Exterior perception
The procedure as originally written has two aims:
- to discharge things that get churned up by the procedure (and one does have to dig in to do this)
- to drill one's ability to spot things directly in the physical universe remote from one in time and/or space.
The original text for this encourages the user to "spot _____ in the physical universe" as opposed to spotting things in one's mind. This instruction is, in my (Paul's) opinion, somewhat far-fetched for someone doing Grade 0. Encouraging this ability, as if anyone could reasonably be expected to do it, is likely to lead only to increasing delusion. So, the option is retained in this process module since this module tries to duplicate the original procedures as much as possible, but it is not particularly stressed.
Singular/plural
- The first command, as given by Hubbard, is something like "Spot some hidden communications" (plural). This can either be in your mind, or in the physical universe. If it is in the physical universe, part of the procedure is to point to "it" and then say how far away "it" seems to be. So although the command asks for communications (plural), these are to be considered as a single group. For example, a cat mewing at a particular time and place might come up in response to the question — it is a group of communications that could be considered to be a unit item, and it is hidden in the sense that a human would probably not really understand it completely.
- If a communication (singular) comes to mind in response to the command, that's fine, go with it.
