 PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION
I. PREFACE
Psychological warfare may be organized in the
(a) Attacking the enemy with the means of
mass psychology.
(b) Shaping friendly forces for the pur-
pose of attaining higher performance, positive attitude,
and defense against alien, negative influence.
(a) Reinforcing the positive attitude of
military and technical personnel on the one hand and
of the command (perhaps also of vital defense industry
personnel and their leadership) on the other hand.
(d) Creation and training of a command
setup which is to execute the above tasks; creation of
an implementing body which is to disseminate the neces-
sary principles from the top down.
The manuscript at hand deals mainly with points
(o) and (d) above. It illustrates the possibility for
shaping the attitude of troops and specialists (through
elimination of undesirable, negative traits and through
development of desirable, positive qualities) and for
the training of a staff' which is to translate the pro-
gram outlined into action.
 "outside" toward the "inside" (the usual way of props-
ganda and indoctrination); it can also produce the de-
sired changes from out of the depth of the psyche. The
manuscript at hand deals primarily with this latter way.
It should be remembered however that all the other
points and principles mentioned above must also be con-
sidered in keeping with psychologically valid laws.
The main topic touches on or directly deals with
the following fields.
(1) Psychological indoctrination and basic
training in Weltanschauung.
(2) Toughening the subconscious and the
(3) Adaptation of the psyche and the nerves
to meet higher or special requirements (e.g,, special
technical assignments).
(4) Creation of a disposition toward the
solution of difficult technical tasks or dangerous as-
signments.
(5) Psychosomatic problems in medical care.
(6) Prevention and therapy of psychoses.
(7) Elimination of undesirable traits.

(8) Development of desirable qualities.
(9) Handling of accidents and disasters
and their prevention through subconsciously correct
attitudes.
(10) "Psychological Strategy."
(11) Defense.
(12) Disciplinary and criminal law problems.
III. ORGANIZATION OF "PSYCHOLOGICAL PREPARATION"
Psychological preparation may be organized in
(a) Preparation of curricula based on
psychological laws, aiming for better understanding
and assimilation of subject matter.
(b) Creation of a corresponding mentality
within the limits envisaged, running from "top" to
"bottom."
(c) Testing for abilities in certain fields
of endeavor, i.e., aptitude tests, personality tests for
job applicants and candidates for promotion and for
certain special units or specific tasks.
(d) Treatment employing psychological siigle

(e) Special process for the development of
a special attitude which may be desirable or necessary
(cf. East Asian "exercises" and "engrams" of the assas-
sins).
Cr) Psychological preparation.
A. Healthy individuals.
(1) Elimination of the usual human
(2) Implantation of desirable
Elimination of complexes, inhibitions,
disturbances, psychoses, etc.
C. Special units.
(1) Elimination of undesirable or
negative traits or attitudes which may affect the ac-
complishment of the mission.
(2) Development of special desirable
or necessary abilities required by the mission for a
more or less extended period of time.

 V. MA1tUSCR- t 6 CHI+PTERS )
There is a methodology -- beyond all specula-
tion -- which, through the force of the tendency to
follow a fundamental law unaffected by external vari-
ables and in a purely "psychologically-causative"
manner, creates the conviction that any goal on earth
can be attained through it. (This refers of course
only to goals which.do no' lose themselves in utopia
or stem from self-delusi.. as to one's prospects and
possibilities.) We have.here a system which undeniably
bears the stamp of genuineness and truth upon initial
contact and through which can take place any and all
transformctions of the human being as well as a re-
versal of :ate, of the "existing situation," of forces
and counterforces, and of such. factors as result in
destiny. This methodology can literally make a hero
cut of a coward, a resolute man out of an indecisive
vaverer, and an industrious eager beaver out of a lazy
pleasure se?3ker. The question as to which of these
alternat'ves is the "worse" is not up for discussion
here.) The system can alao make an iron man out of a
s:ckly bag of bones and a "lucky dog" out of a "sad
s:,ck." It cnn do mare than that; through this chain
of processes certain talents can be developed and cer-
tain abilitlss ca:. ie anahured in the "depth of the
personality" 3s peemanent pt rts of a human being.

It is the very compliance with the few principles
making up the essence of this rethodology which charac-
terizes the sysi,cm as "depth psychology armament" --
almost "despite" its clarity and its readily available
proofs -- that is, if we reduce it to one common "de-
nominator."
This system can give us power and the ability to
achieve; it can create the requirements on the basis of
which above-average successes and all desired riches
car, be won.
. Some parts of this method have been tested for
many centuries; others belong to the rather less known
The thorou6h description of this method within
Lae range of. our interpretation and its completion with
the help of new irgredients -- so far unknown or known
in their initial :cages only -- are capable of pushing
the results of tt.13 system almost into the realm of
the unmeasured unmeasurable.
Let us study and thoroughly assimilate the laws
of the mind and the psyche so that we may immediately
proceed to forget them -- at least outwardly. If we
can anchor these laws deep down within ourselves, we
shall be able to produce the proper action in keeping
with our goals because all thinking and all action are
 'subconsciously" governed by them. We have seen many
times that the "basis" of man is a mental one. Our
primary task therefore is to "get hep" to the cosmos
and everything else that is in it --.after we have
"wiped out the separating barriers."
To this end man possesses not only an earthly
and material body to which corresponds the normal state
of waking, but this body also has at its disposal a
force which is proved by the play of its muscles. Man
also possesses certain special, "spiritual and mental"
units and forces as proved by the exercises described
in this series of books 5i], various yoga systems,
and in the occidental "autogenous training" of profes-
sor Schultz.
This definition corresponds to the modern theory
of depth psychology which subordinates the superego to
the earthly, which knows an interim ego, a subconscious,
and a "collective subconscious" with its "archaic forms.'-
A. "The psychological personality must make use
of the organic subconscious if it wants to bring about
results affecting the physical performance and structure
of the body. We were also informed of the activity "or
a so to speak hidden intelligence, a quasimental prin-
ciple, a force thinking and acting with the ultimate
goal in mind in all organic growth, in all develop-
mental and production processes." !,et us at. thij ppv,t: t

keep in mind yet another opinion which will be useful
in our further work. Doctor Casaretto, director of the
Krefeld Institute of Clinical Psychology, stated the
following. "In the psyche.)logical depths of the human
personality lie the hidden power sources needed in the
healing of the psyche and the body. Psychosomatic
treatment can be called upon not only in the case of
the psychologically induced illnesses of organic neu-
roses but also in serious organic illnesses which until
now have resisted all types of treatment."
B. As "dweller in 2 worlds," man possesses e
fundamentally and organically separate systems; his
earthly body and his psyche. Both entities -- body
and psyche -- are interconnected; only death :cparates
them. The fundamentals of the interplay between body
and psyche have thus been proved.
Only this "interconnection," this interplay
between one part (the psyche) and the other part (the
body) can explain this separation of the psyche from
the body (found on pilgrimmages for instance in the
form of spiritual ecstasy); only this can explain
"faith healing" because the "transformation" of the
psyche effects a change in the body (return to health).
Here we tap sources of strength which are usually
beyond our imagination; these sources of strength are
as all-powerful as heaven itself.

 Later we shall see that this "spontaneous faith
healing," these transformations, can be artificially
reproduced under certain conditions.
C. We know that the various stages of conscious-
ness, which unleash certain corresponding forces, can
be reproduced experimentally.
The great psychologist Sehleich arrived at the
conclusion that "beneath outer consciousness lie the
creative forces" which we can manipulate during sleep,
under hypnosis, or in some other way.
CHAPTER 3. THE "PHOENIX" IN US
1.
Aa we continue with our research we must fa-
miliarize ourselves with an idea which is of consider-
able significance to our study of ourselves, to our
destiny, and to this entire effort. We are unshake-
ably convinced -- supported by an adequate number of
valid arguments -- that man has life and death all pre-
destined for him within a certain framework.
Man can fill in this frame through his own voli-
tion; the beginning and end however are predestined
and determined according to Karma.
We have all heard of many accidents in which
eountles3 people perished but we also, just as often,
have heard about accidents in which people miraculously
escaped unscathed.
 ' Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
We have all heard about dangerous operations
which often take the life of many a young person in his
prime, while older people often pull through if their
number did not happen to be up.
In these oases it is often explained that the
"old man" under the knife was just plain tough or that
professor X happened to have been a top-notch surgeon.
As far as we are concerned, the fact remains that one
fellow died against all expectations, while the other
one pulled through -- against all expectations. In these
"coincidences" we can see the hand of destiny against
whose will "no leaf can fall from the tree."
And there are the countless tales of terrible
privations and hardships suffered at the same time by
a group of people of whom one part (by no means just
the older group members) died of "exhaustion," while
the other part (by no means the younger members only)
came through. The survivors would often sleep for days
on end after their ordeal and then awaken, their strength
fully restored, as if nothing had happened. Here too
people have an explanation ready: some of the group
members just happened to be tougher than others.
This, to be sure, is an explanation of sorts.
But it does not satisfy us, for we are always looking
for the "roots," the esoteric.
Many of us can tell from personal experience how
serious illness is often followed by soothing sleep which
 upon awakening, instead of the expected high fever,
brings back good health, new strength, and good mood.
This cannot be doubted; according to almost un-
fathomable laws a secret force has been at work during
the sleeping hours, at night; this force has routed the
"ghosts" of illness and has brought back good health.
t.
We know that man is not merely a skeleton hung
with flesh, veins, and nerves; he also has a "psyche."
And we also know that this psyche has several layers:
the superego and the interim ego is followed by the
subconscious; then come the collective unconscious and
additional deeper consciousness states of which we have
already spoken.
Basically however we are concerned here with
the fact that in the nucleus of these psyche layers
:.here exists a "central bud" which governs physical,
psychological, and mental events as well as sickness
and health, life and death.
As we stated before, professor Brauchle calls
this "controlling seed" a "quasimental principle," a
force "thinking and acting with the ultimate goal in
view." The various psyche layers of man correspond to
certain states of consciousness. He who can reproduce
these separate consciousness states can also manipulate
the corresponding psyche layers, yes, even the "primary
bud" which regulates and governs all; he who can de

 The "medicine man" of a native tribe deep in
the African jungle may bring about "faith healing"
through suggestions and special drugs; the apprentice
of this "sorcerer" may have "burned" into him lifelong
"engrams" (i.e., results affecting the layers down
into the depths of his psyche) through special drugs
or "conjurations" (suggestions); the hypnotizer of a
medium may force the psyche to leave the body in a
sleep-walking (cataleptic) state and "take action" as
ordered; a powerful exaltation (ecstasy: the psyche
stepping outside itself) may lay bare the very deepest
layers of the psyche, be influenced in a wondrous man-
ner and pass all this on to the body ("faith healing").
No matter what happens, all these effects are the re-
sult of the same identical primary force, the "primary
bud," the "hidden power source" of Casaretto, the
"quasimental principle" of Brauchle, or whatever else
The "primary bud," the Phoenix in us, corresponds
to the deepest (or "highest') consciousness state --
ecstasy -- which may unfold and take effect in 2 ways:
the psyche may "step outside itself" and may be pol-
linated by external cosmic forces according to expecta-
tion and volition, or there may take place a process of
"reaching way down deep" in which strength is drawn
from the "central directing bud," the "Phoenix" in us.

This latter strength manifestation in called "samadhi"
The germ of life which develops into the embryo
contains all Karma prerequisites, likewise in germ
form; these prerequisites can be changed only if the
(primary) life germ itself is given other directives.
However, the environment also obeys the cosmic
laws and is subJect to changes, i.e., specially. altered
reactions. For in-'ance we may be received somewhere
in a most cordial ranner, while the last time we dropped
in we were almost thrown out (or vice versa). Similarly,
the surroundings of a striving individual may change -
almost imperceptibly, though inexorably -- for better
or 4orse. We said before that heredity and environment
determine behavior. We can formulate this in a dif-
ferent way: heredity and behavior create and shape the
environment. All of us receive the kind of environment
which corr^sponds to uur Karma (inherited) and acquired
charecteria,.ics (talents, hidden desires, etc).
The third version of course comes about in the
following manner. The environment and behavior are
the results of heredity. This completes the circle.
As we said before however the environment is subject
to - ., de% opmenttel and changing influence of the
cos.: .,a. environment is the land on which we live the l,nd which is t.-neatened by thunderstorms or Jan be

 shakes its citizens. The environment is represented
by the nations around us; they too affect us through
their Karma law..
As we have seen in the preceding section, every
individual in the course of his life acquires a certain
manner of reacting to internal or external stimuli;

as these "mechanics" of feeling, think-

come about.. Destiny itself cannot be
changed by su- "external" stimuli; for instance, a
person may sq ender the winnings from a sweepstakes
ticket and ret,.rn to his old environment -- one of
limitations and dependence. Really decisive, permanent
changes in life cane about only as the consequence of
inner changes, of the "change" in the "mechanics" of
behavior. Here we again face the same old difficulty:
we must realize that our reactions and the actions
springing from them are "false" -- that is to say,
false, not in the subjective or objective sense, but
false in the sense of the objective we have selected
for ourselves.
 In recent centuries certain forces were isolated
which, with the help of depth psychology, seek to at-
tain dogmatic or earthly objectives.
We shall describe a few of these methods here --
at least the most significant ones and insofar as they
were basically on the right track. We shall do so in
order Co make it possible for the reader to evaluate
and judge the "psychological preparation" method which
will be discussed later.
A. Exercises of Loyola (sixteenth century)
B. Lifetime "engrams" of the "assassin" sect
(eleventh century)
C. Modern "psyche robbers" (twentieth century)
P. "Technology and magic" (twentieth century)
(Starting point: the situation described iii
Vol VII /5icJ which connects technology with magic.)
The reader will realize that we did not proceed
chronologically in drawing up this list which, by the
way, will make little sense to him at this point.
There is a good reason for this.
The beat thing to do is to start with the first
point (A), i.e., the exercises of St. Ignatius of I.oycle.

litical, or religious factors involved in the develop-
ment of the systems listed; we are interested solely
in technique and "function" (methodology). We have
left out everything that is of secondary importance --
especially in view of the space limitations -- so that
we may now tackle the primary factors.
The procedures listed may at the same time serve
as exercise material for the interested reader. We
immediately recognize the "real structure" in the clear
and concise manner of our experimental technique. We
can do without the superfluous details; we need not
beat around the bush; we need not "dodge" these findings
and d-scoveries -- insofar as they were attainable at
all Sic.
The Exercises of Loyola
(The following paragraphs are designed to give
the uninitiated an idea of the psychological result
methodology, as far as this is possible in a theoretical
fashion.)
(1) The depth effect of suggestions is sought
through the always prescribed "immersion" -- the separa-
tion of psyche from body.
(2) The spiritual effect is stepped up through
a certain increase in the withdrawal from consciousness,
as illustrated in the next point.
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
(3) A sort of "trance" -- brought about through
devoted concentration and supplying the best soil for
the pollination and anchoring of suggestions --
practically sears the suggestions into the individual
through imagination (vivid picturization, using other
senses beside the visual sense).
(4) Six points constitute the systematic struc-
ture of psychological influence which is subdivided
into the elimination of all that is undesirable (dis-
dain of negative things, purging) and implantation of
positive things (success, attainment of desirable
things). The successes actually speak for the urgency,
value, and use of the method.
(a) Principles. Every activity, every
minute of every day, is scheduled with a view to the
final goal. The day is divided into certain periods
which are separated by breaks (altogether 5 hours).
The exercises include establishment of the objective,
certainty as to its attainability, contriteness in
connection with things conflicting with the goal,
strict control over violations several times during
the day, and punishment for violations interfering
with the attainment of the objective. Then the in-
dividual turns away from contrition and concentrates
on the conviction that the goal can be attained.
(b) Opposing principles must be eliminated
through contrition and renunciation. Principles and
circumstances jeopardizing the attainment of the
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
 objective must be pictured for several weeks, acc mpanied
by pain, self-crushing, tears, torture, voluntary re-
strictions of all kinds, silence, contemplation, etc,
using the 5 senses; from the first through the third
weeks there must be concentration on contrition and
thoughts about things conflicting with the objective;
all this must be pictured in a revolting manner.
(c) Positive picturization. Prior to the
exercises of the second, third, and fourth weeks, the
(positive) goal must be considered; the exercises of
the second week include contemplation and getting the
feel of the basis of the objective (causality).
(d) Immersion. Point (c) must be stepped
up; the basis of the objective must be rendered more
profound; points (e) and (d) must be organized.
(e) Adaptation leading toward the attain-
ment of the (psychological) goal. Growth of the joyous
certainty that the objective can be attained. Picturi-
zation of the goal itself -- again employing all senses
and of its joys and advantages.
(f) Concluding remarks. The above exercises
(a) through (e) may be repeated as often and as long ss
desired; in this manner the desirable qualities may be
spiritually founded after creation of a neutral "vacuum."
In this manner and under trained guidance a goal
can be hammered into an individual; all negative factors
can be rooted out and the kind of dispositirn can be
 The "exercises of Loyola" -- that is to say,?
the key parts -- have always been the basis of the
so-called "success systems," i.e., those worth talking
about.
Exercises of Loyola
Preliminary Remarks
We know that the effectiveness of suggestions
increases the more the psyche is "separated" from the
body and the deeper the "engrams" (traces of psychic-
experience) reach.
We furthermore know that suggestions increase
in force through devoted imagination; these psychological
facts were employed in an ingenious fashion by a medi-
eval knight called Ignatius of Loyola.
Let us describe his system in 6 points. We must
note that the religious imagination efforts listed can
at any time be replaced with others. This means that
the process deaoribed can be used for any kind of psycho-
logical reshaping and, beyond that, also for the body.
To put it briefly, the exercises of Loyola are
the "magic of imagination." They makt use of the

 - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
immediately creative imagination capacity of the psyche.
The pictures necessary for the basic psychological at-
titude (and conviction) are first explained, then
created, "nurtured," and developed; thereupon they are
anchored in the deepest possible psyche state (psyche
base).
The system involved in this process is highly
remarkable and worthy of a modern psychotherapist.
The exercises of Loyola involve the immediate
use and development of "imagination" and its taking
effect on the deepest layers of the psyche in a "red
hot" condition; they also Involve the participation
of all senses.
What we have tried to explain above, we now fl.
translated into practice in a very special manner whic:j
is inimitable and unsurpassable -- although we :;Tian
subsequently learn of methods which are even faster,
more thorough, and above all more universal in their
production of psychological, mental, and physical charges.

creates an "attraction" (think-power acting toward the
goal) which overcomes all resistance.

Lifetime "En rams" Assassin Sec .j
?reliminary Remarks
Regardless of how interesting it may be from u
cultural history point of view, let us not at this
point discuss the rise and growth of the assassins
whose name some people trace hack to the word for
"hemp," while others trace it back to the word "asasa"
(to lay traps) (French: assassin -- murderer).
One thing is certain -- the master of the sect,
called "Master of the Mountain" or "Old Man," was an
individual by the name of Hassan Sabbah who won great
military victories in Persia around the year 1100 A.D.
The assassins were divided into c groups: the
"candidates" and the "self-sacrificers." The latter
group was subjected to a certain treatment which is
the only thing that interests us here. Originally
those selected for tough tasks -- which mostly ended
in death -- were taken to a lovely valley (Mulebat
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
Valley); there they were drugged and then placed in the
believe that they were in "paradise" -- a belief which
was carefully fostered through clever methods; this
process of course also depended on the degree or re-
ceptivity of the individual member.) After several
days or weeks the "self-sacrificer" was again drugged
and taken out of the valley.
Then he was told that the paradise, wnicn ne had
just left, was his to live in forever as soon as lie
died.
Indescribable under these circumstances. They prac-
tically threw themselves into battle, death defying,
nay, death seeking -- a real horror to their foes.
After the loss of his paradisaical valley to an
enemy, the "Master of the Mountain," in order to retain
and increase the number of aia followers, hit upon an
idea worthy of a "sorcerer." He had his victims drugged
with the abovementioned drug, a magic gift; while they
were asleep he had suggestions drilled into them which
produced the strong feeling in them that they were back
in the paradisaical Mulebat Valley which the assassins
had lost in the meantime. These drug-aided suggestions
led to the same result as the method used previously --
in both cases -,,,:e victims belieied they had been in
"paradise" and hsd but one desire: to get back there
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
 The further history of the assassins does not
interest us. Fur the sake of background information,
suffice it to say that the assassins, spreading terror
wherever they went, continued their mischief for
centuries; the sect still exists today, of course under
a different name, and numbers several million believers.
Experiments based on the pattern of the assassins
should therefore take the following form as far as we
are concerned. In this connection it is possible to
lay down whatever we imagine for ourselves in the form
of "engrams" (permanent anchoring: additional abilities,
qualities. or beliefs, changes in any direction desired,
yes, even results affecting the body, corresponding to
the force of the "original bud").
(a) The necessary condition of bean, "separ.ted"
(from earthly things) can be attained in several ways
known to us, i.e., through autohypnosis (slip of paper
containing order), thought silence, medial treatment,
or drugs.
(b) The suggestion is defined in advance and
committed to memory. In addition we must write these
words on several pieces of cardboard so that we may
look at them constantly a few days prior to the experi-
ment.
(c) Ve try to attain the proper state by burn-
ing or taking various quantities of drugs. This we can
control by giving ourselves an autosuggestive order
 ..t._.,h is to be curried out under the influence ci drug3
or in a trance. If this experiment is successful, we
have found the right way and we can proceed to the main
experiment.
(d) This main experiment follows suggestive
preparation and change during the trance or during deep
magic conditions; it is organized in the following manner.
1. Preparation (aids): decision, objective,
d. Purification, protection.
3. Drugs.(burning, peroral consumption,
salve; cf. Vcl VII,.Magie and Toxikologie (Magic and
Toxicology).
4. The experiment itself: "gliding away,"
confidence in the success of the experiment, deep sleep
accompanied by strong "imagination of protection."
5. Conclusion: removal of aids and "traces,"
gratitude, notes (perhaps hints for the next experiment;
repetition is always in order).
These preparations consist of the written defini-
tion of the decision, the formulation of the objective,
and the exercise phases. It is highly recommendab.e to
subdivide major tasks into "steps" and to tackle one
step after another in intervals of about a week. In
the "preparations" we find further included the defini-
;~ of the necessary aids, the purification and protectio:
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
formulas, the instructions for the procurement of od:
breath, water bowl, diaphragm breathing, "silence,"
magnetization, autohypnosis, etc.
After these preparationa we "cleanse" the body
and psyche through washing, prayer, and confession and
commend ourselves to the protection of the highest,
all-governing power.
Then we set the smoke device in motion or we take
the medication selected. ("Too much" its as bad as "too
little" in this connection.)
Now the experimenter can relax and lie down in
the certain, unshakeable conviction that "things will
happen to him as he wants them to happen."
CHAPTER 6. MODERN TREATMENTS
"The Grab for the Psyche" --.A Modern Method of Enslavement
This means "magic" treatment aiming at the depths
of the psyche for earthly and materialistic purposes.
Most of our readers and friends may well be very
much surprised to hear that the 2 systems described
above -- which aim at the treatment of the psyche and
its reshaping for a specific purpose -- have their
parallels in our day and age.
Let us allow the facts to speak for themselves
and look at a report by RIAS (Rundfunk im amerikanischen
Sector Berlins ffadio in the US Sector of Berlin) de-
livered in N; vember li,-54.
- .31 -
 The exact text of the report follows below (under-
lining by the authcr).
"In a ceremony called 'pledge of birth for the
new life,' the young Chinese soldiers must dedicate
Lnemselves Lo file cause of communism.
"It. single file and in total silence the soldiers
enter the gloomy atmosphere (see Loyola's "self-
accusation") of a church Liic7 which _r: t.ed in
black. First comes the address by the _,;..,r who
in a monotonous voice enumerates the mistakes nude in
word and deed by these men whose past life allegedly
had been but one big illusion (and what else, pray tell,
is this "new" life?). A strong appeal is made to senti-
ment and feelings.
"Then come a second and third speaker. I'..ys
the same topic.
"One soldier bursas out sobbing (sensitivity
sphere); then others chime in (psychosis, ecstasy, 'e-
pending on 'aptitude'), and after a few minutes every-
one is weeping and sobbing.
"Then the meeting is adjourned and each man goes
to his corner in order to meditate and to bewail the
terrible lie he lived even before his birth -- a lie
"There are a hours of crying and laments. Then
the soldiers are taken by the hand; a new meeting is

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
held in which the greatness and beauty of the new life
"The same~rocedure is repeated all over again
on the next day. (These repetitions are very important.)
"Outside of these exercises there is strictest
"In the evening of the third day each man solemnly
pledges to dedicate his life and life's blood (see the
example of the 'assassins') to the triumph of the com-
munist ideal throughout the world; each man places him-
self in the 'service of mankind'."
Who can fail, in reading this report, to note the
"similarity" of this spiritual treatment to the "exercises
of Loyola?" First we have mourning and pain ("gloomy
atmosphere"), lamenting and wailing, silence and medita-
tion, the emphasis on the theory that everything except
the "idea" is nothing but "deception," the constant repe-
titions ("engrains"), finally the pledge and triumph.
And this sort of "treatment" is being administered mostly
to "primitive," i.e., especially receptive people who
belong to a race which is considerably more "picture
conscious" and closer to nature than our race. (This
fact aids the power of imagination and thereby the ef-
fect of the "engrains.")
We may perhaps be able to imagine the effect of
this treatment -- an effect which is unparalleled in
the western (white) world.
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
 This system could also be reorganized for our
purposes, although it could be adapted only for "indi-
vidual" exercises. And we might use the example of
the "exercises of Loyola" in order to adapt the exercises
of China.
But this is unnecessary not only because "Loyola's
system" works in a more complete fashion (and should
therefore be preferred in an emergency) but also because
we shall learn a method which will surpass all those
mentioned so far.
CHAPTER 7. TECHNOLOGY AND DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY
1.
We shall now contrast the above psychological
systems against our process, called "psychological
preparation," which is divided into the following steps.
Cu) The text of the suggestions is recorded
(b) Suggestions, see point (a), planned in ad-
vance, are carried out during deep sleep which is induced
through drugs or autohypnosis.
(c) While the "magic remedy" opens up the sub-
conscious of the person at rest, the tape recorder is
turned on. The tape may be played several weeks;
;houcver, if drugs have been used, the tape must not be
plr,yeci without the necessary precautions. There must
be ,,n thuerval of at least 2 to 3 days between experiments.
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
(d) The arrangement and type of suggestions de-
pend on the particular objective; this has been dis-
cussed in an earlier volume (Vol VII, Magie and Toxi_
kologie).
(e) The tape recorder or phonograph is switched
on by a "third person" outside the room, provided the
individual taking the treatment has fallen into deep
sleep.
(f) The suggestions should be adapted to the
processing and reception capabilities of the psyche
(psychotherapy).
"Suggestion" key words establish "magnetic
contact" with the sound source. Postsuggestions (orders
taking effect after awakening) are recommended. "Con-
tact" is developed and strengthened when the sleeping
individual, thougi ordared to continue sleeping, briefly
answers simple questions. Certain protective measures
must be taken against hypnosis. Finally, it must not
be forgotten that the awakening should be calm and leave
the individual strengthened.
We shall have to elaborate on our explanations
here, since we shall be discussing the expanded process
later.
we have already pointed out the conformity between
the "Chinese" and the "Loyola" exercises. we can also
 draw a yarallel between the suggestion methodology of
the assassins and the process described last. "Mecha-
nization" after all is only supposed to replace the
hypnotizer or make him superfluous; it is supposed to
make possible the execution of the experiments at any
time and without the knowledge of others.
We must admit that the coordinated action of
sound recording, playback, and deep sleep aided by
drugs and the arrangement of the suggestions produce
a special kind of "psychological" effect Which is legally
protected in all countries and which is made available
solely to the readers of Lh:a series of books for their
exclusive person:l use. However, the basic principle --
which we stumbled over only after our process had long
been proved experimentally -- is the same in both cases:
here as there we have the opening up of the deepest psyche
layers (primary bud); here as there we have the "engrams"
which in most cases continue to remain in effect for a
lifetime ;if there are no countersuggestions) and which
cause almost unthinkable psychological, physical, and
mental changes.
Explanation
The methodology described here as it applies to
use in autosuggestive techniques should be changed in
the following manner in order to adapt it for use in
the treatment of cne individual by another (and for use
 in mass treatment). In this co,inection the treatment
can take place with or without the knowledge of the
experimental individual.
Hidden loudspeakers are used to beam prepared
suggestions (recorded on tape) at sleeping individuals.
One transmitting station can in this manner sup-
ply many such sleeping rooms (single or group quarters)
holding almost countless experimental individuals.
4.
The Process of Psychological Reshaping
A. Preliminary Remarks
"Psychological reshaping" or "preparation" allows
treatment of and makes possible effects on the depth
layers of the human psyche ("Phoe'iix in us" or "primary
bud"); it thereby makes possible any desired change or
regeneration in the physical, psychological, mental,
character, and ethics realm.
The advantages of mechanical treatment (involving
records or tape) reside in the fact that the whole
procedure can take place Independently of an experi-
menter or hypnotizer; they also reside in the elimina-
tion of disturbance factors. Treatment can be administered
whenever and as long as desired; it can be thorough and
it can be administered all at once or it can come gradually
over a period of time.
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
 The eonaciousness states are controlled With the
help of suggestion formulas and drugs and extend from
the trance to magnetic sleep and somnambulism (catalepsy).
The treatment may be varied depending on the objective.
The process of psychological reshaping is a com-
bination of suggestion, mechanics, and controlled sleep
combined with magic means. The essence of psychological
reshaping lies in the opening up (deep sleep) of the
depths of the psyche ,rid its pollination (through sug-
gestions in keeping w-.:h the psychological laws).
B. The process is based on the fact that modem
man -- aside from magic objectives -- is subjected to
psychoses and weaknesses and a certain psychological
wear a:j.1 tear which reduce or destroy his capacity --
especie.lly hio capacity for occult activities -- and
which weaken his vital force (od reduction).
A form of "psychological treatment" might for
instance be hypnosis whica is specially predisposed
indivldu..ls can be used in bringing about all kinds
of Ptak pcrfornances and changes.
Hynnosis however brings with it certain disturbing
and eves ikepres.ing momants; for this reason it should
not ba :etialdered in connection with most of our ob-
jectiveL, aic!. ;ter ail are constructive ones, unless
of course we h..ve a cede of auLohypnosis on our hands.
Once we h'.i to e:iminate the hypnosis of one individual
t'vv an.:ther beccu:3e of these disturbing and limiting
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
 factors, we just had to devise another process which
would take ver the function and effect of hypnosis
or, better still, which would increase the effect and
give it a firm basis without taking over any of the
previous weaknesses.
Research was aimed at the opening up of the
pertinent psyche layers in a long series of experi-
mentz'extending over many years; it was also aimed
at the solution of the problem as to the manner in
which this process [sic7 was to be pollinated with
permanent entrains -- in short, how the nerve control
forces ("primary bud") were to be treated and how they
were to be rendered effective in a way which would
cause their "change" to turn into permanent, impr,.egna-
tiona.
.) Suggestive treatment and its dif-
ferentiated " simetry.
(c) Drugs (magic remedies).
(d) The source of suggestions (automatic
playback of suggestions using records or tape).
(e) Instructions governing the process
and the suggestion techniques as well as the use of
remedies according to the description contained in
these pages.
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
D. ue "force which thinks in keeping with the
objective, tae sort of hidden intelligence" (Brauchle)
which is available to man in the depth of his psyche
is capped by the process of psychological preparation
and set in motion (activity). Thus the suggestions
bring about physical, psychological, and mental growth,
as well as all developmental or restorative processes
and the development of lacking or desirable forces.
The "creative and active forces which lie below
the stratum of daily consciousness" may be influenced,
according to professor Schleich, during sleep or in
its manifold forms. The process and its effect -- the
tapping of psychological forces and their pollination --
is based on the fact (stated already by Geheimrat
7ecret Affairs counsello7 Driesch) that mediumistic
or magnetic-magic immersion states can be attained
with the help of drugs.
E. The methodology discussed can be organized
by rearranging the order of experiments in various
ways so that minor disturbances or effects can be
brought about during semisleep or light sleep. In
the case of thorough psychological "operations" sleep-
ing pills or drugs are in order; in the case of funda-
mental changes however deep sleep phases corresponding
to the "magic" remedies are in urder; we have learned
of the latter in these pages.
F. The system discussed here after a while also
makes possible the separation of body and psyche
Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6

(experiments with the sensitivity complex) -- if the
"psychological unit" has "substantiated" itself, i.e.,
Practical Work with the Process of Psychological Reshap ink
The attentive reader will already have found out
that the process discussed here replaces and even steps
up all magic treatment methods discussed so far. On
the other hand the exercises of Loyola may at the sare
time just as well be "built into" this process and the
same may be done with the psychological treatment of
the "Old Man of the Mountain" (assassins). Keeping in
mind what we have stated so far about the technical
part, this experiment is organized in the following manner.
(a) Sound source: tape or record, if pos-
sible not connected with a radio and operable from the
outside with the help of a switch placed outside the
sleeping room in which the experimenting individual is
stationed.
(b) one or more special tapes or discs
playing back suggestions or several such implements,
used in a supplementing or interchangeable manner (or
for purposes of stepping up the effect). The makeup
of these suggestions was explained in Vol VII (Magie and
Toxikologie).
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
(c) Magic means (Vol VII, op. cit.): ex-
perimentation with the method most effective in each
individual case.
(d) The usual protective and security measures
prior to "major" magic experiments (purification, protec-
tion, protective psalm, autosuggestive conviction as to
inviolability and successful accomplis:zment, etc).
(e) In the text of the suggestion we must,
by the way of precaution, include in addition to the
suggestion key word (see Vol VII) also the posthypnotic
instructions to the effect that no physical or psycho-
logical disturbances will develop and that in the next
experiment the desired depth sleep will be induced with-
out the use of drugs.
B. Operating Procedure
(a) We lie down at a certain arbitrary
hour; we have told our helper -- that is, supposing we
are not using mechanical means -- to throw the switch
at a moment when we can be certain that we have attained
the deepest possible stage of our sleep; and we have
consumed the "magic remedy" (mandragora tincture, e.g.,
10 drops, or strong sleeping pills).
(b) Nov all we have to do is to let our-
selves "fail," firmly convinced that the suggestions we
have laid down will produce the complete reshaping of
our psychological and material situaticn tnruugh "psychic
avitchirig" and changes in the force of attraction. The
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
"cutting in on the cosmic auxiliary forces" is the
strongest relief moment which most of us will succeed
in attaining only after complete cleansing; once that
has been accomplished, one can literally "move mountains."
(c) As we fall asleep we take along with
us the conviction as to our inviolability and the full
knowledge that we shall awaken after a certain interval
as new individuals, refreshed and full of good cheer.
C. Forms of Treatment
(a) Just as we experiment with the means
used in deepening our sleep, so must we examine the
various consciousness states which are known to us
and to the psychologist; we begin with the "shallowest"
immersion stages.
(b) The first stage must of course be
simple "relaxation" during which however suggestions -
as contrasted against the waking state -- already are
more effective. In all this we are not intent on trying
out a new process; this after all has been done for the
past 2 decades. What we are trying to do here is to
find that certain particular form which is in itself
the beat and most effective.
(c) The next treatment takes place during
semisleep and can be compared to a, intensified immersion
stage; here we find that stronger treatment is possible,
especially in the case of frequent repetition.
 td) The condition sz`tier awa%ing or shortly
prior to falling asleep is "equivalent" to seoisleep;
precisely at this point suggestions are often highly
effective, depenc.ing of course on the constitution and
ability of the individual concerned.
(e) Now we can "exercise" deeper magic im-
mersion states, starting with concentration and pro-
ceeding to absence of physical feeling and to thought
silence. In these phases considerably greater and more
profound changes are possible from the psychic toward
the "world of things."
(f) Then comes the elimination of conscious-
ness and the condition which we call sleep and which
brings with it th9 "liberation" of the sensitivity
sphere. Now the treatment inexorably leads to changes
in the psychological component as well as in the
physical component running parallel thereto.
(g) Sleep reinforced through sleeping pills
is used to apply strong and very strong treatment and
can be overcome only with the help of the following step.
(h) The most radical changes occur during
narcotic sleep "in keeping with the laws of nature."
This type of sleep is induced with the help of drugs
and magic remedies but it must never lead to "psychic
lethargy." "Too much" in this case is just as bad as
"too little."
 (i) The purely magically effective remedies
(see list and characteristic features in Vol VII, Magie
and Toxikologie) produce magnetic-narcotic sleep --
the stage of truly reshaping treatment which is wondrous
and remarkable and which allows the development of
certain phenomena.
(j) The experiments will soon get us to
the point where we can handle the various methods in
a sovereign fashion; in this connection it must of
course be remembered that certain psychological forces
correspond to the consciousness phases.
(k) The special value of the method de-
scribed lies in the easy control over the conscious-
neas phases and thereby in the effectiveness depth of
the suggestions and/or ongrams which can be regulated
as desired.
(1) Patience, tenacity, and perseverance
in the methodology adopted are more important in these
experiments than in any other field.
In the old days secret societies and other or-
ganizations subjected their members to the exercises
explained above or to other exercises. Today, as shown
by the example in the Fur East, we find subjected to
these psychic changes the modern heads of states and
their retinue, the military leaders and the leadership
elite itself, just as in the old priest hierarchies,
in Egypt, Greece, etc.
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
Gradually the "dcminati 'n of the psyche" becomes
the decisive weapon of the future whose terror corn be
counteracted without quaking only with the help of a
special kind of "preparation." "Psychological prepara-
tion" is increasingly becoming the means for world
domination in the realm of the material and thereby
offers opportunities for misuse. The conflicts of the
future will be decided it tte realm of the mind.
CHAPTER 8. "POLLINATION" AFTER NEUTRALIZATION
Let us at this point recall the most remarkable
passages of the book Laid which discuss the "driving
mechanism" o: the ;rocess of recognizing and shaping
destiny.
(a) The mixture of 2 things at best produ!ses a
viaile "halfbreed" but never a. clearly effective (suc-
cess attracting) "life molder." He who tries to plant
ne?., seeds on "unpuri led" soil will create for himself
many obstacles and will "spread himself too thin." He
will also to in danger of being "overpowered" cconer
or later by the old, deeply rooted forces.
(b) An e-idit (n of ncv forces accompanied try
a mixture of -t habi s an,, new objectives -- "feeds"
both the good ,.rd the bad factors; the battle between
the will dev. ur the best for-es and the outcome will
be highly unce.;ain. Usually she "old, deeply rooted
far,-as will out."
 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-00280R001300170023-6
Therefore the first goal must be the recog-
nition of werikpesses srd their eradication with all
available means. The second goal must be either the
strengthening of the remaining talents or the new im-
plantation of desirable capabilities as far as these
are required in the attainment of the main objective.
(c) It is often necessary to plunge the "healing
knife" rither deep, for we must remember that the psyche
was shaped and that psyche attitude (behavior) was
formed by "Karma" fscturs (i.e., factors rooted in the
deepest ;aychc,lo1ical layers) and by all environmental
effects that have come out to date.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
There are things +hich are "good" for the body
and there are things wh'.h help the psyche. There are
also slowly and profcwn .y acting "psychological poisons"
which have an either p'-manent or temporary effect.
The initiated knows a bc,. them; he knows about the
dangers they entail and he power they can produce.
The pillars of authorit; to date have been smashed by
thm'impact of events during the last 4 decades; ruore
and more the nations are casting off their chains and
driving out the tyrants. There is a new age coming up
which recognizes nothing but its own strength and its
own luck -- and woe to those who oppose its objectives.
The old and new "slaveholders" know about this
c-.illapse of all the old "power supports" and are looking

 Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2011/06/08: CIA-RDP81-0028OR001300170023-6
All is fair in this game and this includes terror,
secret alliances, "propaganda," and other means of in-
timidation.
We therefore feel that it is all the more important
to reinforce the ranks of those who hold to certain ideals
and it is the mission of this series of books to contribute
to the maturing of the men and women of all strata of
society who stay away from "extremes": all problems of
man and human life can be solved through tolerance.
The modern psychologist knows that errors, weak-
nesses, negative attitudes, courage, cowardice, etc
are instinctive parts of the human personality; they
do not depend on the brain and are therefore not governed
by the will of the individual. (For instance 90% of all
traffic accidents can be traced to subconscicus human
failure.)
These activities of the instinct take place ac-
cording to certain predispositions present in the in-
dividual.
The psychologist however knows that these psycho-
logical predispositions of man can be shaped; today the
psychologist knows the means with which this formative
process can be accomplished.

The thing to do is to form and control the sub-
conscious psychological (and nerve control) forces in
certain mental phases (semisleep, sleep, deep sleep)
so that undesirable impressions can no longer exert
any influence and will "ricochet" unassimilated.
In order to get at the "bud" way down deep in
the psyche, the intellect must be uncoupled in all these
treatments; this should also be done to avoid rigidi-
fication and cramps. This does not mean that the intel-
lect is renounced; it is merely prevented from separating
itself from the depth forces of the psyche.
The "psychological preparation" process described
does not aim at the development of uniformed masses of
souls, nor does it want to train "psychological robots" -
all it wants to do is to give the government and the
leadership a tool with which to mobilize the humanity
preserving forces, eliminate nihilist trends, and pre-
pare everyone for the tough trials ahead.
Graduated from public school, junior high school,
and business school; employed in the business world
for 25 years as correspondent, bookkeeper, head
bookkeeper, and business manager.

VIII. MODES OF APPLICATION TO DATE
The forces (component fields) on which "psycho-
logical preparation" is based and which were for the
first time summarized (i.e., organized into a complete,
tried system) in these pages with the help of psycho-
logical precincts and treatments not used hitherto,
have been employed so far in the following fields.
Psychotherapy
1. Therapy
Treatment of certain psychosomatic ailments for
shock effects and psychoses; elimination of complexes
and negative attitudes; elimination of the so-called
"fulfillment compulsion" (all this has been accomplished
in the form customary hitherto, i.,.e., without the presently
applicable process of combining engrains, sleep, and sug-
gest ion -,I utomr, t is s) .
 d. Diagnosis: narooanalysis.
3. Elimination of disturbances obstructing the
process of falling asleep (with due consideration being
given to the abovementioned limitations).
Mechanical Suggestion
Memorizing of philological (linguistic) principles
and vocabulary during sleep with the help of records.
Elimination of cramps (for use in painless birth)
with the help of personal or mechanical rendition of
suggestions (records), etc.
This "memorandum" consists of 41 pages jn the
originaj,7 including the title page.
