Excalibur/Nots Hatting Series Valences Author: Virginia McClaughry, Posted: Mon 06 Jan 2003 9:38 pm Subject: Excalibur/Nots Hatting Series: Valences HCL-11 RESOLUTION OF EFFORT AND COUNTER-EFFORT: OVERT ACTS A lecture given on 8 March 1952 "Valence is a very interesting manifestation. An individual will suddenly turn around and become like another individual and stay that way. An individual has himself and then he has valences, and he can go into dozens of valences. There's all sorts of valences: there's synthetic valences, there's bedpost valences, there's ... Yeah, that's right; you'll find people in insane asylums in the valence of a bedpost or in the valence of a brick wall or something of the sort." "Now, this valence manifestation becomes confirmed - and actually goes into action and becomes confirmed - by an overt act." "You'll find an overt act lying ahead of every life continuum." **see other post entitled What is an overt?, for more on life continuums being a result of overts. "When you work on any preclear, you will find life continuum pursuing out from overt acts. He took something that happened to him - now that's his motivator, and he used it to harm somebody or something on one of the dynamics. That was the overt act. These two together and all of their locks and all incidents appended thereto comprise the service facsimile. The motivator and the overt plus all of the incidents and locks equals the service facsimile." "This service facsimile is used. It's called a service facsimile because it was made to serve somebody else - it was made up to serve somebody else, but you use it yourself. When you don't want to do something you say, "I am sick," When people are angry at you, you say, "I want to be sympathized with," so you turn on this service facsimile. You use it in countless ways. You don't think very fast one day, you aren't right there with the answer, and so you say, "Well, I forget," and of course that's part of the service facsimile. Actually, you don't forget, but it has its uses. You realize, after you get the service facsimile knocked out, you remember everything." ----- **Note: Remember, an overt is a misemployed counter-effort. "First, he owned the counter-effort. You see, it was done to him and he owned it. He says, "This is mine to do with as 1 like regardless of what was done to me." He owned it. Then he used the fact that he owned it to harm a dynamic. And this is against survival. It's not good survival. So he recognized that it wasn't and he regretted it. So he says, "I regret this; therefore, I didn't have any right to do it." Actually, the fact that it was done to him gives him every right in the world to do it, but the fact that he used it wrong tells him that he has no right to do it; he didn't have a right to do it, obviously, because it harmed this. So there is your principal and biggest and only real maybe on a case: "I had the right to do it but I didn't have the right to do it. I had the right to do it and I did it and then I didn't have the right to do it." So this person then says, "I don't own these somatics I don't own these counter-efforts; therefore they can hit me at will, they can punch me around, they can do anything they want to me because I don't own them. I couldn't possibly own them because then I'd also have to admit that I used them. So I just haven't got anything to do with this, and that's why I have sinusitis, asthma, lung fever, hangnails, why I limp, am paralyzed in the left side and am generally normal." --- Virginia |
