Since the release of New Era Dianetics I have been keeping a close eye on the running of NED on an extensive basis. Pcs have been experiencing tremendous and quite amazing gains and resolving areas of their cases which have never before been handled so fully.

This new and more precise Dianetics tech can and is changing the lives of many across the planet.

When this tech was researched and developed I wanted to get it into your hands immediately. Now that it is in broad use, there is a wealth of data coming in on its application and the use of the new commands and handling of EPs. From this, I have located a point where NED, as originally issued, could go wrong on some pcs where earlier Dianetics did not.

As it has always been my practice to provide you with the most accurate, proven and workable tech as it is developed, and as NED is a more powerful tech than any earlier Dianetics, it is important that you have this data.

The point referred to above is on the auditor asking for earlier beginning or earlier incident.

The basic stable datum is and always has been: TA up even slightly at the end of pc’s run through the incident = something earlier. The “something earlier” could be an earlier incident or an earlier beginning to the incident being run.

There is a slight difference between the way these two are handled in R3RA Engram Running By Chains and R3RA Narrative running, because of what the auditor is trying to accomplish with each. The difference is in the order of importance of earlier beginning and earlier incident.

In R3RA Engram Running By Chains you are following down and erasing a somatic chain. Here, in almost all cases, an earlier incident on the chain takes precedence over an earlier beginning to the incident being run.

Therefore, if the TA is even slightly up at the end of the pc’s run through an incident on the chain, the auditor asks first for an earlier incident and if there is none (or none the pc can yet see) he asks for an earlier beginning to the incident being run.

Where you find an earlier beginning to an incident on the chain that is not the basic incident you rerun that incident only once more through from the earlier beginning to the end of the incident. If TA does not come down on that run through, there’s an earlier incident.

The whole point being made here is that on engram running by chains you always want the earlier incident as soon as that is available. Thus, you ask for the earlier incident first, then, if necessary, for an earlier beginning.

In R3RA Narrative running you are handling one single narrative incident, such as an accident, a physically or emotionally painful experience, an illness, loss, or period of great emotional stress, which is not, ordinarily, part of a chain.

You are running that one incident many, many times through to erasure. The clue to erasure of a narrative incident lies in locating earlier beginnings to the incident. It will be found that the pc finds earlier and earlier moments when he was told or had an awareness that the incident was going to occur.

Thus, in running R3RA Narrative, it is the earlier beginning that takes precedence, and that is what the auditor asks for after each run through a narrative incident. Only if the incident starts to grind (no change of content, etc.), after having repeatedly searched for an earlier beginning, would you ask for an earlier similar narrative incident.

This data on earlier beginning is a new breakthrough on narrative incident running and erasure, and the NED auditor should fully understand it and the tech on which this additional difference between the two procedures is based.

As pointed out in other issues, erasure of the somatic chain or the narrative incident occurs when the postulate is obtained, and it is vital that the auditor not go beyond that.

New Era Dianetics Series 6 and 7 have been revised to incorporate this difference in earlier incident and earlier beginning handlings.

I wanted you to have the full and exact data on why these commands are being slightly revised.

This should make for even smoother running of New Era Dianetics all around.
