This is the 3rd hour, December the 12th, afternoon lectures. Going to
 cover in this hour, a little bit different than I've been covering 'as we go
 along the line here, I'm going to cover Standard Operating Procedure Issue 
 III. And Standard Operating Procedure of Scientology was originated the end 
 of September in England, in 1952. And that was Issue I. Now that came out in
 the magazine SCIENTOLOGY issued from Phoenix, reprinted. That is.. been 
 changed to this degree: It has been shifted to take out of it anything except
 postulate processing, and creative processing. And spacation. And it has 
 those three processes as its basic, plus exercising the thetan perceptics. 
 
 The process is essentially very simple. This process makes a theta 
 clear. Extended and continued it makes a Cleared Theta Clear. Now it has this
 as a strangeness: You can use the various steps of this process, one after 
 the other, and get a thetan exterior. That is, the guy 1s outside and knows 
 it. He isn't astral-walking, he isn't in himself saying "I'm over there" and
 all this; he's outside and he knows it. He says, "Do you think I am?" or.. or
 something of this sort, he's not. 
 
 I mean, this is.. we're dealing with Aristotelian logic. Yay and nay,
 without a maybe. Of course he's going to be astonished, that as his 
 knowingness increases his outside-ness increases. And as his knowingness is 
 low, his inside-ness is high. And he'll say, "Yes, I'm outside," and he knows
 it. Well, he'll know it more and more, of course. But he knows he's outside.
 He'll get up to a point.. he'll get up to a point where he'll wonder if he 
 ever was in that damn thing. That's a fact. 
 
 Now what degree does he know it? The degree to which he will tell 
 you, "Yes, I know I'm outside." And what degree is that? Whatever he desires
 to call that degree of knowingness. This is very simple, you see, but it's
 very.. very crude, really. For instance, there are people here who are so 
 dispersed they don't know where the hell they are. They're.. they're way out,
 maybe! They make.. might be dispersed all over the place. And think therefore
 they're outside. 
 
 You see, they.. they.. they're just not anyplace. This would be their
 negative space. Negative space. That.. that negative space would.. space not
 only doesn't exist but it's elsewhere. Always elsewhere. 
 
 Now you'll pick these people up on the track, and uh.. you.. you'll 
 get them picked up, and uh.. collected. They're stuck here and stuck there 
 and stuck someplace else, and dispersed there, and things have moved into 
 their space someplace else, and when you first start to process 'em, you'll 
 find him someplace else, and he might say, "Oh, I just love it! I just.. just
 love it here, and I just wouldn't leave this under any circumstances," but 
 after twenty minutes of processing they say, "My God, I'm glad to be out of 
 that place!" That's a fact. 
 
 This MEST universe vector business. They've been forced to like it 
 somehow or another. You're liable to find him standing around a carnival, 
 which happens to be using one of his old skulls. I ran that one time. Fellow
 was waiting around in an animated skull. He.. it was his skull, and so on, 
 and the carnival was using it, to make its jaws flap. Carnival was using it 
 there, and.. and it had a red light in it, and its mouth was opening and 
 closing, at the entrance of a tunnel of love. Now you'd talk to this boy 
 about love, he'd just scream. You want to know about how simple an aberration
 can be, if you talked to him about tunnels, he'd go mad. 
 
 What'd this have to do, you must say - he must be lost in a tunnel. 
 No, he had a skull that was nailed up to a post outside the tunnel of love 
 with a red light in it. All right. Or he's guarding an area someplace; he's 
 
 -67- 

 been set to guarding an area. Or someplace down the track he may have been
 set to guarding somebody's wife. So he proceeds to guard his own. Yet he's
 down the track someplace guarding somebody else's wife, or somebody else's
 slave, or something, somewhere. 
 
 And he'll answer for it if anything happens; it's really been 
 impressed on him - electronically and every other way. Boy, he's.. he's.. he
 sure is hell on guarding women! Or she has been set to guarding or watching
 or spying upon somebody, and she's got this one confused with her husband, 
 and uh.. she's all upset about that too. You free 'em up on the track. I'm 
 trying to show you that just freeing a person up on the track, as we've known
 for a long time, is terrifically beneficial. 
 
 The dispersed case is stuck on the track, in lots of places. His 
 aberration directly derives from all the places he's stuck on the track. 
 Those are the most aberrative things. And his stuck-ness on the track is 
 represented by, one, a theta bop of some narrowness, which means a body, and
 a theta bop of some considerable width, which means an area. Such as 'Home 
 Universe'. He's still stuck in his home universe. Okay. So as you go down 
 Standard Operating Procedure, you have Case One, he's pretty well collected
 in present time, as far as space is concerned. Therefore he moves right out.
 
 From there on down he's less and less collected, but just the 
 operation in Steps Two.. Case Two, Case Three, Case Four, the operation alone
 of making him step outside may collect him. Case Five, no, no. He can't be 
 collected. He can't be collected simply by stepping outside. He's elsewhere,
 and he's elsewhere too solidly. 
 
 Now Case.. that's all a matter of space. Now, Case Six and Case Seven
 likewise are very dispersed. Only Case Six and Case Seven are really well- 
 collected at some other place on the track, not here. You know, they say, "He
 isn't all there"? Boy, is that apt! "It's enough to drive me out of my head."
 How apt. 
 
 So let's look over this from a standpoint of high practicality, just
 the standpoint of space. And we find out that space regulates the steps in 
 this standard operating procedure. 
 
 Now let's look at it from the standpoint of energy. And the 
 standpoint of energy.. we find as we go down the line, the person is more and
 more solid as an object. You would expect this is his space, is less and less
 well-organized, and he has less and less free space until he finally runs 
 into negative space, at about.. that is, he's out, and here, and there. And
 we get down, in energy we find it's more and more thick, more and more thick,
 more and more condensed. So that he is surrounded. A One, in homo sapiens, 
 normally has fairly dense energy around him. But he can move through it and
 it doesn't bother him too much. A Two has more condensed energy in his 
 immediate vicinity, has less space. A Three has even denser energy, a Four 
 much denser, and a Five, oh brother! You couldn't get this fellow out with a
 hacksaw, until you do some processing, get him collected, and get him some 
 space, and let him handle space and a few things like that. 
 
 A Six, "What engram?" They're all stacked in one place. The
 characteristic of.. the characteristic of energy as we go down the line, is a
 stuck needle. 
 
 Now the thetan can, to some degree, disperse and give space to the GE.
 Surprising. But the presence of a powerful thetan in the vicinity of a badly
 aberrated and badly packed up GE can give space to that GE. Just his presence
 is sufficient to stretch the amount of space around the GE. But we can have a
 
 -68- 

 condition like this. The steps being modified by the solidity of the GE. The
 GE is terribly solid, and we put him on an E-meter, put the preclear on the 
 E-meter, and the guy steps out of his head rather easily, and he is 
 practically on the bottom of the tone scale. And the needle registers stuck.
 
 How fascinating. It merely means that that E-meter measures first the
 GE and then the thetan. So you've got a GE who is stuck. Not the thetan. But
 when you get down to Five and Six, the person doesn't step out of his head, 
 he's low on the tone scale, and he does not demonstrate any real activity of
 needle. You've got a thetan who is not collected -- get how complex this can 
 be, now - a thetan who is not collected, who has heavy energy deposits, very
 solid, around him too, who is in a GE, which has very solid ridges, and which
 is pretty badly dispersed itself. 
 
 Now you don't necessarily get a stupid case when you do this. The 
 brilliance of this case is dependent upon the.. a little funny factor, that 
 uh.. isn't well isolated at all. It is above the levels of wave length. And,
 you can imagine this, thetans vary from thetan to thetan in potentiality of 
 creating space and energy in it. There's a real honest-to-goodness variation
 in intelligence, then, which comes from, you might say, theta itself. There's
 a real difference of horsepower that comes from theta itself. Hut as you 'look
 around you, you will not find any thetan of sufficiently low horsepower, as 
 far as I know at this time, to remain unable to be.. incapable of being 
 collected and being made into a theta clear. 
 
 The guy has to be awfully bright to be here at all in no matter what 
 kind of a condition. And the physical infirmity of the individual is no index
 of the power or ability of that individual. The solidity of ridges is no 
 index either. Because what's postulating there is not using energy. The 
 energy's getting in the road of it. And it's not using space. So it's 
 distribution of space. 
 
 But let's take the real spinners, and we find an exception to that. 
 The real spinner was described once to me to me by Richard DeMille, who wrote
 those coursebooks. That's Richard DeMille, Cecil B.'s boy. An awful good kid,
 Richard. He probably knows.. way up on this subject, he's probably one of the
 best, quote, authorities on Scientology there is. 'Cause I'm not an authority
 on it. Uh.. I couldn't be by definition. 
 
 And uh.. he explained one time, he says, "You know," he said, "what 
 psychotics look like to me?" He says, "You.. you.. you take a uh.. psycho, 
 and you turn him loose, and he's going in this straight line, and a little 
 tiny impulse hits him from one side, and it moves him over from going on the
 straight line, and he moves off in this new direction as modified by that 
 impulse. And he walks off in that direction. And then the next time, some 
 other impulse hits him and shoves him over into some other direction, and 
 starts him on a new course, exterior impulse, and he moves right on over and
 follows in that direction." Of course, he's obeying the laws of particles. 
 See? Now, and he gets hit from another quarter, and he moves off in this new
 direction, got this erratic zig-zag. 
 
 Now you get a person who's not, and he starts on a course. And a 
 particle hits him, and he might stagger a little bit on it, and he keeps 
 right on on the same course. And another particle hits him to shove him off 
 in some other direction, and he might stagger a little bit in that direction,
 he stays right on the same course. And the only thing that happens to him, he
 slows down. 
 
 Really, that's the essential difference between the psychotic and the
 sane person. The psychotic obeys the law of particles; the sane person obeys
 the law of free aligning action. He aligns action, continues to align action.
 
 -69- 

 And is not a particle. Your psychotic also looks and feels like an object. He
 has no responsibility; he is handled, he doesn't do the handling. 
 
 So we have these complexities, with regard to these steps of this 
 case, and therefore we find that a psychotic quite often will simply step 
 right out of his head. You wall through a sanitarium, it's about the same 
 percentage of people in the sanitarium can step outside of their head as the 
 people on the street. And uh.. mad as hatters. 
 
 So there's something there, there's the essential capability of 
 persistence in alignment, not capability of reasoning, is the difference 
 between sanity and psychosis. So don't expect just because this person is mad
 as a hatter and is treating everything like objects that he can't step out of
 his head. Don't nake the essential mistake of saying then that there are 
 cases outside the action and perimeter of Standard Operating Procedure Issue 
 III. There aren't. 
 
 And what do you do with a psychotic? Well, if you can get his 
 attention at all, you give him Standard Operating Procedure Issue III. You 
 just go right on down, you'll find out that he can't do anything else by the 
 time you get down to Step Six, you get ARC Straight wire as another process 
 in addition to those I named first at the beginning of this lecture. But 
 you're already operating outside a perimeter of uh.. contact. So that's 
 really just establishing accessibility. 
 
 And a better process, that is ABC Straightwire in terms of mock-ups. 
 I et's put a little man out there, and let's see if we can hear him talk. So 
 we say ARC Straight wire, throw it in under creative processing. All right. 
 ARC Straightwire'll solve it, though. 
 
 So, here we have this process applying to no matter how many 
 preclears you've got, or what they're doing or anything else. If you're going
 toward theta clearing, this is the process you use. If you're going to fix 
 up a chronic somatic you may attempt to resolve it by simply using mock-ups, 
 without even essaying toward theta clearing. 
 
 But if you want my candid opinion, l believe that theta clearing an 
 individual by Standard Operating Procedure is a much much faster method of 
 knocking out chronic somatics. That is an opinion. Because I found out 
 occasionally if you start to fool around with somebody with too much 
 processing before you theta clear him, he's liable to bust a ridge or --
 something of the sort that makes it less possible to theta clear him. Once in
 a while this happens. 
 
 Furthermore, he's subject to every ridge the GE's got. And as long as 
 he's subject to those ridges he's gonna start responding like homo sapiens to
 everything. The fastest process I know is Standard Operating Procedure Issue 
 III, for anything. Good for man and beast. 
 
 You'd be surprised sometime when you're a good thetan, how many 
 beasts you could walk up to and tell them step out of their heads and they'd 
 do it. Thetans get all fouled up, by the way. One day they're very fond of 
 cats or something of the sort, and one fine day why they're.. see a little.. 
 they're a thetan you see, and they're kind of maundering around in a sub-zero
 state of unknowingness, and they get the impression of this cat, very big, 
 they feel this cat is over there, and they're outside of a body at the time, 
 and they're wandering around, and just drifting, and they.. they say, "That 
 poor little cat seems to be in pain" and they put a tractor wave on the cat 
 and they go 'Slurp!' - and they're a cat. And they say "Meow!" 
 
 -70- 

 All right. We uh.. girl was run in Wichita one time, they couldn't do 
 anything for her, and couldn't do anything for her, and all of a sudden they 
 found a past life as a lion. Well that'd be all right, but there is no past 
 life of a lion on the GE track. And we were running GE's at that time. And 
 then when the rest of it came out, it became even worse.. she had eaten her 
 keeper! And I never heard of anybody two million years ago, a lion in the 
 forest primeval would have a keeper. Until we discover it was in the Chicago 
 zoo! 8ecame very bad. They ran the incident, she became sane; that's all that
 seemed to be wrong with her. She went away very happy and cheerful about 
 everything. 
 
 Now.. now we've got some kind of an idea of what had happened there, 
 she'd probably had been hanging around the zoo. And uh.. she ate a keeper. 
 Checkup of the newspaper records demonstrated that at that time a keeper had 
 been eaten by a lion at the Chicago zoo. Anyway, we'll go on.. Don't buy any 
 of these wild piece of science fiction here. 
 
 You can just murder the police, if you want to. You can go down to 
 those lie detector operators and really fix their clocks for them! You could 
 say, "Did you ever ask any of these criminals that you're putting on this lie
 detector if they ever have lived before this life?" 
 
 And they'd say, "Of course not." 
 
 You say, "Well, you've got one right there, you mind if I ask him?" 
 You say, "Did you ever live before?" Off the tape go the needles! You say, 
 "Did you ever commit a crime last life? What are you accused of in this 
 life.. bank robbery? Oh, well did you ever rob a bank in some past life? 
 When? What bank? Where?" Oh, Chicago 1932, or.. or New York City uh.. 1912, 
 or something of the sort, or Boston, 1904. And you tell the guy, you say, 
 "Well all right, what's the names of the other guys? Let's spell them out.. 
 that were in the robbery," and you just beat the information out of him by 
 selection of letters, you know. And alphabets, and so on. Make your police 
 detector guy send a wire to Boston. There was a bank robbed at that time. 
 They caught the other guys later, too. 
 
 Okay. Before you do Standard Operating Procedure Issue III you set up 
 your E-Meter, and you do creative and destructive, very destructive, 
 assessment. Just do an assessment. Now I'm working on symbolism of language, 
 a table. Be ready one of these days. If you don't have the table just break 
 it down by dynamics. Somebody wrote me the other day that dynamics had been 
 installed in several incidents. What's he think any kind of an implant.. any 
 kind of an implant would do to a guy, huh? But install.. let's say it was a 
 group implant. Well, how.. how on earth do you suppose the guy would ever, 
 under any circumstances not have the third dynamic accentuated, if he's being
 told by hypnotists to be loyal to a group? They weren't installed one way or 
 the other. 
 
 Okay. You can read all about this here if you want; we've got all of 
 these various definitions. And I'm going to go over these definitions in 
 another lecture. We're only interested here in operating procedure itself. 
 And we find out that Step One, positive exteriorization, reads as follows: 
 "Step One, positive exteriorization. Ask the preclear to step a foot back of 
 his head. If he does, ask him to go back further, then up, then down, 
 practicing placement in space and time. Then one asks pc if there are any 
 items in the body he would like to repair and proceeds to let the preclear 
 repair them according to the preclear's own ideas of how he should do it. 
 
 "Then educate the preclear by asking him to create and destroy his 
 own illusions, into finally getting a certainty of illusion, and from this 
 
 -71- 

 certainty perceiving the real universe with all perceptics. Note: The realest 
 universe is of course one's own illusory universe, and should be completely 
 rehabilitated before one attempts to perceive or handle or worry about the 
 MEST universe." It says 'complete' in that, that is a typing error. It should 
 he 'rehabilitated'. It's more important to rehabilitate that, one's own 
 ability to create a universe and destroy it - it's more important to do that 
 than it is to ask him to perceive MEST universe waves. 
 
 "Rehabilitated sonic, vista and so forth, the MEST universe, are very 
 clear and very certain. Clear perception in early stages does not attest to 
 being outside. The only test is whether the preclear knows he's outside, and 
 failing the first line of this step go to Step Two." 
 
 All right, let's take a comment on that. That.. that's a very simple 
 step. You say, "All right, now BE a couple of feet back of your head." Fellow 
 says, "Who, me?" And you say, "Yeah. Let's just pretend that you're inside 
 your head and let's he a couple of feet back of the head." Well I don't know 
 what percentage, about.. probably about fifty percent of your cases suddenly 
 say, "Okay, I'm there." Just like that. It won't even seem strange to him. 
 
 The awareness is such a high turnup of fact and actuality, that it 
 causes no comment from the preclear. He just knows this is true. He kinda 
 thinks he knows it all the time. And of course he did. Now you just put him 
 on through drills. 
 
 If he doesn't step out, if he says, "What? Oh uh.. out back of ny 
 head? Uh.. why, um.. umrr, uh.. I.. what are you talking about? Uh.. uh.. no, I
 uh.. you mean step.. step back of my head, or be back of my...? I'm sorry, I 
 uh... Well I guess I can.." You go to Step Two. He says, "Yep, I'm there," 
 you've got Step One, and you just carry on. 
 
 Now the drill here is quite important. You know a lot of this drill, 
 it's just creative processing, I noticed here we've evidently got a line 
 left out in this copy. "Change postulates." Doesn't it ask him to change 
 postulates here? Nope. That's evidently been left right square out of this 
 copy. So let's make sure that we add to this copy, and you nake sure that you 
 know, Change Postulates. Give him rising scale postulate changes, and shift 
 his postulates, and change his mind around, after he's outside. Because 
 actually that's the only process there is. Convincing him through action that 
 he can make postulates and make things happen by postulates. If you haven't 
 got that yet, you.. it's all you're trying to do with mock-ups, is make him 
 make new postulates, say, "Yeah, I can do that." 
 
 Course if he says, "I can do that" he can do it. That's that! I mean 
 you finally.. he finally finds out how high and tall this gets, and how 
 absolute it is, and he gets very interested, and wow. He'll go through 
 periods of heing very careful not to make postulates, too. He's afraid if he 
 says the Empire State Building will fall down, it'll fall. No it won't, not 
 for quite a while. 
 
 All right? So get Postulate Processing in there in Step Two. And now 
 failing the first line of this step go to Step Two. By orientation. Older 
 issues of this said 'negative exteriorization'. That's still a process. Evans
 Farber played around with that. You'll find it in Issue I, Issue.. I mean 
 uh.. yeah, Issue I, if you want to look it over. Negative exteriorization. 
 It's also covered in 8-80. And it's the only one given in 8-80. 
 
 See, the one I was using tempore that had as its emphasis.. on 
 responsibility. Now you can get all the process you want out of 
 responsibility. If you've really got to specialize in a process, there are a 
 
 -72- 

 lot of them, and you know that you can specialize in this process. You can 
 specialize in Cause and Effect. You can specialize if you want to in Have and
 Have not. You can specialize, if you want to, in Responsibility, 
 Irresponsibility. Aesthetics and Responsibility. You can do this, very 
 easily, and if you use responsibility you'll blow him out of his head. Have 
 and Have not won't blow him out of his head, but for some reason or other 
 responsibility does. 'Cause it's mainly his responsibility for his 
 environment and his body, and that sort of thing, that keeps him there. 
 
 All right, Negative Exteriorization was a very simple affair; it 
 simply says, "Try not to be a foot behind your head". And the guy'd bang 
 into it. Well, that's the opposite vector, MEST universe, this guy is very 
 very heavily influenced by flows who can do this, and quite often will do it.
 But a preclear occasionally also gets mad, and quite in addition to it, I 
 haven't found auditors being able to make it work. 
 
 Uh.. this is one - I can make it work, I haven't any trouble. 
 Evidently Farber can make it work. But practically every auditor I've trained
 sooner or later come around to me and said, "Ron, you know, I can't get 
 anybody to work on that negative exteriorization." 
 
 Well, there's.. as I said, there's several kinds of processes then. 
 One of those processes is simply a process that I can use. Well, boy, I.. I
 can make anybody well with practically anything. I could probably even take 
 psychoanalysis now and make it work. I mean, let's get impossible! How would
 you make it work? Oh, you'd.. I don't know. You'd say so-and-so and 
 so-and-so, and you'd look at the guy real hard and emanate from a couple of 
 different directions, and plow down a few ridges and say, "Well, you feel 
 guilty about that? Well, that's fine, now tell me all about that." And while 
 he's talking, why pull a few more ridges off of him, monkey around... I don't
 know what you'd do. 
 
 Then there's a process that uh.. two or three guys can use, and with 
 which they'll occasionally do results, and then there's a process two or 
 three guys can use and produce results rather uniformly. Then there's a 
 process that you can use, and other people can use, and you know what you 
 can.. how to conmmunicate it, and you can talk about it and other people can
 use it and they can get results, and these results are very uniform and 
 that's a very desirable process. 
 
 That's a process you want. You don't want these other processes.
 First Book had a lot of that, "several can do it but a lot couldn't". I had a
 lot of that. 
 
 So a negative exteriorization, still a process, works on opposite 
 vectors. I'm sorry that.. that uh.. it didn't go further than it went. 
 Orientation is a nore able process. By the way, negative exteriorization 
 wasn't just a lost effort; let's not get that idea about this thing. It 
 showed that there was an awful fast method. You didn't process flows on 
 Responsibility and so forth, and blow the guy out. It was a sudden approach. 
 You just walked up to the guy and you said, "Try not to he two feet back of 
 your head" and poof! In sane of these cases he was. And it demonstrated that 
 it could be done. And as such it was a very valuable process, because it a11 
 of a sudden pointed up, gee whiz, there's a snappy one. And out of that, why 
 you can just work to make the process snappy. 
 
 So by orientation, ask the preclear, still inside, to locate the 
 inside of his forehead. And ask him to put a pressor beam against and push 
 himself out the back of his head. Supplement by this asking him to reach out
 through the back of his head and grab the wall witty a pulling beam, and pull
 
 -73- 

 himself out. Ask him to steady himself outside and then by means of beams, to 
 raise and lower himself while outside, and to move to various parts of the 
 room while still outside. 
 
 --
 
 "Use creative processing and by orientation as a thetan placing 
 himself as a thetan in spaces and time he can become sure of his 
 whereabouts." Create spaces and times, in other words, in which to place 
 himself. "Have him find and cast off old lines which have their terminals 
 fixed to him." You're going to have a rough time with this boy, because he's 
 going to be nailed down, if you have to get him out by force. You got.. you 
 got lines on him, and very often lines up to the sky, and old communication 
 lines that have been on other people and they're snapped back at him and oh 
 brother! is he a tangled mass of energy! 
 
 "Have him find these lines wherever they are, and attach them to 
 radiators and water taps and get the energy to drain out of them. Two will 
 ordinarily have enough lines to cause him to snap back in the head when he 
 releases beams. Failing this, go to Step Three." In other words that's.. it's 
 just the thing. Here's a guy in a box, and there's no back to the box. 
 There's a man in a box and you see him there in a box, and you come along and 
 you say, "Well, why don't you get out of the box?" and he says, "I can't." 
 And you say, "Well how about putting your hands against the front of the box, 
 and give it a shove." And of course he shoves himself right on out of the 
 box. That's all there would be to that. 
 
 When he gets outside he's outside. There isn't anything esoteric 
 about it. There's one more thing about Step One I've got to mention, that's a 
 very simple thing. It concerns itself.. it's better to say "BE two feet bach 
 of your head" than "MOVE two feet back of your head." A Step Two, you say 
 "MOVE out", he pushes himself around, he uses effort. And then you work on 
 him so he can think himself to places. Think himself in one part of the room, 
 and think himself to another part of the room, then think himself elsewhere, 
 and he'll pop there. Very fast travel. 
 
 Get him out of his use of beams to propel himself around, as fast as
 you can. That's done by rehabilitating his use of beams. Make him so good at
 using beams that he doesn't need beams. Not just discouraging him from using
 beams. That's the Hindu method. "Bring him down tone scale, make MEST out of
 him." Okay. 
 
 Step Three, Space Processing. This is Spacation. Spacation is, "...in 
 the MEST universe has forced upon the thetan its spacial dimensions and 
 directions the thetan is likely to become a point which is being subjected to 
 all counter-efforts and emotions of his environment, for his entire concept 
 of space is being determined by the MEST universe." And of course he can 
 agree with the MEST universe to.. down to a point where he agrees with the 
 NEST universe till he can't see it anymore; you realize that, don't you? A 
 guy's got to be able to perceive an illusion before he can perceive the MEST 
 universe very well. That's one of the things that led into creative 
 processing. You see uh.. the thing is an illusion. 
 
 Test: You improve the guy's ability to create illusion and he all of 
 a sudden begins to look at the MEST universe, and he sees IT better. You'd 
 say, "Well this is just force at work." Uh-uh! No. You keep on improving his 
 perception, you keep on improving his own illusions, and perceptions, just.. 
 just by creating illusions. The first thing you know he goes and looks 
 straight through the MEST universe, and he says, "What MEST universe?" Isn't 
 that fascinating? So we've got an illusion as being the key to these 
 illusions. So, all these things we've been studying about Spacation are 
 usable then, in Step Three. --

 "Have the thetan still inside find his feet in the opposite direction 
 where the MEST body is located by the MEST universe." It's quite a little 
 process, by the way. You haven't heard anything about this yet. Unless you've
 read this. Why don't you try that, right now? 
 
 Student: "Say it again." 
 
 Where are your feet located, with relationship to where your body is? 
 Now let's locate them straight back of your head. Now let's locate them 
 straight above your head. Now let's locate 'em way off to the right - way 
 off! Now let's locate your feet way off to the left. Now let's locate your 
 feet back where your feet are. That's a real silly one, isn't it? Anybody 
 snap any ridges doing that? Nobody got any ridges snapped? 
 
 Well, if you just throw a preclear's feet around, or throw his body 
 around, and put his body right side up and upside down and so forth, all 
 connected to his head, you can finally put his head down in his stomach. Then
 put his head down where his feet are, and he'll be sitting there looking at 
 the top of his head. 
 
 Let's try that again, Let's put your feet straight out back of you, 
 and upside down. Make 'em point that way, back of you. Let's locate them. 
 Now, wiggle your toes out there. You got that? Wiggle your toes real good. 
 Now, put your feet apart and put them back together again, out back of your 
 head. Now put your feet back where your feet are. Now let's locate your 
 stomach, in space, with relationship to where you are. Now let's take your 
 body, and putting the head where the stomach was, stretch it out 
 horizontally, so your feet are way out in back of you. Put your head down 
 there where your stomach is.. now turn it blue.. now turn it green. Now take 
 a look at the back of your head.. take a good look at the back of your head. 
 Now turn your whole body upside down, so that your feet are up in the air and
 your head is about where it is. Now turn it what is laughingly called right 
 side up. Anybody flip out, and find themselves looking at the back of their 
 head, that they hadn't done this before? Hmm? Hmm? Did you? 
 
 Student: Yes. 
 
 LRH: Okay, there's one. Anybody else, find himself looking at the 
 back of his head when he'd never seen it before? Well, that's a very, very 
 fast operation. I hardly gave you any of this technique at all, see? And we 
 got somebody who did! 
 
  Student: At least I think I did. 
 
 Well sure! A guy doing this will say, "I think I did." It takes a lot 
 of drill. Now you just keep that up, see. Now you put the guy's head back 
 where it belongs and you give him some other kind of a head, then you put his
 feet some other direction, and then you keep locating him in space, and 
 locate the body in various orientations in space, you see? And you use the 
 feet as anchor points, make the feet widen.. and then finally able to control
 the body. Let's put the body out horizontally, way back, and then move the 
 feet out, and move them in again, and then move them in walking motions. 
 
 Guy'll finally say, "I.. you know, I can handle this body.." if you 
 keep drilling this.. "I can handle this body from any position." Is the 
 mission it calls, "If I can handle it from any location, I can probably 
 handle it from outside. So it's safe for me to move out!" That's all. And 
 it's just drill, drill, drill, drill, and you just keep that up. And find out
 if he springs. Work him like that, maybe a little longer than I worked you. 
 
 -75- 

 If you.. you're going to get that technique, you're going to get it quick. 
 Because that's one of the techniques that you would use in Orientation and 
 Spacation. --
 
 All right. "Have him create difference in his body, and reverse the 
 various limbs and positions according to his viewpoint. Each one in 
 disagreement with the MEST universe. Particularly as appertains to gravity 
 and other influences." Stop him agreeing with the body, in other words. "This 
 sets up an ability to disagree with the MEST universe in terms of space. Have 
 him locate his eyes in the back of his head and the soles of his feet and in 
 other places. Have him assume other bodies, each time changing them slightly 
 and putting them away. Then have him gather himself Into his normal MEST 
 universe spacial area, and go to Step One." 
 
 Go through all this drill, see? What you're doing also is testing. 
 He's testing, way out this way and way out that way. Is it safe to be in that 
 space? You see, he doesn't really know. He's just got to take the MEST 
 un1verse's word for it. 
 
 Voice: It may be interesting, I.. just while you're talking there, I 
 just turned my head around on op.. I turned re body around, and my head this 
 way and put you back there, and all of a sudden I didn't know which way was 
 front! Just for an instant. 
 LRH: Hmm-hmm. 
 Voice: I was aware I didn't know which way to look. 
 LRH: Hmm-hem. Very interesting! You.. you get a guy, you see, he's.. 
 he's... 
 
 Voice: Sweating! 
 
 LRH: You see, he's.. he's so used to using this body for orientation 
 that if you take it away from him he feels he won't be oriented in any 
 circumstance whatsoever. And he's got a dependency on the body for 
 orientation. Now, space processing has added to it.. you go to do more space 
 processing, you just do anchor point processing. Either in this step, or just 
 in generally handling your preclear. I've done a lot of spacation. Anchor 
 point processing. 
 --
 
 This isn't a complete list of what you do in spacation. This is just 
 what you do in springing a thetan. If he has the enormous stress on the body 
 as his sole and only anchor point, your chances of getting him out aren't 
 good. Until you've collected him. 
 
 Now you can run things on the track, you can run mock-ups, you can do 
 this in many ways. But if he's got an absolute certainty that he needs that 
 body in order to find himself, oh boy! So you just handle that body, and 
 manhandle it, and mishandle it, and put the wrong scenes in front of it and 
 the right scenes in front of it, and put it upside down and right-side-to, 
 and put the limbs in the wrong places, and reverse everything and make the 
 body do things that it couldn't possibly do, just like he did there.. what 
 say uh.. turns the body the other way and facing his head.. put it in back.. 
 and oh boy, all of a sudden the guy gets, "Where the hell am I?" Let him get 
 that shock a few times. Till he can stand it. And he'll move out! 
 
 He'll say, "What am I doing in this thing? I don't need this thing! I 
 needed it for orientation. Well I can still keep an eye on it, and be 
 elsewhere." 
 
 -76- 

 All right. Next one is Step Four, Ridge Running. Now that's only in 
 here because it's a good process, as itself. Haven't had very many people use
 it very successfully. But I've had enough people use it successfully, so that
 it's still there. When done this way, Ridge Running works, on some cases. 
 Fascinating, too! Case is terribly occluded, and you all of a sudden give him
 these little white flows. I'm not going to go in and tell you how to do Ridge
 Running at this time. 
 
 Show 'em a little white flow, and.. that's a command flow, a 
 not-command flow, and all of a sudden the guy comes to the realization he's 
 not only outside, looking at his body, but he's in realization that, "My God,
 I can handle this thing." That's all he's trying to learn. That's all you're
 trying to teach him, when you want him.. to get him outside. He can handle 
 that body without putting lines on it, without doing anything to it and 
 without snapping back into it every time it's hurting. 
 
 You're telling him he's more powerful and he's better able to control
 it outside than inside. He's inside because he can't control it or anything 
 else unless he's inside. You're going to fix him up so he can control 
 anything he wants to, particularly the body from outside without any lines, 
 flows or anything. That's theta clear. He's.. person's just stable outside 
 the body, and he's handling it. 
 
 All right, Black and White Control Processing. Now you've seen some 
 examples of that. That is just straight, "Put up a spot". The guy's eyes open
 or shut. And have him see it. Move it. Change it from black to white, white 
 to black, enlarge it, contract it, move it around in circles, let it persist,
 turn it on, turn it off, put it behind him, put it below him, and so on. To 
 the tiniest gradient scale that you can get him to do this, and then increase
 it. You use the lowest level that you can get him to do, and know he's doing,
 and then you get him increasing this and you just go right on increasing it,
 from there on. 
 
 And it gives him orientation and control over his mock-ups. His 
 mock-ups get better and better and better and better and all of a sudden he's
 got completely control over his mock-ups. But that is the lowest gradient 
 scale and that is Step Five. And that determines Step Five. 
 
 Step Five will first tell you, "I see everything totally black. I 
 can't get any mock-up, I can't get any pictures, I just vaguely imagine 
 something, when I do get something it flitters by so fast I can't tell what 
 it is." Well the answer to that is, "Put up a spot" and get him to control 
 the spot. So the result is that he can't control or see or use mock-up 
 processing - you think. And you've got Black and White Control Processing 
 moved out to be something else or someplace else. 
 
 Well, it's not. It's the lowest step of gradient scale mock-ups and 
 it's right on the gradient scale of mock-ups. And the only reason we call 
 attention to it is, is for some cockeyed reason - I have explained this a lot
 of times, ever since I first picked it up, and by golly, I still get 
 questions on it! So we just made a.. a process out of it and said, "It is a 
 process." Well, it's really not a process; it's the lowest gradient scale 
 action of perception of mock-ups. A tiny black spot. 
 
 The guy says, "I imagine things, but I don't see them." No, no. Black
 and White Control Processing. "Control that spot. Turn it white. Turn it 
 black. Move it up. Move it down. Move it to the left. Move it to the right."
 What do you know! The guy's tone will come way up on an E-meter as he 
 realizes all of a sudden, "My God, I can actually control a spot of light!" 
 You'd be surprised. And there's your very occluded case. 
 
 -77- 

 All right. What else do you do for this case? Well, it stresses the 
 necessity to give him an E-meter assessment. You find out a lot about this 
 Step Five. He comes all the way down through Ridge Running, no good. So we'll
 have to talk about Step Five very carefully, all by itself. Well he's the guy
 that can't see, can't feel, can't hear. He might be quite bright, he might be
 quite worthwhile, quite powerful. But no mock-ups. He's in agreement with the
 HEST universe like mad! That's the trouble with him. Very often your engineer
 will walk himself into being a Step Five, in the exercise of his profession, 
 because he has to agree so much. 
 
 All right, Step Six, says ARC Straight Wire. Well, you can get him 
 into ARC with mock-ups if you can get mock-ups. Or you can get control 
 processing a little bit, but actually you'd get this.. some guy to remember 
 something tlat's really real to him, he'll pop up the tone scale. "Can you 
 get something that's really real to you?" 
 
 And he's below any level of reality that he thinks he could reach, 
 and Step Seven is Present Time Body Orientation. "Where's your body?" Person 
 who needs a Step Seven of course is insane. That's an insane condition. 
 "Where's the light switch?" 
 
 "What's the realest thing in this real room, to you, eh? What's the 
 realest thing in this room?" 
 
 "The light switch". 
 
 Finally find him so he could locate the auditor. Maybe he can't 
 locate the auditor. Can he locate his big toe? All of a sudden he says, "My 
 God," he says, "Yes." All of a sudden he feels kind of sane. "I can locate my
 big toe. There it is! Aha!" Big line charge. The guy was crazy a few minutes 
 before and now he's tippily sane. He'll go off again and on again, Finnegan. 
 But he can locate his body. 
 
 Well there's the gradient scale of the guy who is able to step out 
 and knows he's a thetan to the gradient scale of the guy who doesn't only.. 
 not know he's a thetan, but he doesn't even know he's got a body. 
 
 Okay, and that is a brief rundown then, and the over-all rundown on 
 Standard Operating Procedure Issue III. Now we have to cover these steps in a
 much fuller sense. Each step at a time, particularly Steps Four, and Steps 
 Five. And of course Steps Six and Seven. And Steps Four and Five, because 
 they're the steps that have been the bafflers. The rest of them are easy. 
 
 And then we've got to cover, specifically, the exact drills you put a 
 thetan through. We're not dealing, fortunately, with an inexact science which
 depends upon my opinion or my idea. Next guy that says this, "your.. 
 according to your ideas..." I'm gonna to pop! I mean, just out of hand! And 
 my NEST body has been covert and mean and ornery, and vicious and under my 
 control and trying to kick back at me and it hasn't been able to, or anything
 of the sort, and and.. the next time I uh.. I'm just going to let it go! So 
 if you see somebody fly off the stage madly, you'll know what happened! 
 Hubbard just took the control point off. Be my MEST body's fault! 
 
 Okay. We uh.. should know Standard Operating Procedure, Issue III, by 
 heart. By heart. You should know it. You should always use it, and when you 
 process a case, process it by that procedure, and don't get innovative. 
 Because this process saves you time, and makes theta clears, and I hope 
 that's what you're trying to do. 
 
 Okay. Thank you very much, I'll see you tomorrow.
