Chapter 12
Self-determinism is whiteness and self-made energy to the preclear. The energy looks white to him.
| Self-determinism |
| Other-determinism |
is the basic dichotomy. The self-determinism looks white, other-determinism looks black.
Electronic incidents are a mockery of this. They made the preclear think his own determinism had other determinism it must fight. White beauty must fight black ugliness. White good must fight black evil.
You will sometimes see your preclear is fighting, pushing, struggling instead of getting flows. He has encountered a black mock-up which he thinks he has to fight. This is the aberration—that one is not Eighth Dynamic Cause but is only First Dynamic Cause. To become free he must be Cause as nearly as possible on eight dynamics. He cannot be fully responsible—and thus responsible for his facsimiles—unless he is Cause. If he is not responsible for his facsimiles, he then can be injured by them, can be the Effect of their Cause.
One requires the preclear, in such a case of fighting, to run the dichotomy, not just strain at the black. He may protest, saying he “cannot accept it”; ask him to run acceptance anyway, or get him into something lighter.
At first your preclear may be unable even to find gray. In such a case, get him to pretend somebody is before him saying something to him. Ask him to run the flow of his own agreement. Then ask him to run his own flow of disagreement. Shortly he will sense how long he must run each. Even if he runs only on this conceptual level, he will improve markedly in tone and, of course, energy potential.
Your preclear must be able to recognize a tractor, a pulling wave, and realize that it has two directions of flow. As you point out that he has a tractor-pressor combination on his MEST body, he probably can find it. You can point out that other persons have put them on his body and that he has put them on others. He will find how to make them flow, for the tractor is just a holder so that a pressor can be used, or a puller to make someone fall, or stop somebody or something from falling.
The only one he would not find for himself is the tractor he gives others to make them want things from him and tractors they have extended to him to make him want things from them. These last lead straight into art and the second dynamic.
The most important dichotomies to run are:
| Agree | Beauty |
| Disagree | Ugliness |
But all those listed are useful. However, do not force him to use and try to prevent him from using:
| Emotion | Effort |
| Effort | Matter |
These fall away of themselves evidently when the others are run.
