Description

The processor who is looking at a psychotic is trying to understand an incomprehensible, and if we were to cease using the word "psychotic" and began using the word "incomprehensetic", we would have a word which would serve us extremely well.

The best way to handle a psychotic is with physical form, making the psychotic mimic the physical form by mimicking, with the physical form, the psychotic. Thus, we have our basic level of mimicry, and thus we have the entering edge of communication.

Let me give you a little example of this. This girl came in jabbering French, schoolbook French, just patterned French phrases like quoting from a grammar book with an occasional interjection of a French phrase which made sense, but most of it just out of a grammar book. And the moment she was answered in French, she just went into deaf and dumb talk. Why? Because it was a circuit. And what can't a circuit stand? It can't stand duplication. So therefore it is only one thing, and its only decision would then be to be more interesting and more unduplicatable. So the more you would validate a circuit or answer a circuit or try to duplicate a circuit or go into a two-way communication with a circuit, the less liable you are to have your person in communication with you.

You are trying to get into communication with the person, with the person, not with his machinery. And so the whole hub of the subject of mimicry has to be what you mimic; don't mimic circuits, mimic what is usual, mimic the real, mimic what is ordinary and routine amongst human beings, but don't mimic terrifically unusual manifestations. If you understand that, then mimicry will always work for you and you will never get these flukey ones whereby you did mimicry with this case and it didn't get any better. Mimic the ordinary, the routine, the real -- never the weird, bizarre, or strange.

Commands

There are no set commands. The processor mimics the psychotic with physical form. Don't mimic circuits, mimic what is usual, mimic the real, mimic what is ordinary and routine amongst human beings, but don't mimic terrifically unusual manifestations.

End Point

The person gotten into communication with the processor.

These objective assist processes are excerpted and compiled from the works of L. Ron Hubbard as part of a study of the Briefing Course materials. They are made available here for the purpose of discussion on spirit-l. Spirit-l is a list intended for the discussion of the philosophical underpinnings of clearing philosophies and methods. Frequent topics include self-betterment processes that can be done alone or in a coprocessing setting. There are "fair use" considerations as the works these quotations are taken from are copyrighted. The actual owner of the copyrights seems to be in question, but it most certainly is not I. Therefore, these fair use excerpts are available for Spirit-l list subscribers to prepare for, and participate in, the on-line discussion. It is also for others who, although unable to participate in the discussion of Hubbard's work at this time (perhaps lacking email access or available time), would like to prepare for such discussion on the above thread topics in the future. Just as one can copy a chapter out of a book to teach a class, and even a whole book using a chapter for each class, separate supplementary manuals will facilitate the different on-line discussion topics.
