HAVINGNESS, ANATEN, FLOWS IN RELATION TO CLEARING: Q&A PERIOD

You're absolutely correct. It is the fastest valence-buster there is at—there is none faster. It is a valence killer. And it's a little bit odd to me that John was on Step 6 when he had a valence lingering, see? Because Help undoubtedly had triggered this, and the Mock-up Processing he was doing then brought it into view. His auditor actually ought to check that area of Help that he was last running because there's something—something there to be seen, which he may have already overcome with the mock-ups, but same time . . .

But you're right—it's a killer. It'll even separate the valence of the machine. Remember the machine valences we used to have so much trouble with—bedposts and so on? So much so that if you wanted to get somebody off a professional nuttiness or you wanted to get him out of a psychosis where he was running an obsessive beingness, that's the process you would use. I'm very glad you mentioned that.

A painter, of course—paintings.

Male voice: Mm-hm.

A typist—typewriters. And right on down the line.

Male voice: An auditor—auditors.

Second male voice: Preclears.

Yeah, you don't know with what relief it was when I ran this particular one, to find out that auditors didn't, and weren't aberrative. I've said that before. It doesn't run—that's one of the weirdest things. It straightens up a few little things, but just—nothing.

But a cook and food. By the way, there is a stuck flow to end all stuck flows. He cooks it, he serves it; he cooks it, he serves it; he serves it; he serves it; he serves it. And you get a cook after a while, and he's on such a stuck outflow that. . . Well, as a matter of fact, I knew a ranch cook one time, that—he had an apron on that was coal black and he wore a butcher knife stuck in it. And he was an interesting cook. Cigar—short stogie, derby hat— typical. Wore his hat all the time while he was cooking. He wrecked more food—cigar like this.

I said to him the next day or so after I saw him doing that—I was just a little fellow, and I said to him, "Gee mister, I'm glad you don't chaw terbaccer!"

The following day he was chewing tobacco!

All of this stuff we've said about professions and straightening somebody out professionally and so forth, applies on this Help button. Wonderful button.

Yes?

Male voice: If you run a flow too long in one direction, you get anaten, right?

Right.

Male voice: What happens when you're running a preclear on Control Connectedness and they go very anaten ?

Yeah, well, you've got so doggone much . . . This is basically an inflow universe, and you've got so darn much flow to work on, if you're running an inflow, that an inflow will generally work out in the end as being the direction it's got to go. And there's tremendously more inflow on the case, or more "to me" on the case, than there is "from me to."

But apparently on flows, they'll get jammed up, up higher than this with outflows and inflows. Those get undone—the basic one to be undone is that. You'll find out, however, that a person should be able to outflow forever or

inflow forever. He's got ideas about the inertia of particles. He's got ideas that if he puts something out, why, he ought to get something for it.

I cured somebody of worrying about a court suit by convincing him that all of his difficulties had stemmed from trying to get something out of something. I said, "Now, the reason you're worried about this court suit is because you're trying to get something out of it."

"Yes," he says, "that's right."

I said, "Well, that's why you're worried about it." See, I wasn't auditing him, I was just coming over him—using a rule by definition.

He said, "Well, I don't see that."

And I said, "Well, have you ever tried to get anything out of anything?"

"Yes, yes. Tried to get something out of my father."

"Did you ever have any difficulties with your father?"

"Yes."

"What else have you tried to get something out of?"

"I tried to get something out of something else."

And every time I could show him—of course, it didn't follow, really—but I'd show him he'd been in trouble because of this, you see? And I finally got him convinced that he shouldn't be trying to get something out of something via a court, you know? And he decided at that time that there wasn't anything he could get out of it. He decided to go on with it, not so he could get something out of it. He was tremendously, overwhelmingly successful in the action.

Male voice: To supplement the question, would you just continue running Control Connectedness if the preclear . . .

Oh, for sure. Don't ever run "Throw it away." See, you're dealing with terminals there.

Now, when we're talking about flows, we're talking about a lower phenomena. And we've already gone downscale to a point of where it just doesn't matter. But it's just particles, it's just flows. There's no terminals involved. You try to get somebody to throw a terminal away, and you've got him in trouble at once. You see that?

Male voice: Yes.

Flow is a different set of stuff than masses.

Yes?

Female voice: I've sometimes heard that it isn't too good to go around adopting or considering reasonable Tone 20 attitudes when you're not an OT and you're not Tone 20, obviously.

Well, I don't know, if you continue to postulate something, it'll eventually materialize. Well, you'll run out all the times you have postulated it, it'll make you feel like hell, and that you keep on postulating it you'll come back up to it.

Female voice: I see.

So I suppose somebody on the downgrade of this look has found out it was pretty horrible.

Female voice: Well, on this "contribute to," why, I've heard that, you know, somebody in real good shape repairs his havingness by contributing. That sounds kind of reasonable, I mean, everything goes well. But you know, that's other people, and you're not up there, kind of.

Well, livingness isn't auditing.

Female voice: Yeah, that's true.

Truth of the matter is, the giving of something is a very high goal. You have to be in good shape to give things. If you're in good shape, you can,

HAVINGNESS, ANATEN, FLOWS IN RELATION TO CLEARING: Q&A PERIOD

without any liability at all. You should be able to. Why you want anything in the first place, I wouldn't know. This is a big—a big "poozle." I don't know what you want with anything.

I remember clearly, the most—the most wonderful ocean voyage I ever had, as I walked aboard a transport. And I think I had an extra shirt and a portable phonograph. My baggage had all been lost—every lick of it. No, I think I had an extra undershirt. That was all I had.

Midway in this very long, thirty-day voyage, one of the ladies on the thing sewed up my pants where they had come ripped. I remember the captain finally issued me a pair of sailor's ducks out of somebody's sea bag. I didn't have anything! I didn't have any money, I didn't have any clothes. Had a wonderful time—absolutely wonderful time. Landed on the China coast—I didn't have anything for a long while.

But I used to play bridge in those days. It's an old game, maybe some of you've heard of it. And always used to be able to make enough off bridge to eat.

Female voice: It wasn't a very serious question . . .

No, that's a very serious question, on the contrary.

Female voice: . . . now that I've looked at it.

Nope. Nope—it is. A person has to get into terrific condition in order to give. And as a person postulates himself—supposing you just went around postulating yourself as Tone 40, and weren't? Why isn't a person able to do this? That's an interesting mechanism. It's because he runs it out before he runs it in.

Female voice: He stops along the line, like.

No, he's long since postulated it, and then he had a tremendous number of failures, so he stopped postulating it, that he was so high-toned and so forth. So he starts postulating it, and of course this runs him into all— through all of his failures, and he'll feel like hell. Sooner or later he'll give up postulating it, won't he?

Well all right, that's just when he should have kept on. And he goes on—and he postulated long enough, you see, and acted on it often enough, he would eventually come up to just being a total postulate on the thing, you see, and he'd be all set all over again.

It's not a facetious question, nor a facetious answer. You're looking straight at the guts of what we're doing, when you're looking at that sort of thing.

And when you look at this thing of giving things away, why is it that you can't throw something away? You got a lot of things you don't want and you don't need. Throw one away sometime. You'll need it the next couple of days. (laughter)

Now, there will probably be an invitation to some of you to do a little more auditing and get this thing leveled out.

Remember, in this Unit we were merely trying to get as many to make it as we could. That was our total goal. We weren't trying to clear the whole unit. And if we'd cleared one, I would have been gratified very happily with your auditing, but you're auditing better than your cynical Instructors believed you would. My faith in you is boundless—somebody has to check it! (laughter) And I think that you'll be able to get a longer look on this, here, before the Unit is out.

How many—how many believe that it ain't possible? Come on, be honest with me. Well, there's why he's not making it. Who's auditing him?

Male voice: I'm an auditor this week, sir.

12 FEBRUARY 1958

Oh, that's a rough deal. Get a little more auditing.

Clearing up this factor is clearing up the Help factor. You see, "no cure," "no remedy," are run by "no help." You got that?

Male voice: Hm.

Hm?

Male voice: Yeah.

No cure, no remedy. Now, a person who has had too many remedies fail has to have Help beaten to pieces. Got that? I mean, that really has got to be swamped up. That's a long job. Got that? But it'll be effective because we've already taken care of this in a couple of cases. Was just wow! you know. And we finally really straightened it out. Took quite a while. Took a very expert lot of "quite-a-whileness." Funny part of it is, the more they had, the better they felt about it.

Remember now, any preclear that conies to you under protest, that is brought in by the husband or the wife or somebody, you know, and doesn't want auditing, will clear up on Help. Remember this. Got the same phenomenon being taken care of by the same button.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Audience: Thank you.

A LECTURE GIVEN ON 13 FEBRUARY 1958

Well, here we are, coming down the homestretch. I have purposely not peered over your shoulders very hard in this Unit—seeing how you'd make out all by yourselves, to some degree. And I think it's been rather successful.

This is what? February the 13 ...

Audience: Yes.

. . . AD 8. And our immediate discussion today will be other processes. Other processes.

Now, it's quite a remarkable thing to have a package of processes which attain a certain state of case. Several things of sweeping importance have occurred here in the last very short period of time with my search. One of the first of these was to discover a goal and definition which permitted one to attain some halfway point. A goal and definition of Operating Thetan permitted Clear to be reached rather easily.

Now, this was the largest single jump. That was a major breakthrough. But there were other breakthroughs of almost as great an importance. These things started to happen fast, and as they started to happen the material rolled itself up into a nice big fait accompli.

Now, one of these was this — an answer to this problem: the unwilling preclear. Now, this was also answered earlier by CCH 1—"Give me that hand" and so forth. But not to this extent. A much better answer came up to the unwilling preclear.

At the same time, the exact answer to the "destroy anybody who is good in the society" came up with it. That was quite important to us—much more important on the third dynamic, present time, than you realize.

When Bum Business Bureaus, the I Will Arise Political Society, when the Afghan Psychiatric Association and—these organizations come around and start cuffing an activity such as has been conducted here for eight years, you're looking at a sick society. Because somebody tries to give somebody a hand or to find out what it's all about so people can live better lives, they slap you around. Oh, no thank you! They must be a lot of screaming idiots.

When the power of the press is degenerated to "How many lies can we tell and how much trouble can we make?" once more we're looking at a sick society.

And to be truthful with you, it is not safe to push theta into it unless you know the exact route. Hence you've seen me going rather softly and quietly here for the last six, seven years. My motto with regard to things was: "Keep

the peace." Let's get—let's keep the show going here and keep the peace, and see if we can't make this mountain without a tremendous number of boulders being turned loose on us.

Now, that paid off. That paid off as a policy. It was a policy which actually originated in the fall of 1950. "The subject will go as far as it works" was the summation of it. It will not go as far as it has good organizations, it will not go as far as it has aesthetic publications, it will not go as far as this and as far as that; it will merely go as far as it works.

In order to make it work the support of a great many people was necessary. And that support was gratifyingly present all during those years. And I thank those people very much for that, because it would not have been possible otherwise, at all.

The idea of advancing theta into the society has gathered to itself many legends. Not to classify our activity with the Christian legend, but nevertheless to point it out as probably the most powerful and sweeping example: Somebody came along and he healed a lot of people, and they killed him. Well, it's an odd thing that the church itself has kept that to the forefront, and the largest Christian organization has carefully kept a crucifix with a naked man nailed on it in front of the public gaze ever since. An interesting thing. Interesting thing. It was a solid sort of truth, wasn't it?

Now, this particular culture at this time is especially dangerous in this regard. America, as I have said before, is obsessed with hero-killing. Anybody who has tried to help this country sweepingly over a period of time, has gotten his throat cut. That is an enviably bad record—it's a horribly bad record.

England doesn't have too many good points along this line either. But she hasn't been as sweepingly uniform as America.

Knowing all these things, I knew that sooner or later for any one of you to do anything in any community where you worked, it was necessary to have a straight arrow; anything with a via on it would not work because it'd let the other fellow draw a deep breath so that he could spit poison at you. You understand?

This, actually, was the circumstance on the third dynamic. And I'm not dramatizing—as a matter of fact I'm underplaying it. It's an understatement, if anything. But you needed something which went straight to the heart of man. And it went there so quick that nobody would be able to bark back without instantly "demising." You get the idea? It didn't only have to be a technique, it had to be a weapon. And it'd have to be so straight on the exact intention that the backflow on the line would be minimized.

In other words, a key-in of an engram is always only an approximation of the engram. The engram itself happening all over again, often enough, would eventually make a person totally familiar with these circumstances. But something which is only similar as a circumstance, each time tends to stack up a series of engrams. Do you see that? In other words, you cannot have a via.

The answer to the mind, then, on a broad third dynamic approach had to be the answer to the mind, didn't it? Horribly factual. Terribly blunt. And brutally incisive. And you have that answer with the dichotomy destroy-help; the cycle of action, create, survive, destroy, on an apparency. But that is not the cycle of action. The real cycle of action and the one that really works is, create, create-create-create, no create. And destroy is an alter-isness.

Now, destroy has another side to the coin. It has help. Where help fails, destroy ensues. You get one or the other, horribly enough.

OTHER PROCESSES, THE HELP BUTTON

And what I was talking to you about early in the course—worship, deification and so forth—is actually a lower harmonic of help. How could you help God? You could worship him. How could you help Mother? Deify her.

Unfortunately, there must have been some overwhelming occurring around there before deification set in. You see that? So we had to have somebody able to walk up through these awes, superstitions, deifications, as well as his desires of sweeping and impressive destruction, in order to get him out where he could stand in the sun.

Well, the answer to the third dynamic, the answer to dissemination, the answer to basic processing all occurred at the same time. And this was one of the more seven-league boot strides that I've been able to make.

Now, look. Never before with any great certainty could we take a preclear without his prior consent and accomplish any result with which he would be satisfied. We could do it now and then. We could talk him into it. It took some work, though, on vias.

You have a process now. Just grab a fellow by the nape of the neck, make him sit down, run him. Open the session just because you've been trained to do so, not because he'll agree to it. And that button is Help. He can't escape from running it because here's what you're doing.

Now, we used to run the reverse side of this, and this was the closest approach we had to it. "Why don't you want to be audited?" Do you remember that one? You got the guy to explain why he didn't want to be audited. In other words, you were actually getting him to as-is some help. All right.

You have a society which has been lied to by the drug companies, butchered by the medicos, dismayed by the psychiatrists, and it "knows" that there's no remedy, there's no cure. As a matter of fact, you read the Bum Business Bureau publications, the AMA publications, so forth; you'll find out that it's a criminal offense to pretend to cure some things. Well, that's fantastic for anybody to lay this many railroad ties across the rails to progress. It's quite interesting. It's as much as saying, "Well, at no time must you ever research on the basis that a cure may exist for such things as cancer and arthritis and some other things."

Of course, this doesn't apply to the drug companies. Their branch office down here, the Pure Food and Drug Administration, makes sure that they're kept solvent. They can advertise cures, no matter how specious.

But to handle this situation of a preclear who would rather be anywhere else, to audit him and make him like it, is in your grasp today. It's the Help button. You haven't realized it to the extent you will.

One of these days you're going to see this old flub that's been running around and giving you a bad time, arguing with you—one of your wife's relations or one of your husband's distant relatives or something of the sort— sneering at you. And you tried to tell him what you were doing, you know? You tried to explain this to him a time or two, and he said, "Nyaah," so forth. And you'll all of a sudden take the bit in your teeth and push him in the chest and get him in a chair, and you'll say—any part of the bracket that seems to work. Get him talking about it until you get some point of the bracket where he has a reality on help.

You could even open a session with this one: "I understand that you do not think it's a good thing to help people." Vicious, isn't it? He can't stand up to a direct arrow. He could stand up to a via.

Here's a via: "I understand that you think there's no remedies for certain illnesses." Oh, he can fight like mad on that one. But not on Help. You can say
