6308C29 SHSpec-300 The TA and the Service Facsimile

     If you cannot make a keyed-out clear with a prepcheck in 25 hours or
less, the PC is operating on a service facsimile.  This is startling but
elementary.  A prepcheck fits in with the itsa line very closely.  The 18
buttons are hot.  They give the key itsas of the case.  If they are not
working, you have a service facsimile on your hands.  In doing a prepcheck, it
is assumed that you are using a time-limiter in order to keep the amount of
restimulation under control.  If you don't control the itsa line, the PC will
restimulate more charge than you can get as-ised.  The time limiter you use
can be by subject or location, as well as by date.

     A PC answering prepcheck questions is giving you key itsas.  If a
prepcheck is done for this lifetime, you should get a keyed-out clear, per the
Book 1 definition of clear.  [See DMSMH, pp. 8-17; 770-17]  Clearing in this
way is destimulation by knocking out the points where restimulation took
place, making incidents inert.  An inert incident can be restimulated,
however.

     Degree of restimulation is not important to state of case; neither is the
condition of being restimulated.  But there is a state of case with respect to
restimulation.  All cases are restimulated to some degree, but some are
over-restimulated.  A case that is over-restimulated will not discharge the
restimulation by ordinary means, because discharge has somehow been
prevented.  This condition is important; it is getting ahold of too much and
not discharging it.  A uncontrolled itsa line can cause over-restimulation.
An incident that is discharged has been relieved of charge, so that it can no
longer be restimulated.  Restimulation can be let off without the incident
that was restimulated being discharged.  It can simply be destimulated.  So, with a bank, you can either destimulate it by knocking out the key-ins of the original charge, or you can discharge it by running it.  A discharge is a flowing off of charge.  When an incident is discharged, it is gone, and it is no longer capable of being restimulated.

     Let us assume that the reactive mind consists mainly of inert incidents.
If they would just stay quiet, you would never have to clear anybody.
However, the PC's attention can be directed at the incident, by life,
auditing, or the PC himself, at which point the incident converts the PC's
attention to restimulation, over which he has no control.  If the PC's
attention goes to the incident so as to have understanding and confront, you
will see TA motion, and the incident can be discharged, or erased.  On the
other hand, if the PC's attention flicks over the incident, giving a key-in,
you can knock out the moment of key-in by having him look at it, and it will
destimulate again, i.e. it will key out.  Bank is inert until life or auditing
causes the PC's attention to go onto a portion of it.  The PC's attention is
the actual source of charge.

     An 18-button prepcheck should key out anything that keyed in.  It can
destimulate somebody to the state of clear.  So you don't have to make a clear
to make an OT.  You only have to make a key-out clear.

     The state of case of the PC is directly represented and analyzed by the
tone arm, and the free needle.  The eight levels of case compare with eight
states of the tone arm and needle.  [See pp.  414-415 for a description of the
eight levels of case.]

   Case Level:  8. Stage 4 needle.

           7. Continuous rock slam.

           6. Stuck needle at clear read (dead thetan).

           5. Low TA.

           4. High TA.

           3. TA moving in the high range.

           2. Good TA through and past clear read.

           1. F/N at clear read.

     When LRH tried to go from destimulated clear to discharged clear, he
found that there was no waystop short of OT.  The condition you've got to
have, to take anyone to OT, is a TA moving through clear read, with good TA.
Without that, there is too much restimulation present for you to get the PC to
discharge material from the backtrack or to get into GPM's.  If you tried to
do this anyway, the PC's TA would tend to stick, then to go high, then to go
low, then eventually to stick at clear read.  If you then did a prepcheck,
which would now be harder, you could send him back to all those states of TA,
as you destimulated the case.  You wouldn't have to go all the way to F/N to
go to the backtrack, now.  The subject isn't how you discharge the incident;
it is when.  The TA should be moving around, preferably through 3.0, before
you try to go backtrack.

     So you can make a clear by prepchecking a few prepared subjects.  The
case will feel wonderful, sometimes for years, until he starts wondering
whether he still has any worries about what used to bother him.  Then he
starts restimulating himself and gets keyed in.  A mere key-out clear can't be
OT, because when he tries to turn on the power, it kicks in the inert
incidents.  The only way to make clear completely stable would be to discharge
everything in the bank.  From F/N'ing, the meter goes blank, because you've
got nothing to measure.  That's OT.

     Over-restimulation is the cause of amnesia, edgy and bad body feelings,
etc.  If you gave the PC three sessions in a row without getting any TA,  he
would feel rather bad, because just the auditing would have restimulated
charge, and you would have an over-restimulated case.  When this happens,
memory gets bad, facsimiles get harder to see, incidents get jammed together.
The bank gets to be a mess.  All this is due to over-restimulation.  If the PC
now gets prepchecked and destimulated, he can approach the track, but this can
be done with good TA only if the auditing is done gradiently, with good
clean-up of everything contacted, discharging it as you go.  Don't fail to pay
attention to the TA and go backtrack, hoping to get the incident responsible
for the restimulation.  You will restimulate more than you discharge, in the
process of looking for the incident.  A cheerful PC equals the itsa line in
and the TA moving.  It almost doesn't matter what the TA is moving on.  Case
level relates to over-restimulation, not to the amount of bank the PC has.

     The auditing target is always the restimulated charge, not the inert
material in the bank. [See Fig. 18] The PC can always restimulate more, once
he has discharged what was available.

FIGURE 20: DESTIMULATION

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

"Clear" means "nothing in the restimulation chamber".  If too much gets
restimulated, by life, auditing, or the PC, the auditor can destimulate it
with prepchecks and ARC break assessments, [See Fig. 20, p. 487, above.]  It
is not possible to audit someone without doing one of three things:

     1. Restimulating [See Fig. 18, p. 486].

     2. Destimulating [See Fig. 20, p. 487].  This is the same as keying
        something out.

 or  3. Discharging [See Fig. 19, p. 487].  This is the same as erasing.

Auditing is always doing at least one of these three things.  When a case is
already confused and is not confronting well, naturally the amount of
destimulation and discharge are minimal, so restimulation takes over.  You
will get no TA motion.  When you don't destimulate or discharge anything, you
will restimulate more and you will get no TA.  Lack of TA is a danger signal.
The auditor should find out why.  There are two possible actions:

     1. The auditor may do something that can discharge [or destimulate] the
        restimulated charge, e.g. prepchecking or flattening what has been
        left unflat.  Prepchecking or R2H would be safest.

     2. He can look for something that is preventing discharge.  [E.g. by
        doing an ARC break assessment to find the correct BPC.]

If the TA is not restored immediately, only one thing is wrong:  the case is
sitting in a service facsimile and will only worsen until the service
facsimile is cleared.

     If a small amount of auditing doesn't restore the case to a clear state,
the PC has a service facsimile.  If he is sitting in one, it must be run, or
he will not improve.  Prepchecks turn on mass in the presence of a service
facsimile, because the PC has no intention of getting rid of it.  The PC won't
let go of the service fac and the service fac won't surrender to the
prepcheck.  This also includes hidden standards.  Now that we know that the
anatomy of a service fac is a rightness-wrongness computation, we can do
something about it.  We knew of their existence before, as can be seen in
Advanced Procedures and Axioms [pp. 7-11].  The 18-button prepcheck should key
out the PC.  If it doesn't, the PC has a service fac.

     A prepcheck is just a series of types of decisions that a thetan makes
about things.  If it turns on mass, it must be in conflict with rightness and
wrongness.  So, in the PC's eyes, the auditor is trying to make the PC wrong
with the prepcheck, and the PC moves the facsimile forward as a defense,
increasing mass.

     The only reason for high TA is over-restimulation.  The two things that
prevent its cure are:

     1. The case's over-restimulated condition.

     2. A service facsimile that the case isn't about to give up.

To some degree, most cases fall into the service fac category, but most don't
have the service fac directly in the road of auditing.  Only service facs that
lie across the road of auditing interfere with clearing.  If the service fac
has to do with the PC's spiritual condition, with his case itself, then you
have to handle it so that he can get case gain.  The more a PC is trying to be
right by having a wrong case, the less progress the auditor will make with
this case.  A PC says, "If I didn't have a bank, they'd give me one," So
having a bank is "right".

     Don't let the PC itsa beyond the answer to the auditing question.  It is
far better for the PC to feel that his comm has been cut than for him to pull
in restimulation by being permitted to overrun an answer.

     An 18-button prepcheck on an assessed this lifetime subject or subjects
should give you a key-out clear, but a service fac won't surrender to a
prepcheck.
