Description: Hubbard discusses the healing technique of Jesus Christ; compares with his ideas on "postulating."
If Christ ever drove any herd of swine over a cliff, and I’m surprised at him having overts1 on a herd of swine, if he ever did, if he ever existed, which is, has some doubt with it.
So many people were crucified in Roman times and for other reasons on the track, is they very easily think they must have been Christ. If you run it out they find out that they were crucified two hundred years afterwards and a hundred years before, and so on, and it looked pretty good. And a lot of people have been crucified on the track for having espoused reasons which were not quite those of the established authority.
So, he might or might not have existed, but if he did, but if he did, that would be the technique he was using, that’d be the mysterious technique. One wouldn’t quite believe it. Perhaps at some time or another somebody’s going along the line on crutches and instead of saying, “You poor fellow, how I sympathize with you,” if you suddenly said, “Walk,” and he did, you’d probably drop your false teeth. But it can happen.
And to the degree that there’s a little doubt mixed up in it, and to the degree that you realize that it is easy, that is the total trick. If you could cut down the amount of effort you were expending sufficiently, you could mock-up a planet. It’s the smallness of the effort implied and the largeness of the postulate2, not the largeness of the effort and the smallness of the postulate, or the loudness of the postulate, or making the postulate with your neck cords all swollen up. Now we are really talking into the, into the airy-fairy land when we’re talking about this sort of thing. It has lots of ramifications, it would just be healing on sight, that sort of thing.
