       Noticing No More Change and Balancing the process

       I am new here! So 'Hi' to everyone - I trust that all are well
       and expanding...
       1 - I have a query about running these processes - it appears
       that one runs a process on one side, say Level 2 Differences
       until there is no more change, then you stop and run
       Similarities until no more change - do this repeatedly until...
       no more change.
       How does one categorise or recognise when there is 'no more
       change'?  In my space, this could be infinite - thus it would
       become overrun. If I did it till I became bored, then I would
       see bored as change and have to work through that, ad infinitum.
       This got me thinking, is it the increase of personal awareness
       to gain the skill in recognising 'no more change' that is been
       worked on here, or is that simply an effect of the process doing
       its work?
       2 - I am an engineer with a scientific slant, and I see the
       fixation on one side (difference) then the other (similarity) as
       unbalanced, so [and I know this is changing the process, so
       please let me know if this is considered a 'no-no' scenario as
       the technology behind the process means this cannot work or some
       such info] , if the TROMer were to pick an object from the past
       then find one in PT, recognise a difference, then recognise a
       similarity, and repeat - then choose another object and repeat -
       will that have the same/different result?
       It just seems that when running Level 2 - I cannot help but do
       this unconsciously and it feels 'right', I know both on viewing
       the PT object.

       Hi MJH
       Have you ever watched a movie that really upset you?  That was a
       change.
       Let’s say it was Godzilla and you find every time you think
       about Godzilla you feel upset, fearful, nauseated etc.
       That is the change referred to.
       Now if you deliberately run a process of thinking about Godzilla
       while keeping your attention on the room around you the upset
       will turn on. You think about Godzilla again and the upset gets
       less. You think about Godzilla many times and gradually you
       become blasé about Godzilla.  Eventually you can create
       Godzillas by the dozen and do this happily all day long.  That
       is no change.
       On question 2.  Part of what you are doing in TROM is learning
       to focus you attention on specific things. You focus on the past
       item then focus on the present time item etc.
       Keeping the process simple in my experience works best. A two
       step process works better than a three step process.
       One of the good things about TROM is that you can experiment
       with how you apply it to your case at will.  If you really screw
       up and tie yourself in mental knots you can run RI and get
       yourself back on an even keel.
       Sincerely
       Pete

       I don't recommend this. I recommend doing it the way Dennis
       wrote it in the manual.
       TROM is a comprehensive program intended to achieve a finite
       result. It's not just some sort of first aid.
       And if you mis-apply TROM, yeah, doing some R.I. will stabilize
       your case, but it's going to take more than that to un-do the
       damage.  If you read and understand the manual you'll know
       Dennis talks about how you'll need repairs that go beyond "a
       little bit of R.I." even if it's just because you made a mistake
       (like running a goals package that turns out to be non-life,
       just for example).
       Now Peter is saying you can just 'experiment' with it?
       This is dangerous advice.
