We should get, now, something of which you're certain.
Now let's see if we can find this, now. Something of which you're certain.
Throw them aside until you get one that's real good. Something of which you're real certain.
All right. Now let's get the most certain thing you can get about yourself, a thetan. And now the most certain thing you can get about yourself, a body. Now the most certain thing you can get about the sexual act. And your highest certainty that you can get, right now, about children. Now any certainty you can get about families.
And any certainty you can get about fathers. Any certainty you can get about mothers.
And the most certain thing you can get about groups, any kind of groups. And some certain things that you can get concerning Mankind. And your highest certainty about animals.
And a high-level certainty, now, about the MEST universe—the physical universe.
And any certainty you can get about space.
About energy.
About jewels.
About mountains.
About planets.
About stars.
Now the most certain things that you can get about ghosts. About spirits. About thetans. About the Devil.
The most certain thing now you can get about God.
All right. Now let's decide on a certainty about yourself. And getting one from somewhere, let's decide one.
And let's decide something about sex, I don't care what you decide, but just decide something about sex.
Decide something about families.
All right. Now let's decide something about groups. I don't care what you decide. "Groups are made out of pink cheese," it's all right. Just decide something.
Now decide something about Mankind. And get this with great decision. Don't consider it, just decide something. You know, men are no good or anything. Doesn't matter.
All right. Decide something, now, about the physical universe.
And decide something about space.
Decide something about energy.
Decide something about jewels.
And something about mountains.
And decide something about ghosts.
About spirits.
Decide something about thetans. Decide something about the Devil.
And decide something about God. Now decide something about your case.
Okay. Now let's tick off some various energies which are not at this moment making you certain of anything. Let's check over some energies that are not at this moment making you certain of anything.
All right. Now let's get something you are not afraid of. For sure now. Something you're not afraid of. And then get some more things you're not afraid of.
And some things you're not angry at.
And some more things you're not afraid of.
And some things which arc not ridiculing you.
Some more things that are not ridiculing you.
Now be way up above Phoenix and check over some things you are not trapped in. Or just check over some things you're not trapped in.
And now some things from which you're not flinching. Some things from which you are not flinching.
Now some things from which you can flinch. Now let's check over some places where you are not.
Now let's check over some objects, some minute objects like grains of dirt or electrons or something that you can see around, that you're not going to be like somewhere in the future. Find something you're not going to be like in the future.
Some more things you're not going to be like in the future, anything now. Get it for sure. Some things you're not going to be like in the future. And some places you are not. Okay.
Now let's find some things you wouldn't mind having from people. Let's get some. Get some more.

And some ideas you are not trying to create.
Okay. Find something you can be.

Some more things you can be for sure.
Now let's be something.
All right. Now let's check over some things you don't have to be—at least tomorrow. Some things you don't have to be.
Some more things you don't have to be. Oh, let's get one for sure. Then a whole lot more. Some more things you don't have to be.
And some more things you don't have to be.
And yet some more that you don't have to be.
Oh, and let's get a whole bunch more things you don't have to be for sure now.
And some more things you don't have to be. Check them over. Spot one of the like—something like what you're checking off.
Spot one like it.

And some kinds of machines or vehicles that you don't have to be at this moment.
And some bodies you don't have to be in at this moment.
Some more bodies you don't have to be in at this moment.
Some more things you don't have to be. Get some for sure now,
And now let's get some places where you don't have to arrive.
And some places you don't have to leave.
And some things you don't have to be at this moment.
Okay. Be well above Phoenix or right where you are and check over a number of objects and into each one put the postulate, "It has arrived." Some more things, put the postulate in them, "It has arrived."
And some more things you don't have to be.
And now some types of energy which you do not have to create at this instant.
And some energies you don't have to stop at this moment.

Okay.
Now let's get some things in your immediate environment that you're not in. Check it over.
Get some more.
All right. Get a series of particles, now. Two particles at a time, a series of particles that you're not holding apart.
Whole series of particles you're not holding apart.
And now a series of particles that you're not holding together. Two at a time.
Now a series of two particles each, that you're not trying to prevent from coming together.
Now a series of two particles each—they can be objects, anything—that you're not trying to prevent from flying apart.
And now some places you are not.
Now let's postulate—simply decide—on some things that are really real.
Now let's decide some more things are real. Just decide it.
Now let's make a whole series of contradictory decisions which don't necessarily agree with each other at all, about the state of your case. A whole series. Each decision completely independent.
Just a series of decisions: "My case is in wonderful shape." "My case is fair."
A whole bunch of more decisions about your case. "I will never recover." "I have already recovered." Make each one with great certainty.
Now a series of decisions about your case, each one to be irrevocable, never to be changed. No agreement from decision to decision, but each one never to be changed, absolutely certain, that's it!
Now make a whole bunch of decisions about other people's cases.
Now make a whole bunch of decisions about other people's cases that you personally are going to enforce. You're going to see to it. Case is in horrible shape, "I'm going to see to it that it's in horrible shape."
Now make a whole bunch of new decisions about your case. Each one independent. Each one the finished, final word on the subject.
Okay.
Now we're going to assume, arbitrarily, that some sort of thought or word or symbol, if you thought of it or read it, would spring the bank—utterly clear you and so forth. We're just going to assume there's some magic word and we're going to get, now, a series of words that won't do this—that are perfectly safe to think—they won't do this. See if you can get each one, now, that you're real secure about. That if you think it, it won't just clear you—bing.
Let's get some that are absolutely safe. Words, symbols that won't clear you—bing.
Oh, get some more. Some that are perfectly safe to think, without clearing you.
Now let's specialize a little bit. Let's get written words which might be presented to you on a piece of paper, that you're absolutely sure won't clear you —bing.
Let's get some more of these.
All right. Now let's see if there aren't some objects which, if they arrived, wouldn't send you away. You know, an object could appear in front of you without sending you off somewhere. Let's get some that are perfectly safe to have appear.
Now let's get some ceremonies with which such things or words could be presented that wouldn't make you go away.
Okay. Now let's get some things which could safely materialize in thin air before you, without making you immediately Clear or sending you away.
Now let's get some saints or spirits which could instantly materialize in the flesh, very unexpectedly before you, without saving you utterly.
Let's get some more.
Now let's get some things that could pop up through the floor and confront you, without clearing you immediately or clearing the hall.
Now let's get some signs and wonders which could appear, without altering the entire course of your existence.
Get some more.
Okay, Let's find some places where you are not. Places where you are not.
Find a couple of MEST objects and hold on to them and don't think.
Okay. Let go. Mock-up yourself as having perished because of the processing. Duplicate it.
Having perished because of the signs and wonders. Duplicate it. And find the floor beneath your feet. End of session.
