Homer Wilson Smith 4/29/93 Ithaca, NY ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ CLEARING TECHNOLOGY Clearing Technology is a coalescence of the methods, codes, practices and techniques used by Clearing Practitioners around the world. Clearing Technology is a growing collection of experimental and established therapeutic techniques designed to help people locate, contact, confront, relive (revivify) and release otherwise hidden moments of suppressed anguish, pain, anger, fear, sorrow and apathy resulting from loss, death, departure, reversal and other trauma in their lives, with the resulting healing of their body, heart, mind and soul from self imposed psychotraumatic conditions created by the being to deal with the trauma. It is a collection of highly tested and testable practical techniques by which a person can improve their own life in their own estimation, by handling in a permanent fashion, self imposed barriers of body, heart, mind and soul. Clearing is a Technology in the sense of a body of techniques. Technology 2.) the application of knowledge for practical ends, as in a particular field, e.g. educational Technology. (From Greek, technologia, systematic treatment.) Technique 2.) the body of specialized procedures and methods used in any specific field of endeavor, 3.) technical skill; the ability to apply procedures or methods so as to effect a desired result. (From Greek, techne, art or craft.) Both definitions are taken from The Random House College Dictionary, Copyright 1975. Clearing Technology is a quickly growing subject of great richness and diversity. By forming this group we wish to aid in the survival of those who would see Clearing Technology OF ANY KIND grow and expand into a respectable subject, freely available and of benefit to all on a world wide basis, independent of race, creed, color, religion, national origin or sexual preference. We also wish the subject to be openly available to investigation by anyone interested in doing so. There is much discussion on alt.clearing.technology as to whether Clearing Technology is a science, a religion, or a science of religion. Because Clearing Technology deals with the repair of the human body, heart, mind and soul from psychic influences it is classified as a religion. However its methods are those of science, so it is also a science. Although the matter is open to debate, the aims of Clearing Technology are clearly Religious in nature, and its methods, being based on observation, hypothesis and experiment, are clearly Scientific in nature. Clearing Technology is a Scientific approach to Religion, as best it can be, given the nature of the subject under study. In any case Clearing Technology is certainly a BODY OF TECHNIQUE whose application to oneself gives rise to long term desirable end results in one's self, in one's own estimation. One more point, the people who come into Clearing Technology almost always HAVE a religion firmly in place, even if it is the religion of no religion. These people are not looking for a new religion, and they are certainly not interested in being forced to change their religion or HAVE a religion. Most of them also consider that it would be improper or heretical to follow two religions at once. Thus, since Clearing Tech is of great benefit to all people regardless of what religious beliefs they hold, it is imperative that Clearing Tech NOT be considered an independent religion of its own lest it drive away ALL of its members. However by declaring Clearing Tech a merely secular activity, it loses the protection afforded to those things which are covered by our Constitutional rights to freedom of religion and its practice. Thus declared, Clearing Technology would be left open to suppressive interference by government, medical, and psychiatric agencies. Since Clearing Technology flies in the face of the financial and control interests of the governmental, medical and psychiatric professions, it has come under no small measure of attack. Thus many Clearing Practitioners have solved this dilemma by shielding their practice of Clearing Technology under the umbrella of their own legally established but personal Churches, usually of whatever denomination they were brought up in. Anyone can start a personal Church, and might consider doing so if they intend to practice Clearing Tech in a serious manner. You don't HAVE to take the tax breaks offered to religions, which will keep the IRS off your back. Thus Christians, Jews, Muslims, and anyone else can offer Clearing Technology to their parishioners without offending them with 'other' religions, and still maintain the protection offered in the free world by the sanctity of the Church to Spiritual Counseling. Clearing technology is thus a generic religion, it is the operating manual if the GodSoul. PURPOSE AND CHARTER: This newsgroup will, 1.)

Homer ********************************************************************** ********************************************************************** CLEAR-L CLEAR-L@lightlink.com Copyright (C) 1993 Homer Wilson Smith Dear People, I have formed a new mailing list called CLEAR-L which is gatewayed to a.c.t. This will allow those who are not able to receive a.c.t to get quality pro Clearing tech postings from those who wish to share their tech and their experiences. Anyone may sign up to CLEAR-L, even if you don't intend to post, and even if you get a.c.t. This means that you will receive in your mailbox postings that will also go to a.c.t. If you post cow pies, dharma treason, hostile noise or pure stupidity to CLEAR-L I will remove you. You will be given one warning, if you do it again you are off the list for good. I am the sole judge and only authority in this matter. Bluntly, CLEAR-L is a tyranny of one, me. After one warning, if you get bounced, you get bounced for GOOD. You may subscribe to CLEAR-L by going to: http://mailman.lightlink.com You may post to CLEAR-L by sending your posting in a mail file to, CLEAR-L@mailman.lightlink.com Your subscription to CLEAR-L is confidential, no one can find out who is subscribed except myself. If you don't trust me, you are out of luck. You can not subscribe using an anonymous id, I wish you could, but its not presently feasible. Subscribing to CLEAR-L alone does not endanger your anonymity, however posting to CLEAR-L will. I will however be posting most of my primary postings to a.c.t via CLEAR-L. Of course discussion will take place on a.c.t as usual. If the noise level on a.c.t can be kept to a minimum perhaps we can consider making it a two way gateway between CLEAR-L and a.c.t. Homer
