break a really rough case
in 20 or 25 hours at the outside change
it utterly. And I can change a chronic
somatic in half an hour.
I can make kids walk in a few
minutes who were crippled." LRH
HISTORY OF THIS SERIES
So wrote L. Ron Hubbard from Seville, Spain in the Summer
of 1953. In the three whirlwind years since publication of
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, the
technology had advanced to miracle level. Ron had solved the
problem of human aberration and psychosomatic illness. More
than that, he had demonstrated for the first time, with certainty,
what Man had only speculated on and hoped for: the true nature
of every individual as a spiritual being. Having discovered
and mapped out the full potentialities of a being at Operating
Thetan in the Philadelphia Doctorate Course, Scientology
8-8008 and The Factors, Ron now faced the task
of making those potentials a reality. Auditing techniques
had to be codified, books had to be written and materials
to train auditors required assembly. Thus Ron set to work,
in Europe, preparing the needed curriculums and texts.
Upon his return to America in late September, nearly 400
delegates gathered in Philadelphia for the First International
Congress of Dianeticists & Scientologists. Throughout
five days of lectures, seminars and meetings, they received
not only an overview of research from the earliest days, but
the growth of Dianetics and Scientology in society: "The
true achievement is in its application and its use as a tool
by which the culture of Man can be improved from the mere
barbarism which he now enjoys where he can be lifted from
a level of war and famine and pestilence, of crooked courts,
of predatory governments, sanctimonious religions and raw
barbarianism under a hundred thousand guises."
Nevertheless, as Ron continued:
"Here on Earth there is an opportunity to construct
a civilization such as Earth has not before enjoyed. A tool
has been provided by which this can be done. The application
of this tool, not its invention, is the goal. That the forging
of the tool has come to a successful conclusion does not mean
that the job is concluded."
To bring that goal to fruition, Ron emphasized the need for
smooth organizational action and cooperation. He enumerated
the functions any Scientologist ought to carry forward in
society, functions which, through action, answer the
question, "What is a Scientologist?"
This Congress, then, spans the breadth of Ron's research
from techniques that exteriorize a being as given in Standard
Operating Procedure 8 (SOP 8), to the means by which a Scientologist
can instill into society the finer qualities of cooperation,
love, goodness, mercy and justice.
THE LECTURES
The First International Congress of Dianeticists &
Scientologists includes 15 lectures complete with transcripts,
an extensive glossary and a guide of key LRH references and
scales which relate to the series. The master glossary in
the guide covers both the lectures and the issues.
1. THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
OF DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY
"We can sum up the whole
of processing in a sentence: Don't think, look! That's Scientology.
That's all there is to it: Don't think, look."
LRH
Ron opens by orienting them to his foremost concern in this
Congress, which is to put into the hands of the attendees
a simplicity with which they can achieve a maximal effect.
Then, to put the entire Congress into perspective he summarizes
the history of Dianetics and then described the social experiment
he conducted in 1950 to determine what it would take to introduce
workable technology on this planet and how to establish the
acceptance level of an individual or society at large. Introducing
the datum, "Don't think, look!" he notes the follies
of a society that thinks of solutions to problems rather
than looking at the problems, and then speaks of the
real solutions to this condition and thereby the means
to raise Man above thinking. Finally, he summarizes
the history of Dianetics and Scientology in these words: "It
is simply the history of Life trying to turn around and go
upstream again."
2. THE ELEMENTS OF THE PROBLEM
"A being or an entity which
is immortal and which cannot do anything but survive is made
to fight like mad because it is afraid it can't. It is utterly
impossible for a thetan to do anything but survive.
And so we have to add some duress to it. As soon as you recognize
that, the problem will fall apart in your hands."
LRH
Here Ron explores the main paradox or enigma of life, why
life sets out to do one thing and ends up doing the reverse
- one postulates honesty, justice and love, and ends up with
betrayal, injustice and war. With detailed definitions of
matter, energy, space and time, Ron shows that the solution
lies in none of these things, but instead in the "wild
variable" of the human spirit.
3. PROCESSING AND ITS GOALS
"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."
LRH
Here Ron describes the "rule of thumb" by which
the MEST universe traps thetans, and how one gets facsimiles.
He shows how a being can turn the table on the MEST universe
and thus undo its traps and why a thetan is no longer able
to keep his facsimiles at bay. And with a simple set of actions,
he tells you how you can tell, in just a few seconds, who
to hire or not.
4. THE MOST FAVORABLE PROCESSES
"This universe specializes
in data. We're not interested as much in data as we're interested
in results, because a collection of data is only an examination
of the past and we're interested in predicting a future. And
if we're interested in predicting a future, then it's obvious
that the best way to predict the future is to make it."
LRH
Here are the two levels of thought which make up the paradox
called Man and how a person becomes trapped by the "must
do's" and "can't do's" of stimulus-response
computation. Ron explains why a being starts thinking and
how the bank soaks up a thetan's energy, and finally, how
to raise a person from the level of think to an ability
to have and handle energy.
5. DEMONSTRATION: THE USE OF Q AND A
"You'll find the most remarkable
things about MEST objects. They stick harder than people because,
of course, they're bigger masses of energy; they're thicker,
harder masses of energy." LRH
Ron gives a short demonstration of processing on Q and A,
showing it is a rote procedure and explaining the various
aspects of this technology.
6. SOP 8: STEPS VI AND VII
"You're dealing with quantity
of energy which he himself and he himself alone can furnish
and replenish! It can't be shot to him with a needle."
LRH
Here is exactly why an inability to see differences, similarities
and identities results in aberration, solidarity and in MEST
itself, and how this is resolved in processing. He describes
how to get anyone to create space and extend anchor points,
and why you hand the book Self Analysis to an alcoholic.
Discussing certain principles that work with animals, very
small children and psychotics, Ron shows why they work and
how to use them.
7. SOP 8: STEPS IV AND V
"The only energy which the
mind has in it is the energy which the mind has generated.
And even when somebody reaches in and blows up somebody's
ridge or something of the sort, the energy which is recorded
again is simply the energy of the energy of the preclear being
recorded by the preclear's energy." LRH
Ron explains the cycle of action of the MEST universe, the
anatomy of explosions, and what this has to do with a thetan's
entry into and existence in the MEST universe. Here is the
way to remedy a scarcity of energy, admiration, work and even
pain, and why a thetan considers he is "nothing."
8. SOP: ADDITIONAL MATERIAL
"We're actually dealing with
a tremendous simplicity right now. We don't have to go very
deep into large descriptions concerning the vague theory of
the epiglottis and how it matches up against the facsilium.
No, just anchor points and a little exercise with anchor points
will tell you that it's a tremendously effective technique
just anchor points, handling of." LRH
Here Ron discusses the various "cures" for disturbed
people down the ages from the drugs used by the ancient
Greeks of the Aesculapian temple, to the whips of Bedlam and
"modern-day" psychiatry and their complete
ineffectiveness. He explains how very simply we can arrest
the dwindling spiral of an entire culture.
9. SOP: STEPS I, II AND III
"Your low-level case just
can't be in various geographical locations. The truth of the
matter is, he's been blown out of too many of them by explosions.
Or he's blown too many people out of them with explosions
that kicked back on him." LRH
Here Ron takes up several factors which affect exteriorization
including energy starvation and why people react differently
to the command to "be three feet back of your head"
and the impact this can have on a being. From here he moves
on to how to open the door to fixing up a body or a
person's
life.
10. SOP 8: SHORT 8
"An auditor processing a
group is actually processing an organism. And the group, to
some degree, responds as an organism." LRH
Ron describes the basic law about what a person can have
and what he has to waste. How to breathe "the fire of
life" into a group and how to get people to look and
thus start taking charge off the MEST universe. Lastly, here
is how to exteriorize a being using scenery.
11. SIX STEPS TO BETTER BEINGNESS
"Don't think that a 50 percent
introversion and a 50 percent extroversion is optimum. We
want a maximum of about 2 percent introversion and about 98
percent extroversion." LRH
Ron defines introversion and extroversion and the gradient
scale between them, explaining how one can extrovert, dynamic
by dynamic, in an expanding perimeter, by knocking off the
causes of introversion. Here also is what television does
to a person's anchor points, and how low-toned people take
space away from you.
12. THE USES AND FUTURE OF SCIENTOLOGY
" 'What is a Scientologist?'
I would say he was somebody who brought light and humanity
to Man and his sciences because Man neglected to bring humanity
in when he brought in science." LRH
Ron describes the difference between low-toned "love"
and upscale "admiration," and how to spot manifestations
of this in life. He gives a detailed description of the role
of the 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.
13. PROCESSES FOR ROUGH CASES
"It is very, very interesting
to note that as simple as these processes are and as far as
they will go, that you'll get many people who will not accept
the simplicity of process. They know the mind is more
complicated than this. They have such a terrific certainty
on this that to shake them off this certainty is as much as
your life is worth." LRH
Here is how to handle those who think of cause as in the
past, and bring them to cause in the present. Here also is
why it is that the only way out of this universe is through.
14. QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD, PART I
Ron answers questions on everything from "bodies in
pawn" to exteriorization and anchor points, to vitamins
and even economics.
15. QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD, PART II
Ron covers the training of athletes, resolving energy starvation,
how to process groups of children, and definitions of terminal,
anchor point, dimension point and viewpoint.
