Fixed Ideas

Introduction: Did you know that our failures are often just ideas we have forbidden to change? In this masterly lecture, discover how we 'fix' the past at the expense of our present. Learn how to restore your power of judgment so that you are no longer the effect of your old decisions, but the creator of your future.

Regarding Fixed Ideas

For Easter, there is a special lecture: Fixed Ideas.

It is a complete lecture and a valuable training for you as a thetan. Topics include postulates, intention, decision-making ability, invalidation, and exteriorization (leaving the body – with or without perceptions).

The lecture is a wonderful summary of free thinking and how to deal with fixed ideas.

I recommend that you study this lecture. It is included as an attachment, but you can also listen to it on sciento.org. There, the English and German transcripts are displayed simultaneously – a great tool! A short guide can be found below.

Fixed Ideas

Full lecture available here, given by L. Ron Hubbard during the 6th ACC in London, the 6. June 1959

Here are a few excerpts:

Now, the earlier on the track, the greater the power to make an intention or postulate stick. And when one had the intention of making them stick and the intention boomeranged, of course, one couldn't admit he was wrong, so he made the intention stick someplace – and there he is. So as he goes down the track years and years and years go by, lives and lives go by, and one fine day, why, he finds himself with an address book full of dames and a tremendous establishment and a gold-plated Cadillac and mystifies everybody by committing suicide, you see? He made his own postulate stick, but he did it by sort of flipping valence, you see, and going along the line. And he became very obsessed with this thing. A thetan very easily becomes obsessed with making his postulate stick.

If you want to drive any thetan berserk simply convince him by any necromancy or libelmancy or psychromancy, that his postulates aren't sticking. Rig up something which betrays him, one way or the other.

…

Fixed ideas. Aberration, as we know it, could loosely be defined as a fixed idea of non-survival importance. A fixed idea of non-survival importance is an aberration. That's a loose definition. A better definition, more technical, would be a fixed idea which is apparently unchangeable by the person himself and is inapplicable to his environment. And we get into various psychiatric conundrums and philosophic balderdash, and so forth, of the years of searching out the mysteries of Man and so forth.

…

When one no longer has any confidence in himself, one no longer trusts himself, then he adapts various ownership crisscrosses – ideas that things won't as-is if you no longer know their ownership. You see, that's a fixed idea, too. Then he can say, "Well, by no longer owning up to this thing, why, I'm all set." That's trust in self and that has to do with simply the fixing of postulates. And when he does not feel he is any longer capable of fixing postulates, all he does after that is, of course, is distrust.
