CHAPTER B5 - THE EXTERIOR PC
EXTERIORIZATION PROCESSES
The following process can
be used on a Step II preclear:
"Get the concept that the
body keeps sitting in the chair and the beingness of the body moves back
of it."
Proceed to move that beingness
or personality in, out and around the body. If the person's getting good
mock-ups, he'll start to get better mock-ups on this than he's gotten for
some time. Have him be a bright thing or something and keep his beingness
- the feeling of personality - connected to the bright thing, not from
the bodies, but from the bright thing. What you've done there is transfer
the personality over from the body to which it is not native, to the beingness
to which it is native, and that's the stunt.
Exteriorization by orientation: ask the preclear, still inside, to locate the inside of his forehead. And ask him to put a pressor beam against it and push himself out through the back of his head. Supplement this by asking him to reach out through the back of his head and grab the wall with a pulling (tractor) beam, and pull himself out. Ask him to steady himself outside and then, by means of beams, to raise and lower himself while outside, and to move to various parts of the room while still outside.
For a Step I, it's better
to say, "BE two feet back of your head" than "MOVE two feet back of your
head." To a Step II, you say, "MOVE out", because he pushes himself around,
he uses effort. And then you work on him so he can think himself to places.
Get him out of his use of
beams to propel himself around, as fast as you can. That's done by rehabilitating
his use of beams. Make him so good at using beams that he doesn't need
beams - not just discouraging him from using beams.
If you run into a preclear that you can't spring immediately, your drills then could consist of solving a snap-in by just mocking up heads with sticks and strings and having him put on heads, and move away heads, and throwing heads away and mocking up heads out there and letting them snap in at him ... on any gradient scale until he could handle heads all over the place.
Negative exteriorization
is still a process. (developed by Evans Farber). It's the only one given
in the book Scientology 8-80. It simply says,
"Try not to be a foot behind
your head". And the guy'd bang into it. Well, that's the opposite vector,
MEST universe. But a preclear occasionally gets mad, and quite in addition
to it, I haven't found auditors being able to make it work. I can make
it work. Evidently Farber can make it work. But practically every auditor
I've trained sooner or later came around to me and said, "Ron, you know,
I can't get anybody to work on that negative exteriorization."
AUDITING THE EXTERIOR PC
If he gets out of his body in this Step One, you can work to get him out of his body more thoroughly. That's quite a technique. You might not go in for the remaining steps at all; there are a lot of things you can do.
There's two tests, one obscure.
You can't be sure that he is making a change of postulate by simply making
a new postulate. You don't know to the last ditch whether this is true
or not. But you do know this: when you haul off to kick him in the shins
or you make him bang his knuckles together, does he dive back in? Well,
if he dives back in, he's going to take quite a little processing.
He's in good shape, but
he'll go through fluctuations. This is what you see as a fluctuating Theta
Clear. He's not a Theta Clear, he's an exteriorized thetan. He's going
in and out of the body. You can't be sure he'll remain as a stable Theta
Clear at all, if he has a tendency to jump back in the body any time the
body is menaced, or if he retains feeling in the body while he's out of
the body.
Teach the pc how to disconnect.
When you get your preclear out there and have him throw a tractor beam
on something, you say, "Now turn it off." Yeah, he can turn it off - slowly.
Work for speed on lifting
and disconnecting. When a body gets hurt on which he's got a tractor beam
- can he get that tractor beam off? He sees the body is going to get hurt,
he tries to disconnect and it's going to take him a few seconds, that's
too long. That's why he's here in a body.
Get that drill. Turn those tractor beams on. Just put them on something (mock-up, real object, alternately) and hold it still. You don't have to move it. Just put a couple of tractor beams on something and turn them off.
DIFFICULTIES WITH EXTERIORIZATION
A fellow who is trying to desert his body, have him take possession of his body.
Preclears who are very hard to move out of their heads are people who were moved about, pushed about, their possessions taken away from him, their possessions broken up and particularly their anchor points.
Check up and find out how far the lamppost is from your preclear. How far it is with his eyes open, how far it is with his eyes shut. You'll find two different distances. It might happen like this: The second he shuts his eyes, why, the room is the size of an inch cube. He's way out someplace looking at it.
An awful lot of your preclears, you spring them out, they will tell you they're an energy unit, they're one inch tall, or they're this way or that. You don't invalidate them, just go through Step Two. They're not composed of energy and they're not located in space.
If he can't perceive, rehabilitate energy by addressing fear of what he might find in space in terms of objects. Objects are much less dangerous than actual liquid molten energy. An object is fairly safe.
CONTINUING FROM STEP I
The highest operating level
that you'll be able to attain with a preclear is a complete stability on
making postulates. He makes a postulate and the postulate sticks.
If you want to operate any
further like that, start him making postulates which increase his ability
to accomplish. Put him over the hurdles about moving MEST and so on. So
your next step could be a lot of mock-ups to improve that ability, and
would then immediately go in to moving the body around from the outside.
You can give him quite a lot of it.
Remark: It would also be
a point to go for other "psychic" abilities like telepathy, clairvoyance,
etc.
If you have a preclear who's
out of his body and who couldn't even move a cigarette paper, run:
"Get how terrible it would
be to move the cigarette paper". And then have the cigarette paper moving
him all over the place, and chasing him ...
Degradation is an inability
to handle force. Lack of pride because one's force is gone.
LIFTING
So your next level - you
have him pick up one finger, then two fingers, then three fingers, using
beams. They can do that very early in the case, lots of times.
Have them pick up a finger
and move a finger sideways. And then pick up the whole hand. And then pick
up the hand up to the elbow. And then pick up the hand and yank it straight
up into the air and throw it backwards. The guy is outside, of course.
He has to be outside to do this. The guy is free to move objects which
he customarily moves. He's very convinced these objects are movable.
When he gets so that his
hand can be picked up, and his arm, and his legs - why, have him pick up
his body rather forcefully - one direction or another - and handle his
body from outside. Boy, that is worth a lot of processing. a guy gets bigger
and stronger and tougher. Use a gradient scale - you mustn't leave the
preclear in a failure.
You supplement that exercise
with mock-ups. "Lift the body, lift the body". Then "Mock up a body and
lift it." and back.
HOW TO RUN LIFTING
You have a thetan present in the body and he is all that the preclear will ever be and yet he has totally negated against any form as such. What we are doing here is bringing that beingness, the only being that preclear will ever be, into beingness, and it comes up above the level of 0.0. Well, the fastest way to get it up above the level of 0.0 that I know is to return to the thetan some of his own functions in handling the body. He gets a tremendous difference, the feeling of this.
There's a most interesting
drill to demonstrate to the thetan that he is actually handling the body
with his own energy, when he makes it impulse and do anything.
One of the strangest things
that you can do with a preclear, let's say he's sitting in a chair and
has his hands on the arms of the chair, he's outside of the body and you
tell him to go around and pick up one of the fingers of the body. Or to
make it even easier, put his hand on a table. By the way, if you omit this
step, your chances of getting him to bust pop bottles and so forth are
quite faint because he thinks that something ought to go bust the pop bottle
for him, somebody else ought to do it, that's automaticity, you see.
So after you've drilled
him in numerous ways, mock-ups and that sort of thing, don't omit this
step. Have him handle the body while being exterior to the body and without
using his communication lines to the body or its automatic responses. Have
him go around and pick up one of the body's fingers. He'll puff and strain
at this and unstabilize himself and he'll be getting very upset. And all
of a suddent you'll see the finger that he's working on suddenly move over.
Make him pick up that finger,
make him pick up another finger, make him cross a couple of fingers, make
him take one of the fingers and make it go spat, spat, down on the table.
Finally get him to a point where he's picking up this hand and dropping
it again so it goes thoomp!
You see, if he tells the
finger to move, sure enough, he's using his old ridges which are already
rigged up in the body energy to make the finger move. That's no trick.
Train him to do something
thetans have never been trained to do, to make that hand write with beams.
And the day you do that, that day he ceases to have a complete dependence
on the body for communication.
Remark: other drills could
be devised to achieve communication, using electronical devices like condenser-based
keyboards or touch-sensitive screens, using or not fingers and other body-parts
to activate the device.
It's an interesting thing that he can handle flesh of his own body much before he can handle any other kind of matter. That's because he's used to it, he sees it move and because he owns it and it's not liable to kick back at him and a lot of other things.
But you move on from there
to putting up a dummy hand. Just put up something, a board with a pencil
in the end of it to furnish pressure and so on, a board with a pencil shoved
through it, and he could go ahead and handle that. He can really make that
board move around and make crude letters, A, B, C. "What do you know,"
he'll say, "I can write."
Understand, he's got to
be trained to do this almost perfectly with his own hand before he'll feel
any confidence in the second step of moving a board and a pencil. He'll
finally get so he can handle that because it's a mock-up of his arm. Now
you just say to him, "All right, now take the pencil, and write directly
with the pencil." Boy, will he fumble, and the pencil will fall down and
he'll be erecting tripods and derricks and everything else all over again,
all complicated ways. But all of a sudden he can write with a pencil. He
can move a pencil around and make it write.
It's only a step from that
to take a torch and write something in fire on a wall.
PICTURES SHOWING UP
When you start the lifting
exercises, for example, the fellow says, "There's a log lying right here
across my legs and that's why I can't lift one of my legs."
This has happened time after
time. It falls into the band of facsimiles and would probably fall into
the category of a past-life facsimile.
Last night, Nibs and I,
were trying one exercise, and these facsimiles just kept flying off. Of
course, he couldn't lift his leg because of all these facsimiles. Remark:
Nibs is LRH's later estranged son, L.Ron Hubbard Jr.
Now, the way he handles
facsimiles, of course, he says, "Look, another picture!" and pitches it
out the nearest window, or makes it disappear down the time track or something.
But preclears that you're
working initially don't have this skill. A person who cannot run a facsimile
is simply unable to get the facsimile into the position where it can be
run. That is, he could not move a picture before him, behind him, above
him, below him and into last week. Just get the person so that he can handle
a facsimile, or handle mock-ups and pictures in this fashion - make them
appear and disappear and increase and decrease and turn upside-down and
the content changed. And the next thing you know, you've got yourself a
nice smooth facsimile there that can be picked up and thrown out the window
- it doesn't have to be run. If you can orient it to this degree, well,
why run it?
THE THETAN'S HANDS
There's an interesting trick
on this. This process is to run on a preclear who's still inside his body.
Get a thetan to start using his "hands" - his postulated hands. How do
you suppose he moves an arm? He's got a beam one way or another. There's
a dozen ways of hooking these things up. But he'll have a beam going to
various energy deposits which give this arm action and inaction.
Every thetan still has a
potentiality of putting an energy beam down each arm. Get him to do this
weird little trick. Get him to take those beams and go through all the
motion necessary to move his arm without the arm moving. He'll feel so
strange for a little while.
You say, "Get the sensation
necessary to move your arm in, an inch." And the first time he does it
he'll get a twitch on the arm. He'll finally be able to get what beams
he's using free for his own use. It's very interesting.
Going through the same actions
he would go through to turn his arm, move in, move it back, move it around
(without doing the actual movements). Have him close his eyes. It's just
as though you were postulating the muscular action of an arm, but actually
move the beam, not the arm. Some of them are handling that whole arm from
way up on the shoulder. Sometimes it's actually in the finger.
This MEST arm is getting
less and less real to him. And this beam is getting a little more real
to him. Sometimes he'll hit a body facsimile with horrible hands, just
as he has a facsimile of other past bodies. It's not really his body at
all. Not any more than Homo sapiens' drape-over is his body.
With a lot of preclears
it's totally unnecessary. I'm talking about a preclear who's pinned down
in the body. You can't get him out, something of the sort. If he starts
feeling nauseated, depraved or degraded or something like that, just keep
him at it. Degradation is just not-beingness and unable to use force, that's
all it is. It's the emotion of "I cannot use force." It's a can't.
Then make him hold his head
still but use all the mech-anisms necessary to move his head. Make him
get the sensation of moving his head without moving his head. You'll have
ridges going pong and pang and headaches turning on and off.
And the next thing, get
him to shrug his shoulders and leave his MEST shoulders where they are.
And he'll find out where he's using all these actions and it becomes elementary
to him.
And then all of a sudden,
even though he's located in the center of his head, he'll just move right
on out. Not only that, but your thetan will come out, you might say, fighting.
Your thetan will come out in a state where he can pick up a book on the
table and flutter its leaves. That really upsets people. But you've demonstrated
to him that he can do it.
Let's put this willy-nilly
at Step 4. Just exercise the thetan's beams while he's still in the body.
It's a very fascinating experience.
You're overcoming, when you do this, the automaticity imposed by the body, and that Homo sapiens' body which your thetan is packing around is a last line of automaticity. When this body is dead, the thetan isn't there at all, so he knows he's very much worse than dead. So he has no place to go but to report back to something or other.
GOALS OF LIFTING
With Body Lifting, you will
finally get him so he is throwing that body around the room like a sofa
pillow. You make him hurt himself (lightly) every once in a while.
Just keep him at it. Make
him win every time in lifting it and he'll be able to throw his body around
like mad.
He'll consider this as absolutely
nonsensical, ducking into his head.
Because he's in there pitching and agreeing with the real universe, instead of the actual universe, and so he takes a look at the actual universe and throws himself some mock-ups there and all of a sudden says, "Well, not so bad," and you got release from tension.
Any time this power action
(lifting and the like) seems to be slacking off, you've just agreed too
long with the real universe, so you sit down and do a few mock-ups.
It isn't that you draw power
out of the mock-ups or anything strange or peculiar like that. It's just
that concentration on the real universe gets a fellow back below a certain
point into flows. And he wants to use them, therefore he gets rather obedient
to them.
He gets up above a break
point, however, and above this point he doesn't give a damn. But you have
to get him just so high before it really has no further effect on him.
Force is random effort,
and effort is directed force. That break point is a very specific point,
where he simply gets way out away from something and he says, "Jump," and
it of course promptly jumps. He doesn't use a beam, he makes it jump with
a postulate, instead of taking the intermediate step of throwing beams
on it.
UNMOCKING
Your technique that goes up from there (Lifting) specializes in unmocking and mocking. He goes out and selectively unmocks MEST objects, particularly bodies. Remark: "spotting" other people is a gradient of unmocking other bodies.
Rising Scale Processing is above that level.
Mock-ups of one's own universe and unmocking the real universe produce some singular results. While you're lying on the couch, put out anchor points and then unmock the couch - put something of your own creation below the couch. And then unmock everything else but the beingness of you, the anchor points and that mock-up. In other words, unmock the real universe. Unmocking is done carefully within his own frame of reference. He doesn't unmock for other people. Unmocking leads to a fellow just sitting there and no body. He doesn't feel any body. But at any moment you can re-mock it up.
You never ask him to unmock
his body at all. It'll just disappear on him. You point it out to him afterwards
his body wasn't there.
He says, "That's right.
The body isn't there."
"Well, why does your body
have to be there now? Why don't you just move out two feet behind your
back?"
