The only aberration is denial of self

"Now, where, wherever — wherever man — wherever man finds himself deeply instilled and engrossed and surrounded with mystery, he is actually in conflict with himself, and himself alone. That is why processing works.

"The only aberration is denial of self.

"Nobody else can do anything to you but you. That's a horrible state of affairs. You can do something to you, but it requires your postulate, your agreement or your disagreement before anything could happen to you.

"People have to agree to be ill. They have to agree to be stupid. They have to agree to be in mystery. And actually, early on the track did agree to being hornswoggled."

L. Ron Hubbard
Excerpted from the Theta Clear Congress lecture



How does one postulate into existence his own condition?

An article by L. Ron Hubbard
from the Theta Clear Congress lectures

Now, people, then, are the victims of their own flinch; the victims of their own postulates; the victims of their own belief that they are inadequate.

Processing wouldn't work if this weren't true — if you believe this thing needs a proof.

It's a very remarkable thing that you could take one individual, all by himself, and straighten him out. Although the mystic will tell you that you have to straighten out the whole universe before you can be straightened out, that's not true at all. You would simply be, to be technical, loused-up on the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth dynamics. But you could be straightened out, even on those dynamics, without recourse to those dynamics.

And the reason for that is simply this: that an individual has to postulate into existence his own aberration, his own flinch, his own stupidity, his own inadequacy, his own lack of confidence and his own bad luck. These things are self-evident.

When you process an individual you can change his position on the Tone Scale, you can change his position on any profile, graph, test, reaction meter; you can change his basic health, and so forth.

Well, you couldn't do any of these things at all if somebody else was interfering.

It is the feeling that "somebody else has interfered" that is the most deadly postulate. "That somebody else is making it so" brings about the feeling that one is not responsible for one's own condition. And we get shame, blame and regret, other things of that character.

How did an individual feel in the first place that something could be done to his own postulates, or that he could be moved in on by somebody else? He had to consent to it. He had to consent to his postulates being wrong. He had to consent to the fact that somebody could mix up his own postulates. That, he had to consent to.

He had to say, "Well — well, somebody can mix up a postulate. Somebody else can keep it from arriving." He had to say that.

Well, there's very interesting mechanisms on the backtrack — very, very interesting, very intricate — by which he then says, "I can no longer make a postulate in that direction."

Well, he had to say that somebody else had a right to mess up his postulates. He had to say that somebody else could interfere with what he wanted to have happen. And the trick is these too are one's own postulates. Fascinating, isn't it?

—L. Ron Hubbard

Excerpted from the lecture SURVIVE AND SUCCUMB

This lecture is available in the Theta Clear Congress lectures.

Success from listening to the Congresses

"LRH just put my hat firmly on as a thetan. Now I know exactly what I do as a being and my relationship to others. Isn’t that a fantastic thing to be able to say?

"After only the first 10 minutes of this lecture, I had to walk into a store for a moment. I was so keyed out from the lecture, it felt as if my whole body were 50 lbs lighter and almost lifting off the ground. I also spotted areas of introversion I didn't even know I had and blew them.

"After listening to the rest of the lecture I find now that I am extremely keyed out and calm. There is something special about knowing exactly what you DO, but also and perhaps more importantly, how you fit in to the rest of the world out there. It's incredibly powerful and something everyone should know. Honestly I don't know how I have made it this far in life without this data!"—H.E.
