6109C26 SHSpec-58  Teaching the Field -- Sec Checks

     One can always add to sec checks, but never subtract from it for a given
person, depending on his interests and activities.  This gets complicated
enough to be real to someone who's having difficulty in life.  There are lots
of different sec checks.  For instance, you could use the children's sec check
to help restore a person's memory of childhood and get all the results
Freudian psychiatry sought.

     If an auditor can run some process with great confidence of good results,
have him run that on every PC, regardless of what the PC needs.  You try not
to give him a PC who can only be run on something else.  On sec checks, you
get fast wins.  This gives an auditor reality fast.  Any auditor who has
gotten tired of auditing or upset with auditing has had a lot of loses.
Someone who doesn't want to learn how to audit has had a long series of
disasters with trying to help people.  An auditor who has an exaggerated idea
about what ought to happen in session, who gets frantic, changes processes
continually, has had loses with auditing.  So you want to give him something
that gets a fast result in order to restore their confidence in their ability
to help.

     A sec check is a good way to get results on PC's who just never cognite;
who never give you a, "What do you know!" about their cases, especially if you
use sec checks that hit on the PC's particular areas.  You can even cure a
psychosomatic illness by using the PTP of long duration as the subject of the
sec check, looking for hidden standards, which is the one thing on which his
attention is fixed.  You pay attention when the PC tells you what would have
to happen for him to know scientology works, which could be something on any
of the eight dynamics.

     When you get one that is extensional, i.e. where something would have to
happen to someone else, you'll find that it is easy to audit this on a sec
check.  You get all their overts on the other terminal with it.  This works
very well because you're separating valences and terminals.  Withholds add up
to lots more than just withholds: overts, secrecies, individuations, and games
conditions.  We're asking the person to straighten out his relationships with
another terminal.

     The normal sec check is addressed to the individual versus his society or
family, because it's what people would consider reprehensible that makes it a
withhold.  You could have special mores between husband and wife or auditor
and PC.  If a person transgresses against a moral code, he individuates; if he
individuates too obsessively, he snaps terminals and becomes it.  The security
check clears this all up.

     To get rid of a chronic somatic, you must first find something the person
really thinks is wrong, that he wants to recover from.  You can't assume that
if it's wrong, he wants it fixed.  It could well be a solution to some other
problem; it could be a service fac.  This generally starts somewhere 'way back
with some series of withholds.  Illnesses are protests against life, so you
can tailor a sec check to reach the areas of life the person is protesting
against and run it.  The psychosomatic illness will disappear.  It does take a
lot of figure-figure and detective work, the sort of problem about a case that
many auditors just love.

     So get the thing the person wants to handle, trace it back to some area
or activity.  You are looking for activities which had to do with changing the
position of mass.  The massier it is and the more change of positions, the
more aberrative it is.  Sec check the person's handling of masses and changes
of space.  If you have no clue on that, go into his most confused motional
areas.  If he's now motionless, find what he was doing prior to becoming so
motionless and find an area of intolerable activity.  Run a sec check on that
area of activity.  Get all the items and terminals in that area and invent all
possible overts against them.  A crude way to do it is to use a modification
of an existing sec check.  It is better still to mock up a new one using all
the crimes you could do in an area of tight mores.

     You could handle someone whose goal is to fix up his memory both by,
"What wouldn't you mind forgetting?" plus O/W on various terminals with
deficient perception plus find who didn't remember well or who insisted he
remember and sec check him on those people.  This will spring him into his
"What do you know!" on the subject.  You can assume if he doesn't cognite that
he's really pinned down on the area by withholds from you, from the area, and
even from himself.  The sec check will increase his freedom to know, which is
the opposite of the not-knowingness enforced by O/W.  So make a list of all
the items you can think of from his area of difficulty, ask if he's done
anything to or interfered with those items and activities.  His cognition may
come out little by little, or at last with a bang.

     The rule is that any zone of life with which a person is having
difficulty is a fruitful area for a security check.  Any area where the person
is having difficulty, he's stupid.  Stupidity is not-knowingness, which occurs
through overts.  But the overt has to be hidden, so it's withheld, so
withholds add up to stupidity, so he has trouble in the area.

     You must always assume a psychosomatic difficulty is a solution after the
fact of a confusion.  A confusion consists of change of position of particles
in time and space, predicted or unpredicted.  If they are unpredicted changes
in space, you'll have a confusion.  The PC puts attention on one particle as a
stable datum.  This is fine, except that he ends up with a psychosomatic
complaint.  To resolve the complaint, find the prior confusion and do a good
security check on the things in the vicinity of the confusion to get off the
overts that made it necessary to pull in the somatic.

     All sec checks add up to very thorough key-outs.
