6303C27 SHTVD-19; SHSpec-254 Sec Checking Sec checking is an art. It consists of restimulating stuff which is to be picked up, and then picking it up. The way to do it is thoroughly. Getting through the sec check isn't the point. The point is, getting through to the PC and keying stuff in. [There follows a TVD of Reg Sharpe sec checking Leslie van Straden.] There is a world of difference between sec checking and mid-ruds or any ruds. Ruds are done in a perfunctory manner, just to be able to get on with auditing. Sec checking and prepchecking are auditing the PC's case. On goals running, you are using mid-ruds to brush the PC off, so that there is nothing in your road. In sec checking and prepchecking, you are pressing the question home. You are seeing to it that the PC sees how the question applies to his life: dig dig dig. You discuss and restimulate things so that you can clean them up. To be called an auditor, you must be able to do both of these things: the brush-off and the press-home. In R2G1, you have to be able to do both. It is an art. You have to be able to audit the PC in front of you. You have to work around enough to really clean things up. R2G1 is not run on the needle. It is part of Routine 2 Pre-hav levels, which is run on the tone arm, totally. As long as there is TA, you keep persuading the PC to answer. There is R2GPM [Pre-hav], which is the original pre-hav levels applied to purposes. [S-ee HCOB 13Apr63 "Routine 2G ..." for a summary of the Routine 2G processes, including Routine 2-GPM and Routine 2-G1 to G5.] Sec check, ruds, and havingness are all processes that are run by the needle, not by the TA.
