But both pre-clears insisted on a re-run and after several hours of trying to dissuade them from further dianetic experimentation, I promised to give each an additional round. This was done that a.m. sans sleep, and "Y" spent two and a half hours in therapy during which time several lines were explored and cleared according to prescription --- as much as possible in one session. Trouble started when that session was over and "Y" wanted to sit in on "X's" session. i told him there'd been enough of public sessions; however he was unreasonably disturbed by this prohibition. While I was auditing "X," "Y" went hunting an interim auditor, and after trying to persuade Degler to audit him, and then approached one of the more famed dianetics disciples, whom I shall call "Z", "Z" assumed that "Y" was merely delirious from lack of food and sleep, and only after much insistence did he run him through a perfunctory auditing session. Afterward he and friends returned "Y" who was by this time in a state of complete hysterical collapse, to his room, where I had just finished auditing "X". They left him at the door and I carried him into the room. He acted as if he were still in reverie, and complained of severe somatics. It took almost an hour to quiet him. I finally got hold of "Z" for consultation. "Z" did not seem to think the situation serious, so I ran "Y"through a couple of brief pleasure incidents until the rather persistent somatics had been removed. This was an experience I should hardly like to repeat. I have not dealt with pronounced hysterics before, and probably half of what I did was wrong. Mr. Hubbard says repeatedly that his therapeutic method is harmless and can in any case be practiced by novices, providing they follow the simple rules. He also states that Dianetics can restimulate heart attacks, hysteria, arthritis, skin rash, colds, etc. Will the novice who hasn't even read the book (or who has) know what to do in such cases? It is my opinion that the practice and study of dianetics should be restricted to trained experts, at least until its harmlessness has been verified by more trustworthy sources. As for myself, I do plan to continue being audited, in spite of the fact that so far I have gotten absolutely no noteworthy results. So much for that. WeSTar expects to devote one forthcoming issue to a debate on the subjdct, after which we shall pay less attention to it, until or unless new and verified data is offered. ON DIACYBERSEMNETIMANTICS. . . . . . . If you have a highly iconoclastic sense of humor and are not particularly sensitive on subjects of propriety; if you look askance at such things as miracle mind cures, Korean police actions, religious revivals, flying saucers and Shaver mysteries; in all if you are not squeamish in your taste for satire, then you will probably get a kick out of the magazine, INCINERATIONS, available from 9109 SW Oleson Road, Portland 19, Oregon. The third issue was distributed at the convention, and met with many loud complaints about the questionable taste of some of its contents. We were not much impressed with the Confidential Report but the main body of ICIN was in our opinion, brilliant. Our main point in mentioning it here was that the same guys, Forrest C.
