Hi Pete,
I don't think you are helping to clarify matters at all with your examples. It seems to me that you have a number of things mismashed here. Reordering the postulates is not really what Dennis meant by cross-packaging. To order the "to eat" postulates like this: 1. must eat 3. must not be eaten 2. must not eat 4. must be eaten is just plain stupidity if someone sets up the postulates in that fashion - it just means they have not understood the most basic fundamentals of what a package is. This of course could be called cross-packaging because it completely violates the rules for how to form a package, but this misses the boat on the subtleties of cross-packaging. Your explanation: "Where 2 is not available because of your previous decision that you "must eat" and 4 is your opponent because it is now off your diet but 3. is not a complement of 1 so you are cross packaged." just muddies the waters because proper packaging has nothing to do with whether a postulate is "available" or not. If the person is at "must eat" then "must be eaten" IS a complementary postulate. This talk about donuts being "Now off your diet" is spurious. The guy who is going to have a problem with "must be eaten" and not going to eat the donut is at "must not eat" not at "must eat". Trying to rationalize bad package formation with this example doesn't clarify matters. 1. must eat 3. must be eaten 2. must not eat 4. must not be eaten Don't disarrange the postulates, that's just a sure way to goof the floof :) Cross packaging is the action of placing a postulate (or postulates) that belong in a different package(s) into a single package. " When two or more junior packages are crossed up into one package neither of the packages will erase, and the whole mish-mash just grinds on forever. ... Check that the complementary postulates are indeed complementary, and that the opposing postulates are exact oppositions" - Dennis Here are some examples of cross packaging: Must eat Must be edible (not complementary) Must not eat Must diet (not exact opposite) Must wash Must be cleaned (not exact complementary) Must be dirty(not opposite) Must not be cleaned (not opposite) In this last you have wash and clean packages being crossed up with the additional screwup of dirty not being a life goal. So I wouldn't say that you have 3-way cross packaging here (to be dirty would handle by running to be clean) You've got "To wash" cross packaged with "To clean" Hubbard's methods of GPM running were fraught with cross-packaging and why they nearly killed people. 3D Criss-cross was one of those processes. I have a feeling that Dennis pulled the "cross package" term from how Hubbard crossed items using oppose rather than using the exact opposite. If you look at the goal plots of the 1963 ear you can see the cross packaging that is going on.

That is why I brought up the subject for discussion. I need the viewpoints of the talented people on this tromlist to sort out the subject. "all the 4 goals that you listed are in the same package, regardless how they are arranged." I disagree with you here. Dennis spent some time in the manual detailing the games matrix: leg 1 leg3 leg 2 leg4 with the relationships being leg 1 complementary to leg 3 and leg1 in conflict with leg4 etc. So putting the postulates into different positions in the matrix demonstrates a change in how the being views the postulates. leg 1 must sex versus leg 4 must be sexed reflects a games condition and a cross packaging. this also is masculinity versus femininity which Dennis says may need to be addressed to handle the problems with sex that all humans have. The matrix is a useful tool for demonstrating the cross packaging. The quote you provided demonstrates this point: "' The legs of a junior package must bear the same relation to each other as do the legs of the basic package. Otherwise the package is not a true package and will never erase. E.G. The complementary goal of 'To free' is 'To be free' not 'To be freed'. " Your examples of cross packaging are good and thanks for them.

Slight alterations of wordings, as a covertly hostile person would be happy to do, would lead to cross packaging. Here is the definition's first mention in the manual... ' The legs of a junior package must bear the same relation to each other as do the legs of the basic package. Otherwise the package is not a true package and will never erase. E.G. The complementary goal of 'To free' is 'To be free' not 'To be freed'. Some care is always required in formulating the exact wording of junior packages. When a junior package is not erasing cleanly the most common fault is that the package is not a true package. This is known as cross-packaging. It is one of the 'deadly' sins. When two or more junior packages are crossed up into one package neither of the packages will erase, and the whole mish-mash just grinds on forever. The therapist who tries to resolve a man's drinking problem by addressing his infantile sex life is guilty of cross- packaging. This is why the 'therapy' goes on forever with no relief for the patient. Indeed, the basic way to confuse a being is to cross-package him. Much thought has been given to this gentle art in the history of the universe, and the most confusing things that have ever happened to beings have been overt attempts to cross-package them - all under the guise of 'education', of course. Once cross-packaged the being is stuck within the crossed-up packages forever. Cross-packaging is the primary method of enslaving spiritual beings that has been used in the universe. It is infinitely more effective than the use of rubber truncheons. So make sure that the legs of your junior packages bear exactly the same relation to each other page 85 as do the legs of the basic package. Only then will they erase. Check that the complementary postulates are indeed complementary, and that the opposing postulates are exact oppositions. This can only be done empirically, on the basis of cold, hard logic. To do it any other way is to court disaster. One may have a strong 'gut feeling' that the goal 'To eat' is opposed by the goal 'To not be edible', however logic tells us that the correct opposition is 'To not be eaten'. The difference between the package cleanly erasing and grinding on forever is to be found within such fine shades of meaning. Nowhere in life do you have to be more precise than in this area of composing junior goals packages. ' That's it right from the 'ol man' himself. If he didn't give examples of cross-packaging when he discussed the sex package, then we have to come up with and extrapolate our own examples from conjecture, logic, and experience. Here's some possible examples... I have to have sex with him so that he'll marry me. I have to show my virility by giving her a good session in bed. I'll look prettier to others if I wear this sexy dress. I can't wear those orange pants, because they're such a 'gay' colour ! I'll be the life of the party if I tell them how often 'I scored'. I can't have sex with him in the first two dates, or he'll think that I'm a whore. To sex vs. To be sexy. (definitely a cross packaging). To sex and to be sexed vs. to sensually stimulate and to be sensually stimulated. None of the above is just 'sex', but rather other postulates/goals/purposes/intentions mixed in to muddy up the water and complicate things. Now I understand the man; eg. If you are addressing 'welding steel', you aren't addressing 'screwing nuts onto bolts'. They are two different actions, and not the same enough to be called one package.

It only occurs? when you are stuck in a compulsive game. for instance with "to eat" When you see a donut that screams "must be eaten" and you are in a voluntary or no games condition you can pick whether you adopt the "must eat" or "must not eat" postulate but if you are compulsively in the "must eat" and have eating problems and see a donut you make the "must be eaten" postulate your enemy and get the cross packaged goal: 1. must eat 3. must not be eaten 2. must not eat 4. must be eaten Where 2 is not available because of your previous decision that you "must eat" and 4 is your opponent because it is now off your diet but 3. is not a complement of 1 so you are cross packaged. Therefor compulsion is a necessary component of cross packaging in life?

They got my brain working again. Here is what i have come up with so far. the normal to sex goals package has male and female complementing each other. 1. must sex 3. must be sexed by making females and males opponents in a game we move the female postulate to the opponents position and the negative female postulate to the complementary position. 1. must sex 3 must not be sexed 2. must not sex 4 must be sexed This is by definition a cross package as 1 and 3 are not exactly complementary. Does this look like a correct interpretation of Dennis' statement that: "As a male, he soon starts to get opposed to females, and vice-versa. Very soon he is in a terrible state on the subject, for the two genders are not intrinsically in opposition to each other. You end up with a classic case of cross-packaging. We find the male desperately asserting his masculinity, while heavily suppressing any feminine characteristics in his personality, and vice-versa for the female. The whole subject soon takes on the quality of a nightmare, and becomes one big unsolvable problem. And it stays this way until the being regains his full freedom of choice to occupy, at will, any one of the four classes available to him on the subject." IF so then on any goals in life if you make what should be a complementary postulate into the opposition postulate in a game you are cross packaging.

With the following definition here is what I see.

This is known as > cross-packaging. It is one of the 'deadly' sins. When two or more junior packages are crossed up into one package neither of the packages will erase and the whole mish-mash just grinds on forever. The therapist who tries to resolve a man's drinking problem by addressing his infantile sex life is guilty of cross-packaging. This is why the 'therapy' goes on forever with no relief for the patient. The packages are not the little differences that exist between the sexes, male to female or female to male but the fact that male is different than female and vice versa. So it is not the differences that exist between a male and a female but the simple fact that male is different than female and female different than male. To heck with all the differences thereby derived, it is that male is not female and female is not male. With two separate things which are not the duplicate of the other, there will always be a difference. To then go into all the differences that one can spot between the two sexes will not address the basic. So one can process out all of the differences that they can find between sexes and totally miss the basic. The basic is that one sex is not the other. So if one then processes on those differences between two items, one may miss the fact that there is an opposition and games condition because there are two different things, not that there are two or more differences in sexual characteristics. Basically not being able to see the forest for the trees. Processing out all the different trees and all of their differences between each other will not process out the opposition terminal of the forest. Just process on 'the forest'. As in Dennis' sample, process alcohol not "infantile sex life". A person may give you or you yourself may give yourself housekeeping as the opposition subject when it is really male vs female or female vs male and nothing more non-esoteric than that. I believe Dennis calls this 'Cross-Packaging' as all crossed or mixed up and not addressing the correct item.
