Lecture: Releases and Clears (2) (1966)

Now your next level of Release that was acceptable to the world at large–that man is a spiritual being. Now that is in decay. That has been known and has been suppressed, and has been suppressed since 1879, Professor Wundt, Leipzig, Germany. I always like to remember the man’s name. Man was an animal and he was nothing but an animal and therefore it was all right to kill him, maim him, shoot him, do anything you possibly could to him because he was “Nyaa, no good,” see? Now this is something like some of the Christian philosophy that was advanced in the second or third century A.D., that man was conceived in evil and was evil so it was perfectly all right to kill him, maim him, harm him, do anything you wanted to. Do you see these things as justifications? Justifications for overts, no more than that.

So you have the entire, what is laughingly called “field of philosophy”–it is a field too, out there in the rain, man. You have what is laughingly called a field of philosophy embracing now uniformly, the idea that they’re dealing with rats or something. Well, they’re not going to make very much progress and they could get themselves into one awful bloody revolution. I’m not using that as a swear word, I mean a bleeding revolution. They could, they could be cut down in the streets, man. Because the Christian has not yet found out that the psychologist is an atheist. And there is atheism being taught right in the colleges and there’s a bunch of bigoted Christians going to find out about that someday and they’re going to get mad. Fortunately for psych–for psychology it is such an inarticulate subject that it hasn’t made itself sufficiently plain to be understood that it’s an atheistic subject.

But if your psychologist were ever to succeed he would have to come closer to the truth than the brain is all that is there, and a man is dead forever. Because it’s very unpopular, very unpopular. But suppressives would like it, and so psychology, psychiatry and things like that tend to be supported by governments rather than by the populace. The populace think anything is better. They think psychology is silly. But governments employ it. So you see suppressives employ these nontruthful subjects or subjects which prevent philosophic advances, or subjects which prevent releasing.

So your actual–you’d be surprised how far you could go just doing this–you actually could move in to the whole subject on the subject convincing somebody that man was a spiritual being. See, he’s already halfway agreed with it. “Well, you’re a Christian, aren’t you?”

“Oh yes, yes, yes.” You know he knows better than to say he’s not a Christian. He gets an c.

Well, you find even in Christianity–you know the whole subject of reincarnation was barred very recently by the Roman Catholic Church–very recently. Only in the last few hundred years. They carried reincarnation right along with them, pockety – pock. They said the guy who hadn’t been good enough had to come back and live it all over again. And somehow or another they dropped that, they had an edict of Scrantes?[sic]   Or something, I don’t know, some stupid edict by which they abolished wisdom.

Now, therefore that man is a spiritual being and not an animal–you could become very involved with as an argument–but if somebody bought the idea, if somebody bought the idea that he was a spiritual being rather than an animal, you have then got a state of Release. He’s released from an untruth that could trap him. Now very possibly–very possibly, this is where you could use exteriorization, but I do not advise it. What’s useful at this point is Dianetics. Because a person goes rapidly back, but it’s a little bit ahead of itself; don’t you see? There isn’t a perfect answer to this.

Ah, a guy goes back and only runs so many engrams and there he is sitting on the parapets of the castle, you know, watching the enemy march across the plain. And he says, what am I doing here, this is obviously me. And he makes it up out of his own head that he must be an immortal being because he has lived before quite obviously. Dianetics will bring people up to that point. But, this is a release from this lifetime. A person is released from the very narrow span of just one lifetime. And that is a terrific release because the death of–the terrible consequences of death fall away, he stands around and laughs as the funerals go by, you know.

I mean, I remember a long time ago I was–I had to pull off the road–I had to pull off the road down in Arizona to let a funeral go by. And boy, people’s eyes were streaming so that it looked like rain falling out behind that funeral. And boy, everybody was real sad. And I sat there and watched this, you know. And I just got through gauging on some researches into the immortal nature of man, you know. But it suddenly looked so silly to me that I sat there and laughed like a fool for about ten minutes. I couldn’t get the car going again, I didn’t dare drive. It just suddenly seemed so funny. All of this action with regard to this one thing, you see, such a production. And of course it was a very big funeral and a very sad one for a banker. Of course they–I knew he’d never get to heaven. I know he would be back there stirring it up again.

Anyhow, you, in that fashion would take people out of the one–lifetime idea. And that is your–a tremendous breakthrough that is available to you because it’s a release from the idea of one lifetime. There is a breakthrough for concentration which is quite acceptable to the society in which we exist.1

September 5, 1950 by Caroline Letkeman

Lecture: Political Dianetics (1950)

By the way, I know whereof I speak in regard to bills and legislation and the mechanisms and central working mechanics of our government. I went to school in Washington, D.C., and I had a lot of friends up on the Hills during the next few years, and during 1941 I decided to push a button. A friend of mine (a public-relations man from the Pacific Northwest) and I were sitting over coffee and we decided the government was too calm. We decided we would push a button and see what happened.

There was an outfit known as the Army Air Corps, and there was a lot of pressure to make it into a separate department of air forces like England had. We decided the air force needed an autonomous status. The representative from Massachusetts had been talking about this as part of his press campaign for some time.

So here we were, a writer and a public-relations man. We walked into the third floor of the government office building, and we had connections but didn’t want anything.

That’s how government becomes complicated–by wanting something out of it. You can do almost anything you want with government if you don’t want anything, because you just have no classification. Nobody can classify you, and as a result everybody just walks around and is glad to meet you because you are not asking any favors. And this is so strange that it gives you quite a bit of “pep” (that means publicity, within the cliques that work with the cliques).

We pushed the button on Monday and the autonomous status of the United States Air Force happened on Tuesday. We did it as a little experiment. We didn’t care whether the United States Air Force was flying helicopters or digging holes. It was just a point that there was sentiment existing on in some lines. All we had to do was go down and write a bill requesting what we wanted. We merely said, “Senator Phlipsenbalm just sent us down to write up these bills; he’s quite interested in it.” As a matter of fact the senator had muttered something like that the night before; it was rather indistinct because of Scotch, but he had. We went over to the House of Representatives and wrote a bill. Then we sent an alarm report that this bill was going through to tear the air force away from the army and the navy and to set up a new department.

So of course this just went along by word of mouth. It was wonderful! Senator’s office after senator’s office was alerted by the army and the navy, because the army and navy have patrons up on the Hill; they are not orphans. Finally we had collected a long series of names of people who were alarmed that this was going to happen. Then we told them something worse was going to happen–the air force would be set up as an independent department of defense. Then all we had to do was to tell the fellow who was a press relations man for the secretary of war, “Look, boy! You’d better get on the ball because this and this and this.”

“Huh! I’ll see the secretary immediately!”

Autonomous status for the United States Air Force was created. That is how it happened. You think this sounds too incredible, that a government could be so loose, so poorly controlled, so utterly unplanned, that anyone could just walk into the center of this government and do something like that. This government today is not very stable. I wish it were more stable.

Mind you, I happen to be a loyal American, I happen to be for the American people and I definitely enjoy our old friend Jefferson and the rest of them. It is just that occasionally I don’t enjoy seeing these things departed from too far. Even Jefferson’s statement that a government ought to be reorganized completely every twenty-five years doesn’t throw aside the fact that he was a pretty loyal American. I think there are people who will agree with the statement that he was a loyal American.

Suppose I had been an agent provocateur from Moscow or Italy or Germany; it wouldn’t have made any difference. I would have had the same connections and could have done the same thing. And suppose the point wasn’t quite as innocent, and a similar job had been done just before the war by this infiltration process, which prevented all the navy yards from getting machine tools to build battleships in case we went to war with Germany.

In other words, we don’t seem to have a good organisational plan going. We look for the people who are in charge and for the people who are doing the planning and so on, and we find some guy who is sitting out doing nothing much but pushing a few buttons and getting compromises, and occasionally jockeying something around or getting his boss a contract (because his boss is also the vice president of some manufacturing company). It’s pretty loose.

But we have, over all this, this huge illusion of terrific planning. We have the illusion of an organisation, we have an illusion that this country is held together today by a great democracy. It is being held together less and less by that. Actually this country is held together by the loyalty and ability of its individual citizens who form the social organism, not by a bloodless outfit such as those I described to you.

It is held together because in our minds we have this idea; we have an idea of what we want out of our government, that this is the kind of government we want and we hope that we have got. But now all the government has to do is keep convincing us that we have got it and things are running that way and they will go on running that way.1
