THE JOURNAL OF SCIENTOLOGY Issue 15-G [ 1953, ca. May] Published by The Hubbard Association of Scientologists, Inc. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania “The Old Man’s Case-Book” L. Ron Hubbard (The following material is an extract from the case-books of Dr. Hubbard or advice he has given in letters or personally to auditors concerning the running of cases.) Mr. Brennan, HPA (Gt. Britain), phoned me concerning the treatment of an eighteen-months-old baby expected to live one week according to medical opinion. Medicine as usual had given up the case and the family as well, evidently, as the family doctor had insisted that a consulting Scientologist be brought in. The baby was conscious and fairly alert. Mr. Brennan was informed that this is a very trying type of case and results on it are not within reasonable expectancy. He was informed of procedures as follows: Leukaemia is evidently psychosomatic in origin and at least eight cases of leukaemia had been treated successfully by Dianetics after medicine had traditionally given up. The source of leukaemia has been reported to be an engram containing the phrase “It turns my blood to water.” The reduction of an engram in an eighteen-months-old baby by Dianetics is, of course, impossible; therefore keying out procedures or automatic type running or direct communication with the thetan are indicated. The first procedure Mr. Brennan was given was to have the baby get two anchor points in present time. This to be done with tactile and the baby’s hands. The theory of this is, of course, that contact with present time is contact with the material universe. By slightly agitating, pleasantly or unpleasantly, the fingers of the baby, thus attracting his attention to his fingers for a period of time—at least two or more hours— there is a possibility that the baby could be brought into present time. This, of course, is a key-out of an engram. The second procedure given Mr. Brennan was a somewhat imaginative one based upon the conduct of two mocked up matched terminals. The MEST universe is a two terminal universe; by having one object of everything there is no discharge of the environment; thus the MEST universe remains constant. By mocking up two terminals facing each other, both the same, a preclear often experiences physical reaction and the charge on that type of terminal can be found to dissipate without the preclear knowing what has happened. This is a limited technique used in assists. In this case it was suggested that two effigies made out of pillows and clothes or two dolls similar to the baby be placed in sight of the baby, facing each other, and that the baby’s attention be permitted to rest on these two objects. By doing this, there is a faint chance that the charge on the baby itself might discharge automatically. The third technique consisted of a type of processing used on animals. The basis of this is that man’s health is proportional to his belief in his dangerousness to his environment. Animals are processed by building up in them the belief that they are Copyright(©) 1953 by L. Ron Hubbard. All Rights Reserved.
