Lecture: Methods of Processing

One of the earliest uses of it was by a fellow by the name of Homer Lane. Lane went into an insane asylum in England and he said to the individuals involved in the management of this insane asylum, “I want to see your toughest case.” He was not a psychiatrist (most [...]

Lecture: The Conduct of an Auditor (2)

At present we only have two bad cases. One is being cleared up right now at a very rapid rate. The other one is a manic-depressive who was beaten up by her paranoiac husband. He brought her in after her psychosis had broken—a very nasty sort of a case. Over the period [...]

Book: Dianetics 55!

Pan-determinism1 would be the willingness to determine or control self and dynamics other than self. [...]
Let us take for our example of pan-determinism the second dynamic. Here we find such a thorough effort to have other-determinism that Freud picked this out as the only aberrative factor. It is not the only aberrative factor, but in [...]

Lecture: Auditing Quality

So you can actually get somebody who gets terribly anxious for hospital treatment because he’s never had any treatment in a hospital, you got the idea? He’s kept going to hospitals but they never treated anything. And he just gets into a total anxiety, you know. He wants treatment, he can’t have treatment, and – [...]

Lecture: Gradient Scales of Handling Space, Energies and Objects

Is the physical universe an illusion? You can test this one. If a man loses his last dream, you’ve got a corpse on your hand. Don’t kill a man with bullets because you don’t really kill him at all. We can test that and prove that on an E-meter.
No, sir. Kill him by taking his [...]

Lecture: Sense of Reality

Something that has to be rehabilitated in a patient is his feeling of reality. Never neglect the rehabilitation of that very fact.
An auditor must keep in mind that he is going to run across people who don’t know five minutes ago was real, who are floating about eight feet off the ground as far as [...]

Lecture: Analytical Mind

Aberration is the thing. The psychiatrist and psychologist are playing right into the hands of the engrams and aberration by crediting aberration itself with enormous strength, and have rendered it less possible for the problem to be solved or for people to be sane by saying that neurosis is the
thing which makes a genius. This [...]

Lecture: Analytical Mind (2)

Working on children is really an adventure, because the child doesn’t have a fully developed analytical mind. But the child that gets up to 9 years of age without too much in the bank can be cleared; and any child around 9 can have enough locks taken off the case, by educational methods, or enough [...]

Lecture: Clears in this Society

Another computation enters in there concerning manic-depressives. Everybody has got a few manics in his bank, but there are a few manic-depressives who have a cover-up mechanism whereby they cover up the aberration because they feel that the ally will leave them if they get well. For instance, Grandma has told the little boy who [...]

Lecture: Auditing Demonstration Sessions with Alan White (2)

A very definite principle that an auditor must follow is never bring a person up short. I have tested it and have done just that, occasionally— challenged the person’s memory, particularly when he was going over an incident that was very painful to him, and told him, “Well, you must be imagining it,” just as [...]
