 SUBJECT: End of Stage critique for Agent  025'ss Stage 5 &. 6 training
 SG 1 J   TO: DT ??"S   (ATTN:
 1.     (S-??;iaS)  PERIOD OF TRAINING :   025     an Stage 5 lectures by
 003 on September (:3,  1 '8# w   i-iant:is-on training began September  12,
 1988,      under my tutelage,  and finished October 21,  1988,  along
 with Stage 6 training, which was introduced during the on-going
 hands-on training period.
 2?      (S"???SS)  PROGRESS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS:   During 025's  St age 5 &
 6 training, the foll.owi,ng accomplishments were made:
 as     STAGE 5:   025 progressed through Stage 5 training very
 rapidly.        After the initial Stage 6 training,   025   began to show a
 slight bit of        confusion between the techniques for Stage 5
 regarding AOL perceptions and Stage 5 for valid signals.   A quick
 refresher brought performance back in line and no other problems
 have been noted in this area since.
 b.              STAGE, 6:  The many elements of  Stage 6 training were
 introduced ?t:.ta t?;;", cai"ie=  at- ra 't i tile, along with selected target sites
 which would give immediate practice in the technique just
 introduced.   The class was held at the designated work time,
 lasted approximately 10-15 minutes, and ended with a session
 which would utilize the material  just learned.   After all the
 techniques except two             (see below) had been learned and practiced,
 sites were selected which could use mixtures of   these techniques.
 1)    PROBING FOR PERCEPTIONS:  025 learned through
 repeated practice that all Stage 6 techniques utilize "probing".
 This principle was re-introduced with each technique,  and 025 was
 not allowed at any time to work Stage 6 using any other method.
 By the end of training, 025 was fully proficient in self-
 correcting the normal  tendency to  "slide"  over the time-line,
 scale "line, map, etc:.
 2)    MODELIi\.8:   025 produced excellent results with
 modeling  (see photographs of models in  individual  session summary
 reports).   The material  used was Pl ay--Doha   025 appears to have a
 keen sense of  3-dimensional  awareness about site characteristics,
 and very little trouble expressing them in this medium.

 3)    TiMlI'?...L...;I;ICIIICII,aa   025 quickly grasped the concept of
 time-lines, and had nc; apparent. trouble with them, either in the
 beginning or later.
 4)    MAF'f':I:NL :   During the mapping exercises, 02i5 really
 became aware of  the  clangers of  "sliding" versus the accuracy of
 "probing"     for perceptions.
 ;)    SCALE-LINING:   Scale-lining presented somewhat
 more difficulty AT-6161-TV to a tendency he/she had to
 associate the line with time progression.   Scale-lines are purely
 allegorical,  in that the RVer is not allowed to know even the
 slightest hint about what the line stands for unt.i 1  after the
 perceptions are received and recorded.   This tendency was worked
 on,  bt..tt  training may need to be refreshed an this point from time
 to time.      025's scale-lines, once divorced from the concept of
 time, provided astoundingly accurate information about the
 individual  sites.
 t's)    DOWSING: 025 was introduced to Stage 6 dowsing
 during the last se 'ssion off' training.   Instruction stressed not
 only the techniques of  Stage 6 dowsing, but also the differences
 between  it and "normal" ciowsi ng.   025 immediately understood the
 principles involved and produced a session with extraordinarily
 accurate results.   In this session, 025 was introduced to and
 given practice in both  "a.l.legor?ical.s"  Stage 6 dowsing  (where the
 RVer uses a blank sheet of paper and doesn't  know what he/she is
 looking  for)  and "actual" Stage   6 dowsing  (where the RVer uses a
 standard map and  is told what to look for on   :1t.)
 c?    AOL/AOL SIGNAL:   025 has made tremendous strides in
 being able Fa-recognize-10L.   Only one session found 025
 completely trapped  in AOL drive, and wound up in failure, but
 this is not :i.nconsi stent with the performance of  other viewers.
 Constant  attention was  given throughout all  sessi. ons  to stress
 the importance of recognizing and objectifying AOL.
 d.    REPORTING:   025's only short-fall i,nct during Stage 6
 training was the continued tendency to not stop viewing long
 enough to write perceptions i rite the Stage 6 matrix.   025 reaches
 a strong contact with the site, and must be constantly prompted
 to write perceptions down.    I do not feel  that this wi.l.l  change
 with anything besides lots of experience,    and constant pressure
 from monitors.   It will  hinder solo work however,  until     it is
 learned as an automatic reflex.
 e.     I::AI1_..L.RE.    As mentioned above, 025 had only one session
 where he/shre w
