A demonstration given on 12 November 1959

Thank you.

Well, this is the demonstration period, 12 November, First Melbourne ACC.

Now, let's see. What will I do to you?

Who wants to be a victim?

Female voice: I do.

Aw, look at those – look at those hands go up there. I'm sure all the cases in the room that are ripe just put their hands up.

Well, we wouldn't want any case that was originating to that degree.

Let's see, who's originated the least? Who has originated the least here?

Yeah, let's see. Everybody's quaking in his boots now. I got practically everybody.

Frank. Now, somebody hand me an E-Meter.

LRH: Now what we're interested in here Frank, is simply giving a demonstration – sit down – of how you do an assessment on… This is an assessment on straight – Dynamic Straightwire type of assessment, the old Dynamic Straightwire.

I'm simply going to run over some of the chatter.

Squeeze the cans, would you? That's good enough. Thank you.

Yeah, you're sure reading low, aren't you?

Thought I'd noticed that.

[to audience] All right, see where he's reading? He's reading at 2.0, and he shouldn't ought to was reading at 2.0, see?

[to pc] That'll teach you to read at 2.0.

PC: That's right.

LRH: All right. Was it okay that I called on you?

PC: Not really, no.

LRH: That's right.

That's right but it's not a bad reaction. It wasn't really okay.

PC: No, it wasn't.

LRH: Made you a target.

PC: Yeah, a victim.

LRH: Yeah.

There's – yeah, it's falling a little bit now. It's just doing a little bit of a fall here, nothing to amount to anything.

Who's dead? That's right. That's what I like to see.

Who's dead?

PC: Oh, when…

LRH: That's it.

PC:… when you said that, I got my grandfather.

LRH: Your grandfather?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: What sort of a man was your grandfather?

PC: Oh, about my size.

LRH: Uh-huh. Okay.

PC: I suspected I was in his valence a long time ago.

LRH: You what?

PC: Huh? I suspected I might have been in his valence a long time ago.

LRH: Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you something. I'm on your side.

PC: Good.

LRH: If they suddenly leap out of their chairs and jump you, I'll stop them.

PC: Okay.

LRH: Now listen. Let's start an assessment here. Okay?

PC: All right.

LRH: All right. Start.

[to audience] Now, we're going to just do – jump up the line here and the second he mentioned "Grandfather" he fell even further. See, he's now below 2.0. See?

A pattern assessment by dynamics – there isn't any set patter. You just know your dynamics and you just call them off, that's all. See?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And you can say anything. We could say anything like, "What do you think about yourself?" you know, and "What do you think about sex?" "What do you think about children?" "What do you think about…"you know?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Anything like that, it doesn't matter much. To an old-time Scientologist, you'd probably say, "First, Second, Third," you know, simple as that.

[to pc] That's what we're going to do with you right now. Okay?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: We're just going to ignore that we already found your grandfather.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And carry on this other. Okay, here we go. What do you think about yourself?

PC: Oh, I'm not the best friend I have, to myself.

LRH: Hm?

PC: Not the best friend I have to myself.

LRH: You're not, huh? All right.

[to audience] The needle – just still; it stopped this and just went absolutely still. The question is, "Who does the pc think he is?" and he says, "myself," you know. You're right there on the valence button. Right?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay. Now what do you think about sex?

PC: Oh, good pastime.

LRH: Mm-hm. All right. How about children?

PC: Yeah. Pretty good.

LRH: Pretty good. Pretty good.

[to audience] On sex we got a single dive, and on children it just steadied again. See, I don't yet know what the characteristic of the needle is for all.

See, I don't yet know what the characteristic is. Although the characteristic of the needle when I was first doing this was just a – just a wobble…

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH:… like this. Now, "self" and "children" have stopped it cold.

PC: Yeah, I believe that one too.

LRH: All right. Now how about groups?

PC: Yep. Groups are all right.

LRH: Groups are okay. What about groups?

PC: Oh, a little bit of fear on them. I find it hard to get up and talk to a group of people a bit.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: They're okay.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: I can mix with them all right.

LRH: Mm-hm.

[to audience] Well, we got a swing down, and then steadied. Apparently the constant needle characteristic is just a kind of a swing like this, and that apparently then means we're nowhere, see, for this particular assessment. See a needle doing that, that doesn't mean we're – if it's doing this apparently, why, we're not on anything significant. So it's got to do something else. The only other thing it's done so far that's very, very marked is "self, " it froze, and then it freed up again, and then on "children" it froze. Got the idea? So, we've had two freezes. "Groups?" It's just sort of returned to this. Got it?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: All right.

[to pc] Now, it's all right if I give those directions, isn't it?

PC: Sure it is.

LRH: All right. After all, we're not plumbing your psyche very hard, not with a well – oil well drill, anyways.

PC: Good.

LRH: Okay. Now, how about mankind?

PC: Well, I get the whole of mankind, and oh, Europeans, Chinese, that's… Oh, even Americans – the whole works.

LRH: Hm?

[to audience] What did he say?

[to pc] All right. Now, have you committed an overt act against me?

PC: No.

LRH: No. All right. Have I done anything wrong to you?

PC: No.

LRH: That's right. Okay. Now what do you think of animals?

PC: All right. Dogs, birds.

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: Okay.

LRH: All right. How about plants?

PC: Oh, they're okay. I don't like gardening though.

LRH: Yeah. All right. And how about fish?

PC: Yeah, okay.

LRH: Hm? Fish?

PC: Yeah, all right.

LRH: Fish? Fish!

[to audience] Fish, just freezes this needle just, pang!

On everything else we get this little idle of just a drop of a – drop of a division or a half a division and then a full division and so forth, just an idling needle and so forth. But now we've had, self, children, and fish. See?

[to pc] Okay?

PC: Yep.

LRH: All right. Do you feel I'm exposing you to view?

PC: No, I was just thinking to myself – I was a diver in the navy; I was just wondering why I was trying to be a fish.

LRH: You were a diver in the navy?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, what do you know.

Okay. All right. We got it made here. Here we go. All right. Now, how about the physical universe?

PC: Oh, okay.

LRH: How about water?

PC: You tell me.

LRH: Naw, same little idle needle. Fish.

Boom! Okay. Okay. That's all right, it's all right. Do you like to eat fish?

PC: Yep.

LRH: Yeah. You eat much fish?

PC: Oh, I don't know, twice a week.

LRH: Yeah, all right. Okay. All right, see how that needle sticks when you say "fish"?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Look at that needle.

Now you're off of it again.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Because you are looking at it…

PC: I just blew it off.

LRH:… now it drops. Now I'll say, "fish." Fish. Think about fish. There it is. Boom!

That's pretty good.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right, we're getting someplace.

PC: Good.

LRH: All right, how about matter? Energy? Space? Time? Time? Time?

PC: I've been running on that today.

LRH: You've been running on it today?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: It's just faintly different than anybody and anything else here, just faintly different.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: It's hardly worth bothering with. That's a beefy process. What were you running on time?

PC: "Think of something I might have done to time."

LRH: Yeah?

That's all right, our boy's still here. All right. The reason I questioned that is it's not a terminal.

PC: Yeah, I couldn't get it out.

LRH: That's right. Well, it's not a terminal. It's not a good thing to run. Not a terminal. It doesn't have any mass. If you want your high success you get a mass terminal that preferably can receive, send and relay communication. Definition of a terminal: something that can receive, send and relay communication. Of course, that could be a rock as far as that's concerned.

PC: No, I was getting a bit of mass with "time" actually. I was getting a – getting weird "time," each time they checked on it.

LRH: Yeah. I don't want to criticize them. Nobody's ruined you. But you had time tied in with yourself, didn't you?

PC: Oh, yeah, I had a lot of trouble with time.

LRH: That was mostly tied in with you, wasn't it?

PC: Yeah, sure, it was all tied in with me.

LRH: Yeah, it was all tied in with me. I get you.

PC: Yeah, I was trying to stop it.

LRH: Yet it's kind of freed off of it. You feel better after you ran it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Yeah, well, of course, auditing is what you get away with. But don't you let me catch you picking any terminal like, "From where could you communicate to thinkingness?"

Or, "From where could you communicate to abjectness?" See, "From where could you communicate to a significance?"

Boy, this is for the birds, birds, birds, you understand?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: [to audience] If it hasn't got any mass, you're nowhere. Pc's nowhere. Because the basic thing you're trying to get off the case first crack out of the box is a location. If it hasn't got mass, it hasn't got one.

That's what's wrong with "Conceive a static." See, you can see the thetan hasn't got any location. Got the idea?

So, until you get a person unpinned from all of these locations, you run terminals, you hear? Mass terminals. Things with mass connected with them.

And the less adjectives you put on them the better off you're going to be. We occasionally have a specialized adjective process, you understand, you know, some specialized process like "a person with difficulties" or something like that, that's the same way as saying "victim." That's a "significant terminal." Slightly significant terminal.

Well, I got one the other day from South Africa. Hah! Ds of Ps don't think we ever check them over.

Actually, when I was all – running on myself, and all by myself, I occasionally didn't get a chance to check the D of P's profiles, you know. And I'd just check over the summary sheet and let it go. But now we got a Technical Division at HCO WW, why, they all get checked. And when they're out of line or when they're particularly good or particularly bad, why, instantly, why, the Technical Division calls it to my attention.

And guess what? Guess what one came through with the other day? A communication process being run "From where could you communicate to a little boy with German measles?" And that was being run as a general terminal!

And the one thing that a general terminal must do is to be able to run some distance on the track. And how – how much time do you think was being run on that terminal, "a little boy with German measles"? Maybe…

PC: Two?

LRH: [to audience] Maybe five or six days out of seven or eight lifetimes! See? Just no time area at all, so it couldn't possibly have been a German measle that was the button on the case. See? If the auditor had looked around just a little further, probably found out it was the bedstead or something.

[to pc] All right I didn't mean to digress all that time. Am I ARC breaking you with all this?

PC: No, that's all right.

LRH: Oh, it is all right, isn't it?

PC: Sure.

LRH: All right.

Now, let's take up – I'm not saying your auditor was doing wrong. Your auditor is doing all right. You got some benefit from it and she got away with it.

PC: Sure.

LRH: And it did good because it gave me a chance to tell these characters, "If I ever hear of you getting out of here running anything quite like that, I'll shoot them!"

They'll be out-thunderbolted even if they make OT!

All right, let's get on with it, huh?

And let's talk about thetans. What about thetans?

PC: Oh, they're all right, good game.

LRH: Good. How about God?

PC: Oh, I used to have a bit of trouble, a fair bit of fear on that.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: None now. None now.

LRH: How about idols?

PC: Yeah, I was run on "help on an idol" once.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: On a Buddha.

LRH: Yeah, it did all right.

PC: Yeah, I cleared that up.

LRH: That was the auditor's evaluation though, wasn't it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Do you think it fell on the meter?

PC: Oh, at that time it might have.

LRH: Might have. It doesn't fall now. The auditor probably did a good job.

PC: Yeah, he probably finished it off.

LRH: Okay.

PC: Whatever.

LRH: And how about the devil? He's a god, too.

[to audience] Isn't the devil a Christian god? I lose track.

PC: That's the opposition.

LRH: Oh, that's the opposition? Okay.

Okay. Well, now you mind if I give them a summary?

PC: All right.

LRH: Am I chopping you up here?

PC: No. That's…

LRH: [to audience] Look-a-here, this needle has had just a little variation, you see, just little tiny falls like this, and they're sometimes great and sometimes small. And the different needle is a stuck, see? That's the different characteristic, see?

Now, you could run a case where the needle would be stuck, and you all of a sudden mention "fish" see, or something like that, and it moves, but the rest of the time it's stuck. So, that's a changed needle, you get the idea?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: This particular needle, we've got "self," "children," and "fish" all froze the needle.

Now, it's my task to separate out which one of these is different from the other two. And when I do we're going to have it. See?

Oh, this "self" you understand is pretty equivocal. I mean because naturally a person considers "himself" the weak valence. Got the idea?

PC: Hm.

LRH: [to pc] Okay. Now, let's just check this over again, shall we? I'm giving you a bad time here but I see you're probably more comfortable now by far than you were when you first came up. Isn't that right?

PC: That's right. That's right. I've even looked at them.

LRH: Hm?

PC: That's right, I've even looked at them now.

LRH: Oh, you-good. All right. That-a-boy.

That-a-boy. Now, we're going to take up three of these, now, and you anticipated me. You know I'm going to ask you about "self," don't you?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Mm-hm. Because it froze right there –"self." Now, what's better, "self" or "children"? How about "children"?

PC: Oh, children are easier, I think.

LRH: "Children" easier than "self" – and what's this got to do with "fish"?

PC: I don't know. I don't know, don't get anything there.

LRH: Hm"? (pause)

All right. I think it's "children" but…

[to audience] Now, here's a trick with an E-Meter. I'm going to crank up this sensitivity, see, because the movements I'm getting now are so microscopic. And cranking up your sensitivity is just like putting a magnifying glass on your meter.

Mostly your sensitivity should be set down here so that only when the pc goes over something that's really sharp, shocky or emotional, do you get a movement of the needle. Got the idea?

And you shouldn't have a needle flopping all over the place while you're trying to audit somebody. You cut that sensitivity right straight on down here, you understand, until you get it so that your needle is practically motionless except when he goes over a toboggan slide, see. Got the idea?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: And this sensitivity button has no more significance than just a magnifying glass and that's all it is. Don't think of it as anything else.

Also, people who are real batty are so agitated, they're in a total rock slam. You will see rock slams on some pcs but, tssh, psychotics very often, particularly manic-depressives and so forth, they just run this way: ta-tat-tat-tat-tat-ta-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop and boy, you've just got to crank that sensitivity right down to practically nothing and stop that needle. See?

Now, when you ask them questions, the question you want will actually – will be the only one that gives the needle motion.

You get the thing?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: Well, that's the use of this sensitivity thing. It doesn't really much change the position of the needle here and the tone arm. It doesn't change the position of the tone arm enough to bother with. Not a significant change. It does somewhat but… Do you get it?

Audience: Yeah.

LRH: All right, so, in this case, I'm going to crank this thing way up till this thing slaps all over the place, and we're going to go over these three things again.

[to pc] What do you think about yourself, Frank?

PC: Oh, okay now.

LRH: Hm?

PC: Mm, I used to think I was a bit self-conscious.

LRH: Mm-hm. All right. What do you think about children?

PC: Okay, I've got four of them.

LRH: Mm-hm. Mm-hm. All right, and what do you think about fish?

PC: Okay.

LRH: What about fish?

PC: I don't know. What about 'em?

LRH: Yeah, what about 'em?

PC: I don't know.

LRH: All right, how about children?

PC: Oh, they're okay.

LRH: What about children? Would it be better if you were a child?

PC: Oh, I could be stuck back there. I hopped out of the body, actually abandoned this body about six months; and changed my mind and came back in again.

LRH: Right. All right, now you tell me what sort of a children are we talking about here? Is it a girl children? Hm? A girl child?

PC: I don't know.

LRH: No. Is it a boy child? (pause) Mm-hm.

PC: Does that – does that mean, "yes," does it?

LRH: Huh?

PC: That smile mean "yes," does it?

LRH: Yeah. And… or is it a baby?

PC: Hm, could be.

LRH: Or is it an unborn baby?

PC: Could be, too.

LRH: Unborn baby?

PC: Hm, maybe.

LRH: Mm-hm. Or a boy child? (pause)

A little boy.

PC: I don't know.

LRH: Mm-hm. Little girl? Little girl, hm? (pause)

Little boy? Little girl? Little boy? Which?

I don't know, I'm watching your face to see.

LRH: You're trying to find out from me, huh?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Well, we just lost ourself some tone arm. You got that?

PC: Hm.

LRH: We're going down for the count here. So, we must be approaching a weak valence of some kind or another. You got it? That's hot. Because as soon as I started into this "children" – I've sorted out now "self" and "fish"-and it's "children." Now I'm trying to find out what kind of a "children."

The second I started sorting this out, why, we lost about, oh, about a third of a mark on the tone arm. See that?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: It gives you an idea that as soon as you start to sink toward the weak valence, why, of course you start to sink down toward the reading of the weak valence, you understand? You got that?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: [to pc] Well, let's go over this again, Frank, and let's see if we can find some more about this. Shall we?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Which is the strongest, a little girl or a little boy?

PC: Girl, I'd say.

LRH: Yes, isn't that interesting.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Yeah.

PC: So now you're looking for boys, huh?

LRH: Little boy. Huh? Well, how will we phrase this? You describe it. You describe this terminal "a little boy." What would you call it?

PC: A baby.

LRH: A baby?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: A boy baby?

PC: Mm, I get a picture of just a baby.

LRH: Mm-hm. How old a baby?

PC: About three months.

LRH: Well, would you describe it as a boy baby?

PC: No, I just look at it and get a baby.

LRH: Mm. You don't describe it as a boy baby or a girl baby?

PC: No.

LRH: Mm-hm. Very interesting. A baby?

PC: Uh-huh.

LRH: Hm. That's why I'm having trouble picking it out. It's neuter. Got it.

PC: Yeah, I'm not sure, it's just a baby.

LRH: [to audience] All right. Now we've got a terminal on this case and it started going right on down south here, see, on the Dynamic Straightwire and it turned down below this point.

Well, actually, there's how much has been lost. We're losing more here, see.

PC: Hm.

LRH: We've got a baby. Now that would be hotter than a firecracker because of course it's a beginning of cycle, and this tells me that there's some inversion involved here.

Before we started running this though, I'd have to ask the pc a few questions concerning babies and so on.

[to pc] May I?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. What's the best condition a baby could be in?

PC: Good health.

LRH: Mm-hm. Good. That's a reasonable answer.

PC: Thanks.

LRH: When I snap my fingers a condition will flash. What is the best condition a baby should be in?

PC: Bloody Hell!

LRH: Hm?

PC: Dead!

LRH: That's right.

[to audience] Now, there we got a slip on a cycle of action. You got it?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: Here's something that should be at create and I've already watched this little theta bop developing here on children, and I – when I sat down I asked him, "Who was dead?" because he was theta bopping as a characteristic of the needle.

Well, the only thing that tame – tamed down… Now, you understand, that a needle goes on reading the terminal all the time! You understand? Except when you get on the terminal and then it changes. Got that? See, the thing could be going, dah-dah-dah-dah, that – this is all reading – in this particular case – this is all reading "baby," see. This is all reading baby, baby, baby. And you ask about birds and God and everything else, you still to some degree are reading "baby." Right up to the moment when you come down and read "baby," and it goes pang!

Now, you called its characteristic, therefore it changed the reading of the needle. Do you understand this?

Audience: Yes.

LRH: Well, that's how you – how you look with one of these things, see.

All right, now the proper process on this, you've just had an infinite number of processes, some fast, some slow, some otherwise. Somebody running "time" on him – that's a misdemeanor, infraction sheet, and so forth. Even if your Instructors told you to.

Now, here's the idea of how we would start this. Now, I'm going to start this and I'm going to – and start it only because I intend for it to be carried on. Okay? I'm not going to run it very long.

[to pc] Is it okay if I run this for a very short time, Frank?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Hm?

PC: Sure.

LRH: Just to let you get a look at it.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. How you doing?

PC: Good.

LRH: Now, have I done anything wrong?

PC: No.

LRH: You done anything wrong?

PC: No.

LRH: By golly, he's right. Okay. Well, is it all right if I audit you for about ten or fifteen minutes, huh?

PC: Yeah, sure.

LRH: Would that be okay?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: And – be all right if I audit you on this particular terminal that we've just been fooling around with?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Now the thing we're going to run… You're going to worry because you're running a process and it isn't flat, and so forth. Well, so what.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: So what, I don't think it will damage you any. You don't think so either? Now, I'm going to ask you… What's the matter?

PC: I just had a look, making sure I didn't think so.

LRH: Hm?

PC: Just had a look.

LRH: Okay. All right. Now, we're going to run Valence Differentiation, that's the proper technical name of this process, which is "Think…" just a Think Process, you know.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Just those two questions, one after the other. Okay?

Anything wrong with that?

You feel a little embarrassed running that?

PC: No, I just thought it was amusing.

LRH: All right.

PC: Got a similarity.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Little hair…

LRH: All right, here we go!

PC:… similarity, little hair.

LRH: Similarity and difference. All right?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Okay. Here's the first question. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Okay. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Oh, I lost that command then.

LRH: Hm?

PC: I lost that command then.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. How are you doing?

PC: I'm getting mainly differences between a baby's body and my body.

LRH: All right. Real easy to do?

PC: Yeah, well, I feel I'm – this is not there the right way.

LRH: Hm?

PC: I feel a bit coming off but I feel I'm not doing it the right way.

LRH: Yeah, well, how are you doing it wrong?

PC: Well, the difference between myself. I'm just not a body, but I'm – I'm definitely picking this body as me.

LRH: Yeah, well, does anything in the auditing command prevent you from doing that?

PC: No.

LRH: That's right. Do you think you're answering the audit –

PC: Oh, yeah, I can be a body if I like.

LRH: All right. Do you think there's anything in the auditing command you're not doing?

PC: No.

LRH: You think you're doing it all right?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. All right. At first it ran real easy, didn't it?

LRH: Brrrrrrr. Hm? Right?

PC: Yeah. Very easy.

LRH: All right, we've got it made here. Shall we carry on with it?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Oh, I lost that one.

LRH: Good. I'll repeat it. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. All right. Now tell me, has somewhere along the line you got mixed up on this? You didn't know whether it was yourself or the baby or what you were talking about?

PC: No I didn't get mixed up, I got a bit of a confusion on "difference" and I get – every now and then I get a dead baby.

LRH: You get a dead baby?

PC: Yeah. And…

LRH: Oh yeah. What do you know.

All right. Think you're getting anywhere?

PC: Sure. Terrific.

LRH: Terrific.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right, that-a-boy. All right, here we go. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. That was similarity, wasn't it?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Hm? All right.

PC: And I nearly made a mistake and said – I saw this blooming pram.

LRH: All right. Okay. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. What's the matter?

PC: Oh, that time around I had to grab something and say, well, the baby's back there and I'm here.

LRH: Uh-huh. All right. Okay.

PC: I had to grab something quick.

LRH: All right. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. What's going on?

PC: Oh, I'm getting a baby being born here.

LRH: Oh yeah?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Okay. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good.

PC: I'm just about closing terminals with a little baby here.

LRH: Oh, yeah. All right. Good. Okay.

Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a… What's the matter?

PC: I've been getting this, a few times, oh, the baby with little hair and me with a little hair.

LRH: Oh, yeah.

PC: I got a baby's head just being born then.

LRH: All right. Very good. All right. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yep.

LRH: Good. What? You just suddenly feel a feeling of relief or something?

PC: Yeah, that was good.

LRH: All right. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. How you doing now?

PC: I snapped terminals from here, and then I wondered why I belched. Then the minute I wondered that, I went – rrraaaw.

LRH: Yeah?

PC: Yeah, you know, trying to get back from a baby's body…

LRH: Oh, yeah.

PC:… from the difference.

LRH: All right. All right. Here's the next command.

Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Ah, I lost that one.

LRH: Hm?

PC: I lost that command.

LRH: All right. I'll repeat the auditing command. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yep.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. What was that one?

PC: This last one?

LRH: Mm-hm.

PC: I chased back then looking at what I was doing a few minutes ago.

LRH: Oh, yeah.

PC: I lost – when I laughed, it was because I – I have a lot of trouble with my – my feet – my toes curling up.

LRH: Oh, yes.

PC: And I've been annoyed about this for a long time in Scientology, why I curl my toes up inside my shoes.

LRH: Oh?

PC: That was the similarity I got.

LRH: Oh, all right. Okay.

All right, here's the next one. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yep.

LRH: All right. How are you doing now?

PC: Good.

LRH: Okay, is it all right with you if we run this for another couple of minutes and then close it down as – for the moment?

PC: Yeah, good.

LRH: Huh? All right. Here's the next one.

Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Now, how are you doing?

PC: Good.

LRH: All right. I'll give you just two more if that's all right with you.

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: All right. Think of a similarity between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: Good. Think of a difference between yourself and a baby.

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right now, Frank, how you doing?

PC: Pretty good.

LRH: Doing pretty good, huh?

PC: Was pretty tough going there.

LRH: It was rough.

PC: Oh, I'll say.

LRH: Yes sir. Well, do you think this is applicable?

PC: Hm?

LRH: Did you think this was applicable?

PC: That's right.

LRH: You thought it was right on the button, huh?

PC: Yeah.

LRH: All right. That-a-boy. Well, let's see here, see what we got here.

[to audience] Factually, he's gained back, through the running of this thing, why he's down from a third to a quarter, to give you some idea how long it takes to flatten one of these things. He's gone down about a sixth of a whole tone, and this last fifteen minutes of run, you understand, was – maybe not quite a sixth, it's just sneaking down very easily, and you'd expect it to probably dive here and come back here and settle down. But it's still on the downside. Do you understand? But, of course, fifteen minutes a run is just nothing. Although I'm sure that we've taken a lot of the automaticities of it off. Haven't we?

PC: Hm. I feel once – once I bust through a bit of this confusion…

LRH: Oh, yeah.

PC:… it will go much faster.

LRH: All right. Now, it's all right with you then if we call this a session?

PC: Yeah. Good.

LRH: All right. Anything you want to say before we end this session?

PC: No, it's just amazing.

LRH: All right.

PC: I say, "No" and then I was going to say something.

LRH: You what?

PC: I said, "No" and then I was going to say something.

LRH: All right. Say something.

PC: It's just amazing how hard it is to stop snapping terminals.

LRH: Yeah, isn't it?

PC: Yeah, you can say that again.

LRH: Yeah.

PC: You get a similarity…

LRH: Yeah.

PC:… and then a difference…

LRH: All right.

PC:… and get it glued up, and…

LRH: Yeah, that's right.

Okay, well you've actually helped me out here in giving a demonstration quite a bit and I think we really got someplace.

PC: Good.

LRH: Don't you?

PC: Mm-hm.

LRH: And thank you very much. End of session.

PC: Yeah. Thank you.

LRH: Youbetcha.

PC: Thank you.

LRH: Thanks a lot, Frank.

PC: All right.

Okay, now there is an assessment, demonstration of an Assessment by Dynamics.

Complicated, isn't it?

Audience: No.

Can't you think of some complications to add on to it?

Now, look, your Instructors are going to be very upset if you can't think of a lot of complications for it.

Actually, it's terribly simple, but on these terrible simplicities very often, why, the thing flies off. You say, "Well, how many parts of a dynamic are there? How many parts of a dynamic should we ask about?" Something like that. Those are perfectly legitimate questions.

But they are answered this way. They're answered this way, "How many parts of life are there?" Well, now, you start adding up how many parts there are and that's how many parts you ask about.

Now, you've only got one little liability in asking about this, one little liability in Dynamic Straightwire.

I'll tell you a funny story on your chief Instructor, with your permission of course.

All right, that's – that's fine.

Works like this. The one valence in the world he didn't think he ever had anything to do with was the one that ran with a crash. He probably never thought about this valence. He probably never had any slightest suspicion. He could take the valence and leave it alone and so on. And I never saw anybody's face quite so bedazzled and surprised and so forth as when, in London, a long time ago, when somebody found this particular valence.

Tell them which one it was.

Male voice: It's probably occluded by now.

Come on. Which one was it?

Male voice: I don't know!

Listen to that. It was run out. "A matador." Me!

Yeah. Look it. Look at it. It's still flat.

The auditor's reports with regard to this had to do with an occlusion on a valence. It didn't get run very long. They dive out of sight. Now listen…

Male voice: Oh, I remember now. Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! You…

For instance he could leave them alone before but he just never thought about them somehow. Now, I ask him about them again and the thing has been pretty well flattened off and erased, so he just wouldn't think about it. Don't you get the idea? There's two sides to this thing.

Well, you can get in the same boat as long as you've got any weak valences kicking around that are upset valences or something like that. When you're doing a Dynamic Straightwire, watch it that you don't skip some portion of the dynamics because you'll inevitably skip – before you've had them run on you and sorted out – you'll inevitably skip the part that ought to be run on you. Got the idea?

You don't always obsessively run on the pc what you think is wrong with you. That isn't the way it goes. That's not true.

What you obsessively forget to run on the pc is what's wrong with you. Got it?

Audience: Yes.

So, only then are you going to get into any confusion on about how many parts are there of the dynamics and how many parts should you ask about.

As far as reading needles are concerned – as far as reading needles is concerned, why, you're reading the different needle, and the different needle may mean a stuck needle, a rising needle, a theta bopping needle, a needle that suddenly goes tone [stage] four. Different – be a different needle.

And usually the characteristic that the pc has when he sits down and takes the cans, not always, but is usually the characteristic you'll get on all the dynamics, except the one that's buttoned, and that's going to change the look of a needle. All of a sudden it's going to start doing something else.

Now, don't you ever tell any student that it "always theta bops" or "it always does this or it always does that" when you find them, because it's not true.

All it does is something different than the pattern. You got that?

Audience: Yes.

When you do that Dynamic Assessment, you'll find the weakest terminal every time.

Okay, we've run overtime.

Thank you very much.

Good night.
