The willingness to control...
"Now,
the difference between a good auditor and a bad auditor is
the willingness of the auditor to control. That is the result
that one auditor gets compared to the result some other auditor
gets with the same technique. It is not communication. It
is first and foremost, control. If he is able to or willing
to control his preclear, then the auditor plus the preclear
can control the circuits and aberrations of the preclear.
And an auditor who is not willing to and who cannot control
a preclear will have any techniqueno matter how brilliant
or well thought outtwist in his hands. Therefore, he
must know how to control people."
The Scale of Reality and making postulates stick
An article by L. Ron Hubbard
excerpted from the London Congress on Nuclear Radiation, Control & Health lectures
There is the Scale of Reality. It starts at the top with
a postulate, goes down into a continuing postulate (a consideration)
into that special continuing postulate called an agreement,
down into that special thing called a mass, down into terminal,
down into no-line, no-terminal.
And when you walk a person's reality upstairs with communication, it can then and therefore follow this track, and should follow this track. ...
You know, you can always get somebody to redo his postulates. You just change them around for him, but you can always do that.
But he now has the power to postulate. And woe betide the
enemies this person has, because ifif this postulatingness
continued on downscale below the level where it actually lives,
it would just be the saddest, sorriest world you ever heard
of if people at 1.5 could postulate and make it stick. And
they can't. Or if people at boredom could make their postulates
stick; they can't. They can make their postulates stick only
above the point where they always keep a bargain. Isn't that
an interesting commentary on man?
But to make a postulate stick it almost lays down thethis
is moralizing on what is only a scientific, technical scale.
If a person could make a postulate stick every time or change
a postulate at will, which we know is the best therapy there
is, he would also, always keep all of his agreements in all
directions, or could undo them when they were concluded. And
he would also be able to conceive and behold masses of any
and all kinds, and he would also be totally cognizant of any
and all lines at will. And he would also be totally cognizant
of periods of nothingness over which he still had control.
In other words, he'd have the whole of the Reality Scale in his grasp.
I'll go over it again.
It starts at the top with a postulate, then a continuing
postulate, and then below continuing a postulate comes agreement.
And we're now, just now, moving into the finite band, the
4.0 on down, when we say the reality of an object. Those people
normally havefrom 4.0 down, their greatest reality is
that objects are, and lines are.
And we move from there down to about 2.0, and here we fade
on down with a line, and less and less object, you see? Less
and less objects over here, and more and more line, until
we get into the minus Tone Scale, and there we have lines,
lines, lines... Where's a rope so I can hang myself, you know?
And then this goes on down to just nothing.
And that is the Reality Scale. And it tells us at once that
someone at the level of .1, you know, apathybody apathycomes
around, and he says, "You know, I've just made a postulate,
and the entire government is going to revolt tomorrow?" Don't
you believe it. That person's postulates don't stick. They
get frantic about them, and they try to tell you they do,
but they don't.
It is quite interesting, quite a fascinating view. It's as
though life had its own brakes, its own inhibitions, and it
safeguarded its abilities so that as a person loses these
abilities, and takes on other attributes, he is fortunate
to have lost the abilities from the viewpoint of the rest
of usin other words, at 1.5, sure as the dickens, better
not have the ability to postulate cleanly and clearly, or
people would start dropping dead all over the place.
But the way it's riggedand these things are just basically
considerations and agreements amongst the racethe way
it's rigged is by the time he gets down to that point, he
couldn't keep a contract.

Success from listening
to the Congress Lectures
"I am thoroughly enjoying listening to my lectures. Every
word that I have had to look up is in the glossary of terms,
which is awesome. I treasure these interludes of being with
LRHthey are the highlights of my days. One win I had
which came at the perfect time was that I was experiencing
a body problem and LRH spoke of granting life to people and
things or not granting life. I started to grant life to different
parts of my body and have had quite a considerable change
in my body as a result. Another great win was on having an
independent attitude toward life. This is incredible data.
The fact is that the only reason one 'agrees' with isness
is because of past postulates or bank. That datum alone made
me able to have an 'independent attitude' of my own determination
to create my own reality. This is so powerful. Having the
Golden Age of Knowledge has put me at cause on getting all
of LRH's tech. Up until now I have been overwhelmed by the
volume of books and lectures because I did not know where
to start, so I didn't. This has given me the doable gradient
to get the data in an organized fashion. It has put me at
cause in this area, which is a win of some magnitude!" M.G.
