PURPOSES
The previous session covered only stages
1-3.
The purpose
of
this session was to continue with the
same target site into stage 4 structure.

1)
025 began the session
in Stage
4,
taking
a
-few
pages
to
"get
back
into the site".
2)
025
' s ability to be unconsciously aware
o-f
and to
catch his/her
own
st r uctural
mist a k es
is becomi n
g
very good.
Several
times during the session,
a
structural
error
was made,
but only one
o-f
them
had to be corrected.
The others 025 caught as
they were made,
and
sel -f -corrected
.

fr ora
the site during
a break.
Part
o-f
025 's problem
with this stems from
a logical
conflict which
is
inherent
in the instruction
025 has received!
A break cannot be a mental
vacuum.
In order
for 025
(or any
ot h er
V
:i. ewer >
t o
suc c essf u 1 1 y
b r ea k
f r om
t he site,
s orne other
thoughts must be entertained.
If
the subject
is not changed,
in
some way,
the Viewer's mind
will
be drawn from the mental
vacuum
back to the site,
and no break
will
have occurred.
The
instruction,
as
it
stands,
however,
teaches that the Viewing room
must
be reserved
for viewing,
only,
and that no other subjects
of
interest should be brought
into the room.
In
g e n er a 1
p rac t i ce ,
most viewers and
mon i t or s
n at u r ally
engage
in
idle chatter during the breaks,
and
there
is no
problem.
However,
if
taken literally,
the instruction which
we
presently give to new Viewers negates the possibility
of
taking
effective mental
breaks from the site.
The desire to do well
is
presently causing
025 to take this instruction very seriously,
and therefore very literally.
The problem now arises that
I
cannot
"relax"
the restriction against using the room for other
subjects without appearing to negate 025's prior
instruction.
I
would suggest that the instruction be changed and
clarified
to new Viewers,
to state that no important
or
emotionally charged subjects should be allowed
into the room,
but
that
idle chatting
and mundane talk
of
other subjects,
for
the
p ur pose
of
" gr oun d i n g "

1.
One
of
ways
to recognize
AOL
in Stage
1— both monitor
and
viewer should
be
on
the
lookout
for this— is
the
' questioning
,
or
rising,
inflection during declaration
of
a
B component.
If
its
present,
then
label
the
B
'AOL.
'
2.
Grab
the CRV book and review object if i cat ion ;
you're correct
in
your statement
re.
the potential
for disaster
by listing
'not
present
'
for undetected Stage
2s.
But,
also,
don't allow verbal
self-cuing and/or
a viewer's self-discussion during Stage
2,
The
CRV method
is
a trade-off between trying
to stay
in
the right-
brain site gestalt perception mode and
the
left-brain
'reporting'
mode.
In other
words,
use
the reporting mode only when there
is
'message traffic
'
.
3.
You
probe
the
ideogram with the
pen.
Sketching dimensionals allows
for
closer site contact
(S.3)
and kinesthetic contact,
via modelling,
allows
for
even more
detai 1
.
4.
025's frequent
'hot
hand'
is
not
a bi-lo
indicator
(it
happens
on cold sites
as
well);
we don't
have
a name
for this
phenomenon
in
CRV.
Often,
when
we experience
'pressure
on
the
head'
or
'stabbing pain'
it
is simply labelled
as
an
'AI.
'
Its
tantamount
to
an
unconscious,
or
ANS
,
AI.
5.
Review movement exercises
and the rationale behind them
(I
personally do
not
agree
with the rationale completely).
However,
it
is
OK to
be creative sometimes,
as
long
as
the
cue
is designed
to exercise
the tremendous
insight
of
the viewer's unconscious
.
In other
words,
don't
let
your
cue
be AOL-stimulating/inducing
(unless you've reached the bottom of
the barrel
and have
no other
choice,
or
you simply do not have enough time
left
to complete
the mission
in
the normally alloted amount
of
time).
6.
You both done good—take
it
from an
old burn-out.

Notes

1*
Verbal
self-cuing still
occurring;
the
viewer
need only
(silently)
explore each column
(except
AOL)
with the
pen,
write
down
any percept
present,
and verbalize
it—not
use each one
as
a
discussion
point!
025
has almost
a continuous running self-
discussion where only quiet attention should prevail.
2.
Sketches are used both
to gain closer site contact
as
well
as
to objectify data.
Sketch
labelling
is
fine,
but only after
the
labels
have
been
first objectified
in
the appropriate column,
then transferred
to the
worksheet.
3.
025
is viewing
as
the
interim summaries
are being written;
notice
how many new percepts appear
in
the summary which
were
not
present
in
the
matrix.
4.
"Work”
is
an
' 1
and
"space”
is
OK as
a
'D'.
But
"workspace”
is
a
'T'.
This
kind
of discrimination
and attention
to detail
is
central
to CRV structure.
5.
025
does not recognize
her
own
AI
and does
not
take
the
required
'AI
Break'.
6.
A/S means
that
the viewer
has signal
line contact but
does
not possess
a word-idea necessary to adequately express
the
concept,
and therefore
must search
the
'thesaurus'
(i.e.
,
is
forced
to employ imagination)
for something close
(like
'blender'
for
nuclear
reactor).
As
a general
rule:
"reminds
me
of”
=
AOL
vs.
"like”
=
A/S
7.
Summaries
must
be written
before feedback
is
provided.
Be
sure
that
data,
not
AOL,
is
summarized.
