a
word taken from the
field of artillery, where one fires shots over and under a
target so as to make sure and
hit the
target. Over and under, over and under, and one eventually hits the
target. In
Scientology processing,
running something in brackets means to
run something happening to the
individual, and to
run it happening to others because of the
individual, and to have it happening to others by others. For
example:
(1) times when the
preclear was
hit over the head with a
baseball bat,
(2) times another person was
hit over the head with a
baseball bat by the
preclear,
(3) others being
hit by others with
baseball bats. That's the
mechanics of the
bracket.
