In this article I want to give you a better reality of what Indicator Technique is about and how to use it in your sessions.

We look at the world through the colored glasses of our beliefs and preconceptions. It's our map of reality and sometimes it can be a pretty crazy map and not a lot much like the real world it's meant to describe. If our interpretation of the events of our life is based on a distorted map, then our emotions and resulting behavior are likely to be inappropriate and self-defeating.

If our map is based on what other people have told us, or what we decided at difficult times in the past, then our true self is limited and obscured by this previous conditioning, and will be parked in limbo and feeling pretty frustrated. We will not be our true selves in the present moment. We need to get back to making our own map, finding our own truth, based on an objective view in the present time. Then our lives will be our own and can start to be truly fulfilling.

Indicator technique is the primary tool that The Insight Project offers you to find your own objective truth. You use it in the context of the many aspects of life that The Insight Project examines in its 10 levels.

Now I'll run through the procedure of Indicator technique...

An Expression is a belief or consideration that you have about the subject being examined. It's what you think and feel, in other words, when you express yourself on the subject.

It's important to note that you begin with a reading Expression - one that gives a fall on the GSR meter when you think it or say it out loud. That can come from many different techniques that you'll learn on The Insight Project, e.g. repeater on a charged Item, an answer to a reading list question, etc. That is the Source that the cycle of Indicator Tech refers to.

For example, perhaps a correction list question like "Regarding your last session has anything been suppressed?" gives a read (Fall). Whatever comes to mind, express it. You want to get out into the open whatever has been reactivated by the question (or if you are running an Item on Repeater, whatever has been reactivated by that process).

Note: this is not a completely passive process - you adopt a "with-attention-and-looking" state. Here's an explanation of what's going on...

If you get a read it means some charge is reactivated and that charge naturally has content. Due to the reactivation it's come up from the 'Subconscious' into either the 'Preconscious' or the 'conscious' mind. If it's in the Preconscious it needs to be looked for there. One needs to be open - the charged content does indeed 'emerge' but not necessarily 'all the way' into consciousness - if it's in the Preconscious that is still a bit below the surface.

So just having a blank mind is too passive, one needs to look for what has come up, either on the surface or just below the surface of the mind. But this shouldn't be hard - the fact that it reads at all means that it is indeed accessible. You need to look for the tail of the tiger, for any hint of something there (a word or concept or feeling or resistance or enthusiasm) that you can get hold of and extract, and the rest should follow along.

If the answer to that question was "I'm still afraid of talking to my boss" and that reads when it comes into view, then that is a new Expression to put through Indicator Tech. We want to get to the truth that underlies this charged consideration that I'm afraid of talking to my boss.

If the original Expression is not reading, Indicator Tech won't work, as there is not accessible charge to clear, in order to retrieve the insight, i.e. the final Indication.

You are using the meter to access your inner knowing of your own Truth, which is obscured by the surface considerations of the mind. That inner knowing communicates through intuitive emotional responses that read on the meter.

If the Expression is not reading then your inner knowing is not accessible at the moment, the charge barrier is too thick for it to break through. There is no conflict between your knowing and the mind, so no emotional response and corresponding read. So the fact that it doesn't read doesn't mean the surface consideration is the truth! When you have removed the charge from a reading Expression through Indicator tech and then a final Expression doesn't read when you check it against the 9 given buttons, then you know you have arrived at your Truth.

To get back to the procedure, since this first Expression "I'm still afraid of talking to my boss" is reading, there will be something on one of the 9 Indicator tech buttons you check next:

True? False? Imprinted?
On True is anything being suppressed? On False is anything being suppressed? On Imprinted is anything being suppressed?
On True is anything being invalidated? On False is anything being invalidated? On Imprinted is anything being invalidated?

(You can shorten these buttons to just e.g. True Suppressed? when you're familiar with them.)

You go through all 9 up to the point that one reads. The first button that reads, you STOP right there. Then you get the next Expression drawn from the charge of that read.

If it's True (or True suppressed/invalidated) that reads, that doesn't mean you have the whole truth right there - it means there is charge about what you have expressed being true. It reads so it's accessible charge. You need to express that charge you felt on "I'm still afraid of talking to my boss" being true. There's more to it, bring it up, express your thoughts/feelings. You're looking already in the right direction but you need to go deeper, so it's like "and...?" or "Is there more to this...?" So then you get another Expression... for example, "I'm afraid because he's unpredictable, sometimes friendly, sometimes not."

If False reads first (or False suppressed/invalidated), you look in your mind, probably in a different direction than you had before, so it's like "but...?" or "Is there something else?" and you get the next Expression... e.g. "I don't know how he will respond to my request for a rise."

If Imprinted reads first (or Imprinted suppressed/invalidated) you do not "pull the read" and get a further Expression like with True and False, but you instead Indicate: "On (Source - "suppressed in last session"), the (Expression - "I'm still afraid of talking to my boss") is Imprinted."

"Imprinted" is another way of saying "not mine." You don't take it further with Imprinted as the source is not within you but someone else. It will not lead to your Truth. The thing is to make it clear that this is NOT YOU. Perhaps you have identified with the fact that everyone else in the office has a fear of the boss.

Normally, one of the buttons will read at this point, as there is charge to clear or it wouldn't have read in the first place. When it's a genuine charged item in your case, an issue you really care about - you'll have plenty of considerations come up that need sorting out to get to the truth. But if no buttons read, that means you Indicate that the Expression is Truth. It must have been a recognition read in the first place that the Expression is a Truth.

If no buttons read, you Indicate: "On (Source - "suppressed in last session"), the (Expression - "I'm still afraid of talking to my boss") is Truth."

You write the Expressions down, along with the buttons that read, and what the Indication is.

Typically there are several layers of Indicator Tech, where one reading button leads to the next Expression, put through the buttons leading to the next Expression, etc, until a final Indication. The Expressions will tend to move from an "at effect" view of things toward a "causative" viewpoint, from negative emotions to positive ones, from being victim to taking responsibility, from judgment towards acceptance.

In the above example, you might arrive at the conclusion that "the boss has a right to make up his own mind about my request, and I can accept that." Your truth will be liberating and empowering, a fear no longer relevant. If the resulting Truth is not like that then some charge has been bypassed, reads missed, etc and one needs to go back to check for this.

After a Truth is found you can do the Application Check -
How could I apply this (realization)?
Is there any fear in applying this (realization)?
and (if it reads) see if there are any insights or non-confronts about applying what you've found out in real life, and deal with any new reading Expressions from that.

An Imprint indication, of course, is not something you want to affirm - it is an idea that is NOT YOURS, whether or not it is true, but you've been identifying with it and it's been screwing up the works for that reason. After indicating Imprinted, you check: "OK, so what is my Truth?" and go from there.

MEX (misowned experiences) is done next, looking for what is now apparent in your life experience regarding misownership that this Indicator Tech cycle exposed - dramatizing another's intentions instead of your own, for example. New Expressions may come out of that and hence new cycles of Indicator tech.

REX (repetitive experiences) is done next, looking for repeated cycles in your life experience where you have enacted the untruth that this Indicator Tech cycle exposed. New Expressions may come out of that and hence new cycles of Indicator tech.

So REX/MEX are to prompt realizations if they have not already come. You can nudge this further by asking, "What can I learn from these experiences?"

When a big realization occurs at any point in all of this (the needle floats periodically back and forth, and you feel real good), usually after a revealing Indication that explains a lot, you can let the cycle go and enjoy the win.

When the cycle of Indicator tech is complete you go back to Repeater on the source Item, or whatever technique you were doing that produced the original Expression.

So that's a summary, to hopefully clear up some misunderstoods and get you going. It's really quite straightforward when you get the hang of it and the gains you will get are immense. You use Indicator tech where you want to get to your full intuitive awareness of truth. And truth is always empowering, positive and breaks through the barriers of time - that's the miracle of our spiritual nature.

Truth is only meaningful if it's your own - otherwise it is just another imprinted belief, another filter on the viewpoint of your awareness. As your awareness, responsibility and confront increase incrementally, your intuitive knowingness will expand. So your truth never becomes dogma or absolute, it always needs to remain open to revision and expansion.

When you get the hang of the basic procedure as outlined above, then read the full procedure again and add all the little details to your technique, like the various Nudge buttons. Note: a complete procedure is given in the full The Insight Project course materials that includes several powerful ways to enhance Repeater technique to come up with reading Expressions.
