5008C30 LECT Preventive Dianetics Schizophrenia is caused by a superabundance of control circuitry. It is contained in the phrase, "I'm all alone." Paranoia has the phrase, "they're all against me." The repeater phrase, "I love you," gets the PC into a sympathy engram. Prevent aberration by keeping calm around a child. Don't quarrel, Pull attention units to PT by creating a necessity level, even if it has to be an artificial one. E.g. a person who is drowning and seeing his whole life flashing before him is coming up to PT If you can do this to a kid in early life, nothing will bother him later. Cultural patterns such as an extended period of mourning are just cultural patterns; in the absence of engrams you don't get long term misemotion. It should be made part of the social mores not to talk or even say, "Shh!" around injured or anaten persons. In industry, you get the situation where an individual who has worked in one place gets a chain of injuries with the same perceptics and lots of words. Therefore, he is out of PT at work and may cause industrial accidents. 100% of auto accidents are caused by engramic restimulation (whether of the driver, mechanic, or manufacturers). Accident proneness is telepathic. One finds that engrams are the best telepathic broadcasters. This is analogous to an alarm system for the herd. Thus, of two persons who have never met, one will act out the other valence in the other's engram. At high tones, affinity is raw cohesiveness; at lower tones, it is as if there is a herd that must be alerted and needs shock (e.g. fear, grief, anger) to be broadcast to cohere the herd into fight or flight. You can notice this telepathic alarm system when you enter a room where people have been quarreling. So when you are in the society of others, you run into this all the time. Similarly, in the vicinity of accidents, other accidents occur. Engrams are keyed in and then acted out. Thus "accidents come in threes". If you took driver's licenses away from the 8% of people who have been involved in car accidents involving injury, you could eliminate 90% of the accidents. If you audit grief charges in pregnant women, with sobbing or self-beating, etc., you may get transmission of engrams to the child. Then, when later you try to audit the child, you may get oddities, or restimulation, from dianetic patter, which is part of the child's incident. Therefore, probably dianetic patter will have to be changed in 15 to 20 years. So auditing a pregnant woman has to be adjudicated. You should go ahead if there is a threat of attempted abortion or difficult birth. Also, you should observe how the mother behaves during auditing. By the way, girdles, etc., cause more or less continuous engrams for the child, so watch out for young kids or unwed mothers, or anyone who would try to hide pregnancy. Social aberrations are fragments of old morals whose practical origin is forgotten. Morals, in their turn, are a socially agreed upon attempt to handle a problem for which no rational answer exists. It's a jury-rigged solution. [Thus some morals may be unethical].
