Bob Ross claimed he used it successfully, here:
"A young man came in one day with a loudly blaring portable radio. He wanted to have a demonstration, so I got him in session and as usual immediately asked him to return to conception. As he recounted the incident, he came to a point where he drew a good sized knife, stood up and began to walk toward me brandishing the knife. This alarmed me considerably but I managed not to panic, as I considered what to do."

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF is that?!!!
I read it. . . (below) and thought it had to be a stupid spoof. LOL
A young man came in one day with a loudly blaring portable radio. He wanted to have a demonstration, so I got him in session and as usual immediately asked him to return to conception. As he recounted the incident, he came to a point where he drew a good sized knife, stood up and began to walk toward me brandishing the knife. This alarmed me considerably but I managed not to panic, as I considered what to do.
I immediately came to the conclusion that he was dramatizing the incident he had been running. In fact he was running the incident from the viewpoint of one of the people in it, suggesting that his conception was the result of rape.
What to do? I kept my TR's in, (though they hadn't been invented/named yet). An answer came to me, I'll give God credit because I don't recall that Ron had mentioned anything quite like this in DMSMH. I simply said, quite calmly, "return to the beginning of the incident." He immediately put the knife away, sat down, and began to recount the incident from the start of the incident.
We went through this little scene, half a dozen times I think, before I felt able to end the session and send him on his way, with his radio blaring again. No doubt, I should have run out the incident completely, but I was satisfied at the time to have gotten through the experience with a whole skin.
I came to the conclusion that he had the loudly blaring radio to drown out his own thoughts, i.e. it helped him to stay in present time and not attack people!
The New York Dianetic Foundation, was a few blocks further down town also just off Fifth Avenue. I visited there one day and spoke to the Doctor in charge, who had been the resident physician at a mental hospital on Long Island. He told me how he had become convinced that dianetic procedures worked after running one of the patients on the incident he was dramatizing after which the patient promptly got better.
LOL LOL LOL
Then a micro-second later I realized that it is supposed to be a factual event.
That is so indescribably stupid.
I closed the link. But 15 seconds later, i again concluded it must be a spoof by some funky made-up personna like Billy Blowdown. So I looked up who "Bob Ross" was.
And then--
WTF, again! Here's another OT win by Bob Ross (from
THIS LINK).
Ron's Physical Appearance
I have seen Ron many times. Once I was standing in front of 1810 19th St., N.W. when he came barrelling(sic) up the steps of 1812 past a group of students about 15 feet away from me. He seemed shorter than most of them, about 5'6" or 7". I saw him very clearly another time toward the end of an after Congress party, about 1960. I went up to him to say "Good Night," and noticed that he was so tall (about 7' or 2.13 Meters) that my outstretched hand would barely have reached the top o his head. I took his hand, to shake hands and noticed that his hand was extremely large and that I could see the pores of his skin as though under a magnifying glass.
At Saint Hill I saw him often on the grounds, where he talked occasionally with students. I met and spoke to him once as he was being picked up by his chauffeur at the East Grinstead Public Library. He seemed to me to be having some trouble physically getting into the car. I went over to him to say "Hello." I had just come back after taking a week's unauthorized leave to go to Paris. He said to me, "I told them you would be back." I saw him again at a performance of a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta starring Jenny Edmunds, course supervisor and Reg Sharpe's girl friend. Ron was standing surrounded by many students and was a full head taller than most of them.
Anybody else having huge wins on these OT SUCCESS STORIES, like I had? I was blowing so much charge and line charging so hard, I lost my MEST balance and went "
barrelling" down a flight of MEST stairs, on this planet. I don't mean to be critical of Bob Ross' lack of OT spelling skills, because he's an old timer in Scientology, which is back in the days before Ron invented dictionaries.
