All right. We get here the psycho in the insane asylum who’s being God. And then we get the psycho in the insane asylum who’s being Christ. He’s not quite as bad off as the psycho being God. See? He’s inverted. He’s out through the bottom to the extent that he as a thetan is going to be God.
You say, “Be three feet back of your head.” If he was in communication at all, he would merely tell you he was God right now, see? Huh! There wouldn’t be any uncertainty about it — he knows! He is convinced; you should be, too.
You run into this every once in a while but the clue is, is he is nowhere near his body in the first place and he’d have to be processed to come back into his body and out of his body again in order to give you the exteriorization1 which we want. It’s symptomatic that he says, “I’m over there.”
Now, because that’s a long way to climb doesn’t mean it’s a long way to process; it breaks quickly. But he says as a thetan — anywhere down from about an inverted 3 — he’ll tell you, “I’m over there.” See? “My thetan…” he will say. See? And people who are really sold on religion talk about “our God.”
Religion, as you know it in the Christian church, is well in the vicinity of 0.0. It’s really close to death. They talk about “their God.” A little bit higher they talk about “their Christ.”
Well, what’s God in this case? It’s themselves. But you’ve got to go all the way up through the dynamics to find him. You can’t go out and walk around geographically trying to locate, yourself, your own God because you are your own God. It’s so simple. You can’t walk around all over the place trying to “find Christ” or “put Christ in your heart” or some such thing as that, because as far as you’re concerned, you’re — when you got to a straight up 72, you’d be it — you’d be Christ. Do you get the idea?
So we’re not — we’re not concerned with the condition so much as we are the distance.
When a person is completely sold on the idea of there being a God, you know where he is on the Tone Scale3. “There is a God. I know there is a God. He is my God, and I am blah-blah-blah-blah-blah.” He’s just sold down the line. You know you’re talking to somebody — you know just about where he is on the Tone Scale. He’s just about 0.0 — practically dead.
Little higher on the Tone Scale they use this God to Christianize them, like they got slaves over in Africa, you know? You think for a moment that I’m using blasphemy. I’m not. These are the people that are using blasphemy. They are doing the only crime that you can do: They are denying themselves. And that is the only crime possible. That is the only cross-up of ethics possible. After mulling it over and turning it over and testing it for a long time, why, I finally found that out that the only unethical thing you can do is deny yourself.
So, they’ve denied themselves to the point of saying, “God is out there and he made the universe.” Oh no, he isn’t. They made the universe and they’re not out there; they’re right here.
This fellow’s inverted; he’s not in his body.
Now we come right back up the line, we don’t find anybody in his body until we start getting up fairly high. See, we’re going right on up the line thetawise.
But fortunately the very act of saying, “Be three miles or three light-years or ten feet back of your head” — the very act of saying this is — the sudden recognition of it, if the guy exteriorizes (pow) at all, he jumps, quite ordinarily, up the Tone Scale a number of rungs. He goes up fast if he exteriorizes like this. And he goes up fast the more certainty he obtains on exteriorization because — pow! pow! pow! Q and A — the riddles of existence are just fading out on him at a mad rate. Just real fast!
