Dianetics, Grades & OT Levels

Reference: The Book of Subject Clearing

When the universe impinges upon our senses, it causes sensations. The sensations then break up and get assimilated into the mental matrix. This activity of assimilation produces our perceptions. 

.

Dianetics

An INCIDENT is a period of a dramatic impingement during which the sensations generated make a unique impression on the mind. The more intense are these sensations, the harder they are to break up and assimilate. When there is no break up and assimilation, there is no perception at all.

The person is not aware of the unassimilated sensations in those incidents. Such sensations influence the mind in uncontrolled ways. They appear as unwanted conditions, such as, illness and disease at the physical level, and as aberrations at the mental level. 

The auditing of INCIDENTS is directed at breaking up the unassimilated sensations, and assimilating them in the mental matrix. When such assimilation takes place under auditing, the person perceives the incident clearly for the first time. This resolves many unwanted conditions. This is the level of DIANETICS.

.

Scientology Grades

We may think of sensations to break up into percels (perceptual elements). When assimilated, these percels form the elements of the mental matrix. This matrix continually grows and becomes more complex as sensations are assimilated. This matrix, as a whole, represents the experience of the person.

The mental matrix exists within a framework of postulates that a person holds. These postulates provide the meaning to percels. This meaning is further refined through their connections to each other within the matrix. The mental matrix naturally optimizes these connections and meanings to be continuous, consistent and harmonious. This produces the rationality of the mind.

When two things are different but not seen as such, then there is an identification. A percel is not refined enough if it contains identifications. Such identifications can be straightened out through auditing. As percels are refined through auditing, the consciousness increases, and so does the rationality of the person. The auditing to remove IDENTIFICATION and improve consciousness and rationality is the domain of Scientology GRADES.

.

OT Levels

A much deeper source of aberration are the MISCONCEPTIONS among the tightly held postulates of the person that govern the mental matrix. These postulates form the framework by which assimilation takes place in the mental matrix, and meanings are assigned.

This is a very deep level of aberration, but any realization at this level also brings about spiritual gains that go a long way. This is the domain of OT Levels.

.

Subject Clearing

Subject Clearing addresses the deep level of MISCONCEPTIONS in any subject. But the Subject Clearing approach can also be applied to the levels of INCIDENTS and IDENTIFICATIONS. Mindfulness is the basis of Subject Clearing. Its various aspects are described here:

The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness

Here is an example of the application of Subject Clearing.

The Book of Universe

.

Grade 1 Processes

Reference: Grassroots Scientology

NOTE: These processes are obtained from Hubbard’s research in Dianetics and Scientology. For any technical words specific to this research, please consult the Scientology Technical Dictionary.

Grade 1 processes are the next after Grade 0 ProcessesPlease make sure that you have completed the prerequisite.

The processes on Grade 1 help a person overcome his fixations. Such fixations prevent him from resolving problems. A present time problem (PTP) is a problem that exists in present time for him.

CCH processes help reduce fixation with respect to the body. Other processes make the person observe things more closely, which help reduce fixations and the problems resulting from them. Grade 1 addresses mistrust, worry and problems in general, by helping uncover some underlying fixations.

A person runs these processes using the Subject Clearing approach. In this approach, neither an auditor nor an E-meter is required. The person simply contemplates over the process command using The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness.

The data immediately following each process explains the understanding that is possible. But one must run the process to actually experience and obtain the understanding the process provides.

The EP (end phenomena) of a process occurs when no new answers to process command are coming up; and the person has a happy feeling that he has honestly covered the whole ground, which the process command pertains to. Of course, he can run that process once again later after running some other processes, if he feels he can get more answers out of it. 

.

Instructions

  1. These processes are run by oneself applying The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness instead of depending on the E-meter.
  2. In response to the commands of these processes, simply look without thinking. Let the mind present you with the answer. If no answer comes up within a reasonable time, you have reached the EP (end phenomenon) for the moment.
  3. These commands tend to be general. The better you understand the command and its scope, the more answers shall come up.
  4. The answers that come up, shall depend on the level of your confront. The higher is your confront the deeper shall be the answers that come up. Your confront improves as you do the processing. After completing a grade, if you repeat it again, you may find some new answers coming up.
  5. “Repetitive to EP” means you contemplate over the command and acknowledge each answer, until no more answers are coming up.
  6. “Run alternately to EP” means that you contemplate over the two commands alternatively, until no more answers are coming up.
  7. “Run the bracket in sequence to EP” means that you sequentially contemplate on the commands provided as a bracket, until no more answers are coming up.
  8. “To EP” is the abbreviation for the above. When there is a single command you run it repetitively. When there are more than one command, you run them as a group, repetitively.

Processes

CCH Processes 1-10
CCH stands for “control, communication and havingness.” When a person applies control, he obtains communication which gives him havingness. It is an infallibe method of entrance on one’s case. Please access these drills at Training and CCH Processes. These drills are best done with a partner who is familiar with the drill and who assists you as a coach in carrying out the drill.

.

NUMBER: CCH 0

NAME: Rudiments, Goals and Present Time Problem.

COMMANDS: Establishing session beginning by calling attention to room, auditor and the session to begin. Discussing the preclear’s goals for the session. Auditor asks for present time problem and settles it with problems of comparable magnitude or incomparable magnitude or by Locational Processing. In general, remarks and commands enough to bring about ARC at session’s beginning but not enough to run down havingness of the preclear.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear seated at a comfortable distance apart.

PURPOSE: To make known the beginning of a session to a preclear and the auditor so that no error as to its beginning is made. To put the preclear into a condition to be audited.

TRAINING STRESS: To begin sessions, not just let them happen. To educate the student into the actual elements of a session and condition of preclears. To stress the inability to audit something else when present time problem is not flat. To demonstrate what happens when preclear doesn’t know session has begun or has no goals for it or what happens when present time problem only half flat when other things are engaged upon. Stress that it is done each session. Explain closure mechanism of problem with preclear, the solution of “the liability of solutions”.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in Elizabeth, N.J., 1950; Goals in Wichita, Kansas in 1951; Present Time Problem, London, 1952; Rudiments, Phoenix, 1955.

CCH 0 puts a person into a condition to conduct a successful session. The whole idea is to extrovert the attention and bring it into present time. Do the following checklist using mindfulness approach:

  1. Have a partner there, who is familiar with the session materials, to assist you with the session.
  2. Establish session beginning by putting attention on the room, on your partner, and orienting yourself.
  3. Look at your goals for the session and explain them to your partner.
  4. Describe a problem comparable to your present time problem (PTP) to your partner.
  5. Describe more of such problems until you feel your attention to be extroverted.
  6. Look around and locate things in your present environment to bring attention into present time.
  7. Know this to be the beginning; and start the session.

.

NUMBER: CCH 1

NAME: “Give me that Hand”, Tone 40.

COMMANDS: “Give me that hand.” Physical action of taking hand when not given and then replacing it in preclear’s lap. And “Thank you” ending cycle. All Tone 40 with clear intention, one command in one unit of time, no originations of preclear acknowledged in any way verbally or physically. May be run on right hand, left hand, both hands, each one flattened in turn.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear seated, in chairs without arms, close together. Auditor’s knees both to auditor’s left of preclear’s knees, outside of auditor’s right thigh against outside of preclear’s right thigh. This position reversed for left hand. In both hands preclear’s knees are between auditor’s knees.

PURPOSE: To demonstrate to preclear that control of preclear’s body is possible, despite revolt of circuits, and inviting preclear to directly control it. Absolute control by auditor then passes over toward absolute control of his own body by preclear.

TRAINING STRESS: Never stop process until a flat place is reached. To process with good Tone 40. Auditor taught to pick up preclear’s hand by wrist with auditor’s thumb nearest auditor’s body, to have an exact and invariable place to carry preclear’s hand to before clasping, clasping hand with exactly correct pressure, replacing hand (with auditor’s left hand still holding preclear’s wrist) in preclear’s lap. Making every command(l and cycle separate. Maintaining Tone 40. Stress on intention from auditor to preclear with each command. To leave an instant for preclear to do it by own will before auditor does it. Stress Tone 40 precision. To keep epicenters balanced. CCH I (b) should also be flattened.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in the 17th ACC, Washington, D.C., 1957.

This process helps a person control his body with greater ease. As the person runs this process, he overcomes any resistance to control his hand. This resistance may start as an unwillingness, or a feeling of futility in doing this exercise. The person then recognizes that this resistance is not him. As he continues with the process, the person recognizes the nature of the resistance, at which point the resistance blows, and the person can control his hand and body effortlessly.

.

NUMBER: CCH 2

NAME: “You look at that wall.” Tone 40 8-C.

COMMANDS: “Look at that wall.” “Thank you.” “Walk over to that wall.” “Thank you.” “With the right hand, touch that wall.” “Thank you.” “Turn around.” “Thank you.” Run without acknowledging in any way any origin by preclear, acknowledging only preclear’s execution of the command. Commands smoothly enforced physically. Tone 40, full intention.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear ambulant, auditor in physical contact with preclear as needed.

PURPOSE: To demonstrate to preclear that his body can be directly controlled and thus inviting him to control it. Finding present time. Havingness. Other effects not fully explained.

TRAINING STRESS: Absolute auditor precision. No drops from Tone 40. No flubs. Total present-time auditing. Auditor turns preclear counterclockwise then steps always on preclear’s right side. Auditor’s body acts as block to forward motion when preclear turns. Auditor gives command, gives preclear a moment to obey, then enforces command with physical contact of exactly correct force to get command executed. Auditor does not check preclear from executing commands.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in Washington, D.C., 1957, for the 17th ACC.

A person gets most out of these CCHs when he has this exercise run on him, as well as when he runs this exercise on another. The result is a wonderful sense of cooperation and oneness. The participants in this exercise become aware of their own reactions. This opens the door to overcoming these reaction. The person realizes that the actual opponent is the reactive mind, and not the other person.

.

NUMBER: CCH 3

NAME: Book Mimicry.

COMMANDS: Auditor makes a simple or complex motion with a book. Hands book to preclear. Preclear makes motion, duplicating auditor’s mirror image-wise. Auditor asks preclear if he is satisfied that the preclear duplicated the motion. If preclear is and auditor is also fairly satisfied, auditor takes book and goes to next command. If preclear says he is and auditor fairly sure preclear isn’t, auditor takes back book and repeats command and gives book to preclear again for another try. If preclear is not sure he duplicated any command auditor repeats it for him and gives him back the book. Tone 40 only in motions. Verbal two-way quite free.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear seated facing each other a comfortable distance apart.

PURPOSE: To bring up preclear’s communication with control and duplication. (Control + duplication = communication.)

TRAINING STRESS: Stress giving preclear wins. Stress auditor’s necessity to duplicate his own commands. Circular motions are more complex than straight lines.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard for the 16th ACC in Washington, D.C., 1957. Based on duplication developed by LRH in London, 1952.

This exercise drills a person to see things as they are. Initially nobody will have difficulty in doing this exercise, except for a few whose attention is too distracted to concentrate at all. But when done for 20 minutes or more, the fragile concentration of more people will start to show up. So this drill must be continued for a reasonable amount of time that ensures that the individual has enough concentration to later do the subjective processes of Scientology.

.

NUMBER: CCH 4

NAME: Hand Space Mimicry.

COMMANDS: Auditor raises two hands, palms facing preclear’s and says, “Put your hands against mine, follow them and contribute to their motion.” He then makes a simple motion with right hand, then left. “Did you contribute to the motion?” “Good.” “Put your hands in your lap.” When this is flat the auditor does this same thing with a half inch of space between his and preclear’s palms. When this is flat auditor does it with a wider space and so on until preclear is able to follow motions a yard away.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear seated, close together facing each other, preclear’s knees between auditor’s.

PURPOSE: To develop reality on the auditor using the reality scale (solid comm line). To get preclear into comm by control + duplication.

TRAINING STRESS: That auditor be gentle and accurate in his motions, giving preclear wins. To be free in two-way comm.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in Washington, 1956, as a therapeutic version of Dummy Hand Mimicry. Something was needed to supplant “Look at me. Who am l?” and “Find the Auditor” part of rudiments.

This exercise is similar to the previous exercise (CCH 3). It also drills a person in recognizing things exactly as they are; but it requires a bit more concentration and anticipation. The position of auditor and pc indicates that unwillingness is expected from the pc and that auditor may have to control the pc physically if necessary. However, this may not be the case with a person doing Grassroots Scientology. The relatively unwilling cases can always be audited at a regular Scientology organization.

.

NUMBER: CCH 5

NAME: Location by Contact.

COMMANDS: “Touch that (indicated object).” “Thank you.”

POSITION: Auditor and preclear may be seated where the preclear is very unable, in which case they are seated at a table which has a number of objects scattered on its surface. Or auditor and preclear may be ambulant, with the auditor in manual contact with the preclear as is necessary to face him toward and guide him to the indicated object.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the process is to give the preclear orientation and havingness and to improve his perception.

TRAINING STRESS: Training stress is upon gentleness, ARC and the raising of the preclear’s certainty that he has touched the indicated object. It should be noticed that this can be run on blind people.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard from Locational Processing in 1957.

This is an excellent exercise that rapidly puts the attention of the person in sync with the physical universe, thus bringing him into present time. This exercise has been used to assist those who are depressed, interiorized, or in deep distress. It pulls them back into present every time. The person can then be helped better with his problems when more of his attention is in the present.

.

NUMBER: CCH 6

NAME: Body-Room Contact.

COMMANDS: “Touch your (body part).” “Thank you.” “Touch that (indicated room object).” “Thank you.”

POSITION: Auditor and preclear move about together as needed, the auditor enforcing the commands by manual contact using the preclear’s hands to touch objects and touch body parts.

PURPOSE: To establish the orientation and increase the havingness of the preclear and to give him in particular a reality on his own body.

TRAINING STRESS: Training Stress is upon using only those body parts which are not embarrassing to the preclear as it will be found that the preclear ordinarily has very little reality on various parts of his body. Impossible commands should not be given to the preclear in any case.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in 1957 in Washington, D.C., as a lower step than Body-Room Show Me.

This process serves to synchronize the reality of the body with the reality of the physical environment. The moment a person sees body as part of the physical environment, as well as one’s interface to the physical environment, his whole attitude changes.

.

NUMBER: CCH 7

NAME: Contact by Duplication.

COMMANDS: “Touch that table.” “Thank you.” “Touch your (body part).” “Thank you.” “Touch that table.” “Thank you.” “Touch your (same body part).” “Thank you.” “Touch that table.” “Thank you.” “Touch your (same body part).” “Thank you,” etc., in that order.

POSITION: Auditor may be seated. Preclear should be walking. Usually auditor standing by to manually enforce the commands.

PURPOSE: Process is used to heighten perception, orient the preclear and raise the preclear’s havingness. Control of attention as in all these “contact” processes naturally takes the attention units out of the bank which itself has been controlling the preclear’s attention.

TRAINING STRESS: Training stress is on precision of command and motion, with each command in its unit of time, all commands perfectly duplicated. Preclear to continue to run process even though he dopes off. Good ARC with the preclear, not picking one body part which is aberrated at first but flattening some non-aberrated body part before aberrated body part is tackled.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in 1957 in Washington, D.C., as a lower level process than Opening Procedure by Duplication, or Show Me by Duplication. All contact processes have been developed out of the Pre-Logics.

This process is similar to CCH 6 but more intense. It is run on a body part on which a person’s attention is fixated. The process frees up that fixated attention.

.

NUMBER: CCH 8

NAME: Trio.

COMMANDS: “Look around the room (environment) and tell me something you could have.” Run until flat. “Look around the room and tell me something the body (body part) can’t have.” Valence form: “Look around the room and tell me something mother (or other valence) can’t have.” Long form: “Look around the room and tell me what you could have.” Run flat. “Look around the room and tell me something you would permit to remain.” Run flat. “Look around the room and tell me what you could dispense with.” Dispense in long form is sometimes run first when preclear is set on wasting.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear seated at a comfortable distance both facing toward majority of the room.

PURPOSE: To remedy havingness objectively.

TRAINING STRESS: Run it smoothly without invalidative questions. One of the most effective processes known when thinkingness can be controlled somewhat. Run when havingness drops or for a full intensive.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in London in 1955. Name derived from the three questions of the long form. Originally called the “Terrible Trio”

Havingness is having such an intimate awareness of the environment (along with the situations in it), that one can flow with it and control that flow according to the natural laws. This process generates that awareness when applied thoroughly.

.

NUMBER: CCH 9

NAME: Tone 40 “Keep it from going away.”

COMMANDS: “Look at that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Walk over to that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Touch that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Keep it from going away.” “Thank you.” “Did you keep it from going away?” “Thank you,” and so forth.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear ambulant. Auditor assisting by manual contact.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the process is to increase havingness of the preclear and bring about his ability to keep things from going away, which ability lost, accounts for the possession of psychosomatic illnesses.

TRAINING STRESS: The training stress is on precision and accuracy and finding out that this is actually Tone 40 8-C with a thinkingness addition. This is the first step on to the route of making things solid.

HlSTORY: Developed in 1956 in London, England, by L. Ron Hubbard.

“Keep it from going away” means to consciously keep it there. This can be done only by putting attention on it and keeping it there. A person could be touching things mechanically with attention elsewhere, or scattered all over the place. For that person, the things he is touching are not really there. This process puts a person’s attention back on what he is touching. This increases the person’s havingness.

.

NUMBER: CCH 10

NAME: Tone 40 “Hold it still.”

COMMANDS: “Look at that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Walk over to that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Touch that (indicated object).” “Thank you.” “Hold it still.” “Thank you.” “Did you hold it still’?” “Thank you,” etc., in that order.

POSITION: Auditor and preclear ambulant. Auditor assisting by manual contact.

PURPOSE: To improve an individual’s ability to make things more solid and to assert his ability to control his environment.

TRAINING STRESS: Same as CCH 9.

HISTORY: Developed by L. Ron Hubbard in London, England, in 1956.

“Hold it still” also means to consciously keep it there by putting attention on it. This is alternate version of CCH 9. Some people may respond better to CCH 10 than to CCH 9.

.

R2-67: Objects

“Locate some objects.” …………………. repetitively to EP

(Exerpted from Book: Creation of Human Ability)

R2-67: To a person who cannot hold the two back corners of the room, the simple location of objects is valuable. When a person is self-auditing, this is a very valuable solo process.

The command is: ‘Locate some objects’, etc. The person looks at them or puts his attention on them and notes what they are. This is all there is to the process. For variation, one locates some more objects. By object is meant physical universe, present time, visible objects.

(Comment)

You are locating the objects in terms of their distance and direction relative to your position. You are also locating the objects in terms of their distance and direction relative to each other. Essentially, you are orienting yourself in a physically static environment. This provides you with a stable datum that reduces your confusion.

In addition you are also looking at what the object is. It can lead you into many different directions. You may suddenly recognize what makes an object as to its nature. You may grasp how objects fit with other things in nature, and so on.

.

3-Part Locational

“Notice that (room object).” “Thank you.” …………………. to EP

“Look at that (room object).” “Thank you.” 
“Look at your (foot, hand, knee etc.).” “Thank you.”
……….. to EP

“Show me that (room object).” “Thank you.”
“Show me your (foot, hand, knee etc.).” “Thank you.”
……….. to EP

This process helps you look at your body part as an object. This extroverts your attention with respect to that body part.

.

R2-17 Opening Procedure by Duplication
Handle and place book on table, bottle on another table. Do the following commands alternately with a book and a bottle.

“Look at that _____.” 
“Walk over to it.” 
“Pick it up.” 
“What is it’s color?” 
“What is it’s temperature?” 
“What is it’s weight?” 
“Put it down in exactly the same place.”
…………………. to EP

This is really an effective process if done for hours, until a person really feels extroverted.

Opening Procedure by Duplication is begun only after a person has some reality on his environment, else he goes through it mechanically. The first part of this procedure is to get the person to examine, communicate with and familiarize himself with two dissimilar objects (usually a book and a bottle). These objects are then placed several feet apart and at a level so that the person can pick them up without bending over, but so that he has to walk between them. The person then begins the Procedure with the commands, as above. He executes the commands first with one object and then with the other over and over again. He may go through many emotions and reactions until he is doing it knowingly, spontaneously and cheerfully, each time seeing the items newly. This is a process which is done by the hour. The process is better when done consecutively for so many hours rather than done an hour apiece each day for several days.

.

Start, Change, Stop

—STAND STILL
“Now I want you to get your body moving down the room when I so indicate and when I tell you to ‘stand still’, I want you to make that body stand still. Do you understand that?”
“Good.” 
“Stand still.” 
“Did you make that body stand still?” 
“Thank you.”
 …………………. to flat point

—START 
“I am going to tell you to start. And when I tell you to start, you start the body in that direction. Do you understand that?” 
“Good.” 
“Start” 
“Did you start that body?” 
“Thank you.”
 …………………. to flat point

—STOP 
“I am going to tell you to get the body moving in that direction. Some where along the line I will tell you to stop. Then you stop the body. Do you understand that?” 
“Good.” 
“Get the body moving.” 
“Stop.” 
“Did you stop the body?” 
“Thank you.”
 …………………. to flat point

—CHANGE 
“Do you see that spot?” “Good.” 
“We will call that spot A. Now you stand here. OK.” 
“Now do you see that other spot?” “Good.” 
“We’ll call that spot B.” “Alright.”
“Now when I ask you to change the body, I want you to change the body’s position from A to B. Do you understand that?”
 

The preclear says he does and the auditor stepping back from the preclear says,
“Change.” 

The preclear then changes the body’s position. Similarly in using the various points and combinations of points A, B, C & D, the auditor runs the preclear on change until that particular process seems to be flat or goes to EP.) …………………. to flat point

These steps (as above) are now repeated as they will have unflattened. Each is re-flattened in turn and run over and over again.  …………………. to EP

This is a classic process. On this process, the person consciously starts the body’s motion, consciously stops the body’s motion, consciously changes the body’s position, and consciously holds the body still. The key point is doing these actions consciously and knowingly.

In Scientology, the auditor directs the person. But in mindfulness approach, the person can do this process himself by giving himself the commands. If the person cannot do the process himself, then his partner can direct him through it.

.

Contro Trio

“Get the idea of having that (indicated object).”  …………………. to EP
“Get the idea that it is all right to permit that (indicated object) to continue.” …. to EP
“Get the idea of making that (indicated object) disappear.”  ……….. to EP

For many people, their imagination is out of their control. In extreme cases, a person’s imagination can turn into hallucination. This process basically helps a person manipulate his imagination and, thus, get in control of it to a greater degree. It was fun for me to imagine the effect of making an object disappear.

.

Goals
Auditor 2 way comms to pc certainty and gradually increases span of time: 1 hr, 3 days, 1 week, 3 months, 1 year etc.       

“What are you absolutely sure will happen in the next 2 minutes?”  … to EP
“Tell me something that you would like to do in the next 2 minutes.”  … to EP

Or,

“Tell me something that you are sure will be there in 2 minutes.” Etc.  … to EP
“Tell me something that you would like to have in the next 2 minutes.”  … to EP

This is a great process. It makes you look. What I can say with certainty is that the goal TO KNOW will always be there. This goal may take different forms from one individual to another, or from one era to another; but this goal to know and the resulting evolution shall always be there, whether life is there or not.

.

Opening Procedure SOP 8-C

—PART A 
Select objects in room, direct pc’s attention to them. 

“Do you see that _____?” 
“Go over to it and put your hand on it.” 
“Now look at _____.” 
“Now walk over and put your hand on it.”
 …………………. to EP

This is done with various objects without specifically designating spots of a more precise nature than an object until pc is very certain that he is in good communication with these objects & the walls & other parts of the room.

PART A HAS BEEN ENLARGED by the auditor’s selecting exact spots. eg. 

“Do you see that ‘black mark’ on the ‘left arm of that chair’?” 
“All right, go over to it and put your finger on it.” 
“Now take your finger off it.”
  …………………. to EP

Done until the pc has uniform perception of any and all objects in the room.

—PART B
Done until pc freely selecting spots in the room – this means that his perception of the room has become uniform.            

“Find a spot in this room.” 
“Go over to it and put your finger on it.” 
“Now let go of it.”
  …………………. to EP

—PART C
Run the process repetitively until all comm lags are reduced and until the pc’s very certain he’s seeing, selecting, and touching the spots.

“Find a spot in the room.” 
“Make up your mind when you are going to touch it and then touch it.” 
“Make up your mind when you are going to let go of it and then let go.”
 … to EP

This process restores the ability of the person to look more closely on his own determinism without any preconceived notions. This is the key to resolving anomalies.

.

Help Processes (1)
2 way comm on help is the first process to clear the help button. Get the pc’s views on the subject of help.

Discuss another helping pc. …………………. to EP
Discuss Pc helping others. …………………. to EP
Discuss Others helping others. …………….. to EP
Discuss Pc helping self. …………………. to EP

.

Help Processes (2)

“What problem could another’s help be to you?” …………………. to EP
“What problem could your help be to another?” …………………. to EP
“What problem could another’s help be to other’s?” …………….. to EP
“What problem could helping yourself be to you?” …………………. to EP

OR, 

“What problem has another’s help be to you?” …………………. to EP
“What problem has your help been to another?” …………………. to EP
“What problem has another’s help been to other’s?” …………… to EP
“What problem has helping yourself been to you?” …………………. to EP

OR,

“What help of another’s could you confront?” 
“What help of another’s would you rather not confront?”
……………. to EP

“What help of yours could another confront?”
“What help of yours would another rather not confront?”
……………. to EP

“What help from others could others confront?” 
“What help from others would others rather not confront?”
…………. to EP

“What help of yours could you confront?” 
“What help of yours would you rather not confront?”
…………….. to EP

These processes provide the sense that we all are one because we are evolving together toward the ultimate goal: TO KNOW. Help is another way of saying that we are operating together in unison. Help becomes a problem when we get too fixated on individual selves and lose the flexibility. We can all think of such instances when we were too fixated on ourself and it slowed the progress of all. The idea of confront tells us where the inflexibility or fixation may lie.

.

Failed Help

“How could another prevent your help?” 
“How could another fail to help you?”
…………………. to EP

“How could you prevent another’s help?” 
“How could you fail to help another?”
…………………. to EP

“How could others prevent others help?” 
“How could you fail to help others?”
…………………. to EP

“How could you prevent help for yourself?” 
“How could you fail to help yourself?”

Help is basically a cooperation in moving toward the common goal of surviving, learning and evolving. The only thing that would prevent help is some kind of fixation, such as, fixed ideas, entrenched beliefs, bias and prejudice. All these fixations may be grouped together as a fixation on self. Such a fixation on self exists when there are unassimilated sensations, perceptions, memories, experiences, etc. This “Failed Help” process puts attention of the person on his fixations and on fixations in general. It is this awareness that starts to resolve a person’s own fixations.

Formula 16

“Who has not intended to help you?” 
“Who has helped you?”
…………………. to EP

“Who have you intended not to help?” 
“Who have you helped?”
…………………. to EP

“Who has intended not to help others?” 
“Who has helped others?”
…………………. to EP

“How have you intended not to help yourself?” 
“How have you helped yourself?”
…………… to EP

This process makes you look at people in your life in an interesting way. Those who didn’t intend to help you were fixated on themselves and were trying to handle their own problems. Those who did help you were more extroverted. Also, it is difficult to help people who are fixated on themselves. It is much easier to help extroverted people. There are problems that fixate your attention. It is easier to move beyond such problems when you take on more problems to solve.

Formula 17 (1)
This is especially for the person who has been to healers, hypnotists, spiritualists, psychologists, ministers, religious family members, etc. Run on charged terminals (general terminals and specific persons connected with pc’s past.)

“How could a _____ fail to help you?” …………………. to EP
“How could you fail to help a _____?” …………………. to EP
“How could a _____ fail to help others?” …………………. to EP
“How could you fail to help yourself regarding a _____?” ….. to EP

.

Formula 17 (2)

“How could a _____ help you?” …………………. to EP
“How could you help a _____?” …………………. to EP
“How could a _____ help others?” …………………. to EP
“How could you help yourself regarding a _____?” ….. to EP

A person who has been to healers, hypnotists, spiritualists, psychologists, ministers, religious family members, etc., is obviously looking for help. He has not received the help he is looking for. That means, people in his past have failed to help him. You find those in that person’s past whom he expected to be helped by , but he didn’t get that help he needed. You take such terminals (people) one at a time and run this process on them. Such terminals could be mother, father, a sibling, a friend, a doctor, a healer, etc.

.

Five Way Concept Help
Run on general charged terminals.

“Think of a _____ helping you.” …………………. to EP
“Think of you helping a _____.” …………………. to EP
“Think of a _____ helping others.” ……………… to EP
“Think of others helping a _____.” ……………… to EP
“Think of a _____ helping a _____.”  …………….. to EP

Make a list of all people and things that your attention often goes to. Arrange them in the order of their relevance. Run the above commands on the list items starting from the top. A good communication line must exist before help can flow on it.

.

Concept Help O/W
Run on charged terminals and on the following items: a confusion, an unconscious person, a responsible person, a creative person. 

“Think of a _____ helping you.” 
“Think of a _____ not helping you.”
…………… to EP

“Think of helping a _____.” 
“Think of not helping a _____.”
…………………. to EP

“Think of a _____ helping others.” 
“Think of a _____ not helping others.”
………… to EP

“Think of you as a _____ helping yourself.” 
“Think of you as a _____ not helping yourself.”
….. to EP

Make a list of all people and things that your attention often goes to. Add the following items to this list: a confusion, an unconscious person, a responsible person, a creative person. Arrange all items in the order of their relevance. Run the above commands on the list items starting from the top. This is a very interesting process.

.

Help O/W
This lets the pc as-is his failures to help as well as his denials of help.

“What help has another given you?” 
“What help has another not given you?”
………… to EP

“What help have you given another?“ 
“What help have you not given another?“
……….. to EP

“What help have others given others?” 
“What help have others not given others?”
……… to EP

“What help have you given yourself.” 
“What help have you not given yourself.”
……….. to EP

As this process says, it does make a person look at his failures to help as well his denials of help. When the person looks at such moments closely, the charge blows off.

.

Five Way Bracket on Help
The following commands are run consecutively as one process. 

“How could you help me?” 
“How could I help you?” 
“How could you help another?” 
“How could another help you?” 

“How could another help another?” ……….. to EP

We all can help each other by resolving anomalies as we come across them. That is the way to personal growth; and to growth as a society and mankind. An ANOMALY is something that doesn’t make sense. Actually, an anomaly is a violation of ONENESS, in the form of discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

.

Running Help on an Item
Run on charged terminals. Also, find the Dynamic on which helping is the least real to you, run help on it.

“How could a _____ help you?” …………………. to EP
“How could you help a _____?” …………………. to EP
“How could a _____ help others?” …………………. to EP
“If you were a _____ how could you help yourself?” ………… to EP

Make a list of all people and things that occupy your attention. Add to this list the eight dynamics. Now arrange the items on this list in the order that they still generate charge (tension) for you, with the most charged item at the top. Run the items on this list through this process, starting from the top. If there are no charged items left after running other processes then you do not have to run this process.

We resolve problems by helping each other. We get suspicious of help because of betrayals in the past. The solution is to become more aware of anomalies, but not give up on help. This process can be run any time you come across a charged item.

.

Regimen Two
“What motion has helped you?” 
“What motion has not helped you?”
…………………. to EP

“What motion have you helped?” 
“What motion have you not helped?”
…………………. to EP

“What motion has helped others?” 
“What motion has not helped others?”
…………………. to EP

“What motion have you helped yourself with?” 
“What motion have you not helped yourself with?”
….. to EP

The goal of this universe is to evolve. This is achieved through the assimilation of sensations, perceptions, memories, experiences, and knowledge. With the assimilation, one arrives at wisdom. Thus, the basic motion involves resolving anomalies and obtaining new knowledge. This takes as many different forms as there are people. Look and see what form it has taken for you. For me it has been education, research and application of knowledge in the field of sciences.

.

Formula 20 (1)
“Who has failed to control you?” …………………. to EP
“Who have you failed to control?” …………………. to EP
“Who have others failed to control?” ……………… to EP
“How have you failed to control yourself?” …….. to EP

.

Formula 20 (2)

“What has failed to control you?” …………………. to EP
“What have you failed to control?” ……………….. to EP
“What have others failed to control?” …………….. to EP
“What have you failed to control in yourself?” …. to EP

.

Formula 20 (3)

“Who has helped you?” …………………. to EP
“Who have you helped?” ……………….. to EP
“Who has helped others?” ……………… to EP
“How have you helped yourself?” …… to EP

I guess I myself have failed to control me. It is the laws of nature that are controlling me. To control myself I have to understand all the laws of nature. It is my understanding, and my effort to understand that has helped me the most. Your answers may be different. But get the answers that are most satisfactory to you.

All the knowledge that exists has definitely helped me starting with Hinduism, Scientology and Buddhism.

.

Invent Problem Process
Fill in the blank with pc’s worry or malady. Several different items can be run; in turn. 

“Invent a problem you could have with another for which _____ is the answer.” ….. to EP
“Invent a problem another could have with you for which _____ is the answer.” ….. to EP
“Invent a problem another could have with others for which _____ is the answer” ….. to EP
“Invent a problem you could have with yourself for which _____ is the answer.” ….. to EP

Make a list of all the things that you are worried about and all the things that you are suffering from. Arrange the items on the list in the order that they are relevant to you. Then, starting from the top of the list, run the items through this process. I certainly had fun with this process.

.

HAS V (1)

“Get the idea of solving a problem.” 
“Get the idea of not solving a problem.”
…………………. to EP

“Get the idea of another solving a problem.” 
“Get the idea of another not solving a problem.”
……….. to EP

“Get the idea of others solving a problem.” 
“Get the idea of others not solving a problem.”
…………. to EP

“Get the idea of you solving a problem of your own.” 
“Get the idea of you not solving a problem of your own.”
… to EP

.

HAS V (2)
The Case Supervisor may add a terminal if the pc complains about lots of problems with that terminal. The commands used would be: 

“Get the idea of solving a problem with (terminal).” 
“Get the idea of not solving a problem with (terminal).”
……………….. to EP

“Get the idea of (terminal) solving a problem with.you.” 
“Get the idea of (terminal) not solving a problem with you.”
………….. to EP

“Get the idea of (terminal) solving a problem with others.” 
“Get the idea of (terminal) not solving a problem with others.”
…….. to EP

“Get the idea of solving a problem you gave yourself about (terminal).” 
“Get the idea of not solving a problem you gave yourself about (terminal).”
… to EP

This is an excellent process that gives you hope. It may even bring up a long forgotten problem to your attention and help you solve it.

.

Problems Process for PTPs (1)
Run on key charged terminal in PTP. 

“Invent something worse than_____.” …………………. to EP
“Invent something worse for _____ than you.” ……… to EP
“Invent something worse for others than _____” ….. to EP
“Invent something worse for yourself than _____” …. to EP

.

Problems Process for PTPs (2)

“Spot where (key terminal in PTP) is now.” 
“Spot where you are now.” …………………. to EP

List all the things and people that are part of the PTP (present time problem). Arrange them in the order that is relevant to you, with the most relevant item on top. Then run this process on each item starting from the top. This is an excellent process to free up stuck viewpoints. You may stop this process when there is a significant shift in viewpoint. Have fun with it.

.

Problem of Comparable Magnitude
Run on key charged terminal of problem. NOTE: The second question can be omitted only if the pc tells you how it could be a problem in answering the first question. 

“Invent a problem that is of comparable magnitude to _____” 
“How could that be a problem to you?” 
“Can you conceive yourself figuring on that?”
……………… to EP

“Invent a problem that is of comparable magnitude to you for _____” 
“How could that be a problem to _____?” 
“Can you conceive _____ figuring on that?”
…………………. to EP

“Invent a problem that is of comparable magnitude to _____ for others.” 
“How could that be a problem to others?” 
“Can you conceive _____ figuring on that?”
…………………. to EP

“Invent a problem that is of comparable magnitude to _____ for you.” 
“How could that be a problem to you?” 
“Can you conceive yourself figuring on that?”
…………… to EP

Locate the key thing or the person that you feel in tension with in the present time problem (PTP). Run this process with that terminal. This is an excellent process to free up stuck viewpoints.

I just applied this process to handle a PTP I was having with a person who were twisting what I was saying to mean something else. I realized that he was not doing it intentionally. I now see that his mental structure is simply very different; meaning, that his logic is very different. Just by recognizing that, I am now free of that problem. I am not here to change his logic or his mind. Yes, I want to be understood. But if the other person is simply incapable of understanding me. I don’t have to insist. I simply move on.

.

Problems Process (1)
“What problem could you confront?” …………………. to EP
“What problem could another confront?” ………………. to EP
“What problem could others confront?” …………………. to EP
“What problem about yourself could you confront?” … to EP

.

Problems Process (2)

“Tell me a problem with another.” 
“What part of that problem have you been responsible for?”
……….. to EP

“Tell me a problem of another with you.” 
“What part of that problem has another been responsible for?”
…… to EP

“Tell me a problem of others with others.” 
“What part of that problem have others been responsible for?”
……. to EP

“Tell me a problem with yourself.” 
“What part of that problem have you been responsible for?”
……… to EP

.

Problems Process (3)

“What two things can you confront?” …………………. to EP
“What two things can another confront?” ………………. to EP
“What two things can others confront?” …………………. to EP
“What two things about yourself can you confront?” … to EP

This is a general process. The key is CONFRONT — to face without flinching or avoiding. It amounts to just being there with the problem. It has to first resolve in your mind before it can be resolved in the physical universe.

.

Routine 1A Problems Process
“What problem could you confront?” 
“What problem don’t you have to confront?”
………………. to EP

“What problem could another confront?” 
“What problem wouldn’t another confront?”
…………………. to EP

“What problem could others confront?” 
“What problem wouldn’t others confront?”
 …………………. to EP

“What problem about yourself could you confront?” 
“What problem about yourself don’t you have to confront?”
… to EP

This is another process that is about confronting problems. To confront is to face without flinching or avoiding. You look at that problem closely until it is resolved in your mind. Then you proceed to resolve in the physical universe, if necessary.

.

Solution to Solutions
“What solution could you make stick?” …………………. to EP
“What solution could another make stick?” ………………. to EP
“What solution could others make stick?” …………………. to EP
“What solution about yourself could you make stick?” … to EP


Solution is what remains after the problem is gone. The property of a solution that sticks is oneness (continuity, consistency and harmony) among all its parts. The solution that sticks is very natural in its character.

.

R2-20 Use of Problems and Solutions
Have pc pick out or pick up room object, have him examine this object until he is sure it is real. On each flow the Command is run repetitively until pc is convinced that he can create problems at will.

“What problems could this object be to you?” ……………….. to EP
“What problems could this object be to another?” …………. to EP
“What problems could this object be to others?” …………… to EP
“What problem have you caused yourself over _____?” …… to EP

A person is more in present time when he looks at an object more closely. A problem exists when the person is attached to that object in some manner. This process lets the person examine possible attachments to that object. He may discover his dependencies on that object. 

I found that I am dependent on the objects, such as, my watch, my phone, my glasses, etc. that serve some function for me. That way I am dependent on this body and also on this universe. But to the degree all these functions are in harmony with each other, the problem reduces to my own purpose in life and how successful I am in achieving it. I found that my ultimate purpose is TO KNOW THE ONENESS OF THIS UNIVERSE. This is a fascinating process.

.

Problems Intensive

“What self-determined changes have you made this life?” 
“On the biggest change, when the prior confusion was?”
…….. to EP

This process seems to zero in to a person’s most fundamental confusion. In my case, the biggest self-determined change that I made this life was joining the Sea Org after graduating from MIT. My prior confusion was not understanding why I was here, what I was doing, and what it was all about.

.

Level One Quad
Run 2nd command to bleed all charge off 1st answer.

“What problem have you had with someone?” 
“What solutions have you had for that problem?”
………. to EP

“What problem has another had with you?” 
“What solutions has another had for that problem?”
…… to EP

“What problem has someone had with another?” 
“What solutions have they had for that problem?”
………. to EP

“What problem have you caused yourself?” 
“What solution have you had for that problem?”
……….. to EP

This process may be flat for some people if their charge was already handled on earlier processes. But one should always try the process and run it only when some charge (tension) is found. I only found one interesting problem on this process that had not come up on earlier processes.

.

Havingness
“Point out something desirable.” …………………. to EP
“Point out something another would find desirable.” …………. to EP
“Point out something another could get others to desire.” ….. to EP
“Point out something you would find desirable.” ……………… to EP

ARC Straight Wire Processes

Reference: Grassroots Scientology

NOTE: These processes are obtained from Hubbard’s research in Dianetics and Scientology. For any technical words specific to this research, please consult the Scientology Technical Dictionary.

On these processes you are learning to look directly at what is there. It is improving your level of confront.

A person runs these processes using the Subject Clearing approach. In this approach, neither an auditor nor an E-meter is required. The person simply contemplates over the process command using The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness.

The data immediately following each process explains the understanding that is possible. But one must run the process to actually experience and obtain the understanding the process provides.

The EP (end phenomena) of a process occurs when no new answers to process command are coming up; and the person has a happy feeling that he has honestly covered the whole ground, which the process command pertains to. Of course, he can run that process once again later after running some other processes, if he feels he can get more answers out of it. 

.

Instructions

  1. These processes are run by oneself applying The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness instead of depending on the E-meter.
  2. In response to the commands of these processes, simply look without thinking. Let the mind present you with the answer. If no answer comes up within a reasonable time, you have reached the EP (end phenomenon) for the moment.
  3. These commands tend to be general. The better you understand the command and its scope, the more answers shall come up.
  4. The answers that come up, shall depend on the level of your confront. The higher is your confront the deeper shall be the answers that come up. Your confront improves as you do the processing. After completing a grade, if you repeat it again, you may find some new answers coming up.
  5. “Repetitive to EP” means you contemplate over the command and acknowledge each answer, until no more answers are coming up.
  6. “Run alternately to EP” means that you contemplate over the two commands alternatively, until no more answers are coming up.
  7. “Run the bracket in sequence to EP” means that you sequentially contemplate on the commands provided as a bracket, until no more answers are coming up.
  8. “To EP” is the abbreviation for the above. When there is a single command you run it repetitively. When there are more than one command, you run them as a group, repetitively.

.

PROCESSES

Process 1: REMEMBER SOMETHING

“Remember something.” …………… Repetitive to EP


With a general command to your mind as above, a memory will come up by itself that has some charge (tension) in it. In other words, your attention is fixed on that memory in some manner. This is called a ‘lock’. It has the form of a “picture” or a “recording”. When you look at that “picture” more closely, you may discover the nature of your fixation. Then you will feel a release of the charge along with some realization. The “picture” is then reduced to an “idea” that can be visualized knowingly in the future. When no “picture” or “recording” comes up by itself, then it means that you have no charged memories left. The memories you have are assimilated into ideas that can be knowingly visualized.

.

Process 2: RECALL A TIME

“Recall a time.” …………… Repetitive to EP

This auditing question brings up a period of a person’s life that has charge on it. There is a narrative with gaps in it. The details in those gaps are not very clear. These details start to become clear as one looks more closely at that entire narrative from beginning to end several times. As the gaps in the narrative get filled charge releases and realizations occur.

.

Process 3: COMM RECALL PROCESS

“Recall a Communication.” …………… Repetitive to EP

This auditing question brings up an instance when a communication occurred. This communication can simply be with the environment as in sensing something. Or, the communication could be with another person that consisted of an exchange of words. This communication still has some charge on it. In other words, there is a feeling of disharmony about it. The person looks at the communication more closely until he discovers the exact disharmony. The charge then releases and there a realization along with relief.

.

Process 4: THE ONLY BASIC AFFINITY PROCESS

“What would you like to confront?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would another like to confront?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would others like to confront?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would you like to confront in yourself?” ……… Repetitive to EP

To confront is to observe what is there, putting aside one’s apprehensions or fears. Usually a person simply has apprehensions about an area whether he faces it or somebody else. So, the auditing questions on this process bring up items, situations, possibilities, etc., that the person feels apprehensive about. As soon as the person recognizes the actual reason or justification for why he has been avoiding something, he can let go of his apprehension or fear. There are realizations along with a feeling of confidence in oneself.

.

Process 5: EXHAUSTION

“Recall Exhaustion.” …………… Repetitive to EP

Exhaustion sets in when one is not able to achieve what one wants to, even after putting out reasonable amount of effort repeatedly. There is an accumulation of small failures over a period of time. By simply putting attention on one’s state of exhaustion and on one’s efforts and their outcomes, one may suddenly realize the reason for the failures. He may now come up with a new strategy, or approach, and feel energized.

.

Process 6: 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 alternately to EP

This process is similar to “Process 4” to do with confronting things. This process is bit more personal. The auditing question will bring up parts of a person’s life, or his contemplated future, that he would rather not look at. But by becoming aware of these areas and looking more closely at them, clarity will come about that will bring realizations and relief.

.

Process 7: FORGETTING SIX WAY BRACKET

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

  1. Forgetting yourself.
  2. Another person forgetting.
  3. Forgetting about another.
  4. Another forgetting about you.
  5. Other people forgetting.
  6. Another person forgetting about another person. …………… Run the bracket to EP

This process may, at first, bring up things that are rather unimportant. But underlying those things, there are instances that are somewhat painful to bring up. Given time and a relaxed atmosphere, the person may draw enough courage to recall painful moments. These are usually moments of loss and upsets, and even accidents. As the person confronts such moments he gets relief and starts to feel better.l better.

.

Process 8: CAUSE ELEMENTARY STRAIGHTWIRE

“What would it be all right for you to make forgotten?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would it be all right for another to make forgotten?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would it be all right for others to make forgotten?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would it be alright for you to make forgotten about yourself?” … Repetitive to EP

In this process a person lets memories come up, and he looks at such memories more closely without flinching or avoiding. It is important not to search your mind under tension. Simply relax and let memories bubble up. This process helps a person let go of long held upsets, losses and painful memories, by realizing why they are held in place.

.

Process 9: DUPLICATION STRAIGHTWIRE

“What would you permit to have happen again?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would another permit to have happen again?” …………… Repetitive to EP
“What would others permit to have happen again?” …………… Repetitive to EP
What would you permit to have happen to yourself again?” …… Repetitive to EP

Charge is removed when the “picture memories” assimilate and become “idea memories” that can be visualized as needed. However, there is a deeper level of assimilation. More subtle charge is removed when the “idea memories” assimilate. One may still visualize such memories but they now become part of broader knowledge.

.

Process 10: KNOW TO MYSTERY RECALL PROCESS

“Recall an Unconsciousness” … to EP
“Recall Waiting” …………… to EP
“Recall a Mystery” …………… to EP
“Recall Sex” …………… to EP
“Recall Eating” …………… to EP
“Recall a Symbol” …………… to EP
“Recall Thinking” …………… to EP
“Recall an Effort” …………… to EP
“Recall an Emotion” …………… to EP
“Recall Looking” …………… to EP
“Recall Knowing about” ……… to EP
“Recall Not-Knowing” ………… to EP
“Recall knowing.” …………… to EP

To understand this process, please study Know-to-Mystery Scale

UNCONSCIOUSNESS: Unconsciousness may occur on a gradient. It is weakening of a person’s attention and a clouding of his awareness. A person who is reacting without thinking is unconscious to some degree. Such moments will come up on this process.

WAITING: When a person finds himself waiting for things to happen, he is in a state of ignorance and does not know what to postulate. Such moments will come up on this process.

MYSTERY: The anatomy of mystery is a state of confusion in which prediction becomes impossible. It is better to recognize that there is a mystery instead of trying to figure it out. Such moments of mystery will come up.

SEX: At the level of sex a person thinks that he is not going to survive; and so he believes he will live again in some other generation. Instances will come up when a person’s was fixated on sex as a distraction from facing reality.

EATING: At the level of eating a person thinks he has to stay alive by eating other people’s resources and efforts. This is the dog-eat-dog world. Such a person is completely transactional and he looks at others as objects to be used for his own survival.

SYMBOL: At the level of symbol a person interprets everything literally. He is operating based on fixed ideas, which he manipulates as symbols to figure things out. His sense of reality has become very shallow.  

THINKING: At this level, a person is trying to figure things out all the time. This is the “figure-figure” case. He cannot work or act, so he makes no progress. Many academics and scientists descend to this level and they become hard to get along with.

EFFORT: At the level of effort a person’s “gotta work”, everything has got to be work. He’s got to touch everything and feel everything before he can know anything. He’ll get a mental image picture to get an idea, or to know what’s happening to him. 

EMOTION: At the level of emotion a person determines the reality by his emotional reaction, “Do I like it—do I dislike it? You can act without having to think through each step. Emotion is basically a consideration, but it does represent itself mechanically. 

LOOKING: At the level of looking a person directs his attention to become aware of what is there. It does not involve thinking. To look one must be willing to be there and face things without flinching or avoiding. Accuracy in looking requires the recognition and elimination of anomalies.

KNOWING ABOUT: At this level one is consciously aware of one’s postulates about what is being sensed.

NOT-KNOWING: At this level, one is sensing something but has not made any postulates about it.

KNOWING: At this level one simply knows as this is part of one’s inherent postulates.

Process 12: ARC STRAIGHTWIRE QUADS

“Recall a time that was really real to you.”
“Recall a time you were in good communication with someone.”
“Recall a time you really felt affinity for someone”
“Recall a time you knew you understood someone.” …………… to EP

“Recall a time that was really real for another.”
“Recall a time another was in good communication with you.”
“Recall a time another really felt affinity for you.”
“Recall a time another knew he/she understood you.” …………… to EP

“Recall a time that was really real for others.”
“Recall a time others were in communication with others.”
“Recall a time others really felt affinity for others.”
“Recall a time others knew they understood others.” …………… to EP

“Recall a time you were really real to yourself.”
“Recall a time you were in good communication with yourself.”
“Recall a time you really felt affinity for yourself.”
“Recall a time you knew you understood yourself.” …………… to EP

A moment is really real when it contains consistency with natural laws. You are in good communication whenever you agree per natural laws. You feel wonderful affinity in those moments when there are no disagreements with reality. And, you are certain of understanding when you know you are seeing things as they are.

.

Process 13: HAVINGNESS

Handling Introversion

Reference: The Book of Subject Clearing

Attention is not free when it is fixated on some issue, such as, an upset or a problem. We call that condition—introversion. When you are working to improve your mind, you need free attention. Therefore, when the attention is introverted, you must free up enough attention before you start working with your mind.

The following are two wonderful exercises, which when done correctly, not only handle introversion, but also increase your awareness. In the beginning have a friend help you do it. Later you can start doing it by yourself. When done before a meditation session, these exercises greatly enhance the meditation experience. These exercises are very simple, obvious in what they do, and very logical. Just do what it says exactly.

Do these exercises for 10 minutes each, twice a day, for two weeks at least, to get familiar with their effectiveness. After that you do them whenever you feel that you need to extrovert and orient your attention.

.

EXERCISE # 1: EXTROVERSION

In this exercise, you compare two items using your senses of touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. Get the differences and similarities. After some time you will start to sense the uniqueness of an item. As you do that your attention will extrovert.

Here are the steps to this exercise. If the person doing this exercise have difficulties, he or she may be guided through these steps very gently.

Touch

  1. Go to an environment where you can touch a variety of surfaces without getting distracted.
  2. Select two different surfaces nearby.
  3. Touch them alternately and discern the differences between them.
  4. As you touch them, let the mind carry out its natural functions uninterrupted in the background.
  5. Touch the surfaces repeatedly until you can discern the uniqueness of each surface.
  6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 with another pair of two different surfaces.
  7. Do this exercise until you can confidently sense the uniqueness of a surface by touching it.
  8. Do as many 10-minute sessions as necessary to fully extrovert your attention.

Sight

  1. Go to an environment where you can see a variety of objects without getting distracted.
  2. Select two different objects situated not far from each other.
  3. Look at them alternately and discern the differences between them.
  4. As you look at them, let the mind carry out its natural functions uninterrupted in the background.
  5. Look at the objects repeatedly until you can discern the uniqueness of each object.
  6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 with another pair of two different objects.
  7. Do this exercise until you can confidently sense the uniqueness of an object by looking at it.
  8. Do as many 10-minute sessions as necessary to fully extrovert your attention.

NOTE: When guiding another person on this exercise focus mainly on TOUCH and SIGHT. These two senses are enough to pull a person out of introversion. Once the person is extroverted enough to be in present time, he handles the following three senses by himself in the normal course of life.

 Hearing, Smell & Taste

  1. Go to a coffee shop where the atmosphere is pleasant and relaxed. Alternatively, you may go for a walk in a busy place with some eatables.
  2. Explore the sounds in the environment by comparing two sounds at a time as above, until you can discern the uniqueness of each sound.
  3. Explore the smells in the environment by comparing two smells at a time as above, until you can discern the uniqueness of each smell.
  4. Explore the tastes of eatables by comparing two tastes at a time as above, until you can discern the uniqueness of each taste.
  5. Do this exercise until you can confidently hear, smell and taste the uniqueness of sensations reaching you.
  6. Do as many 10-minute sessions as necessary to fully extrovert your attention.

.

EXERCISE # 2: ORIENTATION

In this exercise, one observes the orientation of different objects in one’s environment by estimating their distance from some reference location, and the angle of their direction from some reference direction.

Do this exercise after you have done Exercise # 1. This is a higher level exercise. If the person doing this exercise have difficulties, he or she may be guided through these steps very gently. In case of trouble, return to the previous exercise.

STEPS

  1. Go to an environment where you can explore the distances and directions of objects without getting distracted.
  2. Select a reference location from which you will be measuring the distance of objects. You may stand at that reference location.
  3. Select a reference direction from which you will be measuring the direction of objects. You may draw a line at your location indicating that direction.
  4. Select two objects.
  5. Look at the first object. Assess its distance and direction with respect to the references above.
  6. Look at the second object. Assess its distance and direction with respect to the references above.
  7. Compare the distances of these two objects carefully.
  8. Compare the directions of these two objects carefully.
  9. Select another pair of objects and repeat steps 5 tp 9.
  10. As you do this, let the mind carry out its natural functions uninterrupted in the background.
  11. Do this exercise until you confidently know the orientations of objects relative to your references.
  12. Do as many 10-minute sessions as necessary until you feel confident that you can quickly orient yourself in different environments.
  13. If you are having trouble with this exercise, return to Exercise # 1.

Handling Trauma

Reference: The Book of Subject Clearing
Reference: Running Hubbard’s Processes with Subject Clearing

When clearing the subject of life, the first target is always the traumas in a person’s life. A trauma is an incident that has a beginning and an end. 

People have different conditions in life that they want to handle. The difficulty that the person is trying to resolve could be a body condition, such as, an auto-immune disease, or a continually recurring illness, painful symptoms, etc. Or, it could be a mental condition such as panic attacks, depression, compulsion, obsession, etc. Or, it can be a combination of such conditions.

All such difficulties seem to be connected to certain traumas in a person’s life. So, the main target for addressing a person’s difficulty is the clearing of the traumatic incidents connected to it.

.

The Traumatic Incident

The incident that affects a person the most are traumas. They contain pain and unconsciousness. Most of the details of such an incident are submerged into his subconsciousness. He is resisting to look at those details because they are very painful. At the core of those painful details is a moment of shock. 

Some traumas are so deep that the person is not even aware that they exist. Birth is such a traumatic incident. Most people have no memory of the moment of their birth, because it is a very painful and traumatic event for both mother and child. The child is squeezed through a narrow birth canal, and then suddenly exposed to a harsh environment as compared to the comfort of the womb.

The birth incident is the source of many auto-immune conditions and other difficulties. Once a person is able to re-experience the birth incident with all its pain, sensations, emotions and feelings, a remarkable change comes about. Many of the unwanted conditions disappear.

But the mind offers the birth incident to run only when it is ready. Therefore, we simply clear the incidents that are available. The birth incident may appear sooner or later. It should not be rushed.

.

Clearing an Incident

A person usually knows the difficulty that he would like to handle. It could either be a physical or a mental condition. Or, it could have elements of both, such as, a psychosomatic illness. To address that difficulty he starts with an incident connected to it, which he may spot right away.

To clear that incident, the person lets his mind replay that incident from the beginning to end until he is fully aware of all its content. This may require several replays. He may use commands such as the following.

“What is the date of the incident? What is its duration?”
“Go to the beginning of the incident and perceive what is there.”
“Move through to the end of the incident.”
“Review what happened.”

The person first locates the time and place of the beginning of the incident. Once he is reasonably certain of the beginning he lets the incident replay in his mind. He does not think, but simply watches and re-experiences the sensations, feelings and emotions contained in that incident. He does that until he reaches the end of the incident. He then reviews what he perceived.

During each replay he checks if the incident could have started earlier, and focuses on the new details emerging during the replay. He replays the incident again and again as long as new details are emerging and the incident is becoming clearer. The difficulty may also lighten up as the awareness increases.

If the difficulty still persists, he looks for an earlier incident connected to this difficulty. When such an incident is found then he starts from the beginning of the earlier incident. He proceeds as he did with the first incident, and replays it till there are no more changes. He looks for earlier and earlier incidents connected to the difficulty.

He may end up with a chain of incidents connected to the difficulty. After he has run each incident individually, he may scan through the whole chain of incidents from beginning to end. He may come up with later incidents also as a part of this chain. The idea is to run the whole chain of incidents that are connected with the difficulty from as early as possible to now. This may lighten up the difficulty considerably.

.

Handling the Difficulty

Running the incidents as above may bring the difficulty to remission, and the person may now strengthen his discipline and remain free of that difficulty. But the root cause of the difficulty still exists and the difficulty can flare up under stressful circumstances.

A deeper remedy would require the handling of identifications (attachments) the person is carrying unconsciously with worldly things. It should be emphasized that the person is not aware of these identifications so he cannot control them with self-discipline.

At the root of these identifications are misconceptions. 

Only after all available incidents connected with the difficulty are cleared up, that one targets the identifications, and then the misconceptions, to handle the root cause of the difficulty.
