From International Viewpoints (IVy) Issue 8 - September 1992 Personal Integration by Inner Listening by Per SchiÜttz, Denmark Personal Integration by Inner Listening is our latest run-down, and I would like to tell you a little about it and the remarkable results it has given so far. How far it actually will reach is not yet quite known, but until now we haven't seen anything it wouldn't handle. This of course sounds like another "miracle R/D" in the very best church fashion - and yes - it is! At least this is how we experience it. I will tell you a bit about its background and development, the theory and the way it's applied. Background Taoism, one of the oldest philosophies on this planet introduced the dualistic principle - Yin and Yang - which is observable in all later religions and philosophies. They all have concepts like good/bad, light/dark, exteriorization/interiorization etc. etc.. You see it all over the place, also in the physical universe. Up/down, short/long, heavy/light. Yin and Yang is the taoistic way of defining it as a feminine and masculine principle. The masculine side being the side dealing mostly in intellectual thinking, and the feminine side being where you find feelings and intuition. This dualistic principle has been used in almost all forms of therapies and freedom movements which sought to help man get out of the problems he encountered in his life. Problems are two sides, two poles in conflict and therefore follow the rules of the dualistic principle. Ron Hubbard used this in his definition of a problem and also in his formulation and handling of the real life situations causing GPMs which are masses formed in the mind by dualistic viewpoints and efforts in achieving one's goals. Each terminal in the GPM has a survival computation, a Service Facsimile, limiting belief or a fixed idea. His use of the dualistic principle is most clear in the R/D called R6EW where he defines and handles the dualistic principle as dichotomies. On his tapes about Service Facsimiles you can hear how much he stresses finding these fixed ideas. Even to the point where he says that handling fixed ideas substitutes GPM-handling, and that you can't run engrams, itsa-processes or get a high TA down if you are in an area of a fixed idea without handling the fixed idea first. All this is applied to the hilt in Personal Integration. Further background for Personal Integration is found in the book "Right Use of Will, Healing and Evolving the Emotional Body" by Ceanne DeRohan. This is one of the latest books which really applies the Taoistic principle on all dynamics and their situation in present time on this planet. It describes all the effects of suppressing the female part (the feelings). From birth we have free feelings. A baby doesn't limit its feelings. They are expressed without reservations. You can see it in the body movements. A lot of our original feelings got lost up through our childhood because we grew up in a world which has very little understanding for feelings and for their function (sometimes disgust). It has gone so far that feelings are not trusted, they are unwanted to listen to, considered not valid and signs of weakness. At a business meeting you might hear all the very good arguments based on solid statistics, exact calculations and other hard facts. But the person who says: "This contract doesn't -feel- right" is laughed at and not taken seriously at all. Feelings get a bad name, get suppressed, and the feelings don't like this at all. The feminine side gets suppressed by the masculine side and you have a split, imbalanced personality. The person at the business meeting realizes that he gets into trouble when he listens to his feelings. The masculine side forms the fixed idea that "feelings are bad", "feelings are unwanted" or "feelings should be kept out of the way". This causes further suppression of the feelings and intuition. Intellect is masculine or -spirit-. Feelings are feminine or -will-. The book "Right use of Will..." talks about how Will has been suppressed on this planet. It talks about Divine Spirit and also about Divine Will!! If this sounds strange or even bad to you, then this is your own denied and suppressed Will you can feel. You might feel it so strongly that you will not be able to read the book about it. As it says in the introduction: "If this book is for you, you will know it from these few introductory pages". On the other side, if the book is for you, then you are in for some huge surprises that you have never really envisioned - I promise you! I will quote another little paragraph from the introduction to the book: "Because of the separation that has been made in the consciousness of so many, the Will has been excluded for a long time from participating in the evolvement of the Spirit. A definite lag exists on Earth between the evolvement of the Spirit and the evolvement of the individual Will. It is now time for each Spirit to recognize, accept and evolve this other part of itself. Each person must take responsibility for his complete being, and not only for part of it." This book can (and should) be read again and again and again. You find new things every time, and as your reality grows and as you get balance in your own life, your understanding grows with you. The book is not easy to get hold of. Several times we have bought the last stock in Denmark. If you can't get it where you are, then call us and we will mail you one as long as we still have copies. It's out of print, but we still have ways to get copies. If you feel I make it scarce and like a gold mine, then you are quite right. It is issued by: Four Winds Publications 535 Cordova Road, Suite 112 Santa Fe, N.M. 87501, USA Development For us it started some years ago when we found that not all somatics disappeared even though we ran lots of chains. In "Dianetics 55, Dianetics, The Original Thesis" and other materials we studied on the early Dianetic courses it states that you must find the postulate in the basic engram (this is -not- new with NED). It also stated that you had to handle the basic postulate and phrases (omitted in NED). Look at basic postulates like: "Apple trees are dangerous", "I can't get out", "I can't see", "Women are stupid", "Mothers don't understand", "Fathers are rough", "Feelings are a nuisance" etc. etc., these are all Service Facs. But even in the latest forms of Dianetic auditing these are not handled as such. We started to run out the basic postulates as Ser. Fac's, and that helped a lot, but still after having run chains and chains there would be some slight impression of something, an imbalance which didn't give the 100% result. Then we got the book "Right Use of Will..." which gave further viewpoints and the very very important facts about the denied will and lost feelings and intuition. We gave the book to our friend Torben Staal, and he was able to apply it to his knowledge about Taoism. He is an auditor and also teaches Tai Chi. He has studied Taoism (which we haven't) and also a lot of Ron's materials. He used his knowledge in all these fields and worked out a way to handle which became Personal Balancing by Inner Listening, or for short as we use daily Balancing. We work with Torben on issuing the materials about Personal Balancing. The result will be two books. We have issued the first 50 pages as a pack for people to read before they start this R/D. But it is not necessary to read it first, it helps, though. You can audit anyone straight in from the street on this. You don't even need an E-meter. People who have got auditing before catch on to this new R/D almost at once. One or two sessions. New people also get gains right away, but it takes a few more session for them to be stable and to expand their gains themselves in life. The results we have achieved for our public has ranged from finding the correct purpose in life to handling a lifelong somatic. As a final note on the development there is a very interesting fact which is becoming more and more obvious. This is about the appearance of this R/D and many very, very similar. It is a fact that many other people who work with auditing or similar therapy have taken up this idea of polarization in Feminine and Masculine as a platform for handling denied feelings and intuition. It has occurred - simultaneously- here in Denmark, in America, Holland and other places. Flemming Funch, one of our friends in America, has developed almost the same R/D totally independent of what has happened in Denmark. Application This R/D doesn't have a rote procedure. A rote procedure doesn't exist and probably never will be made. This might be bad news for those who need a rote procedure, but they will have so much more fun when they get in contact with the understanding (female side) which in this case has to substitute rote procedure. The auditing style is "Free Style". This means that you will have to be able to apply all the styles, everything you know, and you will not be hanged if you C/S in the chair. You might hang yourself if you don't. The reason for this is that the case will change so fast that you might find that 3 different programs will be used up in half a session. Then what? You make a new one - yes, right there on the spot!! You handle the case in front of you. I will give you an example of how a session could run. It's an average, or generalized session. It's -not- a model session. There are no models. It is taken from my own practice with different things from different persons to get as many of the aspects as possible into one report. But don't take it as a model, and don't think that there isn't more to it. I can't include all possibilities as there are too many. This is how a session could run. PC comes in and is upset from a business meeting. I get him to tell what happened, and he does. What really happened isn't important, but his reaction is. He tells me all about it, enough to get a reaction and I ask where he feels his own reaction. He says that there is a tension and a mass in the heart area. I have him describe it to make it more real and to get it defined as a limited thing, not to have it mixed up with the other reactions he might have from another upset with his wife or boss. We handle one thing at a time, and other reactions might also disappear at the same time - that is just fine. So we get the shape, size, weight, colour, temperature etc. of the thing he feels around the heart. Then we find out what this mass thinks it is helping him with. It is there partly because it thinks it's a help to the PC. It's a solution to something. At times the whole thing has integrated and disappeared at this point, but that is unusual. Next thing we find is which of his integrity parts is being damaged. It could be his communication. Communication is part of the whole of him, and is therefore a part of his integrity. The mass prevents his communication to flow. It feels bad and introverts him. Something must have been done to the communication or it has done something to him. Maybe it embarrased him in situations. We use the 4 magical questions like: What has your communication done which is not OK? What has your communication not done which it ought to? What have you done to your communication which it feels is not OK? What have you not done for your communication which it feels you ought to? This handles overts and overts of omissions between the PC and his integrity part. Any other process could be used as long as the harmful acts are handled between the PC and his integrity part. When a person does something to an integrity part, whether he is motivated for this or not, then the integrity part polarizes into an extreme masculine and an extreme feminine pole. An internal upset arises between these poles. Just like when two people are ARC-broken with each other. This goes on, and the thinking part, the extreme masculine, starts suppressing the feminine part, the feelings. It makes it wrong, makes judgements on it in an attempt to make it shut up. When you have run the 4 magical questions you might have got enough charge off the whole thing for the PC to start confronting the mass and unpleasantness directly. You ask him to take the mass around the heart and put it outside the body and make a personality out of it and describe this personality. He might say that this person is tough, he wants to have rules and regularity and straight well calculated communication, and at the same time is withdrawn, has a hard time confronting others, doesn't want to speak in groups. He has a sour personality. Doesn't know where to stand when opinion is asked. Has a hard time to deside and thinks that life is confusing and therefore tries to shut up himself, too. He names this personality as "The shy one". When you ask him which belief is behind all this you get the Ser. Fac.: "Life is too hard", "You can't win", "Life is confusing", "Feelings get thwarted" or some similar fixed idea. This is now run out as a Ser. Fac. and the first brackets could be "What has (Ser. Fac.) got you into?" "What has (Ser. Fac.) got you out of?" Because this is what the Ser. Fac. does. It gets him into and out of beingnesses, doingnesses and havingnesses. This might handle, but you might also have to run the usual brackets like right/wrong, dominate/escape domination and survive/hinder survival. From his answers earlier you might have spotted how he mainly uses this fixed idea, and then you can use the appropriate button right away. When the Ser. Fac. starts running flat he will be able to begin to see the female pole, so you get him to describe the opposite to "The shy one". He does so and gives you the character of this personality and its outlook on life. Calls it maybe "The happy outgoing one". Find out how the "The shy one" and "The happy outgoing one" helps him. Can he see them both as two sides of the same thing? Sooner or later he can. It's now your job to heal the communication between these two poles and get them to help each other and work together. All kinds of processes can be used to achieve this. This is where you have to C/S in the chair. If you are good at it the integration will occur rather quickly. If you are not, or have just started using this application, then it will take some more time. But it should be completed in one session. You might have to run a 3 way bracket on Help between the female pole and the male pole and the PC. You could run responsibility on the female. It was suppressed out of existence which means it made itself disappear instead of taking responsibility. It was afraid of the consequences or social pressure and therefore went down. The female pole, having been made wrong by the masculine, might have tried to be right, too and therefore also has a Ser. Fac. which has to be found and run. You might find that there is what's called the opposing Ser. Fac. syndrome. Have you ever had a PC who found a Ser. Fac. which was run to an EP, and then came in some days later saying it was wrong? It wasn't wrong, but it restimulated an opposing Ser. Fac. which also has to be found and run out. Example: "I am the greatest" versus "I am the worst". When you have handled all charge on both sides they will integrate and the two poles will "go together" and into the body again this time without forming a mass, tension or stress, and his communication will be healed. The handling will include that he understands that in the future he will have to listen to his Will (feelings and intuition) so that a new polarization doesn't occur. The integration can come quietly and almost without you noticing it. There will be some blow downs and F/Ns if you use a meter, though. It might also come as a huge thing. He comes into PT with a bang, room changes, perceptions come way up, he cries and laughs at the same time, he feels in balance after some minutes and has almost forgotten all the problems, fights, stress, tensions and mass that was there before. He starts looking at the future and how he doesn't have to do anything about it. It's become balanced from his new balanced viewpoint. Next session you might want to ask him about communication and there might be some more to handle on it, yet there might not be and he will give you a long description about his recent progress in that area. I have not yet seen the same subject go more than 3 sessions, and they got shorter and shorter until PC lost interest in the subject and took up a new one. For one who has some training and experience as an auditor it should not take very long to learn this new R/D. We will soon make up a course which probably can be done in one week-end. For persons who have never audited before it will be longer. This we have not yet worked out. We need to complete the materials first, and that will take some time. But for you guys who already have auditor experience, here is some new tools for your kit, and I would not be surprised if, after a while, this becomes you standard universal tool with which you handle almost everything - really, as this is how it works for me most of the time.
