6307C17 SHSpec-286 Dating

     "Accuracy in dating is the single most important function of the
auditor." Since last October, LRH has been studying something with intensity.
It took the preceding couple of years to determine that goals and related
mental phenomena come down to engrams and the time track.  The difficulty with
running engrams from 1950 on was the number of cases that couldn't run the
time track.  Years were spent on improving cases.  In October, the time track
assumed greater importance, up to the point where LRH discovered that the GPM
was an implant.

     At that point, we had to discover whether or not a person could go clear
without running the time track and engrams.  There had already been a lot of
failures with getting people to run on the time track.  LRH has always
operated on the assumption that everyone could make it to OT.  A few weeks ago
he had to consider whether only fifty percent could go on to OT.  This was a
serious question, which he had never before wondered about.  Research since
October has been very rough.  It has had to be done more rapidly, because it
was obvious that we didn't have much time left, as proven by the January FDA
raid.  That was one reason that LRH decided to bypass clear and go for OT.

     Clear is an an aberrated, comfortable human state which society can
accept.  OT is something else.  It is like making a "playground supervisor"
vs. a "commando".  With the government attack on scientology, we had no time
margin to let us take care of clear first, then go for OT.  So we are into
research concerning how to make an OT.  When you accelerate research, you get
problems, because you have taken time out where you need time.  In the last few months, the work LRH has done per unit of time exceeds anything previously attempted. The fact that "if you can't run the time track, you'll never get to OT" emerged.  However, what also emerged was that with R3R, if you get the right
chain with the right date and duration, you can get anyone to run with sonic
and visio.  That wasn't a solution unless the PC also got TA action.

     TA action is the key to all case progress, because it measures charge
blown, hence improved reality and better ability to confront the track.  The
PC's reality must improve, or he can't go any earlier on the track.  If you
process someone without TA, you would be doing him more good by taking him for
a walk in the park.  "TA motion tells you how much mass you are discharging
off the reactive bank." Where TA is not moving, you are not discharging mass.
You can tell in the records that this is happening by observing that the same
goals are being set for every session, and the PC is getting only lukewarm
gains.  That co-ordinates with no TA action.  That was what caused LRH to
wonder if fifty percent would never make it to OT.

     There was the thin hope that, by running lower level processes, you could
get enough charge off so that the PC could run track with TA.  It was a pretty
frail hope.  Doing this could produce keyed-out clears, but that is not good
enough.  The world is going down fast, and no new solutions are appearing to
handle crises.  We are the only new factor in the world.  In order to meet the
present situation, the scientologist in the U.S. will have to produce at least
spectacular case results or a spectacular being.

     The problem now is: what is absence of TA?  "TA action disappears off a
case to the degree that time is in error." And there is the answer.  TA "does
not cease because you have run a wrong goal," or from ARC breaks, or a failure
to run a GPM.  It is because of wrong time.  "Time is the single source of
human aberration." This datum now emerges as a more important truth than we
had realized.  "The GPM is totally devoted to scrambling someone's time." So
if you can't get the GPM's off the case, you can't unaberrate him.  GPM's are
hard to date, but they must be gotten off the case.

     GPM's have a characteristic sound.  There is a slow statement of the
goal; in earlier GPM's, this was preceded by a "Crack!" So they sounded like
this, "Spat! ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss ... Spat! ... Non - sen - si - cal - ly ...
Spat!" Part of the aberrative factor is the PC's effort to speed it up, to get
it to run at a speed that he is comfortable with.  He is speedy.  Sometimes
people can't get rocket reads off of items because they don't duplicate the
speed of the items.  They go very slowly, the the thetan thinks, "why doesn't
it get over with?"

     The double-firing principle of GPM's also messed up the thetan and hung
him up in time.  It gave a positive or negative charge to two opposing
sentiments.  It hit him from the right and from the left.  It made him feel as
though he couldn't move but had to move to get out of the way of it.  He would
also get into a time-scrambler.  The total purpose of the GPM was to scramble
time.  GPM engrams are the hardest engrams to date.

     A PC can't scan through a GPM.  You have to use repeater technique,
because if you try to scan through it, it all goes black, because the PC
protested it all the way through.  In running it, you rekindle the protest he
had when he got the implant.  That turns the engram black.  Then you can't see
anything in it, and he can't move on the track, and he is all frozen up in the
thing.

     The only thing that stops TA action is wrong dates, wrong time.  And no
TA action equals no processing.  The perfection of your auditing alone won't
solve this.  So dating accurately is necessary to get TA action.  This doesn't
mean dating down to the last microsecond.  Your errors are the gross ones,
e.g. dating something at 945 years ago, and it is really 145 trillion years
ago.  Very approximate dates back in the trillions of trillions of years ago
is vastly sloppy, but it is successful enough to get TA.

     To straighten out a case where the TA has ceased, you clean up "On time,
in auditing" or "On dating", with an eighteen-button prepcheck.  You should
also clean "Wrong dates" and "wrong time" as long as the needle is rough on
the subject.  This could in or out of auditing.  You handle by:

     1. Finding when the wrong dates were found: times when things were
        wrongly dated.  You don't, at first, redate these things.

     2. When that is all cleaned up, run down what was wrongly dated and clean
        it up with the PC, even if you have to redate it.

You will see TA action restored to the case.  You want wrong dates that the PC
guessed at or assumed earlier in auditing.  You continue to clean up the area
until the needle is really clean and all the wrongness and upset has been
cleared out of the way.  Now the PC will date easily.  Someone who is an
auditor will also need the wrong dates that he has found on PC's and his
anxiety on the subject all cleaned up, too.

     If you got the right date and right duration, you will get perception.
If the incident has a GPM in it, the perception goes off because you have
restimulated the PC's protest.  Dub-in itself is simply a phenomenon of wrong
dates.  You could produce the effect of dub-in by deliberately giving the PC a
wrong date and wrong duration and sending him to the wrong point on the
track.  Then you will get a collection of apparently dubbed-in pictures and no
TA.

     Wrong items are tough on a PC.  Wrong line plots are a result of wrong
time.  Sometimes you will flatten a chain, and the TA will go up.  This has
something to do with wrong dates more deeply seated in the case than you can
overcome without reassessment.  The PC has overstepped his own reality.

     If the PC has trouble whenever he goes on the backtrack, because it is
all unreal and he can't believe it, what is his wrong date?  It is the notion
that life began at birth.  His error on time is on the length of the time
track.  This is a trap mechanism.  Clean up all his considerations on the
subject, and his ability to run track will change.  Look at the entrapment
value of this limited-track business and see how much fuss current society's
savants make about past lives!  No one protests against truth unless they have
a vested interest in maintaining a lie.

     Every PC tends to get their track tolerance extended as they find correct
dates in the portion of the track that they can run fairly easily.  Any case
will hit a ceiling of reality on the subject of dating, but people only creak
to the degree that there is wrong time.

     A wrong date can sneak in on you without your doing any dating.  For
instance, you assume that a certain GPM is in the Helatrobus implant, when it
is really a goal that is much closer to PT.  By running it with the Helatrobus
line plot, you have incorrectly dated it.

     Never leave a wrong goal, or, even more importantly, a wrong date on a
case.  If the case has been run on R3R and TA action is doubtful, clean up
wrong dates and all possible charge on the subject of dates, dating, etc.  If
a case is getting TA action, don't harass the PC about it, but if there are
ARC breaks, look into wrong time, always.  Also look into wrong assessment.

     Some cases are very nervy about time and wrong dates.  They can hardly
take it if you make a small error on a date.  Getting all the dates
straightened out will improve this case, even if nothing is run.  Don't
invalidate the PC by checking all his dates.  Do it periodically, just
checking for wrong dates every now and then, in session.  Date things in terms
on "years ago", since the PC has been on other planets with dating systems
that are different from Earth's AD and BC.

     The "wrong date" phenomena extend to other parts of auditing.  For
instance, the PC may be doing an objective process, walking through the room,
through facsimiles of Maypoles.  Merely in the act of doing that, the PC gets
reality on the room and gets the PC date, which straightens out the track to
that extent.  You could date the facsimiles, whenever the PC hits one and then
return the PC to walking around the room.  You could probably take a case that
couldn't remember half of this lifetime and accurately date things.  This
would give him tremendous reality on things that he had never remembered
before.
