And you suddenly  see
yourself  staring  down the barrel of the incident responsible  for  the
wrong dates.
   
   Now,  remember,  there's your big auditing cycle. Your  big  auditing
cycle  is to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish with the  case.
And you better figure out what you're trying to accomplish with the case
that  you're auditing. In this case you're trying to straighten out  the
pc's dates, right? All right, that's your big auditing cycle, right? All
right.  So, you're trying to straighten out the pc's dates. Now, if  you
go  ahead  and handle his lumbosis, God help you, see. I mean  that  has
nothing to do with it. You're trying to straighten out his dates. That's
a Q and A or a mess-up, see?
   
   You're trying to straighten out the big auditing cycle on this  pc  -
we're going to get the wrong dates off this case - and suddenly you  are
presented with something which is outside the perimeter of the permitted
process, or something like that. What do you do with it? I can tell  you
what NOT to do with it. Neglect it. Now that's what you must not do with
it.  Because you very often can't get your paws on it again. You've made
a big problem for somebody else.
   
   You  can't straight - when you - listen: When you've found the source
of  the  pc's  upset, what other source is there to find? See?  You  got
that?  So  if you're supposed to be running, "Which ruddy rod  have  you
stuck  between your ears?" and you all of a sudden find yourself staring
at  the source of his upset about ruddy rods, I can tell you how not  to
help  the pc: Ignore the fact that you have found the source of it. This
results  in  an  invalidation of the source, and  nothing  happens.  You
understand?
   
   You  have to ask yourself, why are you running this thing about  rudy
rods  between  the  ears?  That's the big  auditing  cycle.  Don't  ever
subordinate  your  big auditing cycle to the minor auditing  cycle.  You
understand? See, there's your big auditing cycle, and then there's  your
process  auditing cycle - you're supposed to flatten this process,  see?
But your big one is what you're trying to - intend with the pc. And then
you're - what process you're running on the pc, and then you've got your
other auditing cycle, which is your repetitive give and take of auditing
commands, don't you see?
   
   All  right, the second that you - some auditors can just get on  this
give  and take of auditing commands and neglect even the process they're
trying  to flatten, see? And some, running the process they're  supposed
to  flatten,  actually can run into the denouement of the  big  auditing
cycle.  That's  the end, see? The big auditing cycle - they've  collided
with the thing.
   
   This  person  has  been  terrified of ghosts. This  person  has  been
terrified  of  this particular subject. Every time they  go  to  bed  at
night,  why, they won't turn out the lights. You see? They've been  this
way  since  childhood,  or something of this character.  And  all  of  a
sudden,  you're  running  this process of somekind  or  another,  you're
straightening  out something, and the big auditing cycle  turns  up  and
drops  into your paws. See? They say, "No! Not really! I'm a ghost!  Ha-
ha!  Me! Ha-ha-ha! What do you know! I've always been afraid of myself."
Now, what are you going to do from this on? What, are you going to be  a
complete  knucklehead? Going to be a complete jackass? Having found  the
source, now you're going to try to do what? I'm just bringing it to your
attention, what else is there left to do? There isn't anything else left
to do.
   
   Somebody  cognites his chain level - his level item  assessment  out.
"Say!  What do you know! It's a so-and-so and it's a th-lul, and it's  a
du-du-ddl,  and fa-dt-d-d-dt! And, ha, well, ha-ha! What  do  you  know!
That's in the bag! That's why that level operated!"
   
   <Ed  note: At this time, R3R was started by assessing for a level  on
the  pre-have  scale  and  then handling the level  by  errasing  engram
chains>
   
   And  you  say the level. You say the level, "be leery of cats."  Tone
arm  is down. Now, what are you going to do? Flatten the chain? You have
to  ask yourself this question. What chain? What chain are you going  to
flatten? Where? It now isn't! That is known as your big auditing  cycle.
That's what you're intending to do with the person.
   
   If  you  don't know that, I can see you someday auditing a person  up
to  OT,  and  they  arrive at the point of OT. And you get  very  upset,
because  you  haven't completed your auditing cycle! You understand?  So
that's  present  in  all  auditing.  Having  found  the  source  of  the
aberration  in  wrong  dates, what you going to  do?  Look  for  another
source?
   
   What  you haven't got in your mind, then, is the big auditing  cycle:
What were you intending to do with the pc? What does this process intend
to  do with this pc? Wrong dates? Well, it's supposed to straighten  out
the  pc's wrong dates, what else? And all of a sudden - you didn't  even
ask  for it, and you possibly in a lot of cases won't get it right away,
unless you're running R3R work - all of a sudden you've got your paws on
the  source  of  the pc's wrong dates! What you going  to  do?  Run  the
process, of course. What nonsense.
   
   You're  going  to  go on and say, "Give me another source  for  wrong
dates.  Give  me another source for wrong dates. Give me another  ...  "
He's  just given you the source for a wrong date, see? What - the second
that  you  say, "Give me another source for wrong dates", what  are  you
looking at? You're looking at invalidation of THE source for wrong dates
and  from that point on you have thereafter defeated your auditing.  See
that?  So  there's where it'd go. So all of a sudden this  guy  suddenly
says,  "Hey!  Hey, hey, hey! There's a bup-ut-ut-it and a zu-zuz-up  and
all  that track I thought I - uh - mmmulp!" You speak about wrong dates,
well there it is, see? What are you going to do?
   
   Now,  you make your peace with the Instructors, but remember I  count
on you to handle the pc.
   
   Thank you very much!
