the invisible picture goals were implanted by an early race of alien implanters some time between "110,000 trillion trillion years ago or earlier to 390 trillion trillion years ago". they comprised brainwashing of captive thetans by showing them pictures of diametrically opposed goals such as "wake, never wake, sleep, never sleep", as well as invisible pictures to confuse the thetan. the other pictures would "consist usually of a scene of a cave, a railway, an airplane, a view of a sun and planets".
