fictional characters, especially heroes and
heroines -- such as Orphan Annie, Huckleberry
Finn, Tarzan, Elsie Dinsmore, etc.)
8. Gods -- Any kind of deity. He should be
drilled on creating and destroying any kind of
god image: scrawny gods, poor gods, good gods,
horrible gods, wonderful gods, his mother's
god and his father's god, the kind of god various religions set up, etc., so that in imagination he can create them and destroy them.
The drill is very simple. "Create this.
Move it around in space. Make it older. Make
it younger. Modify it; make it good, make it
bad, make it sick, make it better. Destroy it;
get rid of it. Now make some more of the same,
Destroy them."
Anything the subject has trouble with, he
should be drilled on, no matter what it is or
where it is. He should be able to create and
destroy the nastiest things and the most pleasant things in existence. He should be able to
create and destroy murders, flowers, people,
horrible monsters, wonderful things, and situations like new homes or million dollar bills --
anything and everything.

LESSON 9 -- CREATING AND DESTROYING IN
IMAGINATION
HIS LESSON takes up imagination
drills on creating and destroying.
The prerequisites for it are completion of at least Lessons 1 thru
5 , altho after working on No.9,
some of you might find it pays to
go back and do some more work on
Lesson 5. The purpose of this lesson is threefold: First, to remove
any blocks on your perception, to
show you what they are and how to take
them off; second, to locate and remove any
residual subconscious identifications; and
third, to establish a complete and accurate differentiation between those things
which are real and exist in the general
universe and those which are imaginary
and belong in the individual's personal
or imaginary universe.
The best results on this drill are usually
obtained if one person works another on a prepared list of material. There are several
places where such lists are available. One of
the most extensive I have seen is published in
L. Ron Hubbard's writings, and the outline
given here is based on Dianetics; but others
could be used as long as they are equally comprehensive. You should cover the following
framework, and you should take the subject
over it thoroly:
1. Self -- lb be able to create and destroy
in imagination himself, his body, any part of
himself whatsoever, to make an imaginary picture of it, change it, alter it, bang it
around, make it older, make it younger, and
destroy it. He should be able to do any and
all of these rapidly and easily without any
reaction whatsoever.
WARNING -- These lessons in "Advanced Perception" are not to be treated lightly -- or delved
In by the curious for idle or questionable
goals. As the Author cautions, they're dangerous -- and it is suggested two persons with similar Intent work as a team. One of the risks involved, Mr. Schroeppel warns, is that some who
successfully develop their advanced perception
"are going to see some things they'd rather not
see". And don't mix with any other technique,
or you may find yourself working at cross-purposes. Which Is no place to find yourself, or
for anyone else to find you -- especially an incompetent psychologist or psychiatrist. They
may get the idea you're as crazy as they are.
