RECESSION
  1. you may find you get into a little light engram and you find it won't lift and you go over it and then it faded away. This is recession. You can do this and three days later have a stalled case on your hands. This engram you have beaten down comes back in full force in three days. (NOTL, p. 108)
  2. during a recession the somatic of the engram first reduces slightly and then continues constant. In the reduction, the somatic, little by little each recounting, reduces. In a recession, the somatic remains steady. If a recession takes place, it means simply that an engram similar to the one which is being re-experienced is earlier on the case, or that a tremendous quantity of entheta in secondaries and locks exists above the engram that is being recessed. Recessions occur only where the auditor has not taken off enough entheta from the case in the form of locks and secondaries to permit engrams to be run. It is a premature address to engrams or it is caused by auditing in violation of the file clerk's data. (SOS, Bk. 2, p. 173)
