"Now the third characteristic of the IP is timelessness. Or if you like, there's another name for it. We also call it a time stop. Essentially it's a state of timelessness. Actually this stems from the motionlessness, but this is the way it works out. Every postulate has a time component to it. Time is required in order to put a postulate into action. So the being in the universe, when he's playing games with the postulates, he's always creating a little time, even if he is doing it automatically and unknowingly. He is always endeavoring to create a little time in which to fulfill his postulates. So he keeps doing this continuously and hence the whole universe jogs along through time. You see that? So, there's a time component to every postulate and without the postulates there could be no time component. The time component vanishes when the postulate vanishes. The time component vanishes because the time is bound in to the universe. The time is built into the postulate structure of the universe. As I've said many times, this universe only consists of life and postulates, but the postulates need time in order to fulfill themselves. So if you're in a state where there are no postulates then there is no time. It does follow there. But we know that the IP state is a state of their postulates. Remember that if X(1-X)=1 then X+(1-X)=0. Both the X and the 1-X are zero. So in the IP state there are no postulates and therefore there is no time. There is no time in the IP state. There is a timelessness. Actually it's more of a time stop. What happens is time jogs along right up to the point that the postulates went into IP, and time stops at that precise instant. It's a time stop rather than the timelessness, but we refer to it as timelessness in the IP state. But the onset of the IP state is the time stop; that's where time stops. And this is quite well known in the field of psychiatry, that a person will actually go insane at a certain moment in time. They may stay insane for six months or a year and maybe they get some treatment or maybe for any number of reasons suddenly the person snaps out of it and they look around and say, “Where am I?” And they say, “Well you're in this institution.” And he says, “Well what date is it?” And he's got a whole year missing out of his life. Time stopped for him, you see, at the point where he went into the IP state a year previously. Now he's come back out the IP state and he's now back into the sanity again. This is so common in psychiatry that it's documented. If you read up books of psychiatry and the treating of the insane, and so forth, is very common. And people have memory lapses where they go into insanity and there for a period of time they have no memory of the period inside the insanity. They come out of it and they've lost a period of their life. The doctor says, “Can you remember being in here for a year?” And he says, “No, the last thing I remember was receiving that telephone call from Uncle Ben, and after that there's nothing. I don't recall anything.” “Ah, yes,” says the Doctor. He understands. “Yes, yes…you've had a nervous breakdown.” He's been insane. He's been in the IP state and now he's snapped out of it. So there's a time stop there in the IP state. Now I don't have to remind listeners to this tape who have studied the subjects of Dianetics and Scientology about being stuck. They know all about this subject of being stuck on the time track. I would refer you to the connection between this material that I'm talking about now, the IP's, and the stuck in time and the fact that a person can be stuck on the time track. So I just point it out at this juncture that there is a connection between being stuck on the time track and the IP state. You can be stuck on the time track for other reasons than IP's, but sure as hell if you went into an IP state you'll be stuck there. That's where your attention will be stuck. It will stick your attention because there is no time in the IP state. If a person went into the IP state and then came out again there will be a little time stop there which would hold his attention at that point in time. We'll discuss this a little more when we're talking about sensations. At this juncture I'll just remind you that the phenomena does exist and to relate this subject of time stop and timelessness of the IP state to what you know of being stuck on the time track and the Engram Bank." --
