STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology
Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet.

The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of
Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists.  It misuses the
copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom.

They think that all freezoners are "squirrels" who should be
stamped out as heretics.  By their standards, all Christians,
Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered
to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion.

The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings
of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity.

We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according
to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against.

But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews,
the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old
testament regardless of any Jewish opinion.

We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion
as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures
without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists.

We ask for others to help in our fight.  Even if you do
not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope
that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose
to aid us for that reason.

Thank You,

The FZ Bible Association

SOP 5 LONG FORM STEP VI

Philadelphia Doctorate Course
23 January 1953

[Start of Lecture]

This is the second lecture of January the twenty-third, London.
We have a question here which has come up many, many times, I
have answered before, but perhaps the tapes on which that has
been answered are not part of curriculum. That is to say, what is
the relationship between Standard Operating Procedure 5, Steps I
down to VII, and the tone scale? The answer to that is none: no
relationship. Why is this? Well, that's because we have a series
(as Stanley just remarked here) we have a series of methods which
will undo every postulate a thetan can make. That's right. And
those postulates, as we go down the line, add up to various
manifestations. Now we've got a structural manifestation, and
Standard Operating Procedure 5s, particularly Steps I to V, undo
the postulates which become a structural manifestation.

He is in a body and isn't out of the body. He doesn't have much
space; he has too much space. And all of this, right down the
line. You see, that's structural. Look at it, at this line:
structural.

And let's look at the tone scale as a functional manifestation of
behavior. You see, what gets a person into any one of these
positions on the tone scale? It's actually a decline of self-
determinism. The tone scale is nicely worked out, a decline of
self-determinism, where he is more and more determined by other
things and less and less determined by himself. ARC: these are
various behavior manifestations, and they are plotted on the tone
scale from top to bottom. So we have the tone scale.

Now, a thetan actually is the result of his own postulates and
postulates which have been foisted off on him. Now, we could have
an infinite combination of postulates which would result in an
infinite number of structural manifestations.

We've patterned, then, Standard Operating Procedure 5 to undo
postulates.

These postulates get people into certain structural shape. You
see that? I mean, he's in his head and he can't get out. He
thinks he's all over the place, and he's not. His ideas of
location, in other words, and his ideas of creation and
destruction are not necessarily his ideas of self-determinism.
Standard Operating Procedure 5 then is a list of things which add
up to application, which undoes every possible postulate.

There are theta I's (thetans that are at the level of I) who are
at -4.0 on the tone scale. Don't think that a I is high toned. A
I can be strictly a fruitcake. Don't think he's high toned. He's
better off, maybe, in terms of immediate processing, but that's
an accident.

It just happens his postulates that are in restimulation, and his
decisions and his viewpoints and so forth -- in other words, how
many ways can a person lose his self-determinism? Well, he can
lose his self-determinism in lots of ways, and we have a
codification of these ways he can do this. And that's Standard
Operating Procedure 5.

What's the structural result of this? That's taken care of in
Standard Operating Procedure 5.

What's the behavior manifestation of this? Tone scale.

How's he behave? is then different than How is he composed? How
is he doing these things structurally that he's misbehaving
about? Well, you see, you could do these things a lot of
different ways.

Of course, you understand that there is a vague parallel between
these two things. You'll less likely find a V at 20.0. It's less
likely that you'll find a V at 20.0. It's more likely that you
would find a I at 20.0; just more likely, but not necessarily
true.

What we have is a pattern of case and a series of techniques, and
that's why Standard Operating Procedure 5 is a very superior
technique of application. You get him to I, and then you do the
other four. It's interesting, isn't it? You do all of them; you
do all of them.

And we could -- we could call these things A, B, C, D, E, we
could call these techniques, we could say that the fellow who
could step out of his head is a -- is a V. We could juggle these
things any way that we want to.

And if you'll notice, the tone scale is numbered in one direction
and the Standard Operating Procedure 5 is numbered in the
opposite direction. That is partially an effort to get you to
disassociate the two. So don't be -- don't be too impressed by
the preclear who is a I. And don't be too upset about the
preclear who is a V, in terms of behavior.

What establishes the thing on the tone scale? How much self-
determinism is this person exerting? Well, you see, there are
inequalities amongst thetans -- apparent inequalities -- based,
again, on postulates which have limited them. So you have these
apparent inequalities, and it's evidently true then that every
thetan has a different horsepower than every other thetan. Why?
He's got a different series of postulates. A postulate is
completely random. You can make any kind of a postulate you want
to make, and that will then result in behavior which you witness
in the preclear. It will also -- it will represent itself two
ways: he'll go way down scale in terms of behavior, and he will
go into a strange structural relationship with bodies.

You know, there are probably 0.0s who are flying around the
universe like mad, completely free. It's just -- you see, we're
dealing with a special commodity: we're dealing with a thetan in
relationship to a body. We're not dealing with the tone scale.
We're trying to get somebody out of a body and then straighten
him up as a thetan.

Once you've got him out of a body, you have to do just as many
things with him as a thetan as when he was in the body. And you
will. You'll find out he'll run very rapidly over the 5 steps as
a thetan out of the body because he hasn't got all the other
thetans and entities and things in the body arguing against his
doing these things, that's all. So he does these steps quite
rapidly out of the body.

You'll have to do them all over again. You've got a V. All right,
now we'll take this V and then we'll do all the steps for a V and
then we do the steps for a IV and then we do the steps for a III
and then we do the steps for a II -- oh, he gets out of his body!
Well, fine, now he's out of his body; that's great. Now let's do
all the steps for a V and all the steps for a IV, and all the
steps for a III and a II and a I.

Main reason why we have lengthened this process and made a long
form is we want to be sure, we want to be sure. And the best way
to be sure is to take all possible combinations and then do them.
And we don't care whether this fellow apparently needs the
process of IV. He was a I -- he stepped out of his body. He says,
"I feel wonderful."

You say, "Okay. Now let's start in on the mock-up of the old
home."

"Hey, wait a minute, that's a Step IV. I know your procedure, I
read a book once."

And you say, "Now, that's fine, mock up the----"

"But I'm out of my body. Are you doubting I'm out of my body?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know you're out of your body, that's just fine.
Mock up your home."

So he does. He finds out he tears through these manifestations,
because all of a sudden he says, "You know, all I have to do is
change a postulate on that, make a new postulate on that, do
this, do that." Zing-zing-zing. Fine, fine. He's just going like
mad when he's doing these processes out of his body, and he does
them very slowly inside his body.

So, you'll find out your I, then, is going to be rather upset
when you say, "All right. Now you're out of your body, you're up
in the corner of the room, that's fine. You know you're there,
everything is oriented, the room is perfectly visible. Put a
black spot on the wall." Nyrrrrrrr!

Therefore, you really should know in advance that in the body or
out of the body -- wherever -- he's got to do all of these steps,
and if he did them all in the body then he's got to do them out
of the body too.

So a fellow who is in the body solidly at V, and he's in the body
at V and has to have V undone, sooner or later on the rest of the
steps is going to get out of the body, at which time he has to go
back over the track again. So it's a little bit longer process,
that's all. But let's be very thorough and when we say somebody
is a theta clear, let's make that distinctly different than a
thetan exterior. This person can get out of his body and he knows
it: Good, that's a thetan exterior. I'm sorry to have to shift
definitions around, but it's because of the trouble we're having.
People are astral walking these days and saying, "I'm a theta
clear." Well, they're not; they're about as clear as the smog
we've just had.

You go down here to the insane asylum and, boy, I can show you
more I's. Just walk down the line and say, "Be two feet back of
your head. Be two feet back of your head. Be two feet back of
your head." Yeah, sure, they'll be two feet back of their head.
Because what postulate causes insanity? Is it a condition of
thisas and thatas and so forth?

It's a postulate that causes insanity. You see, it doesn't matter
how long it took or how fast a person became or how slow a person
became crazy. It doesn't matter how long it took. He might have
taken eight hundred thousand years to finally go crazy, or he
might have gone crazy in a split millisecond. The point is, he's
nuts! That's the point, and that's what the tone scale says to
you. It says he's at this level because that's his behavior.

Now, you ask these people when they're out of their body, "All
right, now, let's get the time when you made the decision to be
crazy." Well, they make this decision to be crazy all the time,
it's just a repetitive cycle; because that's the way to be safe
and not be punished anymore, is to say, "I can't do anybody any
damage." And that's the postulate which makes people go mad. "I
can't die and convince you, so therefore I just am going to
convince you, that's all. I'll convince you that I'm completely
non compos mentis and... Look at the way I act. I do all these
various things and..."

And then doctors look for a pattern of insanity. Oh no! You might
as well look for a pattern of postulates. How far would you get
with a pattern of postulates? Let's look for the standard pattern
of postulates. Oh no, you don't. You can look for a progressive
approximation of the track of agreement, because you're dealing
with one person in relationship to many people, and then we can
get the common ground of the many in terms of agreement. So we
can get a track there.

But now we take -- we take a pattern of postulates. What's the
standard pattern of postulates? There isn't any standard pattern
of postulates.

A person has a tendency to make various postulates in various
situations. A person finds himself running into a tree, so he
says that the tree is not here. Didn't work. "I'm not here."
Didn't work. "Earth's not here." Didn't work. And he hits the
tree.

But he still made the postulates. And then he's -- after he hits
the tree he's lying there and he'll say, "Well, it happened
yesterday." These things he's apt to do, but not necessarily.
There's no necessity of his making any postulate. He's maybe ran
off the embankment and hit the tree, bang! and he woke up
someplace else; didn't make a single postulate all the way along
the line, except "I'm going to hit a tree," which is a comment or
a supposition. He supposes he's going to hit a tree, and he does.
Not because he supposed it, but because he was obeying a certain
series of laws.

Now, you get the difference in this? So if you're processing
somebody, and the second you spring them out of their head
they're obviously just either no horsepower... What's horsepower?
Horsepower would depend on energy, wouldn't it? and space and
energy and everything else, so there isn't any such thing as
horsepower. You have to get the limiting postulates. How do you
scare up these limiting postulates on this person who hasn't any
power, out of their head? You do the other four steps; you do all
five steps, that's all, and it'll snap it.

Basically, all thetans are equal on this line of thought, but at
first glance -- believe me -- they're sure not equal. And for a
long time into processing, you're not going to find thetans
equal.

Now, I'm giving most of this as a -- giving your -- that's why,
you see, there's a mockery at the bottom of the tone scale.
That's why societies can go out on the basis of "All men are
created equal." Everybody goes around saying, "All men are equal,
all men are equal, all..." The hell they are! Not even vaguely!
The postulate started out at first "All men should be equal in
the eyes of the law" or "All men should have equal legal rights."
That's what the basic was, and then they kept trimming off that
last phrase. And you'll find all sorts of people running around
beating the drum on this "All men are equal."

Well, that's an insanity in itself. You can say, "All men, when
cleared by Scientology completely down to the last line, if put
into the same environment again as every other person was put
into and with everything in the environment held at a careful
equality for some time, would be equal for minutes at a stretch."
That doesn't mean that thee are more equal than others. "Some are
more equal than others" is the way some people get around it, the
way the fascists get around it. Fascist socialism says, "All men
are equal, except some of us are more equal than you are."

Now, so there is a basic line of equality, and because there is,
this truth can then flitter around and get reasoned with. As soon
as it gets reasoned with it goes awfully haywire. Just like your
preclear who is reasoning at Level V with his aberrations: he's
reasoning like mad. But there is such a thing as logic.

Now, now for the techniques here on this. You must know this, and
actually you should not let your V get too upset about this
business of being a V or a VI. He ought to get upset about being
a VII; VII is pretty bad. But you should -- you shouldn't let him
get very upset about it, because his level at V is not even a
comment on his capabilities. It's not a comment. He may be more
equal than others. He may be doing a heck of a lot of things.
There are a few constants, there are a few things that you find
at the Level V; and one of them is they don't like to work other
people, they would rather do it themselves. And of course, that
is coming down off Mount Olympus. That's really skating down
along the line.

He doesn't say composedly to his body, "All right now, let's take
a run down to the corner grocery and run back again," and sit
there on the front door step and wait for his body to come back.
He doesn't do that. He runs down with full effort down to the
corner grocery store and runs all the way back with full effort,
and when he gets home he says, "I am tired." He's not tired; how
can he be tired? His body's tired, maybe. Well now, if he feels
his body getting a little bit tired he is unwilling then to say,
"Now, you're tired? Okay. Run down to the store two blocks
further twice as fast and run back." No, he would feel
sympathetic about it, or he would feel some other way.

He's more liable, in general (just on an observed behavior) he's
more liable to be worse than or better than the average. He'll be
more -- he'll be more thoughtful of bodies, or he'll be meaner
about it. "I'm tired, I'll just wear myself out now." Did you
ever see anybody like that? "Oh, I don't feel well, I'll make
myself feel worse." Misanthropic attitude.

"Oh, you don't like what I did, huh?" That's a sergeant; he's a V
on the other side. "You don't like what I did; well, do it
again." He's just as likely, by the way, to jump down into the
trench and help them do it again, though. I mean, he's all
confused about it.

"I work twice as hard as you do, that's why..." something or
other. He's the boss at the establishment, see; it makes paper
envelopes or concrete envelopes or something, and he's always
setting an example for the employees by being there at 2 A.M. and
quitting at 1 A.M. or something. He works harder than anybody
else in the place and so forth. And the place just doesn't run.
That's because it doesn't have anybody there making any
postulates about how it's running.

Some of these boys, by the way, will do all the work themselves
to such a degree that they won't communicate anything of what
they're doing. They haven't any time to do that, so they do all
the work.

And one fellow had a tremendous sales department, and they were
supposed to sell certain things. And through his great industry
he was always setting an example for them, so that he would be
busily selling all the things they were supposed to sell, you
see? And they'd very often get a beautiful bargain and a
wonderful sale on something or other and then find out the item
was sold last week, only they hadn't been told. So he had his
sales department just going in small circles all the time. Now a
fellow could still do that and be bright enough to run the sales
department. Wouldn't have anything to do with the level of case,
you see -- I mean on the tone scale. It'd just be how bogged down
this fellow was in energy.

Another thing: your football player quite often will turn out to
be a V. Perfectly nice guy; there's no aberration showing. You
say, "Step out of the body."

"Huh! What are you talking about? I'm muscle, that's who I am.
Look at these beautiful muscles."

And you say, "No, no, no, no, we're not interested in whether
this guy's a body," and so on. Oh, no, uh-uh.

So you're going to have to process him how? With Step V. "See a
black and white spot": You'll find out he's not able to see that
spot. He's muscle, he's dependent upon energy. He knows where his
energy comes from; his fame and glory depends upon that biceps,
that's all, and his ability to plunge that into the line hard at
the right place with a tremendous shock. And he's but -- so we
have in V an evaluation, more than anything else. Good, bad or
indifferent, energy is what we use. We don't use anything else
but energy, and it's got to have energy and we're not going to --
we can't manufacture energy just out of whole cloth, so it takes
this setup of postulates. Now, whether that results in good
behavior or bad behavior or progressive things or good goals or
bad goals or failures or anything else is the business of the
tone scale, not the business of V.

So your whole answer on a V is bail him out of using energy. Of
course, that same thing happens at Step II, only you're not going
to bail him out thoroughly enough in V. You're just going to bail
him out enough in V to get him to IV. You're going to bail him
out in V till he can mock up his childhood home, and you're going
to go on from there; that's all. Black and White Spot might do
that. He gets a black and white spot, and he -- first thing you
know, he's got a black and white spot; and the next thing you
know, he's getting mock-ups. Because ordinarily your V can't get
a mock-up right off the bat.

And he's trying to stop. So let's go out on Long Form now and
Long Form adds to that, this: he's trying to stop, so you help
him. You help your preclear do anything he's trying to do and
make him do it more so. You get the idea? There's a little slogan
in processing, is Make It More So. The fellow's trying to
succumb; well, with the aid of mock-ups you make him succumb
better. He's trying to succumb. He's evidently and obviously
trying to complete a cycle of action in which he -- his goal was
to succumb, or something's goal was to succumb; and so he's
completing a cycle of action.

Now, how do you complete that cycle of action? He evidently at
some place or another wanted something to become very automatic
and erratic. And every time he starts something, it stops; but
when he tries to stop something, it gets madly erratic. He's
running some sort of cycle of action. You don't quite know what
it is, but he can't get a mock-up very easily so how can you run
a cycle of action?

Well, it's an interesting question. Cycle of action, then, really
belongs in V but it's where? In IV, because it takes mock-ups to
get them. And you're going to -- you're going to cure him of
energy just to a point where he can get some mock-ups, and then
you're going to go into IV. And you're going to do this by curing
him of stopping, because that's characteristic of a V. He's
trying to stop; and because of reverse flows, every time he tries
to stop he goes faster. And so he has a rather -- sometimes a
very hectic idea about life, or he has a tremendously cautious
idea about life or something of the sort. He knows every time he
tries to stop that he'll go zwish! And he knows every time he
tries to start that he's liable to do something else entirely
different. So you just -- whatever he's trying to do, you make
him do more so.

Now, he can't get a mock-up. (By the way, this is not a very
workable technique on test. You'd think offhand it was. This is
true of many techniques: you think offhand it's a good technique
and you work it out, and it's not. This little technique I'm just
going to tell you about is not a good technique, but this is
illustrative of it.) He wants everything black, so you make it
nice and black for him. It has a tiny workability, but because of
the mechanics of blackness and so forth it doesn't go as far as
it ought to go. There are faster things to do.

"All blackness is, is burned out energy." That's his idea,
"Energy burned out is black." I mean, he's got that postulate
sitting someplace or another.

All right. Now, everything is occluded. So you're going -- every
time he tries to see something it gets more occluded. Every time
he tries to make some things more occluded then they're liable to
appear. Only not necessarily so: they're liable to get more
occluded, too. He's at an erratic level of the handling of
energy. He's not going in exact opposites. You see, he could
learn to handle that like a breeze. If it always went in the
exact opposite, why, he'd just do everything in opposites; and
all would come out right again and he wouldn't do anything in
opposites anymore, because he'd do everything right. Because if
he did them in opposites, he could do them right. That's
predictable.

So you've got an unpredictable randomity here in what's going to
happen. This is anxiety. Anxiety is characterized by the phrase
"I don't know what's going to happen." And when he starts dealing
with energy he of course gets right into that head over heels. "I
don't know what's going to happen." Because that's the first
thing that energy sets up for you. Unless you conduit along wires
and trap it, and give it a lot of MEST to run through a lot of
other MEST, you can't predict what energy is going to do, very
easily.

You can start predicting it on this line: if you use Standard
Operating Procedure 5, you can eventually predict what the energy
is going to do with this preclear. And that is, it's not going to
be used at all.

Now, here then is a person who has a certain erraticity that has
taken away from him the feeling of certainty; because he's so --
hit so hard and so often by unpredicted things, he's going to
lose a certain feeling of certainty. So what you're trying to do
-- he's trying to stop, is a lower level of characteristic;
you're just going to help him stop with mockups. You'll find out
that's very good. He'll finally get so he can start. But an even
better -- an even better proposition is to give him -- give him a
certainty. Now, that really belongs in technique VI, which we're
not going to cover because that's just ARC Straightwire.

All along the line he's just trying to find a certainty, but a VI
is so starved for a certainty that you give them just one
certainty of "Remember something that is absolutely real."

And they say, "Uh-hhh! How wonderful."

A V isn't that starved. He's still continuing along the line that
he's still got quite a few certainties but he could sure use
another one. So let's give him a certainty. That black spot, it's
either there or it isn't there -- for him. And when he gets it so
it's there or it isn't there, then he gets a certainty of action:
Can he turn it on or can't he? Then there he got it. It's a
certainty.

Now, when I say he's trying to stop your mock-ups that you would
use in addition to this and so forth, just let him try to stop
things -- not in the real universe, in the actual one. Let him
try to stop things. Have him -- have him mock up -- well, let's
just take one for instance. Let's take a little car, and let's
take this box of chalk here; and let's put a little model car
right here on this edge of the mantel, and let's have it run
forward and stop it when it's an inch from the box of chalk.

[from audience] But a V can't mock up.

Hm?

[from audience] You said a V can't----

Concept.

[from audience] Oh.

Get a concept of a little car there, and see if it can run over
and stop just before it gets to the chalk.

Now let's take a IV, take a IV along this line; he can really see
this car. Can he make it run over there and stop? How many people
were able to make it stop? Okay. You make it stop. How many
people couldn't stop it? Anybody couldn't stop it? Well, good,
wonderful.

So you see, the solution on the thing if you keep that up, these
little mock-ups, the fellow will all of a sudden say, "You know,
I can stop? So I don't have to keep on trying to stop, because I
can stop." He's in the horrible trap of the harder he tries to
stop, the more he keeps going. And he just has the tendency then
that everything is abusing him and wearing him out, and he's used
by everything and he can't use anything and so forth.

But he can't mock up. He can get a concept of mock-ups. He can
get an idea of something stopping; get an idea, for instance, of
an electric fan going like mad and then get it stopping. And get
a -- here's an awfully easy one; this would be a trick one to
give him. "Get a concept of something falling off the ceiling and
not hitting the floor. Stop it in midair. Get it falling and stop
it in midair. " Boy, he could do that like a breeze, because
that's what he's tried to do with every fall that's come along.

You could get concepts of these things vaguely; because he's
afraid to start a mock-up, because of he knows if he starts it he
can't stop it. He's afraid of what he'll see and all sorts of
things. He's generally locked up in an Assumption, by the way.
It's the actual incident he's in.

But your best drill by far is to establish this certainty and to
establish this certainty on the simple process of giving him a
black spot, giving him a white spot. Is he certain he's got it?
When he gets certain he's got it and when he can move it around,
he has learned he can start and stop things. And he can get that
black spot with his eyes open, on an actual wall.

Now there are dozens of techniques which go along with this --
just, just dozens, you could just add them up left and right --
and the number of incidents that you could run on a V are without
count. You could just go on and if you -- unless you just
happened to be lucky, unless you just happened to be lucky, you'd
miss it, because he's going to assign reason to every one of
these incidents -- the most irrational incidents in the world.

He was taking a bath in the bathtub, and a bull came in and
jumped in the bathtub with him (maybe this actually happened to
him sometime or another) and he'll immediately latch onto this as
being the cause of something or other.

Now DED-DEDEX processing and all of that sort of thing has been
found by auditors to be productive in some cases and not
productive in other cases. That's because they're encouraging
flows. So let's not use flows on this V: let's just skip all
those (quote) "real incidents." Let's just know they're there,
let's just know more or less what's wrong with him and what's
happened to him; and let's get this black and white spot, and
let's help him stop things conceptually.

And another technique is let's just feed him Self Analysis by the
hour. And then try him out finally and let him get a black spot.
He can't get a black spot? Well, let's give him a few more hours
of Self Analysis. Conceptual, understand? He'll tell you all of a
sudden, "You know, I can get some mock-ups." That's fine: he's a
IV.

So you've just scouted the whole idea; and after you get him out
of his body and square him up, then you'll have him come back and
get a black spot.

So the test of a V and the break between V and IV is, Can he get
mock-ups? He's stuck in his body and he can't hold anything
absolutely stable in front of him, he can't hold this little ball
immediately stable in front of him. Well, all right, he's a IV.
If he can't get mock-ups, he's a V. If he can get mock-ups, he's
a IV. If he can hold that little ball stable in front of him,
he's a III. Simple technique.

Now, do you do a V this and that and then just have him step out?
Well, you would if you could. You might try, but I don't think
you will. So you go from V, Black and White Spot, or he can all
of a sudden get mock-ups. We move right on into IV, and we do all
of IV. And we move right on into III; we do all of III. And what
do you know? We get him into III, and he can't hold that spot --
that little round ball of light in front of him stable. He can't
hold it there. Well, he's not a III then.

Where do you go from there? IV. Now, what do you do principally
in IV then? Well, you help him do what he's trying to do. If
everything is getting erratic on him, he's trying to stop and he
can't. And if everything remains completely motionless with him,
he's trying to start and he can't. So we Tun mock-ups with him
until he can start and stop on postulated command.

You'll be surprised the tremendous relief that'll come over him
when he can start and stop something on a command. So your V and
your IV techniques could be considered to be IV as a big
technique with a lot of things in it, and a V with a rather
simple test and a rather simple solution.

When does a V move into IV? A V moves into IV when he can get
mock-ups.

How clearly does he have to get mock-ups? Thin, fella, awful
thin; not good mock-ups, he can just get some mock-ups.

Now what do you run in IV? Then you run all the techniques that
are in IV. Cycle of Action and... Beat him to death, in other
words, in IV.

Well, all right, supposing he can't get that black and white
spot, and you aren't able to encourage him getting that black and
white spot on the wall and establish a certainty. Oddly enough,
when he gets this certainty established he'll be able to get
mockups. That's a make or break on that. So he gets this black
spot and a white spot, and he gets a fair certainty on the thing.
He gets along all right then.

He can't do that, though. You've got this V and he still can't
get mock-ups, and you've tried to do this and that with him and
he can't get this black and white spot.

Or at least you can't get him to get this black and white spot; I
could get him to get this black and white spot. Always, by the
way, store that in your mind as a little consoling datum. As far
-- so far, as far as I can see, it has been true a hundred
percent of the time. I have not failed in giving a V a white spot
or a black spot at will rather rapidly. So evidently it isn't
very hard to do. That's said advisedly: it evidently is not very
hard to do if you drill on it.

And if you didn't see him change any, he fooled you. He just
didn't do it well enough to be certain he was doing it, and you
didn't carry it along far enough to make him certain he was doing
it. That's a big certainty.

"So you put a black spot on the wall?"

"What do you know, I put a black spot on the wall!" I've seen
people practically do a war dance around the place. "What do you
know, I put a black spot on the wall, ha-ha-ha, gee! Well, I
don't care anything about that mock-up. You can have all the
mock-ups you want and you can have all this stuff, because I can
put a black spot on the wall. I've really gotten something out of
this. Yes sir, I've really gotten something out of this."

"What have you gotten out of it?"

"I can put a black spot on the wall." Fascinating. It's a level
of certainty.

"Is it there?"

"Yeah. It's there."

All right, if you fail to do that, you still are not lost. Let
him get Self Analysis and work it conceptually until he can get
mock-ups. You're never lost now, anywhere along the track; you've
always got that one. And unlike Handbook for Preclears, that
nobody got past Act Five on (some of them got to Act Six but
didn't do it), unlike that one, you actually have a good level of
security.

Now, a lot of the techniques which you think might fit into V
really don't because the level of certainty's too low. The least
certain thing there is in the human mind is energy, and a person
can get more and more uncertain. Now, you make a person run
whole-track incidents that he's not sure they're there, he's not
sure anything else is there and he's just going to get worse and
worse and worse and worse and worse. No matter what good a sales
talk you give him, you say, "Well now, Ron said in What to Audit
that this and that and so-and-so took place, and that..." and so
on. You can just argue him, and he's still not certain. The guy
can sit there with practically a full front face exploded with
this electric shock that just hit him during processing; he's
still not certain that came from anyplace else. He doesn't have
this big level of certainty. Sometimes he'll get it suddenly, but
that's an accident. You just don't worry about that; you get the
most certain thing that you can possibly get.

A VI, of course, is characterized by getting a certainty of
remembering something which tells him "I'm here because I've got
a past." Your VI, by the way, is striving for a past. And he's
really succeeded. He's buried himself in the past, and so on.
Well, you show him some of it's real, and he gets real happy.
Then remember that if a VI can be broken up into a V level by
just remembering something that's really real to him, then don't
break a V down to a VI level by giving him a lot of things which
aren't even vaguely real to him. (The way I've done to you by
giving you the whole track: I give you the whole track, and it's
not even vaguely real to you at your state of case and so on;
it's a great big uncertainty. You say, "Did we or didn't I... ?"
I've done a terrible overt act against you, but I'm not sorry at
all.)

Anyway, here's your problem, then, with VI is that he doesn't
have a certainty. Now, you wouldn't take a VI and then spring him
back to V and give him a big uncertainty by running energy
incidents like electronics or anything else, would you? Because
that's an uncertainty. You'd break him back to VI again, wouldn't
you? And sometimes he'd feel like he were going straight into
VII. What's the matter with it? Level of uncertainty: too
uncertain.

Now there's another little sideways technique that can be used on
a V, which is an interesting one. It's "I fill the whole
universe, and it's all white." Just tell him to get this feeling,
"I fill the whole universe, and it's all white. And I'm not using
any effort to do it." And just get him to hold this and monitor
it and never use any effort to do it. Of course, everything is
black around him, and he's saying "I know it's all white." He's
perfectly conscious that it's all black, and he says, "I know
it's white." And gradually all kinds of incidents will poke at
him, and his concentration, in other words, is coming up off of
incidents and a lot of things; and he just says, "I'm benignly
and serenely filling the whole universe and it's all white -- no
matter how black it looks -- it's all white, I know it."

And immediately after that, after he's gotten that way, he feels
like he's going to be in terrible condition -- he'll get a lot of
bad somatics -- you can give him this one: "I am a diamond, and
I'm all solid." Get him to get the idea of being a diamond and
how solid it is to be a diamond and how valuable it is to be a
diamond. And then have him be the whole universe, and it's all
black. He's got white streaks all through it, but he knows it's
all black.

In other words you teach him to call himself a liar, because all
the data he's got in the bank that he's using is really a flock
of lies. He has been footed too often. He's been told that what
he should start out and be all for in life was justice. And then
he's been told that, and then he's been given nothing but
injustice. Or he's been told that the best thing to be was to be
completely criminal, and then everybody pitches in and
demonstrates to him utterly that the only way to be is honest.
He's just gotten completely flimflammed all over the place. He's
upset about it, and you get into this.

So he has no certainties to go on. Well, you can teach him to
call himself a liar. "I fill the whole universe and it's all
green. Now, I am a solid lump of coal and I know it because there
is a solid lump of coal and they're all the coal lumps right
there, and right where my head is there's a coal lump." He isn't
even seeing these things, and it's a very strange thing that
doing this and doing the other, and doing this and doing the
other will all of a sudden bring up some new ideas about value
that he never had before.

What's he trying to do? He's trying to stop, isn't he? In other
words, he's trying to get solid. Stop is solid. Stop is no space.
So he doesn't realize it, but he's trying to get solid. And he's
actually eschewing space and trying to collect himself into the
smallest space possible. And this of course is real value, and
the computation in his case is -- usually is to be as valuable or
as valueless as he possibly can be, to existence.

So you upset this by just showing him -- just giving him an
opportunity to think about being solid. And give him an
opportunity to think about being an infinite space. How long does
he hold these things? Doesn't matter. Two hours? I don't care.
Hold Infinite Space and It's All White for two hours, God help
you. You'll get from here and there pow! and zow! and bang! and
you'll get every once in a while the idea that there's a galaxy
over there. You know that you've been -- you read someplace there
were some galaxies in some direction and you know you ought to
embrace them if you're infinite space, so you'll start to reach.
Uh-uh. No, no. You're not supposed to reach, you're not supposed
to use force, you're not supposed to use any energy; you're just
supposed to sit there benignly and just be. Don't reach, don't
pull back from: just be infinite space. And every time you find
yourself reaching for anything or stretching or straining in any
direction or other, just be careful to adjust it and know that
you're being infinite space.

Some very interesting things will happen to a preclear if you do
that. It'll demonstrate to him what his goals are, and it'll
demonstrate that he's in a terrible confusion, that infinite
space has no value. He thinks infinite space has no value; he's
going backwards, you see? "Infinite space has no value, and a
solid object is terribly valuable." He usually is in that
computation. This is in reverse. He'll just deal himself right
out of the game with that computation. What's the least self-
determined thing there is? It's some solid piece of MEST.
Anything can handle it. Anything can push it around. And yet he's
got a goal of trying to stop? And he's got a goal of trying to be
valuable. How valuable can he get? Really, in terms of his
computation ordinarily, solid. So he's actually going, whether --
no matter what he thinks he's doing, he's really going toward a
stop, no space, solid object, which means he'll pack engrams in
on himself like mad.

Now, he believes that he himself is a mass of particles and that
this mass of particles impinges on other masses of particles.
He's not a mass of particles. He hasn't got any particle which is
him, on which to impinge another particle. He doesn't have this
kind of relationship, but he's got two particles out there that
he can push together and feel the sensation resulting therefrom.
He isn't either one of those particles. And he will learn this,
by the way, by just holding Infinite Space and then holding
Complete Solidity.

Now, one of the reasons why a person starts regretting injury is
he's pushed these particles together, crush. He's hurt somebody,
you see? He's pushed a lot of particles together, he's driven
this person's anchor points in. This makes that person valuable.
In this guy's computation, the idea is something solid is
valuable, so he pushed this person's anchor points in. Now he
tries to pull them apart again; that's feeling sorry. He -- when
he wants to patch this fellow up, that's feeling very sorry.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with helping people, but a
person who's using energy will find out that it will eventually
become completely antipathetic to him to help anybody. Why?
Because he's got it mixed up with pulling particles apart. He
wants to undo an injury, and it'll wind him up in incidents where
he's tried to undo what he's done. So he'll begin to feel
responsible for every injury and every somatic his preclear has.
That's restimulation. That's the highest explanation I know of
restimulation at this time.

And you want to get out of that -- just the dickens with these
flows. Get up there at a level where you're not using flows.
Those are the liabilities of flows. Flows are composed of
particles, and you're trying to keep two particles -- push them
together. This tells you also that anything valuable in the
universe would automatically become something painful, would be
arrived at through pain.

Valuable things are arrived at and possessed because of pain.
Because what's pain? Pain is jamming particles together, isn't
it? Therefore, the way you make something valueless is to jam
particles together. So how do you arrive at something that has no
value? Well, you jam its particles tighter together.

Big maybe there, isn't there? You see, they both -- to make
something valueless and to make something valuable, you do the
same thing to them. And your person who's way up in terms of
infinite space and he thinks infinite space has no value
whatsoever, he's running away from the only thing that can be
valuable to him. Of course it's -- infinite space is neither
valueless nor valuable, and an object is neither solid nor
unsolid (the truth be told, it isn't there). But, by concept an
object is either valuable or not valuable. You'll find man
putting his most concentration upon the solidest objects or the
widest spaces.

Your explorer goes out to explore a place merely because it's a
lot of open space. And when he gets there, he'll concentrate his
attention on the most solid object in the place and bring it
back. Fascinating. The widest dichotomy, then, is this.

But now, there's a parallel in the tone scale between "I don't
know" and solidity, and "I know" and space. So if you wanted to
run, with energy, these concepts (which you don't) you would --
you would figure "I don't know" -- on a Rising Scale postulate
you would get -- if you wanted to get energy along with this, you
would get "I don't know," and then a fellow would feel he was
solid with "I don't know." And now feel "I know" and feel very
expansive. And then feel solid with "I don't know"; and very
expansive, "I know." Now feel very solid, "I am not"; and then
feel very expansive, "I am." It's a technique. It's another one,
but a relatively small value.

This -- if you want to teach this preclear, then, at V what he is
doing, or want to satisfy yourself as to what you're doing, or
find this stuff -- all the data falling out of it actually, the
best way to do it is just this infinite space and solid object
deal. Not with "I know" and "I don't know" or anything of the
sort, it's just say, "Well, I'm filling infinite space." You know
doggone well you're not filling anything. And you know very well
that you're filling infinite space. And the second that you try
to stretch out, you'll find out there's lots of ways.

Now, you say, "Now I'm a solid object. Now I'm a diamond." And
all of a sudden you'll figure out, "Well, let's see, I belong in
this necklace, and wouldn't it be nice to lay in this plush box,"
and gradually as you hold that, all the good things about being a
diamond will start to fall out. That's a good, solid, valuable
object and people would take good care of you.

And all of a sudden the strange ideas will start occurring to you
probably on the subject of "Yeah, and I wonder if it'd hurt to be
cut up into some smaller diamonds. That isn't so good. And maybe
Mrs. Gotrocks... well, maybe this diamond won't always be worn by
a young, beautiful, swanlike neck." And there will be a bunch of
doubts start coming in about this sort of thing. Well, as soon as
that comes in don't worry about it any farther, just be infinite
space again.

And you'll get, "Gee, it sure is good to be infinite space,
yeah.... Ow!" You say, "I wonder what that was." And you'll say,
"Oh, gosh, infinite space, that means I'd embrace everything in
the MEST universe. Oh, no, no, no. You mean all these things I
object to and that are fighting me and trying to determine my
course of existence, I am determining their course of existence,
I'd have to actually be those things too, they'd be within my own
sphere? No, no, no, no, no."

But you hold Infinite Space anyway, and then all of a sudden
you'd say, "But it isn't -- wouldn't be bad and so forth to be
the whole MEST universe, and actually full responsibility then
would be, full responsibility would be -- be willing to let
anything happen." You say, "That's pretty good, and so forth, but
you know that wouldn't be interesting at all." And all of a
sudden the whole idea starts to pale on you again. Well, just
close down and be a solid object, only this time be a mop handle.

Now, we get a similar technique in IV: a quite important
technique. You list all the person's relatives we gave you in the
long form. You list all the person's relatives; and then he mocks
himself up as every single one of them, and then mocks them up as
being himself. And you'll find the darnedest things happen.

Now, he's been trying to keep from being Mother all these years,
and he all of a sudden, malice aforethought, he mocks himself up
as Mother and, what do you know? gets all these horrible pains or
something of that character. He mocks himself up -- he's known
that the real trouble with him all these years was his Uncle
George, and there's George. He mocks himself up as George. He
waits for something to happen. But George was a good guy; he'd
forgotten that.

This fellow's all bogged down, you see, in flows. So that what he
thought was good when he was a kid, now he's got to think is bad
when he's old, and all that sort of thing. His evaluation of
people was all upset. You don't want him to make a new
evaluation; you just want him to be willing to be anybody.

Up there at the top of the tone scale chart, column of attitudes,
it says at the top of the chart Nobody and Everybody. Everyone it
says at the top of that chart, and it says at the bottom of the
chart Nobody.

Now, in Step Level V he's actually trying to be a solid object.
He's trying to be an object, one way or the other; he isn't even
trying to be a person, truth be told. The combination works out
kind of unhappily in that direction. He isn't saying so, though.
That takes a VII. That takes a VIII. A VIII will come right out
and be an object.

"I know what I am, I am a bedpost."

"Why are you a bedpost?"

"Well..." (He's twice as logical as a V, by the way; he can give
you the most involved explanations as to why he's a bedpost.)

All right. As we look over Level V, we find somebody who was
really trying to stop. That would impinge itself on the tone
scale as being pretty low down the line on the tone scale, it
would appear. But he might have goals and other postulates which
modify his conduct and activity, so we're looking at a structural
manifestation more than anything else. And it might not be the
thetan at all (and this is what's confusing, you see). It might
not be the thetan that's holding him into the body. You might
have a good thetan, your preclear is a good thetan, he's in
pretty good shape and so forth; and every time he starts to move
out, he's got a concept that -- he just doesn't.

He's bogged down in energy too much and he tries to use energy,
and so energy can influence him. And the truth of the matter is,
the body he is in is holding on to him like mad.

So by running these techniques, you tend to run all of this out
of the body. Naturally, the body cannot hold on to him the second
that he can move on postulates instead of move with energy.

So you see what you're working toward there. With the V, you have
the case that worries you. So I'm going to give you the rundown
on this and ask you not to worry about a V-level case.

Black and White Spot Control: get him to where he can find a
black and white spot. And if you have too much trouble with this,
and he's too shifty in your hands (that is to say, he just -- he
just isn't going to go in for this at all and so forth) you had
certainly better go into Step VI.

"Remember something that's absolutely real." ARC Straightwire. A
sample of ARC Straightwire is in the next-to-the-last list of
Self Analysis, and that's all you have to use of ARC Straightwire
to knock out a Step VI. This is too easy. It's the next-to-the-
last list in the back of Self Analysis. Just -- the list
immediately before the -- before the End of Session list. It's
the one just before that, "Remember something real." And you just
run that list over with him and you'll crack the fellow up into a
V.

But the VII, you see, very -- is very interesting, the VII;
you've just got to get his concentration onto something else,
anything else, because his concentration is wholly absorbed on an
engram or an energy deposit. And whether he's that whole thing or
whether he's hard packed with it, or he could even step out of
his body with it and so forth: that doesn't interest us. We want
him to get his attention on something else besides what he's got
his attention a hundred percent fixed on. That's all that's
making him crazy. He just can't fix any attention on anything
else except one thing. Now, you're not interested in finding out
what that one thing is. That's what he's trying to find out. He's
trying to find out what that one thing is, and the reason he
can't find it out is because it isn't there.

So you just want him to get his concentration fixed on something
that will give him a certainty. He knows he's in this room; he'll
feel better. The second you get him to find out he's in that room
you give him Step VI, ARC Straightwire, "Remember something
absolutely real," he feels a lot better, you got...

Now, there is the only place where we really enter the question
of sanity and insanity, because Step VI is neurotic and Step V is
psychotic -- pardon me, Step VII is psychotic (I was thinking of
some of the V's I knew). Anyway, Step VII is psychotic, Step VI
is neurotic. We have the techniques for that -- those two things.
They're the only place -- two places on the track where we're
interested in that.

Now let's go to Step V, and that's neither neurotic nor
psychotic. It might be very sane, it might be illogical or
logical, or the guy might be a saint or a criminal. We don't care
what he is. We've broken any relationship there with the tone
scale completely.

And we just give him this technique: Black and White Spot
Control. We get him to get a black spot, and we get him a black
spot, we go right straight to IV. When he's got a black spot, he
can put it on the wall and he knows it's there, bang! we go right
to IV. He can't put a black spot on the wall? All right, you
actually are within your rights to immediately go on to Step VI
and find out if he can remember something absolutely real. You'll
find out he very often can remember something completely real to
him, though.

So where do we go from there? What would be your next step, most
optimum thing to do with him? Well, I'll tell you what I'd do
with him: Id put him on Self Analysis if he were my preclear and
get him to get those mock-ups conceptually, I don't care how many
hours -- fifty, a hundred hours of it, I don't care. Make sure he
keeps at it, until one day he all of a sudden is getting clear,
good, solid, nice mock-ups. And slide him right into IV and go on
auditing him.

And then audit him into III, and then audit him into II, and then
put him into I, and out he comes, kaboom! And then put him in
when he comes out -- you can't -- you find out he can't finish
all of Step I. Put him into V, put him into IV, put him into III,
put him into II, and finish Step I.

So what would I do if he were my preclear? Black and White Spot.
If he can't control that spot, I'd put him right straight onto
Self Analysis and just not worry about it any further. Just say,
"That's that."

But we do have some other techniques, I've sketched them out for
you (you can fool around with this case if you want to), such as
infinite space, and very condensed, and -- well, he'll change his
ideas when he runs that a few times. You can make him change his
ideas about these things.

You can also take a V, and he gets a vague concept of his body
sometimes. You can make him hack up a body or something in a
vague concept, and all of a sudden he'll come out of his body.

There are a lot of odds and ends of techniques, I impress upon
you. There are lots of odds and ends of techniques: lots of them.
You could go on and on and on, all kinds of processes, with this
case. I'm not advising you to do it.

You can patch up a lot of specific things with a V. What you're
trying to do -- he's using too much energy and he's gotten to a
point where he's trying to stop with it, so he won't even see.
And you want to snap him right out of that, just as fast as you
possibly can snap him out of what? Out of using energy.

So you give him a certainty so that you can get on into IV and
finish Valences and Cycle of Action, Mock Up the Old Home, Give
and Take: good, solid, heavy, all-out processing there as
contained in IV. That means IV will take you the most number of
hours in a case. And IV as laid down is a good pattern; you just
do this and this and this and this and this. Your IV technique
just merely consists of, Can he get a model or can he get a mock-
up of his home when he was a child? Well, you handle that in
every fashion -- behind and above and behind, back and under and
over -- and then have him put lots of homes into himself and then
lots of homes away from himself; until he's got homes. homes,
homes. "To hell with them!"

And then we go right straight on the line with women and
strangers and food and all this sort of thing, and we just solve
all these scarcities with him.
