The best way to stay out of trouble is READ, STUDY AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING.
BASIC BASIC
The first (earliest) bit in the bank is not an Item but a light.
It appears to the left front of the face, some distance away (look ahead and to the left a bit and you spot it).
It is the source of unconsciousness and produces it when contacted.
There is a light before each Run, in the middle of each 7' s GPM (every 4 pairs), at the start of Basic End %orch, at the start of Confusion GPM, and at the start of the Objects and at the end of each type of Item in the Objects (every 8 Items). Each time you feel groggy, it's a light doing it. Each major change, thea, is preceded by the light. Mark these in on your platens if they are not there. Flatten each one by spotting it, and it and thetan.
Anaten (unconsciousness) can be spotted away.
It is part of the light. When the light went on, the thetan went anaten. Instead of a Solo Auditor going anaten in his session, it is only necessary to spot the anaten in the thetan when running the light.
When you spot a light or object or combination of objects, you should get a read on the needle. By spotting the same thing again, you get another read. By spotting it again, you get another read. And so you continue to spot it, time after time, until no more reads occur by reason of spotting.
You repeat verbal items aloud, getting a read each time you repeat until it has no more reads. Verbal items are found in the "7's". "Basic End Words" aad "Confusion GPM".
But you silently spot lights, objects, combinations of objects repeatedly (same one) until you have no more reads.
You should get as many falls, etc. from spotting a light as you do from calling an Item.
Spotting the thetan follows the same rules. You spot repeatedly until there are no more reads on the needle by reason of spotting the thetan (self) at that instant and place.
You don't have to see the light to spot it or see the thetan or see the object or objects. You only need to spot the place where they are with the idea of what should be there.
Of course, seen at first or not, continued spotting makes it blow.
