If you can help me with my little project....

When I studied and re-studied the materials of TROM until I
understood it and could use it, the thing that kept repeating
itself in the back of my mind was, 'How in the world would
someone without a Scientology background understand this?"
The second-most thing that kept recurring in my mind was, "How
could someone with a Scientology background -respect- this?"
And by that I am not talking about the actual theories. I am
talking about materials that are riddled with poor editing--
mis-spellings, inadequate glossaries, and improper formatting
(take a look at what I posted about level 5c and how the steps
are improperly written down for selecting a junior universe and
running it. Without the original TROM writeup to compare it to,
one would be lost as to what to do when).
TROM, in order to be -respected- by Scientologists looking for
an alternative, or Non-Scientologists starting from scratch,
needs to have materials that at the very least, meet minimum
publishing standards.
Slowly but surely, I am correcting these problems. The glossary
I posted in "Read TROM here" is the way a glossary should be for
an introduction to the subject. The two lectures I have
proofread and provided glossaries for, also can be understood by
the laymen as well.
TROM doesn't necessarily compete with Scientology. Scientology
is actually the background data for TROM. Dennis says so
himself. We need to keep in mind that the Church puts out
gorgeous, well-edited, well-formatted books with comprehensive
glossaries. There should be something comparable to that for
Trommer-wannabes, or those just curious.
I don't want to do this alone. I will if I have to, but it will
just take much longer.
Anyone who has compiled glossaries, done any proofreading or
editing on lectures, or any other work to clarify the materials,
please send it to TromFan@gmail.com .
I especially need help clarifying Boolean algebra. Though I
have a rough understanding of it, explaining it to someone else
is a bit of a challenge for me.
Some of you more trained and experienced Scientologists can help
me understand NOTs a bit better. If you have any references,
this would be great.
We don't have the sales force or the powerful organization
behind us. BUT we can at least bring the presentation of these
materials up to a level where they can be respected by those who
read self-help books.
I am not doing this for money. I've already informed the
current TROM publisher that he can use anything I have
proofread, and any glossaries I have posted in his books and I
don't want anything in return for it. If he never updates the
books, that is his prerogative. He's done his part in at least
making the materials available to the public. And, on the
positive side, we can thank him for that, and we need not make
any further demands of him. So instead, I am going to
continually publish my corrections on this forum with the intent
of putting a "cleaner face" on the TROM materials.
Will you help me?

Sorry I'm just seeing your post now. Yes, Trom manual can be
prettied up, and with glossary too for sure, especially as you
say for general public seeking a better way. That's a third and
fourth dynamic issue for sure. Do you feel these outpoints keep
you yourself (First Dynamic) from correctly doing the practices
of RI, and Levels Two through Four?
The worst thing the Church did for me was to invert my dynamics.
I've now worked to correct that, and I'm not yet in high enough
conditions on my First Dynamic to do anything for the third or
fourth dynamic re TROM. They'll have to wait for me :D
I do still employ some scientology practices based upon current
life constructs, especially ethics by dynamics - starting with
the first D - as a repair practice to make me more "trommable",
lol. Dennis did say to be of good health and un-impaired brain
function.
Personally, nothing about how the TROM manual was written kept
me from successfully doing RI and Level Two or Three. Yes, I did
have initially a "wrong think" about RI, and some fellow
Trommers helped me straighten it out :)
