Immortality...  
 

"Why was it that the invalidation of a past death produced such a terrific sag in tone? Well, that's very simple. Immortality, survival, is the answer. If a person runs a past death or a past life which he is certain and incontrovertibly knows is completely real and that it happened, he all of a sudden is holding in his two hands a proof of his own immortality, and it consequently reduces the fear of death very markedly.

"What is the fear of death derived from? The fear of death is not derived from pain, but only from the 'fact' that you only live once, that you are finite and that the future is very uncertain. But when a person runs a past life that he knows is real, he all of a sudden realizes it goes out for a long time into the future too, and it goes out for a long time into the past. And he's pretty hard to handle in terms of control if he has high reality on past lives. Why? Because what's the worst thing you can do to him? The worst thing you can do to him is kill him."

"Before Time"
An article by L. Ron Hubbard

Now, the race to which we are native—the theta line to which we are native—was actually highly mystic. It was capable of a lot of things—telepathy, teleportation, odds and ends, stuff—and concentrated rather heavily in that.

This invader race came in and says—with a lot of electronics and said, "Boys, all you've got to do is take this little jim-dandy whizzer*, and you know, you will be twice as 'thetesque' as before."

They sold you all a bill of goods, and evidently we didn't penetrate their minds, their thoughts or their intentions. Because one right after the other—bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—they knocked us off. They knocked us off with a very simple apparatus, and that simple apparatus consisted of something that went around your head and across the top of your head and under your chin—under your throat—and back of your head. And everything pointed at the pineal. They turned on the juice and something came in the middle of the head toward the pineal, three points on the top of the head toward the pineal, from under the throat up at the pineal, from the back of the head into the pineal and from the sides of the jaws into the pineal. In other words, every point of entrance toward the pineal was hit suddenly and hard and very excruciatingly.

The net result: the pineal gland, which at that time occupied what you had as a skull and was practically all the skull there was, practically folded up. And your mystic powers more or less went by the boards.

Then you went ahead and dramatized it, and there are a lot of overt acts on it. And pretty soon you got so bad as a race that—perhaps you were elsewhere by this time—you were hauled up—oh, some long, long, long, long time later, maybe even a million years later—you eventually wound up before another crew. And this other crew said, "We don't want you around anymore, and we're going to send you to jail." And so they packaged you up and shipped you off, and that is an incident we call Before Earth—B.E. That's Before Earth. And they shipped you off and you wound up here. And all they did was transport your theta line here, and you joined in on the MEST body line here.

I don't know too much about the modus operandi that worked at that time, but they evidently had it in mind. It contains, by the way, sort of being put in an ice cube state. It's quite nice. And by the way, the early Christian hell was painted up as a hot hell and a cold hell. And you see the early Christian paintings have guys up to the—ice cube up to the neck. Now, that's two hundred—about two hundred A.D., you find them doing this.

Now, when you got down here to earth, there's probably a join-up line, and then there is a series—probably, there's some overt acts here on earth, and overt act facsimiles, and then there's present time.

But the incidents you're trying to run on a case are actually Heavy Facsimile One and B.E. as the principal incidents, really. And don't get them mixed up here, because there's B.T., Before Time—and you can reach this on a preclear by asking "before time"—and there's Facsimile One, which is back here someplace (it's about a million years ago or a million, two hundred thousand years ago; it varies from person to person, but it's in the order of magnitude of a million years), and then there's rejection, B.E., being kicked off onto earth. And earth is a hell and you're here, I guess, until you get reformed.

But there's a race existing right now out in outer space, and this race is not very interested in you—not very interested. And some of you, by the way, without much trouble, can do a contact across, because some of your theta line stayed out there.

But there are the incidents which you will find of principal interest in the preclear, and these are the incidents which you will have to run out of the preclear if you're going to take somebody off the top of the dial.

I'm sorry if it stretches your credulity. I do hope, however, that it doesn't stretch it to the point where you won't operate on it.

—L. Ron Hubbard, from the lecture PRINCIPAL INCIDENTS ON THE THETA LINE

Blow the lid off whole track memory

Why are these lectures important?

The breakthroughs presented here signal a crucial turning point in man's understanding of himself and his place in the universe. Here is nothing less than the empirical discovery of the human soul and the launch of a new subject to study its full nature, capabilities and potentials: Scientology® technology.

Here is the description of how Ron used the first E-meter™ to uncover and chart the "theta line" — that timeless, spaceless influence that animates, motivates, controls and forms Matter, Energy Space and Time. Here are the breakthroughs which shattered the "one life" lie that had trapped mankind, revealing the "whole track" of spiritual existence.

Scientology is "the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, universes and other life." And this is the lecture series where it all began.

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

  • How you can be in more than one place at one time
  • Mysticism, magic and religion, and why they failed to find the answers
  • What the difference is between the genetic line and the theta line
  • How Ron's fiction stories relate to whole track recall
  • What happened to you "before Earth" and why were you sent here
  • How to win over a 1.5 or a 1.1 just with your body motions alone
  • The difference between having faith and being faith
  • How a being deals with motion at various levels of the Tone Scale
  • The fourteen characteristics of theta
  • How the body is built and animated
  • Where "fear of death" comes from
  • The source of "ringing in the ears"
  • What Facsimile One is
  • How "constructive" criticism reduces an individual's self-determinism
  • What trick thought is doing in the material universe
  • Why you have to go earlier lifetimes in auditing
  • The goal of Scientology and how to reach Milestone One — complete ability
  • The steps up to Milestone One — knowledge of the mind, knowledge of the physical universe — and how they interact

For the first time in the history of this universe you can find out the answers to these questions. They are all contained in the Scientology: Milestone One lectures.

You get 22 lectures on CD with transcripts, glossary and a supplement of related issues from the time period. To aid your study of this series, glossaries at the back of each transcript booklet define the terms used in those lectures. The supplement contains a master glossary and index, covering both lectures and references.

Success story from listening to these lectures:

"You can't possibly be the same when you find out…"

"Ron tells us the real reason we arrived here on earth, where we came from and how we lost the powers we had. You can't possibly be the same when you find out and you MUST find out. My personal win on this series is I blew what I thought was a permanent state of anxiety—a daily knot in my stomach which is now GONE. I could never trace down the source of this nervousness but learning the data in these lectures was so powerful it just blew. It was a miracle!" —J.L.
