6205C24 SHSpec-148 E-meter Data -- Instant Reads (I) If a PC has a stuck picture, don't try to run it. Get the session where it was found and get the missed withhold off that session. LRH has a simple plan: use the E-meter. We had a breakdown in 1961, where everybody was misreading meters; now it is happening again. [See pp.145-6 for a discussion of observing the needle.] Auditors are ignoring reads on ruds questions and auditing over out-ruds. They are not seeing instant reads, for some reason. The Ford Foundation was founded the same day as the Hubbard Research Foundation, and for the same purpose: to find out about life. However, their idea of "scientific research" is looking on a via through symbols. In contrast, when LRH observed the generally crummy appearance of students a few weeks ago, he looked for the reason without presuming what he would find. This is a good way to do research. He found out that if ruds were out, there would be no TA, so he had old prepchecks cleaned. [See p. 229, above.] People thought the meter wasn't reacting because the auditor's TR-1 was out. However, that was not the reason. Auditors just failed to see reactions that were there. If, with modern processes, the PC isn't looking better and doing better, someone isn't reading the meter. An auditor can get into not reading the meter by invalidating the meter. This comes about because he has been audited by someone who missed reads on him, which caused him to lose confidence in the meter. He feels, "It should have read on me and it didn't read (This is a lie and hangs up like any other lie.). If it had read, the auditor would have seen it, so the meter doesn't work, so I won't pay attention to it when I'm auditing." This needn't happen a lot. Meters get invalidated. The inval of the missed read gets suppressed. It hangs up and builds a whole chain. You clean it up by prepchecking, "Has any auditor failed to find a meter read on you that you thought should have reacted?" That gets the unknowns out of it. It has unknowns in it because it occurred in mid-session when the PC's attention was on something else. The mechanism of enchantment is similar to this. It could work something like this: At a time when thetans could mock up their own bodies, one thetan could put in a command phrase on another thetan in the middle of subjecting him to a severe secondary or engram. The command phrase could be, "You are now a deer," and the enchantee would cease to mock up the prince, or whatever he was mocking up and mock up a deer, and he would be an enchanted deer. So you lay in an inval of the meter; at a time when the PC's attention is on his withholds or something, he gets a further withhold on top of it. Thereafter, he distrusts meters and can't read them. It would take more than that motivator, however. It would take some overt that is actually a motivator also. The PC is at the auditor's mercy, being out of PT, etc. You have to audit in a way that doesn't impede the PC from going clear. You avoid restimulation of the GPM until the PC is ready to go clear and you can then blow the GPM to bits. Auditing roughly can create inadvertent implants. Incomprehensible people are people who wouldn't want your goal. [See p. 259]. The individual's goal line is important. Things that cross against his goal to get clear are all auditing errors. Smooth auditing is designed not to bat his goal back; not to impede him. Making him think the meter doesn't work is very upsetting to him, even if analytically he is relieved not to have been found out. Of course, once the PC is utterly ARC broken, the meter doesn't read. So the auditor can get to the point where he doesn't see or believe the reads that he gets. You can get random reads on the words in the question or on some stray thought, but if you recheck it, it drops out or at least doesn't appear in the same place. An instant read is instant; it is not contained in the body of the question. Those are prior reads. The lag in an instant read is essentially nonexistent. The auditor is actually talking to a thought in the bank. Auditors often mistakenly think the PC can analytically influence the meter, but he can't. The PC can't even influence the meter on a via, as an instant read. He can do it by thinking of something that he knows there is unknownness about, but in this case, the read will be latent. Since there is no time in the reactive mind, only nowness, you get instant reads from the reactive mind. Furthermore, the PC doesn't know what produced the instant read; at least he doesn't know all about it, or it wouldn't read. A reading item contains unknowns. The reactive mind is a cauldron of unknowns that always exist in Now. "Consistency of [needle] action is determined by consistency of unknown and its immediacy in PT." So use the questions in HCOB 23May62 ["Very Important: E-Meter Reads -- Prepchecking: How Meters Get invalidated" This contains questions about invalidation of meter reads, both from the point of being an auditor and from the point of view of being a PC.] to clean up meter inval. It is important to get this straightened out for the sake of pcs. If you see the PC's instant embarrassment, it is as good as an instant meter read. You do have to observe, however, and it is tough to get people to to this. [Note: LRH first mentions Routine 3GA at the end of this tape. Routine 3DXX is mentioned in the confidential tape: 6204C26 SHSpec-139 "Rundown on Routine 3: Routine 3DXX". Routine 3G is mentioned in 6205C01 SHSpec-141 "Routine 3-G" This is Routine 3 employing goals. It is possible that the tape, 6206C12 SHSpec-160 "How to Do Goals Assessment", contains the basic data about Routine 3GA and that Routine 3GA means Routine 3 Goals Assessment. Routine 3GA is also mentioned in several other SHSBC tapes. 6206C19 SHSpec-158 "Do's and Don'ts of R3GA", and SHSpec-176, 177, 178, 180, 181, all appear to contain basic data on Routine 3GA.
