Chapter 15

The reason your preclear is fixed to a MEST body lies in his inability to produce enough to know and to get away from one.

His career with bodies is as follows:

• He hurt them by accident first.
• Then he hurt them without understanding they hurt by using their sexual emotion.
• Then he blamed them and said and felt he would have no responsibility for them.
• Then he felt the emotion of no-sympathy for them.
• Then he felt sympathy.
• He began to propitiate.
• He wanted to make amends.
• He was a MEST body. *

Run the beauty and ugliness of these.

The cycle of no-sympathy-equals-sympathy is inevitable. That for which we declare no-sympathy today will receive our sympathy tomorrow.

If you have a preclear sight some old body well before him and feel no-sympathy for it, he then will feel no-sympathy, sympathy, propitiation, and suddenly, he IS the body.

One runs facsimiles on the body partly because the body is an electrical ground, partly because it has been assigned responsibility.

The thetan assigning responsibility to the body then becomes the body. This is a general principle. One becomes that to which he assigns responsibility too often and too long. He makes it Cause and, at last, to be Cause himself, he must be the thing.

People imagine they are in bodies because they are hiding from something and many other reasons. But these are not important. The important thing is that bodies were handy to have, once. They were fun.

This process, as itself, as simple as it is, will eventually detach one from his body. After that he can use it or not as he chooses.

The thetan is no fairy tale. Try these techniques for fifty hours and find out. Try them on a preclear who has never heard of facsimiles, electronics, or “whole track” and in fifty or one hundred hours he will be outside wondering what he was doing in “that thing”! You may have intended only to increase his sanity or happiness. You do it best by processing the thetan on 8-80.

*The cycle no-sympathy, sympathy, propitiation, make-amends, beingness IS the cause and cycle of the life CONTINUUM. It accounts in part for the transfer of somatics in an overt act or DED. It is a therapy in itself. It is run by itself but better with the concepts of beauty and ugliness, with agree and disagree on each level of the cycle. You could give this to a practitioner by itself and he would become quite famous for relieving aches and pains, for it solves valences, the acquirement of family difficulties from parents, and a thousand other things. The cycle sometimes runs anger, no-sympathy, fear, sympathy, propitiation, make-amends, beingness. The anger factor is the holder in the incident (and has tractors with it) and the fear is a bouncer. Fear of punishment is largely the fear in this cycle during the actual act, not afterwards because of police. No-sympathy is an emotion and an action. One puts a black curtain before himself to prevent his feeling affinity with that which he is hurting. This is a motionlessness which turns gray and runs out on agree and disagree from the victim and the punisher. No-sympathy can be an occlusion for the whole track. No- sympathy is also, of course, counter-no-sympathy in many incidents.—L.R.H.
