Cap and Bells? Or White Coats? (continued)

ount of courage it would take to go into a strange, occupied bedroom and turn on the lights... Get the amount of courage it would take if someone did that to you... (P.C.: "I didn't know you were supposed to run courage in brackets?")... Special bulletin from Camden giving permission just for tonight... Put out in front of you the courage it would take to steal a child's candy... to push the child into the gutter while his father watched... Put behind you the amount of courage it took to tell your wife or husband you were going to take this course... Put below you the courage it would take to stand up before an audience of blind mice and make a speech... Any communication change?... (P.C.: "A decided change.")... Who decided it?... Get the courage it would take to stand up before a group of strangers and tell them what you know about Scientology... Get the courage it'd take to stand before a strange group and demonstrate all you know about the Second Dynamic... Any perception change?... Any of you more certain about anything?... Good. Looks like a static: we're neither going up or down. 0. K., all you operating thetans, let's mock up an audience of Hubbards and give them a speech on Brahms. Tell them why you like Brahms, knowing you're going to be zapped after the first sentence... Put above you the courage it would take to face a political convention and try to stop the parading through the aisles with prayer... Mock up the courage it would take to walk down the streets of a deserted city at midnight stark naked... Through a crowd at high noon... Mock it up in big gobs and duplicate it... Wrap it around your nakedness...

Get the courage it would take to face all mankind in nothing but your bones and convince them you are as able as they are... Mock yourself up as a strange creature from a strange planet and get the courage it would take to convince homo sapiens you were sane and human...

Put in front of you the courage it would take to climb a fence into a yard with a sign that said: "Beware of the dog"... Put behind you the courage it would take to ride a strange horse that had just thrown an expert rider ... Get the courage it would take to shoe a horse... To swat a fly... To eat a fly... To stick your arm in the cage of a lion... To snap the head off a snake... To photograph a wild rhinoceros... To take a kitten away from a child...

Put to your left the courage it would take to drive across a desert on a hot day... Put to your right the courage it would take to walk across the desert... To walk through a neighbor's flower garden... Get the courage it would take to walk through a field of ripe wheat when you could see no horizon ... To walk through a jungle of bulrushes when you can't see your feet ... To swim in a strange river... To strand yourself on an iceberg ... Put behind you the courage it would take to buy a ticket to the moon, knowing you might get there... To spend a night in a house you've been told is haunted... Get the courage it would take if you, like Aladdin, found a lamp with a genie in it... Feel the courage it would take to make the first wish... To make the last wish, knowing there were no more.

Get the courage it would take to find yourself newly exteriorized and in the company of a bunch of operating thetans... Get the courage to face the Biblical God if you should discover there is one and confess you're a doubter... Get the courage it would take to go into a crowded church and tell them they're wrong... Get the courage it would take to tear down a cross... To rip a Bible to pieces on a street corner... Get the courage it would take to put your feet on the floor... Any reality? Any communication change? Ain't nothing happened to nobody?... All right. We'll start at the top of the eight dynamics and put nobility where you've just been putting courage. (20 second pause)... Time's up... Are you going too fast for me?...

Name three persons who aren't laughing with you ... Three who aren't laughing for you... Three who aren't taking this session seriously, and please don't name anyone in this room...

Close your eyes... Put your left hand on the chair in front of you... Put your right hand on the chair in front of you ... Put your other hand on the chair behind you... Now, withdraw the other hand... Withdraw the left hand ... Withdraw
