Clear is a condition of responsibility
and ability
 |
"You'll
never come along and take the magic syringe, hike up the fellow's
sleeve and go pfssst and have a Clear. You can't say
to the individual, 'Be three feet back of your ruddy 'ead,'
and have a Clear. Because a Clear is not a condition of being
out of your head or in your head or in this universe or out
of it; it's not a condition of location. It is a condition
of responsibility and it's a condition of ability. That's
what it's a condition of.
"But the earliest stages of processing are simply devoted
to letting it be found that he has had something to do with
his life. And when he is able to recognize that he's had a
lot to do with his life, he is then able to move up
to a point where he can have some responsibility for his life,
and at that time he starts to drop pieces of the GPM. He starts
to drop this, that; things start to key out. He does a little
bit better and he does a little bit better and he begins to
handle his associates, and so forth."

Success Congress lectures
Discovery of the "suppress" button
An article by L. Ron Hubbard
from the Clearing Success Congress lectures
The individualthe individual has a simple, singular,
obsessed method of not hurting. And he knows nothing about
the mind or anything like that, his method of not hurting
is to suppress it. You watch somebody; you watch somebody.
I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say you should make a general test
on this, but you take a cigarette butt and grind it out in
somebody's palm (you start to, you see) and they will immediately
grab their hand to stop the pain. I wouldn't make that test
if I were you.
The next time you see somebody pick up a hot teakettle, he
will go through two actions: He will go this way, and then
he will, some way or another, try to hold it still. He will
put it in motion and he'll try to hold it still. Maybe he'll
do both, you see? Nothing is happening, except you've just got
more engram, see?
The point I'm making here is the actual first impulse action
when the message known as pain starts creeping its insidious
way toward the thetan is for him to say, "No!"
Now, when an individual is in pain, agony, and so forth,
he is trying to stop it from hurting. Go around hospitals,
and you can always tell which guy hurts, see? He's the one
who looks all scrunched up. You could actually walk down a
whole series of beds in a hospital and say, "That one is in
pain. And that one isn't in pain. And that one's been drugged.
And that one's dead and..."
...
Now, the individual in handling pain or mental problems,
puts it away. Now, actually, we had it all the time, we've
had it in the Axioms. It's the "not-is" axiom, but this is
how you express it in English as well as Scientologese. Not-is.
He not-ises it, he says it doesn't exist. ...
This button is in common to all. "Well, I'll just forget
it. The best way to handle that, I'll just forget him. There
is no reason for me to sit here sadly and mope, I will just
forget him. Boohoo-hoo," you see? Bing!and then nothing,
nothing, nothing. See? She's got itgot it made. It's the
perfect way of becoming miserable.
If you want to have your whole past kick your head off, forget
it. That's the best possible way.
Now, this is, by the way, residual in hypnotism. The hypnotist
uses this, and of course we don't use any hypnotism in Dianetics
or Scientology. But knowledge is knowledge, and the hypnotist
knows this very well. He knows how to put a compulsion
in on somebody. He tells it to him and then makes him forget
it. And then after that, it goes off like an automatic button.
So if you want to put a person on total automatic so that
he can be restimulated at any time by anything, and so forth,
all you have to do is make him suppress.
All right. So this individual is in an automobile accident.
Now, if he didn't suppress things, a little while after the
accident, this memory of pain would run out, and it'd just
flow away. He'd heal up. I mean, we've proven this many times.
He'd just heal up in short order. ...
Well, this is because the suppression is off of it. That
is the main thing that has happened therethe suppression
is gone, that's all.
In other words, this individual would get well if he didn't
suppress. He has an accident. During the accident he suppresses
everything that's happening, suppresses all the pain that's
happening in the accident. And doing so, he, of course, arrests
time on the time trackhe stops time. He suppresses time
as well as anything else, and that, may I call to your attention,
is part of the physical universe: matter, energy, space and
time. Well, if he's going to suppress matter and energy and
other things, he's also going to suppress time. So, he (quote)
"stops himself on the time track" and he stops himself
right in the accident.

Success from listening
to the Congress lectures
"This lecture series is like opening up the core
of the reactive bank itself and taking a real close look."
"I've been such an ardent studier of LRH lectures over the years and I
was thrilled to get the new Clearing Success Congress as it had a lecture 'Basic
Purpose', which I had always wanted to listen to.
"The sound and material are great of course and having all those definitions,
colloquialisms, phrases, etc., so thoroughly and meticulously
done, right there in the back of the highly portable transcript
book for quick and easy access, is definitely key! This factor
alone considerably sped up the time it took to get through
the materials. These Congresses were obviously designed for
maximum quantity and quality of consumption!
"As to the first three lectures including and culminating
in 'Basic Purpose', this was just astounding! Here is what
I learned: the reactive mind at the most basic level; how
LRH unraveled and set forth the tech to clear it away for
all time and all people; how to actually stabilize the state
of Clear and thus open the door to OT; the major role that
responsibility plays in anyone's clearing; how any person's
first point of departure from the mad world is realizing he
has a hand in his existence; and that Clear is a condition
of responsibility and ability! Also how the road to Clear
is achieved by an ever increasing gradient of a person's ability
to confront and handle his existence, and the incredible role
basic purpose has assumed in a person's life, whole track
and case.
"Actually, this lecture series is like opening up the
core of the reactive bank itself and taking a real close look!
It's a very up-front look at the greatest rat-trap ever devised
and we all have (or had) one! For sure, after this series
you'll definitely have considerably less of one! I felt very
fresh, F/Ning and exterior after each lecture! Thank you to
COB for this awesome project and of course LRH!" K.C.
