This post is for those who argued with me when I posted about TR 0
Confront. I stated that TR 0 Confront was to be done blinklessly. I
recall that Jesse Prince and Dennis Erlich concurred with me insofar
that Hubbard required TR 0 Confront to be done for 2 hours without
blinking. This was required for a "pass" at the Austin Organization
in the '70s when I did the Communications (HAS) Course there.

TRs

TRs the hard way are producing the most fabulous results.

This is the way they will now be done on all FEBCs.

The 0-IV TRs, and the 6-9 TRs done the total EP way are NOW
REQUIRED TO BE PASSED BEFORE ADMIN TRs ARE BEGUN.

Administrators need harder TRs even than Auditors! And
Auditor TRs are now upgraded beyond belief.

Time Clock Zero begins it. A blink, a redness of the eye, a
twitch, a cough, a sigh, a body shift, etc. causes the coach to
start the clock again until a total 2 hour total zero is achieved.

Patty cake TRs were the death of auditing quality and admin
effectiveness.

Some lovely wins are being gotten with this current Pgm.

You're right. What you're describing was called "Hard TRs."

I now call it "Bullshit."

It's so indeed, at least in TRs the hardway, re-titled TRs PRO. 2 hours without
a blink. Perfectly ridicule purpose, since blinking from time to time is a body
necessity... to be opposed with some bad-confrontation things indeed (excessive
blinking, looking elsewhere or so).

When I did 'em all on the Flagship in 1971, it was 'no blink, no swallow'.
There was a really pitiful scene in the Hold of the ship. It was filled with
staff who could not do the Hard TRs. They were down in this dungeonlike hole
crying. Hopeless. Trapped. Many had either fallen asleep or were unconscious.
I got a dispatch from LRH asking me to get the bug off the TRs course.( I had
done the full battery of hard TRs without a flunk. It was seen as an amazing
accomplishment. My necessity level to get off that hellish ship was my
motivation for my getting 'em done. Took me 2 full days and into 2 nights
without a blink or swallow. Insanity manifest.) Anyways, I got all those guys
that were in the hold onto my emeter and each and every one of them read on
'Overrun'. It's a good thing there was no camera in that room. I would'a used
voodoo to get those guys outta there.

I've always wondered about this. I don't think that I could ever have
sat without blinking, swallowing for two hours. I don't really
understand how anybody else could do it either.

In my experience, "Hard TRs" were done for years, beginning in

that way both at ASHO and the Austin Org, as well as on the

Well, by the time I got in, they (cofS) weren't doing it any longer. I think
I ever once saw a reference saying not to do it.

I did meet one lady in CofS who said she'd had to do it. She was older than
I and had been in longer.

Hard TRs doesn't automatically mean blinkless. My understanding is that they
cut out the blinkless bullshit sometime in the early 70s.

I know people who course supv'd and were on course in the mid 70s and TR0,
by then, was not blinkless.

I was made to do TR 0 Confront the "hard way", according to LRH's
1971 order issued in May of 1971.

When I blinked I was "given a flunk" and made to start again until
I could do TR 0 Confront for 2 hours without blinking. It was very
painful for a long time (up until a trance state was induced).

From the Flag OODs published onboard the Apollo on 16 May 1971,
page 2:

or can find it.

I can name dozens of individuals who had to do blinkless TR 0
Confront, just like Hubbard ordered in his 15 May 1971 order.

What reference, bulletin, order, policy, etc. is this based upon?

Doing TR 0 Confront will induce a trance state if done long enough.

In 1974 and 1975 at the Austin Org when I did the TRs as part of
the Hubbard Communication Course, TR 0 Confront was done
blinklessly or the student did not "pass". After mid-October of
1975 I can't say what was done at the Austin Org since I had
moved to Los Angeles and gone on staff at ASHO Day. Here's
the basis on which I say Hard TRs are done blinklessly. Note that
Hubbard says "TRs the hard way ...". Further, he says, "A blink, a

redness of the eye, a twitch, a cough, a sigh, a body shift, etc.
causes the coach to start the clock again until a total 2 hour total
zero is achieved."

Here's my reference from the Flag OODs published onboard the

Apollo on 16 May 1971, page 2:

I believe you when you say that TRs were done blinklessly since
Scientology is a "squirrel" outfit anyway, and since the so-called
"tech" in general has been changed so many times. I'd just like
to know if you cite a Hubbard reference regarding Hard TRs not
being done blinklessly?

TR 0 Confront is a hypnotic trance induction technique. Ask any

There are other ways to induce trance besides torture, which
not being allowed to blink for two hours surely is. I feel so bad
for those who have been subjected to this and I'm glad this is
being exposed.

Right. But the point is that for a while there was this arbitrary where the
person had to go for 2 hours final pass blinkless on TR0. That one woman I
used to know who was at AOLA in the 60s told me about it.

Yeah, he published that and then some time later (probably nine months
or so) repudiated it and said blinking was OK if it wasn't "robotic
blinking." Or something of that sort. He also said he was
"misinterpreted," or that someone had published it without his
knowledge.

People were always sneaking in bits of out tech in LRH bulletins around
that time. Maybe his body thetans controlling his fingers on the Telex

post by your real name. I just can't stand this shit that 50 new people crop
up in the group each day all knowing nothing about Scientology and
expounding upon things like "exploits on the Apollo".

That is why some people resent when others communicate well with each other
here.

Friendship is another one, she posts the most 100% critical things and then
in support of them says "I would rather remain anonmymous for certain
reasons".

WOW!

I can name dozens of individuals who had to do blinkless TR 0


Confront, just like Hubbard ordered in his 15 May 1971 order.

What reference, bulletin, order, policy, etc. is this based upon?

Doing TR 0 Confront will induce a trance state if done long enough.

In 1974 and 1975 at the Austin Org when I did the TRs as part of


the Hubbard Communication Course, TR 0 Confront was done
blinklessly or the student did not "pass". After mid-October of
1975 I can't say what was done at the Austin Org since I had
moved to Los Angeles and gone on staff at ASHO Day. Here's
the basis on which I say Hard TRs are done blinklessly. Note that
Hubbard says "TRs the hard way ...". Further, he says, "A blink, a
redness of the eye, a twitch, a cough, a sigh, a body shift, etc.
causes the coach to start the clock again until a total 2 hour total
zero is achieved."

Here's my reference from the Flag OODs published onboard the
Apollo on 16 May 1971, page 2:

=== begin quote ===

TRs

TRs the hard way are producing the most fabulous results.

This is the way they will now be done on all FEBCs.

The 0-IV TRs, and the 6-9 TRs done the total EP way are NOW
REQUIRED TO BE PASSED BEFORE ADMIN TRs ARE BEGUN.

Administrators need harder TRs even than Auditors! And


Auditor TRs are now upgraded beyond belief.

Time Clock Zero begins it. A blink, a redness of the eye, a
twitch, a cough, a sigh, a body shift, etc. causes the coach to
start the clock again until a total 2 hour total zero is achieved.

Patty cake TRs were the death of auditing quality and admin
effectiveness.

Some lovely wins are being gotten with this current Pgm.

LRH, COMMODORE
15 May 1971

=== end quote ===

I believe you when you say that TRs were done blinklessly since
Scientology is a "squirrel" outfit anyway, and since the so-called
"tech" in general has been changed so many times. I'd just like

to know if you can cite a Hubbard reference regarding Hard TRs
not being done blinklessly?

Bah! If they really had their tech in, they'd do Very Hard TRs and do them
breathlessly!

Not only does warrior have a steel trap for details, he is correct, I
did them too... and yes it was in 1973-4 era.. but if it is not true
for you then it is not true, so move on, right?

can be traced to lingering spirits of an extraterrestrial
people massacred by their ruler, Xenu, over 75 million
years ago. These spirits attach themselves by "clusters"
to individuals in the contemporary world, causing
spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives

What do we get from getting people out of scientology?
We create an individual who has become a Houdini of

I did TRs the Hard Way on the Flagship. We also did them 'no swallow' (
hah!). Not only did we do TR0 the Hard Way, we did the entire TR course
the Hard Way. This meant, for me, two solid days or about 20 hours, of
no blink no swallow Trs. It was easy for me.I went straight through
without a flunk. Then Ron asked me to supervise the course and help him
get the 'bug' off the TR course. There were dozens of Staff down in the
lower hold of the ship who had given up, gone into apathy, gone into
unconsciousness, crying, hopeless, because they couldn't pass the Hard
TRs. I gottem all thru. I put 'em one by one on my meter and indicated
that they had been overrun. Whether they had or not, they were
overjoyed to be released from the cycle. I could have used any thing to
get them back on post. I could have used voodoo, it wouldn't have
mattered. I got a commendation from LRH.
