Article: Introduction to PTS/SP Course Lectures

INTRODUCTION1

The lectures you are about to hear were delivered by L. Ron Hubbard from December 1963 through August 1966 to the students of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course in Sussex, England. These years represent one of the most exhilarating periods in the history of Scientology.

A great deal of the fame of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course came from the fact that while Ron was lecturing to the top auditors of the day from around the world, training them and improving their skills, he was concurrently mapping the route to full OT. This gave his lectures to these students an even more special flavor: the thrill and exhilaration of discoveries just made, of barriers to sanity defeated.

From the research and testing of this period came much of the technology standardly in use around the world today, including fantastic advances in E-Meters and their use, prepared lists and remedies, the full technology of study and codification and standardization of the Bridge to Total Freedom.

In the accompanying lectures Ron thoroughly covers the subject of Suppressive Persons and their victims—the PTS. Here is the technology to confront and shatter suppression and put one at cause.

This is technology for every being. It not only assures one’s progress up the Bridge, and the gains that are available each step of the way, but is technology that puts one at cause in every aspect of life.

While these lectures were originally recorded many years ago on equipment which is long since obsolete, the most meticulous care and procedures were used at all stages of production to reproduce these priceless lectures with the highest possible quality, using Ron’s Clearsound state-of-the-art sound technology.

It is our great pleasure to present these lectures to you now.

ANNIHILATING THE BARRIERS TO TOTAL FREEDOM
THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL AFFAIRS NETWORK1

Through victory after victory, large and small, we have shown that no amount of suppression can block the road out – so long as Sea Org members are there to protect it and strengthen its foundations. In the past year, our sphere of influence has continued to grow, more and more people have learned the truth about Scientology, and even SPs got the message: To go up against Scientology is to go up against dedicated Sea Org members – and the Sea Org always emerges victorious, no matter the persistence required.

HCOPL: Alter-Is and Degraded Beings

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 22 MARCH 19671
Issue I
(Also issued as an HCOB, same date and title)

Remimeo

IMPORTANT

Admin Know-How Series 14

ALTER-IS AND DEGRADED BEINGS

Alteration of orders and tech is worse than noncompliance.

Alter-is is a covert avoidance of an order. Although it is apparently often brought about by noncomprehension, the noncomprehension itself, and failure to mention it, is an avoidance of orders.

Very degraded beings alter-is. Degraded ones refuse to comply without mentioning it. Beings in fair condition try to comply but remark their troubles, to get help when needed. Competent higher-toned beings understand orders and comply if possible but mainly do their jobs without needing lots of special orders.

Degraded beings find any instruction painful, as they have been painfully indoctrinated with violent measures in the past. They therefore alter-is any order or don’t comply.

Thus, in auditing pcs or in org, where you find alter-is (covert noncompliance) and noncompliance, given sensible and correct tech or instructions, you are dealing with a degraded low-level being and should act accordingly.

One uses very simple low-level processes on a degraded being, gently.

In admin, orgs and especially the Tech Div where a staff member alter-ises or fails to comply, you are also dealing with a degraded being but one who is too much a pc to be a staff member. He cannot be at cause, and staff members must be at cause. So he or she should not be on staff.

This is a primary senior datum regulating all handling of pcs and staff members.

A degraded being is not a suppressive as he can have case gain. But he is so PTS that he works for suppressives only. He is sort of a super-continual PTS beyond the reach, really, of a simple S&D and handled only at Section III OT Course.

Degraded beings, taking a cue from SP associates, instinctively resent, hate and seek to obstruct any person in charge of anything or any Big Being.

Anyone issuing sensible orders is the first one resented by a degraded being.

A degraded being lies to his seniors, avoids orders covertly by alter-is, fails to comply, supplies only complex ideas that can’t ever work (obstructive) and is a general area of enturbulence, often mild seeming or even “cooperative,” often even flattering, sometimes merely dull, but consistently alter-ising or noncomplying.

This datum appeared during higher-level research and is highly revelatory of earlier unexplained phenomena-the pc who changes commands or doesn’t do them, the worker who can’t get it straight or who is always on a tea break.

In an area where suppression has been very heavy for long periods, people become degraded beings. However, they must have been so before already due to track incidents.

Some thetans are bigger than others. None are truly equal. But the degraded being is not necessarily a natively bad thetan. He is simply so PTS and has been for so long that it requires our highest-level tech to finally undo it after he has scaled up all our grades.

Degraded beings are about eighteen to one over Big Beings in the human race (minimum ratio). So those who keep things going are few. And those who will make it without the steam of the few in our orgs behind them are zero. At the same time, we can’t have a world full of them and still make it. So we have no choice.

And we can handle them even when they cannot serve at higher levels.

This is really OT data, but we need it at lower levels to get the job done.

L. Ron Hubbard
Founder

HCOPL: Public Investigation Section

 

HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 17 FEBRUARY 19661; 2

HCO Div 1
Department 3, Section 5

Limited Non-Remimeo
Exec Sec Hats
HCO Sec Hats
Sect Officer Hat
Section Investigators’ Hats

PUBLIC INVESTIGATION SECTION

The Public Investigation Suction is formed in Division 1, Dept 3, as Section 5.

The purpose of this section is:

“TO HELP LRH INVESTIGATE PUBLIC MATTERS AND INDIVIDUALS WHICH SEEM TO IMPEDE HUMAN LIBERTY S0 THAT SUCH MATTERS MAY BE EXPOSED AND TO FURNISH INTELLIGENCE REQUIRED IN GUIDING THE PROGRESS OF SCIENTOLOGY.”

When an organization has 150 on staff this section must be formed. Until that time it should be formed in Continental organizations responsible for the general good of Scientology on that continent.

It is composed wholly of professional investigators. Agencies may not be used.

Personnel for this section is advertised for in classified columns, giving only our phone number, and are called in for personnel review by Dept 1 and Dept 14.

Great care must be taken in selecting such personnel as to past experience and an E-meter check that is completely valid must he passed by the applicant regarding his purposes. A high or low tone arm or an undesirable needle reaction flunks the applicant. The question regarding the applicant being sent there by some other hostile agency must be passed without any question or doubt.

The applicant is given nominal pay and expenses on actual receipts only until he or she has a proven statistic at which time better pay may be given.

The investigator is detailed only to specific projects as laid down by Worldwide and these must always concern broad public matters that are reacting on Scientology and strictly in accordance with the purpose of this section. In this way investigation serves as processing at public level.

The section may never be used on Ethics Section matters but may work with Ethics when an ex-Scientologist is involved.

The section has nothing to do with dispersed investigation of isolated cases. It may only work on matters relating to groups and individuals who are part of those groups.

The statistic of the section is dual consisting or the number of cases successfully investigated on specific projects and the number of derogatory news stories appearing that week related to enemies of Scientology related to a specific project. The statistic of each individual investigator is the number of cases personally investigated to a completed useful report. These are reported to the HCO Advisory Committee and graphed each week. Production of the section is the number of cases in a project processed.

– 2 –

It will be seen that the section has all the useful functions of an intelligence and propaganda agency. It finds the data and sees that it gets action.

The determination of what a project is is simple – what agency or group is attacking Scientology? As Scientology stands for freedom. those who don’t want freedom tend to attack it. The Section investigates the attacking group’s individual members and sees that the results of the investigation get adequate legal action and publicity.

The mechanism employed is very straightforward. We never use the data to threaten to expose. We simply collect it and expose.

Experience with the section will show that very sordid motives lie behind such attacks and that individuals of the attacking groups have a very great deal to hide. Thus the section always has a huge quantity of matters to be discovered and is not likely to run out of cases to investigate, providing only that it does not depart from this formula:

1. Note what public or private group is attacking Scientology.

2. Get a project warrant from the Advisory Council area or WW to investigate it.

3. Collect as many case histories as possible on the individuals of that group. specializing on those that can be led to criminal prosecution by state or world agencies.

4. See that enough of the data is made available to the state or world agencies to obtain convictions.

5. See that excellent press coverage is given the disclosures over as long a period of time as possible.

6. See that HCO and Scientology are given full credit for protecting human rights and liberty.

If there is no variation in the above formula and if serious departures or private vendettas do not enter in, and if all evidence continues to be honest and none of it framed, the section and Scientology will prosper.

__________

All investigators, once they have passed their rigorous screening and have been employed, may look over the organization, its papers and files and satisfy themselves that we ourselves are not trying to hide anything and are exactly what we say we are and do exactly what we say we do.

Operating from this platform of confidence, the investigator can be much more effective.

Successfully experiencing Scientology processing can heighten the confidence even further.

__________

PROCEDURES

Standard intelligence procedures are used.

The section has a file for each project and files by names of individuals within that project. The names are cross indexed.

– 3 –

Public solicitation for cases of injury to the rights or liberty concerned with that proJect can obtain leads.

Every project should be the subject of a case form made up to contain details necessary for filing and follow up.

Anyone writing in a complaint is then sent a copy of the form to fill in so that the vital data can be weeded out and the importance of that complaint seen at a glance. The pattern of the form is based on the data needful to get a conviction.

Such a form is always sent back with a covering letter stating it is all in confidence, etc. making the plaintiff feel safer in answering.

However lists of names of plaintiffs are procured, each becomes the subject of a filled form.

The more fruitful of such forms are followed up by individual investigators. These obtain the data necessary for a conviction of the individual complained about who is a member of the attacking group.

Only copies are ever given state agencies or the police. Originals are always held.

The usual precautions against libel, slander and false arrest are taken.

Projects must be studied for legal liabilities by the Legal Section before being commenced upon. But no project may be stopped by the Legal Section – their whole function is to find how to make it safe.

No act which will make an investigator liable to criminal prosecution may be ordered.

The section should note that press and the public are interested in murder, assault, destruction, violence, sex and dishonesty in that order. Investigations which can uncover these factors in the activities of individuals of a group attacking Scientology are valuable in the degree that they contain a number of these factors. The more factors a case contains the more important the case is. The idea is that the press feeds on these factors and we feed them someone else‘s. It will be found that our own Scientology groups contain so few of these they have to be invented about us. we need never invent them in the attacking group. They will be found to be there.

Associating the attacking group‘s activities with reprehensible groups in the past by using similar descriptive words will be found very effective. For example. if the word “white” has been made hateful to the public by some past criminal group we use “white” in our descriptive terminology concerning the group that is attacking us and whom we are investigating. “Psychiatric blood sports” is an example, blood sports being lately very much derogated.

__________

The work of the section is usually tied to committees in human rights or such committees as organized by the International Executive Division.

__________

-4-

The action of the section is more than Scientology self-protection. As one holds up an image of freedom to the public the more suppressive groups and individuals in the society attack it. Hitler, for instance, would have attacked any group just because it was free. In that way we then get rid of suppressive groups by investigation and disclosure.

Section investigators would do well to study the technology on suppressive persons.

__________

Such attacking groups with which the section will deal derive their power from pretense and secrecy. It will be seen the power vanishes under calm investigation. particularly when it is well known to them that we are investigating.
