Being closer to truth level...  
 

"And it’s only up around 20.0 that you’ll see people producing poltergeist. You know, you tell something to move by thinking about it and it moves? That’s why you don’t see the phenomena very often in the Western world and so that people in the Western world don’t think it exists.

“That, by the way, is the usual bottom-level reaction: ‘If I haven’t implanted it on a facsimile for me in the physical universe, it does not exist.’ Whereas, as you go up the band, you give the person reasons why and the person will all of a sudden figure it out. And he will know, because he’s closer up to a truth level or not, whether it is or it isn’t. He’ll know instinctively whether it is or it isn’t."

Valences and the Life Continuum
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from the Scientology: Milestone One lectures

Now, regret that one has killed or maimed or injured results in another phenomenon: the phenomenon of life continuum. An auditor must know this phenomenon—life continuum. When a person has done an overt act to another, he conceives that he has taken on the responsibility and responsibilities of this other person, including this other person’s responsibilities in life—his goals, his physiology, his infirmities, his computations, his methods of doing business. All of these things, every single one of them, can form up into the life-continuum pattern.

Now, you’ll find that this phenomenon also exists: Grandma dies, and after that Grandma is to be found—in terms of mannerisms—in the grandchild. This is almost as though Grandma’s soul has transmigrated or reincarnated into the child, on Grandma’s death.

Not so. All this child has done, has looked at the fact: “Grandma is dead. I don’t want Grandma to be dead because this is nonsurvival on the dynamics. Therefore, how can I ‘undead’ Grandma? All right, the way I ‘undead’ Grandma is to figure out what was done to Grandma and undo that. And then I can ‘undead’ Grandma.” It’s a rather strange computation but it exists, and it exists just in that order.

So he says to himself, “Let’s start with me.” Always—“What have I done to kill Grandma?” He does the trick, then, of going into Grandma’s valence.

Valence is a very interesting manifestation. An individual will suddenly turn around and become like another individual and stay that way. An individual has himself and then he has valences, and he can go into dozens of valences. There's all sorts of valences: there’s synthetic valences, there’s bedpost valences, there’s… Yeah, that’s right; you’ll find people in insane asylums in the valence of a bedpost or in the valence of a brick wall or something of the sort.

And then there’s composite valences. Then there is imaginary people valences, like practically every girl in America at one time or another has gone into the valence of a movie actress. Sat there, and… One of the reasons why people go to see picture shows is to steal the valences of the actors and use them—go into those valences.

The whole subject of acting is actually bound up in the subject of valences. An actor only must be able to go into the valence of his character—see his character well and then step into that valence—and thereafter he will act almost automatically.

Now, therefore, this manifestation of valences is something with which an auditor will have to deal. In addition to that, he can actually predict the behavior of those around him by knowing whose valence they’re in—if he knew the characteristics of the other valence.

For instance, they say, “Life father, like son.” The chances are fair that the son is to some degree in father’s valence or to some degree completely out of father’s valence and on opposite polarity. Like “I’m never going to be like my father if it’s the last thing I ever do, I—rorr-rorr-rorr-rorr!” And so he becomes opposite to everything Father can do. Father happens to be a good businessman, so the son, of course, becomes a terrible businessman.

Therefore, a person can stay out of valences perforce and stay away from everything that is a characteristic of that valence, or he can be in the valence or he can just leave it alone.

Best thing to do is for an individual to be in his own being. That’s pretty hard for an individual to do. Most of the complaints you will get from preclears, as a fact, is, “I cannot be myself.” And the people they hate most are the people who inhibited them from being themselves—people who interfered with them being themselves.

—L. Ron Hubbard, from the lecture EFFORT AND COUNTER-EFFORT:OVERT ACTS.

Blow the lid off whole track memory

Why are these lectures important?

The breakthroughs presented here signal a crucial turning point in man's understanding of himself and his place in the universe. Here is nothing less than the empirical discovery of the human soul and the launch of a new subject to study its full nature, capabilities and potentials: Scientology® technology.

Here is the description of how Ron used the first E-meter™ to uncover and chart the "theta line" — that timeless, spaceless influence that animates, motivates, controls and forms Matter, Energy, Space and Time. Here are the breakthroughs which shattered the "one life" lie that had trapped mankind, revealing the "whole track" of spiritual existence.

Scientology is "the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life." And this is the lecture series where it all began.

Here are some examples of what you will find out in this series:

  • How you can be in more than one place at one time
  • Mysticism, magic and religion, and why they failed to find the answers
  • What the difference is between the genetic line and the theta line
  • How Ron's fiction stories relate to whole track recall
  • What happened to you "before Earth" and why were you sent here
  • How to win over a 1.5 or a 1.1 just with your body motions alone
  • The difference between having faith and being faith
  • How a being deals with motion at various levels of the Tone Scale
  • The fourteen characteristics of theta
  • How the body is built and animated
  • Where "fear of death" comes from
  • The source of "ringing in the ears"
  • What Facsimile One is
  • How "constructive" criticism reduces an individual's self-determinism
  • What trick thought is doing in the material universe
  • Why you have to go earlier lifetimes in auditing
  • The goal of Scientology and how to reach Milestone One — complete ability
  • The steps up to Milestone One — knowledge of the mind, knowledge of the physical universe — and how they interact

For the first time in the history of this universe you can find out the answers to these questions. They are all contained in the Scientology: Milestone One lectures.

You get 22 lectures on CD with transcripts, glossary and a supplement of related issues from the time period. To aid your study of this series, glossaries at the back of each transcript booklet define the terms used in those lectures. The supplement contains a master glossary and index, covering both lectures and references.

Success story from listening to these lectures:

"You can't possibly be the same when you find out…"

"Ron tells us the real reason we arrived here on earth, where we came from and how we lost the powers we had. You can't possibly be the same when you find out and you MUST find out. My personal win on this series is I blew what I thought was a permanent state of anxiety—a daily knot in my stomach which is now GONE. I could never trace down the source of this nervousness but learning the data in these lectures was so powerful it just blew. It was a miracle!" —J.L.
