HOW TO RESOLVE CONFLICTS

1. Read the article "The Third Party Law".

2. Essay: What is the Third Party law?

This course glossary defines Third Party Law as: a law which states that a third party must be present and unknown in every quarrel for a conflict to exist.

W/C Third Party: one who by false reports creates trouble between two people, a person and a group, or a group and another group.

The law seems to indicate: While it is commonly believed to take two to make a fight, a Third Party must exist and must develop it for actual conflict to occur. For a quarrel to occur, an unknown Third Party must be active in producing it between two potential opponents.

3. Essay: Describe an instance of this law in effect.

Pharisaical Merchants of Fear and Chaos, come to mind - every time I watch the World News. Chicken Little's sky is falling phenomena is the trademark of demagogues intent to divide and conquer stupid goy slaves with fabricated and sensationalized Space Opera-type games. I mean, Black Lives do matter - right? And illegal immigrants do have Constitutional Rights - right? These Conflicts regarding anchor points (stable datums) of a Tone 2 Society, are meant to threaten sanity. Jacob's ladder was more a prophesy than a dream! A damned Tent-Dweller, beguiling the birthright out of his cunning hunter-Brother, because the "LORD said"? Imagine that! Nature circumcised by SP nonsense.

4. Read the article "Further Discover".

5. Essay: Explain what false reports have to do with the Third Party Law

By giving false reports on others, a third party causes harm and wreaks havoc amongst individuals and groups. The basis of all really troublesome third party activities is then false reports. Of course there can also be false perception. One sees things that doesn't actually exist - and reports them as fact.

6. Practical Exercise: Damned Jacob Tent-Dwellers created Space for educated DB's to fit-in automaticities! "It's supposed to be's", and "Everybody Knows", are aped the loudest by religious fanatics. "God's chosen", so many sects say. Educated to obey, their aberrated logic is beyond reason. For instance, Zionist ambitions gun down Palestinian kids throwing rocks - as a National Security measure - paid for with U.S. tax dollars.

[Dear Sup. Incredible, isn't it?]

Pleased pardon this consideration of the grand scheme of things. The closer I get to EP, the closer I get to the Creator of apparencies in the mest'd-up Conflict of homo sap-ness, where so few think their own thoughts. In these cases I need to clarify what I mean by Nature Circumcised by Religion (Supernatural constraint), [to cut off] esp: a rite of inclusion in a religious community. The contagion of aberration is the third party culprit instigating Conflicts in Nature (more at NATION) 2a: a creative and controlling force in the universe b: an inner force - in an individual. ESSENCE.

Note: The name Jacob, by the way, means: Supplanter. Look that word up! Nevertheless, back to this Practical Exercise, specifying:

"Example": I'm currently rescuing a Type Three case who has a very low tolerance of Plus Randomity. He was hoodwinked by an SP's promise of financial gain to play a game, circumventing the bureaucratic extortion racket. Intending TO BE of Help in this game of usurping graft - first of all keyed-in A=A=A E/S overwhelming situations. Then, after all the trouble involved with the SP in control, the Type Three case was told: "others suppressed the situation"... making the Type Three ready to go berserk.

7. Practical Exercise: Watching the news on TV, I see an overwhelming flood of demagogic PAC's for/against Congressional Candidates and arbitrary Propositions - to reallocate tax funds. In my more immediate environment, Religious Fanatics resist self-determinism, much as do Executive Branch goons and Psych Dept. officials, per "Policies". Isn't it interesting to consider Third Party influence upon developing PTS cases?

8. Read the article "How To Find A Third Party".

9. Essay: How do you find a third party?

By conducting an investigation of false reports and/or false perceptions. In this way one can verify such reports and arrive at the true source of the trouble. To find a third party one has to ask those involved in the dispute questions along the following lines: Have you been told - someone was doing wrong/someone was bad/a group was bad/you were bad? What was said/who said it?

By following this procedure you will be able to discover the False Reports and/or find out exactly who has been stirring up conflicts.

10. Practical Exercise: Find two people in some kind of un-resolving quarrel or conflict - and resolve it using Third Party aw (sic).

In the instance of # 6 "Example" with the Type Three case, on the verge of going berserk, my first responsibility was to relocate Attention Units back into PT. Then, having established requisite altitude in that handling of chaos, I'd commenced to re-view Knowledge of pertinent data to help restore self-determinism. What is the definition of a PROBLEM, I queried. Then I asked what he knows of the Third Party Law. Next, I'd asked him who said what - as far as each party of the conflict was concerned. And finally, I'd asked him to identify the Instigator who promoted the blame game. The EP in this situation was utter admiration of the technological formulas (SPO's Golden Ball) which LRH spelled out for us. Indeed, ARC = KRC.

11. Practical Exercise (continued #10), Games of Accountability are my favorite games to pass-time as a Trouble Shooter, so make yourself comfortable as I review WINS! For instance; Recently I was interrogated regarding an anonymous report claiming that I'd expressed a threat against staff. This type of report usually lands the accused in the Hole pending further Investigation - unless of course the initial interrogation determines otherwise. As a Trouble Shooter, I'd merely pointed out the phenomena of False Reports, and proceeded to investigate the anonymous instigator's "Purpose" to get me thrown in the Hole. Considering that I'm not a drug dealer on another's turf, and considering nobody owes me large sums of money, I asked: Who has what to gain by instigating this potential domino effect? My cell is prime real estate which others covet - but I've been maintaining that Space for years. Everything considered, the most recent event to possibly rile-up Third Party actions would most likely be my impending assignment to a new post as the Special Purchase Order clerk... which has the Program Office clerks in such a tizzy. I've been here for a decade with good report with all staff, so in the interest of justice the charge is meritless.

Then, days after my new post assignment, the assignment was rescinded - and reassigned to the Program Office clerk's transsexual cell-mate. DB Prison Politics must make staff laugh, and who can dispute their reason?

And without going into lengthy details of other frankpledge agent Conflicts I handle regularly, let it suffice to say that Scrutiny of False Reports/False Perceptions, serves to resolve Conflicts, and very often breaks the thralldom of black enchantments. It's the most rewarding brand of pedagogy I know of!

12. Final Essay: Course Results.

I am convinced LRH explained why conflicts between people are so often difficult to remedy. Yet he also provided an immensely valuable tool that enables one to resolve any conflict, be it between neighbors, co-workers or even countries. This course spells out how to help others resolve their difference and restore peaceable relations. Unlike the many campaigns which raise a Standard of Moral Precepts in an effort to cause gang-land criminal-types to "really start skidding" (vide: SOM Lecture 3 Track 7 in re Moral Code Degradation), LRH said, and I believe; Widespread application of this Third Party law, enables one to resolve any conflict. For the Love of Truth! Understanding the Third Party Law is a tremendous help in restoring self-determinism wherever group think threatens the peace. The benefit of demonstrating aptitude on paper is that it builds confidence to apply practical Knowledge, Responsibility and Control (ARC = KRC) in my zone of influence.

Yes, I authorize all or part of this work product to be published.

Important Note

The confusion or inability to grasp or learn new material is because a person goes past a word that was not understood. The confusion comes AFTER a word the person did not have defined. Therefore, be very certain you never go past a word you do not fully understand. A good dictionary is most advantageous!
