This is tape recording #6810C03 SO (Sea Org) Class VIII 10, 1968. L.Ron Hubbard: This is the 3rd of October, Class VIII auditors course, lecture #10 on OT(Operating Thetan) III. You don't run this on people below that level, you'd kill'em. Incident 2, this is known as R6, which is of course 74 plus plus plus million years ago, almost 75. For this confederacy and the twenty-one adjacent stars and it's seventy six planets people at that particular time and space were walking around in clothes which looked very remarkably like the clothes they wear this very minute, and the cars they drove looked exactly the same and the trains they ran looked the same, and the boats they had looked the same. And they walked down streets that looked like these streets, and lived in houses that looked like these houses, and so on. Circa 1950, 1960. This civilization has simply copied R6 one hundred percent because they were told to. And they had elected a fellow by the name of Xenu to the supreme ruler. And they were about to unelect him. He took these last moments to really upset it. He of course had several key birds who were close to him. He was a suppressive to end all suppressives. He got these administrators and so on and heads of planets in various positions and places. This is one of the big ideas they had, that they just did all this, then they'd get rid of all overpopulation. These planets averaged 178 billion human beings per planet. He picked off all the cowboys in the white hat, and he got rid of them first fast, and then troops, not knowing what the hell they were doing, but fed all kinds of false orders, were fed in against the population to pick them up, one after the other, rat-atat-tat-atat-tat-atat-tat. So in they went, and the troops started slaughtering them, and the trick was to shoot somebody, disable somebody, very often a needle into a lung, and at the same time to hit him with frozen alcohol and glycol, which preparation is guaranteed to pick up a thetan. All they had to do was pick him up and put him into a refrigerator, and they had him boy. Because if he tried to exteriorize from the body, there he was frozen. And they threw them into collection points. Boxed them up in boxes, threw them into space planes which are the exact copies - DC8's, the DC8 aeroplane is the exact copy of the space plane of that day. No difference. Except the DC8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't. And they threw them into refrigerated units. And so on. The length of time from the planet Coltus to the planet Teegeeack, which is the name of this planet, was nine weeks, and you'll see that it's many light years. Coltus is one of the planets, and is to this day one of the planets of the North Star. Polaris. And people were ferried in here by the billions and the billions and the billions and they were ferried in here with boxes. And they were put in boxes and stacked around. And the people who were on this planet already just caught it in the teeth. They weren't bothered .. nobody bothered to pick them up. They just shot their administrators from guns, and shot their control points out and they took these people in boxes and so forth and they dumped them and then they set off hydrogen bombs on the top of each primary volcano there is on this particular planet and when they blew up it blew the thetans into the air and after the bomb an electronic ribbon, which also was a type of standing wave was erected over the area. The tremendous winds of the planet blew every thetan there was straight into those particular vacuum zones which had been created. These were brought down, packed up, and put in front of projection machines which with sound and color pictures first gave them the implant which you know as Clearing Course and then a whole track implanted which you know as OT II. After this, however, up about a .. the remainder of the thirty six days, which is the bulk of them is taken up with a 3-D, super colossal motion picture, which has to do with God, the devil, space opera, etcetera, they go five pictures to five words, and we have the full record of what it is. Every man is then shown to have been crucified, so don't think that it's an accident that this crucifixion .. they found out that this applied. Somebody, somewhere on this planet, back about 600 BC, found some pieces of R6. And I don't know how they found it, either by watching mad men or something but since that time they have used it and it became what is known as Christianity. The man on the cross. There was no Christ but the man on the cross is shown as every man so of course each person seeing a crucified man has an immediate feeling of sympathy for this man. So is the psychiatrist shown crucified, although the psychiatrist is a dominant character and that's how he gets away with what he gets away with. He electric shocks people. The entirety of Roman Catholicism, the devil, all this sort of thing, that is all part of R6. It goes on for about thirty six days and then these poor bastards were let wander out .. pardon me .. they were then boxed up again and the boxes were mixed so that .. there were two assembly areas, one was Las Palmas and the other was Hawaii.. so as to get people very confused as to what was the true cause of the entire thing. After they were packaged up they were blown off into space and let 'em go to hell. About, well relatively, almost modern times .. at least twenty million years ago, something like that, somebody started up a body line on the planet. It's gradually worked through various areas of barbarism and once more R6 tailor made it to be nothing but a cave man civilization. But nevertheless they moved up the line and they moved up towards the dramatization of R6, and that is what man calls progress. When they get cold it restimulates frozen alcohol and glycol as a mix and therefore they get into a dramatization. The body thetan trying to make him sick, or something like that. So the sickness is very closely tied in with R6. Quite in addition to that one of the volcanoes Japan on its explosion gave a certain definite implant that tells people when and how to be sick. They're supposed to be sick at five they're supposed to be sick at ten, they're supposed to be sick and so on. Up to fifty the change of life that men get and women get and so on. It's all dictated in this sickness implant. People are supposed to get sick. An assist is done on the sick PC (Pre Clear) And you never do a touch assist when you can do a contact assist. If you are auditing him with a meter you audit him on exact standard tech. It isn't a peculiar brand of tech which enters in. There is no case that standard tech doesn't solve. You understand? You don't arbitrarily audit something without finding out what it is. You're assessing. And you ask him what he thinks it is. And he normally will tell you, “I don't know.” so you have got to suggest it. It has to be gently done and the control of the session has to be very good. He's most likely to be the victim of a cluster. That's peculiar to all the thetans of the universe. They all got that, so of course it makes them tend to cluster around these incidents. Body thetans. Engrams. You got the idea. People very grossly underestimate the number of body thetans there are to run. The body that doesn't have any body thetans, is like trying to tell me that cows exist on the planet who have no heads. The fate of the R6er .. you will have many a PC who will say to you Oh, my God, they're after me. Well ... Sure fixed up an area. They fixed up an implant that there .. people are taught carefully that any man who tries to save the world must be killed. He must be mobbed and hanged. Any man who tries to save the world. So I of course, shifted our valence over to a more optimum R6 valence. The whole population of the planet responds like a clock to R6 symbols. They respond to nothing else. They do not respond to reason. They only respond to R6 symbols. So you occupy the wrong symbol and people begin to think of you as a person who is going to save the planet, then one and all are more or less under orders to slaughter you. Well, they booby trapped it. They booby trapped it very badly. Whenever, then, anybody tries to do anything about this he is apt to get a flashback. So you mustn't go around talking about being the people who are going to save the planet. You are the people the planet obeys. You are the people who own the planet. You are not the people who are going to save the planet. And, thereby, you will save it.
