Running Scientology Grade 0 with Mindfulness (old)

Grade 0A

Please see ARC Straight wire Processes

At Grade 0 processing level of Scientology one deals with Communication. It removes mental barriers so one may communicate freely with anyone on any subject.

Normally these processes are run on a person by a trained scientology auditor with the help of an instrument called e-meter. But these same processes may be run by a person on himself/herself using the discipline of mindfulness.

.

These are the 12 aspects of mindfulness:

  • Observe without expecting anything, or attempting to get an answer.
  • Observe things as they are, without assuming anything.
  • If something is missing do not imagine something else in its place. 
  • If something does not make sense then do not explain it away.
  • Use physical senses as well as mental sense to observe.
  • Let the mind un-stack itself. 
  • Experience fully what is there.  
  • Do not suppress anything.
  • Associate data freely.
  • Do not get hung up on name and form.
  • Contemplate thoughtfully.
  • Let it all be effortless.

One may develop the discipline of mindfulness by doing the exercises provided here:

 

The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness

Scientology Grade 0 processes are then run with the discipline of mindfulness using “un-stacking the mind” per STEP 6 OF MINDFULNESS

.

.

ARC STRAIGHTWIRE PROCESSES

Here is Part 1 of the list of Scientology Grade 0 processes. You may run them by letting the mind un-stack itself. Please note that these processes may run out quite fast. You may go over all of them from beginning to end a second and a third time.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In KHTK (mindfulness) there should be no effort applied to recalling and remembering. Any such effort would violate the principle of letting the mind un-stack itself. If you recall, or remember, and the material simply appears, then that is fine. But, when no material appears, even when you know it is there, then you also know that something else needs to be un-stacked first. That something may be handled on some other process. So, please, don’t go digging into the mind. If you feel something is there just beyond awareness then simply observe patiently as required by mindfulness. The material will show up eventually.

A communication lag (comm lag) is the time it takes to get response from the mind to a question asked.

A lack of communication lag would mean that the mind is un-stacking properly. One would then run those processes first that produce the least comm lag. That would bring about maximum gain, and it would also help reduce comm lag on later processes.

A person trained on mindfulness can easily observe the communication lag within himself. He can then identify the Grade 0 process that produces minimal comm lag. He would run that process before others.

.

At any point you may reset the mind by doing the following exercise.

Mindfulness 12: Let it be effortless

.

REMEMBER SOMETHING

“Remember something.”

Please let the details of memory appear without any effort. If the memory does not appear, then something else needs to be un-stacked first. That may happen in some other process. So, please do not go digging for some memory. Just let it be.

A KHTK version of this process could be:

“Look around and spot an existing memory, thought or idea.”

The stress is on “existing”. One should not imagine a memory, thought or idea newly.

.

RECALL A TIME

“Recall a time.”

Just notice what comes up. Do not push. If you feel something is there then simply observe patiently as required by mindfulness. The material will show up eventually.

A KHTK version of this process could be:

“Look around and spot an existing desire, expectation or speculation.”

The stress is on “existing”. One should not imagine a desire, expectation or speculation newly.

.

COMM RECALL PROCESS

“Recall a Communication.”

A KHTK version of this process could be:

“Look around and spot a communication that has been lingering in your mind.”

.

THE ONLY BASIC AFFINITY PROCESS

“What would you like to confront?”

“What would another like to confront?”

“What would others like to confront?”

“What would you like to confront in yourself?”

To confront would be to “observe mindfully.”

Run these questions individually until each is exhausted (no further response). Note whatever comes up.

.

EXHAUSTION

“Recall Exhaustion.”

This is physical and mental exhaustion that is accompanied by tiredness.

.

PAST AND FUTURE EXPERIENCE

“What part of your life would you be willing to re-experience?”

“What part of the future would you be willing to experience?”

Run these questions alternately to exhaustion (no further response). The responses may uncover incidents that are difficult to confront. Just spot them accurately in time. Take whatever the mind brings up. Do not dig into the mind.

.

“Recall (or think of) something you wouldn’t mind…”

  1. Forgetting yourself

  2. Another person forgetting

(HD) In Aankhon Ki Masti – Umrao Jaan | Rekha | 1981

This is a wonderful discourse on desire. The song takes the viewpoint of the object of desire. It argues that there are so many out there who are desirous of me. You are not unique.

Om Jai Jagdish Hare

This is the traditional Hindu Aarti (devotional song) OM JAI JAGDISH HARE

This is a song from an old Indian movie (1951), which is my favorite. I call it an Indian rap song. It has the most wonderful description of the absolute reality (THAT, which is without name and form).

What is important to Teach

Lincoln

This is Abraham Lincoln’s Letter to his Son’s Teacher:

He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician,
there is a dedicated leader…
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,

Steer him away from envy,
if you can,
teach him the secret of
quiet laughter.

Let him learn early that
the bullies are the easiest to lick…
Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of books…
But also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.

In the school teach him
it is far honourable to fail
than to cheat…
Teach him to have faith
in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him
they are wrong…
Teach him to be gentle
with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son
the strength not to follow the crowd
when everyone is getting on the band wagon…
Teach him to listen to all men…
but teach him also to filter
all he hears on a screen of truth,
and take only the good
that comes through.

Teach him if you can,
how to laugh when he is sad…
Teach him there is no shame in tears,
Teach him to scoff at cynics
and to beware of too much sweetness…
Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag
on his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his ears
to a howling mob
and to stand and fight
if he thinks he’s right.
Treat him gently,
but do not cuddle him,
because only the test
of fire makes fine steel.

Let him have the courage
to be impatient…
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always
to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will have
sublime faith in mankind.

This is a big order,
but see what you can do…
He is such a fine little fellow,
my son!
