PRESENT TIME PROBLEM
A special problem that exists in the physical universe now, on which the preclear has his or her attention fixed. One of the principal causes of present time problems is the communications undelivered by the individual to other people.

Usage
A present time problem is a specific problem that exists in the physical universe now and has the preclear's attention fixed on it. One of the principal causes is communications the individual has not delivered to other people.
Why It Matters
Present time problems are significant in auditing because a preclear whose attention is fixed on an existing problem cannot give full attention to the auditing process. Identifying and addressing these problems—including undelivered communications—frees the preclear's attention for processing.
