Let's take a look at a fundamental. Admiration is one of these.

   Recently I examined my tolerance for admiration, affection and
attention. Since I have difficulty handling admiration (praise, respect,
acclaim, wonderment, etc.) I checked: "How much  admiration  can you
handle?"

   This gave a rapid LFBD of a division as an image came up of me
standing naked above a crowd looking up admiringly at my erection. A 13
minute session gave a TA of  2.2

   I can relate this to an interest in pornography, with its exchanges of
admiration: submission (admiration that submits to the more beautiful,
competent or powerful), hypnotic control (extracting admiration by
devious means), hidden interest in another's body (covert admiration),
and force, torture, or withholding necessities (as a way of squeezing out
admiration  forcibly). "Making them beg for it," in other words.

   Thus I can view the appeal of pornography as an attempt to free up
blocked and inhibited admiration lines.

   And I cognited that I had enjoyed admiration received when younger,
but had withheld (like a "good" puritan) showing it. And now years of
suppressing feelings of pleasure at being admired, results in my being
embarrassed by it.

   I've learned about this from a cat who comes to visit for a bowl of
milk and a nap. When he sees me looking at him  while  napping; he
stretches, relaxes, and "bathes" in the attention. What I have learned is
that my "embarrassment" is  suppressed unacknowledged pleasure.

   With such a blockage the possibility of "too much" admiration arises.
As an example, in a therapy group, we were all invited to say something
nice about "Ricky," who spent his time tearing up paper for the
psychologist to pick up. We did so, and the next day he was in a hospital
with double pneumonia.

   Another example is "Mark" whose mother was told by a psychiatrist when
he was quite young, that she should always praise him, even if it wasn't
true. Now he distrusts any admiration or positive attention as being
insincere.

   Since as-ising the bank requires some  admiration to dissolve it, such
a critical denial impedes it.

   Even accusations have this basic element, since the substance of any
communication line is admiration. Charge, itself may be only encysted or
ridged admiration.

   If so, then charge can be blown by spotting how it is being suppressed
on each of the flows. "How could someone handle admiration?" has helped
me spot this, by bringing up considerations like: "There isn't anyone out
there, anyway," or, "Oh, it's nothing," in response to praise.

   In Tech Vol I, p.311, "Admiration Processing" Ron states that it can
be run with energy flows, concepts, or mock-ups. He gives a rule: "Those
things which are not admired, persist." A logical corollary is that those
things which  refuse, deny, or block admiration also tend to persist.

   Ron states that a psychotic (and by inference, a bank) can be cured by
being fed admiration (slowly perhaps, considering the case of "Ricky").
Here is an area for research, using admiration as the fundamental
particle. Attention to this should enhance everything from 2wc on.

   The first logical step is to erase blocks to its reception; such as
nakedness is "bad," beauty is egotistical, etc. With an increased
tolerance for attention, respect, awe, libidinous glances and so forth,
any bank should succumb much more rapidly.

   Lines are below terminals. Thus the admonition in Dianetics 55 to
maintain 2wc. This means admiration, and this may be "hard to get." I've
often gotten perfunctory "acks" which I felt should be more like the
"Ahhh!" often heard when fireworks explode over the sky. "Terrific!
Great! Boy, you really did it that time!"

   The old acceptance level items can be used: "What bad awful terrible
(assessing the adjective) thing could you (could someone) admire." Like
"It was a wonderful movie, I cried my eyes out."

   For me, in biofeedback work, admiration can liven things up. You might
like to try it.
