Paul giving a session

List1: Clear and Groove In

AUDIO: "OK. Follow the instructions to the right of the screen."

Response Options:

I've familiar with how this works and I'm ready to do the list by the usual method

I'm EXTREMELY upset. Let's do the list by Method 5 Assessment

Shutting down | Don't want to continue | Realization

Write on Report:

Write the time at the start of the list

Write the prefix, such as "Recently...," or "In this session...," or . . .
Write the question number you are taking up and any comments
For example:

10:43 am
List1 Recently
Q3.

Notes:

List1 is for auditing upsets only

Unlike the L1C, List1 won't work for general upsets as the questions are aimed at trouble with auditing only.

List prefix

Write down and bear in mind the list prefix. Examples: Generally (i.e., with no prefix) | "Recently" | "Regarding my auditing with Mary" | "In this session"

Use only one prefix per list, the same prefix with each question. Obviously, PaulsRobot cannot state all the possible prefixes. Rather than using only the bare question, i.e., with no prefix, each question starts with a "_____", and you will have to mentally substitute whatever limiting prefix you are using for that particular session.

Other procedural points

  • List1 is usually done starting at Question 1 (Q01) and going down the list, taking up each "reading" question at the time it bites. By "reading" is meant there is some emotional charge that impinges on you, some shift in the mind that you notice as soon as you realize the meaning of the question.
  • Try and handle each (charged) line fully, only going earlier similar if it is really needed. Don't quickie it, but also don't try looking for more stuff than is there. Once a question has been answered fully, continue on down the list.
  • Often the upset will be handled before all the questions have been asked. In this case the list is considered complete, as the purpose of doing it has been achieved.
  • After you have noted a response in your mind to the question, there is an option to "check ownership." Do so or not at your choice — there isn't a "right" way to do it. This is not part of the 1963 original, so if you want to be a purist just skip it.
  • On your worksheets, write brief notes of what comes up. At the end of handling a line, write something to show that it is done, or abandoned, or whatever. Examples might be "VGIs" (very good indicators), "GIs" (good indicators), "BIs" (bad indicators), "VBIs" (very bad indicators), "bogged," "going well now," "question abandoned," etc.
