The Level of OT II

August 26, 2023 – 4:10 PM

Reference: Scientology OT Levels

According to Postulate Mechanics: 

  1. DIANETICS handles Engrams, Secondaries and Locks.
  2. SCIENTOLOGY handles Misjudgments and their consequences on the Grades. 
  3. OT LEVELS handle the underlying Postulates and Misconceptions.
  4. The OT Level I handles Beingness in general.
  5. The OT Level II handles GPMs starting from the earliest.

A GPM is a complexity arising from misconceptions. It is addressed by running a list of items that are designed to bring misconceptions to light. Here are Hubbard’s instructions for OT II:

LRH OT II Instructions

“There are 10 complete whole track tables. But only 1 of each kind of GPM in each table. This is a complete “Run” (1 of each kind). The sets belong to different entities. One finds the earliest set and runs it with care to stay in that set. Then one finds the next earliest set and so on for 10 sets. Just as in running the CC GPMs. The Electrical is the earliest in the run.

“The CC Supervisor must recompile (?) the table on the above, 1 of each type in that order, Electrical, the first to be run. When all ten runs have been run, the pc has completed the Sect II Course unless I add another series to it.”

The GPMs are arranged on a Whole Track Table from the earliest to the latest.

.

Whole Track Table

The Whole Track Table is as follows:

The Electrical GPM
The Tocky GPM
The Big Being GPM
The House GPM
The Psycho GPM
The Banky GPM
OT II Incidents
The Basic-Basic GPM
The Basic GPM
The Command GPM
The Lower LP GPM
The LP GPM
The Body GPM
The Lower BANK

.

The Subject Clearing Approach

These GPMs are run using Subject Clearing approach. The E-meter is not used. Instead, one contemplates on the items using The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness. When a confusion arises on an item, one looks at it more closely until the underlying misconception is spotted and resolved.

The genesis of GPM lies in awareness. Awareness begins with sensations. Once sensation are received, they acquire meaning through postulates. So the GPMs have to do with sensations and POSTULATES.

The postulates must be consistent among themselves to make sense. When we look at consistency very closely it appears continuous. And, in a large context, that consistency appears harmonious. So, for the GPM to come about there must be violations of continuity, consistency and harmony.

This is covered under the following basics of Subject Clearing:

  1. The Unknowable-Knowable
  2. The Postulate
  3. The Reality
  4. The Anomaly

According to Subject Clearing, GPMs are about clearing up the basic concepts and underlying postulates collectively and individually, such that there are no anomalies about them in one’s understanding.

Therefore, in order to resolve the GPMs, one must be able to spot anomalies. Most likely, one would have to run the set of the GPMs in the Whole Track Table several times, because the resolution of anomalies in the first run will make it possible to spot and resolve more anomalies in the second run, and so on. One runs the items in the given sequence of the GPM.

The earliest GPM is the Electrical GPM. One should now contemplate on each item of this GPM by opening one’s mind and letting the thoughts arise by themselves. As one finds something that does not make sense, one would also find an anomaly. As one looks at that anomaly more closely, it would produce a realization and resolve.

If nothing comes up on an item, one moves quickly to the next item. With this Subject Clearing approach one should be able to move through these GPMs at a good clip.

Comments: The Transfer

August 15, 2023 – 7:13 PM

Reference: A History of Man
Reference: CHAPTER TEN

Comments on CHAPTER TEN
The Transfer

The Transfer is actually the attention of a person getting fixated on the body. The transfer out is freeing of that attention.

Thetan is not a thing that has physical location. But the person has a viewpoint that can assume different locations to view from. The thetan is the intelligent self-aware programming, which is the upper end of the genetic DNA programming. 

A person can have a fixation on the body, and, at the same time, have a viewpoint that is looking at the body from a distance. A fixation has to do with the state of the mind.

As a person’s attention get increasingly fixated on the body, he thinking becomes increasingly stimulus-response. 

Prior to fixation on the body, there is fixation on oneself.

Even with fixation on the body, a person can still control his environment. But, over time, this control becomes less and less, until he can’t even control the body.

Thetan is “self-awareness programming” that can become aware of the facsimiles as such. But entities being “artificial intelligence programming” may find themselves identified with facsimiles. As a person resolves facsimiles along with entities, he starts to establish his self-identity more clearly.

The problem with the E-meter is that you cannot eliminate all of its reactions in auditing. Therefore, Hubbard is assigning the unsuitable E-meter reactions to the entities. Hubbard’s incredible and elaborate theories exist only to justify the use of E-meter.

Hubbard’s seems to be having a lot of difficulties in auditing, because lot of auditing hours are getting wasted, and the efficiency of auditing is quite low. He is trying to resolve them by coming up with arbitrary theories.

Hubbard is having difficulty differentiating between the thetan and the entities. Better auditing takes place when one directly addresses the fixations using The Discipline of Subject Clearing instead of the E-meter.

The kind of auditing recommended by Hubbard, simply serves to fix the attention on the body and on the thetan. So, the person does not free himself from fixation. This is a self-defeating approach. If you take the subject clearing approach of handling the fixation directly, it keeps your attention free.

Major problem in Scientology is fixation on the thetan and not just on the body. This auditing technique is unworkable. Unfortunately, this auditing approach is still part of the OT levels. More than 70 years have passed since this book was written, and we still do not have clearing occurring on a large scale.

ENTITY
An entity is programming, which exhibits some artificial intelligence. Therefore, an entity may be referred to as “artificial intelligence programming.”

PROGRAMMING
A program consists of coded instructions. The closer this instructions are to the machine language, the more simply but powerfully the program can be written.

When the instructions are very simple and straightforward, without any feedback, then the program responds in a set way. This is the kind of program that tells you the time in different countries. This compares to very simple stimulus-response type programming.

A sophisticated program may provide you with varied reactions depending of different inputs. This is more like the programming you may find in a cell. You may be surprised at the sophistication of programming in a cell.

Now, when you introduce feedback in the program, it is like introducing some awareness. The more feedback you incorporate at different stages of the program, the more aware you make the software. This too can be taken to a high level of sophistication.

But the self-awareness we see in a software displaying artificial intelligence is due to a very different kind of programming. This kind of programming allows the software to update itself based on the feedback. Thus, the software can grow in complexity as it gets more and more feedback. This is pretty similar to humans learning and becoming more experienced. But AI is nowhere close to the sophistication we find with human learning and intelligence.

Based on this model we can see the Genetic Entity and Thetan having different levels of programming. Genetic entity operates on feedback and it is very sophisticated, but it has limited capacity to update itself. On the other hand, Thetan is programmed for self-awareness. It can easily update itself based on experience. The Genetic Entity + Thetan, actually represent a whole gradient awareness and self-awareness types of programming and not just a two-step programming.

THETAN
The thetan is upper end programming that is intelligent and self-aware. It may be referred to as “self-awareness programming.” It is an extension of the genetic DNA programming. Thetan is not a thing that has physical location. But the thetan aspect of the person has a viewpoint that can assume different locations to view from.

Comments on CHAPTER NINE
Generalized Incidents

Here is how the unassimilated impressions may be assimilated:

(1) Find the area you would like to handle. You will be handling incidents, misconceptions and wrong postulates in that area.

(2) Look for an incident in your past that may be responsible for the dramatization in the present. 

(3) Recognize the motivator in that incident. Find the overts you have committed using that motivator.

(4) Scan through that incident, the motivator and all the related overts. The incident will lift only when you have the motivator and all related overts clearly identified.

(5) Instead of overts and motivator, there might be DEDs and DEDEX. They are very similar. Get them all.

(6) When there is an incident of MISASSIST, discover the underlying motivator-overt situation and clean it up.

(7) When there is an incident of DEGRADER, discover the underlying DEDEX-DED situation and clean it up.

(8) If you can’t find any more overts to motivator, or DEDs to DEDEX, look for misconceptions and clear them up.

(9) Part of this cleanup would be clearing up all misconceptions that could have led to that incident or situation.

(10) Lastly look for a wrong postulate that could have led to all those misconceptions, overts and DEDs.

Comments: Specific Incidents on the Theta Line

Comments on CHAPTER EIGHT
Specific Incidents on the Theta Line

A person is stuck with his body only when his attention is fixed on it. A person is clear when he has no fixations and no unassimilated impressions. 

There is a lot of false data around that undermines self-awareness. One has to work one’s way through it.

A person has pictures. When these pictures are not aligned per some basic postulate, such as, the principle of oneness, then there is a lot of confusion. Hubbard lacked such a basic postulate.

Knowing occurs when the incoming sensations are assimilated into the postulate-structure of the mental matrix. This assimilation produces the perception, which is made up of concepts and pictures. To communicate, this perception is converted into gestures and words. Hubbard lacked this model.

Electronic incidents consist of thought fields that interact to generate sensations. The facsimiles are unassimilated sensations, which are not yet converted into perceptions.

When awareness is evolving, the most primitive awareness is about impressions being received and played back. When assimilated , we get experience and thinking. When unassimilated, we get motivator and overts. Any assimilation of impressions would include both the motivator and the related overts.

As far as external influence is concerned, it can only restimulate unassimilated impressions. The restimulation can make a person visualize very strange occurrences.

Nipping appears to be a strange visualization by Hubbard of fixation on the body.

Blanketing is another strange visualization by Hubbard of fixation on the body.

The assimilation of impressions has created the blueprint of the body and the nervous system. Such assimilated impressions are not the target of auditing. The target of auditing are the anomalies of unassimilated impressions. The anomalies at this level appears to be misconceptions.

Hubbard’s visualizations are based on E-meter reads “confirming” his wild questioning. Therefore, all this data about bodies, and implants about bodies are nothing but theories of Hubbard.

A person should simply subject clear the concepts in the areas where he feels compulsions and conflicts.

Hubbard presents Facsimile One as a very basic incident found in many people. He views somatics as deep vibrations imposed on the body, which force a person to act in a certain way. Restimulation of this impression is the cause of psychotic breaks. Both motivator and overt aspects of an impression must be run to assimilate it fully.

“Before Earth” impression could refer to the beginning of self-awareness where one has to now contend with what one becomes aware of.

Entities are AI (artificial intelligence) units resulting from advanced DNA programming. These are patterns created by the interaction of thought fields. They are not as self-aware as the GE’s  AI extension, which becomes the thetan. The key anomaly is the lack of integration of the entities with the GE and thetan. Just bringing entities into a common awareness with thetan seems to assimilate them. 

Thetan after death reduces to a thought field of DNA molecules persisting in a dormant fashion. Hubbard describes this as the thetan being unconscious in the between-lives area. He also describes a thought field with certain characteristics as “invader force.” The ICE CUBE incident appears to be such thought fields interacting with each other and with the dormant field of the DNA molecule.

Between-lives is the DNA molecule of the dead person existing in a dormant form. The AI programming of an existing DNA molecule establishes resonance with DNA programming of a new baby soon after it is born. What is most interesting about Hubbard’s narration he preserved this 1952 data and inserted it at OT levels 16 years later. The whole theme of such implants is “fixation on body.”

“Coming to Earth” in THE EMANATOR is probably the beginning of self-awareness. GE’s expansion into self-awareness is equivalent to less attention on the body. Body is now maintained automatically with trust in certain programs. But the person is still dependent on the body. When sickness occurs or an accident happens, body immediately becomes an issue. This comes as a shock to the thetan whose attention was not on the body.

In the extreme case, the person may think that he had actually died, but then came back. This leaves the person badly disturbed. He feels that he has just learned the secret of the universe, but he can’t quite recall it. The solution lies in resolving the fixation on the body.

It appears that before an organism becomes self-aware, there is more intimate attention on the body. But with the beginning of self-awareness, that intimate attention on the body is replaced by programmed automation.

A Theta Trap reduces a thetan to a MEST body. In other words, it fixes the attention of a person on his body.

All these theta traps described in the chapter work only when one resists the force that one is feeling. If a person does not resist whatever is happening, his attention remains under his control, and he does not get trapped. 

A person gets trapped into an impression when he dramatizes it to harm another. Therefore, when you have located an overt, you must also locate the motivator that you used, in order to assimilate that impression. If an impression is not assimilating, then one has not found the motivator, or one still needs to find more overts.

E-meter is not necessary if the comments above are understood.

Definitions

ASSIMILATION
A person gets trapped into an impression when he dramatizes it to harm another. Therefore, when you have located an overt, you must also locate the motivator that you used, to assimilate that impression. If an impression is not assimilating, then one has not found the motivator, or one still needs to find more overts.

BETWEEN LIVES
Between-lives is the DNA molecule of the dead person existing in a dormant form. The AI programming of an existing DNA molecule establishes resonance with DNA programming of a new baby soon after it is born.

DEATH
Thetan after death reduces to a thought field of DNA molecules persisting in a dormant fashion. Hubbard describes this as the thetan being unconscious in the between-lives area.

ELECTRONIC INCIDENTS
Electronic incidents consist of thought fields that interact to generate sensations. 

ENTITIES
Entities are AI (artificial intelligence) units resulting from advanced DNA programming. These are patterns created by the interaction of thought fields. They are not as self-aware as the GE’s  AI extension, which becomes the thetan. The key anomaly is the lack of integration of the entities with the GE and thetan. Just bringing entities into a common awareness with thetan seems to assimilate them. 

FACSIMILES
The facsimiles are unassimilated sensations, which are not yet converted into perceptions.

INVADER FORCE
The “invader force” is, apparently, a thought field with certain characteristics. The ICE CUBE incident appears to be such thought fields interacting with each other and with the dormant field of the DNA molecule.

THETA TRAP
A Theta Trap reduces a thetan to a MEST body. In other words, it fixes the attention of a person on his body. All these theta traps work only when one resists the force that one is feeling. If a person does not resist whatever is happening, his attention remains under his control, and he does not get trapped.

Comments: Type of Incidents on the Theta Line

August 11, 2023 – 4:14 PM

Reference: A History of Man
Reference: CHAPTER SEVEN

Comments on CHAPTER SEVEN
Type of Incidents on the Theta Line

These incidents are different in the sense that self-awareness in involved in them. The case is occluded because of unassimilated impressions. Perception comes about only upon assimilation. Focus should be upon the assimilation of overts, motivators and DEDs.

Motivators are the impressions. Overts are the dramatization of those impressions. They need to be assimilated together. The natural approach would be to resolve anomalies in the sequence that they show up. This would be more like unburdening the case. This would make the running of the heavy incidents easier. 

When running an incident both motivator and overts must be brought up to awareness and assimilated. This should happen during unburdening as well. This is how you clean up an incident and get the underlying postulate. Current or previous life does not matter. Deeper incidents may appear as strange visualizations of misconceptions. You just handle the anomaly as it comes up.

Incidents do not become heavy if anomalies are handled in the sequence that they come up. To handle an anomaly follow The Discipline of Subject Clearing, and handle the motivator and related overts together, completely. If you do that then there would not be any adverse consequences.

There are invisible electromagnetic waves, such as the radio waves. Such waves register on the radio sets. Such waves exist as fields around us. The GE and thetan are thought fields around the body. According to Hubbard, such fields can interact with each other. Physical and thoughts fields may not interact with each other, But two thought fields may. A thought field can have the effect of push and pull on the thetan.

By electronics, Hubbard seem to refer to the interaction among thought fields in space. Insane people dramatize the presence of such fields effecting them. Hubbard seems to imply that thought fields may be artificially generated. Information is part of this thought field. Controlling information is one way of controlling this thought field. This is what the control of social media is all about. Earlier this influence was exerted through radio and TV. Today it has been intensified through the use of social media on Internet.

Thought and the current flowing through the nerves are intimately bound. This current influences all the motion of hormones and hence all the chemical reactions in the body. The influence then extends to mechanical motions of the body. GE and Thetan are the thought fields that surround the body and influence the currents of the nervous system. The external information field is the thought field that interacts with the thetan and GE and generates the push pull-effect on the body and on the overall beingness.

In theta line incidents we have the self-awareness of the thetan getting invalidated and suppressed. In other words, he is made unconscious. Therefore, we are subject clearing invalidation by force and unconsciousness.

Thinking in terms of DNA programming is better than thinking in terms of past lives. In theta line incidents we are looking at the invalidation and suppression of self-awareness. A person is also the body; the only problem is that he may have gotten his attention too fixed on the body due to invalidation. This is a key anomaly that needs to be resolved. We are looking at the interaction in terms of thought fields here.

Hubbard seems to have his attention fixed on MEST bodies and he is trying to separate thetan from the MEST bodies. However, the clearing of the following misconception may handle a lot of overts and motivators wholesale.

(1) A person’s beingness consists of “Theta (ability to postulate) + GE (body blueprint) + Thetan (self-awareness).”
(2) You need to handle the fixation on these three elements. 
(3) Once the fixation is handled, these elements reduce to three aspects of one’s beingness.
(4) The person then regains the confidence of who is and gets rid of all invalidation.

From the viewpoint of the principle of oneness, there is no “other.” There are anomalies only. We handle anomalies as incidents, misconceptions and wrong postulates.

Definition

DED
A DED is an incident the person does to another and for which he has no motivator—i.e. he punishes or hurts or wrecks something the like of which has never hurt him. Now he must justify the incident. He will use things which didn’t happen to him. He claims that the object of his injury really DEserveD it, hence the word DED, which is a sarcasm. 

MOTIVATOR
A motivator is an act received by the person causing injury, reduction or degradation of his beingness. In other words, a motivator is a harmful action performed by somebody else against the person. It is called a motivator because it tends to prompt that one pays it back.

OVERT
An overt act is something you have done that has resulted in injury or harm to another. It is an intentionally committed harmful act committed in an effort to resolve a problem. It is that thing which you do which you aren’t willing to have happen to you.
