Games Master Graduate Course

16 Dec 1990

(Includes the Issue of 24. Nov. 90)

Situation Report

The way is now open for OTs who have completed VAST and are on VAST+ to handle any difficulties they themselves may be having - even with other OTs or those not even on the Bridge!

I got the insight into this level by trying to find the real why on an evaluation Arnold and I were working on regarding the Free Zone having selected areas of no-comm, no-cooperation, no relay of data between Orgs, Publics, and C/Os. It went even further "earlier similar" to the CofS days and even into the historical track of Earth and even Sector 9! So it must be a really hidden and unfound WHY!

I knew the consequences from DSEC of applying a "wrong why" - it WORSENS the situation. So I just gathered more data and did more observation. But although I could see the situation in nearly every Org I visited and in reports from others who visited other orgs - the WHY remained hidden... until I did the 24 Nov 90 "Process - for OTs who are helping to end off the current game - a process to make you feel better - ".

The process ran for several days with new adjustments of my viewpoint after nearly each bracket. (I took time to get the new viewpoint optimized and into my KRC-ARC with others before continuing the process).

Then a few days afterwards, while on a trip for training others and lecturing, I felt I could almost see the WHY for the SITUATION I kept viewing - and then, when I reviewed the trip on the way home - (It took 6 days in the worst snow-storm of many years in EU) - the WHY jumped out! And it produced a whole new course for the handling steps #1 - this one you are reading now.

I won't bother to give the full eval as the DSEC Course would have to be done first - but maybe it will be needed by all concerned when you see what the WHY is:

The real reason for the situation and its earlier-similar back thru history and its never having been "solved" (patch-ups and compromises were tried, heavy ethics, even revolution and war but none completely handled as the situation kept re-occuring) - was that the WHY was on an echelon (meaning "higher levels of operation") that no one even confronted fully, not even the principal players and heads of governments, or org C/Os! It is on the Games Masters Graduate level - this one. Ron gave data about Games and the hats of Games Makers, Unmakers, and even Umpires in his tapes. These are all recommended study for this course.

And the WHY? Well, to understand it you must realize that a Games Master has a possibility of wearing one or more of these hats:

• Game Maker
• Umpire (Game Continuer)
• and Game Unmaker

This is like a "cycle of action" for a Games Master. Start - Continue - Complete.

And you ALSO must realize that every qn or player must have at one time or another done all three - even if you have to go back to Pre-Loop Games to find when!

Now, also understand what happens when you MIX UP the HATS and do the wrong one at the wrong time - CONFLICT, DESTRUCTION, CHAOS, and even the Games Master who does it appears who does it appears as an SP to others caught in the confusion!

Or, even if one assumes or believes another is doing the wrong hat at this level, he may also jump into another hat and try to UNMAKE the other's game or MAKE a new game (WAR or CONFLICT) to "handle" it. When this is "continued" its called a "GAMES CONDITION" in Scn (meaning a bad condition for one or both).

Understand the above very well as it is like any confused cycle of action or control - except on an unseen level of Power of the Games Master - so it causes BIG PROBLEMS.

Now, we in the Free Zone are in an interesting position regarding GAMES. We are trying to make a BETTER ONE, (this is what the lower Bridge and Public see as the purpose) BUT at higher levels we can all see that really we are working toward UNMAKING an OVER-RUN game since LTA, and even planning a NEW ONE!

Now, do you start to see the WHY?

Remember, we are also rehabilitating GAMES MASTERS! And EXPANDING!

Why

The Free Zone has been expanding and rehabilitating Games Masters without handling their past conflicts, confusions, and mix-ups of theri 3 major hats which has resulted in no-comm, no-cooperation, no relay of vital data and even conflict between the org C/Os and their staffs and publics.

Ethics Why

A personal one of each person involved to be found in the correct handling of theri past experiences as Games Masters.

Ethics Whos

Those involved in the conflicts, confusions, and mixed-ups in P.T. Free-Zone activities.

Ideal Scene

Free-Zone Games Masters who work together in comm, cooperation, and who relay vital data without conflict and who master the correst hats for their staff's and public's games also, leading to an unbeatable team of OTs.

Bright Idea

From a consideration of the great need, the resources of OTs who can do Solo E-metering and auditing on themselves and others, and thus have the capability to handle the past experiences as Games Masters - it is possible to handle this by an audited programm which will then allow the Games Masters themselves to handle the other outpoints and conflicts in their areas.

Handling

Note:

The Program is given on the next issue of 17 Dec 90.
