Going into competition with the MEST universe  
 

"The essential difference between your own universe and the other fellow's universe and the MEST universe is that you're making yours. And that part of it which you're doing a good job on is the MEST universe, and that part of it which you're doing a lousy job on, you see, is your own universe. And then you try to go into competition with MEST. Oh! How can you go into competition with you? You'll only be on two sides of the chessboard. As soon as a person starts to go into real arduous competition with MEST, he goes into real arduous competition with himself, of course. And so he's defeating himself all the time, because the best thing he's doing is the MEST universe. And the worst thing he's doing is what he's calling still his. It's just a problem in automaticity."

The phenomena of exteriorization
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from The Rehabilitation of the Human Spirit lectures

I could give you a lot of material on this subject. In fact, we could probably talk for a couple of hundred hours just on variuos ways people got exteriorized.

The essential method of exteriorization, the method which you must have and use if you expect success in exteriorizing somebody, is to know the elements of what you are exteriorizing, and predict its behavior under certain conditions—the various conditions you encounter.

Now, if you know of what it is capable, you will then know very well how to get it out of one place and into another place. This is a simplicity, true, but it's something that you might overlook. If you know how a thetan operates, behaves, of what he is capable, you then will be able to use these capabilities in order to exteriorize him.

You are all too prone to suppose that because a thetan finds himself in the middle of a body, he then does not have the same characteristics as he would have far from a body.

This is brought about with some justification. For a thetan when trying to operate in the middle of the body, is operating straight up against his own ridges very often, and in operating against those, finds it very difficult to exteriorize. Do you see that?

Every time he tries to do something, he activates something which he has already deposited in the body, and he now becomes the effect of what he has caused. And thus you stir up too many ridges inside the body, and the thetan is apparently less capable than before.

The answer to this is the validation of MEST barriers and the invalidation of the thetan's own barriers.…

Well, his inability to exteriorize is made difficult by the fact that he has too largely validated those barriers in which he finds himself enmeshed. He's too greatly validated his own thought processes, his thinkingness processes as he conceives them, his own facsimiles and other material, and he is in contact with these.

And the other part of the problem is, he is frightened of MEST. He's rather frightened of it.

Once in a while, you will exteriorize a thetan and he will try to steady himself by putting a beam on the wall, and the wall will eat up the beam. The beam, you see, is very—too close to the wavelength of that wall, and the—he'll stick.

And sometimes you'll exteriorize somebody, and you'll exteriorize him as a body, you know, and then you don't exteriorize him from the body he exteriorized in. We just—you see what's happening there. I mean, he's—he has something you might call a theta body.

Well, it's very silly for him to have this. It's not something he sends around—he's in it. But he can exteriorize out of that one. It's built out of a slightly less heavy effort, on a different anchor point system, than the MEST body.

Now, he can exteriorize out of that exactly as he exteriorizes out of a MEST body, because he is essentially just a source-point for energy. And if he locates himself as a point, he is very small. Very small, if he locates himself as a point.

Well now, in trying to agree with the body, he'll eventually mock himself up as a body. This is not true. He's a small spot of light, you might say.

And he will get out in one of these (quote) "theta bodies" (unquote), and lay his hand—you know, theta body hand, it operates just like a MEST body hand—and he'll lay his hand on the wall or on the back of a chair or into the upholstery or something of this sort, and he will go right on in, see? It'll grab hold of him. And boy, he doesn't want anything to do with that. Oh, no! He'll try to pull free—never occurs to him to just drop the hand which is caught and mock up a new hand. This doesn't occur to him. And he becomes very frightened and will dive back in.…

Generally, the theta body that they exteriorize in are simply a mass of effort ridges which have accumulated on the MEST body, which they can't get rid of, so they drag along with them, which is a different thing. That's other energy they're dragging with them.

Well, one of these that could almost make his own body will exteriorize with some sort of a hand or something of the sort, which has long electronic beams on it, all of which are vibrating, and he has, you might say, an electrical metabolism which would fascinate an engineer. Just fascinate him. Because he's an electronic machine. He's rigged up so that his energy performs certain exact functions. And you generally have four or five stringers on a—on the end of his arm, you see, in lieu of a hand, which is almost a hand—there's just three, four, five, stringers, all of which are in very strong vibration.

This is a tough boy. This is a tough boy. You very often have trouble exteriorizing him. Because he's real rough. He's real tough. What he's used that hand for, in possibly relatively recent times, is the simple act of decapitation. Just one backward flip of the hand and a MEST body's head would come off, that's all, see?…

Of course, they have a sort of humor about their roughness. I ran into one, one time, that had a beautiful tail. This solid black, sort of furry, with a beautiful tail, and a cat's face, and long electronic—this sounds like something out of a nightmare, I know—and long electronic claws. And, I asked this character a few questions, one way or the other—I mean, I exteriorized him just that way, you see, exteriorized him in his body—and I asked him to knock a piece of paper off the desk, and he simply reached over and he knocked the piece of paper all right, but he also charred it!

And, he reached around a moment later and took hold of the sofa and stuck to it. He couldn't get his hand free instantly, startled him, and he did an immediate flip back into the body. But he was quite visible to MEST eyes.

It was like a dark shadow standing in the room. If you can imagine a shadow, a quite plain shadow standing upright in the room with a quite bright set of streamers coming out of its hands, you'd have this. This is very, very strange.

This fellow, by the way, was quite afraid of demons. And he'd mocked his—he had mocked himself up this way because for many centuries he had fought demons. And of course he went in and mocked up, then, the winning valence: the demons.

What's Inside?
Going into competition with the MEST universe
The phenomena of exteriorization

 


Operate from an OT® Perspective

A thetan operates as a paradox. He's "trying" to survive when he can't do anything but survive. He looks in a mirror and thinks he sees "himself" but what does he really see? A MEST universe lie created to keep him from going free.

In The Rehabilitation of the Human Spirit lectures, LRH shatters these lies and the complexities that have kept you trapped in a MEST body and reveals OT data found nowhere else that will give you a reflection of your true nature as a spiritual being.

67 life-changing lectures

In this series, LRH talks directly to you, the thetan, revealing his breakthroughs into the realm of exteriorization, postulates and a thetan's ability to predict and cause the future.

He begins the series with one proviso: "Be surprised at nothing." For what was about to be revealed resembled nothing man had ever known before—the most advanced upper level material regarding postulates and exteriorization ever released.

Delivered in 1953 in Camden, New Jersey, the Second American Advanced Clinical Course lectures directly followed the first ACC (Exteriorization and the Phenomena of Space) where LRH expanded on the research and application of auditing techniques to exteriorize and free the spirit.

MEST universe—an endless mirror maze

This series provides the knowledge you need to escape the endless mirror maze of the MEST universe. You'll learn how you originally mocked up this "game called life" then put it on automatic and forgot you did it. And LRH gives you the precise technology to take back control.

You'll find the exact point where a thetan gets trapped in this universe and how you reverse this ageless dilemma. Without this one datum, you could continue to make the same mistake for eternity.

Did you ever try to sit down to "figure out something?" In this lecture series you'll discover this is the WRONG way to accomplish anything—it's actually a trap. And LRH provides the solution—the OT means of achieving your goals in life!
