O/Ws, motivators and my first post. 
I've concluded that the overt-motivator sequence is a lie created to exert control.
I remember a level 2 tape where LRH says the overt-motivator sequence is not Kama, which is an implant. I remember, even as a good scientologist, figuring over that one. Why was it different from Kama? Why was kama an implant, but the overt motivator sequence wasn't?
The only answer I've come up with after thirty years is that the concept of the overt-motivator sequence was created by LRH and the concept of Kama wasn't. That's what made it different, more profound, special - it was LRH's!
Hence he dismissed Kama as an implant. It was one of his magician's sleight of hands - saying what was there in front of you is not there in front of you (the best way to hide something is to put it in full view) "The overt-motivator is not Kama. The overt-motivator is not an implant. Kama is an implant. You will obey, you will obey!"
He did this quite often, stating that something was not the something that it was (Op Pro by Dup is not hypnotism - the overt-motivator sequence is not an implant - Dianetic Book One auditing is not hypnotism - HCOPL What Your Fees Buy "the fees you pay for service do not go to me", etc,)
He invented the overt-motivator sequence (originally he called it the DED-DEDEX deserved act, deserved act exposed) and in auditing it can give tremendous relief - I know this as a PC and as an auditor, But LRH misused this to abuse and degrade his followers with concepts like "pulling it in" and out of session O/W's to explain our results that he adjudged as "failiings".
It was an implanted control mechanism that LRH ran on all us slaves.
I never disagreed with the concept of the overt motivator sequence. But misunderstanding of it is widespread (imho).
How many places is it talked about? There is mention of false O/Ws. And motivator-overt sequence. I think that the people dealing with "Ethics" had a blind spot for the REST of the HCOBs/PLs, etc.
Whenever someone got a big motivator, indications were made as to the big overt they must have committed, creating false O/ws. And out-lists. And etc.
My problems never had to do with the tech per se, but with the incorrect, limited, and alter-ised application thereof.
Management pushed it, execs committed it, tech terminals had to follow it or courts of ethics, comm evs, etc would result.
The average tech terminal that actually cleared their MUs (I was one) would look longingly at the reference and follow orders, cause it was too much effort to fight it.
For any false overts created, especially any that I had to do with, I apologize most sincerely.
I'd like to indicate that that was a false overt.
(I hope you all got a floating needle.) lol
