Hello,
I'm David Cooke from Adelaide, Australia. I've had an interest in
scientology (in the broadest sense of the word, and with a lowercase
"s") for most of this lifetime, and came upon TROM a few months ago in
the course of reading everything I could find about the continuation of
the research that LRH began into actual GPMs, games and goals packages.
Two things stood out about Dennis Stephens' work:
1) Timebreaking. I've experienced this way of thinking at least since
going clear 40 years ago but never had a word for it or a conceptual
framework to explain it. In place of small, solid, apparently
other-determined, facsimiles the past was contactable as life-sized
scenes that I was free to enter. I had been theorizing about present
time being broadened to include more and more of the past; but Stephens'
Supermarket Paradox expresses this much more elegantly.
2) Stephens' four-leg model of games, and Know as the basic game,
immediately made sense. They explain so much, and have the great virtue
of simplicity. Mathematics was not one of LRH's strong points, and the
use of Boolean algebra may have been the additional thing that was
needed.
I'm currently on Level 3 of TROM.
Many thanks to Pete for maintaining this List, and to all who have been
keeping Dennis Stephens' work available and in use. BTW... around 1997
I was quite outspoken on Usenet in defence (as I then misconceived it)
of scientology against freezoners and others. If anyone whom I offended
at that time is reading this, I acknowledge that you were right and I
was in the wrong.
Regards,
David
