6306C26 SHTVD-22 Listing Assessment for Engram Running (Part I]

     Notice the simplicity of this procedure.  [See HCOB 1Jul63 "Routine 3R:
Bulletin 4 -- Preliminary Step for a description of the procedure.] The
difficulties with it are minimal.  The skills of R2-12 are used, the rules of
listing apply, etc.  The key note of any fairly high-level case, and what
makes an incident an incident, is protest.  By protesting, a person shoves his
face towards something.  He attacks it, while he resists it.  This opposition
produces a heavy charge.  But some people aren't up to protest, so we will
assess an 18-button prepcheck list to determine the thing to assess for
engrams.

     [LRH proceeds to assess an 18-button prepcheck (with "created" left out
because it is a goal), with the prefix, "In this lifetime, have you mainly
_______ ?"  He gets a huge list of items, after nulling the 18 buttons down to
"decided".  Lists "In this Lifetime, what have you decided?" to a clean
needle.  Does goals and gains, havingness, and ends off.]

     You just keep listing until the needle is clean without doing anything to
disturb the PC and put ruds out.  You are not looking for R/S's RR's or any
"peculiar needle phenomena".  The next step would be to null the list, "In
this lifetime what have you decided?" to one item.  If this item turns out to
be a goal, it would be run with R3N.  Otherwise, you locate an engram (chain)
that could cause such a decision in life.  Model Session was very simple and
skeletal.  If the PC had not made goals or gains, LRH would have said, "I'm
sorry you didn't make your goals/gains." If he had made some of them, the
acknowledgment would have been both "Thank you," and "Sorry."
