Sanskaras would be equivalent (more or less) with engrams (time of pain and some degree of unconsciousness) in Dianetics; at least the "heavier" imprints. In Dianetics, one would not have to "relive" all such imprints to become "Clear." The collapse of the Reactive Bank (that portion of the mind that works on a totally stimulus-response basis) can occur rather quickly - like even in a session or two, although that would be rare. If TM dissolves such imprints, one would experience, IMO, the emotion that is contained there (eg. anger, fear, apathy). The difference is that in Dianetics, one relives the experience, reexperiencing the emotion but in continuing to relive it, comes up the emotional "tone scale" until he is cheerful about it. At this point the "reactive" effect of that imprint is gone. One then operates more under one's own volitional control. According to Dianetics, when something in your environment is similar to information stored in the engram, the emotion, unconsciousness or pain will be restimulated and will be to some degree reexperienced (dramatized). As this is usually on the sub conscious level, one picks out something in the current environment to "blame" the unwanted feelings on. This is similar to Judy's idea (or MMY's) that as the stress is released in TM, one will have a thought that reflects the "quality" of that imprint, rather than the actual content of the stress being released.
