Resisting the MEST universe…  
 

"Now, there's a rule of thumb used in the MEST universe which tells you at once what a facsimile is: If you want to trap him, make him resist it. Make him resist it and you've got him.

"A thetan, a life unit, starts resisting something—a thing—and that, if it is a MEST object, of course will resist back, because it is following the laws of MEST which are Newton's laws: inertia, interaction, acceleration. Life doesn't have to follow those laws at all, but it starts fighting MEST and it resists MEST and then MEST resists it. And then MEST, being inanimate and unthoughtful, can resist much harder than the individual can resist, and the next thing you know, the individual has accepted what he has resisted. Insidious."

The make-break point of the Tone Scale and eating…
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from the First International Congress of Dianeticists & Scientologists lectures

There's only one thing for which the whole universe punishes, there's only one punishment, one crime and that, in its fullest sense, is communicating. That's the one crime. Putting out an anchor point. (That's essentially communicating.) Putting out an anchor point is the one thing for which a person could get punished, which tells you why the people that get to the rank of general and admiral get there. It's traditional in every army and navy of a conservative country that a person is advanced in the ration that he doesn't do anything. If he commits no crimes, he gets there. And this isn't a criticism of it, it's just the way things operate. It's just the way things operate. It just happens that that's the way it is and they don't want to get well, and so we can't do anything about it, can we?

Well anyway, the only thing that is punishable is putting out an anchor point. And so, you can tell how often this person has been slugged, slapped, hit by the reluctance he has in putting out an anchor point. But there is another thing here at work: it is the remaining, the residual potential a person has in creation of energy. Some people have a tremendous energy-creation capacity. And these people can take an enormous slugging around without altering their communication level. That's because they're still up above that break on the Tone Scale. Although the energy-creation potential might be different—isn't necessarily, but might be different—for every individual on Earth, there is this similarity amongst all individuals: There is a point above which they create, manufacture and direct their own energy, and below which they depend upon energy from exterior sources before they can operate. That would be the make-break line.

On our Tone Scale I would hazard that this is well above 2.0. Because it is above eating. If you want to run shame out of your preclear, just run "the shame of eating," "the shame of having to eat." Because a being in a very cocky state of mind knows very well he can create enough energy to run this motor. And it's only when he goes down Tone Scale that he has to start eating. And he gets hectic.

You see, eating is getting the mock-up of somebody else and crowding it into close confines so as to drain the energy out of it. That's eating, that's stealing somebody else's mock-ups in order to go on living, and it's exterior energy. So there's a theoretical line above that—theoretical line above that by which a body would create enough energy to keep on going without eating. And I think the stomach feels the main shame about that, because this is where shame on eating shows up very remarkably. And I have run into little children that as soon as I processed out their general parental behavior around them—the behavior of the parents—particularly parents forcing them to eat, why, the child ceased to have any stomach trouble and also ceased to eat to amount to anything at all. You'd say, "What a tremendous efficiency rise this body has had. This child is now getting along on two glasses of milk and a couple of pieces of bread a day." Well, you figure it out chemically and you say, "Well, there's that many calories and there's this and if it were all drained down—there must be a lot more energy in milk that we thought there was, so that proves he's still getting…" But you see, there is a theoretical point where eating doesn't exist. Well, a person would be very high-toned, he wouldn't be desiring somebody else's mock-up."

Why are these lectures important?

In October 1953, more than 300 delegates gathered in Philadelphia for the First International Congress of Dianeticists & Scientologists, and in 13 lectures, Ron briefed them on all he had discovered about the abilities of OT, what it meant to them personally and how the planet would never be the same.

These lectures contain the entire point and purpose behind "OT hatting": to learn to use one's true abilities, extrovert one's attention and assume a vital role in a universe of action. Here is how one can rise above thinking to the ability to pervade, to extend anchor points and make space, to replenish energy at will and to assume a vital role in a universe of action.

This is the first series where Ron lays out the actions and postulates for a new civilization on Earth.

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

  • How to breathe "the fire of life" into a group
  • How to get anyone to create space and extend anchor points, no matter what shape they're in
  • How to exteriorize a person with scenery
  • What television does to your anchor points
  • How can you tell, in a few seconds, who to hire and who to fire
  • How low-toned people take space away from you
  • The two levels of thought which make up the paradox called man
  • Why a being starts thinking
  • How the bank soaks up a thetan's energy
  • Ron answers questions on everything from "bodies in pawn" to exteriorization and anchor points to vitamins and even economics
  • How different people react to the command to "be three feet back of your head" and the impact this can create on a being
  • Ron describes the role of a Scientologist™ in the society, with the eight things a Scientologist should be doing to raise the level of the culture and create a better civilization
  • He shows you how to get into action in life, assist the society around you, spark other minds, encourage creativity, and make a better civilization in which to live

This and much more are answered in the First International Congress of Dianeticists & Scientologists.

You get 13 lectures on CD with transcripts, glossary and a supplement of related issues from the time period. The supplement also contains a master index, covering both lectures and references.

Success story from listening to these lectures:

"I now understand why people are doing what they are doing…"

"The biggest win I got was understanding people better. This is what I want as an executive and this really put me in a place of understanding so that it actually handled a huge ruin in my life. This was the use of force. I now understand why people are doing what they are doing in terms of energy and I am no longer enturbulated about it."
