1. is a small or wide steady dance of the
needle. Over a
spread of one-eighth of an inch, say (depending on sensitivity setting—it can be half an inch), the
needle goes up and down perhaps five or ten
times a
second. It goes up, sticks, falls, sticks, goes up, sticks, falls, sticks, etc., always the same distance, like a slow
tuning fork. It is a
constant distance and a
constant speed. A theta bop means "
death," "leaving," "
don't
want to be here." It is caused by a yoyo of the
preclear as a
thetan vibrating out and into the
body or a
position in the
body. It's as if the
needle is
jumping between two peaks across a narrow valley.
(EME, p. 16)2. a small or wide steady dance of the
needle. Depending on the sensitivity setting it can be anything from one-eighth to half an inch wide. It is very rapid, perhaps five or ten
times a
second.
(BIEM, p. 43)3. a
diagnostic read, a sort of yoyo—in and out. It does not
matter a continental how wide the theta bop is. It can be a whole
dial wide. Most
theta bops do it repetitively. One
dip and one
recovery at the exact same speed over the same
area would be a one-
motion theta bop. A theta bop has the equal
halt at both
ends.
