Chapter 3

If Life—or theta, as it is called in Scientology (q )—is a mirror and a creator of motion which can be mirrored, it follows then that mirror-wise, the whole of the laws of motion, magnetism, energy, matter, space and time can be found in thought, and behavior and even thinking partake of the physical universe laws regarding matter, energy, space and time. Thus even the laws of Newton can be found operative in thought. Fortunately all this is beyond the need of an auditor’s immediate grasp of the subject for if it were not, an auditor would have to be first a nuclear physicist before he could begin to make the lame well and the able more able.

Some understanding of the matter is, however, desirable—otherwise some very weird philosophies would develop which would benefit none. Man has been ridden to death by philosophies which, unproven by any result, yet achieved enough prominence to spoil many a society (Schopenhauer or Nietzsche, for example). And many a scientific effort has fallen into disrepute because of philosophic misrepresentation.

Kant and Hegel all but ruined any hope nuclear physics or the humanities had by wild misinterpretation (in resounding language) of Indian philosophy and other early efforts to resolve the riddle of existence. So let us see how very basic and simple are the reasons why we audit what we audit.

Life can create motion or use motion or mirror motion.

Motion is a change in space. Any change involves time. Conversely, for there to be time, there must be change. If no change occurs we have the illusion of a static again.

The main trouble with facsimiles is that they “hang up” in time, then become timeless and then give the concept of “no change”. Our preclear, desiring to change for the better, cannot change because he is “hung up” in a memory which he “can’t” change. The auditor wants change. Timelessness or forgiveness prevents change and these unwelcome conditions come about when a facsimile “hangs up” in present time. This makes the preclear feel he is unable to change. No matter what you do for him, if you do not get him “into present time” or (the same thing) get the facsimiles out of present time, you have “no change”.

Thus we had better know what makes a facsimile “hang up”, and, “hung Up”, act upon the preclear.

We see that a facsimile is a mirror of old motions. It is undone and gotten out of present time by dropping out its “motion”.

Only the mind can put the “motion” of a facsimile back into motion in the physical universe.

I he facsimile is “made” by the mind’s ability to duplicate the wave or motion patterns of the physical universe.

A “live” attention unit operates only in present time. A facsimile is composed of “dead” attention units, a pattern once made by “live” units in some past present time. For example, one sees a man. His attention units could be said in that instant to make up the pattern of what he sees. A moment later, he has a facsimile made up of “dead” attention units. He can “sec” this man again simply by throwing live units at patterns of dead units. The facsimile can come “alive” and active only when scanned by live units. Then, it can stay “alive” so long as live units are fixed on it. It will not “run out” or dissipate unless a large number of live units are played on it. Thus, a facsimile can “hang up”. This is an analogy, but it will do for an auditor.

An auditor can “see” his preclear as a mind which is surrounded by old facsimiles which arc given just enough attention to keep them “in present time”. It is the task of the auditor to drop all facsimiles into an inactive state. It is a grim fact that one really doesn’t think with these heavy facsimiles. One could survive quite well if he had no facsimiles!

Thought can pervade an area or approximate a situation and know. The mind thinks with light facsimiles, or no facsimiles at all.

Thus there is a compulsion early on the track to have facsimiles. Then, as one ceases to “know”, one is at length no longer in control of his facsimiles but is their victim. Given enough facsimiles, a man dies; a theta being decays until it can’t even be a Man.

How, then, does one strip away facsimiles from the present time of the preclear? The auditor would have to audit billions of them to erase all the facsimiles the preclcar has made or “borrowed” and which now act heavily upon him, giving him illness, degradation and aberration—as well as amnesia as to his actual past.

We can rehabilitate the preclear by raising his ability to create energy, and thus bring him to a “speed” which has sufficient output for him to overcome facsimiles. We do this by erasing or reducing certain facsimiles, and, in doing so, retrain our preclear to produce a higher energy potential.
