“We have this problem of this little circuit saying to him he’s a fool. Well, he’s had something he’s been unwilling to be. Any randomity is something a person isn’t supposed to be in order to keep the game going. He wouldn’t keep the game going if he became the randomity.
“So it tells you that all you have to do is swap ends on the communication line, which is for him to tell himself what a fool he is. Tell himself that a few times and—we don’t care if he identifies it or recognizes it or gets happy about it or unhappy about it. The way we handle this circuit and blow the circuit out of existence is just have him say these very words to himself and set himself up there.
“Now, what have we done? We’ve just swapped the lines on the communication, that’s all. We just swapped ends. We had him be the other thing. And by making him be the enemy, it ceased to be an enemy. So we get beingness and communication and duplication and automaticity all in one operation. See those component parts?”
