Dianetic success

Awhile ago, I wrote up a success I had in Dianetics a year or so ago. I thought it might be worth putting here.

Certain types of music had always had a strong emotional impact on me. In fact, ever since I was a kid, I both loved and yet was strongly and sadly affected by music from a particular era.

Early in my Dianetics, a seemingly small reaction I had to a conversation with someone between sessions came up as needing to be handled. During the conversation, I'd gotten somewhat introverted and we took it up. After running through it a time or two we found an earlier incident of incredible loss.

For several minutes, I could barely talk the grief was so intense and I was crying so hard. The incident and grief was thoroughly wrapped up in the exact music that had affected me for as long as I could remember. The auditor got me through the incident a time or two and then we found the earlier incident.

This one was a moment of physical pain and, when I fully saw what had happened, I burst out laughing, so ridiculous was the circumstance and so silly my conclusions at the time.

What was remarkable about this was the way Dianetics handled a right now reaction I'd pretty much identified as just being how I was, traced that back through a mountain of misemotion to find the underlying physical pain that held it all in place.

I still love the music, but now without that same overwhelming grief sitting in the way of enjoying it.
