Hi Leon,
What's keeping the mass in place is the degree of "importance"
attributed to that mass. What one needs to ascertain is not so much the
prior postulate but the degree of "importance" one attached to it.
The consideration that the underlying, past postulate must be addressed
will lead to the "long night of the soul" which is what Dennis suggests
Hubbard did in his Reminiscences of Ron.
TROM quote:
((((That which is considered important tends to persist and to become
more solid. Solidity and persistence - need for - are thus the basic
conviction phenomena in games. Things are made more solid and more
persistent to convince others of their existence. The mechanism is
entirely reversible: that which is persisting and solid is tended to be
regarded as important.
Any importance is relative to, and can be evaluated against, any other
importance. There is no absolute importance. Thus, what the being
considers important is relative to the being and the games he is playing.
Thus, any field of knowledge which postulates an absolute importance is
at variance with natural law. ( The search for deeper significance into
life or the mind is only the search for prior or greater importance. In
that all importance is relative to all other importance it is both a
fruitless and endless search. Various past researchers in this field
have claimed to have discovered basic importances of a more or less
absolute nature ( 'sex', 'survival', etc. ) and then proceeded to
develop a therapy based
upon their discovery. We can now see clearly why they failed. The
"button" is importance. Having now found it we can stop looking for it. ))))

Well, yes and no to this, IMHO.
I'm sure Dennis is right in so far as the mass will destimulate to a
great degree, but bear in mind that what is keeping such a mass in
place is not merely the idea that one needs to regard it as being
"trivial". The entire thrust of Hubbard's approach on this is that
the mass is held in place by an underlying postulate which is very
specific to the time and place of the incident and also to the goals
of the person involved.
By doing what is suggested by Dennis here is really to counter one
earlier postulate with a later one. So I don't think it is the best
approach to this sort of thing. It would be better to expose the
original postulate and then recognise it for what it was.
cheers

Well, in prepping for doing Level 5 by reading and re-reading over
and over again, I came across this truth by Dennis.
"The entire secret of making any mental mass vanish is to re-evaluate
its importance to present time realities to the point where it is
considered so trivial that there is no longer any need to keep it in
existence; at which moment the mass can be easily not-known and will
promptly vanish. [On the other hand, ]While the mass is considered
important, it will continue in existence and the being will continue
to know it - even though trying desperately to not-know it.
To try and vanish by means of force a mass while still holding the
consideration that it is important is thus the height of stupidity
and can only lead to frustration and failure.
Thus we see that the re-evaluation of past importances is the only
step required to achieve the vanishment of any mental mass. As a
successful psychotherapy can be defined as a system that brings about
the vanishment of unwanted mental conditions, we see that this data
is vital to our goal.
The ability to assign and un-assign importances, while native to the
being, will be found to require some attention on the route out."
For ease of reading I have interjected the phrase found in brackets,
i.e. [...].
