Objective Processing1
THERE HAVE RECENTLY been a series of articles on Objective Processing,
showing various processes, the results, (or no results), and uses. Rather
than give you yet another list of processes, and/or a list of successes with
any or all of those, let us start with the rationale first. I have said many
times, and reiterate here, that it is regrettable that latter-trained
auditors have been heavily trained on the mechanics the processes, the
commands, and a 'boiler plate' end phenomenon, yet have often a poor
understanding of the theory, or rationale that brought these into being.
Actually, Objective processing goes way back in history, and in different
cultures. Probably in its oldest form is the Australian Aboriginal
"Walkabout" where the aborigine in the "outback" (bush) simply walked away
until things were better.
According to the Bible, Jesus went similarly into the wilderness.
Discussing this aspect of therapy with Ron one day, he suggested that a
mental home might work well if it were on a hill and that there was a big
rock on the grounds, where people could walk up the hill, sit on a bench,
and look at the rock. The idea being that when the mind is in turmoil, it
needs solidity and stability as in still (not stopped).
Another factor of the activity of the mind is that it can operate on the
level of Concept, Pictures, Terminals, Lines, and Solids (see 8-80 and
8-8008 for lists and details).
Origin of Tone Scale
As a person becomes more enturbulated, he has around him more and more
random and unhandleable Motion.
This by the way is the basis of the Tone Scale. Each level being the persons
reaction and handling of Motion... Energy/Motion... E-Motion.
1 This is no. 13 in the Objectives series. Ed.
Stress handling
A person under stress will not respond to a therapy that requires a lot of
thinking. Creating thoughts, pictures etc. all are motion within the mind
and thinkingness of that individual.
Under such conditions we can enter the case at a 'lower' level, Terminals,
Lines, Solids.
"Look at that Wall", "Feel the floor beneath your feet", "pick up that
object, what is its weight, temperature, color" etc, all are processes that
deal with Solids, and have great therapeutic value when correctly applied.
>From these basics, the processes known as 8C and Opening Procedure by
Duplication, Objective Havingness, and even the touch assist were created.
Moving from Solids to Lines, a person can conceive of a communication line
but sometimes not the terminal at the other end (or even himself at the
receiving end), a condition some therapies refer to as 'disassociation'.
Procedures known as SCS ("Start, Change, Stop") either on the person, or on
an object controlled by the person, handle this and get the person back into
an understanding of Control.
Please don't start out a therapy at this level using an automobile... it is
lack of this skill that is the basic of all auto accidents (joke!)... plus
the fact that often the accident comes about because the person didn't see
the Bus... a matter of Terminals and Lines. I once witnessed an accident
where a car ran right over the top of another. I asked the driver what
happened, and she stated "The car wouldn't stop - it just wouldn't stop."
When I had calmed her down I quietly suggested that cars do not stop... You
have to stop them. If you don't, then usually the physical universe will!
She line-charged at this, a real cognition, and felt much better.
Want a miracle?
Just as Subjective processing can handle physical unwanted conditions, so
too can Objective processing handle unwanted Thinkingness conditions. The
being may well be a static and spiritual in makeup, but as a person, he/she
is, hopefully, interacting with the physical universe in and around the
environment. When this interaction is non-optimum then all the engram
running and OT exercises will not touch the case, but Objective processes
run well, will produce miracles.
As I said, I am not about to give a list of all the Objective processes that
exist in true and tried form. Using such with no basic understanding of
their purpose is an exercise in futility.
However gaining an understanding of the purpose and direction of Objectives,
followed by a reading of Route 2, in Creation of Human Ability, will give
you all the objective processes you will ever need, and the skill to use
them wisely.
Don't grind
Finally, a word about "grinding" (the action of continuing a process with no
reality on either the pc's part, or in some cases, the Auditor's part).
Before starting a process (except an Assist), ALWAYS clear with the person
what you are going to do, give them a general description of the process,
and whether you will answer any questions or comments. Remember that a
comment should be acknowledged but not acted upon. An Origination is handled
and the PC returned to the process. Re-read TR4 if you have any doubts about
this.
In any event, with the exception of Opening Procedure by Duplication, often
referred to as Book and Bottle, you do not grind away at any of the CCH's,
you run a battery of them, running each one until there is a flat point.
i.e. each command executed correctly three times with no change in
communication lag time, moving then to the next process in the battery.
Numerically then it would go CCH 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 etc. each 1-4 cycle
being shorter, until there is no change, each process command would be given
3 times, with interest but no change developed.
Just as a thought, how about running objectives, objectively, on a thetan?
Hmmmm?
