Well, OK, Owen . . .
Your own goals GPM searching/handling will get to dealing with your spiritual existence prior to the physical universe.
Even so, having done Hubbard's version of it in the '60's, I don't recommend it.
I lived the development of Hubbard's tech from '57 . . . and it is massively flawed.
I discovered "earlier universes" while doing OT3 in '77, wrote to Hubbard about it, and that item was added to the OT3 Correction List . . . but nothing was done by him to research and deal with the earlier universes . . . and this is a colossal area of BPC and occluded case to handle.
Alan Walter did a wonderful job of researching the issue of Earlier Universe and wrote it up in his book, "Gods in Disguise."
I spoke on this subject during the FZ conference in 2009 here:
This is the tech write up concerning our Pasadena presentation.
