Thanks for the comments on Itsa which I found very helpful and for all the references to non itsa type of processing from various sources.
I saw Purple Haze today, an old time Class VIII who audited at CCLA in its early days. Don Keeler was her C/S when she audited Celebrities at CCLA. Don took over from Ellen Jones the fist C.S. there. Purple Haze is still in touch with Keeler and his wife and Purple has nothing but good things to say about him. His is working in L.A. as a librariarn. Carmelo also has nothing but good things to say about him. I talked about the incident at length to Purple and no charge turned on. The charge has all been dissipated after being there for over 38 years!
I think Roger's process handled the charge for me. There was no itsa involved. I merely examined what might have happened had I called a B of I at CCLA and also a B of I at Flag on LRH after LRH falsely called me an embezzler and a liar. I worked out constructs for both situations which I described earlier today on this thread. The LRH one had the biggest "read" (just an imaginary read based on my gut feelings). I demand a B of I on LRH, 48 hours later I am a declared SP on a plane back to L.A.. After a weekend of rest I drive in to see the Intercontinental Justice Chief and work out of Confusion, Treason, et al. and pay my debt off and go back on study at ASHO. I write and post success stories on my rehabilitation and my story gets out amongst L.A. Scientologists. I become known and "THE MAN WHO STOOD UP TO LRH" A local Qual Sec or some such tries to bully me and cow me. I look him in the eye and say, "I am the man who stood up to LRH", get lost you little fucker. I went toe to toe with LRH and still survived so don't mess with. Go pick on someone else or I am really going to fuck you up so quit now while you are ahead. The Qual Sec slinks away with his tail between his legs.
As I was thinking about having the nickname, THE MAN WHO STOOD UP TO LRH, the charge started to blow. It dissipated slowly but in a steady flow which lasted maybe 2 hours. Its gone now after 39 years. As you say, Paul, itsa did not handle it but this form of finding a correct item and mocking up what might have happened had the right item been applied when the incident occurred 39 years ago did work.
I am not real happy and bubbly about it. There is some lowered havingness not carrying this charge around anymore. If I were getting formal sessions now, I would probably be running my havingness process.
I said to Purple Haze, "Okay, I accept that Keeler is a good guy now and always has been, I no longer have any charge on him but I still feel he made a mistake and harmed me in a major way by forcing me out of my true goal of tech and into an compromised goal of being in Treasury." Then I just now realized while writing this that if I follow this scenario to its conclusion, I don't ever end up going into Treasury. I end up being an auditor probably for ASHO. I do not end up auditing for CCLA and that is fitting and proper. CCLA no longer deserved the benifit of my services after failing to protect me when I was working for them. ASHO accepted me back and made it possible for me to be rehabilitated so they deserve my services more than CCLA. Everything works out as it should in this new fictiional world of what would have happened had I called a B of I on LRH while at the Apollo. All this imaginary altering of what actually happened occured in my mind with nary a word being uttered out loud. End of Process, End of Session, after 38 years my needle is finally floating.

Well, Lakey,
Firstly, well done on getting it right and going free from all that old hung up shit

The thing to know is that there are several levels of "processing."
The one we are most familiar with in Scn is that of grinding away from an at-effect perspective, addressing and trying to undo what you are effect of. It's tough, but it does eventually often get the job done.
The other sides (note the plural) of the coin are that of processing from the prior positive perspective, or of processing from the position of cause and the creating of the truth of what you want.
Part and parcel of all this is the selecting of the correct target to address.
Let me explain and give examples.
I could have said to you: "When were you doing OK and wonderfully?" and you'd probably have gone some way back to that point in your life you mentioned before the first collapse of your space that occurred pre-Scn.
Then one can rehab that prior positive "up" state, this by having you describe it, experience it, perceive how big you were, the moods involved etc. Then the process becomes one of simply having you, from that position of power and as that positive state of being, look at "The what happened?"
And of course all the subsequent, lesser shit of the negatives are viewed and easily blown because one is doing it from the position of power and the truth of the positive.
That's an example of processing from the prior positive perspective.
An example of processing from a position of cause would be as follows . . . . and by the way, in my opinion
One assumes or is operating from a cause perspective and one then creates, envisions (that's a word worth really getting a full grok on) one's more optimum scenario . . . . you were articulating this as you wrote how things "would have been had you . . . . etc."
And handling and processing life and the game in this manner is a very positive, correct process . . . problem is, most folks don't think to do it, don't consider it possible, etc. Though it is rather simple, you simply envision and work to bring about your "ideal scenarios."
Now, the way to win at all of this is to select the correct/right targets to address or otherwise seek to attain.
I'll give you an example of correct and incorrect targets in the exercise you just went through
When I told you in my earlier post that the correct process organizationally to handle the Keeler/Hubbard scenes was to call for a BOI on the scene. That for the reason of getting the truth established. That is a correct target.
Your response was in the vein of no one would listen to me as a mere (nobody) calling for a BOI on a Cl8 or Hubbard . . . .
wrong target LakeyThe target is not the individual
it is the actions and truth of the situation . . . a BOI would have investigated the truth of the scenario, not the individuals . . . and it would have/should have established truth and restored you to your proper state of Being and relationship in the org. . . . and yes, you'd have also earned the reputation of being not someone to screw with
That too, but that would have been incidental.Anyhow, the above because, as my father once critically said of me "You're too much of a perfectionist, Roger."
Truth is I like to get things as right or as correct and full as possible

So, well done on the big win; and I hope the above adds more power to you and the win you produced for yourself.
