THE POWER PROCESSES
There are three Power Processes being run at this time.
They are known as the Source, Existence, and the Conditions
Process.
I - Source
Definition: SOURCE: that from which something comes
or develops; place of origin; cause.
Source Process Commands
1. Tell me a source.
2. Tell me about it.
3. Tell me a no source.
4. Tell me about it.
Flattening the Source Process
The Source Process is ended when the preclear exper-
iences brightness and solidity changes in the auditing room.
The preclear will comment that the room is brighter and more
solid.
Source Process Clearing of Commands
1. Clear the word "source" and the word "no source"
by having the preclear look up the definition in the dictionary.
2. Clear the command, "Tell me a source."
3. Clear the command, "Tell me a no source."
4. Clear the command, "Tell me about it."
THEORY OF THE SOURCE PROCESS
The Source Process is used to get a preclear not only to
answer the auditing command and tel1 where it is coming from,
but also to handle the preclear on the entire scale from NO
SOURCE to TOTAL SOURCE to AWARENESS OF SOURCES.
The No-Source Case
One of the lowest levels of cases is the case who has
never caused anything and who does not recognize that anyone
else can cause things. This case is one of totally fixed
attention units, all of which are completely fixated on some-
thing which is not there, but which is meaningful and male-
volent; therefore, this case has sought the refuge of the
non-existence of source to avail this something. To such a
case there is no existence, and no conditions. Recognizing
no source, this preclear, therefore, has no auditor, is not
himself there either, and of course, has never done anything.
Preclears in this state can quite easily admit to having done
most anything because in actuality they have not ever done
anything.
Further cases at NO SOURCE have no awareness of any
emotion or sensation although they can exhibit physically
the manifestations of emotion and sensation, but their
awareness of doing so is nil or at the most a slight curio-
sity that their bodies are reacting in an odd manner. Every-
thing is pointless to such a case as there is NO SOURCE and
therefore no way to effect any changes. Such a case is self-
invalidative, irresponsible, and speaks in total generalities,
such reflecting the no source of causation. This person, too,
is haunted by ghosts, delusions, and false beings all of which
are phenomena of no source. The individual is quite theety-
weety.
The perception of such a case as the NO SOURCE case
is that the environment is either rather dark or transparent.
An auditor to get reality concerning how the world looks to
such a case should look at the reflection of a room as mirrored
in a window.
The Total Source Case
Up scale to a degree from the NO SOURCE case is the
TOTAL SOURCE CASE, the case which is pretending to be total
source when obviously the person is not. Here we have the
megalomaniac, the self-assertive case, the pathological
braggart, and the guilt case. Such cases think they cause
everything or pretend to cause everything or think they have
caused things they haven't or pretend to cause things which
they haven't. Such cases are continuously making false assign-
ments or cause. Such cases tend in two directions - because
they are "cause of everything", they are guilty for all that
has happened or is happening or because they are "cause of
everything", they are in a state of fighting everyone else in
their environment as fancied threats to their own false cause.
In the latter case, falls the paranoid who is certain that he
is being "done-in" because he is so important that the "FBI is
after him". Such a case, if he recognizes other source at
all, recognizes it only as a threat to him or as a bad causa-
tion which only he can right.
Usually such cases as the TOTAL SOURCE case flip-flops
between the two extremes in his considerations - "he is
either a guilty, horrible, blameworthy creature" or "he is a
genius, a fantastic being whom others are trying to get at".
In auditing such a case as the TOTAL SOURCE case, the
auditor for this preclear does not exist either, as such a
preclear can admit of no other source or if the auditor does
exist, the auditor is only to this preclear a source of dis-
traction or a source of bad cause. If he is in propitiation
to the auditor, it will be those "above the auditor" who are
the source of bad cause.
What the auditor must recognize and know about both the
NO SOURCE case and the TOTAL SOURCE case and the various har-
monics of such as dramatized on various dynamics is that
neither case can as-is either because there is no source at
all or because source is mis-assigned. As-isness can only
occur with the proper assignment of source or authorship.
Since the ability to perceive source is the key to solving
problems, such people have enormous numbers or problems, but
never seem to describe the real problem; thus they seem quite
baffling.
Definitions: ATTENTION UNIT: A theta energy quantity
of awareness existing in the mind in varying quantity from
person to person.
FIXED ATTENTION UNITS: Attention units
which are caught somewhere down tne time track in one incident
or another in the form of entheta.
GENERALITY: A general or nonspecific
statement which is applicable to all and used in Scientology
to connotate a statement made in an effort to either hide
cause or to overwhelm another person with the all-inclus1ve.
MEGALOMANIAC: A person who has delusions
of grandeur, wealth, power, etc.
DELUSION: A belief in something which is
contrary to fact or reality resulting from deception, mis-
conception, or misassignment.
PARANOID: A person with delusions,
as of grandeur or, especially, persecution.
II - EXISTENCE
Definition: EXISTENCE: An existing state or fact of
being; life; living; continuance of being; an occurrence;
specific manifestation.
Existence Process Commands
1. What is?
2. What isn't.
Flattening the Existence Process
The Existence Process is ended when the preclear gets
into present time. Some preclears are "stuck in present
time". In such cases they will begin answering in present
time and then cycle back on the time track and back into
present time, many times repeating the cycle from present
to past to present to past to present, each time going less
far into the past until they are finally "in present time"
for many commands.
Existence Process Clearing of Commands
1. Clear the word "is" and clear the word "Isn't"
by having the preclear look up the definition in the d1ctionary.
2. Clear the question, "What is?"
3. Clear the question, "What isn't?"
THEORY OF THE EXISTENCE PROCESS
The Existence Process is used to unburden the engram
the preclear is stuck in so the preclear can appear to come
to present time. This process handles obsessive pretence,
chronic alter-is, and dub-in, both in present time and an
the track or objective dub-in and subjective dub-in.
With the Source Process, the auditor improved the pre-
clear's ability to be aware of the sources of things. Now
with the Existence Process, the auditor is to improve the
pre-clear's ability to be aware of the existence of the actual
and the non-existence of the inactual. This process removes
the extraneous incidents off the engram in which the preclear
is stuck so that the preclear apparently comes to present time.
Definitions: PRETENCE: A claim, profession, or alle-
gation which is falsely made or assumed or stated.
AS - ISNESS: This is the basic state-
ment of Reality in Scientology and one of its major contri-
butions. Instead of puzzling as to WHO made the universe or
WHAT made it, the Scientologist simply perceives that it IS.
However, if you attempt to erase an "engram that didn't
happen" (dub-in) or get relief by running a problem that never
existed, there is no case gain. Why? Because one can only
confront or erase what IS, not an alteration of what IS.
To AS - IS something is to look at it AS it IS really, with-
out decoration, excuse, embellishment, dub-in, lies, twists,
and all that. The alterations prevent the erasure of the
actual IS - NESS of the existence or the past or a problem,
etc. One has to confront the truth of it without twists to
erase it.
A preclean who twists things, looks at birds when they
are chickens, was "punished every day" when none touched him,
can not erase any part of the bank. Thus, one sees no TA or
improvement. The pc is working on fantasy or reputational
excuses and isn't AS - ISing. This must be cured before a
preclear can make any real gains, The way to handle it is by
getting the preclear to gradually came to looking at things
as they are. When the preclear can do this, he or she can
now "AS - IS", which is to say, erase bank by looking at
This is the purpose of the Existence Process. The pc does
not have to understand why it works to have it work. It
just works.
ALTER - IS: To introduce a change,
and therefore time and persistence into an AS - IS - NESS
to obtain persistency. An Introduction of an alter - is is,
therefore, the addition of a lie to the real which causes
it to persist and not to blow or as-is.
OBJECTIVE DUB-IN: The manifestation of
putting, unknowingly, perceptions which do not in actual fact
exist, in the environment.
SUBJECTIVE DUB-IN: The manifestation
of putting, unknowingly, perceptions which do not in actual
fact exist, into incidents on the time track.
III - CONDITIONS
Definition: CONDITIONS: Anything called for as a re-
quirement bedsore the performance, completion, or effectiveness
of something else; provision, stipulation. Anything essen-
tial to the existence or occurrence of something else; any-
thing that modifies or restricts the nature, existence, or
occurrence of something else; external circumstances or fac-
tors. Manner or state of being. Proper or healthy state.
Conditions Process Commands
1. Tell me an existing condition.
2. Tell me how you handled it.
Flattening the Conditions Process
The Conditions Process is ended when the preclear has
a revivification or the engram in which they are stuck on
the time track. It is preceded at times by anaten or a
secondary engram (misemotional) or both,
Conditions Process Clearing of Commands
1. Clear the words, "existing" and "condition" by
having the preclear look up the definition in the dictionary.
2. Clear the command, "Tell me an existing condition."
3. Clear the wod "handled" by having the preclear
look up the definition in the dictionary.
4. Clear the command, "Tell me how you handled
THEORY OF THE CONDITIONS PROCESS
The Conditions Process handles the engram the preclear
is stuck in and knocks apart the stuck point an the time track
It is aimed at the preclear who is out of present time, but
who is fighting a back track enemy as though it was in present
time, and who is, therefore, solving a problem in present time
which has ceased to exist in life. Because of this, the pre-
clear is hostile, covert, and antagonistic.
The case of the continuing overts in present time is
resolved with the Conditions Process. All of this case's
continual overts in present time are efforts to solve the
engram in which the preclear is stuck.
The Conditions Process results in a revivification of
this engram in which the preclear is stuck and thereby frees
the individual on the time track so he can now really be in
present time.
While the preclear will recall or remember many inci-
dents, and while he seems to be in many, he is, in actual
fact only in ONE and has been there for a long time with
other incidents piling up on it. The pc will eventually
REVIVIFY (relive) the actual engram briefly and come for the
first time to present time. That is the end of the process.
A secondary (misemotional incident) has to have an
engram (a moment of pain and unconsciousness) under it to be
a secondary and remain in place. That 1s why it is called a
"secondary". A preclear commonly goes through the secondary
(misemotiona1) charge hours or a couple of auditing days be-
fore he revivifies. Thus the appearance of a secondary is
a sign that one is approaching THE engram.
One does not run the secondary or engram as an auditor.
One just goes on running the Conditions Process commands. It
is a severe goof to stop or change processes just because the
pc has hit a secondary or the key engram. One runs the pro-
cess exactly. When the pc revivifies a few more commands
usually gets him into PT and ends tne process. It is a
severe goof to overrun or underrun the process.
End Words
Sometimes persons who couldn't run R-6 well have had
end words fly off for a while when audited on one or another
of the Power Processes. This soon ceases and the pc runs
quite normally. It's just their R-6 auditing coming off.
However, the major symptom of overrunning the process
is that the pc, his "Time Track" blown by a revivification,
begins to audit off real end words much like R-6-EW.
If a pc has revivified and the process is overrun it
can become quite severe in reaction as the pc will stck into
the R-6 bank! However, a preclear can be overrun for several
days without being smashed. But don't do it.
Further Definitions
PRESENT TIME: The time which is now and which becomes
the past almost as rapidly as it is observed. It is a term
loosely applied to the environment existing in now, as in
"preclear came up to present time", meaning the preclear be-
came aware of the existing matter, energy, space, and tine of
now. The point on anyone's time track where his physical body
(if alive) may be found. "Now".
STUCK IN PRESENT TIME: The condition of a person being
incapable of moving on the time track into the past. In
actuality the preclear is in some incident which forces him
to be in the apparent present.
REVIVIFICATION: The bringing back to life of an engram
in wh1ch a preclear is stuck. The engram or some portion
thereof is being acted out in present time by the preclean.
It is called a revivification because the engram is suddenly
more real to the preclear than present time has ever been.
He re-lives that moment briefly. He does no". merely reecall
or remember it.
AN ENGRAM: A mental image picture of an experience
containing pain, unconsciousness, and a real or fancied
threat to survival; it is a recording in the mind of some-
thing which actually happened to the preclear in the past
which contained pain and unconsciousness, both of which are
recorded in the mental image picture called an engram.
ANATEN: A composite of two words, "analytical attenua-
tion", or partial or complete dilution or weakening of the
functions of the analytical mind. The preclear goes
"unconscious" for a moment in the session.
A SECONDARY: A secondary engram is a mental image
picture of a moment in the past containing misemotion - anger,
fear, grief, apathy - where loss either is threatened or
accomplished. However, a secondary can not exist unless an
engram underlies it.
TIME TRACK: The consecutive mental image pictures
recording the consecutive moments of "now" through which the
individual has lived. It consists of locks, secondaries, and
engrams.
