Refund and Reparation

You can alarm a medical doctor who doesn’t know Dianetics by bumping a preclear’s temperature up, giving him a fast pulse rate, or changing his health and apparent physiological age. Sometimes you go back down the track with somebody and knock out a bad holder or a valence shifter, then bring the person back up to present time and he will seem to be about ten years younger. It is quite variable.

So when you are dealing with Dianetics, you are really demonstrating things that look like straight black magic to somebody who doesn’t know what you are doing, because of course you are changing this person physiologically, and you are changing the tone scale of his reactive mind.
