Should I Work/Train in Groups or One-on-one?
Beyond that, there is the factor of micromovements. When a person is learning to CRV, it is important for the trainer to communicate with the student's subconscious mind, in order to teach it that it has the right to override the conscious mind's desires to contaminate the information with imaginings, worries, fears, desires, etc. This training is performed through "body-language conversations" and other subliminal means. This is hard to do even in a one-on-one situation. It is virtually impossible to do in a group situation. It underscores, as well, the need for a well trained trainer.
QUESTION:ANSWER:
Data is data. The student is thoroughly taught to NEVER "waffle" on anything. Properly used, the data can provide learning through failure as well as it can provide learning through success. A person's "believability" factor comes not from the instructor's approval or by sitting and thinking, "Well, I know I said X here, but I probably meant Y." The "believability" factor comes from a long track record of honestly recorded data.
QUESTION:
>How can the newcomer really trust that the monitor isn't
>just jotting down the destination ad hoc?
ANSWER:
The newcomer must learn to both trust and control his/her monitor. The absolutely unalterable first rule of CRV is that the viewer is in charge of the session. If the monitor does ANYTHING to control the session in any way, the session becomes polluted and should be stopped. Part of P>S>I's viewer training is in how, as a viewer, to control the session, the monitor, any onlookers, and all other factors of the situation. The viewer is the only one who has contact with the site. It is absolutely imperative that he/she be in charge.
