Remarkable document, thanks for posting it.
The release of this new "CLEAR PROCEDURE" was the de facto replacement for Dianetics which was published as DMSMH 8 years earlier in 1950. Hubbard's procedure to make "Clears" via engram running was a miserable failure, yet Hubbard continued reaping millions for those 8 year by selling a product he knew full well was a hoax.
Hubbard confessed at a 1958 filmed Congress that Dianetics did not produce a clear. Hubbard himself never achieved Clear but he had no problem blinklessly looking people in the eye and taking their money for it. It makes complete sense (now in retrospect) that Hubbard would so courageously admit that Dianetics was not a science at all and that there were no Clears---OF COURSE he happily admitted that in 1958 when his new book "Clear Procedure" went on sale.
Clear Procedure courses also went on sale.
And expensive auditing with the miraculous new "Clear Procedure" went on sale as well.
And even after admitting that DMSMH didn't work Hubbard continued selling the book for a full 36 years---as well as Dianetic Courses and Dianetic auditing. It's on sale right now at the 100% totally standard Ideal Org near you!
This is the "CYCLE OF SCIENTOGY".
Find the miraculous cure for "X" and sell it. When you can't sell it any more, create the even better miraculous cure for "X" and sell that instead, assuring customers that it's really wonderful that the previous cure didn't work because we wouldn't have the ultimate miraculous NEW cure. Anyone need another example? Okay OT III. It cured all demon spirits.
Until OT IV was on sale.
Until OT VII and OT III Expanded was on sale.
Until OT V (NOTS) went on sale.
Until OT VIII went on sale.
Until OT VIII went on sale.
Any ex-Scientologist should be able to easily come up with another two dozen examples.
What's that you say? You are too lazy and beg me for one more example. Okay. . .
STUDENT HAT cures all study.
Until Method 1 Word Clearing goes on sale.
Until the PRD goes on sale.
Until the Study Rundown goes on sale
Until the KEY TO LIFE goes on sale.
Until the Golden Age of Tech Student Hat goes on sale.
Until the Purif and re-train on Student hat goes on sale.
I could go on, somebody acknowlege me!!! LOL

I read some of this...
At the end of the intro: "The work was free. Keep it so. " Heh, heh...good one, Ron.
There is talk of 'obsessive mock-up making' which is a perfect synopsis of the whole history of Scientology tech which always promised Clear at the end of the rainbow.

Hubbard seems to be tirelessly conditioning the reader to believe that exteriorization is an automatic result of Scientology processing whereas those who spent decades trying to achieve that state would tell you that it is not.
From page 18: "long experience that one never changes the process just because somebody compulsively exteriorizes. S-C -S is probably more susceptible to compulsive exteriorization than any other single process, and as it is run preclears fly into their heads and out of them at a great rate and eventually get to a state quite ordinarily where they can move into the head or out of the head at will."
All part of the hypnosis, if you read it enough it becomes a certainty, "number of times through equals certainty". Yet B.S. it remained.

YES!
Millions upon millions of words dedicated to the goal of Scientology- - -
To rehabilitate beings so that they can easily exteriorize and "operate" outside the body. This, Hubbard guarantees is:
-- quite simple and routinely achieved
-- empowering a being with supernatural powers (e.g. healing, immortality, et al)
The truth turned out to be that exteriorization was in fact:
-- quite simply never achieved
-- degrading a being to indoctrinate them that only DBs cannot exteriorize
Hubbard simply made up millions of words to support the lie that he had mastered exteriorization. It is a matter of hard historical fact that Hubbard, his wife and all his followers could not exteriorize.
As with all miraculous powers in Scientology-----Scientologists can define the word "exteriorize". They can use it in sentences. They can move around some batteries and paper clips to show you how it works. Then can also clay demo it for you. They are extraordinarily able to do all these things. They just are not able to exteriorize.

I read some of this. Seems very familiar. I guess this was chopped up into HCOB's at some point?
"RULE: A PC'S FACSIMILES ARE NOT STORED, THEY ARE MADE IN THE INSTANT AND UNMADE BY THE PC, therefore remedy of mock-ups AND THEIR PERSISTENCE, is actually a direct route to clear and winds up with no obsessive mock-up making (which we call a bank).
...
A TOTAL REMEDY OF MOCK-UPS WOULD MAKE A BOOK ONE CLEAR."
There's my clear cog. At the time I believed I had "realized" this, but I'm sure I must have read it, either here or in several other places where Ron lays it out.

Also, in early days, there was "one-shot Clear" with the auditing command "be three feet back of your head".
(I don't have any HCOB date for this... or maybe this was before HCOBs.)

In Chapter 12 of "Barefaced Messiah," a woman named Carmen D'Alessio recalls LRH giving her this command in London in September 1952 (which is before HCOB's). I think I may have seen an even earlier mention, but don't know where now.
I think this is actually a sort of catalepsy test, as in hypnosis. The hypnotist will tell the subject he can't open his eyes or can't move his arm, etc., and if he tries and he can't, then he's hypnotized. If the pc could do this command LRH went, "Ha! Gotcha!"
In COHA (Creation of Human Ability) pc's who could do this command went onto the Route One processes, which were very "OT" -- "Be near the sun. Now be near the moon," etc. -- and those who couldn't got Route Two, objectives like Op Pro by Dup.

It was designated "Route 1" in the book Creation Of Human Ability (1954). Everything else in scientology is basically for the lesser beings who can't achieve Clear on Route 1.

What came as quite a surprise to me at the time was back when I was on volunteer staff the summer after my junior year in high school (1972) a guy was just shooting the breeze with me at the reception desk that I was manning and slipped in the "be 3 feet back..." and I went out the back of my head and panicked so much that I pulled myself back in after just seconds of being out. I only viewed a grey streaked black landscape and nothing more while feeling like a baby bird that fell out of the nest and didn't know how to fly. So the biggest goal I had as an early Scientologist had now been achieved and turned out to be a terrifying bum experience! To this day I've never exteriorized again though I tried and I've tried back in my clam days. Was it an illusion? I doubt it having been there for it. And I'd only read a couple of basic books, so I'd never been exposed to the command. It just took me entirely by surprise. Not much of a science when it only works once in a blue moon.

I remember as a teen reading Route 1 and Route 2....and feeling excited with the possibility that I would be one of the lucky 50% of mankind that would so easily exteriorize with just 7 words.
"Be 3 feet back of your head".
Hubbard later discovered that it would require more than 7 words. So he wrote ten million words.
But people still could not exteriorize. No one.
Thus he ingeniously began different combinations of those 10M words, experimenting with sentences of varying lengths and moving the words around in infinite combinations.
But people still could not exteriorize. No one.
That's when Ron discovered an entirely new technology, which he sold to all Scientologists. It was called "THE EXTERIORIZATION RUNDOWN" -- or "Int/Ext Rundown" for short.
The "INT" rundown was not a remedy to fix the fact that nobody ever exteriorized on his "one shot clear" commands. It was a rundown to repair and erase all the CHARGE beings acquired from going exterior.
At this point you are certainly wondering to yourself: "WHY WOULD RON SELL A RUNDOWN TO REPAIR THE EFFECTS OF EXTERIORIZATION WHEN NOBODY WENT EXTERIOR?"
When Scientologists ultimately began to discover the answer to that question, they finally became able to exteriorize (from Scientology).

I recall reading that.
It's amazing how his rhetoric worked. It worked on me, I thought he knew what he was talking about, he seemed logical. I reckon a bunch of others thought so to.

Interesting, especially about Israel Regardie being a student of Crowley's as it was his book "The Secret Doctrines of the Rosicrucian's" which preceded and lead me to Scientology. I had no idea of his Crowley connection though it makes perfect sense.
Prior to the "Be three feet back..." incident I had experienced vertigo only once while up in the St. Louis Arch with it swaying in the wind. I could ride my unicycle till the wheel fell off and wasn't at all prone to vertigo.
The incident with the "exteriorization" was an instantaneous whoosh, I'm out back, I notice that everything looks dark with grayish streaks, then I start frantically pulling to get back in w/o being able to stop myself until I'm back. I was seated at the time so I wouldn't say offhand that vertigo explains it.
Remember, I'm one who will say there were snippets of workability in Scientology that were mixed with and melded to lies to put money in Hubbard's pockets.
If an organization gleefully fleeces it's public by shaking them upside down for every dollar they have and will ever have while willfully plunging them into dire poverty, it is one fucking evil organization. And Scientology is and was. So by saying that something of theirs's once worked on me I'm not endorsing them by any means. Hubbard was a "lie weaver" and could weave a lie into anything.
If there's a dispute about whether or not we are spiritual beings in the first place who would even be capable of such feats, I can't help there as there seems to be differing types of beings in our midst in this realm.
But still, it could have been "meant" to induce a sense of vertigo by Hubbard, certainly!

Lots of threads on old ESMB on the topic and related topics. There's no search function at the moment, but the google search engine can be used to search.
Randomly chosen, here are two:
Soul travel, etc.
Exteriorization vs disassociation
Millions or billions of people over time have had transcendental, peak, satori or however you want to describe it type experiences. Ascribing scientific explanations to all such experience is a possibility but not a necessity imo. The more you try to "figure it out" the more it tends toward scientific materialism which is fine if that's where someone wants to be.

I think one of the terms used to describe it is 'religious experience', which doesn't sound very materialistic. For all my materialism and reductionism I confess that I had a couple of those 'experiences' in my early twenties and they had nothing to do with drugs, meditation or scientology, but they were profound and I've never forgotten them.
At the time I didn't know what to make of them, but I've since learned (or accepted) that it's all down to chemical changes in the brain although at the time they felt very other-wordly.
