The only negative thing I have to say is that Zivorad writes too much Thus his techniques kind of get buried under all his words.
Approx. 1 year ago I made a list of wants-handled. I ran a lot of these wants-handled and they are GONE.
It sometimes takes literally 10 seconds to get rid of something.
I give you a real example from my own list
"Hmm, why do I get upset when I talk to person X?"... think... look... 20 seconds... GONE.... I start to like this person... never upset again.
Another real example
My entire life I was a night person. I always worked the whole night until morning. In fact, starting from 22:00 (10pm) I would get more and more fresh and then at around 8-9am I would get tired and go to bed. Since my partner complained I decided one day (while in bed falling asleep) to handle it. It took me approx. 2 minutes. Since then (now already 1 year ago) I never made a night through anymore.
Another real example
Since 20 or so years I had headaches. Approx. 1 year ago I ran the headache with Aspectics. Since then the headaches are gone and I never took another pain killer! A huge win for me.
These 3 examples show you that Aspectics can handle emotional and physiological issues. Unbelievable.
The technique is swift... and deals with what Zivorad calls Aspects (hence "Aspectics"), a term which I don't like. "Aspects" would be best described in Scientologese as "Black masses", "BTs", "Counter-intentions in your space", "Decayed Goal Ridges" and other "Soul Fragments/Splinters"
Once you ran a few Aspectics sessions you will see how Scientology techniques are always ANTI: It's always "the BAD implants", "the BAD implanters", "the NASTY SPs", "the reactive BANK", "the PTSness", "Xenu's BTs", "the criminal critics" etc. It's always YOU vs THEM. This is not too obvious when you are only in Scientology but it gets more obvious once you run a few Aspectics sessions.
Why? BECAUSE A LOT OF BTs are actually your own creations (= you created them as a demon or a god) or are simply a black mass consisting of your own decayed (failed) goals. It's interesting that there is a "Clear cog" (= you mock-up your own bad bank) but not a "GPM cog" or "BT cog".
In MANY cases a BT will "reintegrate" = become a part of you again when you realize that it WAS part of you in the first place but you simply split it off so that it could sit "OVER THERE".
However, there ARE "bona fide" demons (= real other thetans that cling to you) and in these cases Aspectics gives you a nice tool to actually find out whether it's a demon or not and IF it IS INDEED a demon then you would switch to anti-demon techniques. Thus the combination of Aspectics + a few demon-chasing techniques (which Zivorad describes too) is the solution for the lower AND the upper bridge. But this is just a wild guess from me.
An example "session"
"What's your problem?"
"I have an urge to cut myself"
"Where is this urge located and how does it look like? Is it an emotion? A thought? A black mass? etc..." There are approx. 10-15 categories you can go through, but usually you merely need to ask "Where is this urge located? Behind you? In you? Above you?" and the PC gets immediately what you mean. You simply let him describe it as much as possible: Color, position, form etc. A normal description would be "It's a ball in my heart area that has spikes and rotates" or "It's a stuck picture in front of me that pulls me away" or "It's 7 monsters around me" or "It's a really black spear that goes through my head" something of that sort. Describing ALONE can already blow a lot of charge.
Then you go to the next step: You want to direct the PC's attention onto that "thing" he just described and ask that thing:
"What is your goal for me?". Sometimes "What are you?" indicates more or "Who are you?" (hello, NOTs) or "What are you doing there?" or ""What do you want?" There are a couple of variations but the main point is to find out what the heck it is WANTING/DOING.
The answer will usually be something negative like "I want to see you suffer", "I want to see your head chopped off" etc.
Then you imagine a complete and perfect fulfillment of this goal and ask the Aspect "If you will completely succeed and my head will be chopped off.. then what will be your higher and greater goal (for me)?".
Usually there will be another negative answer like "Then I want to see the chopped-off head being eaten by maggots" or something of that sort.
You again imagine the fulfillment of this goal and ask "If this will be completely fulfilled.. then what will be your higher and greater goal (for me)?".
Now comes the fascinating part of Aspectics: When you go up the goal chain from lower goals (= decayed goals) to higher goals you will see that the higher goals suddenly become friendly and the decaying makes sense.
Thus the next answer of the Aspect might be "After your head is eaten by maggots you can grow a new one that is much better" (Aah, sounds already much friendlier)
And then "After you grow a new head you can finally start to think more clearly"
And then "After you start to think more clearly you won't be disturbed by bad people".
And then "When you won't be disturbed by bad people you can help others"
etc etc. This would be a typical goal chain that starts really mean/dark/sinister and then quickly (after 2-3 higher goals) turns into something positive.
At this point either the Aspect completely vanished or you can goal-chain it higher and higher until you find a state of completely goallessness for that Aspect.
If you were to run NOTs on this Aspect ("A vicous BT wants to see my head chopped off") then I bet you will go crazy after running a few hundreds of such Aspects, because most of them will be your own Black Masses resulting from Decayed Goals. Thus I think that NOTs introduces NEW RIDGES that seal away the old ridges. Thus aside from the few cases where you actually MIGHT blow a real BT you will build up a superb Not-Is of every "Aspect" of your case AND possibly of normal body functions. No wonder there are these cancer cases amongst NOTters.
If you were to run Aspects Creative Processing style then it would be "Now take this black spear that runs through your head and make it red.. blue... green.. now make it small" etc. Thus Creative Processing WILL work at first but will later again introduce BPC since you won't handle the GOAL that CREATED that spear.
I found, by the way, that "Who are you?" works not so well on real demons. It works well on Aspects because "Who are you?" is basically a variation of "What is your goal?" (Who are you? A cook! = What is your goal? Cooking!) but not too well on real demons. I found that real demons react better to "Who gives you the right to bother me/be in my space?" and some other questions techniques.
Please feel free to disagree with me.
