Great! Let's do the full pre-session check to make sure I'm ready for the session

I'm familiar with what is needed and I am fully sessionable. I've set up the session environment. Let's go!

Lemme outta here!


Explanations

Rudiments

These things are so called because they are sometimes used to get one into shape for the main action of the session. For example, let's say that one wants to address a long-standing fixation about elephants, but right now one's attention is on an argument with the boss yesterday. The rudiments would be used (in Scn) to quickly get the charge associated with the argument out of the way so that one's attention is free to address the elephant topic.

ARC Break

A = Affinity, the degree of liking for someone or something. R = Reality, used in Scn to denote agreement, as well as the outside world. C = Communication. A, R and C together are considered to equate to U, Understanding.

An ARC Break is a sudden drop in affinity, reality, communication or understanding with someone or something. The standard way of handling it in Scn is by examining it and narrowing down its exact nature. Under this scrutiny it will usually drop away.

CDEINR

If the charge does not go away on spotting which of A, R, C or U is involved, then this factor is assessed in turn against each of Curious About, Desired, Enforced, Inhibited, No, Refused. For example, "Was it Curious about Reality?"

MWH definition

Withhold definition

A withhold is something you're not saying, something you're withholding. There does not have to be an overt (harmful act) connected to it. "I'm using PaulsRobot" could be a withhold if you don't want to tell someone.

Miss definition

A withhold is missed at the moment it is restimulated, at the moment it is brought to one's mind. It's an "uh-oh" moment of feeling guilty. Sometimes one wonders if the other person knows about the withhold, but not always. A thief walking down the street and seeing a policeman would get at least one withhold missed at that moment, even though the policeman probably knows nothing about the theft(s).

MWH procedure

The standard way of addressing a missed withhold in Scn auditing is for the person to give up all the details of who, what, when, where etc., and also to spot all the times the withhold was missed. Spotting the misses can bring great relief. Merely "confessing" without also taking the charge off the misses is only doing half the job, however thorough the confession otherwise.

Justifications

Sometimes justifications are asked for and sometimes not. There is an optional question at the appropriate time in the PaulsRobot procedure here.

Key out

A missed withhold, like any rudiment, can also simply key out (disappear from one's attention) by merely looking at it momentarily. If this happens, no further handling is necessary. Some people think it desirable to poke around some more to take off the charge from the misses.

Other rudiments

There are six rudiments that can be addressed under that name: ARC Break, Missed Withhold, Present Time Problem, Overt, Invalidation, Evaluation.

Apart from the first two, they are each handled in the same manner, namely asking "Is there a ___" and if so, getting the details of it. If it does not resolve on giving the details, one is asked if there is an earlier similar _____ , because the charge of the earlier-similar thing may be what is keeping the original thing from resolving. Merely spotting the earlier-similar thing often resolves the question, although it may be necessary to give the details. And there may be even earlier ones too.

L1C

L = list, 1 = a basic level, C = third revision. This is a prepared list, a standard list of possible reasons for an upset. It was originally developed in the 1960s by Alan C. Walter, a Scn research student who had been doing hundreds of repair sessions on other research students. He found that having a list of the different possible causes for an upset markedly speeded up the time needed to locate the exact reasons for the upset.

The possible (general) reasons would be given to the upset person one by one. As soon as a possible reason "bit," the person would spot the fact, and maybe talk a bit about their specific case. Maybe more than one line would apply. Once the upset was resolved, that was the end of the session.

The items in the list were derived empirically, from experience, and replaced a trial-and-error approach.


Ownership

Narrowed attention

Sometimes handling the charge on rudiments or correction lists and even some processes works better when the person concentrates their attention into a particular area of the body or space around them. Do it in this way if it seems like the right thing to do, otherwise just do it generally.

Switch at any time

You can change your mind on this at any time.

Usually in or close around the body

We're usually looking for locations within a few feet of the body, in the area covered by the individual's magnetic (auric) field.

Concentrated or spread out

The charge might be concentrated into a very small area, or spread out over a large part of the body and a few feet (a meter) from it.

Possibly remote instead

It can also happen that one is picking up charge from a remote connection. The mechanics of this are not clear, but it is rarely necessary to identify the source of the charge any more specifically than recognizing that it is not within one's immediate magnetic field, while narrowing one's attention onto it.

Morphic fields etc.

There is also a possibility that some charge resides in a morphic field, and is not localised somewhere. Again, if it seems to apply, put your attention on where it seems to be and work with that, and if not don't.

Misownership

The general idea here is that keeping one's attention focused into the relevant area will help prevent the remaining areas from having a not your item condition.

This is not necessarily important. But misownership may be a possibility if other reasons do not resolve some upset.

Assessing in session

The charge:

  • can be wholly yours,
  • can belong wholly to another or others, or
  • can be shared.
Just poke around a bit if it is a problem. It usually resolves easily.
