Once a pc has begun to come out of his bank, he either continues to come out or goes back in a bit.
He (or she) does not remain in status quo (unchanging state) while a Release.
A First Stage Release often pulls further out to First Stage Released OT after processing.
Similarly a Second Stage Release may become a Second Stage Released OT.
In their understandable enthusiasm — they feel so much better and bigger and stronger — a release sometimes seeks additional acknowledgment by requesting a further release check.
A pc who has attained a First Stage can go First Stage Released OT but cannot possibly go Second Stage without Power Processing. In short, one can’t upgrade Stages 1 to 2, etc, without the actual processing.
Why? Because a key out is just that, a key out. Just because one no longer has a tiger in his lap does not mean the tiger has vanished. He’s merely stepped out into the hall. In the course of life somebody is going to leave the door open. The tiger won’t come back into one’s lap but he’ll sure sit on the rug and sneer. Key out means there’s still a tiger. Release means he’s away. One First Stage can be more released than another First Stage. The tiger is further off.
But when you start upgrading numbers (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) you are talking about less tiger.
There’s less bank.
First Stage removes a few tiger whiskers and the sneer. That’s the locks going. The tiger is near or far — that means more or less 1st Stage, it doesn’t mean there’s less tiger.
Second Stage removes the tiger’s misemotion and his front claws. The tiger can now be near or far but he is that much tiger. He can be so far away one is sure he has vanished. But he’s just far. He remains that much tiger (minus whiskers, sneer, temper and front claws), he just isn’t evident.
Third Stage pulls the tiger’s ability to paralyze one’s wits. In effect Third Stage removes impediments to one’s ability to know. The tiger, though now minus whiskers, sneer, temper, front claws, and the ability to paralyze, is still about. He may at this stage walk off so far that one is positive there is no more tiger. But it’s early to break out the champagne. Maybe he won’t be back for years, even centuries, but he still exists.
Fourth Stage Release removes the tiger’s claws all about and blunts his teeth. And causes him to hide in closets. But though he hasn’t whiskers, sneer, claws, or his frightening effect, or the old sharpness, he is still a tiger. One can gambol about in the sun cheerily, feeling quite sure there is no tiger at all. Only the locks on the R6 bank are gone. That R6 bank is still there.
At this stage the pc feels he can move mountains single-handed and is given to chest thumping. That he still depends upon a body gets overlooked.
But ahead of him is the big job. There is still a tiger. This tiger if not vanished utterly will sooner or later creep up and eat up the goodies.
So one has to handle Mr. Tiger once and for all, run the total R6 bank and become a 5th Stage Release.
Now, and only now, with a bit of reorientation can one be Clear. No more tiger. He is not near or far. He doesn’t exist. And one can go on for the trillions.
Early on my pcs went keyed out clear and went away. They stayed that way a long time.
They were sure they had attained the zenith.
Today we are going to have the same problem.
A Release is going to feel sure he has gone up in number of Release when it’s only the tiger out for lunch.
I am the last one to throw cool water over anyone’s head about Release. But I have a passion for stating truth as I know it when I know it. You can always depend on that. It’s not always popular but it’s honest.
Therefore these are the only ways to go up in number as a Release.
To obtain First Stage Release, one must have had lower grade auditing of some sort. This removes the locks (the distressful moments of life) off the Reactive Mind. As these pinned one to it, one can now get out of it.
To obtain Second Stage Release one must have been run on the highest of the Power Processes. This gets rid of the secondaries (misemotions and upsets) and the engrams (moments of pain and unconsciousness). And as these pinned one to the Reactive Mind one can now move out of it and isn’t so likely to go back into it as he has no secondaries and engrams to call him back.
To obtain Third Stage Release one has to tackle the beings, places and subjects one has long detested. And when these are gone one isn’t likely to be called back into the Reactive Mind very soon as bits of his daily life don’t remind him of beings, places and subjects he once detested.
To obtain Fourth Stage Release one has to take the lock end words off the R6 bank. He has to be an R6 Auditor himself to do this properly. With these gone, the R6 bank is left on its naked basics and one can be very free of it for quite a while.
But now we are down to the concrete and bedrock.
To obtain a Fifth Stage Release, one has to have run out the whole remaining Reactive Mind. We are awfully lucky to have the combination to the vault as it’s been shut thoroughly for the trillions. That’s done by a process known as R6-GPMI — or GPMs by Items. And I assure you
1. It can be done and
2. It was pure hell going it blind when I was trying to find it. It took several years and thousands of hours of research auditing to just find the pattern of it. This is the longest job (R6-GPMI) and requires now at least 14 months of daily solo auditing. And then one is 5th Stage and ready for a polish and Clear.
Now understand, at each of these stages one has to go unrelease to make it to the next stage of release. This requires guts — and faith. One is feeling grand. The world is beautiful. The unbrave get nervous at the thought of diving back into the asphalt or, to keep our metaphor, about deliberately whistling up the Tiger — “Here Tiger! Here Tiger! Come out wherever you are!” So a way that is cooked up to avoid this further combat is to pretend an upgrade in number of release without the hard work and scratches necessary to honestly achieve it.
Add to all this that one has a present time, and a body to receive the slings and arrows and one sees that it is a complex picture.
But we have the way. It is the way.
Many will come along selling the frightened the idea one can leap up through the numbers without pain or toil or auditing by flexing one’s chest or eating Wheaties or praying. But that isn’t the way. There’s no bridge there.
The main point that will be stumbled on is this: Nobody has any real reality on how high up these states are or how utterly tall Clear really is.
Well, that’s the score. Does it help?
