6309C12 SHSpec-305 Service Facs

     The difficulty with getting a PC's case forward is that the PC has a
hidden standard, which is that by which he measures his progress.  It is often
unknown, even to the PC.  That is why it is "hidden".

     An aberration is an out-of-control exaggeration of the positive or
negative of anything a thetan can do. [Hence Aristotle's doctrine of the
Golden Mean.] The fact that something is normal doesn't mean that it isn't
aberrated.  For instance, the difficulty of exteriorization is accepted, but
it is not anything much in line with the thetan's abilities.  So departure
from the normal is no particular index of case state.  Auditors sometimes have
trouble because a PC runs too easily.  So in judging case level, don't use the
PC's behavior as an index.  Use the amount of TA motion.

     By running service facs, the case can change very quickly.  So worrying
about the PC's "normal" behavior is unnecessary and irrelevant.  It is easier
to measure a person's case against some scales of abilities than against
behavior, and it is more accurate.  The condition of restimulation of the case
has more to do with understanding the PC and handling him effectively than
does the PC's behavior.  The only things you worry about with a PC are:

     1. Can he do the process?

     2. Is he getting any gains?

     3. Is he getting TA motion?

     The fact that someone has a hidden standard merely means that he has a
chronic restimulation that is throwing extra charge on the case. It is some
facsimile, or whatever, in chronic restimulation.  If it was changed in the
session, the PC had a gain.  If you got TA, some of the chronic restimulation
will have gone, so the PC will have had a gain and will probably say so.
That, unfortunately, isn't all that happens with a hidden standard.  The PC is
also trying to fit every process to this thing, to resolve it.  He is so
introverted in session as a result that he doesn't as-is anything, and you
don't get TA action.  Time and the TA fit together, and the PC drags his
hidden standard facsimile up into every incident, or whatever, in order to
evaluate it.  Therefore, the PC is always misdating something.  The hidden
standard isn't the date of it, whatever date he is in.  That is why it is the
most effective TA stopper.

     There is a way of getting rid of the hidden standard: a process called
R3T, now called R4T.  In this process, one simply asks the PC for his chronic
psychosomatic -- what he is experiencing and what is always present.  He
answers, and you date it, whatever it is.  Then you get the itsa line in on
it.  In most cases, that is the end of the hidden standard.

     The hidden standard always expresses itself physiologically.  It is never
hidden physically.  It will be what the PC complains about.  Sometimes it will
take you an hour or so of itsa to find out what it is.  When the PC spots it,
he will feel better, and you will have been getting TA.  Don't let him start
giving you problems, or you have had it, since problems are not itsa.  So
perhaps you should stick to, "What physical condition are you trying to
solve?"

     He will finally itsa it out, if he doesn't tell you all at once.  If he
gives it to you right off the bat, you might get some TA with, "When has this
troubled you in auditing?" or " ... in this lifetime?" You can take it up with
R3T and date it, taking it back as far as need be.  Sometimes dating it will
cause it to blow on the spot, especially if you don't get it so narrowed down
that you get the PC into an engram and have to run it with R3R, or, if he gets
stuck in his own GPM, with R3M2, or if in another GPM, with R3N.  [R3T seems
to be the precursor to the date portion of the date/locate, for handling
intractable pressure somatics.] R3T is commonly overrun.  You've got to watch
the PC.  When you first start using R3T, you are likely to overrun it roughly
80% of the time.  Eventually you get slippy and stop overrunning it.

     Not every PC has a hidden standard, to the point where it ruins the
auditing.  But a hidden standard exists in every case that has a difficult or
delicate TA, that the auditor has to worry about.  So R3T is the weapon to use
to get the TA moving again, when all else has failed.  R3T can fix it, but a
little goes a long way.  Don't try to run the whole case with R3T, since if
you tried to do this, you could end up with a messed-up PC.  However, you
could do R3T on everything the PC is worried about in PT.  You could clear
somebody with R3T, as long as you you kept good control over the PC and just
dated all his PT hidden standards.

     The service fac has to be severely located on the time track in this
lifetime, so that it will key out.  Handle every hidden standard that the PC
could dream up.  But don't let him pull anything up from the back track in the
meantime.  Use TR-2.  If R3SC goes nowhere, you can still clear the PC using
R3T.  The tough case is the PC whose service fac is his hidden standard.  The
only workable handling is carefully to get it dated.

     This is all destimulation, so you have to be careful not to run
anything.  The reason you are trying to destimulate the case is so that the PC
doesn't have PTP's, so that he can put his attention on the session.  If you
start a destimulating action and then go backtrack and start running
something, the PC will get restimulated.  And if the PC's service fac includes
making you wrong, that is the first thing he will do.  He will try to
restimulate more than he can handle.  How do you keep the itsa line in on a PC
that wants to restimulate more?  Be awful damn careful of your whatsits.
Remove all social actions and chit-chat from your auditing.  Avoid all violent
attention shifts, and attention shifts directed by a whatsit, and don't direct
the PC's attention in a way that ARC breaks him, so that he has to get even
with you by whatsiting.

     The type of model session to use on a case that isn't getting much TA is
your W-unit type model session: no social frills.  [W unit was next after the
V unit, which was heavily supervised R2-10 and R2-12 on a co-audit basis.  W
unit contained ruds, havingness, CCH's, and assists.  It used "GF model
session" or "goal finders model session".  See HCOPL 8Dec62 "Training -- Saint
Hill Special Briefing Course: Summary of Subjects by Units" for a description
of W, X, Y, and Z units.  GF model session is given in HCOB 15Oct 2 "Goal
Finders Model Session".  This bulletin is not on the SHSBC.]
Over-restimulation leads to self-invalidation and invalidation of scientology
and other dynamics.  The PC invalidates his own case, chews himself up all the
time, and he doesn't know.  So let that be a warning sign to you.

     The case, minus the service fac, is subject to less restimulation because
he pulls in fewer PTP's in his environment.  A case without good processing
gains has PTP's.  The way to handle them is by handling service facs.  There
is a way of listing for service facs that nails PTP's:

     1. "What's a safe assumption about your environment?"

     2. "What would be a safe method of handling your problems, here and now
        in life?"

This is only one of many solutions to this situation.  Such a question will
drop into your lap the stable datum that the person is using to hold at bay
various sectors of his existence.  So in that respect, it becomes a method of
destimulating the environment.  You wind up with what he uses to handle his
family, his job, etc.  Take the PC's whole environment to pieces.  Find out
where his life is in conflict and what it is in conflict with, in PT.  Get
what PT consists of.  This orients the PC and is good Scientology I.  [See p.
479, above, for a description of Scientology I.  Note also the similarity to
the PT environment list in expanded dianetics.] You should both categorize
things and locate them spatially.  This is good for the PC's itsa.  After you
have all of PT, use the above process on it.  You could plot the PT
environment out and find where most of the PC's problems are.  The PC gets
gloomiest when talking about this area.  The TA dies down as you keep talking
about it, indicating that there are more problems there than the PC can
confront.  He can't put any itsa into the vicinity.

     As the PC looks at the stable datum that he is using to hold sectors of
existence at bay, and as he finds out more about it, you will get his confront
on the environment increasing and increasing, as his ability to differentiate
comes up.  This is a terrific HGC approach.

     Now that you know about the hot spots and fixated areas in the PC's
environment, you have subjects where he can't itsa.  You can assess by rising
TA to get a zone where there is a service fac in operation.  As long as one
can't itsa something, he will continue to have PTP's with it, so since the PC
can't confront the areas of rising TA, he will have PTP's there, make
mistakes, etc.  The frequency of PTP's is the measure of no-confront.
No-confront is caused by a substitute confront, which is a service facsimile.
It isn't that the thetan can't confront.  It is that as long as the PC has the
service fac, the things he is not-confronting can keep caving him in and
restimulating him.  Here is a lesson that you should learn about life:  Don't
stay in places that you don't want to keep confronting, because your
non-confronting will lead you to pick up a stable datum to do your confronting
for you in that vicinity, and the next thing you know, this is going to be a
gorgeous piece of mass and will give you more PTP's than you can ordinarily
count, and your life will become very restimulative.  The rising TA is less
observable than the PC's attitude.  If the PC hasn't got anything to say about
something, he isn't observing it.  Something is observing it for him, and that
something is a service fac.  Find this and run R3SC steps on it.

     If you are having trouble with R3SC, you have collided with the RI of the
PC's ongoing GPM.  It will still handle with R3SC, if with some difficulty.

     You use several assessments to get something to run on R3SC.  You can use
a scientology List One assessment or a discussion of PT doingness and
environment, with observation of where the PC goes downtone and where the TA
rises, indicating areas where the PC can't confront and itsa.  When you run
the brackets step of R3SC, you will get TA by as-ising stable data and letting
confusion fly off.  Do a thorough PC Assessment Sheet.  You can use the PC
Assessment Sheet to find out about the PC's PT, if you treat it as a leisurely
2WC activity, looking for TA action, not data, i.e.  doing it as an R3SC
assessment.  When dealing with this lifetime, let the itsa run free.  When
dealing with past track, control the itsa line very closely.  A  assessment
at Scientology IV is a rapid, bang-bang assessment.
