L. Ron Hubbard used the term Incident in a specific context for auditing in Scientology and Dianetics: the description of space opera events in our Universe's distant past, involving alien interventions in our past lives. It is a basic belief of Scientology that a human being is actually an immortal spiritual being, termed a thetan, that is presently trapped on planet Earth in a "meat body". The thetan has had innumerable past lives and it is accepted in Scientology that lives antedating the thetan's arrival on Earth lived in extraterrestrial cultures.
Although Incidents can literally be any incident that occurs anywhere on the Whole Track, Hubbard's writings dwelled almost exclusively on fanciful ones from Earth's prehistory, because these "key incidents" are crucial to auditing. Many of them first appeared in Hubbard's book What to Audit (later retitled A History of Man ).
In his writings and lectures, Hubbard describes many key Incidents said to have occurred to thetans during the past few trillion years. Generally speaking, these followed a consistent pattern. A hostile alien civilization would capture free thetans and brainwash them with implants designed to confuse them or otherwise render them more amenable to control. Often, instances of implantation are termed Incidents , while the subject of the implants are often termed Goals , although these are not set-in-stone rules. Not all Incidents deal with implants; some are simply unusual and traumatic events said to have happened to thetans millions of years ago. This trauma is said to linger for trillions of years and causes unresolved psychological problems in the present day. According to Hubbard, only Scientology methods can resolve the burdens left by such traumas.
A History of Man Incidents
Main article: Scientology: A History of ManBefore Earth and Before MEST
"There is a Before Earth and a Before MEST Universe in all banks. The incidents are not dissimilar. They consist of the preclear being summoned before a council, being frowned down, being sent elsewhere than where he was.... the council's intent is to reduce the person downscale in order to get a more obedient colonist." ( A History of Man , 1988 edition, pg. 107)
Body Builder Incident
The Body Builder Incident originally took place around fifty million years ago and variants of it are said by Hubbard to have recurred often on the "whole track". The thetan was put into a special field which forced him to fight with his own "attention units" and build a MEST body from them. ( A History of Man , 1988 edition, pg. 114)
Bodies in pawn
Bodies in pawn result from an ancient "very gruesome experience" in which:
a fellow is grabbed, hypnotized, shoved into an electronic field, and then told he is somewhere else. And so he departs—most of him—and goes to the new location while still being under control of the implanters. He picks up a MEST body in the new location and starts living a life there, while still having a living body somewhere else . The implanters can keep his original body alive indefinitely, and control the thetan through it. If the thetan tries to flee, the hypnotizers simply cause pain to the original body, still alive in a vat of fluid, and he is immediately recalled. That's a BODY IN PAWN. It's a second body you may have, living somewhere else, right in present time. But the second body is not under YOUR direct control.
( Source magazine #105, pg.39, 1997; see also Hubbard, Research and Discovery Series vol. 10)They can apparently cause major problems for people undergoing medical operations, as "pain, an anaesthetic or a serious accident cause him to change to the other area with a shocking impact on the other body. The other body quite commonly dies or is deranged by the sudden impact." This gives the patient a repressed feeling of having died and leaves him "very, very badly disturbed." ( Scientology: A History of Man )
Fly Trap (Bubble Gum Incident)
The Bubble Gum Incident was an important early incident "where you are hit with a motion and finally develop an obsession about motion" . It was the first incident on the "whole track" which included words.
Hubbard openly acknowledged the silly sound of the name he chose to give this incident, sarcastically noting "I wish you to carefully note these very technical terms like bubble gum ", to which the audience laughs heartily.
In his book A History of Man , Hubbard referred to the Bubble Gum Incident as "The Fly Trap": "Very, very early on the track, a long time before the present populace came into being, there was a theta trap called the Fly Trap. It was of a gummy material... also called the 'Bubble Gum' incident, because every time a thetan pushes against it, it pushes back and it finally gives him an obsession about motion." (1988 edition, pg. 116)
Coffee Grinder
Hubbard gave the name "The Coffee Grinder" to this aspect of the Fourth Invader Force's Fac One , which he termed "an outright control mechanism, invented to cut down rebel raids on invader installations". It was "originally laid down in this galaxy about one million years ago", says Hubbard, and consists of "a two-handled, portable machine which, when turned, emits a heavy push-pull electronic wave in a series of stuttering 'baps'."
"The invader gratuitously left these machines around for the yokels. Believing that the treatment was vital to get to heaven or some such thing, the yokels practiced on each other, found new victims and generally spread the implant around." ( A History of Man , 1988 edition, pg. 105-107)
Ice Cube Incident
A Xenu-like story in which alien invaders in flying saucers "plant" living entities. Says Hubbard in A History of Man , "Here is an intriguing incident which, if your preclear demands, should be audited. This is evidently a method of transportation of beings to a new area. The being is packed in ice, is taken to the new area and is usually dumped in the ocean. Your preclear, if he has this one in restimulation, has very cold hands and feet chronically."
Hubbard also notes: "The new crew in the area is later quite surprised to find that their planted beings, so carefully dumped in the sea from a saucer, are being picked up between lives and given "treatment" by an old, established invader whose methods of political control are long since established." (1988 edition, pg. 109)
Jack-in-the-Box
According to Hubbard, "here we have an invader trick, a method of trapping thetans." The alien invaders trick the thetans into gathering an endless loop of facsimile pictures and confusing themselves, ultimately ending in an explosion. Hubbard warns auditors, "You will find a preclear with this in restimulation to be very curious about cereal boxes which have pictures of boxes of cereal which have pictures of boxes of cereal." ( A History of Man , 1988 edition, pg. 98-99)
OT III Incidents
Main article: XenuThese incidents are described in the material for Operating Thetan level III and are audited on that level.
Incident I
Incident I is set four quadrillion years ago and provides a cosmological explanation of the origin of all universes. The unsuspecting thetan was subjected to a loud snapping noise followed by a flood of luminescence, then saw a chariot followed by a trumpeting cherub. After a loud set of snaps, the thetan was overwhelmed by darkness. This is described as the implant opening the gateway to this universe, meaning that these traumatic memories are what separates thetans from their static (natural, godlike) state. The incident is described in Operating Thetan level III (OT III), written in 1967.
R6 Implants (Incident II)
The R6 Implants were the work of the Galactic Confederacy's tyrannical leader, Xenu, 75 million years ago. According to Hubbard, Xenu blew up his billions of captured subjects during Incident II by dropping them into volcanoes and then attacking them with nuclear weapons. The subjects were also forced to watch a "three-D, super colossal motion picture" for thirty-six days. This implanted pictures "contain God, the Devil, Angels, space opera, theaters, helicopters, a constant spinning, a spinning dancer, trains and various scenes very like modern England."
Routine 3N Incidents
Aircraft Door Goals
The Aircraft Door Goals were implanted between 315 trillion years ago and 216 trillion years ago aboard the fuselage of an aircraft, with the thetan held motionless in front of the aircraft door. Hubbard writes that "the goal items were laid in with explosions" . The specific goals given in this implant were variants of the command "to create." ("Routine 3N: Line Plots", HCOB 14 July 1963)
Bear Goals
The Bear Goals were very similar to the Gorilla Goals (see below) with the same set of goals, except that "instead of a mechanical gorilla a mechanical or live bear was used, and the motion was even more violent." They were implanted by "a group called, I think, "The Brothers of the Bear" and wer
