Previous/Next

The Tocky GPM deals with time. The end word used here is “Sun swing” which suggests TIME. Time suggests the tick-tock of a clock, which gives this GPM its name “Tocky GPM.” Time refers to a regular, cyclic occurrence.

LRH Instructions for Tocky GPM

Hubbard says, “That’s what you get for making this universe.” “Get out.” He seems to be referring to one’s fixation on the physical universe. The whole idea is to get rid of this fixation, and not necessarily the universe.

Subject Clearing Prerequisites

Study and understand the following concepts:

1. The Substance
2. The Time

.

The Tocky GPM

There are 24 items in Tocky GPM as follows:

1. Create Sun swing
2. Create no Sun swing
3. Abide Sun swing
4. Abide no Sun swing
5. Enjoy Sun swing
6. Enjoy no Sun swing
7. Welcome Sun swing
8. Welcome no Sun swing
9. Share Sun swing
10. Share no Sun swing
11. Keep Sun swing
12. Keep no Sun swing
13. Hold Sun swing
14. Hold no Sun swing
15. Exploit Sun swing
16. Exploit no Sun swing
17. Deplore Sun swing
18. Deplore no Sun swing
19. Skip Sun swing
20. Skip no Sun swing
21. Continue Sun swing
22. Continue no Sun swing
23. Forget Sun swing
24. Forget no Sun swing

The key characteristic of this universe is that it is enduring. The endurance manifests as cycles. The cycle of attention is to reach and withdraw.

Running the Tocky GPM

The 24 items of this GPM present 12 pairs of opposite postulates. One contemplates on these pairs as in the Electrical GPM. Looking at the pair of opposites exteriorizes one from any identification with the postulates.

The “sun swing” is a symbol for endurance as a regularly repeating cycle. The universe may be described as one large cycle, that contains smaller cycles within it. Those smaller cycles contain within them still smaller cycles and so on. Here we are looking at the attention becoming increasingly condensed as it identifies more and more with the substance of the universe.

On this GPM one is addressing the mechanism of fixation.

Definitions

TOCKY
The word “tocky”comes from “tick tock” of a clock. It refers to a regular, cyclic occurrence.

SUN SWING
The sun swings across front left to right as you face South. This is visualized as the “end word” on the items of this GPM. It suggests the cyclic but arbitrary nature of TIME.

UNIVERSE
The key characteristic of this universe, and of everything in it, is CYCLIC. Nothing in this universe is permanent or eternal.

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.
