Intentional harm
By way of contrast, if ones sets out with the intention of harming
another then the backlash from this action will be in accordance
with the Law of Cause and Effect, That Which One Sows, One Reaps.
The actual truth is that one cannot harm another unless he has
created the idea that he can be harmed. This of course, is his
responsibility. It follows logically that one cannot be harmed
unless one seeks to be so for the sake of experience which may be a
non-survival way of balancing up one's past overts. That one is
solely and totally responsible for everything that happens in one's
life by virtue of one having created it, for whatever reason, is
perhaps the most
difficult aspect of responsibility to understand, accept and put
into practice in one's life. It was this aspect that brought about
my own present life case completion.
The following is my take on making someone else guilty of an overt.
This action may have been like Martin states above, just a decision
or making another guilty and wrong or it could have been both at
different instances but they are both the same games condition of
making another wrong, the blame game.
This is a very critical concept and a juncture in the change of one's
existence, well beyond any one life time just as Martin is saying.
Basic is the fact that the body can be harmed but not the spirit, the
soul, the Thetan. The basic true self, the spirit cannot be harmed
and it is only taken upon one's self as such through using the body
or whatever beingness or identity. If the Thetan is to be harmed it
is because the spirit/Thetan postulates that it is so about himself
as a spirit. A Thetan can only be trapped and harmed if he considers
he is trapped and harmed and he will play the darndest games to prove
to others and himself that it is so. Stupidity also plays a big part.
It all started when the first overt was made. Ron mentions the very
1st and 2nd overt in the State of Man lectures. At the level of
Theta and strictly in the realm of the Theta universe, the first
overt, if there truly ever was such a thing, to harm another, was
when a Thetan made another Thetan guilty of an overt act. The
specific action here was one Thetan blaming another for harming him.
The stupidity comes into the picture when the accused Thetan
considers he has harmed another as the other Thetan does a good job
of pretending and demonstrating that he has been harmed by the guilty
Thetan. Not to difficult a performance for a Thetan even without a
body, a beingness. As this game went around, it probably got better
and better and even the accusing Thetan began to believe, there just
might be a way to harm a Thetan without his agreement. After all, he
had to continue to make the guilty party guilty, the ol' I'm right
and you're wrong game. Just more stupidity and game playing. Who
knows, possibly the accusing Thetan had a body or some identity at
the time to really demonstrate being harmed.
With this 1st overt, that of making another guilty of an overt act,
one can now see how powerful and deadly this overt can be. By making
the most powerful guilty and showing that the MOST powerful could be
harmed, the seed was planted that could and would make the most
powerful of all in all universes succumb to being trapped and
rendered down to nothing more than an inconsequential grain of sand
on a lonely uninhabited beach somewhere, anywhere in a far off
forgotten corner of the physical universe.
For one to now look back at all of this, one can easily see that the
game of blame is this same insidious disabling,injuring and killing
agent of oneself and others who were once totally immune to any and
all harm of any nature. The beginning of the downfall of Theta and
Thetans.
If you have gotten this far, I hope you can see that Level 4 is the
key that opens the door to walking out of the trap and Level 5 is the
walking out. What must be accomplished on Level 4 is 'Freedom from
Overwhelm'. Without this Level 5 is only of minor benefit for you
are not yet free from overwhelm. I also want to point out that doing
Level 4 to where one can no longer see any more charge to run off by
TimeBreaking is not a point of completion without having achieved
'Freedom from Overwhelm'. Without this 'Freedom', there still
remains the seed to succumb.
Once this is done, my experience has been a vast expansion of
understanding and knowledge. Being difficult to accept, it is not
all that surprising. Consequently many will raise every possible
arguments against its being so. The truth itself is quite simple
but, as Dennis Stephens said to me on his last tape before
relinquishing his body 'truths are always simple, complexities are
just playing games'. This leads to the rather startling concept
that there are really no such things as accidents. All occurs
within the workings of the Laws of Life which I wrote about in IVy
No 18, already cited.
Feeling guilty
LRH said that to accept responsibility for anything, one had only
to admit openly that he had done that which was created. Once this
was done the incident disappears by virtue of being as-ised. I
don't know if this is necessarily true. It will occur when
responsibility has really been fully taken but just saying so may
not be enough in all cases.
Shared responsibilities
There are many situations where shared responsibilities occur and I
have mentioned above a very simple example of this but the scale
can be very much larger in its scope and in the number of people
involved. Consider the complexities of responsibilities in regard
to a war, for example or the destruction of the earth's atmosphere
by increasing pollution. The complexity of this means that it is a
game with no simple solutions to it so that each one involved,
voluntarily or involuntarily, must assess his own degree of
responsibility in regard to it. To simplify the solution a little
in regard to one's own measure of responsibility, one must look at
one's own intentions and actions or inactions in regard to the
situation and act or not act accordingly.
Possible lines of action
Here is the outline of a tool for counselling or for running TROM.
The former will have the wording 'Has another forced upon you ...?'
The latter 'Is there a game where you were overwhelmed with ...?'
Questions could be :
1. Accept a responsibility that you did not desire.
2. Prevent you from accepting a responsibility that you desire.
3. Accept as yours, a responsibility that wasn't yours.
4. Be irresponsible.
5. Feel guilty.
Each question to be run on all four flows in order to cover every
aspect of it.
This I used with the client mentioned at the beginning of this
article but found that the use of the four flows on 1 was all that
was needed to complete the case by reason of the cognition which
then occurred. Later I told her that in reality this conclusion was
not an end but the beginning of ever increasing knowledge,
understanding and opportunities . She has already found this
happening.
The Editor, Antony Phillips (internet address: a...@jacome.ping.dk),
does have an Internet line for TROM and allied topics where
opinions and experiences can be shared. He will readily give you
details of it. If, like myself, you are not into having the
necessary computer you can always get in touch with me via himself
or, for matters regarding TROM, to Judith Methven who has had
considerable experience with TROM. I am moderately well versed in
the theory but have had no practical experience since my case
completion occurred on a totally different route, which took very
much longer.
The price to be paid
When one lives to the best of one's ability and having regard for
the Laws of Life, then, as I have mentioned, new knowledge just
flows in and understanding increases. For one at this level, the
price is one that he is quite happy to pay. This price has been
expressed in the injunction, 'as you have freely received, so
freely give'. I have told my clients that there is no need for my
personal recompense but just pass on to others that which you have
learnt and tell them to do the same. It works! LRH himself said
that ideally scientology should be given freely but then he went on
to find every reason why it couldn't be. That, perhaps, was the
beginning of the failure
of the C. of S.
The way ahead
Whilst I was thinking about the writing of this article it occurred
to me that those who are closely tied up with any 'ism, 'ology, or
group
association may find it more difficult to reach a present life time
case completion. This is because too close an association with such
organizations tends to impose limitations of thought and actions.
In the course of time they all are liable to deteriorate to the
level of 'the only way'. Such an association may indeed be very
valuable during one's lower levels in one's development but when
they become restrictive, it is time to leave them. I went from
christian to spiritualist to scientologist to the unnamed freedom
that I now enjoy. This freedom I have found to be essential for me
as I can not be restricted by others' set beliefs. Once one puts a
label on any sort of activity, it can tend to cause it to become
limiting, especially if it involves creating an organization.
Since the separation of the many old time scientologists from the C
of S many have found or created new forms of therapy and
counseling. To me it is axiomatic that no one way will be right for
everyone but that each of them will meet the needs of those who are
able to gain from what it offers. This growth and expansion is
especially true of the USA as a glimpse through the adverts in The
Free Spirit will show. The only thing here that is not to my taste
is that some of them still offer their knowledge and services only
to those who can afford high prices. I feel that this in itself is
highly likely in the course of time to cause the founders to lose
their games.
I agree with this assessment too. In addition, I would suggest that
there may be concepts and truths here and there which are true and
worth while and one should be able to note which those are and those
which are not worth while. There is the situation where one may
accept a dogma or a belief as a truth in the beginning and not be
able to note the dogma or faith until one has progressed beyond the
need or the understanding of either. That would only be possible as
one continues to progress in knowledge and understanding to higher
and higher levels of truth. With that I must say that one must
continue incessantly with one's experience and one's actions to
understand those experiences. Need I say this then tends to be an un-
ending progression. This then also supports your consideration of
'isms', 'ologies' and groups getting to a point where they then
become restrictive and limiting. Most, typically purport to be 'the'
answer and quite often say they are 'the only true answer'. All that
really does is say that there is a top, a limit to what exists and
what can exist, past, present and future. Obviously a very limiting
viewpoint and not the truth.
Remember the effect that this eventually had on LRH. Others have
offered their new-found discoveries for no more than, or just a
little over, the cost of reproducing them. My personal knowledge of
them has been Geoffrey Filbert with his Excalibur Revisited, Dennis
Stephens with TROM and Flemming Funch with his two volumes of
essays and his latest work Transformational Dialogues. There are
undoubtedly others but I have no first hand knowledge of them. It
does seem to me that these are the ones who are on the right and
most survival path.
A further warning is that one shouldn't make or imply false claims
or unattainable results. In the current edition of The Auditor at
the time of writing there is a banner headline in red: "Make it to
full OT:- do the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course at Ron's home".
This implies that doing so will make one full OT as defined by LRH.
I have never heard of anyone achieving that as yet and I am sure
that we would have, had it occurred. Irene Mumford (Mitchell)
claimed that Dianasis would do this but just before she left her
body she said that she didn't think this could be attained while
still in a physical body.
Let me end by saying quite briefly that if one does not pass on
freely that which one has received, then the source and channel of
that knowledge is very likely to dry up. On the other hand, when
one passes on one's knowledge and experiences freely there is a
never ending stream of new concepts and the understanding of life
that accompanies this. This is the open channel to Spirit,
Intuition or whatever you chose to call it but once you've
experienced, you can never doubt its reality and value.
Very true. Especially if one has a new understanding only common to
himself then that understanding and its knowledge will come to an end
and not go any further, it having been passed nowhere and it will not
propagate any further through time and space nor through the non-
physical universe.
It has been a while since you last posted here on TROM. I find your
posts enjoyable, worthwhile and thought provoking/stimulating. Where
else do you post?
