.ce Clear and looking


Clearing is about looking. We put attention on something that isn't fully being looked at and
we keep looking at it until we achieve an increased ability to look at that area. That is about
the most basic thing one can say about the process of clearing.

The pre-requisite to looking is the ability and willingness to look. A new preclear only has this
partially. However, if he is sitting the chair on his own volition we can safely assume that he
has some willingness and ability to look - enough to get started.

The first thing we usually do in clearing is to handle the things the pc can't help but looking at.
That is, his current major restimulated areas of charge. That is a life repair.

The structured part of the lower grades deal with the various aspects of case that stop the pc
from freely looking. That is exactly why we run those grades first and not all sorts of other
things. Each one addresses a major area not just of no-looking, but of inability-to-look.

¥ Drug handling gets the pc out of being stuck in drug incidents and the need of drugs to be
able to look. He is more likely to look at what is really there after that.
¥ Recall processes establishes for the pc that it is safe to recall the past and that it can even
be good for him.
¥ Communication addresses the inability to interact conceptually with certain people and
subjects.
¥ Objectives re-establish the ability to look at what is actually there in the physical universe.
¥ Problems resolves the ability to finish looking at something and not be stuck in it.
¥ Withholds addresses the unwillingness to look at things one didn't think one handled well.
¥ Changes are addressed so that the pc can be able to change based on what he sees.
¥ Service computations are a direct method of not looking, so they also have to go.
¥ Power is run to blow apart stuckness in looking from some other place and time than here.
¥ Incidents are run to get the pc to look at what is going on instead of using old programs.
¥ Valences are also something the pc uses to avoid looking from his own viewpoint.

Most of these things are likely to be out on a new pc. He hasn't run them yet and hasn't had
his reasons for not looking handled.

To put it a different way: Most of what we do on lower grades is to handle the reasons why
clearing wouldn't work on the guy. He is not likely to be a model pc before we have handled
all these things. We address what is wrong with the guy in terms of ability to be cleared.

The state of clear is basically when the person realizes that he can freely look for himself.
There are now no blocks to the actual clearing process. It is sort of ironic that once we get him
able to run real well he is clear.

The grades are put together in such an order and with such styles of clearing that the pc's
blocks won't present much of a problem. His overts won't kick in if we only ask him to
remember nice things. His service facs aren't likely to cause much trouble if we just ask him
to talk, and so forth.

This illusion will however only hold for a typical pc. It is the ideal arrangement for the average
of all cases. But there are many exceptions. Skillful use of those major resistance factors in
clearing will produce much better results than a rote application of grades.

A pc might very well not communicate because of service facs, or not recall anything because
he is out of touch with physical reality, or he might not want clearing to work because he is
afraid of changing.

Any of the grade subjects or other resistive points might have to be applied right away to get
the pc going at all. They might also have to be applied as necessary anywhere else to get
him completely through it.

It is sort of a catch 22. If the pc did have service facs that kept him from communicating he
might not finish the communication grade completely before they are run. But, he might not
be up to taking responsibility for service facs yet because he hasn't run the problems grade,
which he can't run before communciation is complete.

All that really means is that the practitioner is required to think with his tech. He must observe
what is in the way and use the correct process for the job. Clearing practitioners have to look
too and they don't have any excuse not to.

So, one way or another we get the pc through all the major areas that stop him from looking
and clearing what is there, and then we have a clear.

The state of clear is that the person can freely look, that he is willing to experience whatever
is there, without involuntary reactions. This doesn't in any way mean that we are done with
clearing. It just means that now we can really get started. Now we can really hunt down some
things to look at without worrying much about if the pc can handle it.

A clear should be able to get gains on just about any process question. With a pre-clear we
have to be more careful to ask the right questions. Many processes would hit against his
unhandled resistive points and therefore "don't work".

Learning implies Learning with Certainty or Learning without Certainty.
Learning across a Distance implies Learning by Being an Effect.
Learning by Being an Effect implies Learning without Certainty.
Therefore, Learning with Certainty implies Learning, but 
not by Being an Effect, and not across a Distance.
