************* The following message is relayed to you by [email protected] ************ There are several ways I look at repair of importance.
Repair of importance is suggested in some emails on the list to be equivalent to repair of havingness in Scientology Auditing. HAVINGNESS, 1. that which permits the experience of mass and pressure. (A&L, p. 8) 2 . the feeling that one owns or possesses. (SH Spec 84, 6612C13) 3 . can be simply defined as ARC with the environment. (SH Spec 294, 6308C14) 4 that activity which is run when needed and when it will not violently deflect the pc's attention. (SH Spec 85, 6111C28) 5 . the result of creation. (SH Spec 19, 6106C23) 6 . the ability to duplicate that which one perceives, or create duplication of what one perceives, or to be willing to create a duplication of it. But it's duplication. (lSHACC-10, 6009C14) 7 . ability to communicate with an isness. The ability to conceive an is-ness and communicate with it. ( 17ACC-4, 5702C28) 8. havingness is the concept of being able to reach or not being prevented from reaching. (SH Spec 126, 6203C29) 9 . the need to have terminals and things to play for and on. (Dn 55!, p. 137) Abbr. Hav. ( Dianetics and Scientology Technical Dictionary) The basis of TROM is the four abilities 1. to bring something into existence 2. to take something out of existence 3. to perceive something 4. to not perceive something Things created will cease to exist if nothing is done to cause them to persist. If you take your attention off an item you just created it ceases to exist. Things perceived cease to be perceived if you take your attention off them. Per Dennis you cannot create something in the past. You can only create something now. The commands of the Repair of Importance are: 1. Create something 2. Have another Create something If follows then that the commands of the Repair of Importance are an exercise in the four basic abilities of life. To create something is to bring something into existence To take you attention off the thing created and put it onto the second command of RI is to cause the thing created to cease to exist. To have another create something is to yourself perceive what another has created To create something now takes your attention off what another has created so that you not perceive something Since you can only create something now the running of the RI commands pulls you attention off the past and into the present moment. So the question is, is the purpose of RI to create a bunch of stuff? Exercise your native abilities? Or bring your attention in to the present moment and therefore out of you fixation on past overwhelms? Or all three?
