Re: The old days - Aboard the Apollo - 1973
Lakey,
You mention above in red:
I wanted to ask something which relates to your mentioning of how a person can have gains by looking things up in dictionaries, thesaureses, etc.
No, no, no, no . . . . You're pulling a Terril on me
What I actually wrote is:
Note the difference between what I wrote and the idea of "looking things up in dictionaries, thesaureses, etc."
Both you and Terril "avoided" the actual mention of the explicit action that produces the gain
Of course it's charged, hot and nasty . . . but what the hell
let's dive off into something similar but different that's not as hot 
On the rest of your post, the sad fact is that "most" folks are actually somewhat short on vocabulary when it comes to trying to express themselves . . . and they are certainly short on being able to express the subtle nuances often required to get the perfectly right item
But not to worry, consulting a thesaurus can help them get the words they need.
It is quite amazing that a subtle shift in emphasis by use of a related but slightly different word can unlock the stuck flows/charge when one is going for "right items."
However, I am finding that trying to get the exact "right item wording" is not as important as getting a workably right item and the then using the right process on it to get it opening up and running is just as workable or even easier and more important.
Fixation on "right items" can be a bit of an arbitrary, and result in actually getting "wrong items." What you need is workable, run-able items

Thanks for this post and your previous post Roger. They are very timely, informative and pertinent! Reitman's comments about the negative Saturday Evening Post magazine article in the Spring of 1964 seem to blend into the mix of what was going on with LRH at that time. Apparently he was abandoning his search for truth at that time and "rabbiting", as you call it. The magazine article occurred and simply reinforced what he was already doing if I understand you correctly.
I wanted to ask something which relates to your mentioning of how a person can have gains by looking things up in dictionaries, thesaureses, etc.
In my own auditing, I have been making big gains in simply getting "my item" stated properly. Sometimes, big changes (blowdowns, etc.) occur when wording some area of interest. An example would be that I want to "get rid of" upsets with family members. If I reword this item and substitute "dissipate" for "get rid of", the item reacts much more strongly and runs easier and deeper. This goes so far that if significant effort is expended in picking the words and phrasing to express the item, the item is often nearly handled before it gets run.
I began using this tool when counseling other people informally. For example, a good friend came over and wanted to get advice from me on how to handle a situation with her boyfriend. I spent a lot of time getting her to word and phrase the difficulty she was having and by doing this, she practically solved her boyfriend situation by inspection, at least from her side of the situation. We then worked out a question for her to ask him. She asked that question of him that same evening and everything worked like a charm. The two successfully resolved their problem.

Lakey,

What I actually wrote is:
One can actually get gains by getting a dictionary, thesaurus or book of antonyms & synonyms and selecting all the verbs or other expressions of intentions and running repeater on them . . . . you'd get "gains" from that too. It would in fact be tantamount to what you do in running Hubbard's implant parade.
Note the difference between what I wrote and the idea of "looking things up in dictionaries, thesaureses, etc."
