operator what material is producing the strongest reaction, and he will of
course zero in. And remember that the subject can see his face at all times
and his face is being photographed. As the Peeping Tom said, the most
frightening thing is fear in your own face. If the subject becomes too
disturbed we have peace and safety tapes ready.

Now here is a sex tape: This consists of a sex scene acted out by the ideal
sexual object of the subject and his ideal self image. Shown straight it
might be exciting enough, now scramble it. It makes a few seconds for
scrambled tapes to hatch out, and then? can scrambled sex tapes zeroing
in on the subject's reactions and brain waves result in spontaneous orgasm?
Can this be extended to other functions of the body? A mike secreted in the
water closet and all his shits and farts recorded and scrambled in with stern
nanny voices commanding him to shit, and the young liberal shits his pants on
the platform right under Old Glory. Could laugh tapes, sneeze tapes,
hiccough tapes, cough tapes, give rise to laughing sneezing, hiccoughing, and
coughing?



To what extent extent can physical illness be induced by scrambled tapes?
Take for example, a sound and color picture of a subject with a cold. Later,
when the subject is fully recovered, we take color and sound film of
recovered subject. We now scrambled the cold pictures and sound track in
with present pictures on present pictures. We also project the cold
pictures on present pictures. Now we try using some of Mr. Hubbard's
reactive mind phrases which are supposed in themselves to produce illness. To
be me, to be you, to stay here, to stay there, to be a body, to be bodies, to
stay present, to stay past. now we scramble this in together and show it to
the subject. Could seeing and hearing this sound and image track, scrambled
down to very small units, bring about an attack of cold virus? Is such a cold
tape does actually produce an attack of cold virus, perhaps we have merely
activated a latent virus. Many viruses, as you know, are latent in the
body and may be activated. We can try the same with coldsore, with hepatitis,
always remembering that we may be activating a latent virus and in no sense
creating a laboratory virus. However, we may be in a position to do this. Is
a virus perhaps simply very small units of sound and image? Remember
the only image a virus has is the image and sound track it can impose on
you. The yellow eyes of jaundice, the postules of smallpox, etc. imposed on
you against your will. The same is certainly true of scrambled word and image
it can make you unscramble. Take a card, any card. This does not mean that it
is actually a virus. Perhaps to construct a laboratory virus we would need
both camera and sound crew and a biochemist as well. I quote from the
INTERNATIONAL PARIS TRIBUNE an article on the synthetic gene: "Dr. Har
Johrd Khorana has made a gene-synthetic."


"It is the beginning of the end," this was the immediate reaction to this
news from the science attache' at one of Washington's major embassies. "If
you can make genes you can eventually make new viruses for which there are no
