And you get that many thetans together and you get that much universe
 together and two of the fundamental rights are violated in particular. There
 are actually three rights which a thetan in this universe is not permitted to
 have. 
 
 Three rights: you got liberty, eternity, and equality going pretty 
 good here on Earth, but it has a tendency to get into a MEST sort of a 
 liberty, eternity, equality sort of a thing. "Let's all.. let's all be 
 beautifully sad because we're all dying anyway" sort of a.. of a liberty, 
 eternity, equality. Not "Let's get the show on the road" - that'd be an 
 entirely different level. 
 
 And so we have uh.. we have then some freedoms that are missing. And
 one of them is a man's right to his own.. a thetan's right to his own sanity.
 And the other main right is, you see, because he hasn't any life to lose 
 (that's a grim thing, by the way) uh.. his right to his own sanity and his 
 right to leave the game. 
 
 He doesn't have those two rights in this universe. For homo sapiens 
 there are two rights, really, and one of them is the right to his own sanity,
 and the other one is a right to his own life. That is an extension of the 
 rights of man, and the rights of man are a complete mockery without these two
 additional rights. 
 
 All you have to do is pronounce somebody insane, you see, or 
 something of that sort, or drive him insane or something and he immediately
 has no rights; he becomes property. 
 
 So watch any hole in a bill of rights which leads to a slavery. A 
 right to his own life, because men cannot be compelled into the acceptance of
 the moral codes of others; men will commit actions out and beyond the 
 framework and good of the society and exceed the optimum solution - the 
 greatest good along the greatest number of dynamics. They'll exceed that and,
 therefore, they uh.. are then turned around because they'd been driven out to
 exceed that. Then.. then they are turned around and punished because they've
 exceeded it and the punishment which can consist there is the deprivation of
 the property of a body. 
 
 And it's fairly safe to have a body in this society unless one has 
 sufficient capabilities not to have a body, and there are.. those 
 capabilities are quite large. 
 
 But, uh.. for a thetan there are two very essential rights: One is 
 the right to his own sanity, and the other is the right to leave a game. And
 if he has those two rights, you don't get some kind of a big universe 
 slopping all over the edges of everything under the sun. You don't get a 
 theta trap of this magnitude setting up. 
 
 So, what do we have here then? We have your thetan going forward to 
 an assumption, willy-nilly, of those two rights, come hell or high water. You
 got an assumption of the right to one's own sanity. 
 
 You know Scientology.. in a universe which knows Scientology, the
 chances of anyone's taking away anyone's sanity become so remote as to be
 ridiculous, because there's always the raw red rebel who will say, "Those
 implants might be interesting, but are they useful really?" 
 
 Yes, yes, you have everybody convinced they don't know who they are,
 and that they're somebody else, but uh.. and that's interesting. Rut is it 
 right? And uh.. you.. you could have.. you could have - because a dichotomy
 
 -47- 

 of combat can exist - you could have a great and powerful and doubtlessly 
 awesome and fearful forces facing us with all of these threats if we dared 
 make anybody sane. 
 
 Yes, you could always have those forces, and they'd never be able to 
 make it stick. That's very interesting; they would not be able to make it 
 stick, because they are on a track which in this universe is a self-ending 
 track, not a self-perpetuating track. People recognize that, and although you
 will see a tremendous tendency on the part of the slave to assume his chains 
 and wear them, and wear more chains if possible, you always have a greater 
 number who in the end will turn on the master. 
 
 The masters of the slaves die. They have always died in this universe 
 and they always will, and so may too a universe die. 
 
 But the point we are making is simply that force was never any weapon
 with which to combat reason. And every time force has been applied to reason
 in this universe force has come the cropper, not reason. 
 
 Sooner or later the reason would go around and through because 
 there's on.. force, you see, can't go through sixteen-foot bastions and 
 barricades. You have this enormous citadel sitting on the high crown of an 
 untouchable mount. And it is garrisoned and provisoned and watered to 
 withstand the siege of centuries. And its garrison is well-trained and well- 
 armed. Not a single shaft or a bolt or a lightning flash could go through 
 that citadel. But by the water carrier or some other means an idea can go 
 through the wall of any citadel. When you ask, "What is the strength of this 
 garrison?" you always have to ask, "What is the loyalty of this garrison?" 
 That is the other factor, and force was never able to win against it. It 
 could win temporarily, oh, yes, but never completely. Now in a reaction 
 against force, people quite often will assume a no responsibi1ity for the 
 whole universe. That's going down scale from force. Want to point out to you 
 that there's an up scale from force. A high one, and that goes up toward the 
 reasonable thing to do, and people, very often, who are trying to go up scale
 toward the reasonable thing to do will find themselves caught with specious 
 reasoning and will find themselves dropping down toward the weak thing to do.
 
 Reason which is afraid of force, and reason which exists to keep 
 force from hurting one is not reason. That, too, is a form of slavery. But 
 reason which exists to go up from the level of force must first be able to 
 confront force. Only then can such reason take responsibility for those 
 things which reason alone can produce. 
 
 And so you find a society, just before it goes out, taking its last 
 effort to escape force by being reasonable, but that reasonability consists 
 normally of an assumption of slavery of one form or another - not an 
 assumption of freedom. They will lay upon themselves various restrictions and
 - out of fear. 
 
 Now that man who is able to take responsibility for force, yet who 
 does not employ force, is much more terrible than man who can apply force 
 alone. And the man who applies force alone is, of course, much more terrible 
 to a lower scale on the chart than those who can only cluster together in 
 terror and hope that the mass of their numbers will restrain the hand of 
 force. 
 
 You want to remember then you're looking at harmonics, when you're 
 looking at this on a tone scale. You'll find groups which cohese solely 
 because they are terrified of force which may be applied to thee. And in that
 cohesion they simply seek protection of the 1nd1v1dual by the group.

 (here two pages are missing)




 which is a little more sensible on this level. This is all applicable. I 
 fooled you now, because you thought I was digressing. 
 
 What's wrong with the MEST universe? Self-determinism is the 
 placement or location in space and time. Here the thetan has been located 
 forcefully, convincingly by an exterior, forceful thing in space and time 
 not of that being's creation. That's all that's wrong with him. 
 
 Now the only thing that you would find wrong in the character of 
 anybody you knew was the insistence of that person or the unreasonable or 
 reasonableness - speciously reasonableness - with which that person might 
 persuade you to become placed in space and time continually against what you
 realized was not your own best interest. 
 
 Placement in space and time, continuous, continual placement. If you 
 wanted to make a slave out of any man, all you would have to do is by a very
 very gradual gradient scale start him in placing things in space and time for
 you. And as you magnified that, that person would go into a complete slavery,
 if you magnified it all the way. It's.. it would.. starts out with something
 like many of the social gestures and courtesies. You make it a custom to 
 always hand him your hat to hang up. You make it a custom always to let her 
 pour the teacup full, and then pass it to you. And always be just a little 
 bit further away to be passed to. 
 
 And the next thing you know, that's it. One of the reasons why men 
 have trouble in orienting themselves with women is because by necessity a 
 homo sapiens has to be located continually in space and tirade by his mother.
 He's put on feeding schedules, he.. this and that's done for him, to him, and
 most horribly, his desire for sensation, which is to say his appetites of 
 hunger, are themselves gratified by his mother. 
 
 And so we have mother as quite.. as quite an object in the life of 
 the preclear. And women multiply from that as an object to their own 
 detriment, because when this fellow starts growing up he starts breaking his
 mother's heart. How does he start doing it? By breaking into that gradient 
 scale and bursting free from these fetters of being placed in space and time.
 And that's all he really is doing; he's going to get married and live some- 
 place else. 
 
 Or even much younger than that, he wants to go to a different school,
 or something like that, and he feels that he has to fight such a wall and 
 such a barrier in order to accomplish this that he goes into a.. a frenzy. He
 goes into a frenzy and he has to conjure up all sorts of terrible and awesome
 emotions against his mother, and against his family and against everything 
 else in order to tell himself that he has his own right to place himself in 
 space and time. He has his own right to do that. 
 
 If you were to take a little child and let them go on an automatic 
 feeding schedule, that is to say, the little kid gets hungry, feed him, he'll
 put himself on a schedule fairly rapidly - odd but true. And as he grows up 
 that little boy gets himself possessions. Let him have his own possessions. 
 And if they're his possessions, they're his possessions, because as we will 
 cover later, time is that insidious thing called the object possession. 
 
 And it's what happens to a possession that determines time. 
 
 All right, so, you.. all.. all he has to do is be permitted to own 
 what he has. Tha.. tha.. that's so simple. And to have the space that he has,
 and to have a space. You take away from a child his absolute dictatorship 
 over his intimate possessions, and take away from him the thought that he has
 
 -51- 

 any space, and uh.. he's finished. He'll have a bad time all that life. 
 That's all you have to do to him. Just fool around with his possessions, 
 upset his possessions, which is upsetting to his time, and shove him around
 in space, move lots. 
 
 Oh, move and live in lots of houses. Uh.. move and live in lots of 
 houses and then change his room around, and then let him sleep with his 
 sister and then give him different bureaus. And then uh.. after you've given
 him a bureau drawer or something like that, decide one day to clean ft out
 because it's only full of old rats' nests, so I'm going to throw those all
 away. 
 
 Rrrrr beuy, as far as the happy life is concerned you might as well
 take this Individual out and machine gun him down, because he's not going to
 have one. By the time he's experienced th1s for years and years and years and
 years and years, he has the current life cycle patterned to be, "I have no
 space and I have no possessions, and scarcity reigns everywhere.' 
 
 He'll, also, tell you immediately, of course, that he has no time, he
 can't do anything, he can't concentrate (concentration requires space) and
 this wise is what happens to him. 
 
 What's wrong with this universe? Very simple thing wrong with it. It
 just locates one willy-nilly in space and time and it doesn't let him have a
 single possession that's his own. One cannot have in this universe what is
 one's own, because the only thing which is one's own is that which he himself
 created or helped to create. That's all that one can own. 
 
 Created or helped to create. And when I say created and helped to 
 create you only get a shadow of that in this universe by taking MEST universe
 materials and building them into a form no matter how clumsily these 
 materials handle, building them into some sort of a form which is the 
 individual's own. In order to have something completely one's own one would
 also have to create the materials with which it's made, wouldn't he? 
 
 So, if you're not permitted to create the material, that is to say to
 furnish the energy with which to construct something as well as the aesthetic
 form, how can one have anything of one's own? 
 
 This universe is too afraid of competition; it must be an awfully
 weak universe. It gives you the space and it tells you where to be in the
 space, and then it tells you that you can't have anything of your own. 
 
 Well, you know what's wrong with a thetan? That's all. It's just 
 continuous continuous placement in space not of his own creation or 
 agreement. 
 
 He didn't agree on this space to the degree that you'd think he 
 should agree. It wasn't a self-determined selection on his part, because to
 be a self-determined selection on his part he would've had to have helped 
 create it, and it was already here. 
 
 Yes, he agreed on a totally different level. The level I was talking
 to you about of the.. the hypnotist level. 
 
 All right then, we have to treat these items for what they are. You
 have space. He agreed there was space there. He also has consistently agreed
 it was not his. And then he's agreed not to have energy of his own, but to
 use the energy provided in order to create anything there. 
 
 -52- 

 And you wonder why he goes down scale, and why he gets worse and 
 worse, and why he gets worse and worse, and why.. why he has a large upset on
 this point. 
 
 All right. Therapy, then, consists of the restoration of two rights 
 and two abilities: Creation of space and energy, because space and energy 
 makes space, energy, objects, and time, and the right to continue in 
 possession of space and energy. 
 
 Now you've got to restore those rights to the individual, and that's 
 why Scientology 8-8008 produces the result it produces. You see it isn't a 
 circuitous approach, it isn't a covert process, it is a straight line. It 
 says immediately: This fellow has been located in space which he was - if he 
 was agreed, he.. - tr1cked into agreeing with. 
 
 Of course, it's that standard of agreement, that gradient scale of 
 agreement which got him into finally agreeing that there was space. He didn't
 really help create this space. It wasn't there according to any plan he had 
 and he's not free to move out of that space or handle that space, or be in 
 parts of that space at his own decision. 
 
 The whole universe is all rigged up to shove somebody someplace else.
 Always gotta be someplace else - move someplace else, here, there. 
 
 You get a time track, most people think time tracks are linear, 
 that's because they've been moved so often. 
 
 And as far as objects are concerned, you've got to restore his right 
 to create the energy with which to make objects. You do those two throngs.. 
 you do those two things.. why the universe will blow up. I mean - I didn't 
 mean to mention 1t. 
 
 Naw. You do those two things, why you have restored the capabilities
 of the thetan so this is a - this is a very direct.. this is a very direct 
 approach. Now, I've explained this at some 1ength to demonstrate to you that 
 liberty, eternity, and fo.. equality might in one age and time have been a 
 sort of a stopgap against force, but that we're talking about another higher 
 level of freedom, and it is a level of freedom which is obtainable. 
 
 Other freedoms haven't been quite so obtainable. We had some freedoms
 listed in the United States, not too long ago; that was freedom from want, 
 freedom from.. what are all those freedoms - freedom from want, freedom from 
 eating, uh.. freedom from.. yeah, yeah, yeah, wonderful. There were many 
 freedoms, and isn't it strange, "We will protect you," they all said. 
 
 "We're going to give you something more. We're going to give you some
 more possession which you didn't make and which will place you again in space
 which you didn't create, and which will, thereby, establish time outside your
 own decision to do so." 
 
 The dole is remarkable for the reduction of the self-respect of 
 people. If you've ever studied in that field, if you have ever investigated 
 people who have been on social handout, you will be stunned because these 
 people couldn't possibly.. couldn't possibly feel that way. 
 
 They border between rage and seizure and down into the lowest depths 
 of degradation. They.. they have all sorts of specious reasons why if they're
 going to accept the mater1al, why they have to accept it. That's all. It's.. 
 fantastic, and that's why you - going out to give charity and to help people 
 - there's only one way to help anybody, and that's take some MEST away 
 
 -53- 

 from him. That's right.. that's right. That happens to be terrible true if 
 you're really going to help somebody along this low liberty, eternity, 
 equality level of a MEST society, I mean of a homo sapiens society. 
 
 It's just all.. it's impossible to operate in.. in charity, because 
 the individual's self-determinism is already at such an ebb that he can't 
 support a little bit less self-respect, and he gets a little bit less 
 self-respect when somebody has to help him. That's the last ditch. 
 
 And that's why you get.. don't believe then or suppose that there is 
 no love in the universe, simply because it doesn't work in this society. It's 
 very true. It's only too true that along here in this low level of beautiful 
 sadness of.. of giving our all, and that sort of thing - that's MEST talking. 
 That's its perversion of a finer emotion. 
 
 And when you start to engage upon charity, you'd better take some 
 guns and bayonets along with you, because before you get through you'll need 
 them. You start in this society to help people, you get the very definite 
 answer right straight back, "You're trying to tell me that I have to be 
 helped." 
 
 Because in trying to help people, you place them in time and have 
 something to do with possession. And so they flashback on it. 
 
 There's only one safe way I know of to help anybody. I finally.. 
 finally know a safe way to help people, uh.. in this society. I did not know 
 this before, and it's been a very interesting contest, but that's this: Theta 
 clear 'em in a hell of a hurry. 
 
 And they go up above the level where they think they're weakened by
 accepting help. You can only help a strong man, really. It's very dangerous
 to help a weak one. 
 
 So, when you get these preclears and so on, get them right up there 
 into a strong man department, right away, quick. Otherwise they'll kick back 
 at you and you'll wonder why.. why this preclear that you started to process, 
 and you tried to process this preclear, went around and told everybody that 
 really what happened in the.. when she went to your home, and so forth, she 
 wouldn't want to talk about this but, well, ahem... 
 
 And one of the favorite tricks that a preclear who is at that level
 will do so horribly; they.. they go around and they tell one auditor that
 another auditor did horrible things to them in processing, and this second
 auditor agrees with him, and remedies some of these things that are 
 supposedly present, and then this auditor will go back to the first auditor,
 invariably, and tell the first auditor that the second auditor had said he
 was such a dirty bum and so on, and that this case was really now all messed
 up because of the second auditor. So the first auditor has to tie in and do
 something about this. 
 
 And a preclear at a certain level will do that - just shuttle around 
 until a whole group of auditors is just lacerated and shot to pieces. This is 
 an effort to destroy a group. But it's also a completely mechanistic thing on 
 the part of this preclear. 
 
 They're trying to say, "Really, I don't want help, because everybody 
 who tries to help me, and so forth, is really.. really I don't need help from 
 them." And 'then when she realizes, this preclear, or he realizes that 
 somebody has helped him, he has to say this other person is a dog to deny the 
 fact that he's been helped. 
 
 -54- 

 The answer to this is.. the answer to this is rocket up, high scaled
 bust 'em through, Theta Clear, and do it as rapidly as possible because 
 you've got a fellow who is so capable of producing himself some space. 
 
 lie's so capable of placing himself in space, he's so capable of handling 
 objects that the idea of.. of uh.. it being a criticism, because somebody 
 else gave him an object or showed him some space or something - it would 
 never enter his mind. 
 
 They'd say, "Well, uh.. what do you know? Yeah? Yeah, that's a pretty
 good illusion." Fellow way down tone scale would say at a certain level not
 too far down, "Oh, I can do a better illusion than that." And the fellow down
 the tone scale way below this thing would say, "Don't you think that there's
 something just a little bit nasty about illusions? Now I've noticed your 
 illusions in particular. I think they, I.. I think, well, I hate to say 
 anything, but they've been talking you know, about your illusions, and they..
 they..." 
 
 And way down below that they don't even look, they're MEST. All 
 right, now, when we have.. when we have a.. a preclear, and we want to free
 this preclear's ability to control himself or handle himself in the midst of
 the group, what do we do? 
 
 We orient him in space and with possessions to a point where he can
 handle his environment, and where he doesn't mind if the environment 
 occasionally handles him. And to orient our preclear with regard to a broader
 sphere of society, where you get him so he is able to handle and locate 
 things in space - handle possessions. 
 
 In another broader sphere, let's say the solar system, we're getting
 him to a point where he can handle space and possessions. 
 
 Now a little bit broader point, which is this end of this galaxy, we
 get him to a broader point where he can handle space and possessions. 
 
 Now, what do we do to get a preclear free? We get him so he can 
 handle space and possessions. 
 
 Now, that applies to this galaxy, and that applies to this island of
 galaxies, and that applies to the next island of galaxies, and that applies
 to ale these islands of galaxies, and that applies out to the outermost 
 boundary, since there is no boundary, 'cause space isn't that way, of the 
 MEST universe. 
 
 And I've been saying this in many ways, but I've been saying it this
 way, so I hope you don't forget it. And that is: A process which orients 
 itself around handling space and possessions will work. And a process which
 does not orient itself around space and possessions will eventually make 
 slaves. Now it's awfully arbitrary, isn't it? 
 
 Now, outside this galaxy there could be processes which didn't have
 to do with this but those are other games. As far as we're concerned it sure
 does. 
 
 It might be there are many ways out there of handling space and 
 possessions and other things and so on, so that we don't get slavery just 
 because some process wasn't oriented in that direction. But it's a safe 
 direction to orient it, isn't it? So whether it has to do with an old 
 facsimile, a secondary, a ridge, a flow, a concept, a feeling, affinity, 
 
 -55- 

 reality, comnunication, emotion, thought, effort, counter-emotion, 
 counter-thought, counter-effort, how do we handle these things. 
 
 Space and possessions, possession could be energy and, it could be 
 creation of. Now, but those are the keys. Those are the keys to the kingdom 
 called freedom. Now, when you are able to handle these things, there isn't 
 such a thing as a locked door, and it does not matter what you're handling by
 them, but the best thing to handle with them is, of course, that thing which 
 reestablishes two very essential rights to the preclear. 
 
 Two very essential rights, and that is: the right to his own sanity, 
 and the right to leave a game, which boils down to the right to have an 
 exertion of self-determinism, and the right to locate himself in some other 
 universe if he suddenly chooses to. 
 
 It's all right for people to have a right, but if they don't have the
 capability, the right is meaningless. So the right depends to some extent, in
 any case, upon an education about the right. Well, therefore, you restore 
 these things - you get freedom, and that's what we're trying to do. And you 
 should ask yourself, once in a while, when you're processing preclears, are 
 you sending them in that direction? 
 
 If you're sending them in that direction, you're being very 
 successful. If you're sending 50% of them in that direction you're being 
 extremely successful, and if you only send a few out of many, you're still 
 being successful. But if there's nobody going in that direction, you go in, 
 you find yourself a mirror, and you see whether or not you got a white robe on
 or horns. 
 
 It so happens that a case level V reacts actually against his own 
 choice and will - so thick are his ridges and stimulus-response mechanisms - 
 reacts quite often to pin a thetan down in the head. Actually do that - to pin
 the thetan down, work hard to, all the while carrying on a tremendous amount 
 of action that should be directed toward getting the thetan out. 
 
 Little things happen, it's.. it's.. it's not.. not quite 
 understandable that they.. it's coincidental, of course, but just as the blind
 man's sight was about to turn on, the preclear kicked the bed. And uh.. the 
 reason he did this, uh.. the reason he did this was because the auditor, uh..
 taking that, dropped an ashtray. 
 
 He had a preclear standing up and he was processing him just 
 beautifully, and the auditor dropped an ashtray quite incidentally just at the
 crucial moment there. And the preclear bumped into an object which he had been
 seeing as being someplace else, and it invalidated his sight again, and so 
 then the next auditor through really had to work. Yeah, just quite 
 coincidentally, just terribly coincidental that at the.. well, just, just at 
 the moment when.. when this.. this preclear uh.. well, he really had to stop 
 the session because, after all, they obviously weren't getting anyplace. 
 "Well, I.. I know you thought you were getting someplace, and possibly it 
 might have been and so forth, but there's not much use of continuing this." 
 Ah, ohhh... 
 
 Another thing is, "Oh, um, you saw the room around you there. You 
 looked at the room. What room were you looking at? Oh?" Oh, this.. this Y 
 level will be very polite. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I mean, I.. I.. I didn't mean to
 infer but you see, you had looked at everything all wrong. I mean - I didn't 
 mean to tell you that, but it was obvious. You would have found it out 
 anyway." Uh.. and so on. And.. it's just... "Well, I guess you just don't see
 well. Well, there isn't much you can do about that, but we'll work hard on it
 
 -56- 

 tomorrow. Now - cheer up because it isn't all lost." Uh-huh, uh-huh, well, 
 just a little bit of that sort of thing thrown along the line nails the 
 preclear down in his head just as nice as you please. Now that should tell 
 you, should tell you something about what the case of the auditor should be.
 The auditor's case oughta be in pretty good shape. One of the reasons it 
 oughta be in pretty good shape is, an auditor takes a dreadful beating in 
 terms of energy. 
 
 Oh, a preclear sits down, he's dispersing all over the place. There's
 energy flying all over the walls and the ceiling and the floor an..and ridges
 blow up and boom, and.. and the glee of insanity is flying... 
 
 You want to.. sometime when you're real good and clear go on down to
 an insane asylum someplace and just fly through the place, and just.. just go
 through the place. Down a corridor and out the other side. Go kinda fast - I
 would say about four or five times the speed of light. And when you get on the
 other side of it.. when you get on the other side of it, pick up a small 
 amount of the energy deposit that you've accumulated there just before you get
 rid of it, and look at it and feel its emotion. 
 
 It's the most fantastic thing. It's.. it's glee of insanity. Well, 
 looking back over this.. looking back over this, then, the restoration of 
 freedom lies unfortunately across a band which should have been very obvious
 to you - extremely obvious to you. 
 
 The second you look at these ridges, if you know anything about 
 Technique 88 and flows, it should tell you that your preclear is ordinarily on
 the average a little bit below the level of solid ridges. 
 
 He's got some ridges right there in his vicinity. And what do these 
 ridges say in terms of emotion? They say hate and anger. 
 
 You want to know why homo sapiens indulges in wars, and why he is so
 prone to experiencing hate, and why a homo sapiens fairly low on the line has
 such a good time hating his auditors and hating his friends? It's a matter of
 ridges, totally mechanical. 
 
 And this ridge of sensation here is a solid ridge of sensation, which
 very often expresses itself as a hatred of sensation. Hmmm. This gets 
 interesting, doesn't it? In other words, when you're curing him.. bad word 
 that.. but when you're freeing him, you're curing him of hate - because 
 there's hate. 
 
 The horriblest hate there is, of course, is really a harmonic below 
 what we consider apathy, and that's the hatred of MEST. MEST is have not and
 have. There's have not MEST, and there's have MEST. That makes positive and
 negative flows. Positive and negative elements and all sorts of things. 
 
 "Have me," some of it says. And, "Don't have me," the others say. And
 between the two you get a line. So what you've got here is your thetan any 
 time he's gone down the level on these, you're going to find out that he has a
 lot of hatred he can express. And if you go ahead and let him express it in
 terms of this life, and if you keep on running it consistently and continually
 addressed only to people and to specific things, you're not going to get him
 out of his head. 
 
 You're just getting a light emotional feeder off of the ridge which is
 there. What is this hate? This hate's a very interesting thing. It's the hate
 along the line of sensation. That's the only thing that really pins him down.
 
 -57- 

 Hate in sensation; it's a funny emotion. It really isn't an emotion 
 which has been adequately described, but you will very often find it by 
 running up with some preclear mock-ups that have to do with the butchery of 
 the opposite sex. 
  
 And with what glee they will go ahead and butcher the opposite sex. 
 Oh, but grim, really grim, really gruesome, and they feel wonderful 
 afterwards. And when they have this hatred, it.. it is actually a desire for
 sensation, which is held so tight and so close that it's closed all the space
 gaps. 
 
 It's closed the space gaps. This gap will be way close, clear up to 
 here, and if you were to ask this fellow where to plot the lower part of his
 body, he would plot it immediately below the thetan. And if you asked him 
 where to plot his mouth, he'd plot it back here in the back of his head. 
 
 Those gaps are closed gaps of space. The space has been contracted. 
 And as long as space is contracted, as long as it's pulled together, 
 particularly if it isn't even the fellow's space himself, you've got yourself
 a fine fancy ridge there to handle. 
 
 It's a wonderful ridge to handle, because it has to do even to the 
 point of body displacement. All right, when we look this over, then, we find
 out.. we find out that a relocation of space or a creation of space in which
 to locate something, a creation of energy to make materials in that space, and
 so on - all this is tremendously essential on doing this problem. And when we
 start to run anything like this, we're going to start picking up the emotional
 band. 
 
 One, the emotional section won't come apart easily. I mean, he.. he 
 isn't very free in his emotions because of this sensation which is pulled so
 tight together here. And he isn't free to move in space easily. And all space
 is, to some degree, contracted to him. He wants objects, and so it boils down
 to a very very astonishing point. 
 
 It means, then, freedom depends upon your ability to uncontract the 
 spaces which he has contracted, and it means just what it says, "Man wants 
 freedom." There couldn't be a more direct definition possible..And what 
 freedom is, and whether it's freedom for e person, a group, a society, a 
 galaxy, or anything else, it has to do with, he has to be able to uncontract
 his space. And if he can uncontract his space, the best way to do it is to 
 find out he can create space. If he does that, he'll let go. 
 
 And he's got everything smashed dawn tight here against himself, and,
 of course, he cannot be free. 
 Let's call it a day.
