FROM A pre-clear, "Hmmmmt" can be a tremendous communication. I recognize that
I've hit a pin when I hear it said wonderingly. At that point, I have learned not to
insist on reassuring phrases from the preclear that a point has been made (usually
these are reassuring to auditor only). I remember that I am dealing with a Thetan (soul),
and that I am not God.
"Hmmmmt" to me means that a bell rang,
even if I didn't hear a loud prolonged peal.

My goal is to help the individual to take
a look at some of his considerations. "Hmmml"
means, to me, that he's taking a look or going
to look at a whole album. He'll get around to
making his own changes in the originals, and
eventually to changing the carbon copy (which
chemically is the body).

In his complaint, when one gets into true
communication, is the answer. His complaint
contains the engram content. I recognize it,
because if I ask him to repeat the phrase --
such as "I wish I had his gall" -- he never will.
He'll give you other words. I do not run engrams, but it helps to recognize one in restimulation at the present time. I work for
change of consideration.

Here are some of my "Hmmm!" cases. Of
course, these are the highlighted moments,
after we had established communication; after
we had increased the person's response-ability.
Here are also some of the considerations that
I work from:
TRUE CHANGE OF CONSIDERATION WILL BE EVIDENCED IN THE BODY (carbon copy). THETAN
(soul) AND GENETIC ENTITY (body) NEED TO SEE
I TO I, AND AGREE ON A BETTER IDEA.

No. 1 -- P.C.: I've hated that man's guts
for years.

Aud: Does he know it?
P.C.: No.

Aud.: If he knew it, would he care?
P.C.: No.

Aud.: Then who's been carrying that load?
P.C.: Hmmmmt"
(If one is filled with heavy low-toned
emotion, does it make any difference how justifiable he believes the cause to be?)
No. 2 -- ADDRESSING COMPLAINT TO WRONG ADDRESS INTERFERES WITH COMMUNICATION.

P.C.: Oh, God, why do You send me all
these tribulations?
Aud.: Can you forgive God?
P.C.: Forgive God?
Aud.: Aren't you accusing him?
P.C.: Hmmml Do you suppose that's why my
prayers aren't answered? (Her prayers are now
being answered to some favorable degree.)
No. 3 -- KEEP ATTENTION ON GOAL(intention),
NOT TECHNIQUES.

P.C.: Dr. Elliott, do you suppose it's
wrong for me to pray for the return of my boy
friend?
Aud.: One prays as well as he can, or
wants to. Either Oh Lord MY will be done, or,
THY will.

e.~.: :unar,! {Y,c, nas drooped a iced
and is out helpin; others carry theirs.)
No. 4 -- USE L.ANULaGL Y.C.0 NNN,TaNDS ; ,ST.

Chemist: Look it here, I've tried some of
these techniques, and phooey!
Aud.: I understand. In a laboratory when
you duplicate a formula you can predict the
result, eh?
Chem.: Sure.

Aud.: In the laboratory of life, if you
follow someone's way or formula, but you put
the element of doubt into the compound, instead of the element of faith, would you expect the same result?
Chem.: Hmmmm! (By gradient scale, he is
diluting his doubt.)
No. 5 -- THEPHYSICAL DIS-EASE WILL DESCRIBE
THE EMOTIONAL SETUP IN ITS SIMPLEST TERMS.

Naturopath: Dr. Elliott, in your own jargon, what do you make of cancer?.

Aud.: Bad blood somewhere in the relationships.

Nat.: I think you're wrong there. Highly
developed spiritual people, and husband and
wife get on beautifully.

Aud.: Whom else might be concerned, Doctor?
Nat.: Hmmml Brother-in-law has same disease. I'm sending the couple over. (Husband
hated brother-in-law, and then hated himself
for such a low-toned emotion. This subject was
tabu between husband and wife. Naturopath
helped clear bodies auditor helped clear the
air. Eight months later, husband doing fine,
and brother-in-law is improving.)
No. 6 -- IN THE COMPLAINT OF THE INDIVIDUAL
WILL BE THE SICK-NESS OF THE CONSIDERATION.

Lawyer: I suppose you have heard of my
heart attack.

Aud.: Yes, what are you heartsick about?
Law.: Oh, my wife, etc., etc., and my
son, etc., etc.

Aud.: What would be the consequence to
you if you let them be j u s t as they are?
(granting of beingness).

Law.: You mean it's as easy as that? Hmmt
(Year later, la er is finding much of life
more pleasurable.

No. 7 -- BE WILLING TO GRANT KNOWINGNESS TO
OTHER$
(Two students, high I.Q.s griping about
college. Music majors heading for professional
careers.)
P.C,s: We sit there, Alberta, knowing
much more than_ those old fogeys. We're not
boasting. Honesty we do.

Aud.: O.K. But what role have you been
assigned RIGHT NOW?
P.C.s: Students.

Aud.: Tell me, what role couldn't a good
actor play beautifully?
P.C.s: Hmmmmt Hmmmml (They put on th@it
little caps and went back to play the game.)
No. 8 -- "THE ONLY ONE" IS OUT OF TOUCH
WITH THE COMMONPLACE (HERE AND NOW).

P.C.: (After a bit of SOP.) Isn't there
such a thing as too much grounding?
Aud.: Is there such a thing as too much
grounding in your chosen profession?
P.C.: Hmmmm! O.K., let's go. (He's coming
into touch with present time and responseability.)
No. 9 -- USE THE P.C.'S STABLE DATUM.

P.C.: Do you really believe that one can
forgive everything?
Aud.: Only if one really wants to.

P.C.: I really pray for forgiveness.
Aud.: What's your favorite prayer?
P.C.: The Lord's Prayer.

Aud.: A beautiful prayer. Forgive me, to
the same degree that I forgive others their
trespasses.

P.C.: Hmmmm! I never looked at it in
quite that way.

No. 10 -- IN THE COMPLAINT IS THE ANSWER.
Aud.: The trouble with Ron Hubbard is
that I've lost faith in him. (How well, do I,
the writer, know this one.) Waiting for Ron to
,ril, 195!
