The willingness to control...

"Now, the difference between a good auditor and a bad auditor is the willingness of the auditor to control. That is the result that one auditor gets compared to the result some other auditor gets with the same technique. It is not communication. It is first and foremost, control. If he is able to or willing to control his preclear, then the auditor plus the preclear can control the circuits and aberrations of the preclear. And an auditor who is not willing to and who cannot control a preclear will have any technique—no matter how brilliant or well thought out—twist in his hands. Therefore, he must know how to control people."

L. Ron Hubbard

The Scale of Reality and making postulates stick

An article by L. Ron Hubbard
excerpted from the London Congress on Nuclear Radiation, Control & Health lectures


There is the Scale of Reality. It starts at the top with a postulate, goes down into a continuing postulate (a consideration) into that special continuing postulate called an agreement, down into that special thing called a mass, down into terminal, down into no-line, no-terminal.

And when you walk a person's reality upstairs with communication, it can then and therefore follow this track, and should follow this track.

...

You know, you can always get somebody to redo his postulates. You just change them around for him, but you can always do that.

But he now has the power to postulate. And woe betide the enemies this person has, because if—if this postulatingness continued on downscale below the level where it actually lives, it would just be the saddest, sorriest world you ever heard of if people at 1.5 could postulate and make it stick. And they can't. Or if people at boredom could make their postulates stick; they can't. They can make their postulates stick only above the point where they always keep a bargain. Isn't that an interesting commentary on man?

But to make a postulate stick it almost lays down the—this is moralizing on what is only a scientific, technical scale.

If a person could make a postulate stick every time or change a postulate at will, which we know is the best therapy there is, he would also, always keep all of his agreements in all directions, or could undo them when they were concluded. And he would also be able to conceive and behold masses of any and all kinds, and he would also be totally cognizant of any and all lines at will. And he would also be totally cognizant of periods of nothingness over which he still had control.

In other words, he'd have the whole of the Reality Scale in his grasp.

I'll go over it again.

It starts at the top with a postulate, then a continuing postulate, and then below continuing a postulate comes agreement. And we're now, just now, moving into the finite band, the 4.0 on down, when we say the reality of an object. Those people normally have—from 4.0 down, their greatest reality is that objects are, and lines are.

And we move from there down to about 2.0, and here we fade on down with a line, and less and less object, you see? Less and less objects over here, and more and more line, until we get into the minus Tone Scale, and there we have lines, lines, lines... Where's a rope so I can hang myself, you know? And then this goes on down to just nothing.

And that is the Reality Scale. And it tells us at once that someone at the level of .1, you know, apathy—body apathy—comes around, and he says, "You know, I've just made a postulate, and the entire government is going to revolt tomorrow?" Don't you believe it. That person's postulates don't stick. They get frantic about them, and they try to tell you they do, but they don't.

It is quite interesting, quite a fascinating view. It's as though life had its own brakes, its own inhibitions, and it safeguarded its abilities so that as a person loses these abilities, and takes on other attributes, he is fortunate to have lost the abilities from the viewpoint of the rest of us—in other words, at 1.5, sure as the dickens, better not have the ability to postulate cleanly and clearly, or people would start dropping dead all over the place.

But the way it's rigged—and these things are just basically considerations and agreements amongst the race—the way it's rigged is by the time he gets down to that point, he couldn't keep a contract.

—L. Ron Hubbard

Success from listening to the Congress Lectures

"I am thoroughly enjoying listening to my lectures. Every word that I have had to look up is in the glossary of terms, which is awesome. I treasure these interludes of being with LRH—they are the highlights of my days. One win I had which came at the perfect time was that I was experiencing a body problem and LRH spoke of granting life to people and things or not granting life. I started to grant life to different parts of my body and have had quite a considerable change in my body as a result. Another great win was on having an independent attitude toward life. This is incredible data. The fact is that the only reason one 'agrees' with isness is because of past postulates or bank. That datum alone made me able to have an 'independent attitude' of my own determination to create my own reality. This is so powerful. Having the Golden Age of Knowledge has put me at cause on getting all of LRH's tech. Up until now I have been overwhelmed by the volume of books and lectures because I did not know where to start, so I didn't. This has given me the doable gradient to get the data in an organized fashion. It has put me at cause in this area, which is a win of some magnitude!" —M.G.

FROM CONFUSION TO TOTAL CERTAINTY


The coming of a new Golden Age, changing forever your level of understanding of the very essence of Scientology itself and giving a level of application beyond anything you've dreamed.

WHAT IS YOUR ROUTE TO KNOWLEDGE?

With 3,000 lectures, 8,000 pages of books and 29,000 pages of issues, totaling over 35 million words, every Scientologist has asked the question, "What should I study next? In which order do I read the books so I really understand? And in which sequence do I listen to the lectures, and how to they fit in?" Moving up the steps of the Scientology Grade Chart will take you directly to OT. But what if it were in random order—you'd never make it. And so it is with the materials.

There is a "right way" to study them. There's a reason you haven't.

THE WHY: NO GRADE CHART TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE MATERIALS

Until now.

THE HANDLING: THE NEW MATERIALS GUIDE CHART!

Providing you with the know-how of knowing how to know, the Guide Chart shows you which materials you should study and in what sequence, from the development of Dianetics to Scientology and all LRH recorded lectures. It contains a description of every book and lecture series, their precise content and what that technology is all about. And within the full body of LRH lectures, there are three distinct types of lectures intended for very different uses.

THE THREE TYPES OF LRH LECTURES

The first type are Professional Course Lectures which LRH specifically recorded to train auditors. These lectures were provided to all Org Academies and are what students studied to get a certificate as an auditor.

The Advanced Clinical Courses or ACCs, were delivered to trained Scientologists—those who had already been certified as auditors. These are the lectures that form the day-to-day record of LRH's developmental track.

The last category of LRH lectures are milestones—breakthroughs of such major significance they formed the next giant leap in building The Bridge. They are called CONGRESSES—the lectures LRH intended for EVERY Scientologist. And that's why they are the first release in this new Golden Age of Knowledge.

The Congress Lectures include the following (click on any title for more info):
