     This is issued at this time because it is foreseen that any type of
mental therapy will become exceedingly illegal sometime in the next few
years.  The powers that be want people to become upset and unable to act
against them.  Also usable in prisons.  Raises IQ among other things.
 
     RULE ONE.  When you are helping someone, the help sessions should
look like casual conversation.
 
     RULE TWO. If the person you are helping suddenly laughs at some
stupidity of his own that he suddenly remembers, have a joke ready to
tell others if they want to know what he is laughing about.
 
     ((Whad'ya do if the bloke starts cryin' his eyes out, and THEN
starts rolling on the floor laughing, and then starts crying again, and
then starts laughing again...))
 
     In case of upset between you and the guy you are trying to help,
whether that upset came up after you started or was already in place,
ask the following questions in sequence.  Go over the entire list
several times until the upset is fully gone.  Let your friend ask them
of you next if he wishes to.  Answers do not have to be made out loud
when they can be overheard or you are worried about being bugged.
 
     Preface each question with "Think of..." or "Tell me..."
 
     ... whether I have done something wrong.
     ... what I have done wrong.
     ... when that was.
     ... where that was.
     ... how it seems to you now.
 
     ... whether you have done something wrong.
     ... what you did wrong.
     ... when that was.
     ... where that was.
     ... how it seems to you now.
 
     This is for use when you are trying to handle an upset between your
friend and some other person.  Go over and over the list till the upset
vanishes.
 
     ... what he did to you.
     ... what you did to him.
     ... what you withheld from him.
     ... what he withheld from you.
 
     ((This last question is non trivial.))
 
     The following is for a problem whether solvable or not.
 
     ((The idea of this process is to disenturbulate the bank on the
subject of the problem, so that the person can HAVE the problem without
upset.  Then he will be more able to deal with its many facets and be
better able to solve it or live with it if he can't solve it.))
 
     First think of how that problem could be worse.
 
     Then run over and over again until no longer CONCERNED over the
problem,
 
     Invent a problem as big as THAT problem.
     How could that problem be worse?
     Invent a problem as big as THAT problem.
     How could that problem be worse?
     etc.
 
     ((In other words, take the original problem, and invent a way this
problem could be worse.  Then invent a new problem as big as this worse
problem.  Then invent a way this new problem could be worse.  Then
invent a new problem as big as this worse problem.  Etc.))
 
     When you want to handle some disability ((sickness, injury
proneness, limitation or mal function)),
 
     Locate,
 
     A decision or belief that led to that disability.
     Reasons for making that decision.
     Benefits of making that decision.
     Anything hidden about making that decision or by making it.
     Anything held down including yourself by making that decision.
     Anything made wrong or weak by making that decision.
     What would happen if you held on to that decision?
     What would happen if you let go of that decision?
     What if anything is in the way of letting go of that decision?
 
     Repeat this list on whatever is in the way.
 
     To handle emotions, fears, angers, compulsions, habits, mannerisms,
anything that does not result from a decision,
 
     ((It's unclear if there is such a thing.))
 
     Look at something that happened to you to cause you to feel that
say.
     Acknowledge ((who or)) what dumped on you there.
     Feel and acknowledge your resistance to it.
     Take credit for feeling your feelings without giving them any blame
or credit as that gives them power over you.
     Spot an earlier time and do the same thing.
     Spot the earliest time you can and do the same thing.
 
     Look to see if you caused another to feel that way.
     If so get the idea of that person acknowledging being dumped on
((by you)) and acknowledging resisting and then taking credit for the
feelings without blaming you or giving you credit.
     Spot an earlier time if there is one, and do the same thing.
     Spot the earliest time you can and do the same thing.
 
     If you have ever witnessed others dumping on others to cause the
same feelings, repeat for the person dumped on.
 
     If you ever dumped on yourself, go over the same pattern for
yourself.
 
     If someone was made guilty repeat the same pattern as follows:
 
     Spot a time another made you guilty of ......
 
     Acknowledge dumping and your resistance and then take credit for
feeling guilty.  Continue with earlier and earliest.
 
     Spot a time you made another guilty.  Do the same with that.
 
     Spot a time you observed others making others guilty.  Do the same
with that.
 
     Spot a time you made yourself guilty.  Do the same with that.
 
     If the guy is very very complicated, ask these two questions over
and over.
 
     What is real to you?
     What did you do about it?
 
     Continue until you get something getting even realer.
 
     Keep going again until the guy is more relaxed and less
complicated, then use one of the above.
