Okay, this is lecture two, Saint Hill Special Briefing Course, 29 Nov. AD 12. And going now into some more of the theory and discussion of Routine 2-12.

Well. I've got some notes tonight. And again they have nothing to do with the lecture, they just have to do with you.

Routine 2-12 bridges over into 3GA Criss Cross, Step 4 of Routine 3-21 very easily. But the purpose of finding items in Routine 2-12 is to cure the present time problems which might be impinged upon the GPM.

All right, what is this?

Where you have an individual with a great, big gorgeous fixation on the National Insurance Company and how it must be destroyed before the end of the world can take place, he will continue to be fixated on the National Insurance Company.

Audience: 29 November.

Now, what you don't recognize, that he is looking at something which represents to him one - half of a dumbbell package of the GPM. And he will never look at the other side. He will never say, "Who am IT' He will only continue to say, "Damn the National Insurance Company."

Twenty - nine Nov. AD 12 , Saint Special Briefing Course, lecture one.

Well, this appears very reasonable to everybody because everybody knows that the National Insurance Company has been doing all kinds of frauds and swindles and so forth. And everybody gets so reasonable about this that unless you really bear down on the new auditor, he makes a very fundamental error in doing 2 - 12 - makes a very fundamental error. He does an "of course," and ignores that thing reading on an assessment.

All right. This is a talk about R2 - 12. Now, there's - the first thing you should know about R2 - 12 is there are many indications and few stabilities so far as the condition of a list. And I only know of one absolute rule about lists. A list must be nullable. It must be susceptible to being nulled. You must be able to be able to null a list. That isn't you the auditor, that's the list.

Let's take somebody, who is having an awful lot of trouble with her husband, being audited by somebody who has an awful lot of trouble with her husband. And we will get one of these reasonable "of course" situations. And the funny part of it is that this auditor, who has the duplicate problem of the pc, will say "of course" and not pay any attention to it because it doesn't seem aberrative to her and will ignore it.

Some lists are not nullable. Now, right away we should make a differentiation here between an indication and a rule. An indication is something like tracking, and there's a bit of grass bent over and that's an indication, you see, and there's a stone disturbed in the middle of the sand pit and so you decide that something went across there and so forth. Those are indications. They're not like signposts. And these are some indications. If there's no R/S on the list, if there's no rock slam on the list, why, you're in trouble, that's just a dead horse and there's no particular reason to groom it up and gild the hooves and polish the harness and wash the teeth and all that sort of thing; it's - you just - it's just a dead horse.

This is most manifest when you can't find - you get rock slammers that can't find rock slams on rock slammers. See, this is the mechanism behind it, it's an "of course."

And if you suddenly look up as you go along and find out the ground is awfully close to you and - and the - it doesn't seem that it's moving any, why of course you'd unload off that dead horse. And sometimes you can save some of the harness, but that's about all. And usually you don't even bother to pick up the harness, don't you see, you just skip it. Dead horse. And actually dead horses are what consume most of the time in R2 - 12. You will spend two and three times as much time on a dead horse as you will spend on an active list, so therefore these indications are of interest. They are not rules, you understand, they are just indications, and they're of interest.

Of course everybody would be mad at a Scientology organization, you see? They both slam on the same thing, you see, naturally. So that - we needn't pay any attention to that. And this oddly enough, aside from all the mechanics of it will be your most fruitful source of error, is this "of course," not this reasonableness. We're only interested in the mechanics of the thing, the ethnic difficulties.

So, although you say that if you don't develop a rock slam in the first fifty items, although - that's an indication, you see - and the pc's still awfully interested in the list and so forth, well go on up to seventy, eighty - five items, see. Go on up a ways. Go on further. The pc seems to be interested and engrossed and that sort of thing, why, go a little bit further, still no rock slam, why just unload. Because a list that doesn't rock slam occasionally, here or there, sporadically, once in a blue moon - doesn't matter whether the slam is a dwindling slam or otherwise - won1 produce an item. It just won't do it. So, although it is true that a non - rock slamming list, a list without rock slams on it, will not produce an item, it is not true that because it produced a rock slam it will produce an item. Got that?

So we have this fellow mad at the National Insurance Company audited by somebody who knows that the National Insurance Company is no good.

Just because a list rock slams is no guarantee of anything. It's just a better indication that there's an item on the list. Look at it in reverse, if a list doesn't rock slam it won't produce an item. You've got to have an occasional rock slam on that list to get a rock slamming item off the list and of course you're only interested in rock slamming items.

And they're going to assess everything in the world but the National Insurance Company and they're going to miss. You'll find this will happen and when you're using this in Academies, and so forth - it will happen all too often - the reasonableness of it.

Now you go on and list, of course, and as you go on and list, so it produces a rock slam. Well, that's a hopeful indication, that is not a rule that it will produce an item! That it produces no rock slam, it is very positive, very positive that it will not produce an item. But that the list rock slams simply is an indicator that it might produce an item. You got that? If you just - if you get these indicators in their right focus, why all becomes easy.

Now, what the actual mechanic of the situation is, that's all we're interested in. If this fellow has his attention, his overtness, fixated on any present time thing, then we assume that that present time thing represents a piece of the GPM. And that hidden and out of sight is it's opposing piece. This person never asks himself, "Who or what would oppose the National Insurance Company." That he never asks, because in the first place he is Joe Jones and he is opposing the National Insurance Company and he's keyed in the terminal arsonist and the oppterm is insurers. See it's a nice game and it's buried right there in the GPM.

Now, what do we mean by a nullable list? Well, it means one that you can go down without getting your mid ruds in every few items. Now, you'll want numbers, but unfortunately the number varies from pc to pc; but if you can't go on a list more than eight, nine or ten items without putting in your mid ruds and cleaning up a dirty needle, once more you have a very, very good indication that the ground is getting closer to you and it isn't going by at any speed at all. And what you do about that time is start loosening your feet in the stirrups.

But this thing is so keyed in to present time that this individual is being audited continuously with a present time problem. In session he always some part of some session his thinkingness will fixate on the National Insurance Company. He'll compare all this as to how it relates to the National Insurance Company. He will want to get well so that he can be powerful enough to blow the top of the building off. All of his auditing is being coned in toward this.

Now, it's all right to go down a few. Now, let's talk about the sources of these non - nullable lists. A list that cannot be nulled. What are the sources of this? They are three in number: (1) That thing from which they are being listed - that thing from which the list is being listed - was improper. Well, oddly enough there is no establishing this on your early List One assessment. If something kicks or activates, you of course, represent it and get a representing list. But there is no indication of any kind from that original indication, that original needle read, that will tell you at once whether this list is going to produce an item.

In other words, his fixation on present time is such that he never goes backtrack. He's trying to audit himself up to something or other. In other words, he's dramatizing the companion dumbbell, see? The other ball there that is opposing that thing, insurers.

In other words, sometimes you get the faintest trace in the world, it's a sporadic speeded rise or a sporadic speeded fall, and you list the thing down, it slams like mad and winds you up with a nice big juicy reliable item. And the next time you have one that dirty reads and it's clicking and it even looks like it has an occasional spit, you know, a sort of a reverse rocket read, or something like that, the beginnings of a slam, it looks hot, it looks tense and you go on and you list it and you list it and list it, it produces a slam, and you list it and list it and list it and list it and list it and list it and list it, and you go back to the beginning of it and the pc says that's it and you say that's it and it's a clean read and you start nulling and it goes out, out, dirty needle, dirty needle, dirty needle. So it's, well, we'll add to this list.

Now, the National Insurance Company is not part of the bank. It is a key - in. It is a substitute for, a lock on, this GPM thing that keeps it in continuous restimulation.

So we get in our - we add to the list, you see, and we get in our mid ruds again and we test the question, pzzzzt, question goes, whatever the list question was, and you add to it and add to it and add to it and add to it and you go back, it's all - test the question again. Flat. Not a whisper. And you go back and you start in at the beginning of the list, you're all set to go and it goes item null, item null, item null, dirty read, dirty needle.

Therefore, because one side of it's in restimulation, hidden and out of sight we have the pc's terminal. And there's the pc's terminal. Pc never recognizes it. Every time he strikes a box of matches he always holds the match too long or drops it on your favorite carpet. Or he's always in trouble, one way or the other. You see him with burned fingers. And he strikes a match and it ignites the matchbox and he drops that on your carpet. And he lights a gas stove by turning on the oven full blast and then he looks around the kitchen for a while for some matches.

Now the unwise auditor at this point begins to hound the pc for missed withholds. Now the missed withhold is, is there isn't going to ever be anything on this list, you see. The item which you are listing from is not really going into the GPM. It's just paralleling it. And it's going to go on forever. Well, you've already got this list out to 585 items and the question is still pzzzzt. There were slams on the list, everything else, but you can't list more than a handful before you get another charged up dirty needle, as opposed and different than the dirty read, see. Just dirty read, dirty needle, dirty needle. That ground has now greeted the soles of your shoes. That horse will not go any place else. It doesn't matter what you do to this horse, you can feed him full of phenobarbital, calm his nerves, Dexedrine to speed him up, hormones, and not a thing is going to happen.

You see this bird day after day, month in and month out, without his eyebrows. But in spite of this occurring all the time, all the time, all the time, he will never dream, think of, assume, nothing, about this terminal arsonist. And yet there it is in full restimulation.

That list would probably go to 1,595 items and still be producing the same confounded manifestations, driving you stark, staring mad. Now, that's wrong source. That's wrong source. See? That - there was no telling whether or not that thing you were going to represent, off an assessment, was going to produce a good list or not. There was no indicator in that, it just didn't produce a decent list.

Now, your little tab that shows up is his dislike of the National Insurance Company. And as you're running "Who or what would bilk people" or some question, he puts down the National Insurance Company. And as you go down the line with an assessment you suddenly find yourself looking at an item - National Insurance Company. And this thing rock slams, which means fixation, overts against, withholds from, games condition, that's what that rock slam means. It means the pc has a terrific reality on this thing. And it means the pc will shell out items on this thing like a Las Vegas blackjack dealer.

All right, now there's another type of wrong source. There is the - what you're opposing is wrong. That can be a wrong source. Well, let's say you've wound up with the item "waterbuck" and you saw it slam and it faded away and it isn't there any more, and you can't get a single click, tick or snick out of "waterbuck." Yet because it slammed you're hopeful. So you say, "Who or what would oppose a waterbuck?" You've tested it out and you found out that it did turn on some sen, actually it's still turning on some sen, and you say, "Well, it's still turning on some sen so therefore, of course, there's still something there, and maybe the rock slam has just been eaten up in the middle of it all." So you say, "Who or what would oppose a waterbuck?" And this list of 300 is apparently ended as far as the pc is concerned, the question is clean, everything appears to be going along fine, it produced a slam, it looks wonderful and you start in at the beginning of it and it goes, item null, item null, item in, item null, item, item null, item, dirty needle.

So there he is, that item, National Insurance Company. Well, we test it out and we find out when we say to him "National Insurance Company," that he turns on sen. We say: "National Insurance Company," he sort of gets gritty toothed, you know. And he sort of at the same time feels a little dizzy, feels a little tipped over. Anchor points seem to be kind of out of balance. Things begin to go into motion in his vicinity - sen.

So you continue the list, to be safe for another hundred, which is perfectly legitimate. The question's clean again, everything is fine, everything's marvelous so you go up to where you ended off and it goes, item null, item null, item null, item null, item in, item null, item null, dirty needle. Dirty needle? Put in the mid ruds in a hurry, say, "What are you thinking about?" The pc says, "Well, I thought of an extra item. A goon." You say, "All right. We'll put a goon on the list." About this time you should be getting nervous, you know, because you can get your leg caught underneath a horse, you know, and ... So you put this on the list and you go a little bit further and you test the question and it's fine and you go back and you start to do this and it's item null, item, dirty needle, dirty needle, dirty needle.

So, this thing still slamming nicely, we say, "Who or what would oppose the National Insurance Company?" Man, we get a beauty. This list goes bangety - bangety - bangety - bangety - bang, and finally item number 289 - or something like that - he puts on the list his arsonist. We go ahead. The list is obviously complete, reacts to it because it's nullable and we go down and we null the thing out. And there we're staring in the face arsonist, and it's rock slamming like mad.

Let me tell you, that can produce a dwindling slam three, four and five times as you list, and that list will never be nullable. I cannot give you any other characteristics than just that, it's just not nullable. What in actual fact is occurring? Well, as you see, a rock slam requires something to lean on to finally wind up with something.

All right. Now, if National Insurance Company was a reliable item you would just go directly at it. But supposing National Insurance Company is just a tick - tick - tick - tick on the assessment when we finally find it, doing a represent or an assessment of a represent list. And we do a represent and it gets down to insurers, see. Then that will slam.

Now, you've got this wall here see, that was the reliable item and you're listing against this wall. Man, those rock slams are discharging, those rock slams are doing interesting things, you finally wind up and you're going to find the item that is pressing against that wall. That's because it had something to lean on, but this other thing, it was a clean read you were getting on the thing finally, although it did slam; and it was an item and it looked like an item but it's a clean read now, you can't get anything off of it, and you just adventurously go on and oppose it. Of course, it's just going out into thin air. There's nothing for that list to lean on, you get the idea?

All right, the final end of it is, is regardless of whether we had to represent it to get the rock slam or whether it was just rock slamming in the first place, we've got a package. And this package means that we have found the two ends of the dumbbell. And this thing will discharge. Now, it won't necessarily evaporate totally. But usually if it's that close to present time we can count on it going absolutely numb - nothing. It'll wash right out as he begins to think this over.

Nothing for it to come up against and so it's never going to end. It's just going to constantly miss on the GPM. What you're doing, kind of, is cutting out paper dolls that are hanging on the concrete lampposts in the GPM, don't you see? And every once in a while they come on close enough to the GPM to make something slam. And actually what you're doing is just walking round and round the GPM picking locks off of it and you can go on and do it forever. Now, sometimes the pc turns on sen, very, very heavy sen, while you're doing such a list and you would be very, very unwise not to list the list till the sen turned off.

There are other things we could do with these if they kept on slamming and so forth. Why, we could represent the slamming items and they'd lead us deeper into the GPM., We can do other things with these. We could even list goals against any - either of these reliable items, you see. We've got other uses for these. We're not interested in those uses in R2 - 21 - R2 - 12 rather. Only in 3 - 21 are we interested in that, which is Step 4A, 3GA Criss Cross. So our main concern in doing 2 - 21 [2 - 121 is that there are two pieces of the GPM.

Don't stop listing because the pc has a bad stomach or something. You'll find out that these lists, even when they're going no place and will result in no reliable item, hold the pc's interest, are producing cognitions, everything is dandy except they're never going to be nullable. And if you stop listing them at the moment the pc has a sick stomach or he feels all caved in, or you've made a mistake, actually if you keep on listing the pc will pass out of it to a light case of sen. That's the time to unload. And then unload from that horse, push the horse in the ditch, or do anything you please with the horse, but go and find another horse. And of course you have to go back to your - a first list again to continue on. Do you understand?

Now, why is it called a GPM? It's called a Goals Problem Mass. It is a mass which is composed of identities which oppose identities. And they are so delicately faced against each other on the track that they don't slip. They're right there and they finally compose a great big, gaudy, black mass.

As you have been seeing here then, that a list rock slams is not a guarantee that it's going to hand you an item. That a list produces cognitions is only an indicator, - like the rock slam is. So the pc's cogniting, fine. But that's only an indicator; it doesn't guarantee a thing. But if the pc doesn't cognite at all while listing the list or seem interested in it, that's an indi - that's more than an indicator, that becomes a rule. You see? So again you have, no rock slam on the list and no cognitions from the pc. Well, this amounts to a rule: That's going to be a dead horse for sure. But again, that the pc does get cognitions is not a guarantee of anything; it's just an indicator. You understand? All right.

And you are going to have pcs tell you, "Oh these black masses that Ron talks about and so forth, probably he has an oppterm religion or something like that. And he probably - black masses," so on or something or other ... Then, "Nobody's ever seen one of these things." After a while, all of a sudden this - all this phenomena will start showing up for the pc.

Now, wrong assessment, that is to say a wrong assessment divides into auditor mistake, which winds up with a wrong assessment, the auditor just didn't assess right, and also unfortunateness. The failure to get out of bed and make the magic sign in the air before you start the day. That's just unfortunate, because you can make a right assessment and wind up with a non - nullable list. So, proceeding from the wrong point includes, for either reason, a wrong assessment or a nonreliable item. Using a nonreliable item, you see, to oppose - and that's going to wind you up in the soup.

I had somebody tell me that, "Well, I sort of parted company with your work back in 1952 when you started talking about ridges and things and I had no reality on that," years later all of a sudden collide with a ridge. They are black, they are round, they do oppose each other. In other words, these are not allegorical or metaphorical actions. They do have mass. And the anatomy of a problem is item versus item, postulate versus postulate. It's a game, in other words, where you have two sides equally opposed.

Then of course, there is this one. There is auditing the case in the presence of tremendous missed withholds. And that's going to louse you up, but believe me, that is the rarer thing. That is a rarer thing than you would at first think. You start in a session, you pull "nearly found outs" on the pc, that's enough, man, just like you'd handle it in ruds. Don't go using missed withholds to comb the pc apart in the body of the session, because the missed withhold is the fact that the item isn't there. Now, you could drive him round the bend. He'll feel like he has - missed withholds! He'll be certain he has got a missed withhold. You'll be certain of it too! But the missed withhold is the missing item and that missing item may never arrive on the list. You understand then that missing your missed withhold does play a role in this, but it actually plays no further a role than getting your rudiments in.

A problem does not become a problem as long - until one is unable to overwhelm and won't be overwhelmed. In other words, a problem is a matter of balance. You don't find people having problems with the government of Russia. In Russia you have no problems with the government. You are simply completely overwhelmed all the time. No problem.

That is getting in your beginning rudiments. Make sure your pc doesn't - isn't being audited with missed withholds and you won't run into this one at all, because you don't suddenly wind up in the middle of the session. In one case out of a thousand the pc may suddenly say, "Oh my God, I'd forgotten it myself, you nearly found out I'd robbed the bank." But the funny part of it is he'd just remembered it and he told you. It isn't something you have to dredge for.

You talk to a Russian, "Do you have any problems with your government?"

Now, your third source of travail, trouble, upset, is the incomplete list. Now, you see this incomplete list. I do wish and I must get hold of some of the old 3D Criss Cross folders to show you a real incomplete list. Man, they are championship lists; they are just marvelous. You've ju - I've looked at them and I've laughed to myself since - at it and so on because they'll have something like twelve items, you see, and about every third time over the list one of them would go out, which resulted in every item on the list having tremendous strings of slant marks, tremendous strings of slant marks, long things and of course, they wind up with exactly nothing.

"No, no, no, never have any problems with the government. Fine government, fine government, fine government. What other government is there?

Now, your incomplete list is in contest, however, with the non - nullable list, which introduces an interesting point of confusion for you. Now, it is a rule that a list must be nullable. That is the rule. And that is a stable datum. The list you get must be nullable, or you unload. What you do with a non-nullable list, which is eventually proven to be non - nullable, is you just unload off that list. You go back then and do a new first step. You don't do anything else that's fancy or try to patch this up, you just throw your blowout patches, and all of that kind of thing, throw them in the garbage can, you've got no use for them. You can spend the rest of your life trying to figure out why something is, why the thing didn't null out to that. You can drive yourself batty. You get down to the end of a list, you didn't find any item on the list and the pc all of a sudden in a frantic state of spurt thinks they're guilty for not having put the reliable item on the list, so they start giving you spates of reliable items.

You mean you're free? How do you stand it?" You know, you find all kinds of weird arguments.

Well, go ahead, put them down - well, go ahead and put all of them. They'll give you five, six, eight, ten variations on the last item that was in on the list and they just keep fading and folding up, and - oh, you can do this forever. You can come down to the last item on the list, it doesn't have any action on it to amount to anything, but you decide that you'd better represent it, and get yourself some place, don't you see? You decide your assessment might have been wrong and you missed the boat in doing your nulling, that something was in and you missed the read, something like that, so you decide YOU're going to do the whole list again, oh, that's just currying dead horses, man.

Now, in that case you find some girl who has won in a marriage. Marriage is no problem to her. Got her husband completely overwhelmed. He cooks dinner, he earns the money, takes care of the children, everything. And she never lifts a foot, sits in the dining room, sits in the living room eating bonbons. She's got that licked. Marriage is no problem to her. You see here's your case of overwhelm or be overwhelmed. Well, that doesn't make a problem.

The proper action on Routine 2 - 12 is when you wind up at the crossroads of nowhere, the only map you have left is the step one of 2 - 12, whatever you're using for the first list, whatever should now come up as the first list, don't you see. That is always your guiding post. Now you can waste more time and do less for the pc, in all cases, by trying to patch up something you believe must be pursuing from an error, and the more time you use patching that up the more trouble you're going to get into.

No, her husband works and makes money. And she works and makes money. And the husband doesn't like housework but thinks the other party should do it. And she doesn't like housework and thinks the other party should do it. She likes to go to movies and the husband likes to sit home and read books. They are more or less of equal strength; Saturdays she wins the fisticuffs, Sundays he does.

The thing to do, if you get nowhere, straighten out the pc, straighten out the pc, put in your mid ruds for the list that you did, you see and so on, explain the situation to the pc, go back and take off again. You see. No crash will find - wind up fatal. That's quite interesting. The only time you can get the pc into serious trouble is you're listing a list and the pc is kind of sick and you don't go on and list the sen out of the thing, or the pc is terrified or something like this, and you don't list that sen out. Then you're in trouble. And then the only remedy is just keep listing when the pc feels horrible, just keep listing till he doesn't and then if you can't null that list even yet, and so forth, just unload and go back to your first step. I'd say that's the only thing that I would do if I found I was on an un-nullable list, so I'd ask the pc, "How do you feel?" and the pc says, "Oh, my God, ohhhhhhhh."

This thing is never resolved - never resolved. Nobody ever overwhelms anybody. It goes on and on and on. If you spoke to either one of them and you said "a problem." They would say "wives" or "husbands" or "marriage," something like that. See, it's got to be an equally balanced affair. That's the point I'm making here.

You say, "All right, who or what would oppose a waterbuck?" see. And after a while, "How do you feel?" "Oh, I feel much better." "All right, you got some sen, anything like that?" "Yeah, I feel a little bit dizzy." Oh, I'll settle for that, to hell with it. Unload. Realize you're carrying a dead horse that whole length of time. You got hold of his bridle and you're dragging him down the road with one hand, you see.

Well, now, don't underestimate the age of a pair of items in a - in the Goals Problem Mass. This thing - this whole thing is built up, basically, on the alter - isness of goals. So you say at once, "Well, why don't we just find the pc's goal and then everything will resolve."

Recognize what you're doing; you're not about to get an item. It is not that - a pc can turn on sen and you can get an item, but this list is already proving un-nullable, non - nullable; the list is not going to be nulled. It can't be nulled. Every time you try to null it, dirty needle, bzzzz, bzzzzzz, bzzzzz, bzzzzzz, bzzzzz, brzzzz. Oh, to hell with it. See what I mean?

Well, unfortunately that is not the case. Because even if you found the pc's goal on the bulk of the pcs, he has still got two items which are present time problems. And the goal doesn't instantly and immediately resolve those items. And so you're trying to audit somebody with a screaming present time problem, even though you have this person's goal. And you'll find out this goal just doesn't ever list to free needle. And he just doesn't ever go Clear. So that's why. Now, these bypassed items, and so forth, are pinned into PT one way or the other and they're beyond the pc's reach or confront.

Now, when you run into that ask the pc how the pc feels, and if the pc feels ill, sick, dizzy, terrified, furious, misemotional, any of these connotations, or if the pc has pain, why, just list it till the pc feels better and then get off of that dead horse - you're not even on him, see - and go on back to your first step. See, that's a very simple adjudication you can make.

So here - here is what we get. We get this equally balanced pair, one against the other. And being an equally balanced pair there's no slip. Neither one of them has ever overwhelmed the other one. But the age of this, how long has this been going on? Well, it may have been going on for trillions and trillions of years on a single pair. And the game just before that - all based on the same goal - is another pair and it has gone on for trillions. And there's another pair before that. And how long has that game gone on? Trillions. And there's ... See?

So what you should do is keep fully in mind that a list must be nullable. A list must be nullable. And now a nullable list is one where items just go out very easily, and the needle doesn't dirty up to amount to anything and usually can be put back in by just saying to the pc offhandedly, "Is there something there you wanted to give me or something you want to tell me?" You understand? Just that, just that. And it cleans up, and once in a blue moon there's been a jam - up. You yourself should recognize these jam - ups and what they do to rudiments.

Some pc who tells you that he has totally accumulated his aberration in this lifetime because you've been mean to him - never been done and it never will be done. It takes a long time to get in that kind of condition. Takes a long time.

This thing has got "a helper" see, that's the item you're reading and you've gotten cross - eyed in the thing somehow or another and you've put "a scalper" and the pc dimly remembers that this is wrong, and you say, "a helper," you should have said, "a helper," you say, "a scalper," and a scalper has nothing to do with this list. It's "Who or what would be pleasing to mother," or something like that, you know. And "scalper," the pc says. And if you happen to look up and see a pc looking dazed or upset and your needle has gone dirty and so forth, there's always a chance that you made a mistake on the list somehow or another in reading it, and you've muddied it up, well, you go and get your mid ruds in and get your protest off of it or your mistake off the thing and keep on going, you'll find the thing will keep on nulling.

Now, let's take this one that's right up at the top: arsonist and insurers as a package. Take this one right up to the top of the bag of walnuts. This thing is a billion years old, see, or a trillion. And boy is it massive and boy is it beefy and boy has he lived a lot of lives in that pair. Lots of types of lives. Why, this guy has even sunk so low as to become an employee of insurers. Had the most seniest life of all.

You can go on nulling this thing, you get on down to about four items and they're all giving a dirty read, and you don't have a rock slam on anything. Well, that didn't mean you got skunked, not on these light, surface readings which we're taking here on 2 - 12. You can't do anything with these. Well, just ask the pc, "Does the first one" - that's on an opposition list - "does the first one oppose a mother, does the second one oppose a mother and the third one oppose a mother?" And the pc finally says, "Ah, ah, oh yes, the second one ha, ha." And you go and you look at this mother, and it's evaporated, there's no read on "mother," there's no read on any of it. That's the packaging step which we are not particularly covering at this time.

He's been anything and everything, you see. But these items are cumulative. So you have two principal valences, perfectly balanced, one against the other. One is thrusting just as hard as the other is thrusting. Neither one of them are overwhelming the other. And to those are accumulated thousands of additional little ones. And those things also oppose those things. And you can just - it's just almost endless, numerically. You get staggering figures out of this sort of thing.

You'll find out that blew up. Well, you've finished, that's it. That's how to get rid of the read off the last three or four when they've all evaporated; that all comes under packaging.

Now, this composition of the GPM would be very nice if it just consisted of a dumbbell and then below that a slightly bigger dumbbell. And below that a slightly bigger dumbbell and below that a slightly bigger dumbbell. And there were sixty dumbbells in numbers - sixty pairs - and that was the whole lot of it. And then we went into the second goal below that and then there were forty - two pairs that went into the second goal, you see, and so on. And this was all laid out and perfectly plotted against the time track and so on. They'd be very easy to find. But they aren't plotted that way. If it was all straightened out it would be plotted that way.

So that is not part of the nullability of a list. When I'm talking about the nullability of a list I'm talking about being able to proceed down this list, pocketa - pocketa - pocketa - pocketa - pocketa - pocketa, one call you see, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, in, out, out, out, out, in. Whenever I strike a "in" and then an "in" and then a "in," and then a "in," I get in my mid ruds. Imagine my embarrassment occasionally to find out that those three in a line were all hot. But there'd be no telling.

But this pc is a case of scrunch. The characteristic of the reactive mind is instantaneousness. There is no time in the reactive mind. This happens to be one of the highest characteristics of a thetan. Actually a thetan has no time. And the lower scale mockery of that particular characteristic is no time everything in this instant.

Now, its very, very good practice to occasionally, and I'd say once a - once a page or something like this, ask "Suppress." You see, a complete list is going out just skit, skit, skit, skit, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, you see? And a suppressed list will also go out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, out, you know. So it's good practice, it's good practice to ask the pc, "On this list is there anything you've suppressed?" And you just - you don't take him by sudden storm, you just - you’re running your meter and you say, "Well now, on - I'm going to ask the Suppress button." And you say, "On this list is there anything you've suppressed?" and you say, "That's clear!" and you carry on. Got the idea?

Now, you've got the whole of this Goals Problem Mass, to the pc, is dated this instant. It could be sixty trillion years' worth of this instant. There is no time differential in this thing. Therefore when you null, you say one of these things to the pc, it reacts on the meter as this instant. One of the reasons we call them instant reads. Soon as the thought gets across it reacts. How could it possibly react? Well that's the marvelous thing about it. It's just the instantaneousness of the reactive bank.

Don't even bother to prepcheck it. See, you don't do anything with it, you just ask it, because if it's that lightly suppressed the button will read and if it's suppressed then you clean that suppress off of it. And then you'll find out that you're fairly safe. Now do you go back and go over anything because you found the Suppress button out? I haven't been and I haven't gotten in trouble. Usually carry on.

The analytical mind would require a lot of time. So you'll find out that your latent reads are analytical reads. The more time is connected to a read or the more time is apparent in reads - and this is only a rough approximation, not a hard and fast rule - why the more analytical it would be.

A nullable list, that becomes a stable datum with you. And therefore a study of what makes lists non - nullable gives you a point of orientation from which to study assessment. You're trying to achieve a nullable list. Well, if the pc's got beaucoup missed withholds, you're not going to get a nullable list.

But you don't find slow reads on the reactive bank. Now, the motto of the reactive bank is A =====A = A===== A, A la Book One. And according to the Dianetic Axiom, time is the single source of human aberration - and it is. You have this A - prime thing that is the most aberrative about it is the time. So that time equals time equals time equals time; 1870 equals 1920 equals 1736 equals the year zero. They're all the same instant, not the same year. The pc isn't confused about these things. On this level of reactivity they are all the same instant! And a hundred trillion years ago is this instant. And everything is this instant. It's the most gorgeous, instantaneous current reaction that you ever wanted to have anything to do with.

In fact, you're not going to be getting an assessable anything. That's going to produce lots of dirty needles. If the list proceeds from a wrong source whether it was by the first assessment or because what you're opposing has no charge on it, you're going to get a dirty needle list. And that's going to be not nullable. And your incompleteness of the list is going to produce a non-nullability. Your judgment is only invited at this one point, is how long does the list have to be to be complete? And that's a question like how long is a piece of string? How high is the sky?

Well, if time is all the same, what differentiation can we find that we can work on? The differentiation we can find is in reality on. Actually, in theory, every time you say boo to the pc the whole reactive bank reacts. Every item in the reactive bank reacts. But this is one of these "absolutes are unobtainable" and it's a nonsensical statement. You see, it's like "you stamp against the Earth, the Earth stamps against you," you know. It's this type of statement. In actual fact, the situation as we look at the meter is only saved by the reality of the pc - saved by the reality of the pc - because the meter reads on what the pc has reality on, not what the pc is momentarily in.

Now the more jammed up the pc is, which we'll go into in a moment, the more jammed up and messed up is the pc, the longer the pc's going to go with the list. The list is directly proportional to the difficulties the pc has. Therefore to lay down a rule that you must produce a rock slam in exactly so many items is a little bit adventurous. That is again only an indicator. After a while even on the pc you're doing, you say after a while, "There should have been a rock slam here someplace. I'll carry it on a little bit further." Well, how much is a little bit further? We know this pc is not really producing very much of anything. You know, I mean, identification is fantastic on this case. Ahh, I don't know you might list 150, 175 on some very strange, peculiar case; this would be the odd case, you see.

As far as the GPM is concerned - you see, there's free track running alongside of the GPM and the pc can move up and down that track - and Dianetics is the study of that free track. We're now studying the GPM; we're not studying engrams. What we're studying is covered in Book One under valences and circuits. And all that talk about circuits in one chapter there, those are all items right out of the GPM. They are right there in Book One.

And all of a sudden there's a rock slam, wow, wow, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, see? And this other case is not so superidentified in the bank and you soon learn that if this case doesn't produce a rock slam in the first fifteen or twenty you've had it. So you see, cases vary. It's actually case density, and that density isn't even tone arm density, unfortunately; I wish it were. Just because a case is a high tone arm case is no particular reason why they're a totally identified case, you see.

I was aware of this thing but not to the extent that it pervaded the mind. And not to the extent that the free track can be neglected. You can do a lot for somebody running free track, but it's this instantaneous track. See, free track is timed.

Mass is simply mass and although mass is also produced by identification, that isn't the only source of mass, so therefore we don't have a reliable indicator in the tone arm. You get that? This fellow has an item called "solid steel" and that's a reliable item. Man, that's really reliable. And when you get anywhere in the vicinity of this item, or if you're sitting on this item for several lists before you finally arrive at the thing, you're going to get one of the staggerest highest tone arms you ever wanted to consult. And all of a su - there isn't anything wrong with the case.

The reality of the pc is governed by the pc's tolerance of force. So your pc is not recognizing that which is closest to him in the moment of time or any of these other things. It's not that one thing reads because it is later than the other or earlier than the other. It's a thing reads because it most closely approximates the pc's limit of reality on force.

And all of a sudden you're getting items, everything's going along fine, the pc's feeling better and then one day you're saying, "Who or what would oppose the government?" And he says, "Solid steel." And actually at the moment he says this you'll see this arm start to come down; then it will come down and down and down and finally when you get the item out and pair it up and so on, it goes, phoof! Clear read. Got the idea?

And you can always run against the ceiling of that limit; just the ceiling against that reality on force. And that ceiling is marked by the rock slam. That's how much force can this pc bear to confront? You'll find out a person is as sane, not as he uses force, but he is as sane as he can tolerate force. A direct relationship between force and sanity.

It happens to be a very massive item. So the tone arm is not an indicator of how dug in a case is, which is unfortunate. Now, we have a case that starts out in a total apathy of Clear read; this is the dead thetan case spoke of in E - Meter Essentials. Now, this character will require - and let's get into the rest of this thing - this case is going to require represent list after represent list, assessment after assessment, represent list after represent list! There are no slams anyplace, you're just listing, listing, listing, listing! The case is feeling a little bit better and case is feeling a little bit better and you finally decide that's a dead horse and you go on to the next one and you list that one all the way down, the case is feeling a little bit better, and you couldn't get anyplace with that one.

You start running around banning bombs. You run into a very interesting proposition. You're not going to get very much support because the bulk of the population of Earth doesn't believe in them. There's too much force contained in an atomic bomb and they just can't confront it so it just isn't real.

You go on to the next one and so forth and you'll see all of a sudden the thing you're assessing from is beginning to go live. In other words your Scientology List One is getting hotter and hotter and hotter. You've actually done list after list after list and you didn't get anything on any of them.

Actually, if the population were capable of tolerating force they would have long since have torn both the governments of the United States and Russia to pieces, limb from limb. The reason wars can occur is because people can't tolerate force. So they have no reality on what they're doing. They don't know how much force they're going to turn loose. It's an irresponsible action.

Now, all of that is very interesting, but what are the mechanics involved with all this, and why? Well frankly, it's the invention of a new therapy. Although we've had it for a long time we haven't recognized it as a therapy, and I finally spotted this thing for what it was. And, I didn't recognize it completely even when I gave it the definition the first time, which is: listing is auditing. Listing is auditing.

So a sanity is very far from measurable on the degree that an individual can throw out force - not handle force but throw out force, see? The amount of force that an individual will let loose is no index of his sanity. But the amount of force that the individual can confront or tolerate is a direct measurement of his sanity.

Well, I knew that listing on a goal was auditing, and that was for sure auditing, but how about the rest of this, how about the rest of this? Just listing is auditing. Simple. Listing is auditing. And let's not worry about goals or anything else. Just listing is auditing. And listing an opposition list to anything that rock slams, anything that rock slams, that continues to rock slam, it's a reliable item definition, listing an opposition list to that, is auditing. That's auditing.

And as the individual has come down the track through the GPM he has been less and less capable of tolerating force. And so the PT terminals and oppterms that are stuck right in present time are usually quite insurmountable to the pc until you've audited him with 2 - 12. Why?

Well, how much listing is auditing and what is this new process that's called listing.? Well, you just sit there and list. Well, how is it circumscribed? You've got an E - Meter, the pc can get a reality on something that will read on the E - Meter. All right, he can get his highest reality on that which rock slams on the E - Meter. The more read on the E - Meter, the more capable of reality on that he is. If for these purposes you call it a reality meter, you've got it made.

Well, all preclears suffer from some sort of a reaction like this: They think there is more to it than there is. It is inevitable. That's one of the - one of the guiding idiocies of a thetan. A thetan has several nuttinesses. He was born that way. And one of the things he was born with is just the - he thinks there is more to it than there is. He's always trying to make more of it than he can make out of it.

All right. The more magnitudinous the read, the more reality the pc will have on it. Now, recognizing that, then you could do any kind of an assessment that produced any read on the E - Meter - the read of course must not be one produced by protest and you know, tiger buttons and so forth - but anything that you could get to read, is safe to list. It's no guarantee that it'll produce a reliable item at the other end of it, but it is safe to list. So let's - let's just take this now, straight out of the blue, and let's just develop a process - it has nothing to do with 2 - 12, has nothing to do with anything - let's just develop a process, see. Let's put the pc on the E - Me - the pc is sick - let's put the pc on the E - Meter.

Now, you'll have many a pc - you've had this experience - you've had some pc sitting there - this pc is saying, "Oh well, let's see now, I'm trying to get off this withhold and it must be pretty bad," he's saying to himself. "And if I just get off this big withhold," and so forth, "I'd smooth out the needle. And I'm just always having to have mid ruds put in on me. And I must have done something very, very bad and I must have some big, dramatic withhold of some kind or another."

We say, "What's bothering you?" And the pc says, "Well, actually my liver," and you say, "Your liver." It reads. This is how crude this can be, see? You've got no pencil and paper in front of you, nothing, see? You've just got a meter. And you say, "All right, what represents your liver to you?" And he says, so - and - so and so - and - so and so - and - so and so - and - so and so - and - so and your tone arm wobbles around and so - and - so and so - and - so and so - and - so and pretty soon he doesn't have liver trouble.

He goes on and on and on and on and on with this nonsense. And then eventually says, "Well, I noticed your tie was crooked," and the needle straightens out. You get what I'm - what I'm driving at here.

This is a fellow that's been to Mayo brothers and has just got through spending 8,965 pounds, you see. The only condition is, is would it read on the meter. That shows he's susceptible of a reality on it. You see that is no assessment; this is crude as crude as crude could be. You say, "What's wrong with you?" "Well, my head's been hurting and my liver's been hurting, I've had a lot of trouble with my stomach." You're just watching the meter, see? And you say, "Stomach, what's this about your stomach?" Crash, see. "Well, all right, who or what represents your stomach?" See? "What's your stomach represent to you?" And he'll go - bowwow, and bowwow, and bowwow and bowwow and on and on and on and on and on and one of two things would happen. Now you see, now we're moving into assessment. Not a written assessment but just the - just the watching the needle to see which is the biggest read. That's pretty crude, but that would be establishing the fastest way to do something for this character.

Now, this - auditors do this sometimes, they will hound the pc trying to pick up the missed withhold because the pc's got a dirty needle. And they this girl, why heavens, she must have had all sorts of clandestine second dynamic withholds of various kinds and considerations which are catastrophic and fantastic and so forth. And the auditor is in there trying to straighten out with magnitude of dramatic effect, what in essence, would straighten out simply with a confrontation of something rather minor.

Well, I think you'd find out if you haunted a hospital that you would be doing better with your meter than they were doing with their scalpels. It's taking a lot less time and you didn't get - nobody's getting their hands bloody. Now, that's a great deal of benefit, of course, to some parts of the society-laundries and that sort of thing, but it doesn't do anybody else any good. Now, let's do it without a meter - let's do it without a meter. Let's take it at its earliest gradient.

You've sat there sometimes, I'm sure, and had been certain that this pc must have done something gigantic. And if you were lucky you eventually got what the pc did and it was very often neither gigantic nor not gigantic. And sometimes the pc upset you by giving you something gigantic. But the point - but the point I'm making here is it bore - actually the amount of dramatic content had little or nothing to do with the aberrative effect apparently on the needle. It just didn't have that relationship.

We say to this individual, "What's bothering you?" "Cough, well," he says, "cough, cough, got lung trouble, cough, cough." You say, "Well, anybody say you had lung trouble you were talking to?" "Well yeah, the doctors all say so." "Well, what trouble do you think you have?" "Oh well, it, ahhhh, it's my back actually." That's interest. You find out he'll go on and on and talk about his back. So you could assess it without a meter by interest. And you say, "Who or what represents a back to you?" And you'll find out he'll spew out items down the chute man, they just avalanche out of him. And you'd make him well. And there's with no meter.

Well, similarly, the only thing that will react on the needle is what the pc can get reality on. It isn't what's there or what isn't there.

Now, the thing that combines interest and reality is the rock slam. So that if we really did a searching one, searching for the pc's interest and where it lay, and we had him on the meter, when we finally hit that point you're going to get a rock slam. Now he not only has a high reality on this, he also has a great deal of interest in this and along with these two things it is jammed up like a Sherman tank hitting a concrete bulkhead. It is cram - jam packed. You're looking at a ridge. Now everything is identified with this. He will tell you, "Actually if people in the world took better care of their backs." What's this tell you? This tells you the fourth dynamic is collapsed on his back!

In this lifetime this pc has got very little drama. That I can assure you. But now we go into the GPM; I'm afraid that life was not quite as represented. This person is putting on a marvelous show. They go down and they always, inevitably are the first volunteer on the scene to sell poppies on Poppy Day. And they're nice to stray cats. And they do this and they're all subscribing to this and that and crutches for aged policemen, and all kinds of fun. And they're always around working, joining the United Nations, you know. Going to straighten out Katanga and all kinds of wild, incredible things these birds are up to, see?

Gayelord Hauser, you could run him for a day or two on the subject of food because he's got everything identified with food, don't you see? He's very interested in it, selling it like mad, attributes everything to food. Well, what's food represent to you? Oh man, he wouldn't even be able to not answer your question! Now, the second that you hit this button you get an automatic release, and you think the pc's thinking something when he's releasing this, but he is not thinking anything when he is releasing this; he's just shoveling it out, man.

And you look it over and you've got this pc in the auditing chair, see? And this pc is good, this pc is kind, this pc is sweet, this pc is that. Well, your ideas of this are rather excited. You say, "Well, it can't be this true," and if you try to pick it up as straight withholds you're going to lay an egg. Because boy they've been good for a long time. Hundreds of years, see, they've been good. And underlying all this will be the exact reverse of something or other, you see?

Now, I can give you an indicator for a nullable list. It comes out with interest and positiveness. So we find another rule - this is a rule: That a list must not be continued that is being invalidated by the pc. Now that is overlisting. There are several symptoms of overlisting. In R2 - 12 you run into the first one and skip it, which is comm lag. Who cares. But it's the beginning of an overlist. We don't care about it, however. You would if you were listing goals, but not with R2 - 12.

They were - they were the person - they were the person who solicited the bribes for the axman from the relatives of the about to be deceased. You know, a gold piece for a good clean stroke. You know, this kind of thing. And then that was the deteriorated end of somebody who made a profession out of getting nobility murdered so they could have their estates given to them, see? You find out on the whole track they've been pretty, pretty interesting.

The second one is: He is groping for the exact name for it. You're now getting near the danger point, but once more we're not interested in this in R2 - 12. This we can force and be all right. The one we can't force is the one the manifestation which immediately follows those other two manifestations. See, it's the cycle of manifestations: You see the pc there, the pc first starts to comm lag, then he starts to get the exact word for it and he hasn't quite got it, and the next line that he goes into is invalidation. If your pc is invalidating items then you are not taking them off the front of the cash register, you're trying to pull them out of the back of the machine or something.

Now, you do find dramatic stuff in the GPM. The overts are with magnitude. But you don't pull them bit by bit, don't you see? They turn up as a whole package. There you got it.

And it just tells you that ... There's no list, the items of which are being invalidated by the pc, will ever prove to be a nullable list. Now, what do we mean by invalidate? Well, it's as faint as this, "waterbuck, well I don't know whether that would do that or not - ah, tiger, no, I don't think a tiger should belong on the list, let's see. It really doesn't seem too real to me that a waterbuck would belong on the list but you say go on listing, so all right, game warden, game warden, game warden, you can put it on the list, I guess."

And we've been disappointed for so long - been disappointed for so long - in looking for something gargantuan out of the pc on a Security Check or something like that, that we may have gone into apathy about this point. And we shouldn't because your reliable items, as you pair them up and keep going, why the blood starts flicking out of both sides of the E - Meter after a while, you know, because they inherited the GPM quite honestly.

Any such manifestation as that is leading to a non - nullable list. If the list is not nullable at the time you get there it might have been nullable and he's now just invalidating. Now you can go back before he started invalidating and take that much of the list and see if it's nullable. But you've sure overlisted. Don't pay any attention to this grope around for the right word, don't pay any attention to the comm. lags. We are getting very esoteric. You can pay attention to those when listing goals but not in R2 - 12, see, it's getting too esoteric.

And the reason they're trying to make much out of it or more out of it, they're trying to match up with what's in the GPM, don't you see? The GPM restimulates them to believe that they have done something, but they can't put their finger on it. Well, it's in the GPM. There's drama in that mess. But frankly it isn't drama which happened over the last two or three hundred years.

The pc is indifferently in - session; this or that or the other thing's going wrong. You can't be that nice. But for sure if the pc is invalidating and being unsure of what item is on, just recognize you're trying to pull them out of the back of the cash register and it's just not going to wind up in the GPM. The most uncertain person in the world when listing from a proper source will be the most certain person you ever saw on listing. So you're looking for this old factor that we used to have over here in England, certainty. You're looking for this factor. Interest, certainty, rock slams - these things are beautiful indicators.

It's been going on for a long, long time. And it's accumulated an awful lot of identities. And to be able to cut into this thing at all and release it as far as it exists in present time as a present time problem, is utterly fantastic. And to think that somebody was - knowing the existence of this - to think that somebody was going to go Clear by sitting and reverently regarding his own navel for a long enough period of time becomes utter asininity. It does!

And a list then is not nullable if it does not produce a rock slam, and a list is also not nullable if it is being delivered with great uncertainty by the pc. So the big factors that you look for are no rock slam and uncertainty. And then if you're lucky and you got out of bed that morning and you've made your peace properly with the church and a lot of other things, why, you will get a list that will wind up in an item.

Some of the technologies or techniques which have existed on this planet that were supposed to free people, you begin to wonder who the hell was swindling who? Because just try and represent some of these lists some day. Know how much skill it takes to actually strip one of the things down, look at the resulting items, put the thing together, recognize what the mechanics of the thing are and you become stonied. And you say, "Somebody was going to get well by sitting in a chair and saying the number of times he was interfered with as a little boy?" No, couldn't possibly have happened.

But we're actually not terribly fascinated with whether this thing on R2 - 12 winds up with an item or not. I've just given you an example here of how you could cure somebody's back. Well, you get a lot of cases that are below rock slam; you have to audit them quite a while before they rock slam. All you do with such a case is, you just keep assessing. Taking the most you've got, doing your best to get a complete list, you never make a list that is apparently going to result in anything, and they've got no rock slams, pc's interest is, well, it's good in session but out of session it might have collapsed, see. In session they're going, "Pow, pow, pow," and "Bang, bang, bang," and "I've just this," and "Pow and bang, bang," and "Yes, yes, and bowwow - wow, yes, yes, bow, bow, bow, bow," they get out of session and, "I don't get any gains out of this; I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Totally unreal to me."

And for us to get an inroad on this, to even get sight of the GPM ... You realize we would have done enough just to have a description of the GPM, say "This is what's wrong with me," much less tackle it. So actually we're really doing something here which is quite fantastic. Because when the pc starts getting mixed up with this, an auditor has to go steady on sometimes. Pcs actually get pretty upset, sometimes, in handling this because it's very upsetting, very. So it requires an auditor who will complete the job. He's got to go as far as he can go, honestly, before he goes and goes as far as he can go.

See, you can expect some kind of a manifestation like that. You don't care what the manifestation was. You get what I mean? You don't care what the out - of - session manifestation of the pc is ever on R2 - 12. You're only interested in his in - session manifestation. He's sailing, he's interested, he's this, man, you're sailing. So he falls on his head and develops a cornea of the thrombosis and a lumbosis of the cornea and - after the session, who cares? I say you're not interested in out of sessionness, because if you're going on auditing him and you’ve had to quit in the middle of an opposition list, you can expect so e of the - fanciest somatics you ever heard of. All you want to do is complete each cycle to the best of your ability. You understand this? Complete each cycle to the best of your ability. If you're satisfied, that's it.

And there is no room here for an auditor who quits because the pc twitters or because the pc's got a somatic. There is no room here for an auditor who won't complete a cycle of action. He's got to complete a cycle of action to the degree that he can complete it. Or recognize - arriving at a point where you realize that it's a non - nullable list - you did complete the cycle of action. Particularly if you nulled it out long enough to take most of the sen off the pc. You've completed the action that was in progress to the degree that it could be completed. And you should always do that.

Pc can turn on fantastic coldness. The room could be eighty - five degrees and the pc is just shaking to pieces with chill, cold, and you had to end the session and they go around for the next twenty - four hours shivering their nuts and bolts loose, and you give them a fancy goal the next day, bang, folds up, and the list is not a nullable list. I don't care; it ran out this cold. You get what I mean?

Now, R2 - 12 tries to unpin these great big PTPs out of present time. And people are going to say this very interesting thing to you countless times. You're going to get sick of this. I've gotten sick of it already. They're going to say, "But look, the pcs gives the list that goes backtrack when you're trying to solve a present time problem."

See, we care nothing about that. We care nothing about actually whether the list was a nullable list or not, we did it and it did something for the pc. We did that and may have tried to the best of our ability to make it a nullable list. We tried to the best of our ability to get an item, but if we did not get an item at any time, this is not reason for auditor suicide, D of P criticism or anything else. You should get that fairly straight because you're going to find pcs that'll go fifteen lists off of List One, fifteen of them without producing a single R/S. And then all of a sudden produce one on the list itself. You find your reliable item was Scientology. You're all set to give up. And the next time you assessed, you just said, "Scientology" and it began to rock slam and then it didn't stop rock slamming either.

One of the reasons I've been giving you this much anatomy of the GPM is simply this: where the hell else is there to go? Somebody must be operating on the basis that this person has had enough sin, crime and overts since he was born in this lifetime to aberrate himself. I assure you that isn't the case. Couldn't be the case.

You see what you're heading for? In the first place you're doing a tremendously therapeutic action. That's the first thing that you've got to drill into the heads of people who are doing R2 - 12.. No matter what you do, if you do it anywhere near right, you've got a therapeutic action which is marvelous. Going to make the pc feel fine. You just keep it up and do it to the best of your ability. Now, that's what we expect of R2 - 12, just what I just said, see. Now, if we also wind up on that represent list with a reliable item that just goes on slamming, and it slams like mad, marvelous, and we take off from that and we do an opposition list and that thing winds up in a ... You see, that's already good that we got a reliable item, that's pretty darn good, you see, that doesn't happen every time you do it but, there it is, see. Gorgeous. All right. And then we take it out on the opposition list and so help me Pete, the exact reliable item shows up on the opposition list that should have been there, and it all packages up and it all goes bzzzz, phump. And the pc says, "Wow!" you know, "Wowwww," see. That's pretty marvelous. He'll feel like he's going Clear and he is, if you kept up that sort of thing.

Some fellows I know have put in some good licks, and some of them find this lifetime as a little, black ball. They've got no track. They can't go back earlier than this. They will have done something there, sometime or another, that already have started or put a wart on one of the main dumbbells. See, you'll find this; you'll find this every once in a while, not rare. But for one to have formed a whole sphere, a whole black mass in one lifetime? Oh no, not possible.

Now, how often should you expect to get both items? Well, this is a factor which is monitored by the accuracy of the auditor. The accuracy of the auditor. An auditor who makes an inaccurate - inaccurate assessments, who doesn't have his pc in - session, who is making mistakes - I mean, making mistakes in his session form, and he's Q - and - Aing and he's doing things, he's got the pc on protest. The pc thinks of a lot of items but doesn't put them on the list and the auditor never finds out that the pc was thinking of and suppressing items. That's pretty corny.

Had somebody - say on old 3D Criss Cross one time, "I don't think that I have thought up or found out a new idea for the last million years." He suddenly collided with what was his thinkingness. And all the ideas he had in this lifetime were in that lifetime. Well, if he'd kept on going he'd have found them earlier than that. He hadn't thought of any original ideas for a lot longer than that. It isn't that it's impossible to think of original ideas, but to have original aberrations is pretty far flung.

An auditor should be able to find out things like this without big Qs and As and upsetting the pc. An auditor who does those things is going to find far fewer reliable items and packages than an auditor who is sitting right there on the ball, bangity - bangity - bang. Now, for an auditor who is definitely on the ball and doing everything right and using good judgment and being careful about the thing and doing his stuff accurately and easily and so forth, for that auditor how often - how often should you be dead on the beam? About fifty percent. This is your perfect auditor, because that fifty percent is the pc's bank.

Now, what we want to take a look at here in the GPM is not only that we could clear somebody by continuing to find item versus item, because we could - if we found reliable item versus reliable item and then found another reliable item and got its oppterm and kept going and going and going and going - slow job, but we could clear somebody that way. A point you mustn't overlook.

And the pc's bank has been a crazy quilt for a long time, wadded up and thrown in a dark closet and the things that start to lead in from A to B actually go from A to Z, and it - everything looks exactly as though this course from C to D - you couldn't miss on this course, and you suddenly find yourself at R or G. Now why is that? That's the A =====A = A===== A factor which we'll talk about a little more later. So if you're batting 50 percent, in other words, half of the represent lists you do wind up with a reliable item - and that means, that means you're a pretty doggone good auditor - and if 50 percent of the opposition lists which you do after you got the first thing wind up with a reliable item and therefore you wind up with a package, man, you're a gee - whizzer from a way back. You're good'. You're good. But what should be your expectancy about that?

You're walking down the rock slam road. Person eventually, you get about - oh, I don't know - you get twenty, thirty pairs and this person is saying, "Well, here's my goal." You couldn't go any further than that without him giving your goal. I mean he'd just say, "Well, that's my goal." Well, of course you can use the goal to find reliable items easier than you can use arbitrary lines. And you just go on with the same thing. I mean, you just could go on using his goal as the source of lines in all cases. But now you would be into 3 - 21. You'd have shifted gears over to 3 - 21, bypassing 3 - 21 Step 4. See, that's where you'd be.

Now what about what about the guy who's terrible? You know, he picks up the meter and you're there as the Instructor running the co - audit or whatever it is being run in, you don't know whether you ought to let him pick it up or not, you know, because he's sort of picked it up like this, you know. Well, about 10 percent of the time he will wind up with a reliable item. He had to make enough mistakes to equalize it out, about 10 percent of the time he'll wind up with a reliable item, and about 10 percent of the oppositions he does will wind up with a reliable item and somebody sooner or later will have to straighten out the case. But the odd part is - but the odd part of it all is, the case will feel better and be making gains. That's why it's a safe process and that's why it's been released to the HCA/HPA level of auditing.

So, 2 - 12 cuts into Routine 3 - 21 at a place which is determined by the extent that 2 - 12 is run. The more 2 - 12 is run the lower it cuts into 3 - 21. 1 mean, if you just undid the present time problems of the pc, snap - snap, and got a couple of reliable items and they paired up and so forth, and you find the pc's tone arm now moves and a lot of other things occur that's highly beneficial, then you would cut into a Prepcheck and then you would cut into a goals list and you could go right on with 3 - 21.

Now, of course you guys who know your business and who can audit and that sort of thing, why I expect 50 percent. See, I expect 50 percent just like that. I mean, you should be able to deal that out pretty good, without too much trouble. Except on pcs who are obviously so dug in that a tremendous amount of action of representing has to be done before they can tell the auditor from the pc. You'd be surprised, but these people don't even know they're in an auditing session. And you do enough represent on them they eventually differentiate, and they say, "Ohhh, I'm over here and he's over there and ohhh, what do you know."

See, in other words we straighten it out so the case would get a rapid gain. Just got rid of the present time problem and so forth. We move right over into top of 3 - 21.

On such a pc, well, I might forgive you and give you - let you drop to 45 percent. Now, that's about the way a nullable list goes. That's actually the key data of nullable lists. Then when you look over the lecture, your notes, I think you will find there are not too many oddball variables along this line, that they're fairly easily assimilable. Now, if any more data turns up which are - which make rules out of anything, I'll sure be the first to let you know.

All right, or let's supposing now, that we went ahead with problem 2 - 12 and we got six items. That's three packages, one kind or another. These are all pretty surface packages. Well, we've already done at least one package that could be used in Step 4A, 3GA Criss Cross of Routine 3 - 21. So we take one of those oppterms, the - one of those advanced oppterms - and we just list goals 1 to - list goals list 1 to 10. Usually it would simply be 1 and 6 of the old goals list of 3GA Criss Cross. We list it against that beefiest oppterm and we turn up with the pc's goal. And then we would carry on from there.

Thank you.

But if a case were even rougher and harder and we didn't succeed at that ... Well, actually, you would go into 3GA Criss Cross from that point there on, just getting more items. Quite a similar operation but you would be using the Prehav Scale with which to do that.

And a little more succinctly, supposing we did 2 - 12, and boy, we really had this case flying. We had found a dozen items, six pairs, and they were nice reliable items and the case was really flying and everything was swell and here we go. That would be about the earliest you could expect the pc to be laying his goal on the desk. There's - you've bypassed assessment. You've arrived at Step 5 without ever finding the pc's goal because he gave it to you. You go very much further with 2 - 12 and you're going to start getting the goal whether you would it or not it. Pc will tell you what it is.

Well, now, some pcs are so stacked up and identified and so much into the bank and so forth, that it might take many more pairs than that before the pc gives you his or her goal. But averagely along somewhere around a dozen items, reliable items and so forth, why pc's speculating - even raw meat will start speculating - and very often just hand you his goal and checks out bang, bang.

Now, this then could be carried to a ne plus ultra. Let's supposing we completely neglected the pc's goal. Let's supposing we never gave the pc a break. Every time the pc has hazarded on the goal we acknowledged him very politely. And we didn't do anything with the goal at all. And we kept on finding items that paired with items, and so on, and we just kept on finding. We'll eventually get the Rock and opprock on the first goal. And the pc then would blow the rest of the bank and go free just by the recognition that is his goal with total reality. Don't you see?

Now, which is the best one of those things to do? Well, you just do what you do. There is no best one of those things. You don't necessarily - you wouldn't see eye to eye with sitting there on your hands while the pc gave you his goal. And you certainly wouldn't drive a pc halfway round the bend - but he says, "My goal is to catch catfish."

And you say, "Well fine. Now, we're going to list another Prehav Scale here. We're going to see if we can't get a couple more items. I think you've got a problem in present time. And we've only found twenty - two pairs, and so forth, and . . ."

"But - but this is just - just - my goal is to catch catfish!" see.

He won't 90 Clear then either because he's now got a protest on his goal and that would effectively stop the whole operation on the same basis that any assessment or anything else would be stopped; the mid ruds are wildly out and they'll be out from then on. And you just wouldn't advance because the pc is out of session. So sooner or later the practicality of 2 - 12 ceases because the goal is being laid in your lap.

Now, that give you some kind of an idea of its uses?

Audience: Yes.

All right. Your next point of examination here, that might be of considerable interest to you, is that 2 - 12 is usable as an assist. Now, there's one process which is senior to and superior to 2 - 12 or 3 - 21 - although it is part of 3 - 21. There's one process that is superior to it, and outranks it when these conditions exist: When the pc has had found or been run on a wrong goal, or you suspect that the condition of the pc evolves from a wrong goal that has been found or run on the pc, you get rid of that wrong goal.

That is senior to any action of 2 - 12. Even if you suspect it - you understand? Because the pc may still be in some kind of a fog on the subject of "Is it his goal?" and "Isn't it his goal?" and "Does it or doesn't it?" or something like this. And try to bend 2 - 12 over into trying to do something with his goal and he's worried about it.

Well, what's your present time problem there? See, the present time problem is the pc's goal. You're not going to find that with 2 - 12 because a goal is senior to items. So you suspect wrong goal? You run wrong goal. You don't run 2 - 12.

Now, how do you run wrong goal? Well, the rule is that you run it with Big Tiger. And you run a wrong goal with Big Tiger if it's just been found. And you run it with a Prepcheck if it has been found and listed. Those are very easy things to remember in the handling of a wrong goal. If a goal has just been found and nothing much has been done with it and yet the pc thought it was his goal for a while and so forth, why, just Big Tiger slam-bang at it for a while, get rid of it and slick it up. But in actual fact if it's been listed you've got to do a Prepcheck.

Now, that - if a goal has been listed it is senseless to do Big Tiger against it. It isn't just relatively ineffective. It is senseless. It won't move anyplace.

So, now, when you got a pc who has bad auditing as his history - this isn't a question of goals now - when he's got bad auditing (it must be so because he says so), and when the pc is all fouled up ever since that session in which he was run on an engram or ever since that session, etc., etc., or ever since the first Foundation when, etc., etc. - R2 - 12. We don't care how much bad auditing he's had; R2 - 12 will handle it. This is one of the things that gives this an importance: is despite the fact that it won't handle a wrong goal, which it won't, it'll handle every other breed of auditing there is.

And the reason for that was - because I don't care if the auditing was good auditing or bad auditing or any other kind of auditing and the fellow felt loused up about it - an item was loused up, not the pc. An item was loused up. It was the item that ARC broke, not the pc, you understand? It was the item which was getting its engrams run, not the pc. See? You see why this is then?

Goals are senior to items and items are senior to every other kind of auditing we've ever had. So that gives you your seniorities of use.

Now, because everything is A=A=A=A, this can be used as an assist as its lightest action as goofily as, "What illness of yours have you been interested in?" This is just crazy, see.

"My lumbosis."

"All right. Who or what does lumbosis represent to you?" Unwritten list, unnulled, anything else, see. That's a meterless assist using the principles of 2 - 12.

1 want you to recognize that 2 - 12 has certain principles connected with it, don't you see? That's why I gave you that assist. Not so you will use that assist but so you will get the idea of what you're doing on it. Well how come? Well, the pc must have been interested in it so it must be identified like mad. He must have an A=A=A. If he's got a psychosomatic illness he must have the past in present time. Therefore an instantaneousness is in connection with it. See, the present time is the past time. Therefore it must have some impingement on the GPM because it has an instantaneousness; isn't in a proper position on the time track. Must be held there by some instantaneousness. What's he doing making a mistake like this? What's he doing with a scar? That's an interesting question isn't it?

A=A=A, and the first "identification of" is where you put time instead of A. In other words time equals time equals time. What's he doing with an engram in restimulation? Well, if he's got an engram in restimulation and it stays in restimulation - it doesn't go out of restimulation - then one tag end of that engram must be headed into the GPM. Otherwise it couldn't be in restimulation forever.

Those engrams which don't fade out in from three to ten days after being contacted, run, butchered, bad session, anything else you want to call it, didn't key out because of the GPM. Somebody got ahold of a piece of the GPM and tried to erase it. Any other engram would have disappeared.

Supposing you have an automobile accident and this brings you back and all of a sudden you've got a mysterious backache. Well, from three to ten days if you've still got a mysterious backache and it doesn't disappear, then that automobile accident must have keyed in the GPM. If you easily got well and don't have a backache three to ten days later, of course it wasn't part of the GPM. You see how you separate the sheeps from the goats.

So all right, now let's get a more practical assist. Let's look over the chronic somatics of this individual. Chronic. Chronic, man, that have been going on and on and on and on and on. It is timelessness we are looking for.

"Ever since I was a little boy I've had this tic." See, it's an indicator, see? Must be hooked into the GPM. Must be, otherwise it would have - whatever happened to him - would have disappeared in from three to ten days. He's still got it, some kind of a psychosomatic something or other. Therefore it must be hooked into the GPM.

A little kid contracts some sort of a habit. This habit has been going on for years. Spits at everybody. Nobody can cure him of spitting at anybody. Part of the GPM, man. I'm not kidding about that, I mean it is. It just is part of the GPM. And the GPM can never be educated out of anybody. Can't be done. What no society has been able to cure anybody of is part of the GPM. That you can make up your mind about.

All right. This fellow stole a bag of groceries and went to jail for eighteen months. And he's come out and he's been straight ever since. Well, it happens to people. Nothing to do with the GPM.

This fellow stole a bag of groceries, went to jail for a year, came out of jail, stole a bag of groceries, went to jail for eighteen months. Got out of jail, stole a bag of groceries. And we have the common order of action which occurs in our modern societies, which is considerably interesting, the repetitive character of criminality. The two - timers and that sort of thing. These birds didn't become criminals in this lifetime. They've been like that for a long time.

And let me tell you, the State, cops, hobbyists, prisons, psychologists - none of these things are going to cure any part of it.

And let me tell you that you'll wind up just as much criminals in this lifetime, next lifetime, next lifetime, next lifetime as you ever want. This is what breaks the heart of the do - gooder; this repetitive action.

Of course they have some wins. They have the guy that's had a bad break. And the identity which he seems to have because of this bad break isn't part of the GPM. It passes away and it keys out and that's it. So they've had a break, they actually helped this guy out, see. So they know they helped him out. And it straightened him out and everything is fine. So they're led on. They're given a win. They get stuck with a win.

Next guy they picked up is straight in the middle of the identity of the GPM, man. He knows what stores are for, to put in trucks at night. And you could help this guy out. And you could help this guy out. And you could help this guy out and it's just the same cycles would happen again and again and again. You cannot educate the GPM out of anybody.

Now, some of the processes we have, when properly used, oddly enough are capable of keying it out, which is a fantastic attestation to the power of Dianetic and Scientology techniques as they've existed in the last dozen years. I'm overawed. We actually have been able to key out this confounded thing without direct attack at all.

The interesting thing is, is our first - goal Clears, MEST Clears that have sprung up from time to time along the track. That these people can be made at all is fantastic because we had no process that could take apart the GPM, which I think is quite interesting. Some of these characters are still having a marvelous run of it.

But because A=A=A, both in time - we should look at the other three factors of the GPM: matter, energy and space. Now, those three things are also in the GPM. And probably the GPM has mass simply because time becomes nothing and the energy and so forth isn't yet nothing.

This adds up in very interesting mathematical proposition. It'd take Einstein to wrap his wits around how exactly this would occur. You see, if time were actually zero, if time were actually zero, then there would be no matter, there'd be no energy and possibly no space.

So it's an apparency of zero that we are handling in the A =====A===== A. So although there's an apparency of no matter, there is mass. Although there's apparency of no energy, there is energy. Although there's apparency of no space, there is space. And there's apparency of no time, there is yet time.

So, you find matter, energy, space and time are in this GPM. Now, the moment that you restore any differentiation, no matter if it's just from identity to slight similarity or, you know, it isn't quite exact anymore. Apple A doesn't equal apple B. Person vaguely sees there might be a little bit of difference between apple A and apple B. And if that's the case, heh! It's interesting but you get more matter, more energy and more space because you've got more time.

So this fellow's sitting there saying, "There are no black masses." And the second that you establish a similarity, they seem to materialize from nowhere. And there's many a dub - in case is going to be very upset with 2 - 12. And it's true what auditors over in England used to observe, that a case very often goes black before it goes back to pictures again.

Well, here's this case with all kinds of dub - in pictures like crazy and everything is fine and they dub, dub, dub, dub. And all of a sudden it all goes black. And then all goes white and then all goes this and all goes that. You see what's happening here. As you add differentiation you get more mass apparent - greater apparency of mass then takes place. Stuff ceases to read exactly and instantly on the E - Meter.

You'll see a goal do this. The goal is the thing which actually drifts on the track harder than an item. And you'll see the goal as it's being three-quarters run out will all of a sudden begin to read early and late and on and then very early and then very late and then on. And you won't quite know what the devil this goal is all about.

Now, smooth auditing is absolutely required in the handling of the GPM, otherwise the individual's ability to confront the matter, energy, space and time which is increasing in his bank is not invited, but repressed. And so the individual would tend to hang fire if he were being beat up at the same time he was being audited. In other words, auditing could take the place of a present time problem.

There'll be some cases that will hang up. They'll see things will - all of a sudden are going to become tougher for them. They're being asked to confront more pain than they care to confront. They're being asked this. They're being asked that. And they all of a sudden try to turn off the reality that has been turning on. And all cases go over a sort of a rolly coaster. It keeps getting better and better; their confront keeps getting better and better, but it sometimes will get worser - momentarily get worser. They'll come into session and they would rather be whipped than list another single goddamn line on that blankety - blank plot.

Why? It's getting tough. The more they list, the more matter, energy, space and time is materializing. Of course time permits them to escape from the pressure of it. It was probably the only thing that makes the process work at all; it's because time becomes less identified and therefore the pc isn't being subjected to all the matter, all the energy and all the space that is there incipiently in the bank ready to tear him apart.

But sometimes your pc will be sitting there with a blinding ball of fire heading straight for him. And the next thing you know he's sitting there very calmly. He's just slid himself down scale, hard. He's ducked. He's done a bunk. You can still dig it out, but every once in a - it requires no special action. That's just the kind of rolly coaster action he takes. He just didn't feel like having his head knocked off with a meteor that day, see? Because there is no meteor. It is only the mental image picture of a meteor which burned out a trillion years ago. It's just because this bank was opening up and it's what this valence was knocked off by. You've gotten to the death moment of a valence or something like that. And he dramatizes the valence and does a bunk. You've still moved on the time track but he still made it less visible. He's still gone less confront on it. Don't you see?

So if we use this on any kind of an assist, we are increasing the pc's ability to differentiate. And our bacon is served because he's also differentiating moments of time and this gives him more time to go into than he had before. And so he is now capable of being there or not being there as the case may be.

There is still this factor of increasing ability to confront which must be handled in 2 - 12. And the only way that it is handled is just give the pc good sessions and don't hit him over the head every time he has a win, and his confront will keep coming on up.

There are many pcs will have to go on and on and on and on and on before they get a win. Because they open that eye just a little bit and they decide they'd better not look today.

You can do a half a dozen, ten lists from List One without a rock slam on any one of them. The list getting more and more alive before you finally have a rock slam. That's very extreme, but that can happen. Right now you have some statistics: sixteen out of twenty - five people on this R2 - 12 are successful with either items found or listing on lists which are producing rock slams.

Error: One auditor had three items in with rock slams after nulling a list and didn't put the package or anything together as the R/S went and disappeared. Well, of course, the package slithered together, somehow or another. He simply should have put it together.

We have four out of five cases listing on items who have been listing on 2 - 12 who have found no R/S as yet. That's four of the five cases mentioned here. But that is actually four out of twenty - five or one - eighth in the first few hours of doing 2 - 12 have yet to turn on a rock slam. Those cases are benefiting, however. And two cases have such a dirty needle or stuck needle that no assessment has occurred since a dead horse was listed on each.

Well, naturally, that's a mid ruds situation on that particular list. That could be cleaned up like a bomb. Or the list could be further run or you listed a little bit further. Something like that could happen so as to take the charge of the thing off.

The summary on it is R2 - 12 is a great success as even those who have had no R/S are making gains with the exception of one pc who is making gains in session, but out of session is not.

Now, the - in other words, with minimal checkout, with minimal action in training - and disallowing for the fact that the auditors here are pretty good auditors - you haven't got a bunch of loses on your hands. You haven't even had all the gen, you haven't been checked out on the gen and that sort of thing; you're still winning on the thing.

With a little bit of experience you find out how to really fly with this thing because most of your time is wasted on dead horses. The auditing - the amount of time the auditing takes in relationship to the amount of time wasted by dead horses and so on, you'll find quite disproportionate. But all of a sudden you will be able to get these things into better focus.

Now, from where I sit, why, we've got some cases cracking right now on R2 - 12 that have been on everything else in the shop, even 3GA Criss Cross. And you say, "Well, how can a case benefit from R2 - 12 that was not - when it wasn't benefiting on 3GA Criss Cross?" Well, R2 - 12 has this listing, is auditing, it's listing directly from something which is giving the pc an awful present time problem. And it's actually easing up the pc's present time problem and the pc is starting to make a gain for the first time.

In other words, it's attacking the present time environment of the pc, which of course 3GA Criss Cross doesn't even pretend to do.

So there is where we sit with this particular technology and I wish you very well with it.

Thank you very much.
