Symbol: R/S.
1. called a rock
slam because it is a
needle manifestation which is achieved when the
auditor is approaching what we once called "the
rock." There's something earlier than the
rock and that's a
goal. It's a great deal of random
needle motion occurring solely because of the current being
set up amongst the
items and
identities a person has assumed in the progress of
executing his or her
goals. It could be called a
goals slam which we will not call it. It's a
thetan convulsing, and in the absence of a slamming
needle you will very often find a convulsing
body. A rock
slam is a
crisscross of currents which is throwing a
thetan around .
( SH Spec 190, 6209C18)2. an R/S or rock
slam is defined as a crazy
irregular slashing
motion of the
needle. It can be as narrow as one inch or more than a full
dial in width, but it's crazy! It
slams back and forth. It is actually quite startling to see one. It is very
different from other
meter phenomena.
(HCOB 1 Nov 74)3. that
needle agitation which erratically covers more than three
quarters of an inch on the E-
meter dial. A rock
slam is the response of an E-
meter to the conflict between
terminals and opposition
terminals. It indicates a fight, an
effort to
individuate, an extreme
games condition which in the absence of
auditing would seek unsuccessfully to separate while attacking. As the
pc's
attention is guided to the
items involved the
games condition activates and is expressed on the
meter as a ragged, frantic response. The wider the response the more recognizable (to the
pc) is the
reality of the
games condition and the violence of the conflict.
(HCOB 8 Nov 62)4. as a
meter representation, is the result of
innumerable committed overts in a certain direction, and when you'
ve got that certain direction isolated, that is to say the
items against which the
overts were
committed isolated you then have of
course a rock
slam.
(SH Spec 203, 6210C11)5. a crazy,
irregular, unequal, jerky
motion of the
needle narrow as one inch or as wide as three inches, happening several
times a
second. The
needle goes crazy, slamming back and forth, narrowly, widely over on the
left, over on the
right, in a
mad war dance or as if it were frantically trying to escape. It means
hot terminal or
hot anything in an
assessment and takes
precedence over a
fall.
(EME, p. 17)6. this is the most difficult
needle response to find or attain or preserve. And it is the most valuable in
clearing. All
rock slams result from a pair of
items in opposition, one of which is a
terminal, the other being an
opposition terminal. It can exist in
present time where the
pc is the
terminal and what the
pc is faced with is the
opposition terminal.
(HCOB 8 Nov 62)7. is the
read of the
rock vs the opposition
rock and every pair above them on the
cycle of the
GPM. It
marks the
path to the
rock.
(HCOB 6 Dec 62)8. is a
convulsion of the
mind and can reflect as a
convulsion of the
body.
(HCOB 19 Sept 62)9. the rock
slam is called a rock
slam because it is a
needle manifestation which is achieved when the
auditor is approaching what we once called the
rock.
