Now, since Mr. Jones is under the influence of the drug which acts as an insulator stiffener, he gives the appearance of some amount of rationality. We can talk to him and he will agree, rationally, that roses are red. He responds very well to this. He can think about it. He’s in good condition. But let the effect of this drug wear off for any reason. A horse is a church as roses are red. A horse with red roses is a church. A rose church equals a red horse. A rose horse means a church is red, or read. A horse rose up ]n the church and read. Mr. Jones will swear to it. The engrams say so. The same identifications are made plus all the factors encountered under sedation. Everything is undifferentiated again. And a new engram has been added to Mr. Jones’ repertoire. And this is a permanent addition. The engram will not key out again until properly processed. Ordinarily, if you restimulate an engram which refuses to reduce or erase, it will not stay in restimulation more than three to eight days. A late life engram may stay in pretty stiff restimulation for three to eight days, but at the end of this time it will key out again. If you put a person under sedation, because you have added a drug factor to the whole thing, it does not key out in from three to eight days. It just goes on and on. Your preclear has another permanent, soldered-in computation in his mind. CONCLUSION A great deal of work needs to be done to determine the exact effect of chemicals on processing. Enough has been discovered, however, to warrant a reiteration of the warnings about sedation in the Handbook.* As for processing a person who is under sedation, one word pretty well sums up the advice which can be garnered from the research already done in this field: DON’T. [* Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health by L. Ron Hubbard.] WICHITA LECTURES Wichita, Kansas 9 April—21 May 1951 In the Spring of 1951, the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation moved from Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Wichita, Kansas. Wichita, being near to the geographical center of the United States, was an excellent location for the new National Headquarters of Dianetics. From here, the Foundation could more easily centralize and consolidate all the activities of Dianetics as well as offer a more comprehensive and better integrated program of courses, processing and publications. On the evening of 21 May 1951, L. Ron Hubbard spoke for an hour and forty-five minutes to an audience which filled the lecture hall at the Wichita Foundation. This was his first major lecture in several months, as he had been engaged in completing Science of Survival, and he presented technological improvements and expansions and clarifications of theory. A recording of this lecture was made available to all groups and individuals in Dianetics. * 5104CO9A LECTURE Time * 5104CO9B LECTURE Motion * 5105C21 LECTURE Introduction to Science of Survival 1
