Hullo Mark,
In Knowledgism the direction is toward the client's wants. What do they have their attention on? Thst is where the present time (real time) charge is. The fact that they can put their attention on it means they can confront it.
You are starting from a known position and you have absolutely no idea where you will end up, except that you will have helped the client blow force, mass and charge along the way.
This is known as processing for the client. Every time they blow some mass and gain a new understanding, they are so spiritually expanded that they can either take a break or see what the next area they have their attention on, and continue accordingly.
The only way to discharge force, mass and charge is in real present time. This is known as processing from the top down.
For example, I would not ask the client what their attention is on until such time as they were exterior. It is the ONLY way to process a client.
This was the way clients were processed in Scientology before 1964, or, before when Hubbard went mad.
Scientology starts from an unknown position and works toward a stated goal or outcome. This is processing from the bottom up.
It does not matter to the Scientology processer what the client REALLY wants to look at, so long as the direction is toward the stated goal.
This is processing for the Org, you are running, essentially, Hubbard's case.
What you are doing is basically creating a false identity for the client. You are not addressing their wants, but the Org's wants.
This is known as implanting.
So there you have it. Scientology processing is designed to implant the person, to mould them into a dedicated and supportive member of the group.
No doubt several readers of this list will attest to having made excellent gains in Scn. No doubt they did, but at what cost?
How many readers were, at one time, dedicated and supportive Scientologists, before they took a look at WHAT IS.
There is rather an easy way for those of you who have been implanted by Scn to unravel it.
Here are the questions; What do you really, really want to be?
What do you really,really want to do?
What do you really, really want to have?
Just ponder these questions, it may take some time for the right answere to come to light, but an honest approach should bring results.
One good way is to make long lists of answers. What happens as you write down your answers is that identities blow off. You will come up with right answer in the end.
So, no more implanting, much more recovery of freedom and abilities.
