GPM Articles
by Clearbird

The following articles cover the subject of Goals Problems Mass. The articles were written between 2007-10 during the development of the technology presented on this website. Years of study by the author was put into the subject, including reading scores of transcripts of relevant lectures held by Ron Hubbard 1960-66. Moreover, the author found a fair amount of data on the subject in the Freezone. Authors and developers include Alan Walter, Jack Horner, Bill Nichols, Peter Shepherd, Irene Mumford, Dennis Stephens, Ken Ogger, Robert Ducharme, Flemming Funch, and Ed Dawson & Max Sandor. We corresponded with Todde Salen (who has a center where they teach about GPMs) as well as with a graduate of Peter Shepherd’s GPM program. But first and foremost the final data have been developed through practical application and testing them to cases.

This article gives an overview of what GPMs are. Their anatomy, how they affect the case,  how they came about in the first place and how to process them.

One can start by finding such a theme that is in play in one's life. Then one finds a goal related to that theme and what opposes it. One would then find another goal and its opposition, repeatedly until all available polarities are discharged. Both the goals and the identities behind them have to be skillfully discharged as one goes along."

To many experts of Ron Hubbard's tech the running of spirits and thetans attached to the preclear has become the ultimate solution. What has been neglected, according to the article's author, is however the preclear's own case. Why are these body thetans there in the first place?
