PROBLEMS ARE SOLUTIONS.

      The below posting is in part true, but deeper insight shows that
most problems are solutions to earlier not-ised failures.

      A being NEEDS problems to survive, failing too many problems he
will take to inventing lesser substitute problems to cover his earlier
failures, just to keep his engine running.

      Thus case problems serve a purpose.

      Spotting the PURPOSE to the problem, is much more useful than
talking about the problem endlessly, except to flesh it out.  If it stops
there the preclear will be left in an unwillingness and an
irresponsibility for PUTTING IT THERE.

      "Spot a problem."

      "Get the idea this problem serves a purpose."

     "Get the idea you are trying to solve the problem."
