Using force to create morality...  
 

"Now, the Operating Thetan would be the ability also to operate in this universe—to operate as a thetan, to exist as a thetan, to observe and cause effects in this universe as a thetan. What effects? Well, fortunately, one couldn't get up to the point of causing effects until he got up to an ethic level which would inhibit his causing very bad effects.

"It's just like the question of morality. You take away all the factors, all of the duress, threat and force, which are supposed to keep somebody intensely, oh, just intensely moral! And where do we find them? We find them down in the boys' home for immoral and depraved youths.

"Well, why is it that we find the preacher's son the worst example in the community? Why is this? This is interesting, isn't it? Tells you that the use of force to create morality does not apparently do so. In fact, the use of force doesn't create much of anything except more force.

"Well, a person has to be up above the level of penalty to attain a state where he can be ethical. Very well."

The hidden influence
An article by L. Ron Hubbard, from The Factors: Admiration & the Renaissance of Beingness lectures

Now, would you specialize in live things or MEST universe things? Well, the MEST universe falls under this classification: It is in the category of giving no attention, receiving no attention, and not noticing any attention. And therefore it is the terminal which the individual will fight unsuccessfully every time.

There's only one direction, in absence of processing, that a person can go in the MEST universe, and that is out the bottom. And that is because it does not give him the attention which he gives it. So therefore, he sticks—the MEST universe sticks everybody on a one-way flow of attention; and the attention is never given back. And this stuff is just like sponge. You put admiration into this stuff and it just goes slurp—real hungry. And you'd have to be able to make an awful lot of admiration to make very much of this stuff disappear. I imagine if you sat still for a year or so and poured admiration through here, you could probably have a four-inch hole bored through the wall. But you'd have to be pretty good at it. You see?

Now, to stay out of flows, to stay out of this manifestation known as communication lines, get him into present time as best you can, and handle him from there, this technique is definitely recommended. And it is a technique which apparently is almost nonsense as a technique, and it's terribly simple. But it—and nail this down, know this now—that by changing his beingness, you will change his communication level. You're trying to produce a change in a preclear, aren't you? Well, you're trying to change his being then, aren't you? The best test of changing his being is did he get a communication change? You can measure that easily, you can say, "Well, he sees better." That tells you that you've improved his beingness....

And you walk a little bit further down and you fell in a hole and that wasn't a snake that hit you in the head. Because the one thing that will always get you in the end is the MEST universe, and therefore you have to be able to love it very dearly. If you don't love it very dearly, you can't control it worth a darn, because it's something that is composed of fighting terminals. And it is composed to deny you any possible admiration, while you give it all.

Guys will get fixed on this universe, and they'll look at nothing else but this universe, and this a very, very, very horribly sad fact—terrible fact that life in as high a form as man gets so aberrated by the presence of MEST that man hasn't got enough sense to realize that his dramatizations against man are immediately derivable from his reactions from the MEST universe. In other words, the reason he hates man is because the MEST universe hates him.

Who can salvage man? Man can. So he's running around—so he's running around hating and spitting and having an awful time and giving no admiration like mad. Well, what's the contagious factor? It would be the source of all hidden influences, which is itself the hidden influence; it's the sixth dynamic, the MEST universe.

Youeverybody knows it's people that aberrated them. Everybody knows it's people that did this! Well, if everybody knows that, you can be darn sure it isn't true....

Why do they work like this? Well, they work like this on Homo sapiens because he's on a flat-plane surface on Earth. He's on a sphere, here, and he's concentrated this way. In other words, to turn on this sort of thing you getyou find out the Sun doesn't admire you, it sunburns you. And you find out the earth doesn't admire you, it kicks you in the feet sometimes, it gives you a good hard slap. The tools don't admire you, and yet you're working from them below and you're expecting something to look up at you or back again and it never does, and so you just work more and more and more and get less and less admiration for it and eventually, why, you just sort of spin in....

And if this preclear gets that starved for attention, he is practically on his way to becoming a piece of the MEST universe because the MEST universe got there by being starved for attention.

Recreate your home universe!

Why are these lectures important?

In one brief statement: these were the very breakthroughs that bridged Ron's research from the potentials of OT expressed in the Philadelphia Doctorate Course to the actualities of exterior OT ability only one year later.

LRH covers basic laws of the universe of theta, laws literally senior to anything, and reveals these OT fundamentals and explains in detail their sweeping command over all existence — even to the creation of the physical universe itself.

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

  • What effect the sun, moon and other planets have on a body
  • What money is, what laws it follows, and how one starts a money flow
  • How to control things by being them
  • How you can measure someone's sanity with a stopwatch
  • Why people like to read bad news in newspapers, not good news
  • What would happen if you brought a body all the way to present time
  • What do you have to do to be able to see as a thetan
  • Why you can't understand people without being willing to be them
  • How one becomes trapped by facsimiles and untrapped by knowledge
  • How to understand anything by being rather than thinking
  • The physics of anchor points
  • The dismantling of barriers with admiration
  • The creation of space using "flitter"
  • Why you need two of anything, including engrams
  • The relationship between sex, eating and death
  • What's wrong with "correcting" a child — or anyone
  • The first law of beingness
  • Why you can bog down trying to "explain Scientology"

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 Factors: Admiration & the Renaissance of Beingness lectures.

There are 18 lectures in this series, on CD, and they come with complete and verified transcripts and an extensive glossary. This series also comes with a supplement booklet containing key LRH™ references which relate to the series and are vital to a full understanding.

Success story from listening to these lectures:

"Life becomes grand, more aesthetic and worthwhile…"

"Admiration is so powerful it can as-is ANY unwanted situation. I didn't really have that viewpoint before I listened to these lectures, but now I do. Life becomes grand, more aesthetic and worthwhile. I also handled an unwanted situation in my life by flowing admiration to it and a person connected to the unwanted situation. Just by doing what it said in the lectures blew the problem away, and in its place I put something I created — something theta and productive!" —B.M.
