You've seen how the words and phrases contained in an engram act as commands when restimulated in life, affecting your thoughts, your health, and even your emotions. It is over, over, over you. And you've seen how these commands also impinge themselves on you when contacted.

In auditing, it's over, over, over. But there are certain types of commands that can also have a negative effect on your ability to contact and reduce engrams in session. A pre-clear locates his engrams by traveling on his time track. Everyone has a time track.

This is the consecutive record of every moment of your life accumulated throughout your existence. It's exactly dated. All right, I'm 15, in fact, it's my 15th birthday. I'm standing outside the Quick-Mart now. A primary concern of the auditor is to keep the pre-clear moving

on the time track, contacting incidents so they can be recounted until they're reduced or erased. But very things can happen to the pre-clear with relation to the time track. Certain words and phrases contained in engrams can actually make it appear as though there are flaws in his time track.

Um, I don't know, that's all there is. That's fine. We've done enough for the day anyway, right? All right, let's go through it again. Go back to the beginning and go over it. Pick up whatever additional data you can contact. Okay, okay.

In fact, there are no flaws in the time track. It just seems that way because certain engramic phrases, called action phrases, send the pre-clear in various directions on the track without his permission. There are five different classes of these action phrases, each

causing a different action on the track where the heck have you been hey Dad you've been drinking again haven't you Oh I swear don't let him get out I can't even see what happens next Okay I understand the phrase 'get out' is an action phrase because it commands the

pre-clear to do something and what he does depends on what that phrase means literally In other words when this man contacts this incident in a session the action phrase 'get out' will literally command him to get out of the engram This phrase is classified as a

bouncer because it bounces the pre-clear out of the engram and back up the time track toward or into present time These common expressions are actually examples of bouncers Listen to their literal meaning Run run away Get up get up get up Don't ever come back

bouncers such as 'will' literally eject the pre-clear right out of the engram I don't know there can be other troubles caused by these action phrases One of the most common is for the pre-clear to become stuck in an incident in the past He's

he's standing over me yelling 'Stay here okay just stay here okay' This sort of action phrase is called a holder because it literally holds him in an engram at that earlier point on the track He's not in present time but is locked in this earlier period of his life Cop runs over

holder phrases such as 'Hold on to this' 'Don't let go' 'Don't move' can keep the pre-clear from shifting on the track or coming to present time My guy's grabbing from my wallet Another difficulty with the time track is caused by the denier 'No I I can't find anything else okay' is

Is there an earlier incident like this? No, no. I can't, can't see anything. There's just nothing there. A denier hides a part of the time track by implying it's not there or should not be viewed. Nothing there. Nothing. A pre-clear with a denier

feels like there's no incident present. No, there's nothing there. A denier, such as 'there's nothing there,' will make the pre-clear believe the engram doesn't exist. No other examples of deniers are, I don't know what's going on. You can't

remember anything at all. I can't remember anything. I can't tell again because these command phrases are interpreted literally. This will mean that he can't tell the auditor the engram. Everything's going to be okay. The most upsetting of commands is the grouper, an action phrase

which literally translated means that all incidents are in one place on the time track. When I was 17 with my boxing coach, now pull yourself together. No, later with my wife, everything's all screwed up. No, back when I was in the war. There's no time. Groupers create the illusion that

the time track is tangled up into a ball so that all the incidents are at the same point in time. Another difficulty with the time track is the MISD director. This would be a phrase which, when the auditor sends the pre-clear in one direction, makes the pre-clear go in

another direction. Is there an earlier incident like this? I don't know. I'm not sure. Is this an earlier incident? I don't know. Maybe it's later. Okay. Some examples of MISD directors are, 'Oh, you do everything backwards, not this way, the other way.'

I don't know whether I'm coming or going. MISD directors such as these send the pre-clear in the wrong direction, making him go earlier when he should go later or go later when he should go earlier. I'm sorry, I I can't tell. I don't know whether I'm coming or

going all right now. These action phrases could really trouble an auditor, but if you know how to spot them, there's an additional technique you can use to get your pre-clear moving again. I'm sorry, I'm trapped. I I I just feel sort of stuck. I'm

trapped. I'm trapped. The phrase 'I'm trapped' is a holder. Coming through, the pre-clear can't move in the engram because this phrase is somewhere in it. Say 'I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped.' The solution is to have your pre-clear repeat the action

phrase over and over to take the charge out of it. This technique is explained in the book and is illustrated in detail in the film entitled 'The Repeater Technique.' Trapped. It's important to understand these five classes of engram commands. The repeater technique requires that the

auditor think like an engram so he can recognize when these phrases are coming through. Listen to the literal meaning of what the pre-clear is saying and observe his actions on the time track. This will tell you what action phrases are standing in the way of your

progress. I keep hearing her say 'get out.' But regardless of what content you encounter in an engram, if you simply follow the auditor's code and the proper Diane procedure, you'll get your pre-clear through it. In chapter n, part two of the therapy

section of the book you'll find many more examples of each of the five types of action phrases under the heading "Special Classes of Commands"

15-The Five Classes Of Engram Commands-Using Dianetics: The Modern Science Of Mental Health

Captain Joe

Engrams act as commands affecting thoughts, health, and emotions.

Auditing aims to reduce engrams, but certain commands hinder this process.

Pre-clears locate engrams by traveling their time track, a dated record of life moments.

Engramic phrases can create apparent flaws in the time track.

Action phrases and their effects on the time track

Action phrases send the pre-clear in various directions on the time track.

Bouncers (e.g., 'get out') eject the pre-clear from the engram.

Holders (e.g., 'stay here') keep the pre-clear stuck in a past incident.

Deniers (e.g., 'nothing there') hide parts of the time track.

Groupers (e.g., 'everything's screwed up') create the illusion that all incidents are at the same point in time.

MISD directors (e.g., 'you do everything backwards') send the pre-clear in the wrong direction on the time track.

Action phrases can trouble auditors, but recognizing them allows for solutions.

Repeating action phrases can neutralize their effect (repeater technique).

Understanding the five classes of engram commands is crucial.

Auditors should listen to the pre-clear's literal meaning and observe their actions.

Following auditor's code and Diane procedure ensures progress.

More examples of action phrases are available in the book under "Special Classes of Commands".
