Only a valence can pin people down...

"I think it’d be safe to have people be themselves. I sometimes feel very lonely in this opinion. But it is – it’s safe to have people be themselves.

"Of course, it takes a certain amount of nerve to actually get in and unbale the valences to see what’s there. And you nearly always, even in taking a couple of valences off, find a better guy.

"And when you take them all off, you find a powerhouse….

"Only valences keep people pinned down to one dynamic or two dynamics. Because a valence can’t be expansive. A valence is a narrowing and a blunting."

L. Ron Hubbard

Valences

An article by L. Ron Hubbard
from the Melbourne Congress lectures

Until you change a preclear’s valence, you don’t change the pc.

If auditing could shed valences easily, you could change a graph, the responses of a pc to life, his ability to handle his environment, with great ease. If you could change his valence!

If you could keep pulling valences off of him until you dug him up – and when you got him dug up you’d find you had quite a person. And that’s the person that’ll register high on a graph and stay there.

There are many ways of defining or looking at Clear. But technically, the best way of looking at Clear is not in terms of a bunch of mechanics. It’d just be whether or not the person had become himself. Then you’d say he’d be Clear.

Now, if that self which was uncovered, unblunted, straightened out, was then improved to a point where he could, you know, relax and say, "Well, I dare reach as myself to a considerable distance and I dare actually progress," and so forth, you’d have an OT.

That’s a very simple way of looking at Clear. Just sweep away these mechanical ideas and say, "Well, we’ve gotten the fellow to be himself, unimpeded by superimpressed personalities."

And that’s the fate of somebody who loses himself. He gets a valence over the top of that and he doesn’t like that one, so he gets another valence over the top of that one because he doesn’t like that one, and he gets a valence over the top of the next one because he doesn’t like – and he doesn’t like that one, so he gets another valence. And you’ve got some sort of a mysterious series of concentric spheres here – just valence after valence after valence – package personalities, each one of these. Each one is a package personality. It’s reactions are so-and-so and such-and-such.

You can always expect somebody who has attended Oxford – just to get the tone – to, in the face of emergencies say, “There is none.” Immediate response. That’s what that valence says. It says, “There are no emergencies,” see?

Roof falls in. The floor goes out from under him and he’s supposed to say something like, “Bit of a disturbance, what?”

He’s supposed to have responsibilities in certain directions and be irresponsible in other directions. He’s supposed to be made happy by certain things and unhappy by other things. And he gets a whole carload of “now-I’m-supposed-to’s.” And at any given stimuli he has a pat response. And you can play on him like a player piano, you know. Put the roller in and start pumping the pedals. And you’ll play the same tune every time!

—L. Ron Hubbard

This lecture is available in the Melbourne Congress lectures.

Success from listening to the Congress Lectures

"These lectures enabled me to remove criticism from myself as a being and restored my self determinism to create as an artist, as an individual, and as just plain old me. These LRH lectures validated me as a being and validated my ability to create. I no longer have the introversions I used to have on the subject of reaching out with my creations and I feel certain of my own beingness." – E.E.

"I personally became much closer to Ron by getting to know about his life and experienced how he got things done – how OT! In addition to all this I discovered from Ron the Dynamic Principle of Existence in Scientology and it wasn’t what I thought, wow! My life is in my own hands and I am free to mock it up the way I want it." – H.L.

History is made
in Australia

"The fate of any piece of knowledge man has ever been able to learn about himself, his society or this universe has sooner or later become subservient to some special interest with a curve on it to make more slaves.

"And this is one time when as long as I’ve got words in my mouth and breath in my thetan – this is one time when that curve isn’t going to happen."L. Ron Hubbard, from the Melbourne Congress

A landmark Congress… a pivotal responsibility… an epic role in the future of Earth – all a part of Ron’s personal address to Australian Scientologists.

With auditor training courses standardized, clearing technology in broad use and a central dissemination center now established at Saint Hill, Ron embarked on a round-the-world tour to now ensure the stability of all Scientology organizations.

But that tour was only a small steppingstone towards a far grander destination he'd set his sights upon: Operating Thetan. And that's why his first stop was Australia as the necessary base in the Southern Hemisphere, far away from the potential fallout of East and West warmongers.

Here, then, is his message to Australian Scientologists on a responsibility they hold to this day as a last safe harbor. Here, too, is Ron's deeply personal story of how he first forged a bond with Australia when serving as a US Naval Officer through the Second World War.

But while that was, of course, present-life history, it became fully whole track as Ron next made his first public announcement of Recent Developments on OT. And drawing from the whole tangled history of thetans, he reveals the mechanism of how deep-seated aberration reverses the cycle-of-action in a being—moving one from "create" to "destroy." Moreover, Ron had found the answer and it was summed up in a single word: Responsibility.

It was a breakthrough that would open the gateway to OT, and here is where it first began.
