DATING There is an interesting way to do dating on a meter if you find the old greater-than, less-than hard to do. Take a piece of paper and draw out a time line, you can do this for this life if you are dating back to conception, or you can do it for the whole track. For the whole track it might look something like 0 10 100 1000 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1000 10,000 100,000 1 mi ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mi 10 mi 100 mi 1 bi ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 bi 10 bi 100 bi 1 tri ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 tri 10 tri 100 tri 1 quad ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 quad 10 quad 100 quad 1 quint ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 mi = 1 million = 1,000,000 1 bi = 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 1 tri = 1 trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 1 quad = 1 quadrillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000 1 quint = 1 quintillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Conceive it as one long line with the numbers spaced evenly along the line even if its wrapped around on many lines as I have show above. Notice the last number on each line is the same as the first number on the next line. Then hold the cans in one hand and a pen in the other and POINT with the pen along the continuous line from 0 to 1 quint. Where the needle reacts hunt around with the pen back and forth in that area until you get an exact blowdown reaction. Mark the line with the pen. THEN figure out what date the point on the line refers to, if you still need to. You can get very exact dating done this way without ever actually getting all the digits of the number. You can also do this when hunting for the next major incident to run in this life, the file clerk will sometimes respond to a pen point when it won't respond to dating. Just make a line and number it from 1998 to 1951 or when ever you were born, or even before by about 10 years if you want to get your last death, and start pointing and mark and take up what reads. For line plots of this life I like to mark the years along the line but then I also mark the beginning and end of each school year, and the beginning and end of each summer. I mark also when my birthday was and how old I was during each period. This makes for a more complex line plot that look slike the following, but its more meaningful for the pen pointing. 12th grade Freshman Sophmore --------------| |--------------| |--------------| 1969 1970 1971 -------|------|-------|------|-------|-------|--------|--------------- Summer Summer at camp in NYC |----------------------|------------------------| 18 years old 19 years old It makes for a complex time line, but if you can get in every year at school, what dorm you were in, who your room mates where, where you went for summer vacations, all the way back to 0 years old, you will have quite a time line. Then you can also mark your major injuries and losses etc. By the way when dating with words during this life I tend to NOT like to date 2 years old, 3 years old etc. THat time line starts at 0 years old which my body doesn't like. So I use 1st year of life, 2nd year of life, 3rd year of life etc. And don't forget conception, the being actually turns 1 year old 9 months before anyone generally gives him a birthday party for it! If you are hunting for early childhood engrams or prenatals in the sticky blackness, you can draw out one year with Jan, Feb Mar etc, and run the pen pointing on that line. You can have one month per line if you want really fine spotting or have them all on the one line if you just want the approximate month something happened. Once you find an area that reads, go before the read and then after the read until the needle finds an area that is NOT reading, and then hone in on the exact point that is reading, back and forth until you narrow it down to a single point. Then mark the point and consider that your answer, if you want to put it into words, come up with an exact answer if you can or an approximate answer if you wish. Don't push it. This is a very powerful dating technique and one that your GE and BT's/clusters can relate to really well as the language thing kind of leaves them hanging.
