Interesting points were brought up recently by Rowland Barkley regarding
an individuals TA reading and a state of NIRVANA.
Briefly I believe he mentioned that under deep meditation the body skin
resistance would rise enormously. This seems in direct contradiction to
the observations I have made using a meter over several years.

My belief empirically is that a relaxed state or case "completion"
results in a low TA reading. This implies a low body resistance.
Highly strung PC's or those with enturbulation seem to have a High TA
reading (High Resistance). Using an older style meter it has been said
that you cannot audit when TA is above say 3.5. This seems to be for
one reason that the Meter is not sensitive enough at this high TA while
resistance is so high.

Would people like to comment on these observations as I seem to be
missing an important point?.


P.S When doing TROM I did not use a meter as I agree with D.S that the
person is more finely tuned to detecting change than any meter once a
certain level is attained.

Regards,
John

Hello TROM listers,

I'm willing to start TROM soon.

I would like to know if any of you used an E-meter during the early levels
of TROM, and specifically the one manufactured by "Ability Meters
International" . Is it really so good as I heard ?

I'll be glad to know of anyone who posses or encaunterd any written
instructions for using an E-Meter for TROM and is willing to share them
with me .

Many Thanks,
Nori

       On EEGs, OTs are normally the exact reverse of measured masters in
many different disciplines, referred to in above book. In most systems, those
regarded as masters have high Alpha brain rhythms, (ability to visualize
creatively) and low Delta and low Beta. OTs have good control of Beta
(able to activate logical thinking) extremely low Alpha with no control of
it, and slow Delta as in the deepest hypnotic trances, at such an extreme
and uncontrollable level as to exceed all known measurements of any
measured people still able to walk.

They are not at all at cause as they have been conditioned to believe that
the body is not a valid part of consciousness, but something to dominate.
The body is much more expert at dominance than the spirit, and it wins the
game by generating illusions so the spirit gets to pretend it is at cause.
I am only referring here to a significant number of measured OTs validated
by "brand X" as high level case completions, and had this pattern without
exception.

EEG plus meter will give you the information first hand.

One can take Dennis's ideas about an ideal stable high state as quite
valid, if you consider the context of it being said while approaching death.

Another important thing about your observations on the meter. You cannot,
in any research, remove the effect of the observer on the experiment. I can
take a deep breath, shift into a high state, look at someone on the meter,
and in seconds it is at 500,000 ohms, If I shift into an activated state
such as imagining myself as a dog about to jump in the sea, the other
person on the meter drops in 5 seconds to 5000 ohms.

The above biofeedback book refers to many experiments in which the client
copied the healer's brain rhythms usually in 15 seconds, even when the
healer was in another room on another EEG. Therefore powerful effects of
suggestibility on the part of the auditor to the meter cannot be ruled out,
including if the auditor is not speaking

Firstly, some time ago Judith mentioned on this list that intuition was
one of the OT's characteristics. Your answer seems to suggest that to the
contrary, OTs should possess a keen ability of logical thinking. Is this
only an apparent contradiction or in fact, both abilities are enhanced?
Secondly, do you imply that high suggestibility in OTs is produced only in
Cof$ or uniformly, possibly suggesting an egregious drawback in the
existing tech?

Thank you.

Roy

Intuition is a skill that is not addressed on existing OT levels, except on
the old OT VI that dropped out of use in 1978. Logical focus is a
requirement of the training and processing of these levels.

What I am saying is that in all cases of advanced OTs I have measured, seen
measured, and heard of being measured on EEG had excellent control of
rational Beta, badly below average Alpha with no control of it at all,
suggesting damaged intuition, and Delta way way off the chart of any person
measured not in deep somnambulistic hypnosis.

Where I have seen an advanced OT do honest work on exercises designed to be
relevant to developing intuition, they generally can learn them quicker and
run into less mental barriers than non OTs. This suggests to me that to
refer to a state which includes "intuition" is like referring to a state
that includes "piano performance", when both are skills that can be worked
for easier in some states than others, but neither is part of any
particular state.

Claiming that a state gives a skill reminds me of a piano tuner that
claimed he needed no training as God gave him the gift of tuning pianos.
He did a very poor job.

There is a dangerous drawback in the existing "OT" tech, namely, that
personal responsibility for creation of the phenomena is not addressed.

That is interesting.

As I make progress, I've come to realise that both logic and intuition
are most valuable and that it is advantageous to develop both.

If you look at it from a Chinese point of view, logic and intuition
could represent the yang and yin characteristics. Both equally valuable
- and very valuable to each other because for one to operate well, it
require the other.

Yang represents the idea of form - something that is firm and takes a
stance. Yin represents the idea of something that is receptive - it is
able to receive the form. For one to exist satisfactorily and well - it needs the other.
What one can't do, the other can - and thus the whole spectrum of life gets covered.

How interesting - particularly so because I have found that as my
understanding of responsibility increases, so my abilities and my
ability to learn abilities does exponentially too.

Furthering my understanding of responsibility seems to be the key to
many doors - doors I never knew I even had. This growing understanding
makes life increasingly wonderful and is giving me certainty in many
areas where I desire it.

Rowland,

Recently I've read a number of opinions regarding skin resistance in various
mind states.

Do you think it's possible to measure the daily mean resistance along a
large period of time (months or years) and by that to actually monitor the
case gains ?
What would be the expected resistance tendency ?
What instrument should be used for that - would a regular Ohm-Meter be
enough ?

Are there any other parameters (like electrical capacity for example) which
are known to be affected by mental mass ?

I believe that if such monitoring is fisible, than it may serve as an
objective tool in many types of Psycho Analysis & Processings, both
orthodox and nonorthodox methods.
What do you think ?

I don't think there is any useful way to monitor this, as there is no
correct range. A person when chopping wood would be in a very different
range than when meditating. If he they spent 3 months composing music,
there would be a resistance trend influenced by the music. There is a
popular resistance range for the specific situation of someone involved in
negative gain processing, and this is the most popular because most meters
malfunction if the range is high;.

Meters made by Volney Matheison in 1952, and the ones I make now don't have
this major problem.

The test is simple. Connect a person to the meter, turn the TA right up,
and measure the voltage. If it goes above 1 volt, it simply won't work in
a high range, an a mythology has to be developed to explain why the PC is
the problem. Ability meters are brilliant in "normal" range, but like Cof$
meters go way up to 6 volts in a high range, so for simple biological
reasons the meter has to become useless at that range.

Another major reason why resistance trend doesn't say much is that across
two hands is measuring the average responses of two brain halves, and if
the person needs processing, the two hemispheres don't work the same, and
there is often great variation in resistance between the body sides.

You would need an EEG connected to a computer plus resistance measurement
for both body sides to give useful information of the sort you want. You
can buy such equipment for less then the price of a Cof$ meter.

Dear Trommers,

Recently I saw a lot of interesting traffic regarding Level 5 completion.
Since I'm a beginner in TROM and therefore I also have a lot of unknown
points regarding the gains which may be achieved using TROM, I had the
following idea:

What do you think about creating an "Achievements Questionnaire" that would
be filled by all TROM practitioners that are willing to participate.

Such a Questionnaire would serve several purposes:

 1. Help TROM practitioners by allowing them to know what gains they are
expected to achieve in the coming levels and therefore enhance their
persistence and avoid premature abandonment.
 2. Help establish fertile cooperation among Trommers that are on the same
level and are therefore confronting similar problems.
 3. Provide very precious information to TROM novices and occasional readers.

This Questionnaire would be updated regularly and will be available on the
Home Page.
It may be formulated as an Excel Spreadsheet that will be distributed to
the Trommers, filled out and returned to the administrator which will
perform some brief calculations summarize all data and update the Global Form.

Some common data resulting from it may be:
 1. The number of active Trommers.
 2. The distribution of them among the various levels.
 3. The mean amount of time (hours) spent on each level.
 4. The ratio between RI and Processing on each level.
 5. Achievements per Level - A mark from one to ten to the following
categories:
 5.1 Problems handling
 5.2 Happiness
 5.3 Nervousness / Piece of mind
 5.4 Relationships Handling
 5.5 Communication
 5.6 Disturbance by desires (Sexual, Material ...)
 5.7 Awareness
 5.8 Sleep quality
 5.9 Health
 5.10 Interest in Life
 5.11 Participation in Life activities
 5.12 Maybe even new abilities like Telephaty or so if they will be relevant.

In addition, there will be a list of E-Mail addresses per level.
This list will be updated every time when a participant will announce he
moved from a level to another.


The above are only my modest opinions but I think that the implementation

What do You think ?

Dear Nori,

Wow, this is pretty ambitious. I would certainly participate if someone
wanted to organise it. I like your enthusiasm. :-))

Dear Trommers,

Recently I saw a lot of interesting traffic regarding Level 5 completion.
Since I'm a beginner in TROM and therefore I also have a lot of unknown
points regarding the gains which may be achieved using TROM, I had the
following idea:

What do you think about creating an "Achievements Questionnaire" that would
be filled by all TROM practitioners that are willing to participate.

Such a Questionnaire would serve several purposes:

1. Help TROM practitioners by allowing them to know what gains they are
expected to achieve in the coming levels and therefore enhance their
persistence and avoid premature abandonment.
2. Help establish fertile cooperation among Trommers that are on the same
level and are therefore confronting similar problems.
3. Provide very precious information to TROM novices and occasional
readers.

This Questionnaire would be updated regularly and will be available on the
Home Page.
It may be formulated as an Excel Spreadsheet that will be distributed to the
Trommers, filled out and returned to the administrator which will perform
some brief calculations summarize all data and update the Global Form.

Some common data resulting from it may be:
1. The number of active Trommers.
2. The distribution of them among the various levels.
3. The mean amount of time (hours) spent on each level.
4. The ratio between RI and Processing on each level.
5. Achievements per Level - A mark from one to ten to the following
categories:
5.1 Problems handling
5.2 Happiness
5.3 Nervousness / Piece of mind
5.4 Relationships Handling
5.5 Communication
5.6 Disturbance by desires (Sexual, Material ...)
5.7 Awareness
5.8 Sleep quality
5.9 Health
5.10 Interest in Life
5.11 Participation in Life activities
5.12 Maybe even new abilities like Telephaty or so if they will be
relevant.

In addition, there will be a list of E-Mail addresses per level.
This list will be updated every time when a participant will announce he
moved from a level to another.


The above are only my modest opinions but I think that the implementation
and maintenance of such an information service is not impossible and it will
contribute a lot to Trommers in particular and mankind in general, thus
helping to expand it's usage and therefore serve Dennis's wish to "create a
civilization on this planet of which we can be truly proud".

What do You think ?

Nori.

I can unreservedly recommend Ability Meters. I've had mine about 6
years and it is so easy to use. Its automatic reset means you have to
pay no attention to the meters operation whilst you are working, as it
centres itself automatically. Its wonderful.
