in the "assists" lecture of october 3, 1968, hubbard described a surreal cosmological event said to take place shortly after incident i (the creation of the universe): "there's the incident called "the obscene dog" which is just a little bit later than incident one. and sometimes actually by running it, why you can get the pc into incident one. the obscene dog was a sort of a brass dog in a sitting position and anybody who got around to the front of the dog got caught in some electronic current and passed through the dog to the dog's rear end and spat out. thetans didn't like this."
