RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOCK-UPS

You wonder why somebody lived a whole fulsome life in Germany, and ... Of course there's—of course there's no mystery about it now. I suppose some fellow who just spent a life in Germany and was somewhere else now would have a bit of a flinch connected with it. It was a tough thing to be alive in Germany, last couple of dozen years.

But nevertheless, you'll see what you'd run into. Now we get this fellow, he's a high-school student. And he wants to take up going to the university and take up diplomatic usages or something like that—he wants to be poor-paid the rest of his life.

The best way to take up diplomatic usages is to win forward to the top of General Electric or to get to the top of General Motors or something of this sort. Then, you see, you become a diplomat at once. It's obvious, obvious why, because you don't know a damn thing about it. Perfectly willing to take total irresponsibility for the whole world.

I was fascinated the other day at the reorganization of the armed forces of the United States, which reorganization was under total review, was being advised by the person of and the committee headed by the head of General Electric. So I tried to find out if this man ever heard of a soldier's suit or knew anything about "hard right rudder" or "full speed astern" and so forth. And he was innocent enough to make all sorts of mistakes without suffering any in his conscience, you see?

And the US government was entertaining the idea of this fellow's plan, you see? Quite wonderful. So you don't want to study diplomacy if you want to get into diplomacy; you want to be something else.

But let's say you were trying to fix this young man up—he was foolish and he couldn't speak German. He had to have German. This is a problem today a Scientologist could handle. It's been hard to handle before. You could—always, it's always been in the realm of mock-up.

But the way to do it would be, "What part of the German language" or "What German word could you take responsibility for?"

And, man, you've never seen such a flinch as you would get. He would just flinch, flinch, flinch, flinch. And he'd get all sorts of bank disturbances and so forth, and finally say, "Well, ach—take responsibility for ach. But that's all!"

Naturally that is a very bad example because you're processing a thing that doesn't have any mass. Do you see that? But it would be the entrance point of the problem. Here is something sticking out into this life that wouldn't otherwise be noticed. The individual starts to study German and he runs into it with a dull thud that he can't learn German. But he feels he must learn German. But he can't learn German. But he must learn German. And here we go. And we have a fine little psychotic ridge going here.

Now, to really solve this thing, you'd have to ask him what part of Germany could he be responsible for mocking up. And that would be the solution to it.

You take somebody who is doing a wonderfully sour job of driving a vehicle. You could run the same thing there and rehabilitate his ability in this life on a vehicle. You could say, "What part of that vehicle could you be responsible for mocking up?"

See, this cuts through all the vias, and therefore is very hard on him. But it's nevertheless undoubtedly a good lead-in process to anything.

Now, I'll tell you the process holdup that we are experiencing in clearing. The process holdup is dual: One, an individual is so mired down on Help that

he's deep into Destroy, and he doesn't have enough havingness to run it. Now, this is a rough, rough deal. Now obviously, that's a rough deal. You've got to get through that thing with CCH 1, you've got to persuade it one way or the other, pick the right flows. It's a nice lock to pick. Don't kid yourselves that it's easy. But at the same time, realize that you can do it. But it takes a nice approach. Don't worry if it took you a week to get the case going. But once you have it going, you've got 99 percent of it licked.

Now, on the other hang-up—the other hang-up—this, so you understand, is the totally unwilling preclear: low, very low havingness, and he won't sit still in the first place and you're going to run Help on him, but he's totally on Destroy. Now, there's the boy. There's the boy. That's the rough one.

The other point on the case—the very same case or another case that seemed willing—that would come up is this thing about a mock-up. Now, it is worse than fields. Fields are merely the prevention of a mock-up. What you're trying to solve when you're solving a field is the ability to confront a mock-up. Now, you can solve the field as such on a gradient scale, and it works out mechanically that if you have him mock up a terminal which is just like the field, you have something there that he can mock up, that he is mocking up and that is still visible to him.

There are tremendous numbers of things which are no longer visible to him but he is still mocking up. Think of that for a moment. You have the problem with the spook: You process this fellow for a little while, and he suddenly discovers that his cousin has been standing there looking at him for a very long time—years and years and years. His cousin has been right in the room, he never noticed him.

Now, this was a failure of perception, not a failure of a mock-up. A failure of perception. He didn't see it. He was mocking it up, but he didn't see the mock-up. See that? All right.

When you extend his willingness to look—which is to say, his willingness to be responsible for something—he looks. So that you could say perception is responsibility; responsibility is perception.

Perception probably only takes place in the presence of telepathy, and if an individual is out of communication with something, he won't even know it is there. Now, this is what it amounts to.

Now in the future, in processing, you can expect that there will be other—I'll get something—other data concerning the starting of a case. The more cases we start, the more we know about it. The barrier right now is surmountable. It's merely a little arduous with a few cases.

And as far as mock-ups are concerned, that in its turn is not insurmountable. We have ways and means of doing that, but it may seem just a little bit difficult with this case or that case. Something that'll make you think about it, make you after the session say, "Gee-whiz, what is wrong with that guy? Now, let me see . . ." you know? "What will I do next?"

You know, it'll just get a little bit like that, and then you'll crack through. You're not worrying about an impossible problem as I have been for the last few years, see? The problem from the end of 1950 on looked almost totally insurmountable. It looked impossible. It loomed large because it did seem that there was no coordination of entrance that could be communicated to an auditor so an auditor would look at a case. Don't you see, that was the main difficulty. And it took an awful simple know-how to get this thing oriented and across.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOCK-UPS

But the case that you approach as an impossible case will, of course, be impossible if you postulate it as such. That we can guarantee. But you have right now, without what I'm giving you today here, the answer to cases. You can crack through these cases, it won't cause too much difficulty even in there in the roughest state, such as the fellow who's been in a coma for three months, and you have to woo him back to consciousness. And then you find out he was—been nuts for eight years anyhow, and you have to get him through that. And when you get him all through being nutty, you find out that his field is still there like solid concrete, you know, and so on. These are some—simply a few things to sigh about. You have the processes which gets over each one of these humps. I wish it were easier; it doesn't happen to be at this time.

Now, there will be breakthroughs in these areas. And I'll just describe the areas to you again so you will know where the breakthroughs should be expected. Now, that's quite interesting that we can simply sketch them just like that. And the major breakthrough will be in some very facile method of bringing somebody back to consciousness and alertness who is in a comatose state. That's one. Now, there'll probably—undoubtedly be an easier method developed for that. We have one now, and that method is, "Lie in that bed. Thank you," a variation of TR 5. And you do this just on a verbal command basis and until the individual is alert.

Now, the first communication you get from a person who is in a state of coma is hand pressures. All your communication will be by hand pressures. You don't expect them to speak, but they communicate with you by hand pressure. You can actually describe to an unconscious person, one press means yes, two means no, or something like that. And he will give you ones and twos even though the medicos will say this man has been unconscious and hasn't been able to speak for years. Quite amusing. Just shows you the medico needs to know something more than he knows. He needs to know a few Scientologists—they'd make a citizen out of him.

Now, that's one breakthrough area. How can that be done more easily? The next area is insanity. How can you snap a person into sanity more easily?

We already have methods for both of these things, and it is not beyond imagination to handle an insane case for as little as three, four days at sporadic intervals and so on, and have them snap to—just on your Help brackets. Maybe it's all you need. We don't know that yet; we have no means, really, of researching in this particular area. And our material on the insane accumulates very slowly, while the insane accumulate very rapidly.

Now, our next area is in this thing, black field. Now, there may be a better answer to cracking up a black field, but I now have about ten. The best answer on cracking one up that I know at this time is the Help bracket.

Now, we may or may not come to a solid agreement with that uniformly, but from my viewpoint fields do weird things on Help brackets, particularly if they're well run, if the flows are expertly chosen and so on.

The next area is getting him to make a mock-up that he knows he is making. There are probably easier methods of doing that. Undoubtedly, there is an easy method of doing that, all other things swept aside. Now of course, we have methods of doing that; you've been taught methods of doing it. I'm merely saying that there will be easier methods of that developed.

And finally, there will undoubtedly be simpler tests of condition developed. These things are certain breakthroughs. You can expect a little randomity on each one of these points.

But if you have learned what you have learned here in this 19th ACC, you certainly have answers to all of these points. Perseverance and your own wit will get you through in any piece of randomity that you run into.

I am very sure that you don't need or have to have more data than you have. I merely say that in view of shortness, ease or positiveness, or something like that, more data will certainly be developed. We would be very, very stupid indeed if we did not realize that fact.

The fact, however, of what we are doing, is now done. That's very important. That it takes place in a very finite number of hours is already accomplished as a fact. Now, I am sure you will all agree with that.

There is an optimum length of time in processing, which I would say would be certainly above twenty hours. Fellow would never know he'd been anyplace. The amount of jolt of the change factor would be too great for him to support if you did it in one minute. Why, he'd probably go stark, staring mad right on the spot, don't you see, from just the sudden shift—the curve, see? One moment he's stupid and aberrated, and the next moment, why, he's Clear. Well, he'd undoubtedly go nuts. Something would happen to him. Without any expectation of any such state or anything of the sort, he suddenly achieved it, he'd be shaken to the core, let me assure you. Furthermore, he'd never get to know his auditor, and it'd never give you a break.

And I'd say that the probabilities of a Clear shorter than twenty hours would be very, very remote. Too many factors stand in its road, none of which have to do with auditing at all. See, they're not auditing factors. They're social factors. They're economic factors. They're all sorts of things. And therefore I wouldn't be casting sheep's eyes at "capsule-clearing."

Now, there are always people around who have to do it all at once. You know, it's got to be done right now. Let me assure you of this: They are dramatizing a whole track psychiatric postulate. "I've got to get rid of it all at once. Little by little won't count. I've got to get rid of it all at once." Pretty amazing, such a sweeping idea.

You'll find somebody who is just—practically shatters on the idea that it's going to take any time at all to wash the dishes. You know, the person will just sit there and just (sigh) because it's going to take five minutes to wash the dishes. You get the idea?

Well, that person has a time intolerance that denotes a considerable nuttiness. And don't you go Q-and-Aing with it. Because every time I have had one of these people who had to do it all in the next five minutes, it has taken me the devil's own time to get the case into some kind of shape to sit still to get audited.

I know of such a case. The case used to say, "Well, I can do mock-ups as long as the auditor will go fast enough." Now, this is a rather common one, and I'm not being critical of this case, but this gets very extreme.

"Well, I just won't let you audit me anymore because you're not giving me the commands fast enough. And if you're not giving me the commands fast enough, why, I just can't keep up with you. After all, I'm a Tone 8.0 and I have great difficulty in going as slow as you."

Actually, the person would mock up a cat, mock up a cat, mock up a cat, mock up a cat; they actually could go j—j—j—j—i—it's just barely tolerable.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOCK-UPS

Case would have blown to flinders if you'd said, "Now, mock up a cat and slowly move the cat from where you have it over to the right side of the body."

Or—and don't forget this process—SCS on an object when you run into such anxieties: "Slowly move that object on the table toward the right. Slowly."

The person will experience an urge to slam the object over against the wall. It's just more than they could do, see? And where you would really get them would be in CCH 4 Book Mimicry. You take the book and you have them make this motion . . . (pause) and you say, "There."

Oooooooh!

Just a little parallel movement that's going about one inch a second. He'll just say, "Vrro-oo-oh!" You got that?

This same person will want to be cleared in thirty seconds, but unfortunately will require four or five hours of "Sit in that chair" before they can be audited. Such a case is totally unaware of the auditor, and you should, when somebody starts giving you this old stuff of how much longer will it take and so forth, you should look into this.

The best way to look into it is CCH 3 or CCH 4—slow movement. I've seen their brains practically spatter over the ceiling.

Now, this anxiety level for speed is an inversion of actual speed. And the funny part of it is, the person in his usual life goes very, very slowly, is very poky, is highly procrastinative and can't get anything done. So, you see somebody arguing for speed who, at the same time, can't get anything done, you know what you're looking at. Do you see that?

Well, don't get thrown by such a case's anxiety. It's an anxiety about time, and time is the single highest aberration. It's an intolerance of mest. It's lots of things.

Now, the difficulties of research have actually been more economic than they have been technical. At any time if a few hundred thousand dollars had been made available, why, this thing could have been brushed off much more rapidly and with greater positiveness. However, it was never made available except by individuals in the purchase of service and in their own activities.

Therefore, we have emerged with an ability to clear, into a rather interesting universe of our own. We are not beholden to any organization; we can tell them all to go to hell, which is a wonderful state of beingness.

With what horror and disgust and so forth, a member of the American Phrenological Society said to me the other day—a few months ago, he said, "Well, if I could change IQs like that, I'd keep it—how I did it to myself, too." All sorts of accusations. You know, very accusative about us keeping these techniques to ourselves.

We evidently have been a secret society all this time! Of course, that becomes very, very funny when every single one of us have been trying to give this information out here any way that we could for the last eight years.

Well, that is the general, official belief about Scientology—that it's carefully kept its information and data to itself. We're a mystery. We're a total mystery. Wonderful. Let them stick.

I don't think you could give the information away now. I mean, somebody comes in, he said, "Now, how do you—how do you audit people?" and you told him. And "Well, now exactly what are the exact techniques you use?" and you told him. And he'd go away and . . . You get the idea?

Now, we fortunately, as far as I'm concerned, don't have any breakthroughs to make in the field of dissemination. The subject goes as far as it works and

133

134

14 FEBRUARY 1958

that's the stable datum I'm stuck with. Won't go any further than that. But we used to have some randomity on this particular subject in which you would be very interested.

Now, this person who was so anxious to have it all done at once was not above telling people that he had already arrived. And we found some of the nuttier people in the country running around in circles telling everybody they were Clear. Until by '52, I think it was, just the fact that somebody said he was Clear was enough for everybody to know he was a nut!

This randomity must not be allowed to occur. Now, the way it's being prevented and the way it can be prevented very easily—since you will make the bulk of the Clears that are made here across the world—the way it can be prevented very easily is for every issue or two of Ability and every few PABs to carry a notation to this effect: " If he says he's Clear, ask him for his bracelet."

Now, by making it possible for a professional validated auditor to administer a Clear test to a person he has processed or somebody else has processed, make out a proper form and swear to those findings—since I found out there is no slightest reason in the world to distrust you—and send it in to the HCO, a bracelet could be forwarded, providing it was paid for.

Now, the fact is that the only bracelet which has been contracted for— two bracelets, actually, been contracted for, and one is as massive as this Explorers Club bracelet I am wearing here, which is a pretty massive bracelet—sterling silver. As a matter of fact, I think the links are even a little more massive than that. And the other is a lady's bracelet which is more delicate but is still on this subject of having mass.

Costs money to make such things because it is essentially jewelry. It isn't just a service ID stamp-out, you see? The top face of the disk on this identification bracelet has the "S" and double triangle, of which you're all familiar, embossed. Very large and embossed. Very pretty.

The other side of it has, on the lower half of it, has "Scientology Clear" and my initial. And up above, on the upper half of the inside of the bracelet, the person's name and the date of the test, all of which, of course, has to be engraved.

Now, that is a Clear bracelet. And I just had an interview yesterday to get these things underway and manufactured and so on; that's rather easy to do. And, of course, by the time anybody—well, within a finite period of time, they certainly are—will be ready. There's always going to be a slight delay because it's an individualized basis of where somebody's name has to be engraved, and that is an engraving process which takes a day or two at the plant, don't you see?

Now, this bracelet is sufficiently jewelry that somebody would wear it, and it does cut down this particular randomity. There is even a staff member who is far from here, who has unfortunately carefully confided to a couple of people that the state of Clear had been attained by this staff member. Now, of course, this staff member was under discussion to be hauled in and be audited, same time this occurred. Almost tells you why, doesn't it? The person made a couple of mistakes and was about to be pulled in; the next thing we hear, there's a rumor going around about Clear.

You must keep people from saying more than they will say because they'll say things anyhow. But you must keep them from having ammunition in this particular line, otherwise the state will be invalidated and our work will be very definitely halted.
