They are giving you a freebie. When a bully kicks sand on you at the beach and you go ballistic in response you know from the TROM material that this is a hot game for you. Timebreak the game and your reaction to it until it is completely unimportant to you. This is the low hanging fruit, the targets of opportunity of life that another is serving up to you. Thank them and timebreak your minds content.
It doesn't matter that others are saying unpleasant things to others or to you. It only matters that you timebreak your reaction and thank them for helping you find another hot item. ------------------------------------------------------- Pete - Thanks for the reminder. However when a vacuum cleaner salesman tells me that he is concerned about the dust in my house - I know that he is only truly interested in the commission he is hoping to get from the sale. When someone tries to persuade me to their point of view and uses ad-hominem tactics - then I must ask myself whether they want me to see their point of view or sympathize with their victim status or are they intent on elevating their own status by denigrating others. I am certainly not completely free of "irateness" or emotion. I have a large family who provide a great many opportunities for "time-breaking" LOL or resolve by applying that first datum in TROM of doing consciously what the reactive is doing subconsciously. I don't think its too much to expect that those studying TROM actually study in a new unit of time and if they don't agree with something or can't understand some aspect they should ask for clarification on the list. To allow anyone to assume some altitude of "I am better" or have greater knowledge and therefor consider TROM or Dennis or whoever as beneath them is not conducive to enlightenment or elucidation and they should not be allowed to use this list to forward some hidden agenda. Having concern for an adversary would include realizing the intent of the adversary and indicating that his intent was not as hidden as he supposedly thought. Most are on this list to gain insight and enlightenment. Over the years we have had isolated posters who had other agenda's. They were more detractive than destructive and fell by the wayside. They did succeed for a while in distracting from the purpose of the list. The criticism that TROM is difficult to understand may have some validity as Dennis used an approach based on "logic" which is eschewed by Hubbard in Scientology - He promoted the use of "illogics" to identify "out-points" as he referred to them. After studying TROM - the latter day "illogics" of Scientology become glaringly obvious. The early tech remains valid. By early tech I mean the tech which was developed for individual enhancement and not for group collective power. I do understand the problem ex-scientologists have with TROM. Been there done that. The statement "Been there done that" and my criticism of latter day Scientology is in itself a statement of altitude for which I apologize. I am more than willing to give detail should anyone ask.
