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. 424  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=25/6/63 Volnum=1 Issue=278 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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.  L.

[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."  L.

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. 432  L.

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.  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=11/7/63 Volnum=1 Issue=283 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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. 438  L.

Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=16/7/63 Volnum=1 Issue=255 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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."  L.

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.  L.

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. 446  L.

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.  L.

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.  L.

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.  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=7/8/63 Volnum=1 Issue=292 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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. 462  L.

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.  L.

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.  L.

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. 472  L.

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. 475  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=21/8/63 Volnum=1 Issue=297 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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?  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=22/8/63 Volnum=1 Issue=298 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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.  L.

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."  L.

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.  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=29/8/63 Volnum=1 Issue=301 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  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.  L.

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.  L. Ron Hubbard   Type = 3 iDate=3/9/63 Volnum=1 Issue=302 Rev=0 rDate=0/0/0 Addition=0 aDate=0/0/0 aRev=0 arDate=0/0/0  SHSpec-302A R3SC    6309C03 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. 498  L.

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.  L. Ron Hubbard
