The Genetic Line
In Chapter 4, we are basically looking at DNA programming. It may appear to have an identity of its own. It may present us with dreamlike “visualizations” that provide us with a sequence of evolutionary track.
DNA programming consists of epicenters that stand along the nerve channels of the body and are like switchboards. They still command their immediate areas and, independently of the central command post in the brain, can cause reaction in their area. Optimally, there should be communication amongst all epicenters in the body with the result of a complete unity of action by the body.
The DNA programming seems to have evolved from resolving the anomalies contained in experiences. The DNA programming itself is not the subject of auditing. Only the anomalies in DNA programming needs to be resolved. Such anomalies come to attention by themselves during subject clearing.
Hubbard believed that auditing the genetic entity with the E-meter could provide data to reconstruct this programming. He had a lot of theories. He basically tested these theories by E-meter reactions. Unfortunately, an E-meter reaction, by no means validates a theory. It simply indicates the presence of some anomaly.
Hubbard worked out the following sequence:
(1) An atom is the first appearance of a solid structure, around which motion may be anchored.
(2) Very early on, cosmic impacts created confusions, such as, whether to accept something or reject it.
(3) At the stage of the photon converter, the overall effort was to to convert chaos into order. The chaos itself was life that was gradually ordering itself. There is a lot of trial and error. Change in form, which we see as death and birth today, was routine. Hubbard makes it a conflict between chaos and order. However, one can see it as chaos trying to bring order into itself.
(4) At the stage of helper, life seems to be acquiring different identities by splitting. However, much charge blows off when life is viewed as oneness made up all these identities. But Hubbard focuses on individuality and emphasizes “self” and “other” aspect instead of the oneness aspect.
(5) At the stage of clam, different impressions seem to be moulding different organisms; but all these organisms make up the same life. The element of conflict enters only when the viewpoint of oneness is ignored. Hubbard ignores the viewpoint of oneness and emphasizes individuality in his theories.
(6) Hubbard projects a human viewpoint in describing the stage of Weeper. However, when this programming took place there was no human viewpoint or consciousness. It was just chaos being converted to order. The projection of human emotions on to genetic programming makes Hubbard’s theories suspect.
(7) The approach of searching for genetic incident to audit can be quite confusing and may lead to trouble. In Subject Clearing one starts with anomalies in the present time and follows them up. The right incidents come up by themselves. If there are unassimilated impressions of explosions, they will come up in subject clearing by themselves and run out. Hubbard theory of volcanoes is unnecessary.
(8) Hubbard assumes an unbroken theta line, which is separate from the genetic line. But it is theta that postulates the genetic line into existence. As the genetic line evolves and becomes very sophisticated the phenomenon of independent thought manifests. This phenomenon of independent thought has been misconstrued by Hubbard as an independent “theta line.” The theta underlies the genetic line and the theta being is superimposed upon it. Nether theta nor theta being is separate and independent of the genetic line.
(9) The sophistication of DNA programming leads to the manifestation of independent thought, just as the sophistication of computer programming leads to AI (artificial intelligence). Therefore, the theta being evolves from the genetic entity. Self-awareness is associated more with the theta being. GE has no self-awareness and it acquires no charge on such incidents as “being eaten.” Charge enters the picture only when self-awareness is involved and there is resistance to “being eaten.”
(10) Therefore, from GE to Theta being there is an increased sophistication of DNA programming. The programming underlying the theta being has increasing self-awareness component. This takes place at the stage of Sloth.
(11) The increasingly self-aware stages are those of Ape, Piltdown man and Cavemen. Awareness of overts enters into picture only at this level of genetic programming.
Theta is the ability to postulate and become aware. Theta postulates the genetic line into existence. The genetic line is devoted to bringing order into chaos. It does so through trial and error, which produces the DNA programming. Over time this programming gets increasingly sophisticated until it acquires the component of self-awareness. This component of self-awareness is the beginning of theta being, which then develops to the human stage.
The basic anomaly in Hubbard’s theory is a fixation on individuality and ignoring the oneness of life. He assumes Theta Being to be separate and independent of GE, whereas, according to the principle of oneness, the Theta Being evolves from GE.
Both GE and Theta Being are aspect of DNA programming that is part of the mental matrix like all other experience. GE is just a deeper part of matrix.
Death is the total and permanent cessation of all the vital functions of an organism. The organism has lost the coordination of its parts due to fatal injury or aging. The active DNA programming continues to evolve through live progeny. Logically, no impressions of death should be carried forward, since the DNA of organism that dies, does not continue. Therefore, the past life memory of DNA programming that continues through progeny, shall contain no death.

Summary
The theta underlies the genetic line which underlies the theta being. They are part of the same continuum. The theta being has simply evolved out of the genetic entity as the genetic programming becomes more self-aware like AI (artificial intelligence). Hubbard’s theory of past deaths being recorded as memory is questionable. There is no swapping of pictures between GE and Theta Being.
Hubbard’s research is based purely on E-meter reactions to the questions he asked. The question that was asked and what the e-meter reacted to, can be two very different things. The assumption that the two are always the same may not be true. This brings the integrity of Hubbard’s research into question. We can find the truth only through the principle of oneness by applying the subject clearing procedure. There is likely to be something that the E-meter is reacting to, but it is not what one may expect it to be.
Hubbard assumes that GE and theta being are two different beings within a person. This is another way of saying that the person can exist independent of the body. This is not true because the person needs the body to exist. The correct explanation is that a person can exist without fixation on the body. According to Buddhism, there is no such thing as a permanent soul. The soul exists only in a body that is alive.
At the time of death, the self-awareness ceases first, followed by the cessation of the activities of DNA programming. As the identification with body ceases the viewpoint positions itself away from the body. It may get a downview of the dead. In the end there is no consciousness at all.

EPICENTER
The epicenters stand along the nerve channels of the body and are like switchboards. They would be such parts of the body as the “funny bones” or any “judo-sensitive” spots: the sides of the neck, the inside of the wrist, the places the doctors tap to find out if there is a reflex. Those things are sub-brains picked up on the evolutionary line probably. They have a monitoring effect on the body and the individual.
EPICENTER THEORY
The theory of the epicenters applies very particularly along the MEST evolutionary line. This theory holds that in any given generation on the evolutionary line, the sum of its counter-efforts will form, in the next generation, the new command post.
GENETIC ENTITY
Genetic entity is the DNA programming, which represents all the cellular experience on the genetic line. It serves as the blueprint for the body. It has the manifestation of a single identity located at the center of the body in the stomach.
THETA BEING
The theta being is the self-aware aspect of the DNA programming, similar in characteristics to AI (artificial intelligence). This is who the person thinks he is. It represents the analytical ability of the mind, which does not exist in animals. The unassimilated impressions associated with the “I” are the most important target of subject clearing. Out of the resolution of these anomalies will come a better understanding of who one really is.
