6309C12 SHSpec-305 Service Facs The difficulty with getting a PC's case forward is that the PC has a hidden standard, which is that by which he measures his progress. It is often unknown, even to the PC. That is why it is "hidden". An aberration is an out-of-control exaggeration of the positive or negative of anything a thetan can do. [Hence Aristotle's doctrine of the Golden Mean.] The fact that something is normal doesn't mean that it isn't aberrated. For instance, the difficulty of exteriorization is accepted, but it is not anything much in line with the thetan's abilities. So departure from the normal is no particular index of case state. Auditors sometimes have trouble because a PC runs too easily. So in judging case level, don't use the PC's behavior as an index. Use the amount of TA motion. By running service facs, the case can change very quickly. So worrying about the PC's "normal" behavior is unnecessary and irrelevant. It is easier to measure a person's case against some scales of abilities than against behavior, and it is more accurate. The condition of restimulation of the case has more to do with understanding the PC and handling him effectively than does the PC's behavior. The only things you worry about with a PC are: 1. Can he do the process? 2. Is he getting any gains? 3. Is he getting TA motion? The fact that someone has a hidden standard merely means that he has a chronic restimulation that is throwing extra charge on the case. It is some facsimile, or whatever, in chronic restimulation. If it was changed in the session, the PC had a gain. If you got TA, some of the chronic restimulation will have gone, so the PC will have had a gain and will probably say so. That, unfortunately, isn't all that happens with a hidden standard. The PC is also trying to fit every process to this thing, to resolve it. He is so introverted in session as a result that he doesn't as-is anything, and you don't get TA action. Time and the TA fit together, and the PC drags his hidden standard facsimile up into every incident, or whatever, in order to evaluate it. Therefore, the PC is always misdating something. The hidden standard isn't the date of it, whatever date he is in. That is why it is the most effective TA stopper. There is a way of getting rid of the hidden standard: a process called R3T, now called R4T. In this process, one simply asks the PC for his chronic psychosomatic -- what he is experiencing and what is always present. He answers, and you date it, whatever it is. Then you get the itsa line in on it. In most cases, that is the end of the hidden standard. The hidden standard always expresses itself physiologically. It is never hidden physically. It will be what the PC complains about. Sometimes it will take you an hour or so of itsa to find out what it is. When the PC spots it, he will feel better, and you will have been getting TA. Don't let him start giving you problems, or you have had it, since problems are not itsa. So perhaps you should stick to, "What physical condition are you trying to solve?" He will finally itsa it out, if he doesn't tell you all at once. If he gives it to you right off the bat, you might get some TA with, "When has this troubled you in auditing?" or " ... in this lifetime?" You can take it up with R3T and date it, taking it back as far as need be. Sometimes dating it will cause it to blow on the spot, especially if you don't get it so narrowed down that you get the PC into an engram and have to run it with R3R, or, if he gets stuck in his own GPM, with R3M2, or if in another GPM, with R3N. [R3T seems to be the precursor to the date portion of the date/locate, for handling intractable pressure somatics.] R3T is commonly overrun. You've got to watch the PC. When you first start using R3T, you are likely to overrun it roughly 80% of the time. Eventually you get slippy and stop overrunning it. Not every PC has a hidden standard, to the point where it ruins the auditing. But a hidden standard exists in every case that has a difficult or delicate TA, that the auditor has to worry about. So R3T is the weapon to use to get the TA moving again, when all else has failed. R3T can fix it, but a little goes a long way. Don't try to run the whole case with R3T, since if you tried to do this, you could end up with a messed-up PC. However, you could do R3T on everything the PC is worried about in PT. You could clear somebody with R3T, as long as you you kept good control over the PC and just dated all his PT hidden standards. The service fac has to be severely located on the time track in this lifetime, so that it will key out. Handle every hidden standard that the PC could dream up. But don't let him pull anything up from the back track in the meantime. Use TR-2. If R3SC goes nowhere, you can still clear the PC using R3T. The tough case is the PC whose service fac is his hidden standard. The only workable handling is carefully to get it dated. This is all destimulation, so you have to be careful not to run anything. The reason you are trying to destimulate the case is so that the PC doesn't have PTP's, so that he can put his attention on the session. If you start a destimulating action and then go backtrack and start running something, the PC will get restimulated. And if the PC's service fac includes making you wrong, that is the first thing he will do. He will try to restimulate more than he can handle. How do you keep the itsa line in on a PC that wants to restimulate more? Be awful damn careful of your whatsits. Remove all social actions and chit-chat from your auditing. Avoid all violent attention shifts, and attention shifts directed by a whatsit, and don't direct the PC's attention in a way that ARC breaks him, so that he has to get even with you by whatsiting. The type of model session to use on a case that isn't getting much TA is your W-unit type model session: no social frills. [W unit was next after the V unit, which was heavily supervised R2-10 and R2-12 on a co-audit basis. W unit contained ruds, havingness, CCH's, and assists. It used "GF model session" or "goal finders model session". See HCOPL 8Dec62 "Training -- Saint Hill Special Briefing Course: Summary of Subjects by Units" for a description of W, X, Y, and Z units. GF model session is given in HCOB 15Oct 2 "Goal Finders Model Session". This bulletin is not on the SHSBC.] Over-restimulation leads to self-invalidation and invalidation of scientology and other dynamics. The PC invalidates his own case, chews himself up all the time, and he doesn't know. So let that be a warning sign to you. The case, minus the service fac, is subject to less restimulation because he pulls in fewer PTP's in his environment. A case without good processing gains has PTP's. The way to handle them is by handling service facs. There is a way of listing for service facs that nails PTP's: 1. "What's a safe assumption about your environment?" 2. "What would be a safe method of handling your problems, here and now in life?" This is only one of many solutions to this situation. Such a question will drop into your lap the stable datum that the person is using to hold at bay various sectors of his existence. So in that respect, it becomes a method of destimulating the environment. You wind up with what he uses to handle his family, his job, etc. Take the PC's whole environment to pieces. Find out where his life is in conflict and what it is in conflict with, in PT. Get what PT consists of. This orients the PC and is good Scientology I. [See p. 479, above, for a description of Scientology I. Note also the similarity to the PT environment list in expanded dianetics.] You should both categorize things and locate them spatially. This is good for the PC's itsa. After you have all of PT, use the above process on it. You could plot the PT environment out and find where most of the PC's problems are. The PC gets gloomiest when talking about this area. The TA dies down as you keep talking about it, indicating that there are more problems there than the PC can confront. He can't put any itsa into the vicinity. As the PC looks at the stable datum that he is using to hold sectors of existence at bay, and as he finds out more about it, you will get his confront on the environment increasing and increasing, as his ability to differentiate comes up. This is a terrific HGC approach. Now that you know about the hot spots and fixated areas in the PC's environment, you have subjects where he can't itsa. You can assess by rising TA to get a zone where there is a service fac in operation. As long as one can't itsa something, he will continue to have PTP's with it, so since the PC can't confront the areas of rising TA, he will have PTP's there, make mistakes, etc. The frequency of PTP's is the measure of no-confront. No-confront is caused by a substitute confront, which is a service facsimile. It isn't that the thetan can't confront. It is that as long as the PC has the service fac, the things he is not-confronting can keep caving him in and restimulating him. Here is a lesson that you should learn about life: Don't stay in places that you don't want to keep confronting, because your non-confronting will lead you to pick up a stable datum to do your confronting for you in that vicinity, and the next thing you know, this is going to be a gorgeous piece of mass and will give you more PTP's than you can ordinarily count, and your life will become very restimulative. The rising TA is less observable than the PC's attitude. If the PC hasn't got anything to say about something, he isn't observing it. Something is observing it for him, and that something is a service fac. Find this and run R3SC steps on it. If you are having trouble with R3SC, you have collided with the RI of the PC's ongoing GPM. It will still handle with R3SC, if with some difficulty. You use several assessments to get something to run on R3SC. You can use a scientology List One assessment or a discussion of PT doingness and environment, with observation of where the PC goes downtone and where the TA rises, indicating areas where the PC can't confront and itsa. When you run the brackets step of R3SC, you will get TA by as-ising stable data and letting confusion fly off. Do a thorough PC Assessment Sheet. You can use the PC Assessment Sheet to find out about the PC's PT, if you treat it as a leisurely 2WC activity, looking for TA action, not data, i.e. doing it as an R3SC assessment. When dealing with this lifetime, let the itsa run free. When dealing with past track, control the itsa line very closely. A assessment at Scientology IV is a rapid, bang-bang assessment.
