Where the society is at on the Help button
 

nd do you know, we're catching this planet today — we're actually catching it — on the last bottom shreds of help. People will help. They will drop a penny in the Society for Disabled Children or something like that, even though they don't care what happens to the society. They see the sign, and so forth, and they say, 'Well, they probably need some help,' and they drop a penny.

"They're not really interested. If you ask them, 'What is your interest in — what is your interest in disabled children?'

"And they'd say, 'Huh?'

"Well now, it goes downscale on Help to a point where the person will help but won't receive help. That's getting down into the lower realms of this thing.

"And if you could just see these things as Interest, Communication, Control and Help, with a sort of a curtain being pulled down across each one of these, you'd see there was still a little tiny bit of help possible, but nothing else.

"Well, the person's life has simply gone out to that extent. Just gone out. And as you raise the curtain, it gets back up to interest, enthusiasm, verve, and so forth."

Man's prevention mechanism from doing wrong
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from the London Congress on Dissemination & Help and the London Open Evening Lectures

One time I was looking around for people to straighten up on a series — I was trying to do a series of about ten — and I got a hold of a criminal who was a real hardened criminal. He is what is known as the dyed-in-the-wool criminal, I think that's the technical name of it.

This fellow had a habit. He would find somebody who had some money, lure him down the street, take him into an alley, and then hit him a hard blow on the jaw, take the money, put it in his pocket and walk off. He'd been doing this for years. And his arm was very shriveled. But he hadn't quite made it yet. He was still capable of striking a blow with this shriveled arm. But he was working on it. And I tried to get this shriveled arm straightened out and he went so fast that he practically got a total paralysis of one side before I'd worked on him more than a few minutes.

I gave him a wonderful opportunity of really crippling himself. He was desperately trying to get himself into a state whereby he could no longer hit people on the jaw, because that's what he did. And the way he was trying to work it out, you see, was that way.

He never — he never asked the question of why he hit people on the jaw. This was something he couldn't confront. So he just never looked for that; he just looked at ways and means to prevent himself from hitting people on the jaw. That was all he did. Obvious answer: crippled arm.

You see some old man going down the street on two canes, gimping along. Terribly interesting what that old man thinks he would do if he had two good legs. It's quite fascinating. You find out what he would do if he had two legs — it's easy, because he himself can hardly stop himself from answering you if you ask him, "What would two crippled legs prevent you from doing?"

And before he can hardly open his mouth, the words come out, "I'd just get any woman I saw and knock her down and just kick her and kick her and kick her. That's how I got two crippled legs, see?" It's very funny.

Now, as long as man has been fooling around with man, he has considered that man was basically evil. And factually, this isn't true. Man tries to prevent becoming evil to such an extent he moves right around into the middle of it. He tries to restrain himself to a point of where he can't restrain himself anymore and there he goes. And there's what? There's your Control button. …

Now, the fellow who has the crippled arm — I found out, by the way, why he had a crippled arm. When he was a little kid, there was an older boy on the newspaper route who used to beat him up and take his money. And this happened at least once a week. As soon as this fellow as a child had collected his money on his route or collected his money from his customers, this other fellow would come along and beat him up. And he got so fixated on this whole thing, he got so fixated on the idea that the best thing to do was beat somebody up and take their money away, that's all he could do for the rest of his life.

But he really didn't get a paralyzed side until one day his mother woke him up, unexpectedly, and he drew back his arm to hit his mother. And actually, his arm was drawn back in the act of hitting his mother from there on out, because he checked that, but good. But he couldn't check the other dramatization; he could no longer control that dramatization.

You straighten out these various buttons, try to find out what the individual has failed to help — that is your lowest entrance point. And if there's anything lower than that, the case is probably not conscious, unable to talk to you in any way, is in an asylum someplace and you have to use another regimen of processing entirely, called the CCHs.

But we assume that this individual can still talk to some slight degree. And if you find out what that individual failed to help, you will find out at once one of the points that prevents you from helping him.

Success stories from the lectures

"These lectures are exactly the tech I was missing. I have read the HCOBs on help, but was missing this talk from LRH on how it related to cases — their tone levels, their withholds and their desire to live or die."

"It has helped me to get my 15-year-old son into the longest conversation of substance we have ever had — if you are a parent you will realize what it is like to try to get your teenage son to talk!

"It also cleared up why I have lost on previous dissemination attempts — I thought I could just speak to the person directly. I was never addressing help; or their will to do better. It has sped up my auditing. I cognited on various aspects of my case. Lastly, it has given me a tool I can use which makes future comm cycles more of a game with me aware and at cause."

Success stories from the lectures

 




This is technology that cuts right to the core of deep-rooted apathy and gradiently brings individuals to a revitalized interest — in their case, in their environment and in life itself.

In June 1960, Ron presented the "Deadly Quartet" of Help, Control, Communication and Interest through a series of four "Open Evening" lectures in the Empire Rooms on Tottenham Court Road. In these public lectures to Scientologists and their friends, Ron demonstrated the use of these factors to revitalize anyone's interest in life — accomplished through casual conversation. And as to how that casual conversation might play out, Ron spelled it out in vivid detail.

While to bring that technology of revitalization to every Scientologist, he convened a landmark Congress at London's Royal Commonwealth Society Hall. Held on the 7th of August, Ron presented the power of presessioning both in auditing and in dissemination. He further presented an undercut to those four steps, revealing the real Why behind Man's often destructive behavior, as defined by an expanded Cycle-of-Action: Create-Survive-Destroy.

Find out in these lectures:

  • How to bring anyone up to Interest in anything.
  • Using the "Deadly Quartet" in casual conversation and thus being expert at flattening the buttons of Help, Control, Communication and Interest.
  • Why a being can only have bad luck if he's in someone else's valence.
  • The mechanism of people "wishing to die" and how this can be handled.
  • What LRH was really investigating in those Saint Hill horticultural experiments and what this has to do with why people get sick.
  • Why a touch assist works and what this has to do with the basic nature of man.
  • How it is that machines fall apart around some people and run well with others.
  • Why injuries stay injured and why they heal, in direct relationship to Confront.
  • The perfect dissemination formula for getting anyone interested in Dianetics and Scientology.

There are 7 lectures in this series on CD: the four London Open Evening Lectures and the three lectures of the London Congress on Dissemination & Help. They come complete with transcripts and an extensive glossary. This series also comes with a booklet containing key related LRH™ references.
