This is a nice way of doing it, like intending the space on TR 8.
In 1968 I was doing this myself as a matter of course (without saying anything about it) whenever I did TRs with anybody. This was when I was "keyed out OT". One day I did this with another student who was in a similar keyed out state and he instantly flunked me for "putting him in a box". He felt that I was forcing his space to contract to the size of the room we were in. I hadn't told him what I was doing. When we discussed it, he said that it made him feel like he was trapped. After that I was careful to only lightly grab the corners without makeing walls rather than strongly grabbing the space as a cube.
The doctorate course spacation technique is to start with a point and extend a line from it. Then extend the line into a plane. Then either thicken the plane into a cube or extend more lines and planes from the corners until you make a box. The senior variation is to mockup your own space this way outside of physical universe space rather than intending the existing space. Mockups done in your own mocked up space are supposed to be more valuable to you and more benificial to run than mockups located in the physical universe.
Except for a few of us tech fanatics, spacation was pretty much lost by the mid 1950s. The last time I talked to somebody who had done the "OT doctorate course", he had been advised by his instructor not to try out the techniques given on the tapes because that would be self auditing (even though Ron says on the tapes that they can be successfully self audited).
Its nice to see that there are other people who liked this process as much as I did.
Best,
The Pilot
