Treylotz: Reply to Meter Reads Film Critique No. 2

I really liked the graphics, you are doing a great job here. I can really see how this would be huge project to take on.

I thought that the Fns were not smoothly flowing and didn't always move from right to left at the same speed, and seemed to have little hitches or hangups in them, I think a realistic FN is more smoothly flowing.

I thought the tick looked more like a small fall, not 1/8" but 1/4"

The sound at the end of each read I would think should be less loud compared to the background music, it is a little jarring. I thought the other critiques I read here, Randy and Pat's were useful.

Your work is much appreciated!

Love,

Trey

Good morning Trey,

I thought you'd get a kick out of this. Jenny, remember Jenny? This week she asked ME (her nemesis) for yr name and phone number. HA! Betty is driving her nuts & she can see Betty has no effect whatsoever on me. I no longer introvert. Betty will call me "stupid" and I'll say, "That's MIZZZ Stupid to you!!" and she'll laff. I've always had a huge button on a 1.1 and it's gone!! I ENJOY the tone level now. HA!

This has been an amazing week. One day it was pretty quiet at work & we were all working away at our desks. I began whistling. A short time later I realized 4 other people were also whistling, including our extremely quiet file clerk. No one in our office whistles. HA! The whole group was just having a good ol' time.

Tues morn when I woke up I was lying on my back and reached over & felt the bump on my tit. I thot, "wow, it's really gotten small" and then I thot, "my tit has shrunk" and then I realized my hand was really small and then the finale....my whole body was about 2 inches long!

Also, in the last couple of weeks, I've stopped being 'me'. It's hard to describe. I'm just not myself anymore. I'm not anyone else either unless I want to be. Remember when I told you about the time I was just standing there looking at the garden and I had no identity? Like that. I just am. I'm aware of being aware. Kinda like a cat or a dog. No sense of self, I just exist. That kicked in after the first question on the last Rundown. What a feeling of expansion. An identity ties one down. I have reality on that now.

One other thing. Something has moved off & I have begun getting things done. Nothing major, just not putting actions off anymore.

My stop has been, if it wasn't fun I didn't want to do it. Surviving wasn't fun. HAHAHAHA!! Having to take care of a body wasn't fun. Having to exercise was just pain! HAHAHAHAAA!! Somewhere along the line I decided dying was better than continuing because there was no more fun in it. HAHAHAHA!!

Love
Kate,

Trey Lotz - Shirley's L-12 Win

Shirley is a good friend that I have known for over 40 years.

She is a highly experienced and competent C/S and auditor
who had been inactive in tech for a decade.

Last year I audited her on L11.

Shirley was so inspired by her own wins, that she decided
to start auditing again, and soon got her first pc.

When I was back East recently visiting family,
I did her L12. She wrote a great success story, then
a month later, wrote a follow up about her life wins
since finishing:

L12 is the most amazing rundown.

Not only do I have the ability to be or not be on all dynamics,
but I can be just me, a static.

I have rediscovered the joy of creating. I can look at all universes-as a
static or as a participant in games-not games conditions.

As an artist, I have unblocked my flows. As an auditor I am helping
my pcs Win Win Win, as never before.

My unending love and admiration for Trey, the finest of beings, a friend and
auditor extraordinaire, and a most amazing OT!

THANK YOU LRH for this marvelous tech!

Love,

Shirley

LIfe since L12-My joy is infinite!

A friend of mine told me she could feel the auditing that I received, and that the auditing
I'm doing on my pcs has helped her resolve conditions in her life too.

I have 2 pcs now and they are having big wins!
I just get up every day and feel so happy and serene.

Games are fun, snags are easily solved.
Thank you LRH and Trey for giving me this marvelous tech.

Love,

Shirley

Trey Lotz-Time Track and Trauma

|Topic=Trauma and the Time Track
|Author=Trey Lotz
|Website=http://scientolipedia.org//index.php?title=Trey_Lotz
}}
The time track of a person is made up of all of the things that a person has experienced in their life. Most of these experiences are benign, but some are traumatic. These traumatic experiences negatively affect a person's ability to think rationally and make good decisions about the areas associated with the trauma. I would like to share what I have learned about how to reduce the ability of these traumatic experiences to negatively impact a person's life.

As a being accumulates experience, that experience is placed in the context of time, is compared with other similar experiences and is, to that degree, understood.

The time track has along it various decisions that a person has made that shape the course of future action and experience. For example, 'now I am going to go to college,' 'now I am going to work as a salesman,' 'now I am going to stop working as a salesman' and so on. This could be understood as the being putting in place an operating basis which continues until it is stopped, changed, or a new one started.
= mind's computer =
In that way the mind is like a computer running an operating system. You can't run a new operating system until the old one has been deleted. These kinds of programs are known to the person, and are things that the person can easily change. This is not what causes a person trouble.

When experience is too chaotic, painful, or disturbing, it is not understood at the time it happens, but is filed away to be sorted out later. It is an important experience because it occurred at a time when survival was threatened, but it is also hard to confront because the stored experience also contains the pain or upset that made it difficult to deal with in the first place.

Embedded in these difficult experiences are also decisions which shaped future behavior and reactions, but these decisions are not normally accessible to the person so they are difficult to counteract, even when one is aware of the self defeating behavior and emotions generated by them. It is this kind of mental programming that ruins someone's life and causes them to act irrationally.

= discharging trauma =
Discharging an incident allows a person to become aware of what was decided and why. That individual is then able to see these decisions in context and to reevaluate them as to their actual survival value. This allows the person the freedom to accept, discard, or change that decision, or to make a new one based on how having a better understanding.

= freedom of choice =
All freedom is freedom of choice.

So often a person's life is limited by what they are avoiding, what they can't deal with, and
what they can't do. Traumatic experience tends to generalize, and the bad experiences one has had can eventually end up coloring large areas of life in a negative way.
A person will avoid an area of pain, and when that area of pain becomes broad, a person starts to withdraw and avoids life itself.

People become fearful, angry, sad, or apathetic as a fixed response to the environment.
That response was appropriate at one time, but becomes generalized and gets inappropriately applied to things that have no connection to the original experience. The chronic emotional reactions of a person has, as its source, some experiences that are partially or fully unknown to the person. These are events
that the person has never fully understood or come to terms with. This stored misemotion keeps a person continuously or periodically experiencing the upset of the original incident.

Since these responses are fixed by past conclusions and decisions, a person's ability to freely choose in present time is reduced. The past is dragged into the present and greatly complicates the ability of a person to deal with it successfully.

For example, if a person has decided, 'I'll always be poor' or 'I'm not smart enough' or 'Men always leave you' or 'You can't trust women', these decisions will tend to become self fulfilling prophesies. A person could say that these decisions were based on 'reality' or that other people led them to believe these things were true. Nevertheless, the thing that holds these things into place is that a person has decided for themselves that these were truths, or they have agreed that they were truths even if these ideas originally came from someone else. In the end, all programming is self programming. A person has said 'it is so,' and so it is.

The goal in discharging these traumatic experiences is restoring a person's ability to confront the harmful force, pain, loss and upset contained in these incidents. Coming to terms with the past leaves a person at peace. Once a person can fully confront painful experiences, they are no longer
bothered by or controlled by painful experiences. When a person becomes comfortable with past experience, the past truly becomes the past.

= confront =
The confront of pain is the make break point of any being. Those that can confront pain have freedom of choice. Those that cannot confront pain are controlled by it.

= communication =
All therapies that have as their goal getting rid of unwanted emotions and reactions deal with this exact mechanism. No matter what terms or techniques are used to describe or address these things, everyone has these same factors of the mind in play. One of the biggest fears that a person can have is that their future will resemble their past. There is no reason for this to be so. The only power the past has to shape the future is the power you give it by not letting it go.

In my experience, creating a safe space and using communication to help sort things out, is the best way to help a person overcome repeating destructive patterns.

Once a person has shed the shackles of the past, there is no reason why a they cannot create the future they truly want.

These traumatic experiences negatively affect a person's ability to think rationally and make good decisions about the areas associated with the trauma. I would like to share what I have learned about how to reduce the ability of these traumatic experiences to negatively impact a person's life.

As a being accumulates experience, that experience is placed in the context of time, is compared with other similar experiences and is, to that degree, understood.

The time track has along it various decisions that a person has made that shape the course of future action and experience. For example, 'now I am going to go to college,' 'now I am going to work as a salesman,' 'now I am going to stop working as a salesman' and so on. This could be understood as the being putting in place an operating basis which continues until it is stopped, changed, or a new one started.
= minds computer =
In that way the mind is like a computer running an operating system. You can't run a new operating system until the old one has been deleted. These kinds of programs are known to the person, and are things that the person can change his mind about fairly easily. These are not the things that cause a person trouble.

When experience is too chaotic, painful, or disturbing, it is not understood at the time it happens, but is filed away to be sorted out later. It is important experience because it occurred at a time when survival was threatened, but it is also hard to confront because the stored experience also contains the pain or upset that made it difficult to deal with in the first place.

Embedded in these difficult experiences are also decisions which shaped future behavior and reactions, but these decisions are not normally accessible to the person so they are difficult to counteract, even when one is aware of the self defeating behavior and emotions generated by them. It is this kind of mental programming that may be ruining the person's life and causing him to act irrationally.

= discharging trauma =
Discharging these negative experiences requires a safe space and a supportive format where a person can contact the content of these painful experiences and become fully aware of their content, including any decisions that were part of the original incident. Often these decisions and conclusions are true and correct, but only for that particular incident. The problem comes when these reactions become automatic and generalized to all, or most of life. Discharging an incident allows a person to become aware of what was decided and why it was decided.
A person is then is able to see these decisions in context and to reevaluate them as to their actual survival value. A person then becomes free to accept, discard, or change that decision, or to make a new one
based on now having a better understanding of things.

= freedom of choice =
All freedom is freedom of choice.

So often a person's life is limited by what they are avoiding, what they can't deal with, and
what they can't do. Traumatic experience tends to generalize, and the bad experiences one has had can eventually end up coloring large areas of life in a negative way.
A person will avoid an area of pain, and when that area of pain becomes broad, a person starts to withdraw and avoids life itself.

People become fearful, angry, sad, or apathetic as a fixed response to the environment.
That response was appropriate at one time, but becomes generalized and gets inappropriately applied to things that have no connection to the original experience. The chronic emotional reactions of a person has, as its source, some experiences that are partially or fully unknown to the person. These are events
that the person has never fully understood or come to terms with. This stored misemotion keeps a person continuously or periodically experiencing the upset of the original incident.

Since these responses are fixed by past conclusions and decisions, a person's ability to freely choose in present time is reduced. The past is dragged into the present and greatly complicates the ability of a person to deal with it successfully.

The goal in discharging these traumatic experiences is restoring a person's ability to confront the harmful force, pain, loss and upset contained in these incidents. Coming to terms with the past leaves a person at peace. Once a person can fully confront painful experiences, they are no longer
bothered by or controlled by painful experiences. When a person becomes comfortable with past experience, the past truly becomes the past.

= confront =
The confront of pain is the make break point of any being. Those that can confront pain have freedom of choice. Those that cannot confront pain are controlled by it.

= communication =
All therapies that have as their goal getting rid of unwanted emotions and reactions deal with this exact mechanism. No matter what terms or techniques are used to describe or address these things, everyone has these same factors of the mind in play. One of the biggest fears that a person can have is that their future will resemble their past. There is no reason for this to be so. The only power the past has to shape your future is the power you give it by not letting it go.

In my experience, creating a safe space and using communication to help a person sort things out, is the best way to help a person overcome repeating destructive patterns.

Once a person has shed the shackles of the past, there is no reason why a they cannot create the future they truly want.

The time track of a person is made up of all of the things that a person has experienced in their life. Most of these experiences are benign, but some are traumatic. These traumatic experiences negatively affect a person's ability to think rationally and make good decisions about the areas associated with the trauma. I would like to share what I have learned about how to reduce the ability of these traumatic experiences to negatively impact the person's life.

As a being accumulates experience, that experience is placed in the context of time, is compared with other similar experiences and is, to that degree, understood.

The time track has along it various decisions that the person has made that shape the course of future experience. For example, 'now I am going to go to college,' 'now I am going to work as a salesman,' 'now I am going to stop working as a salesman' and so on. This could be understood as the being putting in place an operating basis which continues until it is stopped, changed, ended, or a new one started.

These kinds of programs are known to the person, and are things that the person can change his mind about fairly easily. These are not the things that cause a person trouble.

When experience is too chaotic, painful, or disturbing, it is not understood at the time it happens, but is filed away to be sorted out later. It is important experience because it occurred at a time when survival was threatened, but it is also hard to confront because the stored experience also contains the pain or upset that made it difficult to deal with in the first place.

Embedded in these difficult experiences are also decisions which shaped future reactions, but these decisions are not normally accessible to the person so they are difficult to counteract, even when one is aware of the self defeating behavior and emotions that may be ruining the person.

The confront of pain is the make break point of any being. Those that can confront pain have freedom of choice. Those that cannot confront pain are controlled by it. They also end up being controlled by things that remind them of painful things, things that might be painful, etc etc.

It's an old truism that those that are afraid to die, are afraid to live.
= communication =
Any and all therapies that deal with getting rid of emotions and reactions that the person doesn't want deals with this exact mechanism, no matter what terms are used to describe it. The common denominator of all therapies that actually help people is that they use communication to put the person at cause over these factors. The common denominator of all destructive
therapies is that they use force, drugs, or hypnotism to put the person further at effect.

Differences in the effectiveness of various therapies relate directly to the accuracy of the theory behind the therapy, and the skill and intention of the person applying it.

The time track of a person is made up of all of the things that a person has experienced in their life. Most of these experiences are benign, but some are traumatic. These traumatic experiences negatively affect a person's ability to think rationally and make good decisions about the areas associated with the trauma. I would like to share what I have learned about how to reduce the ability of these traumatic experiences to negatively impact the person's life.

As a being accumulates experience, the experience is placed in the context of time and is, to that degree, understood.

The time track has along it various decisions that have been made that shape the course of future experience. For example, now I am going to go to college, now I am going to work as a salesman, now I am going to stop working as a salesman, etc etc. This could be understood as the being putting in place an operating basis which continues until it is stopped, and a new one started.
= minds computer =
In that way the mind is like a computer running an operating system. You can't run a new operating system until the old one has been deleted. These kinds of programs are known to the person, and are things that the person can change his mind about fairly easily. These are not the things that cause a person trouble.

When experience is too chaotic, painful, or disturbing, it is not understood at the time it happens, but is filed away to be sorted out later. It is important experience because it occurred at a time when survival was threatened, but it is also hard to confront because the stored experience also contains the pain or upset that made it difficult to deal with in the first place.

Embedded in these difficult experiences are also decisions which shaped future reactions, but these decisions are not normally accessible to the person so they are difficult to counteract, even when one is aware of the self defeating behavior and emotions that may be ruining the person.
= discharging trauma =
Discharging these experiences requires a safe space and a supportive format where he can contact the content of these painful experiences and become fully aware of their content, including any decisions that were part of the original incident. Often these decisions and evaluations are true and correct, but only for that particular period of time. The problem comes when these reactions become automatic and generalized to all, or most of life. Discharging an incident allows you to become aware of what was decided and why it was decided.
One then is able to reevaluate these ideas as to their actual survival value. One is then free to accept, discard, or change that decision, or make a new one
based on a better understanding of things.
= freedom of choice =
All freedom is freedom of choice.

So often people's lives are defined by what they are avoiding, what they can't confront, and
what they can't do. Traumatic experience tends to generalize, and the bad experiences one has had can eventually end up coloring large portions of life in a negative way. People become fearful, angry, griefy, sneaky, cynical, etc etc as a fixed response to the environment.
That response was appropriate at one time, but becomes generalized and is inappropriate thereafter. The emotional reactions that the person chronically experiences have, as its source, some experiences that are partially or fully unknown to the person, and are based on experiences
that the person has never fully come to terms with.

Discharging these traumatic experiences has as its goal restoring the ability to confront the harmful force, pain, loss and upset contained in these incidents. You don't have to rub out
all negative experiences, you only have to be able to fully confront them. Once you can fully confront painful experiences, you are no longer
bothered by or controlled by painful experiences.
= confront =
The confront of pain is the make break point of any being. Those that can confront pain have freedom of choice. Those that cannot confront pain are controlled by it. They also end up being controlled by things that remind them of painful things, things that might be painful, etc etc.

It's an old truism that those that are afraid to die, are afraid to live.

Any and all therapies that deal with getting rid of emotions and reactions that the person doesn't want deals with this exact mechanism, no matter what terms are used to describe it. The common denominator of all therapies that actually help people is that they use communication to put the person at cause over these factors. The common denominator of all destructive
therapies is that they use force, drugs, or hypnotism to put the person further at effect.

Differences in the effectiveness of various therapies relate directly to the accuracy of the theory behind the therapy, and the skill and intention of the person applying it.
