in the field is evidently not high
enough at this time. I could give up
all else and devote myse?f—to pulling articles out of people, but
don't feel it is that important to
me. Also, Spaceways took a sort of
pulse count on public reaction by
publishing Van Vogt°s article on Dianetics (a ve excellent article,
and one that ould be in every dianetic library . Local sales went up
quite markedly for that issue, but
national sales fell off just as markedly, so he isn't very enthusiastic
just now. The time may come for this
but it isn't now. So, folks, please
don't send that article to me now
that you started last May or June."

"As a Philadelphian, I find it
pretty hilarious that in all of America it is only New Yorkers who are
idealistically procuring those last
wide-eyed recruits for Hubbard exploitation, a role which Noyga andi
decisively rejected two years ago.
Of course, New York's big hearted
gullibility has been a by-word among
people like on and Mhclntyre who
loved ,the slick city best." -- Belen
O'Brien, Philadelphia. Penn.
"Thanks for making us officially
apart of infinity. We sure feel a
lot better about things now. The
pledge is good. We arrived at a
somewhat similar point some time ago
and are learning more and more to
act as we know, so we can sign that
pledge with sincerity -- if you'll
permit the mental reservation, 'Just
as much as I can until I can do
more.' (ED. NOTE -- Sure, if you want
to be a 'Split Infinity' for awhile,
that's O. by us, too.)...
"I'm not in the least concerned
about the ultimate of dianetics,
scientology, or any other 'ic','ism'
or °oloe._The important thing is
that SCHEMING is happening. And
whether they use dianetics, scientology, synergeties, humanics, or
Coueism, people are sitting down
with other people and saying, in effect, 'Sure, I know you got troubles. Mabe we can lick them together. I'll be glad to help'. Just
that little much is important -- people working together to help other
people...
"There's something else that is
happening and will continue to happen...It s something so big and wonderful I just plumb sort of go shin,ing up the pole ever time I think
about it. It's the to therness'
that's come out of all o us who've
been working in dianetics scientology and the various offshoots thereof. As you know, until the last year
or so when I withdrew from the field
I was in communication with and accepted by most of the various
groups. And there is this: No matter which group or camp, those people were more similar than any similar number of people who had not
been processing ever could be...
"So far as I'm concerned, that's
all that 'clear' or °optimum' is-ea
recognition of your basic beingness
as a part of the universe and participation in terms of that recog16
nition. The rest follows after like
a puppy dog's tail follows the pup.
For some this will mean activity on
the level we call 'miraculous°, for
others it will mean going quite ordinary ways and doing quite ordinary
things, but with a deeper understandin§ and in increased reality.
'And, once an individual reel;
nizes what he is and that he is AS
HE IS a perfectly proper and appropriate (and properly and appropriately functioning) part of all creation -- once he recognizes this and
be?ins, oh, ever so little,to consciouslyy act in terms of it -- not all
the Hubbards in the world can change

"The straight wire and getting
the patients to go over and over accidents and losses is more useful to
me than anything else in the office.
In fact, it is all I use in the office; otherwise I take the p-c after
office hours. I have read some of
Talbot Mandy's stuff. I liked it.
Truth, like gold, is where you find
it.
"This immortal stuff is no laughing matter when one really starts
kicking the idea around. It can look
pretty horrible -- never an end. How
right you are about most of us concentrating on the future. I know
that it has been the worst vice I
have had. Leave the answers all for
tomorrow -- tomorrow would take care
of everything. I would be happy tomorrow, and on and on ad infinitum.
Believe me, I want to get this present moment stuff an operating reality"You suggested that I look at my
lack of goals and ambitions as for
me or for the body... Until I read
your letter, I dated my goals somewhere several months at least in the
future. Goals had to be big things
to be worked toward. All the things
of today was just the mechanics of
living. Not habits that could not
be ehenged for I do not have many
set patterns of living, but I had
never thought of them in the light of
goals or ambitions. Thanks for the
invitation to reassess them; it has
been most enlightening,I assure you.
"...In any other branch of society than among scientologists, Bon's
blast at you would be politely ignored by your friends until you saw
fit to speak of it, at least. I deplore the situation, for it is not
good for the organization and it
tears at our loyalties. I love you
both and there are probably hundreds
of others in the same fix and here
we are unable to be on either side."

"Two of the comments in the last
Aberree, by Ikey Stone and Williams,
are a good example of the main reason why old-fashioned Dianetics did
not work for some people. There are
too many people who can not read or
understand directions. Both Stone
and Williams believe that the Zeman
circuit changes when an individual
is left-handed. For the single circuit it does not change at all. The
The ABERREE, December, 1955
essence of the relaxation circuit is
the connection of positive to negative. With any indivfddual, regardless of handedness, the head and
right hand are of one sign, while
the left hand and ba$eofthe spine
are of the other sign. Consequently,
regardless of handedness, the right
hand is connected to the base of tthhee
spine and the left to the head. What
the signs axe becomes important only
when connecting two people together.
"When Ikey Stone got the results
she did with the relaxation circuit,
and from her report did not try the
tension circuit, it becomes likely
that she me~~ have some glandular
condition intds £ -.-this is
the case, the_ Mae aual can relax
only in the te31 b i `ATCuit , until
there has been enough change be the
glandular condition.ffor the individual to respond in normal fashion. It would payo read the
parts of the book-'bhat•she apparently skipped.
"Bob Williams reports that the
English use 'base of the' sine" instead of the-radeericanism 'fanny'. There is a difference. The one
refers to the spine, which with humans ends with the doccya. The other
is what most peoples sit- oh. -if Williams has had the iSS[ar screen under
that portion of himself rather than
the base of his spinet he could not
expect much in the way: of results."

and I'm finding that method of intensive running much more satisfactory. We have now excellent case

collection of these make a mighty
convincing case for Scientology processing. "You've probably been getting the
