"Before Time"
An article by L. Ron Hubbard
Now, the race to which we are nativethe theta line to which we are nativewas
actually highly mystic. It was capable of a lot of thingstelepathy, teleportation,
odds and ends, stuffand concentrated rather heavily in that.
This invader race came in and sayswith a lot of electronics and said,
"Boys, all you've got to do is take this little jim-dandy whizzer*, and you
know, you will be twice as 'thetesque' as before."
They sold you all a bill of goods, and evidently we didn't penetrate their
minds, their thoughts or their intentions. Because one right after the otherbang,
bang, bang, bang, bangthey knocked us off. They knocked us off with a very simple
apparatus, and that simple apparatus consisted of something that went around your
head and across the top of your head and under your chinunder your throatand
back of your head. And everything pointed at the pineal. They turned on the juice
and something came in the middle of the head toward the pineal, three points on
the top of the head toward the pineal, from under the throat up at the pineal,
from the back of the head into the pineal and from the sides of the jaws into
the pineal. In other words, every point of entrance toward the pineal was hit
suddenly and hard and very excruciatingly.
The net result: the pineal gland, which at that time occupied what you had
as a skull and was practically all the skull there was, practically folded up.
And your mystic powers more or less went by the boards.
Then you went ahead and dramatized it, and there are a lot of overt acts on
it. And pretty soon you got so bad as a race thatperhaps you were elsewhere
by this timeyou were hauled upoh, some long, long, long, long time
later, maybe even a million years lateryou eventually wound up before another
crew. And this other crew said, "We don't want you around anymore, and we're
going to send you to jail." And so they packaged you up and shipped you off,
and that is an incident we call Before EarthB.E. That's Before Earth. And
they shipped you off and you wound up here. And all they did was transport your
theta line here, and you joined in on the MEST body line here.
I don't know too much about the modus operandi that worked at that time, but
they evidently had it in mind. It contains, by the way, sort of being put in an
ice cube state. It's quite nice. And by the way, the early Christian hell was
painted up as a hot hell and a cold hell. And you see the early Christian paintings
have guys up to theice cube up to the neck. Now, that's two hundredabout two
hundred A.D., you find them doing this.
Now, when you got down here to earth, there's probably a join-up line, and
then there is a seriesprobably, there's some overt acts here on earth, and overt
act facsimiles, and then there's present time.
But the incidents you're trying to run on a case are actually Heavy Facsimile
One and B.E. as the principal incidents, really. And don't get them mixed up here,
because there's B.T., Before Timeand you can reach this on a preclear by asking
"before time"and there's Facsimile One, which is back here someplace
(it's about a million years ago or a million, two hundred thousand years ago;
it varies from person to person, but it's in the order of magnitude of a million
years), and then there's rejection, B.E., being kicked off onto earth. And earth
is a hell and you're here, I guess, until you get reformed.
But there's a race existing right now out in outer space, and this race is
not very interested in younot very interested. And some of you, by the way,
without much trouble, can do a contact across, because some of your theta line
stayed out there.
But there are the incidents which you will find of principal interest in the
preclear, and these are the incidents which you will have to run out of the preclear
if you're going to take somebody off the top of the dial.
I'm sorry if it stretches your credulity. I do hope, however, that it doesn't
stretch it to the point where you won't operate on it.
