Hey Roger, the idea of using those help brackets using those beingnesses to clear GPM's looks great to me, I see how this aligns with basic principles, including those you outlined at the 2009 FZ convention. Would you say there are any particular case prerequisites for running these?
Are there any case histories to share?
Love, Dex
Dex,
Using the Help Brackets to "clear GPMs" is another's idea, not mine. The post on it was by CarmelOrchards.
Personally, I'm not big on the "GPM" thing . . . . and I've run all versions of them in my time.
The original own goal GPM stuff is fraught with danger, of course. In my view, it's an "almost right, but wrong enough to be dangerous" piece of tech.
And, while a lot of folks are big on addressing the putative implant GPM content, I am not. Alan's view, as is mine now, was that you only need to address the implant stuff if a case is bugged by such. And a correction list will pick that up if it is ever the case, and he developed a handling that addresses the exact thing or part of the exact "implant" to blow the hang-up or effect of the triggered, in restim implant content.
Personally, I don't see any merit in putting folks' attention on "implants" . . . it runs the risk of causing them to think that there's something there they're missing if they don't do the whole parade and it also puts them at effect of a "now I'm supposed to."
Better is to process on the line of the Being's own power and wants, prime dream and aspirations.
The old own goals GPMs was an attempt at this, but screwed up for various reasons . . . not the least of which was that we did not have the "Rules of Listing & Nulling" or correction lists when we did them. Listing for own goals/GPMs ceased in April, '63, and the correction lists were not released till July. '63.
Also, when we ran the own goal GPMs, we did not in fact handle the actual identity/Beingness items.
Trey was quite correct when he pointed out that those GPMs are composed of
identities . . . they are not just simple items or "reliable items."
They are actual identities and complete Beingness you took on to play the game and to pursue the goal.
Hubbard never applied any identity handling, either erasure or optimization of them. At the time, he only "opposed them" . . . as I said in Pasadena, the drill was to get the "item" opposed; but this only released some of the surface charge and nulled the two opposed items so they sat there on the case no longer appearing to fire . . . but they sure as hell still existed and pushed the person around.
Alan did develop various gradients of approach to handling the "what you are being and dramatizing" levels of case and also the "what goal, dreams & aspirations case" you're hung up in.
And I propose to begin to write a Roger's Journal type thread where I'll deal with such tech issues along with the gross goofs that exist in Scn tech.
I've realized recently that there is a gross, terrible goof in Sc that is indeed one of its almost core principles. I'll not deal with it here as it does deserve/need a full and proper address so the issue can be properly understood, as I know it will shake up some cherished ideas for some

But it is the why behind why Alan says he ballooned to over 400 lbs weight and had terrible difficulty following certain Scn stuff. Interestingly, though, he did not get into and reveal the nature and extent of this tech error issue. That surprises me a little.
Anyhow, to answer your question on:
"are any particular case prerequisites for running these?"
Here's what I have observed as to case progress line-up
Newbies come in, and they are generally effect of things, got problems, upset, etc. So you handle what they are effect of!
Some rare newbies, got nothing they are particularly effect of . . . they just want to get better at doing, being or having something. Good, we have the tech for that too.
So it is at this level, when the client is free from the "what affects them" and when they are able to address empowering their
wants, dreams and aspirations that you can begin to address his/her wants, goals for life and living, even Prime Dreams & Aspirations. And this is the key to it all . . . this is where the power of the Being is!!!! And it is also here that the aberration and screw-ups to/of the Being exist.
And it is here that you can introduce the gradients of the tech you are asking about.
You are processing now on the guy's/gal's wants and power lines . . . you pick up what he/she is Being in order to Do and accomplish what he/she wants to have and enjoy.
So, even at an intro and newbie level, this kind of R/D can be run.
Hell, imagine the mileage and gain from something like a mom who wants to be a better mom from running the help bracket and the responsibility, know and control processes on: "As a mother . . . . !"
As regards the "Holy Grail" of case handling . . . the handling and erasure of the Games Matrices? My judgment call is that it actually takes the client being very well educated so they can recognize what the hell is going on when it occurs as they process their case. It is not an issue of "case level" in my view, though obviously certain case progress and freedom from being effect and "motivatorish" and upset with life must have been attained.
The client needs to have experienced and have a true comprehension of the spectrum of the mood scale and also how we have declined through games as we progressed them.
And a key part of the client's progress is to have handled various key identities they have operated. Two reasons for this: one being the removal of current case/charge, the other being getting the client very familiar with identities, what they are, how they operate and how they can be erase or optimized. By "key identities" I mean this life and also possibly any long term whole track identities/Beingnesses the client has been hung up in.
You'll notice Bill Maier's write-up expresses the spectrum of identities in the terms as though they span a range of moods or attitudes. LRH's version of GPMs were putatively spanning such a spectrum also.
My personal observation is that this is a correct perception, but an erroneous conclusion.
What was perceived was a basic Beingness and identity assumed to pursue a Goal/Game that went through mood changes down to utter failure and worse. Some of the moods/attitudes might be heavy enough to need handling, but basically you are dealing with the identities the Being created and adopted to play the game . . . and that is what you want to handle . . . and handle fully.
Basically, as I said in Pasadena, for each Game (Matrix) there are four identities/Beingness locked up on each other in opposition. The two positive ones, and the two that the Being flipped into reverse polarity or vector with to become negative and oppose what he/she formerly was wanting/pursuing.
All else is simply variations of mood and attitude of these.
To unlock this matrix, one needs to run the full identity/Beingness handling on each identity/Beinginess and also run how each opposed/dominated and dones/restraints etc 4 flows by each each identity on each of the others. A lot of cross flow shit occurred in "building" these entrapping matrices.
To handle it, the client needs to be a very well grooved in PC . . . personally, I think it would be best done solo. But it can be done by auditor and PC as a team. And some will need that.
So, what's it take to bring a PC up to dealing with it
They would need to have had the ascension that takes them up to an experiential awareness of the truth of their spirituality. They would need to have "all Ruds" in in life. In Kn terms, they would have to have their 12 Vital Fundamentals in fully. (I might have to post that info later)
And, in my view, an absolutely vital accomplishment for anyone who wants to succeed at this, they should have had a full battery of objectives to full EP. Alan referred to these as the "God's processes." And he is correct in that. Objectives run correctly and to full EP put the client's awareness and their ability to SCS, and reach and make space etc., under their full knowing control. And that is a colossal state to be in.
And sadly, I don't know very many who really accomplished a full EP of objectives processing. But by observation, all our "powerhouses" in this tech game are folks who have benefited from a full R/D and EP on objectives. These are the processes where the PC
uses and develops increase in spiritual powers.
Whew, I think I got the answer to your question in all of that

Basically, I'm not into the GPM thing

I like to deal with the guy's own, real life
