Hubbard lectures on the capability of Scientologists to brainwash. Names his process for undoing brainwash. Accuses psychiatrists of (inferior) brainwashing.
No, there are methods of brainwashing people and you could do them right this minute. You can brainwash a man thoroughly in twenty seconds and the HGC could undo it in about an hour. And we could knock him down to being totally blank in a complete amnesia and then brightened right up and looking good. In other words, the Russian did accomplish something: He made us think. A brainwashing could be done but Russia does not know how to do it. There are records of brainwashing on the whole track but the only person that would be able to understand or do anything about it is a Scientologist and I never met a Scientologist who was so stupid as to brainwash anybody. All a psychiatrist is doing with psychiatric treatments is dramatizing later-day brainwashes. He isn't doing a good job of it; it's just a dramatization, not a treatment. I say that advisedly not to be wicked. I mean, that's a technical fact, because the second you try to put him in the patient valence, he goes mad—boom—as is learned by institutions. But the whole subject of brainwashing is too complicated or too simple for anybody to grasp. He'd have to know all about engrams.1 He'd have to know all about the electronic phenomena of the body and he'd have to be able to group2 the whole works suddenly and quickly so that it was indecipherable. You got it? But then, of course, an auditor could come along, run Over and Under3, which is the process that straightens it up, and the track would go back together again. Why brainwash anybody? He would benefit perhaps—he would probably be a little bit injured one way or the other because a sudden shock that way would probably upset him. But he would benefit to the degree of having enjoyed an auditor's company for an hour or two. I will tell you something dreadful. All this sizes up to is just one thing. It's a horrible fact, we might as well face it. It is all but impossible to make a mind worse! And almost anything sincerely done makes it better. But the only direction of change there is, is up as far as treatment is concerned. — L. Ron Hubbard Lecture 02 September 1956 Effectiveness of Brainwashing 1 ENGRAM, 1 . a mental image picture which is a recording of a time of physical pain and unconsciousness. It must by definition have impact or injury as part of its content. (HCOB 23 Apr 69) 2 . a specialized kind of facsimile. This differs from other mental pictures because it contains, as part of its content, unconsciousness and physical pain. (Dn 55 .1, p. 12) 3 . a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full unconsciousness. (Scn 0-8, p. 11) 4 . a theta facsimile of atoms and molecules in misalignment. (Scn 0-8, p. 81) 5 . a unit of force which is held in because one has chosen force itself for his randomity. (5312CM13) 6 . the word engram is an old one borrowed from biology. It means simply, “a lasting memory trace on a cell.” It may be engraved on more than the cell, but up against Dn processing, it is not very lasting. (SOS, p. 10) 7 . physical pain, enmest and entheta held at a specific point on the time track. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 25) 8 . a severe physical pain causes considerable analytical attenuation, shutting off the analyzer thoroughly for a period of time. This, technically, is an engram, although any incident, painful or not, contained in the reactive mind, and occluded by anaten can be considered an engram. (SOS, p. 80) 9 . a recording which has the sole purpose of steering the individual through supposed but usually nonexistent dangers. (SOS, p. 10) 1 0 . a severe area of plus or minus randomity of sufficient volume to cause unconsciousness. (Scn 0-8, p. 81) 1 1 . a moment when the analytical mind is shut down by physical pain, drugs or other means, and the reactive bank is open to the receipt of a recording. (DMSMH, p. 153) 1 2 . simply moments of physical pain strong enough to throw part or all the analytical machinery out of circuit; they are antagonism to the survival of the organism or pretended sympathy to the organism’s survival. That is the entire definition. Great or little unconsciousness, physical pain, perceptic content, and contra-survival or pro-survival data. (DMSMH, p. 68) 1 3 . not a sentient recording containing meanings. It is merely a series of impressions such as a needle might make on wax. These impressions are meaningless to the body until the engram keys-in, at which time aberrations and psychosomatics occur. (DMSMH, p. 131) 1 4 . a bundle of data which includes not only perceptics and speech present but also metering for emotion and state of physical being. (DMSMH, p. 245)1 5 . an apparent surcharge in the mental circuit with certain definite finite content. That charge is not reached or examined by the analytical mind but that charge is capable of acting as an independent command. (DTOT, p. 43) — L. Ron Hubbard Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary 2 group: See grouper GROUPER, 1 . species of command which, literally translated, means that all incidents are in one place on the time track: “I’m jammed up,” “Everything happens at once,” “Everything comes in on me at once,” “I’ll get even with you,” etc. (DMSMH, p. 213) 2 . anything which pulls the time track into a bunch at one or more points. When the grouper is gone the time track is perceived to be straight. (HCOB 15 May 63) 3 . is a number of incidents becoming located apparently in one time instant. (SH Spec 56, 6109C20) 4 . action phrase which would tend to bunch all incidents in one place, creates the illusion that the time track is collapsed and that all incidents are at the same point in time. Example: “Pull yourself together,” “It all happens at once.” (SOS, p. 103) — L. Ron Hubbard Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary 2 Over and Under Solids. Have him pick the center of his life, an engram in the middle of his life; the commands are before and after this point. "Get a facsimile [mental picture] of something after that." "Keep it from going away." "Leave it totally uncontrolled." "Get a facsimile of something before that." "Keep it from going away." "Leave it totally uncontrolled." or "Make it solid," "Let go of it." or "Make it solid," "Skip it." — L. Ron Hubbard HCO Training Bulletin 30 November 1956 SLP 8 © 1991 L. Ron Hubbard Library |
