Hi BS

Off the top of my head - or thereabouts, this seems a metaphor for a
state of being, reached through assiduous and successful application
of hubbard tech. The implication being that extraordinary, enhanced
and potent states of awareness are accessible to CoS ubermenschen.
All part and parcel of the grandious dualist 'exteriorization' dog
and pony show.

Vide Castenada or Hildegard of Bingen...

It's supposed to be a Good Thing.

Helped you archive your post again. Boy you're getting sloppy.

Yes. Just one of the many reasons I've opposed this organisation for
more than forty years.

That's from some of one the three books 0-8, 8-80 or 8-800, unless it comes
from D55 or so.

R1- 4: BE THREE FEET BACK OF YOUR HEAD
The command 'Be three feet back of your head' should be given casually, and
if immediately obeyed the auditor with no further discussion should then go
on to R1- 5. If there is any argument after this command is given, or if
the preclear cannot quite understand what is occurring and does not do so,
then it is indicated that the auditor switch routes and without further
argument on the subject of exteriorization continue the session with R2-
16.
L Ron Hubbard, The Creation of Human Ability, 1954

This is part of a rambling "procedure" designed to wear the "preclear" down
into a state of compliance with anything the "auditor" demands, imho,
although $cientologists generally disagree with this analysis.

Ever yours in fandom,
