Present time and the MEST universe  
 

"Just look at this, then. The mission of processing, mission as an auditor, is not to try to find the future for somebody or knock out the past or anything else. It's just to put him stably in present time—and that's the goal of the auditor. The goal of the auditor: pc to PT. That's all.

"Now, what—it so happens that this does restore a person's self-determinism. Because if he's exactly, precisely in present time, then he could move, step completely out of the MEST universe, if he wanted to. The door out is always there. It's facing you immediately in present time. But you're never facing present time! See, I mean, you've always got to figure out what's going to happen for the future. That's logic.

"Person's logical enough, he'll be here forever."

Cause and creation
An article by L. Ron Hubbard from The Factors: Admiration & the Renaissance of Beingness lectures.

You'll find out readily enough when you start processing beingness out of a preclear, you'll find out all of a sudden, by the process which I will give you, he will recognize something. He'll say, "You know, there's really not—there's really not an object which is I." This will come to him as a little bit of a surprise. He'll tell you this; you don't have to even give him a clue. "There really isn't anything that is I. I don't have a form. I don't exist, really, except as I…Gee, I'm only trying to be things; I am not anything." And he gets real upset right about that point.

THE POTENTIAL OF CREATING

Oh, I'm sorry, he is something, he is something. He is a capacity to create. And if you want to know whether or not a capacity to create is worth being, look at the pure joy there is in the field of creating arts. If you've ever seen anybody absorbed in anything, it's a painter with a brush or a kid in a kindergarten with a crayon. Oh, boy. So that's not a little thing to be at all. And that's what he is. He is a potentiality of creating something. He is the directive, creative urge and instinct. He's nothing in terms of matter but he can create any quantity of it.

So he all of a sudden tells you with horrible feeling that "I can't—I'm not really anything!"

He's looking for the reason why. I mentioned to you a little earlier people all come along and they want to know the "reason why," and the reason I got bogged down originally in this whole work was I knew there was no reason why for all this. Couldn't find any reason why.

THE PRIOR CAUSE

Well, to hell with the reason why. When you say, "reason why," this says logic, you see? And what's wrong with your preclear is he gets logical. See? Your "reason why" is based upon the fact that there is prior cause which makes me an effect, and the fellow is always pushing himself up the time track from cause and is never being cause.

So the highest thing a thetan can be is cause of creation, cause of creative instincts, cause of creative beingness, cause of motivation.

He is motivation! But when he says, "I am not anything," he is saying, "Nothing existed before I exist, which gives me a form I don't have any further responsibility for." In other words, he's in the optimum condition.

PERMITTED TO BEING UNLIMITED CAUSE

There is no more condition more optimum than "I am what I create myself to be at any instant." That is really optimum. That is too juicy. That's too wonderful. Nobody could be that! And yet, that's what every thetan is!

And he said, "And there's no reason why." He said, "Nobody came along," he suddenly realized, "nobody came along and gave me a top hat and said, 'You are now a top hat.' And that's what I'm complaining about." The fellow's complaining—the fellow is complaining because he is not permitted to be an effect!

He's complaining because he's being permitted to be unlimited cause. That's a heck of a thing to complain about, isn't it?

So there is a goal on the line. What do you want? What do you want to make? What do you want to create? What effect do you want to create? It's just yours—wham. There isn't any more than that.

I mean, you've said the most superlative superlative you could say when you say somebody—somebody is the potentiality of directed creation.

THE HIDDEN INFLUENCE

He doesn't need facsimiles to remember anything. He doesn't need energy. He doesn't need terminals. He doesn't even have to communicate with anything if he doesn't want to. He's cause.

And look at cause up there at the top of the Chart of Attitudes and you will find that cause goes along with a lot of other desirable things.

They're all about at the same band, and all those things exist up there at that band. All right, enough for that.

What keeps him from being that?

"Oh, there might be a hidden influence."

"Oh, what kind of a hidden influence?"

"Well, there might be."

In fact, he might run into a vacuum. And everybody knows a vacuum pulls in. That's really the truth. "He might be a vacuum." It doesn't ever occur to him that he could mock the whole thing up again afterwards.

YOUR ABILITY TO CREATE

So the state of your preclear is—actually can be graphed on a curve of the amount of ability to create which he has retained. The amount of action he can initiate is also an index. How much action does he initiate? How much is he willing to do with his hands? All of these various things are indexes.

But the primary index is how much does he wish to independently create? What is his creational desire? Now, it gets better the better he gets. That is one index that is just as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar. That is one like the communication lag index. The creative instinct of the individual: What is this creative instinct? Your preclear gets as well as that is restored, and it is a beautiful little thing to work with.

THE CREATIVE INSTINCT AND ITS POWER

Because one day your preclear comes in—he doesn't think you know he's doing anything particularly—and one day he comes in and he says to you, he says, "You know, I always wanted to paint, and I bought a brush yesterday." Here he goes. You don't care whether he ever paints or not. That's a silly thing to do anyhow, paint. You get it on you and so forth.

But you have restored his creative instinct. Now, it is being directed toward MEST, you see, handling MEST and meshing the MEST around and so on. Well, he'll even unfix from that and he'll get to a much higher level of creation. He wants creation with duration. That is the level of the painter and that level is way higher than any level there is out in the society; it's up there in the stars.

It's so incomprehensibly high to Homo sapiens that he'll stand around and look at a painter with his jaw dropped. And the painter, had a picture exhibited and thought well of and so on, this is way up in the stars, this is dwelling on the Olympian heights with the gods.

Why are these lectures important?

In one brief statement: these were the very breakthroughs that bridged Ron's research from the potentials of OT expressed in the Philadelphia Doctorate Course to the actualities of exterior OT ability only one year later.

LRH covers basic laws of the universe of theta, laws literally senior to anything, and reveals these OT fundamentals and explains in detail their sweeping command over all existence—even to the creation of the physical universe itself.

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

  • What effect the sun, moon and other planets have on a body
  • What money is, what laws it follows, and how one starts a money flow
  • How to control things by being them
  • How you can measure someone's sanity with a stopwatch
  • Why people like to read bad news in newspapers, not good news
  • What would happen if you brought a body all the way to present time
  • What do you have to do to be able to see as a thetan
  • Why you can't understand people without being willing to be them
  • How one becomes trapped by facsimiles and untrapped by knowledge
  • How to understand anything by being rather than thinking
  • The physics of anchor points
  • The dismantling of barriers with admiration
  • The creation of space using "flitter"
  • Why you need two of anything, including engrams
  • The relationship between sex, eating and death
  • What's wrong with "correcting" a child—or anyone
  • The first law of beingness
  • Why you can bog down trying to "explain Scientology"

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 Factors: Admiration & the Renaissance of Beingness lectures.

There are 18 lectures in this series, on CD, and they come with complete and verified transcripts and an extensive glossary. This series also comes with a supplement booklet containing key LRH™ references which relate to the series and are vital to a full understanding.

Success story from listening to these lectures:

"Life becomes grand, more aesthetic and worthwhile…"

"Admiration is so powerful it can as-is ANY unwanted situation. I didn't really have that viewpoint before I listened to these lectures, but now I do. Life becomes grand, more aesthetic and worthwhile. I also handled an unwanted situation in my life by flowing admiration to it and a person connected to the unwanted situation. Just by doing what it said in the lectures blew the problem away, and in its place I put something I created—something theta and productive!" —B.M.
