We have so much material here to study. We'll just keep barreling
 along. And there was no third afternoon lecture today, so this is the first
 hour of the evening lecture of December the 16th. 
 
 And we're going to talk about Memory. And when I say 'memory', I do
 not mean human memory. I'm not even vaguely interested in human memory, 
 because human memory is a sort of a weird combination of stimulus-response.
 Somebody else remembers something and they bat it out, and a beam or a noise
 hits a ridge and the ridge re-echos and it goes into an entity and the 
 entity says, "Let me see. I'll have to think about it." And then it goes 
 over into another circuit and then it goes into a little other circuit. And
 then it goes around a couple of loops in space, and then it goes into 
 another ridge. 
 
 This ridge, by the way, is about 180 feet out and it has to travel
 in the interim through a great many ridges before it starts getting into the
 thousands of ridges in the head. 
 
 The course of the thought in homo sapiens in a very aberrated state
 is almost unplottable. Nobody could plot it because there just isn't that
 much paper. It just goes here and there and everywhere and it kicks in and
 kicks out. 
 
 Now you basically used to take off of homo sapiens the first ridges.
 You used to take the facsimiles off the first ridges, and if you shot a 
 circuit, you were shooting those first ridges. We were getting excellent 
 results doing this and we were making something that was a darned good homo
 sapiens. We did this. 
 
 All right. We're not making a darned good homo sapiens anymore. 
 We're making a theta clear. And not only that, but we're making an operating
 thetan, which is the next immediate level. The levels would go, as we had on
 an earlier lecture: theta exterior - he's out, but if the body were to be
 injured he would be back in; theta clear - the body could be fed through a
 mowing machine and he would simply say, "Well, there it goes." And uh.. the
 level that - he would probably feel kind of sad about it.. but it would.. he
 would still be there with his identity. You've made an immortal, that's all.
 I mean, minor goal. 
 
 Now let's go up level and find an operating thetan. If you take a 
 theta clear (and when I say 'stable outside' that is very far from an 
 absolute term, because a theta clear does a rollercoaster). Sometimes he's
 better and sometimes he's not better. And the first thing that you do when
 you run all this - theta clearing consists of, of course - just all you have
 to do is run everything it says in Standard Operating Procedure Issue Five,
 that's all. You can omit Steps Six and Seven. But you can even do those, if
 you want. And you just run everything there is in Standard Operating 
 Procedure Issue Five and you've got a theta clear. That's all the processes
 we.. we're working with, really. We've got a lot of other processes, and you
 can vary.. vary your processing with them once in a while and find out what
 happens with them, and you'll find them all junior to such a thing. 
 
 Once in a while, by the way, with one of these Fifth Invaders, 
 you've got little trick processes such as you mentioned there. You.. you get
 the guy to dis.. you drill him on hands until he no longer is just going,
 'Yaaaahh!' on the subject of 'hands'. And uh.. and then you make him stand
 up against the wall, see. You face the wall and.. and make him put these 
 hands at the side and then take his 'beam directors' off of his arms and put
 'em over against the wall and feel the wall with the beam directors right
 
 -77- 

 there. He's.. he's got beams, you see. They run like that. 
 
 Uh.. thetans use various methods, for instance, in dressing up a 
 body so it'll work. And this accounts, in a large measure for the different
 postures and actions which you find from person to person. They're rigged
 differently. They're.. they're tied up differently. The cables runnin' 
 differently and so on. My body runs on a rod principale. There's a 
 supporting rod underneath these arms, back of the arms, back of the legs.
 And a nullifying stretcher here and there in order to bend the knee. And 
 uh.. so on. And what the muscles are doing, I.. I've very often wondered.
 But I know that when those rods are energized, I get pretty fast action. And
 uh.. that's.. it's a very handy way to handle a body. And I suppose it got
 put together that way because of stress and strain in action. I suppose that
 would be an action system of putting a body together. 
 
 Now there'd be somebody like a.. a dancer. Well, this person would
 have a much, much more complex thing. Action: What are you interested in 
 action? You're interested in being able to act fast and being able to 
 control speedily various implements.. instruments and, of course, the body
 itself. 
 
 Uh.. when I say 'action', you take pushing a racing car around the
 track. You just take that and if you don't.. if you don't think that's hard
 work? That's hard work. It requires instant thrust, see? Bang! The body has
 to be rigged with pistons in order to do that. 
 
 All right, somebody else has an aesthetic angle. See? When I make
 that gesture, I can't make it anywhere near as well as a girl for instance
 who is a dancer. She.. she would make the ge.. gesture much more 
 expressively. There's a limitation on that because the rods just aren't...
 Of course it's no real limitation. You probably couldn't tell the difference
 unless you saw a dancer do it, you see? I mean, you say, "Gosh! How could
 there be that much difference in a rig?" 
 
 So when the boys are sometimes talking about hot rods or they're 
 talking about sailing vessels or yachts or something of the sort, they talk
 about differences of rig. And one rig's good and one rig's bad and that sort
 of thing. You'll find bodies rigged up all different. 
 
 Now it's.. it's interesting, but when you start pulling ridges off
 the preclear, he will sometimes just pretend to pull off some of the ridges.
 Ridges are not bad. The preclear who has recovered his power and force and
 so forth isn't even vaguely bothered by a ridge. It's one of the things you
 have to educate him into to make an operating thetan. 
 
 All right, he has these terrifically complex systems, perhaps - 
 criss-cross systems that you'd think this stuff just... Uh.. you ever see a
 marionette? Some of them are rigged like marionettes. And some of them are
 handled this-a-way? Right straight across the face, see? With a pressor at
 the middle of the back. And then the body is supposed to walk. Did you ever
 see anybody do that? You ever see anybody with a completely smashed face?
 Huh? And.. and if you watch them really close as they change their 
 expression they would.. you haven't got one. Let's see if we have one here.
 You doing that to your body? Somebody here is probably doing it to his body.
 One person or another. 
 
 Kish isn't, fortunately. He's got a lot of horsepower and he'd..
 he'd snap his head off if he did that. I think that boy over there probably
 is. You're.. you're probably snapping it with a pressor beam. Have you got a
 hollow in the middle of your spine back here? Is there a hole, sort of? Feel
 
 -78- 

 back there and see. (Sees all, knows all.) 
 
 Uh.. now here, then, is a variation in what? The rig-up of a body.
 Now there's all kinds of little systems that you'll notice like this that 
 are of interest to somebody, and it's really far more interesting than 
 anatomy. Because from the earliest years, the baby has some definite 
 characteristics and demonstrates that somewhere on the timetrack, here and 
 there on the timetrack, somebody's operated a school. And the earliest 
 school I have any recollection of a preclear mentioning was about 70 
 trillion years ago. And these poor thetans would come in and they'd 
 manufacture energy and they'd walk around on beams and they didn't quite 
 know what they were doing. And a fellow actually ran a college way back on 
 the track that taught thetans how to operate. 
 
 Thetans would get up against these huge gaseous masses, which were
 later to become planets, and they'd get up against these things and they'd 
 get scared stiff and they're afraid to touch them. They'd wait for them to 
 solidify. And they might wait a million years. And this fellow took pity on 
 this so he opened a school. That's right. And uh.. went all through this, by
 the way - one of the.. one of the auditors did in England, and he came back 
 with some very fascinating stuff. This fellow didn't have information on 
 this subject, but he's talking.. he's.. he missed one type of thinking, the 
 only thing he really missed. And the other is how to move as a thetan. And 
 it's the drill that he would give these thetans in order to move. 
 
 He was no more sprung as a theta clear without any education on this
 subject, than he started to inform his auditor as to the proper methods and 
 modes of teaching and training a thetan to move properly around in the MEST 
 universe - just like that: curriculum. 
 
 So don't think your thetan is without education. By the way, the way
 they got away with that, he would teach them to 'think' themselves a little 
 further away. And teach them to 'think' themselves in another direction. And
 then he'd teach them to 'think' themselves around - uh.. pardon me, go 
 around the planet and then go back to where they started again. And then 
 'th1nk' themselves from there, and then 'think' themselves around the planet
 and then go back. 'Think' themselves back where they started. Drill, drill, 
 drill and finally the fellow would say, "What do you know? Gee! I.. I can 
 recover my postulates!" 
 
 Well, there's a terrific amount of automaticity left on your case -
 anybody's case. Any thetan's case. He has built in automaticities. He has 
 training and skills which he would.. he's afraid to touch. But they've 
 gotten automatic. 
 
 And the second training becomes too automatic, throw it out. If 
 you've got a preclear who is having a lot of trouble handling this body of 
 his, by George! he probably has got it rigged so automatic that it just goes
 around like a doll, or something, and he can't make.. he c.. he hasn't got 
 it under control! You've seen ills like that, haven't you? He hasn't the 
 body under proper control. 
 
 What do you do? Tear all the ridges out of it and start all over 
 again. Take out the automaticity. Any piece of information which you have 
 which is an automatic basis, you don't want or need. 
 
 Well, when a thetan takes a look at his body and says, "Well, for
 goodness sakes! There's ridges there and there's lines there and something 
 or other, and they're built in against the back, and .they're built in 
 against the back of the neck, and they're there under the chin, and.. and.. 
 
 -79- 

 and they run down. And there's a sort of a criss-cross lattice system on the
 arms and legs that's kind of like Japanese things that come off of a.. 
 their.. they catch your finger with. And he says. "Look at all those 
 horrible ridges!" 
 
 Well, of course, the worst thing that will happen to him, he'll just
 have to retrain himself. But he'll.. he'll get a little bit sloppy in 
 handling the body if he starts tearing these ridges off. He doesn't know 
 they're there. He built it. That's his level of automaticity. 
 
 He operates so automatically that he doesn't know what he's doing 
 from one minute to the next. He really doesn't. He does all this thing, 
 conditioned response, as a thetan - training. 
 
 Where's he carry it? Gets interesting when you ask the question: 
 Where's he carry all this automaticity? 
 
 A lot of thetans move out and they immediately begin to think 
 themselves around in space. College graduate - of the year four trillion,
 NEST universe. 
 
 Another thetan was suddenly into this life and he takes Mechano sets
 and he puts them together and he tears them apart and he puts them together
 and he just has the finest time, but he kind of.. the paucity of materials
 will upset him or something like that about it. But, gee! He really builds
 like mad! But the kid down the street gets a Mechano Set and he looks at one
 of the bolts and he looks at another bolt and he puts the two bolts through
 the wrong holes, and then he bends the girder and then he gets it all set
 up.. but that wasn't what he was supposed to be building anyhow. He's just
 rambling the structure. 
 
 And you say one has a natural talent and the other one doesn't. 
 One's been to college and the other one hasn't. 
 
 Now you don't care where you went to college or where you got the 
 information. You need a memory. Now you can argue with this all you please,
 but the fact of the matter is, you do need a memory - as a thetan. It's all
 right to remember back to when you were two years of age a la MEST body 
 memory, which are patterned. But any time a person has.. he's able to, more
 or less, control space, he can move around in space, he can do this, he can
 do that and so on. 
 
 But he does everything kind of automatic. You know, it just sort of
 happens that way. And if you chug into him with this question, "How are you
 doing that?" he just goes "Ummmmmmmmm-crash!" You go around to an actor some
 time, and you say, "How do you speak these lines?" You go around to the 
 championship tennis player and say.. you're going to play a match with him,
 you see, or something like that just for his practice. You just ask him, 
 "How do you hold your racket?" And he shows you, and you say, "How's that
 again? Yeah, but what do you do with your index finger, hmmm?" You'll win.
 There isn't any - you see, all of his very necessary training is because 
 he's down tone scale from instantaneous learning and application. 
 
 Instantaneous learning and application: You observe, pervade, know,
 apply, act. And, you know? It sounds arduous, but do you know that a man can
 actually go through all those steps and enjoy everything like mad, and play
 a championship game of tennis if he's never seen a racket before. He just..
 there's a racket and that's the way you kind of do it. But he figures it out
 every time.. every time he hits that ball, the ball comes over, see - a 
 high-speed ball comes over across the net - very rapid, you see. And he 
 
 -80- 

 says, "Let me see. How do you hold this racket? Well, you hold it this way,
 this time. Let's see. And the angle of incidence about so on, and he want to
 gear up that ridge there, and when it gets in there.. now we'd better move
 the body over this way. All right - bong! It's an interesting thing, if that
 ball spins it'll jump back across the net." And so it does. I mean, he could
 think out every stroke like that, because he's thinking fast. He's not 
 thinking... 
 
 And when you see a man who's frantic, remember this about it: He's
 only frantic because he can't think fast. He doesn't think there's enough
 time to figure out and apply the solution, and he gets frantic. And that 
 franticness is a result of automaticity. 
 
 A memory which becomes automatic is not worth having. And if you 
 were to take the best race driver in the world and rip off every doggoned 
 ridge he had on his body and let him put 'em back on again, he would drive a
 faster, more able car. But when they get to a point where it's 99 percent 
 automaticity anyhow, then they have to 'learn' how to do it by training and
 practice and experience. 
 
 And training and practice and experience are no substitute for 
 knowing. And when we say 'knowing', we mainly mean capability of knowing. 
 He's capable of knowing. For instance, he goes down to the archery range, 
 and he sees somebody down there. He can do an instantaneous mock-up in 
 mimicry. He's the archer down there - instructor - and he takes the bow this
 way and he throws it this way. A man, homo sapiens, can't observe that arrow
 in its flight and the handling of the bow itself fast enough to observe 
 what's going on. So he just has to look at it and be trained, and look at it
 and be trained and look at it and then he digs one into the turf five feet
 in front of him. Uh.. an operating thetan should be able to look at that 
 set-up and watch that bow draw back and then go forward on the arrow, see?
 And look at the arrow turn. "Oh," he says. "When you release it that way, 
 that thing at the back there" - he wouldn't know its nomenclature too well -
 "that thing at the back, that hits the thumb there and that feather. So when
 we fire it, we will make sure that when the feather goes across the fingers,
 we simply lower the fingers and don't give it a spin, and that won't 
 misdirect it. And then you can fire it directly at the bow. Yeah, that's 
 very interesting." Bonk! Bull's-eye. 
 
 Furthermore, he could probably do this: The arrow is going wrong and
 going a little bit awry, so he could get over there and straighten it up. 
 
 Now, you see the difference between automaticity and memory? Now if
 you have a thousand square miles of ridges or something vague or terrific,
 uh.. uh.. actually, I mean, you ask somebody how far his.. how far is his..
 his furthest ridge, and he'll start telling you 'infinity' and then maybe 
 'eight light-years' - something like that. There's.. space becomes 
 meaningless when you start talking about ridges. 
 
 Your thetan thinks that his horsepower and other things all stem 
 from the havingness of old energy. Hah-hah-hah! No, no. No, it doesn't! If
 he can adequately locate terminals, anchor points, facsimiles and lines in
 space, he can have current. And it really.. when he is depending on 
 automaticity, he really can't have much current. The amount of current 
 which'll flow on these old ridges is light, small. But the amount of current
 which he can get by simply setting up, willy-willy, and then holding - you
 get how important holding something still is, and having something else move
 - and hold still two terminals... 
 
 -81- 

 All right, let's hold still two terminals. Now we're going to throw
 an anchor point down at that power line - bang! There's an anchor point 
 there, you see? Now we've got another anchor point here of a higher 
 potential. Wowwhaapp! There goes the power line. 
 
 Well, frankly, I mean, that.. it's not dependent upon any other 
 mechanism than the ability to postulate the origin and destination of a 
 flow. You can say how much flow it is, too. It's fascinating. It doesn't 
 matter how accurate this is. It's whether or not it gets the job done for 
 him. 
 
 Now your thetan, therefore, who has a great deal of automaticity and
 very little memory, or very little action, capability, but is all trained 
 and he kind of "knows that you think your way from one point to the other,"
 see, this other fellow had memory, he'll say, "Yeah-yeah. I was trained in
 that one and it was at such-and-such a place." He wasn't depending on the 
 E-meter to tell him it was 70 trillion years ago. He'll say, "Yeah, it was
 about 70 trillion years ago," and the E-meter goes "bop!" And he says, "I" -
 he wasn't paying any attention to this, see? And he says, "We were having a
 lot of trouble at the time, and.. and the MEST universe was quite new... and
 so forth. And so we trained them up in the curriculum of so-and-so-and-so."
 He's remembering. He had, evidently, stayed pretty clear on the whole track.
 
 Of course, it was indicative of the fact that when the auditor said,
 "Be three feet behind your head" - Bam! At that instant he had a theta 
 clear. This fellow showed no likelihood to dive back into the body just 
 because the body was disturbed. 
 
 Now these ridges, then, are neither good or bad. But they contain an
 enormous amount of automaticity. If you're really tough and really big and
 really strong, you don't have to pick up a single ridge or blow a single 
 line of ch.. handle or change a single terminal. 
 
 I said once upon a time I'd tell you about end of terminal 
 processing, so I will. 
 
 Once upon a time somebody had a communication line to somebody and 
 he built it up as an energy line. This was t.. fran his body to his mother's
 body. And then Mama went away and abandoned the opposite end of terminal. So
 he took it and fastened it on his own body. And a lot of the loops and coils
 which you find around a body are actually these old communication lines 
 which a person has actually and actively used between himself and another 
 body as a routine procedure. Then he's lost the other end of terminal and of
 course, you don't get a flow. 
 
 Rut he gets a flow from one part of his body to another part of his
 body, and so you get circuits. One part of his body is Mama, one part's 
 Papa. And another part's something else. And he says, "I wonder what my 
 father'd think about this?" and it.. he gets back on the same line, "Well,
 let's see, Son. Uh.. we'll have to go into that a little more." See? And 
 you'll find those things festooned on the body or sometimes coiled around 
 and around. 
 
 What do you do with then? Well, you don't have to do anything with
 them, but if you do anything with them, find the end of terminal that used
 to be fastened on to somebody else, go fasten it on to something. And then
 have the pc take it off. Take off his end and throw it away. 
 
 -82- 

 Now he's got old end of terminals, old anchor points. And you'll 
 find all kinds of lines coming down from space to terminals, his body. And 
 he reaches up and he finds all these terminals around his head - something 
 like that. And actually they're.. I.. I'm sorry to have to say this, but 
 they're to bodies in pawn and they're control mechanisms and every other 
 darned thing. And he'll say, "I don't know if I ought to touch that or not." 
 You say, "Ah, go on - touch it." 
 He'll say, "Well, there's a great big line here marked 'agreement'."
 
 And by the way, make a note of that. They've.. they've all got a 
 line marked 'agreement', if you want to find it. You.. sometimes he can't 
 get his waves length high enough, or something of the sort, to find this 
 line. But sooner or later he'll run into it. And it'll either blow or show 
 up or something. But he's got this big line and it's just going on and on 
 and on up in space. He can see it go. He knows it's a terminal of some sort. 
 
 What do you do with them? you say, "Reach up and give it a yank." 
 Well, he can or can't pull it down. But if he pulls it down, he's liable to 
 get a horrible shock in his head. It's no uh.. no myth, you see, handling 
 these lines. They're there. The preclear may be feeling very, very vague 
 about these lines. He may not really know whether he has any lines there or 
 not, but uh.. all of a sudden you say, "Well, all right now, in taking these 
 lines off your body," you say, "now get ahold of that line that's on your 
 left shoulder. Okay, now you got that line there? All right, now where does 
 it go to?" 
 
 And he says, "Right hip." 
 
 "Okay. it goes to the right hip. Now, which is your end of the 
 line?" the auditor says. 
 
 "Well," he says, "Uh.. I don't know. It doesn't take much. The right
 hip! Yeah, yeah." That's no-no, it's the shoulder. I don't know who that
 line used to go to. Oh, it went to re father." 
 
 "All right," you say. "Well, take it off the right hip and go throw
 it into the wash basin," or "take it out and throw it in the damp grass" or
 "just pull it loose and throw it away." You don't care what happens to it. 
 
 By the way, it's liable to lie out there for a while and writhe and
 spark when you throw them out, but you throw 'em out. And then take off the 
 other end. Splonk! Throw it after it. That's the end of that line - line 
 handling - very difficult. You'll sometimes find strange things happening 
 too. There'll be a line that starts there and ends there. And sometimes 
 there are lines.. that's in the stomach. And sometimes there are lines that 
 start back of the ears and come around to the eyes, like big bananas, and 
 things like that. And then he just takes them and he pulls them off. And.. 
 and when I said, it's no joke, you see, the first few times he does this 
 he's very adventurous. "Oh, well. I.. I'm kind of seeing them sort of foggy 
 anyway, so they're probably three-quarters imaginary. And uh.. I mummm - 
 uhhh - well they keep staying there. I wonder why I don't see these on other 
 people? Oh, my! Everybody's got 'em. I guess I'm just seeing end of 
 terminals and lines and.. and ridges and... Gee, I just guess I'm just 
 looking..." and then he changes his waves length of sight and he doesn't see 
 it again. And then he changes his wave length of sight by postulate - he 
 just... 
 
 -83- 

 Now do you change a wave length of sight? You say, "I'll now use 
 higher wave length." You just sort of.. just say it. And he'll come around 
 here and he'll get ahold of this one on the right side and just sort of put 
 a beam out against his face, or something of the sort, and he'll put a 
 grapple on this thing. And he'll reach out and he'll go 'yank!' and of 
 course his eyeball will go out - 'Bong!' He'll say, "Ohhhh-ohhhh! What are 
 you doing to me?" 
 
 Another thing - sometimes you ask him to prowl around inside his 
 skull looking for ridges and he'll hit the pineal and it almost blows his 
 brain out. I did that to Nibby one day and it's very, very funny. He said, 
 "Now, I feel like I shouldn't do this." 
 I say, "Oh, go ahead. Go ahead. Be brave - it's your head." 
 And uh.. and he said, "I feel I shouldn't do this." 
 
 And I said, "Well, go ahead and do it." And he reaches in and POW! 
 Of course, he activated the pineal gland. 
 
 And.. uh.. it has sort of a force screen over the top of it or 
 something of this sort, and it really.. really went bong! You.. you could 
 practically see his hair bounce when he did it. And then he dived back 
 inside. And it took an awful lot of coaxing to get him out. I had to scan it 
 and work with it and be calm about the whole thing. And he kept looking at 
 me distrustfully. 
 
 Well, these things F11 happen once in a while and when they do, 
 just use anything to straighten them out - change a postulate. Or scan 'em. 
 Tell him to move out of his head, scan it out. He will, and that finishes 
 it. Sometimes he has to go through it with full somatics. Or do a mock-up of 
 it and run that a few times - faster method. 
 
 So, all of that is just.. that's.. oh, uh.. not important, really, 
 to.. to know this material. You'll get into this; you'll.. you'll find these 
 things to be the case, you'll.. you'll say, "Well, there's a ridge. What do 
 I do about it?" and.. and.. and the preclear.. and you say, "Mell, what'd 
 the preclear... What do you want to do about it?" the auditor says. 
 
 "Well, I don't know. It's not hurting me." Or, he'll keep saying, 
 "There's a ridge in front of my eyes. There's a ridge in front of my eyes. 
 There's a ridge in front of my eyes." 
 
 And you go on, talk for a while, audit for a while. "There's a ridge 
 in front of my eyes." 
 
 Several ways to handle it. One of the easiest ways to do is "Turn it 
 blue. Turn it black. Now put a duplicate out here in front. Now a ridge. Now 
 turn it around. Now put it behind your head." And you get pong! The ridge in 
 front of his eyes is liable to blow up. Very fascinating. I mean, you get 
 real action out of this. 
 
 Sometimes he'll go in and out of his body and he's just doing 
 beautifully, and now we're getting into the field of the operating thetan. 
 If you get a person's energy level up, he doesn't care how many old lines or 
 anything are hanging around. One day he's.. one day he's just buzzing around 
 and he'll.. clears up the whole kit and caboodle and explodes the works. I 
 mean he doesn't pay any attention to it much. 
 
 --
 
 -84- 

 But if he's too fixed or fascinated with ridges and flows and 
 dispersals, there's only one thing wrong with him: He isn't high enough up 
 the tone scale to adequately handle energy. How do you remedy it? You put 
 him high enough up the tone scale to handle energy - simple. I've told you 
 that several times in earlier lectures. 
 
 Now there.. therefore, an operating thetan.. an operating thetan is
 a problem in getting him over being jumpy about being a thetan. And consists
 of the step of recovering to him as a thetan his memory and his personality,
 his ability to emote and, in particular, his ability to obtain adequately
 good, solid sensation - that's very important! He won't have any goals if he
 can't do this. 
 
 You can also show him, if you want to as you go on up scale, that he
 can acquire MEST independent of his body's acquisition of MEST. Of course, 
 you really don't have to have him doing that, he.. but he can do it. He can
 do it. 
 
 Uh.. that fellows Step One, you know? The lifting exercises of the 
 body, and that sort of thing? Of course, when you do a Four with the 
 balancing exercises and all the girls poured in and all the girls poured out
 and right on down to the.. to the sensation in and sensation out - they'll 
 show up as lines probably, or blow by that time. You go right on up the tone
 scale and take each step above the scale until you get to One. 
 
 Now you get to One, lifting and handling the body around finally 
 teaches him that he can handle a body, without rigging it up like a Chinese
 puzzle. He can handle it. He's got to put minimal response lines on it, just
 enough to hook it up. 
 
 And after that when he wants to do something with a body, he does 
 something with it. And he won't go and do some careless automatic thing with
 it that would press the wrong lever accidentally because he doesn't even 
 know it's there. 
 
 You know what's happening with somebody with a tie? They just keep
 pushing the wrong button on some ridge, that's all. They.. they can't handle
 energy, and this facial expression just keeps going and going. 
 
 Somebody with an automatic response - he blushes or something like 
 that all the time. All he's doing is he's driving down the road with this..
 with this 16 cylinder Hispano-Suissa, and uh.. every once in a while as he's
 travelling 90 miles an hour, throws it into low gear and wonders why.. why 
 there's a sudden crash and spatter of gear teeth. That's all he's doing. 
 He's just.. he's so automatic he doesn't remember where anything is. Hmmm. 
 
 So your thetan has a level of not remembering where anything is and 
 of wanting to hide things on the theory that it makes it much easier to do.
 So when you get him to lift his body you will find out that as an individual
 he is then capable of handling MEST - when he's lifted his body and he's 
 very well and he's good at the production of energy. 
 
 I don't know, actually, how far a thetan can go this way. I haven't 
 got any idea. I keep hanging bodies around and old police stations and doing
 research work on U.S. marshals, and.. and uh.. trying to find some bug low 
 enough to psychometrize. And uh.. it's very interesting. 
 
 By the way, I did a full little piece of research, one time, as a 
 special officer of the Los Angeles Police, on criminals, marijuana and so 
 forth. I just took a weekend beat as a special officer on South Main and on
 
 -85- 

 Alvarado Streets in Los Angeles, of which there's no tougher anyplace. 
 That's really tough. Besides being the most aberrated city of the world, Los
 Angeles also has the toughest areas of the world. And I got a good look at
 police. And it was there that I learned the criminal is solvable, but that
 the cop is a contagion point in the society which brings criminality 
 straight through to the, quote, 'decent citizen', unquote. 
 
 And the problem of psychotherapy in criminality and police work, out
 of pity, should be addressed to the police who have to associate with these
 people continually. Uh.. that's just out of pity, because they're really 
 butchered. They can only spend about six months on a criminal division and
 they practically blow their stacks. And then they have to go over to the 
 traffic division for a while and they peel off that way. 
 
 But cops are scared. They're real scared. Look at their eyes 
 sometimes. If they're in a tough neighborhood or something like that, their
 eyes are just very.. they're.. they're.. they're all ready to cave in. And
 that's.. nobody should be put through that consistently. 
 
 And so psychotherapy and criminality, to a large measure, would be
 the resolution of police problems - police cases. You can remember that some
 time if anybody ever asks what we have done in the field of police work. I
 got my skull almost beat in many times for the sake of dear old Dianetics.
 
 Now, on this whole level, not wandering from that point any at all -
 what was the point? Uh.. we have automaticity as an antithesis to memory. So
 how do we come by automaticity? What covers up what in order to make 
 automaticity? 
 
 Flows make automaticity. As long as a thetan can remember without 
 any energy - new thought to you? - as long as a thetan can remember without
 any energy he can remember the whole bank, everywhere, everything. 
 
 Did you ever sit down quietly and calmly to recall something and not
 care whether you recalled it or not? And recall it? Memory runs a hundred 
 and eighty degrees wrong when it's run by flows. Those things which you 
 don't want to remember, you remember and those things which you do want to
 remember, you can't remember. And the fellow who goes around saying, "I have
 a bad memory," if he says it often enough, and believes it hard enough and
 pushes out flows in that direction long enough will eventually one day all
 of a sudden have a good memory. 
 
 And the person who has a very, very good memory and is very proud of
 his good memory and uses it all the time will wake up one fine morning and
 wonder, "Let's see now. Is my name Jones or Smith?" Amnesia is a case of a
 stretched flow. 
 
 Now, here.. here we have... Yeah, we can't get any traffic over the
 flow any more. So when we're.. we're remembering by flows or operating by 
 flows, we're using energy. In order not to use energy a person has to use 
 and generate trememdous amounts of energy. Why? Because he's got a 
 tremendous backlog of automaticity which will come in and interfere with his
 memory even as a thetan. 
 
 So unless he's very capable at handling energy as energy and can 
 really put it out with a comparable horsepower to any ridge he has, that 
 ridge can command him. If he can put out a tremendous quantity of energy and
 handle it well, of course there isn't any energy there to command him. 
 
 -86- 

 Beingness is essentially a problem of postulate and space.
 Postulate.. postulate type agreement, not flow agreement, and space. It is
 not a problem of energy. 
 
 And therefore very high on the band a person is capable of a great
 deal of remembering, and a great deal of action, and a great deal of 
 postulation, and a great deal of creation and also a great deal of 
 destruction where things have to be destroyed, such as old mock-ups and 
 throngs like that that have gotten too old and so on. 
 
 Whereas he has all of these things and so on, he isn't depending on
 flows. And one day he begins to depend on flows. 
 
 And flows, way back on the track, were taught to you. And they were
 taught very arduously, and they were taught in this fashion: "Now here's the
 way we do it. Around here we don't use force. We use facsimiles. Go over to
 that pile and help yourself to a few." I mean, it's just about that silly.
 
 By the way, you run that on a preclear and he starts feeling awfully
 sad about his having to go over and pick up some memories. These weren't his
 memories at all. 
 
 So he was made to depend upon an old energy deposit and solid in 
 order to remember. Whoo! Now you've got the facsimile in the ridge. Well, of
 course an energy deposit cannot exist in the presence of heavy electronic
 horsepower! It simply blows! So when the fellow starts to develop any energy
 at all, he feels like his whole memory is going. And he thinks his 
 automaticity is of tremendous value, even though he doesn't know what he's
 doing. And so he keeps it all beautifully masked. And he hits the wrong 
 button at the wrong time and has himself a glorious squirrel - runs cars off
 roads and all sorts of things. 
 
 You know the accident-prone, and so forth? He's just the fellow 
 that's got a wrong button permanently connected. 
 
 Now, how do you settle this? This is awfully easy. Generate energy.
 He has to be able to generate energy, not obey energy! Because if he puts
 his memories in form of energy deposits, he is not just obeying the 
 recording, he's obeying the energy as will, and he's waiting for that energy
 to come in and be hit before he remembers. And then he gets to a point where
 he can't generate energy anymore and he wonders why he can't get a flow out
 to his past track or a past body. 
 
 Let's say we had something that was dissolvable.. something that 
 was.. sugar and it was dissolvable only by water. And we still wanted the
 sugar. We wouldn't dare use water; we'd have to start using some substitute
 like gasoline or.. or something else if we were going to wash this sugar 
 around, or use this sugar without losing it. 
 
 So actually it's a trap. The standard MEST universe trap with regard
 to memories - that memories should be engraved upon energy ridges. Then 
 every time the individual starts to, quote, 'recover his memory', he starts
 to come up tone scale in some way, he gets swamped with old energy - which
 is more powerful than he is. 
 
 So it's a dwindling spiral. At first his energy level was very high
 and his recording were made on terrifically high potential energy - big, big
 kinetic there, ready to hit him when he got any lower. And then he got lower
 and he got lower and he got lower and he got lower and he recorded his 
 energy levels - facsimiles - on less and less high potential energy and, of
 
 -87- 

 course, they become more and more concentric and he became smaller and 
 smaller, and smaller and smaller and made the pattern of ridges which you 
 saw earlier in this series of lectures. And that is withdrawing his 
 boundaries of knowingness. Once upon a time he was that big, and he's not 
 that big any more. He's tiny. And then people are so tiny that they are 
 negative space and they say, "Use force? Use energy? Oh, no, no, no! That's
 bad!" They know if they started to generate any energy, they'd blow what 
 they laughingly believe to be their total memory bank. And there's nothing
 in it but MEST universe facsimiles. 
 
 And of course you can always use a facsimile with which to remember,
 always. Providing you're so chuckleheaded you can't remember it. 
 
 You know the habit of.. that some people have, they go to the 
 grocery store and before they go, they know they're going to have a can of
 soup. They've got to have a can of soup and a pound of sugar. Now there's 
 two ways of doing it: You go to the grocery store and say, "Can of soup, 
 pound of sugar; can of sugar, pound of soup uh.. so on - repeat it all the
 way to the grocery store - or you sit down immediately and take this great
 big sheet of paper, you see, and right up in the corner of it you write "Can
 of soup. Let's see. What was it else I wanted? Oh, I..." That's the end 
 product you see. He can't remember it long enough to get it down on paper.
 The guy gets frantic when he gets into that state. I mean, he's.. he's.. 
 he's.. he's got to write it right now because if he doesn't write it right
 now, it's gone! Why is it gone right now? Well, it's gone because he's 
 obeying flows. Every time he generates energy or he tries to generate any 
 energy, he gets hit back with an energy flow. And of course, that swamps his
 memory, because we've got automaticity sitting in. 
 
 And let's look again at Step Four, and let's find out something 
 about Step Four. And let's put down as basic laws right now. "You're 
 supposed to obey flows, not use them." And outflow sticks and inflow sticks
 and any item outflowing brings about a loss of memory. You've got to.. 
 continual item flowing out, flowing out, flowing out.. flowing. Of course,
 you're pushing the facsimiles further and further and further away. And if
 you're depending on note paper, which is to say facsimiles, with which to 
 remember, you're swamping the notes. And of course it brings about a loss of
 memory. 
 
 So what happens to the 'give' case? Whew! They say, "Yeah, yeah. I
 remember, I was a little girl once. I have a distinct recollection on it. 
 Well, most anybody who is my age has been a little girl. They've been in 
 their teens too. Let's see, uh.. in college uh.. yeah I uh.. oh, I was an 
 'A' student. Kept good notes. Let's see. Uh.. oh yeah! I majored in 
 chemistry. Umm.. um.. yes, my uh.. oh, I have to go now. I've forgotten 
 something." They don't even know they're there. 
 
 That's how bad they can get. Their childhood, teenage, education -
 pow! Because they're on an outflow, you see. Give, give, give, give, give.
 And they haven't got any facsimiles in proximity in order to read. And of 
 course they need facsimiles. Anybody who's gotten that low on the tone scale
 has to have facsimiles. So any time they want a facsimile, how do you get a
 facsimile? You outflow agreement to get it. 
 
 Oh, I hope I didn't step on anybody's toes in the class. You 
 actually do outflow agreement. They.. they reverse on their vector. 
 
 Now, they have to agree with the fact to want it, don't they? More
 or less? Or even if they're arguing they have to agree that they want the 
 fact in order to use it in a disagreement. And.. and so there they go! There
 
 -88- 

 they go. And it's a dwindling spiral, and as those ridges get bigger and 
 bigger and further and further away, and they generate less and less energy,
 they say, "It's because I'm getting old." Huh-hmm. It's because they're 
 getting old taffy on which to put their stuff and they can't budge it 
 anymore. Well, ridges start to look awfully solid to these fellows. 
 
 What happens? Did you ever notice this phenomenon: In the early days
 of Dianetics that one fellow would charge in and he'd start to run the
 facsimile and it went 'whirr-rip'? 
 And you said, "All right, now let's go over it again." 
 And he said, "Go over what again?" 
 "Go over the facsimile again." 
 
 "Oh, I can get it. Uh.. yeah, ha??! There was a little bit left. All
 right, what's the next one?" 
 
 You said, "Oh, no! No, I ran a m.. much easier somatic on myself 
 about four days ago and I had to go over it 12 times. And then it just 
 barely reduced. Wheee! What's the difference between this fellow and me?" 
 
 He's just developing live energy and you're not. That's all. He's
 blowing.. blew a facsimile with live energy and he was high enough in energy
 output that he'd just take that facsimile and go "Rip!" 
 
 Now fellows do this with ridges. A fellow starts turning up 
 horsepower, and there's billions of facsimiles on these ridges. And he 
 starts turning up energy level, turning up energy level, turning up energy 
 level. And all of a sudden one day he decides to look at this ridge and it 
 goes "Whooom-whooooo!" "Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute! Where'd.. where'd
 that go? I.. gee! Now I've got to remember 1t myself. Let's see, what was 
 it?" Verbatim account. That's because there isn't any past! But the 
 facsimile stacked up says there is. And so if you were to start reading a 
 facsimile then that convinces you there's a past. And if you don't know 
 there's a past, then the facsimile tells you what is past. 
 
 Another thing you can do with a facsimile is you take a picture of 
 that which you have lost and then keep it. And if a person who does these 
 mock-ups, a Four who starts doing these mock-ups, he's a 'hold' case, oh 
 brother! He's got a picture of everything he's owned for the last fifteen 
 million years. And he's got every one of those pictures stacked up on every
 one of those ridges and then he's got every one of those ridges in at 
 stretch - chunk! He's creating an energy vacuum here in the middle. He.. he
 reminds you of a 360 degree vacuum cleaner. And you.. you get in there to 
 pull off this ridge, see, and you go in there and you.. you say, "Well now,
 let's see. Uh.. let's get out of your head." 
 
 And the fellow says, "Head? Head? Let's see. Uh-oh... Uh.. what'd 
 you say?" 
 And you say, "Your head - let's get out of your head." 
 "Uh, oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah." 
 And you say, "Well, are you out?" 
 
 -89- 

 And he will say, "Out of what?" 
 
 What's the matter with him? Well, he doesn't dare use any energy on 
 memory because they're all in, because they're too close in. And every time
 he tries to, quote, 'reach for a memory', it is of course right there. And
 it.. would you like to read a newspaper which covered 30 million years of 
 news which was printed on a postage stamp or something like that, and read
 it a half an inch from the right eye? Would you like that? It'd look black,
 wouldn't it? Uh.. you would.. wouldn't see it at all. 
 
 Well, he doesn't dare use anything vaguely resembling memory, as 
 represented by facsimiles because he doesn't have 'em available. And you get
 in there with a ridge with this fellow, and you say, "All right, now get out
 of your head." 
 
 And it's "What head?" He's.. he's.. he's uh.. got 'em all in on him.
 He.. he'd say, "Why, that's nonsense.'You really couldn't do that." 
 
 You can tell this fellow. He's very beefy. He generally holds on to
 an awful lot of things and he has various characteristics which you'll come
 very rapidly to recognize. 
 
 All right. Now what's the remedy? Well, let's take Standard 
 Operating Procedure 1950 - hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm. I used to do it by trying to
 make them recover a sound of something and a.. a sight of something and work
 with them and work with them. And, by the way, by the time they'd recovered
 some of their perceptics, they naturally would have turned on some energy 
 and after that they could operate. And that was the bug involved in the 
 early book. Auditors hadn't been articulated properly. 
 
 We got this evaluation now. Oh boy! These six-foot rearview mirrors 
 are really wonderful - yeah, if we'd only known. 
 
 Well, anyway, what's he got then in terms of energy? Every time he 
 starts to run energy it's hanging right up, and as a matter of fact he has
 ridges clear on in and attached to him as a thetan inside of himself. And 
 then he is dispersed madly out through this whole body and he is his ridges.
 And he could be over here a foot on the right of his face. He could be over
 here a foot on the left of his face. Because he can't be anyplace. He's not
 in a unit formation. He is perceiving through his own ridges, and can have
 the weirdest manifestations, sometimes quite accurate about being one place
 and then suddenly being another place. You try ridge running on this fellow
 and he comes out of his head in eight different directions and can perceive
 his body from eight different quarters simultaneously. And you say, "Oh, 
 no!" Of course, he isn't doing it with any degree of reality, or something
 of the sort. He becomes very confused. 
 
 And you just do ridge running. What are you doing? You're running
 out on good operating perception lines. Did you ever look through lucite?
 Did you ever see light go down around a curved piece of lucite and go out
 the other end of the thing, and go in spirals and all that sort of thing?
 
 Well, his perception energy, what little there is of it from the 
 MEST universe, is coming in and hitting one or another part of a ridge and
 he's registering at the point of impact. You will see this manifestation 
 once in a while? He's not out of his head. He has to have Step Four run on
 him, but good - badly. He's in brutal condition. And loss of memory. That's
 . odd, isn't it? His memory's bad and yet he's holding on to everything. 
 
 -90- 

 His primary illness are arthritis, various other conditions, uh.. 
 glandular upsets of one sort or another, having to do with impedence of all
 outflowing glands. Fascinating, isn't it? And his level of sensation is all
 hooked up too close. For instance, he seldom has the lower leone I showed you
 on a graph there one day, going down to the genitalia. It goes into his 
 throat! The one that's supposed to reach all the way down to the genitalia
 ends in his throat. He.. he's just short-circuited like mad, see? He's even
 pulled that line too tight. He's holding everything in and he pulls 
 everything in too hard. 
 
 So when he pulls in a facsimile, he of course pulls in half of a 
 hundred facsimiles or half a' thousand facsimiles, all crowded together in
 one little spot. And you start to get him to run one facsimile and you say,
 "Let's get one picture of your father." Now many things can happen to him.
 He can get an automaticity going - brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Not of his father; of 
 George Jones, of Bill Gates, Of.. of.. of Tom Esso - all these people, one
 after the other will go brrrrrrrrrr - only go so fast he can't see them. 
 That's automaticity. It's enforced havingness. He is enforcing him.. 
 havingness on himself, because too many things have been taken away from 
 him. 
 
 So, now when you get these two conditions, then, of excessive 
 departure and give, and excessive take, you get invisible engrams, you get
 invisible facsimiles. How do you remedy 'em? Step Four, just as I gave it to
 you. 
 
 Now, let's put this one down here. We have here 'desire' - this is a
 cycle of action. 'Desire from self, from others, to ourself, to others' - 
 that's uh.. all under desire. All right, now let's look over here in the 
 middle. Now we have in the middle bracket. (I'm just going to put it down 
 here in a.. in a 'V' below because there just isn't enough space.) 'Enforced
 conviction of need by self, by others' - enforced conviction of need by 
 self, by others - that's by self and by others. And 'enforced conviction of
 not need - enforced conviction of not need by others, by self and by any 
 object - by others, self and objects'. 
 
 It does not matter, then, whether you've got a give or a take. The
 'take' case is the 'need', he's the 'have'; and the 'give' case is the 
 'don't need', 'do without', and 'have not', you know? Give it away - have 
 not. And they'll make a scarcity for everybody else they get in connection
 with too, by the way. They make a sc.. make things scarce for others without
 realizing what they're doing. They won't have items available for people 
 that they're supposed to supply and they'll just short-circuit, in other 
 words, all of these needs. And they'll get everything boiled down. And 
 although they might hold on to a bright bauble every once in a while or 
 something like that - or they wouldn't be operating at all if they didn't 
 hold on to something - why they're making a scarcity. 
 
 But the other fellow makes a scarcity too. He's the 'have', but only
 he can have. 
 
 And so anything he gets hold of, oh, it gets sort of colored this
 way. And uh.. you get this as the center scale here: Enforced - he's got an
 enforced conviction of need by self. Boy, when he needs something, he's got
 more reasons why he has to have it. And every one of these reasons is 
 absolutely logical. 
 
 And when he starts needing something, he can't stop. He has no 
 control over wanting, needing or having. 
 
 -91- 

 Very early in his life a fellow with a pattern which is all set to 
 roll that way might not be all stacked up with ridges yet, and yet he was 
 demonstrating this, because when he's.. when he started eating he couldn't 
 stop eating. He'd get this appetite - it'd go "amph-amph-amph," and.. and.. 
 and he'd drink anything good, it disappeared - gulp! Heavy greed line 
 without an energy level sufficient to handle it. Now if he could manufacture
 energy, he could want, need, have, all he wanted to - because he'd be able 
 to outflow too. But he's stuck on an inflow. 
 
 Now people enforce his having, he enforces having on other people 
 and then he creates a scarcity to further enforce their having by taking 
 away from them anything they have. He makes any object that he gets hold of 
 collect only items which he forces upon it, not items which do it any good. 
 
 If you will look at one of the pieces of equipment that such a 
 person is running, you will find that it is adorned with all kinds of 
 gimmickgahoojits and mechanisms which do not promote its running - but it 
 has to have them - he knows that. And every time he gets any kind of an idea
 or something of this sort, it gets super adorned with all sorts of 
 irrelevancies. He just gets these terrific irrelevancies. He doesn't stay on
 any.. any type of line of logic at all. He's really quite scattered. 
 
 Now when he manufactures something or he produces something, he will
 produce it, and then he won't deliver it. You'll see these people around in 
 business. They'll take orders, they own big establishments, they take lots 
 of business and they're all on the brink of ruin all the time. Always on the
 brink of ruin. That's because they have to have so badly they can't give 
 anything in order to have some more. And what's that result in? 
 
 All right, now here's your conviction of 'not need' and this is 
 your.. your conviction of 'need' is the 'have', 'want' and uh.. 'will have' 
 case. That's one type of case and that is the.. the "take" case. And down 
 here is the 'give' case. And the 'give' case is a 'have not' - really 'wants
 not'. But that's.. this is all in a gradient scale because you can see that 
 'have.. give' cases is at various levels of the tone scale, and they still 
 follow the tone scales out of the Science of Survival. You just look on that
 tone scale; you recognize these people. 
 
 And the 'won't have'. Now these people run on the tone scale in 
 gradients so that one is above the other. So here we've got the 'enforced' 
 in the middle of it. 
 
 And what's it all add up to? It adds up to a loss, which is 
 'inhibition'. That's all at the end of the cycle - that's all. You go on 
 either of those two cycles with an imbalance of flow and it results in loss.
 The one thing which has this man terrified is loss - the 'have' case, the 
 'take' case. He's TERRIFIED of loss. You would be utterly amazed at what 
 loss will do to him. 
 
 Now he can get so bad and low-toned that he.. you see, there's many
 of these cases, there are harmonics on the tone scale, because there're the
 various inflow lines. There're the inflow lines, see? 
 
 And here's a little heavier one. But they're these heavy inflows. 
 And.. and what.. what have you got here? Uh.. this is.. this would be the 
 'take' and that's a heavy inflow in Figure 2. And here's a 'give' - figure 3
 is your flow-disperse. And then disperse - get the idea? These persons are 
 your dispersal people. 
 
 -92- 

 And the people who do flows on the track are the people who keep the
 universe going. And for those people, the 'give' case is.. scatters and 
 makes a scarcity of things and won't use. And the 'take' case grabs 
 everything in sight and won't put it into circulation. You put something in
 their hands that has to circulate, it's not an object - "Oh, no!" you say, 
 "This is impossible!" You say, "This thing has to circulate. Otherwise, it 
 has no commodity." And they'll sit there and they'll hold on to it. And then
 one day they'll wonder why. As little.. little children they possibly held 
 on to the kitten so caressingly that it died. And the other one didn't want
 to have anything to do with anything. 
 
 Now your 'take' case is holding on to every death, every death, 
 every grave in facsimile, a facsimile of every dollar, of every coin, of 
 every jewel - the whole list there - of every member of the opposite sex, of
 every friend and, unfortunately what predominates in all this is what he's 
 trying to get rid of. He wants these other things and he's trying to 
 differentiate and when he gets too low on the tone scale he can't 
 differentiate anymore. 
 
 So what's he do? He's trying to concentrate on those things which 
 leave.. which must leave, which is bad things, bad communications, enemies,
 bad incidents, pain. And he starts concentrating on these things. Why? One 
 reason is 'cause he wants the other. He wants the pleasure out of this so of
 course he gets the pain. And then he'll concentrate on the pain and he'll 
 want to push the pain away from him because the more he pushes the pain away
 from him the more he gets it. Because he's dependent upon flows. 
 
 And what's in common between both of these cases? Well, I write it 
 right straight down here: Flows. 
 
 And that is what's wrong with it and, of course, flows have a 
 dependency on what? Anchor points. 
 
 So we have Step Four working like mad - to do what? Let's be just a
 little bit more precise here and put way up at the top of this draft now
 "Loss is similar to forget, is similar to not have is similar to" next line
 "uh.. forced ownership - forced owning, is similar to not knowing" - see,
 you get your identification here - "is similar to an obsession, is similar
 to not know - well, is.. it's similar to a possession, have" - just 
 scrambling this whole up - "is similar to not know." 
 
 That's the key-note, then, of all those similarities. I mean, it 
 doesn't natter which way you write these similarities. The 'not have' is 
 similar to the 'have'. He's just going in an opposite direction. 'Forget' is
 'have' or 'not have' in extremes. 'Forget' evolves from the ability to 
 handle flows. Automaticity is set up because the fellow becomes afraid that
 he'll have to use too much energy, and he thinks there's a scarcity of 
 energy. So then he starts setting up automaticity that runs on small amounts
 of energy which, of course, obscures everything he knows and starts up this
 condition of being terribly dependent upon flows. 
 
 So he depends on sensation and everything else he depends on flows.
 If he can't manufacture flows in order to obtain sensations and all the rest
 of that, he just.. he just won't obtain anything. 
 
 Now, you could unscramble that at the top by saying 'loss' is 
 'forget'. And you could put in here... "abandonment and forced ownership, 
 abandonment, not knowing or obsession, have, not know" - it's the same deal.

 What.. what do you remedy then? 
 
 Why can't this fellow remember any women? Well, he can't remember 
 'em because too many have flown in on him and he doesn't want to push away
 any of 'em out. 
 
 And why can't this other one remember no women? Because it's a 
 'give' case and they all fly away the second they try to put their finger on
 something about it. Same difference. You've got the scarcity and the 'to
 have' and you remedy it on opposite vectors and flows, use the mock-ups for
 the flows and you have what happens to memory. 
 
 And this is how you equalize flows, then abandon flows and have no
 more flows and do memory straight on a pervasion basis, on an approximation
 basis, or an actual data basis. 
 And that's all there is to it. 
 Let's take a break.
