post59 Subject: SUPER SCIO ARCHIVE 59 - JUNE 28, 99 PILOT POSTS TO ACT POST59.txt SUPER SCIO ARCHIVE 59 - JUNE 28, 99 PILOT POSTS TO ACT These went to ACT only. I felt obliged to respond to some of the topics under discussion immediately. ========================================== Contents: subj : Super Scio - TO SAFE ON MARCHING ========================================== subj : Super Scio - TO SAFE ON MARCHING TO SAFE ON MARCHING First, I want to validate you for standing up and fighting. Second, I want to ask you to ease up on trying to push the old timers into motion. Many of them stood up and fought very hard and lost. Especially Enid, who stood up there as a direct target, attempting to create a reformed church of Scientology in plain view and fight off CofS on the grounds of Religious Freedom and got smashed badly back in the 1970s. I don't know the entire story. But she is somebody to respect and to learn from. You cannot expect direct support from any organizations in Southern California. If somebody is actually operating a group and delivering service and getting people trained and audited, they are not going to stand up and ask the CofS to come and smash them. Having a group is different from operating as an individual. They have to have cash flow to operate, so there is money changing hands and they do not even have the slight protection of non-commercial status. They are a visible target, easily counter-picketed. They are already infested with OSA agents and subject to dead agenting and black PR. And they are easy targets for lawsuits. And frankly, we need those groups to stay in operation and keep delivering. You don't even dream of sacrificing one for the sake of a picket unless it is the ultimate picket with tens of thousands bringing the house down. Because if you risk them, you have to win, completely, then and there. Do not sacrifice your Queens and Rooks unless it is a forced sequence that leads to immediate checkmate. And as a wise chess player once said, "I prefer to sacrifice my opponents pieces." If you make a strong showing, you can expect covert support. And it will be covert. Individuals showing up and grabbing signs as individuals rather than as representatives of the various groups. But that is only for a strong showing. A march of a hundred would seem too dangerous because the groups want to call zero attention to themselves. My best guess is that a thousand is the right number to draw covert support. That swells the ranks considerably. If you started an hour long march from CC to the complex, showing signs as you walked along Hollywood Blvd. and then Sunset, I think that huge numbers would peak at you from cars and around corners, decide that this was it, and swell your ranks. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I think that you would have five thousand by the time you surrounded the complex, because the others would know and be watching and making go/no-go decisions. That would not just be the covert groups but also many fence sitters. And to set that up, one of the things you would do is buy a few big newspaper adds and put up signs in shop windows so that the fence sitters who were out of comm knew to come and look. But they would not be part of the initial crowd and they will be too scared to join a small march. If you do a march of a hundred, it is for the purposes of PR and your target should be to get press coverage of the religious freedom issue and to promote fza.org so that some of the fence sitters will begin lurking here and starting to wake up. Your real target should be to build up the potential for that march of a thousand. Your evaluation of whether to do the 100 march or not should be based on whether or not it is the best move towards bringing about the bigger march. My own feeling in the matter is that promoting fza.org is less risky. That is something that everyone can do covertly without putting their ass on the line, and so it can be done immediately even by those who are afraid of the CofS. Shy people can even palm an fza.org sticker and leave it on a lampost while waiting for the light to change. Imagine if everyone around CC and the complex saw a sticker every time they crossed a street. Of course they would be continually scrapped off, and continually put back on again. And if the fence sitters saw these continually around LA, they would eventually get on the net and look. And it could be "Save Scientology" or "Stop CofS Squirreling" or "Reform Scientology" or "Save The Tech" as an alternative to "Free Scientology" on the line above the "see www.fza.org." Really many different ones should be used so as to hit different people's realities. The real problem is comm lag. It was a great disappointment to me that things moved so slowly when I dumped Super Scio onto the net. Although Super Scio is unitelligible to new people, it is right where Scientologists live and I expected it to act as an immediate indicator and bring about big changes fast. I talked about "if the Catholics copyrighted the bible" and indicated the religious freedom issue. I repeated that occasionally in my posts and it was a YEAR before it started echoing back. I talked about points for reform. It was ages before others started spreading it around. And yes, I know you were one of the ones who picked it up, that is very much appreciated. My point is that it took TIME. I indicated what I feel are key tech points such as the grades being basic and needed again after OT. People comm lagged. I pointed out the ease of doing everything solo. Again I've picked up lots of agreement, but it took time and many are still Q & Aing about this. I talked about the need to both retain LRH in unadulterated form AND to extend the tech and the research line and - well you see what its like right now. And yet the mountain did start moving. Cornelius (ARS) and Homer had the book online immediately. Many said nice things. Even Roland wrote a nice message to me. Critics gained respect for Freezoners. More tech and less LRH bashing happened on ACT. Paul setup fza.org and had a huge impact - but again his work spread slowly, taking months to pickup support. It is a snowball rolling down hill. Eventually it will sweep the fanatics away like an avalanch. But everything is taking an order of magnitude longer than I initially expected. Based on previous experience, in a year everybody will be screaming for a march of a thousand. That was in the back of my mind when I first made the comment. I felt it was time for people to begin to kick the idea around. As you can see, only a small number will accept such an idea immediately. You have to keep your enthusiasm up during that period and keep repeating the communication and pushing without going down tone and without getting into arguments or inval. Think of it as doing TR 4 until the pc does the command. And we have to promote outside, there are not a thousand active on this newsgroup. I certainly wouldn't oppose your march of a hundred if you want to try and speed things up that way. I'd be rooting for you and certainly do a drive by. And if it turned out that a thousand came out of the woodwork and swelled your ranks, why I would too. But in the meantime, don't piss off the people who might help when the time is right. Think of it as changing the course of history. Big things change course very slowly. PS. If you do have a march, the right hat for the critics is to come and film you and act as witnesses. That provides you with extra protection and support and yet they are not really in the march, and I'm sure they'd love to have pictures. ARC, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio - FREEZONE LIBRARIES FREEZONE LIBRARIES As various people have pointed out, there are legal dangers to practicing our religion freely in the face of CofS copyright terrorists. If CofS made ALL LRH works available in an UNCENSORED form to all Scientologists, even if they have been declared as squirrels and enemies or belong to unorthodox sects going by other names, and if they did so at normal book and tape prices, then it would indeed be their right to collect reasonable royalties on copyrighted materials. But instead they: 1. Will not sell to unorthodox Scientologists, especially those declared as "suppressives". 2. Will not sell supposed "confidential" materials or materials of limited distribution even to members in good standing. 3. Exercise censorship in removing and altering materials. 4. Do not make all materials available. 5. Issue these at exhorbinant prices in the range of five times or more higher than is normal in the publishing and recording industries. Since these materials are a matter of religious practice, these inhibitions are a violation of Religious Freedom as guaranteed by the constitution and any legal attempt to protect these by copyright under these circumstances would be constitutionaly invalid. However, the copyright laws are on the books and are valid under normal conditions. Therefore it becomes a matter of RELIGIOUS PROTEST to ignore these in this case and demand a Constitutional Interpretation by the Supreme Court that would recognize our right to practice our religion under the Bill of Rights. This is not meant as an attack upon the copyright system. If the CofS would agree to a royalty of ten percent on the sale price of any non-orthodox publications of LRH works, and did not censor, control, or inhibit the production and sales of such works, there would be no religious persecution and no grounds for violation of copyrights. However, the copyrights ARE currently used for RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION and thus are being used in violation of our consitiutional rights. For this reason, I support Freezone Bible's RELIGIOUS PROTEST whereby they make religious materials available outside of the control of the Orthodox Fanatics who attack all other practicioners of the Scientology Religion. For those who believe in this, the most important part is The Availability of the Religious Scriptures. Therefore, the first target is to get everything posted to the net via the newsgroups in easy to handle text format. This ensures that uncensored complete copies of all materials will exist all over the world, saved by any individual who wishes to ensure the free practice of the Scientology religion. That is the first target, and once it is achieved, no attempt at suppression can fully succeed because the materials will be everywhere. But we have not reached that point yet. It would be better to get this done first before starting fights that might make it more difficult to complete this task. It is more improtant to be true to our faith and get the job done rather than to make martyrs. It would be good if there was a web server from which believers could download zip files of all the Fzba posts and also those files of religious materials such as the tech volumes that were posted by non-believers who have come to our aid. But such a server, even if legal, would be a target for the CofS fanatics who will use any means, fair or foul to prevent this. The right action, if there is a legal location, would be to bring up a server for a short period occasionally, only leaving it online for a few weeks and removing it before CofS has the opportunity to infiltrate it or dead agent and ruin the operators, for we are well aware that they will use illegal means if necessary to stop us. This should be a simple thing, possibly just an HTML index page and a huge collection of zip files that can easily be carried on a CD Rom and transfered to different ISPs without a lot of work. On a periodic basis, perhaps once every three months, it could be brought online for a few weeks, each time at a different location and removed before CofS brings its heavy guns to bear. Whenever it comes online, the address could be advertised here and all supporters, especially new supporters, could rush to complete their tech collections up to the level currently achieved by Fzba. The biggest problem, which this would solve, is that a freezoner, discovering the net for the first time, has no easy way to pick up the megabytes of material that were posted last year. I doubt that fzba itself would get involved in such an activity because they already have the enourmous job of getting these materials onto the net for the first time. Whomever is doing this obviously has enourmous libraries of materials and they should not be risked until their entire contents have reached the net. Anyone who is directly involved in bringing up a server like the one described needs to remain secret because CofS will certainly send agents from its Office of Special Affairs (OSA) to ruin them. If someone chooses to do this, please do not involve any visible targets such as openly practicing freezone groups in this endevor. But please do support Fzba in its efforts to end the CofS suppression of the Scientology tech. There are three thousand tape transcripts, many of which still need to be posted. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio - To Safe, MegaSquirrel, Casper, Tom, Etc. TO SAFE, MEGASQUIRREL, CASPER, TOM, KGB ETC. Hi guys, See the separate posts I wrote on Marching and Libraries. I wanted to thank you again and to encourage you to keep your enthusiasm up. If there were a dozen for each of you, we would do it. Just imagine that everything that was being talked about last week had ten times the response. That would start a feedback which would bring more on board. When you tip the scales, things begin to escallate fast. We've got to get more people on the net, especially fence sitters who are ready to make the jump. Give old friends a call. Don't try to sell them or handle them, just ask them to take a look at the reformer's home page and see what they think. Talk with them later after they've had a chance to read and to think about it a bit. I think that your selection of targets was excellent, just not enough troups to take the hill. I am getting tired of staying out of sight. The trouble is that I only feel that I have one shot to make an open push for reform. After that they start fighting dirty, I get pissed, and I end up as a super version of Perry Scott or something like that. Not exactly the role I want to play. I would like a real reform, but the minimum is a truce where they let the freezone have the materials too and get out of their way. That allows the research to move forward. I would not care if they labled me a suppressive and squirrel as long as they stayed out of the way and did not object to the materials being spread around. I would spout LRH and insist that I knew better and they would spout LRH and insist that they knew better and we'd all have a lot of fun and maybe find our way to real OT someday. But I think Homer is right and they'd launch everything they've got against me. I do not even want to speculate in public about how I'd handle that, I don't want to put it out there as a mockup that might gather agreement. There are already too many people who want to see them in ruins. So you might say that I'm being careful for their sake. On a positive note, there have been a lot more new people coming on recently. We may have gone over some sort of hump. Give it a little bit of time and try not to get your ass blown off meanwhile. PS. I've noticed two different Megasquirrel email addresses. Are you using two or is somebody playing games? PPS. I've rushed trying to get some posts out quickly because I think this business you started was very important. Hopefully I haven't written anything too hastily. All the Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio - Continuing The Mensa Discussion CONTINUING THE MENSA DISCUSSION On 24 Jun 99, VoltR@ctinet.net (RDucharme) responded to my post on "Super Scio - Scientologists in Mensa" Typically the really smart people join it because it puts a stop to any invalidation of their intelligence. The "passed Mensa's tests and used to be a member" looks great on resumes. And the card is a lot cheaper and easier to get than collecting university degrees. But most of the active membership are busy stroking themselves. So the really smart people drop out as soon as they have the membership card. The real status button is to be so smart that you get in and then you snobishly drop out because they are too dumb. One of the famous Mensa dropouts was Issac Asimov. However, at some point he let them talk him into reactivating his membership when they promised to fill a hall with a crowd of adoring high IQ fans. Typical Asimov. I really liked Christine's idea of setting up a Freezone Scientologist in Mensa SIG. That would be worth reactivating my membership for. But I can't be the organizer or have my name plastered on it openly for obvious reasons. I don't even know what it takes to get one of these SIGs created (I didn't stay in long enough), but if somebody wants to create it needs votes or something, just post it on the newsgroup. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - On Self Clearing and CCRD ON SELF CLEARING AND CCRD On 23 Jun 99, "Michael Hunsaker" I would say that there are distinct and stable states that one attains. The state generally achieved on Dianetics is confront of the force in mental image pictures and awareness that one puts the force there. An easily observed side effect is that incidents of big impact to not seem to have any more kick or importance than incidents of minor impact. It is other factors besides the force involved which make an incident seem significant or trivial. It is not the end of abberation. There are other states to be attained and other things to be confronted besides force. The thetan was already very abberated when force began to effect him. It didn't occur to me to put in a CCRD because I think it is a side effect of having heard too much sales hype on "clear" which gives wrong data. Maybe I'll have to reconsider that and talk more about states attined etc. as well. Incident running still works after clear. There are other non-confronts besides the non-confront of force which will still run out of incidents and there are the postulates etc. which are still there to be looked at. However it would be the wrong approach to use immediately after clear or right after any of the more advanced states like clear OT. And it is a slow technique, so it is something that one uses occasionally when it feels like the right time to dig in that manner. I would say that you should a) rehab the last big win on incident running (it might or might not be clear or a further state subsequent to clear, or even a preliminary state. Don't worry about it, just rehab the win). Then, b) check if there is a clear state (confront of force) and rehab that (whether or not it is the same state as above), and if it is not there yet, again don't worry about it but recognize that you will come to it eventually. It sounds likely that you have reached clear, but even if you haven't, the gains on dianetics sound big enough that you should move on to something else. So do the rehabs and then continue on with the book. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio - To R. Winn on Self Clearing TO R. WINN ON SELF CLEARING On 18 Jun, 99, Zero Hi and welcome. Hopefully Tom only meant that in the sense of "survive" as you might "survive" a tough class in school. It does take some determination to get through it on your own. But as you've probably noticed, the freezone and the ACT newsgroup are full of wild and highly individualistic people who are just learning to be themselves without external restraints. If you take a group of kids and over control them and march them around for too long, they run a bit wild when the controls are released. Things will settle down eventually. It just takes time for people to learn to live with each other without a slave driver cracking the whip over them. Anyway, I expect that you'll have a great deal of wins with the book. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - Answering Homer on Clear OT ANSWRING HOMER ON CLEAR OT On 25 Jun, 99, Homer Wilson Smith Since they are short and related, I'm including both his messages even though only the second is a question.
Yes, I officialy attested at CofS to the confidential definition of Clear OT. They had decided that I was stuck in a win on the huge blowout I had when I got expanded grade 2 (which was my second time through grade 2, and of course I had already run others through grade 2 when I got run on expanded 2). And I had complained that the state had turned off while getting dianetics as part of my setups for OT levels at the AO. And I was full old OT 7 by this point and felt really good about it but I was also a little bit disappointed because the grade 2 state hadn't come back and I felt it was in some way higher than the the state I was in after OT 7. I had kind of put up with that while doing the OT levels because I thought it would come back stabily when I hit the appropriate level, and of course it didn't. And so they decided that they had better really rehab it right and get whatever it was fully acknowledged. I mentioned that it seemed like the track was gone after that point and that's when the auditor ran out and got the confidential HCOB on it. The HCOB only says "no track". It does not say "able to stay out of a body while it is being hurt". Either that is PR or it is from something else in the 1950s. I think that that might have been said about "theta clear". But there were lots of varying statements about theta clear in the 50s and it might really be a half dozen different states. I can think of a number of different states I've hit which could be called theta clear. I put a whole list in Super Scio. But we have lousy definitions for these things. As far as your "stay out" question goes, for me the answer is that I can sometimes, it is unstable and so I might have an unstable key-out on whatever state gives that result. Also sometimes I find its my somatic and the body has nothing to do with it and if I'm outside stabily, I've got the somatic where I am rather than in the body. That is a wild one. Other times, its the body's somatic and I can be out and feeling that the somatic is over there in the body. And then there are times when I do snap on a body somatic and even times when I turn on my own somatic and sort of dive into the body for havingness and to hide from the somatic. There is a real mixed bag here of different phenomena. And of course there is also the business of somatics from entities. But I can generally blow those off fairly quickly. That is usually the first thing I look for because it handles so fast. I should really make a comment here about the Dianetics I got after the clear OT state. I got a whole lot of it as part of a dianetic assist and it was just great and very helpful and it did not mess up the Clear OT state. It was funny, because I was not running up and down on a track and yet I could easily pickup incidents to run on the specific somatics (this was the time I got stabbed and ended up in the hospital - described in Super Scio). That would bring my confront up on particular somatics and they would blow. But note that I had an auditor who was being very light and careful, never forcing and accepting errasures by inspection and so forth without pushing it. Then they did more dianetics at AO as part of my setups, and it screwed up the clear OT state. They were trying to be thorough. Nowardays I happily run incidents solo. But I don't use anything as formal as R3R. The trick is in only doing as much as you need to do - maybe date/locate and duration plus a few scans through and any and all steps skipped whenever they don't feel like they are needed. In other words, knowing all these tricks that help in running an incident, you just do whatever you need to get it in full view and blown. I would not trust an auditor to run me through an incident with formal R3R. I might trust one who was using less formal incident running techniques. So my general observation is as follows: You can make great gains from dianetics even after clear OT. But you can also get into trouble doing that. The most dangerous in this case is an auditor who has trained in rote procedure and is good at getting his commands done. Safest is to do these things solo. Or to be run in a loose manner with more flexibility and less push. A clear doesn't flinch at incidents. Everything we do to keep a lower level case from bouncing out of an incident is a reverse action on a clear. It gets him to mockup what isn't there. And clears don't bounce out due to non-confront. Sorry to leave this a bit vague but we are still learning. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - To Joanne On Spotting Points In The Body TO JOANNE ON SPOTTING POINTS IN THE BODY On 23 Jun 99, "Joanne Barre" The following was good. The other question would be if he has had any processing or metaphysics or anything, but my impression from your answer is that he has not. Very good. Again, good, and the more the better, with emphasis on pleasure moments. It doesn't require a belief in the spirit. The brain has nerves running into the affected areas, and there are problems with them. The "mind", whether thought of as a separate spirit or simply thought of as the higher brain functions, is senior. Therefore, in pushing into the area himself mentally, he is forcing the lower brain and nerves to rebuild their connections. There are many nerves and many cells in the brain, others can take over for the ones that were damaged if he keeps pushing into the area. But they will not do so unless he keeps reaching into the area himself. Of course I feel that there is more to it than this, but that is beside the point. The drill is good for both bypassing the switchboard and for encouraging the switchboard to reconnect and strighten out. So use a switchboard analogy where the connections are established by repeated use. All the best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - A Great Statement (Attn Rogers) A GREAT STATEMENT (Attn Rogers) On 24 Jun 99, "Rogers" That is a great way of putting it. Let's remember this one. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - To Aaron on Continuous Creation TO AARON ON CONTINUOUS CREATION On 25 Jun 99, "Aaron Bair" Great.
Damn good question. Now we're really onto something. Alter-is keeps you from ceasing to create it. Alter-is doesn't itself make the creation persist. It causes you to make the creation persist. See the axioms of creation in archive 47. Looks like this gives us a second axiom of reality: Axiom R2: Reality is compulsively created until it is as-ised.
Another good question. Maybe there is only one, and that would be not ceasing to create it. And then we get a profusion of reasons for not ceasing to create something, the most significant of which is that we don't have the as-isness of it and conscious choice in creating it or not creating it and therefore compulsively keep it created so that we wouldn't loose it until we get the as-isness.
Yes. Seems like it. Probably not. It might be just a side effect of alter-is and persistance. Ron has said that any second postulate introduces time. But maybe each persisting creation has its own "time" as a side effect of the alter-is but these individual "times" are grouped together in some fashion into a composite time where the consecutive change of one thing and the consecutive change of another are made to "track together", and that correlation of time could be a created thing. We ourselves have consecutive time streams that do not track with each other or with mest time except to the degree that we make these things track together. But we're way over my head now and I'm going to have to think some more about this. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - To Th8an on Between Lives TO TH8AN ON BETWEEN LIVES On 24 Jun 99, th8an@yahoo.com (th8an) posted on topic "Between Lives for PILOT My first post (th8an)" Yes. CofS is just wasting the tech, pouring other's money and enthusiasm down the drain with sec checks and other stops instead of delivering. Ron also talks about percieving on different freequencies, mostly in tapes of the 1950s. A thetan wouldn't have a wavelength, but he would percieve on wavelengths and be carrying around junk that was tuned to different wavelengths. I don't think that we are really talking about "wavelength" in the true physics sense here, but it is probably the closest word. A lot of the metaphysical groups talk about vibration levels and whatever. When one tries to "tune into things", one is probably matching "wavelengths". I think drills are possible here. We are still in the "fooling around with" stage on this one. I'll try playing with it some more (I do fool around with this kind of stuff) and you can see what you come up with too. But for now I would suggest treating it as experimental, and suggest that you also run self clearing or other processing for case gain. Based on experimenting with other energy systems (Ron's anchor points, the Hindu Chakras, etc.), you shouldn't concentrate too much on energy structures because it pushes you towards agreeing instead of getting free from the constraints. Best, The Pilot ========================================== subj : Super Scio Tech - HELPFUL HINTS ON TRS AND METERING HELPFUL HINTS ON TRS AND METERING There were traditions in teaching TRs and Metering back in the 1960s which often resulted in the equivallent of the modern Class 12 skill level early in training. Some of these factors were never well identified or written down and they disappeared with the heavy loss of auditors and old timers in the 1969 timeframe. This was "solved" by the introduction of "Hard" TRs which further messed up TRs training. When TRs were finally debugged and strightened out in the 1970s, these things had already been forgotten and instead a long and difficult road through pro TRs had become the order of the day. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN TRS TRAINING IS TO COACH THE BEING RATHER THAN THE BODY. Now this is almost too obvious to mention. And in fact it was too obvious and never did get mentioned properly. And yet all the top auditors, the ACC grads, the Class 7s, the BC graduates, and most people who were coached by them just simply did it this way. I know that I picked it up, and I would coach my students that way when I was cramming officer, and I never noticed it as something special which I was doing. And so it was never actually mentioned or beefed up, we just did it that way, sort of picking it up by osmosis. And I will bet that those sharp old timers picked it up from Ron in the early days, again by osmosis and immitation, and nobody, including Ron, quite realizing how important this was or getting it down on paper as a formal procedure. And I must have seen later body oriented TRs coaching numerous times and felt that something was wrong and yet not been able to put my finger on what it was. But I could see that people were grinding on endlessly to reach skill levels that we often attained on nothing more than two or three light passes through the TRs, and even then they were often robotic. TRs just ain't that difficult, and the gains are fantastic. I know people who've gone clear on a second light run of TR0 on an HQS course. They realized that they were mocking up the pictures that the coach was restimulating by bullbaiting and they stopped mocking them up. You mess this up by putting the student's attention on his body with your flunks. You make it fast by always expressing the reason for a flunk in such a way that it draws the student's attention outward and gets him to operate as a thetan instead of a body. You push a button and the student twiches. You never, ever flunk him for twitching. Instead, on seeing a twich, you would funk him for what he as a being is doing, which might be flinching at or non-confronting what you said or whatever. You must get him to confront what you say rather than sitting there and suppressing the body from reacting. You want him to have zero attention on his body and all his attention on you as the pseudo-pc that he is supposed to be auditing. This applies to all the TRs. Let's take TR 1 where the student is learning to say something to the coach and actually deliver it across the distance with intention. Maybe the student says it too weakly and it doesn't get there. The foolish coach flunks him for "saying" it too weakly and the student proceeds to make the body say it louder and tries to get "the body" to speak with more "intention". The smart coach says something like "It didn't reach me" or anything that puts the student's attention outward, so that the student works on reaching the coach rather than working on making the body say it a certain way. It is a subtile difference, but if you start coaching the body you will find that you are drilling the body's circuits and teaching a course in posture and elocution and if you coach the being you will find that you are drilling an OT and the body manifestations begin to fall away rapidly because you are validating the being. ------------ The second bug came in with trying to do two hours of TR 0 (or OT TR 0) unbullbaited without any reaction. LONG MANY HOUR RUNS OF TR 0 UNBULLBATIED ARE AN ATTEMPT TO FLATTEN "BE A STATIC" RATHER THAN DRILLING TRS. And auditor can and must be able to sit there comfortably for two hours handling a session. But he does not sit there in a state of zero randomity. He is running a session. You can polish up a pro by expecting two hours of TR4 without a flunk. People can do this. It is easy once the student's buttons have been flattened and his comm cycle has been cleaned up. You could even have a sort of TR4W, with W standing for "wait" where the coach intentionally sits there quietly with long comm lags and the student has to maintain his intention and session presence rather than being entertained by bullbaiting. But if you insist on pure unbullbaited TR0 with no randomity for too long a period after the student has gotten his TR zero in, you slide over into flattening tolerance for minus randomity, tolerance for no-game conditions, and "be a static". It actually acts like an overrun, turning on mass and driving the TA high. The other TRs do not really overrun like processes. The student can get invalidated by continuing too long past a big win and you can rehab that, but you don't see the other overrun phenomena, a being can do anything forever and these are drills. But with unbullbaited zero, you are not asking him to "do anything forever", instead you are asking him to "do nothing forever" and we are pushing straight up against early track and separation from static. There will be a point where his TR zero really came in. He can sit on this point for ten minutes and all is well. But if you ask him to sit on it for two hours, he is going to start mocking things up for randomity. This might flatten eventually, there are high states where the thetan can have being a static. But most people get throught two hour runs of zero randomity with suppress or by running OT drills covertly to raise havingness or whatever. It is not actually pure TR 0. Sometimes they even make big gains doing this, holding corners of the room or spotting spots in the coach's body or whatever, but the student is given absolutely zero instructions on doing anything like this. And so we have a free-for-all where he might be doing something helpful (holding corners actually is very good and mixes in well, I don't want to stop people from doing this) but he might also be doing something screwy like talking to an imaginary friend to pass the time. The important point is that you have moved out of the band of drilling confront and are over-running into something else. You can rehab (we used to do that in TR's debugs) or you can wait a few days until the restim on static cools down and it will usually run as a confront drill again. --------- OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS: These are known but sometimes get forgotten. Flatten buttons by precise duplication until the button no longer reacts. Even mass bullbaiting flattens quickly with big gains if the group can be made to flatten a button precisely. Unfortunately, it is rare that a group will do this properly unless they are all professional auditors. Since this is not needed as a session skill, it was dropped. But if it should happen on TRs that the student does overhear a remark from another student and breaks up or whatever, a good coach should try and get the other student to repeat the remark and they should flatten it. In other words, if you accidentally get into a bit of mass bullbaiting, go ahead and flatten the button if possible. Bullbaiting must be rough. Even on new people. Don't mince around. At one time bullbaiting was pulled from the HAS (comm course) and you never saw a course's stats crash so fast. And they soared back up as soon as rough bullbaiting was put back in. New people, even the highly proper and conservative ones, just love it as long as they get to do both sides, pushing buttons as well as getting them pushed, and as long as there is an air of doing it for good intentions to get people's confront up. On bullbaiting, anything can be flattened. The old R6 students used to chant GPM end words at each other (and not in sequence or with any auditing protections) and they would get through it. It might be better not to do this with new people (at least not on purpose - they will hit very heavy stuff accidentally), but don't be afraid of pushing any button, it will flatten. On new people, being a coach bullbaiting the student is actually a bit of a grade zero process. They are blowing their own communication stops by saying things they would not normally confront saying in ordinary conversation. The "lightness" on a TRs course for new people is in the gentleness of handling, validation of wins, and not staying on one TR too long. But the expectations and demands for skill should be maximum strength. You get what you validate. On any level of TRs course, the coach should validate it when he first feels that the student's TRs have come in on the particular drill. Don't leave him wondering if he's got it right because he will slide back off of it. Except for a first course, you do not want to pass the student until you see that he can maintain the TR for a while, because you need a stable result. But let him know that you are feeling good about how he is doing it. You bullbait again on TRs 3 and 4. His buttons are much more exposed while he is trying to do something rather than just sitting there. Often you get a lot of suppress on 0 bullbaited, and having him do something at the same time stops this. On TR 3 he will sometimes get away with things by putting them on a circuit. So you get more on TR 4 because he can't handle originations intelligently while letting a circuit run the session. You don't send him back to 0 for more bullbating because he will just suppress again. Really TR 3 and 4 should each be done once for comm cycle handling (no heavy bullbaiting) and again with maximum bullbaiting. And on TR 4, you emphasise intelligent and adroit handling of originations as covered in the PAB rather than robotic not-isness of the origination. -------------- A "Pro" TRs course: As I mentioned, you get what you validate. A pro course should begin with a light pass through, giving maximum validation and bailing out early on good wins. Then I would recommend a pass through the "permissive coaching" variation in the 1963 HCOB that the org unfortunately cancelled (it is in the old tech volumes and the freezone 1963 tech volume). This does not substitute for real TRs, but it is an excellent drill for getting the student to observe the fine points and raising his awareness. This can be done in a day, it is not an endurance pass. Then listen to some demo sessions. Then go for broke, emphasising naturalness as well as precision and flawlessness. If necessary you could do this in two passes, but I think that most people could make it in one. Do not go for 2 hour marathons on unbullbaited zero. It might take 2 hours before it goes in (unlikely), but when the student's got it and can maintain it for a few minutes, give him a pass. The coaching should be rough and demanding as far as holding a standard for excellence, but it should be high ARC and done in a high toned comradly way rather than invalidating. After normal TR 4 is excellent, do TR 4 with admin. Then do TR 4 with a meter and admin. Finish up with an endurance version of TR 4 (TR 4W as mentioned above), and it might as well be with admin. Include occasional bullbaiting and convoluted hard to handle originations, but also punch up this business of being able to tolerate long comm lags from the pc without having to do something. This one should be two hours by the clock because you need the ability to sit there in session. But keep the long marathons out of the lower TRs. Everything up to this last step should go fast. ----------------- METERING: The biggest bug I have seen in people trying to learn to read a meter is that they ask the meter instead of the pc. The meter doesn't have a case. It will not itself "read" on the question. Only the pc reads and you have to ask him, and the meter will report his reaction. Almost all beginning students have their TR1 going into the meter when they first try to assess. In truth, it is easier to assess by looking at the pc while also having the meter dial in your line of vision than it is to attempt to get the meter to read while staring down at it. TR 4 with a meter helps a lot. Just putting the student back on TR 1 without a meter generally does little good because you are not handling what is putting his TRs out. But the easiest solution is generally to do the instant read drill but only coach the TR 1 aspect of it until it goes in.
