6608C04 SHSpec-74 Dianetics, Scientology, and Society
Dianetics has an interesting history. It hit like a battering ram, and
the planet hasn't recovered from the impact. It got neglected after 1951, but
it is the entrance point to what the mind is all about. It gives a
superficial explanation of what behavior is all about. It wrapped up the
world of mental healing. It is a very junior subject. When it became clear
that we were addressing the human spirit, working on his mind seemed of far
lesser importance.
The backflash against dianetics and scientology is based on the fact that
it works and that it is in competition with psychiatry, not that it is a
fraud. Not all psychiatrists are really evil. Some are merely caught up in a
routine that they can't escape. However, a lot of them are SP's. Those that
aren't are pretty PTS. They don't understand what we are doing, nor do we
understand what they are doing, because we don't have the same goals as the
psychiatrists. On soliciting approval from psychiatrists: "I rarely go
around zoos wondering if I am acceptable to the monkeys in the cages."
In unsuccessful activities, you get a change of titles, every once in
awhile. Mental "healers" keep changing their titles. At present, they are
"psychiatrists". In the 1920's, they were "alienists", etc. One reason that
they are unsuccessful is that they give all their time to a down statistic and
keep getting pulled under. If we were to approach the same area as our major
purpose, we would, in order to make it, first have to be very well and
successfully established in other fields. The west is a scientific barbarism,
not really a civilization, yet. A man has to be pretty civilized, before he
can be trusted with much power. Current society has power without gentler
social graces to restrain it. People in society are trying to control human
behavior by brute force. This is a very crude technology. It is very dicey
to put technology out for those who are accustomed to abusing technology. It
would only be safe if the technology itself [or learning the technology]
produced enough case gain to prevent their abusing it. A tech must be able to
work rapidly enough to counteract the tendency to abuse tech.
Something peculiar is going to happen. You are taking off from the
tremendous technical background of scientology and going back to its immediate
entrance background. Of course this is very easy to clarify. It is best not
to use dianetics as an entrance point [for dissemination purposes], but to get
the person into scientology and then teach him dianetics as a training
technique. We are advancing the most powerful psychosomatic technology on the
planet as a training technique: As it advances, don't lose sight of
scientology. It is great to be able to salvage the body so that you can
salvage the being. There is a use for dianetics. But don't put fixing up a
body above helping a being. Remember that you are salvaging a being, not his
particular peculiarities. You could change someone's peculiarities by finding
and running out engrams. If you had an individual with a certain aberration,
you could find a chain of engrams to explain it, that, when run, would change
his behavior. But there is some more basic reason for his being that way.
His more fundamental life has been dedicated to going wrong in that direction,
so of course he has accumulated a great number of incidents that demonstrate
going wrong in that direction. A scientology technique could release him from this tendency to collect engrams. You had better be sure to go back far enough. For this, you need to have the concept of the spiritual nature of Man. "If you don't accept the spiritual nature of Man, you can't make dianetics work, because it goes back too far." There is a piece of scientology tech that gets him over
his tendency to accumulate engrams on a subject: reach and withdraw. With
this technique, you can bring the individual up to PT, without bothering to
inquire about which mass is causing him to crack up airplanes. This could
work for several lifetimes. Scientology is just that much stronger [than
dianetics]. It is true that, in one lifetime, several experiences can ruin
someone. It is true that as long as the "traumatic shock" is contained in a
broken leg, healing can be normal or prolonged. If you ran the incident, even
just this lifetime, you would reduce the time of healing from six weeks to two
weeks. Use dianetics when injury or illness prevents auditing. Patch the PC
up so that you can audit him. In other words, if actual advance of the being
is seriously hindered by physical distractions, dianetics is useful as a means
of getting rid of them. You might need to run out the PC's efforts to cure
the illness. In a short space of time, it blew anyway on the auditing that
the PC had had, but there was just a moment when it seemed too overwhelming to
permit of actual auditing, so engram running was used to take the edge off."
engram running has some use, and one ought to know how to do it. Spectacular
things do happen with dianetic auditing. For instance a goiter the size of a
large baseball could shrink and disappear in half an hour. The insane can
sometimes run engrams and go sane. They are just PTS. They keep wanting to
run the incident that the psychiatrist said wasn't true. LRH concluded that
being sane or insane has nothing to do with someone's state of case. Many
people in institutions have been put there for other causes than insanity.
That is one of the things wrong with suspending civil rights because of
insanity.
Making the able more able may not be as profitable as it could be, but it
is much sounder as a basis for organizational and personal repute and growth.
If you set up to cure lumbosis, you are standing on a slippery log across a
roaring stream, picking up a boulder. You are in an enturbulated area, and it
is risky and prone to relapse. It takes a lot of effort, and the auditor
generally gets kicked in the teeth. LRH's records tend to show that it
doesn't pay to reward the down statistic. It is getting so that government
penalizes the up statistic and rewards the down statistic (rioters, welfare
cases, etc.). You could probably be very agreeable with society by rewarding
the down statistic, e.g. if you helped the retarded, etc. But when you are
standing on a slippery log over a raging torrent, you don't lean over to lift
a heavy rock out of the stream. [First build a bridge and bolt a derrick on
it.] So we are swimming against the stream of society. So we are holding a
constant purpose, trying to help our fellow man. Just doing that would get us
someplace. The rest of society has been slipping. If we just held constant,
we would win. But we are doing more than that. The size of our movement is
growing. Everyone connected with it is getting more able as an individual.
The 22 clears are just now enrolling on Part I of the OT Course. The first 30
clears are to get it free. So, as society sinks, we are on a rising
platform.
LRH has received an unofficial statement that if he wanted permanent
residence in Rhodesia, he could have it. The FDA thing has been dropped by
the government. The lawyers are conferring to see how they can give the
seized materials back without getting sued. LRH wasn't allowed to appear at
the inquiry in Australia, because they knew that it would make them look
silly. We win these things, but no one ever announces the fact in the
papers. Scientology looks bad, legally, because the newspapers and other
media always report the suits, attacks, and entheta against scientology in
banner headlines, and the fact that we always win -- (in court and elsewhere)
is never reported. In general, entheta can just be dropped and neglected.
This would always be safe for an OT. Further down the line, you must take
rapid action.
The problem of what you do with what you know is determined by the
framework of the society in which you are working. It is not always the same
solution. A violinist who went to perform for some lumberjacks would do well
to consider his audience, in deciding what to play. Working within the human
race, you monitor your use of technology by the society. Dianetics could be a
good entrance point in some societies, e.g. atheistic or materialistic ones.
It wouldn't be so acceptable in Moslem or Buddhistic scientology, with its
approach to Man as a spirit, wouldn't reach them. Your problem in
disseminating is just how to tailor your approach to the group that you are
addressing. In dissemination, you must present to a person only that part of a
gradient of what you know about existence that the fellow doesn't have to
protest and argue with to preserve his own integrity. You are trying to sell
him what he already knows, down deep. But this is covered with a lot of false
information. Somewhere, however, there is an entrance point. Get the other
guy to contribute, somewhat, to the conversation, so you can have an
agreement. Never give someone false data, just to get agreement. Your force
and impact consists of the fact that you speak the truth. Truth is such a
fast arrow that it goes through, without the guy knowing what is happening.
He may feel that he is under attack. Give the person something he can use,
e.g. data or processing. You can select the pieces of scientology that come
nearest to his reality. Estimate the guy's position on the tone scale, his
problems, his use for scientology data, etc., when disseminating. If you
don't reach to the person's reality level, you will make him feel as though
you are attacking him. Give people data they can use, or they won't have much
use for it. If you do it right, the reaction you will get is, "Gee: Where
has this been all my life?"
Dianetics has an important role in dissemination. It is the finest
dissemination material. Use it. People aren't ready (for example) to hear
about scientology's O/W techniques. But don't practice dianetics on people.
Let them practice dianetics. The greater truth lies in scientology, but the
experience lies in dianetics. It teaches people something about the mind. It
gives new auditors practice in auditing. LRH has used meter dating with a
newspaper reporter to disseminate. He got the reporter's last accident with
the meter and managed to turn on somatics.
The statement in the Introduction to Book One that says that any two
people can cure up to 70% of people's ills, was put there by Joe Winter, not
LRH.
You can direct someone's attention to a picture and key out the picture.
You could ask, "Has anyone in your family ever had that problem?" and key out
the picture, just by getting him to look at it. Or you could ask, "Are you
worried? Did you ever know anyone who was worried? Can you see them
worrying?, etc." Just seeing his first picture gives a person case gain.
