SHSpec-276 Summary of Modern Auditing




6306C19 SHSpec-276 Summary of Modern Auditing

     Processes fall into categories, according to which case conditions they
handle.  Cases deteriorate as they go down the time track.  One factor against
which they deteriorate is confront, and the other factor is duplication.
Confront has to do with willingness, and duplication has to do with ability.
As the PC becomes less willing to confront, he becomes less able to
duplicate.  Similarly, processes are allowed to deteriorate [and fade out of
use] through failure of willingness to confront and ability to duplicate.
CCH's, for example, went out for five years through getting down into the
effort band.  There was no duplication.  You would have a very exact sort of
process if you ran, "What are you able to/unable to duplicate?", along with
other flows.  You add more legs to it as the case needs more complexity.  A
high-scale case, not being much troubled by flows, could go far on one leg
only.  You can get different viewpoints on different flows, also.  This can
give you TA action, where you might not otherwise get it.  "You add enough
brackets to get TA." There is no perfect way to run brackets, since the number
of available flows is virtually infinite.  The idea of flows is something that
monitors all case levels and breaks its back around Level 4.  Above Level 4
any or all flows could be run.  A person well downscale, below Level 4, almost
at the bottom, can only run one flow.  Such a person can't function on any
other dynamic than the first.  He can't conceive of another viewpoint, though
he needs to run more than one flow.  There is a problem here.

     This is a problem of the dynamics:  How many can a person function on?
There are many facets of processing, by which you could match up a case to its
ideal process.  You might be able to figure out the perfect process
mathematically, but there is the point about the need for workability that we
mustn't lose sight of.  A process should not be "perfect".  It should be
complex enough to be workable.  The complexity factor also goes into the
number of processes you need.  We should not emulate modern science.  "Modern
science is a method of precisely determining overwhelming nonsense."

     We also have to determine the common denominators present in all cases.
The processes that have survived the development of scientology are those that
have broad workability.  They include ARC, the mid-ruds buttons, and common
incidents on the time track, the common denominators of all cases.
Kraepelin's list of psychiatric case types is ridiculous.  It is like saying,
"I am auditing Betty, so it is a Betty case type," or "Well, everybody is a
George case type." In the first case, you get too many case types; in the
second case, you get too few.  There is a middle ground.  This is a finite
number of case types, classified according to their behavior in auditing
sessions, and a larger but still finite number of processes.  It is only
useful to divide cases up into case types so that you can match them up to the
processes.  the case types are based on behavior in session, not in life.  You
get a finite number of them, then match them up with processes.  that raise
the PC upscale.



                                      422

     You can't expect auditors to memorize more than a few types of auditing
processes perfectly.  If you expect more of auditors than this, they end up
mixing types and styles of auditing and you get hash.  Repetitive processing
seems easy, now that you are familiar with it.  In fact, any type of
processing you have learned well presents no particular problem.

     CCH's got badly learned.  They are a kid glove type of process, since
cases that get CCH's exclusively are low on the effect scale and can't
tolerate being mauled about.  [LRH tells an anecdote about dropping CCH's
because "they weren't getting results," then giving a TVD and discovering that
no one knew what he was doing.] They had utterly alter-ised the process.  It
was then that he stopped just creating new processes and began to insist on
perfect duplication of what had already been developed.

     We stopped accumulating process types when LRH found out that it was
variation that made processes and process types stop producing results.
People shifting from the original type of process would then apparently bring
about a need for a new process type.  Process types are dependent on how many
you can keep in line.  How to keep processes in line and working is a more
important factor than you might think.  When a process seems to have stopped
working, you will find that variations from the original have crept in.  The
simpler process types tend to survive better than the more complicated ones.
They are also perhaps easier to keep in line in their unvaried form.  But even
the simpler ones will drift out of line.

     A process can die when it is too simple and gets used very seldom.  Reach
and withdraw is a good example of this type of process.  It works at Level 8
and is the only type of process you could use on an animal.  Processes that
work very slowly also tend to get dropped, since they are seldom run to a flat
point, so you don't see results.  We don't really know how much reach and
withdraw processes can do.

     Processes can vanish because of disrespect; we use one diffidently.  ARC
processing disappeared for awhile because of this.  That they are the only
workable processes for a certain type of case gets lost, and so those cases
get lost.  Reach and withdraw is one of these.  It is slow but sure and it is
almost lost from lack of respect for its potential.  There are lots of
processes in the band of reach and withdraw that are ignored.  Book and bottle
hangs right in between reach and withdraw and CCH's It contains duplication
like the latter, but is the former type of process.  Lots of cases won't move
unless run on these processes.  They won't move on CCH's.  We mustn't lose
processes.

     We have been pressing so much at the top of the scale of cases that the
bottom has been neglected, so these lower scale processes have dropped out.

     The next division in processing is what the auditor knows is wrong with
the case vs. what can be done with the case.  These can be two very different
things.  Modern processes have nothing to do with what is wrong with the case.
The viewpoint of curing specific conditions by specific processes is an
outmoded viewpoint, left over from old medical practices.  One must run what
the PC can run and not fixate on curing.  That is a sort of Q and A,

     II.  A case with a temporary relapse into heavy problems may not be able,
for the moment, to be run on problems, a repetitive-type process.  Therefore,
you had better be able to undercut problems processes.



                                      423

     "If [a] case is dramatizing something, that something is not real to the
case." That is a guiding rule of processing.  What you are guided by is not
"Are we handling what is obviously wrong with him?" but "Does the case respond
to the process that is being run on the case?  1.e. does the case get TA when
the ruds for the session are in?" You must, of course check that:

     1. The session ruds are in.

     2. Flows are in line.

     3. The process is not already flat or unsuitable.

For instance, speaking of flows, most of the stuff we run, e.g. the Helatrobus
implants, are motivators.  So if you had TA, and it ceased after you had run
several flows, the flows may be getting stuck.

     We are interested in increasing the capabilities of the case.  He should
at least be getting easier to audit, because that means that he is getting
more responsive to external orders, getting more capable of viewing his track
and pictures, getting into less trouble, getting better at locating BPC.  The
case would be getting more done per session, too.  Auditors tend not to notice
that a case is paining and winning, because they are too close to the case and
they don't observe the slow gradient.  The way to spot it is to notice how the
case was a month ago.  If the case is progressing well; if he is interested in
and happy doing what he is doing, don't change it, unless there is no TA for a
long time.  Give TA motion time to develop, also.

     It may take several sessions to establish the PC's case level.

     Run engrams using the precise system and commands given.  The precision
of the system tends to develop the PC's precision on the track.  Don't word
the item too adventurously.  Make it finite enough so that there is a hope of
reaching basic.  It should be something he is worried about and can reach.  If
you run a chain of "being held still", you are asking for lots of still
points, which may be hard to get to the root of.

     What you validate, you produce, with the exception that getting the PC to
confront what he doesn't want to lets him take over the automaticity of
producing it, so it stops being produced.

     Modern processes are built on and monitor the degree of withdrawal of the
person into himself, and those things that will lead the PC out from himself,
so he is no longer so restricted.  Thus reach and withdraw is the most basic
action.  You should have some idea about types of processes -- how and why
they work -- and what case level they are most effective on.  And you should
get good at estimating where the case must lie, and upgrading the case from
that point.  Always run the case a little steeper than it thinks it should be
run.  The reaction of the case, in terms of protest or ARC break, has almost
no bearing on whether what you are running is the right process.  You look
amidst the "Yap! Yap!" and see if the PC is running the auditing command.
Protest is a common denominator of the whole track and this universe.  It is
how the thetan makes pictured.  It is more fundamental than duplicating.

SHSpec-278 Routine 2-H




6306C25 SHSpec-278 Routine 2-H

     [See HCOB 25Jun63 "Routine 2-H -- ARC Breaks by Assessment"]

     The use of different processes has been monitored or regulated by two
things:

     1. The ability of the auditor to do the process.

     2. The efficacy of the process in advancing cases.

Both have to be taken into account.  It is important that these two factors
mesh.  Otherwise auditors tend to lose.

     What is a win or a lose in auditing?  You have to be able to define them,
or we won't be able to recognize them.  A win, in terms of thetan behavior,
is:

     1. "Intending to do something and doing it."

  or 2. "Intending not to do something and not doing it."

A lose is:

     1. "Intending to do something and not doing it."

  or 2. "Intending not to do something and doing it."

A lose gives you a disagreement.  A ridge forms between those two things.  A
ridge is a bit of entrapped energy that will read on an E-meter.  In
processing, intending to do something for a case and not doing it is a lose.
From the PC's side, it is the basic definition for a lose: if the PC sets a
goal for the session of becoming OT and doesn't make it, it is a lose, no
matter how unreal the goal was.

     An auditor's idea of a win could be not to ARC break the PC.  Then he
does, and gets a lose.  This is the intention and sole intention of many
auditors going into session.  This being the case, it demands of a process
that it work, regardless of the intention of the auditor.  That is quite a bit
to demand of an automaticity, but it is a very safe base for a process.

     Your skill as an auditor is in getting the process across and completing
an auditing cycle, keeping the form and running the session.  It does not lie
in inventing a process as you go along.  You have enough to do without having
to invent processes, although LRH used to do it.  It is feasible to dream up
the process while auditing the PC, but it is only necessary when you don't
know what to do.

     The way around this problem is to know the fundamentals of cases.  What
we expect of an auditor is to be able to complete an auditing cycle, hold the
session form together, and take care of the PC's un-form-ness as needed.  That
is minimal.  If you go lower, you haven't got an auditor, and more randomness
than order will be introduced into the session.  A person who couldn't master
a repetitive process would never make an auditor, because of the importance of
the auditing cycle.  You need to be able to acknowledge.  This is more than
just saying, "Thank you." The auditor has to understand, and it is up to the
auditor to minimize the possible breakdowns of the auditing cycle that results
from the auditor being startled by what PCs come up with.

     The auditor must be cured of a tendency to Q and A, since that is
damaging to the PC.  A common sort of Q and A is echo metering.  This drives
the PC 'round the bend.  If this is done with dating, it can ruin the PC's
precious ability to estimate time.  Any echo metering is a a and A.  Not Q and
A'ing is part of the auditing cycle.  If the PC says, "Around 750 years", you
say, "750 years." The essence of Q and A is departing from the



                                      425

auditing cycle with new doingness, because the PC has added new doingness.
This misses a PC's withhold.  The worst situation you can get into is the ARC
break caused by your taking it up, when all the PC was doing was originating.
The PC has originated and you thought it was a question or a request and acted
to handle it.  Flunk! You didn't acknowledge the origination.  You can get the
PC to clarify the origination by asking the PC, "Was that a request?"

     The final test of an auditor is not, "Is he perfect?", but "Can he
unscramble a mess by session end?" Get as good as you can get, but don't get
upset about imperfection.  Just be sure you can straighten it all out.  As an
irreducible minimum, let things go that are going well and straighten out
things that aren't.  R2-H is a new process to assist in this. [See below, p.
426, for a description of the process.  See also HCOB 25Jun63 "Routine 2H --
ARC Breaks by Assessment" for more details on the process.  This would be a
predecessor of the L-1-C.]

     R3R is a pretty rote procedure.  It has no variations.  It took 13+ years
to arrive at it.  "I intended auditors to run engrams and failed, in the
past.  I had a lose." That is why R3R came in.  The main difficulty in
handling engrams is the complexity of the procedure.  These rote steps are
pretty simple, done one by one.  R3R runs engrams better and smoother than
earlier engram running ever did.  It is quite a triumph.  The failure in
getting auditors to run engrams was enough to make LRH abandon trying for some
years.

     Of all processes, this is the one not to learn by doing it on the PC.
Don't practice running engrams on a PC.  You will tanglefoot if you don't know
the fundamentals of the time track.  Dating is an interestingly exact skill.
The hardest and trickiest step is getting the duration, because it is hard to
get the proper duration, and in rote procedure, duration is everything.  If
the PC doesn't know know what the incident is all about, you have the duration
wrong.  Why? The later part of the incident is always knowable as to length.
The question is where it really begins.  For instance, you know how long this
lifetime has been, but you don't know how long your track is.  If you get the
PC just seeing one scene every time you run him through the incident, then the
duration is wrong.  He has just got the back end of the incident.  In terms of
reality and behavior of the meter, the PC could reach the last part of the
engram.  If he can't tell you about what is happening, the duration is wrong,
because there is obviously something more to it, and that something more is
always earlier.  So you must re-do the duration.  The first incident wasn't
wrong; you've just gotten more incident.  This could happen more than once in
one incident.  If the second run is still very vague, if the PC still "doesn't
know" about the incident, if he has gotten only a few more pictures, get the
duration step re-done.  That's all you have to do!  You may have to re-do it
several times.  Just take the PC's data.  The PC will always go to the
beginning of that part of the incident which he can now reach, luckily.  This
is very uncomplicated.  And it is very important, because all that is in the
bank is in engrams.  Engram running is no longer barred to the Black V case.
Even GPM's are specialized engrams.  A GPM is just an engram with a pattern
required to run it.

     The mind is not confused.  The PC, looking at it and unable to find what
he wants, thinks that it is confused.  It is an idiotically orderly machine,
which does what you tell it to do.  Addressed by a proper technology, the mind
is incredibly precise and accurate.  The PC may think it looks confused, but
he is like



                                      426

someone on his first trip to the library.  He will be confused until he
cognites that he can just ask the librarian for what he wants and get it.  The
auditor always gets what he asks for in R3R.  The mind is not a Ouija board.
Just keep your commands sensible and comprehensible.

     The biggest problems an auditor has are:

     1. Finding the correct date and duration.

     2. ARC breaks.

Most auditors are somewhat afraid of ARC breaks.  If you haven't learned to
assess and handle ARC breaks, you are licked.  You will shortly back off from
running engrams because you will have had a lose.

     Routine 2H comes in here.  It is ARC Breaks by Assessment.  It is
superior to ARC break straightwire.  It asks the PC for an ARC break, dates
it, assesses it for BPC, locates it, and indicates it to the PC.  This puts
you at cause over ARC breaks and gives you practice at dating things that the
PC is not very nervy about, unlike engrams.

     R2H can be run on a PC at Level 6. [Dub-in of dub-in case.  See p. 415,
above.]  R3R doesn't necessarily run only engrams.  You can also run
secondaries with it, which is fine.  Just don't call it engram running.  Don't
run chains that haven't been assessed.  You risk having the chain try to
branch into another chain.  You can run locks with R3R, on a case that is not
up to running engrams.

     Getting the item to run is done by the rules of listing.  You could also
assess the 18 buttons of the prepcheck and list what they have suppressed in
this lifetime, and get a chain that you can run with TA.  If you hit one of
the Helatrobus implants, shift to R3N.  If it is another sort of GPM you hit,
go to R3N2.  Watch for dates between 38 and 52 trillion years ago, for
Helatrobus implants.

     The approach to processing has been upgraded because its target has been
upgraded.  We are not interested in clearing.  We are interested in OT's.  The
governments of the U.S. and Australia decided to get rough.  Also the Kremlin
and the U.S. are trying to form a dichotomy, expressed with nuclear fission.
We must hold the line legally (concerning E-meters) and upgrade the auditing
target to OT.

SHTVD-22 Listing Assessment for Engram Running (Part I]




6306C26 SHTVD-22 Listing Assessment for Engram Running (Part I]

     Notice the simplicity of this procedure.  [See HCOB 1Jul63 "Routine 3R:
Bulletin 4 -- Preliminary Step for a description of the procedure.] The
difficulties with it are minimal.  The skills of R2-12 are used, the rules of
listing apply, etc.  The key note of any fairly high-level case, and what
makes an incident an incident, is protest.  By protesting, a person shoves his
face towards something.  He attacks it, while he resists it.  This opposition
produces a heavy charge.  But some people aren't up to protest, so we will
assess an 18-button prepcheck list to determine the thing to assess for
engrams.

     [LRH proceeds to assess an 18-button prepcheck (with "created" left out
because it is a goal), with the prefix, "In this lifetime, have you mainly
_______ ?"  He gets a huge list of items, after nulling the 18 buttons down to
"decided".  Lists "In this Lifetime, what have you decided?" to a clean
needle.  Does goals and gains, havingness, and ends off.]



                                      427

     You just keep listing until the needle is clean without doing anything to
disturb the PC and put ruds out.  You are not looking for R/S's RR's or any
"peculiar needle phenomena".  The next step would be to null the list, "In
this lifetime what have you decided?" to one item.  If this item turns out to
be a goal, it would be run with R3N.  Otherwise, you locate an engram (chain)
that could cause such a decision in life.  Model Session was very simple and
skeletal.  If the PC had not made goals or gains, LRH would have said, "I'm
sorry you didn't make your goals/gains." If he had made some of them, the
acknowledgment would have been both "Thank you," and "Sorry."

     [This is a continuation, the next day, of the previous auditing.  The
session starts off with a missed withhold rud being run, then off and running
with L and N.  Then similar actions to the last tape.  At the end of the
session, the list was still incomplete; it was banging on everything.]

     A list should be complete, so that everything is out on nulling except
the item.  Since you know that a list's being incomplete means that the item
isn't on the list, you could, when the list is completed, just null the last
page or two and find the item.  Don't, though.

SHSpec-281 The Free Being




6307C09 SHSpec-281 The Free Being

     The SHSBC is the place that you have been coming to for the last trillion
trillion years.  It is LRH's job to make auditors who can clear up the track.
If we hadn't waited so long, it would have been easier, but two things
prevented its being done sooner:

     1. The state of civilization.

     2. The previous failure to realize that the cycle was the cycle of
        loss of the OT.

A being now had come to the point of believing that the only safe place to be
was in a meat-body civilization.  The fight, the quality of life, had been
lost.  Peculiarly enough, freedom as an OT has come down almost into PI, say
to 500 years ago, for some.  But they were lost, too.  There is no way to
obtain and maintain a stability as an OT [as things stand].  What is peculiar
about this war on OT's was that it was lost by the most powerful.

     All battles are won by a combination of force and intelligence.  Given
enough force, you don't need much intelligence (viz. nuclear bombs), but then
all you get is a short-term win.  A long-term win is achieved only by a
balance between force and intelligence.  Intelligence alone is never enough.
For instance, in the Communist takeover of Tibet, the wise men of Tibet were
powerless to prevent it.  There is an imbalance in any defeat.  Any
co-ordinated civilization, combining technology with force, and keeping force
and intelligence balanced, can make a monkey out of an OT.  Literally!  There
is an implant, four galaxies over, that taught you that you came from apes.
The whole Darwinian theory is implanted there in about a day.  In fact,
thetans had different tastes, relative to bodies.  For instance, some liked
cave-man cultures and some didn't.  This is not evolution.  It is just
different mock-ups for thetans.  The "civilizations" of tree-top pre-men and
of cave-men were just two different styles, with no evolution between them.



                                      428

     The deterioration of matter is not nearly as rapid as scientists think it
is, and the earth has been here much longer than they think.  Carbon-14 dating
methods, the measurement of time elapsed by deterioration of atoms, doesn't
work, because this deterioration doesn't occur as fast as scientists think.
Suns in this area have been burning for at least 200 trillion years.  Dark
stars, suns that look as though they have gone out, were never lit.  They
don't go out.

     So society is full of misapprehensions and stupidities that, themselves,
act as traps.  These stupidities are intelligently conceived as a means of
cohesing a society.  Ignorance is used by the intelligent as a means of
entrapment.  If everyone remains ignorant of the society, nobody can get out
of it, so they have no choice but to co-operate and keep society going.  So
these meat-body societies operate on a combination of mediocre intelligence
and mediocre force.  They make the airplane and the space ship and progress no
further.  Then they disintegrate.  Societies repeat patterns over and over
again.  Thetans get on different kicks and make these societies.  But beware
of societies with as much progress as there is on this planet.  Various
unusual forces are at work here.  This planet is evolving unusually fast,
because, for one thing, it is being used as a dumping ground.  It is on the
periphery of the galaxy.  Sun 12 is handy to other galaxies and to the center
of this galaxy.  It is still being used as a dumping ground.  For that reason,
this planet has a very heterogenous society and lots of trouble, because no
one is guiding it.  Most planets have some guiding thetan.  These don't
change.  They are rather like a little play town.  There is no master hand
guiding this planet.  If there were, there would be far less trouble than
there is.  When you take thetans that have been indoctrinated to have certain
types of societies in bodies that have been mocked up, and then they get
scooped up and dumped as unwanted in one place, you have lots of different
impulses at work, one with the other.  This produces lots of friction.  That
is what our society is.

     This society belongs, nominally, to the Espinol United Stars, or the
"Espinol United Moons, Planets, and Asteroids:  This Quarter of the Universe
is Ours." This is Sun 12. "There has been no command post occupied for this
system, now, since 1150 AD, at the time when a group on Mars was finally
abolished and vanished." You notice that at that time there was a sudden
resurgence in science and learning. It became an uncontrolled civilization,
and no one has been paying any attention to the dumping that has been going on
since.  "Nobody took any interest in this system, and [it has] been running
wild ever since that time."

     "Probably the most basic impulse on the planet is simply the basic
impulse of thetans who have been reduced to more or less meat body level,
which is total co-operation" with one another, as you see in Communism:  We
are all equal.  There must be no personalities of any kind, [and the cult of
personalities] must be banished." This is the least common denominator of
implants and indoctrination: the notion that they must have teammates.



     Why did you arrive on this planet in the condition you are in?  No good
reason, particularly.  Certainly not just because of the overt-motivator
sequence, though you will try to find the overts you did that pulled it in.
You are still trying to be reasonable and intelligent about it.  You think
that there had to be a reason.  It is true that you have overts, but "the only
reason you were ever punished was for being you, for being powerful, and for
not being quite intelligent enough....  The exact crimes were to be there and
to communicate."

     Once upon a time, "some OT came along and [for fun] ... put together a
civilization, [complete with] curbstones and hairdos.  Some other thetan came
along and [interfered in some way], so...  to get even, ... [the first] thetan
would indoctrinate his pet society on how to trap a big thetan.  So this
became the most accomplished skill that a meat body society had:  how to trap
a spirit."

     "No OT was ever so out of his mind as to depend upon any of his men or
troops to untrap him.  He never [taught] them to do that, because at the time
he was doing this, [it never occurred to him that] he would be caught....
Singularly unintelligent!" It isn't this universe that did it.  You were just
knuckleheaded.  Not enough intelligence was used, proportional to the force.
Tributes to God are tributes to the workings of an OT.  Creating the entire
universe seems like a very intelligent action, but it was knuckleheaded,
because no one worked out how to reverse it, to unbuild it, to cause things to
as-is.  This lack of intelligence was recently dramatized by Frankie the
Limper's funding the atom bomb, without building a defense against it.  OT's
in the past have employed too much force and too little intelligence.  An OT
could build anything:  atoms, molecules, suns, traps, but he didn't bother to
figure out how to turn it off when he got tired of it.  The problem came from
an insistence on matter that was to "endure forever".  This was not smart.
Eventually, that is what theta poles were made of. "That's the pole you've
been on.  Confounded things last forever....  It's possible to be trapped for
over 13.5 trillion trillion years."

     The tech for trapping thetans is vast, but there is nothing on "How do
you get him off of it?"!  Here is a problem:  how can you free thetans when
there are no OT's left.  All an OT has to do is to pull the trapped thetan off
and toss him "out in space to cool off." Seems simple, but it requires an OT,
and what if there isn't any?

     Einstein was dead wrong.  He only contributed to the ignorance by which
you get trapped.  Space wagons used to travel trillions of light years per
day.  Teleportation is a pipe dream.  You just unmock a body here and mock it
up there.  "It's not the same atoms....  The skill [of] making matter
disappear has been grievously neglected, ... like the tech of how ... [to]
free a thetan....  The failure to teach a meat body society equally to free or
to trap ... was just unintelligent." This situation is like the phenomenon of
stuck or single flows in processing, where if you run motivators long enough,
the PC will give you an overt.  You can always get trouble when you run only
one side of a flow.



                                      430

     That is important to you, because it says where you sit as a being at
this exact moment and why you are interested in the technology before you, and
why it is appearing at this time.  Everyone will tell you that this technology
is impossible.  It isn't.  It is only neglected.  They think it is impossible
because they have outflowed the reverse technology.  The technology Isn't
neglected because the lack of it didn't cause societies trouble.  It did.  The
Galactic Confederation is in trouble right now because of this lack.  The
Confederation operates on a limited OT basis.  Its hierarchy of command is
that of a limited level of OT, and it goes down from OT's at the top to the
doll body as the ship captain and the post captain, and down to meat bodies.
It is one of the few civilizations that has endured a long time just because
it has used these different levels.  They have tried to maintain a no-change
condition, which is dangerous and impossible.  If you don't improve, you
decline.  The problem of the Galactic Confederation is that they have run out
of the OT's that are needed to command units.  That is the limiting factor on
how big they could be, since not once in 80 trillion years has anyone ever
suggested repairing OT's.  They have a static and therefore declining
society.

     OT's get peculiar.  They get fitful.  They get moody.  They can get keyed
in, and all they could do about it was to subdue the errant thetan, turn a
sleep-light on him, tell him to get more solid, and take him down to the
hospital.  "I know.  I was there.  I was the guy they did it to."

     If the technology of untrapping is so vital, why hasn't someone worked on
it? Because they are afraid of the technology.  "Governments would fear OT's,
if they knew about them." The Galactic Federation, of course, does. They would
worry about how you could maintain the social strata and the fixed
organization, if every janitor could be an OT.  It would be fine if you could
restrict the technology to OT's, but it would spread to doll body and meat
body beings.  They would fear the social and political upset that would occur
if you freed thetans.  "You'd have to give them a political solution which was
as great as the political threat.  You cannot give them a tech without taking
responsibility for [it], or nobody'd listen to you.  People on earth don't
think that scientology doesn't work, [but they've been trained against the
vector of it.  They've been trained to destroy," to entrap, to set up a fixed
status of something and then work out a destructive means of entrapment with
it so people cannot leave certain social and economic strata of the society.
You are not up against Pavlov, Freud, etc.  You pose a tremendous threat to
the social structure of our current civilization.  You can tear it to pieces
by rehabilitation of thetans' tremendous power and force, which can only be
safe if there is also tremendous intelligence connected with it, so that the
greatest good for the greatest number of dynamics will be produced.  For
instance, an OT can pull the air cover.  Mammoths have been found in the polar
regions with fresh-frozen vegetables in their stomachs.  To explain this
phenomenon, it would be necessary to explain the fact that they must have been
quick-frozen in sixty seconds, in a tropical region.  What natural cataclysm
could have taken place in sixty seconds.  Somebody pulled the air cover and
gave the planet a reverse spin, because they got mad.  An OT who could do such
a thing in a fit of pique would be terribly dangerous.



                                      431

     An overt act doesn't just damage; it damages the greater number of
dynamics.  One can commit an overt act unintentionally by lacking data or not
using sufficient intelligence to see what really is for the greatest good.
But a really heavy overt act is one where one deliberately sets out to damage
the greater number of dynamics.  Keep this in mind during sec-checking.  You
should be looking for actions that are really harmful to a greater number of
dynamics, not just some irresponsible actions.  "An overt act is often
realized after the fact." You could have done it a smarter way that wouldn't
have been an overt.  So you get regret and hung-up overts.  You seldom find
anything in this lifetime that is a real deliberate overt.  It has been awhile
since the guy had power enough to do a real overt.  Some thetans will take on
their shoulders more responsibility than is rightfully theirs.  However,
running dubbed-in overts won't get them anywhere.  But under all that, there
is a real overt of magnitude.

     A phase of this universe has taken place and ended: the phase of the free
being.  The free being has lost, to solid, unintelligent, mean-level
societies.  Another cycle opens up now.  This new cycle involves a different
kind of being -- one that is as strong as the old, but experienced; not as
stupid, because now you know what the score is.  Now you have good reality on
a meat-body society and can see their political frailties and the
impossibility of obliterating them, because they start again elsewhere.  They
can be managed, handled, helped, or thrown on a reverse vector.

     The use of intelligence with force can maintain a freedom of action ...
without racking up a new bank ... and new overts," a new war against the
thetan.  There has never been a lasting or intelligent society of free beings,
for as-isness has dropped out as an ability and needs to be put back in.  But
such a society is needed, since everyone, on his own, puts everyone downscale
in the long run.  If "freedom" means "total irresponsibility", up and down the
line, you are not talking about freedom.  You are talking about catastrophe.
We don't need war.  We need a balanced technology with the ability to meld
force and intelligence.  We need knowhow and force, not knowhow in the use of
force.  We need a balanced intelligence that can reverse what one does,
unmocking matter as well as making it, freeing as well as entrapping.  If you
know how to enslave people, you should know how to free people.  If you are
going to make up matter, don't insist that it be indestructible.  In dealing
with meat body societies, don't just stir up the ant hill.  It will just
disperse and continue to grow.

     The era of total irresponsibility is over.  A long cycle is over in this
universe.  The cycle of the free being vs. the meat body society is over.  The
battle was lost, and the free being doesn't exist anymore.  We shift gears by
just putting some intelligence in with the force.

     Freedom with no barriers is insupportable.  There is nothing in this case
to be free from or to push against.  Freedom must be worked for.  If you think
that you will stay clear or OT just by never destroying anything again, you
are nuts.  Criminals should be permitted to free themselves through
compensating victims.

     Not to do things for the greatest good of the greater number of dynamics
is an overt of omission.  One can't maintain freedom in the face of failure of
such magnitude.  You cannot be or make an irresponsible OT.  We have to
continue to take responsibility for our fellows.  Not to take responsibility
for others is to lose our own freedom in the end.

SHSpec-282 Auditing Skills for R3R




6307C10 SHSpec-282 Auditing Skills for R3R

     [Some of the material in this tape is also to be found in HCOB 9Jul63 "A
Technical Summary:  The Required Skills of Processing and Why".]

     We have the exact number of skills necessary to make an OT.
Unfortunately they are not simple and they are numerous.  But they break down
to about five skills, which must be perfect.  They are:

     1. The ability to follow an auditing cycle.

     2. The ability to give it repetitively.

     3. The ability to read a meter very well.

     4. The ability to read, understand, and follow the procedure of a
        bulletin.

     5. The ability to get and keep a PC in session.

Any time an auditor cannot handle an upper-level procedure, it is because of
the fact that he cannot do one of these five basic things.  As an auditing
supervisor, knowing this will enable you to get auditing done.  If the auditor
cannot get results with a process, it is one of these skills, not the process,
is awry.  No amount of persuasion will overcome the lack of one of these
skills.

     You like to think that you are up against case level in training an
auditor.  Low case level does make it harder to teach some people, but if you
make that a criterion of whether you can train someone, you will lose.  There
is no case requirement for training.  You mustn't Q and A with the "I can't"
of someone.  If you make him do it, you make him right, not wrong.  To agree
with the "I can't" is Q and A'ing with his aberration. The D of T must never
be permitted to refuse a student, because getting into the practice of doing
so leads to limiting who can be trained to the point where no auditing gets
done.  When the instructor says, "Yes, you can't," The instructor is
invalidating the reactive mind, and the student's ability to audit
deteriorates rapidly.  It takes some people a little longer to get towards
those basics and just do them, but if you keep at it, they will get there.

     A complex technology like R3R will show up the weak points in any of your
five basics.  For instance, given what you are handling in R3R, if you Q and
A, you get major bad reactions.  2 and A occurs when the auditor doesn't make
his intention stick in the session.  He tends to become the effect of the PC.

     The level of error is always stupidly elementary and has nothing to do
with what process you are running or how complicated that is.  R3N and R3R
look very complicated.  They have a lot of steps and lots of doingness.  But
if you can do the basics of auditing, you will have no trouble.  It is
fantastic to have a process that runs engrams by rote.  All that can give you
real trouble in R3R is wrong date and wrong duration, which can result from
faulty meter reading, or faulty dating procedure.  It is difficult for an
expert meter reader to get dates and durations of engrams.  If the auditor
can't read the meter, well!!  "Wrong date doesn't mean a minor wrongness.  It
is something grossly wrong which rapidly snarls up the time track.  Wrong date
produces bypassed charge and a grouped track.  The BPC is fantastic.  If a
person has his attention on a date or something, it will tick, once, on the
meter, even if it isn't the right date.  Hence you can Q and A.  You might say
that a dub-in case is just someone who has his dates mixed up.  You could
probably cure dub-in by accurate dating.



                                      433

     Nothing drives the PC battier than to have a wrong duration.  Say the
incident is really a trillion years long and you give him a duration of two
days.  The PC tries in vain to find the beginning of the incident.  He can't,
because he is looking at something that happened two days before, so it stays
all black and gruesome.  When you get that phenomenon, you re-duration the
incident.  What made R3R workable is that "a PC has perception on any incident
that is properly dated and durationed." That is where perceptics lie.  There
are only three reasons for no perception:

     1. Wrong date.

     2. Wrong duration.

     3. It has a GPM in it.

Wrong assessment and overrun (chain already flat) give you no TA, but not
necessarily no perception.  The incident can get obscured if it has a GPM in
it because black energy goes up and obscures the engram.  This was caused by
the PC's protest in the incident.  When lights go off in an incident, look for
a GPM.  If that happens, you have to get the PC to straighten out the GPM, by
taking him to the first pair of items in it.  Get the motion out, pick up
another pair of items, get the TA motion off that pair, etc.  Just clean it up
rapidly, then run it as an engram.  It is never very long or very difficult to
run.

     There is a point where R3R and R3N cross.  Start the case on R3R and pick
up any implants that turned up while running R3R.  Check for an implant on
the duration step.  If you get onto the Helatrobus implant, clean them up!
Get the first pair of items and discharge them with rocket reads, etc., then
go back to R3R.  Use R3N as the adjunct it is.

     There are some technical details that you have to know.  These include:

     1. How to assess an ARC break.

     2. What list(s) one should use.

     3. Ability to do an accurate and thorough L and N, to a complete, but not
        overlisted list.

The source of ARC breaks on lists is incompleteness of lists.  You can,
however, assess a prepared, arbitrary list without fear of having the
"incomplete list phenomena" turn on, because the PC never started the list, so
it isn't complete.  But in a regular list, in order to get the items, you do
have to be able to do L and N, which includes metering.

     If you are having trouble with R3R, be sure that your difficulties do not
stem from troubles with getting in ruds or, say, writing while watching the
meter.  Learn to audit by fundamentals, and you will have no trouble with a
procedure that just combines the fundamentals.  Your main danger as an auditor
is being too complicated.  Recognize that the simplicities of the game are
what make it hang together and work.

     Wrong date and wrong duration are the only things that give you trouble.
Wrong assessment is very junior and generally just gives you no TA.  Because
wrong date and wrong duration are such lies, it is difficult for the PC to
as-is them.  And what happens to the track when you move to a wrong date?

     It is very hard to get the right date and duration to read, even when the
PC is in session and you are on the right chain.  Date is easier than
duration, because the beginning of the incident is so hard for PCs to see,
especially at the beginning.  One source of a wrong assessment is overrun,
when you try to go earlier than basic.



                                      434

     Case Levels 5, 6, and 7 [See pp. 414-415, above.] all have a channel
through the bank on which the PC has reality, where he can be run on engrams
without dub-in, using R3R.  So if you find that channel and run the PC in it,
the PC wins and can go on up.

SHSpec-283 ARC Breaks




6307C11 SHSpec-283 ARC Breaks

     The trouble with ARC break assessments is that you will generally have to
do them on a PC with a dirty needle.  Don't suppose you can or should clean up
the needle first, since all dirty needles are ARC breaks.  You don't try to
clean the needle and then assess for the ARC break.  The only thing that will
clean up the ARC break is the list.  All you have to do is to follow very
strictly the rule of the instant read and never miss.  An auditor who could do
that would be a pearl, and that makes ARC break assessment a splendid training
device.

     If there were no ARC breaks on the person's track, the fact of a button
going out would not cause a dirty needle.  For instance, "suppress " reads
because it is sitting on a chain of ARC breaks.  There are two elements here:

     1. The thetan's reaction to the experience he has bad with MEST and
        significance.

     2. The MEST and significance itself.

     "Nothing has to be observed in order to be." [Cf. Bishop Berkeley and his
tree falling in the middle of the forest.] A thetan's reaction to MEST and
significance must involve some contact with it.  But it can exist without
being perceived.  The relation between the MEST + significance and the
thetan's reaction is communication.  To be affected by something, one must
communicate with it or knowingly not communicate with it.  This fact
eliminates a lot of philosophical baloney.  A deliberate not-know of something
can get a thetan in trouble.  What gets the thetan in trouble is that he has
been there and didn't communicate, and he made a picture of it or protested
it, and now he doesn't want to confront the picture either, because the
significance in the picture has been added to by his reaction of not wanting
to communicate to it.  So a thetan's reaction becomes part of all observed or
carefully not observed MEST + significance.  This, then, is the new
significance of the thetan's reaction at the time, which, made into a mental
image picture, becomes the time track.

     The past is different from the present in that the thetan's picture of
the past has had the thetan's reaction added into it.  In mockups of future
track, hope or hopelessness is also added in, so the future also has reaction
added into it.  It is not often made up into pictures, though it sometimes
is.  It is just whole cloth dream-ups, not pressures against the physical
universe or actual pictures.  However, you can cause somebody to run future
track.

     So what you are auditing is a thetan's reactions to events.

     GPM's, with their balanced masses, float on the track and seem to be in
PT to the PC.  If you want to horrify someone, scatter him out of a PT that
the PC thinks is right there.  If you can't get a read on dating a facsimile
that you know is there, ask if it is tomorrow or yesterday.  This will shake
the PC out of PT, and you will get a read.  However, the PC usually ARC breaks
when you do this. You are dealing with a past that seems to be a present time
that requires a reaction to it but has already got a reaction in it.  So a
thetan takes his reaction out of the past incident and



                                      435

wears it in present time, and you have the factor of restimulation of
reaction.  His reaction of the past becomes his reaction to the present.

     When you have audited an engram, the PC's reaction to the engram becomes
part of the session time track.  It gives a faint shadow of a read if you get
the PC to spot it again.  It is not really charged; it is just the action
pattern of the observed present.  You might even be able to get another rocket
read out of a Helatrobus implant series.  At any given instant of the time
track, you can rekindle any given reaction.  The time track has reaction added
to it, making it different from PT.  PT doesn't have reaction in it, except as
borrowed from the track or added by the thetan.  You could lay out some
stretch of time in which you deliberately added happiness to everything.  If
you get someone to audit you through that time a few days later, you will get
a ridiculous amount of happiness.  The guy who is always looking for happiness
and not finding it simply doesn't put any happiness into PT.

     When you are supposed to react favorably or hopefully, but you don't feel
that way, the confusion of conflicting significances can be so great that the
whole situation seems very unreal, and you want nothing more to do with it,
and it can chew on the back of your neck from then on.  You say, "I won't look
at it," and put it away on automatic.  If you don't stir it up, life will.

     You can get things to persist just by postulating, "It will persist."
Otherwise, you can only get persistence with a lie.

     The thetan's reaction to a MEST + significance is about the reality (R)
and results in a feeling of affinity or mis-affinity (A). This reaction is
communication (C), and it is a bridge between the thetan and the MEST +
significance:

FIGURE 11

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

The reaction is monitored by past ARC, or lack of it, concerning similar MEST
+ significance of the past.

     This assumes that the PC can maintain a detached attitude.  Then it is
simple.  But say your PC's needle is nice and clean, and you ask him to recall
an ARC break.  That is a moment of miscommunication, a time when some charge
was bypassed, which has been restimulated.  The PC attributes the ARC break to
something other than the actual BPC, which introduces a lie into the situation
and causes the ARC break to persist.  Time condenses, as the PC's reaction to
the MEST + significance prevents him from retaining a detached attitude about
it all.  If you are involved in the middle of the battle, there is no time to
retain a detached attitude.  You put it on a total reaction.  This is caused
by a condensation of time.  What we really get the brunt of in this universe
is an insufficiency of time.  You get that by staying on the time track.



                                      436

     If you start protesting time, you get "too much time" on your hands.
Actually, this is an unwanted location that is blamed on time.  You start
protesting time when you have an unwanted location.  The basic lie on the
track is to confuse time and location.  A few trillion trillion years ago, you
probably didn't stick on the time track.  The further back you go, the less
you were fixed into present time.  You were slippery on the subject and could
go yesterday and tomorrow at will, as with the time machines in science
fiction.  An CT is the only real time machine.  You can't change the past and
future without recreating it.

     You weren't necessarily surrounded with the environment of PT.  This was
very useful.  You could slip around all over the place.  However, the drawback
was that since no one was fixed in time, you couldn't stay in communication
very easily, and a certain impatience was generated.  You got unpopular
because you couldn't be fixed in one spot to be communicated with.  Only
implants could "cure" this.  There had to be major louse-ups to cause
aberration on the subject.  Only GPM implants could do it.

     If you have fixed time, you get a fixed reaction, because it is an
enforced thereness.  You can't drift out of the incident.  You have very
little time.  And it is the unwanted absence or presence of time that gives
all problems.  You could clean up problems by running, "Tell me a problem you
have had.  What time was awry there?  Where was there too much/too little
time?" This isn't especially workable, being rather limited, but you could
probably get some changes, shred the bank a bit, and move him on the track.
Time is made insufficient by economics.  You could also adjust problems by
attack on location -- less effectively, but you could.  You can actually find
the spot in space and do reach and withdraw.  That is why spotting spots in
space works.  If someone had an accident with a car and a tree, you could run
reach and withdraw on the car and the tree.

     All impact is based on a scarcity of time.

     You need some very complex mechanisms to cause facsimiles to stay with a
person in PT, "bothering them all the time, with them reacting against them
all the time, to build up a tremendous lot of reactions, which then becomes
the personality of the individual.  That's the only trick" -- that is the
chief engram.  That is what makes engrams unrunnable.  But now, with R3R, we
can run them.

     Your reaction to MEST + significance is couched in various ways.  Where
those reactions tend to not communicate or to obsessively communicate, you
rough up energy.  Then it stays in the picture.  I.e. it is flowing at one
foot per second and you get it flowing at three feet per second, but it isn't
really flowing that fast, or you prevent it from flowing at one foot per
second and make it flow at one inch per second.  I.e. the normal course of
flows is interrupted because of the existence of a problem, or an obsession to
be at it or a feeling that you have got to get away from it or that it is
bad.  The result is that you bypass charge.  It is former reactions that get
rekindled there, which then throw old pictures into restimulation.  Since the
PC doesn't spot the old pictures, the present reaction is somewhat
inexplicable, and he misses the charge.  The auditor locates and indicates it,
and the PC feels better.  What has been handled is not the facsimile itself,
but the reaction factor part, which, since it is the thetan's reaction, is the
part most intimate to him.



                                      437

     It is similarity of reaction, therefore, that pulls in earlier similars.
[Cf. getting the emotion, somatic, or attitude and running chains of that.]
"The only thing that caused a restimulation of yesterday's charge was the fact
that you reacted the same way today that you reacted yesterday.  The devil
with the situation.  The reaction was the same [and, for that reason] you
pulled in yesterday's situation ... and didn't even know it....  You're not
... interested in running out yesterday's association as a facsimile. [All you
want is] to clip out one little piece of it, which is reaction, ... a
reactionectomy." When you indicate the charge, you are actually
matched-terminalling the past reaction and the present reaction, and they can
go, "Bzzzt!", and the reaction or charge can vanish.  That is all you handle
with an ARC break assessment, not the facsimile of yesterday's MEST +
significance.  You don't have to know any more than that there was an earlier
similar ARC break.

     The way to get a PC into an incident is to ask him to find the largest
object in it and tell you about it.  He will go right into the incident.

     The thetan's reaction to a MEST + significance is manifested as ARC.
Your and my "quarrels with many things that are wrong with the world is
because our reactions are quite different [from] other people's reactions to
the same things." [Hence, "To know everything is to forgive everything." You
get down past the reactions to the actual MEST + significance.] On an ARC
break, all you handle is reactions, not facsimiles.  In other words, you don't
run R3R on ARC breaks, you handle reactions.  The ARC break assessment lists
are just lists of bypassable charge, so they vary, depending on what activity
you are engaged in.

     ARC breaks never rekindle until they key in.  "An ARC break is always a
key-in.  It is never the fact, but the followup." You can almost always get
the missed withhold question to read on the ARC break assessment list, because
that is the common denominator of ARC breaks.  It requires a missed withhold
to key in an ARC break.  There could be something far more fundamental than
the missed withhold, which won't read because of the PC's preoccupation with
the missed withhold.  You can run the missed withhold and then still have to
run the ARC break.  If all you find is the key-in, not the correct bypassed
charge, the ARC break just keys in all the more.  The missed withhold only
keyed it in.  On bypassed charge lists, you may find the key-in and still have
to run out the charge. [Cf.  getting in buttons in ruds, etc.] So "missed
withhold" will read on almost any list it is on.  But there is most likely
more that has to be found.  You should continue the list, or reassess.  Make
sure that you are using the right list.  If nothing reads, you are on the
wrong list.

     All you have to do to clear up an ARC break is to locate and indicate the
correct bypassed charge.  If it takes more than that, you didn't find the
correct bypassed charge.  If you don't know that, you will give up using the
system because you think that it is not invariably workable.  One reason for a
failure to cure an ARC break is using the wrong list for assessment.  This
could happen if there was a little time spent on some other action which you
and the PC had forgotten about.

SHSpec-255 Tips on Running R3R




6307C16 SHSpec-255 Tips on Running R3R

     Auditing engrams and GPM's is a new world to many auditors, especially to
those who learned a different kind of engram handling.  This doesn't
invalidate yesterday's techniques.  They have their place, especially in the
field of healing.  We can heal things, although we have neglected this area of
responsibility, for which reason we are being attacked in the area.  So we
will collect and publish what we can do.  R2-12, for instance, can have
fantastic results, when done as a limited process.  Just don't do more than
four oppositions on one item.  Get one RI do two or three oppositions and be
happy with it.  The PC has been beaten down by his experiences on the whole
track.  He thinks nothing good can happen in the universe.  When one goodness
occurs, it is almost too much for him to have.  That is a different zone of
expectancy from making clears and OT's.  People wouldn't be able to conceive
what you meant if you said that you were making clears and OT's, although in
fact they would believe you and feel very uneasy about it.  You would have
restimulated bypassed charge, and they will always get cross with you.

     In all auditing, don't stir up more charge than you can handle.  If you
apply that to any process you run or to any program you formulate, you will
have happy PC's.  The worse off a case is, the less you stir up.  This goes
directly in the teeth of the Q and A that is yesteryear's "mental sciences".
The effect scale has to be observed.  At low levels, the person cannot receive
much of an effect, so you have to featherweight the effect to let the PC
receive it.  The more desperate the case, the more featherweight the cure.

     The technology of the preliminary assessment step for R3R lowers the
level on which it will be effective.  That bypasses the ordinary defenses of
the mind.  So when you do such an assessment, the rule of not stirring up more
charge than you can handle applies in neon lights, if you are auditing a case
at Level 7, 6, or 5. [See pp. 414-415, above, for a description of these
levels.] This person doesn't easily run engrams.  The assessment has located
the only tiny channel on the time track where the PC can confront engrams and
on which you will not find dub-in.  That is the basis on which the process has
been developed.  A case at Level 3 [See p. 414, above.  This is the case with
a partially visible time track.  can be run on any engram you can find and
won't be particularly upset or damaged by a wrong date or other error.  But a
case at Level 6 [Dub-in of dub-in case] has a barge canal a sixteenth of an
inch wider than your barge and full of roots, old stoves, and curves.  On that
channel, there is no dub-in of dub-in, and with a correct assessment, the case
will have perceptics.  This gives you the responsibility of handling the case
very carefully, by the rule of not stirring up more charge than you can
handle, because at this level, there is no process that will put the case back
together again if it falls apart.



                                      439

     The lower the case level, the fewer incidents you will find per
preliminary step.  The "chain" may be only one incident long.  Test your level
after you have run an incident.  If it doesn't read and the PC has had some
sort of cognition about it, don't choose this time to go backtrack.  If you
have an incident that the PC can run, it doesn't matter how long ago the
incident was.  If he gets TA on it, runs OK, and that is all there is to the
incident, and if there are no problems finding the date and duration, and if
there is no read on asking for an earlier incident, fine.  Do another
assessment.  Things are more likely to run longer with an upper-level case.
The clue to whether the chain is flat is TA action, not how far back basic
is.  To find out if you have run the TA out of the chain, be sure that the TA
didn't cease because of wrong date, wrong duration, or a GPM in the incident.
If none of those apply, leave it.  Those are the criteria of a flattened
chain.

     The Helatrobus implant goes as far back as 43 trillion years ago.

     The situation of having the TA cease is not the same as the situation of
not having gotten any TA.  The only reason that you have trouble with running
a case, with no TA and ARC breaks, comes down to these factors:

     1. Wrong assessment.

     2. Wrong date.

     3. Wrong duration.

     4. A GPM in the incident that you are trying to run, that you have
        collided with but have not found out about, so you have been trying to
        scan the PC through the items of the GPM.

     The worse off the case is, the weirder the assessments will look to you.
The PC may run something well that is from the backtrack and still be a
low-level case, so don't take the recentness of the incident as adjudicative
of case level.  Dating anything beyond an easily available incident becomes
very difficult.  You are very likely to mis-date and pass by incidents, and
the PC will know it, too.  GPM's are hard to date anyway, being timeless, and
a PC will have trouble staying in a place on the time track.  This can also
happen with upper-level cases, but they can take it.  A lower-level case will
plow in thoroughly.

     The preliminary steps, on a Level 4 [See p. 414, above.  This is a dub-in
case.  or Level 3, lead inevitably to a GPM.  It is about the fastest way to
find a goal you ever heard of.  If the case is running well, you can probably
run the whole goals series right there.  Any trouble you have with running a
case all goes back to the four factors given above.  Wrong assessment includes
running something that has not been assessed.  On a lower-level case, you can
spend more time assessing than running the engrams.  Test the level, after you
have something flat.  Don't run over the PC's head.  When you have flattened
the chain, leave it.  The worse off the case is, the more it moves from
nonsense to murder, so don't muddy the little channel you have to work in.
Listen to what the PC tells you about what he wants to run, but assess, before
you run it.

     The way you make work for yourself as an auditor is by doing things that
you shouldn't be doing. For instance, don't mix R3N and R3R.  Don't switch
from one to the other by mistake.



                                      440

     There is a point on the track where you can get back of and find the
basic of all GPM's.  "I've hit that point.  I haven't got it so I can hold it
steady....  I got there by the way by keying out....  Had an awful time,
recently, working out the most vicious series of GPM's on the track.  There
are five pictures, but the first one is invisible.  No goal with them.  Just
opposing items in dichotomy, four firing five times in a row for each
picture.  I ran into myself on the track trying to figure this out.  I gave
up.  Took two sessions to get it unwound, and the first picture is invisible,
so you'd always try to put a picture there, so basic is always missing.  It
makes a vacuum, and pictures pour in.  That's why later GPM's accumulate
pictures.  You get in the habit." This is the vacuum that holds the whole bank
together.  When he contacted this, LRH could hear GPM's coming apart all the
way down to PT.  Obviously, you don't try something like this on a lower-level
PC.

     Desperate conditions are hard to maintain in the face of featherweight
touches, but heavier measures, like bypassing too many goals in R3N, won't
help the case.  It is always OK to push a PC a little heavier than they can
go, but the rougher the case, the less they can take.  The ARC break is a good
test.  If the PC ARC breaks regularly, don't always blame yourself, except for
overestimating the state of case and running the process too steep.  There is
no real excuse for running a PC poorly.  But if you put the PC in an available
channel, he will run like a doll buggy, if you run him right.  Do a careful
assessment after every flattened chain, checking carefully for wrong date or
duration or a GPM in it.  PC's that don't assess easily on the standard scale
can be gotten to extend it.  "Auditing is as easy to do as it is real to the
PC."

SHSpec-286 Dating




6307C17 SHSpec-286 Dating

     "Accuracy in dating is the single most important function of the
auditor." Since last October, LRH has been studying something with intensity.
It took the preceding couple of years to determine that goals and related
mental phenomena come down to engrams and the time track.  The difficulty with
running engrams from 1950 on was the number of cases that couldn't run the
time track.  Years were spent on improving cases.  In October, the time track
assumed greater importance, up to the point where LRH discovered that the GPM
was an implant.

     At that point, we had to discover whether or not a person could go clear
without running the time track and engrams.  There had already been a lot of
failures with getting people to run on the time track.  LRH has always
operated on the assumption that everyone could make it to OT.  A few weeks ago
he had to consider whether only fifty percent could go on to OT.  This was a
serious question, which he had never before wondered about.  Research since
October has been very rough.  It has had to be done more rapidly, because it
was obvious that we didn't have much time left, as proven by the January FDA
raid.  That was one reason that LRH decided to bypass clear and go for OT.

     Clear is an an aberrated, comfortable human state which society can
accept.  OT is something else.  It is like making a "playground supervisor"
vs. a "commando".  With the government attack on scientology, we had no time
margin to let us take care of clear first, then go for OT.  So we are into
research concerning how to make an OT.  When you accelerate research, you get
problems,



                                      441

because you have taken time out where you need time.  In the last few months,
the work LRH has done per unit of time exceeds anything previously attempted.
The fact that "if you can't run the time track, you'll never get to OT"
emerged.  However, what also emerged was that with R3R, if you get the right
chain with the right date and duration, you can get anyone to run with sonic
and visio.  That wasn't a solution unless the PC also got TA action.

     TA action is the key to all case progress, because it measures charge
blown, hence improved reality and better ability to confront the track.  The
PC's reality must improve, or he can't go any earlier on the track.  If you
process someone without TA, you would be doing him more good by taking him for
a walk in the park.  "TA motion tells you how much mass you are discharging
off the reactive bank." Where TA is not moving, you are not discharging mass.
You can tell in the records that this is happening by observing that the same
goals are being set for every session, and the PC is getting only lukewarm
gains.  That co-ordinates with no TA action.  That was what caused LRH to
wonder if fifty percent would never make it to OT.

     There was the thin hope that, by running lower level processes, you could
get enough charge off so that the PC could run track with TA.  It was a pretty
frail hope.  Doing this could produce keyed-out clears, but that is not good
enough.  The world is going down fast, and no new solutions are appearing to
handle crises.  We are the only new factor in the world.  In order to meet the
present situation, the scientologist in the U.S. will have to produce at least
spectacular case results or a spectacular being.

     The problem now is: what is absence of TA?  "TA action disappears off a
case to the degree that time is in error." And there is the answer.  TA "does
not cease because you have run a wrong goal," or from ARC breaks, or a failure
to run a GPM.  It is because of wrong time.  "Time is the single source of
human aberration." This datum now emerges as a more important truth than we
had realized.  "The GPM is totally devoted to scrambling someone's time." So
if you can't get the GPM's off the case, you can't unaberrate him.  GPM's are
hard to date, but they must be gotten off the case.

     GPM's have a characteristic sound.  There is a slow statement of the
goal; in earlier GPM's, this was preceded by a "Crack!" So they sounded like
this, "Spat! ss-ss-ss-ss-ss-ss ... Spat! ... Non - sen - si - cal - ly ...
Spat!" Part of the aberrative factor is the PC's effort to speed it up, to get
it to run at a speed that he is comfortable with.  He is speedy.  Sometimes
people can't get rocket reads off of items because they don't duplicate the
speed of the items.  They go very slowly, the the thetan thinks, "why doesn't
it get over with?"

     The double-firing principle of GPM's also messed up the thetan and hung
him up in time.  It gave a positive or negative charge to two opposing
sentiments.  It hit him from the right and from the left.  It made him feel as
though he couldn't move but had to move to get out of the way of it.  He would
also get into a time-scrambler.  The total purpose of the GPM was to scramble
time.  GPM engrams are the hardest engrams to date.

     A PC can't scan through a GPM.  You have to use repeater technique,
because if you try to scan through it, it all goes black, because the PC
protested it all the way through.  In running it, you rekindle the protest he
had when he got the implant.  That turns the engram black.  Then you can't see
anything in it, and he can't move on the track, and he is all frozen up in the
thing.



                                      442

     The only thing that stops TA action is wrong dates, wrong time.  And no
TA action equals no processing.  The perfection of your auditing alone won't
solve this.  So dating accurately is necessary to get TA action.  This doesn't
mean dating down to the last microsecond.  Your errors are the gross ones,
e.g. dating something at 945 years ago, and it is really 145 trillion years
ago.  Very approximate dates back in the trillions of trillions of years ago
is vastly sloppy, but it is successful enough to get TA.

     To straighten out a case where the TA has ceased, you clean up "On time,
in auditing" or "On dating", with an eighteen-button prepcheck.  You should
also clean "Wrong dates" and "wrong time" as long as the needle is rough on
the subject.  This could in or out of auditing.  You handle by:

     1. Finding when the wrong dates were found: times when things were
        wrongly dated.  You don't, at first, redate these things.

     2. When that is all cleaned up, run down what was wrongly dated and clean
        it up with the PC, even if you have to redate it.

You will see TA action restored to the case.  You want wrong dates that the PC
guessed at or assumed earlier in auditing.  You continue to clean up the area
until the needle is really clean and all the wrongness and upset has been
cleared out of the way.  Now the PC will date easily.  Someone who is an
auditor will also need the wrong dates that he has found on PC's and his
anxiety on the subject all cleaned up, too.

     If you got the right date and right duration, you will get perception.
If the incident has a GPM in it, the perception goes off because you have
restimulated the PC's protest.  Dub-in itself is simply a phenomenon of wrong
dates.  You could produce the effect of dub-in by deliberately giving the PC a
wrong date and wrong duration and sending him to the wrong point on the
track.  Then you will get a collection of apparently dubbed-in pictures and no
TA.

     Wrong items are tough on a PC.  Wrong line plots are a result of wrong
time.  Sometimes you will flatten a chain, and the TA will go up.  This has
something to do with wrong dates more deeply seated in the case than you can
overcome without reassessment.  The PC has overstepped his own reality.

     If the PC has trouble whenever he goes on the backtrack, because it is
all unreal and he can't believe it, what is his wrong date?  It is the notion
that life began at birth.  His error on time is on the length of the time
track.  This is a trap mechanism.  Clean up all his considerations on the
subject, and his ability to run track will change.  Look at the entrapment
value of this limited-track business and see how much fuss current society's
savants make about past lives!  No one protests against truth unless they have
a vested interest in maintaining a lie.

     Every PC tends to get their track tolerance extended as they find correct
dates in the portion of the track that they can run fairly easily.  Any case
will hit a ceiling of reality on the subject of dating, but people only creak
to the degree that there is wrong time.

     A wrong date can sneak in on you without your doing any dating.  For
instance, you assume that a certain GPM is in the Helatrobus implant, when it
is really a goal that is much closer to PT.  By running it with the Helatrobus
line plot, you have incorrectly dated it.



                                      443

     Never leave a wrong goal, or, even more importantly, a wrong date on a
case.  If the case has been run on R3R and TA action is doubtful, clean up
wrong dates and all possible charge on the subject of dates, dating, etc.  If
a case is getting TA action, don't harass the PC about it, but if there are
ARC breaks, look into wrong time, always.  Also look into wrong assessment.

     Some cases are very nervy about time and wrong dates.  They can hardly
take it if you make a small error on a date.  Getting all the dates
straightened out will improve this case, even if nothing is run.  Don't
invalidate the PC by checking all his dates.  Do it periodically, just
checking for wrong dates every now and then, in session.  Date things in terms
on "years ago", since the PC has been on other planets with dating systems
that are different from Earth's AD and BC.

     The "wrong date" phenomena extend to other parts of auditing.  For
instance, the PC may be doing an objective process, walking through the room,
through facsimiles of Maypoles.  Merely in the act of doing that, the PC gets
reality on the room and gets the PC date, which straightens out the track to
that extent.  You could date the facsimiles, whenever the PC hits one and then
return the PC to walking around the room.  You could probably take a case that
couldn't remember half of this lifetime and accurately date things.  This
would give him tremendous reality on things that he had never remembered
before.

SHSpec-287 Errors in Time




6307C18 SHSpec-287 Errors in Time

     The insistence on having lived only once seems odd.  It takes more than a
GPM to produce such frenzy on the subject.  Behind all aberration and illness
there must be a lie.  "Aberration cannot exist in the presence of truth."

     Pavlov apparently never noticed that reward was one of the stimuli that
he was observing.  Communism, based on Pavlov and the physiological nature of
man, becomes disastrous when practiced.  Pavlov did a total anatomy of
punishment, but left out reward.  Capitalism works only because no one
analyzed it, and pay is still part of the system.  If capitalism were earnest
about fighting communism, it would dig up such truths and promulgate them.
Punishment does not uniformly control response at all.  It is not a constant.
Not all beings succumb to a threat of punishment.  The reward part of
existence is at least as important.  Men will do more for reward than to avoid
punishment.  The more that reward is taken away, e.g. by taxation, the more
difficulty society gets into.  The lie that Man is a driven animal is
destroying the social structure of Man.

     As long as you are trying to isolate the truth, you will be 0K, no matter
how much trouble you have in getting at the truth.  The trouble starts when
you settle on a lie and stop looking for truth.  You can have misconceptions
and still not go nuts, but when you settle on a lie and say that that is the
truth, you have had it.  The lie will pervade your life.  It takes a lie of
the "only lived once" magnitude to continue the aberration of Man.  To
maintain such a lie must take a fantastic amount of duress.  Someone must be
working at it.  All psychosomatic healing could probably be done by finding
the lie about the somatic.  For instance, you could use the command, "Recall a
lie behind (the psychosomatic)."



                                      444

     What would be the most disastrous type of lie?  It would be one about
time.  Here is how to aberrate someone:  give him a false time track.  Implant
him with a false past, complete with pictures and times, times in the order of
magnitude of a thetan's actual existence of trillions and trillions of years.
Only wrong time will freeze a case, as reflected in frozen TA.  So this must
be a pervasive common denominator of aberration.  This suggests processes,
like "Recall a lie about time," or dating everything in the PC's lifetime.
Hence the importance of history.  With this view of the subject of time, LRH
investigated to see if someone earlier had played around with people's time in
the past.  Sure enough, there were implanted times and areas of track where
time was utterly confused and incomprehensible.  You could get a guy fixed up
with enough false pasts that he would dramatize them.  He would get the
opinion that he should never return on the time track because it is too
dangerous or too confusing.  You could confuse the guy further by giving him
some incomprehensible dates.

     R3R is good enough to be able to find a moment when a false past was
installed, date it, and find its duration and then run it out.  The incident
pretends to be trillions of years long when it was really two or three hours
long.  The common denominator of these incidents is that the point where you
approached is commonly repeated in the incident.  One moment is actual; the
other is a picture of it in the incident.  So you get two beginnings as well
as two departures, commonly.  Such implants also have a mechanism showing
troops marching to the PC (the beginning) and troops marching away (the end),
with numbers running along the sides of these implanted pictures to give their
times.  The implant will often have these pictures of beginning and end
reversed.  It is very confusing.

     The way you can tell false track is that it really doesn't move.  There
is no time in false track for all the details between major events, and the
sound is seldom included.  True time track is more sequitur, but can have
periods of anaten.  The reason the PC is likely to be on false track is that
most of it, except for the beginning and end points, is safer and less
uncomfortable than actual track.

     False track is a lie about time.  It may have dates neatly placed on the
sides.  One thing you can say about false track is that no GPM is on false
track.  This would be pointless.  They may be implants, but they are not on
false track.  So if you are running a GPM, it is not the false time track.
You can find GPM's and date them.  There are two things that you want to know
when you find an incident and date it:

     1. Does it contain opposite-firing items, in which case it is a GPM.

     2. Does it contain any false past?

You need this data, discouraging though it seems to say so.  On false track,
be especially alert for false date and duration.

     The Darwinian theory is just an implant, putting out the idea that Man is
mud.  It starts with a goal: "to persist".  They have you in a cell, so they
start by showing you being in a cell.  Then they show you pictures of your
arriving in the cell to be implanted.  Then they show you, complete with
pictures like a movie, all that has happened to you.  This is background data
that lets you know how mean you are.  Then they show you being implanted.
While you are watching, you are having the Hell picked out of you by
electronic mass stacking around your body.  You are hit with electronic



                                      445

waves, and the mass becomes associated with the pictures.  Nothing at all is
said.  There is no sonic in this incident.  Some false pasts do have sonic,
but beware of running things in these incidents that aren't there.  The
Darwinian implant makes evolution appear true, but it isn't.  When there are
horses on a planet, it is because someone came along and mocked up some
horses.

     This sort of false past implant was done a lot before the Helatrobus
implants.  Some was also done after the Helatrobus implants.  You have to know
about this in order to get dates corrected.  You have to know that some are
false, not just wrong.  Look for false pasts, not false dates, per se.  The
time track can also contain a false future.  Fortune tellers practice this to
this day.  Someone who is always trying to know the future is just dramatizing
a false future implant.

     Sound and motion are seldom found in false track incidents.  Rather,
these incidents tend to jump from still to still, more like lantern slides
than a movie.  The Helatrobus, Dear, Gorilla, and Glade implants don't use
pictures. The Helatrobus implant only uses pictures of a railway and a house.
In the Gorilla and Bear implants, they have a guy with a pink striped shirt,
with a monkey, or sometimes a gorilla, that they put on the cart with you.
This is not the same as getting a whole set of pictures that purport to be
your past or future, while getting electronic blasts.

     False track can get in the way of running actual track.  Some of it is
pretty incredible, but if "false past" doesn't read, go ahead and run it.  Run
it anyway, even if it is false.  Maybe you will be able to find the real
beginning.  However, it is hard to find the beginning of a false-past
incident.

     When you run across something in a session, handle it, but don't louse up
your PC.  When you start correcting dates, you will run into false pasts and
futures.  So beware of re-dating.  Just get in and clean up first the fact
that it is a false past and run it, so you won't have it in the way.  If you
locate a source of wrong dates, don't ask for another source of wrong dates.
Run the one you have.  Here is a rule:  When you have your hands on an
incident that contains a false past or future, run it with R3R to get it off
the track.  Get its actual duration.  The real beginning of the incident and
also its end are hard to find, since such incidents generally have two
beginnings and two ends.  Don't do anything extraordinary.  Just be prepared
to re-duration it if necessary.  Don't just re-date it and leave it, because
thousands of dates will have been restimulated in the course of auditing, and
finding it again will be difficult, apart from the fact that that incident is
all you should run anyway until you have run it out.  So when you have your
hands on something, handle it.  Don't leave the PC struggling with it while
you try to do something else.

     Remember that your major auditing cycle is to accomplish some particular
result on the PC.  If you get into something outside the perimeter of what you
were going to do, don't neglect it, because it may never show up again. When
you have found the source of the PC's upset, what else is there to find?  If
you invalidate the source, how will you accomplish you major purpose?  Don't
bypass achieving what you set out to do.  A cognition can signal the end of
your major auditing cycle.

SHSpec-289 ARC Breaks and the Comm Cycle




6307C24 SHSpec-289 ARC Breaks and the Comm Cycle

     Current model session is pretty short.  Since-mid-ruds and pulling missed
withholds is better than the previous beginning ruds.  An ARC break assessment
at end of session is much better than any end-ruds we had in the old model
session, if all lines are cleaned up as they read.  Presession stuff is the
same as always.  She rest of the model session goes like this:

     1. Goals for the session.

     2. Since-mid-ruds, if TA up or needle dirty.

     3. Check for and pull any missed withholds.

     4. Body of the session.

          a. Use whatever is necessary to get him through.

          b. Chat a little before ending the body of the session.

     5. ARC break assessment, if the PC is not very happy at end of session.
        The wording of this is still very fixed.  The only problem is on what
        to do if a rud question is clean.  Asking the PC if he agrees it is
        clean can cause an ARC break if the PC feels that it is impossible for
        the question to be really clean.

     6. Take up each goal from (1), above.  Acknowledge the PC for each one
        made.

     7. Ask for any gains made in session.  Don't milk this question.
        Acknowledge these by saying "Thank you for making these gains."

     8. Can squeeze.

     9. End of session.

     The reason for a rough needle on the PC is the auditor's out-TR-2 and
TR-4.  "Clean up TR-2 and TR-4, and you'll clean up more needles than you can
shake a stick at.  It isn't the significance of it, you see.  It's the calm
flow of the auditing cycle." During ARC break assessments, "you normally
consider a dirty needle [to be] a withhold [or] something the PC has done."
But weak or overly heavy TR-2 can do it as well.

     There are two comm cycles in an auditing cycle:

          1. Auditor ------------> PC.

          2. PC      ------------> auditor.

These cycles can operate independently.  Both have to be very acceptable
before you get a good auditing cycle.  The PC doesn't even have to say
anything for communication to exist.  Thus, from the auditor, you can get an
R-factor as an independent comm cycle, and from the PC you can get a PC
origination as an independent comm cycle from the PC, as in TR-4.  In this
case, an acknowledgment is not even really necessary.  An artificial
acknowledgment can knock an origination off its base.  You can handle these
with a head nod or a facial expression.  The PC origination only needs a ghost
of an acknowledgment for the PC to know that the auditor got it.  If it is
something that seems funny to the PC and to the auditor, it is OK for the
auditor just to laugh with the PC.  If you can "project your think tank", you
don't need TR-2.  Sometimes an acknowledgment can indicate no understanding
on the part of the auditor.  The PC only needs to be sure that you
understand.

     A good auditor of children obeys kids' auditing commands.



                                      447

     In R3R, you don't have to ask the PC whether he has done the command.  On
"Move to the beginning of the incident," he doesn't have to tell you that he
has done it.  You will get a meter-flick when he is there, and you can send
him through from that point.  If the PC gives you gobbledygook, do not tell
the PC that you didn't understand.  That is a powerful phrase to use.
Furthermore, by saying that, all you have done, essentially, is to ask him to
repeat what he has just said.  This is a peculiarity of Homo Sapiens.  You
just get the same words again.  That doesn't help.  You are just asking for a
complete ARC break.  You want the PC to vary the statement.  What you want is
an explanation or a broader statement, so you have to be able to get him to do
that without invalidating him.

     Here we get the basis of the ARC break: there is a bunged-up
communication cycle, whatever else there is.  What is bunged up about it is
that the communication is not fully detected and understood.  Lacking those
points, there is no comm cycle.  The intention of the PC is cause, distance,
effect, and that cycle is interfered with so that the communication is not
fully detected.  This is the woof and warp of all ARC breaks:  communication
that is partially but not fully detected.  Or, you could detect something but
not receive it.  For instance, say the PC says that he feels fine and doesn't
need to continue.  You say, "well, that's fine, but we will continue, to fill
in the time." Here, the PC sees that the communication is not received,
because no action is taken.  You said that it should be something else before
it arrived at you.  Therefore there is a busted communication line.  You can
get a roaring ARC break on this.  This is a primary cause of ARC breaks.  In
this case, A, R, and C are out because U is out.  Actually, the communication
is detected.

     Expectations come into this.  You can yell at a rock.  Since you don't
expect detection, you don't ARC break.  Auditing is different because the
expectations are different.

     There are no other kinds of ARC breaks.  All of them are based on the
communication cycle.  The whole definition of bypassed charge is "partially
detected".  It had to be partially detected, because it must have been stirred
up.  "A comm cycle, once begun, must go through." If it doesn't, there will be
trouble, eventually.

     You would think that people at cocktail parties would always be bypassing
charge on each other, because they are always partially detecting that someone
spoke.  The only reason wog meat bodies don't explode during cocktail parties
is that they are armored.  "They don't expect anybody to hear them, so there's
never any partially detected charge [comm]." It is very dangerous to ask for a
communication and then fail to acknowledge what is received as a result of
your request.  You are inviting an explosion in doing that.

     For instance, an auditor asks for the "earliest incident".  The PC can't
give it and ARC breaks, because the question kicks in an earlier incident than
the one he can see, which he cannot reach.  Thus the PC's bank gets only
partially detected, and you get an ARC break.  If the time track is like a
bunch of mines laid out in a line and activated magnetically, let's say you
want mine number 4.  You throw a magnet to mine number 8, then you wonder why
you get an explosion.  Mine number 8 speaks, but it is only partially
detected.  One way to locate the earlier incident is to find its order of
magnitude of years ago.

     A comm cycle, once begun, must go through, or there will be an upset.
E.g. the President promises to communicate to everyone.



                                      448

but lacks the ability to carry through.  This gives the background for the
revolution.

     People who don't know anything about the communication cycle find this
all so threatening and dangerous that they just decide to withdraw from
communicating, because they don't understand what is happening or how to
remedy the upset.  Desperation only enters in when communication goes out.
Think of the sessions when you have gotten desperate.  Your response to the PC
ebbs and flows to the degree that you could put a comm between yourself and
the aberration that's bothering him and straighten it out and see the evidence
of its discharge." You don't worry about a case for any other reason.  When
you can't seem to reach the PC or the bank with your comm, you get worried and
upset.  When you are upset as an auditor, see what communication you are not
getting home to the PC, and you, as an auditor will feel better.

     If the PC is miserable, a comm cycle is awry, but this could happen in
various ways, from the PC's point of view.  "Some comm cycle has begun.  It
hasn't been ... fully detected, ... and it hasn't been understood." That is
the basis of low ARC or ARC breaks in your PCs.  Even when the PC doesn't have
an ARC break, realizing this point will help you understand something about
your PC that you hadn't seen before.  Keep on figuring out whether you are
bypassing any charge.  The basis of low ARC or ARC breaks is:

     1. Some comm cycle has begun.

     2. It hasn't been fully detected, but has been slightly detected.

     3. It hasn't been understood.

Actually, in any PC you are going to see an out comm cycle, because he isn't
OT.  The telepathic cycle is usually out.  There can be the mundane result of
the PC not having ever understood the command and at least faintly knowing
it.  The reason that it is an ARC break is that the non-understanding brings
in A and R.  It is the A and R factors that tend to make the C not
understood.  Something didn't go through.

     "An incomplete comm cycle always results in BPC." You should know that
that simple little outness can bring the living lightning.  You should also
know that the cause and effect always work in that direction.  The
"catastrophe" that you are handling has a simple little outness as its origin,
not a complex bear.

     The basic things that won't go through and get detected are A, R, and C.
And the basic things that these three face are M, E, S, and T.  So you have
the livingness of the person, ARC vs. the material universe, or MEST.  Or it
is the individual vs. time.  That is what keeps the A, K, and C from
completing the communication cycle.  There is a lie in the individual's
communication with time or with time's communication with the individual.

     "Bypassed charge originates as the beginning of a comm cycle" that is not
wholly detected or understood.  Charge is energy excited and channeled to go
in a certain direction.  But it never arrives, because it is not wholly
detected or understood.  So it always remains as BPC, then explodes in a
dispersal of some sort.  It does not always explode.  Sometimes it just
results in a downtone PC who is "not feeling so well, lately".

     "We know the magic of ... the explosive nature of interpersonal
relationships." Knowing these things, you should be able to handle a session
better.  Don't be afraid that "handling" means always doing what the PC says.
Just let the PC know that you got his origination and understood it, and go
ahead and do what you are



                                      449

doing.  "You've got to be an expert in the detection of a communication that
has begun.  The better you are, ... the fewer ARC breaks you'll have."

     The ARC break assessment covers the number of types of comm that can be
started and not detected in the activity you are doing, so that you can find
the correct BPC and not have to shotgun it with something like, "An earlier
incident was restimulated." Deciding which list to use could be a problem.
Look in the right place.  "If the ARC break is in the session and you do an
R3R ARC break form, you [won't] find it." Therefore, use the right list.  If
you don't get the BPC, you are using the wrong list.  Get the right one.  Just
realize that deciding which is the right list could be a problem and use
another list if you didn't find she ARC break.  The main mistake you could
make is not to be sure everything is fine with the PC after you have "handled"
the ARC break.  Make sure that you are right about the BPC.

     Lists "locate the type of charge bypassed, the type of comm cycle that
began and was never completed....  Now it's up to you to...  locate and
indicate to the PC the charge.  The charge is not on the list.  It is in the
PC....  The assessment is not the location," even though the magic is good
enough so that you can often get a result just by indicating what was
assessed.  You only actually get a type of charge, not the charge, with the
assessment.  You must still locate and indicate the specific charge.  If you
tell the PC what you got on the assessment and he feels better, fine.  Let
sleeping dogs lie.  But, if he doesn't feel better or if there is still charge
there, find the exact charge that was bypassed.  You may need another list to
get it.

     So there are five steps to handling BPC with an ARC break assessment:

     1. Find out if there is an ARC break.

     2. Assess the appropriate list.

     3. Locate the exact BPC.

     4. Indicate it to the PC.

     5. Check whether the indication was all right with the PC.

If it is a wrong date, check the one's you have gotten, or see if it is in the
first or the last half of the session.

SHSpec-290 Comm Cycle in Auditing




6307C25 SHSpec-290 Comm Cycle in Auditing

     [Illustrations for this lecture are contained in HCOB 74Aug63 "Lecture
Graphs".]

     Most auditors, early on, get the idea that there are all kinds of PCs:
good and bad.  There are PCs who are nervier about comm breakdowns than
others, but practically no PC can stand up against a good comm cycle.  The
difficulty an auditor has comes from his own auditing cycle and his
impatience.

     There are two comm cycles in the auditing comm cycle, one with the
auditor at cause, one with the PC at cause.  They are only connected by the
fact that the auditor has calculatedly restimulated something in the PC which
the PC discharges on his half of the cycle.  That is the whole game of the
auditing cycle.  [See Fig. 12]



                                      450

FIGURE 12: THE BASIC AUDITING COMM CYCLE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

     Some auditing breaks down because the auditor is unwilling to restimulate
the PC.  If the PC doesn't answer the auditing question, he never gets rid of
the restimulation.  If the PC alter-ises, e.g.  if he alter-ises the question
[or if he alter-ises the data from the bank], then every restimulation gives
rise to an alter-is.  The cycle of acknowledgment is another little shadow
cycle, a fade-out.  [See Fig. 13] Another shadow cycle is the auditor seeing
that the PC has received the auditing command.  You can tell by locking at him
that he didn't get it, or that he is doing something peculiar with it.  So do
look at the PC to find out.

FIGURE 13: THE FULL AUDITING COMM CYCLE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]



                                      451

     So there are really seven comm cycles in the auditing cycle:  the four
main ones, plus three more:

     1. Observing that the PC is ready to receive the auditing command.
        Failure to do this one can cause trouble, if the PC is hung up on the
        previous cycle.  He doesn't really get the command if he wasn't ready
        to receive it.

     2. Observing that the PC got the acknowledgment.

     3. A tiny one before the acknowledgment, which is seeing whether the
        PC has or hasn't said all he is going to say.  If you acknowledge him
        before he has said all, you haven't let one line flow to its end, so
        the acknowledgment can't actually go through, and the lines jam.

When you violate one of these comm cycles, you will get trouble, in which case
you might need more cycles to unsnarl it, so the auditing cycle can occur.

     There's another comm cycle inside the auditing cycle, which is between
the PC and the bank.  [See Fig. 141 You have an effect produced by the
auditing command which results in a cause, the restimulation causing the PC to
outflow.  It is actually two comm cycles there: PC to bank and bank to PC.
Then you get PC to auditor.  The latter is actually the least important of the
cycles, except when it isn't being done.  And it is the hardest to detect when
it isn't being done.

FIGURE 14: THE EXPANDED BASIC AUDITING COMM CYCLE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

     What is mainly wrong with your auditing cycle is that you have confused
some of the comm cycles within it.  When you are doing a complicated action
like R2H, if you are nervy on handling a basic tool like the auditing cycle,
break it down and work on it while doing something simple on an easy PC. Then
you will find out where it is jammed up.



                                      452

     There is a different auditing cycle inside the regular auditing cycle,
which occurs when the PC originates.  [See Fig. 15]  Just handle it as its own
drill.  It handles any origin, including the PC throwing down the cans.  The
pattern of cause-distance-effect is reversed, because the PC is now being
cause at the start of the cycle.  What the PC causes has to be understood, so
there can be some little comm cycles where the auditor gets it clarified.
What the auditor uses to clarify it mustn't just cause the PC to repeat
himself.  "Tell me some more about that," is a good approach, but whatever you
use isn't rote.  Once the origination has been clarified, the auditor
acknowledges and can then resume the regular cycle, if the PC is ready for
it.  Also, at the beginning of the PC's origination cycle, the auditor should
observe that the PC is about to originate and shut up and make the comm cycle
of "I'm listening".

FIGURE 15: THE PRECLEAR ORIGINATION COMM CYCLE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

     The fact that duplication is part of the comm cycle carries it over into
A, R, C and U.  This makes the auditing comm cycle different from the military
comm cycle, which doesn't require understanding:

     Military Cycle:  Cause-distance-effect-compliance

     Auditing Cycle:  Cause-distance-effect-understanding.

Hence the auditing comm cycle involves A and R too.  There has to be A and R
at the effect point, because of duplication, and there had better be A and R
at the cause point also.  So there should be ARC at both the cause point and
the effect point.

     The TR's handle comm cycles, from one side or another.  A full auditing
cycle would need a full-dress TR, above what is covered in TR's 0-4.



                                      453

     A and R come into TR-1.  It is one thing to enunciate syllables clearly
and another to have an understandable communication.  R is involved; it has to
be duplicatable.  An accent can get in the way of duplication.  It is up to
the auditor to be comprehensible, from the point of view of accent, diction,
and sense, since if the auditor is not comprehended by the PC, TR-1 is out and
no comm cycle or auditing takes place.

     Then there is the PC who doesn't want to be audited at all.  Here you
have to establish a comm cycle with some trick, like "Tell me why you
shouldn't be audited." Or if the PC ia misemotional and the A is out, you can
do an ARC break assessment in order to pick up what is awry with the comm
cycles between the PC and himself, where the BPC lies.

     A repetitive auditing cycle is a specialized activity.  It gets you in
trouble if you don't realize that there is a point beyond which you shouldn't
be trying to complete the cycle.  That point is an ability regained.  That EP
is of senior importance.

     The major auditing cycle has as its EP ability regained.  Junior to that
is the process cycle, which, in turn, is made up of single auditing cycles,
repeated as needed.  So the cycles that exist in auditing are:

     1. A single auditing cycle.

     2. A process cycle.

     3. A major auditing cycle.

Indications of flatness in a process cycle are:

     1. Three equal comm lags, with the PC confidently doing the process.

     2. A minor cognition; a win.

     3. TA flat.

     4. Major cognition.

     5. Ability regained.

The above EP's are given in ascending order of seniority.  (1) and (2) are
both absolute minimums.  The first real flat point is when all the TA has been
run out of a process.  A major cognition takes precedence over the TA
criterion.  To continue over a major cognition invalidates the PC.  The senior
EP is ability regained, which is also the EP of a major auditing cycle.

SHSpec-291 Auditing Comm Cycles -- Definition of an Auditor




6308C06 SHSpec-291 Auditing Comm Cycles -- Definition of an Auditor

     "That mixture which is not shaken, stagnates." For that reason, we have
checksheet changes.  People who ask for changes in organizational structure
overlook the fact that the character of this planet and its population makes
it practically impossible to do anything with this planet.  It takes
incredible stress and planning to get anything done.  On the backtrack, one ia
used to operating with ease and swiftness.  This planet is different.

     This planet was part of a Federation, and passed out of its control due
to war, etc.  This federation has been called the Markab Confederacy.  This
sounds space-opera-ish, but if it is true, is should be stated, whether it is
acceptable or not.  The planets of the confederacy united, out of fragments of
earlier civilizations, over the past 200,000 years, but it is not native to
this galaxy.  In the past 200,000 years, mental implanting has been taking
place that is not native to earlier track.  The Markabians have the basic
problem of how to kill a thetan.  The best way to hide your overts is to give
someone amnesia and tell



                                      454

them that something else happened.  That's what is going on here.  Their ideal
is the conformist.  What they are conforming to is pretty scummy and
low-toned.  Their standard choice citizen is the contented wage slave.  This
leaves the artist, the brilliant engineer, the manager, the criminal, and the
pervert all persona non grata.  They are afraid of all these types, so they
condemn them to perpetual amnesia, calling it being "dead forever".  Then they
ship them here.  So on this planet, we have a minimal number of workers and a
maximal number of artists, geniuses, managers, criminals, and perverts.  How
do you make an organization out of these dudes? They are all non-conformists.
Therefore the difficulty you get in organizations with these people is
alter-is.

     This has led to a civilization on this planet that is totally different
from the civilization that planted it here, until recently, when current
western civilization started to look like the Markab Confederacy.  The fact
that current western civilization has the same image as the Markab Confederacy
makes this civilization restimulative; it makes it look dangerous.  One of the
highest crimes in the Markab civilization is error in income tax.  That makes
matters relating to income tax very restimulative, here.

     The material of the between-lives area is contained in What to Audit [A
History of Man, pp. 65-66].  The Markabians have not launched a big reaction
to the fact that their secrets are out, probably because they fear that a
landing in force would restore everyone's memory and blow the amnesia.  People
get mad at governments and organizations on this planet because they are
really mad at the Markabian government.  Almost unbelievable force was used by
the Markabians to create the amnesia.  You can easily restimulate people's
amnesia by giving them some data about the Markabians.  It seems very unreal
to them.

     As an auditor, therefore, you are handling the roughest case in the
universe.  To rehabilitate the individual, you have to rehabilitate his
knowingness.  Charge on the case represents lost knowingness.  As the case
moves up the line, you get an odd phenomenon:  the case remembers more.  One
kind of memory that is restored is picture memory.  At an advanced state, the
PC can tell the difference between a false and a genuine picture.  He
graduates up to simply knowing, without depending on pictures, up to a point
of knowing who and where he has been, independent of cross-proof.  Knowingness
is slow to increase, but it does rise.  Over the top of that
identity-knowingness, which is still rather general, comes detailed
knowingness, e.g. knowing how you got here, why you are here, and other
details of the past, without pictures.  That is the restoration of the
beingness of the individual.  It returns gradually, bit by bit, along this
gradient.

     What does it take to bring about such a total amnesia? A total explosion
of a spaceship in his face, twice, was enough to be a little confusing to
LRH.  It takes far more force than that to destroy someone's memory to the
point where he would have a case.  The force also has to be combined with
trickery: scrambling dates, giving balanced items, etc., to keep the thetan's
memories scrambled.

     The amount of force it took is what the auditor has to get off the case.
It's easier for the auditor and the PC to confront things like unknownness
than to confront force.  But the force must be confronted.  E.g., in running
O/W, getting off critical thoughts does nothing for the case.  There's
something done behind



                                      455

it, which contains energy and must be gotten off.  It is the energy contained
in a done that makes it hard to confront -- harder to confront than some
random think.

     The mission of an auditor is the restoration of a person's awareness,
which includes a restoration of his memory, his identity.  What holds it down
is force, used with trickery.  Thus an individual gets an ARC break with
force, and then becomes the effect of force.  So you are handling someone who
has lots of ARC breaks with beings, matter energy, space, time, location, and
form.  That is a PC.  An auditor has to be somebody who can release this force
from the PC.  TA movement registers relief of force in the reactive mind.
Force is being removed from the case as long as the TA is in motion.  When
force is aberrated by trickery, the TA hangs up until the trickery, e.g. wrong
dates, is handled.

     You don't always have to run a process to get the TA moving, i.e. a
particular curative process.  If the TA is moving, the PC will eventually go
OT.  Auditing in the absence of TA motion will never produce an OT.  If you
run the right significance off the case and get TA action, you will make an OT
quicker.  But running the right significances without TA won't do it, while
getting TA alone, on anything, right or not, will eventually give you an OT.
If might take thousands of hours, if you audited a person randomly.  IA motion
indicates the blowing off of encysted force, as it leaves the case.  When you
run the right significances, it speeds up the case, because you are running
the force off early track, and you get extra charge blowing which doesn't all
show up on the meter.  Sometimes you will see a repetitive blowdown as a
remote force area blows up.

     The most fundamental method of making a TA move is not running a
process.  It is the basic definition of an auditor: a listener.  It is up to
the auditor to permit the PC to blow the mass that has been restimulated by
the process, which he does by listening.  His basic job is to listen, not to
restimulate.  We can get away with restimulating charge because we can talk to
each other.  The only way to get rid of reactive charge is by a communication
line.  That is the only method [Cf. Axiom 51].  The auditor only gets hit by
the charge if he stops it from flowing across the comm line.  All therapies
from time immemorial have consisted of listening.  But what makes auditing
different is the TA action which the auditor produces by restimulating charge
and letting the PC blow the restimulated charge.

     The auditor gives the command.  It crosses the distance and hits the bank
square in a confrontable aberrated area.  The bank now causes an effect on the
PC.  The PC now becomes cause as he tells the auditor about it, answering the
question.  The PC gains some knowingness, when he observes what happens when
the command reaches him.

     Additionally, life is always giving commands to the PC and restimulating
all sorts of charge.  As the PC tells you about his between-sessions
activities, with or without since-mid-ruds, TA occurs as he gets that
restimulation communicated to you.

     This shows that the line from the PC to the auditor is a little senior to
and more important than the auditor's line to the PC.  In the former line, you
will find all auditing failures, providing any process at all has been run.
If the case was loused up by auditing, we inspect the TA in judging a
particular process.  If there was TA on the process, the process was OK, as
far as getting the cause-distance effect of the PC to the auditor goes.



                                      456

When that line goes out, the restimulation flows back to hit the PC.  Where
else can it go?  You see the first symptom of that line going out in the PC's
dirty needle.  The auditor isn't listening.  He is doing something to shut the
PC up.  The line with the PC at cause may take many times as long as the one
from auditor to PC, as the PC examines something, undoes identification, gets
force off, and gains knowingness.  The more TA action you get, the more
positive the PC sounds, even in just one auditing cycle.  A TA blowdown
accompanies returning knowingness on the part of the PC.

     The names of these main lines in the auditing cycle are the what's-it
line (from auditor to PC) and the itsa line (from PC to auditor).  The tone
arm follows a pattern:  it goes up on a what's-it (possibly the reverse
happens on a low-TA case), and it comes down on an itsa.  A high TA shows you
restimulated but unresolved charge.  When charge flows across the comm line,
it as-ises and the TA moves down.

     Knowing scientology, if you were in the Galactic Confederation now, you
would be enthroned.  You could fix up all the messed-up OT's, as long as you
could listen.  In the confederation, your PCs Wouldn't have all the enforced
amnesia you have to get rid of with an earth PC.  It would be like the
difference between auditing an earth case and an ant.

     The progression of events that occur when an itsa line goes out and is
not restored is the following:

     1. Dirty needle.

     2. Stuck TA.

     3. ARC break.

The itsa line is the most fruitful source of BPC: charge restimulated and not
allowed to flow out.  There are no ARC breaky PCs.  There are only auditors
who don't listen.

     The only crime you can commit by letting the PC talk is to do it without
getting TA action.  What about the PC who is just talking motivators?  Well,
they don't get TA from it.  Besides, someone who is just motivating is already
in an ARC break.  So you should find the BPC so that the itsa line, which is
the the same as just talk, can get in again.  So let the PC talk, as long as
you are getting TA action and no longer.  Don't acknowledge; just look
intelligent and nod if the PC looks brighter at you.  This is case Level 2
[See p. 414, above, for a description of this level.] auditing, by the way, if
the PC is telling you all about the track.  Lower down the case levels, you
have to direct the PC's attention more.

SHSpec-292 R2H Fundamentals




6308C07 SHSpec-292 R2H Fundamentals

     R2H is one of the most satisfying processes you have ever run.  [For a
description of R2H, see HCOB 25Jun63 "Routine 2H:  ARC Breaks by Assessment
and p. 426, above.] It takes apart ARC breaks by assessment.  However, it
falls apart with inexpert handling.  It is different from any process we have
ever had in dianetics and scientology.  It has great power.  It will run
engrams and secondaries and may be senior to R3R.  The only thing it won't run
is a GPM, which must be run with R3M and R3N.  R3M gets you the patterns of
wildcat engrams.  [On R3M, see p. 382 for references.  On R3N, see pp. 414 and
426, above.] R3M is how you got the GPM patterns in the first case.  In R3M,
don't ask the criss-cross question on oppose.  I would ask, "What does the
next pair consist



                                      457

of?" or "Give me the oppterm of the third pair?", then "What would oppose
that?" R3N presupposes that you have the reliable items.  On some PC's, if
they don't random list, you don't get TA.  Random listing gets off the locks,
so you must still do this, even if you have the item.  The main thing that
causes the TA to rise and stick in R3N is wrong date or wrong GPM pattern.  A
cut itsa line will, additionally, send the TA up and stick it.

     A GPM is hard to date and floats on the track, because its purpose was to
foul up time.  The opposing items firing at each other sound like time to the
PC.  The GPM floats in time and produces a no-change situation.  This makes it
perilously easy to misdate one.  Also, there is an implant basic to the
Helatrobus implants but much earlier, which looks the same as the Helatrobus
implant.  It is at about trillions-4 (1048>s) years ago.  It is far more
aberrative than the Helatrobus implants.  That ia the one that they put on the
screens in the between-lives area. [See A History of Man, pp. 65-66.] GPM's
are the only things that need to be audited with a special technique.

     R2H has the potential for running whole-track engrams and secondaries
better than R3R, by taking all the BPC out of them and letting them snap back
to where they should be on the track.  We are not actually trying to erase
everybody's time track in toto.  We are trying to take out of the time track
the things that prevent the PC from having his pictures.  We are trying to
pull the PC's havingness up to the point where he doesn't need pictures in
order to know who he is.  If you can take the charge off of his unconfrontable
pictures, pictures that deny the knowledge of the track to him, he can have
pictures or not, as he chooses.

     The main pictures that louse things up are GPM's.  However, because the
between-lives implant has the target of invalidating all your pictures,
restimulating implants, and wiping out identity and memory, many people who
are upset about auditing might think that you are trying to do this.  Telling
the PC that you are going to erase his time track will, therefore, cause an
overwhelm.

     LRH was thinking about outer space tactics and figured that lack of comm
is the main trouble.  He speculated about entering societies from within, with
communication and wondered what would happen if we put up a Markab
headquarters, complete with flag, etc.  They, when they arrive, they would
think we are still loyal, etc.  But the reaction of the earth's population to
the symbols could be rather wild.  The point is that when you tell the PC that
you are going to erase his time track he goes into a propitiative anaten,
because that is what has been done.  However, if he had heard that you were
going to return him his pictures, he would feel very different.  Pictures, if
inimical, can be disowned.  The PC's real trouble is the pictures that keep
him from seeing his pictures.  Of course, they are his pictures too, but he
disowns them.  You are only trying to pick out and handle pictures that bar
other pictures.  When you have done this, you will wind up with a case Level 2
[See p. 414, above], with all his pictures.  Then you can get at the automatic
mechanism of picture-making and place it under the PC's determinism, whereupon
you have got an OT. [Level 1.  See p. 414, above.]

     There is an interesting point that can occur in auditing, where the PC
may disown the time track and just say, "Well, I don't know who I am, but I
am."  From there on, you can have the track back, with knowingness.



                                      458

     You could go at this another way.  Instead of erasing pictures, bring up
the PC's confront on pictures to the point where he could face the hostile
ones and understand them without flinching or misowning them.  This is
comparable to the old exteriorization approach, except that it gets the PC to
confront his pictures.  R2H, well run, can give the PC greater ownership of
pictures, and it makes the pictures better and prettier.

     Life and beingness consist of potentials and abilities -- not things, but
the ability or potential to have A, R, and C.  "Degree of livingness is
measured by ARC: how much [ARC] is a guy capable of?" And degree of ARC is
measured by the amount of livingness a person is capable of.  Think of it as
potential for having affinity.

     What is ARC ARC with?  With other beings.  Usually, communication with
other beings goes out through MEST, i.e. it uses MEST vias. One usually has
ARC with other beings through MEST.  One can, however, communicate
telepathically even without high ARC, in some civilizations.  There are such
things as telepathic vocotypers.  Telepathy is a hard-hitting force.  It can
pick up the thoughts or fears of a thetan down the line who is also being
subjected to implanting.  ARC can also go "way above telepathy.  Below a
certain level, ARC depends on MEST for its communication medium.  ARC only
really gets important after one drops away from telepathic communication,
because it is so present before then that no one thinks of it.  When you
introduce MEST into comm lines, ARC becomes the measure of life.

     So one could be in ARC with thetans, matter, energy, space, time, form,
or location.  Those are the principal things to be in ARC with. [See Fig. 16]
The ARC an individual has expresses the degree

FIGURE 16: LIFE POTENTIAL AND THE THINGS OF LIFE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]



                                      459

to which he can be at cause over thetans, matter, energy, space, time, form,
and location.  The potential of ARC of the individual gives the degree to
which he can be at cause over the things of life.  The less life he has, the
less he is.  As a thetan gets more and more solid, he can have less and less
ARC, because he must have gone out of ARC with MEST, form and location, or it
wouldn't be piled on him without his choice.  So he must have had ARC breaks
with these things.  But how could he, without having ARC breaks with other
thetans?  It is probable that he did have ARC breaks with other thetans.  And
it was having ARC breaks with other thetans that led him, normally, to have
ARC breaks with MEST, form, and location.  Not necessarily, but normally.  The
more the ARC, the more direct the communication.  The less the ARC, the more
you need MEST to get across a communication.  So as the thetan rises up the
line, he rises back up to direct communication, direct reality, and direct
affinity with other beings.  When you drop away from telepathy, you enter MEST
into the line, and ARC becomes subordinate to MEST.  The less the ARC, the
more you need MEST to get across a communication.  Then you get very low,
where a thetan communicates to MEST, not just through it.

     Man is not mud.  But a man who wasn't alive at all would think muddily
and reach mud-like, confused conclusions.  That is the condition of other
mental "sciences" today.  Their adherents are so far away from other beings
that they are talking to MEST, not through it.  This is like the kid beating
his red wagon, or cussing MEST objects.  This situation is different from
investing MEST with life and other-determining it, which is on another
harmonic.  You are perfectly capable of mocking up a living being or investing
matter with life and then other-determining it and having it walk around and
talk.  This is a potential discussed in Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science
[Apparently in the form of a discussion of installing demon circuits in the
mind.  See pp. 32, 60-617. But what if you felt that another living being is
no more capable than a shoe?  What if you divested a living being of life?
That is how far south people have gone.

     ARC breaks with thetans, matter, energy, space, time, form, and location
bring about the dwindling spiral of decreased ARC.  One believes that it is
deteriorated, but it never really deteriorates.  R2H forecasts that by
clearing up a person's ARC breaks.  The auditor returns to the PC his ARC
potential.  By cleaning up ARC breaks with MEST things, you can clean up ARC
breaks with pictures of those things in the reactive mind.  Hence the reactive
mind becomes more accessible and confrontable, since thetans, matter, energy,
space, time, form, and location are what the pictures in the bank are images
of.  Thus, in auditing, one clears up ARC breaks with things in pictures that
the PC cannot confront in his reactive mind.  Therefore, the bank becomes more
confrontable, and it opens up.  The basic concept of R2H is that the reactive
mind is a reservoir of ARC breaks.

     Space:  Space is the cure for no-confront.  The button of the bank is "no
space", so that it is right on top of you.

     Time:  You get an apparent absence of time in the reactive bank, in the
presence of a totality of time.  You get a nothing where a something is and a
something where a nothing is.  That's what makes the bank reactive:
instantaneous response, regardless of when the response was laid in.



                                      460

     Form:  This relates to aesthetic taste.  The PC's reactive mind has a
close-up stockpile of those forms that the PC has detested the most.

     Location:  A = A = A.  An example is running an Australian incident as
being in England.  Or, you are poking around planets that are light-years
away, without knowing it.  When you run such things, they may spring back to
their proper locations.

     The problem is identification or disassociation.  "Disassociation is the
reverse of identification.  Two things which should be seen to be similar are
seen to be madly different." R2H helps the PC to differentiate all the
identifications of thetans, MEST, forms, and locations that he is afflicted
with.  You could also run into disassociation, if you really put in the itsa
line.  The PC will be giving you all the disassociations he runs into, as he
looks over whatever it takes to answer your question.  He should see a
similarity between your question and his answer, but he doesn't, at first, so
you will get non-sequitur responses.  These are things that are on the PC's
mind, as he tries to answer the question.  Hence, to get them off his mind, he
says them.  The thing to do here is to wait until the disassociation is run
out.  Eventually, the PC will answer the question.

     Disassociation is an inversion of identification, which also gives an
inversion of ARC.  You get a restimulation factor that works this way:

     1. The PC knew a girl with pink hair.

     2. Therefore girls with pink hair aren't to be trusted.

     3. Therefore nothing pink must be trusted.

     4. The PC knows a fellow named "Pink" who brushes his teeth, so he had
        better not brush his teeth any more.

Below disassociation, you go into an inversion, and you get more
identifications.  At lower levels, good comm is shooting people.  ARC doesn't
just decline ; it inverts, and then inverts again.  There is no bottom, but
odd things happen on the way down.  Beingnesses, forms, and memory can die,
but not the individual.  There is some method of communication all the way
down, because ARC never ceases.  You can get into weird versions of reach and
withdraw.  For instance, you have to go through the anger band.

     So if you can improve C, R, or A, you can keep raising the triangle by
running ARC breaks, as in R2H.  The main limit of the process is the limit of
communication of the command, "Recall an ARC break," but that can be
communicated with a little work, if need be.  Furthermore, it is therapeutic
to someone just to comprehend the definition of "ARC break".

     You don't care what the PC is ARC broken with.  In GPM's, you may get ARC
breaks with MEST for obeying implanters and with implanters for debasing MEST
to this use.  It is an up-scale case that recognizes a real ARC break with
MEST.  It all works out if you just follow the formal structure of R2H:

     1. Ask for an ARC break.

     2. Get what it was.

     3. Get where it was.

     4. Get when it was.

     5. Do an assessment, cleaning every line as it reads.

     6. Work the ARC break over until the PC feels fine about it and it no
        longer reads.



                                      461

     Take what the PC gives you.  Don't probe.  The PC may get into trouble
getting "when".  You use your meter to help out only when the PC is in despair
about the time and has utterly given up.  Then just tell him what you have
seen reading.  That is your meter-dating.  You can watch the meter while the
PC gives possible dates.

     Repair of R2H:

     1. When the TA is hung up, you have a wrong date, and you had better find
        it.

     2. You can also get in big mid-ruds on the session or the process,
        because the PC has recalled ARC breaks that he has suppressed and that
        he hasn't told the auditor.

     3. The PC can ARC break in the session because of an ARC break in the
        past.

     4. You may have missed a read on the assessment, so you don't have the
        right BPC.

     When you get a read on a line of the R2H assessment, be sure to take it
up with the PC by getting the PC to tell you more specific data about the
reading line.  E.g. on "Had some emotion been rejected?", you must find out
what emotion was rejected.  Don't just indicate the generality to the PC,
since that won't handle the ARC break.  It is not the correct BPC.  If this
doesn't work, then one of the factors listed above under "repairs is out.  If
the PC protests a line, fine.  Don't shove it down his throat, but come back
to it later.  It just wasn't ready to be answered.  You should get BD's on
finding the correct BPC.  If you don't get BD's with running ARC breaks, you
are going to have trouble with future ARC breaks.  You must find the BPC.
Getting one doesn't necessarily mean the ARC break is fully cleaned up, so
check with the PC and notice the meter, after you have gotten one BD.  You ask
the PC how he feels about the ARC break and watch the meter like a hawk.  If
the meter is clean and the PC ia OK now, don't go on, or you will be after a
withhold of nothing, and you will create an ARC break.  Do not keep cleaning a
clean.  If the ARC break isn't clean, continue running it.

     It doesn't matter how many ARC breaks you handle per session.  What
matters is how much TA you get.  Don't leave an ARC break until it reads
smooth as glass.  If an ARC break doesn't blow down, you are asking for future
trouble, because you have bypassed some charge without cleaning it up.  The
mechanism that you are operating on is that the incident will blow if the
mis-aligned or bypassed charge is knocked out, and that ARC breaks are caused
by bypassed charge.  If you find the BPC, there won't be an ARC break, and the
PC's bank will straighten out.  Clearing an ARC break depends on itsa.  The
slippiness of the process of running an ARC break depends on knowing when to
leave it and letting the PC get charge off with itsa.  You could theoretically
get the PC all the way to OT with this, just by getting the charge off.

SHSpec-293 R2H Assessment




6308C08 SHSpec-293 R2H Assessment

     The original meaning of the symbol "8" has to do with money.  It
represents two money bags, one on top of the other.

     How can you evolve a List 1 for R2H? This has really taken some doing.
R2H is a process with a new rationale.  It is the case Level 2 process [See p.
414, above, for a description of Level 2].  It is not just headed at OT, but
it would give you free needles as a clear waystop, in many cases.  You would
get key-out phenomena that would give you the straightened-out track that
would look very like case Level 2.  It is really only a key-out, but it would
have the attributes of clear.  If you combined it with R3N, when necessary, to
get GPM's out of the way, it would take you to case Level 1.

     A recent policy letter [30Jul63 "Current Planning"] gave a series of
scientology levels [See also p. 479, re Scn-1 and Scn 2]:

     Scn 1:  P.E. level scientology.

     Scn 2:  Healing; care of the body.  Contains HPA/HCA.

     Scn 3:  Advanced auditing and academy courses, leading up to the
             phenomenon of clear.

     Scn 4:  Research towards OT.  This contains the present material: R2H,
             R3R, R3N.

     Scn 5:  Social, political, and organizational scientology, or what an OT
             does about it.

     The various levels compare with the classifications of auditors, which is
convenient.  It puts more order into the subject and its materials:

     Class 1:  He can listen.

     Class 2:  He can do CCH's, run repetitive processes, or cure something.

     Class 3:  He can make a better human being.

     Class 4:  He can make an OT.

     Class 5:  He can make a sane universe.

     R2H can be used at scientology Levels 2, 3, and 4.  It is phenomenal to
have a process that can be used at so many levels.  It would be putting a lot
of stress on the theory of ARC, to ask of R2H that it reach into Level 4, and
some holes in what we knew of ARC showed up.  R2H turns out to be inadequate
for certain kinds of work.

     The only frailty of R2H, given an auditor who listens, and a meter that
reacts, is in the list used.  If one specific type of charge was missing from
a list and you used that list on all ARC breaks, that specific type of charge
would tend to charge up on the case.  It would be restimulated and encysted.
Eventually, it would gum up the track and overwhelm the PC.  So the weak point
of R2H is the embraciveness of the list used.  LRH cooked up all sorts of
fancy systems and finally hit on the formula that would give an embracive
list.  It is very simple, like the itsa line.  [See Fig. 17] The full
derivation formula is as follows:  The CDEI scale has an upper and a lower
band which were previously missing.  "Known" and "unknown" go above CDEI.  You
never get curious about something you know about, so knowingness must have
disintegrated down to unknownesses.  Therefore, things must be unknown before
you enter CDEI at all.  In the Logics, we have had the datum, "An unknown can
cause a confusion," so that is how it fits in.  [Actually, this is not in the
Logics.  Dianetic Axioms 105: "An unknown datum can produce data of plus or
minus randomity." and 107: "Data of plus or minus randomity depends for its
confusion on former plus or minus randomity or absent data." may be relevant,
here.] The "know"



                                      463

at the top of this expanded CDEI scale is below "not-know", the First
Postulate.[See p. 14, above.  The "know" on this expanded CDEI scale is
evidently equivalent to "know about", the Second postulate.  "Unknow" on this
scale, then, is evidently equivalent to "forget", the Third Postulate.]
"Unknow" is not the same as "not-know".  You never get curious about something
you know about, so "unknow" would have to intervene between "know" and
"curious about", on this scale.  Below CDEI, there is a lower band: nothing,
an absence, nothing to inhibit.  That is the "black panther" mechanism of
"ignore it".  Man routinely does nothing about things.

FIGURE 17: THE EXPANDED CDEI ASSESSMENT SCALE

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]

Below that, there is one more level: falsify.  Falsifying puts something else
there, so that now you can get the whole scale again on an inversion.  The
"false" at the bottom of one scale becomes the "known" at the top of the lower
inversion scale.  So there is a known falseness, then unknown falseness, then
curious about the falseness, etc.. all the way down.  So you get perversions
of perversions, falsifications of falsifications, as you descend into lower
and lower inversions of the scale.  So, in this universe, one probably never
sees "know", but always a form of "false".  Finally, you get modern science,
based on the false premise that Man is mud.



                                      464

     The pure CDEI scale wouldn't handle engrams because it was incomplete and
didn't invert the way the full scale does.  The pure CDEI scale still shows
only one band, say 2.0-1.0, of the tone scale, whereas every time you go
through one cycle of this expanded CDEI scale, you drop 7.0 on the tone
scale.

     Now you can look at ARC for an incident and ARC for an earlier incident.
To each level of the expanded CDEI scale we also add "missed withhold", and
all this dives you the List 1, [See Fig. 17, p. 463, above.] containing "the
totality of all possible combinations of charge on an ARC break," all possible
levels that will have all possible reactions for everybody.  So, combining
them, you've got attitude, reality, communication, and missed withhold on each
of the eight questions, plus all these on earlier incidents, giving you a
total List 1 with 64 questions.  That is how you would evolve List 1 if you
were off in the boondocks.

     You could use this schema by assessing the CDEI scale on the incident
first, then assessing the level with A, R, C, and missed withhold.  The
current List 1 is really the inhibit scale.  You wouldn't have to put in
KUCDEIOF on a missed withhold.  On lower level cases, some on the levels of
the expanded CDEI scale are null anyway.  You can eliminate K, U, C, D, E, and
0, leaving you with I and F as the most potent sources of ARC breaks, because
of the low case level with which you are dealing.  So for beginning cases,
this would leave a 16 question list.  As you go upscale, you find, after
awhile, that your list falls short, so that you have to add E (as "too
much").  Someone at case Level 2 [See p. 414, above] would need a still more
expanded list.  Don't have anything missing on List 1.  The Dale Carnegie
course is a course in the creation of and maintenance of false realities.
Psychiatry isn't even up to this.  Lower case levels probably need "emotion"
on the scale, as well as "attitude", representing affinity, in order for it to
communicate to the PC.  After all, the whole know-to-mystery scale can go
under "affinity".

     You might wonder why we don't expand this schema to include "overt".  The
answer is that O/W mushes engrams and ruins pictures.  Overts and prepcheck
buttons ruin the energy structure of an engram, because of GPM's, etc.  The
buttons are too powerful and fundamental.  It takes a certain amount of
aberration to hold the picture together ao that you can run it.  But the
buttons of ARC and CDEI only strip charge out of the engrams and make pictures
better.  Big mid-ruds are OK for use on the physical universe, as in ruds,
because the physical universe won't unmock easily, at lower case levels.
However, perhaps when the PC gets up the line into case Level 1, using big
mid-ruds on the physical universe would be dangerous too!  We don't want the
list to be too beefed up so that it mushes things up too much.  That would
defeat the purposes of R2H.

     The heaviest button on the list turns out to be "falsity".  That is what
the thetan objects to most, and it is also what he feels guiltiest about.
Falsity aberrates because it destroys trust.  It is part of every theta trap,
and it accounts for lots of ARC breaks with MEST.

     The way to get the most TA out of a list would be to go down the list,
preassessing it then take the biggest read and have the PC explain and itsa
about it [Method 5]. Sometimes when you use this method, some PCs will drag
the BPC that got restimulated on an earlier part of the assessment on through
the rest of the list with him.  Such PCs would do better being cleaned up
level by level,



                                      465

as you go along [Method 3].  But if you do it that way, the major charge that
would give you a BD has been bled of charge to the point that this major
charge won't read much on the list.  You should therefore take any change of
characteristic as a read.  You get that difficulty in exchange for no dirty
needle.  The best solution might be a preassessment that narrows the search.
Too abbreviated a list leaves you with BPC and a high TA.

     Charge moves the time wrong in an incident.  The incident is charged,
say, because of something that happened in 1912, but the incident is in 1920.
You could miss this, leaving BPC and eventually getting a stuck high TA, from
the wrong date.

     A process that would be a TA pump would be: "Recall a worry.  What was it
about?"  From this you get a TA pump consisting of an alternating what's-it
and itsa.  This is not particularly therapeutic.  One other point:  What if
you had a PC who got TA but got no better?  His failure to get better would be
an apparency.  Eventually, he would go OT, but it could take thousands of
years.  However, you also have to run the right significances.  You also have
to complete cycles.  No case change may result from shifting processes on the
PC, that you were getting TA on.  With this happening, the case could still
get better, but uncomfortably.  Also, you can restimulate things on a case
that don't get handled for some time.  For instance, you could, early on, get
screen-restimulated engrams that could not be run out right away.  This would
be an unnecessary restimulation of charge.

     Getting better is not how the PC feels, but whether he is getting more
knowingness and more ability.  Also, current state is not a measure of getting
better.  For instance, a person may have had a good memory and awareness
level, and had it knocked out in the last between-lives.  This, then, would be
a temporary condition.  You have to review a case over at least thirty days to
know what the true state of affairs is.

 SHSpec-294 Auditing Tips




6308C14  SHSpec-294 Auditing Tips

     1.  Audit to a gain, for a result.

     2   The PC is always right.

     3.  The significance is less important than the TA action.

     4.  "TA action on the right significance brings about faster clearing."

     5.  "The right significance and no TA action equals no case gain."

     6.  "Keep the itsa line in."

     7.  "Get TA action."

     8.  When training an auditor, get him to figure out how many ways you can
         cut an itsa line.  "The smoothest auditing is the auditing which
         least cuts the itsa line." "Auditor" means "listener".

     9.  "It takes a lie to hold aberration in place."

     10. Serious aberration surrenders easily.  "It's the mediocre-type
         aberration that takes the long haul."

     11. The primary difference between scientology and psychiatry is that
         psychiatry is authoritarian and tells the person what is wrong with
         him, often introducing a new lie.  Scientology finds out what is
         wrong with the person from the person, and then knows more about it
         than the person, but listens anyway.

     12. "Listening is the badge of Superior knowledge.  He who has privileged
         to listen." Only he who has no superior knowledge talks all the
         time.

     With this data, you could evolve all of scientology.



                                      466

     Don't discount the knowledge of scientology, even though you don't use it
to evaluate for the PC.  If a PC feels unreal about having lived for, say, 30
trillion years, let him go through the unreality and run it out.  He will
natter about how unreal it is.  He has never talked about an unreality
before.  But in the process of talking about it, he is raising his ARC with
whatever it is, albeit slowly.  A PC has two kinds of talk: theta talk and
entheta talk.  Auditing consists of two actions, corresponding to these two
kinds of talk:

     1. Listening, with TA action.  This is getting theta talk out of the PC,
        keeping the itsa line in.  It is theta the PC is generating that is
        blowing his bank apart.

     2. Locating, e.g. by assessment, trapped charge.  "Entheta talk is
        handled by locating the impeded charge of theta which is barriered in
        the bank: BPC." This is the first step of putting in the itsa line:
        Find what trapped charge is trying to get loose.

     The PC is talking up out of the bank.  He has been protesting cut
communication lines, unrealities, and lack of affinity.  Charge has been
ticked and missed, and the PC will go on nattering unless the auditor locates
and indicates the charge.

     What about talking havingness down?  This only occurs when it is entheta
talk.  The whole phenomenon of havingness is raising ARC with the
environment.  If the PC is cutting his ARC with the environment, his
havingness will drop.

     How many ways can you cut an itsa line?  It would be beneficial to an
auditor in training to give you all the ways he can think of it, with an
example of each, and how to prevent or remedy it.  There are three parts to a
successful session:

     1. Get the PC in session, i.e. interested in his own case and talking
        about it.

     2. Keep the itsa line in, so that you get maximal TA action.

     3. Knock out the significances necessary to resolve the case fastest.

The above would define the super-skilled auditor.  You would get lower classes
of auditors as you cut out parts of this, until you end up at the bottom with
a Book Auditor whose skill is just to listen to the PC talk about his case,
with no idea of TA or right significance.

     When training auditors, pound one significance home at a time.  Don't get
complicated, and you will win.  For instance, on a co-audit, just keep the PC
talking about himself.  Don't worry about repeating the command or
acknowledging, etc.  All you want is the PC telling the auditor about his
troubles.  You can see improvements if the PC looks brighter and talks better,
i.e. if he shows increased ARC.

     As you move the auditor's skill up to using a meter, you want to get TA
motion.  Keeping the TA moving is the deepest problem in auditing, at
present.  This can get complex.  The reason a TA stops is time.  The type of
incident that is the most TA-stopping is the GPM, especially after it has been
redated, cross-dated, or grouped in one of the between-lives screens, and
after it has been mislocated.  If there were no GPM, probably nobody could
group a bank.  The GPM gets pinned down in the between-lives screens and TA
stops.  It is a time-stopper because it floats in



                                      467

time and appears instantaneous.  The auditing action that stops TA motion is
wrong date.  It tends to group incidents.  If the incident is 3D visio and
stays in the same place, as you run it, the date is OK.  If a person is
running different incidents at once, he has a wrong date.  If you wrong-date a
GYM, it is grim.  TA stops as if hit by a truck.  It is possible to date a
GPM, but the reads on dates are tiny because it is a GPM, and it is very rough
to date it.  After you have dated a GPM, the date is as valid as you get TA.
If TA packs up, the GPM is very likely to have been misdated.  You could find
that you have to redate a GPM when the PC gets off enough charge to spot that
the first date was a screen date.  Your new date could still be only
temporarily right.  You could go for seven sessions, getting it dated, which
could be very fine if you kept the itsa line in and let the PC help you.

     Most of the track you see is real track, but it is often invalidated.
"False track" is nothing, because there really is no false track.  There are
false pictures, but "false track" is just the dub-in someone has put over his
actual pictures.  If you invalidate someone's track hard enough and hit him
hard enough, he puts dub-in over the top of the picture, which looks like the
original except that it has a little film over it.  As you audit it, the film
comes off and he sees the original picture.  The dub-in is not very different
from his own track, actually.  The unreality the PC gets about the picture is
the force and invalidation that has been laid in.  If you hit someone hard
enough, things get unreal, down to unconsciousness.  Unconsciousness is just a
total unreality.  So there are also ARC break phenomena, which prevent the
meter from reading well.  That is one reason why the meter reads so little on
GPM's.  They are full of ARC brokenness.  But if you just keep trying to date
the GPM and don't cut the itsa line, you will get TA.  Having the itsa line in
and blowing charge will increase the PC's reality on the incident to the point
where the date is more and more real.  Bundles of facsimiles will start to
come apart.  If you just keep chewing at a GPM in this way, chewing at its
date, its pattern, etc., it will suddenly be there so clearly that you will
wonder how you ever missed it.  You are getting enough charge off so that he
can see it.  Keeping the itsa line in while dating is very helpful but hard to
do at times.  Let the PC give you anything he can tell you about the date.
Get all the TA out of it first, and only go to the meter when the PC throws in
the sponge.  Then work it over, and when it is all hopeless with the meter,
talk from the PC takes over.  Keep at it, persevere, and relax.  It might take
up to seven sessions to get the date.  The stable datum is that if you keep
chewing away and trying to find it, suddenly enough charge will disappear so
it all folds up and you get it.  Just keep him talking, and he will come up
with it.  But the more you ask the meter for the data, the less you will win.
You can kill TA by evaluating, because the itsa line is being put in for him.
Don't put in the itsa line for the PC.

     The meter gives you a preview of coming attractions.  A meter reads at a
deeper level of awareness than the PC.  When some charge is blown, the PC will
now see what the meter "saw" awhile earlier.  You say what's-it and the PC
says itsa.  This is auditing.  But if the PC says what's-it and you use the
meter to say itsa, the TA folds up.  This will occur if you create a
meter-dependency.  It is better, if you must tell the PC what the meter says,
to present it as a question.  If you put in the what's-it and get itsa from
the meter, you will get no TA action.  If you have a PC demanding



                                      468

information, you can help him out.  It is more desirable to use the meter than
to have the PC quit.  Sometimes you have to snap in the itsa line.  Try to get
the PC certain before using the meter.  Then you may use the meter, but get
the PC's agreement first, as an itsa, e.g. concerning the date.  You can work
back and forth with the PC and the meter, using the meter to jog the
what's-it, e.g. to get the order of magnitude, then ask the PC if he gets
anything, let him find it.  If he asks, "Does that read?", see if you can get
him to say, "Itsa," e.g. by asking, "Does it seem right to you?" Then, when he
has said, "Itsa," you can confirm it with, "That reads."

     One way to cut an itsa line is by continually asking for more than the PC
can give.  For instance, the PC says proudly, "I've got a picture of some
mountains." The auditor says, "What kind of mountains?  Are there any people?"
Or when the PC says, "I just can't find the date.  I don't have a clue," the
auditor says, "Well?  Come on! What is it?" This stretches an itsa line beyond
its ability to stretch.  The situation is that you have bled off all the
restimulation that was available. So stir up a little more by using the meter
on one step or so of dating.  The PC easily invalidates his own reality and
ability to know a date.  Don't, above all, use the meter to invalidate him.
It is better to leave the charge on something than to ARC break the PC about
it.  If he gives you a date and asks for meter confirmation, and there is no
read, make it as OK as possible.  For instance, you could say, "Well, I didn't
see one there.  It doesn't say anything right now on that," Use your meter to
give him the what's-it line and coax the itsa line.  At last resort, all you
have is your meter, like when there is a howling ARC break and the PC isn't
talking or thinking.  That applies to sessions where the PC is out of comm.
You can cut an itsa line to ribbons with ARC break assessments, as the drop of
a hat.  The value of the assessment is when all else has failed, because the
most operating thing you have around you is the PC.

     The problem of how you discharge a GPM without cutting the itsa line is a
tricky one. What if he is going over one pair of items and the next pair comes
up and he wants to go on?  If you leave bypassed charge on the items you are
doing, he will ARC break.  One solution is to write down the new pair,
acknowledge them, and then clean up the old pair.

     The what's-it line raises TA; the itsa lowers it.  The solution of
mystery is the resolution of the case and the restoration of TA motion.  The
PC is stuck on a what's-it for which he has no itsa, when the TA quits.  The
PC sometimes has his own what's-its.  He forgets the what's-it you gave him
and never gives the itsa, so you get a high TA.  PC's do this all the time,
especially during a break.  Hence you could ask, "Is there anything your
attention is on?" or "Did you speculate about anything during the break?" The
funny thing is that as-ising what's-its doesn't give you auditing.  You can't
as-is what's-its.  You could ask, "Get the idea of questioning things,"
repetitively.  This would give you a high TA.  The bank is composed of a cure
to the problem or puzzle.  The reason that the puzzle is hung up is that there
is something in it that was a cure.  Cures brought about problems.  To as-is
problems, you have to pick up the cure, which is the itsa.  The problem was
the what's-it; the cure is the itsa.  So you announce the confusion, the PC
gives you the stable datum, and you get a restoration of balance.  It blows
off.  Two-way comm blows all the locks off of



                                      469

engrams.  For instance, if the PC says that he has a big PTP, you could ask
when he became aware of it, what solutions he has had for it etc.  So you need
to find the what's-it and the itsa.  A problem is, in microcosm, a GPM.  You
could ask, "What have you been puzzled about?/ What answers might there have
been to it?" Auditing questions must balance between announcing the puzzle and
asking for the cure.

SHSpec-295 The Tone Arm




6308C15 SHSpec-295 The Tone Arm

     A meter that only had a tone arm would be useful to teach auditors to
keep the tone arm moving.  It should have the same numbers.  It should
probably also have a one-handed electrode.  It should be very small and
rugged.  Ideally, it should be able to go "through the bottom" with no stop.
You could hang it on the PC with a belt and keep him on it for CCH's.  It
would show discharge of charge.

     The minimum TA you should get is 0.25 divisions per twenty minutes
(0.75divisions per hour).  A small amount of TA is enough for healing.  A
needle blow-off is enough.  R3T or R2T consist of putting in the itsa line and
dating.  Even 0.1 division per twenty minutes is enough to blow a somatic.
That is enough for healing, but not enough to make the PC feel better as a
result of auditing.  This explains the oddity that dianetics heals chronic
somatics, with the PC not realizing that auditing had done anything.  You
would heal the illness, but the person still doesn't believe in dianetics.
You haven't helped the person.  That was what drove us out of healing, not the
medicos.  Auditors found it frustrating.

     Without understanding the TA, it is doubtful if the auditor will ever be
able to predict his result.  If you know about the TA, you will know that if
the PC got no TA in a session:

     1. He is liable to throw the auditor a curve at the end of the session.

     2. He is liable to have some sort of upset within twenty-four hours.

     3. You have restimulated charge, because all auditing restimulates
        charge.

These phenomena are not inevitable.  The reason 0/W is not being stressed is
that not all auditors seem able to restimulate overts.  They accept critical
thoughts and motivators and miss all the PC's withholds.  Any auditing that
requires extraordinary targeting and restimulation becomes more difficult to
do.  A difficult part of auditing is in selecting the significances of
restimulation which the auditor must engage in with the PC.  The degree of
restimulation restimulated in the significance becomes an even greater level
of skill, e.g. the question of how much GPM you have to restimulate to get the
GPM run.  The skillful auditor restimulates only the number of items he wants
to run.  The less skilled the auditor, the more items and GPM's he
restimulates in order to get one pair to run.  The whatsit line regulates
restimulation.  On the whatsit line you should:

     1. Know what you are going for.

     2. Know what you have to get to.

     3. Have a heart, and don't over-restimulate.

     4. Avoid Q and A.



                                      470

     Auditing works by restimulation and blowing of charge.  You can blow a
charge on an early incident of a chain and have the later charge blow off
without registering on the meter.  That speeds things up.  If you don't put in
the itsa line and let the charge blow off, the PC stacks it up and ARC breaks,
etc., etc.  Not restimulating charge at all or restimulating too little charge
equally result in no-auditing.  This will give an ARC break because the
expectation of auditing not fulfilled will itself bleed charge, which is then
bypassed and will blow up.  Restimulating too little charge or no charge is
worse than restimulating too much charge.  For instance, you will get in bad
trouble if you fail to run the PC through an engram twice because he is in
pain.

     Incidently, a thetan in good shape probably enjoyed pain.  You can pick
this up by asking the PC to "Waste some pain," repetitively.  He will cognite
that he can have it.  Sadism isn't peculiar.  It is a lower harmonic of an
actual fact: any sensation is better than no sensation.  Anything is better
than nothing.  That is different from only being able to enjoy pain.  As a
thetan goes upscale, he can stand more effect.

     Most newspaper reporters are unauditable.  If you try to audit them, all
you get is a lot of missed withholds.  The reporter's attention is all "out
there" He has no attention on his case.  This guy has a lot of ARC breaks.  He
is dramatizing overts.

     Indicating BPC gives the PC control over his charge.

     When you run a circuit with no charge on it, it gets a sponge-like
character.  Then it starts picking up charge, whether you want it to or not,
out of the intention that auditing will occur.  It will still bleed charge out
of the bank, and the PC will still ARC break.

     TA measures the adequacy of restimulation.  It shows that an adequate
amount of charge is being restimulated and that it is adequately dispelled
with the itsa line.  There is really miles of margin for error on either side
of the ideal amount of restimulation, where you will still get TA and case
gain.  You can have the PC swamped and still get TA, or you can be running the
PC pretty shallow and still get TA.  There is a lot of tolerance.  Too much or
too little restimulation, beyond this margin of error, causes cessation of
TA.  The meter doesn't tell you if you are getting too much or too little
restimulation.  Most standard processing is strong enough that you are not
restimulating too little charge.  Auditors therefore don't worry much, as long
as there is some TA motion.  Just doing any auditing at all guarantees some
restimulation.  What you are auditing regulates how much charge you are
restimulating.  Using upper-level processes, you are only going to err by
getting over-restimulation, since Niagaras of charge are available.  If you
are going through GPM's without getting TA, it is not because there is too
little restimulation.  It is over-restimulation.

     If there is too much charge, the PC shuts it down and the TA locks up.
You can say that it is unreal to the PC, but unreality consists of:

     1. Force: uncoordinated, raw force.

     2. Invalidation.

     3. Disagreement (on the thought level).

So to say that something is too unreal to the PC is to say that there is too
much charge on it.  The auditor's problem is delicately to put the whatsit
line in the right place so as to



                                      471

bleed off charge where the PC can confront it.  If the discharge line gets
overloaded, the PC will explode in an ARC break.  The problem of the auditor,
therefore, is not how to restimulate more charge.  It is not the problem of
how to empty the Atlantic ocean but how to bleed a few drops off of it.  The
PC may beg you for a one-shot clear process.  Here you see the working of the
effect scale.  What the PC needs is some small effect, some line to bleed
charge that is small enough not to be dangerous.  He is very careful, because
everything is a live wire.

     If you run any PC at too high a level, it can become too much for his
body, while still being OK for continuing to get TA.  E.g. a person with
cancer is in an almost continuous ARC break.  However, if you go above the
charge tolerance, then that's it for the TA.

     [LRH comments on Wilhelm Reich's character armor.] Wilhelm Reich had an
esoteric form of charge that he called "orgone". This sort of charge was
thought to be involved in the buildup of arthritic deposits.  Charge is also
what caused things to break around Jung, and it is what gives people odd
somatics, acute or chronic.  Acute charge destimulates in three to ten days.
If it keeps on being restimulated, with no opportunity to be destimulated or
bled off, one gets chronic somatics.  Even then it takes periodic
restimulation at the end of each lifetime to keep a thetan as unaware and
charged up as he is.  There is a preparation series of GPM's that have thirty
to forty wrong dates apiece, with a command to return, sandwiched between each
of about eighty GPM's.  The goals make life the opposite terminal.  They are
all derogatory goals, like "to be wrong", or "to get caught".

     Your first indication that the PC is nearing his limit of restimulation
is a lessening of TA action.  By this time, the PC is already past the point
of comfortable charge level.  Audit as delicately as possible at this point.
As you go on, be sure the itsa line is very in, and don't let any more charge
get restimulated until you have cleaned up what you have.  Do not let the PC
dive into earlier track, no matter how eager he may be to do so.  That is how
you get stuck TA's.  Haul out of there!  Start getting thorough.  You can
ordinarily trace back any ceased TA to some action that stirred up more charge
than got handled.  For instance, say we run the center goal out of the Bear
implant.  Then we start running the rest of the goals.  Suddenly, we lose TA
action.  We have just restimulated three or four out of five goals.  I.e. we
have three or four GPM's on restimulation.  That amount of charge stirred up
eliminated TA motion.

     The overcharged case is always the high TA case.  It is the whatsit line
that is responsible for this over-restimulation, with resultant high or low
TA, even if it is life or the PC that put the whatsit line in.  The wrong
thing to do is to get wore whatsit.  "Tell me something you have been worried
about," is therefore not a good process.  It is all whatsits for the PC to
look at.  If you want to cure the overcharged case, you could assess his
problems to a central one and ask, "What solutions have you had for this
problem?" This allows the PC to itsa and thus permits the TA to come down.
The "cures" give you the itsa line.  Get all the whatsits already in
restimulation and get the solutions off.  That will give you itsa, bring the
TA down, and get the TA into action.  When you finish one whatsit with itsas,
find another whatsit that is already there and finish it, etc.  This is
guaranteed to fix the TA.  Find something small enough for the PC to let go
of.

     Knowingness and reality don't increase unless you get charge off the
case, so the case knows that nothing has happened, unless you increase his
knowingness.

SHSpec-296 The Itsa Line




6308C20 SHSpec-296 The Itsa Line

     The itsa line is the PC's comm line to the auditor.  It is not always
pursuant to the auditor's whatsit.  Sometimes it is pursuant to the PC's
whatsit.  The auditing cycle is made up of a concatenation of comm lines.  A
comm line can be very faint, as with the attention line.  There may be lines
preceding the attention line, as the auditor gets the PC to put his attention
on the auditor.

     Having an attention line already extant, you convert it to an itsa line.
There's the situation where the PC's attention line is on something other than
the auditor.  If the auditor is adroit, he can flick it over to where he wants
it.  For instance, the PC says, "I can't stand wild parties ... Blah! Blah!
... " It takes skill to flick the attention over to what you want the PC to
talk about.  This is getting the itsa line in.  A PC will always follow the
least-charged aberrative line with his TA action.  TA exists on the
least-charged aberrative line at any moment.  The mind is so regulated that it
will not release charges that the PC considers too dangerous.  TA action
ceases when you have too much charge.  You could bleed it off, but you have
gotten into too much charge.  And no TA action equals no case advance, even if
you get somatics off.  You can make it even worse.  By running the PC with no
TA action, you can make the needle action cease too.  The longer you run a
case with no TA action, the more the case freezes up and the harder it will be
to produce TA action.

     The most likely way to get TA action on a case is to get in the itsa
line.  Routine-1-C (Routine-1-Comm) is the process that does this.  It is a
"soft touch" way of getting in the itsa line.  This is the workhorse.  It
requires deftness, but it gets in the itsa line on a jammed, overcharged case,
and it will restore TA action.  [Per BTB 4Dec71R I "R1C", R1C consists of:

     1. Finding something that moves the TA.

     2. Running the TA out of that subject, to F/N, cog, VGI's.

The usual method of finding what to run in general R1C is by assessment of
dynamics.  Assessment by dynamics gives a series of questions covering each of
the dynamics.  This is assessed by tone arm, as given in E-meter Drill 23.
Take up the reading question by use of further questions on that same
subject.]

     The best way to restore TA action to a case that has become overcharged
is to cleverly get in and handle the itsa line.  Cleverness is required.  You
could ask the PC who comes into session talking about something else, "Did our
last session have anything to do with this?" This puts his attention back into
session, gently, without putting it on the auditor.  This is preferable to the
psychoanalytic practice of letting the PC run on and on about irrelevancies.
Getting your job done and having your PC like you all the time conflict and
are sometimes diametrically opposed.  The crudest way to get the itsa line in
is, "Tell me about it." This is functional, however.  What you want to do is
to move the itsa line around enough to relieve his problem, to the point where
you can put the attention line on a significance that will give him case
advance.  It is about as skilled as building a watch: very adroit, to the
point of invisibility.  You duplicate what he has been talking about and pull
his itsa line a bit further and put it on something you want it to be on.  You
can even re-use the PC's



                                      473

origination later, when you have run out of TA or itsa.  For instance, the PC
complains of headaches.  You get him to examine how they are affected by what
you are auditing.  Then, several sessions later, you can bring the headaches
up again as needed.

     Unless you can handle the attention line smoothly, you can't get the itsa
line established.  You are split between wanting the PC to think well of you
and getting your job done.  In the end, they come to the same thing, but for
the moment, it is a matter of making forward progress despite unavoidable, or
avoidable, upsets.  Be as clever and as adroit as you can, plus a little.

     There are thousands of ways to shift the PC's attention.  Say his
attention is on something.  You ask, "What have you learned about _______ ?"
You get TA.  Parallel what the mind is doing, and you can control it.  Find
what the PC's attention is on, and if you can get TA motion by having the PC
locate things about what his attention is on, he will recover from any
obsessive or compulsive tendencies about it or toward it.  It is the TA motion
that takes off the compulsion, not the significance of what he digs up.  The
PC way be talking about his grandma's jam-making, but if he is getting TA
motion, he is getting gains.  The fastest recovery comes with a combination of
significance and TA motion.

     The least charged aberrated area of the case is where you will get TA
motion.  Sometimes a direct approach to a highly-charged area may fail, until
it is unburdened by getting TA off some other area first.  When you work with
that area [the latter area], the PC will know that processing works for him.
PC's always make gains if they are getting TA motion.

     TA motion only occurs when the itsa line is in.  Why do we call it the
"itsa line"?  The itsa line is more than just a comm line.  It is seeing
something to describe and describing it.  A person in jail can't go to
anywhere to see if itsa.  He can't say, "Itsa beach," or "Itsa Brighton,"
etc.  A nightmare is the inability to itsa, followed by mocking up something
that can be itsa'ed that is wrong.  Itsa is the way the thetan orients
himself:  itsa ceiling, itsa floor, itsa wall, etc.  Itsa.  Therefore I'ma.
[Cf.  Descartes with, "I think. Therefore I am."] Hide somebody, and the itsa
line is cut on himself.  No one else can say, "Itsa." Disassociate somebody
from his identity and he won't be able to itsa himself.  he won't be able to
say, "Itsa me: Joe Jones." This is the basic aberration: inability to orient,
identify, declare, or recognize.  It is not just the inability to solve.  If
itsa is so important to ability, memory, identity, and power, then we would
expect the major trick on the track to be that of cutting the itsa line, one
way or the other.  And so it is.  Implanters give you all sorts of false
data.  You get killed one way, and they convince you that you died another
way, or that you didn't die at all.  They disrupt your itsa line.  This can go
on to the point where people believe that they live only once.  The
report-back mechanism is even used by doctors, when they have insane people
report back for shocks, etc.

     People think that what we are doing is unreal, but we know the substance
of their unreality.  We know where their itsa line is out.  The notion, "Man
is an animal.  At death there is a cessation of cellular commotion," makes
nothing of everyone.

     The itsa line can be out of ARC and on KUCDEIOF, the whole scale for
R2H.  Tell someone that something that is, isn't, and his itsa line will go
out.  Give someone chalk for candy; he bites into it.  His itsa line is out.
This is the "false" level.  Nothing:  Say that nothing haunts this planet;
it's all natural, and anyone who



                                      474

thinks otherwise must be paranoid.  Say something isn't that is, or that
something is that isn't, like the Darwinian theory.  Inhibited: Tell someone
not to examine something because it is dangerous.  Enforced: Know this or be
shot!  Desired: A want-to-know itsa.  Curious: a curiosity itsa.  Not just
curious about.  Then there's unknown itsa: You have reality on the unreality
of people on this planet.  The itsa is their unknowingness.  A thetan's
tolerance rises to where he can confront an unknown comfortably, without doing
anything about it.  X, in algebra, would be an example of this.  A
mathematician has gone overboard on the subject of unknownnesses and having to
solve it all.  Some auditors, likewise can't stand the PC's being in an
unknown as he is working on an itsa and have to leap in and get the itsa line
in themselves with the meter.  Known:  An itsa line can be too known.  For
instance, some crimes are unsolvable because they are committed in too known a
fashion.  The obviousness of the postman makes him the ideal murderer in a
mystery.  He is too known.  Sometimes things are too obvious.  That also
includes the "Everyone knows," that never gets examined.

     Itsa identifies, either individually or, if that is not possible, by
classification, by type.  You get a comfortable feeling from this which every
now and then gets betrayed, e.g. when you find out that you are in a stage
set, not a room.  This gives you an ARC break from the false itsa.  GPM's are
full of such false itsas.  The subject of itsa has to do with straightening
out one's ARC with the universe.  It is an interesting question why there
should be this passion for itsa.

     Getting the itsa line in has nothing to do with getting the PC to auditor
comm line in.  The latter is more likely to be related to the PC's attention
line to the auditor.  Getting the itsa line in is getting the PC to identify,
inspect, decide about, and differentiate things in his bank or in the physical
universe, e.g., in objective processing, the room.  You could probably get TA
by running "What's that?" and pointing at things.  This is not always
workable.  Itsa is familiarization, e.g. with a car or a typewriter.  That is
why familiarization processes like, "Touch that _______ ," work.

     A person who is really itsa-ing is blowing off encysted charge caused by
former confusion about an area.  That is the mass aspect, the force aspect of
it.  When you have itsa'd on a area, the area never comes up again.  Until
then, the area keeps coming up -- in the future, ten years in the past, two
trillion years in the past, as this, as that, etc.  While the PC is looking
for the itsa, what drives some auditors nuts is the extra itsas he puts in and
takes out.  "This ... No, that...." A lot of apparent itsas come off before
you get the final itsa.  But you could almost say that all the running of a
case, on through to the final cognition, the final itsa, consists of
conditional itsas.  An auditor should never expect only permanent itsas.

     It is adroit of the auditor to use the PC's attention line to get the
itsa line in by steering it to areas that can be itsa'd.  Put the PC's
attention on things he can identify.  Letting the itsa line exist is the
lowest level of auditing.  Putting the itsa line in is more active.  The
universe is full of whatsit lines, so concentrate on the itsa line.  The itsa
line will suffer from being too known, as in "Everyone knows." The itsa line
is the PC's line to the auditor.

SHSpec-297 The Itsa Line (Continued)




6308C21 SHSpec-297 The Itsa Line (Continued)

     Things look more complex than they actually are.  Sitting somewhere in
back of every thetan's bank is a tremendous insecurity, in which the thetan
believes implicitly that the universe is dangerous, or that he is in danger,
or that he cannot live or survive as a powerful being.  The itsa line could
look to you like a simple communication line on which, if you let anyone talk
enough, he will get better.  This is not so.  If you understand the itsa line,
you will see the PC go through a cycle of fishing for an itsa.  If the auditor
tells the PC what is there by putting in the itsa with the meter, it leaves
the PC in a zone or area of insecurity, as will any interruption of the PC's
itsa.  The PC has to be responsible for putting in the itsa line.  If the
auditor does it too much, e.g. saying, "The meter reads that it is before
1850," etc., you have created a psychiatric, potentially hypnotic, evaluative
set-up.  It is OK to give a little help, but not to put in the whole itsa line
for the PC.  When you tell a person that there is hope for his case, you are
putting in an itsa line, the "Hope Factor".

     But what about the line plot, for instance?  This puts in an itsa line
for the PC, to some degree.  The line plot for the GPM is the lesser of two
evils.  It allows the PC to identify it to his own reality, and it is less
undesirable than letting the PC wrap himself around a telephone pole.  It was
an other-determined thing in the first place, and the most important thing is
to get the charge off of it.  Similarly, if the PC is trying to date something
and bogs utterly, you should help him with the meter, enough to increase his
ability to see what he is after by narrowing his search.  Even if you get down
to the hour and minute and the PC never spotted it, at least you've got it
dated.  But it is still a bit of a lose.  The only time you totally lose is
when you have to put the whole itsa line in.

     Aberration is a means of perverting the itsa line.  Pure evil is denial
of the itsa line and aberration of it.  Perversion of the itsa line has to be
very direct in order to be very aberrative.  Given the slightest chance, the
PC will put in his itsa line.  But the question is: will he put it in on
anything aberrative?  He won't, unless directed to it.  Psychoanalysis directs
the itsa line to something non-aberrative, lets him itsa, and then evaluates,
putting the itsa line in totally, analyzing it for him.

     Putting in a hope factor by saying that something can be done to change
conditions puts in the itsa line, to a small degree.  Even, "Start of session"
puts in an itsa line, with the intent of putting the PC in a position to
itsa.  The intention makes the difference, where one puts in the itsa line for
another.  An evil intention, [in this respect] is one that is devoted to
decreasing the person's ability to itsa.  That is the way to make slaves.  A
good intention is an intention to improve someone's itsa.  Get the person to
identify, spot, and point out, and he will be in better shape than he is.

     This corner of the universe is suffering from a surplus of lousy
civilization.  It was recently conquered, but it was set up to be conquered by
the use of degrading mental technology.  The civilization in this area
implanted their own soldiers "to be loyal" "to be brave", etc.  Such a
civilization has no power, because for an implant to stick, it has to have two
items: one positive and one



                                      476

negative, e.g. "to be a loyal soldier" and "to be a disloyal soldier".  So
fifty percent of the implant is in the negative.  Also, the fact that the
implant was done at all destroys loyalty.  The Galactic Confederacy, with no
implanting, lasted eighty trillion years.  The Espinol Confederacy, with
implants, lasted a few hundred thousand years.  Rome died at the hands of her
slaves, not at those of barbarians.  Being a free man didn't pay, so who
wanted to fight for Rome?  Slavery produced a civil war.  The first families
of Boston made their money from slaves [and so we got a civil war, too.] It is
not just a matter of sentiment.  Statistically, slavery never pays off.  It is
dangerous.  Russia is having trouble because of the slave economy, which is a
hang-over from pre-revolutionary Russia.  Probably the white Russian nobility
came back from the between-lives area as communists.

     Slavery always produces a backlash because a thetan never really gives
up.  He can hold the postulate that he was right all the way down to the
bottom of unconsciousness.  The effort to dominate and to deny power of choice
to others is the road that this universe walked towards the Hell it became.
Fear stands ahead of that.  The nonsense behind it is that a thetan can't do
anything but survive, so for him to fear non-survival is foolish.  How to kill
a thetan is the biggest problem in this universe.

     How can a being who cannot cease to survive get into a state of mind
where he is afraid that he won't?  It takes a lot of trickery.  Usually it is
on an extension of self into a possession, like making a minion: mocking up a
mock-up, endowing it with life, and protecting it when someone attacks it.  It
can be a body, a state, etc.  The thetan must have confused himself with it to
the point where he thinks his survival can be affected.  That is the first
step into aberration.

     The next step is elementary.  One is worried about survival, so one
solves the problem of survival by domination.  This solution is not successful
in the long run.  That which is not admired tends to persist.  That is one
reason why domination stays around:  domination is not admired.  Thetan A, to
protect something, dominates thetan B.  In so doing, he sets himself up to be
dominated in turn.  Having set up a cause-effect line, the line can reverse.
It is a comm line, with duplication, which makes it easy to reverse.  Any
custom on this planet has this reverse duplication element.  You can count on
its having been the reverse at some time.  The duplication factor easily makes
cause look like effect on this comm line, and it leads to the overt-motivator
sequence.  One commits overts.  Then, one day, one slips into effect and gets
what one caused.  Running O/W frees up a vicious comm line and cures some
mis-identifications, thus undoing aberration.  For instance, waiters wear
black tuxedos.  Any custom was a reverse custom at an earlier date.

     If communication is so dangerous, why does a thetan communicate at all?
It is because he wants to be oriented.  Once oriented, a thetan uses his best
tool: communication, to dominate, to do people in and to mess up things that
he tries to identify with.  He mis-uses his comm line.  It is there because he
is lost and feels the need of orientation, hence his desire for
communication.  There is insecurity behind this desire, the reason for which
we don't know yet.  In using the itsa line, "we're using the obsession to
identify, which lies back of the communication line.  We are using a principle
higher than communication, coupled with communication, in order to orient and
rehabilitate the thetan."



                                      476a

     All we are missing is what lies behind the insecurity that caused him to
start the whole cycle.  Originally, the thetan was not insecure, was not
reaching, not protecting anything, and he was not communicating!  How and why
did anyone get to him, originally, to the point where he felt that he needed
to be oriented to be comfortable?  It is hard to figure this out because there
was no communication at the time.  But "you show me the problem, and very
shortly later, I'll show you the answer."

     Just as it took only one step to start down that road, so it takes only a
step at the other end to go back up.  The PC gradiently comes up to OT, then
breaks through with a shock that may scare him.  Processing is the cure for
having to be familiarized with things to itsa.  We are undoing the tendency to
itsa by using it.  Once a thetan is free of those things, he will snap back to
his original lost power, at least until he rights some wrongs and slips,
briefly.

     Self-determinism, pan-determinism, and personal power is restored to the
individual along the line of minimal help and maximal recovery of
self-determinism, of self-ability to itsa, on the part of the PC.  As the case
goes along, its progress is measured directly by the degree to which
self-determinism is returned into the PC's hands.  Thus you could get a
fantastic number of engrams and GPM's run and have a foggy PC, by dating
everything in the bank for him or by invalidating some datum of the PC's, no
matter how slightly.

     An auditor has the same problem a mother has:  to give enough help, but
not too much.  The amount of help required is not constant from one PC to the
next, because PCs are at such different levels of independence and
aberration.  Both could be high!  The problem is to determine how much help
the PC needs in order to know.  What you want to do is to take whatever
ability you find and reduce any dependency you find.  Give the PC all the help
he needs to get along, and then reduce it.

     Added into all this is your flubs.  You will never reduce them to zero,
so don't try.  You will get caught in cross-currents of communication and
purposes.  Since the PC's comm line is so often fogged up in session, the
auditor's ability to handle it perfectly is nil.  So the auditor shouldn't be
afraid of mishandling the PC, because an occasional mishandling is
inevitable.  So, when this happens, you have to get slippy and handle the
intention line, if possible.

     Don't put the PC's attention on the auditor.  This can happen by mistake,
but watch out!  E.g., don't say, "Do you want to tell me about it?"  This
inadvertently diverts attention to the auditor.

     The PC's itsa line will get better to the degree that it is permitted to
exist.  Don't just let the PC talk, but direct his attention to things in the
bank that he can identify.  Don't tell him what he is looking at, if you can
avoid it, but if you do have to tell him, let him itsa it.  If you don't, his
ability to identify will deteriorate, and his ability to know whether he is
right will decrease.  That is the effect of confirming his itsa line with the
meter.  If you look on what you are doing as improving the PC's ability to
know that he is right, to be positive, you will make minimal mistakes.  That
is the chief ability that is there to be improved on a case.  If you look on a
case as something from which significances have to be removed, regardless of
the PC's ability to be certain, the PC will still make it, but it will take
much longer.  The PC's case improves by removal of charge but is impeded by
the auditor cutting back his ability to itsa.



                                      477

     An "ARC breaky PC" is probably one with a high degree of independence,
perhaps swamped by charge.  You can create dependency by telling him
everything.  There is also the point to be considered, that if you don't tell
the PC when an item is finally discharged, early in running GPM's, the PC will
leave items charged, and the mechanism of the bank will cause him to bounce
and ARC break.  So you put in the itsa line: itsa discharged.  Sooner or
later, the PC will start to tell you that it is.  At that point, stop telling
him that it is clean.  Don't stop if he still can't tell.  To do so would
leave him with live RI's and postulates.  Wean him off from the meter slowly,
validating his knowingness as it develops.  Give the PC all the help he
needs.  If a PC can't tell what is in his bank, he can't live with it.  There
is a certain minimal help that a PC needs to get started.  He can't do it all
on his own.

     On the other hand, you could get a PC who hasn't been here long, who
cognites on the Axioms, knocks out the bank, does change of space processing
between the auditing room and the next building [See The Creation of Human
Ability, pp. 37-39; 171-173.  This is the "Grand Tour" process, the object of
which is to get all areas into present time by directing the PC to be in a
variety of places.], and says goodby and thank you.  Fine.  You audited him.

     ARC breaky PCs sometimes get into the situation of having their concept
of their own independence cut up by people putting in itsa lines for them.
They dramatize.  A PC who is routinely ARC breaky undoubtedly has something
wrong with the itsa line, and not from auditing.  He could benefit from an
18-button prepcheck on the itsa line.  Those eighteen buttons are the most
powerful itsas there are or ever have been in the universe.  Another approach
would be to handle the fact that the PC is using the ARC break to solve a
problem.  But the prepcheck normally gets it cleaned up.

     A cut itsa line is the most colossal PTP there is.  A person's itsa line
to the rest of the universe is cut just by the fact of his being on earth.  If
he tries to leave earth, he goes to the between-lives area.

     The only missing piece is: why does a thetan have a compulsion to itsa?

SHSpec-298 Project 80




6308C22 SHSpec-298 Project 80

     "80" is a mathematical trick to say "oo and 0".  It embraces "all".
Project 80 has to do with organizational targets, dissemination, and technical
planning.  1964 will be the Year of Scientology for Everyone.  Organizations
suffer from loss of personnel.  One would be rich if one just lived and
persisted long enough.  If you are persistent, you yourself become a sort of
institution.  To "solve" a problem is a MEST universe way of looking at
things.  The right way is to find out, "How did it become a problem?"  LRH
operates on the basis that if he conceives of a problem, he is about
forty-eight hours away from seeing what made it a problem.  An organization's
problem of losing all its people is one that we have licked.  With all the
shifts and changes, we, the people, are the stability in the development of
the tech.  We have the material for Scientology 4 [Research towards OT.  See
p. 462, above.], making OT's, wrapped up, as far as research is concerned.  In
view is a wrapping up of the between-lives area, so as to strip out the
report-back mechanism.  It is a bit tougher than LRH thought it would be.
There are, in addition to GPM's, screen-type incidents and postulation-type
incidents.  The GPM's are all negative on the beginning



                                      478

end of the screen and positive on the leaving end, so the dichotomy makes them
tend to collapse.  Some rules for cleaning up charge faster have developed,
but it is all just auditing -- keeping the PC's attention directed to those
areas of the track where he gets TA action.  That is the highest level of
professional skill.  Drills for a thetan exterior is all wrapped up.

     Not everyone will reach the technical level of those who are at St. Hill,
who have been through all the developments and changes.  That is too much to
expect.  Auditors elsewhere are operating at different levels of reality,
which establish different levels of ARC for them.  The gap between our R and
theirs has been getting wider and wider.  So we are in an informed ivory
tower, with no bridge behind us.  That is rather important.  This planet is in
slightly different circumstances then others.  It has a chance not to get
tilted.  Things put here tend to stay.  Other nearby planets are more tightly
governed and are harder to enter, to salvage them.  They are invasionary
planets.  This area used to be controlled by the Espinol Confederacy, but
their return platforms are closed off.  That spells defeat [for them].  Is
there some other implantive system that is deeper into the heart of this
galaxy -- a system that is going to backfire against this one?  Probably so.
It is probably coming up soon.  But conquerers almost always spare the jails.
We can't bet on the preservation of earth, but we can bet on this planet
having a better chance of becoming a rehabilitation center than other
planets.  But what if we have left no bridge in the rehabilitation center, so
that everybody flounders around with no way to improve?  If you don't leave a
bridge, you will wind up with a group of people who are very angry at those
who might assist them.  That would be very undesirable.  We've got to leave a
bridge.  However, at present, our feeder lines into the public are weak, not
organizationally, but technically.

     Project 80 is the bridge.  It requires that we find what the public
agrees with and use that to improve their ARC up to another level, and that we
keep doing that, in order to bring them up gradiently.  We are not necessarily
improving their ARC with us.  We are just improving their ARC to a point where
we can hit another level of agreement.  The dynamics, various scales, the ARC
triangle, and the dynamic principle of existence -- all of these are too
high-toned for Scientology 1.  So they comprise Scientology 2.  [See p. 462,
above for a description of the Scientology Levels.] So we are back to 30-60
day HCA/HPA training.  This is only possible because of the discovery of the
itsa line.

     Some of you, as auditors, overlook what is a win for a PC.  Knowing that
your goal is to run out GPM's, etc., you miss the fact that the PC has had a
win in being able to talk to an auditor, when he couldn't talk to anyone
before.  The feeling that one is getting case advance, and real case advance,
lies in the fact that the itsa line is in and the TA is moving.  Get the itsa
line in and the TA moving, and you will get a level of improvement and result
never before achieved.  This has nothing to do with significances.  If you get
somebody talking about his health or his lumbosis, you find out that the
cures, solutions, decisions, discoveries, cognitions, comments, reiterations,
and hopes about that lumbosis, in their aggregate, caused the individual to
have lumbosis.  If you get them off with TA action, you get a recovered
lumbosis.  The condition could well vanish just from getting the PC to itsa
about these cures, etc.  This does not apply to broken legs -- yet.  Someone
who has been trained in getting an itsa line in and not cutting it, given also
some basic training in the Auditor's Code,



                                      479

the Axioms, the ARC triangle, the CDEI scale, etc., would have good results and
wins.

     Scientology 1 operates at the level of: "It is possible to have a happy
marriage," or "If you want to get along with children better, listen to what
they say and let them know you heard it.  Don't just ignore them," or
"Employee-boss relations are mainly problems of communication."  In fact, you
should make communication the stable datum.  How you design this line is all
regulated by what people can go into ARC with.  You have to talk to people at
a level where they can have ARC.  R1C is a list of questions that you can use
to get in an itsa line.  Specific questions from this list could be used by a
Book Auditor to run on someone's lumbosis.  This could be done on a co-audit
basis and would get fine results.  That is the auditing level of Scientology
1.

     Lower grade Scientology 2 (HPA/HCA) can get fabulous results with R2C.
R2C is R1C, preceded by an assessment on the expanded CDEI scale, plus the
eight dynamics.  [See HCOT/F 17Oct63 "R2C: Slow Assessment by Dynamics", as
well as HCOB 17Oct63 "R2C:  Slow Assessment by Dynamics -- Directions for Use
of HCO Technical Form 17Oct63" and HCOB 31Oct63 "R2C: Slow Assessment by
Dynamics (Continued)".] The tone arm is used.  The PC first looks over the
CDEI scale to see which level best characterizes his life.  It might take ten
minutes and it might take fifty hours.  The PC has to see which levels
applied, at which times in his life, and where and how and which they are, and
how they relate, etc.  You can get a lot of TA on examining the scale.
Eventually, the PC comes out with a level, X.  Now give him the eight
dynamics, expanded, i.e. broken down into sub-parts.  He has to find out which
ones he has been most concerned about this lifetime.  This could also take ten
minutes or fifty hours.  Eventually, the PC comes out with a dynamic, Y.
Therefore, the question becomes X, Y.  The PC gets asked about the combined
assessments, e.g. curious about children.  The question could have a third
component:

     Considerations

     Solutions

     Decisions about

     Concern for.

So you have matched up the ARC triangle with MEST, form, and location.  The PC
will start off with ARC vs. ARC.  Then, when he can confront MEST, he will get
into the sixth and seventh dynamics.  So, as you repeat this operation, the PC
will go up the dynamics to the sixth and seventh.  This would be a way of
clearing this lifetime.

     Upper-grade Scientology 2 would use R2H, ARC break dating, and any other
process, like prepchecking, that uses needle action as well as TA.  It is a
retread level for HPA/HCA's.  So the line-up for Scientology 1 and 2 is:

     Scn 1:

        a)  Non-auditing: P.E.-level scientology.

        b) Auditing: Book Auditing, on a co-audit basis.

     Scn 2:

        a)  Lower level: HPA/HCA level.  Uses R2C.  Tone arm used only, not
            needle action.

        b)  Upper level: HPA/HCA retread level.  Processes using needle action
            and TA.

     Another element enters the scene: the ARC break assessment.  This would
be a specialized activity.  It can be done by central orgs or auditors in
private practice, to patch up field auditors' PCs, and, at the same time, the
field auditor whose PC needs this action can be nudged about following the
Auditor's Code, e.g.  about keeping his mouth shut.  Try to bring it home that
ARC break



                                      480

assessments need to be done.  We can use them, both on PCs and on auditors.
You can keep a lot of co-auditors straightened out by having someone around to
do ARC break assessments.

     You could have a course in which you can give a classification of HBA
(Hubbard Book Auditor).  The student gets a gen on:

     1. The itsa line.

     2. The Auditor's Code.

This course would also include testing and co-audits.

     The whole secret of our communication is that it is up to us to establish
the level of the communication that we engage in.  We have considered it
somewhat dishonest to put our communication at a level of anything less than
everything we know.  But it isn't really dishonest to say less then we know.
There is no reason to overwhelm people with all the data.  It would just be
out-reality.

     There will be snags in the program.  There will always be people who are
uncomfortable with motion and change.  These people will try, overtly or
covertly, to stop it all.  They will be the people who despair of getting a
result by doing the usual, because they won't do it.  They will be the ones
who keep applying unusual solutions.  Don't get your attention pinned on one
bad apple and forget that everywhere else it is going fine.  To do this would
be to embark on a crusade in an ill-advised direction.  Probably all evil
generates from too great a concentration on evil.  If you concentrate on how
the show isn't getting on the road, when it is in fact on the road, you will
contribute to keeping it from being on the road.  You should take care of such
matters on a routine, rather than an emergency basis.

     When we have auditing at lower levels totally shaped around the
definition of an auditor as a listener, we will have no trouble getting the
whole project well done.

SHSpec-299 Rightness and Wrongness




6308C27 SHSpec-299 Rightness and Wrongness

     People use mental technology the way they do, in this universe, because
they don't know what they are doing.  The purpose of mental technology must be
one of survival, with a consequent necessity to dominate, so it must consist
of being right and [making others] wrong.  Survival, rightness and wrongness,
and domination fit together.  Apparent contra-survival actions are the
thetan's effort to be right.  This is the lowest ebb of aberration, because
the thetan can't do anything else but survive.  In order to survive, you have
to be more right than wrong, so you get obsessed with being right.  The
beginning of succumb is the recognition that you are wrong.  This is not
sensible, but it is the way a thetan behaves.  Therefore, if an individual is
surviving at all, he must be right, even if it is only an insistence on being
right.  A = A = A.  If an individual is undertaking an action and is
surviving, then it must be a right action.  A thetan has to enter a basic lie
on the scene to worry about his survival.  This is idiocy, because there is no
reason for a thetan to worry about survival.  A thetan first worries about the
survival of something else -- something that can be threatened with
non-survival.  Then the thetan identifies himself with that thing.  This is
the first lie.  When he starts worrying about his own survival, because he has
taken the idiotic step of identifying himself with his creations, he enters
into the necessity to dominate to ensure his own survival.  There is no reason
why, if you are protecting sand castles, you have to take the idiot step of
becoming a sand castle, and you can go on



                                      481

protecting them indefinitely without doing this.  But once you have identified
yourself with a sand-castle and are worried about your own survival, you enter
into the necessity to dominate to continue your own survival, to be tougher
than the other tough boys on the beach.

     You don't even have to become a sand-castle to start the game of
domination, if that is what you want to do.  The game of domination consists
of being right and making the other fellow wrong.  That is all there is to
it.  It's a silly game, really.  For instance, Russia and the U.S. are each
devoting so much of their production capacity to defend themselves from each
other that they are failing, economically.  People justify all sorts of
insanity on the basis of rightness and wrongness.  Even a skid-row bum is
being a bum in order to be right.  Everyone has tried to make him wrong for
what he does, so he has to continue to be right.  If he admits he is wrong,
[he feels] he will die.  You may be confused, just watching what is being
done, because some of it could have good results, but the basis can still be a
nutty rightness.  People assert nutty rightness, because everyone is always
making then wrong for the nuttiness.  If someone agrees that he has been doing
something wrong, he is liable to collapse, since he has identified wrongness
with succumbing.

     Behavior doesn't necessarily have everything to do with the whole track.
Behavior is behavior.  People have tried to aberrate it one way or another.
They have tried to make people behave some other way, but the science of life
still remains the science of life.  The factors of life still remain the
factors of life, and if you were to delete all the GPM's and incidents and
everything else, you would not have removed the basic laws on which
scientology is built.  GPM's, etc., merely use the existing laws of life to
enslave people.  They simply enforce, exaggerate, and destroy freedom of
choice over the exercise of the ability to be happy, powerful, etc.  They
destroy the ability to be self- or pan-determined.  They make people one-sided
about everything.  They use basic laws, unwittingly, to exaggerate certain
things, which then lead a person to enslave himself.  The basic mechanism of
enslavement is:

     1. Insistence upon surviving, followed by

     2. The necessity to dominate, followed by

     3. The necessity to be right or wrong,

     4. Which then becomes as irrational as the original postulate to survive,
        and then

     5. The person becomes more and more degraded.

The postulates made by the individual go downhill to the point where you would
be amazed at what the individual is doing to be right.

     When you get down to very aberrated rightness, you are dealing with
death, because at that level, cessation of survival is so imminent that it
gets dramatized before it happens.  In that way, the individual is still right
by succumbing.  Currently, there are three organizations under attack:

     1. Scientology.

     2. Buddhism.

     3. Theosophy.

The U.S. government is supporting the Vietnamese government in its attacks on
Buddhists; it has attacked the Theosophists recently, and it launched a raid,
via the FDA, on the FCDC, in Washington.  But these are the only three groups
that believe in reincarnation, i.e. they are the only groups that don't
believe in death forever.  In attacking them, the U.S. government is asserting
a rightness about death.



                                      482

     To get some sort of aberrated behavior of this kind straightened out with
someone, you would have to get him to tell you how the behavior makes him
right.  You would get an automaticity for starters, which would finally run
out.  Then you could see how it makes someone else wrong.  When that is all
run out, the individual will have far less inclination to do the behavior that
he previously had to do to be right.  The strongest intention in the universe
is the intention to be right.  The diagnosis of how you could make a person
wrong depends on what that person most insists upon.  That is what you can
make him wrong on.  [This would be getting a person's goat.] Behavior doesn't
consist of an aberration that someone is dramatizing.  It consists of an
aberration that a person dredges up in order to make someone else wrong.
That's behavior:  It works, too.  Making someone wrong all the time does worry
him.  Furthermore, one can be made wrong to the point where one inverts, goes
into agreement with what is being said by the person who is making him wrong,
and now makes the former wrongness an obsessive rightness.  The "right" label
gets identified with the wrong action.  A government may be made wrong about
bringing in law and order, to the point where it now exercises criminality,
using the label of law and order.

     The issue of rightness and wrongness has been further booby-trapped by
guys on the whole track who implanted people with GPM's that contain the
words, "right" and "wrong".  However, when making himself right and others
wrong, an individual is not acting because of the GPM.  That just intensifies
the action.  If you try just simply to run someone on right and wrong for very
long, you run into the GPM and can't keep on in that line, ordinarily.
Getting in an itsa line on the aberration will de-intensify its power,
however.

     If a guy has accidents frequently:

     1. Find out what he is having (wrecks, accidents, injuries, etc.).  This
        doesn't take very long.  You have to isolate what it is that the guy
        is doing.  The obvious action may not be his intention.  Maybe it is
        not his automobile accidents that are making him right.  Maybe it is
        getting injured.  When you have the right thing, he will run easily.

     2. Ask the PC how (an auto accident) makes him right.  You will get an
        easy itsa line.

     3. Ask him how (an auto accident) would make them (or another) wrong.
        You will get another avalanche.

     4. Ask (2) again, then (3), etc.  Keep it balanced, and you will avoid
        bumping the GPM as hard.

     This process is below the level of recognition or cognition.  It
undermines neurosis.  Neurosis is defined as an anti-survival action that is
compulsively undertaken by the individual.  The only qualification to this
process is that we have to be capable of communicating with the person and
listening to him. And we have to get our hands on him first.  But on a
cold-bloodedly practical basis, service fac processes are a more practical
mental technology than the alternatives: implants, drugs, electric shock
treatments, etc., just because of the backlash from angry thetans who want
revenge on implanters.  The hole in implanter tech is that the survival of the
implanter can, in the future, be threatened.  Implants can be undone.  Many
implant set-ups have been destroyed.  Implanters do implanting because they
are trying to be right and to make others wrong.  That's all.  It is a mere
dramatization.  When



                                      483

you see someone acting simply to be right and to make others wrong, you will
see a worsening condition.  You are looking at the last dregs of domination.
The person who is being "right" is, in fact, getting worse, as are the people
in his vicinity.  Implanting works only over a short-term period, e.g. 100,000
years, which is short-term, on a galactic scale.  Implanting worsens not only
the people implanted, but also the implanter and everyone in the vicinity of
these people.

     What is true of neurosis is also true of psychosis.  Psychosis has the
same mechanism at a lower level, and it gets treatment from psychiatrists at
the same low level of make-wrong and Q and A.

     The overt-motivator sequence also fits into this effort to dominate and
be right.  When you get two people, each insisting on his own rightness, their
ideas eventually commingle, and they can't tell who is doing what.  This is
because both are saying, "I'm right and you're wrong."

     If a "science" is dramatizing an unknown one of its parts, it is not a
complete technology.  It is impossible to have a science of life under these
circumstances because you can't fully understand something that you are
dramatizing a part of.  A science of life should be a complete understanding,
and since one is dramatizing at least a part of living, one can't have a total
understanding of it.  [In other words, "being right" should be one of the
parts of a mental technology.  However, if "being right" is being dramatized
by the practitioners of a mental technology, then clearly they don't have full
understanding of the mind.] This is a particular problem with the science of
life.  Hence there is a tendency to withdraw from life.  A total cessation of
the dramatization of the game called "life" would put one in a confused state
of thinking that the way to do it is to separate oneself from life by going
off to a cave and meditating.

     But a person that can't experience easily has to experience,
compulsively.  The final challenge of a science of life is, "Does it produce
life?", not "Does it produce death?"  If you know all the answers, you can
live.  It is remarkable to be in a situation where this can be sorted out.  As
one goes along, getting more understanding, one doesn't have to work so hard
to experience existence; one doesn't have to be convinced that one is
surviving, being right, dominating, etc.  When a person is no longer able to
select his own behavior, he must obsessively be right by doing something
wrong.  It is OK to be right, if you are being analytical.

     However, there is a level at which rightness and wrongness cease to be
analytical and become obsessive.  It is below that level that we speak of
aberration.  You can find what the person is doing that he doesn't like to do,
then ask the person how that makes him right.  Everyone has a few of these
actions.  They generally arise from some overwhelm of the person's
self-determinism, where he has accepted another's rightness.  The person is
out of valence and dramatizing someone else's aberrations.  [You could perhaps
pick this up on Flow One of Level 4 triples.] But we aren't interested in
other people's aberrations.  The dwindling spiral is really entered where the
person accepts inability, weakness, stupidity, etc., as a way to be right.
Any dramatization of mental science that brings about further disability is
wrong for the civilization that uses it.  Anything that brings about more
life, livingness, and beingness is right for that person or society.



                                      484

     Anything that is crazy in a person was OK at some higher level.  All
madness is an exaggeration of some ability or capability.  For instance sexual
misbehavior is a lower-scale dramatization of the ability to create.  It
becomes aberrated in the following way:

     1. It was really right.

     2. It was a method of survival.

     3. It was a method of domination.

     4. It was a method of being right in order to make others wrong.

     5. Then one got enough overts such that the communication line switched
        around.  What was right about it is now wrong about it, and vice
        versa.

The sexual misbehavior or other aberrated behavior is practically
unrecognizable from its [original] state, as far as the person's behavior is
concerned.  When you understand this, you understand much of the nonsense that
you previously only protested against.  The explanation for the behavior that
is offered by the individual so obscures what he is really doing that it gets
confusing.  The main line of human behavior is along the lines of:

     1. Survival.

     2. Domination

     3. Rightness and wrongness.

However, when an auditor invalidates another's assertion of rightness, it only
drives the PC downscale and cuts the only communication line that can help the
PC.  "A dramatization of rightness and wrongness is not the answer to a
dramatization of rightness and wrongness."

SHSpec-300 The TA and the Service Facsimile




6308C29 SHSpec-300 The TA and the Service Facsimile

     If you cannot make a keyed-out clear with a prepcheck in 25 hours or
less, the PC is operating on a service facsimile.  This is startling but
elementary.  A prepcheck fits in with the itsa line very closely.  The 18
buttons are hot.  They give the key itsas of the case.  If they are not
working, you have a service facsimile on your hands.  In doing a prepcheck, it
is assumed that you are using a time-limiter in order to keep the amount of
restimulation under control.  If you don't control the itsa line, the PC will
restimulate more charge than you can get as-ised.  The time limiter you use
can be by subject or location, as well as by date.

     A PC answering prepcheck questions is giving you key itsas.  If a
prepcheck is done for this lifetime, you should get a keyed-out clear, per the
Book 1 definition of clear.  [See DMSMH, pp. 8-17; 770-17]  Clearing in this
way is destimulation by knocking out the points where restimulation took
place, making incidents inert.  An inert incident can be restimulated,
however.

     Degree of restimulation is not important to state of case; neither is the
condition of being restimulated.  But there is a state of case with respect to
restimulation.  All cases are restimulated to some degree, but some are
over-restimulated.  A case that is over-restimulated will not discharge the
restimulation by ordinary means, because discharge has somehow been
prevented.  This condition is important; it is getting ahold of too much and
not discharging it.  A uncontrolled itsa line can cause over-restimulation.
An incident that is discharged has been relieved of charge, so that it can no
longer be restimulated.  Restimulation can be let off without the incident
that was restimulated being



                                      485

discharged.  It can simply be destimulated.  So, with a bank, you can either
destimulate it by knocking out the key-ins of the original charge, or you can
discharge it by running it.  A discharge is a flowing off of charge.  When an
incident is discharged, it is gone, and it is no longer capable of being
restimulated.

     Let us assume that the reactive mind consists mainly of inert incidents.
If they would just stay quiet, you would never have to clear anybody.
However, the PC's attention can be directed at the incident, by life,
auditing, or the PC himself, at which point the incident converts the PC's
attention to restimulation, over which he has no control.  If the PC's
attention goes to the incident so as to have understanding and confront, you
will see TA motion, and the incident can be discharged, or erased.  On the
other hand, if the PC's attention flicks over the incident, giving a key-in,
you can knock out the moment of key-in by having him look at it, and it will
destimulate again, i.e. it will key out.  Bank is inert until life or auditing
causes the PC's attention to go onto a portion of it.  The PC's attention is
the actual source of charge.

     An 18-button prepcheck should key out anything that keyed in.  It can
destimulate somebody to the state of clear.  So you don't have to make a clear
to make an OT.  You only have to make a key-out clear.

     The state of case of the PC is directly represented and analyzed by the
tone arm, and the free needle.  The eight levels of case compare with eight
states of the tone arm and needle.  [See pp.  414-415 for a description of the
eight levels of case.]

   Case Level:  8. Stage 4 needle.

           7. Continuous rock slam.

           6. Stuck needle at clear read (dead thetan).

           5. Low TA.

           4. High TA.

           3. TA moving in the high range.

           2. Good TA through and past clear read.

           1. F/N at clear read.

     When LRH tried to go from destimulated clear to discharged clear, he
found that there was no waystop short of OT.  The condition you've got to
have, to take anyone to OT, is a TA moving through clear read, with good TA.
Without that, there is too much restimulation present for you to get the PC to
discharge material from the backtrack or to get into GPM's.  If you tried to
do this anyway, the PC's TA would tend to stick, then to go high, then to go
low, then eventually to stick at clear read.  If you then did a prepcheck,
which would now be harder, you could send him back to all those states of TA,
as you destimulated the case.  You wouldn't have to go all the way to F/N to
go to the backtrack, now.  The subject isn't how you discharge the incident;
it is when.  The TA should be moving around, preferably through 3.0, before
you try to go backtrack.

     So you can make a clear by prepchecking a few prepared subjects.  The
case will feel wonderful, sometimes for years, until he starts wondering
whether he still has any worries about what used to bother him.  Then he
starts restimulating himself and gets keyed in.  A mere key-out clear can't be
OT, because when he tries to turn on the power, it kicks in the inert
incidents.  The only way to make clear completely stable would be to discharge
everything in the bank.  From F/N'ing, the meter goes blank, because you've
got nothing to measure.  That's OT.



                                      486

     Over-restimulation is the cause of amnesia, edgy and bad body feelings,
etc.  If you gave the PC three sessions in a row without getting any TA,  he
would feel rather bad, because just the auditing would have restimulated
charge, and you would have an over-restimulated case.  When this happens,
memory gets bad, facsimiles get harder to see, incidents get jammed together.
The bank gets to be a mess.  All this is due to over-restimulation.  If the PC
now gets prepchecked and destimulated, he can approach the track, but this can
be done with good TA only if the auditing is done gradiently, with good
clean-up of everything contacted, discharging it as you go.  Don't fail to pay
attention to the TA and go backtrack, hoping to get the incident responsible
for the restimulation.  You will restimulate more than you discharge, in the
process of looking for the incident.  A cheerful PC equals the itsa line in
and the TA moving.  It almost doesn't matter what the TA is moving on.  Case
level relates to over-restimulation, not to the amount of bank the PC has.

     The auditing target is always the restimulated charge, not the inert
material in the bank. [See Fig. 18] The PC can always restimulate more, once
he has discharged what was available.

FIGURE 20: DESTIMULATION

                              [GRAPHICS INSERTED]



                                      488

"Clear" means "nothing in the restimulation chamber".  If too much gets
restimulated, by life, auditing, or the PC, the auditor can destimulate it
with prepchecks and ARC break assessments, [See Fig. 20, p. 487, above.]  It
is not possible to audit someone without doing one of three things:

     1. Restimulating [See Fig. 18, p. 486].

     2. Destimulating [See Fig. 20, p. 487].  This is the same as keying
        something out.

 or  3. Discharging [See Fig. 19, p. 487].  This is the same as erasing.

Auditing is always doing at least one of these three things.  When a case is
already confused and is not confronting well, naturally the amount of
destimulation and discharge are minimal, so restimulation takes over.  You
will get no TA motion.  When you don't destimulate or discharge anything, you
will restimulate more and you will get no TA.  Lack of TA is a danger signal.
The auditor should find out why.  There are two possible actions:

     1. The auditor may do something that can discharge [or destimulate] the
        restimulated charge, e.g. prepchecking or flattening what has been
        left unflat.  Prepchecking or R2H would be safest.

     2. He can look for something that is preventing discharge.  [E.g. by
        doing an ARC break assessment to find the correct BPC.]

If the TA is not restored immediately, only one thing is wrong:  the case is
sitting in a service facsimile and will only worsen until the service
facsimile is cleared.

     If a small amount of auditing doesn't restore the case to a clear state,
the PC has a service facsimile.  If he is sitting in one, it must be run, or
he will not improve.  Prepchecks turn on mass in the presence of a service
facsimile, because the PC has no intention of getting rid of it.  The PC won't
let go of the service fac and the service fac won't surrender to the
prepcheck.  This also includes hidden standards.  Now that we know that the
anatomy of a service fac is a rightness-wrongness computation, we can do
something about it.  We knew of their existence before, as can be seen in
Advanced Procedures and Axioms [pp. 7-11].  The 18-button prepcheck should key
out the PC.  If it doesn't, the PC has a service fac.

     A prepcheck is just a series of types of decisions that a thetan makes
about things.  If it turns on mass, it must be in conflict with rightness and
wrongness.  So, in the PC's eyes, the auditor is trying to make the PC wrong
with the prepcheck, and the PC moves the facsimile forward as a defense,
increasing mass.

     The only reason for high TA is over-restimulation.  The two things that
prevent its cure are:

     1. The case's over-restimulated condition.

     2. A service facsimile that the case isn't about to give up.

To some degree, most cases fall into the service fac category, but most don't
have the service fac directly in the road of auditing.  Only service facs that
lie across the road of auditing interfere with clearing.  If the service fac
has to do with the PC's spiritual condition, with his case itself, then you
have to handle it so that he can get case gain.  The more a PC is trying to be
right by having a wrong case, the less progress the auditor will make with
this case.  A PC says, "If I didn't have a bank, they'd give me one," So
having a bank is "right".



                                      489

     Don't let the PC itsa beyond the answer to the auditing question.  It is
far better for the PC to feel that his comm has been cut than for him to pull
in restimulation by being permitted to overrun an answer.

     An 18-button prepcheck on an assessed this lifetime subject or subjects
should give you a key-out clear, but a service fac won't surrender to a
prepcheck.

SHSpec-301 The Service Facsimile




6308C29 SHSpec-301 The Service Facsimile

     Although we call it a "service facsimile", there is more to be known
about it than was in earlier definitions.  In the past, it has been said that
a service facsimile is "what a person uses to explain his condition or get his
way in the world."  It is called a service facsimile because it was of service
to the PC.  The service fac manifestation is a blood brother to the O/W
mechanism.  It is how you make people guilty.  The current definition of
service fac is that it is that condition which the individual uses to make
himself right and others wrong.  Using this definition, we can crack cases.
The only hazard is the use of right/wrong in GPM's, but the use of a time
limitation to "in this lifetime" obviates any danger of restimulating the
GPM.  The GPM is not the reason for the service fac.  There is an upper-scale
rationale: survival.  For instance, the Darwinian implant [See pp. 444-445,
above] has "to persist" at the beginning of it, all by itself.  But this is
rare.  However, when the goal "to survive" occurs, it is couched in the word
"persist".  There is no GPM known, to date, that contains the word,
"survive".  This concept is therefore not motivated by bank.  Therefore you
can use "survive" in processing pretty easily.  Implanters used the words
"live" and "alive" a lot, but "survive" is the top scale of all this.

     It is OK for us to go back to healing now, since:

     a. Doctors (the AMA) haven't appreciated the fact that we ever stopped
        healing people.

     b. They will be socialized in five years, anyway.

They are convinced that "curing" is impossible.  However, 22 1/2% of people,
e.g. patients, PCs, or whatever, get well with any or no or fraudulent
treatment.  They are apparently in an hypnotic state and respond to
suggestion.  So any healing profession should get at least a 22 1/2% Cure
rate, unless it is doing something to depress the patient and to prevent
healing from occurring.  If you get less than 22 1/2%, you are actually
impeding the cure.  Only two things prevent the scientologist from healing
PCs:

     1. Inability to get in communication with the PC, e.g.  because he is
        dead.

     2. The service facsimile.

     If we allow for the fact that it takes a relatively short time to train
an auditor into using this-lifetime techniques; if you take such an auditor
and don't worry about making him into an auditor who can make an OT; if you
turn him loose with only an understanding of the service facsimile, the itsa
line, and repetitive prepchecking, limited to this lifetime; if you let him
rely on the tone arm, there he would be, practically sweeping the boards, as
far as illness is concerned.



                                      490

     For a person to have a bad back, he must have more than a facsimile of an
experience involving a bad back causing it.  He must have had it restimulated
by something, and to have a real bad back, something must be keeping it in
restimulation.  Something has to kick the facsimile in and hold it in.

     You must add to the restimulation factor a mental aberration factor.  It
is not just what is restimulated.  It is what the PC feels might become
restimulated, what he himself opposes, what he becomes afraid of when he is
restimulated. So the individual is added to the equation.  The experiential
pattern of an individual -- regardless of incidents containing pain, etc. --
might be aberrative.  For instance, say a person has lived all his life in a
very cold environment.  He gets knowingness, in the process.  If you throw him
out in the 40-below cold, either he has confidence that he can withstand the
cold, or he doesn't.  Accordingly, he either freezes to death or lives,
respectively.  This is true even though a person is conditioned and trained to
handle the cold.  People may react differently to the same engram.  There is
no guarantee that someone will respond one way or the other to their
"stimulus-response" conditioning.  One person will be terrified by some
danger; another person will ignore it; another will look and say, "Oh."  What
makes the difference?  We come back to the service fac for the answer:  How
could you use a facsimile to make people wrong?

     So there are three reactions to an engram:

     1. The guy who is terrified of the facsimile has, in back of this, lots
        of ways to be right and to make others wrong by having this
        facsimile.

     2. The guy who ignores it has no use for it at all, one way or the
        other.

     3. The guy who confronts it has another method of making others wrong:
        being competent with regard to this type of facsimile.

The rightness-wrongness possibility is present to some degree in everyone and
in every bank.

     To the healer, this represents a barrier, because someone who is using an
illness or disability to make someone else wrong won't respond to treatment.
Or, if you cure one thing, he will pick up something else to do the job of
making himself right and others wrong. [Symptom-substitution.  See also Haley
on oneupsmanship games.]

     Aberrated behavior is a service facsimile in at least a goodly percentage
of cases.  When you do mimicry processing and the PC persists in crazy
behavior, he has a vested interest in acting crazy.  This makes it hard to
tell how good a deaberrative technique is.  However, if it works on a lot more
than 22 1/2% of cases, it is probably a good technique that is rendered
ineffective in some cases by a service fac.

     The tone arm turned out to be a reliable measure of case progress.  If
you don't get destimulation or discharge, you will get restimulation, because
something is happening.  If you don't get any TA action, you know that you are
not getting any destimulation or discharge and that therefore restimulation is
all that is occurring.  Therefore, don't audit without TA action.  The margin
of time during which you can audit a PC without TA action before he starts
feeling horrible is only about three sessions.  If a PC is upset about
auditing, is having trouble handling life, etc., it is only because of
over-restimulation, from whatever source -- GPM's, ARC breaks, or whatever.



                                      491

     What about a medium, or "acceptable" amount of TA action:  fifteen to
twenty downward divisions per 2 1/2 hour session?  Excellent TA would be about
thirty divisions per session; acceptable is 15-20.  Below that level, more
restimulation than discharge is occurring.  These are just approximate
figures.  A great deal of adding-up has not yet been done, to tabulate the
figures exactly.  So there is a point where there is an apparency of TA
motion, yet the PC is not getting better and only restimulation is occurring.
Auditing a PC on and on with no TA will over-restimulate him all the way up
the TA dial, backwards through 7, all the way to dead thetan.  [LRH introduces
here the idea of a TA counter.]

     Why does a TA go up and stick?  Only because of the pressure of
over-restimulation.  If you have no TA action or if you are getting a rising
TA without discharge, you get [over-]restimulation, because you are
overwhelming the PC's power of choice.  You are trying to get a discharge, and
the PC won't let go of it, and he becomes more and more ARC breaky.  If the TA
is going up even when you are not auditing backtrack, you must still be
overwhelming the PC's power of choice.  Between not getting TA and getting
high TA, we move into service facs.  When you are doing a prepcheck and it
turns on mass, you have bumped into something that shouldn't be there.  A
service facsimile has moved in to assert whatever you are prepchecking and
trying to get rid of.  Any mass, for a thetan, is an assertion that something
is wrong, and there is something weird about it.  The mass comes from the
complete disagreement that you and the PC have, concerning whatever it is that
turned mass on.  You want to get rid of it.  But the PC does not intend to get
better, because he has to hang onto bank, to make someone wrong with it.

     It stands to reason that any thetan that has been hit hard and
continuously, that has had continued loses, and that is trying to get back at
and attack some area, will be unable to put the itsa line in on that area.  He
can't say if the area is bad or good.  He can't say what it is.  He doesn't
feel that he can be at cause over that comm line.  So his final method of
staying at cause is to be right and for the other person to be wrong.  This
goes down to the point where he merely has to hold the concept of being right
and the other person being wrong.  This way, in a sense, he is still being
cause.  This mechanism persists, therefore, because the PC can't as-is it,
because he can't observe it anymore.  One can be haunted by a nonexistent
thing if one doesn't have the comm lines to observe it.  The PC never knows
when it goes away.  If you can't inspect something, you can't inspect its
cessation.  Therefore, for survival, the best thing to do is to assume that
the thing is still there.  That is the safest course.  Life teaches you that
it is dangerous to go look and see.  You operate on the principle that if you
can't ascertain that something has ended, you had better assume that it is
continuing.

     Something that the PC can't cure with processing must be a service fac.
You can ask the PC how he is making others wrong.  Then, when you get it, you
can ask him how he is being right with it.  Aberrated survival mechanisms all
sit around on buttons of rightness-wrongness, survival, and domination.  The
O/W system is connected with this through the make-guilty mechanism.  These
are survival mechanisms, buy they are not sensible.  Unfortunately, the words,
"rightness", "wrongness", "survive", and "dominate" are also in the bank.  So
you have to indulge in some broken-field running to handle these buttons.



                                      492

     The more force there is and the less one can stand it and be cause over
the user of the force, the more one goes into forms of aberrated rightness and
wrongness against the holder of force.  Hence people break minor laws to be
right about the government, since it is so overwhelming.  This is quite
irrational.

     To find a service fac, you could use the original listing steps of R2 or
the preliminary assessment of R3R, or you could ask the PC, "What have you
been trying to resolve about your case, in processing?", taking anything that
didn't resolve with processing as a service facsimile.  "What would be a
method of making others wrong?" could also get it.  Be prepared for the
service fac not to be very sensible, but don't reject it, even if it does seem
reasonable, as long as it is something that hasn't yielded to auditing.

SHSpec-302 How to Find a Service Facsimile




6309C04 SHSpec-302 How to Find a Service Facsimile

     Apparently, there is more to know about service facs than has been
relayed, probably because it is so simple.  PCs don't defend their service
facs against discovery.  If you point the PC in the right direction, he will
go right to the service fac, unless you prevent it.  So don't prevent it!

     In assessing for service facs, there is no substitute for knowing what a
service fac is.  A service fac is, first, a tremendous solution, always
aberrated, in PT, as part of the PC's environment, which, the PC believes,
would result in his survival being threatened if it were disturbed.  It is
something which others keep telling the PC is wrong, causing him to assert
that it is right.  This assertion of rightness is very integral and important
to the service fac.  It makes the PC unauditable to the degree that he is
getting auditing only to prove that it is right.  It sticks out like a sore
thumb.  One could have more trouble labeling it than finding it.

     The human body is a service fac, but if we used that, we would be going
for OT, and we aren't shooting for that.  We are just using the service fac on
this lifetime, to get the PC auditable.  So the body isn't the service fac
that we are trying to target.  Having found a service fac, we don't use it to
make an OT.  We are only trying to get someone auditable and to get the
constantly restimulated solutions out of the way, to clear this lifetime.  On
the whole track, obviously, having a bank is a service facsimile.  That
accounts for the reluctance to go clear noticed earlier, while finding goals.
"Being incapable" could still be a service fac at an OT level, if, say, the OT
couldn't tilt a planet.

     But attacking this kind of service fac directly is too steep a gradient.
You could run service facs at all different levels.  The concept of a service
fac is based on confusion and stable datum theory.  In running a service fac,
we are attacking a solution that is a barrier to getting rid of a confusion.
You can pluck the stable datum out of the center of a confusion and thus get a
discharge of the energy of the confusion.  A stable datum holds a confusion in
place.  This is the reverse of using a stable datum to handle a confusion.
Charge is an electrical confusion.  As long as a stable datum holds a
confusion in place, the confusion will not discharge.



                                      493

     Confusions are tolerable and are not always aberrative.  Most have no
aberrative value, e.g. in a card game.  Life is not, in itself, an aberrative
action.  There has to be some force and violence involved in the confusion, or
at least a fairly real threat to survival, for it to be aberrative.  The
thetan "knows" that if he ceases to dramatize a service fac, he will die.  The
immediate thing someone is worried about may not be the service facsimile
itself.  It could be the consequence of something else that is a service fac.
The consequence could be very hidden; the two things could have at best a
faint connection. As you take off service facs, the central one on which they
all lean eventually comes off.  As you audit the case, you could get off
several before the central one comes to view.  The apparent service facs lean
on the main service fac.

     A rote procedure to apply to this would be a logical solution to a very
illogical area, but it is better to understand what you are doing.  If the
case has been audited, you could collect a list of things that have been found
on the PC, e.g. old lists, R2-12 assessments, etc.  By discussing them with
the PC and following the PCs interest, you could find some service facs.  You
might have to reword some of the things you come up with, The right-wrong
bracket is always the same.  The question is, "How would (the condition or
thing found) make you right and make others wrong?" The service fac is the PC;
it is something he has; it is not like an oppterm.  It is something he has, to
make him right and others wrong.  The PC will slop, on the auditing command.
E.g.  the PC may misduplicate the auditing command as, "What would be made
wrong by it?"  You don't worry about this.  Let the automaticity run out.
Then re-ask your original question and get it answered.

     A service facsimile is not an action.  An action would be the result of a
service fac.  The service fac turns on automaticities because it is an
automatic, unanalyzed solution.  For this reason, you don't run it as a
repetitive process. "Automaticity" means that more answers than the PC can
articulate are arriving from the bank.  When this happens, when words are
coming too fast, you know that you are getting the service fac.  Throw the
question in and let the lions tear at it for awhile; let the automaticity run
out.  Let "er buck when the PC starts to run.  Then, when he runs out of
answers, turn it around and run it the other way, if he hasn't already done it
himself.  You are trying to get rid of the avalanche of automaticity and get
TA.  Also, don't overrun by insisting on more answers than the PC has, or you
can get a stuck flow.  Run it permissively.  It is sometimes difficult to keep
the PC answering the question, just because he is in a dissociated area.  The
solution is holding back a tremendous amount of aberration, which won't as-is
as long as the solution is there.  The solution just keeps accumulating mass.

     The solution is always below 2.0 on the tone scale, because it is
perforce a substitute for an itsa line.  The PC felt that he could not itsa
the object that he was trying to make wrong, so he dreamed up this solution as
a final solution, and that is a substitute for an itsa line.  Then there is no
as-isness or itsa on the environment.  Since there is no as-isness, you get an
accumulation of mass.  Since it is a substitute for an itsa line, the service
fac is referred to whenever the PC refers to anything.  When the solution is
below 2.0, it propounds the idea that to survive, it is necessary to succumb.
That is what it boils down to, aberrated though that is.  For instance, the
solution may be not eating [as in anorexia nervosa].



                                      494

     The service fac doesn't even have to fit in with the guy's environment.
It is often totally hidden.  You can't necessarily spot the service fac by
what the person is doing.  It often goes underground, especially the very
hidden ones.  Some are very obvious, too, sometimes so obvious that you miss
them.  You could ask, as an L and H question, "What do you think your service
fac is?"  Interest is the keynote.

     The service fac is not a deliberate solution.  It is a sub-awareness
automatic solution, which the person is on the verge of all the time.  That is
what makes service facs easy to spot.  If you've got the service fac, the PC
can't stay out of it.  It has to be specific enough.  You can use a
"represent" on something that is too general.  You can assess the list
according to interest.  The PC tends to fall into the whirlpool of the service
fac.

     If the PC has a fragile tone arm, easily stuck, then you've got a service
fac, a solution there that is preventing the charge from running off.  The PC
doesn't have to look at things; he's got it solved.  Once you have the service
fac, get the PC to tell you how, in this lifetime, it would make him right,
etc.  Don't go for the backtrack.  This improves the PC's ability to get TA
action.  The peculiarity of the action you are looking for is not particularly
great, compared with the peculiarity of social mores, but it is posing as
survival when it clearly isn't pro-survival.  The PC will be interested in it,
and it will get TA, because it is a fixed solution.  Your main interest is TA
action.  Just get the mass flowing that was hanging up.

     A service fac is a fixed, contra-survival solution which the person
hasn't inspected.  It could even be a fixed survival solution, but then that
wouldn't interfere with auditing.  However, using conduct as a criterion makes
anyone liable to be put away.  A service fac is batty when compared, not to
the mores of society, but to actual survival.  So you could say the following
about a service fac:

     1. It is contra-survival, but poses as survival.

     2. It has the PC's interest.

     3. It sticks the tone arm.

     4. It is always protruded into PT.

Thus any constant PTP can contain a service fac.  For instance, you could ask,
"What did you come into scientology to resolve?" That is one reason that
service fac processing is beneficial.  However, it is dangerous to list too
many problems on a PC, because you are giving the PC too much whatsit, while
an incomplete list will ARC break the PC.  So you had better two-way comm it.
Use a friendly discussion, so you can move out of it if it gets sticky.  Don't
list it.  When you find an appropriate problem, find the solution in back of
it, and that fixed solution will give you the service fac.  If the discussion
does get sticky, you could free up the TA again by asking for a solution that
the PC has had to each problem he mentions.  Getting a fixed solution means
that you've got the service fac.

     Notice that R1C and R2C are designed to strip away solutions and stable
data.  Therefore, they are not likely to freeze up the TA.  Find out if the PC
has run R1C and R2C.  You can use this for data.  You can ask what the PC
found interesting.  Don't ask, "What problems would that solve?"  That sticks
the TA.  Assess it.  Then you can get the service fac.  The R3R preliminary
assessment is almost a dead-center pitch at the service fac, providing it
winds



                                      495

up with a statable solution.  This solution should be something that makes
sense to you and the PC.  Getting the item with the PC's interest will give
you the service fac.  The level assessed will be too broad.  The service fac
is a magnet.  You are asking for right answers, and the PC is giving you the
rightest answer of all.  You can even get the service fac as a non-sequitur
item on a list.  So watch for service facs on any list.  The fact that the
item that is a service fac is dissociated gives you a clue.

     The PC will handle your session with his service fac.  Eventually it
downs on you what he has been doing.  Keep running service facs until you get
change in the PC and a free needle and good TA.  The service fac is the source
of the PTP that the PC keeps coming to session with, so getting it saves you
all sorts of time and trouble, when you get it out of the way.  Get rid of the
service fac, and over-restimulation of the case ends.  This would reduce by
50% the total restimulation on the case, so cases wouldn't keep dropping
between sessions because of environmental restimulation.

     Having the PC's attention on disabilities keeps his attention off the
bank.  Thus a good handling of service facs increases by a hundred to one the
runability of the case.  So you can now run him on a steeper gradient.

SHSpec-302A R3SC

     [Some of the data in this tape are contained in HCOB 1Sep63 "Scientology
Three: Clearing-clearing-clearing:  Routine Three SC".]

     The reason a person doesn't recover under auditing has been a subject of
investigation, off and on, since 1949.  It was most recently looked at with
regard to R2-12.  It has now come up again with the discovery that to get case
gain a PC had to have TA motion.  The fact that you are getting TA action
doesn't guarantee that the PC will feel better, but no TA action does
guarantee that the PC will feel worse.  A PC could feel no better, despite
getting TA action, because he is getting somewhat over-restimulated, while
still getting some charge off.

     By classes of auditors, here is what should happen with TA motion:

     Class I:   He may or may not be able to get TA; it's mostly chance that
                determines it.

     Class II:  The auditor has to be able to direct attention enough to be
                able to get TA action while he listens.  It is very light
                attention-directing.

     Class III: The auditor directs the PC's attention towards service facs
                and clearing.  The itsa line is controlled more firmly, to
                limit the PC's attention to this lifetime and to what you are
                trying to run, using mid-ruds, etc., to do it.

     Class IV:  At this level, you are dealing with living lightning:
                backtrack stuff, GPM's, slippery track, etc.

If you see the various classes of auditors arranged in order of increasing
control of the PC's attention, rather than by degree of complexity of material
studied, it is all quite clear.



                                      496

     By overwhumping the PC, by restimulating more on the backtrack than you
can discharge, and by not controlling the PC's attention and letting him skid
around restimulating things, you get get the PC into a condition where
restimulation is too great even to permit.  the discharge of the key-in.  This
is quite a problem.  The resolution of this problem comes with running the
service facsimile.

     A service facsimile is a solution that the person himself has so
restimulated that it won't discharge, and nothing will discharge past it.  It
is so valuable as a solution that the PC feels he would perish if he got rid
of it.  It's an overcharged solution which the PC himself is keeping charged
up.  It sits there, and no charge is permitted to flow by it.  Unfortunately
for the being, it has a weird sort of workability.  It is a non-survival
solution that has become survival.  It appears to make sense until it is
inspected.  It has lots of A = A = A in it.

     When you start to run a service fac by running engrams of the thing, it
will grind, and it won't erase.  This is another odd datum.  The service fac
is mainly diagnosed by the fact that the TA hangs up, not by how the person
acts in life.  The low TA or dead thetan case always has a service fac.  The
dead thetan case is sometimes hard to spot.  Sometimes he is just sitting in
something, and when you ask a question, you get an F/N.  A high TA case
probably has a service fac, although it is questionable.  A case whose TA is
between 3.5 and 3.75, with a responsive needle, has a good chance of having a
service fac, but doesn't necessarily have one.  A person who tends to be out
of control on the backtrack is over-restimulated.  You might even try to find
a service fac on him.

     When a PC has a service fac, the normal river of discharge is blocked by
a stable datum that the PC feels is vital to his survival: the service fac.
The hallmark of a service fac is that sometimes, when it is being run out or
between sessions, the PC questions the wisdom of getting rid of it.  A service
fac is present where life has done so much overwhelming and the PC has done so
much overwhelming that life makes no more sense.  He has abandoned it, and in
lieu of it, he has erected this insane stable datum:  the service fac.

     It might be better to call the service fac a "service computation" or a
"survival computation", since it isn't actually a single facsimile at all.  It
is the person himself keeping the facsimile in restimulation because he knows
it is best.  There are also third dynamic service facs, such as the current
prison system.  Penologists know very well that the current prison system does
nothing to handle crime.  It only increases crime.  This system, which was
adopted in 1835, was intended, not to rehabilitate criminals, but to dramatize
making criminals wrong.  Prisons are actually universities of crime,
maintained at public expense.  Similarly, the FDA's actions are the result of
a basically good idea, namely that the public should be protected against
noxious food and drug products.  But this idea has gone bonkers.  It was a
good solution that has been plowed in, so that it appears lower and lower of
the tone scale and becomes an aberration.  [The legal system of precedent is
based on the same principle as the service fac, in that it involves
maintaining old solutions without necessarily inspecting them.]



                                      497

     It is not true that every solution becomes a service fac.  A service fac
is a solution that is insisted upon but won't itsa.  A solution, to be a real
solution, leads to a further ability to itsa.  If a solution reduces the
ability to itsa, it is a potential service fac.  The FDA is taking over the
public's ability to inspect goodness of food and denying the public an
analytical attitude towards products, thereby reducing the public's itsa.  The
public no longer inspects and decides.  The FDA can now go in and can pass
stuff as good that isn't, because of politics, corruption, etc.  The public
can now be caved in by it.

     You would never look to travel agencies as a source of social aberration,
because their business is to increase itsa.  It can occasionally occur that
they do, though there can sometimes be problems associated with this, e.g.
British West Indies immigrants flooding the U.K.  However, it is reducing itsa
that has a bad effect on society.  Generally, those things that result in or
produce a solution without inspection that is too broadly applied generate
service facs.  The service fac prevents itsa of charge that comes up, thus
causing the accumulation of mass.  This mass gets restimulated when you
prepcheck something that nicks the area.  Lack of itsa also causes lack of TA
action, since without itsa outflowed, there is no discharge of charge.
Families can get into a no-itsa of their individual members.  Lack of itsa
results in a failure to handle a situation in its own zone of reality, which
is all that aberration is.  A service fac makes it [apparently] unnecessary to
cope with anything in its own sphere of reality.  That is the "service" that a
service fac performs.  The resultant accumulated mass causes no TA in the
area, no result in prepchecking or other processing.  The more service facs
the PC has, the harder it is for you to get TA action on him.

     In some cases, there are definite advantages to getting service facs out
of the way before proceeding to running back track.  You can save time and
stabilize clears by destimulating what could key in.  R3SC is a very workable
process.  Just inspect the folder, past assessments, etc., looking especially
for periods when the TA shut down, i.e. where TA motion stopped for awhile.
Whatever TA motion stopped on will be a likely candidate for R3SC.  Don't
overrun it.  If the PC has trouble answering it, come off that particular
subject.  The right subject gives very good action.  The faster you get the
real service fac, the sooner TA action is restored.

     So this makes R2-12-type processes unnecessary.  It solves the problem of
rockslammers, chronic PTP's, hidden standards, and body masses.  Mainly, it
restores TA action.  R3SC, run on a few service facs, advances the case to
clear.  It is a Level III process because it is a clearing process.  Current
Routine Threes that actually produce OT's, e.g. R3N, will be renumbered as
Level IV processes.

SHSpec-303 Service Facsimile Assessment




6309C05 SHSpec-303 Service Facsimile Assessment

     We have been walking around the edges of the field of psychotherapy for
some time.  There is a third dynamic service fac in this field, in that
medical doctors, who have no training for and have no business in the field of
mental healing, are attempting to take dominance over this field.  They have
no understanding of the mind; only an understanding of the brain.  All you
would have to to is to get legislatures to pass laws that would only allow
those trained in the field of the mind to practice in that field, and you
would have secured the field.  There are only 272 mental practitioners in
England, so we have mocked up our own opposition, our own extra item.  So
people qualified at Level III will soon have a certificate as a psychiatric
consultant.  There is no legal patent on the name.

     Level III is expected to be able to clear.  It also, incidentally, takes
in the ability to treat insanity: neurosis and psychosis.  These are just a
different degree of what is wrong with the mind.  The person who can't even
manage himself and the environment, we call insane.  What is wrong with him
is that he has got the final solution: some solution that is so all-pervading
that he doesn't have to itsa anything.  After that, he never has to look, so
he just disappears in a mound of un-as-ised mass.

     In processing, a certain amount of introversion takes place, for the
purpose of bringing about extroversion.  The only time introversion and
erasure do not bring about greater reach and greater ARC is when
over-restimulation is brought about.  That factor still exists in Class IV,
but there it is whole track that is most likely to get a PC into an
over-restimulated condition, not just itsa on this lifetime.  At Level III,
you could over-restimulate someone who was already batty.  The worse off a
case is, the more careful you have to be of over-restimulation.  For instance,
someone who had been running on a conceptual basis, who did not have much
reach and not much ARC with the environment, might get over-restimulated if
you got them to contact the pain in the thing that they are running.

     To clear somebody, you will stay in this lifetime.  Only at Level IV do
you leave this lifetime, and that is when someone has an active TA that
doesn't go high or low.  With any PC on this planet, it is environmental
restimulation that is the straw that breaks the PC's back.  You can go
backtrack, but it is rough.  It can make the PC unauditable.  An HGC,
operating with raw public, or even with scientologists, has to battle with
environmental restimulation, not with the bank.  Neurotic and psychotic states
are caused by environmental restimulation.  The two factors involved are:

           1. The amount of environmental restimulation.

           2. The inherent susceptibility of the individual.

Therefore, if all you did was to try to reduce environmental restimulation,
some people would go sane and others would go mad with boredom.  It is a
question of acceptable randomity.  Do-gooders end up reducing randomity, and
things can get pretty boring.  An acceptable level of randomity equals the
amount of environmental restimulation divided by the amount of restimulation
the individual can withstand: this being equal to some constant.  PCs usually
audit only what they consider safe.  The mind starts to shut off any
restimulation that would overwhelm it [Cf. "the



                                      499

mind's protection"].  The PC's ability to resist restimulation is too low for
him to face up to track.  So how are you going to get anything done?

     There are three types of cases:

     1. Normal confront of bank: those which audit easily.

     2. No confront of bank: those who refuse to approach the bank.

     3. Suicidal confront: those whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs, so
        that they go in over their heads all the time.

We want to convert the two latter sorts of cases into the former.

     All cases tend towards the safe solution.  Some cases also adopt a
vengeful solution, like getting even with people by dying.  Even a dangerous
solution seems like the safe solution to the PC.  All cases, when they become
more auditable, do so along the channel of the safe solution.  A safe solution
is a safe decision, a safe environment, a safe assumption, etc.  All human
rights disappear down the channel of the safe solution.  That is the hole in
the bathtub.  It is actually very dangerous to have a safe solution -- it
inhibits observation, and anything that inhibits observation, destroys.
Someone who is very neurotic or psychotic is so to the degree that they have
adopted a safe solution.

     This datum underlies mental healing as sweepingly as the datum that
"survival is the common denominator".  It is another way of saying the same
thing.  People adopt survival solutions, when then become so "safe" that they
become contra-survival.  The safe solution makes the person right and others
wrong, enhancing the person's survival by putting him in a position of
dominance and letting him escape domination by others.  It lets him survive
and causes others to succumb, he thinks.  This reaches extremes of craziness,
e.g.  the miser who starves in a household of $100 bills.  His method of
survival is to have lots of money.  It is a very safe solution, but in his
obsession with this safe solution, he has neglected to spend any of it to
live.  So his attention becomes more and more concentrated and less and less
sensible.

     For someone to be wise, he must be able to observe his environment; he
must be able to reach.  It is not good enough to have maxims tucked away, to
which you can refer in times of stress.  Philosophy becomes, not wisdom, but a
study of safe solutions.

     The safe solution is the service facsimile.  There are times when you
will have to be very clever to find just what it is.  In the PC, it is
complicated, alter-ised, and not believable.  There could be thousands of
them.  You want to get the One.  The test is, "Did it resolve the case?" In
the first ones you find, the most you can hope for is to find something that
moves the TA and brings you closer to resolving the PC's case.  When you have
found the service fac on the case, the needle will be looser, and the TA will
be in a more reasonable state, acting better.

     When something you have found doesn't run on the right/wrong bracket, you
prepcheck.  This is an invariable rule.  You could fix the PC up by taking
anything that has been found charged on old assessments and prepchecking it.
That which you couldn't prepcheck with TA, you could run on "right/wrong".  If
it goes nowhere on that, OK.  There is no harm done.  All this will eventually
reveal the service fac.



                                      500

     One way in which you could be too clever with this would be to get
over-ambitious and throw the PC in over his head, as follows:  You are pulling
the stable datum out of the confusion.  Therefore, the PC may be thrown into
the confusion, which makes him feel weird.  If you run R3SC on the stable
datum until it is flat, it will make it all right for the PC.

     One of the tests of the service fac is that the PC is likely to say, or
at least think, that he is not sure that it is wise to get rid of it.  Be very
sure, if you are working with someone who is already shaky, that you unburden
the case gradiently, even though he is standing there saying his service fac.
Environmental restimulation has to be reduced on such a case before you add
any processing restimulation.

     The better the assessment and the less gradient there had been, the
greater the shock to the person.  Remember: the PC adopted the safe solution
because he couldn't stand the environmental restimulation.  So you don't
necessarily want to get the big stable data first.  It is better to start off
with R1C or 2WC on solutions that he has had to his problems.  The more
solutions he has had to a problem, the more it will stick.

     How do you raise someone's ability to withstand environmental
restimulation?  You pull his service fac, since that is what reduces his
ability to see his environment.  The more safe solutions he has adopted, the
more environmental restimulation he isn't as-ising, the less he is
confronting, etc.  Oddly enough, or not so oddly, the thing that reduces his
ability to handle his environment is the thing that he has adopted to handle
his environment for him.  When you remove that thing, he can now confront and
inspect the environment and handle it.

     When you get the environmental restimulation out of the way, the PC can
confront the backtrack.  We have gone into this line because we want a faster
run to OT.  "I don't care anything much about clearing or whether he gets
clear or not." We are not trying to make a happy persons we are trying to make
an able person.  You can make a clear by getting off enough service facs.  It
makes a better human being, but the point is to cut down the time spent at
Level IV, which is already a sizable amount.

     At Level III, then, we can handle environmental restimulation.  By
knocking out the service facsimile, which is what encourages environmental
restimulation, we have enough attention free so that We can go whole-track and
erase things faster, and we are not held up by low TA's and high TA's.  [So we
don't have this situation:] "W started to do a GPM; we got a little bit mixed
up; we got into the Bear goals; then we got into the Helatrobus -- didn't
realize it, but we were into the Invisible Picture Goals all the time...." By
knocking out the service fac, session restimulation also drops, because the
session is part of the environment.

     The assessment for R3SC is a simple one.  It is L and N.  The lists don't
have to be super-long.  In fact, they should not be longer than eight to ten
pages, with twenty items per page, unless it is just safe to keep on listing.
A list should be only as long as it has to be to keep the PC from ARC breaking
because it is incomplete.



                                      501

     Here is the R3SC procedure:

     1. You do a Parts of Existence list and null it down to some one item
        that the PC doesn't object to, say "peanuts".  It doesn't matter if
        the item is right, so long as the PC doesn't argue about it.  If, say,
        four items are left in and the list isn't complete, we will just do
        step (2) to all four of the levels left in, as long as the PC isn't
        protesting.  PCs dramatize doing only what is safe, ss they move in
        towards the service fac, so you may need to do this assessment several
        times.

     2. Take the item found and list safe solutions to it, safe assumptions
        about it, or safe decisions about it, whatever clears with the PC.
        The item you get, e.g.  "not eat them", is probably either as close as
        you can get to the service fac at this time or the service fac
        itself.

     3. Take the item and work it over until it is a solution to more than
        just that one dynamic, e.g. a solution to more than just "peanuts".
        You could ask, "How could that apply to other dynamics?", etc.  We
        want a broader version of the safe assumption, to get closer to the
        real service fac.

     4. In any case, take whatever you get from (3) and run R3SC brackets or
        prepcheck on it.

     5. Repeat the entire procedure, starting with a new Parts of Existence
        list.

     6. Run it to free needle.

     If you run something and you still have some charge on it, list for safe
assumptions about that topic.  Look for identifications.  PC's will mention
assumptions that don't make sense.  Such an identification is a cousin to one
or more service facs.  Note them when you find them.  This whole operation
does take some genius.
