- 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)
- 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)
