The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists. It misuses the copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom. They think that all freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be stamped out as heretics. By their standards, all Christians, Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion. The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings of Judaism form the Old Testament of Christianity. We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against. But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews, the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old testament regardless of any Jewish opinion. We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists. We ask for others to help in our fight. Even if you do not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose to aid us for that reason.

One cannot as-is acts for which one is taking no responsibility, but for which one is really responsible. The reason one gets amnesia on his past lives or even denies their existence lies with responsibility. He or she is unwilling to take responsibility for having been this or that other identity. This keys in in present time and closes one down every time one stops taking responsibility for one's fellows. Fighting 'other identities' in present time one ceases to be responsible for other identities. Therefore those he has had in the past become 'other people' and one dramatizes his own past identities because he cannot take responsibility for them. When one falls away from responsibility on the various dynamics he can then become less and less able to influence those dynamics and therefore becomes a victim of them. One must have done to other dynamics those things which other dynamics now seem to have the power to do to him. Therefore one can be injured. One can lose control. One can become in fact a zero of influence and a vacuum for trouble. The way one becomes separate from others is by his own overt acts against them. These overt acts become withholds and the person then individuates very strongly. You have seen this happening in auditing. The more overt acts the Auditor pulls on the pc the less willing the Auditor is to audit that pc. Further, the more overt acts the pc pulls on the Auditor the less willing he is to stay in session. It only looks as though cause and effect is at work. Actually all life consists of opposed causes where it is aberrated The way a person blows out of session or blows out of an organization or blows out of Scientology is a simple one. He withholds information and hides his overts. After a while he blows himself off. Show me a pc blowing session and I will show you a pc who has not levelled with his auditor and who is guilty of undeclared overts against the dynamics and the auditor. Show me a staff member who is blowing the Organization and I will show you a staff member who is guilty of undeclared overts against the Organization. It is fatal to audit anyone unless full two-way comm is established between the Auditor and the pc. A person who goes on being audited without asserting his responsibility for what he has done is a person who will make no auditing gains or whose auditing gains will slump. As most of the human race has undeclared overts this fact alone assumes gigantic proportions in forwarding Scientology and for that reason alone we will have to give it a lion's share of attention from here on out. Of course you will see that many people at first will not come near us for fear of what we will find out. But as this is better understood you will find that the people who come to us will come with a willingness to bare their guilt to us and get it sorted out. As this is SO much the case we must then therefore have amongst us none with undeclared overts against the dynamics which would prevent their getting gains in processing or who would render a person's confidences liable to use for less pure purposes. Along with this technical discovery then goes the administrative must that our noses must be clean and our hearts cleared. Our strength will be the strength of a billion if we have nothing to hide. This may or may not be popular. I don't care about that. It is effective. I do care about that. And remember that whenever a person discloses to view discreditable overts and withholds we must run what part of that act or incident could you be responsible for. You're going to see more case gains than you've ever seen before- providing you have the stamina to get over this first hump. So here we change from irresponsible to responsible, from guilt to strength and all in the twinkling of an eye. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:js.rd Copyright ($) 1960 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED HCO 8 23 December AD 9 - Page 2 ===================== 011 HCOB 21 Jan 1960 Justification HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO BULLETIN OF 21 JANUARY AD1O Fran Hldrs HCO Secs Assn Secs HCO & HASI Staffs JUSTIFICATION When a person has committed an overt act and then withholds it, he or she usually employs the social mechanism of justification. We have all heard people attempt to justify their actions and all of us have known instinctively that justification was tantamount to a confession of guilt. But not until now have we understood the exact mechanism behind justification. Short of Scientology Auditing there was no means by which a person could relieve himself of consciousness of having done an overt act except to try to lessen the overt. Some churches used a mechanism of confession. This was a limited effort to relieve a person of the pressure of his overt acts. Later the mechanism of confession was employed as a kind of blackmail by which increased contribution could be obtained from the person confessing. Factually this is a limited mechanism to such an extent that it can be extremely dangerous. Religious confession does not carry with it any real stress of responsibility for the individual but on the contrary seeks to lay responsibility at the door of the Divinity-a sort of blasphemy in itself. I have no axe to grind here with religion. Religion as religion is fairly natural. But psycho-therapy must be in itself a completed fact or, as we all know, it can become a dangerous fact. That's why we flatten engrams and processes. Confession to be non-dangerous and effective must be accompanied by a full acceptance of responsibility. All overt acts are the product of irresponsibility on one or more of the dynamics. Withholds are a sort of overt act in themselves but have a different source. Oddly enough we have just proven conclusively that man is basically good-a fact which flies in the teeth of old religious beliefs that man is basically evil. Man is good to such an extent that when he realizes he is being very dangerous and in error he seeks to minimize his power and if that doesn't work and he still finds himself committing overt acts he then seeks to dispose of himself either by leaving or by getting caught and executed. Without this computation Police would be powerless to detect crime-the criminal always assists himself to be caught. Why Police punish the caught criminal is the mystery. The caught criminal wants to be rendered less harmful to the society and wants rehabilitation. Well, if this is true then why does he not unburden himself'? The fact is this: unburdening is considered by him to be an overt act. People withhold overt acts because they conceive that telling them would be another overt act. It is as though Thetans are trying to absorb and hold out of sight all the evil of the world. This is wrong-headed, by withholding overt acts these are kept afloat in the universe and are themselves as withholds entirely the cause of continued evil. Man is basically good but he could not attain expression of this until now. Nobody but the individual could die for his own sins-to arrange things otherwise was to keep man in chains. In view of these mechanisms, when the burden became too great man was driven to another mechanism-the effort to lessen the size and pressure of the overt. He or she could only do this by attempting to reduce the size and repute of the terminal. Hence, not-isness. Hence when a man or a woman has done an overt act there usually follows an effort to reduce the goodness or importance of the target of the overt. Hence the husband who betrays his wife must then state that the wife was no good in some way. Thus the wife who betrayed her husband had to reduce the husband to reduce the overt. This works on all dynamics. In this light most criticism is justification of having done an overt. This does not say that all things are right and that no criticism anywhere is ever merited. Man is not happy. He is faced with total destruction unless we toughen up our postulates. And the overt act mechanism is simply a sordid game condition man has slipped into without knowing where he was going. So there are rightnesses and wrongnesses in conduct and society and life at large, but random, carping I. I criticism when not born out in fact is only an effort to reduce the size of the target of the overt so that one can live (he hopes) with the overt. Of course to criticise unjustly and lower repute is itself an overt act and so this mechanism is not in fact workable. Here we have the source of the dwindling spiral. One commits overt acts unwittingly. He seeks to justify them by finding fault or displacing blame. This leads him into further overts against the same terminals which leads to a degradation of himself and sometimes those terminals. Scientologists have been completely right in objecting to the idea of punishment. Punishment is just another worsening of the overt sequence and degrades the punisher. But people who are guilty of overts demand punishment. They use it to help restrain themselves from (they hope) further violation of the dynamics. It is the victim who demands punishment and it is a wrong-headed society that awards it. People get right down and beg to be executed. And when you don't oblige, the woman scorned is sweet tempered by comparison. I ought to know-I have more people try to elect me an executioner than you would care to imagine. And many a preclear who sits down in your pc chair for a session is there just to be executed and when you insist on making such a pc better, why you've had it, for they start on this desire for execution as a new overt chain and seek to justify it by telling people you're a bad auditor. When you hear scathing and brutal criticism of some one which sounds just a bit strained, know that you have your eye on overts against that criticised person and next chance you get pull the overts and remove just that much evil from the world. And remember, by and by, that if you make your pc write these overts and withholds down and sign them and send them off to me he'll be less reluctant to hold on to the shreds of them-it makes for a further blow of overts and less blow of pc. And always run responsibility on a pc when he unloads a lot of overts or just one. We have our hands here on the mechanism that makes this a crazy universe so let's go for broke on it and play it all the way out. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:js.cden Copyright ($) 1960 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ===================== 012 HCOB 31 Mar 1960 The Present Time Problem HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO BULLETIN OF 31 MARCH 1960 Fran Holders THE PRESENT TIME PROBLEM Everybody has present time problems at times. They come up unexpectedly. They happen, between intensives. They pop up between sessions. They, indeed, occur within sessions. And the Auditor who neglects to handle them when they arise will get little auditing done. It's the present time problem that sticks the graph, makes it register no change, it's ARC breaks that drop one). What is a "PTP", as the auditors write it in their reports? It is basically the inability to confront the dual terminal nature of this universe. It is an inability to span attention and denotes that the pc who is having lots of PTPs has his attention very fixed on something. The definition of a problem is intention v intention or "two or more opposing and conflicting views on the same subject". If the pc has problems with wife or husband, we can be sure that they have divergent views on some basic thing in life. Thus the auditor who has a pc who always has PTPs with one, the same, person, had better run 0/W (overt-withhold) on that terminal in a specific form (George) and then responsibility on the general form (a husband). Thus a PTP is as good as an assessment. Find what terminals the pc has PTPs about and handle that terminal as above. Indeed this is more than a trick-it's a great time-saver. One can waste hours on a pc who repeatedly comes up with a PTP on the same person. But that person in the PTP is often the current clue to the case. "Grace the wife" leads to "a wife" leads to "a woman". Present Time problems are not always concerned with the world outside auditing. Auditors can be a PTP to the pc, especially when the pc has big withholds! PROCESSES ON PTPs Present time problem processes are many. The earliest was two way comm. A later one was "Invent a problem of comparable magnitude to " But this one of course is a create type process and is therefore very limited. Still another process was "Tell me your problem" "How does it seem to you now". This almost runs the whole case. A recent one that has workability is "What problem could you confront?" This finds out for the pc that he can't confront a problem at first without doing something about it. That isn't confronting the problem. This is an amusing, effective and educative process. Problems tend to snap in on the pc. The mechanism here is that he cannot confront them so, of course, they snap in upon him. When he invents a few the first problem he had visibly moves away from him. This last is now a demonstration, not a process because of the create factor. The fastest current process is "Tell me your problem" "What part of that problem have you been responsible for?" This is an alternative question process. You will find the problem changes and changes. It runs the whole case. A general process on problems, which is a very healthy process, is "What problem have you been (or might you have been) responsible for?" The easiest process on problems to run, if slower is, "Tell me your problem" "What part of that problem could you confront?" CONFUSION AND THE STABLE DATUM Problems are nasty case stickers because in a problem one has an old solution causing new problems. This is the principle of confusion and the stable datum. The confusion (two or more opposed views or actions) stays in position because it is hung on a single fixed point. If you want to see a pc go into confusion ask him what solution he could confront. (This is not a good process, it's a demonstration.) A preclear is sometimes chary of motion in the bank. He seizes upon fixed particles to avoid moving particles. A very top scale process that does some fabulous things to a pc also illustrates this: "What motion have you been responsible for?" This truly sets a bank whizzing, particularly black cases or stuck picture cases. Running this, it is possible to discharge pc liability to problems. THE DUAL UNIVERSE The basic unit of this universe is two not one. The less a pc can confront two things, the more he fixes on one. This is the highly individual person, also the self-auditing case. This is probably the basic trap of a thetan. He is a single unit that has not cared to confront dual units and is therefore subject to the persistence of all dual things. As he does not seem to care as much for two as he does for one that which is not admired tends to persist and we have a persisting dual universe. Also, when he is with somebody else, he tends to confront the other person but not to confront himself. "What about you could you confront?" is a murderous process. It is all right to run. It picks up the times when his attention was off self and yet self was creating. This is the genus of a reactive bank. It is probably what pain is. However, a better and more spectacular process that demonstrates this and gets to the heart of problems is "What two things can you confront?" This increases ability and reduces one's liability to problems. I suppose one could go gradiently up in number and have at last a pc that could tolerate any motion or number. It is quantity not quality which makes a bank. Thus running significances is of little worth. A thetan gets ideas of too many and too few. He cannot have, at length, anything that becomes too scarce-one of the old important rules of havingness given in "Scientology 8-8008". OUT OF SESSION A pc is in session when (a) he is willing to talk to the auditor and (b) he is interested in his own case. The primary violation of part (a) is overts and withholds-the pc is afraid to talk or talks to cover up. The second violation (b) occurs when the pc's attention is "over there" in present time, fixed on some concern that is "right now" somewhere in the physical universe. Technically a present time problem is a special problem that exists in the physical universe now on which the PC has his attention fixed. This violates the "in sessions", rule part (b). The pc's attention is "over there" not on his case. If the auditor overlooks or doesn't run the PTP then the pc is never in session, grows agitated, ARC breaks, etc. And no gains are made because the pc is not in session. Hence the unchanged graph when the pc has a PIP that is overlooked or not properly handled. PTPs are easy to handle. If you, the auditor become impatient at having to "waste time" handling a PTP or if the pc considers it a waste of time to handle it, a mistake is being made. So long as a PTP falls on a meter even slightly, it had better be handled until it no longer falls when checked. If the same type of PTP keeps coming up, use it as a case assessment and run it out-out-out as given above, using 0/W and responsibility. And if the pc always has problems, better note he also has motionless pictures, is only-one and self-audits heavily and get him used to motion and two particles as given in processes above and he'll be a better case very soon indeed.

RON HUBBARD LRH:js.cden Copyright ($) 1960 by L Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ===================== 013 HCOB 5 Oct 1961 Clean Hands Make a Happy Life HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO BULLETIN OF 5 OCTOBER 1961 Franchise CLEAN HANDS MAKE A HAPPY LIFE For the first time in the soggy stream that's history to the human race, it's possible that happiness exists. This goal, repeated many times and sought so heavily, has been ungraspable as sun motes, unattainable as a loved one's sigh. What makes Mankind, basically good beings all, such strangers far to happiness. The rich man geysers out his wealth. The poor man peers in every crack. But wealth buys nought and crevices are bare. The child hopes he will realize it when grown and grown, wishes he were happy as a child. We grasp it but like gossamer, it's nought. We marry a most perfect girl or man and then throughout our lives weep to make the other make us glad. Often sought. but seldom found, there are no riches, gems or palaces as valued as mere happiness. But listen! Here is happiness, just at our finger tips. awaiting only magic word "Start Session" to begin its quest. But like we walk through rain toward a banquet ball, our happiness in proeessing is gained by passing through the phantom shadows of our "sins". What has made all Man a pauper in his happiness? Transgressions against the mores of his race, his group, his family! We care but little what these mores were or are. It was transgression did the trick We agree to fixed moralities and then, unthinking, we transgress. or with "good cause" offend, and there we are, the first dull bars of misery draw stealthily behind us. And as we wander on, transgressing more. agreeing to new mores and then transgressing those, we conic into that sunless place, the prison of our tears and sighs and might-have-beens, unhappiness. --------- Mutual action is the key to all our overt acts. Agreement to what ought to be and then a shattering of the troth works all the spell that's needed for a recipe of misery. There must be pain. So we agreed. For pain restrains and warns, shuts off. forbids. But goodness now must then consist of bringing in no pain. Mutual motion is agreed. And then we disagree and part and so are tied no more-tied not save back there in our minds, with scars of broken faith. The faith we broke, and said it had to be. We all agree to feel the sun and then protest it burns. We all agree to kiss and love and then are startled that such pain can follow in that wake. Mutual motion is all right--until we act in cruelty to the rest. Tied by agreements and co-actions, we dare be cruet to that to which the hard steel clasps of promises have bound us. HCOB 5 Oct 61 - 2 - And so in being cruel to part of self-extended self as in a couple or a group-we then find pain in self with great surprise. The overt act sequence is simple now to grasp. The scope is limited. But it began when we first had a cruel impulse to others bound to us by mores or co- acts. Why does one suffer pain in his own arm when he or she has struck another's limb? Because the cruel impulse has been a break of bond with others where pledge once lived. The only overt act that can bring pain to self is that cruel act which then transgresses things to which we had agreed. Share action with a group or person in your life, agree to mutually survive by some specific code and then be cruel to them and so transgress and you'll have pain. ---------- All Mankind lives and each man strives by codes of conduct mutually agreed. Perhaps these codes arc good, perhaps they're bad, it's only evident they're codes. Mores bind the race. Co-action then occurs. Thought and motion in accord. A oneness then of purpose and survival so results. But now against that code there is transgression. And so because the code was held, whatever code it was, and Man sought comfort in Man's company, he held back his deed and so entered then the bourne in which no being laughs or has a freedom in his heart. So down the curtains come across the brightness of the day and dull-faced clouds enmist all pleasant circumstance. For one has evilly transgressed and may not speak of it for fear all happiness will die. And so we shut ourselves from off the light and enter grey-faced gloom. And seal within our deepest vault the reasons why we dare not face our friends. And afterwards we go on making others guilty with the rest, when like some scrawny scarecrow of a priest whose tattered filthy robes are rough with sacrificial blood, we point the way to hell for those who kill. And deep within us secret gnawings ache. And then at last we cannot even cry. ---------- The road to hell--Man's very good at painting ugly signs that point its course and way. The road to heaven--Man's often sent but never yet arrived more like he found the "other place". But now a road that's wide has opened up -in Scientology. The meter and the process check, when done by auditors with skill, can open up transgression's rush and loose a cascade out until hell's spent. And day will once more have a drop of dew upon the morning rose. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:jl.vmm.rd Copyright ($) 1961 by L.

Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 APRIL l965 Gen Non Remimeo HCO Sec Hat HCO JUSTICE DATA RE ACADEMY & HGC Tech Sec Hat D of P Hat HANDLING THE SUPPRESSIVE. PERSON D of T Hat THE BASIS OF INSANITY The suppressive person (whom we've called a merchant of Fear or Chaos Merchant and which we can now technically call the suppressive person) can't stand the idea if Scientology. If people become better, the suppressive person would have lost. The suppressive person answers this by attacking covertly or overtly Scientology. This thing is, he thinks, his mortal enemy since it undoes his (or her) "good work" in putting people down where they should be. There are three "operations" such a case seeks to engage upon regarding Scientology: (a) to disperse it, (b) to try to crush it and (c) to pretend it didn't exist. Dispersal would consist of several things such as attributing its source to others and altering its processes or structure. If you feel a bit dispersed reading this Policy Letter, then realize it is about a being whose whole "protective colouration" is to disperse others and so remain invisible. Such people generalize all entheta and create ARC Breaks madly. The second (b) Is done by covert or overt means. Covertly a suppressive person leaves the org door unlocked, loses the E-Meters, runs up fantastic bills, and energetically and unseen seeks to pull out the plug and get Scientology poured down the drain. We, poor fools, consider all this just "human error" or "stupidity". We rarely realize that such actions, far from being accidents, are carefully thought out. The proof that this is so is simple. If we run down the source of these errors we wind up with only one or two people in the whole group. Now isn't it odd that the majority of errors that kept the group enturbulated were attributable to a minority of persons present? Even a very "reasonable" person could not make anything else out of that except that it was very odd and indicated that the minority mentioned were interested in smashing the group and that the behaviour was not common to the whole group-- meaning it isn't "normal" behaviour. These people aren't Communists or Fascists or any other ists. They are just very sick people. They easily become parts of suppressive groups such as Communists or Fascists because these groups, like criminals, are suppressive. The Suppressive Person is hard to spot because of the dispersal factor mentioned above. One looks at them and has his, attention dispersed by their "everybody is bad". The Suppressive Person who is visibly seeking to knock out people or Scientology is easy to see. He or she is making such a fuss about it. The attacks are quite vicious and full of lies. But even here when the Suppressive Person exists on the "other side" of a potential trouble source, visibility is not good. one sees a case going up and down. On the other side of that case, out of the auditor's view, is the Suppressive Person. The whole trick they use is to generalize entheta. "Everybody is bad " "the Russians are all had." "Everybody hates you." "The People versus John Doe" on warrants. "The masses." "The Secret Police will get you." Suppressive groups use the ARC Break mechanisms of generalizing entheta so it seems "everywhere". The Suppressive Person is a specialist in making others ARC Break with generalized entheta that is mostly lies. He or she is also a no-gain-case. So avid are such for the smashing of others by covert or overt means that their case is bogged and won't move under routine processing HCO PL 4.5.65 - 2 - The technical fact is that they have a huge problem, long gone and no longer known even to themselves which they use hidden or forthright vicious acts continually to handle. They do not act to solve the environment they are in they are solving one environment, yesterday's, in which they are stuck. The only reason the insane were hard to understand is that they are handling situations which no longer exist The situation probably existed at one time. They think they have to hold their own, with overts against a non-existent enemy to solve a non-existent problem. Because their overts are continuous they have withholds. Since such a person has withholds, he or she can't communicate freely to as-is the block on the track that keeps them in some yesterday. Hence, a "no- case-gain. That alone is the way to locate a Suppressive Person. By viewing the case. Never judge a person by their conduct. That is too difficult. Judge by no-case- gains. Don't even use tests. One asks these questions: 1. Will the person permit auditing at all? or 2. Does their history of routine auditing reveal any gains? If (1) is present one is safe to treat the person as suppressive. It is not always correct but it is always safe. Some errors will be made but it is better to make them than to take a chance on it. When people refuse auditing they are (a) a potential trouble source (connected to a Suppressive Person); (b) a person with a big discreditable withhold; (c) a Suppressive Person or (d) have had the had luck to be "audited" too often by a Suppressive Person or (e) have been audited by an untrained auditor or one "trained" by a Suppressive Person. [The last category (e) (untrained auditor) is rather slight but (d) (audited by a Suppressive Person) can have been pretty serious, resulting in continual ARC Breaks during which auditing was pressed on without regard to the ARC Break.] Thus there are several possibilities where somebody refuses auditing. One has to sort them out in an HGC and handle the right one. But HCO by policy simply treats the person with the same admin policy procedure as that used on a Suppressive Person and lets HGC sort it out. Get that difference-it's "with the same admin policy procedure as" not "the same as". For treating a person "the same as" a Suppressive Person when he or she is not only adds to the confusion. One treats a real Suppressive Person pretty rough. One has to handle the hank. As to (2) here is the real test and the only valid test: Does their history of routine auditing reveal any gains? If the answer is NO then there is your Suppressive Person, loud and very unclear. That is the test. There are several ways of detecting. When fair auditors or good ones have had to vary routine procedure or do unusual things on this case in an effort to make it gain, when there are lots of notes from Ds of P in the folder saying do this-do that-you know that this case was trouble. This means it was one of three things: 1. a potential trouble source 2. a person with a big withhold 3. a Suppressive Person. If despite all that trouble and care, the case did not gain-or if the case simply didn't gain despite auditing no matter how many years or intensives, then you've caught your Suppressive Person. That's the boy. Or the girl. This case performs continual calculating covert hostile acts damaging to others. This case puts the enturbulence and unset Into the environment, breaks the chairs, HCO PL 5 Apr 65 - 3 - messes up the rugs and spoils the traffic flow with "goofs" done intentionally. One should lock criminals out of the environment if one wants security. But one first has to locate the criminal. Don't lock everybody out because you can't find the criminal. The cyclic case (gains and collapses routinely) is connected to a Suppressive Person. We have policy on that. The case that continually pleads "hold my hand I am so ARC broken" is just somebody with a big withhold, not an ARC Break. The Suppressive Person just gets no-case-gain on routine student auditing. This person is actively suppressing Scientology. If such will sit still and pretend to he audited the suppression is by hidden hostile acts which includes 1. Chopping up auditors: 2. Pretending withholds which are actually criticisms; 3. Giving out "data" about their past lives and/or whole track that really holds such subjects up to scorn and makes people who do remember wince. 4. Chopping up orgs; 5. Alter-ising technology to mess it up; 6. Spreading rumours about prominent persons in Scientology: 7. Attributing Scientology to other sources; 8. Criticizing auditors as a group; 9. Rolling up Dev-T, off policy, of origin, off line; 1O. Giving fragmentary or generalized reports about entheta that cave people in-and isn't actual; 11. Refusing to repair ARC Breaks; 12. Engaging in discreditable sexual acts (also true of potential trouble sources); 13. Reporting a session good when the pc went bad; 14. Reporting a session bad when the pc went up in tone; 15. Snapping terminals with lecturers and executives to make critical remarks or spread ARC Break type "news" to them; 16. Failing to relay comm or report; 17. Making an org go to pieces (note one uses "making" not "letting"); 18. Committing small criminal acts around the org; 19. Making "mistakes" which get their seniors in trouble; 20. Refusing to abide by policy; 21. Non-compliance with instructions; 22. Alter-is of instructions or orders so that the programme fouls up: 23. Hiding data that is vital to prevent upsets: 24. Altering orders to make a senior look bad; 25. Organizing revolts or mass protest meetings; 26. Snarling about Justice. And so on. One does not use the catalogue, however, one only uses this one fact-no case gain by routine auditing over a longish period. This is the fellow that makes life miserable for the rest of us. This is the one who overworks executives. This is the auditor killer. This is the course enturbulalor or pc killer. There's the cancer. Burn it out. ---------- In short, you begin to see that it's this one who is the only one makes harsh discipline seem necessary. The rest of the staff suffers when one or two of these is present. 5 Apr 65 - 4 - One hears a whine about "process didn't work" or sees an alter-is of tech. Go look. You'll find it now and then leads to a Suppressive Person inside or outside of the org. Now that one knows who it is, one can handle it. But more than that, I can now crack this case! The technology is useful in all cases, of course. But only this cracks the "no-gain-case". The person is in a mad, howling situation of some yesteryear and is "handling it" by committing overt acts today. I say condition of yesteryear but the case thinks it's today. Yes, you're right. They are nuts. The spin bins are full of either them or their victims. There's no other real psycho in a spin bin! What? That means we've cracked insanity itself? That's right. And it's given us the key to the Suppressive Person and his or her effect on the environment. This is the multitude of "types" of insanity of the 19th century psychiatrist. All in one. Schizophrenia, paranoia, fancy names galore. Only one other type exists-the person the Suppressive Person got "at". This is the "manic-depressive" a type who is up one day and down the next. This is the Potential Trouble Source gone mad. But these are in a minority in the spin bin, usually put there by Suppressive Persons and not crazy at all! The real mad ones are the Suppressive Persons. They are the only psychos. Over simplification? No indeed. I can prove it! We could empty the spin bins now if we want to. But we have better uses for technology than saving a lot of Suppressive Persons who themselves act only to scuttle the rest of us. You see, when they get down to no-case-gain where a routine process won't bite, they can no longer as-is their daily life so it all starts to stack up into a horror. They "solve" this horror by continuous covert acts against their surroundings and associates. After a while the covert ones don't seem to hold off the fancied "horror" and they commit some senseless violence in broad daylight--or collapse--and so they can get identified as insane and are lugged off to the spin bin. Anybody can "get mad" and bust a few chairs when a Suppressive Person goes too far. But there's traceable sense to it. Getting mad doesn't make a madman. It's damaging actions that have no sensible detectable reasons that's the trail of madness. Any thetan can get angry. Only a madman damages without reason. All actions have their lower scale discreditable mockery. The difference is, does one get over his anger? The no-case-gain of course can't. He or she stays misemotional and adds each new burst to the fire. It never gets less. It grows. And a long way from all Suppressive Persons are violent. They are more likely to look resentful. A Suppressive Person can get to one solid dispassionate state of damaging things. Here is the accident prone, the home wrecker, the group wrecker. Now here one must realize something. The Suppressive Person Finds outlet for his or her unexpressed rage by carefully needling those they are connected with into howling anger. You see the people around them get dragged into this long gone incident by mistaken identity. And it is a maddening situation to be continually mis- identified, accused, worked on, double crossed. For one is not the being the Suppressive Person supposes. The Suppressive Person's world is pretty hard to live around. And even ordinarily cheerful people often blow up under the strain. So be careful who you call the Suppressive Person. The person connected with Suppressive Person is liable to he only visible rage in sight! You have some experience of this-the mousey little woman who rarely changes expression and is so righteous connected to somebody who now arid then goes into a frenzy. HCO PL 5 Apr 65 - 5 - How to tell them apart? Easy! Just ask this question:-Which gets a case gain easily? Well, it's even simpler than that! Put the two on an E-Meter. Don't do anything but read the dial and needle. The Suppressive one has the high stuck T.A. The other has a lower T.A. Simple? Not all Suppressive Persons have high T.A. The T.A. can be anywhere especially very low (1 .0). But the needle is weird. It is stuck tight or it RSes without reason (the pc wearing no rings to cause an RS). Suppressive Persons also can have the "dead" thetan clear read! You see people around a Suppressive Person Q and A and disperse. They seek to "get even" with the Suppressive Person and often exhibit the same symptoms temporarily. Sometimes two Suppressive Persons are found together. So one can't always say which is the Suppressive Person in a pair. The usual combination is the Suppressive Person and the Potential Trouble Source. However you don't need to guess about it or observe their conduct. For this poor soul can no longer as-is easily. Too many overts. Too many withholds. Stuck in an incident that they call "present time". Handling a problem that does not exist. Supposing those around are the personnel in their own delirium. They look all right. They sound reasonable. They are often clever. But they are solid poison. They can't as-is anything. Day by day their pile grows. Day by day their new overts and withholds pin them down tighter. They aren't here. But they sure can wreck the place. There is the true psycho. And he or she is dying before your very eyes. Kind of horrible. The resolution of the case is a clever application of problems processes, never o What was the condition? How did you handle it? is the key type of process. I don't know what the percentage of these are in a society. I know only that they made up about 10% of any group so far observed. The data is obscured by the fact that they ARC Break others and make them misemotional--thus one of them seems to be. by contagion, half a dozen such. Therefore simple inspection of conduct does not reveal the Suppressive Person. Only a case folder puts the seal on it. No-Case-Gain by routine processes. However this test too may soon become untrustworthy for now we can crack them by a special approach. However we will also generally use the same approach on routine cases as it makes cases go upward fast and we may catch the Suppressive Person accidentally and cure him or her before we are aware of it. And that would be wonderful. But still we'll have such on our lines in Justice matters from now on. So it's good to know all about them, how they are identified, how to handle. HCO must handle such cases as per the HCO Justice Codes on Suppressive Acts when they blow Scientology or seek to suppress Scientologists or orgs. One should study up on these. The Academy should be careful of this and report them to HCO promptly (as they would potential trouble sources or withholds that won't be delivered). The Academy must not fool about with Suppressive Persons. It's a sure way to deteriorate a course and cave in students. HCO PL 5 Apr 65 - 6 - POLICY When an Academy finds it has a Potential Trouble Source, a "withholdy case that ARC Breaks easily" or a Suppressive Person enrolled on a course or a blow the Academy must call for HCO Department of Inspection & Reports. Justice section. This can he any HCO personnel available, even the HCO Sec. The HCO representative must wear some readily identified HCO symbol and must take a report sheet with a carbon copy on a clip board. HCO must have present other staff adequate to handle possible physical violence. The student, if still present, must be taken to a place where an interview will not stop or enturbulate a class, by Tech Division personnel. This can he any Tech Division office, empty auditing room or empty classroom. The point us to localize the commotion and not stir up the whole Tech Division. If Tech Division personnel is not available HCO ran recruit "other staff" anywhere by simply saying "HCO requires you" and taking them into the interview place. HCO has a report sheet for such matters, original and one copy for Justice files. The HCO representative calls for the student's folder and looks it over quickly for TA action. If there is none (less than 10 divs/sess) that's it. It is marked on the report sheet, "No TA actions in auditing" or "Little TA". HCO is not interested in what processes were run. Or why there is no TA. If the course requires no meters the folder is inspected for alter-is (which denotes a rough pc) or no case changes. If there are no TA notations in the folder HCO should put the person on a meter, making sure the person is not wearing a ring. One asks no questions, merely reads the TA position and notes the needle and marks these in the report sheet. The Tone Arm will he very high (5 or above) or very low (2 or less) or dead thetan (2 or 3) and the needle would be an occasional RS or stuck or sticky if the person is a Suppressive Person. This is noted in the report sheet. If the folder or the student in question says he has had no case gain this is again confirming of a Suppressive Person. If two of these three points (folder, meter, statement) indicate a Suppressive Person, HCO is looking for two possible students when so called in the one who caused the upset and that student's coach or student's auditor. There very likely may be a Suppressive Person on the course that is not this student. Therefore one looks for that one too. the second one. If a bit of questioning seems to reveal that the student's auditor was responsible, test that student too, and enter it on a second HCO report form and order the other one to auditing at the student's own expense. In snort be alert. There's been an upset. There may be other persons about who caused it. Don't just concentrate on the student. There is a condition on the course that causes upsets. That is really' all one knows. When one walks in on it. Find out why and what. If the HCO tests indicate some doubt about either student being a Suppressive Person, HCO asks about a possible withhold and enters any result on the sheet and sends the students and sheet separately to the Tech Division, Dept of Estimation. The procedure is the same for a Suppressive Person but is "a withholdy pc who ARC Breaks easily" or simply "a withholdy PC" if no ARC Breaks are noted. "Auditing recommended". But there is a third category for which HCO is very alert in this interview. And that is the POTENTIAL TROUBLE SOURCE. For this person may only be audited further if he or she disconnects or handles the Suppressive Person or group to which he or she is connected and can't be sent t the HGC or back to the course either until the status is cleared up. HCO PL 5 Apr 65 - 7 - If this seems the case, there is no point in continuing the person in Tech Division and HCO takes over fully, applying the policy related to Potential Trouble Sources. This type of case will probably not he dangerous but quite co-operative, and is probably dazed by having to do something about his situation. He or she has been hammered with invalidation by a Suppressive Person and may he rather wobbly but if the Justice steps are taken exactly on policy there should be no trouble. HCO can take a Potential Trouble Source (but never a Suppressive Person) out of the Tech Division premises and hack to HCO to complete such briefing. Remember, it is all one to us if the Potential Trouble Source handles it or not. Until it's handled or disconnected we don't want it around as it's just more trouble and the person will cave in if audited under those conditions (connected to a Suppressive Person or group). A Suppressive Person found in an Academy is ordered to HGC processing always. And always at his or her own expense. If the Suppressive Person won't buy auditing, or co-operate. HCO follows steps A to E in policy on Suppressive Persons in the Justice Codes, HCO may he assisted in this by Tech personnel. The point is, the situation must be handled fully there and then. The student buys his auditing or gets A to E. There is no "We'll put you on probation in the course and if..." because I've not found it to work. Auditing or Suppressive Person A to E. Or both. THE BLOWN STUDENT The student however may have blown off the premises or he has gone entirely. On a minor, momentary blow, where all it took was the student's auditor and a few words to get the student back, the matter is not a real blow. But where the student leaves the premises in a blow or doesn't turn up for class, the Tech Division must send an Instructor and the student's auditor over to the HCO Department of Inspection and Reports. An HCO representative should go with them at once to pick up the student. The student is brought back with as little public commotion as possible and the procedure of HCO checkout, etc. is followed as above. THE GONE STUDENT Where the student can't be gotten back (or in all such cases) the real cause may be a Suppressive Person in the Course itself, not the blown student or the upset student If the Suppressive Person is on the course (and is not the blown student) HCO will want to know this. In all such eases the one who caused the environment may not be the culprit. The HCO representative calls for the blown student's case folder and looks for TA. If there is none or for some reason the student wasn't audited, or if no meters were used on that course, HCO seeks to find out what the case's responses were to processing. if the case seemed to change or improve yet the student is gone, HCO looks over the blown student's ex-auditor for suppressive characteristics such as satisfaction the pc blew, critical statements about tech or instructors, case rough or difficult, lies about the circumstances, etc. and if such signs are present, HCO orders the blown student's ex-auditor to the HGC at the student's own expense. If this interview with the blown Students auditor seems to indicate a Suppressive Person beyond any doubt HCO orders the student to the HGC at the student's own expense. The blown student's course auditor will not he found usually to be a Potential Trouble Source as these are seldom bad or rough auditors, so questions about this possibility don't really apply. HCO PL 5 Apr 65 - 8 - But if this student (the blown student's auditor) is Suppressive, it's HGC or A to E. If the student gives on A to E he or she may be returned to course or to the HGC as HCO deems best. ---------- In all such cases where a Suppressive Person is found, watch out for legal repercussions by having reliable witnesses present during such negotiations or upsets and take liberal notes for possible Comm Ev. This is why there also must be an HCO representative handling it. If there is no agreement to be audited and the student who is found to be a Suppressive Person will not respond to A to E (because student has blown and can't be found or because the student flatly refuses), the student is considered terminated. A waiver or quit claim is given or sent the student stating: Date Place I having refused to abide by the Codes of (name and place of org) do hereby waive any further rights I may have as a Scientologist and in return for my course fee of I do hereby quit any claim I may have on (name or org) or any Scientologist personnel or any person or group or organization of Scientology. Signed 2 Witnesses Only when this is signed the student may have his course fee returned, but no other fees as he accepted that service. The ex-student should realize this makes him Fair Game and outside our Justice Codes. He may not have recourse of any kind beyond refund. And after signing can only return to Scientology as per policy on Fair Game. The HGC audits such a Suppressive Person sent to it on special processes specially issued by HCO B for Suppressive Persons. It will be found that adherence to these policies will make in Academies very calm. Note: Nothing in this policy letter waives or sets aside any policy concerning the auditing of known institutional cases in an HGC. Persons with histories of institutionalized insanity may not be audited in HGC. L. RON HUBBARD P.S. If you've wondered if you are a Suppressive Person while reading this you aren't!

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This is Reproduced and issued to you by The Publications Organization, U. S. ===================== 015 HCOPL 7 Aug 1965 Suppressive Persons, Main Characteristics of HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 7 AUGUST 1965 Remimeo Ethics Hats Executive Hats SUPPRESSIVE PERSONS, MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF It is interesting in the detection of Suppressive Persons that they use "policy" to prevent purpose. In one org which went into a serious decline a Suppressive Person was in a high position. Every time org personnel returned from Saint Hill and proposed that the org get going, they were told by this SP that their proposals were "against policy". Not one of these people, hearing this, ever alerted to a glaring fact. The SP in this case was renowned for never being able to pass a bulletin, tape or policy letter! So how would that person have known WHAT was against policy for that person NEVER was known to pass a hat check! So that person's statement that, "it's against policy" was obviously false since the person was incapable of passing hat checks or bulletins and wouldn't ever have known what any policy was for or against anything. Thus we see one of the characteristics of an SP is: 1. THE NEGATION OF POLICY WITHOUT KNOWING IT AND THE USE OF "POLICY" TO PREVENT SUCCESS IN SCIENTOLOGY IS THE PRIMARY TOOL OF THE SP AGAINST ORGS. ---------- Dissemination is a prime target of the SP. Magazines ordinarily have half a dozen SPs on their lines. These people write in and complain about ads. If you don't watch it these half dozen become "everybody" and the mag is beaten down into not advertising. "Soft sell" is another recommendation of the SP. And "build it quietly" and "get only decent people" are all part of this. When somebody is demanding less reach, that person is an SP. Therefore we have another characteristic: 2. SPs RECOMMEND INEFFECTIVE DISSEMINATION AND FIND FAULT WITH ANY BEING DONE. ---------- A Suppressive will try to sell off the property or buildings of an org and in one case tried to give them away when temporarily in charge. 3. A SUPPRESSIVE WILL TRY TO GET RID OF AN ORG. ---------- Good staff members are a prime target for SPs. In one org where an SP got a foothold 60% of the staff was gotten rid of and the org almost crashed. They do it by making people too dissatisfied to produce and so make it impossible for the org to earn. HCO PL 7 Aug 65 - 2 - 4. AN SP WILL SEEK TO UPSET AND GET RID OF THE BEST STAFF MEMBERS. ---------- Bad news, particularly if false, is the only comm line of the SP. The executive who is getting bad news as a steady diet on his lines has SPs about. 5. ENTHETA IS THE SOLE STOCK IN TRADE OF THE SP. ---------- The triumph an SP feels in not getting rid of things the auditor has tried to ease is quite malevolent. 6. AN SP IS SATISFIED WITH AUDITING ONLY WHEN HE GETS WORSE. ---------- 7. SPs are happy when their pcs get worse and sad when their pcs get better. ---------- 8. AN SP IN AN EXAMINER POST WILL ONLY DECLARE RELEASED THE BAD RESULT CASES AND WILL NOT PASS ACTUAL RELEASES BUT WILL ARC BREAK THEM. ---------- 9. Covert invalidation is the level of an SP's social intercourse. ---------- An SP can only restimulate another, he has no power of his own. 10. An SP deals only in restimulation, never easing or erasing. ---------- 11. The persons around an SP get so restimulated they can't detect the real SP. ---------- The whole rationale of the SP is built on the belief that if anyone got better, the SP would be for it as the others could overcome him then. He is fighting a battle he once fought and never stopped fighting. He is in an incident. Present time people are mistaken by him for past, long gone enemies. Therefore he never really knows what he is fighting in present time, so just fights. 12. The SP is sure everyone is against him personally and if others became more powerful they would dispose of him. ---------- The SP usually commits continuing overts. These are hidden. I have had two or three SPs blow up and shout or snarl at me. When I investigated I found, in these cases, they were committing daily crimes of some magnitude. 13. An SP commits hidden overts continuously. ---------- 14. Back of a crime you will find SP characteristics. ---------- 15. Because an SP uses generalities in his speech "everybody" "they", etc., the SP is hard to detect. ---------- SPs have an experiential track that is poor. SPs know how to needle and commit overts and hold others back. When released, the SP has so little decent background experience that he or she has a very hard time. 16. Releasing an SP does not make a worthwhile person. It only makes a person who can now learn to get along in life. HCO PL 7 Aug 65 - 3 - "A cleared cannibal is a cleared cannibal." ---------- SPs don't get case gains. Sometimes they pretend them. They are held back by their continuing overts. If we were found by them to be decent, their past conduct would swell up and engulf them. They are in a continued PIP of their fight with Mankind. And they follow the rule that pcs with PTPs get no case gains. ---------- Real SPs comprise about 2-1/2 per cent of the population. By restimulating others they make another 17-1/2 per cent into Potential Trouble Sources. Therefore about 20% of the population is Ethics type. We must not allow this 20% to prevent the 80% from crossing the bridge. We are no enemy of the SP. But he can't have friends, can he? So we handle the SP and his PTSs and carry on with our job. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:mh.cden Copyright ($) 1965 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This is Reproduced and issued to you The Publications Organization, U. S. ===================== 016 HCOB 29 Sep 1965 The Continuing Overt Act HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO BULLETIN OF 29 SEPTEMBER 1965 Remimeo Issue II Franchise Students BPI All Levels THE CONTINUING OVERT ACT Pity the poor fellow who commits daily harmful acts. He'll never make it. A criminal pilfering the cash box once a week has himself stopped cold as far as case gains are concerned. In 1954 I counted some noses. I checked up on 21 cases who had never had any gains since 1950. 17 turned out to be criminals! The other 4 were beyond the reach of investigation. That gave me my first clue. For some years then, I watched for no-gain cases and carefully followed up those that I could. They had major or minor criminal backgrounds. This gave the 1959 break-through on the meter checks (Sec Checking). Following it further since 1959 I have finally amassed enough histories to state: THE PERSON WHO IS NOT GETTING CASE GAINS IS COMMITTING CONTINUING OVERTS. While this sounds like a very good "out" for us, we assume that the auditor at least tried something sensible. Today-the running of a pc by grades is a saving grace for merely "tough cases". Directors of Processing are doing well with the modern graded process approach, level by level, and the D of P Washington has just told me they were cracking cases with the lowest grade processes DC had never been able to handle well before. So, given processing by Grades (the best case approach we've ever had), we crack the rough ones. But will that be all cases? There's still one. The case who continually commits overts before, during and after processing. He won't make it. One thing helps this, however. You have seen the Ethics Codes appear. By putting a bit of control in the Scientology environment we have enough threat to restrain dramatization. The phenomena is this: The reactive bank can exert stress on the pc if it is not obeyed. Discipline must exert just a shade more stress against dramatization than the bank does. This checks the performance of the continual overt long enough to let processing bite. Not everyone is a continuous overt committer by a thousand to one. But this phenomenon is not confined to the no-gain case. The slow gain case is also committing overts the auditor doesn't see. Therefore a little discipline in the environment speeds the slow gain case, the one we're more interested in. The no-gain case, frankly, is one I am not panting to solve. If a fellow wants to sell his next hundred trillion for the sake of the broken toy he stole, I'm afraid I can't be bothered. I have no contract with any Big Thetan to save the world complete. It is enough for me to know: 1. Where bottom is, and 2. How to help speed slow gain cases. Bottom is the chap who eats your lunch apple and says the children did it. Bottom is the fellow who sows the environment with secret suppressive acts and vicious generalities. The slow gain case responds to a bit of "keep your nose clean, please, while I apply the thetan-booster." The fast gain case does his job and doesn't give a hoot about threatened discipline if it's fair. And the fast gain case helps out and the fast gain case can be helped by a more orderly environment. The good worker works more happily when bad workers see the pitfalls and desist from distracting him. So we all win. The no-gain case? Well, he sure doesn't deserve any gain. One pc in a thousand. And he yaps and groans and says "Prove it works" and blames us and raises hell. He makes us think we fail. Look down in our Sthil files. There are actually thousands upon thousands of Scientologists there who each one comment on how wonderful it is and how good they feel. There are a few dozen or so who howl they haven't been helped! What a ratio! Yet I believe some on staff think we have a lot of dissatisfied people. These no-gain characters strew so much entheta around that we think we fail. Look in the Saint Hill files sometime! Those many thousands of reports continue to pour in from around the world with hurrah! Only the few dozen groan. But long ago I closed my book on the no-gain case. Each of those few dozen no-gains tell frightening lies to little children, pour ink on shoes, say how abused they are while tearing the guts out of those unlucky enough to be around them. They are suppressive persons, everyone. I know. I've seen them all the way down to the little clinker they call their soul. And I don't like what I saw. The people who come to you with wild discreditable rumours, who seek to tear people's attention off Scientology, who chew up orgs, are suppressive persons. Well, give them a good rock and let them suppress it! I can't end this HCO B without a confession. I know how to cure them rather easily. Maybe I'll never let it be done. For had they had their way we would have lost our chance. It's too near to think about. After all, we have to earn our freedom. I don't care much for those who didn't help. The rest of us had to sweat a lot harder than was necessary to make it come true. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:ml.rd Copyright ($) 1965 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED HCO B 29 September 1965 - Page 2
