Refund and Reparation

In the Christian church they get you stuck in God by running the line "blasphemy." "Thou must not talk to God." See? You mustn’t say anything bad about God. You mustn’t be in communication with God.

You mustn’t . . God isn’t there. You can’t talk to him. You mustn’t communicate with God. All right, if you set somebody down, and say, "All right. Get the idea of not communicating with God. Good. Get the idea of not communicating with God. Good. Get the idea of not communicating with God. Good. 

Get the idea. . ." and ARC broke him while you were running it, and get your rudiments out, and have somebody ring him on the phone in the middle of the session and tell him his wife has just left him, or something like this. In other words, get ARC breaks and present time problems good and restimulated, and go on and run this, "Go out of communication with God. Go out of communication with God." All of a sudden the fellow gets a starry-eyed look on his face; he actually could be walked right straight out and join a nunnery, or whatever it is they join. You got the idea?

In other words, you can take the whole track fixations of a person and restimulate them selectively and bring about momentary resurgences in certain goals directions. And you can do it. It can be done.

Scientology . . you can use it backwards and upside down and run it wrong and everything else, and you ctually won't commit much of a crime. But improper or incorrect or failure to disseminate Scientology adds up to one awful overt. Ask yourself for a moment, why? Well, if Scientology is abroad in a workable state, even though this fellow kicks the bucket, he'll be picked out of it someday.

All right. So this character gets loused up by processing, and next life, next life, next life, he has run on him, "You take this book on Suba-ooba-ooba, and you stand in the middle of the room, and you go around in circles, and then when you fall down you're Clear." It's no road out. And that's happened to Buddhism, Lamaism, the original Taoism. Happened to any development they've had here on Earth. Started out free . . by bad dissemination . . booby trap. See?

I imagine Christianity was all right sometime or another. I imagine it didn't have some of the intentions which it eventually expressed, such as Inquisition and burning people in East Grinstead, and a few other things. Oh, you didn't know there were people burned in East Grinstead?

They're lying right up here in the courtyard. You want to drop into the church cemetery there someday. You'll see them. They're buried right up on the High Street. I mean, they were burned on the High Street and buried eventually in consecrated ground. It was interesting. But what's most interesting about it is that it didn't sour people on it; it only soured people on a branch of it.

I would say, offhand, that it would be impossible to do very much for a psychotic without getting him to handle solid objects. I real – just impossible. I mean, we might read a lot of fancy things, we might think of a lot of fancy things, and so forth, but unless we actually did get him in contact, good thorough communication with a solid object, we would have left him in the position where he had to remain connected with a psychotic terminal. Some energy mass, some bank or another that has swept in on him or he's using as an old game. You know, psychosis is quite a game itself There is nothing like an eccentric behavior to command a great deal of scurry on the part of the environment.

We have this boy Hutson out here, psychosis is just a game to this boy. It's revenge. His mother, a Christian Scientist, laid into him on the subject of masturbation and invented all kinds of reasons why and had herself tell him, had other people tell him very convincingly, that if he continued with this practice that he would go insane. Now, it isn't then that masturbation would make anybody insane, but you could certainly convince somebody, couldn't you, who could then pick this up as a terminal exchange and in lack of any other game make a game out of craziness. You see? He could make a game out of this. How constrict and restrain.

Now, this boy started to come out of the soup the moment we started to run 8-C on him, just keeping you on a running report on an interesting preclear in the vicinity, started to run 8-C on him. By the way, his first contacts with the objects were like this. And then he would suddenly go over to something and grab hold of it and shake it in a rage. Then he'd relapse and would miss several auditing commands, just wouldn't do any of them, and then go like that, see? And then get mad at some other object. Then he started to come right on up the scale. You understand what he wouldn't do? He won't take his  attention off of that mass which is generating energy. See? He won't take his attention off of that mass until he's got something solid he can put his attention on, demonstrating another terminal. This psychotic terminal over here is a much better terminal than no terminal. And the solid object is the only thing it could
supplant.

This is a love-hate universe. What do you think a ridge is? A ridge basically is a symptom of anger, hate. If you really want to get somebody mired beautifully, get him to hate something and start cutting his communication lines on hate.

You'd say hate is unacceptable. No, it isn't. Christianity made it scarce. Those Christian cults which have best succeeded, however, and when it was really roaring across the countryside and hillsides through America, boy, you were supposed to get down there and really hate that devil. That devil was something that was a concrete thing. There was no doubt about that devil at all. In fact, he had far more importance than God or Christ. You had fellows like Billy Sunday, an ex-baseball player. He played to tremendous crowds, stadiums full of people. And he'd get up there and he'd start talking about "fighting the devil." He'd been a baseball player and chewed tobacco and had been wicked in all directions until all of a sudden he saw the light. And he used to get up on the stage and he'd roll off his coat and roll up his sleeves and stand there with a pugilist posture and dare the devil to come up on the stage and fight him, see. Very dramatic! And America bought this just like mad. Of course, this fellow was trying to be "Sunday." And you had him very successful at it.

So that Christianity and religion of that character actually only works on two emotions: hate and love. There isn't any in-between about it and you've got a love-hate universe going.

Now love, the way it's defined, is really not admiration. It's just a sort of a surrender.

There's too many gradients of it to just say love and then let it go. What do they mean by love? Well, you've got to love your neighbor. I never saw anybody jumping out of the front door of the house and rushing over, throwing his arms around old Mr. Jones or something like that; and yet they understand this, that people will tell you who never did that, that they love their neighbor. It's a sort of a flat, no-emotion proposition of "let's all lie down and die."

And you've got, then, the other condition: you've got to hate evil. Well, the whole tenet of resistance to evil is one to which I recommend you as an auditor for an investigation of what has happened to your preclear. The theory of resistance to evil. Denial of self and resistance to evil are two keynotes in understanding what goes on in a preclear.

People have made him resist evil. Now, you can see readily that if you have two objects and one object is made to fight the other object, the two are going to set up resistances to each other in terms of electronic flow, in terms of just mass against mass, in terms of heat, and so on. These things are going to hang up and neither one of them is going to go anyplace.

Keep that in mind, neither one of them is going to go anyplace. Resistance to evil is the way to make a man evil.

This explains to you the astonishing decays in the past of churches and their priests.

They will resist evil and resist evil and boy, they really get nice and evil. You can't have a pure line of communication which goes into an evil spot because at least that part of the communication line which is in the evil spot is going to become evil.

What is evil? Well, evil would just be anything you'd care to make it – just anything. There is no thing under this sun, under the sun anywhere, that you can set up and say, "That is evil."

And I guess you would get evil defined as something you didn't like. So, if you started resisting everything you didn't like, you wouldn't have anything you liked in a very, very short time.

The panacea for all ills in this universe is not love, but actually admiration. Admiration melts everything down. So, if they get you to resist evil, they're turning you away toward things you can't admire so you never have a chance to melt it down.

What's evil? It's what you don't like, that's what's evil. What's good? Well, it's that thing you like, that's what's good. Real easy.

What do you like? Well, you walk down the street here and you'll find one fellow would just love to run over little schoolchildren. Well, you'll find the society won't agree with him. He could just dote on the idea of the maimed and dying and the screams thereof. Well, the society wouldn't agree with him but as far as he's concerned that's "good."
